23. Dragon
It was very encouraging that Yuma was the first to step forward and wipe out the enemy.
This is because it gave Hestia and Clone time to prepare mentally and prepare their weapons.
Quaak!
Hestia stepped forward in her footsteps.
This time, Yuma was holding the sword she gave him, [Full Moon Cisetheria]. A red sword energy was engulfed in the sword.
Clone raised his staff.
A blue wall of force tore through the air and struck down.
The scarlet hair tied in a ponytail was flowing.
Hestia’s red sword energy spread out to the front. There were a total of 30 people approaching, so there was no need to target anyone accurately.
Quaaang!
The Count’s troops fell mercilessly.
And fortunately, unlike their zombie-like appearance, the troops who were lying down after receiving a critical hit rarely rose again.
‘I’ll have to ask Brigitte to supplement the staff.’

Once this is over, there will be a huge vacuum in the Count’s forces.
The slightest conscience remaining in Yuma’s heart raised her head.
“Father! Father!”
Yuma turned her head to the back where she could hear her desperately crying out for her father.
Kaisen shook the shoulders of Count Rubelt, who was slumped in his chair. But Count Rubelt’s pale-faced eyes showed no sign of opening.
Kaisen raised her head and looked at Yuma staring at her.
“…I will find a medical professional to treat my father.”
“Okay, first find a safe place and stay still.”
A heavy voice came from next to Kaisen.
“I will take care of you, Young master.”
It was the knight commander Hyman.
Kaisen smiled slightly as he looked at the strong old knight.
“Thank you.”
Heiman was a man who had stepped into the realm of master.
Heiman’s inclination was toward the good.
At that rate, there seemed to be no need to worry about the next earl’s safety. Yuma walked outside the castle accompanied by Clone and Hestia.
Quaaa!
As soon as he came outside, what disturbed Yuma’s ears was heavy drinking. In my field of vision, I could see red-hot flames exploding in succession.
After the explosion, gray thick smoke spread like a cloud.
Ssssseu…
The cloud-like gray smoke cleared and a living creature appeared.
It was a creature that appeared to be about 100 meters long.
The sunlight shining down on Yuma felt like it was burning more today.
A black creature was gliding in the sky.
Flutter
Huge wings unfolded.
Kugugugugugugu!!
The tremendous spirit tore the air apart.
No one could question the identity of the being that appeared before their eyes.
There weren’t many creatures in this world that could display such majesty.
A body larger than the Count’s castle.
Black dragon leather.
Eyes as bright red as blood.
It is .
A great being. A being closest to God that cannot be surpassed by the human species.
[Lv.421]
Elcam─Acreon
Over 400 levels.
It was on a different level from the numbers that had been released so far.
Yuma cleared her mind.
‘As expected, it’s the same as Loop Blood this time.’
The first thing that caught my eye was his name.
Elcam.
The surname Elkam was the surname used by the ‘Black Dragon’ in , A game that Yuma enjoyed as a ‘don’t hesitate’.
That said, there was a high probability that the background setting of the black dragon in front of me would be similar. Was this world preceded, or, according to the game director, was it preceded by , Which can be seen as the predecessor to this world? Now I wasn’t even sure about that.
“Insects.”
The black dragon opened his mouth. He just opened his mouth and spoke, but there was a wave that seemed to distort the air.
The predator’s eyes were shiny.
“You will have to pay for daring to interfere with the pleasures of this body.”
I just open my mouth and spit out words.
Dragon fear was contained in every word he spoke.
Yuma was unaffected by the dragon fear.
-A noble being does not collapse.
-After all, you are the most precious person on this earth.
-Do not give in to external pressure.
Because of the nature of self-esteem that pierces the sky.
Unlike him, Clone and Hestia were curled up and their whole bodies were shaking.
A being closest to God.
It was quite natural to tremble in fear in front of such a dragon.
It was not a hatchling, but a dragon that looked like it had been a long time since it had fully grown.
But one man, despite the black dragon’s ferocious spirit. She was just staring at the world with her boring blue eyes, as always.
‘As expected, Yuma-sama….’
Clone’s eyes imprinted Yuma standing alone on the ground.
The huge black dragon swam her floating body over the head of Yuma, who was standing unharmed.
