The Anti-Intellectualism Demon King’s World Invasion - Chapter 77

Episode 77

“Who dares to touch my body?”

The snake looked back, but the crane had already turned around and was heading in the opposite direction.

“rising!”

My shouts caused the hoist to pull, and I was lifted up to just below the crane runway.

Then Jinman stopped the crane.

The tower crane, which was already slightly tilted to begin with, tilted another 15 degrees after two sharp turns.

If the ropes had not been connected to the surrounding tower trains and Namsan Tower, it would probably have tilted more.

I wonder how long the crane can hold.

Considering the foundation is filled with trash, it would probably collapse after two or three more high-speed rotations.

Anyway, I have to settle this before then, otherwise I’ll end up in that snake’s belly.

Compared to the giant guy, I was the size of a normal human, so the snake couldn’t figure out what was going on right away.

But soon enough, the eerie reptilian eyes found me hanging from the crane hook.

“Is that you? The one who hurt my back?”

“Hey! It’s me!”

One hand was holding the rope, so he waved the hand holding the golden shield.

“No, that’s… … .”

“Oh. I see. That’s it. The scales of the gold dragon.”

Surprised by my answer, the snake’s torn eyes widened.

“No, how about that?”

“Think about it. How did you get it?”

“Uh, that’s… … .”

Imoogi hesitated like a child who was confused about the answer to his teacher’s question.

“If you don’t know, I’ll give you a hint. What kind of dragon would give up its precious scales for someone else? Of course, it would guard them with all its might. So how did you get it? You got the answer, right?”

“No. That can’t be. A human can’t be a dragon slayer. Are you lying?”

“Does this sound like a lie? Then check if it’s true!”

I held my golden shield forward.

The man’s eyes grew wide as he looked at the golden shield, and his cobra-like neck swelled.

And he stuck his head out towards me to get a closer look.

Okay, we’re almost there.

I looked to the side without turning my head, only moving my eyes.

Bomi was seen holding a bow that was almost as tall as her and pulling the string.

Bomi was on the observatory deck of Namsan Tower.

However, the snake could not notice him because he was hiding behind a pillar.

The head of the snake that was reaching out towards me came into Bomi’s range.

At that moment, with a ‘whoosh!’ sound of the wind cutting through, a long arrow over a meter long flew towards the Imoogi’s eye.

The snake hurriedly closed its eyes, but because the distance was so close and its eyes were wide open, it was a step too late.

“iced coffee!”

The snake screamed in pain.

At the same time I shouted.

“Jump! Bomi!”

Bomi ran as fast as she could and jumped from the observation deck.

Bomi’s safety belt loop was already attached to the rope connected to the tower crane next door.

And the seat belt loop had a roller device added to it.

Bomi quickly descended the rope as if she was on a zip line.

In an instant, we were close to the tower crane next door.

As I applied the brakes for landing, the rope shook violently with a ‘thud’ sound.

“These damn guys.”

The enraged Imugi slammed its torso toward Namsan Tower, blood flowing from its stabbed eyes.

Namsan Tower tilted sharply and the ropes swayed.

Bomi fell with a big drop as if she was riding a roller coaster, and then bounced back up.

If you make a mistake, the rope might break and you might fall.

To divert the Imoogi’s attention, I immediately went into attack.

“Jinman! High-speed rotation!”

Jinman spun the crane at high speed again.

As the crane spun around, my body tilted outward again along with the hook and floated up.

It flew towards the snake, making a ‘boong~’ sound.

“consolation!”

“Down!”

“Okay! Okay!”

He had Yeonshin Jinman adjust the height of the crane.

While calculating the landing point, he loosened and tightened the rope connected to the hook.

Because a pulley was attached to the waist, the height of the rope could be quickly adjusted.

Jinman slowed down as I approached the Imoogi.

I raised the rope a little, made the final adjustments, and bent my knees to brace for the impact of landing.

And the moment it reached the Imoogi’s chest, he thrust his shield in with all his might.

“iced coffee!”

The snake was so surprised that it stopped itself from striking the Namsan Tower.

The voice of the bewildered Imoogi was heard, different from when he attacked the back.

“What! You again? Where did you stab me? Hey! You! You punk! No way!”

“Oh. Right. I came here to poke at your weak point. But this is a little off. Wait a minute.”

When I raised my head, I saw something like a dot above me.

That spot, faded but white, unlike his glossy, ash-colored skin, was his weak point.

The dot, which was about the size of a window, was incredibly small compared to the giant snake’s body.

