Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Chapter 500: 500
The Death of the Dragon

Kant looked at the dragon that had fallen to the ground. Blood was flowing everywhere. The mutated tissues were exposed in the blood and flesh that bloomed. They shone with a demonic purple light, and a high concentration of mysterious energy was concentrated in them.

“Let me try,” he said.

“.. Try it?” Long Niang said in horror,” You like this?”

Kant was stunned at first, then he glared at her fiercely.

Lily put her hands behind her back and snorted. She turned her head to the side.” I didn’t warn you. Be careful not to be bitten back. Dragons are very strong.”

“Aren’t I protected by you and Ah Xing?” Kant smiled.

“You’re so determined to die, how can I protect you? Don’t treat me as your free bodyguard.”

Lily rolled her eyes and shifted her feet. She did not look at Kant but stared at the muscles on the dragon’s neck and back. She did not say a word.

Kant approached carefully with Ah Xing following closely behind him. He looked at the dragon’s body on the ground. At that moment, the body was still moving up and down, and blood was flowing. The dragon’s life force was fading at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a while, even with the support of the mysterious energy, it would inevitably walk towards death.

He pondered for a moment and decided to give it a try.

The flocks of rotting birds in the dense forest were blasted into ashes as soon as they came into contact with each other. None of them were left alive. The nameless monsters that rushed to the ground were extremely ferocious and uncontrollable. Most importantly, these two monsters did not have intelligence. Considering the risk of spreading, they had not been captured alive. However, it was different now.

He was facing a corrupted intelligent life form.

Distortions caused by the infection of the mysterious elements filled its body. In the perception of the Fire Stealer, the corrosive power of mutation was constantly expanding, changing its body functions and forcefully maintaining its life. The price was that its body mutated and lost its intelligence.

Before this, the dragon was still a lunatic, wanting to see what was going on, but it was still able to recognize Kant’s identity and its own identity. It also had a certain level of thinking ability.

When did he completely lose control and become a beast that couldn’t speak?

It was when the grenade bombardment and the purple shield were fully activated.

That meant that the mysterious energy was circulating at full power. Although it formed a powerful protection, it was also beginning to corrode the dragon’s body. It was the full activation of the purple energy that caused the dragon to completely lose control.

But now, Kant wanted to do the opposite.

Before the other party died, he would extract and grind away the mutated tissues that had grown in its body.

It absorbed the mysterious energy that was dissipating.

He wanted to see what would happen.

If he could make the other party regain his consciousness…At least he would know what had happened.

After all, this dragon was an intelligent creature. Now that it was on the verge of death, it did not have the ability to resist, but it would not die for the time being…It was worth taking a risk and trying.

Because of the missing dragon…There was an entire diplomatic mission.

He reached out and pressed down on the dragon’s rough skin. The mutation of the mysterious energy had caused the smooth dragon scales to become bumpy. Kant’s spiritual power spread out and the power of the Fire Stealer was unleashed, searching for the aberrations of the mysterious energy.

He found that the process was very smooth.

When the Fire Stealer’s power was used on living creatures, it would often evolve into the Divine Secrets Style, just like what the previous female boxer, the Fire Stealer, did. It would automatically start the process of swallowing and peeling them alive.

This was because a living being was a complete living being that could not be separated. The surging life force flowed endlessly, and it was impossible to accurately locate a specific part of the body. But this time was an exception.

This was because the infection and mutation caused by the mysterious elements were foreign invaders.

And for some reason, it had an extremely high response to the Fire Stealer’s spiritual power.

The extraction process was extremely smooth. He could feel the massive amount of mysterious elements being extracted and absorbed. They were contained in his palms and were extremely docile. To be on the safe side, the extracted elements were immediately infused into the ammunition and shells that were lined up in a row. Kant was fully focused on the extraction process.

With the abdomen as the center, it spread to the surrounding body parts.

“Eh…”

He suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Lily had been staring at the dragon’s muscles.” What’s wrong?” she asked immediately.

“Here.”

Kant pointed at the back of the dragon. It should be the origin of the spread. In other words, the earliest mysterious energy invaded there.”

Long Niang moved a few steps and narrowed her eyes. Interesting.”

” What?” Kant was puzzled.

Lily said with certainty,” This place is known as Carver’s Death, an allusion to the dragons. This place is the weakness of the dragons, the intersection of magic and blood. A legendary dragon died here when a divine artifact pierced through it. In human form, it is also a vital point on the back. It is also a weakness.”

“Every dragon has gone through defensive training and is taught to pay special attention to the defense here. Do you understand what I mean? Even if some powerful enemy injected the mysterious element into this dragon’s body, it wouldn’t be injected into this part. If the enemy wants to touch this part, they can only knock it down without being able to resist or directly kill it.”

“And there were no obvious external injuries on its body before.”

“Then there’s only one possibility…” Long Niang’s expression turned ugly.

” It was a sneak attack by a companion,” Kant said calmly.” Then, it was a sneak attack.”

Betrayal.

It was normal.

Lily didn’t say anything. Her eyes flickered, apparently unable to accept this guess.

After all, it was still a dragon.

