222 – Human Scale Dragon
If you were to pick a factor that made the ‘human scale dragon’ raise a person’s blood pressure, the dragon that slept under the crater of the snowy mountain would definitely be the first finger. You can say ‘freezing’.
Because it is the final boss of the Snow Mountain DLC, and befits a dragon with snow-white scales, all attacks filled the freeze gauge.
It’s safe to say that if you get hit with a breath, you’ll get a certain status abnormality, and even the physically attacking Slash or Tail Swing builds up a freeze gauge.
Up to that point, you can die just by brushing against it. Due to the nature of the mode, you don’t have to hit it.
It occasionally emits a breath to form a frozen zone on the floor that lasts for 30 seconds. Standing on top of it increases the ice gauge at an incredible speed, as well as restricts walking and rolling like a poison swamp.
In other words, when dealing with a human scale dragon, it almost always meant that you had to fight with the debuffs of ‘movement speed reduction, stamina recovery reduction, battle fatigue recovery reduction, roll and evasion speed reduction’.
It’s about that much in Vanilla, but it goes without saying in Dianla mode, where the duration of floor attacks is increased and the first and second deals are reduced.
I don’t know if it’s a buff that strengthens enemies, but it’s a buff that weakens allies, so it was a bonus that the victim felt very dirty.
Not now.
ㅡQuooooo!!!!!!
The human scale dragon let out a great roar. At the roar of the snowy mountain, the corpses hanging from its scales were shattered and scattered.
When Minerva heard the roar, he calmly waved his staff. A fire broke out on the ice. A field of fire covered the entire crater, turning snow and ice everywhere into water.
ㅡQuaaa!!!!!!
It roared once more and let out his breath. A breath of extreme cold stretched toward Minerva. Everything nearby froze, creating strange shimmers.
But it was useless. With a flick of the wand, the flames that covered the crater floor rose like a protective shield and enveloped Minerva.
Breath couldn’t pierce the flames.
‘That’s it.’
He was an eternal wizard who was considered one of the strongest among humans, along with the emperor of the empire and the popes of the Holy Land.
Dragons are also described as no different from walking natural disasters, but he is overwhelming such beings from the front. It seemed to be much stronger than I thought.
The breath has faded. As the flames went out, Minerva emerged from within. The wand waved again.
Dozens of magic circles floated in the air, and chains made of flame protruded and wrapped around the human scale dragon’s body. Smoke rose from the entangled place.
The temperature of the chain itself seemed to be unusual, and the corpses near the flames were not melting ice, but burning away altogether.
“Now, be still.”
Minerva snapped her fingers. The chain of flames grew even more reddening. Then, he squeezed him tightly enough that the entangled seat was hollowed out.
The human scale dragon roared and struggled to break the chain, but even if it was called a pig, not a dragon, it was impossible to move properly with its body that would be believed.
At some point, Minerva approached me and smiled.
“This is the magic I tried to show the child. It just went well. You can show it to your child as a real test.”
Minerva snapped her fingers. Around the dragon’s chest, space began to compress to a single point.
He also stopped struggling, as if he had noticed that something was out of the ordinary. Then he looked up at the sky over the crater and let out a long roar.
At the same time, human corpses that had been clinging to each other like scales fell to the floor. His torso gradually became thinner.
‘Phase 2?’
It meant that we had entered phase 2.
The 1st phase is like a pig, but from the 2nd phase, it takes the shape of a dragon in earnest and even uses a flying pattern.
Soon after, his body turned into a perfect dragon. When all the human corpses fell off, snow-white scales appeared. The fallen corpses formed a small hill.
“It’s better than before.”
But it didn’t seem to mean much to Minerva. Even though his body was restored to its original state, the chain of flames that bound him did not even think about breaking.
When the chain was still intact despite all its strength, the human scale dragon flew up into the sky and spread its wings wide as if to try.
It was quite a spectacle to see the flame-wrapped wings spreading out to the sides. It flapped its wings and soared into the sky.
ㅡ Iron Puduck!
Exactly, he tried to fly.
The flame chain easily endured even the power of the dragon flying with all its might, and the dragon didn’t break the chain, so it couldn’t even float! It even made a loud noise and fell unseemly.
The entire crater shook and cracks appeared in the snow-covered floor. The dragon was not able to come to his senses, as if the impact of his head being slammed into the ground was great.
“Ugh…… It’s not perfect yet. You’re going to need an improvement. In practice, the activation speed is too slow.”
From noble mtl dot com
And the person who made the dragon look like that was very calmly scribbling something to fix, saying that the activation speed was too slow.
“Still, if you fix the activation speed, it will be usable. It’s been a while since I’ve been a little busy. Kid?”
“What are you doing?”
