Chapter 538. Black Dragon ‘Pendragon’ (1)

Parts!

The heat transmitted through the window.

The black salt that lit up the day seemed like watching a solar eclipse.

Jinhyeok reflexively chanted magic.

[Triple Magic – ‘Ice Shield’ activates!]

[Glacial Sculpting – ‘Absolute Freeze’ activates!]

Damn it!

In an instant, the entire window froze.

at the same time.

Kwak Kwah Kwah Kwah!

Huge flames hit the building.

A shock beyond imagination.

All the windows attached to the outer walls were smashed.

Shards of broken glass could not stand the heat and evaporated.

“Aaaagh!”

“Look at the sky over there…!”

“What is this all of a sudden…”

“Run away!”

The magic engineers in the workshop screamed at the unexpected attack.

It is not an area where monsters appear. Since the center of Refloor was attacked, of course it was absurd.

In particular, the third floor, which was directly hit, was completely reduced to ashes, except where Jinhyeok was.

A hell of screams and flames mingled together.

Pendragon, floating in the air, looked into the workshop.

“Huh…”

A short exclamation came out of his mouth.

Everything turned into ruins, but the ice walls remained intact.

Just seeing this level of ice magic used in that short moment was enough to stimulate interest.

“You seem to be the one who’s been making a fuss in the tower lately.”

“Yeah. Have I become a bit famous lately? I didn’t really realize it, but if a lizard pretended to know it out of nowhere.”

“Lizard…. ha ha ha. When was the last time you saw someone talking like that to this body? It’s so far away that I can’t even remember.”

Pendragon brushed his hair.

Truly an eternity of time.

Always reigning as the pinnacle of the species, he regarded all life other than himself as a bug.

But how dare a bug like that speak to itself like that?

[Pandragon Lv??? I activate ‘Black Flame Ball’!]

“The purpose is that you have an ancient dragon… but I think you need some training before we can talk.”

The black fireballs on my fingertips increased in size in the blink of an eye.

Even from a distance, you can feel the suffocating heat.

Roaring!

The fireball aimed at Jinhyeok’s front.

You must not fight with the same fire.

Even with ‘The Beginning Flame’ or ‘Kaska Diaslav’, it was impossible to surpass the Black Flame Ball.

If that’s the case…

[Glacier type ‘Ice Age’ will be activated!]

The only thing to do is to offset it as much as possible with the opposite ability.

Layers of ice barriers once again blocked the fireball.

Wow!

…Cheeyiik!

A huge amount of water vapor spewed out.

But there is no time to check the sight.

Pupperpuppung!

A series of black salt balls poured like crazy.

“Aagh! Go, player Kang Jin-hyuk!”

Isaac screamed, covering his head with both hands.

“Heh heh… Shibure. I’ll just have a drink in my workshop and drink it finely. I came all the way here to try to live with that demon and ended up getting burned.”

As if giving up on everything, Orun took out a cigar from his pocket and asked.

It’s been a long time since I gave up my life neatly while watching the whole building collapse.

‘Certainly an ancient species is an ancient species.’

I knew we would see each other sooner or later, but I didn’t expect that to be the point at which ‘The Coronation of Napoleon’ was unfinished.

I wish I had come a day later.

However, it is useless to blame the wrong timing now.

Jinhyeok’s head started to spin rapidly.

There is only one way to deal with these lizards without harming the residents and the city…

…I can only think of one.

“Inspired.”

Jinhyeok called to Orun, who was drinking.

“Gulp… What’s going on?”

“When I signal, run as fast as you can. Isaac. you also.”

“Run? which way…?”

“If the dragon is your opponent, it will be useless no matter where you go.”

Orun and Isaac made faces that didn’t make sense.

The opponent is a dragon.

Even if you try to escape, it is nothing more than dancing on the Buddha’s palm.

As the saying goes, no place in Reflor was safe from Pendragon.

Only one.

“I’m going to the entrance of the ruins.”

Except for the ruins with nanoleafs.

“Couldn’t it be… are you saying we’re going into the wolf’s den to avoid the tiger?”

“This crazy…”

“That’s the most efficient way.”

During the truce period, the nano-reef must be extensively reinforcing the ruins.

I don’t know, but I must have prepared many times more powerful traps and cards than when Creed was there.

The corners of Jinhyuk’s mouth went up.

Already, the sight of the two boss monsters in perplexity seemed to flicker in their eyes.

???

Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa!

As the black salt poured in again, the ice wall completely melted.

“Are we done with the petty pranks? So… what are you going to do now?”

Pendragon let out a mocking laugh.

however.

[‘Daylight’ activates!]

The light flashed, turning my vision white.

The expectation of counterattacking or preparing another barrier was completely wrong.

“Bounce!”

With a shout, Jinhyeok chose to run away.

Pendragon, frowning at the strong light, looked at the empty third floor.

Everyone had already disappeared from the building a long time ago.

“…The one who is stronger than the residents chooses the least fun route. Did you foolishly think you could run away from this body?”

The location of Jinhyeok and the rest of the gang has already been accurately detected by magic detection.

It’s not that difficult to chase and kill.

‘Fix coordinates’ ‘Teleport’.

It took less than a second for the high circle magic to activate.

The view changed and a new place appeared, not a workshop.

“…What is this place?”

This time, even Pendragon couldn’t help but panic.

I wondered where they would run to, but I never thought that place would be the ‘ruins’, which are said to be the most complex and difficult on the 33rd floor.

Besides, isn’t Jinhyeok standing at the entrance to the gate that Nanoleaf opened before?

