The Regressed Mercenary’s Machinations Chapter 624

Episode 624 I’m going to run away. (1)

Kuuuuung!

The ground shook with the impact of Arterion’s landing. His huge tail flew towards Parniel and Fiote in an instant.

Parniel gritted his teeth and prayed. The shield unfolded before them, emitting a dazzling light. Fiote poured all his strength into Parniel.

Without a moment to breathe, Arterion’s tail swept across the ground again.

Kwaaaaaaaang!

Parniel’s body was thrown back, but thanks to the shield created by the two people’s divine powers, he barely managed to avoid serious injury.

In that split second, all the superhumans clung to the gigantic Arterion’s body and attacked simultaneously.

Paaaaak!

Hundreds of Belinda’s daggers rained down like meteors. Arterion descended to the ground so she could join in the attack.

Hundreds of daggers grazed Arterion’s scales, leaving scars.

However, Arterion paid no attention to the attacks of others and only pressured Parniel and Piote.

The two men continued to be pushed back, unable to protect their other colleagues.

Fortunately, Parniel’s defense was the best among the group. With the addition of Fiote’s power, he was able to withstand Arterion’s fierce attack.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Parniel and Piote held on somehow while retreating. The more they did so, the more wounds there were on Arterion’s body as he was attacked.

Jiselle, who was mercilessly cutting down the huge target, squinted her eyes.

‘Are you planning to interfere with my recovery from the start?’

If Parniel and Piote fall behind, it will be impossible to tell which side will have the advantage in a long battle. This side will be incapacitated if they are hit even once.

If it works, it’s definitely a good method, but if Parniel and Fiote focus only on defense like they are doing now, Arterion will take more damage.

‘Something seems strange.’

Push… … Push… … .

Meanwhile, magic continued to appear and disappear around Arterion.

‘What are you aiming for?’

You probably already know that magic is useless. And if you want to use magic, it’s better to attack the fortress where the wizards are hiding.

If you attack the fortresses one by one and reduce the number of wizards, you will eventually be able to use magic.

Of course, Arterion won’t let him do that either. The wizards will also be on the defensive. By the time he can use his magic freely, Arterion will be a corpse.

Kwaang Kwaang! Kwaang!

In an instant, Arterion’s body was covered in wounds, as he ignored the attacks of others.

At that moment, Arterion suddenly snapped his long neck and shot towards Belinda.

Kaaaaah!

He opened his huge mouth and tried to swallow Belinda in one gulp.

If you get eaten, all your divine powers and all that are gone. Maybe that was the best way.

grasp!

Belinda turned into darkness for a moment and dispersed.

However, Arterion’s senses were excellent. He quickly found where Belinda was hiding and quickly turned his head to chase after her.

Get it! Get it! Get it!

Belinda had to turn into darkness several times to move. Arterion was relentless in his pursuit of her.

If the party hadn’t kept attacking, they might have really been eaten.

Scratch!

However, when Yulien’s sword cut through the area where the Dragon’s Heart was located, Arterion eventually had no choice but to pull away.

Instead, Arterion swung his claws without letting go of Yulien who had come close.

Kwaaaaang!

Julian was thrown back, but his body was already enveloped in divine power.

Arterion tried to chase after Yulien, but he had already recovered and swung his sword. The party also took advantage of the gap and attacked Arterion.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The fight between the superhumans and Arterion continued again. It was no different from when they fought in the air.

No, it was more disadvantageous for Arterion now, since even Belinda was joining the attack.

Arterion aimed at Parniel and Fiote again. Magic still appeared and disappeared around him repeatedly.

Hurrruk!

Even if they succeeded, it would only be a small fireball. Those here would disappear in an instant if they were to be lightly slashed.

Giselle’s doubts also grew stronger as Arterion’s unpredictable actions grew.

‘What on earth are you aiming at?’

Parniel, Fiote, Belinda, and the magicians. These three were the axis that maintained the current state. So it was expected that Arterion would target one of the three.

But what they were doing was strange. They were fighting in a chaotic manner.

