Chapter 61.2– Protagonist: I will kill my former self.

The golden dragon flew up, dodging the black dragon’s attack. The black dragon deftly twisted his body around and his thick, long barbed tail struck the golden dragon’s wings, scraping off some golden scales.

“Ah!”

Fire spewed forth from the golden dragon’s mouth, the sacred flame was aimed at the black dragon. The black dragon flapped his wings and returned fire with dragon flame. The golden and black dragon flames met each other in mid-air. The light from the combined dragon fire turned the entire sky white. The black dragon furled its wings and started to dive down onto the golden dragon. This time the golden dragon did not veer away. Eric took his golden dragon spear and aimed it at the black dragon. The golden dragon flew up to attack.

“Crash-”

The silver blue dragon spear and the golden spear clashed together. Eric looked at the golden spear in his hands. Its golden luster had dulled. The spear began to rust and deteriorate until it turned into black dust and disappeared. Eric looked down at the Dragon Knight below him. The silver blue dragon spear in Xiu’s hands still had a bright luster.

It is an artifact, one that makes things decay, or with a time-related power. Once that spear touched a person or dragon, the result is irreversible. Eric took a deep breath and told the golden dragon to allow him to dismount.

“What are you going to do, Eric?” asked the golden dragon asked. Then he heard Eric chanting a spell. “Eric! Don’t! That’s forbidden…”

“When tolerance is perceived as a weakness, use might to make the enemy tremble.” Light elements started flowing into Eric’s body. The son of god’s figure became brighter and brighter until he looked like a person made of pure light. “God of light, give me the power to disperse the darkness.”

On the back of the black dragon, Xiu watched as a light started shining behind the golden dragon. The light became brighter and brighter until his eyes were dazzled. Xiu squinted at that figure then jumped down to attack. The black dragon immediately moved to protect Xiu but the golden dragon blocked him.

Xiu used wind magic to stabilize his body as he fell to the ground. Opposite him, the bright light began to die down and Eric’s body could be seen again. The son of god was covered with a golden light, as majestic as a god.

Through the forbidden magic, Eric temporarily possessed the power of a false god. He raised his hand and arrows made of light flashed towards Xiu. The speed of the light arrows was quite fast. Xiu dodged and raised an earth shield to block the attacks. However, when he used earth magic, he found that the light element in his surroundings were unusually dense and were suppressing the other elements.

The light arrow pierced his flesh and he was bound by a rope made of light. No matter what magic he used, he couldn’t break free of the rope. Xiu raised his head and watched as Eric walked towards him.

The war god smiled maliciously at the beastkin god as their weapons clashed yet again: “Give up, without your leader, you are all doomed to fail.”

The beastkin god looked down. Though his warriors fought valiantly, the army they fought were well prepared and the beastkin were clearly losing the battle.

“The beastkin will not retreat. Our honour shall never be stained, even if we have to fight to the last man.”

The beastkin god raised his sword but this time he did not use it to attack the other god. He slit his wrist. Blood flowed down the sword and it emitted a red light that flowed down to the beastkin warriors. The beastkin god sang the Battle Hymn loudly. Compared to Nina’s singing, his singing was rougher, less tender. Under the god’s blessing and the Battle Hymn, most of the beastkin warriors entered a second berserk state and began to counterattack.

The war god looked at this new development with amazement. The beastkin god had sacrificed his divinity to strengthen the warrior’s fighting power.

“Even if I fall.” The beastkin god held his sword; his blood still flowed: “My faith will never disappear.”

Eric walked towards Xiu but before he could speak, a red light suddenly lit up the sky. The red rays fell down and were attracted to Xiu’s body. Xiu panted as that feeling came over him again. His body seemed to burn. Now he could understand the Battle Hymn of the beastkin. A wild, reckless power told him:

You should not be bound.

You have a pair of claws that can tear all enemies apart.
