Genius Corpse-Collecting Warrior - Chapter 204

Yonggul (2)
The reaction was immediate.
[───!]
As the strange words rumbled through the bottom of the pit, the two people’s bodies began to twist mercilessly.
Squeaky!
The generous robe is torn to shreds, revealing the sparkling reptile scales underneath.
The condensed body regains its size in an instant. An explosive physique transformation that cannot be explained by the laws of physics.
[Private mortals!]
[How dare the master’s incarnation…!]
Two dragons with dark brown and black scales roared and rose up. Both are well over ten meters in length.
When the wings were spread wide, the entrance to the ruins was completely obscured.
Of course, Dallen’s ax was already back in his hand.
Hissing—
a cutting sound that breaks through the roar. There was no big noise.
[Kyaaaak…!]
Boom!
But the results were quite uproarious. A dark brown, filmy wing about four meters wide had fallen to the ground.
“Tsk.”
Dallen clicked his tongue briefly. I aimed for the head, but the wings were cut off instead.
It’s not that the guy was moving too fast, but that the weight of the hatchet was so different from before.
‘I like the heavy feel of the hand… but I still need to get used to it.’
Dallen remembered the hand that had thrown the axe. No matter how he was, it was difficult to swing an ax that was about a hundred times heavier like he always used it.
Of course, the fact that such restoration is possible is itself proof of how relaxed the current battle is.
[…!]
Naturally, from the two subdragons’ point of view, their lives were at stake.
[───!]
[─! ──!]
Yongeon tears the air. Magical power undulated like waves.
The bottom of the pit rises, golems several meters tall rise, and thick breath like lava pours out, filling the field of vision.
[Ttaarea! Let’s tie the guy’s feet with the golem and run away!]
[I’ll block him with my breath! Even if you can’t do it, you can extract more than ten energy!]
There was no more arrogance left in the eyes of the two subdragons.
There was only a desperate will to survive in this place.
With one ax throw, the master’s incarnate body was crushed without any time to transform into its true form.
I wondered if it was the power of some kind of relic weapon, but with repeated light ax strikes, my wings were cut off like reeds.
The man in front of me was no ordinary human being. The moment they realized that, the two dragons had only one choice.
Pouring out the most powerful spells and breath, evacuating to the depths of the dragon’s cave where the owner is.
With dragon’s breath that was comparable to the lava rising from a deep ley line and rock golems that were hotter than ten, it would have been possible to buy a little time.
[Eleven…twelve! Get behind Ttarea!]
And the moment I thought that decision was right.
「Ice Crystal: Opening Flower」
「Soryuji」
The breath that covered the pit like a fan was swallowed up by the cold air extending in dozens of directions.
[What…!]
The muzzle begins to freeze while it is screaming. The black scale dragon hurriedly took a step back.
To be exact, I tried to back away. But my feet didn’t leave the ground.
「Baekhyanggeun(百向根)」
Hundreds of ice roots suddenly covered the ground, freezing your legs and nailing them to the ground.
[Ttarea!]
A dark brown subdragon with clipped wings called out to its companion. No answer came back.
This was because the black dragon’s entire body had already turned into a piece of ice due to the cold storm that had swallowed up the ice crystal roots that had tied its legs and the dragon’s breath.
Kwajangchang!
Dallen hit the piece with his shoulder. Sharp chunks of ice shattering and flying in all directions.
Frozen dragon flesh and blood were sprinkled all over his body, but he didn’t care.
At one time, it was a sub-dragon that could only be defeated in a close fight even while holding a holy sword.
However, now it is just a prey that can be easily dealt with without taking out the broken holy sword.
The result of growth achieved at a rate so rapid that even one could not believe it. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t happy about this achievement achieved through fights that risked my life.
Therefore, by using this sense of accomplishment as fertilizer, we harvest the motivation to go one step further.
The motivation of hope that even the apocalypse that seemed so distant and unstoppable can soon be torn apart with both hands.
[Tie that guy’s feet! Even if you throw your body to stop it!]
Ah-ryong shouted in a frightened voice. At that command, as many as fifteen golems rushed.
Dallen pulled out the sword from his waist without answering. It was not a broken holy sword strapped to the back of his waist, but a sword drawn from a crudely decorated scabbard.
Giiing….
A treasured sword that lets out a strange cry as soon as it is freed from its scabbard.
The elaborately crafted jewel-like sword body reflects the light of the spell on the bottom of the pit in all directions.
[The clast sword Tyrving…!]
Ah-ryong mutters in a panicked voice.
The compensation received for completing the Tsar’s requests was not limited to gold coins and jewels.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the warehouses of the huge country that dominated the northern part of the continent were overflowing with rotting gold coins.
The core of the compensation Dallen requested was the relic weapons that were lying dormant in the royal treasury.
Originally, he had requested a relic ax and a scabbard, but after negotiating with Sun’s incarnation, he requested this treasured sword as additional compensation.
Rumbling!
The golem rushes in, making a sound like a rolling rock. Dallon swung his sword lightly.
A sword strike that, unlike usual, did not even take a proper stance, as if testing the sword’s abilities.
Float!
The golem weighing tens of tons, rushing at the speed of a galloping horse, was thrown back by one such sword strike and crashed into the wall of the pit.
Quarrrrrrr…!
Due to the tremendous impact, the pit shakes and rocks and sandy soil rain down on their heads.
“It’s okay.”
It was definitely an amazing feeling to hold and wield legendary equipment that I had only seen through the monitor.
The Holy Sword Tortanis was something I had never used before, so I didn’t really feel it, but the Cluster Sword was equipment that I tried to obtain every time I came into contact with the Tsardom in the game.
