637. [Free Exploration]
A few days after Black Dragon’s Wings.
As soon as the training of heroes to go on the front line and the production of dragon slayer equipment were finished, I led the heroes on the march.
“There is an escort force called ‘Guardian’ in Wing de Huan’s lair of the black dragon’s wing.”
One of the essential elements of dragon rare.
Guard force guardian.
They are subordinates who protect dragons who often fall into a long sleep like bears in winter.
From the time of rare construction, they are hired like butlers, inherited from their parent dragons, and bring them from adventures to the outside world
. He is an attendant who carries a sword and is a janitor who replenishes his head whenever he fights enemies. This is the Dragon Guardian.
However, in the dungeon under the lake here, the Black Dragon Corps played their own rares, but did not introduce new guardians.
Because I couldn’t trust the monsters around me.
What do you believe in these villains who are always ready to hit each other in the back of the head? Even most of the monsters are strong people who almost destroyed the world.
But Winged Juan was different. He had recruited several legions of monsters to suit his taste and used them as guardians.
“Is there anything you believe in? How can I have multiple corps with other kaiju corps as subordinates?”
Evangeline asked and I grinned.
“Guess. How was it?”
“Um… Did they pay you well?”
“What’s the use of wages under this lake?”
“Ambitious or charming?”
“Well, there may be ambition and charm, but not for those reasons.”
“Did you wave a fucking flag because you had a goddamn cause?!”
“It’s not like that…”
I just said the correct answer.
“The answer is mind control.”
“ah.”
“Winged Juan is a dragon who is good at mind control among the members of the Black Dragon Corps. I use mental control over the army of monsters I like and use them as my guardians.”
A dragon that not only can use all the powers of a dragon, but also specializes in mind control and disturbance. That is Winged Huan.
So, I chose my first opponent. It’s because it’s a counter with this ability.
‘Of course, you can counter the special ability side, but the body raid is a different matter…’
I nodded my head as I looked back at the subordinates following me.
“I’ve been training hard for the past few days for custom opponents… I think I’ll be able to win.”
Not only did everyone go through the last-minute training, but they were adding equipment and armaments to the limit.
“…is it really okay to do this?”
In particular, Quylan was in a state where I was struggling and eventually wore new armor and gauntlets on top of fur. Should I say it looks like a werewolf in armor?
Instead of answering, I only gave a thumbs up.
No, equipment stats are copied? Since ancient times, illegal modification of the equipment compartment has been a necessary skill for speed runners. Let’s use it sparingly, too.
Slowly and quietly-
The five knights following me from an appropriate distance- The Glory Knights were also fully armed.
These knights, who were handed over to me by the emperor, are taking on the role of bodyguards to protect my safety in this dungeon, perhaps because they were not the imperial bodyguard for nothing.
Hecate, who had always not worn armor, was fully dressed in blue armor that covered his entire body this time.
It seems that Lucas handed over his armor [Suwol].
“It suits you well too.”
Lucas looked over and nodded in satisfaction.
“It seems to be the armor that the lord made for me. It would be nice even if another knight wore it.”
“What’s the matter with you giving away your armor?”
Secretly, this guy’s attachment to my equipment was no joke. Why did you willingly give in?
“That’s because the lord gave me a better armor… this black rind.”
“…Black Rin?”
“Even Su-wol would prefer going to the battlefield rather than just hanging out in the warehouse.”
“…success? Are you calling your armor like a human?”
Anyway, the knights… They’re all a bit strange…
“Above all, Hecate has a relationship with the lord. I am qualified to wear the armor made by my lord.”
Anyway, because of this and that, Hecate also had to wear armor. I was very anxious to see him walking around naked, but it worked out.
Hecate, who had been waddling slightly as if the armor he had worn for the first time in a while, narrowed his eyes at Lucas and muttered.
“…Should I continue filming or not?”
“huh? What do you mean?”
“There is something like that.”
Evangeline, who had been listening to the conversation between Hecate and Lucas, made a hooah sound and suddenly pretended to strike the ax with her hand in the empty air.
I was puzzled and asked.
“Why are you like that again?”
“No, I want to take a picture more actively in the future…”
“…?”
I didn’t know why, so I tilted my head and looked back at Junior and Damian.
“What are you filming? What kind of slang is that?”
“Well? Ahaha…”
Junior sighed and Damian smiled kindly.
“I don’t know, but anyway, it will hurt if I get filmed, so come to me. I will cast a healing spell.”
“Thank you, Damian… These days, young generation terminology is difficult.”
Well, we were moving forward while having this nonsensical conversation, but in front of us… Dusk Bringer, who was walking at the forefront of the party, looked back at us with a slightly nervous expression.
“It’s good to lighten the mood, but be cautious. It is his domain.”
“…!”
Soon it started showing up.
A large ornate building surrounded by a wide fence. This place, which looks like an ancient temple… is
the District 9 dungeon ‘Art Museum’.
This is the place where Winged Huan played a rare.
“What kind of art museum is this? It looks like a palace in terms of scale…”
A voice answered my murmur.
“Because it was actually a palace. It was one of the royal villas, but as it was no longer in use… it was repurposed as an art gallery that collects and displays various artworks.”
Everyone looked in that direction and saw an unknown person leaning against the fence of the museum and waving in this direction.
“cotton!”
“I was waiting for you, Ash. go with me.”
Nameless had been joining the Black Dragon Corps subjugation every battle.
Where else could there be an ally as strong as this princess in the darkness under the lake. I put on a big smile and Moo-myeong stood next to me with something like ‘don’t like it too much’.
Kiik-
The old, large iron gates in the garden fence opened to the left and right.
