104 – Too Big to Fight.
The ring that Ling Ling handed over after hesitating for a moment had a silver rim with a very shiny wing like thread, and a very small crimson jewel. It was stuck in the center, and it looked exactly like the one she was wearing, with wings going in opposite directions, making it look like a set.
Howlin’s Promise Ring
– You must share a pair of rings for the effect to occur.
– When health falls below 20%, it summons the clone of the person who shared the ring.
– The clone exerts 50% of the power of the main body.
“Oh······. Thank you! It’s a good item, isn’t it?”
She was just looking at the ground with her ears turning red. As soon as she heard my answer, she nodded her head slightly and took something out of her arms and held it out in front of her.
“Take this too!”
“Why do they keep giving it to me… Hmm? This is my first time seeing it in the form of a scroll?”
Raging Magical Scroll
– As soon as it is torn, 1000 magic power is recovered, and the magic recovery speed increases by 1000% for 1 minute.
“Wow, there is something like this. Thank you! But how much was this?”
“Million in 3 pages…”
“Huh… It would be nice if something like this came out for us too. It’s a little expensive since it’s for emergency use, but it’s worth the price.”
I opened the scroll and was looking at it closely as an observer, wondering if there were any letters I couldn’t recognize, when I suddenly felt Lingling’s gaze on me.
[It’s so cute to see the dog staring at letters he doesn’t know…]
Shock-
‘In my lifetime, I’ve even been told that I’m cute.’
Of course, I didn’t hear it directly, but when Linglin, who was now looking at my face, was starting to feel a little burdensome, she lowered her gaze to my chest again and said softly.
“I hope I never have to use that… Ah! If you register it like a potion, you don’t have to carry it around. That’s the case with all consumable items.”
“Okay. Thanks to you, I’ll be off to a strong start.”
When I said this with a grin, she avoided her eyes again.
I thought she was pretty close, but I guess it couldn’t be helped that it felt awkward being alone together like this.
“Then I’ll go and come back~”
“You’re talking like you’re going for a walk somewhere. Take care, Jo.”
“Yes~”
It’s not that it wasn’t, it really felt like I was going for a walk, just like Linglin said.
Sometimes, when I see the shelter crowded with people, it feels a bit unfamiliar.
‘It’s okay to be alone sometimes.’
I was curious where they would fly me this time.
When I arrived in front of the crack I entered last time, I tore open the dimensional gap and shouted as usual.
“Please go to a place where there are a lot of monsters like last time! The bigger and stronger ones can come out right away! But now, to a place where there are no explorers…”
As soon as she finished speaking, she threw herself into the crack, and her arms and legs folded as if they had become a layer of paper, and she was swallowed up in the thick darkness.
I felt a rougher sense of movement than the last time, and it felt like a bit of annoyance, as if I was being told to just go ahead and do what was sent.
But since I was the one ultimately reaching out for her, she focused all her attention on scanning the rapidly approaching doors.
“No, no, not here…”
This time, it was soaring into the sky, as if [Floating] Had been deployed to its maximum level, so quickly that the doors passing by could not be seen properly.
“Here!”
After thinking about it for a while, I opened the door and threw myself into it, where I could feel its charm pulling me in.
.
.
.
Tsk tsk tsk tsk-!!
“······.”
I first came to my senses to the very refreshing sound of birds. I could hear it clearly as if it was chirping right next to me, and I wondered how good of a voice it must be for it to be this loud.
It is clear that it fell into the forest.
Like the place where the golden monkey Tankranku and the hooded monster Nambhind met… Trees everywhere…? Things and bushes that seem to be… A lush forest? Probably so.
The reason a question mark keeps popping up in my head is because it was too big.
Everything except me.
“I can’t see the end of the tree…”
If you look at the base, it is clearly a tree, and the base seems to be well over 10m.
I raised my head and looked up, and I’m not just saying this, I couldn’t see the actual tip of the tree. Even when I lifted my head to the point where I should have seen something hanging on the tree, I only saw the body of the tree.
It was the same even with my own eyes, whose eyesight was already beyond human limits.
Trees like that were sprouting up everywhere, as if they were average here, so much so that it made me feel like I had become an ant man and had become smaller.
“What is this World Tree?”
Has the world tree fallen into an average world?
As I was walking in a vaguely drawn direction, looking around for a while, the mana in the air trembled loudly and I suddenly heard a huge explosion, so I covered my ears.
Gooooo
Kwaang! Wow! –
– Booooo!
– Kieee!
The sound of giant beings crashing into each other was clear.
I climbed up the tree, stepping on it as if I was chopping it down.
The tree was so large that it was easy to climb up by just stepping on a crack in the surface.
It took about 30 seconds just to climb up to where a tree branch of an appropriate size stretched out, and I was finally able to see part of the main characters of the strange sound and was astonished as soon as I saw it.
“f*ck… It’s a dragon times a dragon. It looks a little different, so is it a different species?”
The one with a blue body had a longer head, three horns, three pairs of wings, and four arms.
Although its body was smaller than the red dragon, its ferocious appearance made it feel much more frightening than the red dragon.
“It’s really big….”
Unlike the blue dragon, the red dragon had countless sharp hook-shaped thorns extending out randomly on its body, and although it only had one pair of wings, it was much larger and thicker, giving it a very solid feel.
Guys that were 10 times bigger than the chimera dragons on the stage were hitting and fighting, but this was so close to a disaster that it shook the planet.
However, it was worth seeing even if it meant taking risks.
“The dog is really cool…”
There are two things I like for no reason; one is the ability to command necromancer minions, and the other is the large-sized monsters.
