Berserk: The Prophet

Gurenberu looked up at the sky, meeting the gaze of the enormous dragon's eyes. He could feel its power and hostility, as well as... a pressure and aura emanating from it that was completely different from the source of his own power.

...Will the world follow the same trajectory as in the story? Will Gurenbelud still choose to sacrifice his beloved companion?

Green's enormous dragon eyes looked down at the wingless fire dragon. He could sense an aura emanating from the equally massive Gurenberdo, aura that made the dragon uncomfortable, but there was no need to worry about it now.

Entrusted by Saimile Buddha, this land will soon belong to him.

Green had sensed the souls of Hickel and Benedict, as well as the souls of the soldiers who had died at the hands of Gurenbelud.

The souls that are dying on this land seem to be flowing into the body in an endless stream... eventually forming a vortex somewhere in the body and flowing continuously.

"...I am Beligat, the Lord of Dragons, the new ruler of this land! The king of those cursed by dragon blood!!" Grimm proclaimed in a deafening dragon language, his voice filled with unquestionable majesty.

Gurunberdo let out a deep growl in response to Green's provocation.

Anger gradually burned within him, not only because of Green's threat, but also because the other party mentioned wanting to become the master of this land.

His beloved memories are buried on this land, and he will never allow anyone to easily touch it!

"Awooo—!" Just then, the legion led by He Kun had completely transformed into four-limbed creatures with hard scales. Unlike the bipedal dragons, they were huge and had no wings, making them completely quadrupedal creatures.

They let out sharp cries like newborn beasts and bowed their heads in the direction of Beligat.

Then, their consciousness gradually returned from the illusion, and they were surprised by the new bodies covered in scales. ...It turns out that legends and songs are not entirely used to fool children.

Gurunberudo was equally surprised.

What on earth is going on? Could the strange activity Benedict mentioned earlier be...?!

The one he killed with his own hands...!?

The wyverns have arrived on the battlefield, forming an encirclement around it, like seabirds hunting sardines at sea, plunging headlong into the school of fish.

With their sharp claws and teeth, they tore apart the former invaders. The Juda army, having completely lost its commander, crumbled in the blink of an eye. Some even wet their pants, and others went mad.

"...This world must be insane!" Juda's soldiers fled in panic, abandoning their armor and weapons, and ran desperately toward Chester.

"I want to go home! I want to go home! Ahhhhh..." The Juda soldiers, weeping bitterly, were either beheaded by the flying dragons or thrown into the air and smashed into pieces.

This scene... in the blink of an eye, became a living hell for the Juda soldiers.

The earth was trembling violently, the eruption of the volcano could be seen by looking up, and the tsunami was like a roaring siren rushing towards the earth.

As Gurunberdo gazed at the chaotic and frenzied scene before him, his doubts grew stronger. Was all of this really just a coincidence?

...If it wasn't a coincidence, then what about Benedict Cuth and Heikell, whom he killed with his own hands?

...Could he be the real murderer?

"Roar--!"

Just as Gurenbeldo's chaotic mind was racing with thoughts, a one-eyed golden dragon, much larger than the other dragons, appeared on the high wall opposite him and roared at him.

Gurunberdo's gaze was drawn to the defiant roar. He saw a scar resembling a wild beast's claw mark on the left eye of the golden dragon, and... a horrifying scarlet brand that was still slowly bleeding.

"...Edward?" the fire dragon Gruberdo murmured in disbelief.

The one-eyed golden dragon seemed to understand his call, letting out another deafening roar before spreading its enormous golden wings and swooping down from the high wall toward Gurenberudo.

Edward, now transformed into a golden dragon, unleashed a bolt of golden lightning that struck the fire dragon Gruberdo directly!

Once close friends, they were completely transformed into...destined rivals after the passing of Heechul and Benedict Cumberbatch!

Gurunberdo grunted, enduring the damage head-on. Lightning refracted incessantly on the crystal-like scales, scorching the ground black in a flash.

The lightning-fast attack left Gurunberdo's body momentarily paralyzed, numb and unable to move an inch.

So, the weak point of this body is being hit by magic?

"Roar—!" Gurenbeldo roared in enraged anger. He would never forgive the traitor who had killed General Kirsten!

