[Black Dragon’s Fang Dagger] increases attack power and magic attack power at the same time.
That’s why the dagger was able to pierce Hexley’s skin despite the drastic level difference.
At best, it is nothing more than a scratch that would be embarrassing to even call it a scratch, but here, the phenomenon itself of ‘pierced through’ has meaning.
Basically, any being’s resistance to magic is more vulnerable to bursting from ‘inside’ than from ‘outside’.
To put it simply, it is said that magic that is activated by inserting even a small amount of mucus inside is easier to work than shooting from a distance.
《Black Dragon’s Poison Fang》
attack and defense.
environment and situation.
A complex calculation formula returns.
For a mere moment, Dojin’s actions were evaluated under the law of LOST.
And the result.
“Ah!”
It was judged by Hexley’s screams of pain.
succeded.
Beyond the drastic level difference, Dojin’s curse permeated Hexley.
Hexley threw Dojin, who was holding on to the pain that felt like a poisonous snake wriggling inside his abdomen.
“this… this… … !”
catch and kill If I don’t tear him to pieces right away, I feel like my brain will explode with anger.
Hexley raised his head to kill Do-jin, whom he had thrown before thinking about what had happened to him.
“hi. Goodbye, Sybi.”
However, Do-jin did not even give the enemy a chance to take revenge.
He gave a refreshing smile to Hexley, who was glaring at him as if he was going to kill him, and then flew back.
Naturally, Hexley immediately moved and tried to catch up, but to Do-jin, what Hexley was doing was irrelevant.
Putting in a three-minute ticking time bomb is hard work, and after that there are only very easy things left.
Kwak Kwa Kwam.
At the same time as he surrendered to gravity and fell, Do-jin fired a fireball toward the location where the magic stone bomb was installed.
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam.
As the fireball exploded, the manastone bomb that was triggered exploded, followed by another manastone bomb that exploded with the impact, causing a series of explosions, making the center of the waterway a mess.
It was enough to break steel bridges and ladders, but that was enough to tie the enemy’s feet down for a while.
It will take a while. If only he could buy himself and the Elder time to sink down there, down the black hole that ravenously gobbles up the city’s waters.
“Teacher!”
I heard the elder’s tearing voice.
But I didn’t have time to look at it.
Instead, Dojin looked at the wall and pulled the long rope there with telekinesis.
widely.
Dojin, who caught it, pulled the rope with all his might.
“oh?”
It was Elder who was connected to the line, and she was dragged by Dojin’s pull and joined in free fall.
Dojin laughed as he saw Elder falling a little higher than himself.
‘done.’
The enemy is planted with a deadly time bomb that will be activated after 3 minutes.
By destroying bridges and ladders, the enemy’s path to the Elder was cut off in a short time.
Elder used the prepared rope to drop it into the safest place in the current situation, deep underground, which would be filled with water.
It would be impossible for a priest from up there screaming madly in rage to find an Elder who would disappear down the black hole in a short amount of time.
Elders who do not drown will recover over time, and then the destiny quest is complete.
‘I’m going to die… … .’
Everything else is achievable.
Do-jin was chosen.
If it’s a life that has a high probability of giving up to the enemy if you have to endure it anyway, I’d rather use it as a means to win.
The sense of splashing and falling into the water, followed by the sense of being swept away by the fierce fire, attacked Dojin.
A large amount of water pours in through your nose and mouth without even having time to control your breath.
With the terrible feeling of water filling his lungs, Do-jin’s consciousness went out.
* * *
Looking at Do-jin tying a rope around his waist, Karin didn’t wonder what he was doing.
I was just thinking about doing something.
Even when I was watching Dojin plant the magic stone bomb, I had no thoughts.
I just had the perception that I was doing something like that.
Because whatever is happening around you is fine.
It’s good if you’re lucky enough to find something to fill your empty heart, and if you can’t find it and it disappears, that’s fine.
But this wasn’t okay.
‘This isn’t it. This… No.’
I didn’t know that the rope that was tied around his waist would have such a use now.
