He had a close relationship with Morgan le Fay, King Arthur's elder sister.
He was also considered a formidable foe by Vortigern, King Arthur's first and greatest enemy.
—The History of the Kings of Britain, by Geoffrey Monmouth (1136)
...
At this moment, in the main hall of Camelot Palace, the air currents roared wildly, and the gale whipped up by the dragon's roar seemed to crush everything as it burst forth from the tall figure standing there—Vortigern.
Born from the hatred and rejection of the native Celts on the British Isles, and as a 'regressed' 'dragon', Vortigern possesses an extremely high concentration of magic power. He has the body and heart of a dragon, and even his breathing generates dragon-like magic power that is infinitely close to 'true ether'.
This magic doesn't even need any sophisticated methods to activate; simply releasing it can cause earth-shattering destruction.
This moment.
King Uther's expression grew increasingly grim. Vortigern had completely overwhelmed him without even using his full strength, and the power displayed by the 'lowly king' far surpassed that of him, the nominal 'king' of Britain and the ruler of the Kingdom of Camelot.
However this.
Lu Kang raised his hand, but with just a wave, he tore apart all the surging magic.
At this moment.
Instead of retreating, he advanced—with his hand, which radiated an invisible glow and was entwined with the true etheric magic that was actively propelling it, he tore apart everything that was running rampant.
Whether it's from a dragon or a human.
Whether it's from the island or from any living being!
The pale wave of energy from the dragon's magic, which surged up in the next instant, disintegrated under his five fingers like a curtain being lifted.
next moment.
Then the figure of the lowly king suddenly emerged from among them, and his punch boomed!
Fist and palm collided violently like tides and waves!
This is a collision of mysteries, an encounter between 'god' and 'dragon', and even more so, a confrontation between 'gods'—the so-called lowly king is a dragon, but in essence, he is more like the tentacles of an island manifested in the form of a dragon, nature itself.
It is a dragon, more akin to a 'deity'.
As mentioned before, Vortigern's existence is like that of gods born from the planets in ancient times.
Based on this, and considering the terrifying magical power contained within him and the mysterious attributes he possesses, his fist is the strongest and most powerful weapon.
It is a mysterious shock capable of destroying an army and annihilating a city.
Like a 'heavy artillery'—or even more like the iron hammer wielded by the 'humble king'.
Lu Kang, however, was only slowly exerting force, pushing the triple cycles to overlap. The violent impact caused the five fingers to disintegrate into nothingness. He retracted four fingers, leaving only one, and with a single finger, he exerted the same force, still using the triple cycle, but breaking through the surface with a single point—piercing through the shattered dragon magic barrier in front of him.
The moment this finger was pointed out, it caused Vottigan to suddenly retreat and withdraw his defenses.
The immense dragon magic receded, leaving behind a trail of residual energy.
As Vortigern retreated, he felt an overwhelming sense of crisis. He stared directly at the finger the boy in front of him had raised. With divine thought and spirit and flesh, he pushed the finger, and although it was not the strongest exertion under the triple cycle, it was enough to tear through his 'King's Hammer' and then pierce through his body, which was entangled in magic.
Those around were still in shock.
Even Morgan, who was closest to Lu Kang, only then realized what was happening.
Before Lu Kang could even react to Vortigern's 'defeat'—she hadn't even had time to offer any assistance—the 'confrontation' was already over in an instant.
"Hoo...ha!"
Vortigern's aged figure tossed back his full head of golden hair, characteristic of the Pendragon family, and his aged face, though seemingly in his prime, merely curved into a smile:
"I never imagined that someone like you could exist in this era—"
"May I have your name...?"
Even before the fight began, I could sense that he was extraordinary.
But it was this encounter that truly confirmed his opponent's 'strength'.
That kind of impeccable, absolutely mysterious quality, as if it were constructing itself into a 'circle' that keeps circulating endlessly, is indeed something he should take seriously!
"Subatai Equinus?"
Lu Kang responded to the question from the tall figure before him with composure and a calm tone. His eyes flashed with light, and in that brief moment, he not only fought against his enemy but also recorded the opponent's move, the 'Humble King's Hammer,' into the 'system' of his divine thoughts.
First they gather, then they solidify.
Then go 'extract'.
Remove the 'bearing'.
These are the three steps in Lu Kang's vision for constructing the Martial Arts Attire.
He said, "The next head of the Aquinus family."
“Subatai Aquinus? Subatai Aquinus?... It’s you!” Vortigern chewed on the name, and suddenly realized.
But then suddenly his lips parted into a wider, even wider grin, and he gazed at the figure of the young man opposite him, his expression seemingly one of pure joy—
"Looks like I won't be bored until I 'tear you all apart'!"
"My stupid brother."
"And... a false nightmare!"
Vortigern looked toward the elderly King Uther in the rear and the handsome young man standing a few steps beside him with a constant smile.
The dragon's roar seemed about to erupt once more.
The invisible white dragon shadow, seemingly formed from within Vortigern's body, gradually emerged from its hazy form, as if converging and entwining with magical power.
That was the dragon's body belonging to Voodoo.
It is the negative manifestation of the British Isles, the Cretaceous Dragon!
