Chapter 17 - The Roar of the Monster King

The sky above the city of Eldoria turned dark purple.

Clouds swirled like a giant vortex, and flashes of Void energy struck the city's towers.

The citizens ran through the streets in panic.

Amid the destruction… a massive shadow stood atop the city gate.

The creature spread its enormous wings.

It was Drakthar.

His body resembled a gigantic dragon wrapped in Void energy.

His eyes burned red as he gazed down upon the trembling city.

"Humans…," he growled softly.

"This world will belong to the Void."

Drakthar lifted his head and released a terrifying roar.

A wave of Void energy swept across the entire city.

Buildings collapsed.

Watchtowers crumbled.

The city's soldiers could not even get close.

But suddenly—

The sound of galloping horses echoed from the southern gate.

A group of warriors rushed into the city.

At their front was Arken.

Behind him followed Lunaria and the members of the Eclipse Alliance.

Arken looked at the ruined city, and his expression turned cold.

"So that's… a Void General."

Kael looked up at the massive monster.

"He's much bigger than I imagined."

Mira drew her bow.

"If we don't stop him now… this city is finished."

From atop the city gate, Drakthar finally noticed their arrival.

His eyes immediately locked onto one person.

Arken.

The Void energy around his body began to tremble.

"So… you are the heir of the Eclipse."

Drakthar smiled cruelly.

"I could feel your power even from afar."

Arken stepped forward a few paces.

The night wind blew through his black cloak.

"If you want to destroy this world…"

"you'll have to go through me first."

Drakthar burst into loud laughter.

The monster's roar shook the entire city.

"Excellent!"

"I will destroy you first!"

Suddenly, Drakthar leapt down from the city gate.

The ground cracked as his giant body landed.

Dust and rocks scattered in every direction.

The great battle began.

Arken raised his sword.

Shadow energy began to flow around his body.

Behind him, Lunaria lifted her hand and moonlight appeared in the air.

"Arken…"

"I will support you."

Arken nodded.

"Alright."

Drakthar spread his wings once more.

Void energy gathered in his mouth.

"VOID ROAR!"

A wave of destruction shot directly toward them.

Arken immediately leapt forward.

"Eclipse Slash!"

His blade sliced through the wave of energy.

A massive explosion shook the entire city of Eldoria.

Smoke and dust filled the air.

And within that explosion…

Two great powers finally collided.
