Chapter 163 Yggdrasil, Green Wave, Dragon of Death 3
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
About 30 minutes before the dragon of death, Nidhogg, spreads its wings under the shadow of Yggdrasil… … .
Hyun-wook Lee and his party arrive near Lake Chad and face a huge barrier.
A translucent water dome that covers the entire western pier of Lake Chad, Lee Hyun-wook puts his hand there.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Water flowed across the surface of the dome from bottom to top, pressing the hand tightly.
"… … Did Uncle Harris do this? And there must be a Spirit King there, right?"
As Park Jun-mo said, Donald Harris seemed to have set up a barrier to hide the Spirit King's presence.
"I think something is troubling, but maybe one of the two died and the tornado subsided..."
Lee Hyun-wook shook his head at Kim Se-hee's concerns.
"No way. The Spirit King and the manager of the World Tree, one cannot lose so easily."
If this is a battle that can be won by anyone, the Cold War relationship we have today will not last long.
However, it seems like the two giants are facing each other there, but the atmosphere is not good.
After a while, a small door opened on the surface of the water barrier, and something entered it ... ...
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
"Onew, all water! "
For some reason, there is a sea of water everywhere, but Lake Chad overflowed and the water overflowed outdoors.
I can see Donald Harris perched at the root of Yggdrasil rising from one side.
He glanced somewhere, and saw a tower made of water on the shores of Lake Chad.
On it, two spirits were standing and talking. That might be the daughter of the Spirit King.
And that's where Fridwen landed nearby, and Jack and Hannah were perched on the doorway.
Both of them looked astonished. What happened in the last half day still makes no sense.
"At first glance, I heard you saved the girl ... Is that real? "
"Yes, the elves kidnapped your daughter with the aim of utilizing Elemental King."
With those words, Donald Harris held his forehead as if in pain.
"Ha, I'm going crazy, it's ridiculous that they have entered this city ... "
It was Donald Harris who predicted the invasion of the Dark Elves by running his own spy network. However, he was surprised because he could not collect all information from all parties.
'Even in my own house, I almost got hit, so the pain will get deeper. '
If it wasn't for Lee Hyun-wook, I would have been hit once again this time ... ... Knowing that fact too, the eye that looked at Lee Hyun-wook became softer. Now there seems to be a clear belief in it.
But even so, Lee Hyun-wook's appearance was unrealistic, so he asked.
"But how can you realize it and stop it like this? "
"This time ... I'm lucky. I found them. "
Coincidentally, Donald Harris snorted at the nonsense. But there was no time to dig anymore, because the water tower ridden by the Spirit King and Jane was approaching this direction.
"Hey, this is the head of the unlucky thief. "
" ... Harris, haven't you talked to the Spirit King? "
The story told by Lee Hyun-wook is to entrust Yggdrasil's defense to the Spirit King.
"Like, we just made sure we were not enemies, but we haven't talked about anything like that ... "
For him, speaking directly to the spirit king seemed to hurt his pride.
"Mr. Harris, then, may I speak with the Spirit King? "
"Yes, that's what I was hoping for. I don't want to talk to him yet. "
Hyun-wook Lee moved forward, the water tower disappeared completely, and the spirit king walked on his own feet.
The first thing that caught my attention was platinum, long hair filled with brilliant light.
At first glance, a handsome man filled with 'class ' different from humans, King Jung-ryeong stood tall in front of Hyun-wook Lee.
" ... ... I couldn't say hello before because I was too busy, but thank you for saving me. "
First, Jane took a step forward and spoke, then the Spirit King opened his mouth.
"Thank you for saving my daughter. And I definitely want to return this favor ... "
Yes, it is the logic of the game to give a reasonable gift for this kind of gift.
Lee Hyun-wook nodded his head and thought of immediately realizing what he wanted without hesitation.
"As you might know, the perpetrators behind this are elves. They are preparing to attack this place properly. They will devour the entire ecosystem of this god tree ... and include elemental nature. "
A glimpse of anger crossed the eyes of the spirit king who listened to Lee Hyun-wook's words. Those who threaten their homeland and humble themselves will return. In other words, there is no need to negotiate at this time.
