Chapter 145: The Eternal Rest in The Eternal Winter

Renatus Lev. 

That was the name of the dragon that Celemnte was fighting. Renatus was the strongest among the dragons. It was no wonder that Clemente was struggling. If I had to argue, Clemente, who was once praised for his wisdom, was not strong in a battle. 

“NOW!”

Soon after the signal, an arrow quickly pierced Renatus’ right eye.

Kieeeekkk—!

Renatus let out a cry of pain and threat. 

Sigren didn’t care and moved forward, then cut Renatus’ leg. 

Renatus quickly lost his balance and stumbled. The blood that flowed from his massive body stained the snow red. 

[Renatus!]

Clemente rushed in and bit his body. 

Bang!

Renatus lost his balance and fell

Grrrr— 

The two dragons started fighting for a while. 

Renatus let out a very high-pitched cry as if he was struggling.

[—!]

It was an indescribably high-pitched cry that gave everyone goosebumps. It was deafening for a moment. And at the same time, the air vibrated strongly. There was a raged vibration. 

I hurriedly let out my mana to block the shock wave, but I couldn’t block it completely. Heilon’s strong men flew like paper dolls.

“Get your act together!”

Clemente raised his head after defending himself with his wings. 

In the meantime, Renatus spread his huge wings. Then he rose rapidly. 

“He runs away! Arrow ready!”

In the midst of a loud cry from Renatus, Clemente spread his wings, chasing the Renatus.

“CLEMENTE!”

Clemente’s red eyes glanced at me. 

I reached out my hand.

“TAKE ME!”

“FIONA!” Sigren exclaimed in surprise when he heard me.

Yeah, I know that it was crazy. But I can’t help it. I looked at Sigren, “I’ll be right back!”

[A brave child.]

Clemente, who uttered that, gently snatched me away. Then soon, strong wind smacked my face.

“….”

Heilon’s mountains moved farther and farther away from my feet.

“Ugh, it’s cold.”

I have never been on a plane, so I never expected myself to fly in the open air. I shuddered for a moment. 

As I looked forward, I saw Renatus running away. 

[Why did you follow me, human?]

“Just think of me as a missile attached to a fighter jet…”

[….?]

Right. There was no way the dragons of this world understood this. 

“I’ll be your weapon, so please follow me request well.”

I’ve come all the way here. If we were to miss Renatus, I would lose a lot.

Renatus seemed to have noticed that we pursued him. He swerved sideways.

[Hold on tight.]

“Clemente, you should be the one who holds me tight—kyaaaaaak!””

Clemente then also swerved sideways. 

The chase in the side continued for a while. 

Renatus, as befitted a dragon skilled in a battle, freely changed his route with his injured body.

And also for a while, I felt like I was turning inside out.

“Clemente! Rise Above Renatus!”

Clemente flew higher at my request. 

While we flew higher than Renatus, I was able to properly see the huge body of Rentus. The dragon, once blue as the sea, had now turned into a dark bluish. 

I saw the wings covered with a huge hard mana shield.

I hope my idea worked out the way I think it would. 

[What are you going to do?]

“I’m going to crash Renatus.”

I hesitated, and asked, “Are you okay with that?”

Clemente’s red eyes narrowed as he was looking at me.

[Do that.]

That was enough. 

I nodded and closed my eyes. I concentrated my mind. A huge mass of mana wriggled between my fingers. 

Bzzztt…

Huge bolts of lightning began to bounce in the air.

Grrrrr…

Renatus let out a low cry and tried to change his flying path after sending a change in the atmosphere. But it was already too late. 

I opened my eyes. 

BANG!!

Huge lightning hit Renatus’ wings directly. The incredibly sturdy body withstood the lightning strike. However, the mana shield that covered the wings could not handle the lightning bolt. 

“Let’s go.”

Clemente understood my intentions. 

As we quickly followed, Renatus forced himself to twist his wings and swerve his way around. The torn and tattered mana shield could not withstand the constant air resistance. His wound was getting bigger and bigger. 

Renatus stumbled. He tried to balance himself, but the huge perforated wings were no longer doing their job.

[it’s over, Renatus.]

Clemente attacked Renatus after a deep sigh.

Kyaaakk—!

Renatus let out a meaningless scream and fell endlessly.

BOOM—!

Finally, the sound of the heavy body of a dragon falling reverberated throughout the Heilon Mountains. 

Clemente slowly circled in the air watching it for a moment, then went down. He landed lightly and carefully put me down. Then, he strongly bit the neck of the fallen Renatus, taking his last breath. The light slowly faded from the blue eyes of Renatus, who was making the final struggles. 

Blink, blink, blink…. The dragon that lived for thousands of years and went mad for hundreds of years was gone just like that. 

[Now, you have your peace, my friend.]

It came to an end with a friendly whisper of an old friend.
