The dragon heart bullets in the magazines then changed the magazines and fired five more shots in a row, but Bluebeard’s shield was not broken. One good thing about it is that his shield blinked every time a bullet hit. And Bluebeard was paying close attention to that.
‘Damn it, there’s definitely a reaction but my attack power is weak. The source of the shield was definitely the cane. If I hit the cane one more time…’
Leeha knew exactly where and what to attack.
Bluebeard moved the handle of his cane while pretending to complain to Bailephus and Leeha.
Neither Hyein nor the gold dragon was able to see it but the eyes of a sniper would never miss it.
‘One more time!’
And the magazine changed once more.
The sound of a bullet being loaded as the bolt was pulled was heard, click-! Hearing the sound, Bluebeard’s expression hardened little by little.
“I’m warning you, I won’t stand still if you attack me one more time. I was going to let you off the hook since you’re a friend of ‘that’ young man, but you’re getting too wild.”
Bluebeard shouted at Leeha. And Leeha?
“Fuck you.”
Baaaaang——–!
He pulled the trigger without hesitation. C-c-crack-! For the first time, Bluebeard’s shield cracked.
“……This bastard-”
『Do you think you can ignore me and leave!』
Bluebeard tried to clear the shield and run, but he was blocked by Bailephus.
“Get out of the way, dung fly.”
『Ground Chain!』
Shusuk! Bluebeard’s jump was faster than Bailephus’ casting.
However, as if he had no interest in the magic, Bluebeard passed Bailephus in an instant and went after Leeha.
The fragment of the demon king lightly raised his cane with a distorted handle.
However, his momentum was not normal.
‘Damn it!’
Leeha had seen it before. Some time ago, he saw the scene where he pierced the chests of Czar guild members with that invisible cane.
If Leeha got stabbed with that, he would never survive.
“Force-”
“Be-be careful!”
He had no time to shout force barrier! However, it was fortunate for Leeha that there was another person who was warier of Bluebeard’s speed than him.
“Mass Blink!”
Shupa—-!
Bluebeard’s cane stabbed the air. Light purple mana flew from the place where Leeha and Hyein were standing before.
“Haa, are you okay?”
“T-thank you.”
Bluebeard saw Hyein and Leeha, who were relocated for more than 50m in an instant, and licked his lips.
“jjim…… still, it’s better to be a gold dung fly than a red maniac.”
Hyein got away with using an instant skill, but there was a reason why Bluebeard was late in the first place.
『Do you see me as an idiot, fragment of the demon king!』
The gold dragon was not a fool. The magic used toward the fragment of the demon king who had already dodged several times was not ordinary magic.
Every time Bluebeard lifted his leg like a kick, a sticky chain stretched from his ankles as if connected to the ground.
Since the magic that slowed his movement speed was already applied, Hyein was able to respond to Bluebeard’s attack.
Of course, Bluebeard would not get angry or shout just because he missed Leeha. He just put on a light expression of regret for missing his toy.
“Cough……. So annoying. Faust!”
By the time he summoned his subordinate, the necromancer, Kuzgunak’sh’sh’sh’sh’sh’sh’s corpse had already been absorbed to the ground.
“It’s almost done-”
『No way! It can’t be like that. Heeup.』
At that point where only the red scales were barely visible, Bailephus hurriedly gathered mana.
“This, how dare you gold dung fly!”
Looking at the figure, Bluebeard shook again-!
At first, Bluebeard, who was protecting Faust, passed Bailephus and approached Leeha.
In other words, what if Bailephus faced Faust? Bluebeard naturally caught the back of the gold better!
『This-』
Bailephus could not break his concentration on Kuzgunak’sh’sh’sh’sh’sh’sh and Faust, even if he felt that Bluebeard approached him from behind.
At this rate, the gold dragon’s throat would be cut by Bluebeard.
How would the battle flow? What will Bluebeard do next?
That was what Leeha had predicted.
“I knew it!”
Baaaaang—–!
Leeha shot again. He wasn’t even aiming at Bluebeard from the start.
Like the pattern he had shown, Leeha had been thinking hard about the probability of Bluebeard appearing ‘behind’ Bailephus!
Baaaaang-!
Bluebeard appeared behind Bailephus’ neck and hurriedly swung his cane at Leeha’s bullet.
“You damn brat-”
“Ground ball in front of the first base, out!”
One more time, click-! Baaaaang — baang—-!
Bluebeard continued to hit the 830m/s bullets like baseball balls. Leeha was neither surprised nor was stopped by the ridiculous response. After his attack on Bailephus got stopped, Bluebeard turned back toward Leeha as soon as he landed on the ground.
Bluebeard was determined to kill the troublesome interrupter this time, however, his servant behind him did not allow it.
“C-count-nim!”
“Hmm?”
Shyaaaaa……I
An object with a weak light was about to escape from Kuzgunak’sh’sh’sh’sh’sh’sh’s body which was about to be absorbed into the ground and showed only a few scales. Bluebeard’s pupils widened for the first time.
“Eeeeek 一”
And Leeha understood what it was and why Bluebeard was flustered.
