Desire

“Crazy bastard. ”

She looks at the monitor and smiles in vain. What he's looking at right now is an Internet community that deals with First related information.

It was a crazy thing for the top ranker, Ajin.

Azin drove Rivera, the lord of Lebacore, out as a traitor and destroyed Lebacore's factory. It wasn't just the NPC in Lebacore. There were a lot of players who were stationed in Gracia.

For them, it would be like being struck by lightning in the dry sky. Lebacore was a convenient city. because unlike any other Gracian city, it was changing into a modern way. For players who had experienced modern comfort, it was much easier to live in Lebacore than in other Gracias cities in the Middle Ages.

But the city was destroyed. Treason? None of the players believed the NPC. Eliminate the competition. Everyone thought so. Rivera and Azin differed a lot in their level.

There was a possibility in Lebacore. Apply modern knowledge in the game It's easy to say, but it's not that easy if you want to say it yourself. You need a lot of pre-requisites to do that. A shield to defeat land, cities, populations, and interference. Skills to bring knowledge to life. Money.

Players who currently have these conditions in the first were originally two. Azin, who became the Emperor of Jinsun, and LaQuiz, the commander of Siolence. Rivera pops out of nowhere. And unlike Laquis and Azin, she actively leveraged modern knowledge to strengthen her territory.

And so the possibility of Lebacore was created. If only a few more years had passed, the players of Gracia would have flocked to Lebacore, and Lebacore would have become even bigger with him. At that point, perhaps‘ treason ’could have been possible, as Ajin said.

But not yet. Today, Lebacore is only too small to have a chance. And that Lebacore was trampled on by Azin. For the players, azin's behavior seemed only to eliminate the competition.

[No, it's too much to rank first, isn't it?]

[I opened a shop in Lebacore and it's ruined.]

[blah blah blah really. I invested my entire fortune in Lebacore and tried to suck some honey. What about my money?]

[Where does Rivera go? Spit out some fucking money.]

[No, why would you say that to poor Rivera?] This is all happening because our number one ranking came and fucked up.]

[Are you really rebelling?]

You just framed me for treason. Have you seen that son of a bitch do something once or twice?]

[Famous for his human trash since beta.]

[If you look at it, you let the laundry come. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.]

[But you didn't do much disgust when you opened the official server?]

Can't you see it during the war? Even with NPC, he's killed over a million people.

[That's why you're gonna be so damn good to this NPC guy, right?]

She chuckles and laughs as she writhes down the bulletin board. He knows Ajin. Treason? It's just a plausible excuse. I don't like Rivera's behavior, and I'm sure it would be bothersome to leave Lebacore alone, so I hit the player and got rid of him.

‘That's the son of a bitch. If you want it to be too sharp, you'll have to step on it. ’

Like Rivera, she thought it was better. He also lost his support base in the struggle against Azin, but at that time he was fortunate to fight against him. I don't know if you'd run into him if you'd been fully empowered. Could the outcome have changed?

She wasn't sure about him. No matter how much I raised the Dark Star, I wasn't sure I could take on Ajin. The size of the force is important, but it is meaningless if the target has the power to trample it down.

So what do we do? If you raise the power carelessly, it will only be swept away in a head-on collision. Should we strengthen the members so that they don't? Is that easy? Increasing the head count and gathering useful ones are completely different.

In the end, there is only one conclusion that Harvest came to. Power is necessary. It's pointless to gather the numbers together.

So you have to become an individual with overwhelming power. An individual with the power to wipe out all power. Just like he did right now. Power is not too late after becoming an individual with that much power.

‘You mustn't get attention. ’

If you get attention, it hurts. Having already been trampled on by Azin once, she had to be careful. I've absorbed all of the Dark Stars and gained immense power and magical knowledge, but this is not enough.

That's a relief. After a brawl with Azin earlier, she's out of Azin's league. Thanks to this, he has some freedom of action.

Harvest rises from his chair and approaches the capsule. As soon as I entered the game, the damn headache pierced her brain.

“Damn it.”

Harvest stumbles, pressing down on his writhing head. This workshop, located deep underground, was completed just moments ago, but is fully functional as a workshop.

“Hello?”

Orsay sits stunned and rises to her feet. Jabesh nods slightly at her and grabs the staff that was leaning against the wall.

“What's the status?"

“No mutants yet. ”

Having heard Orsay's answer, she wore a robe. The Delacroix Mountains are located at the eastern end of Gracia. This is NPC, the realm of monsters that have not allowed the player's feet yet.

