Book 2: Chapter 319: I’ll do it (6)

<I’ll do it (6)>

Choi Han stood in the lead and gave orders to Hannah and Clopeh.

“Get as close as possible.”

As he said that…

Tap!

His feet were already kicking off the ground toward Dragon Lord Neo.

Swoooosh-

He could hear the sound of wind.

The shields started to move.

The hundreds of white shields trying to control the area created a path for Choi Han.

The shields were already creating a sloppy but large circle.

The circle was slowly shrinking in size toward the Dragon Lord, getting rid of those sloppy gaps.

‘Gold light.’

Choi Han could see the golden dust seeping into the gaps between the shields.

‘Sheritt-nim will use shields to create a domain to imprison the Dragon Lord.’

The dust moved in between the shields and Dragon Lord Neo… Seeping into every spot in the area.

Choi Han swung his sword.

Baaaaang!

Neo’s hand easily stopped Choi Han’s sword.

“…….”

He looked at Choi Han with an emotionless gaze.

Choi Han’s face that was reflected in his eyes was emotionless as well.

Furthermore-

“Hahaha!”

Choi Han could see Hannah laughing cheerfully as she jumped over his shoulder and swung her sword toward Neo.

There were faint traces of a holy golden light in sword master Hannah’s sword with the majority of it dyed black.

It was dead mana.

“…….”

Neo waved his hand.

Purple mana headed toward Hannah.

Baaaaang—!

“Ugh!”

There was a loud noise and Hannah was pushed back.

Hannah was still laughing.

“Haha-, I guess even Dragons find dead mana to be leery?”

“……!”

Neo was about to say something when he felt something behind him and turned his head.

“!”

He then saw a person.

Choi Han and Hannah…

While the two of them charged from the front, this person moved stealthily as if he had disappeared into their shadows.

Dust and shields, the two swordsmen running wild…

The swirling weather and the sounds of battle…

This was someone who could truly be free only in such a situation.

Clopeh Sekka.

As Neo saw him and scowled…

Smile.

Clopeh licked his lips and smiled again.

However, Neo could not get a good look at that smile.

Shhhhhhh-

He saw a white snake trying to slither up his arm.

No.

This white snake was made of dead mana.

Baaaaang!

Neo’s purple mana created another loud explosion.

Chssssssss-

The snake disappeared.

“How disappointing.”

Clopeh’s comment did not match the smile on his face as he withdrew.

Neo tried to chase him but it was not easy.

“Tsk!”

Baaaaang!

Baaaaang!

Hannah and Choi Han swung their swords at him nonstop.

This was especially true about Choi Han, who was endlessly swinging his sword as if there was no escape.

Ch.

‘Mm.’

Hannah subconsciously took a step to the side because of the aura domain coming from Choi Han and wiped her arm.

‘Crazy bastard.’

She knew that Choi Han had gone quite easy on her during their spars, but now, she could clearly feel it.

‘He gets stronger and stronger.’

How strong could a person get in the way of the sword?

Hannah realized that there were no limits to the way of the sword after seeing Choi Han.

Baaaaaang!

There was another explosion at that moment.

“Hoo hoo.”

She heard an annoying laugh.

Clopeh had hidden himself in Choi Han’s shadow and the noise once again to approach Neo before he had to withdraw again.

‘Crazy bastard.’

This was also a crazy bastard.

A swordsman was moving like an assassin.

However, he was still clearly a swordsman.

Why? Because he was so damn good with a sword.

Dead mana as well. Much more skillfully than Hannah herself.

That was why he was a crazy bastard.

‘And-’

Baaaaaang!

Choi Han was using every opening created by Clopeh.

He was attacking Neo without stopping.

‘How are the two of them working together in tandem so well?’

The annoyed Hannah was about to attack when she stopped.

Baaaaang!

The moment Neo smacked Choi Han’s sword…

“Mm!”

Neo groaned for the first time.

His gaze moved toward his other hand.

To be more specific, the edge of his sleeve.

There were extremely small speckles of dust there.

The dust was golden.

But the number of speckles was not small.

Enough dust had gathered to wrap around his wrist.

“When-!”

When had so much dust gathered together?

Neo’s pupils started to shake.

He had thought that these three swordsmen were charging at him to make sure he did not have the opening to use his attribute.

However, he now learned of their true intentions.

