Dragon Genesis: I Can Create Dragons - Chapter 480

Chapter 480: The results were clear.
“Two coming from above!”

Cirri warned, and with a determined look on his face, Kael took out his sword as he stood on top of the wind foothold Cirri created.

“KKKKRRRIIIIEEEEKKKKK!!”

The enemy’s beasts screeched as they all rushed toward him, their eyes shining with rage and power.

Kael remained calm. With blood dripping from his arm, he let his Mana move into his sword. The blade shook and then began to shine.

His Sword Aura was activated—but then—

Crack

When the enemies were barely a few meters away from him, his sword shattered into pieces.

“…what?”

Kael’s expression changed. Without wasting time, he jumped back, trying to maintain distance but—

“RROOOOAAAAAAAARRRR!!”

Another beast behind him roared.

“Father! Down!”

Cirri, knowing her father’s situation, quickly told him where to move, and without thinking, Kael let gravity do its thing and allowed his body to fall.

At the same time, he opened the Sanctuary and took out another sword, throwing the hilt of the previous one away.

He had already seen that his sword had begun to crack in his battle against Aurelia. The Sky Serpent General had a superior technique, not to mention the quality of her weapon was far better than his. Even if he was strong, his weapon couldn’t hold out.

This was the reason he had prepared three extra swords just for himself.

With a new sword in his hand, Kael once again let his Mana flow. The sword’s blade shined with a stable silver light.

And just then—

The enemies, who were following him, arrived.

Kael tilted his head just enough to dodge a spear thrust. Then he moved his Aura-charged sword. With a slash, it cut through the enemy rider’s spear and his waist.

Yes, just like that—the man fell in two pieces.

And Kael didn’t care—he stared at the other enemies as he stepped on another wind step and moved.

The enemy soldiers shouted orders, their voices echoing through the clouds. Massive winged beasts twisted and roared, their wings slicing the air. Lightning crackled around some of them, flames around others. The entire sky looked alive, painted in motion and chaos.

And right in the center of it all—was Kael.

He wasn’t ‘flying’.

He didn’t even have wings.

But the way he moved…

It made even the winged creatures, who were known for ruling the sky, look slow.

“Keep formation! Surround him from all sides!”

“Stay high! Don’t let him climb above us!”

The captains shouted, but none of it mattered.

Cirri now controlled the entire region. The floating platforms she made were all around this place, and Kael—

He planned to use them all.

He kicked off one, then another, then another, and in a blur, he shot forward, spun midair, and vanished within the dense mist.

“Where did he—”

Before the soldier could finish his sentence—

“KKRRRIEEEKKKK!!!!”

His beast screamed as Kael’s sword tore through its chest.

A flash of light—

A spray of blood and—

“AA—AAAAHHHHHHH!!!!”

The man fell screaming through the clouds before disappearing into the mist below.

“THERE! BELOW—WAIT, NO, HE’S—!”

Another soldier shouted, pointing at Kael, but—

It was too late.

Kael had already disappeared into the thick mist.

His body twisted again, his feet touching another invisible step of air, and he instantly shot upward.

His movements were too fast, too random—no one could predict them.

Each time he landed on one of Cirri’s wind platforms, he moved in a new direction. The pace at which he changed directions was something no flying beast could compare to.

He wasn’t flying.

He was… rebounding.

Like a highly bouncing ball changing direction the moment it collided with a wall, ceiling, or floor, every kick, every single step changed his momentum completely.

To the soldiers watching—it felt like they were trapped in a storm of blades.

A storm they couldn’t escape from.

“W-What is he doing!?”

“How can a human move like that!? How can ANYONE move like that!?”

“How is he doing that!?”

“Impossible!!”

“He doesn’t even have wings! How is he flying!? What artifact is this!?”

“Stay together! Stay togeth—!”

CLANG

SHHHHK

Once again, Kael moved through the mist, slashing another rider’s body in half, not even giving him the time to scream.

Then, he instantly spun sideways, kicking off another wind platform Cirri made beside him. In the same second, he appeared above another soldier, slicing through both the man and his beast in one clean motion.

