I Became the Dragon God of an Apocalypse Cult Chapter 13

Chapter 13

 

Choi Yuna was approaching the promised day with all the survivor camps in Gyeongju.

Using the cult she had taken over and subdued, she heavily promoted the promised day, and the rumours spread well enough that the number of survivors eager to observe the event significantly increased.

Most of these observers were either scouts sent by the survivor camps in Gyeongju to gather information on Yuna or the zombies or information brokers looking to sell the information to external cities or foreign nations.

Of course, the survivors whom Yuna had personally persuaded also waited on the rooftops of buildings with grim expressions, thinking only of Yuna’s promise as the promised day approached.

With different mindsets, some looked forward to or mocked Yuna’s declaration, and as the time promised by Yuna to the survivor camps approached, she slowly began to reveal herself.

“Is she really going to keep her promise? This is incredibly dangerous.”

“She’s suicidal. That’s what it is.”

The reactions of the people varied as they watched Yuna appear in the empty plains.

Those who lamented her decision to keep such a reckless promise were survivors who still cared about Yuna’s well-being.

From the high-rise rooftops, the sisters Lee Hyuna and Lee Sua watched Yuna with worried eyes as she revealed herself to keep her promise.

“Wow, Do Josoon, look at that. A suicide enthusiast has shown herself.”

“I liked her looks, though. What a shame.”

“Were you planning to eat her?”

“She’s young, but she’s got everything in the right place, hasn’t she?”

Some were impressed or lustful over Yuna’s mysterious appearance through their binoculars.

These were the ones who thought it unfortunate that Yuna kept her promise, making lewd comments and mocking her declaration as a rare spectacle.

“Is this really possible? Does she really have the power to overcome this crisis?”

Though few in number, some held a glimmer of hope, wondering if Yuna’s promise could really be fulfilled.

The fact that she displayed such confidence led them to vaguely believe that Yuna must have some secret weapon up her sleeve.

Jung Dong-gun, who had recently been gaining influence in Gyeongju, observed Yuna through binoculars from a rooftop, harbouring a slight sense of hope for her.

“I can feel their gazes. Perfect. There’s no need to go all out right from the start.”

Standing on the stage of proof, Yuna smiled gently, mumbling that things were going as planned.

What mattered most to her was proving Yuna’s power… or rather, proving the power of the god she served.

With so many spectators, this place seemed ideal for proving her god to all the survivors in Gyeongju.

Feeling the many gazes directed at her, Yuna slowly raised her hand toward the sky.

“Taunt Fire.”

The magic that activated in her hand was a fire spell.

The magic shot into the air like fireworks and burst with a bang, visible to everyone living in Gyeongju.

At the unexpected fireworks, not only the observers but also the survivors looked up at the sky.

Brightly shining sparks scattered in the sky, and the noise made every zombie in Gyeongju raise their heads.

“Grrroooaaaarrr!!”

“Grrrr! Grrrrraaahh!”

And the zombies that witnessed the flames began rushing towards the place where the fire was shot from without hesitation.

Those that couldn’t run started walking, and those that couldn’t walk crawled, forcing themselves toward the source of the fire.

Though zombies lacked rationality, they seemed maddened by the light and noise of the flames, running wild like never before.

It was natural for them to trample their fallen companions as they rushed, and it became common for them to crash into obstacles or fall, breaking their bodies.

“What’s happening?! What’s going on?!”

Survivors trembled with fear at the unexpected movement of the zombies…

“They’re heading toward where the fire was shot from?”

The survivors soon realized where the zombies were moving.

Instead of attacking the nearby survivor camps or even paying attention to nearby survivors, the zombies’ focus was solely on the direction from which the flames had been fired.

It was as if the command “Go toward the flames” had been forcibly imprinted into the minds of all the zombies in Gyeongju.

“Grrrrrr!”

“Raaahhh!”

Even the mutant zombies, who had regained a certain level of intelligence, were no different.

