Dragon’s sleep.
Healing sleep.
It had many names, but its essence was simple.
Sleep to heal your wounds.
In fact, if it were just this, there would be no need to call it a healing sleep.
Even the smallest creatures leave it up to nature’s healing power.
The dragon’s sleep had a slightly more special meaning.
Being born again.
To discard the broken body and be reborn with a new body.
Three hundred years ago, Malekith was defeated by the great hero Carlos and the founding king, Lion D. Cailun.
Life was on the line, and the fatal wounds inflicted by Ascalon, the Dragon’s Destruction, could not be healed with ordinary healing magic.
That is why Malekith chose the dragon’s sleep.
He had to sleep for over three hundred years, but he had no other choice.
“Protect me until the day of vengeance.”
After leaving those words, Malekith began his dragon slumber on a remote island.
Three hundred years was not a long time for the Ancient Dragon who lived a time that could be called eternity, but it was not for his subordinates.
Even for elves and dwarves, whose lifespans were several times that of humans, three hundred years was a very long time.
And the same was true for the common dragons belonging to the dragon army.
That’s why the Dragon General Orga made a proposal to Sicilia and Madurus.
“We also sleep with our Father. But one of the three stays awake and guards the island, our Father, and all the rest who are asleep.”
Of course, I’m not talking about ordinary sleep.
It was a hibernation using the magic of frozen time.
Cecilia and Madhur agreed to this proposal, and promised to take turns guarding Malekith for a hundred years.
And now, finally, after three hundred years have passed.
“Lord Malekith, Lord Malekith.”
Sicilia hurried her steps, repeatedly calling Malekith’s name.
Even though all of Malekith’s forces, including General Orga, had awakened, the battle situation was not good.
‘It’s okay, it’s not a problem. It’ll all be resolved if Malekith wakes up.’
There was still one day left until the dragon’s sleep was fully complete, but there was no other way.
Malekith had to be awakened as soon as possible.
Instead of walking down the spiral staircase, Cecilia jumped down the middle to shorten the distance, and thought about revenge.
Revenge on the Forest of Eternity.
The blood price she had to pay.
The reason why she, a member of the High Elf royal family, became Malekith’s concubine.
The fear, anxiety and dread subsided.
Sicilia, who had once again gathered her resolve, took another deep breath and looked beyond the gaping hole in front of her eyes.
I took in a single glance the vast void and Malekith curled up and sleeping within it.
Ancient Black Dragon.
A giant god-like being with a body length of 150 meters.
“Haa, haa.”
Although my breathing was still rough, a smile came to my face without me realizing it.
Malekith’s massive body was enough to provide relief in its own right.
“Lord Malekith.”
Sicilia hurried her steps and stepped onto the magic circle in front of the hole, reciting the spell and making a hand seal at the same time.
Quagga River!
It wasn’t a magic circle.
An explosion was heard in the distance, accompanied by a loud rumbling of the ground.
The sound of the gates that had been sealed on the way here being destroyed was clear.
Kwakang! Boom! Kwakang!
The explosions were getting closer and closer.
Although they had placed a considerable number of undead to block the road, it was clear that they were falling like fallen leaves in the autumn wind.
‘Just a little more, just a little more.’
My mouth was completely dry.
The hands that were making the seal were shaking so much.
Again, anxiety and fear grew.
How is the fight going outside?
What on earth is that monster that was overwhelming Orga?
human being.
human being.
Why are such monsters born among the short-lived worms?
No matter how large the number is, isn’t it too absurd?
bang!
Another loud noise erupted. And this time it was close. Sicilia quickly turned her head, making a hand gesture, and saw a large light appear before her eyes. The moment the pure white light filled her entire field of vision, a series of loud noises occurred.
“Oh, Carda Gnome!”
As Sicilia shouted while chanting the water sign with one hand, a magical barrier was unfurled. At the same time, the magic spells activated on the wall shot out red lightning towards the source of the loud noise.
Quagga River!
Lightning struck and shattered the surrounding area, but Sicilia gritted her teeth.
It was because she had an excellent ability to sense magic that she could vividly sense the being beyond the dust.
“angel!”
The one who destroyed all red lightning with pure white wings.
Lena’s eyes shone through her fluttering golden hair. As she unleashed her holy power once more, the evil energies that had filled the underground were purified at once.
“Anzenta!”
As Sicilia cried out desperately, a purple barrier blocked Lena’s holy power.
But it was only a waste of time. As Lena took a step forward and unfurled her wings, they shattered before they could even last a moment.
