Pick Me Up! Chapter 85

#85

85. Mission Type, Subjugation (5)

“Han, let’s try some more!”

Edith shouted from the top of the castle wall.

I shook my head. The formation collapsed as Usher and Diran died. The fact that the three survived was close to heavenly luck.

“Even if I go, it’s a dog’s death. Just watch.”

“If you don’t go…!”

“We finish by ourselves.”

Edith bit her lip. Her head hung down.

It’s not the 2nd party’s fault. Only 3 parties were not enough. If I had held out just one more time, I would have been able to deal with him much more easily.

‘It’s a gamble after all.’

I pointed the blade at Iolka.

“Light it.”

“yes?”

“The white fire in your hand. Light it.”

White flames shimmered on Iolka’s right hand.

Before the altar was occupied, it was a blessing-attribute fire that Iolka drew.

“Try adding viscosity to the flames. Can you do that?”

“I’ll mix my telekinesis.”

Iolka caught her breath and held out the white fire that had been burning in her palm to her sword.

Fire. With the sound of burning firewood, white flames dwelled in the blade.

“Once. If you amplify this, you can only use the magic once.”

Iolka said, looking at the remaining fire in her hand.

“Enough.”

“What can we do?”

“Grrr…”

The black dragon limped on one leg and came this way.

The shadows that rose from the scales were also gathering.

“Don’t let them lay a finger on Iolka.”

“Okay.”

Nerissa held out her dagger to Belquist.

Belquist accepted the dagger.

“Brother, cheer up!”

“It will happen even if you don’t say anything.”

I laughed and straightened my sword. White flames scattered in a circle.

The fire on the sword does not take long to dissipate. If that time comes and he moves normally, we will be annihilated.

“I’ll finish this time!”

bang!

He pushed himself forward, bouncing the sand with his toes.

【La Gran Infegio.】

Casting for Iolka has begun.

I ran out. The target is the area where the ballista has passed through.

“Kreur…!”

The guy lowered his wings.

‘Did you notice.’

It seemed that he noticed that he was aiming for a vital point.

It swung its claws and tail while covering the wound with its right wing. I hit the sword.

Kang!

The claws and the blade met and white flames burned.

‘The immunity message does not appear.’

I pulled out the poisoned dagger.

Then, the part on the other side of the vital point was cut with a burning longsword. The scales were torn and black blood splattered. At the same time, he cut the affected area with the dagger in his left hand.

“Gaaaaaa!”

The black dragon ran wild.

Wings, teeth, tail, claws. The guy swung in all directions without a cover. The rocks under the sand were dug up, and stone fragments flew away. I stepped back and looked behind me.

FIRE RURRR!

Iolka’s body was burning white.

The heat spread out and shook like a whirlwind.

“Get away from Iolka!”

The three people who formed a triangle around Iolka took a few steps back.

“Take care of the shadows. Don’t let them get close!”

“Of course!”

flash

Iolka’s eyes flashed blue.

The flames burning nearby added to the heat.

The gaze of the black dragon, which was swinging its limbs, turned to Iolka.

The boy’s eyes flashed and his body curled up.

‘… … come.’

I hastily drew my sword and stood in front of Iolka.

Dozens of scales shot out from the spread black dragon’s body. That target was Iolka.

The Kaga Gaga River!

He swings his sword recklessly and cuts it off. With a dagger if that’s not enough. If it is still insufficient, the body accepts it. thigh. shoulder. rib. calf. The scales that pierced the armor like paper were embedded all over the body.

[‘Han (★★)’ has fallen into a bleeding state! Stamina decreases for a certain period of time.]

“Kuk!”

My eyes became dizzy.

I gritted my teeth. The staggering body regained its posture.

“are you okay?!”

“I’m worried about you.”

‘It must have been scales like dog shit.’

Blood flowed from the puncture site.

There are spines on the surface of the scales. It was a structure that made extraction difficult and induced bleeding.

“Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

The black dragon raised its head to the sky and roared.

At the same time, the fuselage turned red. Red and black blood vessels clearly sprouted all over the body.

[Warning!]

