632. [Evil Side] Tustibean, the
fang of the black dragon.
The huge evil dragon fell to its side and died. A miserable figure with most of his face blown off.
“….”
Dusk Bringer stood expressionless in front of the body of the fallen man.
She was covered in soot because she was swept away by his breath.
The armor retains its shape, but it is damaged, all the clothes are shaggy and the black hair that was desirable is a mess.
I stood next to him and muttered.
“Come to think of it, it must be the first time you personally defeated the Black Dragon Corps.”
There are a total of seven dragons belonging to the Black Dragon Corps.
Among them, we have currently conquered three.
One I killed at the Coliseum in my first year and one I captured a few days ago… This is the first time I’ve defeated it properly with a raid.
“How do you feel? You defeated your nemesis.”
It reminded me of a conversation I had with Dusk Bringer earlier.
I told the black dragon that ‘being born is a sin’.
Because of the bad relationship that had been passed down from his ancestors and because of the difference in values surrounding the existence of the world… Dusk Bringer hated Black Dragon from the depths of his soul.
“…I don’t know. I feel weird.”
However, Dusk Bringer’s voice was not as venomous as it was back then.
“As soon as we met, I realized. Me and this guy are destined to fight and kill each other.”
“…”
“I still have no change in my thoughts. The very existence of black dragons is a sin, and I can’t let these guys who are trying to destroy the world live… I believe it’s my belief and natural order.”
Dusk Bringer looked down at Tustibean’s open eyes and pursed his lips.
“But for some reason… when I met eyes with this person. I wondered if it would have been okay if we had spoken a few more words before we killed each other.”
Right after that, Dusk Bringer burst out laughing.
“Being next to you seems to have weakened me too.”
“…”
“Don’t get me wrong. Black dragons are the ones who eventually want to destroy the world, and we have to kill them at least for survival. I just said.”
Dusk Bringer stuttered and then spat out.
“Because of nostalgia.”
“Perfume?”
“Yes perfume. They are nemesis who must fight and kill each other, but they are also the same dragon. They can only be reunited in this now extinct form… because they are a race with the same origin. It is just a nostalgia for the old things that came on a whim.”
Dusk Bringer, who fired at me, glanced at me.
“Get rid of these useless sentiments and trivial worries. We must become iron men and fight. You know, Ash?”
She brushed off the soot from her body and trudged along. The tangled hair fluttered away.
“…”
Taking my gaze away from her, I looked around the warehouse where allied heroes were starting to organize.
Inside the munitions warehouse, many valuable items were piled up. In addition to the treasures the dragon had collected in the Dragon Rare, several military items stored during the Lake Kingdom were left behind.
‘Of course, these are great loot, but the biggest loot is.’
It is Tustibean itself.
Tustibean was the first intact dragon carcass we got. In other words, it meant that it was possible to make full-scale dragon slayer equipment.
The equipment that could be made with Parekian’s claws was limited.
SR was the limit for ratings. But now, bones, leather, scales, hearts… You will be able to craft equipment with various parts.
Through the activated teleport gate, all items inside the warehouse were carried to the crossroads. Evangeline, who was watching this, smiled.
“If you do it this way, the rest of the dragons will be easy to catch, right?”
“Uh huh.”
I said no flags!
When I pretended to tap my index finger on Evangeline’s mouth, Evangeline pursed her lips in displeasure.
Lucas came next to me and put his index finger on Evangeline’s lips as if it looked funny.
Evangeline widened her eyes and chewed on Lucas’ finger.
As I listened to the screams of Lucas, I told the main party members around me.
“The following dragons are the real ‘Dragon Raid’. It will be a difficult battle that cannot be compared to anything before.”
Kilithian, Parekian, and Tusvetian.
Somewhere (or a few places) each had a clear weakness compared to the other dragons.
The guys you’ll encounter in the future are different.
They are dragons that can use all the powers of a dragon and each have their own special strengths. It won’t be an easy fight.
‘After full-fledged dragon slayer production and thorough preparation… one by one.’
I took a deep breath. And glanced at the system window.
[STAGE 40]
– Until the start: 25th
Stage 40… Less than 4 weeks left until the Night Bringer invades the Crossroads.
The rough road ahead of us was getting narrower and rougher.
To the extent that it is difficult to leave the worries of being full in my head any longer.
***
Lake Kingdom District 10.
The fountain square in front of the royal castle.
Since it was not the time of flooding, purified clear water was gushing out of the huge fountain.
All of the demon guards who originally guarded the capital fled to this place where there were no human beings.
Whiik-
thump…!
A huge dragon spread its wings and flew and landed.
The dragon’s entire body was completely covered with black scales, as if it were wearing well-refined armor.
Its neck split into three on top of its gracefully curved body, and each one had a fiercely gleaming head attached to it.
Three-Headed Dragon.
‘Eye of the Black Dragon’. Ipian.
[The meeting place was here.]
The middle head gave a solemn voice, and the left head snorted.
[What do you know, asshole. You didn’t talk to us and made an appointment as you did.]
[…]
Then the right head nodded and muttered.
[I’m sleepy… I want to sleep…]
[…]
The left head of a swear word spitting out swear words and the right head starting to snore in real sleep.
Ipian’s middle head looked at both sides and let out a long sigh. I’ve been with these two for so many years, but I’m really sick of it.
[Yes, you keep cursing and you keep sleeping. I will supervise the meeting.]
