Chapter 311
Kyaaaaaaaa——–!!!
Immediately after Leeha shouted, a roar that tore through the clouds spread in the sky.
The pupils of the bronze dragon Blaugrun dilated. A red-colored body with four wings flew up in the sky covering the sun.
Leeha blamed himself for not noticing earlier. Was he an outsider? A ranker? That was not possible!
Kuzi.
“Kuzgunak’sh!”
[Thank you, Bailephus’ dog!]
The chest of the Red Dragon, Kuzgunak’sh, swelled up.
The red particles gathered in front of his mouth to form the breath of a red dragon that was not weaker than Bailephus’s breath.
“K-Kuzgunak’sh, why are you here–keup!”
The bronze dragon Blaugrun was unable to finish his sentence because of the powerful tackle he felt on his waist. Puk-!
“This isn’t the time, quick!”
Leeha made an accurate decision to tackle Blaugrun and roll. It was because he instantly figured out what Kuzgunak’sh plan was. The breath of Kuzgunak’sh, who dominated the sky like a cloud, was released.
It was fortunate that Leeha had already experienced a breath before. He was able to roughly create a route in his head to avoid the breath that was close to linear magic.
“Force Barrier!”
A pale blue-green light covered Leeha and Blaugrun.
However, Leeha had no intention of relying on the barrier from the beginning. The Red Dragon’s flame breath already poured down.
‘Please hold on even for one second!’
With Blaugrun still bewildered, Leeha ran out of the barrier and turned vertically.
“Heup!”
Then, holding onto the shoulder of the bronze dragon in human form, he threw himself into a bush. Two people rolled down a slope. In an instant, the red dragon’s flame breath assaulted them.
It can be said that they survived thanks to the [Advanced Force Barrier] that lasted 1.1 seconds from the high-temperature flame that made the surface of the shield boil.
Hwarurururuk一!
As soon as their bodies were thrown, the flame breath raked the ground.
The sand and soil that should not be burning burned. The flame could not be described simply as high heat or ultra-high heat.
[Keulkeul, you didn’t just get mana from that bastard. Did he tell you how to deal with a breath? It’s useless anyway. ‘Mana Blocking’.]
[The abnormal status ‘Mana Block’ has been applied.]
[You cannot go beyond the restricted area for 30 minutes.]
(If you have a higher ability than the caster, the barrier can be broken.)
[The abnormal status ‘Space Shackles’ has been applied.]
[All space movements within the range are restricted for 15 minutes.]
[The abnormal status ‘Communication Interference’ has been applied.]
[All group chats, including whispers, are prohibited for 15 minutes.]
Flaap- Flaap-!
The four wings alternately held Kuzgunak’sh’s body in the air. Seeing Leeha and Blaugrun rolling down the slope, Kuzgunak’sh quickly used Mana Block.
[You can’t break through space, bronze youngling! You won’t even be able to contact Bailephus helpless human! If you obediently surrender, I will give you a painless death. No, even though it was a coincidence, should I let Bailephus’ dog live in exchange for the bronze youngling’s head? Kuhuhut.]
“Damn it…”
The bronze dragon Blaugrun said that he came out after feeling the mana of the gold dragon Bailephus. It was a dragon’s ability to detect the type of mana that has entered his lair.
It was impossible for a dragon, like Kuzgunak’sh to not have known. If Kuzgunak’sh himself entered, Blaugrun would have immediately notified the metal dragons, and the current situation would not have occurred.
The red dragon would not have been able to use any human. If a normal human had crossed the barrier, he could have been immediately killed in all sorts of ways, or he could have appeared in his original form.
In other words, this incident had been an inevitable fate, from the moment Leeha was associated with the Red Mountains to find the traces of Blue Beard and destroy the chimeras of Gibrid.
‘That means that he planned this far as soon as he saw me at Radcliffe! This is so crazy- I knew I could party with NPCs, but I never thought that a dragon would turn into a human and have a party with me.’
It wasn’t like Leeha made any quick-witted move. He did not take any precautions. He knew about partying with an NPC through his party play with Browless, but he did not know that it was possible to be in a party with a dragon that was treated as a ‘monster’.
It was possible because it was a dragon, which was between a monster and NPC, but anyway, it was unfair.
“Teleport has been blocked, and it has become impossible to contact Bailephus-nim.”
“T-then, what should we do? If Blaugrun-nim fights with Kuzgunak’sh-“
“It’s only been 300 years since I became an adult dragon. I can’t stop Kuzgunak’sh, who is already an ancient class.”
The bronze dragon’s face turned blue. Like the abnormal message shown to Leeha, the dragon also accurately grasped the current situation. Did that mean that they would fight 1:1? The long-time enemy of the gold dragon Bailephus, whom Blaugrun called an ‘ancient’, is the red dragon Kuzgunak’sh. It was a daunting opponent for a youngling to handle.
“Huuu, huu, huu. I am sorry, Blaugrun-nim. Because of me-”
“No. Kuzgunak’sh whereabouts were unknown, but if I was more vigilant-“
“-If we could hold on for 15 minutes.”
It was true that Kuzgunak’sh was too much to handle for Blaugrun. However, that was when it was 1-on-1.
“What?”
The distorted face of the bronze dragon was filled with doubt. Even in the midst of that, his sculpted face did not change.
“That is the only way we can live.”
Leeha’s eyes flashed. Was he going to get swept away by the red dragon’s plan? He couldn’t. Of course, he had no Force Barrier. He couldn’t even use the Soul Link skill. Even the bombs were all used up. Perhaps Kuzgunak’sh thoroughly tried to make Leeha use up all of his skills ever since the battle against the chimera.
Click-!
