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

"If everything ends, will both humans and dragons have a better future?"

Under the Dragon King's gaze, Roy dared not lie, much less wanted to. He spoke sincerely from the bottom of his heart, "I can't promise anything. Without destruction, there is no construction. If I want a new beginning, I have to put an end to the past. At least, I am willing to believe in that future."

“…Whatever.”

The tragedy of the past was already inevitable.

But if there is still a chance to end everything, to start a new beginning, a better future, even if it means risking my last remaining soul and being doomed forever—

Just like the young man in front of him, he chooses to bet everything again and again and pry on the scales of fate.

This time, the Dragon King who had accompanied the young man here finally stopped hesitating and made the same choice.

He extended his hand and shook Roy's.

It not only gives divine power, but also burns the last remaining soul.

Roy only felt a huge force rushing into his body like a torrent, and the beating of his heart was like the roar of thunder, releasing a terrifying dragon power that made him palpitate.

The shackles between the middle and high levels, the chasm that countless creatures dared not even think about, is finally no longer far away.

Carefully feeling the boiling dragon blood in his veins, Roy did not suppress this tremendous power, but released it to his heart's content.

Dark golden lightning burst out from the boy's dark eyes, and ferocious scales covered his body as if quenched by fire. At this moment, he finally stepped into the realm above the extraordinary.

[Perfect fusion of dragon bloodline]

Divinity: 15%

[Dragon Slayer Sword Balmung no longer requires consuming Fate Reversal Points]

[Do you want to consume 2 Fate Reversal Points to project the shadow of the previous king?]

[Confirmed to consume 2 Fate Reversal Points, projecting the shadow of the former king! ]

The moment I opened my eyes again, I returned to reality and saw raging dark golden lightning sweeping across everything around me.

The boy's extraordinary aura surged dozens of times in an instant. The sudden change made the already furious dragon feel a sense of crisis.

Without thinking, Nidhogg swung out his thunder claws without even waiting to gather more strength.

However, before its hasty blow could land, a more powerful blow knocked it over.

In the vast storm, Nidhogg looked in disbelief. Behind the young man, a dark golden shadow outlined a huge figure.

The huge wings, the majestic body, the dark golden scales, and the supreme pressure that is enough to make all dragons bow down to it, all mean only one possibility.

Nidhogg's voice was trembling: "No, it's impossible...!"

Through the cracks in time and space, the former Dragon King reigns here.

Chapter 87: Dragon Slaying

The dark gold Dragon King reigns here, and the supreme pressure of the leader of all dragons reappears in the world. Even though they have been corrupted by Nidhoggr's pollution, thousands of dragons still recall the awe engraved in their blood and tremble with fear.

The human race is also equally frightened.

"What the hell? Why is there another one here?!" Even Natsu was cursing nervously at this moment.

Carl frowned at the terrifying aura, but was also a little confused.

Because, mixed with the dragon's might was an aura that was all too familiar to him.

The frost dragon high in the sky was stunned, filled with horror and confusion, hatred and nostalgia.

"Father... He is really my father... But, even if it is the blood of a fake king..."

"Why, are you so surprised?"

After spitting out the scarlet liquid from her mouth, the princess, surrounded by crimson flames, looked up and smiled.

There was no surprise in those blazing eyes, only a rekindled fighting spirit.

There was no need to understand the reason. The Dragon King's shadow was mixed with Roy's aura. Just knowing this was enough.

"It's not because of the false king's blood, but because he is my knight. This level of surprise is natural for him!"

"court death!"

The endless frosty wind and the crimson sea of ​​fire collided again, and the roars of dragons and lions resounded throughout the battlefield.

at the same time.

Bahamut looked at his familiar offspring in the distance, revealing a sense of vicissitudes and sadness.

The father and son, who are connected by blood, should have been compatriots who protected each other, but they ended up in this state.

But it's time to put an end to all this.

"Nidhogg, you have committed too many sins. I must put an end to your fate."

"It's you, it's really you, Father..."

Nidhogg raised the corners of his mouth, filled with shock and anger. Under the furious lightning, a deep demonic aura kept emanating from his body, like a curse from the underworld.

The pitch-black dragon roared to the heavens, its murderous intent surging. "That's you, indeed! You're only a remnant of soul left, yet you still want to help humanity! Very well, in that case, I'll personally shatter your soul!"

After entering Sequence 4, the extraordinary power in his body increased more than tenfold, and the vastness of the filling made Roy feel more invigorated.

However, the consumption of the Dragon King's projection was too astonishing. Just to maintain its existence, a huge amount of extraordinary power evaporated rapidly, so that Roy, who had broken through to a high level, was still pale.

He didn't think that the projected soul could defeat Nidhogg, but it was more than enough to buy time.

"Help me create opportunities." Roy secretly instructed the Dragon King.

"You only have one chance to strike with the sword at most." Bahamut sighed deeply.

"Can it be done?"

Hearing this, Roy raised the corner of his bleeding mouth and smiled faintly: "One sword is enough."

After a brief exchange, the Dragon King suddenly pounced on the demon dragon.

Roy also pulled the exhausted Golden Winged Griffin up: "Wake up!"

"Brother, I'm still alive. What's my current situation?!"

No wonder the golden-winged griffin was stunned.

Above the sky, the thunderstorm was a blur of light and dark, as if it were from another dimension.

If the silhouette of a griffin could cut through the sky, the clash between two mythical dragons would be enough to turn the entire world upside down.

