Genius Corpse-Collecting Warrior - Chapter 249

Flame of the Knights (3)

“Dallen….”

Lucia’s condition did not look very good.

The visible wounds were healing quickly, but the armor and cloth had already completely melted.

Since she was a high-ranking knight, she would have been wearing white and silver steel armor, as well as special high-ranking knight-level armor.

Nevertheless, there was not a single intact piece of armor left, and only the Yongrin armor he had gifted was slightly scorched, covering the paladin’s body.

“Did you get hit by the dragon’s breath?”

“…I had no choice.”

“I guess he jumped in instead of getting hit. “That is suicidal.”

“…….”

Lips tightly closed. It was an expression that said he would not deny what he said, but he would not back down either.

but. Lucia originally had that kind of temperament.

A paladin who never abandons his friends and allies no matter what happens. Wasn’t that also the reason why Dallen ranked her first in recruiting?

Dallen laughed and took out a wide robe from subspace. It was one of the relic equipment swept up from the auction house in the labyrinth city.

“Put this on. “It must be cold.”

“Yeah? OMG?”

The paladin’s eyes widened. Did he realize too late that he was half-naked, wearing only a thin piece of scale armor?

Leaving behind her with a slightly broken expression, Dallon quickly scanned the situation.

Crusaders and paladins fighting monsters at the bottom of the cliff. The gateway fortress appears to be their goal of retaking.

An army of monsters swarming the gateway fortress, which was practically in ruins. Even the large-scale siege of the dragon army that I observed flying from the high sky.

‘The Dragon God bypassed the crack barrier.’

The key given by Everlock to Sentai Cheongrin. That must have fallen into the hands of the Dragon God.

Recognizing that the supply line was cut off, the Knights immediately sent a detachment, and it would have been Lucia who led the detachment.

My guess is that the primary goal is reconnaissance. The secondary goal is to recapture the gateway fortress and secure the supply line.

Reconnaissance was accomplished. It is impossible to secure a supply line. What about the Gateway Fortress?

At that time, I heard a roar like the sound of a bird chirping in my ears. It was the voice of Inuoko Todd, a messenger sent by the Diamond Palace.

[Dallan. A follow-up force is coming from the dragon horde’s siege. There are three true dragons. It is not a great dragon.]

“Sequel unit?”

[yes. It seems like the dragon sent as a scout did not return, so additional troops were dispatched.]

Scout. Are you talking about the guy I’m stepping on right now?

The secretiveness of Inuoko Tod’s territory, a bird that flies without a shadow, was truly amazing.

Because it was able to leisurely fly and break through the siege network spread by the dragon army, encompassing heaven and earth.

However, one of the true dragons swarming around the siege seemed to have sensed something suspicious. Lately, a true dragon came after him as a scout and fell to Dallan with his chest pierced.

[Sorry, Dallon. It was my mistake.]

“No. You have done well enough. “I can’t even tell you how many dragon branches I would have had to cut off if it weren’t for you.”

[Thank you for your consideration.]

“Please continue to monitor the movements of the dragon army. And the others…”

Dallen paused for a moment. His senses even took stock of the situation.

The Gateway Fortress was an irreparable ruin. In fact, even if we recaptured it, it would be a miserable complex.

If they waited for no reason to retake the fortress, there was a high chance of attracting more attention from the dragon army.

First of all, the priority was to shake off the pursuers and escape into the main body’s sacred law barrier. How to break through the siege was the next step.

The decision was quick. Dallen opened his mouth.

[I will relay the strategy.]

A soft thunderous sound rings through the sky.

[Gateway Fortress is abandoned. I will quickly deal with the enemies and return to the headquarters.]

A voice echoes from the top of the clouds where Toad and his party are to the valley where the detachment is fighting.

[Sienna. Bjorn. Please support the Holy Knights. Sienna is rescued, Bjorn is focused on fire support.]

‘Okay.’

‘It’s a valley, so it’s the perfect place to explode a bomb!’

An answer heard from above. Immediately after, something struck the mountain peak like lightning and fell into the valley.

Dallen continued as he looked at the black feathers fluttering in the air.

[The old man and Tommy support me, and Akasha stands by. Todd asked for reconnaissance as he said.]

‘I will.’

‘Yes father.’

“And Lucia.”

Dallen turned his head.

The paladin, who had earned the title of dragon slayer after being a demon slayer, was wrapped in a robe with a slight blush.

She was out of her power right now. Even if she had recovered from the trauma through healing prayers, it would have been difficult for Lucia to continue the battle since she had been hit directly by the dragon’s breath.

That’s what Dallon tried to say. However, before I opened my mouth, my hand went out without realizing it.

“You had a hard time alone.”

“…I missed you. many.”

“I said the same thing.”

A hand stroking the head covered in dragon blood. His hands were also covered in blood.

It was a little sticky, but it didn’t feel particularly bad. It looked like she was like that too, as she was shaking her head.

“After looking at the situation, command the detachment and return first. You will be safe as long as you go inside the sacred law barrier. “At least for the time being.”

“how about you?”

Dallen withdrew his hand. He took a few steps back and looked up at the sky.

Three huge figures were approaching from beyond the sky. This was the follow-up unit that Todd had mentioned.

He checked his armor as a habit and adjusted his grip on the holy sword. Body condition is excellent. The ax hung well and the mithril armor was still strong.

“I’m going to grab dinner and go back. “There must still be a lot of spices stocked up, right?”

Lucia chuckled. It was a smile I had seen many times.

