2nd Round Villain

98 – – 100, Chaos

One lifetime, five chances.

It’s a restriction on me. It can be seen as a kind of contract. The authority of predation is also subject to this restriction. Joker cards too.

Because – it’s a balance collapse. Even if I use the Power of Predation two or three times, I can rise to the ranks of the strongest in this world. like it was in a previous life.

The Joker card is a power that defies the sky. Shall we call it reverse heaven, or, going back to the distant past, should we call it degeneration? If you don’t know my long past, you can just say that I’m going into a state of ‘transformation’.

Like the Power of Predation, I can only play the Joker card five times. five times in one lifetime. In other words, I have five more ‘spare lives’.

I’ve only used the Joker card twice in my previous life. When fighting the Dragon Lord, and when fighting the Demon King. To be honest, I never thought I would use it twice.

Even if I ate only the dragon lord’s soul, the continent was under my feet. I was above all people, and there was only one person in the world who could threaten me.

I really never imagined that that ‘one’ would hit me in the head. Even more so, I didn’t expect that even if I used the Joker card, it would go horribly.

I raised my head. The sky is turning dark. The demonic energy emanating from me spreads fiercely in all directions.

The whole body is full of strength. To the extent that you can easily pull out a mountain.

A sinister smile hung on his lips. Originally, I didn’t intend to use the Joker card for the Dragon King, but since I’ve already used it, I’ll use it wisely.

Ugh-.

I poured demonic energy into the ground. It is to find the hero party and the Nio. A few creatures touched the tentacle strands of the Magi as it wriggled forward.

Except for the Inwang, all the warriors in the party were killed by the Dragon King’s meteor magic. It’s not intentional, but it seems to have worked out well in the end. I toasted in my heart.

The jet-black dragon looks down at me with golden eyes shining. I raised my head confidently and met his eyes.

It is because they are full of confidence to win. After entering this ‘state’, I can never lose unless the opponent is a demon lord or main god. If someone who surpasses me now appears, it’s not that I’m weak. Something is wrong with him.

“Come on, Dragon King.”

He spread his arms wide toward the black dragon. Keep your palms straight.

“Let’s play.”

*****

Dragon King Endros, the beginning of dragons derived from the primordial chaos.

When the fight with the uninvited guests first came, he was calm.

Masurim is a world of weak meat. The weak become prey and the strong become predators. It is a natural providence.

Endros is a monster who holds the title of king in that forest. So far, many strong people have challenged him. And Endros never lost.

I dismissed it as part of such a challenge this time as well. When he first noticed that there was an intruder in his bedroom, by sending out a vision and confirming the intruder’s target, it became a fait accompli.

Of course, even if it became a fait accompli, there was no great excitement or change of heart. Fighting with a challenger and stepping on that challenger was a ‘daily life’ he went through countless times.

The uninvited were strong. A sword that carves wounds on Endros himself, a gigantic human who killed Endros with unbelievable strength, and a wizard who knows how to use the 7th circle magic called ‘Meteor’. Endros was not something to be vigilant about.

However, that’s all. Weak humans couldn’t handle Endloss, who decided to use magic and hand-to-hand combat and even triple cast. In the end, when the ‘Meteor’ prepared by Endros fell, the humans were unable to respond and were annihilated.

‘Rare has collapsed. It’s okay if I rebuild it.’

A plain that has become a mess due to the impact of a meteorite. In preparation for an unexpected counterattack, Endros examined the buried uninvited guests one by one with the ‘Dragon’s Eye’. Fortunately, all the uninvited guests were either dead or passed out.

‘… What are you doing?’

Except for one demon, who had been standing by the sidelines throughout the entire battle.

‘It’s a flagship thing just to not die, but I’m holding on to the spirit. Did you survive with the barrier?’

It was a demon wearing a pure white suit, a snow-white mask, and a magician’s hat. The demons were protecting a human wizard who was much smaller than themselves with their own bodies.

‘Thanks to that, the wizard survived. Did you wait until you could be alone with me? Is that why you didn’t come to the fore?’

