All the dragon knights in Dark Age were mix breeds between humans and dragons.

And if you climbed up the genealogy tree of those dragon knights there was the greatest dragon God- the world dragon Yggdrasil.

It didn’t mean that the world dragon had many dragon knights as its children. It didn’t even have one.

If you wanted to speak about it there was a need to explain the general background of Dark Age.

The strongest race in Dark Age were the dragons.

It was an existence that could exist by its own and that’s why they were called as the only kings, and each possessed strength equivalent to Gods.

Because of that the strongest race were the dragons even if you saw them individually or as an entire race.

The dragons didn’t have groups. Each of them ruled over their territory as expected of their nickname, the only kings.

But everything changed when he appeared.

The fierce king Eidra.

He had outstanding strength even among the dragons and was an existence that could be called as the God of dragons.

He was the one that had the belief that they should use all the other races as dragons as the kings of the worlds, the strongest races of dragons.

Countless dragons agreed to his ideals. There were a minority that didn’t but they couldn’t resist in front of Edira’s power.

Eidra conquered the world in an instant and the dark age arrived.

But there were still little stars in the pitch black sky.

The several Gods of their races stood up for their race. They transmitted strength to stand up to Eidra.

The several jobs in Dark Age was born like that.

The warriors received the blessing of the God of orcs and the God of war Karak Durga, and the archers received the blessing of the God of hunt and werewolves, Emeldra. The number of jobs receiving the blessings of the race Gods easily surpassed twenty.

And a small minority of them, the ones that had obtained extreme accomplishments in their jobs awakened the ancient power sleeping in their blood and could become more special beings.

The dragon knight was a class that got awakened like that.

All the dragon knights received a revelation the moment they woke up. And the one that sent down that revelation was the real God of dragons, World dragon Yggdrasil.

The dragon knights could use the power of dragons thanks to its blessing and a minority of them became existences that even surpassed dragons.

Because of that, you could say that all the dragon knights were believers of the World dragon Yggdrasil and its knights.

But not everyone was the same. World dragon Yggdrasil only had one real knight.

The incarnation of the World dragon.

The one that executed the force of the World dragon.

The one that received its order to execute the fallen dragons.

That was the Knight of World Dragon.

It was the title of the strongest dragon knight Kalsted.

Tae Ho raised his head.

Now that he had transformed into the incarnation of the World dragon, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he was a dragon with the appearance of a human.

But he wasn’t a normal dragon.

Dragon Vane.

The executor that killed countless dragons.

The dark blue divinity certainly belonged to the master of Asgard. It was made up with the power of the God of battle and conquer.

But it didn’t end there. A strong dragon killing aura was filling up that divinity.

Actually it wasn’t complete yet. it was because he needed the dragon sword Astellone, that was the other incarnation, to become the real incarnation of the World dragon.

But he didn’t lack anything.

It was enough with how he was.

The children of Echidna woke up from their faint. It was because the nasty dragon killer aura took off even their freedom to be passed out.

The children of Echidna laid down and suffered while groaning.

Adenmaha looked at Tae Ho’s back and gulped dry saliva. She knew that Tae Ho’s strength was protecting her and everyone else but even so she couldn’t help but tremble.

She thought of the moment she faced the strongest dragon killer of Asgard, Sigurd. No, it wasn’t only that. The aura Tae Ho was releasing was much stronger.

Drakon Ismenios cried and praised Tae HO’s strength even while trembling in fear and pain. Nidhogg breathed roughly as if it was uncomfortable to breathe and sat down. Perhaps you got influenced more the stronger dragon you were.

Hydra laid down and didn’t move. No, it seemed like she couldn’t do anything.

Adenmaha gulped dry saliva. Even the ones getting protected by Tae Ho were like this. Then, what would happen to the ones facing him directly?

Adenmaha looked up at Echidna. She had released her red aura as an ancient dragon to face the dark blue aura but she didn’t show the same leisure as before. She was also groaning in the middle of her fear and pain.

A natural enemy.

A dragon specialized other dragons.

Tae Ho extended his hand. He grabbed Caliburn in his right hand and the shield of Achilles in his left.

He then spread his wings of light and flew up.

Adenmaha gulped dry saliva. She looked at Echidna while holding her hands that trembled out of nervousness.

Echidna was looking at Tae Ho and at some point she retrieved her red aura that was facing Tae Ho’s aura.

“I surrender. I lost. I don’t want to fight.”

Echidna returned to her Goddess form and raised her arms. She had given up so quickly it bewildered Adenmaha.

But it was different for Tae Ho. It was because he had expected the situation to flow like this to some extent.

It was the same for Cuchulainn.

‘Echidna didn’t even want to fight from the beginning.’

She clearly had strength but she didn’t enjoy fighting.

