Chapter 272

Large-scale raid (1)

Vinas instinctively knew.

That a power she should be wary of had awakened in her living area.

In other words, in this world.

Kroarararara!

Numerous emotions were mixed in Vinas’s roaring heart.

A desire to win, wariness, worry, fighting spirit…

And annoyance.

She hadn’t been born long ago yet.

So she was weaker than she thought.

Much weaker.

In order to evolve to a higher stage, she had to achieve a certain level of destruction.

But she hadn’t even filled 0.000000001% yet.

And that wasn’t all?

[Name: Vinas]

[Energy: 0/9,999]

She didn’t even have any energy left.

In that situation, she felt that the opponent was aware of her.

“Oh my gosh. What’s wrong, Vinas? Why are you suddenly like this?”

The master who had just come out of the Dungeon called her.

“Is it because of the Dragon? Are you recognizing it now? Wow, it’s happening across the Pacific Ocean…”

As expected, master.

Like her mother, she must be feeling the power far away.

Kirrereu, growl!

Vinas let out a worried cry.

She could feel the terrible power of the predator far away.

She felt an overwhelming power that she and her master couldn’t handle even if they joined forces.

If they were to face that guy now, they would only get beaten up, regardless of breath or anything else.

Even though he was a Dragon of a lower class than her.

A Dragon was still a Dragon.

“Don’t worry too much, Vinas.”

Hmm, don’t worry?

Even though I’m a race crazy about destruction, that’s on a different level, isn’t it?

“We promised, didn’t we? That I would raise you to be unconditionally good and virtuous.”

Umm.

Everything’s good, but…

To catch that, I need to grow more…

“Stay out of this for a while. I’ll protect you no matter what.”

Kroarararara!

Destruction Dragon, Vinas, was frustrated.

With her situation of only being able to exert the power of a Wyrm.

And with the master who was talking unrealistic nonsense.

Kugoogagaga!

A storm arose on the ground with a single flap of the Dragon’s wings.

The trees were torn away by the tremendous wind pressure, and the collapsed building debris formed a sandstorm.

Naturally, the Rankers confronting each other there couldn’t come to their senses.

They could only cling to the Tanker and desperately hold on to avoid being pushed away.

There was no time to deploy formations or tactics.

However, what allowed them to endure was.

Deploy the Magic circle!

Gooooooo…!

It was thanks to the defensive formation formed by the magicians of the Oxford Magic Tower.

Tower Master Sophia was concentrating and chanting spells right below the Dragon.

Behind her, hundreds of magicians were sticking their staffs into the ground and replenishing Magical power.

“This is the first Dragon that humanity has ever faced!”

“According to ancient books, Dragons are the progenitors of magic! If we don’t stay focused, we could be defeated!”

“Let’s all do our best!”

Human magic created by the elders and professors of the Magic Tower.

Hmm, what are these things?

Growl…

Brias looked down with interest, growling.

Mysterious. Races with various abilities. Are they new? The world has changed completely since I woke up.

The world he originally lived in was not like this.

A world where Dragons and their subspecies, the many Drakes, lived.

Humans?

Brias exclaimed greatly after roughly rummaging through one of their minds and absorbing information.

Amazing.

Apes.

Even small mutant apes had formed a civilization.

And that civilization had developed so rapidly.

Moreover, their means didn’t even include magic.

Kwagaga!

Even though those humans were uniting and showering him with skills.

Hmph.

Brias, the Earth Dragon, didn’t lose his composure.

It was amusing.

Only three, huh?

There were only three guys who seemed a little troublesome.

Apparently.

That guy running around with a hammer and shield seemed to be someone called a Paladin.

And that guy over there, who was more rugged than the others, was someone called a Roider.

And finally.

Is he a follower of Ancient Magic?

Ancient Magic (SSS-grade).

The Constellation that was most closely connected to the Dragon race and known as the oldest in the universe.

Even if the Dragon race was a life form that could challenge the authority of the Constellation.

He was on a different level.

Of course.

Ancient Magic was scary, but its followers were amusing.

I should just get rid of them.

Adapting to the changed world was something for later.

The most urgent thing now was to find the remnants of the Destruction Dragon and erase their traces.

Kroarararara!

The Dragon, who had roared at the Rankers gathered below, raised his Magical power.

Kugoogagaga!

At that moment, an enormous wave of Magical power began to surge from Brias’s body.

The best magic he could use as an Earth attribute.

A powerful skill that could wipe out the annoying humans scattered around in one go and leave.

Earthquake (SSS-grade).

It was not a typical earthquake.

The ground cracked, flames erupted.

And those sharp rock fragments crushed the creatures on the earth in a murderous earthquake.

Brias cast it.

Without hesitation, he dropped it on Belize, the Yucatan Peninsula.

“W, what is this.”

Association President, Aira, couldn’t believe it.

Look at the Hunters out in the field.

The first-string members of the guilds who were known to have made a name for themselves were all gathered, and there were more than 600 Rankers estimated.

And that wasn’t all?

Rankers were still responding to the Association’s call and coming to support.

It was truly a large-scale raid where all of humanity had joined forces.

But.

Those people were being helplessly defeated by a single monster.

They were being swept away without being able to do anything with just one flap of the Dragon’s wings.

“Haa, maybe.”

She, who was controlling the scene from the nearby situation room, let out a self-deprecating sigh.

“…Maybe the end is really coming.”

Everyone knew.

That the Dragon’s epithet was Earth Dragon.

They even knew that his name was Brias.

How?

[Earth Dragon Brias is roaring.]

[You are exposed to Dragon Fear.]

[The probability of falling into the abnormal state ‘Fear’ increases.]

[Warning! Warning! Warning!]

