Chapter 229
229: How Do You Like Them Now? Little Ones (2)
* * *
The Mifu Tribe.
One of the six Superior Races, and the very tribe that inherited the legendary “Transcendence” of the Great Sage of Heaven. Perhaps that was why?
As descendants of the Great Sage of Heaven, they were driven primarily by curiosity and interest, and Chichi’s party was no exception.
They had followed along because they heard that a Human Party—an inferior race—had been included in Davy Jones’s party, but they never imagined they would fall behind such a Human Party.
And that wasn’t even the end of it.
To think they would drag them along and take down a boss—honestly, it was far too reckless. Even with minimal numbers, the standard practice was for Superior Races to bring at least four parties, meaning twenty people, to conduct a raid.
But to attempt it with merely six? It was recklessness taken to an extreme, and they thought this was genuinely insane.
“Hm, hm~ hm~”
Watching Dohyun hum to himself as he scouted locations suitable for the raid, the three felt their fur stand on end.
They were wondering whether Dohyun’s party and Chichi’s party—just six of them—could possibly take down a boss, when Dohyun spoke.
“If you’re really worried, we can just do it ourselves, so don’t stress.”
Dohyun had grown casual in his speech, but Chichi looked at him as though he had completely lost his mind, rather than focusing on his tone.
“Ah, but even so, would your party alone be capable of such a thing?”
At that, Dohyun smiled and replied.
“Well, it should be enough. Besides, you all helped out too.”
At his words, Chichi blinked, looking at Dohyun as if to ask what he meant. He had said they would do it themselves, yet he claimed they had helped?
Dohyun smiled as he gazed at the text that had appeared before his eyes.
[Consuming 1500 AP to acquire the skill “Cloud Leap [A]” from Chichi.]
[Consuming 1500 AP to acquire the skill “Elixir Refinement [A]” from Pao.]
[Consuming 1500 AP to acquire the skill “Clone Technique [A]” from Ming.]
And two of them had merged with his existing skills.
[Analysis seeks the most compatible skill.]
[Based on Analysis, “Cloud Leap [A]” merges with Ruin’s Dragon Solvent, and “Elixir Refinement [A]” merges with the Plague Lord.]
[The grade of Ruin’s Dragon Solvent and the Plague Lord rises.]
And looking at the “Clone Technique” that remained alone, Dohyun thought to himself.
‘I’ve obtained something truly absurd.’
Cloud Leap? It was a mobility skill that allowed movement by treading on clouds, so it naturally connected to dragons or dragon-kind and was absorbed into Ruin’s Dragon Solvent. Elixir Refinement, being a form of alchemy, naturally merged with the Plague Lord.
But this independent skill that hadn’t merged—Clone Technique—was truly one of the greatest skills Dohyun could imagine in existence.
One might ask why, but consider this: imagine Dohyun multiplying through Clone Technique.
Most who knew Dohyun would find their brows furrowing at the sight that would unfold. For that very reason, even in Dohyun’s estimation, he had obtained the finest skill available.
Moreover.
‘Perhaps they’re too young to sense it.’
Dohyun smiled wickedly, watching the three little ones who hadn’t even noticed him taking their skills. Then he spoke to them.
“I won’t tell you to actually fight, so just watch and see.”
“…Understood.”
Unlike Chichi, who looked dispirited and uncertain, Pao and Ming appeared lively and shouted excitedly.
“Ooh! We’ve been curious about the Furnace of Dragons’s boss!”
“What an exhilarating battle this will be!”
Watching the two of them brim with excitement, Hanalin approached Dohyun with a serious expression. Seeing her approach, Dohyun tilted his head as if asking what was wrong, and Jiyuchan came over as well.
Wondering what had prompted this, Dohyun’s confusion was answered by both of them.
“You’re not actually going to let those little ones fight, are you?”
“And no sparring matches either, right?”
As both of them spoke to Dohyun with considerable worry in their voices, he blinked at them as if questioning what kind of person they thought he was.
“What? Even I wouldn’t make little children like that fight.”
“….” “….”
From their silence, it seemed they had indeed thought that. Dohyun sighed and waved his hand dismissively at his party members, who knew him far too well, telling them to step back.
Only then did they seem somewhat reassured and back away, and Dohyun retrieved the Summoning Scroll.
The moment Dohyun pulled out the Summoning Scroll, Chichi’s Party retreated a considerable distance, while the Dohyun Party focused intently, their attention fixed on his gestures.
And once they were ready, Dohyun called out without much tension.
“Alright then, let’s go.”
With that cry.
Riiiiip——!
The paper tore with a sharp sound, and the Summoning Scroll in Dohyun’s hand was ripped apart. The response came immediately.
Rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble.
Just as when Dreadnought had appeared, space trembled and the very fabric of midair itself began to shake, its vibrations shaking everything—sky and ground alike.
The Dohyun Party, having experienced this once before and adapted to it, watched the phenomenon unfold without concern, while Chichi’s Party behind them swallowed hard, trembling as they observed it.
At the same time, they couldn’t comprehend it.
Certainly, the Dohyun Party was strong, but the physical strength and mana power they felt were roughly comparable to their own. With the Mifu Tribe’s superior perception and senses, that assessment had to be accurate. Yet despite this, the Dohyun Party was attempting to defeat the boss with their party alone, which was nothing short of astonishing.
