Chapter 220. Hit the head and jump out (2)
Tukeng!
Getting hit on the head feels bad.
The feeling of something hitting your head is unpleasant.
Especially if you taste the sensation and recall the memory of the moment you died.
– …!
A triple blast that came out of nowhere.
In the skull reeling from the shock.
Warlock Targa gnashed her teeth.
I was intoxicated with the power I gained after becoming a bone dragon for a while.
I was enjoying the feeling of being a god.
I felt bad out of nowhere.
It reminded me of the moment when I was about to die.
‘…It was like this even then.’
throat cut
His head fell to the floor and the back of his head thumped.
I felt the shock.
And Degur.
How bizarre and creepy it felt to have my head rolling on the floor.
Now that I have a new body, I want to forget about it.
But it came to mind again.
Because of that guy who just landed a stinging blow on himself.
– ….
Bone Dragon raised his head.
Lloyd, who had just hit himself with a triple blast, came into sight.
It looks like flying on a crow.
When I saw that, I thought of it again.
– Namaran.
He remembered the messed up plan in the trading city of Namaran.
I tried to summon the Hell Knight by sacrificing the citizens.
If Hell Knight goes on rampage like that for a month.
I thought it would destroy the main city and main power of this kingdom.
Failed.
because of whom?
– That guy.
Was it after the failure of the plot in Namaran?
It reminded me of the after-action report I received from the contact I had planted there.
Noctanium, a black jewel that they refined with the magic they extracted from the bones of the Bone Dragon.
It was said that someone had robbed all of the Noctanium.
In addition, on the day of the giant, it was said that a person riding a crow slaughtered all the black magicians on this side.
Even after the hell knight wakes up?
Did you say that he fought alongside the silver-haired knight and eliminated the Hell Knight?
– Lloyd Frontera.
The name of the culprit came to mind.
It wasn’t only in Namaran that he disturbed him.
– They also prevented the assassination of the king.
It was a really hard-to-find poison.
It was the sword master Sir Czerny, who was more difficult to capture than that.
That would be the perfect plan.
It could throw the Magentano royal family into chaos.
I went ahead with the work with absolute confidence.
But it failed.
As expected, it was because of that bastard Lloyd Frontera.
– If it wasn’t for you….
All plans would have worked.
At least it wouldn’t have collapsed as a complete failure like it is now.
King Alicia must have died or become a disabled person.
The royal family’s discipline was shaken and control over the provinces must have weakened.
In such a political situation, the Hell Knight must have awakened in Namaran.
Around 500 undead mastodons would have awakened and responded in the vicinity of the Frontera territory.
Hell Knights and 500 Undead Mastodons.
It would not have been inferior to wiping out at least one kingdom.
In addition, he had prepared one more trick that would be the decisive blow.
It was the plague and exclusive treatment that turned humans into zombies.
– If only that succeeded….
A huge number of civilians would have turned into zombies.
The curse would have spread like a plague.
Since it was a curse made through a special process, it would not have been possible to cure it even with the blessings of higher priests. The only cure was the magic medicine he extracted from the bones of the bone dragon.
In other words, he made a plan so that only he could save the patients who became zombies.
The leadership of the royal family collapsed.
The fat is engulfed in flames.
When the whole country falls into the detonation of zombification.
It was such a plan that he could set the stage for himself to step out like a messiah.
– If only that had happened….
could be king
Furthermore, the emperor would have been able to do it.
But now it’s impossible.
he died
Even though I’m running wild like this.
Because I am no longer human.
Because there is no way to go back to being human.
therefore.
– Now I’m just a monster.
I wanted to rise to a high position and command the world.
I wanted to be feared, respected, and looked up to by everyone.
After taking off the discriminatory label of being a black magician.
I wanted to become a ruler who would go down in history.
– I can’t anymore.
No matter how much power you become like a god.
That wish has now become unfulfillable.
All plans failed.
he is just a monster
– Because of you.
Bone Dragon’s gaze towards Lloyd sparked blue flames.
Dark murderous intentions rose from stem to stem.
That emotion brought about a change in Bone Dragon.
No, it gave a big change to Targa, the black magician who dwells in the body of Bone Dragon.
– kill. Only you will kill unconditionally.
right!
The bone dragon spread its wings.
Even the same steps as before.
There were no clumsy movements to practice wing flapping.
Bone Dragon’s strange body?
A step-by-step and careful adaptation, typical of wizards?
It didn’t even come into my mind anymore.
It will just fly up, tear, crush, and chew.
I will burn and trample it to ashes until the castle is freed.
Kuk-Kuk Hwa-Ah-!
Bone Dragon kicked the ground.
just one leap.
With that alone, it soared to 800 meters in an instant.
And spread his bone wings.
Blue flames formed between the empty wing skeletons.
