Chapter 838 - 838 Legend of Immortality
838 Legend of Immortality
“Shall we fight?”
I asked the Earth Dragon King after I transported everyone. There are few monsters I brought here, but their job is to take care of the clones of the Earth Dragon King.
Everyone is busy. So no one will help me fight the Earth Dragon King. I can only do it alone.
Not even Victoria is here. Just me, the sword-cane, and Reizpear. But those two weapons are only there just in case. I need to fight the Earth Dragon King barehanded.
Am I crazy? I am.
Who would ever think that it’s a good idea to fight an Earth Dragon King without any magic, Aura, and not even a weapon?
Well, there’s one. Right here. His name is Roy.
Dear Roy. Can you be a bit smarter?
Well, if I recognize that my physical strength is insufficient to face the Earth Dragon King, then I will give up. I will use Aura or magic right away. Though it will be most likely Aura since my magic won’t be enough to kill the Earth Dragon King. Though if it’s just for transporting him, I can still do that.
.....
What will I gain by this fight? Just the realization of my own strength. Nothing else. Not even a breakthrough to master level in my summoning element. Though there might be a chance for that to happen.
My own strength, huh?
I know that even without Aura, I’m already stronger than even the master level mages who trained their physical strength for over a hundred years already. But to face a dragon, this might be difficult.
So the only thing I can rely on in this fight will be my own body, my battling sense, and my experience in a fight. Though almost all my experience are related to Aura.
But what if I can still actually use Aura if I want to reach master level? Then breaking through should be easy.
I doubt that it will be easy. Though the only thing I can do now is to improve. And this might be one way for me to improve my summoning element. Or maybe how to fight without either Aura nor magic as well.
“Ready or not, I won’t be able to do anything anyway. Thanks to you, the other Dragon Kings are already dead. If I can help with just let you fight me, then feel free to do it. I still have something to ask you before I let myself loose. And once I let myself loose, I won’t be able to even think. And I will only move according to my own instinct as a monster in dangerous situation. To kill everything in sight. So I want to ask questions to you first before we fight,” the Earth Dragon King said.
“Some questions? Sure,” I said.
“I already no longer give the order to my clones to stay still. It’s good that your friends can stop them even though they are outnumbered,” the Earth Dragon King said.
So the first thing he do is to praise my allies? That’s cool. They deserve to be praised by a monster with a king in its name.
“Yeah. They grow stronger after I put various races together in one place. They compete a lot among themselves to prove who is stronger. I personally don’t like compet.i.tion, but I know it’s good for some people. Or in this case, monsters,” I said.
“I see. Compet.i.tion, huh? Maybe if I gave the order for everyone to compete, then we won’t have to suffer through this,” the Earth Dragon King said.
Well, it’s too late for that. All of his followers have died. Though I don’t know if there are still other Earth Dragon or other dragons exist out there.
I hope that’s the case. So that if I could defeat the Earth Dragon King who is strong enough to refuse to do the order given to his master, then it would be great addition if I could reach master level in my summoning. A monster comparable to the Earth Dragon King.
For example, a Lightning Dragon King. That will be so strong.
Or Water Dragon King. I said it once that I wanted a powerful sea creature to be my familiar. Maybe this one is good.
“Well, sorry to hear that. Is there any other questions?” I asked.
“I heard most of it from the earth spirit. So I don’t have many questions. Do you think that there will be the King of Humans in the future?” the Earth Dragon King asked.
“No way. That’s impossible. At most it will be a king of a territory. Never a King of Humans,” I said.
“Then what will you do if there are other people like this cult you’re fighting in the future? Someone with the desire to destroy the world and the power to do it without the limit of their own lifespan. What will you do?”
I see. So what he wants to know is what can stop such thing from happening again.
I’d like to say that I will kill them before they grow. But that will be limited by my own lifespan.
It’s not like humans are immortal. We will die in the future. No matter how much progress you make as an Aura user or a mage...
Wait! What the f.u.c.k?!
“Are you trying to say that there’s a way for human to gain immortality?” I asked.
“Imagine the worst. When I heard about you coming from the future, that’s the thing that I thought of,” the Earth Dragon King said.
The worst? What is it?
Something worst. Something related to destroying the world and reaching immortality?
“...Just like how ee breakthrough by meditating, we can breakthrough from mortality by killing people. And in this case, by destroying the world,” I said.
“It’s just a guess. But I heard from my grandfather of an ancient story. That humans shouldn’t attempt to reach that stage. Because their desires are unlimited,” the Earth Dragon King said.

“Wait, no. That’s not the worst yet. The worst is that even after reaching that stage, the immortal was the one responsible in destroying the world. He did it for his own desire,” I said.
“Oh, right! That’s indeed the worst!” the Earth Dragon King agreed with me.
Even after reaching immortality, they will kill everyone instead. Just what kind of person has that much hatred to the world? So much hatred enough to kill everyone?
Alright, he’s crazy. If that’s what the Evil G.o.d is trying to do, then he’s crazy.
What if killing Aura users is his way to breakthrough to immortality? Is that the reason he killed all Aura users in the past including Sonia and Victoria?
“Okay, that’s enough imagination for the day. Or I won’t be able to concentrate fighting you,” I said.
“Fine. It got crazier the longer we talk about it. It’s just some ancient legend anyway. Anyway, what will you do to stop humans from ever trying to attempt destroying the world again in the future?” the Earth Dragon King asked again.
“Even if I killed those who thought of doing it, it will be limited by my own lifespan. So the only thing we can do is to let those whose lifespans are longer than usual, to watch over the people. That’s not for me to think. All I have in my mind is to destroy the cult. Whatever happen in the future, I can’t care about it at the moment. I’ll just ask someone smarter to think about it,” I said.
“I see. So you’re cursed with your past.”
“That’s one way to put it. So, shall we fight now?”
With difficulty, the Earth Dragon King trying to stand up on his legs.
“If I can’t regain my own senses until I die, just know that I’m grateful to you.”
That’s the last words he said before he lost his senses and roared loudly.
“Whoa, this is crazy. He look so strong all of a sudden,” I said.
He started attacking everything. Maybe because I won’t use Aura or magic, the Earth Dragon King didn’t think of me as a danger. So he ignores me.
So, what can I do with my fists and my legs?
The first thing to do is to aim at his weakness. His eyes.
So, I started climbing on his body. From his legs to his back.
Earth Dragon King is the biggest among all Dragon Kings I met. Though still smaller than a Andro. He has wings, but it seems like it’s impossible for him to fly. But it’s still annoying when his wings are flapping when I’m on his back.
“Climbing without using Aura is difficult. Maybe this is too much.”
It took me about one hour to climb all the way to his head. And I already wasted so much stamina.
I overestimated my ability. Without Aura or magic, I’m totally useless.
No wonder I’m a summoner. Because I need some help.
But I’ll preserve for now. Because I managed to punch him in the eye before he shook his head and threw me to the ground.
...Now I have to climb again. Though he’s now focused more on me who had injured his eyes.
Well, now what?