“Cantante!”
As Sicilia shouted nervously again, dozens of spears of the spirits formed in the air, each a powerful cursed weapon containing the soul of a dead person.
Watching them fly towards her, Lena recited the same spell. She summoned the holy spears and intercepted the spears of curse.
Kagagagagagagang-!
Dozens of explosions followed in an instant, and Sicilia felt satisfied. The current attacks were all just a waste of time, but that was exactly what Sicilia needed.
“Cordo!”
Between Sicilia and Lena rose several stone walls.
Those that sprouted from the ceiling, floor, and walls could only last a few seconds before Lena fired her holy light bullets, but that was enough.
“It’s too late.”
Cecilia said with a big smile on her face.
The time has come.
The magic circle was activated, and succeeded in awakening Malekith from his dragon slumber, albeit a day early.
Gooooooooooooooooooo-!
A huge roar came from the hollow behind them.
Malekith’s massive form was slowly rising.
Now, Malekith will shed his colossal husk and emerge reborn.
“It’s too late, it’s too late!”
Sicilia was unable to control herself as her suppressed anxiety and fear were so great.
He shouted and screamed, and Lena did not attack Sicilia any more. She just nodded with her arms down.
“Yeah, it’s too late.”
“That’s right! You’re too late······.”
That was it.
Cecilia felt strange, because there was a smile on Lena’s face.
What could it be?
Is that angel crazy?
What do you mean by laughing like that, saying it’s too late?
Reasons to smile.
What she meant by late.
“no way?!”
It felt like a thunderbolt struck my head.
Cecilia turned away even though Lena was right in front of her, so she could see.
The majestic figure of Malekith raising his giant body, and a single bolt of lightning shooting toward Malekith’s chest.
A pair of men and women soaring from the ground to the sky!
“lightning!”
I got it. I realized it.
The light just before.
A huge light was created when Lena appeared.
It was too much at the time.
Instead of attacking Sicilia herself, the bastards who had dug into the commons had been targeting this very moment, the moment when Malekith would raise his upper body.
“Nooooooooooooo!”
Cecilia shouted urgently and tried to fly away.
Lena unfurled her wings without even looking.
And Uther and Cordelia reached Malekith’s chest.
I saw clearly the scar on his chest, carved long ago by the great hero Carlos.
“Ohhhhhhh!”
Uther and Cordelia shouted at the same time. They thrust the ultimate sword containing the spirit and flesh of the ancient blue dragon Ascalon into the wound of his shattered chest, Dragon’s Destruction!
“Nooooooooooooooooooo!”
“Kuaaa …
Sicily’s screams were drowned out by a mighty howl.
Cecilia sank to her feet, and Lena opened her eyes wide.
I saw huge cracks spread across Malekith’s body.
“Uder! Cordelia!”
Lena shouted reflexively, because she immediately understood what the crack before her eyes meant.
She was able to perceive the current situation much more calmly than Cecilia, who had lost her cool.
“Ahhhh!”
Malekith roared. At the same time, the cracks spreading across his body grew wider. Malekith’s entire body collapsed, and Sicilia finally realized what was happening. A bright smile appeared on her wailing face again.
“Lord Malekith!”
He responded. Malekith roared loudly in response to the call, rising from the cracks in his body with red light.
Quagga River!
He broke through the ceiling wall and flew up. He reached high in the sky and spread his wings.
“Klarararararararara!”
The dragon’s roar shook the world.
At the same time, Malekith’s body was torn apart along the line that had formed throughout his body.
No, it was only Malekith’s ruin that was broken.
Dragon’s sleep.
A completely reborn body!
“Father!”
Orga, who was rolling around on the floor covered in blood, shouted loudly.
All of the struggling dragon legions looked up to the sky, and everyone on the island, regardless of whether they were humans or goblins, trembled before the overwhelming presence.
“Klarararararararara!”
Malekith roared again and spread his wings, shaking off all his husks to make his presence clear.
And at that moment, Uther and Cordelia were flying in disarray. They were thrown out as Malekith, who had soared high into the sky, could not withstand the force of his wings spreading.
“Eww!”
Cordelia, who held Yuder tightly in both arms, spread her wings with all her might.
I somehow managed to reduce the speed at which I was flying – no, falling – while enduring the enormous load on my body.
Kwakang!
But there wasn’t enough time to completely remove it.
But Uther and Cordelia, entangled together, flew like cannonballs and crashed into the sea.
Quagaga-!
