Hunting the Dragon (2)
The bone dragon, which constantly repairs itself while cracking and breaking, and the immortal king, which strikes recklessly by firing magic that penetrates the magic barrier.
A vampire that targets weak parts like the wings and interferes with your movements, a humanoid creature of unknown origin… no, even a parasite.
[Kiyaaaa——!]
In the frustrating situation, Heratos twisted his entire body again and released magical power from his entire body as he felt the irritation and anger surge through him.
Gooooo—!
The hostile magic power that poured out like a rough torrent was destructive the closer you were to it, so in order to minimize the damage, you had no choice but to get away from it.
Heinz, who had been slicing at the dragon’s body with his sharp blade, pulled the body out without any hesitation, but…
“What the heck!”
Phew—!
Harley, who had no intention of leaving this prime spot, resisted the force that tried to push her away, and dug her claws and nails into the creature’s wounds like hooks.
Pitter-patter— crackle!
A tremendous amount of magical pressure radiates from the bastard’s body.
His body, which had evolved so much that it was barely scratched, began to be torn and twisted here and there.
Even though it was a situation where a considerable amount of energy was needed to recover through “Regeneration”, Harley burst into hearty laughter despite bleeding from all over her body.
“Hahahaha! With the best health food right in front of you, a wound like this is nothing!”
By making full use of “physical mutation”, he has a mouth that is torn all the way to the ear, a jaw that extends like a snake, and even a set of saw-like teeth that grow densely inside.
Crunch! Crunch!
Harley diligently moved her mouth, devouring the dragon’s blood and flesh, without even caring about her own body being destroyed.
Those exquisite ingredients were continuously absorbed into his body with the power of “Monster Food”, and it became a huge amount of energy that regenerated his crumbling body even stronger.
And as that act continues to repeat itself…
《The individual grows by achieving the conditions. The skill “Monster Eater” evolves into the special skill “Gluttony.”》
Finally, the “Monster Eater” skill has evolved beyond its limits.
‘Well, is that natural, considering that you ate so much dragon blood and flesh?’
In order to evolve skills, each person had to have a ‘up’ that was separate from their proficiency.
And to be able to cling to the chest of a mad dragon and eat its flesh alive is already a great achievement in itself.
In addition, since she had been constantly using it to maintain Harley’s monstrous body, she must have accumulated a lot of small experiences.
I took advantage of the moment when the torrent of magical power that was pouring out of Gwangryong’s body stopped to check the information on my newly acquired skill.
“Geosik” had the effect of helping to absorb things that were difficult to digest, allowing one to eat more quickly.
It was a skill that was absolutely necessary for him, as he needed a huge amount of energy to maintain his fighting power.
The “Gluttony” that evolved this time wasn’t at that level.
‘This, the synergy with Harley is no joke?’
He lowered his gaze and looked at the dragon’s scales that were beginning to grow back from the wound.
Until now, we would just take the flesh after pulling it out…
Tsk tsk—
This time I just opened my mouth wide and bit down.
Crack!
The dragon’s scales, which were already strong to begin with, were further strengthened by the influence of ‘Madness’, to the point that even Heinz, who had surpassed Jinhyeol, had to use all his might to break them.
Kwajik! Kwajik!
It didn’t last long against Harley’s teeth and just shattered like glass.
It was thanks to the strong compensation for “gluttony” that was given only to the act of putting it in the mouth and chewing it.
And at the same time that he was devouring a part of the dragon, something that had been flowing through his body was also ripped out through that ‘eating’ act.
‘What is this?’
Its effects were immediately visible to the naked eye.
Because, unlike before, the regenerative power of the area he had bitten was noticeably reduced.
‘Isn’t this awesome?’
It didn’t end with simply eating better than before.
‘Is it possible to take on the concept of being the object of “gluttony”?’
In simple terms, he had just eaten not only Heratos’ flesh, but also the ‘regenerative power’ and ‘madness’ that resided in that area.
‘Perhaps it’s because the skill level is still low, but the effect doesn’t seem to be perfect… But for the current situation, this much is enough.’
Besides, the meaning of ‘eating and digesting thoroughly’ to him was not simple.
Let’s use “mutation” to imprint new information and use “physical mutation” based on that—.
A dark blood-red scale sprouted from one of his arms.
‘···The scales of the mad dragon.’
Originally, to make horns, you had to eat the target’s horns, and to make a tail, you had to eat the target’s tail.
Of course, the same goes for scales.
The reason we haven’t done that until now is because it’s a problem that can be solved naturally by consuming the magic stone containing all genetic information to the limit.
‘If it were before, I wouldn’t have been able to create scales until I ate the Dragon Heart.’
No matter how great the “monster” was, it was not enough to completely digest the dragon’s scales.
‘It’s not perfect yet. But with this much for one scale, the absorption efficiency has increased considerably?’
Up until now, he had been chewing on the dragon’s body and continuously evolving his body based on that information, but since it wasn’t a magic stone, the efficiency wasn’t that high.
But looking at the level of completion of the scales that have now been embodied, it seems that the absorption rate has increased several times.
The thoughts went deeper.
Harley’s “mutants” were created by collecting genes from various species with the goal of becoming fully evolved creatures.
A miraculous product created using the blood of a dragon from another world, with a personality completely different from that of the dragons here.
And in this Outerica, dragons were the species closest to the pinnacle of life.
Even now, Gwangryong has achieved a physical evolution that has surpassed the limits of an individual, having been consumed by ‘madness’···.

‘Let’s put aside the penalties that come with it.’
This body is definitely not ordinary, so Harley should be able to overcome that.
“Wow— My mouth is watering. Keuhehe!”
Of course, eating that dragon’s heart won’t make you a complete dragon.
