"There's a panel over there! Q-quick, get in!"
"This panel is a 4! Kill one person!"
"Die, die! Hurry up and die!"
"Keheuk...!?"
Looking around, I could see the figures of Prophets running around in confusion, searching for the numbered panels.
"Pathetic....."
I truly felt they were pathetic and moved a little further away from the Lesser Dragon Ignir.
[5th-grade Fire Dragon Species, Lesser Dragon Ignir, uses Flames of Destruction.]
"Zadkiel!!"
Just as the Flames of Destruction were fired, a wall of ice rose up to protect me.
Shooooooo!!!!!!
Fierce flames rushed to swallow me whole, but the ice wall steadfastly protected me.
[Exclusive skill 'Zadkiel Lv. 4' blocks the Flames of Destruction.]
I lightly jumped over the nearly melted ice wall, which had blocked the Flames of Destruction, and took out the E.G.O Bullet.
"E.G.O Bullet, Second Bullet, Inevitable Bullet!!"
The Second Bullet, wrapped in blue magical power, struck the creature's eye perfectly.
"Kwaaaaaaaang!!!!"
Seeing the Lesser Dragon thrashing in agony after its eye was blown away in an instant, I summoned 'Sandalphon' in my other hand and began wildly slashing at the Lesser Dragon with dual-wielding.
[5th-grade Fire Dragon Species, Lesser Dragon Ignir, uses Flames of Destruction.]
I immediately entered a nearby panel marked with a '1' and wrapped the area around the panel with Zadkiel.
"Kkuaaaak!!!"
As the sound of Prophets burning to death came from outside the ice wall, I quietly offered them my condolences.
[A penalty occurs for the hidden piece.]
[From the next turn, the number of panels generated will decrease.]
Before I knew it, the number of remaining Prophets had been reduced to about a quarter, and the party members were still barely hanging on.
Calmly observing this scene, I sliced the Lesser Dragon Ignir's hind leg and stepped back. At that moment, Kim Dokja, who was standing over there, shouted.
"If you really read the revelation, then you all must know the answer too, right?"
"!! Get Yoo Joonghyuk!"
Following the shout of the 5th Apostle, Kim Dokja ran towards the Lesser Dragon Ignir, which was preparing its Flames of Destruction, and the Apostles chasing him ran after him.
[5th-grade Fire Dragon Species, Lesser Dragon Ignir, uses Flames of Destruction.]
The Apostles were the first to be burned to death by Ignir's Flames of Destruction, which were fired directly at them. The Flames of Destruction then engulfed Kim Dokja.
"You should have been more careful. You only get one life."
Shooooooo
Amidst the party's screams, Kim Dokja vanished into the Flames of Destruction. Once the flames passed, only Kim Dokja's Chungmuro Station godly socks and 'Unbreakable Faith' remained in that spot.
And around it, five indigo-blue beads, Cheongbinhwan, that the Apostles—who had died without even leaving ashes—had been consuming, lay scattered.
[Activating skill 'Sprint Lv. 1'.]
I immediately sprinted, gathered all the scattered Cheongbinhwan, and poured them into my mouth.
[You have consumed Cheongbinhwan.]
[The Ice Attribute is temporarily unlocked.]
[200% Ice Attribute damage is added.]
[Ice Attribute damage is doubled due to skill 'Zadkiel'.]
[A total of 400% Ice Attribute damage has been added.]
[A chill that seems to freeze your heart envelops your entire body.]
A powerful cold energy that could freeze everything just by standing erupted. Startled by this cold, the Lesser Dragon Ignir retreated backwards.
"Hoh~"
Crackleeeeeeeee!!!!!!
Just exhaling caused powerful cold energy to burst forth, instantly freezing the Lesser Dragon's legs and wings.
"Hey....lizard.....do you know what freezing to death is? No, it doesn't matter if you don't know.... You'll experience it firsthand soon enough..."
[Activating exclusive skill 'Zadkiel Lv. 4'.]
[Activating exclusive skill 'Will of the Sword Lv. 1'.]
