TEASER CHAPTER 6 PART 18
On
the shores of a seemingly infinite lake, a jet-black giant dragon, unable to
hide its gut-boiling anger, swung its foot up to crush the dwarf-like human in
front of him.
The
person, who was as small as a pea from the dragon's point of view, jumped away
from the place with a gale-like speed and swung out the katana in his hand just
to counterattack.
The
extremely sharpened flying blade struck Tiamat's foot, but it was blasted away
like a raindrop before the jet-black scales of the dragon, only to dissipate
into thin air.
The
dragon's foot that was swung down hit the ground, and the shattered rock came
crashing down on Nozomu along with the shockwave.
The
shockwaves that shot out in all directions rushed across the ground like
beasts, giving Nozomu no chance or space to avoid them.
Nozomu
swung his katana in a circle and used his Qi technique [Fan Shaped Sail] to
block the incoming shockwave.
The
membrane of Qi that had been deployed bent and was able to stop the shockwave
from Tiamat's attack.
However,
Nozomu, who was swallowed by the shockwave and got hit by the stone rubbles,
came to a complete halt.
Tiamat's
body rotated using the foot that was hit onto the ground as its pivot, and the
tail that had gained momentum was swung out towards Nozomu.
There
was no way that Nozomu, who was completely stopped in his tracks, could avoid
it. The tail hit him and he was flung far away, unable to even scream in pain.
Nozomu's
body slammed into the ground many times.
The
sound of bones cracking from all over his body echoed in his ears, and as his
vision continued to spin, his body finally stopped after about ten seconds.
However,
his body was already full of wounds.
He
tried to get up, but his left arm and right leg were completely broken and hung
down.
Severe
pain ran on his flank, and the broken ribs must have pierced his lungs because
when he coughed, clots of blood came out of his mouth.
With
just one blow, Nozomu was critically injured and cornered.
Even
so, he supported his body with his right hand and gritted his teeth to raise
himself up.
He
then looked straight at the giant dragon that was displaying its majesty in
front of him.
Even
though he was no match for it in strength, he would not give up.
His
eyes, lit up by a strong will, were directed at Tiamat.
(~!!)
His
eyes irritated Tiamat even more.
(Why
can you look at me like that! Why won't you give up! Why... why do you speak
like that to the person who betrayed you!)
Tiamat
opened its mouth, anger boiling in its chest as if an old wound that wouldn't heal
had been gouged out from it.
(I'll
never acknowledge it!)
With
such clear rejection and resentment in its heart, the giant dragon gathered all
the power it could in its throat and released its burning anger to completely
deny the human being glaring in front of him.
The
giant flames of chaos that evaporated the lake rushed forward, it quickly
swallowed Nozomu and obliterated him without a trace. After the giant flame had
gone, only the gouged ground remained.
