Tang-!
As soon as the gunshot sounded, Salome tumbled down the stairs.
I felt the bullet ricocheting off the previously deployed protective shield and passing through the air.
It is now. She snapped her fingers in the direction her bullet came from.
Pajijik – ! The mana around the spot where her finger was aimed changed into electricity.
A miracle that does not shoot electricity from the hand, but directly converts mana from a far away place.
A poncho raincoat was seen fluttering through the flashing electricity. Did you catch it? Salome gritted her teeth and chanted a spell toward where the poncho was.
“It’s done!”
Soon a flash of light and a melting ray illuminated the darkness.
It was noticeably thinner than the one Mahagan used, but instead the beam flew in a curved shape like a snake rather than a straight line.
The opponent seemed to be trying to counterattack, but the melting ray struck him before he could. And inside the poncho that was split in half-
“uh?!”
there was nothing. The moment when a startled Salome jumped up from her seat.
Crash.
The heavy gun barrel pressed gently against the back of her head.
Checkmate. Salome put down her wand and sighed deeply.
“… “If only I had a place to avoid bullets, I would have won.”
“You bitch, then would you have just quietly shot me with a magic gun?”
“… .”
“There is not always cover, so in times like this, you should practice in advance.”
After a short admonition, the muzzle of the gun was moved away from the back of the head. Salome turned her head and looked at her opponent.
Queenie Cowan, the gunner of the squadron warrior party.
She said, twirling her magic gun.
“Once more?”
“… “If I stay here any longer, I won’t be able to return to the dormitory.”
“why? “Because of 100x menstrual cramps?”
“… .”
100 times more menstrual cramps. That meant the side effects I experienced every time I participated in the staircase ordeal. In reality, it was closer to muscle cramps than menstrual cramps, but whatever.
Queenie Cowan said as she put her horse gun on her waist.
“Okay, well, let’s stop here for today. “I’m already getting stronger much faster than expected.”
“… “I don’t really feel it.”
“No matter how much I praise you, it’s still whining.”
Queenie Cowan’s fantasy stabs Salome in the back! He slammed it down and continued speaking.
“Why is it that I keep appearing instead of a saint or a margrave in succession?”
“… .”
“Wow, looking at your expression, it looks like it’s real? this this… The warriors of the previous generation train me directly like this, but I can’t thank them enough, but these bitches… Instead of thinking about becoming stronger as soon as possible, I decided to look after my mother-in-law and father-in-law… .”
“Oh, you’re my mother-in-law! “I don’t have that kind of relationship with the hero!?”
“No, Mr. Gin, you can tell just by looking at the reaction.”
Queenie snorted as if she was dumbfounded and flopped down next to the stairs where Salome was sitting.
Salome gripped her cane tightly and grumbled.
“… “There are already three women, so why would I join them?”
“I don’t know if it’s one, but if it’s three… Isn’t that what three or four is anyway? “Goering and Goebbels are both war criminals.”
“… “No!”
Salome raised her staff and shouted. Instead of scolding her junior for his rudeness, Queenie laughed out loud, baring her teeth.
“What about strong denial?”
“… ?”
“It’s a strong positivity.”
“… .”
“Silence is tacit consent.”
“What crazy talk is that!”
No matter what Salome shouted, Queenie continued giggling.
“Whether it’s dating or love, whatever you do is up to you, but if possible, follow your heart. “Don’t just fail to try and regret it later.”
“… .”
“At least doing something and then regretting it is better than just regretting it.”
Queenie’s expression as she said that was so serious that it was hard to believe it was an illusion.
It was an expression with a story behind it, and Salome quietly recalled the story surrounding the squadron warrior party. Then, Queenie suddenly changed her words.
“No, if you think about it first, it might be better not to do it.”
“… yes?”
“Uh, who are you? “There’s a kid with a strange name in this hero’s party.”
“… What’s your name? “Everyone is strange except me and the hero.”
“Well, that’s right… No, no, that, that… Hong Seti! That’s right, Setti Hong. Since he’s the first, it might be better not to even try.”
Salome raised her eyebrows as if wondering what that meant. In her opinion, Hong Seti was the only sane person in the warrior party.
“… Why Seti?”
“There are only two women who share what they can monopolize. She’s like a complete angel, or she’s like the last wife of the first warrior… … Uh, you don’t seem to know what the metaphor is?”
“… Yeah, I don’t know what you’re talking about. “What is the first warrior’s wife?”
Then, Queenie was surprised.
“You really don’t know? Don’t kids these days read my books? No, aren’t you Ashain? “Why don’t you know this?”
“I haven’t read fairy tales… .”
Queenie interrupted.
“what? Fairytale? Hey bitch, why is my book a fairy tale? “It’s an adventure journal that contains only objective facts!”
“… .”
“This is why things these days… it’s okay! Today is the end! go!”
Before Salome could say anything, Queenie slapped her! I hit him. She was struck so hard that Salome jumped up from her stairs screaming.
And when she looked back, holding her sore buttocks, Queenie had disappeared from nowhere.
