Chapter 197

< Carina Dragonia(2) >

The connection with the gods has been lost..

This was the first thing the Northern Army recognized after coming to this world..

"Your Excellency, your connection with the gods······."

"Some sexual techniques can be used, but the level depends on the remaining amount in the body.."

The people of Lionheart, the knights, are people who have served God since birth and enjoyed their miracles as part of their daily lives..

Who could have predicted the sense of loss they felt when they realized that their connection with God was lost?.

Even Karina couldn't hide her disappointment at the divinity that she couldn't feel right now. the gods──

"Don't forget what we have to do. We chased them all the way here for revenge.."

Karina dispersed the darkness that surrounded them with her vast holy power. As a Holy Grail Knight, her vessel still has overflowing sacred power..

I don't know if this will remain until the demons and Prince Kangyok are defeated.──

[Yes, the fence of sacred power that protected you is disappearing, and even the last remnants are disappearing..]

The Dragon King, who had been writhing in the hearts of past great dukes for a very long time, did not miss this..

* * * *

[Wow!···!]

The fight against Prince Gangyok and his legion was fierce, but ultimately ended in victory for Karina and her legion..

"Oh, great perch! Grand Duke Karina cut off Grand Duke Gangyok's head.!"

"Victory! Dragonia's, Lionheart's victory!!"

"Glory to Ventasis!!"

Although there were many sacrifices, they were able to annihilate Prince Gangyok and his legions. Hereby······.

"Reduction, sir! The queen will be happy too.!"

Delbosque, the archduke's long-time butler, lay down in tears in front of Carina..

The great war against the devil caused the loss of many precious people..

Many knights lost their lives to Malus, the Lord of Chaos who was summoned by the emperor of the empire by sacrificing 3 million people, and the entire continent was in the hands of demon princes such as Grand Duke Gangnyok, Grand Duke Corruption, Grand Duke Slaughter, Grand Duke Glacier, and Grand Duke Wisdom. I was trampled.

After so many deaths, he finally succeeded in getting revenge..

"Now... we have to find a way to get back to Lionheart.······."

Lionheart King, what happened to his father? Did the kingdom eventually fall??

It's not that they can't guess what will happen after they leave. That's why he abandoned the alliance and came to another world to fight Prince Kangyok..

What if Lionheart has already been destroyed by the demons?······.

'The next revenge is just beginning.'

On that day, when they swore to sacrifice their souls to Ventasis, all northerners swore to burn themselves in vengeance..

Even the last one will destroy evil..

"Gather your troops. Finding a way back is next.."

I was just getting tired after a long fight. After a short rest, I'll have to head back to Lionheart..

-Wow!!

It was then. Enemy forces appeared from behind. The patrolmen reported.

"dismissal! It's an enemy attack!"

"Are they the remnants of the devils??"

"no. This is the banner of the Seven Kingdoms! They betrayed us!"

"······."

After annihilating the Demon Grand Duke's legions, the seven kingdoms of this world all betrayed Karina and the Northern Army..

Surprisingly, the northern army was not concerned about this betrayal, because the honor of the nobility and the nobility of the king were completely natural to them..

This does not mean that the possibility of betrayal itself was ignored. It's just that, no way... no way, I just never imagined that we would unite this much..

Those who have lived with faith, honor, and nobility can, in a sense, be said to be flowers in a greenhouse..

-Sir Gaspard!

-Protect His Excellency the Grand Duke!

Falling down one by one.

The Northern Army, exhausted from the clash with the Demon Grand Duke's Army, gradually collapsed in front of a large army of 850,000 men..

After moving to this world, I used up all of my remaining holy power, and the same goes for Karina..

The reason Karina remains inactive is thanks to the dragon's heart, a powerful artifact that produces magical power on its own..

'It's dangerous. If you continue to use the dragon's magic like this,······.'

Even so, he was already using the Dragon's Heart well beyond its optimal maintenance period. It is also a period that takes into account the purification effect caused by sacred power..

However, the holy power was already depleted, and Karina was only filled with the dragon's overflowing magic power. If we continue like this, Yonghwa cannot be avoided..

but.

"I take the lead. Take cover."

