58.
Chan-young, who had been running, stopped after he caught up to A-yun and the people from the Seon-Hyeon guild among the party ahead.
“Please take care.”
Chan-young, who put Hyeon-woo down as if throwing him away, turned around. He seemed to be going back to the party. Hyeon-woo reached out to him when he got down to the floor, but he was already running far away.
‘What’s going on.’
Hyeon-woo tousled his hair roughly and looked in the direction he came from. There was an intense, demonic force coming.
‘I have to go back.’
I couldn’t leave my brother alone in a place like that. No matter how strong Ji Seon-woo was, he was my only younger brother. As he put his foot forward with that thought, someone grabbed his arm.
“No.”
It was A-yun.
“We are helping by staying back.”
No. It was much more helpful for me to be there and show my strength properly. I had been hiding his strength for several reasons, but now I was done with that. His brother’s safety was more important.
Hyeon-woo took A-yun’s hand away and strode forward.
“No way!”
People from the Seon-Hyeon Guild blocked his way, but they couldn’t catch Hyeon-woo. He didn’t seem that fast, but he cleverly slipped through the crowd. Compared to other Awakened, he didn’t look like someone with relatively high stamina.
“Come back!”
He heard A-yun’s voice from behind, but he ignored it and ran. His body that had become heavy from inactivity gradually lightened. It was also just a matter of time that he would catch up with Chan-young, who was returning.
Chan-young, who turned around at his appearance, said with a surprised expression.
“Why are you following me!”
“How could I leave my little brother alone!”
“He’s not alone! Go back.”
Chan-young stopped and once again blocked Hyeon-woo.
“If you are there, the guild leader will get nervous and won’t be able to fight properly!”
Why couldn’t this person properly grasp the situation? Chan-young looked back and forth between the party leader and Hyeon-woo as he suppressed his anger. He had to run right away and help the Guild Leader, but he now had to take him back.
Would I be able to reach in time if I left him back? Chan-young, who gritted his teeth and pondered, came to a quick conclusion. No, time was running out, I would not be able to bring him back and then return to the party. If so, there was only one way. He said, pushing Hyeon-woo behind a large wall nearby.
“Don’t move from here if you don’t want to die.”
I couldn’t help it now. Chan-young knew that Hyeon-woo had Phoenix’s guardian. That item blocked three attacks regardless of the size of the opponent’s attack. If that was the case, it would be okay to leave Hyeon-woo alone.
“Don’t move.”
Having said that, Chan-young turned around.
In the meantime, the power that had pushed the party hall to its limits bloomed. The rift, which had grown to a terrifying size, stopped expanding only after destroying most of the party hall.
And the owner of the power he had felt until now began to appear through the cracks.
Krrng.
The beast groaned. Even though it was just that, goosebumps ran down his spine. The first thing to appear was an elongated snout. The mouth, covered with shiny black scales, opened, revealing bizarre teeth. Then, a long tongue flicked through the air and began to roar.
Krwa-rwa-rwa-rwa!
Spotty seemed nervous at the sound and raised his tail. Despite its similar appearance to Spotty’s actual form, this one was different. His body began shaking and he was breaking out in a cold sweat.
Kero was only doing slightly better. He had returned to his original form with feet firmly planted on the ground.
This was an unusual opponent. It was not known whether Kero and Spotty would be able to win even if they fought with all their might.
It was felt by the people here as well. Junichi, who had been leaning on a pillar that was intact the whole time, stared at it and grabbed his sword. A spark began to rise from Ivan’s hand, and Leon also started preparing for battle.
“Wow, that’s going crazy.”
As Hye-sun, the tank, stepped forward with her shield, Ja-yun began manipulating the wind. Ga-jun released his poison into it.
“What about you?”
As soon as Ga-jun asked, Chan-young jumped inside and stood next to Seon-woo.
“Well, I think I’m roughly ready.”
Although it seemed that they were not the only ones prepared. He had no choice but to say that to relieve tension.
Before they knew it, the animal’s head came out of the gate. Then came the neck, hard chest, teeth, and forepaws with sharp claws.
“Is it a real dragon?”
The others thought Ga-jun was right. Although Spotty had been called the Black Drake, it seemed that a real black dragon was emerging.
“This is terrible.”
Hye-sun let out a deep sigh.
‘If he does well, this place will become my grave.’
Why would such a terrible being suddenly appear? Looking at the faces of the people here, it didn’t seem like she would lose, but she didn’t know what would happen to her. Because it was almost certain that she would stand in front of her once holding her shield.
