Chapter 210: The sword was crying
JkldAwWith a force that seemed to tear the sky over the roaring sea.o6JN
uj99OWvThe image of the Leviathan, rising so high it brushed the clouds, was something that could not be gazed upon without reverence.aPuwu
hyDThe sudden appearance of the dragon made everyone on the battlefield forget to breathe due to its immensity.g5Bb
exBXuvb“…My God.”QMTUWp
JwWNWas this the most perfect dragon of ancient times?qGwuWZ
gzNIt was as ancient as it was enormous, and as enormous as it was wondrous.SIKd5
XZ0ZAs Olmukar gazed at the Leviathan’s eyes shining through the thick clouds, he unconsciously shut his eyes tightly.4rj
cQ2OBoom-!VdBv
ZuqzrHowever, in that moment when even the waves held their breath, a sharp sound broke the silence.gf63wXM
XffThough it was just a cannon shot, it was a sound that captured everyone’s attention.Uay
54N0“Enemy flagship cannon fire!”hYR
JU91dS“…!!”dkdCZ
dZmjQIt was a projectile wrapped in an ominous red glow.wjj
UVhnveCThe sight of the cannonballs flying against the dark sky looked like a meteor shower falling from the heavens, but the meteor shower launched by Barbosa was a false star that granted only one person’s wish.41G2Tl5
v8po“…The bait has been cast.”1HG
XmkT1yfBarbosa, the golden duke, smiled as he watched the red trajectory slowly bend toward the island of Lemnos.3r2r
JMXTo capture a wild prey, it had to be weakened first.1mLqa
kKGDThough it was unfortunate to lose pieces, that visible dragon could brutally destroy the dwarves’ defenses.cZx
zXEpV1TGRRRROOOAAAARRR!I0p
lQZSAs expected, the Leviathan’s eyes began to glow intensely red upon seeing the dragon fragments flying toward the island of Lemnos.iSbPK47
JAq7eKIt was not desire or ambition, but instinctive perfection that it craved, as that perfection had just passed close to it.ujwm
1LQKJ“Now, leave the rest to the dragon.”4aVgiy
oEkTPThough that gigantic body might tear the island to pieces, it didn’t matter.urP6NO
Sc1Gold coins, even if broken, will still shine.V2nO
fdiAll he had to do was pick up the pieces left by the dragon.p1r
U9mhC“Barbosa!”eErFsQ
jcXCT5aFrom the rolling waves came Olmukar’s roar, filled with rage.VmhGchQ
mE0jfHe realized what Barbosa had just done upon seeing the Leviathan’s red eyes.CsR9rTl
HkHSwoosh!rGxXu
ywDvhHowever, despite his anger, there was not the slightest hesitation in the Leviathan’s movements.v4r
WQYxEach time that serpent-like body writhed, the sea, unable to contain its enormity, began to scream.oLzNUX
yyb“All ships! Prepare for bombardment! Divert attention from the island!”5vH
14AAnd those screams were directed solely at the island of Lemnos, the home of the dwarves.a4p
cNIx1Seeing their island dangerously exposed before the largest entity, the dwarves of Nidavellir gritted their teeth.xqpqSkN
ZYKN3bp***nj9roP
qc7UE1NThe seabed split open and a scorching heat emerged from within.zcs
1gJ79yaAmidst the raging current created by that aimless heat, a sunfish wobbled precariously.wDrXnD
xMBU9Zt“Why is it shaking so much?!”QtkuT7
4Cx“Aah! Aaaah!”w3Kr5
vdyThe Vulcan submarine, returning to the island of Lemnos after evacuating the dwarf refugees, shook violently.1DZguZD
ZOMVlad and his companions inside were startled by the relentless tremors of the submarine.b2IvC9b
5X8FN“Vulcan! What’s happening?”R9KmmB
i6Q8“…The volcanoes are starting to erupt.”BDILm1R
7t3gfAmid the constant sound of creaking pedals, Vulcan’s restrained voice could be heard.UEbvWZ1
CFbwjRAlthough he tried not to show it, his voice was filled with anxiety that he couldn’t help but convey.geCd
xzvf“Volcanoes? What volcanoes are here?”kVK
kNhW“There are mountains under the sea too. And they are much fiercer than those on the surface.”FNX
HFoSUpon hearing about underwater mountains, Nibelun’s ears perked up, but he couldn’t lift his head.CdA1UC