Leading their respective groups, the mutant zombies fiercely headed toward the source of the flames, their eyes filled with hatred, and their movements quickly revealed to the observing survivor camps that the flames had a special power.

These flames had the ability to lure even intelligent mutant zombies.

“If used well, isn’t this an extremely dangerous ability?”

“It seems to be a spell that draws the zombies’ attention. Luckily, it was activated outside the city, so the zombies inside the city are heading outwards.”

“That’s something to be envious of.”

If used correctly, it could be a dangerous spell capable of causing rival survivor camps to face zombie attacks.

For now, Yuna had activated the spell outside the city, causing the zombies inside the city to move outwards, but it could easily be seen as a weapon that could draw zombies into an otherwise safe city.

While the range of the spell was unknown, with all the zombies in the city heading toward Yuna’s location as if united, the range was likely significant.

“With this, it would be great if they all just perished together or ended in mutual destruction.”

“Do you want Choi Yuna to die?”

“Even if she survives, it would be nice if she suffered heavy losses. That way, we can take advantage of what she leaves behind.”

Those with ambition coveted Yuna’s power but recognized her danger and wished for mutual destruction with the zombies.

If they were to perish together, they would reap the benefits of the peace Yuna had established, and if both Yuna and the zombies suffered heavy losses, they aimed to profit from the aftermath.

It essentially meant that they hoped to swoop in for an easy gain, and even the strategists assisting the leaders nodded in agreement.

“There’s no way she can win against such a massive horde alone.”

“That’s right. Even awakened ones have their limits.”

The abilities she had shown so far were indeed impressive, but the horde of zombies gathering in one place was beyond imagination.

With all the zombies in the city of Gyeongju gathered, their number exceeded ten thousand.

To exaggerate a bit, it could be said that a hundred thousand-strong army had assembled, and people would believe it.

That’s how massive the horde was, with zombies packed so tightly that they looked like a sea of dots or ants.

And the zombies were moving as a unified swarm toward Yuna’s location.

“Did our city always have this many zombies?”

“If that swarm heads back toward our city again…” The overwhelming numbers left the weaker survivors, those without a camp, in despair.

They were already risking their lives every day just to survive, and to see so many zombies still remaining.

For now, they were moving outside the city, but if those zombies turned back after this event was over… They quickly realized that they wouldn’t be able to handle those numbers.

“No, I believe! I believe in her! After doing all that, she must have some kind of backup plan!”

But at the same time, there were those who placed their hopes on Yuna, burning with optimism.

Of course, they despaired at the sight of that massive zombie swarm and clung to the hope like grabbing at a fraying rope, but they were more desperate than anyone for Yuna’s victory.

If Yuna lost here, they would be the first to be hunted by the zombies.

Hoping for a grand performance that could give them hope… they observed Yuna’s every move.

“Now, the time of the god is approaching. Please, show these people your valour.”

[…Very well.]

And Yuna declared that the time of the god was near.

Using all her remaining magical power as a sacrifice, she intended to summon the great dragon, who had been lying dormant within the shrine, to this place.

She set up a summoning magic circle in the sky so that all survivors in Gyeongju could witness the dragon’s might.

And from that summoning magic circle…

“Huh?”

A massive light descended.

A powerful flash struck the eyes of the survivors watching this scene.

The intense light made the survivors reflexively close their eyes or lower their heads, and at the same time, a tremendous roar echoed throughout the entire city.

The deafening noise, as if to tear apart their eardrums, left the survivors disoriented.

The awakened ones, who had gained strength from fighting zombies, quickly regained their senses and assessed the situation…

“This is insane!”

Seeing the scene before them, they cursed out loud.

The massive light emitted from the magic circle in the sky slammed into the approaching zombie swarm, like a hammer striking down, leaving nothing in its wake.

The overwhelming scene and spectacle made the awakened ones doubt their eyes and binoculars.

