674.

Whoooosh—

An unpleasant wind that made breathing suffocating blew over.

Long ago in the past.

During the Age of Calamity, even the fiercely blowing winds reeked of death.

“Risinass is a Dragon Lord?”

Gimeion burst into laughter upon hearing Leo’s words.

“Hehehe— What an amusing joke. Do you really think a black dragon living in darkness deserves the title of Dragon Lord?”

Gimeion, covering his face with his hands, shrugged his shoulders.

“Dragon Lord means the most noble being in the world. The chosen one recognized by God. But that foolish and stupid woman is a Dragon Lord? Hahaha! Amusing! How amusing!”

Gimeion, who had been laughing madly, pointed his finger at Leo.

“I should praise you for entertaining me. But I’m also feeling displeasure.”

The man who abruptly stopped laughing spoke indifferently.

“For the crime of making a low-class joke, I’ll kill you painfully.”

Flash—!

A brilliant light flickered.

Gimeion didn’t doubt for a moment that this attack would blow off one of Leo’s arms.

Leo swung the arm that wasn’t holding his sword.

Thud—! Crash—!

With a heavy collision sound, a mass of magical power shot up into the sky and caused a powerful explosion.

Gimeion’s eyes twitched.

Leo’s hand had deflected Gimeion’s magic.

“A mere inferior race.”

“Being told that by a mere lizard doesn’t feel good, does it?”

“You bastard! Did you just call me a lizard again?”

Gimeion’s eyes flashed.

Watching such Gimeion, Leo rubbed his neck.

The chosen one, Gimeion.

Before the Age of Calamity.

He was a dragon who had been designated as the next Dragon Lord.

As such, he was a being who wielded powerful dragon language magic.

Even in the current era, the Dragon Lord holds the highest position in the world.

The ruler of Dragonnia and the one who selects and nurtures heroes.

Literally, he could be called a being who moves the world.

‘But compared to before the Age of Calamity, his status is lower.’

The authority of the Dragon Lord before the Age of Calamity was literally immense.

A single word from the Dragon Lord could destroy even nations in an instant.

The race chosen by the gods.

The guardians of the world.

That was what dragons were, and the one who commanded them was the Dragon Lord.

If the Dragon Lord of the current era exists for the world.

The Dragon Lord of that time existed to reign over the world.

‘Well, that immense influence diminished because of this bastard.’

Disgust settled in Leo’s eyes.

The previous Dragon Lord lost his life fighting against Erebos and Tartaros.

He sacrificed his life for the world.

And after the previous Dragon Lord died in battle on the battlefield.

Gimeion’s choice as the new Dragon Lord literally shattered the world’s balance that had been barely maintained.

He pledged loyalty to Erebos and betrayed the world.

The betrayal of the Dragon Lord, who could be called the strongest being, was enough to shock the world.

And Gimeion felt not a shred of shame about that choice.

“Yes, it seems you’re also having such incredibly foolish thoughts.”

Terrifying magical power began pouring out from Gimeion’s body.

“That I should have sacrificed my life for the world.”

Flash—

His pupils changed into dragon eyes.

“Why should I do that? I am a chosen being.”

Whirrrr—!

Countless magic circles were generated around Gimeion.

“The world exists for me! For Gimeion! You inferior human!”

A roar burst from Gimeion’s mouth.

‘Dragon Fear.’

An attack that would instantly destroy even the mind of beings with weak mental defense abilities.

Leo, exposed to that attack, slightly furrowed his brow.

“How ear-piercing.”

“What?!”

Gimeion showed a shocked expression.

Watching such Gimeion, Leo smiled fiercely.

“Chosen my ass.”

Gimeion was a being who had lived being revered from the moment he was born.

Born as a noble white dragon, he was gifted with amazing talent.

From childhood, even the gods didn’t spare their blessings, saying he was born to reign over the world.

That’s why he had no hesitation in betraying the world and felt no shame.

