Episode 459: You will be blessed like that (5)
Commandment turned his head as he felt one of the mental barriers he had placed on others being broken. Then, beyond the air currents that formed like a smoke screen, a huge dragon appeared.
“….”
She flipped her fluttering hair around so as not to block her vision, and clenched the strap of her parachute. Accordingly, the dark blue parachute she chose was slightly distorted.
Flap!
The speed of the parachute’s fall in the rising air current slows down, but then it rises upward and its direction is slightly twisted. However, half of her field of vision was still filled with the dragon’s body, and she couldn’t see what she was looking for.
Gye-myung’s eyebrows trembled.
Purr.
In the meantime, the air current that lost momentum for a moment began to drop her, just as predicted. The moment I reached the barrier, I fell so fast that the altitude could have been dangerous.
Click.
But this is not predictable.
She took out a spare item she had made with her rights as a researcher—of course, none of it belonged to anyone else—and pushed the lid off with her thumbnail. A thin film like a soap bubble popped out from the mouth of a small container.
The floating,
transparent but shiny membrane floated like a balloon and supported the inside of the parachute. The parachute string got in the way, but the membrane just split and came back together like water.
The round membrane that passed through the string and touched the fabric of the parachute began to push the parachute further into the air. Her body rose at high speed in an instant thanks to the thin film.
Flap!
Kioooo!
At the same time, a demon passed by her feet. It seemed clear that even if the ascent had been delayed just a little, it would have collided.
If you don’t get one right, that’s okay. Commandment calmly let go of her crisis, and the devil who passed her briefly flapped his wings to turn.
Pow!
However, it was shot down before it could fully turn around, and there was no need to see the cause. Wedge! Another black arrow pierced the demon hovering near her.
─We will prepare for landing!
And at that moment, the radio in my ear started making noise. It was a notification that completely ignored the terms and format established for communication.
“after.”
Well, I never believed they would keep the format. Gye-myung quickly shook off his discomfort and adjusted his parachute. Soon the golden landing pad came into view.
“Have you arrived?”
“okay.”
She quickly scanned the faces of the landing pad. The warrior and his sword A man at his old workplace A man who uses his fists. That was the end.
Gye-myung’s eyes looked at his feet and then looked straight ahead again. The hero’s sword was seen neutralizing the barrier.
“Are you two still unable to communicate?”
“Yes… not yet…”
There is nothing much that can be done until the barrier is lifted. Commandment felt the wind blowing hundreds of meters in the air and caught a glimpse of the expanded Earth.
Quad deuk!
Along with the sound of the bloody wind, the expansion of the Earth was actually visible before the dragon’s large figure filled the field of view. The tail of a huge dragon, whose body is over a hundred meters long, is waving roughly a hundred meters away.
“…?”
But suddenly, a light twinkled above the tail. It was a brilliance of a completely different quality from the reflected light emitted by the dragon’s scales.
If we are to be specific, it is a form that can only be created when metal is exposed to sunlight. And as far as she knew, that dragon doesn’t have anything metallic hanging from its tail.
Gye-myung’s eyes narrowed.
──!
Then wait a moment. Her mouth opened slightly and her hand slightly lifted. On her watch, a dot thrown from the brilliance of the metal is growing in an ugly way.
“Wow wow!”
“Eh?”
“…?”
And when the sound the dot made reached everyone here, the commandment put down its raised hand again.
“Hold on to you.”
“Why are you making me do it?”
“Because it is the most efficient.”
“under. “You often say that you are weak.”
She quietly stood aside. Also, the crusher that took his place was just getting ready to catch something flying.
“Wow!”
Thump!
Soon something, or rather a person, flew in and was caught in the Crusher’s hand and spun round and round. It was rotating to drain the energy generated while flying, but by the time the rotation stopped, the subject’s ears were drooping.
“Uuuhhh.”
“Ugh”
“Newbie!”
“The inside of the cow…”
Lord Zrya finally fainted.
“Good luck.”
Meanwhile, Berserk turned around after confirming that the person he had sent had arrived at his destination. It was natural because she couldn’t jump over a hundred meters at once. However, it is no longer possible to use the parachute, the end of which has been torn off by the dragon’s teeth.
