Chapter 604 – Dragon Raid (2)
Irina Borisovna Orlova.
A world-famous Russian S-class hunter.
The owner of Wego Weapon, a weapon imbued with ego, along with Greece’s Aegis and Britain’s Excalibur.
His nickname as a hunter is ‘Boris’, a short form of ‘Borislav’, which means ‘glory of war’.
In a situation where the survival of the country was at stake due to an attack by thousands of monsters pouring out of a crack, she suddenly appeared and saved Russia, earning her an honorable title.
Her routine was very simple.
Overlooking the snow-covered lands of her homeland from the enormous castle-like mansion built for her, the hero of her country’s salvation and her protector.
Then, when the dungeon is created, go in and attack it, and when the villain appears, chase it and kill it.
On days when nothing happens, I just immerse myself in peace, quietly close my eyes and face the next day.
An extremely monotonous, isolated life.
Someone asks.
Isn’t it boring to live like that?
Don’t you want to talk to someone, eat, or play?
That was wrong.
She is always talking, eating together, and playing a little bit.
With none other than the self that resides in my sword, Snow Bringer.
Chessboard placed on the table.
She stabs at the sword placed across from her.
“It’s not that difficult of a move, so why does it take so long?”
It’s already been 1 minute.
Even in a cornered situation, an opponent who has never used it for more than 15 seconds rarely moves.
So she got up and put her hand on her sword.
My face crumples as I feel the cold touch.
“… “This?”
I don’t feel it.
His ego that should reside in the sword.
It comes to mind at the same time.
An incident from a few years ago when he suddenly disappeared somewhere and then reappeared.
He said.
-“I went to have fun for a while. There’s a guy who does something quite interesting.”
It was a first time.
The fact that he is interested in others rather than himself.
Even leaving my side.
He smiled inexplicably and spoke again.
-“I’d like to introduce you to you someday. “I think it will be a pretty good picture.”
Thanks to you, I became curious.
Who is the person who caught the attention of that noble being?
I wanted to ask her in many ways, but she didn’t.
‘I said I would introduce it, so it won’t be too late to see it then.’
Since he said so, whether it is late or early, the meeting with that being is a promise.
I decided to put my curiosity aside for then.
Quite a bit of time passed like that.
Her interest in the existence was slowly fading away, both for her and for the Snow Bringer.
The same thing happened.
The person who was my chess opponent disappeared without a word.
“… Are they the same person?”
Probably so.
It is not easy for two similar incidents to happen to different people.
Quietly putting down her sword, she returned to the chair across from her and sat down to wait.
I hope he comes back.
After some time had passed.
『Sorry for leaving your seat during chess.』
His voice was heard.
It looks like he just returned from a meeting.
“Is it him again? “Something that aroused your interest in the past.”
『Yes, that’s right. I’m sure he was just a kid at the time, but he became a big deal while I didn’t even see him.』
At his praise, which exceeded her expectations, her cold eyes, as if carved from ice, caught my attention.
“… “A big guy?”
Even though we’ve been together for a long time, she still doesn’t know much about that existence.
However, one thing I learned is that he must have had great skills in the past.
That is why the evaluation of others, including oneself, is very, very, very harsh.
The word ‘tycoon’ comes from such a person.
After the lights go out, a small fire sparks in her interest, which had cooled off.
“Then you told me. I said I would meet you someday. Furthermore, I think the time has come.”
Rather than asking, I wanted to see.
What kind of person is this?
How strong.
Also, what kind of mysterious abilities are you dealing with?
When she secretly fussed, Snow Bringer responded.
『They already suggested it to you.』
Her head tilts.
“… Proposal? What is it?”
He responded to her intense curiosity.
『If you want to participate in the Dragon Raid, come see me.』
“… Dragon Raid?”
A crack appeared on his face that was colder than the harsh cold that enveloped Russia.
* * *
The selection process is over.
No matter how young the opponent is, he is a dragon.
In order to deal with the enemy called the scourge of mankind, you must form the strongest party.
The people I called in that way are, at least as far as I know, the best experts.
