Transcendent Warrior With A Dimensional Shifting Inventory 63

The expedition that escaped from the canyon entered the plains.

This place was a vast grassland with few trees and only grass.

Rumble, rumble-

The golem was pulling the wagon carrying Gaon.

The golem could easily pull the wagon alone, which required more than ten soldiers to move.

‘When will it come?’

Minhyuk was sitting on the wagon.

He wasn’t doing this because he didn’t want to walk.

It was to prepare for a surprise attack by the dragon that could come at any time.

It was perfect for the dragon to attack since it was far enough from Asdel Fortress and it was a wide plain.

‘If I were him, I would have ambushed here.’

Drip, drip-

Large raindrops began to fall.

The soldiers put on their poncho raincoats.

They were made to block flames, but since the leather of the monitor lizards was waterproof, they could also block rain.

Whoosh-

As time passed, the rain fell more and more heavily.

Later, it poured so heavily that it was hard to see ahead properly.

Whizzing-

In addition, the wind was blowing hard.

Rin, who was walking in the rear of the procession getting hit by the wind and rain, looked up at the sky.

“Did a hole open in the sky? What kind of weather is this?”

Tarman said to his daughter.

“Perhaps we have entered the boundary of the Overflow.”

“The boundary of the Overflow? Is there such a thing?”

The Overflow was not limited to just ＜Overflow of the Forest＞.

There were various types, such as desert floods, volcanic zone floods, and permafrost floods.

The place where different types of flood zones adjoined was called the ＜Flood Boundary＞.

“The weather conditions are usually very bad at the Flood Boundary.”

The clash of different types of magic caused severe weather phenomena at the Flood Boundary.

“So you mean that if we pass through here, we’ll see a completely different landscape?”

“I think so.”

Kwa-gwang-

Lightning began to strike.

Whiiiiiing-

A whirlwind mixed with rain reached up to the sky.

It was daytime, but it was as dark as if a mythical monster had swallowed the sun.

However, the expedition did not stop.

They walked and walked through the rain and wind.

And finally, they passed through the Flood Boundary.

Then, as if by magic, the sky cleared up.

And before the soldiers’ eyes, a landscape they had never seen before unfolded.

Shiny, shiny-

The whole world was sparkling.

Various metals were scattered across the vast wasteland.

Ores such as iron, copper, silver, and gold were exposed on the ground.

Professor Raymon told Minhyuk.

“This is a mineral flood.”

Decades ago, there were many people who explored outside the territory of Kaho.

So some of the explorers had come to this place.

When they returned to Asdel Fortress, they drank honey wine and told stories of their adventures, and someone wrote down their stories in a book.

“There is a place where there is a mountain of gold and a river of mercury, according to the book. Maybe this is the place.”

There were more ores than other places, but it was not to that extent.

Perhaps the explorers enjoyed exaggerating as much as fishermen.

Minhyuk asked the golem.

“What was it like before?”

It had been over 100 years since the golem fell into the basin.

That was before the flood occurred.

[When I last passed through here, it was an ordinary meadow with trees and grass.]

Boing, boing-

Unseen beasts appeared from somewhere and approached the expedition.

＜Elephant frogs have been detected.＞

＜Killing an elephant frog will earn you 3 minutes of return time.＞

Bullfrogs are not actually the size of bulls.

However, the elephant frogs of this world were indeed the size of elephants.

And there were chunks of metal embedded in their bodies here and there.

The 3-minute return time put it in the same league as the Giant Duck.

＜You can obtain a Magic Bead by killing the Elephant Frog.＞

＜You can obtain various metals by killing the Elephant Frog.＞

＜The Elephant Frog spits acidic liquid.＞

＜The Elephant Frog captures its prey with a sticky tongue.＞

Acidic liquid and a sticky tongue.

It would be a very difficult opponent to face in close combat.

But it didn’t matter.

All of the soldiers were armed with ranged weapons.

“Fire!”

Thwip, thwip, thwip-

The soldiers fired arrows at the frogs.

The bows they used were a combination of modern compound bow technology grafted onto bows made to injure dragons.

The arrowheads were made of Star Metal.

＜A soldier under your command has killed an Elephant Frog. You have been rewarded with 3 minutes of return time.＞

＜A soldier under your command has killed an Elephant Frog. You have been rewarded with 3 minutes of return time.＞

.

.

The indiscriminate fire from the soldiers wiped out the frogs in an instant.

Minhyuk ordered his soldiers to extract the Magic Beads from the frogs’ bodies.

＜Large, Low-Grade Magic Bead＞

It was the same size and grade as the Magic Bead found inside the Giant Duck.

Minhyuk put the Magic Bead in the refrigerator.

Just like the duck’s bead, the frog’s bead also transformed into a rifle.

For now, he piled the Magic Beads high on the wagon.

“Your Majesty!”

The officer in charge of communications ran up to Minhyuk and reported.

“A dragon has passed over Fort Tamirn.”

“What direction is it flying in?”

“It’s headed this way.”

Minhyuk jumped to his feet and shouted.

“All troops, prepare for battle!”

Boom, boom, boom-

As the drums sounded, all the soldiers nocked arrows onto their bowstrings.

Tamirn Fortress was about 100km away as the crow flies.

It had taken the expedition three days to get here, but it was a very short distance for a dragon.

A moment later,

Swoosh-

They heard the sound of something cutting through the air.

The sound was familiar to the soldiers’ ears.

