01. Defeated for the First Time in My Life
01. Defeated for the First Time in My Life
Ancient dragons do not lose.
Ancient Dragon Lesia knew this to be true.
In the little over a hundred years since she was born, she had never once encountered a being stronger than herself.
Even though she had only just left her Hatchling stage to become an Adult Dragon, she was still the strongest.
But that fact didn't particularly matter to Lesia.
A hundred-odd years was a young age for a dragon, but to other living things, she was already a calamity.
To commemorate becoming an Adult Dragon, Lesia fired off a Breath with all her might.
"......This isn't going to work."
Lesia muttered as she looked at the enormous hole that had opened up before her eyes.
"As expected, becoming an adult makes the power completely different."
But she was not yet a complete adult.
Dragons had a one-year period after becoming adults to stabilize their Mana Core.
Once the Mana Core was fully stabilized, the physical gender would also become fixed.
Since Lesia had possessed a male ego as a Hatchling, she intended to choose a male body.
It was a change that came only once in a dragon's lifetime.
Confident in her own power, Lesia left her Lair before the stabilization period was over.
---
It was while she was crossing over a mountain range that Lesia sensed a strange mana.
There was nothing visible to the eye.
And yet, something was definitely there.
Lesia slowly descended to the ground and transformed into a humanoid form.
Short silver hair.
Golden eyes.
Small black horns rising from both sides of her head.
It was a form halfway between the combat-oriented Dragonian and a humanoid.
Judging by appearance alone, she was closer to a man of about twenty years of age.
Lesia naturally recognized her own appearance as male.
"So it's here."
She swung her hand toward the cliff, mana gathered in her palm.
When the powerful energy collided with the cliff, part of it crumbled and dust flew.
Once the dust settled, a black stone door revealed itself beneath the cliff.
Unrecognizable characters covered the entire door.
Lesia furrowed her brow.
Dragons inherit vast knowledge from the moment they are born.
Ancient human script, Elvish, demonic realm characters...
She could even read the languages of several races that had already gone extinct.
But the characters carved into the black stone door were ones she was seeing for the first time.
"...Interesting."
Lesia should have been on guard.
An Ancient Ruin whose identity even the strongest Ancient Dragon could not discern, unreadable characters.
Everything was hinting that this was dangerous.
On top of that, she was in an unstable state just before Maturation, so she could have just come back in a few days.
There were plenty of reasons to turn back, but Lesia didn't think deeply about it.
"Looks like there really is something here."
And she pushed the door.
Kugugugung—
Stone dust poured down as if it hadn't been opened in thousands of years.
Darkness yawned open.
Lesia went inside.
---
The ruin was strangely enormous.
So large it was impossible to think of it as a structure made by humans.
This ruin was large enough that even a giant dragon passing through in its true form would have room to spare.
"Was this made for dragons?"
Lesia ran her fingertips along the wall.
She felt nothing.
Her instincts warned her.
Go back.
Something is wrong.
A dragon's senses are far sharper than a human's.
And those senses were now continuously screaming one thing.
Dangerous.
"......."
Sensing that something was wrong, Lesia stopped.
Should I go back.
It was the first time such a thought had occurred to her.
That was the moment.
Kung.
A sound came from deep within the ruin.
Lesia raised her head.
Kung.
It was footsteps.
The corner of Lesia's mouth lifted slightly.
Curiosity came before fear.
The pride of being the strongest erased her fear.
"Come out, why don't you."
There was no answer.
"If you won't come out, I'll come to you."
And she went deep into the ruin, into the darkness.
---
Lesia passed through a dark passage and emerged into the light.
The place Lesia came out to was a large cavern.
Something was sitting in the center of the cavern.
At first she thought it was a giant statue of a form similar to a human.
But it was far too large to call it human.
A black armor-like substance covered its entire body, and a helmet completely covered its face.
Behind the statue, a structure that looked like a broken horn extended out.
Lesia took one more step toward the statue in the center of the cavern.
At that moment, the statue raised its head.
A red light flashed between the eyes of the helmet covering its face.
The red eyes and Lesia's golden eyes met.
The instant those eyes met, Lesia's body froze.
It was only a fleeting moment, but her body had locked up regardless of her will.
"...You."
Lesia was flustered by this phenomenon she was experiencing for the first time, but she managed to get her voice out.
Lesia furrowed her brow.
"What the hell are you?"
The giant being looked at Lesia, its red eyes glowing.
As if confirming an item it had lost a long time ago.
"Not yet."
Lesia's expression twisted.
"What?"
"It seems you are not complete."
A voice that resonated through the entire cavern.
