Dungeon Maker - Chapter 140
Moreover, it didn’t lose everything. It had a terribly wicked energy, and it regained something else because it rose again from death.
Its defense ability was weakened, but its durability became stronger. It could continue to fight in the battle despite injuries that a living being couldn’t endure, just like Skull.
Hundreds of soldiers of the Free City evaporated in an instant. It didn’t take too long for the remaining troops to be completely destroyed.
There was no time. Embrio was looking this way even at the moment the Bone Dragon’s Breath Weapon hit the ground.
“Kaiwan!” Yong-ho called.
Kaiwan rolled her eyes at his somewhat tense voice. There was a bit of fear and a lot of pride to hide it in her ferocious eyes.
Yong-ho said, “It’s my wish. Detain Embrio.”
Yong-ho spoke shortly, but what he meant was clear. After a brief pause, Kaiwan smiled bitterly. Although he stood in the midst of close to one thousand enemies, facing the terrifying posture of Bone Dragon and Embrio, Yong-ho shouted proudly, “Okay, if you do well, I’ll grant you one more wish. And grant my wish, too!”
This wasn’t the time for anybody to smile. But Kaiwan spoke cheerfully with an effort.
Yong-ho also responded with a bitter smile, “Don’t you think you are using your right to grant wishes too often?”
“Because it’s worth it.”
She stopped saying anything further then stared at Embrio instead of Yong-ho.
She wore a fierce smile befitting her ferocious gaze.
“Defense is my specialty. I’ll stick it out. But come back to me quickly. Honestly, I think this is going to be rather tough for me.”
The moment she finished talking, the battlefield frozen by Bone Dragon Dragon began to move again.
Bone Dragon spread its wings and hit the ground. Eligos and Ophelia resumed fighting. Shouts, screams, and cries filled the battlefield.
Embrio moved forward. Fully opening her four horns, Kaiwan stepped forward. She showed her back, not her face, to Yong-ho.
Yong-ho also turned around. Instead of watching Kaiwan, he hugged her waist, and Catalina understood what she was supposed to do. Catalina hugged him face to face and spread her wings of black mana.
Their attack was simultaneous.
Bone Dragon finally screamed and soared into the sky. By wielding the whip sword, Kaiwan recklessly slaughtered the enemy soldiers located between her and Embrio. Tigrius raised his head, and Eligos and Ophelia shared their intention through their eyes. They broke through Embrio’s forces to move toward Kaiwan.
Catalina flew. And the traces of red flames were added to the black traces in the sky.
Flying over while burning the remnants of the flames, Salami carried Yong-ho and Catalina on its back again.
Yong-ho looked down at the ground for the last time. Skull and Death Knight were fighting against each other. Eligos and Ophelia almost reached Kaiwan. Kaiwan attacked Embrio and his soldiers recklessly as if to attract their attention deliberately.
Embrio didn’t counterattack Kaiwan. He stepped forward and stopped. He looked at Yong-ho.
Embrio’s eyes were cold. And Yong-ho knew it. Although he didn’t know why, Yong-ho realized that Embrio also took an adventure. Despite the fact that he was in a very favorable situation, Embrio exerted all his powers.
Yong-ho was right. For Embrio, Bone Dragon was a secret weapon that he didn’t want to use until the last moment. Embrio already revealed the Death Knight. If Bone Dragon was added to this, it would definitely attract others’ attention too much. Perhaps, some among the kings might feel suspicious about Embrio’s tactics. The Death Knight and Bone Dragon were too powerful for a housemaster in the southern area to own.
Nevertheless, Embrio revealed Bone Dragon. He knew from his sense, sharpened through numerous battles, that he did the right thing.
He couldn’t afford to hide it now, for he knew that this was a fight in which he had to kill Yong-ho by mounting a massive attack from the beginning.
Embrio and Yong-ho turned away from each other. Grabbing the handle on Salami’s back, Yong-ho clenched his teeth. He released mana as if not to be outpowered by Bone Dragon’s massive body that blocked his vision.
Embrio took another step and stared at Kaiwan, now attacking him magnificently like a mantis in front of a wagon. He combined the mana released at random for a proper combat posture.
Bone Dragon roared. Facing its dreadful roaring right before its eyes, Salami screamed grotesquely. Salami spread the wings of the flames wide and soared higher into the sky.
Yong-ho thought that he could not hope for Kaiwan’s support when she was in an overwhelmingly unfavorable situation like now. So, he had to defeat Bone Dragon by joining hands with Catalina alone.
Salami twisted its body with a wild scream. Despite its huge wings, Bone Dragon was fast.
Bone Dragon’s molars penetrated the space where Salami stayed until a moment ago.
The sound of its teeth meshing each other was already horrible. But Yong-ho couldn’t afford to be distracted by it. So, he ordered, and Salami flew again, screaming. Rather than increasing its distance with Bone Dragon, Salami got rather closer to it then penetrated into its neck!
At that moment, the blade of black mana created by Catalina with all her might hit Bone Dragon’s neck. But that was it. Her attack left a small scratch on its bone, but it was not broken.
Despite the attack, Bone Dragon kept its place. Rather, Catalina was almost thrown out by Bone Dragon’s repulsive force.
