When the missile exploded in the air, Victor saw a new sun appear in the sky. A golden sun contains a huge explosion, and at its core is a dragon.

It flashed brightly, then exploded into pieces, the echo of the explosion spreading through the atmosphere, and the glass in a radius of miles exploded at the same time. The sea is rippling and the sky is cloudless. Chrom Crouch's weather effect overcomes Victor's, and the sky turns crimson.

A smoking shape fell from the sky, like a fallen angel.

Vai

。

For a moment, the world seemed to stop for a moment. There was silence on the battlefield, and everyone was in awe of the explosion, Winkel's sacrifice, and the dragon's fall.

[Symbol of Hope] Becomes Despair!-6 to STR, VIT, AGI, CHA and LCK!

"Go after him!" Victor ordered his horse, sped on it, and forgot everything else. The horse changed direction and ran so fast that Allison was almost thrown off. Van Kerr will soon collapse on the beach. "Quick!"

"I'm here! His nightmare complained.

"Don't try, do it!" Victor activates [Rally Minions] to speed up the horse and the world becomes a blur. Allison leaned on his back, and in the distance Van Kerr fell to the ground.

At the same time, C

UACH continues its ascent, a huge rocket aimed at the sun. The shock of Winkel's fall is gone, and both dragons and humans are back in the fight. G

Ake summoned a group of ancient giant monsters to attack the castle directly, followed by the Dwarven Flying Machine and Ga

demag

Pegasus Legion.

Dragons and dragons fire at the fortress with their breathing weapons, unleashing a devastating torrent of lightning, flame, ice, stone, and all the elements known to the dragons. Most of these beasts competed with Winkel before he came to power, while the Pegasus Knights of Gardmani helped them with spells and buffs.

Their attacks bounced off the castle's barriers, like water hitting a mountain.

No one had enough firepower to break the shield.

"Your warriors have fallen. This is the end. ”

The voice of Odius came from the castle. Her words magically spread across the battlefield; The last speech before the Armageddon showdown

"In less than two hours, my castle will be at the top of the Earth's atmosphere, obscuring the sun above you. My arrows of light will rain down on all your cities, all of Oldmund. Mu

… will be extinguished by the scorching light. In the blink of an eye, they are gone, leaving nothing but dust. They will never exist. ”

Victor turned a blind eye to her crazy gibberish, even as many around him lost hope, kobolds trembled in fear, Gard Magni's soldiers stood still like statues, slimy people gathered together in fear.

Others, like Grandrack and the Dragon, prove to be too stubborn, chasing the castle and continuing to attack; But the Flying Fortress continues to rise and will soon overtake them.

The Chancellor, against all else, rushed to the place where Van Kerr fell.

"The ocean will boil. The skin of the earth will be scorched until its melted blood overflows from all the mountains of the world. The secondary race will scream at once, and then everything will be quiet; The radioactive cloud will suffocate the survivors until the last poor life is wiped out. Hold your loved one in the cradle because you will soon be in my belly with them. I will feed on your souls and smash the gates of Valhalla, while my people take the world from your ashes. This will be the end of the secondary race...... And the former race will usher in a new beginning. ”

The charm test is successful! [Horror] is canceled!

"We're exes!" Odieuse boasted. "We are a superior nation!" The supreme lord of the world!"

Novasse stopped abruptly and stopped near the edge of a volcanic crater in the middle of the beach. From Charlene to Malfi, the Minions gathered around it, but no one dared to go inside.

Warning you're taking [nuclear - - - - -

"[Massive nuclear protection]," Allison told the crowd. When the spell took effect, Victor jumped off his horse. He rushed into the crater and came to his best friend.

The sight frightened Victor.

[Vault Armor], as a powerful artifact, survived a nuclear explosion, even though it was heated enough to turn the sand below into glass. The spirit stone and the crown that the Emperor had carried with him had evaporated, and the ring on his finger had melted into the armor.

But the dragon under the crown had been cooked alive. His scales evaporated and his eyes were dry. Festering flesh and dried blood vessels are exposed.

