Pick Me Up Infinite Gacha! - P.M.U Chapter 200: The Black Seed (8) (Part 2)

The scales didn’t disappear even after a second had passed.

As a result of risking my life and training for a week, I had mastered the second stage of the Black Dragon’s Blood.

<Don’t overuse it! It’s too much power for you!>

“Yadda, yadda, yadda. So noisy.”

The dragon scales sprouted over my left arm, extending to part of my chest.

[Caution!]

[High-level engraving comes with risks.]

[Overuse may lead to the hero’s death!]

A warning message popped up on Anytng’s screen.

Anytng quickly closed the window and zoomed in on the play screen.

‘…….’

Swish.

I drew my sword.

The massive iron gate, several meters high, was right before my eyes.

Up to this point, the activation time of the Black Dragon’s Scales was 5 seconds.

‘The maximum is 10 seconds.’

I adjusted my grip on the sword with my left hand and took a powerful step forward.

[Combined Skill, ‘Dragon Slaycer’ activated!]

Boom!

A huge crack appeared on the front of the gate as if it had been hit by a bomb.

“What are you doing!”

[Combined Skill, ‘Dragon Slaycer’ activated!]

[Combined Skill, ‘Dragon Slaycer’ activated!]

Boom!

By the third strike, the sword couldn’t withstand it anymore and shattered into pieces.

I extended my left hand towards the deputy on the wall.

[Unique Skill, ‘Absorb’ activated!]

Dark red lightning sprang from my left hand, and the sword the guy was holding flew towards me as if sucked in.

Absorb.

A second ability was gained when the Black Dragon Blood level rose to 2.

A skill usable only in the Black Dragon Scales state, and while it couldn’t yet be used on people, it was easy to draw in objects.

[Combined Skill, ‘Dragon Slaycer’ activated!]

[Combined Skill, ‘Dragon Slaycer’ activated!]

Boom!

By the fifth strike, a large hole was punched through the front of the iron gate.

I threw away the shattered sword.

Up to this point, 10 seconds.

At that moment, the scales that had sprouted to my left chest disappeared.

[Skill Awakening!]

[‘Han (★★★★)’ has acquired the special skill ‘Linked Dragon Slayer’s Strike’!]

I never intended to climb the wall.

As if they expect me to climb the wall, with hundreds of soldiers swarming up there.

I kicked away the fragments of the broken gate and stepped into the fortress.

<You won’t last long.>

“I know.”

The pounding of my heart became intense.

No matter how much training I’d gone through, maintaining the Ascend state for long was a huge burden.

‘I have to do it as fast as possible.’

I swung a jab.

With a sound like fireworks going off, the body of a soldier who was staring blankly at me was pulverized and vanished.

I picked up the soldier’s sword that had fallen on the ground.

“This crazy bastard!”

“Did you come to find a place to die!”

[Church Soldier Lv.25] X 153

[Church Knight Lv.31] X 15

Soldiers gathered like ants within the fortress.

This was also within the expected range.

‘Where is it?’

Somewhere in here, there was an entrance leading underground.

[Ping!]

[Would you like to call in tactical tools?]

[In a combat situation, usage time is limited and increases according to the level of the tactical base.]

[Yes(Select) / No]

A red arrow was drawn in the sky.

The arrow pointed to a corner of the fortress.

‘Good.’

The target was set.

I pulled out a potion from my pouch, drank it in one gulp, and threw the bottle away.

[Church Soldier Lv.25] X 313

[Church Knight Lv.31] X 21

“…….”

The enemies kept swarming in.

The number of troops shown on the status window was two to three times, no, even more.

Soldiers of the Church kept appearing from all over the fortress.

‘Is this a suicide mission?’

Indeed, it was a risky strategy.

I would never have chosen it in a normal situation.

The survival rate was extremely low.

‘But…….’

There’s no other way.

Except to fight with my body.

“Kill him!”

With a shout, they charged at me.

After cutting down one of them, I leaped off the ground. I jumped a few meters up and landed on the wall. Soldiers were approaching in a line on the narrow wall path.

‘…….’

I spun my sword around.

And poured the boiling power into my whole body.

Crunch!

With each strike, two or three soldiers died.

Their armor and swords shattered and broke.

Weapons lost their edge every ten seconds.

When my sword broke, I grabbed another soldier’s sword.

When that broke, I used spears or axes.

“What… What kind of monster is that! Archers, prepare! Shoot in unison!”

“But our allies…!”

“It’s an order!”

Thunk!

I flinched.

An arrow had struck my back.

‘…….’

Well, dozens of archers were continuously shooting.

I broke the arrow shaft and used a corpse as a shield to advance along the narrow wall path.

Papapapapap! Dozens of arrows quickly turned the corpse into a porcupine.

‘Is that the entrance?’

There was a passage inside the fortress that seemed to lead to the cave.

Various barricades and obstacles were set up, with spearmen and knights taking positions.

I clicked my tongue.

I can’t afford to linger any longer.

Ascend was already reaching its limit.

“…….”

I furrowed my brows.

[Danger!]

[High Inquisitor]

[Noble Raskandar Lv.53]

A knight stepped forward from the barricade.

“I acknowledge your strength. But it seems you can’t go any further. Surrender.”

I threw away the corpse full of hundreds of arrows.

I pulled a large steel halberd from the pile of corpses.

“You’re bluffing. If you want to die, I won’t stop you.”

I smirked and gripped the halberd tightly with both hands.

Then I bent my waist and knees.

Bang!

I took off with a leap.

“You foolish bastard!”

The knight, shouting loudly, drew his sword.

“I am Raskandar Izeral! A senior paladin who has dedicated his life to justice, I will exterminate you! Let’s fight fair and square!”

The knight performed a grand stance and charged at me.

Flutter!

Suddenly, the sparrow flew out in front of the knight’s eyes.

<Take this! My surprise beak attack!>

“……?!”

Thunk.

The guy clutched his face where he was pecked on the nose.

Immediately, my halberd cleaved the knight in half along with his armor.

“What a joke.”

Amidst the falling piles of blood, I laughed.