‘But I can’t run away.’
She clenched her fist and pounded her shield. Hye-sun’s ability was to reduce damage received, and to strengthen her attack ability. She didn’t have the ability to provoke, but she could draw its attention with a commotion.
‘Now, look here.’
Big yellow eyes looked at Hye-sun. And soon smiled. Despite his reptilian face, it was not difficult to recognize him.
His body, which had been slowly coming out, began to pick up speed. The body that seemed to come out endlessly was finally revealed.
“Isn’t that size a scam?”
Ja-yun, who was looking up at him blankly, said.
“It’s a scam.”
“It’s a scam.”
Ga-jun and Hye-sun answered.
On the other hand, Seon-woo was calmly raising water droplets in the air. It was a great weapon by itself, but it would become even more terrifying if Chan-young next to him energized it.
Kirk-Kirk-Kirk.
The dragon, which took out all of his body, made a strange noise. It sounded like laughter. Spotty shrank even more. And Kero was tilting his head at that point. Still, the dragon felt stronger and more frightening than that. But somehow it looked familiar.
“Krrng?”
Why did it look familiar? Kero narrowed his eyes, but the dragon attacked first. As it turned its house-sized body and swung its tail, there was a sharp wind noise. Hye-sun was the first to block him, and then an attack was made.
A whip of water soaked in lightning wrapped around the body, and poison mixed with the wind swirled around him.
“I can’t lose.”
Ivan poured the flames from his hand at the dragon, and Junichi and Leon took up their swords and stepped forward. It was not easy to pierce the scales because he was so big and hard, but he did his best to move.
Lightning flashed, ice exploded, and the flames that landed flew as if to burn everything. It was a spectacular sight to see. But even after all that, the dragon was still intact without moving. This didn’t look good.
“Did it hurt him?”
When Ga-jun said that with a nervous expression, Hye-sun opened her eyes and said.
“Don’t just say that!”
“Why?”
“That’s the magic word to lose!”
“How can that happen?”
“Here it is!”
As soon as the words fell, the dragon stood up intact.
“Just why you!”
Saying that, Hye-sun stopped the dragon’s tail from swaying again. It was so heavy that her body was pushed backwards by itself. She kept dealing attacks like that, but the scales were only slightly singed and there were no major wounds.
It would be nice if they had a strategy, but this was a monster they had never seen before.
Numerous forces poured down on the vacant lot where the building collapsed. Among them was Seon-woo’s ability that stood out, followed by Kero. The flames pouring out of the three heads were not far behind Ivan’s abilities.
Krrck.
The dragon’s cumbersome movements gradually began to take shape. It looked like it wasn’t familiar with combat. The pattern was simple.
Kyaoooo!
At that point, Spotty seemed to have gained courage and began assisting in the attack. And that angered the dragon.
‘How dare you, how dare you!’
The Dragon from the Demon Realm, who had been on the defense, caused trouble. The dragon’s stomach simmered, and his mouth opened. He was going to fire its breath. But the present Awakened weren’t ones to just allow an attack.
Attacks poured in, and Hye-sun changed her position. Spotty clung to her head, and Kero did a whole body headbutt, changing the direction of its breath. It was a moment of nervousness.
And Hyeon-woo, who was watching it from a little distance away, aiming for an opportunity to intervene, suddenly realized one thing.
‘Doesn’t that dragon look familiar?’
In the past, when Hyeon-woo lived in the Demon Realm, he had three bikes. Among them, No. 1 was the first he had subjugated, No. 2 was a huge snake that only inhabited the Demon Realm, and No. 3 was the largest dragon among them. Even so, the dragon was young, so he was on the small side compared to other dragons.
Hyeon-woo rubbed his chin with his hand and then tried to increase the size of the young dragon he had seen. Didn’t they say that usually after the hatchling season, they grow up big all at once? I’m not quite sure, but there was also a lot of resemblance if you looked closely.
Actually, the black dragon just resembled him, but it wouldn’t hurt to try. Hyeon-woo slowly began to move forward.
The others were busy fighting and didn’t notice Hyeon-woo’s movements.
What was the name of Bike No. 3?
“Ah! I remembered.”
Two-eyed.
Unlike Spotty, no name came to his mind, so he named it after its most prominent feature. Of course, most creatures had two eyes, but his eyes were exceptionally big.
As he got closer, another noticed him. Leon looked at Hyeon-woo and made a surprised expression. When he noticed, it didn’t take long for the others to notice Hyeon-woo as well.
