Chapter 409: Dialugia, Juliana (3)
I thought I had to pretend I didn’t know her desperately.
‘I thought she was crazy, but…’
As the battle progressed, I realized that she was more out of her mind than I could fathom.
Of course, it made sense for her to get that enraged.
The reunion with her better half, whom she had never ceased to love, lasted for only a few moments.
She thought her lover was in a situation wherein he was kidnapped and imprisoned by an unknown demonic force. Considering that the two of them had a tragic ending before, it wouldn’t be unreasonable for her to get so angry.
I had a lump in my throat due to the story that would’ve brought tears to anyone who heard it, but it didn’t change my decision to get out of there.
She was simply that grotesque.
-The curse! The curse will fall upon you! The curse! I will drag your carcasses and travel around all kinds of continents. I will give you the most miserable death so that you will continue to suffer even in the afterlife! These trash bastards! These dirty bastards! I will trample on your corpses and make everyone associated with you suffer eternally in the fires of hell!
The black smoke swiftly enveloped the enemy forces. Although purification spells were constantly procured, Juliana’s curse was impossible to be exorcised with divine power.
It wasn’t the kind of ability that showed its effects in a short period of time, but it was enough to affect the troops standing in the middle of the battlefield.
“Don’t come here! Don’t come any closer! Shit! Don’t come any closer!”
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!”
“Block! Don’t let her come! Mother, mother!”
“S-Save… Run! Run! We’ll all die! We’ll all die!”
Our enemies continued to scream in fear, not even the unexpectedly good son was left in peace. Juliana looked more like a maniac than a swordswoman as she wielded her sword and with her torn mouth wide open.
“Don’t come here!”
-You deserve this pain! Kyahihahahaha! Humans like bugs! Ugly humans! You deserve all the curses! Die! Die! Die! Diiiiieee!
The tentacles, extending from her in all directions, pierced through the enemy soldiers’ armors too easily.
Those who were stung by tentacles weren’t given a swift death. Those who were shouting all kinds of things were already under the influence of the curse.
She dragged around the body of a soldier who had already died several times. She was also seen hitting his head over and over again with the handle of her sword.
As the battle progressed, the enemy soldiers affected by the curse continued to shout in confusion. It was only natural for normal human beings to be scared of the situation.
Even I didn’t want to be in that place. Therefore, I moved away from it in a hurry.
This was because even the ally troops were staring at Juliana as if they were tired of her, and I felt my consciousness grow heavier. I had no choice but to say something.
“It’s dangerous. I-it looks like the seal I had put on her has been released.”
“Ah…”
Of course, that was bullshit, but for now, I had to insist on that like it was the truth.
I didn’t even know who I was talking to.
However, seeing the soldiers nodding hard, I was a bit relieved.
‘That’s why it’s important to leave a good impression.’

“I-I see. Honorary Cardinal, then that’s…”
“It would be nice for you to join the main unit along the way.”
“And the Honorary Cardinal…”
“I will go first.”
“How… Oh, I see. Okay.”
The soldier nodded with his eyes widened. It seemed like he agreed only after looking at Dialugia.
I, too, started moving right away.
The soldiers around me were protecting me, trembling with fear that there might be any problems, but I was certain that the place surrounding me was definitely safe.
Juliana was drawing all kinds of gazes, after all.
I wanted to fight with her since she was struggling alone, but I couldn’t do it. It was not because I didn’t want to be in the same space as Juliana.
There was something I had to do. It was close to Force majeure.
‘Right. This is Force majeure.’
-Gedric! Gedriiiiic!
As if she had noticed I was moving away; a creepy sound came from behind me.
The voice made me shake. It felt like it could scratch windows. She seemed to want to chase after me, but she was blocked by the enemies that rushed to surround her.
It was the beginning of their ‘Juliana Raid’.
-Gedric! How dare! You bastards! You bastards! My Gedric! Can’t you get out of my way right now?! You, humans, are less than insects!
“Surround her!”
“Be careful not to be affected by the curse. Frontline, guard ahead!”
“Don’t get cut by the sword! Keep a distance away from her as much as possible and drag her into a long-range battle. Never stop the purification magic!”
The battle that transpired in the middle of the war field was magnificent.
-Get out of my way! I said, get out of my way!
“Ahhhhhhhhh!”
“Shit!”
-The curse will fall upon you! The curse! Anyone who interferes with Gedric and I will be cursed and shall die miserably!
“Gasp!”
-Aah! Gedric! No need to worry! My Gedric! Please wait for a bit! Your little baby bird will go to you soon!
No matter how I looked at her, I couldn’t think of her like a baby bird. I had cold sweats, but I did my best to turn my head away.
I tried my best to get away from the unidentified creature, even if for just a little. That was when I saw Dialugia bowing her head to me to make it easier for me to climb over.
-I thought it would help, but it must have been a mistake to bring it.
“No. It’s helpful enough. Just… no, it’s nothing. I will go up.”

