Chapter 126 - Slaying Fenrir!

Chapter 125 – Slaying Fenrir!

As the dust of battle began to settle and the sky returned to silence, the figure of Fenrir—wounded and drenched in blood—finally became visible to those watching from afar.

But unfortunately… even after enduring that devastating explosion, it wasn't enough to bring down the infamous God-Eating Wolf.

A long, guttural howl pierced the air.

Fenrir roared toward the heavens. The pain only seemed to awaken something deeper—his most primal, savage instincts.

His bloodied body lunged forward with terrifying speed, charging straight at Akira.

A flash of metal sparked in the air as a sickening crack echoed.

One of Akira's dragon arms—still in his Juggernaut Drive form—was pierced by Fenrir's fang.

His body shook from the impact.

Fenrir's fangs weren't just sharp teeth. They were mythical weapons—said to inflict wounds that couldn't be healed by any ordinary means. Only Phoenix Tears, the sacred elixir of the House of Phenex, could undo the damage.

Akira responded instantly.

With his left arm, he struck Fenrir hard, sending the massive wolf crashing upward into the air.

But the damage was done.

His right arm was mangled. Several gaping holes bled profusely.

Even so—time never stopped on the battlefield.

Grinding his teeth, Akira forcefully drew in energy from the land around him. He compressed the flow into the wounded limb—not to heal it, but to suppress the poison and hold the arm together, just enough to keep fighting.

A roar followed.

Louder. Stronger.

Fenrir's aura spiked again. The limiters within his body were breaking.

The longer he fought, the closer he got… to his true form.

But then—

A golden shimmer flickered through the air.

From all directions, dozens—no, hundreds—of Chains of Heaven descended.

These sacred chains, relics of ancient Mesopotamian legend, surged through the air like divine serpents, all converging on Fenrir.

『Boost!』

『Boost!』

『Boost!』

Powered by the Boosted Gear's multiplier system, the chains grew stronger, thicker, faster.

In an instant, they expanded to gigantic size—wrapping around the night sky like celestial serpents.

Fenrir tried to evade. But no matter how fast he moved, there were too many chains to escape from.

With a metallic thud, one chain slammed into his body—piercing through his side.

The beast howled in agony.

Before he could recover, a second, a third, and a fourth struck him—each one binding his limbs, piercing his flesh, anchoring him in place.

The very chains that once bound the Bull of Heaven in Uruk…

Now sealed the beast of Norse myth.

Step by step…

Akira walked toward Fenrir.

Even while bound and bleeding, Fenrir bared his fangs. His eyes burned with hatred—for the human who dared drive him this far.

Akira understood. If even a single chain slipped for just one second, Fenrir would lunge for his throat.

And that's why…

The emerald jewel on his chest began glowing once more.

『Boost!』

『Boost!』

『Boost!』

Over and over, Akira's power multiplied.

The Juggernaut Drive was the ultimate form of the Red Dragon Emperor. The true force of Ddraig, long sealed, had now returned in full.

— Flame Blaze, a fire that incinerated existence itself.

— Blue Lightning Light, bolts that split the heavens.

— And Transcendent-level magical energy, equivalent to "Over Rank" beings.

All of it—focused, compressed, and delivered in one final attack.

There was no distance left between them.

Fenrir couldn't escape.

『Longinus Breaker!』

A catastrophic burst of energy erupted from Akira's body.

Magic, dragon force, physical might—all exploded outward, erasing everything in a ten-kilometer radius.

Only a massive crater remained in the underworld's surface.

High above, Akira's silhouette floated silently.

His Juggernaut Drive had vanished.

Even his Balance Breaker armor was gone.

He had used up all his magical reserves in that final blow.

The wound on his arm still gushed blood—two deep holes that refused to close.

With a trembling hand, Akira pulled out a small glass vial from his pocket.

He poured the Phoenix Tear over his wound.

In an instant, the damage vanished—like it had never existed.

The healing was so overwhelming that Akira came to a clear realization:

— No matter what, he needed more Phoenix Tears. No matter what it took.

Minutes passed.

The scorched earth cooled.

Akira stared into the crater.

Fenrir's body remained.

The legendary wolf was still breathing… barely.

His body was torn apart. Blood leaked from every limb. His back had been crushed. His wings had been obliterated.

"…Still alive?"

Akira frowned. The creature's durability was simply unreal.

A sword appeared in his hand.

Ascalon, the holy dragon-slaying blade.

Fenrir wasn't a dragon—or a devil—but Ascalon didn't discriminate. It cut down all who opposed its wielder.

And today, it would end a legend.

Fenrir, even half-dead, raised his head one last time.

He still showed his fangs.

Akira said nothing.

He stared at the beast—not with hatred, but with quiet respect.

『Boost!』

He gathered the last remnants of energy within him.

There was no spiritual force left in the battlefield. The earth had been drained dry.

"…Rest well."

One clean strike.

No hesitation.

With a single swing, Fenrir's head was severed from his body.

The beast that haunted the gods of Asgard—the slayer of Odin at Ragnarök—was felled by the hand of a human who bore the power of the Red Dragon.

[Ding!]

Akira immediately remembered—two of Fenrir's children were still alive.

And then… there was one more entity.

A dragon.

He turned toward the distant battlefield.

It was over.

Hati and Sköll had been defeated.

Even Midgardsormr, the World Serpent, had fallen.
