The twisted way to fall in love with a dragon

Branches of lightning violently tore through the overcast sky.

The roaring wind turned south and north for a while, constantly changing directions and shaking the branches.

The two huge creatures entangled and wrestled, and fell through the thick clouds.Their armor-like surfaces reflect a dazzling bluish-white flash.

The two creatures falling in a straight line seemed to be about to collide with the continuous ridge, but they were separated from the left and right, and each drew a steep parabola and flew upwards.

Those were two dragons in stark contrast, silver and jet black respectively.

The dragons, who were protected by the wind spirit at the beginning of their birth, summoned the thunderclouds accompanied by the storm, stretched their wings to bear the hail that fell from time to time, and they had been fighting fiercely in the air for more than half an hour.

Their weapons are the four spirit magic and ancient magic that protect themselves, as well as the dragon's breath that breathes out flames and cold air.The sharp fangs and claws that showed their identity as carnivorous creatures were completely ineffective against the armor-like skin.

"It should be over soon."

"Yes, probably one or two more rounds will determine the outcome."

Even though their eyes were narrowed due to the storm, the guys who had been watching the battle between the two dragons looked up at the sky and whispered.

They are also dragons.

Red, green, and cyan, a total of more than twenty dragons of various colors gathered. They were entrenched near the top of the exposed rock, waiting for the end of the long-standing battle around the throne.

There are more than a dozen other dragons gathered far away from this group of dragons, and they are watching the silver dragon challenging the Dragon King uneasily.

What all dragons have in common is a head and horns that form an acute triangle, a slender neck with smooth curves, wings covered with membranes on strong bones, slender forelimbs capable of fine movements and strong hind legs, and A long tail that gradually tapers towards the end.

However, just like human beings have differences in hair color, skin and appearance, the appearance of dragons also has certain differences, each with its own characteristics.

The silver dragon looked at the black dragon flying straight towards him, and after getting so close that the opponent couldn't dodge, he breathed out a high-temperature breath of flame.

If the armor-like epidermis is burned by flames, it should also cause quite serious burns, but before it was about to bear the breath of flames, the Dragon King's whole body was already wrapped in translucent ice.

Faced with the attack of flames, the ice that wrapped the Dragon King creaked and melted, and the water vapor that was generated was immediately blown away by the wind.Before the ice completely melted, the breath of flames had dried up.Feeling defenseless against the opponent's desperate rush, the Silver Dragon backed away with a startled expression.

Of course, the Dragon King would not miss this opportunity, and immediately slammed headfirst into the abdomen of the opponent who showed his flaws.

A flickering bluish-white light lit up around the long and sharp conical horn, and the lightning generated from the horn extended left and right, connecting in the middle of the two horns.At this moment, the lightning that spread out like a spider web, like the nets thrown by a human fisherman into the river, wrapped the whole body of the two dragons fighting fiercely in the air.

The silver dragon was struck by lightning, screaming and falling headlong into the crater of the active volcano that was constantly spewing thick smoke.

Ordinarily, the black dragon, which should have also been bathed in the lightning strike, stopped in the air without incident, calmly watching the end of the guy who dared to rebel against the current dragon king.

White smoke from the largest active volcano in the vicinity engulfed the defeated dragon's figure, and a moment later, the volcano began to erupt explosively.

"Oh, no mercy! You really deserve to be the 'Thunder Fang King'!"

"This way the issue of the throne is finally resolved."

After appreciating the fierce battle, although the reactions of the dragons were somewhat different due to their different positions, most of them showed a look of relief because of the peace that finally came to the World of Eudemons.

Since the whereabouts of the former king disappeared, including a blank period of about two years, World of Fantasy Beasts has waged a seven-year war around the throne of the current Dragon King.However, the Dragon King, who successfully kept the throne, did not follow the usual practice to declare victory to the dragons. Instead, he said something that was likely to cause the Phantom Beasts to lose their peace again.

"I'm going to the human world now."

In the minds of the dragons who were almost petrified on the spot, that oath that was completely equivalent to a nightmare thousands of years ago emerged.

Including the former king, a total of three dragon kings went to the human world in order to maintain the balance between Yin and Yang, and used their bodies as sacrifices.