"dismissal!?"

After hesitating, Karina abused her vast magical power instead of her holy power. Enemy soldiers who met her gaze died on the spot, and the magic power contained in the sword she swung swept through her entire unit..

Even though she only uses the magic power overflowing from the dragon's heart, the battlefield is overwhelmed by her alone..

So how could you not use it? Whenever she overextended herself, hundreds of Northern soldiers preserved her life..

'We need to send them back. To my hometown···!'

That is his duty as the Grand Duke of Dragonia, representing the North. Those who are knighted, those who are noble, must be willing to sacrifice their lives for the free people of this world..

but.

The Northern Army is gradually collapsing, and the Allied Forces are narrowing the siege with overwhelming numbers..

There were too many enemies to turn the situation around with just one person..

"It's over, invaders of the other world.."

"You heretics will all die here.."

The final moment approaches, and the number of remaining Northern troops is only about 1,400. Del Bosque, who assisted Carina until the end, said.

"dismissal. We will buy time. Your Excellency, please at least get out.."

"······."

Karina watched the line of battle collapsing in silence..

Should you have seen this too??

As the one who leads everyone, he ultimately sees his own failure..

That would definitely be sad.

It will be irritating, infuriating, and painful as if your intestines are being torn apart..

How could you endure the pain each time those who believed in you and followed you fell one by one??

"please don't forgive me."

Karina said, thinking of her father who was so far away and even the world he lived in had changed..

"Dragonia. I give you my flesh and soul."

The day Grand Duke Karina became ‘Dragon Emperor Karina’.

The beginning of the dragon legion legend.

The founding myth of Dragonia began with the massacre of 850,000 soldiers from seven kingdoms..

The turning point of a legend.

Karina became the Dragonian Emperor rather than the Grand Duke of Dragonia..

* * * *

"The deal is already over. I handed over my flesh and soul to Dragonia, and in return, Dragonia processed the souls of the northern army into stone.."

Instead of a lost paradise, the dragon's magic created a false paradise..

The reason it was named Jungchon was to send them to a paradise that will one day be rebuilt..

310,000 people. What was the price Karina had to pay to settle the souls of all the Northern soldiers into crystal form?.

"Karina······."

"It was a cheap price. If one person could save 30,000 people."

And that's not a sacrifice.

"It's a responsibility. Just as you did not hesitate because you are the father of all gods and all people,."

Karina, the Grand Duke of Dragonia, has a duty to take responsibility for her 30,000 soldiers..

"It seems like your Majesty wants to take on the dragon's curse for me, but it's already too late.."

"······."

The daughter's soul cannot be saved. Moreover, even that body is no longer hers..

How on earth was my father supposed to react when he heard that?.

"No, it's not too late. It's not too late yet!"

I deny it. Despite the daughter's testimony and the dragon's ridicule, he cannot give up as long as he is the father..

[That's foolish, Lionheart. You already know how reasonable the contract your flesh and blood entered into is.?]

"Shut up···!"

Leon pulled out the holy sword. I swung the holy sword mercilessly towards the black energy flowing out of the evil voice..

-Caen!

However, it was his own daughter who blocked the sword. No, more precisely, the dragon spirit that took over my daughter's body..

"this guy···! Get the hell out of Karina’s body.!"

The blue wall transforms into a red eye with a slit pupil. Dragonia said.

[I gave your daughter what she wanted, and she paid for it. It's not something you can turn around..]

-thud!

The mighty dragon's magical power threw Leon away through the sword. The magical power of a dragon that even the holy sword could not cut down. It takes over space in an instant and takes on magical forms..

-Kwakwakwak!

Each and every one of them is an instant death level magic. Black magic explodes, raising a cloud of dust..

-Hehehe!

A white divine beast escaping from it. Even in the aftermath of the explosion, the Lionheart King's ally escapes with his rider in tow..

[Is it the lineage of the Heavenly Horse? A cocky beast.]

In an instant, dense arrows of magical energy rain down on the divine beast who is trying to close the distance. Each one has high firepower. Even star-iron armor would melt in front of this firepower.──

"Run, Stallion!"

