#826. welcome.
* * *
“Whoa….”
Athena’s sky.
above that vast void.
A red-haired beauty in a military uniform was flapping her wings there.
Hasneti let out a hot breath.
It’s been a few days since the fierce battle in London.
It was not enough to go to the battlefield again with internal injuries still remaining, so using the Dragon Season was a burden as expected.
It was to the extent that the internal wounds that had only partially recovered from this single attack had reappeared.
Even she, who had completed the dragon’s true blood, could not continue the battle any longer.
But that was enough.
Throwing the World Federation into chaos.
Having drained energy to defense systems.
Because her role in opening the prelude to this decisive battle was over.
However, it would be no joke to say that the Red Dragon Clan simply retreated from the battlefield.
Hasneti controlled the dragon psionic to rule the internal wounds and watched the city with cold, bloody eyes.
To intervene in the war at any time if necessary.
Even while she was watching, the situation in Athens was urgently rolling.
The movements of the Seven Dragons, which had been secretly positioned and then started attacking all at once, were literally lightning.
Although there may not be many of them, their speed, which was composed of a smaller number of elites, was incomparable to that of an ordinary army.
And among them, the fastest ones were by far the mounted warriors of the Silver Dragon clan, including
Yekathrice. Dududududu!
Is it because of pride as a member of the Silver Dragon clan, which boasts the fastest speed in the Seven Dragons?
Or is it because his blood boils as a descendant of Khan?
Using time-accelerated psionics and even axerophthol, they sprinted at full speed and came close to Athens in the blink of an eye.
At this rate, even the World Federation would be rushing in in the blink of an eye.
Especially since the Federation is still in chaos.
However, although people can be flustered and agitated, they are not tools.
Just as they did when they fended off the Hasneti attack, the defense systems guarding the World Federation’s headquarters worked reliably even in the midst of the chaos.
Pajik Pajijik!
The roofs of some buildings are open.
After the metal orb rises.
The sphere rotated and started producing white sparks.
At first, the sparks that only circled around the sphere increased in brilliance as it rotated again and again.
The moment when the rotation finally reached its peak.
“Everyone spreads out!”
Kwakwagwagwagwang!
A flash of white light flashes.
A storm swept through the thunderbolt between the mounted warriors who were divided on the left and right.
It’s a shame because it’s a silver dragon clan capable of ultra-high speed maneuvers as much as it handles psionics of time acceleration.
It was a ruthless attack that made it hard to believe that it was a simple defense system that would have been reduced to ashes by others.
Even the attack didn’t end with just one attack.
two or three times.
Each orb spewed lightning in turn.
The warriors of the Silver Dragon clan, who boasted of speed, had no choice but to work hard to evade maneuvers.
Bang kwaguawang!
“…Hey Kana? Didn’t you say that its power would decrease?”
“According to the information that the defense system is sharing energy, there is a 100% chance that the power was reduced to block the Red Dragon Princess’s attack.”
“Then, is this the decrease?”
“99% of them will.”
“Huh, it looks like you really paid a lot of attention to the name and color of the headquarters.”
Yekathrice clicked her tongue.
This defense system was created by the World Federation during its heyday.
Besides, perhaps it was in preparation for an attack by the Seven Dragons or Limon, but it was useless.
If the World Federation had been intact, they would have struggled even if they had poured all their strength into the Seven Dragons.
“Even if I do, it’s useless.”
Nevertheless, the moment Yekathrice smiled.
『Seventy-two kinds of martial arts, eleven festivals,
seven twelve kinds of martial
arts, 十一絶, gear dragon sword,
以氣馭龍劍』
Kwaaang!
A single flash of light flashes.
One orb that was just about to fire a thunderbolt burst into pieces.
Its true identity is none other than the sword.
It was the result of dozens of swords dyed in a subtle golden light entangled to form a dragon shape with each other’s brilliance and swallowing the original sphere.
A blonde beauty sitting cross-legged in front of a flying spirit.
Charlotte didn’t stop there.
He just kept driving his sword towards the next circle.
Jigsaw Jigsaw!
It was only belatedly that the self-defense function seemed to work.
Against the waves of swords forming the shape of a golden dragon, Won-gu opened a barrier made of sparks.
Perhaps thanks to the generous use of the enormous stored energy, the barrier was able to hold the golden dragon in the air for a while.
But that’s only for a moment.
Every time the golden dragon wriggled, the thunderbolt of the barrier rapidly weakened.
“Yap!”
『Seventy-two kinds of martial arts,
eight solar terms, 七十二種武流 八絶技
Tangung
Ghost Killing彈弓鬼靈撒』
Kurlureureung!
and over that barrier.
The silver arrow gets stuck.
The thunderbolt, whose precarious balance had collapsed, was pierced by the wave of the golden sword.
After that, it was a mess.
A ship that loses balance once capsizes in an instant.
One after another, he pierced through the spheres containing hundreds of black thunderbolts.
Kwang kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwang!
“Kyahaha! Run guys!”
At Athens, whose defense system collapsed like that, mounted warriors led by Yekathrice charged.
Watching the sight of hundreds of armored units falling one after another from the flying spirit floating in the air.
Leto was stunned.
‘How can the defense system’s weakness…!’
That sphere was not just properly arranged, but was designed through thorough calculations.
It was a structure that was composed of mutually complementary structures, so that even if one was destroyed, it was regenerated with the power of the other sphere.
The only way to destroy it is to destroy the spheres in the order they do not regenerate.
But only the Creator knows the order.
