The dragon’s massive body was destroying walls and buildings. The dragon was simply charging straight toward the port. With each step, roads crumbled, and buildings collapsed from the shock.
-Thud. Boom.
“The dragon, the dragon is coming!!”
“Prepare the cannons!”
“Cannons ready!!”
“Fire!!”
-KABOOM!!
The warships in the port simultaneously began firing their cannons. Gunpowder exploded, lighting up the dark port. Iron shells flew in, destroying the city area of the port.
[The elves have always been like this. They’ve always acted this way.]
-SWOOSH!
Abelesas’s wings spread wide. She ignored the shells flying toward her. The mere impact of mass couldn’t harm her. It only slowed her down momentarily.
-KABOOM!
But humans weren’t so lucky. Every time an iron shell fired by the elven warship embedded itself in the city center, human buildings were shattered, and human flesh was torn to pieces.
The elves have always been like this. They acted noble, pure, and innocent, but they always sacrificed other races to sustain their own. Abelesas had seen this countless times.
-KABOOM!!
A shell fired by the elven warship bounced off her wing and fell. She blocked the shells heading toward the city with her entire body as she charged toward the port. Beside her, an elven swordsman appeared.
“Dragon! Please calm down!”
[Who are you?]
The elven swordsman ran alongside Abelesas, matching her pace on the destroyed road. Her silver hair scattered in the rough sea breeze. It was Leia.
“Leia Pin Guimerin! The Wild Prince of His Majesty Guimerin, the Serpent King! Please calm down! We are not your enemies!”
[Do you truly believe that?]
-SWISH!
Leia rolled her body lightly to dodge the shell flying toward her and shouted.
“No matter why you have awakened, this port is a city of our Guimerin Dynasty! This is an unreasonable invasion!”
[This is the territory Dain prepared for me! Besides, young elf, your king is calling for me. How dare you try to stop me?]
“Then! I will accompany you!”
At Leia’s determined shout, a glimmer of goodwill shone in Abelesas’s eyes. She spread her wings to block the shell flying toward Leia’s head and said.
[Your spirit is admirable. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen an elf who knows loyalty. I will allow you to accompany me.]
“Thank you! I hope the situation resolves peacefully!”
[I hope so too. But we’ll see.]
-KABOOM!
The port was now in sight. Abelesas’s scales were damaged and shattered by the shells, but her momentum and stamina remained unbroken. She roughly kicked off the pier and soared into the air.
“The dragon is flying!!”
“Magic? Is it ready yet?”
“Ready!!”
-ZAP!
Guimerin’s flagship. Abelesas flew into the night sky and gazed at the massive fortress floating on the sea. Multicolored lights began to gather on the ship’s hull.
Fernandez, who had been holding onto Abelesas’s back, quickly twisted his body and climbed onto her head.
[Fernandez, it’s dangerous. Hide.]
“I’ll borrow your magic!”
[Wait, hold on! Just a moment!]
Fernandez pulled on the Control Chains wrapped around his right arm. The magic chains connected to Abelesas’s neck began to violently suck out her magic.
[Huh!! What is this? You, you brat! I, I…]
-ZAP!
Fernandez balanced himself on Abelesas’s shaking head and pressed down on the Beastman. An immense amount of magic heated the Bronze Throne, causing it to glow red.
Hellish Magic. The dragon’s body was made of the Hellish Magic prepared by the mages for her remains. Although she had been focused on reviving her flesh, her body was essentially a manifestation of magic.
With the Control Chains securing dominance over her body, Fernandez now held ownership over her magic.
-Ah, good. This feeling. This sensation. This omnipotence!
Faijashi appeared behind Fernandez, laughing maniacally. Fernandez chuckled as he saw this.
The Stigma embedded in Fernandez’s body burned fiercely. Opposing the conflicting energy, the divinity flowing through his veins began to ignite.
However, the source of the magic was Abelesas, and its circuit manifested through the Bronze Throne! Fernandez’s role was merely to coordinate and tie it together. Divinity couldn’t interfere with his magic now.
Yes. This omnipotence!
Fernandez felt a shiver run down his spine from the soul-shaking ecstasy. A black halo burned behind his head. The magic was complete!
“Markdain’s Descent. The Brass Shield of Zil’kardan. And—.”
-ZAP! ZAP! ZAP!
Dodging the incoming fireballs and deflecting the falling lightning, Fernandez laughed joyfully. In magical battles, he had never once been defeated.
[Fernandez…]
