Episode 749. Dragon Lord (1)

The reason we hold an election ceremony to become a Dragon Lord is not simply because we prefer a democratic vote.

It is to receive the essence of each clan and gain recognition from the ‘spirits’ of past lords.

A strong mind and a body that can contain that mind.

Not only endless magic power, but also the rank accumulated over time.

In order to become a Lord, several conditions had to be met equally.

Jinhyeok glanced at the red magic stone in the middle of the rare.

[Yongso (龍沼) ‘Hall of Hocrasha’]

The dragon that inherits the magical power of that magic stone will soon be the next Dragon Lord.

It goes without saying that a dragon that has not been provided with the essence of all its clans will not be able to withstand the forceful absorption of that magic.

For a normal dragon, this would be impossible.

Because it was common for the body to just explode or, if you were lucky, go crazy.

but.

“Mosquitoes!”

Sweet Potato is far from your average dragon.

‘It’s possible.’

I’m sure you can endure it.

“yes?”

“mosquito?”

The sweet potato tilted its head as if it didn’t understand English.

what….

Or else forget it.

Hmm. This kind of mindset is important.

As the saying goes, trying is half the battle. In order to become a pioneer, it was essential to take some risks.

There is a reason why those who pioneer new fields have been misunderstood as crazy since ancient times.

While Jinhyeok was rationalizing, Salacid of the Black Clan was still unable to come out of the panic.

I never imagined that he would sneak in here, hiding inside a dragon’s egg.

Where did their numbers come from?

Did you also know that a trap had been dug and waiting in the capital of Eden?

No, it’s not just that.

Long before that… .

It may have been part of the strategy to put forward a human named Adele.

perhaps.

Perhaps Eddon knew that he would receive the seed of the lake of hell from Lucifer.

‘I’m going crazy. What am I thinking?’

It’s absurd that a mere human can see that far ahead.

But, there was no other way to explain this situation.

‘It was a meaningless question to begin with.’

There was no way to know where the real and the fake began, or how deep into the pit I had fallen.

One thing is certain.

The opponent had a perfect understanding of the dragons’ habits and customs, and had designed a trap that went through several stages using that knowledge.

Assuming that, everything makes sense.

Creepy.

I got goosebumps from the fear and thrill I felt for the first time.

“Crunch.”

“Humans. Prey.”

“Crush it and eat it.”

Of course, the simple-minded twin-headed ogres didn’t realize how dire the situation was. They were only moving based on their instinct to be able to eat their fill.

“No! Stop… .”

Before Salacid’s scream could even end.

Puppupupupup!

There was an explosion.

Bodies, cut into dozens of pieces, lay scattered on the floor.

“Who is eating whom?”

“You don’t understand the topic.”

“There are some strong enemies mixed in as well.”

Abilities with the strongest power, including the soaring sword power, were manifested.

The numbers were overwhelmingly small, but why on earth?

Do you get the feeling that those few people are overwhelming the forces of the entire Dragon Lair?

Salashid twitched his fingers as he looked at the disaster.

‘I have to run away.’

A fight with no chance of winning.

It was clear as day that if he stayed, he would not be able to avoid death.

but.

‘If we abandon this place, we’ll die by their hands anyway.’

There is no way we can just ignore the loss of countless dragon eggs and the ‘Hall of Horcrasha’.

If the end result, death, is the same anyway… .

At the very least, it would be better to protect the pride of the Black Clan.

“entire.”

A number of magic circles appeared around Salasad.

“Kill the invading enemies.”

There are no exceptions.

All the guardians in the lair work together to reduce that number by just one.

[Salasid activates the base-only skill ‘Forgetful Fighting Spirit’!]

[The Guardians’ fear disappears.]

[Living and speculation increase by 250%!]

[The attack stats of Dragon and Demon Tribes increase by +50.]

[Time limit 0H:59M:59S]

[If all time passes, all Guardians affected by ‘Forgetful Will’ will die.]

A drain was created without thinking about the future.

“As expected, the dragon race is worth it.”

Jinhyuk praised Salacid’s decision to fight back.

If by any chance you had chosen to run away, things would have been a lot more troublesome.

It would have been easy to capture this stronghold right away.

The real problem was what happened after that.

[Subspace inventory is opened.]

The will to forget has an overwhelming effect that raises the fighting power of the stronghold to the limit.

But, everything has a trade-off.

A stronghold that pours all its energy into attacking ends up having many vulnerabilities.

Bam.

What fell into Jinhyuk’s hands was a key.

A holy relic that only the owner of the stronghold can use.

‘Master Key to the Labyrinth’.

Crunch!

I stuck the key into the air and turned it clockwise.

Then, numerous runes created cracks.

[A ‘base collision’ occurs!]

Kukukukuku!

Another space began to be created within Dragon Lair.

That’s right, Jinhyuk’s unique stronghold is being summoned as is.

“Keeeeee… .”

“Kee!”

The ownerless shadow plants expressed their joy at seeing Jinhyeok.

“Are you here?”

The temporary master of the labyrinth, Balseter, bowed deeply.

“Ahem. I finished preparing everything perfectly just as you instructed.”

Likewise, Ophelia, the joint temporary maze master, straightened her shoulders.

I feel like my lungs are getting filled with air after wearing my new hat.

“Oh! It’s my brother!”

“We’re here too!”

In addition, there are twin siblings Casey and Jude Law.

“I came to give you strength.”

The strongest force in the martial arts world, Cheonma and the masters of Cheonma Shingyo.

