As a villain, I really don't want to be pursued by the heroine.

In a flash, Roy and the griffin were both sent flying a thousand meters away, like a kite with a broken string, falling straight from the sky to the foot of the mountain.

Roy gritted his teeth and stood up in the smoke and dust, but the corners of his mouth were already full of blood and his face was frighteningly pale.

Just one blow.

Even though he had defended with all his might just now, his ribs and internal organs were all shattered. Without [Blood Healing], any Sequence 5 would have been dead.

But the abilities of vampires always have their limits.

At this point, nearly half of the blood in the body has been exhausted, which is already dangerous even for a mid-level transcendent.

Even worse...

Glancing at his partner, who was lying on the ground with his tongue hanging out and circles in his eyes, Roy couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Elementalization allowed Cheese to avoid the dragon's tail strike, but it couldn't evade the black dragon's thunderbolt. Cheese was seriously injured and feared he wouldn't be able to use Lightning Flash again.

He is worthy of being the leader of the seven heavenly dragons.

Slaying a dragon is far from as easy as it sounds. Our princess has really posed a difficult problem.

Thinking of this, Roy sighed and looked up at the huge monster above his head.

The latter was not complacent because of its dominant position, but instead gathered more strength.

The already heavy air pressure almost solidified into substance, and the surging dark clouds condensed the dark thunder like a tide above Nidhogg's head.

"Go to hell, blood of the false king!"

Arrogant dragons may look down on humans, but it is not arrogance that drives Nidhogg, but hatred.

Even if it means crushing an ant to pieces, he will do his best to destroy it with hatred.

[Bloodline enlightenment]!

The origin of the black dragon is tyranny, which is closest to the pure violence of the Dragon King.

Then, the dark thunder fell, like a salute to the Dark King and a crown bestowed upon Nidhogg.

Lightning flashed like a python, dancing wildly and ferociously. Everything around the volcano was razed to the ground, turning it into a forbidden zone of death that no mortal spirit could ever enter.

But just as Nidhogg roared and raised his lightning claws towards the ants below, the black-haired boy smiled coldly.

Then, he drew his sword and stood up.

[Consume 1 Fate Reversal Point and project the Blade of the Former King]!

[Pseudo Dragon Breath·Sky]!

A long dragon roar resounded through the sky, and the dark gold two-handed sword was held tightly in his hand. When the young man swung the sword, the sharp edge forged by the Dragon King surged away along with the majesty of the Lord of the Sky.

Nidhogg's moment was followed by more anger.

"It's just the remaining power of my father! What can he do?"

Completely different lightning bolts collided head-on.

The gap between the two forces was not that big. After a moment of stalemate, they exploded against each other. In the end, the dragon slayer's sword was more powerful.

The black dragon fell from the sky, was pierced through the body by the sword light, and fell into a pool of its own blood.

The sky, which had been rumbling with thunder, finally became silent.

The dragons were terrified and circled around in panic, but did not dare to approach.

In terms of destructive power alone, it has killed the [Evil Dragon Fafnir] and the [Red-Blooded Fire Dragon Baragas], and is comparable to the full-strength attack of Sequence 4. The Dragon Slaying Sword imitates the breath of the Dragon King himself and can be said to be Roy's strongest killing move.

This is indeed the case. Even Nidhogg cannot compete with it head-on.

But Roy's complexion didn't improve at all, instead it became terribly dark.

The side effects of activating the power of demigod came one after another. The already scarce blood flowed uncontrollably from his seven orifices, and the muscles and blood vessels all over his body were constantly broken. He had to hold on to the sword blade to avoid falling down.

However......

The black dragon stood up and roared again, attracting thunder from the sky.

The dragon's body seemed to be branded with dark golden lightning, and large amounts of blood fell like a waterfall. Nidhogg's aura did not weaken at all, but was even stronger than before, and it mobilized more power.

Bathed in blood and undefeated, fighting until death, with a monstrous rage that almost tears the sky apart, that is what the world fears... the evil dragon!

This bastard is really a lunatic!

Roy couldn't help but curse inwardly.

There is no doubt that the Black Dragon was seriously injured.

There are still 2 points of reversal of fate left, so theoretically, there is still hope of winning.

The prerequisite is to hit the vital point.

Unable to exploit the dragon's might, the black dragon would inevitably use all its strength to neutralize the attack, reducing its power. A single strike like the one just now was far from enough to kill Nidhogg.

Given his physical condition, even if he still had some Fate Reversal Points left, he could only use one more sword at most.

The next sword must determine the winner.

The weakness from blood loss hit Roy like a tide, making him shaky. In the distance, the black dragon looked ferocious as if it was bathed in fire.

The pitch-black dragon raised its claws again, summoning a raging thunderstorm.

Roy, whose mood had fallen to the bottom, had no choice but to support his body that was about to fall apart and raise his sword again.

On the distant battlefield, the dragons are more rampant than ever before.

The dark thunder was still flashing, the devil dragon was roaring, but the dark gold light had dimmed.

Even without sufficient breath sensing ability, the knights of the kingdom guessed the situation and felt extremely heavy-hearted.

Feeling the black dragon's breath almost crushing their hearts, and Roy Roy's breath being so weak that it was difficult to find, the kingdom's strong men were inevitably shaken.

"Hey, hey, hey, you can't lose! Otherwise, the princess will be angry with me!" Natsu couldn't help but mutter.

Silent Carl threw himself into the battlefield, the sword rising and falling constantly, and the hand holding the sword trembled constantly.

And the original flame was getting dimmer and dimmer in the frosty storm.

