Chapter 45 – Long Day (4)
A figure abruptly rose from the terrifying waves of magical power.
The well-groomed female body was certainly attractive, but there was no room for misunderstanding as a human being because of the bloody atmosphere.
The Tiamat I remember looked a bit more dignified, but I’ve never seen him in person, so I’m not sure.
“Hey, is she really Tiamat?”
“The atmosphere is similar… But something is weak.”
“!”
The unidentified boss opened his eyes wide when he found Alice standing next to me.
In the next moment, the murderous intent seething from the whole body attacked us in the form of magical power.
Apparently, he recognized Alice.
I threw a grenade to block the incoming waves.
Green dust was used minimally, but it was enough to block such a diffuse attack.
Wow!
Waves of green embers and magic power collided in the air and shone brightly.
Right after that, the body that had been submerged in the waves swelled greatly.
The one who revealed his true form in the sea fog roared, revealing the dragon’s head.
“Yeriel Frost’s colleague! You can’t forget me!”
“Did he actually talk?”
“No.”
Alice also raised her pocket watch with a very puzzled face.
However, her ability and mine were very badly matched.
In the first place, there are few abilities that are compatible with my ability.
“Hey, get rid of the green dust!”
“Let’s spread aside.”
“Great.”
Parbat! Wickedness!
As soon as we parted, the shadow flew into the bell like a guillotine.
The asphalt road that accepted the blade was not broken, but neatly cut.
The road was dug deep without any noise whatsoever.
Looking at the cut surface, I guessed the identity of the ability.
‘Erasing with a shadow or sucking it up? It’s one of Tiamat’s abilities.’
As Tiamat was the strongest raid boss in history, studies on her abilities were actively conducted.
That’s the ability of the black hair that was considered the most difficult among Tiamat’s heads!
I asked Alice while blocking the flying blade with the green dust dagger.
The high-purity green dust crystal erased the blade of the shadow before it even touched it.
“Hey, how did you catch that in the past?”
“I freeze it with my sister’s stopping ability and die. I’ve never had my black hair properly. I froze it from start to finish.”
“This…”
Did Yeriel judge that that ability was the most threatening?
In fact, it can be considered the strongest among the six heads.
But it’s not a bit of a struggle with only one head.
I clicked my tongue inwardly when I saw that the gemstone-like green dust dagger had been slightly chipped.
After all, it is not a catalyst, but a kind of consumable, so it is unfavorable for a long-term battle.
Originally, the higher the purity, the longer it lasts, but the opponent’s magical power is too strong.
[Master. Allied escorts are approaching.]
“Don’t come! You’ll get caught up in it. I’ll end it quickly anyway.”
[All right.]
I spoke to the oracle while avoiding the black dragon that was rapidly closing the distance.
Alice, who had completely distanced herself from me, used her abilities in earnest, but was terribly swallowed by the shadows before being summoned.
Most of Alice’s summons rose from the ground, so the compatibility was very bad.
The black dragon, which can easily jump over a large bus, chased after me without delay.
“Quaaaaa!”
Thump, thump! Wow…
A level of weight that smashes the road with every step you take.
If it sticks properly, it will never withstand anything, whether it is a heavily armored combat uniform.
The black dragon lunged forward, twisting his head slightly to the side and attempting a bite.
I narrowly avoided it and drew a long slash at my side with my dagger.
Chow!
Scale armor that splits like tofu as soon as it touches the skin.
But I couldn’t be happy.
A single blow consumed half of the blade, but it did not inflict a fatal wound.
The difference in weight class was so great that the blade could not reach the vital points.
It was just that life was not affected… The pain seemed considerable, and the black dragon struggled greatly.
Even in the midst of my urgency, I fully respect asked Alice.
“I know he’s the best with you, but can you help me a little bit?”
“Come out!”
Normally, Alice, who would have said something unpleasant at once, deftly ignored my words and carried out the summoning.
Still, as if it was worth spending some time earlier, the weight class is different from the killer rabbit.
What was summoned along with the halo was a huge dragon with red eyes.
“Is it Jabberwock?”
“It’s the only flying type among my summons.”
The grotesque and imposing Jabberwock had wings to keep it from being swallowed by the shadows.
As soon as the two dragons saw each other, they screamed and charged at each other.
Thanks to that, I gained a little bit of time, and without hesitation, I took out my secret weapon.
Alice, who joined me after charging the Jabber Walk, saw it and her eyes trembled.
“What, what is that?”
She couldn’t help but be embarrassed.
The piece of green dust I took out this time was far from being of high purity, and was extremely cloudy.
Defective product with poor quality even if you look at it.
I excused myself with a slight embarrassment.
“Because I can’t just pick out luxury items every time, right? On days when I’m not feeling well, something like this comes out from time to time.”
“Why are you failing to draw right now…”
“It wasn’t just picked.”
“What? Then why did you bring defective products?”
“Don’t worry too much. Defective items have their own ways to use them.”
Cooong!
Unfortunately, the Jabberwake blocking the Black Dragon did not last long.
Still, this is enough.
I pushed Alice back and took aim while holding a lump of defective green dust in my right hand.
The black dragon, noticing something suspicious, rushed toward me again.
“Quar!”
As the earth shook, I threw the green dust forward and hurriedly flew away.
“Harm!”
“What?!”
Keying!
Immediately after holding Alice and running to the side.
An intense heat wave rushed from behind.
The black dragon, swept away by the murderous storm, struggled and let out a painful scream.
“Kuaa!”
The noise and heat of the storm swallowed up even his screams.
Even though I’m wearing a heavy armored combat uniform, I feel like my back is burning hot.
If I hadn’t stopped it, Alice would have suffered severe burns.
