While continuing to watch the screen, Director Kang muttered to himself.
“It’s a pity that such a sensational quest ended up in failure.”
Weed just died a while ago after going through such an intense battle and with his death, took along a huge deal of the excitement away. But it was not yet the time to relax, not until Weed’s special program in Las Phalanx reached to the end of the live video feed. Though the battle had ended, many of the staff of KMC Media were still rooted in their seats watching the video.
As for the staff that went back to work, they once again glued their eyes towards the screen.
There was still plenty to watch in the race war that will determine who reigns as supreme in Las Phalanx.
Director Kang suddenly had a question.
“Weed already died, so why are we still receiving the video feed?”
The other staff had similar thoughts as well.
“Yeah, Weed definitely had died….”
“If he had died then the video would have been cut off by now.”
The staff that had become avid fans of Weed continued to watch the video without saying a thing.
Thump. Thump.
Their hearts were now racing.
Shortly after the scene, they had already guessed what was about to occur.
Ever since Weed took his own life, these anxious staffs had their eyes only at the screen with their chests beating loudly.
‘Come.’
‘Now is the time to get up….. Keukeukeukeukeukeu.’
***
Dense smoke was rising!
And then a huge beam of green light flashed through like lightning.
When Weed suddenly came to, he was looking down at Kubichya who was relaxing far below him. Weed was revived through the skill Power to Reject Death but somehow the way he felt with his body was far too different than when he was revived as Origin of the Skeleton.
He had bones thicker than a building’s steel frame.
Had wings and a tail, and an enormous head with a snout.
Weed had revived as a Dragon.
- You have returned from the darkness of the abyss. The skill level of the Power to Reject Death has increased by 1.
Skill has reached Beginner level 3. Strength and Health will gain an additional 2% due to the power of darkness.
Additional effect will be granted by fighting more wickedly.
The possibility to raise more undead increases.
After resurrection, the number of available race-specific skills increases as well as the skill level.
- You have been resurrected as a large monster.
Penalties will be applied to racial skills.
Because of your failure to match the basic stat conditions of this race, your body will deteriorate over time.
You will have relatively poor health.
A large amount of power will be exhausted in order to maintain the body weight.
Any sudden movements can cause damage to your body.
Before Weed could get used to his new body, he had began searching for Rover.
‘Good, he’s not dead yet.’
Rover, nearing his imminent death was running amok. Due to his last ditch resistance, the Chaos Warriors could not apply the final blow.
‘I can’t let you die yet.’
Weed took a one step forward, which measured more than 10 meters in length.
Kkwaaaaang!
Extremely large footsteps.
The large steps resonated, shaking the whole dungeon. Just by moving his new joints showcased tremendous power. But even with just a walking pace, a significant amount of his health dropped.
The suffering of a large monster!
Weed used his jaws to catch Rover.
Rover, not knowing what just happened was lifted into the air.
- Golden Bird, Eunsae, if you guys are still alive then take Rover away with you.
Jjaejaejaejaek!
Golden Bird and Eunsae burst out through the smoke with a loud cry. Flying in the air and navigating through the gaps, they both rescued Rover by swiftly grabbing him away. Weed then lifted his claw to shoulder height to help Rover, who he spit out in order to make him fly up even higher, as he blocked the path of the Chaos Warriors that might have taken to give chase.
‘Now it’s Kubichya’s turn.’
Weed then turned.
Inferno Knights and Chaos Warriors were stunned as they continued to look up.
Though Weed was hesitating for a bit, he must not waste more time. He must not give Kubichya time to recover, and it would be very effective to use his current body to fight against him now. But since there was a ceiling blocking him, Weed was unable to fly.
- Kuoooooooo!
Dragon’s Roar!
Weed moved instinctively, taking advantage of the stunned state of the Chaos Warriors.
Using his hind legs, he suddenly trampled Kubichya. It was an attack that he had put all of his weight in. Due to his severe injuries, Kubichya was unable to use his teleportation skill, giving him no options for escape. However, he did not die after being trampled and was slowly recovering.
But Weed then tossed him into the air like a ball before chomping him with his jaws.
“We must save Daejeonsa!”
“Attack the Dragon!”
The Dragon’s Roar effects did not even last for five seconds.
Chaos Warriors raised their axes, teleporting towards Weed and started hacking away at his body.
Neck, spine, flanks, and legs, all were being hacked by the Chaos Warriors’ axes.
The whole body of the Bone Dragon was burning!
Large monsters were strong due to their high strength and health. But being born with a huge body also had its drawbacks. Though they had enough power to kill enemies in a single swoop, they had slow attack speed. And their attacks were so full of openings.
In addition, Weed was still not used to the current state of his body.
‘It would have been nice if I could have practiced using this form first…’
He was feeling strange due to having a tail and a pair of wings.
Wrapping his front limbs around his body and covering his head with his folded wings, Weed hunched over.
This can be called as the best defensive position for a Dragon!
Enduring all of the attacks and unable to counter, Weed focused only on his goal.
‘The front fangs and molars seem to be pretty strong.’
Just like chewing a rock there were a lot of cracking sounds, but Weed didn’t care whether his teeth broke.
Becoming a toothless Dragon or not, he was desperate to finish off Kubichya!
Due to receiving simultaneous attacks, Weed’s health rapidly declined.
Since Kubichya was unable to use teleportation, he was still being grinded in Weed’s jaw.
And in the midst of crunching through Kubichya, system message windows popped out.

But Weed quickly realized that his remaining health was only 12%.
“Master, I shall to come to save you.”
“I can’t bear to watch anymore.”
Golden Bird and Eunsae came back for Weed after moving Rover to a safe location.
But Weed stopped them with his whisper.
- There is no need to worry about me. Go back to Rover. That is an order.
Weed knew that even if Golden Bird and Eunsae came back for him, he still cannot be saved. All of the remaining Chaos Warriors were now coming for him. Though the Inferno Knights were still busy fighting some of the Chaos Warriors, the group of Fire Giants changed their target and aimed to take Weed’s life.
Weed’s demise was inevitable but he had no regrets. Weed has already prepared himself for this.
- Damn bastards! I’m taking you all down with me!
Weed took a deep breath. He inhaled as much as he could. His Dragon chest bloated hideously.
After pouring all of his mana into it, he then unleashed his skill.
Acid Breath.
The Bone Dragon’s Acid Breath surged through the Chaos Warrior-ridden battlefield.