Next to Camilla, Victor sees the bones. Vai

queu

of bones!

However, the corpse-like beast was still breathing, it was too stubborn to die.

"He's alive." Victor said, gasping for air with anxiety as the dryads stood with him next to Malfoy, Charlene, and several other radiation-shielded elites.

"He's dead." Allison turned pale with fright from the dragon's state. "Fallout ......"

"Barnabas," Charlene said, shielding herself from the sun with an umbrella. "When he designed the armor, he added hidden pieces of lead underneath the gold, just in case. Maybe they reduced the damage [of nuclear weapons]. ”

Victor wonders what difference it makes; Vai

queu

It was so powerful, with so much health and vitality that he managed to withstand this devastating attack. It's like he once wrecked Wotan's all-energy chariot.

But why aren't dragons born again? Victor gets closer, activating his most useful perks.

[Master's shield is [cancelled] Death Terror] and [A

ti-Heal］．

"Mel Odeus cursed the missile," Victor panicked. "My Perks can't cure him!"

"Silbe's Grace!" Allison added, unleashing her most powerful healing spell, but she couldn't bypass Mel Odeus's overwhelming power either.

“Vai

queu

!” Winkel's cousin GE

Alissime flew to his family. As his companion maggots struggled to survive, he flapped his wings and scattered the sand in all directions. "Cousin! Servants, cast a spell on him!"

Everyone who could cast spells did so at once, as determined as Jenelisim himself.

To Victor's disappointment, all was not working.

Winkel breathed more and more slowly, like a large whale waiting to die on the shore.

Kevin, the dark elf, teleported among them, panicking. "Guys, we're running out of time!" You listen to Odius, we only have a short time to destroy that castle, or the world will be destroyed! I'll teleport as many pilots as possible to the shield, and if there's fire cover, maybe I can turn on-"

"I'm not going to leave my best friend to die!" Victor interrupted him and replied with a roar.

"World - - - - - - - "

"He's my world!"

His outburst caught everyone off guard, and even Kevin shut up.

"Mostly," Victor added. He will still fight to protect his children and loved ones from the impending apocalypse, but Vai

queu

...... "I'm not going to leave him." Help or leave. ”

The black elf glared at him, but said nothing. He understands that Kia is temporarily unusable and that he will not be able to go into battle without all (Epic) level fighters.

"Disintegration!" Victor cast the most powerful spell he could use to lift the curse.

Intelligence check failed. You cannot overcome [Intervention Odieuse]'s caster ability.

“[Magic-Eate

] !” Kevin reluctantly helped him, although he carefully narrowed his range to Winkel instead of weakening the others. But even the anti-magic spell that brought Aknapep to his knees could not defeat Mel Odius's curse. "I'm sorry. Even for me, she was too strong. ”

"There must be a way!" Victor panicked. "A spell, an artifact, a-"

"Victor".

Camilla's voice interrupted the prime minister's words.

The goddess appeared before him, along with the god Mithra, Leone, the Death Clown, Shesha, the Moon Man, ...... The presence of the Titans dwarfs even dragons; Allison and Rollo bowed to Cybele, and the entire Gardemanian army bowed to Mithra and Leone.

In fact, almost the entire pantheon appeared, and Victor recognized a god he hadn't seen yet, Ethan Grimm the White Deer. Se

g was present, and sane, only Sabla

One person was absent from this gathering.

Nothing works miracles like the end of the world.

"Can you stop this?" Victor pleaded, but his hopes were immediately dashed.

"If we take action or take direct action, such as curing Winkel, Sabra will destroy Ofremond himself with earthquakes and radiation," Sille replied coldly. "The damage he will do will be as great as Audius, if not greater."

"It's a mortal thing," replied Camilla, obviously distressed; Even her cherished undead will not survive the ensuing nuclear annihilation. "There's not much we can do but offer encouragement."

"Say it yourself," Mithra said, glancing down at Victor. "Have you leveled up?"

"No, but - - - - - - - "

Mithra didn't let the minister finish, he raised his hand. In an instant, a mark appeared on his and Allison's necks.

