I was forced to let go of the reins when I saw the sudden message. It was a new ability. What type of ability did it mean?
[The awakening of the new ability of the sacred creature of the wind, ‘Punghee,’ is imminent.]
Another message popped up. I was troubled. I didn’t know what it was but I was certain of one thing. This would help me. It was Punghee becoming one step stronger. If her abilities were awakened then she would be like Aiolos.
“Elder, aren’t we going?”
“Huh? Uhh. Let’s go.”
Joseph’s words woke me up and I regained my composure. I would know once I got there. I had to go and see it myself.
“Let’s go, Yellowy.”
"Umoo! (I know!)”
This guy set off slowly again. I guess I had to ask him to go quickly again. Just then, I heard footsteps in the distance. There were quite a large number of them. I raised my super sensitivity and widened my vision in the darkness. “Sujeong...?”
The wagon stopped again. Then I spoke to Joseph and Drain, who were both behind me, “Wait here, the villagers seem to be coming.”
“Then I will go as well.”
Joseph turned toward Drain. Drain just waved one hand, signalling for us to go ahead. He was too sick.
“Let\'s go.”
“Yes.”
I ran forward with Joseph. Shortly after, I was able to meet the villagers, including Sujeong. Her forehead was full of sweat and she seemed to have used quite a lot of strength.
“Father.”
“You’ve worked hard. What happened?”
“I’m not sure. They suddenly attacked in the middle of the night... Ah, Kerenos is in danger. He said he’ll stop them himself and told me to lead the villagers away...”
My gaze moved back to Garbage Village. Bright flames could be seen. Then I heard someone crying out, “H-Hey, Helena? Where is Helena??”
“What? Wasn’t she following you?”
“No, she told me to go first, so I went. Then...”
“H-Have you seen the village chief?”
“You fool! You should’ve taken care of the village chief first!”
My brow furrowed. Based on Helena’s extreme personality, she must be taking care of her father. If so, they were still over there...
“Please look after this place, Sujeong.”
“Yes. Don’t worry, I’m stronger now.”
“Joseph, you will stay here too. Please help Sujeong.”
“Yes, unfortunately, I know.” I nodded slightly.
“Ah, right. Father, take this.”
“Huh?”
She held the firefly needle in her hand and quickly started to work. The needles pierced my body here and there and were rapidly absorbed into my body.
[The constellation skill ‘Divine Firefly Acupuncture’ has been used.]
[The blood circulation throughout your body is increasing.]
[Your head is cleared and your strength has increased.]
[All stats will rise by 5% for 30 minutes.]
Ah, that’s right. There was this as well. Divine Firefly Acupuncture also had an invigorating type acupuncture. It was fast so she must’ve been practicing quite a lot.
“Thank you.”
“I wish you luck.”
“Yes. Look after Drain, he’s in a wagon a bit behind from where I came from. He doesn’t look well.”
“Yes, I will.”
I nodded again and ran at high speed. The first thing to do was rescue Helena and Chief Aino. Then the final goal was Supreme Fire Dragon. I would insert the fork spoon in that damn man. “Just wait a little bit, you rotten guy.”
* * *
Supreme Fire Dragon was perplexed by Violently Blowing Winds. It was unknown how much firepower it contained but the wind was light green. The appearance when it was brought together was unexpected.
“...What? Is it a flower?”
Floating in front of him was a distinct flower. It was a flower made up of four petals. The stem was missing but based on the light green color, it was definitely wind magic. It was the same principle that gave fire magic a red color. Then why was this suddenly created?
“Pung. Puuuung!”
It seemed that white rat-like guy had made it. He didn’t know the identity of the ability but this was a rare pet. Huhu. He would have to take it instead of killing it.
“Big Brother!”
Supreme Fire Dragon turned his head as someone called out to him. Some of his little brothers were walking over and they had some people with them. It was a slim man and a woman. The slender man was carrying an old man with a grey band around his eyes.
His younger brothers arrived in front of him. “Big Brother, I’ve found Helena.”
“Really? It was hard on you.”
“Yes. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get that Sujeong. I’m sorry.”
“Tsk. It can’t be helped. Good job.”
He split up some of his people and asked them to pursue Kim Sujeong. However, her resistance was greater than expected. He didn’t know where she gained it from but she had a tremendous power. There was a shield with a vast range and fluorescent lights falling from the sky. After seeing it, Supreme Fire Dragon had got goosebumps.
‘...I wanted to find the old man. It can’t be helped.’
He wasn’t certain but looking at the woman’s strength earlier, the old man must have something to do with it. Then burning down this place would be a blow to the damn old man. It wasn’t a definite revenge but it would be a small revenge.
‘Huhu. Damn old man, I’ve waited a long time for this day.’
Revenge would soon come. He was ready to kill that damn old man. All of his younger siblings, including himself, had raised their fire resistance to the limit. Supreme Fire Dragon had raised it to 100% due to his class characteristic. His siblings were barely over 50% but that would be enough.
“...Damn old man, I will definitely get Ifrit’s Bracelet back.”