Even if efficiency increases, there will still be some loss.
But what’s important now is.
The fact was that the Heart of the Dragon would allow Harley to get a little closer to perfection…
It just so happened that he had the ability to do it.
“Hahaha! You punk! Let me see your heart!”
An excited Harley bit the dragon’s wounds again.
With the power of “Gluttony”, he barely moved his jaw a few times, but as soon as his teeth touched it, flesh fell off and fell into his throat, where it was absorbed.
Crunch! Crunch!
He dug a hole and ate the dragon’s blood and flesh, squeezing his body into the wound.
Originally, the wound should have rapidly regenerated and prevented external intrusion, but···.
With his regenerative powers suppressed, there was nothing left that could stop him.
***
[Kyaaruk——?]
Heratos, the mad dragon who was struggling with the dragon wrapped in the black chain that Hans had summoned, felt something strange and examined his chest area.
A while ago, a humanoid was hanging on him and eating him like a bug, but he was only able to hold it back, relying on his strong body and near-infinite regenerative power.
however.
With a renewed sense of pain, something flowing through his body was torn away.
[Kiyaaaa——?!]
Blood flowing from the wound, and a noticeably slower regeneration rate than before.
The parasite hanging on his chest was slowly digging into his body and trying to reach his heart.
Gwangryong, sensing the danger, twisted his body violently, but Hans could not just leave it alone.
[Koooooo——!]
Entrasio flew up and hugged the dragon to block its hand from digging into his chest.
As the two fallen dragons continued their fierce embrace, Harley’s lower body was struggling between the bone dragon’s spread ribs and digging into its body.
[Keuhehe— Stay still. It’ll be over soon. It feels really good to think that this piece I worked so hard to create is finally being completed.]
Hans, who could be called the father who created the current Harley, spoke proudly and casted a spell to suppress the bastard again.
It had been quite a challenge for him to subdue a living, mad dragon, but now he was even feeling a sense of accomplishment.
[Kyaaaaak——!]
Whether it was because of the life-threatening situation, Heratos began to act more crazy than ever before.
In response, the surrounding madness gathered once again, further strengthening the bastard’s body.
Splash! Splash!
Bulging muscles and wildly burning crimson magic.
The mad dragon Heratos bit and tore at Enthrasio, who was embracing him, and twisted his entire body.
At the same time, he adjusted his body to tighten his muscles in order to kill the parasite that had dug into his chest, and even risked harming his own body by directly projecting high-density magical power into his body…
It was still digging in, little by little…
Kwaaaaang! Kwaddeuk!
Gwangryong’s rebellion grew stronger as he realized that it was difficult to remove the parasites.
Entrasio focused only on clinging to the bastard, pouring all his magic power into defense and repair.
Because of that, they were unable to put up much of a fight and were gradually falling apart, but the one in a more urgent situation was Heratos.
[Hoooooooo——]
It was so urgent that he even appeared to be using his breath.
but.
“Are you planning to use your breath at such close range? I guess you really can’t see anything anymore.”
Heinz II was already waiting under the bastard’s chin.
Fully prepared, even using “concealment” and “transparency.”
“I’m saying this because it seems like I haven’t done much. Even if the opponent is a dragon, it would hurt my pride if it ended like this.”
The large bloody greatsword in his hand rippled quietly.
The sword, into which all of the extra blood that had been collected for the purpose of using the “Refined Blood” had been invested, was filled with Heinz’s blood-sucking factor that had evolved to its limit due to the influence of “Mixed Evolution”—.
It was the best medium to bring out the effect of “Mystery of Blood” to the extreme.
‘You don’t even care. Are you out of your mind, or do you think it’s okay to leave it like this?’
Considering his powers of detection, he should be able to detect Heinz’s “concealment” with just a little concentration.
In this situation, he only showed himself restraining Hans and Entracio, and did not even pay attention to him.
Either way, you’ll regret it.
His blood-red glowing eyes “see through” the flow of magical power flowing to use his breath.
It was impossible to completely see through the body of the light dragon due to the difference in level, but if there was such a strong flow of magical power, there was no need to look at it in such detail.
‘There you are.’
Heinz slowly moved the sword to his left waist and grabbed it with both hands.
It was the preparatory stance for swordsmanship that Heinrich had learned through “Comprehensive Weapon Techniques”.
‘I couldn’t possibly follow the “Logia Fighting Technique”, but I’m grateful for this much.’
Anyway, what I was doing now didn’t require that much swordsmanship.
just.
———!
Just use “Acceleration” to cut it down with full power.
The moment he swung it, the long, whip-like blood sword split the space sharply—.
The tip of the sword, which had surpassed the speed of sound, smoothly passed over the dragon’s neck without any noise.
and.
After a very short while.
Swaaaah——!
Kukukung—!
A shockwave spreads along the sword’s trajectory, accompanied by the sound of air being torn apart.
Puhwaaaaak—!
Half of Gwangryong’s large neck was cut off, and blood poured out like a waterfall.
[Khuuuuk——?!]
In addition, the magical power that had been concentrated to breathe out through that place also burst out.
Needless to say, the aftermath left an already fatal wound in tatters.
[Ugh, ugh——?!]
The most damaged dragon so far staggered around, unable to come to his senses.
But even at that moment, the wound was quickly healing…
‘It’s disgusting that he can regenerate even this level of fatal injury.’
Heinz clicked his tongue lightly, recovering as much of the used blood as he could and storing it in his body.
Of course, even he, who has “super regeneration”, could do that much, but honestly, isn’t that kind of regeneration ability unfair for someone his size?
‘Well, it doesn’t matter anymore.’
Yeah, now it didn’t matter whether he played or not.
Harley.
Because we were finally right in front of the bastard’s heart.
