Chapter 87: You, I, Strangers – 6 (1/2)

Translation changes: spearmanship – spear master, etc)

“So I have to kill 1000 of them in 11 days now, huh. I’ve got soooooo much time.”

[Why don’t you just cry honestly?]

Leaving room for some unforeseen circumstances, he had to kill about 100 per day. Thinking back on the battle against the Orochi, he felt blinded just by wondering how he would go about doing this.

Reta consoled the Yu IlHan who was losing energy even before the fight.

[The Orochi could be said to be much stronger compared to its level. Its Purple Flame was even more so. However, the dragons in Dareu aren’t like that. 800 of them are just over lv 200, and 100 of them are only around lv 210.]

“That’s very heartening. By the way, what about the rest?”

[The rest are all above level 220. ……There are many that are stronger than the Orochi.]

For someone like Yu IlHan who had decided to exterminate all the dragonkin, this number made him laugh.

No matter how much record he had piled up inside his body in order to fight dragons, would it even be possible to kill those frightening creatures like swatting flies?

Against those that would bring hell upon Earth even if a single one was called to Earth?

“Well, I can only try to find out.”

Yu IlHan steeled his heart before sighing and stood up.

Starting from 3rd class was literally a superhuman’s realm.

Countless people hit a wall while advancing to 3rd class, but once they did go over that wall, they would be respected as a part of the country’s battle power. If getting 3rd class was easy, then the meaning and the glory of attaining it would also dissipate.

Of course, Yu IlHan was currently doing an especially cruel quest even amongst 3rd class advancement quests, but he decided to not think about it. This had appeared since he had achieved so many things until now, who could he blame?

“Well, let’s start from the lowest levelled ones.”

Yu IlHan requested Reta for the formation’s activation and took out two 3rd class magic stones. This was because the number of 2nd class magic stones and 3rd class ones were beginning to equalize.

He had to leave some 2nd class magic stones behind in order to make higher ranked weapons for Vanguard, or so he was his reasoning when he decided to use 3rd class magic stones.

[You will be able to do it. If it’s the one I, Reta Kar’iha, have chosen. Definitely.]

Declared Reta in a firm tone. Her words somehow gave Yu IlHan some energy.

He didn’t realize because he was in a cave, but it was currently midday. Sunlight was shining down across the entire expanse of Dareu, soft winds were blowing, and the trees that grew there were swaying gently in the wind accompanied by the sounds of rustling leaves; all in all, it gave off a fantastical vibe. (PR:Fantasy-ical)

[Mmmmm?]

Just as Yu IlHan was admiring the scenery from where he was transferred to, a voice could be heard.

It was none other than a dragonkin, and a dragon that had acquired 4th class. Yu IlHan looked around to find it, and found out he had no need to.

[I thought I sensed mana ripples. Did I perhaps mistake it?]

That was because the size of its body was big enough to cover half of the landscape in his view. The figure was literally like a dragon ripped straight off a story book.

A lizard’s head, coupled with frighteningly sharp teeth in its mouth. The scales that covered its huge body shone red under the sun, while the bat-like wings that seemed…..underdeveloped for flight was neatly folded up behind its back.

Everything that made up the dragonkin’s body had a large amount of mana dwelling in it. Yu IlHan was just beginning to comprehend the method of control over that energy, but the 4th class dragonkin was controlling mana as naturally as it was breathing.

Thanks to that, it could activate magic whenever it wanted to. In other words, it was always on guard and this was probably the true form of the race of magic.

Although it might be superior in terms of physical strength, it was impossible for the Orochi to do that. It only shot out its boiling energy out as magic bullets, and it was just happened that they were absurdly strong.

The dragon in front of him had a bigger body than 3rd class dragonkin, but was overwhelmingly smaller when compared to the Orochi. Well, by the 4th class, many things end up changing even with just a single level.

He couldn’t even imagine how strong 5th class would be, if 4th classes were like this! But the most important thing now was to fight the dragon in front of him.

As expected of a dragon, it had even read a trace of the magic formation’s activation. Even though it should have been meticulously hidden thanks to Yu IlHan’s concealment ability!

[Hmm, there are no changes.]

However, it was, as expected, impossible for it to see through Yu IlHan’s concealment. After confirming, the dragon laid its body on the land again.

Having overwhelmingly strong ability in and of itself, was a weakness. That was because of the increasing arrogance due to knowing one’s own power. The same went for the dragon in front of him.

Even after sensing a ripple in mana, when it couldn’t find any changes to its surroundings, it just went ‘okay let’s go back to sleep’ and closed its eyes. That kind of thought process and action was insufficient to survive against a stronger enemy.

