Episode 201. It doesn’t seem to exist, but it exists (3)
This is why you shouldn’t blindly buy the equipment that celebrities use.
“Eww!”
“Wha, what kind of power is this… …!”
“Oh my god! It’s getting harder to catch him now that he’s glowing!”
The green dragon continued to attack despite the hunters’ strong resistance.
thud!
The blade snaps with a loud noise.
thud!
When the sound was heard again, the Hunter’s arm was bent backwards as he had lifted his shield half a beat too late.
“Ttaak!”
One of the stumps that had been spending its time leisurely suddenly becomes confused.
And then, suddenly, someone’s calm voice flows into the chaotic noise.
“…what.”
Even though it was just one word, the other person’s words had a strange way of capturing people’s hearing.
Perhaps it is because his pronunciation and tone of voice are so distinctively clear.
“Did the Green Dragon have such a belligerent pattern?”
It was the appearance of Kim Ki-ryeo.
Also standing behind him was Korea’s number one ranked player, preparing to use flame magic.
***
A few minutes later.
“Thank you, thank you for saving my life… … .”
“Ah, as expected, S-class hunters are different. They took care of that in one breath.”
I shamelessly accepted people’s thanks on the spot, even though I hadn’t even caught the dragon myself.
This is because Ha-seong was busy checking on the safety of the hunters around him.
By the way, you went so far as to prevent secondary damage from S-class, so why did you come here all of a sudden?
“But the fact that Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo has come… … .”
“Yes. I’m on my way back after clearing out all the dragons in the southern part of the dungeon. Now all that’s left are the leader’s group.”
As you can see, there was a reason for this.
We had promised to first tear down the enemies as much as possible before entering the dungeon, and then rejoin after the boss fight.
I originally had decent tracking skills.
This plan was possible because the Korean Tower’s strategy team included a searcher with high search ability.
“Then, should we finish eating and get going quickly?”
“yes!”
“Please wait a moment!”
So we set off towards the north of the dungeon where the dungeon’s master resides.
‘Let’s see, the leader of the green dragon… … .’
According to the information I heard from Choi Jin, in this world, the boss of the dragon species is unconditionally called ‘King’.
Green Dragon King, Black Dragon King, etc.
This means that the nomenclature for a specific entity has already been systematized.
And these kings of dragons have similar characteristics to the point where it could almost be said to be a must.
First is its huge size.
The second is a special organ attached to their head, like a chicken’s comb.
But unlike just a red, prominent chicken crest, their special organ looks quite ‘crown’-like at first glance.
‘So that’s why they call me king?’
Regardless of its form, there is a large amount of mana stored in that organ, so destroying it first will bring many advantages. In any case, it wouldn’t hurt to remember its weaknesses.
“Oh, everyone. Stop. Stop.”
Sigh.
I gathered my thoughts and raised my fist to convey my message to the group.
“There’s a boss up front.”
At this, the hunters of the Korean Tower began to swallow dry saliva.
Although it was still invisible due to its transparent state, the mere presence of the pinnacle of A-class dragons in front of it gave off a considerable sense of pressure.
The breath emitted by the green dragon is very acidic, so if you get hit directly… … .
“eww.”
I was in a lot of pain before I could get a potion to cure it.
‘That’s why I said inferior Earthlings are no good.’
I looked back at the hunters groaning as they reminisced about the pain they had suffered before.
And then he clicked his tongue inwardly and looked straight ahead again.
A strangely entangled thornbush, as if its body had grown overlapping from the beginning, and a gigantic reptile quietly crouching within it.
“hmm.”
I felt this in Japan too, but the leader of the dragon clan is so tall that the expression “as tall as a house” is fitting.
If his body size is that big, how many kilograms does he weigh, and how much mana is flowing in his bloodstream?
“Okay, then let’s do it according to the plan we originally planned.”
Still, I didn’t have to worry.
Because I had no part in the operation we planned from outside.
There are solid ‘real’ S-class hunters here, so what’s the point of suffering with a bunch of lower-level thugs?

