Chapter 733 – The Sun Covers the Sky (8)
***
Several hours had passed since I had threatened the Azteca minions with a suitable prank.
The troops who came to the city boasted of their victory and prepared human sacrifice, as if it was a waste of time to rest. Since the guy we threatened was the representative of the minions, it was easy for him to hide in the ritual.
【… Hey. The corps commander is coming up.]
The minion spoke at the top of the terraced altar.
Hiding with invisibility magic, I hid myself behind the altar. The back of the minion laying the girls who were chosen as sacrifices on the altar was damp with cold sweat.
The idiot is very suspicious. Is it on purpose?
【Don’t you look good? If you show off acting, you will fall behind.]
【… Trying hard.】
When I recited a threatening phrase to the frightened bastard, he spoke as if he was muttering. Shit guy. You shouldn’t be half as shameless as when you bully others.
【Zuzuteku.】
【Yes! Owy Cooly Corps Commander!]
After some time, the man who came up to the altar said.
Like Istetil, he is a man with the characteristics of a dragon. It was rumored that even in Azteca, he was a member of the aristocratic class and was a strong man with the rank of corps commander.
Even I, who hid myself in various ways, was strong enough to inadvertently put strength into my body.
‘There are Mithril classes rolling all over the place.’
How the fuck did I run into more masters than slippers?
My trivial complaints were cut short as the young dragonfish approached the sacrificial girls with an obsidian dagger.
【Are these guys the sacrifice this time?】
【Yes! 10 men and women, pure boys and girls gathered! As an offering to my mother, it would be very insufficient, but I will work harder on that in the future–]
【Hmm.】
He was a pawn who became quiet at the slightest word spoken. The young dragongary spun the obsidian dagger in his hand like an expert butcher.
【Sometimes even children are good. Your mother will surely be satisfied.]
【That’s right! Then prepare a dish for the warriors to eat!]
【However, there are too many nasty guys at the altar.】
【Yes?】
The minion, who was rushing down the altar under the pretext of preparing a meal, asked again.
That was his will.
─Tuk.
A neatly decapitated head fell to the floor.
【You brought in a lot of traitors. I doubt the faith of this city.]
As the dragonfish sighed, her blade-like dragon’s tail rose red. That bastard had whipped its tail and ripped off her minion’s neck.
─Bright!!
When I jumped out, paying attention to my steps so as not to make a sound, the young dragonfish slammed the dagger at the victim without hesitation. The sacrificial boy, who had been lying down as if he had fainted, opened his eyes.
Kick while stepping on back tumbling.
─Ew! The boy’s kick struck the young dragonfish’s palm. It was probably an expected counterattack, but was the power different from what I had imagined? Yonggary jumped back.
[Did you hear it? Was it hard to imitate a child because he was a bit short?]
Said Kiara, who jumped up. To think that she dressed up as a sacrifice was caught at once.
As I stepped on the advance, I threw out a bruenak. The attack with an aura wrapped around the tip of the spear suddenly exploded on the back of the baby dragongary and sparks flew.
【Kuuuuu!!】
【Mother?】
However, even if fire splattered like sawing iron, the young dragonfish withstood my attack. Surprised, I deflected the whip flying at my face and was pushed back.
【Look at the chewy pups!】
【Don’t be careless! As Wooshin’s child, he shared the sacrifice!!]
Cried Istetil, leaping from the altar, raising his claws. The nail wrapped in the aura was a weapon almost as long as a short sword. Scar-! She slashes through her altar and rushes forward.
【For even the humans that bastard ate, the corpses will pile up to the height of this altar! Just think that you won’t even be able to get a scratch!]
【Thank you for letting me know what the fuck is like!】
It was a blind spot in the tier classification method of the Middle Ages in the other world.
The mithril classes are all evaluated as one master, while classifying each other into several stages to determine who is stronger. I mean, the variance is huge.
50,000 combat power is also a Mithril class, and 110,000 is also a Mithril class.
Normally, there wouldn’t be as much variation as that, but the children of half-human, half-monster, half-dragon are a bit different. If it’s the same skill, weight class and mana will decide the outcome.
【The weak ones!】
─Ouddeuk! Awesome! The sound of bones wriggling!
Scales sprouted from Yonggary’s body as he screamed harshly.
Is it transformation? How dare you try to transform in front of me, the Z-Hero. If I use my authority, things will be solved right away, but it might be difficult to try while fighting.
But that was a mistake.
【Transformation can’t be done while fighting.】
─Tong! Kiara flying lightly.
As he kicked high with his short feet, the young dragonfish crossed his arms to block it. No, rather than blocking it, it seemed more accurate to say that he was beaten coolly.
