Became a tyrant of defense games (Episode 627)

◈ 627. [Free exploration] Thorn Tree Road

It looked more like a lizard than a dragon..

The head of this gigantic creature, whose entire body was covered in shiny black scales, had no eyes, nose, ears, or mouth..

The long, blunt head looked like an inorganic machine..

The wingless creature had a long, smooth snake-like body with low, sturdy legs..

Six muscular legs with particularly long black claws..

And, the long, huge, thick tail also split into six parts at the end..

Selfless dragon).

Pterodactylless dragon).

Eyeless dragon).

A dragon without molars, wings, or eyes. One who runs rampant and destroys. Black Dragon's Claw Parekhian.

He was our first dragon raid opponent, and it was our first encounter in a proper combat situation among the Black Dragon Legion..

Clang, Clap!…….

Sensing our presence, it slowly stood up..

It wasn't a living thing, but a sound that sounded like a moving piece of armor rang out from its entire body..

and,

Giiiiiiing-!

The center of its chest became red, and the red energy echoed and spread throughout its body..

It looks like the engine is starting. It really feels like some kind of alien mechanical life form, not a dragon.…….

Behind its lowered body, each of its six tails wiggled, ready for battle..

Saaaaa……!

The sticky, evil energy unique to the black dragon, like tropical night air, seeped out and spread around its body. No matter how you look at it, you're full of thoughts of killing us..

If it had been any other dragon, we would have met each other face to face and had a conversation, be it a curse word or a small talk, but this guy doesn't even have that process..

Because this bastard has no mouth.

Because there is no option for dialogue in the first place..

‘And that means he has no mouth.’

In other words, it means there is no breath ability..

Among the black dragon corps, it is an individual that specializes in physical fighting and close-quarters fighting. That's this guy Parekhian.

“preparation…….”

Even though I did not give any special orders, my heroes were already in formation as they had trained..

I slowly lifted one hand up.

“The battle begins immediately. Keep your tactics in mind…….”

Tookkuk-!

Before he could even finish speaking, Parekhian soared..

Parekhian hit the ground with terrifying force and was floating in the air for an instant. It soared as easily as a feather, to the point where it felt like a lie that it had no wings..

I shouted.

“run-!”

The next moment, Parekhian spun his body like a top and lunged towards us..

Tokakakakakak!

The entire elongated body swept the floor, bending like a whip..

The pattern he always uses as his first attack is a spinning body slam. In reality, there might be a cooler name for the technique, but no matter how you look at it, it's just a spinning body slam.!

And this is the pattern we have trained ourselves to respond to over time..

Sweep the floor. It was the so-called flooring machine..

By the time it came rushing at us, it was already.

Taat-!

There are 25 heroes on our side, 10 reserve troops, and even unknowns. This was after 36 people kicked the ground and jumped at the same time to avoid the violent floor machine..

“From training sessions to martial arts competitions, all those times…….”

I looked back while floating in the air and shouted with a grin..

“It had meaning.-!”

Rope jumping training is not just one day or two, Sasha.!

Of course, his body slam was nothing compared to that of a jump rope in terms of size and speed, but I was able to avoid it without any problems because I assumed this and trained for it..

Parekhian passed us at our feet and was pinned to the wall behind us..

Kwagwagwagwang-!

The entrance to the Public Safety Office was immediately devastated..

Parekhian's hand-to-hand attack, which flew round and round across the floor, created chaos in the area, but none of our heroes allowed a hit..

‘good start!’

At the same time as everyone on our side landed on the ground, Parekhian also straightened his posture in the thick dust..

It didn't attack us right away, but looked at its momentum for a moment, as if assessing our strength. Each of the six tails turned towards us like tentacles..

next moment,

Taat-!

The guy who jumped smoothly started climbing up the wall..

The garden at the entrance to the Public Safety Office was large and roundly landscaped. It climbed nimbly and violently up the inner wall of the garden..

Every time its feet touched, the inner wall of the garden shattered, scattering glass and stone dust in all directions..

“Is it really a lizard? Tsk.……!”

Climbing the cylindrical inner wall of the garden and spinning round and round above our heads, Parekhian moved leisurely as if searching for a weak point..