Fortunately, the Dragon King's next words dispelled their uneasiness.

"The human beings I swore to protect when I went to the Yang Realm are now facing life-threatening danger."

"So you're still coming back?"

"Of course. The world where dragons can live is nowhere else but this Yang Realm."

After giving such a calm answer, the Dragon King ignored Yu's compatriots who were still trying to stop him, and simply turned around.From this action, it is not difficult to see his sense of urgency against every second.

The dragon king's black body flew towards the heights of the sky where the clouds were gradually thinning.

"Sneak attack? Damn it! King Tochijo, he dares to play betrayal!"

Riding a black horse, General Doma of the Holy Unity Army, who was waiting for the start of the battle, turned his head when he heard the sound of battle coming from behind, and immediately became furious.

The soldiers around him also began to waver.It would have been impossible for the enemy rangers to have appeared on their flanks had it not passed through the territory of the Tochijo circle.

In the case of an alliance with the Miyagi circle, their army was attacked by the Fujikyo army, which meant that the Tochijo circle, which had concluded a neutrality treaty with the Miyagi circle, broke the contract and voted for Fujikyoto.

This battle they once thought was a sure thing.Because although they are not evenly matched in terms of numbers, this side is a high-combat group composed of almost all mercenary-level people.Moreover, it occupies a favorable terrain and ensures the supply route.The soldiers were well rested, armed and armored, and morale was at an all-time high.

However, even if the overall victory can be achieved, if the soul of the army is killed, it can only be said that there is nothing left.Because of the unexpected attack launched by the enemy from the side on the weakly defended main formation, the Holy United Army faced a major crisis for a while.

However, if the horse's head is turned at this time, the main force of the enemy who was fighting head-on will attack from behind.

"Anyway, just keep going! Please, Yake!"

The big General Thomas had to pray from the bottom of his heart for the protection of the four-phase gods.

After confirming that the ranger's surprise attack had begun, the main force of the frontal formation of the enemy army also began a general attack.

The main force of the Holy United Army commanded by Doma also advanced rapidly, and a fierce melee immediately broke out.

The main formation in the rear was chaotic due to the sneak attack of a large number of enemy troops, and was knocked down one after another without being able to form a complete attacking formation.

The soldiers of the Fujikyo Army who were hiding in the forest and approaching quietly continued to attack one after another from the hillside.

"Yake, it's too dangerous to stay here! We've been flanked, and it's safer to join Thomas and the others right away!"

Thomas' fiancée, Princess Crotia of the Miyaki Royal family, kept shooting arrows with the short bow in her hand, while shouting at the commander-in-chief of the army.In terms of her magical strength, the bow and arrow with perfect accuracy are more effective in defeating the enemy than magic.

"Your Highness, please go together, we will block you here no matter what." Beside her, the monk Gais, who has a deep relationship with the Miyagi Royal family, said.

Just before he finished speaking, the trees on the hillside were blown away with the sound of an explosion.The broken tree roots and the kicked-up soil mixed with the bodies of the enemy soldiers and flew into the air, even the soldiers walking in front were sucked in and fell to the ground in disorder.In different places, similar small-scale landslides occurred one after another, and soldiers fell like snowballs and were buried alive by the falling sand and stones.

"Everyone, hurry up and join Thomas and the others now!"

A clear voice issued an order to the soldiers of the Holy Unity Army.It was this voice that was chanting the ancient magic spell just now, causing the explosion and landslide.

The owner of the voice was a beautiful young man with a handsome appearance that matched the awe-inspiring voice quality——He was the commander of the Holy Unity Army, Arkenjell.

His waist-length platinum-blonde hair was loosely tied behind him. Although he had a slender beauty and slender figure that would make people mistaken for a woman, he did not give the impression of weakness.

He used to be a paladin, and two years ago, he used the forbidden spell in the holy magic to completely purify the ancient battlefield in the famous cursed land.His great achievements in summoning the four-faced gods made the Pope of the headquarters of the religious order an official miracle, and his name became famous all over the world as a synonym for the great saint.

Yakenjel drew another giant sword that was different from the usual combat sword.

