Chapter 650 – We cannot retreat (6)
Alberu looked at Mary and the Dragon half-blood before looking at the two who were next to him and no longer by Mary’s side as he started speaking.
“Eruhaben-nim.”
Eruhaben had left the Bone Dragon and descended next to Alberu. Mila was by his side.
The two Dragons looked toward the eighth monster.
“...Mm.”
Dodori’s mom Mila groaned.
She rubbed her arm with her hand. She had goosebumps on her arms and cold sweats on her back.
“Chhhhhhhhhh–!”
“Sssss, ssssss!”
Unlike the Electric Eel that was screeching in its intense battle with Choi Han, the Lion Dragon just quietly looked around. Mila could feel an overwhelming power coming from the monster.
A Dragon like her had never felt this kind of emotion before.
‘Fear.’
She subconsciously had a thought once she named the emotion she was feeling toward this monster that was stronger than her.
‘We can’t beat it.’
They couldn’t beat it even if the Dragons got involved.
This monster felt so strong that she thought that if gods truly existed, they would manifest themselves like this.
“Eru-”
She turned toward the ancient Dragon who had more experience than she did before her expression stiffened up for a different reason.
“...You, are you thinking about-”
Oooooo– oooooo–
Numerous golden dust particles were gathering around Eruhaben. The mana nearby was rumbling as well.
As someone who knew Eruhaben’s age, Mila knew that he did not have much time left to live. Someone like that channeling this much mana could only mean one thing.
‘Is he planning on putting everything on the line in this fight?’
She could read Eruhaben’s intentions through his smile.
‘Eruhaben is putting his life on the line.’
Mila didn’t notice it, but the oldest Dragon in the world’s strong will to fight had subconsciously pushed her fear away.
‘Dragons are strong and live long lives. In return, we must work hard to make sure that the laws of the world are maintained.’
That was why they needed to stop the Demonic race, the Divine race, and any other individuals from other worlds who tried to destroy this world.
But that sense of responsibility was not the reason Eruhaben had made up his mind to go all out.
She thought about the people Eruhaben cherished. Thinking about the future Eruhaben was hoping for made Mila think about Dodori, the person she cherished.
The moment Mila was deep in thought...
The Lion Dragon’s gaze moved.
This was the first time.
It was the first time that the monster’s golden eyes fluctuated a bit.
Eruhaben smiled in response.
“Did you finally see me?”
The Lion Dragon looked at Eruhaben.
Its demeanor was different from how it had treated Alberu and the Whales as if they were annoying little flies.
Eruhaben calmly smirked at its reaction and addressed Alberu.
“Alberu Crossman.”
“Eruhaben-nim.”
Alberu got an unexplainable chill watching Eruhaben and the Lion Dragon look at each other.
Oooooong– oooooo–
He subconsciously took a step back. Golden mana was calmly fluctuating around Eruhaben, but every single piece of dust around him felt as if they were bombs waiting to detonate.
Dragon.
That word came to Alberu’s mind the moment he looked at Eruhaben for some reason.
Eruhaben kept his eyes on the Lion Dragon as he asked.
“Are there no more reinforcements?”
“The White Star has attacked the other kingdoms, Eruhaben-nim.”
“Is he trying to isolate the Roan Kingdom?”
It was at that moment.
“Chhhhhhhhhh–!”
“Sssss- sssss!”
Baaaaaang-
The Electric Eel screeched, and there was an intense explosion.
Crackle. Chhhhhhh-
Electric currents and water. The two-headed snake’s body became covered in two different attributes as it screeched into the air.
“Damn it, we can’t even aim for its weaknesses! Choi Han, are you okay?”
Archie, who was attacking the Electric Eel with Choi Han instead of going back after the impossible to attack Lion Dragon, frowned while looking at Choi Han.
“I’m okay.”
“ ‘Okay,’ my ass!”
