Sicilia ran breathlessly.
It was a truly horrible thing to do, but I was attacked.
The dragonflight and the dragons suffered heavy losses from the battleships’ attacks, and thousands of humans landed on the island and pushed back the orcs and goblins.
So instead of fighting the humans alongside Orga, Sicilia ran towards the center of the island – to be exact, towards Malekith’s haven located underground.
‘Lord Malekith!’
There was only one day left until Malekith’s full resurrection.
To begin with, the ‘Dragon Sleep’ that Malekith had fallen into was a magical ritual, so the difference made by that one day was quite significant, but it was not to the point where it was completely impossible to wake up.
Awaken Malekith.
Resurrect the Ancient Black Dragon, a divine being, to overcome the current crisis!
It was an urgent situation.
It was a time when I was so anxious that it was difficult to even think about anything else.
But even so, Sicilia looked back. She screamed just before passing through the door leading to Malekith’s resting place.
“Orga-nim!”
The strongest of Malekith’s children.
Orga, the dragon general who leads the dragon army.
Although he was just a regular adult dragon and not an Ancient Black Dragon, he was unique among them.
Its body length was nearly forty meters, and its physical abilities, such as strength and agility, were twice that of a normal adult dragon. Adding to this the powerful magic granted to it by Malekith and its own outstanding fighting sense, its fighting prowess was unrivaled even among Malekith’s entire legions.
But that Orga, the dragon general leading the dragon army-
Quagga River!
Orga’s giant body crashed down and hit the ground. The impact on his head was enough to momentarily knock him unconscious.
“Ugh······.”
Orga raised his head with a groan.
I opened my eyes wide to find the person I saw just before I fell.
But there was nothing particularly visible.
And it was so natural.
Just around the corner.
Above the ground, not in the sky.
A small, but huge by human standards, human was running towards me.
He jumped up with a fierce laugh and pulled out his fist.
A human charging at a giant dragon with his bare hands.
It was such an absurd sight that I couldn’t help but stare blankly.
He failed to connect the fact that it was the human in front of him – or rather, the human’s kick – that caused him to fall with the current reality.
It wasn’t Orga’s fault.
Orga was a realistic dragon.
Unlike his brothers and sisters who were extremely hasty and violent, he was an intelligent being who could make cool and calm judgments, and at the same time knew what common sense was.
That’s why I couldn’t help but be even more bewildered by the sight before my eyes.
Because I was human.
Because it was such a weak creature that it would die if you stepped on it!
bang!
Man – The fist that Landius swung destroyed Orga’s magic barrier. It was a barrier that could easily block even the slightest physical force, but it shattered into pieces, which was natural.
It was none other than Landius’s fist.
“Oh, you’re crazy!”
But thanks to that, Orga came to his senses and cursed as he opened up his barrier again. It was a much stronger barrier than the magical barrier he had opened up unconsciously just before.
But it was no use. With a loud crash, the barrier was destroyed again. As expected, it was Landius’s fist.
“Wow!”
Landius, who had broken through the magic barriers with a series of attacks, leaped up from the ground. Diagonally upward – towards Orga’s head.
Orga quickly moved his head and spread his wings at the same time. He was planning to somehow dodge this attack and then fly up to gain some distance.
And that thought became somewhat of a reality, as I was able to dodge Landius’s lightning-quick charge by a hair’s breadth.
But it wasn’t perfect.
Just when he thought he had avoided the attack by moving his head to the side, Landius turned his body. Suddenly, he twisted his waist in midair and kicked Orga in the face instead of punching him.
“Ugh!”
Orga’s jaw turned. No, it went beyond that, his huge body fell down in the direction of the kick.
The car’s power was so strong that Landius, who had launched an attack, was thrown back by the recoil.
“Ugh··· Ugh······.”
It wasn’t just a headache. Orga couldn’t breathe properly. He didn’t even know how his facial bones were broken.
“Ugh.”
Orga, who had vomited out a lot of blood that had accumulated in his mouth, reflexively flapped his wings.
It was a behavior closer to a survival instinct than a fighting instinct.
bang!
Landius, who had been thrown far away, kicked the ground again. Orga also jumped up quickly and flapped his wings.
But there wasn’t enough time and distance to completely shake it off. So Orga opened his mouth in a hurry and let out a hastily prepared breath.
Quagwaga-!
A pillar of pitch-black light.