Like the feathers of resentment, explosive power was blown into the wings.
Kwa ha ha ha!
Just once.
flapped its wings
pushed the air out
With just one flap of its wings, the space was shattered.
The air was pushed and compressed explosively, creating a shock wave.
And the body of the 200-meter-long Bone Dragon moved hundreds of meters forward at once. no rushed
Wedge liquid!
The bone dragon momentarily broke through the speed of sound.
Waves of air superimposed with the front of the huge skull as its apex.
It overlapped and amplified, and finally exploded as if diverging.
Quaang-!
A powerful sonic boom was created with the condensation of water vapor.
The windows of the nearby royal palace and all buildings were broken.
Everyone in the lower garden collapsed, covering their ears.
“what…crazy!”
Lloyd wanted to fall as well.
He looked back with his eyes wide open.
The bone dragon was getting closer.
No, it was rushing at all.
It was just being shot like it was going to hit it!
‘What’s so fast!’
Lloyd was shocked.
I was just trying to run away like this.
Keep following me while we run away.
Get some heat for that.
I only got hit in the back of the head with a triple blast.
I didn’t know that it would fly at such an unimaginable speed.
I really didn’t know that I would run terrifyingly without thinking back and forth.
‘Am I the type who hates getting hit in the back of the head?’
Anyway, that didn’t matter now.
Even while thinking for a moment, the bone dragon flaps its wings again.
The air is pushed out, the water vapor condenses, and a sonic boom.
Quaang-!
The distance between him and him was dizzyingly narrowed.
‘Caught.’
5 seconds like this?
no 4 seconds?
It seemed to be caught in it.
What will happen then?
‘How is it! It would be like Matiz being hit from behind by a tank that ran at full speed without using a brake.’
I’m just going to be very boneless.
Realizing that, Lloyd’s eyes twitched.
The response was immediate.
“Kkoming! Under!”
“Kkoming-!”
Coincidentally, Kkomingi was also feeling the dangerous rush from the rear.
As soon as Lloyd’s cry fell, he immediately folded his wings.
Kkomingi’s main specialty and the most confident flight.
plunged.
“Komiming!”
It lowered its head and shot down like a swallow full of water.
It descended vertically as if shot.
‘Sure!’
A stormy headwind.
In the midst of it, Lloyd held on to the saddle and endured.
I thought maybe.
‘Will this follow?’
I glanced behind me.
‘…I’m following you!’
I feel the blood draining from my face.
So there was a bone dragon right behind.
Just like this side, with the head lowered.
I boldly folded my wings and attached them to my body.
It was pursuing us, descending vertically like a swallow filled with water!
“What the hell…Kkoming! left!”
“Kkoming!”
Lloyd, sensing a crisis, shouted.
Kkoming immediately turned his head to the left.
It rotated 720 degrees counterclockwise like a screw.
With the momentum of that rotation, the dive path was bent 90 degrees to the left.
In an instant, it switched to level flight.
right after that.
The bone dragon also followed this side’s flight in the same way.
With its gigantic body, it performed ridiculous maneuvers like a swallow.
It even stretched out its long neck!
Quaker Duck-!
The bone dragon chewed up the space where Kkomingyi had been.
His huge teeth almost touched Kkoming’s tail feathers.
“Kkoming! Kkomiming-!”
The desperate Kkomingyi shouted.
It’s impossible now.
I think I will catch up with this theory.
It urged me to do something about it.
“know! I know!”
Cold sweat broke out on Lloyd’s forehead.
He had to admit the complacency of his plan.
‘This is a mistake. I just had to run away no matter what happened to other people.’
You can be criticized for being a coward.
It doesn’t matter if you get criticized for being trash.
Isn’t it important to survive first?
‘But oh! Why did I go out of my way to save Xaviel and the king!’
He regretted his decision ten minutes ago.
‘Is it really over here?’
It was stifling.
It got dark.
Now Kkomingyi is doing his best to fly.
This is the greatest motivation this side has.
But what about that Bone Dragon?
The same appearance as before, which was a little clumsy, is no longer to be found.
Just a very supersonic jet.
Or openly like a rocket.
It was flying at breakneck speed, ripping through the air.
In addition, it is showing off an insane level of mobility that does not suit its large size.
Would it make sense to say that it is a whale with the same mobility as a swallow?
No, the 63 Building flying around like a dragonfly would be more appropriate.
‘I can’t run away.’
I couldn’t think of a way to escape from that crazy level of flying ability.
I didn’t even think about getting rid of it.
But Lloyd did not give up.
‘no. If you give up, you die. So think Go to work, head!’
Leading a risky aerobatic flight.
Every moment, every second, at the level of death, barely avoiding the bone dragon’s attack.
Lloyd shook his head desperately.
I didn’t want to die.
I had to live here anyway.
