141. breath
+++
The reason why breath is a dragon’s unique special move.
First, even a creature with enough mana to use the breath was counted on one hand.
Tiama whined as she entrusted herself to Tiamat.
“Mom… my legs are just shaking…”
“Let’s go in and rest today. Well done, my daughter.”
“Hehehe…”
Even Tia, the dragon, was exhausted with just one breath.
Even Tia, whose dragon heart hadn’t fully grown, would lightly fit on ten fingers on the continent if lined up with the amount of mana.
To that extent, the breath was a special move that consumed an enormous amount of mana.
Of course, meeting the amount of mana doesn’t mean you can fire a breath.
what is magic It refers to the study of mimicking natural phenomena through formulas, using mana as a sample of change.
Even if you’re not a dragon, you can shoot fire and move water with magic.
But breath is not magic.
It was not a phenomenon imitated by mana, but the release of mana itself.
Gather the whole body’s mana into your mouth and fire it forward?
It’s easy to say, even Dokgo Moo-yeong, the highest authority on mana control, cannot achieve such a high level of control.
Do-yoon is the only warrior who has applied detailed mana control in practice.
Warriors in this world can’t even spread mana all over their body. Therefore, the only thing to do is to load and spread mana into the heart’s bloodstream, and to do this, it is to collect mana in the heart.
‘But if it’s me.’
This was impossible even for Enoch in his previous life.
However, now Doyun has increased his mana control by using the dragon’s mana breathing method, and his willpower has become stronger through various system corrections and growth.
In addition, the body of this new species has excellent mana affinity to the extent that the entire body is comparable to the legendary mineral adamantite.
And most of all, the confidence I felt while watching the breath I just had.
‘Certainly I can.’
Doyoon trusted his intuition.
Tiamat walked over to Doyoon and Ray, who were standing there blankly, hugging Tia and asked.
“How do you feel about seeing your daughter’s breath?”
“…Ugh? Dad?”
Tiama pulled her head out of Tiamat’s arms and looked at Doyoon. I was just about to fall asleep from exhaustion, and my eyes were half closed.
Doyoon stretched out her arms, and Tia naturally moved into his arms, rubbing her sleepy eyes.
Tia grabbed Doyoon’s chest with her fists and pulled her, and she fell asleep quickly, rubbing her face in his arms. Tired, really tired.
“It was great.”
“Maybe it’s because he grew up bathed in high-quality aura, he’s very smart.”
Tiamat smiled faintly at Doyoon and Tia. Now it was Doyoon who didn’t say anything even if she openly called her daughter.
“…By the way, breath.”
Doyun told Tiamat what he felt.
At this, Tiamat widened her eyes and showed interest as if she was having fun. Ray was also very surprised and looked at him with bright eyes.
“Can you really do it?”
“brother? Gee, is it real?”
“Um… maybe.”
Tiamat stretched out her hand to move Mana, and Tiamat’s sleeping body floated up and returned to her mother’s arms. It was a detailed magic without a chant or a hand sign.
“If Tia sees it, she’ll go crazy over Daddy’s coolness.”
“Don’t wake me up. Just give it a try.”
Doyoon stood in the center of the radially spread grass. It was the spot where Tia shot her breath toward the sky.
“Whoa…”
Taking a deep breath, he recalled the feeling from earlier.
‘Obviously… the movement of mana…’
Looking up at the clear sky through a circular hole, his dragon heart, located in the danjeon, burned.
It’s windy again. Whoops. Nature and vegetation respond to his vigorously moving mana. It was the same sign as before Tia fired her breath.
Ray saw this and made a fuss.
“Oh, oh…! Gee, for real! It really feels like that!”
Doyoon hyung is trying to shoot a real breath! Han Doyoon Breath!
He swelled with excitement as he imagined a thick, golden column stretching toward the sky.
In Doyoon’s mouth, which opened towards the sky, golden mana gathered in the form of a sphere.
“Haaa…!”
woo woo woo-
A truly staggering amount of mana.