uRyAt this moment, Vulcan’s submarine was caught in the strong current, swaying back and forth.nBk
sz5The seasickness he thought he had overcome on the Zemina ship returned with the same intensity.gxt10dz
K9rlDC“I don’t understand why the volcanoes are behaving like this all of a sudden.”dOUZf
ixMBUThump!Xygv
CcJJ5tWhen Vulcan said he wasn’t sure, Vlad silently rested the back of his head against the wall.GXWSh
CB29wG0Because now he felt the remnants of perfection that could be discerned just by the beating of his heart.UFoh
NsOd3‘…It’s a dragon.’cYI0o
IfLXMnaAlthough Vulcan didn’t understand the cause, Vlad knew whose fault it was.gHnuHE
NnkF2bpThe remnants of the fallen dragon, hungry for perfection, always appeared accompanied by someone’s cries.i4Lcq7
EYpqJ“Captain. Look at this.”6pkB3gu
HCcZ“What’s going on?”j8A7
ShxdVulcan quickly looked through the periscope at his subordinate’s urgent call.BsGs3E
sGwCuThen, the sea he saw was a miserable sight.Bok
6Ef“…The squids are all dead.”obT
LhfjqPThe sea surface was filled with squids that couldn’t withstand the boiling heat of the sea.H99aC7
ZvsAEIrThese were the corpses of the squids that had been pushing the Zemina and now followed the submarine.a3OFaz
TvyiThump!BMTk8U
1sScr2The squids, having lost their place due to the struggle of the giant being, panicked and didn’t know what to do.dQsP2GN
Fr3S3ZlThe squids, which were supposed to live in the cold sea, tried to avoid the continuously erupting volcanoes, but their world was already in the process of collapsing miserably.nzXII
EdU-······.Fj0
6Zj5jbThe sea spirits were once again crushed by a gigantic world.KyZ
p5FjEB9Seeing their delicate movements, a silver wave started to rise from the depths of the sea.8nnNMC
vY2QhpWoooooo!kRzsWU3
X3nOhHiAn ancient entity that blocked the heat with its body to protect the spirits began to emit a cry of silent fury upon seeing the spirits die.qo2
LZmBRrrr! Rrrrrr!0PW20o
Vl7PcAnd at the same time, Vlad’s sword began to vibrate.hvZqbv
BNGHZThe sword, resonating with the fury of the ancient entity, trembled violently.V2h
BaAIAlthough it didn’t know what it wanted to be, at this moment it wanted to be something.YoI6c6d
3Rw***AfNjG
I0XORx“…No! No!”d8EbV6
7TbbiMEach of the raised scales enveloped the island.gQ7uV
AbeRsMGThe cries of the island of Lemnos, trapped between the body that squeezed it tightly, echoed everywhere.c1YHWg2
Oh2“No!”dZlp9AR
eI7eg7An elderly dwarf cried upon seeing the island collapse disastrously.xAUn1I
7WeepFRuhtha shed thick tears upon seeing the last world of the dwarves crumble before him.Q3ye
1lAh0uBoom! Bang!MTqg
2IXDdbqUrgent cannon sounds were heard from the distant sea.UKh
M4xFTvThe ships of Nidavellir incessantly fired their cannons at the dragon trying to take the island, but to the Leviathan, seeking the dragon fragments, they were less than the buzzing of a mosquito.tFxCa1O
mQHSqoGrrrrr!bX9JaR
fpAOc5UAt the dragon’s fierce roar demanding its prey, the top of the island of Lemnos finally broke.yiSO
iSEThe hot lava flowing from there was the island’s blood and the dwarves’ bitter tears.yHc
hFsXftT“Leave us alone, damn you! Leave us alone!”QHS1u
RWuNThe elderly man, now exhausted, fell to his knees before the storm that blew incessantly.ICNq
AdKKcRuhtha, seeing the entities that relentlessly forced them to kneel, finally lost the strength to resist.QMtE
vG9GRRRROOOAAAARRR!1txj
rwbC7QYes. Here I am.S3egjoK
jUxCome and take me.f3NYJQ
ZhvWhoever possesses me will get closer to perfection.FHO3
mkLThe largest dragon laughed while looking at the elderly man, or rather at the dragon fragment embedded in the cliff beside him, pulsing with a vibrant red.Ref
tO5C1WVThe largest dragon already knew well.nm7jxTe