Fortunately, we only received a little bit of residual heat, but that’s about it.
“Wow, wow!”
Coo woo…
After barely entering the corner, I forced Alice into my arms as she was about to stick her head out.
“Don’t go out. You will be exposed to radiation.”
“What? Could that be something like nuclear fission?”
“No, it’s not that grandiose… Rather, it’s like a fission product.”
Alice picked up the tune pretty well.
In fact, the defective green dust that I had just taken out was an item that was more radioactive than usual.
I explained the rough principle while listening to the sound of the black dragon’s life waning.
“Originally, the radiation of green dust is not very lethal to the human body, and even that is relatively weak. The half-life is about 10 years or more.
“Well, then that defective item…”
“It’s a defective product with extremely high radioactivity. It’s as if it doesn’t have the original function of Green Dust, which is to break the covalent bond of mana, but as a radioactive material, the danger is much higher.”
Radioactive materials, including green dust, decay slowly even if left alone…
In not a few cases, this process is accompanied by the development of high fever.
Still, it’s not to the point where it can be used as a weapon.
The half-life of green dust is about 10 years or more.
Of course, this is also very short for radioactive materials, but it belongs to a fairly long axis among high-level radioactive waste.
So I used my ability to accelerate the disintegration of the defective Green Dust.
“The amount that should have flowed out slowly over 10 or 20 years is compressed in one second and burst out.”
“Three, oh my god…”
As you can see, its power is enough to destroy an estimated S rank raid boss in one blow.
It wasn’t that I was confident that I could turn Seoul into a land of death for nothing.
I was relieved to look at the detailed figures even as I watched the Geiger counter in my combat uniform crying like crazy.
“It’s much lower than expected. The black dragon’s body absorbed most of the radiation. If hunters specializing in radiation suppression come, it will be easy to deal with it.”
[Is this the Green Burst you’ve only heard about?]
“Green Burst?”
“Matthew called it that. I’m not a big deal. By the way, Blanche, haven’t you already seen it as a video material?”
[Seeing it in person like this is different.]
“It’s the same video material for you anyway…”
[It’s too much! Still, not really knowing the outcome is very exciting. I guess this is the power of direct viewing that people say.]
“Is that so?”
I finally let go of Alice and picked up a part of the black dragon’s head that had rolled in nearby.
The black dragon, swept away by the superheated storm, couldn’t even leave a corpse intact.
At least the intact body part is burning black and emitting acrid smoke, and not even a trace of the limbs can be found.
The center of the asphalt completely melted and almost evaporated, and the edges became liquid or glassy.
Originally, I wonder if asphalt melted so cleanly.
“Whoa, what was that guy anyway? Was he really part of Tiamat?”
“I’m sure it was Tiamat once.”
The moment Alice, who had been hugging me, didn’t say anything even though her face was blushing.
The sensor in the battle suit started beeping again.
Blanche quickly returned to her serious tone.
[A similar magic pattern approach as before! However, the response is much weaker.]
“You’re coming again?”
Clap!
As we got back into battle, a blonde woman emerged from the corner.
He was much shorter than the Black Dragon from before, and had a poor body.
The guy with a mischievous yet evil smile saw us slightly tired and chatted happily.
“Are you tired of this monster wave? S-rank hunters are pathetic.”
“…”
It showed much better language skills than the previous black dragon, but it was not very welcome.
I looked down at him with a hopeless heart.
A gorgeously dressed blonde woman even had her little horns and tail.
‘Is this also one of Tiamat’s heads?’
“Is it gold this time?”
“Ah, what is it? Have you already met someone else?”
A blonde who covers her mouth slightly and pretends to be surprised.
I stepped forward in preparation for him transforming into a dragon.
Still, this guy seemed to be someone I could talk to, so I tried to get some information.
“What are you guys? Are you really the Tiamat Legion?”
“You can’t see it? I am Tiamat itself, you stupid hunter!”
Unfortunately, the blonde dragon stretched out his chest and displayed his temper.
Thankfully, the guy blew his information.
“The scars inflicted on that terrifying woman last time caused all six of her heads her to detach. Thanks to her her, this body was barely freed from her other violent sisters her. To be honest, I’m a bit grateful.”
“Oh yeah?”
Did these guys have a different ego for each head?
I’m sure you’ve seen such a hypothesis in a research report.
Anyway, it’s fortunate that Tiamat, who was defeated by Yeriel, has become so weak.
Now, I can easily do it on my own.
When I raised my hand slightly to get rid of the golden hair, the eyes of the blonde moved behind me and Alice.
The guy who found the black dragon’s huge corpse became a bit bewildered.
“Now… Wait a minute. What is that?”
“Can’t you see it? One of your ‘wild sisters’.”
As I respected his expression her, the blonde’s eyes her fluctuated greatly.
The guy, who flinched in place, asked cautiously once more.
“Was it white by any chance?”
“Why, it seems that white is the weakest among you guys?”
“Oh, no?! It’s not really like that…”
The blonde, who shook her head vigorously in response, seemed really incapable of lying.
I let out a small sigh and threw the fragment of the black dragon’s head.
Noticing her head her twisted in pain and her eye sockets seared from the heat, the blonde stopped moving and fell silent for a moment.
“…”
Was it a bit too much to throw away the corpses of family members anyway?
The moment I was preparing for a battle with the enraged bastard with a small regret.
The boy suddenly raised his hands upwards.
“Surrender!”
“What?”
“I’ll surrender to you! Please treat mefully respect according to the Geneva Convention!”
“…”
The frightened blonde’s face didn’t look like she was joking.
Alice and I looked at each other in complete bewilderment.
