Stuck in The Tower - Chapter 643
Episode 643: Dragon’s Night
Merrymule.
At first, I thought the name sounded somewhat familiar, but then I suddenly remembered the quest Lilka had given me.
‘Because I’ve never seen a name like that on my way up to the 94th floor.’
Although it is a mandatory quest, it is actually a quest to help me.
It was a quest I received to obtain a replacement for a heavy bracelet that may break at any time after being used for a long time.
[Lilka’s Request (8)- Forced Quest]
-Lilka gulps the weighted bracelet!
-There is a being who has a replacement for the item.
-Merry mule! A person with countless treasures can have anything!
-Hand over the item requested to be made and choose a reward.
-Super Dragon Sleep Mask Delivery (0/1)
-Reward: Merrymule’s Treasure (???)
-Caution) What item you get is up to your personal ability!
While previous quests were about obtaining materials needed for crafting, this quest was a delivery quest.
Just because I’m a Lilka doesn’t mean I go everywhere, so I thought I’d do it someday.
I didn’t know that the target was a dragon.
It’s not just a dragon either. He was both the ruler of the 94th floor and an ancient dragon.
‘I’m sure I’ll have whatever I have.’
What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of dragons?
Dragon Breath? Bloom?
There is something like that, but there is also that.
‘Dragon Rare.’
There is no one who has actually seen it and no solid evidence.
Because no one has faced a dragon yet.
Same goes for me. However, surprisingly, the contents passed down orally as fairy tales and legends fit well.
There were many hypotheses about it, but now that I think about it, I think towers may have appeared on Earth before.
The stories of the survivors who survived at that time were passed down to future generations and are now used as a major source of fantasy.
anyway.
“Lil Kara… Yes, there is something I asked for. “I didn’t know if they would send a representative.”
“I’m a merchant too. “I also collaborated quite a bit with Lilka.”
Not just a merchant, but also a dimensional merchant and someone who also deals with the Flower and Bird Kingdom.
There is also a revival project with Lilka. He can be seen as a decent merchant.
“It’s good anyway. “Where are the things?”
Merrymule asks, turning to face me.
He seems to be quite anxious as he can even feel his snort.
I felt a little dirty when I suddenly got hit by the dragon’s hot nose, but there was something more important than that.
“Previously.”
I raised my hand towards him.
I had been thinking about it since I first met him, but it became clear as I got closer.
The title of one who filters out parasitic species also moves.
Until now, it was acting so subtly that I wondered if there was an infectious agent somewhere in the mountains.
“When did you get infected?”
“what? Do you want to say that I suffered from something so inferior!”
A crumpled face.
I’m not an idiot who doesn’t know what infection means.
An infection spread by ancient monsters into the Dragon Mountains.
They have one goal.
Infecting the dragons in the Dragon Mountains and using them as puppets.
No matter how high a being is, if it is infected, it is nothing more than a host for a parasite.
Isn’t the parasitic species controlling a higher level monster than itself right now?
It even infected NPCs.
It’s different for each NPC, but some of them tear up 6-star monsters with their bare hands.
Isn’t there already a precedent?
“Already the master of the West and the lord of Grazia Fortress have also been infected.”
“Do not lie. I know well the power of each castle lord. “There is no way such a person would be infected with parasites.”
“He’s already dead by Adela’s hands.”
“that!”
I’ve been sitting in the mountains and the news is late.
I should have walked around and listened to stories.
It is visible that he is embarrassed.
The military power of the castle lords representing each region is at a level that even ancient dragons cannot ignore.
Right now, Adela is a polar opposite.
It is not for nothing that they occupy the center and remain still.
Even if you’re inside the Dragon Mountains, it’s a burden to go outside.
“Have you had any sudden urges or increased appetite lately?”
“…such unpleasant emotions can be controlled.”
“It looks like the infection is still low. Or is it just staying quiet for the night of the dragon?”
There’s no need to go on a rampage in advance.
Anyway, when the night of the dragon comes, you will lose your temper and become easier to control.
It is possible to stop parasitic species with the dragon’s unique strength and wisdom when reason remains.
I slowly moved forward.
As soon as I get close enough to touch it, the guy flinches.
It seems that it had managed to hide and endure until now, but as I, who had the title, got closer, the parasitic species instinctively squirmed.