‘… After all, a hero’s party is not normal.’
With that thought in mind, the succession of stairs ended and 100 times more menstrual pain hit her body.
***
Tens of minutes later.
Salome, who finally came to her senses after fainting, almost crawled out of the undersea tunnel.
If I had known this would happen, I would have brought the saint.
The problem was that I came alone because I was afraid of being left behind. As she dragged her body, relying on her cane, tears streamed down her face.
Fortunately, I still had the strength to walk, so I arrived at the dragon’s nest without any trouble…
[Wow.]
In the middle of the nest, which had not yet been restored, Orse Ranal was muttering something.
The reason she didn’t say she vomited was because what came out of her mouth was not food, but small jewels.
A teardrop-shaped pearl that exudes an old-fashioned and elegant shine.
Salome, who saw a pearl that was almost the size of a ping-pong ball, asked back without realizing it.
“… “It was a shell dragon, not a water dragon?”
[What kind of crazy thing is that all of a sudden?]
Ranal clicked his tongue as he looked at Salome and then carefully grabbed the pearl with his claws.
And after looking around at the pearl for a while, he let out a snort of joy.
[Isn’t it pretty? No scratches, full of mana… It is the perfect water dragon pearl.]
“… .”
Salome then remembered that it was a Uragan pommel.
Well, I remember it was a part of an incredible weapon and a jewel that Seti entrusted me to repair, but why does that come out of my mouth?
At that moment, Ranal put the jewel in his mouth again. Then he poured the cola, took a gulp, and swallowed the jewel back.
“What are you doing?!”
Is that crazy? Salome’s eyes widened in surprise or not, and Ranal had finished drinking the rest of her cola before speaking.
[Pearls were placed in the stomach to infuse mana. This is how repairs are originally done.]
“… Yeah, really? But wasn’t everything repaired? Why are you swallowing again?”
[That’s it… I do it to give back when it’s important. If I just give it to them, they’ll scold me for not doing anything.]
“… .”
After saying that, the dragon gently handed Salome a 2 liter bottle of cola and said.
[So, what I saw today is a secret. got it?]
Salome looked at the dragon with an astonished expression, and took a sip of cola.
Ranal nodded, seemingly satisfied with the deal. Of course, as soon as Salome left her nest, she immediately wanted to lash out at Seti.
Anyway, Salome took the cola and walked towards the waterway to get out of the nest. And the moment she was about to throw herself into the canal.
Pop! The fin attached to the dragon’s neck rose.
[for a moment.]
“huh? what’s the matter?”
Ranal stopped Salome and narrowed his eyes at the wall of the nest. It looked like a guard dog that sensed an intruder, and the results were not much different.
Ranal said, shaking his fin.
[Someone is coming. There are two people.]
“I guess he’s a sewer manager. don’t mind. “You just have to wear invisibility as usual and pass by.”
[No, no. The sewage manager doesn’t come this far. And above all… It doesn’t even jump in a straight line.]
“… .”
[Seti… No, call Dawn. It’s an intruder.]
“I-I didn’t bring my cell phone?”
As Salome panicked, Ranal, who was on guard, took out his cell phone from between the scales and threw it.
[Don’t you know that cell phones are a necessity for modern people? Like a barbaric Asshain.]
“No, we have to swim into the canal, that’s…” .”
[Stop making excuses, just make a phone call!]
Salome did so. He opened Yong’s cell phone and immediately called Yeo-myeong’s number. But the moment I made contact, the phone suddenly hung up.
So what about Seti? What about Soemiri? She tried sending out random messages. All calls were disconnected as soon as they were connected.
Communication disruption? No, the contact itself is going—
Salome assessed the situation without panicking.
What kind of crazy person would do something like this when Olympia is right around the corner?
What are you aiming for?
I wasn’t aiming for the dragon. What psychopath would use communications jamming to slay a dragon? It was clearly targeting her, and the reason she was targeting herself was – she suddenly remembered her own wallet. A wallet locked with a tight seal spell.
It was only the size of a notebook at most, but it contained photos of the Dumea family, photos of Yeo Myeong from her time as a janitor, and a USB containing top secret information about Korea.
‘It must have come because of the USB. Then the other party is Korea, probably disguised as a filming team to track them down.’
Is this USB important enough to risk its place as the host of the Olympia? Salome chewed her lip and checked the USB.
There was no tracking magic. Then it was tracked by some scent or some other method she didn’t know about, but it wasn’t important right now. Because there was no way to know right now.
[About 100 meters. Looking for a way If you find the waterway, it will come right away.]
Ranal said as he took an attack stance.
Salome quickly shook her head. Looking for Mahagan who will remain in the ordeal of the stairs?
As long as the woman being possessed is a mess, the ghost won’t be of much help. Dismissed.
Transform Ranal and escape the nest together?
It’s useless as long as it’s tracked. Dismissed.
Or escape into a dream ordeal deep in an undersea tunnel?
Once this hideout was discovered and Korea became aware of it, it was over. Dismissed.
The best was to fight the opponent. No, I had to kill him.
