chapter 478
478 – Facing the darkness
The past breeder and the present me merge.
Two consciousnesses reside in one body.
And that too at a fairly advantageous rate for me.
I wondered what would happen if my consciousness was swallowed,
Fortunately, that didn’t happen.
The authority to move the body and the stake in consciousness are mine. So, when I moved over from Hyundai, I took it over as is.
On the other hand, the knowledge and experience I heard in my head belonged to the original being, the breeder.
It was a coexistence of two consciousnesses that might seem confusing at first glance, but that didn’t mean we were in conflict.
This was thanks to the exquisite combination of consciousness and knowledge. Perhaps the breeder within me is fine-tuning these things.
ㅡWiggle, dream!
Before long, my eyes open.
Consciousness finally returned.
My mind comes back like a lie.
My body feels light as if I was newly born.
Just a moment ago, I felt like my head was going to explode,
My body feels light and refreshed, as if it had never been that way.
I felt like I woke up from a long dream.
“… Derke? What on earth happened during that time? “Stop, stop!”
As soon as I opened my eyes, I hugged Derke. I couldn’t help but do that.
For some reason, the guy was covered in tears and snot.
I felt like a child who had lost his mother and father.
Although she was a girl with a nice body,
Seeing things like this, the kid is still a kid.
“Ahhh..! I was wondering what would happen if my brother didn’t wake up… ! Death Yong was so, so scary… … !”
“what? You were scared..? Did something happen while I was down? And what about Sylvian? Why are you alone here… … ???”
As soon as I opened my eyes, I was filled with things I couldn’t understand.
It was deep dawn when I opened my eyes.
It’s dark everywhere, like a cave.
Thanks to Derke’s eye light, it wasn’t that he couldn’t see it at all. Only Derke’s silhouette is barely visible.
How deep was the night before the moon even rose? It was a very dark dawn.
“Bar, outside… … .”
“huh? “Outside?”
“The Death Dragon is full of monsters outside… ! Bad dragons and monsters are surrounding my house… … !”
“what… ? Oh, a monster? “They’ve already arrived!?”
“yes..! And Sylvian went out to protect us! I will stop those who come through the cracks in the barrier… … .”
“ha? That’s why it was so dark outside… … ?”
I immediately turned my gaze to the window.
The scenery outside the window was less dark.
Because the bright red moonlight seeped through the narrow gap in the barrier made up of harsh snowstorms.
“Kiheeeeeeek——!”
It wasn’t just moonlight that came through the crack.
Black monsters were also coming in.
After changing the shape of the body into a shadow,
They were squeezing through the narrow barrier.
It feels like I’m watching a scene from a horror movie.
ㅡSuddenly… !
-Tuk!
「The size is amazing… … !?!?
But their entry was not easy at all.
As soon as I step inside, my hair gets knocked off by something sharp.
Absolutely murderous.
It’s over in the blink of an eye.
After that, the same scene happens repeatedly.
The giant heads of the monsters fall to the ground like chestnuts.
“… “Is that Sylvian?”
“That’s right… !”
It was like that.
Sylvian was defending the mansion alone.
With movements faster than a snowstorm.
It flies around the mansion mercilessly cutting down intruders.
Thanks to that, monsters could never come inside. Like an insect trap, the moment I stepped inside, the hairs snapped off and flew away.
“Sylvian… … .”
Because of its fast flight speed, all I can see is its afterimage.
My heart becomes heavy when I see this scene. Haven’t you been fighting a lonely battle alone, waiting for me, who doesn’t know when I’ll wake up?
I don’t think I can sit still any longer.
I have to go out and help Sylvian.
Into this body all power and knowledge have returned.
***
It had been less than an hour since Detronus’ army arrived in the north.
The place where sunlight did not reach was almost his territory. That meant that he could step into a place stained with darkness whenever he wanted.
The moment he surrenders himself to the darkness,
It becomes possible to move at incredible speeds.
It was capable of reaching speeds much faster than flying.
The movement speed of Detronos, who was integrated with darkness, surpassed Sylvian. That’s why we were able to reach the north before the night was over.
“I heard a foul smell, so I followed him and… … . Who would have thought they would have built a nest in a place like this? It’s like a disgusting clan of death… … .”
Detronos whispers quietly from high in the sky.
By replacing the magic power absorbed from the moon with magical energy.
ㅡDrag, drag, drag… … !!!
「Kihehehehe… … !」
「Kikigit-!!!」
That demon energy created the birth of a monster.
Because he needed a long-term horse to replace him.
More precisely, a scapegoat was needed.
A puppet that will endure even death and act.
As expected, Detronos was still incomplete. Because we made a fuss in the Lightning Clan territory just now.
Even though he was trying to find Rayleigh, he only ruined the rare rare.
If he had recovered the eyeballs planted in the Lightning Clan as he had planned, he would not have left everything to the monsters like this.
“
Shit..! “If only the eyeballs were recovered, this body would come forward and devour the world—!!!”
ㅡGrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrn … !
-Flash!
Detronos’ roar creates a whirlpool accompanied by thunder and lightning in the night sky.
Although all strength has not yet returned,
The demon dragon was, after all, a demon dragon.
As he raises his power, heaven and earth tremble.
ㅡGogogogogogogogogo… … !!!!!
