[Illusion: Bahamut]
Description: Allows you to create an illusion of the platinum dragon Bahamut. The appearance of the legendary leader of the metal dragons makes it impossible for ordinary monsters to look up.
But be careful, attacks will pass through illusions, and the attack of the illusion is also an illusion. When the target realizes that Bahamut’s attack do not work on them, Bahamut’s illusion will disappear as well. After that, all that remains is the fierce anger of those deceived!
This is a gift and test from Bahamut to his family….
Effect: Summon and control the illusion of Bahamut
Mana: 800
Duration: 1 hour or when an attack passes through the illusion
(When canceled by detection, nearby monster’s stats increase by 100%)
Cooldown: 24 hours
“I will send our men. After the ceremony, you will be on our side too. You know very well what would happen to Gaza City if you fight back.”
Just as Faust opened his mouth, Leeha remembered that skill. It was what he gained after becoming a part of Bahamut’s family.
It was a skill that could summon his illusion!
‘There’s no grade and level? Is it telling me to use it as it is? Besides, the explanation is feeble…… What kind of gift is this…?’
However, Leeha did not have the luxury to complain.
Soon, Faust would send a member of Czar, and Leeha was in a situation where he needed to make a forced choice.
To avoid that, he had to use the skill.
‘The illusion cannot attack…. Additionally, the illusion will disappear if it gets attacked.’
In other words, if he can’t get rid of all the enemies with just one illusion, the stats of the monsters will rise.
Could it be said that it was fortunate that it didn’t apply to users? However, there were already too many monsters around to be relieved.
‘The chimeras and Faust’s summons will become stronger. Damn it!! If only the illusion could use Bahamut’s breath- no, breath?’
Leeha’s mind started to spin.
In any case, it meant that if illusion didn’t get attacked, Leeha wouldn’t be caught! In other words, didn’t that mean that they could not distinguish attacks by appearance?
If that’s the case? Could they be tricked?
Step, step, step!
A member of Czar had already started approaching Leeha. There was no room to think any longer. As soon as the skill was cast, Leeha’s crystal ball was activated.
‘Hallucination: Bahamut. And crystal ball……. To Bottleneck’s Smithy.’
Hwaaaa……!
‘After summoning, look at the golem and Faust and threaten them to leave. However, don’t attack!’
By the time Leeha finished the command, Bahamut’s huge body floated in the sky.
“Oh, wh-what is that?! I would have told you what would happen if you bastard fought-”
Flap, flap-!
When they heard the flapping wings, and everyone’s eyes turned to the dragon, Leeha had already disappeared from Gaza City.
With Bahamut, which filled the sky of Gaza City, in front of them, no user focused their attention on Leeha, who was less than the size of Bahamut’s foot.
“Bottleneck-ssi! Bottleneck-ssi!”
“W-what?”
Bottleneck, who was hammering, stopped his hand and stared blankly at Leeha. Leeha ran into the Bottleneck smithy in a hurry.
“Hu, I got lucky! I was nervous thinking that you moved back to Hell’s Anvil.”
“It’s because the elder’s meeting hasn’t concluded- where are you going? This guy! Do you think this is your house?”
“Please stop! Where’s the stuff? What I asked you to make!”
Bottleneck quickly put down his equipment and ran to Leeha, but Leeha shook off even Bottleneck’s hands and rummaged through the forge.
“Ah, I found it! It’s this, right?”
And finally, Leeha grabbed the object carefully hanging on the
rack in the corner without hesitation. “Not yet! I mean, the deadline isn’t over yet, and if you carry it around, you might get in trouble-”
“I don’t have the time to argue right now! Anyway, thanks, I will tell you what’s lacking after testing it, so please fix it then!”
“Hey, you son of a bitch! A complicated thing like that will explode once you touch it incorrectly-”
“Summon!”
[Appear]

Effect: Move to your partner’s location
Mana: 150

Syaaaaaat-!
Leeha’s body disappeared in an instant. Bottleneck’s body stumbled and fell to the floor as he tried to grab a hold of Leeha and take back the item.
“-……. You fool!”
“What is it, boss?!”
“Are you okay?”
The Beard brothers stopped working at the sudden uproar and ran, but they couldn’t figure out what was going on.
“……He’s a damned bastard anyway.”
Bottleneck, who had been lying on his back as he fell, grumbled quietly.
[Kyuu! Kyu!]
“Uwah! Blaugrun-ssi! I know you’re happy to see me,
but I’m busy right now, so wait a minute!”
Leeha appeared in Gaza City again, not far from where he was earlier. Blaugrun, whom Leeha had told to hide in a safe place at the beginning of the battle, was there.
As soon as he saw Leeha, Blaugrun rubbed his soft scales, but Leeha didn’t have the time to enjoy it.
‘Yeah, the best strategy is to leave it as it is, but Faust is also a ranker. I should be glad that it’s not too late.’
Bahamut flapped his huge wings in the air, and the soldiers of the Demon King’s army glared at Bahamut.
It was the best-case scenario to get them out only with Bahamut’s threat, but the situation did not happen according to Leeha’s wishes.
