Chapter 109 (1/2)

Kiyaa—!

Rumble, rumble—

Ouroboros let out an extremely loud roar that hurt Se-hyeun’s eardrums. He covered his ear with one hand and spoke to Miru, who was on his head.

“Miru, go inside the subspace for a moment.”

At Su-hyeun’s words, Miru spread his wings as if he was waiting for that command and went inside the subspace. It seemed like Miru was frightened by Ouroboros quite a bit.

‘Well, Miru is still a baby, even if he is quite big,’ Su-hyeun thought.

Miru was not even half a year old yet. The demonic beasts were opponents of the divine beasts. Since Ouroboros was a top-level demonic beast, it was understandable that Miru got scared by him. Su-hyeun was proud that Miru even tried to be brave by not crying out.

Se-hyeun used his powers to utilize various skills like the Indomitable body, Doppelganger, Flame: Phoenix, and transfiguration skill.

Caw, caw—!

Dozens of small birds appeared around Su-hyeun. They were birds made of blue flames. His eyes changed to blue as well, and he stood in the middle of the birds with his eyes shining.

‘I should not take this fight lightly.’

Swish—

‘Here I go.’

Caw, caw—!

Dozens of birds flew toward Ouroboros. In the center of them, Su-hyeun leaped in the air a couple of times and swung his sword at Ouroboros’ scales.

Slash—

Kiyaa—

The scales were very thick and hard. Even though the sword was covered with Su-hyeun’s magic, no cut was made on the beast’s body. After he stabbed the sword deep into the beast, he quickly jumped away from the creature.

Swoosh—

Ouroboros’ tail smashed down and missed where Su-hyeun landed by a hair’s breadth.

Ka-boom—!

One side of the shore collapsed, and seawater flowed over it. A strong gust of wind formed when the beast lifted its tail. Su-hyeun staggered widely but jumped up through the air once more.

Swish, swish—

Slash—

Su-hyeun swung his sword, with the Flame skill applied to it, a few more times. However, the beast’s scales were ridiculously hard, so he could not deal much damage to the creature. Since Ouroboros was very big, Se-hyeun could only inflict small stab wounds, no matter how many times he cut the creature. Even then, it was challenging to inflict those types of injuries.

‘I have to cut this beast more deeply,’ Su-hyeun thought.

Stab, stab—

Su-hyeun continued to wield his sword.

‘I will cut this beast at once!’

Rumble—

Su-hyeun concentrated his magic on the sword. He rushed his sword toward the wounds that he had been making on the scales of Ouroboros.

Rip—!

He made quite a deep wound this time. Blood splattered out of Ouroboros, but the creature didn’t even scream in pain. This wound seemed to be nothing more than just a small scratch to the beast.

Soon after he had made the wound to the beast, a huge shadow fell over Su-hyeun’s head. He quickly moved his body before his brain could even process what was happening.

Swoosh—

Ka-boom—!

The thick tail hit the surface of the sea. Seawater splashed up.

Gulp—

Su-hyeun nervously swallowed as he observed the power of the tail that passed right in front of his eyes.

‘One hit from that tail could kill me at once,’ he thought.

He thought Ouroboros would be slow since he was massive, but he was actually quite agile. The creature didn’t seem to have magical powers, but its strength came from its large size. Not to mention, the rigidity of the scales on its body made it difficult to wound the creature. Su-hyeun could count all the monsters he had seen in his life on the fingers of one of his hands. However, none of them were like this beast.

‘A small wound.’

Su-hyeun’s eyes focused on one place.

‘Let’s try again.’

Swish—

Su-hyeun quickly jumped towards Ouroboros again.

Whoosh—!

Boom—!

Su-hyeun could hear the tail ripping into the air. Again, Ouroboros’ tail missed Su-hyeun as he quickly disappeared from where he was.

Hiss, hiss—

Ouroboros looked around and flicked its tongue out. Su-hyeun could move quicker than the beast since he was smaller in size. He climbed on the back of Ouroboros and ran up the creature before it could notice what he was doing. Su-hyeun was holding a long spear instead of the sword this time. It was the Dragon Slaying Spear.

Su-hyeun grabbed the spear tightly and aimed the weapon at the wound in front of him. It was the wound that he had been deepening with stabs previously.

‘One, two.’

Whoosh—

The blue Flame skill wrapped around the spear.

‘Three!’

At that moment, Su-hyeun’s body bounced forward.

Boom—!

Su-hyeun threw the spear with all his might. The Dragon Slaying Spear flew precisely and quickly toward the wound on Ouroboros. However, somehow the spear was maintaining its original state. This was a weapon that was supposed to fragmentize as soon as the user threw it.

Rumble, rumble—

The rumbling sound came from the Dragon Slaying Spear. It trembled as if something restrained it.

Su-hyeun muttered to the spear, “Please hold on a little more.”

Whoosh—

Ouroboros moved its tail again. At that moment, the spear flew into the wound and stayed there.

Kiyaa—!

Ouroboros screamed out for the first time. The Dragon Slaying Spear shattered into thousands of pieces inside of the wound. For the giant Ouroboros, the Dragon Slaying Spear was just a small thorn. However, it was a different story when it turned into thousands of pieces.

Whooosh—
