Chapter 226 – Why Is XX There?
-My existence is the dregs of a dragon created by coincidence after coincidence. Even if you absorb me, you will not become great like them.
The dragon in the image spoke in a calm tone.
Sooooo~
Incongruent with such a reaction, its body was slowly becoming a particle of light, starting from the end.
And the light grains were absorbed by Jun without disappearing into thin air or being extinguished.
Jun felt his body boiling little by little.
The dragon in the image seemed to have noticed him and spoke with a deeper smile than before.
-But maybe half of them can become great. No, thanks to the Creator’s arrangements, I can become even greater than that.
“Lucy? Did you do something else?”
“Hehe. Not now, but before. “You said it would strengthen the foundation.”
“Ah, so that worked. Without even knowing that, I…”
Jun looked at Lucy with an apologetic expression.
It’s because Lucy didn’t tell him her reasons, but anyway, it’s true that he doesn’t trust her and is upset by her.
“There’s no need to be sorry, honey. Because it was well worth it. So for now, please enjoy the gift I have prepared for you.”
Lucy whispers such lovely words.
Jun could not control his emotions and tried to kiss her.
However,
“Now is the time to unwrap presents. Kiss time later. Got it?”
Lucy placed her index finger in front of her lips to block her kiss.
I thought about forcing a kiss, but stopped because I was curious about her gift.
-By absorbing me, you will be reborn as one of the great races and the greatest dragon. Half-human, half-dragon, dragon people have a superior racial value that cannot even be compared to ordinary humans, thanks to the dragon blood flowing in their bodies. However, there is another reason why they are considered the best.
The power of the dragon.
Yongin was able to use something that could even compete with the power of God. Among the many dragon powers, there was only one random one.
-But you are different! Thanks to the Creator’s arrangement, you have been able to use the power of vengeance. This is one of them.
The dragon’s body in the image was completely crumbled and absorbed into Jun.
At the same time, the name of the power given to him appeared in Jun’s mind.
“The body of a dragon.”
-This is a power that arose when the dragon image you created to project onto yourself was strengthened. That power will gift you tremendous physical abilities. Its strength may be slightly less than that of a giant, but its defense will be superior to that of a giant.
The dragon in the image, whose body had disappeared and only a pure white sphere remained, proudly declared.
He even absorbed the core that made up himself into Jun’s body.
-Heart of the Dragon, aka Dragon Heart! The status of a dragon that was handed over to you at the moment of death by a small creature that was so ruined that it could not even be classified as a dragon species, is the power that arose as it was strengthened. There is no need to explain the power of this authority, right?
The dragon’s voice echoes in my head.
Although Jun felt uncomfortable, he nodded at the voice.
‘Was that power back then the power of Dragon Heart?’
When I forcibly pressed Bigfoot Shaman, the dragon’s roar was heard and the core’s performance increased several times.
I was wondering if it would be possible to see such a huge amplification rate, and as expected, the power of Dragon Heart was activated at that time.
Simply considering the performance of the core, wouldn’t it be better when activating the power of Dragon Heart than when fusion with Fortuna?
Isn’t this too much of a scam to be even better than when combined with an angel?
-It’s still too early to be satisfied!
“There’s still more?
-Yes! Because dragons are greedy creatures!
What does that have to do with that?
Jun asked a question, but the dragon in the image once again said only what he wanted to say.
-Dragon’s attributes! It is the power of the dragon dissolved in the elixir-dragon blood! Dragons have the same dominance as the Spirit King in only one attribute. Now, choose, girl. What attribute do you want to dominate? Originally, it was selected at random, but now that you are trying to pervert as a dragon, if you have the rare morale skill called Realize, you will be able to choose the attribute you want!
“I recommend electricity, honey. Of course, adding new attributes is nice, but you already have two powerful attributes: space and electricity. Rather than adding a new attribute now, it would be better to choose the electric attribute and break through the affinity blocked by ‘restrictions’.”
Lucy’s suggestion definitely made sense.
Spatial affinity comparable to superpower.
In order to get him, Jun put a ‘restriction’ on his other attribute affinities that went beyond the lowest level and fixed them at a level that was almost non-existent.
Because of this, even though it was possible to emit electricity, it could not be used freely without ‘Skill-Realize’.
Not only could he not control the emitted electricity, but his affinity was so low that he could get electrocuted by his own electricity.
So far, I have survived by controlling it as much as possible with Realize and maximizing my electrical resistance through body modification, but if I can increase my electrical affinity with the power of the dragon, which can compete with the power of God, I no longer need to operate in such a rigid manner. Br〉
-What are you talking about! Obtain new attributes without fail! Strengthening an attribute that already exists is something a greedy dragon should not do!
But the dragon seemed to have a different idea.
As if he had lost his head as his body disappeared, he loudly opposed Lucy’s opinion and expressed his own opinion, as if he had noticed at some point.
He expressed it so passionately that it seemed like he was about to spout fire.
-Fire. That would be nice. Wind and water are no different from those obtained by Siliens and Lachies. My dear, choose the fire attribute. There is no attribute more familiar to dragons than fire!
“You’re talking nonsense again. Dragons are familiar with all attributes! Honey, ignore what this seemingly incompetent kid says and do as I say. Yes?”
