Chapter 60: Revenge Is Reserved For The Ones Who Seek It... (4)
* * *[O Virgin! I have seized control of the Royal Seal!]The unicorn exclaimed, and simultaneously, all the magic circles constructed by the Royal Seal spread across the sky came to a stop immediately.However, that was not the end. They had only managed to stop the magic meant to make the volcanoes erupt; the Dragon was very much alive and breathing.At least I’ve managed to complete the first stage. Now, onto the next.Yeomyeong placed the rod on the Royal Seal and dove towards the Dragon.Although he couldn't fly around like Mara, he could ride the massive flow of mana emanating from the Royal Seal.[Go, Virgin! You are the only one who can put a stop to that Dragon’s madness!]Mana burst forth from the Royal Seal, propelling him forward.As a flash of light blinded his eyes, a multitude of varying sensations pierced through Yeomyeong's body simultaneously.Mana from the Royal Seal, light from the handle, the unicorn’s will, and… the Dragon’s rage.[How dare an Earthian defile the token of dwarves!!]The Dragon swung its foreleg at Yeomyeong as he dove towards it.Just as the massive, scaled arm was about to strike him, mana surged from Yeomyeong’s sword.[Graaah!!]The scales on the Dragon's right foreleg split open, and blood splattered. This miracle was a result of his mana enhanced by the World Tree’s crystal and the acceleration of his blood flow.However, the price of striking the Dragon’s hand in midair was not light.The enormous mass that his sword was unable to block hit Yeomyeong’s body, and he plummeted towards the ground.BOOM!!A cloud of dust flew up from the valley floor beneath the Dragon’s feet.Yeomyeong, who had crashed into the ground, immediately inspected his body.…Three ribs and the entire left arm. I took more damage than I expected.Fortunately, thanks to him intentionally concentrating mana in his lower body, his leg bones were intact.He gritted his teeth and got up. When he looked up, the giant dragon’s eyes were glaring down at him.Its reptilian eyes burned with a desire for revenge. Yeomyeong met the Dragon’s gaze with calm eyes.A misplaced desire for revenge and a sense of kinship.The two pairs of eyes briefly exchanged emotions. And soon after, the Dragon began to cast a spell.[Companion of the thief.]Fwoosh!!A giant fireball began to descend from above Yeomyeong’s head. The blazing flames erupted, causing the valley to scream, and dust to kick up.Yeomyeong leaped out through the cloud of dust.Clutching his broken arm, he dashed through the valley.[Repulsive thief, how the hell did you manage to obtain that token?]Accompanied by the Dragon’s words, various spells pursued him. Deadly magic that would guarantee death if even one hit him.[Was it by thievery? Or Are you perhaps a grave robber? Did avarice make you desecrate the dead and steal their last treasure?]Yet, none of the spells managed to hit Yeomyeong, who evaded them by using the Feather Step. The Dragon bared its teeth and drew more mana.[Answer me, you fly! By what filthy, despicable means were you able to defile the legacy of the Golden Bloodline?]The entire valley trembled under the pressure of the Dragon’s mana, and an enormous amount of flames covered the valley.“Hey! Lizard! Can you not see me?”Zzzzzzzonk!!Mara’s fist struck the Dragon's face. The punch filled with crimson mana made the Dragon’s head turn, and the spells it was preparing scattered all at once.[How dare you, a pest!]The Dragon’s teeth rattled, and its red scales flapped, but it quickly regained its stance in the air.“Spit out your neidan and just go to hell!”Mara thrust their fist forward once more, and this time, the Dragon prepared for hand-to-hand combat instead of magic. Not only did it ready its hands and feet, but its massive tail as well.Whoosh!!As the Dragon, comparable in size to a high-rise building, began to move in earnest, an intense wind swept through the valley.The wind strengthened the flames the Dragon had spewed earlier, making them even larger. Some flames even spread beyond the valley and spilled into the mountains.Zzzzzzzonk!!As the Dragon and Mara clashed in the sky and a forest fire began spreading about the valley, Yeomyeong finally met the Saintess who was rushing towards him.“Yeomyeong!”The Saintess didn’t say something clichéd like she knew he’d come back or that she believed in him.Instead, she threw away her rifle and began pouring healing light from both hands.“Arrghh, seriously! How the hell do you keep getting yourself this messed up every time you fight!”Despite her harsh tone, she had a look of worry as she gave Yeomyeong once over.His skin was red and burned, and his left arm was hanging limp.And despite the severe pain, Yeomyeong replied with his usual calm expression.“The Royal Seal has been neutralized. So there’s no need to worry about the volcanoes destroying Manchuria now.”“...What? Really?”“Would I even lie about something like that? But even without the Royal Seal... a dragon is still a dragon.”Yeomyeong looked up and observed the fight between the Dragon and Mara. Due to the difference in size, Mara was barely managing to keep up.“Unless we manage to take down that creature, the outcome won’t change by that much. Whether it goes around to make the volcanoes erupt or spreads fire... To prevent any possible trouble from cropping up down the line, we need to fight the Dragon.”“...What should I do?”The Saintess asked while gazing in the same direction.“The blessing you gave me back when we were fighting Kahal Magdu. Will it be possible to do the same now?”“Yes. With my remaining mana... I can do it up to three times if I push myself.”“What about blessings on weapons?”“I can bestow that one three times more than God Redox's red blessing. So, about nine times in total?”That would be enough. Yeomyeong checked the gradually recovering sensation in his left arm and said,“Six on our weapons and one on my body. That should be enough to slaughter the Dragon.”Slaughter the Dragon? The Saintess, who only expected them to buy time until the military arrived, swallowed hard.“…Is that even possible?”“If it were impossible, I wouldn’t even try.”His words, full of conviction, seemed somewhat more reliable than any prophecy.
