The Strongest Dragon in History 2
“Ugh…”
Pretia couldn’t overcome her nausea. In her long life, she had never witnessed such a devastating scene.
She understood why this war was being called Armageddon [the final battle between good and evil].
What else could it be but a war that destroys the heavens, the earth, and the underground?
Just what…
…is that black dragon?
She couldn’t understand its purpose.
She didn’t know what it lived for.
Was it desire?
Or the manifestation of non-possession [a state of being free from material desires]?
Behold!
The black dragon was growing larger and larger.
It was approaching 1,000 meters in size, an unimaginable scale.
It breathed.
With just its breath, hundreds, even thousands of nearby undead had their vitality stolen. The undead couldn’t even muster their strength and entered eternal rest.
The same was true for the fanatics who followed the black dragon.
At first, they knelt and prayed to the black dragon.
“Oh! The resurrection of the black dragon! The black dragon will guide us to the path of God!”
The bishops thought the same.
The resurrection of the black dragon, which they had so desperately desired. In fact, it was only a matter of time before the Archbishop would be resurrected as the black dragon.
They had heard the words, ‘The time is near,’ hundreds of times. None of the bishops doubted it.
Because the Archbishop’s words were the words of God.
The bishops and believers greeted the black dragon with reverence.
Please lead us to the new world.
But-
The black dragon showed them no mercy. These were the believers of the Stone Head Church who had believed in and followed him until now.
The black dragon’s eyes were so cold that they couldn’t be expressed in words.
Why?
Soon they would know the reason.
This being is our God.
The one who will lead us to the new world.
Why is he looking at us with such eyes?
Those eyes…
I’ve seen them somewhere before.
Yes, I have.
The way we look at non-believers. The way we look at incompetent and insignificant humans.
The way we mercilessly trample and kill trash.
Oh God!
Why do you look at us like that?
What sins have we committed?
The black dragon did not answer.
But it was as if the black dragon’s answer echoed in everyone’s mind.
-I am a cosmic being.
I create everything.
I destroy everything.
All beings in this world created by the previous God will be annihilated into cosmic dust.
Therefore, I eliminate them.
What?
What is it!
Oh God!
Our God!
The bishops and believers of the Stone Head Church couldn’t say a word. Their eyes gradually turned ashen.
They still couldn’t believe it.
God…
God, who is everything to us…
God.
Betrayed us.
“This can’t be!”
The bishops jumped up from their seats. They shouted in angry voices.
“Oh God! We risked our lives for centuries just to resurrect you. What is the meaning of this! Oh God! Answer us!”
“Archbishop! Has God truly descended upon you? What is happening? Are you possessed by a demon, not God?”
The bishops asked, but what came back was-
Thousands, tens of thousands of tentacles that they could never resist with their power.
The tentacles wrapped around the bishops’ entire bodies and instantly sucked away their magic.
There wasn’t even time to scream. As soon as they touched, all life force drained from the bishops’ bodies.
They instantly turned into mummies and fell to the floor with a thud. It felt like only their outer garments had fallen to the floor without any contents.
The Stone Head Church gathered many legendary items from the world while searching for clues to resurrect the black dragon. Based on that, the bishops were able to grow stronger quickly.
Only to find and resurrect the fragments of the black dragon!
But!
What is this?
Why did we resurrect the black dragon?
It wasn’t to be abandoned like this.
“You!!!!!!”
“It’s an evil god! An evil god! The god we wanted is definitely not you!”
“Archbishop! That foolish guy has been taken over by an evil god.”
The bishops cried tears of blood and shouted with rage. They had no choice but to cry tears of blood.
Their fathers, grandfathers, great-grandfathers, and in many cases, even their great-great-grandfathers had lived only to resurrect the black dragon.
Believing only that he would be resurrected and lead them to the new world.
That belief collapses all at once.
The devastation was beyond words.
The beliefs and will they had believed in all their lives collapsed at once. That soon turned into anger.
But it didn’t take long for that to turn into despair.
-Everything will become my energy. That energy will gradually spread into the universe and become one with the world. So… don’t feel wronged.
The black dragon’s powerful energy enveloped the surroundings. At the same time, unbelievable things happened.
Tens of thousands of Stone Head Church believers disappeared all at once.
There was no time or room to stop it.
It was as if they had never been there in the first place.
Nothing-
Not a single thing-
remained.
The black dragon, having absorbed all the tens of thousands of Stone Head Church believers, lifted its head with a calm gaze.
It was a simple movement.
It was an insignificant action, but all the living creatures around it watched without breathing.
How could a trivial life form not worship when a god moves?
-This, this, damn black dragon! I knew it! I knew it would be like this! I was against it from the beginning!
It wasn’t just the Stone Head Church believers who were shocked.
The dragons, who had instantly lost their eldest, Dragon Lord, and their strongest, Ancient-class dragon, Shooting Star, were also in shock.
The black dragon’s body, having absorbed the two dragons with near-infinite super magic power and tens of thousands of humans, was growing endlessly.
A living creature cannot grow to 1,000 meters.
Okay, let’s say such a creature was born due to the fault of God.
Then how on earth can we kill it?
-I won’t let it go! Finish it off!
The surviving Ancient Dragons shouted. They all transformed into their true forms and simultaneously unleashed their breaths. There were hundreds of breaths.
