Genius Corpse-Collecting Warrior - Chapter 205
205 Dragon
Cave (3)
Thousands of pairs of eye lights surrounding a wide cavity. Ten thousand fireworks flashing in front of it.
The trajectory that started from the muzzle flame runs through the darkness at a speed several times faster than sound.
In the split second before the copper-colored bullet reached the edge of the firing line, Dallon drew his sword.
Ki-ing!
The leading bullet bounces off. A flash of light that instantly illuminates the surroundings.
As my sense of time stretched to the limit, I could see a barrage of bullets filling my field of vision.
Are they giving up on precise sniping a long time ago and trying to level the entire area with a rain of bullets?
A transcendent being is not a being who has cast off the body. In some cases, there were transcendents whose physical durability itself was not that great.
It would be difficult for such people to easily overcome such a sudden barrage of bullets.
Of course not now.
Boom –
one step forward. Lay the sword surface wide and form a horizontal line with your shoulder.
There was no need to parry every bullet. All they had to do was sweep away the barrage targeting Dallan and the group behind him.
At Dallen’s fingertips, Tyrving, a treasured sword with a jewel-like sword body, scatters colorful light.
Gakkagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagaga!
The moment the sword blade spread out dozens of blades, thousands of bullets shattered and a curtain of light spread in the middle of the cavity.
[…!]
The darkness stirred. To be exact, the dwarves who were pointing guns from behind the darkness did that.
The number of dwarves surrounding the three sides of the cavity was at least a thousand.
Each person is holding a variety of firearms that seem to have been made by hand and are aiming in this direction.
The crowned dwarf who appeared to be their leader had a slightly distorted face covered in messy beards.
I didn’t feel embarrassed. It was just an expression that seemed to make things a little more bothersome.
It is clear that his original abilities did not go beyond the 5th level, but his experience dealing with a transcendent person like Dallan is probably proof that he is not insignificant.
[Shoot without stopping! If you can’t kill him, at least catch the wizard!]
The guy shouted. Dallen chuckled.
Ta-da-da-da-!!
Even though he witnessed before his eyes blocking thousands of bullets with a single sword, instead of being discouraged, he commanded the dwarves under him in a more proactive manner.
It’s not that I don’t understand that confidence.
Their owner, the Earth Dragon, was a true dragon comparable to the Great Devil, and must have fought many times with beings that transcended humanity.
If that period had lasted for hundreds of years, it would not be strange to mistake the master’s battles and victories for his own.
However, the arrogance that must have lasted for hundreds of years just met the wrong person today.
“Old man. “I’ll leave it to you.”
“I’m ready.”
The moment Felber wrinkled his mouth and nodded, Dallen’s new form, which had been constantly swinging his sword, disappeared.
Let’s go!
The sound of fabric being torn to pieces began to spread from one side of the siege that surrounded the cavity on three sides.
[Don’t rest and make a fire net! [Kill them!]
A large ax was suddenly placed on the forehead of the dwarf who was screaming loudly.
It was the beginning of a massacre.
***
The fight that started in the cave continued into the deeper passages of the dragon cave.
It was a clash between Dallan and his group going down into the dragon cave and the dwarves trying to stop it.
Toadadadang!
Quaaaaaaaa!
A hail of bullets passes before your eyes, a booby trap explodes, and flames fill the room.
The gold-plated wall was transformed and half melted in the heat. The ornate candlesticks and bowls, as well as the gold coins they contained, were being torn to pieces by a barrage of bullets.
[Gwaaagh!]
And the one who suffered the most from that scene was Arbor, an immortal demon trapped in subspace.
[Bo treasure! My gold and silver treasures—!]
Spurrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Dozens of chains pop out one after another from a hole in the air. Chains that select the most precious items among the treasures scattered everywhere and place them in subspace, while at the same time striking down the dwarves who are a threat to the treasures.
Every time a chain imbued with the cold of hell cuts through the air, a wall of ice builds and icicles rain down like arrows.
“Kwaaaak!”
“Take cover! “You never know where the chain will pop out!”
“There is one more orderer. Find it!”
Faced with an unexpected barrage of icicles, each dwarf used cover more thoroughly.
Of course, the cover was none other than the gold and silver treasures of the Dragon’s Cave, and it was natural that the devil’s hand in subspace became more cruel.
[How dare you take my treasure—!]
Kwazizijijik!
The floor freezes, impeding movement, and huge icicles freeze and fall from the ceiling, disrupting the dwarves’ formation.
Meanwhile, dark red magic overflowed and finished off the dwarf who had survived being hit by an ice storm.
‘The purified water definitely worked.’
Dallen thought as he crossed the room littered with treasure and dwarf corpses.
There were dozens of demons in Sun’s army. There were also dozens of essence fragments obtained by defeating them.
Lucia, who became a high-ranking knight, took out a few of them that Arbor liked under the pretext of purifying them locally.
The result is the sight right in front of your eyes.
While he quickly defeated the dwarves who blocked Dallen’s path, he swept all seemingly valuable items into subspace.
“Bring some guns, too. Bjorn will like it.”
[I understand, master!]
Leaving behind the devil’s strong reply, the dwarves open the door they were desperately guarding.
Wow….
Behind the door was a spacious hall.
There is a high platform carved out of stone in the center, and around it are guarded by up to a hundred dwarves and golems made of metal.
