408. My granddaughter is so lovely (8)

After taking a short breather, I entered the boss room. Since lizards came out last time, I figured it would be another lizard. "Wyvern?" Before my eyes was a huge wyvern. I remembered fighting one before. But this one was three times bigger. It looked to be almost 8m tall. Maybe that's why? It felt more like a dragon than a wyvern. The good thing was, there weren't any other monsters around. "What do you want to do?" "Hmm?" Going into the third district is starting to get tough for me too. Considering that, it would be good to conserve Shi-hyun's stamina. But I wasn't sure if I could really take it down. "I'll do it alone, no, I will." I wanted to show my daughter a cool side of me. Plus, I had experience fighting wyverns. It's just a little bigger. Unlike last time, I didn't have anything to protect, and I could go all out from the start. I entrusted Shi-a to Shi-hyun and stepped forward. First, a throwing spear, using magic to throw it with maximum power. The spear pierced the wing of the wyvern, which was curled up and asleep. "As expected." Its scales were tough, but not on the wings. Kweeeeeeeek! A scream-like cry echoed through the cavern. I immediately retrieved the spear and used the light sword. Before the wyvern could fully rise, I approached and swung the spear at its wing. Just before my spear swung, the wyvern twisted its body. It was a faster reaction than I thought. Still, it didn't dodge completely. Seeing the wyvern's body collapsing to the side, I changed the trajectory of the spear. Using my waist to forcefully twist my body, I swung the spear hard to the left, and I heard the sound of scales and leather tearing. "Nice!" I heard Shi-hyun's voice from behind. I immediately created some distance. Looking at its condition, it had large wounds on its neck and chest. Was creating distance a mistake? The wyvern composed itself and prepared to take flight. "Is this do or die...." I've experienced it before. How difficult it is to fight an enemy in the air. Plus, the monster was even bigger than before. If that thing flies and dives down? I'll be blown away by the impact alone. There were two answers. Either prevent it from taking off in the first place, or follow it. I channeled magic into my legs. And using release and enhancement simultaneously, I jumped high. Then I hurled the spear at the wyvern as it was taking off. Of course, the wyvern didn't just stand still. It tried to knock me away by flapping its wings hard. That was the plan. When the light sword-deployed spear touched the wyvern's wing, the wing tore. I somehow twisted my body in mid-air. Successfully grabbing the spear that had pierced the wyvern's wing and twisting my body, I began to fall towards the wyvern's back. The wyvern tried to spin its body wildly to shake me off, but my response was just a little faster. Quickly pulling out the spear, I aimed it back at the wyvern and struck. The spear pierced through the wyvern's body, and even in that state, the wyvern struck me hard to shake me off, but I held on to the spear. After that, it was completely my pace. Standing on the wyvern's back, I gleefully swung the spear and attacked the wyvern. The wyvern twisted and thrashed wildly in the air to shake off the clinging me, but I held on to its scales and endured. "Behind you! Watch out behind you!" I heard Shi-hyun's voice as I was swinging the spear. "Heup!" Glancing back, I saw a wall. The wyvern, realizing it couldn't shake me off, was trying to smash me into the wall. "Smart." There was no time to think. I had to move instinctively. I immediately threw myself off and swung the spear hard from top to bottom. KUNG! There was a powerful collision that echoed through the cavern, and green blood poured over my head. "Did it work?" Turning my body to assess the situation, my plan had worked perfectly. While dodging the wyvern's attack, I aimed for its wings, and the attack landed perfectly. The wyvern, bounced off the wall, flew back into the sky. "Tch." I felt like cursing, but I held it in. I aimed for its wings to prevent it from flying further, but it didn't work. The attack landed, but it wasn't enough. The desperately flying wyvern took a deep breath. I knew very well what that was. A prelude to breathing fire.... Shi-a is safe with Shi-hyun. What should I do? Even with magic and a spear, it would be difficult to withstand. My 고민 didn't last long. I gently placed the spear I was holding on my foot. The spear stood straight on my tiptoe. A circus-like technique. I increased the amount of magic spread throughout my body for enhancement. And I focused magic separately on my tiptoe. Doing two things at once, or rather, three things at once if you include moving my body. My sense was a bit off, so it was a bit precarious, but I managed to control it somehow. The wyvern closed its mouth. Fire leaked out from between its closed lips. It meant it had gathered enough power. Before the wyvern could open its mouth, I kicked the spear on my foot upwards a little faster. The moment the spear left my tiptoe, I strongly released the magic gathered on my tiptoe, striking the tip of the spear. The spear, boosted by the release, flew towards the wyvern in the air with a very powerful momentum. The spear pierced through the wyvern's body, which hadn't prepared, and was embedded in the wall behind it. The problem was that the wyvern didn't die from that. It seemed to have inflicted a fatal wound... but it wasn't enough to kill it. Its mouth gradually opened, and a ball of fire could be seen inside. "Ah...." I knew I had failed. I originally intended to end it with this.... I continued to maintain the magic flowing through my body to defend. "Good job." I heard that voice from behind, and I felt a great wind. Shi-hyun suddenly appeared above the wyvern's head and