279. Destroyer (2)
I learned something about the seven-colored dragons that exist all over the world.
‘I heard that if all the dragons work together, they can suppress the power of the gods who want to invade the world.’
It’s not that special.
I just learned that dragons play the same role as native deities in this world.
Maybe if the dragons join forces, the world won’t come to an end right away.
At the very least, it would be possible to prevent the divinity from running amok on this land.
At least, that would be the case until the evil spirit came directly.
‘I guess the process of the trial is to get all the dragons’ recognition.’
And accordingly, the dragons will have to get what they want and give them away.
Without looking at it for a long time, the contents will be drawn in your head.
However, I had no intention of taking the dragons’ recognition so hard.
Because…
‘Even if it’s a dragon, it will become mild if you defeat it a few times.’
Because I am not weak enough to follow the progress of the ordeal as it is now.
At least the enemies who didn’t even have a divinity were not worth fighting.
Not even a little bit.
‘Unless the dragon becomes a formal god, there will be no other way to resist.’
It was worth it.
The power he gained while growing as a godhead is at that level.
Even a native deity could easily subdue it.
So even though I knew I was going to the black dragon, I didn’t worry about anything.
If you don’t have a tolerable level of strength and dignity, you won’t be able to do me any harm.
‘I don’t think it’s that complicated.’
However, the iron-blooded lord seemed to have a different idea.
“My dear. That… Yesterday’s statement about defeating the dragon… was just a joke, right?”
Suddenly, the iron-blooded lord spoke abruptly as if he was uneasy.
Currently, I am riding a horse and attached to the Iron Blood Lord’s side.
She patted the horse’s reins, her eyes flashing nervously.
Actually…
“You just have to protect the Imperial Army until you go to the dragon.”
In the words of the iron-blooded lord, I felt an indelible anxiety.
“There is also a negotiation plan prepared by the Empire, so you don’t have to use that much effort.”
It’s as if you’re telling me to stay still and not think like this.
Actually, I don’t intend to follow that, but if I say no anyway, what will they say?
So, after listening to her words, I nodded and replied.
“All right.”
“…a face that doesn’t seem to understand at all.”
“no. I’ve got it right, so don’t worry.”
“…then it wouldn’t matter. Even if I talk anyway, I don’t think they’ll listen.”
The iron-blooded lord said that as if he was dumbfounded, then immediately cut off his words.
Perhaps now he has learned that no matter what I say, he doesn’t listen.
Anyway, it wasn’t too bad, so I passed the time quietly on my horse.
And he repeated his victories against the servants of evil spirits who often appeared.
But the harvest was not so great.
「Challenger Seong-yoon Han is 0.00007% closer to the 2nd ascension by winning the enemies.」 「As a
special reward for < Ascension of Divinity >, you will acquire the exclusive effect, ‘Increase in demonic energy (D-)’.」 「From
now on, Seong-yoon Han of the challenger Magi’s concentration slightly rises.」
It was all the compensation that could be said to be dust at most.
It was worth it.
Because there was no enemy at the level of an apostle among those who worshiped the evil spirits who attacked them so far.
Even if they brought items such as holy relics, no one with a high rank came.
And that’s just one person.
‘As if looking at the level, only useless guys are being sent.’
Maybe I’m trying to look at the power I have…
Anyway, in the face of overwhelming power, it was meaningless to look at something and unfold a strategy.
Divine magic, skill, power, etc…
Among the many abilities I currently have, none of them can handle it properly.
So, even if those who serve evil spirits are plotting something, it is laughable.
‘There’s no way I can measure the level with just these things.’
At the very least, if he tried to bring out all his power, the evil spirit would have to appear.
Not as an incarnation, but as a body.
However, there was no way that the evil spirit could appear immediately without establishing the law of cause and effect.
At the very least, there must be something instrumental that can bring about the end of this world.
So, time passed without meaning.
And…
「Achievement ‘Dragon Seeker’ has been achieved.」
「Exclusive permission #D-0007 [Increase reward] is automatically activated when the conditions are met.」
「The reward level obtained from the achievement increases.」
「 All stats increase by 4.」
Before I knew it, I was able to arrive at the forest where the black dragon lives.
***
Great Tree Forest.
We arrived at the Dark Elf clan’s domain and at the same time the Black Dragon settled down.
I quietly widened my senses and looked beyond, and the iron-blooded lord was genuinely impressed.
“I never thought I could come here without any damage…”
She glanced back at the soldiers with her red eyes shining like starlight.
“You have accomplished a great feat against the servants of the evil spirit.”
And the iron-blooded lord smiled, and soon reached out his fist and touched his shoulder.
Is it because we’ve been talking to each other and getting to know each other?
I laughed at her playful behavior.
‘Still, I’ve never expressed emotions like this before.’
Even the iron blooded lord with whom he had a relationship as a manager had never behaved so casually.
Even for a few days, she tried to hide her emotions and read her intentions.
It means that the iron-blooded monarch’s feelings are gradually getting closer…
To be honest, I felt proud that I made her open her heart, even though it was the reward of the ordeal.
Although I haven’t completely opened the wall of my heart yet.
Still, shouldn’t we put significance on moving forward?
“Han Seong-yoon.”
The iron-blooded lord’s red eyes sparkled with a hint of trust.
“It is your achievement that the Imperial Army came here without shedding blood like this.”
It was worth it.