Doyoon felt the vibration of his jaw and skull, and the muscles of his entire body tightening. It was also the first time that he had complicatedly controlled so much mana.
He felt the formidable destructive force gathering in his mouth, pure power.
‘this…!’
This is the breath…!
Already, the power of it vibrated his entire body.
He shuddered that he was mastering this incredible finisher.
Soon, mana gathered in his mouth.
The air and vegetation all around violently shook, and Ray and Tiamat stuck out their tongues.
“Wow, wow…! God, what mana…!”
“Hoo.”
It was much more mana than Tia’s.
Ray urged him on.
“brother! Shoot fast! To the sky!”
woo woo woo-
However, Doyoon only opened his mouth overflowing with golden light toward the sky, and did not take any other action.
“brother?”
At that point, Ray also felt strange.
Doyoon rolled his eyes in embarrassment.
‘Uh, how do I shoot?’
I collected mana, but I don’t know how to shoot it.
It was really disappointing.
“brother? What are you doing?”
“this.”
Tiamat, who grasped the situation, moved her hand and prepared the magic.
Even in the midst of this, Doyoon was getting tired of this tremendous energy that was getting harder and harder to control.
‘This, how should I do this…’
As his mana control began to run out, the spherical mana gathered in his mouth began to stir. form collapses
“Uh, huh? Tongue, brother!”
“Get down.”
At the same time as Tiamat spreads her protective shield.
‘uh…’
aagh-!!
There was a big explosion.
+++
“…!”
Do-yoon woke up from the bed and immediately circulated the mana of his whole body and touched his head with his hand.
‘…He lived.’
Fortunately, the head was attached. Although there were some internal injuries, the rest of the body was also intact.
‘This is… the world tree treatment room.’
Right before the explosion, I felt a complicated flow of mana.
It seems that Tiamat protected people, buildings, and Doyoon with her magic.
“Wake up, mana quarrel.”
I turned my head towards the voice. I saw Tiamat leaning against the wall, and Tia sleeping floating in the air.
“It was a very rare sight, Roosevolnik. To discharge that huge amount of mana like vomiting. I had a hard time holding back my laughter and spreading my magic.”
“…Have you seen Tia?”
“It has been two hours since you passed out. Tia was asleep too.”
“Good thing. really.”
“You’d better be mindful of the half-dragon kid’s mouth.”
Doyoon nodded. Really, I didn’t want Tia to know about that ugliness.
Doyun sought advice from Tiamat.
“What happened?”
“Everything except the launch was perfect. There was no problem with mana control, but it seems that it was impossible to fire due to the structure of its mouth.”
Do-yoon felt his strength draining from the dejection. Was that the only reason?
“But I never thought it would explode in my head. It was a very interesting sight.”
“…”
Do-yoon couldn’t bear to get angry. Because it was Tiamat who protected him. It would have been a big deal if she hadn’t been there.
“But I really didn’t think it would succeed… Live and live, you see all the people who almost used their breath.”
“I’m really almost done…”
“How about this? While holding the breath in one’s mouth, biting the opponent…”
“If you’re going to make fun of me, get out.”
“Rest, puppet.”
“get out.”
The expressionless Doyoon muttered lowly.
After Tiamat closed the door and left, Doyun lay down on the patient bed again and reviewed what had happened earlier.
‘Didn’t the regression trigger this time again?’
He looked down at the necklace. A necklace studded with black dragon heart cubic glittered brightly. It was as if a little golem was looking up at him.
Return did not trigger.
In other words, the little golem judged that the situation was not dangerous, or it was a situation that could not be avoided by briefly returning.
‘Not the latter. Even if I went back for a few seconds, I was able to return to a situation where I could gather mana.’
If that’s the case, then this guy didn’t see it as a crisis.
‘Is it because Tiamat is by my side?’
Or… does it mean that they were able to succeed?
‘Well…’
Doyoon regained his senses from earlier.
that electrifying energy. If I could release it in the form of a breath, it would be a really great power.
