“Dragon meat, give me dragon meat…! Dragon meat!”
“Your…Majesty! Urk!”
Duke Tarbing coughed up blood as he watched the Gluttony Emperor disappear into the distance. He’d barely been able to find the Gluttony Emperor despite his determination to protect his master as the labyrinth collapsed. But the Gluttony Emperor had lost all reason.
Duke Tarbing knew what it meant. The Gluttony Emperor was starving and hadn’t had enough nourishment because of the long battle. The worse his hunger and thirst, the worse the Gluttony Emperor’s lunacy would become. Even Duke Tuan Tien wouldn’t be able to stop the emperor when he was like this. He would swallow anything he came into contact with, friend or foe. Two counts had been sacrificed during the battle with White Dragon for this reason.
Only when his hunger was satiated would the Gluttony Emperor’s reason return, and he would be riddled with guilt afterwards. However, things were different today. The Gluttony Emperor had already eaten so many soldiers and enemies but he was still unable to regain his reason. He’d immediately rushed towards Kalatus even as he fought the three leaders of Green Dragon, muttering “Dragon meat” to himself.
Duke Tarbing tried to stop him, but the only result was his left arm being ripped off. ‘It’s too dangerous right now…!” He needed to get back up and help his master. They had already lost over eighty percent of their forces in the labyrinth after being conned by the Hoarder. Now that the stage was Kalatus’ territory, they had to be prepared to lose everything and focus on figuring a way out. But even that would be difficult with the Gluttony Emperor’s condition. There was only one option: ‘Protect His Majesty.’
It would be impossible to escape the stage within the limited time anyway, so retreating after protecting the Gluttony Emperor was the best course of action. “Protect…His Majesty! All soldiers forward! Exterminate the dragon and show our courage to the dregs of the Tower!”
At Duke Tarbing’s shout, Blood Land soldiers got into formation again and ran to their emperor. In the meantime, Kalatus stretched his neck back and spewed Breath again. The Breath filled with curses and poison swept through the ground and felled the opponents that dared challenge him.
However, some players tried to attack him from above. Boom! They were the kings who had temporarily formed an alliance to take on the great boss monster.
“A dragon with demonic energy. There’s nothing more hideous than losing your identity. Return to the land you’re from, great dragon!” High up in the sky, Magnus looked down at Kalatus with mixed emotions and spread his hands open. As a leader of the Elohim, who were descendants of higher beings, he pitied Kalatus. The Elohim’s most hated enemies were otherworld gods, as it was impossible to know what kind of legends they had. The skills that Magnus activated were more powerful than ever.
〈Giant Intent〉
Magnus stretched open his arms, his clothes fluttering behind him like a flag as a powerful wave tore through Kalatus’ left wing. Kalatus writhed in pain. He didn’t fall because his ability to fly came from magic, but he still tried to catch the bug that tried to harm him, accidentally exposing a vulnerability. The other kings didn’t miss the opportunity.
“Meat! Delicious dragon meat! Hahaha!” Dripping with madness, the Gluttony Emperor appeared right in front of Kalatus. Although he was tiny in size compared to Kalatus, his aura was powerful, and the Stone of Gula glowed with a purple energy around his body. “If I eat that and make it mine, the stone will become completely mine!” Crunch! The Gluttony Emperor grinned and bit down on Kalatus’ right leg. His canines glowed with purple energy and pierced through the tough scales, even dismembering the leg. “Meat, meat! Hahaha!”
