After The Abyss Dragon Woke Up

Mine (1)

The intense magic fluctuations stirred and rolled like ash-like black dust floating in the air.

A pair of giant red-gold vertical pupils slowly opened in that thick poisonous fog.

The cruel oppression came quietly.

“Boom!”

The ground shook, and rocks crumbled.

With every step forward, the earth and sky seemed to be trembling.

The dragon in the fog revealed its huge figure, casting a deep shadow on the earth in front of it.

Under the black poisonous fog, the hard and cold dragon scales reflected a metallic luster. The dragon’s horns were slender with cold and hard lines.

Its eyes were like lava flames.

The humans on the cliff crouched their bodies lower, trembling in fear and ecstasy.

The leader of the men in black raised his head and gazed with fascination and fervor at the dragon in the distance.

It was a powerful ruler from ancient times, a horrible being that exists only in human fantasies and nightmares.

“Lord dragon–”

The man in black stood up in the gale, his black robe tossed and rolled.

His voice was torn apart by the wind and his tone was frenzied as he cried out, “Please send down divine punishment!”

From overhead came the low voice of the dragon, resonating faintly in its throat, incredibly majestic in the hurricane. “Divine punishment?”

“Lord Shi An! The human race is fortunate to be destroyed by you. Under your guidance, this world will end with a smile!”

Shi An: “…”

But this human just said something that made him concerned…

“You knew my name?” Shi An asked.

“Of course!” The man in black tilted his head up to gaze at the dragon before him and said in a morbid tone, “Only the willing sacrifice of a chosen soul could awaken you from your chaotic slumber and descend to this world!”

Shi An revealed a thoughtful look.

So…

The human Shi An was the so-called “chosen one.” Their name was not a coincidence and the human could obtain the method of summoning the dragon and complete the summoning ritual under such extreme circumstances was also not accidental. Still, it had somehow been secretly manipulated by this strange organization.

“There are no longer any humans in this world that could stop you!” The black-robed man’s voice echoed in the wind.

“We have retrieved the ancient book. The only person capable of deciphering the ancient book is already dead!”

He knelt on both knees, slowly opened the cloth bag at his feet, and took a head from it.

Blood dripped from the broken neck cavity, wetting the old man’s long, snow-white beard and trickling down the black-robed man’s fingers, instantly absorbed by the earth.

The depths of the dragon’s red-gold eyes reflected the tiny head held in the hands of the human before him.

“The only human who could harm you, the rumored dragon slayer’s bloodline, we have already sent people to handle him.”

The black-robed man bowed his head deeply before the dragon and said, “From today onward, no existence in the continent could harm you anymore!”

***

The man with silver hair and blue eyes stood in the vast darkness, gazing at the several black-robed men who stepped out of the night.

“Chief Mu.”

The group’s leader said softly in a hoarse voice, “I have been looking forward to meeting you for a long time.”

Mu Heng’s eyes were as calm as an ice-cold moonlight and the longsword in his palm flashed with a compelling sharp cold light.

He lowered his eyes, and his voice was low and cold. “… It seems that the Bureau needs to be cleansed.”

Behind him, several squads of Bureau members raised their weapons in unison, the sharp tips of their swords pointed at the man’s back.

“Cleanse?” The black-robed man sneered and said, “I’m afraid you no longer have this chance anymore.”

Before the words fell, a murderous aura suddenly rose in the pitch-black night.

Several people leaped up and attacked Mu Heng at the same time!

***

The black-robed man could not hear the sound overhead for a long time.

He paused, hesitantly lifted his head, and tentatively looked toward the giant dragon not far away.

Only to see the dragon dropping its gigantic silver head, exhalation wrapped in the scorching smoke breath, voice low and gruesome. “This human.”

“I don’t like him.”

He had lived less than a fraction of the long years he had lived but always gazed at him with the loving look of an elder.

Not only did he have to tolerate the other man’s slow and sluggish translation speed, but he also had to pretend he didn’t understand anything, trapped at the top of the cramped tower for long, boring, and dull hours.

Before the black-robed man had time to snicker, he felt the shadows slowly enveloping him.

The dragon’s eyes glowed the color of a blazing fire in the darkness, and its sharp, pointed teeth opened and closed with the words revealed, reflecting brilliant, snow-white light.

“But it seems that you don’t understand something.”

A powerful and horrible oppression came from the dragon’s body and an utterly sheer aura of darkness escaped from its body.

“This is my territory.”

It was like invisible ropes strangling the throats of all the humans in front of it.

“This human belongs to me.”

“–Mine.”

The dragon leaned down, blazing fire brewing deep in its throat, golden-red veins spreading out along its scales, the ghastly temperature instantly steaming, almost setting the air on fire.

His voice was low and majestic, bringing a vague vibration in the air.

“Anyone who dares to touch a dragon’s belonging will have to pay the price.”

The next second, a furious blaze rolled up as if it were flowing lava, instantly engulfing the entire crevice in front of him!