The destructive power is beyond imagination.
There is a place where the dragons’ breaths were poured all at once. It was the capital of the empire.
The capital of the empire has now disappeared from the map. Even if an archaeologist searches there, they will not be able to find any trace of civilization.
Complete evaporation!
Complete destruction!
What remains is nothingness!
Such powerful energy stretched out towards the black dragon.
A flash of light erupts.
No one should look at that light. Human’s weak eyes will instantly lose their sight.
The flash of light spread endlessly.
Later, people from the West, East, and South continents said.
That day, people from other continents witnessed the collapse of the heavens and the earth. The huge flash of light spread endlessly and covered the entire continent.
-This, this, this is impossible.
-Even the Dragon Lord can’t stop the dragons’ simultaneous attack.
Hundreds of dragons froze in the sky. The black dragon had taken the dragons’ simultaneous attack. It wasn’t even clear if it was a shield or something.
Only one thing was confirmed!
The black dragon was not injured even by a scratch.
-Is this all the power you have, you who pride yourselves on being the guardians of the human realm? Weak. Too weak. Breath. Yes, this is what breath is.
The black dragon’s mouth opened.
Magic power beyond imagination gathered in its mouth. So much powerful magic gathered that all the air within a few kilometers radius was sucked in.
The survivors who barely survived grabbed their necks and collapsed.
Soon, the black dragon’s breath was fired at the dragons floating in the sky.
Flash!
.
.
.
.
.
Pretia couldn’t move.
“This is…”
She looked at her palm. It was wet.
The same was true for her spine.
She had been strong since birth.
It was no exaggeration to say that there were hardly any opponents stronger than her, transcending races.
She doesn’t know the word ‘fear’.
Of course, she doesn’t know the word ‘horror’ either.
She had never thought about losing a fight against anyone.
Why?
Because she is originally strong.
Originally strong, she doesn’t understand the hearts of the weak at all.
But now, for the first time, she came to know such emotions.
She came to know what the word instinct and fear are.
She witnessed an absurd sight. It was a sight she had never even imagined.
She didn’t even understand how to accept this.
That has surpassed the dimension of a monster.
Black Dragon’s Breath.
What on earth was that?
In one blow, more than a hundred dragons disappeared without a trace. The dragons’ 10-circle barrier was useless. No barrier could stop the black dragon’s breath.
Even more surprising is…
Its breath stretched to the end of the sky and made the second moon floating in the sky disappear.
It’s so absurd that I can’t even speak.
The three moons that illuminate this planet.
Half of the second moon, called the goddess of the beautiful lake, disappeared and floated in the darkness.
The surviving dragons were equally shocked.
Since birth, they have been the strongest race in the human realm. As the masters of magic, they were able to learn magic reaching the 9th circle without effort as they got older.
When they were angry, the world trembled in fear-
When they laughed, the world was swept up in a festival.
The balance of the world was maintained by them.
That’s what I believed…
The pride they had was completely shattered.
The breath fired by all the dragons had no effect on the black dragon at all.
And the black dragon’s breath evaporated half of the dragon race without a trace.
That’s why they had expressions that didn’t know what had happened to them.
It’s like an expression that can’t wake up from a nightmare.
The black dragon looked at the dragons with calm eyes.
What kind of world does that monster see? Is all of this meaningless?
Or does it just want to be the only one to survive in this vast universe?
Whatever it is…
If we don’t stop it now, all life on this continent will be wiped out.
This was the unchanging truth.
“Everyone, wake up! It’s targeting you again!”
Pretia shouted at the surviving dragons. I can’t tell them to fight. I can’t tell them to run away either.
That was a problem for them to judge.
I just hope they make a wise decision if possible.
-Black Dragon! You damn monster! Let’s finish this! Hell Laser!
-Gigantic Burst!
-Meteor Shower!
Just because breath doesn’t work doesn’t mean they don’t have weapons. The dragons poured the strongest magic they could unleash on the black dragon.
The sky turned red-
It flickered as if hell had descended on the world.
Gulp.
Pretia swallowed hard.
She definitely made eye contact with the black dragon. That crazy bastard was smacking his lips.
Me…
It’s thinking of absorbing me.
I’ll die if I stay here.
Run away?
Me?
Me, who everyone undoubtedly believes will become the strongest dragon in history, run away?
Normally, she would never have shown such ugly behavior even if she died.
But now she has something to believe in.
Draeger…
Lich Mamon…
And…
I hate to admit it…
The strongest in the human realm.
Such a human could not have been born without the blessing of God.
Perhaps this is God’s arrangement in anticipation of this situation.
No way.
It’s just a variant.
Legion.
He was still there too.
There is no answer if even they are defeated.
But no one knew his true strength.
“Bastard, let’s finish this once and for all.”
Pretia’s body floated up. First of all, it’s a retreat. The dragons were falling like falling leaves.
They won’t last long either.
They were foolishly deceived by the black dragon, but the inside of her mouth was very bitter because they were the same race.
But there was no choice. If she tried to save them, she wouldn’t be able to get out of here either.
She opened the portal.
The moment she opened the portal!
A bunch of black dragon’s tentacles poured out from inside the portal. She never imagined that its territory would extend even inside the portal.
“T, this is ridiculous!”
