Genius Corpse-Collecting Warrior - Chapter 89
True Dragon (3)
[Skill ‘Dark Red Dragon’s Blood (A)’ has been acquired.]
Even before the notification window appeared in front of him, Dallon’s heart was pulsating violently.
thud. thud. thud. thud.
It was different from my usual pounding.
The movement of blood that carries oxygen in daily life is not much different from human blood.
It was not a rush of hot blood containing regenerative factors that spread throughout the body to repair it.
A deeper, more heated beat.
A sensation as if something other than physical blood was flowing.
A long time ago.
Was this what it felt like right after I first obtained the regenerative factor of dragon blood in the sewers?
In the meantime, I recovered countless corpses and acquired double-digit skills, but it was only once that I felt a sense of added mystery to a part of my body.
‘Until just now.’
Sigh –
I take a breath.
The blood, which was supposed to absorb and transport oxygen, instead absorbed the magic power in the air and carried it throughout the body.
Each cell faces a unique moment of awakening due to a new energy source.
There is a sense that one can say that one’s level of class has risen as one’s overall physical abilities have been forcibly raised.
After…
exhaling lightly. The burning heat of that breath.
Although he did not look into the realm beyond the imagery, Dallon could intuitively know.
The current phenomenon is a result of a combination of the regeneration factor of the Dragon Blood, which has reached the limit of its proficiency, and its physical strength, which has already exceeded the limit.
At the same time, it is the Dragon’s Blood Son that the apostles of retrograde obtained through some kind of path at one of the crossroads in the distant future.
It meant that he was revived with the blood of a real dragon in a human body through the nature of a fantasy world that turns possibilities into reality and a distorted timeline through the successor option.
[Ugh… this is impossible.] Perhaps
allowing the aftermath of an explosion of cold and flames from the front was a bigger blow to my weakened body than I thought.
Dallen looked at the blue dragon staggering in the air, muttering in disbelief.
And in one corner of the field of view.
I feel the gaze of an unfamiliar being.
[…….]
That was another dragon.
A gigantic dragon figure gazing towards us, clad in gorgeous black and red scales.
It wasn’t real. The dragon’s shadow appeared and dispersed like an illusion.
“…….”
However, Dallen was able to feel extremely complex emotions from that fleeting glance.
A feeling of discomfort, as if you don’t like what’s happening now.
However, I chose to turn away because I knew that it was an inevitable result and process.
[How can a mortal being possess the blood of a supreme dragon? This is different from just having dreadlocks! This…this…!]
The Blue True Dragon’s angry roar rang in my ears. Dallen put aside his thoughts about the vision of the dark red dragon for a moment.
Exploring the nature of the newly given power is also of utmost importance.
However, what was more urgent than that was using this power to defeat the powerful enemy in front of us.
[I, Tedera Riulak, will personally crush you and destroy you for polluting the species called True Dragon.]
“That’s damning.”
Dallen took a step forward.
thud.
The presence becomes an intangible pressure that pushes the air around it.
The crystal-like grains of sand scattered beneath my feet instantly melted as soon as they touched the heat of the pressure.
Dallen raised his head high to the sky, his vertically slit eyes flashing.
The wounded and emaciated body of a blue dragon can be seen hundreds of meters in the air between two cliffs.
Tedera Riulak for Cheongrin.
Jinryong, who brought his superhuman body to the brink of death with just one tail strike.
The immortal, who had made him feel like a wall he couldn’t resist just moments ago, no longer seemed like a transcendent being who could not be opposed.
A dragon that cannot achieve even half of its original capacity due to a powerful curse.
He is also an immortal who was mortally wounded by the knight commander, Edgar, and took on the shell of a mortal.
Of course, Dallon’s situation was not that easy.
Because the burning mystery contained in the blood of a newly awakened dragon was violently shaking his imperfect body.
But it didn’t matter.
The dragon was weakened enough to be able to predict victory with this imperfect combination.
[Can you block my breath with that measly fire? If a mortal dares to imitate an immortal being, I will punish him by freezing him in flames!]
Jeonseong, which struggles to maintain balance in the sky and spits out evil.
However, even with such a threat, I was unable to let out a breath hastily.
