Genius Corpse-Collecting Warrior - Chapter 207
207
In the words of a traitor (2)
Boom….
A dull echo echoed in the quiet underground cavity.
Kurr….
A noise that anyone living in a mountainous area would say is a harbinger of a landslide.
In the first place, the word landslide did not fit this underground world without a single ray of sunlight, but it was definitely the sound of something breaking and collapsing.
And soon.
Coo coo coo coo…!
The moss forest that covered the cavity came down, and something elongated rose up from the fragmented and collapsing ground.
[Kaaaa!!]
What came up through the floor of the cavity was the shape of a huge centipede.
An elongated fuselage hundreds of meters long. Dozens of legs lined up at every node.
The huge body, flapping its four pairs of wings and hurriedly flying up to the ceiling of the cave, was covered in countless torn and raw wounds.
[―――――!]
The earth dragon that rose to just below the ceiling let out a long roar.
The moment he uttered the words, the magic power of the huge cavity surged, and soon turned into a murderous spell, targeting the ground beneath which he had just jumped out.
Hundreds of magic cannons heating up the air. Huge boulders falling as if thrown by a giant.
The ferns in the mossy forest reveal their hidden teeth, and the underground creatures that live in the forest pour out primitive magic with rolled-up eyes.
━━━━━━━━━━
However, the heat rays extending from beneath the collapsing ground erased all those projections at once.
Transmission and permeability…!
Dark red flames burn the forest. A searing heat instantly filled the long cavity.
The moisture that had formed on the walls and ceiling of the cavity was blown away, and even the hard rocks were melting away.
A dark red dragon soared between the pouring dirt and rocks. And without a blink of an eye, it bit off the terrestrial dragon’s body.
[―――――!!]
The elongated dragon screams. The desperate will soon becomes a spell and swirls around.
It was chaos, with magic crystals exploding everywhere, the shape of the cavity itself distorted, and thrown bedrock flying around.
In fact, it was an environmental change that was no different from hell under the earth. A catastrophe that would make it impossible for any normal life to survive and escape.
“What the fuck.”
Feeling a bit motion sick, Dalen cursed and jumped into the air in the middle of it all.
Tuung –
A new type of drawing a series of crosses in the air. Quickly approach the place where the two dragons are entangled, avoiding the threatening vortex of magical power and the flying rocks.
[Kaaaaaaak!]
Even at that moment, the terrestrial dragon’s scream resounds throughout the cavity. Dallen widened his eyes and chased after the new model.
[The body of the owner of the Dragon Bone Sword has been found.]
A notification window can be seen clearly between the falling rocks and the waterfall of dirt.
The body below him had been covered with countless new wounds in just a few minutes.
On the other hand, Red Spear’s scales are not much different from the first, with only a few scratches.
[Red Chang…What happened?! I’m sure it wasn’t this strong before!]
[There’s also an abundance of bullshit. You collapsed in front of the White Sword and the Dragon God’s combined attack, but your humble fist was lucky enough to land at the end.]
Wood-duk!
With a sneer, one wing is crushed and falls off.
Perhaps because it had already been crushed several times, the regeneration speed of its wings became even slower.
This was proof that even among the closest associates of the Dragon God, who could be counted on one hand, their ranks were clearly divided in terms of combat power.
The problem is that this one-sided offensive will not last forever.
‘Jeokchang has not regained the strength he had when he was alive.’
Jinryong is a life based on spirit and body, which is a mystery itself.
However, the dark red dragon in front of me was a being that appeared based on Dallen’s domain.
It was like that when fighting Lightning Master Daeltarion.
Although there is no limit to the maximum instantaneous output, it is impossible to sustain that power for a long time.
This is unavoidable as it is based on an area that has not yet reached the 6th level. At least in this fight, she couldn’t do everything alone.
Sigh!
Go against the wave of magical power and ride on the back of Jeok Chang’s neck. Dallen, who held onto the scales, quickly conveyed his thoughts.
‘How much is left?’
[A few more minutes at most.]
The ancient dragon’s voice penetrated my heart.
[But don’t worry. I will drop him before that.]
