Transcendent Warrior with a Dimensional Shifting Inventory

64

Pow-

A faint light emanated from the dragon’s body.

It was using recovery magic.

Then, all the arrows stuck in the dragon’s body were pulled out.

And the wounds healed in an instant.

Minhyuk wasn’t just watching either.

Thwack-thwack-

He used Kaon to continuously shoot arrows at the dragon.

Bam-

Another arrow was lodged in the dragon’s torso.

Pow-

Then the dragon used recovery magic again.

It didn’t stop flapping its wings.

It was trying to escape from Kaon’s range.

Whoosh-whoosh-

Minhyuk kept shooting arrows at the dragon.

The arrows shot from the large bow were as powerful as they were long-ranged.

Thwack-

An arrow hit the dragon’s wing.

The dragon lost its balance and fell to the ground.

Thud-

The dragon fell headfirst onto a rock.

The dragon, whose skull was harder than Star Metal, shouldn’t have been hurt that much.

However, it seemed momentarily dazed, as if it had suffered a concussion.

“Now!”

Minhyuk stopped shooting and shouted.

Hans and his squad ran toward the dragon.

They had long ropes over their shoulders.

It was a net made by connecting Charon’s potion pouches.

In order to properly net the dragon, someone had to approach it.

Hans and his squad had practiced this moment hundreds of times in Asdel Fortress.

“Do it just like we practiced!”

“Yes, sir!”

Hans ran toward the dragon’s leg, not its head, following Minhyuk’s orders.

It would have been best to put the net around the dragon’s neck, but since it wasn’t unconscious, it would breathe fire if they got near its head.

If they were hit directly by the dragon’s fire at close range, the Flame Barrier would be useless.

The soldiers would turn to ash in an instant.

That’s why they aimed for the dragon’s ankles.

“Hurry!”

Hans and his squad quickly put the net around the dragon’s ankles.

Then they quickly got away from the dragon.

‘Good!’

Whoosh-whoosh-

Minhyuk started shooting arrows at the dragon again.

Thwack-

The arrow pierced the dragon’s back.

However, the arrowhead couldn’t pierce the spine, so it didn’t go in deep.

Poof-

The dragon used recovery magic again.

The wound was healed in an instant.

The dragon tried to fly, but it couldn’t because of the net.

THUD-

No matter how much it flapped its wings and struggled, the dragon couldn’t break free from the shackles.

The other end of the shackles was tied to a large rock.

No matter how strong the dragon’s power was, there was no way it could fly while carrying a rock that was several times larger than its own body.

This time, it was well and truly trapped.

‘Die!’

THUNK-THUNK-

Minhyuk continued to fire arrows at the dragon.

Hitting a dragon that couldn’t fly was too easy.

CRASH-CRASH-

Powerful arrows struck the dragon’s body one after another.

BOOM-

Then, the dragon used its healing magic again.

Its wounds healed in an instant, and another arrow struck the same spot.

THUNK-THUNK-

BOOM-

Minhyuk continued to fire arrows at the dragon, and it continued to use its healing magic.

This continued for some time.

Valyn stuck out his tongue and said to Professor Raymon.

“How many times can it use healing magic? Is a dragon’s mana pool truly an inexhaustible well?”

“Can’t it maintain a protective field for over 100 years with just one of its mana orbs? There’s no way a dragon’s mana will run out after using healing magic a few times.”

In the end, the battle with the dragon had turned into a war of attrition.

It was a question of whether the dragon’s mana would run out first or if Minhyuk would run out of arrows first.

However,

SNAP-

The dragon suddenly began to bite at its own ankle.

The reason for self-harm during combat was obvious.

It was trying to cut off its own ankle like a lizard shedding its tail in order to escape the shackles.

SNAP-SNAP-

As the dragon continued to bite at its own ankle, flesh tore away and bone was exposed.

To escape the shackles, it needed to sever the bone.

SCReeeCH-

The dragon endured the pain and finally severed its own ankle.

FLUTTER-FLUTTER-

Free from the shackles, the dragon soared into the sky.

Minhyuk continued to fire arrows at it.

However, the dragon eventually escaped beyond the range of Gaon’s arrows.

Even then, it didn’t forget to take its severed foot with it.

CLATTER-

Minhyuk stopped firing and watched the dragon flying away into the distance, a bitter taste in his mouth.

If only we could have got our hands on the dragon’s foot, we wouldn’t have had to go all the way to the Hellkan Mountains.

We could have gotten fresh bones from its foot.

‘He’s taking it with him again.’

It seemed as if the dragon knew its own bones could be made into a weapon to kill it.

That’s probably why he desperately took it with him even in a desperate situation.

Anyway, we succeeded in chasing away the dragon.

It’s a pity we couldn’t kill it, but we showed it how spicy we could be, so it won’t dare attack us for a while.

Wow!

The soldiers cheered.

Everyone was excited that they had managed to fend off the dragon’s attack outside of the protected area.

The soldiers’ trust in Minhyuk also grew stronger.

They became convinced that they would be safe from dragons if they followed Minhyuk.

“Resume the march!”

Clack, clack-

The soldiers marched briskly towards the Hellkan Mountains again.

.

.

.

Two days passed after the battle with the dragon.

A distant, blue mountain range came into view.

It was the Hellkan Mountains, their destination.

They were finally close to their destination.

Whooosh-

A fierce wind blew from the mountains.

It wasn’t an ordinary wind.

It was strong enough to blow their bodies away.

Rin asked Tarman.

“Have we entered the boundary of the Overflow again?”

“It seems that way.”

