Chapter 408: Dialugia, Juliana (2)
Crack! Craaa.s.shhh!
The sight of her stepping on the enemy like they were ants was indeed ridiculous to behold.
The dragon with a giant horn made anyone on the battlefield feel both fear and awe.
Actually, that was the reaction of the enemy forces.
Some raised their heads as if they couldn’t believe it, others had their mouths wide open, and a few even rubbed their eyes. They might have heard about the fact that there was a dragon through a briefing beforehand, but there was a distinctive difference between hearing a story and actually seeing it.
It was even more surprising for the original inhabitants of the continent.
Having a surprised look on their faces was only natural. She was so huge that anyone had to look up to see her in her entirety.
She had enormous eyes, huge fangs and claws that awakened anyone’s primal fear, and a glossy black and white outer sh.e.l.l that looked harder than most armors.
And it probably was.
She ignored any attack coming from the common soldiers. Her basic magic resistance was also beyond imagination.
For some reason, I was proud. Of course, to be easily targeted was a weakness. However, in that kind of battlefield, there was no ally as reliable as her.
“My…”
“Attack! Attack! Rain down magic upon her!”
“It’s a dragon! A dragon!”
“Attack the wings! Wings! If we follow the briefing, we can catch it!”
“Check the location of the unit responsible for the dragon! Do it now!”
Although the surroundings had already become noisy, it seemed that our proud Dragon General couldn’t hear the cry of the people, including human companions.
With a single swipe of her tail, the enemy soldiers were blown away into the sky simultaneously.
It was quite spectacular to watch her tail scratch the ground and sweep entire ranks of troops equipped with shields.
Craaaa.s.shhh!
“Huuuh?”
“Get out of the way!”
Baaaaannnggg!
It even looked as if magic had fallen. Of course, n.o.body could just end the battle with that.
After inhaling deeply, she exhaled her Breath at the enemy’s side, causing a large beam of light to crash onto the opponents’ ranks in an instantaneous manner.
Naturally, her body began to be pushed back by its sheer recoil.
A huge defensive magic circle wrapped around the place where the Breath fell, but it didn’t take long for it to start producing crackling sounds. The Breath poured through the cracked protective magic, increasing the fatalities of their opponents.
The power of the Breath spewed out of her mouth as if vomiting her resentment towards her hardworking parenting.
I didn’t know how much damage she did, but it was enough to say it was a pleasant scene for us.
‘I love you, wife!’
I expressed my pa.s.sionate support unconsciously. I wanted to dance, and it felt unfair that I couldn’t do just that.
Had it not been for the surrounding eyes, I would have already stuck to Dialugia’s leg and kissed her pa.s.sionately.
She continued breaking the heads of the nearby enemy forces. Although it was moving a little different from her, Juliana was also active.
The self-moving ego sword penetrated through the narrow and densely populated battlefield and pierced the ordinary soldiers’ necks without hesitation.
Of course, it didn’t work with those at a certain level, but there were a lot of soldiers who couldn’t handle Juliana.
The sword flew around the battlefield like a mosquito, moving vertically and horizontally without a wielder fascinatingly.
‘That’s why they always talk a lot about ego swords! An Ego sword! Haha!’
Typically, some humans were strong to the weak and weak to those who were strong.
I couldn’t deny that I was such a human, but even I couldn’t imagine that my fighting abilities would also follow that personality.
‘The Seal-Clubber!’
It was a nickname that was a bit unpleasant for me to give myself. However, there was no word that better expressed my combat ability than that t.i.tle.
I smiled widely.
It was then that a voice echoed in my head.
-Did I get here too late?
-Gedric! My Gedric!
-Aren’t I asking if I’m late, husband?!
-My Gedric! Where have you been? Why have you…
-It’s been a while. Where on earth were you, and what were you doing… Aren’t you curious about how Max and Luria are doing? It’s really hard to see your face. So, have you fully recovered? You must have been really sick. Yes. Really!
-Gedric, Gedric!
-Are you listening to me? If you are listening, answer!
-Gedriic!!
There was a momentary head-shaking noise, but I was still in a good mood.
This was the first time where the unpleasant nagging and cries for Gedric felt so adorable. It seemed that they couldn’t hear each other.
They were pouring out only what they wanted to say. Although my head had been rumbled a little, I was ready to listen to any annoyances or craziness.
First, Dialugia.
‘No. You arrived at just the right time, Dialugia. So, is Tol To-ri doing well?’
-She’s not. You don’t know how hard it was to stop her from following you when she heard the news that you were sick. Yes. It was really hard.
‘It would have been nice if you said that it was enough to be worried.’
-Then, what should I say as the reason why her father doesn’t come to see her? Of course, I understand that you have your own life and work, but… please do not neglect your family because of this useless war. Max is also very upset. Please make sure to spend a lot of time with Luria after this war ends.