At the same time as the sound, the dragon revealed its figure.

However, it did not immediately attack the expedition.

It flew in circles very high in the sky where arrows could not reach.

Professor Raymon examined the dragon with a telescope and said,

“It’s the Akara dragon that attacked us last time.”

Balin asked Professor Raymon,

“But why isn’t it attacking?”

“It seems to be using its Appraisal ability to examine our side.”

Raymon’s guess was correct.

The dragon was acting more cautiously than last time.

Last time, Taydon’s heart was too eager, and in the end, it made the mistake of recklessly rushing in and getting caught in a trap.

Today, it did not have a specific target, so it was not aiming for the expedition.

It just wanted to avenge the humiliation it suffered last time.

It would burn to death every single human there, including the red-haired man who dared to wound it, leaving none alive.

Whoosh-

The dragon gathered flames in its mouth.

It was furious as it recalled the events of last time.

The dragon looked down at the line of humans and cast a draconic spell.

Its eyesight was enhanced, and the wagon carrying Gaon and the golems pulling it appeared magnified as if they were right before its nose.

It figured out the magical effects imbued in them with its Appraisal ability.

The golems were not much of a threat to the dragon.

They did not possess powerful attack magic, and they were made of dwarven ingots, so they could not physically harm it.

The dragon fixed its gaze on Gaon.

It was a magical tool capable of teleportation.

The moment it saw Gaon, the dragon figured out the humans’ shallow trick.

If it initiated an attack, the humans would use their bows to contain it and use Gaon to escape..

Perhaps the other end of Gaon was within the territory of Gahho.

If the humans teleported into Gahho’s territory, it would be like a dog chasing its own tail.

It could not suffer another humiliation at the hands of the lowly humans.

So, it would take Gaon first.

Thinking up to that point, the dragon turned its attention to the wagon where Gaon was.

It wondered if the cunning humans, knowing that it would aim for Gaon, had once again rigged the wagon like last time.

It had overlooked that part last time and fallen into a trap.

The dragon carefully appraised the wagon.

However, there was no trap hidden this time.

So, there was no need to hesitate.

Swish-

The dragon flew at full speed toward the wagon to snatch Gaon.

“Fire!”

Thwack-thwack-

The soldiers shot arrows at the flying dragon.

However, their forces were weaker than during the Theidon expedition.

Moreover, the dragon had a new defense mechanism that it didn’t have before.

Clang-

A faint light radiated from the dragon’s entire body.

It had deployed a protective barrier.

The dragon had prepared a lot to avenge its previous humiliation.

However, that didn’t mean it had learned new magic.

It took hundreds of years at the shortest, or even over a thousand years at the longest, to master a single dragon language magic.

The dragon used a magic scroll.

The barrier created by the scroll wasn’t perfect.

It could only block physical attacks below a certain level.

However, it was enough to block the arrows that the soldiers were shooting.

Ting-

Ting-ting-

The arrows bounced off the physical barrier.

The dragon easily broke through the arrows and approached Kaon.

Swish-

As Minhyuk activated Kaon, a curtain of light was created.

Watching the scene, the dragon thought.

The red-haired man was trying to escape.

It couldn’t kill him if he ran away that quickly.

However, that was a satisfying revenge in its own way.

Not everyone could escape anyway.

It would kill all the remaining subordinates.

Surviving by escaping alone would be an unforgettable humiliation for the leader of the humans.

This time, it would be satisfied with giving him the humiliation, and next time, it would give him certain death.

However,

All of that was the dragon’s delusion.

Minhyuk hadn’t activated Kaon to escape with Blink.

Minhyuk used Durango’s Twin Rings to give an order to General Drake in Asdel Fortress.

“Fire!”

Boom-

Then, a giant arrow burst out through the curtain of light with fierce force.

Thud-

The arrow pierced the dragon’s wing as it approached Kaon.

A smile spread across Minhyuk’s lips.

‘Kaon is the most powerful long-range weapon.’

The arrow that had just been fired from Kaon had been shot by the archers of Asdel Fortress.

“Keep firing!”

Thwack-

At Minhyuk’s signal, the archers launched their arrows toward Kaon.

Then, the arrows teleported and flew toward the dragon.

The arrows were much longer than a person’s height.

Large bows were specially made to threaten the dragon.

A large bow was fixed on a heavy stand, and five archers pulled the bowstring together.

Of course, the power of the arrow was incomparably stronger than that of a normal arrow.

That’s why it could even penetrate the physical barrier created by the scroll.

Ten such large bows were installed in front of Kaon in Asdel Fortress.

Since the arrows were long, it took a long time to load and shoot one, but with 10 bows, they could shoot very quickly in succession.

Thwack-thwack-thwack-

Arrows of formidable power were fired continuously through Kaon.

Crash-

The bewildered dragon changed its flight direction.

Then, Minhyuk turned Kaon’s direction toward it.

The mount holding Kaon could rotate in all directions and also bend up and down.

It was modeled after a heavy machine gun mount that could shoot in any direction.

hahahaha!

Minhyuk turned Kaon here and there like aiming at an enemy plane with an anti-aircraft gun and continued to shoot huge arrows at the dragon.

Bam-

One arrow was properly lodged in the dragon’s side.

‘Nice!’

The arrowhead made of star metal pierced the dragon’s hide, dug between the ribs, and stabbed its internal organs.

Kee-eeek-

The dragon screamed in extreme pain.