It’s because I’ve been coming here and slaying all the followers who worship evil spirits.
But even so, I didn’t act too proud and answered simply.
It actually wasn’t that difficult either.
“Is that so.”
The iron-blooded lord said with a smile on his face.
“Yes. Without your strength, the Imperial Army would not have been able to come here. There really is no such thing as a dream.”
“If so, I’m glad.”
“Perhaps, if we succeed in persuading the Black Dragon and return to the empire, we will be able to move beyond the position of general manager and obtain the position of monarch.”
“…”
she continued with a bright smile.
“If that time comes, I will be able to fulfill my wish.”
An expression like that of an innocent girl chasing her dreams.
“hope?”
I had to pause for a moment.
It was worth it.
Isn’t the iron-blooded lord’s secret wish not to be able to protect the empire?
However, as he was suddenly speaking of another wish, he could not help but be interested.
But there was no time to worry about it.
‘Living…’
Suddenly, I felt the feeling of living beyond the Great Forest.
Soon, the moment he got off the horse with cold eyes.
An arrow imbued with magic that was shot without a sound aimed at the forehead.
Knock-!
But I grabbed the arrow with my left hand right before it hit the middle of my forehead.
Even if it had magical powers, the level wasn’t that high.
In fact, even the iron-blooded lord easily blocked the arrows.
Kwajik-!
“Is it an arrow shot by the Dark Elves? Excessive. They are more aggression than normal elves.”
The iron-blooded lord said that, frowning as if it hurt to hit the arrow with the back of his hand.
And accordingly, a voice was suddenly heard from beyond.
It’s also very cold.
-Are you here to cross the line on the subject of pollutants abandoned in the world?
“It’s a technique that spreads voices with magic power, isn’t it?”
But thanks to that, I was able to roughly know the level of the opponent.
‘Isn’t the level of the clan called the Dark Elves too high?’
It was worth it.
Perhaps the one who delivers the words is one of the combatable members of the clan…
The level is very low after tracing back to where the magical power in the air leads to.
If I were to be a challenger to the tower, should I say that he is only at the level of a 10th floor?
However, I was surprised to see him showing such confidence.
‘It’s certain that at least the mind itself is twisted.’
The moment when he laughed at the opponent’s foolishness.
-You…
Suddenly, the voice in the air became even colder.
-Why are you laughing so much at the subject of mere polluted garbage?
“me?”
-Yes. you. human male. Just looking at your face makes me sick to my stomach. why did you smile
“That’s right, you’re laughing because you’re doing something funny, right?”
-You mean it’s fun…?
“That’s right. You don’t know what it is and suddenly get angry. A knack for entertaining people.”
-under! What’s so fun about being angry? As you can imagine, the contaminants don’t really know their subject!
“…”
Honestly, at this point, isn’t there a little bit of a problem with your mind?
I was dumbfounded to see the Dark Elves suddenly talking about pollutants like that.
It made me want to send out at least a starlight and set the forest on fire.
But I held back my anger by letting out a deep sigh.
“Han Seong-yoon.”
It was worth it.
“Don’t consume your emotions on the dark elves.”
It was because the iron-blooded lord placed a hand on his shoulder and asked for it.
“It’s only over if I get permission to meet the black dragon anyway.”
Actually, there is nothing wrong with that.
If you can get in touch with the black dragon, those things don’t matter too much anyway.
As I sorted my thoughts out like that, the thought of using unnecessary energy soon disappeared.
‘… let’s wait. The ones that don’t matter too much anyway. It’s over when I meet the black dragon.’
And soon, I controlled my anger and continued.
“Dark Elf. Currently, the world is in chaos because of evil spirits. You should know this.”
It’s nothing else…
“I’m just going to get recognition from the black dragon for protecting the world.”
As an intelligent creature, it attempted ‘negotiation’.
“So, if you get out of the way, I will meet the black dragon without getting entangled with you.”
okay.
Perhaps this is the right thing to do.
As people often say, ‘if you memorize patience three times, you can avoid even murder.’
Even a dark elf who lacks intellect can overcome it without a fight if he has patience…
-Yes! you know well They’re fighting against each other, polluted scum. So what is it?
“….”
-Black Dragon is the guardian of the Dark Elf clan! Polluted things like you can’t meet! Ugly, disgusting, contradictory beings!
“…”
-Even if the evil spirit rules the world, the Black Dragon will protect the Dark Elves! There is no way to stop the evil spirits from cleaning up all the pollutants!
“Ha…”
-You guys are just polluting the given nature, isn’t it? Just be trampled on and die. And he cried out bitterly and apologized to us…
“Then let’s stop now.”
Only then did I interrupt the Dark Elf with a smile.
It was worth it.
Because I knew that the dark elf clan wasn’t as gentle as I thought.
And then I immediately activated the power skill and continued.
Kiyiying-!
「The power skill ‘Starlight’ is activated and a starlight containing the divine < death > is created.
」
It was only now that I realized that the saying that if you have three people to endure, you can avoid murder is wrong.
-What…! Wait a minute…! human! You…! What the hell are you trying to do…!
It was worth it.
“For now, let’s settle our anger once and negotiate like intelligent creatures.”
If it’s just one murder from the beginning, isn’t it necessary to memorize the seal three times?
“Then you will be able to think rationally too.”
And…
“Isn’t it?”
next moment.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
In the blink of an eye, black starlight engulfed half of the Great Forest.
