Chapter 262


    It took more than a day to absorb a Dragon''s Mana Heart. Each Dragon Heart held about a thousand years'' worth of energy. Considering the immense amount of energy Mu-Gun absorbed, one day seemed like a surprisingly short period.


    Absorbing the energy from the Dragon Heart granted Mu-Gun ten <em>gapjas </em>worth of power. Although it ounted for roughly sixty percent of the total energy stored in one Dragon Heart, this achievement alone was truly remarkable.


    Truth be told, a Drake or a Wyvern''s Mana Heart held more than ten <em>gapjas </em>of energy. However, after extracting the demonic essence and purifying it with the Thunder God Qi, only two <em>gapjas </em>worth of energy would remain.


    On the flip side, he managed to absorb around sixty percent of the Dragon Heart''s energythree times more than that of a Drake or Wyvern''s Mana Heart. This served as evidence that a Dragon Heart''s energy was pure and high-dimensional. Even after absorbing the Dragon Hearts'' energy, Mu-Gun continued to circte his qi without taking a break.


    He ceased circting his qi only after fully integrating the Dragon Heart''s energy as his own. Through absorbing the Dragon Heart, Mu-Gun''s Thunder God Qi swiftly surpassed forty gapjas. Even though his internal energy surpassed human limits, it still fell short of summoning all four Spirit Kings simultaneously.


    To summon all four Spirit Kings, he needed to absorb at least one more Dragon Heart. Yet, absorbing another Dragon Heart immediately posed a challenge. Although hepletely assimted the first Dragon Heart, it required some time to stabilize. Rushing to absorb another Dragon Heart before the energy from the first one settled could lead to instability in his energy.


    In the worst-case scenario, he could find himself in a perilous situation with an overwhelming influx of energy. While the likelihood of such an event was low, Mu-Gun decided it was wiser to avoid risky attempts.


    Yet, in a scenario where hecked sufficient Thunder God Qi to summon all four Spirit Kings, facing the Dragons again could pose a problem. Nheless, Mu-Gun wasn''t overly concerned. With the absorption of the divinity within the Dragon Heart, his own divinity surged. Consequently, he could now wield significantly more power. Confident in his abilities, he believed he could handle the Dragons, provided they didn''t all charge at him simultaneously.


    Mu-Gun breached God''s boundary and reentered the Dragon Mountain Range. Activating the Thunder God''s Shadow, he swiftly soared into the territory. Within the Dragon Mountain Range dwelled four Dragon ns: Gold, Silver, Blue, and Red.


    Having already in three Dragons from the Red Dragon n, three ns remained. Mu-Gun began circling the Dragon Mountain Range, diligently seeking out the other three Dragon ns.


    In this manner, four hours slipped away. Mu-Gun detected a formidable energy akin to that of the Red Dragons, a singr presence. Confirming only one energy source, he swiftly navigated toward it. Simultaneously, he felt the massive energy moving in his direction, likely in response to sensing Mu-Gun''s own energy.


    Shortly after, Mu-Gun encountered a Gold Dragon, radiating a dazzling golden glow. They came to a halt, maintaining a distance of over three thousand feet. The Gold Dragon regarded Mu-Gun with cautious eyes, sensing the divine power emanating from him.


    The Gold Dragon, ze Gold Draconia, saw through Mu-Guns energy and said in surprise,


    <em>-Its a human being who possesses the divinity of the Sky God Yupir and the Spirit God Vahara, huh? No, you cant be called a human anymore since you have the divinity of two Gods. Also, though it is faint, I can slightly feel the almighty Bracants divinity too, it seems like you absorbed the Mana Heart of one of our kind.</em>


    Alongside his astonishment, ze harbored a profound wariness towards Mu-Gun. The revtion that Mu-Gun had absorbed a Dragon''s Mana Heart implied he had taken the life of a Dragon. ze couldn''t ensure the safety of its own life if Mu-Gun had indeed breached God''s boundary to y the Dragons.


    You might have guessed, but I killed one of your kind. However, I did not want that to happen. I gave them a chance to cleanse the sins of the past. Despite that, they refused my offer and attacked me. I had no choice but to kill them out of self-defense.


    <em>-Was it the Red n that you killed?</em>


    Thats right.


    <em>-The Red n had a deep grudge against the Gods who locked us here. If it was them, they would have attacked you, Gods representative.</em>


    Is the Gold n different from the Red n? Mu-Gun asked.


    <em>-Our Dragon ns went against the Dragon God Bracants mission and tried to destroy Avalon by standing on the side of the Demon God. Our sin was so severe that we would have nothing to say even if we were driven to extinction. However, the Gods showed the final mercy and trapped our Dragon ns here without annihting us. They gave us a chance to repent for ourselves here and fulfill the duty we have received from the Dragon God Bracant. I, ze Gold Draconia of the Gold n, am grateful for the mercy of the Gods and will faithfully follow the mission given by the Dragon God Bracant.</em>


    ze said with determined eyes.


