Chapter 378 – 378. Harpoon to Kill the Dragon (3)
==============================
Heavenly cover,
Koios.
Knuckle, named after the second son born between the sky god and the earth goddess, possesses powers specialized in defense.
The power to protect yourself and your allies from all harm.
Miguel defined the speed that gradually accelerated as he continued to fall as an enemy threatening himself and his allies, and nullified the enemy by activating the authority given to his knuckles.
“Cover it with the sky, Koios.”
Oh oh oh oh
It was enveloped in pure white light.
Dropped the gravitational acceleration that was pulling Yushin and the others relentlessly.
To land safely on the ground,
In order to reach the ground without difficulty, Knuckles supported the party with great precision.
“Ugh!”
Yooshin, who was hugging the screaming elf warrior, let out a saliva and landed on the snowy field.
Savnac and Miguel also stepped on the ground flexibly like a nimble cat.
“Is everyone okay?”
The elven warrior chief, who created a miracle by mobilizing the power bestowed on the holy relic to nullify the downward pulling force, asked Yushin.
Yushin nodded at him.
“I’m alive thanks to you.”
A pure white radiance scattering a brilliant presence.
Yushin looked at Miguel’s left hand, which was emitting brilliance, as if he were curious.
Is that the power of the Holy Spirit?
Like other warriors armed with holy relics, it held a special mystery.
“Demon King Slayer, move quickly. Some of the dragons fighting may have seen the halo.”
“It should be.”
Yushin, who was looking at the copper dragon fighting a fierce battle with the black dragons, nodded at Miguel’s words and looked away.
Where should I go,
First of all, the first step was to move the place so as not to get caught up in the battle of the dragons, so I moved my steps.
“Savnak?”
Yooshin opened his mouth to the red-haired demon king who was standing and looking away.
Did you find something,
Savnak was looking at the thick forest stained with pure white snow.
“Yushin, this way.”
“Uh?”
“I feel like I should.”
“… Um, okay.”
Even though Savnak’s words were completely unfounded, Yushin nodded his head without the slightest hesitation.
These are the words the demon king of the heatwave brought out.
If the words had been spoken in the second grade of middle school, they would have spilled right into the back of my ear, but now Savnak was very serious.
Yushin decided to follow Savnak’s intuition. He moved his steps after Savnak.
“What, why aren’t you coming?”
“Perhaps the Demon King Slayer has decided to change direction.”
“Suddenly?!”
I was going to move to the valley surrounded by piles of stones to hide myself in haste, but the direction was changed by Savnak, who seemed to have intuition.
Not a valley of stones,
We headed for an oak forest that looked like a pure white superb view.
It wasn’t really a bad choice. Even if you head to the oak forest, you will be able to hide. The first thing to do was to get away from the fiercely fighting dragons, so I hurriedly hid in the oak forest.
“Ugh, it’s cold… !”
As soon as they stepped into the oak forest, what greeted them was concentrated cold air.
The chill blocked by the densely packed trees.
Like a refrigerator that maintains a low temperature, a chill surrounds the skin.
The silver-haired elven warrior chief trembled with his body. It was because the concentrated chill was enough to pierce the winter coat he was wearing so tightly that he waddled around.
‘What the hell is this….’
Yushin exhaled white breath and looked around.
Nothing was visible.
All I could see was a tree stump completely buried in the snow.
“This way. It is weak, but it smells like fire.”
“Fire?”
It was a strange word indeed.
The sudden smell of fire
Did the power of the heat wave even have that ability?
At Savnak’s words that the smell of fire suddenly came from a place where nothing was felt, Yushin followed her with a half-doubtful feeling.
“I don’t smell anything. Is it because your nose is frozen?”
“It’s not a smell you can smell with your nose.”
Savnak, who replied with a frown on her face, tugged at Yushin’s sleeve.
She looked like a daughter who annoyed her lazy father.
As she dragged the hem of her coat, Savnak took the lead, and Yushin had no choice but to follow her.
If a situation arises in which she just wastes her strength by beating her up, I’ll have to take away her snacks, she murmured as she looked at Savnak’s back as she headed deeper into the forest.
* * *
Just as a candle that is about to go out ephemerally emits a flickering light,
A dying red-haired woman, pierced by her sharp harpoon, struggled to start a fire with her one hand, generating her own heat.
“Cool… ! Cool… !!”
