Chapter 361
Florence is located southeast of Milan, Italy.
One of the strongholds of the mafia spread all over Italy.
Since it was built in the huge city of Florence, three men were drinking on the top floor of a high-rise building that boasted a pretty grand appearance.
“Ha ha ha ha! Come on, drink it all at once. If I don’t drink on days like today, when will I drink again!”
muscular giants.
The Destroyer gulped down the whiskey in a goblet taller than his head, befitting his size.
“… … Do you feel the taste when you drink it like that?”
A man with a dark aura of a zombie-like complexion.
Roper, the leader of Anti Magia, frowned.
The expression that he didn’t like the Destroyer drinking like water next to him.
How can you drink that expensive drink without any inspiration?
That’s an insult to alcohol.
“then! feel it! Is it whiskey?”
Destroyer laughed heartily and filled an empty glass with alcohol.
Looking at the label that is peeking out, there is a heavenly certification mark stamped on it.
It is a high-end product that easily costs billions of dollars, and it is a rare product with less than 10 bottles left in the world.
“Haha! nice.”
He gulps down that kind of alcohol as if he were drinking any kind of beer.
It was only natural that Roper, a lover of beer, frowned.
“Originally, the way to drink alcohol is different. Let’s enjoy it in our own way.”
A man who is the head of the mafia gangsters and now the actual owner of the mafia. Marco.
he raised his glass
“Ha ha ha. That makes sense.”
Destroyer drank alcohol in an instant, and took out another drink prepared next to him.
This time it was wine.
Destroyer lightly opened the stopper using magic, and drank the wine as it was.
“Big. nice.”
I don’t like wine very much, but maybe it’s because it’s an expensive wine, so it tastes pretty good.
“That wine like that… … .”
Roper’s expression crumpled to the point where there was nothing more.
As a drinker and wine lover, I can’t stand drinking that wine like that.
“now. loafers. calm down. Drink like that anyway. Now we can have it whenever we want.”
Marco calmed Roper.
Keep your palms down, wave them up and down, and make a calming gesture.
“… … There is a limit to the number of good drinks. It is not something you can get indefinitely.”
The birth of good sake requires ‘time’.
Finding a drink like that is as difficult as picking stars from the sky.
“don’t worry. After all, the world is in our hands. If you search the whole world, you can get hundreds or thousands of booze like that.”
Marco is right.
The world is already in their hands.
drink that much. can be obtained at any time.
“Even so, I can’t stand the insults to alcohol like that.”
Apart from what can be obtained.
Destroyer’s atrocities can’t bear to watch.
That’s an insult to alcohol.
“It’s because you calm down.”
Marco got up and dried his loafers.
Quite a puzzled look.
‘I never thought loafers would cause trouble.’
If there’s a problem, I’m pretty sure it’s the Destroyer’s side.
I didn’t know that Roper would fight first.
‘… … no. Is the drink nominal?’
It didn’t seem like he was that angry that he couldn’t stand it.
That expression is that of something scheming.
‘That seems right. I will use alcohol as an excuse to kill Destroyer’s spirit. This is it.’
Alcohol is just an excuse.
The real purpose is to keep Destroyer in check.
By arguing with Destroyer and causing a fight. He seems to be a ruse to stand on top of Destroyer.
‘I’m worried about the future… … . It’s already like this.’
It was when Marco let out a sigh and tried to talk to Roper again.
kurrrrr… … .
I heard a dragon growl behind me.
The sound made the three men stop moving at the same time.
“Looks like digestion is over already.”
Roper’s expression, which had been disheveled until just now, regained his composure at once.
“Hmm. A monster means a monster. To digest all those magic stones already.”
Destroyer’s expression was no different from Roper’s.
A face that has lost its smile.
It became a cold expression, as if he had been drunk.
“So, are you able to move again now?”
The dragon recovery technology that Marco perfected through Chimera research is not perfect.
If the conditions are met, it is possible to reproduce the power of the mythical dragon at a level close to 100%.
If the conditions are not met, it cannot move properly.
“okay. It’s still not in perfect condition because I don’t have enough magic stones. Moving is not a problem.”
That condition is none other than Magic Stone.
It was a vast amount of magic stones enough to maintain the dragon’s power.
Since it is a monster realized using the soul, it does not have an organ that can make mana like other monsters, so supplementation of magic stones is indispensable.
“Oh, of course, the two of them have to do the final setting before that, but I mean.”
However, it is not enough to just feed the magic stone.
It is necessary to ‘convert’ the magic stone into the dragon’s energy source.
“loafers. Please.”
And that transformation is only possible with loafers.
“yes. I will go.”
Perhaps because he always had Anti Magia, he had the power to freely transform mana.
If he doesn’t transform the magic stone inside the dragon to match the dragon’s nature, the dragon can’t move.
Roper placed his hand on the stomach of the dragon, where the digested manastone was located, and moved the mana.
Mana stones with different properties were concentrated into one mana under Roper’s control.
“It’s done.”
It took only one minute for Roper to convert mana.
Considering the amount of mana that would have been enough for 20 decent S-rank monsters, the speed made no sense.
“Hmm. I covet it every time I see it.”
Destroyer’s eyes lit up.
That mana control ability is coveted every time I see it.
“If I had that ability, I could have taken the world without that lizard.”
Destroyer licked his lips and stood up.
“Originally, others say rice cakes look big.”
Returning to his seat, Roper made eye contact with Destroyer and hinted.
“From my point of view, your mana is much more coveted.”
“Heh. Well, it’s only natural that I covet my mana.”
The Destroyer laughed.
His expression asked, “Why are you saying something so obvious?”
oh oh oh oh-!
Then, the dragon roared again.