On the platform, a dwarf wearing a crown sat on a gilded throne and pointed with his finger in this direction.
It looked exactly like the dwarf I saw in the cave earlier.
[Kill that guy!]
Boom!
The dwarf king barely managed to block the axe by raising a shield as big as his upper body.
It was a much better response than before, but Dallen walked towards the guy without much emotion.
「Red grouse」
「Snow grouse」
Cugwagwagwa…!!
Now, the order flows out as naturally as breathing.
A pillar of fire blocks the entrance, bending like a whip and wiping out all the dwarves raising their guns.
Blue electricity surges like a wave along the blackened floor, ruthlessly tearing apart the bodies of the golems that survived the flames.
Chrrrrrrrrrr!
The few remaining dwarves and one half-destroyed golem were caught in a chain that appeared in the air and were frozen alive.
After taking out the guards without difficulty, Dallon climbed up the steps of the platform and stretched out his hand to the dwarf wearing a crown.
[This profit!]
The guy swung the relic shield with an ax on it, but he naturally snatched the shield and threw it away, then grabbed his head.
There was no need to stain the weapon with blood. All you had to do was apply a little strength to your fingers.
[I dare say the bloodline of the dwarven dynasty, Belagor… Wow!]
Clap!
The dwarf’s head is crushed like a watermelon in a bear-like grip. What was flowing out from there was not blood or brain fluid, but teeth and lubricating fluid.
“Rotten. “It’s fake again.”
Dallen said, wiping the oil splattered on his face. From the beginning until now, there have been five fake dwarf kings crushed by his hands.
Outwardly, they look the same as other dwarves. Even breathing and heartbeat were almost completely identical.
The spell in the dragon cave is confusing the senses, so much so that even Dallon has no way of knowing until he catches it himself.
And there was only one reason to open the head cover by holding on to the visible foot.
To lure out the owner of this dragon cave.
‘To a true dragon, the dragon’s cave is similar to the devil’s hell. A place where one’s true body resides and at the same time attracts numerous followers and develops strength.’
The difference was that the true dragon’s cave was a special place that did not exist in hell.
Daegongdong, located in the deepest part of Yonggul. This is the place where dragons lie down for hundreds or thousands of years from the time they become adults.
‘The Great Hollow is the place where the power of the dragon, the owner of the Dragon Cave, is maximized… Fighting there should still be avoided.’
The Earth Dragon is a true dragon comparable to the Great Devil. Among the true dragons under the Dragon God, it is one of the few beings of a similar rank to the Red Spear.
At the entrance to the dragon cave, I was able to defeat one of its incarnations in an instant, but that was only possible because it was the incarnation of a dragon.
Unlike demons, dragons do not contain such enormous power in their incarnations.
Unlike demons, whose most efficient way to descend to the earth is incarnation, dragons are beings that have originally resided on this continent.
Is there any reason to distribute that much power to each incarnate body when I can drag the true body out whenever I want?
In any case, it was true that the Earth Dragon’s true body was powerful enough to be counted among the great demons, and its power was sure to become twice as strong as usual in the Great Hollow.
[Gwon Gap is a dragon who reached the 6th rank a long time ago. Thousands of years have passed since I attained the status of a demigod. It is true that the potential of your vast domain is not limited by hierarchy, but… there is no need to match the bastard’s brilliance.]
“That’s why you’re looking for the dwarf king like this. “Because they said that if we find him and kill him, the angry terrestrial dragon will abandon the cave and run out.”
[…It did. However, I did not know that the defense would be so thorough.]
Jeokchang answered in a slightly tired voice.
A full day has passed since I came back from the dragon cave.
Even though Dallen was wandering around the vast dragon cave, the terrestrial dragon was in no hurry to come out of the cave.
Did you feel anything about the clash at the entrance to the dragon cave?
If you were dealing with a transcendental who was close to the 6th rank and an archmage who controlled the timeline, you might have thought that no matter how old the ancient dragon was, you had to be fully prepared.
And Jeokchang told me how to lure him out of Daegongdong.
The method is to catch and kill the king of the pet dwarves he is raising.
It is said that the terrestrial dragon captures and raises over ten thousand dwarves to enjoy the feeling of being worshiped.
Jeokchang said that he especially pours a lot of affection on the individual he has made as king, and when that individual dies, he becomes indiscriminately sad and angry.
The reason why such a large number of piles were created was to prevent dwarves from being killed by unexpected intruders.
[There are traces of the Sandwind Dynasty left. It is clear that it is part of the technology they passed on during the friendly cooperation relationship.]
“There is no need to do this, so you can just grow it in your own large cavity, right? “Even if it were a big intruder, there would be no way he would go in there.”
[They said that’s not possible. It is said that kings and gods cannot sit in the same place. Because the Earth Dragon was a person who was particularly obsessed with God.]
There are all kinds of crazy dragons out there. Dallen scratched his chin without answering.
Many of the transcendental ones have a screw missing somewhere, but I’d guess this applies to dragons as well.
[Once again, not all dragons are like this. Gwon Gap’s eccentricities have been talked about for a long time even among dragons.]
“…I see.”
[It looks like you don’t believe it. look at me What a normal Jinryong.]
“…….”
“Dallen! I found the real thing! “Come this way!”
At that time, Felber’s voice was heard from far away. Dallen stood up.
It was time to go see the face of the guy who had made me wander in this maze-like dragon cave for over half a day.
