These two bracelets were also something he borrowed from Constantine. In any case, he already got paid in advance for the goldmine and this Dragon slaughtering.
[You equipped Flaming Bracelet, Hot Weapons Mastery +1]
[You equipped Frost Bracelet, Hot Weapons Mastery +1]
With the bonuses from those two bracelets, Marvin’s Hot Weapons Mastery directly reached [Expert] rank.
However!
This wasn’t enough!
That big fella in the suitcase needed at least Master rank Mastery to be used.
He took out a pair of gloves. This pair of gloves was a bit special, with the fingers made of steel, reducing the flexibility but offering good protection to the palms.
He removed the Ghastly Gloves he had been wearing and put on that pair of special gloves called [Kersu’s Fury].
In the end, his Hot Weapons Mastery reached [Master] level!
By forcibly relying on his borrowed equipment, Marvin successfully turned himself into a temporary Battle Gunner with Master Hot Weapons Mastery.
He then opened that suitcase.
In the darkness of the night, the big cannon seemed very beautiful.
‘Men should be having fun with this kind of rough thing!’
‘If I hadn’t gotten into the game early on and Battle Gunner hadn’t been released so late, maybe I wouldn’t have played a Thief.’
‘No need to get close, just fuck them from a distance. Just thinking about it is exciting enough!’
He began to quickly assemble this [Brilliant Purple] Legendary Item!
Brilliant Purple had many parts, and its structure was also very complex.
Constantine could assemble or dismantle it in mere moments, but Marvin needed at least one hour.
This was only because he could follow the assembly manual.
Marvin was still a novice after all.
…
An hour later, Brilliant Purple was finally assembled.
Marvin hid beside a huge rock, simply getting ready to use Brilliant Purple once he had an opportunity.
It wasn’t rare for him to play around with those catapults and other things during siege battles, so he figured that his long range weapon control wasn’t bad.
Constantine only gave Marvin one [Dragon Tooth] artillery shell.
In other words, he only had one chance to fire.
If he missed his shot, the Dragon would fly away.
That would be a big loss.
Each shot cost 500 Wizard golds after all!
Constantine himself only had five [Dragon Tooth] shells before, and after using one to kill Bamboo, he only had four left.
The manufacturing process for each Dragon Tooth was very troublesome. This was the reason Hot Weapons didn’t become mainstream in Feinan.
When fighting, each shot was money.
Marvin knew this.
Why weren’t the Shas powerful? Because there were few of them, and they lacked resources and the business mindset.
Battle Gunners needed large amount of money.
Look at the current Marvin for example. As a level 1 Battle Gunner he dared to go kill a Dragon after equipping a frightening weapon and a set of frightening equipment.
There was a large amount of money behind this!
Naturally, it was linked to the friendly relations between Night Walkers.
…
As the agreed time was getting closer, Marvin also became more and more excited!
His blood was on fire and his heart was beating a lot faster!
This was killing a Dragon!
Even if it was only an Adult Red Dragon, this was a very dangerous existence for Marvin!
If he was careless, he would get embroiled in the fight.
If it weren’t for his trust in Ivan’s strength and complete faith in his own reaction speed, he wouldn’t dare to come.
‘Go ahead, I am ready.’ Marvin kept adjusting the cannon’s orientation, while silently saying those words in his heart.
…
Fifteen minutes later, Ivan finally moved!
He acted and ruthlessly kept attacking!
He had suddenly rushed to that hidden Red Dragon and fiercely beat him up!
“Roar!”
A frightening Dragon’s roar could be heard, causing the island to shake and fierce waves to toss about in the surroundings.
Fortunately, Marvin picked a good location and wasn’t affected by the Dragon’s roar.
He was about 8 kilometers away!
This was a very safe distance for Marvin.
Thanks to the Night Monarch’s blessing, he could see the battle ongoing in the mountain gorge.
The large Red Dragon seemed very weak under Ivan’s fierce attacks.
Their stature formed a distinct contrast!
Under such discrepancy, Ivan’s punches seemed very fierce!
It was very different from the Martial Monk. Ivan’s punches had an overwhelming pressuring power.
It had the intent of not sparing anything. Even if it meant destroying indiscriminately, it would beat you down.
…
“Worthy of the man I fancy!”
Not far away, a strange glint flicked in the Sea Elven Queen’s eyes.
If it weren’t for her plan, she wouldn’t be able to wait to pounce on Ivan to strip him naked before using force.
Really too fierce!
The Red Dragon was beaten up so much it was wailing. Only people this powerful could beat a Red Dragon like a dog.
“Your Highness, it looks like he has a friend,” reminded one of the Sea Elves on the side.
“You mean that guy hiding over there?”
The Sea Elven Queen disdainfully dismissed, “Too weak, peeping with some sort of telescope, I have no interest in him.”
“But that telescope seems to be emitting some strange energy. It looks like a good thing,” her follower said.
“Do we lack good things in our palace?”
The Queen had no interest in Marvin. There was only Ivan in her eyes. She suddenly said, “That Red Dragon will risk his life to escape in a moment.”
“The War Saint probably can’t fly, his biggest regret. But I can help him block it.”