It was a powerful force that destroyed everything in its path, but it was a bad choice. It would have been better to just breathe fire.
bang!
Landius struck with his breath weapon. He struck the jet-black pillar of light with his golden-glowing fist, deflecting it and shattering it. He kicked the ground that was flipped over by the fragments of his breath weapon, closing the distance between him and Orga.
I felt a rising fear.
I had no choice but to do that.
A human who can not only break shields with his bare fists, but also destroy breath weapons.
No, was that even a human in the first place?
It was an interesting idea, but I didn’t have time to enjoy it.
Orga managed to gain altitude by desperately flapping his wings. After all, Landius was a two-legged runner, so he thought that if he headed high into the sky, he could somehow gain some distance.
But the moment I thought that.
At that moment, with the help of desperate wing flapping, Landius was placed under my feet.
“The wings of an angel.”
Landius whispered softly.
He activated the magic device he had equipped on his back.
Chook-!
A beautiful silver wing spread out behind Landius’s back.
It was an ancient treasure that granted its owner the ability to fly.
“Are you crazy?!”
What’s the item here?
That monster even uses items?
In fact, it was a natural thing.
Because humans are tool-using animals.
Orga had never seen anyone rush in front of a dragon without any items on and was just running around naked.
But this time, things were different.
It was such absurdity that I was shaking.
“Fuck!”
I swore and used all my attack magic, but it was too late.
The distance between him and Landius, who had spread his silver wings, had already narrowed.
“Eww!”
That’s when Orga screamed.
Landius’ palm touched Orga’s chest. A golden flash of light resembling the sun penetrated Orga’s chest.
Boom!
With a loud noise, Orga fell headfirst towards the ground again.
It was truly a magnificent sight, but Kamael didn’t even look in that direction. Landius’ victory was such a foregone conclusion in his mind.
That was why Kamael focused on eliminating the dragons in front of him. More than half of them had been killed thanks to the fleet’s barrage, but there were still quite a few left.
“Lord Kamael! The fleet!”
Just then, Caesar, who was nearby, shouted loudly and pointed towards the shore.
Dragons and dragonflies were seen flying above the heads of the elite southern forces who had landed and begun fighting.
It was clear that they were targeting the fleet that was reloading its guns.
But this time Kamael didn’t look at it properly either.
Because it was so obvious.
It was predictable that they would target the fleet while it was defenseless and reloading its cannons.
That is why countermeasures were also prepared.
It is a truly simple yet wicked solution.
“Break it! Destroy it!”
The dragons of the Dragon Legion took a deep breath after giving orders to their subordinates. They were going to destroy the fleet with their breath weapons.
But right after shouting that, the dragons couldn’t help but open their eyes wide.
“Rapid dive!”
“Reload in the sea!”
Unrealistic orders became reality.
After finishing their bombardment, the battleships dodged to avoid attack, and actually reloaded under the sea.
“This is crazy!”
Some of the dragons fired their breath weapons, but it was of little use.
Because it was nearly impossible to properly shoot at battleships hiding in the sea.
Furthermore, the problem was that once they dived like that, there was no way to attack.
“You wicked bastards!”
Garant, who could be considered a veteran of the Dragon Legion, spit out curses.
Because the actions of humans were truly incredibly evil.
But the real problem was – no, the evil was something else.
As Garant swore at the battleships that had sunk into the sea, three of the twenty-seven battleships that had been mobilized for this battle surfaced in the distance. They fired their guns at Garant and his brothers who were floating around blankly above the sunken battleships.
“Garant! Damage!”
“what?”
When Garant turned his gaze, the cannonball had already flown in. Garant was barely able to avoid it thanks to quickly deploying shield magic to kill its power, but the dragons around him were not.
“Dive! Dive right in!”
Shoot and fry.
The human warships sank and rose in groups of two or three, firing their cannons repeatedly.
It was difficult to respond properly because they took turns attacking each other, even though they were far apart, as if the order had been decided in advance.
“Kwaaak! Those evil bastards!”
Even when he followed his father Malekith into sleep, such a thing did not exist.
Firing over 40 cannons from a single ship. Moreover, the power of the cannons was incomparable to that of three hundred years ago.
“Humans! Even the humans who have landed!”
Garant changed the target of his attacks by using his few remaining brothers and sisters and the dragons.
The idea was to trample and crush the humans fighting the orcs and goblins on the ground.