Shave it, everyone has it on their necks. Every soldier, every monster, every living thing except dragons. Even Charlene, a vampire that Mithra hated, was marked as claimed.

"Damn, Sabra, you made me agree to Mithraism!" Death Joker said, reluctantly marking several people, including Charlene. The other gods, seeing that the two old enemies had come to an agreement, followed them.

"me off, get out of for the man I chose!" The little dice asked the moon man. "Pray twenty!"

"New ones are waiting." The Moonman replied mysteriously.

"Sales to everyone," said Shesha, who was clearly unhappy with the development of events but agreed to participate.

"I should have done this a long time ago!" White Deer said, making his mark on Victor's shoulder, just as it did on Alison's. "Protect my priestess and make her happy!"

Even Leone joined the group's efforts to give Victor a score, even though she clearly hated it.

They are scrawny.

Congratulations! You've earned [what Mithrass claimed], [what Esengrim claimed], and [what Leone claimed] personal allowances!

[Mithra Claim]: When you level up, you have an additional 10% chance of gaining a charm or power point. You are also immune to all [Fire] and [Holy] effects, except those inflicted by Mithras or his servants.

This mark can only be removed by a powerful [prayer] spell or your own will.

Not enough. Not enough!

"What about the dragon?" Victor asked, noticing that none of the maggots had been awarded the mark. "Claim them!"

"We ...... No," Mithra admitted.

"It's forbidden," Camila added.

"Who is it?" Victor asked, and the gods remained silent. He turned to Shesha. "You can heal Vaikel and stay within the confines of your stupid divine covenant!"

"Victor, the cost-"

"My everything!" Victor announced. "My life! I'm willing to sell my soul!"

Xie Sha shook her head helplessly.

Although Victor was scared, the gods had done their best.

"Everyone." Kevin cleared his throat while ge

Alissime prepares to leave reluctantly. "Time is running out."

"I ...... Everyone, prepare to teleport urgently," Victor told his elites. "I ...... I'm going to be with him. ”

"Victor ......" Alliso

Lag.

"I'll go with you." The Chancellor said, eyes fixed on Wacker. "Let's go!"

The charm test is successful!

Everyone exchanged glances, then dispersed; Either take off after the Cruch, or prepare for teleportation. Even GE

Alissime also departed, although he took one last look at his cousin, leaving the vizier and the dying Vai

queu

Alone together. The gods vanished into thin air, perhaps to view Sabra, though Camila briefly placed her hand on Victor's shoulder to comfort him before returning to heaven.

Victor fell to his knees, staying with his dying friend.

Van Klele is dreaming.

It was a dark dream, like a night without stars. It was freaking cold, colder than the shabby winter kingdom. It's a dream without sound, without images, without warmth.

A dream about lead.

Darkness beckoned him. The cold emptiness awaited the dragon at the end, a promise of destruction.

This is... Death?

Is this what death feels like? Fearsome? Lonely? Empty?

Thinking that his minions have already experienced something like this more than once...... However, as his mind vanished into nothingness, the dragon strangely felt calm.

Two years ago, old Vajkel would have roared; It's not that he's going to risk his life to save his servant, and he doesn't care about Odius' cruelty. He would sleep, collect gold, watch the world burn, and only think of the cows.

Deep down he thought his minions had made him weak.

The rest thought it made him better.

Because instead of being angry, Van Kerr felt ...... about the development of events Nothing? Like the brief moment before he went into hibernation; A moment before he lost consciousness.

But you won't wake up after that. The dragon knew this, deep down in his heart. He had no problem with that.

Winkel collected the world's greatest and most beautiful treasure and died protecting it. Just like a real dragon should do. He saved his loved ones and servants from death and gave them the opportunity to continue fighting.

Winkel had long accepted the fact that he might die. As long as life and death are at stake, he no longer fears death.

He wished his niece, cousin, and chief of staff well. He wanted all his servants to come. They are strong; They are his.

"Please Vai

queu

……”

The voice of his servants.

It was just a distant echo, faint and clear.

"You should be invincible!"

