Chapter 299. Let’s make a bet (1)
“Isn’t it?”
A sweet sounding voice.
It’s shameless to give it away.
Lloyd’s answer filled the air.
A hole at the top of a very tall ice wall.
From there, he tickled the eardrum of Tyranus, the Bingryong looking down.
“No?”
Wrinkles were carved between Tyranus’s forehead.
A cold storm froze in Bingryong’s eyes looking down at Lloyd.
“Isn’t it real?”
“yes. It is not.”
“really?”
“yes.”
Lloyd answered without blinking.
Bingryong’s pupils showed a troubled look.
“Hmm, did I look at the wrong person? I’m sorry about this.”
“Goodbye.”
“…Did you know I was going to pass?”
Kwachang! Whoa!
Tyranus yelled.
With a shout, the hole in the ice wall widened.
Bingryong’s whole body came in through the widened hole.
Thanks to this, Lloyd was able to properly witness how big Bingryong was.
‘crazy. Isn’t it much bigger than Yongyong?’
He quickly used his surveying skills.
I scanned the whole body of Bingryong, who was flying towards us.
The scan results made me salivate.
‘270 meters. It weighs 10,000 tons.’
It was a terrible figure.
Moreover, Bingryong landed on the ground so quickly and lightly that it did not suit his enormous size.
Just lightly by Bingryong’s standard.
Aaaaaaaang-!
Heaven and Earth rang.
The whole land in the area shook.
There was a roar that sounded like hundreds of tons of TNT exploding.
It was accompanied by a huge dust storm.
“…Wow!”
Lloyd had to duck low to avoid being blown away by the gusts of wind.
As such, I was able to witness it thanks to my perseverance (?).
The overwhelming figure of Bingryong standing up right in front of his nose.
“Tell me one more time, man. You don’t have a heart of winter?”
“….”
Lloyd could understand.
‘The pretense operation is a failure.’
I tried to look around and see.
If that dragon falls for pretense, that’s for the best.
Just in case, I put an iron plate on my face.
‘It doesn’t work either. I don’t know who that dragon is, but he came all the way here on purpose because he knew I had a heart of winter. I have business.’
I felt it through my eyes.
That dragon just pointed out this way and came here.
So no pretensions or deceptions of any kind will work.
‘Besides, that dragon doesn’t seem like a normal guy.’
Lloyd looked back at what had happened a moment ago.
I tried turning off the time freeze option.
Just then, that dragon appeared.
However, the place that appeared was so unexpected.
‘It flew from the outer realm where time is frozen.’
I made a hole in the ice wall that covered this place.
I looked down this way through the hole and finally came inside.
‘That means that dragon flew from a time-frozen realm. It means that they flapped their wings and moved even though time was frozen.’
This means that it is not affected by the time freeze.
That gripped Lloyd’s heart with the jittery beat of Jajinmori.
‘Solitas, the young dragon you brought to the territory after negotiations before, is of a different rank. The size you can see with your eyes. Not affected by the time freeze.’
can’t be treated carelessly
If necessary, I will mobilize Xaviel and Yongyong.
I might be able to keep my guard down and take a surprise attack.
‘Let’s not do that if it’s possible.’
I had a feeling that I might be robbed in reverse.
No matter how grandmaster Xaviel is.
Even if Yongyong is slightly stronger than an ordinary dragon.
Even if you join yourself in it.
I had a hunch that I wouldn’t be able to subdue the dragon that was spewing out that enormous force.
It was from the moment I realized that.
“Oh, sir. I think I was mistaken.”
The corner of his trembling mouth hung over the tip of his ear.
I rubbed the palms of my hands that were hardening with tension.
He slightly bent down to his waist, dripping with cold sweat, and answered Bingryong kindly.
“I am really sorry about this. It’s because I’m having a bit of trouble hearing these days, and the teacher’s voice is so powerful and full of dignity. I thought you were asking if there was a ‘Mirror Heart’ and not the Heart of Winter.”
“….”
“Yes, there is Heart of Winter, not Heart of Mirrors. Yes or no.”
“is it?”
“yep.”
Lloyd nodded firmly.
First of all, to cooperate with the opponent.
So to look good.
Isn’t it the law to crawl when it’s long?
So it was.
He hurriedly glanced at Xaviel, who had hurriedly rushed over.
‘stop. don’t pull out your sword Don’t even run.’
‘But Mr. Lloyd?’
‘Just hold on to the handle of the sword. walk slowly stretch your face Don’t even look at him. Smile man.’
‘….’
Xaviel also noticed Lloyd’s intentions.
The silver-haired knight nodded inwardly.
‘but. That dragon is absolutely not ordinary.’
He could also feel like Lloyd.
With a different sense of reaching the level of a grand master, not with a sense of wit.
Through a three-pronged circle that has reached maturity.
I could clearly feel how terrifyingly strong that dragon was.
