Chapter 660 - V57C3P2 – Kayberns Rage (1/2)
V57C3P2 – Kaybern’s Rage
“Stop the dragon!”
Weed tossed Van Hawk into Kaybern’s mouth.
Despite being a high rank undead abyss knight, it remained impossible to face the dragon alone. But, there was an underlying trick.
– Pwack!
Kaybern spat out Van Hawk and howled in rage.
– How dare a lowly undead dirty my mouth!
The dragon despised the undead!
For the dragon, Death Knights and lowly skeletons were all equally unpleasant, even if it was just for an instant, the dragon was infuriated.
– I must… protect the master.
Van Hawk was ejected harshly onto the ground and lifted his sword n.o.bly.
The Death Knight stood firm against the ma.s.sive Black Dragon!
His old cloak was ripped in many places and fluttered anxiously in the wind; his helm and armor were imperfect but were bolstered by the strength of his will.
– Dark Fighting Spirit!
Van Hawk emitted a smoke-like fighting spirit and raised his attack power.
– Devastating Charge!
Splat!
The courageous Van Hawk was instantly recalled by the force of Kaybern’s stomp.
In that moment, Weed hung off the leg of Torido who had transformed into a bat and was able to escape the effects of the Glacial Cage.
– You will not get away!
Kaybern wrecked the ice pillars with its body and began the chase once again.
The ground was a slippery ice rink that Kaybern crushed completely beneath its heavy steps.
“Torido, I have a task for you.”
– Anything except for charging at the dragon. Say it, master.
“Do exactly that.”
– Just pull my fangs out instead.
“Yeah, I outta pull them out and toss you to the dragon.”
Torido quickly transformed back to vampire form.
– Blood Torrent!
– Insolent vampire… Chain Explosion!
He delayed Kaybern for about 2 seconds before being scorched to a crisp.
– You run pretty well for a dwarf rat! Explosion! Explosion! Explosion!
Weed’s path began to sink 30 meters down.
The buildings sank along with the ground!
It was like an obstacle course, but there was Kaybern close on his tail.
“Four-legged Srint!”
He s.h.i.+fted directions, leapt and travelled through the dimensional gate consecutively, causing confusion.
Kaybern, after seeing Weed escape like a slippery eel, used a guided fire magic spell.
– Flames, respond to my call. Burn down my enemy!
The aura of fire swept in from every direction and ignited Weed’s body.
“Aaaaagh!”
– Squirm more. You lowly dwarf!
“K-aaagh. Ahhhh!”
Weed kept his head forward and ran vigorously even with his body on fire.
< You are suffering from the purification of fire.
Health points decrease by 570 per second. >
‘This much is not too big a loss for me.’
He took very little fire damage due to the Goblet of Flames. He acted like he was in pain as he ran towards the Bingryeong Square.
His suffering seemed so real he could win an Oscar.
He became a living flame, tripping over his feet and even rolling on the ground. Still, he pa.s.sed through dimensional gates and ran consistently.
– Stop right there! Soul Shackles!
< Your soul was forcefully chained.
Movement speed is reduced by 85%.
Combat ability and health points are reduced the further you travel from the current position. >
He fell under a restraint spell with just 400 meters between him and the townsquare!
The effects of Glacial Cage had not worn off completely either.
Weed utilized the dimensional gate but his speed was slow as a turtle.
Swift Coldwind: Kaybern is closing in fast.
Through the rumbling of the earth, he felt the presence of Kaybern.
Morata’s concrete roads shattered like puzzle pieces and buildings were knocked down by the impact of the dragon’s body.
‘What to do… What if I use Time Sculpting?’
The battle against the dragon was only just beginning and he was already resorting to Time Sculpting
– I have you now!
A moment of hesitation allowed Kaybern to catch up to him.
The enormous dragon’s charge even on the ground was formidably quick.
Swift Coldwind: K-Kaybern is… You have to get away right now!
“This is a do or die now…”
As Weed turned his head to look behind him, Kaybern’s long jaws spread open like a flytrap and approached rapidly. The fangs were clearly visible, and the odor was disgusting.
Oberon: Weed-nim! It’s me!
That instant, the voice of heaven fell upon him.
Wooos.h.!.+
A steel spear sliced through the wind!
Oberon’s spear barely missed the dragon’s left eye and stuck into its face.
– Dwarf! A dwarf again!
Kaybern checked the wound on its face and fumed with rage.
The Hermes Guild members that were waiting in Bingryeong Square were all positioned on the building roofs.
“We’ll take it from here.”
Bard Ray’s words sounded like a pledge.
***
The Hermes Guild had joined together with the Arpen Empire.
Their pride as Royal Road’s most powerful warriors remained.
‘We fought against the entire continent and lost. That isn’t something just any guild can do.’
