Chapter 374

< dragon child (2) >

At that scene of majestic destruction, the fighting on the battlefield stopped for an instant..

“crazy···.”

“her!”

Amid the swirling dust, the majority of the crowd gazed in fascination at the large mushroom cloud that covered the city..

It was natural for everyone to see such a sight for the first time in their lives..

In this world, the technology for handling gunpowder was extremely crude, and it was nearly impossible to cause such a huge explosion with something like that..

What's more, wasn't that something that happened solely from the energy emitted from one living thing??

‘···Is this really the dragon of legend? It's powerful enough to blow up a city. This is ridiculous..’

General Jeong Cheon, an expert of the Hyeonggyeong who participated in this operation as a member of the Northern Army, the largest military force that controls parts of Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Gansu, narrowed his eyes and stuck out his tongue..

Although he was well aware of the importance of this event as his base was close to Beijing and participated in the battle at the request of Wang Ya, who served him, he was confident and proud of his skills..

It goes without saying that his military power was trained through countless battles and wars..

‘But that... I guess it's impossible. If that thing falls in the middle of an army.’

He glanced at the scimitar in his hand and wiggled his eyebrows..

It is said that a world-class expert who has risen to the top of the world is a one-man army, but most of his abilities come from interpersonal warfare..

It was something I had never even dared to imagine, launching an attack like that that would blow away an entire army..

‘If you cut it from the front... I don't know. As long as I don't get hit directly, I think I can survive the aftermath with my self-defense skills..’

The problem is that in that case, the safety of the military that was with us cannot be guaranteed..

And it was stupid for such an ignorant person to not dodge a concentrated attack and take it from the front..

He strengthened his eyes and looked toward Beijing, where the dust had begun to settle, and he let out a soft sigh..

“Umm.”

The first thing you see is a huge scar left on the ground..

Not only was a huge pit dug where the destruction ray passed, but everything in that section had melted smoothly and was reflecting the light..

‘It's literally a disaster..’

In the face of an attack like that, neither the humane tactics nor the fortress warfare that held out between castles had any meaning..

Since it was an opponent that flew freely in the sky, the means of attack were also determined..

And the same sentiments were felt by the dragons, who were able to clearly see all the scenes from their special seats in the sky..

[Huh.]

[That is···.]

An involuntary exclamation burst from their mouths..

An attack so powerful that even those who have lived for a long time have never seen it before..

It would be easier to bring thunderstorms and storms to a certain area or cause an earthquake, but the destruction of such pure and overwhelming power felt rather unfamiliar..

[Wow, what is he??]

The black dragon, who had been indifferent the entire time he was here, was impressed and began to show active interest..

I didn't expect much since he was much younger than himself and was only a temporary double and not a real yellow dragon, but I was deeply impressed by the sight of him wiping out some of the insect-like humans and monsters that were swarming under the ground..

‘Such a powerful attack! If only we could shoot them in every city that is a nest of humans.···.’

Is there any other fireworks display more spectacular than that?!

Her bright eyes turned to Horus, who was leisurely circling the skies over the battlefield and returning this way..

The eyes of the humans on the ground, the monsters, and the dragons in the sky were all focused on one being..

It was a moment when the overwhelming majesty of the unusual-looking yellow dragon was clearly engraved in everyone's memory..

***

flutter — flutter—

‘Oh my, did I overdo it by showing an impressive appearance?.’

The flapping of my wings, which was normally uneventful, feels heavy..

Since all eyes were focused on him, he tried not to show it as much as possible, but Horus was not in a good condition right now..

A breath of tremendous power that blew away most of a large city with a single shot..

It was neither a Holy Dragon level nor an Old Dragon level, but an ancient dragon—an attack at a level similar to what an ancient dragon would use..

Of course, it's bound to put a strain on your body, right?!

‘Thanks to you, it definitely caught my eye..’

Anyway, it would have been a shame to fight and fight down there in person..

If that's the case, I'll just take a big sip and leave leisurely..

The problem was that it was becoming increasingly difficult to maintain the adult form with “Heart of the Elder Dragon” due to the excessive use of “Limit Break”..

Regardless of his abilities, his body was still just a hatchling..

‘Still not bad. Above all, I discovered the possibility this time..’

Apart from the rapid growth of the body, the growth of the body, for which the only answer was to grow older, was also.

The solution to a chronic problem that had no choice but to be accepted had just been revealed..

‘Although it seems like it will take some time. Ah, more than that, for now we should finish from there first..’

Horus' gaze turned to the battlefield below, especially towards the direction where the demon cultists were concentrated..

Even if you were a demonic cult without blood or tears, there was no way there would be no confusion when your entire rear was blown away by an attack like this..

If it weren't for the existence of strongmen who only follow orders without emotion, they would have already collapsed helplessly..

‘Well, that's over now. Let’s finish it slowly.’

This is enough to show you..

The fatal damage suffered by the demonic cultists will instill a sufficient sense of crisis and alertness in the beings of this world, and that resentment will become a medium that unites them..

