Chapter 17: Dragon Slayer
On Valoran, the Dragon's Lair has always been a realm for the brave to enter, and it is where dragons lurk, and it was once a forbidden area. Once upon a time, there was a terrifying existence that rivaled the gods, and even surpassed them, and people in the past called it Baron Nash.
For some reason, Baron Nash moved away from the Valoran continent. Now the people on the mainland occasionally think of this event that made them happy in the past, and they can't help but think deeply, because although Baron Nash's presence on the continent is a threat to the people here, it only stays in the dragon's lair and rarely comes out to move, and because of Baron Nash's existence, the Valoran continent is rarely invaded by outsiders. If Baron Nash was still on the mainland when the angels and demons invaded, then let alone invade the continent, even if they stayed in the continent, they would have to weigh it carefully.
At this moment, the silence of the Horror Forbidden was broken by the cacophony of metallic clashes. In the dark and dense thorn bushes, a blood-colored dragon slowly fell with a wail, and the smell of blood was so thick in the air that it could not be dissolved, and a spear was stuck in the belly of the blood-colored dragon, which had been completely stained red with blood. The spear ran through the dragon's belly and back, and bright red blood gushed out from the shocking huge wound, and upon closer inspection, the blood-colored dragon was actually stained red with blood! Behind the dragon's huge body, a blood-red man slowly walked out.
That's right, just one person. In the continent completely eroded by angels and demons, the creatures here are on the verge of extinction, and the dragon is extremely misanthropic to humans, so it is extremely difficult to see a human in the dragon's lair, not to mention the inside, even on the periphery.
Like the Scarlet Dragon, this blood-red man was also stained red with blood, except that the blood on his body was not his own······ He leapt and landed on the dragon's massive body.
Compared to the dragon, his body was so small, and this small, seemingly fragile human stepped on the dragon's arrogant body at this time, how rare this picture was.
"Gavin IV, you are becoming more and more violent. At this moment, a lazy voice slowly remembered, this voice was ethereal and heavy, bringing invisible oppression.
"For the sake of the mainland, I have no choice. "Gavin, that's right, it's Gawen, the former prince of Demacia, Gavin IV. Now he wears blood-red armor. I don't know if it was red with blood, or if it was just like that, his head was wrapped in a blood-red helmet, and the solid helmet made it impossible to see his face clearly, and only a pair of pupils with blood light and murderous intent could be vaguely seen. After a terrible battle, his armor was covered in scars, and the sharp horn that should have been on the left side of his helmet was gone. As if a different person, Jiawen's original resolute majesty was replaced by a terrifying ferocity, and his whole body was filled with a murderous aura that destroyed the world and the earth.
"Don't you have a choice but to tear the dragon to pieces?" looked at Gavin who was soaked in blood, Thor sighed in an extremely rare way, "Add this ......"
Looking at the dragon at Gavin's feet, Thor was moved. When did the dragon become so weak? Or was Jiawen too strong? I still clearly remember that 10,000 years ago, when the dragon clan was rampaging on the Valoran continent, it was really devastating, only between breaths.
"With that, I've slaughtered ninety-five dragons. Jiawen slowly pulled the spear out of the dragon's body, and the spear stained with dragon blood looked particularly dazzling in the sunlight, revealing a strange brilliance, "For the power of the so-called dragon slaying spear in your mouth, I can basically control it. ”
There was an inexplicable frenzy in Jiawen's words. He was completely unconscious after being hit by Jinx*, and after Ahri woke him up, his body was controlled by Thor who entered at no later point, although he still retained his perception of the outside world. Knowing the situation on the mainland from Ize's mouth, and knowing the recent situation of Demacia, he once fell into the abyss of despair, of course he knew that the strange girl that Ize was talking about was Shivana, but when he took Shivana back to the palace, he was afraid that Sivana would lose control and cause unimaginable consequences, maybe he had "love" for her, but more for Demacia. During the battle between Ahri and Zelas, Gavin is deeply aware of his own insignificance, and he feels a deep powerlessness.
After that, Thor, who controlled Gavin's body, came to the dragon's lair, and Gavin didn't know how he used to trick the dragon with extremely keen senses and take him to the deepest part of the dragon's lair.
Gavin didn't know what was here, but judging from the hundreds of dragons entrenched here, there must be some secret in the deepest part of the dragon's lair, a secret that was extremely important to the dragon.
There was only one tall stone platform, and Thor climbed it quickly. The space on the stone platform is not large, and in the center is a spear, and the killing intent deposited by the baptism of the years rushes to his face, making Jiawen tremble.
"What is this? do you know?" Thor's voice sounded low, "I know you can hear what I say, Gallvin IV, and I will soon return your body to you." ”
"This is the legacy of the last Dragon Slayer Warrior, this Dragon Slayer Warrior was the most powerful of all the Dragon Slayer Warriors in ancient times, and during his lifetime, no one could surpass him. Because he is so powerful, he has already posed an extremely great threat to the dragons. So Baron Nash, the former leader of the dragons, summoned all the dragons here and slew him. Thor's voice was deep, "It is said that at that time, the bones of this dragon slayer warrior were gone, leaving only this powerful weapon that he used during his lifetime. And the reason why the dragons are entrenched here is because of this spear, they have guarded this spear for generations, and they do not let others have the opportunity to possess it and pose a threat to the dragons. ”
Jiawen listened quietly, thoughtfully. If you can control the weapon left behind by the strongest dragon slayer, then you may have the strength to stand up to the invaders.
