The 31st Piece Turns the Tables

Chapter 488:

Just before the Snowfall Expedition collided with the Council, Baldu’s elite soldiers and the High Wings Infiltration Team infiltrated Azanic’s Nest together.

“Your brother was right. Azanic’s nest was hidden here….”

Hekum was dispatched here because he was able to interpret between Highwing and Baldu.

Baldu’s warchief Ka-bu nodded.

In preparation for any unexpected situation, he had a number of troops standing by on the cliff. In order to avoid causing as much trouble as possible, the infiltration was carried out only by elites.

Boom…

Boom…

Hekum took the lead and looked at the road.

Big…

Hekkum takes a deep breath.

“Where are the stolen drakes?”

Because the road was divided into several branches, even Hekum, who has a keen sense of smell, was confused for a moment.

Sigh…

Ka-Boo pointed to one side with his finger.

“I can feel it from there.”

“what?”

“Crying and shouting.”

Although no sound was actually heard, Hekum believed the words of the Baldu who had deep communication with the drakes.

“It’s too quiet…”

“Did Azanik drag everyone away?”

“That’s probably not true… He’s a sneaky guy, so he must have quite a few troops hidden away.”

“Shh… there.”

The curved path led to a stone gate. Among Ajanic’s followers, there were also corrupted humans who stood guard.

But something was strange.

“…you’re sleeping.”

“no. dead. “I can’t feel my breathing.”

“…dead?”

Anxiety overtook me.

The feeling that I had felt earlier that the boundaries were loose became reality and appeared before my eyes.

The stone gate was slightly open, showing a gap.

As if welcoming them.

As if telling you to come here.

“… It’s a trap.”

“Azanik is gone. “Then who is it?”

“They may have deceived us… It may be a ploy to lure us into one place by using the dragon as bait.”

Baldu’s elite warriors shook their heads.

“I can feel it from there.”

“The warriors… aren’t they all crying?”

Hekum turned his head and was able to see the faces of the warriors shedding tears.

Baldu shares his heart with the drake. Their joys and their sorrows. That’s why they are strong.

“If it’s a trap….”

“It won’t be easy to escape.”

“Do you mind if I die here?”

“Without the drake, there is no us.”

“…You idiots.”

Hekum gestured.

“Then let’s go and don’t let your guard down.”

Hekum and Ka-Boo grabbed one side of the stone door and pushed it, and the door opened.

Kugugugugugugung…

When the door opened, a musty smell hit my nose.

“Hmm…”

Hekum and Gosaewing frowned, but the Baldu tribe, including Ka-bu, did not change their complexions at all. No, there were even people smiling brightly.

I’m getting sick from this smell.

This was the body odor of a drake.

The drakes of Wing Canyon were quite clean compared to other flying creatures. Enjoy bathing in an underground lake and avoid getting close to anything dirty.

However, in order to fly in Wing Canyon, it was necessary to prepare for the harsh winds. Therefore, drakes spit oil with their tongues and rub it on their wing membranes. That way, the wings would not be damaged by the harsh winds of the canyon.

That’s why this bad body odor occurs. This becomes even worse when the drakes do not fly for long periods of time.

The faces of the Baldu warriors turned bright red. It was clear that they were drakes.

One of the drake riders said with tears in his eyes.

“Here… here it is. “Our children… are here.”

Ka-Boo nodded and moved forward.

“I’m sure the eggplant is here.”

Low…

Low…

Hekum and the high-winged soldier slowly moved forward, wary of the surroundings.

A nest made by digging a burrow in a cliff. The scale was truly surprising.

It sounded like I was inside a whale’s stomach, and I couldn’t see the ceiling.

“… turn on the lights.”

“But…”

“Come on.”

Grumble-!

Armed with perches, they continued on.

… this person.

Kiyi…

Finally, the drake’s cry was heard.

“… I think I found it.”

“They are our children!”

“Come on…”

Ka-Boo put his index finger on the corner of his mouth.

“Shh… It’s enemy territory.”

Then he snatched a perch and threw it forward.

“What…”

“Stop coming out.”

Grumbling…

rolling…

The perch rolled over and headed forward.

I vaguely seemed to see a squatting man with long hair.

Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssing

…

_ Among those who can approach the drake, there is no one with an impatient personality.

Little information about the man was engraved in Baldu’s mind.

“I’ve never hidden anything.”

A strangely imposing-looking man.

Hekum and Ka-Boo decided that the man was the culprit in making them feel anxious.

Ka-Boo asked.

“Did you leave the door open?”

“… yes.”

“And what about taking care of the guards?”

“….”

Silent affirmation.

The man coughed and said.

“Cough… I thought you would come here.”

“… why?”

“Because these kids were waiting.”

Twisting…

Twisting…

The man’s hand slowly moved away from the bridge of the dragon’s nose. The flying dragon cried as if it was regretful.

“I will return to my family. “It’s a really good thing.”

Sreung…

I’m going to go to the middle of the day!

Baldu’s elite soldiers grabbed their weapons and shouted at the man.