As Dohyun tore the Summoning Scroll, space split open with a crack, and the head that appeared resembled that of an earthworm. But there was a difference.
Crackle, crackle, crackle——!!!
Bone scales that resembled armor covered its entire body, and it wore what appeared to be a dragon skull like a crown upon the worm’s head.
While its size was merely ten meters, small compared to Dreadnought, the creature’s appearance—with its dragon-like skull and bone scales resembling dragon scales covering its body—bore an oppressive resemblance to an Eastern dragon.
And as it burst forth, its maw split open in a cross shape as it unleashed a terrible shriek.
“Kuweeeeeeeek——!!!”
The appearance of Area 2’s boss, the Dragon-Armored Tube Worm, Ignid.
Rumble, rumble, rumble.
Merely from the roar, the ground shook, and cracks spread across the previously intact earth, from which magma erupted.
Whoooosh——!!!
The magma surged upward, transforming the entire area into a hot, viscous Lava Zone in an instant. Dohyun, Hanalin, and Jiyuchan observed this and moved forward with expressionless faces and cold eyes, nodding in acknowledgment, but the Mifu Tribe Trio could not.
They could only tremble at the sudden appearance of Ignid and its roar.
Within that roar lay a faint but unmistakable Dragon Clan’s pressure, and feeling it, the Mifu Tribe Trio shuddered uncontrollably.
Of course, in actual combat they wouldn’t have been so helpless, but from their position as distant observers, Ignid’s threat was unavoidable.
“Can they really defeat that with just the three of them…?”
“C-Captain, shouldn’t we help?”
“But… would our help even make a difference?”
As the trio trembled and muttered thus, the battle began. Naturally, Dohyun started first.
Since Dohyun was the fastest in the party, he stepped forward first, gripping his sword and about to swing it toward Ignid.
Suddenly, Ignid’s tail erupted from the ground where Dohyun had landed.
Whoooooosh———!!!
The pure white bone scales glowed a searing red, radiating such intense heat that Dohyun swiftly twisted his body in midair to evade the piercing tail, then unwound his momentum and spun rapidly to maintain mobility even suspended in the air.
As Dohyun’s body rotated swiftly through the air, he channeled that rotational force into a sword strike aimed at the incoming tail.
Then.
Claaaaaang———!!!
A fierce metallic shriek rang out as Dohyun’s blade collided with Ignid’s tail, and they rebounded from each other in a violent shower of sparks.
Dohyun’s sword drove the tail back, and that tail drove Dohyun’s body back.
Dohyun spun through the air, pushed backward by the force of the collision.
As Ignid opened its cross-split maw toward Dohyun, scalding, viscous lava erupted from within.
“Gwaaaahhh———!!!”
A nauseating roar accompanied the surge of lava.
Just before Dohyun was engulfed by the molten wave, a platinum-bright streak flashed forward and positioned itself before him.
As the platinum light extended, Jiyuchan emerged from it, grasping the platinum-bright sword aura and spoke quietly.
“Platinum Sword, First Form.”
With those words, a fierce platinum radiance erupted from Jiyuchan’s blade, and the form manifested.
Platinum Sword
First Form
Platinum Refinement
The sword aura of the golden blade, compressed to its absolute limit, had become platinum—and now that platinum radiance blazed forth, literally cleaving the lava wave asunder.
Skreeeee———!!!
The sharp sword aura split the lava wave in two, and the remaining force shot toward Ignid, carving a massive gash across its white, iron-hard dragon scales.
Screeeech!!!
“Kwaaaahhhhh!!!”
As a long wound was etched across its torso, the creature shrieked in agony, and in that instant, something fell from above its head.
So impossibly fast that perception itself lagged behind, a pure white beam descended—and lacking physical substance, it passed clean through Ignid’s body, freezing solid everything in its path.
Crackle crackle crackle———!!!
Yet the ice alone could not contain Ignid, for the frozen body immediately ignited, burning away every trace of the ice that had encased it.
Hisssssss———!
The sudden steam threatened to obscure vision, but in that moment, a brilliant light materialized around Hanalin, and Ignid, about to conjure lava, suddenly flinched at the heat radiating from her, turning its head in alarm.
Then.
Whoooosh———!!!
A heat incomparably greater than mere lava washed forth, and Ignid trembled as it beheld the small point of light rising skyward from Hanalin’s hands.
Confronted by heat and radiance it had never witnessed in the deep sea, the creature stood paralyzed—and in that moment, the small luminous sphere that had risen completed its formation.
Hanalin spoke simultaneously.
“Celestial Star Orbit Form, First Incantation.”
Contrary to her crystalline voice, a star burning with searing heat departed from Hanalin’s hand and began to orbit around her.
Grand Magic—Celestial Star Orbit Form
First Incantation
Interstellar Ignition
The Mifu Tribe Trio could only gape in awe as they watched the star hovering around Hanalin.
“A, a sun is right there!”
“It’s, it’s so hot!”
“Wow….”
In stark contrast to the three’s amazement, Ignid trembled with dread as he beheld Hanalin, who had conjured such a star.
