Chapter 46 : Lizard Hunt
Whoosh!
The atmosphere above my head heated up intensely.
A Sub-Dragon was flying towards Reichart while spewing heat.
Kaaak!
With this, the ssenger of Kelbes who visited Reichart for the second ti flashed red scales more vivid than flas and circled largely around the spire where I, Hein Reichart, stood.
A mont later, a blinding light flashed in the sky, and Valdano, who had transford into a red-haired young man, landed lightly in front of .
“…….”
“Why? Is there sothing you do not like?”
“Are you the only one?”
Whether he was displeased that Redin, the leader of humans, was nowhere to be seen, or if he was offended by the fact that the person who ca out to greet him was only .
Valdano asked while raising the scales on the back of his hand.
“Is there a problem if I am alone?”
“Arrogant bastard.”
At my inscrutable expression, Valdano flashed his fangs and growled.
“Well, fine. Since today is a good day when the leader of our clan awakens, I shall forgive your rudeness just this once. I will ask. Where are the tributes to be offered to us?”
Valdano, who did not think Reichart would have chosen resistance, demanded two thousand tributes as if collecting entrusted goods.
“Before that, shall I ask just one thing?”
I threw a question at Valdano instead of an answer.
“I commanded you to offer the promised tributes right now. Stop the arrogant behavior imdiately and…….”
“First, I never promised to grant your disgusting request.”
“……!”
“And second, how on earth were you born to be so damnably born?”
Bang!
The scales on the back of his hand, which had been trembling, unable to overco the irritation from a while ago, stood up completely.
A breath filled with flas burst out from Valdano's mouth.
“Foolish bastard. You guys eventually betrayed our rcy and…….”
“Listen carefully to . Lizard.”
I, having cleanly dodged Valdano's fla breath with a single nod, spoke in a cold voice.
“Li. Zard!”
The mont he heard the insulting words coming from my mouth, Valdano's red hair, which had been neatly arranged, soared in all directions and his golden pupils dilated, unable to overco the excitent.
“If you go back, tell your leader.”
In Valdano's pupils, which dilated as if to fill his face, the image of drawing swords in both hands clearly entered.
“Since this is all we will give you.”
Swoosh!
“Kugh!”
My hands crossed so fast that Valdano's gaze could not follow.
The cool Blade Aura cut through the air as it was and flew in, hitting Valdano's forehead.
Drip drop.
Blue blood flowing through the long-torn forehead ford in Valdano's eyes, which flashed while harboring a murderous spirit.
The appearance of Valdano emitting a gaze full of killing intent below the forehead torn severely enough to show bone was reminiscent of a reaper.
I, the Acting Family Head of Reichart, declared to the ssenger of the Sub-Dragon who looked like a fierce demon.
“So co as much as you want if you are coming.”
“……You will regret this.”
Valdano spat out a curse without even thinking of wiping the flowing blood.
“After this mont, the humans who trust and follow you will suffer from pain worse than death and et a miserable end. You must not forget that all this pain stemd entirely from your foolish choice.”
With these words at the end, Valdano changed his appearance back to that of a Sub-Dragon and flew up into the void.
And after circling the spire once while spewing fire as if to threaten , he flew towards the place he ca from.
“Worrying about even while I'm busy running away. I really do not know what to do with myself.”
Watching the back of Valdano moving away in an instant, I concentrated on the Blade Aura once again.
Wooong.
Family Sword in the left hand, Axion in the right hand. The secret sword technique left by ‘Herar Reichart’ began to howl fiercely riding the blades of the two swords.
I raised my hand and aid at Valdano's wing which was becoming increasingly faint.
Normally, it is the rule of the battlefield not to attack a ssenger who brought a ssage.
However, I had no intention of keeping that principle for Valdano. Because what I have to deal with right now is,
‘Just a lowly reptile pack that habitually betrays, not humans.’
rcy to show against a reptile pack did not exist in .
‘Still, since the ssage must be delivered, I will spare your life.’
