Evan D. Sherden Goes on An Expedition (4)

Like most media dealing with dragons, there was no hesitation in putting dragons as one of the absolute beings in the Yo-Ma Great War series.

A dragon had a heart known for spewing out infinite mana, a huge body that could easily crush the skin, and bones that were harder than any other metal. Who would dare confront such a perfect entity with both magic and physical supremacy? If there were such beings, it would only be their party. Only they could possibly destroy such a monster.

– A dirty, filthy human being has unleashed dirty, noisy worms in my still nest!

“But why is there a living dragon?”

Unlike other floors, Evan murmured absurdly as he looked down at the dragon, which was busy crying out. It was particularly large and wide, with blood-film wings stretching a hundred meters wide.

Of course, there were stories everywhere about surviving dragons hiding in many parts of the world. There was even a rumor that there was a living dragon on the 97th floor of the Sherden Dungeon.

‘But that’s a lie.’

When playing Yo-Ma Great War 3 and 4, Sherden Dungeon had been cleared up to the bottom 100th floor, but he could not find any dragon. In other words, dragons did not appear in any of the Yo-Ma Great War games after Yo-Ma Great War Zero.

But how could he not be embarrassed when something so rare showed up in Steama’s small dungeon?

Every time a new series came out, he thought something was off, but he didn’t know it was the dragon waiting at the end!

-There you are, you filthy human bastards! I’ll bring you death myself!

He was curious about the background story of how the dragon was here, but he decided to give up because he didn’t think the dragon would answer his inquiries easily. At this, Evan looked back at Mirole and opened his mouth.

“Mirole, what do you think?”

“The chance to get a dragon’s body is rare. Let’s try to hold it as intact as possible.”

Mirole answered as if she had been waiting for Evan’s question this entire time, and all the party members except her staggered. Shouldn’t the proper concern be, whether to fight or retreat? However, Evan simply nodded at her response.

“Yes. I think there’s a limited number of parts to loot, but…”

“….Master?”

“You don’t even think so, Evan?”

Raihan looked back at Evan as if he couldn’t believe his ears. Arisha stopped screaming because she just felt dumbfounded at this point.

“I wouldn’t have thought about it if it wasn’t for Mirole, but now we have her. Mirole, can you protect me from death?”

“It’s not that difficult to do.”

“Evan? That’s a dragon, a legend!”

-Come down!

The moment Arisha retorted to Evan, the dragon, unable to withstand the fact that the petty humans were looking down on it, finally showed its magic. Its magic was unique to the Dragon family, and was referred to as Dragon Language Magic. It was a powerful type that expressed the power of language through text and voice.

“Spirit-”

However, the idiomatic magic never came true. As soon as Mirole shouted briefly, a strong wind from somewhere neatly scattered the mana that was trying to work on their bodies.

All of the party members looked surprised at what happened.

“A High Elf is also a legend. Anyway, it’s a good opportunity, so let’s deal with it properly… I’m sorry that I couldn’t bring Serena. If I had her, she might have been able to tame it.”

“Master…”

“Hyeong, I’m happy.”

Evan winked at Raihan with a faint look and pointed at the dragon, which could be seen opening his mouth wide.

“You have a chance to surpass your ancestors.”

“What do you mean by my ancestors? …Oh!”

Raihan, who instinctively asked back, suddenly remembered that he had told Evan about his family’s history before. A long time ago, his ancestors stopped a dragon and established territory, creating the family of Drukas…

It was quite touching that Evan still remembered it, but he didn’t want to hear it now!

“Me? Against it?”

“It’s flying. Get your shield up, you can stop its upcoming attack! Watch out for Breath.”

“I don’t think I can stop something like that… Whoa, I don’t know!”

Raihan clenched his teeth and held his shield in the air. Mirole tactfully provided wind support in the form of a foothold.

-If you’re not going to come down until you’ve become ash, I’ll burn you just like this!

Shortly after the dragon’s intense murderous message hit their ears first, the breath of the flames, which flew almost in a straight line, had gotten stuck in Raihan’s shield.

Fortunately, the guardian’s protection was being invoked, but it felt all the more frightening.

“Hoo, hoo……!”

Raihan’s arm that was wielding the shield trembled from the overwhelming heat and pressure of the flames. As Evan said, he quickly blocked Breath, although he had no idea if it would work initially.

However, it was true that he was now enduring the stress of a real dragon. He didn’t even have to back up; he went face-first!

“Oh, my…!”

The heat from its breath could not be completely contained, but fortunately, the wind that Mirole had created prevented it from doing any further damage.

