Chapter 50: Dragon Island (5)

 

“Senior, Floor Transformation over here!”

“Got it. Supporter, buff me—!”

 

Yeon Ho-jung cast her skill toward the floor. The solid dirt ground began transforming into a swamp. One of the giant Sahagin’s feet sank into the marsh.

Woo Dong-ho raised his arm and fired his crossbow. The flying crossbow arrow embedded itself in the Sahagin’s eyebrow.

 

Kuwooooooo—!

 

The Sahagin twisted its face and pulled out the arrow.

 

“Phew… Tough bastard.”

 

Woo Dong-ho wiped the sweat from his chin as he looked at the Mid Boss. All the small fry had been dealt with. However, that Sahagin was still holding on.

Fortunately, there was progress. The Sahagin’s skin was covered with wounds both large and small.

Blue Dragon had over ten Hunters. There was no defense against a numerical assault.

 

“Next target is the left side of the nape! That spot seems weak!”

 

Another Hunter shouted toward Woo Dong-ho.

The Blue Dragon Hunters were exploring the enemy on their own, finding weak points. It was rapid growth.

Woo Dong-ho carefully aimed his crossbow.

 

Swish. Thunk!

 

The crossbow struck the Sahagin’s left nape. It was an incredibly smooth exchange.

 

“Se-min, support!”

 

Yeon Ho-jung shouted to Kim Se-min.

Kim Se-min deployed a magic circle toward the Sahagin. Dozens of Woo Dong-ho’s crossbows poured out from that magic circle.

 

Swoosh— swish—! Thunk!

 

The hastily made crossbows couldn’t penetrate the Sahagin’s steel-like hide and fell away, but they were enough to steal the monster’s attention.

 

Kurrrrrrrr—!

 

At the same time, Yeon Ho-jung’s attention was also stolen by something else.

 

‘What’s that?’

 

From somewhere other than here, she heard the sound of something collapsing.

Was it another monster appearing? Yeon Ho-jung anxiously rolled her eyes to identify the source of the sound.

 

“Yeon Ho-jung, don’t worry about that side.”

 

However, Lee Cheong-ryu blocked her gaze. Leaning against a tree while thoroughly grasping the battle, he spoke.

Yeon Ho-jung nodded with a bewildered expression.

 

‘…What was that just now?’

 

Both the sudden roar and Lee Cheong-ryu who abruptly blocked her interest in it.

However, there was no time to think about it.

Yeon Ho-jung focused again on the Sahagin’s incoming attack. And she got absorbed in the battle, changing Woo Dong-ho’s crossbow to sturdier iron armor.

 

Only Lee Cheong-ryu glanced toward where the roar had come from. His blue hair fluttered through the dust.

 

* * *

 

The cave had collapsed.

Above the space that had become an open field, only the standoff between me and the white dragon continued. The dragon growled while being wary of me.

 

‘This is maddening.’

 

It was the appearance of a being I never expected. I chewed my lips while exploring my opponent.

Golden eyes, dazzlingly white scales, and even massive wings. It was definitely a dragon species.

 

“I wondered why things were going so smoothly…”

 

I muttered while taking a battle stance.

 

“As expected.”

 

It’s the dungeon boss.

 

 

It was on a different level from the monsters I’d faced so far. Stats slightly superior to mine, who contained the Thunder God that was between A-rank and S-rank.

In other words, this dragon was a top-tier monster even among A-rank.

 

‘Coming alone and facing something like this…’

 

“One prophecy isn’t worth the cost.”

 

I chuckled softly as I muttered.

 

| Ho. A dragon. Do divine beasts live in this place too? |

“That’s probably not it. That’s just a monster.”

 

In shamanism, dragons are deified, no, they are gods themselves. But dragons encountered in dungeons are different.

What god. I knew well that no matter how beautiful its appearance, that thing was just a monster.

 

| A monster? Then is it the same as the ones so far? With cruel methods and no reason. |

“Yes. That’s right.”

| …What divine beast. It was an evil creature! |

 

The Thunder God muttered with displeasure.

Right, that thing is nothing more than just a monster.

 

‘That I must defeat.’

 

I slowly began to emit killing intent. The opponent seemed to sense it too, flapping its wings and showing threatening gestures.

 

【You cannot… come any closer…】

“Oh, you can speak?”

 

The dragon’s voice spread widely in all directions. It was a mysterious voice that seemed both feminine and masculine.

 

“But you need to be a bit quieter.”

 

I pointed the Spirit General Sword toward the dragon.

 

“I can’t let anyone know I’m here.”

 

If I went out alone and fought a boss, what excuse could I give to Blue Dragon?

This was someone else’s dungeon after all. I wanted to avoid going to Hunter trial on fraud charges.

 

“Thunder Rain.”

 

I first drove the Spirit General Sword into the ground.

 

Crack.

 

【Get out… of this place.】

“You first.”

 

Crackle—

 

I could feel the Thunder God’s patience reaching its limit. Lightning spread across the ground with the Spirit General Sword as its center.

