Chapter 514 – 145. Cecilia and the Stabilization of Wrath (5)
Aquarite continued.
[Even for a dragon that does not have human blood, it takes an eternity to create an evil! Even I, Ustina, have trained Dragon Hearts for 500 years before creating them!]
“…”
[So no matter how genius you are, 1 year is nonsense!]
It was a genuinely perplexed expression.
‘Originally, it would have taken 500 years.’
No, that was also based on Aquarithe and Ustina, the dragons with the best qualities in the Demon Kingdom.
Other dragons will take much longer.
Of course, it didn’t take a year for me, no, it didn’t take me more than a month considering only the awakening of pure rebellion.
“But it is absolutely true.”
[Such nonsense… No. Come to think of it, it seems that human blood flows in you along with Lucifer. Wait, no way!]
And he looked at me with knowing eyes.
[Could it be that the human blood flowing through you is the blood of the Reinhardt family?]
Although the name of my family came out unexpectedly from him. I nodded calmly.
“That’s right.”
He said with a sob.
[Indeed… If the blood of that family, which is very special among humans, is flowing… It may have caused a special synergistic effect with the blood of the demon king flowing in Lucifer. But even so, this rate of growth is nothing short of a miracle!]
Aquarithe looked at Siertia, who had become one with my horn.
[And not only that Jedin’s holy sword, but the Magi that naturally surrounds you, you can feel the scent of the goddess. Then, are you receiving the blessings of the goddess as well as Jedin!]
I didn’t really want to put it out there.
I explained to him that now I am Unir’s apostle.
After all that explanation, he looked at me again with a serious expression.
[As expected. You are not an existence that can be explained as an ordinary creature of God like humans or demons.]
“Is it because the will of the Lord… Is with me?”
[Yes! It may be the only key given by Island on its own in this chaotic era… In this era approaching the end.]
And Aquarius spread his wings wide.
[Then, as a member of the blue dragon clan, no, as someone who once had the blood of a great dragon, I have something to do before this soul disappears.]
At the same time, the energy around her changed.
[With the power of that holy sword, I should be able to temporarily gain the strength I had when I was alive. With your help, I will put an end to the epic of Aquarius!]
Woo woo woo woo woo-
His body started to vibrate.
Just like before, the demonic power that handles the spirit unique to the blue dragon began to activate.
Also, the sound was outrageous.
‘No, it’s different from before.’
A feeling I’m not familiar with. I felt fear from that aquarite.
‘He’s controlling that demonic spirit.’
And that alone changed the atmosphere completely different from the aquarite I knew.
He felt much stronger.
If he felt like an uncontrolled natural disaster in Drawtail Gorge.
Now apparently taking ownership of the natural disaster.
It seemed that he was manipulating that power at will. I didn’t even have to think about which one was scary.
[I know that you defeated me as a puppet with your special power, that person’s refined aura. But at that time, I couldn’t show my true self!]
Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa-
With the sound of thunder, the barrier surrounding him collapsed.
No, Cecilia temporarily removed the barrier.
“Siertia is resonating, so it should be fine if she releases the barrier for a moment!”
Like she said
Although it emits a huge amount of demonic energy, it does not emit the terrible resentment it used to.
The divine power contained in Siertia temporarily made the surroundings non-human.
It was changing into a special space like the divine world.
[Even though my body has disappeared. In this space, even a soul will be able to demonstrate my power in its prime.]
It is as if the special power of Bingjeong-dong has rejuvenated the maternal grandfather.
Aquarithe, with those clear eyes, burned me with a fighting spirit.
[So, dear! Julian of the Reinhard family! Use all the power of that wrath and run into me!]
I, who was speaking like a human with the power of Siertia.
I didn’t reject those words, and raised the magic dragon’s demonic energy to the fullest.
[In that case, I will sincerely step forward!]
Kwajijijijijik-
Soon, the demonic energy emitted by the two engulfed the space around them.
***
‘Whoa… Is this enough to save face?’