-I don’t want to pick you up, but…
“…”
-Okay. Yes. I got it.
I boarded onto her swiftly. She slowly lifted her body as I grabbed onto her horn tightly.
The reserve team that had been with me began to look smaller.
Everyone seemed to be impressed.
I didn’t know if it’s an appropriate expression, but they were looking up at me as if I was the main character in a fairytale.
I subtly nodded at them.
I felt like I was departing as a hero like in the history books.
Just being with a dragon was already enough to win public envy. Moreover, a messenger, chosen by God, had been riding that dragon.
Although the blind belief that I could solve everything felt burdensome, I couldn’t help but reassure them from where I was.
I thought it was now the time to accept the familiar gazes humbly.
“Please, Honorary Cardinal.”
“Thank you, everyone.”
After a short greeting, Dialugia fully rose in the middle of the battlefield. Arrows and magic instantly targeted her.
After I pretended to be cool, I tapped on her horns. Image management was important.
“Let’s go, Dialugia.”
-I’m not familiar with the sky.
“It would be better than being on the ground. A unit specifically made to deal with you will be here shortly. There’s no reason not to take advantage of this. Oh, and before flying, please flap your wings once as strong as you can. I also ask for you to roar as loud as you can. I want everyone to look at us.”
-I’m not a spectacle. Even in this kind of situation…
“I’m not telling you to pretend to be a clown. I have no intention of making a show. It’s all to boost morale. Have you not seen how symbolic your existence is during the Sacred Democracy Revolution? Think of it as showing off your beautiful figure to them, and take a nice pose.”
-I’m not feeling like it.
“This fight will be recorded in history. Maybe you and I will also appear in the stories people share, like the human chosen by a dragon. It’ll appear in the history book that our Dialuria will learn. The Alchemist of Light and his wife against the demon’s army! Shouldn’t you, too, keep the balance as a dragon that’s just a few on the continent?”
-Are they really the demon’s army?
“Yes. Absolutely. And if I say it’s not an army of demons, what does it matter? History is written by the victors anyway. Oh, that doesn’t mean they deny that they are the army of darkness. The one who summoned the Demon Lord to Laios was certainly the head of the enemy. Demon Summoner Jin Qing. He is the one who caused all of this.”
-…
“I’m telling you the truth. Now, let’s quickly become parents Tol To-ri can be proud of. Humans will also respect our Dialuria. I’m sure of it.”
-…
I didn’t hear an answer, but I already knew the choice she was going to make. She raised her head mightily and delivered a thunderous roar that shook the ground.
Everyone looked at Dialugia and me, both allies and enemies.
After she took to the spells began to ascend, all aimed at her.

Of course, Dialugia wasn’t slow enough to be hit by such forceless attacks.
She had deadlier abilities than such spells, but avoiding their attacks in the sky felt like watching a well-crafted aerial combat scene.
Of course, I was on top of her, so it’s okay to assume that I was experiencing the 4DX sensation.
The wind blasting against my face made it very difficult to breathe properly.
It wasn’t easy to open my mouth, and as I talked into her, I heard her voice once again.
‘You should avoid the blue ones. It’s probably magic made to stop you. It looks like a kind of bondage magic, and if you get caught, you might fall.’
-I don’t know, but considering the density of magic power, I guess it is.
‘The basic hold magic…’
-Maybe I can resist. It would be better to hold onto me tightly so that you don’t fall off.
A large blue magic rope flew toward Dialugia from all directions.
When I took out the Dragon Breath potion and threw it, the blue magic rope burst into pieces with a loud sound.
However, some attacks proved to be difficult for her to avoid.
Dialugia seemed to have the same thought as me.
She seemed to think that the magic sent by high-level wizards was dangerous and was offsetting the inevitable ones.
She kept avoiding their assaults, and her actions were optimal to get into the enemy command’s nerves. Although it couldn’t be seen as direct damage, it was undeniable that the damage being dealt against the enemies was accumulating.
It wasn’t surprising that a dedicated unit and specialized magic had been created specifically for Dialugia.
‘Where is our Hyunsung?’
I had been looking for him, but it was too hard to see anything.
It was normal that I couldn’t easily find him.
I was on the back of Dialugia, avoiding the magic soaring towards us at tremendous speeds.
Whenever we entered a lull, I looked around as much as possible, but it wasn’t easy to check everything because the range was too wide.
One thing that made me feel relief was that the wizard units assigned as his targets before communication was cut off were no longer visible. I was starting to feel like my concern was nothing but a groundless one.
‘He will be okay, right?’
If he was looking at us, he must’ve moved the moment he saw it.
Now that the allies had finally gained some breathing space, it became more plausible for him to get out.
That was when I felt a huge flow of magic power from above us. To be precise, it was not a flow of magic power, but a strong pressure.
‘What’s that?’
A meteorite was falling from the sky.
“That’s nuts…”
A large meteorite was falling toward the densely gathered main unit.
“It’s awesome. Really. Jin Qing, you trash bastard…”
