Chapter 368
9) Black Bear and Dragon
Weed’s high visibility meant the priests found it easy to aim at him when chanting divine magic .
“Twist and pierce through . Wave of Light . ”
“Scary memories, the most dangerous things that have happened to you will appear in front of you . Advent of Fear . ”
“Flapping its wings . Summon human eating pests!”
“Blood will not stop overflowing . Bloody Eve!”
Weed swept away the fanatics running towards him with both arms .
Kwa kwa kwang!
The fanatics were thrown dozens of metres away with the impact causing a deep pit! No matter how their strength was amplified by the power of faith in this place, it was no use against Weed .
Buildings crumbled and there was a deep pit in the ground every time he wielded his arms .
The pleasure of a giant creature trampling on the small and weak! His fists could crush anything while the enemies just rolled around the ground and died . This was the fun of being a giant .
“Bring it on . These people will continue to drop japtem . ”
It was impossible for regular soldiers in the warring period to go against Weed . There was a large difference like heaven and earth . However, his eyes that showed his charisma and fighting spirit also pressed against the enemies .
The enemy could only submit to his authority and their fear would increase his infamy . The knights died with just one hit form the sword and the Great Emperor of the desert created a new chapter in the history of the continent .
Even so, the fanatics didn’t panic or shrink back . Soon the various spells of the Embinyu Church focused on Weed!
Weed bent his upper body to avoid some but most of the magic hit . Of course, the thick leather meant the maximum magic damage was reduced by half and he didn’t feel much pain .
“Act in moderation . I don’t know what I did to become an enemy . ”
“Shut up, you are the culprit that destroyed the Sky Tower! You have already forgotten your sins!”
“Yes, it is my fault for living for this world . I was always like this!”
He even used the wreckage of the building in combat . The giant black bear ran around and threw anything he could get his hands on . The large and small remnants of the tower were everywhere . He used the buildings as cover to take out enemies one by one .
Many of the priests were dealing with the dragon so that was a large advantage . Many priests were directing their brainwashing magic towards the dragon so they couldn’t attack Weed .
Heuller only glared at Weed .
“You will surrender to God Embinyu . Don’t resist . Blasphemy!”
-The high priest Heuller has used Blasphemy on this entire region . You will receive a blow to your health and mana, depending on your faith . Health has decreased by 4,394! Blasphemy can’t be resisted . Your faith stat has temporarily been replaced by 0 . For 4 minutes, all corpses of Embinyu knights and priests will exert constraints . |
Weed hasn’t received much damage despite currently didn’t have any faith . However, all his resentment exploded out after Heuller used the technique .
“How am I supposed to fight like this?”
The memory of fighting Bardray in the past resurfaced . Even back then, he had to fight through all types of disadvantageous conditions .
Blasphemy would be decisive in a large scale war . Even if he brought regular priests, they wouldn’t be able to help . The priests wouldn’t be able to use healing magic unless Heuller was killed . This situation was like an unfair competition between a wealthy son and a rebellious son!
Heuller tapped the ground a few times with his staff .
“Embinyu will burn everything . Summon the Fire of Destruction!”
-The Fire of Destruction has been summoned . The identity of the magic hasn’t been fully revealed . This black magic is considered among one of the worst attack magic against humans and the method to use the magic has become a secret . An enormous health will be the nourishing for the flame that will burn people’s flesh . The Flames of Destruction won’t burn out . When it moves around a certain radius, it will burn people except for the one who summoned it and will become hotter . After finally filling up the required health and vitality, the flame will return to its summoner and be activated . |
“This isn’t acting moderately at all . ”
But the high priest of the Embinyu Church continued to use his divine magic . A huge fireball was slowly being formed in the air .
He could fight using direct physical combat but Heuller’s holy magic and protection spells were on another level . Even physical attacks like the dragon swinging its paws or tail were easily blocked by a protective barrier .
“My subordinates are invisible at this important moment . It would be nice if Hestiger was here . ”
Weed moved to a location where there was a huge pile of rubble from the collapse of the Sky Tower .
Heuller and the priests of the Embinyu Church needed to be near the dragon . Weed couldn’t leave the area due to the curse magic but he could enter deeper into the enemy .
Meanwhile, the Fire of Destruction had hit the dragon .
Weed stepped closer due to this .
