## Chapter 2724 – 2724. Dragon Hunter
Ort pointed at me with his finger and shouted.
“You must face your wickedness!!”
Ort, who discovered the corpse of the Dragon King-class dragon, the Celestial Dragon of Good and Evil, like fate when he was young, possesses two abilities.
One is the ability to see the karma of a target as colors, and the other is the ability to bestow curses and blessings according to their karma.
“The virtuous will grow stronger through blessings, and the wicked will weaken through curses. All is karma!”
I felt the power emanating from Ort surge towards me. It wasn’t mana. It wasn’t nature. It was a mysterious, unknown power that defied definition.
‘I can’t avoid it.’
I knew it instinctively. No matter how fast I moved, even if I tore a space-time scroll, that power would inevitably reach me.
‘If there’s any consolation, Ort can’t use that ability consecutively. There are two ways to respond: complete recovery and Heavenly Heart.’
I didn’t know for sure, but the curse would be incredibly powerful. Probably to the point where I’d have to die once.
‘I die once. But I won’t just die. I’ll use Blood Lightning to take one of them down for sure.’
Ort’s power reached me.
And nothing happened.
Well, something was about to happen, but it suddenly vanished.
“W-What is this? My ability doesn’t work! What trickery is this?!”
Ort shouted as if in a frenzy.
I realized as I looked at him.
“When you think about it, your ability is to see and judge the karma of a target. But judgment can’t be passed on someone stronger than you. Don’t try to judge me when you’re weaker than me. Heh heh.”
“……!!”
Ort glared at me with wide eyes. As much as I wanted to provoke him more… Godumo kicked off the ground and rushed at me in a surprise attack. The guy floating in the air swung his club, aiming for my head.
‘Too slow to be a surprise attack.’
I don’t even need to use an instant. Looking at the power in the club, it’s best to avoid it. I jumped upwards. The club struck the ground where I had been.
Kwaaaaaaaang!
The powerful force created a hole in the ground and shook the earth. Even without technique, his strength was not to be ignored.
“You rascal…!”
Godumo raised his head and glared at me, standing in the air. Crack, crack! His body twisted and he became a giant spider. It was a little different from the spiders I knew. It had an appearance that mixed a dragon and a spider.
Having eaten the Dragon Heart of the Spider Dragon, he could temporarily transform into a Spider Dragon when using his ability.
He gripped the club with one of his front legs. This was possible because there were three claw-like nails at the end of his leg.
As I was preparing to counterattack, I clicked my tongue as I saw Ort attacking. I dodged Godumo’s attack with the Flying Thunder God technique, blocked Ort’s spear with the Flower Flame Dagger, and pushed him away at the same time. This was possible because I had the upper hand in strength.
“Godumo! Get out of the way!”
Virgo shouted from a distance and swung his twin swords. The twin swords instantly grew 10 times larger.
It was Virgo’s ability, Gigantification. He could instantaneously increase the size of his body, the weapons or objects he held in his hands by up to 10 times. The weight and power also increased tenfold. However, he couldn’t maintain it for long at once. He could only maintain a single use of Gigantification for about 5 seconds.
A slash created by swinging the enlarged twin swords flew towards me.
‘It’s just a slash that’s only bigger. I just need to avoid it.’
Thunderclap Flash.
Pajijijik! Lightning pulled my body backwards. The slash passed me and fell on a nearby hill. The once single hill was divided into three.
As I fell to the ground, I extended my palm. Lightning rotated and gathered, then stretched out long. I twisted my waist as much as possible and threw it at Virgo.
Thunderclap Flash: Myriad Thunder Spear.
Virgo crossed the shrunken twin swords and enlarged them again. The sword, which had grown more than 10 times larger, became a wall in itself and blocked the Myriad Thunder Spear. Blue currents scattered around him. As soon as I recognized those currents, I used a skill.
[Using Lightning Leap.]
I appeared above Virgo’s head and swung my sword as I fell to the ground.
Surprised, Virgo enlarged the suit jacket he was wearing. The sword, imbued with weak aura, cut the jacket, but didn’t inflict any meaningful damage on Virgo.
“You were wearing something pretty good?”
“…It’s a suit with Dragon Heart Blood from a High Dragon-class dragon. It was my favorite outfit. I can’t use it anymore. Instead, I’ll take your head!”
He took out a small dagger from his pocket. When he used his Gigantification ability, the dagger became a longsword. The longsword imbued with aura aimed for my heart.
‘Adamantine Lightning.’
I took out a golden vajra from my inventory, held it in my left hand, and stabbed. The moment the tip of his sword and the tip of the Adamantine Lightning met, a repulsive force caused by magic occurred. Both my and Virgo’s bodies were thrown in opposite directions at the same time.
[Opening the Heavenly Eye.]
I grasped the situation even as my body flew. Unlike me, who was fine, Virgo seemed to have suffered some internal injuries, and Ort and Godumo were rushing at me with their weapons.
‘It’s not easy. I should be thankful that these guys’ teamwork is terrible.’
Still, it’s not enough to use the last resort of self-destruction.
[Using Meteor Sword.]
Three Meteor Swords generated in the air fell on Godumo and Ort respectively. Faced with swords with considerable power and direction, they stopped their attack stance and focused on defense. In the meantime, I fell to the ground and regained my balance.
‘Prolonging the battle will be disadvantageous for me.’
[Using Instant. Remaining stacks: 9]
I rushed towards the giant Spider Dragon, Godumo, who was holding a club. Godumo leaped into the air and shot out spiderwebs from his eight legs. Countless spiderwebs enveloped the space around me. Each strand of spiderweb was imbued with magic, making it as sharp as a blade.
