Chapter 218. What the King carried (2)
‘Because I am the King.’
Raise your gaze.
under the dark night sky.
Like a huge mountain range, the Bone Dragon stood tall.
A barrier that will never be crossed.
A fortress that can never be demolished.
Would this be the feeling of a ephemera facing a giant alone?
‘Useless worry.’
King Alicia laughed.
The next moment he kicked the ground.
Paha!
immediately after the jump was performed.
The place where she was was destroyed.
Tuquaang-!
The Bone Dragon’s huge paws stamped the ground.
The enormous force of impact broke the ground.
A pit 10 meters deep and 25 meters in diameter was created destructively.
Countless fragments bouncing in all directions were a bonus.
“…Suck!”
King Alicia, who floated into the air, swung her sword.
Dividing the sword spirit into dozens of branches, it wrapped around the whole body.
Hundreds of fragments flew at subsonic speed.
collided with the sword.
Kaka Kaka Kakang!
Hundreds of sparks bloomed.
She broke through the sparks.
He jumped head-on toward the bone dragon.
“Sweep!”
One rough breath.
At the same time, her mana heart roared.
A change also took place in her sword.
Kyaaaaang-!
The longsword in her hand howled like a beast.
He revealed his hidden fangs.
spewing out red flashes.
It emitted an aura with an area ten times larger than that of the long sword.
The blade width of the aura sword created in this way was 50 cm.
It reached 4 meters in length.
I slashed down like an axe with an aura sword of destructive size.
I aimed at the wrist of the bone dragon’s front leg.
Kwakagak!
It was the Bone Dragon’s bone, which had not been scratched until now.
But this time it was different.
‘done!’
The aura sword dug into the bone by about an inch.
Black magic flowed like blood through the slightly hollowed bone surface.
‘It’s a little bit, but it worked.’
A strangeness appeared in the king’s eyes.
It’s different from before when the attack didn’t work at all.
Although it was a little, it succeeded in digging into the surface of the bone dragon’s bones.
What does that mean?
if you do a little better.
if you do it a little better.
It meant that it could do more damage.
‘I don’t want anything grand. one leg only. If you destroy that much, the royal capital’s garrison will be able to do something later. you can do it!’
Kyaaaaa!
King Alicia’s mana heart roared even more fiercely.
Her movements became more ferocious and heavy.
Like a muscular beast.
Like a beast that breaks the neck of its prey with a single blow.
put maximum force into the ground.
Tu-ku-u-!
Every ground she stepped on cracked.
The paving stones were broken and the rocks cracked.
Strong steps and steps.
A violently generated repulsive force.
Her whole body went off like a cannonball.
All of the enormous power was put into the sword.
“Huh!”
Tuquahak!
Rather than a small technique, one sure shot.
He struck the Bone Dragon’s wrist bone again.
Hit, cut, shoot, and again more intensely.
Kwaaang-!
five rushes.
Five attacks, like bombings, exploded one after another.
Slightly deeper scratches were also engraved on the bones of the wrists, which looked like Bondragon’s fortress.
And the bone dragon shaved his wrist.
“…!”
Knock!
Alicia, who was preparing for her next attack, was struck by the forefoot.
It flew 30 meters straight.
I’ve managed to find a balance.
landed
“…Whoops!”
King Alicia vomited.
I only got hit by one shot.
Even that was countered with an aura sword at the moment of being hit to offset the shock.
However, I almost died in that single room.
‘What the hell.’
King Alicia’s eyes shook greatly.
Even now, the shaken stomach has not subsided.
Manahat, who had been hit, was also panting.
I suddenly felt embarrassed.
‘I trained so hard.’
It was after the attempted assassination of the king.
There was not a single day where I could rest comfortably.
I trained by pushing myself to extreme situations every day.
Like someone suffering from OCD.
He pushed himself harder than when he was training to become a sword master.
I grew up thanks to
He was proud that he had the skills to sufficiently subdue not only his past self, but also Cherny, who had betrayed him.
Such pride turned into confidence as he wiped out the remnants of warlocks.
‘I thought it was over. but….’
There was a sky above the sky.
No, there was a monster that couldn’t be overcome.
The bone dragon looking down at himself.
Looking up at the monster, King Alicia was deeply moved.
‘I can’t stand it.’
At least it could do some damage.
So, it would be possible to buy time until the capital’s garrison is ready to respond.
Because that’s something only the sword master can do.
So you have to do it yourself.
I can do it.
I thought so.
‘Even that was an illusion.’
Crunchy!
King Alicia gnashed her teeth.
He looked up at the bone dragon that was running towards him with all his body.
His wide-open mouth.
I stood facing the sword to come towards it.
But that was then.
right!
A wave of mana like a storm flew in a straight line from somewhere.
It hit the bone dragon’s side face straight.
Kwaaang-!
The bone dragon’s head snapped to the side.
