“Ugh…!”

The dark dragon didn’t need to do anything. He simply watched. He didn’t unleash his energy or direct any killing intent. The oppressive weight pressing down on Burner’s body came solely from the dragon’s existence itself—a suffocating, overwhelming aura.

‘This… this is what a true god is…!’

For the first time, Burner felt the sheer magnitude of what it meant to face a being of divine power. The kind of enemy they were up against was absurdly beyond reason.

His eyes caught sight of the black chains wrapped around Beidos.@@novelbin@@

‘Chains…’

Beidos was currently sealed, his power diminished. Even though he had managed to corrupt dragons and seize control of a vast empire, it was clear that all of it had taken an extraordinary amount of time. Perhaps… this opponent wasn’t as insurmountable as he seemed.

‘If that’s the case…!’

Burner immediately activated a series of spells, layering them with the saint’s blessings. Anti-psychological magic, physical restoration, and a variety of buffs enveloped both him and Latis, clearing their minds and renewing their strength.

“Get a hold of yourself, Latis.”

Burner moved behind her, wrapping his arms around her trembling form. She was shaking, paralyzed by fear.

“Yonyong…” she whispered.

“You’re the one who said you’d take down the source of all this and set things right. I’m with you every step of the way, but if you lose your nerve now, how will we succeed?”

“…Thank you, Yonyong. I needed that,” she replied, shaking her head as if to clear it. Gripping her greatsword tightly, she took a steadying breath.

“You’ll stay with me, won’t you?”

“Always.”

The two stood side by side, facing the colossal dark dragon before them.