She was still born on Dragon Island. Even though she resented the Conservatives and hated the entire race because of her heavy childhood, she was still a dragon.

The pride of the dragons, the glory of the dragons, the power of the dragons, the glory of the dragons, the history of the past, the customs of the race, the inheritance, the records, the stories, the epics, and the legends. These things imperceptibly influenced her personality, her views, and her attitude towards life. This was also the power of civilization.

Therefore, she couldn’t believe the guesses that appeared in her mind.

How could a dragon betray their own kind and use their own kind as experimental subjects?

At this moment, a dragon’s cough sounded.

The dragon head that was hanging on the ground raised its long neck and spat out a few mouthfuls of blood.

The gorilla immediately raised its long staff, ready to grab Kant with one hand and throw him a few kilometers away at any time. Horus was also warming up the engine’s spout and using long-range signals to command the battle platform to prepare to fire. However, the dragon seemed to have no strength left. It turned its vertical eyes with difficulty and saw the people around it.

It struggled and growled,”It’s you!” It’s you! Lily! You’ve disappointed us too much. You actually betrayed the race like your father. You actually…”

The voice was filled with anger and unwillingness.

As a new generation of dragons, it knew nothing about what happened in its early years. The elders kept it a secret and refused to reveal anything. However, the hatred, rejection, anger, and even resentment of the older dragons towards Lily were also seen, learned, and inherited by the younger generations.

After all, children were never burdened by bullying.

As they grew up, although they still did not know what the rebellious dragons did at that time, they perfectly inherited the banner of the previous generation and consciously defended the honor, dignity, and glory of their own race. Therefore, they were furious at Lily’s repeated mistakes.

Long Niang’s expression was calm, just like her usual, cold and indifferent.

Towards this kind of discrimination, anger, and even resentment for no reason, she was initially aggrieved, then puzzled, then confused, then angry, and finally used to it. She protected herself with an unchanged expression so that the young dragons who bullied her would not be able to enjoy bullying her. She used the ability to read her eyes to protect herself and judge the attitude and perception of the adult dragons she met.

Then, he would temper himself and train his strength.

To truly protect himself and then search for the truth.

This was how she had lived all these years.

But now, she was very calm in the face of her long-lost anger and fury. She looked at him and whispered,” Ochwell, are we the ones who should be accused the most?”

The huge vertical pupil suddenly shrank.

After seeing Lily, the instinctive accusation and roar were just the first thoughts that came to his mind. The reason why he did this was to escape, to escape the cruel reality.

And now, it remembered.

Betrayal, nightmares, disbelief, and despair.

The dragon could no longer roar angrily. It lay on the ground weakly and could only let out a series of wails. It muttered,” Betrayal. Madness. He has gone mad…”

“Who’s crazy?” Lily asked. Where are the other dragons?”

“Tricia…”

He was the leader of the diplomatic mission, the grandson of the Armory Elder.

The role was the second generation of the villain’s love rival, Quan, and the delivery boy.

Now, it seemed that this fellow had a lot of ideas.

The dragon said weakly,”He…” “We discovered this place and the things inside. They are pure, powerful, and fascinating. Tricia said that he wanted to find them, and he did it. We found them, but we paid a huge price. He is no longer normal. He said that he wanted to use this energy. He said that he wanted to restore the glory of the dragons. He said that this was a gift from the gods…”

Its tone became more and more vague and chaotic.

“I felt that something was wrong. I said that I had to report to Dragon Island first. This damn place is very terrifying, especially in the deeper parts. We had a disagreement, not just me, but others, and then I…”

The dragon’s voice was filled with pain.

After being ambushed, he injected the terrifying mysterious element into it and observed the changes…That should be the case.

“Where did you go?” Lily asked. What did you find? Where did Tricia go? What is it trying to do?”

“I… He… He said that he wanted to upgrade. He said that he wanted to unlock all the potential that was sleeping in the dragon’s body. It was the true power that the King of Gods, Akatum, had promised and bestowed upon us…”

“The River of Origin. It’s looking for the River of Origin,” the dragon said weakly.

“What’s that? Where is it?”

” Deep, deep. He said that it’s a holy and mighty spiritual river…”

“What is that thing?”

“River, that’s a river…”

As the dragon said this, its tone suddenly changed. It suddenly shook its neck and its body trembled as it tried to stand up, but this attempt ultimately failed.

As Kant continued to extract the mutated energy in his body, the dragon’s consciousness was gradually recovering. However, without the support and protection of the mysterious energy, the terrifying wounds caused by modern weapons were rapidly devouring his life. Death was not far away.

He understood his current situation and his tone was anxious.

“Lily…” He stopped answering the other party’s question. Instead, he asked uneasily and fearfully,” Am I going to die? Lily, save me. I don’t want to die…”

Even a powerful dragon would still be reluctant and afraid when facing the end of its life.

” I can’t do anything about it,” Long Niang said slowly.” The time for the dragon to die has come.”

“Impossible!” the dragon roared angrily. Impossible! You must not want to save me! You must still hate us, right? You descendant of a rebellious dragon, you are just like your father…”

He cursed and roared, but it was useless other than speeding up his death.