In the face of his ignorant conversational skills, Leon makes an equally reckless attack. Stallion also attacks the rain of magical arrows head-on without any hesitation..

-Kiyiyi!!

[Hmm?]

What was heard at the moment of impact was not the sound of flesh being split, but the sound of a piece of iron being bounced off metal..

At the moment of clash, Dragonia's magic arrow missed Stallion's claw without even damaging it..

Stallion, the god of light. A divine horse of the goddess given to the strongest charger, the Lionheart King. This divine beast that has been with the Lionheart King for hundreds of years of war history can block any attack from the front..

Absolute resistance when attacking. Even dragon magic is no exception to that power..

[They're still annoying power bastards..]

Dragonia generously poured out its vast magical power. Even the fallen dragon's thoughts can recreate its past glory to some extent if it obtains the body of the Holy Grail Knight..

The explosive power of that magical power was enough to astonish everyone watching..

"monster, monster······."

Archmage Cornwall Ong reacted with fear as he protected the audience from the aftermath of the explosion..

Since he is an archmage, he can even know the horror of that dragon's magical power..

That's not a force that humans can deal with..

He could rightly call himself the mortal enemy of the gods..

'How can one survive in the face of such ridiculous destructive power??'

That's why.

"Top left! It passes by!"

The lion-hearted king who pulls the reins and gives instructions. Shinsoo takes action immediately upon the rider's instructions without a 0.1 second delay..

The genius of Stallion, who achieves high-speed movements with advanced horsemanship and outrageous horse power..

Attacks coming from the front rely on resistance to break through, and attacks coming from the side or the sky are avoided within a narrow range..

Dragonia muttered in annoyance at Leon, who was charging and dodging at the same time and gradually throwing threatening jousting spears at him..

[In that case, I will crush you with overwhelming firepower that cannot be avoided..]

A huge magic circle appears behind Karina's back..

dragon language)──

[Leon, avoid it.!]

A dragon that has lost its body and is left with only its soul is its own power. It was so scary that even the gods felt threatened..

<dragon breath>

pouring flames. The wrath of the Dragon King that melts everything. This fire burns even half of the body..

"Jim is a winner. A knight of the gods who leads to victory."

[······?!]

Before the Dragon King's flames reach the Lionheart King, Leon's holy spear catches the flames from the front. And the power at the tip of the spear is······.

Shinbeol &lt;Flame of Battle>

It is the punishment of the war god who controls and focuses all the flames in all directions..

"Jim has hundreds of years of war history and the blessings of all gods. To deal with such a burden is to deal with a world, old lizard.!"

The Dragon King's flames pouring down on the Lion Heart King return as is. Rather, the flame compressed at the tip of the spear is more dense than before..

[You guy···!]

Dragonia immediately used a vast amount of magical energy to create a magical shield. A fleeting moment, a great wall that seems to have compressed a castle..

"I'll give it back!"

And the gods who want to take over it face each other..

The Dragon King poured more magical energy towards the melting magical shield. The vast amount of magical power that seems truly endless can withstand even one's own breath..

but──

A knight is a person who charges.

Get on your horse, gallop, straight and straight.

Just charge and charge as far as the sword and spear can reach.

That's why the article.

The flower of the battlefield that boasts absolute breakthrough power.

-Quaa!

And this man in front of me is the pinnacle of all knights.

knight king.

──?!!

The tip of Leon's spear instantly penetrates the cracked magic shield and reaches Dragonia..

The dragonia swats it away with its sword, but the charge does not end with the collision of the spear tips..

-Hehehe!

If the spear strike fails, the shock of the war horse is the second strike..

The white divine beast showered Dragonia with a shock loaded with incredible breakthrough power, and Karina's body exploded! and jumped out.

[this guy···!]

Dragonia is angry. At that moment, the vast magical power in her body became a shield and absorbed the impact force..

Dragonia immediately tried to sweep away the rider along with this insolent beast, but her slit pupils could not see the rider on the horse..

[where···?!]

When I looked up with an eerie energy, I saw a brilliantly shining holy sword striking me straight down..

[Pfft···!]

Dragonia blocks it with beast-like reflexes. However, as soon as Leon's attack is blocked, he creates a wave of light and breaks Dragonia's stance..