The giant sword has a crimson blade reminiscent of blood.That is the "Sword of the Oath" that will inevitably appear in all the legends surrounding dragons.

As a beautiful saint who possesses the holy magic that can cause miracles and the legendary holy sword, he and his ally General Thomas' army have become a threat that cannot be ignored in the eyes of all the countries that are trying to reunify the whole continent .

Seeing the distinctive blood-red sword, all the enemy soldiers rushed towards him.

It was obvious that he was planning to use himself as a bait in order to create time for his companions to attack, Crotia, who understood his intention, shouted:

"Don't mess around, Yake!"

"If I participate in the battle, I can defeat more enemy soldiers. Hurry up and go to the place where you can fight with your back to your comrades! If something happens to you, I will have no face to face him!"

"Why do you say such things at this time! You are already on the same boat! Although I am not good at using a sword, I can still cover you! If you dare to say that I am in the way, be careful, I will beat you to death!"

A competitive girl who just turned seventeen keeps shooting arrows while threatening her fiancé's best friend.

Her bow and arrow skills and judgment are indeed valuable combat power, so this threat really can't be treated as a joke.

Yakenjel gave up trying to persuade her and begged the monks beside him with a wry smile.

"Gaith, although I say that every time, please protect her."

"Yes, please leave it to me."

Not only Crotia, but all the soldiers around tried to block the enemy soldiers with their bodies and fought to protect Yake.

If you can't control the sword well, you may hurt your own people. In this overcrowded space, the desperate battle between the enemy and us began.

But in this way, powerful magic can no longer be used.

Although there are some differences in equipment, regardless of the enemy and the enemy, almost most of them wear chain mail.And those guys with enough physical strength and money wear armor made of steel plates.

Whether it is cutting or stabbing, it is necessary to attack the exposed parts such as the face to effectively attack the enemy.If it can't be done, aim to break the opponent's bones, and hit the enemy recklessly with a thick iron weapon.After shattering the joints of limbs or shattering the bones of enemies, deliver the fatal blow to immobilized enemies.Although it was a reckless fight relying only on brawn and physical strength, even so the difference in strength was obvious at a glance.

Since the mercenary era, Kenjeel has been nicknamed "Flash". He has a superhuman swordsmanship that instantly penetrates the opponent's vitals and knocks down the opponent.But now he can knock down the enemy with one blow even if he doesn't rely on this kind of swordsmanship, because the holy sword he holds can cut off the human body together with the armor.

Therefore, the number of corpses cut into two pieces is increasing rapidly around Yakenjar.

The quick movements worthy of the title of "flash" and the amazing power of the sword, even if you watch it from the side, it is unbelievable that it is a surreal scene that you have seen with your own eyes.

The blood-red greatsword that cuts off everything it touches, although it looks like a broad sword on the outside, is actually closer to a magic tool with powerful magic.

Whatever it was, Yakenjel the "Flash" easily swung the sword with one hand, building a mountain of miserable corpses behind him without spattering a single drop of blood.

How difficult it would be to stop this quick movement, take away the holy sword, and assassinate the enemy's general at the same time, this issue must have been considered by the soldiers of the Fujikyo Army.

Several people rushed over desperately at the same time.

The body of the man whose head was cut off in an instant still slammed into it with the force of the charge, and another soldier who was cut off in the middle hugged Yake's leg tightly with obsession.

The youth suddenly lost his balance.

At the same time, the soldier with the tomahawk did not let go of the opportunity created by the sacrifice of his companions, and slammed Yake's head with a violent blow.

Although Yakenjel turned his body around in an instant to avoid the heavy blow that was coming straight to the head, the thick blade of the battle ax still hit his right shoulder hard with such force that the silver armor was sunken. Broke his collarbone.The blood-red holy sword flew out from his numb hand due to the impact, and shallowly penetrated into the ground not far away.

Towards Yak, who fell backwards from the blow, the enemy soldier aimed his ax at his throat this time and raised the ax above his head.But at this moment, the entire body of the enemy soldier was suddenly enveloped in flames.

Crotia's spell chanting was completed at a critical moment, and Arkenjell was protected with the magic of the fire spirit.

