Chapter 120: Now it’s your turn (2)
impForest of the Elves, Ausurin.j93C
vtwThe place was filled with Nidhogg’s ferocious attacks.4aVVs
AbtKXRHAhhh!Ti8HZ50
rqENidhogg was angry now.09iXPmA
vPqLBbEven now, an arrowhead fiercely pierced into his eye, causing Nidhogg anger and pain.lb2MSpa
kmMYD“Varadis… You take command from now on.”503qcs7
wGikyhIThe middle-aged elf shouted with difficulty, clutching his blood-stained shoulder.pZXdCn
aEz6KbtNidhogg’s spine was already deeply embedded in his shoulder.OKMmxh
NWJ3zhi“If you get killed… it won’t work.”ydQ18
l2WSThe great warrior of the elves and the one responsible for this operation.ih1eb
cu6DCEven as he handed over command to Varadis, his lips were gradually turning black.JccEOA
aE4The malice of the sharp dragon still flowed through his veins and pierced his heart.Nvog6Im
r9Rp“…I leave it to you.”TPrZ
WZO4Varadis nodded as he looked at the increasingly pale Great Warrior.aCsFFRp
uH6ViEThe great warrior, who was said to have been born under his mother’s World Tree, had been staring at Varadis with wide eyes until the moment of his death.ub6
B4Zg5“Everyone, gather around! I’ll concentrate our firepower!”Lh88TUc
RLeYSo now the remaining leader is Varadis, the leader of the rangers.9SK
qPCAt this moment, a generational relay that no one wanted has occurred.Gkk0
awY“Leader! That monster is so tough! Even if I use the aura, the weapon can’t penetrate its skin properly!”sqj
jVb“Contrary to our expectations, it seems the dragon has already completed its growth. It has a strong immunity to magic.”vzL
0yySIVaradis bit his lip upon hearing desperate reports from all directions.XTZS
VEdB9YbThe elves did their best to stop Nidhogg, but the potential of the dragon, which had already fully awakened, was too much for anyone to handle.neptVHG
nEEMX‘Do we have to retreat?’LeuL
vvsbKIn that case, the only way left is to retreat to the World Tree and join the main camp.sGH
bS9If we bring out the power of the elders along with the World Tree, there may be a way.3bvyUUG
ccRKq“No. This must end here.”vtwj
KQUuxHowever, it’s absurd to fight while using the object you’re supposed to protect as a shield.585Xj
VEaX4UEven now, hanging from the branches of the young World Tree were young spirits who were not yet ready to flap their wings.kyP
dqLHe couldn’t put those children first.O0Uxs1
bu0RS“We must do it.”33CU
uaHTThe eyes of Nidhogg and Varadis, growling in front of him, met.91YHj
bKrHis own arrow still hangs in one of Nidhogg’s eyes.1Fz
4I8It wasn’t over because it was shallow, but the existence of the arrows still bothering Nidhogg clearly showed that there was a possibility.L0XqIYa
1hr“Make a hole just one more time.”DhkkShC
cvz6If the arrow is shallow, you can shoot closer.6Jx9T8
feKAIAnd Varadis was a person willing to intervene with any malicious intent.hYKaSpM
iij“This time, I’ll definitely pierce your brain.”DWz
omzCkAfter completing his preparation, a small understanding began to appear in Varadis’s eyes.bin
KfJvThe magical eye that only a small number of elves could possess burned within his eyes.r6GDl
v6HVaradis of Ausurin.0tcQyIY
87TcMnDHis world, heated by anger, was building up as clearly as Nidhogg’s.evrc
bbppu9***pYekU6b
E60q6X“Please, help me… please, help me.”rjr6ch
AC6The girl, trembling as if having a fit, murmured helplessly while clutching onto Vlad’s sleeve.v8Uf
AALjBp2“The dragon is coming…”PzsUnk
8F1sKjaAlthough the girl’s voice was weak, her grip on Vlad was so strong it turned white.Bo2
dmjb1NhThe priestess of the World Tree, or rather the young World Tree itself, desperately wanted the knight in front of her.SuSf953
qypBecause the World Tree, which could see the outcomes beyond the process, knew that only Vlad could protect it.XVPbo
sovxDt8“This means that now…”nRVZei