1IbIt is always easier and sweeter to take others’ possibilities than one’s own.6bSsg
WPEIW-······!pFo
ghG4However, suddenly, the Leviathan turned its head at the cold sensation enveloping it from the bottom of the sea.BLV8aEM
c4V7The silver sea suddenly became brighter.ACT
KN1The enormous tentacles floating above slowly rose toward Leviathan.FtOP71
lJzj“…What is that now?”0qAtiGX
oP2IGTBarbosa, who had been smiling at the Leviathan’s victory, was left speechless upon seeing a huge squid suddenly appear.E6rYmp3
4NQ6Q“Is it another dragon?”t8QxmZr
HKA“No!”4bRp
AD8Px4xThe tentacles rising toward the sky stared at the largest dragon.jDN6V
Sb0ceTA feast of bright silver light illuminated the suckers attached to the tentacles along with the falling seawater.oDk4
I2o7VN“That is a Kraken!”9deR
P1MEIn response to someone’s shout, the high tentacles began to descend.CGJp

jj0xCrack!hL7
jxGfy3A massive sound that human ears couldn’t catch.0BUQ
jLEWith the noise splitting the air, everyone at sea covered their ears.spAqT
GWg2tyThe sea also seemed shocked, throwing up huge waves that shook the floating ships.772wmTP
Hu7LXMz“How the hell is this happening!”Us4a
yfIGThe largest dragon and now the greatest sea spirit.mEJ
W0ORAIn a scene that seemed taken from a myth, both humans and dwarves just clung helplessly to the railings.hzI4
5iZQHQ-¡GRRRROOOAAAARRR!LKxOP
yPJ2And now, on the horizon of the humans’ view, there was something that worried the Leviathan more than the Kraken wrapping around it.ZdEg05Q
Be5lJHeIt was the young dragon rushing toward the pulsating red fragment.Rq3gi
A4dq[It is the fragment of the most perfect dragon! You can’t let them take it!]cHc5
ftS9Wk0“Damn it…!”rXpHW
QEFBZA golden light rushed toward the dragon piece, clinging to its beating heart.wKrPXNM
BEX6jCRIt was Vlad, wielding a vibrating sword that waved with the remnants of the young Yggdrasil.aVN
aL9“Damn! It’s too far!”J4vXz7w
RtS9G80Seeing the dragon fragment precariously embedded in the middle of the cliff, Vlad lifted his head and met the giant gazes watching him.gnGjVVj
3VU6SPfThe Leviathan and the Kraken.D6eo9
3x7RThough they didn’t speak, their eyes seemed to communicate something that Vlad understood as he lunged toward the cliff rocks.JnLph
nlsl-¡GRRRROOOAAAARRR!j5qsr
wh0lyq-······!XImy
ntU01GQA dragon roaring at him not to do it and a kraken urging him to do it quickly.LCo
R0A7gThe sounds they made were enough to make the stones he held with his hands crumble, but Vlad didn’t stop moving toward the pieces.smt5s9l
j5cXPSwoosh!ME2UP
cjRqThe white sandy beach of the island of Lemnos was helplessly washed away by the waves created by giant beings.lvdJqcp
8BlyUnder the rising volcanic ash, Vlad, with great effort, descended the cliff and finally saw the dragon’s bright red fragment.9g4M
bXRThump!O88t
ete5Hurry and take me, young dragon.OniifKV
ESyjl1vIf you possess me, you can achieve perfection.bm4
lPpbJgI am the fragment of the most perfect dragon.ucyUU
JHx“…I am a knight, aren’t I, Kihano?”81bv
E8xOeKz[That’s right.]xEq6r7C
r1tFyHqAlthough Vlad hesitated for a moment before the red glow that tempted him, the voice inside reminded him of who he was.aSNs0Zy
5SCuoV4[You are your own master no matter what others say.]kWLo1ms
JCriYWith my potential, not the potential of others.jxRL
OFvSUvPThe right path is narrow and deep, but the knight’s spirit that chooses that path will always be noble.aAdJ
fpuduULVlad, who had identified his master in the collapsing sea, reached out and grabbed the piece of the leap.BGBLAR
eC4GPqThump! Thump! Thump!Oysc
EcmdRyTo the rhythm of the heartbeat, an ominous red color enveloped Vlad’s body.wJOPN
ENVVlad felt he was going mad due to that strange sensation, but even so, the voice echoing in his head clung to him tightly.Jbc
