ShangriLa Frontier Chapter 466: Dragon! Oh Dragon! PART 43 Part 2

Both combatants shout out the names of their respective attacks. In the next moment, Rei’s whole body was covered in godly and demonic aura as she slammed one of her fists right in the center of the circle that was created in place of her oversized sword.

And then the two mighty forces clashed with one another. On one side we had a spiral made out of black and white, and on the other side there was a huge mass of golden dragon breath. The light of the Origin versus the light that was supposed to extinguish it.

–––––– If this here was the former Saiga—0, this clash would have surely ended with the golden light emerging victorious, without a shred of doubt.

–––––– If Siegwurm’s horns were all intact and in perfect condition, there would have been no way that the Golden Dragon King’s golden light would have lost to the accursed light of the Origin.

But that was just a hypothesis based on the events of the past.

As a matter of fact, because of the accursed bowman and the Wounded Warrior clad in golden armor Siegwurm’s golden horns were all but gone. …… Ah, and there was also a bunny amongst them. Siegwurm remembers a bunny like that, he used to travel with him long, long ago. But since Siegwurm had lost his power generators, the power of his breath attack also happened to diminish quite a lot. At the same time, Siegwurm was sure that the attack of the oddly shaped knight was only growing stronger and stronger by the second. Was it because of humanity’s own latent power? Or was there perhaps something else behind it?

Therefore, there was no need to even try to compare the Golden Dragon King in his weakened state to the Maximum Firepower that just managed to grow even more Maximum than before.

「Goo, GOOO……!!!!!!!!!」

In that exact moment, the gold light is being swallowed by the helix of white and black and then completely wiped out.

The mythical spiral of white and black light swirls like a tornado and hits the Golden Dragon King straight to the head, causing a monochrome explosion that enveloped Siegwurm’s entire body and then went even beyond that.

「Ugh, kuh……」

Both armor and the sword, filled with divine and demonic power just a moment ago, now lost all of that power due to the set of different blowbacks.

The strange helmet now turns dull and grey, its eyes and mouth closed as if it was making an announcement that it would not be able to wake up anytime soon. The knight herself fell on her knees and looked as though she had troubles with standing back up again.

「Rei, are you alright? Can you stand up? Can you still fight?」

「The gauge…… depleted…… not right…… now……」

「I see…… This attack certainly is powerful, but it leaves you unable to move around on your own, huh? It seems that it would be less practical than Armageddon against a mobile opponent such as Luukan, huh?」

「Sis……」

Saiga-0 smiles at her older sister, who even under those circumstances could apparently only think about ShanFro’s skills and attacks in categories “useful against Luukan” and “not all that useful against Luukan”. It was at the same time quite reassuring but also quite irritating.

Also, recently Saiga-100 would get extremely angry at Rei whenever she would mention Luukan or someone who might have some information on him. Apparently Saiga-100 developed even stronger of an obsession about him, one in which she would not even forgive her own relatives for spilling the beans. Saiga-0 chose to remain silent here, but it was also good that Saiga—100 spoke up of her own accord like that. Could it be called progress in this situation?

However, no one could allow themselves to let their guard down yet. The battle was still ongoing, and nothing was showing that it was about to end in a next moment or two. But there was a warm sensation spreading through Saiga-0’s chest. She has done all that she could here, so now it was time to leave the rest to her comrades.

At the same time, seeing a high power attack like that connected with Siegwurm’s body, the surrounding players also felt like they could relax just a little bit.

And it was precisely at this time that……

It was more than enough for the Golden Dragon King to make his decision.

「–––––– AHH, YES, THAT’S RIGHT. IS THIS PERHAPS THE PLACE WHERE I AM TO FINALLY MEET MY END?」

Hearing those words, all of the players gathered here felt the “chills” running down their spines, even though it was just a game. That’s how the ShangriLa Frontier is, realistic to a fault.

「IT IS THE POWER OF THE ORIGIN THAT IS GOING TO BE MY UNDOING, HUH……? BUT THINKING ABOUT IT NOW, IT IS THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE ERA OF THE GODS AND ITS PEOPLE THAT SOMEONE HAS COME SO CLOSE TO BRINGING ME DOWN…… IF SO, IT WOULD BE MY PLEASURE TO PASS I SUCH A WAY.」

The voice was calm and filled with solitude. But the way it sounded made every players fall silent and listen closely. It was something as close to an event scene as the players in this game could get.

「OOOHHH, MY FRIEND. MY LITTLE BUNNY FRIEND WEISSASH. AFTER ALL, IT SEEMS THAT I AM GOING TO BE THE ONE WHO DIES FIRST…… BUT IF THAT IS GOING TO BE THE CASE, THEN THERE IS ONE FINAL TEST I MUST IMPOSE ON HUMANITY.」

When the smoke cleared and the figure of the dragon was revealed…… Why was it suddenly so breathtaking?

「OH HUMANS. HUMANS WHO SPILLED ALL OVER THE WORLD. PEOPLE WHO WERE THE SECOND ONES TO OPEN THE WORLD TO THE GODS. THIS IS GOING TO BE THE FINAL TEST THAT SIEGWURM, THE HEAVENLY EMPEROR IS GOING TO IMPOSE ON YOU……」

There is no longer any shadow being cast on the divine gold. Siegwurm’s whole body seemed to have “exploded” from the inside, burning with bright light so much that the dragon seemed to be on fire because of that. But even though his body turned into a golden flame, Siegwurm’s voice remained calm this whole time.

「FROM NOW ON, MY DEATH IS ALL BUT INEVITABLE. FOR THE MANABUSTER THAT POWERS ME UP USES MY OWN LIFEFORCE AS FUEL IN ORDER FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO FIGHT AGAINST THE LIGHT OF THE ORIGIN…… AND IF YOU FAIL TO STOP ME HERE, THIS WHOLE LAND IS GOING TO BE DESTROYED.」

Are those two suns? No, it’s just that the whole body of the Golden Dragon King shines brilliantly just like a rising sun. And the golden radiance converges in front of Siegwurm in form of “something”.

「I MAY NO LONGER BE MYSELF, THE DEMONIC FLAMES SHALL CONSUME ME WHOLE, BUT…… YOU DON’T MIND, DO YOU? AFTER ALL, YOU ARE ALL GOING TO BE BURNED TO CINDERS.」

For a moment out there, it seemed as though there was a human-shaped sphere of light in front of Siegwurm. And in the next moment, from that sphere of light…… numerous lasers has been fired one after another in all directions.

The power of the lasers was so strong that those unfortunate enough to be hit by them evaporated instantly, and the backlash of the blow from the lasers landing on the ground was enough to send the NPCs flying in the air. But it was then that something else came right in front of Siegwurm.

「NUH? YOU ARE……?」

The eyes of Siegwrum, who had passed through his flat emotions, shook in confusion.

They seemed as though there was a question “Why?” fluttering inside of them.

Because for some reason, Noirlind landed right in front of Siegwurm and went on to attack him without a moment’s delay.