* * *Fighting the dragon was pure agony for Mara.
Despite using the Demonic Blood Reversal Technique to squeeze every ounce of their Qi and Blood, the physical limits were proving to be a hindrance.Originally, just a few gestures would be enough for them to have killed the lizard, but instead of counterattacking, they were struggling to avoid its attacks and were now trying to buy time instead.What proved to be the problem was not the Dragon’s hands and tail, covering the sky, but the sporadic spells it cast.When is that bastard coming?Mara gritted their teeth as they narrowly dodged another fiery blast that passed by overhead.The irritation surged as they remembered Yeomyeong’s face, who had said an opportunity would arrive if they just held on for a few minutes.Could he have fled? No, that can’t be true.There was no reason for him to flee after coming this far. It might be different if it was after they defeated the dragon, but right now, the two of them needed to work together.Just as their thoughts began to wander, the Dragon began to gather mana in its mouth.The Dragon’s Breath—The secret technique of a dragon that was stronger than any magic.Kwaaa!Flames spewed out from the Dragon’s mouth. The blazing fire spread in a fan shape, on the verge of engulfing Mara.“This crazy bastard.”If that hit, they would surely die. Following the warning their instincts were yelling at them, Mara dashed through the air.Behind the one moving at their fastest possible speed, crimson mana extended like a comet.Was it because they had squeezed out all their Qi and Blood? Mara barely managed to go beyond the range of the Dragon’s breath. However, they had no chance to catch their breath.The Dragon flapped its wings and chased after Mara. And as it closed the distance, it cast a spell without warning.A ring of flames and chains of fire covered the sky, all aimed towards Mara. Though not as powerful, their purpose was clear.To bind their legs so they could no longer escape.[Now die, you wretched fly!]While Mara’s feet were bound by the spell, the Dragon opened its mouth at a range that Mara could not escape from.Gooooohhh— The flames of its breath surged up its neck.“Damn, using the Divine Art here is a bit too much…”Just as Mara began to prepare his last move, and the very moment the Dragon was sure of his victory, a red light surged from the opposite cliff.Distracted by the light, the Dragon forgot to unleash its Dragon’s breath. No, it had no choice but to be.Pure red mana. Mana symbolizing a being from beyond the Dimensional Portal, not from Earth.[O God Redox…?]As it gazed at the cliff in disbelief, a familiar human appeared in the Dragon’s line of sight—the Earthian who had seized control of the Royal Seal using the token of the Uragan bloodline.Crimson light was shimmering from his body.It was an unbelievable sight. An invader from Earth possessed the blessing of a god.[How dare, how dare, how dare! An Earthian imitate the divine light!!]The Dragon denied the reality taking place before its eyes. An Earthian receiving a divine blessing? Could there be a more horrifying joke?Yes, it must be an illusion spell—a disgusting trick to obscure its eyes.There’s no way God would bestow its blessings upon Earth, the birthplace of communism, let alone on an Earthian.All Earthians were unbelievers. They scorned religion as the opium of people and openly disregarded the gods.After all, how many temples did Stalin burn to the ground, and how many holy relics did communists taint? How dare they! How dare![This is blasphemy!]The Dragon frantically began gathering its mana, preparing its Dragon's Breath to erase the blasphemous being from this world.However, that Earthian was not afraid. He did not flee.Instead, he drew a blue dagger from his pocket and, with his hands hanging by his sides, prepared to confront him.Was he planning on facing the Dragon’s flames head on? Orsay Taboul scoffed at his arrogance and prepared to breathe fire. Or rather, it intended to.Bang!Just as the Dragon was about to take its final breath, someone fired a bullet from behind.It was A white bullet similar to the one that had managed to pierce its eye.The Dragon closed its mouth reflexively and raised its hand to block the bullet. The bullet bounced off its scales, leaving only a small scratch behind.However, that caused it to miss the timing for its pre-emptive attack.The Earthian, who had mimicked the divine blessing, twisted his waist and swung his sword.The iron sword in his right hand and the dagger in his left slashed through the air simultaneously.Swaaak!Along the blade path of red blessing, starlight erupted.Comet Sword. The brilliant Sword Aura flew towards the Dragon’s wings like beams of light.THIS CHAPTER UPLOAD FIRST AT NOVELBIN.COM
