C446 - Zephyrin (2)

Dark and elongated nails sprouted from her fingers as Zephyrin hurled the axe-sword.

Those nails, which pierced through the Black Knight, were Zephyrin's primary means of attack.

The menacing purple demonic energy of the nails was threatening.

Zephyrin leaped forward with a sharp whistle.

She flung her nails at Jin and the others.

Jin blocked Zephyrin's attack with his sword, while Valkas intercepted it with a fist.

The clash of sword, fist, and nails sent sparks and energy fragments flying in all directions.

Using a familiar weapon has a profound impact on anyone. After discarding the axe-sword, Zephyrin's posture and balance improved, and her movements became more agile.

And the opponent who felt the strongest of all that Jin had faced became even stronger.

However, the real issue was that this was not the end.

She was a Dragon.

She had not revealed her true form yet, and her abilities as a "Demon Dragon" remained unknown.

Based on the power she had demonstrated, she was at least a 10-star level by human standards.

Jin came to think that she might rival his father, Cyron Runcandel, the Demigod.

Fortunately, Jin did not feel the absolute power aura transmitted by his father and Battle Goddess Vahn.

Although it was unclear whether it truly did not exist or if he simply could not sense it.

Shack!

Zephyrin dodged Jin and Valkas and charged towards Murakan.

The purple nails pierced through one of Murakan's wings.

The nails went through a wing, and the wing rippled like smoke.

However, Murakan did not waste the moment as she closed in.

In an instant, Murakan's entire body turned into black smoke and enveloped Zephyrin.

While the smoke reshaped into Murakan's form, Zephyrin found herself trapped inside one of Murakan's wings.

It wasn't visible from the outside, but a chaotic vortex of Shadow Energy roared inside the folded wing.

It pierced through Zephyrin's flesh and bones with a chilling sound, creating a gruesome spectacle.

Just like how Murakan had transformed into Shadow Energy to dodge the attack moments ago...

Zephyrin also used demonic energy to evade the assault.

Unlike human battles, combat between dragons had its unique characteristics.

[Well, you seem to be the best Demon Dragon I've encountered so far. Were you holding your breath in fear a thousand years ago? I wonder where you came from.]

The purple smoke dispersed, and Zephyrin reappeared at a certain distance from Murakan.

"Haha, how bold you are. How dare you evaluate me like that? It seems you still don't recognize me, Murakan-nim."

Swish!

This time, a sharp demonic energy extended from Zephyrin's nails and slashed through Murakan's midsection.

Although the Shadow Energy form had dampened the impact...

This type of Shadow Energy expenditure would eventually exhaust Murakan.

"Even if I were dealing with you at your best, I wouldn't be so scared. The reason you don't know me well is that I couldn't fight against you back then."

[You couldn't fight with me?]

"There were some circumstances. You should know them. No, how could you?"

Pshhh!

The Sword of Legends Master Combat Technique, Petal Cascade, fell on Zephyrin's head...

And Valkas unleashed his punch at full force simultaneously.

The subspace distorted due to the lightning and aura energy.

The Cascade crashed into the ground, and the punch broke the empty space.

Zephyrin jumped to avoid the attack, but Murakan lunged like a hawk and released a Dragon's Breath.

The black breath enveloped Zephyrin completely, but even after it dissipated, it seemed she had not taken a significant hit.

However, just before the collision, Jin's thunder blade and Valkas's Secret Technique were ready.

"I think she's the Dragon of the Kinzelo Leader."

"That damn bastard? That might be possible. The authority he showed during the terrorist attack on Sword Emperor Castle was divine."

"...This, Murakan-nim, Twelfth Flagbearer. It seems that this fight may not have an end if it continues."

Jin nodded as Valkas said this.

The Black Knight agonized behind them, and Zephyrin's body regenerated instantly even when twisted and torn.

She showed no signs of fatigue.

"No end? It's much worse than that. We'll never be able to win against that."

Jin and Valkas's eyes widened at Murakan's words.

Jin, in particular, was even more surprised.

He had never imagined that someone as proud as Murakan would so easily accept defeat.

In any case, if Murakan spoke with such conviction, there was only one response.

"We should run."

When Jin said this, Murakan nodded, and Valkas's eyes hesitated for a moment.

This place was the Black King's Mountain, and Valkas valued nothing more than the lives of his subordinates.

Abandoning his subordinates and fleeing was an impossible act.

Valkas believed that if his group fled, Zephyrin would not simply leave the Black King's Mountain.

She had the power to annihilate the Black King's Mountain single-handedly in a matter of moments.

The countless defenses and traps of the Black King's Mountain were meaningless against such a fearsome Dragon.

"I can't run, Murakan-nim."

"I know. Who abandons their children and flees?"

"Then...?"

"I'll hold her off somehow, so you and the brat guide the others to escape. I'll shake her off and meet up with you later."

"Murakan."

"What?"

"Do you think you can handle her alone?"

Of course, neither Jin, nor Valkas, nor Murakan had yet used all their power.

But they couldn't easily defeat Zephyrin even when all three fought together.

It was natural to worry if Murakan could handle her alone.

"Hahah!"

Suddenly, Murakan burst into laughter.

"Even in this state, I've recovered nearly 40% of all my strength. I can handle it even if it were a demon like Demon King Orgal instead of a Dragon."

"I'm not so sure..."

"Don't worry, brat. There's no way I'll be left behind. And, after all, this is the best plan."

Murakan pointed to one side of the subspace as he finished his sentence.

"First, let's break this subspace. You've done this many times; do you know the method?"

Shadow Energy.

First Technique: Soul Cut, and Tess's power.

When it came to cutting unwanted subspace from other worlds, these techniques and powers had never disappointed Jin.

Woo...!

A massive amount of Shadow Energy began to accumulate around Murakan.

Upon release, the entire purple subspace turned black.

As the expression implied, the current Murakan was unleashing all his power.

[Hey, Zephyrin. Let's have a little Dragon fight. Let me judge for myself if what you said about being able to stand up to me in my prime is true.]
