The battlefield had gone silent.
Moments ago the sky above Blackridge had been filled with fire, explosions, and the roars of hundreds of dragons.
Now everything had stopped.
Because something far more terrifying had appeared.
The dimensional rift behind the Abyss King had cracked open wider than ever before.
Dark lightning crawled across the sky.
Space itself looked like it was tearing apart.
Kai Draven stood in the middle of the ruined city, staring at the sky.
"…Okay."
"That portal really needs to stop doing that."
Beside him, Lyra wasn't joking anymore.
Her face had gone completely pale.
"Kai… this is bad."
Kai glanced at her.
"Everything today has been bad."
Lyra slowly pointed at the portal.
"No… this is worse."
Above them, the Dragon Queen had spread her massive golden wings.
Golden fire drifted around her body like stars.
But even she looked tense now.
The Celestial Dragon hovered beside her.
Its twelve wings stretched across the clouds.
For the first time since arriving…
Both ancient dragons looked cautious.
Kai noticed immediately.
"That's not comforting."
The Abyss King suddenly laughed.
A deep horrifying sound echoed across the battlefield.
"So it finally arrives."
Kai frowned.
"Wait."
"You know what that thing is?"
The Abyss King's glowing red eyes shifted toward him.
"I do."
Its voice turned darker.
"And even I would prefer it stayed asleep."
Kai blinked.
"…Great."
"That's exactly what I wanted to hear."
The dimensional rift exploded with energy.
CRAAAAAAACK.
Something enormous began pushing through the portal.
First came a claw.
But it wasn't like the claws of dragons or demons.
This claw looked ancient.
Its scales were completely black.
Not normal black.
A darkness that seemed to swallow the light around it.
Lyra whispered in disbelief.
"That scale color…"
Kai glanced at her.
"What?"
Lyra swallowed.
"That is forbidden dragon blood."
Kai frowned.
"I'm going to need a better explanation."
Before Lyra could answer—
The creature forced its head through the portal.
The sky exploded with pressure.
BOOOOOOM.
Kai felt the shockwave slam into his chest.
Even the Dragon Emperor stumbled backward.
Drakar growled nervously beside him.
The massive creature finally emerged from the rift.
And the entire battlefield froze.
It was a dragon.
But unlike any dragon that had ever existed.
Its body was larger than the Dragon Emperor.
Its wings stretched across half the sky.
And its scales were completely black.
Not dark gray.
Not shadow colored.
Pure abyss-like black.
Even the Dragon Queen stared at the creature in shock.
"That… should not exist."
Kai looked up slowly.
"…That is the biggest dragon I've ever seen."
The system exploded with alerts.
[Unknown Dragon Entity Detected]
Kai raised an eyebrow.
"Oh?"
The next message appeared.
[Entity Identification Failed]
Kai blinked.
"…That's new."
Then another alert appeared.
[Warning: Corrupted Dragon Sovereign Energy]
Kai stared at the screen.
"Corrupted… Sovereign?"
The black dragon slowly opened its eyes.
They burned with dark crimson light.
For a moment the entire sky seemed to tremble.
The creature spoke.
Its voice echoed across the world like thunder.
"Finally…"
"A Sovereign awakens again."
Kai pointed at himself.
"Yeah, that's me."
The dragon's glowing eyes locked onto him.
But its gaze wasn't hostile.
It was curious.
Almost… amused.
The Abyss King suddenly roared.
"That creature does not belong to your realm!"
The black dragon turned slowly.
Its enormous wings shifted the clouds.
"You still crawl between worlds, Abyss King?"
The king's dark aura expanded violently.
"Leave this world."
The black dragon laughed.
A low ancient sound.
"I was here long before your abyss even existed."
Kai scratched his head.
"Okay."
"That sounds like a big deal."
The Dragon Queen suddenly descended slightly lower.
Her golden eyes burned with authority.
"State your name."
For a moment the creature remained silent.
Then the black dragon spoke one word.
"Noxar."
Lyra gasped beside Kai.
"That name…"
Kai frowned.
"What about it?"
Lyra looked at him in disbelief.
"That is the name of the dragon that nearly destroyed the Dragon Realm thousands of years ago."
Kai blinked.
"…Of course it is."
The system flashed again.
[Dragon Sovereign Awakening: 85%]
Golden dragon fire erupted around Kai's body.
The shadow of the First Dragon expanded across the battlefield.
Noxar noticed immediately.
Its red eyes narrowed slightly.
"So the bloodline truly returned."
Kai crossed his arms.
"People keep saying that."
"What does it actually mean?"
Noxar slowly descended toward the battlefield.
Each movement shook the air.
The Dragon Queen prepared for battle.
The Celestial Dragon spread its twelve wings.
Even the Abyss King looked cautious now.
Three ancient powers faced each other in the sky.
Kai stood between them.
He sighed.
"…Why do I feel like this is about to get worse?"
Noxar finally landed.
The ground shattered beneath its massive body.
Then the ancient dragon lowered its head toward Kai.
"You are not ready."
Kai smirked.
"I've been hearing that a lot."
Noxar's voice turned colder.
"Because if you fail…"
The dragon's crimson eyes glowed brighter.
"…every world will burn."
The dimensional rift behind them suddenly exploded again.
CRAAAAACK.
More portals began opening across the sky.
Not one.
Not two.
Dozens.
Lyra stared upward in horror.
"Kai…"
Kai sighed.
"…Yeah."
Lyra whispered slowly.
"The multiverse war just started."
What is the true identity of the black dragon Noxar?
Why does it know the Dragon Sovereign bloodline?
And what will happen when Kai reaches 100% awakening?
What will happen next?