【Kuu-!!】
It was Yonggary who felt the bloody wind pressure and shocked him before Kiara’s kick arrived, but it wasn’t that powerful to stop it. Yonggary flew like a piece of paper and fell off the altar.
【Oh shit! What is dribbling!】
【Come back. Please be careful.】
When I shouted out, the adventurer in the master class spoke briefly and boldly. As I was about to stick my head out to the bottom of the altar, I pulled my head back.
Sheeing-!! The blade’s tail grazed my mana coating.
【Kha… ! I don’t even have to ask what happened.]
─Flutter! A young dragonfish that gracefully spreads its arms and unified wings and turns. Even the head completely changed into a snake or a dragon, reminiscent of a wyvern.
However, the mana they hold and the strength of their bodies are quite different.
【Skolakiche-!! The outsiders who had accused her mother of being demons were brought to the altar! This is a sin that cannot be repaid even by death!!]
The young dragongary spewed flames from its mouth! I sprinted forward as the heat melted the rock altar into magma. The altar was narrower than expected.
Istetil growled as if he couldn’t fly and blew the aura from his claws.
【Anyone who talks about human sins!!】
【It’s weak to define yourself as a person, you guys!!】
Swish-! Yonggary avoids the aura. Keira took out something like an artifact from her
“An artifact that makes flying creatures fall. It’s convenient when dealing with monsters.”
“Why did you do this to me… Oh, slobber.”
I figured out the answer while asking a question. It was because Azteca’s soldiers, who were waiting under the altar to see if it was a congomul or an offering ceremony, were rampaging.
– Wow! Nefertiti blows off the heads of those warriors with a whipping onecom.
Still, there are many numbers. Since the enemy numbered in the hundreds, it seemed like they would be at a disadvantage in terms of numbers with only the Valkyries I had planted and the Skolakiche that were ambushing them.
Of course, that was within the expected range.
Soldier difference? It is meaningless in front of Valkyrie. Did you already see it in Fishman Raid? It would take less than 10 minutes for the numerical gap to reverse.
‘If it’s Nefertiti or the Valkyries, they’ll overcome.’
However, the problem is that each enemy is stronger than expected.
More than twice as strong as the skirmishers caught on the way! I expected it to be overpowered after about 5 minutes, but in this way, the enemy is missed or a death occurs during the scolakiche.
The ultimate goal is to annihilate the enemy and leave no casualties.
Until Valkyrie’s summoning of Einheri was on track, I needed someone to dictate the war situation, and it was either me or Kiara. Istetil is on revenge.
Roaring—!!
Kiara said while dodging the fire from the Yonggary.
“Would you like to go downstairs?”
“Nope. It seems like the right opponent for my level up.”
“Level up?”
Kiara, who twisted his head in a corner, smiled as if he understood roughly.
“Good. I’m coming.”
[Kooooo!!]
Even if he couldn’t understand the words, Yonggary Corps Commander, who was well versed in tactical tactics, focused the flames on Kiara. Golden flames poured out.
【It’s lukewarm. It’s not as good as a campfire when traveling alone.]
However, Kiara broke through casually and jumped under her altar. Yonggary was so shocked that he even stopped breathing fire and stopped in the air.
【This bastard, how can she get her mother’s flame?!】
Good timing I activated the artifact Kiara gave me.
─Click! The deceased adventurer’s equipment was perfect for switching. As if the way gravity suddenly changed, Yonggary fell while flapping his wings.
【Ugh!!】
【You goddamn bastard, where did you put your younger siblings!!】
Istetil charged, completely covering his weapon, his arm, with an aura. Yonggary responded by changing his wing arm into half-man, half-dragon mode.
【It’s been a long time since I’ve been trying to get my sacrifice back!! Kill it and take it!! It would be nice to test how long you can survive Mother’s wrath!!]
【I came with that in mind!!】
Chae-chae-chae-chae-!! A metallic noise erupted as his arms clashed against each other.
I tried to support Istetil from 1 step away, and while repeating the containment attack, I half-opened my eyes. The arms of the young dragonfish were not shining with mana.
‘That bastard, can’t he use Aura?’
No, if you think about it, it was worth it.
Aura is the mana of destruction that is created when mana is violently emitted from the human body!
It would be true that if you had that kind of power, you wouldn’t need an aura, but the fact that a monster couldn’t use an aura was in the same context as humans receiving the side effects of black magic.
Just like people can’t fly, monsters can’t use auras well.
A matter of aptitude and talent intertwined with all mana!
‘It’s just right.’
Tsapapapapapapapat—!!!
I wrapped the raised mana around Brunak. Fluorescent auras were emitted as if burning the air.
It is a suitable opponent to train your abilities as a warrior.