Thanks to that, his charge was delayed very slightly.
At that moment, someone’s voice struck Alicia’s hearing.
“For speed rather than force. in a detour rather than in front. I dare to help, Your Highness.”
“…!”
Only then did Alicia see it.
Between the full moon half-revealed through the clouds.
A person was crossing the air.
It landed on the bone dragon’s spine.
took the sword
Quaang Another violent explosion.
I used the explosion to blow myself off again.
In an instant, I came down this side.
He spoke quickly and politely.
“Excuse me, over there.”
“…!”
Xaviel Asrahan.
It was a silver-haired knight.
He was glancing to one side.
King Alicia reacted immediately.
I rushed towards what Xaviel was telling me.
Right after that, the bone dragon’s gigantic mouth ferociously chewed the space she had left.
Kwak!
“….”
dodged
It was from then.
King Alicia’s counterattack has begun.
Xaviel joined the counterattack.
It was a combined attack by two sword masters, rare in history.
“His Highness the King.”
“Oh yes.”
“Do you dare to say something?”
“The situation is the situation, so get rid of all the complicated honorifics. Be as concise as possible.”
Bone Dragon’s pouring waves.
Alicia commanded, running narrowly to avoid it.
Running side by side, Xaviel answered.
“All right. Then, your highness, run amok on the ground to your heart’s content.”
“You?”
“I will take over the disruption.”
“Disruption?”
“It means that we will take away the accuracy from the offensive aimed at Your Highness. Enough then.”
hook.
Xaviel, who was running alongside, disappeared with the sound of the wind.
No, it was that far away in an instant.
The light flashed.
Tuquahak-!
The blast that flew in an instant struck the center of the bone dragon’s backbone.
Although no cracks were etched into the bones.
However, the huge Bone Dragon’s body shuddered slightly.
That was enough.
It was because the trajectory of the bone dragon’s paws, which had just been striking Alicia, slightly swayed.
Quaang-!
The front foot that missed Alicia hit the ground.
‘good. That’s what you’re going to do.’
The king grasped Xaviel’s intentions.
A ferocious spirit flashed in her eyes.
It was from then.
The King’s huge aura sword ran amok like a beast.
He actively moved back and forth between the front and back legs of the bone dragon, diligently carving scratches.
However, the dragon was unable to counterattack the king.
It was because of Xaviel.
right!
Unlike the king, who can only use melee attacks with an aura, Xaviel had blasts. Every time he stretched out his sword, the momentum of the blast traversed the space by dozens of meters.
Each time, it hit the Bone Dragon’s joint gap as if stabbing it.
Every time that happened, Bone Dragon’s huge body staggered.
The reason was simple.
The part where the body weight is applied whenever the bone dragon moves.
This was because only the most vulnerable joints in that area were selected and hit.
When the bone dragon swings its forepaw, the opposite elbow and wrist.
When you slow down, your knees and pelvis.
If you want to correct your posture, bend your back.
It stabbed so appropriately each time.
Whenever that happens, Bone Dragon’s huge body loses its center of gravity and stumbles.
He would miss King Alicia, whom he had been aiming for, by a narrow margin.
Then what about the king?
raised more momentum.
I ran away furiously.
It roared like a lion and performed a sword dance with a huge aura sword.
In the meantime, King Alicia’s heart beat even more violently.
‘do. you can do it.’
The beat of hope jumped.
Little by little, a possibility appeared.
When he was alone, he was a bone dragon that he didn’t dare to fight against.
It was a monster that was at a loss as to how to catch it.
By joining forces with Xaviel, the enemy became possible.
The minimum fight was established!
‘My sword is being eaten.’
It wasn’t a deep blow.
Even if you cut it with all your strength, it is only 1 cm deep.
But what if you land a hundred such blows on the same spot?
The depth of the crack is 1 meter.
‘One meter. That’s enough. Wrists and ankles supporting that enormous weight. What if you carve a 1-meter-deep crack in it? Because of the violent movement, it will spread a crack on itself and finally break.’
When attacking a huge animal, start with the part that supports your weight.
I thought the monstrous Bone Dragon would be the same.
So, from the beginning, I relentlessly aimed only at the wrists of the forepaws.
cut and cut again
shoot and shoot again
And now the possibility of making that hope a reality was peeking out.
‘little bit more. a little bit!’
Quaang! Kakak! Tuquahak!
Thanks to Xaviel’s support.
Narrowly avoiding the Bone Dragon’s attack.
Hitting the same spot in succession, Alicia laughed fiercely.
Hope grew even more with laughter.
The premonition of victory was dimly glimpsed.
Until the bone dragon flew up in an instant.
Accurate-!
Magnificent wings suddenly unfolded.
Just one powerful wingbeat.
It was the moment when King Alicia was about to strike the hundredth blow.
so suddenly
Bone Dragon kicked the ground.