However, soldiers from both sides, who were attacking the fallen Yake, blocked her view.Attack spells are elven magic that must specify a target, and cannot be used when the surrounding situation is unknown.

"stop it!"

Thinking of the young man who could no longer swing the sword, the girl screamed, desperately wanting to rush over.

Gus reached out from behind and grabbed her by the shoulders, pulling her back.

"No! Even Her Royal Highness will be killed!"

The fighting around Yakanjar became more tense.

Those who want to protect the commander-in-chief, those who want to kill him, and those who are fighting for the legendary holy sword, everyone is swinging their weapons desperately.

Yake, who endured severe pain and propped up his upper body, wanted to chant the healing spell of holy magic to heal himself, but was kicked down by an enemy soldier who killed him and failed.

"The head is mine!"

The enemy soldier who had dealt with the soldiers guarding Yak charged towards the young man lying on the ground and shouted, raising his sword with a cruel smile on his face.

——Ulan Boke...!

Staring at the distorted smile of the man who was clamoring to kill him, Yakanzel called out the name of the beloved whom he could never see again in his heart.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning shot down from the sky, and the pillar of light pierced the ground.

The bluish-white flash was full of pressure, and Yake's body next to the beam of light bounced away as if he was about to be blown away.Several people fell besides him.The too dazzling light made everyone turn their faces away, and no one understood what happened.

At the center of the beam of light was the soldier of the Tengjing army who wanted to kill Yake. He turned into black charcoal in an instant, and the chain armor also vaporized and disappeared.

After a while, there were several loud noises that made people have to cover their ears from the direction where General Doma and the main force of the Fujikyo army were fighting.It was the thunder that made the body tremble instinctively.

Crotia thought it was the senior magician on the enemy's side using the magic of the Wind Spirit, so she turned her head pale.

At some point, the battlefield was filled with dark thunderclouds.Those clouds faced the army directly below, repeatedly emitting flashes like plant roots, and then there was a deafening thunder.

Judging from the distance, the sudden thundercloud seemed to have only shocked the Fujikyo army.From the strong aura of wind spirit that filled the surroundings, it can be known that this is by no means a natural phenomenon.

The girl reassured after confirming that Dorma was not in danger, and found a black cloud in the sky some distance from the thunder cloud.Its area increased rapidly, and it almost covered the entire field of vision in a short while.It wasn't a cloud, but a huge creature that looked like a fusion of lizards, beasts, birds, and bats covered with armor.

"Ah...! No way, is this true?"

Behind the small head with two horns and the flexible and slender neck, on the back of the body wrapped in armor-like armor, stretched out the wings of the membrane that did not flap.

The dragon among dragons, the dragon at the apex of all Eudemons.

Thousands of years before the world was a whole, when such beautiful and powerful creatures flew overhead, humans must have looked at their figures with fear and admiration.

As soon as the strongest phantom beast that only existed in legends appeared, soldiers from both the enemy and the enemy were unable to move because of terror, and there were even guys who were paralyzed on the ground by the huge black figure that shrouded their heads.

Only Crotia and Gus had joyful faces on their faces.

"Ulan! You're here!"

As if answering the call of her who opened her arms to the sky, the black dragon stood still in the air.

"Dragon has never betrayed an oath. 』

It was a calm and deep man's voice.

As if sensing something, the girl looked up at the monk standing beside her with a slightly puzzled expression.

The monk received her questioning gaze, and just as he was about to speak, a strong wind that could blow people down suddenly blew up.

After the strong wind calmed down, when people raised their heads to look at the sky again, the figures of the pitch-black phantom beasts had disappeared.Instead, there was a man in black, who got down on one knee and hugged the upper body of Yakanjel lying at his feet.

The fainted youth regained consciousness due to the severe pain in his shoulder.He looked back at the man who was staring at him with eyes that had not yet fully recovered his vision.

Appears to be around 30 years old.From that well-groomed face, the young man could sense a nostalgic face that would appear even in his dreams.

"... Ulan Pok...?"

The man returned a gentle smile, brushed off the dirt on Yake's face with his warm hands, and then gently raised his fingers to his lips.

