chapter 486
486 – The morning is bright
The dragon is the most powerful creature and supreme being on earth.
In other words, dragon tribe.
Although the number of objects is not very large,
They were a special race in their very existence.
Because of its powerful power and long lifespan, it has long been revered as a divine being on the Drango continent. It was treated like the top of the food chain and an apex predator.
A living god, not even an incarnation of God.
Their personalities were mostly arrogant,
However, he did not often behave like a tyrant.
Instead of being revered by everyone, they were the ones who protected the peace of the continent.
That’s because the dragon had no one he could call a natural enemy. Unless it was a fight between dragons of the same species, the death of a dragon due to someone else’s will was almost impossible.
There is only one thing the dragons are afraid of.
Detronos, the demon dragon who is the master of darkness.
Although he was of the same race, he was a mutant who exuded a different energy.
Detronos’ ambition could not be easily stopped even with many dragons clinging to him. To the point where I was only able to successfully seal it after making many sacrifices in the past.
Everyone used to predict that if the Demon Dragon was released from its seal in the future, it would be absolutely unstoppable. Because the original ancestors also had a really difficult time sealing it.
ㅡUgh..! Kugung… … !
But now, something that seemed impossible was actually happening.
So, something strange was happening.
A huge dragon falls to the ground.
By humans, a short-lived species that cannot live beyond 100 years at best.
The human male cut off the horn of the black dragon in front of him. With a small dagger without a blade.
Of course, the human who cut off the horn was by no means an ordinary being… … .
『Kuga God-?! My horn.. got cut off again──!?!?』
Detronos screamed at this.
In a voice of complete disbelief.
His eyes were focused on his huge single horn lying in the snow.
The same thing happened a long time ago.
Before his body was sealed in the tower,
One horn was once cut off by a breeder’s blade imbued with the power of dawn.
It was like that.
For a demonic dragon, horns come second to vital points.
Just as the horns of Eros are sensitive,
Detronus’ horn is also more sensitive than any other organ and has played a more important role. Even more so than Dragon Heart.
As expected, his horn was an organ that absorbed and accumulated the power of darkness, that is, magical energy.
To put it simply, it was similar to an antenna extending outward. Is this an organ optimized for absorbing demonic energy from moonlight and darkness?
Unlike the heart, its single horn is an important body part that protrudes to the outside, and is also an organ made of bone that is harder than any other mineral.
ㅡPassssssut… !
But now that horn is disappearing.
It was something that seemed like it would never be cut.
It broke very neatly in two.
And that too with a small dagger.
ㅡSrurruk… !
And now it was stuck on the cold ground, gradually turning into black ash and scattering in the air.
“Did you do it..? I never thought this would really be possible… … ?”
The breeder who cut off the demon dragon’s horn with a single knife mutters softly. With a face of disbelief even to oneself.
ㅡUgh… !
The dagger in his hand still flickered with a blade made of blue light.
As expected, in order to cut off Detronos’ horns, the power of dawn or lightning, which is compatible with the power of demons, was essential.
In the past, with the power of Sotero, the ancestor of the Dawn.
Currently, not only the power of dawn and lightning,
I was able to cut it off with the Mana Blade, which contained everyone’s power.
In other words, it was able to properly cut off the dragon’s vital area, which is often the equivalent of a dragon’s evil.
『It can’t be like this..! How was this body built over 500 years? … !?』
ㅡPasssssss… … .
It wasn’t just the single horn that was disappearing.
The body of the demon dragon with its horn cut off also disappeared.
All the accumulated strength is drained away,
Even his own existence was being erased from this world.
The gigantic body of the demon dragon slowly flies away in the wind and disappears.
His body, which had somehow withstood the long seal, was fluttering about in vain.
『Kaaah… !! I will blame and curse you! And don’t think this is the end—!!!! Just because morning has come for a while doesn’t mean the darkness in this world will disappear! certainly..! Darkness will surely fall again… … !!!!!』
Detronus cries to the end even as his body disappears in the wind. Surprisingly, the guy’s eyes filled with resentment were not directed at the breeder.
Strangely enough, it was aimed at Derke until the last moment.
“Whoa… … ?”
The guy’s black and yellow eyes look intently at Derke and he tries to smile.
Although he confidently declared that he would definitely come back and take revenge, behind his eyes full of resentment, there was a deep sense of anxiety.
‘ okay..! If the Death Clan has only grown to that level, there will be plenty of time… ! Then, like last time, I can somehow escape from being sealed inside—!’
ㅡSSSSSSSS… … !
Leaving behind only anxious thoughts,
Detronos disappeared without form.
His gigantic body and single horn were all over the place.
Only the marks where they had fallen remained on the pure white snow field.
“Whew, finally… … .”
ㅡSharp!
After confirming the complete disappearance of Detronos, the breeder finally relaxes and falls to the floor.
I only swung the dagger once, but I felt like all the strength in my body was gone.
As expected, he had very little strength left. Because it was a blow that brought out all of one’s strength.
“B-Mr. Breeder… … ?!”
At the same time, Sophia runs to him first. In a voice full of worry.
“Oh, oppa-?!”
“what? mister? Oh, it’s okay… … ?!”
“Hey, albino—!?”
“I can’t believe Yongin collapsed… … ?”
“B-Breeder teacher-?!”