“God Embinyu is a man right? It is difficult to tell so I need a small reminder… . . ”
“Kill him!”
The Embinyu knights led the attack against him . Usually they were a fairly scary existence . They were rush at utmost speed and crush the enemy with their swords or spears .
The charge of the knights maximized the power of their formation . It was possible for a few thousand knights to slaughter thousands of monsters on the plains . But it was impossible to charge due to the debris so they had to surround him . The ground was also a mess so the knights couldn’t move quickly . Without the charge then they were a good meal for Weed!
-Anger has increased due to the repeated attacks . Power will greatly increase . Resilience will be enhanced . Maximum health has increased and the temporary increase will rise with your percentage of anger . |
A state where his anger had risen . Weed smashed the knights into buildings or their colleagues .
“Kuaaaah!”
The roar of a giant bear!
This was the pleasure of being a large creature!
-Kwarararararara!
Another massive roar was heard that rocked the land and buildings in close proximity .
“I should fight quietly . ”
He blushed as the dragon responded to his yell .
“Come here . I will thoroughly smash all of you!”
Weed fought against the fanatics even more fiercely . Buildings were demolished and he threw rocks at the approaching knights .
There were monsters flying in the sky . Monsters soared up and the sky was filled with a variety of them . They flew towards the dragon but dozens headed towards Weed .
Weed caught any flying monsters that approached and hurled them to the ground . And he roared in a small voice .
“Kuaah!”
When he was younger, he had watched a movie where a huge beast rampaged . People yearned to become a giant creature for the same reason . A King Kong like creature among modern buildings!
Weed was a creature like that as he smashed with his limbs . The evil people gathered around him made him feel very unpleasant!
“Go!”
“It is impossible to jump over on horseback . ”
“Abandon the horses . ”
“That bear is watching us . Keeook!”
The large bear took advantage of the terrain that he had changed himself . He cracked the ground with his fists and the knights fell from their horses .
Everywhere Weed walked, he would cause a deep pit in the ground due to his weight . He also smashed entrances and alleys to make it difficult for more enemies to appear .
“Don’t get too close and just throw your spears . ”
“Call the ranged units . Deploy the archers . ”
The Embinyu Church mobilized a massive number of soldiers and knights . The priests were almost not visible as they continued to try and control the dragon . The knights covered the ground while archers climbed onto the rubble to fire arrows towards Weed .
“Those are awful shots for soldiers . ”
It was inevitable that the spears and arrows from the enemies would hit Weed’s body .
-The glossy fur and leather has exerted its defensive capabilities . |
“Kuweek!”
“A-arrows… . ”
“Continue attacking! Search for those who go against the will of Embinyu . ”
The archers fired their arrows . They were aiming at a large target so even arrows fired roughly couldn’t be avoided . But some also went over the target and hit their colleagues .
The arrows and spears that couldn’t penetrate Weed’s thick skin bounced off and damaged their colleagues .
“Throw the spears . All monsters won’t survive in front of the great Embinyu . ”
“Let’s go hunting . We can taste the best meat . ”
The knights continued to raise their morale with encouragement . The fanatics eagerly jumped to give their support and loyalty so the knights’ fighting spirit didn’t fall .
The advantage in strength and physique that Weed gained as a huge monster was tremendous . Just using his arms would be a long ranged weapon that could assault a group .
More than 30 enemies lost their lives every time Weed attacked . Just one fist would break a building and the knights holding shields would fly back into their colleagues!
“Being large is truly funny . ”
He enjoyed the enormous damage and flinging debris . But the spears that the knights threw and the arrows caused him a headache due to his high visibility .
Weed didn’t stop at all as he punched and kicked . The knights that came close grabbed his fur and tried to attack . And he couldn’t do anything against the archers .
He threw rocks and swung his arms at the archers but more would come from another place . He killed the enemies but more Embinyu members continued to appear .
-Health is reduced . The number of arrows inserted in you have exceeded 2,600 . Resilience has increased by 1 due to this great record . Health will continue to decline due to the many injuries . |
“Die!”
“He is weakening!”
Weed was dealing damage to the enemy but it didn’t seem to matter as more of them kept appearing .
“Kuooooh!”
The roar of the giant black bear inflicted fear but the enemy didn’t even hesitate . The frightening growl didn’t express any tiredness as he continued to kill the knights . His health continued to decrease as the arrows kept piercing his body .
