623. [Side Story] Last festival (13)
Dragon blood runaway.
It is a negative characteristic of Dusk Bringer that also existed in the game.
But only exist. I never used it when joining an ally, and never used it when coming out as an enemy.
I just figured out that there is such a background setting because I have it as a negative characteristic.
It is difficult from the activation condition, but you have to collect the dragon blood she distributed to the 4 knights under her direct command.
Of course, if you do this, the four dragon knights will lose their former strength.
So now, Dusk Bringer was using an expedient.
The four dragon knights under her direct command knelt down on one side of the arena and were connected to Dusk Bringer with red magic.
It seems that the dragon blood was reversed through that magic passage.
This would prevent the dragon knights from losing their power permanently, but it is the same that they cannot go into battle right away.
“…”
Kneeling down, returning the dragon blood to the owner through the connected magic passage.
The four knights were looking at their master with pity. A sad remorse crossed the face of the old knight-Endymion who stood in the lead.
Is it worth this runaway enough to activate that much?
Kwakwagwagwang!
“Whoaaaaagh!”
I don’t know the value, but the destructive power is really outrageous!
All of Dusk Bringer’s attacks, which entered the dragon blood runaway state, were changed to those of the dragon and poured over a wide area.
The entire area is devastated with a simple flat blow, and shockwaves spread out in all directions.
It literally turns into the standard of a ‘boss monster’.
‘Looking at it like this, it’s quite powerful!’
The downside isn’t over yet.
‘The next problem is that it cuts the lifespan…!’
I don’t know exactly what lifespan means to a Dragonblood Heir who lives on a half-human, half-dragon for hundreds of years! Anyway, it is clearly mentioned among the demerits of the setting.
During the dragon blood runaway, the life span of the dragon blood bearer is reduced.
“Haaaaaa…!”
Now, Dusk Bringer is risking his life to win the finals of the martial arts tournament and gain the right to control the black dragon subjugation…!
‘Even this is a big problem, but finally!’
The biggest reason I didn’t use this dragon blood runaway in the game was-
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
Reason is flying…!
The distinction between Pia and Pia is blurred, and her existence becomes more like a dragon than a human, or a monster if you want to categorize it more brutally.
In the game, it was implemented in such a way as to get out of control and attack allies.
And here in reality… Dusk Bringer opened his mouth, pouring a terrifying golden light from his eyes.
Between the characteristic sharp teeth, ignorant mana condensed. this this!
“Is it true, Grand Duke?! Isn’t this a bit too much?!”
“Then… Hurry up… Surrender…!”
Whoops, Dusk Bringer gathered his breath.
While we were frightened, we all rolled our bodies and evaded, just as we had trained for anti-dragon tactics.
and the next moment.
Tuhak-!
Kwakwagwagwang!
The dragon breath fired by Dusk Bringer exploded.
The whole stadium was razed to the ground, and the southern plain, where seats were not installed, was split in half. Whoaaaaaa!
“Breath! Hide to the corner-!”
Saying that, Evangeline, who put her shield in front, was hit by the tip of her breath and flew away.
“Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!”
“Evangeliiyyin!”
Avoid it, so why stop it!
Fortunately, he was hit on the edge, and thanks to his transcendent defense and [Damage Save], he was not seriously injured.
Seeing them rolling on the floor from afar, it is too much to return to the game right away!
Tuhak-!
Following the breath release, Dusk Bringer, who had rushed towards us, lightly turned his body once.
The red tail that sprouted from under her back was entwined with enormous magical energy – and it rushed towards us, sweeping the floor.
It’s a vending machine!
“You remember jumping rope?! Let’s avoid it at the same time! One two…”
I was going to count ‘three’, but the tail tail came at the ‘two’ timing. Wow!
Like me, who missed the timing, Junior, who was weak in physical training, screamed at the same time. I can’t avoid it!
“Huh!”
Then Lucas, who was out of breath, came out one by one with each arm, grabbed Junior by the back of the back, pulled him upward and jumped.
It swept right under the bridge, and Dusk Bringer’s tail slashed the floor. Dragon God, I’m afraid of dogs!
“But now I see some patterns!”
At my words, the main party members nodded at the same time.
