Chapter 513 – Dragon Who Dreams of Embers -3-
Theodor Spenta, the strongest of the Federal States.
Until the day he was born and was just entering his growth period. On the outside, he was no different from any other Yongin.
At an immature young age, he had small wings and height to match.
However, the specialness within shone through.
Theodor Spenta’s abilities are unparalleled even though he is mixed among the pure-blooded dragons. He was as brilliant as the stars in the sky.
As time passed, Theodore himself could not help but realize that he was special.
The eyes read the shape of the arrowhead fired by the elf, who is called a sharpshooter.
My ears even heard the spirits whispering.
The body is so strong and healthy that it has never suffered from a minor illness, and even if it gets hurt, it becomes fine as long as it eats well and sleeps well.
Muscular strength? Quickness? It only hurt my mouth to say it.
Theodore’s fist is a battering ram that can shatter huge castle walls with a single blow. His nails were sharper than the famous swords of the continent.
The flames he holds are hot enough to melt even steel into molten iron at once, and no blacksmith has ever seen a temperature higher than that.
A unique entity. A distant location.
One day while spending time up there.
The feeling of discomfort came suddenly.
“···?”
It was strange. Even hugging a female is just one-dimensional pleasure and relief.
Even though I ate as much meat as I wanted and drank as much expensive alcohol as I could, it didn’t taste the same as before.
Have your taste buds changed? That’s not it.
The cause is psychological.
Something felt empty. It felt like there was a hole in my chest that couldn’t be filled.
So I looked around to find the cause.
“···.”
I knew then.
Everyone who makes eye contact fixes their gaze on the floor and lowers their head.
I am in awe and look up to you. I am afraid and disappointed.
Now, there is no one in the federal government who is trying to defeat him with the spirit of victory.
‘There is no enemy to fight with.’
No one really wants to clash with themselves.
The loneliness that came from Theodore’s natural inclination and absolute strength without a nemesis was hopeless.
I can no longer taste the special liquor that I drink with my mouth torn after defeating a guy who is trying to attack me.
The real pleasure of holding a female and relieving it with the lingering feeling of crushing a powerful enemy has turned into a mirage.
A moment of awareness. One day when I was struggling in a swamp of boredom.
As if it were the opportunity of a lifetime, war broke out between the Federation and the Empire.
You will be able to meet many famous strongmen in the empire. Theodore regained his vitality.
I headed to the battlefield by flapping my wings faster than anyone else.
I experienced deep disappointment that cut off hope and motivation. What he experienced was terrible mental exhaustion.
‘It was bad. Not these.’
He knew the moment he saw his eyes.
The powerful of the empire do not face themselves. Everyone is seeing the illusions piled up behind me.
The wealth, fame, and power that will follow the moment you cut off my head.
Theodor Spentara extinguished the flame of his life and the safety and survival of the empire that would arise. The fall of the federal state.
‘Please, look at me.’
It was a disgrace. I don’t like fighting with a sense of duty or anything like that. These are people who take orders and swing swords against their will.
They don’t enjoy struggle. It is clearly conveyed that he doesn’t want to do anything and wants to live.
People who give up without finding a solution the moment their nails reach their head. After killing it, there is no refreshing feeling and the aftertaste is bitter.
Eventually Theodore deserted his battlefield. He never wanted to participate again.
Some people say that massacre is fun, but what fun is there in slaughtering and killing things that show their backs and humans that are trembling because they want to run away?
War was not a clear answer in the end.
The goddess who created the world and life was born with this tendency, so how can she not give herself a mortal enemy?
I felt resentful. She felt that her color and temperament were a curse.
‘I want to die.’
Because she could not satisfy her most pressing desires, life itself was a hardship.
That was the time when my emotions and mood swings reached their peak.
All the facts were unbearably painful.
She lived like that and learned to control her emotions and thoughts by facing Vulcan, pouring out her inner thoughts and growing older.
The innate desire piled up under the guise of being relieved by other desires.
Someday.
She believed that one day, someone would appear who would only see her and collide with her. If she doesn’t believe that much, she doesn’t even have the motivation to live.
The day will come when you will feel refreshed after hitting with all your might. My wait will definitely be rewarded.
How many years have I survived with just earnestness?
After waiting, today.
It was the day when the dragon’s wish to use her own body as firewood came true.
··
··
Thud! Thud! Boom!
I can hear sound, but I can’t see anything.
Onlookers follow the traces of dark red electric current and flames that are drawn belatedly. All I had to do was observe the exploding sand in real time.
Wow ───!!!
Theodore was briefly seen rolling, tearing the sand long distances.
The Yongin tribe, who stops moving by burying their limbs, falls down like a wild animal and charges at them by shooting out their bodies like arrows.
In that short moment, I saw all the talented people.
‘···Smiling?’
Literally. Literally.
Theodore was smiling innocently.
He was smiling so brightly that it was hard to believe that he was bleeding.
Qarring!!!
“Ugh…!”
A dark red electric current explodes, a thunderclap rings out, and Theodore falls over, vomiting blood.
The fist stuck in my solar plexus like a knife made me dizzy.
However.
It jumps up before it even stops rolling.
Blood and internal organs flowing back. I’m holding my breath to suppress the pain, but it’s not noticeable on the outside.
That in itself is a tenacity and mental strength that makes Roman admire.
“Whoa…”
Crackling─!
Roman, who is emitting dark red brain energy from his entire body, takes a long breath, takes a stance, and waits.
Roman does not come first. He catches what comes in perfectly and shows the difference in class with his skills.
Quite a few people would have been discouraged by pain and the difference in skill, or their movements would have been filled with fear and hesitation.
But even that doesn’t apply to just these two people.