A roar full of murderous intent, different from the drool-like growl from before.
It was a bloody cry that seemed like it would run at any moment.
“Destroyer.”
Marco glared at the Destroyer with a sharp expression.
“Don’t nag. Because I will take care of it.”
Destroyer shrugged and slowly started walking towards the dragon.
“Certainly, the amount of mana has decreased a lot. Compared to 4 hours ago, it’s the difference between heaven and earth.”
The eyelids trembled as if they were about to open their eyes any moment.
Destroyer put his hand between the eyelids and between the dragon’s forehead.
“At this rate, I wouldn’t even need 30 seconds.”
The mana flowing from Destroyer’s right hand began to flow into the dragon’s body.
Destroyer.
An unmatched ferocious mana worthy of the name of destruction.
It began to shatter the mana in the dragon’s brain.
Cre… … .
Then, the dragon’s roar began to diminish.
Not only the murderous intent contained in the roar, but also the trembling of the eyelids completely stopped.
It was as if the doll, which had begun to regain its emotions, was losing its emotions again for some reason and was returning to being a doll.
“Destruction complete.”
The Destroyer removed his hand from the dragon and turned around with a hearty laugh.
“Like before, I only removed mana from the area you mentioned. how is it?”
“Perfect.”
After checking the tablet Marco had placed next to him, he clapped his hands.
“The numbers are perfect from one to ten. So beautiful.”
The dragon’s health chart floating within the tablet screen indicates that it is perfectly stable.
This was a figure that could never have been achieved if Destroyer had not completely destroyed the mana that affects the dragon’s self-consciousness using the mana of ‘destruction’.
“Don’t take compliments for granted. I’m perfect. It’s not even a day or two. Mmm ha ha!”
Destroyer raised his head and laughed.
It was a very pleasant look.
“anyway.”
Destroyer, who had been laughing for a long time, stopped laughing and turned his gaze to the dragon.
“One more room with this. It’s loaded.”
Cross your arms and lick your lips.
“okay. Where are you going to erase this time?”
“well.”
Marco grinned.
“I haven’t decided yet. There must be so many people who rebel against us.”
“Is there a place where you still haven’t come to your senses after seeing France?”
“many.”
Can I just give up that much?
There are countless countries that are still gritting their teeth.
“Hmm. Which country needs to be erased so that people will curl up and bow their heads.”
Marco’s smile deepened.
“Considering the ripple effect, the United States or Korea. I think one or the other would be fine.”
* * *
We were having a countermeasure meeting in the meeting room in the Madosinga’s residence.
“To think that the Red Dragon is under the control of the Mafia… … .”
“… … fuck. It sucks.”
Kim Kang-in, who had just arrived in Korea, and Director Charles, took turns expressing their impressions.
Both of them are wearing bandages all over their bodies, as if the wounds they received from confronting the red dragon in Milan were serious.
“Those dogs. How did you tame the dragon? no. How did you create the dragon?”
Captain Charles grumbled with an expression that he couldn’t even say anything because he was unfair.
“I heard that the research results obtained at the Rid Furniture Factory stated that it was virtually impossible to reproduce?”
“yes. It was written that way.”
“But how… … ! ugh… … .”
Captain Charles stopped shouting and grabbed his side.
The bandage he was wearing was dyed red.
It looks like the wound is bursting from too much heat.
“hound. Calm down. Getting angry won’t solve anything.”
My father, who had been quietly contemplating next to me, spoke for the first time.
Normally, you would have looked at the world’s emotional leader Charles with a pathetic expression.
Today, for some reason, I am full of worries.
“Do I look like I’m not angry? That monstrous monster became the property of those dog-like bastards. Fuck, real dog fuck!”
Captain Charles spat out curses over and over again.
“If I had moved a little faster, I might have been able to stop it… … .”
it would be disrespectful
Anti Magia, Destroyer, Mafia. As someone who was tasked with investigating the three organizations from an early age, you must feel a sense of responsibility for not being able to prevent today’s disaster.
“It’s not your responsibility, Captain. The captain did everything he could.”
“no. I couldn’t do it all. Even if I hadn’t waited there to see the liver… … .”
Captain Charles clenched his fists and hit the table hard.
No, I was trying to get down.
“I should have told you to calm down.”
If my father hadn’t stopped Captain Charles’ hand, that would have happened.
After my father took Captain Charles’ hand with the palm of his hand. He shook his hand as if shaking it off.
Captain Charles’ hand flew quickly to his knee.
“I told you! How can I not be angry at this situation! If you were in my situation… … .”
As if my father didn’t want to hear it, he frowned and moved Mana.
“The talk is not progressing because of you. to shut up for a bit.”
Silence.
Captain Charles’ voice completely disappeared.
Captain Charles, with an angry expression on his face, tried to move mana to break the silence.
“and. The current situation is not as bad as you think.”
Captain Charles’ movement stopped.
“… … A country perished Isn’t that a bad situation?”
I wonder if it’s okay to dissolve light magic even in the current state?
Captain Charles lifted the silence and recited with a cold expression.
“okay.”
My father turned his gaze to me.
next you say
It was a gaze with such meaning.
“I will explain further.”
I spoke straight away.
“My father was talking about the current situation in which the Red Dragon is under Mafia control.”
“… … The current situation where the monster is privately owned by the villains. Isn’t that a bad situation?”
“yes.”
“The switch for the nuclear bomb is in the hands of a villain, isn’t it a bad situation? why?”
“It’s for a simple reason.”
Everyone’s eyes were focused on me.
“To say that the red dragon is under their control. There is a high probability that the red dragon is in an incomplete state.”
I slowly began to explain the hypotheses that I had made based on the information I had obtained from watching and analyzing this situation.
