Chapter 478
It wasn’t what I was aiming for there from the beginning. no, i didn’t know
This is the same logic as not easily finding a squirrel hiding in a dense forest.
The body of the mutated god dragon was really huge to find there, and I didn’t think that there would be such a gap in the part that he thoroughly protected even during battle.
but… … .
‘That’s it.’
there was. A weak point that could break the tough breath of this gigantic monster.
And I didn’t miss the golden opportunity to end this fight.
hooked!
– Kreuk??… ■!
Creatures are truly amazing. It is because they constantly supplement their weaknesses and evolve according to the surrounding environment.
Now I only hope for an average lifespan of 100 years
If that’s the case with human beings who see it, it’s no different than this supreme being who has lived for hundreds of years.
‘Is it a coincidence? Or destiny?’
Either one doesn’t matter.
At this moment, the most important fact is that there was an empty space of just one scale on the nape of his neck, which was surrounded by the hardest scales, and that I did not miss that gap.
“Good job.”
The last word of thanks is a right that only the winner can enjoy.
I inserted the spear blade precisely into the lower part of the neck, exactly where the uvula would have been if it were a human, and I pushed it deep into it, adding strength to the hand holding the spear rod.
Fu-wook!
Kruck. His scaly jaw trembled with a short moan as if he was breathing in vain.
Then, the jet-black pupils swayed, and at the end of the wide-open mouth, the sphere of water with completion in front of the nose began to slowly disperse.
Aww.
The unfinished water breath is nothing more than simple water.
I did not avoid the water that poured down on my head and was hit intact.
The exceptionally cool Dongdong Lake water drenched his entire body, and his mind calmed down.
‘I won.’
At the same time, a thrilling sensation ran down my spine.
The end of a long and fierce battle.
I survived once more and rammed the blade into the neck of a formidable foe. And, as always, the end of a life-and-death fight comes down to only two words.
vertical and horizontal.
Winners stand tall and losers fall.
Even if it is an evil substance that has lived a long time, it cannot be an exception to this absolute law of the weak and the strong.
Whoops. Chew!
The fuselage, which was once more solid and powerful than anyone else, collapses, and soon collapses onto the river of Dong Dong Lake.
Through the high spray, I could see slowly blinking eyes and a finely quivering snout.
no.
heard
– That’s right.
U ≫
The moment I heard someone’s voice resonating in my head, my hands that tried to push the window back in to suffocate completely gave up.
As I looked at the huge eyes of the transforming water dragon as if possessed by something, I felt my body stiffen.
‘What is this?’
A dark star shining all over
The figure of the monster with a star was nowhere to be found.
As if the dark clouds of one day after a heavy rain and wind had cleared away, there were clear, deep eyes resembling the blue sky.
– No surprise. It’s an ability that comes naturally after living for about five hundred years.
“… … Transmission?”
– Well, it would be more correct to call it a suspicion.
The mystical being with another name, the mutated water dragon, or rather, Lee Kak-soo of Dong Dong-ho, calmly let go of his thoughts.
– You don’t know me, but I know you. It’s the same as the one I saw in a dream a long time ago. I thought it was a mere dream and forgot about it… … . Yes, this would be fine too.
dream? in order?
Damn, I don’t know how the hell this is going to work.
“This, this is what it is.”
– her.
It must have been very funny to see myself hesitating because I couldn’t find anything to say. A gurgling laugh escaped from the blood-drenched beast’s mouth.
– You can’t understand it. Don’t even try to understand it. It’s just the grumbling of an old Imoogi who couldn’t ascend to heaven due to lack of training. The only pity is that I have no more time left.
The dragon’s words were true. The body, which had already reached its limit, was on the verge of death, and the light was slowly disappearing from the deep pupils.
That 1 Giral.’
Even if you regret it, the water has already been spilled.
I bit my lip softly.
I was sorry for the death of the god dragon, and to put it bluntly, I felt regretful.
This miraculous being who came to his senses with death at hand is an important key to solving the mystery.
‘Dark sky’
There is no way that a divine and wise serpent became a mad beast that slaughter humans for no reason.
There must have been someone’s intervention, and if so, Amcheon, which occupies the top line in the line of dragons in all the current incidents in Moorim, cannot be left out.
“Who and how did you do it?”
A short but full question.
However, the will of the divine dragon that resonated in my head soon after surpassed my expectations.
– Let me see for myself.
,,yes? ，，
To my question, the receiving dragon blinked his eyes instead of answering.
Seruk.
A blue liquid pooled in her large pupils. The moment that what everyone called tears slowly slipped on the scales and touched my body, I realized the meaning of what the water dragon said earlier.
belt ring.
– [God Dragon] wants to convey some of his memories to you.
– Acquired [Fragment of Memory].
– The power of [Memory Fragment] leads you to the memory of the beast dragon.
With the system notification ringing in my ears, the water dragon’s tears spread like a curtain and fell in front of my eyes.
Shaaaaa.
With the touch of cool water, the world stopped.
* * *
It was literally a fragment of memory.
Fragments of memories that contain the 500-year-old treasure dragon kept intact, but partly shattered due to the influence of mutation, some parts are blurry and others are clear.
And the beginning of it all is birth
was
– Kuruk?
Somewhere in the deep water of Dongting Lake, a small newborn creature looks around in bewilderment.
A place where aquatic plants sway as if dancing and countless aquatic creatures gather.
Noticing the birth of a divine being, the people rejoice and swim through the current.
It was an auspicious day when the new owner of Dong Dongho was born, and a grand ceremony was held.