Uther and Cordelia broke the surface and delved deep into the sea.
Yuder managed to prevent Cordelia from colliding directly with him by rotating his body just before the collision, but it felt like his back was going to break. The impact was so great that he lost consciousness for a moment.
However, Uther and Cordelia did not continue to sink. Thanks to Uther, Cordelia avoided a direct collision and hugged Uther with her wings, and Uther, who had come to his senses, quickly headed towards the surface of the water.
“Cough!”
As soon as they lifted their heads above the water, Uther and Cordelia let out heavy breaths without saying a word. They held each other tightly, panting, and looked up at the sky, unable to do anything about their wet hair.
That far away place.
A god-like being roaring with its wings spread out in the center of the island and the sky.
It was huge.
It was powerful.
It was a more powerful and fearsome being than anything I had ever encountered before.
But instead of trembling in fear, Uther and Cordelia took a deep breath.
He said this while looking up at Malekith’s gigantic body, which was so huge that it was almost intimidating.
“It worked.”
I never thought I could kill that giant monster with one blow.
What was aimed at was weakening the bastard.
“Phase two… no, three?”
“Three.”
As Cordelia spoke, panting, Uther answered, relying on his memory.
It made it clear what most people miss because of its massive presence and fearsome roar.
“It’s not normal.”
Although it was only one day, there was a difference in the level of completion.
Moreover, Ascalon was also effective.
Although Malekith had invested three hundred years of time into healing, he was unable to fully heal the wound in his chest due to the attack by Uther and Cordelia just before he woke up.
Moreover, Ascalon was embedded in the bastard’s chest.
The curse of the dragon that hated dragons was destroying its body and soul.
An imperfect body despite being newly born.
Cracks remain here and there on the body.
The spirit and flesh are gradually being destroyed due to the dragon’s destruction.
“This is the biggest boss fight ever.”
It was going to be the hardest fight I’d ever had since I regained my memories of my past life.
“This is a total raid.”
That’s a proper boss raid too.
This is the true king of RPGs, where numerous heroes gather together to defeat a giant boss.
Four of the five heroes of Paragon were present.
The fleet of the Seven Southern Clans, which had over a thousand cannons combined and the elite troops of the South numbering in the thousands, also joined.
With Kaisa and Scarlett also here, it was a pretty luxurious group of members.
However, it was not possible to guarantee victory unconditionally.
Because the Ancient Black Dragon was truly a god-like being.
Because it was a monster that could defeat the Demon Prince single-handedly.
In order to take him down, I had to risk my life too.
“Haa, ha······.”
Cordelia swallowed hard again.
And so did Uther.
Since awakening the memories of my past life, I have been on the brink of death countless times, but this moment felt more special.
Why is that?
Because Cordelia is with you?
But it was the same in the royal capital, in the wild lands, and in the North.
Since I awakened my memories of my past life, I have always been with Cordelia.
Always together.
Not only when I’m happy and joyful, but also when I’m having a hard time and feeling miserable.
My heart was pounding.
Thanks to the nine-thousand-nine-word spell, he could hear the heartbeats of Cordelia and Yuder, who had reached the level of a superhuman. He could feel Cordelia’s heartbeats being transmitted through their touching chests.
I looked back at Cordelia’s face absentmindedly.
Blue eyes.
Cordelia was the same.
I looked back at Yuder as if I was drawn to his gaze.
That’s how we faced each other.
Cordelia blinked. She stared at me as if asking what was going on.
Same look as always.
But it was different.
Whether it was because he was facing his greatest enemy ever, or because he had so many pent-up impulses, Uder could no longer hold back.
No, I decided I couldn’t stand it anymore.
He hugged Cordelia’s waist a little roughly, making her presence clear in his arms.
“Yuderya?”
“i like you.”
Just said it out loud.
Feeling a strange sense of liberation, Yuder continued to speak.
“I like you. No, I love you, Cordelia.”
It was a word that came out without me knowing.
And that’s why it wasn’t just some made-up words.
Plain words that can’t even be accompanied by a consolation prize.
A confession as crude as it gets.
Cordelia blinked. Then she opened her eyes wide again and held her breath. Her face turned red.
I had to say something.
But my mind went blank and I couldn’t think of anything to say.
So Cordelia acted instinctively as always.
“Me, me too.”
Uther laughed at the words that escaped his lips. Cordelia’s face became a mess and she couldn’t say anything.
In the sea.
A cauldron of chaos where you’re soaking wet and floating, a god-like evil dragon roars in the sky, humans and goblins fight on the island, and dragons and zombie dragons clash in the sky.
