Episode 544. Ancient dragon’s rare (1)
“Let’s go. It’s the first time Jim is in the upper class like this.”
Alice urged Jinhyeok with an excited expression.
It was clear from his tone that he wanted to see all the precious treasures piled up inside as soon as possible, even for a second.
Well, I understand how you feel.
If the ancient dragon hadn’t sent an invitation directly, the way to get to the 46th floor would have been extremely limited at this point.
Jinhyeok also enjoyed this process as if on a picnic.
But just then
Cuckoo coo!
Suddenly, the ashes piled up on both sides began to fall.
“…This?”
“contractor?”
What appeared were bizarre monsters made of obsidian.
The monsters with four arms and legs, each holding a different weapon, flashed red eyes.
“Cheating Geek!”
“Queee!”
The screams of stone and iron clashing were hoarse in my ears.
“Guardian….”
This fucking lizard must have been messing around until the very end.
In the long parchment, it seems that the right to subordinate to the guardian was left out. Or, you have to satisfy something else so that you can exercise your dominance.
Either way, the picnic, which was enjoyable, turned into quite a spectacle.
Quaang!
bang!
Six Guardians flew at the same time.
It is their instinct to deal with intruders once they have been discovered.
The magical energy imbued with the energy of fire headed for Jinhyeok and Elise at once.
of course.
“It hurts.”
“You lowly insignificant creatures can’t grasp the subject.”
From Jinhyeok and Alice’s point of view, it was just astonishing that a guardian like this would attack them.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
The rising pillar of ice completely froze the Guardians who were attacking from the front.
Those who were aiming for the side were mercilessly pierced by Elise’s skewer.
“Kek!”
“Kee…”
An overwhelming gap.
In the blink of an eye, the ancient dragon’s guardians were annihilated.
⁕⁕⁕
It has been well over 10,000 years since Pendragon settled down in the volcanic area on the 46th floor.
It is said that countless guardians and administrators have spent their lives here.
and present.
“What is that guy?”
‘Helberg’, the head of the Guardian who oversees Pendragon’s lair, fell into a panic in an unexpected situation.
The guardian’s mission that has been passed on for 7 generations beyond the predecessors.
During that long and long time, I had the experience of dealing with intruders quite a number of times.
Useless enthusiasm or inability to grasp the subject.
Most of them were people who really wanted to die.
But not this time.
“Guardians are annihilated in one blow…”
The ones placed at the entrance were gatekeepers made up of higher ranks among all the guardians.
It was not unusual for him to subdue such people so lightly.
Helberg gnawed his nails with his teeth.
‘Damn it…’
I never thought that such a large-scale incident would happen in this gap when Pendragon was away.
Right then.
“Hmm. Something must have happened.”
The person sitting next to him opened his mouth.
A middle-aged man in a stylish fedora and white suit.
It was ‘Rick Hennessy’, the senior manager.
“…yes. It looks like a rather annoying intruder has entered.”
“haha. An intruder… Who the hell dares to set foot in a place ruled by the Black Flame Dragon?”
Rick stroked his beard and reached for the coffee cup on the table.
“It’s not something a senior manager cares about. I can handle it somehow on my own… Huh?”
Helberg’s eyes widened as he spoke.
Hundreds of Magma Lizards must be waiting behind the Guardian.
however.
Kwak Kwah Kwah Kwah!
“Keeeeeee!”
“Keeeh!”
The scene seen on the screen was incomparable to the first one.
The army under the direct control of the ancient dragon, which boasts the strongest, is being torn apart.
Troops that are shattered foot to foot.
It’s like watching a huge storm roll in.
“Hmm. That’s how it happened too. That’s why I can’t be your opponent.”
“Rick. That’s how it happens. What do you mean?”
“Are you completely unaware of the news outside of this rare?”
“Hey… my only purpose is to protect this place. But who the hell is the author, so does Rick know?”
Helberg also knew quite a bit about the gods and giant forces from the 30th to the 40th floor.
It was because he could encounter them as a threat or as a guest.
But by no means.
None of them were human.
In the first place, it didn’t make sense for humans to have this much power.
“Of course I know.”
A soft smile formed on Rick’s lips.
there’s no way you wouldn’t know
How could I not know?
“My heartfelt advice is to defeat all the Guardians and be as polite as possible. If you want to live.”
“What do you mean by that… is that person really a person with enough influence that even Rick-sama would feel burdened?”
“Before answering that… why is the owner of this rare not responding when his bedroom is turning into a mess? You might as well think about the reason.”
“That’s right, of course you’re busy…”
Helberg, who was talking, quickly lost his words.
It’s because I realized that something wasn’t right.
No matter how urgent something is.
The question is, is there anything more urgent than the collapse of the stronghold, a symbol of pride?
***
Jinhyeok grabbed the senior rich’s neck.
“Such… nonsense… magic…”
the lich stammered.
The fact that all magic doesn’t work, even at this moment, I couldn’t believe it.
Crunchy!
His neck snapped with a light gesture.
Since the Life Force Vessel wasn’t destroyed,
it won’t be extinguished.
“contractor. Didn’t I say that this rare was yours?”
“It did.”
“But why are there so many saboteurs? Everyone would attack me just by making eye contact, and the clothes I was wearing would be a mess.”
Alice poured out words full of annoyance.
A frayed and dusty dress can no longer be called a dress.
