Chapter 969 – Separation

Charred dragon
Human.
Ghost.
A monster.
Even the gods of the sky couldn’t take their eyes off him.

“…Oh my god.”

All users, including O’Brien, groaned.
Thousands of years have passed since the ancient dragons disappeared from Elyunar.

Only a sub-species called dragons were left in the world, and dragons were something that could only be seen in huge quests.

At least it was the dragon he had seen, and that was the size of a hatchling.
Users had never even seen an adult dragon, let alone an old dragon.

Shocked, O’Brien opened his mouth and looked at the old dragon.

‘There is a dragon ranking table that has been handed down from long ago.’

Among the numerous dragon species, there were dozens of grades that were divided according to the firmness of horns or scales, and whether or not there was breath and peer.

It is said that the ancient dragon is a creature located at the top of the six stages and will never appear in the human world to protect the original world.

The old dragon was regarded as a fantasy existence that one would never see in one’s lifetime.

And the appearance of the old dragon that users saw for the first time in their lives was…

“Beautiful.”

It was the muttering of an unknown person.
Overwhelming fear, awe of the overwhelming creature.
An overwhelming presence that can be seen at a glance, disregarding the rank list.

I was just afraid of the Plague Byeongryong I saw in my fantasy the other day, but I was just looking at that dragon that was raising my body, but for some reason, tears came out.

Tiring!!

Each user heard a slightly different system phrase.

[You witnessed the Black Fever Dragon, Malacia! Experience points are paid!]
[You witnessed the dark dragon Malachia! Experience points are paid!]
[You witnessed Malachia for Guanyin! Experience points are paid!]

There was no time to worry about what that beautiful dragon was called.
The creatures were fascinated by the appearance of Malachia to that extent.

Ghosts added.
They felt resentment and hatred for the Plague Dragon deeply imprinted in their hearts, and new emotions to cover it.

Fear.
The overwhelming fear I felt when dying!!
Not only the freaks who lost their sense, but also the soldiers. Even General Hak Jin-mu could not move with his mouth wide open.

Among them, Eltman, who had the most grudge against the Plague Dragon, opened his mouth.
The past that he tried to forget was coming up in his mind.

Poison gas that suddenly covered the magic bullet a long time ago.
Eltman, who for some reason could run and breathe longer than the others, ran and ran to the outskirts.

Watching the people around you turn into purple or black slime, their flesh flowing in rivers, or their flesh rotting away. Continue.

However, the gate to the castle wall was blocked by a barrier someone had set.
In order to live, they had to climb the walls.
And the residents of Matan… Chose to save Eltman, who was still young.

They gathered in front of the wall and piled them up to the height of the wall, using themselves as a stepping stone.
They became a mountain of corpses and entrusted everything to young Eltman.

Among them was a close friend of Eltman.

The existence that I saw from the top of the castle wall that I reached after climbing the mountain of corpses.

The black abyss that I couldn’t help but feel even though it was clearly far away.
It’s over there.
No.
It burns much more intensely and ominously than then.

“Eug!!”

Eltman gritted his teeth.
His muscles swelled to the limit, and the mana and divine power he had accumulated throughout his life. And even containing the spirit of the king of magic, he put his scythe behind him.

“It’s here!! Dirty Plague Dragon!!!”

The most powerful energy so far was contained in the scythe.

Eltman is a warrior.

He unleashes uncharacteristically violent violence with the skill of a hero who has trained for many years thinking only of killing Malachia.

Aaaaah-!!

The sky and space split apart, releasing an ominous light.
No, I was trying to exhale.

“…?!”

Eltman’s scythe did not move.
I was caught on something…!

Users were also unable to move due to pressure from something.
Soon, a system phrase was heard.

Tring!

[It is affected by gravity manipulation.]
[It is affected by wind manipulation.]
[It is affected by Ryunar manipulation.]
[It is affected by divine power manipulation.]
[It is affected by mana manipulation.]

The phrase rang incessantly.
And huge magic circles embroidered in the sky.
The magic circle in the black sky was like the Milky Way embroidered in the sky.

Users realized.

The old dragon is using magic.
Magic at a level so high that it was incomprehensible was controlling and oppressing everything.

‘Crazy!’

O’Brien broke into a cold sweat.
The old dragon was currently fine-tuning all the ‘rules’ for the world to return to magic.

‘This is rather a reality manipulation power than magic…! It’s something only a god can do!’

O’Brien shuddered that this was magic.
This is magic
A study for non-god creatures to cause miracles!!

“This, Inoooooum…!!”

However, even if he rots, he is a warrior. Even in the midst of being pressured, Eltman shrieked and moved his body and scythe.

However, that’s for a while.

