Chapter 431: Dragon 2

The strong electrical blast slammed against the dragon. It was strong enough to surprise Kalgroan and damage him. At the same time, Junhyuk used his Spatial Collapse.

He wasn’t sure about the dragon’s weak spot, but he thought that the dragon would die if the attack hit his head. Right when Junhyuk was triggering the Spatial Collapse, the dragon raised his head with surprising speed, dodging a direct attack to his head.

The Spatial Collapse couldn’t be completely negated however. Everything within a ten-meter radius of it got sucked toward the collapse, and so, the dragon was damaged.

The dragon was shocked by the power that even sucked his scales off of his body. It was a power that made space disappear. Kalgroan felt that if he had been hit directly by it, his life might’ve been forfeit.

Even though he had a mana shield around himself, Junhyuk’s attack had bypassed it, and that told Kalgroan that things were getting dangerous. The dragon beat his wings and flew up.

Junhyuk grimaced at the move. His drone had been destroyed, so he couldn’t chase after the dragon. The range of his teleportation was too short for him to catch up that way.

Jeffrey approached him then and had Junhyuk get on his drone with him. Jeffrey flew up with Junhyuk, and they both stared at the dragon.

Sarang was chasing the dragon, but despite his size, Kalgroan flew really fast.

Once he reached a certain height, Kalgroan raised his head and sucked the air around him.

Junhyuk could sense that something terrible was about to happen.

“Is that his breath?”

At that moment, Junhyuk contacted Gongon. The hatchling appeared and asked, “I’m busy. What’s up?”

“What are the weaknesses of a dragon?”

Jeffrey’s drone was flying fast, but they were still far from Kalgroan.

“Dragons have no weaknesses. You need to destroy their heart or behead them.”

Junhyuk didn’t have time to elaborate on that. Kalgroan was about to breathe fire.

“What about their breath?”

“Breath?! Do you have a dragon over there?”

“Yes.”

“How big is the dragon?”

“About forty meters long. Jeffrey, what do we do?”

Jeffrey shook his head and said, “There’s nothing we can do now.”

Junhyuk scowled. Jeffrey couldn’t help him now, so he triggered his acceleration and looked around. The champions were all flying toward the dragon, and he wished one of them could help him. However, among them, none could stop that firebreath.

Junhyuk shouted, “Disperse!”

The champions followed his order, and Junhyuk looked at Sarang and said, “Take me with you.”

“Of course!”

“I’m still here,” Jeffrey interjected.

“I know. Focus on flying.”

The dragon was still far away.

“Considering its size, that dragon is warm blooded. A dragon’s breath is pure mana energy, and warm-blooded dragons can destroy small cities with their breaths.”

Junhyuk scowled. He could imagine how much damage the dragon’s breath would cause before it even happened.

He jumped from Jeffrey’s drone to Sarang’s, and hugging her, he used his jump skill. He covered thirty meters and teleported while talking to her.

“Sarang, restrain the dragon as much as you can with your magic.”

She nodded, and he pushed her away, jumping again by himself. Sarang was thrown off course, but he didn’t care. He wanted her as far from the dragon as possible. Kalgroan opened his mouth, and Junhyuk could see fire within it. Could he withstand the flames?

His force field was still under cooldown, so he only had his Spatial Slash at his disposal. Junhyuk couldn’t use it now. He was too far away.

He held tightly to Aksha’s Longsword and lengthened the blade. He prepared a mana blade strike, but only ten meters of the sword’s blade was covered in mana. Junhyuk also felt himself slowing down. He knew that if the dragon used his breath on the city, Seoul would be destroyed.

Junhyuk wanted to stop the dragon.

“Come at me!” he shouted, and Kalgroan breathed toward him. The dragon’s breath formed a horizontal arc in front of him.

Gongon’s definition of a small city was probably different from Junhyuk’s. That kind of breath could probably destroy a few districts within Seoul.

Junhyuk swung his sword, and the mana blade grew even longer with the release of his slash. It became thirty meters long.

Normally, Junhyuk would use his Spatial Slash on his enemy’s weak spot, but things were different now. The Spatial Slash cut the firebreath, and the flames were divided in two. Seeing that, Junhyuk frowned.

The Spatial Slash had lasted but a moment, but it had managed to split the breath. Nevertheless, the breath continued in its path.

Junhyuk knew he had to destroy it.

The firebreath was a massive wall of flames, but it depended on mana to work, like normal fire depended on oxygen. Gongon was gone now, which meant that the dragon was releasing enough mana to disable communications.

The communication orb had been jammed by the breath.

Junhyuk inhaled deeply and swung his sword. Aksha’s Longsword cut the flame wall into smaller pieces, but he felt like his hands were about to fall from the force he felt when making contact with the flames. Nevertheless, he couldn’t stop. Even the pieces of fire would cause serious damage to the ground below.

What would have happened if the city had been hit by a full-force firebreath? The people down below would’ve been decimated. Because of that, Junhyuk kept thinking that he was saving lives with each swing, and so, he kept swinging.

Junhyuk wasn’t standing on anything, so eventually, he started to fall. However, he didn’t stop.

He heard loud explosions and thought bits of the firebreath had hit the ground.

As he kept swinging his sword, he felt something underneath his feet. Jeffrey had flown to him.

“When will it be over?”

He had been swinging his sword while accelerating, so he didn’t know how much time had actually passed. The firebreath was still moving, and he focused only on swinging his sword.

Junhyuk felt his muscles getting tired. The dragon’s breath was stronger than he had imagined, but he only stopped after the firebreath stopped. Junhyuk couldn’t raise his arms anymore, simply staring at the dragon, but Kalgroan also looked tired, doing nothing but flapping his wings enough to hover.

Junhyuk looked around then. Sarang had tried to use a lightning web to contain the breath, but she had failed. That had been the plan she had come up with by using her highest quality intelligence runestones. She had weaved her spell, but it had been unable to contain the dragon’s breath.

The firebreath pierced through the lightning web and fell below. Seoul was on fire.

Junhyuk looked at Jeffrey and said, “Let’s go back. The champions will join us.”

Jeffrey nodded and flew the drone up toward the champions. Sarang followed him.

Light green powder fell over Junhyuk, and the injuries on his arms disappeared. Junhyuk held tightly to his longsword, and the dragon stared at them angrily.

Sarang was following him, and he told her, “Ordinary magic doesn’t work at all.”

“I realized that.”

“Have you used your ring?”

“No.”

She had had to flee his Spatial Collapse, so her attacks hadn’t stacked.

“How much time is left of your cooldown?” she asked.

“Ten seconds.”

Junhyuk had used his Spatial Slash. His cooldown had decreased, but he still had to wait for it.

“I need more time.”

Buying time meant risking your life. The champions flew toward the dragon with that intent.

Junhyuk watched them go while he flew with Jeffrey.

The dragon didn’t seem to care about the champions’ attacks. They had powers, but the dragon only considered Junhyuk dangerous. Kalgroan could ignore Sarang’s magic, but her Thunderstorm could damage him.

Therefore, Kalgroan focused only on the two. He brought both of his claws together in a clap, and suddenly, fireballs appeared in his hands. Kalgroan was far from the heroes, but the heroes could feel the heat from the fireballs.

Smiling, Kalgroan said, “Time to get rid of the flies.”
