Colossus Hunter

It was a narrow cave leading underground. The grass spirits flutter their short wings hard and approach the cavern and pause for a moment.

- Oh, here it is. Here's the dragon.

- Come on, you must be very sick. I can feel it vibrating.

- Uh, dark spirits are gathering.

Spirits are everywhere. Usually, the types of spirits that gather around the place are different, but there are also spirits that live by emotions. Such as the Spirit of Darkness.

They gather with dark emotions.

A powerful Dark Spirit can induce the target to make extreme choices. That's why spirits who deal with dark spirits used to be extremely evasive.

I saw it in my eyes.

‘A lot.’

That's a lot of numbers. It's obvious how many dark spirits there are in here, enough to fill the entrance.

It was unreasonable even to think about it.

Of course, there was a dragon that cast the dark spirit. Dark Dragon. The dragon, with its extreme and destructive tendency to be caught by the carphetams, rules the darkness.

But there were no other dragons to summon the Dark Spirit. Other than a spirit that fits their personality.

As I set foot, even the dark spirits retreated.

- An unusual human being.

- Human? Smells delicious.

- But I think I'll be swallowed if I get close.

Zero Affinity seemed to be common to Dark Spirits. There were words that bothered me, but it was likely that even the spirits who were speaking did not know.

Yesterday, it was confirmed by Syria and the Spirit of Light.

Rubbish! Rubbish!

The three spirit of grass followed me trembling behind me. He didn't have to follow, but he said he would guide him to the dragon, so he was trying to keep his promise.

- Am I, am I, am I, am I, am I, am I, am I shaking?

- Uh, dark spirits, this, so much, wife, I've never seen.

― Hii · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·.

Even the spirits thought it was strange. I hardened my face. The closer I got, the more heartfelt I felt.

Ignil and Itakwa. I "bound" them together. They shared their feelings, so they could get to know each other better than anyone else.

It hurts. It hurts. Scary.

The emotions that you didn't learn when you were in the abyss.

That's why he was confused. I was grieving.

I've moved faster.

and found.

At the end of the cave, the dragons are shriveling!

“Itaqua.”

Nezmach called out his name. However, Itakwa was looking at me with an anxious gaze.

Grrrrr.

I couldn't seem to reach my voice. He was deeply confused.

I did not see a cheerful and active side.

‘I was poisoned by Angler. ’

I could be sure just by smelling it. The Angler's Poison. I know its horror well.

Angler venom rots the whole body. It produces and corrupts pus, and its pain is greater than jumping into the fire.

Ordinary humans suffer and die in an instant. Begging you to kill me.

An Angler's Poison is no answer unless you take it out in the first place. There is no medicine because the poison's trait continues to change inside, and it cannot be touched unless it is a high-level detoxification skill.

And there was a bite on the side of Itaqua. The surroundings were already dark. The venom seems to be very slow because it is a strong dragon body.

“You've grown so much without seeing me. ”

You take a step forward.

Itaqua's body was already too big for my body.

I thought it grew faster than a bean sprout, but it grew at a rate that was not comparable to normal dragons.

Maybe that's why.

I was on guard. Ithaqua threw him into this mountain, thinking that no matter how young he was, he was a mercenary and that even the dragons could overcome him.

It was a mistake, a result of thinking only of me.

Grrrrrrrrr!

Itakwa spreads his wings. The wings reached the ceiling. The cavern shakes so tightly.

Are you going to kill yourself?

The snake moves, Jormungan. She spoke to me.

I didn't answer. Jormungan doesn't seem to have any intention of stopping it. She used to wield the world. He didn't show any affection for saving my life on purpose because he was interested.

Icarus died in the fire, challenging the sun. Even though Jormungan was the first person to show interest. Icarus would not have died in the myth if she had been willing to save her.

Khhhhhhh!

The closer Itaqua got, the more vigilant he became.

That look was like that of a wounded beast.

Even the hunters couldn't easily touch a wounded predator.

But I didn't stop. I couldn't stop. I'm the one who made all these results. It was me.

I slowly opened my hands.

Kuaak!

When I reached this far, Ithaqua bit my neck.

The dragon's fang is sharp and firm above all else. The blood is thick and my mind is numb. The texture of the pierced teeth remained intact.

But I didn't. If Itaqua's teeth and jaw strength could rip out my neck in one go.

“I'm sorry.”

I hugged Ithaqua. I patted his neck. The scale was cold, but also warm.

It must have hurt a lot. I was so sad to wait for me that I didn't come. I was like a parent to Ignil and Itakwa.

I never really became a parent. I didn't get married. I didn't have a child. I thought that was a bummer. I don't know when I'm going to die.

Even Ignil and Ithaqua were different from me.

So I take this relationship lightly.

