chapter 31
031. Combat (1).
With the words of the Dragonian, a change occurred.
The fog around him began to suck madly into his body.
“The wound… .”
It can be seen at a glance that it is rapidly healing.
‘It’s changed… .’
However, in the current situation, there was a bigger problem.
It would be fortunate if the wounds simply healed, but changes came to his body as well.
The man, who was small for a man, had grown in size.
His skin, which had green spots all over his body, soon turned green, reminiscent of a goblin.
‘It would be impossible to escape now… ?’
Xian glanced at the road behind him and gave up.
I don’t know if it was a little while ago.
It would be unreasonable to run away from a guy who not only has already recovered from his wounds, but also has undergone major changes in his body.
‘Unless the change in appearance is simply a decoration… .’
Xian remembered Drake.
It was already too far away, but it was the only place I could trust now.
‘Let’s buy some time… .’
It’s none other than that Drake.
And if there is a chance, there is also Hughes.
Of course, it would have been impossible to earn time alone, but fortunately Xian is not alone now.
‘There is Leah.’
Leah, who is unable to demonstrate her true abilities due to the poison energy, will be of great help as she did in the previous battle.
It was when I thought Xi’an would be a pretty tough time.
Out of nowhere, his body froze.
Kiririririk.
‘Fast… .’
It’s been faster before, but it’s much faster than that.
It seems that the change in appearance was not a simple decoration.
“Keugh… .”
The same was true for strength.
I almost lost my sword in an instant due to the ignorant power.
It was when Xian, who had been pushed back several times longer than the previous battle, received the Dragonian’s continuous attack again.
Leah dug into his side.
Perhaps because it was a Dragonian that had already had a hole in it, Leah swung the attack that was meant to be aimed at Xian.
“ostrich… !”
The earth-shattering arm split the approaching Leah in half.
Xian thought as he watched Leah being neatly cut in half from the top of his head.
‘wealth… It must have been an alter ego.’
Leah’s main body is the back of the Dragonian.
However, perhaps because it had already happened to her once, the Dragonian, who noticed that it was an illusion like Xian, twirled in place and shook off Leah with his sharp claws.
The one-time battle was cut off, and Xian reprimanded himself for being foolish.
‘I should have rushed in earlier… .’
When Leah’s illusion disturbed the Dragonian’s eyes.
I should have jumped in then, but I didn’t.
‘Who are you foolishly worrying about… .’
It was painful to know that he had missed an opportunity that might never come again because he was worried about Leah, who was clearly stronger than he was.
It was the very next moment when the guy, who was watching the two people surrounding him with the Dragonian between them, moved.
‘Lea… .’
He rushed in at once, as if he had decided to deal with Leah, who was annoying in many ways, rather than Xian.
Xian hurriedly ran towards the spacious back of the dragonian.
“Do not come!”
It was then that Xian flinched and stopped walking.
In an instant, something quickly passed in front of my neck.
It was the long tail of a guy who had been born before he knew it.
Apparently, it was a calculation to pretend to be aiming for Leah from the beginning and aim for herself who was chasing her.
The Dragonian slipped away from Leah and said as if he was sorry.
“You’re a quick-witted kid… How did know?”
“Snow… Because it wasn’t directed at me.”
If it wasn’t for Leah’s base, Xian remembered himself who would have been put to death.
‘If only I had been one step faster… .’
neck fell
I knew it, but when I realized that a momentary misjudgment could lead to death, my saliva dried up.
Leah’s voice came just in time to Xian, who was slightly cowering.
“draft.”
As Sian looked at Leah, the words continued.
“I’ll do it myself.”
“uh… uh?”
To be honest, it’s sweet to say, but it’s also true that I’m worried about Leah.
“alone?”
“… … .”
Leah silently nodded.
It was clear that a decision had already been made.
Do you have a corner to believe in?
“I think this would be better.”
“… okay.”
I don’t know what it was, but Xian withdrew.
And I felt miserable for not knowing what it was.
It was because it was clear that Leah had judged herself out of power in the current situation.
Rather, I couldn’t help but be ashamed of myself for being in a position to catch my ankle.
The Dragonian, who had been watching all the conversation, sneered.
“It was annoying because it was just the two of us, but I’m just grateful that each of us will take care of it. Are you going to fight alone?”
“You are not alone.”
The startled Dragonian spilled a cyan.
However, Xi’an was still far away.
The dragonian, who wanted to be tricked, checked Leia again, but it was the same this time.
Leah also stood there.
The dragonian’s ridicule deepened.
“You’re stupid, if you had taken advantage of it earlier, you would have caught yourself off guard.”
Certainly not.
But that was the story when the Dragonian’s reaction was within Leah’s calculations.
Because it was just a fleeting moment when he turned his attention to Xian.
Leah took a deep breath.
“Take a good look at Xian. If it’s Xi’an, you can do it.”
Take a good look? what?
‘Isn’t it simply an out-of-power decision? Or maybe there’s some hidden meaning behind what I just said… .’
But no matter how deeply I thought about it, there was nothing like that.
No, at least Xian’s head couldn’t figure it out.
‘What the hell… .’
It was time for Xian to ponder the meaning of Leah’s words.
“uh… ?”
Leah’s mana disappeared from Xian’s senses.
* * *
‘what… what?’
As soon as Leah’s presence disappeared, Xian checked Leah again.