Well, that's good. If you give it time, this isn't too bad. No, I rather like it.

I turned to the side. The illusionist's eyes met mine and Violet's shoulders trembled..

“It's time to show off your skills, Violet..”

“Damn, damn, how did I end up here, really……!”

“Because, that's right.”

I smiled softly.

“You stand out well!”

“Wow!”

Even though her shoulders were shaking, Violet moved skillfully as she had trained..

Light purple magical energy overflowed from her body, and when she placed her hand on the ground, it spread widely throughout the area..

Hwaak-!

[Illusion area].

The zone of illusion spread by Violet quickly filled the interior of the Public Security Agency. Then Parekhian was seen flinching in embarrassment..

Parekhian has no eyes. No ears, no nose.

In other words, there is no sense of sight, hearing, or smell to understand the surrounding situation..

The only way he understands the battlefield is through pure energy. It is about spreading the enormous magical energy you are born with and understanding the world through its reverberations..

Could this be said to be similar to bats, which have low vision but emit ultrasonic waves to understand their surroundings?.

In other words, he has an abnormally developed sense of energy.,

……Therefore, it can be easily disturbed.

Violet's illusion area was properly established. I turned my gaze to the side..

“junior!”

“I was preparing!”

When called next, Junior, who was waiting, immediately raised his wand and used magic..

Ugh!

A dazzling halo appears in the air, and real space becomes distorted..

[Elemental Deconstruction].

The ultimate magic that reduces the opponent's magic power and is the ultimate in boss battles. This completely devastated Parekhian..

however.

“Ugh?! What is this crazy magical power?……!”

Junior frowned and leaned back..

“That's a huge amount of horsepower. Plus, it’s rising in real time… … Even with my [Elemental Deconstruction], I can't cut it down in one go.!”

[[Elemental Disintegration] is a magic that reduces the opponent's magic power to minus level..

However, the dragon species' innate magic power itself was ridiculously high, and Parekhian was currently resisting [Elemental Disintegration] by increasing magic output in real time..

It was a response worthy of someone who has dealt with magic since time immemorial..

“The opponent is a dragon, so I'm prepared for this! Keep shooting and grinding!”

“yes……!”

Junior prepared [Elemental Deconstruction] one after another. and.

Giiiiiiing!

Parekhian wasn't an opponent foolish enough to let that go..

Parekhian prepared to rush this way, emitting a strange engine sound..

Of course, his target is Junior. He is a wizard who inflicted an unidentified debuff on himself..

but-

flinch.

Parekhian is not easy to attack.

It was because of the [Illusion Area] that Violet had sprayed first. What I ordered from Violet was one.

‘Use an illusion so that everyone in this room perceives you as Junior..’

And Violet succeeded with flying colors..

Currently, here at the Public Security Agency, all of my heroes are identified as the same as Junior in terms of magical power detection..

If Junior uses magic, everyone in the room will sense that he is using it, and if Junior overdoes it and gets a nosebleed, everyone in the room will sense that he is bleeding..

Violet says it's not a great illusion. They just copied Junior's magic pattern and overlaid it on others..

But for my purpose - to hide Junior and allow him to continue using magic, this was enough..

It is undoubtedly a weakness of Parekhian to understand the world solely by relying on his senses. In that case, the natural strategy is to exploit that weakness.!

“Okay then…….”

I shouted.

“Let's do a little trick in front of the dragon.!”

Taat-!

As soon as I finished speaking, heroes poured out in all directions and rushed out..

Parekian is indistinguishable.

Among the humans scattered in all directions, who is the user of this magic??

Tooung-!

Eventually, Parekhian gave up and glided downward. And attacked the nearest hero.

Tsukakakakak!

The dirt floor of the garden was viciously dented by the repeated attacks of the spinning and slashing claws and tail..

And the closest hero - Evangeline, was thrown off her shield and screamed..

“Lord, I almost died.……!”

Evangeline's shield and armor were in tatters even though she dodged what she could and took only attacks that could not be avoided..

But I held on.

‘This is the reason why it is organized mainly with characters that are as close as possible..’

