Chapter 606 – Dragon Raid (4)
A large table filled with a variety of foods that will whet your appetite just by looking at them.
With many people sitting down, two people are talking about everything.
“Hmm… “The food here is also quite good.”
“Hehe, I’m glad it suits your taste.”
“It’s a bit disappointing that there is less meat.”
“I will tell you to increase the proportion of meat in your next meal.”
“Thank you for your concern.”
“Not much to say.”
The saint speaks softly in a gentle tone and Irina speaks without hesitation in a cool tone.
People watching this were so amazed that they couldn’t tell whether they were eating with their mouths or their noses.
“Living and living and seeing those two having a conversation…”
“I’ll live to see it for a long time, hehe.”
Angela and Merlin are chanting while following the two people’s faces with blank expressions.
Their reactions were also understandable.
That’s because the Vatican Orthodox Church and Russia do not have a very good relationship.
It’s not like I’m outright rejecting it, but…, It feels like Russia is subtly pushing out the Orthodox Church?
As evidence, there are only a handful of branches of the Orthodox Church in Russia.
There are more Orthodox Church branches in Korea than there are Orthodox Church branches in Russia.
I heard that many things happened.
It is said that residents near the site where the Orthodox Church branch will be built are protesting against its establishment.
Construction may be extended indefinitely due to a sudden accident.
Also, the establishment permit is canceled without any reason.
People are hissing, but anyone with a little sense knows.
The fact that the Russian government is behind all of this.
Faith is belief.
And trust leads to loyalty.
The Russian government doesn’t like that.
They want all the people’s faith and faith to be poured only into themselves.
And the name of the person who holds real power in the current Russian government is Boris Orlov.
He is Irina’s adoptive father.
That’s why Merlin and Angela are surprised.
Although he is not the enemy of Cheolcheon, it is surprising that a guardian from another country with whom we do not have a very good relationship has come to Vatican City and is having a very friendly conversation with the saint who is the leader.
Irina, who finished her meal with a fairly happy expression, looked at the faces of the people sitting around and asked.
“So, are all the people here participating in the raid?”
“Except for the saint.”
“Hmm, why?”
“You have so much work to do that you don’t have time to sit down.”
“Is it…”
Irina shakes her head while saying something regretful.
I also agree with that part.
Although Juyeon can partially take the place of a saint, her main focus is on buffs.
Because it is difficult to completely fill the position with a saint who has strengths in healing.
“We’re only going to be together for a little while, so let’s start with a clear statement.”
After shaking off her brief regret, she stands up and raises her voice.
“My name is Irina Borisovna Orlova. He is thirty. She is a Russian S-class hunter.”
She continued as she placed her hand on her beloved sword, her Snow Bringer, which was worn at her waist.
“The position is a close dealer. “She can also work quite well as a debuffer at the same time.”
Her fighting style is quite brutal.
The enormous cold air emitted from the Snow Bringer penetrates into the bodies of surrounding enemies.
Enemies suffering from the biting cold have greatly reduced movement and reaction speed.
And the enemy who slows down like that ends up giving his life to Irina’s sword.
That’s one of the reasons she can establish herself as a world-class hunter.
She continues her words with great pride in her skills.
“I assure you, there will be nothing holding you back. So the opposite is also true.”
A cold gaze that freezes the audience.
At the end, she opens her mouth.
“You too should not hold me back. “I have no desire to follow others, even outside the country.”
The air becomes colder than the weather.
Did her words hurt the pride of others?
That’s not it.
It’s like admitting that you were only hurt by those words.
However, all the people gathered here are confident in their own abilities.
Angela responds to her introduction by curling the corners of her mouth as if she is having fun.
“I’m Angela. Position is tank. “She has nothing to worry about, so you can rest assured.”
“Hmm.”
Two people facing each other.
You can tell people who have reached a certain level just by looking at them.
Is the other person’s words just lies, or are they backed by skills?
Irina, realizing her true intentions, nods her head with a satisfied expression and goes over to her side.
“I am Merlin.”
“It’s a name I’ve heard before. “It deals with space magic, right?”
“Hmm…, That’s right.”
Merlin swallows his sleep and nods.
You can see it just by looking at it.
The judgment must have been distorted because a woman younger than him spoke informally.
But I couldn’t say anything because he was bigger than I thought.
Her words continue.
