Chapter 194
Episode 194
Kuung…!!
[The dragon has fallen!! Take out the dragon core from its body!! With that, the power of the lake is maximized!!]
The Naga Queen shouted as she stood over the fallen Elder Dragon, who was breathing lightly.
Wow—!!!
The Naga warriors raised their weapons and cheered at her words.
[This is the beginning of a counterattack!! Wipe them out with the power of the lake!!!]
Pow! Poop!!!
Countless blades cut into the dragon’s body. The scales that had lost their strength fell off, and when the huge belly was cut open, there was a sparkling gem inside.
“Isn’t it such a waste to drop the dragon heart into the lake?”
[Who is it!!]
When Namgung’s voice was heard, the warriors of the Naga clan hurriedly raised their weapons.
[Crumbling….]
Surprisingly, the sight of them walking leisurely on the surface of the water and looking down at them from a huge mountain goat made it difficult for him to muster up the courage to approach them even though he was alone.
[You… are you planning to ruin the carnival by waking up the Reaper?]
“The one I woke up was not the Reaper. These are the vengeful spirits of the elves that were sleeping in the lake. “They just became reapers themselves for revenge.”
Namgung got off Natriel and looked at the queen.
“There is no need for me to stop someone who wants revenge. Especially if the target is the same.”
[Reaper’s are beings who accompany death. As long as they exist, there will never be life. Because of you, many carnival participants will eventually die.]
“Don’t worry. Because I am closer to death than them. “I will not let anyone touch death.”
Queen Naga laughed coldly at Namgung’s words.
[Only one human being?]
“Not just one human being.”
Namgung
slowly walked towards the Naga Queen who was standing on the dragon’s corpse.
“I’m doing it.”
Kwaaaaang—!!
The warriors of the Naga clan around him all jumped out.
[Stop him!! Quickly, extract the dragon core!!!]
Knowing what Namgung was aiming for, the queen hurriedly shouted to her subordinates.
[Uuuuu-!!!]
But at that moment, Natriel raised her head and started running while roaring.
Kwaang!!!
A large mountain goat’s horn struck the soldiers surrounding the dragon.
[Ugh…!!!]
[Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah…!!]
With a loud roar, the soldiers fell to Natriel’s attack.
[Uuuuu…!!!]
As Natriel roared once again, stems began to sprout under his feet.
Dozens of vines wrapped around the fallen soldiers.
[Attack!!]
The wizards of the clan in the rear began to memorize runes.
Kugggggg….
As dark clouds appeared in the sky, dozens of lightning strikes fell on Natriel’s head in an instant.
bang! bang!!! Quagga River!!!
“…!!”
Namgung could not hide his surprised expression at the magic of the wizards, which was stronger than expected.
Because it was not only warriors who became stronger due to the effects of the lake.
[Pooh-]
But that surprise was short-lived as Natriel stood shaking her head as if nothing had happened at the spot where dozens of lightning strikes had struck.
[No way….]
The Naga clan’s wizards couldn’t believe Natriel, who seemed unharmed even after being hit by their magic.
“Before he became a soul soldier, he was a primordial spirit. For a being with the power to create the world to use elemental magic… Don’t you think it’s foolish to think so?”
[Ugh….]
The vines that grew around Natriel rose up like snakes and were wary of the wizards.
“If you use magic again, vines will pierce your heads.”
Namgung’s voice was not loud, but his words were clearly heard by the wizards.
The wizards could not easily stop him as he walked towards the dragon’s corpse.
[You idiots…! What are you doing!!]
The queen gritted her teeth and pulled out her spear at the sight of the frozen soldiers.
[Put that down!!!]
The moment Namgung took out the large dragon core from the dragon’s corpse, the queen’s spear attacked him.
Kwazizig…!!
Every time she swung her spear, white sparks flashed.
[The Octagon War has become a mess because of you!! I will never forgive you!]
“Isn’t this a good excuse for you guys? “Even if I hadn’t stepped up, I would have lost anyway.”
[Funny sound!!]
Boom-!!!
The Naga Queen slammed the spear she was holding on the ground with all her might. Then, dozens of sharp wind blades were created around her.
Shukang-!!!
As the blades cut through the wind and aimed at Namgung, black smoke appeared in front of him.
thud-! Kaga River—!!
The spirit soldiers went out and blocked the queen’s blade.
The Naga Queen’s expression hardened slightly at their appearance.
[Hmph, your words and actions are not the same! The theme of the octagon war is using only the power of the Revelator…! If you participated in this war as a contractor, you should only use the power of a contractor!]
Stop.
At that moment, Namgung’s arm, which had been deflecting the attack, stopped, and the Queen’s spear also stopped.
“You said that… seriously?”
[What is it?]
“It’s funny to hear something like that from a guy who has lightning striking the back of his head.”
The Queen’s face turned red at Namgung’s words.
[Kaaaaah—!!!]
The moment her spear approached, Namgung strengthened the hand holding the dragon core.
Jeokjeok… Jeokjeok…
The dragon core in his hand gradually began to crack.
