Episode 209. Maestro Volcan of the Battlefield (16)
As soon as the wyvern that Volkan was riding began to flap its wings.
Phagecic-!
A bolt of lightning followed.
It was Adonis.
‘Do you think you’ll miss it?’
The reason why I talked to Volkan instead of attacking him while he was defenseless.
It was because of ‘information’.
If we capture a high-ranking warlock, we’ll be able to find out quite a bit of information.
Starting with how they received their powers, to the powers of the other Four Heavenly Kings, and their goals.
I was able to find out a lot of information.
‘I thought that since the strongest card called Crowley was gone, there would be no more hidden cards… …!’
Not only did he raise the bone dragon, he even ran away.
‘He’s no ordinary guy. I have to kill him here.’
Phagecic-!
Adonis landed on the tail of the wyvern and transformed into lightning once again.
The spear, which was thrown at the same speed it was flying at, struck the back of Volkan’s head.
It was so fast that Volcan couldn’t react. But… … .
Less-.
The spear blade that Adonis retrieved. At the end of it was just a hollow skull hanging from a branch.
Adonis, who had been through all kinds of hardships, could not help but stick out his tongue at this moment.
‘So the one who was talking to us from the beginning was a skeleton… …!’
Standing helplessly before Crowley’s collapsed skull.
The conversation that sounds like crying and the powerful mana contained within it.
It was only natural to think that the guy Adonis was chasing now was Volkan.
“… … !”
At that moment, Adonis’ senses detected a large amount of mana.
Adonis, who had turned around, could see.
Thump thump thump-!
Dozens of flying Bone Wyverns. And a single human figure riding on top of them.
‘Should I find the real one among them… …!’
Pitter-patter!
Golden lightning lit up the sky.
One, two, three, four, five, six.
“Tch!”
Adonis was able to successfully defeat only six of these wyverns.
All the people riding on it were skeletons.
‘It spreads out so beautifully in all directions.’
Even the greatest Adonis in the world could not fly if he had no place to set foot.
Now that the distance between the Wyverns had widened, further pursuit was impossible.
“… … That’s amazing.”
It was surprising that he had that much mana left in the latter half of the battle, but it was even more surprising that he kept the wyvern hidden until the end.
If those Wyverns had been sent into battle, the punitive force, except for Elester, Caron, Lucia, and myself, would have been annihilated long ago.
Volkan was even chased by Charon.
Even in such a situation, he managed to hide the Wyvern card so well, leaving room for escape.
‘Know your own worth.’
He is an enemy, but I have no choice but to acknowledge him.
He was a really great guy. But.
“It’s the same here.”
One of the Bone Wyverns flying in the opposite direction.
Adonis, sensing the presence of another ‘great guy’ there, immediately stamped his feet.
Snap!
Crowley’s bones cracked with a nice crunch.
Adonis, who had breathed mana into his hands, began to trim the bone.
Kagagak-!
“after!”
When Adonis blew air with his mouth, bone dust flew away.
Crowley’s bones had already turned into spears. It had not even taken ten seconds for this to happen.
‘Well, it’s hard to say that it’s a proper spear since the center of gravity was roughly determined… … .’
There was no problem with the throw. Adonis took up his stance immediately.
A stance for throwing a spear. It was a javelin-throwing stance.
‘Let’s draw attention to this side. The ending is… ‘
Tukwaang-!
“Caron, I’ll leave it to you.”
A spear made from Crowley’s bone.
The spear flew straight towards some bone wyvern.
Shhhhh!
“hmm?”
A sudden noise.
As Volkan turned his head, he could see something flying towards him.
‘bone?’
To be exact, it was a spear made of bone.
Since Volkan was an expert when it came to bones, he could tell from afar.
‘Adonis… … Did that unidentified kid throw it?’
There was no other way to describe it than as a monster.
Not only is the distance great, but it also means that the flight speed of this wyvern has been surpassed.
‘… … I’ll have to find out what it is when I get back.’
The window was flying, but Volkan did not respond.
Shhhhhhh!
About 10 meters away from where you are.
Because it was crossing the void.
‘No matter how much of a monster it is, there is bound to be a limit.’
One question is, how did he recognize the wyvern he was riding among all the wyverns he had ridden?
Volkan quickly shook the thought away.
Right now, taking a break was more important than anything else.
Even the mana that was as large as the ocean was on the verge of running out.
‘If this wyvern turns back into a bone, it’ll be a big problem. I have to get out of here as fast as possible. Huh… … ?’
At that moment, Volkan sensed something strange.
Something suddenly burst out of the wyvern’s bones, and then started running straight towards him.
The problem is that it happens behind your back, so you can’t see it with your own eyes.
Volkan took an evasive action and cast a skill.
“Bone Armor… …! Kwaak!”
As the Bone Armor began to wrap around him, he felt a warm sensation at the area of ??his left elbow.
Thud- thud- thud.
Crimson blood began to stain the wyvern.
Soon Volkan came into view.
His left arm fell to the ground. And.
“You cheeky bastard. You look quite the sight.”
The sight of Charon trampling on it.
“Ka, Charon!? How did you get here… …!”
Dozens of bone wyverns scattered in all directions.
But among them, he pinpointed his own position precisely.
Volkan couldn’t believe it.
“Your filthy stench vibrates. How could you not know?”
“Hey, don’t lie! I made them all smell the same!”
