661. [Side Story] Operation Firefly
When the heroes took a break from each other and Dusk Bringer regained consciousness and became stable.
5 days before the start of the stage. I’ve summoned all my heroes.
“The decisive battle is right around the corner.”
I looked around at the heroes huddled in the drawing room of the manor house.
Among them, after checking Dusk Bringer surrounded by dragon knights, I grinned.
“You may have scabs on your ears, but I would like to explain the strategy of this subjugation once more.”
Because the more you know for sure, the better.
I am a black dragon drawn on the blackboard, and I put my cane on the picture of the wriggling earthworm I drew.
It’s a little big for an earthworm, but it has a few wings and a tail attached to it, and it has seven heads.
“First of all, the premise.”
He inhaled and exhaled as if to confirm.
“The black dragon is an existence that cannot be defeated by standard means.”
No matter how many times they heard it, the heroes trembled their shoulders again.
“He’s a more out-of-the-ordinary monster than that Lord of the Flies. In the meantime, it should be considered that it is virtually impossible to defeat them with normal raid methods like the evil dragons belonging to the Black Dragon Corps.”
It cannot be defeated with standard methods – that is, normal boss monster raids.
‘That doesn’t mean that the strategy in the game will disappear, though.’
Strategy in the game – In short, Gimmick.
This is all. Because there is only one road, it is rather narrow, but clearer.
“First, I’ll explain him again.”
I tapped the board lightly with my stick.
“Jin Black Dragon, Night Bringer. As the main body of the Black Dragon Corps, it possesses all the characteristics of all the monsters of the Black Dragon Corps that have been dealt with previously.”
In other words.
‘Claw’ Parekian’s solid physical mobility.
‘Molar’ Tustibean’s gigantic breath.
‘Wings’ Winged Huan’s flying feather bombardment mind control.
‘Eye’ Aipian’s dark demonic eye. And even the multiple heads –
it can be said to be the sum total of the patterns of the evil dragons we have dealt with. Actually, it’s more than that.
‘The other two. The characteristics of Blooddrops and Purelyn themselves are on the weak side…’
‘Blooddrops’ Kilithian’s vitality.
‘Pure Rin’ Skairian… insidious? What the hell is this bastard…?
Anyway, I can say that I have it all.
“Aside from the rest being intuitive abilities, the most problematic is the Dark Magic Eye. And all of them.”
I roughly poked the seven heads drawn on the blackboard with the tip of my cane.
“Everyone knows that he is the Seven Headed Dragon, right? The middle one is the Night Bringer, and the other six heads are…”
I traced the top of my neck with one hand.
“The Nightbringer was beheaded with my own hand.”
“Ugh…”
Evangeline, a reaction gourmet, stuck out her tongue and hated it. That’s a good response. I nodded and continued the explanation.
“The neck was destroyed, and only six heads were left… It is usually attached around the middle neck, and only ‘wakes up’ to assist itself in battle.”
“I really don’t like the use of it…”
As Evangeline said, I wonder what kind of grotesque sense it is.
The black dragon, Night Bringer, is such a dragon.
Although it is a seven-headed dragon, the middle head has complete control, and the remaining six heads float around the main body like drones to assist in battle.
Since these six heads are already dead, they do not have any free will. It’s just a kind of artifact that emits breath and uses magic as the leader commands.
At my explanation, Evangeline tilted her head.
“By the way. How do you shoot a breath when only your head is floating?”
“Nandl no. There’s no corner that makes sense when you think about it that way, you bastard.”
The floating heads were connected to the main body through darkness, and it must have been supplying something through the passage of darkness.
widely!
I sorted it out after flicking my cane in my palm.
“Anyway, to put it all together… It’s an incredibly hard guy with tremendous vitality, it’s incredibly huge, and it moves and flies incredibly fast. ”
A sigh erupted from the left. I feel like I want to do that too.
