Dragon Lord.

A mythical being whose origin is said to be unknown and is known as the first dragon in existence.

The dragon lord is said to hold the wisdom and knowledge of the world from the beginning of its creation.

The Dragon Lord is one of the main pillars of the world, Grandia as well the Realm of the Supreme Beings that overlook the world.

The mightiest of the dragons that led the dragons from eternity till now is said to be the strongest NPC after the Supreme Goddess. Some legends in game also referred him as the God of War and many civilizations worshipped him in the times of war.

The might and the leadership he showed in a war between the dragons and the gods inspired the Goddess of War. At that time, if not for the timely interruption of the Supreme Goddess, he might have killed every single god.

His presence alone is said to send shivers down to the spines of the enemy, and shows a ray of hope and victory in the hearts of the allies.

But now the same ray of hope, the mighty Dragon Lord is now kneeling in front of this unknown NPC, getting his skull crushed by him.

In an online forum, it was even said as a joke that if a weapon ever made from his bones, it would be the strongest weapon in the game as normal dragons bones were very sturdy and have good magical resonance, so the bones of the Dragon Lord, whose body has experienced countless fights and deaths will be the best for making the strongest weapon.

But now this unknown entity is shattering every possible myth, as he is now crushing the skull of the said legend.

‘He is crushing his head like a watermelon? How is this even possible?’

It astonished the rankers from far behind to see the cruel things happening in front of them. Even they shuddered when they tried to get a look at the God of War’s face.

In the midst of this, the NPC then spoke to the dragon lord.

“So, how it feels to get crushed while your buddies kneel?”

He applied even more pressure as more bones started to crack.

“Now, before you die, let me get all the knowledge you have that you are so proud of.”

“…!!”

“Absorption!!”

The unknown NPC then placed his hands on the half-cracked head of the dragon lord, and soon something flowed from Dragon Lord’s head to his hand.

It shocked the other Supremes who were in kneeling to listen what the NPC said. Their knowledge was not something one can absorb or replicate as they were the beings who, from the starting of time, created their own knowledge and saw that same knowledge evolve as time flowed.

If anyone were to absorb that knowledge, their existence will shatter in an instant, erasing their origin too. As the Supremes contemplated over this ridiculous situation, the dragon lord screamed because of the pain of getting his knowledge stolen.

“N-NOOO!!!”

Soon the complexion of the dragon lord, who even withstood the crushing of his head, turned pale. His body became limp and he lost consciousness.

“Ahh…. the knowledge of the dragons, their powers, and the eons of your experience. What bountiful loot!! Thank you… Dragon Lord.”

With a gleeful smile, he then kicked the body of the fainted Dragon Lord sideways.

The other Supreme Being had a terrified look on their face.

They couldn’t believe at what had happened before them. Watching the strongest pillar in their realm and the whole world, the one hailed as the God of War as a rag doll, their origins trembled violently.

The supreme beings, with a look of disbelief, then looked at the Dragon Lord and the Unknown NPC alternatively.

Then NPC, noticing their expression, turned towards them.

“Now it’s yo-”

“Sword skill: Sword barrier!!”

“Shield skill: Dome of protection!!”

“??”

“Stay Back!!”

The NPC, who saw the Sword and Shield master before him defending the Supremes, was confused.

“How are you able to undo my skill?”

As he asked the question, the Spear Master came forward and revealed the answer.

“Did you forget our ultimate? We may not be able to use on you, but that doesn’t mean we cannot use it on your skills.”

Annoyed by the Spear Master, the NPC then shot a glare towards him.

“You bugs dare to stand again in my way again!! Did you not see the difference in our strength?”

“I know. I know…., but there is something even more powerful than you in this game.”

The spear master then looked towards the Supreme Goddess as he said those words.

“Supreme Goddess, give me that weapon. I will wield it!!”

The Supreme Goddess who was quiet this whole time was astonished by what the Spear Master said.

‘How did he know about that? No mortal or Supreme were able to know about its existence till now.’

“Do you even know what are you saying? It will erase you whole existence, your experience, your everything you have earned. Do you still want to use that?”

The Goddess warned the Spear Master as she saw his journey from the start. She, who saw him, wanted him as her Saint, but if the Spear Master were to use that weapon, then her plans will crumble.

“It… doesn’t matter!!”

But the Spear Master didn’t back down. His eyes gleamed with confidence as he looked into the eyes of the Supreme Goddess.

‘I have earned more than enough. My guild, my friends, the reputation and fame and, if required, I will earn them again, so…’

The spear master looked towards the unknown NPC as he readied himself.

“… to do that, I have to defeat this monster, even if I have to start everything anew!!”

“So do it. NOW!!”