ItR“It’s a revelation.”NYIe
k4HonZYA trembling voice was heard from the elf escort who had never spoken before.byf
C479The priestess is the passage that connects the World Tree and the elves.RCV
CPfXThe revelation of a divine tree that could see beyond mortal limitations was something that should never be ignored.J2a
6D4A“…The dragon is coming.”aNmoZA
nYJIkYnThe World Tree and the priestess observed from the beginning.Zd3p
feKzA threat in the future, eyes of a dragon filled with malice.tE4
SH51bR8“…The dragon came.”JsY
28GSAsgThat’s why the elves could prepare in advance.1VCY8
jyHlDdThey were vigilant around them, discarded suspicious elements, and established strategies.j8v32Tf
ZOE9ogTherefore, Varadis and the elves could now confront Nidhogg with their own preparations.Tauih
3GPPBr“But the dragon is still watching.”dLd
DKmwThe dragon comes.NZ1jb
nrqFatLThe dragon sees.5ZfPJO
A6cGVThe World Tree and the priestess read everything they could about the future, but they were still young and inexperienced.2bTRYO
Nn6That’s why they didn’t realize.bR1sAy
8tnThat there wasn’t just a pair of eyes looking at the World Tree.fF5a
0NvafA“Ahhh!”ZcNSmX
YlKhWkAt that moment, a terrible roar echoed throughout the realm.H9ys3Iq
4zbTAMThe roar of a dragon was heardGembDp
4Y38CsResonating from the other side of the barrier erected by the elves.YvWI
lcs9Zmr“…Shit.”ytGqlx8
uobS9s9Vlad’s face began to harden after hearing the fierce roar.GwdE
DAArUNow, anyone could notice it even if it wasn’t a revelation.D2t
hp3D“Grrrraaaarrr!”CHc2QVN
6qZThe elf village that had barely taken root began to collapse from the border with a loud noise.wKIKI
bCtw5It was another Nidhogg.CtFWC
Q9ynSM“Help… please.”q8nt
zQCSmA single tear ran down the girl’s cheek.dP7NBxV
30DPNThe girl’s fingers desperately clinging to his sleeves were pitiful.egMWn6
ligp“…”2S6
IJ8BVlad, seeing the girl’s tears from the corner of his eye, unconsciously turned to August.fLO
O1keFJWhat should I do at times like this?xh8
h2MFPg“What will you do now?”8Asc
XtmayHowever, the person in front of him was neither Joseph nor Jager.cJ3Pdi3
OEzVlThere’s no lord or elder knight now. There’s only one person who can give instructions to Vlad at this moment.OWrNV
beBS“It’s up to you.”q20t
oqPdOnly you.tiHa0Ia
o79The owner of the knight called Vlad was just Vlad.UDpp
OYA9mME“…That’s right.”zDrImHh
bTcpa3rThe white moonlight shining through the window illuminated Vlad.dXUF
bZEnThere was a small message written on one of Vlad’s breasts where the moonlight remained.PB6wRK5
5dGVlad raised his finger and gently wiped away the girl’s tears.5qAk1JN
0FELXOn his chest, where the moonlight pointed, there was an honorable phrase written by Saint Rogino.rBgt
ksnZ7Ua“I am Vlad of Soara. I will accept the priestess’s request.”UmCc
fbIqf7Vlad of Soara.lyym
gAETkDA knight who protected and saved the lives of children.Dmiqt1D
axoVlad’s now empty pommel gleamed in the moonlight.wYsrh
bO0k9D***Xst
UpcSpr“Ahhh!”3F5X3G0
JhJ“It’s a dragon! Run away!”NHNaBAb
THDxA“Everyone flee!”vByaIwl
WAsdCeeThe huge and agile dragon ran through the elf houses as if they were rubble.76J
9eBtvnlThere were rangers shooting arrows from all sides, but to Nidhogg, their attacks didn’t even bother him.zk4o
EHeTo reach the sharpest dragon, a sword with a deeper understanding was needed.V0M
XEq“Why are you following me?”eV7b
2LVP“Of course it’s for my heart.”c6d
NeoYNfTwo knights chasing after Nidhogg.76K
BDtVlad and August pursued Nidhogg, leaping over buildings.e9Cn3Gg
YklAY“The elves are enemies of the empire.”ufxkY
cdK“Where is the enemy and where are the allies? In this world, there are only problems and solutions.”aRW9KIn
OGRoz0Preventing the distribution of absilon.Uoy
CCzThis prevents drugs from being released into the empire.G3kQX
