Only I Level Up: Ragnarok Episode 161
Tomb of the Dragons.
This was the place where the last war was fought between the King of the Dead, Shadow Lord Seong Jin-Woo, and Antares, the King of the Dragons and Lord of Destruction..
The war between the two powerful forces was truly fierce and brutal, and in the end, it was Seong Jin-woo's shadow army that emerged victorious..
As a result, from that day on, the corpses of countless dragons turned to ash were scattered like a blizzard across this land..
Cha Hae-in and Sirka had entered this bleak and desolate land to restore the power of the shadow dragon Kaisel..
Kaisel, whose strength had weakened while protecting Cha Hae-in, fell into a deep sleep immediately after arriving here in Cha Hae-in's arms..
this is some kind of hibernation.
On the outside, it looked like he was just asleep, but now Kaisel was absorbing the power of the tiny dragons contained in the gray ash..
While Kaisel was recovering his strength, there was only one thing for Cha Hae-in and Sirka to do..
Vaguely wandering this barren land.
At first, they tried to find a suitable place to stay and wait for Kaisel to recover..
But not long after that, Kaisel woke up yawning profusely..
What Kaisel wanted was clear..
keep moving.
This was because there was a limit to the power that could be absorbed in one place..
In a way, it was natural.
In the first place, the energy contained in the corpses of the wild dragons was only a mere glimmer of energy..
In order for Kaisel, who has hit rock bottom, to absorb enough energy to recover his full strength, he might have to travel all over this dimension..
Cha Hae-in and Sirka, who understood the principle, began wandering the earth in search of new places to help Kaisel recover..
After a while.
“……!”
A truly huge and majestic silhouette appeared in front of them as they wandered aimlessly..
“Chacha! I'll cover you!”
Under Sirka's cover, Cha Hae-in drew his sword and slowly approached him..
After approaching through the gray snowstorm,…….
Finally, the reality was clearly revealed to them..
“oh my god.”
They couldn't help but be astonished.
“……It wasn't all reduced to ashes..”
Surprisingly, in front of them were the huge corpses of dragons that had not yet been reduced to ashes, with only their bones remaining..
“It feels like I'm at some kind of dinosaur museum..”
Cha Hae-in felt a little overwhelmed by the grandeur of the giant dragon bones..
[purr…….]
At that moment, Kaisel also woke up and looked around with sleepy eyes..
Cha Hae-in asked while stroking Kaisel’s back..
“How are you feeling? Do you think your strength will come back faster here??”
[Grumble…….]
At Cha Hae-in's touch, Kaisel quietly closed his eyes as if it felt good..
Sirka, who saw that expression from the side, said with joy.
“Great. It is inevitable that the recovery rate will be much higher around corpses that have at least bones left than corpses that have been reduced to ashes. The corpses of dragons are a great treasure in themselves..”
Cha Hae-in also nodded at Sirka’s words..
Even when I think back to my past life, dragon bones were truly a tremendous resource..
It boasted tremendous strength and durability to bear the weight of the massive dragon, and of course, its mana sensitivity was also the best..
“Great. If we could take all these bones to Earth and make weapons, it would be of great help to Su-ho..”
“I know. It's so old that it's weathered and worn down, but if you look closely, you'll find many intact bone fragments.…….”
Cha Hae-in was just about to reach for her necklace to open her inventory..
creepy!
“damage!”
“……!”
Cha Hae-in and Sirka suddenly felt like they had made a promise to live, so they scattered in opposite directions..
Kwaang-!
Then there was a huge explosion where they were standing..
Grumble!
In the aftermath of the explosion, the bones of nearby dragons collapsed..
Cha Hae-in and Sirka hurriedly avoided the debris and prepared for battle..
“I'll cover you!”
Well done!
Sirka quickly retreated and pulled the bowstring, and Cha Hae-in immediately jumped forward with his sword in hand..
Then, the identity of those who caused the explosion was finally revealed to Cha Hae-in's vision..
“Kirlaka!”
“Kirukadra!”
“……!”
Cha Hae-in's eyes widened..
Surprisingly, they were warriors and shamans made of bones..
However, it did not look like an ordinary human being like a skeleton..
Sirka, who was protecting Cha Hae-in by shooting arrows from behind, recognized their identities and shouted in surprise..
“They're mercenaries.!”
“It's called dragon disease.?”
Dragon infantry).
In Greek, they are a legendary race also called Spartoi (Σπαρτοί), meaning 'the sown ones'..
As the name suggests, they were warriors who appeared when a dragon's tooth was planted in the ground..
“It seems like the dragon's teeth that haven't been reduced to ashes have been reborn as demonic beasts.!”
Sirka remembered..
King of the Dragons, Lord of Destruction.
Antares, more commonly called the Dragon Emperor, was the most powerful of all monarchs..
He was the strongest dragon in name and reality, and the light dragons he led were an invincible army with tremendous strength and magic..
For a long time, their bodies were left on this earth instead of turning into ashes..
It was certain that the power residing in their bones created the Dragon Soldiers..
however… … There was something unclear..
“A dragon child without an owner is born! This is possible?!”
“what does that mean?”
Cha Hae-in, seeing Sirka's surprised appearance, shouted at Sirka while fighting with the dragon soldiers..
The number of dragon soldiers was as large as the corpses of dragons left on this land, and they were continuously crawling out of the ground and surrounding Chahaein and Sirka..
but.
