17. buster call
A lot of time has passed. It took a lot of time to fill the magic bomb with magic, but it took more time than that because of the order given to Luna.
“Luna, are you sure you prepared what I said?”
“Yes. Everything is prepared.”
Then it became one.
“But Luke. Can you really kill with one of these?”
Leeche cast her gaze at the magic bomb behind me. In response, I was convinced as I thumped the glass bomb.
“no?”
If it was a bigger bomb than the originally planned Ice and Snow Dragon, it could be killed in one shot, but the current nerfed bomb couldn’t kill it in one shot. You can be sure.
“That’s why I didn’t order Luna to prepare it separately.”
Luna moved by herself the whole time we went around getting funding. What I was asked to do would have required a lot of movement rather than being difficult.
It took a while, but it was possible in this amount of time for Luna, who is the quickest to maneuver among us. If I let Yui go, it won’t end even if it takes my whole life.
“Then, it seems that the preparations are all over, so now the Ice and Snow Dragon raid begins.”
I climbed into the carriage to head to the Suin-guk. This time, instead of moving together, I moved alone for the operation.
***
A snowy mountain with snow and a blizzard. This snowy mountain was an ordinary mountain with nothing in the past. However, Skana, the Ice and Snow Dragon, froze everything to set the temperature to be comfortable for her to live in.
That was the anecdote of the birth of Snow Mountain. And a large cave at the top of that snowy mountain. That was the rare that Skana had lived for hundreds of years.
Skana, who was sleeping curled up in Rare as usual, opened her big eyes slowly, questioning the sudden presence.
Although it felt a little lower, it was clear that the target was himself.
weird. This is the top of the snow mountain. You don’t have to come, but it’s a place you can’t find. At the top of the snowy mountain where Skana’s rarity is located, oxygen is scarce, and the temperature reaches minus 70 degrees.
If you are a human, you might freeze to death or die from lack of oxygen before reaching this place, but you can feel the presence in such a situation.
And not long after, as Skana felt, a man walked in Rare.
“Oh, why is it so high?”
-·······?
Seeing that, Skana was taken aback even though she had lived hundreds of years.
Even if he wrapped it thickly, it would not be enough to come, the man in front of him walked confidently, hurting his eyes, wearing only a thin top and one bottom.
What’s unusual is that he’s burning with black flames. It was snowy mountain weather that extinguished the existing fire, but even so, the black fire seemed to show no sign of extinguishing.
However, Skana quickly regained her composure as if it was nothing. The part that surprised Skana in the first place was that she was surprised by the strange scene of burning her body.
It’s not the first time something like this has happened. As if rumors had spread that Skarna herself was in this snowy mountain, adventurous people would come once in a while.
Of course, most of them died before reaching Rare, and even if they did, that was the last of the humans.
And then, Skana turned her gaze to the human in front of her. Black hair that could be clearly seen even while burning in black flames, and red eyes that pierced the darkness.
He was the first person I saw. Although there is no trace of him in Skana’s memory, if it’s a sign, I’ve felt it once in the past.
-A human who was in the village at that time.
A voice that seemed to echo through the cave was addressed to Luke.
“What. Did you know?”
– Do you really think I didn’t know that much?
After living for a long time, several months were just Skana that felt like yesterday. Of course I remember. He hid behind a dugout when he froze the Yongin village. The difference is that there were four of us back then, but now we are alone.
-Why did the guy who ran away to save his life come back on his own? Did life ever get boring?
Skana laughed. A grunt of laughter rang through the lair.
“What are you talking about, lizard?”
Skana had been the object of awe and fear in her long life, but this was the first time she had ever been treated like a lizard. The boredom of a long life was one of the entertainments that even such a provocation would soothe the boredom.
To begin with, to Skana, humans are less than ants. Even if such a being provoked, it would be just as bad.
“Have you ever heard of rocket delivery?”
-·······?
“Because I prepared a lot for you? I prepared a full course, so taste it slowly.”
The human, who was talking unknown, suddenly gestured into the air. Some madman did not know how precious his life was and came to die on his own feet. Thinking so, Skana tried to kill Luke.
-······!
I couldn’t help but be surprised when I saw the object coming out of Luke’s hand. It was a big enough thing to blow away any boredom.
It was something that Skana had never seen before, but the magical power inherent in it was enough to threaten Skana, who thought it had no rival.
But he soon regained his composure.
-It’s a pretty cute threat.
If I exploded that at this distance, I’m sure he’d get caught up in it too. And as far as he knows, there has never been a human in the past who can survive being caught up in that amount of magic power, and there will be no one in the distant future.
In other words, if you use that item, you will suffer great damage, but the life of the person in front of you will be blown away. Of course I couldn’t use it.
“Yeah~ I’m going to use the transfer stone and run away~”
Right after that, Luke detonated the magic bomb. And Luke’s new model, which broke the transition stone, disappeared in an instant.