The ice dragon hovering overhead scoffed, "Looks like the winner will be decided soon."

"Ants are ants after all, and the blood of the false king cannot escape the fate of a tragic death."

"Don't worry, the road to hell is not lonely. You and the people of the entire capital will be buried with him!"

The ice dragon's breath pierced through the massive lion's shadow, illuminating the original fire of hope for the kingdom, which was then gradually extinguished by the frost dragon's roar.

at the same time.

Just as Roy gritted his teeth and prepared to fight with his last sword, he suddenly realized that everything around him had stopped moving.

However, he did not use it on his own initiative, but was dragged into this memory by the power of a demigod.

The next second, time reversed, space became chaotic, and the power of blood constructed the ashes of the past.

What appeared before my eyes was a sky that resembled a bloody battle between humans and dragons.

At the end of the sky is still the dark dragon, but this time it is not humans who are fighting against it.

But a dragon.

Chapter 86: King's Arrival

The truth that is rarely recorded in history is the civil war between dragons.

Even though he was seriously injured, Bahamut still lived up to his reputation as the Dragon King and single-handedly suppressed the corrupted Nidhogg and the dragons corrupted by it.

However, this also drained away its last bit of strength and vitality.

At the end of the decisive battle, Nidhogg and Bahamut simultaneously stabbed their claws into each other's hearts.

"That's it! You've taken your anger out on humans, polluted your own tribe, and killed your own people... Foolish child, only death can fully atone for your sins!"

Facing Bahamut's judgment, Nidhogg, knowing that he had been defeated, roared and cried blood. His eyes, filled with hatred and pain, stared at his father, the guardian of the dragon clan.

"Is it worth it?"

"For your so-called righteousness, you betrayed the dragon clan and even failed to protect your own blood relatives. What qualifications do you have to be king?!"

In the young man's dark eyes, dark lightning streaked across the sky, and the Dragon King and the evil dragon fell together, announcing the end of the dragon clan.

It determined the winner, but not the life or death.

The former Dragon King could only gasp for breath in a dry tomb, and the equally dying evil dragon could only sleep in the dark.

Until the years pass -

The broken sky dimmed, and Roy returned to the mausoleum of the kings and looked up at the dying old man.

"Bahamut, now is not a good time for a history lesson."

Even though communication in the soul world would not affect the passage of time in the outside world, Roy was still a little anxious.

"I understand, but I hope you know that Nidhogg is not unforgivable, and humans and dragons are not born enemies."

Lowering his eyes, his dark golden eyes no longer held the majesty they once held when they dominated the sky. The corners of Bahamut's mouth trembled slightly, revealing the bitterness that had accumulated over the years: "I once had the opportunity to get a better chance, but I was unable to achieve anything."

"I failed to save humanity, nor could I protect the dragon clan. I even lost my blood relatives. It's only natural that Nidhogg hates me."

"so......"

Bahamut looked over with burning eyes.

But Roy looked away first and said in a deep voice, "So what do you want to ask of me?"

"Forgive Nidhogg? Save your people? End the hatred between us?"

"I'm just a mortal. It's unclear whether I can even defeat Nidhogg right now, not to mention that I'm also a human. Whatever the reason, what makes you think I can forgive the dragon that destroyed my hometown and hurt my compatriots?"

Bahamut was slightly startled, then he smiled bitterly and his eyes dimmed.

Witnessing the young man in front of him rewriting his destiny time and time again, even I, the Dragon King, was attracted to him unconsciously and couldn't help but want to place my hopes on him.

But after all, he is just an ordinary person.

Roy has tried his best for himself and the Lionheart Kingdom. At this critical moment of life and death, it would be too much to ask the other party to consider the dragon clan.

"Well, I was overdoing it."

"According to the covenant, I will still give you power—"

"Give me strength, that's all?"

Roy couldn't help but chuckle as he interrupted Bahamut's speech.

Having witnessed the Dragon King's memories one after another, he had already felt the same way as the other party, so he knew very well what the Dragon King really wanted.

Staring directly at the haggard old man before him, Roy spoke his mind, "The chains of hatred can only be ended with the sword. The feud between humans and dragons is destined to end in blood and fire. As a knight of the human race, all I can do is fight for the human race."

"But you are different."

"Even if we can't undo the mistakes of the past, we can still grasp the future, right?"

Bahamut's lips trembled, but he shook his head helplessly: "I am just a remnant soul now, what can I do?"

Roy's eyes sharpened. "That's right, you can't do anything alone. But what if I'm included?"

Bahamut's eyes widened slightly.

"Have you forgotten? In the blood pact between you and me, you swore to offer your strength to the false king's bloodline when necessary."

"I want you to not only give up your strength, but use everything you have left! Not to fight for me, but for yourself!"

"Bahamut, I can't save the dragon race as you wish and undo the tragedy of the past. I can't forgive Nidhogg and pardon his actions. But at least I can end this feud and give both humans and dragons a new beginning!"

Roy suddenly stretched out his hand towards Bahamut.

The young man's figure lit up the dark golden vertical beam.

After a long silence, Bahamut said helplessly: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

"I will use up the last of my remaining soul to fight alongside you. If I lose, not even a trace of my soul will remain, and I will completely dissipate. No one in the history of the false king's blood has ever gone this far for this covenant. Are you asking me to... serve you as my king?"

Roy raised an eyebrow: "Everything needs a precedent."

"End this yourself, or watch Nidhogg continue to burn in the flames of hatred? The choice is yours!"

After a few seconds of hesitation, Bahamut's eyes became confused.