The high-ranking undead, including the monster Gangshi, that were consumed in the process were a bit of a waste, but they were not made into awakened people anyway, so it was a trick that could only be used in this world..

Rather than just letting it fall by the wayside, it would be better to use this opportunity to have the maximum impact to burn it down and shake it off..

‘If you care about something in the first place, it turns into shit. Unlike Outerika, it is also a situation where we have to focus more on restoring a world that has already collapsed. There are plenty of alternatives if necessary..’

All related technologies have already been acquired, and the remnants of the Demonic Cult, which will be used to periodically raise awareness, have been kept on leashes in their home base, Cheonsan..

All that remains is the task of rebuilding courage..

“Second Coming of Heavenly Demon Manmaangbok!”

“die!”

“Ugh! Cheonmai!”

About half a day after the battle began.

The war that would determine the fate of this world was coming to an end..

***

“Phew—this is what ended up happening. It's a shame, it's a shame.”

Yeo Mun-cheol, the Demon Sword Demon Emperor, the guardian of the Heavenly Demon Church, let out a low laugh..

The person facing him, Namgoong Woo, a swordsman, opened his mouth with a stern expression..

“This is the end, Yeo Moon-cheol.”

“Cough—!”

Blackened blood poured out from the mouth of the Ghost Sword Demon Emperor, who had both his arms cut off and a sword stuck in his heart..

Even in a situation where blood was flowing from the corner of the mouth, the mockery in one-eyed old eyes did not disappear..

“Hehehe... I never thought I would end up like this because of that thunderstorm. If we had fought properly, the result would have been different, Namgoong Woo..”

“The guy who lost on the battlefield talks a lot. If you're going to say something like that, shouldn't you have been confined to the training ground??”

The fight between the two people that had continued until now was a close fight..

In such a situation, the victory or defeat between them was bound to be greatly influenced by the changed surrounding circumstances..

“Then I'll go help somewhere else, old man..”

the decisive variable.

A young man with a dragon-shaped sword wrapped around his entire body... no, the young man slightly lowered his head and immediately launched himself..

A simple movement like a dragon playing in the clouds.

Glancing at this from the corner of his eye, the Demon Sword Demon Emperor twitched the corner of his mouth and shook his head..

“Phuket — It’s such a young lump of blood that cut off one of the Demon Sword Demon Emperor’s arms! Hwa-kyung in his early twenties? The sky has decided.”

Geomsung also agreed with those words..

I thought my grandson, who reached his peak in his mid-twenties, was a genius, but that man is far beyond my imagination.!

It was the peak when we first met at Shaolin Temple, it was the peak when there was an attack by the demonic cult, and now, when we reunited after a long time, it is Hwagyeong..

Even considering that he was from a different world, his growth rate was unbelievable..

At this level, you can see that the sky has made up its mind to support him..

‘It's as if the next best person in the world has already been appointed..’

The Sword Saint's eyes turned to where the young man was heading..

A strong force in the shape of a dragon shone brightly and swept across the battlefield..

Other people's eyes naturally focused on his location due to his gorgeous yet overwhelming appearance..

Attractive power that draws everyone in.

It wasn't just the quality of nothingness, there was something unknown about him..

‘Is this a young hero who emerged in difficult times?.’

Just infiltrating the enemy camp alone and rescuing the children of the dragon is already meritorious enough..

If it weren't for him, the Demonic Cult's ritual would have been completed during the war, and something might have happened, and even if they had won, all the sacrifices would have been sacrificed, and there would have been no hope left in this land..

However, by standing on the front line like that, he even takes the lead and helps warriors in crisis.···.

“Well, now that I think about it, Soran seems to be very interested in that guy..”

He was thinking deeply, stroking his beard with a serious expression..

Not because she was his granddaughter, but because Nangong Soran's fair complexion was so beautiful that she was even called the best in Anhui..

After all, it is only natural that a hostess who has married into a prestigious family with a long history, such as the Namgung family, would not tolerate it..

Aren’t the Sword Saint’s mother, wife, and daughter-in-law all desperate right now??

The only worry is that he is a person from another world who doesn't know when he will return to his hometown..

‘If you live with affection, it is your hometown. Even if you settle down in this world, the level you have achieved will not go down..’

Also, since I don't have a biological family, I was able to naturally welcome him as my son-in-law..

In addition, there is a child named Jegal Hye-mi who appears to be a strong competitor.···.

After thinking that far, he paused and shook his head..

Anyway, I'm reluctant to welcome other people's misfortune..

“The sound of hair rolling can be heard all the way up here... Wow.!”

Well done—!

“I forgot about you for a moment.”

Freed from his thoughts by the voice of the Ghost Sword Demon Emperor, Sword Saint immediately pulled the sword from his heart and cut off his head..

Since he was an expert in the magic arts, it seemed like he would not die easily from a stab wound to the heart..

To make sure, he blew out the brain with a strong force and completely destroyed the heart and dantian..

