Villain's Rising-Chapter 114 114. On The Edge Of The Horizon

Dragons were extraordinary creatures.

Although many animals mutated and developed abilities following the events of First Light, there was something different about Dragons who mutated through reptiles.

They, unlike other mutated beasts, were untameable and nigh-invincible.

It is said that to kill a single Dragon, you would've needed at least 50 nuclear warheads.

Yeah, they held that kind of power.

Fortunately, their reproduction rate was slow, and they were free creatures.

Humanity tried to fight them in order to drive them to extinction since they were a threat to them.

However, no matter what humans did, they were no match in front of the sheer strength of Dragons.

So they had no choice but to let the Dragons be as they were. Only then did they understand that Dragons didn't pose any threat to humanity.

Why? Because for them, humans were like bugs….

You won't care about bugs, will you? You'd definitely kill them if they tried to sting you or disturb you, but you won't go out of your way to kill them, right?

That's what humans were to Dragons… mere bugs.

Even the Progenitor of Demons, who ruled the realm of the living with his [Biology Manipulation], wasn't able to control Dragons.

According to some sources, it is believed that Dragons' willpower was too strong for the Progenitor to control.

Not only that, but since the Progenitor didn't know the biological makeup of Dragons, he couldn't even control them.

And since Dragons had nigh-absolute regeneration, their bodies would instantly heal from any fatal wounds that they may receive.

However, it's not like they were unkillable.

The Progenitor found a way to kill them. It was to disrupt their nervous system and cease all their brain functions by using precise electrokinesis.

However, only Progenitor was able to use this method since there was no other living being on the planet who could use electrokinesis so precisely to disrupt a Dragon's nervous system.

In his life, during the time of the Dark Ages and War Against The World, Progenitor faced and killed 24 Dragons in total alone. A feat unheard of until then.

After that, Starsuper found another way to kill them too. It was to deal damage over and over to them until their regeneration runs out.

Once again, this method was only applicable to its founder since there was no other living being on the planet who was capable enough to deal so much damage to Dragons.

In his life, during the war against Dragonhearts, also known as the Last War Of Dragons, Starsuper killed 79 last remaining Dragons and wiped them out of existence.

Even after countless years have passed and several decades have changed, carcasses of these beasts could still be found buried underground.

Only a few of those carcasses had recently started to decay, while the rest of them are still in good condition, as if they are frozen in time.

However, that doesn't matter.

What matters is these beasts that once ruled the skies and threatened the lands should not return under any circumstances!

Why? Because as mentioned previously, they are almost unkillable and completely untameable. ƒ𝐫𝒆𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝗻૦𝘷e𝙡.c𝑜𝙢

Although Dragonhearts managed to tame them through some miracle, it has to be noted that not all of the descendants of the Dragonheart family were able to tame these beasts.

And not to mention the fact that they were way too dangerous and way too strong that even Starsuper, the strongest Hero of Earth, had to give everything he had in order to defeat those last 79 Dragons.

It is said that if there was even one additional Dragon, Starsuper would've lost the war against Dragonhearts.

After that, for five long years, Starsuper continuously searched for the Dragon eggs and destroyed every last one of them.

He ensured that the ferocious species of Dragons could never return to existence.

Yet, 50 years after the war Starsuper fought against Dragonhearts, here stood a black-haired boy in front of him with a victorious smirk on his face.

The boy's eyes looked down on Starsuper as if he was enjoying every moment of this.

"Yes, the age of dragons has returned!" He announced.

-Ghuaaaaa!

As if waiting for that cue, a loud, deafening roar rang throughout the world.

The snowy surface that Lucas, Sam, and Starsuper were standing on shook almost as if the Earth itself was trembling.

Black lines formed on Starsuper's forehead, and with a dreadful look, he looked above.

As if to declare the arrival of a new age, once again, a high-pitched deafening roar was heard. This time it was even louder than the last one.

-Ghuuaaaaaaaaa!

No… It wasn't that the roar was louder this time; instead, it was that the creature who roared was getting closer.

Right then, Starsuper witnessed a scene so terrifying that it itched into his soul.

Even the mightiest hero of Earth, Starsuper, who had never felt scared in his life, was, for the first time, felt chills run down his spine.

Cold sweat began forming on his head as he noticed some movement in the clouds in the distance.

On the edge of the horizon, he saw several majestic creatures with long necks and massive wings slithering across the now fading blue sky, heading towards his location.

10… 20… 50… Starsuper tried to count the number of flying creatures while they were still approaching him, and according to him, there were at least 50 Dragons soaring in the sky!

Adorned with long nails, sharp claws, massive wings, lengthy tails, and majestic bodies, the Dragons looked as if they were descending from the heavens to judge the sinner of this world.

In the face of the approaching threat, Starsuper froze for a second before quickly clearing his mind.

His priority was Sam, not the Dragons. No matter what, he must exterminate Sam now, even if he had to go through those flying reptiles!

Thinking that, Starsuper turned his head towards where Sam was standing, but before he could do anything, an invisible pressure hit him in the chest.

-Bang!

Like a dog in front of a speeding truck, Starsuper was sent flying again, but he quickly regained his footing by balancing himself.

"Calm down, Starsuper! It's not like I'm going anywhere. No need to rush things."

Starsuper looked in front of him and saw Sam smiling as if he had already won.

Sam, of course, knew that the war was already over. With the aid of the Dragons, he will neutralize Starsuper here.

Then he will go to Los Angeles and acquire the Branch of the Tree Of Life. It was a perfect plan.

As such, he dramatically spread both his hands wide while still looking Starsuper in the eye. Behind him was an army of Dragons approaching them to aid Sam.

In the midst of such a view, Sam's lips curled into a grin.

It has begun.