Endros slowly came down to the ground and stood in front of the demon lying on the half-destroyed ground. The gap between the eye level was very large.

“Little demon, you are the only one holding on to the spirit.”

“Yes, Endros. My whole body aches from your meteor magic.”

“This old man must have warned. If you want to fit in with me, you have to risk your life.”

Suddenly, Endros became curious about the demon. Where did they come from, why did they attack, and why did you suffer without participating in the war?

There were many things I wanted to ask. It was all the more so since it was not a fight that started with hostility from the beginning.

Seruk-.

The demon’s hand, which had been rummaging through his chest, pulled out a piece of paper. It was a card-shaped piece of paper the size of the palm of my hand.

The demon threw it into the sky. A piece of paper with a picture of a grotesque clown tumbled down. The card disintegrated in the air and wrapped around the demon’s body.

Trude-.

Receiving the energy from the card, the demon rose.

‘Hmm? Are you going to fight me alone? It’s cool, as expected, the fighting spirit of young people is worthy of imitation… .’

Aww-.

‘… What is it, the air flow has changed. It’s not just a guest machine.’

The demon’s body shape changes moment by moment. The suit tightens, and the white mask seeps into the skin. It was a very heterogeneous sight, but the mask naturally merged as if it were a piece of skin.

The skinny body is filled with colorful muscles. Bulking up rapidly. But I didn’t feel any sense of alienation. It was a truly bizarre phenomenon.

The demon’s nose grows, and its eyes turn into white porcelain. At first glance, a face that could be mistaken for something between a goblin and a human. The corners of his mouth were torn all the way to his ears.

Black demonic energy rose from the demon’s changed body. It was an amount that even the Dragon King, who possessed endless magical power, was embarrassed. The ominous Magi dyed the sky of the Demon Tree into darkness.

Receiving a familiar yet nostalgic feeling, Endros raised his claws. A piece of red cloth grew like a horn on top of the demon’s head.

‘Did you use a number that amplifies your power? No, something is different. Something fundamental is different.’

In the meantime, the demon has become the same form as the pattern drawn on the card.

“Come on, Dragon King.”

Oscar spread his arms wide and approached the Dragon King. Even though he saw the spirit of Endros, who had just destroyed the party of warriors, he couldn’t find even an inch of hesitation in his movements.

“Let’s play.”

“Did you hide your power?”

“No, my strength is the same as before. Excuse me, what you look like now… It would be more accurate to say that it is the power that has been drawn.”

“The amount of magic is like the sea. It’s a quantity that can never be held in your hands with only a few thousand years of training.”

“How many thousand years? You’ve gone too far I’m only 409 years old now.”

“… Do you want to play a word game with this old man?”

Oscar had a fairly laid-back attitude. It could be taken as an insult to his pride, but Endros did not.

‘Maybe this could be my place. Where did such a monster appear?’

“It is not polite to make an elderly person wait. Shall I go in first?”

Shhh-.

“… !?”

In an instant, a very fleeting gap that was only for an instant, the new model of Oscar disappeared. Endros, who missed his move, hurriedly raised his mana.

bang-!

[Oops!]

Oscar struck Endros in the face in the blink of an eye. A tingling shock spread through Endros’ entire body. The dragon’s neck and back snapped, and Endros did a one-turn somersault in the air.

“Ahahahahaha! You look ugly!”

Quaang-!

[Ah!]

As if using teleportation, Oscar climbed onto Endros’s waist and stamped his feet excitedly. Endros’ spine folded in half.

“Sanguis dēfénsĭo!”

As if he didn’t want to be hurt, Endros created a protective shield by generating mana despite the pain as if his whole body was being crushed. However, when Oscar punched and the wind pressure created by him hit the barrier, the barrier tore apart like a piece of paper.

[Crown wow wow!!]

‘What is this… ! I can’t follow the movements with my eyes! A move that deceives even the dragon’s eyes… ! I could never have imagined that such an existence existed!’

Oscar riding on Endros’s tail. Endros swung his tail like a whip and tried to take Oscar away, but Oscar didn’t budge. A creeping sense of fear welled up in Endros’ heart.

