The Valley of the Dead
Leon freed the dragons.
He released the handcuff artifacts that were holding them back and gave them an antidote to the magic potion that made them unusable.
However, the dragons could not do anything even after regaining their strength.
If Leon wants to, the dragons can’t be unharmed in front of him.
No matter how many thousands of years or even a dragon with a lifespan of 10,000 years, it does not mean that he is detached from death.
On the contrary, the longer we live, the more obsessive we become about life.
For them, the experience of death was terrifying.
In addition, Leon’s ability to resurrect from the dead and to perform magic that reversed time was beyond shock to the point of collapse.
And after recommending the dragons to take the form of human beings with polymorphs, Leon gathered them together and explained what they were doing.
“For that reason, I came to the Lispia continent. Does any of you have any idea what the demons are planning here?”
The dragons shut their mouths and looked at each other.
As long as the situation is like this, I want to show a cooperative attitude toward Leon as much as possible and sever ties with him, but I don’t know anything about it.
I don’t know anything but how about you? An uncomfortable atmosphere of exchanging glances flowed through the left.
Then a dragon carefully raised his hand.
Yuryong (幼龍), in human form, was a young hatchling who had not yet reached the age of 10.
“I have seen demons wandering around this area. But I don’t care what they came to the Lispia continent to do, and it’s annoying…”
Leon sighed.
The selfish nature of the dragons really hit the level.
As demons were discovered in the land of dragons, Lispia, they were not interested and bothered, so they were left unattended.
Isn’t it a way of thinking that it’s not just me?
Since he’s still a young dragon, it can’t be said that he didn’t know the circumstances.
As a dragon, he may still be young, but there is no doubt that he is also a being who has lived for hundreds of years.
“Tell me right away. If we could figure out where they were working, it would be a great help in guessing their purpose.”
“I don’t know exactly where they’re heading, but when I found them they were heading north.”
“North? What is there?”
At Leon’s question, the dragons were united and fell into trouble with their chins on their heads.
“To the north of here, there is a rare land dragon Aseria.”
“But the demons probably don’t think they will be able to convince the dragon.”
“Because Aseria-san is famous for being stubborn even among dragons.”
“Other than that, it’s about a canyon.”
“gorge?”
When Leon showed interest, the dragons responded.
“It’s a canyon of death.”
According to the dragons’ explanations, when dragons reach the end of their lifespan or are injured at an irreversible level, they usually die in secret in a predetermined place.
great dragon.
perfect creature.
That’s why he thinks he doesn’t want to show other people his death, the most vulnerable moment of his life.
Above all, dragon corpses are very valuable.
However, dragons with high self-esteem cannot think well of having their corpses poked by other people’s desires after they die.
Therefore, just before death, in a place no one sees, he releases all of his dragon heart’s magic and disintegrates his body, leading to extinction.
The Valley of Death was the tomb of the dragons that were contracted with each other by unwritten rules among the dragons due to the habits of such dragons.
This space was created with the intention of not committing rude acts such as approaching and observing the dying person, as they will disappear secretly from this place when it is time to die.
“If the demons are there, that might explain why the dragons did not witness the demons.”
But I can’t understand.
Death Valley is said to be a dragon’s grave, but you can’t get anything useful from it.
As I said, just before the dragon dies, all the magical power that is sleeping in the dragon heart is released, and the dragon heart left after they die is just a simple crystal,
The dragon’s body is made of soul matter and is maintained by the magical energy emitted from the dragon’s heart.
Therefore, when all the magical powers of the Dragon Heart are released, the soul material that makes up the body will be decomposed and disappear without a trace within a few hours after the dragon dies.
Leon thought for a moment, then suddenly raised his head.
“No. Although it releases all magical powers, it doesn’t mean that the Dragon Heart disappears.”
Of course, if the Dragon Heart does not have magical power, it is just a simple manastone crystal, a vacancy.
However, there is one more way for demons to use it.
“The power of immortality.”
The dragon heart is the core of the dragon’s soul.
If so, it may be possible to restore their souls even with vacancies that do not have that function with all their magical energy.
It may be possible to resurrect dragons as undead using it.
At Leon’s guess, the dragons frowned at once.
“It’s an unpleasant story.”
Despite the fact that they can die peacefully at the end of a life that makes the mind of ten thousand years far away, their pride does not allow it.
The demons are trying to erase everything they have from the world and try to use the dragons that have come to an end in an effective way.
From a dragon’s point of view, it must be a terrible disaster.
To be used even after your own soul dies.
To be called a subordinate of a demon or something and to be used at will.
“If that is true, then as a dragon, I cannot stand still.”
At Ignia’s words, the other dragons nodded their heads solemnly.
Like selfish dragons, they never moved to protect the dignity of the dragon race.
However, even after the death of the dragon, if the demons know that they are trying to use the corpse by force, then if they let it go, the demons will continue to repeat the same thing even after their death.
So, in order not to be used by the demons after he died, it was necessary to set an example for the demons now.
What will happen if you use the dragon’s death?
“Just let me help you this one time.”
“okay. It’s annoying to intervene in the petty things the demons are doing, but I can’t forgive you for this.”
