Chapter 405: Episode 77 – Final Dragon (2)
[‘The 4th Wall’ is violently reacting!]
The prior generation’s Apocalypse Dragon flew up and generated a storm of Fables. My vision continued to waver precariously as I wobbled about like a scarecrow without a pole to hold up.
In the blink of an eye, the creature reached high up in the air and screeched out a mighty howl, seemingly killing every other noise existing in the world at the sa ti. The heads of the Incarnation Bodies exploded, and the Constellations in the battlefield began vomiting out Fables while covering their ears.
Tsu-chuchuchuchu....
The parts of the sky where the Apocalypse Dragon flew by were torn apart to reveal a jet-black hole.
Other Dragons flying around in sheer confusion ran away in terror, while so of them who didn’t know their place rushed in only to beco bloody sacks of at after getting brushed by the Apocalypse Dragon’s wings.
In the centre of that chaotic sky, the ‘Abyssal Black Fla Dragon’ was waiting for the Apocalypse Dragon to arrive.
[Constellation, ‘Abyssal Black Fla Dragon’, is staring at its enemy.]
It roared out and charged at the Apocalypse Dragon. The two mighty creatures got into a tangle and began a deadly battle in the sky.
However, rather than calling it a battle, it was closer to being fisticuffs between an adult and a fifteen-year-old kid, instead.
[Constellation, ‘Abyssal Black Fla Dragon’, is enraged!]
It was several sizes larger than every other Dragon, yet when compared to its current opponent, it simply looked like a little hatchling.
“You better not lose!! If you do, I’m gonna kill you!”
Fables stread out from Han Su-Yeong’s figure as she cheered for her sponsor. Her Great Fables were telling their stories for the sake of her sponsor right now.
“The most destructive apocalypse! The deepest abyss! I’ll say all those words as many tis as you want, so don’t lose!! Please!!”
As if to answer her calls, the ‘Abyssal Black Fla Dragon’ spewed out a powerful Breath.
Other Dragons struck by the attack fell like burning kites. It was almost as if the entire sky was covered in the black flas.
[You’re indeed a powerful Dragon. Before I went to sleep, there was no one like you.]
[Don’t make laugh, you geezer. I didn’t descend to this place just to hear your kkondae-like rubbish.]
[It seems that I need to fix your poor manners sowhat.]
The Apocalypse Dragon dodged the Breath with a flapping of its wings and went on the counter-offensive. It was so fast that there was no ti to even think about evading it.
Shu-wuoooo....
The Black Fla Dragon was quick-witted enough to dodge that, however. It literally transford into a 15-year-old boy in an instant and through the Dragon Voice magic, activated [teor Strike].
The Apocalypse Dragon was struck by the falling pieces of rocks and beca enraged.
[....Polymorph? You were the sa as the rest of them.]
[Screw you! You also polymorphed earlier too, geezer!]
[That is not what a pure Dragon should do.]
The Black Fla Dragon reverted back to his original form and roared out. [I will live the way I want to! Whether it’s as a human or an Orc, it’s my choice!]
[You seem to be a lacking candidate to represent all Dragons.]
Sparks danced wildly as the battle of biting and slashing continued on.
The Apocalypse Dragon silently absorbed the Black Fla Dragon’s attacks and eventually, its jaw slowly split open wide. The latter began charging up its Breath as well.
A clash of a Breath against another Breath; thick, heavy breaths made out of black flas collided with the Apocalypse Dragon’s crimson flas.
In the ensuing mont, the colours of the sky changed instantly, followed by the kind of heat that made think there was a burning sun right in front of my eyes.
Although spectacular, I couldn’t stand there and admire the sight. Reincarnators that couldn’t withstand the intense heat turned into piles of ashes as the scenes of flas dancing entrancingly engraved themselves deeply into their minds.
[Great Fable, ‘Final Dragon of the Book of Revelation’, has selected its ‘Final Dragon’.]
The Abyssal Black Fla Dragon was the most eligible candidate to beco the Final Dragon currently. But, if you flip that around, it also ant that it was still not the ‘Final Dragon’.
[The victor has been decided in the ‘Dragon’s Festival’.]
From below the churning crimson clouds, a creature powerlessly fell down to the ground.
“Black Fla Dragon!”
Its wing skin was on fire, and its body had suffered several tears. As it fell, its eyes were locked on , conveying its words as if it was thoroughly unhappy about this outco.
⸢Ah, ah... So, I guess it was too much of an ask, fighting with only one hand.... I’ll leave the rest up to you, boy.⸥
This developnt was exactly the sa as the storyline from the original that I knew.
The previous generation’s Apocalypse Dragon possessed the power that rivalled a consummate-level Myth-grade Constellation. And that Dragon would evolve into a Calamity that surpassed far beyond the previous Status this ti around.
