I almost lost my mind for a moment at the overly grand send-off, but I hastily snapped out of it.
I didn’t know for what reason, but those Wyvern Riders were attacking us.
According to what I had roughly confirmed earlier, the Lizardman and the wyvern were one in body and soul.
Therefore, the wyvern’s will was the rider’s will, meaning that attacking us was no mistake.
Hwiieeeng!
The massive flame spewed from the wyvern’s mouth narrowly brushed past us.
It was a relief that Lackey hastily executed an evasive maneuver; otherwise, we would have taken a direct hit.
Kwagawang!
The missed breath collided with a nearby large stone hill, causing a massive explosion.
It was so powerful that the destruction was clearly visible.
While not as powerful as a dragon, which was a natural disaster itself, a wyvern was still an extremely powerful monster.
Furthermore, since this was the Forest of the Four Seasons, they had to be even stronger than those on the outside. I couldn’t let my guard down.
"Why is that bastard attacking us? Did we hurt his pride or something?"
"I think he believes that while they might lose on the ground, they can win in an aerial battle."
Lackey spoke while fiddling with various controls. It was a scene straight out of a movie.
But more important than that was how to shake those guys off.
It was tricky for a helicopter to deal with enemies clinging to its tail. In the end, circling around to attack was the best option.
The problem was that even if we circled, we lacked proper means of attack. The passengers sitting in the back were quite poor at long-range suppression.
[It would have been much easier if you hadn’t sliced off the machine guns.]
"I know, so shut up."
If we at least had the machine guns, the story would be different. But those had been removed during the fight.
In reality, the situation was nothing more and nothing less than a transport aircraft. We had no choice but to resolve it among the personnel inside.
Hwiing! Hwiung!
While we were contemplating, the wyverns spewed their breath in succession.
If it were just one, it would be fine, but they were launching staggered attacks that made them hard to dodge, which was quite overwhelming.
Furthermore, unlike a wyvern, this was a helicopter, so losing balance even once could mean crashing.
Tududududu!
So we tried to force a turn to seize the offensive, but unfortunately, their maneuverability was far superior.
Even if we turned abruptly, they followed immediately and fired their breath.
"Master! How much further to our destination!"
"It’s a distance that takes at least three days even by car. Even with a helicopter, it will take a while."
Even those fast fighter jets would take time to arrive, so how much more so for a helicopter?
In the end, it seemed we had to deal with them directly to avoid future trouble. I scrutinized the enemies in detail.
’I expected it, but as I thought, that leader guy is there.’
I saw the leader at the very front, scowling fiercely.
The appearance of the Lizardmen was all similar, but I remembered that guy clearly.
Kuung!
While I watched, a breath narrowly brushed past the rear of the tail.
Even though it only grazed us, the impact was quite severe, causing the aircraft to shake violently.
Wiing! Wiing! Wiing!
As the aircraft shook, a loud alarm began to sound inside. It seemed we needed to take action quickly.
"Dolsoe!"
"U-Uh? Did, did you call me?!"
"There should be a bag with ropes over there, take it out and give it to me!"
If it were up to me, I would pilot it and send Lackey instead.
But if we did that while being suppressed like this, we would crash spectacularly.
[What kind of crazy stunt are you planning to pull again?]
"Is this the first or second time I’ve done something crazy? You should get used to it by now."
Leaving Cain’s dumbfounded words behind, I tied the rope around my body.
Then, I held four arrows in my mouth and grabbed a quiver just in case.
Deolkeok!Now that all preparations were complete, all that was left was to personally educate those bastards.
When I opened the door, a strong wind blasted in, but something like this couldn’t make me back down.
"Master. Close it quickly. It’s shaking."
"Just wait a moment."
Ignoring Lackey’s complaints, I tied the rope to the railing. Just in case, I tied it tightly several times so it wouldn’t come loose.
With the safety device completed, I lightly leaped out with the mindset of bungee jumping.
Along with the leap, a fierce gust of wind slapped my face, but I didn’t care. The important thing was the Wyvern Riders.
’The wind is incredibly strong, but...’
I can definitely hit them. I notched one of the arrows I held in my mouth onto the bowstring.