‘Even if I fight with all my might, it’s only 5 minutes.’
It seemed to be the limit to be able to endure that much.
It was the second time I felt this way.
‘I felt the same way when I met the Dragon King Berkis. No, it’s a bit weaker than that dragon Berkis. If Yongyong and I fight for our lives, maybe we can buy Lloyd-sama enough time to escape.’
Xaviel tried to swallow the tension and made up his mind.
In the meantime, Lloyd, who had noticed Yongyong to calm down, looked up at Bingryong again.
“Anyway, I have the heart of winter you are looking for. By the way, sir, may I ask what business you are here for?”
“Hmm, simple. I’m here to get the heart of winter back.”
“…yes?”
“I don’t understand what you are saying. I’m here to get the heart of winter back.”
“….”
The corners of Lloyd’s mouth twisted slightly.
‘Ah, somehow it seemed like this.’
It got embarrassing.
The reason was simple.
“I’m really sorry, sir? It is true that I have a heart of winter.”
“however?”
“If I give you that, will I die?”
“is it?”
“yes. Actually, it wasn’t intentional, but the heart of winter was absorbed and fused into my mana heart. I can’t separate this on my own. So, if you try to remove it by force, your Mana Heart and your heart will all be destroyed.”
“so?”
“I’m really really sorry, but I thought it would be a bit difficult to give you the heart of winter….”
“okay?”
“yes. Besides, teacher?”
“It’s Bingryong Tyranus.”
“Ah yes. The mighty Tyranus? I’m really sorry, but you said you’re ‘returning’ the Heart of Winter. Have you ever owned a Heart of Winter before?”
“No.”
“that…If you rush?”
“I made the heart of winter.”
“….”
Lloyd became a savage.
Bingryong’s eyes became strict.
“I don’t know if you know, but I made the heart of winter. It was a gift from my human friend Michael Magentano hundreds of years ago when he founded the country.”
“….”
“I still remember it. Michael was so happy. At the same time, I was also happy. He had to get sick from working too hard to make the heart of winter, but I thought he and his descendants would enjoy a peaceful era thanks to my gift.”
“….”
“But not too long ago you absorbed the heart of that winter.”
“Did you feel it?”
“okay.”
“….”
“Nevertheless, I overlooked it. left it alone I thought that the heart of winter must have gone the way fate led me. But no. It’s not enough that you absorbed it, so you abused it at will. Just like now.”
Bingryong’s cool gaze scanned the sky.
I glimpsed the ice wall that covered the entire area and the area where time stopped outside.
Soon, Sirigo’s stern gaze returned to this direction.
“It was from the moment I realized that. I thought I couldn’t let it go. I made up my mind and flew all the way here. To get the Heart of Winter back from you.”
“Well….”
“If you have something to say, say it.”
“I’m sorry about that.”
Lloyd said with a tearful smile.
“I told you before, but would you die if I gave you that?”
“so? You mean no?”
“….”
“Do you dare to think that I came all the way here to ask permission?”
“That’s not it….”
“If I had my heart, I could have annihilated all life here, including you. Then you wouldn’t have to have such a cumbersome and annoying conversation. I could have taken the heart of winter much more comfortably.”
“….”
“Even so, they are willing to show mercy and kill only you and take it. Is that too unfair?”
“yep.”
“…what? Are you embarrassed?”
“yes.”
Lloyd held his chin upright.
He did not succumb to Bingryong’s cool eyes.
He answered again and again, widening his eyes.
A sudden burst of bold courage?
Or because of the inevitable pressure and in desperation?
It was neither.
In fact, he was making fun of himself.
‘nice. It’s not just about taking the heart of winter, it’s rather good if you came to kill me!’
I thought you were right.
I thought this was it.
So it was.
Before Bingryong could react in a fit of anger.
Lloyd said quickly and swiftly with a hair’s breadth.
“I am a member of the Yongwang Sponsorship Membership.”
“…hmm?”
“The Dragon King Berkis is a person who is supported by that great person. So please don’t kill me carelessly. Especially if it’s a dragon with common sense and culture like Tyranus-sama.”
“….”
This time, Tyranus became a Hapjugi.
Lloyd puffed out his chest triumphantly.
A smile bloomed across his face.
‘Yes, this is it!’
Lloyd sighed in delight.
Bingryong Tyranus of the enormous force in front of his eyes.
My heart raced so fast when he asked me to give him the heart of winter.
I thought I was stealing the heart of winter without moving.
But when I thought about it, it wasn’t.
‘Because if you give me the heart of winter, I will die. But what if the dragon kills me? It would be an act of directly going against the Dragon King Sponsorship Membership.’
Other monsters would rather not care about such an oath.
But what about dragons?
would rather care.
because it’s a dragon
Because the Dragon King is the representative and leader of all dragons.