“Ha, perverted teacher… … ?!?!”
“Beginning! “Are you okay?!”
Everyone rushes to his side. Of course, the people who have a deep connection with him… … .
“Oh my, Breeder?”
“The original being fell… ?! principal? Shall we reopen the portal back to the academy?”
“Wait! “Let’s first look at the breeder’s condition and then make a decision!”
Even the academy’s principal and vice principal rushed to him, worried about his physical condition.
「Nyorolong… ?!
「Norung? Nyorurung-!!”
The black/white dragon, which had maintained the martial dragon’s huge body, also returned to its ghost form and continued to hover around him. It was pacing around its owner like an anxious puppy.
“Cough! Oh, everyone… … .”
The breeder, lying on Sophia’s lap, lifts his eyelids with difficulty.
There were no major problems with his health.
I was just exhausted for a while.
The reason was that a lot of power was used at once.
Still, I still had enough stamina to barely maintain my sanity.
“Ah… thank god! As expected, you are safe! “Do you know how worried I was when you suddenly collapsed?”
“Sophia? sorry. I told you not to worry, but then I made you worry… … .”
“are you okay. I’m really glad you’re safe… … !”
ㅡCome on… !
After confirming that he was in better shape than expected, Sophia bent down and buried his face in her chest.
“Ahh..! Death dragon that Derke wants to hug too!”
“Ah? The beginning..! I, too, will hug you… !”
“As expected of you, uncle! You’re fine?! The little ones out there, stay out for a while! Seniors come first!?”
“How what? “I can’t lose either!?”
“Even Leylin… ? “I can’t lose this!”
“Oh, no-!? Also, we can’t lose players to our seniors… … !”
Everyone follows Sophia and rushes to the breeder as if competing. Everyone was that worried about the breeder.
Everyone wanted to be held in his arms and enjoy the feeling of relief.
“Seo, seniors..? Everyone, calm down! If you rushed at me like that, Mr. Heojeop…! “You really think I might faint?!”
Meanwhile, there was an exception.
Surprisingly, Eros was calm.
Instead of rushing in recklessly, he was stopping everyone.
So that the breeder doesn’t lose his mind again.
*
I really thought I was going to die.
‘I really thought I was going to collapse… … .’
Earlier, I thought he was suffocating to death not because of the demon dragon, but because he was buried in everyone’s chest.
Still, I was just happy.
Because it was proof that he was still alive.
Because they were able to defeat the demon dragon without anyone getting hurt.
This was all thanks to past breeders.
If it weren’t for him, I would have had a hard time.
It must have taken all day just to figure out how to get rid of it.
‘Why should I attribute it to anyone? Now he is born and I am brethren… … .’
He really handed over only his knowledge and memories to me and disappeared. If it weren’t for his memory, I would have missed the Demon Dragon in vain.
“… “You probably collapsed around this time, right?”
Currently, I have regained some strength thanks to Sophia’s purification.
ㅡJump, bump… !
My physical strength had returned to the point where I could walk.
“It should be around here… … .”
I was looking at the spot where Detronus’s single horn fell. Just because I cut off its horn earlier, it wasn’t over yet.
Just like the original breeder did, he had to be sealed away.
-Tuk… !
“Oh, it’s here!”
I found a large bead resembling a black pearl in the snow.
“Mr Breeder… ? What is that? Could it be the Demon Dragon’s Dragon Heart?”
Sophia, who was watching next to me in case I fell again, asks a question. With her pregnant body, she seemed ready to rush in at any moment to support me.
“I can smell that bad dragon! It’s also a condensation of some kind of terrifying energy… … .”
Derke, who was standing on the other side, intervenes. He is also a guy with good instincts.
“Well, it’s just as Derke said. This is the core of the demon dragon. “We have to seal this.”
“The devil’s core?”
“yes. As the demon dragon said earlier, it is difficult to completely extinguish the darkness in this world… … . I tried to get rid of this somehow in the past, but it was impossible. So in the end, they built a tower on top of Mount Desperino that no one could reach and sealed it.”
“Ah..? “So that’s what it was?”
“Don’t worry too much though. “Unless someone has evil intentions and injects magic into it, it’s safe.”
“That’s a relief… … .”
“Bad dragon. I never want to see you again! Those eyes from before… I feel so bad even thinking about it again… !”
Derke shakes his head violently and shouts at my explanation.
I guess it’s because I made eye contact with Detronos at the end.
But that guy… … .
Why did I see Derke at the end?
It seemed like a face that left something to believe in.
‘I guess it’s no big deal. It must have been the last struggle. ‘You’ve sealed it like this in the past, right?’
I struggled to suppress my anxiety and stood up holding the Demon Dragon’s core.
“It’ll be safe for now… … . Let’s go back to the academy first. “I’m going to figure out a way to seal it—”
That was when I was continuing to talk about what I had to do in the future.
“Ahh! Do it… ! Everyone, take a look over there! “It’s already bright morning!”
“… hmm?”
It was just as Derke said.
The sun rises between the mountains in the distance.
The deep, dark dawn has finally passed and the day has dawned.
And at the same time… … .
ㅡTiring!
[As the day dawns, the level of the person you are interacting with increases!]
[Derke (Lv.551 → Lv.1102 / Nothing) – Worship Stage]