"I think so too. And that fight, I'd be happy if we could help. "
Without asking for something like this, maybe thanks to the criminals, an alliance with the Spirit King has been made.
"If you do, I would appreciate it. But we must not only defend ourselves. The enemy is bigger than we thought, and they will not give up with just one or two attacks, and they will get more and more attacks. " more cruel. "
Hyun-wook Lee turned and looked at Donald Harris.
"So we thought ... we would attack their headquarters first."
"Um ... if it's the main headquarters of the dark elves, the big forests on the northern continent, right? "
Hearing that, Lee Hyun-wook nodded and stepped closer to him.
"Yes, I want you to borrow me 'Great Flood ' which can eliminate the area in one go. "
There was a moment of silence hearing Lee Hyun-wook's words. Only the sound of the waves is heard.
It was Donald Harris who saw from a distance, who broke the silence.
"Um, Daehong-what? What does it mean? "
As an S-class spirit wizard, information about spirits he doesn't know comes out, so he can't help but wonder ...
On the other hand, the King of Spirits and Jane, who knew what it was, could not hide their surprised expressions.
"Flood, lend me the best and worst technology that can be used by water spirits. "
Flooding, a disaster technology that actually uses large amounts of water, is the greatest art of water spirits that can only be created when the Spirit King of Water leads a large number of water spirits and works together.
'At that time, the defensive line built by the Allied Humanities really collapsed, and the war was defeated. '
In his previous life, the Black Elementalist took over the Spirit of Lake Chad and forced them to use their expertise. The aim is the entire line of prevention of the Allied Forces established in Israel and Palestine. Waves coming from the Mediterranean Sea like mountains, witnessed by Lee Hyun-wook while fleeing the battlefield in Jerusalem.
' ... That was the moment when Inferno won by burning the green wave of Floss Louver. '
The Inferno Fire, which silenced the green waves that breed endlessly, was immediately swallowed by the actual waves.
In the attack, most of the Allied Forces of Humanity were buried, and the last line of prevention of humanity was violated.
'This time, I will give them a big disaster in return. '
However, after Lee Hyun-wook called 'Great Flood ', I felt King Jung-ryeong's expression harden.
"Hmm ... I'm curious how you do find out what it is ... "
They have the same enemy, but their vigilance has not subsided.
'But it's definitely embarrassing to mention the secret weapons they have ... ... '
In this case, the most suitable as a reasonable reason is the transcendent object, Laputa.
Not because they do background checks with average numbers, but because they have absolute power.
"Laputa, I have a legacy of gnomes, and there are various sources of information in them. "
This is a metaphor at the same time that you are not an enemy, but you can be a strong helper.
"Well, it's indeed dwarves, they are complicated and smart people. ...."
I don't know how the arrangements of these worthy monsters are interrelated, but at least it works.
"But ... I must say that the conditions for using it ... are rather difficult at the moment. "
However, the king of spirits immediately expressed his displeasure. This is not a rejection, it seems like there is a big problem ... ... as if he already knew, Lee Hyun-wook smiled and nodded his head.
"Um, maybe, Spirit King... is there a problem with mana management? "
Hearing Lee Hyun-wook's question, King Jung-ryeong's expression became increasingly hardened.
If the information 'The Great Flood ' previously was just a leak of state military secrets,
"Mana management problem " is equivalent to a serious health problem for the head of state.
" ... ... Could such information also be obtained from Laputa? "
"If that's true, I can also help him. "
Like the dragon king in the rabbit story, the king of spirits does not suffer from any incurable disease.
And finding a panacea to cure disease is a core scenario of 'Spirit King Quest'.
"But this problem ... even if you boil the whole tree, it will be difficult to solve. "
Donald Harris's eyebrows twitched at the words.
"What? The f, what do you mean by boil now? "
"Hmm, this is just a joke ... "
"Damn, even though it's just a joke, it's currently in front of anyone "
Hyun-wook Lee cuts Donald Harris and offers a completely different alternative.
