Chapter 263: Sword Saint Making Ramyeon

Chapter 263: Sword Saint Making Ramyeon

Poison Dragon Ambacca was a special dragon. Up until now, he had repeatedly been killed before being reborn from an egg each time. Poison Dragon Ambacca was a dragon that could not die. Once his egg was formed, he would be reborn with all of his memories intact. Immortal. Perhaps that was the term that was apt for his situation.

Even so, Poison Dragon Ambacca was shocked to see the man standing up again after he had received his attack that was strengthened by the Dragon Orb. When the man finally stood up, a faint breeze began to blow from the sword of the man who was slowly standing up. Hundreds of falling silver leaves also began to flutter from all over the place.

“Fluttering Sword.”

The wind that blew from his sword swept the falling leaves as they rained down on Ambacca.

Pipipi―

When one of the leaves grazed Ambacca’s body, green blood slowly dripped down from the injury.

Kiyaaaaaaack!

At the same time, the Dragon Orb appeared and disappeared from Poison Dragon Ambacca’s mouth once again.

[Dragon Orb.]

[Instantly doubles your defense.]

Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang―

The black scales covering Poison Dragon Ambacca’s body had become sturdier and firmer than before. Ambacca quickly flew out as he ignored the rapid influx of the falling leaves.

Pipipipipipipipipipipipi―

He believed that those falling leaves would not be able to penetrate and tear through his hardened skin. Just like he expected…

Thwack, thwack, thwack, thwack!

…the falling leaves that grazed his scales were easily blown away. Ambacca’s defense had already exceeded 6,000. With the help of the doubled defense, it instantly became over 10,000. It was truly a formidable defense. Of course, it was only because it was increased through the use of the Dragon Orb, and it was a given that there were limitations to this ability. At the very least, he believed that he could tear the neck of the man that stood up again before it wore off. But…

Piii―

Kiyeeeeeeee!

Even though Ambacca flew fiercely with his strengthened defense, the leaves kept on fluttering towards him. They even dug deep into his skin after penetrating through his scales, before disappearing. In his pain, he could not help but let out a scream.

Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang!

The leaves still continued to stab into his body.

‘But what did he say a while ago?’

Then…

Pipipi―

Graaaaaaaaaaaa!

Several falling leaves stuck to him as warm blood started to flow down from his body.

‘This punk… I will not lose to this punk…’

A terrible death always awaited Poison Dragon Ambacca, but this person right in front of him was just like a ghost of his past. What was worse was the fact that his poison did not work on him at all. The ghost of his past was none other than ‘Conir’. Although Minhyuk was unaware, Conir was special even among all of the chimeras. His ‘Ten Thousand Poison Resistance’ had allowed him to completely ignore poisons. In addition, the ability that allowed Minhyuk to tear through Ambacca’s defenses was none other than the ‘Intangible Sword’. Hence, a terrible death would still await him.

‘You can’t take away my Dragon Orb…!’

The Dragon Orb…

The only dragon that could live forever was Poison Dragon Ambacca. The other dragons would completely lose their memories as they leave behind their eggs before being reborn as children. This was the fate of the other dragons after their death.

Although they might not have remembered it, during the time when the Four Legendary Dragons were all gathered together, they would lose part of their energy forever and would not be able to regain them again. Their energies were then received by an artifact called the ‘Dragon Orb’. The Dragon Orb was a special artifact that contained all of the energy and power of the four dragons.

The reason why Ambacca was the one tasked to protect the Dragon Orb was that he was the only one among them that would be reborn as a fully grown adult with his memories intact. He was the best choice for protecting such a special artifact.

The Dragon Orb was something that could not be kept by the guardians. It was an item that could only be kept by foreigners. The person in front of him was clearly a foreigner. Ambacca did not know the reason for this, but this was a system that was set up by the game Athenae.

Despite the pain tearing through his body, Ambacca still flew fiercely and swung his tail strongly. Once again, the Dragon Orb appeared and disappeared from his mouth. At the same time, a light flashed at the end of his tail.

The Dragon Orb was the crystallization of the powers of all four of the legendary dragons, although it only contained the dragons’ partial strength. However, the strength that was available for Ambacca, the third dragon in ranking, was the power of the fourth dragon.

