Episode 225. Kill the Dragon.
The long-awaited time has come.
The dragon Ardyn appeared in the Legion to keep his promise.
He appeared alone, as if he had not told the other dragons about this fact.
“No matter what the outcome of our fight is, humanity will ultimately perish.”
He warned me.
If one of the two disappears, humans will not be left in this world. But my thoughts were completely different from his. Rather, a world where gods and dragons do not interfere will go in a better direction than it is now. This was my judgment as I had the memories of not only Bor but all four dragons.
Rather than living a predetermined life, humans who have escaped the shackles of the hourglass will be able to create a new path in the direction they want and go to places they have never been able to walk before.
‘And I’m the only one who can create this opportunity for them.’
Siegfried took a deep breath, sat next to me, and whispered.
“You cannot be with me in the arena. “Then you know that you have to do it alone to cut down the dragon, right?”
“Yes, you don’t have to worry about that. I’ve already faced that guy at the top of the World Tree. “I also found out my weaknesses.”
“Never let down your guard. Not only I, Bae Hu-ryeong, but also Aurors cannot use mana. “You must trust only your own sword and cut down the dragon with the skills you have accumulated so far.”
If it were me in a past life, I probably would have thought about this for a while. In the days when he was called the Sword King, he must have judged that he would not be able to defeat the dragon without using aurors.
‘It’s different this time.’
I only found out after dealing with a real dragon.
How strong they are, why they are that way, and what fatal weaknesses they have.
I took a deep breath and raised my thumb towards Siegfried.
“I have learned several techniques from the Sword God to cut down dragons, but do I really think I would lose to that guy?”
“yes! Go and drop the hair at once! Just cut him up and make him lose the use of his arms and legs. “Don’t let those arrogant guys look down on humans again.”
“And if you win, ask him one question.”
Siegfried put his face right in front of me with a meaningful expression.
“A dragon named Yuki has three holes in her panties, two of which are where her legs come out. “What is the other one used for?”
‘This idiot.’
“Don’t misunderstand, but listen. “I think the hole was made for the tail, but I was wondering if it had another purpose.”
“You don’t really mean it, do you?”
I lightly waved my hand and made his body flutter.
Ardyn, who was watching this, twitched the corner of his mouth and asked me.
“I don’t know what he says, but it seems like an interesting relationship.”
“He is my teacher.”
“Master? “Did there even exist something like that for you?”
“okay. Well, you probably don’t need the guy you know called Bor. “I was different from him, so I needed someone to help me grow.”
“That’s funny. “If I were to go back to being called a god, I would feel ridiculous for even thinking about it.”
“It won’t happen, so don’t even think about it. “I will never go back to the way I was.”
“Is that really the case?”
“With that body, you won’t be able to escape the fate that Bor has set for you.”
“We’ll see in the future. Let’s end this pointless talk and go fight now. “I was itching while I was waiting.”
Ardyn slowly looked at the gray armor covering his body and pulled out a spear from behind his back. His weapon, which had a mysterious color as if swallowing light, was powerful enough to wither the grass and trees growing around it.
“I want to tell you in advance that I have been dealing with demons and learning how to fight since before mankind began. “No matter what learning you have done with your human body, you will face a wall that you will never be able to overcome in just a few decades.”
“There was a guy in my past life who used to say the same thing as you, but now I can’t see him.”
“No longer able to see?”
“Yeah, you know that, right? “About a very old man called Timeless.”
“… “I understand what you mean.”
“Then let’s go quickly and see the end. Because neither you nor I have time. “If that Amon guy gets involved, things get complicated.”
After finishing our conversation, we headed straight to the arena.
Ordin and Amon will definitely move if the tower learns that the dragon has come to the Legion and that he and I will be involved, and even if their power does not reach here, if they attack Rox while I cannot use my hands, it will be a problem. Because it may grow.
That’s why I asked Brunhild. Please protect Rox as soon as I return.
‘I don’t know about the other guys.’
Her power, which has lasted longer than anyone else’s, will also reach Apostle.
Ardyn and I, who entered the arena, kept our distance based on the seal line drawn in the center.
“How is victory or defeat determined?”
Ardyn asked me first.
I answered by scratching the ground with the tip of the scabbard and carving letters.
“The rules are simple. “If either you or I die, it’s okay.”
“Do we really have to go that far?”
“Because that’s how things can change.”
“Me and this world.”
We looked at each other, then slowly took out the blade and started measuring the distance. When I take a step forward, Ardyn takes a step back. When Ardyn took a step forward, I took a step back.
My sword and his spear were pointed at each other’s hearts. Because he and I are skilled enough to be the difference between victory and defeat with a single blow. That’s when you try to start the fight as cautiously as possible.
“Now is the time!!!”
Siegfried shouted right in front of my ear.