"Come on, what about 'Dragon Heart'?"
What surprised me the most was Jane, screaming and grabbing my father's sleeve.
"Huh! Father, if it is a Dragon Heart ... in your core ... "
Jane was shocked and talked without me knowing, then closed her mouth.
But Lee Hyun-wook knows what he has to say next.
'Potion to cure the illness of the king of spirits, one of the ingredients is the heart of the dragon. '
Even though the tree of god has a very strong one, mana it produces is applied to the environment. Most of mana is consumed to protect mana ecosystems by giving 'blessings ' to all areas.
In contrast, Dragon Heart is a type of 'engine ' which gives a strong man to one body.
"Really, can you offer a dragon's heart? "
"I can't help it. Because I'm a Dragon Slayer. "
The spirit king's eyes widened, and Jane pulled my father's sleeve.
"Father, please ... you must not miss this opportunity. "
Come to think of it, there is a theory that one of the reasons why the daughter of the king of spirits went to the human world was to find a way to cure his father's illness. If this is also inaccurate, it seems to some extent true.
And for the Spirit King, it was an offer he could never refuse. He closed his eyes and nodded his head.
"Yes, that is good. If you give me great mana source, I'll make a big wave. "
But at that time, Donald Harris approached him with rather aggressive steps.
"Damn- I'm sorry because the story went well, but there was a big problem. "
He frowned as much as he could, and lifted the barrier that covered this place.
"When I watched this mess, I didn't know there was another thief going into the house! "
He became angry like this and looked east, downtown Yggdrasil.
" ... Yes? What was stolen? "
On Lee Hyun-wook's question, Donald Harris looked at the eastern sky and muttered a little.
"I'm crazy, so I just realized ... Sooner or later, the dragon will come out of the root prison ... "
At that moment, an explosion was heard from one side of the city, and a tall building was split and scattered.
Quah-de-de-de-one!
Everyone opened their mouths wide in front of the beautiful view and had no choice but to retreat.
The large wings of the film block the light emitted by Yggdrasil leaves and produce shadows.
"Heh one"
"Me, that..."
It was a familiar appearance covered in black scales, a black dragon.
However, creatures with levels higher than 'Aji Dahaka' that we hunted before ... ... Named 'Nidhog', he looked at Yggdrasil and smiled strangely.
What a sight that makes everyone in this city disappointed.
Even the World Tree Manager and the Spirit King are salivating.
It was an existence with a strong 'class ' that they didn't even dare to face.
"Damn, I'm really screwed ... "
Amid the frustration, only one person, Hyun-wook Lee, smiled in repentance.
"King of Spirits, if this happens ... "
He looked at the Spirit King and said.
"I think we can get the dragon's heart from the production area. "
***
Lee Hyun-wook immediately took out a large number of weapons and flew into the sky, surrounded in all directions.
As if feeling the power of his 'Dragon Killer ', Nidhogg stared intently at this place.
"Come on, when I give a signal, you two, tie the wings. Make sure you do that."
Hyunwook Lee spoke with the Spirit King and Donald Harris there through Mana Messenger.
"And team leader Kim please make contact with the saint."
– But Steel-rain, no matter how much you think about it, it's not good ... ...
This voice is Donald Harris, and he seems to have lost his temper.
– Even if I work with this person, that's all I can do to tie it for a maximum of about 30 seconds ... ... Even if you catch it like that, wouldn't there be no answer if the whole area becomes 'unique area ' during Phase 2?
That Donald Harris sounded weak, and the world could not even imagine it, but the man, Nidhogg, was the reason he left Yggdrasil and came directly to Ganghwa Island.
– ... ... The reason I asked to attack the bastard together was because he could not force himself while he was in Root Prison. If you can fly like that, you can't fight it. So I tried to overcome it before he became stronger and broke through the Root Prison, but failed.
Nidhog, who was released from the root prison and restored his strength completely, was an extraordinary force.