Excluding the tricks of mixing magic into battle as usual, the most effective enemy is to purely focus on the application and output of Aura.
【Istetil-san! Pride or revenge, which one is more important!]
【… Of course, revenge!]
Istetil, who saw my aura, immediately understood my words and switched roles. In an instant of teamwork, Yonggary widened his mouth to find an angle from which to emit flames.
【How stupid! Will humans and dragons interlock? As an impromptu link–]
Yonggary’s mouth closed. It must have been an intention to prevent us from melee combat with fake breaths, but since it wasn’t in the air, we couldn’t emit breaths that needed a quick start.
That would be the case, because I and Istetil’s breathing was almost as if they were one body.
Kaga-gaga–!!!
─Chae-chae-chae-chae-chae-chae-chaeng!!!
The spear extends as soon as it goes out of reach of the nail.
If I dodged the spear and stopped, ten nails attacked me, and my spear again covered the void created by the energy consumed by the onslaught.
When it backs away, the spear of Aura strikes down the blade with intensity as if it had been waiting for it. Fingernails cut through the side he was holding on to, causing bleeding that could not be ignored.
【This… What!】
The young dragonfish was so surprised that he had no time to even flinch. With his wings tied, he was pushed all the way, leaving a deep cut on his arm. His counterattack was second and he was unable to escape his body.
Of course, Istetil was also surprised.
Haha! You’re a ghostly spearman! I was wise because I didn’t fight!]
She bursts into laughter at her spearmanship, which perfectly matches her own breath, which is her only attack.
The young dragonfish was right. Istetil hated Azteca even though he was born with dragon blood. He hated cannibals. That’s why I couldn’t become as strong as the young dragonfish that eats people.
However, because she took on her own identity as a human, she awakened her aura.
A technique for humans to overcome strong opponents such as monsters and gods.
One pole symbolized by that technology was Auror.
And it’s new, but such a master’s technique was an obvious ‘spell’ to me.
【Because predicting the master’s movements is as easy as a multiplication table!】
─Glee! Odin’s eyes seemed to radiate light.
Istetil’s combat method, which he saw for the first time today, was not difficult at all beyond what was predicted. Feels like rehashing a song played by a rhythm game master.
─Kadeuk! Brunak dug out the scales of the pit of the stomach.
It was an achievement that I had been aiming for one point for a while.
Yonggary didn’t even notice because he was attacking so much.
【This!!】
Yonggary, who had finally noticed, swung his arm as if trying to hide the spot where the weakness was peeling off.
It was just an outburst. Even if you use your physical abilities to bounce it off, there is no way to shake off both of us at the same time. If one gets stuck, the other gets stuck right away.
When combined with Istetil’s battle method of charging without taking care of himself, the Aztec corps commander made a mistake in his judgment.
【Turn off… ?!】
– Empty!! Yonggary’s arms crossed over his shoulders.
Even a seasoned Go player makes a mistake if he has to place a stone every 10 seconds.
When Istetil made a mistake, I covered it, but what about that asshole’s mistake?
No one helps
【Search!!】
Istetil, whose pupil was torn vertically, grabbed Yonggary’s shoulders with both hands and strangely twisted his body. The claws of his claws spun and shredded the scales of his foes.
【Kuaaaaa!!!】
Is it a shout? Or is it the sound of pain? The cub, who had been emitting an indistinguishable roar, threw Istetil away with all his might.
─Quack!! She, who forgot her tail, was blown off her back.
【Stuffed dinosaur. This is not an archaeologist’s job.]
When Istetil bounced off like that, I stabbed Brünak, who had been fed a lot of aura, into the enemy’s stomach. The feeling of piercing the flesh was clear on the fingertips.
【My mother’s warrior cannot die with a single spear!!】
─Kwajik! Yonggary, whose face was distorted, grabbed Brunak’s spearhead.
【Asshole.】
I laughed and somersaulted like a cloud dragon. – Chuck! As soon as it landed on the floor at the same speed as it took off, it went to my hand and focused into a sphere.
【You shouldn’t have grabbed the weapon, you should have knocked me out.】
After all, there is nothing like fighting in a fight between people in the same weight class.
ᛒ (Berkanan), ᚱ (Raidō).
I put the runes of transformation and acceleration on the aura pulled on my waist, mixed it with a modern magic release technique, and emitted it with all my might.
Z-Hero Qigong-ryu Wuji.
【──Canadarapa.】
Fluorescent mana colored his eyes with green light.
Pi-yung- Kwaaaaang!!!
Like a cobra hit by a truck, the young dragonfish that had been hit by an aurortan on its scaled bare skin couldn’t even scream, and was blown to the altar and crashed.
Whoa… !! The aftermath of the shock shook the entire altar.