As soon as he finished speaking, he opened his mouth wide and bit the terrestrial dragon.
One of the legs trembles and falls off, the hard scales are all crushed and blood pours out.
Dallen nodded, stepped on the back of Red Spear’s neck, and leapt.
After landing on the terrestrial dragon’s body, it tramples its long body and runs towards its head.
[Get away! Like a bug…]
[Shut up!]
Permeation and permeability and permeability and—!!
Red Spear’s claws, sensing Dallen’s intentions, dig in without any time to continue the battle.
With each scream and shout, thousands of spells swirl and strike the scales of the two dragons, and the raw magical power combines and falls, creating a spectacular explosion.
[Gaaaaaaah! Master!]
A scene where the magic power of the 6th rank true dragons collide head-on. In order not to be pushed away in the storm, he moves forward while securing himself with Arbor’s chains.
Even the earth dragon knew well that the red spear could not last long.
As long as it manifests itself through the human realm, it is impossible to unleash infinite power, no matter how overwhelming it is.
That’s why he’s been running away from the moment the enemy spear appeared, only avoiding fatal wounds.
‘The moment Red Spear’s power reaches its limit, it will turn around and try to bite off the back of your neck.’
Dallen also had no intention of just watching that.
It is not easy to reopen the area once you have summoned a being that goes beyond the hierarchy of Red Spear.
Using what we have collected so far, it is not difficult to bite off half of Jinryong’s neck, which clearly exposes the gap.
‘Arbor. Take out what you have prepared.’
Dallen quickly took out two items from subspace.
A thin, smooth rapier and a small bottle containing a pitch-black potion.
The former was an item inherited through the corpse ‘Paradise Buried in the Sisan Blood Sea’, which was recently recovered from Yongin, an archdemon under Sun’s command.
The other one was the ‘Elixir of Falling Stars’ recovered from the hell of Calchas a long time ago.
‘There is a hidden one-time special ability in Dark Sword Turding Palace. ‘Accepting the power of an elixir or drug as is, then amplifying it and delivering it to the person who stabbed it.’
Sigh!
Without hesitation, he opens the bottle cap and pours the contents into the sword body.
The dark sword reacts violently, emitting acrid smoke, and the thin sword body becomes dyed with an elixir-like inky color.
「Ignition (發火): Kicheonroe (起天雷)」
The sacred flame from the fingertips penetrates into the inside of the earth dragon’s scales and explodes, instantly making several of the scales rattle.
Quack!
Without delay, the sword body that was pierced into pieces shattered within the flesh, and immediately amplified the power of the elixir and transmitted it.
[Wow! What have you done!]
The inside of the wound turning pitch black and the dragon’s bewildered voice showed that the effect was effective.
‘It worked perfectly.’
Elixir of fortune.
A legendary item that elevates those who could not reach the stars to the level just below.
Even assuming that an ordinary soldier consumed it, it was possible to instantly amplify the ability up to the end of the 4th tier.
Although the time is short and the side effects are serious, there is no consumable that is more suitable for use as a last resort in an emergency situation such as war.
However, a little-known feature was that when used on a transcendent, the effect was reversed.
If a being has already reached the 5th or 6th level, the moment they consume the elixir, their abilities will temporarily drop to the 4th level.
‘The fact that I took the elixir with me when I went to hell as the Curved Sword Warrior character was an attempt to somehow attack Calchas using the elixir.’
Although at the time, it was not easy to force a high-ranking demon’s mouth to open and drink, so it failed.
In any case, a kind of disposable combination was completed by recovering the treasured sword from the corpse of the paladin.
There is no doubt about its effectiveness as it was often used to hunt demons in later episodes.
Of course, it was difficult to expect perfect efficacy if the entire body had the resistance of a mysterious dragon.
‘What do you think?’
His role now is to create an appropriate gap.
With that alone, Red Spear’s teeth were able to easily bite off the terrestrial dragon’s neck and plunge its massive body into the collapsed ground.
Kkwagwagwagwa…!!
It collapses.
The weight exerted by two large bodies.
In addition, the heat created by the magical vortex surrounding them.
