Chapter 612 – Dragon Raid (10)
Kim Do-jin gained a small insight from Irina’s words trying to comfort him.
‘Yes, that’s right.’
If you make it this hard for the other person to get to you, you can just invite them here.
But how?
I look around with worried eyes.
‘He’s watching us.’
Strong traps are being created on every path we take, and milestones are disappearing.
This is proof that the cunning dragon is aware of their appearance in real time.
I was curious.
‘How on earth are they monitoring us?’
A world where visibility is difficult even with my own eyes due to the fierce snowstorm.
What is it?
Among them, the medium that becomes his eyes or something similar is.
It didn’t take long before I found the answer.
‘Snow.’
Pure white snow spread all over the world.
Aren’t these eyes, which block their path, cause them to lose their sense of direction, and are swirling around, a perfect replacement for that guy’s eyes?
Moreover, this snow did not accumulate naturally, but was created by him using his magic power.
Suddenly, a magic flashes through my head.
Familiar.
If it is the magic that tames small animals as familiars and uses them for scouting purposes.
What if all the snow that falls from the sky and piles up is nothing more than his familiar?
‘There is a lot of potential.’
Beyond possibility, he was almost certain.
I thought again.
‘If only I could get rid of this eye…’ .’
Wouldn’t it be easy to get to him?
But I soon stopped thinking about it.
‘It’s impossible.’
The snow piled up in this world is clearly a trap that this guy has been building for decades.
To get rid of all those eyes, it would be impossible even if you collapsed hundreds of times from exhaustion.
I changed the direction of my thoughts.
‘Then let’s use these eyes in reverse.’
Strictly speaking, the snow that falls here is only a substitute for his vision, and cannot be real snow.
To be a more accurate analogy, this is the energy used by warriors who have reached the highest level.
An upward compatibility of the art of quickly detecting the presence of an opponent by spreading the magical power within the body like a net around the surroundings.
It will be broader, more detailed, and clearer.
But it also cannot replace the eyes.
Rather than seeing it directly, you’re just drawing the shape in your head.
Of course, the shape is so clear that it is not much different from what you see with your eyes.
‘There is enough room to dig in.’
If you dig into the part about substitute products that are infinitely closer to the eye, you can use them as much as you want.
For example, they make a great replacement that can be fooled into thinking it’s them.
And there are great people in that field.
After organizing his thoughts, he immediately gathered people together and spoke.
“Should we do a play?”
Everyone here is the main character, and the only audience is their eyes.
* * *
Irina Borisovna Orlova.
Those who watched her battle in front of their eyes all raised their thumbs up and said.
‘It’s beautiful.’
It is not because of the face or body that is both beautiful and strong.
Because the art she shows itself makes people feel beauty.
Someone else says this.
Her ice is alive and moving.
Ice is essentially a substance that is hard and cold, but has no flexibility at all.
But the ice she created is different.
If you make a bird, it will move in perfect imitation of the structure of a bird, and if you make a human shape, it will operate smoothly according to the principles of human movement.
Of course, it takes quite a bit of time to draw such a delicate shape, but whatever.
A dragon looking down at us with eyes filled with indescribable anger.
“Look over there.”
Show it to the guy.
The identity of what I firmly believed was me and Old Man Merlin.
A look of embarrassment appears on his face.
“… Ice?”
“Yes, it’s ice.”
From the moment we decided to use his gaze, Irina and I started sculpting.
The target is me and old man Merlin.
I went through a lot of trial and error.
In order to properly fool the guy’s senses, an error of even 0.1 mm was not allowed.
“You don’t know how hard I worked.”
“Well… It was one of the most difficult moments in my life.”
Irina agrees with what I say.
Walking during the day, carving at night.
After working on it for several days, we completed it.
An ice doll that is exactly the same as the real thing.
Then, we planted a piece of gluttony there, synchronized the body, and filled it with our magical energy.
And we hid.
All of his eyes were gouged out and covered in dirt so that he could not be seen.
After that, as you can see.
“Wow, it was so cold. If it had been just a little longer, she would have frozen to death.”
Still, it was worthwhile.
That’s right, the person we’ve been looking for suddenly appeared right before our eyes.
Clap!
It focuses the attention of the party members who applaud in joy.
