Chapter 299
[What are you doing? After doing nothing for so many years. I thought you agreed with me.]
Ryuhyeon said that from within the rift, which seemed to have grown slightly larger than before. Within the pulsating darkness was the Ryuhyeon that Roina knew.
“To be sure, I thought I didn’t care if this world disappeared or not.”
The Golden Dragon said. His flowing body moved, and his golden scales undulated organically. He glanced at Roina.
“But someone appeared and told me to live. I can’t rest until I see how absurd that is.”
[Hah, nonsense. That useless human spouting useless words? Only we can understand our solitude.]
“That thought is isolating you.”
Roina, barely holding back, spoke. She felt like she couldn’t bear not to lash out at Ryuhyeon.
“Don’t try to make Lutan the same kind of being as you.”
At those words, Ryuhyeon’s killing intent poured down on Roina. Roina felt a strong fear from that killing intent, but she gathered the energy within her body and stood against it. She even met his gaze with a defiant look. As if daring him to try.
“Your arrogance will bring about your downfall.”
As the conversation progressed, the air around them became heavier and more oppressive than before, and the vibrations and red sea waves surrounding them intensified. As if they were in the middle of a storm, the wind around them changed unusually.
[Just one more step, and the foundation will be complete once I devour those people. Are you going to interfere now? After all this time?]
“……”
“It’s not your place to say when Lutan does anything.”
[Shut up!!]
Suddenly, a strong wind blew. The surrounding mana fluctuated, threatening everyone, and darkness erupted from the rift in the sky. The darkened sky willingly accepted that darkness. It felt as if the world had been inverted.
Roina tried to calm the surrounding mana and noticed Lutan helping her, so she looked at him. The Golden Dragon was also able to control and move the surrounding mana.
Within the chaos and darkness, only the places touched by their hands were filled with calm order. Like the eye of a typhoon, they remained unshaken by Ryuhyeon’s threats.
Ryuhyeon combined the tentacles that had been striking them until now, creating a giant arm. Roina frowned at the grotesque sight, but it was only for a moment, as that giant dark arm swung down towards them. Lutan took Roina and dodged, and Jason, who was now able to move freely in the air thanks to Roina, quickly dodged the attack with Nova on his back.
A whoong- sound accompanied the wind in the wake of the giant arm. The arm, being so large and heavy, should have been slower, but that dark arm was only slightly slower than the tentacles, striking them very quickly.
“It’s getting weaker over time.”
“Huh?”
“Ryuhyeon. He must be overexerting himself.”
At Lutan’s words, Roina looked at Ryuhyeon anew. He seemed fine on the outside, but… when she read his energy, she clearly felt that he had become significantly slower and weaker. She widened her eyes in surprise.
“If we attack the connection point of the rift and forcibly seal it, Ryuhyeon won’t be able to last much longer.”
“Then, how do we do that?”
Whoong- Another attack came threateningly. They managed to dodge this time as well, but the tip of Jason’s tail was visibly blackened. It was slightly overwhelming to dodge completely. In fact, the fact that he, who was always full of jokes, was silent and focused was evidence of that.
“Unfortunately, we need the blood of the chaotic ones. Even if they don’t die, their blood must flow to seal it. I’ll take care of the attacks.”
“Are you going to be okay?”
“Didn’t you tell me to live?”
The Golden Dragon indifferently met Roina’s eyes and then flew off. Roina stared blankly at that sight.
At that moment, the giant arm tried to grab the Golden Dragon, and the Golden Dragon circled in the air, narrowly avoiding it. The Golden Dragon shot a blue light breath towards the rift, but it was soon blocked by the giant arm.
Contrary to his words, it didn’t seem to be an easy task.