– Nidhogg's Death Alignment (LV:227)
... ... That's 28 levels higher than Aji Dahaka at level 227 and level 199.
However, Lee Hyun-wook also became stronger than when facing Aji Dahaka.
'And now I have three dragon killers. '
First, Lee Hyun-wook, who has achieved 'achievements ' Dragon Killer, has his own body,
Second, Mowglay that emerges from another dimension captures Aji Dahaka and becomes 'second stage ',
Third, there are even 'balmung' obtained from the hidden stage of the Dragon Labyrinth ... ...
'With all three, most dragons may feel momentum and rotate their tails. '
Dragon, this famous absolute race known from their extraordinary strength. However, the effect of 'Dragon Killer ' applied to Lee Hyun-wook's body can 'deactivate ' the dragon's power.
Edward Woods, in the distant future, said that if you build some dragon slayers and then face a dragon, a 'negotiation event' or 'compliance event' can also occur, which can grant you many things from the dragon.
' ... ... But Nidhogg has certain beliefs, so instead of negotiating, he will break through the front lines. '
And Lee Hyun-wook is well aware of what he believes, and he will aim for it.
"You bastard, you're not polite——!"
Even though the distance was more than 2 km, Nidhogg's voice felt like it was penetrating my ear.
"Why do you have such arrogant power over lowly humans? "
Hearing that voice, commoners in the city of Yggdrasil were fainting like ants.
But Lee Hyun-wook doesn't mind. That's because the dragon's killer stuck to his body.
"I will purify these blasphemers' nests — all of them— with breath —!"
At that moment, his mouth was wide open, and a beam of black light came out of his throat.
Wow-ah-ah-ah-ah–!
His breath was like a black pillar of fire, his target was the heart of downtown Yggdrasil.
qua-de-de-de-de–!
In just one breath, dozens of buildings collapsed, melting hundreds of meters of land.
' ... ... Damage like this is unfortunate, but cannot be prevented. '
Unusual black smoke began to fill the city from the point of attack.
Black dragon with the power of death, his breath is an attribute 'acid' and also an attribute 'death'.
Shortly thereafter, screams of people who could not avoid smoke began to echo throughout the city.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah–
But at some point, the scream began to turn into a frowning scream ... ...
Wow —
Lee Hyun-wook shouted and looked around the city center. Once again, undead is rampant everywhere.
Little by little little by little
And among them, not only humans, but also monsters like Orcs and trolls are mixed.
After the attack on the gate that occurred in this area, it looks like there are corpses that are being demolished in the city center.
"My servant has risen from the land that I have cleared, and they will plunder your comfort zone. "
Hung ——
With one flutter of his wings, he narrowed hundreds of meters, and his body quickly became large and clear.
An extraordinary sense of intimidation, as if standing on a railroad track and facing a large locomotive ... ...
However, Lee Hyun-wook did not avoid it, but flew straight ahead, as if shot at him.
'Right now, I have a total of 3 duplicated Dragon Slayers. '
2+1+1 is not necessarily 4, but at least more than 2.
blah-bang –
The muzzle of the man approaching me was wide open, and the black throat filled Lee Hyun-wook's view.
'No matter how big a dragon is, if you focus on it without feeling intimidated ... ... it can be avoided. '
Hyeonwook Lee closed his eyes and made aerobatic flights by maximizing sensory improvement through the flight.
He almost escaped from the front claws and his large teeth, and swung the giant sword at the back of his neck.
Uh-
Just like the key called the Dragon Killer to unlock the power of the dragon, the dark barrier is ignored.
Therefore... ...
Bang ——!
The tip of the giant sword cuts the scales as smooth as silk, and causes long scars on its beautiful body.
「Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-! Come on, challenge — in my domain—"
He turned his body and began firing all kinds of magic here and there, and dozens of magic circles appeared around Lee Hyun-wook and turned, and all kinds of indistinguishable magic came out from there.
Feathers —duri—duri—duri—bong——!
"门!"
Like a little bird flying in the night sky that exploded with firecrackers in sequence, Lee Hyun-wook turned his body without thinking.