I couldn’t just ignore it because it was crazy. The opponent was a dragon that won the great war a thousand years ago. Rather, it would be more accustomed to combat than this.

Even in the midst of such haphazard fighting, if someone got even a little close, they would launch a fatal attack.

If Arterion’s power had been just a little stronger than it is now, or if there had been no divine protection on this side, the battle would have ended long ago.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Both sides launched powerful attacks without taking care of their own bodies. The party was all hit by Arterion several times and bounced back.

Everyone was only concerned with avoiding instant death. They didn’t care if they were destroyed somewhere.

Because Parniel and Piote were really pouring divine powers like crazy.

This fight will not end until both of their divine powers are depleted.

Krrrrrr… … .

Arterion continued to let out unpleasant voices.

The wounds on his body continued to accumulate. Since he could not use magic, he was unable to recover properly.

Although Arterion was obviously stronger and more threatening, as time went on, the battle was becoming more and more advantageous for Giselle.

If things continue like this, Arterion will eventually collapse from exhaustion.

However, Giselle’s condition was not comfortable either. No matter how strong the divine power of the two was, it could not last indefinitely.

Jiselle gritted her teeth.

‘We must defeat it before all of its divine power is consumed.’

Meanwhile, Arterion continued to use magic that failed, wasting his magical power.

It would have been better if it had been like that. The more I did that, the more I would have lost strength.

Jiselle shouted loudly.

“Push harder!”

When the divine power of Parniel and Piote remains, you should attack more aggressively while avoiding instant death. You should inflict greater wounds to quickly incapacitate them.

Only then can we achieve complete victory.

Boom! Kwung! Boom!

Indeed, Arterion also began to retreat, as if the accumulated wounds were burdensome.

Perhaps because it thought there was no answer on the ground, it flapped its wings again and rose little by little into the air.

In fact, if you can’t use magic, just floating this huge body consumes a lot of stamina.

But if you’re on the ground, you’ll take more damage. Your opponent’s movements will also be more free.

So Arterion had no choice but to fly into the sky.

Choaaaak!

Belinda threw daggers into the air. Supermen leaped up onto the silver steps that had been created in an instant.

Kwaaaaah!

At that moment, Arterion unleashed a massive burst of magical power. He poured in an amount equivalent to half of his magical power to create magic.

Jerome was astonished by the unprecedented power.

“crazy!”

Since the magic wasn’t implemented properly, the opponent tried to break through the magic field with force.

Jerome also drew on his magic power to counter him.

It’s better. If you use that much magic power, you’ll get tired and weaker faster. Just somehow get rid of that.

Kuuuung!

A huge magical force that no one had ever seen before collided.

The fireball, which was like the sun, eventually failed to materialize properly and began to slowly disperse. Arterion continued to pour in his magical power and tried to materialize the magic.

“profit!”

Jerome did not back down either, but gritted his teeth and gathered all his magic power to fight back.

With this move, Arterion had used up more than half of his remaining magical power. Even now, as Jerome continued to fight, his magical power was rapidly being consumed.

They were suffering huge losses while already being pushed back.

People could tell that the dragon was stubborn and believed in its own strength.

The confidence and hope that they could win grew. Jerome just had to block Arterion’s magic a little longer.

As Giselle was attacking without missing the opportunity Jerome had created, she suddenly felt something strange.

Arterion’s reddened eyes still glowed with murder.

however……

‘Are you laughing?’

How can you laugh in a situation like this? You’re so hurt, and you’re getting worse and worse.

Then Arterion spoke softly.

“Found it.”

“what?”

Arterion turned his head sharply.

Kwaaaaaaaah!

As he opened his mouth, the surrounding air was sucked in, creating enormous pressure.

Jiselle turned her head in the same direction and shouted urgently.

“Stop it!”

At that shout, everyone simultaneously rushed towards Arterion without taking care of themselves.

A stronger attack than ever struck Arterion. Blood spurted out as Arterion’s body was deeply wounded. His wings were torn, his chest was cut, and his body was pierced.

But Arterion ignored them all. The dragon was strong enough to withstand all of their attacks.