Like now.

[Will you be alright with just that!?]

Just as Yu IlHan was approaching it, Erta checked with him in shock. He was only holding a single spear in his hand.

[You’ve even prepared tools for hunting them!]

“I need to kill 100 of those things a day. I’ll never make it if I have to install them every time.”

Tools referred to harpoons, landmines and other installable tools, and was made by him when he was making other equipment in preparation to go to Dareu, after he had recreated the Heavenly Cloud Gathering Sword. They were made with the many bones of the Orochi, and the newtype Giant’s Rubber Band made from its muscles and tendons.

Their common point was their definitive binding power and pre-preparation. If he had to rely on them from those just over level 200, then he was sure that he would fail the mission. What Yu IlHan needed now was speed.

Yu IlHan charged towards the dragon that looked like it had fallen asleep. As he was already activating Superhuman Strength skill with the use of mana, his muscles were expanding to its limits within the armor.

Not just that, Angels’ Support was stably increasing his abilities by 30%, and the dragonslayer title he had acquired after killing the Orochi increased all of his abilities by 10% against dragonkin.

As he was doing a surprise attack, all abilities of the deathgod were in effect, and the Black Bone Giant Spear in his hand was a dragon-killing-specialized weapon.

Yes, Yu IlHan was riddled with special buffs at the moment.

In this Abandoned World, when doing a surprise attack, and although only in effect when going up against dragonkin, his specs were miraculously, not inferior to a 4th class.

His passive skills were perfect as well. His Spear Mastery, Concealment, and most other battle skills were at max level. In that regard, he could be said to be superior to other 4th class beings.

Then, there was only one problem left, which was the active skills. No matter how good his specs were, what good would it be without a strong strike?

As he knew that, he chose the weight transfer of the Cross Bag.

Never had Yu IlHan grabbed a blacksmith’s hammer in Dareu continent. As such, the tens of thousands of dragonkin he had killed until now were all still within his Cross bag.

Its weight was truly horrifying, and so, would give an amount of tremendous damage whether the opponent had a tough body, or could wield mana well. Cross Bag could be said to be Yu IlHan’s strongest weapon.

When he approached closer, Yu IlHan jumped to his heart’s content. As if being rewarded for all the fights he did in the stuffy caves, he jumped hundreds of meters in an instant!

[The skill, Leap, has become Lv 38.]

Perhaps the Akashic Record understood his stifling feelings, as the skill level increased refreshingly. The Leap skill generated an additional leap in mid-air when it was level 20, so he wondered what kind of changes there would be when it became level 40.

Expectations were expectations, and his attack began.

Yu IlHan gripped his spear tight with his left arm and posed himself in mid-air to draw back his spear fully, before shooting right at the moment the dragon moved around its body. Of course, the moment his spear left his hand, he didn’t forget to transfer the weight of the Cross Bag to the spear.

The beautiful straight line that Kang MiRae and Na YuNa absent-mindedly watched last time occurred again, but this time, with much more destructive power.

The Black bone giant spear that left Yu IlHan’s hand shot towards the ground as if it was going back to the place it was supposed to be, and hit exactly the head of the dragon that was just about to fall asleep!

Of course, tens of thin membranes shot out from the skin before the attack landed, but the spear weighing tens of thousands of tons destroyed everything and embedded itself deeply into the head. Purple Flame invaded through the wound too! This was an attack that Yu IlHan would never want to have to deal with.

[Critical HIt!]

[Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!]

Its screams were music to his ears, but he would be struck down if he kept listening to it. This dragon was different from the all-brawns Orochi. It was a true 4th class grown with time!

So, Yu IlHan moved immediately. The moment he confirmed that the attack had succeeded, he used Re-leap to kick off the air and leave that place. Immediately after that, a beam of light pierced through where he was.

[I don’t know who you are, but since you’ve enraged me you……!]

However, the dragon couldn’t speak anymore. That was because Yu IlHan had used Re-leap to charge towards it in frontal assault. Yu IlHan’s shooting body did not have a less beautiful trajectory compared to his spear.

[…will die!]

Noticing the situation quite fast, it shot out several magic that looked like beams of light. Thanks to Yu IlHan doing a frontal assault, the trajectory of magic that it had produced could also only be simple. It was all according to Yu IlHan’s wishes.

Using the remote collection feature of his Cross Bag, Yu IlHan called out several sturdy shields. They were unique ranked shields made from Orochi’s bones and coated with its skin, and was the tool that he had spent the most effort on.

Thousands of the same item, too!

“This is the fortress of iron, the Iron Fortress!”
