Chapter 38  

Chapter 38   . Awakening, Kang Chul-In! War Machine, Lucia!“……!”

Kang Chul-In was surprised at the inexplicable behavior of Lucia, but immediately tried to find the cause .

First, he followed Lucia’s gaze .

Lucia, who ran across, was staring at the sky far behind him, not at him .

“Behind!”

Unless the eyes were on the back of the head, it was impossible to spot an enemy from the rear .

Kang Chul-In turned his head and looked at Lucia’s eyes .

“……!”

At the moment Kang Chul-In’s eyes filled with embarrassment .

Something was diving at him, at a tremendous speed . The speed was great, and would only take a few seconds to hit him .

“Female!”

Kang Chul-In felt his stomach tighten as he realized the identity of the diving thing .

“Damn it, it’s a female . ”

The Peacock Dragon he knows breeds and spawns every spring .

It was unusual that Peacock Dragons, moreover a pair of male and female, were here at the cyprus forest basin in this season like now .

But, sorry .

Now he had to find a way to live somehow rather than complaining .

Right now, Kang Chul-In was in a state that he has no power left for even lifting his finger, as he had fought for a long time and used the mana fire intraburst . Completely exhausted, he still needed time to move his body .

“Move!”

Kang Chul-In concentrated his whole mind and tried to move his legs .

“Move, move!”

In fact, he was completely spent and couldn’t move his body due to exhaustion, but he had to move his body if did not want to die .

Despite the superhuman mentality, he was not able to move .

However .

Kang Chul-In still tried to avoid the diving female peacock dragon even at the painfully slow speed which was all he was able to manage . It would have been nice if all the stamina and mana recharged because the level had risen, but that was only in a game .

“Rather, thrust . ”

In the end, Kang Chul-In decided to give up and accept his fate .

He was Kang Chul-In the Kingslayer, the Grand Sovereign .

If he can not avoid it, even if he die, it suited his temper to die in one strike . He did not want to be beaten to death .

“Eyes . ”

Kang Chul-In was aiming at the right eye of the female Peacock Dragon only a short distance away . Now it was only the eye he could damage now .

“Come . ”

It was when Kang Chul-In squeezed out his strength and stretched out his Vampiric Sword .

“I . ”

Lucia appeared like a lightning, covering his front side .

“This Lucia . ”

Chuck! The Aegis Shield covered Kang Chul-In .

“I protect the Lord . ”

At the same time, the diving female Peacock Dragon and Lucia’s Aegis Shield collided .

Clank!

Kang Chul-In and Lucia flew for several tens of meters and were thrown against the cyprus forest surrounding the basin, with a roar and a tearful sound .

“Cough!”

Blood gushed out of Kang Chul-In’s mouth . It was his first injury after the resurrection .

“Sigh… That… almost killed me . ”

While muttered dryly, Kang Chul-In looked at his abdomen . At the moment of the collision, the Peacock Dragon’s beak was scratched and his left side was pierced, and blood was pouring out .

“Lo,lord . . Are you alright…”

Lucia, who fell into Kang Chul-In’s arms, lifted her head . And she was surprised to see the wound in Kang Chul-In’s abdomen .

“……!”

Lucia’s expression hardened .

“My . . my lord…how dare…an inferior beast…to the master of my soul… . ”

Lucia, who spoke to herself with rage filled voice, suddenly got up .

“Lord… This Lucia…will protect you, my lord…please . . for a while . . please close your eyes for a moment…close your eyes…”

With those words, Lucia left Kang Chul-In’s side and started walking towards the Peacock Dragon .

Kang Chul-In couldn’t see it, but suddenly Lucia’s eyes were out of focus . Her facial expression was terrifying and it was frozen on her face as if she was a doll . Soon after…The deep-black darkness started to spread in Lucia’s eyes .

[War . Machine . Mode . Ready]

Mechanical voice flowed out of Lucia’s mouth .

[Target, confirmed!]

[Aim, Extermination]

[War Machine Mode, Operate!]

When the word ‘Operate’ came out, intense energy was emitted from Lucia’s body . At first glance, it seemed to be several times stronger than the original Lucia .

[War Machine Mode time remaining 4:59… 4:58… . 4:57…]

Lucia ran .

With Zenith, the Sword of Heaven, on her left hand and Aegis, the Shield of God on her right, Lucia’s appearance was dignified and frightening as she was indeed a Warrior born for Battle .

[Die . ]

With a flat, emotionless and an eerie voice, Lucia began to attack the Peacock Dragon .