He is! Vankel ate thousands, and in the end, no one really defeated him in battle. Even Wotan Dragonsword didn't make it to the task.

"Please don't leave ......"

If Van Kerr is now gone, disappearing into the darkness, there will be no regrets. As the minutes ticked by, his life faded away, and the pull grew stronger. Death was terrible, but surprisingly calm.

"You made me something," his servant pleaded. "I was a failure before I stumbled upon your cave, if you weren't there...... I wouldn't change either. "You've saved me so many times...... You've saved so many people, so many times......"

Van Kle's body was numb for a long time, but he briefly felt a warm liquid running down his nose. It smells salty.

Tears.

His chief of staff was weeping for him.

"Please......" Manling Victor pleaded. I don't think I could have gone much without you...... I...... I'm just your sidekick. "No matter how many people don't think so, you're always the one who pushes everything forward."

Well, yes. That's the dragon's job.

"I should die ......"

Minions, you've died too many times.

It cost Van Kerr a fortune every time!

"We promised to go to Valhalla together...... Please......"

Valhalla Temple?

The absolute apex of the world. This is the highest honor that the dragon manufacturing system can give.

He had promised his servants that they would become gods together—and that was true......

As his friend's pitiful words echoed through the void, Winkel's memory flashed suddenly. They took him back to the place where he first came into contact with death, back to Nagastan. When he faces the evil Odius on the battlefield.

A true dragon does not flinch in the face of death.

A real dragon looks into its eyes and breathes into her sad face!

No, no, he can't let himself fall into this dark abyss! He is a knight knight, and his name is the first, the catastrophe of the times, the defender of hoarding! Mu

Conqueror of ado and Teikoku!

From the moment Manlin Victor woke him up, Winkel's memory flashed suddenly. He remembered the rout of the Scorching Army and the Battle of the Horde; his duel with Brandon More, and the conquest of Ishfania; He fights a puppet in the Winter Kingdom, destroying the battle Ravelle; He defeated Wotansaurus Poison, tamed Taras, and drove Mel Odeus away!

The land is subject to his will!

Even if he could, he wouldn't die!

He made a promise, and so many people were counting on him!

[Honor of the Dragon] activates. [Death Terror] and [A

ti-Heal) canceled.

The darkness slowly receded, replaced by a strange white space, and Winkel hoped he would survive.

[Master's Shield) activated! You've gained [Positive Status!]

Sensations filled his body again. The first was an indescribable pain; It's itching all over his body, much worse than anything he's ever experienced! Even his eyes felt terrible!

Speaking of his eyes, the white slowly turned into a dark gray. The sun, the shadow of the castle; A heavily armed face.

"You're blocking the sun," Winkel said to his servant, by which time his eyes had recovered to seeing the colors.

"Fuck!" His servants grabbed him by the neck, tears streaming down his helmet. "Fuck! I thought you were done!"

"Friend Victor, the history of this world is my story." "Of course it can't end like this!"

"No kidding!" His servants grabbed his sickle and wiped away tears for him.

In order to save your subjects and resurrect yourself, you are in [Fishe

"I'm not kidding, Victor." The dragon replied, and the flesh on the bones grew back. He began to force himself to stand up, his paws stomping on the ground.

His gesture marks a brief pause, and he stands backwards, bewildered. "Your Majesty, you forgot to bring your servants."

"I haven't forgotten," Winkel replied. "Victor, you're not just a servant anymore, not even a chief of staff. You have always been my sincerest friend. Half of V&V. The two of us are only one half of a larger whole; We are both strong and invincible. No one makes me prouder than you. ”

"Your Majesty......"

“Vai

queu

。 The dragon replied. With V, I can tell. ”

His friend looked up, shocked by the honor, and nodded. "Vajkir, are we flying towards the castle?"

"Yes and no." Winkel shook his head, his scales finally growing and he was back to health. "Today will be our last fight, no matter what...... So let's stick together, as we are meant to be. ”

Van Kerr spread his wings, which had just grown long enough to carry him.

"Climb".

