Dragon Blood (1)
Thump thump thump thump!
My heart pounded hard. My danjeon pumped furiously in time with it.
Ding ding ding ding… … !
The simultaneous thud of the sound resonated like a war bell announcing the start of a war, creating a powerful ripple effect.
The sparks that bloomed on the hot wind turned into bright yellow lightning, sending sparks flying in all directions.
The more the blood boils.
The faster it travels through the blood vessels, the faster it becomes.
He loaded his body with enormous power while also amplifying the efficiency of his magical power.
The blood vessels that had grown taut from my forearms had now spread up my neck and covered half of my face.
Thanks to this, Theo’s already pale face appeared completely pale.
But it didn’t end there.
Additionally, all the artifacts Theo is armed with will begin to resonate and gain power.
『How long has it been since you awakened the Dragon Blood and are you already using it? You really are a quick-tempered companion.』
It seemed as if I briefly heard someone’s laughter from somewhere.
『Okay. But to become this body’s companion, you need to be able to overcome this much. I’m also in the middle of digestion, so I’ll help you out a little.』
For a moment, Theo felt as if a light was flashing before his eyes.
Jeeeeeeing!
[Guardian Dragon’s Blessing begins.] [‘Talent: Dragon’s Blood’ is activated, automatically awakening the Ancient Dragon’s bloodline factor. All Ancient Dragon’s relics show strong sympathy.] [All possessed special abilities are temporarily strengthened.] [All possessed strengthening abilities are temporarily reinforced.] [The effects of possessed artifacts are temporarily amplified.]
.
.
As countless messages pile up before my eyes.
Boom!
Theo stomped the ground hard, crushing it.
Countless rays of light are drawn before my eyes.
Theo was throwing himself into it.
The Dragon Sword, red with heat as it cut through the steam billowing over his skin, moved to strike down the opponent before him.
And each and every one of the countless rays of light he had seen were becoming sword trajectories.
A powerful inspiration struck his mind.
[All Buff status starts.] [Time limit: 5 minutes.] [Countdown starts.] [00:05:00] [00:04:59]
.
Wedge-
It wasn’t just the physical body that was affected by the blood transfusion.
All of the ancient dragon relics that Theo had collected so far, as well as the various skills and special abilities he had acquired through them, were included.
Knock knock knock knock knock-
Ding ding ding ding ding… … !

Theo pressed the leader of the demons with the sound of his heartbeat, which had become so loud that it sounded like drums were being pounded right in his ear, as background music.
Kwakwakwakwa-
‘What power!’
Zzz! Zzz! Zzz! Zzz!
The Demon King felt as if his wrist was ripped off every time he parried Theo’s sword strike.
Unable to repel all attacks, they were quickly pushed back from the altar to the center.
In fact, he had been secretly looking down on Theo all this time.
How strong can a child like this be?
Even if it is called the mystery of Krimhild, how great would the mystery be in a rural area like this?
I borrowed the power of the old magic tool to seal the existence of the Sea King, but I wonder how much my ability will be.
This was because everything was full of suspicious corners.
In reality, the power of the floating archipelago that the commander of the Gui Sal army had experienced so far was not that great.
He only had the pride typical of islanders, but he was not even able to do anything to the demon slayer group he led.
however,
This time it was different.
They said it was a mystery, but I wonder if they weren’t really wrong.
I wonder what happened inside, it was like I became a completely different person.
At that moment, something suddenly occurred to him.
Ragnar.
Haven’t similar mysterious phenomena often occurred in those hated great northern families?
The story goes that a low-ranking warrior like Naburangi, who had been nothing special until last night, suddenly changed and went around beheading tens and hundreds of soldiers.
And these people had one thing in common.
“You are a direct descendant of Ragnar.”
Crack!
The commander of the ghost squad gritted his teeth and glared at Theo.
Now he was no longer flustered, and was calmly fending off Theo’s attacks.
“But I’ve never heard of anyone as strong as you among the young ones. The youngest, Thorkel, is probably in his mid-twenties, but you don’t even look that old. Who on earth are you?”
Theo twisted one lip.
