드디어 초원

초원의 풀밭이 갈라졌다.먼저 튀어나온 건 뼈송곳 스켈레톤 무리.갈비뼈와 척추에서 솟아난 송곳들이 새벽빛에 반짝이며 드래곤들을 향해 달려왔다.뼈송곳 스켈레톤 덩굴 포식자레드가 숨을 들이켰다.“후우우어어어어!”더블 파이어가 폭발하며 수십을 불태웠다.그러나 쓰러진 자리에선 뼈 송곳이 사방으로 튀어올라, 땅을 가시밭처럼 만들었다.그 순간 발밑에서 덩굴 포식자들이 튀어나왔다.늑대처럼 울부짖으며 덩굴을 휘감아 드래곤들의 다리를 묶었다.블랙은 날카롭게 으르렁거렸다.“잘라낸다!”그는 애시드 브레스로 덩굴을 녹여내고, 염동력으로 남은 괴물들을 짓눌렀다.화이트가 작은 빛을 내뿜자 덩굴의 가시들이 순식간에 타오르며 꺾였다.안개 속에서 미끄러지듯 나타난 것은 바이퍼 전사 무리였다.두 팔이 창처럼 길고, 입에서 초록빛 독을 뿜어내며 달려왔다.“스스스스죽여라!”그들의 목소리가 뱀의 쉭쉭거림과 섞여 들려왔다."우리도 파충류지 하지만 적이면 할수없어" 레드가 말한다레드가 날개로 바람을 일으켜 독기를 밀쳐냈지만, 몇몇 바이퍼 전사는 이미 근접해 있었다.블랙이 발톱으로 머리를 자르자, 잘린 머리가 여전히 땅을 기어와 발목을 물었다.화이트가 절박하게 외쳤다.“제발… 멈춰라!”그의 바람 마법이 폭발해 잘린 머리들을 날려버리고, 빛이 퍼져 동료들의 피부에 번진 독기를 씻어냈다.멀리서 대지를 흔드는 발소리.그리고 굵은 함성.“우어어어어!!”글런트 광전사 무리가 피범벅 칼날을 휘두르며 돌진했다.그들의 몸은 이미 상처투성이였지만, 상처가 깊어질수록 눈빛은 더 붉게 번졌다.레드가 화염의 벽을 펼쳐 길을 막았지만, 놈들은 불길 속에서 그대로 돌진해 그의 날개를 베어냈다.레드가 비명을 질렀다.“크아아악!”화이트가 빛을 발산해 그 상처를 겨우 붙잡았다.그러나 치유는 완전하지 않았다.블랙이 몸을 날려 글런트의 목을 발톱으로 찢으며 포효했다.그러자 광전사들의 무리는 오히려 환호처럼 함성을 질렀다.마지막으로 공중에 붉은 눈들이 켜졌다.검은 위습들이 안개처럼 퍼져나와, 불빛과 불길을 삼켜버렸다.순간 전장은 칠흑 같은 어둠에 잠겼다.화이트의 빛이 위습들을 밀쳐냈지만, 그는 곧 무릎을 꿇었다.“하아… 하아… 난 오래 못 버텨…”레드가 분노에 불타 날개를 쳐 올렸다.“이 빛 없는 하늘은 내가 불태워주지!”그는 마지막 힘을 끌어모아 거대한 화염 폭풍을 뿜었다.초원 전체가 붉은 불길에 휩싸이며 위습들이 비명과 함께 증발했다.블랙은 어둠의 손으로 남은 위습을 붙잡아 짓눌렀다.그리고 마지막으로 한마디를 내뱉었다.“이것이… 경쟁을 버티는 자의 힘이다.”괴물 무리가 모두 쓰러졌다.초원은 불길과 연기, 그리고 뼈와 독의 잔해로 가득했다.화이트가 떨리는 숨을 내쉬며 속삭였다.“…살아남았네.”레드가 상처 입은 날개를 접으며 씩 웃었다.“그래. 살아남았으니, 이긴 거다.”블랙은 하늘을 올려다보며 낮게 말했다.“하지만… 또 올 거다. 파도는 끝없이.”멀리서, 또 다른 괴물들의 울부짖음이 메아리쳤다.The grass of the meadow cracked. The first thing that came out was a group of bone skeletons. Fangs rising from ribs and spine ran toward the dragons, glistening in the dawn light. Skeleton Vine Predator Red took a breath. "Whoa, whoa!" The double fire exploded and burned dozens of people. But at the place where he fell, the bone awl popped up in all directions, turning the ground into a field of thorns. At that moment, vine predators popped out of their feet. Wailing like a wolf, he wrapped around the vines and tied the dragons' legs. Black growled sharply. "I'm cutting it!" He melted the vines with acid braces, and crushed the remaining monsters with salt power. As White emitted a little light, the thorns of the vines burned and broke in an instant. It was a group of viper warriors that glided out of the fog. His arms were as long as a spear, and he ran with a green venom from his mouth. "Kill the stars!" Their voices were heard with the hissing of snakes. "We're reptiles, too, but we can't do it if we're enemies," says Red Red blew with his wings to push out the venom, but some Viper warriors were already close. When Black cut his hair with his claws, the severed head still crawled through the ground and bit his ankle. White cried desperately. "Please... Stop!" His wind magic exploded and blew off his severed heads, and the light spread to wash away the poison that had spread on his colleagues' skin. the sound of footsteps shaking the ground in the distance. And a loud shout. "Wow!" A group of glant photographers rushed with a bloody blade. Their bodies were already covered with wounds, but the deeper the wounds, the more red their eyes spread. Red opened the wall of flames and blocked the road, but they rushed straight into the flames and cut off his wings. Red screamed. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" White gave off light and managed to hold on to the wound. But the healing was not complete. Black blew himself up and roared, clawing at Glent's neck. Then, the group of photojournalists shouted rather like cheers. Finally, red eyes lit up in the air. Black raids spread like mist, swallowing lights and flames. At the moment the battlefield was plunged into pitch black darkness. White's light pushed out the commandments, but he soon fell to his knees. "Sigh... (Sighs)… I can't last long...” Red raised his wings in anger. "I will burn this lightless sky!" He drew his last strength and unleashed a huge flame storm. The entire meadow was engulfed in red flames, and the terrors evaporated with screams. Black grabbed the remaining dominance with his dark hands and crushed it. And finally, he uttered a word. "This is... It's the power of those who can compete." The whole bunch of monsters fell down. The meadow was full of flames, smoke, bones, and the remains of poison. White whispered, exhaling his trembling breath. “…You survived." Red grinned as he folded his wounded wings. "Yes. You survived, you won." Black looked up at the sky and said low. "But... There will be another coming. The waves endlessly." In the distance, another howl of monsters echoed.