-thud!

-Kwaang···!

Leon pushes ahead. He skillfully brought it to close combat..

"Even though he is the Dragon King, he is ultimately a beast with only high firepower. I guess close combat isn't your specialty. Do you think you can take on Jim with swordsmanship?."

[be impertinent···!]

The dragon is furious and swings his sword, but each time it ends in vain, allowing Leon to approach..

deal with the world.

As if to prove that the statement was by no means a lie..

Little by little, little by little... eventually overwhelming.

'this guy···!'

from now on.

"bring my daughter back···!"

「Fall down, dragon king!···!」

Like the man who once challenged me.

Dragon Slayer Zeke.

Just a lowly mortal wearing tin-can armor..

「What a fool. A dwarf as tall as my fingernails, dared to challenge this dragon king?.」

Even in the face of absolute power differences, the man was indomitable..

Shouting out the meaningless name of God. Forward, and forward. So at some point──

"Dragonia···!"

It's right in front of you, overcoming all obstacles.

'Is it not stopping??'

I can't stop.

Just three hundred years. The history of humans who lived for only 300 years overwhelms the immortal Dragon King..

Yongeon &lt;Wrath of the Slayer Dragon>

Terrible density of magical power. It becomes a huge wave of light and strikes the Lionheart King. but──

<Holy Sword of Polar Light>

The power of the goddess, the owner of all light, is contained in the holy sword..

That holy sword is now a polar light that cuts through even light..

[I see..]

couldn't stop.

In the place where all the waves of power swept away, the Dragon King, who had taken control of the Holy Grail Knight's body, fell to the floor of the duel arena and spoke as he looked at the holy sword that was buried under his chin..

[You are a born warrior. The history of war itself, something that immortals like us don't have..]

I once laughed at.

It was absurd at one time..

He said it was foolish when the gods declared that they would end the age of dragons by using mortals..

But the age of dragons is over, and it is the gods and their knights who are victorious..

The poison that consumed the dragons was none other than their arrogance and the indomitability of mortals..

[Indeed, when it comes to fighting, you are better than me..]

"Bring it back. Karina."

That's why it's stupid.

I shout to force a deal that cannot be reversed to be reversed..

You probably know it yourself. Why are you struggling so much??

They say it is their temperament to challenge the impossible, but the impossible is impossible because it is impossible in the first place..

Carina Dragonia sacrificed herself for the souls of 30,000 Northern troops, and the price has already been paid..

In any case, Karina's soul and body cannot be saved. The reason she wanted to give birth to her children was simply to leave behind descendants for her family called 'Dragonia' before her own existence disappears..

He didn't seem to have any regrets anymore, as he knew that Leon was alive..

"This is not possible, Your Majesty. I made a reasonable deal, and it allowed me to complete my obligations. Don't make my choice meaningless."

"Karina···!"

Karina said while holding onto the owner of the holy sword pointed at me..

"Del Bosque and the 30,000 northerners who followed me, please guide their souls to paradise. That completes my duty.."

"no! That can't be possible! You should bury me, it can never be the other way around.!"

Were you able to make an expression like this?.

Karina smiled bitterly as she looked at the Lionheart King, who had always been upright and strong..

His love, which he was able to sacrifice because he was the king. People. friend. He even himself.

I know now because I took the same steps as him..

Those who shoulder so many responsibilities should not regret it..

But I can't cry either. Because he must always appear unwavering to everyone who looks at his back..

Karina clearly made the right decision to fulfill her duties, but.

Still, I couldn't help but feel sorry for my father who would be left behind..

[Dragonia. Archenemy of our gods.]

At that very moment, the goddess appeared with a form of pure white light. Ariana, who appeared in Leon's halo, spoke to the Dragon King in Karina's heart..

Now they share their situation, which is no different from his..

[A little while ago, the pantheon's agreement was concluded. This is a proposal from the darkness..]

At those words, everyone focused on the goddess's voice. Instinctively, I sense what will be said next and how important the issue is..

the goddess opened her mouth.

[Join the pantheon, Dragonia. We are willing to join you as a community with a shared future..]
