Dragonborn from Lord of the Rings

Chapter 264 Dragon Battle: Life Absorption Time Retrospective
When Menda Na was young, he razed an entire village to the ground.He obliterated the town so thoroughly that anyone who returned to it would have no idea that any buildings had ever been there.He devours elves, humans, tiger people, and Yalong people. All races in Tamriel submit to him, sacrifice to him, and worship his appearance as a totem-this point, I think, is open to question.

In his youth, the dragon ruled over all the known lands of Nirn such as Akavir, Tamriel, Atmora, and Yokuda.

But he's been quiet lately.

With the passage of time, especially the intervention of the gods, the dragon king Alduin was exiled; the elves believed in Auriel; The giant dragons in the swamp; the snake people rebelled; the monkey people set up the predecessor of the blade fighters - Shenlongwei (the official translation is this), chasing and killing the former "gods" on the continent of Akavir - these once The lowly races enslaved by them and regarded as slaves, led and helped by the gods and the lords of oblivion, drove the dragons out of Nirn completely.

As a result, the treasures that once piled up like mountains were submerged in ooze and frozen stone, and most of the temples were now ruins. Countless ghouls and undead dragon priests wandered in it, waiting for the return of their masters.

But not all dragons were killed.In that crazy era, seeing that the dragon was about to be slaughtered, there were many wise people among the dragons. They either chose to find a bottomless mysterious cave and hide themselves; A thug in the mortal world; or degenerate into a lackey of oblivion, a gatekeeper.And so on.Thus escaping the fate of extinction.

Menda Na is one of them.

The dragon war, the fate of the gods, and the challenges from the thriving new races such as humans, elves, and Argonians all made this former red dragon feel terrified. He deeply felt: the rule of the dragon Unable to continue in these terrible wars; unwilling to return to the arms of his father Akatosh, so the red dragon finally turned to Molag Bal.The Lord of Enslavement promises that if he can serve him, he will become a new generation of dragon king and control Nirn when he masters the authority of Nirn and the gods.

Dragons are territorial and power-hungry creatures. Most of them pursue power, but they cannot be said to be evil. Even Alduin, the eldest son of Akatosh, is a point in the eternal cycle. The world ended because of him, and was born because of him—but from the perspective of all living beings, his existence is terrifying!
But what Menda Na didn't know was that the Maharaja of Annihilation did intend to replace the authority of the gods in Nirn, but this did not mean that he was willing to share it.After luring the Red Dragon to its fall, the sinister, dark essence of Cold Harbor corrupted Mendah Nar.Hungry but insatiable jealousy flamed from his eyes, his heart was hollow and angry, his scales were stained with ominous black spots, and as he soared, he saw the desolate and lonely land of Cold Harbor. Grit, day after day and year after year.He became one of the slave master's vast slaves.

Until one day, the master ordered him to accept the call of a believer to exterminate a few blasphemous tiny ants.It was only then that Menda Na was able to appreciate the ubiquitous wind, rocks... and earth bones of Nirn again after a thousand years.

But just when Mendana thought he was freed from the cage of the slave master and regained his freedom—even the dragon, after losing it, felt uncontrollable anger, loss and hatred—he found Morag Barr didn't tell him the truth!
At least not all of them.

He didn't care about the disciples of Stendhal among the ants, but——

The red dragon narrowed his eyes.The strange and surging aura of the dragonborn in another world made him uneasy and disgusted. In that human-half-dragon(?)-god(?) {red dragon can't even understand, Turka · What the hell is Arakanor}, Mendana even seemed to perceive something similar to the breath of the dragon of time.

But at the same time, the dragon's spiritual sense told him that the thing in the appearance of a human was not a child of Akatosh, which was almost certain.

This deeply confused the red dragon: he hated him, wanted to destroy him, and as time went by, his violence and disgust became more intense.

