Chapter 367
A dragon soaring towards the ground.
I glanced at the hole in the ground through which the dragon had penetrated, then approached Marco, who was quietly backing away.
“I won’t let you run away.”
Without the dragon’s protection, Marco is just an ordinary 6th circle mage.
The current Marco had no countermeasures.
I grabbed Marco’s back as it was and bound him with magic.
“Let go, let go! This is a fucking baby! know who i am… … !”
“Who are you? He is a 3rd class 6th circle wizard with no talent or effort.”
“… … what?”
Marco was dumbfounded for a moment.
It must be that you didn’t understand my words for a moment.
“this… … baby… … .”
Then, as if he understood my words, he gnashed his teeth with a blushing face.
“You just hate that expression? Shall I mistake the performance of my subordinates for my own and call him a typical idiot who thinks he is great?”
Marco’s gaze was filled with life.
“This dog-like bastard… … . kill… … . You will surely kill me no matter what!”
A chilling premonition of murder.
His expression and words were supposed to be scary, but when Marco said it, it was funny rather than scary.
“yes. I’m looking forward to it. Kill them whenever you get a chance.”
“You’ll definitely tear me to pieces… … !”
As if his patience had been completely cut, Marco shouted loudly.
“Long sentences are emissary. Anyway, I don’t have that kind of leeway.”
I cut off Marco’s words and headed to the ground, following the hole in the ground that the dragon had passed through.
“Big!”
Marco groaned in a panicked voice.
I flew up at the highest speed without any protection for Marco.
He must have had no choice but to keep his mouth shut due to the enormous air resistance.
“Forgive me for being late.”
Colleagues, including his father, were waiting near the open ground.
I approached the three and threw them to the ground like throwing Marco.
“Cuck!”
Marco let out a groan in pain, probably throwing it too hard.
It sounded like a bit of a broken bone.
Well, I wish I was alive.
“I will ask him. Please tie me up so I don’t die.”
Without looking at my comrades, I looked up at the sky.
A dragon roaming the sky.
My eyes were only on the dragon.
“Do you need any support?”
Sunchan.
No, this tone is Aslan-nim, who occupies Soon-chan’s body.
“Looking at the circumstances, it seems that the dragon has already escaped this guy’s control. Without a shield, it would be difficult for you alone.”
Just as Aslan-nim said, the dragon got out of Marco’s control and became free.
Now, the book that uses Marco to block the dragon’s actions cannot be used.
I am now in a position where I have to face the dragon 1:1.
And I can’t beat a dragon 1:1.
“it’s okay.”
However, that was just a story from before.
If it’s the current red dragon, even 1:1 is enough to win.
“The match has already been won.”
After that, I slowly flew up to the sky.
The dragon that was roaming the sky in a circle stopped in the air as if facing me.
“The reason you didn’t run away is because you already know what your future holds?”
It shakes its clogged wings with difficulty, glares at me while flying in place.
“Or were you waiting because you had something to say to me?”
The red dragon’s eyes were clearly shining with its own will.
It’s a stark difference from the doll-like eyes that lost their intelligence from earlier.
The red dragon in front of me was already aware of who it was.
‘It is true.’
Then, a voice came directly into my head.
telepathy.
It must be the magic that the dragon used.
‘You are a mysterious mortal. There is something I want to ask you.’
mysterious mortal.
It was literally a mysterious title.
A mortal is someone who will surely die. In other words, it must mean a human being who has a lifespan.
What do you mean by mysterious?
‘Your magical roots are similar to our magical system. Just like breathing doesn’t require calculation. The power to naturally handle mana and magic. The power of deliberation.’
Bi-tenoric rudiments passed through the dragon’s mouth into my brain.
Even the name is the same.
I thought there were many similarities with dragon magic. After all, it seems that the bi-tenor style was invented by the magic of the dragon.
“How did you learn this magic? Are you curious about that?”
I hit the ball ahead of time.
Judging from the flow of words, I wonder if this is what I’m curious about.
‘no. Not like that.’
It wasn’t.
‘It’s amazing that mortals have mastered our magic system. It’s not a mysterious thing. What I’m curious about is not how they learned our magic system.’
Bright light flowed from the eyes that were split up and down, a characteristic of dragons.
‘What I’m curious about is the alien power that forms part of the magic system you are learning.’
… … alien force?
‘Surely the structure of your magic is similar to ours. 85% is our magic.’
The dragon’s voice stopped for a moment.
The movement of the wings also slowed down a bit.
It seems that I have reached the limit.
‘However, 15% is a completely different power. An unknown power different from ours. Never seen by gods or demons. Mysterious yet… … .’
The dragon’s eyes, which had been standing out, slowly began to darken.
Awesome. Awesome.
As if falling asleep right now, I blink my eyes.
‘A reluctant power.’
It’s reluctant.
The anxiety of the red dragon implied in those words came directly to my brain.
‘… … okay.’
The red dragon closed its eyes and murmured to itself as if it had understood something.
‘That look. You don’t seem to know the details either.’
From my expression, he seems to have inferred my answer.
‘Then the magic you deal with is not magic you created.’
I made no reply. I didn’t know if it was right to answer the truth here, so I just kept silent.
‘As expected.’
However, silence seems to have been a sufficient answer for the red dragon.
‘Then, is that odious power a sin committed by the creator of the magic?’
“… … crime?”
crime.
Another ominous keyword popped up.
“What do you mean sin?”
Even so, I couldn’t ignore that keyword.
I inquired about the meaning of sin in detail.
‘Sin is… … .’
