Chapter 222. All-out war (1)
– That’s it!
Warlock Targa was taken aback.
It happened so suddenly.
Fierce volcanic ash erupted from the ground out of nowhere.
Was it while breaking through the smoke without hesitation?
The two blows, delivered by surprise, focused on the 19th coccyx.
And the tailbone was broken.
– this…what!
I couldn’t believe it.
He obtained the body of the Bone Dragon.
The sword master’s aura sword didn’t take any damage.
no i didn’t believe it
– Damn it!
I hurriedly moved my wings.
It fluttered explosively.
But it was already too late.
The 19th tailbone was broken and the entire tail connected behind it was lost.
He lost his balance completely.
– that…Aww!
An upper body that bends down against one’s will.
A rapidly approaching ground.
…!
It was stuck like it was plugged in.
The same momentum as it flew while breaking through the speed of sound.
Carving an 800-meter-long furrow into the ground.
Breaking all the trees and rocks in its path with its whole body.
It was scattered in the dust that bloomed enormously.
But that’s for a while.
Soon, the Bone Dragon’s body moved.
cooong!
It touched the ground with its huge forepaws.
He abruptly raised his upper body.
But that was it.
Quaang-!
The Bone Dragon, who was half standing up, fell to the ground again.
The reason was simple.
It was because he suddenly lost his tail and lost his balance.
‘it’s okay!’
Seeing it from a distance, King Alicia clenched her fists.
done.
The strategy Lloyd Frontera said really worked.
‘It was close.’
The king recalled the tense moment just before.
A smoke screen from a volcanic eruption.
In the midst of it, he launched a coordinated attack with Xaviel.
At the last moment, the whole body was blown away, and it was said that the 19th tailbone was stabbed with a blow from the aura sword.
To be honest, I almost missed the sword at the time.
The moment he cut off the bone dragon’s tailbone.
It was because the anti-elastic force that was much stronger than expected came back through the sword.
‘It must have been because of the magic that maintained the Bone Dragon’s body. It was a different level of hardness than just cutting granite.’
It was no ordinary granite.
It felt like hitting a chunk of steel almost a meter thick.
What if he didn’t train hard after the attempted assassination of the king?
‘It must have failed.’
At the crucial moment, he must have missed the sword because he couldn’t withstand the anti-resilience.
I wouldn’t have completely broken my tailbone.
but he did it
The hard training of the past was not in vain.
“Whoa.”
King Alicia caught her breath and fixed her sword.
I cast my gaze through the thick dust.
Xaviel was there.
“Then shall we go and finish him off?”
“I will follow you.”
Now is your chance.
It will be your only chance.
The Bone Dragon, which had lost its tail, couldn’t even get up.
But I couldn’t say how long that would be.
‘Give me time and I’ll adapt.’
There’s no way it won’t wake up for a thousand years or ten thousand years just because it lost its tail.
one hour?
maybe faster than that?
They will quickly adapt to being without a tail.
So, you have to see the end before that.
“Haviel Asrahan. You and Lloyd Frontera can read the mana flow around you, maybe?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“also.”
It’s a strange technique.
King Alicia asked, curling up the corners of her mouth.
“Then let me ask you one thing. Where is the Bone Dragon’s mana moving most actively?”
“The skull is here.”
“I can break it down.”
If you do, you will be able to inflict serious damage.
If you’re lucky, you might be able to completely subdue them.
The steps of King Alicia and Xaviel toward the Bone Dragon’s crash site gradually accelerated.
“With all my might. at a whack. in the earliest possible time.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
Between the dust that still blooms thickly.
I saw the Bone Dragon’s gigantic body repeatedly falling while trying to get up. got closer increasingly. without hesitation. towards the guy. ran made a leap
Dig!
King Alicia first.
Xaviel climbed onto his spine one after another.
The two sword masters ran side by side, stepping on their backbones.
The target was the bone dragon’s skull.
‘Like before.’
the king’s gaze.
Xaviel nodded.
Increased sprint speed.
Kicking the Bone Dragon’s backbone as it swayed like a huge wave.
Activating a circle around a beating heart.
crashed
The energy waves of the fierce collision were carried on the sword as it was. I shot.
Two-two-!
