Light Dragon Hunt (3)
It was around the time when he had just begun digging into Gwangryong’s body.
Harley realized that the task was much more difficult than expected.
Being unable to breathe for a long time was no problem for him, but this hostile space itself was a huge challenge.
Good luck!
Withstanding the pressure of the muscles tightening him from all directions, he made fun of his mouth and moved forward without a break.
If you stop eating even for a moment, you will be pushed out.
‘I was guessing that suppressing regenerative power wasn’t everything, but isn’t this a bit too much?’
In the part that Harley had directly bitten, the recovery rate was extremely slow and a gap could be created, but the situation was different for other parts.
When it becomes difficult to directly regenerate the damaged area, isn’t it trying to fill the void by proliferating and pushing out the intact area like cancer cells?
This was possible because it was already a light dragon that could not be considered a normal living thing.
Of course, the speed was slower than normal regeneration, so I was able to eat the flesh with “Gluttony” and move forward little by little…
‘Does it make sense to inflate and change your body like this with common sense? The laws of physics where did you go, the laws of physics!’
Harley grunted inwardly and continued to dig with her large mouth and serrated teeth, which she had deformed at will.
His body, which was over 3 meters tall, was also compressed to the maximum for easy excavation and fell out slim.
That moment when he moved his body diligently, pouring out shameless dissatisfaction.
Kugugung—!
A shock wave he doesn’t know how many times already shook his body.
The high-density magic wave directly expressed from Gwangryong’s body is trying to crush Harley’s whole body with strong murderous intent.
pudding! soo much
The situation was different from when I had been out there before.
This time, the source is in all directions surrounding him, and of course, the distance is not just close enough.
The terrible pressure that was poured indiscriminately to the extent that the target was not covered and the surrounding space was also necrotic, was not enough to turn him into a handful of blood.
At that light dragon’s will to rule out intruders at any cost, Harley…
Oddly!
He was just making fun of his mouth and recovering his body.
‘You know it’s no use. I’m not persistent either.’
It was a much stronger attack than the one he had suffered outside, but the degree of damage he suffered was not much different from that time.
In other words, it is said to be a minor injury that can be recovered at any time.
The cause was his changed appearance, to be exact, his skin.
‘Gwangryong’s scales are more effective than I thought. The resistance to magic is beyond imagination.’
His mutated mouth and hook-like claws were the same as before, but in addition, dark red scales covered his whole body.
I can’t even call myself a human anymore.
Thanks to ingesting a large amount of scales before entering, they were more complete than when they were first made.
‘If it wasn’t for this, I think I would have had to give up without going on for very long.’
Thanks to the rapid increase in defense with Gwangryong’s scales, he was able to come this far with minor damage, such as smashed bones, ruptured blood vessels, and crushed internal organs.
Without it, the recovery rate could not keep up with the rate of destruction, and in the end, it would have had no choice but to cancel the summons in a moribund state.
‘not now but.’
The efficiency of 「Gluttony」 has increased, making it possible to supply energy faster, but above all else, it is now possible to directly absorb its ‘regenerative power’.
With only dragon meat, which is the best food for health, this kind of injury could have been shaken off in no time!
As Harley moved her jaw hard, his body, which had been exposed to hostile magic for a long time, was quickly restored.
How many times has the destruction and regeneration been repeated?
It has finally reached a certain threshold.
《The object’s resilience has exceeded its limits. The skill “Regeneration” evolves into the skill “Super Regeneration.”
After constantly stealing Gwangryong’s ‘regenerative power’, Harley’s regenerative power has also grown by one level.
‘Oh- good. I expected it to be like this, but finally!’
The effect of “Super Regeneration” was immediately felt in the body.
The flesh was still tightening from all directions, and the magic wave continued to the point where it felt desperate.
His body recovered much faster than before, which soon led to an increase in work efficiency.
Duck- Duck!
It’s a pity that he couldn’t express his joy with a cool smile because he was diligently continuing his eating behavior.
And the good things didn’t end there—.
‘…Finally, it has arrived!’
Finally, Harley was able to face him.
pounding—! pounding—!
The wildly pulsating ‘Heart of the Light Dragon’.
In fact, it only took a long time because of his desperate interruption, but the distance he traveled was not that long.
Because it took less than 10 minutes.
‘That’s it.’
Harley looked at the heart of a dragon the size of her upper body… to be precise, the crystal fused to one side and radiating a faint red light.
That’s the source of the dragon’s power, and it’s even called the best manastone.
It was a dragon heart.
By the way···.
‘I roughly expected it, but I can’t use that as a medium.’
In fact, he hadn’t decided for sure how to deal with the Dragon Heart.
Although the scale has been tilted towards using it for Harley’s growth, the new avatar that will be created through it is also very attractive.
But as soon as we met him and confirmed it with his own eyes, he knew immediately.
‘···The skill is not responding. Is it the problem of being contaminated by the madness of the abyss?’
This Light Dragon’s Dragon Heart cannot be used as a sacrifice for “Customization”.
‘The magic inside is completely entangled with madness and has changed. This is not a Dragon Heart, but a completely different… independent ‘monster of madness’.’
There was some kind of harmony, and the madness that dwelled in his whole body was connected as if the roots had spread around it.
It was a much more advanced method that I had never seen in the monsters I had been through so far.
‘…is it really centrally controlling the madness of the whole body through the heart?’
Should I call it a dragon?
Even in a state engulfed in madness, he devised his own means to use it effectively.
Unlike the monsters that just spread like mist all over their body, this way, you will be able to put your madness in the right place.
‘Oh, this looks pretty useful, doesn’t it?’
And that wasn’t bad news for Harley either.
Wouldn’t it all be yours anyway?
Harley, who smiled wildly, crawled towards her heart and reached out her hand slowly.
Thump-! Thump-!
As if he sensed a crisis, his heart started beating even harder.
At the same time, terrible magic and madness mixed together and erupted like a storm.
“Khahaha! You’re picky once in a while! Be quiet and become one with this body!”
He opened his mouth wide, ignoring the load on his body, and bit the degenerated dragon heart in one bite.
and at the same time.
The ‘madness’ that spread throughout the light dragon Heratos…
It was gradually torn out as if uprooted by “Gluttony”.
***
[Ahhhh——!]
Koo-!
Gwangryong’s body, which had been struggling while recovering from the fatal wound on his neck, stopped in an instant and fell to the floor.
Not to mention the reason.
It was only natural that Harley had invaded his body and ate his heart.
He did not die instantly because of the strong vitality of the original body, but his life was already like a lamp in front of the wind.
And next to that neutralized light dragon.
“Ho-oh…. Is this now?”
Heinz, who suddenly appeared without a sound, lit up his eyes as he watched the man wriggling.
The madness contained in its body was controlled by a connection to the heart, and now Harley was sucking the madness through it.
Like digging a sweet potato stalk… No, like drinking long noodles.
👌👌👌👌👌
As Heinz’s hand swung lightly, Gwangryong, who could not resist, was decapitated and blood splattered again.
Defensively weaker than before, a deeper wound had occurred than expected.
“The ability to regenerate has also decreased. Quite a bit too.”
But that wasn’t the point now.
I have a problem that needs to be checked urgently.
Heinz carefully smeared the dragon blood on his outstretched fingertips and brought it to his mouth.
“Hmm.”
And after a while, a smile of satisfaction slowly formed on his lips.
Satisfied with the supreme dragon blood, long fangs protruded from his mouth.
‘I need a link with Harley, but that’s not a big deal.’
The purified blood that Heinz drank contained the meticulous consideration of Harley, who was controlling the madness at the heart of it.
A hand was used to filter the blood going to the wound in the neck several times to supply as clean blood as possible.
Of course, even with such efforts, it was impossible to completely eliminate the madness…
“Hey.”
Heinz, who had already gone beyond the true blood, was just an impurity that could be easily filtered out.
[Ahhhh-!]
Then, a dying voice resounds low.
Now, the dragon Heratos, who had escaped from madness, took a deep breath and moved only his eyes to scan the surroundings.
[Why did I… and the Immortal King resurrected…? There you guys are…]
It seems that he has not lost his memories while being engulfed in madness, and the current situation seems to be confusing, and the dragon is gibberish.
Even to the last question that appeared just before the flame of life was extinguished, Heinz did not answer the question, and put his teeth into the wound on the nape of his neck.
‘It’s been a long time since I’ve tried to eat.’
The blood he had saved was also consumed, so he was going to devour it to his stomach.
As far as blood is concerned, no physical limitations meant anything to him.
[Ahh···. The Immortal King… is back. What should the world do now…]
The words of Heratus, who had been muttering to himself, gradually subsided.
He felt sorry for him as he was facing death, but he still had no intention of answering.
‘It’s better to keep your mouth shut, because information can leak out without you knowing.’
maybe you don’t know
A person you thought was dead could be resurrected with a different body, reincarnated, or returned to the past.
[···The Immortal King···.]
In the midst of such thoughts, Heratus’ gaze floated above the sky and turned to Hans, who looked down quietly.
The red dragon, who sent his eyes filled with complex emotions…
His eyes still stared at Hans, and he died quietly.
‘Are you worried about the Immortal King? There seems to be a lot of things.’