“Jeong Ha-seong.”
“yes.”
As I gave the signal to call their names, the hunters retreated hesitantly from Ha-seong’s side.
At the same time, external mana began to gather fiercely into the body of a certain sorcerer.
The top-tier S-rank hunters absorb the mana around them and quickly realize their aspirations.
We.
These so-called wizards have always been beings who pray to nature for something.
‘According to the technology name registered in Pixie, this is [Hellfire]… … .’
Soon, the pyromancer’s attack extends towards the dragon.
The flames that Jeong Ha-seong released at full power without any consideration of the consequences.
So what would the firepower of this be?
The red ripples literally boiled the dungeon floor like a river flowing through hell, and soon enough, it swallowed up the tree nest containing the dragon.
“Kuaaaaaaah!”
Hurrruk!
The Green Dragon King reflexively spreads his wings in response to the surprisingly rough preemptive strike.
But the hunters’ attacks don’t stop there. We were just waiting for it to lift that thin layer of film.
“Now!”
“Right! Focus on the right, no matter what!”
Kwakwakwang!
As soon as the elite hunters of the Korean Tower saw the dragon’s appearance, they fired their skills at its wings.
I’m already embarrassed with my whole body on fire, what the hell is this?
“Kaaaaaaah!”
The green-bodied King of the Sky fails to make a single attempt and falls ungracefully. Flight failed.
The dragon’s right wing was tattered and had a hole in it.
However, since the green dragon rarely uses its breath in the air, what you really need to pay attention to is the ground battle that will take place from now on.
“Grrrrr… … .”
“Cock!”
“Kaaaaaaah!”
Boom. Boom. Boom!
Soon, the little ones guarding the nest also rise up one by one and recognize their enemy.
The eerie tension created by the heterogeneous being called a dragon.
But the outcome of this fight will ultimately turn out as expected.
Because in this place, the Archmage of Alphauri… … .
‘under.’
…because he has a disciple whom he has raised with great care.
“Then shall we take a look at your skills?”
I stepped back and said to Ha-seong.
Then the young hero nodded and drew his sword.
A red longsword that serves only a sturdy purpose for him.
But an S-class hunter was able to cut off the head of a myth with just this simple weapon.
“I will do my best.”
Jeong Ha-seong left those few polite words behind and leaped towards the King of Monsters.
What unfolds is a scene of dragon hunting by Korea’s top awakened people.
***
Knock, knock… … .
The sound of a bonfire crackling is something you might only hear at a campsite on an autumn night.
“Ouch, it’s spicy.”
After a long time.
I watched from afar as the Green Dragon King, reduced to rags, fell.
The moment it made contact with the floor, a dull thud came, and the dragon hunt finally came to an end.
-Sparkle.
As always, rewards for defeating bosses were given to those with the highest merits.
“Ahem. Big.”
But now, the smoke keeps coming into my prayers, whether it’s compensation or Nabal, and I’m dying.
‘Holding your breath only lasts for a day or two. As expected, Jeong Ha-seong can’t be manipulated carelessly like Kang Chang-ho.’
I covered my nose and mouth with my hands and looked around.
As the hunt ended, some of the Korean Tower headed to the exit to call the transporters waiting outside.
And this side also wasn’t in a situation where they were waiting to maintain the dungeon. They just had to roughly organize the loot and leave.
‘Let’s see, first of all, the results obtained from Jeong Ha-seong’s side… … .’
I worked so hard at spoon hunting, but the only reward I got from the regular monsters was this [Compass of Greed].
Of course, it was rare for mobs to be given out as spheres of light as a reward for subduing them, so in a way, it was a natural result.
But on the other hand, I feel bad about getting something so disappointing.
The identity of this palm-sized jewel, called the [Compass of Greed], was an item that revealed the location of a nearby treasure chest… … .
Unfortunately, this body was capable of tracking artifacts on its own without any help.
‘At best, it’s a market trip.’
So what’s left is the reward from the Green Dragon King that we just got.
I still checked the sphere, which was twinkling and showing off its presence next to me.