The red dragon is also a dragon after all.
The pattern itself is the same as the Black Dragon.
If you apply the tactics against the polyp pattern that you have been training so far, you can cope enough…!
As we endured the chain of breaths and tail strikes, Dusk Bringer frowned.
“Ohhh, I tried to hurt him moderately and end it, but if he’s going to keep going like that…!”
Then, grabbing the greatsword of sunset light magic, it rushed at us.
“I have no choice but to make it more rough-!”
Then Lucas gritted his teeth and stepped forward, taking out the hilt of the sword with only the handle remaining from his bosom. It was [a gifted sword].
“I brought it just in case, and this happened…!”
A blade of light rose from the empty hilt, and Lucas collided with Dusk Bringer’s greatsword with the sword.
Tsukaan-!
Lucas’ blade of light was shattered with an absurdly simple blow, along with a clear blade.
“What?!”
Lucas, grinning at this, twisted his body to avoid the series of greatsword attacks.
Realizing that a head-to-head match was no match for the opponent, Lucas began to pass the time by removing the side of the greatsword with the rising blade of light again.
“Calm down, Grand Duke! What are you doing!”
“I am sober. Knight…!”
“This is a martial arts competition! It is not a matter of life and death, we are allies!”
“It’s a martial arts competition, but it’s also a tactical evaluation, isn’t it? and!”
Dusk Bringer roared wildly.
“There’s no way the black dragon will greet you with wooden swords and water cannons!”
Dusk Bringer jumped up and slammed the greatsword down.
Lucas even covered his entire body with a golden aura using [Descent of the Whole Body] and tried to counter it with a sword sword wrapped in [Strike of Will], but… “-This is
impossible!”
Right before the sword touched, he instinctively sensed danger, so he kicked off the ground and rolled his body away from the spot.
Quagmire!
The stadium floor exploded, spewing dirt and sand into the air. In the dust, Dusk Bringer’s golden eyes flashed terribly.
“You’re so good at escaping, you’re still a knight…!”
“A knight is a place where you prove your way of life, not the way you fight.”
Lucas responded calmly, even though he was breaking out in a cold sweat.
“Wouldn’t the Grand Duke do the same?”
“It’s arrogant to talk about the way of life to wine…!”
Dusk Bringer, who had hit the ground, attacked Lucas at once. Lucas continued to pass the time by narrowly avoiding the greatsword.
Dragons are powerful.
but it’s huge
Each attack is powerful, but the movements are large and heavy, and there are many gaps.
That’s why – identify patterns in advance and avoid them in advance.
This is the basic tactic against polyps.
‘You’re doing well, Lucas!’
I congratulated Lucas inwardly. While Lucas was buying time, Junior Damian and I were preparing countermeasures.
Kiyiing!
And Junior completed the magic.
What is the most effective magic against the boss monsters in Monster Front?
Of course, Junior’s ultimate skill [Dismantle Element]!
“Huh-!”
With the high-speed chanting function attached to the staff [Lord of Crimson], Junior finished casting his ultimate in 3 minutes and used [Dismantle Elements].
jjwoong-!
A halo rises in the air and hacks at the target’s magic…
“I won’t let it go like that!”
Then, suddenly, an old knight rushed in front of us.
It was Sir Endymion, the leading knight among the dragon knights under Dusk Bringer.
This handsome old man, with his gray hair neatly combed, blocked Junior’s cane with his body with incredible agility.
[Element Dissolution] was accepted instead of Sir Endymion, and Dusk Bringer was still alive.
“But I knew…”
Junior grinned and continued to point his cane at him.
“I’ve prepared a trump card too!”
Another performance of [Lord of Crimson].
That’s right… ‘multiple chanting’.
Instead of consuming mana relentlessly, it is possible to cast multiple spells at the same time.
Normally, I wouldn’t use it because of the horrible fuel economy, but now it’s an emergency!
And Junior can use his SSR grade wizard robe [Past Future] to receive magic from the future and use it.
It was a long talk, but anyway! I chanted a lot of this fraudulent ultimate called [Elemental Dissolution] at the same time-
Zeng! Zeng! Whoa-!
That continuous firing became possible!
