649. [Free Exploration] Eyes of the Black Dragon (3)
The vanguard heroes who rushed like wild beasts poured an attack into the gap between the scales in succession.
puck! Fuck! Puffy…!
Ipian had no fatal injuries because even the leather inside the scales was so hard, but the damage was accumulated as the wounds were etched and blood splattered.
[Keuuuuuuu…]
Ipian, who couldn’t stand it, spread his wings and tried to get out of the seat by flying.
Tuhak! Tuhak!
Immediately, another gimmick installed on the castle wall – a chain net flew in and tied Aipian’s wings together.
Damian fired the net launcher between the mana cannons with good timing.
It was only for a moment that the wings were tied, but the other heroes weren’t clumsy enough to leave the wings tied to the net.
The wing took a heavy hit and the flight was put to nothing.
‘It fits well and goes back!’
If Ipian tries to attack the dealer on the wall, the avant-garde interferes, and if Ipian tries to crush the avant-garde, the dealer interferes.
I block wide-area checkers, including dragon lore, with my magic wall, and my magicians counteract magic.
[This is so annoying…! I’ll wipe it out at once!]
And the breath-
“Urachacha!”
Dusk Bringer is the exclusive mark!
Bang-!
As the middle head tried to release its breath once more, Dusk Bringer rose up again and struck the man with a greatsword that was no different from a blunt weapon.
However, the middle head held out until the end and prepared to fire a breath. This time, it was towards the fort courtyard – the vanguard heroes.
Just in case, I was in a hurry to prepare a defense, but Dusk Bringer shouted loudly.
“Hey, you can use that one too-?!”
Dusk Bringer’s mouth opened slightly, and the airflow of magical power rushed in – and fired a counter breath.
Tuhak-!
Ipian’s middle head interlocked with the breath fired in the air. Blinding light and tremendous heat spread in all directions.
And that was enough time.
The rest of the heroes quickly evaded the breath’s trajectory, and Dusk Bringer, who confirmed the safety of allied heroes, wrapped himself in [Owner of the High Tower] and escaped.
Quagmire and light!
Ipian’s breath turned one side of the fort’s courtyard into ashes, but that was it.
There was no damage on this one.
“Uh-goo-goo!”
…Except for Dusk Bringer, who misses his breath and rolls over there.
As his means of attack continued to be destroyed, his breath stopped, as if it was absurd, but his head remained still with its mouth slightly open for a moment –
inside the open mouth, the mana shells shot by Damian lodged.
Pervert!
it exploded right
It was a clean effective hit. There was a thick smoke explosion, and black blood dripped from the corners of his gaping mouth.
Ipian’s three heads, which had scratches on both his body and his pride, emitted a terrifying eye light at the same time in the explosion.
[Cheeky little things…!]
[I’ll wipe them out at once, you bug-like bastards-!]
[I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you, I’ll dare to use my magic…!]
The three heads evenly divided the initiative and spewed from the evil dragon. The evil aura coming out of it became even more ferocious.
I swallowed dry saliva.
‘Phase 2…!’
From now on, the three heads will unleash an attack at the same time…!
oh oh oh-!
This time, the left head prepared a breath, the right head prepared a roar, and the middle head prepared magic.
In the second phase, in this way, each of the three heads uses the Breath Dragon Roar magic at the same time.
Since all three attacks were fired at the same time, it was common for them to be wiped out in the second phase when they did not know how to deal with them in the game.
But this time, I brought a countermeasure!
‘Even if only one of the three heads is disturbed, the other two will be stunned together!’
In other words… if you keep canceling magic, you can also cancel the other two head attacks!
“Preparing the enemy monster’s middle head 9th tier wind magic!”
“Even though it’s ninth, its output is shorter than the right head, so let’s catch up!”
Our mages again created a magic offset.
Whoa-!
The wind magic in the middle of the head and the wind magic fired by our wizards collided with each other and eventually caused an offset – the left and right heads preparing for the breath and roar also fell into the stun and staggered.
‘If I can continue to cause offsets like this, Phase 2 is actually easier than Phase 1!’
This is why he brought magic offset as a strategy.
Because it becomes possible to skip the pattern and hit with a deal!
Every time the magic was canceled, Ipian couldn’t move in place and stumbled, and the vanguard heroes and attackers on the wall were able to easily insert bursts.
A large enemy monster standing still, constantly showing gaps?
Where can you find such good food!
pop! pop! Beep…!
The mana cannons shot by Damian caused explosions in Ipian’s head, and the vanguard heroes climbed on Ipian’s body and attacked.
The scales, which were extremely hard, could not withstand the accumulated damage and began to split and fall one by one, and the scars engraved on Ipian’s body gradually increased.
Ipian, whose whole body was covered in blood and was beaten over
and
over again …
really pissed off
The scales covering Ipian’s entire body stood up as if hair stood on end – black energy poured out through the gaps in the scales, like dry ice sublimating and exhaling white steam.
Noticing the change in his condition, I shouted.
“Phase 3! Everyone on the defensive-!”
Immediately, the heroes stampeded out. I built a magic wall to block the pouring black energy.
Chii profit…!
The magic wall that came into contact with Ipian’s fraud began to emit a rustling sound.
‘It’s already to the point where we should call it miasma, not fraud!’
By the time the entire courtyard is covered with that miasmic fog…
Tuhak-!
Like a missile soaring above the dark clouds.
Ipian, with its wings spread wide, whirled and soared into the sky.
Ipian, floating in the sky, had changed slightly.
Excellent water…
All the scales on the head had fallen off, and poisonous air was gushing out in its place.
