Chapter 130
Chapter 130
If this world fell into the hands of the enemies, it would be even more difficult to drive them out.
However, Kang Chan did not have the strength to fight them at that moment.
All Kang Chan could think of was that he had to save them, even if just a little. As many Sword Masters and Sword Expert knights as possible.
“Zikyon, let’s go. We need to buy them time to retreat.”
“A big fight? Alright, let’s entertain them!”
As Zikyon began to transform into a dragon, Kang Chan summoned his Red Rabbit.
Then, Kang Chan’s Zaide, emitting a dazzling silver light, appeared beside Zikyon.
However, Kang Chan, mounted on Zaide, quickly fell into a predicament.
He had forgotten to equip the flight module for Zaide. Without it, Zaide could only fight on the ground, making it impossible to deal with the flying enemies.
“Damn! What should I do?”
While Kang Chan was contemplating, Zikyon, who had just finished transforming, soared into the sky and spoke to Kang Chan.
“I told the youngest, so they’ll be here soon. I’ll go ahead.”
“What, what? The youngest? What do you mean?”
Kang Chan questioned Zikyon, but she had already flown towards the enemies, followed by dragons of various colors.
“What the hell is she talking about?”
“Surely, you don’t mean to say that Zikyon is the youngest?”
“Ah!”
Kang Chan was startled by a soft voice from behind and turned around.
There sat a woman with beautiful silver hair, in a seductive posture.
She was stunningly beautiful.
“Who are you?”
“Who? How dare a mere human speak to me so rudely? If it weren’t for Zikyon’s favor, I would have beheaded you on the spot….”
From the woman’s arrogant attitude, Kang Chan realized she was a dragon. So, the youngest Zikyon mentioned must be…
“Are you the youngest?”
“What? The youngest? Are you done talking?”
The woman, who had been boasting, suddenly lost her temper. She never imagined that she’d hear the dreaded nickname ‘youngest’ from a mere human after thousands of years.
Her name was S. Silpiris.
Currently, the youngest of the dragons except for the hatchlings, this Silver Dragon had about 500 more years to go before reaching Wyrm status. Zikyon had mentioned she would be taken down in one shot by an enemy warship.
“Ah! Let go! Let go!”
“Ah, I’m so angry! Are you looking down on me too? Do I look that easy?”
“Ugh! Let go!”
“I won’t let go! How dare a human!”
“Ah! Seriously!”
Kang Chan grabbed Silpiris’s arms, which were strangling his neck from behind, and pulled her forward with all his might. The strength of a Sword Master easily overpowered her, and she was pulled into the front seat with Kang Chan.
However, the position was so embarrassing that Kang Chan, despite pulling her, blushed and couldn’t open his eyes.
Her head was wedged between Kang Chan’s legs, and her bottom was right in front of his face.
“You perverted bastard! What are you doing to me? Do you think I don’t know the lewd intentions of human men just because I’m a dragon? I’ve lived as a human too! You perverted bastard! Let go! Where are you touching?”
“Stay still!”
Entangled in an embarrassing position in the narrow cockpit, the two wrestled for a while.
But only for a moment. The sound of massive explosions continuously rang out, and their struggle ceased.
Zikyon and the dragons following her had begun their attack.
“The battle has started! This isn’t the time for this! Get back to your seat! Hurry!”
When Kang Chan, exuding an inhuman presence, spoke, Silpiris was momentarily flustered and looked at Kang Chan in an awkward position.
Although young, she was a dragon, yet she felt intimidated by the presence of Sword Master Kang Chan.
“Ugh, okay.”
She slowly straightened her body, stepped over Kang Chan, and moved to the back seat.
But her inconsiderate stepping had crushed Kang Chan’s privates, and he let out a painful groan.
“Ugh!”
“What? Why is it so hard? Are you excited because of me?”
Kang Chan couldn’t respond to her nonchalant remark about his excitement.
It was a physiological reaction he couldn’t control. Blushing, Kang Chan raised his voice to scold her instead.
“I don’t know why you got on here, but stop the nonsense and secure your belt! It’s going to shake a lot!”
At Kang Chan’s words, Silpiris, wanting to retort, found herself grinding her teeth but silently fastened her belt tightly. She clicked her tongue, watching Kang Chan move on the ground.
“You still don’t know why a dragon like me got on this pathetic golem? The reason I’m here is precisely this!”
Silpiris channeled her magic into the crystals attached to her hands and began chanting a spell, giving Kang Chan a surprising experience.
“How! How is this possible?”
The body of the Red Rabbit rose into the sky even though it hadn’t been equipped with a flight module.
[I’ve cast a levitation spell on this Gigantes. However, it’s up to you to control the movements.]
“What? Suddenly?”
Kang Chan was startled and flustered when Silpiris’ voice suddenly echoed in his head.
[How uncouth. You dare to raise your voice at a dragon without even knowing about telepathy? No need for long explanations, just try moving. I’ll assist you.]
“Got it.”
Following her instructions, Kang Chan moved Zaide, and to his amazement, Zaide moved through the air as he wished.
“So that’s what she meant.”
[Drive properly.]
“Don’t worry! I used to be a top-class pilot.”
Kang Chan activated battle mode and unleashed his Aura Blade with all his might. Once again, the enormous 8-meter-long Aura Blade appeared, emitting an awe-inspiring presence.
“Let’s go!”
Kang Chan’s Red Rabbit, armed with the Aura Blade, shot forward to aid the Allied Forces.