-That’s not enough! Even though I’m just trashed, I’m definitely a dragon! No matter how much he is the Creator, he cannot forgive such an insult.
“Screaming loudly again. Are you fearlessly saying that it will disappear soon? Just wait and see, the moment she makes her choice, she will just take your personality and put it somewhere else.”
After that, Lucy started talking about how she would infuse her personality into something and harass her.
It must have been so scary that the dragon couldn’t even talk back properly and just cried out ‘Hi!’.
‘I don’t mind fighting, but can’t we do it somewhere else?’
The dragon’s cry rings in my head and Lucy’s threats ring in my ears.
Because of that, it was so noisy that I couldn’t think properly.
Jun sighed and looked up into space.
Pitch-black darkness without the slightest light filled my field of vision.
Now that I think about it, it was a very familiar sight.
I can’t see it anymore, but it’s definitely because of the ‘thing’ that filled the subspace until Dohwa came…
‘Wait, does that even work?’
Does ‘that’ also fall into the category of attributes?
I couldn’t figure it out. She asked Lucy, but she also expressed her confusion and said she didn’t know.
That stimulated Jun’s taste.
“Of course not, right?”
“Lucy, you know what? “No way, it catches people.”
Jun smiled and imagined.
The image of myself becoming a ruler.
――――――
“How on earth did they disable the brainwashing device?”
The representative, leader of the resistance, Victor asked Elysia.
Perhaps because he had absolute confidence in the brainwashing device, he did not even think about treating the area where his finger was torn off.
“Thanks to this.”
In response to that question, Elysia took out what she was wearing around her neck.
It was an amulet that Jun gave to Elysia and Iris just before they left Lemumuni.
“It’s a talisman that you can commonly see anywhere. So is there something in it?”
“I got it right.”
Inside the small glass bottle inside the amulet was a ‘homunculus’ made using Jun’s blood as a base.
Homunculus.
This artificial life form, named little person in ancient language, can use the abilities of the owner of the blood on which it is based if someone grants it mana.
It was a ridiculous effect, but it had its drawbacks.
It was very difficult to make, the cost of making it was very, very expensive, and the moment it was given mana, it died at a rapid rate, so the time for the effect to be seen was extremely short.
So, there were very few people who knew how to make it or were willing to make it, but Jun, who was worried about his wives who would separate from him, searched around and found an alchemist who knew how to make it.
He paid a lot of money to create two homunculuses based on his own blood, specialized in flight and evasion, and gave them to his two wives.
Even though he really hated climbing the mountain on the 29th and 30th floor, he broke his will right away when Dohwa said that he had to make money.
Anyway, just before using her brainwashing device, Elysia infused mana into Homun Closu, and thanks to Jun’s ‘superpower – thinking’ and ‘characteristic – endless mental power’, she was able to safely nullify the brainwashing. Br〉
After that, he pretended to be brainwashed and took advantage of the enemy’s carelessness by moving through space and rescuing the hostages.
Since she had no intention of explaining that, Elysia used her sword and shield instead of her mouth.
In a situation filled with the sounds of clashing blades, harsh shouts, and urgent screams, she was once again amazed.
‘Darling lived in a world like this.’
In a world where everything had slowed down, she was moving at an unusually fast pace.
She could clearly see things that were not in her field of vision as if she were looking through a magnifying glass, and her body was moving almost simultaneously with her thoughts.
Superpowers and traits, magic and specialization, auras and traits.
All forces were coming together as one, creating great synergy. After experiencing it herself, she understood how he had become so strong at such a young age.
“Why! How on earth!”
Victor, whose whole body was covered in blood, shouted with the feeling of vomiting blood.
It had to be that way, because there were many comrades here who were at the same level as her and whose skills were one level below her.
No matter how much of a warrior she was, it was a situation she could not afford to lose.
But the reality was different.
Instead of pushing her, she was being pushed unilaterally against her.
Victor wanted to believe that he was struggling in a nightmare.
But this situation was a stark reality, and he had to make a decision before he lost more of his comrades.
‘I can’t. I didn’t want to use this method as much as possible because it seemed like they were acting according to their thoughts.’
“Comrades! “Plan B!”
“Old!”
Resistance members, including Victor, all took something out of their pockets.
Elysia, sensing something ominous, hurriedly rushed at Victor and swung her sword towards his neck, but
Suddenly!
Just before her sword reached his neck, he disappeared one step ahead.
In the place where he was, there was only one arm with his fingers intact.
“… Did it move somewhere within the labyrinth?”
Leon, who was guarding her hostages, approached Elysia, who was holding her arm just in case.
Elysia shook her head firmly and said.
“No, they must have gone out of the labyrinth.”
“Yes? Even though this is a low-class labyrinth, is that possible?”
Between the labyrinth and the ground, there was a strong gate (border) created by the god Bright, and the gate could only be passed through the entrance to the sanctuary or the next floor.
But how on earth did you ignore that law and go straight to the ground?
“I have a rough guess, but I don’t think I have time to explain. Let’s move quickly.”
“Yes? But it’s not a situation where the kids can move.”
“Then move on your back.”
Coogung!
“Unless you want to be swallowed up by the void.”
