Chapter 73: Beyond Elite Black Demon Dragon (4)
The Black Demon Dragon remained completely still for a while.
Because it couldn’t walk.
It couldn’t even take a single step forward.
A binding force it had never experienced before in its life.
What the hell was this?
If it had been physical force, it would have just broken through and moved on.
Its body could move, but it couldn’t advance forward.
That’s why it couldn’t chase that three-headed cat bastard.
How dare it steal prey right before its eyes?
By the way, what was that human’s identity?
Its abilities didn’t work on him.
Even worse, it had received his attack and its sturdy back was slightly wounded.
Even now, its back area was tingling.
Eventually.
The mysterious binding force that had been restraining it disappeared.
The Black Demon Dragon pondered for a moment.
Should it continue going up, or stay here?
The deliberation didn’t last long.
This place was insufficient to become a new nest.
It had to advance further upward.
Thump thump thump thump!
The Black Demon Dragon marched north again.
* * *
Taehong Bio New Seoul Factory.
Factory employees moved busily.
The sudden sales approval from the Food and Drug Administration, plus they had to supply all the produced medicine to the military.
Even the stock in the warehouse wouldn’t be enough.
In the end, they had to temporarily set aside the company policy of no overtime work.
Right now, the entire Empire was in an emergency situation at war with demons.
Behind the sales approval was Baekdu Group.
A few hours before the approval came down, Chairman Jeong Uk-cheol’s phone call to General Manager Baek Seo-yeon.
– Mr. Baek, have you made enough of the drink products?
“Of course. The factory warehouse is completely full.”
– It won’t be enough, you’ll probably need overtime work.
“Why the rush? The approval hasn’t even come down yet.”
– The sales approval will come down soon. As early as today! And you’ll have to supply everything to the military. There’s been a reaction from their side.
“…What? Military? You mean the military?”
– A while ago, we sent a considerable amount of the drink products to the North Beijing Wave Defense Supply Unit. To let them experience the effects firsthand.
“Oh my? Chairman, isn’t that illegal?”
– Ha ha, illegal! One of our factory employees just took a few boxes of highly effective fatigue relief drink products for his Sergeant’s Brother who was suffering at the front lines, and he didn’t even sell them for money.
“…You know the details quite specifically.”
– War is a crisis, but it’s also an opportunity. After all, isn’t it medicine that helps improve combat power?
And it went exactly as Chairman Jeong Uk-cheol said.
Food and Drug Administration sales approval, full purchase by the military.
Orders came in not only for Saengibulkkun but also for Saesalssukssuk.
– By the way, what is Chairman Kim Tae-ju doing these days?
“He’s going around securing materials to meet the Taehong Recovery Medicine quota. We’re short on bear bile. There are only a few people who can process the materials too.”
– Tsk tsk, I couldn’t reach him so I wondered what he was doing… Even as a chairman, he’s still running around on foot. That guy has a lot of hardships too.
“I always feel sorry about that part too.”
– You can’t reach him either?
“No, he seems to be in a place where smartphones don’t work.”
But neither Jeong Uk-cheol nor Baek Seo-yeon were particularly worried.
He wasn’t the type to go around getting beaten up.
Tae-ju’s absence had grown a bit long, but not many people were greatly concerned about it.
* * *
Two days had passed since Tae-ju encountered the Black Demon Dragon.
And the full-scale war that broke out at the Great Wall of China.
Demons rushing in like crazy, elite demons chasing behind them.
Dozens of combat divisions had assembled to stop them.
The Awakened were conducting precision shooting with demon-hunting mana guns from atop the castle walls, while Awakened Guards organized raid teams and advanced outside the castle.
Regular soldiers were also frantic.
Medics ran around with emergency rescue kits, and inside the castle, supply unit trucks moved to transport supplies.
War wasn’t breaking out in all areas of the Great Wall of China.
The central point of the castle walls, about a 50km section, was the most intense.
Countless numbers of demons had swarmed in.
“Flying demons!”
“Prepare interceptor missiles!”
“We’re out of crystal bullets! How much longer for ammunition supply?”
“Just wait a bit! Coming now.”
“Raid Team 103 return complete, Raid Team 105 ready for shift change!”
“Casualties occurred. Medic! Medic! Where are you?”
“Elite demon appeared 5km southwest! Coordinates sent. Special Raid Team deployment needed.”
If it were human versus human warfare, there would at least be time to rest during lulls, but in war against demons, there was no such thing.
With the Black Demon Dragon’s continued northward advance, demons also kept streaming in lines.
The Chinese land, abandoned and ruined by humans, was practically one giant demon concentration zone.
Combat continued day and night.
There was no time to sleep.
At this point, everyone should have collapsed from exhaustion, but the effects of Taehong Saengibulkkun were truly dramatic.
“When the war ends, I’m going to buy this by the box and eat it every single day.”
“When Saengibulkkun hits the market, you won’t even get a chance to buy it, right?”
“Right? Sigh, can’t even steal it since it’s military supplies.”
“Eat a lot while they’re giving it for free.”
The medics dedicated to emergency rescue too.