“I won’t obediently die just like that.”
Nevertheless, Leeha decided to resist. Against one of the worst dragons ever on Middle Earth.
[Won’t you come out, bronze youngling, and human! Will you choose pain-filled resistance instead of a painless death?]
Flap- Flaaap-!
Kuzgunak’sh looked at the bushes where Leeha and Blaugrun hid. His attitude could be seen as the leisure of the winner.
[Okay. I will not give you a second chance, blame your lingering feelings and die.]
Heuuuuuuup-!
Kuzgunak’sh began to breathe again. And Leeha, who was behind the bushes, watched the scene. Through ‘Mana Clairvoyance’. An extremely large amount of mana whirlwind formed in front of the Red Dragon’s face, even a breath wasn’t invincible, it also had a weakness.
‘Just like now, Mana Freeze!’
A black rod poked between the bushes. The dragon’s movement was restricted until the breath was gathered and released. How much bigger was Kuzgunak’sh’s body than the gold dragon Bailephus’s? It meant that for the current Leeha, he could hit him even with his eyes closed!
Baaaaaang———!
A bullet that flew faster than the gunshot pierced the Red Dragon’s shield and pierced his scales.
[Kaaaaaaa——……! My dragon scale-]
The Red Dragon, who was about to release its breath, screamed.
All of the mana whirlwind gathered in front of its face disappeared. It was not dispelled. No, rather, it could be said that it was the most primitive dispel.
The dragon’s breath required concentration; if that was the case, he could shoot to prevent him from concentrating!
“Kuzgunak’sh screamed……?”
“Try it, quickly!”
“What?”
The bronze dragon looked at Leeha and shook his head. What was this human? Is he really human? He could feel Bailephus’ mana, but did he use the mana of the ‘ancient’ dragon to attack? Besides, what can I try? As countless thoughts passed through the bronze dragon’s head, Leeha was eager. Leeha’s bullets were not ordinary. Hopefully, it will be eaten by the Red Dragon too!
[To pierce the dragon scale, aren’t you a golden bastard! You won’t be able to die in peace! Flame Strike]
Kuzgunak’sh, who managed to keep his balance in mid-air by flapping his wings, chanted a spell.
However, nothing happened. The only sound that could be heard in this space was the friction of the bolt being pulled once more, and the cheering voice of Leeha.
“Yeeeeeees! It works! Then eat this again!”
Baaaaaang-!
Another bullet hit the Red Dragon’s wings.
The Black Bass’ bullet, which dug into the seam of one of the four wings, made the Red Dragon bleed.
[Kaaaaaah-! What is this, the mana?! How can this-]
“Damn you, do you think it is a regular musket?”
Just in case.
Since it was a skill that came from a [Legendary] class weapon, it was a feeble guess that it would also be effective against a dragon. Leeha’s gamble succeeded. The Mana Freeze bullet created by the [Legendary Black Bass] had enough effect on the dragon.
The bronze dragon was as shocked as the red dragon, who was hit. How could a human dare seal a dragon’s mana?
“Even though he was careless, he is still an ancient red dragon… Kuzgunak’sh mana….”
“It’s not the time to be saying that! Q-Quickly! If it’s a dragon, it won’t last long! Any magic! Please use it! Make it rain!”
Under normal circumstances, it would take 15 minutes, but he had already experienced the inconsistency of effects depending on the target, Sage Hyein’s advanced stop magic worked on Baileipus for only 4 seconds, there was no guarantee that the Mana Freeze bullet would last long.
“Ah, if that’s the case-”
If he was human, he would still be dumbfounded, but a dragon was a dragon. Aside from the curiosity on ‘how Leeha did it’, Blaugrun clearly knew what he had to do in the immediate situation.
Blaugrun raised his staff and aimed it at Kuzgunak’sh. The magic was shot in an instant at the red giant, who still had its magic sealed.
If the red dragon had flames, what did the bronze dragon have?
“Call Lightning, Energy Wave.”
It was the lighting system. Lightning sparks fell from the sky and the electric shock wrapped around Kuzgunak’sh’s whole body!
Bzzzzzt-!
Blaugrun did not miss the moment when Kuzgunaksh’s body was paralyzed by lightning magic. Double casting was cast once again. No, it was more like a quad-casting. In fact, it was a penta-casting.
“Quadruple Lightning Bolt, Thunder.”
[Keuuuuuu-! You’re pretty good for a Bronze youngling- Kuoooot!]
Four lightning bolts the size of Leeha’s body were shot, and a cloud soaked in lightning covered Kuzgunak’sh’s body. Even after getting hit by a lightning attack, comparable to a natural disaster, Kuzgunak’sh did not die.
“This isn’t the time to say something like that!”
A black rod pointed at him, whose mouth was still moving. It was Leeha’s Black Bass.
[This guy-!]
Realizing that Black Bass’ muzzle was pointed at him, Kuzgunakh hurriedly struggled but to no avail.
“Be still, Kuzgunash. Electric Wave!”
There wasn’t much the Ancient Dragon with sealed mana could do.
He wasn’t against a physical faction but from the magic faction. Once again, the bronze dragon’s target was precisely a single place in the dragon’s body.
“Calm Mind.”
Leeha’s line of sight pointed directly at Kuzgunak’sh’s head. Click, Leeha’s finger lightly pulled the trigger.
Baaaaaang ——!
A bullet flew between the red dragon’s eyebrows. Blood, redder than his red body, gushed out like a fountain from his forehead.
Kuzgunak’s wings stopped flapping his giant body fell to the ground. Could it be that he could no longer fly?
Keuuung…….
Red dust rose from a spot not far from Leeha and Blaugrun.
