If we lose... the consequences will be beyond me. I must win. I must.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atos’s gaze met Leon’s with equal intensity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In those crimson pupils was the disdainful arrogance of a supreme being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He already knew that the man before him was the one who had slain Shadow—Leon Casmod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samael, a realm where even Saints of the primary rank could “save the world”—but only because a disaster so great had threatened it that the world needed to be “saved.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, that disaster... was Atos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One far beyond any opponent Leon had ever faced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atos was curious: would Samael’s so-called savior be able to turn the tide this time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, Atos’s attention shifted away from Leon and swept across the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the Void's numbers were relatively few, the momentum was entirely on their side. Atos instantly noticed the Silver Dragons’ clear disadvantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scoffed, slowly turning his gaze back to Leon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like even with your personal appearance, and even if I hadn’t descended into Samael myself, my pets would’ve devoured all you pathetic creatures eventually. It’s only a matter of time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon didn’t take the bait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could see Atos’s words for what they were—psychological pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he and Noa had just temporarily sealed off most of the Void rifts. Even if it was short-lived, it was enough to buy the Silver Dragons time to stabilize the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Atos had only appeared after they closed ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) the rifts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That alone proved Atos wasn’t as confident as he claimed—he’d come because he was impatient, uncertain of the outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t as relaxed as he pretended to be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon didn’t respond. He silently gathered mana, gripped the Thundercloud Blade, raised his arm, and whispered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Noa, go support Anna and Sherry. I’ll take care of Atos.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could’ve taken Noa with him into battle. He could’ve let her fight alongside him against the false gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when it came to Atos... Leon didn’t believe her presence would help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, Noa now had full command of the Primordial Force. She was a formidable warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to Leon, her identity as “a daughter” meant more than any amount of “firepower.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew the true depths of Atos’s power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was unlike Shadow, whose limits could still be estimated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atos commanded the entire Void and the countless monstrosities within it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon had no confidence that he could defeat such a being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why he wanted Noa to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But of course Noa understood her father’s intentions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t move. Instead, she shifted her gaze from Leon to the distant figure of Atos and said quietly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dad, the situation is critical. I don’t want to argue. But just know this—if something happens to me, it’s my choice. You don’t have to take responsibility. And you absolutely don’t have to feel guilty.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon’s pupils trembled as he looked at her small frame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Noa...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he didn’t know was that—on this war-torn night—both Noa and Aurora, in separate places and different circumstances, had said nearly identical words:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is my choice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had grown up, shaped by the love and guidance of Leon and Rosvisser.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had developed their own will—and resolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He and his wife could no longer treat them as helpless little girls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon wasn’t sure whether to feel proud or overwhelmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since Noa had spoken so clearly, he couldn’t force her to leave anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still,” he said, “Don’t get hurt, Noa. Because if you do...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your mom will kill me when we get back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noa shook her head and laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only her dad could crack a joke like that at a time like this—finding humor even at the edge of disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, got it, Dad.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atos watched the father and daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were they... laughing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with a massive enemy force before them, they were smiling?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atos’s brows twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lowly beings,” he muttered. “They can’t even manage the most basic emotional restraint. You don’t deserve to live in such a beautiful world. Therefore...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His predator’s eyes swept across the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Before I take control of this world, I’ll clean out the trash.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his massive crimson greatsword and drove it into the earth before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wave of eerie violet energy flowed from his hand and seeped into the hilt of the sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That energy slowly entered the crimson eye embedded in the hilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the eye began to twitch violently. Bloodshot veins spiderwebbed across its sclera.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noa’s heart tensed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s about to strike.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get ready, Noa.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, countless violet beams shot out from the eye on Atos’s sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beams were dense, precise, and devastatingly powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash, everything within a hundred meters around Atos was vaporized... Even his own Void troops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Void Technique: Demonblade—Blight of the Forsaken Light\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beams swept across the battlefield like a net. Blood and flesh burst into the air wherever they passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Silver Dragon soldiers who reacted fast enough dodged in whatever ways they could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon activated his Sumeru Shadow just in time, shielding both himself and Noa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Void monsters were cut in half. Their shrieks were layered with the sounds of boiling blood and splintering bone. It sent a chill through every spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon poured everything into reinforcing the blue bones of his Sumeru Shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, when the beams struck its frame, deep gashes tore across it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had the beams targeted a single point instead of sweeping in lines, the Sumeru Shadow would’ve shattered within seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon had never encountered anything like this. An attack so widespread, so lethal, it could penetrate Sumeru Shadow itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beam barrage lasted two full minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when it finally ended, the once-chaotic battlefield had been cleared into a vast, empty space. That is, if you ignored the corpses of the Void beasts and Silver Dragon warriors strewn across the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noa stood in shock, eyes wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stared at the devastation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This kind of indiscriminate attack... even killing his own troops...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Safina-sensei and Kaiser were right. This guy really is insane.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the fallen warriors... the rage in her heart surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s clearing the battlefield... making room... But why? Those Void creatures still had plenty of combat value. Why kill them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon narrowed his eyes, recalling what the Safina siblings had once told him during the Lantern Festival—about the Void’s two factions: the Descensionists and the Homeland Loyalists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could it be—?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t have to wait long for the answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atos raised his massive sword again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, a colossal Void rift opened—a gaping wound in the air, like a titanic eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From its depths poured armored Void warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the previous beastlike monsters, these were equipped, disciplined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noa stared at the new arrivals behind Atos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Judging by their formation and step, they’re far more organized than those previous creatures.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is Atos’s real army.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Formed by the Descensionists and the Homeland Loyalists. Atos never cared about the frontline Void creatures. He cleared the battlefield to make space for these.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Descensionists wanted to invade Samael for a better world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Homeland Loyalists wanted to restore vitality to the Void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But under Atos’s threat of force and massacre, both sides had followed him—abandoning their principles to trample another world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was the earlier monster horde, or this new organized army, their numbers far exceeded the remaining Silver Dragon soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With sword in hand, Atos dragged its blade across the scorched earth, carving burning trenches as he strode toward Leon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well then... Are you ready to be consumed by the Void, Leon... Casmod?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1322,"2026-06-06T15:10:08.963Z",1,"novelbin.me","46cf03c0d34bb5768d509116e1cea217aa0799cad9f0b29e2e0d0183390706aa","shut-up-malevolent-dragon-i-don-t-want-to-have-a-chapter-795","shut-up-malevolent-dragon-i-don-t-want-to-have-a-chapter-793",914,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshut-up-malevolent-dragon-i-don-t-want-to-have-a-cover.jpg"]