FWOOOSH

Blood sprayed in wide arcs, caught by the wind.

And Kael didn’t stop.

He didn’t even slow down.

One moment he was above the soldiers, the next he was below them, and before they could react, he was beside them—his sword leaving silver trails of light across the sky.

The mist Cirri created made it even more difficult for the soldiers to react to his movements. They could only helplessly swing their weapons and cast magic, but most of the time, they were only hitting air.

Their attacks moved through empty space or even reached their allies, since Kael had long changed his direction.

“He’s to the left!”

“No, above!”

“Behind you!—”

SHHHKK

The soldier didn’t finish his sentence as his throat opened in a fine red line. His beast shrieked in rage and horror as he fell from the sky.

“Father, on your right!”

Cirri’s voice echoed faintly through the wind. Unlike Kael and the others, even in the mist-covered sky, the Sky Dragon could see clearly, giving Kael an advantage.

The Hero’s body reacted instantly. He spun midair, stepping on a wind platform that appeared below his foot, and shot diagonally upward. His sword slashed in a circular arc, cutting through two beasts that he couldn’t even see clearly at once.

One after another, the soldiers fell like flies. Every time Kael moved, lives were lost. The man who once hesitated to kill even normal wild beasts had now taken tens of lives.

Each of his strikes left a toll on his heart and mind, but… at the same time…

It was making him… indifferent to it all.

Kael… he was getting used to this feeling of having control over others’ lives—and the worst part…?

He hadn’t even realized it.

He just… continued fighting.

Each invisible platform Cirri created carried him in another direction, letting him glide, fall, turn, and leap again—all within seconds.

He was so fast that the soldiers’ eyes couldn’t even keep up; they were swinging blindly, guessing where he’d appear next.

“Is he teleporting!?”

“No—No, he’s stepping on something! But what!?”

“Is it magic!? But he isn’t casting magic! How can he cast it so quickly while fighting!?”

“Then what is it!?”

“Could it be…? That second Drago—!”

Slash

Before the man could complete his sentence, he lost his head.

The rest of the soldiers flinched. To them, the dense mist around them and the enemy that moved through it felt no different than the incarnation of death itself.

They…

They couldn’t understand how they were supposed to fight.

The beasts roared, the soldiers screamed, and yet Kael… he continued to move as he stared at the enemies with cold calm.

SHHHHK

Another beast lost its wing.

CLANG

Another rider fell.

Bodies and feathers rained from above, falling like black snow.

The remaining soldiers tried to retreat, shouting in panic.

“Fall back! Fall back!”

But Kael was already there—waiting for them before they could even move.

He stepped forward—air burst beneath his feet—and he vanished.

A second later, ten meters behind them, he reappeared, sword swinging in a wide, clean arc.

SWOOSH

A line of light cut across the sky—three beasts and their riders fell in perfect silence before their bodies tore apart in midair.

Further away, the soldiers watched in disbelief as their comrades’ and their beasts’ bodies continued to fall to the ground, blood splattering everywhere as they collided with the earth.

These…

These were the men of the Sky Kingdom—men trained to fight in the sky since childhood!

To think…

To think these people were being cut down by a single man… that too in an aerial battle, one they prided themselves on as their specialty.

It…

It was hard to believe.

“How… how is he moving like that…?”

“Is this… even possible…?”

“Could it be an… illusion?”

They asked, their disbelief clear in their voices.

To them, it seemed like Kael was everywhere. Every second, another beast screamed, another soldier fell.

Left.

Right.

Up.

Down.

He darted across the sky faster than the eye could follow. His every movement was so precise that it felt… impossible.

The once-blue heavens were now red with blood.

Feathers fell like snow.

The wind carried the scent of death.

The soldiers still outnumbered Kael to the point where he couldn’t confront them directly, and with time, the soldiers too were getting used to his movements, and some of their attacks were connecting.

But even then—

The captains at a distance could see it—

The battle—

It was moving in the direction Kael wanted it to—something that none of the captains liked.

The results were clear—

This aerial battle…

It was conquered by a human who did not have wings.