But how? She thought, gripping her staff tightly as she ran out of mana on her stairs. Think, think.
[Intruded into the waterway.]
And the moment Ranal gave his ultimatum, he suddenly looked down at his phone.
There was no time to think. She immediately called Yeomyeong.
It didn’t matter if the call wasn’t connected. The very fact that the radio waves reached was important.
One phone call, one more right away, one more.
Rest once, rest again, rest again,
And repeat the call three times again.
A call that seems to send a short radio signal.
That was not knowledge she originally had, but was part of the knowledge that Hitler had inside her when he was a soldier.
Morse code.
Can Dawn understand this? Salome believed it would be so. For someone who knows all kinds of magazine tricks, even a crude signal like this-
[come!]
At that time, Ranal opened his mouth wide and shouted.
In the waterway that is the entrance to the nest! At the same time as the tentacles rose, a strong stream of water spurted out from the dragon’s mouth.
Wow- !
The dragon’s water stream cut through the tentacles like a sharp blade. However, there were too many tentacles rising from the waterway to be cut down with just the water stream.
There were at least dozens of tentacles similar to those of the monster soldiers seen in Seungman City.
Salome continued to talk on the phone with one hand while holding her staff with the other.
There wasn’t much mana left. At best, it only takes one or two major spells to run out.
Can you win? By the time Salome was somewhere between her calm and her fear she was in agony.
Tentacles wrapped around the entrance to the dragon’s nest, and the main body rose above the waterway.
[What is this-]
The thing that rose up with the dragon’s groan was two humans.
To be exact, something that was two humans.
It was a tangle of tentacles and bizarre flesh, and it thudded in a distorted form without any sense of balance, just like the monster that attacked Hiraria! I landed on the nest.
Then, the space where a human stomach would normally be widened wide open, and it moved its sharp teeth and strange tongue and spoke.
[found. bowl.]
‘As expected, they came after me.’
Salome gritted her teeth and raised her mana. Ranal also spurted a stream of water from her mouth again.
But there were too many tentacles that had already entered the dragon’s nest. The half-man, half-monster spewed out intact tentacles and grabbed the dragon’s neck and limbs even as the tentacles were cut off by the water stream.
[You’re lucky. You can hold a bowl and a purpose!]
[Damn it!]
The dragon swung its tail and engaged in hand-to-hand combat. Kugoogung! With the dragon’s roughly repaired nest shaking, Salome rolled to avoid the tentacles raining down on her and prepared her magic.
Fusion Ray? Rapid cooling? Vaporization explosion?
She thought of spells that would produce results with one blow and gathered mana into her staff. And – doo doo doo doo!
I had to spread a shield using my precious mana. This was because three machine guns protruded from the belly of the crazy monster.
[Holy shit, it tickles!]
Hundreds of bullets collided and sparks flew onto the dragon’s scales. The same was true for Salome’s shield.
[Fuck you, get back!]
Perhaps thinking that the situation was going to be difficult, the dragon pushed the monster away and shouted.
Just as Salome was about to say that she couldn’t do that, the tentacle pulled out a mounted rocket launcher from between the flesh.
The fearsome weapon, whose recoil was difficult to control even if an ordinary person mounted it and fired, began firing in the direction where Salome was.
Thong, thong, thong, thong – !!!
With tremendous firepower, the finishing material that had not yet hardened was shattered and fragments flew out. Salome managed to spread her shield to protect herself, while Ranal screamed miserably.
[Hey, you crazy bastard! What are you doing to a place that has just been repaired? Do you know how hard it was to paint that finish?!]
Ranal swung his claws and destroyed the grenade launcher hanging from the tentacle, but it immediately pulled out a new grenade launcher and aimed it.
[Is this Doraemon who completed his military service!?]
Following Ranal’s screams, the grenade launcher fired fire at Salome. Accuracy and all, a tactic that leaves no room for the wizard.
The dragon finally realized that the opponent was targeting Salome and shouted.
[hey! I’ll take my time, so run away!]
If I had any mana left, I would have roasted that guy as a whole, not to mention this grenade. Salome blamed her body for not having the strength to escape.
[evil!!]
Soon, the monster swung its tentacles and pinned Ranal’s body to the wall of the nest, then pointed the grenade launcher’s gun at her.
Salome did not open her shield. Gathering the last of her mana in the face of the threat of her own limbs, perhaps even her head, being blown off.
“Fusing, rays.”
The moment when her staff flashed and the grenade launcher’s muzzle was about to burst into flames.
Pugh!!!
The waterway at the entrance exploded and someone jumped out. He fell down with a splash of water and struck the monster’s neck with his red-stained sword.
The head of the monster with two intertwined heads fell to the floor, and a man covered in water landed in front of Salome.
“… Dawn.”
As soon as Salome called his name, watery golden eyes looked down at her.
“Salome.”
“Yes?”
“I don’t know what the call signal you sent earlier was, but it wasn’t Nazi-style, right?”
“… .”
As the decapitated monster squirmed out of his seat, Salome blurted out a lie without realizing it.
“huh. “It’s not like that.”