He planned to create a huge whirlwind and blow up the barrier surrounding the Death Clan mansion.
“ Useless things… ! “How long has it been since I ordered you to break through the barrier, and you’re still struggling?!?!”
“Oh, master of darkness..! If you give me a little more time… … !!!」
“no! We don’t need guys who don’t help anything! “I’ll personally fly it with you!”
「Hey Iik..! Lord of darkness, please fix it… … !!!」
“Shut up! “Your guy has been making noise since a while ago!”
ㅡHwaaa… !!!
「Kkgegegegegeget-!? Lord, my lord… … ?!
When Detronos glares at the monster that was commenting on him, it instantly turns into dust.
Since they were the ones he created,
The power of extinction also belonged to the demon dragon.
He distorts his black face, and his bright yellow eyes radiate murderous energy.
“Well, it’s still good. Did you ever think you’d meet that pretentious human in your immediate vicinity again? Let’s take this opportunity to uproot the seeds of anxiety… … !”
A demonic dragon that suddenly raises its demonic energy even further.
He is imperfect and releases his power unreasonably.
That’s because I didn’t want to leave the breeder alive.
ㅡHwiooo… … !!!
Suddenly the sky distorts.
A sight where the boundary between the ground and the atmosphere has collapsed.
A huge whirlpool bathed in bright red moonlight reminds us of the end of the world.
“Hehehehe, good! This should be enough… … !”
Detronos, who summons a whirlpool filled with darkness and murder.
ㅡKwakwakwakwakwakwakwa!!!!!!
A whirlpool of unbelievable scale slowly moves forward towards the Death Clan mansion. Devouring everything on the ground and in the sky.
If things continued like this, it was obvious that everything, including the barrier, would be swept away and shattered.
That was when the huge whirlpool was about to meet the barrier made of blizzards.
Toukwaang━━────!!!!!
Suddenly, a roar reverberates through the ground, and red-hot flames shoot out toward the whirlpool.
“Hmm!?!? What is this all of a sudden… … ?”
Then, surprisingly, the huge vortex was partially canceled out.
The sudden surge of heat and flames penetrated the inside of the vortex and changed the air current.
That hot flame was not easily extinguished.
It burned even in the face of a strong whirlpool.
Like a tailwind in front of a newly ignited ember, the flames burned with even greater force.
-Help… … !
Flames as hot as lava spread to the surrounding area, gradually disintegrating the huge whirlpool.
“It’s a hit! As expected, it’s your breath… … !”
“Howaaat..?! Joe, be quiet! Eros! “Your location has been discovered!”
It was like that. It was none other than the breath of purgatory emitted from the annihilation gun.
“Kkekekeke..! I wondered what kind of small things they were and they were all gathered there? This too is a good thing! Now that I can take care of all those pesky guys at once… … !”
Detronos turns his gaze to this.
In the direction where the two voices came from.
Everyone was hiding in the bushes there.
Not only Raylin and Eros, but Seirin, Sonya, and even Rayleigh.
It was an inevitable choice because it arrived later than the Demon Dragon. Even so, it was not a situation where he could hastily take on the demon dragon.
But hiding was only for a moment.
I couldn’t stay still any longer.
Because it was a situation where even the breeder could be in danger.
That’s why Leylin couldn’t stand it anymore and suddenly fired the annihilation gun.
This was her independent judgment.
That’s why everyone looked surprised.
As everyone made eye contact with Detronos, they couldn’t help but feel a moment of fear.
“Hey, Leylin! Anyway, what are you going to do if you throw it away in such a flashy way? Even if it wasn’t Eros, your location would have been discovered because of your flames-?!”
“Seniors?! “Albino is dangerous. Is now the time to question such things!?”
『Khahahaha… ! Is this already an internal dispute? good night. First, let’s get along well with you guys… … !!!!』
Detronos lets out a dark laugh after discovering everyone who was hiding. His target changes from breeders to descendants of ancestors.
From his perspective, it was a good thing.
The order wasn’t really important.
Because I planned to deal with everyone someday.
『I like it very much. Are you giving us the opportunity to deal with this all at once? Moreover, the Dawn clan is nowhere to be seen. After all, a short-lived species is a short-lived species… ! Breeder, thanks to your foolish judgment, everyone will be plunged into darkness tonight… … !!!』
ㅡGogogogogogogogo!!!
Detronos is confident of his victory and increases his power.
This time he makes the move himself.
Because the monsters were still breaking through the barrier.
I wanted to finish it as clearly as possible.
『No matter how imperfect my power is, if I can just get the eyeballs of the Lightning clan… … !』
A demon dragon moving its huge wings while glaring at Rayleigh.
It was when he surrendered his body to the darkness and was about to trample everyone in an instant.
“ There, the black midge—!!!!”
『… Hmm? What is this voice?』
“You waited a long time-?! Detronos!”
『Huh? Have you finally gone crazy?』
Suddenly a voice comes from behind.
That’s a pretty triumphant voice too.
As expected, the owner of that voice was none other than the breeder.
“It’s so noisy, why can’t you come here quickly?!” “Your opponent is me—!!!”
『Khahaha! What a foolish guy… ! You removed the barrier yourself and revealed yourself, so you were so excited that you wanted to die?!』