    Mu-Gun discerned the honesty in ze''s demeanor. With the acquired divinity, Mu-Gun could assess the truthfulness of beings beneath him using the Thunder God''s Heavenly Eyes. In ze''s words and gaze, there were no falsehoods. ze genuinely repented for past transgressions and sought to fulfill the Dragon''s mission. While the future held the possibility of a change in ze''s mindset, at this particr moment, he spoke the truth.


    Then, are you willing to fight back against the Demon God with me?


    <em>-Did the Demon God descend again?</em>


    Yes. So, answer me. Are you willing to fight back against the Demon God with me?


    <em>-If you give me a chance, I will dly fight the Demon God.</em>


    Are you the only one left in the Gold n?


    <em>-Yes. I am the only surviving member of the Gold n.</em>


    Do you interact with the other Dragon ns?


    <em>-Imunicate with the Blue n from time to time, but I do not interact with the Red or Silver ns at all.</em>


    Do the Silver n, like the Red n, hold a grudge against the Gods and dream of revenge?


    <em>-Thats correct. Also, as you may have already guessed, the Blue n is on the same page as me.</em>


    What are the numbers of the Blue and Silver ns?


    <em>-There are two Dragons in the Blue n, and three in the Silver n.</em>


    I heard that eleven Dragons were originally trapped in Gods boundary. What happened to the other two?


    <em>-Even if we Dragons have a long lifespan, its not infinite. During the one thousand years we were trapped here, one Dragon from the Gold and Blue n returned to nature.</em>


    I see. In any case, half of the remaining Dragons, except for the Red n, still have not repented for their sins, huh.


    <em>-Their choice is a pity, but I hope you understand that after spending a thousand years trapped here, it is normal for them to harbor resentment that they originally didnt.</em>


    Thats true, if they were locked up for a thousand years, it wouldnt be strange for them to burst into rage. However, even if so, that doesnt justify their actions. Let me be clear. The Dragons that go against the will of the Gods will be condemned by death. Mu-Gun spoke firmly.


    <em>-Naturally. In exchange, please give them a chance to change their minds. Im sure they will change their minds if I exin things properly. They hold a grudge against the Gods because they feel repulsive to be locked up here for such a long time.</em>


    Fine. Rather than annihting the Dragons, I, too, hope to be able to join forces with them to eradicate the Demon God.


    <em>-Thank you for understanding. Then, I will go to the Blue n first. Climb onto my back. Its on the way anyway, so you dont need to use your power for no reason, right?</em>


    Alright, I owe you one.


    Mu-Gun did not decline and climbed onto zes back.


    <em>-Well then, shall we?</em>


    Once Mu-Gun mounted its back, ze swiftly took flight, retracing its path with impressive speed. Initially fast, ze''s speed increased with each powerful beat of its wings, rivaling Mu-Gun''s speed when utilizing the Thunder God''s Shadow.


    In an instant, ze traversed the Gold n''s territory and ventured into the domain of the Blue n. Shortly after entering the Blue n''s territory, Mu-Gun''s qi senses detected two colossal energy sources.


    The Dragons of the Blue n sensed ze''s energy and quickly appeared. Observing the arrival of the Blue n''s Dragons, ze immediately descended to the ground. The Blue Dragons alsonded in unison, aligning themselves with ze''s position.


    The Blue Dragons looked warily at Mu-Gun, who came with ze.


    <em>-Theres nothing to be wary of. He is Gods representative, who came to free us Dragons from Gods boundary.</em>


    <em>-Are you speaking the truth?</em>


    Thermeon Blue Draconia, the chief of the Blue n, asked ze to reconfirm.


    Its the truth. However, that is only if the Dragons reflect on their past sins and promise to fulfill the mission of the Dragons given by the Dragon God Bracant. Mu-Gun answered on behalf of ze.


    <em>-Thats a matter of course. We, the Blue n, have deeply regretted siding with the Demon God and have deeply reflected on our sins for the past one thousand years. To clear our sins of the past, we will faithfully obey the mission given by the almighty Bracant, </em>said Thermeon.


    The Demon God has descended in Avalon. I want to eradicate the Demon God with the help of the Dragon ns. Does the Blue Dragon n have any intention to fight against the Demon God alongside me?


    <em>-That is something that our Blue n has been longing for the past thousand years.</em>


    Thermeon answered without hesitation. Velios Blue Draconia, who appeared with Thermeon, also nodded, showing that he felt the same way.


    Mu-Gun did not doubt the two Dragons will and said, I respect the resolve of the Blue n. Also, I am honored to be able to fight alongside the Dragon ns.


    <em>-We should be the ones honored to fight with you, Gods representative. Also, thank you for allowing us to cleanse ourselves of our past sins.</em>


    You shouldnt thank me, rather, you should thank the Gods who have shown mercy without exterminating the Dragons.