“······.”

The moment to put an end to a long, bad relationship.

Geomseong closed his eyes for a moment and lost himself in sentiment, but soon opened his eyes again and flew to another place..

‘Now is not the time to be like this.’

The place where the fiercest fighting takes place on this battlefield..

To the place where the final battle with the Heavenly Demon takes place..

***

The battlefield began to tilt rapidly..

The harsh environment of the Demon World was suppressed by the power of the five dragons, and the military inferiority was alleviated by the brave monsters who participated in the war..

Thanks to this, those who were able to catch their breath were able to afford to help others around them, and this rolled like a snowball, affecting the fight between the strongest players on both sides..

The Ghost Sword Demon Emperor passed away at the hands of the Sword Saint, and the Blood Demon Jiangshi was destroyed by Emperor Paecheon..

The fight between the Hwagyeong level no longer required the help of the Sura Blood Zone, and the top level monsters, including Kirin, fell one by one due to the combined efforts of many monsters and warriors..

And all that power started to be projected onto one person..

It was the final boss of this stage, Cheonma..

Kwaaang—!

Kugugoogung Palace—

the heart of the battlefield.

A terrifying battle was taking place with a loud roar..

A series of battles taking place against Inyoung, whose entire body is covered in black energy..

But the majority was not able to win easily..

“···Amitabha Buddha, just in case. It seems that the Heavenly Demon Lord abandoned humanity and became a monster himself..”

The power itself was not that lacking, but some unknown force was constantly giving him strength..

It also played a role in the fact that Shin Gwangma's momentum, which had been holding on at the forefront, had decreased significantly, as if he had used all his strength in the fight so far..

“You're crazy. A person who faces Shinhwa-gyeong turns himself into a jiangshi. What are you thinking??”

“Huh! That was real? I thought they used some kind of demonic evil method. You were crazier than I thought.?”

In the process, the Heavenly Demon did its best to fight back, so even the Heavenly Demon's magical energy could no longer completely cover up the energy of death..

Those who were skeptical and doubtful until now became convinced and expressed astonishment.—.

“···Wow, a lot of people died..”

Meanwhile, Cheonma just looked around and reacted calmly..

There were numerous casualties on both sides, and there were terrible corpses scattered everywhere, and even at this moment, his men were continuing to die, and the entire space was filled with morale, but he seemed not to care at all..

“ah! You said you wonder why I put myself in death?”

It seems like everything is going according to plan..

A monster imitating a living person smiled fiercely..

Now, as if there was no need to hide it, the secretly hidden energy of death began to encroach upon the entire body..

“I got something good recently. Very good.”

Gooooo—

A pitch-black energy burst from his body..

A power that goes beyond pitch black and embraces darkness like an abyss deep underground..

The moment when the unmanned soldiers took a step back and took a defensive stance for vigilance..

[Wait a minute, this energy!]

White Dragon, who was concentrating on fixing the distortion of space, let out an expression of astonishment..

An energy that I had personally experienced in the past was suddenly revealing its presence..

From deep underground in this magical land.

[no way!]

Tam, the great enemy of Geumo-do, who devoured countless dragons with the power of gluttony.).

Baekryong was able to find out that the remains were buried underground in this demonic world..

And the fact that it was connected to the Heavenly Demon and activated.

[Was that the source of his unending power? It must be stopped! When the author uses that power!]

But the white dragon's cry seemed a little late..

Before those who responded to the voice could make any movement, the Heavenly Demon, who had been immersed in the darkness that instantly covered the ground, suddenly appeared outside the expert's siege..

“Okay!”

In his right hand, he is holding the leash of Zhuge Hyemi, one of the dragon children who had retreated to the rear..

“Finally, all conditions are met.”

A land where death is rampant and fraud abounds..

Tam, a predator with a strong presence even in death..

The self who accepted death and became one with it..

“give up your karma.”

A being who, after swallowing up countless karma, eventually even himself was swallowed up by karma..

The Karma Gangsi Cheonma began to absorb the karma of the ‘Dragon Child’.—.

“Whoever wants!”

swag—

With the voice that intervened at that moment.

A sharp cutting sound cut through the space..

“Are you okay, Zhuge Xiaozhe??”

“Cluck, cluck... Ha, ha, Confucius.?”

When did he arrive at the spot, the young hero who hugged Zhuge Hye-mi, who cut off Cheonma's arm and rescued her at a desperate moment, and retreated?.

And the masters of Hyeon-gyeong, who did not miss the moment he had earned, came up in an instant and surrounded Cheonma again, who frowned as he looked down at his severed forearm..

“···You guy. You're disturbing me till the end···!”

As if he had missed a golden opportunity, the dragons floating in the sky approached his head and slowly circled above him, spewing out anger..

Now, I'm glaring at him with wide eyes as if I won't just sit by and watch him no matter what he does..

‘Done.’

The eyes of Horus, the gold dragon caught in the gap, twinkled slightly..

Finally, all the puzzles for the correct ending are in place..
