Epilogue – Spreading Dragon Disaster – Part 4
[MY CHILDREN! MY DEAR, BELOVED CHILDREN……!!! I WON’T FORGIVE YOU! I WILL NOT FORGIVE YOU FOR THIS TRANSGRESSION……!!!!!!]
[GEHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! And what it wrong with that? Are you going to condemn the elephant for crushing the maggots beneath its feet as well?]
[That’s right, that’s right! Well said, my brother! It does not matter who or what they are, or how you decide to prepare them! If they have no value to their lives whatsoever, then becoming the fertilizer for the other maggots and the ground itself is the best thing that could have happened to them!]
Those giants were much bigger than ordinary people. And to top it all off, they were wielding armor and weapons that were severely oversized as well, almost as huge as the giants themselves. And right about now the sheer power of their size could be seen in full display here.
The dragon was all alone. There were two giants standing in front of it. Flying between the two like golden sparks was something that could only be described as pure and unadulterated murderous intent. Additionally, there was a couple of smaller white dragons crawling at the feet of the huge white dragon, all wounded and cowering in fear. It was those dragons who were the target of the two giant’s attacks.
[My friend, gaze upon this! The way in which my partner, my “Claymore Baldon” takes lives away with ease and little to no effort! Is it not simply amazing!?]
[Indeed, my friend! It is quite amazing! But gaze upon this! Burn it into your brain! The way in which my own “Iron Fist’s Amber Egg” does what it was meant to do is by no means worse than your own weapon!]
A large sword flies towards the White Dragon, who had to use all of its willpower in order to stay in place, taking the blow without trying to evade it. If it did evade it, one of the smaller dragons would have surely suffered death by that weapon instead.
However……
At that exact same moment, the spear flew past the white dragon, cutting one of the smaller dragons, effectively cleaving it in half. And that was putting it lightly. For in this situation, the word “explode” into blood and viscera would have been the more adequate description.
[MY CHILDREN! MY PRECIOUS LITTLE CHILDREN! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING, YOU WRETCHES!? I AM Not GOING TO FORGIVE YOU! I AM GOING TO KILL EVERY SINGLE LAST ONE OF YOU!!!]
[Huh? Guahahahahahaha!!! What do you mean? We are taking out the trash! Those little weaklings are trash! That is what they get for quivering in fear behind you all the time, rather than standing up for themselves!]
[But to do something like that with nothing more but a Claymore! Tell me, brother, is it not hard to do something like that on your own, with a weapon like that?]
[Hmm, now that you mention it, it really is like that! I was just about to say that on my own! Umu, umu! But still…… That is hardly going to be enough. All that hacking, all that slashing, and my weapon is yet to reach the level of a Heroic Weapon…… Oh well, I guess it cannot really be helped. We are done here for now. Now, let us retreat and run away for now!]
The end of this conflict could have only been one here. Dragon Slayer Giants may be powerful and tenacious, but they are just that. They have no trump card or abilities that would allow them to bring down a grown up dragon, especially the one that was now enraged. Now when there was only two of them. But even though they concluded that escape was their only option, their fighting spirit would not diminish in the slightest. So even if they were to go down here, they were not going to make it easy for their enemy. They were going to make it work for it.
[Alright, we shall take our leave for now. But make no mistake, vermin! We are going to be back here again! Untill then……!]
[WAIT! I WON’T LET YOU GET AWAY WITH THIS! YOU’RE GOING TO PAY! I’M GOING TO KILL YOU!!! I’M GOING TO RIP YOU ALL TO SHREADS!!!!!!]
And just like that, today’s battle of Giants against the Dragon concluded. But it was going to continue. Tomorrow. And then the day after tomorrow as well. And then the next day and the next day. Because that was the way in which they could fulfill the ancient promise from the days now long passed. And because it is only through battle that they could all feel that they were truly alive.
THE TIME THAT THE BLACK DRAGON HAS BEEN WAITING FOR FOR SO LONG IS NOW AT HAND, FOR THAT IS THE PROOF.
[Kuh…… Now, this does not look too good…… At this rate it is going to break through!]
[God damn it, even though this thing is a Dragon, it did something that a Boss Character would not shy away from doing during the last battle! That damned Dragon surely likes to do things in an asshole kind of a way.]
[Reinforcements are already on their way! What the, geh! It’s a freaking Cerberus Tyranno coming this way!!!]