Since the dragon’s breath is one of the most basic powers, it would mean that Cheongrin’s body, which has been rewound in time, is damaged to that extent.
Dallen chuckled.
“Have you become more talkative?”
[……!]
“They say that older and weaker dogs bark more fiercely.”
[This…!]
Ignoring Cheongrin’s anger-stained fighting spirit, I gathered my strength into the steps I took.
Damn.
The earth cracks beneath your feet.
Kurrrr.
A dark red flame flutters between the cracks even though the power of the realm is not necessarily brought out.
Dallen lightly pushed his body up, feeling the depth of the flames radiating throughout his body.
Towoong –
A new emerging model. There is no noise.
At the end of a trajectory that is more like a flight than a leap, the flames surrounding the body naturally form wings on the back.
Kwarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
The black flame that extends beyond the sword body burns fiercely and emits a heavy force.
An image of flames covering the holy sword raised with both hands.
The waving movement, which was larger than Dallen’s body, looked like the claws of a dark red dragon.
[――――!]
Cheongrin, whose gaze was now on the verge of burning with madness, also spewed out profanity and dived with his claws in front.
The depth of the crack.
Cheongrin’s territory valley.
Two dragons collided hundreds of meters in the air.
***
Rumbling….
The sky roared low. Tommy was scared, but he didn’t stop and ran.
The young man made a sign and recited a spell towards the huge pile of stones that blocked his eyes.
“Elle. “Myarin.”
Gurgling.
Rocks and pebbles move as if they are alive. A small passage was created between the mountains of stones that could allow one person to pass through.
Tommy lowered his posture almost to his stomach and began to crawl through them.
And I prayed.
Please don’t fall apart.
I hope you can hold on at least until it passes.
Fortunately, the magically opened stone gap did not collapse until he passed through, and Tommy was able to get up and run again, out of breath.
Quack! Rumbling!
Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk
of tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk of of of of of of of of of of of of late of ofs ofs (1400) heads, but two gigantic powers were colliding with no end.
The fragments of the collision spread out in all directions, sometimes falling near Tommy in the form of lumps of flame or cold.
Kkwagwagwang-!
A remnant of the power that instantly freezes and burns a stone the size of a house into powder.
There was no way for the young man not to be afraid in the midst of the bombing, which was fatal even if he just passed by.
Wow.
Still, it runs.
Even though his hands clutching the invisibility cloak were covered in sweat and tears, the young wizard could not stop his running steps.
A huge explosion that hits your eardrums.
The ground and cliffs shake as if there was an earthquake.
Stones as big as houses fell several times on the road we passed.
The young man, who was constantly chanting spells and making hand signs with one hand, ignored them all.
‘If you’re scared, you can always cover yourself and run away.’
What Dallen said to him just last night flashes through his mind.
‘It’s up to you to choose where you will die.’
“…I chose it.”
A mumble that came out of my mouth without me knowing.
That was right. The young man chose.
I decided to put on the invisibility cloak that the warrior gave me.
And even if this becomes my place to die, I will not run away.
If it’s the end of our lives, shouldn’t we spend our last breath saving someone else’s life?
That’s why the young man was running through hell, thinking of only one person.
‘Master.’
Felver Valentino, the elder wizard of the Elgaia Tower.
A gift that allowed him to take his life from being an orphan and live in a new world in the Magic Tower.
Due to the curiosity and foolishness of young blood, he made mistakes several times, but his teacher always saved him without fail.
Now that I’m well past adulthood, I feel like I understand a little more.
How great was the grace of the teacher who helped him, sometimes even ignoring his political position as an elder wizard.
In addition, I also realized how childish and unanswerable I had been while staying under that protection like a flower in a greenhouse.
‘…You shouldn’t die like this.’
I repeat the words I couldn’t reach. Tommy swallowed.
It was a mixture of the salty taste of tears and snot and the fishy scent of blood.
Now I can finally say that I am a wizard who does the work of one person.
I haven’t received any of that grace yet, so what can I do if you leave like this?
That was the reason why Tommy did not run away as the two transcendent beings clashed in the sky, but ran towards his teacher’s place.
Could it be that God heard that earnest will?
“…Huh!”
A rock flying from somewhere grazed his forehead and Tommy wiped away the blood that covered his eyes.
