Chapter 368

ED:

‘Damn it, there’s no end to thinking like this!’

Like rock-paper-scissors, a thought twisted once is blocked by a twisted thought twice and a thought twisted twice is blocked by a thought twisted thrice.

When Leeha stopped with an operation plan as he listened to Alexander’s advice, someone walked out from the back of the group.

“What’s important is that we have to kill them all anyway. Whether it’s Bluebeard or the Demon King’s army, all we have to do is wipe them out. Or...... Are you afraid Alexander?”

The barrel of the [Cobalt Blue Python] looked bluer in the moonlight.

Luger, who seemed like he would cut off his opponent’s arms if he was asked to play rock-papers-scissors, had eyes as blue as his weapon.

“The only reason you are alive Luger, is because you are part of the subjugation team.”

Alexander didn’t even turn his head toward Luger.

The attitude of the absolute made the surrounding atmosphere tense in an instant, but Luger was not someone who cared about such things.

“Funny man. I don’t think that’s what an idiot who let Faust escape should say. If you’re going to drag the golden lizard behind you and run away with your tail like that, you should give up your ranking.”Vissit novelbin(.)c.om for updates

“Idiot?”

Luger should be completely ignored. Alexander knew that too.

However, Luger’s words were mixed with an annoying undertone that made it impossible to ignore him.

“......Do you think Alexander and I will fall for your provocation just because we made a mistake once, Luger?”

Bailephus, who was behind Alexander, made a small sigh and stopped Alexander.

“Partner is right. There’s no need to waste energy on someone unworthy like you, Luger.”

Both Alexander and Bailephus wanted to punish Luger, but couldn’t. Even while talking to Luger, their eyes were directed elsewhere.

As Bailephus said, the no. 1 ranker and his dragon, who made a ‘mistake’ once, were reflecting on themselves and trying to control themselves.

“Now, now, stop it. What are you talking about all of a sudden? With the enemy in front of us....... Luger, you should also distinguish where you can and cannot act up. You’re doing something unnecessary at such an important moment.”

“You’re the one who’s doing something unnecessary, Ha Leeha. Like you said, ‘with the enemy right in front of us’. what are you worried about? Did you forget who we have to fight anyway? Since when did [Bullseye]’s bullets start rolling around on the ground?”

“What was that?”

“It is not the time to be cautious. The enemy is already out of sight.”

Warmonger. War mercenary. Luger instinctively knew the timing.

‘......It’s not even a gun that’s aimed at the gauge...’

Leeha wanted to say something, but he held back because it was a reasonable suggestion.

The problem was that the others couldn’t stand it.

“There is nothing wrong with being careful given the possibility that Bluebeard might be present. We’re already catching up to the enemy, and they don’t know we’re following them. After taking enough time to observe, there would be no problem if Bailephus approached them and blocked the space. Being impatient will only ruin the job.”

“Does a loser have any right to speak? Why don’t you keep quiet when you lost to the 8th place in the rankings?”

“Shut up, Luger. I did not lose.”

Alexander’s expression slowly hardened.

Seeing his face, Luger continued with his provocation.

“Ah, that’s right. You did not lose. You lost him. What dragon did you say appeared? While your lizard fought Faust’s lizard, you, who couldn’t do anything without a dragon, must have only been able to suck your fingers, didn’t you?”

It was too much of a provocation.

Seeing that, Leeha tried to say,’Get him! Get him!’, but Leeha managed to stop Lee Jiwon, but he was not able to stop Alexander, the actual party involved.

“......Bailephus.”

“What is it, partner?”

“Please don’t interfere.”

“What do you mean?”

Alexander did not answer Bailephus’ question.

Step, step, he moved out of the forest.

However, everyone could see his action of holding his spear with both hands and his intention to distance himself from the subjugation team.

“W-wait, Alexander-ssi! Now is not-”

“Come on, Luger. Today, I am going to get that cheeky mouth off your face.”

“Kyahaha! A duel without your dragon? Alright, there are a lot of witnesses, so

it’s just right.”

