218fury. What the King Carried (2)
‘Because I am the king.’
raise your gaze.
under the dark night sky.
The Bone Dragon, like a huge mountain range, stood tall..
A barrier that can never be overcome.
An iron fortress that can never be destroyed.
Is this how a mayfly feels when it faces a giant alone?.
‘useless worries.’
King Alicia laughed..
The next moment, I kicked the ground..
Pahat!
Immediately after the leap was made.
Her place was destroyed..
Toukwaang-!
The Bone Dragon's huge front paws hit the ground..
An enormous impact force ripped through the ground..
A pit 10 meters deep and 25 meters in diameter was created destructively..
Countless debris flying in all directions was a bonus..
“……Inhale!”
King Alicia floated into the air and swung her sword..
The sword was divided into dozens of branches and wrapped around the entire body..
Hundreds of pieces of debris flew at subsonic speed..
collided with the sword.
Kakakakakakang!
Hundreds of fireworks bloomed.
she broke through the flame.
Jumped headfirst into the Bone Dragon..
“Hehehe!”
One rough breath.
At the same time, her Manahat roared..
A change also occurred in her sword..
Kiaaaang-!
The longsword in her hand howled like an animal..
He revealed his hidden fangs..
Spewing out a red flash.
It emitted an aura that was close to ten times the area of the long sword's blade..
The width of the blade of the Aura Sword created in this way is a whopping 50 centimeters..
The length reached 4 meters..
He struck down like an axe with an Aura sword of destructive size..
I aimed for the wrist of the bone dragon's front paw..
Kwakagak!
It was the bone of a bone dragon that had not even had a scratch before..
But this time was different.
‘done!’
The Auror Sword penetrated the bone by about 1 cm..
Black magical power poured out like blood through the slightly dented surface of the bone..
‘It was a little bit, but it worked..’
Lee Chae appeared in the king's eyes..
It's different from before when the attack didn't work at all..
Although it was only a little, we succeeded in digging into the bone dragon's bone surface..
That means?
If you do a little better.
If you do it just a little bit better.
It meant that it could cause even greater damage..
‘I don't want anything grand. Just one leg. If we destroy just that much, the royal capital garrison will be able to do something about the future. you can do it!’
Kiaaaaa!
King Alicia's Manahat roared even more fiercely..
Her movements became more fierce and heavy..
Like a muscular beast.
Like an animal that breaks the neck of its prey with a single blow..
Put maximum force on the ground.
Touuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
Every surface she stepped on cracked..
The paving stones were broken and the rocks were cracked..
Strong steps and strides.
A violently generated repulsion force.
Her whole body shot out like a cannonball..
All of the enormous power was placed in the Auror Sword..
“Hmm!”
tukwahak!
A clear blow rather than a small technique.
I struck Bone Dragon's wrist bone again..
Hitting, cutting, stabbing, again more intensely.
Kwaaang-!
five lunges.
Five bombing-like attacks occurred in succession..
The Bone Dragon's once impregnable wrist bone also had slightly deeper scratches..
And Bone Dragon shook off his wrist..
“……!”
Tookkkk!
Alicia, who was preparing for the next attack, was grazed by her front paw..
It flew as far as 30 meters away..
I barely found the balance.
landed.
“……Wow!”
King Alicia was nauseated..
I just got hit by one punch..
The moment I was hit, I countered with the Auror Sword to offset the impact..
But I almost died from that one hit..
‘What the heck.’
King Alicia's eyes shook greatly..
Even now, my shaken stomach has not settled down..
Manahart, who had been hit, was also panting heavily..
Suddenly, I felt unfair..
‘I trained so hard.’
It was after the attempted assassination of the king..
I haven't had a single day of rest.
I trained by pushing myself to extreme situations every day..
Like a person with obsessive compulsive disorder.
I pushed myself harder than when I was training to become a sword master..
Thanks to you, I grew up.
He was confident that he had the skills to subdue not only his past self, but also Lord Cherny, who had betrayed him..
That pride turned into confidence as they wiped out the remnants of the warlock..
‘I thought it was over now. But…….’
there was a sky above the sky.
No, there was a monster that couldn't be overcome..
Bone Dragon looking down at himself.
King Alicia felt deeply as she looked up at the monster..
‘I can't fight it.’
At least it could cause some damage..
So, I think we can buy time until the royal capital garrison is ready to respond..
That's something only a sword master can do..
So you have to do it yourself.
I can do it.
I thought so.
‘Was even that a mistake?.’
Crash!
King Alicia gritted her teeth..
I looked up at the Bone Dragon rushing towards me with its entire body..
His mouth is wide open.
I pointed my Auror Sword at it..
But that was then..
Throwing a bet!
From somewhere, a storm-like wave of mana flew in a straight line..
I hit the bone dragon squarely in the side of the face..
Kwaaang-!