As it was a treasured sword that had been used as final equipment several times, it was a worthy reward for fighting with an evil spirit.
‘It’s a deceptive weapon that reflects the impact of the sword.’
The downside is that the durability of the sword is quickly depleted every time you use the ability and it is limited to pure physical power, but it wasn’t a bad thing nonetheless.
In order to solve the slight incontinence in the sword body, a matching sword sheath was brought out from the royal treasury.
Jerk.
Dallen slowly released his wrists and walked towards the remaining golems.
It didn’t take long to wipe out the fourteen golems and cut off the dragon’s head.
***
It was some time later that Felber, Tommy, and Volkmar came down.
Felber looked around the bottom of the pit, which had become a mess in a moment, and nodded when he saw the corpse of the dragon lying in front of Dallon with its head cut off.
“Was it a subdragon?”
“Two subdragons. One incarnation of the terrestrial dragon. “I came out to meet you and said hello.”
“greeting……?”
Volkmar tilted his head with a blank expression. Of course, no one cared.
“Did you finish the top part well?”
“I missed a few, but I caught most of them. “Seeing as they had this much force on standby below, I guess they were planning to attack them from the front and back and annihilate them.”
“It looks like the terrestrial dragon is very angry.”
“I woke you up from a sweet sleep, so wouldn’t it be worth it?”
Felber said so and used a spell to wash away the blood stains on his clothes.
Dallen looked at it blankly and roughly wiped his blood-covered face with his hand.
Although he now had some knowledge of spells, the way of thinking of wizards who only used spells to clean their faces was something he could not understand.
After extracting the dragon’s heart and placing it in subspace, the four entered the entrance of the half-collapsed ruins.
At the entrance, a long passage continued for a while. Even though they were deep in the ground, a gentle heat melted into the air of the ruins and welcomed them.
“You received an elixir from the Tsardom as compensation. What do you think when you try it?”
“It was very good. “Every time I work with a timeline, the load on my body becomes much lighter.”
“Thank goodness.”
“What about you? “Didn’t you receive a lot of swords, scabbards, and other things?”
“I think the ax will take some getting used to, but the sword and scabbard are definitely usable. “I like the combination of the two.”
Sreung…
Dallon pulled out his sword halfway. All of the teeth that had chipped away while fighting the golem and the subdragon had been restored.
This unnamed scabbard is a relic that has the function of restoring the durability of the weapon.
Unfortunately, the holy sword was not the right size. So it was still cut in half and hung on the back of my waist.
The group continued down the dark passage. There were constant forks in the road, but each time Dallen took a step forward without hesitation.
In fact, this passage was a complicated maze in itself. A place where it would not be strange to wander around for a while and fall into a trap.
If you made a wrong choice at a crossroads, you would immediately be greeted by a pit with raised spears and a burning rock.
Felber seemed to have felt that too, stroking his beard and whispering quietly.
“If you don’t mind asking this question… have you ever been here?”
“A few times.”
“Thank goodness. Because it’s a dragon cave, magic detection almost doesn’t work. “If it weren’t for you, I would have had a hard time.”
Dallen nodded. Dallen’s senses were also quite limited upon entering the dragon cave.
Hoebaekjeon, which I had been using so usefully, didn’t work either.
The steps I was taking now were based solely on memory.
“Don’t relax. Out of all those times, there was never a time when the incarnation of the Earth Dragon came out to meet me kindly. And since I came here to steal treasure, I never went that deep.”
Every time Dallen attacked the underground dragon’s cave from beyond the monitor, it was in the case that he was targeting the treasure piled up at the entrance to the dragon’s cave.
In the first place, there weren’t many episodes where he was strong enough to face Jinryong head-on. The number of characters capable of defeating the Earth Dragon, known as the Dragon God’s right gauntlet, could be counted on one hand.
And for a character who had become that strong, it was bound to be hectic just dealing with all the incidents that occurred all over the continent.
This time, I was surprisingly lucky and found the entrance to the dragon cave right in front of me.
“I can see the end over there.”
Dallon said.
The narrow passageway had suddenly become wide like a city street. Blocking the end was a gate that looked like the gate of a decent city.
The gate begins to open on its own as the party approaches.
It was pitch black inside, even darker than the passage they had passed through, but according to Dallen’s memory, it was a large empty cavity.
‘It was a place that served as a kind of shelter in the game.’
Behind the wide open space, there was a complex series of monsters’ nests and rooms full of treasures.
That’s where Dallon’s memories reached.
The group slowly entered the cavity.
Kuung-.
And immediately the door closed.
“…hmm?”
what? The door was never closed in the game.
The moment I had a question, something tore through the air and flew out.
Taaaang!
The gunshot that follows.
Dallen instinctively opened the hand he had swung.
In the darkness brought down by the Dragon’s Cave’s spell. The object in his palm faintly reflected the magical light flowing from Dallen’s eyes.
“Is it a bullet? But the shape…”
Felber said. Dallen frowned.
The bullet was a bullet, but it looked quite familiar.
A shape I haven’t seen since falling to this continent. Instead of a round ball-shaped lead bullet, it is a streamlined copper-colored bullet with a sharp tip.
At the same time, scenes from my military service days, long since buried in the back of my memory, are passing by.
[Align your aiming line! Prepare to fire a salvo!]
The dwarf’s distinctive deep voice rang through the cavity, and thousands of pairs of eyes flashed across the pitch-black darkness, spewing out magic light.
“…Holy shit.”
The dwarf shouted.
[Fire all troops!]
