The sky above Blackridge trembled.
Thunder cracked across the clouds as the enormous dragon pushed its way through the dimensional gate.
The creature's wings stretched across the storm like living mountains.
Lightning crawled across its dark scales.
Every beat of its wings created hurricane-force winds.
Below, the entire city froze.
Hunters stared upward in horror.
One of them whispered slowly.
"That's not possible…"
Another hunter answered in a shaking voice.
"That thing… is far beyond S-rank."
Even the Dragon Hunters fell silent.
The leader of the group lowered his weapon slightly.
His eyes widened as he stared at the descending monster.
"The Dragon General…"
Kai felt the pressure in the air increase instantly.
His chest burned as the Dragon Sovereign System reacted violently.
The interface flashed rapidly.
[Extreme Dragon Energy Detected]
[Host Bloodline Resonating]
Kai staggered slightly.
"What the hell…"
The energy inside his body was reacting to the dragon.
It felt like fire running through his veins.
Lyra looked at him sharply.
"You feel it, don't you?"
Kai clenched his jaw.
"Yeah."
"What is this thing?"
Lyra answered quietly.
"A Dragon General commands entire dragon armies."
Kai looked up again.
The creature was even larger than the first dragon.
Its wings blotted out the storm clouds.
Golden flames burned around its mouth.
The Dragon Hunters leader cursed.
"This mission just turned into a disaster."
He turned to his men.
"Forget the boy."
"We retreat."
The hunters looked shocked.
"But the target—"
"Now!" the leader snapped.
Even dragon hunters knew when a battle was impossible.
The three armored hunters quickly retreated into the darkness.
But Kai didn't move.
Because the dragon's glowing eyes were locked on him again.
Lyra noticed it too.
"That's bad…"
Kai forced a laugh.
"Yeah. I noticed."
The dragon descended slowly.
Every movement shook the ground.
Cars flipped.
Buildings cracked.
The monster landed in the center of the street.
BOOM.
A massive shockwave blasted outward.
Kai barely managed to stay on his feet.
The dragon lowered its head.
Its enormous golden eyes studied him carefully.
For a moment, everything became silent.
Then the dragon spoke.
Not with sound.
But directly inside Kai's mind.
"A hatchling…"
Kai froze.
"Excuse me?"
The dragon's voice rumbled again.
"You carry the blood of the Sovereign."
Kai's heart stopped.
"The Sovereign?"
Lyra's eyes widened slightly.
Kai noticed it immediately.
"You know something about that, don't you?"
But Lyra stayed silent.
The dragon continued speaking.
"The first dragon sensed you."
"And now… so do I."
Kai clenched his fists.
"So what?"
The dragon's eyes narrowed.
"Show me."
Suddenly—
The dragon attacked.
Its massive claw slammed toward Kai.
CRASH!
The ground exploded.
Kai barely rolled aside.
Concrete shattered where he had been standing.
The system blared an alarm.
[Dragon Combat Initiated]
Kai jumped to his feet.
"This is insane!"
But the dragon attacked again.
Its tail swept through the street.
Cars flew through the air.
Kai sprinted forward, barely escaping the shockwave.
The system flashed another message.
[Dragon Heart reacting]
[New Skill Available]
Kai blinked.
"A new skill?"
The description appeared.
[Skill: Dragon Pulse]
[Release draconic energy through physical strike]
Kai looked at the dragon again.
It was already preparing another attack.
"Well…"
Kai cracked his knuckles.
"Guess I'll try it."
The dragon's claw descended again.
Kai charged forward instead of retreating.
Lyra shouted behind him.
"Kai, don't—!"
But it was too late.
Kai's fist glowed with golden energy.
He punched the dragon's claw.
BOOM.
A shockwave exploded across the street.
For a moment—
Everything stopped.
Even the dragon froze.
Kai stared at his glowing hand in disbelief.
"Did I actually…"
The dragon slowly lifted its claw again.
This time there was a small crack in one of its scales.
Lyra's eyes widened.
"That's impossible…"
Even the dragon seemed surprised.
It stared at Kai with new interest.
"A hatchling that can wound a general…"
Kai grinned despite the pain in his arm.
"Guess I'm full of surprises."
The dragon suddenly spread its wings.
The air trembled violently.
Its eyes burned brighter.
"Then prove your worth."
The system flashed again.
[New Trial Unlocked]
Kai's heart skipped a beat.
"Another trial?"
The screen displayed the objective.
[Dragon Sovereign Trial – Phase Two]
Kai swallowed.
"Phase two…?"
Before he could read the rest—
The dimensional gate above the city suddenly exploded with energy.
CRACK.
Another massive shadow appeared behind the Dragon General.
Lyra whispered in shock.
"That's impossible…"
Kai looked up.
"What now?"
Lyra answered slowly.
"Because that…"
"…is a Dragon King."
Kai's blood ran cold.
Because the creature emerging from the gate was even larger than the Dragon General.
And its glowing red eyes were already staring directly at him.
What will Kai do now?
Why are dragons gathering around him?
And what terrifying power is hidden inside the Dragon Sovereign System?
What will happen next?
