Episode 166

Baek Sa-jun’s followers moved quickly.

Cerberus and Magnus took care of the special mutants, while Iria took care of the named legionnaires.

Meanwhile, Baek Sa-jun attracted the attention of his enemies.

“There are so many people coming.”

– Okay.

The enemies swarmed, targeting Baek Sa-jun.

Ultimately, they are undead. If you deal with the summoner, the necromancer, the undead will be destroyed as well.

Above all, Baek Sa-jun was the top priority. A target that had to be dealt with before the safe zone.

But achieving the goal was not easy.

– Khaaaaah!

– Kwaaang!

The Tyrant and his knights charged towards the oncoming enemies, initially blocking them.

And even if you avoid the tyrant.

[Stupid mutants… …!]

– Kieeeeek!

The dominated mutants blocked the enemy.

The mutants who stood in front and acted as meat shields. Baek Sa-jun was behind them, pouring magic on the mutants together with the skeleton warlocks.

“skeleton!”

– Kwaaaaah!

And the skeleton swung his sword wildly.

A fierce storm of blades swept through the enemy, slaughtering everything it touched.

But the number of enemies is still large.

[Mr. Baek Sa-jun! This side is roughly cleaned up! Be careful! There are enemies on that side… … !]

“I know, too.”

Even though a considerable number of enemies had been killed, more enemies were being replenished.

Most of them were legionnaires.

“There’s no end to it. What about the remnants of mutation?”

[I’m sending out the hunters now to collect the dropped items. Should I offer them up right away?]

“Uh. As much as possible.”

There is just one thing that is regrettable.

The reason is that I couldn’t raise the level of enough. It was because I had very little time and was too focused on hunting special mutants.

The current level of is 6.

‘It’s not enough. I need to add more here.’

It’s sufficient for defending the safe zone, but it’s still not enough to use it to attack enemies outside the safe zone.

Here you need to level up further to get the effects that come with reaching a certain level.

“And soon my followers will be heading to the safe zone. Offer them the evolution crystals and mutation remnants they give you right away.”

[Yes, I understand. Everyone, move! Send out the hordes and have them hunt down those around you!]

[No time! Hurry up!]

Since a large number of mutants were rushed to the safe zones, a lot of mutant remnants would have been dropped.

It might be possible if we combine what the retinue gathers while hunting special mutants.

‘The commander will definitely move.’

Will take action in some way.

Or, when he realizes that things aren’t going his way, he sends his legionnaires back.

In order to kill Baek Sa-jun for sure, either he would resort to extreme measures. One of the two.

‘If possible, the former would be better.’

I’m really sorry.

I didn’t think that would happen.

[Something… is coming.]

Gaiad’s whisper echoed in my head.

The moment he heard that whisper, he felt his skin go numb. Baek Sa-jun immediately raised his head.

Something is coming over there.

“You’re here.”

There were more than one or two things coming.

A large number of flying objects were approaching. They were all members of the Legion made of flying monsters.

Behind them, a particularly large flying object was visible.

– Krrrrrr… … .

Two pairs of black wings boasting an enormous size. And a black reptilian carapace thicker than armor covering its huge body.

A huge monster with two horns on its head was flying through the sky at an incredible speed.

Baek Sa-jun knew what it was.

[D, Dragon?]

[Am I seeing things right now?]

It was a dragon.

Unlike regular dragons, it was quite different in that its body was made of machinery and numerous modern weapons were attached to its entire body.

The monster’s form was clearly that of a dragon.

‘Individual name, dragon.’

That’s his name.

Of course, that’s not his real name.

‘Was it Le Wicken?’

A named member of the legion who had a brief setting in the original work. I think it was a hatchling who appeared in a side story in the past.

The commander who coveted the hatchling’s body killed it and transformed its body into that of a dragon.

‘A monster with such tremendous power.’

LeWicken is a hatchling after all.

They simply modified hatchlings that were not yet mature enough to become dragons, giving them the appearance of dragons.

It’s not that I made the dragon a member of the legion.

So, does that mean that Le Wicken is weak?

“Coming.”

Of course, that wasn’t it.

The eyes of Le Wicken, floating in the sky that no one could reach, were fixed on Baek Sa-jun.

Lenses of blinking eyes.

He recognized Baek Sa-jun’s existence.

[Object name, Dragon. Target found.]

LeWicken muttered dryly.

And as if responding to that, a loud noise erupted from the bastard’s body. Exactly where his ‘heart’ was.

A magical power that made Baek Sa-jun’s skin tingle on the ground far away with him occurred.

[We will focus on destroying the top priority target.]

“Get down! Blood Golem!”

– Kwaaaaaaaah!

A tremendous amount of magical power gathered at the corner of Le Wicken’s mouth.

And then, the magical power shot out in the form of a breath. The black flames that the bastard vomited surged forward.

Baek Sa-jun hurriedly summoned the Blood Golem, knelt down, and immediately unfurled the Command Wall.

– Whoosh whoosh!

– Kiaaaaah!

[The body, melting… … .]

It burned everything it touched.

And the flames did not discriminate between Pia and Baek Sa-jun. The mutants next to Baek Sa-jun and the legionnaires within the radius of the breath all melted away.

“Blood Golem! Protect me!”

Even Baek Sa-jun couldn’t endure it.

The Commander’s barrier was destroyed in an instant. Even though it used mutants and legionnaires as shields, it could not hold out for even a moment and was quickly destroyed.

– Khu, ohhhhhh… … !

Blood Golem blocked the breath attack that was breaking through the Command Barrier with his body.

He spread a using the surrounding blood and flesh, but that didn’t last long.

Blood Golem whose entire body is destroyed within seconds.

– All, all at once! All at once!