The words that voice produced were strangely grating.
It felt as though it was resonating through the cavern and through her own body as well.
"What kind of nonsense is that."
Lesia, angry at the strange sensation she kept feeling, drew up her mana.
The entire cavern trembled and cracks ran through the floor.
Her silver hair whipped in the storm of mana.
Lesia hurled the mana gathered in her hand at that being.
Kwang!
It was enough power that an ordinary human—no, an ordinary living creature—would have been reduced to dust on the spot.
"Cocky bastard. Just die."
Lesia's mana scored a direct hit on the giant being and completely demolished everything around it.
The cavern shattered and dust grew thick.
Lesia smiled.
"Nothing spec—"
The dust cleared.
The giant being was standing there just as before.
Without a single wound.
Lesia's smile vanished.
"......?"
Peok!
Before Lesia could even react, the giant being slammed its fist hard into Lesia's stomach.
"Keu...eu..euk"
Lesia tried to attack that being while enduring the pain, but before she could even raise her mana, the giant being neutralized that attack.
And another impact drove into Lesia's stomach.
Lesia's body went flying and smashed into the wall.
Kugung!
Lesia couldn't breathe.
"Keheok...!"
Lesia wore an expression of incomprehension for the first time.
She had been hit. For real.
Fear flashed through Lesia's eyes for the first time.
"You....... What the hell are you...!"
"You still do not know?"
"What?"
"We are your masters."
The Ancient Ruin was in fact the dwelling of the gods.
The dwelling of the gods who created the world, ruled it for a time, then handed the world over to their creations and departed.
The gods had left behind one Ancient Ruin in preparation for when the world might be destroyed, and the giant being remaining in that ruin was the Apostle of God who had inherited the gods' will.
"Has too much time passed. The lizard I created to watch the house is baring its fangs at its master."
Lesia clenched her teeth and stood up.
Lesia's golden eyes split vertically.
"You...! You worthless hunk of rock, how dare you...!"
Enraged by the Apostle's words, Lesia Polymorphed into her true form.
Dragon mana exploded as horns grew and wings sprouted.
Her silver hair vanished and black scales covered her entire body.
A dragon dozens of meters in size filled the cavern.
『I'll kill you.』
Twisting the laws of the world, the dragon manifested.
The air trembled.
An ordinary living creature would have lost consciousness from that voice alone.
The Apostle of God looked at the dragon and slightly raised just one hand.
Lesia opened her mouth.
An enormous amount of mana gathered.
This time it was far stronger than what had punched through the cliff earlier.
A dragon's strongest and final attack.
Dragon Breath.
Lesia fired the Breath with the mana she had gathered to her limit.
Kwaaaaaaa—!!
Half the cavern evaporated, and the entire ruin shook.
Lesia gasped for breath.
'There's no way it can survive this.'
That moment.
A single hand burst out from the middle of the Breath and seized Lesia's neck.
『Wha—』
The dragon's enormous body was lifted.
The dozens-of-meters-long Lesia was held in one hand.
And she was slammed straight into the floor.
Kwang!
『Gkeuk—』
Lesia's vision went pure white.
Again.
Kwang!
Scales cracked.
Again.
Kwang!
She couldn't breathe.
"Looks like I'll have to teach you again who your master is."
『Don't talk bullshit! Who the hell is whose master!』
"Hmph! Lower lifeforms sure talk a lot. I'll make you into a form more suited for submission."
Before the Apostle's words were finished, Lesia swung her claws, but they were lightly caught in the Apostle's hand.
Even when she applied force, they wouldn't move.
Along with that, the movement of her mana also stopped.
『Let go!』
The Apostle of God grabbed her thrashing wings and tore them right off.
『Kkeuaaaaagh!』
For a moment Lesia's mind went blank.
The pain was so great she couldn't think or respond at all.
"Now! Transform!"
The Apostle of God, still gripping Lesia's neck, poured Divine Power into her.
『What... what...? This can't be......』
The dragon's form grew smaller and smaller, changing into a human appearance.
She became even smaller than the form Lesia had Polymorphed into before.
Long silver hair.
A slender build, thin arms and legs.
Heavy breasts.
Heavy...?
"What... what is this!"
A thin, high voice came out.
Instead of the handsome young man Lesia herself had imagined, she had transformed into the appearance of a pretty, delicate girl.
A perfect female body.
"It suits you. Now I'll teach you submission."
Though all her injuries had healed as she changed into human form, Lesia couldn't even think of resisting from the overwhelming pain she had felt just moments ago.
"What... what are you trying to do?! You think I'll just take this lying down?"
The Apostle of God wordlessly punched her in the stomach.