It was understandable, as the flash had instantly obliterated the zombie swarm advancing toward Yuna, leaving a giant crater where they once stood.

“No, it’s not over yet.”

“Yeah, she just used a finisher from the start.”

Of course, not all the zombies were wiped out, only a portion of them. They knew better than to be shocked by that alone.

They continued to doubt that an awakened one could defeat such overwhelming numbers alone.

Otherwise, all their previous calculations would be thrown off.

“What is that?”

But for the survivors observing the direction from which the flash came, all they could do was gape in awe.

Through the magic circle in the sky, a stream of lights continued to fall.

A meteor shower in the pitch-black night sky, devoid of a single cloud.

However, the survivors quickly realized that it wasn’t a meteor but the same flash that had previously descended.

“What is this!?”

“What is that sound!?”

“Ahhh! The end of the world is upon us!”

The flash descending from the sky… No, the meteors grew larger as they neared the ground, emitting a blinding light, continuously striking down the areas where the zombies were gathered.

With each impact on the ground, a massive explosion rocked the entire city of Gyeongju, delivering a deafening noise that paralyzed the ears of the survivors.

The explosive sounds and earthquake-like tremors drew the attention of even those who had been quietly hiding in their shelters or camps, uninterested in the event.

“Wizard! Analyze that immediately!”

“Y-Yes!”

Of course, those who had already taken an interest in the event began deploying experts from their camps to analyze the impact.

If things had stopped at this point, they might have judged that Yuna had a trump card, allowing her to make such bold declarations to the survivor camps and remaining survivors.

They would have thought that she could make such confident claims because she had such a secret weapon.

However, what came next left the survivor camps, who had mocked Yuna, unable to laugh.

“What is that?”

“What, what is that!?”

“Is that thing going to fall on us!?”

The survivors finally saw the giant magic circle that had been hidden behind the flash.

The magic circle that enveloped the sky slowly took shape, and once it did, it began to summon dark clouds in the previously clear night sky.

Survivors feared that the flash that had emerged from the magic circle might now turn toward them.

The survivor camps with wizards immediately ordered them to analyze the magic circle…

“Haha… Hahahahaha!”

“W-What is this!?”

“It’s like there’s a sun right before our eyes! Just looking at it is blinding! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts so much! Hahahahahahahaha!”

“Get a hold of yourself! Hey!?”

The immense magical energy emanating from the magic circle overwhelmed the wizards, making them refuse to analyze it.

It had only been a few months since they had awakened as wizards.

The magical power and spells from the giant magic circle were too much for them, making it impossible to resist or even think clearly.

“Hahahahaha! The doomsday cult was right; the end is truly here! There’s no way we can resist this! We’re all doomed!”

“You’ve gone mad, haven’t you!?”

The wizards, who had boasted and acted superior to other awakened ones in the camp, stopped analyzing the magic circle and loudly declared that resisting was pointless.

The sudden mad laughter and nonsense from the wizards left the camp leaders baffled, and they tried to forcibly silence them.

However, the words of the wizards echoed not only in the leaders’ minds but also in the minds of the awakened ones in the camps.

To them, wizards were the most powerful weapon in the battlefield, and they couldn’t simply ignore the declarations of such a weapon.

“This is insane.”

And it didn’t take long to understand why the wizards had reacted this way.

The magic circle seemed to reach its critical point, releasing a thunderous sound across the entire city, like the rumbling of thunder.

Lightning crackled through the air, and the magic circle radiated intense light.

The survivors feared that the flash that had struck the zombie horde earlier might now be coming for them.

“Huh?”

But the expected flash never came. Instead, something began descending through the magic circle like a comet.

A massive object traced an arc as it descended toward the ground.

The object slowly spread its wings, gradually reducing its speed as it neared…

[As per the contract, I have arrived.]

With a tremendous noise, it landed lightly near Yuna.

And the survivors could clearly identify the nature of the massive object.

“A dragon?”

Yes, that object was none other than a gigantic dragon.