The Dragon King's claws were full of force, peeling off large pieces of black scales and flesh.

However, the violent black dragon was equally terrifying. When it was hit, it bit back at the Dragon King's shoulder blade, tearing off a large piece of light and making it even dimmer.

The roars continued.

The two sides had no rules at all, relying purely on the violent instincts in their dragon blood to unleash their dragon claws, dragon fangs, and dragon tails on each other's bodies like a torrential rain.

Every clash released a wind pressure that was strong enough to shatter the mountains. In the fight that could not be captured by the naked eye, the already dilapidated crater was destroyed in the blink of an eye.

Lightning flashed, huge rocks shattered, and magma was scattered all over. The heaven and earth were trembling with anxiety because of the battle between dragons.

However, after countless collisions, Nidhogg finally overpowered Bahamut and was the first to pierce his chest with a claw.

Then, a pitch-black breath gushed out from the distance of the melee.

Countless dark thunders condensed into one point, and the sky and the earth darkened.

The destructive beam of light condensed into a line, like an unstoppable sword, piercing straight through the Dragon King's body, and the dark golden shadow also completely dimmed.

The Dragon King who was once revered as a demigod is now only a remnant soul left. However, the dark dragon does not hesitate to shed blood, and knows no fatigue or pain, just to destroy everything within its sight.

"Old thing! You're just a remnant soul. Do you really think you can defeat me now?!"

Nidhogg still refused to give up his hand.

The sharp claws raised in rage pierced the Dragon King's heart completely, and the dragon's tail bound the opponent's body like a chain. Nidhogg intended to tear the opponent in half alive.

However, there was no roar, no growl, not even a cry of pain.

A complex emotion flashed in the illusory dark eyes, and in response to the hateful blow, there was a hug.

The almost dying Dragon King hugged Nidhogg's body tightly in mid-air.

In the moment when the dragon was stunned, Bahamut finally expressed the guilt and regret that had been weighing on him for thousands of years.

"I'm sorry. I have failed you and the dragon clan."

"But you, having fallen, have no choice but to die. Only this age can forgive your sins."

After coming back to his senses from the shock, the brief touch of emotion was once again covered by the surging demonic energy.

Nidhogg pounced and bit, dismembering Bahamut in the most cruel way: "You're dreaming!"

"You are no match for me right now."

Bahamut endured the dragon's wrath but smiled grimly: "Of course I am no match for you. There is someone else who can defeat you."

The one who should bear the hatred for thousands of years should be myself, the Dragon King.

And the only one who can end this hatred and sever the chains of hatred is another person.

By the time Nidhogg realized the other party's intentions, it was too late.

No matter how Nidhogg tore, Bahamut still held on to its wings tightly.

Above the sky, golden wings glided down.

The black-haired young man jumped down from a high altitude. Under the embrace of thunder, his whole body was tempered with dragon scale armor, and the dragon wings of the sky dragon condensed on his right shoulder blade.

It was not a projection, but a real dark golden edge held in both hands.

That was the dragon-slaying sword forged by the Dragon King that had slain the evil dragon Fafnir.

Nidhogg raised his head high and roared a final roar.

Thousands of years of hatred were vented at this moment, and the black dragon's lightning mixed with the deep demonic energy so that they could no longer be distinguished from each other. The dark thunder and the demonic energy condensed into a line, piercing through Bahamut's attack and reappearing in the world.

At the same time, the dragon-slaying sword held high in the air by the black-haired boy also fell from the sky.

[Dragon's Breath Falls from the Sky]!

A dark golden light flashed from one of Roy's eyes, and a vast lightning bolt of tens of millions of pounds fell together with the sword.

That was the breath from the leader of the dragons, the destructive power of the Lord of the Sky, the strongest sword that could kill a dragon.

The clouds surged, lightning flashed, and the vast lightning that seemed to be descending from the entire sky turned into a dark crescent-shaped war mountain, heading towards them.

Even if it was the fire of hatred that had lasted for a thousand years, even if it was the breath of the devil dragon that could burn everything, it still collapsed layer by layer under the endless thunder of the sword light.

The destructive breath collided head-on with the vast sword light. Light and darkness condensed into a line, and then released a huge amount of extraordinary pressure. The thick dark clouds turned into nothingness, the volcano was completely crushed into powder, the earth sank and disappeared, and everything around was completely annihilated.

At this moment, no matter the ferocious dragon, the bravery of the knight, or even the ice and fire dividing the sky in the distance, they all seemed dim and insignificant.

The gray light engulfed the entire world.

Whether it was the roar of the dragons or the shouts of the knights, everything melted into deathly silence.

Chapter 88: Towards the Future

At the end of the light that annihilated everything, Nidhogg's eyes regained clarity after a long time.

What came into view was a dreamlike scene, the scene it had once longed for.

Surrounded by flowers, the sweet dragon girl and the black-haired knight held hands and made a vow of eternal love.

After that, the girl turned around, smiled, and stretched out her hand to it.

Even though he knew it was an impossible hope, Nidhogg couldn't help but extend his hand back.

It's just so tiring.

Wait until the majestic gray light dissipates.

Above the sky, the smoke dissipated, the wind swept away the remaining clouds, and the sky became clear again.

The dark gold shadow slowly shattered, and the pitch-black dragon fell from the sky.

The dragons' cries rose one after another, no longer filled with murderous intent.

The dragon was defeated.
