Chapter 209

Chapter 209

Volkan riding the Bone Wyvern began flapping its wings.

Crackle-!

A bolt of lightning followed it.

It was Adonis.

'You think I'll let you get away!'

The reason he didn't attack the defenseless Volkan and had a conversation instead.

It was because of 'information'.

Because if he captured the high-ranking Black Mage, he could find out quite a lot of information.

From how he received his authority to the authorities of the other Four Heavenly Kings and their goals.

He could find out various information.

'Now that the strongest trump card, Crowley, has disappeared, I thought he had no more hidden cards, but...!'

Not only summoning the Bone Dragon but also running away.

'He's certainly not an ordinary guy. I have to kill him here.'

Crackle-!

Adonis, who landed on the tail of the Bone Wyvern, transformed into lightning again.

The spear he threw while flying at the same speed touched the back of Volkan's head.

It was so fast that Volkan couldn't react. But...

Clatter-.

At the end of the spear Adonis retrieved, there was only a skull with a hole in it dangling.

Even Adonis, who had been through all sorts of battles, couldn't help but stick out his tongue this time.

'Does this mean the one who was talking to us from the beginning was a skeleton...!'

The sight of him standing blankly in front of Crowley's collapsed skeleton.

The conversation that sounded like wailing and the strong mana contained within it.

It was only natural for Adonis to think that the guy he was chasing now was Volkan.

"...!"

At that moment, multiple mana were detected by Adonis's senses.

Adonis turned around and could see.

Clack clack clack clack-!

Dozens of Bone Wyverns taking off. And the figure of a silhouette riding on top of them.

'Do I have to find the real one among them...!'

Crackle-!

Golden lightning decorated the sky.

One, two, three, four, five, six.

"Tsk!"

The Bone Wyverns Adonis succeeded in killing were only six.

The silhouettes riding on top of them were all skeletons.

'They're spreading out in all directions quite beautifully.'

Even the world-renowned Adonis couldn't fly if he had nowhere to step on.

Now that the distance between the Bone Wyverns had widened, further pursuit was reckless.

"...Remarkable."

It was surprising that he had that much mana left in the late stage of the battle, but it was even more surprising that he had hidden the Bone Wyverns until the end.

If those Bone Wyverns had been deployed in the battle, the subjugation force, except for Elester, Caron, Lucia, and himself, would have been annihilated long ago.

Moreover, Volkan had even been chased by Caron.

Even in such a situation, he tightly hid the trump card called Bone Wyvern and kept enough strength to run away.

'He knows his own worth well.'

Although an enemy, he was someone he had no choice but to acknowledge.

He was truly a remarkable guy. However.

"The same goes for this side."

One of the Bone Wyverns flying in the opposite direction.

Sensing the energy of another 'remarkable guy' there, Adonis immediately kicked the ground.

Crack!

Crowley's bones broke with a good sound.

Adonis, who had infused mana into his hand, began to shape the bones.

Clack clack clack-!

"Hah!"

As Adonis blew air with his mouth, bone powder scattered.

Crowley's bones had already been transformed into a spear. This took less than 10 seconds.

'Well, it's hard to call it a proper spear since I only roughly adjusted the center of gravity...'

But it's not a problem to throw it. Adonis immediately took a stance.

A stance to throw the spear. It was a javelin throwing stance.

'I'll draw the attention here. The finish...'

Kaboom-!

"Caron, I'll leave it to you."

The spear made from Crowley's bones.

The spear flew straight towards a certain Bone Wyvern.

Swooosh-!

"Hmm?"

Volkan had no choice but to hold his head.

Not only was the durability of the Bone Armor scraping the bottom due to the previous battle, but the distance from Caron was also not much.

In the end, Volkan had no choice but to use one of his hidden moves.

A power that could only be used once a year, but it wasn't the time to be stingy.

"Deprive my enemy of their senses!"

In Volkan's right hand was a pitch-black magic stone.

It was a magic stone imbued with the power of mystery (god?) that could not be explained by theory or science.

The pitch-black light seeped out from there and enveloped Caron's entire body.

Sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch.

The power to temporarily deprive the opponent of their five senses, 'Veil of Darkness'.

Caron had no choice but to be momentarily startled.

Because he couldn't see, hear, or feel anything.

It felt like he was floating in darkness.

'...Dangerous.'

Caron could immediately realize the terror of this technique.

It didn't matter whether his attacks worked or not.

The biggest problem was that if the opponent attempted an attack, it was impossible to deal with it.

Caron bit his tongue lightly.

'I can't even feel pain. When the duration of this technique ends, I might already be lying on the ground.'

Crawling on the ground. Without even knowing that his arms and legs had been cut off.

He didn't want to die, but he didn't want to show such a sight either.

Especially not in front of that bastard who killed his subordinates.

'I'll bet on it!'

Blades soared from the daggers he was holding in both hands.

The location of Volkan he had last confirmed.

Caron advanced towards that spot and began to swing his arms like crazy.

He had no way of knowing if he was swinging properly, what he was cutting, or if his arms and legs were still attached. But.

'Since I'm defending and attacking in all directions at the same time, even if I take some damage, I won't die.'

It was as Caron thought.

Seeing Caron gradually approaching him, Volkan had no choice but to panic.

'It's clear that the power of mystery worked. But how...!'

He made the bones of the Bone Armor sharper and used Bone Spear to attack, but he couldn't stop Caron's advance.

In the end, Volkan had no choice but to choose his last plan.

It was none other than.

'Escape'.

He called a Bone Wyvern gliding nearby and mounted it.

He didn't even bid farewell to Caron.

Because now there was no means left to protect him.

Grasping his left arm that was still burning, Volkan grimaced.

"Caron... Just you wait."

The day he returns.

"I will grant death to everything you cherish and to the Empire!"

With that, the Bone Wyvern carrying Volkan flew far away.

Lucia and Elester looked down at the Bone Dragon.

Currently, the Bone Dragon was striving to pull its body out of the underground.

Because its body was so huge, it wasn't easy to pull it out.

However.

The heavy and gigantic bones. The wings no less than that.

The ominous dark purple mana that caught the eye even more.

It was explosive and destructive.

To the extent that Lucia's body trembled slightly.

"...I never thought I would see a dragon in real life. During the Great War, were there really things like that?"

"If you read the history books, you would know. There were four dragons on the human alliance army's side. That thing was so wicked that it was hated even by them. Well, thanks to that, we were able to gain an advantage in the fight against Crowley."

The Black Dragon Drakan, who sided with the Legion Commander's side, saying it would be fun.

To stop him, four dragons participated in the Great War.

Without them, the human alliance army might have been defeated in the fight against Crowley.

"Since they all died in that war... now there are no dragons to punish that thing."

"That's right."

"That thing can't fly, right? It doesn't have a single piece of flesh on its wings, let alone feathers."

"It will be possible. Didn't we just see the Bone Wyverns flying well?"

"...Right. That's true."

Lucia fell into thought.

Elester could easily figure out what she was contemplating.

'Whether to retreat or fight the Bone Dragon. That's what she's thinking about.'