“I have a question for you. Is it true that the flame at the end of the dragon king’s tail never goes out?”

“you… I wasn’t a kid. It was a monster.”

“Anything you ask me will answer. Have you really never turned it off?”

“hahahaha… I don’t know what you mean by asking, but you’re saying it for granted. The beginning of this fire was the firewood of Yggdrasil, the world tree. How can it turn off… !”

“is it so? I tried setting fire to the world tree, but in the end, the fire went out after I burned all the world trees. Um, suddenly you’re curious? Will this fire go out after the dragon king’s tail is all burned to ashes?”

“what are you saying… town!!”

Slow-!

[Kahiahhhhh !!

As Oscar shaped the wings with his hands, the Magi that filled the sky gathered around his hands. Oscar lowered the magic sword without hesitation.

When the warrior party was cut, the skin of Endros, which only had a few scratches, was completely cut. The tail, which was made up of muscle, mana blood, and chunks of flesh, was severed.

“But since the dragon king is a lizard, his tail should grow out quickly, right?”

A ball of fire erupted from Oscar’s hand as he gripped the bloody tail of Endros, covering the tail. The flames that covered the blue light of the hottest fire swallowed the tail in an instant.

[Cheerreuk… !]

Whoo-!

Endros’s paws flew swiftly. It was a lightning-like blow because of the Stronger magic. However, Oscar is silent about what he has in mind.

Gulleong-.

“… !”

Contrary to Endros’ vision, which predicted that Oscar’s torso would be shattered, his paws only penetrated Oscar’s body. And then, I couldn’t get out.

It was like a bog or mud. I was clearly splitting the flesh, but I didn’t feel like I was splitting it. It was around that time that Endros realized something was wrong.

Gulleong-.

“Ahahahaha, it tickles me. want to subtract? But what? I don’t intend to send your feet away?”

“What… ! Am I a spirit… ?”

“I know very well about the spirits. Because they imitated me. but.”

boom-!

Oscar’s body instantly hardened. Thanks to this, the foot of Endros, who was struggling in the thick liquid, was cut off. Endros’s pupils shook like an earthquake.

[aaa!!]

“The Spirit can’t do that. They are imperfect.”

“Me, Meteor Storm… !!!”

With his tail and legs cut off and bleeding profusely, Endros struggled to raise his mana. Magical power moved from the dragon’s fingers raised upwards, and meteorite rain began to fall through the black sky.

Coo-goo-goo-!

The stones that destroyed the warrior party multiplied dozens of times and fell. As the name suggests, a meteorite storm, it was an unrealistic sight that would make anyone who watched it give up their longing for life at once.

However, Oscar giggled and pulled a stick from his bosom. It was a stick that was three hand spans long, also known as a ‘magic wand’.

“Change!”

pop-!

Pointing at the meteorite with the magic stick, Oscar shouted loudly, and the meteorite immediately turned into a flower. Flowers rained down from the sky.

For Dragon King Endros, who was the last resort and the last resort, it was a scene of collapse.

Patter-.

‘What, what! Did you really change it!? It’s not an illusion, it’s really turning a meteorite into a flower!?’

Being hit by the falling rain of flowers all over his body, Endros realized that the place he was in was real. Unbelievable reality, incomprehensible existence, irrational phenomena. There wasn’t anything that wasn’t weird.

“You, who are you… ?”

changing one substance into another substance. it could be. The world calls it alchemy. Turning stones into gold and turning jewels into mounds of dirt. All of them are examples where the same annuity conversion is applied.

But a meteorite cannot turn into a flower. The two are completely different in composition and composition. However, this demon tribe transformed the meteor storm into a baptism of flowers, as if mocking the law of course.

It meant that the demons in front of him had gone against the providence.

“Devil… is it? Are you the demon king Kanos who was born anew 400 years ago? ?”

Endros asked in a trembling tone.

“no!”

The demon, Oscar cut off his words and answered firmly.

“Now I am Chaos!”