[Ku,aaaaa-!!!!!]

Wooooo!

Malachia howled.
For a moment, the black dragon’s body seemed to turn into complete darkness, but soon the dragon’s mana spread all over the world and turned the world into darkness.

It’s not magic or anything.

“…I heard that the ancient dragons, the dragon fears, each have their own characteristics…”
“You said that it shows not only the original attributes, but also what you have built up.”

Pristan and scholar murmur.
Now the sky has turned to night.
Then, is it night or darkness that Malachia has accumulated?

No.

Sparkle. Sparkle.

Countless shining stars.
This was the universe now.
Each of those stars is the innumerable magic that Malacia has accomplished.

The accumulation of Malachia was comparable to the vast universe.

“Oops…!!”

Eltman completely froze at Malachia’s cry, and in the meantime, Malachia howled once more.

Aaaaah-!!

Magic responded to the call.
The magic circle that fell from the sky like a meteor shower clung to the white fog that flooded the users.

[Oh oh oh…!]

The ghost king, who had been immobilized by survival instincts at the appearance of a dangerous being, reacted to the interference with his powers.
And soon the users were covered in fog.

“Damn!”
“Those with zero stats step back… Huh?”

Players noticed that this terrible fog had no effect.
And in the next moment, I understood that Malachia had ‘interpreted’ this magic and neutralized it.

Yes.
The grotesque phenomenon that even Dre could not ignore or endure was interpreted as magic and knowledge!

[Oh oh oh oh!!]

The Ghost King howled at the top of his voice in anger, and the next moment.

Shuaaaaah-!

[Oh…?]

When a black old dragon appeared in front of him, who was clearly far away, he responded incomprehensible.
It was only Kitz who could see the movement.
Cold sweat runs down the cheeks of the true hero, who is probably the strongest among humans.

Soon.

Ugh. Support support

[Kaak]

Float!!

The ghost king flew far away due to his massive weight and power.
Then, after grabbing the ghost king from the sky and smashing him to the ground, the black dragon, who climbed on top and crushed him, raised his hand.

Charging!! The moment his claws grew even longer, the Ghost King tried to stand up.
However, the speed at which the fist was swung was much faster.

Awesome!

The Ghost King hit his face with claws and rolled on the ground.
The part that was a woman was completely crushed, and the ghost king, who had changed even more hideously, rose while transforming his body into fog.

[AA AA AA-!!]

Tring!

[The Ghost King enters Phase 2!]
[Ghost energy dominates the battlefield!]

At most, the system phrase was heard, but users could not know what the ghost’s energy was.

Because right after the phrase rang, Malachia clenched her claws and fists tightly, and at the same time, something hot swept across the battlefield.

Tring!

[‘Dragon Power’ sweeps the battlefield!]
[Allies’ physical stats increase significantly! The enemy’s stats are drastically reduced!]

And Malachia swung his fist again.

Whoa-!

[Ah.]

Ugh support!!

A hole was punched in the ghost’s face.
The ghost king didn’t die that much, but Malachia hit his torso with his left hand this time. Then, he crushed the ghost king with his heavy body and stretched his snout to the ghost’s face… Wow!

[Kiaaaaagh-!!]

After biting off his head, the Ghost King soon had his head pulled out with incredible force. Woo. Malachia, who had spat out the Ghost King’s head, opened his mouth and looked down at the Ghost King, who had lost his head.

And open his mouth

Oh oh oh

Sphere.

“Breath…!!”

O’Brien was nervous.
The breath fired by the phantasmagoric Malakia was also enough to destroy magic bullets in an instant.
How strong will the breath of the ancient dragon, a real exhaust that is several times stronger now than it was then…?

But. It was a worry that underestimated the old dragon.

What Malakya gathered was the Dragon Breath, but a completely different result unfolded.

Woo woo woo.

The light purple orb that gathered in Malacia’s mouth didn’t feel violent or terrifying at all.
Like a beautiful piece of art or being overwhelmed by Mother Nature… It just gives you the impression that it’s beautiful.

A sphere was shot.
And the condensed breath fits into the ghost king’s body.

Perong!

It exploded with condensed power, just the size of the ghost king, with a rather trivial explosion sound.

[Kis, aaaaa…]

The Ghost King disappeared from the world without even ending his screams.

He disappeared

Tiring!!

[Yeodre’s party member Black Fever (Dark, Guan Yin, Friend) dragon Malacia has subdued the Ghost King!]
[Extraordinary amount of EXP will be paid!!]
[Level has risen!!]
[Team members’ achievement of ‘Destroy the Ghost King’ is recognized!!]

The Ghost King, who easily put users and many rankers in danger, was killed in an instant.
While no one can open their mouths. Another surprise happened.