It was even more so when I remembered the honey jars of the Prontera Territory that had been piled up step by step until now.
So it was.
I risked my life and rolled my head.
I went through all the information in my head.
setting of this novel.
history that has changed.
Everything from today to the trifles of a few months ago.
Then finally.
‘Wait a minute.’
It came to mind.
Lloyd shook his head.
I quickly looked back.
‘Confirmation first!’
There is no time to procrastinate.
The Bone Dragon rushing in from behind with an enormous size.
I shouted inwardly as I looked straight at the gigantic monster.
‘survey!’
strained the eyes.
I activated my surveying skill and glared at the bone dragon.
Tsutsutsutsutsu!
[Scanning begins.]
Along with a familiar message, the bone dragon’s body began to be seen in detail.
However, Lloyd did not examine the whole body of the bone dragon.
‘I don’t have time for that now!’
His gaze went straight down the bone dragon’s body.
A maneuver chase with a crazy tempo.
In the meantime, at first glance.
A tail was visible behind the creature’s body.
The huge tail was constantly moving up and down and left and right to balance the flight.
‘therefore…show me please a little!’
Lloyd’s anxious gaze scanned the bone dragon’s tail from the tip.
From the thinnest end to the thickest middle ice.
And finally, in the first third of the way, hidden by the body….
‘found!’
A strange color appeared in Lloyd’s eyes.
found.
seemed
A lump of tailbone that I was looking for.
No, to be precise….
‘Fake tailbone!’
Where Lloyd pays attention.
One tailbone there was different from the rest.
To be precise, it was originally made of granite, not dragon bones.
The reason was simple.
‘Over there, that compartment is where I took out my real bones to receive from the king’s sister as payment for the construction!’
a few months ago.
It was around the time when the construction of the Terrmina Grand Garden had begun.
At that time, I had already tipped off the installer in charge of installing the dragon skeleton.
That piece of tailbone is yours.
So, don’t forget to leave one piece out.
‘After that, I forgot about it for a while, thinking about whether I should pay attention to the garden construction or deal with what’s going to happen today.’
Do you remember and check it now?
Again, one tailbone was missing.
The place was filled with fakes hewn out of stone.
‘Besides, that stone was made by roughly cutting granite to save on material costs!’
It reminded me that the royal family originally intended to use the backbone of an expensive emperor whale in that place.
Even if not as much as dragon bones.
It was a high-quality material that boasted phenomenal strength and relatively light weight.
But there was one problem.
‘It was too expensive.’
It wasn’t just expensive, it was unnecessarily expensive.
It was an ultra-luxurious material that only made material costs skyrocket for nothing.
So he said he dried it.
No one would look at the installed dragon skeleton with a magnifying glass up close anyway. Everyone would just take a cruise ship and look at it from a distance and say wow.
So, just match the color and texture of the rock to be similar to the dragon bone and carve it.
In addition, it is only necessary to have the strength that the skeleton will not collapse.
So, if it’s granite, it’s full and overflowing.
claimed so.
insisted on.
‘That’s material cost savings!’
Even though it’s using the royal treasury.
Even so, I didn’t want to waste useless material money.
So at that time, I was stubborn to stop wasting material costs.
I didn’t know that stubbornness would be so helpful.
No, I really didn’t know that it would be the only weakness and hope to stare at.
An evil smile formed on Lloyd’s lips.
“excuse me! I have an idea for you!”
shouted backwards.
“But if we fail, we will all die together here in 50 minutes! Do you have any last words you want to leave!”
“….”
For some reason, there was no reply or response.
I looked back just in case.
‘omg. Both of them look like that.’
king too.
Haviel too.
He had an overly grumpy face.
They looked like people who were ready to die bravely in front of a magnificent but unbearable battle here.
When I saw it, I burst out laughing.
Both look overly tense.
It seems that no matter what I say, it will not go into my ears.
So, I need to clear my mind first.
Only then will the operation plan be properly listened to.
with a bad heart
With the determination of the heart.
A pile of bomb remarks were loaded onto his tongue.
“If you have nothing to say, start here! Xaviel! It was fun to be together, but you were a bit unlucky! Even though you always boasted that you received a lot of confession letters, the truth is that you’re single just like me! And the king, no sister!”
“…what? me?”
“Yes, King Sister! My sister was like that too! Eat only to pamper yourself every day!”
“Did you dare to call Jim sister?”
“I’m really going to die soon, so what does that matter!”
“You….”
“Anyway! Thanks to me, you seem to have relaxed a bit!”
Lloyd cut off the king’s rebuttal and shouted.
“From now on, please listen carefully to what I am saying and follow it! this! Because as long as we succeed, we can all live! Please be kind to the fact that I just called you sister! Really give me a 10-year labor exemption! Really if! Catch that Bone Dragon! Give me all of his bones! Do you agree!”