‘Dragon heart……”
It was a very weak light, so Leeha couldn’t see better.
It was definitely Kuzgunak’sh’sh’sh’sh’sh’sh’s dragon heart that cracked like a window that had been shattered by Blaugrunn’s dragon heart bullet.
Ignoring Bluebeard’s attack, Bailephus tried to take out his dragon heart in conjunction with Kuzgunak’sh’sh’sh’sh’sh’sh’s body.
Bluebeard immediately turned and flew away from Leeha, but Bailephus had already finished concentrating.
『It’s over, le.』
Sureureureuk, at the same time, the corpse of Kuzgunak’sh’sh’sh’sh’sh’sh was completely absorbed and disappeared.
The dragon heart, which emerged from Kuzgunak’sh’sh’sh’sh’sh’sh’s body, went into Bailephus’ arms in the form that even the weak light remaining was gone.
****
The most taken aback was Faust.
Did the golf dragon take out the dead dragon’s heart with his unique skill? There was no way a single user could stop something that they didn’t even know about in the first place.
“So……I am so sorry, Count-nim! H-how can I stop this-”
Seeing the white lizardia flustered, Leeha and Hyein were about to catch on.
That he had received some kind of quest from Bluebeard.
And the contents of the quest must have been to absorb the corpse of the red dragon that possessed the dragon heart.
Both of them could only imagine how to use it and what they could do with it, but they didn’t know the exact details, but there was one sure thing.
Taking out Kuzgunak’sh’sh’sh’sh’sh’sh’s dragon heart made Bluebeard very angry
Leeha hadn’t seen him many times, but he’s always been playful… Even when Crolang died, he only clapped and laughed leisurely. But he-’
He made a face like that.
Not only the corners of his eyes but even his Bluebeard were contorted as if they were about to rise toward the sky.
“……This is not funny. All three of you…… are not funny.”
Hwaaaak-!
As soon as Bluebeard’s expression hardened, black energy rise like smoke behind him.
“Keuk, what is that…”
“That…… is dangerous. Rather than wait for it to finish we have to retreat-”
Even Leeha, who was aiming the Black Bass, lowered the muzzle, and Hyein, who was next to him, felt the pressure that made him take three or more steps back.
『Go away, le!』
“Huh, go away? Me? Don’t joke, dung fly. If I don’t take out your heart right now, I won’t feel at ease.”
The handle of his cane became even more bent as Leeha fired bullets several times.
Le grabbed the handle and lifted his cane, jjuuuuung ……! A jet-black blade protruded from the end of the cane that seemed to eat up space.
A line of darkness that seemed to suck in all light seemed to appear from the wand.
A line of black mana that couldn’t be looked at properly swayed unsteadily.
“Tsk…… nothing really works today. I wasn’t supposed to move.”
Listening to Bluebeard’s irritated voice, Leeha was sure that his guess was correct and that he had done a little bit of damage to the terrifying Bluebeard.
‘My attack broke the cane. That unknown attack skill must have prevented me from preventing power.’
Of course, it was still a problem that he couldn’t catch up with Bluebeard’s tremendous movement, aside from the offensive skill that he could not see before, it was still a pleasant thing to Leeha.
It’s like giving a guy who always get beaten up a shot at last.
“I will need to kill all of you to make me feel better-”
『I have already called the lord.』
“……Don’t make me laugh. I did not feel your mana getting sprayed.”
Bailephus interrupted Bluebeard. The advancing step of the fragment of the demon king stopped.
『If it’s a lie, you can check it. The lord will come in a little while. This time, lord Bahamut and I will annihilate you together.』
Bailephus snorted and lifted his neck.
His one-on-one fight with Bluebeard already made his body bruised, but his spirit did not shake.
A grinning sound spread from Bluebeard’s mouth.
The fragment of the demon king’s lips twitched his lips looked like they would attack at any moment in anger, but the name of Lord Bahamut was much heavier than expected.
“Pheeeeew……. Good. It’s a relief that we achieved half of the results. Should I say that I’m glad that I have achieved half of the result we wanted? Let’s retreat, Faust!”
“We are going back, Count-nim?”
“Because I can’t meet that old man yet.”
Bluebeard turned around as if going back on a walk.
Even though he turned his back on Bailephus, Leeha, and Hyein, she is acting as if he didn’t even need to be nervouse.
『Do you think I will just let you go, le!』
“What can you do to stop me?”
Bailephus was furious when he saw that, but that was all. Bluebeard was sure he wouldn’t be attacked first.
‘Damn it, did he really call lord Bahamut? If it were true, I would have tied his feet!’
Leeha and Hyein were not sure about that.
What if the gold dragon’s words were a bluff? What if they attacked for no reason and then Bluebeard struck again?
Leeha and Hyein could not move unless Bailephus moved first.
The good news is that it is impossible for Bluebeard to attack first. Because there was a possibility the gold dragon’s inaction was a ‘trap to lure’ him.
In the end, in the standoff, where neither could touch the other, Bluebeard approached Faust and tapped the ground with his staff.