But that didn’t matter.
Uther looked at Cordelia, and Cordelia looked at Uther.
At some point, the distance between the two people naturally narrowed.
Cordelia closed her eyes gently, and so did Uther. Despite their eyes being closed, their lips met each other’s so naturally.
“Klarararararararara-!”
Malekith roared from afar.
Once again the world was shaken, dragons and zombie dragons trembled in fear, and the seas shook with the overwhelming presence.
But Uther and Cordelia didn’t care.
No, I wasn’t aware of all that at all.
A short kiss.
The moment our lips touched, it didn’t feel like something fantastic as I had imagined.
It wasn’t much different from when I just kissed her on the cheek.
But when our lips parted, when hot breath escaped between our slightly parted lips.
When we opened our eyes that we had closed quietly and looked at each other.
Uther and Cordelia realized it at the same time.
Something has changed.
That so many things changed even though we only kissed once.
Malekith unleashed Dragon Fear.
The dragons and zombie dragons could no longer hold out in the sky and settled on the ground, and the humans and goblins did not dare to fight. The entire island held its breath before the being called Malekith.
But Uther and Cordelia still only saw each other.
Both of them focused on the voice that Cordelia let out without realizing it.
“Ha, one more time.”
Cordelia, who spoke in a dazed manner as if she were drunk, hugged Uther’s neck, and Uther did not stop her. He hugged Cordelia’s waist and kissed her lips again.
mellowness.
Softness.
All the good things in the world.
Yuder, who had his eyes closed, felt such things.
But Cordelia, whose eyes were wide open, thought a little differently.
Because it was a little different from what Sister and Dahlia said.
It’s good, but I felt like it was a little lacking.
Cordelia’s instincts were speaking.
Not yet.
This much is not enough.
I need something a little stronger.
Then what is it?
What should I do?
My lips parted instinctively.
The tip of Cordelia’s tongue touched Uther’s lips.
But just before he pushed it in, Yuder’s lips moved away.
Cordelia unconsciously leaned her face toward Uther’s lips, but Uther’s lips were already too far away to touch.
No, why?
Why?
Cordelia looked at Uther with a hint of resentment, thirst, and regret, and Uther bit his lip once and caressed Cordelia’s cheek as he spoke.
“Next, let’s continue.”
next?
What’s next?
What’s next?
Huh? What’s next?
What’s next?
Cordelia, who had been absentmindedly thinking, suddenly regained her senses.
That’s when he realized what his instincts – the beast that Yuder always talked about – were trying to do.
‘Whoa!’
Cordelia wanted to scream inwardly and cover her face with her hands – no, she wanted to run away, but it was impossible.
Because the enemy was right in front of us.
So next.
Oh, next.
After this fight is over.
After this fight is over!
“Okay, wait a minute!”
This is a flag.
That’s a death flag too!
“Idiot! Anyway, idiot!”
What if I set a death flag right before a boss fight?
It was a groundless accusation, but as always, Uther completely understood Cordelia’s intentions.
So I pressed my lips to her forehead.
“Ugh.”
But Cordelia’s discontent was not something that could be alleviated to that extent.
No, the discontent shown on Cordelia’s face wasn’t about the flag in the first place.
‘Are you still going to do it on your forehead?’
Neither side said anything.
But Uther took action because it was clearly visible in his eyes. He pressed his lips to Cordelia’s again and blushed again.
Because I felt strangely embarrassed.
Oddly enough, this past time was more embarrassing than the previous two.
“fool.”
Cordelia, seeing Uther’s flushed face, laughed with a blush on her face and hugged Uther’s neck once again.
I took a deep breath, forced myself to catch my breath, and looked back at reality.
A giant evil dragon roars from the sky and heroes gather to fight it.
“let’s go.”
“Okay, let’s go. We have to win to move on.”
next.
Oh, next.
What on earth comes next?
Why do I think of Adelia and Uncle Gail?
That’s what I want to know.
Cordelia muttered in her heart and straightened her expression. She suppressed the beast inside her heart that kept trying to stick its head out, then spread her wings.
Uther also prepared for battle.
He recited the nine heavenly gates and activated the power of the black sun.
[Thank goodness. I was debating whether I should intervene or not.]
[If it had been just a little longer, I would have intervened, posterity.]
The voices that rang in Cordelia and Uther’s heads.
Instead of showing it, the two of them just smiled and jumped out of the water.
The battle with the giant evil dragon that covered the sky began.