‘Because that was natural to him.’

The Age of Calamity.

As a shadow, he had executed countless traitors.

‘Among them, if I had to pick the worst, it would be this lizard.’

Due to Gimeion’s betrayal, the world came to distrust dragons.

The moment the most noble Dragon Lord turned his back on the world.

Countless people despaired.

In the midst of that, Risinass, a fellow dragon, appeared and spoke of hope.

Bearing the distrust that Gimeion had created.

Risinass had to fight a difficult battle alone for a long time.

‘Until she met me.’

Strength entered Leo’s hands.

Even after Dweno joined and the Arhee party was formed, Risinass had to bear the distrust that Gimeion created for a long time.

The cold reactions and mockery that returned to words about being able to save the world.

The Great Heroes knew better than anyone how long that distrust had tormented Risinass.

‘That’s why I wanted to kill him with my own hands.’

It wasn’t just himself.

Luna and Dweno, even Arron.

They all gritted their teeth saying they would subjugate Gimeion.

But in his previous life, Gimeion wasn’t subjugated by the Great Heroes’ hands.

After Pafnir was exterminated by the Great Heroes.

Gimeion fled to Tartaros to avoid the Great Heroes.

And he was executed by the Overlord King’s hands and fell to an undead with his will erased.

It was Gimeion who had granted pack characteristics and abnormal reproduction and growth traits to Pafnir, who had been merely an intermediate magical beast.

After Pafnir disappeared, he was disposed of when judged to have no utility value.

A fitting end for a traitor.

But neither he nor Luna and Dweno could ever be satisfied with that ending.

Leo lowered his stance.

Whoosh-!

In an instant, Leo disappeared from sight.

Swish-!

Leo’s sword appeared behind Gimeion, letting out an eerie sound as it was swung.

“That’s just my afterimage though?”

Gimeion, who had appeared behind Leo at some point, sneered mockingly.

Thunk-!

“…!”

“I know.”

“Gack?”

In Leo’s hand that wasn’t holding the sword, a long spear was gripped.

Leo, who had summoned the spear and thrust it backward, followed through with a back kick that struck Gimeion’s abdomen.

Bang-!

With a tremendous explosion, Gimeion’s body was sent flying.

“How dare! A lowly human dares to wound me, a Dragon Lord!”

Rage erupted from Gimeion’s body.

“Who would acknowledge a traitor lizard like you as a Dragon Lord?”

Leo sneered mockingly.

Communication wasn’t possible anyway.

But he didn’t ignore Gimeion’s words either.

He simply denied them.

No one in the world would acknowledge the lizard before his eyes as a Dragon Lord.

‘That has nothing to do with me. It’s just….’

It was simply disgusting that the lizard before him claimed to be greater than Risinass.

Flash-

Leo’s pupils turned black.

Seeing Leo’s eyes change to dragon eyes, Gimeion showed a shocked expression.

“What? It’s not simply borrowing Risinass’s power!”

“Let me show you just how strong the truly strongest dragon is.”

Dragon magic power swirled around Leo’s body.

Black magic power rippled like a blade from his fingertips.

‘Dragon… Fear?’

Gimeion’s body stiffened.

What was before his eyes.

Was a dragon itself, in human form.

***

“Duran! Support Zone 3!”

Crackle-!

With Cal’s shout, lightning swirled.

Duran, who arrived at the designated zone at tremendous speed, unleashed lightning.

“Oh! Not bad! Rookie!”

Seeing this, the Dwarf Warrior laughed heartily.

Thump- Thump- Thump-

At that moment, a giant Giant Demon broke through the sea of fire and reached the city wall.

Seeing this, Cal grinned wickedly.

“As expected, it broke through! Driana!”

At Cal’s shout, Driana spoke to Ar, who was hanging from the end of the hammer head.

“Here we go! Stupid cat!”

“Who are you calling stupid!”