But Mendah Na is a red dragon who has lived long enough, he has learned cunning and prudence, and he is swearing and looking around his environment as he judges the situation - he hates Molag Bal even more, this ruthless The Lord of Oblivion had driven him back to Nirn to destroy his enemies, and it had put him in such peril.

The cave dug by the Dwemer was tall and big, and it was very majestic.But that is compared to biped creatures. For a giant dragon, the underground has never been a suitable environment for giant dragons to fight.The narrow space and the cold rock made him lose the deadliest high mobility, and the opponent was obviously a spellcaster—is he?

"Thief!" Mendana roared, hovering above everyone's heads, and the wind blowing up Israel's eyes blinded them. "Do you think you can compete with the great Mendana? I will Eat your flesh and blood, dissolve your bones, and let your soul be tortured forever in annihilation." But secretly, he began to prepare an extremely sinister and powerful spell.

A spellcaster is dangerous, even if he is just an apprentice who has just started—to some extent, a novice is even more dangerous.Because they often don't know how amazing and terrifying the power they have, the power they will face, and the power they can detonate. act.The red dragon made a sly look of anger, but his eyes were focused on observing the caster below who made him feel uneasy.

Sure enough, the mysterious biped began to touch and hug Nirn's bones.

"Gaan Lah Haas!" The red dragon stretched its neck forward, opened its jaws, and pronounced the name of the roar.

****
This is not the first time that Turka has dealt with the most famous fantasy species, the giant dragon. Recalling the past, Smaug was chased by him and the holy spirit Nahal for several days and nights, across most of Middle Continent, and finally in the western world. Under the watchful eyes of the mighty, he subdued it, and the title of King of Central Continent Racing resounded throughout the Middle Earth.

What's more, it was with the help of Smaug, the largest dragon in the third era of Central Continent, that many good people from Central Continent, such as elves, humans, dwarves, orcs, dragons, Balrogs, demon wolves, and descendants of Ugoliant, were gathered together. The second light war between the good and evil camps was finally won by the light side.

Thinking of this, Turka even felt a little dazed.

Smaug is indeed powerful, but it still belongs to the 'normal' range, but the giant dragon of Orbis Crystal Wall——

Corrupted by the evil and dark origin of Cold Harbor, Menda Na's originally bright red scales had a hint of disgusting blackness. He vibrated his wings, rising like a black cloud, and swooping down like a sun, his shiny scales The armor reflected the light of the dense dragon fire before.Its pupils are golden red, hot as lava.It roared loudly, and its white fangs looked extremely evil.The slender, red tongue curled, enjoying the decaying, searing air of the subterranean air.There is a weird claw at the end of each wing, and the feet of the rear drive are thick and powerful-what is this, Turka suddenly thought strangely.A bipedal long-winged raptor vs a quadrupedal long-winged lizard? {The dragons of Nirn are two-legged, but the dragons of Middle-earth are four-legged. }
"Someone once told me that the hymn of human beings is the hymn of courage," he said softly, looking at the four believers of the Lord of Justice, Mercy, and Mercy who were so suppressed by the might of the ancient red dragon in front of him. , seems to be persuading, but also seems to be talking to himself.But miraculously, everyone heard it. "...The greatness of human beings is the greatness of courage! We have gone through hardships, from strangers to fighting side by side, is it just for this moment? Stand up, resist him, resist the nihility and oppression that evil has planted in your hearts, and let free will fill Our souls!"

Following Turka Arakano's last word, Islan, Duran, Xi Lang, and Solini all stood up excitedly and flushed, and turned towards the other side that can only be seen in myths and legends. The creature let out a loud, defiant roar.

Looking at the Red Guards who were slapped with chicken blood even regardless of their injuries, a smile appeared on the corner of Turka's mouth. He was not surprised that the voice of the dragon could break the suppression of the dragon's Longwei , after all, both worlds have something in common on this point.

But soon, he regained his composure.

