Attack – Corrupted Hero (1)
Drakhan turned to the sound of footsteps coming from behind.
It’s still early, so the moon hasn’t risen and you can’t see ahead.
Of course, there would be no intruders, so it was obvious that one of the villagers had something to see. That’s because he and Riel always go out of town to scout at this time.
jacuzzi.
At the familiar stride and sound, Drakhan recalled the child’s appearance. She was a little girl, about five years old.
Drakan and Riel walked to the place where the sound was coming, lest the child fall over. When I pretended to be popular on purpose, I raised my voice as if the child heard it too.
“Are you uncle?”
“okay. What’s going on at this hour? dangerously.”
“That’s…, huh?”
“Bye.”
At that time, the child walked without seeing Riel, eventually bumping into each other and making a noise. It was only the child who fell.
“sorry. I should have avoided it.”
Riel apologized and lifted the child up. Since it was this close, the shape was recognizable even without light.
In fact, by raising mana, it was enough to secure sight in this darkness, but I didn’t have to. She used to think that looking at her opponent’s face one-sidedly was an act of reluctance.
“Anyway, why are you here in danger?”
“There is something I want to ask you.”
The little boy hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth.
“Hey, where did the older sisters and the older brother go?”
Hearing that question, Riel unintentionally looked at Drakhan.
It is a difficult question to answer. I couldn’t even call it a safe zone. Perhaps this child’s common sense is that people from other regions live in a desolate place just like themselves.
If I had found out about the area protected by the protection of the tower, I would have been shocked.
either in a good sense or in a bad sense.
Lying is not good. But there was no need to tell the useless truth.
“…a little far from this town.”
“Then will we come back here later?”
The child hurriedly spoke before Drakhan stopped speaking.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen other people, but I haven’t been able to play too much. Especially her dark-haired older sister couldn’t even ask her name.”
“okay. Maybe we’ll see you later.”
“Uh. Really?”
“okay. So now go back to sleep.”
Drakhan brought the child home and returned.
Riel was waiting for him at the entrance. And after being greeted by the guards, they moved to the Nether. While she was walking without a word, Riel opened her mouth.
“So what do you think?”
“I mean guys.”
Riel frowned and muttered.
“Do you really think you wouldn’t have disclosed the location of this place?”
“Hmm. I can’t give you an answer for sure.”
“Then why didn’t you kill me?”
Drakhan smirked at those words.
“I don’t like it, and I don’t like you either, so why?”
Riel was speechless and kept her mouth shut.
“Honestly, I think the three of us will be fine. But I like the title.”
“That guy?”
“uh. I thought that seeing people gives me a sense of humor…”
Drakhan paused for a moment and recalled the memories of that time.
“Untitled juniors didn’t know at all. He’s an unpredictable guy.”
“Hmm. It’s only been a week, isn’t it?”
“It’s not like that…. Oh, is it time now?”
As Drakhan said, I saw a gate opening in the Nether. Drakhan wiped his wrists and finished preparing for battle without much inspiration.
“I’ve been doing this for years and it’s like a routine.”
“Wait, Drakan.”
Riel did not immediately turn into a weapon and muttered in a serious voice.
“…not one.”
The weapon’s human senses were accurate.
As Riel said, several gates began to be built one after another. Whoa! Eventually, the wizards in robes walked out one by one from the completed gate.
There are only five patterns of school engraved on the robes.
The wizards, who had only come in a very small number of people, came in large numbers unlike before.
“Corrupted Hero, Drakhan!”
Some of the wizards shouted in a loud voice.
“I’m here to subdue your public figures!!!”
“. . . . . .
Do you still believe in the number of pages and install it? Drakhan’s head shook spontaneously.
[How about the wound?]
“so-so.”
I put the bandage back on. The wound on his left hand did not heal at all. However, I didn’t want to go naked, and the painful sensation was still there, so I needed to put pressure on it.
“I’m glad I’m not on my right hand though. It will get in the way of shooting.”
[Hmm. Anyway, you can just use me instead of a gun…, ugh!!!]
[Ugh… Oh, it’s coming. Fuck ⎯!]
I threw the holy sword far away before the guy had a seizure.
Fortunately, the Holy Sword regained consciousness after re-awakening. Rather, the problem is that the energy is rising enough to do a lot of crazy things.
‘Beatrice was more surprised than that.’
The moment she told Drakan that she had heard of her sister, Beatrice almost collapsed. If she hadn’t hastily added that she didn’t know who her sister was, she would have fainted….
[▶Mika Beatrice: I want to have a conversation with ‘Drakan’.]
Once he found out that Drakhan had reason, the contents of the Easter Egg changed. The setting that had been established by killing Drakan has now been changed to having a conversation.
In other words, no matter what happens now, if Beatrice and Drakhan come into contact, they will talk unconditionally.
‘If I tried to kill Drakhan, this was a bad butterfly effect…’
It doesn’t matter because it isn’t. Because I was planning to take him as an ally. It was time for the holy sword’s seizure to end, so I picked it up and put it nearby.
“Oh, and the subjugation of the fallen hero starts next week.”
[It’s faster than I thought.]
“Since it has already been publicly declared, there is no reason to delay any further.”
Above all, it’s been quite some time since the ‘Main Quest’ came to mind.
beep. When I turned on the TV that was turned off, the news was just coming out. A screen with the publicly declared face of Drakhan is visible. It was a picture from 10 years ago, so it was quite different from what it is now.
