Chapter 37   . Hunting of the Peacock Dragon . Srrrrrrr!

A green monster softly landed from the sky .

Measuring about 11m from head to toe, this was a unique monster species, displaying features of a dragon and a peacock .

It was beautiful .

As all peacocks are, the Peacock Dragon’s figure was elaborate and had unmatched beauty . It was appropriate that it ranked at the top among the dragon species with respect to aesthetics .

‘Male . ’

Kang Chul-In has determined the gender of the Peacock Dragon after observing a half moon shaped feather around its waist (In fact the feather is also on the peacock’s waist) . The females of the Peacock Dragons did not have the half moon shaped feather that symbolized peacock dragons .

‘A female would have been easier . ’

Kang Chul-In smacked his lips .

The fighting power between the male and female was like night and day .

If the fighting power of the male was more or less like 4, 5 fully grown Ogres, that of the female was far short of that .

‘No, perhaps, it is better . ’

However, as the heart of a male dragon is more precious, Kang Chul-In switched the disappointment with a thought of anticipatory rewards .

– Podorski, you, you are first .

Kang Chul-In sent a hand signal to Podorski .

– Just leave it to me, my lord .

Podorski nodded his head .

The best, first step in battling a Peacock Dragon, or any other winged monsters, was to take away its mobility . It required breaking its wings or shackling up its ankles . That was the reason for engaging Podorski, the master of shackles .

– Wait, wait .

Kang Chul-In waited for the most opportune time without taking his eyes off of the Peacock Dragon . Hunting demands patience .

It has been about 30 minutes .

The Peacock Dragon finally came to a rest in the middle of the basin after moving around the area for a while . Then twisting its body, it buried its beak into the left wing .

‘Sleeping, this is the chance . ’

It was the best opportKang Chul-In shouted . He couldn’t lose this great chance .

“Let’s go!”

“Stab-!!!”

“Die, you bastard!!!”

Filled with rage, the adventurers wildly stabbed the lower abdomen of the peacock dragon as they shouted . Designed just for the purpose of stabbing, the sharpness of the 24 Black Thorn spears was beyond imagination .

Shook,

Shooook,

Shook-shook!!!

Blood began to pour out of the lower abdomen of the peacock dragon . Some areas showed scarlet skin through torn leathery scale .

It was then .

Feeling threatened for its life, the peacock dragon roared and took out its secret weapon .

Whirrrrl!

The feathers on the back of the peacock dragon opened wide and formed into a fan shape . The peacock dragon has initiated ‘psychedelic silk’, known as its lethal weapon .

The peacock dragon’s fan shaped feather, the psychedelic silk, was a technique that causes one to suffer intense hallucination upon looking at them . Once falling into it, one enters near unconscious state for about 5 minutes, during which time the peacock dragon could devour them as they fell victim to the technique’s crowd control mechanism .

Srrrr… . Srrr . Srrrr .

The peacock dragon’s feather swayed as if to be dancing as it cast its psychedelic spell . Without a counter, everyone was in danger of falling into the hallucination spell .

-Krrrrr?

The peacock dragon tilted its head .

Something was strange .

None of the adventurers that were in the peacock dragon’s spell showed any swaying at all .

It was so even after using the psychedelic silk used to cause complacency . It must have looked impossible for the peacock dragon .

“Hugh . ”

Kang Chul-In let out a long exhale as he raised mana level .

He gave a fishy smile . It was as if he was saying, I knew it all along, it is a futile effort . Having drunk a focus potion in advance, he and the adventurers were free from the effects of the psychedelic silk .

Thuup!

Raising the Blood sword, Kang Chul-In became one with the flash of silver as he stormed towards the peacock dragon .

Shooook!

The Blood sword penetrated the peacock dragon in between the crack of its leathery skin . The target was lower abdomen, a single penetration, moving from bottom to top .

– Krrrrr!!!

The peacock dragon tried to shake, letting out a cry filled with pain .

‘That’s the end . ’

However, Kang Chul-In had no interest in leaving the peacock dragon alone .

Scheek, scheeeek!

The Blood sword produced sparks .

‘Mana fire,’

Kang Chul-In devised a way to neutralize his opponent even with a low sorcery power as he gathered up all his mana . It was explosion, great explosion that he visualized .

‘Intraburst . ’

Kang Chul-In’s mana transformed into an explosive and it flowed down the Blood sword into the peacock dragon’s body .

The target was the head of the peacock dragon .

It took less than 1 second for Kang Chul-In’s mana to travel from the lower abdomen, through the neck, into the brain .

Kwang!

With the sound of explosion,

Whirrrl!

…The skull and its contents of the peacock dragon broke into million pieces and fell to the ground .

However .

As it appeared to have reached the finale, an uninvited guest appeared and threw cold water on the Team Slayers, who were about to pop fire crackers in order to celebrate . magic

“Lord, my lord!”

Lucia ran towards Kang Chul-In like a madwoman .