[‘Halgiraf, the anti-black dragon’ has entered a runaway state!]

The black dragon lowered its head and looked at me. And he swung his right hand with great speed.

Whoo!

avoid A fierce piercing sound rang in the eardrums.

The floor swept by the claws cracked like tofu. As soon as he retrieved it, the claws on his left hand came down and snapped.

‘Broad!’

[‘Han (★★)’ has entered a berserk state!]

A hot heat rose up in my head.

bang!

Sword and claw collide.

I felt the pressure crushing my body. The floor I stood on was hollowed out. The black dragon’s muscles twitched. Its tail swung at an invisible speed. Instinctively block.

Dismissed!

There was a sound of a toy breaking, and Belquist’s longsword broke.

“Nerissa, sword!”

“yes!”

Charle.

The sword was delivered as it slid across the sand. got it right away White flames wriggled from the broken blade. When the sword was inserted, it moved.

bang! bang! bang!

The three swords could not withstand the three collisions and were smashed.

I looked back and cried.

“Throw everything you have!”

I moved the fire to the dagger in my left hand.

The dagger was broken through the hilt in two collisions. Immediately, Jenna’s dagger flew. the ensuing riot. Deep footprints were carved on the floor. Behind her was Iolka.

He swung his dagger.

The black dragon’s right claw flew away. Every bone and muscle in his body creaked. My face turned red.

and.

[A hero’s soul awakens in a critical situation!]

[Skill awakening!]

[‘Han (★★)’ has learned the ‘Indomitable’ skill!]

[‘Han (★★)”s ‘Brazil’ is two steps up! It has risen to Lv.6!]

“Take this too!”

Belquist’s dagger was delivered.

I set fire to it and threw away the damaged weapon. Wings swing. After dodging, I jumped on his knees. He gripped his wings with his left hand and drew down the dagger in his right hand.

support support!

The skin has become tattered.

I felt like my bones were being cut.

“Gaaaagh!”

One of the black dragon’s wings was cut off.

The right wing that fell to the floor fluttered as if it were alive.

“Looks good.”

It got faster. and got stronger

However, the scales and leather softened. enough to be torn apart with a dagger.

If so, it is possible. I smirked and held out my hand.

The black dragon struggled and crawled towards Iolka.

He swung his tail at me like a whip. trajectory is visible. he dodged The distance between Black Dragon and Iolka was only 5m. For a moment, the guy crouched down.

I immediately ran out and stood on top of the black dragon’s body, which was rolled like a ball.

I plunged the flaming dagger into the man’s long neck. hooked I grabbed the hilt of the dagger with both hands and cut the neck round.

“Shut up!”

The guy’s stance loosened in an instant.

I braced my legs and lowered the dagger.

The skin and muscles supporting the neck were torn up and down,

“Gaaaagh!”

The black dragon’s neck, with a radius of nearly 1m, flew through the sky.

[Achievement achieved!]

[‘Han (★★)’ has learned the skill ‘Slay the Dragon’!]

Push shush shoot.

Black blood spurted like a fountain from the cut in the neck.

It swung its severed head from side to side and swung its tail and claws.

[‘Han (★★)”s wide range has been cancelled.]

[‘Han(★★)’ is in a state of exhaustion. All stats are reduced by 90%.]

I lost all strength in my body.

Just as the blind claws were about to smash my head, Jenna quickly jumped in and grabbed me and pulled me back. She immediately slammed her claws down where I was.

push shot. Push shot.

The blood gushing from the black dragon’s neck added momentum.

However, the black dragon was still moving.

‘I won’t die until my heart explodes.’

“Dirty bastard.”

I murmured as I drank the potion Jenna handed me.

My whole body was wet with blood. I couldn’t tell if it was my blood or the dragon’s blood.

“I have a question for you.”

Belquist said.

I looked around. The shadows were almost tidied up. All that remains is a black dragon that loses its neck and wings and struggles. Iolka’s chanting was nearing its end.

“What.”

“Are you human?”

Belquist had a tired face.

“This is the first time I’ve seen a human tearing the throat of a dragon one-on-one in my life.”