“Get away from the kids!”

“who are you? “Why are you here?”

“Did you plan this!”

The man turned around.

He looks somewhat haggard.

“I’ve been waiting for this day to come for a long time… but it’s too late. Cough…”

“… It’s late?”

“Because I don’t have much time left to live.”

There didn’t seem to be any major problems with the dragons’ energy. Except for one thing: he looks frustrated because he can’t fly.

In that case, what the man said was probably referring to himself.

There was only silence.

Everyone realized that it was a dangerous moment.

It will be decided at this moment whether the opponent will be an enemy or a bystander. Choosing the answer is, of course, Ka-Boo.

What does the other person want?

Who is the opponent?

What did they do with the flying dragon?

Ka-Boo put aside the question and looked into the other person’s eyes. Although he was haggard, his eyes shone like stars.

I decided on an answer.

“I am Ka-boo.”

“… ka-boo.”

“The warchief of Baldu. He is a descendant of his great father, Kha-Zan, and is the great warrior of his clan. “I am ready to die with honor at any time.”

Ka-Boo bowed his head politely.

“Release the drakes. Send him back to his family…”

“Ah… you are a hero. “This is what I expected.”

The man revealed his identity.

“Call me Bunch. “I was once Grizz’s student.”

“That grizz?”

There were very few people who did not know Griz’s name. He was also a person who changed the world.

“Are you really Grizz’s disciple? But why…”

“You know Griz… He is a very talented teacher. I also envied him. “I promised myself that we would study together and change the world.”

“….”

“Cough… haa….”

The man’s breathing became shallow.

He looked like he was having a hard time breathing, as if he had a chronic illness.

“It’s all wrong. My life would have been about changing the world with Grizz… I wouldn’t have been stuck in a place like this satisfying Ajanik’s petty greed… Ugh…” Bunch shed tears

.

“It wouldn’t have been… It wouldn’t have been…”

“… I will help you.”

“….”

“What can I do? “Tell me what you want.”

“… I will release Baldu’s drakes. Instead, there are conditions.”

Bunch said without expression.

“Run now from Azanic.”

“….”

“If everyone lives… I think I can say that I saved many lives. “The dream was far away, but it was a good… life.”

He grinned.

“Then I will return the drake.”

“I cannot grant that request.”

“….”

“We have no intention of backing down. “I’m sorry to disappoint you… Please tell me other conditions.”

“… Are you planning to fight Azanik?”

Nod…

“Azanic, the Sky Dragon… The opponent is the ruler of the sky. “I’m stronger than before, so I’ll be no match for you.”

“ha ha ha! “Maybe so.”

Baldu’s elite soldiers laughed. Those who are not afraid of death. Those who suffer more from the death of the flying dragon than from their own death.

“I’m still going to fight.”

“Big… Ahahaha! “The natives are really stupid… This is… really…”

Bunch grinned.

“It’s a fight with no chance of winning…”

“…”

Bunch said quietly with a blank face.

“Azanik will come back. Seeing as there’s no news… it looks like the plan has been disrupted. Then… I’ll use the next best solution.”

“…the next best thing?”

“Please listen to me. “You are the only way to fight him.”

* * *

Chase!

He’s gone!

Bleep-

search the area!

These guys are like leeches.

Azanik, who was in great pain and unable to fly properly, hid in a place where he could hide himself.

He accelerated in an instant, overtook the wings, and was catching his breath. When I turned into a human, the whole world was my hiding place.

The guys who were chasing me were not my opponents to begin with. As long as you lose your strength, you will fall down on your own.

Each man suffered a great deal of damage from the bizarre equipment he used.

Even the power I had worked so hard to regain was once again eroded by a strange power.

Does not matter.

That’s just a portion of Azanic’s strength.

The plan failed.

With such a shock, even the three giants wouldn’t have been able to wake up. No, in the current situation, it was actually more difficult to wake up.

Since he wouldn’t be able to clearly take the initiative, it was impossible to absorb the power.

“As expected… Is that the only way?”

The moment he escapes from the pain is when the despair of those involved in this comes.

Azanik enjoyed a short break. I leaned against a tree, gasped, and fell into sleep.

…

Ajanik…

Ajanik…

I was sure it was a dream.

Because Tancrid, in human form, approached him.

Tancrid is definitely dead.

However, she was deceiving him by using her mouth as she pleased.

Don’t leave anything to regret. You are the guardian of the sky…

Kwaziik…

“It’s a dirty dream…”

Azanik stood up, trampling on the bushes. A huge black dragon woke up from a dream and flew through the sky.

It’s a really unpleasant dream.

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuckan

…

The chase didn’t work out.

No, in the middle of the flight, guys who looked like scouts appeared, but they couldn’t approach him and walked away.

“Cowards…”

Yes, this is it.

The weight of the name Azanik.

Whoa…

whoa…

The flight to the nest didn’t take long. However, I had no idea how much time had passed. I wonder how much time passed before I was able to escape the strange power of the Ring of Desire…

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu wasssing it!