“You didn’t hear about me from Hangryong, did you?”
“Hangryong? Are you talking about Ed?”
“Is there anyone else besides him?”
At that moment, some information that Edgar had shared with his units scattered around the world came to mind.
Among the new generation of Ragnar, you should watch out for a kid named Theo Ragnar. He is talented, but he has a surprising ability to use his brain. He has long hair and a face that is so beautiful that you will easily recognize him.
At that time, I thought it was nothing special, thinking that Ed had been in Ragnar for so long that he was wary of even a child.
Wasn’t that it?

Moreover, at the end of the information, there was even this phrase:
If a conflict occurs, kill them first. However, if you are given some time to spare, it is recommended that you quickly leave the area as there is a high possibility of being counterattacked.
Free time.
Does that category include the time spent unraveling the mystery of Krimhild?
For a moment, a feeling of uneasiness ran down my spine.
“Let’s stop rambling. We’re not close enough to be laughing and chatting like that, are we?”
Another powerful inspiration struck Theo.
A trajectory drawn diagonally.
He followed that path and struck down the Dragon Sword.
<Claws of Nibelun – Slash>
Kyaaaaang!
The Demon King barely managed to deflect the sword that was cleverly targeting his weak point and clenched his teeth.
Cadduk-
“cheeky.”
No matter how much Ed warned me not to bump into him.
I won’t be able to claim the title of Captain of the Demon Slayers if I’m pushed around by a little kid like this.
“The guy in front of you and you too, you Ragnar are just talking nonsense.”
“That’s because you have that much skill.”
It was at that moment that the leader of the demon slayers was about to counterattack, his eyes furrowing.
Suddenly, a chill ran down my spine.
what?
The moment he turned his back, something suddenly burst out of his shadow, its ugly mouth wide open.
Like a shark jumping out of the sea surface to snatch its prey.
I didn’t have time to realize what it was.
Since I had to defeat this right away, I tried to detonate the aura by gathering all the magical power in my left arm.
Kwajik!
“Ugh!”
Auror passed through the shadows so vainly that he pounded on the wall, but instead, the large maw chewed off his entire left arm and shoulder.
Choaack!
The pain of having my left arm ripped off was beyond words.
It feels like stars are spinning before my eyes.
The problem was that even if I tried to counterattack, physical attacks wouldn’t work, and the guy would just dive back into the shadows and disappear.
The last thing I saw of the guy was absurd even for the leader of the demon slayers.
“Why… … what time?”
Why did the dragon commanded by Baek Gap-yong suddenly appear?
Advertisements
No, but wasn’t the flying dragon originally a flying species that lived in the sky? I’ve never heard of one that can jump out of a shadow.
Moreover, its form is slightly different from that of a typical wyvern.
Should I say that it is a bit bigger and has a more vicious feel?
The black shadows rippled like waves along the gray-white scales, giving it a more sinister feel.
A question that could not be helped, as one did not know that Umbra had just begun its evolution into a spirit dragon by swallowing the refined spirit venom of the Sea King.
But Theo was satisfied because he knew that fact well.
Keeeeek!
Umbra’s cries were heard.
It seemed like he was protesting for praise.
“Good job, Umbra.”
Kekeke-
Hearing Umbra’s delighted answer, I swung my Dragon Sword again, seeking inspiration.
Kwakwakwakwa-
The heat quickly turned into a storm, sweeping away the demon lord,
Knock knock …
The thunderbolts flashed and countless bullets struck the floor.
Besides, in the shadows, Umbra lurks like a shark, ready to barge in with its ugly teeth at any moment.
“This kid, for real!!”
The last remaining thread of reason was lost on the leader of the demon slayers.
It was a blow to my pride to be toyed with by such a young kid, and the pain and bleeding from my torn left arm was also eating away at my spirit.
So I flew the sword with the aura over Theo’s head,
Boom!
Even that was blocked by the Dragon Sword,
Paat, paat-
I couldn’t come to my senses at all in the face of the attacks by Shelford, Arin, and Ray, who had joined in at this moment.
“Death… … Huh!”