Harvest built the workshop in the Delacroix Mountains for a simple reason. It was easy for this side to procure test subjects. There are many dragons in the Delacroix Mountains. Not just dragons. Some monsters are hard to see when they're distracted.

Having them all as test subjects, it was convenient to create a workshop on this side. She and Orsay take the stairs down to the basement slowly.

The lower you go down the stairs, the smaller vibrations shake the walls. This workshop is magically preserved, so you won't have to worry about collapsing. However, noisy things are just unpleasant.

In the vast underground cavity lies a great dragon. Shaking the cavity was the dragon's exhale. She frowns and approaches the dragon.

“Can we just turn down the goddamn breathing? It's noisy.” “Grrrgh... Glug-ug-ug...”

The dragon's eyes were closed. A silver dragon that looked beyond the dragon. He was strong enough to call himself a vigilante, but she was able to hunt him down with ease.

“You didn't even have to breathe in the first place. I thought magical powers were enough to survive. Why are you impersonating a mammal?” Yes... you...! ”

The dragon spits out its hatred. Jabesh smiles at the words and slowly thinks into the air. The dragon twitched to move its body somehow, but it was a meaningless resistance.

She looks down at the wide-open dragon's chest. I can see the flared bones and the beating heart. It just looks like it. Heart, bone, blood. It's just a disguise that hides the Dragon Heart inside everyone's heart.

If you extract the Dragon Heart from here, everything in the Dragon goes back to Mana. That wasn't what she wanted. Even the knowledge of dragons and the enormous magical power of dragon hearts were quite greedy, but I did not intend to consume such precious subjects.

“What are you... doing to me?! ”

The dragon panted and asked. It was a dragon with sky-high arrogance, called a magic manipulation, but it was already completely destroyed. The only thing the dragon now holds is hatred for Harvest, and even greater terror.

“I've never done it myself. ”

Though the theory was close, it was the first time we experimented with dragons like this. So, this was a chance for Harvest to learn a lot from that dragon. There are just enough dragons in these mountains to make them test subjects.

“You know what? I need a lot of help from you.” Glug...! ”

The dragon's eyes tremble. Harvest's hand slowly extends forward. A complex form of magic jeans is created around the chaotic right hand.

The sorcery has seeped into the dragon's body. The dragon's mouth widened. Krarak! A huge scream rocks the joint. Jabesh grimaces and reaches for the dragon's mouth, which is wide open.

“Quiet.”

The screams of the dragon stop. She quietly continued the experiment. His goal is to build a chimera based on dragons. Becoming an individual with overwhelming power. That was her goal, but she didn't reinforce herself right away.

What he wants is a subordinate consisting of individuals with overwhelming power. That's what catching dragons is for. Zombie dragon, Bone dragon. Undead monsters based on dragons. That's not good enough.

There are many undead monsters with reason. However, zombie dragons or Bone dragons do not. Because the spirit of the dragon does not succumb to the undead's wrath and vanishes. After all, the undead, who can make them based on dragons, are the only ones who are unreasonable and ignorant.

That's not good enough. That's not good enough. So make it chimeric. There was enough material. Jabesh opens the subspace from behind him.

His subspace contained countless materials. These were collected by Dungeon Masters who belonged to the Dark Stars, not by Harvest. First, she pulls out a dragon heart. It was a few dragon hearts, but I didn't intend to spare them.

Failure has nothing to lose. Even if a Dragon Heart explodes, all the scattered magical power can be absorbed through this right arm.

“Let's start with two hearts. ”

The dragon's eyes widened. He squirms urgently and shouts something. But the dragon's words did not reach her.

“Why, is there something you want to say? ”

She reaches out and turns the dragon's voice back.

“W-well, stop it! Two hearts... my body won't last.” Why do you think that is? Never had two hearts. ”“ De, the body of a dragon is composed of the Dragon Heart born with it. If you add another Dragon Heart to that, your body will collapse... ”“ You haven't even tried. ”

Jabesh frowns and says,

“You can't say you can't do it without trying. I've done it before, but maybe it'll work.” “Impossible!” “Have you ever tested it? ”

When Harvest asked again, the dragon's words were blocked.

“Here's what I like to say. Failure is the mother of success. Yeah, maybe it won't work. But that's okay. I'm going to learn a lot from this failure. Why should I listen to you? ”

She tilts her head and asks.

“I'm not dying. ”

“This... madness...”

“You in the first place. Did you expect me to catch you and live? ”

Harvest chuckles. He grabs the heart of a dragon the size of a fist and reaches into the heart of a dragon.

“Why did you expect that? ”

The Dragon Heart pierces the heart capsule and buries it inside. The dragon screams horribly.

She blocks the screams of the dragon again.
