‘The scars on his waist and front paws… The parts without scales could be a weakness but are not going to end the game . ’
300 meters . Weed flapped his wings and moved cautiously . He observed the openings as his eyes skimmed across the back of Kaybern’s head, his wings, back and tail .
‘Should I just start beating him down?’
He felt a powerful urge to strike as he looked at the rear of the head .
200 meters . Kaybern felt his presence and turned his head . The bone dragon reflected in the enormous eyes of the black dragon!
– I can smell a foul stench . Begone!
Kaybern did not attack him as there were still many humans left, but was disturbed nonetheless .
– My, my apologies .
Weed drew back but did not give up, prowling near him . He finished off the Hermes guild members attacked by Kaybern’s magic and continued to make profit .
“Kill Weed!”
When the Hermes guild approached to attack, he quickly hid behind Kaybern . Cunning at its finest! He ended up getting on the nerves of the impatient dragon .
– Blizzard!
In a short moment, the temperature fell far beyond freezing point and snow and ice began to flurry . Weed saw the blizzard coming towards him and attempted to fall back, but it had already surrounded him .
< Cold snap!The body is freezing .
2,896 damage to health points per second!
Movement speed is reduced by 36% . >
Kaybern’s magic had been targeted not on the humans, but on Weed . Even as a bone dragon with high magic resistance, he took considerable damage . Weed also planned to return the favor .
‘I knew it as well . The dragon was not to be trusted in the first place . ’
He had saved up a significant amount of mana and health points . He took a deep breath and released his attack on Kaybern who was nearby .
– Corrosive breath!
The breath in a straight line from Weed’s gaping mouth and drenched Kaybern’s body .
– How dare… . !
Many seconds later the breath ceased and Kaybern’s body was uncovered . The slick and lean body of the black dragon was dirty like it had been stained . His health points also took a fair amount of damage, but not enough to be a threat .
“Wh, What the . ”
“Weed attacked the dragon . ”

The Hermes guild members were with wide open eyes, as the bone dragon and the black dragon clashed .
– Incineration!
An advanced fire magic spell . Kaybern activated a spell that burns away the opponent . A powerful spell that turns targets with low magic resistance into complete ashes . The bones of Weed’s frozen body lit up in fire .
< The body is burning .
5,317 damage per second!
Endurance and magic resistance is declining rapidly .
Decreases by 3% per second . >
The mighty physique of the bone dragon remained in good state . Even so, he would take consistent damage to his health points if he does not relieve himself from the incineration spell applied on his body .
‘An eye for an eye . ’
Weed spread his wings from the ground and hurled his body towards the dragon . Engulfed in flames, he flew at maximum speed and collided . Kaybern was startled and tried to avoid him, but both of them were an enormous 200 meters wide in size .
The dragons crashed into one another with resounding force .
The bone dragon and black dragon tangled and tumbled . The land shook like an earthquake and the Hermes guild members were buried under the dragons .
< Health points are reduced by 97,000, due to a massive impact . >
The bone dragon’s body was comprised of over 2,300,000 health points, but his life was limited as he could not lift the incineration spell .
“Die . You ugly lizard!”
Weed wrapped around on Kaybern’s back with all four legs and bit into his nape .
< Attack on weakness!
Your bite landed on the opponent’s weak spot .
You have diminished 42,385 health points . >
< The durability of your fangs has declined . >
– How daring of a rotten, crumbling set of bone picks!
Kaybern tried to shake him off from his body, but it was not too easy . One of the best skills of the bone dragon was its bite .
“You’re a coal-black lizard!”
Weed wildly bit into Kaybern’s body . He felt as if he was chewing steel due to the sturdiness of the black dragon, that that was unimportant . He crunched tenaciously and scratched the body ruthlessly with his claws .
*Tak-tak-ttak!*
A succession of merciless attacks .
– Get off me!

Kaybern thrashed in an outrage, but it was futile . Weed had wrapped tightly around his body . The Hermes guild members were genuinely surprised .
“Geez! What is happening . ”
“The dragons are fighting one another . What’s more, that bone dragon is Weed . ”
“Holy . It’s like watching a monster film . ”
Even the Hermes guild was stupefied by the scene . Two dragons entangled, a dog fight! Weed usually preferred clean battles using a sword . At times he took hits intentionally to increase his endurance, but those instances are calculated . When he got deeply engaged into a fight, he would fight aggressively while keeping his head cool .
“Kwaahh!”
– Go . Begone!
Kaybern and Weed rolled on the ground .
‘This lizard . He can’t fight as well as I expected . ’
Weed tightened his concentration . When would a dragon have experienced such a dirty fight? In the battle against the humans, it displayed a typical pattern of combat . But when a huge bone dragon stuck to its back like a hunting canine and bit into the nape, it was unable to break free .
‘The dragon’s combat skills are rather sloppy . ’
Weed traced his memories back to when he attended the Kendo dojo .
Jong-bum Choi! He was the dojo master and went by the name Geomchi3 in Royal Road, his body a lethal weapon in its entirety . Muscles, scars and a savage face!
“Hmm . Popsicles get me through the summer . ”
The time when he and Lee hyun went to a nearby convenience store with their tops off during the practice at the dojo, remained a legend .
“Huk . ”
“Wha!”
“Gkk!”
The people in the streets could not look away in surprise . The muscular body under the beaming sunlight was defined like valleys . Sweat streamed down between the muscles . Men, women, the seniors and children all observed his beautiful physique .
“Brother . It seems all that you do is exercise . What was your hobby as a child?”
“Boxing . ”
“When you were 10 years old?”
“Yep . The uppercut was my specialty because I loved the feeling of blowing away the older brothers that were bigger than me in a single hit . ”
He practiced martial arts for a hobby . He had many certifications but he himself did not remember well . He fell for kickboxing and jiu jitsu, spiking his interest in mixed martial arts .
“I qualified in tournaments too . I fought 7 times and won all of them with K . O . ”
“But you didn’t become an athlete . ”