Yuma opened her mouth, staring at the dragon that was giving off a vicious spirit.
People were far away. Since a being called a dragon appeared, it was a natural step.
“Dragon, what is your name?”
I already knew it from the navigation guide, but the best way to start a conversation was to ask for their name.
“…A low thing. Do you dare ask this body’s birth name? Yes, I will tell you. Elkam—Arreon, that is my great birth name.”
Acreon continued.
“I had been sleeping for about 300 years. When I opened my eyes, the power I had built up so far was scattered. So, to build up that power again, I built a nest in Rubelt. In a huge cave. Very “I slowly recovered my strength by chewing on the fresh lives of the county, whoever you are. You are too late.”
The black dragon Arc Leon suddenly confessed all of his evil deeds and began emitting black magical energy from his huge body.
“Because all of his strength has been restored. Elkam—Arreon, who has lived for these six thousand years!!”
Kugugugugugugugugu!!
The earth shook.
“aaah! Oh, Dragon God. Great Being, let go of your anger!”
“Release your anger!”
The knights and people of the county knelt and fell flat on the ground. The cries of struggling to survive only came from them, and did not even reach Acreon.
Yuma slowly opened her mouth again.
“Acreon, let’s ask and answer. If you answer the questions I ask, I will give you the answers to what you want.”
The long and ferocious maw of the black dragon Acreon was twisted.
“A mortal is going to ask and answer questions with me? That’s absurd…!”
Gray snort puffed out from her nostrils.
He literally snorted.
“El Cadel. Don’t you want to get there?”
El Cadel.
Arreon’s eyes widened at the appearance of that name.
“…A human being. How do you know about Elkadel?”
Elkadel, it was the sacred place of the legendary black dragon. A sanctuary of Seonseol where it is said that the first Lord of the Black Dragon is still alive.
“If you answer the questions I ask, I will tell you where Elkadel is.”
Dark lifeless liquid was scattered from Acreon’s body.
The concentration of murderous intent was so thick that it made it impossible for humans to even breathe.
“It’s okay to be arrogant. Ask what you’re curious about. However, if you’re talking nonsense, I’ll burn your limbs right away. Without a trace!!”
Yuma nodded her head slowly.
“Have you ever heard of the Blue-Haired Sword Saint? Or some tribe like that.”
Arc Leon widened her eyes.
A strange look appeared in Yuma’s eyes. Are you finding clues this quickly?
Acreon’s maw opened. And she blinked at the enemy.
“I don’t know how I could know such a person. The sword saint with blue hair…? A tribe with blue hair? Did something like that happen while I was sleeping?”
As expected.
There is no way things could be resolved this easily. Yuma clicked her tongue inside her.
“Demons who can engrave inscriptions. Do you know where they are?”
Yuma took out her second business.
“You mean the Engraved Tribe? Of course they are in the demon world. They are demons. As far as I know, they were included in Bergette’s domain.”
Yuma nodded her head slowly.
This is not a bad harvest. Because she definitely found out that the imprint tribe that can carve Exists.
‘… ‘Magyeong, Bergette’s domain.’
Just as Yuma finished organizing her thoughts, Arch Leon opened her mouth wide.
“Now it’s your turn to tell me where Elkadel is, human.”
Yuma answered without hesitation.
“I don’t know.”
I really don’t know.
Elkadel was only mentioned in , But there was no detailed mention of whether it was real or not until the end.
Elkam—Arreon’s huge jaw trembled.
“You barbaric mortal bastard!!”
Quarrr!!
Dozens of red thunder flags waved in the sky.
It wasn’t exactly brain power. All dragons’ ultimate skill, , Was condensed into Acreon’s mouth.
***
A woman with orange hair was lying down on the floor, looking ahead of her.
‘Why suddenly a dragon appears… !’
Ymir was a mercenary with ties to Yuma.
It was a fairly one-sided relationship.
A mercenary who received a request from Count Venosetian and saw Yuma’s power with his own eyes in front of the 1st Princess Brigitte’s castle.
That was Ymir, the mercenary king’s disciple.
‘I told you that I wouldn’t take on any requests involving this person…’ !’