Thanks to fierce training, my swordsmanship had finally crossed the wall of the 6th Star and reached the entry of the 7th Star.
To the very realm of 7 known to have exceeded the realm of mortals.
Didn't Gillian also say in my past life that a 7th Star swordsman can change the direction of battle alone?
Swoosh.
The fierce slash of a 7th Star swordsman who can change the direction of battle alone flew cutting through the void.
Crackle!
One of Valdano's wings, which was hit directly by the slash while defenseless, fluttered in a gaunt appearance as if it would fall off right away.
In this state, he might be able to fly to the main base sohow, but it seed correct to view that he had lost imdiate combat power.
‘First, caught one.’
The number of Sub-Dragons Kelbes commands is 200 in total.
Having made one of them incapable of combat, I imdiately threw my body out of the spire.
Piiing!
What was waiting for below the spire was a spatial movent magic circle with coordinates input, and a crystal ball eagerly waiting for a command.
I imdiately threw my body into the magic circle and shouted towards the crystal ball.
“I am going there now, so everyone stays on standby fully prepared!”
***
“Is that so? You an the humans made such a decision?”
At the news encountered for the first ti after waking from a long sleep, Kelbes shook his long-stretched body left and right and exhaled a hot breath.
Unlike other Sub-Dragons who had hard and blunt scales like rocks, Kelbes ‘body’ was drawing exceptionally smooth and elegant curves.
“They say they dare to want a hellscape, so there would be no need for us to show rcy.”
However, unlike that elegant appearance, hot hostility reminiscent of boiling sulfur fire gathered and ca out from Kelbes's mouth.
Looking at Valdano who was bowing his body with one wing almost lost, Kelbes raised his voice and shouted.
“Comrades! We shall let the foolish humans know that we have awakened from a long, long sleep!”
As soon as Kelbes's shout was made, the Sub-Dragons who woke up from sleep stretched their wings all at once and prepared to fly up.
Even though it was imdiately after waking up from a long sleep, the Sub-Dragons seed to have no restrictions at all in moving.
Their bodies were too strong for sothing like thousands of years of ti to make them rusty.
“Go, my brothers!”
200 Sub-Dragons flew up into the void all at once.
Constraints of space seed to an nothing to the wing movents of the Sub-Dragons to chew the flesh of humans who dared to go against their will.
Flap!
About 5 minutes after they left the nest,
A mountain range soaring high as if touching the end of the sky was revealed in front of the Sub-Dragon pack.
The na of this mountain range is Baskal.
The Baskal Mountain Range, surrounded by dense greenery all year round, was known for even flying birds avoiding it due to its ruggedness.
But what was facing Baskal right now were Sub-Dragons, not birds.
Those who had no intention of bypassing a re mountain began to cross over the mountain range as it was while maintaining altitude.
Whoooosh!
Due to the wind caused by the Sub-Dragons' wing movents, the forest shook violently as if hit directly by a storm.
Flash!
At that mont, sothing harboring a sharp spirit sparkled and emitted light in the forest that was showing its appearance sparsely.
However, the arrogant Sub-Dragons, who did not even think of looking down at the ground in the first place, did not notice that light.
“It is now. Deploy the barrier!”
“Understood. Master!”
That indifference returned, becoming a knife choking their necks.
Woooong.
A large wave covered them when the Sub-Dragon pack standing at the lead reached near the summit of the mountain range.
“Kieeeek!”
And, screams burst out from the mouths of the Sub-Dragon pack that had been roaming the firmant with a spirit that seed to know no fear until now.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
So of the Sub-Dragons hit directly by the wave plumted to the ground and then vomited blood while rolling on the floor, and the Sub-Dragons not hit directly also circled the void repeatedly and let out turbid cries.
The Sub-Dragons located in the middle and rear of the formation sensed that sothing was wrong with their bodies and stopped flying, but,
“Fire!”
Piiing!