"Kyaang!"
Before she even had time to feel embarrassed at the frail scream that burst out, the Apostle of God continued swinging his fists.
Peok! Peok!
As she clutched her stomach and froze from the enormous pain, this time he slapped her cheek.
Jjak! Jjaak!
"Ack! Ah... it hurts..."
The Apostle of God deliberately regulated his strength as he hit her.
Lesia, who didn't even have the presence of mind to distinguish that, welled up with tears from the onslaught of pain.
"St.. stop! Please!"
"Still holding onto your pride? You haven't come to your senses."
At the Apostle of God's words, Lesia quickly pulled herself together and spoke.
"Master-nim! It hurts! Please stop!"
The pride of being the strongest dragon was gone.
She was merely struggling to escape the pain.
"You're asking me a favor in that posture?"
Feeling hope at the Apostle's words, Lesia dropped to her knees right then and there.
Then she bent the waist she had been holding straight, and neatly placed both hands on the floor.
She couldn't tell if her fingertips were trembling from tension or from pain.
As if laying down the last remaining shred of her pride, she slowly lowered her head.
"Master-nim. This slave bitch didn't know her place. Please forgive me."
Silver hair spilled over her shoulders and touched the floor.
She pressed her forehead to the ground and bowed her body deeply.
Her two black horns touched the ground along with it.
It was unbearably humiliating, but she couldn't let it show.
"Now you've realized your place. But it's still not enough."
"Yes? What..."
The Apostle grabbed the horn of Lesia, who was trembling and performing dogeza, and lifted her straight into the air.
Pain registered as the weight of her entire body concentrated on the horn.
"Aaaagh!"
"Hmm. Noisy, but it sounds nice."
The Apostle grabbed Lesia's dress with his other hand and tore it right off.
"Kyaak! What..!?"
"Your breasts are decently large, and your waist is slim. A truly ideal female body."
The Apostle of God had remained in the world with the mission of cooperating with the creations to prevent the world's destruction.
The Apostle had to prevent the world's destruction, and even if destruction drew near, he had to make the creations prosper.
In order to make the creations prosper, the gods had established one method.
Namely, sex.
He couldn't keep using Divine Power to create more in order to increase the number of creations.
The creations had to be able to increase their numbers on their own.
And the one at the pinnacle of that method was none other than the Apostle of God.
The Apostle of God began to gently caress the pussy flesh of Lesia, who had her mouth tightly shut.
"You're wet even though I haven't done anything? You've just become an adult, is that the kind of taste you have?"
To stimulate Lesia, the Apostle's speech grew increasingly casual.
"Wh.. what are you doing! Why are you touching there. Take your hand off!"
"This fucking bitch. I'll have to teach you how to serve your master."
The Apostle's cock was already standing stiffly.
A dick of tremendous size was throbbing.
"Ah.. no! No, you can't!"
Though Lesia had no experience, she could tell what would happen if that vicious thing entered her pussy.
The Apostle took his enormous cock and began rubbing it against Lesia's pussy.
The love juices coming from the enormous glans and the love juices coming from Lesia's pussy began to mix together.
With his other hand he was fondling her breasts and toying with her nipples.
"Eu..eung♡ Noooo... don't do iiiit..."
Lesia, whose body was growing hotter and hotter, wasn't even aware of what kind of sounds she was making.
"This bitch has talent."
The Apostle aligned his cock with the entrance of her pussy and immediately shoved it in.
"!!!!!!!"
The Apostle paused briefly when he felt the hymen catch in the middle.
Even so, the pain was so great that Lesia couldn't even make a sound.
"FUUUUCK!! It's not over yet!"
Lesia, who could only hold her mouth open without making a sound from the pain of her first penetration, tried somehow to stop the Apostle, but she was already subdued with her entire body being held up, so she couldn't resist at all.
The Apostle immediately broke through the hymen and shoved his cock in all the way.
"Kyaaaaagh! Ah... it hurts..!"
The Apostle's enormous cock dug in all the way below Lesia's navel.
A tremendous pain was felt in that instant, but Lesia gradually began to feel pleasure more than pain.
"Hwaaaang♡ Hiik♡ Heekheek♡"
Lesia drooled with her tongue hanging out.
Even as she was being pounded in a lifted pounding position with her entire body held up, her legs kept trembling hudeulhudeul.
"It.. it's too biiig♡ You can't♡ Please pull it ouuut♡"
"Get a hold of yourself. From now on is the real thing. I'll show you what kind of master I am!"
The Apostle grabbed her waist with both hands and lifted her up and down, thrusting his cock in.
Puuuk!
