anwhile, mbeli’s eyes also filled with confusion.
The whole situation was beyond his understanding.
mbeli couldn’t figure it out.
His attack had successfully gone through the enemy, destroying her heart. So why was this black-haired girl still standing there like nothing happened, while he and Heretia were badly hurt out of nowhere?
She hadn’t done a thing!
"What’s going on here?"
"You! What did you do?!"
mbeli howled hysterically at the black-haired girl.
Though as a peak level 8 powerhouse, even if he lost his heart, mbeli could still use magic to create a makeshift one to sustain his body while awaiting regeneration. However, because he had put all his strength into his Spear, he had no energy left to sustain his badly injured body.
mbeli felt as though he could faintly see the path of the underworld.
Either way, he had charged forward prepared to risk the obliteration of his soul. In such a situation, he might as well go all-in against the enemy!
In that mont,
mbeli’s eyes turned bloodshot. Ignoring the red butterflies swarming around him and the searing pain in his chest, he took a deep breath and released all the pent-up magical power in the Dragon King Spear, ready for mutual destruction.
He aid to penetrate the enemy’s defenses with his Spear, going through the black-haired girl’s body.
Then, by detonating the power within the Spear, he would channel a massive amount of energy into the girl’s body, destroying this terrible Demon from inside.
This was the ultimate goal of mbeli and Heretia.
...
However,
Just as mbeli was gritting his teeth, waiting for the black-haired girl to explode, the Dragon King made an incredibly despairing discovery...
After releasing the violent power contained within his Spear...
Nothing happened...
The expected explosion didn’t occur. The black-haired girl still looked at mbeli calmly, almost mocking him.
"This... this... this cannot... uh... huh?!"
Before mbeli could finish speaking, his eyes widened in surprise.
A sudden burst of intense heat started spreading through his chest, making his body inflate like a balloon.
’What?!’
’How…?!’
The next mont,
Overwheld with shock, anger, and despair, mbeli was consud by a wave of destructive energy bursting inside his body. He exploded into pieces, scattering his remains across the sky.
And mbeli’s consciousness plunged into endless darkness.
This was all mbeli rembered from the battle that took place eight hundred years ago.
…..
.....
...…..
Back to the present,
As his consciousness detached from his mories, a fragnt of mbeli’s soul hurriedly suppressed his inner fear and anxiety.
After emitting a brief but intense wave of spiritual energy,
Around the Golden Sphere,
The golden dragon eyes, which represented mbeli’s will, also started to settle. The tense mood inside the palace began to calm down. When he saw Vinarola, the headmaster who’d managed to get up from the ground, the anger in mbeli’s eyes started to dissipate.
’Sigh, what’s the point of getting angry at her?’
mbeli thought to himself, sowhat sarcastically.
After all, the headmaster worshipped him and had no knowledge of what had occurred eight hundred years ago. Her suggestion was only natural.
.
In the eyes of his followers and admirers, he was still the unmatched Dragon King, whose legend continued to thrive across the continent. The devastating battle in the North was virtually unknown.
’I was too impatient,’ mbeli thought, feeling a bit guilty.
He looked helplessly at Vinarola.
Since he had been blown up rather than eaten by the blood butterflies, his soul hadn’t been completely destroyed like his other two companions. And the black-haired girl hadn’t ticulously cleaned the battlefield after the war.
A few fragnts of his soul had been summoned and reassembled by the dragon tribe’s rituals, attaching themselves to the Dragon Soul Stone, thus forming the current Dragon King’s Heart.
Although he had retained his consciousness and managed to linger in this world, he could only reside within this Dragon heart Stone, completely unable to communicate with the outside world.
Well,
If you could call it communication, it would only be releasing his aura.
mbeli, who couldn’t communicate, naturally couldn’t inform his followers of the details of that great battle. He couldn’t warn the world about the horrifying creature lurking in the Frozen Forest. If his followers and those charlatans of the Church of knew about it, they wouldn’t dare make such an outrageous request.
Although he longed for a new body to escape this prison-like place, if the cost of rebirth was facing that creature again, mbeli would reject it without hesitation.
Centuries of bitter life within the Dragon heart stone had extinguished the fiery spirit in his heart.
He wouldn’t rush into a life-and-death struggle for justice as he did eight hundred years ago. For the current mbeli, the purpose of a new life was to enjoy it, not to follow a bunch of church fools into Winter Forest to et his end.
Having experienced utter despair and death, he had no desire to feel that sense of helplessness again.
Moreover,
"Banish the abyssal demons? Save the world?"
mbeli couldn’t help but question this narrative the church was peddling.
After going through that intense battle, mbeli started to have doubts. He began to think that the Demon they had faced might not just be so lackey minion of Demon Lord. it Could actually be the Demon Lord himself from the legends, the one defeated by the goddess in the North. This Demon, good-looking as it was, clearly had the terrifying power to wipe out the entire world.
So why hadn’t this Demon shown herself to the world yet? How have all the different powers on Ancita survived up to this point?
mbeli speculated that although the goddess didn’t completely eradicate the Demon Lord, she may have imposed so limitations on her—perhaps restricting her to Winter Forest?
Or maybe, That girl only attacks those who pose a threat? Wasn’t their group targeted because of Anze’s reckless attack, which triggered a terrifying retaliation from that creature? Before Anze attacked, both he and the black-haired girl had no reaction at all…
Regardless of the speculation, the bottom line was clear: As long as he didn’t provoke that Demon, he would be safe.