Straight long hair, a blouse with delicate embroidery from neckline to chest, leather boots, and even the straps that hold the front of the cloak in the same color.Except for the different luster due to the different materials, everything other than the man's skin is covered in black.

There is nothing resembling armor on his whole body.The elegant appearance, like a nobleman traveling far away, is particularly eye-catching on the battlefield full of killings.

"Who are you, you fellow! Don't touch Mr. Arkenjell casually!"

The roar of the soldiers of the Holy Unity Army brought back the people who were in a trance after witnessing the impact of the dragon, and then immediately fought each other again with murderous aura.

The man in black sighed helplessly, and slowly spread his right hand.

A ball of light the size of a child's head appeared between the multiple bolts of lightning intertwined on his palm.

"Order my loyal servants to shoot through the bodies of all those who are enemies of the oath-sworn, and knock them down—'Thunderbolt Rain'."

He recited the incantation in a steady tone, and when he was about to finish the recitation, the ball of light flew from his hand to the sky as if with will.

The ball of light that stopped in the air exploded, and in an instant, it rained dazzling rain in all directions.

"Wow!"

"what!!"

The enemy fell down with a short scream.At the moment when they lost their lives, they still had expressions of astonishment on their faces.Probably no one can understand what killed him, right?

Even the soldiers of the Holy Unity Army did not feel joy at the annihilation of the enemy's entire army, but trembled in fear of the strange man's terrifying power.

Mercenaries who have fought with fellow magicians know that magic has many restrictions, and it is an unexpected and difficult thing to control.In a large area where soldiers from both sides are mixed, picking out only the enemy soldiers according to one's wish and giving them lightning strikes to stop their hearts beating is really unbelievable as an orthodox magic.

Crotia and Gass ran through the standing soldiers and looked suspiciously at the man in black who held the young man in his arms.

"Hey, Gus. Is that Ulan?"

"Since he said he was going to fulfill his oath, and he was a dragon that appeared when Yake was in danger, then it should be?... But, in this way, he has really grown a lot."

But even confusion is useless.

"In short, let's heal Yake's injury first."

"O four-faced god with a heart of infinite love, please give your loyal servant who is suffering from trauma and pain a gentle treatment—'healing'."

As long as the injuries are not life-threatening, simple holy magic spells are fully effective.

Yakenjel, who was rescued from the agony of a broken bone, looked up to the avatar of the dragon who had saved him.

After blinking his water-colored eyes two or three times, he muttered to himself with an unbearably sad and disappointed expression: "...not Ulan Pok."

"Ah? It's not Wulan who helped us? If you say that, who are you?"

"Your Highness, isn't it impolite to ask such a presumptuous question?"

After showing a calm smile to the surprised girl, the man in black announced his name.

"I am Alphador. My people call me Thunderfang."

"King? Isn't the current Dragon King supposed to be Ulan Boke? Has something happened to him?"

Even bystanders could tell at a glance that the youth's face lost all color in an instant.

After that boy grows up, he should become such a man, right?The man in black smiled softly with an appearance similar to this degree.

"I'm sorry. Because I didn't explain it clearly, I made you worry unnecessarily. Maybe it should be said 'was once called King Thunder Fang'. I am one of the ancestors of that child, and I also came here for the oath The former Dragon King of the Yang Realm. Because before I came here, the disputes in the Yang Realm hadn't been resolved, so I haven't had time to remove the possession magic."

"What an unexpected development...but thank you very much for your help in this critical moment."

"I am very happy to be able to rescue the swearer of the descendants. Although it is fate that you were born in troubled times, your life is still extremely difficult. Until you reach a safe place where you can exchange with him, I will do it. Guard you instead of him."

A dignified manner, a steady voice.Contrary to his youthful appearance, Alphador can be said to be a dragon king with a full kingly demeanor.

Crotia couldn't help confirming the major issues revealed between the lines.

"You...are you the one related to the King of Light, Carlisle?"

"Yes, the young Karl called me Alf. But unfortunately, I didn't survive until he ascended the throne."

The Dragon King, who gained a short life with the help of Ulan Pok's body, narrated the past in a non-emotional tone.

