At the end of a journey that seems to rise from the bottom of hell to the ground, is the final gateway. The dragon was holding on like a crest guarding the boundaries of the earth and hell, and it could not end this madness and chaos without defeating him.
Albrecht's group makes a nauseating journey pushing the corpses of monsters and demons, and their armor is stained with all sorts of filth and blood. However, their armor was stained, but the courage of the fortitude stood in their eyes.
You torch the golden shield as if you were looking at the radiant courage itself, and the group steps into the place where the dragon is crouching.
Unlike the other passageways, there is no end to the height and width, and the massive ten rungs that you saw below continue indefinitely on either side of the group.
In Albrecht's eye-catching vision, I can see a little light emanating from far away. Perhaps an exit leading to another passageway or a room with dragons crouching.
However, even after walking for a long time, the end did not seem to be near at all. I wonder how much longer I could have walked. The surroundings begin to fade.
The group feels an unknown sense of anxiety, but they keep walking. And there was a phenomenon around which there was no rational explanation.
As if you were floating away from this planet into space, a nebulae and a swarm of stars appeared beneath your feet. The surrounding area began to be filled with quietly blazing stars, planets and nebulae. Is it fantasy, or is it magic?
Albrecht simply walks forward, frozen. Albrecht felt like he was walking his dream path, forgetting to go after the next Rosamund, Hroulf, and the flying dragon. Vervantos is already unconscious on his back.
“Is it Kaigerius......? Am I dreaming......? ”
At that moment, from the exit where the light was leaking away, a thick, bashful voice filled the surroundings. Kaigerius? What the hell are you talking about?
The golden shield begins to glow violently, as if broken. I walked for a long time, and my sense of time began to fade. I wonder how much longer I could have walked. Hours, days? Or was it just a few minutes?
Albrecht looks back. I see no one but Rosamund. At that moment, my heart felt clear. First, I quickly grabbed Rosamund's hand.
But still no sign of Hrrolf, Gunnar and Bervantos. Should we go back for him? However, the vast universe unfolds around him, not even the path he came from, but where and how to find what.
Albrecht runs to the exit, holding Rosamund in his arms to get out of this crazy place.
Rosamund closes his eyes and closes Albrecht's neck with both arms, because he seems to be distracted by this strange and beautiful sight.
However, no matter how hard I ran, I could not see the exit coming closer. Albrecht suddenly rises.
Let's see who wins! ’
As if going back in time, or running through the future beyond time, Albrecht kept running with his eyes wide open, feeling a distorted sense of time.
Then, the exit suddenly opened up in front of me, and I left the world of nightmares or fantastic dreams.
And I saw the great and majestic creature, the dragon itself, sitting curled up in a vast, immeasurable cavity that only existed in legend. The scale is almost black and dark.
The dragon covering its wings, shifting its gathering head to look at Albrecht and Rosamund. The giant eye, with its longitudinally torn pupils, was young, perhaps empty.
The dragon stared at Albrecht, without opening his mouth, and spoke in a mesmerized voice that filled this vast space.
“What a pity. Kaigerius, after thousands of years of using the mortal shell, now only the comfort of the last soul remains. My condolences.”
Albrecht was overwhelmed by legend and fantasy giant creatures, but he only breathed hard.
The dragon looked closely at Rosamund in Albrecht's arms this time.
“Indeed, Westard looked up to this point and regretted it. What a remarkable thing. You are the leader of destiny, the master of magic. ”
Albrecht quickly came to his senses as the dragon mentioned his beloved Rosamund.
I don't know why dragons call themselves Kaiserius, but there is something more important.
He slowly put down Rosamund, stepped forward and said,
“Why are you doing this? Why are you twisting the world? ”
At Albrecht's words, the dragon slowly raised its head and looked down at Albrecht from that height.
