There was a throbbing in Lawson's heart, not from the ring on his fingertips, but from Erandall, who was not far away, shrouded in brilliant light.

Perhaps for the first time, he was aware of something he hadn't thought about before.

But time was fleeting, and the dazzling light vanished with a single flicker, and neither Bahamut's magical attack nor Randel's law realm was gone.

Rosen caught a small white dot in the sky falling towards the ground, and it was Randall, who had lost consciousness.

He didn't have time to be distracted, and only used a wisp of force to slow his fall, and then the ring in Lawson's hand glowed.

The light was faint, undetectable in the sky.

But the next moment, a shock wave rippled from Lawson's ring, and the original glimmer of light suddenly bloomed, turning into a bright light like the sun.

The light shone on the long-abandoned city, but also on the dragon god Bahamut.

That light was so pure and dazzling that even Bahamut was in a trance.

In the light, Bahamut recalls a bygone era, hundreds of thousands of years ago.

Born in the will of the world, because of the unique eternal law, Bahamut dominates the world, resists the invasion of many foreign enemies, and is majestic and invincible.

But he encountered an extremely powerful enemy, the people of Chaos.

The people of chaos are almost impossible to kill, and their numbers are so numerous that even the invincible Bahamut are struggling to deal with them.

Finally, after killing hundreds of Chaos Citizens in one battle, he reached the limit of his strength, and in the moment he fell, he was overwhelmed by thousands of Chaos People.

Bahamut could not be destroyed, but it would be devoured, and the ant-like people of chaos continued to gnaw at his body for hundreds of years without end, and the heart-rending pain also lasted for hundreds of years.

Before dying, Bahamut met that light.

Pure, dazzling, that is a longing for the light.

That light banished the people of chaos and saved Bahamut, who had been eaten away with only half of his body.

Bahamut met the goddess.

After that, he made a pact with the other party to protect the glory of the goddess, and the goddess also used Bahamut as a model to create a dragon vein from his dragon scales as the guardian of this world.

The battle that followed lasted for a thousand years, and Bahamut realized that such a war was spread throughout the Endless Void, that the great war of order and chaos was beyond his imagination, and that the thousands of Chaos people who attacked him were only the tip of the iceberg.

In the end, in the fiercest battle, even the goddess could not cope with it, and in the end, she could only seal the entire world with all her strength and wipe out the people of Chaos.

Bahamut was also battered in that battle, so he separated his soul from his body, which existed as the goddess's guardian, and his soul became a ring that was handed down among the dragons.

That is Destiny.

All memories were evoked in an instant, and the will of Bahamut, or rather Bahamut's body, suddenly awakened.

He didn't know why his body had been transformed into what it was, but there was no doubt that he had been corrupted by the forces of chaos and had become a beast eager to kill.

The light shone brightly, and Bahamut stopped moving, making Rosen feel a glimmer of life.

"You...... Who the hell is it?"

There was a low murmur from the ring, not a lingua franca, but a dragon, and Rosen could understand the meaning.

"People who want to protect this world. ”

Rosen said he didn't know what the voice in the ring represented, but Rosen vaguely guessed that it might have something to do with Bahamut.

"I am Bahamut, the primordial dragon, and I have turned my soul into this ring to protect the world. ”

The voice in the ring said, with a sigh in his tone.

"But I didn't expect my body to become like this, I'm ashamed. ”

"The Sacred Realm has undergone a mutation, and most of the things here have been eroded. ”

Rosen glanced at the black sun in the sky and replied.

"Lord Bahamut, will you be able to take back control of your body?"

Hearing Rosen's words, Bahamut fell silent, and he seemed to be thinking, and only continued to speak after a few seconds.

"Unfortunately, my body is no longer able to accept my soul, and once the two merge, it will create a clash of the forces of chaos and order, leading to annihilation. ”

Bahamut was a little helpless, although he could temporarily suppress his body now, but it was not a long-term solution.

After a long silence, Bahamut spoke again, as if he had made some kind of decision.

"Since you have this ring, you can naturally drive the dragon to help you accomplish one thing, including me. ”

He said calmly.

"How about we make a deal?"

"Speak. ”

Rosen didn't know what Bahamut wanted to do and was a little confused.

"I want to ask you to help me destroy my body completely, and in return, I will grant you all the power I have left. ”

Bahamut seems to have thought a long time before coming to a conclusion.

"You will gain the power equivalent of the dragon god, the power you will draw, in other words, you will become the new lord of the dragons. It's a deal in exchange for this ring, and my request for both things. ”

He meant that he would take back the ring, and at the same time ask Lawson to kill the dragon in front of him in exchange for giving Lawson great power.

It may sound incredible, but when you think about it, it makes sense.

"If my body is left unchecked, it will cause irreparable damage to the whole world, so it must be destroyed. ”

Bahamut sighed.

"I have made a vow to protect this world, and I cannot just watch myself destroy it. ”

"But what will happen to your soul without your body?"

Rosen didn't know if he didn't need a physical body to live forever at the level of a god, but judging from Bahamut's words, it seemed that there were other ways out.

"My laws are eternal, little one, if you give me time, it won't be difficult to reshape a body. ”

Although it sounds like an understatement, Rosen, who has experienced something similar, knows that even if he can reshape the body, it will take a long time, and it may not take thousands of years to reshape the body of a god.

"Do you accept this deal?"

In the face of Bahamut's inquiry, Rosen nodded slightly, and there was no other way at the moment, but to give it a go.

"Then, the contract is established, take it, all my strength. ”