“At that time, I’m sure I’ll win him over!”
…
Indeed, just like the Sea Elven Queen said.
The Red Dragon naturally knew he wasn’t Ivan’s match in a melee battle and soon used his cunning, followed by Dragon Magic, to forcefully escape!
He spread his wings and hurriedly raised his huge body!
Despite Ivan’s astonishing jump, he was delayed by the Dragon Spell and failed to catch up!
“Time to act!” The Sea Elven Queen smiled.
The Red Dragon rose up rapidly, heading toward the east before quickly arriving in front of a mountain.
But at that time, a huge mountain rock rolled down from the east mountain!
“Rumble!”
Marvin’s foot had already kicked the loose rock, completely exposing his position!
On the mountain, the huge cannon could now be adjusted at will, no longer having any obstacles in the way.
“Finally.”
Marvin tightly held onto Brilliant Purple and firmly locked it onto the Red Dragon swiftly flying over!
His heartbeat immediately increased several times as he silently assessed the distance between both sides as well as the attack position.
“What does he want to do?” The Sea Elven Queen noticed his actions and didn’t move.
The Red Dragon also looked at the insignificant silhouette on the mountain peak.
It didn’t pay it any attention. The other side’s strength was too weak, so it wouldn’t be able to pose any threat to him!
But the next instant, Marvin took a deep breath.
He moved his hand and abruptly pulled on the lever. He was thrown backward by the powerful recoil, almost falling off the mountain!
“Bang!”
In an instant, an extremely thick purple light was shot out of the cannon!
This was a cannon piercing heaven and earth!
“Woosh!”
Flames and lightning forcefully pierced through the Dragon’s head, smashing it into pieces!
Blood fell, sprinkling around like rain!
The Red Dragon’s body fell down extremely miserably!
The Sea Elven Queen and her followers were completely stunned!
…
Marvin felt an acute pain in his chest, and he coughed some blood.
But looking at the numerous logs, he loudly laughed.
That was an artillery shell!
That felt fucking great!
Chapter 194: Dragon Slayer
Chapter 194: Dragon Slayer
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
[You killed the target creature (Adult Red Dragon). You obtained 8000 battle exp.]
[Dragon race experience doubled. You actually obtained 16000 battle exp.]
[You received the title – Dragon Slayer]
[World Fame (Dragon Slayer) +1]
[Chromatic Dragon Enmity +1, Red Dragon Enmity +3]
…
A large amount of logs flashed in front of him. The benefits from killing the Red Dragon were obvious.
The first one was the Dragon Slayer title.
[Dragon Slayer]:
1st Effect: Your strength is awe-inspiring, Dignity +50.
2nd Effect: Dragon Might Resistance +10.
These two properties were only the effect on the surface. Marvin knew that after getting the Dragon Slayer title, there would be even more benefits when walking among people.
For example, if he had the Dragon Slayer title when he released his wilderness clearing order, there might have been three or four times more people coming because of his reputation.
…
After killing the Dragon, Marvin not only got the Dragon Slayer title, but also his first point of World Fame.
It’s rumored that when a Dragon died, it would automatically leave a warning to its race. After Marvin and Ivan joined hands to kill the Dragon, there would be a trace of resentment left on their bodies.
This kind of resentment could be distinguished by Red Dragons and Chromatic Dragons. As for the rumors about the Dragon Slayer, it would slowly spread among them, ultimately drifting to the human world.
Naturally, the Red Dragons would be hostile to Marvin after this Dragon’s murder. The Chromatic Dragons would also not have a favorable opinion.
As for the Metallic Dragons like the Copper Dragon and the Bronze Dragon, they would actually have increased Affinity toward Marvin.
But the most important benefit from killing a Dragon was the materials.
It they were properly handled, they could be made into first grade goods like alchemical products and magic potions.
Many also believed that taking a bath in Dragon’s blood would improve one’s physique.
Marvin naturally wanted to try it.
However, they weren’t done with their troubles.
When Marvin fired that cannon and puked blood from the recoil, he suddenly felt something wrong.
He instantly used the Sea Emperor’s Crown at his waist and felt some warning signs.
There were some powerful lifeforms hiding in the surroundings!
‘Shit!’
‘It’s a situation like when the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?’ Marvin’s thoughts were rather heavy.
Who could be there?
He suddenly thought of something and his heart immediately sank. He hid the Sea Emperor’s Crown in his chest while slowly moving Brilliant Purple’s huge cannon to aim at an empty distant location.
“Your Majesty the Queen. Since you came, do you have to hide?” He said this purely to probe.
He hadn’t actually expected that a few pretty women would appear out of nowhere after these words.
As he had guessed, they were Sea Elves.
…
That one cannon shot truly startled the Elves, including the Queen.
They had never seen such a frightening killing tool in all their time in the seas!
A cannon made the Dragon’s head burst like a tomato, sending blood flying everywhere… This kind of power was really too frightening.
The Sea Elven Queen assessed that killing the Red Dragon wouldn’t be too difficult for her either, but killing it in such an efficient way like Marvin did would be very difficult.
