After they arrived at the dragon's lair, they entered, facing a battle of life and death.
Tsubasa: We shouldn't provoke it, or it will become enraged.
Yui Ming: A real man faces his enemy without tricks.
He grabbed his chain and struck the ground with immense force.
A thunderous sound echoed, and the dragon awoke in fury, letting out a deafening roar.
Dragon: Who is the idiot that dared to wake me from my sleep?!
Yui Ming: A stupid dragon that can talk? Come and face me.
Dragon (laughing): An arrogant human dares to challenge me?!
Yui Ming: We'll see who's arrogant.
The dragon unleashed a massive wave of fire toward Yui Ming.
He dodged the flames, swung his chain, and struck the dragon—but nothing happened.
Yui Ming: Its skin is thick… resistant to powerful attacks.
Tsubasa: I can use magic. Let me try.
He formed a giant sphere of ice and hurled it at the dragon, but it had no effect.
Dragon (laughing): You will die easily.
The dragon released another torrent of flames, engulfing Yui Ming.
Tsubasa: Run!
The fire had no effect. Yui Ming emerged laughing madly at the dragon.
Dragon: What?! How did that not affect him?!
Yui Ming: I am immortal.
Both Tsubasa and the dragon were shocked by his words.
Yui Ming gripped his chain and leaped high, striking the dragon and slamming it to the ground.
The dragon extended its claws and severed Yui Ming's head.
Tsubasa gathered a massive block of ice and smashed it into the dragon, but it remained unharmed.
The dragon slashed Tsubasa with its claws, and he collapsed to the ground, bleeding.
Yui Ming revived, grabbed his chain, and rushed toward the dragon, but was cut in half again.
He regenerated, dodged the dragon's first strike, countered, yet was killed once more by a sudden blow.
Yui Ming (thinking): I need a plan. I'm alone now—Tsubasa is down and bleeding.
The dragon used illusions and killed him again.
Yui Ming: Damn it… I need something that cuts, not just something that injures.
He died, revived, and killed the dragon again using a terrifying illusion technique.
Suddenly, the dragon vanished and began killing him repeatedly.
Yui Ming couldn't handle its invisibility and illusion at the same time.
Each death and revival shattered his resolve.
Yui Ming: I've got it. During my training, one day I learned this—
Suddenly, a sword emerged from his chain.
After countless deaths, he finally found a way to kill the dragon.
Yui Ming (thinking): I must destroy the crystal above its head. It's the source of its power and its hardened body.
Yui Ming: Tsubasa, restrain it with your ice. I'll finish it.
Tsubasa stood up and summoned sharp ice spikes from the ground, pinning the dragon's legs.
Yui Ming charged forward with his sword and shattered the dragon's crystal.
Yui Ming: Tsubasa, you've avenged your parents. Come—embrace me.
Smiling, Tsubasa approached and hugged him.
Suddenly, Yui Ming drew his sword and killed Tsubasa.
Yui Ming: This world is deceitful. Trust no one. Sleep in peace in this cruel world.
Dragon (laughing weakly): I admit your strength and your cunning. Tell me—what is your dream?
Yui Ming: My dream? …Ah, my dream is to have no dream.
Dragon: What do you mean?
Yui Ming: Or rather—to shatter the dreams of others.
Yui Ming laughed with a sinister grin.
Dragon: Kill me and free me from this suffering.
Yui Ming: Everyone has a fate, and every fate has a dream it chases.
Fail to chase it, and your fate turns black.
You are now in your black fate.
Laughing madly, Yui Ming raised his sword and cleaved the dragon in two.
