Genius Corpse-Collecting Warrior - Chapter 90

Jinryong (4)

Rumbling……

A thick layer of dust rises. It was the place where the body of a huge dragon crashed.

In front of a cloud of dust rising like a smokescreen. Dallen spat out the blood that had accumulated in his mouth.

Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

thanks of the air of red blood. It was similar to spilling hot molten iron on the ground.

‘This isn’t a human body.’

We have long ago thrown away the body of an ordinary human, but now we are in a situation where we cannot even say that we belong to the category of human beings.

While I was looking at the glowing blood stain with strange emotion, something was quickly shot through the dusty smoke screen.

Sugagagagak!

It was dozens of blue crystals. Bright blue crystals flying with icy cold tails along their trajectory.

Dallen lifted the sword without much agitation. The sword road covered in dark red flames crosses the planned firing line again and again.

Blah blah blah!

The moment when cold and heat meet, explode, and the pushed air completely dispels the smoke screen.

Grumble!

Dalen’s new form, with its entire body covered in flames, crashed into the dragon through the aftermath of the explosion.

Wow!

Light sword strike. heavy flames.

The tattered body of the dragon is beaten once again, and its scales and muscles are torn apart by the clash of mystery and mystery.

Cheongrin blocked the attack as much as possible with two pairs of wings and narrowed his pupils for a moment.

[――――!]

A dragon’s tongue flowed from her blood-covered muzzle, and blue-gray light flickered in her eyes.

Shooting out with just a glance is one of the many powers engraved in the true dragon’s blood.

Wow –

the air is freezing. The sudden freeze turned into an explosion of steam, leaving a white trail in the air.

That was not the concept of cold created by magical power.

‘curse.’

The power to draw a part of the cold hell with the image of the transcendent and foreign thoughts.

Dallen did not hesitate in the face of a curse that froze everything in sight.

Wow!

Black flames burst out from under my feet. The cursed body surpassed the wall of sound.

A huge arc drawn by the holy sword using dark red flames as paint, passing by the dragon’s massive body in an instant.

Coogung. thud!

The two wings of the dragon that were on the border of the line fall to the ground at the same time, and the dragon that lost its wings lets out a fierce scream one step later.

[Quaaaa! How do you ignore a curse! How can you be unharmed by the cold of hell!]

The guy’s eyes flashed blue. The curse of the pouring gaze once again froze the air.

The breath collected in the snout pours out with a curse due to the use of magical power without regard for life.

Quaaaaaaaa!

Dallen responded simply.

Ignore the curse that cuts off the breath by slashing the flaming sword and hits the entire body.

[Ugh. Ugh. Ugh….]

The devil, who had feasted on the curse of hell twice, patted his swollen belly in subspace and let out a satisfied belch.

Only then did the injured and old dragon’s eyes widen.

[How could you cut a tree…!]

[Grrr. Do you know me?]

[…I know. I heard that he perished in Enaxagus’ cauldron, but I didn’t know it would be to this extent. The curse you cast is the culprit of all of this, so how can you forget that day…!]

The dragon, who was furious, was momentarily frightened and retreated.

A movement close to instinct. Lately, I felt a tingling sensation on the back of my neck.

[Wow! [Kr…]

“Where is the bastard looking?”

Dallen grinned. Blue-white blood filled with extreme cold flows along the blade of the holy sword.

The dragon hurriedly retreated back. At best, it was like a four-legged lizard.

The broken heart was in a state of throbbing with even a single breath, let alone moving through space.

Since one pair of wings each was cut off, it was impossible to escape by flying.

[You will regret it! Do you think your mortal body can fully handle the blood of an immortal dragon?]

Cheongrin shouted with a distorted face. Dallen slightly raised an eyebrow. He asked, gently lowering the tip of his sword.

“That’s my problem. “If I save you, will you at least help me?”

[…The dragon’s body knows best.]

“Puh-huh.”

A dragon begging for its life. This is funny. Dallen laughed lowly and shook his head.

“After experiencing mortality, you became a human being no different.”

[What is that…!]

“That’s it. “You can ask someone else for the solution.”

Hwareuk.

