Chapter 1680: Chapter 1147: You’ll Have to Repay This Later_2

"That’s enough, thank you!"

As soon as Pasival’s voice fell, Reiger placed his hand on his shoulder for the second time.

"The rest is up to you all."

Saying this, Reiger activated the teleportation magic, sending Pasival into the royal city.

At the scene, only Reiger and Melusina remained.

"Ugh... ahhhhhhhhhhhh...!"

At this moment, Melusina let out a painful wail.

"Boom!"

The filth, which dyed half of her body black, suddenly erupted without any warning, like a living curse, completely enveloping Melusina’s petite figure.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh...!"

Melusina screamed in agony, her voice gradually becoming inhuman.

It was not a lamentation nor a howl, but the roar of a slumbering evil dragon awakening, ready to wreak havoc upon the world.

"Boom!"

Astonishing magic power and curses exploded within Melusina, causing her to gradually transform into a dragon in the darkness.

This was not metaphorical; she was truly becoming a dragon.

Her original limbs morphed into dragon claws and feet, rapidly growing thicker.

Her petite form turned into a massive dragon body, the surface covered with inorganic, cold scales.

Her silver hair lost its color, her delicate and beautiful face morphed into something fierce; the face once praised as the most beautiful in the Fairy Country of Britain gradually transformed into a large dragon’s head.

"Roar——!!!"

A pitch-black dragon, several meters long, replaced Melusina’s figure, unfurled its dragon wings, and let out a thunderous roar at the sky.

"Is this the form she takes after losing everything?"

Bathing in the terrifying oppressive feeling and storm-like surges, witnessing Melusina’s complete transformation, Reiger’s robes billowed, sounding in the wind, but he was not surprised by the events in front of him.

Pasival, who had already left before, actually didn’t know that his attempt to temporarily calm Melusina’s emotions here was wrong from the start.

Melusina, whose emotional pillar had been shattered, was destined not to remain unharmed in the end.

Because she was never in a state of being completely unharmed.

She was an existence transformed from the left hand of the already deceased Dragon of Albion, if spoken nicely, she was a descendant of Albion, a part of its physical body; if spoken harshly, Melusina was merely a pile of decaying meat turned into mud.

The Dragon of Albion had long since died, leaving only a dragon corpse in the swamp, in other words, a skeletal remains.

Born from the corpse, isn’t that already decayed, dead flesh?

Moreover, the swamp where the dragon corpse was located had been filled with a full curse poison, and Melusina, born there from the beginning, was destined not to be any beautiful existence, but rather quite filthy.

This was why Melusina initially had no particular form.

At that time, she was merely a pool of filth in the Dragon Corpse Swamp, a conglomeration of filth.

The reason she became a beautiful, heart-wrenching figure was just because the person who pulled her out of the mud possessed beauty that shocked her soul, to the extent that Melusina, who longed for that beauty, at the moment she was pulled out, possessed a form and appearance known as the most beautiful in all of Britain.

This was also why Melusina always referred to her true form as quite filthy.

Her limbs were covered in mud, her cheeks were covered with filth, yet in that state she still retained the form of "Melusina" and did not revert to her original shape, a pool of filth.

The reason was simple: at that time she still had a spiritual pillar, still longing for the person who granted her everything, hence instinctively maintaining the form of a girl.

But now, her spirit has been shattered, her persistence ruthlessly torn apart by Reiger and Pasival, and she has lost everything in the true sense.

The beautiful image of the person she most admired, covered by dark shadows, Melusina could no longer maintain the form of a girl.

If the Elf Knight Lancelot was an elf, then reclaiming the name taken by that person, Melusina, was akin to the legends of human history, a half-dragon, half-elf.

And now, the part of her that was an elf has been completely lost, naturally, she has become a complete dragon, a complete monster.

This form of Melusina was her true appearance.

The form that the final end of the Dragon of Albion has transformed into naturally can only be a dragon of sorrow with both soul and body dead.

"Roar!!!"

What was once Melusina let out a roar resembling lamentation.

She had completely lost her memories as "Lancelot" and "Melusina," and transformed into a mindless, emotionless evil dragon.

Undoubtedly, Melusina in this state would be even stronger than before.

However, this strength would no longer be aimed at Reiger and the united forces, but at the entire Fairy Country of Britain.

In the original work, when Morgan died, the throne was vacant, the monster in the Great Cavern awakened, and the once-in-a-millennium "Great Calamity" officially erupted, Melusina, having lost everything, also transformed into this form.

In this form, she became part of the "Great Calamity," called - "Flame Calamity."

However——

"The ’Great Calamity’ hasn’t truly erupted yet; you are making an early appearance, Flame Calamity."

As the pitch-black dragon, covered entirely in icy, inorganic steel-like armor, prepared to ascend into the sky to burn all of Britain, Reiger’s figure suddenly appeared before it.

"Roar!"

The Catastrophe Dragon seemed to sense danger, suddenly lowered its head, gathered formidable magic power in its mouth, ready to spew at Reiger.

But before that could happen, Reiger’s hand was already pressed against the pitch-black dragon.

"[Non-Action Transformation]."

In that instant, the dragon that had lost everything had even its soul taken into the control of another.

Reiger forcefully invaded the body of the evil dragon, ignoring its threat, completely grasping its soul.

"————!"

The pitch-black dragon, resembling a black dragon fighter jet, stalled throughout its body, and the massive magic power gathering in its mouth dissipated involuntarily.

"Crack... crackcrack..."

Cracks began to appear on the black dragon’s body, making it resemble a broken sculpture, slowly fissuring.

"Bang!"

Shortly thereafter, with a sound akin to breaking glass, the black dragon’s shell shattered.

A silver-haired elf girl appeared at the heart of the dragon, entirely unclothed, eyes closed, as if slumbering within a crystal coffin, beautiful and pure.

Melusina, having reverted to her girl form, thus fell from midair, landing into Reiger’s arms.

"Uh..."

The girl’s eyelids quivered slightly, after a long time, she struggled to open them.

What met her eyes was the iconic twilight sky of Britain, and the remnants of the dragon’s shell, flying like fragments of black crystal.

The young man stood amidst this scenery, holding her, looking down from above, meeting her gaze.

This scene made the girl’s expression turn into a daze.

She couldn’t help it.

Back then, when she first gained something called "emotion," awakened by someone pulling her out from the filthy black swamp, the first scene she saw seemed to be like this.

Yet this time, the person pulling her from the Abyss Swamp was not someone possessing admirable beauty, but a strong boy even more powerful than herself.

"Don’t thank me."

His gaze upon her wasn’t gentle, yet extremely profound.

"You’ll have to repay it in the future."

In such words, entirely lacking in tenderness, Melusina found herself unable to even muster a wry smile, closing her eyes again, falling into slumber...