The key to this operation is to bide time while Junior wears down his mana..

That is, the team has focused on melee heroes who are easy to avoid the monster's powerful melee pattern and can withstand even a few attacks.……!

giiiiing!

After confirming that the opponent was not a wizard, Parekhian turned around and glared at the other heroes. OK,

“I am Jujudaaaat!”

“no! i am junior-!”

“spinach! tomato! Anyway, vegetables!”

“Juju! Juju! Juju!”

All the heroes scattered in all directions, imitating Junior..

“……Ugh.”

Junior's face turned bright red. I don’t want to see this bastard anymore, so quickly use [Elemental Dissolution] next time.!

bang! Quad Deuk! Well!

Heroes who loudly attracted attention and pretended to be wizards by cosplaying sincerely fell like leaves in an autumn wind..

Even though they were knocked down, crushed, and smashed, the heroes succeeded in attracting attention..

“I'm ready-!”

Junior shouted and lifted his cane..

With his first [Elemental Dissolution], Junior roughly figured out how many more times he would need to pour out Parekhian's magic power, and was simultaneously preparing as many [Elemental Dissolution] as needed using the 'Multiple Chant' function..

Zeng!

Zeng!

Whoa whoa!

At the same time, overlapping [Elemental Deconstruction] explodes continuously..

We succeeded in completely reducing Parekhian's horribly high magical power level, which he had endured in a disgusting way..

“Damian! chain! Body bag! Dear Diermudin!”

I gave the order to the waiting fireteam..

“Conduct fire suppression-!”

Snipers and wizards poured firepower on him as if they had been waiting..

Parekhian, whose energy was confused by the overlapping pouring of [Elemental Disintegration], staggered and was beaten by all the firepower projections..

But I can't kill you with this.

Not only is it lacking in damage, but it's a dragon. The lost magic power is also being restored in real time..

The purpose is to keep him in one place..

After one round of firepower, someone quickly ran towards the staggering Parekhian..

Dusk Bringer, and… … It was Lucas holding Violet in his arms..

“This is it - eat it.!”

Dusk Bringer kicked off the ground and suddenly grabbed Parekhian's head and violently threw it to the ground..

bang-!

It was a very refreshing movement, as if it were a wrestling technique..

Lucas, who had used [One Step of Tenacity], arrived like a gale next to Parekhian's head..

Lucas gently placed Violet in his arms on the ground, and I called her trembling name..

“Hatch it, Violet.-!”

Violet closed her eyes tightly and,

“okay…….”

I raised both hands above the shiny, gigantic dragon's head..

“It's all because I'm so proud!”

flashing-!

Violet's ultimate skill, single target illusion area - [Daydream] exploded..

Parekhian's whole body trembled as if struck by lightning..

***

Parekhian is a dragon without sentience..

What I told Violet to show to Parekhian... … It was just like reality.

To the dragon that cannot see, to the dragon that cannot hear, to the dragon that cannot smell. I will show you the scenery here and now as it is..

Parekhian trembled in front of the vivid sensations he encountered for the first time in his life..

The world that he had always understood only through the reverberations of magical power was now unfolding around him, wearing colors, sounds, and smells..

I slowly approached that guy..

Thanks to Violet's magic acting directly on his brain, he was looking at me clearly..

‘Success.’

I breathed a sigh of relief..

Most boss monsters have ‘Phases’..

Whether your stamina decreases or time passes after entering battle... … If you do this, you will enter the next phase, the pattern will change, and you will become more powerful and vicious..

In the case of Parekhian, if his stamina is reduced, he enters the next phase, at which time his 'true form' is revealed and he even goes berserk..

As we were not yet ready for the dragon slayer weapon, our first dragon hunt meant we had to be prepared for great damage..

To be honest, I wasn't confident I could catch it without any damage. He was an opponent whose victory could not be guaranteed even if he fought properly..

So I prepared a trick..

I stayed in the first phase without intentionally striking, and took my time by inducing simple patterns.…….

Suddenly, the magic power is lost.

After forcing myself to use an illusion,.

“Parekian, you…….”

Tactics of mental control!

“be mine!”