First of all, Han Joo-yeon.
She arrived at the Vatican before anyone else, and as soon as she saw me, she ran over and hugged me.
In a place where it was just the two of them, he started nagging.
“Does my brother-in-law have any ideas or not?! It’s a dragon raid. The dragon is not some kind of local goblin… !”
“No, it’s not like there are goblins in the neighborhood…”
“Be quiet!”
“Yes.”
Did they say you can’t fool blood?
At times like this, she looks just like my sister, very much.
I listened obediently to the barrage of nagging.
And then we had sex.
Very soft.
So that the other person’s emotions are colored only with pleasure.
In my experience, that was the only way to get rid of the emotional rift that arose between us.
After I finished making love to her, she lay down on her wet bed and complained while being held in my arms.
“Ha…, Really. If you’re going to do it, prepare thoroughly. “If my brother-in-law dies, I will die too.”
“Okay, okay.”
This solved the problem.
Angela decided to be together right away, so it was okay.
The next person to come was Old Man Merlin.
As soon as he arrived, he started swearing.
“Do you have depression at all?”
“I don’t have anything like that.”
“Then why are you trying to commit suicide? “I’m not even alone, I’m hugging everyone around me.”
Even if I say that, definitely.
“Didn’t we invite them here because they were worth catching? To be honest, you thought it was worth a try, so you came here using all your magic.”
“Hmm…”
Old Merlin swallows and closes his mouth.
It seems like he has nothing to say, but doesn’t want to admit it.
I guess I need to break it once before I start.
“And I wasn’t going to say this, old man.”
“What do you mean?”
“When are you going to let me use space magic?”
“Well, that is.”
Old man Merlin is greatly embarrassed.
Looking at his expression, it looks like something isn’t going his way.
I throw a threat at him.
“We don’t have much time now, old man. “If you don’t give me good news soon, I’ll come visit you in person, really.”
The old man asks, his face slightly white.
“… “What are you going to do when you come here?”
“Whatever.”
I continue speaking while smiling as grimly as possible.
“I’ll leave that to your imagination, hehe.”
“…”
A face that hardens.
I don’t know what you’re imagining, but it seems like the threat worked.
“Okay…, I will handle it properly, so don’t even go near England, you disaster bastard.”
“…”
Seup.
I feel a bit bad.
What did I do that I have to hear about the disaster?
“Anyway…, For now, don’t follow what you say. But know one thing.”
“Please speak.”
“I will never step forward unless I have sufficient strength and plan to do it.”
“That’s natural.”
“Hmph, I need to get some rest.”
Old man Merlin walks away at a faltering pace.
Even though he speaks like an old man, he is definitely capable of one thing.
His space magic can be helpful in many ways when fighting dragons.
For example, fixing the wings to make it impossible to engage in aerial combat.
Something like sending the breath pouring directly at us into a completely different space.
It can also be used as a means of escape in case of an emergency.
There are endless things you can do.
It’s not for nothing that space magic is considered Britain’s pride.
“Okay, then we’re almost there.”
Almost everyone who could come has come.
Now there is only one person left.
In some ways, the most important person.
“Will he really come?”
I’ve conveyed the message well, but it’s not easy to predict whether she will come all the way here.
He is famous for not leaving his home country in the first place.
Moreover, he is famous for never paying attention to places that do not interest him.
If dragon raids aren’t her thing…, There is a high probability that it will not come.
“What… “If you wait, you will get the answer.”
If it comes, it will come.
If you don’t come…, At that time, we had no choice but to activate Plan B.
Pass the time calmly, looking forward, but without obsession.
Sometimes I experiment with Angela.
Sometimes I get along with Juyeon.
And sometimes… While collecting information about dragons with old man Merlin.
About a week passed like that.
“… Should I give up soon?”
After all the deadlines I had set in my mind had passed, it was time to turn my mind to the second plan.
A familiar yet gigantic presence steps onto the narrow land of the city-state.
At the same time, an unfamiliar, cold energy is felt.
I realized this as soon as I felt it.
“You’re here.”
The person I was waiting for finally answered my call and arrived here.