The expedition continued their march, enduring the strong wind.

And finally, they reached Mount Lartia, the entrance to the Hellkan Mountains.

Everything there was frozen.

“Ugh, it’s cold!”

The soldiers shivered.

Layman said to Minhyuk.

“I think we’ve entered the permafrost Overflow.”

There was no recent information about the Hellkan Mountains, not even in books.

No explorers had set foot there since the Overflow occurred.

That’s why they hadn’t expected to come to such a cold place.

Thud-

Minhyuk opened Gaon.

And procured 1,000 thick coats from Asdel Fortress.

The soldiers who received the coats regained their spirits, and the march began again.

And two more days passed.

The expedition followed the mountain ridge guided by the Golem.

And finally arrived at their destination.

There was a large lake on a not-so-high mountain peak.

It was a lake created by water accumulating in a crater made by a volcanic eruption long ago.

The Golem spoke to Minhyuk.

[The dragon’s bones are submerged at the bottom of the lake.]

Hundreds of years ago, Locus had the Golems hide the dragon’s bones excavated from the east of the Rania continent in this lake.

So all that was left was to go underwater and retrieve the dragon’s bones.

But there was a problem.

“The lake is frozen solid.”

In the past, this place had a warm climate.

However, with the invasion of the permafrost, the lake froze.

It wasn’t going to be easy to break the thick ice and retrieve the dragon’s bones submerged at the bottom of the lake.

“We have no choice but to break the ice.”

From Noble mtl dot com

Minhyuk used Gaon to teleport the Dwarf engineers on standby at Asdel Fortress here.

They immediately began the task of breaking the ice on the lake.

Minhyuk instructed the other soldiers to search the area around the lake.

This was because there was a chance that some of the dragon’s bones might have fallen by the lakeside.

They didn’t need many dragon bones.

They could put even a single fragment in the refrigerator to test it out.

If it turned out to be something that was easy to procure in large quantities, they could procure it infinitely like the Star’s Metal.

Huh?

One of the soldiers discovered animal bones in the snowfield.

He picked up the bone and asked his comrade.

“Is this a dragon bone?”

“You’ll know if you hit it with a dagger.”

The soldier drew the Star’s Dagger he had on his waist and struck the bone.

Puck-

The bone crumbled.

If it had been a dragon bone, it wouldn’t have broken like that.

“Nope.”

Like this, the search for the dragon’s bones continued like a treasure hunt.

However, there were no gains.

“We’re through!”

Finally, the Dwarf engineers broke through the ice.

They had created a hole that penetrated the ice that was over 10 meters thick.

“Go in.”

[Yes, master!]

Splash-

The golem entered the cold lake through the hole in the ice.

The golem was the only one who could stay submerged in the icy water for a long time.

Everyone waited for the golem to come back out.

After a long while, the golem emerged.

And handed the dragon bone that it had found to Minhyuk.

“Is this all?”

It was a piece of bone that was smaller than a fist.

[There used to be a lot, but now this is all that’s left.]

In any case, it was definitely a dragon bone.

Information appeared before Minhyuk’s eyes.

＜Dragon Bone Fragment＞

-A fragment that fell off a dragon’s bone.

Minhyuk put the bone fragment in the refrigerator.

“Return!”

Poof-

Along with a flash of light, Minhyuk returned to the back of the truck.

He opened the refrigerator door and checked inside.

A piece of wood had fallen out.

‘Seriously?’

The dragon bone fragment had changed into a piece of wood that was about the same size.

hahahaha!

Laughter erupted from Minhyuk’s mouth.

It had become so much easier to obtain them in large quantities.

‘Can any wood be turned into a dragon bone?’

As it happened, there was wood in the back of the truck.

Wheel chocks.

They were chocks made of wood that were used to prevent the truck from slipping when parked, and they were made of wood.

Minhyuk put it in the refrigerator.

“Return.”

Poof-

Along with a flash of light, he returned to the lakeside of the Helkan Mountains.

And checked his inventory.

＜Golden Oat Hulls＞

-Hulls of oats grown in the Golden Plains region.

-Can be used as animal feed.

The wheel chocks had transformed into something completely different.

‘It’s not just any wood!’

Minhyuk moved back to the truck’s cargo area.

And searched the internet for the nearest woodworking shop.

There was a factory near his house that made wooden furniture.

Thud-

He drove the truck there.

A sign was hanging on the prefabricated building.

＜Hyanggi Wood Furniture / Custom Furniture Specialist＞

Minhyuk went inside the building.

Then a furniture factory employee approached him and said.

“Hello, are you here because you need furniture?”

“No, I’m not. Do you happen to know what kind of wood this is?”

Minhyuk handed him the piece of wood.

The employee examined the piece of wood for a long time and then opened his mouth.

“I’m not sure.”

Then an older man who was in the back of the factory approached and asked.

“What’s going on?”

“Boss, do you happen to know what kind of wood this is?”

The older man was the president of the furniture factory.

The president examined the piece of wood this way and that, pressed it with his fingernail, and then opened his mouth.

“I can see why Manager Park doesn’t know. This is the kind of wood used to make musical instruments.”

It was a type of wood that was not native to Korea.

It was the most expensive type of wood among lumber, so it was mainly used to make musical instruments rather than furniture.

“Do you happen to know where I can buy that wood?”

“I do. The place where we buy our lumber also has this wood.”

“Then could you give me their phone number?”

“Just a moment.”

The president looked up the lumberyard’s phone number saved in his cell phone and gave it to Minhyuk.

“Thank you!”

Thud-

Minhyuk drove his truck to the lumberyard.