When the boss hunt was well underway.
I threw my main weapon, Hydra, into the dragon’s back and used it as a chin strap to the top ranker with a status greater than poison.
However, even though it was a reward that I had worked so hard to obtain, I didn’t have high expectations. The magic power density flowing out of it was at best rare~unique level.
Even without seeing it with your own eyes, you can tell it’s a piece of crap…
【Dragon’s Lung】
… … .
“… … .”
Stop.
I once again observed the magic tool in the air, immersed in the halo of light.
A cluster of beautiful alveolar cells nestled serenely within a translucent little bead.
Red, blue, bright.
At the same time, it is a kind of delicate structure that closely resembles the lungs of a living creature.
“-Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo.”
I quietly put the given subjugation reward into the item box.
At this time, Jeong Ha-seong, who had finished his strategy, was approaching me with a strangely familiar face, but the conversation didn’t last very long.
“Hey, I tried fighting by compressing the fire as you said, and the Class A units really didn’t take any damage… … .”
“Ha Seong-ah.”
“yes.”
“I just realized this, but I think I left the gas on at home.”
“yes?”
“So, you take care of the magic stone and the leather. I’ll distribute it to you later. Then, I’ll go now. Enjoy your dinner.”
In a jiffy.
After finishing my speech at a rapid pace, I left the dungeon faster than ever.
.
.
.
The fortunes and misfortunes of life cannot be predicted arbitrarily.
In some ways, this seems like a perfect fit for the old saying, “A blessing in disguise can come from a curse.”
Dragon’s lungs… … . Lungs.
The new lungs I’ve been dreaming of are finally in my hands.
No, really, even if this is what I was aiming for when I went hunting.
Are you really saying that this will just fall into your hands?
“Ugh… … .”
The corners of the mouth slightly go up.
This time, I didn’t even have time to control my facial muscles separately.
I feel like screaming and rolling around right now, but this is an old studio apartment with poor soundproofing, so to be honest, I’m holding back as much as I can.
“Heh heh heh.”
Ahh──
It’s been a really long wait.
[Changes in 2.0.00]
●Removal of respiratory organ penalty
Let me get straight to the point and reveal the results.
I restored the lung’s magical power exchange function, which was failing, with the power of a magical tool called [Dragon’s Lung].
Now I’ve casted several spells.
No, in fact, I was able to perform a number of magic spells that were incomparable to that of an F-class sorcerer on Earth.
Only now can I truly be called a ‘wizard’.
‘I bought the Blue Shell for nothing.’
Moreover, in your current physical condition, you can use body swapping without any additional stimulants.
Now, all you have to do is find a suitable vessel and gradually upgrade to a higher grade.
“in the end!”
By the way, I had already noticed this with [Dragon’s Heart] shown by Brooklyn and Choi Jin. This dragon’s organ was not in the form of a complete replacement for the previous organ, contrary to expectations.
Roughly speaking, it feels like strong cells are being added between the previous organs, like a tumor moving between them.
‘I was somewhat looking forward to the Dragon Breath function, but it seems like it will be difficult to utilize it because the lung damage in this body is too severe.’
It seems that these living tissues could be removed one by one if one were to be so inclined.
That’s good news. That means that even if you change bodies, you can always recycle your dragon lungs.
Okay, so now that the range of magic we can use has greatly expanded, what should we try first?
‘Saving the body isn’t something that can be done right away anyway… … .’
After some thought, I decided to prioritize creating a dummy to fool Kang Chang-ho.
Body swapping, as befitting advanced magic, required a large space to draw a medium-sized magic circle, and even if there were no such conditions, I didn’t have the confidence to bring the body I would acquire later to Kim Ki-ryeo’s one-room without being caught by his many eyes.
A place to perform the ritual, how to hide the body, how to disguise the movement, other alibis, etc.
‘As we live, days like this come too!’
Hahahaha!
Clearly, all the things that came to my mind were bloody topics, but my skin kept making a bright expression in contrast to them.
Aaahhh, I hope he stays as Kim Kiryeo!
