7. Roar of the Azure Dragon (6)

 

This time the movement was much clearer.

 

Scale-like afterimages of the Blue Dragon appeared for a moment before disappearing.

 

That was a signal that the main body was adjusting its posture toward us.

 

Suddenly I-seo let out a small groan.

 

It was very faint, but I noticed it immediately.

 

I carefully looked at him past the rocks.

 

His shoulders were trembling slightly.

 

“I-seo.”

 

I called out quietly.

 

He clenched his teeth tightly.

 

“Hali… I… my senses are too open.”

 

That was a dangerous sign.

 

Awakening rising was good, but if senses opened too much during battle, it could absorb unnecessary energy and cause confusion.

 

The current Azure Dragon Dungeon was especially dangerous with poison and water pressure acting simultaneously.

 

I took out another potion from my bag.

 

It was a stabilizing potion that temporarily suppressed bodily confusion.

 

It was still in the experimental stage so I couldn’t give too much, but now was the necessary timing.

 

“Drink this quickly.”

 

I-seo took a deep breath and carefully drank it.

 

I felt his chaotically fluctuating energy settle down a bit.

 

His eyes also focused a little better than before.

 

“I… I’m better now.”

 

He said quietly.

 

Han Seong suddenly raised his hand upward.

 

That was a signal not to move right now.

 

We immediately stopped completely.

 

Soon after, the dungeon ceiling shook with a tremor.

 

It was the sound of something massive sliding along the ceiling.

 

Part of the Blue Dragon’s body was passing right above us.

 

The movement was very slow, but the sense of weight was transmitted directly.

 

I held my breath.

 

The subtle water pressure rising now made my ears feel stuffy.

 

My heart rate was increasing.

 

The oppressive feeling was extreme just from the Blue Dragon’s presence being right in front of us.

 

Han Seong spoke so quietly it was barely audible.

 

“It’s passing by. Don’t move yet.”

 

I-seo closed his eyes and regulated his energy.

 

He was feeling the Blue Dragon’s energy almost directly.

 

To the extent that it was becoming a burden.

 

Blue light brushed past below the ceiling.

 

A short, low rumble followed after it.

 

And then the feeling of it slowly moving away.

 

I quietly exhaled.

 

Finally I could catch my breath.

 

But that was the moment.

 

The Blue Dragon’s energy, which I thought had moved away, suddenly swelled rapidly again.

 

It surged toward us violently like a returning wave.

 

Han Seong’s eyes widened as he shouted.

 

“Everyone back!”

 

I reflexively jumped backward.

 

The rocks cracked with a loud noise.

 

Blue light flashed once more before my eyes.

 

The Blue Dragon’s attack struck toward us again.

 

We were all pushed back toward the wall again, taking defensive positions.

 

A real collision was about to begin.

 

The Blue Dragon’s energy burst forth like an explosion.

 

It was a cold, heavy force like pressure that chilled the blood.

 

I tried to steady my breathing with my back against the wall, but my heart was beating rapidly.

 

This wasn’t a simple threat but intentional pressure.

 

Han Seong moved first.

 

He sliced through the energy that sharply stirred the air, cutting it in half.

 

Darkness briefly clung thinly to the tip of his sword.

 

That was a signal that his power was rising in earnest.

 

I-seo, conversely, lowered his body and felt for the energy on the floor with his fingertips.

 

Blue mana mixed with moisture was rising from the floor.

 

The pressure mixed with poison and water depth dominated this entire section.

 

Reading that wasn’t easy.

 

But I-seo was doing it.

 

I gripped my bag strap tightly again.

 

Recovery potions, detox potions, stamina potions.

 

What was needed in this dungeon was all similar.

 

They were only general potions I’d made since I couldn’t put in anything special.

 

But that was becoming the most important thing right now.

 

A low cry was heard from the distance.

 

The sound of a massive creature twisting its body underwater.

 

I had a strong feeling that rumble would soon turn into an attack.

 

The Blue Dragon was the type that repeated straight-line attacks multiple times.

 

If you endured that, the pattern would change from behind.

 

We were just before that turning point now.

 

Han Seong raised his hand to give a signal.

 

We each moved beside the rocks.

 

We needed to hide our bodies while reducing the attack angle.

 

I took a breath and concentrated.

 

I checked the number of potions in my bag with my fingers while waiting for the necessary moment.