There’s no way Merry Mullet didn’t feel that.
“This!”
“I think there are roughly two of them.”
“Where on earth did you get infected?”
“The important thing now is not why you were infected. “How are you going to get it out?”
Identifying the cause is next.
“It’s safe to say that what happened to you also happened to other dragons, right?”
There was no answer, but I knew it was positive.
The leader of the dragons was killed, but would it be any different for other guys?
Then there is one thing I have to do.
“Bring everyone. “I will solve it.”
He snapped his fingers.
Currently, I am the only one who can take out the parasitic species.
As long as you have a title and a knife that can cut flesh, anything is possible.
Fortunately, the parasite species has not yet become fully active, so it will be possible to completely remove it.
I’ll probably last for a while even if I stay active.
Since it is a dragon, it is large and will try to stop it with all kinds of magical abilities.
In addition, it probably has quite a bit of regenerative ability.
‘If I roughly cut open the stomach, it would still be fine, right?’
Not a quack. It is time for a parasitic expert to solve the problem.
“This is a blessing. request.”
Merrymule bows her head low, as if she is arrogant but not foolish.
It was one of the highest acts of courtesy a proud dragon could show.
Yes, it should come out like this.
“I’m Dragon’s friend again. “You know you have to be nice to friends, right?”
He pretended to be friendly and stuck next to him and gave an OK sign.
Friend rain. That’s it.
“Is that really the identity of that familiar smell? A person who is recognized by his or her own people must be respected. “I owe you a lot.”
I don’t know if he understood what I meant, or if it’s just the dragon race, but he obediently acknowledges his debt.
One o’clock is busy. There is a reason to do this.
[Lilka’s Request (8)- Compulsory Quest]
-Reward: Merrymule’s Treasure (???)
-Caution) What item you get is up to your personal ability!
A quest reward given by Lilka.
Literally, what items I receive is up to me.
If you take out debt, you will be able to get better things.
Moreover, if you look closely…
‘There is no quantity limit, right?’
I’m thinking of picking up the mulberry that I came here for.
Then, the groundbait is all laid out.
“receive.”
[Dragon’s Sleep Mask (SSS)]
– A sleep mask made to fit the size of a dragon.
-Peace of mind just by writing.
-You feel drowsy yet calm.
-You can’t see what’s ahead, but you can solve that problem!
SSS level on the subject of a sleeping mask.
I wondered what kind of strange thing they had made, but now I saw it was this.
An artifact that helps you maintain your composure without losing your temper.
With this, I can draw any picture I want.
“Oh yeah. I needed this. Then, reward me…”
“No, that’s later.” “There’s something more important than that right now, right?”
“yes. I will call my compatriots. “Please remove the parasitic species.”
“of course. Oh, and it’s not a big deal, but if you get rid of all the parasites, there’s one thing you can do for me.”
“Something?”
“I’ll tell you about that after work.”
“As you wish. “If it’s something you need, there must be a reason.”
Merry Muret moved and I also opened a personal shop window.
It’s good to use a sword, but if you’re going to deal with several large dragons, it would be better to have an appropriate tool.
Framberg and an open private shop window.
[Giant Chainsaw (SS)]
-Jeeeeee!
-Oooooh!
-Even the giant is broken in pieces!
-Even the tree is broken into pieces!
-If the world capital is east of the river… big trouble will happen!
This would be appropriate.
then.
“Would you like to try it diligently?”
I glanced at the sky.
There are only a few days left.
Everything must be completed within it.
* * *
Time passes by just by breathing.
Night fell and the moon rose.
Unlike the central moon, which has lost its light as an old moon, the baby moon, which has become full, shines red.
The night of the dragon finally arrived.
-Geu-g-g-g-geuk!
-Kiuuuu!
The dragon species tamed by the Dragon Knight are locked in a cage and howling.
The sound of waking up in the wild and running wild is clear.
A Dragon Knight who cannot control dragons is actually just a stronger warrior.
In preparation for this, monsters other than dragon species were used as spares, but they were nothing compared to dragon species.
To be honest, it was the same as Beast Rider.
Mirva, riding a griffon instead of a wyvern, shouted.
“Chimera dragon ahead! “Close up the air!”
“Drop it down! “We have to somehow prevent it from going inside!”
The most dangerous thing when dealing with polyps is objects that fall into the air.