“Two.”
Theodore could not be swallowed and spit out all the sticky blood and organ chunks in his mouth at once.
I took a deep breath and read the situation.
‘What’s missing? Why doesn’t it fit? A simple difference in skill?’
Currently, the improved strength and speed are such that controlling one’s limbs is itself a miracle.
The moment I lose my mind for a moment, my body feels like it will be eaten by the heat and torn to pieces.
I surpassed my usual self in the first place. Nevertheless, the attack does not reach Roman.
The gap has widened to this extent. What should I do? Is there a way to overcome it?
Ah, yes.
After a short period of thought, I figured it out.
The answer is not far away. The answer was simple.
‘It moves faster.’
If you can’t reach it, increase your speed until you reach it.
Kugugu ───!!!
As I let go of the barely controlling power, the air began to tremble, starting from Theodore.
Puhwaak! The soaring flames create bigger wings and make the whole body flicker with flame.
A fireball with its leash released runs wild all at once, splitting the strong body of the dragon race and creating gold.
There was no hesitation for Theodore when he made his decision.
“Ugh…!”
I am sobbing from the pain. Still, I can still hold on.
It’s okay for the time being. You can fight like this.
Normally, this would be a situation where you would feel despair at the distant wall. Theodore, on the contrary, is being exalted.
I enjoy the present, looking up from the perspective of the weak and seeking a breakthrough.
Contrary to the situation where his life is being eaten away in real time, the current situation gives him the strength to live.
The analysis was being continued not only by Theodore but also by Roman.
‘If you leave it like this, you will die.’
I’m not talking about Roman’s own life. Theodore dies.
The muttering, “Crazy bastard…” Naturally came out.
The most powerful fuel called life is used without restraint. You must know that it is related to the lifeline.
‘Let’s finish it before we get rewarded for no reason.’
It seems like he wants to risk his life to win, but he has no intention of dying or killing.
It is safe to say that I came to tell the federal government about the wedding date, and I told the lovers that it was a couplet.
There is no way I can reduce the number of high-class guests worthy of sincere congratulations with my own hands.
‘···The method is.’
There is a way to stop that crazy behavior before death.
Break consciousness. Sprinkle a lot of spice called satisfaction on it.
What Theodore excels at is his incredible strength and stamina.
I really feel that he likes hitting hard at close range. If you adopt that method, you will never experience defeat.
“Good.”
Pop! Pop! Roman, with his feet buried in the desert, lowered his posture lower than usual.
Show a hand gesture toward the other person to come in.
Willingness not to avoid attack.
“?!”
Theodore, who understood the meaning behind the gesture, widened his eyes as if he found it hard to believe.
And I am convinced.
He raises the corners of his mouth and leans forward.
Kwaang───!!!
One step of Theodore running towards Roman.
The sand rose like a tsunami.
He stretched out his fist at a speed that threatened to tear his skin.
Bang!
Who would think this is the sound of someone hitting with a fist?
Theodore’s attack was successful for the first time.
Roman’s head, where his fist was stuck, turned.
“Haha!!! You crazy person!!!”
I know Roman didn’t intentionally avoid it.
Nevertheless, the taste is thrilling.
“Come!!!”
“Uh.”
Roman puts his chin back in place, his eyes shining, and his fists stretched out.
If the other person welcomes you back, will you avoid it yourself? I didn’t even think about avoiding it.
Coo! Theodore’s back was bent backward after being hit in the face.
This guy’s blows were so spicy that I almost lost my mind.
After using strength to stand up. He raised his fist and struck.
Blood was seen flowing from Roman’s mouth after being hit on the chin.
Roman forces his head down to the sky.
Roman stretched out his hand and grabbed Theodore’s horn.
Thud! He raised his right hand and struck him in the abdomen.
“Knock…!”
The blood I had been holding in poured out, and my body surfaced.
As if you had promised, if you hit one, you get hit again.
To be continued.
They exchange blows at close range until one person is finished.
If you lose strength or show fear of pain, it is the same as losing.
Don’t back down Take one step forward and risk life and death to push the opponent away.
Even if we took a small number, dozens of vehicles were exchanged.
The balance is tilted.
“Kaaah!!!”
Tak.
Roman caught Theodore’s fist with his eyes shining.
Unlike spirit, an attack that has lost all strength.
At the same time, Theodore awoke from his rampage-based trance. It was right before my consciousness collapsed.
When I came to my senses, my legs were shaking.
Cracks opened throughout the body, and heat and mana were flowing out. The real limit has come.
Nevertheless, Roman continued whipping.
“Hey. Try everything you can.”
“···!”
“If you don’t want to regret it, take it all out.”
Theodore’s eyes widened at the sound of Roman’s voice, which did not break even a breath.
Look, it was like a warning not to even dare to think of winning with equal methods.
Permission to show everything you are born with, not just your body.
This will be the last time. I was sure.
Theodore began chanting, his blood flowing from his open mouth.
– The master of fire calls. Let the fire roar without hesitation, let the flames flutter and spread like wildfire, burn sin with the rising fire, and use life as firewood to banish the night.
A chant I used for the first time in my life. I instinctively knew the method.
I’ve never had to use it in my life. I knew it was efficient, but it wasn’t my taste.
‘This airflow…’
In Roman’s opinion, it is not magic, but a power similar to martial arts.
After finishing chanting, Theodore looked Roman in the eye. After saying thank you, all the accumulated flames were released.
– Red Flame Corridor.
Under Roman and Theodore.
A pillar of flashing fire rose.
··
··
A pillar of fire of ridiculous size disappeared.
In between.
Bah!
Theodore fell to the sand after being hit by Roman’s fist.
