I Become a Mafia in the Academy - Chapter 246

“Kang Hyun, keep the other guys away!”

“Yes. Master.”

At the same time as we were about to charge towards the dragon king, the guys around the dragon king tried to charge towards us.

-How dare you!

-How dare you! Freakish fish!

But Kang Hyun grabs the water and tries to pull them away, causing the water around them to rage and impede their movement.

-Grrrrrr! How dare you!

– General Mudskipper! Please help His Majesty!!

Most of them turn their attention to Kang Hyun, and in an instant, there are only two of them left in front of us.

-Kowabunga……!

-Mango……!

I wonder if it’s because they can move around outside water.

Kang Hyun’s ability didn’t work.

Even so, I couldn’t understand why a creature that looked like Zara would be speaking in an unintelligible language called ‘kowabunga’.

“Eugene. A bunch of rattlers just flew over to where the kids are, is it okay?”

Young Hoham asked with concern as he looked at the children behind him.

“Familia doesn’t raise their children to be weak, I’m sure they can handle that.”

“Yeah, well, if you say so, I guess we’ll say hello first.”

Tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk.

Snapping his knuckles, he steps forward and walks toward the goby-headed monster.

-You can’t take another step forward. Goby……!

“Well, a man of valor should have that much courage!”

Young Hoham, his left hand wrapped around his right wrist, slowly approaches the creature.

“Walrus.”

He makes a fist with a starter word that doesn’t even sound like a technique name.

But at the same time.

KOOONG──!

A sound like that of a construction site echoes around him.

-Maang…… Tuuuk……?!

The goby raised its shield to defend itself, but its body was punctured along with the shield.

“Yeah, you should have dodged it, not blocked it.”

He kicked the goby that was slowly floating upwards and away with his foot.

“Now, the next one, the one with the kowabunga, come here.”

Gesturing to the next shivering Zara, Young Hoham looks up and asks.

“Do you know who I am?”

As if he’s about to slaughter them all.

* * *

“Pull the wave.”

Kang Hyun follows his master’s command, pulling the enemies toward him.

As they stare at the slowly approaching enemies, they each grab their weapons.

“Uh, aren’t there more of them than we thought? It’s gross.”

Se-ah snaps her fingers in disbelief.

“I’m sure you’ve been practicing over vacation, and this is a good test.”

“By the way…….”

Raising his fountain pen, Young-jae begins to stack simple buffs on top of each other as he swings it at the children, then Choi Yeon draws a sword from her scabbard.

“Practice……!”

The strongest sword she has, forged from the materials Eugene gave her in the past.

[Name: Illusory Holy Sword]

[Rank: Semi-Mythical]

[Type: Illusory Sword]

[Description: A sword forged from a fragment of the mythical sword Excalibur. It has been influenced by Excalibur and is imbued with divinity, ready to write new myths with its wielder at any moment.

Its divinity grants it additional damage to its evil attribute.

This semi-mythical sword cannot be worn or broken, and remains in tip-top shape.

It can heal ailments 3 times per day and grants the user strong magic resistance.

Greatly increases the user’s healing power.]

It was a sword that had never been drawn before, not even by her grandfather, so when she finally had the chance to use it, she couldn’t help but feel happy.

-Now that’s done, let’s make quick work of them and get to the king!

-Sweep away those strange fish!

A group of fish rushed towards Kang Hyun, riding the current he had created.

Se-ah shudders at the sight of Choi Yeon charging forward with her sword drawn as if it doesn’t matter.

“Ew! How are you going to get in there alone?!”

“It’s Choi Yeon, so support her first!”

As Choi Yeon dives into the school of fish, an eerie sound of flesh grinding begins to emanate from within.

At the same time, one by one, the fish begin to float towards the sky.

-Kishaaaaaat!!!

-General Shark, help!

At the sight of being swept away, the fish begin to fervently cry out for someone’s name, and a black shadow swoops down on them.

-Get out of the way!!!

With a snap, one of the fish in Choi Yeon’s way disappears into the giant mouth.

Choi Yeon faces forward to guard against the sudden charge.

-It’s no ordinary fish that can block this!

“You, the shark that took Jin-woo.”

The shark’s body suddenly began to twist and turn, and Choi Yeon was stunned as she casually swung her sword at her opponent, who suddenly revealed his back.

‘Why did he suddenly turn his back?’

She thought for a moment.

“Concentrate.”

Choi Yeon nodded at the sound of Kang Hyun’s voice from behind her realizing that he had helped.

Now that she was underwater, it was impossible to fight by shaping water but that wasn’t necessarily a disadvantage.

On the contrary, being able to control the currents themselves allowed for more versatility.

As a dislocator, it was difficult to utilize, but as a supporter, it was perfect.

However,

“……is not a good combination.”

Since she was originally a fighter and turned into a supporter, the formation was bound to collapse.

-The hole leads all the way to His Majesty’s palace!

-Everybody rush in!

As the fight dragged on, the fish spread throughout the dragon palace began to swarm.