A temporary heavenly space.
There, Aquarithe and I fought as elder dragons.
Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa-
It was on a different level from the wild lightning.
Sparks concentrated from the blue dragon’s horns, which grew in multiple numbers. And even though that single bolt of lightning struck me.
I quickly increased my control over the space around me and sent the thunderbolt away.
It was like using my dominance like a lightning rod.
‘No, even that lightning rod would have been meaningless if there hadn’t been a demon like me.’
It seems that about 10 minutes have passed.
Each other’s strongest one. They exchanged breaths and battled as they were.
Also, I thought. Just like the great old dragon’s reputation, Aquarithe pushed me from beginning to end.
[The ancient dragon’s demonic pressure is different. I learned a lot from Aquarite.]
[Umm…]
However, after the light confrontation, Aquarithe’s expression was expressionless.
[Although you are a different dragon than your father, Lucifer. The leisurely way of fighting is strikingly similar. It’s fun to seriously attack me as if you’re going to kill me… I’m sorry.]
But it wasn’t an angry expression.
Rather, it was a surprised expression.
[However, Lucifer’s composure is his instinct as the strongest swordsman who has devoted himself to the sword for a long time. Your leisure is also the same. To be able to have composure instead of conceit at a young age like now… I’m very envious.]
Apparently, Aqua Lite was as strong as his natural power.
It seems that there was less softness and leisure in battle. And because of that difference, he said, he always struggled with my father.
However, he soon became serious and started giving me advice.
[However, being relaxed is the same as not revealing your true self. So it is not necessarily helpful in stabilizing the reverse.]
At least when it comes to controlling the reverse.
You must be prepared to throw everything you have into not looking back. Aquarithe explained.
[An old dragon with a rebellion feels fear instinctively. If I can’t control that huge power… I’ll run out of control as if I had my ego stolen by that apostle. But there is nothing to be afraid of.]
He looked at me with eyes full of faith.
[At least you, who I have experienced myself, do not seem to be weak enough to lose themselves under the weight of that strong power.]
And I took it seriously more than ever.
I saw a lot of Marhon people who became slaves of Knoia because they pursued strong power and were crushed by that strong power.
I, too, was once possessed by Knoia’s curse.
So, the shameful actions I committed during my days as a madman. I didn’t want to repeat it again, so I didn’t even know that I was afraid of drawing out all the power of the reverse.
‘Should I eventually be able to overcome even myself who runs out of control?’
That is my final test.
Unlike the days when she was ruled by Knoia, there is no arrangement from her mother.
And yeokrin is my nature that no one intervenes in the end. Even the main gods, Jedin and Unir, cannot intervene as they do now.
‘It only means that everything depends on me.’
At that moment, it felt like my head was clear.
Aquarithe was right.
Unbeknownst to me, now I am simultaneously responsible for the future of the Empire and the Demon Kingdom. I didn’t even know I was feeling a huge pressure.
If I can’t control that power right now and I’m going to run out of control. In other words, another disaster that surpassed even the apostles of Keiatic Gate occurred in Island.
In particular, the demonic dragon had blood that made it easier to become a mad dragon than any other dragon family.
‘That’s why I was afraid. Myself.’
But Aquarithe confirmed it to me once again.
Now I am not that weak-minded Yulian.
That I can even control my own madness. I made up my mind.
[Thank you. You are a mighty dragon. Thanks to you, I have been enlightened.]
[Because you saved me from becoming a puppet. Rather, it is I who should be grateful. And… If it’s you…]
Aqua Lite looked at me with her trusting eyes.
[I don’t know if even an ancient dragon can reach the level that was believed to be possible only in mythology. Jedin and Yunir. The realm of the Divine Dragon that the two main gods had in the beginning… That is!]
At those words, there was a scene that came to my mind.
A huge obelisk where the two gods were born.
And that the twin gods were in the form of dragons in the beginning.
[We will definitely try to reach it.]
When I said that, Aquarithe gave a very satisfied smile.
