Fwoosh-

The Asura Dragon breathed fire at Minhyuk.

The dragon’s flames were on a different level from the flames that other beasts breathed out.

Even with the armor made of Volcanic Lizard leather and a magic barrier, it was hard to block it properly.

The intense heat dug into his whole body and he felt unbearable pain.

Groan-

A groan escaped Minhyuk’s mouth.

Still, thanks to Charon’s potion pouch, he avoided a dangerous situation.

Recovery potions were continuously administered into his body, and the wounds caused by the flames healed in an instant.

Swoosh-

Minhyuk retreated at full speed to escape the flames.

Rattle-

At the same time, he fired a Gatling gun at the dragon.

Ting-

Ting-ting-

The bullets fired by Minhyuk bounced off the dragon’s skin without piercing it.

Originally, the bullets made of star metal were weaker than the dragon’s bones, but they could inflict wounds on its skin.

However, the dragon had used a magic scroll to spread a protective barrier that reduced the physical attack power of its opponents above its skin.

But he had already confirmed that the barrier of the bastard was not perfect.

The barrier could be broken through by an attack power of a certain intensity.

When he used Gaon to shoot an arrow from the Great Bow at the bastard, he was able to break through its barrier.

However, the bullets of the Gatling gun had a fast muzzle velocity (the speed at which the projectile leaves the muzzle of the firearm), but their mass was too small.

‘The kinetic energy is insufficient.’

The bullets of the Gatling gun did not have enough physical force to penetrate the dragon’s protective barrier.

So I had to change weapons.

There were other firearms in the refrigerator besides the Gatling gun.

He had given Valin the blueprints for various modern firearms and had him make various guns.

Among them was one with a 30㎜ caliber.

In modern weapon systems, if the caliber is 20㎜ or more, it is classified as a cannon, not a gun.

Clang-

Minhyuk loaded the machine cannon (an automatic continuous-fire firearm with a caliber of 20㎜ or more that operates on the same principle as a machine gun).

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The shells were fired in succession with a thunderous roar.

Compared to the Gatling gun, the rate of fire was much lower.

However, the power of each shot was incomparably stronger.

The recoil of the machine cannon was so great that even Minhyuk, with his superhuman strength, could not hold and shoot it.

‘I used to.’

But not now.

Because he could use magic to increase his strength.

Bam-

A faint light emanated from Minhyuk’s whole body.

A spell that consumes magic power to amplify strength.

This technique was also something he had learned from Northrop.

Bang-

The shell exploded as it collided with the dragon’s protective barrier.

The shell contained gunpowder and a bead made of dragon bone.

It was not as powerful as the high-explosive bomb that had killed Saltus the Wyvern, but it was still deadly.

Bang-

Bang- Bang-

Unable to withstand the might of the shells, the dragon’s protective barrier shattered.

*Clang!* *Clang!* *Clang!*

Minhyuk continued to fire.

As the protective barrier was destroyed, the shell fragments pierced the dragon’s hide and damaged its bones.

*Boom!*

Some shells exploded after burrowing deep inside the dragon’s body.

*Kyaaack!*

The dragon thrashed around in intense pain as its internal organs were severely damaged.

*Poof!*

The Akara dragon hastily used recovery magic to heal its wounds.

[How!?]

The dragon couldn’t understand it at all.

Minhyuk had become a completely different being since their last encounter.

How had he gotten so strong in such a short amount of time?

[Just what is your special ability?]

If he continued to develop his abilities at this rate, even the Red Dragon and the Grand Duchess of the Sky wouldn’t be able to handle him in the future.

This was a major crisis that came once in several thousand years.

Anyway, right now, escaping his own crisis was more important than worrying about the future of his race.

*Flutter flutter*

The dragon retreated backward.

*Swoosh*

And desperately tried to fly out of range of Minhyuk’s cannons.

‘Where do you think you’re going!’

Minhyuk started chasing the dragon, unlike before.

Farther than the range of the flames it breathed, but closer than the range of the machine gun he was firing.

Maintaining that optimal distance was the key to victory in this battle.

*Swoosh*

The dragon increased its flying speed.

The distance between Minhyuk and the dragon gradually increased.

In the end, the Akara dragon escaped the range of the machine gun.

*Poof*

The dragon perfectly healed its wounds with recovery magic.

In the end, the situation had returned to square one.

Minhyuk muttered in frustration.

“My mobility is lacking.”

To properly hunt a dragon, he needed to be as fast as one.

It would be better than now if he rode Cheonsam and flew, but even then, he would still be slower than a dragon.

‘I need to come up with a plan.’

It would be great if he could combine magic and modern science to create a means of transportation as fast as a supersonic fighter jet.

But, it certainly wouldn’t be easy.

Anyway, that’s for later, Minhyuk judged quickly.

In the situation where the dragon escaped out of range, he can no longer hunt it.

He can’t waste time on something he can’t do.

So, he will first go up to the top floor of the Magic Tower.

After finishing all his business on the top floor, he will return to Asdel Fortress and find a way to fly faster than the dragon.

He also has a map with the location of the dragons’ nest, so he can hunt as much as he wants after securing a mode of transportation.

Swoosh-

Minhyuk no longer chased the dragon.

He changed his flight direction towards the portal.

Then,

Shwiiing-

From Noble mtl dot com

The fleeing dragon changed direction and began to chase after Minhyuk.

[Visitors must not go to the top floor!]

Akara the Dragon was in a dilemma.

Minhyuk’s firepower was too strong to approach.

But he had to stop Minhyuk from going to the top floor by all means.

[In the end, there is only one way.]

The dragon was determined to die together with Minhyuk.

He intended to cast a self-destruction spell.

Snap-

The dragon pulled out a magic scroll from his inventory.