Supreme Fire Dragon muttered as he walked forward. Of course, the woman on her knees was Helena, the target that Aidan commissioned. It matched the face he saw in the photo. “You are Helena.”
“...You know my name. Who sent you?”
“It is a secret.”
Aidan wanted to keep the fact that he made the commission a secret. Supreme Fire Dragon would naturally keep his word. This was an important line of money.
“I can roughly guess. Is it Aidan?”
“......”
How did she know? He hadn’t told her.
“That man is a real scum. Does he think that doing this will stop the photos from being distributed before the presidential election?”
“I don’t know what you mean. However, we’re going to destroy this village and all the residents along with it.” Supreme Fire Dragon smiled while Helena’s face turned pale at his words.
“In any case, goodbye. I’ll take good care of this place.”
He swung his greatsword. All he had to do was cut off the woman’s head and he would walk along the solid path of doing business. Then he would gradually raise funds to establish the Fire Dragon Group. It happened at this moment...
“Hey, you rotten bastard.”
“......!”
Supreme Fire Dragon suddenly turned at the voice from behind him. At the same time, he felt something hit his head.
[Serious damage! The damage disregards defense.]
[Your health is reduced by 6%.]
‘What?’
Supreme Fire Dragon quickly swung his sword. He widened the distance but something was still flying at him. It was a baptism of white cobwebs.
‘Ugh. Damn. This...!’
They were familiar cobwebs. He couldn’t forget. His blood pressure rose when he recalled how he fell down that cliff because of these damn cobwebs. In the midst of numerous cobwebs, Supreme Fire Dragon could see the man attacking him.
“Kuock! Old man!!”
“Haha. It has been a while. No, we met again?”
“Ohhh!”
Before long, his entire body was covered in cobwebs. Supreme Fire Dragon stared at the old man but the old man didn’t seem to be doing anything. This just made him even angrier.
“Why are you standing still? Son of a bitch! Kill him!”
His brothers awakened from the blank state they were in. They rushed toward the old man.
“Die, old man!!”
“I have been waiting for this day!”
“Uraaaaat!”
The old man still seemed casual but it wouldn’t be easy. They were all well prepared. They didn’t have to worry about being hit by the fire kick like they did last time.
“Uweok!”
"?????"
What was that?
“Aaaack!
“ Xck! What the hell is this?!!”
The object in the old man’s hand moved. It quickly stabbed at his younger brothers’ leather armor. Looking closely, it was a weapon. It was...
A spoon?” Crazy. The old man was hitting his brothers with a spoon. He was a really crazy old man. Last time, it was in reality. This time, it was virtual reality. The old man was beating his little brothers with a spoon.
[Your party member ‘Seventy-One Fires’ has died.]
“Shit...?”
Goosebumps covered his body. Could it be that the damage that ignored defense was due to being hit by the spoon? An unknown anxiety engulfed Supreme Fire Dragon and it was becoming reality. The old man started to hit his brothers all over the place with the spoon. It reminded Supreme Fire Dragon of the time he met the old man in the emergency room.
[Your party member ‘Thirty-Eight Fires’ has died.]
[Your party member ‘Ninety-One Fires’ has died.]
......
“C-Crazy!”
* * *
[The title ‘Serial Killer of Justice’ has been triggered.]
[You will deal 50% more damage to murderers.]
I fell into a trance after a long time. I had found Helena and Supreme Fire Dragon was in front of her. Thus, I used Shadow Play to appear behind him and used the fork spoon. The rescue of the hostages was the primary goal, so I had to fight his subordinates. I grabbed the fork spoon and attacked them. The arms, thighs, neck, head, and shoulders. I poked at the gaps in their defenses. They seemed to be stronger but I was also stronger.
I logged them out one by one. I looked slightly behind and saw two people with wide open mouths. They were Kis and Helena. Only the blind Aino was the exception. I smiled at them.
“You damn old man!!!”
“Uhuh. You!"
I turned and kicked. These guys seemed to have forgotten but my main forte was kicking. I inserted the fork spoon into the forehead of the fallen man.
“Ugh. XXX...”
[The murderer ‘One Hundred and Two Fires’ has died.]
[Your fame has increased by 1,000.]
“Urghh!”
“C-Crazy. Old man!!”
They must’ve suffered a lot of damage because most of them were crawling on the ground. It reminded me of what happened in the emergency room the other day. Tsk tsk. They were pathetic people.
“Hey, old man.”
I turned my head at the familiar voice and a hot wind blew. I could see Supreme Fire Dragon surrounded by white flames. The cobwebs that bound his body had already disappeared and this guy was aiming a burning sword at me. Supreme Fire Dragon told me, “I’ve been looking forward to this day.”
“...I wasn’t waiting.”
“Are you kidding me? Will you obediently give me Ifrit’s Bracelet?”
“You are still talking about that? What was so good about that bracelet? The name is also Gurigu.”
“It is Ifrit’s Bracelet! You damn old man!”
At the same time, Supreme Fire Dragon rushed forward. It happened at this moment...
Ttiring~
[The sacred creature of the wind, ‘Punghee,’ has awakened the new ability ‘Anemone.’]
The surrounding winds started to shake.