“Don’t even need bandages. One Saesalssukssuk does everything.”
“Is that all? Thanks to Taehong Recovery Medicine, casualties are almost at zero level.”
“Really, Taehong Bio is doing this entire war by itself.”
But no one could predict when the war would end.
Because the Beyond Elite Black Demon Dragon’s northward advance showed no signs of stopping.
At Reconnaissance Headquarters monitoring the Black Demon Dragon, only sighs could be heard day after day.
“Sigh, doesn’t it seem like its speed has gotten faster?”
“Damn it! This fucking bastard!”
“…At this rate, it’ll come all the way to Beijing.”
“Don’t say such unlucky things!”
One day passed, two days passed, three days passed, but its northward advance continued.
Then one day.
“Huh?”
The Surveillance Officer rubbed his eyes once more and checked the monitor.
“Good… heavens…”
What the hell was this?
“Am I going crazy right now?”
I must be seeing hallucinations.
An unbelievable situation was unfolding.
* * *
The toxic energy explosion, where poison mastery grows dramatically, occurs in three stages.
The first is when Honweonmusangdokryeongong reaches the transformation stage, namely 7-star, the second is 10-star great completion, and the last is when one comprehends the Toxic Spirit.
That’s why even at 8-star, and even when rising to 9-star, no toxic energy explosion occurred.
It grew very quietly.
“Hmm.”
Tae-ju opened his eyes underground.
It had been 5 days since he entered.
‘Now I’m 9-star.’
One stage remained until great completion.
‘That was almost a disaster.’
Originally, he had planned to collect poison and rise to 9-star in a thoroughly controlled place.
As soon as the protective charm’s effect ended, he came into contact with the Beyond Elite Black Demon Dragon’s poison, and an unintended toxic energy reaction occurred.
He was attacked at his most vulnerable moment and could have died if things went wrong.
‘Well, anyway, it worked out well in the end.’
But there’s no guarantee this won’t happen again, so I need to always be careful.
“Ah, right!”
What about Ilisambaeyi?
Purr, purr-purr.
He’s sleeping so well, even snoring.
Tae-ju carefully stroked the sleeping one’s head.
“You’re all healed. Thank goodness.”
Even without stepping forward, there would have been no problem…
This was the one who had been trembling with fear of the Beyond Elite magical beast even inside the backpack.
To throw himself forward to save me.
“When are you going to wake up?”
Being here for so long, I’m getting thirsty and hungry.
I opened the Infinite Space and took out a Seondo to munch on.
“Do you want one too?”
I took out another one and brought it close to the sleeping cat’s nose.
Instantly!
Sniff sniff, after smelling it, Ilbaek opened his eyes wide and swallowed the peach in one bite.
“Meow!”
Chomp chomp chomp chomp.
He devoured it frantically.
“Meooow?”
Ibaek-i also appeared.
“Yeah, you eat one too.”
Naturally, Sambaek-i too.
“Miaaa…”
Every time I give them, I have to give 3 at once.
But what’s so precious about mere Seondo?
“Hmm, how many are left? One, two, three, four…”
20 remained.
“Quite a lot left.”
Right at that moment!
Zzzirrrrr…
“Oh!”
The sparkling Shared Warehouse.
When I checked the items.
“Hahaha, just how many are these?”
The Seondo that Danggumak sent looked like at least over 100.
Tae-ju immediately took out the items.
And put the return gifts he had prepared in advance into the Shared Warehouse.
It’s good that the Shared Warehouse has grown bigger so I can put in more.
What Danggumak requested was more video content and snacks, drinks, instant foods, and canned goods to eat while watching movies.
Besides that, I also bought one more Elite mana crystal electric generator.
One more 4K beam projector and portable screen, power strips to connect electricity, cables, chargers.
Even several luxury bags.
I’m not sure if there will be any use for them, but they’re expensive.
I stuffed all kinds of sweets like chocolate into the bags too.
‘Should I read the letter first?’
I read it carefully, wrote a reply, and finally checked the items.
“…Wow!”
Besides the Seondo, Danggumak had sent one more thing.
“Ten Thousand Li Flying Sword!”
It’s actually a sword that a Swordsman used to ride and roam around.
Even treasures have their hierarchy.
This Swordsman’s sword is of a different class from the Divine Spirit Flying Blade worth 600 Seondo.
Flying through the sky is just one of its additional functions; it was faithful to the sword’s original purpose.
It pierces and cuts through anything.
But Danggumak apologized for sending just a sword.
There’s no need to apologize, but… of course I understand that sentiment too.
Tae-ju is also almost a complete novice when it comes to swordsmanship.
The only sword technique he knows is the Three Talents Sword Method.
‘Wait a minute…’
The Beyond Elite Black Demon Dragon’s northward advance.
With the Ten Thousand Li Flying Sword, I might be able to stop it.
And furthermore.
“Ilbaek, no, Ibaek!”
“Meooow?”
“Do you want to get revenge? Against that guy?”
“Kyarung!”
He says he wants to.
“Are you confident you won’t run away? The important thing is an unbreakable spirit.”