[Element dismantling] was completed in succession. However, the remaining dragon knights rushed in succession, and the composition was repeated instead.
The dragon knights waited as if they were concerned about Junior’s magic from the beginning, and received it with their bodies.
“Ugh, the world is spinning…”
Junior, who fired 4 shots in a row, collapsed with a nosebleed. At the same time, the four dragon knights who were hit by the element disintegration knelt on the floor.
Looking at this, Dusk Bringer laughed.
“ha ha ha! The number of spleens has run out. What are you going to do now, Ash?”
But I also laughed.
“How about the Grand Duke… I think the number of spleens is coming to an end as well?”
“…!”
Dusk Bringer was startled. The darkness that hung over her whites was dissipating.
It was a signal that the ‘dragon blood runaway’ was about to stop.
All four dragon knights were hit with [Element Dissolution]. Naturally, the magic furnace connected to Dusk Bringer was cut off, and the supply of dragon blood was also cut off.
Dusk Bringer’s hemolytic runaway seemed to be gradually fading as enough hemolysis was not collected.
“Isn’t it enough if I defeat all of you before that!”
Dusk Bringer roared loudly and kicked off the ground and flew toward me.
Lucas, who was trying to stop him, was hit by Dusk Bringer’s surprise tail slap and fell out.
And at the same time,
“I found it, Prince!”
Damian shouted.
“Reverse! It’s below the fake dragon’s neck!”
“good! Beat Damian!”
Damian was constantly looking for the winning point of this game – the fake dragon’s wrath.
Before I could even speak, Damian had already put an arrow on his bowstring and
said, “Are you just watching?!”
Dusk Bringer was falling on top of Damian.
blah blah!
The swinging magic greatsword tore Damian’s bow to pieces.
“Wow?!”
Standing in front of Damian, who quickly raised his hands in a sign of surrender, Dusk Bringer let out a ferocious breath.
“Seriously, why do you have so many hoards for Ash…!”
“haha. The Grand Duke is also the prince’s trump card. The prince believes in the grand duke.”
Dusk Bringer flinched at Damian’s words.
“I’m sure you’ll move like this.”
“…!”
Dusk Bringer’s terrifying eyes swiveled at me. eek!
Charleureuk!
I raised the magic wall to the floor and split the arena like a surfboard – I was already in front of the fake dragon.
After deciding that Dusk Bringer would first block Damian’s sniping, he used Damian as bait. From the moment I found the reverse, I ran towards the fake dragon.
“ash-!”
Tuhak!
Dusk Bringer hit the ground and chased after me, flapping his wings.
However, no matter how fast Dusk Bringer is, the distance is already wide.
“Checkmate!”
I lifted the flagpole and aimed at the end of it.
At that time, Dusk Bringer shouted, rushing behind me and holding up a greatsword.
“Get out of the way, Ash! I am the one who leads the black dragon subjugation! I must! This is my destiny!”
“….”
“If you don’t get out of the way… even if it’s you, I’ll cut you!”
I glanced back and said,
“No, I can’t cut the Archduke.”
I smiled lightly.
“There’s no way the Archduke would ever touch this lovely nephew’s body, right?”
“…!”
Dusk Bringer shouted with a distorted face.
“I could blow off your limbs to save your life! Get out of there right now!”
“I believe in the Archduke. So I won’t get out of the way.”
“Ash hey!”
Dusk Bringer, who reached me, swung down his magical greatsword without hesitation.
Quadd Deuk!
The greatsword that cut off the fake dragon’s throat and reached right over my head…
boom…!
Stopped.
I couldn’t even reach the ends of my hair and Dusk Bringer forced me to stop.
“Ha ha ha ha ha…”
Traces of dragon blood runaway were already disappearing from Dusk Bringer’s body, who was gasping for breath.
The horns, wings, and tail all change and disappear like a haze. The whites of the eyes also returned to their normal appearance.
Passs…
Eventually, even the magic greatsword in his hand could not handle the extreme consumption of magic power and disappeared.
Looking up at me with his long black hair that was finely braided and completely unwilling to fight… Dusk Bringer muttered with tears in his eyes.
“…It’s shameful, really.”
I know it too.
I smiled at her and poked the flagpole with all my might into the fake dragon’s wrath.