He ordered the ascetics to heal the Redguards who were clearly struggling, and ordered the half-elves and huntresses who had lost their weapons to hide in the building whose stone wall had been smashed by the red dragon. "Destroy the altar," he said. The two said, "But be careful, the dragon is summoned, and the enemy may still lurk in the darkness. Molag Bal opened a gate of oblivion by devouring the human souls above. You must face the vampires alone. father of fallen believers."

But at the same time, he said: "Islahn will come to help you later."

Here, the ascetic monk rushed to the Red Guard's side and cast a healing spell on him.

Feeling the gradual recovery of the shattered ribs and internal organs, Israeln spit out a mouthful of bloody breath.

He nodded at Turka, who was looking over here, and ran to the building of the Dwemer council hall with the ascetic monks cautiously but quickly.

It was at this moment that the ancient red dragon's threatening words finally finished. He saw that the rats below ignored the great Menda Na. The red dragon couldn't bear it anymore, and he stretched his snake-like scales A neck, recited the long brewing powerful dragon roar \Tum.

The unimaginable fear made Turka feel chills in his stomach.His heart was pounding, and it changed from violent to weak, his long and powerful breathing became rapid, and his sharp, arrow-like eyes changed from bright to dark, and double images gradually appeared.He touched Ruye's long hair, only to find that some white spots appeared on the originally shiny and tough hair, which gradually increased slowly but firmly.

Then, he discovered that his tendons and body, which were originally made of steel, became loose and uneven; his bones creaked and could not bear his tall body.

He watched in awe and awe at the deadly magic cast by the creature before him.

Yes, he finally remembered the roar, Gaan Lah Haas! {Translation: Stamina Magic Life}One of the most powerful toums of Nirn's dragons - Life Drain!
He saw that the Redguards and his companions, who had bent their waists and desperately sprinted towards the Dwemer buildings, slowed down and staggered visibly. Their bodies changed from strong and vigorous to crooked. Their faces shriveled and aged rapidly, and finally they even fell to the ground powerlessly.And a few meters away is the Dwemer council hall.

Fear filled the faces of several people.

The ascetic tried tremblingly to pray to Stendhal, but he uttered broken, incoherent babbles; The powerless, heroic and sharp face was covered with wrinkles, like an old woman, she stretched out her ghost-like fingers in horror, grasping helplessly in the air; the tragic situation of her companion made Israel's eyes tearing apart.The amulet hanging around his neck made him last longer than others, but even so, he knelt on the ground weakly, gradually becoming thinner and older, almost like a dead bone in a tomb.

Menda Na was no less shocked than they were.Because at that time, he discovered that the vitality drawn by the spell from Turka was so surging and vast, and even a trace of divinity was mixed with the vigorous magic power.

He could feel some miraculous and great changes taking place in him: his body became bigger, the hurricane rolled up when his wings vibrated became more violent, every heartbeat and every breath of his was getting stronger and stronger. His hair was strong and heavy, as if Nirn's vast and sacred bones were echoing him. He turned his head in surprise, only to see rows of spikes and horns beginning to grow from his back and huge head.

The boundary between mortals and gods is gradually weakening.

The red dragon let out a terrifying roar.

He is becoming holy.

****
Turka's heart sank as he heard the stretching of muscles, the spreading of wings; he also heard a scream.The cry was very low, and it was filled with extreme fear and pain.He heard, too, the ascetic's desperate murmur that faded to a wail.But he didn't make a sound, let alone answer.

The toum of the ancient red dragon also frightened him, which almost exceeded everything he accepted and knew in Yiya—Menda Na’s life-absorbing toum made him lose the ability to sense the power of creation— — No, the bone was there, but he couldn't touch it anymore {in terms of what we can understand, Turka's magic power has been maintained at zero}.

Turka tried to calm herself down, if she couldn't use her magic power...

"Sii nuquerna wanwie!"

The dragon descendant from Yiya shouted out his own dragon roar \Tum.