『I have to follow…』
Of course, if I really wanted to join, I would have abandoned that young knight long ago. The time I wasted taking care of that young knight was a whopping 2 minutes, and with that amount of time, the distance between the end of the tail and the point of arrival would have been a distance where I could still jump.
『You can’t miss it this time…』
Despite this, Berserk chose to take care of the young man. The reason was because the young man’s cheeks were pale. That was it.
Pajik Pajik.
“Tsk.”
The problem is that she can’t convey this fact to the other side right away… She glanced at what was placed on her hand. What was once a walkie-talkie is now split in half, occasionally leaking something stinging.
“It’s poor.”
For your information, there is no particular reason why the radio is shaped the way it is. She just tapped the radio a few times because it didn’t seem to work. There is the fact that she herself did not know how to use the walkie-talkie properly before that, but anyway.
“after.”
Still, I sent the young driver flying over there in place of the radio. So she will understand why he had to do this.
That’s how Berserk ended his thoughts. Now all that’s left is for her to decide what to do on the dragon’s body.
“I wanted to hunt a dragon at least once.”
Is there anything that needs to be decided? Berserk grinned, tapping the scales of the dragon he was stepping on with the sole of his foot.
“If you stay in there for half a day, I’ll lose some face.”
It took the adventurer a little over half a day to catch the sea dragon, so she said she would catch it within that time. Because I can’t lose to someone younger than her.
Berserk’s legs raced towards the dragon’s head again.
* * *
Assassination is not a simple act of surprise attack from behind.
It is something that must be done carefully, taking into account all circumstances, such as the surrounding gaze, obstacles formed by objects, the strength of the object, and the subject itself. It was difficult for that series of processes to result in success unless there was very delicate and precise coordination.
And in that respect, Deathbringer was clearly an expert. It was well-deserved recognition because he was aware of his own abilities, knew how to measure his surroundings, and was even able to measure the strength of others relatively accurately.
‘…How can you stab that damn thing?’
However, it was difficult to come up with an estimate this time. The reason was not that the opponent was too strong, but that they were too cruel.
Quang!
[Like humans!]
“Oh, you lazy, lazy person.”
There are definitely a lot of gaps. I’m sure I’m confident that I won’t notice until the moment I approach and stab him.
But what if getting closer is impossible?
“That’s why you can’t do it.”
[A pierced mouth…!]
“Because you are too lazy to be lazy.”
It is visible that the devil himself is unable to control his power and only expresses it indiscriminately. However, because it gave it anomalous properties, access became difficult.
The lack of skill that would be said to be good for people like adventurers or saenims becomes an unexpected hindrance to people like that. It couldn’t have been anything more than a damn thing.
“That’s why you can’t even handle your own power properly.”
[Profit!]
“You can’t even hold me, who only moves a little better than the average person.”
Still, if you follow the White Crow’s words, there will be an end for that great devil. There is also a meat shield—white crow—that will take the time until then.
Through it, the Deathbringer sharpened his patience. Waiting was like the fate of an assassin, so it wasn’t that difficult.
Before he knew it, his body had disappeared into the shadows between the buildings, and his eyes were endlessly immersed in the hood.
Kwasik!
Just like that.
Deathbringer occasionally strengthened the hand holding the sword. I couldn’t help it. It wasn’t just objects where the White Crow and the Great Devil were fighting.
“Ugh….”
Quang!
Quad deuk.
Ah, how it feels to have to see people lying asleep on the streets, trampled and crushed to death.
If you are good at it, you can rescue one, two, even ten or more people, but since you are in a state of neglect under the excuse that it may cause discomfort to the devil, the feeling of self-destruction deepens. The Deathbringer’s front teeth pressed against his lips.
“Senior…”
“Mother…”
“Fran…”
In the meantime, what makes Deathbringer feel even more guilty is that the three of them are just acquaintances—Skyla and the unlucky branch manager— The truth was that it had been stolen to a safe place.
I really shouldn’t have done this if I didn’t want to cause a sense of discomfort.
『In the end, even good and evil have no meaning before the name of the greater good.』
With the words echoing in my head, the Deathbringer’s teeth began to bleed. This was also an act that went against the knowledge of an assassin, as the light scent of blood could be a hint to the opponent.