Just like when I first met Hans, considering the relationship between the previous Immortal Kings and Dragons, it wasn’t something I couldn’t understand.
‘Still, the immortal king of this generation has no intention of destroying the world, so please sleep peacefully.’
Rather, I want you to know that you are working hard to save the world.
If he hadn’t been here this time, wouldn’t Gwangryong have grown into a disaster on another continent?
[Khhhh, surely it is the effect of madness, the bones are very weak. This will be a good ingredient.]
So, even if you use some of your bones, don’t be too upset.
‘Oh, there’s blood, horns, and scales…’
In any case, he will fully understand it, as it will be used for a good cause.
***
“Whoa—.”
Harley curled up with her eyes closed.
His whole body heated up, and white steam spurted out nonstop.
The muscles swelled and repeated the stem, and the sound of bones twisting and flesh being ripped could be heard over and over again.
It was different from the evolution we had done so far.
Simply accepting the dragon’s genes would have been a great burden on the body, but it was natural to absorb the madness that was taken from the whole Gwangryong.
It was trying to swallow Harley just like it did when it ate a dragon, far beyond the amount it had grown while catching the twin-headed ogre.
‘It’s too much to control. ···I must use the method that was engraved on the dragon heart.’
He weave out strands of madness that filled his body.

Just as Gwangryong controlled madness by spreading its roots all over his body, Harley meticulously laid a circuit through which madness would pass through his body.
And finally.

pudding! Dude!
Shhhh-!
The evolution of the body that has already been experienced several times.
In line with the change, the quality of the elements that make up the Harley, such as muscles and bones…
“ha-.”
As he slowly opened his eyes, red and green eyelights burst out of the darkness, illuminating the surroundings.
The pupils of the two sharply split eyes looked around quietly.
The place where the dragon, who had lived for a long time, died.
Inside the dragon’s body, a new dragon finally awakened.
