Chapter 223 – Chapter 46 – Warrior God #4
Zephyr raised his head up. While Dark Saintess Altesia was still stunned, Zephyr stepped out of the temporary barracks and stared at the red vortex.
The others were the same. Everybody in the army stopped what they were doing and gazed at the red vortex. It was instinctual—an irresistible command.
3rd Queen Sylvia was trembling. Despite the considerable distance, her entire body shuddered from the terrible magic power. Some sat down in their place,while others cried out in fear just from looking at it.
Lightning tore through the dark clouds.There was a huge presence within the red vortex.
A huge flame… It was the soul of the red dragon who had seven heads and ten horns.The remnants of the vortex became wild winds which spread all over the place, and lightning began to pour down from the dark clouds.
Zephyr understood. It was impossible to compare the huge presence to Death or War. This was the end.
The red dragon…
The Red Serpent God…
He spread his huge red wings.

The Death Knight was inside the red dragon. In the midst of the red world, he saw the red dragon’s essence.
It was a blazing flame. The body of the red dragon, who had once driven the world to the point of destruction, had been destroyed for a long time, but his soul was still shining.
The ceremony to call down the red dragon wasn’t completely successful. The original plan had been to bring the red dragon’s soul to new flesh.
The first candidate was 2nd Prince Zephyr Ragnaros. The moment he had been born, all eyes in the Demon World had focused on him, and he had a body capable of enduring the red dragon’s soul.
The Death Knight, who had woken up after sleeping intermittently for 1,000 years, focused on obtaining Zephyr. However, after his plan at Thunderdoom Fortress went awry, he rarely had a chance to capture Zephyr. Zephyr had clearly been on the lookout and avoided the War Knight and Death Knight, who hadn’t been able to reach out to him directly until the advent of the red dragon.
War continued to desire Zephyr, but Death was different. The ceremony to call down the red dragon was a fight of time.
Death had to complete the work before the elder dragons recovered their strength after the battle 1,000 years ago.
The Death Knight had given up on Shutenberg. He had sacrificed his largest hand in order to get rid of all obstructions, including the sword duke. Rather than waiting for the demon king’s illness to worsen, he had gone and attacked the Demon King’s Palace.
He would kill the demon king and take his body. If that didn’t work, the red dragon would be called down to the body of the Death Knight, who was the strongest warrior and magician of the indigenous species.
That had been his plan.
However, it didn’t come true. The demon king, Mitra had crushed all of his plans.
The red dragon didn’t get a new body of flesh. Only the soul of the red dragon returned to the world from which it had been banished 10,000 years ago. It was impossible to prepare a new body for the red dragon now. The demon king’s final strike had dealt an irrevocable wound to the red dragon’s soul.
The Death Knight laughed bitterly. As someone who had once been a king, he paid homage to the demon king. The demon king had been clearly heroic. It was true that he had crushed the Death Knight’s plan.
However, it was still good. The plan might be broken, but it didn’t matter. The red dragon had returned. Although it was just the soul, his powers accompanied it. With that strength, the red dragon would once again destroy the Demon World. This time it would truly be the end.
The Death Knight thought of the Sanctuary. Once the souls of the indigenous species were destroyed, the Demon World would return to its original form, and the prosperity of the recent years would end.
Who would stop the red dragon? Who could stop the red dragon?Who would dare oppose him?!
The elder dragons hadn’t regained their strength yet, and the demon king had now disappeared.
The warrior brought up by Guardian Queian and Zephyr were obviously strong. However, even they couldn’t be the red dragon’s opponent. They weren’t the first Drakon Kechatulla, who had defeated the red dragon.
The Death Knight shared the red dragon’s gaze. He looked down at the army which had come from all over to surround the red vortex. They were merely lambs afraid of destruction.
None of them could stop the red dragon. It was doubtful if they would even fight.
The red dragon spread his wings. Seeds of destruction were sprinkled on the desolate land, and beasts of destruction sprang from the ground. The red dragon started moving as the black beasts that emerged from the ground moved ahead of him.
He moved in the direction of the Sanctuary…
The true center of the Demon World.
&
The Death Knight wasn’t wrong.
The elder dragons thought the red dragon’s soul had already vanished. Therefore, they weren’t prepared for the red dragon’s return. As they were only prepared to stop the Four Knights of the Apocalypse, they couldn’t fight the red dragon.
There wasn’t enough time for them to regain their strength. The elder dragons were severely hurt from the fight 1,000 years ago, and Cruel Talia still hadn’t regained consciousness.
The Death Knight was right. No one could stop the red dragon.
Guardian Queian thought so. However, the Great Enkidu was different.
He raised his head from the lava, sensing it was finally time for him to act. His role wasn’t to fight immediately. The fragmented piece of Ainkel’s soul, which had stayed beside Enkidu, glittered. The Great Enkidu remembered Recorder Torres’ words.
The equipment of the elder dragons… They contained the power of the elder dragons. There was one thing which he could do right now.
Enkidu remembered one person, and he sent his will to the equipment of the elder dragons.