The burning flames converge. A dark red sword body that is layered over the holy sword.

Cheonglin, who sensed the intention, hurriedly gathered his breath, but Dallan’s new form had already disappeared.

Kkkwang-!

The flames of a leap soaring high.

The dragon’s breath covers that elusive flame.

Cheongrin’s gaze, which had already been puffing out his breath, finally managed to spot the warrior who had returned to the side of his head.

[――!]

The moment I tried to squeeze out Yongeon with my desperate will, the dark red sword fell vertically.

It

wasn’t a crack sound.

When the tattered blue scales collide with the dark red blade, the result is a huge explosion.

After a flash of light that could be seen even at the entrance of the valley where the sailboat was parked, a storm of enormous scale swept through the area.

thud.

The blue dragon’s head fell to the ground.

***

Dallen took out Cheonglin’s heart and stored it in subspace.

Unlike the sub-dragon, where only the heart is a mystical crystal, Jinryong’s entire body is a product of mystery.

However, no matter how greedy one was, there was no room to fit a hundred-meter-long body into Arbor’s not-so-wide subspace.

In addition, processing and disposing of that huge corpse was not an easy task for him as an individual.

‘I’ll just hand it over to the manager and erase the debt.’

It was a much better business to owe a debt to someone like the leader of the Holy Knights than to buy a gigantic lizard corpse that could not be used properly.

And since the heart is the core organ where the mystery of the dragon gathers and circulates, it means that you have definitely taken advantage of it.

[Wow! What is this?]

The devil shouts in surprise at the large heart that fell in my bedroom.

Dallen laughed lowly and brushed the blood off his sword.

In fact, there was no way for a mortal to properly use the true dragon’s heart, even in his mind.

Nevertheless, the reason he bothered to take care of his heart was because he knew his own condition as mentioned by Cheongrin better than anyone else.

Although we barely stepped on the borderline of transcendent existence, the instability created because we were literally just tiptoeing was not a problem that could be easily solved.

[Ugh. It’s cold. It wouldn’t be this cold even beyond the Frost Highlands…]

Pretending not to hear the devil’s grumbling caused by the cold flowing from Cheonglin’s heart, Daelon returned to the place where he first confronted Cheonglin.

Before long, two people were seen.

It was an old wizard with a dull grey-brown beard and a young man kneeling next to him in tears.

Dallen trudged on and stopped next to the boy and the old man. The old man quietly closed his eyes and leaned against the rock.

A cold body and a motionless appearance.

It looked like someone had just died.

Dallen looked at that face for a moment and then squatted down. He roughly placed the holy sword on the ground and placed the ax he had picked up next to it.

He said.

“Are you dead?”

“…Not yet, tsk. “He has a long hair.”

“I guess it’s almost time to die. “My mouth has become rough.”

The old man lifted the corners of his mouth with difficulty. He lifted a trembling hand and placed it on his student’s blond hair.

“I passed on the abilities of my domain to this child. “It’s hard to call it a magic tower since there is only one successor, but I’m still thrilled that I can become the progenitor of a spell.”

“…….”

“Take good care of this warrior, Tommy. “He is someone who has worked for eons to save the continent.”

The boy was speechless. The nod made the tears that had formed on the eyelashes drop.

Dallon looked at it and scratched the edge of his eyebrows. Felber smiled softly and turned his head to him.

“Now I have to say hello. “Let me tell you one last thing.”

“what?”

“The young one will follow you from the dragon cave. He may have been your nemesis at some point, and you can’t ask him to forget that grudge. Still, I’d like to ask you a favor. “Please take away the young ones.”

The hand that was scratching my eyebrow stopped. Felber nodded slightly.

“okay. I know it’s hard work. However, this is my last request, so please listen to it. “That child will play a critical role in helping you win this fight.”

Phew.

The old man exhaled slowly. A body growing cold. The temperature of his breath was lukewarm.

The sound of slowly gasping for breath told me that the end of one’s life was imminent.

Felber took a short breath and continued speaking.

“Hehe. Actually…there are a lot of things I want to ask. How did you survive all these eons and how can you not break down right now? It was an honor to know you at the end of my life. “I will watch your performance among the stars, Dallen.”