“Look carefully. It is the fruit of what we have created together.”
With an expression that seems to match something subtly, but doesn’t match, the swirling sphere that formed in the center of the dragon shattered everything around it.
It was just like the game, with everything around being sucked into the vortex. It was an instant kill, one of the patterns added when you bring the scroll to Minerva.
ㅡQuooooo!!!!!!
The human scale dragon roared loudly for the last time and lowered its head powerlessly. Red blood was slowly oozing out from the area around the guy’s chest. The floor, covered with pure white snow, was stained red.
It was only slightly moving its body, but there was no sign of movement.
It was a simple ending that made me feel empty after watching it, considering the grandiose title of DLC boss of Brunet 4.
“Hey!”
Perhaps excited by the fact that the magic she researched with the ancient scroll was successful, Minerva, who had thrown away her body and everything else, came running.
My chest, wrapped in a bathrobe, was trembling wildly. The gap between his thighs was about to open, exposing the underwear underneath.
“How was it? How was it? Huh? Huh?”
Minerva didn’t care about her self or the way she dressed, her silver-white pupils twinkling in her hand like a child who came to show off her 100 on her exam to her mother. Caught up.
“Uh…… How amazing is that?”
“Right? Does the child think so too?”
“Keep up.”
Her compliment was very formal, but the fact that she gave it was more important. Minerva hugged me with her big smile.
His face was buried between his breastbones. The warmth of her breasts and the sweet smell of milk rushed into her nostrils. Also, it has a very slight but refreshing lemon scent.
Minerva, whom I liked by putting my head between her breasts and jumping about for a long time, finally let go of her arms after 10 minutes had passed.
“Don’t you like it too much?
“Ai and I, isn’t this the result of the two of us together? It’s natural that you like it.”
‘…… Are you saying that on purpose?’
Now that I’m still in the middle of the day, Minerva’s expression turns a little serious. She seemed to have remembered what she was going to do next.
“Once the child did what he wanted, but…… Are you really okay?”
“Just do what I said. Just like before.”
“As in the past…… Got it. She just needs to stand by her side while the child absorbs the dragon’s soul, right?”
“Yes. Just do it.”
I put Minerva behind her, who smiled and waved her hand, and took the nightmare of her lost wings and approached her bastard. The human scale dragon was in a near-death state and was breathing heavily.
The vertically slit pupils glanced at me, but that was all. Did he accept his fate, or did he not even have the strength to resist? The guy made no resistance.
‘Half of his chest was cut off, but it’s a miracle that he’s still alive.’
I stabbed the wingless nightmare into his head. My eyesight was darkened. The body remains intact, but the feeling that only the mind is being sucked into somewhere fills the head.
When I slowly opened my eyes, I arrived at a place where the whole area was covered in darkness. According to the setting, it was a place where the dead dragon’s thoughts resided.
Here, you have to absorb the dragon’s thoughts or soul and accept that knowledge to understand the dragon’s words. I even go further and use verbs.
Especially since the use of dragons was essential to properly fight the boss fight against the world eater.
‘I don’t know if it will work here, but it’s better than not doing it.’
To be honest, I was also quite shocked. In the game, he was just a nasty strong dragon, but to think that he had an overwhelming fight against the god of the Holy Land.
I felt a wave behind my back. It is probably a residual thought. I turned my head. As I expected, I saw an orb the same color as his scales.
“…… Uh?”
However, it was a little different from what I remembered.
The soul, which should have been pure white like scales, was stained with all sorts of black and red stains, as if it had been contaminated.
“What is this…….”
I was confused for a moment, but the entire space was distorted and my mind was sucked out, just like when I absorbed thoughts in a game.
When I opened my eyes, I was back in the same state I had stabbed the human scale dragon’s head with a knife. He drew his sword with a puzzled look. Minerva greeted me with a smile.
“Are you back already, kid?”
“…… How long has it been?”
“It was less than a few seconds.”
Actually, time wasn’t that important. In the game, there was no way to know how much time had passed unless day and night were switched. What really mattered was the other side.
“What’s wrong, kid? You don’t look good.”
Minerva asked with her worried face.
“…… It’s nothing. I have something to think about.”
“Your face is nothing. I can’t help it if I can’t say it, but keep in mind that two are better than one.”
“I appreciate your words, but it’s a problem I have to think about on my own.”
“I can’t say that. Instead, can you tell me whenever you need my help?”
“Okay. What to do with this dragon corpse now—”
And, before I could finish my words, a shockwave of unreasonable power burst out of me.
The dragon’s corpse was hit with a direct hit, its limbs disintegrated, it floated up, and then crashed into the crater wall, spraying blood in all directions.
“…… What?”
A dumbfounded Minerva and I looked at each other.
This is a dragon word.