From Noble mtl dot com
With two beings who fit the latter description fighting while spouting fire and ice, there was no such thing as a crazy intuition.
The two dragons fought for a long time to the point where the world was breaking apart, then simultaneously rose into the sky and began to puff out their chests.
Gurgling, gurgling-
Oh oh oh oh-
“Uh, hey! That’s not it!”
aaa!
The moment the two dragons competed with each other by emitting red and blue breaths, a powerful shock wave spread in all directions at an incredible speed.
I quickly activated [Electricity] And widened the distance, but it seemed like I couldn’t shake off the shockwave.
‘One path!’
I hurriedly used Suzy’s trait to throw myself into the door, and finally let out a sigh of relief.
Rattle rattle―
“Holy sh*t!!”
I felt that even the space I had entered using Suzy’s characteristic was slowly collapsing. I quickly opened the door on the other side and went out. The space exploded behind me and I was once again swept away by the shock wave.
The shield flowed down like cotton candy melting into water, and in the end, he hurriedly put on a flame cloak and crouched down with all his magic wrapped around his body.
That time when I thought something really big had happened.
– Afine Flame Cloak absorbs the highest level of flame.
– The quality of Afine’s Flame Cloak has increased!
– Afine Flame Cloak absorbs the highest level of flame.
– Afine Flame Cloak has been upgraded to rare level!
Apine Flame Cloak
– A cloak made by carefully tanning Apine leather, which lives in volcanic areas. Continuously inflicts fire damage to nearby enemies.
– Reduces damage caused by fire properties by 50%.
– When receiving a fire attack, it absorbs the fire and creates a shield equal to the amount absorbed.
Rurrr?
As the flame cloak absorbed the dragon’s breath, a red shield fluttered all over its body like a flame, blocking the shock wave.
How long had he been curled up like that?
“Phew…”
Suddenly, the world became quiet and the only sound was the rustling of leaves shaking in the wind, so I carefully climbed up the nearby tree using [Float].
The scenery I saw when I climbed up was so dizzying that it took me some time to figure it out, but it seemed like the fate of those monsters didn’t take as long as I thought.
“The vicious-looking guy won?”
The blue dragon was staggering around, but it looked like it had bitten off a handful of the fire-breathing dragon’s neck.
Blood spurted from the red dragon’s torn neck, causing blood to rain from the sky. The scene was somehow so beautiful that I lost my attention for a moment.
But for a moment, I felt a chill and quickly turned my head behind him.
Thump thump thump!
Another giant, grumpy-looking dragon jumped towards me with its mouth wide open and then crawled towards me on all fours.
Krrr-
Quang! Kwazizig-
I released the float and easily escaped to the bottom, but I was a little annoyed.
“aaah! Let’s say it in words, bastard! It’s real!”
It was much smaller than the two dragons I had just seen, but it was still three times the size of the Chimera Dragon and took a big bite out of the tree I was hanging on.
I fell to the ground, bent my head so hard that the back of my neck pulled, looked up, and saw a dragon chewing on the tree it had cut down.
The scales were shiny orange, and they were so shiny that they looked as if they had been carefully crafted and stacked beautifully, one by one.
Woojijik- Woojik-
“Huh-huh-yeah. Seeing that it’s not spitting, could it be a herbivore?”
Whew!
“······Let’s jump.”
Kwaang!
The guy hit the spot where I was with his front foot so hard that the ground was dug up by a good 1m.
‘Looking at my specs, it’s not like I can’t fight, but if I fight here, I’ll be caught by that blue dragon from earlier!’
I made a quick decision and ran quickly to try to get out of its range.
“No, why was it so fast?!”
Thump thump thump thump thump!
It crawled on all fours like a lizard, and its speed was so fast that it could not be ignored.
Still, my speed, which was always active, was a little faster, so after running for a while, he became a dot in my field of vision.
Although the guy had clearly stopped, I could feel him regaining his appetite while still looking at me.
“Actually, should you just open it now?”
Krrralalalalala!!!
I don’t know if it was a blue dragon or another monster of the same class, but its ferocious roar echoed throughout the forest.
“······ Let’s look around and think a little more.”
As I moved in the opposite direction from him, a huge river blocked my way.
The water wasn’t fast, but I couldn’t see the other side.
“It’s too big to be called a river… Is this a river?”
Am I stuck on some island in the ocean right now? But apparently the water was flowing steadily in one direction.
How on earth did this planet come to be?
It hasn’t been long since I came, but I’m a little tired, so I’m scanning the state of the river to quench my thirst.
Churureup Chureup-
“Hmm? What is that again?”
Fortunately, a little distance downstream, a black snake, smaller than the one chasing me, but with a body too thick to be considered a snake, slithered out of the forest and started drinking water from the river.
It felt like he clearly recognized me, but he just kept rolling up water with his tongue and putting it into his mouth, as if he didn’t care about me.
“Still, it’s worth a try…”
The specs were lower than the guy just now, and he didn’t have a few characteristics, so I thought I’d just have to be careful with the poison.
Whatever the reason, it seemed easy enough, so I quenched my thirst for a moment with water from the river, which can be used as drinking water, and slowly approached with my back behind me.
“Uh huh! This is a great water restaurant.”
It had such a refreshing and deep taste that I wondered if it would easily cost 10,000 won for 0.5L if it were sold on Earth.
I cleared my throat and filled my fist with magic power, narrowing the distance to the snake by half. Suddenly, the surroundings became dark as if a huge curtain had surrounded them.
‘I really can’t live here.’