It was impossible to defend all his body parts from so many attacks . He had a lot of health but it was gradually reducing . Moreover, the high priest Heuller was clever . He sent troops towards Weed while concentrating on brainwashing the dragon .
If the Embinyu Church’s brainwashing of the dragon was successful then everything else would be meaningless . The large black bear would just be like a cute teddy bear or food in front of the dragon!
‘It would be a great honour to die… No, it won’t be tamed in this way . It isn’t a total loss yet . ’
Eliminating the Embinyu Church troops and monsters that constantly popped out wasn’t an appropriate method . No matter how much he fought, it had virtually no effect .
‘Should I not deal with these guys?’
Weed gazed at a building that was on fire . But he didn’t know what was happening inside .
Nodulle had used poison in the past but Weed was unaware of its existence . He didn’t know that the poison had already been burned by Hestiger!
He was struggling against the forces of the Embinyu Church alone . The number of troops he saw in the video of the Sky Tower’s construction was impossible for 1~2 people to overpower . Even if he had dealt a huge blow by collapsing the Sky Tower, there was still an enormous number of troops remaining .
-Kuwooooooooh! It hurts! Selfish humans, recklessly giving me pain . I will exterminate your species . Head… My head is breaking!
The dragon suddenly screamed . The dragon was the absolutely strongest creature but now it was making pained groans .
Heuller and the Embinyu Church’s senior priests had firmly grasped the dragon’s head! Just like Weed, the dragon was a large creature with high strength and vitality . That alone meant it could exert a tremendous ability that would prevent it from dying .
But the Embinyu Church had sufficient capacity to brainwash the dragon with their divine power .
“There isn’t much remaining . Once Heuller-nim’s work is completed, this world will crumble . ”
“The dragon will be a servant of our church . ”
The sound of the archers rejoicing reached Weed’s ears . The collapsed buildings around him meant he could hear a considerable number of sounds from the monsters and knights .
But his sensitive ears would hear those words anywhere!
“Is that right?”
Weed turned around and started to run . Of course, it wasn’t to escape . There was no possibility of him using that method .
Weed jumped over the wreckage and headed towards the dragon . Strands of divine power emerged from the priests and wrapped around the struggling dragon . No matter what the dragon tried, it couldn’t escape from the divine power surrounding its body . And the high priest Heuller continued chanting spells towards the dragon .
The dragon’s tail and wings were still free . It was encircled by dozens of knights .
Weed attacked those Atrocity Knights instead of the troops that emerged . In fact, it was a situation where the troops were dispatched towards the dragon instead of fighting Weed!
Heuller had captured the dragon so they thought Weed was trying to stop it .
“The enemy has appeared . ”
“Stop him!”
The Embinyu knights tried to block him but he just broke through them . Weed knocked the bodies of the knights everywhere .
“Ausollet!”
-Who… Who is calling me?
The dragon blinked at Weed with large eyes . The eyes changed from an intense gaze into blank eyes .
The Embinyu Church’s brainwashing was showing its power! Under normal conditions, the dragon wouldn’t be so easily brainwashed . But Ausollet had been brainwashed by the Embinyu Church for a long time before waking up so it would only take a short time to tame it again .
Weed ran through the knights and the magic attacks from the priests .
“I am going to save you!”
-You… Who are you?
Ausollet had been roaring with aggression towards Weed a short time ago . But now it just asked the question like it had forgotten all about it . A dragon with dementia was the luckiest situation!
“I am your friend . ”
-Frie…nd?
“I am going to save you now . ”
Weed kicked the priests who were chanting the brainwashing spell .
“No!”
The priests shrieked .
It was like the Embinyu Church were preparing dinner all night only for the table to be overturned! Half the red lines of brainwashing around the dragon disappeared .
“Do not interfere . Glacier’s Breath!”
High priest Heuller pointed his fingers and the temperature in Weed’s vicinity declined in 1 second, forming transparent ice cubes . An unavoidable attack!
-You have been shocked by the broken fragments of ice . Health has decreased by 36,212 . Movement speed has slowed down and additional damage will continue to be received as the ice melts . |
-You have been continuously hit by the broken ice fragments . Damage is added . |
Glacier’s Breath was a powerful magic attack that continuously hit him ten times . His reflexes were quick but it was impossible to avoid the damage with his large body . He was able to endure it thanks to his angry state .