But it also didn’t occur to her that this was because the Red Dragon was careless.
Marvin’s first shot was hard to avoid, but that was because it didn’t take Marvin seriously and delivered himself in front Marvin.
Wasn’t that just gifting Marvin some experience…
But in any case, that shock made a flaws appear in their camouflage. And Marvin was warned due to the strong perception granted by the Sea Emperor’s Crown. He randomly said a sentence to bait them out.
“It’s you again!”
Ivan had painstakingly climbed to Marvin’s mountain. He wanted to check on how Marvin was doing, but he didn’t expect to see the Sea Elven Queen appear.
The pitiful Elven Prince had a shadow in his heart. Just a moment ago he felt extremely bold and powerful but he suddenly started to panic a bit.
…
“I still haven’t officially become the Sea Elven Queen, thus there is no need to use ‘Your Majesty’.”
“‘Your Highness’ will suffice.”
The Sea Elven Queen regained her calm, looked at Marvin and said, “We don’t have any evil intentions.”
“Haha…” Ivan sneered from behind.
Marvin coughed twice, hinting at Ivan to stay calm.
The best outcome would be if the other side didn’t act and was willing to listen.
Marvin right now was afraid they would angrily snatch Ivan, along with this Red Dragon’s corpse.
Marvin would have nowhere to cry.
“Dear Queen… Since you have no evil intent, could you let us get our loot first before discussing?”
The cannon was still pointing at them as Marvin said this.
He was betting on the other side not knowing how this thing worked.
At that time he could only bluff.
“Feel free.” The Sea Elven Queen frowned.
With that power, if she didn’t dodge on time, even she might be blown to pieces!
The words coming out of that guy’s mouth might be pleasant to hear, but he was in fact threatening her!
A crafty guy indeed. He was obviously powerful, but he still pretended to be this weak.
At this time, she could only perceive the other side’s strength to be at the 3rd rank.
This was impossible!
‘To be able to kill a Red Dragon so easily, how could he be at the 3rd rank?’
‘Ivan didn’t even notice me hiding, but this guy did. Could he be a lot stronger than Ivan?’
‘Who is he in the end?’
The Sea Elven Queen looked at Marvin with curiosity.
She also wanted to see how this guy in front of her was planning on dealing with the loot.
Marvin, suddenly took out something from his Void Conch.
It was a Thousand Paper Crane.
It was gifted to Marvin by Shadow Thief Owl when they first met. After merging with his body, Marvin randomly found out that it not only let him learn Origami, but he also could summon that Thousand Paper Crane out.
This was an invaluable thing!
This was the work of the Shadow Thief himself. His Origami skill even made the Crimson Patriarch suffer a loss.
As Ivan and the Sea Elven Queen watched in curiosity, the Thousand Paper Crane slowly flew down from the mountain peak.
The impressive Red Dragon’s corpse was calmly lying at the bottom of the mountain.
The Thousand Paper Crane softly swept past the Red Dragon’s corpse. The corpse disappe
ared in an instant!
‘Storage Item!?’
‘What’s this item?’
The Sea Elven Queen was more and more curious.
The Thousand Paper Crane slowly flew up before landing onto Marvin’s palm and disappearing.
Marvin sighed in relief.
He got a hold of it.
The Thousand Paper Crane that Shadow Thief Owl gave him was a pretty good mobile Storage Item.
This was one of the highest level techniques of Origami.
It was one of the things that the first to rob a God used in those days.
He actually didn’t need to go in many tightly guarded areas. He only needed to throw a Thousand Paper Crane in.
The Red Dragon’s corpse was very safe in the Thousand Paper Crane because time was frozen inside. Well, it was actually still flowing, but at an unimaginably slow speed.
The Dragon’s blood, bone marrow, and other such things could be preserved for a very long time.
…
“Queen, if there is nothing else, my friend and I will leave first.”
Marvin was still aiming the cannon toward the Queen as he continued, “But I have a feeling you don’t want to let us go.”
The Sea Elven Queen chuckled, “I have no interest in you, but Ivan is my man. What qualifications do you have to take him away?”
“Who the fuck is your man!?”
Ivan almost collapsed!
He angrily said, “Admiral, I know you are the most outstanding genius in the Sea Elven Clan, but you are old enough to be my mother. If you like powerful men, I can introduce you to my father, he has been single for quite many years.”
“Please don’t bother me anymore!”
“Nicholas?” The Sea Elven Queen surprisingly considered it seriously. “I saw him when he was young, but his potential is far inferior to yours.”
“Ivan, you are the Elven War Saint, and I am the Admiral. Trust me, our child will definitely be the strongest among the Elves…”
But her sentence was violently interrupted by Ivan.
“You’ll never have my child!”
“I’ll slowly convince you.” The Sea Elven Queen looked very gentle. “The years in the sea are very long, you’ll inevitably get used to it one day.”
Ivan took a deep breath and gave a meaningful glance to Marvin.
Marvin coughed and urged, “Queen, making a child isn’t something that can be forced.”
“Let’s suppose you use power to lock Ivan in your palace, if he doesn’t cooperate with you, wouldn’t it be useless?”