Perhaps because their target was me and not the rest of the party, they lowered their altitude just as I jumped out.
I was having trouble because my field of vision was slightly obstructed, but they kindly aligned themselves with my eye level.
Piing!!
The arrow leaving the bowstring tore through the air and shot forward rapidly.
As if ignoring the gust of wind, the fiercely advancing arrow reached right in front of the Wyvern Rider in no time.Follow the newest chapters on novelрing.com.
Until that very moment, the Lizardman and the wyvern failed to perceive the arrow right before their eyes.
Kwadudeuk!
They were simply pierced by the arrow and plummeted to the ground.
The wyvern, pierced by the arrow, died instantly and fell downward.
The Lizardman belatedly tried to take action, but there was no way to revive the already dead beast.
"#$%#?!"
"$#@#$%!"
The Wyvern Riders seemed flustered by the completely unexpected strike.
I didn’t miss that opportunity. Since those bastards had gone beyond backstabbing us and were trying to kill us.
There was no need to show mercy, was there? Even if they survived, I planned to visit their crash site again.
Piing! Ping!
One shot for each guy.
Every time I fired the arrows held in my mouth in succession, the Wyvern Riders plummeted to the ground.
Only the leader remained. In less than a minute, he was left all alone.
Kkigigik!
I notched the final arrow onto the bowstring, aiming precisely.
Although my vision was repeatedly disrupted as I dangled from the rope, my aim was precise.
Kuuuuuu-
The guy chose a frontal confrontation instead of dodging. Flames surged from the wyvern’s wide-open mouth.
I unconcerned, I lightly released the arrow notched on the bowstring.
Paang!!!
Regardless of the light release, the arrow flew fiercely. The destination of the arrow was precisely the wyvern’s mouth.
Kwaaa!!!
A massive flame swept toward me and the helicopter. The hot energy of the flames seemed to envelop my entire body.
Lackey couldn’t be unaware of this either. Yet, perhaps because he trusted me, he steadfastly steered forward.
Before long, the arrow and the flame collided.
Kwaaaaa!!!
The arrow, imbued with my strength and Aura, easily pierced through the wave of fire and advanced toward its target.
Paseuseuseu!
Perhaps because the speed of the flying arrow was too fast, the wave of fire that had almost engulfed the helicopter scattered into nothingness.
Well, thanks to that, my vision cleared up, allowing me to visually confirm the result.
As for how the result turned out...
"Hmm?"
A donut. A large donut had formed in the Lizardman’s body.
In other words, a massive hole had appeared in the center of his body, causing all his activities to cease.
I had clearly fired toward the wyvern’s mouth, so I didn’t know why that guy got hit instead.
’Let’s fire one more shot for now.’
So I decided to fire one more shot. I brought the quiver knowing this might happen.
I had brought only a small amount, fearing I might lose a bunch of arrows from the quiver if something went wrong.
I loaded one of them and fired it straight at the wyvern.
Kwaak!
-Kieeeek!
The wyvern, flying without even knowing its master was dead, was pierced by the arrow.
Under that influence, the wyvern and the leader fell powerlessly to the ground. Seeing this, I realized.
’He brought disaster upon himself by trying to dodge.’
If he hadn’t tried to dodge and had just taken it quietly, a donut wouldn’t have formed.
Although his partner would have been hit, with a Lizardman’s recovery rate, he would have easily survived the fall.
ㄴSword Matstar) He ended up like that because of a half-hearted defense.
ㄴHeavenly Demon) It seems you saw that as well.
ㄴSword Matstar) With my skills, it would make no sense if I couldn’t see that.
ㄴStarlight Lady) What on earth did you see?
ㄴHeavenly Demon) It was a scene only masters could see. That lizard was simply unlucky.
ㄴStarlight Lady) Seriously, what did you see...? ㅡㅡ
ㄴDon’t Abandon the Hero) Don’t be mad! It really was just bad luck!
ㄴStarlight Lady) No, I’m saying I want an explanation;;
It seemed the highly skilled regular users had also noticed the Lizardman leader’s tragedy.
I thought about whether I should retrieve the corpse, but after a brief moment, I just returned to my original spot.