However, nothing changed.
Leah was still standing there, and didn’t even seem to have moved a step.
‘Come to think of it, the sound of breathing… .’
Leah’s breathing, which had always been in a state of hecticness, had become even.
By that point, since I was looking with my own eyes, I could tell that Leah was there, and if I wasn’t looking, even Xian wouldn’t notice.
‘About 50m… ?’
Leah’s distance was far if it was far, and if it was close, it was close, but anyway, when Xian was this far away, he could notice that Dragonian’s approach.
In other words, at least the ability to hide his presence was that Leah was better than him.
Perhaps because of that, the Dragonian seemed very flustered.
“It’s an interesting trick.”
“… … .”
There was no reply from Leah.
He just quietly raises one corner of his mouth.
The dragonians, who were clearly ridiculed, rushed in and attacked Leah.
“hmm… ?”
Unfortunately, the man’s attack cut through the air.
It wasn’t like there were afterimages or anything like that before.
However, at some point, Leah left the place.
“Thank you for throwing me here like this. If it were me, I would have thrown it into the lake or broken it.”
It was at the lakeside that Leah’s voice was heard.
I was picking up the sword that had been properly thrown after pulling out the sword that the guy had been stuck in earlier.
‘At some point, until there… .’
Xian could be sure of one thing.
At least something has changed in Leah.
The Dragonian said that he didn’t like Leah’s arrogant expression.
“Do you think holding that sword will make a difference?”
“well… So I will try.”
Holding the sword, Leah instantly appeared in front of the Dragonian’s nose and swung it.
squeak.
Blood spurted from the back of the dragonian.
When the Dragonian slammed her hand down, Leah, who let the attack flow this time, slashed her twice in quick succession.
Blood splattered from his thighs, followed by blood dripping from his neck.
It has been the same ever since.
The man’s attacks were blocked by Leah every time and could not exert its power, and Leah increased the wounds on the Dragonian’s body each time.
‘but… It’s not fatal… .’
As the distance is close, the power to wield cannot be great.
In a normal case, it wouldn’t be strange to die instantly if three or four hits were hit, but the problem is that the opponent is a Dragonian.
It was also a dragonian that boasted extraordinary resilience.
Thanks to that, the match was getting very long.
‘By the way Leah is strong… .’
It really showed what it was like to overwhelm an opponent.
If it was something like this, even if he didn’t have himself from the beginning, it would have been enough.
‘But what did Leah say she was looking at?’
I’m looking at it, but I’m still wondering.
I judged that there was no hidden meaning, but I wondered what to do if it wasn’t really meant to be watched.
Thinking whether he should intervene now, Xian shook his head.
‘You fight so well… .’
I judged that I could interfere with the flow and mess things up.
If you push yourself like this, even a Dragonian with monstrous resilience will have no choice but to lie down.
‘hmm… ?’
Is it an illusion… ?
Leah’s movements felt a bit dull.
When you let go of his attacks and cut a lot, up to three times in a row, Leah’s number of attacks has been significantly reduced.
Of course, the dragonian’s resilience seemed to be gradually showing the bottom, and it could be seen that it was slowly healing, but even so, it was seen that Leia’s speed was reduced more seriously.
And when Xian watched closely, after a while, Leah opened the distance for the first time to avoid the Dragonian’s attack.
‘It wasn’t an illusion.’
I couldn’t even see her expression because she was exchanging attacks with the big dragonian, but before I knew it, Leah’s face was covered with sweat.
‘Even now… .’
It was time to think about whether to jump in at once and attack the back of the dragonian.
“Whoop… .”
Leah took a deep breath and then spat it out. Then he opened his eyes with stern eyes.
To say that he had given up yet showed determination.
The Dragonian, who instinctively sensed that the crisis had passed, sneered.
“I don’t know what it is, but it seems that the jokes are over at this point.”
“Biyoung… rampant.”
“what… ? big??”
When the wound opened on his right arm out of nowhere, the Dragonian hurriedly found Leia.
Leah was already standing in the back.
“At some point… ? big… .”
The Dragonian stumbled.
Something grazed me twice, leaving wounds on my legs and back.
It’s hard to believe, but it must have been Leah.
But Leah’s attack did not end there.
Leah, whose attacks were getting faster and faster to match the name of Byeongnanmura, began to slash in all directions in all directions.
dump.
After the rough sword dance, like a gust of wind, the Dragonian knelt down.
The dragonian, whose whole body was in disrepair, swallowed the pain.
“Big uh… .”
But the same goes for Leah.
Perhaps she had poured in all the energy she had been sucked into by a single blow, but she collapsed to the ground and was breathing heavily.
Sian noticed the green spots growing on Leah’s skin and ran quickly.
“Come… mind!”
I remembered the situation where I almost lost my life earlier, so I checked the dragonian, but the dragon finally woke up from the pain and got up, nothing special.
It was when Xian looked at Leah again, wondering why he was telling her not to come.
said Leah.
“From here… Xian has to… . If I can… I wanted to build it, but… .”
“… … .”
“Did you see? You can’t make a mistake.”
I knew what you meant to see.
‘You really meant to just look… .’
Xian grumbled.
“… Neither you nor your grandfather overestimated me. Can you imitate such a great thing just by seeing it once?”
Xian let out a deep sigh and looked at the dragonian who was glaring at him.
“I’ll do my best though.”
