Thousands of years ago I was born.
I was born the King of Dragons, reigning at the top of the ecosystem.
So I could not immediately understand what this horrible feeling was that bubbled up from the depths of my soul.
Awe.
Was I the one who was afraid of the man in front of me?
The Ancient Dragon, the one who has caused fear in all of life, is afraid and trembling.
Now I was left with only the last resort.
When I first saw it, I did not think it was human.
It came to me suddenly in the great limestone cave where I was standing, surrounded by the emerald ore, and I could see it was about to explode.
It was emitting a terrible energy, as if it was about to explode. It was trying to contain the ferocious Qi in its small body, but it couldn't contain it, and thin, sharp Qi was leaking out of its body in a chilling, tingling manner.
Her long golden hair, long enough to touch the ground, swayed and fluttered in the wind. The clear blue eyes, which shine like jewels, gaze intently at me.
Its neat shape was more beautiful than any human I had ever met. The figure, equipped with silver armor and carrying a great sword on her back, resembled a mythical goddess of war (Valkyria).
''I come!''
I muttered a word, and the human girl approached me as unconcernedly as if she were taking a walk.
I was going to lightly stroke her.
I held her to the ground and silenced her. That was the plan.
But I was the one who was crawling on the ground.
It was pure power difference.
The little human girl was overwhelmingly stronger than me.
I was astonished and shuddered with fear.
How could a mere human girl be a match for me? No. I can't do this. No, no, no. I will not allow that.
What is your name?
It's been a thousand years since I've asked someone their name.
"Alice.
The voice had a clear and pleasant sound.
I am the second human since the Great Sage Nurhachi to etch his name on my soul.
"Brilliant, Alice," he said. A true masterpiece of individuality. It is far beyond the limits of what a man can achieve after practice. And yet. You can't beat me, the greatest of dragons.
I'll bet you everything I have.
I'm going to undo the limiter.
The power I've kept locked away explodes in my body.
This power has been stored up daily for thousands of years since I was born, and it is my final trump card.
Farewell, Alice. "Farewell, Alice, your name will be remembered forever.
The most ancient dragon.
The biggest and strongest secret technique that I, the Ancient Dragon, can only use once in my life.
"Gaaaaaahhhhhhhh!
With a roar, all the power is released from his mouth at once. It was the very proof of the soul I had lived through.
There is no name for it.
There is no need for a name for a technique that can only be used once in a lifetime. It is just an overwhelming force that covers everything.
Alice stood motionless, looking up at the eagle, and there was no escape. She must have realized that there was nowhere to run.
A mass of light, similar to the origin of life, spread across the cave and engulfed Alice and everything else.
It will all end.
That was when I thought that.
'Kaa!'
Alice shouted.
It was a voice that sounded like it was lightly trying to get me fired up.
With that alone, the lump of power that has been building up since I was born was blown away with a pitiful crunching sound.
'No way.'
I said that without thinking.
I don't think so.
My life, with a bang, is that it?
With all her strength, Alice looked down at the fallen eagle.
'Is that what it is, ancient dragon?
They were staring at me so hard.
Super scary.
'Yes, I did my best to give it my all. We have nothing left. Please don't do this.
I beg for my life, putting aside shame and ignorance.
But Alice was not ready to forgive me.
"Not yet," she said. Get up! This isn't enough! I still need to be strong!
Alice lets out a beastly roar, and with a giriiri, she bites her back teeth. The qi that had been suppressed within swells up like an explosion.
This is not a joke. Alice has only shown me a fraction of her power.
Can it get any stronger?
He should already reign supreme over all things, not just people, but all things.
'Why? Why do you need your strength so badly, Lord?
I asked fearfully and Alice clenched her fists and spoke up.
'To meet my master one day. To walk next to the Master.
I don't understand what you're saying.
'You don't think this master is stronger than you?
It's natural. I'm only at the beginning of my master's teachings, and I've only just begun to stand on the threshold.
What is that ridiculous monster? Is this not just a delusion? It's someone who really exists?
What kind of a master is this? You're not human, are you?
Human. But I have heard that my father is the Almighty God, the Creator of the world, and my mother is the Great Spirit, the protector of the natural world.
That's not human, you know.
I can't resist the urge to complain.
A human far more powerful than this Alice. If such a thing existed, you should be able to feel its power. But on earth, it's not as if I can feel that kind of power flowing through me. If there is someone who hides such a mighty power without revealing it at all: ......
Goosebumps creep up all over his body. It is no longer an existence that surpasses even the creator gods and great spirits.
''Can you tell me the name of this master?''
Closing her eyes, Alice uttered the name.
'Takumi.'
A smile comes to his mouth.
'That's the name of my beloved mentor.
Only when Alice, who had been clad in a beastly murderous atmosphere, uttered her name, was enveloped in a fluffy, gentle aura, as if a single flower had bloomed.
The person who makes this Alice get to that point.
Takumi.
That name must be told to everyone as a prohibition of the dragon race, the existence of one who must never be defied.
"Where are you going, ancient dragon?
No, I just wanted to take a walk. ......
I tried to run away, but it was no use. He grabbed me by the tail.
'You're not going to run away, are you?'
Yeah. I won't run away.
It was the last month of the ancient dragon's active life.
It will be talked about later as a legendary battle.
...... in a very wrong way.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
