EP.459 The heaviness of truth (9)

!!!

Blue flames soared into the night sky, where red flames flickered.

Naturalization of Tuskegee, burning the living.

As the two-colored embers tangled and fluttered, creating death, real death reared its head.

Kugung… !

Kahal Magdu, the dragon’s bones that once filled the world with fear, began to move slowly but surely, just like the reanimated zombies.

Finally, the moment when flames filled the empty eye sockets.

The skeleton dragon spread its huge wings wide and opened its mouth. Roar? No, it wasn’t.

Kwaaa – !

Flames more terrifying than any roar poured out between sharp teeth. The monsters facing the huge waves of fire instinctively closed their eyes.

And I never opened my eyes again.

-What is this…

A short silence follows the absurd voice of the Dumea family head.

The dragon lowered its head while not only the monsters that were flocking in, but even the Death Knights who had been swinging their swords a moment ago could not open their mouths.

As soon as Tak-Dyeomyung jumped onto the dragon’s skull, Belladiva slowly opened her mouth.

-now… What am I looking at now? Did he bring the dragon’s bones back to life?

-… It seems so.

When Lieutenant Colonel Duke, who was right next to him, nodded his head in confusion, Belladiva added as if it were absurd. The voice was loud enough for everyone to hear.

-What do you do when you transform into a paladin? No, I told you that last time. Actually, that guy is the most dangerous?

As if her voice was a signal, the dazed monsters began to move again with screams.

And Dawn, riding on top of Kahal Magdu’s head, shouted while holding on to the horn that rose like a crown.

“I’ll go and close the portal! “Please hold on for a moment!”

-Change your face first!

Dawn, who changed her face following Belladiva’s non-advice, raised the mana in her stomach once more.

Immediately after the dragon’s heart left behind by Kahal Magdu pulsed fiercely according to his will, the dragon’s wings flapped and its gigantic body rose upward.

The flight magic engraved between the wing bones pushed away gravity, and a harsh wind blew along the wings, which were left only with bone and a thin film.

“let’s go.”

No further commands were needed. The two-colored skeletal dragon flapped its wings toward the portal.

***

Just below the portal, deep underground in the garbage dump.

“What is that… .”

Sabina, the woman in golden robes, raised her head. Her eyes were not looking at the ceiling, but outside, at the skeletal dragon flying and burning the ground.

Yesterday the Senate was massacred, and today it’s a dragon flying around burning thousands of monsters?

I expected the main character to come and twist the plan, but this is so…

At that moment, a soft voice interrupted her thoughts.

“That’s amazing. “I never thought I’d see that dragon here.”

Sabina turned her head while maintaining her clairvoyant magic.

“… Do you know that?”

The person who spoke to her was a white-haired boy wearing an eyepatch. He smiled and answered.

“Kahal Magdu. “This is the dragon that was called the nightmare of South America.”

“… A South American nightmare? “Isn’t he dead?”

The boy shrugged his shoulders.

“You know, right? “No one in this world can truly die.”

“… .”

Sabina remained silent and looked over the dragon’s head. Could it be that the main character dragged him there?

No, it wasn’t. The person standing on top of the dragon’s head was an androgynous-looking man with flowing golden hair… Who is that again?

It was a different intruder than the paladins(?) who came a while ago. Probably the protagonist’s colleague.

The moment Sabina thought about that and was about to ask the boy about that guy’s identity.

Kugu Palace… !

The ceiling of the dump was screaming. It was the sound of the entire ground shaking, unable to withstand the dragon’s flames.

It was obvious what would happen to the monsters hit by the flames.

… This is dangerous. In front of a dragon that size, ordinary monsters are just a waste of time.

If I left it like this, the whole plan could have been ruined.

Ultimately, this means that all forces capable of fighting the dragon must be brought forward.

“… I will step forward. “Call all prepared elite monsters.”

As Sabina stood up, the boy shook his head.

“If you want, I will be happy to do so. but… “Wouldn’t the power to fight the main character be reduced?”

“Then will you go?”

The boy smiled slyly.

“You know. “I am not a combat expert.”

“Then just shut up. I am… .”

At that time, a familiar voice rang through the basement.

[I’ll go. Sabina.]

“Ekemo? Why are you awake already? The main character is still… ”

[Yes, the main character did not come. But I have to go. The author… I have to kill him.]

“… .”

Sabina did not refute. This was the first time Ekemo spoke in such a ‘normal’ voice since being betrayed by Tomasi and Karenin.

She sighed briefly and placed her hand on the shoulder of the boy wearing the eyepatch.

“You help Ekemo.”

“yes? As I said before, I… .”

“Wow,” Sabina muttered, holding the boy’s shoulder.

“go. Go and keep your promise.”

“… .”

There was no need for an answer. Sabina, who freed the boy, raised her wand and tapped! I touched the floor. Then, countless footsteps began running towards the secret passage outside the basement.

Not the chaotic footsteps of monsters spewing out of a portal, but the sound of each step like that of a soldier.

Before the sound of footsteps disappeared, Sabina slowly left the room.