Not only will you lose the geographical advantage, but if you rush past the main force and rush into the fortress, the damage will be enormous.
“Kuwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?
Yongjong’s unique spirit.
The aerial monsters, including the Griffon, were frightened by their presence, which had become more powerful under the influence of the red moon, but the Dragon Knights were somehow able to appease them.
Because the moment the air breaks through, everything ends.
“Shit!”
“Can this be prevented?”
“Shut up and pick up your weapons! “If we back down, it’s over!”
It’s not just Mirva.
Everyone was horrified by the barrage of supplies that went beyond common sense.
Even on the night of the dragon, this has never happened.
However, this time was different.
“I never thought the special gate would explode!”
“What the damn eastern bastards have done!”
“Aren’t we all going to die!”
The Ancient Monster used the Dragon’s Night to pour out monsters all at once.
It’s a special gate that spits out polyps even though other monsters don’t.
The people inside there were also affected.
Originally, it was a gate that spit out huge monsters.
Adela and Gallias moved to prevent it.
“Galias! do it properly!”
“I’m fucking doing it!”
One step too late.
There was no need to say why.
Shortly after moving to deal with the gate, we were attacked by the eastern guys guarding it.
If they were to fight head-on, they would all be swept away, but they have been kept in check.
Their intention to somehow bide their time was clearly visible, and Mirva and others came out to stop them, but the incident had already occurred.
Gate break earlier than expected.
The eastern part was determined to hinder movement.
They probably colluded for this time a long time ago.
We moved quickly thanks to Evileye’s advice, but we couldn’t be faster than those who were preparing from the beginning.
-Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
The gate, which had at least maintained its shape, began to vibrate and soon begin to break apart.
A sign that a special gate is fully open.
-Puhuaaaaaaaaa!
An energy blooms within that is incomparable to anything before.
Ancient monster.
While gritting her teeth, Adela added strength to the claymore.
This is the guy who was acting like a polyp.
That means that he is probably also a polyp.
Thinking that there was a good chance of victory, I narrowed my eyes even through the blowing dust.
Among the flying dragons, a being wearing golden armor walked out.
A knight carrying a sword as big as his body.
A light flashed in the eyes covered by the helmet.
‘A vertically torn eye?’
Adela could see.
Reptilian eyes that humans cannot have.
I got goosebumps for a moment.
[The first Dragonian, Katran Halliu, appears.]
“Ah, is it finally outside?”
The one who inherited the blood of the dragon has appeared.
A person who is human but also a dragon.
A being that can use its natural power without losing its reason even on the night of the dragon.
He leisurely raises his sword to his shoulder and looks at Adela.
“Judging by its appearance, it appears to be the northern province of Seongju. Next door will be Holy Week in the South.”
Katran, pointing to Adela and Galais with his fingertip as if he already knows the news from outside, shakes his shoulders.
Obvious ridicule.
“You came to stop me. “Others must have gone west.”
“You talk a lot. “You who inherit the lizard’s blood.”
“Tsk!”
He laughs at Adela’s provocation and approaches, dragging his sword on the ground.
“The spirit is good. But is it okay for someone named Seongju to be in the south?”
Kugit. Adela’s eyebrows narrowed.
What is that guy talking about?
“By now, the idiots from the East must be rushing towards the empty North.”
“what!”
I had some expectations.
When he comes down, the North is empty.
It is also said that Evileye will go to the West to catch the Ancient Monster.
Still, I had no choice but to do it.
No, at least as a human being, I believed that the East would join forces on this night.
‘No matter how much of a cult they are, they are idiots like this!’
In the distance, a messenger runs toward Adela, who is gritting her teeth.
It was clear that the rush brought important news.
“Take the messenger. “I’ll keep an eye on that.”
Katran raised his head crookedly, as if he was enjoying this situation.
I’m upset, but I have to check the news.
As Adela quickly gestured, the messenger caught his breath, took out a letter from his arms, and shouted.
“The East has advanced into the North!”
As expected, the words were as expected.
All the northern troops, including Adela, wrinkled their faces.
“Ha ha ha ha ha! “That’s good news!”
Katran laughed loudly.
But the messenger’s report was not over.
“And it is said that the eastern troops were annihilated by dragons!”
Suddenly, Katran’s laughter stopped.