“of course. “Don’t be late.”

***

Toe

kicking the air.

Hwiiii…!!

The sound of the wind passing by my ears.

The heat rotating behind his back aided his flight like dragon wings. The presence of the three true dragons was clearly felt beyond the clouds.

Crispy! Kwasasak!

A faint wind blows and pieces of ice break against the armor. As a true dragon born with mystery, he was changing the environment around him with just his presence.

Soon, as we climbed through the clouds, we saw three dragons with the naked eye. The closer side has green scales. The two guys further away have blue scales.

‘You kept your distance from each other?’

Even at first glance, it is not a natural gap. The ancient dragon beyond the image confirmed that guess.

[Dallan, be careful. That is a formation assumed to be used when fighting a dragon that is stronger than them.]

It was a story about tactics when fighting a dragon. Dividing the front line and rear guard probably meant sharing hand-to-hand combat and rear support.

In that case, all we had to do was request rear support. Dallen mentally called out to his family within Tod’s domain.

‘Old man.’

[Preparations are over. You can tell me anytime.]

A voice secretly heard in my ear. At that moment, the two dragons in the rear howled.

[―――――!!]

It was an order.

A proclamation and a flap of wings. Hundreds of magic techniques are formed in front of the wide spread wings.

A block of ice the size of a house appears, and a sharp ice spear trembles tightly as if caught on a bowstring.

The moment hail poured down from the dry sky, spells spread out in the air rained down all at once.

Quaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

It freezes.

An expanse filled with pure white cold.

The frosty wind pours down like waves and a storm of spells rushes in. The cold air that was one step ahead made my skin feel numb.

Doo doo doo doo doo!

Daelon’s sword began to dance against the spell. A pure white magic monument cut by the tip of a sword. Dozens of ice arrows bounce off the sword’s face.

It was an acrobatic stunt of floating in the air and blocking the rain with a sword. What is different is that each raindrop has the same power as a siege weapon.

However, the important thing is not the bombardment of orders. Dallen sharpened his senses and looked straight ahead.

Beyond the overwhelming vortex of spells that go beyond sight and hearing and even bury the sense of magical power.

Salcho, hidden behind hundreds of magic tricks that could hardly be called Heocho, was approaching.

「Dream Chase」

─────!

see.

A power that goes beyond the level of sixth sense.

The power of dream tracking, derived from Ackerman’s drawing method, keenly captures the presence of a target once encountered, even in a storm of spells.

The hidden killer was the dragon itself.

A green giant folding its wings and darting down.

Like an eagle swooping down on its prey, it descended secretly, hiding itself under a spell.

The unreasonable Ji-seon Lee is attacked by a dragon while dealing with a spell, and gets beaten up by a spell while paying attention to the dragon.

However, a breakthrough had already been prepared.

‘Old man. ‘Now.’

[Elle – Memento Elegus.]

A magnificent chant filled the clouds far away. Golden waves blooming everywhere in an instant.

Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu (

concentric circles of gold) bloomed one after another, casting a huge curtain blocking the waves of spells.

「Domain opening: The hand of the earth that rewinds the spring」

「Paryun Kaijutsu」

As the curtain was in full bloom, the timeline of the pouring spells went back for a moment.

Giggeek―

[Mus…Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

?

The mainspring was rewound for a brief moment of less than a second. However, there was enough room to disrupt the joint attack of the two true dragons.

No matter how much of a surfer you are, what would happen if the wave you were barely balancing on suddenly rewound a second ago?

You will have no choice but to be helplessly caught up in the waves. The same was true for Jinryong, who was secretly attacking him amid waves of hundreds of spells.

Blah blah blah ───!

[Quuuuuu!]

[Tirbranne—!]

The green dragon’s scream and the blue dragon’s cry intersect. Dallen held the holy sword with both hands.

No matter how much the true dragon’s scales are, they cannot be immune to a barrage of spells from behind.

If the spell was poured out by the same true dragon, the damage would be even greater.

「Hoemyeong(回冥)」

A gap in which the vanguard was defeated.

Destroy the support of the rearguard.

The place where Dallon appeared after jumping through the space was above the heads of two blue dragons.

「Dabbo (踏步)」

「Twelve Lotus Dapsan (十二聯踏散)」

The moment he naturally turned his body over and stomped on the air toward the ground, his divine form increased to twelve.

Chrrrrrr!

As Arbor’s chains pass by, the clones’ hands each hold a weapon.

The main body holding the holy sword with both hands and the eleven clones choosing the great sword among the relic weapons.

「Domain Open: Closed Snowy Mountain Sky」

Rumbling….

Before I knew it, the sky above the clouds was covered with an additional layer of dark clouds.

A dark red thundercloud that blazes with red energy and blue thunderbolts at the same time, and lets out a ferocious howl like an animal.

[Crazy…]

Did he sense death? An empty cry flowed from the blue dragon’s mouth.

Soon, the twelve warriors who attacked the air at once became twelve rays of light and struck down.

「Blue Thunder」

「Thunder Strike: Series」

「Twelve Struggles」

Gurrrrrrrr━━━━━!

A thunder flashed beneath the dark clouds.

The shadow reflected in the clouds depicted the Jinryong’s gigantic body and twelve blue rays of light intersecting around the body.

A shadow torn into pieces and falling. Hooded: Meat and blood pouring down.

The warrior who had literally slaughtered a dragon turned his blood-covered head and looked at the one remaining blue dragon.

The corners of the mouth exposing fangs. he laughed.

“Next turn?”
