Chapter 187
Episode 187
“Is that it?”
The lake on the border of the fairy world was so large that it could be thought of as an ocean.
And in front of the lake, the swampy area where the Naga clan lived was vaguely revealed.
[It’s amazing that the two worlds are connected together.]
Lathea said, looking around the lake as if it was her first time in the fairy world.
[Because both the fairy and the naga can be said to have been born in the lake. It is no wonder that the two worlds have the lake as their starting point.]
[As far as I know, aren’t fairies born in the World Tree?]
[That’s right. But what is important is how the world tree grew. The world tree where the fairies were born grew up drinking water from that lake.]
Latea nodded at Gyu-ryu’s words.
[On the other hand, the Naga clan is a being born from the magic scattered by the lake’s explosion. I guess you could say they are the ones cursed by the lake.]
[The chosen ones and the abandoned ones… It makes sense that the Naga clan is obsessed with the lake.]
“Whether you understand it or not, in the end we It’s an enemy you have to fight. “There is no need to be tolerant of them.”
At Namgung’s words, they said nothing more.
Instead, I just looked at the Naga clan troops stationed on the other side of the lake.
[Keeeeeeeeeeee—!!!]
At that moment, a sharp dragon’s roar that seemed to tear the eardrums was heard.
[Could it be… the flying dragons have already arrived? Even if you open the gate of the plane and come to the lake… it won’t be easy to move not just one or two, but many troops.]
Gyu-ryu said, looking around the sky to find the location where the roar was coming from.
“Don’t be scared. Because it won’t be like that. “Maybe only the dragon was sent here first.”
Gyu Ryu nodded his head shyly at Namgung’s words.
[So… are you going to go to where the dragon is? Wouldn’t it be better to deal with the dragon first before the drake tribe comes?]
“No. “We are going to where the dragons are.”
[Do you really want to say hello?]
“The fact that the dragon has already arrived near the lake means that it too will soon receive the lake’s effects. “If that happens, there is no way to catch it without tools.”
[Ah….]
“There will definitely be a dragon tamer within the flying dragon army, so if you kill him and the dragon’s control is lifted, then the real dragon hunting will begin.”
[Okay.]
“Latea. ” “Can you tell me what the attributes of the dragon in the sky are?”
[It’s not a difficult task.]
After finishing the conversation with Gyu-ryu, Namgung gave her an order. As soon as she answered, Latea flew up around the lake at high speed.
[I found it.]
“What do you think?”
Some time passed and I heard her words.
[I can’t go any further because I feel like if I get closer, it will notice my presence, but… maybe because it’s an elder dragon, it’s huge. You can tell right away.]
“So what is the color of the scales?”
[Black.]
Namgung chuckled at her words.
“Just right.”
* * *
“Speed up!!!”
“We must gain a base before the Haein clan!!”
The sub-dragons of the flying dragon race running down the hill caught Namgung’s eyes.
The sub-dragon they are riding is called a pterosaur, which looks similar to a drake.
Instead of having wings, they had evolved legs and walked on four legs, looking like a mix between a dinosaur and a scorpion.
“It looks like we haven’t been able to tame the dragons yet. I was a little worried about dealing with an Elder Dragon… but I’m glad. Still, I think it’s worth dealing with.”
When the flying dragons could not be seen anywhere other than on the ground, Namgung sighed softly and nodded.
Of course, a flying pterodactyl alone was a strong enough monster, but the mere fact that they did not have a flying dragon could be considered a stroke of luck.
‘From what I remember, the dragon race rarely showed up at the carnival. The only time I saw them was at the end of the Octagon War…’
I could see why they were holding back when I saw the leader of the flying dragon race running at the front.
“It’s been a while since I last saw you. Mukan.”
The huge man standing on the back of the flying pterodactyl had a distinctly intimidating look, but the person Namgung was looking at was not him, but the man next to him with a boyish build.
‘His son Muhad.’
The Drake clan did not have a very strong position among the eight proxy clans.
However, after Mukan’s death, the moment Muhad ascended to the position of leader, they experienced rapid growth.
‘That’s because Muhad tamed the drake.’
It is unknown why Muhad was able to do something that could not be done in Mukan’s era, but in Namgung’s memory, the flying dragon tribe, as the name of the clan said, clearly became stronger after they controlled the flying dragon and subdued the sky.
‘It was worth rushing into the Octagon War.’
The Drake tribe without a drake was bound to be weak even if it had a dragon.
“Would you like to say hello?”
[…Huh?]
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…!
At that moment, soul soldiers were summoned around Namgung.
[Now wait a minute! No matter how much they are strengthened, there are only 5 of them! Can’t you see that number right now?]
Gyu-ryu shouted in surprise at Namgung’s words.
Just as he said, there were more than 500 flying dragons riding on pterosaurs at the bottom of the hill.
“I just said hello. don’t worry.”
Pat-
Namgung threw himself down the cliff.
[Ah-oh…! Really!]
Looking at his back, Gyu Ryu shook his head and jumped off the cliff.
Kwaaaaang—!!
Just before Namgung touched the ground, As fell to the ground first with a loud noise and supported his body.
[Crrrrrrr…!!]
At his sudden appearance, the flying pterodactyls were startled and flinched, and the troops following them became entangled.
