Episode 261 zero (3)
Royce and Gwangryong continued to clash and flew away.
After leaving the village, we crossed the mountain range and headed further west from there.
As time passed, the battle between Royce and Gwangryong became more intense.
The twins followed them without losing sight of them, but were too quick to join the fight.
How much did it fly like that?
After arriving on the western side of the Spring Continent, on the open sea, the battle between the two entered a brief lull.
“Roy!”
“are you okay?”
The twins quickly flew to Lois’ side.
“are you okay.”
Lois nodded slightly and stared straight ahead.
This fight made me realize something.
Its physical capabilities are comparable to that of a decent old dragon.
[me… Don’t disturb me… Mara.]
A slurred voice flowed from the mouth of Gwangryong, stained with madness.
[Revenge… I am… Revenge… What you are trying to do… It’s just… … . my… The child’s… plural… … .]
Lois responded with cynicism.
“Your child never existed to begin with.”
[I am… … .]
“Your existence is also just a lie.”
[all… I will kill them all.]
“So, take it in moderation and get out of the way. Please, let me live comfortably.”
The guy responded to Lois’ sincere voice.
[I have to kill him… you… I have to kill him… You have to disappear… sun… … .]
His hostility became even clearer.
Along with that, a black shimmer spread out from the guy’s body.
It was late in the evening, but the light of the setting sun still remained.
However, darkness was gathering around him.
Lois and the twins had seen something like that once.
At this, a curse came out of Lois’ mouth.
“This is crazy?!”
At first, the realm of Gwangryong was clearly visible.
The prevailing thought was that I was at a sufficient level to deal with him, and that I could probably handle him on my own.
However, as time passed, his level became unpredictable.
Sze-.
The black energy that had spread everywhere became more and more intense, eventually exceeding what Lois could fathom.
In other words, he was saying that his level was higher than what Lois had achieved.
The twins asked with a tired face.
“Roy, that can’t be… … ?”
“That’s what we think… “I guess not?”
A look in your eyes that seems to be asking you to please say no.
Lois didn’t want to admit it, but she had to admit it.
“I think that’s right.”
“crazy… The level of zero?! And isn’t that your technique?!”
“hey… Should we fight him? “Can’t we just resolve this quietly through conversation?”
“You idiot! Didn’t you hear it earlier? There must be something going on between him and Roy. And that bastard threatened to kill our Roy!”
“No, but how can I get along with something like that?! “I haven’t heard of any other Zero-level dragons besides the elders!”
Lois shouted with a stern expression upon the twins’ conversation.
“Get ready to run away while they’re talking like that!”
If this guy was truly a monster that had reached the level of zero, then they had no chance of winning as it was.
Lois gritted her teeth.
‘but… ‘He must have been so confident that he could achieve this level.’
Withdrawal88.
He said Lois would die today.
It seems like he can kill anyone he wants.
Lois couldn’t help but admit it.
That’s dangerous.
‘shit!’
Lois jumped forward and immediately wrapped her arms around the twins.
It is natural that even if you fly anyway, you will be caught up quickly.
In that case, it would be better to avoid the place by moving around.
‘Let’s think about how to deal with him later!’
Measures can only be put in place if you survive.
Just like that, Lois snatched up the twins.
It only took about 3 seconds to get there.
But Gwangryong’s actions were faster than that.
Along with that, Lois and the twins’ new forms were eaten by the darkness.

Gwangryong muttered as he watched the three dragons disappear completely.
[darkness… inside… Go die… … .]
* * *
Lois is swallowed up by darkness.
he shouted in panic.
“Cannes! “Kani!”
I desperately called my friends, but the twins’ voices could not be heard anywhere.
Even though they were by his side until just moments ago, they disappeared without a trace.
Royce quickly tried using holy techniques, but none of the holy techniques were activated properly.
No, it was impossible to confirm whether the Holy Law had been activated in the first place.
After trying many different methods, Lois realized that everything was useless and bit her lip.
‘shit!’
It was truly complete darkness.
Not only could I not see an inch ahead, I couldn’t even feel the passage of time.
Also, the body buried in darkness was not even recognized.
‘Is this my hand? Or legs? wing?’
The darkness created by Gwangryong and spread by someone who has reached the level of zero.
It wasn’t just darkness.
Lois still remembered clearly.
When he was trapped on an island as a child, Generoker came to save him.
My father devoured a horde of monsters with this same darkness.
After the darkness disappeared, nothing existed.
I didn’t know the details at the time, but now that I’ve experienced it, I feel like I can understand it.
Why did such a phenomenon occur?
‘The moment you are consumed by darkness and forget yourself… ‘Existence itself disappears!’
To be exact, it means becoming one with the darkness.
A power beyond common sense that ignores the laws of the world.
‘This is the state of zero… … .’
There was no way to escape this darkness.
No, it did exist.
All you have to do is for yourself or your twin to reach the level of zero.
But how easy would that be?
He and his twin were dragons who had just undergone the Holy Dragon Ceremony, as if they were ancient dragons.
No matter how much a dragon he was, it was nearly impossible to reach zero level at a young age.
‘But if you ignore it… Die.’
Not only myself but also the twins who were caught up.