'Again, this extraordinary firepower must be extinguished somehow. '
After avoiding the tantrums of magic, he attacks an unfinished magic circle with Mowglay.
Then the magic circle starts to falter, and the magic opens, right?
'After all, he is helpless! '
Thus, the power of the Dragon Slayer lies in the ability of the dragon itself to 'be deactivated '.
Lee Hyun-wook manipulates 'Balmung' and penetrates the magic circle that blooms in the area.
Then, the number of spells that Nidhogg managed to use dropped to less than half.
"It makes no sense for ordinary people to touch the noble magic of a dragon—!"
Lee Hyun-wook drifted into the air and ascended into the sky further from Nidhogg, and threw away Mowglay.
That goal is the most important way to catch Nidhogg's winged flying monsters.
"Who, dare —!"
To avoid Mowglay's romp, Nidhogg descended vertically and turned his body.
Then, he folded his wings, faced Mowglay directly, and chanted a spell to intercept.
' ... ... This is an unstable posture just to maintain the wings. '
And he was only wary of 'Dragon Slayer'. In other words, the gap is clearly visible.
"One now!"
At that time — two whirlwinds were created in the sky, and Nidhogg was hit. As the S Koshiro Kodo class wind controller did, the wind made the dragon fall to the ground.
Qaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
"Do you think you can drop my guard body to the ground like this? "
But the power of the tornado is not as strong as Kodo Koshi, and Nidhogg is stronger than Aji Dahaka.
"So, I prepared another one. "
At that moment, the land in downtown Yggdrasil shook, collapsed everywhere and water broke. With the power of the king of spirits, he pulled all the ground water and fired a pillar of water to tie his wings.
Kwa-Ian——!
Thus, the first step in attacking a dragon called the first step succeeded in dropping it to the ground.
– Done! Steel-rain, only about thirty seconds! Come on, stop that bastard!
However ...
「Khahaha: Yes, I will praise you for dropping this body! So can you kill me? "
But strangely, even though Nidhogg was lying on the ground, he was too calm.
"Come here, ordinary people covered in blood — can you hurt this body? "
On the contrary, isn't that a provocation with an unknown intention, as if to attract his attention?
No matter how big a dragon is, is he not on the lookout for the fallen Dragon Killer?
'The reason is that the dragon that controls death is sure that the dragon will never die. '
– Steel-rain, what are you doing? Did you know that now is the only golden opportunity?
Donald Harris's sad voice echoed in his ear.
However, Lee Hyun-wook had no intention of taking advantage of the golden opportunity.
At that moment, Kim Se-hee's voice was heard in his ear, a real opportunity signal.
– I'm with Mrs. Chik-chi, boss!
As soon as Lee Hyun-wook heard the sound, he turned and began to fly somewhere.
"...Hah?"
Even Nidhogg could not hide his confusion seeing the scene. Then he grinned.
"He turned out to be a very smart man, even now he chose to run away — hahaha!"
"Yes, I'll try to run away, so catch me if you can. "
Lee Hyun-wook muttered like that, and went to the door of Friedwen's lamp, which flew in front of him.
Inside are Kim Se-hee and Park Jun-mo, as well as Emilia Muller and Peter Clarke.
" ... Life Vessel Lich needs to be cleaned up? Is that real? "
Emilia Muller approached and asked the question with an expression of not understanding.
Lich means a mage who handles death. And one of the special characteristics of humans is that they must destroy the 'Container of Life ', a container that contains the power of their lives, before they die.
"Yes that's right. "
" ... ... Where is Richie?"
"It exists."
What Hyunwook Lee appointed was none other than the Black Dragon, Nidhogg.
Come to think of it, its existence radiates a strong death.
"Ah ... Then what about Life Vessel? "
"I'll go look for it now. Come on Maru, get ready to close the hole immediately! "
"Yes, I'm waiting! "
"I'm leaving now, through a hole in the ground where he came out, and into the Root Prison! "
When Friedwen entered a hole in the ground, Nidhogg flew away.