[400% Ice Attribute is added to exclusive skill 'Will of the Sword'.]
"Go...."
At my command, three swords flew forth, piercing the Lesser Dragon Ignir's abdomen, neck, and back. From those points, the Lesser Dragon Ignir's entire body began to freeze at a rapid pace.
"Kwaaaaaaaang!!!!"
[5th-grade Fire Dragon Species, Lesser Dragon Ignir, uses Flames of Destruction.]
As a final resistance, the creature used Flames of Destruction on me, and the flames rushed to swallow me whole.
"Is that it? How boring.... Well then"
[Activating skill 'Zadkiel Lv. 4'.]
"Just die now."
A rapidly swirling blizzard swallowed Ignir's Flames of Destruction and then proceeded to swallow Ignir itself.
"Kwa..a..a..a...."
With that final death cry, the Lesser Dragon Ignir breathed its last.
[You are the first to subjugate the sub-calamity, 'Lesser Dragon Ignir'.]
[You are the first to contribute to clearing the fifth scenario.]
[You have achieved an impossible feat.]
[Calculating rewards will take time due to achieving an impossible feat.]
[Some lower-grade dokkaebis have requested the Bureau to judge the probability suitability.]
Messages from Constellations also appeared in succession.
[Constellation, 'Secretive Plotter', quietly watches the Fire Dragon you killed.]
[Constellation, 'Prisoner of the Golden Headband', sneers while looking at the Fire Dragon frozen solid.]
[Constellation, 'Demon-like Judge of Fire', praises your courage for avenging your dead companion!]
[Constellation, 'Black Flame Dragon of the Abyss', is furious, asking how a Fire Dragon could die so shamefully, frozen solid.]
.....(omitted).....
[You have received a total sponsorship of 23,000 coins.]
Watching the messages that kept appearing, I quietly stretched out my hand.

[Will you accept?]
[YES/NO]
"YES"
[Accepted.]

[Success.]
[You have acquired the SSS-grade skill 'Black Dragon's Flame'.]
[Black Dragon's Flame]: A flame of the Black Dragon that swallows everything. Its destructive power is incomparable to that of 1st or 2nd-grade Dragon Species.
Having taken everything I could from the Lesser Dragon, I immediately took out a magic stove and began cooking.
[Activating skill 'God's Cook Lv. 1'.]
My swiftly moving hands skillfully began cooking. Before I knew it, looking at the completed dragon meat skewers, I ate one.
"Wow~ This is....tastiness....its very essence...."
It was so fantastically delicious, impossible to describe with any words—it was the very essence of tastiness.
[Many Constellations swallow their saliva while watching your meat-eating broadcast.]
[Constellation, 'Demon-like Judge of Fire', says she got hungry for no reason and holds her starving stomach.]
[Constellation, 'Prisoner of the Golden Headband', covets your meat.]
[Constellation, 'Black Flame Dragon of the Abyss', is horrified, asking how you can eat a dragon.]
[Constellation, 'Secretive Plotter', closely observes your cooking.]
[Constellations who love cooking explore your dish.]
[You have received a sponsorship of 3,300 coins.]
At that moment, Jung Heewon, who had been watching me eat the dragon meat skewer, angrily approached quickly and shouted at me.
"Yuseong-ssi! How can you eat meat even though Dokja-ssi died!?"
Looking at Jung Heewon, whose expression showed she couldn't understand my actions, I looked at the party members behind her. They all wore the same expression as her.
'Ah! I didn't explain to the party members....'
Only then did I remember that I hadn't told them Kim Dokja would come back to life soon due to his trait: 'King of No Killing'. Scratching my head, I wondered how to explain when—
Fzzzzt
At that moment, sparks flew in the air, and the naked body of Kim Dokja slowly formed.
"""".....Huh?""""
"Huh?"
As Kim Dokja came back to life, in the atmosphere that instantly became awkward, I silently continued eating the meat.
"Dragons are delicious..."
[Trait: 'Gourmet Cells' nods.]
[Constellation 'Black Flame Dragon of the Abyss' shouts that dragons are not for eating.]