Huge harpoons stretched out from all over the forest and covered the lost Sub-Dragon pack as they were.
“Kieek!”
So of the Sub-Dragons had their bodies completely pierced by harpoons, and others dangled while hit by harpoons.
The degree of wounds suffered was different, but what they were feeling was the sa.
‘To think I am wounded by a human weapon made of steel!’
Perhaps because shocking events happened in succession in a short mont, they did not realize that their bodies had weakened and the cause lay in the wave that burst out from the summit a while ago.
Piiing!
“Kirr!”
Even in the midst of that, harpoons soared without rest.
Among the Sub-Dragons, there were those who ca to their senses and attempted a turning flight to avoid the wave of harpoons, but,
“Kerek!”
The number of Sub-Dragons that avoided the pursuit of harpoons to the end was not large.
Unlike the Sub-Dragons whose flight speed had dropped to half due to the influence of the barrier, the harpoon control skills of the Reichart soldiers who practiced staying up all night for the past month were too excellent.
Rumble!
The soldiers, who confird that the harpoons hit the target with the heavy sensation felt at their fingertips, imdiately turned the pulleys as big as houses.
The chains connected to the harpoons pulled the Sub-Dragons to the ground without delay.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Soon, dozens of Sub-Dragons plumted into the mountain range in a line.
“Kaaaak!”
The Sub-Dragons, who confird their colleagues being dragged down into the forest like carp caught on a fishing line, concentrated their minds and began to chant spells.
If it were their usual selves, they would have chosen to descend directly and identify the harpoons, but their bodies, which had beco absurdly weak for unknown reasons, made them anxious.
Crackle.
Whoosh!
Blaze!
Before long, electricity, fire, and cold winds began to rage around the Sub-Dragons.
It seed like the magic cast by dozens of Sub-Dragons at the sa ti would soon hit the forest.
“Hmph! By whose permission!”
And once again, a wave hit the Sub-Dragons.
Pshhh…….
All the waves of mana they tried to summon vanished in an instant.
Flap!
The Sub-Dragons, suddenly feeling fear at the fact that magic, which was as free as breathing, did not work as intended, hurriedly flapped their wings and moved away from the harpoons.
Flap flap.
Perhaps thanks to doing their best even with uncomfortable wing movents, a group of Sub-Dragons was barely able to escape the range of the harpoons.
The fact that nearly half of their colleagues had been swallowed into the forest before they knew it was painful, but they still sighed in relief at the fact that they had escaped the fear of the harpoons.
However, the ti of peace was not that long.
“Keek!”
My figure rushing while stepping on the chain was caught in the eyes of the Sub-Dragon resembling a snake.
Befitting a harpoon made for anti-Sub-Dragon use, the chain connecting the harpoon was also not thin.
However, no matter how thick the chain was, it was by no ans an easy task to run stepping on a chain stretched into the void.
Clang!
That fact, the Blade Aura ford on my two swords, and the fact that I was approaching them made the Sub-Dragons subrge in fear.
“Kieeeek!”
“Haa!”
Throwing my body from the end of the chain with a shout, I drove the sword in my left hand straight into the Sub-Dragon's adams apple.
“Karek!”
And then, I plunged the harpoon hanging at the end of the chain I rode on into its wing root.
Shing.
Imdiately after I pulled out the sword embedded in its neck, the Sub-Dragon disappeared into the forest in an instant while entrusting its body to the harpoon.
In that instant, another Sub-Dragon and my eyes t.
“……!”
The mont it faced my gaze, which was cooler than the sword held in my hand, the Sub-Dragon unwittingly recalled the words Valdano had said a while ago.
‘A human with eyes the sa color as his black hair attacked and made like this.’
Crash.
Buried in the sound of chains being pulled here and there, the Sub-Dragon could not hear what the human said.
But unfortunately, the Sub-Dragon could read my lips, and soon goosebumps rose all over its body.
The words I said were exactly.
“I will show you hell.”
Because it was.