 

| I hope this becomes an enjoyable fight! |

 

* * *

 

| Kahahaha! |

 

The suppressed power of the divine spirit was finally unleashed.

I gritted my teeth with a crack, struggling to handle the amount of electricity overflowing in my body.

 

| I am the god who brings down lightning to punish the evil spirits of the earth. |

 

The Thunder God’s voice flowed from my mouth through my vocal cords.

 

“Then I shall also punish the monsters of the earth.”

 

Roooooar—!

 

The lightning that had been flowing through the ground suddenly burst forth.

 

Boom, crack!

 

The exploded lightning completely shattered the floor. Rock fragments and dirt scattered in all directions.

The dragon flapped its wings and retreated backward.

 

【Tch… So it was ‘that thing’. Troublesome creatures…】

 

The dragon scraped its claws on the ground as if displeased.

 

“You guys keep acting strange.”

 

I gripped the Spirit General Sword in reverse.

 

“Lightning Flash.”

 

Then I shot forward like a flash of lightning. In an instant, the dragon’s golden eyes met my yellow gaze.

 

Clang!

 

The blade of the Spirit General Sword grazed past the white dragon’s scales.

 

“I don’t know you guys.”

 

A few scales fell to the ground with a thud.

 

“But you guys keep acting like you know me.”

 

The dragon struck me hard with its wing.

My feet left the ground as my body flew through the air.

When I barely managed to land, the distance between the dragon and me had widened even more than before.

 

“Hah…”

 

I had clearly used my strength stat to the maximum, yet no proper wound had been inflicted.

 

‘This really is a dungeon boss…’

 

A power difference where I couldn’t win even half the time if we fought ten times. But now I absolutely had to win.

 

| For a mere evil spirit… |

 

The Thunder God gnashed his teeth. Currently, the unity between me and the Thunder God was at its peak. Yet we had only managed to knock off a few scales, so it was understandable he’d be angry.

I closed the distance with the dragon again. And as if performing a sword dance, I rotated my body with the blade raised.

 

Crackle!

 

Like a whip flying through the air, the blade struck down toward the dragon.

 

【Krrrrrk!】

 

The attack struck precisely at the dragon’s shoulder blade.

 

Scrape, scrape scrape!

 

I put strength into my arm and dug in, but the white scales were solid. Once again, only a few scales fell to the floor with a clatter.

 

‘I wonder if these are worth some money.’

 

They looked like sparkling white gems. There might be demand for them. I should grab a few as loot.

 

“Again!”

 

I thought this as I charged in once more. The dragon was even shedding tears as it looked at its fallen scales.

 

【How dare you touch my platinum!】

 

Platinum, it says. If they were just rocks, maybe. They’re damn hard.

I swung my sword again. However, the dragon dodged the attack by a hair’s breadth.

The Spirit General Sword only scraped the innocent floor.

 

| You have good skills. |

 

Grind.

My teeth clenched even though it wasn’t my will.

 

“At this rate, it’ll just become a war of attrition.”

 

I muttered with sharp eyes. If I kept continuing with attacks that only scratched the surface, I’d be at a disadvantage. Since mana has limits.

 

| Do you have a method? |

“Yes. I do. Though I’m not sure if it’ll work.”

 

Right, there was a method. Of course, I wasn’t certain.

But since I couldn’t hesitate any longer. I had to act without delay.

 

“Whew—”

 

I exhaled and rummaged inside my combat suit. I’d brought it just in case, and it was definitely a good choice.

A piece of yellow paper emerged from my chest.

 

 

Talisman Arts, which I had newly awakened last time.

 

‘Will it work?’

 

It still hadn’t been updated.

The accidental manifestation of its effect at Baek Kyul’s house last time was the first and last.

 

“…Well, nothing ventured, nothing gained.”

 

I threw my body toward where the sahagins I’d defeated earlier were.

Red blood. This would be sufficient as a substitute. My hand became thoroughly soaked with red blood.

 

【You’re doing something wicked!】

“Wicked?”

 

I gripped the yellow paper and drew strokes over it. My hurried hand movements created fierce strokes.

Swish, swoosh.

 

“Hmm… Then I won’t do anything wicked. Could you give me that flower behind you?”

【Ha, to something like you? You should say something that makes sense!】

“It’s troublesome for me to fight you to the death right now. If you just hand that over, I’ll just go back. Let’s not waste our strength unnecessarily.”

【I can kill the likes of you in no time. You are not worthy to negotiate with me.】

 

It seemed like it had no intention of handing it over quietly.

 

In the end, I had to fight.

That was the only way to end it. Everything.

 

“I see… Then there’s no choice.”

 

I gripped the completed talisman in my hand.

 

‘Please, just work.’

 

Whoooosh—!

 

Fortunately, golden light began emanating from the talisman.

 

“Talisman Arts, Enhancement.”

 

I attached the blood-stained talisman to the Spirit General Sword. A faint golden color swirled around the silver blade.

 

 

With this, the sword would become sharper.

 

“Take good care of your scales.”

 

Because I…

 

| Will pluck them all out for you. |

 

The Spirit General Sword gripped in my hand flew toward the White Dragon like lightning.
