Assault – Corrupted Hero (3)
“I know. I never expected to see you so soon.”
When Drakhan smiled bitterly, Noah Park bluntly shook her head.
“Isn’t that obvious? You are the enemy.”
However, the tone was quite awkward to the extent that anyone would think it was strange. Drakhan looked around, not paying attention to Noah Park’s words. He saw only the desolate land, but not the others.
‘Did you come all the way here from a gate that is said to have been created somewhere else?’
First of all, the senses are unbelievable by that ‘man’. There’s no way he couldn’t have missed out on creating a gate by mistake.
At least within the visual range, neither wizards nor aspiring heroes were found, but Drakhan raised his vigilance and asked.
“What are the other guys doing?”
I’m talking about aspiring heroes who came to the Nether together.
Park Noah pretended not to know and tried to pass the word, but the reaction convinced Drakhan.
“okay. Looks like he did it alone. So now you’re not moving with the academy, but with the tower?”
“How are you sure about that?”
“under. That’s obvious.”
It was Riel who answered that question. A black light slowly emanated from Riel, who was sneering at him.
“Because the untitled came alone without a partner. is not it?”
Park Noah’s impression of being stabbed in the corner is slightly frowned upon. Seeing that expression, Drakhan smiled and raised her hand. As a signal, her black light turned into a black long sword and held in her hand.
Drakhan swung his sword lightly and leaned it against his shoulder.
“Anyway, I know what it means to be here.”
grasp! At the same time, Drakhan kicked the ground and rushed to Noah Park. There are many things to ask about the current situation. Park Noah’s cooperation was needed to understand the situation.
‘You must suppress it first.’
It would have been easy if there was only one Park Noah, but the existence of that man is unknown. It didn’t mean I was going to lose to a man. However, when dealing with two people at the same time, Noah Park was ‘untitled’, so it was necessary to subdue it in advance.
Untitled had a talent that grew rapidly through the experience of battle. It also meant that at some point, you could become equal to yourself.
Wow! As Riel swung around, a clear sound of iron resounded.
And Drakhan felt strange at the shock from his hand.
‘···You can stand this?’
A small dagger was held in Noah Park’s hand, who she thought was not armed.
The problem is that the dagger did not break against the weapon man, Riel Arwell, and received Drakhan’s power with certainty. It was clear that it wasn’t an ordinary weapon.
When their weapons touched each other, it was Noah Park who moved first.
Suck! Park Noah twisted her wrist and climbed up on Riel’s sword. The blade of the dagger grabbed by the reverse water pierces his neck at high speed.
But it was an easy approach. Noah Park, who was hit in the stomach by Drakhan’s knee, bowed his back and exhaled.
If he had put the sword in his defenseless back, Noah Park would have been dead, but Drakhan did not wield Riel. This is because the purpose was not to kill Park Noah, but to subdue it.
Drakhan stretched out his left hand to grab Noah Park’s neck, but Noah Park regained his breath and quickly retreated back.
‘You’re using your head.’
Noah Park already knows that she can’t compete with Drakhan. Before she could gauge her power, she must have already experienced firsthand through training.
That’s why he acted with the conviction that Drakhan wouldn’t kill him. And the action was correct.
Park Noah, who opened the distance behind her, pulled out the spear the man had shot earlier, and brought the dagger she was holding close to the spear. slurp. Then, the shape of the dagger disappeared and melted into the spear.
Drakhan knew the identity of the metal.
“no wonder. That dagger seems to be ‘Soul Season’.”
Soul iron, an extremely rare metal. Drakhan also has some, so he knows the nature of it well. It is unknown where he got it, but the soul-cheol that Park Noah currently owns was lent by a man.
Then, a man’s weapon was shot through the air from behind.
Drakhan raised Riel to block the weapon, but for some reason, the weapon’s head was pointing toward Park Noah, not Drakhan.
Wow! Noah Park swung her fortified spear and struck the flying long sword.
“What is this?!”
When Noah Park got angry, the man who had been silently watching him shook his head.
“Go back, Noah Park. You haven’t changed your mind now, have you?”
The man pulled out a sword containing Noah Park’s faith and walked forward. At his approach, the erosion was slowly pushed back.
The original faith must lose its power if it falls into the hands of others. However, Noah Park’s ‘faith’ in the man’s hands was maintained. As for making the senses disappear, that mysterious power had a clear ‘personality’.
The man cut away the erosion and said to Noah Park.
“If not you, is there anyone who will guide you to the village? It must have been my excuse for leaving the wizards there.”
Whether the man’s guess was true, Park Noah couldn’t resist and bit her molars. Drakhan, who was watching the situation, opened his mouth, staring at the slowly approaching man.
“Junior.”
“What the hell are you thinking?”
Drakhan lowered the Riel he was holding. It meant having a conversation.
“I don’t think they’re trying to kill me, nor to destroy the village to destroy my faith. Listening to the author, it seems that you are reluctant to act too, what the hell do you want to do?”
After hesitating for a while, Noah Park finally confessed her feelings with a deep sigh.
“Whoa…. Erosion is now down to the 50th floor. And there is no one to stop it.”
Perhaps Riel was surprised to hear that, and he trembled from Drakhan’s hand.
“What did the heroes do until things got to that point?”
“At the beginning of this year, most of the power was dead. It is unknown whether it is a disaster or an attack from the noble Hector.”
The words Seo Ji-han had said came to mind automatically in Drakhan’s mind. Say you want to be an ally. It only made sense now.
‘That’s the situation, so he asked me to cooperate.’