In the throne room of the Chrom Crouch Center, the fairy Mel Odeus lies on her throne in human form, giggling in disappointment. The screen above her head shows every city in the world, every last of her furious targets. Soon, she would see the end of all life on the island of Overred Mond, but it was not the man she had witnessed; It's like she's happily watching Knight Bane commit suicide.

It should be a moment of joy and triumph. Thousands of people have fallen, their souls nourishing her spiritual core. Every life taken from her fills her with new joy, and she shuddes at her feelings as her arrows wipe those weak races from her world.

It will be a perfect moment of pure bliss. It was a milestone on her path to personal happiness.

Nothing else could please her. She has no love for anyone, not even for her predecessors; The Fairy Queen prides herself on being a member of the superior race, but her compatriots are tools to be sacrificed and discarded once they prove themselves unwanted. She didn't need friends, she didn't need slaves, she didn't need money, she didn't need luxury. She doesn't like other activities and treats them as a housework.

Killing the apes, elves, and all these meowing children will satisfy her, but only temporarily. Odius will never stop bleeding; Never thought to stop. She wants to carve a path of murder between the stars until there is nothing left. She only stops when everything is pitch black and there is no one left to satisfy her.

Mel Odeus had a void in his heart that only death could fill.

So why did she feel that her victory was being deprived?

Each bomb sent the soul directly to her. The contents of the Dragonbind Vial have been collected, allowing Queen Formo to swallow the souls of countless maggots and slaves. All of these forces should have catapulted her directly to Valhalla, allowing her to pursue greater happiness as the thirteenth goddess of Ofremond.

Even the system agrees with her because she looked at her status screen.

By feeding the dragon's souls and collecting their magic, you have reached level 99. You can now enter the [Valhalla Temple] and attempt to [Apotheosis].

"Open the way." Mel Odeus said hoarsely for the tenth time.

Get [Valhalla Hall denies.]

Same message, over and over again. "Why? The teacher asked angrily. "How?" Why am I deprived of the eternal happiness that is rightfully mine?"

You don't deserve it.

Isn't it worth it? She, beyond the ultimate existence of ancestors and dragons?

Who decides? The power to turn apes and worms into gods?

She was ready to settle in the devastating Overlord before pursuing happiness on earth, but the system's reaction angered her on a primordial level. Mel Odius was born to be a creature par excellence, killing countless people on her way to the top of the world. Of course, she bypassed the usual channels by collecting souls, but this only proves her cunning and strength.

No one will deny her happiness.

The future goddess turned to a pile (black crown) that was used to empower the slaves. She stores them, believing that they can help her cheat to level 99 if her other plans fail. Maybe it's time now.

"The enemy is coming, Your Majesty." The voice of a commander echoed over the loudspeaker.

The smaller races put up a pitiful last resistance. How funny, but she would be happy to see the light of hope leave their eyes and then gouge them out. "How many?"

"Hmm......" the voice paused, and it seemed that new information had entered the frame, "there are thousands, but ...... There is a dragon leading the charge, and the speed is so fast that it will crash into us before the other dragons. ”

Odius already knew who it was, even before she asked for a screen to show her. All the photographs show a huge figure chasing the Cruch, moving through the clouds at an astonishing speed that even the forerunners would have admitted.

A crimson dragon in golden armor.

K

ightsba

e。 Alive.

As usual, he took Victor Dalton with him; But not in his hands, as usual.

Instead, the dragon carried his human slaves on his back.

Alone, through spells and agility, they managed to catch up with Cruch when everyone else was lagging behind. They are the tips of arrows, which are used to split a slit in the shield, and then the dragon and the fool follow.

It's always them. She was these two people every step of the way. Always prevents her from succeeding. Always hinders her well-being, turning it into misery and emptiness.

With these two people, Mel Odeus will never feel whole.

As the path to Valhalla became clear, Dracolic's mind cleared.

"Send the rest of our army to chase them," Odeus ordered, as she prepared to turn herself into a powerful [Dracoridge] and drink [Black Crown]. Whether the system likes it or not, she has to force her way into Valhalla. "Start the countdown to the missile launch."

"Your Majesty, how many troops are we going to send?"

"All of them."