-Movement speed has slowed by 58% . |
The other priests also used divine magic attacks but by that time, Weed had already released all the red lines of the brainwashing spell .
Some of the red lines hit him instead .
-Embinyu’s Mark of Faith has confined you!The soul attack has dealt a direct impact to concentration . Once concentration is completely reduced, you will be a willing slave to Embinyu . Current mental power status: Dizziness (87/100) . |
Weed always experienced curveballs on his adventures . The remaining attacks from the priests were aimed at his health!
As a human sculptor, Weed needed to manage his health well . If his health was low then he would just be slain .
Whether he had 500 health or 1,000 health, he needed to take advantage of everything in order to survive . But now he was huge so the attacks weren’t as dangerous .
Nevertheless, he couldn’t freely move around to kick the priests due to the dragon . Ausollet gazed at Weed who was almost the same size as it .
-Friend… .
“Yes, friend . ”
-Calling you friend is a little awkward .
“We are very close friends . There is no need to be ashamed . ”
The inspirational feeling of a pure friendship .
Dragon and extra-large black bear!
Just standing near the two giant creatures was intimidating as they gave off an enormous pressure . The dragon with dementia was deceived while the black bear was a scam artist!
An absurd number of magic attacks were poured towards Weed and the dragon . The destruction magic that stopped due to the brainwashing started flying again .
In any other circumstances, Weed would have no choice except to die . No matter how high his level was, dozens of destructive magic attacks were enough to drop his health in an instant .
-Attack . Stop it .
“No, my friend . You can do that . Unfold your shield . ”
-Shield?
“Yes . You have a really good protection spell . And it is urgent so you should use it quickly . ”
-I don’t know how to use it .
“Command the mana that is flooding your bones and heart . Stop the attacks . ”
-I will stop it .
Then a thin protective layer was created from the dragon’s body .
“Is this it? Both of us should be protected . Spread out the shield as much as possible!”
-Block all of it .
Dozens of protective shields wrapped around Weed and the dragon .
Kwa kwa kwa kwang!
Despite all the destructive magic attacks, they only pulled down 2~3 of the protective shields . The absolute magic power of the dragon!
Of course, Ausollet was especially strong among the dragons . However, the hastily unfolded shields managed to defend against the magic .
Weed was busy thinking as the shields were maintained for a while . Ausollet had been severely injured by the brainwashing but the healing powers of its body meant it was slowly recovering .
Of course, Weed collapsing the tower had decreased its health by half . Weed and the dragon were now at risk!
“Friends, would you mind healing me?”
-I’d like to but I don’t know how . What should I do?
“This person, no this bear is very important to you . So I think you should treat the injured areas . Don’t you remember anything when looking at me?”
-I don’t know .
“As expected . On shouldn’t have too many friends . I have to make it work as much as possible . ”
-What?
“No, nothing . ”
Ausollet thought of Weed as a friend so it used the healing magic on him . The treatment that only a friend of a dragon would receive!
The good news was that the brainwashing operation slightly purified its arrogant nature .
“He can’t obtain freedom . All knights attack!”
The troops of the Embinyu Church headed towards the dragon . Priests and inquisitors cast their magic . The sight of Ausollet’s shields blocking the might attacks was spectacular .
But even a dragon’s mana wouldn’t last forever! Ausollet’s shields decreased one by one . He swung his claws and tail at the enemy before swallowing them . The calibre of the dragon’s attack was different .
Weed was considered a friend so Ausollet didn’t aim at him .
“Are you eating?”
-I’m hungry . Although they have a crude taste .
A dragon grumbling about its food!
‘Now, what will happen… . . ’
Weed’s brain worked as quickly as the latest computer .
‘A dragon is strong even if it doesn’t use all its battle methods . ’
Ausollet damage the people and buildings with its tail . Weed could do that after turning into a black bear but the scale of destruction was different . He could only break the buildings one by one . The armoured knights also held their durable shields .
“Sacrifice our bodies so that Embinyu can completely cleanse this fallen world . ”
Despite the shattered troops and wreckage, the Embinyu troops steadily advanced .
-Go away!
The dragon gave a powerful scream, causing air to compress and pushing back the troops and arrows .
The relatively weak fanatics were in agony and died . It was a great monster with unimaginable abilities but the Embinyu Church started counterattacking .
