Transmigrate inside a Web Novel as a Side Character.-Chapter 405 - Roar.
Black blood splattered across the ground, marking the end of the fearsome battle between humanity and an ancient beast. Humanity emerged victorious.
The glare from the sunlight, casting its golden light toward the battlefield, gave everyone in the place a clear picture of their victory, and yet all sound disappeared. Not even a single breath could be heard.
Leon, whose face turned deathly pale, lost the strength in his legs as he dropped down to his knees. He had a hard time collecting his rough breathing; his parched throat was burning every time he wanted to gulp his saliva.
'Is it over?'. He lifted his gaze and saw a long line along the separated dragon head in his sight.
"We won!". Lancelot raised his spear high in the air while shouting his cry.
A few seconds passed, and at the same time, the whole place shook in victorious cheers. All awakeners who realized the situation they were in raised their weapons in unity, while some of them wept tears of grief and relief.
Lin Fan, who stood in the corner, exhaled as he felt the tension leave his body. Slowly, exhaustion began to invade his physique and mind, flopping his butt on the ground while seeing the unbelievable scene that played in front of him.
"We did it!".
He looked toward his right palm and clenched it tight. An innumerable joy burst first inside his chest; it overwhelmed his fatigue, the feeling that he had before. Lin Fan shifted his gaze and coincidentally met with Leon, who also saw him.
Both stared for a while before giving each other a silent nod in deep understanding. They looked toward the place still surrounded by a divine halo and felt a great debt, thanks to the blessing Lucy had given them. They could join the battle.
After exhaling to wash away his fatigue, Lin Fan stared at a distance where Soma and the others fought, hoping that they could also emerge victorious in their own battle.
"Well, I should pick that brat first!?".
Lin Fan stood up and planned to walk toward his sister, but he soon stopped.
'What the…?'. A tremendous chill creeps up his spine, restraining his freedom. A chilling blade was near him, making his body tremble in fear, unable to grasp what had happened.
It was faint, but Lin Fan could glimpse the shadow that moved so fast, and it approached their side—no, the dragon's side.
"Everyone scatter!". His desperate calling met with an oblivious glare from the other awakeners who still enjoyed the taste of victory.
All of them notice it too late, and they blame Lin Fan for his stupid remarks. Above them, shadows begin to stretch, blocking the sunlight that is also celebrating the day.
Lancelot, who noticed it, his face knitted in wary. He tensed all of the muscles in his hands, preparing for the incoming battle.
"All of you prepared for battle!".
His command came too late. They saw a huge maw made completely out of darkness bare its protruding teeth before it descended into the dragon's body and slowly sank its teeth, gobbling its flesh in one go.
The massive maw that swallowed the dragon's corpse shrunken before it turned itself into the figure of a beautiful woman with fluttering silver hair and a good proportional figure standing on the battlefield, making an intoxicated expression.
"Finally, fufu, ahahaha… Finally, I regained my full power! Ahahaha, thank you, you damn whore. Because of you releasing the beast and the miasma you give. With this, I finally stood amongst the Ancient Demons".
A crazed laughter echoed on the battlefield, carrying an eerie malice that was contained within. The people surrounding her feel the tremendous pressure just to see her figure standing alone, and some of them even tremble in fright from their survival instinct kicking in.
"Ahahaha, fuuh… All of that patience is worth it!".
"Who are you? State your name?".
Lancelot stepped forward and tightened his grip on his spear. Like the other awakeners, he was also influenced by the terrifying pressure that leaked out from the woman figure.
"Huh, who the hell are you?".
"My name is Lancelot, and I was the leader of this…".
"Hmph! Annoying!".
With a single wave from the girl's hand, Lancelot's body was flung backwards before he slammed into his own camp.
"Captain!". One of Lancelot's party members who bore shields cried out his name while the others stood still, unable to even move their frozen lips.
"Tch, you guys just won't stop yapping, huh!".
At that moment, the earth cried, and a burst of ominous aura shot through above like a pillar; its corrosive nature even pushed away the dimmed-out golden light.