"I'll hold this spear in a moment, it's been over the years, and it's immeasurably murderous, and if you're not careful, you'll be controlled by it, and you'll be reduced to a killing machine until you die of exhaustion. Later, I will use all my strength to help you resist its killing intent so that it cannot affect you, and then you will gain control of your body, and all you have to do is pull it out with all your might. You may not know how far you can go if you harness it, but I can tell you in no uncertain terms that it doesn't make you above God, but I think it's more than enough to contend with it. Thor's dull words interrupted Gavin's thoughts, "Of course, you can also choose not to pick it up, I won't stop you, after all, 'Dragon Slayer Warrior' is a dangerous title." From the day you have this title, you are destined to be forever cut off from mercy and justice, and to live forever in darkness and blood. Moreover, because of the dragon slayer's extreme killing intent towards the dragons, even if you don't want to, this spear will drive you to slaughter the dragon, so you should lose something important, right?"
Gavin didn't know if Saul was talking about Sivana, he brought Shivana into the palace and instantly occupied her heart, maybe it was hypocritical, because he was mainly afraid that Sivana would get out of control and cause harm to the people of Demacia, but he had no choice, he clearly understood the trade-offs. He had no choice.
It's the same this time, you can gain power by becoming a dragon slayer warrior, so it's very likely to fight against the invaders and the gods. Restore light to the chaotic and shattered continent. Although it is worth it to fall into darkness yourself. And doing so will cause harm to the dragons, and form a blood feud with the dragons, if Shivana belongs to the dragons, then he will not dare to promise not to meet her in the future.
Between the entire continent and Shivana, Garvin had no choice but to choose the former.
The moment Thor touches the spear, Gavin gains control of his body. Without any hesitation, Jiawen used all his strength to pull out the spear that had been washed away by the years for an unknown amount of time, and to Jiawen's surprise, it was not as difficult as he imagined. The moment the spear was drawn, a loud and piercing dragon roar resounded through the sky, stimulating Jiawen's eardrums. The dragon's groans came and went, and they lasted for a long time. Accompanied by the loud roar of the dragon and the shaking of the sky, countless powerful breaths locked Jiawen, but the terrifying coercion, at this moment, Jiawen, who was holding a spear, looked like a breeze.
"You didn't disappoint me. Thor's voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible, and Gavin could feel her weakness and the irrepressible joy and excitement in her words, "Oh, this spear is really powerful, and this terrifying aura, I think it's Kyle and Morgana...... No, even if that guy is going to pay attention, right?"
"Thor......" Gavin called softly, although he really wanted to know why Thor helped him, and why Thor knew so much about the dragons, he knew that Thor would never tell him the truth.
"If you're wondering why I'm helping you. Thor's voice was vague, "You'll know later, but I can tell you in no uncertain terms that I'm doing it for myself." My strength is depleted and I can no longer maintain my normal form, and will give the form of a soul into this spear in your hand to keep me alive. ”
After Thor's voice was completely gone, Gavin was covered in countless huge shadows, and they roared lowly, staring at the spear in Gavon's hand, the flames in their giant eyes declaring their anger, but they all stood still, not stepping forward.
Taking a breath of cold air, Gawen stood the dark red spear in his hand in front of him, his resolute eyes gradually replaced by cold blood.
"Since you have chosen a path to killing, then ······" Gavin's voice was cold and full of murderous intent, like a terrifying powerful demon whispering, "For the sake of harnessing this spear, for the sake of the future of the continent, I'm sorry." ”
"So what do you want to do now?" Thor 's voice came slowly, although every time he slaughtered a dragon, his strength would be restored, but because his strength was exhausted, this bit of energy was like a drop of water in the sea, and it was of no use at all, "Back to your Demacia?"
"No, I can't go back now. Garvin flicked his spear, flicking the blood off it. From Zelas's mouth, he learned that Thor's title is the Star Casting Dragon King, although Gavin doesn't know the meaning of this name, but there is the word "dragon" in it, and it is also the "Dragon King", presumably Thor must have something to do with the dragons.
"What, you still want to continue slaying dragons here?" Thor said with a slight smile in his voice, "Your strength is already very strong. ”
"No, I'm going to the seaside and break down the barrier that the invaders have set up on the edge of the continent to completely isolate the road from the outside world. Gavin's voice was cold and indifferent.
"By the sea?" said Saul.
"Yes, from here to the northwest, the Sea of Conquerors is due west of Demacia. Garvin slung his spear over his shoulder and walked towards the exit of the dragon's lair.
In the darkness, a pair of eyes full of hostility and anger stared at Jiawen's distant back, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they were sure that the demon had left here.