slammed it down. Kuuuung! A strong impact sound was heard. The aftershock was so strong that dust and wind flew towards me. "Haha...." It was over in a single blow. The wyvern's head was caved in and destroyed, and it was disgustingly leaking brain fluid. "Hoo... thanks." I said to Shi-hyun, who had stepped in. "You fought well." Shi-hyun, who was already next to me, patted my shoulder. "But in the end, you couldn't catch it alone." To be helped like this again... I felt a little sad. I stepped up saying I could handle it myself, but I couldn't keep my word. Shi-hyun poked my cheek with a smile. "It's okay, you know?" "I'm not okay." Annoyed, I turned away from Shi-hyun. Shi-hyun, for some reason, smiled brightly and tried to get into my sight. "Don't." Shi-hyun, for some reason, hugged me tightly. "I could have withstood the wyvern's fire." Of course, even if I had withstood it, I would have been burned, and my equipment would have been destroyed. Shi-hyun hugged me even tighter. It annoyed me a little that she was acting like she knew everything in my heart. "You know, I still didn't want you to get hurt." Shi-hyun kissed my forehead. "You fought well." "Hey...." Shi-hyun's unreserved actions annoyed me, but the problem was that my annoyance completely disappeared.... "I, isn't it over?" That's when Shi-a's voice was heard. I was flustered and pushed Shi-hyun away hard. Ah! They didn't come together today! I showed Shi-a an embarrassing side of me. Shi-hyun, who was pushed away, had a disappointed expression. Be a little embarrassed! "Shi, Shi-a, this is." "Mom was amazing!" Shi-a came closer and her eyes sparkled. "Re, really?" "Yes! You almost caught it, but monsters are still monsters. To be able to move even after being so injured." "Ri, right?" Should I be relieved that she didn't point out Shi-hyun's and my actions? I was held back by giving Shi-a various stories as she was excited, and the light of the spear embedded in the wall disappeared, and it returned to me at the same time. "Ah, quite a bit of time has passed." "Ye, yes, it has." "Did you rest enough? Let's go right away." Shi-a and I followed behind Shi-hyun and headed to the third district. I had nothing to do in the third district. Because the monsters had become stronger, it was difficult to even protect Shi-a behind me. Since I was solely responsible for marking Shi-a, Shi-hyun could focus on the battle with peace of mind. I said that I was helpful enough, but both Shi-a and I were cumbersome burdens. The exploration of the third district took more than two days. We packed as much as we could afford, but the food and water we brought ran out, so we had to go out once and come back in, but we were forced to break through by Shi-hyun's insistence. And Shi-hyun fought the boss of the third district alone. It was a vampire who used magic, and it was quite strong, so Shi-hyun had a hard time. Plus, it was smart, so it kept checking me and Shi-a behind me, which injured Shi-hyun. "Shi-hyun!" The blood sword spewed from the vampire's hand pierced Shi-hyun's side. "Keup." Shi-hyun gritted her teeth and grabbed the vampire's hand to prevent it from escaping. "I won't let go until you die!" Shi-hyun mercilessly pounded the boss's head and body with her other hand. The vampire's body was clearly being destroyed, but it didn't die. The blood that had splattered around gathered again to form a body, as if time had been rewound. Kieeeeeek! Still, it seemed to hurt, as the vampire screamed. Shi-hyun, whether she was intoxicated by violence or to forget the pain, became even more frenzied and threw punches. After pounding it dozens of times, the regeneration speed gradually slowed down. Is it finally coming to an end? Just when I was relieved, the vampire tore off the grabbed arm and ran away. "Tuh, do you think you can escape?" Shi-hyun spat out blood-mixed saliva and exploded the arm held in her left hand with magic. The vampire, whose regeneration power had weakened, could not regenerate its arm and glared at Shi-hyun, grinding its teeth. Once the initiative was completely taken over, Shi-hyun's unilateral offensive continued, and the vampire couldn't withstand it. "Yo, you worked hard." Shi-hyun was covered in blood all over her body, so she looked quite scary. "Ah, you're not hurt, are you?" I don't know if Shi-hyun is hurt because she's covered in blood. "I can handle it." There must be an injury on her side. "Shi-a, take out all the water you have and prepare the bandages too!" I had to take temporary measures, even if it was just temporary. "We can get out soon." "You'll get infected." Shi-hyun didn't resist my words and just collapsed on the floor. I poured the water I received from Shi-a everywhere. I washed off some of the blood. Still, I wiped off what wouldn't come off by using all the towels, tissues, and tissues. There was a wound on her side where she was stabbed by the vampire, and blood was slowly coming out. "Tsk tsk, you should be more careful." My heart ached at the fact that it was all because of us. I know that she chose that method to quickly settle things because if the vampire roamed freely, we would be in danger. When I poured disinfectant on the wound, Shi-hyun screamed in pain. "Ack!" "Does it hurt? My heart aches too when I see you hurt." Shi-hyun tried hard to change her expression after hearing my words, but it seemed difficult. I put gauze on the wound and wrapped bandages around it tightly. "Let's get out quickly and go to the hospital." Anyway, I only intended to go up to the third district from the beginning. "Okay." "Dad, are you really okay?" Shi-hyun's eyebrows twitched in pain, but she tried to pretend to be okay and not worry us. "Let's get out of here quickly instead of doing this." After roughly packing our things, we activated the crystal ball in the center of the room.