Fortunately, the name of the ‘Beatrice’ family did not appear. This part was probably given some power by the imperial family. Mika Beatrice is also the commander of the knights that the ‘Princess’ cherishes.
[By the way, is there still no news from the untitled lady?]
“yes. Noah Park will move with TOP. It’s obvious.”
I can get a rough idea of what the forces behind Park Noah are trying to do. He’s probably trying to use information about Drakhan’s location and the town he lives in.
As long as Noah Park decides to subdue Drakhan, it is safe to say that she is currently cooperating with that faction.
‘And he will try to deal directly with Drakhan.’
In the tower, there are very few combat positions except for wizards, so it has no choice but to do so. I don’t know if there is any help from the imperial family and the temple, but there seems to be no direct military support this time.
There will be a situation where Noah Park and Drakhan will collide and the wizards will support him and fight. In that situation, I have to prevent the clash between the two, avoid the interference of the wizards, and draw Drakhan as an ally.
this is true It was a plan at a level that anyone would call a delusion. Seonggeom added, wondering if he was worried about my carefree appearance.
[Subjugation is just around the corner, are you ready for that grand plan?]
“uh? Well, yes.”
Actually, I don’t really have any plans to make it.
Just in case an enemy appears in the way of achieving my goal.
[Custom Weapon]
[Holy Sword]
…because I was planning to wipe it out with magic and weapons.
Nether.
A battle was taking place on the land where the erosion stayed and the red moon rose.
Gugu Palace! The ground shakes, and then the figure moves. The mass of land floating in the air was consumed as a material to create dozens of stones. Eventually, the magicians who dealt with space magic manifested their magic.
When a gate appeared in the air, the wizards aimed at it and started shooting.
Drakhan frowned for the first time and stepped back. Contrary to what the wizards had expected, the offensive was not serious.
‘It’s different from before.’
Up until now, I had only felt as if I had come to die, but this time the momentum was completely different. In fact, it’s even weirder that I’ve never done this before.
Drakhan’s personality is to suppress the flow of mana. As such, substances that have already been secondarily affected are not affected by personality.
Whoa! Under the red moon, space opens and rocks fall. Because the short distance was forcibly spread with space magic, the momentum of the more accelerated stones was very ferocious.
You can’t aim directly at Drakhan, but that doesn’t mean you can’t hit it at all. Even if the accuracy was low, if you headed to the location where Drakhan was, you could get caught in the attack range enough.
“Riel!”
A black light flashed at Drakhan’s shout, and the weapon’s shape was reversed.
Drakhan, who suddenly grabbed the bow, hung mana arrows on the string and began to shoot. The arrows that flew at high speed caused an explosion and easily shot down the stones.
Koo! Debris falls to the floor and vibrates. After one offensive was over, the wizards and Drakhan looked at each other and remained silent.
“. . . a fallen hero.”
Then the silence is broken, and an elderly man walks out from among the wizards. It was probably the culprit behind this attack.
“I’ll tell you, T.O.P didn’t leave you alone because he couldn’t catch you. I was just observing how it came out.”
Drakhan aimed the demon at the old man and fired mana arrows.
Whoops! An explosion occurred, but when it cleared, an old man was seen standing still. It was a distance that Drakan’s personality did not reach, so he defended it with magic.
“Just as you can stop our magic, we can stop your attacks.”
“Oh, right? Then stop this.”
The old man looked puzzled at Drakhan’s tired voice.
“···Ugh?!”
At that moment, not only the old man but also other wizards recognized that their legs were being sucked into something.
Erosion, which is natural to stay in the Nether, is attacking them. What this meant was clear.
Corrupted hero, Drakhan, deals with erosion.
“Hey, what is this!”
“her. I was full of shit. I guess you still didn’t know this information?”
Perhaps he took advantage of the fact that it was mainly used to clean up corpses. The wizards were slowly sucked into the erosion in vain compared to their number and momentum.
He spit out an arrogant curse until the end, but it did not give Drakhan the joy of victory. Rather, his expression was darker than usual.
Whoo! After the battle was over, Riel Arwell returned to human form. Seeing Riel put on the robe herself, Drakhan told her partner.
“Riel. We need to move the villagers to another place.”
firm tone.
Drakhan sighed and called out Riel’s name.
“Riel.”
“Why did you stay there all this time? You know that if you lose your faith, you will lose your sanity again to Erosion.”
“no. It was because it was difficult to maintain reason with Erosion at that time. But now I’m good at dealing with erosion. You know that.”
“You know what? Rather, it is because I have seen the power of erosion.”
Riel pointed to the barren land where the wizards had just stood.
“Do you think the power to eat so many wizards at once without effort is the only exception for you?”
“It is dangerous to abandon the village where faith is made and move only believers. . . . there are no other measures.
It was clear from the circumstances that the tower had grasped the location of the village. However, there was no other way to prepare, so Drakhan had no choice but to sigh and smile bitterly.
“Whoa…. The problem is that there is no solution.”
The conversation he had with Seo Ji-han inadvertently came to mind in Drakhan’s mind.
A story that asks you to become an ally to climb the tower.
The story was that he could ask for the protection of the villagers he was guarding.
‘Go up to the tower again…’
But Drakhan Beatrice.
‘…that is nonsense.’
The vain delusion was soon erased from my mind.
