Chapter 247
Young Hoham, known among the Awakened as the master of naval warfare, was now feeling the same excitement he had when he first saw Kang Hyun's abilities.
What a jumbo horse. Really?
When he was first contacted by Vito Corleone, he was surprised.
Vito Corleone was someone he'd known for years, having met him in many dungeons. He owed him a lot of money, and he never thought he'd pay it off by helping his son.
Vito even asked him to accompany his son to a marine dungeon, a not-so-difficult request.
He decided to repay the debt by accepting the request, since it was a win-win situation for him.
Of course, it wasn't unexpected.
The child entering the dungeon with him is not of his own blood, but the son of Vito Corleone.
He's even said to be the head of the Seoul Hero Academy, where his mentee belongs.
It was no ordinary person who could attract people's attention with just two words.
In reality, his skills were also quite outstanding.
There are probably a few kids in his age group who are stronger than him. Young Hoham thought to himself.
But,
-Shut up!
I didn't know he was that good.
He never thought he would try to copy one of his original techniques, the "marlin".
And even with a bit of a template.
That guy, he's learned aura techniques!
He was very familiar with Kwak Chun-sik, as he was also a boxing hero.
Kwak Chun-sik's status in Korea had already reached the level of a great man'.
And the growth of those who inherit his power means.
More. I want to see more.
That's what makes every man's heart beat.
That's the kind of personal greed.
And he wondered if Eugene read his mind.
Do you think I can face it alone?
Originally, dragons in the East were monsters that could only be raided by top-level heroes.
But curiously, Eugene couldn't help but smile at the thought of facing the dragon alone.
Yeah. That's a man.
And for some reason, he had a feeling he could do it.
"The earthworm kid thinks he's going to win?"
-Gee, worm?! How insolent!
At the same time as the Dragon King shouted, dark clouds began to form inside the Dragon Palace.
The inky clouds rising from the sea were an unorthodox sight, but the opponent was a dragon, an existence that could twist common sense.
-I will crush you!
Kwalung!
Strong thunder and lightning crashed down from the clouds, and the surrounding ocean currents began to swirl.
"A lightning bolt in the water, and an electric eel, too!"
Young Hoham checks on the children behind him as the sudden surge hits.
Luckily, the kids were able to resist the blast with the help of Young-jae and Se-ah's shield.
"Come on! Turn the current!"
"Yes. Master!"
Young Hoham's order is followed by Kang Hyun, who grabs hold of the water and beats it, and the raging current slows down a bit.
But still, the thunderbolts continue to fall around him.
This is awkward.
For a fighter like him, who specializes in close combat, it's the worst.
Young Hoham turned his head, figuring Eugene wouldn't be too happy about being exposed to lightning.
"Huh?"
The scene in front of him was absolutely ridiculous.
* * *
Thunderbolts continued to fall from the cloud Dragon King had created.
Even though I was wearing Black Mist, my skin was still tingling, so I couldn't imagine how much damage I would have received without it.
Meanwhile, Young Hoham was enduring the onslaught like it was nothing.
Eh, the world isn't fair after all.
How much resistance does one have to have to take a dragon king's attack like it's an electric massage?
It was a physical ability that was completely incomprehensible to the normal mind.
But it's an old clich that ignorant attacks are incredibly destructive.
-Bam!
The dragon king, still pinned to the wall, begins to struggle.
"Now!"
Young-jae, Kang Hyun, and Jin-woo moved in front of him using Se-ah's ability.
"Allegrissimo (very fast)!"
Young-jae buffs Jin-woo's body.
"Go for it."
Kang Hyun propels Jin-woo's body by moving the current.
"You fucking earthworm! How dare you make me do the dogeza! Get lost!"
With an emotional scream, Jin-woo stood on top of the dragon king's head and began to swing his Thought Dagger (Dragon) wildly, turning the creature's head into a rag.
Normally, an ordinary dagger would not even be able to wound a dragon, but Jin-woos weapon was made from the bones of a dragon.
It even had a corruption attribute, so it was more than enough to hurt him.
-Gmaaaaan!!!
"Se-ah, get back with the kids!"
I yell, and the kids teleport straight back.
All that teamwork training from the first semester pays off.
Kwalung, kwalung, kwalung!
At the same time, a huge storm erupts where the kids were just a moment ago, electrocuting everything around.
Of course, it didn't seem to work on me and Young Hoham.
-This is my domain, the sea, and I will kill you all today!
It wriggled around to crush everything around it. At the same time, the roof and walls of the dragon palace begin to collapse, scattering debris around, but.
"Wave Water."
We used the wave to send the debris raining down on us back at him.
Originally, it's a technique used to shake the ground to disrupt movement around you, but since the location was underwater, the amount of impact from my feet was beyond my imagination.
This should work.
I turn my body again and point my head towards the creature, then I immediately activate the technique once more.
The recoil sent his body soaring upward at a tremendous speed, as if he were a rocket.
"I've got it."
-How can a land fish reach such speeds?!"
I spin my body and kick the creature in the jaw, then lunge for its head.
In my right hand I hold Ascalon, a weapon specialized for use against dragons.
Since the creature is not Evil, it doesn't have the extra multiplier, but since I've already overloaded with damage targeting the dragons, I drive Ascalon into its head with a single, deep shot that pierces its skull.
-Poof!
Was it because I tried to force it into the wrong place? Ascalon didn't go in.
-Damn you, fish, get away from me!
But that alone was enough to cause the dragon king to struggle and try to throw me off.
"Brother Youngho!"
"That's all you need to do!"
Young Hoham, who had risen up from below, struck the beast's chin upwards, and Ascalon had definitely pierced the dragon skin.
What to do now, then, is simple.
"Solitary Sword!"
Just as I did with Fafnir, I simply turn the creature's body inside out with my aura.
In addition to that, I release all of the lightning I've been saving up.
"I'll cook you from the inside out!"
I scatter lightning and aura all over the creature's body, crippling it from the inside.
Just like that.
Koo-koo-koo-koo-koo-koo-koo!
The Sea Dragon King finally crashes into the wreckage of the Dragon Palace.
At the same time, a message appeared in front of me.
