Solo Max-Level Newbie - Chapter 540
Episode 540. Black Dragon ‘Pendragon’ (3)
“Ahem! Everyone follow this body’s commands. Because I am the captain recognized by the owner!”
The spirit beasts led by Undine.
“Miyooo!”
“Hmm. Seeing that you called us, it seems that something difficult has happened again.”
Fried and Hooded Cranes also responded to Jinhyeok’s call.
“The opponent is a dragon. It is also an adult that has risen to the ranks of ancient dragons. The odds are about 7.25%. huh.”
Frey muttered with a dry face.
Faces that look reassuring at a glance.
Since it was not possible to export sweet potatoes, other than that, in effect, all power was invested.
standing tall
Pendragon’s movement stopped.
If only a little while ago they were playing around with the spirits as bait.
The airflow was unusual now.
“Hoo. You’ve gathered quite a few useful summons for a lesser fella. It doesn’t seem like they gathered after seeing the owner’s qualities… Did they find some kind of weakness?”
“It’s a weakness. That’s too harsh. Because I am so good, everyone follows me unconditionally. Isn’t that right, guys?”
Jinhyeok asked as if asking for consent.
Of course, no one answered.
Coughing or clearing your eyes while sneaking away. He looked like he was about to vomit at any moment.
Like these ungrateful bastards.
This is why it seems that there is a saying that everything is useless even if you try to do well.
Right now, we have to somehow stop that black lizard. Even if I am angry, I have to endure it.
‘See you all later.’
Jinhyuk tried to manage his expression.
“Then take care of your back. 5 minutes… no, 3 minutes is enough.”
As he spoke, he turned around.
“Who said it was okay to run away?”
Of course, I wasn’t a Pandadragon to watch it quietly.
With the dragon words, dozens of magic circles were created in the air in an instant.
The flame magic of the 8th circle spewed fire all at once.
It was so powerful that even one hit would melt the bones.
Right then.
Kwaaang!
Frey crossed two short spears and got in between Jinhyeok and the fireball.
The blazing flames were cut into quarters, intercepted by a javelin.
“…”
Pendragon’s eyes narrowed.
Even in the same Circle, Dragon Words have much greater power.
Even more so, wasn’t the magic he was using now the dragon’s words cast by himself, an ancient dragon?
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam!
The fireballs that followed were also fragmented and scattered.
The sparks that bloomed were scattered through the air.
…This is no coincidence.
“I thought it was just an ordinary doll. Was it a homunculus? I heard it was finished, but this is the first time I’ve seen it with my own eyes.”
“huh. This is my first time fighting an ancient dragon.”
“They say it’s the strongest fighting weapon? But you chose the wrong master. To follow an incompetent and cowardly bastard who drives his subordinates to death.”
Pendragon opened his palm toward Frey.
“How are you? If you are with me, I will not use it as a throwaway card, but I will guarantee you a treatment commensurate with your skills. Consider giving me the entire floor if you like. By the way, this is an offer for all of you.”
No matter how greedy you are, the saying that you can dominate the entire floor cannot help but be tempted.
on a different level from now. It was a job that guaranteed great wealth and honor.
Besides, the one making this proposal is none other than an ancient dragon.
It was not a lie, but an absolute being with the power and ability to make it possible.
“On the 33rd floor… you mean you’re giving us all of this?”
“This is a really, really big place.”
“Wow. It’s attractive enough to make even a dead salamander jump out of its coffin.”
“At this level, even the sweet potato captain who is not here would agree? Shall I answer for you? Mosquito!”
“Everyone be quiet. Head hurts.”
“Me Miyo Oh!”
“Hmm, it’s a proposal that suits this body perfectly…”
Greed formed in everyone’s eyes.
To be loyal to Jinhyeok and to dominate a floor.
If you put two on a scale, it hurts to say which way it leans.
however.
“I’m sorry, but I have only chosen one master.”
Frey flatly rejected the offer.
Even if I gave him everything in the world, I had no intention of betraying him.
Even if you’re not a fandragon. Because he met someone who recognized and understood his existence much earlier than that.
“Yeah! Actually, I had no intention of betraying you either!”
“me too!”
“Of course!”
“Miyomiyo!”
“Kuhm! Sashinsu is a being who knows honor and pride. Isn’t it humiliating as a fellow dragon?”
As long as Frey hit the player, it became unclear whether the rest would hit the back of the head.
“To deal with that guy on the 48th floor, I needed a lot of powerful pieces of chess, so I tried to keep him alive if possible. From now on, I will tell you how foolish your choices were.”
Roaring!
Black flames gushed along Pendragon’s hands.
Horrible magic that cannot be classified as a circle.
Kwak Kwah Kwah Kwah Kwah!
The ancient dragon started moving.
⁕⁕⁕
The passage that seemed to have no end came to an end.
A dazzling light spread, revealing a huge cave.
[You have reached the depths of the ruins.]
[The boss monster, ‘Nano-Leaf’, is looking at you.]
Chains engraved with various runes made loud noises and clattered.
In the middle of it, a nanoleaf in the form of a small boy was restrained.
Dissatisfaction dripped from his stricken face.
“Haa…. I was living peacefully, but because of you, I really don’t know what kind of lightning strike this is.”
“Can I tell you that it gave a fresh stimulus to the boring daily life? Your heart is beating thanks to me.”
“You say that! Nope. Rather, what are you going to do now? Your minions are quite strong, but they can’t stop that monster.”