“Now, the play is over.”
Since it’s so busy, I’ll skip the closing ceremony.
“Ready for battle.”
Change your stance quickly.
A play is always a tactic to attract the other party.
Because it’s real from now on.
Grumbling
The momentum is rising.
The anger they felt while rolling around in the snow over the past few days actually became their strength.
The dragon’s anger in the face of humans’ fierce force also intensifies.
“How dare a human being deceive me…!”
It’s boring.
Why do all the monsters that can communicate with each other use words such as ‘human subjects’ or ‘humans etc.’?
It’s about losing all the time.
I tease him to make him angry.
“Your dad was killed by that person too.”
“This guy…!”
A fire of anger rises in the center of the sky where a fierce snowstorm rages.
Intense heat transmitted even though it is well over 100m away.
I am relieved by this.
“Luckily it’s a red dragon.”
At least one dealer won’t become useless.
Crrrralala!
The guy who cried out loud at the sky shouts coldly.
“Nothing changes just because the battlefield changes.”
In an instant, hundreds of ice blocks the size of a human head are aimed at us.
“You guys die here.”
As soon as I finished speaking, hail poured down.
When Jooyeon tries to cast a shield, Old Man Merlin casts a spell one step ahead.
「Twisted Space.」
A huge hole is created above our heads and some distance away.
Hail is sucked into that hole and piled up on the floor through another hole.
As expected, old man Merlin.
I heard it was worth bringing you.
“Go first.”
With a short signal, Irina soars.
Large wings made of ice sprout from her back and flap.
The cold gaze and the tip of the sword are aimed at the enemy.
「Cold anger(холодный гнев).」
White frosting energy on the sword.
With one swing, the cold sword comes out and flies towards the enemy.
Wedge!
The dragon’s mouth opens.
Is it breathe?
I even thought about it for a moment.
Instead of a fierce flame, the guy poured out cold words.
「Disappear.」
As soon as the words are poured out, the surrounding magic moves without control and attaches itself to the flying sword.
Then something surprising happened.
The magic power that had been tightly packed in the form of a sword began to disperse.
“…!”
Geomgang disappeared without a trace.
Everyone was surprised by that amazing sight.
“What on earth just happened…?”
“The dragon spit out an unknown word and the sword disappeared.”
“Ho, is this magic unique to dragons?!”
No, wait a minute.
“… Did you just say it was an unknown word?”
When I ask old Merlin, he answers in an excited voice.
“Yeah. This is my first time hearing it. Have you ever heard of it?”
“…”
This is a word I’ve never heard before.
It wasn’t for me.
Didn’t you say ‘disappear’?
While I was embarrassed by the unknown gap between him and me.
“Ha!”
Irina’s fierce attack continues.
「Blizzard(метель).」
Dozens or hundreds of pure white swords pour out, disturbing the dragon’s vision.
I can’t help but feel admiration.
It’s still possible to extract so much sword steel, which already consumes a lot of mana.
But it was meaningless.
「Break down.」
As he spoke, the swords swirling in all directions began to break apart at will.
Awesome!
Pow!
Quad deuk!
Irina’s eyes widen as if torn when she sees this.
If the scale of the attack was that much, she would have carried out the attack at the risk of great loss.
Since such an attack was blocked with just a single word, it had to be that way.
The dragon, who has regained her self-esteem through successive victories, cries out coldly to Irina.
「Fall.」
The same thing happens when the sword disappears.
The magic power flowing around her responds to his words and moves as it pleases, attaching itself to the ice wings growing on her back.
Pajik!
Wings that melt away in an instant.
“No…!?”
She falls.
Just as he declared a moment ago.
He flings her body towards her falling point and takes her in his arms just in time to arrive right in front of her.
Poop!
“Okay.”
No matter how superhuman you are, it’s not easy to catch someone who falls from the sky.
She asks me as she is held in her arms in her princess embrace.
“How did you get some information?”
It was a pre-arranged move.
She attacks first, and I watch from behind to figure out her weaknesses.
However, unfortunately, the weakness was not identified.
However, I learned one thing.
How does that young dragon use magic, or rather, his own power?
“That guy seems to be able to manipulate words.”
What to say.
The guy seems to have learned to the extreme how to put power into his words to make up for his shortcomings.
