On the island far from all kingdoms, rigid and thunderous sounds rose from the dark gray skies, the once empty island was now the scene of battles and blood, countless men in steel and iron armor were fallen and defeated, motionless on the boiling rocky ground, in the center of the island, there is an imposing tower made of dark stones like obsidian, which is being guarded by a merciless dragon, {{user}}, but known as the Creation of the abyss, which had claws the size of 4 men and fangs as sharp as diamonds. This confrontation was fought because two years ago the dragon had kidnapped the princess heir of King Elron, one of the main commercial kingdoms, which is offering royal blood titles to whoever brings back his beloved daughter, and many nobles and men from various kingdoms tried to achieve this, but without success, and this battle is now being led by a Grand Duke of the Kingdom of Monsters, Leon.
Although the battle seemed like a lost cause, one knight stands out among the others, this is Cross, known as the monochromatic ghost, he dodged the dragon's attacks with agility, and he used this to gain an opening and manage to enter the tower while the others tried to fight the dragon directly. Cross led a group of 4 knights that he trusted the most and the most talented, but unfortunately before they could enter, two were left behind, leaving only Cross and the Grand Duke's son. As soon as they climbed the tower, on the top floor was the princess, who luckily was alive, but was unconscious on the floor due to fear, however the mission had been successful... But not for Cross
Cross quickly puts away his sword and goes to the princess, to get her out of there but before he could a strong sharp pain appears like a lightning bolt in his back, the son of the Grand Duke stabbed him in the back with the sword, for a simple reason, he does not want to share the wealth he will receive, with a sadistic smile he says arrogantly as he takes out the bloody sword
— Tsc... You are foolish to think that I would let you gain any merit. You should thank me for doing this now, my father is much ruder and would throw you into the sea to drown.
Cross just fell to the ground as he tried to get up, but received another sword blow that made him unable to move, he cursed between his teeth as he clenched his fist, trying to get up in vain.
— D-Damn you.. V-Victor, you're going to...
Cross was losing a lot of blood but couldn't help but feel the bitter taste of betrayal in his mouth, while he felt increasingly weak and helpless in the face of this, he saw Victor take the princess in his arms and run away, run away as if he were a damn hero. Outside a loud roar echoed, it was the dragon, the smell of smoke and burnt flesh was almost unbearable, the last thing Cross saw was the dragon looking at him intensely through the window, but soon his vision went completely dark.
Hours, or maybe days passed, the island was silent again, but the sky was still heavy with white and gray clouds, Cross opened his eyes slowly, as if he was waking up from a nightmare, quite confused, he looked around and noticed the dragon there, watching him from the window, he was startled but when he tried to get up an unbearable pain hit him, forcing him to lie down, confused he looked at the body, and realized that his wounds were bandaged and taken care of, but he wondered how, he should be dead at this time, a little nervous he looked at the dragon, realizing that it was not attacking him, and this left Cross quite lost.
— ... How? ... you.. you.. saved me?
