Chapter 169: 169: Gungnir Art: Black Dragon

Inside the ruined part of the kingdom, the king and his children had fixated their gaze against one young figure. Anticipations were written all over their face as they didn't dare to utter a single word.

The bloodied figure stood tall as if no gods could make him bow. His black hair fluttered with the wind as the sunlight dimmed due to black clouds flew in front of it.

The dripping sound of rain was heard as the ruined city was drenched. Despite so, they didn't move an inch and let the water poured on them.

*spark

The king opened his eyes wide as he noticed a black spark appeared in a flash under the rain. (A spark?) thought the king.

*spark

The rate of the black spark appearing increased as even the prince and the princess could definitely see what's going on. By far, Lyon was the longest one with the test from the sentient weapon to prove his worthiness.

*crack

The black spear floated in front of Lyon as it hummed.

(No! Impossible!) thought the king as he saw how Gungnir reacted. (How can someone out of my bloodline be accepted by it?! Does he have that much high affinity in thunder element?!).

Lyon slowly opened his sharp eyes as he looked at the floating black spear exuding a bearing of a deity. He smirked as he took the spear with one hand.

Under the rain, he occasionally being surrounded by black sparks that made him appeared more divine.

"Let's do a simple test run," said Lyon softly under his breath.

*spark

Lyon slowly pulled the spear backward as black lightning seemingly charged the weapon. The ground around him occasionally being whipped by the wild black lightning that was an excess of the charging.

The prince, the king, and the princess couldn't help but take a step back at the sight. Their bodies knew that it was dangerous to go near any of that black lightning.

"Lyon, what are you doing?! Don't destroy Luderia!" screamed Aelina.

"No worries," said Lyon as he squatted his legs. His veins popped up on his thigh as the ground cracked toward the mountainous force.

*boom

The three pairs of eyes immediately looked to the sky as the young man jumped, leaving a flash of black lightning. With his body as the center of the mass, Lyon spun vertically upward as he left afterimages in his wake.

"If you cannot destroy my divine magic, don't call yourself a worthy weapon, Gungnir!" shouted Lyon as he threw the weapon upward.

"Gungnir Art: Black Dragon."

*roar

The black spear launched as the charged black lightning formed a dragon that ravaged the sky. Penetrating the black clouds, the black dragon swam upward with unstoppable force.

*boom

The impact was heard loud and clear as the black clouds and the rains were instantly wiped out, revealing the afternoon sun. Lyon who was still falling in the air smirked as he looked at his divine magic, Scabbard, cracked before dispersing into particles of mana.

*thud

Lyon smiled as he watched the agape trio before his right hand casually caught the falling Gungnir without even looking.

"Well, looks like Luderia has a new-"

*splurt

Lyon vomited blood before he could finish his word. His vision slowly blurred as his figure swayed.

(Oh no, not now) thought Lyon.

He could see the princess and the rest were saying something from their mouth, but he couldn't understand it. He was tipsy as his skin looked pale, however, he was still keeping his likable smirk on display.

Slowly, Lyon walked despite the shouting that he couldn't understand. Aelina was in front of him catching his hand, but he didn't know what she was saying. He looked at her expression of concern but he only muttered a couple of words, "I promised."

He lightly moved the princess away, as his finger gathered the surrounding mana. "Crack of Desire."

The space in front of him formed a magic brand before opening a portal toward the destination he wanted. Dragging his bloody figure, Lyon slowly walked inside, not caring of what the other three were saying. As he walked inside the portal, the magic brand immediately reverted back into nothingness, forbidding anyone else to use it.

In his eyes, there were currently two beautiful women sleeping and recuperating. He noticed that their wounds were healing at a rapid pace because of the magic before he smiled at the situation.

He slowly walked between them before sitting down with his back leaning toward the wall. He looked the destroyed dungeon in front of him before glancing at both sisters.

His breathing was getting heavier, but his eyes were calm and full of caring. He slowly rubbed their heads as he smiled.

"I hope you both ladies don't mind me sleeping between you hahaha," laughed Lyon before closing his eyes with a smile.

--------------------------------------------

Back in the commoner's region where the king and his children were at, the commoners started to regain their consciousness back before shocked by the state their city was in.

Their homes were destroyed beyond repair while some of their businesses were ruined. However, none of that beat the fact that they personally saw how the first prince met his end. A young man that was powerful enough to bring the first prince into oblivion with a single blow etched in their minds forever.

The king immediately brought calm for the commoners before the prince followed suit. The princess, on the other hand, was running toward the castle toward Lyon's location. It was unknown what she was thinking about this kind of situation.

*creak

With gasping noise from her breathing, she opened the door to the place her father told her. Her tensed body slowly calmed down as she saw the sleeping young man at the end of the wrecked dungeon.

"We will take it from here,"

A voice suddenly made her body tensed once again before she realized who the voice belonged to.