I tried to have a lot of fun by seeing rare treasures and eating delicious things.
The reality was fierce.
Jinhyeok also bit his molars.
How dare you not know the new master and make him suffer like this.
Later, after collecting them in a single file, they planned to torture them as much as possible.
that buck
cooong! thud!
New riches and large monsters appeared in abundance again.
No matter what happened to them, they wouldn’t be scared even if they were pressed so hard.
This is the moment that proves how harshly Pendragon has treated them.
“Huh-huh… Yes. Whatever it is, it’s a treasure, and I’ll wipe it all away. I will wipe rare itself off the map.”
“Ellis? Calm down…”
“Get out of the way! Jim is in 100% mode right now!”
[Ellis activates her unique ability ‘Blood Road’!]
Blood drops began to rotate at high speed.
It’s because of the idea of pouring all my magic power into it.
That’s when the battle was about to start again.
Whoops!
A gate appeared in front of everyone.
The one who jumped out in a hurry was ‘Helberg’, the general commander of the Guardians.
“Sorry. Everyone stop attacking! I mean stop right now!”
Helberg hurriedly stopped the Guardians.
At the same time, he ran to where Jinhyeok was and bowed his head.
“I have committed a mortal sin. You are the new master.”
Quaang!
Drops of blood flowed from his head, which hit the ground.
His forehead was torn, but he felt no pain.
Pendragon, who kept losing contact. The reason is that he was killed by that human.
After learning the truth through Rick, I couldn’t stay sane because my whole body was shaking.
“Are you in charge here?”
“Yes… Yes! It’s called the Helbug of the lava race! Until now, Mr. Pendragon… no, I was in charge of assisting Pendragon.”
“Helberg… The lava race is famous for being highly intelligent and good at handling things, right? Red dragons and black dragons often appoint them as guardians.”
“you’re right!”
“You have learned a lot and you must know a lot.”
“of course!”
“however.”
Jinhyuk scratched his head.
“Where did you learn that the head of the guardian attacks the owner?”
“yes?”
creepy
The atmosphere changed rapidly.
A cold life oppresses the entire rare.
“It’s complicated and annoying to select new guardians and manage rares, so I’m just trying to maintain this system… If the guys under me are rebellious, I think I should reconsider that.”
– If you resist, I will kill you.
– Even if you don’t resist, I’ll kill you.
The murderous spirit emanating from Jinhyeok and Alice was far more heinous than Pendragon.
“If you give me one more chance, I will never make this mistake again. I will become a faithful subordinate and satisfy my master and hostess.”
“No matter what you say, I will kill all of you… Huh? Hostess? Are you calling me the hostess?”
“yes. That’s right. Noble and beautiful noble of the night.”
“Hmm. greatness! stop contracting This guy seems to be reflecting a lot…”
Elise pulled Jinhyeok’s sleeve.
“Whoa. All right. First of all, treat the injured guardians and proceed with rare recovery. From now on, we will make this place our new base.”
An advantage that cannot be compared with existing bases.
Even yet, the giant powers in the upper layers do not know that this side ate Pendragon’s rare.
‘Uriel, Olympus, and Cheonsei will also aim for the existing ones if they want to attack the base.’
Since I earned my time as a bonus, it means that I have all the best conditions.
good.
Now that you’ve roughly finished organizing the house, it’s time to see how splendid the ancient dragon’s treasure house is.
Following Helberg’s guidance, Jinhyuk headed to the deepest part of Rare.
Various liches, golems, and large monsters lined up left and right to keep their place.
The place they arrived at was a heavy door.
The black door engraved with two dragons was protected by dozens of magics.
“Since you already have full control of this place, it will open by itself with just a touch.”
“That is rather convenient. Only me and Alice will fit in here, so please wait outside for the rest.”
“As instructed…”
Helberg quickly stepped back.
Cuckoo coo!
The door opened on both sides with a roar.
Soon, a jaw-dropping scene unfolded.
A huge amount of magic stones and various artifacts.
It’s gold piled up like a mountain. Even if I had to say it, it only hurts my mouth.
In particular, the top-notch holy relics were displayed in the glass coffin that hung down on one side.
At least S-class or higher.
I see things that seem ‘immeasurable’.
“Wow…”
A golden wave passed through Elise’s pupils.
“It exceeds expectations.”
Jinhyuk also burst into admiration.
Even if you rob the warehouses of quite a few giant powers, you won’t be able to find these high-quality treasures.
wiggle! wiggle!
I felt the subspace inventory vibrate violently.
The sweet potato inside smelled the sweet aroma of the magic stone.
“Yes, our Kuma suffered a lot too.”
He gave up his life span and manifested as his body. Appropriate compensation should be given.
There were items that could be given to the rest of the spirits and summoned beasts.
“Mosquito!”
The sweet potato that came out jumped toward the pile of magic stones.
Wow! Quadduk!
The appearance of eating magic stones at once without taking a breath.
Seeing him wag his tail, it seems like my stomach is full.
“Hee hee… hoo oh. This fits the weight of Jim. Wow! Was this here? This is what I was really looking for!”
Alice, too, was obsessed with choosing fancy jewels and trinkets.
There are definitely a lot of great things.
But among them…
the difference in rank caught my eye.
Jinhyuk stood tall on the spot.
“Ha ha…”
Laughter escaped my lips.
I never expected to see this here.