xLAAugust decided to join Vlad solely to achieve that goal.NlUPk
tqiwHeo“After doing them the favor, I plan to ask them to only distribute tea to the elves. You can pay for your shameful mistakes later.”gcAQS
lok9ARather than blaming someone, the priority would be to plug the hole in the dam that is bursting.UqeqoFh
jaTC39hThe empire was in such a weakened state that it couldn’t let out its justifiable anger.7i0NXcc
vnLrK‘Where are you?’F1M
lYLh1The eyes of the former commander of the Imperial Guard as he looked at Nidhogg began to glow blue.tqazWqI
6KJusXbIt was a technique that only August, who had been able to distinguish between truth and lies throughout his life, could use.87rQlz
b7JnnwB“What are you doing?”umBQ
mQnHn1“…Searching for weaknesses.”6IUf
SmlbEveryone has a part of themselves they want to hide.FiZE
naVoA weak part of yourself, a secret you don’t want to reveal, a fatal weakness that once stabbed you can never stand up again.g0E3HQ
9EIThat’s why people hide their weaknesses with lies and coercion.meV7O
2WhJhDLike Nidhogg now.KXaZ
Q86BIL‘Toe… The inside of the membrane.’hy4uJ1
flFI3The scales are tough and the erect spines are fierce.CsNe
Cwrq2fThe horn on its forehead was sharp enough to pierce through anything, but Nidhogg wasn’t satisfied with just that.w5vWJFH
GNq“The armpit area within the skin seems to be the weak point. Attack there.”bVPTH
pQ37v2The eastern dragon, which had not given up its desire to soar into the sky, still retained traces on its wings.IZ7Q
3vDZThe layer of dirty, sticky blood, glued by stubbornness and pride, was precisely Nidhogg’s weakness.qkZ
4ktf4The aura in August’s eyes said so.4ftF40
oS4ye6Ahhh!Oq8Puq
14ocxXjAhhh!vn5fx
DNe0dcBAt that moment, Nidhogg’s advance was blocked with a loud noise.q90ONY
RxYOBuildings collapsed and rocks from the ground were pushed.TGCr
WBBESuddenly, a huge magic circle appeared that blocked Nidhogg’s advance.Qu9g
fFnKy6“It’s magic!”uKf
rclEAZmAfter hearing August’s words, Vlad quickly turned his head towards the World Tree.MsQ
B7tRfAlthough I couldn’t see it in detail, I could see several elves gathered in front of the World Tree.iUhFW
W4dkThey were the elder elves.JRnR
CEd“Excellent. Let’s take advantage of this opportunity…”u0agyA4
szF5LAhhh!LnugL
FoutNCJThe magic circle created by the elders was clearly designed using noble techniques.6qWU7rP
ZOumcHowever, Nidhogg has already become an adult.OUdGZ0
czAXDrDragons that fell short of perfection were beings that were not deceived by magic that deceived the world.kTQKP1
Hro“What kind of bastard…”dNYhz
fpvNidhogg begins to bite the magic circle as if it were a piece of meat.fq4Xqi
nQjMG5The magic circle was being torn apart by the dragon’s fierce teeth.YIiBw
eAr7“Damn it!”i7JlUKu
SwBMagic circles breaking in the sky.aKUNx
LKcRVlad gritted his teeth as he watched the remnants of the magic circle fall like shards of glass.7sWQ
fGhBo‘…Is this a dragon?’AAeegN
kpqV1The young worm of death that had not yet reached adulthood.IZkS3
t025ue3Lindworm, which he discovered was a dragon late.ln2N
YSwVlad had faced two dragons before, but the Nidhogg in front of him was completely different from those guys.MrE0
xIlGOHave the Dragon Slayer Knights really faced dragons like this?YLuTdm
8EOixuAhhh!2WYboT
t5XN1st, 2nd, 3rd.UIL0NHs
2WGvOThe magic circles that appeared each time they broke must have been created by squeezing the energy of the elders.RJr5
0GKHowever, the newly created magic circles became weaker and weaker, and the amount of spells flying around continued to decrease.LFGWPgC
KcWpXAn opponent against whom magic cannot do anything.cOLw0s
qT3fYThe elves’ decision to intercept the dragon from the outside before it entered, hoping to find some way out if there were warriors, was now proving to be a fatal mistake.vU1