That’s why even if you hear about weaknesses, it’s not easy to find out.

The landing was slightly off because of the wind.

It’s not that far though, so we’ll be able to get there soon.

I took out my trident and climbed up, alternating between stabbing the golden shield and the trident as if I was rock climbing.

The snake lowered its head deeply and tried to grab me.

He opened his mouth and rushed towards my chest, but he bit my flesh right next to mine.

“iced coffee!”

The snake screamed in pain.

A hole suddenly appeared in the skin that was so hard.

Then why do you harm yourself?

Perhaps my eyesight was off, and I had misfocused.

“Hey, man!”

The snake looked annoyed and tried to attack again.

At that moment, a ‘Pishung’ arrow flew into the snake’s one remaining eye.

The guy was startled and turned his head away to avoid it.

“Again! Aiming at me. Where are you, you punk!”

Smoke rose from the snake’s nose, perhaps because it was angry.

Imoogi looked at Namsan Tower, but Bomi had already escaped to the tower crane next to it.

Bomi fired another arrow while firmly anchoring herself to the tower crane truss structure.

“Do you think that kind of playful attack will work again?”

The snake opened its mouth and breathed flames.

The flying arrow instantly turned to ash like a matchstick burned by a torch.

Bomi managed to fly away just before the flames reached her, and slid down the rope toward the tower crane controlled by Jinman.

Thanks to Bomi’s delay, we finally reached the point.

The mole was slightly soft compared to the rough and hard skin.

I tried stabbing it with a knife just to test it out.

There was a slight bruise, but the knife did not penetrate at all.

Hey! What is this? You said it was a weakness, but it doesn’t seem to be any different from other skin.

If you’re so determined to betray someone just by hearing the sound of weakness, shouldn’t you have dug deep enough to use a toothpick?

How did those people plan on conquering something so difficult?

Could this weakness also be a trap set by the Governor?

When people get excited and focus their attacks on your weaknesses, you hit the traitors from behind.

If it’s the governor and his subordinates, they’re such bad guys.

But, although weak, I felt a pulse-like vibration at some point.

That means, as the dying man said, there is a heart inside.

If you blow that up, it’s game over.

Even if it’s a trap, it won’t work on me.

Because these are there.

I put my shield and trident in.

As I was going in with a whoosh, it was definitely weaker here than on other skin.

I thought it might be a trap, but the governor probably didn’t think there would be someone with both the gold dragon’s scales and the mermaid’s trident.

But here it is. Hehe.

I dug into the dot, giggling.

A hole was dug in like a tunnel.

“Ahh! This guy!”

The snake shook its body and screamed in pain.

It seemed like he was trying to throw me off, but I stuck my trident in and held my body in place.

And he scratched his skin with a shield.

This reminds me of when we were selling trenches in the military.

I’m also good at digging.

Let’s dig a little deeper, the digging becomes easier because there is more flesh.

Instead, it had a strong, rancid smell that was hard to bear.

When the snake couldn’t shake me off no matter how much it shook, it breathed flames toward its own chest.

I felt something like hot air behind my back, so I hurriedly spread out my golden shield behind me.

Flames poured in like embers through the gap that the golden shield could not block, but other than a slight soot to the head, there was no major damage.

Instead, the strong smell was replaced by the smell of well-cooked meat, which made it more pleasant.

“iced coffee!”

Outside, the screams of the snake could be heard.

This guy seems to be a bit of a jokester.

Isn’t it? It must hurt since your insides are on fire.

Then I won’t be able to shoot fire next time.

I dug the tunnel again.

This time, I used a trident to increase my speed.

But the more I sell, the bigger the trident seems to get.

When it had grown to the size of a field shovel, it finally reached the Imoogi’s heart.

I felt the tunnel shaking.

It seemed like the Imoogi guy knew that I had reached his vital organs.

“Wow!”

It’s like he’s shaking his body and retching, trying to spit me out.

But I wasn’t in the digestive tract.

Hey! If our unit members or ordinary people who were eaten by the Imoogi guy weren’t digested, wouldn’t they be able to escape?

We’ll know the results once we kill this guy.

I stabbed the trident into the guy’s heart.

Then my heart shrank as if the air had gone out of it.

It’s like a trident sucking the blood out of my heart.

The trident turned red and grew almost as large as a spear.

The heart, completely shrunken, stopped.

And it felt like the balance was broken and I was tilting.

I clutched the trident embedded in my heart.
