NOVEL NEXT Chapter 241 - Fighting in the Large Room
Fighting in the Large Room
For a while after that, we continued to kill vampires in small rooms and move forward.
In the meantime, the boss showed no signs of moving.
‘The boss room is just a little up ahead.’
I had already shown them a map and explained to them where the enemy was.
However, we had fought many battles since then. And so they may have forgotten.
And so I explained it to them once again.
‘We’ll head for the boss room once we get through the big room. Shia and Serulis, you go to the room with the humans.’
‘Understood.’
‘Leave it to us.’
After running for a little longer, we reached the large room. It was big enough for five dragons to fit inside.
And on the sides, there were large windows that stretched from the floor to the ceiling. Kathe would have been able to fit through if she was in dragon form.
Well, maybe they weren’t so much windows, as glass put between thick pillars.
The glass looked very expensive. That in itself told me that the owner of this place was very wealthy.
And in the room were large objects that were covered in cloth.
Shia looked at them in puzzlement.
‘What are those things?’
‘Those are…’
Just as I was about to tell her what Magic Exploration had told me…
—GGGGGGGGGGG…
A massive explosive sound echoed in the room. And then small metal fragments began to shoot towards us.
It was magic machines that were under the cloth.
The cloth came off after they started shooting, and about 10 machines appeared from under them.
The machines were lined up in two neat rows and started firing at the same time. There was nowhere to run.
That meant it was up to the sorcerer. And so I created a magic barrier to cover everyone.
Eric, Goran, and Kathe dashed towards the magic machines.
They left my barriers to protect them and focused on attacking.
That was a sign of how much they trusted me. I couldn’t let them down.
It was just as Eric and the others were closing in on the machines…
—GAAOOOOOAAAAA!
From the side, outside of the building, there was an enormous roar and then poisonous breath was unleashed towards us.
The large glass panels shattered and the shards rained down on us.
Evil dragons were attacking us now. And it wasn’t just one.
There were five dragons on each side and they were all unleashing their poison breath onto us.
We were being attacked on all sides now.
Of course, there had never been any place to escape, to begin with.
But now it would be much harder to defend everyone.
Worse, the glass shards were shooting towards us like sharp knives.
Furthermore, the metal bullets that the magic machines were firing were physical attacks, while the poison breath was a magic attack. And poison was also hard to deal with.
This was because it didn’t need to hit you directly to be effective. Even if I could guard them against it on the surface, it still drifted in the air.
“Leave it to me!”
I shouted out loud. This was to calm down the advance guard.
However, it was unnecessary. They weren’t slowing down at all.
They knew about the bullets, poison breath, and raining glass, but they ignored them.
This was because they trusted me.
Goran slashed the magic machines with his sword. As there was a fire effect on it, the metal melted at the same time.
Eric’s holy sword cut through the armor and into the core.
Kathe’s fists and feet were enveloped in wind magic as she punched and kicked.
The magic machines flew up into the air as high as the ceiling.
All the while, I kept the magic barriers up and blocked the bullets and glass.
At the same time, I activated Tempest.
While making sure it didn’t hit the others, I used it to suck up the poison breath and send it outside.
Both the poison and the glass were picked up and thrown towards the evil dragons.
Doing all of this required a lot of power and precision while controlling magic.
It would be more efficient to allow Kathe to attack with wind magic.
However, I was currently using wind magic to protect. So it was better if I did it.
“Beep-beep-beep-beep…”
A row of machines was swept up by my wind and thrown into the ceiling.
—Bam.
Then they fell all at once and crashed to the ground.
By then, Eric, Goran, and Kathe had killed the other five magic machines in the front.
However, we still had the evil dragons to deal with.
“Kathe! You take the right side! Don’t hold back!”
“Leave it to me!”
Kathe turned into a dragon in an instant and then unleashed her powerful wind breath outside.
She knocked down two stone pillars as she cut into the dragons on the right side.
“GAAAA!”
The evil dragons let out screams of pain. The breath of the wind dragon ruler was too powerful.
Kathe was very reliable with wind magic when there was no need to adjust the strength.
On the other hand, I had five evil dragons to kill on the left side.
I conjured up 15 magic lances and shot each dragon with 3.
—Dddddd…
The evil dragons tried to dodge them, but my magic lances were faster.
They sank deep into the flesh of the evil dragons.
And so the five on my side died at just about the same time as Kathe finished up with the five on her side.