“I heard it’s a very useful spell,” She said. I look forward to your performance. Next…”
Her eyes turn to Juyeon.
“I’m Juyeon Han. We plan to support you as a buffer and healer. Please take care of me?”
The introduction ended with a bright smile.
Unlike the previous two people who passed quickly, Irina’s gaze was fixed on Juyeon and did not move.
“… “I know it’s rude to say something like this at first meeting, but dear.”
“… ?”
“It looks very gloomy.”
Juyeon, embarrassed, asks back with a surprised expression.
“Me?”
Irina nods her head resolutely.
“Yes, dear. “He pretends not to be like that on the outside, but on the inside he’s very sinister.”
While speaking, a faint smile appears on her lips.
“Just like me.”
“…”
The sight of two pairs of eyes colliding is unusual.
It feels like we’re having an unspoken conversation, but I have no idea what’s going on.
By the way, Irina and Juyeon are similar to each other… ?
I don’t think so.
Jooyeon, who cleared her frozen face, smiles again and speaks as if responding to Irina.
“You don’t want to reveal a woman’s insides.”
“I apologize if I offended you. “I guess I made a mistake because I’m not good at talking to people.”
“Ho Ho…, Please be careful next time.”
“Keep that in mind.”
Hmm…
You look angry?
* * *
No matter how good their skills are, it is impossible to get along well in real life just by getting to know each other a little through self-introductions.
So they had time to get together before the full-scale raid.
I didn’t intend to go to such a difficult place.
It’s just the perfect place to properly understand each other’s skills.
“How about a few laps of an S-class dungeon?”
Merlin scolded his suggestion.
“Is that light, you idiot?”
“Of course.”
Kim Do-jin really thought so.
Even if they are the same S class, they are not all the same S class.
Because there is a wall thicker than the wall between the A and S classes between the highest and lowest S classes.
The people gathered here are all S-class, belonging to the highest rank.
“If something happens in an S-class dungeon with this number of people, wouldn’t that be a problem?”
It wasn’t wrong.
In the end, they used the Vatican Orthodox Church to propose a dungeon attack to the Italian government, which was easily accepted.
S-class dungeons are a nuisance that can only be conquered with an S-class hunter.
What would be better if an S-class hunter from another country, who doesn’t mind getting hurt, could solve such a problem than a precious S-class from his own country?
At that time, there were as many as five S-class dungeons waiting to be conquered throughout Italy.
Kim Do-jin and other party members toured all the places.
And that in just three days.
Even that time increased due to the long travel time.
If the travel distance had been close, it would probably have been completed within two days.
In the process, Irina found out.
The skills of the team members who will match yours.
And the true story of Kim Do-jin, who brought them here.
‘He is a desirable man.’
Needless to say, his skills are outstanding.
Sword and magic.
An all-rounder who not only eliminates the limitations of distance through his excellent skills, but also plays an active role in all aspects of attack, defense, and movement with his magical versatility.
There is insight into the enemy’s weaknesses.
In addition to the tenacity to aim for this thoroughly, the caution of not being sure of victory until the very end.
He was exactly like that.
“… It’s like someone born to be a hunter.”
A hero born to fight the monsters that threaten humanity.
Or something.
Seeing this, even the slightest spark of doubt that remained in my heart completely disappeared.
Dragon Raid?
‘There’s nothing that can’t be done.’
If he is there, it seems possible.
If he is the one who shows the right performance in all situations.
If there is someone who supports you perfectly even if you have not matched up with him a few times.
He also seems to be able to come out stronger.
‘That’s why I crave it even more.’
It wasn’t love or lust.
I just wanted to have the person that Kim Do-jin is.
For myself in the not-too-distant future.
‘To do that…’
First of all, I have to finish this job well.
She plays an outstanding role in the Dragon Raid and imprints herself in his mind.
With that in mind, I was about to finish my late dinner.
Kim Do-jin, who had finished eating earlier, spoke to those gathered in front of the table.
“Tomorrow we will finally head to the place where the dragon was discovered.”
It’s finally tomorrow.
The day we go out to hunt dragons.
Angela asked.
“Where did she say she was going?”
Kim Do-jin answered.
“Switzerland.”
Switzerland.
To be exact, the Alps Mountains stretch out around there.
Surprisingly, the red dragon, which was spewing fire from its mouth, was hiding its nest on a mountain covered with snow all year round.