“Ugh! Skeleton!”

All that remained was the .

The skeleton, who had wrapped his own body and his master’s body as a shield, stepped forward and took the breath with his body.

“Hang in there!”

– Th, thud!

Just because you’re told to endure doesn’t mean you can endure.

It would have been like that before I came to Daejeon. No, it would have been like that even before I started hunting special mutants.

But now it was different.

-Whaaaaah!

The black flames that were blazing with the power to melt the Baek Sa-jun and Skeleton’s shield soon died down.

The defense barrier could not be broken through.

“If it’s not the monster’s shell, it’s pierced!”

– Hurry up!

It was thanks to special effects.

A special effect that greatly increases the strength and duration of the shield used by hunters.

The effect also applied to skeletons.

But there was no time to relax.

“Skeleton, jump!”

– Heeeeeeling!

Baek Sa-jun mounted the skeleton horse summoned by the skeleton and ran straight through the devastated streets.

– Geeeeelp… Kwaaaaang!

A number of lasers were shot at the place where Baek Sa-jun had been just a moment ago, and then exploded.

It was the power of the lasers fired by the modern weapons attached to Dragon and Leweeken’s entire body.

The laser tracked Baek Sa-jun.

‘Are you only after me?’

LeWicken didn’t care one bit about the safe zone or the other undead.

The same was true of the Gaiads and the spirits of the earth.

Only Baek Sa-jun is being tracked.

“Don’t stop, keep running, skeleton!”

– Shut up, shut up! Shut up, shut up… … !

The skeleton kicked the ground desperately.

The horse-riding skeleton seemed greatly embarrassed. And so was Baek Sa-jun.

‘I never thought you’d actually send Le Wicken.’

LeWicken is the commander’s secret weapon.

It was obtained a long time ago, and a huge amount of resources were poured into giving it the appearance of a dragon.

Because it was such a powerful and affectionate being, he always entrusted it with the role of protecting him.

To put it another way:

‘If we can just deal with that guy here, it’ll be that much easier to attack the Seed of Evolution.’

The commander of the legion mobilized all the remaining legion members here, except for those who would guard the Seed of Evolution.

The number of legion members will already be low, and if Leweken is destroyed there too… … .

‘The seed’s defenses will be weakened.’

The seeds of evolution are floating in the air.

Lewicken hovers around and guards the seeds, making him a very difficult target to deal with.

If we handle it here, things will become much easier.

And one more thing.

‘There is a corpse inside Le Wicken.’

The hatchling’s corpse.

Unlike regular legionnaires, hatchlings have body parts that are of great value.

Especially the heart. I know they put hatchling corpses in there to use them.

‘I don’t know if it will work, but if I can just turn that corpse into an undead.’

It will help create a new clan.

I’m not sure. It might work, it might not. Either way, there’s no reason not to try.

Because it is an opportunity to gain a powerful following.

– Shhh! Pfft!

– Kwaaaaang!

“Ugh!”

The skeleton horse ran quickly across the ground.

But that too had its limits. LeWicken calculated the speed of the skeleton horse, predicted the path it would take, and fired numerous shells.

The skeleton horse caught in the explosion was destroyed.

And the magic that follows.

[All, burn.]

Magic circles were deployed on both sides of Le Wicken.

A magic circle that had absorbed a huge amount of magical power was immediately formed, and numerous rocks appeared.

They were rocks surrounding black flames.

The rocks came crashing down onto the ground.

“I’m going crazy.”

Baek Sa-jun burst into laughter.

Watching the rocks covered in flames pour down was like watching a .

The LeWicken possessed powerful firepower from modern weapons, while also being able to use the superior magic that a dragon would generate.

It wasn’t a desperate measure for nothing.

[Isn’t this the time to be so impressed?]

– Kkwadkku!

Rocks pouring down towards Baek Sa-jun.

At that moment, several layers of barriers erupted from the ground. A violent explosion occurred as the rocks and barriers collided, sending debris flying in all directions.

It was with Gaiad’s help.

“Guard.”

[I never thought such a being would appear. Truly, such a pitiful being… … .]

The giant, Gaiad, looked at Lewyken.

There was a considerable amount of regret mixed in that gaze. The spirit king of the earth was a being closely connected to life. That was why he could feel it.

The soul trapped inside that mechanical body is crying out, unable to escape.

[You’re going to need my help.]

“Is that possible? I don’t think you have time.”

[Unfortunately, it is as you said. I can feel the piece I gave you losing its power. The more I exert my power, the faster it will disappear.]

LeWicken is a formidable opponent.

If Gaiad had come out as the main body, he could have won. However, Gaiad here was a clone, so the power he could exert was limited.

Fighting Le Wicken requires a lot of power to maintain the clone, so it disappears quickly.

‘If Gaiad disappears too quickly, things will get messed up.’

Gaiad and the spirits of the earth must remain as long as possible to deal with the mutants and legionnaires.

So what should we do?

[I myself… … .]

“No, it’s okay. I’ll handle it.”

[You won’t be able to deal with it with your current strength.]

“I guess so. Right now.”

Baek Sa-jun closed his eyes.

The remnants of evolution and mutations that had been sufficiently collected were heading to the safe zone.

It’s not possible now, but if the will to resist reaches a certain level, a method will arise.

[It looks like you have some faith.]

“Yes. But can you help me with just one thing? Can you knock that guy to the ground when I want?”

[If it’s something that drops, that’s enough.]

“That will be fine.”

Baek Sa-jun took a deep breath.

Beyond that, I could see the figure of Le Wicken. The figure of a dragon that was once again generating magic.

Fighting Lewicken is risky, but he’s worth the risk.

That’s why.

“Should I create a new clan?”

Baek Sa-jun committed fraud.