“Heh heh heh. This idiot walked into hell! These spiderwebs have no effect on me! Even if you endure with magic, it will only last 10 seconds! Use those 10 seconds to utter your last words!!”
“Creating a barrier that other vice-presidents can’t interfere with. Are you an idiot?”
“You! You’re all talk!!”
I threw the Adamantine Lightning towards Godumo. The golden lightning struck Godumo’s head. But it didn’t go in deep.
‘It was shallow because he’s in the form of a giant Spider Dragon.’
The magic-enhanced spiderwebs were gradually closing in. And as that guy said, it was difficult to endure for more than 10 seconds from the moment the spiderwebs touched my body. I could leap out, but now was the perfect opportunity to kill Godumo.
Domain Expansion.
Starlight burst out from the Flower Flame Dagger. The starlight didn’t spread out but stayed around me. I, with the domain wrapped around my body, rushed towards Godumo.
Godumo hurriedly raised the club he was holding with his front leg, but the blade wrapped in the domain immediately cut the club.
“What is that power…?! How much power were you hiding?!”
“I have no obligation to tell you.”
He desperately swung his front legs. I cut even those front legs and arrived in front of him.
Thud.
The tip of the Flower Flame Dagger pierced through his thick skull and penetrated his brain.
“I told you. You’re the weakest among the vice-presidents. That’s a fact. I wouldn’t have been able to kill another vice-president this easily.”
“……!!”
Godumo tried to say something, but his life was cut short faster. His transformation was undone, and the closing spiderwebs collapsed and disappeared. The corpse fell to the ground with its head pierced.
“This wicked one…!!!”
As soon as the spiderwebs collapsed, Ort rushed at me and stabbed with her spear. It was quite sharp. She lived up to her reputation as the most skilled martial artist among the vice-presidents. But she wasn’t at the level of Do Hwang.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
While the sword and spear were chaotically intersecting, Virgo unleashed slashes. I easily avoided the slashes. But not Ort. A slash grazed her forearm, and blood splattered.
“Virgo!! What are you doing?!”
“I clearly said to get out of the way.”
Ort gritted her teeth and swung her spear at me. As I continued to dodge the slashes, Virgo approached and directly participated in the battle. Suddenly, I was facing two people.
I blocked and countered their twin swords and spear with the Flower Flame Dagger and Adamantine Lightning, moving around. Trees were destroyed and rocks turned into pebbles by the stray slashes and shockwaves. The surrounding environment was changing in real time as the battle continued.
“I’ve roughly figured it out. You guys are much more incompatible than I thought. It would have been more advantageous for you to fight me one-on-one.”
Virgo and Ort distorted their faces. They couldn’t refute it because they also felt that they were hindering each other.
If it were a dragon, it might be different. These guys don’t know how to cooperate against humans.
“In the end, there are two of us and you’re alone. Eventually, you’ll be the one who gets tired. Look at the blood flowing from your body.”
Virgo said, raising the corners of his lips.
Certainly, blood was flowing from my body. It was impossible to face two people at the same time without getting hit even once. But there wasn’t a single fatal wound on my body.
“I played around a bit, and you guys are already crawling up. I’ve already grasped your skills… Now, the game is over.”
Pajijijijijijik!
Red lightning, influenced by the domain, surged from my entire body. The lightning containing the domain temporarily electrocuted their bodies. Their movements slowed down.
“Damn it…. Is my magic being overwhelmed…?!”
“What is this power….”
A domain is about twisting the laws of the surrounding area to your advantage. Simply put, it’s about having an advantage in compatibility. Even if it’s magic.
I poured all the domains I could use into the Flower Flame Dagger and increased the output of lightning.
Pajijijijijijijik!
Red lightning, shining so brightly that it burned my eyes, was compressed into the Flower Flame Dagger.
Thunderclap Flash: Thunder Calamity Obliteration.
The red slash cut through Virgo and Ort’s bodies and flew away.
The slash, which gradually grew to be over 30m, headed towards the Crystal Dragon. The space around the slash was breaking like glass.
The Crystal Dragon, who was fighting the Wolf Eye Clan, was startled and used its ability to cover its entire body with crystal. It was a decision made because it was too late to dodge.
But the slash couldn’t be stopped. The slash cut through the crystal covering the Crystal Dragon without any resistance and flew away, gradually disappearing in the air.
Traces of the slash still remained in the space it had passed through, slowly being restored.
“Oh,”
I blinked my eyes and admired.
“Just adding a domain to Thunder Calamity resulted in this much power?”
I could roughly guess what had happened. The domain had an advantage in compatibility even over the concept of space.
‘And it’s possible because I have a little understanding of space. The technique itself isn’t difficult. I just poured everything into one slash.’
The problem is that it consumes all the domain. Right now, the Flower Flame Dagger couldn’t use any domain at all.
‘It would be best to divide the domain appropriately and use it… but that’s impossible for me right now.’
All I could do was wrap the domain around my body and swing the blade with all the domain poured into it. It was impossible to divide and use only a part of the domain.
‘It’s an ultimate move that can only be used with the Flower Flame Dagger.’
I couldn’t use it recklessly. The speed of the flying slash wasn’t so fast that they couldn’t react. Virgo and Ort couldn’t avoid it because they were right in front of me.
‘Honestly, the slash didn’t need to be 30m in size if I only considered efficiency.’
Still, I dealt with the Crystal Dragon, so isn’t it all good?
I walked towards the Wolf Eye Clan members who were making dumbfounded expressions.