This was the power of the fourth dragon, ‘Cracana of Destruction’. It could temporarily triple his tail’s attack power.

Baaaaaaaaang―!

The man flew back after being directly hit by his strengthened tail. Ambacca did not miss a single moment as he opened his huge maw to devour the man.

Crack― crack―

‘Brothers, I will definitely protect this Dragon Orb!’

Ambacca felt lonely. He missed his older brothers. However, he still continued to protect the Dragon Orb alone.

“Urk!”

Just as he was about to bite down again, the man’s sword suddenly emitted a red light.

***

[Your HP has fallen below 80%.]

[Critical hit!]

[Your HP has fallen below 50%.]

“Urk!”

Minhyuk’s body was constantly being bitten. Ambacca’s speed was incredibly fast and it was quite hard to get out of his mouth since he had such a mighty bite strength. He kept on targeting Minhyuk’s neck, and the latter was only able to hold out by hitting or blocking Ambacca’s chin with his left arm. However, Minhyuk could not hold on any longer.

Finally, the cast time for Sword of Fury was over. Minhyuk made sure to stab the ferocious and chaotic force in the mouth of the bastard. He wanted to rip Ambacca’s head off through his mouth.

Splurt!

[You have succeeded in stabbing a vital point.]

[100% additional damage!]

Minhyuk stuck the sword directly in Ambacca’s mouth. After all, there was no other vital point that he could stab except for the mouth.

Kiyeeeeeeeeeek!

The dragon started to thrash around due to the pain. However, the effects of the Sword of Fury was still not done. The strong wind that could tear apart anything within a two-meter radius rampaged inside the dragon’s mouth.

Shwaaaaaaaaa―

The dragon’s mouth was torn apart by the horrendous storm that rampaged inside.

Kyaaaaaack!” Poison Dragon Ambacca roared in despair. He was struggling so much from the pain that he fell down to the ground. However, he still persevered to fly back up again. He was desperately struggling.

Minhyuk could see the tears falling from the eyes of the dragon. The dragon was desperately trying to squeeze out every last bit of strength that was in his body.

[You have seen the Dragon’s Tears.]

[Your resistance to poison will increase by 50% for one week as an effect of witnessing the tears of a dragon.]

It was meaningless for Minhyuk since he already had a body that was immune to ten thousand poisons. In any case, the dragon still struggled desperately.

“Have to… protect… for my brothers… dragon orb…”

Once upon a time, when the Dragons of Beginnings were still gathered, the four dragons happily spent their time together. However, that moment would never happen again. He was not even aware if the other dragons had awakened already.

However, Minhyuk interpreted things differently. He thought, ‘Did this guy not want something like this either?’

Conir had told him that the Poison Dragon Ambacca would die and revive. He had also attacked him using different patterns. From his words, Minhyuk could deduce that his memories remained intact after his rebirth.

‘Who would ever want to do something like this, anyway?’

Minhyuk, who had seen other dragons from his father, Black Dragon, knew that they were gentle and loyal creatures. However, regardless of his thoughts, the dragon in front of him succumbed to his death. In the end, Ambacca could not stand the fatal blow that he had received in the mouth.

[You have gained 8,317,842 EXP.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have successfully hunted Poison Dragon Ambacca.]

[You have acquired the Dragon Orb.]

[You have acquired the egg of Ambacca, one of the four legendary dragons.]

[You have acquired Poison Dragon Ambacca’s Cursed Dagger.]

‘Egg? Dragon Orb?’

Minhyuk could not help but be confused, especially because of the egg. He knew that one of the reasons why Ambacca could be reborn through his egg was because they would sacrifice a man with a high, pure holy power, or so he had been told.

‘But why is the egg still here?’

He was not aware of this, but Ambacca’s egg could still be acquired even if he did not devour a man with holy power. However, the power to produce chimeras had now disappeared.

At that moment, Minhyuk thought of someone, ‘Will my dad like it if I gave this to him?’

The guy inside the egg had always kept his memories intact. If that was the case, then, would he be willing to serve Minhyuk?

‘No, I’d rather give him to my dad.’

After all, his father, Black Dragon, was already well known as the ‘Legendary Dragon Taming Master’. He felt that it would be better if his father was the one to take on this egg.

Then, he went ahead and checked the Dragon Orb.

?Sealed.