[No!!!!]
Right before the Queen’s spear reaches Namgung! With a sound, the dragon core shattered into pieces.
The moment the dragon core broke, the elder dragon trembled and fell down.
When even the faint sound of breathing could no longer be heard, Namgung used the technique as if he had been waiting.
▶ The magical power contained within the dragon heart seeps into you.
The magic power flowing from the dragon core was so thick that even Namgung, who had no magic power, could not breathe.
▶ It does not possess magical power, so it cannot absorb the magical power of the Dragon Heart.
▶ The magical power of the Dragon Heart begins to oxidize.
But even for a moment, the magical power that filled his surroundings quickly turned into powder and began to disappear.
‘It’s a shame… but what I needed was the death of the Elder Dragon anyway.’
As long as the dragon core remains, the dragon will not die.
[Uuuuu…!!]
The moment I was looking at the magic flowing down like sand slipping out of my hands,
I heard Natriel’s cries.
“…!!!”
Surprisingly, the magic power within the dragon core seemed to have responded to his cries, and the powder that had disappeared began to emit light once again.
▶ Magic power is replaced by the power of the Primordial Spirit.
▶ Magical power → Primal power
▶ Primal power reacts with your blood vessels.
▶ Can absorb raw power.
▶ Do you want to absorb it?
Namgung could not hide his surprised expression as he looked at the magic powder that had turned into fluffy foam.
“Did you have this kind of ability?”
[Crying]
When Natriel lightly licked the back of his hand, he felt all the nerves in his body tense up.
▶ Primal power transforms the body through the effect of blood vessel art – strength.
▶ We have awakened to the power of the most precious natural forces.
▶ Hyeolmaeksul evolves to the next level.
As the bubbles rushed into his body, the blood vessels in his entire body expanded along with a flood of notifications, and he felt a new power rushing into him.
But the power was never rough.
Instead of the wave-like power I felt when using the Elder Lich’s Spirit Stone, I felt warmth encompassing my entire body.
And that warmth expanded Namgung’s blood vessels even more.
▶ Hyeolmaeksul – I have awakened to Yu (柔).
▶ Increased understanding of the power of heteromorphism.
▶ Abilities increase.
▶ Necromancy (Upper Intermediate) → (Advanced)
▶ Your necromancy ability increases significantly.
A purple light flashed on Namgung’s arms.
▶ Soul Eye has become Lv 10 (maximum).
▶ Soul absorption has reached Lv 10 (maximum).
▶ Soul Ministry has reached Lv 10 (maximum).
▶ Abilities that have reached their maximum can be graded in the Three Poison Gate.
‘…Grade evolution?’
In his previous life, he had reached advanced necromancy, but was unable to raise his three abilities to their maximum.
So, of course, it was the first time I learned that abilities can be evolved.
“I just came to serve the dragon… but I got an unexpected benefit.”
Namgung lightly stroked Natriel’s hair.
“I was lucky.”
If I hadn’t met the elves below the lake first, I wouldn’t have been able to obtain the magic power of the dragon core.
[What is this….]
The Naga Queen, who was well versed in magic, sensed that the power flowing from Namgung’s body was unusual.
‘Dangerous.’
She glared at him and broke the three beads embedded in her forehead.
[Female Queen…!!]
The clan shouted as if they were surprised by her actions.
▶ The Orb of Fury has been broken.
▶ The physical abilities of all soldiers of the Naga clan increase.
▶ The scales of all soldiers of the Naga clan are strengthened, increasing their defense.
[We must catch him no matter what!]
Using the bead that was stuck in the queen’s forehead was like taking her life away.
The fact that he pulled out a move that was like a last resort also meant that he was desperate.
[Attack everyone!!!!]
Is it because of her sacrifice?
The soldiers of the Naga clan rushed towards Namgung once again.
Puck –
But even for a moment, the head of the warrior who was rushing towards him with excitement exploded.
[…!!]
“The level has evolved… I want to go to the Three Dogs Gate and check it out right away, but I have to finish what needs to be completed and take what needs to be taken.”
[Huh, how… The scales must have been strengthened by the Orb of Fury?]
Although only one person died, the sight of the soldier who died so vainly not only broke the morale of not only the warriors but also the queen.
“No matter how much you cover it with scales, you can see it. “It’s a weakness.”
Namgung spoke to the queen.
“Your weaknesses too.”
He grabbed the queen by the throat and put his fingers into her mouth.
[Woof…?!]
Then, as she tapped her molars, which were sharp and protruding like awls, with her finger, the queen swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.
[Detecting weakness…? The carnival hasn’t even started yet, so how could that rune…]
She saw one of Namgung’s eyes turn golden and then disappear.
But now I feel like it’s foolish to even ask such questions anymore.
[…Monster.]
There is no other way to describe the enemy in front of you other than those words.
“I take it as a compliment.”
Namgung raised his hand towards the fallen Elder Dragon, leaving behind the queen who had lost her will to fight.
“Answer.”
His voice echoed across the battlefield.