Archie couldn’t help but sigh while looking at Choi Han, who calmly responded and started attacking again.New novel chapters are published on
Baaaaa- bang!
Choi Han was certain that his goal would be achieved.
And finally, the time to suppress this Electric Eel had arrived.
Someone rushed past the numerous people who came with Rosalyn.
“Your highness, I apologize for my tardiness.”
“Duke Deruth.”
Duke Deruth had come with the strong individuals from all over the continent he had hired by pouring out money as if it was water.
Duke Deruth bowed toward Alberu as he spoke.
“The troops from the northeast region and the other territories will be here soon, your highness.”
Duchess Violan, the matriarch of the Ubarr household, and other nobles of the northeast region were leading their troops here.
The same thing was happening throughout the Roan Kingdom.
Alberu recalled Eruhaben’s question.
Eruhaben had asked if the White Star was planning on isolating the Roan Kingdom.
‘That’s right. He plans to isolate us.’
The White Star believed that the Roan Kingdom alone could not defeat these monsters.
He believed that it would be impossible even if Cale’s allies showed up.
‘He probably included the Dragons in his calculations.’
He wouldn’t have forgotten to add Eruhaben and Raon into the group.
However, the White Star’s side must have determined that these two Dragons and the rest of the strong individuals by Cale’s side would fail.
‘That is how strong this Lion Dragon is.’
Alberu accepted that as well.
He could tell after going up against it. Overwhelming strength was a term reserved for monsters like this.
Alberu couldn’t help but wonder what the White Star was thinking to summon such a monster. The White Star couldn’t defeat this monster either.
‘However.’
But there was no need for Alberu to feel depressed.
He heard Eruhaben’s voice.
“We have quite a lot of allies to be considered isolated.”
Alberu nodded his head.
They really did have a lot of allies, as Eruhaben mentioned.
Their friends who had come to help them for a greater future. The citizens of the Roan Kingdom who were rushing over even though they could lose their lives. The people who couldn’t come but were fighting their own battles in their respective areas.
Alberu could feel a wave of emotion in his mind.
It was a different feeling than the heavy burden of responsibility.
“We will definitely win.”
He said that to Eruhaben, but it sounded as if he was confirming it to himself.
Eruhaben calmly responded to him.
“Of course.”
Alberu flinched at this extremely calm voice and looked toward Eruhaben.
He felt that the golden dust particles around Eruhaben increased in number and opacity. The Lion Dragon was still observing Eruhaben.
“Alberu, your weapon can break that monster’s hide and bones?”
“...Yes, Eruhaben-nim.”
Alberu nodded his head as Eruhaben looked at the white spear.
It was odd.
Eruhaben’s extremely calm demeanor felt weird.
Alberu then saw the concern on Mila’s face.
‘She’s worried?’
Eruhaben gently patted Alberu’s shoulder as Alberu was thinking about her odd expression.
“Get on my back.”
“...Excuse me?”
Alberu had to step back as he asked.
Swooooooosh-
Alberu couldn’t help but do so because of the strong gust of wind with Eruhaben at the center. He looked for Eruhaben through the gust of wind.
“Ah!”
Alberu finally managed to spot Eruhaben through the wind and the golden dust particles that were swirling with it.
“Eruhaben-nim!”
Dragon wings appeared on Eruhaben’s back and his body started to become covered in scales.
However, he soon became covered by the gold dust.
“...Fuck. That is your decision.”
Mila sighed and swore while Alberu looked up.
The whirlwind with the golden dust shot up into the sky.
The gold light that was extremely small compared to the Lion Dragon increased in size once it was in the sky.
Everybody on the battlefield could see it once that gold light disappeared.
“...A Dragon.”
A Dragon giving off a radiant gold light covered the sky.
It truly looked like the great and mighty Dragons they had heard about in legends.
The golden Dragon in the sky looked down at the holy-looking monster standing on the ground.
The monster with a lion’s mane looked up at the Dragon as well.