“Ekemo, I’ll be back.”

To kill traitors and protagonists. There was no comment made, and no answer was returned.

As soon as her figure disappeared into the distance, the huge steel tank hanging on the red-stained basement wall started to move, emitting smoke.

The sound of hatching, something that has been holding its breath for a long time to gain strength.

Facing that sound, the boy with the eye patch laughed one last time.

“Shall we go? Ekemo, for our end.”

Grumbling – !

Dawn waved her hand to shake off the heat rising from the corner of Kahal Magdu’s mouth.

The overwhelming size and firepower derived from mana were clear, but it was not necessarily a good thing. I felt like my head was going to explode as I continued to control a dragon this size.

If I had known this would happen, I would have used his soul instead of making him a Buddha. Take a moment to think of even a grumpy thought like this.

He narrowed his eyes as he looked at the portal right in front of him.

Now was the really important moment. The moment to use nuclear missiles, not anything else.

Dawn half clenched her fists and braced herself.

After dropping the nuke beyond the portal, he crosses the portal again without looking back before it explodes.

It was a plan that was as difficult as it was simple. If Sethi had heard, he would have told her never to do it.

But Dawn thought it was worth a try. At least it would be better for her than fighting hordes of monsters forever with no end in sight.

I don’t know if the number of monsters beyond the portal is small.

The moment I continued my thoughts there. Dawn and the skeletal dragon jumped into the ominous shimmering portal.

Even though it was a portal that spewed out monsters, there was nothing strange about it. Just like any other portal, there was only a bright light that blinded the eyes…

As soon as I opened my eyes, Dawn realized something was wrong.

Is the twisted mana mixed in the air too thick? Or is the blackened sky so ominous?

No, it was neither of those two. The source of the ominousness that Dawn felt was familiarity.

Yes, the view beyond the dimension seen from above the head of the flying dragon was familiar.

What would happen if all the people living in a city were murdered overnight and abandoned for decades?

A city where the word apocalypse comes to mind.

The signs and buildings were almost unrecognizable, covered in blood and corpses, but one thing was certain.

All of these things are very similar to the fake LA I saw in the barrier of the dreamer.

“… “What is all this?”

Wasn’t that a dream? Or perhaps the Ayatollah saw this place and created a dream barrier?

Dawn’s doubts did not last long. The moment he stuck his head under the dragon to get a closer look, an even more horrifying scene unfolded.

-Ah ah ah ah ah!!

Monsters were being born all over the city.

Between the broken glass windows of buildings, under dry graves, and among corpses rolling on the ground.

Dawn didn’t know whether to call it ‘birth’.

However, how should I describe the sight of rolling corpses lying everywhere, writhing and clumping together as if they were eating each other, eventually merging into a monster?

hell?

Dawn swallowed her saliva and prepared the nuclear weapon. Because nuclear weapons were a weapon suited to this situation.

But questions immediately followed. How did Ekemo, a mere wizard, know about this place and open a portal? Rather, why does a place like this exist?

Amid unanswered questions and an inexplicable sense of heterogeneity, the moment when Dawn tries to take out a nuclear warhead that is about to explode.

The dark-stained sky ‘opened its eyes.’

As much as Kahal Magdu… No, considering the perspective, the bigger eyes were staring at him.

“… .”

Dawn stopped her hands and faced them. Can they also be killed with nuclear weapons?

Each one was equivalent to the eyes of the evil spirit seen in the Ayatollah’s dream. She was sure she could kill her, but that was it.

Let’s just get this out of the way. The moment Dawn clenched her fist with determination.

Dozens, perhaps hundreds, of voices spoke simultaneously.

『We said, You are a bastard from the old world. Why did you come here carrying the flame of the apocalypse?』

“… .”

The same voice as the fallen stars. They spoke without waiting for Dawn’s answer.

『The bastard answered, “I have come to save people.”

My ears were ringing from the pressure, and my mind was dizzy. Dawn gritted her teeth to keep from fainting.

They kept talking.

『Indeed, there is no lie in those words, and we are moved by this.』

“… .”

『So we said once more, O bastard, why do you risk your life for those you do not know?』

『I ask which shackles dragged you down: law and morality, love and instinct.』

They gave their answer before Dawn’s answer.

『The illegitimate child answered without hesitation and said, “I just wanted to do that.”

…

『When we finished speaking, we were saddened, and now the abandoned world and all its remnants cannot open their mouths.』

Following all those voices, the monsters running towards the other side of the portal stopped.

『In this silence we speak. Yes. For the saint has kept her promise, we will despair no more. As promised, everything will be silent between Ekemo’s struggles and your freedom.』

“Cough!”

Blood flowed out of Dawn’s mouth, unable to withstand the pressure. But he asked, forgetting about his pain.

“… “A saint?”

『Yes, you, son of a saint. Go back and prove her promise. Ekemo or you, who is more right?』

“son? I? What is that all of a sudden-”

The moment when Dawn forgets about nuclear weapons and monsters and tries to argue.

An invisible force pushed him and the dragon back through the portal.
