373 – Talent as a Second Gunner
The southwest of the Drango continent.
A forest area where grass and trees grow thickly.
There, fragments of old ruins that appeared to be the remains of a temple were lying around haphazardly.
Pieces of a dragon statue or pillars supporting the ceiling of the temple were scattered in a disorderly manner like ruins.
At first glance, it seems like an abandoned and forgotten place that no one can visit.
But here now…
-Help… !
「Pubububung━──!!!!」
Flames hotter than the summer sun flash and soar here and there.
ㅡHowling! Roaring… !
A burning flame that devours everything.
Its identity is none other than Dragon Breath.
The bitter heat burns and melts everything.
Accompanied by a violent explosion that shook the ground. It boasted much more explosive and destructive power than modern weapons.
-Help… !
-Tap, thump! Crack… !!
As expected, the flame burned until the target turned into ashes and disappeared.
A flame that cannot be easily extinguished.
That’s what the dragon’s breath was.
A feast of fire continues, reminiscent of a battlefield.
“Keeep… !!!」
Each time a high-temperature explosion continued, a loud noise that seemed to rip the eardrums was also heard.
A sharp scream of pain.
A deathly sound coming from an unquenchable flame.
The scream did not belong to a living being.
It was the terrible scream of a thought form that should no longer exist in this world.
「Kihehehehe… !」
「I must tell him~!」
“The enemy’s children dared to set foot on the continent… !!!」
Black objects that make eerie and bizarre noises while being burned by the breath of purgatory.
There was more than one number of them.
Beings that resemble the shape of a dragon.
Those with black demonic energy burn painfully in a corner of the ruins.
From noble mtl dot com
“Whew, are there two guys left now?”
“Senior Leylin? You’re amazing-! To sweep away so many things at once… ?!”
“Heh! Are you surprised by this much? “Am I supposed to be the academy’s only annihilation gunner for no reason?”
Leylin and Eros are engaged in an untimely battle with monsters.
While they were investigating the traces of the Whirlwind Clan, they encountered countless swarms of monsters. As a result, this battle was inevitable.
However, the battle was one-sided.
Leylin’s flame was that powerful.
Especially for demonic attributes.
ㅡSlap!
Leylin puts down her death demon canvas from her shoulder and smiles.
She looks at her Eros, baring her sharp shark teeth.
She released her shooting stance even though the battle wasn’t over yet.
“Seo, senior… ? What are you doing now? There are still two left, so why… ?”
“Hmm~♪ There are only two left… “I guess it’s because something like this has come up that I want to test out, right?”
“What do you mean suddenly it’s a test?”
“Um, would you like to take a look over there?”
There were still two monsters left where Leylin pointed.
「Kkiheeek────!!!」
Those monsters were staring at Leylin and Eros. While letting out a ferocious scream.
ㅡToadadat… !
Then suddenly she stumps her foot and lunges.
“Hey, Zeros? “You can handle this on your own, right?”
“Seo, senior!? What do you mean by that? … !”
“Try it. Because it seems quite possible for you now.”
“Huh? Before you know it, it’s right in front of you… !?”
ㅡBuuuuung!!!!
Eros reacts to the monster’s sudden charge by swinging the mace of punishment. It was amazingly agile reflexes.
ㅡKaaang! Kwakagak… !!
「Kkeket─!?!?」
「Kkiheeupp… !?」
The mace, which was swung wide in a fan shape, struck the monster’s head precisely. So, with just one swing, he managed to block the rush of two monsters.
ㅡ Hwaa Ahhhhh!
And it wasn’t just that.
The wind rises with a strong swing.
The enormous wind pressure was enough to push the monsters back.
A type where all stats are focused on strength. Everything was solved with only physical strength.
“How come~? It takes a bit more effort than expected, right? This level of power can be achieved with just a physical strike… ?”
“This is not the time to be admiring, Senior Leylin…” ” ! It’s impossible to completely deal with the monsters with my own strength-!!!”
“I know that well.”
“But why… ” … ?!”
“I just want to find out your skills.”
“Yes… ?”
「Grrrr … !」
「Grrrr! Kyaooooo───!!!!」
While they were talking, the monsters regained their senses from the physical shock.
Basically, monsters are beings that are difficult to completely destroy unless they have properties related to light. A blow of this magnitude was out of the question.
“… Come on, senior?! Stop playing around now and kill the monsters with the demon annihilation gun before they come to their senses!”
“No, I won’t come forward.”
“Yesss… ?! “I’ve been making strange noises since a while ago!”
“In the end, Zeros, take care of it yourself. “I think you have enough qualifications.”