I came to the idea that even the youngest dragon would not be able to harm himself with the Dragon King Sponsorship membership.
so I screamed
The effect was quickly apparent.
“…Membership sponsored by the Dragon King, is that true?”
“Yes, it is true.”
“really?”
“Yep”
“Let’s see.”
“….”
Bingryong’s eyes looking down this way changed significantly.
Did he eventually sense something in the dragon’s unique way?
A different color appeared in Bingryong’s eyes.
“It is true.”
“Thank you for noticing.”
Lloyd rubbed his chest inwardly.
Fortunately, the trick I was aiming for seemed to have worked.
Bingryong Tyranus grumbled.
“Tsk. I never thought I would have been a human being sponsored by that bastard.”
“yes? If you’re him…Are you dating the Dragon King?”
“Yes.”
“I’m sorry, but what kind of relationship are you….”
Judging from how he is called, I wonder if he has an enemy or a grudge.
So, wouldn’t they try to kill this side ignoring the Dragon King Sponsorship Membership and whatnot?
Lloyd asked again, feeling slightly nervous.
Bingryong Tyranus snorted.
“He’s a guy like Wensu.”
“What is it?”
“okay. Because he is my son.”
“…yes?”
“My son, Dragon King Berkis.”
“Ah ha ha ha? Oh, King Taeyong!”
“….”
“I met a very precious person whom I did not know, and this childish and shabby human being greets me again.”
The family relationship between the Dragon King and Bingryong, which was unexpected and somewhat dramatic in the morning.
As soon as he heard that, Lloyd flatly fell on his face.
Bingryong asked with a shy expression.
“Are you flattering me?”
“…yep.”
“So you think I won’t take the heart of winter?”
“I told you a moment ago, but if you take it, my life….”
“It’s none of my business.”
Bingryong’s voice became firm.
It was the same with the eyes looking down.
“The Dragon King Sponsorship membership is important, but the promise I made to my friend by giving him the heart of winter is also important. Even the promise I made was far ahead of the Dragon King’s support in terms of timing.”
“What about that word over there?”
“It’s good that you’re quick-witted. It means that the promise between me and Michael takes precedence over sponsoring the Dragon King and should be valued.”
“….”
“From what I can see, you don’t feel a single drop of Michael’s lineage. You are not a descendant of Michael. Is it right?”
“yes.”
“Then you don’t deserve the heart of winter. You have no right to abuse it at will.”
“….”
“So I’ll take it right away….”
“Wait!”
Lloyd shouted.
“I am a servant of Her Highness Alicia Terrmina Magentano, a descendant of Michael the King of Heroes!”
“Still, aren’t they related by blood?”
“….”
“Are you planning to marry someone of royal blood?”
“That’s it.”
“None.”
“….”
“Then I will take the heart of winter. Before that, I wish you peace of mind. It will be a sad death, but it will also be an unavoidable death, so don’t feel too sorry for it.”
“….”
“There will be no pain.”
coo cooo coo…!
Bingryong’s sentence fell.
Bingryong’s whole body started to overflow with ignorant cold air.
The heart of winter you’ve been through before?
It was an overwhelming cold that made the body feel like a rustling wind from a broken air conditioner.
There was no room for compromise.
‘What do we do?’
Lloyd swallowed dryly.
‘Should I fight alongside Xaviel?’
I looked out of the corner of my eye.
I could see Xaviel’s hand slipping towards the sword.
Yongyongyi must have sensed the unusual atmosphere, and was crouching down while preparing to charge.
If only this side sends a signal.
It looked like it was ready to attack Bingryong right away.
But Lloyd shook his head inwardly.
‘no. I can’t overcome that force. If they collide, everyone will die.’
Then it will be the worst outcome.
In particular, not only this one, but Xaviel dying was literally the worst of the worst.
‘Because he is the original protagonist of this world.’
But what if the main character disappears?
what will this world be like
I couldn’t imagine it.
No, apart from being the main character, he didn’t want Xaviel to suffer such a sacrifice because of himself.
Of course, I also wanted to refuse to die here.
‘So think about it. roll your head There must be a way!’
Lloyd whipped his cerebral cortex desperately.
Bingryong reveals an overwhelming life right in front of his eyes.
The centaur tribesmen were in a frenzy at Bingryong’s momentum.
Xaviel and Yongyong seemed to attack Bingryong at any moment.
seeing all of them
I wondered what I could do here.
Your own resources and excuses.
All kinds of possibilities.
Consequences subject to possibility.
Take a look.
Analyzing.
predict
measuring the angle
finally flashed.
I had to remember
At that moment, he raised his head.
Toward Bingryong who is about to fire his magic this way.
With the confidence to gamble with a 100% win rate.
With a tone that strangely touches the other person’s ego.
I’m pretty sure this isn’t going to happen.
he exclaimed quickly.
“Are you confident that you won’t vomit after one of my punches!”
