Jjujung–!
As if a god descended, a purple pillar of light wrapped around Kuzgunak’sh’sh’sh’sh’sh’sh’s body.
The reason Leeha needed Sage Hyein was not simply to penetrate the space.
『W-wh-what is this?
– movement stop? You human- You humans- I-』
It was to fix the ‘target’ perfectly and securely.
It is a complete stop magic that was also eaten by the gold dragon who was good at magic. Even more so, this time it was more effective than the time when it was used on Bailephus.
It couldn’t completely bind the dragon’s spirit, but it was enough to keep the body bound for more than 10 seconds.
The red dragon’s body, which had narrowed the distance of 2km in an instant using acrobatics, froze in the air.
Now, it was no longer possible to ascend, descend, or roll. And the distance between the red dragon and Leeha was only 100m.
It was a position where they could see each other’s expressions.
“Did you ask if I could hit you earlier? You red lizard!”
Click-!
Leeha quickly pulled the bolt.
A soft light from the magazine rose up the barrel of the Black Bass.
The dragon heart bullet was positioned to come out as the second bullet from the start.
It was a strategy similar to the one he used to deal with Bailephus.
After attracting the red dragon with the first bullet, he called Sage Hyein in order to tie down the bastard’s body.
『This bastard- no matter what you do, the queen’s-』
“Shut up.”
After creating such a thorough and certain situation to tear out the dragon heart!
“This is Blaugrunn’s revenge.”
Baaaaaaang-
The bronze dragon’s small bullet made from the dragon heart covered a short distance of less than 100m in an instant.
The dragon heart bullet that pierced the Kuzgunak’sh’sh’sh’sh’sh’sh breast scales, which Bailephus marked, collided with the red dragon’s dragon heart.
『———————-』
It wasn’t blood that flowed from the punctured chest of the red dragon. Instead of red blood, white light began to leak through the hole.
『You have completed the quest ‘Revenge of the Bronze Dragon Blaugrunn’.』
『You have leveled up.』
『You have leveled up.』
『You have leveled up.』
“Uwaaaaaa!?”
Shaaaaa!
The white light radiating from Leeha’s body did not stop.
The quest notification and level up notifications made babam babam sounds in between-! Even the sound effect of the achievement notification shook Leeha’s head.
“Haha, to grow stronger like this…… it can’t be helped that I would catch up with everyone.”
Collaborating with an ancient dragon to catch another ancient dragon……
Hyein smiled slightly at Leeha’s flustered face.
White light radiated from his body.
It meant that just one comple halt gave him, a semi-ranker, enough experience to raise his level.
“Still, I’m glad the result is good.”
Hyein swept his chest and checked his level. He had also tested with the gold dragon several times to break Kuzgunak’sh’sh’sh’sh’sh’sh space lock magic.
They held a lot of operational meetings, including Baileipus, since the following included Hyein in this operation.
They couldn’t find the final sniping spot, but they worked hard to adapt to wherever they went, and this was the result.
“How many levels will he get- huh?”
After he managed to get rid of the level up light effect, Leeha looked and saw new people.
“Ha Leeha-ssi, who are those people-” Hyein asked with a smile, but Leeha couldn’t afford to do the same.
He saw an old man dressed in black and a white lizardia approaching from a distance.
“B-Blue-Bluebeard! A fragment of the demon king and the ranker Faust!”
Click-!
Leeha immediately loaded the bolt and fired.
A loud gunshot rang out, but failed to hit the target. Bluebeard and Faust moved at a breakneck speed, closing the distance.
They were flying faster than Kuzgunak’sh’sh’sh’sh’sh’sh was on the ground! ‘Can Faust do that because of Bluebeard’s power?’
Leeha: Bailephus!
Bailephus: I know! Hold on a little! Kuzgunak’sh’sh’sh’sh’sh’sh’s dragon heart hasn’t completely destroyed, so his magic still-
It was impossible for Bailephus to not notice their black mana, but he couldn’t move immediately as he was still disarming the barrier. Leeha couldn’t hear the gold dragon’s words until the end.
Because Bluebeard, who was approaching, suddenly leaped towards Kuzgunak’sh’sh’sh’sh’sh’sh.
‘Damn it!’
Click, baaaaang——-!
Leeha fired another shot, but it brushed past Bluebeard’s collar. Even using the stabilizer and joint locking skill, with his accuracy, range, change of aiming point, etc, all raised, that was the limit.
“Stop it, Bluebeard!”
“The young man that time with Crolang? Heh, well, if it wasn’t for the three musketeers, there’s no way the attack could have been successful at that distance.”
Only then did Bluebeard look down at Leeha.
It meant that he wasn’t even looking at the one who attacked him. Of course, he only checked Leeha’s level for a short time, but he didn’t come close and attack.
Although he still floated in the air with the power of mana, Bluebeard approached the limp red dragon and brandished his staff.
Skeuk-! With a shout, Kuzgunak’sh’sh’sh’sh’sh’sh’s neck was cut.
“W-what?”
“Teamkill?”
Leeha and Hyein was also shocked.
Bluebeard casually stuffed Kuzgunak’sh’sh’sh’sh’sh’sh’s head into his suit pocket. Like a dimensional pocket, the red dragon’s head was sucked into it.
“Now, that is enough Kuzgunak’sh’sh’sh’sh’sh’sh. I did what you asked.”