The magic scroll contained ‘Commorior Magic’.

It was a magic that instantly released all the magic power in the body and created a huge explosion.

A huge amount of magic power was accumulated in the dragon’s heart, so if the dragon used Commorior Magic, an unimaginable explosion would occur.

The range of destruction was so wide that Minhyuk could be killed if he was on the same floor.

Click-

The dragon tore the magic scroll.

Then, a red light emanated from his whole body.

‘What is that bastard trying to do now?’

Minhyuk did not know that the dragon was in the middle of casting a self-destruction spell.

He just had a bad feeling.

It seemed like he had to quickly use the portal to go up to the top floor.

But it was such a waste to give up the chance to kill the rushing dragon and go up to the top floor when he could get its magic crystal.

‘What should I do?’

At that moment, someone’s voice entered Minhyuk’s head.

[You will die if you stay on the 8th floor.]

“Who are you?”

[Quickly go up to the top floor. Before the dragon self-destructs.]

Normally, he wouldn’t have believed an unidentified voice right away.

But the anxiety he was feeling and the other person’s words matched.

It seemed like it would be better to get out of this place.

The dragon’s heart was important, but his own life, which he only had one of, was much more important.

Whoosh-

Minhyuk flew towards the portal at full speed.

Then, the anxious dragon shouted towards Minhyuk.

[You bastard! Stop!]

Judging from how he was talking, it was certain.

He really was going to self-destruct.

Swish-

Minhyuk passed through the portal and went up to the top floor.

The dragon muttered in vain.

[Dammit…]

Once activated, the Commorior magic could not be stopped.

Flash-

An incredibly bright flash of light spread out in all directions from the dragon’s body.

The mana explosion had begun.

Rumble-

The intense heat and pressure swallowed everything on the 8th floor of the Magic Tower in an instant.

In the end, the Akara Dragon disappeared without leaving a trace.

After the explosion subsided,

Hiss-

As the Magic Tower’s magic worked, the 8th floor, which had been scorched, was restored.

The portal connecting to the top floor also reappeared.

After a while,

Someone came out of the portal.

Minhyuk, who had moved to the top floor, returned.

It was to confirm with his own two eyes that the Akara Dragon had disappeared after self-destructing.

‘It’s real.’

Swish-

Minhyuk moved to the top floor again through the portal.

The owner of the Magic Tower was standing there.

Looking up at his face, which was 20 meters tall, Minhyuk asked.

“Why did you help me?”

“I saved your life, shouldn’t you say thank you first?”

“I don’t think you saved me out of goodwill, so I’m asking.”

The owner of the Magic Tower smiled and replied.

“As expected, you’re quick-witted as well as capable. That’s right, I saved you for my own sake. I made a deal with Vanak.”

Vanak, it was the first time Minhyuk had heard the Akara Dragon’s name.

“What kind of deal?”

“I made a deal to receive something very precious from Vanak if you came up to the top floor alive. Poor Vanak, he would never have thought that I would help you.”

“What did you decide to take from him? He blew himself up, leaving nothing behind.”

“A dragon’s heart, blood, bones, hide… There’s nothing of a dragon’s flesh that I’d discard. But that’s not what I wanted.”

“So what did you decide to take?”

“I am under no obligation to tell you that.”

“Fine, if you don’t want to talk.”

Minhyuk didn’t ask the Master of the Magic Tower any more about the deal between Akara’s Dragon and her.

Instead, he asked for the reward for successfully climbing the Magic Tower.

“You said you’d give me a treasure if I reached the top.”

“Indeed.”

The Master of the Magic Tower handed Minhyuk a necklace.

The pendant glowed with a mysterious light.

“Is this the treasure?”

“It is a treasure that cannot be compared to 10,000 other magical tools.”

Information about the necklace appeared before Minhyuk’s eyes.

＜Necklace of Closed Space-Time＞

– A legendary magical tool of unknown origin.

– It can be used to travel to a specific space-time.

The message’s description alone wasn’t enough to tell him exactly how the necklace worked.

“Where exactly can I go using this?”

“It would be better to experience it firsthand rather than hear about it a hundred times. Try infusing the necklace’s jewel with your mana.”

Minhyuk poured his mana into the pendant as the Master of the Magic Tower instructed.

BAM-

With a blinding flash, Minhyuk was transported to a place he had never expected.

‘Where is this?’

ROAR-

He was in the middle of a bustling town square.

However, the way the people here were dressed was quite different from the people of Asdel and Melbeck.

They all wore hoods on their heads and carried staffs in their hands.

Minhyuk walked around the square, looking at the buildings around it.

＜Hunta’s Magic Tool Repair Shop＞

＜Helena’s Magic Potion Shop＞

＜Simaur’s Magic Weapon Shop＞

.

.

.

There were rows of shops selling and repairing various magical tools.

Minhyuk asked an old man passing by him,

“Where is this?”

“Huh, have you been drinking in the middle of the day? Where is this? This is the Magic Tower Square in Silphir.”

He turned around and saw the Magic Tower standing tall.

Originally, this place should have been a snowy field.

After all, the area around the Magic Tower had been a frozen land long before the Great Flood.

But now, the climate was warm.

Trees and flowers were growing around the Magic Tower.

In addition, the entrance to the Magic Tower was wide open.

‘What the heck happened?’

Whoosh-

Minhyuk decided to go inside the Magic Tower for now.

The scenery inside the Magic Tower was completely different from before.

Magic tool shops were densely packed inside the Magic Tower as well.

Ah!

A giant standing near the entrance caught Minhyuk’s eye.

It was the Magic Tower Master.

He approached him and asked.

“What exactly is going on here?”

The Magic Tower Master smiled broadly and replied.

“If there’s any magic tool you need among the ones sold here, you can buy them and take them back to your original timeline.”