It flapped its wings and flew away.
With just one leap and flap of its wings, it soared to a height of more than 300 meters.
King Alicia looked up at the bone dragon in disbelief.
The bone dragon was flying so freely.
At a height that this side can’t even do anything about.
I was looking down at it leisurely.
“…lie.”
Maybe this is how the ant feels when it loses an eagle’s ankle that it was biting hard on and turns into a ball.
Could this be a nightmare?
‘How am I supposed to fight something like that?’
no, how do you stop it?
King Alicia looking up at the Bone Dragon in the sky.
She fell into darkness blocked by an insurmountable wall.
♣
– Yes, despair. more like that You feel gloomy.
…Just like I did.
The bone dragon spread its wings.
Soaring like a nightmare into the night sky.
I looked down at King Alicia, who was left on the ground.
Bone Dragon thought.
No, thought Targa, the soul warlock dwelling within it.
‘I must have looked like that when I was decapitated in the lab.’
The expression of King Alicia looking up this way.
was soaked in obscurity.
was soaked in darkness.
It was like a person looking at a natural disaster that he could not do anything about on his own.
Warlock Targa liked that.
– That’s right. How unfair would I have been if I hadn’t seen that expression.
It was unfair.
It was like that until the moment she was killed by King Alicia.
The moment the severed head rolls across the floor.
At the last moment, he had to give up his body.
It was an unavoidable choice.
Because I didn’t want it to end like that.
So it was.
He transferred his soul to the dragon’s skeleton that was kept inside the laboratory.
last trick.
Or you could call it balak.
Actually, I didn’t expect much myself.
I thought the odds of success would be less than 10 percent.
But that’s it.
the soul has moved
It nestled into the dragon’s skeleton.
That’s how I gave up being a seal.
It was from then.
A long waiting period unfolded.
It was time to wait for the soul to settle into the dragon’s skeleton.
Months passed.
So today.
Finally, I got a new body and opened my eyes.
However, the results were completely beyond expectations.
‘…I didn’t expect it to exert this much power.’
It was so strong.
Although it’s a little short of the actual Bone Dragon.
It’s only at the level of imitating similarly, though.
With that alone, he was able to play with the king, a sword master, like a bug.
Even though he had just started moving and was not used to his new body!
‘This is the end of walking practice.’
Responding only with a monotonous swing of the forepaw ended here.
From now on, let’s play more seriously.
Warlock Targa laughed fiercely.
I focused on the unfamiliar sensation of flapping my wings.
The more he did, the more Bone Dragon’s body soared higher into the night sky.
As for King Alicia, who was left on the ground and looked up this way.
The vast garden and the royal palace behind it.
City map of Royal Road Magenta.
It all felt like a city of toys or bugs.
Or, conversely, he felt as if he had become an omnipotent being.
In a word, it’s like this.
– I feel like a god.
It was thrilling.
I felt like I could do anything I wanted.
I wanted to destroy all beings in my way.
‘Especially King Alicia. You dare to cut my throat insolently? That’s the price. You will be neither dead nor alive until the whole capital is burned and destroyed, and you will witness all the horrors.’
The soul inside the bone dragon.
Warlock Targa laughed cruelly.
Now I’m used to the feeling of flapping my wings.
I was ready to step on it in earnest.
So now is the time to enjoy it.
It’s time to smash and kill everything in sight.
– Ha ha ha!
He bowed his huge head down.
He folded his wings that had been churning the air.
began to descend.
It was the moment to begin.
An unexpected being swooped down on him.
“Kkoming!”
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
‘…What?’
A white figure darting down under the dark clouds in the night sky.
It was plump.
It has tiny wings.
He also had round hair and bright eyes.
So that’s….
‘Vinous-throated parrotbill?’
It was a crow that looked bigger than a human.
However, it was not unfamiliar to him.
Suddenly, I remembered a story I had heard before.
Immediately after the failure of the plot in Namaran.
According to the post-mortem report received from the person who planted it there, there was someone who rode a crow and attacked the black magicians on the day the plot was executed.
So his name is….
‘Lloyd Frontera?’
The moment the black magician Targa recalled his memories.
Lloyd, who dived with Kkomingi, shouted.
threw something this way
“Get this for now!”
Whiik!
Objects flying this way.
No correction animals(?).
It was an ordinary beaver.
Targa felt bewildered.
‘….’
what.
in this situation now.
Throw a beaver like that.
What are we going to do?
The very moment when Targa, the black magician, lost her sense of humor.
Pew!
– …!
The beaver that flew at him became huge.
A whopping 100 meters in size.
Shaking the ignorant belly fat.
Without a chance to respond, I hugged him.
“Byeom-!”
– What?
Bibeong caught Bone Dragon in an instant and threw it away.
The 3,000-ton butt body press attack of that phantom species was carried out at an altitude of 2500 meters.
