Matan’s Shooter - Chapter 267
“What? Where did he go? Why did he just pass by, Chiyou?”
“Wait! I’m contacting him right now. Just wait a minute!”
When Alexander was distracted by the notice given to the elite of Fubiel and Granville, Ewin and Chiyo of Minis were also distracted.
‘That ignorant bastard! He should have come here first to listen to what we had to say!’
She was so flustered that a wrinkle appeared on Chiyou’s forehead for a while.
“Alexander! Come back now! Why did you go there first? Did you not hear what I said? Come back! All you have to do is slowly break the enemy’s front line!”
However, the whispers sounded hollow. Alexander did not answer.
‘If he kills the commander-in-chief, the war would be over. However, that wouldn’t be fun at all! It’s part of my plan, by my plan, for my plan!’
Chiyou bit her lips.
She was someone who was able to entice the fox of the prairie and carry out this grand operation from the start until now, a plan that was nothing short of a work of art.
Alexander literally became the brush for the “finishing touches” and had to finish the work!
As she managed to calm Ewin from leaving, Chiyou whispered to Alexander incessantly. Alexander was fortunate not to be able to block Chiyou.
“Alexander! I warn you again-“
“Shut up, bitch. Don’t ever say the cheeky word ‘warning’ to me and Balephus again.”
“Good. I understand, so come back. You haven’t forgotten your job, have you? Don’t you still have the [contract] with me?”
Chiyou knew how to properly hide her flusteredness. And she knew very well how to deal with people she couldn’t handle.
“Don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten. Because I came here to let them know-“
“So why are you telling them the information first that you didn’t even tell me properly!”
“This is the judgment of the Executioner of justice, Bailephus. It’s not a place for a spy like you to get in the way.”
‘Damned child! Just try to fail.’
Chiyou took a deep breath and cleared herself. She had been in touch with Alexander and thought she knew what kind of personality he had, but it didn’t change the fact that he was an annoying person.
“So when will you come back-“
“I will go now. Negotiations broke down.”
“Good, good. You should have done that earlier. I will talk to our Commander-in-Chief, so please come.”
Finally, Chiyou’s face relaxed. With a flowery smile, she reported to Ewin.
“Now get ready, commander.”
“Are you talking about the unity of mankind, Alexander?”
At the words of the man with his hat pressed down, everyone, including Alexander and Bailephus, turned their heads. Scratching his chin shyly, Kidd took a step forward.
“One justice that transcends national circumstances, one human that transcends nationality… It sounds like humans from all continents need to work together. Is that what you are talking about?”
“You are right. You’re the one with a soul pact with Luger.”
“Did that dragon tell you? Anyway, your story is more interesting than who I am. What do you want to say?”
“I can’t say anymore.”
Alexander shut his mouth. While Kidd was about to say something, Granville stepped forward.
“We can’t back down either. With a few of your unbelievable words, did you think this great army would back down? I heard that gold dragons are the wisest of all dragons, but does the dragon think so as well?”
The pupils of the gold dragon dilated and went back to normal again. Granville hesitated for a moment, but his spirit did not diminish at all.
“This war will not end unless you kill me, Alexander. Fibiel will never back down.”
Fibiel’s elites thought their commander-in-chief was provoking Alexander. However, Alexander had already said it. Even though he could kill him right away, Alexander did not kill Granville because ‘he is helpful to humanity’.
Did Granville think Alexander wouldn’t kill him? At least at this moment, it was true.
“I see, as expected. I get it. Negotiations broke down. I can end this war without killing you guys.”
“Do not underestimate Fibiel, you who ride a dragon.”
“What I want to say is-“
Flap- flap- flap-!
In line with Alexander’s words, the gold dragon Bailephus raised its altitude even further.
Even though the distance was getting wider, Alexander’s voice was clear and heavy.
“-Do not underestimate me, Fibiel’s commander-in-chief. I am the executor of justice, one who is willing to make some sacrifices for justice-“
Flap- flap- flap-!
The gold dragon soared into the sky and turned.
If he went back to Minis, the Fibiel’s elites would at least be able to catch a break while looking at the back of the gold dragon.
That was until Bailephus’ chest swelled.
“From now on, I will enforce justice.”
“Oh, ohh, Al- Alexander is breath-“
It was precisely the breath of the gold dragon, Bailephus, that Alexander was riding. However, for Fibiel’s normal users, who had just reached level 140 to 150, it didn’t matter.
What did the swollen golden dragon’s chest mean? Who was the gold dragon facing? Only that was important.
“Extra Shield!”
“Sylph! Wind Shield for our party-“
“Tree of Protection!”
The users gathered together as they cast hastily. Like a pie, shields on shields, skills on skills, and magic on magic were stacked.
Only the elites who were near Granville understood the current situation accurately.
“Dodge! Quickly!!”
“Teleport Scroll! We have to scroll!”
“You must dodge yourself! You can’t stay like that!”
There were more than 10 types of magic that were stacked on top of each other, but the elites’ faces were still turning blue. Should they use magic or not? Other users who thought that the shield was a safe place also gathered there!
“Damn it, Biyemi-nim! Can we go over there?”
“We can’t go! No, if we go, Guild Master-nim will be in danger!”
“And most importantly…”
Hearing Kijeong and Biyemi’s words, Tale’s expression sank. Although he had lived his whole life as a martial artist, Tale was honestly not sure what he could do in the face of an overwhelming power that transcends humans.
“It is late.”
Bwaaaaaaaa-
Bailephus’ breath, which could not be recognized as a flame breath except for the white flame at the center and border, tore through the air.
The breath that was sprayed on Lee Jiwon, in the state of “saving power,” was different from the gold dragon’s full-powered breath that tore through the ground. A breath that could only be used by a Dragon Knight that reached the max level together with an ancient-class dragon he is riding on.
Its light was so intense that it caught the eyes of all the 3 million users on the battlefield.
“Waah…”
“That’s a dragon’s breath…”
Even the users who hid behind the shield were mesmerized. It is said that beauty and strength coincided. At least for Fibiel’s current users, Bailephus’ breath was that.
It was extremely dazzling.
And then, they realized. Let alone 10, even if there were 20 to 30 layers of shield, ordinary magic could not stop it. No matter how strong a stone wall was built, it would melt into magma in the end.
One layer, two layers, and three layers, the users felt the heat as they were afraid it would break through.
Bowstrings broke, and the arrows caught fire. Clothes started to burn, and orbs started to melt away. Long-ranged dealers, wizards, and healers were rather lucky.
Tankers and melee dealers with hard armor and swords were weak to heat. The pain they felt was like someone threw their body into a steamer.
That was what users with less than 50% assimilation rate felt, but what about those who have turned off the combat assistance system and raised their assimilation rate?
They felt pain enough to cause nightmares.
“We are all going to die.”
“We are, aren’t we?”
The breath breaking through the shield no longer caused fear. It had an offensive power that made people resign to their fate as they could not do anything about it.
It was a natural disaster.
The 473 Fibiel users who had gathered and the land they were standing on melted in an instant.