“Yup . It did not give me that sharp tension of fighting with a blade, so my interest faded away . All I had to do was beat them up with pure strength and stamina . ”
Jong-bum Choi was the classic example of an aggressive infighter . The problem was that no one could fend off his monstrous charges . No one in the dojo could beat him in a hand-to-hand combat .
“Youngest one . Sword techniques are great too, but you must train the body . Any kind of skill is based off on your physical abilities . There are no sword techniques that can be executed with a weak physique . ”
“Yes . Brother . ”
Lee Hyun played around with various mixed martial arts with Jong-bum Choi during rest breaks .
‘This is turning out to be quite useful . ’
The reason for attending the dojo was to hunt better in Royal Road . He learned everything from how to take hits by spreading the opponent’s power across a larger area to the variety of ways to break down a stance .
“The blade is sharp and powerful, so you only need an attack to succeed once . Though, that is the most difficult part…”
“Can’t you finish someone off with just a single fist strike?”
“Definitely can . However,if the opponent is also skilled they will know how to take hits . Precise attacks will never be allowed . That is why attacks lead into submission techniques… . Hmm, hmm . You will find it helpful once you learn these . ”
“When should I use the ?”
“Whenever . A drunk man could pick a fight with you for no reason, and this world can be quite harsh . In those times you must be able to protect yourself, don’t you think?”
– Kuahhhhh!
Weed roared as he continued to crunch away at Kaybern’s nape . He pressed down on the dragon’s tremendous body with his four legs, shifted his body weight instinctively and held his advantage .
‘The ground techniques that I learned from bro are proving their usefulness . ’
His entire body was engulfed in flames because of the magic, but the deed had to be done .
< You bit into the opponent’s weak point .
Successive threatening attack!
You have diminished 67,387 health points .
The defense of the wounded region is reduced by 2 . 6% . >
Every time he bit, shook around and rolled on the ground with Kaybern, health points declined by several thousands . The matter came down to Kaybern’s ridiculous amount of health points and defense . Weed pressed down with his body and crunched away, but the attacks were nowhere enough for the dragon to die .
“Fire energy . ”
“Eternal Shot!”
That moment, the attacks from the Hermes guild members struck . For them, Weed was also an enemy and therefore attacked without distinguishing Kaybern and Weed . His body was on fire, taking damage each time he rolled on the ground, and now the Hermes guild members were attacking on top of all this . Weed realized that he could only hold for 2 or 3 minutes .
– I will rip you to shreds!
Kaybern wallowing on the ground also staggered and straightened up . Weed pressed down with all his might, but Kaybern stood up with just the might of his hind legs . The bone dragon was similar in its enormous size, but was made of nothing but bones . Kaybern’s weight and power were greater .
– Lightning Tempest!
Kaybern quickly cast a spell . Then, hundreds of lightning struck down in proximity .
< Struck by lightning!
Jolting power of electricity pierced through the body .
Health points reduced by 126,183 . >
He was struck by ice, fire and lightning .
‘In order to attack me, he gladly threw himself into the line of fire . ’
Weed knew his intentions but he was out of options . Kaybern’s scales negated lightning with its immense magic resistance . The bone dragon felt a shivering pain in its joints . This was the difference between a real dragon and a bone dragon! Weed shouted out to everyone in the region .
– All Hermes guild members focus down the dragon! Kill Kaybern first, then me! This is the best opportunity to kill the dragon .
The Hermes guild and Weed were of such ill-fated relationship, but it was necessary to put it behind them against a dragon that could plunge the entire Versaille continent into danger . Despite his words, he may be able to escape alive once the dragon is defeated . He knew he could not overcome this dragon alone, so he asked assistance from the Hermes guild .
“Just kill both of them at once!”
“Don’t trust anything Weed says . ”
The reaction from the Hermes guild opposed his expectations . A dragon was indeed an amazing deal for them, but there was just as much significance in killing Weed who had won against Bard Ray . They ignored Weed’s request and bombarded with attacks .
“Kill him here and now!”
“Weed is a petty trickster . You never know what stunt he is going to pull . In the least, make sure he is dead!”
The Hermes guild were aware of Weed’s nature . Weed ignored their attacks and bit the dragon, and he felt his chances of succeeding in this hunt fading away . Not a sliver of hope was left in the given situation .
– Forceful Rift destruction!
Kaybern used a magic spell again, shattering Weed’s body completely . Solid rib bones broke and rained down on the ground .
< Body was destroyed by magic .
Maximum health points reduced by 55% .
Remaining health points reduced by 30% . >
It was a ridiculously powerful magic spell . Weed crumbled and Kaybern broke free . The huge body of the bone dragon fell apart into pieces of arms, legs and wings – turning into tatters . Kaybern let out an explosive roar of rage .
– I will not leave a trace of your remains!
Fueled by his hatred towards Weed, he refused to finish him with magic and instead inhaled deeply . Weed witnessed firsthand as the black dragon’s body bloated like a balloon . It clearly was readying a breath attack .
– This lizard, we’ll see about this!
Kaybern gaped his mouth, struck Weed’s body with the gushing breath .