At this point, I don’t know how the hell they made it to catch it. No, I think it was made to not be caught in the first place.
“Furthermore, it doesn’t even have the weakness of normal dragons, ‘Yeokjin’. To be precise, the whole body is made up of yeokrin, but there is no part that becomes a weakness.”
It is said that all the scales that make up the body of the True Black Dragon, Night Bringer, are yeokrin.
As a dragon of reverse heaven, the direction of the scales is completely opposite to that of general dragons.
And just like a common dragon has only one evil in its body. The Night Bringer had only one positive scale on its body.
“This only positive scale is ‘Sunrin’… I guess this is its only weakness, but I ripped it off with my own hands and threw it away.”
And Skerian was born…
Well, I wonder how I can’t use it, but I still don’t know what’s inside. It seems that it could act as a variable in favor of the enemy, so I decided to leave this child out of the discussion.
You should try to use the strategy you used in the game.
“If you listen this far, there is no answer.”
I smiled and looked around at the heroes.
“But really, I wouldn’t have been this relaxed if I didn’t have an answer, right?”
Everyone was nervous, but they smiled at my face. I nodded heavily.
“What I’m trying to dig into is the only conflict between darkness… yes. It is ‘light’.”
Just like the strategy in the game.
Dark’s only weakness. It means to actively use the gimmick of ‘light’.
In the game, when the battle with the Night Bringer is near, new research can be started in the production workshop.
It is a study that deals with ‘light’, which can be said to be the natural enemy of darkness.
I knew of the existence of this study in advance, so I ordered it long ago. And the results have already come out.
“This is the result of our production union and many mages researching in their spare time over the past two months.”
I took out the special equipment I brought with me and placed it on the table in front of me.
“It’s a magic concentrator.”
“…!”
“Oh oh…!”
In real life, the heroes who had never seen them spat out exclamations one after another.
It is a pure white artifact in the form of an elongated hexahedron worn on the arm.
“The effect is simple. Converts the wearer’s mana into light. Let me show you an example. Watch your eyes.”
As soon as I applied my magic power, wearing it as a demonstration, a gray light that contained the color of my magic power flashed forward from the tip of the concentrator.
“Quaaaaagh!”
“It’s dazzling!”
“My lord! You should have told me the Lord of Eyes!”
“No, I told you, you bastards…”
Everyone screamed and collapsed except for the blind Nobody and Damian, who had already covered his eyes.
No, I told you to be careful. I… I adjusted the output and sprayed it gently. It’s dark around, so come here more.
“The Magic Concentrator will pay everyone. You’ll know when you use it, but the magic fuel efficiency isn’t that great, so use it only when you need it.”
Turning off the lights, I glanced at the priests.
“A normal magical power can emit enough light, but the divine power series is particularly effective. In other words, the priests will have to work hard.”
And the fact that the efficiency of divine power is good…
“Because those who use the power of God are also particularly efficient. Please do your best.”
It means that the power of other gods also produces similar power.
The four representatives of the different races nodded. I gestured aside.
“Like this, ‘light’ is the first means to fight against him. The second is this.”
Lily and the alchemists who had been waiting brought in the three artifacts on the cart.
“We also write ‘dark’.”
“…!”
The heroes swallowed dry saliva.
All three artifacts were in the form of black glass spheres.
“This is a dragon slayer and a nightmare slayer made with Ipian’s magic core. Artifact [Shining Dark]. The ability creates ‘darkness’.”
Aipian resembled his father, possessed the Dark Eyes and had the ability to radiate darkness.
This artifact can reproduce that ability.
“There is substance in the darkness of the Black Dragon Corps.”
Normally, darkness is the absence of light. The darkness that these evil dragons emit… and the darkness under that lake is different.
To be honest, I don’t even know if I can call it darkness.
There is substance in this young darkness of evil.
“And being tangible also means deterrence is possible.”
“…!”
