< Dragon Hunter - Lord of the Canyon (2) >
Episode 220
Dohyun muttered a little and looked around.
A canyon with a cool, strong wind blowing.
The view from the camp reminded me of the Grand Canyon Gorge I saw while wandering the Hypernet one day.
In addition, I could understand why people are calling it a ‘hate’ song and shivering.
‘It’s very steep.’
Even at the camp Do-hyeon arrived at right away, one side seemed to be a sheer cliff.
When I glanced down, it seemed that if I fell, I would not be able to pick up the bones.
In a place like this, you fight dragons, even drakes?
Unless you are a very courageous person, it will put a great strain on your heart.
Even if you know you’re not really going to die.
Even if you know ghosts are fake, it’s scary when you watch horror movies.
“Now then, let’s look for ‘Waikaris’.”
-By the way, isn’t this the first time you’ve been a proper drake?
– You’re ignoring our bed?!
-Takesouk is a bit of a drake;
-It’s just a big bed lol.
Do-hyeon, who watched the chatting of the viewers chattering, started looking for traces of the ebb and flow.
Finding traces of dragons was not much different from the canyon.
As I passed the steep cliff road, traces of an unknown dragon—probably ‘Waikarasu’—are visible in the dragon’s eye, and the more I do it, the thicker the blue line that Dohyeon sees.
Traces were all over the place, and if you had to go close to them and acquire them yourself, it would have been quite a curse.
For example, the claw marks on the wall across the cliff, or the broken tree at the bottom of the canyon.
However, there was no need to get close because finding traces of Dragon Hunter: Regalia was basically to confirm ‘dragon energy’ with ‘long eyes’.
“It seems to be getting closer…”
Dohyun narrowed her eyes and checked the blue line.
The line, which had grown extremely thick, was trembling as if saying that it was coming soon.
The problem was that the terrain was getting more and more rough as it went on.
The width of the walkable path was getting smaller and smaller, and the floor you could see was getting lower and lower, and the gentle slope was getting steeper.
Later, it was so dangerous that only one person had to move carefully.
Around that time, viewers seemed to have guessed where the blue line was leading.
– Maybe this? lol
– That place?
– In any case, it just hangs here hahahahaha
Leaving behind the audience’s inexplicable giggles.
Dohyun went down a path that was very difficult to walk.
And what greeted him at the end were rocks floating in ’empty’.
“Well-“
– Oh, I think PTSD is coming.
-‘the place’
-I just give up when the dragon runs away here
-Let’s not fight with a long-range weapon. Hahahahaha
The rocks, which were not very large, were floating randomly in the air.
There didn’t seem to be any rules, but one thing is for sure: the distance between the rocks is not easy to cross.
Besides, the heights were different, so the moment I ran the wrong way, I couldn’t even cling to the rock and it seemed like it would fall off.
‘Below…’
Dohyeon, who glanced down at the place where the rocks were floating, narrowed his eyes.
The floor, which had been getting deeper and deeper as we headed up to here, was now completely covered with a hazy mist, and I couldn’t even guess where it ended up.
And, looking at the reaction of the viewers, it seemed impossible to reverse that it was only covered by a fog, and that it was not really deep.
If you fall, you will probably die.
Almost one hundred percent chance.
“It’s a very tricky place.”
-It’s disgusting here hahaha
– It’s not for nothing.
-uh? But what if we fight here in the first place??
-I feel the malice of the production team…
“But you can’t see ‘Waikarasu’? First of all, this is the result of looking at longan. Well.”
Did he even wait for Dohyun to mumble like that?
Coming soon-! With a bizarre howl, something black and huge flew upwards from below the mist.
A pair of wings resembling those of a bat, three toes with sharp claws, an elongated face that resembled a crow, and red eyes that gleam like fire from above.
It was the ‘Waikaras’ that Dohyun was looking for.
“Kyaah-!”
‘Waikaras’, who found Do-hyeon, spit out a bizarre cry again.
Like a dragon with the nickname of a non-pterosaur (飛翼龍), Waikaras fluttered its wings and flew around Dohyeon.
A vicious force that seems to come over at any moment!
It’s impossible to stand still and face him, so Dohyun quickly drew his sword from his waist.
“I wish I could jump right in.”
– But it’s not too early, isn’t it?
-I just imagined Waikaras becoming stupid hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
-The drakes have very sassy personalities.
-I’m not just switching to a ranged weapon here hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Seeing the reaction of the viewers, Dohyun tilted her head.
It’s because I’ve never dealt with a dragon before, so I don’t understand why they react like that.
But he soon found out why.
It’s because Waikarasu, who looks like he’s going to rush at any moment just looking at the momentum, spread his mouth wide and vomited out a mass of flames!
“Chiaak!”
Wrath-!
Dohyeon jumped onto the rock in front of him to avoid the flames flying towards where he was standing.
A lump of red flame hit the spot where he had just been, but perhaps because it contained ‘dragon energy’, the flame did not go out and burned.
Dohyun, who was standing on the rock and looking at it, frowned.
“It’s a ranged attack.”
In other words, the opponent could fly freely in a very unfavorable terrain and attack unilaterally.
However, Do-hyeon, who was worried, soon realized a way.
“Can’t we just run away and move it to a better place to fight?”
By default, dragons blindly hate dragon hunters who have the same energy.
