-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Whether it was due to being burned by the flames or having his neck bitten properly, the body of the Samagoon that the Red Dragon Ignis was fighting slumped down.
Meanwhile,
Davian and Glacier attacked the Demon King in various ways.
However,
Davian's fire elemental magic,
Glacier's ice spikes,
Even the Spear of Authority, a gift from God to humans,
Failed to penetrate the sphere surrounding the Demon King.
Then,
Kuaaaa!
The Demon King shot out demonic energy.
The direction wasn't towards Davian and Glacier, who were constantly attacking him.
Davian turned his head.
He saw Ignis, who was holding one of the Samagoon in his mouth and flapping his large wings.
That was the direction the Demon King's demonic energy was headed.
Chwaak!
Davian, who had quickly flown, slashed at the Demon King's demonic energy.
The sphere surrounding the Demon King absorbed all attacks, preventing any significant effective hits.
However,
Davian was more powerful than ever before.
He had long surpassed the human realm.
Moreover, he was holding the Spear of Authority.
The Demon King's demonic energy was split in two by Davian.
Jjeojeok!
Glacier froze the demonic energy in mid-air, weakening it as it split in half.
As Davian became stronger, Glacier's influence in the human realm also grew much larger.
She was now able to draw most of the power from the spirit realm.
Davian turned his head again and looked at the Demon King.
"I know you're strong, but you don't seem very smart?"
"What are you talking about, human?"
"That attack just now. I think it would have been better not to do it."
The Demon King, realizing the meaning of Davian's words, looked towards Ignis.
The Red Dragon was still biting the Samagoon's neck, flapping its massive wings.
Kheuheuheu.
The Demon King's fishy laughter echoed.
"So? What are you going to do about it?"
Based on the battle patterns observed so far,
The three dragons were by no means losing to the Samagoon.
The most belligerent Red Dragon Ignis had already ended the Samagoon's lives several times.
'The Demon King is strong, but if Glacier and I work together, he's not someone we can't handle.'
It was just frustrating that the attacks weren't working.
However, Davian and Glacier weren't easily defeated by the Demon King either.
'A solution... appears.'
Ignis sank his teeth deep into the Samagoon's neck.
The slumped Samagoon, held in Ignis's mouth, was in a state where it couldn't die or be resurrected.
If all three Samagoon were in that state,
It might be possible to land an attack on the Demon King.
No.
It would be possible.
'So that's why the Demon King suddenly paid attention to that side.'
Now that he had found a way, it was time to execute it.
"Glacier! Take care of the Demon King for a moment."
"Okay, Davian."
A companion who could handle the number one in the Penrose Continent of the Demon Realm one-on-one.
It was only possible because it was Glacier, the top-tier spirit in the spirit realm.
Kuaaaa!
Jjeojeok!
While the Demon King and Glacier were showing off their tremendous power,
Davian quickly flew and explained the plan to the three dragons.
―You're saying to do as Ignis does? I have to sink my teeth into this dirty demon...
"There's no other way."
―...Understood.
"You have to make them defenseless with your breath first, then sink your teeth into their vitals."
―Understood.
Before long, the sun had risen high in the sky.
The battle that had started early in the morning had been going on for several hours already.
The ground was littered with the corpses of demons and humans.
Both sides were running out of stamina.
Fortunately, demons had stopped appearing at some point,
And gradually, the humans gained numerical superiority.
But there was still no room for complacency.
The situation in the air was no easier.
It had been confirmed that if the three Samagoon were put in a state of neither death nor life, the barrier protecting the Demon King's body would disappear.
The Demon King's sphere had disappeared twice so far.
But they had failed to inflict a fatal blow on the Demon King.
Even if the sphere barrier disappeared, it didn't mean the Demon King immediately became an easy opponent.
The Demon King, after blocking or evading Davian's attacks, chose to attack one of the three dragons right away,
And the dragon that had been subduing the Samagoon had no choice but to open its mouth, which was biting the Samagoon's neck, to dodge or retaliate against the Demon King's attack.
Kwadeuk!
Red Dragon Ignis's teeth sank deep into the Samagoon's neck.
Of course, he didn't forget to burn it to a crisp with his breath beforehand.
Tuwoong.
The sphere surrounding the Demon King's body disappeared.
The third opportunity had arrived.
"Glacier!"
Jjeojeok!
Glacier froze the air around the Demon King as it was.
An attempt to slow down the Demon King's movements.
It had been confirmed that the Demon King moved at tremendous speed when the sphere disappeared.
Uwoowoong.
The tip of the Spear of Authority held by Davian vibrated.
He gathered his inner power and magical power to 11 stars, and Davian floated in the air.
It was faster for Davian to shoot himself out than to send a mana sword.
Davian, with the Spear of Authority extended straight forward, launched his body.
'Shadow Assimilation!'
The dragons' stamina had been greatly reduced due to the continued battle.
They had to end it this time.
'Festival of Fire!'
Hwareureuk.
He activated all the skills he had.
From Davian's left hand, flames hotter than the breath spewed by Red Dragon Ignis blazed.
Davian, pouring out everything he had, shot out towards the Demon King.
Kuaaa!
The Demon King stretched out both hands towards Davian and spewed out demonic energy.
The days when he had the余裕 to shoot out demonic energy with just one finger were long gone.
He could have swung the Spear of Authority to cut through the demonic energy, but
Davian chose a different method.
