Chapter 260


    Mu-Gun stepped through the unlocked door into the Dragon Mountain Range. As he entered, the boundary door closed behind him.


    Mu-Gun extended his senses to their utmost capacity, scanning the Dragon Mountain Range for any sign of a Dragon. Before long, a formidable energy surged towards him. It appeared as though something was hastening to investigate upon sensing the opening of Gods boundary.


    <em>There are three of them in total.</em>


    Three Dragons were closing in on Mu-Gun''s location. The lore spoke of eleven Dragons confined within the Dragon Mountain Range. Given the Dragons'' remarkably long lifespans, spanning thousands of years, it was highly likely that all eleven Dragons remained alive.


    The presence of only three Dragons approaching could be attributed to the vast expanse of the Dragon Mountain Range. It was highly likely that the Dragons located rtively far away did not detect Gods boundary opening.


    Mu-Gun felt a sense of relief. Dealing with a smaller number of Dragons in a potential battle was to his advantage. Moving cautiously within the Dragon Mountain Range, he patiently awaited the approaching Dragons.


    Atst, three Dragons appeared one after another before Mu-Gun. Soaring through the sky, each Dragon stood an imposing sixty meters tall, adorned with two long horns atop their heads and gleaming scales covering their entire bodies. The sight was nothing short of overwhelming.


    The Dragons confronting Mu-Gun emitted a vibrant red glow. They were known to be the most violent among the Dragon speciesthe Red Dragons. Confirming the rumors, the three Red Dragonsnded with a ferocious presence, causing the surroundingnd to tremble under their colossal weight.


    The smallest of the Red Dragons spotted Mu-Gun and spoke. Identified as Calderoon Red Draconia, it held the Dragon Title and boasted a staggering lifespan of over four thousand years,


    <em>-I wondered who had broken through Gods boundary, but its a human being, huh?</em>


    The Red Dragon that touched down before Mu-Gun detected his energy and spoke. Known as Calious Red Draconia, this Dragon held the title and had also surpassed the age of four thousand years,


    <em>-Looking at you, I can feel divinity from you. Seems like you are not a normal human being.</em>


    The Red Dragon, whichnded on Mu-Guns right, added on to Calious words. Its name was Carcion Red Draconia, the chief of the Red Dragon n,


    <em>-He is also a human being who possesses the Sky God Yupir and the Spirit God Vaharas divinity.</em>


    Calderoon tantly disyed hostility and spoke,


    <em>-Hes a follower of the Gods who locked us up here for a thousand years, huh? Though I wonder why he broke through Gods boundary and came here.</em>


    Mu-Gunprehended every word as the Dragons conversed with each other in front of him. They spoke in Dragon Tongue, thenguage peculiar to their kind.


    Although Mu-Gun had never studied Dragon Tongue, he inexplicably understood the Dragons''nguage as if it were second nature to him.


    It was one of the capabilities his divinity possessed.


    I came here to give you Dragons an opportunity as the Sky God Yupirs representative, Mu-Gun spoke to the Dragons, who were openly hostile to him.


    <em>-Did you just say an opportunity?</em>


    Carcion, the leader of the Red Dragons, asked in bewilderment.


    "The Dragons aligned with the Demon God, aiming to annihte Avalon, forsaking the mission assigned by the Dragon God Bracant. This choice amounted to a rejection of your God, Bracant, and a denial of your inherent nature. I present you with an opportunity to absolve yourselves of the sinsmitted in those dark times."


    <em>-How impertinent. Who do you think you are to give us an opportunity?</em>


    "As I mentioned before, I stand as the representative of the Sky God Yupir. Furthermore, I carry the mantle of the Spirit God Vahara''s mission. Possessing the divinity of these two paramount Gods, I hold the power to release the Dragons from Gods boundary."


    <em>-Lets say thats the case, but how are you going to cleanse us of our sins?</em>


    "The Demon God has once more descended upon thisnd. Should the Dragons assume a leading role in vanquishing the Demon God, the Gods will forgive the transgressions of the past. Furthermore, the entirety of Avalon''s inhabitants willud and revere the greatness of the Dragon species."


    <em>-In a nutshell, you need the power of our species to stop the Demon God. However, our species does not have the intention of fighting for the Gods. You want to borrow our strength now after banishing us in this ce for the past thousand years? If you knew what a painful time our species has been through here, you wouldnt be asking something of the sort.</em>


    In the end, are you going to once again reject the mission that the Dragon God Bracant has given to the Dragon species?


