Chapter Seventy-Four: The Nightmare Comes (I)

Because the King of the Red World, who guarded the penultimate level, was defeated in a very strange way, Ulysses and Raxia entered the final level at about the same time.

The successor of the dragon god's bloodline, the sky king of the dragon clan, the blue-eyed white dragon awaits the two of them at the final level—it should have been like this.

However, instead of a blue-eyed white dragon, a girl with multi-colored dragon horns on her head appeared.

She is now the master of Dragon Island, the dragon of chaos that has never appeared in the history of the dragon clan, the Empty Dragon Taxis.

"Taxis?" Laxia held the Dragon Emperor Destruction Sword in his hand, and looked at the dragon girl in front of him as if he was facing a great enemy.

"Taxis?" Ulysses disarmed, looking at the dragon girl in front of him with relaxed eyes.

"Come, Rasha, let me see your proof of bravery. Like Rasha's hunch, Taxis across from her is an enemy, the ultimate adversary of this dragon trial.

"Welcome to my Dragon Island, Daddy. Like Ulysses' hunch, Taxis greeted her lover and father, the one she had been loyal to all her life, with a sweet smile.

The Dragon Emperor's Sword of Destruction contained the power of shattering mountains and rivers and began a fierce attack, and the final battle belonging to the trial of the brave of Laxia began.

Taxis set up the tea set and black tea and began to entertain Ulysses, who had come from afar.

"Is it delicious, Dad, this is the iced black tea collected in the Dragon Clan's treasure house, and the annual output is only a little, and I can't drink it alone. Taxis smiled at Ulysses, then picked up the teapot with her slender fingers and filled Ulysses' teacup with the precious black tea she was reluctant to drink.

"Thank you. Ulysses took a sip and knew that this tea was extraordinary, and after drinking it, his whole body was warm, and the fatigue of hitting this level disappeared in an instant.

Taxis smiled, then added a glass to herself.

A soft atmosphere permeated the two, in stark contrast to the white-hot battle on Laxia's side.

"Taxis, can I ask you one thing? Why do you call me dad and ask me to come here? After putting down the teacup, Ulysses finally asked this crucial question.

"That's because, of course, I'm Daddy's daughter and Daddy's dragon. Taxis replied without hesitation, because that was what she was meant to be.

The fate of the two began in the body of his mother, the sky dragon Osiris. Giving birth to a little life of her own is the last wish of Osiris, the dragon of the sky, who was burned to the point of extinction by the fire of the Red World.

Because of this wish, in the closed world inside the body of the sky dragon Osiris, "she" was born.

At that time, "she" did not have a name and no real body, but was just an illusion born from the fantasy of her mother, the sky dragon Osiris, and it was originally a bubble that could not have been born in countless years.

"She" didn't know who she was, didn't know what she was going to do, and wandered in that small world day after day.

There was no other life in that world except her, the trees were fake, the cemetery was fake, the church was fake, everything was a lie, just an illusion created by the power of the sky dragon Osiris, and even she herself was only the most special of those illusions.

Until that day, he came to that world and took her hand.

Because she has something different from herself, "she" realizes that she is not really alone in this world.

His arrival made her, who was as pure as a blank piece of paper, written on the words and had her own sense of existence.

For the first time, she found that she didn't like a person, and there was a huge power hidden in her body, that vast, far-reaching, noble, as infinite as the sky, the power that spread out, the power of Osiris, the dragon of the sky of her mother.

The huge, scorching power made her feel like she was about to be blown apart.

It wasn't a loss of control, it was an awakening, a real awakening of her own will.

From that moment on, she was not a phantom, not a white ghost hovering in that small world.

She is her, the child of mom Osiris, the dragon of the sky.

Before he arrived, her growth came to an almost permanent halt. Because in that world, she doesn't need to grow and she doesn't need to get bigger. In this world that has not changed, her time has long since stopped.

Because of his arrival, her stagnant time began to flow, and her body, which had not developed for countless years, began to grow, from a child who never grew up to a young girl.

He was like a key that opened the door that had been closed in her body, longing to communicate, to speak, to be a more perfect version of herself.

The desire to grow up, the desire to grow taller, and even let the body develop to the point where it can tempt people at once.

She didn't want to be alone anymore, because in that forever unchanging world, there was finally someone to play with her and talk to.

More than anyone else, she was afraid of being alone.

If you had been alone, it might not have been so painful. If you were alone, you might not feel lonely. If you're alone, you'll probably still be able to make your own games as you did in the past.

However, there is no going back.

Because I already know the joy of playing together, talking together, knowing the taste of kissing, and knowing that I desire it all. Therefore, she can never go back to the eternal and unchanging way she used to be.

She couldn't stand being alone anymore, forever and ever, she wanted to change, she wanted more warmth.

So, that world was destroyed by her, that eternal and unchanging world, because of his arrival ushered in the end, and she was reborn from the end.

She personally destroyed that world, awakened the sleeping dragon Osiris, and shattered the eternal "order".

She's a bad boy, it must be wrong, but she can't control her feelings.

So, in the midst of that crumbling world, she reached out to hug him and sang her own song.

It was a song that the women of the dragon clan would only use to one person in their lives, a song that announced the oath of the dragon.

"I'm ...... I'm yours...... Your ......"

It is love, it is also a vow, and it is a promise. They unilaterally made an agreement that they would never betray or give up. Even if they die, they will faithfully guard this agreement until they die.

"I am, your dragon. ”

When Taxis sang the dragon song of the oath in front of Ulysses again, a light jade shattered in Ulysses' mind.

Remembering the part of his memory that he had forgotten at that time, in the city that had been shattered by the Storm Dragon.

It was the void in Sister Mira's dreams, his memories, the battle of the Fantasy Garden he had participated in.

The platinum princess, the killing ghost sword, the mad Kimu, and the blue-eyed dragon queen, those lost parts are pieced together little by little.

No, it's not just that, there's something more distant.

It's not the first time he's heard that song, he'd heard it a long, long time ago, and that song that represents a lifetime of following, never giving up.

It was the song that the girls of the dragon clan would give to their only talent.

At that time, the girl who looked at herself with eyes that were about to cry, and her whole body was surrounded by blood-like red flames, also sang like this, and then turned into ashes little by little.

The flame, full of sorrow, the never-extinguishing flame of love, the sin he bore.