[Then it’s my turn to ask you one last favor! Let your wrath run wild! At the limit of that 8th hierarchy! Join me in my final fight, just as the old dragon with all its powers unlocked!]
[This is what I hoped for.]
And the two flew up again.
A huge demon wrapped around the two of them. A fierce battle began that shook even the heavenly space.
***
Cecilia and I left the old dragon’s nest and returned to the headquarters of the Western Demon King’s Army.
I sat in the Lord’s barracks for a while and read all of Lillia’s letters. I folded the letter back.
I briefly recalled the last scene of what happened in the old dragon’s nest.
– I was happy to have a heartfelt confrontation with you at the last moment! So, I will return to the World Tree and head to the side of the goddess! Thanks to you, in this long life, I have no regrets left. Bless your future!
After saying that, Aquarithe disappeared on the spot.
As he said, it wasn’t complete extinction. Instead, his soul turned to the World Tree.
Whether human or demonic. When that soul dies, it goes to the World Tree.
But because Unir’s divinity was lost.
There is a limit to the reincarnation and new birth with only the divinity of the demon grand dukes.
‘As it is now, the demons might have disappeared even without Knoia.’
Of course, I, who was in a position to lead the demons, had no intention of doing that.
More than anything else, meeting Aquarithe made me truly realize the identity of my villain.
I decided to stick to my desire more.
‘I will become the ruler of Ireland.’
It was not a mere dictatorship or delusion of world domination.
Island, which had been fighting against the demons for a long time, was headed for destruction.
Even if you defeat the demon Knoia, the chaos that exists in Island won’t disappear in a short period of time.
A new focal point was needed. With the current old system, the future of mankind could not be certain.
‘I will be the focal point. I will create a new world.’
This thought was separate from the thoughts of his mother and the two gods.
As Julian Reinhardt.
And as a monarch’s instinct to rule everything, which my wrath really wants.
I held out my palm in the air for a moment.
Woo woo woo woo-
In an instant, the jet-black fog, my natural demonic energy, coalesced into a single point.
And that jet-black fog. I created my special polyhedral mana heart structure as seen through Lillia’s mana heart projection.
Just as if Cecilia’s demon had created the skeleton of the barrier.
No, it wasn’t that different.
The runaway demon of evil began to create an ultra-fine skeleton.
I used Cecilia’s way of dealing with Magi. I was preparing to move on to a new level with Yeokrin, which had begun to stabilize.
And just like refining an aura by injecting mana into the veins of the mana heart.
I poured my refinement aura to the limit of the Magi’s skeleton.
‘The White Nights.’
The refinement aura of the Midnight Sun began to enter the skeleton.
Midnight Dog used to defeat Aquarithe, who became the Witch.
It was the very technique of refining a new aura that exceeded the limit by increasing the dominance of demonic energy outside of the refinement aura.
Of course, compared to the midnight sun at the time, it was an unstable magic that lasted less than a second.
The new White Night that I created now had a stable demonic skeleton that was continuously enduring the limit refinement of that White Night.
“Converge!”
And at the same time as my will, the bones of that polyhedron were condensed into a single point at once.
Of course, the refinement aura of Shimin White Nights within it exceeded its refinement limit and began to create new auras.
Woo woo woo-
However, soon the frame collapsed and the flash of the white night disappeared.
“Is tens of seconds still too much?”
Although it was a little regretful. There was nothing to be disappointed about.
At this moment, I created a new technique that surpassed even the Grand Master.
I will reign as the ruler of this land. It was the first step as a Shinryong.
After a while, the top commanders of each camp gathered in my barracks.
“Meet Count Julian.”
“Meet Your Highness Julian.”
Remiella and Aitekkia of the Western Demon Lord Army. And Lantea of the Southern Demon King Army. Even Lyles of the 5th Corps of the Imperial Army.
Receiving their greetings, I shouted at them.
“From now on, you will not belong to each other, but will be together as an island ally.”
