Chapter 16: The Roar of the First Dragon
The sky above Blackridge was no longer normal.
Dark clouds swirled like a giant storm vortex.
At the center of that chaos stood Kai.
Golden dragon energy burned around his body.
Behind him, the gigantic shadow of the **First Dragon** spread across the sky.
Even the Abyss God had stopped moving.
For the first time since arriving…
The monster looked cautious.
Kai slowly raised his head.
His eyes were glowing with faint golden light.
He looked at his hands.
Energy pulsed through his veins like lightning.
The system flashed rapidly.
[Dragon Sovereign Awakening: 52%]
Kai exhaled slowly.
"So this is what power feels like…"
Lyra stared at him in shock.
"Kai… your aura…"
Kai glanced at her.
"What about it?"
Lyra pointed behind him.
Kai turned.
And finally saw it.
The shadow of a colossal dragon stood behind him.
Its wings stretched across half the sky.
Its eyes burned like ancient suns.
The **First Dragon**.
Kai blinked slowly.
"Oh."
"That's new."
Drakar bowed his head immediately.
The Dragon Emperor lowered its wings.
Even the Sovereign Dragon roared respectfully.
Every dragon present recognized the ancient being.
Kai scratched his head.
"Okay… so apparently I just summoned the dragon god."
The Abyss God suddenly spoke.
Its voice echoed across the sky like thunder.
"So the legend was true."
Kai looked up.
"What legend?"
The Abyss God's glowing eyes narrowed.
"The First Dragon chooses a vessel once every thousand years."
Kai pointed at himself.
"Let me guess… that vessel is me."
The Abyss God's six wings spread slowly.
Dark energy rolled across the sky.
"You are still incomplete."
Kai shrugged.
"Working on it."
The creature raised its hand.
The black sun above the city grew larger.
Buildings began cracking under the pressure.
Lyra shouted.
"Kai, if that attack lands the entire city will disappear!"
Kai looked at the massive sphere of dark energy.
Then he looked at the First Dragon's shadow behind him.
The dragon shadow slowly opened its mouth.
A deep ancient roar shook the heavens.
RRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
The sound alone shattered the black sun instantly.
The dark energy exploded into harmless fragments.
The Abyss God stepped back.
Actually stepped back.
Kai noticed that.
"Wait."
"You're scared of my dragon?"
The Abyss God growled.
"I fear nothing."
Kai grinned.
"Sure."
The system suddenly displayed another message.
[New Ability Unlocked]
Kai raised an eyebrow.
"Oh?"
The description appeared.
[Skill: First Dragon Roar]
[Authority over all dragon species temporarily increased]
Kai looked at Drakar.
His bonded dragon raised its head proudly.
Then Kai looked at the Dragon Emperor.
The massive creature was watching him carefully.
Kai smirked.
"Well…"
"Let's try this."
He stepped forward.
Golden energy exploded around him.
The First Dragon's shadow moved with him.
Kai took a deep breath.
Then shouted toward the sky.
"DRAGONS!"
The roar that came out of Kai's mouth was not human.
It was ancient.
Primal.
Powerful.
Every dragon in the sky froze instantly.
The Dragon Emperor lowered its head.
The Sovereign Dragon folded its wings.
Even the dragons still emerging from the dimensional gate stopped moving.
Lyra stared in disbelief.
"Kai…"
Kai slowly raised his hand.
"Attack."
The Dragon Emperor roared.
Drakar roared.
The Sovereign Dragon roared.
And suddenly—
An entire army of dragons launched toward the Abyss God.
The sky exploded with dragon fire.
The Abyss God raised its wings defensively.
But even it looked shocked.
Kai laughed loudly.
"Alright!"
"Now that's more like it!"
But just as the dragon army attacked—
The Abyss God suddenly smiled.
A terrifying cold smile.
Lyra noticed it first.
"Kai…"
Kai frowned.
"What?"
Lyra pointed toward the dimensional gate.
"Kai… that wasn't the Abyss God's full form."
Kai blinked.
"What do you mean?"
Because inside the portal…
Something even larger began moving.
Something so massive that the entire gate started breaking apart.
The Abyss God whispered quietly.
"You have awakened the First Dragon…"
Kai looked up slowly.
"So?"
The Abyss God's smile widened.
"That means it is finally time."
The sky cracked again.
A gigantic claw emerged from the abyss.
The system exploded with warnings.
[ULTIMATE ENTITY DETECTED]
Kai stared upward.
"Oh come on."
"What now?!"
Because the creature emerging from the Abyss was not just a god.
It was something far worse.
Will the First Dragon fully awaken inside Kai?
What terrifying entity is coming from the Abyss?
And can even a Dragon Sovereign survive the war between worlds?
What will happen next?