“B-but no matter what, my strength alone isn’t enough… !”
“Here, take it.” “I think you can finish this on your own.”
ㅡHehe… !
With those words, Leylin throws the demon annihilation gun slung over his shoulder at Eros.
“Uh huh-?! Seo, senior… ?”
Eros suddenly accepts it and is confused.
“Just wrap it up with that.”
“But how do I…” ” … ?”
“Are you just going to keep asking questions? The Love Clan is a clan derived from our Flame Clan. “You can definitely use it.”
“Yeah, but I don’t know how to use it… !”
It was when Eros was asking Leylin for help with a very embarrassed face.
“Karrrr rrrr!!!!”
「Khaaahhh… !!!」
ㅡSweet love!!!!!
The monsters came to their senses and rushed at once again. Towards Eros, who is hesitantly holding the annihilation gun.
I decided to deal with the one who seemed the weakest among Leylin and Eros. Moreover, right now, anyone could see that he was completely defenseless.
“aahhh… ! Oh, it’s coming!!! Rather, what on earth should I do with this? … !”
“First, concentrate and pull the trigger with all your might! Don’t be scared because I’m behind you! Just focus on putting your all into it and pouring it out! “Aren’t you going to have to protect the albino someday?”
Before the monster approaches,
Leylin boosts Eros’ morale.
He wanted to prove whether he was worth staying with the breeder.
“Eh, erra, I don’t know—! Whatever happens… !”
-Chuck! Let’s go… !
When faced with an urgent situation, Eros quickly took on a plausible firing stance with his physical ability superior to others…
ㅡChulkkeun… !
Pull the trigger of the annihilation gun without hesitation.
「Tukwaagh━━────!!!!!」
And the rough sound that follows.
―Hurrrr!!!!!
A flame as great as Leylin’s is emitted.
One thing that made her different was that the flames emitted by Eros burned with a deep purple light.
“Kiheeek—!”
“The immortal body he gave me…” ” … !?!?」
And the monsters that come into contact with the flames instantly turn into black ash and evaporate into the sky.
So, he killed both monsters with just one blow.
“I-I did it… ” … ?!”
“How come? Zeros! You’re pretty!? As expected, I did my research correctly-?!”
The monsters disappear in an instant.
Simply looking at power,
It was as good as the Purgatory Breath created by Leylin.
“Good job Zeros. You’ve definitely grown since first grade, right? “I saw it again.”
“Whoa… I really thought I was going to die… ! Do you know how anxious I was-!?”
“What do you think? In the end, it worked out just as I said, right?”
“Well, that’s true, but… Anyway! Are you acknowledging me now?”
“What do you mean by approving it?”
“As teacher Heo Jeop’s woman… !”
A guy who changes his attitude with confidence as he puts down the annihilation gun.
“Hmm~ I still don’t have enough training, but… Okay! If it has this much potential, I guess we should acknowledge it-?!”
“Joe, that was great! Now, I can confidently go on a date with the pervert teacher without worrying about what my seniors think—!”
“Oh, wait! There is one more condition before that.”
“Eh..? What else… ?”
“As expected, you will be my second-in-command. “Your skills will definitely be of great help in stopping the Demon Dragon.”
“Haaa… ? “Is that what you wanted to say in the end?”
“Okay, I’ll train you every day, so look forward to it~?”
“Huh… ? Water, water lily… !?”
“Of course! Isn’t it natural to protect the white dog? So, don’t think about being lazy and just follow along diligently, right?”
“Ugh… ? I don’t like that… ?”
“Anyway, please take care of me in the future, Zeros!”
ㅡCheoeok!
Leylin eagerly rejects Eros’ rejection and holds out her hand. It meant holding her hand if you agreed with what she said.
“Tsk, it’s Eros…”
“I understand, Eros. “Are you going to be my second-in-command?”
“…”
ㅡKkook… !
And in the end, Eros reluctantly takes Leylin’s hand her
‘But what… Because she was the only senior who took care of me since first grade… And Senior Leylin, who fights monsters alone… It was pretty cool, right?’
Yes, I think you can trust and follow Senior Raylin!
“I can’t guarantee, but I’ll try!”
Soon, Eros looks at Leylin and smiles.
Besides the breeder with whom she had made a pact of love with Sonya, her only friend her, she finally opened her heart to others.
“Good! “Then shall we move quickly?”
“Moving? We just arrived here… ?”
“That’s true, but looking at the number of monsters I just faced made me anxious.”
“Hmm? So where are you moving to?”
“Let’s go back to the white dog. There’s something ominous about it.”