“-what are talking about, Luger! ah, ahhh! Can the both of you stop?”

Leeha was flustered, but the fire had already spread.

The anxiety that had existed since the formation of the subjugation team exploded when the enemy was before his eyes.

“It can’t be stopped anymore, hyungnim. I was nervous when I looked at their crazy eyes.”

Leeha and Kidd already knew.

If it was Luger’s used his strongest skill first, it would already be decided.

It ripped open the bodies of a hundred northern trolls.

The strongest skill worthy of being called [Pierce].

“That is what I want to say. You bastard don’t really know me! [Jagdpanzer Kanone].”

Wiiiiiinh———-.

‘As expected...’

Leeha could feel the extreme energy flowing through Luger’s cannon.

Kidd watching from the side also reacted with his body flinching as if he was Luger’s opponent.

It was a skill so strong that it had 10 seconds of casting time.

The proportion of casting time and damage was a fact that Alexander was also aware of, but he maintained a detached expression while glancing at the muzzle pointed at him.

“I am humanity’s first Dragon Knight. At the same time, however, I am also a dragoon.”

Click-!

Alexander raised his spear.

It was a ‘one hit’ fight, so he must not attack Luger. He shouldn’t even move.

He had to take Luger’s attack head-on.

“There’s no ‘existence’ better than me at handling the spear. Even if it is a god. [Split Buster].”

Kiiiing——-!

The energy was being concentrated on their respective weapons.

The tip of Alexander’s spear felt like a laser pointer to Leeha.

‘The mana is continuing to gather at one point. What is he trying to do with that? It is not a defensive skill, it looks like an offensive skill ...’

Is it to stab Luger to death? It can’t be! Anyway, he won’t be able to see anything after seeing the conclusion clearly.

‘I don’t think it is a defensive skill...... what is he going to do with an offensive skill?’

Leeha’s guess was relatively accurate.

Alexander’s skill was an ‘offensive skill’. However, there was no law that said that an offensive skill must only attack people.

“Farewell, my friend!”

Finally, after 10 seconds, Luger aimed his cannon at Alexander and pulled the trigger.

Baaaaang———-

———!

Everyone watched the explosion, which was made after a fraction of a second.

Rather, it looked like a still image of it being cut to the surrounding viewers.

An aftershock erupted from the back of [Cobalt Blue Python] with an explosion.

What caught everyone’s eyes more than the aftermath was the flames that ran from Luger’s muzzle like a line and shot at Alexander.

Alexander aimed his spear at the flames.

The flame touching the tip of the pear ‘split into two’.

“What!?”

Luger’s strongest skill split in front of Alexander’s skill.

Boom, booom———-!

The divided shell helplessly discharged its explosive energy into the surrounding terrain, and the expression of Alexander, who blocked it, was calm.

“......Crazy...... no way. He split the skill......?”

It was difficult to imagine for Leeha. No, it was possible in theory.

‘Tale could also split Ram Hwayeon and Ram Hwajeong’s magic before. However, cutting the visible form of magic with a sword and what just happened are different...’

No matter how fast it was, it was magic that moved less than 100 km per hour.

Tale’s ability to see and react to it was sufficient, but what about Luger’s canon?

‘It was a flat terrain self-propelled cannon! No matter how slow it was, it was not that slow! Even if it is conservative estimation, it is still about the same speed as the speed of sound?!’

Due to the large shell, it cannot achieve the speed of Leeha’s Black Bass, but it should at least be at the speed of sound!

If he assumed that it was 340m per second, which was similar to sound, it would exceed 1,200 km per hour. This means that Luger’s skill is 10 times faster than that of ordinary wizards.

Leeha was surprised, and Lee Jiwon bit his lip.

Even Ram Hwajeong, who said she was not interested, was so shocked that her eyes became like a rabbit’s.

However, they were all just spectators. Right now, the person who couldn’t accept this situation the most was the person who used the skill, Luger himself.