Three elaborately shot consecutive blasts headed for the back of the dragon’s head.
Specifically, it aimed at the area where the skull and neck bones connect.
Knock!
With the sound of the explosion, the back of the Bone Dragon’s head flinched.
Of course, it wasn’t the Bone Dragon that would be hit by that blast.
So, Xaviel prepared.
more blasting.
A lot more blasting.
Tutu tu tu tu tu!
– …!
shot shoot and shoot again
hit Stay in the same spot.
Fired from various angles.
But there was only one hit point.
Kukkeukkeokkeok! Cuckoo! Kwak!
What if it can’t be pierced with one foot?
two feet three feet.
ten feet.
twenty feet.
More than thirty blasts hit the same spot one after another.
Of course, he didn’t just stand still because he was a bone dragon.
– Wow!
Twisted the whole body.
He moved his long neck.
I was trying to avoid getting blasted into the same spot somehow.
In the meantime, I tried to counterattack by moving my head several times.
But all failed.
Compared to Bone Dragon, Xaviel was too small.
was so agile.
sophisticated at the same time.
No matter how much the bone dragon struggled.
Even if you move your neck wildly and try to counterattack.
I dodged them all and only put the blasting in the same spot every time.
However, Bone Dragon was unable to raise his body properly.
An effective counterattack or response was almost impossible.
Literally, it was a one-sided beating or bullying.
Even Lloyd, who was watching it from above, clucked his tongue.
‘Ooh. crazy it’s crazy.’
Lloyd was genuinely impressed.
He had been watching the situation from the moment the bone dragon crashed.
I tried to see if it would be better to step back, content with cutting off the bone dragon’s tail, or to continue riding the momentum and maintaining the offensive.
However, the earthly king and Xaviel launched an all-out offensive first.
Since then, I’ve been a little nervous.
With a slightly anxious feeling.
I watched the counterattack of the two sword masters.
But did you see what was going on?
‘Unexpectedly, this is a picture that makes Bone Dragon pitiful.’
As much as that, Xaviel’s attacks were mercilessly tenacious.
Choose only the places that hurt the most and hit them.
Hit only where you hit.
beat to death.
The essential 3 principles of such a merciless hitting method were being practiced like a textbook in a thorough and exemplary manner.
‘Is that really going to catch the Bone Dragon?’
Suddenly, I had such hope.
It was all the more so when he saw the King preparing for the final blow near Xaviel, who was pouring out an onslaught.
‘King’s sister, are you trying to use the huge aura sword you used earlier?’
The width of the Orusode seemed to be dozens of centimeters.
It seemed to be 4-5 meters long.
It was literally a huge sword made of Aurors.
‘It was different from the normal Orosword.’
A normal auror sword is just a thin layer covering the sword like a lightsaber.
At the longest, it was the longest that extended about 1 meter from the tip of the sword.
However, the king’s aura sword was different.
‘Maybe I’m approaching the boundary between a sword master and a grand master.’
I had a sudden thought.
Xaviel, who became a grand master in the novel Iron Blooded Knight.
It was weaker than the phenomenal aura he showed at the time.
However, it seemed certain that the king was on the path to that stage.
‘The king’s sister is also improving tremendously.’
Sword Master Cherni, who was the former Guard Captain, would no longer be an opponent.
Maybe I could face two normal sword masters by myself.
while thinking so.
Down there, he could see the King raising his sword.
A unique giant aurora sword was created from the sword.
One-shot power rather than Xaviel’s sophistication.
Concentrating on its destructive power, the ruthless Orosword soared nearly 5 meters.
It was almost like a siege weapon.
On the other hand, what about the bone dragon’s skull?
It was in a state of vulnerability due to Xaviel’s continuous blasting.
‘Maybe I can really break it.’
There was a glimmer of hope for victory.
I thought I should help.
He encouraged Kkoming.
lowered the altitude
Prepared for triple blasting.
If the King’s strike failed miserably, he would immediately put a triple blast in its place.
I made a promise and broke the wind.
The view of the battlefield below drew closer in an instant.
The king was charging forward with the aurora sword.
To hit the Bone Dragon in the back of the head.
It was seen rushing furiously.
And so suddenly.
The Bone Dragon’s huge tail was also seen striking Xaviel.
