EPISODE 267 – THE GOLDEN SUN (3)
“Uoooooooooh!”
High in the sky.
The sun rose from a place that had been turned dark by the pouring rain, lightning, and dark clouds.
The sky was split by the sword of the sun that was raised high.
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing-!
The darkness was divided.
The dark and heavy clouds split, and the sunlight shone on the ground again.
Malekith looked up the sky. He felt an instinctive fear at the intense power of the sun that was created by using the energy of the seventh door at once. He quickly soared up and opened his mouth wide.
“Kaa-”
A full power Dragon Breath.
It shot to the sky. It headed to destroy the sun.
And Landius gripped Solari’s divine sword, the Solar Blade, with both hands. The immense sword that was born through the power of the sun.
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!
A beam of light soared up. A gigantic blade of light over a hundred meters long was swung from Landius’ hands.
It was the true sun.
The Trailblazer Sword that could cut through even any darkness!
“Uoooooooo!”
Landius’ entire body shone with golden light. The Trailblazer Sword clashed head-on with the Dragon Breath, causing a miracle. The Dragon Breath shattered in front of the Trailblazer Sword.
Ksssshhhhhh!
It was a truly magnificent sight.
The Dragon Breath was split by the Trailblazer Sword from the front, and the Dragon Breath’s fragments scattered in all directions.
The Trailblazer Sword did not lose its light after the black light shattered.
“AAAAAAAH!”
Landius roared. The Trailblazer Sword that cut through the Dragon Breath finally reached Malekith’s neck. It headed down and slashed Malekith’s chest.
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!”
Malekith screamed. His chest was ripped open and bright red blood spurted out, and the godlike being turned into a beast as it rolled over the floor.
“AAAAAH! AAAAAAAAH!”
Malekith continued to struggle. The wound was so hot as if it had been burned. Malekith was weak to pain as he had always been the one to inflict pain, so he had a hard time withstanding the current situation.
But Malekith did not collapse.
His fierce anger overcame his fear.
Although Malekith was reduced to a beast, he was still an Ancient Dragon.
He suppressed the bleeding with the will of a dragon. The healing of the wound was slow due to the power of the sun, but he forcibly closed it and spread his wings. He flew up and tried to harm Landius somehow. It would be fine even if it was his last attack.
Landius saw him.
It was hard for him to even lift up the Solar Blade again because he had just poured all his energy into the attack, but he wasn’t afraid in the slightest.
He looked straight into the eyes of Malekith who was letting out a murderous look.
They stared straight at each other.
Malekith was even angrier. He opened his mouth to somehow kill Landius. As he had done with Carlos, he wanted to take Landius’ life.
And at that moment, Landius opened his mouth.
He said in a very low voice.
“Go.”
My disciple.
Will you be also the sun that will lead the morning?
A smile spread across Landius’ face. At the time Malekith was puzzled, white wings of light left a beautiful trail in the dark sky.
Kajsa saw it.
Scarlet laughed.
Kamael, Lena, Velkian, and everyone witnessed the two people splitting the sky together.
“LET’S GOOOOOO!”
Let’s get the last hit!
Cordelia cheerfully exclaimed, and Jude tightly hugged such a Cordelia. They flew past Landius and rushed towards Malekith’s chest, or to be exact, towards Ascalon that was still stuck in the middle of the chest.
“You b*stards!”
Malekith angrily shouted.
However, he had already lost a lot of his strength due to the Trailblazer Sword.
Jude overcame Malekith’s Dragon Fear with the power of Ninth Heaven’s Nine Doors. Cordelia overcame the fear in a slightly different way.
“Last hit! LAST HIIIIIIIIIIIT!”
It was the last hit to the Ancient Dragon.
Furthermore, if they defeated the Ancient Dragon, they could get the Ancient Dragon’s Dragon Heart.
Her gamer brain was on overdrive.
She added the power of an angel to overcome the Dragon Fear.
“Grab!”
Jude and Cordelia grabbed Ascalon’s handle. At that moment, Cordelia used <Gravity> magic to land on Malekith’s chest as if they were standing on the ground.