The senior priests starting chanting the brainwashing spell again . If Ausollet continued sitting like this then it would be easily caught .
‘It will be bad even if it isn’t caught by the Embinyu Church’s brainwashing . After a short time, it will remember its past and the peace of the continent will be at risk . ’
Ausollet’s presence itself was enough to cause fear . The Embinyu Church was also dangerous as they had a unique strength . A dragon was one of the most majestic creatures so they would quickly crush the continent if they could control it .
It would be disastrous if the worst dragon in history exerted its power . And Weed had an idea while sticking closely to the dragon .
‘Will it think bear beat is delicious?’
He could only hope that the dragon didn’t decide to eat him .
“It is like feeding a tiger . ”
-Friend, I don’t understand what you saying .
Ausollet spoke after catching a roc flying in the sky and eating it . Ausollet was relatively friendly to Weed because it thought they were friends . Perhaps they would have needed to invest money dozens of times in order for Weed to call them a good friend .
“It is nothing . Have you filled your stomach?”
-A little… I’m still hungry .
“Will you eat more monsters?”
-Right now I’m fine . I can’t eat too much at once .
“Then I’m glad . ”
In the meantime, Ausollet had devoured 100 monsters . The dragon’s head moved back and forth among the monsters without stopping .
Weed was bored while watching next to the dragon . It was like having no soybean paste in soybean paste stew or no kimchi in kimchi soup! He restored some health but it was quite slow .
“It is no fun since only the monsters are coming out . ”
His body was stuck next to the dragon so he couldn’t contribute to the battle .
‘It might be crazy but I won’t know until I try . ”
“Spread your wings . ”
-What do you mean?
“Spread your two wings and fly into the sky . You can fly . ”
Its friend said it so Ausollet spread its wings without any doubts . In the meantime, it had only spread its wings to defeat the onslaught of monsters . The elegant and perfect figure as the dragon spread its wings hundreds of metres wide .
-A familiar feeling .
Wind started blowing from every direction towards the dragon . Ausollet held its head high and lightly flapped its wings . Then its body gradually lifted from the ground .
10 metres . 20 metres . The dragon accelerated and flew into the sky!
The Embinyu Church aimed all types of magic at the dragon but it was blocked by an air shield .
A dragon that would dominate when flying in the sky!
“Flying is too easy . ”
Weed kicked against the ground and jumped . The ground started shaking when he moved . Weed grabbed onto the dragon’s ankles before rotating and landing on its back .
-This impudent thing! A foolish creature being on top of me… .
“I am your friend . Have you already forgotten?”
“Is that right?
The dragon easily accepted it!
Well, its mind wasn’t completely awake so it was easy to create a feeling of intimacy . No one knew how long this would last!
“Fly up higher . ”
-Understood .
Weed looked at the Embinyu Church as the dragon flew up high .
The speed was on an entirely different level from the wyverns . It was like comparing a three-year-old child to a surprisingly quick motorcycle!
Despite the weight of the huge black bear, the dragon didn’t seem to notice it at all and just kept flying . If he didn’t desperately hold onto the dragon’s neck then he would fall headlong into the ground .
-This is high .
“Yes, that’s right . ”
They were so high that the ground was barely visible . It was hard to even fathom the altitude .
The wind was as cold as ice . Weed would have died if he didn’t have such high resistance . There was a gleam to the dragon’s polished black scales that made it look beautiful . The proportions between harmony and danger made it absolutely beautiful .
Of course, the dragon was beautiful so the enormous bear that had its fur torn from fighting and dirty from rolling around on the ground didn’t match it .
-Now what should I do?
“It is obvious . Get revenge!”
-Revenge… . The humans who live meaningless lives have decided to choose the path of self-destruction?
The dragon aimed its nose downwards while talking . No matter how confused it was, Ausollet’s original nature still shone through .
“That’s right . ”
-I’m glad . Then I will head down to the ground .
“By the way, there is one thing that I want you to practice . ”
-What is it?
“Take a deep breath . As hard as you can . ”
He was teaching Ausollet like it was a kindergarten student . Its mouth widened and it took a deep breath through its nose and mouth . The dragon’s torso became bloated with air .
This was the dragon’s strongest attack . Black Dragon’s Breath .
-Like this?
“That practice is good enough . Then let’s go down . Your greatness… . No, I will show them that justice will win . ”