“White Flame Storm!”
Rumbling!
As Cha Hae-in raised the Demon King's long sword high, hundreds of lightning bolts began to strike from the sky..
“Kirakrak!”
“Karcak!”
The demon king's long sword was a long sword that contained the power of Baran, the king of demons and the lord of white flames..
The sword had the power to create a storm of constant lightning in the area..
In that overwhelming disaster, the mercenary soldiers simply screamed and collapsed..
but.
“Wow!”
“I'm holding on to this?!”
Cha Hae-in's eyes widened..
Even in the white flame storm that caused great damage to Italim's apostles, the dragon soldiers were rising again..
“Chacha! I heard that dragon soldiers are born from dragon teeth and have high defense power.!”
“It sure looks like that.”
Cha Hae-in carefully adjusted his sword..
[Crumbling.]
“Don't worry, Kaisel. You can keep sleeping.”
Kaisel, who felt something strange, opened his eyes with a worried expression, but Cha Hae-in smiled and comforted him..
“Still, the damage was clearly done..”
As the saying goes, the speed of the mercenary soldiers who were hit directly by lightning was noticeably slowed down..
If you deal with them one by one, won't they all end up lying down one day?.
Quack!
Cha Hae-in, who swung his sword and cut off the waist of the dragon soldier in front, looked back at Sirka..
“Sirka! So what did you just say? What's strange??”
“ah……!”
Sirka responded by firing an arrow at the dragon soldier shaman who was making a magic attack from the furthest distance..
“I don't know much about the dragon race, but I know one thing for sure! A mercenary soldier without an owner cannot exist.!”
“There must be an owner?”
“huh! I originally heard that dragons make dragon babies by pulling out their own teeth! The purpose is, of course, to protect yourself! To be more precise……!”
Sirka's gaze turned to Kaisel, who was sleeping on Cha Hae-in's shoulder..
“Protecting the dragon while it hibernates! That's the purpose of Yongahbyeong's existence.!”
“what?”
Cha Hae-in, who heard Sirka's words and realized something strange, looked around..
“But there are no living dragons here.?”
“I mean, it's weird! Mercenaries who lose their masters return to their teeth.!”
“Then what about these guys?…….”
It was definitely strange.
For this many dragon soldiers to exist, it meant that there had to be that many living dragons here..
But no matter where I looked, I couldn't see any living dragons..
That means, in the end, the material for these mercenary soldiers is the teeth of these corpses..
“……Then maybe there is a new owner??”
“Or, someone appeared who could make a dragon bottle using the teeth of other dragons..”
“In the end, it's a similar conclusion. It feels like they won't answer even if I ask..”
Thanks to Cha Hae-in's necklace with an interpreter function, he was able to understand the words coming out of the dragon soldiers' mouths from earlier..
“Kirkara (Kill the intruder))!”
“……You're an intruder.”
‘That means we've either invaded somewhere or we don't want to invade..’
Where is that somewhere?.
Cha Hae-in calmly looked around and shouted as he cut down another dragon soldier..
“Sirka! I'll be in charge here for a while, so you can say a 'prayer' to the Lord of the Cold!”
Sirka is a descendant of the Lord of Cold Cold, and was able to convey thoughts to the Lord of Cold Cold..
‘Guardian, a 'priest', was able to awaken the heroic spirit of the Lord of the Cold from eternal sleep, but Sirka was even able to send a one-sided message through 'prayer'..
And the message sent in that way would be delivered to Suho, the priest, through the Monarch of the Cold..
“……This is not what the prayer was originally supposed to be..”
Sirka began to pray to Silad, the Lord of the Cold, with a slightly embarrassed expression..
“So what do you want me to say to you??”
* * *
At that time, Suho and Lim Do-gyun had arrived in Busan..
The purpose is, of course, to conquer the dungeon..
But this attack was a bit of a special case..
“Are you the guild leader of Woojin Guild??”
“no. My name is Lim Do-gyun, the deputy guild leader. Our boss is here…….”
“Oh, excuse me.!”
At Lim Do-gyun's words, the female hunter who came to greet Woojin's guild blushed and urgently apologized..
Then, with a shy expression, he came in front of Suho and greeted him with a bright expression..
“hello! My name is Lee Joo-hee, a healer from the Knights Guild! Welcome to Busan!”
“Ah yes. hello. My name is Seong Su-ho, the guild leader..”
“…….”
“……?”
But why?.
When Lee Joo-hee, who greeted Su-ho, met Su-ho's face, she suddenly looked intently at Su-ho's face with a strange expression..
Suho asked with a puzzled expression..
“Is there anything wrong??”
“Oh no! Excuse me. The boss's face looks familiar. I guess it's just my mood.”
“……?”
It was Lee Joo-hee who belatedly apologized to Su-ho with an embarrassed expression..
‘I'm a very picky person too. How do I know this young man? When I first lived in Seoul, this person wouldn't have been born yet..’
Joohee Lee quickly got to the point, blaming herself for making so many mistakes today..
“Hmm. Anyway, CEO Seong Su-ho. Thank you so much for coming to help our Knights Guild. Hunter Lim Tae-gyu arrived first and is waiting at the guild office. I will guide you.”
gulp.
It was Lim Do-gyun, who swallowed his saliva with a nervous expression when he heard that his father was waiting..