If you went inside, it would be like declaring war on the boss monster of the ruins.

“Come on. Is this your first time seeing ruins?”

Jinhyeok bowed deeply and replaced the greeting.

“Did you think I wouldn’t be able to catch up with this damn rat… if he got in there?”

“It’s not my job to predict that. You’ll know after a while whether you’ll follow me or not.”

A blatant provocation.

Pendragon was furious at the sight of Jinhyeok entering the gate, snapping his fingers.

At first, if the purpose was to defeat a troublesome enemy…

…Now, he was full of only one thought to tear that abominable human to shreds.

Quaang!

Pendragon followed into the gate without hesitation.

???

blame!

Jinhyeok, who entered the ruins, moved as quickly as possible.

The terrifying feeling of living behind your back.

If you hesitate even a little bit, you will be able to feel the anger of the ancient dragon.

‘Still, thanks to provocation, only I’m chasing.’

Orun and Isaac have been sent to the exact opposite, so they should be safe for the time being.

Now it’s time to focus on 1:1 hide and seek.

Right then.

[Nanoleaf asks if this is different from a contract!]

The red status window blinked.

The promise between the two is 3 days.

However, Jinhyeok returned to the ruins faster than that.

“I also try to keep promises if possible, but this time I couldn’t help it. Can you see behind me?”

Jinhyeok pointed to the back where black flames were burning.

It was impossible to ignore the presence of Pendragon, who was rampaging along the road.

[The nanoleaf asks why the dragon came here.]

The indirect message flashed again.

Judging from the fact that the status window was dyed much more red than before, he must have been very wary of Pendragon’s appearance.

‘Well, no matter who sees it, it’ll look like they’re trying to steal the ruins.’

This side has been able to use this misunderstanding to their advantage.

Jinhyuk adjusted his expression.

Big! greatness!

“That’s… the dragon must be greedy for raw vegetables. In the first place, my goal was to unravel the secrets of magic engineering and spirits here. So I was looking for information here and there, but after hearing it, Pendragon wanted to devour this ruin whole. Are you saying that the legacy left by the fire spirit king is coveted? But I can’t bear to watch such tyranny, so I’m here to warn you.”

There is no need for saliva in the mouth.

It was because the lies that came out like a liquidation flow when you opened your mouth had already reached the state.

[…!]

At Jinhyeok’s words, the nanoleaf hesitated.

I simply thought of Jin-hyeok as an enemy, but to think that he was so deep and truly understood the 33rd floor.

The prejudices of the past disappeared like snow melting.

As if to prove that feeling.

Chunk! cooong!

The traps that were tightly placed along the wall stopped.

The red light changed to green and he began to recognize Jinhyeok as an ally.

Instead, the turrets aimed at Pendragon in unison.

What followed was a deafening explosion.

Whoops!

Kwaaang!

“Kuk!”

A shield spread around Pendragon.

The casting itself was omitted due to the dragon language, but the bombardment that poured like a storm was annoying.

More than anything, I couldn’t understand why the nanoleaf was only attacking itself.

‘Couldn’t that person have done something ridiculous?’

Seeing him smirking, his doubts turned into certainties.

“Nanoleaf! Don’t be fooled! I am not you, but that person is my goal!”

“Oops. A person like that killed all the sages in the crystal tower? There’s no way that Reflore and each of the ruins don’t know that they signed a non-aggression pact with each other, right?”

[Nanorif panics at the new information.]

[Asks back if the other two wise men are also dead.]

“Yes, that guy is the culprit. No matter what happens to the 33rd floor, he’s only trying to take care of himself.”

To be honest, I don’t know if the rest of the sages are dead or alive.

However, if it was Pendragon’s personality, there was a high probability that he would have eliminated the two when the plan went awry.

[Nano-Leaf’s hostility rises to the maximum level!]

A red exclamation mark floated above Pendragon’s head.

It means that now it is completely recognized as an enemy.

Cracks formed in the ground, and golems with giant crystal balls stood up.

Golems wielding long spears completely surrounded Pendragon.

however.

“The flies are bothering you.”

No matter how much you build a siege and activate the turrets.

The opponent is an ancient dragon.

Even ordinary dragons are non-standard beings, much less ancient dragons were natural disasters that could not be helped by individual powers.

light gesture.

The golems that were blocking my way were scattered as a handful of dust with just the murmur of my

lips .

Again, a monster is a monster.

Jinhyeok frowned at the majesty of the ancient dragon that had fully awakened to adulthood.

‘I have to pull the strands towards joining the nanoleaf as soon as possible… but it wouldn’t be easy to shake off at this rate, right?’

The trap was neutralized faster than expected.

It should have been enough to hold my ankles, but I couldn’t even brush my collar at all.

There is nothing you can do about it.

I have no choice but to give the other person what they want as bait to take their time.

Jinhyeok activated the subspace inventory.

What came out of the shimmering surface was the fire spirit ‘Salamander’ with flames in its mouth.

“master!”

Salamander saw Jinhyeok and vigorously waggled his tail.

I noticed that it was very nice to meet the owner.

But the joy of reunion was short-lived.

“Sorry. It’s Salamander.”

“huh?”

“Go ahead and buy me some time.”

Jinhyeok first dressed the salamander in black scales and then put on yellow circle lenses.

It was a bonus that I put a tape on which the sound of ‘Mooogiii’ was recorded.

“Master, what is this…”

“Hello.”

Before the Salamander’s question was even finished, Jinhyeok grabbed the Salamander’s torso and threw it backwards.

Directly in the direction the pendragon was flying.