“Twist the world? It was the three of you who turned the world upside down: Kaigerius, Weska, Zairexius. I'm fixing it. You've lost your memory in the swamp of oblivion, wearing a mortal shell. ”
Albrecht had nothing to say. You're telling me releasing monsters into the world is about fixing the world? Albrecht was frustrated by the dragon's incomprehensible words.
“What does that mean? I'm releasing the monsters. How does that fix the world? Don't you know what would happen if something like that was released to the world? Or are you just not interested? ”
The dragon listens to Albrecht and slowly raises its overwhelming and heavy body to its feet.
He moved his thick, elongated neck and looked at his large head as if he were watching it as if it were in front of Albrecht. After a brief silence, the dragon spoke again.
“Do you really believe that a man named Zairex has united the humans to drive out Orcs and Goblins? Elves and Dwarves abandoned their homes and even dragons fled. Did you think that was possible? ”
What's that supposed to mean? You mean it wasn't? The veil surrounding the secrets of the world slowly walks away from the dragon's words. Albrecht felt anxious for some reason.
The dragon moves its neck again, looking down at Albrecht from up there.
“When a dragon gives up eternal life and has a life unlimited by mortal magic, it has unlimited power in life unlimited. The three of you decided to finish the Great War and fix what was to come and twist the world's axis. You killed Baharius, drove the Orcs to one side, tore the continent apart, and drove the Goblins to the Great Jungle. So far, no matter what you did, it wasn't my business. ”
What the dragon said was the secret of a world the Dwarves didn't even know about. I heard from Bervantos that the Great War broke out because of the Demon Dragon Baharius and that Orcs and Goblins were raging all over the continent.
The dragon's words continued.
“Your brother Zairexius also gained infinite power with mortal magic. However, the nature of your choice would not have been able to fix the situation. So they killed themselves, twisted the world's axis, and banished almost all Orcs, Goblins, and creatures that had been transformed by magic during the war, to the other side of time. I'm reversing the warped axis. ”
Albrecht is speechless. It's a different world. Albrecht, now 20 years old.
But this is what you've been doing for thousands of years now, right? Twisted or twisted, what about the humans, Dwarves, Elves, and other life?
Albrecht is angry. He pointed at the dragon and shouted.
“I don't care how you look at me! But I am human Albrecht! That's irresponsible! What about the living things in this world? ”
“Whether all life dies or the world dies, that's not my concern. Lord of the Sky Mountains, Lord of Explosive Power and Noble Domination, Kaigerius! Just as you have chosen your own nature in your long dreams, I, the Soumcharite, have chosen my own volatile order and uneasy rest! ”
Then the dragon, named Saumkeite, takes a deep breath. Albrecht and Rosamund's hair flew violently towards the dragon.
The dragon's enormous chest rises red and quickly spews out a mighty flame.
Cuahhhh!
I didn't have time to avoid it. Albrecht holds up his shield in front of Rosamund. The shield flickers beyond the golden light, intensely emitting a white and dazzling light and forms a large membrane to block the dragon's flame breath.
Albrecht's hair and circus are strong enough to stop the wind. Rosamund staggers and quickly hugs her with one arm.
After a long breath of flame, the floor rises blazing outside Albrecht's radius.
“Rosamund! Stay away! Shoot the arrows!"
Albrecht ran forward shouting. And jumped up and bravely ran into that giant creature.
Saumkharite opens his mouth and tries to swallow Albrecht. Albrecht swings his axe and cuts the dragon's mouth.
“Rrrrgh!”
The Saumkharite suffered a large cut on his lower jaw that he had never felt before. Albrecht lands and tries to climb up the body of the dragon, but the dragon doesn't seem to mind.
The Soumcharite swings his arm at Albrecht. It's such a big arm, I can't help it. You block it with a golden shield, but Albrecht flies away and crashes into the wall.
Albrecht cracks his bones and twists his intestines, even with a shield. However, that amount of adrenaline poured out and hurled off into the ground without delay.
The arrow Rosamund fired into the dragon's throat.
“Kuaaaak!”