We stepped inside, keeping our hands on each weapon and keeping a close watch on our surroundings. The wide road leading from the entrance to the museum was well paved.
and
“…!”
the middle of the road. Right in the middle of the main gate and the museum.
There were two monsters spreading cool energy.
One was a headless knight in old armor… The other was a woman with a hunched back and a veil covering her face, sobbing incessantly.
Dullahan, the headless knight.
And Banshee, the Weeping Fairy.
These two monster corps, which are powerful enough as individual corps, are Winged Huan’s subordinates. It was a guardian who guarded Winged Juan.
‘Guardian’s selection is bad taste…’
They both look so damn scary Sifal! A horror movie special?
When the enemy appeared, my heroes prepared for battle in unison, but the response of the monsters was unexpectedly opposite.
[Welcome, guardian of public interest. I’ve been waiting.]
With a voice like scratching an iron plate, the commander of the corps durahan said.
I didn’t know how to say it because I didn’t have a head, but when I looked closely, I saw a helmet on one arm. It seems that the severed head is stored there.
[Hey hey hey hey hey hey…]
The banshee corps commander also sobbed. Are you just crying? The rhythm has changed a bit, so it looks like they are talking.
I said, ‘Who understands that?’ As I looked back, my heroes all shook their heads in unison. I guess not everyone understands.
[The owner is waiting. This way.]
“Uh huh…”
Anyway, they didn’t hostile us, but rather guided us inside.
Lucas shook his head very vigorously, but I followed Dullahan without hesitation.
“As the head of the world defense front, I have to become the world’s best party people, so I don’t refuse any invitations.”
“Someone heal my senior’s swollen liver…”
Evangeline sighed and immediately Damian used ‘Get better’ on my stomach. Does that make my fatty liver better? I need to reduce the alcohol absorption that has increased significantly these days.
Jokes and bullshit continue, but anyway, it’s not like this without any countermeasures. Knowing that, my subordinates followed me silently.
“….”
Dullahan Corps Commander and Banshee Corps Commander quietly lead us to guide us.
I observed the two monsters closely. It had the appearance of a typical monster as seen in the game, but there was something a little unusual about it.
‘Feathers…’
There are lots of feather decorations all over the body. It is a black, shiny feather.
I narrowed my eyes.
[Heukheuk heuk heuk heuk heuk heuk…]
“By the way, what is he talking about?”
[Huh uh uh uh huh huh huh huh hmm.]
Banshee sobbed as if he was almost pouring out rap, and I, who became uncomfortable, asked Dyurahan. Is there no mute button?
[…never mind. Is it just a simple warning?]
“Warning?”
When I questioned myself, Dullahan gave a short answer.
[Warning not to become like us.]
After walking for a while, we arrived at the main building of the museum.
It was a huge palace built like an ancient temple, but as we stood in front of the main building, a huge stone gate slowly opened from the inside.
Koo Goo Goo…!
And finally, when the stone gate was wide open…
[Welcome, the guardian of royalties.]
The owner of this place was waiting for us in the spacious lobby of the museum.
[I was waiting.]
It was a man with long, glossy black hair tied back in a ponytail and a coat covered in feathers.
He smiled and rolled his golden eyes. I called the other person’s name.
“Wing de Juan…”
[Thank you for calling my name properly. My eldest brother doesn’t remember my name, and my father doesn’t care about my name.]
Smiling bitterly, he turned around and entered the building. The sound of shoes clattering echoed in the spacious lobby.
[Why don’t we talk a little before the match?]
“What kind of story? They probably have no common interests other than fighting and killing each other.”
[haha. Would it be possible to use it only when beings with intelligence are at odds with each other?]
“But they admit that they are beings with intelligence?”
I thought he would arrogantly spit out clichéd repertoires like ‘human beings’, but surprisingly it wasn’t.
Then Winged Huan laughed.
[Listen. After fighting for the life and death of the world, I died once and then came back to life after a long time… All the dragons were destroyed, and the beings I regarded as pets are ruling the world.] I dare to try to understand from his point of view
. did.
So roughly, World War 3 broke out and humanity was destroyed. When I wake up from a frozen capsule, dogs and cats are building a country and ruling the world.
What do dragons feel like…?
[The idea that you are lowly and lowly beings is the same.]
“Oh, sure enough.”
[But you have established your own civilization and, above all, you have defeated three of my younger siblings.]
Wing de Huan looked through the artworks displayed in the lobby.
There was a smile on his face, but the emotion in that smile was far from the joy of seeing a beautiful work of art.
It was close to admiring the children playing in the soil.
[The world will perish at the hands of our black dragon army anyway, and all life on the ground will burn under our black flame.]
“….”
[Before that… I want to ask you, especially the guardian of public interest.]
Winged turned around Juan stared blankly at me and finally asked the main point.
[Why did you decide to attack me first? Why did you decide to attack me first and not my brother or sister?]
“….”
[Purely curious. What basis did you have for deciding to attack me first?]
In the end, that seems to be the problem.
Why did you beat yourself first out of the remaining three?
He asked me seriously, so I answered honestly.
“You already know the answer, right?”
I didn’t hide it, I kept my scorn.
“You’re the best, this X rice cub.”
[…]
From my point of view, it came out politely, but I didn’t know that I would throw it so straightforwardly. Winged Juan’s mouth opened slightly.
But since you’re polite, I’m answering honestly.
“Of the three, you are the weakest, pathetic, and stupid. That’s why I decided to give it away first. What are you asking for the obvious?”
We’re busy! It’s hard and we don’t have enough time to kill your brother and dad!
Hurry up and spit out the ingredients you bastard!