The Tank players that were forming their defense lines were all blown away in a manner of seconds. Then a monster bearing a striking resemblance to the Tyranosaurus Rex breaks through the Tank players, each of its three heads bending backwards as an ear-shattering roar is being released from them all at once. In response, another line of players form a defensive line in a hurry.
However, that line was something that a three-headed dinosaur…… Dracarus Dino Cerberus did not need concern itself with. They would be unable to stop it even if they tried. And right now it was more than willing to show that even the best raid boss subjugation party would not be enough to best its might.
[It’s just as if this black lizard was mocking us! Like it was saying that there is no way that we are even worth of getting torn apart by its claws! Is this thing flexing on us!? It is, isn’t it!?]
[And besides, a monster leading a Monster Train? Is it not too cheesy, even for a video game!?]
[Hoo? For some lowly worms, you surely like to bark a whole lot. Very well, then. If you wish to get trampled flat by me personally, I am going to humor you just this once.]
At the same time, the coastal city that the Pioneers adopted as their base of operations here in the New World, even though well-fortified and well-equipped, was being utterly destroyed.
And it was all because of the monsters that the Black Dragon Noirlind brought here with itself. Also, while the city was burning and players were being killed, the very same black Dragon was throwing ridicules and profanities towards humans, mocking their weakness and vulnerability.
[Hmph…… Weak, so pathetically weak! Weak maggots such as you should just drop dead on the spot, or beg me on your knees for me to spare you and let you become my slaves!]
[Oh yeah!? You’d better not come to regret those words in the future! You cheeky lizard! “Flame Bre”…… Kyah!!]
If this attack was only a one time occurrence by Noirlind alone, the players would have been able to repel it, albeit not without their share of difficulties.
However, having to repel Noirlind and having to defend the town from the monsters it has brought with itself at the same time…… That was a task that the first wave of newly arrived Pioneer players was not prepared for. At all.
[IS THAT LITTLE SHELL THE THING IN WHICH YOU HAVE COME HERE? THEN I WONDER…… WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I WERE TO BREAK IT APART!?]
[Oh shit…… This thing is targeting the ship! We must stop it at once! Everyone who can get in its way, do so right now!]
Something started to gather inside of the Black Dragon’s mouth. That thing was the Dragon Breath, a special attack of dragons that could incinerate any player without a trace, and it would certainly cause a fatal damage to the unprotected flank of the ship that was anchored in the town’s harbor.
The player that happened to attract Noirlind’s attention all of a sudden got trampled by the hybrid of triceratops and a horse that jumped on them from the side.
That way, with all obstables now out of the way, the ball of flames released from Noirlind’s mouth goes straight towards the Pioneer players’ vessel……
[I must say, even thought there is a huge gap between us, that persistence of yours is nothing short of a first class…… Noirlind.]
The ball of flames did not reached its mark.
The moment before the Dragon’s Breath managed to reach its target, a mass of golden scales landed in its way, and upon impact, that Dragon Breath dissipated like a puff of smoke, without causing any harm to anything. Then the clouds dispersed as if banished by the gust of a powerful wind.
[OHHHH…… OOOHHHH! THIS GOLDEN COLOR, IT’S GRANDOUS APPEARANCE! I SHALL NEVER FORGET IT! I SHALL NEVER FORGET IT! HOW COULD I FORGET THE HUMILIATION I HAVE SUFFERED FROM YOU!? EVEN IF I CONTINUE TO BE REVIVED OVER AN OVER AGAIN, THERE IS NO WAY THAT I WOULD FORGET IT!!!]
[Hmph…… Well, is it not a cheeky line, coming from a mere parasite that eats away at the expense of the world? And for such parasite to claim that he is standing at the absolute top?]
[SI…… SIEGWURM!!!!!! YOU……!!!!!!]
The black dragon stomped on the half-dead person, killing them on the spot. Was it simply by accident? Or was it an act of mercy?
It was at this moment that the Golden Dragon King made an appearance, protecting the vessel with which the Pioneers arrived in the New World, and that simultaneously served as their precious save point here in the New World.
AND THUS, THE GOLDEN DRAGON KING LETS OUT A DEEP SIGH. OH HUMANS, YOUR ONLY HOPE IS TO BE ABLE TO BEST ME, TO GO BEYOND ME. AND JUST LIKE THAT……