Karin thought that even if she was in danger, she would be in danger.
However, Do-jin betrayed all of her expectations.
‘Has everything you’ve been doing since before been for this? Sacrificing yourself to save me?’
Just as Do-jin did not ask for Karin’s name, Karin also did not hear Do-jin’s name.
Karin felt fear when she saw Dojin swaying around in the rough currents from a little ahead.
I hope that person will die. I’m afraid I won’t even be able to find that person’s body. I’m afraid I’ll have to live forever without knowing that person’s name.
‘in action… Please move.’
Such currents were nothing to her as a vampire elder.
Normally, I would have reached the person in front of me in the blink of an eye, and I would have been able to move to a safe place in an instant.
But not now. Not now. All in all, that’s not possible now. at the most desperate time.
‘dummy!’
Karin was resentful of herself.
From the moment he left the principality, he regretted every choice he made.
I thought that they came together to create the current situation.
As such, Karin’s heart, like a new sprout, poured out helplessly toward Dojin.
It blooms, grows, overflows, overflows.
‘no!’
There was a point where the waters diverged.
At this rate, Dojin and the flow may be different.
Karin desperately tried to move her body.
Her efforts moved her immovable body very little.
It was only at the level of wriggling, but that brought about a miracle.
Whirly Rick.
The rope fluttering around Dojin was entangled with his body.
While connected like that, Dojin and Karin continued to flow.
* * *
The place where Karin and Dojin arrived was a small empty lot.
It must have been a space created after being cut away by the current for a very long time.
There, Karin was kissing Dojin.
“Whoop, whoop, whoop.”
He was doing artificial respiration based on the method he read in the book.
The only problem was that the only thing I could move was the top of my neck.
I had to crawl with my chin when approaching Dojin, and I had to push Dojin over with my head and force it.
The chest compressions also became a strange posture in which Dojin climbed up Dojin’s body with his chin and thumped him with his head.
Even breathing in was difficult because the angle was not right.
Even so, Karin diligently pulled out the knowledge she gained from the book and did what she could.
“Cool, cool… … .”
“Teacher!”
Did the world think of that effort as virtual? Dojin vomited water with a weak cough.
Karin looked at Dojin with delight.
However, consciousness still did not return.
In addition, he was in very poor condition due to injuries sustained from being swept away by the strong current and colliding here and there.
The sound of breathing and heartbeat that I finally found was so weak that it wouldn’t be strange if it stopped at any time, and it gradually got weaker.
‘Hold on a little longer, please. I’ll be sure to save you when I recover.’
With her head buried in Dojin’s chest, Karin prayed like that.
Pound, pound, pound, pound.
A human voice that vampires cannot make.
Do-jin’s heartbeat is engraved on Karin.
Time passed.
Karin was able to move her fingers.
pounding… pounding… pounding… … .
The interval between Dojin’s heartbeats widened slightly.
Karin’s feet moved a little.
pounding… pounding… pounding… … .
In proportion to that, Dojin’s heartbeat became weaker.
Recognizing in real time the condition of herself gradually recovering and Dojin gradually walking towards death, Karin felt that her blood and soul were drying up together.
‘If this person dies… I will long for annihilation more than I do now. However… You won’t be able to die. It’s a life I took infinitely lightly, but the moment this person dies, my life will become infinitely heavy.’
This person’s life will add to the weight of mine.
The emotions that I newly realized and learned were all things I did not want to know again.
And what bloomed at the end was the same weight of hatred.
Hatred toward the priest who was wearing white clothes that made Dojin like this.
‘Perhaps he was the one who cheated on me.’
Although their faces and voices were different, Karin could tell the other person apart by the sounds their bodies made.
The probability of faking a face and voice was much higher than the probability of two heartbeats.
‘Never miss. I will hold you accountable for this even if I follow you to the end of the world.’
Karin made a promise. Even if it means checking the heartbeats of all living things in this world.
He said he would avenge the man he couldn’t even ask for his name.
with a splash.
At that time, another sound interrupted Dojin’s heartbeat.
“The worm-like kites were here… … .”