Every time they saw me, they seemed to think of ‘trust’ as just the power of domination.

“I'm sorry. ”

I felt Itaqua's emotions. Or maybe it's my feelings.

Tears pour down. You hold Ithaqua in your arms.

Then one or two of the dark spirits around started to retreat.

Rrrrr.

Ithaqua pulls out the slowly biting tooth.

Then I looked into my eyes. The confused eyes pucker with confusion.

You recognize me, my soul.

Bitch!

I licked his bite. The fear is gone.

The power of the dragon has flowed to me. The wound on my neck began to heal gradually.

A magical power that has been preventing the Angler's venom from spreading.

If I injected it into me, the poison would spread quickly and die.

I took a step back. Then I shook my head.

“Jormungan. I need your help. ”

"Hmph, the power of burden only applies to you. And why does Jim have to suck out the dragon's venom?

“Really?"

I wounded Ithaqua.

And sucked out his blood and Angler's venom.

Suddenly, my blood turned blue. Angler venom coagulates blood, paralyzes and rots the body as soon as it enters the body. My skin was like a bubble.

This idiot · · · · · · · · · ·!

Jormungan exclaims in a bewilderment. Because the concept of sacrifice for others was too small for her.

But I didn't stop.

"Stop, if more poison spreads than that, the burden will be useless!

Keeping me from the curse of the night was the condition of my contract. The Angler's venom is possessed by a powerful curse. If I'm killed by poison, she won't be able to fulfill the contract.

Nevertheless, as he continued, Jormungan said.

Will you humiliate Jim? Just this once. If something like this happens again, then Jim will swallow you up!

I've never seen Jormungan so angry.

I smiled small. After stopping, the silver snake that was staying on its shoulder began to move busily. I sucked all the poison out of my body and climbed up around Itaqua's wounds as if I didn't like it.

My eyes that looked at the scene sank extremely low.

‘I'll have to kill him. The most horrible thing in the world. ’

Anglers. I don't know why they came down here out of their hierarchy, but they never intended to live.

* * * * *

Ithaqua continued to lick my face as the Angler's venom subsided.

It was a sign of welcome and an expression of trust. Knowing that, I left Itakwa alone.

Instead, I opened my mind and wanted to examine the changes.

Name: Itaqua (value-230,900)

Race: White Dragon

Title:

● Typhoon Cry (Lv. 9, Agility +15)

Stats:

Strength 54ss Agility 52 (37 +15) s HP 39s

Intelligence 31a Magic Power 21c

Potential (183 +15/485)

Unusual: Sunghyun's blessing, followed by the cry of the great storm. A strong relationship of trust with the user has been established.

It is said that a dragon can only breathe and become stronger.

Basically, the specs of the mercenaries were 'numbered walls’.

Considering him, it was remarkable growth power. Physical stats have already surpassed me.

‘Is this the growth potential of ss? ’

Oh, my God, I can't believe I'm here.

There was an astonishing change in stats based on the ratings of growth potential.

Moreover, the title. It was equipped with a storm cry. It was invisible in the abyss, but it seemed to be functioning as it grew.

"Level nine title. ’

It seemed like the power of Seong-hyun was definitely great. The mother of wisdom and Hyunan, Valpurgis, could not even sense what she was.

Level nine title!

Even Lyra Diablo had only one title at that level. Uriel Diablo said the same thing except for 'Daemon-Lord (Lv. 10)'.

Agility affects instantaneous response rate and extreme sensation. It was called the sixth sense of agility.

It went up 15 times. If agility exceeded the limit when he grew up, he would truly have a power to call supersensation. This also increased Itaqua's growth potential.

“Itaqua. I'm going to kill the man who hurt you. Are you afraid?”

Grrrrrrr!

Then I spread my wings and revealed my teeth. Ithaqua seemed to want revenge as well.

It wasn't just his revenge.

Shadow Kaim. He saved Ithaqua and was eaten by Anglers. You feel an uncontrollable hatred, but you don't bring in the dark spirit.

Evidence that you are confident.

I nodded.

‘The opponent is a child. ’

If it were an eel, the 25th layer would have been rich.

It was a child's grave. Nevertheless, we cannot guarantee victory with our current power.

Pedophiles were monsters living on more than 50 floors.

If I wanted to kill him any easier, I needed some kind of self-destructive poison or a weapon possessed with divine power.

There's nothing here right now.

But it wasn't the only way.

― Ahhhhh, this is so sad.

- I'm impressed.

― Dragon looks happy!

The grass spirits shed tears looking at Ithaqua.

I spoke to those spirits.

“You guys, you have to sign with me. ”

There were many spirits, but all three of them approached me.

Even the Dark Spirits have avoided me, but these three, unlike the others, have been following me to the end.

Now that I think about it...... it was no ordinary thing.