 

Blue light fluttered once greatly.

 

That was the signal for the Blue Dragon’s tail attack.

 

A strike mixed with wind and water surged like a massive semicircle.

 

I pressed low to the floor and barely dodged.

 

The wind that grazed my back stung hotly. Han Seong gritted his teeth and met it head-on.

 

His blade trembled as it pushed back the blue energy.

 

He clenched his teeth and was pushed back one step.

 

But he maintained his balance.

 

The important thing was that he had blocked this attack.

 

I-seo almost simultaneously cut off the energy from the opposite side.

 

His hand movements were quick, as if blocking the flow of poison in the rock crevices.

 

The blue energy under his feet temporarily stopped.

 

It was an action that briefly helped blur the Blue Dragon’s senses.

 

This dungeon’s environment itself was advantageous to the monster.

 

If we can shake that even a little, we’ll get a chance to counterattack.

 

I crawled toward the two of them and spoke in a low voice.

 

“Both of you, wait a moment, here.”

 

I quickly pulled out a recovery potion and an energy stabilizing potion, one each.

 

Han Seong caught his breath and took the potion, drinking it.

 

His hands trembled, but his eyes definitely became clearer.

 

I-seo also exhaled deeply and drank the stabilizing potion.

 

When he opened his eyes again, the color of his pupils had become slightly deeper.

 

The awakening threshold was becoming increasingly clear.

 

That’s when it happened.

 

A second roar echoed from the distance.

 

This one was deeper and faster than before.

 

The Blue Dragon’s main body was finally about to come into view.

 

The rocks shook.

 

It felt as if the entire dungeon was trembling.

 

The Blue Dragon had raised its body high above the water.

 

Its massive form was casting a shadow over the passage above.

 

I swallowed hard.

 

The Blue Dragon’s eyes turned toward us.

 

Its gaze was too distinct to consider it unintelligent.

 

This creature was aware of us.

 

Han Seong spoke in a low voice.

 

“Hali, get further back.”

 

I followed his instruction and crouched lower behind the rock.

 

The Blue Dragon’s first luminous attack pattern was about to begin.

 

To dodge it accurately, we needed to read the timing of its attack.

 

Han Seong and I-seo were already analyzing its movements.

 

Blue energy gathered around the Blue Dragon’s mouth.

 

Blue mist spread like breath.

 

That was poison gas.

 

One breath of it would stiffen the body within seconds.

 

I immediately pulled out three antidote potions.

 

“If the poison gas comes in, drink this right away! Hold your breath!”

 

I-seo answered.

 

“Got it!”

 

Han Seong nodded silently.

 

He held his breath and lowered his stance.

 

The blue mist rolled toward us.

 

The closer it came, the more it felt like my vision was distorting.

 

I pressed my face against the rock and held my breath for a moment.

 

The Blue Dragon’s poison gas reads human breath.

 

Both movement and breathing.

 

As the mist swept past the rock, blue light flickered from I-seo’s body.

 

His awakening was rising.

 

As if his unique transformation ability was responding to the poison gas.

 

‘Just hold on a little longer.’

 

The poison gas spread to the end of the passage and then slowly began to disappear.

 

That moment was the first counterattack timing.

 

Han Seong raised his body.

 

Darkness gathered on his sword.

 

I-seo also moved simultaneously and began controlling the energy from the floor.

 

The two’s movements synchronized perfectly.

 

And I sensed that a second collision was about to occur.

 

The second roar was completely different from the first.

 

It was a feeling that shook from beneath the bones.

 

The air seemed to split as waves rang out like metal.

 

This was the signal that the Blue Dragon was entering its full attack pattern.

 

Han Seong was the first to charge out.

 

The tip of his sword sharply cut through the blue mist as it extended forward.

 

He caught the rhythm perfectly.

 

He leaped briefly toward the Blue Dragon’s neck area and blocked the attack angle.

 

He had to block a massive wave with his small body.

 

Right behind him, I-seo moved.

 

The blue poison gas flowing along the floor writhed again beneath his feet.

 

He grasped the energy with his fingertips as if suppressing it.

 

Blue light spread from the back of his hand.

 

He pushed the pressure back in reverse while suppressing it.

 

The Blue Dragon’s senses wavered for a moment.

 

I held my breath and rummaged through my bag, pulling out three more potions.

 

Enhanced recovery, poison mitigation, and short-term endurance boost.