    <em>-The mission of a God, which has already ceased to exist, no longer binds our species.</em>


    The Dragon God Bracant met its demise in a sh with the Demon God during its prior descent upon Avalon. With its existence extinguished, the Divine Command it once held over the Dragon species lost itspelling influence.


    The only way was for the Dragons to voluntarily adhere to Bracants Divine Command. Yet, the Red Dragons seemed intent on rejecting this course.


    Then, you will have to stay here forever.


    <em>-That was the case if you didnt show up here.</em>


    I have no intention of letting you out of the boundary.


    <em>-Your will is not important. Whats important is that we want that.</em>


    Upon this revtion, the three Dragons exchanged nces among themselves. Observing their looks and words, Mu-Gun discerned their intent to overpower him.


    As expected, the three Dragonsunched an assault on Mu-Gun. Their ws soared in three different directions, converging on Mu-Gun. Apanied by an explosive impact, the ground beneath the Dragons'' strikesy in ruin.


    Even for Mu-Gun, escaping unscathed from a blow by a Dragon''s ws would be impossible. Yet, with swift agility, Mu-Gun deftly evaded just before the Dragons'' ws could make contact.


    Upon realizing the futility of their attacks, the Dragons beat their massive wings. A formidable wind pressure, surpassing even that of the Wyverns, surged towards Mu-Gun like an unleashed storm. The forceful gusts, generated by the Dragons'' wings, ttened the space within a radius of hundreds of meters in an instant.


    Once more, Mu-Gun swiftly propelled himself upward, escaping the imminent danger. Simultaneously, the three Dragons ascended into the sky, expelling me Breaths from their mouths. A formidable ze, surpassing the might of the Wyverns, descended upon Mu-Gun from three different directions.


    Using the Thunder God''s Aerial Steps and the Thunder God''s Shadow, Mu-Gun skillfully dodged the iing me Breaths. Yet, the relentless mes pursued him persistently. The Dragons, adjusting their aim, redirected the trajectory of their me Breaths towards Mu-Gun''s evasive path.


    elerating quickly, Mu-Gun rapidly outpaced the pursuing me Breaths. With precision, he unleashed the Heavenly Thunder Storm Burst. A myriad of Thunderbolt Swords descended from the sky, striking the back and wings of the three Dragons, unleashing a cascade of rampant lightning.


    Undeterred by the onught of Thunderbolt Swords, the three Dragons swiftly retaliated against Mu-Gun. Disying only a momentary stagger in the sky, they synchronized their movements, swinging their long tails at him. From the tails of the three Dragons, red scales shot forth simultaneously towards Mu-Gun.


    In a swift response to the iing onught of red scales, seemingly covering the entire sky, Mu-Gun hastily triggered the Golden Thunder God Star. The red scales cascaded over the Golden Thunder God Star like a shower, inducing multiple earth-shattering explosions to reverberate.


    Yet, the scales proved ineffective against the imprable barrier of the Golden Thunder God Star, being deflected upon contact. Simultaneously, the three Dragons closed in on Mu-Gun, releasing a torrent of me Breath.


    The colossal me Breaths descended upon Mu-Gun from the sky, forcefully impacting him. Despite the Golden Thunder God Star sessfully blocking the me Breaths, Mu-Gun was thrust backward and crashed into the ground, unable to withstand the overwhelming force.


    Exerting all his strength, Mu-Gun unleashed a powerful wave of Thunder God Qi against the descending me Breaths. The Golden Thunder God Star transmitted the surge of Thunder God Qi, momentarily repelling the me Breaths. Seizing the opportunity created by this momentary setback, Mu-Gun swiftly employed the Thunder God''s Shadow, evading to the side.


    Transforming into a streak of lightning, Mu-Gun deftly sidestepped the oing me Breaths. The fiery breaths struck the ground, promptly transforming the entire area into a zing sea of fire.


    Evading the me Breaths, Mu-Gun swiftly summoned the Wind Spirit King and the Ice Spirit King. While summoning all four Spirit Kings would have been ideal, he currentlycked the internal energy required to summon the entire quartet.


    Hence, he opted to summon the Wind Spirit King Nervatum and the Ice Spirit King dium, their attributes being more favorable in countering the Dragons.