But thinking of the tragedy hidden in the past, the expressions of the three of them twisted.It is precisely because of the sad sacrifice of this dragon king that the two worlds of yin and yang can survive until now.

"Lovely princess. You seem to have inherited quite a strong lineage from Saint King Nadia. Even in my time, no royal family could make me feel her aura so strongly. The current Dragon King didn't even make an oath to you, It’s really incredible.”

"Actually, I even look like the Holy Queen. That's what the Dragon King himself said. But now I don't think it's so pleasing. I heard that the King of Light was celibate all his life. If I have His blood, even if it is only a little bit, can bring you a little bit of comfort."

The unrestrained and bold girl who usually ignored the behavior of the so-called princess, now responded respectfully with a sad expression.The dragon king's eyes were as black as the night sky, looking down at the slender girl in front of him.

Thousands of years ago, in order to avoid a catastrophe, the one who split the world into two by magic was the holy queen Nadia, the ancestor of all the royal families, and the red-haired dragon king, the ancestor of Alpha Dohe Ulanbok.

In order to maintain the continuation of the two worlds of yin and yang, it is necessary to maintain the balance of "qi" on both sides.However, humans who do not understand the structure of the world have repeatedly launched large-scale wars. Multinational wars have caused population decline and disrupted the balance of Qi.In particular, the national unification war known as the Great Chaos will seriously lead to the imbalance of qi.

As if it was destined, every three hundred years or so, the kings of various countries will involve the entire continent in a war that lasts for more than ten years in order to realize their ambition of establishing a unified kingdom.

In the past thousand years, including this time, there have been three major chaos in total.At such times, many human beings would die, and a large amount of "Qi" in the Yang Realm would also be lost.In order to restore the balance between the two realms, the fastest shortcut is to release the natural energy accumulated in the dragon's body to the Yang realm.

In order to save the world with his own death, the Dragon King came to the human world.The same is true for Ulan Boke. If the previous dragon king hadn't replaced him with his own body two years ago, he would not have been able to escape the fate of dying in the human world.

Thunder Fang King Alphador, who sacrificed his life for the sake of the world, walked towards Crotia and extended his hand to her.

The girl responded to his silent request, although she was slightly shy, she still covered his big hand with her graceful gesture.Although it is difficult for her to be reminiscent of a royal family in ordinary times, she does know the etiquette necessary to be a princess.

According to human etiquette, the Dragon King bent his slender body and gracefully kissed the girl's slender hand.His silky black hair slid from his shoulders to his chest, making a slight rustle.

"Brave princess with a gentle heart, even if you don't inherit the blood of Caldi, I am overjoyed to meet you who has the same heart as Saint King Nadia."

"Thank you for your reputation, I am the one, and it is my honor to meet the great Dragon King."

Facing the red-faced girl, the Dragon King accepted her respectful gaze with a gentle smile.

Gass, who was standing beside Yakenjel, groaned in a low voice: "Ahhh! Thomas has no position to speak of again! Whether it's the red-haired one or this one this time, why do men The Dragon King is going to do something that is tantamount to flirting with the princess...!"

Hearing the monk who didn't know what to do, Yakanzel tried his best not to laugh.Guess, who regarded himself as the guardian of Crotia, always sided with Thomas, whom he regarded as the consort of Her Highness the Princess.

However, for Crotia, who is still at an age full of dreams, there is no way to be fascinated by the sudden appearance of the handsome dragon king.What's more, Thunder Fang King Alphado has a leadership style and masculinity that is not inferior to the red-haired Dragon King.

In order to reassure the monk, Yake patted him on the shoulder lightly, and whispered in a low voice: "You don't need to worry. I think that for Tia, the red-haired one is far more dangerous."

"Is that true? But in my opinion, Her Highness's attitude is much more kind than when she was with the red-haired one."

"I'll explain it to you later."

The girl turned around with lowered eyes, "I heard that, you two! Don't make me sound like a flirtatious woman who doesn't like handsome men! Besides, isn't this too rude to Lord Lei Ya?"

what is going on?The soldiers who had been listening to their conversation with their ears pricked up finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Crotia's rage as usual.Even if the man in black is not a human being, since he was able to get out of the huge crisis with his help, he should give his sincere thanks.