Blood poured out every time the woman coughed up her shoulders as she shook her shoulders.
A hideous harpoon that pierced the abdomen,
The slender woman was dying while being pierced by a harpoon measuring as much as two meters.
She tried several times to draw out the harpoon, but all failed. She must have been a weapon imbued with a grotesque curse. She tried with all her strength to pull out her harpoon, but the harpoon, deeply embedded like her roots, wouldn’t budge.
“Aagh!!”
A terrible pang tormented the red dragon endlessly.
As if he would continue to torment her relentlessly until her life ended, even pain numbing magic could not lessen the pain.
She continued to inflict her pain.
The pain inflicted by the harpoon that pierced the body far exceeded the dragon’s mental strength. It was constantly eating away at the Red Dragon’s vitality and mental strength at the same time.
“A guard dog that follows the demon king of violence… ! To think that there was a human who could overwhelm the flames of eons… !!”
It reminded me of a human male who manifested bizarre powers while holding a sharp harpoon.
The guy is a monster
There was a very unpleasant smell of rot.
Human but not human. Obviously not a perfect human. Humans with harpoons were the worst monsters, completely out of the providence of life.
“Father….”
The woman who was slowly dying as she vomited her blood lowered her head as if feeling her knuckles.
Not only was he mortally wounded by a monster that smelled rotten, but he ran away from the monster that trampled on the dragon’s nobility.
It was a disgrace that I will never have again in my life.
If she died like this, she would lose even the pride of being the daughter of the Dragon Lord.
And when that happens… My father, who accepted solitude and silence for the sake of providence and balance, will be left alone.
“Sorry…. I’m sorry, father… !!”
Unlike other dragons, who had no special attachment to her people or even to her family, Lemeria felt a sense of family love for her father.
Guardian of Providence and Balance.
The dragon lord who swallowed the northern storm and lightning.
Lemeria truly admired such a father, and she also truly loved her father as her only blood relative.
‘I should have somehow dealt with the renegades who trampled on the dragon’s pride until the end!’
Could it be because of the anxiety that she will face a disgraceful death, leaving her father alone?
Tears streamed down from both of her eyes.
To think the dragon shed tears of sorrow… It was a very strange sight.
“Sorry, did I interrupt you while you were trembling?”
“…….”
A small crypt located deep in the oak forest.
Inside her crypt, Lemeria, who was weeping bitterly with her life barely preserved, came face to face with a man who suddenly appeared like a mole.
The crypt she relied on was not deep.
So she was exposed to the shameful appearance of her tears dripping down like her new bride in the face of simplicity.
“It’s really great, how did you know?”
“I would have said it smelled like fire.”
Seeing Lemeria hiding her body inside the cramped crypt, her Yushin turned her head and asked Savnak.
To Yushin’s question, Savnak shrugged her shoulders and answered.
“I am the demon lord of the heat wave, the demon lord of the flames. There’s no way I’ll miss the feeble fire burning in the oak grove, engulfed in the cold and chill.”
It is as simple as finding a white spark in a world dotted with black.
Yushin nodded at Savnak’s words.
“It is a critical situation.”
“I know. I used up all the elixirs because of one lizard….”
Seeing Lemeria pierced by a large 2-meter harpoon, Yushin frowned and muttered:
It was in a very serious condition.
I could see it with the naked eye.
The red dragon, struggling to radiate flames with one hand, looked like a beast caught in a trap and slowly dying.
“This, human… ! Obviously you are the demon lord slayer… ! How are you here… ?”
“Well. I didn’t fully understand the situation either.”
Following the absurd Savnak, who said he could smell the fire, he set foot into the depths of the oak forest.
Yushin was also puzzled by the unexpected reunion with Lemeria, who was hiding in a small dungeon.
“Hey, have you seen it… !”
“What? Father, Father, you mean the way you cried while muttering? It might be like that when you die.”
“Keugh! Shut up, shut up!!”
Lemeria shouted, moving her body violently.
To the lower and inferior human beings,
I showed a shameful side that should never be shown.
It was an unprecedented shame for Lemeria, who had both her strong pride as a dragon and her pride.
“Liana! Miguel!”
Yushin, who was talking with the dying red dragon, turned his head and called the elven warrior chiefs.
Found the Dragon Lord’s daughter.
She was in such a fatal condition that it wouldn’t be strange if she died right away.