The existence of three dragons will be erased from this world.
Lois gritted her teeth at this.
‘At best…’ ‘I didn’t stubbornly survive all this time just to collapse at this level!’
As it has been until now.
As if it will continue to be like that in the future.
He will survive.
‘I don’t know if it will work or not… ‘I must challenge the level of zero.’
Anyway, I had reached the top tier.
Among them, spatial properties were considered to have mastered the top tier.
I was fully qualified to challenge the level of zero.
However, it felt like the distance to zero was too far away, so I just waited for a while.
But now there was no time.
“Whoa… … .”
Lois let out a long sigh, slowly closed her eyes, and began to contemplate herself.
* * *
Lois floated in the dark.
The unknown fear that darkness brings.
The thought that the entrance to the bottomless pit was in front of her suddenly occurred to her and her ego was shaken, but Lois held on tenaciously.
‘How much time has passed?’
It’s been a while since I forgot the passage of time.
It feels like not much time has passed.
Or it seems like eons of time have passed.
The body’s sense of time was going out of whack.
‘Well, right now I’m confused about where my limbs are attached… ‘Do you have a sense of time?’
Trying to maintain one’s self in this thick darkness was never easy.
Darkness constantly tormented Lois’ mind.
Let it go.
Isn’t it hard?
Why are you holding on so stubbornly?
Let’s get comfortable now.
Become one with me.
Even though it was a dragon armed with strong mental power, the temptation to rise up was too strong.
If it had been a monster or a human with a weak ego, it might have already become one with the darkness and disappeared.
At this point, Lois began to feel worried.
‘Are the twins safe?’
Simple, ignorant twins who always seem to be lacking something.
Can they really survive this darkness that constantly torments their minds?
Couldn’t it have already been assimilated into darkness and returned to nothingness?
Lois tried to suppress her rising anxiety.
‘Let’s believe it… They’ll be fine.’
Now is the time to overcome it rather than be anxious.
For now, the only way was to reach the level of zero.
So Lois floated in the darkness again.
* * *
In the dark, all you can do is maintain your sense of self.
And all I could do was think.
‘What is the state of zero?’
One day he asked his father.
What is the state of zero?
How can I get there?
At that time, Generoker answered like this.
[Zero level? You can probably do that to a certain extent as you get older.]
[But not all ancient dragons are at the level of zero, right?]
[That’s because old people are lazy. Also, when you reach the level of zero, you have to take on the position of elder… Will lazy old people want to take on that troublesome task?]
[ah… … .]
[The Elder Dragon level can reach the level of zero at any time, but the old people are deliberately delaying it. Some old people were so upset that they tried to stop something that almost reached zero.]
[Wow, such ignorance… … .]
[That ignorant dragon is your grandfather.]
[…] … .]
[Then, about 500 years later, he reached zero again and became an elder.]
[…] … .]
[Tsk, this is why the elders are whining and asking for a replacement to come along. When my heart was broken and I was complaining, I thought your grandfather was stupid, but he turned out to be wise. I didn’t even know that, and I had already reached the level of zero… … .]
[hmm… When a dragon naturally ages, it reaches the level of zero, right?]
[In most cases, that’s the case.]
[Then what should I do to reach the level of zero, other than something that happens naturally as I get older?]
[no! Why?! Royce, you too, enter the realm of zero as late as possible! Non-natural attribute dragons are still rare, so the elder dragons who are currently serving as non-natural attribute elders are making a fuss every day, asking for a successor to appear!]
[…] … .]
[The moment you become an unnatural elder, you will just have to work for thousands of years, right?]
[Still, I’m curious. Even though your father is not at the level of an ancient dragon, he has achieved the level of zero, right? I thought that was really cool.]
[Hmm, really? This dad is kind of cool. It’s completely different from other lazy dragons! cancer! Of course!]
[So is there a secret? How did you reach the level of zero?]
[hmm… It’s a secret… Wouldn’t it be better to say that I just discovered the secret rather than the secret?]
[What?]
[The level of zero is not as grandiose as you think?]
[yes?]
[Someday you will find out. The state of zero is simply holding the key next to you in your hand. However, the key is not what you are looking for. They give it to you.]
[The word itself… If it sounds very grandiose, I’m probably mistaken, right? And them?]
[That’s all I know. If you receive a complete answer from the beginning, it will become an obstacle to pioneering new ground.]
It is often said.
The state of Zero is the state of a demigod.
But Generoker said.
The level of zero is not that grand.
I couldn’t understand it at the time.
Is it possible to treat the level of Zero, which means reaching it and becoming a demigod-level being, so lightly?
‘My father probably didn’t just say that without meaning.’
So what on earth did you mean by that?
‘key?’
What key are ‘they’ giving them?
And who are ‘them’?
Lois continued to think in the dark.
His thoughts sank deep, deep inside.
Ironically, the darkness that tried to tear apart his ego allowed Lois to focus his thoughts.
Lois focused on the words ‘key’ and ‘them’.
Lois continues her contemplation like that.
He didn’t know.
The fact that his body is emitting a faint light in the deep, dark darkness.
That something is changing within you.
He didn’t realize it yet.
