Chapter 286 – Meet the Dragon (1)
After arriving in another dimension through the glass world feeling a little dizzy, I looked around.
“It’s cave-like.”
A dungeon with no traces of management or human touch at all.
As I knew, it was a dungeon-type glass world.
[Rating: A-}
[Level 1: Black Troll 31/31]
‘The first floor is a black troll.’
In fact, the only information I know is that it is a dungeon-type glass world made up of caves.
This glass world was originally destined to be owned by a middle-ranking guild.
“But this glass world is mine now, Hyewon.”
“Huh.”
You can’t miss such a good Magi farming time.
“Are you ready?”
“Yeah, can we eat a lot today?”
“Huh.”
Black trolls are B-grade.
Considering that this is not the glass world of the garden, it must be an enemy on the same level as the Minotaur.
It was dark inside the cave, so I couldn’t see an inch in front of me.
‘Light’
A small ball-shaped light appeared in one place and shone brighter, illuminating the surroundings.
And search skills.
When I checked the surroundings using the search skill, it was not a wide hollow type, but a complicatedly twisted maze type.
I moved my steps towards the nearest black troll.
The black troll’s ability is a tremendous regeneration speed and tough hide. Awesome power.
Even if it attacks, it is difficult to inflict fatal wounds due to its high defense.
Its tremendous regenerative power heals those wounds in an instant.
Black Troll’s strategy is simple.
Either cut through his massive defense, or continue to hurt him until his regenerative power runs out.
I used demonization right away.
Magi: 59 (Demonization +113)
Due to demonization, the amount of Magi stats increased at once.
Also, if you use demonic energy while demonized, the consumption of mental power is reduced, allowing you to control it more precisely.
Of course, there is no exact number, but it was felt.
“Kreureung…”
And soon after, my first encounter with a black troll.
As soon as the black troll found me, holding a huge wooden club, it charged me and I condensed the demonic energy in my hand.
The shape of a long pointed spear.
Activate all buffs, raise stats, and javelin.
The black troll tried to dodge the flying spear, but I consumed my mental strength and turned the spear’s trajectory.
“Kreuk…!”
The hunt ended easily as Magi’s spear pierced the black troll’s heart.
“Hyewon, go and eat.”
“Huh!”
‘It’s nothing.’
This attack seemed pretty straightforward.
∴
As I expected, the monsters in the dungeon were not my opponents.
We attacked the floor one by one without any major risk and reached the 10th floor, the lowest floor.
What monster will appear this time?
I want to finish it as soon as possible and go back.
“… What.”
After reaching the 10th floor, as soon as I took a step forward, the light that was responsible for my vision went out.
And that wasn’t all.
“Mana… Doesn’t move…?!”
I tried to use the light by moving the mana again, but the circulation of the mana flowing in my body completely stopped as if time had stopped.
‘What, what is it?’
Was it a dungeon with such a device?
Or is it a monster that controls mana?
‘Ummm…’
A monster that prevents you from using mana.
There were no monsters that immediately came to mind.
Is it a rare monster?
Anyway, the A-class world of glass.
A monster that fits the grade will come out, so even if you can’t use mana, it will be a monster that fits the A- grade.
One step, one step.
I moved forward, hiding my footsteps as much as possible.
In a dark space where there was no search and no one could see an inch ahead, I felt an eerie feeling for some reason.
Close your eyes slowly.
It was useless to rely on eyesight in the lowest level of a dark cave where there was no light anyway.
It feels
By concentrating your senses as much as possible, you feel it not with your eyes, but with your senses of smell, hearing, and touch.
When I went forward like that and came to a corner and turned right.
“Welcome.”
Voice heard.
Even though I only heard the voice, the effect was enormous.
Goosebumps all over my body, from the tips of my toes to my face, and my heart started to beat rapidly.
As if to run away.
It was ringing the alarm like crazy.
“Why are your eyes… Ah, since you’re human, it’s because you can’t see.”
At that moment, a bright light streamed in between my closed eyes and I slowly opened my eyes.
A huge creature holding a treasure chest containing 10 spirit stones.
Red scales and sharp claws. Huge wings and a blunt tail.
It seemed as if the red eyes staring at me were looking right through me.
“Dragon…?”
Am I not seeing well?
Ruler and pinnacle of all monsters.
In the distant future, the existence of an overwhelming force that will be rated from the SS level to the SSS level.
“Fucked.”
Suddenly, such an existence is lying carefree in the world of A-class glass and talking to me.
‘What do we do.’
What to do, what to do
Should pop out
It was common knowledge in [Academy’s Hero] That if you meet a dragon, you are always a rabbit until you hit the final item in the latter half and get 6 transcendence skills.
The moment you turn your back and try to run away.
“Isn’t your father talking?”
“Ha… Shipper.”
This time, a red dragon, even smaller in size than the one I just faced, blocked my escape route.
A dragon in its growth phase that has not fully matured yet.
Still, hunting level S-class or higher
It’s a quandary.
“Ah… I’m sorry to disturb you while you’re resting. I have some urgent business to do, so it’s okay to go now…”
“Why are you in such a hurry. Come here.”
“… Yes.”
Even if you die anyway, if you resurrect, that’s it.
Even if we fight, we won’t be able to last even a minute anyway. You should just listen carefully.
‘That’s…’
As the dragon approached him, he saw a magic stone fallen on the floor.
Judging by the size, it’s roughly an A-class magic stone.
“They suddenly jumped at me. So I helped them.”