Your ability to deal with erosion will help. Anyway, Drakhan shook his head.
“That is not the reason for your actions now. What is the real reason?”
“…to climb a tower, you need resistance to erosion. And villagers can live in the Nether even though they are not Awoken.”
“her. So you mean you sold the town to the tower?”
sold it
It was the words that stabbed Noah Park, who felt guilty about her decision. Noah Park had no choice but to raise her voice as a reaction against him.
“You sold it…. So what can be done to prevent erosion? After all, if it hits the ground, everyone will…”
Drakhan called out Park Noah’s name for the first time.
“It is a dangerous idea and a conclusion.”
There was silence for a moment. It was Noah Park who opened her mouth first, but that voice had no strength with her.
“Then tell me. What else is there other than this realistic method.”
“No, Noah Park. The decisions you make are not to be called realistic.”
Drakhan interrupted Noah Park and lifted Riel again.
“You just give up.”
The backstory did not follow. It was because the weapons started flying behind Drakhan’s back.
Wow! Drakhan turned his body and struck down all the flying weapons. He could not even rub his clothes, but the deflected weapons flew again and were returned to the man.
“I’m too tired to keep listening.”
Suddenly, a man approaching nearby muttered. Whether it meant that they could attack again at any time, the heads of the weapons were directed this way.
Erosion cannot approach because he is holding Noah Park’s ‘faith’. In the end, Drakhan had no choice but to solve it by force.
“Park Noah. last say Go back.”
“······that.”
Park Noah tried to say something, but eventually closed her mouth and bowed her head. She then alternated looking at the man and Drakhan, and she eventually turned her back on her.
Weak footsteps were heard from behind. Drakhan did not dare to catch Noah Park, who was leaving his position. It was just a matter of quickly knocking down the man and following him.
“after. I guess I’ll have to put an end to it quickly with you.”
“Five. that’s good I don’t like being bored either.”
A short conversation ended.
At the same time, a great vibration began to shake the ground.
The old tree had already been broken, and the evidence that a great battle had taken place was spread out in front of them. Castel, who was ready to immediately manifest the magic, murmured.
“It certainly wasn’t like this when I came here before.”
“Um, it seems to me that the Corrupted Hero has already fought the Top Powers.”
Oh Yoon-seong said, but it was Aiden who denied it.
“Aiden. Why do you think so?”
The reason Aiden asserted was simple. The reason was that there was no way that Drakhan would have left these traces to the wizards and fought. It was a sound that could be made because he knew the strength of Drakhan, but he couldn’t utter the reason.
Before Aiden could come up with any reason, Beatrice moved. Beatrice’s hand held a shield and a sword that had been taken out of subspace.
Beatrice glanced at the nearest pit and looked at it.
“I think the aspiring hero Aiden is right. All these traces were created by physical shock, not magic.”
“You mean physical shock?”
uhm. I listened to Beatrice’s words and fell into thoughts.
Drakhan is the only person with the power to leave a mark like this, but the problem here is who it is.
‘Park Noah?’
not. It was the first name that came to mind, but he immediately denied it.
Even if Park Noah had regained faith and boosted her abilities, there was no way she could fight Drakhan like this. It is because of the fighting style that Noah Park has, except for combat power.
Untitled Noah Park is the only magic that transforms and uses Arwell depending on the situation, except for body strengthening and [Enchant].
‘If you look at it, so is Drakhan.’
Although Drakhan had the power to create such a landscape, he too was untitled, changing weapons, and his only attack was erosion. He said there was no reason to fight while destroying the surroundings.
‘Then the opponent of Drakhan is the culprit.’
It was clear that not only the wizard, but also the warriors belonging to the tower had come. A person who can wage such a battle against a drakan stronger than the original.
‘that···.’
“Instructor! Get away!”
Then Yurin cried out urgently. I woke up and looked straight ahead. It was because Beatrice, a little further away from the group, was approaching dark erosion.
The Nether already has some level of erosion, but that’s because it’s a concentration enough to survive as an Awoken. If the thick erosion like now engulfed the Awoken, it would have been annihilated without even leaving a corpse.
Beatrice tried to retreat in haste, but it couldn’t be faster than the erosion. He reflexively ran towards Beatrice.
I heard Aiden’s worried voice, but it’s okay. He put the assault wolf in and reached out with his hand to the handle of the holy sword he had on his shoulder.
“Instructor. This way!”
“…aspiring hero of Jihan!”
When Beatrice reached out to her, she pulled her out and unleashed a holy sword. Whoa! The bright light cuts through the erosion while drawing a trajectory. The darkness that was about to engulf this side disappeared immediately.
[Haah!!!]
The spirit of the holy sword resounded in my mind. However, the Holy Sword, who came to her senses as if the situation was not serious, spoke normally.
[Seo Seo-han. Erosion is strange.]
As he said, the erosion of the Nether was fluctuating differently than usual. The impact of the battles taking place here was clear.
Goo! It was as if yellow sand was coming in like a wave. The biggest problem was approaching while besieging this place.
“Ahhh!!!”
Yurin’s voice echoed loudly from behind.
‘···I didn’t know how to write this like this.’
Before anything serious happened, he raised the mana to the arm holding the holy sword.
The moment the source of the attribute tries to manifest magic on the mana rod, it mixes with the sacred power of the holy sword.
“The aspiring hero…!”
“Do not worry.”
Because I’ve already thought about how to deal with it. I muttered as I looked at the blue-lined arm.
At that command, dozens of ghosts engulfed in divinity began to rise through the waves of erosion.