It’s a secret that other monarchs and guild members don’t know, and because he was in charge of funding the defense system as a member of the Midas guild.
The fact that the Seven Dragons were destroying the orbs in exactly the right order puzzled Leto.
But unfortunately, he didn’t even have time to be mesmerized.
“Reduced… ghast!”
“Heh, the Black Dragon Clan! The warriors of the Black Dragon Clan have infiltrated!”
Did they come in using the chaos of the collapsed barrier?
Or was it that he had been waiting for the right time while hiding in Athens before then?
or rise from the shadows.
Pretend to be a colleague and draw a sword.
Or secretly unfolding the dark sutra.
The ambush of the Black Dragon clan warriors appearing from all over the place made the already chaotic World Federation even more chaotic.
Besides, that was just the beginning.
Phaging!
Is it because the defense system is broken?
When knights in blue armor appeared from everywhere beyond space and defeated players individually throughout Athens.
The warriors of the Silver Dragon Clan, who rushed down the road, trampled on the assembled troops, albeit on a small scale.
The musketeers of the Golden Dragon clan, clad in heavy armor, along with the fighters of the Red Dragon clan, who rode armored vehicles, poured artillery fire at the large-scale army.
That look is truly devastating.
It looked like a world federation member would be unable to stop it.
So Leto shuddered.
Because I fully understood it.
This is the Seven Dragons.
The organization that brought the saints and archwitch who ruled the Silver Age to the back of history and gained world supremacy.
At the same time, even though they were called the Demonic Cult in the age of heroes, they were secretly secretive for hundreds of years.
‘…will it bounce?’
That’s why Leto broke out in a cold sweat.
Even the seven princesses of the Seven Dragons themselves were not enough, and even the defense system collapsed.
Is there a chance of winning in the meantime?
It was a hopeless situation.
But Leto did not run away.
‘No, there is still hope.’
The only defense system collapsed was the one installed in Athens.
Even the Seven Dragons couldn’t easily defeat the system of the most powerful headquarters.
If the internal power was maintained in that gap, it would not be as easy to collapse as before.
Of course, the biggest reason was that there was no way to escape because there were already plenty of masters of the Seven Dragons all over the place.
The fact that the seven dragons, who had actually attacked Athens, were tied to the defense system of the headquarters, added confidence to his judgment.
Quaang!
“Certainly this one is strong.”
“It’s a place designed to stop us in the first place.”
…I was sweating when the blue-haired knight and black-haired girl in the form of a half-man, half-dragon lightly shook the headquarters.
Fortunately.
Or unfortunately.
The two princesses no longer tried to break the defense system.
We just had a quiet conversation.
“What do you want, Li Qingyu? I think we can break through if everyone concentrates their strength.”
“No, you don’t have to…”
“Beep! Two people foul there! We ran to the point where we were sweating in our shoes, but how can we come so bitterly first?”
“War is not play, Yekathrice.”
“Whoever comes first, what do you think? The outcome won’t change anyway.”
‘…Damn it.’
The alliance members who were looking out the window, including Leto, broke into a cold sweat.
A silver-haired girl who appears leading a group of mounted warriors.
A red-haired queen who steps down in front of the fighters.
Even armor and a blonde beauty who approached.
It’s like you’re not going to fall behind.
The sight of the five princesses appearing one after another behind the black and blue princess made their pupils tremble.
More than anything…
that’s it.
“…!”
The sound of quiet steps echoes.
Of course, more than hundreds of masters.
Even the five princesses naturally step back to the left and right, and a figure slowly emerges between them.
pure white hair.
A scar around the left eye.
And even the sword at the waist.
Looking at the man with a blue bird on his shoulder, who could not be recognized, Leto swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.
“Swordsmith Limon Aspelder…”
It wasn’t the only thing that held his breath.
All the union members who had been burning their will to fight for even the final push a while ago were frozen.
I don’t know if it’s the past.
The sword masters are resurrected.
Now their true power is known.
Because there were few people who didn’t know what kind of monster Limon was, who single-handedly cut down most of the sword masters that existed in history.
Especially in this world federation.
So when they are hardened.
Tadadat!
‘at las!’
With light footsteps, a group of people ran from inside the headquarters.
Unlike other alliance members who were in confusion, Leto smiled as he saw hundreds of high-level players arranging each element in perfect order.
It wasn’t just the relief that the real elite had started moving.
It was because of the leading monarch.
Of course, against five princesses and swordsmiths, only one monarch seemed poor.
However, the fact that they also had an absolute was enough to boost their low morale.
If all the remaining lords and sword masters of the World Federation gather and fight together, they will be able to stand up to the Seven Dragons.
Fuck!
“uh?”
…okay.
If everyone fights together.
“What? Uh oh oh?!
So it was.
Why was Leto shocked?
This is because players who have settled in each element started attacking them all at once.
In the midst of such sudden betrayal of colleagues, the members of the federation are unable to even resist and fall down.
The man who single-handedly defeated the majority of the alliance members by activating dozens of skills simultaneously unlocked the headquarters’ defense system.
Wiing.
“welcome.”
Maybe because it was so unexpected.
In front of princesses with strange faces.
A man with a monocle, his hair covering half of his face, with his head bowed so naturally toward Limon, who was waiting with his arms crossed.
One of the few remaining monarchs in this World Federation.
The owner of the Infinity Guild.
Infinite Lord Lee Chun-gi.
At the same time…
“I have already finished organizing the interior.”
Ever since the World Federation was established.
The person who had served as an informant for the Seven Dragons all along greeted the Seven Dragons so politely.