    <em>-You, Gods Representative, can help us convey our thanks instead.</em>


    The Gods must have already known the Dragon ns feelings. Now then, we dont have much time, so lets talkter and go to the Silver n first.


    <em>-Before that, I have something to tell you.</em>


    What is it?


    <em>-The Gold and Blue ns were expecting a situation like this. Thus, we thought about how we could help Gods representative who woulde find us, and so, we decided to make a Chevalier Armor for Gods representative.</em>


    A Chevalier Armor? Mu-Gun asked in surprise as he had not expected it at all.


    <em>-Yes. We created a Chevalier Armor using the bones, scales, and Mana Hearts left behind by the Dragons of the Gold and Blue ns who returned to nature after their lifespan ended.</em>


    A Chevalier Armor made from the bones and scales of a Dragon, and uses a Dragon Heart as its core, huh? Feels amazing just from the sound of it.


    <em>-We guarantee that there is no better Chevalier Armor in the world than what we have made. However, we need one more Dragon Heart toplete it.</em>


    If youre talking about a Dragon Heart, I have two with me.


    To prevent the Blue Dragons from misunderstanding, ze exined to Thermeon about the source of the Dragon Heart that Mu-Gun possessed.


    <em>-It seems like the Red Dragons couldnt ovee their resentment and attacked him.</em>


    <em>-Thats a pity.</em>


    <em>-They brought it upon themselves.</em>


    <em>-In any case, since you have two Dragon Hearts, could you hand over one?</em>


    Thermeon asked Mu-Gun to hand over one Dragon Heart.


    Without any dy, Mu-Gun retrieved one of the two Dragon Hearts obtained from the Red n and presented it to Thermeon. epting the Dragon Heart, Thermeon essed its subspace and retrieved the Chevalier Armor.


    The Chevalier Armor unfolded by Thermeon extended to a length of twenty meters. Crafted with a seamlessbination of gold and blue scales, along with a frame constructed from Dragon bones, the armor possessed a formidable presence that left onlookers breathless in awe.


    Thermeon ced the Red Dragon''s Mana Heart into a core situated on the chest of the Chevalier Armor, concealing it beneath a chest te crafted from Dragon scales. Afterward, he carefully stowed the Chevalier Armor within the sealing stone of a bracelet fashioned from Dragon leather before presenting it to Mu-Gun.


    <em>-Take it.</em>


    I dont know if I can take this.


    <em>-This is something that no one but you can use anyway. Moreover, we made it for you in the first ce.</em>


    Then, I will gratefully ept it.


    Mu-Gun no longer declined and took the bracelet, wearing it on his wrist.


    <em>-Why dont you try it on?</em>


    Mu-Gun acknowledged ze''s suggestion with a nod and directed his Thunder God Qi into the sealing stone of the bracelet. Then, he infused the bracelet with his intent to don the Chevalier Armor.


    The sealing stone of the bracelet, infused with Mu-Gun''s energy and will, radiated an intense light. Subsequently, a cascade of golden and blue energy enveloped Mu-Gun''s form. In the blink of an eye, a colossal Chevalier Armor materialized, now adorning Mu-Gun''s figure.


    Upon wearing the Chevalier Armor, Mu-Gun experienced aplete assimtion of his senses and energy with the armor. It was as if he had transformed into a giant surpassing twenty meters in stature. The energy emanating from the Dragon Heart integrated into the Chevalier Armor left Mu-Gun astonished by its power.


    Thebined energy from the three Dragon Hearts surpassed Mu-Gun''s internal energy. With the energy of the Chevalier Armorplementing his internal reserves, he would no longer have to worry about the amount of his internal energy.


    Yet, the true essencey in the divinity harbored within the Dragon Heart. Upon merging with the Chevalier Armor, the divinity within the Dragon Heart seamlessly transferred directly to Mu-Gun.


    With the inclusion of the Dragon Heart''s divinity into Mu-Gun''s own, his divine power expanded. The mere act of wearing the Chevalier Armor nearly doubled Mu-Gun''s strength. While the definitive test woulde in battle, he harbored confidence that his current prowess wouldn''t fall significantly short, even against the formidable Demon God.


    Mu-Gun had never donned any of the Chevalier Armor crafted in the Avalon continent, but he perceived a substantial distinction between the avable armor and the one currently adorning him. Satisfied with the performance of the Chevalier Armor, he proceeded to disengage from it.


    Mu-Gun thanked the Dragons with all his heart,


    This was unexpected. But thank you for giving me the strongest Chevalier Armor that the Dragon n made with all their heart and soul.


    <em>-If you really think that way, put on the Chevalier Armor we made and eradicate the Demon God so that our Dragon n can atone for our past wrongdoings.</em>


    Dont worry. I will definitely eradicate the Demon God.


    <em>-How reliable. Well then, lets go meet the Silver n now.</em>


    Okay.


    Mu-Gun, along with ze and the two Blue Dragons, flew toward the Silver ns territory.
