----------------------------------------
The war stop. The sound of that snap was so load that the battlefield stopped and the people look above where they think the snap came from. Then it appeared.
A small black dot. It elongated in a long line and it opened. A black hole opened and from it something came out. Big wings, 10 black horns pointing towards to the back of its head, 50 meters long and it has scales that cover its whole body. It was a dragon. At first none of them cared. For all they knew it was a summoned beast of one side. They cared even less because 50 meters is something that even 30 people in this war can take down with ease. What made them stare at became doubtful is its color. There are dragons in this world, but as far as anyone knew, a black dragon or a white dragon are considered the strongest dragons. This one is rainbow in color.
It didn't stop there. A man in full armor holding a massive sword came from the hole. His armor is pure black. Nobody can describe the armor, not even the two rulers. Why? Because the armor looks more hazy the more one concentrates on it. His sword however can be easily seen. An ōdachi* with an emerald color, that is 2 and a half meters long, including the hilt.
The dragon then looked back at the man and fired a fireball from its mouth. The fire was black and it was so hot that the whole battlefield felt the heat. The man caught it with just the tip of his sword (the emerald sword, not his "sword") and deflected it towards the sky. The man shouted something and he made a slash. The slash materialized and flew towards the dragon. It evaded by diving down unto the battlefield. The dragon landed with a force that shook the ground. Some people were crushed by the dragon, some fell down because of the shaking. But nobody ran away. More likely that they can't. Most of them are now paralyzed by the aura of power released by the dragon. When it was in the air, nobody felt it, but now people are passing out just by the pressure .
The man followed the dragon but instead of landing like the dragon. His landing was gentle and without a sound. He looked at the dragon and said.
" Let's stop here. "
"GRRAAAAAAGHHHHH!!!!!"
The dragon pounced at the man. He swiped with a claw and the man parried it. The physical claw stopped, but the force of it made three long slashes behind the man and killed people with it. This happened 5 more times. Each slash kills people by the hundreds. Nobody can move even the rulers who are in the air, so even if they saw the slash coming, they can only accept it. When the dragon moves, its spiky tail impaling people with it, adding more to the list of indirect kills. The man on the other hand is just defending. No one knows if he is cornered because he is just defending or if he is underestimating the dragon by just defending. Either way, he is powerful enough to parry attacks from the dragon.
The man then looks at the carnage made by them, mostly the dragon, and said "That will do for today." He deflected an attack and punched the dragon towards the sky. The dragon flew up. The man vanishes and appears above the dragon. The dragon was greeted by the man with a slash. A deep cut appeared on the chest of the dragon. As the slash ended, the sword in the man's hand changed. The sword widened and made a cone. It has changed into an emerald lance. The man jabbed the lance into the shoulder of the dragon. He kicked the hilt and the dragon flew again. It landed far away from the battlefield. The man raised an open palm and closed it. When he closed it, a huge sphere was created around the place where the dragon had fallen. He raised his fist and using his thumb, he pointed down. The sphere turned into a net and falls unto the dragon and captures it.

" I'm sorry for the trouble that i caused. Allow me to compensate. "
The rulers was surprised from the sudden apology of the man. The two rulers fear the man but as rulers, even if it is a god, they can't and will not show weakness. They looked at the man solemnly and nod. Even though because of the man and the dragon almost half of the two forces was killed, they have no power against him. They can do nothing but follow.
" Let's take a spot and talk, shall we? " the man raised his hands and waved.
Below them with a diameter of 25 meters, a circle was formed. The blood, corpses and limbs where moved by a force. Even the crater that was there was partially fixed just to create that clean spot. In th middle is a tent. The man pointed at it and flew towards it. The king followed. When the king entered the tent, there was a table with 3 chairs. On the table is a tea set and some snacks. The man sat in one of the three chairs and gestured the king to seat. The emperor suddenly materialized in front of the table. The man also gestured for him to seat. The emperor bowed a little and sat. The king grunted and took a place. The rulers removed their respective helm and out it on the table, a gesture of respect when doing negotiations between powers. The man did not removed his helmet and still spoke which made the eyebrows of the rulers twitch.
" My name is.......John Doe. " The man chuckled which the two did not get. "I was here because that dragon dragged me here. I simply wanted to apologize for what the dragon did. So, as compensation i will stop this war and give you two something to make you powerful. How about it?"
The rude man made the emperor annoyed but otherwise relieved. He wanted stop the war in the first place but the war ending is also good for him.
The king however, is in fact furious. Furious about him not avenging his daughter, even though the "culprit", the emperor himself, is right there, he can't move against him right now.
" I agree, this war was meaningless if not downright stupid. We lost a lot of men, it is time for us to lick our wounds and retreat.As for the matter about his daugh-"
"DON'T YOU DARE EVEN MENTION MY DAUGHTER!! I WILL KILL YOU TODAY EVEN IF IT IS THE LAST THING I DO!!"
" Calm down Shinryuu, I wouldn't go so far as to kill your daughter just to initiate a war! You were reckless, rash and now at least half of your forces are dead. "
The king was even more furious now. He was being disrespected by the emperor by scolding him like a child. It didn't end there. The emperor was known for his sharp tongue.
"I wish that i had killed your daughter so that this pointless war didn't have to be so pointless. And the lives of my and your forces wouldn't be wasted like that."
" THAT IS IT DRAGONSLAYER!! YOU ARE GONNA DIE NOW! "
The king brandished his corseque and aim a stab at the emperor. The emperor's hand with the glove shone and he raised it to block the attack.
At this moment, the man who was silently listening moved. He moved far faster than the two. He grabbed the two artifacts. And with an invisible force, he made these two into coins. A pure white one and a bronze with black, red and white dots.
"Now that the weapons are gone. Let's continue to talk."