    The three Dragons, upon noticing the summoning of Nervatum and dium, promptly released a torrent of me Breath. Nervatum dispersed like the wind, skillfully avoiding the fiery onught, while dium conjured an ice dragon to counter the me Breaths head-on.


    The Ice Spirit King''s summoned ice dragon sumbed to the ferocity of the me Breaths, resulting in the formation of a fleeting steam cloud. Nevertheless, this moment passed swiftly, as the cold energy emanating from the ice dragon froze the me Breaths, causing them to shatter into fragments of ice.


    Dodging the me Breaths, Nervatum swiftly conjured a powerful windstorm directed at Calderoon,unching a retaliatory strike. Simultaneously, dium halted the me Breaths and unleashed an ice storm toward Calious, countering the attack directed at her.


    Overwhelmed by the assaults from Nervatum and dium, Calderoon, and Calious found themselves unable to divert their attention to Mu-Gun. The powerful attacks of the two Spirit Kings demanded their full focus. With Calderoon and Calious upied, Mu-Gun''s adversary was naturally determined to be Carcion.


    <em>-Its amazing that you can summon two Spirit Kings. However, you will consume a lot of energy too. I wonder how long you will be able to endure it.</em>


    Dont worry, I will finish the fight before I run out of energy.


    <em>-Kahaha! It seems like you think you can win quickly if you are just dealing with me alone. From now on, allow me to show you how big of a delusion that is.</em>


    Carcion spoke in a baffled tone and then used Dragon Tongue Magic at Mu-Gun.


    <em>-Dragon of Fire!</em>


    Upon Carcion''s utterance of the catalyst words, nine ming dragons materialized and attacked Mu-Gun. These fiery dragons soared towards him with a semnce of life. Mu-Gun sensed that the onught would persist until all nine fire dragons were eradicated.


    Shrouding his entire body with the Golden Thunder God Star, Mu-Gun conjured a golden Thunderbolt Sword in each hand. The golden thunder qi emitted from Mu-Gun''s hands swiftly coalesced, taking the form of a Thunderbolt Sword.


    The golden Thunderbolt Swords, exceeding ten meters in length, embodied the profound principle of the Infinite Thunder Sword. This signified that the colossal Thunderbolt Swords in Mu-Gun''s grasp held the potency equivalent to thebination of ten thousand regr Thunderbolt Swords.


    Mu-Gun wielded the Infinite Thunder Swords, shing at the nine fire dragons closing in on him. A golden surge of lightning radiated from the Infinite Thunder Swords, expanding like a and enveloping all nine fire dragons. The fire dragons, ensnared in the web of lightning, erupted into chaos, apanied by a resounding explosion.


    Upon witnessing Mu-Gun effortlessly destroy the fire dragons, Carcion was taken aback and responded by unleashing a second round of Dragon Tongue Magic.


    <em>-Fire of Sun!</em>


    True to its name, Fire of Sun was a magic that harnessed the mes of the sun, hurling them at the enemy. These sun-infused mes wielded the ultimate power to incinerate everything in their path.


    With a single nce, Mu-Gun discerned the powerful force encapsted in the red mes nketing the sky. Reacting swiftly, he unleashed a wave of Thunder God Qi, activated the Golden Thunder God Star, and simultaneously employed the Infinite Thunder Sword to envelop himself in a barrier of thunder.


    The sky-epassing red mes descended upon the barrier of thunder as if they had been awaiting this opportune moment. The thunderous barrier retaliated by emitting a surge of lightning in an attempt to repel the sun''s mes, but it proved insufficient.


    The sun''s mes melted the thunderous barrier, causing it to dissipate. Continuing its trajectory, the sun''s me struck the Golden Thunder God Star. Initially, the Golden Thunder God Star served as a nineyered protective vajra qi.


    Yet, Mu-Gun bolstered theyers to an astonishing ny-nine. Despite this formidable defense, the sun''s me melted through theyers of the Golden Thunder God Star and prated within.


    The Golden Thunder God Star didn''t yield easily. Even as it melted, it emitted continuous waves of lightning, putting up a fierce struggle to quell the encroaching sun''s me. Eventually, its resilience began to manifest. The sun''s me weakened noticeably as soon as the Golden Thunder God Star was reduced to fifteenyers, sumbing to the power of the Golden Thunder Qi.


    In the end, the sun''s me vanishedpletely, leaving the nineyers of the Golden Thunder God Star unscathed.