The Deathbringer’s self-deprecation slowly floated above his lowered eyelids.
[What an insignificant human!!!]
The Great Devil once again let out his anger at the prolonged standoff. He seemed quite angry at the fact that his opponent was dodging his attacks and somehow recovering right away even when he hit.
“Haha, it’s already been 5 minutes. I think some people will wake up soon. What do you think?”
But in Deathbringer’s opinion, it wasn’t just because the White Crow was great. It was amazing that he recovered and recovered as if he couldn’t feel the pain… but the movement itself, as he said, was only a little better than that of an ordinary person.
So, it was entirely the Archdemon’s fault that this standoff was prolonged. He is so physically weak that he can’t even handle his strength properly, which is why a white crow at the level of an ordinary person can endure this much.
[Damn it.]
As if the Great Devil didn’t know that, the person who was convulsively exerting his power stopped his movements by touching his head. Grumbling. The hollow eye sockets of the bear skin above the curly black hair seemed to shine at first glance.
[okay. that’s right. If I don’t have a dream, I’m a fool who can’t do anything.]
Now is the time.
Deathbringer realized that the only time it could attack was when it stopped. If you miss now, the next opportunity will come much later.
[But…]
“It’s an endless line.”
At that moment, the white crow also revealed his hidden card. Flash! Seven beams of light rose simultaneously from a distant point centered on the white crow.
“In the beginning was the earth, and because of the earth there was heaven. Because there is sky, there is rain and there is sea. “Run through them and reach this place.”
As if in response, the light that started from one point around the white crow returned to its original position, forming an equilateral triangle. The spell was cast so fast that the speed at which the light rushed in was slower than the spell.
“Come here with endless hatred and despair that leads to eternal isolation.”
“Life and Death Cradle and Grave. Find your way among them and walk.”
“Oh tears flowing like a river! Dig the soil of despair and create a man of loneliness! A person born of solitude will bloom with flowers of longing, but the moment those flowers wither, they will drop the leaves of frustration!”
However, the most surprising thing was that there was not just one voice chanting the spell.
The new mouths that sprouted like gills on the white crow’s neck simultaneously chanted spells with their vocal cords. Each time, the speed of creation of the circle drawn outside the triangle and the shape surrounding the circle becomes much faster.
“Come here, running among the moon, stars, sun, sea, living animals, and plants!”
Sigh!
And in the end, the group of shapes came into contact with the rays of light that came up earlier. The seven rays of light, starting from a single point, have all become connected one after another into a seven-pointed star.
On top of the huge seven-pointed castle, those who died in the fight between the White Crow and the Great Devil were rolled around like sacrifices.
Knock knock!
No, not like a sacrifice. It was truly an offering.
The moment the seven-pointed star began to shine, the blood and flesh of the dead people gathered together to create a single monster.
It was a humanoid monster over 2 meters tall with pale skin and visible veins. If you look at each individual piece, it is clearly a beautiful shape, but if you look at it all together, it is a monster with a appearance that is not even scary.
“My creation.”
And the white crow approached the monster and stretched out its arms. Sigh. The knife cut the vein precisely and spit out dirty blood.
“I give you my filthiest blood, so you can kill my enemies for me.”
As the White Raven’s blood poured onto the top of the kneeling monster’s head, the monster opened its golden eyes.
[No matter how hard you struggle, no matter how miserably you crawl. Dreams never end.]
At the same time, the Great Devil, who was either watching it quietly or preparing something behind the scenes, twisted the corner of his mouth.
He seemed quite calm, as if he was okay with the white crow monster running towards him.
[So let me tell you in advance.]
Big!
However, what is here is not just the White Crow’s arrangement.
The young man, who had succeeded in melting into the shadows and walking through the other side of the world, swung his blade at the devil’s neck, which was spraying demonic energy and repelling the monster. Savvy as a bastard and sneaky as an assassin. It was an attack that could detach the neck if it hit.
[You really don’t kill people gracefully.]
Come on! Sloth’s head was cut off along with the bear’s skin, and a cloud-like dream rose from its place. Mmmmm! Something like the sound of a cow could be heard from afar.