“……What are you talking about?”

I fell sprawled

I wouldn’t have been able to move if I hadn’t gained fortitude momentarily. He coughed up and vomited dead blood.

‘I was lucky.’

skill awakening.

As the madness rose, he gained indomitability. He learned the skills appropriate to the situation just in time.

There is no strength in the whole body.

He didn’t even have the energy to stretch his finger. I took a deep breath. The area where the scales were stuck throbbed.

“Are you okay, brother? Can I not pull out the scales?”

“Don’t pull it out because it’s bleeding badly. Rather, get away from him. Take me with you.”

Jenna dragged me and distanced herself from the black dragon.

Iolka’s chanting is over.

【Inflare. Fuse.]

The 4th level of fire magic.

The black dragon’s entire body burned white. The flames that burned his body gathered around his heart and rippled in a circle. And it gradually grew.

A little sun was being made.

The sun swallowed the black dragon whole and grew to a certain size, then disappeared at some point.

Pod!

A flash of white flashed across the field.

[Stage cleared!]

[‘Han(★★)’, ‘Jenna(★★)’, ‘Iolka(★★★)’, ‘Belquist(★★)’, ‘Nerisa(★★)’, level up!]

[‘Edith(★★★)’, ‘Roderick(★★★)’, ‘Aaron(★★)’, level up!]

[Reward – 150,000G, dragon heart (lower), black dragon scales (C) X 5, black dragon bones (C) X 2, black dragon… … .]

[MVP – ‘Han(★★)’]

[Master, congratulations on clearing the 20th floor!]

[Now, the Master has graduated from being a beginner as well. All of us are also very moved. Please continue to enjoy Pick Me Up!]

[Low daily dungeons have been opened.]

[The second exploration dungeon, ‘Halseah’, has been opened.]

[Additional facilities have been opened. Please see help.]

[Among the Master’s heroes, there is a hero waiting for promotion. If you have gathered the ingredients, combine the Upgrade Stones to retrieve the forgotten pieces of memory!]

The fields on the 20th floor disappear one after another.

The soldiers on the wall became particles of light and disintegrated.

In it, I looked at the messages that came to mind one after another.

[Teeling!]

[The dimensional rift has become openable.]

“Nobody’s dead.”

“We are.”

Belquist grinned at Jenna’s words.

Light covers the whole body. I got up with Jenna’s help. The scales fell off on their own and the bleeding stopped. The vitality of the body gradually returned.

“Take care of Iolka. That guy will have a slow recovery.”

“all right.”

Jenna walked over to Iolka, who looked blank.

A flash of light blinded our vision for an instant, and we were back in the space-time gap. ha. I let out a light breath. I turned my shoulders. moved effortlessly.

‘All that’s left… … .’

Look around the circular room.

1 party of 5 people. 2 parties of 3 people.

It was over.

“15 people went, 8 people came back.”

Nerissa’s eyes softened.

‘All 3 parties are dead.’

It’s better than annihilation, but there was a big setback in fostering the sub party.

Same for the 2nd party. Edith’s face darkened.

Edith, hesitant, approached me.

“Han, I’m sorry. We couldn’t do our part…”

“What are you talking about? I woke up thanks to you.”

I whispered as I patted Edith on the shoulder.

“Take care of the party. Don’t collapse like this.”

“……huh.”

Edith, along with the other two members, escaped through the space-time gap.

Five members of Party 1 remain. Iolka, who was stretched out, left her body entrusted to Jenna. I stored the restored shield, sword, and dagger and said.

“You all worked hard. Tomorrow is a break. Do what you want to do.”

“Tomorrow, I’d like to hang out with senpai.”

“You keep quiet.”

Come out to the square on the first floor.

Isel flew in, scattering star dust. A familiar object was cradled in her chest.

[I present the ‘Warring Horse Statue’ to ‘Han(★★)’!]

Issel let out a snort.

Her white cheeks were stained red.

[Good work on the 20th floor! The cap is so cool. This is a master’s gift to our dragon slayer, God Loki!]

‘I don’t need it.’

I scratched my cheek.