“If you look at it, this is also a form of shield training.’

Raihan managed to withstand its breath with the determination to become more skilled in shield arts. It wasn’t only Evan but also Mirole who felt amazed at the sight.

“I didn’t think there was anyone else who could stop that…”

“You didn’t support him, did you?”

“It was only to reduce the heat. Of course, I would have stepped up right away if I thought he was behind, but he didn’t need it.”

At first, he seemed to be blocking it with difficulty, but he was getting used to it little by little. Now, Evan could see that he had become confident with his blocking. Raihan’s shield was evolving again at this moment!

-You’re a bug, and yet you’re blocking my attack…!

The breath attack was cut off for a moment. However, it was just a diversion for a bigger attack.

He wondered if the huge dungeon was shaking, but there were several large sparks in the air this time. A flame tinged out, Belois murmured still at it.

“Hell Fire…”

“It’s a flame that captures the heat of the mana. I’ll stop it.”

“…No, I’ll do it.”

Belois understood the situation as she watched Raihan stop the dragon’s breath. The opportunity to confirm her abilities against the dragon, while being protected by Mirole, could not be missed!

-Let’s see if you can stop this!

“Whoa…… Huh!”

Although the only thing that the Blood Witch could handle in the game was the flame attribute, Belois was a different person now. She drew the mana of her body for a short moment, manifesting the strongest ice magic she could unfold with her eyes half-open.

She visualized a dot-sized piece of ice appearing in front of the party, and huge ice crystals spread out around it, becoming a shield for them. Soon after, the Hell Fire flew into the ice crystals.

“Hmm……!”

The ice crystals that blocked the Hell Fire were slowly being dissipated from the end, but when Belois injected additional mana, the ice grew back from the center and restored to its full form.

“Lua, can you hold on?”

“Yes, it’s possible. And…”

Belois, who blocked all seven waves, took a deep breath and expressed magic again.

Foxfires seemed to rise around her, and soon she gathered them together.

“Thanks to you, I got a good one.”

“…”

It wasn’t quite Hellfire, but regardless, Belois bombarded the dragon without any hesitation!

-Arghhh! How dare you try to imitate me! You’re such a scumbag!

The dragon got angrier and again created a huge flame, but surprisingly, Belois’ foxfires were not pushed back by it! She had managed to learn and analyze the Hell Fire!

Evan, watching the two flames wrestle, felt that the time had come for him.

“Arisha, let’s go.”

“We’re going…?”

“It’s okay. Raihan will stop the attack.”

“You mean me..? All right, let’s do that!”

“Alright.”

Raihan’s confidence had evidently risen after stopping a dragon’s breath!

Arisha sighed when she found out that she had no choice but to go and ride with the momentum.

“Yeah yeah, I didn’t think there would be a day where I would be dealing with a dragon…”

“Then, I’ll go first. Hyeong, please keep tanking!”

“Yes, sir!”

Promptly, Mirole led the Spirit of Wind. Raihan jumped on the ground first with a shield, followed by Evan and Arisha. Belois was by the rear, creating an additional foxfire.

-Ha, you must have gained confidence that you were lucky enough to stop my flame. Stupid things, I’ll let you know your place!

Evan looked at Arisha. At this, Arisha waved her hand hurriedly on the ground, which had already become a boiling lava zone, laying the path of the wind.

At the same time, the group landed on it and instinctively looked up. The dragon looked down at them with an angry look on its face.

“It’s huge. It’s huge…!”

“I think it’s well over 100 meters.”

“Hmm!”

Without saying anything, Raihan immediately stepped forward and blocked it. Boom! A terrible sound of shock spread, but Raihan didn’t step back.

“I can block it! I think I can taunt the attack to only me!”

-Argh……!?

The dragon felt embarrassed when its attack – designed to wipe up the whole party – turned out to only focus on Raihan.

“Okay, Hyeong. Keep blocking it!”

Indeed, Drukas’ name was not rusty. Evan smiled and activated his boots.

The dragon’s eyes opened wide after sensing a runaway of mana. There was a woman who replicated the Hell Fire, a man who stopped Breath, and now there was another man who dealt with magic that went beyond the devil……!?

-You are not a human!

“Arisha, are you ready?”

“Oh, my God. But at least I’m with Evan when I die…….”

“You are not going to die.”

There was only one person who could deal with a perfect species, the Dragon. It was the ancient ’Demon Master’.

Evan clenched his fist in remembrance of Yo-Ma Great War Zero. Now, the time had come to start hunting.