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu their
a a a a a a a of a golden hemisphere was seen in the middle of the cloudy dust and the overturned ground.
“Master!”
Tommy shouted. I ran with all the strength I had from breastfeeding.
The closer he got, the more intense the bombardment of debris threatened his life, but he paid no heed.
And as he approached a certain distance, the golden hemisphere swayed as if it were alive and expanded its range.
Golden magical energy surrounds and protects Tommy’s body and catches several rocks falling on his head.
Once inside the hemisphere, Tommy was finally able to find Felber leaning against a large rock.
“Master, are you okay!”
“Cluck. It’s okay. “What is it with your face?”
The teacher stretched the corners of his eyes and smiled. Fluffy pupils. Eyes without focus.
He was able to clearly recognize his disciple’s presence thanks to his magic sensitivity reaching its extreme, but on the other hand, his aging body, which had been pushed beyond its limits, was slowly cooling down.
“Ugh……”
“Tsk tsk.” I’ve told you several times to be careful when using potions. “Didn’t you say that if you use it like that, you might end up with crippled limbs at some point?”
In front of the student who could no longer hold it in and began to shed tears, the teacher patted the student’s head with a heavy hand and scolded him as was his custom.
Tommy didn’t like even the scolding. The throbbing pain seemed to melt away at the teacher’s worried words.
“Come here.”
Felber pulled his student by the shoulder. A slightly trembling hand touches the disciple’s injured area.
“Hmm. “It’s serious.”
“…I had no choice.”
Tommy shook his head.
The dragon’s blow, which instantly killed the deputy interrogator, had even the aftereffects of the force that leaked out, even though Dallen stepped in to block it.
It was a miracle in itself that he remained conscious after being thrown hundreds of meters away with the Holy Knights and being completely injured from head to toe.
The young man restored his body by gathering up his broken fingers, putting his crushed legs together, and pouring regeneration potion into them.
Of course, it was not a proper treatment.
Not only does the regeneration potion cause considerable pain, but it literally only regenerates, so it is a treatment method that must be accompanied by surgical treatment.
If you just put it on like now, all kinds of side effects could occur, such as joints being incorrectly joined or nerves being compressed.
Felber clicked his tongue and placed his hand on his disciple’s chest. And whispered a spell.
“Stay still. Elle – Memento Kasibolg.”
Trembling fingertips. The golden wave reverses and permeates the young man’s body.
The muscles and bones that had been forced together were instantly crushed and returned to their original, normal form.
“Cough! “I feel better now.”
“Master! Shouldn’t you turn back time, not for me but for you, Master? Why…”
“You bastard. “If you know how to define your own existence and control your own timeline, would you be a god or a human being?”
Felber scolded the student, who was crying with his eyes wide open, and laughed again.
“You need to get out of here first. “I will take you to a safe place.”
“Arthur, I’m not going. My destination is here. Fortunately, I think I can at least say hello to Dallen and leave.”
Felber tilted his head and looked up at the sky.
Unlike the body dying in real time, the power of the realm was still deployed more powerfully than ever.
Thanks to this, Felber was able to vividly read the battle unfolding in the sky without looking with unfocused eyes.
The battle between blue and red.
A battle between cold and fire.
On the one hand, he was a transcendent being who was born immortal, but had to bear the bonds of mortality due to a curse and injury.
The other is a being who was born solely as a human, but through the endless repetition of life, has overcome the limitations of the species over and over again, and has come to possess the edge of immortality.
Since we have accepted the mystery with our imperfect mortal bodies, there are certainly going to be setbacks.
At least for now, Dallen was achieving a good war that no one expected against the immortals who were in ruins.
Kugugugugung….
The sky flashed with dark red energy. A huge blue mass fell to the other side of the valley.
A new type of dark red warrior chasing after him and plunging into the ground.
Feeling that the fight was coming to an end, Felber patted the back of his disciple’s hand and said,
“Come a little closer, Tommy. I will pass on my final insight to you.”
The hand of an old man with wrinkles placed on the forehead of a young man who came closer.
“Make sure that you pass on to future generations my realm of touching the timeline with the image of the earth.”
A new magic system began to flow from the back of that hand.