According to Kalek’s explanation, ‘when you see a dragon hunter who used to chase ordinary people, your eyes turn and you want to kill it’.
So if Dohyun runs away now, Waikaras will follow him.
Then, wouldn’t it be possible to go to a more comfortable place to hunt?
– No, no~
-Did I say it haha Because the flying dragon is sloppy.
-That’s the basic trait of drakes.
– Don’t you remember the dog?
“Oh, can’t you?”
However, it was revealed by viewers that Do-hyeon’s thoughts were not to be.
Dohyun, who recalled the case of ‘Totonian’ mentioned by a viewer, understood.
Sure, he shows a basic blind hatred, but he fled when his own life was in danger.
Because each dragon has their own characteristics in how they fight, it doesn’t necessarily follow that they move from place to place.
‘Besides, I can only use a sword, so it might be better to fight here.’
Even if they move to another location, if there is no effective means of attacking the flying Waikaras, they will only receive a one-sided attack.
Then, Dohyun thought that this might be more suitable for fighting.
“Then we have to catch him here.”
Do-hyeon, who narrowed her eyes, saw Waikaras flying around and looking for an opportunity.
Waikaras flying between rocks.
In order to catch it with a single sword, you will have to fight directly over the rocks floating in the air.
It was a very difficult battle, and it was dangerous enough that a single mistake could lead to a fatal accident.
“I’ll hunt right away.”
-really?
– You’re going to do it here?
– It would be difficult to catch with a sword.
– This is how big it is! Hahaha
Do-hyeon, who had made up his mind, looked around.
The heights and positions of the rocks are roughly remembered in his mind.
Based on that, you can figure out the path you can move, and the battle preparation is over!
Toward Waikaras, who still looked at him with red eyes, he flew without hesitation.
into the air, the realm of the drake.
Waikarath seemed unwilling to tolerate a dragon hunter with his claws exposed at him.
The drake, who let out a wild roar, once again spewed out a lump of flame from its mouth.
However, Dohyun’s actions were agile.
As if expected, he kicked a rock in the middle and jumped up.
The mass of flame that Waikarasu vomited passed under Dohyun.
No matter how hot a flame is, if it doesn’t hit, it’s meaningless.
Besides, Waikarasu stopped in place while shooting out a mass of flames.
There is no way Do-hyeon is satisfied with just evading this ‘good to cut’ situation.
“Ahhh!”
Do-hyeon’s sword left a wound on Waikarasu’s foot.
Instead of killing the opponent, the wounded Waikaras roars in anger.
Of course, Dohyun didn’t care at all.
I don’t know what kind of damage the roar does.
Otherwise, he had no reason to care.
Rather than worrying about Waikarasu’s roar, it would have been better to calculate at least one more path that he could move.
Do-hyeon flies off the rock again.
He moved freely, as if saying that where he was now was not in the air.
Although he had no choice but to draw a straight trajectory because he was moving with a spur of the rock, it was not a problem for him at all.
His movement, kicking five or six rocks at once, was too flashy for a single drake to catch up with!
-Wow, first time seeing a dogfight in DeHun.
– Wasn’t the dogfight of DeHun clinging to a dragon and wanting you to die and me to live?
-Uhhh shattering expectations hahahaha
– I’m really tired hahahaha
Do-hyeon’s movements, moving by spurring the rocks floating in the air, were quite changeable.
The moment I thought I was definitely flying forward, I fell down, then jumped straight up, and then jumped diagonally.
It even went pretty fast.
Seeing the enemy trying to fight in an unexpected way, Waikaras was perplexed.
It didn’t do anything like this.
It’s not Dohyun who just sits watching it.
Scratch! Scratch! Scratch!
– Are you Amugoto Mota?
-merge? This is not the battle I was thinking of??
-If you miss one step, you’ll die right away hahaha Then the mission is not a failure?
-I’m confident I won’t make a mistake lol.
As soon as Dohyun passed by Waikaras, blood immediately spattered.
If Waikarasu tried to counterattack late, Dohyun had already retreated far away.
An almost one-sided battle ensued.
It was the complete opposite of the battle that the viewers originally thought.
They expected that if Waikarasu flew through the air like a drake and spewed out chunks of flame, Dohyeon would jump over the rocks to avoid it and then seize the opportunity.
But that was to look at Dohyun too softly.
His crazy physical ability was at a level that made it possible to fight with only his mouth.
‘Next step on that road, then there. No, this rock. And then-‘
Of course, it was never easy.
It was Do-hyeon with a casual expression, but in his head, numerous paths were created and disappeared.
Despite being thoroughly one-sided, he is demonstrating tremendous concentration.
If you take even one wrong step, you will fall.
Then everything you’ve done so far will be in vain, and your mission will also fail.
Such a thing cannot and should not happen.
Slowly, Waikarasu seemed to feel his life was in danger.
The red eyes that were burning with only hatred moved around as if they were looking at something.
Realizing this, Dohyun narrowed her eyes.
Because Waikaras knew he was going to do something.
He quickly unleashed an attack with the power of the Dragon Dragon, trying to stop it, but this time, Waikaras was a bit quicker.
[Kiaah!]
A roar of a different feeling than before.
It wasn’t meant to threaten Dohyun.
‘what? Weren’t you trying to run away?’
When Dohyun tilts her head inwardly at a different appearance than she had expected.
Something flew through the fog that had stagnated below.