“It would be a way to deal with our light, but there is no need to do that. I have the eyes and heart of an enemy I painstakingly plucked out.”
I pounded the artifact with my hand.
“Come on, the premise was long! I will now explain the operation. Simple. When the Night Bringer exudes darkness, we activate this artifact to sprinkle darkness.”
While blocking the darkness with darkness,
“In the meantime, light is emitted through the concentrators provided to each of them to disconnect the body from the other six heads.”
It cuts off the darkness between the drone head and the main body and shoots it
down. “Every time the other head is disconnected, the Night Bringer body is also temporarily stunned. After disconnecting all heads using this, I shoot the light of power at the middle of the head… at the same time.”
The beings of the Age of Mythology can be said to be the providence of nature itself that living beings fear.
Among them, the providence of nature symbolized by the Night Bringer is ‘night’.
In other words, since the essence of existence is infinitely close to darkness, on the contrary, it
must- be damaged by light.
‘It was like that in the game.’
If you focus the light emitted by the heroes and shoot it at it, the Night Bringer will survive at first.
However, when the darkness gauge was cut beyond a certain amount, he suffered and exposed gaps.
The scales of the area where the light gathered came off, and it was possible to forcibly create a weakness that did not exist.
“In this moment, we put in the maximum amount of offensive means we have.”
The slash of the unknown light, Dusk Bringer’s maximum output breath, Damian’s sniper’s joint magic, etc….
Hit all the firepower you have in this instant.
Evangeline, who had been struck by my flash earlier, kept rubbing her eyes before asking cautiously.
“What if it doesn’t knock you down?”
“Repeat.”
I said boldly.
“I repeat this whole process. Until he dies.”
“…”
I didn’t bother to say it, but everyone noticed.
The fact that ‘this whole process’ includes enduring the creature’s breath, magic feather bombardment, mind control hand-to-hand combat, and aerial combat.
The fact that we will also suffer tremendous damage during the process.
Kill before we are annihilated – this battle is such a Chicken Game.
“This is the basic framework of the black dragon subjugation.”
It was also the only tactic I established in the game.
Of course it won’t be easy.
But even if a camel goes through the eye of a needle, if there is only one way, you have no choice but to run.
“So the name of this operation is… Because we all have to work hard to emit light…”
I scrawled on the blackboard with chalk and shouted vigorously.
“Operation Firefly! In other words, Operation Firefly!”
If I were to call it earth-Korean, it would be ‘Operation Fireflies’.
“Don’t go, don’t go, don’t go~ Sing for me just this once~”
When I sang a song, everyone’s expressions turned sour.
Evangeline muttered softly with a pitiful face.
“Senior, the taste has gone again…”
No, this is a masterpiece… You guys don’t know…
“I believe that if we use all the battle experiences we’ve had so far, we’ll be able to do it well enough.”
After returning with a serious face, he said with strength.
Just as we overcame Parekian, Tustibean, Wingedhuan, and Ipian. Like destroying their patterns and attack methods.
…and that’s not all.
Thirty-five defensive battles over the years. Including the tutorial, if it is the experience and will of all of us who have won 36 defense battles.
I believe you can overcome it. sincerely.
“The magic concentrators will be completed and distributed tomorrow, and we will proceed with training to emit light immediately.”
I looked around at the heroes and smiled.
“Please wait patiently.”
Then there was applause.
“Okay then, today’s strategy meeting ends here! Everyone, get some rest and go eat!”
The heroes who answered yes all at once gathered in twos and threes and began to talk among themselves.
About the Black Dragon Corps I’ve
dealt with so far, and about the Night Bringer
, which is stronger than the sum of all of them. player.”
A voice came from the side.
“But… are you really going to be okay?”
Let’s look back. A nerdy, sluggish capture monster. The Black Dragon Army voluntarily captured by me…
The Skairian was smiling meaningfully.
“What will you do if your father doesn’t fall through this operation?”