“UOOOOOOH!”
Malekith tried to hit them in his chest.
A shadow loomed over their heads as a giant fist approached, but Jude and Cordelia did not care.
Attack before defending.
The best defense is a good offense!
“One hit for now!”
They released their power through Ascalon. Having been weakened to a certain extent, Malekith screamed in pain in response to their attack, and as a result, his fist did not properly hit the two. It just hit the place right next to it.
“Don’t stop! One more hit!”
Jude spoke and Cordelia looked at Jude.
The two instantly understood what the other wanted, and did what they had to do.
One hit using Ascalon.
It was simple.
They only needed to give Ascalon a huge amount of power.
But ordinary power was not enough.
No matter how weakened it might be, it was still an Ancient Dragon, so they needed to do their best to defeat it.
“UOOOOOOOH!”
Jude raised both his Yang and Yin energies at the same time.
An enormous amount of Yang energy was emitted from the Black Sun, and his natural extreme Yin energy was concentrated on his left hand.
But it was not balanced.
The extreme Yin energy that had been suppressed since birth could not be equal to the Yang energy of the Black Sun.
But Jude did not care. Cordelia was next to him now.
“Almas!”
Cordelia summoned the intensely cold sword in her right hand. After it generated an immense amount of cold air, she activated her magic again.
“<Life Drain – Reverse!>”
She pushed the life and extreme cold energies to Jude. She balanced the Yin and Yang energies by replenishing the lack of cold!
And the Great Protection of the Four Seasons was added.
The Winter Protection strengthened the Yin energy, and the Summer Protection reinforced the Yang energy.
Yin and Yang.
Cordelia’s senses and Jude’s calculations were precisely united to create a perfect balance.
And at that instant, Jude created a tremendous power by colliding the two opposing forces.
“ASCALOOOOOON!”
I’ve pushed it in.
I’ve infused it.
So wake up now!
[AAAAAAAAAH!]
Ascalon roared.
The dragon-hating dragon who brought death to dragons.
Kaboooooooooom!
The white light from Ascalon as it revealed its true form pierced Malekith’s chest. It did not stop there as it destroyed the chest itself. His chest burst as if an explosion had occurred inside.
“AAAAAAAH!”
Malekith screamed at the excruciating pain. He couldn’t even think because the pain felt like it was burning his brain. He fell to the ground instead of flapping his wings.
But it wasn’t over yet.
There was no white ring around them yet.
Jude and Cordelia who had torn Malekith’s chest were thrown into the air along with the scales, but the two looked ahead. Jude was in a bad state mentally and physically due to the aftermath of the explosion of his Yin and Yang energies that he was still not familiar with.
Cordelia was the same, as not only her left hand that she used to hold Jude was covered in blood, but also the entire left side of her body. She was unable to even use a bit of her magic.
But she still had something to do.
On Cordelia’s neck was a gift given to her by Jude a few days ago.
The Dragon Heart of an Adult Dragon.
Cordelia spread her wings. Jude held Cordelia’s waist, and she absorbed the Dragon Heart’s mana. She pulled back her right fist and focused her gaze on Malekith’s heart beyond the torn chest, shouting.
“Spirit King Punch!”
She punched. At that moment, the Spirit King’s fist broke through the air and appeared, punching Malekith’s huge red heart!
“KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-!”
Malekith cried again. And this time, he couldn’t hold on any longer. Because the Spirit King’s fist did not stop at hitting Malekith’s heart but tore it out altogether.
“Keuaa!”
That was his last breath.
It was the end of Malekith who woke up not completely healed.
“NOOOOOOOO!”
Sicilia’s screams were drowned by the loud sound.
Malekith’s massive body crashed to the ground, creating a storm of dust.
Thuuuuuud! Thud!
The ground shook.
And the last lightning struck.
The phenomenon caused by Malekith lost its driving force when Malekith died, and it began to return to normal.
The dark clouds dispersed.
The rain stopped.
The storm subsided, and the water regained its calm.
Jude and Cordelia landed on the ground.