Bone Dragon's head popped to the side..
Thanks to this, his rush slowed down just a little..
At that moment, someone's voice struck Alicia's hearing..
“Speed rather than power. Rather than going straight ahead, take a detour. I dare to help you, Your Majesty..”
“……!”
Only then could Alicia see..
Between the full moon half revealed between the clouds.
A person was crossing the air.
Landed on the bone dragon's spine..
took the sword.
Quang, another violent explosion.
I used that explosion to launch myself again..
In an instant, it landed on this side..
He spoke quickly and politely..
“Excuse me, go over there..”
“……!”
Javiel Asrahan.
It was a silver-haired knight..
He was winking to one side..
King Alicia reacted immediately..
I rushed in the direction Javiel pointed out..
Immediately after that, the Bone Dragon's huge maw fiercely chewed the space she had left..
Kwagkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!
“…….”
avoided.
It was from then on..
King Alicia's counterattack has begun.
Javiel joined the counterattack..
It was a joint attack by two sword masters, a rare occurrence in history..
“His Majesty the King.”
“Uh, yeah.”
“Do you dare to tell me something?.”
“Since the situation is what it is, leave out all the complicated honorifics. as concisely as possible.”
A barrage of Bone Dragons.
Alicia commanded as she barely ran to avoid it..
Javiel answered while running side by side..
“All right. Then, your highness, feel free to run wild on the ground..”
“You?”
“I will take care of the disturbance..”
“Disruption??”
“This means that accuracy will be taken away from the offensive targeting His Majesty. Okay then, that's it..”
hook.
Javiel, who was running side by side, disappeared with the sound of the wind..
No, it went that far away in an instant..
light flashed.
tukwahak-!
The blast fired in an instant hit the exact center of Bone Dragon's spine..
Although there were no cracks etched into the bones..
However, the huge body of the bone dragon slightly shook..
That was enough.
Because the trajectory of the bone dragon's front paw that was striking towards Alicia shook slightly..
Kwaang-!
The front foot missed Alicia and accidentally hit the ground..
‘good. That's what you're going to do.’
The king understood Haviel's intentions..
A ferocious spirit appeared in her eyes..
It was from then on..
The king's huge Auror sword leapt like a wild beast..
Scratches were carefully carved by moving between the bone dragon's front and hind legs..
However, the Bone Dragon failed to counterattack the king..
It was because of Habiel.
Throwing a bet!
Unlike the King, who could only attack in close range with his aura, Javiel had blast attacks. Every time he extended his sword, the force of the blast crossed the space by tens of meters..
Every time, it hit the joints of the Bone Dragon as if stabbing them..
Every time that happened, the Bone Dragon's huge body swayed..
The reason was simple.
The area where weight is placed every time the bone dragon moves..
This was because only the most vulnerable joints in that area were selected and struck..
When the bone dragon swings its front paw, it swings its opposite elbow and wrist..
When you step back, your knees and hips.
When you try to correct your posture, your back.
It hit me so well every time..
Every time that happens, the Bone Dragon's huge body loses its center of gravity and stumbles..
At best, he narrowly missed the King Alicia he was aiming for..
Then the king?
gained even more momentum.
I rushed at him furiously without any hesitation..
He roared like a lion and danced with a huge Auror sword..
Meanwhile, King Alicia's heart was beating even more vigorously..
‘do. you can do it.’
The heart beat of hope.
Little by little, there was a glimpse of possibility..
When I was alone, it was a bone dragon that I couldn't even dare to confront..
It was a monster that I had no idea how to catch..
By joining forces with Haviel, it became possible to confront him..
The minimum amount of fighting was established.!
‘My sword is working.’
It wasn't a deep blow..
Even if you cut with all your might, it's only 1cm deep..
But if you hit the same spot a hundred times,?
The depth of the crack is 1 meter..
‘1Meter. That's enough. Wrists and ankles supporting that enormous weight. What if you carve a 1 meter deep crack there? Violent movement will cause the cracks to spread on their own and eventually break..’
When attacking a large animal, start with the area that supports the body weight..
I thought the same would be true for the monster-like Bone Dragon..
So from the beginning, I persistently targeted only the front wrist..
Cut, cut again.
Take a picture, take another picture.
And now, there was a glimpse of the possibility of making that hope a reality..
‘little bit more. a little bit!’
Quang! Kakak! tukwahak!
Thanks to Habiel’s support.
Narrowly avoiding the Bone Dragon's attack.
Alicia laughed wildly, repeatedly hitting the same spot..
Hope grew bigger with laughter..
There was a glimmer of a premonition of victory..
Until the Bone Dragon took off in an instant..
Throwing a bet-!
Magnificent wings suddenly spread out.
Just one powerful flap of wings.
It was the moment when King Alicia was about to strike the hundredth blow..
so suddenly.
