Chapter 409: Dragonโs Presence!
It was time to end it all...
Jack and pet happily sailing? Hell no!

And thatโs when it happened! The playfulness that had been inside the creatureโs eyes all along suddenly disappeared! It was suddenly replaced by extreme ANGER!

The elementals? They all collapsed.
The lava? It calmed down as if scared!
Yet, it was nothing compared to what they faced,
Nothing could have prepared Jack and Moon Moon for what followed. The eldritch roar carried so much energy and authority that they lost themselves in it completely!
This bloody wasnโt like before, FAR from it!
[Warning! Affected By Dragonโs Presence!]
[Warning! Affected By Dragonโs Presence!]
[Warning! Affected By Dragonโs Presence!]
[.....]
All their training while hiding in caves and covered by Aura Concealment auras? It hadnโt amounted to jack shit! They had seriously trained to resist the dragon, but IT had never seriously roared.
But now that it had, they lost control of their bodies. So this was a dragon, eh? Compared to such a mighty being, they were mere weak sacks of worthless flesh. Compared to this, they were flies.
Compared to this magnificent being, they were simply lacking, so damn lacking. Yet, they were lucky that a dragon spoke to them...
"๐ฏ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐?
๐๐๐โ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
๐ฑ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐? ๐ฑ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐!"
Fleeting and pointless? They really were. As for foolishness, the biggest fool in the world would have had to bow down had he been there. All it took was a roar, and they had been brought down!
CRAZY! This was simply crazy! Yet, they wholly accepted their defeat.
No, Jack had known since the start... Dragons were invincible early game. A single Brave and his pet? Who was he kidding? Actually, no, he wasnโt even that Brave.
He was Brave because he could respawn.
He was Brave because he was crazy.
He was Brave... except he wasnโt.
"Iโm really pitiful, arenโt I?"
"๐ฟ๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐!"
Just like that, the show was over. Calm and order returned to the world, an order that had predated even the existence of humans. After all, this wasnโt their world. They were merely parasites in it.
A small ark, no bunch of plank-like rocks, slowly drifted toward a certain dragon, one who didnโt even have to move, simply guiding the lava with a lazy claw.
Thatโs when a chuckle escaped Jack.
He was just like a rubber duck in a bath, a mere toy.
Then again, looking at the gargantuan maw, he was bread to an eldritch duck.
Looking toward Timber City, a soft prayer even escaped him.
"Sorry you all, your king let you down..."
"Sorry I wasnโt stronger..."
"Sorry for everything..."
At this moment, the weight of the world rested on his shoulders. All the gentle city folks were waiting on him, all the orphans were praying for his return, and all the maidens left without their idol.
Jack didnโt even have to speak a word. It was all visible on his face.
The Dragon quickly realized it, too, its scales trembling.
T-This..... Would be the BEST meal ever, hehehe!
"Goodbye, world, this is it."
The flow guided them inside the creatureโs mouth, each fang looking tower-like, yet so damn sharp! This would soon be their fate for sure, jack already full of regrets.

Seeing him defeated pleased the dragon so damn much!
"๐ฑ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐?"
"I do have regrets..."
At this moment, Jackโs aura suddenly seemed to flicker a bit, as if coming to terms with its imminent death. That flicker was so wild that even the dragon got curious, drinking his next words.
"If a man follows after meยญ. Please tell him... Dragon."
"D-Dragon?! What kind of dragon?!"
"Dragon deez nuts all overโ"
[?!?%????
[Host Isnโt affected?!]
[What the Hell is Happening?!]
But Jack didnโt give a damn about the system, NOW! He rushed at the Dragonโs pink blackish tongue and summoned EVERYTHING he could!
โ Fire and Wind Magic? Yes! ๐ฅ๐ช๏ธ ๐๐ฃ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐น.๐๐ ๐
โ Self-Destruction Magic? Sure! ๐ฅ
โ Skeletal Summons? By the Dozen! ๐
โ Throwing Pickaxes? Why the F not! โ
โ Corrupted Water Pearl? Spam it 300% ๐ง
โ Demon Kingโs Weapon Aspect! HELL YEAH! ๐
Jack went ALL OUT!
This fucker had dared call Moon Moon worthless?!
"Go fuck yourself, you shitty lizard! Youโre useless! Your entire bloodlineโs useless as hell! Oh god, a fire dragon in a volcano? Can you get less original? Youโre as dumb as scaly!"
As he released ALL he could muster, dark yet glowing energy crackled around him, only becoming stronger and stronger until it EXPLODED!
And thatโs when it happened...
A blackish tongue severed completely!
A Dragon trashing in unimaginable pain and shame.
Burning Red Blood bursting all over, menacing to drown them!
Yet, even as they were swept by the current, seemingly heading for the dragonโs stomach as mere snacks, there was a sudden reversal.
"๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐! ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐! ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐! ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐! ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐! ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐! ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐! ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐! ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐!
"Hehe, Demonic Legion, weโre also unforgettable!"
"๐๐๐โ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐! ๐ฏ๐๐๐! ๐ฏ๐๐๐! ๐ฏ๐๐๐! ๐ฏ๐๐๐! ๐ฏ๐๐๐! ๐ฏ๐๐๐! ๐ฏ๐๐๐! ๐ฏ๐๐๐! ๐ฏ๐๐๐!"
"And youโre too talkative, you shitty Lizard, canโt you just...." But thatโs when his face suddenly distorted in shock. With the dragon distracted, he could feel what lay below.
What the freaking hell was this?! This was an entire civilization, wasnโt it?! What was it doing in a goddamn volcano?! But a second later, Jack couldnโt help but tremble.
This was especially true as he heard the Dragonโs next words...
๐น๐, ๐๐๐๐๐โ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐! ๐พ๐๐๐๐๐! ๐พ๐๐๐๐๐! ๐พ๐๐๐๐๐! ๐ดโ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐, ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐!
Death was too good for him? That shitty Dragon would never know how true this was! But before Jack could even react, a lightning-fast claw suddenly entered the maw and impaled him?!!
The feeling of being impaled...
The deathly worry of a nearby wolf...
Then the seemingly free fall that followed?!
"What is this?! Donโt tell me thatโ" Before Jack could react, the creature suddenly started laughing manically as it stared at the abyss below, one that couldnโt be "seen" thanks to the lava!
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" And as Jack heard that laugh, he suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body. Wait, wasnโt he about to be cast away for real?!
And thatโs when Dragon threw him in the damn lava below?! โ Only to send a very innocent little wolf a second later after him. What was this all about?!
Either way, they were FUCKED! Quite so...
