Chapter 95

#Episode 95

Knights with black suns carved on their chests appeared like bamboo shoots after rain.

I thought they had quieted down after dealing with the previous Black Sun priestess, but it seems they’re acting up again.

“How dare you invade this place?”

The enraged Guardian Spirits immediately began fighting the knights.

Four knights each attached themselves to the powerful Guardian Spirits’ attacks, beginning dedicated marking.

Surprisingly, the knights’ combat level was quite high, with their hit-and-run tactics being exceptional.

In the evenly matched situation, I quietly observed the knights.

Did they come in without knowing I was here?

Or were they automatically summoned the moment the stake was removed?

Either way, what mattered was that I needed to drive those bastards away immediately.

If the Golden Dragon became any more consumed by madness, it would become troublesome.

I expanded the range of the Black Fortress that I had only deployed on the Golden Dragon.

As I scattered my death force like waves, black targets appeared on the foreheads of the Black Knights that passed by.

And without any time to react, sharp black chains poured down and pierced through their foreheads.

Thud thud thud-!

The Guardian Spirits were also startled by what happened in an instant and looked at me.

Except for one bastard, all of them had chains embedded in their foreheads and stopped all life activities.

“Ho… you blocked this?”

He alone wore a red helmet, and a sinister aura that couldn’t be felt from the other knights was flowing from him.

“You, what kind of bastard are you?”

“…”

As if my question wasn’t worth answering, he showed not the slightest movement.

Rather, he was gripping his sword and steeling his fighting spirit as if he would continue the battle even in this situation.

It was truly like a picture of the ideal of an upright knight.

If he hadn’t been my enemy, he would have been worthy of respect, but that was all.

Since deploying a domain against a single human wasn’t efficient, I left him to my companions.

Led by Baek Do-hyeon, who brightly illuminated the dark space along with the spirits, the battle began.

Conversely, I approached the Golden Dragon, which was rampaging again along with the Guardian Spirits.

Though it was currently fighting fiercely within itself, it seemed only a matter of time before the Golden Dragon’s mind would be completely conquered.

“What’s the problem? We removed the stake without any issues.”

“Please wait a moment, the Healing Guardian Spirit is diagnosing it now.”

While the Golden Dragon desperately held onto its consciousness, the Healing Guardian Spirit who had confirmed something broke out in cold sweat.

“What’s the problem?”

The Guardian Spirit who had been biting their lips pointed to various parts of the Golden Dragon’s body with a dizzy expression.

“There are stakes embedded throughout the mana circuits.”

Following the Guardian Spirit’s touch, black stakes in various parts of the Golden Dragon’s body came into view.

They were emitting sinister energy and violently disrupting the mana circuits.

My face naturally wrinkled at the stakes that had been embedded so thoroughly.

Not just one or two, but what, ten stakes were embedded.

“These weren’t originally there, right?”

The Guardian Spirit nodded at my question and clicked their tongue.

“It seems to be a system where they automatically appear when the stake embedded in the soul is removed.”

“Then what should we do?”

The Black Dragon, gradually completely consumed by darkness, began glaring at me.

The gentle emotions from before had disappeared, and now fierce killing intent was sharply pricking my skin.

“…Everyone step back.”

That thing was no longer the same existence as before.

Now it was just a demon tainted by twisted black emotions.

I could feel bitter death from its lips ready to bite.

It wasn’t simply an S-rank demon that could be dealt with.

Its majesty befitting a Black Dragon as its name suggested was incomparable to anyone except me.

‘Senior, if we just remove all those stakes, will it return to normal?’

[Well… it will be injured, but it should return to normal in a few months.]

‘That’s fortunate to hear.’

[However, be careful. If your goal is suppression rather than killing, it’s not an opponent to take lightly.]

‘Understood.’

I called upon Desperado as black flames erupted.

A death roar that said “let’s give it a try” resounded thunderously throughout this space.

‘I don’t know how those Black Sun bastards set this up… but once this is over, I’ll have to properly clean them out.’

Kuwaaa-!

Unrestrained fear washes over me.

The fear was so intense that several Guardian Spirits beside me dropped to their knees with a thud.

The Black Dragon flew at me with speed that didn’t match its massive frame, baring its molars as if to devour me.

I twisted my body to dodge, then stomped down on its nose with my foot.

Kwaaaaang-!

The massive body crashed into the ground, but the Black Dragon, seemingly uninjured, quickly recovered and flew at me again.

Perhaps even more enraged by my previous strike, it was now even casting magic.

Black magic poured down like a torrential downpour.

Just as I was about to block it, Luna, who had been watching from the side, transformed into her adult form and roared.

A black barrier appeared and effortlessly blocked the incoming attack.

Then she flew forward once more and bit down hard on the Black Dragon’s neck.

“That’s right! Well done! Keep holding it like that!”

I kicked off the ground and flew forward, first pulling out the stake that had been embedded in the creature’s neck.

Kwaaaaaaaak-!

The Black Dragon, seemingly in considerable pain, writhed and shot black flames wildly, but Luna maintained her grip despite her apologetic expression.

Even while being subdued by Luna, I could see it tensing and relaxing repeatedly – it seemed the Black Dragon and Golden Dragon were still fighting tenaciously within.

I moved quickly to free it from that suffering as soon as possible.

Four stakes in both wings, and then the stakes in its back, waist, and even its tail.

Just as I was about to pull out the largest stake embedded in its head.