Bone Dragon kicked the ground..
I flapped my wings and flew up..
With just one leap and flap of its wings, it soared to a height of more than 300 meters..
King Alicia looked up at the Bone Dragon in disbelief..
The bone dragon was flying so freely..
From a height that we can't even do anything about.
I was looking down here leisurely..
“……lie.”
Is this what it feels like to be an ant that loses the ankle of an eagle that was biting hard?.
Could this be a nightmare?.
‘How do you fight something like that??’
No, how do I stop it??
King Alicia looking up at the Bone Dragon in the sky.
She fell into darkness, blocked by an insurmountable wall..
♣
- Yes, despair. So much more. I feel gloomy.
……like i did.
Bone Dragon spread his wings.
Flying like a nightmare towards the night sky.
I looked down at King Alicia left on the ground..
Bone Dragon thought.
No, the soul within it, thought the warlock Targa..
‘That's what my face looked like when I got decapitated in the lab..’
King Alicia’s expression looking up at us.
I was steeped in despair..
I was drenched in gloom..
It was like a person looking at a natural disaster that they could no longer do anything about on their own..
Warlock Targa liked that..
- That's how it should be. How unfair would I have been if I hadn’t seen that look on his face?.
It was unfair.
It was like that until the moment he was killed by King Alicia..
The moment the severed head rolled on the floor.
He had to give up his body at the last moment..
It was an inevitable choice.
Because I didn’t want it to end like that.
That's why.
He transferred his soul to the dragon's skeleton kept inside the lab..
last secret.
Or you could call it a struggle..
Actually, I didn't expect much myself..
I thought the probability of success was less than 10% even if you were careful..
But that's it.
the soul has been transferred.
Nestled into the dragon's skeleton.
That's how I gave up being a seal..
It was from then on..
A long wait has unfolded.
It was a time waiting for the soul to settle into the dragon's skeleton..
Several months passed.
So today.
I finally opened my eyes with a new body..
But the results completely exceeded expectations..
‘……I didn't know it would exert this much power..’
It was so strong.
It may be slightly inferior to the actual Bone Dragon, but.
It may just be at the level of imitation, but.
That alone was enough to toy with the king, the sword master, like a bug..
This happened even though I had just started moving and was not used to my new body.!
‘Now the walking practice is over..’
That's as far as responding with a monotonous swing of the front foot.
From now on, I will play with it more seriously..
Warlock Targa laughed viciously..
I focused on the unfamiliar sensation of flapping wings..
The more this happened, the higher the Bone Dragon's body soared into the night sky..
King Alicia is also left on the ground looking up at us..
The vast garden and the royal palace behind it.
City map of royal capital Magenta.
It all felt like a city of toys or bugs..
Or, on the contrary, I felt as if I had become omnipotent..
In short, it's like.
- I feel like a god.
It was thrilling.
I felt like I could accomplish anything I wanted..
I wanted to destroy everything that stood in my way..
‘Especially King Alicia. How dare you cut my throat? That's the price. You will witness all the devastation, neither dead nor alive, until the entire capital city burns and collapses..’
The soul inside the Bone Dragon.
Warlock Targa laughed cruelly..
I'm now used to the feeling of flapping wings..
Ready to trample in earnest.
So now is the time to enjoy it.
It's time to destroy and kill everything in sight..
- Hahahaha!
bowed its huge head down.
I folded the wings that were fluttering in the air.
started to dive.
No, it was time to start..
An unexpected being descended upon him in a sudden dive..
“Coming!”
I love you so much!
‘……Ugh?’
A white shape darting down from under the dark clouds of the night sky.
It was chubby.
Has small wings.
I also saw a round head and bright eyes..
So that's…….
‘Vinous-throated parrotbill?’
It was a bird that looked bigger than a person..
But the sight wasn’t unfamiliar..
Suddenly, a story I heard before came to mind..
Immediately after the failure of the revolt at Namaran.
In the post-mortem report received from the person who planted it there, it was said that on the day the heroic act was carried out, there was a person who attacked the warlocks riding a bird..
So his name is…….
‘Lloyd, Frontera?’
The moment warlock Targa remembered his memories.
Lloyd shouted as he dived down with Kkomin..
threw something this way.
“First, get this!”
whistling!
object flying this way.
no correction, animal(?).
It was an ordinary beaver.
Targa felt absurd..
‘…….’
what.
In this situation now.
Throwing a beaver like that.
What on earth are we going to do?.
At the very moment when the warlock Targa was bewildered,.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
- ……!
The beaver that flew at him became huge..
As large as 100 meters.
With my enormous belly fat shaking,.
I hugged him without any time to respond..
“Bibbeong-!”
- That's it?
Bibeong caught the Bone Dragon in an instant..
The 3,000-ton body press attack of that sturdy fantasy species was performed at an altitude of 2,500 meters..