“I heard that the situation is difficult. His Majesty the Emperor has also advised us to remember the favors we have received.”

Even the Empire’s Grand Swordmaster Abraham and his knights.

Even the residents of the middle and lower floors who had agreed to fight together were mobilized.

Salacid’s face turned completely ashen.

“Are you saying that what I did was actually a handshake?”

The last desperate attempt to protect the dragon’s pride ended up in a decision that threatened the race itself.

“Okay, let’s get started.”

Woodduck.

Jinhyuk cracked the joints of his wrist.

***

Edoon and Evelyn, realizing that they had fallen into a trap, immediately gathered all their troops and headed towards where the eggs were.

“Huh!”

“Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.”

Even while flying, swear words kept coming out of my mouth.

I don’t know what kind of trick they did, but the teleportation to Rare didn’t happen.

Because of the unique distortion field and barrier that had been created, it was impossible to determine the coordinates at all.

Eventually, flying directly became the only way.

Booooooo!

Flight at top speed.

It was already at a level where it was difficult for the Black and Red clans to keep up, but there was no intention of slowing down or taking it easy.

perhaps.

“If he had figured out how to inherit the Dragon Lord’s karma in the ‘Hall of Horcrasha’… ”

Evelyn opened her mouth, seeming nervous.

“That can’t be. It’s impossible!”

“I know. I know that too! But, when it comes to that guy, somehow… .”

It might be possible.

I couldn’t bring myself to say those words.

Because the moment it came out of my mouth, it felt like it would become reality.

The two ancient dragons continued their flight in silence.

How much time has passed like that?

Finally, I was able to reach a familiar place.

Kwakwakwakwakwakwa!

A huge beam of light greeted them instead.

The purple mass that passed right next to me was clearly the spit out of a plant on the 50th floor.

“Did you summon them to the base?”

“This is the worst. Seriously.”

I’ve fought in countless stronghold battles, but none of them have made me shiver like this.

An impregnable fortress that no one would dare attempt to breach in the short term.

It will take at least a year of hard work to find a gap.

But, I never thought I’d see it here again.

The addon quickly detected the magic power.

thank god.

The front line has not been breached yet.

Salacid held out for nearly 30 minutes. Thanks to him, we were able to avoid the worst.

[The Destruction Dragon Add-on activates its unique ability, ‘Spiral Vibration’!]

Kwakwakwakwa!

In an instant, the ground buckled like a stick.

A land that rises up in a bumpy manner.

The shockwave that followed swept away the assassins of the martial arts world.

“Eww!”

“Ahhhh!”

Although they were all masters skilled in both new and old methods, they were helpless against the wide-area skills that had an absurd range.

“You’re here!”

Salacid, whose entire body was covered in wounds, discovered two ancient dragons.

“There are multiple magical power reactions in the upper right sky!”

“D. They’re dragons!”

Half a beat later, the Empire’s magic corps discovered the dragons’ presence.

‘You came sooner than I thought.’

Jinhyuk also wet his lips with his tongue as if he felt regret.

just a little.

If I had arrived just 10 minutes later, I could have taken out Salacid and all of his main guardians. However, Salacid’s resistance was unexpectedly strong.

The level of the guardians following him was also one or two levels higher than what was previously known.

This is the result.

“It won’t be easy to get there.”

Cheon Yoo-seong frowned as he looked at the dozens of dragons.

“It’s okay. I called in the stronghold in case the enemy reinforcements arrive.”

There was no denying that it would be a tough fight.

The dragons will also be risking their lives in this fight.

like that.

The final battle of the stronghold war, a battle that will determine the fate of the two forces, has begun.

***

Kwakwakwakwakwakwa!

The raging storm swept towards the base once again.

This time, it was a place where the Empire’s troops were concentrated.

When the armored infantry saw the approaching storm, their whole bodies froze.

Well, that can’t be helped.

Just facing a dragon is enough to require courage that you never had before.

What’s more, he was faced with the blow of an ancient dragon of a much higher level.

Right then.

Woohoo!

Abraham came forward first.

Thick tendons protruding from the forehead and forearms.

The sword, fully charged with aura, cut through the wind.

Tuqwaang!

I barely managed to offset it.

This was possible because the intention was not to kill one person, but to annihilate hundreds.

But even that.

“Coolook!”

Abraham lost his balance and stumbled on the spot.

Blood spurted out along with the cough.

Even defending against a single light attack requires enduring this level of shock.

“Huh?”

A look of surprise appeared in Addon’s eyes.

“You’re quite the knight of the middle class. I see. Did you save your life thanks to the title of Dragon Slayer?”

I heard that there is a benefit to receiving compensation against the Dragon Clan.

I think I’ve killed at least one young dragon from a clan somewhere.

But that’s it.

Parts!

Just lock the target into a single entity and add a little more horsepower and you’re done.

The addon, which had compressed the vibrations into the shape of a pillar, prepared for a second attack.

Since the coordinates have been fixed, you won’t miss it.

“I’ve slashed dragons before, but this is just too much.”

Abraham grabbed his sword with a half-resigned look on his face.

however.

Swish.

“… … !?”

The addon sensed the terrifying murderous intent and immediately turned its head.

Beyond the sky dyed in red, the figure of an absolute being that could never be ignored was visible.

“Stop bullying the weak and filling your petty self-esteem. Let’s just hang out with people who are on the same level.”

Ellis, who had already taken up position behind the addon, blasted the red sphere away.