Lu Kang smiled but was on high alert. The strength of the lowly king Vortigern was undeniable, and his current human form was by no means his strongest state... Of the dragon-type seed, the strongest is ultimately only the dragon body.
Lu Kang found it easy to deal with the lowly king Voodoo in human form.
But if it takes the form of a dragon...
We'll have to try it to find out!
However, in that brief moment, Morgan, standing beside Lu Kang, finally seized the opportunity and raised the 'staff' in his hand.
—The next second, magical ripples spread through the air, and a mercury-like mirror appeared out of thin air, refracting a distorted image of reality.
"Don't forget me, Uncle Vottigeng."
The young woman took a step forward, her long skirt billowing, and her slender figure finally stood shoulder to shoulder with Lu Kang in a true sense.
As his blond hair fluttered, Morgan spoke, "Although my 'Water Mirror Magic' is not yet fully mature, even you probably can't ignore it, can you?"
Although Morgan already possesses a level of mystery that surpasses all magicians and even most divine magicians simply by virtue of her power as the 'Lord of the Island,' she has never given up her pursuit as a magician. She is exceptionally talented and has created a series of divine-level grand magics.
Although it is not yet a complete system, it has already taken initial shape.
The 'Garden of Reverse Flow' that she previously used against Lu Kang is one of them, and it is the strongest binding method she uses against enemies. It is currently the strongest among the 'Garden Magic' techniques.
The 'water mirror' we see now is a different kind of thing.
It is not used against enemies, but rather for techniques that reverse reality and illusion and shift space!
The 'court' and 'environment' are also Morgan's most essential magic tricks.
Before the unfolding 'water mirror', Vortigern's expression hardened slightly. He glanced at Lu Kang, then at the girl standing beside him, and finally let out a cold snort, retracting the gradually unfolding 'dragon body'.
This is, after all, still within the city of Camelot.
Camelot, the holy city of Britain, is home to countless warriors and heroes, and is protected by royal authority.
Even he can't really act recklessly—he can't unleash his full power at will!
If he cannot end the battle quickly, he will be in trouble.
Even when he unleashed his dragon form and faced two opponents alone, Vortigern did not have absolute confidence in a quick victory.
Morgan's Water Mirror, in particular—as his uncle, Vortigern knew very well how troublesome this magic was. Although it did not have the power to attack on its own, it could cause great trouble if used to assist in combat.
and so.
"You guys are lucky today."
"Youse, Merlin."
"as well as..."
"Subotai!"
Upon hearing this, Vortigern, having completely withdrawn his dragon magic, turned and left without hesitation.
In the chaotic and shattered palace hall, everyone looked at each other, then turned to the young man and woman in the center, and all breathed a sigh of relief.
King Uther and the smiling young Merlin exchanged a glance.
Merlin smiled and nodded, still looking like he was watching a good show.
Morgan, who was looking at Lu Kang sideways, snorted coldly.
"No need to thank me..."
"This is just a small 'compensation'."
'remuneration'...
“I don’t remember asking for this as ‘reward’!” Lu Kang said.
The only response he received was a glare from Morgan.
That timeframe has passed, and getting her to call him "brother" again is now extremely difficult!
But you do feel some gratitude in your heart for Morgan's help.
In this situation, the outcome of a battle against Vortigern, who possesses the body of a dragon, is uncertain, but apart from King Uther, Merlin, Morgan, and a few others, no one else present can expect to survive.
This is not good for your plans.
You traveled across mountains and rivers, not just to deliver vegetables to Vottigeng.
Although this gratitude is not much.
Even if Vortigern were to become truly 'enraged,' you would have the ability to lure him away—to shift the battlefield.
Since you dared to provoke us, you must have your own reasons.
Morgan's presence ultimately saved you a lot of the mental and physical effort involved in operating his 'magic project'.
The banquet that day thus came to an abrupt end due to the disruption caused by Vortigern's arrival.
However, news of your alliance with Morgan to force the 'Low King' Vortigern to retreat also spread quickly.
[Soon, the news spread throughout the entire Kingdom of Camelot—and across half of Britain.]
Chapter 198 Rising to Fame, Enclosing Land for the Public, the Class Known as Knights
In this era, on this land called Britain, everyone knows that the one who calls himself 'King' and is named Vortigern, the white dragon incarnation known as the 'Vile King', is the undisputed strongest being of the time.
Five years ago, he thwarted the rebel army that King Uther of Camelot had formed in alliance with the First Court Magician, Merlin the Sage. There are even legends that he single-handedly defeated hundreds of powerful warrior legions. On that day, the burning dragon flames melted even the armor on the warriors' bodies and the swords in their hands into molten iron, leaving a silvery ruin on the Cotswold Hills in the central part of Britain where the battle took place, which can still be seen today.
Even if King Uther himself were to take action, he would be no match for him.
Even the 'wise man' Merlin could only manage to escape with King Uther.
It was after that battle five years ago that Vortigern's power grew even larger, and the rebels entrenched in the north were also eyeing him covetously. If it weren't for the ancient mystery and indestructibility associated with the towering walls of Camelot, Vortigern would probably have already marched south and swept across the entire territory.
He was already beyond control.
before today.
Until today!
...
Ancient poems say that the white dragon feared the southern eagle, so it lingered in the north for ten years without landing.