“That’s right.”
His classmate, Fried, is still young and has little experience.
Frey can also open a unique holy spear, but it was not enough to defeat Pendragon.
It was because it was difficult to use the unique mobility in such a narrow passage.
Of course, the story could be completely different if Elise was stunned by magical powers.
Because the true ancestor of Ataraxia was an absolute being that even ancient dragons couldn’t carelessly do.
but.
If you do, you won’t get what you want from these ruins.
‘I can’t pour all my magic into Alice.’
Traces of Igni, the fire spirit king.
In order to find it, some special conditions had to be met, but Alice’s blood magic was not included there.
‘I can take it out from here soon.’
Jinhyeok made up his mind.
Whoa!
[The subspace inventory is open.]
Amber eyes and black scales.
“Mosquito!”
A distinctive cry resonated pleasantly.
The sweet potato came into Jinhyeok’s arms and hugged him.
“Yes, yes. our kuma. how have you been doing?”
“mosquito!”
The sweet potato waggled its tail.
This is the moment when the cuteness that makes you want to bite it explodes.
“This is the ancient species that Pendragon was looking for so much. The plan is to get past that and save your life… Ah!”
The nanoleaf, which had been talking, immediately screamed.
The sweet potato had bitten off the nanoleaf’s arm.
“hey! get rid of this guy Right now… Ouch. I was wrong. I made a mistake!”
“Mosquito!”
“Don’t mess with our kids. I’m going to explain the operation from now on, so please cooperate. you know? If you build up your pride for no reason, we will all die together.”
“I know about that. That’s why I called you here. But you’re not planning on attacking me right after driving out Pendragon, are you?”
The nanoleaf’s voice raised a lot of wariness.
Calmness, without hesitation, abandoning allies for the sake of a purpose.
I couldn’t easily entrust my back since I saw firsthand that he had a personality that only pursued results.
To put it bluntly, this relationship right now is just a temporary alliance. Because we could stab each other at any time.
“Kuhm! What does everyone see people as? Don’t worry about that. If you acknowledge that you passed through the ruins, I will find the traces of Igni and leave right away.”
“Is it really? Are you leaving quietly?”
“As you can see with your own eyes, I just need to achieve my goal, and I don’t bother focusing on useless things.”
“…okay. Look closely and you know.”
A personality that pursues extreme cost performance and efficiency.
More than anything else, these words spoken now were the most reliable evidence.
Nanoleaf and Jinhyeok nodded to each other.
With that, an alliance was formed to defend the ruins.
“Then what can I do? Only in this room can I take out a lot more powerful and diverse things, whether it’s a golem or a defense turret, than in the aisle…” “Rather than
that, use that chain to gather the magic of the ruins into one place. Only with the fire attribute.”
“That’s a bit of a tough request, but no matter how much I pick out just one attribute…” “If you
use nanotechnology to open the magic core, that would be possible enough, right? Use the No. 2 and No. 7 hearts as the main ones.”
“…!?”
The nanoleaf took a deep breath.
rapidly dilating pupils.
“You… how… do you know exactly what my abilities are? No, I didn’t know that I had to use a few more hearts than that.”
“It’s a coincidence. I took a picture because I thought you might have the ability to have a cool name.”
“Are you going to believe that nonsense?”
“You’re free to believe or not, but it’s not important to consider that right now, right? How are you going to gather your mana according to my words?”
“Ha, I see. Instead, I need some time to break these chains.”
The nanoleaf moved the chains that restrained its body.
Cheolguk! Clap!
Chains were both a source of magic power to the Nanoleaf and a restraining tool that restrained itself.
[‘Nano Technology’ – The magic core is activated!]
The stronger the restrictions, the stronger the power.
The nanoleaf began to gather mana along the chain.
The red runes radiated light all at once along the chains.
That moment.
Quaang!
Kwaaang!
Pendragon broke through the door of the ruins.
“Now there will be nowhere to run. This is the end of the boring tag game.”
“It seems so. But I bought myself some time running around.”
There is no reason to run away anymore.
Because now you have all the conditions you want.
Jinhyeok took out two daggers.
at the same time.
The mana that had been saved until now was released all at once.
[The unique vocal lance ‘White Night’ is activated!]
Shoot ah…
Snowflakes flew and the field of view was colored white.
The boundary between day and night is blurred, and the white light even erases the sword body.
This is the ultimate meaning of the sword that Chun Yu-seong wanted to reach.
Pendragon let out a sneer at the snow-covered mental world.
“Do you think that the sword will reach me just because I made a world like this?”
Obviously, the existence of a sword master is a threat when it comes to hunting dragons.
Because the Aura Blade was able to cut not only the shield of the 9th circle, but also the dragon scale.
But to be able to do that, it’s a story when there is strong mage and healer back support.
You can’t do anything alone.
Furthermore, Pendragon had the experience of destroying raid groups with perfect combinations dozens of times.
As for what Jinhyeok will do…
…it is said that he has reached a point where he can predict even with his eyes closed.
Quaang!
Jinhyeok leaped forward.
The white sword steel that gushed out was gone, leaving behind an afterimage.
however.
Whoa!
Right before the sword touched Pendragon, Pendragon’s body disappeared.
“Humans often misunderstand that dragons are only good at long-distance battles…”
Short-range space transfer using Blink.
What followed was a gigantic explosion that consumed space itself.
“I rather enjoy close combat.”
Wow!
The place where Jinhyeok was standing evaporated as it was.
