Undying Warlord

Just when the lava poured down from all sides of the mountain, everyone’s attention was drawn to a specific area near the tip of the mountain.

Huge amount of lava emerged from that area.

At that moment, a pair of several hundred-meter-long wings unfolded behind the tip of the mountain, and the ginormous head of a lizard emerged from behind.

Crawling on top of the mountain was a fiery-red scaled winged lizard.

‘What lizard…if that is a lizard, I might as well be a God…’ Dilan thought the moment he wondered if the existence far away was a lizard, who had undergone several bloodline enhancements.

This thought dispersed the moment he saw the mighty appearance of the existence that had shaken the city, driving every being away from it.

An existence that seemed to have come to life straight out of Legends, something that shouldn’t exist, to begin with…

“…Dragon…that is a Dragon!!”

One of the youngest Survivors screamed out while looking out of the bus’ window. The boy’s nose was pressed against the window and his eyes were filled with both excitement and fear.

Having witnessed the death of numerous humans, how they had been torn apart by zombies, killed by other mutated animals, or pierced by mythical beasts, the young boy was not naive anymore.

Numerous legends revolved around Dragons, portraying them as extraordinarily intelligent beasts that were bearers of evil, death, and misfortune. They were deemed as greedy and driven by the desire to horde treasures._-.

However, not one legend seemed to justify the mighty appearance of the red Dragon in front of them.

The legendary existence melted the stones around it, released lava on its own, and radiated a terrifyingly mighty aura, painting the surrounding area in blazing red color.

Its mighty and majestic aura highlighted its huge pair of bat wings, the large fiery scales that covered the strong beast from head to toe.

A large barbed tail coiled around the tip of the mountain of molten lava while its huge head turned in all directions to get a good grasp of the situation around it.

All of a sudden, Dilan’s attention was pulled away from the gigantic Dragon as a few old Survivors collapsed.

The Dragon’s majestic aura reached them despite being several kilometers further away. It weighed hard on the unleveled Survivors and was especially hard to cope with for the elderly.

Several nurses rushed to the aid of the collapsed men and women, not without glancing at the majestic Dragon, who had yet to move.

‘This is definitely not a beast at Tier-2…Can it be that a Tier-3 or Tier-4 monster reached Milarn? But how would that be possible? The Gates are definitely restricted, otherwise, the Sun God would have sent Tier-3, let alone Tier-2 believers to support the Sun temple’s branch on the Shikan plains.’

Dilan had no idea what was going on and his head hurt just at the thought of the trouble that awaited them.

He sighed deeply but didn’t do anything. Even in his peak state with every single ability unleashed, he wouldn’t be able to defeat this gigantic existence.

Dilan’s gaze returned to the Dragon, whose head was fixated on a specific spot to its left. Despite the exhaustion that spread through him, Dilan forced his body to move. He stood up from his seat, leaned forward to look through the window to see where the Dragon was looking, and smiled.

“Thank goodness…” Dilan suddenly mumbled before his head turned back in relief after realizing what was on the Dragon’s mind.

‘I guess it wants to devour the Divinity Fragment of the Sun God…better that than targeting us…’

Dilan couldn’t care less about the Sun God’s Divinity Fragment. The miniature sun had no value for him and it could be buried underground, thrown in the ocean, or devoured by the Red Dragon for all he cared.

The only thing of importance was their survival. Thus, he leaned back on the bus seat before he returned his attention to utilizing [Regeneration].

He had to get back to his peak condition as quickly as possible, otherwise, trouble would await them, even if it was not due to the gigantic Red Dragon.

Suddenly a second terrifying roar was issued by the Red Dragon as it flapped the several hundred meters long pair of wings. The trees, stones, and soil that had yet to be covered by the molten lava were flung through the air as a mighty gust of wind blasted through the mountainside.

Lava splattered several kilometers through the air, some droplets nearly hitting the buses in which Dilan and the other Survivors were traveling.

A moment later, the Dragon was in the air before it disappeared from the eyes of many humans and monsters, whose attention had been fixated on it.

However, Dilan didn’t look at the same position anymore. His head had already turned to the Sun temple, which was far away from their current location.

One could barely see the small image of the miniature sun that was brightly shining as the ginormous dragon appeared above it.

‘As expected…it must have sensed something about the Miniature Sun…was it hibernating before?’

Since the night when all monsters had fled from the mountainside, Dilan had wondered why nothing had happened. It was weird and certainly not usual that they hadn’t heard anything since then.

But considering that he had felt weird since he had begun to sacrifice monster corpses to the Divinity Fragment, Dilan’s gut feeling told him that something would happen soon.

His gut feeling and his Divine occupation’s unique perception were the only reason for their survival, which was why Dilan was thankful to have them.

It may not help him otherwise, but it warned him that something was wrong when he sacrificed the monsters to the Divinity Fragment.

‘I awoke the Dragon by nurturing the Miniature Sun, I guess?’

That was the only explanation Dilan could come up with. He had no idea if it was correct or not but it would, somehow, make sense.

After all, a fire-attributed treasure such as the Divinity Fragment, and Miniature Sun, should be quite valuable for the Red Dragon.

Though it did little to explain how a powerful and legendary existence such as a full-fledged western dragon could appear on Milarn as if it was nothing noteworthy.

Dilan turned back his attention, hoping for the best while the others focused on staring at the Dragon as if it was some sort of attraction…a very dangerous one.

He didn’t think that the Red Dragon would attack them. They were way too weak to be of any value to the beast just like flies.

After all, its Tier should be a few grades higher than theirs, resulting in a drastically lowered amount of Essence and stats their Essence crystals would provide.

That was if their Essence crystals had any use for the Red Dragon, to begin with.

‘I shouldn’t bother about that thing. We got away, that’s the most important thing for now…’

And as expected, the Red Dragon didn’t pursue anything else but the Miniature Sun.

Devouring it with a single bite, the Red Dragon’s entire body erupted in terrifying and searing hot flames that were powerful enough to melt its red, fire-resistant scales.

However, that was not something the Red Dragon focused on as it munched on the Divinity Fragment as some sort of rare delicacy, destroying it in its entirety.

The Sun-attributed Divine energy within was devoured, absorbed, and finally annexed by the Red Dragon, whose black eyes turned into the blazing flames of the Sun.

Time passed slowly but nobody dared to stop moving while the Red Dragon was motionlessly standing on the ruins of the once glorious Sun temple that had been completely devastated, and reduced to rubble.

Hours elapsed until an ear-deafening, an exhilarated roar reverberated through the Shikan plains, sending tremors through the ground dozens of kilometers further away.

Meanwhile, Rian…the small city Dilan and the others had lived in…was now reduced to a pile of dust and destruction. The once-bustling city ceased to exist, never to reappear again…