“Kyarrrrrrr!”
“Good, alright. Let’s do it!”
Instantly!
Pop!
Ilisambaeyi transformed into the Three-Headed White Tiger.
Puaaaaaaaak!
Breaking through the dirt, they immediately rose to the surface.
The massive main body.
“You’ve gotten bigger than before.”
Not only bigger, but like me, his power had also grown by one stage.
Is it thanks to eating the Seondo?
Or did he evolve after overcoming a life-threatening crisis?
Even at a glance, the transformed Three-Headed White Tiger’s majesty was tremendous.
“Not yet. Go back.”
Swoosh!
The Three-Headed White Tiger transformed back into a cat.
Tae-ju activated the tracking talisman.
‘It went quite far.’
First, he fed his blood to the Thousand-Mile Flying Sword.
“Come here.”
While picking up Baekho who had transformed into Ilbaek.
Float, float.
Tae-ju mounted the sword that was hovering low above the ground.
“Let’s go!”
“Meow!”
Whoooosh!
The Thousand-Mile Flying Sword shot forward at sonic speed.
Like Sun Wukong riding on his cloud.
Tae-ju was confident he could catch that creature.
Though it was an incredibly strong beast, conversely its weaknesses were also clear.
First, that creature was too slow.
If he could just neutralize the qi barrier, it would be like a giant target.
After flying for a while, he could see the Black Demon Dragon ahead.
He checked his Reverse Dragon Technique and Bone Shrinking Art.
“Ready?”
“Growl!”
“Good, bite!”
“Roar!”
Ilisambaeyi jumped straight down from the sword.
“Don’t forget 30 seconds! You have to escape before 30 seconds pass!”
“Meow!”
Swoooosh!
The Three-Headed White Tiger transformed into its true form as soon as it fell.
“Growl!”
Using gravity and mass, it crushed the Black Demon Dragon’s body.
Crash!
“Kuooooooo!”
The Black Demon Dragon roared in surprise at the sudden aerial strike attack.
When the Three-Headed White Tiger made contact with Beyond Elite’s terrifying qi barrier, the protective talisman Tae-ju had attached beforehand activated.
A divine protective barrier that prevented any damage for 30 seconds – honestly, this was a cheat item.
30 seconds that could be short or long.
The Black Demon Dragon had to endure the Three-Headed White Tiger’s furious attacks with its body, unable to resist.
“Kraaak!”
Chomp!
The Three-Headed White Tiger mounted the flattened Black Demon Dragon and bit its neck with its mouth.
Crackle!
Qi clashed against qi.
Still lacking in power, the Three-Headed White Tiger’s teeth couldn’t penetrate the tough armored skin.
However, the Three-Headed White Tiger wasn’t alone.
Tae-ju followed, jumping down with his sword in hand.
Whirrr!
The Swordsman’s sword, the Thousand-Mile Flying Sword, was wrapped in clear qi energy.
All kinds of poison, mana, and celestial energy he had absorbed so far were gathered together.
Moreover, it was a divine sword that could cut anything even without qi.
Like stabbing a kitchen knife into tofu.
Without any resistance, the entire blade embedded into the creature’s back.
Stab!
“Kueeeeeeek!”
25 seconds remaining.
Tae-ju gripped the sword handle firmly with both hands and pulled with all his might.
Riiiiip!
The Black Demon Dragon’s back split open like a watermelon.
Though the split was only a small part, it was enough to cause pain.
Finally, the creature rolled around, flipping its massive body.
“Heave!”
He lightly jumped down.
The Black Demon Dragon was a reptilian mutant magical beast.
Like almost all reptiles, its belly skin was weaker than its back.
Taking advantage of the Black Demon Dragon rolling around, the Three-Headed White Tiger bit firmly into the creature’s soft belly with its teeth.
At the same time, it shook its head violently.
Three heads, three sets of teeth, therefore three times the pain the creature experienced.
“Kreeek!”
15 seconds remaining.
The Black Demon Dragon didn’t just take attacks passively either.
It tried striking with its long tongue, wrapping around them, biting with its teeth, or clawing with its talons.
But they were all misses.
The attacks didn’t work.
Also, the creature wasn’t fast.
Could it even escape?
While the Three-Headed White Tiger held the creature in its bite, Tae-ju freely stabbed and slashed everywhere with the Thousand-Mile Flying Sword.
Stab stab stab! Slash! Riiiiip! Crack!
5 seconds remaining.
Tae-ju attached a binding talisman to the bloodied Black Demon Dragon’s body.
And while deploying the Whirlwind Step.
“Retreat now!”
As soon as the order was given, the Three-Headed White Tiger quickly withdrew.
Both of them retreated far away.
The attack stopped, but the Black Demon Dragon continued to struggle.
“Kueeee…”
It screamed.
It tried to flip over and walk forward as if to escape, but realizing it couldn’t move, it hesitated, then collapsed flat on the ground with its limbs spread out.
“…Is it dead?”
Not yet.
It was still wriggling.
Tae-ju was curious.
What would a Beyond Elite magical beast’s mana crystal look like?