He just breathed out his breath. There was no need to gather more energy.

This alone was enough to defeat the enemy.

Kwaaaaaaaah!

Jerome opened his eyes wide in surprise. He finally understood Arterion’s true intentions.

“indeed…….”

Arterion continued to expend magical power in an attempt to find a magical base to oppose him.

Even though I tried hard to hide and cover it up, I caught that subtle flow of magical power that was gathering in an instant. It was indeed a dragon.

Moreover, the attack just now was surprising. While they were pouring all their magical power into dispelling the magic that Arterion was emitting, he unleashed a breath that had nothing to do with magic.

The cunning dragon found a way to win, even if it meant sacrificing some of its magic power.

“Vanessa!”

Jerome shouted loudly and drew on all his magical power to create a 9-circle barrier.

Jiing!

A huge barrier surrounded the fortress. The wizards around it instantly lost all their magic power and fell.

It was that urgent. The magicians in the fortress near Jerome’s fortress also had their magical powers sucked out.

This is because Vanessa, feeling a sense of crisis, forcibly extracted all her magical power and directed it at Jerome.

Kwaaaaaaaah!

The breath and the barrier collided, creating a huge shockwave that spread out to the surrounding area.

Dddddddddd!

The barrier continued to sustain the breath by constantly consuming magic power. Even the wizards far away fainted one by one.

The dragon’s breath was weaker than before, but so was the barrier. I had used too much magic power to dispel the dragon’s powerful magic.

In addition, the controllers, Jerome and Vanessa, were distracted from trying to stop two things at the same time.

Paaaaah!

Eventually, the barrier could not withstand the impact and broke. Jerome and Vanessa desperately drew on their magic power again to open the shield.

Kwaaaaang!

The first thing that happened was that the walls of the fortress where the defensive magic had been deployed collapsed. Even though the defensive magic was strong, it couldn’t withstand the dragon’s breath.

But thanks to that, the power of the breath became a little weaker.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Breath continued to break through the shields that Jerome and Vanessa had deployed with all their might. However, it was unable to penetrate all of them and eventually disappeared.

This is because Arterion had already consumed a tremendous amount of energy and could not continue to breathe.

Ice crystals fell from the air, sparkling. The ground around the fortress was covered in thick frost.

It was the aftermath of the now-disappeared breath.

dump.

Jerome, who had exhausted all of his magical power, was the first to fall, losing consciousness.

“Coolook!”

Vanessa also fell to her knees and vomited blood.

All over the fortress, wizards were lying unconscious, having had all their magic drained.

Of course, Arterion also consumed a tremendous amount of magical power. However, Arterion still had enough magical power left to overwhelm them.

There were quite a few wizards left, but none of them could control the massive magical power they had gathered and confront Arterion head-on.

They now had to fight back, each with their own spells unlocked.

“Now is the real beginning.”

Arterion spread his wings arrogantly and stepped back slightly.

I don’t know about other beings, but Arterion was no ordinary dragon. With no controller, he was confident that he could exploit the gaps in the wizards’ lives and implement magic.

“Ugh… … .”

Vanessa gasped and grabbed the pole with a pained expression. She too had used up all her magic power.

A cold wind came rushing in. Even though I blocked the breath, it felt like every part of my body was frozen.

With his own magical power depleted, he could never control the magical power of others. He needed someone to restore the magical power or control it for him.

“Ah, no… … . I have to hold on a little longer… … .”

So far, the battle was going in their favor. The dragon had also expended a great deal of magical power and was exhausted.

So, just seal the magic a little bit more, just a little bit more.

The fortress where Jerome and Vanessa were was only filled with high-level wizards, just in case.

You can just give them control for a little while or ask them to transfer your magic.

But let’s turn our heads.

“ah…….”

Everyone is lying down with their magic power sucked out.

This is because it required a tremendous amount of magical power to solve the breath and 9th circle magic at the same time.

But one person was still standing on his own two feet. He was the type of person who would never have survived.

“Oh, Alpoy?”

Alfoy stood behind me, trembling.