An enormous physical mass breaks and collapses the ground, breaking through cavities one after another and sinking into the endless underground world.
A journey that destroys an entire world. It was a destruction that even a decent transcendental or demon could not imitate.
Considering that Jeokchang’s strength is the highest among the thirteen true dragons named after the Dragon God, it is a sight that gives you an idea of how far his capabilities can reach when he pushes with all his heart.
Kugwagwagwa—!
Between the successively crushed ceiling and the ground, the deepest cavity of the dragon cave suddenly appears.
Jeokchang did not hesitate. It radiates enormous heat from its mouth as it bites off the neck of the terrestrial dragon with the force of destroying its very core.
━━━━━━━━━━
Yeolseon makes a flower bloom in the middle of Daegong-dong.
A fever flower bloomed, splitting into four branches, crushing the walls and floor, and distorting at once all the spells and magic that had accumulated over thousands of years.
The storm created by the backlash of the spell and the confusion of hundreds of magic techniques was a scene that felt like a feast of flower petals in full bloom when viewed from a distance.
[Kyahaaaa…!]
Soon, the earth dragon’s body was hit directly by the four-pronged heat ray that gathered in front of its nose, and its body was cut off at every joint and scattered in all directions.
Coogung! Kugugugugung…!!
It crashed along with the remains of the hollows that had been destroyed so far, creating a huge crater at the bottom of the Great Hollow.
[Whoa…!]
Jeokchang had already returned to his human form.
A dark red-haired woman sighing in pain as the debris of the collapsed underground world continues to fall.
「Wind Spirit Barrier」
Dallen came down through the air next to him and placed a barrier over his head to prevent him from being hit by falling debris.
[Delicate man logo. How can you not fall in love with something like this?]
“I guess I still have the spirit to talk nonsense.”
[It’s a time spent alone between a passionate man and woman in a barrier that can’t be seen from the outside… It’s not a bad atmosphere.]
“For a subject who’s been thousands of years old, his fierce spirit is nonsense. “Don’t worry, get your strength back quickly.”
After consuming his one-time ability and letting go of the broken sword, Dallon continued.
“Because that guy isn’t dead yet. “Anyway, didn’t you plan on finishing it yourself?”
[That’s right.]
It was quite a while before the rain subsided on a rock the size of a house. Dallon, who lifted the barrier, walked to the center of the Great Hollow with Red Spear.
The severed bodies of terrestrial dragons were seen everywhere near the walking path.
Even after being cut into pieces and crushed under the weight of thousands of tons, it continues to wriggle like a broken limb of an insect.
Jeokchang saw that and said with a frown.
[The reason the Earth Dragon was able to become a close associate of the Dragon God is because of its near-immortal regenerative power.]
“It seems so.”
[Even among the thirteen great dragons, there was no one who could match him. It was even able to regenerate the wounds inflicted by the Jinryong, which is also a mysterious being.]
The only thing that can injure the dragon, which is a mystery itself, is a power that falls into the category of mystery as well.
Among them, the power of the true dragon was one of the most lethal powers to other true dragons.
Didn’t Dallen also use the black flame of the red spear to cut off the fallen Cheongrin’s head before he could even reach the position of the transcendental?
Considering that the Red Spear manifested in its true form and constantly regenerated even the wounds it inflicted, it was understandable that the Earth Dragon was close to immortality.
[Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu her her her her her her her her… her her her… her hers… her… her hers… her…
her… her… her herhu… her herhuhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu her her her her her] heruuuuuuuu heru her her heru heruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu she her she herself she her herself as she her / her yet!
The ground dragon lying in the center of the shattered cave, panting, had only a dozen meters of joints and one leg left on its head.
[It looks really nice. Right?]
[That window…!]
[What will happen if I leave you like this? Will the dragon god you follow so much or his right-hand man, Baekgeom, come and save you?]
[Huhhh…]
Jeokchang laughed softly. She slowly approached and stood directly in front of the terrestrial dragon’s face.
[If you want to live, tell me. Why my faithful servant and friend stabbed me in the back that day.]
[…….]
[What happened to my body and soul that had their name taken away?]
