Chapter 52 (2/2)

“I can’t help the building…,” Su-hyeun thought.

The building was empty anyway. Near here, there were no civilians except awakeners. And awakeners would protect their bodies by themselves. Su-hyeun put Gram back into the scabbard and pulled the spear from his back. It was the spear that he had specially prepared for this day.

[Dragon Slaying Spear – Nir.]

It was an item that is made by mimicking a mythical spear Gungnir. He could buy it from the store. It was quite expensive. It was a weapon that could give overwhelming additional damage to reptilian monsters. To the monster like Igolas, this spear would be more harmful than Gram.

“Although there is a limit that, I can use this only once.”

Su-hyeun grabbed the spear with one hand and largely bowed his body like a bow.

Swish—!

The breath of Igolas came closer. Su-hyeun could faintly see Igolas through the breath. He aimed spear to its body.

“One, two, three.”

He counted number in his head as his habit. And—

Boom—!

The spear flew and torn Igolas’s breath. At the same time, the tip of the spear split and scattered into hundreds and thousands of thin pieces.

Whoosh—

At a time, the magic in the spear began to fire. The blue flame covered the spear, the pieces became countless spears and beat the body of Igolas.

Boom, boom, boom—

Wham—!

Kiyaaaaaa—!

Igolas screamed out. Su-hyeun frowned at the loud crying that sounded as if it would tear his eardrums.

But the effect was useful. It was worthwhile to pay a high price.

“It is too bad that it is just a one-time use item,” Su-hyeun thought.

He could use it only once, but if it was this powerful, it would not be bad to buy more just in case. The time for the Leap skill reset. When Igolas was in a panic, Su-hyeun flew up again.

Swish—

Soon, Su-hyeun arrived above the clouds and looked down Igolas. It was still suffering and could not see Su-hyeun. He gulped air.

Boom—!

Shortly after, he used the last Leap skill and ran into the top of the Igolas’s body. Su-hyeun, who got on the body of Igolas, grabbed Gram and started to cut his body.

Rip, rip—!

Whack, whaaack—!

The thick scales were cut in small pieces. It was too thick to cut deep in the first try, but he was able to cut the minor wounds quickly.

“More, more.”

Hack, slash—

Igolas struggled from the sword of Su-hyeun. It screamed out in pain, swung its wings, and breathed out to resist. The giant wing and tail of Igolas almost grazed the tip of Su-hyeun’s nose. One attack from Igolas had enough power to destroy Su-hyeun’s body.

“A little more!”

Riiiip—

Kiyaaa—!

He put Gram into the deep of Igolas’s back and drew it down. The blood spilled out like a fountain. Igolas let out a scream louder than before. At that moment, Su-hyeun’s eyes sparkled.

“Now!”

Whooosh—!

The blood fountain that spouted out fell towards Su-hyeun. It moved as if it were a living thing, tried to pierce Su-hyeun like a sharp awl.

Whoosh—!

Crackle, crackle—

As Su-hyeun’s gesture, the flame burst from the below. That flame blocked the awls of the harden blood of Igolas and burn those.

“I was looking forward to seeing you.”

Su-hyeun looked at Igolas’s wound he just made with his sword Gram. From the wound, that spilled blood like the fountain before, the blood came out slowly once more.

Rumble, rumble—

The dark blood gathered together and started to make a form like a human. The man who had an elaborately shaped dragon face turned his head from side to side and stared at Su-hyeun.

“Who are you…?”

Igolas asked in wonder. He had been looking down at the ground from behind the clouds for hours. He also had seen Su-hyeun was fighting with other people. But somehow, he teamed up with other people now and fought against him. Su-hyeun acted as if he knew their existence beforehand. He could not help but ask. However, instead of answering, Su-hyeun told a completely different story.

“Are you… Happy to live like that?”

“What?”

Igolas asked back at Su-hyeun’s question like building castles in the air.

“What the hell is talking about,” Igolas thought.

At Su-hyeun’s words, Igolas’s face contorted. He felt like he could remember something.

“Hey, you, half demonic dragon. You who tried to kill this monster now became one with it and run amuck. Remember. You… Are not a demonic dragon.”

The being in front of Su-hyeun was Igolas but not Igolas. He was…

“The knight of the half demonic dragon, Falcon.”

He was a misfortune knight who decided to assimilate with the half demonic dragon Igolas to stop it. He had been united with Igolas and fought against it for a long, long time. And while that, he lost the initiative of the body, and he became like this.

“I… I…”

The eyes of Falcon made with dark blood started to have a focus. But the focus that spackled once quickly disappeared. And at that moment, Su-hyeun raised his sword again.

“Well, if you don’t remember, it can’t be helped,” Su-hyeun said.

He did not expect much in the first place.

“I will make you remember.”
