Episode 100 – The atmosphere is nice.
100. The atmosphere is nice.
Ang! Quang! Wooooow!
Leon rolled his eyes and slammed the door down.
The luxury dagger from Halito Blacksmith drew countless trajectories. A loud bang erupted and blue sparks flew out.
‘What is it made of?’
Leon was slightly taken aback by how hard it was than expected.
No matter how dagger it was, it had a strong sword feel. He consumed a lot of the dragon’s mana and became twice as strong as before.
However, the iron door made of solid alloy was indeed very strong.
It only had large scratches and dents, but was not noticeably broken.
‘Or the bastards who locked me up could have done something else.’
Muttering to himself, Leon swung his dagger even more fiercely.
aaa!!
At this point, the cadets in other rooms also understood the situation.
They are now trapped, and there is no one outside to help them.
And that we need to escape quickly right away.
Kwaang! Quang! Boom boom!!
The door to the dragon heart room where the martial arts club cadets entered shook violently. Everyone raised their mana and began to break down the door.
The Ministry of Magic cadets were almost stamping their feet. They can also generate mana, but since no spells have been created.
Aria also couldn’t do anything big. Even though she is a battle mage, she cannot use body strengthening magic.
‘f*ck.’
After realizing this, Leon’s movements became more urgent.
“Just wait a moment! “I’ll open right away and help you!”
Carotene’s cry rang out amidst the heavy drinking.
The Ministry of Magic cadets endured by emitting air waves to prevent the dust from approaching. Everyone had that level of skill.
Ang!
At some point, Leon crushed the doorknob and created a small gap.
A gap in which an iron plate three fingers thick is bent and widened. He put the tip of the dagger there and pushed with all his might.
“Hmm!”
Leon’s arm muscles swelled and blood appeared in his neck.
The newly born body and newly filled energy created formidable physical strength.
Kddudeudeudeudeudeuk-!!
With a cracking noise, the sliding door was slowly pushed.
That narrow width was created. Is there any need to completely open the door? Leon turned his body sideways, thinned it out, and slipped away.
Leon’s eyes reflected the light outside the Dragon’s Heart Chamber.
The wizards who managed this place and the warriors who served as guards. Everything had disappeared completely.
‘They all suffered?’
Doubts rose up in Leon. They were quite capable people.
Of course, it was no time to be lost in doubt.
Kwa Bang!
In one of the dragon heart chambers, the door next to Leon opened with a loud explosion. What protruded from beyond the door was a blade wrapped in a thread of blue mana.
‘A prosecutor?’
Billy came out from inside in a similar position to Leon.
‘When on earth will I get to the expert level…?’
Leon shouted at Billy even though he was inwardly scared.
“Billy! “Get the Ministry of Magic out of the way first!”
“I understand.”
Billy ran over with a calm face and started cutting open the door with his sword.
Leon first ran to Aria’s room. It’s most efficient to free Aria first.
A large cage-shaped room made of steel.
There were strange letters and magic circles engraved on the outer wall. Until it was filled with mana and glowing black. All rooms were similar.
‘Is this the magic-disrupting technique? ‘It’s like black magic.’
There is no way something like this was engraved from the beginning, and it was probably the attackers who did this now.
I thought I might be able to touch the lock since it was locked from the outside to the inside.
‘Nothing.’
It was not visible. The process of locking the door also appears to have used magic.
In the end, Leon moved the dagger.
“Just wait!”
Soon.
Kddudeudeudeudeuk!
Leon was able to open the door faster than before.
“Hmm.”
‘I need to push it a little further.’
Leon had to make the width a little wider than before. There were differences in body structure. Aria’s upper body was caught.
“Master!”
Aria came out whimpering, crumpling her body as much as she could.
“You…?”
Leon looked near her heart and her eyes widened.
“Yes, that’s right! “I’ll explain later!”
Aria, who was able to use her magic again, spoke as she wrapped a blue current in both her hands.
Leon nodded his head and ran to another room. She was the one where the Ministry of Magic cadets were trapped.
It looked like Celia, Carotene, and Essabel would be able to come out on their own after a while without any help. Right now their door was creaking and tattered.
“Stay slightly away from the door!”
Leon warned the cadet inside.
“Yes…!”
When I heard the terrified voices, I could tell who the cadet inside was.
‘Was it Liana?’