[Ah?! Again, sneakily, you’re trying to take the initiative, hey! All three of us are ‘Black Dragon’s Eyes’. Don’t keep acting arrogant on your own, because you’re unlucky!]
[…Grumble…]
While the three heads were fighting and dozing off like that, another dragon cut through the sky and approached the plaza.
It was a dragon with huge wings stretched out to the left and right. Its wings, unlike common dragons, were full of abundant feathers.
The dragon gracefully turned around in the air, folded its wings, and lightly landed on the plaza.
It was ‘Wings of the Black Dragon’ Winged Huan.
[It’s been a while, eldest brothers…]
Winged Huan was speechless. It was because Ipian’s three heads were busy fighting among themselves whether or not he came.
[Rather than you ignorant bastard, it’s natural for me to be the representative and lead the meeting!]
[You always pretend to be proud, but whose judgment was the reason we died in our previous lives? Aang?!]
[Cool cool…]
After examining Ipian’s three heads alternately, Wing De Huan sighed, saying, ‘This is it again’.
Behind Winged Juan, the monsters he used as his subordinates, the so-called ‘Guardians’, rushed in and set up camp as if to be wary of the surroundings.
Unlike other dragons, Winged Huan, who actively enjoys group formation, has conquered and subdued several legions of monsters.
Wingedhuan was waited on by his men and watched leisurely as his eldest brother’s heads battled each other.
And at this time.
[Wow! I’m sorry bros! It’s too late!]
Finally, another dragon appeared cutting through the sky.
It was a long snake-like dragon with four legs. It looked like it would be enshrined as a divine beast not here on the continent, but across the sea to the east.
The dragon flew away with its long beard fluttering, and strangely, large glasses were worn on its eyes.
The Black Dragon’s Puritan Skairian.
Even Skairian, who had flown in and fluttered as if levitating, landed on the plaza. Finally, all three dragons that were supposed to gather for this meeting were convened.
Ipian’s middle head smiled and looked back at his two younger siblings.
[Yes, it’s been a while. Winged Huan. Skairian. How’s everyone doing…]
[What the fuck! Really, these names are like X that I remember every time I see them!]
The left head broke into it with a temper.
[I’m confused like X, so I’ll just call you wing scales from now on. Is it okay?]
[…]
[You can also call me ‘Eye-color’, isn’t it okay?!]
Not only Ipian’s middle head, but also Winged Juan and Skairian were all taken aback.
Big! Wing de Juan made a suggestion, clearing his throat with a sound.
[…It’s hard to have a conversation at this rate, so why don’t you polymorph first?]
It was embarrassing to make such a fuss with the size of a dragon. More than anything else, the left side of Ipian’s head was so terrifying that it was painful to hear her voice.
The three dragons who agreed simultaneously transformed into human form using the power of the dragon tribe – polymorph magic.
It was a power that younger siblings below them could not use, but it was easy for those who were ‘perfect dragons’.
It was the eldest brother Ipian who finished the transformation first.
Black hair cut short and dressed in elegant black armor. And this man, who wore long earrings as decoration, had three eyes.
Even the third eye opened vertically between the eyebrows – a being with a total of three golden eyes.
After the polymorph, this dragon looked fine on the outside, but
[I take the initiative!]
[Shut up, only you are having fun! I do it today!]
[It’s noisy. Let’s get some sleep, really…]
The three eyes rolled and glared at each other, and words came out alternately through one mouth.
As soon as he polymorphed into a human, looking at the eldest brother who had become a third person, Winged Juan and Skairian thought at the same time.
‘Crazy…’
Wingedhuan was a handsome male Skairian with ponytails and a coat decorated with feathers.
[Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…]
For a while to fight for leadership from within.
Ipian’s right eye and middle eye were tightly closed, and only the left eye was wide open.
[Okay, little brothers! This body is occupied by this body!]
It seems that the left head has won.
Ipian dug his ears and asked in front of his two younger siblings who thought they were sick every time he saw them.
[So what was it? why did we meet today? Tell me about the wing scales.]
[…Eye-shaped brother brought us together.]
[Huh?! Was it?]
Actually, the reason was obvious.
It was because a series of troubles had recently occurred in the Black Dragon Corps.
[Parekkian went missing, and Tustibean died some time ago. It seems that the guardian of the royal family brought an army to do this.]
When Wing De Huan calmly explained, Ipian burst into anger.
[Anyway, it’s hard to memorize the names of these fucking dragons! What part are they in?!]
…The reason for getting angry was a bit different.
Winged Juan, not Wings, sighed. I just decided to match my current IPian or eye color.
[Claws and molars. The two of them went missing and died.]
[Anyway, these scumbags from their previous lives are still being robbed like dogs!] The
grumpy eyes asked with a puzzled look.
[But what… didn’t we have another younger brother?]
[Kiltian… Are you talking about drops of blood? Didn’t she die two years ago?]
[Oh, my poor, weak little sister! It finally died again!]
A sighing look followed.
[Killed by whom?]
[Killed by the guardian of royalties.]
[That bastard! Dare my precious little sister! I will definitely kill you!]
The reaction was delayed by about two years, but it was a look that cherished the younger brother. Even though the younger brothers don’t seem to care much about whether they die or not…
[Why don’t we have a meeting about it today?]
The wings calmly examined the eyes and scales alternately and whispered.
[Guardian of royalties. He’s leading his own army against us. What punishment will be given to this arrogant human… it must be decided.]