The dust wrapped around his wrist…

The warm beige-colored power seeped in between the dust speckles…

Mila opened her closed eyes.

It was time.

“Mmph!”

She then clasped her hands together.

The dust speckles connected together.

“!”

The dust, no, the shackles that constricted around Neo’s wrist…

There were chain-like threads that connected those shackles to the shields.

That was not the end.

Oooooo– oooooo–

Choi Han’s sword slashed at him with his aura domain wrapped around it. Hannah and Clopeh’s swords were slashing down behind Choi Han’s.

Cale had said this to the allies.

‘One shield is not enough. Although shields are large, they have a lot of gaps.’

Those gaps…

‘We will use dust and connect together to bind the Dragon Lord.’

‘We will create a large prison.’

‘Neo will be tied and dangling inside it.’

All of his limbs will be tied down.

And at that moment…

‘That is when I will aim for the Dragon Lord’s heart.’

This was the reason Choi Han was attacking nonstop.

‘The foundation of this world and the World Tree will try to minimize the weird changes as possible, but the cataclysmic period will get worse as time passes on. In the end, the commoners will be harmed.’

Yes. He could not stop.

He needed to prevent the Dragon Lord from doing anything.

Choi Han could see Neo trying to stop his sword.

So he swung his sword without any hesitation.

Baaaaaang!

As a louder explosion than ever before rang out…

“!”

Choi Han’s eyes opened wide.

“Fuck!”

He swore.

“Haha.”

Dragon Lord Neo laughed.

It was neither Neo’s hand nor his purple mana that stopped Choi Han’s sword.

The golden shackles that stopped forming…

Neo had used it to stop Choi Han’s sword.

Thankfully, neither Choi Han’s sword nor the shackles were destroyed.

“Mm.”

But Eruhaben…

“!”

And Choi Han became flustered and stopped for a moment.

It was only for an instant.

However, that was enough.

“N-”

Choi Han subconsciously opened his mouth.

Blink.

He blinked and realized that the Dragon Lord had disappeared.

The shackles that did not finish connecting together were floating in the air with nothing inside it.

‘Attribute!’

That bastard had used time.

It was not teleportation.

He could not do that right now.

That meant that the bastard definitely stopped time and moved himself somewhere else.

Where could that be?

‘Fuck.’

He had his answer.

At that moment…

“Choi Han!”

Hannah called out to him and Choi Han could see Clopeh coming toward him.

Reflected in Clopeh’s green eyes…

He could see himself.

And behind him…

‘It’s too late.’

Dragon Lord Neo was standing there.

“Huuuuuu.”

He could hear the Dragon Lord breathe.

Smile.

Neo then smiled.

The moment he saw Neo in Clopeh’s green eyes…

Choi Han tried to turn around, but…

The purple mana in the Dragon Lord’s hand was already attacking Choi Han.

Because the mana was fluctuating wildly…

This was just mana shot out instead of a proper spell, but…

“!”

Choi Han could feel the strong power within the mana.

The Dragon Lord…

He had used time to move behind Choi Han, then focused so that he could condense mana into a strong attack despite finding it difficult to cast a spell right now.

He had to stop time for a while to do that, but… The effects were clear.

Choi Han could not do anything.

No, he had no time to do so.

He got chills on his back.

Was this the reason time was so scary? The moment he felt that…

Paaaat!

A shield appeared right in front of him.

It was a black shield.

‘Raon!’

As he was about to feel that Raon had helped him…

Flap.

Choi Han heard the wind rustle and saw the Dragon half-blood fiercely flying toward him.

That was not all.

“I guess you are too young to know the meaning of controlling an area.”

Choi Han could still see a bunch of dust in the air.

‘Huh?’

Now that he thought about it, there was too much gold dust.

There was more than usual.

He had never seen Eruhaben bring out so much dust before.

As he had that thought…

Baaaaang!

One of the dust specks exploded.

It created a chain reaction.

Numerous specks of dust exploded between Neo and Choi Han.

“Mm.”

Neo stepped back.

He created distance between himself and Choi Han.

Neo looked at the gold dust and nonchalantly commented.

“I guess you really can’t fool the years of experience.”

Neo looked at the purple mana in his hand.

He could handle this much mana despite the mana fluctuating wildly.

This was because he was skilled at magic, but also because he had practiced magic for a long time in his own pocket of time.