Driana grinned wickedly and began spinning madly in the void.

Centrifugal force was added to Driana’s tremendous strength.

Then she threw the hammer with Ar still hanging from it straight toward the Giant Demon.

Whoooosh-!

Golden aura erupted from Ar’s body.

Ar, who had placed her foot against the end of the hammer flying at tremendous speed, threw back her head to look straight ahead, then extended her knee.

Thwack-!

Added to the hammer containing Driana’s strength, Ar’s leg power created tremendous acceleration.

“Hyaaaaaaah!”

Ar’s body pierced straight through the Giant Demon’s solar plexus like a bullet.

Thunk-!

“Gack?!”

Death throes burst from the demon’s mouth.

Ar, who had instantly killed the demon with her kick, flew straight toward Dweno.

“Dweno! I came to help!”

Thud-!

Ar, who landed on the ground, kicked and crushed the head of a demon aiming for Dweno’s back.

And….

“Ah, it’s hot!”

Ar, who had landed in the middle of the sea of fire, screamed.

Seeing such Ar, Dweno shouted.

“What’s so hot about this much!”

“It’s hot for me!”

“From what I see, you also need to go into the furnace!”

“Why does the conversation go that way!”

Ar moved quickly while being horrified.

Thanks to wrapping herself in aura armor to increase fire resistance, she avoided the mishap of taking damage from allied flames.

But that didn’t mean she could do anything about the heat itself.

“Enemies keep swarming endlessly! You should return to the city wall soon!”

“Hmm! Since we’ve broken their momentum, shall we head back!”

It was when Dweno grinned wickedly.

Roaaaaaaaar!

A roar echoed through the void.

And….

Crash-!

“A dragon?!”

Seeing the dragon that had fallen right in front of her, Ar showed a shocked expression.

“Where did it come from….”

“Gimeion.”

A low voice came from Dweno’s mouth.

“Do you know this dragon?”

“Know him indeed.”

Ar, who turned her gaze toward Dweno, felt goosebumps rise all over her body.

Dweno was making an extremely ferocious expression.

“A demon dragon who betrayed the world.”

[Lowly humans! How dare they!

Gimeion, who had lost his reason, roared toward the sky.

His body was slashed to pieces.

Literally a one-sided fight.

Leo and Gimeion had nearly equal power.

However, there existed an unbridgeable gap between the Great Hero who saved the world and the Dragon who had begged for his life and lived safely out of cowardice.

“Where are you looking, lizard.”

[Now even a Dwarf dares to challenge this body!]

Crack—!

In an instant, a chilling sound echoed through the air.

The axe blade of the Battle Axe that Dweno gripped tore through the wing joint of Gimeion.

[Kieeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!]

Gimeion’s scream filled with pain echoed through the air.

After that, Dweno’s axe blade cruelly chopped into Gimeion’s body.

Thwack! Crack! Crunch!

He climbed onto Gimeion’s body and struck down with his axe blade as if mincing.

While doing so, he thoroughly ravaged Gimeion’s body to a level that wouldn’t kill him.

Not only Ar but even the surrounding Demons stiffened at that cruel sight.

Thud—!

Dweno, who had shouldered his Battle Axe, raised his head.

“What are you staring at like that?”

Leo, who had descended to the Earthly Realm pursuing Gimeion, was staring intently at Dweno.

“You… do you have your memories?”

“Memories? I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Then why did you kill him like that?”

Dweno, who frowned and made an expression of not understanding, brought down his Battle Axe.

Thwack—!

Gimeion’s head, who had been dying, flew off by Dweno’s axe blade.

Looking at Gimeion who died instantly with his neck severed, Dweno spat—ptui.

“This bastard is a lizard who betrayed the world.”

Dweno looked down at the dead Gimeion’s head with disgust.

Dweno looked at Leo with a puzzled face.

“I think delivering such an end is perfectly natural, don’t you?”