I think she did well to pay attention.
Boom! Kwasik! Quang!
“Inhale!”
Kddudeudeudeudeudeuk-!!
“Come out.”
“Thank you…!”
Even Liana came out.
Meanwhile, Billy rescued two more Ministry of Magic cadets, and Aria also rescued one.
The martial arts club cadets came out in that order: Essabel, Celia, and Carotene. Together, they took out the one remaining Ministry of Magic cadet.
All 10 cadets who succeeded in escaping gathered in the common center.
“How are you feeling?”
This is the question Leon asked while looking at Diel, a cadet from the Ministry of Magic. DL was a bit slow to react in the beginning, and her dust came into contact with her shoulder area.
“It hurts so much.”
Diel frowned and exposed her shoulder area. Liana frowned upon seeing her affected area.
“Hmm.”
Leon rummaged through his subspace pocket and found a potion.
Not only the clothes but also the flesh had completely melted. Even though it only touched me for less than a second, it was only that much. If his whole body had been engulfed in dust, he would not have escaped death.
“How could something like this happen in District 1…?”
Essabel bit her lip in confusion.
Regardless of how he infiltrated District 1, it was a truly bold assassination attempt just by following her words.
Leon asked.
“Aria, how are you feeling?”
Aria silently closed her eyes and ran her hands in the air, chanting.
From Noble mtl dot com
“The transmission magic has been blocked again. “I think the scope of this is the entire Dragon Heart Palace.”
“As expected.”
This means that space movement magic such as blink and teleport has been blocked. Otherwise, as soon as an incident occurred at Dragon Heart Palace, additional troops would have flown in one after another.
“Princess. Looking at it, it seems like everyone in the Dragon Heart Palace has been affected for a long time. How long do you think it will take to increase support to this point?”
Yongsim Palace is located on the outskirts of District 1.
“I think it will take about 15 minutes. 10 Minutes at the earliest. “I guess we’ll have to prepare the knights.”
“This is enough time for the guys who did this to do everything they can and get rid of them.”
“······Yes.”
“Are you planning on catching the beast?”
Leon nodded his head at Carotene’s words.
“Uh. I have to go see at least the face. “They are the ones who tried to kill me.”
“Wouldn’t it be too dangerous for you?”
“Well.”
In response to Liana’s concern, Leon shrugged her shoulders.
Although the warriors of Dragon Heart Palace were skilled, they were not as skilled as the cadets here.
If you combine the 5 members of the martial arts club and Aria, it is an enormous force.
“If the evil beasts are really confident in their skills, they can open the door and kill them with their own hands. There is no reason to go through the trouble of casting magic and spraying poison.”
“That’s right.”
Everyone agreed to this.
“I think they’re still underground.”
“Underground?”
“Okay. “Where the dragon’s heart is.”
“Ah…!”
In the basement, there is a control room that manages the entire Dragon Heart Palace and the Dragon Heart.
The assassination attempt was secondary, and taking the dragon’s heart seemed to be the raiders’ main goal.
And in order to inject poison powder into the pipe connected to the dragon heart chamber, the control room had to be occupied.
Leon drew up his overflowing energy and spat it out. Vitality surged throughout his body.
“I go first.”
“Wait a minute, together-.”
Fit-!
His new form disappeared like a ghost.
* · * *
Leon covered the wide corridor.
He was running at the same speed as an arrow, but not a single sound was made.
This is because he was hiding his presence by using Karazu-style breathing and Cheondunbo.
‘What kind of guys are they?’
He thought as he stepped on the wall and passed by the road that turned at a right angle.
Infiltrated the system’s defenses, used high-level magic, and defeated expert-level fighters without making a single noise.
There are not many organizations with this kind of strength and ability.
Leon regained his appetite and found the stairs leading down. Even though I don’t know the path well, I know that the place where the dragon’s heart is located is in the deepest basement.
As we went further and further down, the scent of blood became stronger. There were also traces of people busily moving to one side. They became guideposts.
‘Is it this place?’
The entrance to the management office soon appeared.
The white double doors were slightly open. There were red liquid splatters on the bottom of the door.
A strangely subdued darkness could be seen through the gaping gap. No sound of any moving creature could be heard. The thick smell of death wafted in the air.
‘The atmosphere is nice.’
Leon grinned.
He grabbed two daggers and entered inside, killing his presence even more.
