World's Strongest Troll

Chapter 165 Kill the Dragon (9)

A lizard with a heavy ass appears. Even though he was transformed into a human, Tan could clearly see through his identity. Other humans didn't seem to be aware of it, but the strong scent of magic accumulated in his heart tickled Tan's nose.

“There are children of lizards who really hate me...”

Tan muttered with a face that said, “No, this is what happens?” However, perhaps not noticing his existence, Cervenian was muttering to himself while looking down at the broken sword with a slightly serious look.

“Why is the divine sword of the demon realm displayed in such a pitiful shop...? Even in a state of complete fragmentation.”

Although I have never seen it myself, I have heard of its name and appearance thousands of times. That's why he was able to recognize its identity as soon as he saw it, but he squinted at the sword in such a miserable state with an incomprehensible face.

“The remaining power is too weak... At this level, it has completely disappeared to the extent that it can be said that only traces remain.”

Deathbringer, the magic sword that corrupts everything. However, a look of bewilderment appeared on his face when he confirmed that he had little strength left to exert that absolute and powerful power.

“What the hell just happened...? It wouldn't be such a small thing that the divine power of the limit was completely destroyed...”

A weapon that symbolizes the Demon Realm and a valuable item cherished by the Demon King, the ruler of the Demon Realm. I don't know what the reason was, but at this level, it wouldn't be strange even if the mad king foamed at the mouth and opened the gate to launch a large-scale invasion of the entire continent.

But even in such a serious situation, the continent is so calm. Everything was peaceful and there were no major problems for him to worry about. Except for the recent large-scale conflict between humans. So, after pondering something in his head for a while, he immediately thought.

‘Should I report it...?'

The divine Deathbringer, called the symbol of the Pandemonium. Since it was a mythological object that was completely different from other ancient artifacts, the greed in his heart began to rise. Whether to gulp this thing by himself or to report it to the rod and get it by moving at the level of the tribe.

‘If it's something like this... it's perfect for the demon collection I've been collecting, but...'

However, a hatchling that was just born from an egg or a dragon Kervenian that has already spent all of its fast-moving childhood. If he had been a thousand years younger, he wouldn't have worried about this.

‘I don't know why... but it's a thing that has lost most of its power anyway, and those bastard bats don't show any special trends...'

Still, if they eat it, they won't burst to death. Cervenian exuded a lot of air and meticulously measured its angle. And as soon as he realized that he would not get sick if he ate it, he made up his mind. He said that he would secretly gulp the broken magic of the demon realm.

“The auction will be held in the next three weeks...”

A notice stating that the item will be sold to the person who openly bids the highest amount. A strange smile appeared on Kervenian's face after reading it.

“It should be simple.”

Among the numerous competitions that exist in the world, Kervenian was most confident in the competition for money.

A huge amount of gold coins extracted from gold mines hidden all over the continent by extorting the dwarves piled up in his lair. Periodically destroying human empires and kingdoms, rare weapons and jewels that have been robbed. And beautiful artwork. In addition, rare materials received from all kinds of races, and powerful magic weapons that he made for leisure. On top of that, from time to time, he seriously researched magic and wrote numerous magic books.

His treasure house was full of things of such great value that the entire continent could be turned upside down if only a few were released. Of course, even if it was just gold coins, if released on the continent, it had an amount beyond imagination to cause hyperinflation, even temporarily.

he was not confident He was the one who would lose the money competition with humans and be robbed of this item. That's why Cervenian withdrew for now. In order to prevent unnecessary suspicion and fuss in the most legitimate and legal way and to gulp this stuff as quietly as possible. Without even noticing the death trap that was slowly laying in front of him.

After the red dragon Kervenian disappeared. Tan immediately moved through space and flew in front of Jaeyoung at once.

“master! It's up! It really floated!”

What was he doing? Jaeyoung was drawing something with a tree branch in a quiet empty lot. He was not greatly agitated by Tan's fuss, and just said calmly.

“I know....? Just in case, did you bite the bait?”

Originally, a dragon that you would never meet in your entire life. In particular, the case of wandering while enjoying play in a human state was also close to impossible to find by normal methods, so Tan was enthusiastic about the red dragon that walked out on its own.

“what? What is your reaction?”

However, unlike him, Jaeyoung and L are infinitely calm. Seeing the two of them like that, Tan asked with a puzzled expression on his face.

“Um... that's because there's a problem. I am thinking about what to do.”

“problem? What's the problem?”

The dragon head-picking operation was planned with spontaneous ideas. However, in the process of making a detailed plan, Jae-young discovered a big problem that he had not been able to figure out until now.

“It seems that it will not be easy for any dragon to survive with a bamboo spear. That's because the absolute powerful authority is contained in it.”

“yes?”