‘It’s different on land!’
From the human standpoint, since there are friendly forces mixed in, they cannot fire cannons recklessly.
So, Garant landed on the ground, swung his tail, and breathed fire to wipe out the humans.
But just before putting it into practice.
Garant was faced with it.
This is truly the endless evil of humanity.
&
Count Kagehama was a man of common sense.
He did not give the order to fire at the dragons and sub-dragons that were mixed in with his allies.
And the same was true of the Marquis of Offand.
These two people were the kind of people who, even in their dreams, could not have imagined firing a cannon over the heads of their allies in the name of victory.
Therefore, the human malice that Garant witnessed did not originate from these two people.
A person with a dark heart.
Uther, who was running at lightning speed, stopped for a moment instead of immediately infiltrating the building that Sicilia had entered. This was because Cordelia quickly grabbed Uther by the neck.
“Cordelia?”
“Now! Right now!”
What is that noise all of a sudden?
Since I was carrying her on my back, I couldn’t look her in the eye, so I had to solve it through conversation, but Cordelia was too excited for that.
“No, I mean! Oh, I don’t know! Wait a minute!”
She shouted loudly, put her hand into her bosom while being carried on Yuder’s back, and took out an object without saying a word.
A crystal ball that glows golden.
It was definitely an object that wasn’t glowing until yesterday. So I gave up on it, but at this very moment, it’s starting to glow.
Uder opened his eyes wide.
Cordelia smiled broadly and raised her crystal ball high.
Because things should be used when they can be used.
Cordelia, who remembered the strawberry cake that she had tried to save but had forgotten to eat and now passed its expiration date, shouted without a moment’s hesitation.
“Belkian! Help me!”
Necromancer Belkian.
He said that if the light starts to shine from the crystal ball, he can call himself anytime, anywhere.
The crystal ball sucked in Cordelia’s magic. The ancient magic device created a huge portal in the air.
“What’s going on?”
A calm voice that doesn’t fit the battlefield.
As always, Belkian, wearing the plague doctor’s beak mask upside down, spoke as he crossed the portal of space, and instead of explaining further, Cordelia pointed to the sky once again.
“Landius?”
Belkian blinked behind his mask.
And soon he found Kamael and Lena too.
I felt bewildered by the battlefield where humans, orcs, goblins, dragons, and sub-dragons were all fighting together, but I did not show my feelings.
Because just by looking at the current situation, I understood why you called me.
The evil dragon Malekith and his dragon army of the south, who caused countless massacres and tragedies three hundred years ago.
I didn’t know the circumstances before and after, but there was no reason not to help in the fight against those guys.
“Please!”
As Cordelia shouted again, Belkian nodded and immediately activated his death magic. He chanted a complex spell and unleashed powerful ancient magic upon the world.
It wasn’t the summoning spell used in the royal capital.
Instead of calling the Death Knight and raising countless skeleton soldiers, he used a different magic.
“Rise up, my servants.”
Create undead.
It could be said to be the basic skill of necromancers, raising dead corpses.
But the caster was none other than Belkian.
Moreover, there is now an abundance of quality materials around.
Kugugugugugugu-!
One by one, they rose to their feet with a magnificent sound.
He roared, spreading his torn and broken wings.
“Kwaaah!”
Dragons and sub-dragons that were swept away by the saturation.
They are born again.
Thanks to Belkian’s magic, I was granted new life – no, a false life.
Zombie dragons rise up with a terrible roar.
Undead dragons flying with their halved bodies.
Belkian looked at them with cold, sunken eyes, then adjusted the Crown of Life on his head and gave an order.
“Attack.”
Your blood brothers and sisters.
Those who were our allies until just now.
The undead obeyed Belkian’s merciless command, baring their teeth and claws at the remaining dragonflight.
“wow.”
Cordelia was amazed, and Uther also looked dazed for a moment.
Because the scene of dozens of dragons and zombie dragons clashing in the sky and on the ground was truly a myth.
Even the humans and goblins who were fighting each other for a moment forgot about the enemy before them and watched the dragons fight.
“good.”
Just then Belkian spoke.
Because of their rich combat experience, they realized that Uther and Cordelia had different missions.
“I’ll be back soon.”
Cordelia’s eyes sparkled and she hugged Uther’s neck, and Uther nodded silently before kicking the ground again.
Underground of the island.
He charged towards Malekith’s resting place.