'Focus on killing the Demon King with the Spear of Authority.'
He sent the flames burning in his left hand directly towards the demonic energy spewed out by the Demon King.
Kwaaaaang!
The aura of the number one demon of the Penrose Continent of the Demon Realm and the aura of the number one human of the Pax Continent collided head-on.
Dismay appeared in the eyes of the Demon King, who had never been flustered until now.
Instead of cutting through the demonic energy,
He creates flames hotter than the dragon's and confronts it head-on.
Kuuuuuu.
The two auras, which had been intensely intertwined,
Gradually began to be pushed towards the Demon King.
"Davian Naone. Just what kind of human are you..."
The Demon King had never once thought that he would lose even if he fought the entire human race alone.
He had done so during the last invasion of the human realm, and
He was even stronger now that time had passed.
But.
At this rate, it was only a matter of time before he was engulfed in the red flames shot out by that young boy.
Of course, he wouldn't feel threatened by such flames, but
He had been worried about that spear the human had been holding since a while ago.
He had an instinctive feeling that something more dangerous would come after he was engulfed in flames.
'Unbelievable.'
It hurt his pride, but there was no other way.
He couldn't move quickly because the ice spirit had frozen all the surrounding air.
There was only one way.
Spot!
The Demon King's body disappeared into the air.
Davian had expected it to some extent, but
Compared to other demons, the speed at which he squeezed into space was too fast.
It was as if he had simply disappeared into the air.
Buwoong.
Davian, who had rotated the spear once, focused all his senses.
'Where is he.'
He would definitely attack one of the three dragons.
If he aimed for the moment he appeared, he would be able to stab the Demon King with the Spear of Authority.
A dragon might get injured in the meantime, but
Still, wasn't it a dragon, called the strongest being on the ground?
―He must be nervous. The Demon King running away by opening a space against a human.
The Red Dragon, who was observing the situation by rolling his eyes while biting the Samagoon's neck, snorted inwardly.
This ridicule was directed at the Demon King, and
It was also directed at the dragon race.
Wasn't he the Demon King who couldn't be defeated even when seven dragons gathered long ago?
But he was so afraid of one human boy that he was teleporting.
The ruler of the Penrose Continent of the Demon Realm, the Demon King, and
The strongest existence in the human realm, the dragon,
All pale in comparison to Davian Naone.
Of course, he knew it was because of the weapon called the spear given by God, but
Anyway, wasn't that a weapon that no one but Davian could use?
Then,
The Red Dragon's sharp senses sent a warning to his entire body.
―Damn it. Is it me.
The Demon King appeared behind Ignis.
Should he quickly dodge?
Should he turn his head back and give the guy a blast of Red Dragon's fire breath?
Or...
―I don't know. I'll just hold on.
The Red Dragon Ignis's 고민 ended shortly.
He would hold on.
He had no choice but to trust the dragon's scales.
If he let go of the mouth biting the Samagoon's neck to avoid the guy's attack or retaliate against him,
That damn Samagoon would revive again, and
Then the Demon King would have a barrier again.
Dragons are a race with extremely individualistic tendencies.
The number of cases where they sacrifice themselves for others is not in the dragon's common sense.
Ignis would also wonder why he made such a choice if there ever came a day when he would look back on today.
Anyway.
That was a matter for later, and
The Red Dragon Ignis made a decision that didn't fit with the dragon's common sense.
Sacrifice.
Or pride.
Or both.
He was the Demon King who had opened a space and ran away from the human.
He would take this guy's blow on his body at least once.
If the only existence that could deal with the Demon King was the human Davian Naone,
He would just endure the pain for a moment.
Kwajik!
Several of the Demon King's fingernails pierced through Ignis's back scales.
―Kheuk.
How long had it been since he felt pain?
But he could still endure it.
It was just a hole in his scales.
Ignis's sharp teeth were still stuck in the Samagoon's neck.
Davian Naone.
When are you coming?
He could see a small human shooting towards him quickly.
It was Davian Naone.
At the end of his outstretched arm, he was holding the spear of authority, a gift from God.
Yes.
Finish it, Davian Naone.
Human who makes even dragons pale.
End this Demon King with your own hands.
Kuaaaang!
Demonic energy spewed out from each of the Demon King's fingernails that had pierced through Ignis's back scales.
―Kaaaak!
The demonic energy that had poured directly into Ignis's body without the protection of the scales,
Was enough to completely stir up the Red Dragon Ignis's body.
Bones and flesh twisted.
Internal organs burst.
The demonic energy, which continued to increase pressure inside Ignis's body without stopping there, eventually
Pueoeong!
Burst Ignis's stomach and spewed out on the opposite side.
―This. Damn it...
He didn't know it would be this much.
He should have made a different choice.
He should have opened his mouth that was biting the Samagoon and ran away.
No, even if he had turned around and shot breath at the Demon King, it wouldn't have turned out like this.
―Was it the worst choice?
Even if today's battle turned into a defeat,
So even if 80%, no, more than 90% of the humans died,
He would have had a chance to join forces with the dragons of other continents later and drive out the Demon King again.
Why did he make this choice?
As his consciousness faded,
The strength of the jaw biting the Samagoon's neck slowly loosened.
"Ignis!"
The last sound he heard through his fading consciousness was the shout of the human boy Davian Naone.
―I can't even endure for a moment. How embarrassing. Davian Naone.