“What?!”
“Everyone, prepare yourselves!!!”
“be careful!!”
Wow-!!
Amid the noisy cries of the flying dragons coming from behind, Namgung struck the head of the flying dragon in front of him with the [Gyemyeongsword].
[Keeeeek!!]
With the pterodactyl’s scream, Mukan, who was riding on it, stumbled and fell to the ground.
“father!!!”
Muhad jumped up from his seat at the sight.
Skang-!!
He pulled out the two crescent-shaped swords that were hanging behind his waist.
“…this guy!!!”
The sword gave off a flash of light and rushed towards Namgung.
Kang-! Kang!! Kaga River–!!
It was a relentless barrage of swords, but Namgung did not take a single step back and parried the attack.
“Even the Muhad of the world is still immature.”
“what?”
“Or have I become stronger?”
Crackle…!!
As the swords moved back and forth with each other interlocking, Muhad was only then able to identify the person who attacked him.
“Namgoong…!! A person who is a revealer of status is starting an octagonal war! “Are you crazy?”
“Although I am a revealer, I am also a contractor of the Yaksha clan. There’s nothing I can’t do in this war? “If you’re dissatisfied, why don’t you call your contractor too?”
“Tsk…!!”
Muhad frowned at Namgung’s words.
“We do not use contractors for self-interest like you do…! The surrogate clan is the ones who help contractors conquer the carnival more quickly and safely and guide the participants!”
“That sounds great, but… then why are you here if you just keep helping the contractor?”
“You call that a horse? “It’s all because of you!!”
Kaang—!!!
When Muhad stepped back and launched his dual swords, they flew towards Namgung like boomerangs.
“It’s because of me.”
The soul soldiers surrounding Namgung struck down Muhad’s sword.
“Aren’t you planning on pretending to participate and taking advantage of the weakened power of both sides to wipe them out with dragons?”
“…what?”
For a moment, Muhad looked at Namgoong with a stern face.
“In the end, there is only one winner of the Octagon War. They say they unite because there is a common enemy… Well? What about you once the enemy is gone? “How long will the bond of unity last?”
“shut up!!”
“Everyone probably has the same intention. “Through this battle, we will not only annihilate the enemy, but also weaken the power of other alliances.”
Namgung picked up the twin swords that had fallen on the floor and threw them at Muhad.
“The Naga clan has become stronger due to the power of the lake.”
Muhad glared at him as he picked up the sword that Namgung had thrown.
“What if the Nagas cut off the power of the lake? “Of the three clans of the alliance, which one will be targeted first?”
“….”
“Even if the buff disappears from the Sea Clan, they are a tribe that becomes stronger when there is water, so if they have a boat on the lake, they won’t lose easily. But what about you?”
Muhad gave no answer to Namgung’s question.
“I guess the reason we intentionally sent the dragon to the lake first was not only to defend the lake, but also to show off the power of the dragon race to the allied clans.”
Wiggle-
His cheek twitched.
“But listen carefully. It is foolish to trust only one dragon and be picky about it. “The Yasha clan is making harpoons for dragon hunting.”
“…so?”
“So what’s the point? “Even if we are defeated, we will at least kill your dragons.”
Muhad’s mind became confused.
If they lost the dragon, which was the only card of their clan, as Namgung said, they had no chance of winning the rest of the battle.
“Don’t be funny!! How dare you think someone like you can hunt an Elder Dragon!!”
Kwaaaaang—!!
At that moment, a huge javelin was thrown between Namgung and Muhad. The two people hastily stepped back.
“Masha!!!”
“Ah, father…! for a moment!!”
The person who threw the javelin was none other than Mukan.
When he called someone, Muhad could not hide his embarrassment.
‘It’s him.’
Namgung did not miss it.
“Call the dragon right now!! “Kill him here…!!”
It was then.
Mukan’s shouting stopped and the screams of the guards around the clan called ‘Masha’ were heard.
“A foolish leader is foolish until the end.”
Namgung ran past him.
“Damn it!! Stop him!!!”
Muhad shouted urgently, but at that moment, he could see sticky darkness descending beneath his feet.
▶ Soul Zone Lv 5 is activated.
Is it because the blood vessels were opened? Namgung’s level of necromancy had risen overall.
That much deeper darkness consumed the dead warriors of the dragon race.
“Hehehehe…?!”
The magician called Masha screamed with a pale face as she looked at the guards who had turned into undead soldiers and jumped out.
“Hwaaa!!”
Muhad swung his sword with all his might.
Kaaaaang–!!
His body bounced back with a light friction sound.
thud…!
As he struck the ground with a large axe, he blocked his path as if to show off.
▶ Soul Enhancement Lv 5 is activated.
▶ The abilities of all soul soldiers in the soul zone are temporarily strengthened.
▶ Duration: 10 minutes
As As’s ax was covered with dark red flames, Muhad was unable to easily penetrate inside.
“Call the dragon? That’s a good idea. Hey, did you say Marcia?”
Namgung said as he aimed his sword at the magician’s neck.
“Call me. Then there would be no need to make a harpoon.”
Gulp –
Masha swallowed dry saliva as the creepy blade touched her neck.
“I think it would be fun to kill a dragon by turning your clan into corpses.”
The size of the soul zone grew.