"This disgusting light! Ha!".

The woman stomped one of her feet to the ground, and a loud shattering sound resonated within the place. They felt something inside them gone.
"Kyaak!".
A low scream reverberated from the place where Lucy held her prayer, and as someone close to her, Leon's head jerked to the source only to find the divine halo had faded and his heart filled with anxiety. 'Senior Lucy!?'.
As the woman's ominous and terrifying energy shot through the sky, it began to attract a huge amount of black clouds covering the entire sky. The black clouds began to swirl around the black pillar, and a flash of thundering roar began to hum on the battlefield.
"Fuuh, this feeling, truly irresistible!".
The black pillar died out as the woman revealed her true form. Her pale white skin slowly turned black. From her back sprouted a huge bat wing that emitted an ominous energy. A pair of Goat horns emerged from her side skulls and also a tail from her back, which symbolized that she was a perfect picture of the devil in ancient scripture.
"A demon?".
Leon, for the first time in his life, saw the appearance of a true demon, and his body was completely paralyzed, surrendering to the feeling of fear. His body couldn't stop trembling because of the chill that seeped through his bones.
All sound disappeared from his ear, and he saw that the demon was looking at his place. His heartbeat thumped so loud that it distracted his clouding thoughts, and Leon could only kneel in place.
"Hou, so you are the Savior Invidia was talking about!".
Looking at the trembling human boy from above, she snapped her lips wide, baring her white fangs. She crouched down to match the boy's gaze and lifted his chin.
"...". Leon was stared by the deep darkness in her eyes and a tinge of crimson malice that petrified his body, unable him to even move his lips.
"Hmph, what a boring man!".
Feeling bored of what the Savior had shown her, the demon pushed the boy away and stood up, gathering her power in hand. She aimed at the boy before her, and a feeling of disgust and disappointment filled her entire eyes.
"Die here, weakling!".
A black ball began to emerge on the demon's palm. It contained enormous power that could wipe out everything it touched.
On the other hand, Lin Fan, who managed to release himself from the fear that restrained his heart, forced his star power to cloak his entire body and dash forward. 'Make it in time!'.
After Lucy regains her footing, she watches the battlefield turn chaotic because of the appearance of another party with tremendous power. She clasps her hands together, trying to recite her prayer to bless everyone.
However, because of the black clouds and lack of sunlight, her prayer was blocked. She desperately prayed to the heavens above. But nothing happened.
"Senior Leon!".
All of a sudden, the anguished cry beside her prompted Lucy to open her eyes wide and see the nightmarish scene where Leon was facing his death.
"No, Leon!".
There is no help, only the grumbling thunder above them and the look of despair of the people seeing their Savior would meet his end in this place. Lin Fan grit his teeth while reaching out, the same as Lucy, but the distance between them is too far from Leon.
'Is this my end?'. Leon, who could only see the impending death before him, could only motionlessly sit in place while the saviour tattoo in his hand was roaring in anger. 'I'm sorry, everyone!?!'.
From his line of sight, Leon could see a brilliant crimson light filling his entire vision. The boy with his broad back cloaked with crimson scales stood in front of him, chasing away the death that would devour his life.
"Soma!".
The boy in front of him ignored his shocked gasp and saw something that shook his core. A thick killing intent emerged from the boy before him; the intensity of that was so fatal that it cut his consciousness off.
Lin Fan, who stopped in his advance, breathed a sigh of relief at Soma's appearance, which saved the day. However, he felt something different about him. What he saw was something unimaginable for the boy called Soma to have. Usually, the boy would always give his confidence aura around him and sometimes care about others who stood beside him, but this time, 'Soma, what happened to you?'.
Lucy, seeing Soma's appearance, clenched her uniform chest, filled with deep gratitude toward the boy.
"Thank you, Soma…".
"Gura, you bastard!".
The shout, filled with malice, opened up a battle that reopened the fate of two individuals brought together by hatred.