Humans, who were on the brink of annihilation, began to cheer at the sudden appearance of the dragons.
After all, the most powerful beings they knew of had come to their aid—no less than ten dragons.
Among the jubilant people was the Saxon Duke.
The figure leading the charge against the enemies was undoubtedly the Ancient Dragon Zikyon, who had once played with him like a toy. Though he had loathed her back then, today, Saxon was incredibly grateful for her presence.
He believed that the group of dragons she had brought along would turn the monstrous steel hulk in the sky into scrap metal in no time.
But that was merely his wish.
Despite Zikyon leading the charge, the dragons struggled against the tremendous attacks from the battleship.
The battleship’s exterior was equipped with hundreds of close-combat heat laser and plasma guns.
Hundreds of cannons continuously fired at the dragons, and small fighters circling the battleship swooped down at incredible speeds, bombarding the dragons with lasers and missiles.
The dragons who had only recently become Wyrms were barely managing to fend off the relentless attacks. Each attack was as powerful as a 9th Circle Hellfire spell.
Only the older Wyrm dragons and Zikyon could switch between offense and defense, launching breath attacks and spells at the massive battleship.
However, the energy barrier surrounding the battleship was tougher than any magical shield they knew of, making it difficult to penetrate.
Even so, Zikyon relentlessly attacked the battleship with her magic.
“Damn it, break already!”
As Zikyon struggled to launch five Hellfire spells at the battleship, the 4,000-year-old Wyrm-level Gold Dragon, A. Aizelion, screamed in pain.
“Graaaah!”
“Aizelion!”
Zikyon called out to Aizelion, but he crashed to the ground, screaming.
His shield had failed to block the main cannon, and it pierced through.
“Graaaah! Damn these bastards!”
Zikyon used spatial movement to dodge the concentrated fire and tried to unleash a desperate breath attack at the top of the battleship.
But before she could, Zikyon experienced a shocking sight. Five massive steel constructs resembling Gigantes aimed powerful beams of light at her.
“What are those things!”
Zikyon had to halt her breath attack to defend against their attack. Their assault seemed extraordinarily formidable.
As their attacks hit her shield, Zikyon couldn’t help but groan.
As expected, each beam was more powerful than a Wyrm-level dragon’s breath.
If it weren’t for her, even Rekracion would have sustained a fatal injury from such a powerful attack.
‘Is this the power of science? I can’t believe it. Not only is the massive battleship challenging, but these steel constructs rivaling dragon strength…’
Zikyon felt a chill run down her spine. For the first time in her life, she began to feel tense.
What beings could possibly dominate ten dragons, including herself?
To her knowledge, only gods and demon kings had such power.
Zikyon felt her scales bristle. But she did not stop her attacks. The screams of her kin echoed around her. They were being overwhelmed by hundreds of fighters moving at speeds too fast to track.
Moreover, they were also being bombarded by the battleship’s attacks.
In Zikyon’s view, this fight was utterly hopeless.
Chewing over her despair, she wildly cast 9th Circle spells to shake off the five Gigantes persistently attacking her.
Her power in dragon form was incomparable to before.
However, even her mighty attacks were in vain.
The speed of the Gigantes was no joke.
It was on a different level from levitation.
The only way to deal with them was to use gravity magic to immobilize and destroy them one by one. But with hundreds of beams continuously pouring from the battleship, there was no time for that.
While Zikyon was struggling against the battleship, Kang Chan and Silpiris flew towards the Saxon Duke.
He was someone who must not die under any circumstances.
As Kang Chan roamed the battlefield, he finally spotted Gigantes bearing the mark of the Helrainer Knights.
They too were being pummeled by the Green Elves and fighters.
The only fortunate thing was that most of the knights were still intact.
Indeed, they were the continent’s greatest knights.
However, the surroundings were littered with destroyed Gigantes, and even those still standing were in a precarious state.
Kang Chan flew towards the Agni of the Saxon Duke, fending off the attacks of the fighters.
“Damn pesky flies! Even here, I have to face these things again. A bad fate indeed.”
-I don’t particularly want to meet them either.
The unmanned fighters that had bothered him during his Red Mars days were still a nuisance.
Annoyed, Kang Chan slashed one of the fighters with his Aura Blade.
The cunning unmanned fighters, seeing this, began to bombard him with missiles from a distance, staying out of his reach.
However, such small missiles couldn’t penetrate Silpiris’ shield, allowing Kang Chan to approach the Saxon Duke leisurely.
The Gigantes of the Visman Empire, frantically defending against enemy attacks, watched warily as Kang Chan’s Red Rabbit approached them from the sky.
It resembled the enemy fighters in both its flight and appearance.
But as Kang Chan’s voice echoed, the Saxon Duke lowered his guard.
『Duke Sachsen!』
『No, this voice, could it be Sir Kang Chan?』
The unexpected voice of Kang Chan left the Saxon Duke in shock.
Kang Chan’s Zaide slowly descended beside Agni.
The Duke then asked.
『Is it really you, Sir Kang Chan?』
『Yes, we can exchange pleasantries later. Time is of the essence. Quickly lead your knights to retreat.』
Though slightly dazed by Kang Chan’s sudden appearance from the sky, the Duke quickly regained his composure and responded to Kang Chan’s words.
『We are doing our best to retreat, but we have no way to evade those monsters flying in the sky.』
『I will handle them. So please, take as many knights as you can and retreat towards the Elves’ Forest.』
