Lion Dragon

The Lion Dragon is the eighth unranked monster and the guardian of the sealed God's temple. Once the Lion Dragon is defeated, the temple door of the Sealed God's Temple will appear.

According to Taerang, Alberu's unbreakable spear, the monster was used as the main and sole ingredient to create the spear.

## Appearance

The unranked monster is said to be an alien race with two legs, eight wings, Dragon scales, a Lion’s head, and an Eagle’s claws.

The Lion Dragon has eight dragon scales covering its body – seemingly impenetrable as no attacks seem to be able to penetrate them. It also has a lion's head, a white and lustrous mane, and sharper claws – which are said to be sharper than an eagle's. The monster walks on two feet, and its eyes shine gold. It appears to be holy, as if it were a warrior that protects the Gods. In the darkness, the Lion Dragon's white scales glow.

During the second stage, the Lion Dragon's eyes turns to red. In the third stage, the turns to black.

## Personality

The Lion Dragon talks in a mechanical voice, as it only speaks about *taking care of intruders*; making it sound like a guardian who is protecting a dungeon or an item. It only reacts to strong individuals; if a strong individual is not detected, the Lion Dragon just maintains a defensive posture rather than attacking.

## History

### Earth 3

According to Ahn Roh Man, the Lion Dragon went into destruction mode after a week it appeared while only reacting to strong individuals.

It took seven nights and eight days on Earth 3 to eventually defeat the Lion Dragon. Thousands of people perished as a result of the defeat, and an area ten times the size of Seoul became so desolate that it could never be recovered. For the first time, the monster ranking had halted at SSS-Grade and had been updated to include the EX-Grade level.

Following the Lion Dragon's defeat, Ahn Roh Man analyzes the data and creates Taerang from the Lion Dragon's bones. These phrases imply that the Lion Dragon is a defeatable monster, which means that they had investigated thoroughly and conquered this monster.

### Puzzle City

The Lion Dragon was first sealed inside a sculpture in the third location of the Temple of the Demonic God's deepest area facility, and was summoned through people's deaths being used as sacrifices, and then appeared in Puzzle City, a place shunned by the gods. When Eruhaben transformed into his Dragon form, the Lion Dragon reacted and the two of them fought each other until Eruhaben was defeated—but it was all an act. When Alberu hits the Lion Dragon's back with Taerang, which has changed into a gun, the Lion Dragon screams for the first time. During the activation of the mana disturbance tool, Alberu's weapon fired a small light with the Sun God's divine power in the sky. The Lion Dragon remained silent and focused on his eyes, which became even more red as he stared at Alberu.

As they continue to fight the Lion Dragon, the monster's attack becomes more powerful. Alberu's attack, as well as Choi Han and the dragons' support, wounded the monster's wings and back. Cale had blocked the black light whenever it attacked that came from the monster's eye. During stage three, they were able to paralyze the Lion Dragon by using On and Hong's abilities. The poison had an effect, and the monster's movements slowed. Mary used her black threads to bind the monster's limbs. Raon and Rosalyn combined their mana to form a large orb. Cale prevented the monster's shield from raising to defend itself. The Lion Dragon was then slammed by the dark red mana orb. The monster had fallen for the first time.

At stage five, the Lion Dragon was bleeding after its scales were pierced by numerous bullets and was breathing heavily. The Lion Dragon had black smoke coming out of his body, meaning the monster's end was near, according to Ahn Roh Man. The monster managed to get back up after it had fallen, but could only kneel on one knee. Choi Han's yong opened the way for Alberu, and Alberu took advantage of the opportunity to stab the monster's white heart. This heart was not beating like the human heart, and the monster flailed more violently. The two dragons used their mana to tie themselves to the ground and hold it down. Cracks start to appear and the white heart turns black because of Alberu's dead mana. A black light burst out of the Lion Dragon at that moment. The monster’s body slowly crumbled until its upper body slumped forward and collapsed flat. The black smoke disappeared, and a building began to appear in the sky.

## Abilities

The Lion Dragon has a strong body, sharp claws, and numerous other abilities. It is stated that its bones are the strongest of all monsters, and that its physical strength is superior to anyone else's. Because it was summoned through people's deaths, the Lion Dragon was too powerful to simply state it was powerful because it was a "unranked monster." It also uses dead mana as a foundation because it was called through people's deaths, so the power of the Lion Dragon holds seems to be the power of death. However, because the monster's power was not reliant on magic, it could launch its attacks whenever it pleased.

**Unbreakable Shield**

* It is the most terrifying aspect of the Lion Dragon.
* It employs a shield as a weapon, which Taerang called the *Unbreakable Shield*.

**Dragon Breath-like Power**

* A breath attack that resembles that of a Dragon, but it is darker and more frightening. It felt as if it was dead mana that had become disgusting and dangerous, and it came into contact with would instantly melt.
* When a magic barrier or Dragon’s shield comes into contact with the Lion Dragon’s breath attack, they are easily destroyed.
* It is a powerful, dark red light force.

**Eye’s shooting out black light**

* The monster's eyes will turn black, and this black light will shoot out from its eyes continuously without stopping, and it looks like it uses dead mana.

## Attack stages

The Lion Dragon's attack has five different stages and they changed depending on how the monster is attacking.

**First Stage:** The Lion Dragon only uses its shield and claws.

**Second Stage:** Involves unleashing a dragon breath-like power. This power fires constantly, shooting in the air, and on the ground.

In the first two stages, the Lion Dragon only defends against attacks and shows simple movements.

**Third Stage:** The Lion Dragon goes for anybody who attacks itself. According to Ahn Roh Man, the Lion Dragon uses its physical strength, shield, and two special abilities, one of which is the Dragon Breath-like power it used previously, and the other of which is the power that began with the Lion Dragon's two eyes. It is quicker and more powerful than it had been in stages one and two. Once it reaches the third stage, the Lion Dragon only attacks strong people it considers a threat, and it attempts to kill anything alive. The Lion Dragon moves in a very smooth and natural manner. What it expresses the most was its immense attacking strength. The monster can only maintain in this state for around thirty minutes.

**Fifth Stage:** The Lion Dragon only uses its physical strength as the monster has used up all its abilities at this point.

## Trivia

* Taerang is the only weapon that can pierce through the Lion Dragon’s bone but it is unable to break the shield.