Hexley was ecstatic with joy.
* * *
The curse permeated successfully, but the damage was critically lacking.
Even the dot damage that lasted for 3 minutes and the damage that was 3 times that amount did not kill Hexley.
Do-jin dragged Elder and left himself in the water because he had that possibility in mind.
It’s a problem to hold out for 3 minutes until the explosion ends at the end of the dot deal, but it’s more of a problem if the enemy doesn’t die.
However, there was something that Dojin did not expect even with the enemy’s survivability in mind: Hexley’s madness and obsession.
No matter how crazy he was, he hadn’t thought that he would pursue it to the point of jumping into a black hole where he didn’t even know what the bottom looked like.
However, as soon as Hexley’s damage from the curse was restored to some extent, Hexley jumped into the hole to chase Do-jin, and reached the place where Do-jin and Karin are now.
“Heh heh. As expected, he looks like a man who did something against the will of the great providence. It looks like an insect that is dead in water. But, you don’t deserve to die so easily. Yes, I’ll cut off the limbs and leave them here. You should dig out your eyes too. as well as the eardrum. Even if you regain consciousness, you won’t even know what situation you’re in. It will dry up and die so slowly. yes, that would be nice.”
It’s a very fittingly pitiful death.
Hexley, who was looking at Do-jin with bright white eyes, found Karin belatedly.
She was glaring at Hexley with burning eyes.
“Whoa, whoa, it looks like I haven’t gotten out of the situation where I can’t control myself yet. wait a moment. I carry an overflow of holy water and forbidden materials for you. I’ll have to think about how to get out, but I can’t leave the precious materials needed for a great providence in a place like this.”
Hexley said so and walked away.
“Oh, no!”
Karin laid her body on top of Dojin’s body.
Even though I know it’s useless, I have no choice but to do it.
several tens of minutes at most. If it’s short, in a few minutes, he’ll regain his powers as a Vampire Elder.
Thinking so, Karin tightly closed her eyes.
That moment.
“ha… … .”
A very familiar sigh tickled Karin’s ears.
A voice that was so small that it was hard to hear unless it was Karin was the boredom left over from a long and long time.
This was the voice of ‘Father’.
Karin, relaxed, opened her eyes and turned her head towards the source of the sound.
there was. Behind Hexley, the owner of the Shadow Principality covered in black mist.
Looking at him, Karin said a title she had never heard of before in her life.
“Dad… … !”
Hexley, unaware of the Archduke’s existence, misunderstood Karin’s words out of fear and laughed out loud.
“Even you guys, like big blood-sucking mosquitoes, are looking for mothers and fathers in the face of death! It’s disgusting, disgusting-“
pick.
Hexley’s finger-pointing wrist went slashed.
Pick pick pick.
His arm continues to be cut off little by little.
Hexley let out an ugly scream at the belated pain, but that was short-lived.
Pip Pip Pip –
Countless sounds were heard, and Hexley was left lying on the floor, losing an arm and a leg in an instant.
He couldn’t even scream.
This is because the blood that was forcibly regurgitated from the lungs deprived him of the right to make a sound.
Even so, there was no death from lack of oxygen.
Even dying in front of Archmage Carnes Tyrund required his permission.
Grand Duke Tirund thought as he looked at his daughter’s eyes.
‘I was a child who could have eyes like that… … .’
before becoming a vampire.
A child with a beating heart used to cherish a dead bird in the garden and look at it like that.
“father… Save this person, save this person… … .”
okay. You used to say that even back then.
Then I answered like this.
‘You cannot bring a dead life back to life. That is the providence and law of this world.’
And the memory of seeing you crying and not knowing how to comfort you is still vivid.
“Fortunately though… This time, you will be able to ease your worries.”
yes, it was good
The animal the daughter had picked up this time was not yet dead.
“Let’s go back.”
A black mist spread from the body of the Archduke of Tirund.
The fog enveloped not only Do-jin and Karin, but also Hexley, who was deprived of life and death at the same time.
And the fog evaporated, accompanying everything it enveloped.