‘Of course. Of course, I will. Definitely.’
-Why do humans waste time doing these useless things every time…?
‘As you know, it’s not a war we started. They started it. From my perspective, I believe you’ll take it into consideration since it is to protect the precious place of life, Dialugia. If we let them be, they would push their troops back to Lindel, where the precious nest is located. What would be worse than that? While you’re protecting our home from within, you can think of me doing the same from the outside.’
-…
‘Ahem. Ahem.’
-You’re never out of reb.u.t.tals as always. A human like you… sigh…
‘Well, it’s all true, so what can I do?’
The irritation on Dialugia’s face was highly evident.
However, it didn’t look like she could refute it, so she was soothing her anger by swaying her tail.
‘More importantly, now…’
-You don’t have to worry about the human Park Deokgu. I left someone there on the way who could help him, too.
‘What?’
-The human with red hair. Cha Hee-ra, that person.
‘Yo, Yolo…’
-What is Yolo?
I had been expecting it, but when I thought that Cha Hee-ra had gone to Park Deokgu, I felt like a heavy burden had been removed from my shoulders.
My already wide smile had gotten even wider.
I felt completely rea.s.sured that the Russian Pak Deokgu’s head would be completely shattered.
‘It’s nothing. First, prepare to move. It would be dangerous to stay here. You can go up to the sky and keep them in check. No… I think it would be better for us to go to the main unit together.’
-Okay.
It was formal and rough for a conversation between a husband and wife that had met after a long time apart, but I thought that much was okay.
We were in a situation where we had to keep moving, so I couldn’t focus on the conversation properly.
Juliana’s voice echoing in my head didn’t help, either.
Even at that moment, the voice calling out to Gedric made my head ache. I had to change the channel as quickly as I could. It was already screaming.
-Gedric! My voice! Can’t you hear my voice? Gedric! Gedric! Gedriiiiic! Gedriiiiiic!
I immediately held my breath and began to let my mind talk. I wasn’t ready yet to meet Juliana, but I already saved the story in my mind.
‘Ohh. My Juliana, why are you here?’
-Gedric! My voice has reached you. Gedric! My everything. My love. My all! Where have you been? Gedric! My Gedric!
‘It is because of them that I haven’t met you. This bunch of filthy demons locked me up, tortured me, and threatened me all this time. You don’t know how much I’ve missed you, my Juliana!’
-Ah…
‘Those demons are trying to turn the continent into the new h.e.l.l!’
In fact, I only avoided her because of the memory of her sucking my magic power, but it felt convincible.
Not perfect, but it was still a good excuse.
Of course, a little more supplementary explanation was needed. I thought it would be nice to whisper sweet nothings, but I didn’t think she needed any prior explanations when I looked at her condition.
-These… dirty guys. These dirty! These dirty guys dare to!!!
“…”
-I… I will tear you all to death. I’ll tear you down!
“What is this?”
-These trash b.a.s.t.a.r.ds. You dare, dare!
Black energy began to surround Juliana.
I had an ominous feeling about it. The black haze of smoke clumped together and began to form some strange shape.
‘This crazy…’
[Due to her out-of-control anger, the legendary-grade weapon, ‘Cursed Juliana,’ has been forcibly awakened.]
“So, what does this mean…?”
[Juliana’s seal is temporarily released, and materialization is in progress. -Duration 60 minutes]
“What?”
-You guys, you guys. You guys! Daare! Dare! To try to disturb Gedric and me? You guys, daareeee!
“…”
‘This is crazy.’
My jaws dropped open in shock.
I looked at Juliana in doubt with the system’s message, but the materialization was really in progress.
It was just like what I saw at the Cursed Shrine before.
She had messy hair and blind eyes.
A grotesque dark madwoman was standing with a sword.
She didn’t seem to have realized that she had a body. She randomly swung her sword and screamed, and no matter how I tried, it was impossible to control her.
She even felt stronger than when I met her at the Cursed Shrine.
Just looking at her already told me she was legendary-grade.
-You daaare! Dare! My Gedric… confine my Gedric! And, and! Threaten… violate him? You guys? You guys!?
I never said that I had been violated.
-Those who don’t even know their places! Curse, the curse will fall. Curse! Will fall!! All you guys will be cursed!! You will suffer even after you die. Forever! Even your remains will suffer forever!
Its grotesque appearance, fully revealed, caused awakened instinctive fear.
Of course, the soldiers were more bewildered than I was.
In addition to spraying a curse, black tentacles were being conjured from all sides to tear down the surrounding enemies.
With the continuous screaming, she looked like a madman who sold her soul to the Devil.
‘I have to pretend I don’t know that thing.’
That was the best I could do in that situation.