– Guruk? dream/
The owner of the new river tilted his head with a curious expression like a puppy and soon started swimming with his small body.
At the same time as he was born, the being endowed with dazzling wisdom and power moved, and numerous creatures followed him and even the river got out of his way.
Chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!
Its body, which was flexible yet powerfully cutting through the Dongting Lake river, gradually increased in size.
Silver on the small, soft pink body
Light scales sprouted, and a long, dignified beard grew under the bridge of his nose.
Perhaps it was from then.
Those who witnessed this divine being, which appears once in a while for decades or even longer, gave it a new name out of respect.
A name I know too.
‘Water God Dragon’
Because of the two horns on its forehead, it was also called the Bicorne Beast, but most of them were reluctant to call this beautiful and mysterious being a beast, and worshiped it as the spirit of the Dongting Tiger.
And the Imoogi, which got a new name from the humans, often did truly divine things.
They rescued sailors who were on the verge of drowning and brought them to uninhabited shores, and used their innate abilities to calm the violent currents.
Is it only It was the water dragon who defeated the evil that once stained the Yangtze River with blood.
After defeating an evil object in the form of a turtle after a fierce fight, the water dragon took control of Dongting Lake and the Yangtze River.
Time is like running water.
After about 500 years passed like that, the Goddess Dragon grew incomparably to the beginning.
He was a good serpent with great power and deep wisdom, and a great ruler who thought of his people.
However, there was one concern even for such a god dragon.
– Huh, the fight never ends in the underworld.
The devastation that the Goddess Dragon had witnessed over the years was truly horrific.
Humans constantly fought against each other, and countless blood and corpses were scattered in the river whenever they did.
When the two empires collapsed and the war ensued, the water dragon was worried and exhausted.
– I’ve already spent a long time in the underworld, but when the hell will I be able to ascend?
Even though people worship Dong Dong Lake as the divine spirit and dragon, in the end, the dragon’s true nature is a serpent that has not yet become a dragon.
For such a divine dragon, the goal of ascending to heaven was determined upon birth.
However, the practice was slow enough to resent Heaven, and enlightenment never came.
In the meantime, the news that a group of fish delivered was enough to arouse the curiosity of the tired water dragon.
– You mean humans appeared? But, it is a place that no one has visited for decades.
An uninvited guest who visited the deepest and most secret place in Dongting Lake, a rough area that has been untouched by people for a long time.
Suddenly curious, the water dragon visited the place he had once used as his residence, and upon arrival realized that something was wrong.
– What… … . /
It wasn’t just the beast dragons of the past that were astonished.
It was the same for me, who is looking at the scene through fragments of memory at this moment.
‘I can’t believe that.’
Something sticky and unpleasant crawls slowly down your spine.
Caught in disbelief, doubt, and a blow to the back of the head, I was dazed.
‘… … gate.’
Undoubtedly. At least I could be sure, having passed through the gate hundreds or thousands of times so far.
The black energy that pours through the cracks in the large rock is definitely magic power. … !, the moment before my eyes became dizzy, and all sorts of swear words resonated in my heart.
If I hadn’t been in the Dragon’s memory right now, if I had been able to speak and move as much as I wanted, I would have destroyed everything around me.
I would have screamed until my throat broke.
‘F*ck, Gate. Magical power!’
My head is about to burst with so many thoughts. A cry that could not be vomited scatters from the tip of the tongue.
With my eyes wide open in astonishment and anger, I stared at the scene unfolding before my eyes.
– Stop! I mean stop!
The owner of the river was blocking the numerous people running towards him with his whole body.
The teeth of fish exposed to demonic
It was sharper than sawtooth, and the scales were all dyed in jet black.
– Please stop!
However, his desperate will didn’t reach the fish that had already been transformed into demonic energy, and the water dragon had to make a really difficult decision.
If the strangely strong and violent fish escaped here, Dongting Lake and the entire Yangtze River would be stained with blood.
Sacrifice was required for the cause.
– … … I’m sorry.
The battle that took place in the deepest waters of Dongting Lake naturally ended with the Susu Dragon’s victory.
However, the Goddess Dragon was not even given a chance to be soaked in grief.
Having lived for hundreds of years, this wise weapon realized what it was supposed to do, and with its own body closed the huge gap through which ominous energy constantly spewed out.
– I don’t know what you are, but it won’t work out the way you want.
Koo Goo Goo Palace!
It was the longest and fiercest battle of all the years of the Goddess Dragon’s life.
During the seven days and nights of intense confrontation, the waters of Dongting Lake and the Yangtze River raged wildly, and people on land feared that the spirits were angry.
And I already knew the outcome of this fight.
– Krrrrrr.
The water dragon, who had lost its dazzling intellect and was corrupted by evil, let out a low cry.
By absorbing most of the magic, he protected his territory and people, but he couldn’t handle all of that power.
A pair of eyes slowly turning red
However, the last remaining grain of reason caused the water dragon to rise above the water.
It was the will of the old Imoogi to find the culprit who committed such a terrible atrocity.
Chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!
On a dark night, the black water of the river parted.
A person sitting on a mossy rock and playing in the water was reflected in the red pupil of the dragon, which soared up as if a dragon had ascended to heaven.
“You feel good. It’s worth coming to a far place
A clear and soft voice, a dazzlingly white neckline.
And a silver hairpin with long black hair twisted up and fixed.
‘… … Red Orchid
What is the name of the person that pops into your head? The whole world around me shattered.
Sign in Mutim
mouth empty?