In the first place, this battle hadn’t happened because she wanted.

Tae Ho’s group attacked Echidna and her children when they were living peaceful and the children of Echidna just attacked back in defense.

But of course, it was hard to say that Echidna was Tae Ho’s enemy as she was a being wanting to maintain the world but in her position she was being dragged forcefully to the battlefield along her children. It wasn’t illogical to resist.

‘He even denied my proposal.’

Echidna’s field of interest was to give birth to strong children. That’s why she had proposed Tae Ho to make some children as well as to avoid the current situation but Tae Ho had denied her bluntly. That’s why the only option she had left was to use all her force to chase away the perpetrators.

But even that hadn’t worked. The perpetrators were just too strong.

‘Why fight if I can’t even win? The objective of the opponent isn’t even to exterminate us.’

Tae Ho had only knocked out her children and didn’t kill them. He also wasn’t planning to kill Echidna herself.

That’s why she would just surrender and save her forces. She would prevent a situation where someone could die.

This was Echidna’s judgement and it was what Tae Ho and Cuchulainn hoped for.

But Tae Ho didn’t remove his state of the ‘incarnation of the world dragon’. He looked at Echidna and said.

“It’s a battle for Olympus and for Asgard and the nine realms. I hope you and your children assist us.”

He spoke as the master of Asgard and it was also his sincerity.

Actually, Tae Ho wasn’t comfortable at the current situation. It was also atrocious when he looked at his doings.

But it was a necessity. Tae Ho looked at Echidna with serious eyes and she frowned slightly and shrugged her shoulders.

“Can’t do anything about it. Fine, I will do that. It seems like we have quite a lot of chances to win compared to the start so I will bet on you.”

She even smiled brightly in the end. Her way of speaking had also gotten more comfortable compared to the beginning.

Actually, there was some difference in Echidna’s overlooking and Hraesvelgr’s overlooking.

If Hraesvelgr had just been silent in the highest branch to protect it, Echidna was curling down as she didn’t knwo what to do.

The current Olympus actually belonged to the Gods that had turned into beings wanting to destroy the world.

There were still some Gods that remained as beings wanting to maintain the world but most of them had suffered great injuries or got really weakened because their sacred force got robbed from them.

What could Echidna do in this situation aside of curling down?

In addition, she and her children got attacked by the Gods and heroes of Olympus because of the simple reason that they were monsters.

For her the Gods of Olympus were beings that were hard to make an alliance with whether they were beings wanting to destroy or maintain the world.

‘The one that killed Ares is Idun’s warrior.’

Echidna could also be certain of it now. That’s why she could see their prospects to win a bit higher.

Tae Ho let out a short sigh of relief as Echidna agreed obediently. But it hadn’t ended completely yet. The words above Echidna’s head had only changed from red to grey, it wasn’t green yet.

It certainly seemed like only an agreement wouldn’t be enough.

“Thank you for answering. But……”

Tae Ho paused the last part of the sentence and then flew softly in front of Echidna by moving his wings. He faced her head on and said.

“It’s the last stage. Take me in, Echidna.”

Tae Ho raised his head. Echidna glanced at Tae Ho’s hands and Hydra looking at them from far away and then smirked and answered with a bewitching voice as if trying to seduce him.

“Do it gently, it’s my first time.”

Every movement of hers was enough to shake the hearts of the ones that were watching but it didn’t work on Tae Ho. His blinded love had even fended back against the seduction of the Goddess of beauty.

“I will start.”

Tae Ho placed his hand on Echidna’s forehead. Echidna closed her eyes slowly and Tae Ho activated his saga.

[Saga: The one that conquers dragons]

Echidna didn’t reject Tae Ho like she promised. She took Tae Ho’s control obediently.

[Ancient dragon]

[Goddess of dragons]

[The mother of all monsters]

[Tae Ho’s dragon]

[Echidna]

The grey words changed into a clear green.

Tae Ho pulled his hand back slowly and Echidna turned to look at herself with a languid face.

“They all passed over?”

It wasn’t only Echidna. Tae Ho put on a sorry face and looked at the entire cave.

There were green words everywhere he looked. The green words were clear even on the children of Echidna that hadn’t participated in the battle.

‘We passed over one trial.’

Cuchulainn let out a long sigh and said. But it wasn’t done yet. He still had something he had to do.

“It’s not something we should hurry but it’s good if we finish it in one try.”

“Huh? Is there something left?”

As Echidna tilted her head and asked, Tae Ho glanced at Adenmaha and then spoke in a low voice and Echidna put on a confused face at his words but then nodded.

She cleared her throat and then said.

“It’s a meeting.”

‘Nasty bastard.’

Cuchulainn said and Tae Ho put on a satisfied smile.
