"Boom—!"
Above Kuoh Town, the once utterly tranquil night sky suddenly erupted with a thunderous roar. A shockwave swept through the air like a violent gale, churning the atmosphere with astonishing force.
Amid the roar, two figures—one large and one small—were both blasted backward from the center of the collision. Rubbing against the air, they tore apart by several hundred meters amid piercing shrieks before finally steadying themselves.
Noah's entire body trembled as he came to a halt in midair. Feeling a slight numbness throughout his body, he raised his head and looked ahead.
Only then did Noah clearly see the full appearance of his opponent.
It was a giant.
That was right.
A giant.
Yet this giant had a ferocious dragon's head, sharp dragon claws, and a thick dragon tail. A pair of dragon wings even larger than its body grew from its back. It looked like an enormous Dragon Man, easily exceeding thirty meters in height and dwarfing Noah countless times over.
Its scales were pale black.
Its eyes were pale silver.
But dark green ripples coiled around its body.
From those ripples, Noah sensed an evil aura.
And in the other's eyes, Noah felt a suffocating madness.
"Grendel?" Ddraig's astonished voice rang out in Noah's heart.
"It's actually him?"
"Grendel?" Noah said in surprise, finally giving the enormous Dragon Man his full attention.
"So he's Grendel?"
Grendel, the Tyrant Dragon of Great Sin.
He was one of the legendary-class Evil Dragons Ddraig had mentioned before.
And speaking of this Evil Dragon, one had to mention a hero from the north—Beowulf.