『That—–….follow me–』
“Tsk tsk, didn’t I say you have to listen to this old man from the beginning. Well, anyway, you guys don’t worry about the queen and get some rest.”
『……-』
Kuzgunak’sh’sh’sh’sh’sh’sh, who slowly fell down to the floor and collapsed, could no longer be called a dragon.
His dragon heart was broken, his mana leaked out, and his head was missing.
The middle of his long neck had been severed, leaving only a short neck unsuitable for its size.
Literally, only the dead body, the body that was about to go into eternal rest, remained.
Looking at the red dragon, who couldn’t speak because his dragon heart couldn’t be maintained, Bluebeard seemed to have thought of something, ddak-! He snapped his finger.
“oops, you can’t even rest. In exchange for doing you a favor, you agree for your body to be of use. right?”
『-!?! What- 一』
“What kind of foolishness, shouldn’t I be paid my wage? Anyway, it’s been a lot of trouble for over 5,000 years. Please do your best for me in the future.”
A sinister smile appeared in Bluebeard’s face.
“Faust!”
“Yes, Count-nim!”
“Get this.”
“Understood.”
At that time, the 8th ranked necromance, Faust, stepped forward. Black grains entered the white lizardia’s body. Both Leeha and Hyein knew that he was using necromancy skills. And that it had to be stopped.
“I won’t let you!”
Click-!
Leeha immediately loaded the bolt. He was at most 150m away from Faust, it was a distance that Leeha could hit even with his eyes close.
Click- Baanng—–!
But the gunshot was strange. The Black Bass’ bullet, which bounced faster than sound, did not reach Faust.
“Aigoo, my shoulder……. Oh no, the handle of my cane is dented, isn’t it? How are you going to pay for this, young man?”
It was because Bluebeard, standing in front of Faust, raised his staff and deflected Leeha’s bullet.
Bluebeard frowned at the silver handle of the staff, but even that seemed terrifying to Leeha.
How should he deal with that? There was also a fortunate point for Leeha. It was that the being that could deal with him had just lifted Kuzgunak’sh’sh’sh’sh’sh’sh barrier and was on his way.
『Le, you bastaaaard! Are you really going to disturb a dragon’s rest! No matter how much Kuzgunak’sh’sh’sh’sh’sh’sh is my nemesis! Disrupting a dragon’s rest is unforgivable as a dragon!』
“Aiguu, your wrinkles won’t go away if you wear a frown at that age, my dung fly friend.”
『Shut up! Flame strike!』 “
“Tsk tsk, something that doesn’t work on red doesn’t -”
“Me too!”
Click-! Leeha couldn’t just sit still and watch.
Fifteen flame strikes fired from Bailephus and shot toward Bluebeard, and Leeha pulled the trigger on Black Bass just in time for the attack.
It took less than 0.2seconds for a bullet travelling at 830m per second to cross 150m.
Ba—-Baaaang——!
‘He couldn’t avoid it! Right!’
Leeha’s bullet apparently hit first. He could clearly see Bluebeard’s short body staggering. Moreover, a pouring rain of fire followed.
He wasn’t sure if he didn’t dodge or if he was hit, but it was certain that the attack had reached him anyway.
Pyuuuu…
In the aftermath of the attack, even when the smoke was pouring out, Bailephus did not stop.
『Give Kuzgunak’sh’sh’sh’sh’sh’sh’s head, le!』
Shiiik, the gold dragon’s huge body launched a physical charge and the smoke was scattered.
The enchantment that covered his claws scratched where Bluebeard was. Even through the smoke, his silhouette was clearly visible.
‘Tsk-’
Baaaang—!
However, all it did was a loud reverbation, like hitting aluminum.
“Cough, cough This, this! Are you like this because you grew old together? What are you doing, Bailephus!”
『What are you going to do with it! How can you disturb his rest!』
“What a sad thing to say about disturbing rest. I’ve decided to grant him one last favor. Is it really that big of a deal to get paid for my hard work?”
Bluebeard shrugged his shoulders.
The mana coming out of the cane created a translucent veil. It was something that even the gold dragon couldn’t penetrate, and of course, Faust, who actively used his skills, stood behind it.
“Faust! Faust! Aren’t you a user? What are you doing! What are you doing cooperating with the demon king army?!”
Leeha looked at him and shouted, but Faust only glanced at Leeha and did not responsd.
No, it wasn’t that he didn’t answer at all.
The pure white lizard smiled while looking down, and a skill was cast the moment the lizard’s mouth opened.
That alone was enough to understand Leeha’s intention.
『How come you are like this? Don’t you know?』
“Resurrection catacombs!”
When Faust used his skill, the ground where Kuzgunak’sh’sh’sh’sh’sh’sh body laid down was stained black.
And after a while, the texture of the land changed like a swamp and began to swallow the red dragon.
Bailephus’ pupil dilated.
『Resurrection Catacombs! Necromancer! Dispel!』
“Keuk, I’m in front, dispel-.”
Baaaang———! Flash.
“-never-”
Baaaaaang—–! Bam-
Flash.
“- work. Is it that hard to say? Really, isn’t the young man over there supposed to be? What are you attacking me like that?”
Baaaaaang——-! Click
Flash.
Leeha didn’t respond to that and continued to shoot.
(To be continued…)