‘Okay, get down slowly. Get down to the floor with a loud scream.’
[Are you sure you don’t want to leave?! Will you back off only after tasting fire!]
When Leeha’s new command was entered, Bahamut began to move according to instruction.
Flap—–F-lap—–!
After Bahamut landed on the ground with just a couple of flaps of his wings, Leeha ran at full speed.
‘Udadadada-! I can’t be late! Now prepare to release your breath!’
Together with Blaugrun, they rushed out from the corner of the building and disappeared into Bahamut’s illusion. No one found out.
At the same time, Leeha uttered
a new command.
‘Target the chimera with the breath!’
“Bone-”
[Huuuul-!]
It was at that time that Faust tried to cast a spell to distinguish between illusion and reality.
Digging in between Faust’s casting, Bahamut, who had landed on the floor, took a big breath and spat it out again.
The illusion breathed into the alley where the chimera was!
Inside Bahamut’s illusion, Leeha looked outside with a translucent feeling.
In line with the illusion of Bahamut’s actions, Leeha took out the item he had brought from Bottleneck’s smithy and held it.
As soon as Blaugrun saw it, he flapped his wings and slapped Leeha’s cheek.
[Kyuu! Kyuuuu, kyuu!]
It looked like a vacuum cleaner. There was a body, hose, and spout.
But it wasn’t a vacuum cleaner. It was much smaller in size, but its value was unimaginable in Middle Earth.
The outer skin of the body, hose, and snout were also not ordinary metal.
It was made of Orichalcum, a metal with the ability to control mana. A soft light shone across the surface of the orichalcum.
“Shh! I know, I’m sorry for using it without permission, please forgive me!”
Leeha could fully understand why his partner was making a fuss.
What made the surface of orichalcum shine? It was because the thing in the small pocket was Blaugrun’s ‘dragon heart’.
[Kyuu, Kyuuu- kyu]
By the time Blaugrun rushed towards Leeha, Bahamut’s illusion finally opened its mouth.
While paying attention to the bronze dragon hatchling that messed his hair, Leeha didn’t miss the timing.
‘Goooooo-!’
Bahamut’s mouth and the muzzle pointed in the same direction. Leeha pulled the trigger at the same time the illusion opened its mouth, click!
[Hwaaaaa————!]
Leeha pulled the trigger and the orichalcum door opened.
Hidden within it is a dragon heart that continuously sucked mana, and that was also the dragon heart containing the mana that made the dragon’s breath.
At the same time as the mana was released, the bronze dragon’s scales, bzzzt-, created energy.
Normally, the breath energy generated from the dragon scale and mana should be mixed to emit a perfect brain breath.
However, it cannot be completed with only one scale!
One by one the scales clicked and responded to the dragon heart’s mana and sent out sparks!
‘But this is exactly what I wanted!’
What Leeha wanted was the spark.
There was a dragon scale that acted as a spark plug, and there was the dragon heart mana that acted as a combustible agent.
What would the effect be if those two things come together? Will it come true as he thought?
Leeha thought about Bottleneck and put his hand on the item.
It was now time to check if the thing that Bottleneck was worried about would appear.
Puwaaaaaah
——
Bright yellow flames erupted from Bahamut’s mouth.
This was what Leeha wanted from the moment he first saw the chimera. The devil’s weapon, which was completely conceived after receiving the items from Blaugrun, had a lethal effect that was beyond Leeha’s expectations
“Grrrrrr!”
“Grrrrrrrr!”
Chimeras were weak to fire. Tssss, the chimeras burned with unpleasant sound effects and smoke.
‘There’s no explosion. I might get caught up. But I can’t scroll every time.’
Then how can someone who is not even a wizard breathe fire?
The answer was this.
“Everyone! Retreaaaaaaat!”
Faust and the Demon King’s soldiers had no choice but to run away.
While watching the first [Flame Thrower] in Middle Earth, the effect was proven.
[Heroic Flamethrower with ‘Blaugrun’s Heart’](27%)>
Damage: 3,000/second
Range: 70m
Duration: 100 seconds at full dragon heart.
Requirement: –
Description: ‘It’s a demonic weapon, there’s no greater pain than caustic pain…… A weapon made by the Blacksmith Bottleneck using the heart and scales of the adult dragon Blaugrun.
It converted breath energy into an ignition source and used that mana as a combustion agent to emit fire. Even if Leeha used it until the duration ended, the dragon heart would automatically be recharged.
Along with the golem, all of the demon king’s army minions disappeared. Leeha scattered the remaining flames at the few remaining chimeras.
In front of the unbelievable damage of 3,000 per second, and in front of the fire-type attack that is incompatible with chimera, gibrid’s toys could no longer hold out and turned gray into black.
Rip—— rip—–!
Shyuuuu, shyuuu!
When Leeha removed his finger from the trigger, the flame that had been rekindled intermittently, gradually disappeared.
The flame that leaked out gradually faded.
“Huhaaaa…… I barely made it.”
Barely enduring that he that his legs that his legs are about to give up.
However, it wasn’t over.
They were only forced to retreat by using the new weapon that used a dragon heart and the new skill obtained from Bahamut.
