Chapter 74 Playing the 'Divine Comedy' of Destiny 5 - Moon Shadow
"...The dark smell I smell...is this here..."
The man with dark patterns all over his body broke the tranquility of this snow-white world with a hoarse tone, and then fixed his eyes on the girl not far away from him with a malicious downward gaze.
As the "Dragon King" who can easily dominate the world, he has only one purpose left over the course of time.
That is to destroy everything.
But while enjoying this process, there is another thing that can attract his attention.
——You can’t win, that’s not a monster that humans can contend with.
When this disappointing conclusion appeared in Gildarts' mind, he had already accepted the fact that this was no joke.
Although the mysterious girl whom I met by chance seemed ready to do something, and her magical power was outrageously exaggerated, it was still within the range that "humans" could achieve.
But what they are facing now is the natural enemy of the species.
While trembling uncontrollably, Gildas had vaguely guessed the identity of this humanoid monster.
But even so, he had no intention of giving up the hope of 'survival' just like that.
Because there are still "family members" waiting for him to return in the guild.
The warmth brought by the coat of arms on the chest spread to the whole body, and the shaking of the clenched fists stopped.
…
(...The magic power actually increased? What an amazing guy... He overcame the fear of death and exceeded his own limits...)
Giving heartfelt praise in her heart, the brown-haired girl who felt the change in the aura behind her was also happy to have such a reliable member in her guild.
Zera admitted that after breaking through before the battle, Gildarts definitely had strength comparable to any of the "Holy Ten" except the "Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgar".
But, that's all.
Such strength is still not enough to have an impact on the subsequent battle situation.
(If I practice it for a few more years, maybe Irene will find it difficult.)
(But now...)
The enemy in front of me is a black dragon named "Akunologia", which represents the end.
It is no exaggeration to say that he is the strongest in this world.
The reason why Zera didn't bring any companions here was because the number was meaningless. Even if Irene could cause some trouble to the black dragon, it would only be a drop in the bucket.
In addition to the power of the black dragon itself, it is also because of its ability to swallow all magic.
In other words, except for certain attacks with the 'Dragon Slayer' attribute, magic is useless against him.
However, having spent decades in this world, Zella now knows that this is not a 'comic story'. If there is no 'accident', the 'future' of the seven dragon slayers eight years later may not be certain.
Can destroy the black dragon that could even swallow time and space at that time.
So through Layla, the girl met Anna Heartfilia, the Celestial Spirit Mage who came to this world four hundred years ago and taught the young dragons their language and culture, and made this plan that took several years.
plan of.
Because Zera knows that "Akunologia" is particularly sensitive to "darkness".
This is a battle to block ‘self’!
"...Uncle...no...Gildarts, don't interfere in the next battle, just protect yourself."
"...Ha?! What are you still talking about at this time, I——!"
This big man has already made up his mind and is ready to make a big fuss, but now he is told not to interfere?
But before he could finish his words, he was blown away by the magical energy wave erupted by the girl.
"You——! Damn it!!"
Does this mean... to tell him to stay out of the way?!
Gildas slid backwards on the snow for a distance, stopped his attack and stared at the petite figure.
This was the first time for him to feel this kind of 'humiliation' of being unable to be protected...
Savoring the 'despair' he had brought, Acnologia laughed arrogantly when he saw the girl fighting for time for her companions to escape.
"...Ha, this is really unexpected. Does the 'Dragon King' who has ended countless eras still have such a 'considerate' side?"
Rumor has it that Acnologia doesn't bother to communicate at all when facing its prey, and will only treat it with contempt and toy until it is destroyed.
"Sure enough, you guys know my identity."
He smelled an unusual smell when he flew into this snow-capped mountain, and with the dark aura actively emitting to him, it was almost certain that this was a trap.
But who is he? He is the "Dragon King" who controls the end of this world and exists to destroy everything!
For four hundred years, countless so-called strong men tried to attack him, but in the end they all turned into roaring ashes.
He is standing here in human form just because what is in front of him is the second 'darkness' that can arouse his interest besides the black magician.
With a solemn contempt, the black dragon blew up the storm of fierce fighting.
"...Can you make me get serious?"
"...You will have an answer to this question soon."
The sound of pages turning was heard in the air.
A magic weapon stained by starlight appeared in the girl's hand.
——"Psalm of Mortal Sin·Pride"!
The invisible mental pressure appeared on Acnologia's body as if it were real. Four hundred years of sin caused the earth to sink layer by layer almost instantly.
"Interesting, is it spiritual magic that I haven't seen before?"
Feeling everything he was 'carrying', a sin that could make a person collapse in an instant, only made Acnologia smile even more wildly.
"Ha ha!"
"——!"
He laughed in response and made an upward gesture, and the ground under Zella's feet emitted countless dark lights.
An explosion that was enough to cause a landslide swallowed the girl's figure.
——"Mortal Sin Psalm·Gluttony"!
Weakening the enemy's attack effect instantly is the ability of "Gluttony".
Then.
The figure in the center of the explosion, who had protected his body with magic power, waved the magic item in his hand.
——"Sin Psalm: Anger"!
Dark magic filled Acnologia's eyes, and they began to glow with red and black light.
"...Does the illusion still have a corrosive atmosphere? Hahahahahaha!! It's all magic I've never seen before!"
"I see! Is this your trump card for challenging me, Acnologia?!"
In just a few breaths, Zera's ability in "Chapter 1: Original Sin" was revealed. Four hundred years of destruction also improved this black dragon's combat intuition to an appalling level.
However, this level is far from the so-called ‘trump card’…
After all, the battle of the ‘inhumans’ has just begun.
…
In the snow, the "Dragon King" launched a terrifying attack wantonly, destroying everything around him.
Above the sky, the girl sitting under the stars chuckled and looked up at the silver light in the clouds.