‘I think it will…’
With deep regret, Doyoon continued to recall the feelings from earlier.

knock, knock, knock
A dark forest road in the middle of the night.
A man with his back to the wire rode at full gallop on horseback. Muspelheim, in the direction of home country.
“Hee-eok, hee-eok, hee-eok…!”
Even though he was exhausted to the point of collapsing, he managed mana with all his might.
The combined power of his skills and attributes enveloped the horse. The horse also stuck out its tongue and looked like it was going to faint, but the man’s mana forcibly boosted the horse’s speed.
The horse and man ran desperately, as if being chased by something.
But the man soon gritted his teeth.
“This shit…!”
It is felt. The monsters followed.
The highest rank apostle, and also in the position of a ranger, he looked everywhere without even rolling his eyes.
20 horses.
‘Can’t win.’
He quickly gave up. There were only 20 of them, but it was not a number he could handle.
Cold sweat wets the whole body and lowers the body temperature. Terror played with his jaws, his teeth chatting.
He immediately remembered the road to hell he had escaped from.
‘Monster… Monster…!’
After the Berd War, the Metapolis Fortress expanded the castle and strengthened its troops.
In addition to the finest water-based weapons, the number of best apostles deployed also increased significantly.
However, the fortress of Metapolis, which had endured three days despite Berd’s siege, had just collapsed. in just one night.
‘Monsters…!’
An apostle is a weapon of war blessed by God. Among them, the highest level apostle is a high-class force capable of overturning a mid-scale battle alone.

Just as Doyoon finished the battle alone in the battle of the tsunami trainer.
However, a man who belonged to the highest level apostle, the strongest in the alliance, and would be laughed at even in the 100th rank, simply ran away.
He was trembling in fear of only 20 enemies.
‘Fuck, fuck, fuck…! Does this make sense!!’
His teeth trembled at the unbelievable, nightmare-like reality.
My limbs trembled at the thought of the road to hell I had just escaped from. The sight of monsters overwhelming the top apostles, the sight of those monsters teeming with them like the sea.
‘You have to inform the military! somehow!’
The front line was swept away without a chance to contact the military. One of the best fortresses, Metapolis, collapsed in one night. It was a terrible disaster.
He ran as fast as he could, with the single thought of delivering the news.
However, soon his body hardened.
Three just outpaced him.
‘Fuck!!’
Without a break, a hook-like hand emerged from the grass in the forest ahead.
Bloody speed. However, as an agility-optimized ranger, he was able to barely dodge by ducking his head.
“Huh!”
thump until your heart hurts
Luckily I got one out…
Pudeuk-
“…!”
left arm torn off
It was the work of another.
Before long, the death of the horse was heard along with another destructive sound.
Hee hee hee-!
The horse whose leg had been cut off fell over, and he fell off the horse.
“Ah, uh…”
The man lying on the floor trembled all over. Due to mana exhaustion, he didn’t even have the strength to get up.
Fear consumed his sanity.
‘No, that’s ridiculous…’
There were definitely records of them. The latest one is the battle of Apostle Han Do-yoon.
But it couldn’t have been that overwhelmingly strong. Apostle Han Do-yoon said that he had stopped the 15 attackers on Lock Enmaire by himself at the point of only 2 months.
“It’s fucking different!!”
he shouted, scratching the ground with his fingernails. A piece of stone dug under his fingernails, but the pain paralyzed his sense of pain.
They were much stronger than the record. He believed that Apostle Han Do-yoon submitted false records for the feat.
Kirk, Kirk. Kerruk-
“…!”
A voice came from the darkness.
Countless amber light sources appeared. Each paired were eyeballs that glowed in the dark.
“Ah, uh…”
He trembled at the gaze of demons looking at him.
and soon.
“aa!!”
Kwajik, poudeudeuk-!
Agjak-
Blood and flesh splattered in the forest.
Soon, the forest was quiet again.
The fortunes of war hung over the frontlines.