In addition, with Marty joining in, who was furious at the deaths of his colleagues, he was left with the task of dealing with five inspectors plus an additional monster all at once.
Chaechaechaechae!
Kukuku-
Flash! Flash!
However, even though the ranks of lieutenants were different, the commander of the Gwisal Corps did not give up even the last opening.
‘There must be a way.’
So Theo breathed spirituality into his eyes and observed every single movement of the Demon Slayer.
And then he broke the unified movement down into fractions of a second, and then he broke it down into fractions of a second, and he followed the flow of magic and aura.
Incandescent.

It was burning so hot that I thought my brain was going to burn out.
Hwaaaaak!
At the same time, the world began to seem to stop as the field of vision once again became filled with a halo of light.
It was a time difference that occurred when the speed of time in the outside world could not keep up with the speed of thought.
Thump thump thump thump… … .
Because of my increasingly rapid heartbeat, the blood vessels around my eyes started to bulge and some of them even burst, causing bloodshot eyes.
Theo’s eyes, which were already bright red, were now turning crimson.
A powerful inspiration struck me like a bolt from the blue.
In the midst of the busy movement of the Demon King, there was a subtle imbalance in balance due to the loss of one arm.
Right waist.
Next, the left shoulder.
As soon as Theo made up his mind, he quickly brought his left hand to his waist.
I stopped breathing for a moment.
So that you can focus all your mind on sword fighting.
The moment when your breathing and posture are in sync –
– He pulled out his sword.
Paaaaah!
<Claws of Nibelun – Rupture>
The roar of the Moon White Sword, coveting its prey, became a ray of light and split the world apart.
At the end, the concentration that Baekyeol had achieved was broken, and the time difference gap was also shattered.
In a time that can literally be described as a ‘moment’.
A rough wound, as if a dragon had swung its claws, remained from the right waist of the targeted assassin to the left shoulder.
Phew! Phew!
‘It was shallow!’
But Theo instinctively knew that the feeling on the tip of the sword was not what he wanted.
That was because the guy instinctively threw his body back at the last moment.
“Kill… … Throw away… … !”
The commander of the Gwisal faction, who was on the verge of death, eventually made the extreme choice he had been putting off until the very end.
<Blood Light Harmony – Step 2>
<Backflow explosion>
The blood glow that had been swirling around the guy’s body now emitted a light so intense it was blinding.
The magical wind that blew in as the suicide bomber was activated instantly pushed those surrounding it back several dozen steps.
“I will kill you! Theo Ragnar!!”
The leader of the demon slayers ran straight ahead to kill Theo, who had brought things to this point.
‘Have to stop it…!’

[00:00:01] [The time limit has expired.] [All abilities will be temporarily lowered by 50% as a penalty.]
Theo was about to pick up the Yongsal Sword and the Wolbaek Sword, but suddenly felt tired and staggered.
My body couldn’t keep up with my cognitive speed.
Wedge!
The moment when the Yongsal Sword and the Wolbaek Sword crossed in an X shape to block the attack.
“It’s a mess, everything.”
Suddenly, a tremendous pressure rose in the air and weighed down on Theo and Captain Gui’s shoulders.
Theo stumbled and fell to one knee, and the Demon Captain fell to the ground in his running.
“… … !”
“… … !”
“… … !”
“… … !”
Shelford, Arin, Ray, and Marty all looked in that direction, unable to open their mouths.
A feeling of suffocation.
Their hearts and lungs were tightly wrapped in an invisible hand, holding their lives in a tight grip.
And that was the case with the Knights Templar and the remaining Black Skulls.
A deep silence fell.
At this moment, this place was the exclusive domain of unidentified intruders.
“Everything is really a mess.”
The man who had subdued the Demon King slowly rose from his seat.
A man wearing a wooden mask with an unidentifiable face and a flowing robe.
Noyle.
He threw something he was holding in his hand onto the floor.
Degururur… … .
It was the head of Umberto Spinola, who looked terrified, and the head of Giuseppe Grimal, who looked like he didn’t understand why he had to die.
“I never even imagined this kind of mess.”
The eyes behind the wooden mask shone coldly.