Han Su-Yeong spat out another mouthful of blood and angrily shouted at . “Damn it.... Kim Dok-Ja!! This wasn’t a part of your plan!”
“It’s going according to the original story.”
“What does that even an?! Are things going well or not??”
I heard Yu Jung-Hyeok’s ssage coming in from behind.
Constellations were busy gathering right behind him. They were all staring at the sky with stupefied faces.
Ku-gugugugu!
The humongous fra of the Dragon that seed to have sucked in all the light in this world began gathering the Probability of the .
[Just what is that.....?]
The Apocalypse Dragon’s revival was already set in stone. A scenario needed an incident, and this creature was that incident itself. As long as the willed for an incident to happen, its revival was a guaranteed thing.
Back in the original story, several varied attempts were made to stop its revival, but not one of them succeeded.
There was a reason why I stuck around searching for the Apocalypse Dragon even though I knew that; why I chatted to it regarding the Fables featuring Dragons, and even why the Abyssal Black Fla Dragon sacrificed its Status to continue with the battle it was certain to lose; all of those were to... to buy us more ti.
[Great Fable, ‘Final Dragon of the Book of Revelation’, has begun its storytelling!]
The smartphone inside my inner pocket began buzzing noisily and emitting light at that mont.
⸢The Calamity from the Book of Revelation opened its eyes within the hottest place in Hell.⸥
It seed that the Apocalypse Dragon’s revival was supposed to happen even within the final revised version sent by tls123.
⸢Dragons that lost their lives within the extrely difficult Fable roared on, and....⸥
⸢The crimson season of the apocalypse in full swing has co knocking.⸥
The falling Dragons cried out in sorrow. The countless score of them, sacrificed to the Fable and beca frozen in nas only after even their souls were ripped away from them, were paying their reverence towards their king.
On the other side of the sky, I saw tatron and Asmodeus; it seed that the conference venue’s battle had ended just then.
tatron spoke while looking up at the humongous body of the Apocalypse Dragon.
[You have finally co, oh, Evil Dragon of Harmagedon....]
The Evil Dragon of the Great Fable, [Harmagedon]; although it was the symbol of Evil once upon a ti, even the Most Ancient Evil couldn’t bear the weight of this primal evil.
And that very Evil Dragon was looking down at the Constellations of ‘Good and Evil’ in an aloof manner.
[Oh, aged Fables. It’s now ti to uphold the promise of Armageddon.]
The air exploded violently and the Apocalypse Dragon’s giant fra pierced straight through the atmosphere. An unbelievable amount of sparks danced outside the sky where the creature had disappeared.
[The Main Scenario is being updated!]
[Calamity’s Probability has exceeded the scenario’s limit.]
[Scenario’s difficulty is automatically being adjusted.]
[Scenario befitting the Calamity’s difficulty is being reassigned.]
I knew that would happen. If I rembered correctly, the ‘Apocalypse Dragon’ was the 85th main scenario’s Calamity back in the original storyline. And the ‘Great War of Saints and Demons’ was the 80th.
[Scenario jump has occurred!]
[Calamity’s difficulty is abnormally high.]
[Due to the excessive scenario jump, abnormal conditions have developed in your Incarnation Body.]
....
.......
.......
[89th Main Scenario is starting.]
Type: Main
Difficulty: Indeterminable
Clear Condition: Defend against the ‘Calamity of the Book of Revelation’.
Ti Limit: Applicable scenario does not have a ti limit.
Reward: Great Fable related to ‘Final Dragon of the Book of Revelation’, ???
Failure: Destruction of the will accelerate.
* This scenario will be divided into different phases. Refer to the System ssages for more info and prepare for the Calamity.
I calmly read the scenario ssages.
....89th scenario, was it.
The scenario’s number was higher than compared to the original storyline. The thing was, the later it got in the scenarios, the higher the amount of Probability being allowed.
aning, the Apocalypse Dragon about to descend would be stronger than when it appeared in the original story.
[Calamity warning is ringing throughout the entirety of !]
[Soon, the revived Apocalypse Dragon will start its actions.]
[Every region within the will now be considered the location of the 89th scenario.]
“Dok-Ja-ssi, we’ve brought them all.”
I looked back to find Jeong Hui-Won and , plus the Constellations that followed us.
Only a few hours ago, they were busy fighting each other; these were now our new allies that Yu Jung-Hyeok managed to rally together while the Black Fla Dragon and I managed to buy us so ti.
[My apologies. We didn’t gather as many as we thought.]
Dionysus scratched the back of his head in embarrassnt. Constellations from stood behind him.