[You cannot withstand the Dragon race’s momentum. All stats are reduced by 20%!]

The System had told them everything like this.

That’s why it was even more terrifying.

Because they had confirmed that the being in front of them was really the Dragon from the legends.

“Uwaaa!”

The situation was not much different for the Otherworld members either.

“Crazy! Everyone gather!”

Their leader, Thunderclap Plora, shouted, sparking electricity.

“Don’t spread out. The center can’t control it anyway! We’ll stick together and survive! Hey, Berserker Ajussi! Hold your position!”

“…Alright.”

Jang Dae-ung, who was about to jump out, clicked his tongue as if he was disappointed.

There were a total of 17 Rankers from Otherworld gathered now.

The personnel who had supported them before were also gathered together.

“Hey, Matt!”

Pazzzik!

Plora turned around.

“Yes, Captain!”

Matt Gerald, a newcomer to Otherworld.

World Ranker 80th, Dragon Knight, replied.

“So, that guy is an Ancient Dragon?”

“…According to my skills, that’s right. For reference, even a Wyrm-class would be difficult for a High Ranker, let alone a Hyper Ranker. Above that is a Mature Dragon, and an Ancient Dragon-class… is said to be an extremely small number even among the Dragon race.”

Matt’s skill.

It was the description written in Dragon Taming (S-grade).

“Damn it.”

Ptooey.

Plora spat.

“This is, Hun needs to be here.”

Guide, Kapu, muttered.

“If it’s Hun who dealt with Drugeon and Aranbalon, he might have some kind of method. Judging by the size, they were also Ancient Dragons.”

“Back then, he just picked up the scraps from them fighting each other, right?”

Plora frowned and shook her head.

“Now it’s a very vivid Dragon, the Dragon itself.”

“Instead, many Rankers can join forces now.”

“Well, it doesn’t seem like adding a few more Rankers here will make much of a difference?”

Even now, if you look, there are some brave Rankers rushing in.

But in Plora’s eyes, it just looked like throwing eggs at a rock.

‘How did the master catch something like that?’

In Delilah’s trial.

Whatever it was, it was the moment when Ju Dong-hoon, who had dealt with two Dragons, seemed even more amazing.

‘If it were the master…’

What kind of judgment would he have made?

What ingenious method would he have used to overcome this difficulty?

In the moment of frustration.

“M, Magical power is fluctuating!”

“Everyone, get out of the way!”

Someone’s shout was heard from the front.

And at that moment.

‘Shit.’

Plora felt it.

The powerful Magical power emanating from the Dragon race.

“S, stop it.”

Before her voice could even finish.

Kwagagagaga!

A tremendous explosion echoed all around.

As if the earth was writhing madly.

Numerous Rankers sprang into the sky like springs, and the ground cracked and crumbled with a Kwadeuk! Kwadeudeuk! sound.

‘Ugh, ughaa.’

Plora also lost her balance and sprang into the air.

The problem was.

It wasn’t just about springing up, but there were sharp rocks rising from the ground.

Pajik, Pajijeujeuk!

She sparked electricity and disintegrated the rocks into fragments.

“Kkeuaak!”

“Keuheok!”

Already, several Hunters had rocks skewered through their abdomens like skewers.

It was a situation where Rankers within the top 1,000, who were said to be flying and kicking among the Hunters.

Were instantly killed by just one fragment of a skill.

“……!”

Because she had lost her balance, the Magic Tower’s magic was also canceled.

The Paladin tried to protect them with a large shield, but he seemed to have his limits alone.

The Roider jumped up and crushed the rocks with his fists, but it was useless.

The formation was completely broken.

And the Hunters’ will was broken.

‘This is…’

‘The end.’

‘How can we deal with something like this.’

‘Is this what the Dragon race is…?’

It was on a different level.

They had faced many bosses and had to go through bizarre difficulties in their lives.

But this was too different.

There was no need to discuss detailed comparisons.

The magic that unfolded before their eyes was on a different dimension from the start.

How could it not be, even the Tower Master was flustered and embarrassed.

The problem was that this magic was the first magic that the Dragon had unleashed.

‘Is this how I’m going to die?’

Death, the end…

Had come closer than expected.

Pook, Pububook! Pook!

Striking sounds echoed all around.

It was the sound of a nearby Ranker’s abdomen being pierced, and the sound of brains splattering as they hit their heads on a rising rock.

Unless there was a defensive Ranker or a high-ranking Ranker nearby, it was difficult to avoid the aftermath of the Earthquake.

Numerous Hunters and Rankers began to die.

At that moment.

Woong! Woowoong!

It was then that numerous Portals appeared in the air around them.

“Th, that’s?”

“What is it?!”

Like holes in cheese, the holes that appeared in space began to swallow the desperate Hunters.

Whether they were High Rankers or Low Rankers.

There were no exceptions.

Of course, some.

“Everyone, jump in!”

“If you want to live, you have to go in there! Gather in the holes!”

There were also those who shone their eyes and ordered them to jump in directly.

“Uwa!”

“Uwaaaa!”

Like being sucked into the abyss.

The place they came out of after entering mindlessly was outside the casting area of ‘Earthquake’, quite a distance from the Dragon.

And in front of them.

“Hellooo, our proud Ranker masters.”

It was then that a man with a familiar face stepped forward and muttered.

“I agree that it’s a difficult situation, but let’s not give up easily.”

Ah.

How could they not know that person?

He was the young Ranker who had recently been inaugurated as the fifth president of Russia.

That’s right.

The man was Vladimir Rodigin, a rapidly growing Ranker who had risen to 490th place in the world rankings this time.

“You know what? Our team leader didn’t give up even against two guys like that.”

Spacian.

Vladimir Rodigin smiled.
