Transcendent Warrior With A Dimensional Shifting Inventory 91

The man standing in front of the magic tower entered the eyes of the red dragon.
A strong sense of chaos was felt from him.
“So you’re the visitor.”
Minhyuk was also looking at the red dragon.
It was several times larger than the other dragons he had seen so far.
It must have been Srinagam, the red dragon who reigned as the king of dragons.
‘I was really popular with dragons.’
The Wyvern’s words were true.
He said that the dragons would be desperate to kill Minhyuk.
A black dragon came looking for him inside the magic tower, and as soon as he came out of the magic tower, the red dragon, the leader of the dragons, came looking for him.
It wasn’t a bad thing.
I was going to find their nest anyway,
But it saved me the trouble as they all came to me on their own feet.
Swish-
The red dragon turned its head and looked around.
Then he asked Minhyuk.
His voice was not loud, but it was heard clearly even though he was far away.
[Where did you hide all your men?]
The red dragon already knew that Minhyuk’s soldiers were stationed around the magic tower.
That was what he’d heard from the Red Dragon.
However, when he arrived at the watchtower, Minhyuk was the only one there.
“They all went home a while ago.”
Minhyuk had finished all of his duties at the watchtower.
So, he’d used Kaon to withdraw all the soldiers to Astel Fortress.
Just as Minhyuk himself was about to teleport to Astel, the red dragon appeared.
[I’m a little late. If I had come a little sooner, I could have incinerated all of your limbs as a gift to commemorate our first meeting and turned you into a pile of charcoal.]
“Are dragons usually this talkative? If you’re going to attack, just attack already.”
Clank-
Minhyuk loaded the minigun and aimed it at the red dragon.
Then, the red dragon replied with an expression of amusement.
[There’s no need to rush me. I will burn you to death in less time than it takes for a fly’s wings to burn off in a flash of lightning. However, it would be a shame to end it too quickly, so I’m just enjoying some foreplay for now...]
“Wow, you really are talkative.”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Minhyuk opened fire on the red dragon with the minigun.
During his day spent in the isolated world of the watchtower square, he had modified the minigun at one of the magic tool shops there.
He had added a magical effect to the minigun that counteracted the physical force caused by the recoil, eliminating the recoil from firing.
So, it had become a recoilless gun with absolutely no recoil.
Originally, recoilless guns in modern weapons eliminated recoil by expelling the explosive gas out of the back of the barrel.
The force of that backblast was so powerful that it could harm not only the shooter but also the friendly forces behind them.
However, Minhyuk’s magical recoilless gun didn’t have that drawback.
He could fire precision shots safely and comfortably.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Minhyuk continued to fire at the Red Dragon.
As the shells exploded, shrapnel flew in all directions.
The red dragon’s hide was torn, and blood gushed out.
However, it didn’t even flinch.
Its size meant that it was also incredibly tough.
BOOM-
Light burst out from the red dragon’s entire body.
It was using healing magic.
The wounds all over its body were healed in an instant.
Then, immediately,
Whoosh-
It vanished like smoke.
‘Where did it go?’
Whoosh-
The red dragon suddenly appeared right in front of Minhyuk’s nose.
Minhyuk was startled and resumed firing.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Even as blood poured from the cannon wounds, the creature didn’t flinch.
Information about the creature appeared before Minhyuk’s eyes.
This one was slightly different from the other dragons he had faced so far.
It wasn’t just a dragon, it was a Flame Dragon.
He had heard about Flame Dragons from Professor Raymon.
‘Wyverns’ were completely different creatures from dragons, but ‘Flame Dragons’ fell into the category of dragons.
Regular dragons typically lived for several thousand years, but some individuals lived for tens of thousands of years.
“I’m from a very small countryside that you wouldn’t know even if I told you.”
“Well, there are many small towns in Fromm. I’d rather be in a small countryside than a big city like this.”
“I have some items I’d like to sell.”
Minhyuk got straight to the point.
He didn’t have time to listen to the shopkeeper’s chit-chat.
He needed to quickly secure some cash and come up with a plan to block the Red Dragon’s flames.
The shopkeeper asked Minhyuk with a slightly nervous expression, “What do you have for me?”
Minhyuk placed a handful of Star Metal grains on the table.
Then, as if on cue, the shopkeeper’s expression brightened.
“Oh! So much Star Metal!”
Last time, he had offered 100,000 Dalant for a handful, and it had been accepted right away.
So this time, he offered 10 times that amount.
“1,000,000 Dalant.”
The shopkeeper waved his hand dismissively.
“Oh, 1,000,000 Dalant is too expensive. 500,000 Dalant, maybe.”
“Then 900,000.”
“600,000.”
“800,000.”
“700,000! I can’t go any higher.”
“Fine.”
The price for a handful of Star Metal was set at 700,000 Dalant.
That was 7 times higher than last time.
Minhyuk sold 100 handfuls of Star Metal.
He secured 70,000,000 Dalant.
Considering the cost of living here, it was about 70 billion won in Korean currency.
He wasn’t sure if this amount of money would be enough to secure a way to block the Red Dragon’s flames.
Well, if he ran out of money, he could always sell more Star Metal.
“By any chance, do you know of a way to block a Wyvern’s flames?”
Minhyuk asked the shopkeeper before leaving the materials shop.
He didn’t deal in weapons or armor, but he might know something.
The shopkeeper scratched his chin with his index finger and said,
“Even among Wyverns, the strength of their flames varies greatly depending on the species. Which species of Wyvern are you referring to?”
Minhyuk recalled the information about the Red Dragon.
He was of the ‘Flarma’ species.
“A Flarma Wyvern.”
“Flarma! They have the strongest flames among Wyverns! There’s no way to block their flames with ordinary methods! Are you planning to hunt a Flarma Wyvern?”
Minhyuk nodded.
“Then you’ll need very special armor. There’s only one place in the world that deals in such rare armor.”
“Where is that?”
The shopkeeper pointed to the top of the Magic Tower with his finger.
“The very peak of the Magic Tower.”
.

Crackle-
Minhyuk arrived at the top floor of the Magic Tower through a teleportation portal.
The Magic Tower in this era was not a dungeon where monsters popped out.
It was like a shopping mall where stores were located on each floor.
There was a teleportation portal on each floor, so you could freely move between floors.
There were also hundreds of stores on the top floor.
He walked around slowly, looking around, and found the store that the material shop owner had introduced him to.
Minhyuk entered the store.
The store was not that big.
A middle-aged woman with a warm body who was sitting at the counter got up and approached Minhyuk when she saw him.
“Welcome! Are you here for custom-made armor?”
“I need armor that can block the fire of the Flamma Wyvern...”
“But customer...”
She looked at the armor that Minhyuk was currently wearing and made a surprised expression.
“Where on earth did you get such armor? No matter how much retro is in fashion these days, that’s too much!”
It was a roundabout way of saying that the armor he was wearing had terrible performance.
“My underwear has higher defense than that customer’s armor. Hohoho!”
She said, holding back her laughter when Minhyuk didn’t respond.
“Oh my, I’m sorry. You’re not offended, are you?”
“Not at all.”
Her salesmanship to stimulate the customer’s pride was obvious to Minhyuk.
Minhyuk ignored it and asked the main question again.
“Do you have any armor here that can block the fire of the Flamma Wyvern?”
Then the store owner nodded with a serious expression.
“Of course! If you wear the latest flame-retardant armor that I recently made, the fire of the Flamma Wyvern will feel like a warm spring breeze.”