tuLF“Vlad! Run!”Zo0M16
EaF5LU2“Damn it!”h3fe
iV2The huge body finally reached the World Tree.Z2SbsSm
Zm4iOld Geronimo tried to stop Nidhogg with his arms outstretched to the end, but his old body could no longer express his will clearly.Pczh
GqObkDark red blood that couldn’t swallow flowed from the corner of his mouth.GLwXhLK
2eYAhhh!Svx
67rOQA fierce predator breaking through all obstacles.i4xG2HG
DFEFinally, Nidhogg’s claws crushed the young World Tree.YZW
eveto—–!qpS
sjCThe branches swayed wildly under the moonlight.5Jolrl1
sgzDThe girl’s body bounced painfully away.JxEoK
EHYBoth the young tree and the priestess trembled in fear at the greed emanating from the dragon’s claws.xClhw
b4eThe sound of destruction was breathing right next to me.j9WE7R
DTk“I’ll lure it!”1UGz
zJRmZ“It’s okay!”8a1NIj
7q0Young spirits at the end of the World Tree.xi1U
p3usQAs Nidhogg’s gaze focused there for a moment, Vlad and August quickly ran to both sides.f2e9xZW
uwi“Hmph!”X3e
hA1CQAugust manifested his own world with his left eye closed.7eE
h46XThe bright dawn began to form from his sword.VJWa
4KfAugust, former commander of the Imperial Guard.bDIZZ
ebqHis light was the dawn that revealed lies.MzC
o8pdp“It’s here!”EodzwnG
Q86Tim5No matter how much you identify a weakness, it’s meaningless unless you expose it.ast
2ussThe sudden appearance of August made Nidhogg’s mouth, which was about to climb the tree, quickly cover with his arm.VaXI
VWeqKC“This guy is really ugly.”V65
KVvPJAugust’s eyes grew more intense as he faced the fierce breath.DnED
Lx5qLStill, if you’re catching this guy’s attention, Vlad on the other side will definitely see a gap.sYif05
wUbOX06“What?”Nfq9STD
CJIFkHowever, Nidhogg did not attempt to deal with August.xP4
5DCHe simply threw sharp thorns and tried to climb hastily.syZIn
XrtA rain full of poison began to fall on the old knight’s head.WPPAD
cuM“Damn it!”Kfc9E1Z
gXBb7XVlad, running from the other side, quickly closed his left eye when he saw August fall in the distance.P1TUihe
lGPxcfIf possible, he wanted to seize the perfect opportunity, but circumstances didn’t allow it.xqy91m
OdQ“Before that guy climbs…”lDH2dQ
I1gSince there was no time, he couldn’t drag himself into the deep world.mrL
It4GHowever, Vlad clearly captured the remnants of his voice.tMylc
SluffCsA white beam began to form in Vlad’s closed left eye.CVwz
FOT“You bastard!”mJHpy5
P2xlmNidhogg is about to climb the World Tree and climb.gwBquBB
CAzOn the tips of the black-tone claws were trembling young spirits.zaA7u
vBVGuaThe dragon eats possibilities.mJM
HhIATo become more perfect.mKHKao
tKSZAnd the newly born young spirits were clearly full of potential that dragons could covet.Y2YTVJ
rVABE“I’m here! Bastard!”GL3G
8HdXSVlad, realizing Nidhogg’s intention, began to climb the World Tree quickly and without hesitation.7Xkw
0PtA lightning bolt struck from the ground and pierced Nidhogg’s side.mo25hO
8Cf847Quick, cunning, and more fierce than anyone.4oyBwV
n37“Done!”IQKX
ATDPerfect synchronization that made even August, who was rolling on the ground, clench his fists.mvL
XoanLWZVlad’s outstretched sword towards the weak point did not waver in the slightest.TUo0Nc9
8fffHe“…!”uvNN9kT
ma6mHowever, Nidhogg’s movements were agile enough to exceed everyone’s expectations.k5edcSf
w6p4AVlad’s world moved me more sensitively than any other world.vYL81r
Nk77LI like that. Recognized.gFYWrlQ
lwl5rE“Aaaaah!”bV9R
mKPA dark shadow crossed Vlad’s gaze.Mzuc
HAwIt was Nidhogg’s tail, full of poison.0Mkwc
zttl“Puff!”jUa
YvDR5The sound of something breaking.5siY

Lh6However, it wasn’t easy to judge the silver sword.LkUP7e
6o9FThe young dragon that brought the cold wind with him definitely felt an energy that was not unfamiliar to him.truxMmk