Kaaang-!

A Black Knight that tore through dimensions appeared and tried to slice off my hand.

I was able to dodge thanks to Luna momentarily releasing her restraint to grab my collar and pull me back.

“What? I thought you were dead?!”

When I belatedly checked where my companions were, I saw Black Knights – far more than before – engaged in close combat with my allies.

Seeing that they all wore red helmets, there were no small fry among them.

The Guardian Spirits glanced at me, then apparently deciding they couldn’t just stand and watch, began battling the Knights of the Black Sun.

It seemed they served the Golden Dragon rather than being bound to it.

Even though the Golden Dragon had completely fallen to corruption, the Guardian Spirits showed no signs of corruption themselves.

Then what I had to face now was that knight and the Black Dragon.

This knight seemed special among the others, clad entirely in red armor and wielding a sword wreathed in black flames.

‘Not a Monarch… I think.’

Simply a strong opponent.

If I had to compare, it had a similar aura to the Sword Master I met in the previous Tower.

I strongly felt it was a swordsman who had reached a noble realm.

The knight atop the Black Dragon naturally pointed his sword tip at me.

Though he said nothing, I could tell that was a silent challenge.

Luna naturally lowered her head toward me.

‘Something like mounted combat… I’ve never tried it before.’

More importantly, there was no guarantee Luna was stronger than that Black Dragon.

No matter how much she had consumed my power, wasn’t she still a child not even a month old?

When I stroked Luna with worried eyes, she breathed black flames as if telling me to trust only her.

“…Well, let’s give it a shot.”

Luna made a pleased rumbling sound and spread her wings wide.

The two dragons in the massive cavern began charging at each other as if to kill.

Dragons, when I’d never even tried mounted combat before.

Though it was equally bewildering, I trusted Luna for now and burned with all my might.

Black death rippled over Luna’s body, and wind began to flutter as if she wore armor.

‘Master, what should I do?’

Luna’s voice reached me in my mind.

I quietly stroked Luna’s head and answered without changing expression.

‘Our goal isn’t to kill that thing anyway, just to reclaim the Golden Dragon.’

‘Got it!’

Luna, who understood well with just that much explanation, immediately began descending.

Outwardly, it appeared to be fury filled with killing intent.

Luna bared her molars to bite the Black Dragon’s neck, but it began evasive maneuvers as if it wouldn’t be easily defeated.

As if it had gone easy before because the Golden Dragon and Black Dragon were fighting within, now a tenacious aerial battle continued with movements twice as fast.

The Crimson Knight even began glaring at me and launching sword energy repeatedly.

The technique contained in each strike was refined to the extreme and couldn’t be ignored.

The blade was aiming for me while predicting where Luna would fly, making it quite troublesome.

Using my domain seemed premature since we were moving so busily in all directions that I couldn’t rashly do anything.

But I couldn’t just stand and watch either.

I held my breath and quietly waited for the right timing.

“Luna, let’s go with a frontal assault.”

“Okay!”

Luna, who had been performing acrobatic flight, flapped her wings greatly to create wind.

In an instant, Luna, who had gained distance, lowered her head and charged toward the Black Dragon.

Just as she was about to ram straight into the Black Dragon with a fierce charge as if defeat wasn’t even a consideration.

“Luna, now-!”

“Yes!”

Luna twisted her body just before colliding with the Black Dragon.

Using that momentum, I was flung out and grabbed the head of the creature riding on the Black Dragon, crushing its helmet.

“What-!?”

The creature’s eyes widened in shock at the grip strength that crushed the helmet with bare hands, but the tide of battle had already turned in our favor.

“I don’t know what kind of bastard you are, but don’t interfere and just die-!”

I created a Black Spear and pierced through the creature’s heart.

Black blood began flowing out from between the helmet pieces.

Since it clearly wasn’t human blood, I frowned and threw both the knight and spear down to the ground simultaneously.

The spear stuck into the ground as the corpse vomited blood along with it.

Seeing it endlessly pour out black blood made me even more certain.

‘It has a soul but isn’t human… what the hell is that thing?’

I wasn’t sure, but that wasn’t the urgent matter right now.

Displeased that I was riding on it, the Black Dragon twisted its body wildly.

I tensed my thighs firmly and slowly moved forward to grab the stake embedded in its head.

It was a stake with black obsidian embedded in it, and even to my eyes, an eerie black aura was flowing from it.

‘These bastards, I’ll definitely settle this before I go to the Lord’s War-!’

Crack!

When I gripped the stake tightly, the Black Dragon let out a scream filled with pain.

But when Luna joined in to restrain its body, it could no longer move and eventually exhausted itself, lying down.

Finally, I pulled out the stake I was holding with all my strength.

The stake that had been firmly embedded in its head was pulled out and immediately crumbled to dust and disappeared.

Hissss-!

The black flames that had been burning the surroundings gradually began losing their power.

As things calmed down, the Black Dragon’s own light finally began to return.

The dark gloom returned to gentle golden flames, and warm heat slowly filled the cavern.

The exhausted Golden Dragon slowly laid down its body and transformed into human form.

Looking at the Guardian Spirits fighting the knights, he slowly closed his eyes.

“My children… I entrust them to you…”

With those words, the Golden Dragon entered a state of sleep.

As he breathed peacefully and his body began recovering, the mana scattered around the area responded to him and started being absorbed at a frightening speed.