In the meantime, Yong-ho concentrated his consciousness and checked the mana flowing in the body of Bone Dragon. It was a huge flame. Crimson flames of mana covered the entire body of Bone Dragon. The flames were so strong that he couldn’t spot any weaknesses.
Bang!
Bone Dragon once again bit the air. This time, it didn’t stop there and released mana.
Although it lost mana after becoming an undead, Bone Dragon didn’t lose the operational skills on mana. Several lumps of mana condensed in a circle raced toward Yong-ho.
“Salami!”
“Kahhhhhhhhh!”
Giving out a screech, Salami spread its wings. In a desperate aerobatic flight, it changed its direction in the air then flew toward Bone Dragon’s back once again. Yong-ho swung Aamon and poured the green flames on the back of Bone Dragon.
Bone Dragon roared. The unique energy of death of the undead was added to one of Bone Dragon’s innate abilities, the Dragon Pier. It was a terrifying force that deprived the will of life, like the energy of death that Baphomet released.
Although Catalina hastily combined the black mana to create a huge shield, it wasn’t a physical attack on Bone Dragon. Salami, exposed to the energy of death, momentarily lost consciousness. Yong-ho endured it by clenching his teeth and ordered Catalina in heart.
He swung Aamon once again and burned anything around Bone Dragon to disturb its vision.
Catalina lowered her posture while falling down. She buried himself on Yong-ho’s back and put her arms on Salami’s back. After releasing black mana and binding her around Salami’s body, she spread huge wings behind its back.
“Kuuuuuuuk!”
Screaming strangely, Catalina barely flapped her wings and flew again before crashing down on the ground.
Bang!
There was a big explosion again. Moreover, the ground exploded this time. The explosion occurred because Bone Dragon, with its vision blocked by the waves of the green flames, fired Dragon Breath recklessly toward the ground.
The energy of death spread in all directions. Some of Embrio’s soldiers disappeared along with the ground.
Salami finally regained consciousness and flapped its wings again. Catalina breathed out roughly and withdrew the wings of black mana.
They couldn’t fight this way any longer. Basically, it exhausted Yong-ho and his dungeon spirits. So, he needed something else to deal a fatal blow to Embrio.
“Salami!” Shouted Yong-ho.
At that moment, Salami repressed the desire to run away once more. At the command of its master, it concentrated all the power on the wings of the flames. Forgetting even Bone Dragon, Salami soared into the sky.
Bone Dragon and Salami crossed each other. In that short moment, Yong-ho saw Bone Dragon once again. The mana of death flared up like flames.
The mana of death.
The energy of death.
Yong-ho realized. He encouraged Salami even more. While rising almost vertically, he grabbed Aamon. He concentrated mana on the magic field on his left hand.
Bone Dragon was definitely strong. Its physical strength was superior to Baphomet’s.
However, it was different when it came to the energy of death. Unlike Baphomet, the incarnation of death that descended in the alien world, Bone Dragon was just an undead. Its physical force was incredible thanks to its powerful mana, it was essentially inferior to Baphomet.
So, Yong-ho thought he could defeat Bone Dragon and he had to.
The red demonic sky. Salami rotated in a place high enough to make everything on the ground seem so small. It turned its head to the ground and stared at Bone Dragon located hundreds of meters below.
Kaaaaaah!!”
The wings of flames flared up in the air. Salami descended vertically. Yong-ho put Aamon on his side. Yong-ho and Catalina shined brightly at the same time, and a tremendous black mana covered the magic spear of the red lotus. It really created a huge spear.
Lance charging was pouring vertically.
Bone Dragon saw it. As soon as Salami turned in the air and opened its mouth, Bone Dragon opened its mouth and let out Dragon Breath!
It was different from before. It wasn’t a single shot. Like the breath of flames of red dragons, the energy of death continued to come out.
But Salami didn’t avoid it. It accelerated its speed by screaming wildly. The huge spear made of black mana and Breath Weapon clashed in the air. And at that moment, Yong-ho’s magic field as well as the Godly Energy of the King of Greed sent out blue watery light!
The force of life. The power of the Immortal Witch Scathach covered the spear of black mana.
The life-empowered huge spear penetrated the Breath Weapon full of the energy of death from the front. It was a collision of tremendous power.
The tip of the spear was shaken randomly. The Breath Weapon was shaken by the power of life, which could be called its complete opposite.
But it was not strong enough. It couldn’t penetrate the Breath Weapon.
Rather than trampling on the energy of death, the energy of life gradually began to be eaten away.
Scathach once told Yong-ho that he needed to pay the corresponding price to bring out his Godly Energy.
Yong-ho could do it when he fought Baphomet. The power of his intense greed was so huge that even the magic spear of the red lotus admired it.
But he didn’t now. His mana was insufficient. He couldn’t bring out the force of life from his Godly Energy.
But he clenched his teeth and exerted all his power to bring out mana. If he were pushed out for a moment, he would perish here. Rather than penetrating the Breath Weapon, he would be crushed by the energy of death.
He needed to be greedy now, so he could bring out the mana of greed. He had to pump up the will to live. Can he do it?
“I like you!”
