Chereads / The Only Necromancer / Chapter 51 - Celdrae

Chapter 51 - Celdrae

The dragon came out and silenced everyone present. All the hunters who were fighting froze after seeing the dragon's form. The valiant screams disappeared, the fighting spirit began to crumble.

They feel that today is the day of their death, I also froze as if my body became stiff and difficult to move.

The dragon is black with golden eyes. Its very large body and scales that look hard like iron make it a very feared monster.

The dragon stood in front of the portal with its huge wings spread out, and it roared loudly.

"We're going to die..." A hunter's voice sounded weak.

It's also my first time seeing a dragon, and this dragon looks really strong. I don't know if I can survive that dragon. It was as if all the power I had would be meaningless.

I looked at Hunter Akiya Junzo from up here, his eyes still seemed to have a fighting spirit. He doesn't look scared like other hunters, I can feel it from here. He was still able to fight.

Suddenly hunter Akiya Junzo raised his hand and hit the ground very hard, the sound was so loud that it caught the attention of all hunters.

"Why have you become so weak?! We are all hunters! And we are here to fight! Where is your burning spirit?!" Akiya Junzo shouted so loudly that he woke up the hundreds of hunters who were there.

It made all the hunters come back to their senses including myself, they had a different look from before. As if they weren't afraid to die.

I was also awakened by him, why am I being such a coward? Though I've always had a hard time since becoming a Necromancer. I have strength and I believe I can face the difficulties this time too.

"Attack!!!!" The voice of a hunter was heard screaming as he ran and attacked the monsters in front of him.

Suddenly the Lich spoke to me via telepathy. "That dragon is called Celdra. His nickname is Celdrae The Brave, he is one of the strongest dragons of the demon army."

"Is he really that strong? Am I able to beat him?" I asked Lich.

"He is very strong, but you were able to defeat him. Because you have the power of the King of Darkness within you."

"Then I will use all my strength to defeat him."

Then I landed on the ground with my skeleton wyvern. I summoned all my skeleton commanders. Luck, Diar, and Minos.

Then I ran near the portal, luckily Celdrae the dragon didn't attack the surroundings right away. It seemed like he just stood still and waited until the end to deliver the final blow.

Even though his body is very large I think he has a weakness, because his scales are very hard so I won't spend time attacking his body. Then I'll try to aim for his eyes, because his eyes have no protection.

"Ryu Young Soo!!!" I shouted at Hunter Ryu Young Soo who was silent and just watching the fight from afar.

"Help hunter Akiya Junzo fight against that demon! I'll take care of the dragon!" I shouted at him while running.

Then Hunter Ryu Young Soo came back to his senses and he immediately joined the fight. Right now the two demons seem to be trying to avoid fighting and I don't know why.

And I felt that if they weakened a bit, their movements slowed down and hunter Akiya Junzo managed to corner one of the demons in a one-on-one fight.

I didn't think I needed to interfere in their fight, so I decided to run straight at the dragon.

However one of the demons tried to attack me from the side, I couldn't dodge this.

*Zshshsh*

Suddenly, Hunter Hase Nariko came and blocked the demon's attack. Then he looked at me and seemed to tell me to leave.

Seeing that I immediately left, I was very grateful to her. I got closer to Celdrae the dragon along with some of my skeletons.

After being right in front of him, I felt like looking at it from this distance felt bigger. I even had to hold my head up to see his head.

He looked at me and he was silent for a moment. He looked at me as if he knew me.

Suddenly he opened his mouth and tried to shoot a fireball at me. I quickly used shadow steps to dodge the attack, and luckily my skeletons also managed to dodge the attack.

The impact of the fireball attack left a large hole in the center of the city. I can't imagine what would happen if it hit me.

Even an ordinary fireball attack can be that strong, I can't imagine what would happen if he used a stronger ability.

I ordered my skeleton to attack the dragon separately from several directions at once. I asked Minos to throw me and Luck at Celdrae's head.

Then he threw us into the air very high, and Celdrae the dragon saw that he tried to attack us while in the air with his hands.

But Luck grabbed my hand and threw me at his head quickly. It sent Luck flying in the other direction and luckily I managed to reach Celdrae's head.

Celdrae the dragon then got angry and he moved his head quickly to make me fall. However I quickly stabbed my sword into his head, but because the scales were so hard my sword couldn't penetrate it.

I almost fell, then I activated black aura and tried to plunge my sword really hard so I don't fall from up here.

*Zlop*

My sword managed to pierce through a bit of the scales, and I managed to hold on and not fall down.

Diar and Minos tried to attack Celdrae's leg, but it didn't seem to have any effect on Celdrae. I guess I'm the only one who can inflict damage on this dragon.

Celdrae the dragon was still annoyed and tried to get me off his head, he opened his mouth and roared very loudly. The sound was so loud that it hurt my ears, it made me lose my balance and almost fall from up here.

The sound still made my ears ring, but I had to move quickly before Celdrae the dragon attacked the other hunters.

Then I decided to move and attack his eyes, I took the right stance before releasing my sword from his scales.

After that I pulled my sword from its scales, and quickly ran into its eyes. He shook his head - shaking his head to send me flying into the air.

But I pushed my body as hard as I could with my legs pointing at his eyes. And I quickly slashed at his left eye with my Red Crescent sword.

I slashed so hard that it sliced ​​through the air and it damaged the buildings around the dragon. Then I lost my footing and fell down.

Luckily my skeleton wyvern came and saved me. I quickly flew in another direction with my skeleton wyvern.

I believe I've inflicted quite a fatal wound on Celdrae the dragon. And that makes me quite relieved.

I couldn't see Celdrae the dragon's head because of the dust that was scattered around it from the damaged buildings.

Then I flew with my skeleton wyvern around Celdrae the dragon to see his condition.

After a while suddenly Celdrae the dragon roared loudly again. The roar swept away all the dust and smoke in the surroundings and an intense pressure could be felt even from afar.

Then I looked at Celdrae's head, and I was very surprised because her eyes weren't hurt at all. It shocked me so much that I became very confused.

Even though I had slashed its eyes with my sword with great force, but such a powerful attack couldn't even hurt this dragon's eye. Then what else can I do?

I was getting desperate, Celdrae the dragon looked at me and he tried to attack me while I was in the air. He shot a huge fireball at me and my skeleton wyvern.

Luckily my skeleton wyvern moved really fast and managed to dodge the fireball.

Finally I ordered all my skeletons to stay away from Celdrae the dragon, I don't want to lose the skeleton commander. Also they can't fight the dragons, so I think it's better to pull them back.

I flew with my skeleton wyvern away from Celdrae the dragon, luckily he didn't chase us and just stayed where he was. I turned to him, my mind went blank.

I don't know what else I can do, although the Lich says that I can defeat the dragon but I don't know what to do.

From up here I can see the battles of all the hunters against the monsters that came out of the portal. I could also see S-Rank hunters fighting the two demons very fiercely.

"Everyone is fighting really hard, but I'm not helping at all." That's all I can say right now.

Just when I lowered my head suddenly a message popped up.

[The power has been completely absorbed]

[Do you want to upgrade the Black Aura skill?]

[You will be penalized for upgrading your skills]

[Yes or No]

I looked at the message with great surprise. But I didn't care anymore and I quickly decided.

"Yes."