Dump. Fluffy.

[Ah, aww.”
“Uh heh heh heh.”
“Sal, let me go.”

The natives of Matan, who had turned into monsters, knelt down one by one.
And they trembled and soon prayed to Malachia.

Can’t win.
Resentment was suppressed, and primal fear settled in them.

Malachia glanced around at them, wide open!! Spread its wings

Flutter, flutter.

The high dragon that flew up was looking at Eltman.
With a devastated face, he chewed his lips until he drew blood from the old dragon’s gaze and shouted.

“Everybody, wake up!! Are you going to repeat the destruction again!!”

The magicians all looked at the hero and the king of demons in unison, and Eltman’s scythe pointed towards the sky.

“I am Eltman, the hero of the Cult of Judgment and the lord of magic bullets!! Your resentment and strength!!

Silence for a while.
And the people of the kingdom changed their prayers to Eltman.

Pong. Pong. Pom pom pom.

One by one, the inhabitants of Matan became ghosts resembling goblin fire and flew towards Eltman biting their tails.
Soon, the number increased exponentially, and spirits from all over Matan settled in Eltman’s scythe.

Eltman looked at Malachia with a nervous expression.
Malacia stared at Eltman and said as she approached the palace where he was.

[Apostle of the God of Judgment. Now that I’m out, I won’t have to fight with others anymore.]
“…!!”

Worried that Malakia might launch an attack, he stiffened at the gun-filled voice.

[See you at the palace. I will pay all my karma there.]

Malachia flew straight to the palace.
Eltman was dazed, then gnashed his teeth.

Anger on the face!! Humiliation!!

“How dare you look down on our ghosts!! How can the person who hurt us show sympathy for us!!”

Wooooo!!

Soon, the spirits of all the kingdom’s people gathered at his scythe.
Altman is boom!! With a loud noise, he flew to the palace.

Right after that, wheein. A dark purple barrier appeared around the palace.

“What is that again…?”

O’Brien, who had grasped the barrier with the Observation Perk, answered someone’s muttering.

“…A barrier with restrictions. Very… Powerful, but the effect is hard to understand.”

O’Brien looked at Dre, who was still sitting, then explained.

“No external interference is allowed. The barrier is absurdly strong, but if the barrier is broken, the plague dragon… No, the black fever dragon’s life will be lost.”

Dre lowered his head even more at the words of a barrier that seemed to warn no one to enter.

He’s telling Dre not to come, even taking his own life hostage.

Ah.
Left.
Have left

Malacia is not trying to fight Eltman.
It is to pay the penalty.

He is.
Will die today

Dre’s eyes widened.
Dizzy.
I didn’t feel anything…

Forcibly break in with a cutting sword?
Then Malachia dies.
Also, his determination and remorse would be ignored.
Even if you risk getting hated by him and try to enter, there is no way to break that barrier.

To be precise, there was no way for Dre to break the barrier while removing the rule given by Malachia that his life would disappear.

If it was later, there was a vast difference in the skills of Malachia and Dre, who had been resurrected with almost the power of their prime.

It’s an outsider.
I can’t help it anymore.
Malachia has decided to break up, and Dre has no reason to hold him.

Ah. If you knew it would be like this

“You’ll be fine, right?”
“…”

The world had returned to a pitch-black world that had been shattered by the sky.

Woo woo.

Somewhere away from Dre. A white mist rises from the smoking pipe.
A black shadow dressed in white clothes perched on a rough rock.

Discredit.

“Have you ever regretted that much for the rest of your life after your father died?”
“…That’s right. It was.”

Dre replied weakly.

“It’s a late regret.”
“…That’s right.”

Okay. Regret is always late
No matter how much he regrets it, the fact that he acted recklessly and did not treat him well will remain as a scar for the rest of his life.

And today, the wound will double.

“Ugh…”

Suddenly, an unsightly moan came out.
I managed to swallow my tears by swallowing my throat and endured making even more unsightly sounds… But the despair did not go away.

“…Why me.”

Do you always regret later?

“It’s just for fun.”

Is it impossible to find kind consolation that is not the truth even at this time?

As anyone would have thought, Dre was grateful for that brutal truth.
Because you can hate yourself as much as you want.

Woo woo woo woo.

The disgrace emitted fog again.
He didn’t seem to care if Malachia left or not.
I know that Mangshin is originally that kind of guy.
Dre couldn’t say anything to him.

Malachia is lost.
So, will I lose my disgrace someday?

I am…

“Little boy.”
“…”

Instead of Dre not answering, the embarrassment looked up at the sky that was dug up like an eggshell and said.

“Maybe-“

The disgrace said something.
Dre turned his head.
That expression was not visible.