Description: This is the sacred dragon orb created by the four legendary dragons. The orb will continue to evolve with each increase of dragon owned by the player in possession of the orb.

Minhyuk was surprised when he saw that it was an artifact that could evolve but he was taken aback after he saw that it could also evolve a dragon.

‘Wow. I think my dad will really like this, right?’

Especially because his dad was already the owner of two dragons, so the moment he received the Dragon Orb, the orb would immediately become a lot stronger.

Finally, he checked Poison Dragon Ambacca’s Cursed Dagger. Minhyuk’s eyes widened in surprise when he saw the information about the dagger.

Minhyuk was grinning widely, a scenario already hatching in his head.

***

After a few hours, Barchel and the three knights who accompanied him leisurely went back to the Dungeon of Sin after having a satisfying meal.

“Deputy Tower Master Barchel.”

Fufufufu.?Don’t say that. I’m still not the deputy tower master.”

“Won’t it happen soon?”

“De. Pu. Ty. To. Wer. Mas. Ter. Barchel.”

Barchel was grinning widely. He would definitely receive a lot of benefits if he became the deputy tower master.

Everything was going smoothly. After he had received the Essence of Flavor, then his class would be upgraded. He swaggered happily as he pushed the rock that they used to block the entrance to the dungeon.

Then, he saw the egg on the altar with the Cup of Essence, and could not help but whistle happily.

Whistle~?The poor kids had been eaten~ Where did the chimeras go?”

He giggled happily as he thought about drinking the water that filled the Cup of Essence. Perhaps he had stumbled upon the platform of ‘awakening’ that he had heard from the rumors. There had been rumors circulating recently that a lot of players had reached their limits. However, Athenae had prepared a new class that provided new content every day. This was a class that could help their existing class become stronger. Perhaps, it was him that was going to be the first of a kind.

Just as he was about to reach the Cup of Essence, he could see a sword pointing at his neck.

“Woah, woah. Is there an uninvited guest?”

Barchel’s brows furrowed in annoyance. The knights were flustered when they saw a sword hanging in the air. It was none other than the invisible Minhyuk.

“A… player?”

Barchel was surprised but he still remained calm. After all, they were plenty in numbers. The knights behind him would definitely not lose ground if they fought against the mysterious man, so he trusted their strength. Even if their levels were lower, he was sure that their strength would still be above their opponent.

On the contrary, this mysterious man had just finished a fight against Ambacca. Barchel was sure that he would have lost a lot of stamina in his fight against Ambacca. His skills would still be under cooldown too.

Barchel, who was second to, or perhaps on par with Carr, was confident that he could avoid this man’s attacks easily.

“The children were crying of hunger… Weren’t you ashamed that you did something like this because of your greed?”

“Woah, woah. Let’s be honest, shall we?”

Barchel shrugged his shoulders. He said, “Didn’t you come here to get something too? Those NPCs are just artificial intelligence so what’s the big deal?”

He was pretending that he was trying to persuade the mysterious man, but he quickly pulled out his sword as he tried to widen the distance between them.

“What does it matter to us, players, whether an artificial intelligence dies or not? Huh?”

The man fell silent for a moment before asking Barchel, “Have you ever been hungry?”

“What?”

“Please let me eat something, anything. Have you ever begged for something in your life?”

Barchel’s brows furrowed deeply.

‘What the hell is this guy talking about? Is there anyone that goes hungry in Korea these days?’

Barchel grew up in a wealthy family, so he was clueless about the harshness of reality.

“…Hunger. Well, that’s not that big of a deal, right?” Barchel answered him lightly.

The man who had his sword around his neck, Minhyuk, could see that Barchel was taking this situation lightly. The latter was devoid of any guilt from his despicable actions.

“Then, from now on, I will show you something that will make your face distorted in despair.”

Hmm.”

Barchel grasped the hilt of his sword tightly.

‘Make my face distorted? In a situation where our chances of winning are very high? Unless he’s someone on par with Carr?’

If that was not the case, then his face would not be distorted. No, he thought that he should roughly agree with him.

“I’m the Frying Pan Killer.”

“…!”

At that moment, Barchel’s lax and carefree expression suddenly hardened. The hairs all over his body stood on end and his mouth dried up in tension.

Then, Minhyuk said coldly, “For being such an adult… Shame on you.”