A dragon that fulfills the mission of protecting Arcadia. That's why, endowed with a mighty body, overflowing vitality, infinite mana and transcendental intelligence, they are a race that cannot be killed by nature. However, the bamboo spear is so powerful that even the Dragon Lord Goldrian, the head of such a powerful race, cannot avoid it. That's why L didn't think that Jaeyoung's plan was so absurd.

“However, the problem is how to hold on without dying until that one shot is successful. First of all, the most important thing is that you must not use that bamboo spear until it returns to its original form.”

“Eh? why?”

Jae-young, who was in human form, even thought of a plan to secretly stab a bamboo spear from behind. However, when El told me not to do that, I asked with a puzzled face.

“A human heart and a dragon heart are the same? If you kill them in human form, their mighty magical power and vitality will dissipate as soon as you lose control. Then you will only get a human heart with a little more mana.”

L said that he had to stab a bamboo spear while manifesting in the form of his main body. At her words, Jaeyoung scratched his head with a slightly troubled face.

“Hmm... this is a bit difficult.”

A match with a dragon.

Although in a human state, a lot of power is limited, but it was never at the level that no one, including Jae-young, could deal with alone, so it was almost impossible to push him to the limit.

“Let’s say I made it into the state of my body somehow. There is another important problem there.”

“okay? What's wrong...?”

“What is it? It's magic.”

When Jaeyoung asked L, who seemed to be contemplating something with a serious expression on his face, Tan interrupted.

“I’ve said it before, but throwing out the role play that the lizard in the middle of the game was absorbed in and going back to its original form is either mad at the level of killing you, or do you really think I’m going to die? I say that I feel a sense of crisis to the extent that I do.”

“....so?”

“As I said before, if you cast circle 9 magic with sincerity, the answer will disappear.”

9 circle magic.

The highest level of magic that exists in Arcadia, and an authority that was only allowed to dragons. It was not yet clear whether the users could reach it, but the 9th circle magics I heard from El and Tan were only ones that were so savage and boasted tremendous destructive power that the words ‘This is a piece of shit!' came out.

“Either devastating the continent with Meteor Swarm, freezing everything with Ice Age, or just sinking the entire continent with Earth’s Punishment. What... is it just the owner and if he goes crazy and destroys everything while no one can fix it, isn't it because there's no answer?”

“No, you damn bat. Shut up and listen.”

L cut off his words and glared at Tan, who was in vain, with an annoyed look, then looked at Jaeyoung with a serious face and said,

“From my point of view... maybe that worst situation won’t happen. For once, the dragon who has to protect this place will not be able to abandon its mission and use ultimate magic that completely betrays its original purpose.”

Arcadia was not attacked by invaders from the other world like in the previous Holy Demon War, and the possibility of doing something crazy that produced countless innocent victims was not very high, so El did not worry much about the problem.

“But... maybe if you use circle 9 magic, you’ll use magic limited to Dex-sama.”

“me?”

Transcendent intelligence and mental strength. And the Balaur, endowed with endless magical power. They possessed a special magic that gave creatures inferior to them a sense of fear and helplessness arising from their instincts just by exuding their presence.

“Power Word Kill. It's a spell that can absolutely kill one creature you want. Even if other things cannot be used because of the collateral damage caused by its powerful destructive power, this magic is an exception.”

A magic that can unconditionally kill a target weaker than oneself with just the manifestation of magic. It was a fraudulent magic that did not even consider the game balance to the point where I nodded my head why it was classified as the 9th circle. And L looked at Jaeyoung and said with a slightly embarrassed face.

“I don’t know about the other things... but as a human being, if that death order is declared, maybe even Dex-sama won’t be safe. And if he dies...”

The red dragon Kervenian, who will leisurely hide somewhere with the Deathbringer. In that case, finding him again would be a long way off, so if he failed, the risk would be too great to handle.

“what? So, isn't this a big deal? If my new sword is stolen by that bastard lizard, I might not be able to find it.”

Fragments of the Deathbringer whose power is so weak that you can't even feel their presence if you're far away. Tan was clearly perplexed, knowing that things would get complicated if the sword went into the dragon's lair, which had a strong protective magic on it.

“Hey, master. Does this sound too risky? Why don’t you just soften up now?”

The dragon's heart is also important, but the crushed Deathbringer is more precious than that. However, despite his words, Jaeyoung pondered something and then asked.

“Are you sure it only applies to those magical creatures?”

“yes....? What do you mean by that.....”

L answers while looking at Jaeyoung, who asks an obvious question, with a puzzled look. Jaeyoung smiled at her answer.

“Then that is the matter. There seems to be a way to respond.”

“yes....? What the hell is that?”

Jaeyoung is looking at something with a mysterious smile. Tan and L didn't know it, but an information window was shining in front of them.