He looked toward something else.

In between the shields…

He saw a pair of white gold eyes looking at him.

This was another existence that had studied magic for a long time and could use mana as if it was his own hands and feet.

This was someone who had used magic in all sorts of situations.

“Did you say your name was Eruhaben?”

Neo meant the words that he said next.

“How amazing.”

Dust.

The numerous specks of dust taking control of this area…

“There is mana in each of these dust particles.”

That was how they could explode.

The aftershock from the particles crashing into each other made the mana explode.

It was not magic, but…

Those explosions were quite efficient in this situation.

‘There’s as much dust as there is air.’

There was so much dust in this area that he thought the dust was air.

“Haha, Haha-”

Neo started to laugh.

The enemies didn’t give him much time.

The swordsmen charged at him again without resting.

No, there were even more enemies now.

Even more annoying enemies.

“Get on.”

Choi Han got on top of the Bone Dragon.

He resembled a Dragon Knight.

However, Neo focused on the Bone Dragon instead.

“…You are alive.”

This was not a necromancer’s bones being used.

“Were you a Dragon before?”

The Bone Dragon did not answer. He simply looked ready to fight alongside Choi Han.

There was a simple reason Choi Han accepted the Dragon half-blood’s offer.

Neo mumbled to himself.

“You can see it.”

This Bone Dragon could see him.

He waved his hand.

Baaaaang!

“Ugh!”

Hannah was pushed back.

Neo saw the dust trying to tie him down again and used his power.

Boom!

His heart thumped loudly.

The world stopped.

No, only he existed in this gap of time.

Neo started to move.

He had arrived in front of the Dragon half-blood.

“Huuuuuu.”

The moment he let out a breath…

Purple mana headed toward the Black Bone Dragon’s eyes.

‘He can see it.’

This bastard could see his time, so he needed to get rid of these eyes.

Baaaaaang!

However, a black shield was created in front of him.

Of course, it was slower than Neo.

Craaaaaaack-

That was why it was easily destroyed, but…

Flap-

It was enough for the Dragon half-blood to quickly move back.

Because the Dragon half-blood saw it as well.

“Ha.”

Neo sighed.

“How entertaining.”

Despite those words, his eyes looked annoyed.

“You can see it too.”

The Black Dragon he could see through the gaps in the shields…

The young Dragon was clearly seeing everything Neo was doing.

Even more accurately than this Bone Dragon.

That was how he was able to create a shield, albeit a tad-bit slower than him, to protect the allies.

“…You are also using magic.”

This young Dragon was naturally using magic when he and even this ancient Dragon could not do so.

That was why Neo, who could not fully use magic right now, was blocked by this young Dragon’s shield despite using time.

The situation was not good for Neo.

“Yes. Space.”

He had to admit it.

“That thing is quite troublesome.”

His plans were foiled.

But Neo was still calm.

The results would be the same anyway.

However, he couldn’t help but start to get angry.

‘You can have all of these powers once you become the patriarch.’

‘Succession. Isn’t it amazing?’

Time.

‘This may turn you into a god.’

Yes. The attribute of time made him believe that he might become a god.

But these lowly things dared-

“…You dare to see it?”

‘You dare to see my time, you dare to peek at my omnipotence?’

A cold smile formed on Neo’s lips.

‘I guess I should get rid of them first.

These black things.’

A young Dragon and the shell of a dead Dragon.

He needed to get rid of these two first.

Space.

This space the enemies were creating was annoying, but…

Time was on his side.

The roaring Aipotu…

He could create the same results as he had planned even within this chaos.

‘Neo. No, patriarch. The power succeeded to the Purple Bloods for generations is quite strong.’

‘It might take forever for you to digest all of it.’

The Wanderer.

The hunter from the Five Colors Bloods believed he would be yet another Dragon going through the process for the succession.

However, Neo gave his life and his time into it.

‘I was able to take control of time.’

That was why he naturally wanted to become a god.

‘I’ve gone beyond the limits of a Dragon.’

Space?

It was just annoying.

‘It cannot stop me.’

That was the truth.

Neo closed his eyes.

Tick tock tick tock.

He could hear the sounds of a clock.

He could hear the seconds hand moving.

‘Yes, I have my attribute.’

He could feel everything happening in time despite having his eyes closed.