“Don’t let the others go to where Eugene is, Kang Hyun, drive them all this way!”

“……I know!”

Kang Hyun struggles to control the current against the mass of fish.

A smile spreads across Choi Yeon’s face as the mass of fish swarms toward her, and Se-ah’s face, who has been working hard to improve her accuracy with the support of Young-jae’s magic, is colored in disbelief.

“There are too many!”

“It’s okay, Se-ah, I can handle a few.”

“Of course you can, Choi Yeon!”

After a moment of contemplating the fish she’s about to fight, Se-ah decides she has no choice but to use her fists.

“Voila.”

A man appeared in the water, creating a strange current.

A man whose very existence was ridiculous, rising up out of countless bubbles of air.

“──This body descends.”

Creating countless gusts of wind around him, Jin-woo once again picked up his dagger and returned to the battlefield after recovering.

* * *

“──NOOOOOOM!!!”

The Dragon King’s giant fist slams towards me.

Even though it’s just a normal punch, it’s difficult to dodge as the sea water rushes in with it.

However, with enough space around me, I’m able to dodge his fist by activating Shadow Walk, and I’m in front of the dragon king in no time.

Since guns are virtually sealed underwater, I chose to fight using the ‘Aura Formula’.

I remember what Young Hoham did earlier.

‘Was it like this?’

I form an aura awl in front of my fist to minimize the water’s resistance, then drive my fist into the creature’s chest with all my might.

“Extinguish!”

-This is dangerous, my lord, dangerous!

At the sight of this, Zara, who was fighting Young Hoham, screams.

“You’re supposed to be playing with me!”

With a loud thud, Zara, the kowabunga, is lifted into the sky.

With that, the dragon king was finally alone.

“Why, why do you destroy our peaceful dragon palace?”

The Dragon King cries out to us as he slowly rises from his prostrate position.

I couldn’t help but laugh at the way he shouted as if he truly didn’t know what he had done wrong.

Young Hoham snorted and stepped forward.

“You really don’t know what you’re doing, kidnapping a child in another country, and then being a dungeon boss in the territory of another country?”

“Since it’s come to this, I’ll have no more mercy for you!”

Kugugugugugung────!!!

The entire Dragon Palace begins to vibrate as the Dragon King shouts.

-The Dragon King is furious!

-Everyone hide, hide in your burrows, hide wherever you can!

Just as I realize what the heck is going on, the fish that have been battling the children in the back start to leave one by one.

-Gooooooooooooooooo!

The Dragon King’s body glows brightly and begins to change form.

His body becomes thinner and thinner and longer.

-Ddddddddd!

The entire Dragon Palace shakes with shock.

Finally, the creature, having completed its transformation, smashes the surrounding buildings in frustration and glares at me.

Blue scales covered its body, and two horns rose from its head as immense energy radiated from his body.

“I’m going to have to take this one seriously.”

Young Hoham, who hadn’t lost his smile at the sight of the dragon king exuding an aura of intimidation that was far beyond anything he’d shown before, turned serious and clenched his fists.

The opponent was one of the strongest monsters in the world, the Dragon Race.

Even if he was Young Hoham, he wouldn’t be able to hold back against a dragon.

But

“Brother Young Ho. This may sound ridiculous, but…… do you think I can take on that guy by myself?”

“Huh?”

Hearing my words, Young Hoham looks at me as if he doesn’t know what I’m talking about.

“I know that you are strong, but the opponent is a dragon.”

“I know, and that’s why I’m asking for a favor.”

“Because it’s a dragon? What does that mean?”

“It’s…….”

[A dragon has appeared! Attribute: [Dragon Slayer] is activated!

【Dragon Slayer】

[1. Dragon Slayer – Deals 3x damage to dragons only].

[Epic Imprint reacts to the enemy in front of you!]

[Imprint: -Dragon (Reaper of the Immortals) : You plunged your dagger into the heart of the one who ruled the flames of the Abyss, and amidst a shower of deadly blows, you drank the blood of the Immortals; you are the reaper of death who brought the Immortals to rest.]

And crying in the cube, my chopsticks…… Ascalon MK.2

[Name: Ascalon]

[Class: Relic]

[Type: Holy Relic]

[Description: A sword said to have been used by St. George to choke the life out of the evil dragon Fafnir.

It explosively increases the user’s holy power and can activate sanctuaries around them.

With all of my talents and items specialized for hunting dragons, how could I stand still?

“I’ve actually killed a dragon before. With the right amount of support, I’m sure I can take it down.”

I glance at the dragon king, clutching Ascalon in one hand.

“Heh, if you say so, I’ll take it. This Ham will take care of you, so you can go on your rampage.”

I nod in agreement and slowly move forward.

-I’m going to kill you……!

The creature, not yet realizing the situation, lets out an angry cry at me…….

It’s a losing battle since he’s already turned into a dragon.

“You little worm thinks you’re going to win?”

Well, let’s try to cook him properly, shall we?