[Die . ]

Lucia repeated that word only and fought the Peacock Dragon like a machine . How powerful were her attacks and defense that she was able to fight equally with the female Peacock Dragon that is 9m long?“Eat, and after eating it will strengthen you . ”

Although it was dragon heart, it is not an ordinary thing to chew a lump of flesh with the blood still dripping, but Kang Chul-In has to endure the horrifying texture for him to recover his strength .

When he almost finished consuming the Dragon’s heart, the reaction started .

“… . !”

[Level has been raised! Level 29 reached!]

[Level has been raised! Level 30 reached!]

Kang Chu-In felt that his depleted mana had risen at the same time as the level . His physical strength has also recovered to some extent . Even if the Peacock Dragon was the weakest among the dragons, at least the dragon’s heart was still useful .

“The potion . ”

At Kang Chul-In’s words, Podorski immediately pulled out the potion and opened the lid . Kang Chul-In, who received it, gulping down the 250 ml potion to the dregs .

“Phew . ”

Kang Chul-In, who drank the potion, took out a long breath and threw the potion glass bottle away .

“Lord, my Lord! If you get up already!”

“Move aside!”

Podorski tried to persevere, but Kang Chul-in was stubborn . It was not good that Kang Chul-In was still bleeding, staining the wrapped bandages .

“If you block, I’ll cut you down . ”

Kang Chul-In, who uttered an obviously empty threat, used the Vampiric Sword as a staff as he raised his body .

Ssshh!

From Kang Chul-In’s body, white steam started to emerge . It grew like a haze, and the dense mana flowed from Kang Chul-In’s inside .

“How dare you drive me into a corner . ”

Seen in Kang Chul-In’s eyes, the man who came back to life with the power of Dragon, was a Heavy Light that wasn’t there before .

“I will kill you . ”

According to common sense, Kang Chul-In’s words were ridiculous .

However, it was true that his body was in very bad condition, although he stood up by the power of dragon heart . If it was put into numbers, would it be about 40% of his best condition? It was obvious that he was weak .

But, as soon as he reached level 30, Kang Chul-In had a trump card that could destroy the Peacock Dragon .

Now was the time to show it .

#

Lucia, who had turned on the war machine mode, proved her worth by holding her own against the Peacock Dragon .

Although it’s a female, but the fact that only in five minutes, she drove the monster that even Kang Chul-In could not stand against alone, was enough to acknowledge Lucia’s power and prowess .

But… By the time it reached five minutes, the limit of War Machine Mode, Lucia was in crisis .

[ 4, 3, 2, 1… 0! ]

The countdown ended,

[War Machine Mode, Shut Down . Cool Down time: 168 hours]

Lucia’s declaration of war is over .

“……!”

And the Peacock Dragon’s counterattack has begun .

“Ms . Lucia!”

“It is dangerous!”

“Avoid it!”

The adventurers who fought together with Lucia shouted all at once, but Lucia, who suffered the aftermath of the ended war machine mode, was unable to move even a single step .

The giant hind legs of the Peacock Dragon fell on Lucia .

It would have been natural for Lucia to be crushed to death if she was trampled by the sharp claws .

“Aaww, Lord…!”

Lucia felt only praise for Kang Chul-In even though death had come in front of her .

‘By now, you have escaped to a safe place, and because I have done my job, there is no lingering feeling even if I die now . Mr Timothy, please take good care of my Lord! Lord, even without me, I hope you accomplish your goal!’

Lucia closed her eyes .

She was the one who waited for Kang Chul-In for an eternity from the other dimension . It was a glorious end for her to be able to die for Kang Chul-In .

Of course, Kang Chul-In would not let it end like this .

“Good work . ”

Kang Chul-In, who appeared like a ghost, embraced Lucia . Then jumped . The Peacock Dragon’s foot smashed the ground in vain .

“L,Lord!”

Embraced in Kang Chul-In’s arms, Lucia was surprised . Kang Chul-In’s condition was severe . It did not make sense for him to be able to move so quickly .

“That was enough . ”

“But… . ”

“I have the power to kill that thing . ”

“……!”

“So, stand down . ”

“……?”

“Heavy . ”

“So, Sorry…!”

Lucia was surprised and wriggled out from Kang Chul-In’s arms . Her face turned red .

“10 seconds . ”

Kang Chul-In said .

“I will see the end of it . ”

And he rushed to the Peacock Dragon . “Phut!” Kang Chul-In moved so fast there was the sound made by a sonic boom .

At that time, everyone on the scene was able to see and hear how poorly the Peacock Dragon fared against Kang Chul-In’s devastating strikes .