Gurenberudo channeled the magic within him, and the flames around him surged even more fiercely, carrying a violent aura that scorched and distorted the surrounding air.

Edward struck successfully, but his offensive did not stop. He made a sharp turn in the air and charged towards Gurenberudo again, the golden lightning in his mouth continuously gathering, this time seemingly even more powerful than before.

Just as the lightning was about to strike Gurunberdo again, Gurunberdo suddenly swung its tail, using the force generated by the sweeping motion to sidestep the attack. The thick lightning bolt left a deep trench in the ground.

Taking advantage of the moment, Gurenberu opened his mouth wide, and a pillar of deep red flame shot out, aimed directly at Edward.

Edward narrowly avoided the fire attack, and the two seemed evenly matched.

At this moment, the situation on the battlefield became increasingly chaotic. The soldiers of the legion originally led by Hekun, after adapting to their new bodies, began to try to join the battle. Although not as large as Gurenberudo's body, they were still equally clumsy and began to rampage across the battlefield, their running causing the earth to tremble more and more violently.

The wyverns continued their relentless slaughter of the Juda army. Meanwhile, Grimm hovered in the air, observing the chaotic battle, occasionally letting out a low roar as his dragonfire burned down the Juda fortresses that had crumbled and retreated.

Several warships belonging to the Judas were anchored in the harbor; their only chance of survival now was to board one of their sails!

Meanwhile, Bazso, who was originally on the city wall, had long since thrown away his helmet and scrambled down the ladder to the outside of the city.

This world... is getting weirder and weirder! So much so that he thought he must be hallucinating from fright. He slapped himself twice, his face turning red. When he realized that the pain hadn't gone away, he swung his legs and ran like crazy.

This world is truly bizarre!!

Nobody told him there really are dragons in the Dragon's Nest!

...He only regretted not having two more legs!!

He was utterly shocked when he witnessed the enormous red dragon burn Chester Fortress to a crisp with a single breath. When he looked up and saw the massive tsunami wave, nearly 500 meters high and blotting out the sky, he froze in place.

...finished.

This was Baziso's last thought; he had always assumed the darkness was due to the overcast sky. It wasn't until the waves crashed onto the shore that he realized they were gigantic waves, taller than mountains, and he dared say he had never seen such a massive tsunami in his life.

Even the sky was covered; this was a massive tsunami comparable to a natural disaster.

The massive tsunami, like a messenger announcing the end of the world, swept in with overwhelming force.

Wherever the waves went, everything was swallowed up. The sailboats docked in the harbor were swept up a hundred feet high. The Chester Fortress, which had been burned by dragon flames, was like a fragile sandcastle in front of it and collapsed in an instant.

The seawater, carrying broken stones, inextinguishable flames, and desperate cries, surged inland.

Amidst this apocalyptic scene, Gurenbeldo and Edward continued their fierce battle. Edward once again conjured golden lightning, while Gurenbeldo was engulfed in flames, attempting to find an opening in his opponent's defenses.

However, the tsunami's fierce winds and giant waves continued to disrupt them, making the battle increasingly difficult.

The Juda soldiers were swept away by the tsunami, while the giant four-legged earth dragons struggled in the floodwaters. Some were swept away by the waves, while others tried to stand firm, letting out angry and fearful roars.

The bipedal dragons were also thrown into disarray by this sudden disaster. Some dragons were swept into the sea by the waves and desperately flapped their wings in an attempt to escape.

Gurunberdo seized the moment when Edward was disturbed by the waves and launched a full-force attack, unleashing a dragon's breath at Edward.

Edward was unable to dodge in time and was struck on the wing by the flames, screaming as he lost his balance in mid-air.

Just as the fire dragon was about to bite into the golden dragon's body, a red beam of light shot out from the volcano. Immediately afterward, the earth trembled so much that even Gurenberudo could not stand firm.

A red barrier spread rapidly, and Gurunberdo was forced to retreat by the force, leaving deep claw marks on the ground.

A shallow rift opened between the mortal realm and the underworld, and under the constant repulsion of the red barrier, it pulled Gurenberudo into it.

After burning Chester, Green's consciousness seemed to gradually sink until it completely disappeared, and the dragon's body also dissipated...

Just before his consciousness completely vanished, he seemed to hear a familiar whisper.