The dragon launched a match as if a human had been stung by a wasp. The dragon turns its head in furious eyes to look for Rosamund. The dragon's eyes see Rosamund far away.
He takes a deep breath to vent back into the flame, and Albrecht rushes up into the dragon's body like a flash of light. Then he stamped the axe.
“Cough! Cough! Knng!”
Just about to burst into flames, the dragon bursts into flames, coughing and agonizing, with axes around its neck. Then you spread your wings to take Albrecht out, making a fuss again.
Albrecht grips his teeth and holds on to the stubborn stones on the dragon's back. Then he kept chopping the axe like crazy.
At that time, Hrrolf and Gunnar come out of the entrance. And unbelievable sights appeared before their eyes.
I was frozen for a moment because I was overwhelmed by the massive body of the legendary dragon, and I noticed Albrecht's axe hanging from the back of the dragon.
Humans were struggling with that magnificent, enormous, overwhelming dragon.
“Brave!”
Hrrolf shouts with his eyes wide open. His head is white and empty, but his trained body moves quickly. Hrrolf lowers his beard and lunges for the dragon.
The dragon stirs up a commotion and hurls a harpoon lined up from a distance, away from it. However, the dragon's hard skin did not penetrate and bounced off.
“Hrrolf! Throw it to the other side! ”
Gunnar shouted in a hurry. Whether he picked up a harpoon on the other side and secured it to the wall, he intended to disrupt the dragon's movements. Hrrolf quickly recovers the harpoon as he reads it.
The dragon draws an axe from Albrecht's back, and Rosamund fires an arrow.
I can't shake the Albrecht. I'm thumping against the wall. It seemed like he was about to hit a wall.
Albrecht notices and falls, placing his hand on the spur. Then I cut off the dragon's wings long enough.
Albrecht rolls to the ground, unable to land. I coughed and vomited blood. The dragon shook his head.
“Kuoooooo!”
The Soumcharite is severely injured on the side of his neck and collapses when he reaches one wing with a large cut. I was stuck to the wall by the running inertia.
Albrecht rushes to attack again, but his body does not listen. The user lowers its head in a hurry to check its condition. It wasn't completely incapacitated because it was broken and broken. But I still couldn't help it.
“Avoid!”
Hrrolf urgently strikes Albrecht and lies flat on the floor together. The dragon's tail backs over Albrecht and Hrowlf's head. Albrecht has a cool story. If he'd been hit, he'd be dead.
Gunnar swiftly approaches, accepting several harpoons from Harold, and throws them at the dragon.
The arrow of Rosamund flies out of nowhere. I couldn't adapt to the pain because of what a stupid arrow was.
Hrrolf and Gunnar swiftly wrap themselves around the harpoon and twist the ropes.
The Soumcharite tries to get up, but some of the ropes snap and others become tangled and unable to move properly.
Once more, he breathes his breath into the fire, and Albrecht flies before his eyes. I was just stunned, watching death fly towards me.
Albrecht grabs the axe with both hands and slashes the head of the Soumcharite. And Albrecht falls to the ground, losing his axe, losing his strength. I rolled the floor like I was dead.
The Saumcharite's body relaxes, and his massive, heavy body slowly collapses. Then he took out his tongue long and let his head hang down on the ground.
Albrecht rises to his feet, staggering toward the head of the Soumcharite. Rosamund, Hroulf and Gunnar hurriedly jumped in and resurrected Albrecht.
Albrecht stands in front of the gatherer's head and looks him in the eye. Soon, the light of life seemed to be extinguished.
“The axis of the world is already in place...... You just postponed it for a moment......”
Then the pupils were loosened and completely dead. Albrecht gazes upon the corpse of a magnificent, enormous creature that had been in legend for a long time.
Without a word, Hrrolf sets his foot on the dragon's head and pulls out the axe from his head with both hands. Dragon blood flows through the blade of the axe.
“I'll hold it. Mercenary.”
Albrecht hears that and just faints. Rosamund hurriedly supported his husband, the mercenary and Albrecht.