“That’s right…”
I wanted something, but until I kindly explained it.
I wanted to go home soon.
“Sit there.”
The dragon rolled his eyes and looked at the rock on one side.
Some eyes are bigger than my body.
“Don’t worry, I have no intention of hurting you. But the Magi I feel from you is a little unpleasant.”
Are you talking about my demonization?
There’s no reason to scrape it and make a bruise.
“Then I understand.”
I immediately disarmed and the dragon nodded in satisfaction.
Fortunately, my judgment was not wrong.
I wondered if it was for the purpose of weakening me, but it was a dragon.
It must be an opponent with at least Riel’s power, but it’s the same whether or not he’s demonized.
Even if I use all the 1.3 million spirits I have now, I don’t have the confidence to scratch the scales.
I don’t know why the dragon suddenly took an interest in me, but I didn’t go against my heart.
I still can’t resist Riel’s words.
But now it was a real exhaust dragon.
I decided to just observe the situation.
“… Hello. My name is Kim Si-woo. For some unknown reason, I was able to use Magi, but I’m essentially a human.”
Since Magi said it was uncomfortable, it was clear that he had a crush on the devil.
Since I’m a dragon anyway, I’ll have a dragon’s face, so I decided to prove my innocence.
“Hmm, yes. I’m Pascana, the dragon. That’s Khanna, my daughter, and you see, the dragon.”
“That’s right…”
Silence for a while.
Vertically slit pupils and red irises that looked longer than my height were looking down at me as if they were looking at me, and I got goosebumps all over my body.
Does this guy have no intention of drying up his cold sweat?
I feel like I’m choking on my breath.
“Hmm, okay, let’s move places first.”
When the dragon finished speaking, the scenery in my eyes changed completely.
“And…”
The flowers blooming on the cliffs of the canyon alone were spectacular, but outside the canyon was more than that.
A vast meadow stretching all the way to the horizon.
Sunlit clouds stretched across the sky, shining white, and the grass and flowers that grew in the meadow danced whenever a cool breeze blew.
And in the middle of the meadow, red fruits were hanging from the trees growing in clusters.
While admiring the scenery.
-Thump.
The ground shook, so I turned my head to check and saw that the dragon was approaching me.
“You can’t keep your mouth shut, is there anything special?”
“No, it’s just because the scenery is pretty…”
“Hmm? I see.”
It was very beautiful to see nature untouched by humans.
While I was looking at the scenery a little more like that.
“I didn’t come to you to show you this.”
The dragon bowed his head and stuck his head to the ground.
My vision filled with dragon eyes.
“You’re looking for me, do you have any business with me…?”
“It’s a business, so come with me.”
The dragon closed and opened its eyes.
At the same time, a huge amount of mana flowed out to the extent that the whole body felt chilly, and then gathered in one place.
The clumped mana started to rotate like a whirlpool and gradually grew in size until something bigger than the dragon’s body appeared.
“What is this?”
“It’s magic that humans used. It’s a door that connects to other places.”
“A teleportation device…?”
The teleportation device that I often use is the best invention of modern science and magic combined.
That’s why the enormous installation cost and consumption of a huge number of manastones for each use, but the dragon blinked once and created a warp gate.
Even though it was a huge warp gate that even the dragon Fascana could fit into, he didn’t even show signs of getting tired.
“Well, something similar. Go in first.”
“… If.”
“Don’t worry, I don’t mean to hurt you. If I meant to hurt you, then I don’t have to go through this trouble.”
“… All right.”
I have no idea if it came out of the glass world.
Is this part of the glass world? Or is it outside?
Still, it seemed that he had no intention of hurting me, and even if he tried to hurt me, there was nothing he could do.
Entered the warp gate.
I felt the slight dizziness I felt every time I entered the glass world, and I noticed that the air itself had changed.
Simply, the air was reduced.
I looked around.
“No, where is this?”
All around was white.
The distant horizon was covered with white clouds, and if you looked under your feet right away, you could tell that this was a mountain peak protruding above the clouds.
What is unique is that they are all made of rocks.
The top of the rocky mountain was flat enough to make you think it was cut like this on purpose, and it was wide enough to leave room for 20 dragons, roughly the size of Pascana.
“Welcome.”
Another voice came this time.
At the slightly feminine voice, I turned my head to check and there was a red wyvern lying in a nest-like place.
“Hello. Excuse me.”
At my words, the wyvern stood up without any answer and approached the warp gate.
Immediately, the dragon began to appear gradually from the warp gate.
“Are you back? I’ve been waiting for you.”
Wyvern approached Pascana and leaned on him.
“Sorry to keep you waiting. Oh, this is Helen. This is my wife.”
“You are the honored guest Pascana spoke of. Welcome.”
The Red Wyvern looked at me and said.
Judging from the fact that the huge snout was raised slightly, it must have been a slight smile.
But it’s just as terrifying as it is scary.
If it was an adult Wyvern, it would be between S- and SS-rank hunting.
“Helen, where is Mark?”
“They said there was a fight in the area, and they said they were going to sort things out.”
“I see, I understand. Did you say Siwoo? Follow me.”
“Yes.”
Pascana moved his arms and legs to a section of the rock and I followed him.
And when I looked closely, the top of the rocky mountain was painted in various colors.
Some parts were red, some were blue, black and white, and gold, each keeping a certain size.
“Do you know Kryne?”
“Kryne… Are you talking?”
Of course you can’t know
The gift Riel gave was the heart of the dragon named Kraine.