Because of the miasma, I couldn’t see her face properly, but her golden eyes gleamed ferociously like headlights even through the dark aura.
[I tried to take it to my father while preserving your life intact… but I won’t.]
Then, a violent wind of magical energy rushed into his three heads at the same time.
[I’ll tear it to pieces and turn it into ashes! I will report to my father that I killed you because you were so young and weak-!]
The
atmosphere in the whole area fluctuated and the next moment.
Quaaaaaaaa!
Ipian’s three heads let out breaths at the same time.
The three-pronged breath only aimed at the outer wall, not the inside of the fortress.
The ancient castle wall, which was swept away by the thrusting breath, endured for a while as if it were the Royal Guard of the Lake Kingdom, but soon it could not stand it and began to melt.
Kwagwagwagwang!
It spun around and emitted breath from its three heads.
The intense black flames fired burned all the outer walls of the fortress, and the walls collapsed into ashes all at once.
“…”
Even though the distance between the center of the fortress and the walls where I am standing is quite far, a burning sensation stings my cheek.
Kung Koo Goo Palace…
Let’s look up while listening to the sound of the walls collapsing.
Floating above the flaring black flames, above the clouds of black smoke exhaled from his body… I
saw Ipian, who had changed into the form of a berserk dragon.
His evil gaze flashed in the dark aura that covered my face.
‘Looking at his appearance, he seems to be a candidate for the final boss…’
I raised my trembling lips.
Phases 1 and 2 are, to the extreme, just a taster.
Ipian in this state right now deserves to be called the real monster among the real ones befitting the eldest son of the Night Bringer.
“Okay, if they were defeated easily… it would be a waste of the name Black Dragon Corps…!”
At that time, our mages and ranged dealers returned from the side of the castle wall.
“I thought you were going to die…!”
“I was preparing, but it’s really scary…”
The soot-covered wizards trembled and flew through the sky and landed behind me.
At the beginning of Phase 3, Ipian always started by destroying the fortress wall with his breath. had been prepared in advance.
From the moment the guy spewed out his morale, the people on the wall took refuge with Diarmudin’s flying magic.
Thanks to that, everyone was safe… but it didn’t seem like they weren’t shocked. Everyone shuddered.
“Are you okay, Damian?”
“sure. Prince.”
Among them, I asked Damian, who had a calm complexion, and Damian smiled and installed his new equipment – a huge slingshot on the floor.
“It was only about warming up.”
I smiled and looked around again.
A huge black flame was burning in the place where the castle wall had now completely collapsed. High like a new castle wall.
[You’d better not think about running away, the guardian of public interest…]
Ipian’s three heads let out a low sneer at the same time.
[Because it would be impossible in the first place.]
The reason Ipian blew up the wall of my rare was probably to keep the dealers on our side from attacking him from above in check.
It was also a ritual to mark one’s hunting area.
This wall of black flame goes out only when one of us dies. It can be described as ‘a room where you can’t get out if you don’t hunt’.
“He is in a state of berserk, and even has a tendency to become more aggressive in my hunting area… It’s different from before. Think that if you brush, you will die, and move safely.”
When I delivered it to the heroes, everyone swallowed dry saliva.
In the meantime, I mobilized various gimmicks to steadily feed the stun rigidity to weaken his attacks, so I was able to easily evade or defend.
In phase 3, the castle wall disappeared and all the gimmicks were blown away, and Ipian itself raised its attack power by itself. It’s not empty words, but from now on, even if you pass by, you will die.
“That’s why we continue to fight fast!”
I pointed at Ipian and shouted.
“Disband Junior Element!”
“yep-!”
Junior cast the prepared [Dismantle Element] on Ipian.
Zeng-!
A white halo floated in the sky, creating a distortion that seemed to shatter space.
Undoubtedly, the magic hit. However, Junior’s expression was not bright.
“As expected, [Element Dismantlement] is not even a single shot…!”
It was the same as in the case of Parekian.
Ipian was also resisting [Dissolving Elements] by increasing magic output in real time. Moreover, the amount of mana possessed was overwhelmingly higher than that of Parekian.
‘Among the Black Dragon Corps, it is an extreme non-fighting individual, so even Parekian, who has the lowest magic power, could barely get rid of it by stacking [Dissolve Elements] several times.’
This ancient dragon has been playing with magic elements since time immemorial.
It would be unreasonable to expect the full effect of [Dissolution of Elements] from Ipian. In reality, Ipian was snoring while responding without difficulty.
[Is that all you prepared? Then I’ll put an end to it…!]
Tuhak-!
Spinning around in the air, the next moment Ipian shot toward us like a jet. At the same time, a strong wind rushed into his three gaping mouths.
Since the breath pattern was just used, it seems that the three heads are planning to release the dragon roar at the same time.
If the three heads with enhanced attack power let out a roar at the same time, my magic wall can no longer block it.
‘Then stop using it before then!’
I grinned.
[Dissolving elements] obviously didn’t work properly. Even though it is the strongest mana burn skill, Ipian’s magical power is intact.
But it was undoubtedly cut a little.
What I was after was this.
“Start the prepared operation!”
I looked back at the heroes and laughed.
It’s an imminent situation, but let’s think about bringing out a new trick I’ve been working hard on…
“It’s called Operation…’Hairstyle Change’!”
“….”
Hecate, who was guarding me closely behind me, made a somewhat puzzled expression, and
right behind me, Damian whimpered and loaded a ‘bullet’ into the giant slingshot.
The ‘bullet’ let out a bewildered voice.
[…No, are you really doing this?]
The bullet was none other than the head of the corps commander, Dyurahan.