When I flinched at his shout, Ardyn reflexively stretched out his spear and struck.
It was a moment.
The two blades flew through the air, and the tips hit each other’s desired direction without any disruption.
The blade of my sword is on Ardyn’s right thigh, and the blade of Ardyn’s spear is on my left shoulder.
Ardyn glanced at his thighs and spoke as if nothing had happened.
My swordsmanship is not weak enough to be overlooked in one word. It is clear that he is enduring pain that is rising to the top of his head.
“You had a pretty good attack too.”

“This fight is my victory. “Once I got stabbed in the shoulder, I can no longer swing the sword properly.”
“That’s your opinion.”
“It’s not my idea. “This is just common sense.”
As I moved to remove the sword stuck in Ardyn’s thigh, he also took a defensive stance and removed the spear stuck in my shoulder.
My shoulder and his thigh were stained with red and blue blood. I never thought the fight would be this much fun even though we only exchanged blows.
I was convinced by the confrontation a little while ago.
‘I won this fight.’
The result of this could be seen simply by the fact that my sword was able to pierce his skin.
“Ardyn, I have fought a fight beyond common sense to survive.”
“A fight outside of common sense?”
“Yes, it is not about fighting fair and square while maintaining chivalry. It means you can do anything to win. Like this-.”
Just one right hand is enough to take him down now. I took a stance as if I was going to rush towards Ardyn, and while he was holding his spear, I slashed the ground with my sword.
The dirt debris thrown out by the impact instantly flew towards Ardyn’s face, blocking his vision.
“What!”
He is currently unable to move his right thigh properly. In that case, since he can’t change his center of gravity quickly and he’s holding his spear, he’ll probably stick to his position.
What fighting methods can he choose in this situation? No matter how long the dragon lived, it would not have known this way of fighting.
‘Because he is not human.’
These battles will be so rare that you won’t have any idea how to deal with them.
‘This time it’s on the left.’
The blade of my sword dug into Ardyn’s left thigh.
Where the dust had disappeared, in his field of vision, he would have seen me with my upper body lowered as if I was lying face down on the floor.
A position that cannot be predicted at all based on my last movements, and cannot be blocked based on the angle of the spear he is holding.
Ardyn’s face contorted as if in pain, and he swung his spear at me.
I raised my sword above my head and jumped backwards to avoid his attack.
Kaang.
Of course, the tip of the spear caught slightly due to the distance, but it was too much to make a proper attack on me.
‘Still, the strength is enormous.’
So much so that the teeth of Mystiltein, who swallowed my energy, fell out.
Ardyn stumbled and struck the ground with the tip of his spear. It seemed difficult to balance in place.
‘Only twice.’
The number of sword strikes used to subdue the dragon Ardyn.
“If you want to fight in dragon form even now, please wait.”
I showed him one last act of generosity. In fact, it was because I wanted to fight his true self, not his human form.
Ardyn attacked me in human form until the end. There was no conversation after my suggestion, and the fight ended when my sword cut through the wind with its third strike.
Three dragons arrived in the Legion.
Yuki, Nori, Howl.
They took human form and tried to kill Rox while Ardyn and Verdin were fighting.
Yuki, who came up with this plan first, spews cold air from his mouth and freezes the entire city. When Nori waved his palm widely as if fanning himself, a strong wind blew and neutralized the monsters controlled by Rox.
Not only this, Howl, who confirmed Rox’s location, went out to deal with him on behalf of the other dragons.
“… What is that?”
By the time they arrived at Rox’s location, it was already late. One of the tower’s apostles who came before the three dragons.
Secretary Amon was playing with Rox, whose arms and legs had been cut off, like a toy.
“what? There were people who didn’t expect this at all. Yuki, the Dragon of the East, and Nori, the Dragon of the South. Plus, Howl, the Dragon of the North and the Lord of Disaster!”
Yuki strengthened her eyes and answered him.
“Why did you kid that kid-.”
“You’re not asking because you don’t know, right? Yuki, I’m sure you know whose hands are moving the giant climbing the tower.”
“If you touch him, Verdin will not stay still.”
“I know. So I waited for a situation where he couldn’t stay still.”
“… Could it be that he was reading our movements?”
Amon stuck out his tongue with a mean expression and licked the blood flowing down his face.
“Haha, I don’t know?”
Nori held out her palm towards Amon with an angry expression.
“I’ll kill you both.”
“to? What are you saying I did? You should be happy to see me instead. “Because I killed Rox on his behalf.”
“He should have died by our hands.”
“Then kill him? “This guy is still alive.”
Amon kicked the dying Rox like a ball and dropped him in front of Nori.
Then, he smiled brightly, and as if he had finished his business, he split the space with his staff and began to disappear.
“Verdin will be back soon. “I’d like to ask the three of you to finish!”