-Mushin Yuma, having seen him in person, I think it would be a good idea for you to go again this time. You haven’t even been caught yet. This time, it is a request from the 1st Prince. There is absolutely no intention to harm him. He wants me to just watch him and record his moves and let him know.
Damn Master, the voice of the Mercenary King came to mind.
The author was simply afraid of Mushin Yuma and tried to avoid her requests.
But now, the object of fear has suddenly changed.
Because of the appearance of an unexpected being, the Black Dragon.
‘No matter how much this person, Yuma the God of War, there is no way he could defeat the dragon. How can you defeat a dragon like that that must have lived for at least 5,000 years?’
A great being, a dragon.
One dragon was enough to destroy a nation.
With the dragon in front of me right now, I could easily wipe out the kingdom.
“…Ymir, it looks like you also came to collect information about the author. It looks like you will die here on good terms. In that breath.”
The red thunderstorm gathered around the mouth of the Black Dragon Acreon, distorting the very air.
Ymir turned her head to the side and looked at the two people next to her.
From noble mtl dot com
“Are you from the Information Guild?”
A man and a woman wearing black robes nodded to her in a friendly manner.
“Yes, I have been put in full charge of the author. He has become the Empire’s most important person of interest, but… I didn’t know that he would be killed by the dragon’s breath, not because he was found out by the author.”
Musin (武神).
That is just a human title.
Even if he is a martial god, he is only a person who has surpassed human limitations.
Dragon.
Not even a hatchling. There is no being that can defeat a fully grown dragon like that.
Unless a legendary warrior or a legendary archmage falls from the sky.
The eyes of the three people were focused on only one person.
They headed towards Yuma, who had gathered them here.
And I didn’t expect him to win. I just wanted to witness death.
***
Quarrr!!
The dragon’s ultimate skill that can annihilate a nation has been completed. A technology of annihilation with a catastrophic and destructive power more overwhelming than that of blazing lava.
“For the sin of daring to mock a great being, turn to ashes and repent!! Mortal!!”
Black Dragon, Elkam—Acreon’s mouth widened.
The body of the black dragon, which was gliding with its huge wings flapping, was pushed backwards.
The totality of the dragon energy condensed by Acreon. Due to the recoil of that energy pouring out, the dragon’s body, whose durability was stronger than that of any living creature, was pushed away!
aaan
It was a red flash.
A huge flash that will blow away not only the Count’s castle, but also the mountains behind the castle at once.
The flash cannon of destruction is heading towards Yuma, no. It crashed down towards the very ground Yuma was standing on.
Red dragon breath spewed out from Acreon’s maw.
Yuma thought while watching that.
‘It is impossible with the teeth of the black dragon Bernac.’
The blade area of [Black Dragon Bernak’s Tooth], A short sword, was too narrow to hit the central black air current, which appears to be the ‘parrying point’ of .
Sereung─
A sword was pulled out from the subspace pocket of the sword god Kronos.
It was [Axion], Cronus’ favorite disease that he personally fought with.
I held Axion with both hands.
And swung. Only towards the black air current that exists at the center of the dragon’s breath.
You only get one chance.
If you fail, only inevitable death awaits you.
There is only one thing to believe in.
Paring.
The innate sense of parrying that one possesses.
Swing.
Ka──ang
The golden circular impact has blossomed. Like a golden flower.
The flash of destruction that was hitting the earth was distorted. No, it went backwards.
A red flash aimed at the ground. The dragon’s ultimate skill, Dragon Breath. It was bent at a right angle and reversed.
“…Oh my, this is ridiculous!!”
Those were Elkam-Arreon’s last words.
In the red-hot sight of Acreon. It was covered in an even more intense red.
Extinction.
A black dragon nearly 100 meters long disappeared in the air.
The dragon’s breath, which reflected 10 times the original attack power, did not leave behind even bones and ashes, let alone Acreon’s corpse.
The clouds were split on both sides. This was the place where the dragon’s breath pierced the sky.
The people of the County of Roosevelt knelt down and watched the scene in a daze.
Mercenary King’s disciple, Mercenary Ymir, opened his mouth wide.
A drop of saliva fell.
“…Dragon Slayer.”
The man and woman from the information guild sitting down next to her let out a laugh.
“Dragon Slayer.”