In the end, all 10 dragons, including Ignia, promised to help Leon fight the demons.
Soon after, they unraveled the polymorph, manifested in their true form, and began to fly around the sky.
“This is truly spectacular…”
The wizards of Veritas who followed Leon at that scene were genuinely admiring that the dragons followed themselves because they were as big as Leon.
The commanders of the foreign countries who had brought their troops to the continent of Lispia to hunt the dragon were merely sighing.
Since things started to go like this, I couldn’t touch the dragon anymore.
And people’s awe for the existence of Leon, who simply persuaded the dragons to deal with them, grew even more.
“Now, the Veritas Empire, no, the existence of an individual named Leon has become a kind of sanctuary that no one can invade.”
“I hope that even the dragons called the masses of pride are subdued and dealt with.”
“The history of the future will revolve around the Emperor Leon.”
“If this is history, then that category would be a myth.”
A legendary creature, an archmage who led countless dragons and stood up to fight the demons.
If you have only outstanding abilities, you cannot have the title of Shinhwa in your personal history.
If someone talks about their saga as a myth, the Holy Empire will not forgive it.
But that target was none other than Leon.
A new race of people who have been recognized as divine by the Seven Gods with a human body.
Leon’s history was becoming a myth engraved in the world in name and reality.
Leon delivered the information that he had discovered the demonic schemes to each unit that had supplied radio artifacts, and ordered them to convene.
As a result, the gathered troops were at a loss for words as they watched the dragons roaming the sky proudly.
After confirming that most of the troops had gathered, a light wheel floated above Leon’s head and flew away with the wings sprouting from dragon flowers.
There were already signs of change in the gorge of the dying man who was guided by the dragons.
“This magic wave is…”
not one or two
at least thirty.
More than 30 dragons had returned from death, and their ferocious magic was boiling over.
Leon frowned.
“I would say it’s fortunate.”
Over the past few thousand years, the number of dragons that have died in the Valley of Death is said to have surpassed the spirit of death.
Observing the demons that the mermaid visited on the Lispia continent,
Sahara reported it,
Inform the world through Congress,
It took several months until the troops from all continents gathered and dispatched to the Lispia continent.
No matter how much the Demon Lord Duke who serves the immortal demon, it is not easy to resurrect them as undead when they become dragons.
Now, only 30 undead dragons were raised, but if Leon and the troops following him had been a little later, he might have had to encounter hundreds of undead dragons that exceeded dozens. It was a dangerous situation.
Whew——!
Dragon Fear erupts from the hordes of undead dragons who have lost their sanity.
Leon approaching, and feeling the presence of the troops following Leon, the undead dragons began to spit out their ferocity.
and fly away
The undead dragons were in a state where only their skeletons were formed now with biometric information restored from the dragon heart.
But that’s enough.
As they flapped their bare bones, magical energy swirled around them, and the formed anti-gravity lifted their bodies in the air, and soon a breath made of gravitational waves began to emanate from their open jaws.
A dragon breath that 30 undead dragons deploy at the same time.
Even the ten dragons who followed Leon and came all the way to this place were in a situation beyond their imagination, and at that moment, only Leon came forward and held out his hand.
“Divine Astrafe Blast.”
The mass decay phenomenon of gravitational waves emitted at the speed of light is canceled.
No, beyond the offset, the aftermath swept through the undead dragon.
The skeletons of the undead dragons made of soul matter are cracked, and some of them are broken.
Among them, the three guys that were placed in the front of it were to the point of losing consciousness as they were.
[·······I know it is strong, but this is amazing.]
Without the help of the dragons, a human alone would have canceled all the breaths emitted by the 30 undead dragons.
Dragon’s breath is gravitational waves.
In other words, it cannot be offset by simple physical force.
The thermal energy of gravitational radiation generated by gravitational waves may be enough to offset it, but it cannot eliminate the nature of gravitational waves that distort space-time.
However, Leon was able to offset the dragon’s breath as a 9-circle archmage who could handle the power of 4D space-time, not simply with power but as a principle.
“Whoop! Whoa, whoa…”
However, no matter how Leon understood the principle of the dragon’s breath and blocked its power at the source, it was by no means easy to offset all 30 breaths.
Through the Quantum Dive, the magical and mental power borrowed from the future was consumed.
“I need a break. If it were you, would you have the ability to buy time for me to recover my magic and mental power?”
[Sure.]
[I don’t care if I’m making time, but…]
[If they rest too long, we’ll get rid of them first.]
The dragons flew past Leon with confidence, but they would know.
No matter how undead the undead returned from the dead, their material was a dragon, that is, an old dragon, which had reached the end of its life span for ten thousand years.
The 10 dragons who decided to follow Leon were at the level of Jackie Chan.
The number of heads, of course, will be pushed back at that level.
But no problem.
Following the dragon on the ground, the armored giant and the mage armored titan, the Titan, began sprinting with Hercules and Prometheus at the forefront and plunged into the canyon.
Behind them, the wizards of Veritas, and the foreign soldiers who applied for this dispatch operation, were moving forward and forward, burning their will to die towards the rotting undead dragons.