Azanik flapped his wings and landed lightly on the nest.

“… are you here?”

Azanic, who transformed into a human, said as he looked at Bunch who was talking to him.

“Prepare for departure.”

“I already put it on standby.”

“… hmm.”

Bunchi is a brilliant human being.

It was a waste to catch and eat it, so I kept it alive until now. I thought it was not a bad decision.

“Next plan.”

“….”

“It’s a great deal.”

“Black wings….”

“Yes.”

“Shall we start right away?”

“….”

Azanik walked with long strides and headed towards the living quarters.

Chains hanging from the ceiling.

Bizarrely intertwined machines and suspicious-looking blue rings. They were all far from objects that humans would use.

“… let’s begin.”

“Mmm…”

Giiiiiiing…

The chains came down and covered Azanik’s body with armor. The scales, which are harder than steel, are covered with black armor made of a harder material.

Additionally, the armor had an atromil circuit embedded in it, allowing Azanic to use his power more effectively.

Chiiii …

“big ….”

But terrible pain was followed.

The good news is that Azanik has already adapted to the terrible pain of the Ring of Aspiration and finds this tolerable.

Otherwise, this place would have become chaos.

Clap…

Clap!

“The bomb is….”

“….”

“I understand.”

Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez

_

The core of the armor.

A blue gem was placed near Azanik’s chest.

Bunch stared blankly at the beautiful blue light.

“… Is this the end?”

“Ah, if you just activate it….”

“The activation… doesn’t have to be now. “I guess I’ll have to measure the time.”

“… As you wish.”

Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuq

.

_

Azanik swung his tail and threw away the mechanism that had caused his torment.

A machine that crashes into a wall.

You will probably never be able to use it again. Despite the lack of respect, Bunch laughed.

And it moved like a bell following Azanik.

Azanik stood at the entrance of the nest and prepared to dispatch troops.

“… It’s the smell of Baldu. “What about their drake?”

“I’m not ready yet, so I won’t be able to join the deployment.”

“Then kill them all. “I don’t need it.”

“yes.”

“Bunch…”

Azanic rolled his eyes and doubted Bunch.

“There’s no cheating, right?”

“… Are you fooling me?”

“… good night. I will show you my final mercy. “If I leave, you leave too.”

“yes?”

“I will give you freedom.”

“Ah…”

Bunch was angry.

Azanik knew his physical condition well.

That his life is not long left.

With his weakened body like this, he will probably die in less than a month.

Moreover, whether Ajanik’s plan succeeds or fails, he will die in the aftermath.

It is a consideration that is almost mocking.

“Thank you… Ajanik.”

“Hmph… you insignificant guy.”

It was then.

“Ajaniiiiiiiiik-!”

The cliff opposite.

So, someone’s shout came from a place so far away that it couldn’t be seen with the normal eye.

Azanik identified the person who made the sound.

“Is it Baldu’s kid? Actually, the troll must have told you the location. “I guess I’ll have to postpone the Great World until after they’ve been wiped out.”

Giiiiiiing…

“… What?”

The Atromil bomb in the very center of Azanic’s armor made a sound.

“… What are you doing?”

Bunch grinned.

“Throw it away, lizard.”

“… You released the drakes.”

“The kids just went where they needed to be.”

“I see… you worked hard, Bunch.”

Kwasik-!

Ajanik put the bunch in his mouth and crushed it with his teeth.

Squeak…

Squeak…

“Stop it.”

two-!

The bunch fell down the cliff, their skin, flesh, and bones tangled together and becoming unrecognizable.

“It’s tough.”

Azanik looked at Baldu in the distance.

Ka-Boo shouted, staring at Azanik.

“You winged one, you scaly one.”

His voice reached Azanik’s ears.

“O fire-breather, we have no wings, we have no scales, and we cannot breathe fire. One will fight.”

Baldu’s marching song.

This song resonated throughout the canyon during the heyday of Kha-Zan.

“O descendants! “Protect me!”

Now that the Atromil bomb had activated, we could no longer delay.

Whoo…

whoooo…

As Azanic flew up, a huge number of black dragons followed him. Because they were randomly created creatures, they could not grow normally, so they were not large in size, but they were numerous.

Kwaeeee…

Kyaaaaaaaaaaa!

“We will foolishly fight you. So, you, please realize our foolishness.”

Azanik’s huge wings signaled the start of the fight.

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

of the light emitted by the atromil vessels made his presence even bigger.

However, no one was scared.

Ka-Boo pointed beyond the cliff.

Toward the place where Azanik flew.

“Baldu….”

Squeak…

Sigh…

Wing Canyon.

The place where Baldu and Ajanik had a bloody fight.

The second fight takes place here. Ka-Boo finished saying what Dragonlord Ka-Zan had said and threw himself off the cliff.

“… It should cover the sky.”

Kyaaaaa-!

Kkiiiiii-!

A huge number of drake riders flew over the cliff.

Kyaaaaa-!

The sky of Wing Canyon turns pitch black.
