129 071. Skeleton King -1 Part One

[Name: ??? (Black Dragon)

Age: ???

I couldn’t help but cower from the intense pressure the dragon emitted.

I made it through all sorts of trials and tribulations up until this point, but now it seemed that I would have to fight a dang dragon of all things.

However, I was puzzled by something. A line among the attributes caught my eyes. More specifically, that bit about ‘suffering from a fatal wound’.

Even though I was freaking out inside, I still didn’t forget to check out the dragon’s expression. It was cruelly distorted and its eyes were glaring straight at me as if it couldn’t control its rage at all.

Well, if I were to make a guess, its rage must be because of that wound.

The Black Dragon didn’t even hesitate for a second before mouthing roiling flames within its black maw. After sensing the flow of enormous demonic energy gathering there, I instinctively realised that there was no way I or anyone else would be able to deal with the incoming attack.

“Block that!”

While shouting out, I jumped off from the Cyclops Golem’s shoulder.

The crimson glow within the Golem’s eye intensely sizzled before the laser-like beam shot out. At the same time, the dragon fired its Breath as well.

The petrification ray and the Breath collided in the air. However, the magic that turned its victim into stone was hopelessly outmatched by the overwhelming might of the dragon’s Breath, and it got ruthlessly pushed back.

try { window._mNHandle.queue.push(function () { window._mNDetails.loadTag("386623558", "300x250", "386623558"); }); } catch (error) { }

Flames enveloped the Cyclops Golem’s body, and the statue covered its hands around my body to protect me from the attack to the best of its abilities.

…Who the hell was it? Who the hell was the idiot that said dragons can’t use magic?!

“Bloody hell?! Buy me some time!”

The Cyclops Golem’s body creaked and stuttered like a broken doll when it turned around. It forced its melted-down torso to move and fire another ray of petrification beam.

The attack hit the Black Dragon and some part of its outer skin began solidifying into stone. But at the same time, the dragon’s magic attacks came flying in.

The flame balls heated up the Golem in an instant, then the spears of ice completely shattered its chest. The massive stone statue began crumbling down to bits and pieces.

“Seriously now?!”

I pulled out Amon’s grimoire and enhanced it with [Divine Aura].

There was no more time to worry about the backlash or whatever anymore. I mean, we were about to be turned into roasted charcoal, so what other choice did I have left at this stage?!

“Oh, dear Gaia!”

Not just [Divine Aura] on the grimoire, but I also overlapped its effects with a prayer as well.

But right at that moment, one of the stray magic attacks from the dragon came flying towards my direction. I had no time to defend against that.

I sighed with relief and spoke to Tina, “Thanks. You saved my life just now.”

Even though Tina looked exhausted, she still flinched from my compliment and began nodding her head energetically.

While gripping her staff tightly with both of her hands, she spoke up valiantly. “I-I do not know if I can be any use to you, but I’ll do my best to assist you.”

“In that case, I’ll leave the mummies to you. Stop them as long as possible and buy me as much time as you can.”

My undead legion would only be able to hold up the dragon for a little while. To stop the mummies, I required help from both Tina and Damon.

The two of them nodded while looking clearly determined.

Hans stood behind them with a deeply-scared face. He asked me nervously. “W-what about me? What should I do, sir?”

“Warp Scrolls.”

“…”

“Hand over all the scrolls you have.”