The old man closed his eyes. His magical power slowly faded away.

The subtle golden light disappears, and even the old man’s breath becomes blurred.

In front of him, Dallon scratched his chin and muttered.

“I’m sorry, but that might be a bit awkward.”

“…yes?”

A disciple who expresses doubt with a face full of tear stains in place of the person who has lost consciousness.

Dallen smiled lowly and raised his head.

Vertically torn eyes stare at the sky. The transcendent gaze could see more.

Sunlight shining down. Stars shining beyond the sunlight. Two rays of the Milky Way.

I knew long ago that the stars on this earth are not the same as the gas lumps of my distant home.

They are not simply inanimate objects that are driven by unknown physical laws such as gravity, but are crystals of some heterogeneous rules that reflect the gaze of the gods.

However, the dragon’s eyes looking at the stars were, as always, reminiscing about the blue star of its hometown, which it hoped would be somewhere in this universe.

It was reminiscence, regret, longing, and boredom.

The days when I sacrificed a lot for my own comfort. A society where that was taken for granted and sometimes encouraged. People who don’t take care of each other. Groups that claim that their interests are justice.

He, who was only born as one of billions, could not help but bow to those countless voices.

He chose himself over others. I preferred the comfort of loneliness to a relationship that required sacrifice.

I thought I liked it.

Until I opened my eyes on this continent.

‘…a relationship where I can sacrifice myself.’

At one time, I thought it was loneliness.

It’s just a feeling that comes from the loneliness of a stranger in a strange country.

I thought that maybe, with the power I had never gained before in my life, I had momentarily forgotten that I was a human being who had a hard time taking care of my own body.

“…….”

However, in front of the old man who burned the last of his life for him, Dallon finally felt like he knew the answer to his long-standing worries.

A virtual stranger whom I have only known for a few months.

However, it is a relationship of self-sacrifice that cannot be found in the 30 years of the pot-bellied man’s life.

The failure to prevent the apocalypse in a game world made up of 0s and 1s may not have been solely due to a lack of substance.

The bigger reason was that he had no reason to protect the world on screen.

So where can we find the reason?

Am I myself? Or is it someone else?

Eat.

Dallen laughed. It was a needlessly long question and answer.

He lowered his head and looked at the old man. A body losing vitality. Tightly closed eyelids.

In front of the old man, who was already no longer able to see or hear, Dallon spoke clearly and with magical power so that even the last of his energy could be heard.

“You asked for it first, so I’ll ask for it too, old man. Please work a little harder in the future.”

Hwareuk.

A fire burned in my palm.

Dark red flames. There was a rusty lump in the center.

After obtaining complete dragon blood through a skill, the countless powers contained in dragon blood were engraved in my mind.

Because it was my first A-level skill, there were many parts that I couldn’t fully interpret even with my current intelligence level.

Among some of the powers that he found out with difficulty, Dallon was able to find information about authority.

‘The dragon takes away his power and gives it to those who follow him.’

Cheongrin’s family members not only fought dozens and hundreds of times on the other side of the monitor, but also crossed swords not long ago.

The seals engraved on them not only indicated their affiliation, but were also proof that Jinryong had given them a part of his power and immortality.

As it adds the power of a transcendental person, it is a seal of descent that can only be received by reaching a level higher than the original.

Felber was more than capable of doing so. If you can’t be a great wizard who has achieved great territory, then who can be?

Then there was only one thing left.

It is your own will.

A state in which consciousness is extinguished and only the deep original thoughts of the unconscious remain.

Will the inner feelings of an elder wizard at the end of his life be happy to accept a life that belongs to someone else?

Personal reasons were not important. All we needed now were opinions for and against.

Deep in his mind, Dallon felt some of the power he had built up slipping away and placed his hand containing that power on the old man’s head.

Whoosh…

A flame seeps into the old man as if he had been waiting.

And the anxious silence that continues for a while.

How long must the disciple’s tear-stained eyes have been looking at his teacher’s dead face?

Good luck!

A burning dark red mark was clearly engraved on the forehead of the old man, whose complexion had suddenly begun to return.