Knock-!
“…!”
looked smart
It was the tail that had been cut off.
The 19th tailbone that I broke earlier.
It was the tail that had been connected to the back and had fallen to the ground and had been separated from the body of the bone dragon.
But it moved.
without any notice or warning.
So sudden and so fast.
Like a huge chain swishing.
moved in an instant. swung cut the space He hit Xaviel.
“…uh!”
Only that sound came out.
Because it happened so suddenly.
be careful or
dangerous or
avoid or
I couldn’t hear any calls or anything like that.
I had no choice but to stare blankly at the unrealistic sight of Xaviel being blown hundreds of meters away with an eerie sound.
Before long, Xaviel crashed.
to a place you can’t see.
“…uh.”
I couldn’t believe it.
what i saw now
Is what I just saw real?
Just a moment ago, Xaviel was fighting hard.
He was persistently blowing blasts and pushing the Bone Dragon steadily.
So just do a little bit more.
if it works out a little bit.
maybe really
I think I might be able to catch the bone dragon today.
That’s what I was thinking.
I’m going to go and help too.
That’s what I was thinking.
‘But why?’
I couldn’t believe it.
I didn’t want to believe
“Javiel!”
The cry broke out a little too late.
No, I don’t even know how he shouted.
The moment he shouted, he was already encouraging Kkoming.
I have to fly over and check it out.
I need to see if Harviel is okay.
So let’s fly really fast.
I urged Kkomingi again.
Kkoming was also in a hurry.
But I couldn’t fly.
The bone dragon flew into the air at some point.
It was flapping its wings from the front and staring at us.
With the lost tail restored.
It was blocking the way to fly this way.
“….”
no way.
‘Does he know my intentions?’
I felt it. I’m sure.
He knows that Xaviel is a threat to him.
So I’m blocking this one.
Hopefully, Xaviel will get treatment.
I’m afraid that if I come back to life, I’ll be in trouble.
But still….
“I have to go see Xaviel.”
We have to go quickly.
I was hit straight by that huge tail.
It’s different from when I was beaten by Giga Titan in Cremo.
At that time, Xaviel got out of the way.
But what about just now?
It fit properly.
It flew hundreds of meters and crashed.
Even for Xaviel, that’s at least a serious injury.
Perhaps his life is on the brink by now.
So you have to go really fast.
‘Because I have a dark mind!’
If you can breathe, you can save it.
You just need to resonate Xaviel’s mana circle with this shimmery sim method.
Then mana will be forcibly circulated and the body’s natural healing ability will be maximized.
A person who is about to die a slanderer.
Seriously injured can be treated as normal patients.
so you have to go
I have to go right away.
“Move!”
I screamed involuntarily.
Do you think the loss of Xaviel would be enormous?
Because it hurts to lose a useful worker and knight?
It didn’t seem like that.
My heart was just beating fast.
No, to be honest, I was afraid.
‘Hey Xaviel!’
It was scary.
The feeling of loss in one side of the chest.
Anxiety that creeps in to the point of being bizarre.
Come to think of it, it was.
The day I first opened my eyes in this world.
The day I met him for the first time like that.
Have I ever been away from him since that day?
No, have you ever thought about being separated from him forever?
does not exist.
just no
I’ve never had such a thought.
I thought we would always be together.
It will be like that forever and ever.
We’ll be together almost all the time, just like we’ve always been.
As always, the hardships will be with you.
happy moments too.
Relaxing days too.
to share all of that time.
After that, we would curse each other like always.
That we would spend our lives exchanging silly jokes.
That he would grow old as a lord like a gentleman in a country estate and a knight escorting him.
I thought so.
so plainly
without any particular sentiment.
Just as naturally as breathing air.
I’ve been by your side until now, so I’ll be there in the future.
‘That’s why I’m so complacent.’
I had a guy with me.
I was enjoying the guy.
I was dealing with the guy.
So it was.
I could understand now.
‘Haviel.’
What did the guy mean?
I finally seemed to know.
escort knight?
Useful construction equipment?
Powerful Sword Master?
No, the guy before that….
“I have to go to my friend, so get out of the way, you bastard.”
Bone Dragon blocked the way.
Lloyd’s eyes, staring at the hopeless being, turned to gray.