“… … What a perverted taste. I guess that ends here.”
The reason Charon was able to track Volcan.
This is because the tracking scent was embedded in the ‘Bone Armor’.
A handmade tracking incense made by Caron. The scent is so strong that only he can smell it, and it lasts a little over a year.
For Volkan, who was unaware of this fact, it was bound to be absurd.
Volkan wrapped his forearm tightly and started to stop the bleeding.
Kagagagagak! Kkakak!
A shrill sound was heard as the armor shattered as Charon saw it.
“You! Are you going to abandon your comrades? You really are the kind of person who sends rats to their deaths!”
“… … .”
Just before leaving, Volkan raised not only a bone dragon, but also a dragon of many kinds.
He also raised up those who were called knights in the past, the ‘Death Knights’. Twenty of them at that.
They didn’t target Eleister and Lucia.
They targeted the main force of the punitive force, which was nearing the bottom of its stamina and was carrying the wounded.
however.
“Follow me! You idiot! Because of this choice of yours, all those who were there will turn into skeletons. And you will fight for me!”
A comment made to criticize Caron’s poor strategic decision(?) and to provoke his anger, preventing him from making a rational decision.
After hearing Volkan’s words, Caron spoke calmly.
“Because I decided that it would be much more profitable to kill you.”
“… … What?”
“It means that your life is worth more than the lives of those guys over there.”
What Caron said was true.
Charon knew better than anyone how many lives Volkan would trample on.
That there will be countless of them.
“You can be happy that I have not spared my praise for you, my enemy. So… … .”
I will tear you to pieces and kill you with special care.
Die crying.
Kagagagagak-!!
Charon’s assault begins again.
Volkan had no choice but to wrap his head around it.
Not only was the durability of the armor low due to the previous battle, but the distance to Charon was also not that far.
Eventually, Volkan had no choice but to use one of his hidden numbers.
It was a power that could only be used once a year, but it was not the time to save it.
“Take away my enemy’s senses!”
In Volkan’s right hand he held a pitch-black magic stone.
It was a magic stone imbued with mysterious (divine?) power that could not be explained by theory or science.
From there, pitch-black light emerged and covered Charon’s entire body.
Sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch.
It was the power to temporarily take away the opponent’s five senses, the ‘Veil of Darkness’.
For a moment, Caron couldn’t help but be confused.
Because I couldn’t see it, hear it, or feel it.
It felt like I was floating in the darkness.
‘… … This is dangerous.’
Charon could immediately see the horror of this technique.
It didn’t matter whether his attacks worked or not.
The biggest problem was that it was impossible to respond when the opponent attempted to attack.
Charon bit his tongue lightly.
‘I don’t even feel any pain. When this technique’s duration ends, I might already be lying on the floor.’
He’s crawling on the floor, not even knowing that his limbs have been cut off.
If I’m dead, I’m dead. I didn’t want to look like that.
Especially in front of that guy who killed his subordinates.
‘I’m betting!’
The daggers held in both hands bulged with sword energy.
The last location of the volcano was checked.
Charon started to advance towards it, waving his hands frantically.
Whether you are swinging it correctly, what you are cutting, and whether your limbs are still attached properly.
There was nothing I could figure out. But.
‘You’re simultaneously defending and attacking from all directions, so even if you take some damage, you won’t die.’
It was just as Caron had thought.
Volkan couldn’t help but panic as he saw Charon approaching him.
‘It’s clear that the mysterious power has taken effect. But how… …!’
I made the bones of my bone armor sharper and attacked with my bone spear, but I couldn’t stop Charon’s advance.
In the end, Volkan had no choice but to choose a final operation.
That’s none other than that.
It was ‘escape’.
I called out to the Bone Wyvern that was gliding nearby and climbed onto it.
I didn’t even say goodbye to Caron.
Because now there was absolutely no means to protect oneself.
Volkan frowned, still holding his burning left arm.
“Caron… …Just wait and see.”
The day when he returns again.
“I will bring death to everything you hold dear, and to the Empire!”
The wyvern carrying Volkan flew far away.
* * *
Lucia and Eleister looked down at the dragon they had seen.
The current Bone Dragon was using its dragon power to get itself out from underground.
Because it was such a huge body, it wasn’t easy to even get it out.
but.
Heavy, massive bones. Wings of equal size.
Even more eye-catching is the ominous purple-black mana.
It was explosive and destructive.
So much so that Lucia’s body trembled slightly.
“… … I never thought I’d see a real dragon. During the Great War, was there really something like that?”
“If you read the history books, you would know. There were four dragons on the Human Alliance side as well. That guy had a bad temper and was hated by them too. Well, thanks to that, he was able to gain the upper hand in the fight against Crowley.”
Black Dragon Drakan joined the Legion Commander’s side, saying it would be fun.
Four dragons participated in the great war to stop him.
Without them, the human alliance might have been defeated in the fight against Crowley.
“They all died in that war… … Now there won’t be any dragons left to punish him.”
“yes.”
“That guy can’t fly, right? He doesn’t even have any flesh on his wings, let alone feathers.”
“It could be possible. Even the wyvern we just saw flew well.”
“… … That’s right. That’s right.”
Lucia is in trouble.
Aleste could easily understand her distress.
‘I guess he’s contemplating whether to retreat or fight the Bone Dragon.’