The time used by the three swords slashing toward him…

The time spent by the shield moving to imprison him…

The time used by the dust particles to cut through the wind and get to him…

Everything that exists in the world moves within time.

That was why he was able to recognize all of it.

‘Furthermore, I am the only one who can move in the gap of time.’

How great and mighty was that?

The enemies did not know the power he possessed.

It could not be helped as he had yet to show them his true power.

Neo opened his closed eyes.

He decided to use it.

He decided to use the true value of time.

Boom!

His heart beat wildly.

“Ugh!”

Neo let out a groan.

“!”

His eyes opened wide.

“W, what is-”

He could not speak properly.

‘My whole body-’

Yes, it felt like his whole body was being suppressed by a large boulder.

‘What is this?’

He had not even felt it approach him.

The air just suddenly started to push him down.

No, it was not the air.

Something he could not figure out-

‘Ah.’

Huff. Huff.

Neo found something similar as he breathed heavily.

‘Dragon Fear!’

Something similar to that was pushing him down.

Yes, that was something that did not need to move.

It was something that would strike Neo immediately once used.

‘But I am being suppressed by Dragon Fear?

I, the mighty Neo, am finding it hard to breathe?’

Neo felt something that was different from simple fear.

He could feel the intense murderous intent that was aiming to kill him.

‘Aim, kill, and ea-

Eat……?

It’s trying to eat me?’

Neo slowly moved his head.

Even that was hard to do.

He wanted to use his attribute, but he could not create a moment to focus.

It felt like he may stop breathing at any moment.

‘…A god!’

This was the same thing he had felt when he met a god-

‘Chaos-’

As Neo thought about chaos and turned his head…

He finally saw the red-haired man looking at him through the gaps in the shields.

Cale Henituse.

He had a red crown on his head, and a cape across his shoulders, as he looked at Neo.

Neo subconsciously gasped after looking into those eyes.

“Gasp.”

He had ever felt such emotions even in front of a god.

This man in front of him…

Neo instinctively had a thought fill his mind.

‘Natural enemy.’

Yes.

The natural enemy of Dragons.

That was the only thought that filled his mind.

It was an instinctual feeling that any living creature could feel.

“Huff, huff.”

Cale nonchalantly commented to the heavily breathing Neo.

“Yes, time.”

What Neo had said earlier…

‘Yes. Space. That thing is quite troublesome.’

Cale spoke as if he was responding to that.

That time….

It is quite annoying to deal with.”

And…

– Kahahaha! There is no need for us to cower unless that crazy God of Balance shows up! Of course a mere Dragon has to kneel in front of us! Kahahaha!

The Dominating Aura was laughing crazily in joy.

The cape around Cale’s shoulders…

< Cape of the Sun (Rank: Divine) >

< This is the cape worn by the ruler who created the first nation on the Xiaolen Planet. This ruler was a single-lifer and became the first god born from Xiaolen. >

Its effects…

< Your dignity is increased. >

And the red crown on his head…

This item was the combination of the crown that desired Dragon blood and the Dragon Hunter Emperor.

Furthermore, it also held the power of the cintamani left behind by the imugi that could not become a Dragon.

That power was human warmth.

‘It is an item that stands on the opposite side of Dragons.’

Cale had used it as he cast his Dominating Aura.

He used quite a lot of it without stopping.

He used it as if he was using it against a god.

– Even if he might be at the level of the gods, this punk is still just a Dragon. How can he endure this? Kahahaha!

As the Dominating Aura was so overjoyed he didn’t know how to control himself…

– This power really doesn’t burden your body at all. I wonder why.

Cale ignored the Super Rock and…

He approached Neo.

The surrounding area became silent.

No, the area was quite chaotic with the storm, thunderbolts, and more, but everybody who had been fighting stopped to look at Cale.

They resembled humans who were witnessing a large natural disaster in front of their eyes.

“Huff, huff-”

Neo was still unable to breathe properly and his face turned pale.

– At 80 percent! I’m going to use all 100 percent!

Cale heard a bright voice as he listened to the excited voice of the Dominating Aura.

– Human! The cape and crown are pretty! You look dazzling! You are sparkling! Gashan’s crows will love it!

‘Fuck.’

Cale scowled at Raon’s comment.

The dazzling appearance… Cale didn’t want to wear the cape and the crown because he didn’t like looking like that.