The ‘Goddess of Love and Beauty’, Aphrodite.
The ‘Atrocious War God’, Ares.
The ‘Spokeswoman of Justice and Wisdom’, Athena.
The ‘Master of Skywalk’, Hers.
The ‘Volcanic Blacksmith’, Hephaistos.
The ‘Pure Moonlight’s Hunter’, Artemis.....
They were folks responsible for creating ‘Gigantomachia’ with us.
[I did call Father and the fish uncle, but....]
The ‘Lightning Throne’ Zeus or the ‘Spear that Draws the Boundaries of the Sea’ Poseidon didn’t seem to have joined us. When looking back to the splendour the Myth-grade Constellations exhibited back in ‘Gigantomachia’, it sure was quite a regretful thing.
[This isn’t going to be enough, right?]
“If I’m being honest, then.... Yes, it is.”
was indeed powerful, but it was still impossible to stop the Apocalypse Dragon with only these people. If the ‘First Tail-Flick’ was exactly as described in the original story, then our current combat force would barely get to survive the first impact wave of that tail.
And then, I heard soone else’s true voice.
[My old comrades say that they shall aid you, ‘Demon King of Salvation’.]
Blinding rays of light ford from the northern sky.
[Constellations of the Nebula, , have incarnated into the scenario!]
Several Constellations broke past the thick clouds accompanied by the rapturous flas and made their entrance. The mont I saw their exterior appearances, pages of the ‘Ways of Survival’ flipped open all on their own in my head.
I expected to run into them sooner or later, but I certainly didn’t think we’d et like this under the current circumstances.
The ‘God-King of Yakshas’, Kubera.
The ‘Purifying Flas’, Agni.
And on top of that, even the ‘Unending Storm’, Vayu.
They were all Fable-grade Constellations affiliated with ‘lokapala’ of , alongside the ‘Supre God of Light’, Surya.
[Where is the bastard nad Apocalypse Dragon?]
[We now have a chance to acquire a pretty decent Fable after a long while.]
[Indra’s wounds were too severe and he couldn’t co.]
This was only the beginning.
[Constellations of the Nebula, , have incarnated into the scenario!]
From the eastern skies...
[Constellations of the Nebula, , have incarnated into the scenario!]
And then, from the western skies....
[Constellations of the Nebula, , have incarnated into the scenario!]
[Constellations of the Nebula, , have incarnated into the scenario!]
.....
One-ti enemy Constellations were gathering together in front of the Star Stream’s Calamity.
Yu Jung-Hyeok, Han Su-Yeong, and the companions of stood close to as the blindingly bright stars continued to incarnate next to us. They all carried tense expressions.
“There’s no need to be so timid, everyone. We’re one of them, after all.”
For sure, the gazes of the Constellations looking at us were different compared to the past. If the eyes staring at us back when had been created were close to contempt and disdain, they were much closer to jealousy and envy now.
had reached this far with our own strengths. And again, we’d reach the ‘Final Scenario’ with our own powers.
After the Constellations of the regional conflicts that hadn’t yet entered the great battlefield joined us, the overall number easily surpassed five hundred.
Unfortunately, there was a problem with the ntality of the newly-joining folks.
[A Great Fable just because of a single Dragon? What a profitable business opportunity this is.]
[All of you, scram. Our Nebula shall hunt the Apocalypse Dragon down.]
[Nope, that Apocalypse Dragon shall be hunted down by none other than us, .]
[Surya, will you give us a ride to that Apocalypse Dragon?]
Surya heard them yapping away and ford a dumbfounded expression. [Have you all lost your minds? Didn’t you witness what happened just now?]
[Ah, ah. We all saw the scenario’s weird ‘direction’.] It was the ‘Morning Star Goddess’, Vakarine, who said that as she entered the conflict zone. [It’s simply not possible for one asly little monster to possess a Status as ridiculous as that, Surya. Maybe, you were in need of extra coins after exiting ?]
[We were not acti....]
[It seems that the train’s conductor is scared today, so us alone should start the conquest, then.]
Not every Constellation in the knew what the Apocalypse Dragon was. The last ti it revived was already tens of thousands of years ago, that was why.
A certain myth would co across as just another story from the distant past even to Constellations. The length of ti was more than sufficient enough for those who survived the Calamity, and those born after it, to forget all about it.
tatron spoke as if to warn them. [You must all compose yourselves first. Acting individually is inadvisable, everyone. That Apocalypse Dragon is....]
[You, shut up and stay out of this. The whole ‘Great War of Saints and Demons’ Fable went down the drain because of your actions.]
As if it was waiting for this mont, the System ssage rang out once more.
[‘Final Dragon of the Book of Revelation’ has started its actions!]
Fin.