Even if I retrieved it, there was nothing to do with it, and returning to the Lizardman village was too bothersome.
"Up we go. No problems, right?"
"There is a problem."
"There is?"
When I returned to the passenger seat and asked about the situation, Lackey replied with a serious expression.Follow the newest chapters on novelping.com.
I wondered if a problem had arisen due to the breath spewed by the wyverns.
"Look at our brother."
"Dolsoe?"
What could have happened to the sturdy Dolsoe? It was even more of a mystery since he was usually a taciturn guy.
Looking back, what was this? Dolsoe’s face had turned completely pale.
His complexion was so pale it had turned yellow, a state that anyone could see was serious.
"What’s wrong? Did something you ate earlier go bad...?"
"...going to do it."
"What?"
Lackey spoke again in a trembling voice on his behalf.
"I feel like... throwing up..."
"...."
"Can I... throw up in the bag...?"
[Quickly, give him anything!]
I could feel the helicopter’s determination not to let its body be soiled.
In any case, I couldn’t allow him to throw up in the Subspace Backpack, so I hastily purchased a suitable bucket from the auction house.
It seemed Dolsoe was suffering from acrophobia. This was completely unexpected.
"Ugh..."
"Cain-ssi. Please throw the bucket outside. We have no use for it anyway."
[Understood.]
Having avoided a situation more dangerous than the Wyvern Riders, we welcomed peace.
No one attacked us, and Dolsoe’s phobia would gradually be resolved.
"Master."
"Hmm? What is it?"
"If we take this, are we going to attempt an escape just like that? We have the coordinate tracker too."
While we were spending a peaceful moment, Lackey asked me.
It was closer to a question to relieve boredom, but it was quite a sharp topic.
"Well..."
Hearing that question, I pondered for a moment and checked the coordinate tracker. The numbers were changing rapidly according to the helicopter’s speed.
With just this coordinate tracker, moving straight in one direction wouldn’t be difficult.
Furthermore, since it was a coordinate tracker obtained in exchange for delivering the transport aircraft, there was no issue.
"I’ll have to think about it first. I predict that just because we got this one thing, escaping to the outside won’t be easy."
"Understood."
"But do you want to go outside too?"
"Honestly, it’s because I’m curious."
"Is that so?"
Perhaps because he had been using the Gallery consistently, he had become curious about the outside.
I chuckled and placed my hand on Lackey’s shoulder. A gesture conveying the meaning that we would be able to leave someday.
Lackey also seemed to understand my intent, lightly nodding his head as he focused on piloting.
"By the way, the noise is really loud. Maengkkongi?"
"Bbyung?"
I called Maengkkongi, who was sitting quietly in the back seat. Currently, Maengkkongi was settled on top of Wonmo’s belly.
Perhaps treating the helicopter noise as white noise, Wonmo was taking a comfortable nap.
Seeing him sleep even though the aircraft shook violently earlier, he must have been incredibly tired.
"Play an exciting song so we can’t hear this noise."
"Bbyung!"
Maengkkongi, thinking this was a great opportunity, picked up his guitar and even took a stance.
I didn’t know how he played the guitar with those short, cute limbs, but since it was cute, I let it slide.
Anyway, Maengkkongi’s guitar performance began.
Jijijing-Along with an electric guitar sound that I had no idea how it was being produced, the noise inside was completely cleared away.
For a moment, wondering if I had misheard, I even took off my headphones. However, the noise was completely gone, leaving only tranquility.
"...What? Is this noise-canceling?"
A mere Rain Frog had demonstrated an ability that even the helicopter couldn’t achieve. It was truly an incredible ability.
Considering how he faced the canary’s song alone last time, he seemed second to none when it came to sound.
Of course.
Dududung- dududung- ppappabam- ppabam-"Even if I try to cancel~"
"...?"
The fact that Maengkkongi’s song selection was highly unusual remained unchanged.
"Dejavu! I’ve just been in this place before!"
"Master."
"What."
"I suddenly feel like jerking the steering wheel, is it just my imagination?"
"...."
If it were a car, maybe, but if you do that with a helicopter, we’ll crash instantly, you punk.