They collapsed at the same moment because their legs had weakened, but their faces were full of smiles.
“Haa
 haa
 haa
”
Having fallen first by raising Cordelia up, Jude roughly breathed, and it was the same for Cordelia who was lying on Jude’s chest. The two coughed blood on each other almost at the same time.
“Kaaaaak-”
“Kaak-”
Jude’s body and mind were in a bad state.
Cordelia was completely exhausted after forcibly squeezing out her mana and suffering from the backlash.
However, the two did not lose their smiles.
They laughed like fools as rings of white light appeared in succession.
And blood was coughed out again.
It was Jude this time, and Cordelia said as she panted over Jude’s chest.
“We won.”
They had defeated Malekith.
Even though they had only dealt the last hit, they had saved the south from being destroyed. They had defended the SĂ€len Kingdom.
Actually, it wasn’t just the last hit.
Jude and Cordelia were the ones who created the present situation.
They rescued Lena, changed Landius’ mind, and united Paragon’s heroes.
Ascalon was added here too.
Everyone including Scarlet and Kajsa were brought together by Jude and Cordelia.
They had reached the island before Malekith woke up, and were able to put Ascalon in Malekith’s chest because of the two.
If they hadn’t done these, if only one of these listed facts was lacking, it would not have produced the same result as it was now.
Jude panted and nodded. He lifted his bloody hand and caressed Cordelia’s cheek.
Light shone down from the sky.
Belated shouts echoed from afar.
“We’ve gained a lot of levels.”
They didn’t know how many rings of light had appeared. They would have to go to the temple later to check it out, but anyway, it was clear that they had become stronger.
Jude stroked Cordelia’s hair. Cordelia wanted to crouch and put her chin on Jude’s chest, but she turned her gaze away. She lightly bit her lips, saying shyly.
“Next part.”
The next part you mentioned earlier.
I want to do it now.
Jude was startled for a moment before he bit his lips in the same way and nodded. He naturally hugged Cordelia’s head, and Cordelia stretched her neck that was lying face down on Jude’s chest. Their lips overlapped.
And then the next part.
The tip of Cordelia’s tongue protruded in between the gap in her lips. It gently intertwined with Jude’s tongue and became one.
It was such a strange experience. So Cordelia flinched for a moment, but it was only for a moment.
She felt her heart pounding as she did things she would never have normally imagined, such as kissing in the lips, shuffling with their tongues, and mixing their saliva.
“Haa
haa
”
They didn’t even know how long it went on.
Their lips parted and Cordelia’s breath touched Jude’s lips. Even before the thin line of saliva was cut off, the warm breath entered Jude’s mouth again.
The bitter taste of blood.
But it tasted sweet at the same time.
“Jude.”
“Yes, Cordelia.”
They called each other playfully. Cordelia had a big smile and whispered into Jude’s ear.
“I like you.”
I really, really like you.
I’m still embarrassed to say “I love you,” but I can say “I like you.”
Jude held his breath. He opened his mouth to give an answer. But instead of listening to his answer, Cordelia pressed her lips on Jude’s ear and poked her tongue out. Therefore, the startled Jude made a sound he would normally never make.
“Idiot.”
Cordelia giggled and cunningly smiled before she kissed his lips again, and Jude accepted her.
He embraced her small and slender body tightly.
And a dozen meters away.
Lena stood at a certain distance as though a line had been drawn, and she looked back at Kamael and asked.
“What should we do?”
“For now
 let’s take care of Landius. The remaining troops of the enemy cannot be ignored too, so let’s resolve that.”
“Uh, okay.”
As I thought, that’s for the better, right?
Kamael and Lena stepped back, while Scarlet and Kajsa, who had been running towards the two, coldly stared at them before turning around.
In their minds, they wanted to reprimand the two to consider the time and place, but they decided to overlook it for now. After all, these two were the heroes who saved the south – no, the entire kingdom.
From the wild lands.
The royal capital.
And now at the south.
Under the golden sun, Jude and Cordelia tightly hugged each other.
They enjoyed another victory that would lead to a perfect happy ending.