-·······?
Skana was left alone like that. Immediately after, a large explosion occurred.
─Quaaang!
It was a flurry of all sorts of magical powers. All elemental attacks, including light and dark, attacked Skana. He hurriedly tried to defend himself using his wings.
-Kuaaa
As I explained earlier, even Skana couldn’t avoid great damage. It was such a huge explosion that the peak of the snowy mountain was rounded off.
Of course, Skana’s rarity disappeared without leaving a trace. After the explosion, Skana’s two wings, which barely survived the explosion, became rags. Not only that, but one of the horns was broken and flying away, and there were only a few internal injuries.
Internal wounds and horns are not a big deal, but the wings will probably take decades to heal. Skana, who ate a proper blow, was indignant.
-A bug-like human baby aaa!!!
The blizzard intensified with one roar, and the great wind pressure caused a landslide. Skana raised her heavy body. It’s been a long time since I’ve been thinking about getting out of the snowy mountains.
It was the first time since his birth that he had suffered such damage. Skana flapped her tattered wings. The wings that became rags could not be used for their original purpose, but it was possible to fly by overlaying magical power on the wings.
Skana follows the provoking human along the flow of magic remaining in the transition stone. Unlike the giant flying across the sky, its flight speed was beyond imagination.
A place where the flow of magical power stopped shortly thereafter. There, he was able to find the human who had just escaped.
-Humans… Because of you, humanity today…
“Go! Buster Call!”
– Clink!
A glass bottle that flew in from somewhere penetrated Skana’s scales, and the scales, which seemed to be able to block any attack, melted. Right after that, great magic was rampant there.
─Quad Deuk! bang!
At the same time, a clattering sound was heard from somewhere.
─Chuck!
The scales were crushed by the sudden attack, and a shallow, straight laceration was formed below the chest. If it was normal, it would be an ambush that would have easily recognized Skana, but Luke, who had lost his temper due to anger, could only see Luke in front of him.
That’s why I allowed this unexpected blow.
– aaa!!!!
“Domhwangcha!”
And again, the humans in front of me disappeared using the transition stone.
***
We moved to the outside of the imperial wall using the transition stone.
“Khehehehe…”
By now, Ice and Snow Dragon must have lost his senses and been beaten up. Of course, making a transition stone cost a lot, but that was an amount that could be recovered by selling just a few scales after the raid.
Of course he knew that using the transition stone would leave traces of magical power. Amy told me, and based on that, I made a route and plan.
“All movements are expected~”
“… I doubt if this is the raid I knew.”
“Luna, throw away the party and the party. Only the victor survives in a world of weak meat.”
No matter how well you fight, the world doesn’t recognize a loser. Only the winners remain on record.
“We use everything we can. That’s ‘hunting’. Okay?”
Skana was wrong. After being buried in the snowy mountains for hundreds of years, the only thing he occasionally went out was to receive food from the dragons who lived in the dugouts. Therefore, it was impossible to know how advanced mankind has become today. I took advantage of that.
Absence of information. If you still think that you are like the humans of the old days who used to shoot arrows and wield swords, then you are going to be hit hard like you are now.
Luna has been negotiating with various races under my command. The reason it took especially long was because I was looking for Gideon and Amy.
Gideon must have been wandering around somewhere, and Amy had also disappeared somewhere as if the ruins had been investigated.
Applause for Luna who worked hard to collect all the S-class adventurers. Starting with Buster Call, Skana will encounter several races on her way. Dwarves armed with technology, elves buffed by the World Tree, etc.
The dwarves and elves themselves were negligible, but the weapons made by the dwarves and the elves who were buffed by the world tree were quite strong. By the time Ice and Snow Dragon arrives at our location, we’ll probably be able to hunt enough on our own.
“Then, it will take a while to come. Are you enjoying the banquet?”
Taking out a table and chair on the floor, I grilled the meat without hesitation. No matter how fast Ice and Snow Dragon was, the distance from the country of beasts to the empire was long, and it would be delayed due to a buster call in the middle.
The transition time from lunch to dinner. While eating a late lunch, a huge shadow was cast in the sky.
─Flutter!
Needless to say, it was Ice and Snow Dragon. It arrived just when it was time to finish eating and clean up. Ice and Snow Dragon, which landed in front of us, was almost in a living corpse.
The wings were damaged to such an extent that they could not fly again, and the horns on their heads were not visible, as if they had lost their hair. Even the scales, which seemed to never break through, were almost peeling off like fish after trimming.
A lot must have happened since I came. That’s why you say it’s hard when you leave the house. The first thing Ice Dragon said when he faced me was.
– Kill it.
It doesn’t look like he has any intention of breaking out. I don’t know why I came this far. I’ll kill you anyway
“Then don’t hesitate.”
I took out two swords and jumped up to my neck high in the sky. Since there are no scales, the sword pierces Ice and Snow Dragon’s neck as it is.