That was because he saw a tall and beautiful figure looking at him quietly. Her pale golden hair fell, and her black dress fluttered in the wind. Her indifferent expression did not change.

Just like a long time ago.

The little dragon that was rejected, bullied, and amused by them when they were young.

She seemed to have never changed.

They were the ones who had changed.

Orchewell’s soul trembled, and the curses at the corner of his mouth gradually weakened. Dragon tears flowed out and fell to the ground, turning into crystal beads. He slowly laid down his neck and slowly said,”… I’m sorry.”

Until now, when his life had come to an end, the past surfaced in his mind. In his final clarity, he was able to face his own heart thoroughly. The bullying and rejection when he was young, the awkwardness and posturing when he grew up, in fact, some feelings had quietly changed. It was just that they had never realized it, or were unwilling to.

So when they heard that Lily had made a dragon’s oath with a human, they were all furious. Half of the delegation was a group of bullies when they were young. They followed the opinions and opinions of their parents and clamored to punish the new traitor. But now he understood the source of their anger.

It was only when he was experiencing the dragon’s impending death and facing the fear, uneasiness, and darkness that he realized that what he had done earlier was inappropriate and should not have been done.

“I’m sorry.”

” I shouldn’t have treated you like that. I shouldn’t have done it before, and I shouldn’t have done it now. Lily, I’m going to die…” Can you forgive me?”

His eyelids gradually drooped, and he heard the sound of death descending. In his increasingly blurry vision, he vaguely saw the figure standing in front of him, the one he had neglected, the one he had once avoided, the one who finally realized his true feelings but it was too late. It had now become an eternal regret, but at the moment of death, she was by his side. Perhaps it was Akatum’s gift that she could finally reveal her true feelings.

He could vaguely see that beautiful face, that face that had always been cold and unchanging, revealing a beautiful smile that he had never seen before. It was as if ice and snow had melted.

It was like a dream.

He saw the last scene he would ever see in his life. It was beautiful and breathtaking.

Then, he heard the last voice he heard in his life.

The voice was gentle and beautiful, like the sound of nature.

“I can’t.”

After hearing this voice, the dragon’s soul shook violently as if it had been hit by a sledgehammer. A strong throbbing sensation surged, and then the world fell silent. Darkness fell, and its consciousness dissipated like sparks.

The dragon’s eyes were wide open, and the light in them had faded.

” No,” Lily said.” Dragon Fall.”

Kant retracted his hand. He sensed that all aberrations had been extracted.

The dragon returned to normal, and the dragon skeleton was pure.

He stood up and looked at the dead giant dragon. Blood was flowing out of its body. It was a huge creature. Unlike the dragon skeleton that had been torn into pieces by the air-to-air missiles during the Battle of Danfeng and Lucerne, this dead giant dragon was lying on the ground. Although it was covered in injuries, its corpse was well-preserved, like a mountain.

“Long Yun.” He repeated the term Lily mentioned and asked,” What’s that?”

” If a dragon dies due to an accident and cannot return to the dragon tomb to be buried, its magic power will gradually drain from its remains. Its scales will slowly lose their luster, and the weak parts of its body will gradually begin to rot, which will then spread. Powerful vitality and magic power will flow to the earth and return to all living beings. It will have a long-term impact on the environment, which will then affect the entire ecological community.”

Lily looked at the dragon that was completely silent and explained softly.

” This process is known as the fall of a dragon. The place where a powerful dragon falls will form an area rich in magic power hundreds of years later. It could be a Dragon Blood Forest, a Magic Valley, or a spring filled with magic power…Minerals, materials, soil, creatures, and the legacy of the dragon will benefit the region for a long time.”

After Lily finished explaining, she added another paragraph.

“It’s just that there hasn’t been any dragon deaths in the past few hundred years.”

” Because the Dragon Emperor’s welfare policy from cradle to grave is too generous, and there’s also the strict insurance and pension recognition that ‘if you don’t see the corpse, you’re not dead but missing.’ All the dragons who died in battle or died of old age will try their best to return to Dragon Island. Even if they don’t have the strength to fly back, they will use their last magic power to send a corpse collection signal to Dragon Island. You understand, right?”

“Because Dragon Island has an inheritance law. If you die and don’t see your corpse, even if you go through the forced inheritance procedure, you will still be severely deducted by Dragon Island…”

Kant didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

The solemn ceremony of the dragon’s death also diluted the atmosphere.

The next moment, he seemed to realize something. He looked at Lily and said,”…” Are you alright?”

Long Niang snorted.” The enemy died right in front of me, and he even died from a backstabbing internal fight. Furthermore, my hands aren’t even stained with blood. Seeing these idiots fight each other to death, I’m so f * cking happy, okay? Sad my ass, why should I be sad?”

As she said this, she turned her head slightly to the side.

– But I didn’t say you were sad, silly girl.

Kant’s eyes flickered. In the end, he only smiled.” Congratulations. I’ll go check the equipment.”

He turned around and left with Ah Xing.

Lily was left standing still, facing the dragon skeleton.