At that time, the red dragon’s body began to disintegrate.
Just like the land of drought.
The body split apart and began to disintegrate.
‘It’s about time. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll have time to explain it.’
Beyond the rapidly disintegrating red scales, blue scales are visible.
It was completely different from the red dragon’s colorful and lofty colored scales.
turbid and dull scales.
Probably Drake’s scales.
‘I’m a mysterious mortal.’
The red dragon’s body turns to dust and scatters.
The red dragon, half of its body disappeared in an instant, called me.
‘With a warning, I will do one favor.’
Feelings such as curiosity and anxiety completely disappeared, giving way to serious eyes.
‘Those who put my soul into the body of this inferior species have the souls of dozens of compatriots besides me.’
My eyes widened like rabbits.
‘So please be careful. It won’t be like this next time.’
like this time
I’m talking about how I used Marco to pressure the red dragon.
Although he lost his will, he seems to remember the course of the battle.
‘And I’ll ask.’
A red dragon with only half of its face left.
At least he stares at me with one intact eye.
‘Please send my compatriots safely to Mana’s side.’
At that time, the red dragon’s body shone.
No, not the body, but the soul shone.
‘This… … It’s an advance payment.’
Glow counterbalance.
Last sparkle before dying.
The red dragon’s soul burned brightly for the last time, containing unspoken wishes and wishes.
‘Because of your temper, you won’t be able to refuse an advance payment.’
Not stopping there, the light shone even brighter.
As if this is really the end.
The red dragon’s soul shone with the colors of love and sacrifice.
and the next moment.
“What do you mean by advance payment? … .”
Flash-!
The light is concentrated at one point.
“Big!”
It started flowing into my body.
‘Please don’t. I’m a mysterious mortal.’
A tremendous pang hit my body.
“Heir!”
At the end of Mimir’s urgent voice, my consciousness was cut off.
* * *
Shin Ha-yul’s body, which began to fall free after losing consciousness, was picked up by Shin In-hyeok.
After that, I quickly returned to the original place, put Shin Ha-yul down and checked his body condition.
“Fortunately, there is nothing wrong with my body.”
Adela let out a sigh of relief. She suddenly lost her mind and crashed, so she was worried she might be seriously injured.
Fortunately, that doesn’t seem to be the case.
Shin Ha-yul’s body was perfectly fine.
If there’s a little problem, it’s just that mana is a little unstable.
This isn’t too serious either.
It was also after a fierce battle, and it was normal enough.
“… … It looks fine.”
Shin In-hyuk also let out a sigh of relief belatedly.
Since Shin In-hyeok does not have a separate magic eye, it is impossible to accurately grasp Shin Ha-yul’s physical condition, but Shin In-hyeok has experience that Adela does not have.
It is possible enough to grasp the condition of the injured.
“There is no problem with this either. I just fell asleep with choker overload.”
Adela, who finished checking Shin Ha-yul’s condition a step ahead, looked at Ji Sun-chan’s condition lying on the other side.
Unlike Shin Ha-yul, who is frowning, Ji Soon-chan is sleeping soundly with a peaceful expression on his face.
This one just fell asleep exhausted from synchronizing with Aslan, nothing more and nothing less.
It sounds like you don’t have to worry about this at all.
“Mimir. What happened?”
Elena, who had been using synchronization to support Adela, released her synchronization and looked at Mimir.
“Mimir?”
Mimir did not answer.
He is lost in his own world with a serious expression on his face.
“Mimir.”
third call.
“… … uh? me? did you call?”
Only then did Mimir come to his senses.
“yes. I called three times.”
“why?”
“I asked what happened.”
“ah… … .”
Mimir paused for a moment.
Come to think of it, people here don’t know the details.
He murmured very quietly, and was lost in thought for a moment.
‘… … Where do I start?’
In fact, even Mimir doesn’t know the details of the current state of the servant.
What I do know is that the red dragon did something and left something behind for Shin Ha-yul.
That’s it.
It is by no means a difficult situation to explain.
‘Can I tell you this?’
But the problem is not easy to explain and difficult to explain.
The question is, can I explain all of this truthfully?
‘By-tenor sins. And the possibility of reviving dozens of dragons… … . Can I say this at my own discretion without the successor’s consent?’
Since information is information, it is quite burdensome to process work only with one’s own judgment.
Mimir, who morbidly hates causing trouble to his servant, had no choice but to worry more.
“… … Did you absorb the dragon’s mana?”
At that time, words that penetrated the root of this situation came out of Adela’s mouth.
Mimir stared at Adela with a startled expression.
“As expected.”
A reaction that seems to be positive no matter who sees it.
Adela nodded her head in agreement.
“… … How do you know?”
Mimir asked in a low voice.
“These days, since we’ve been training together, Ha-yul’s mana is second to none. so… … .”
“The heterogeneous mana that permeates the mana of the heir… … Could you notice the dragon’s mana?”
“yes.”
“… … .”
Mimir swallowed his surprise.
‘… … He’s gradually becoming a monster.’
To be able to capture such a weak mana so clearly that even he, who is in sync with Shin Ha-yul and mana, cannot feel it.
It was literally a monstrous feeling.
“Did you absorb the dragon’s mana?”
Shin In-hyeok’s expression became distorted. Absorbing the mana of that ferocious dragon never sounded good.
“Isn’t that dangerous?”
“You don’t have to worry about that.”
said Mimir.
“I don’t know if mana flowed in accidentally. Because the dragon handed over mana to his successor of his own will.”
“… … A dragon of its own will?”
“uh.”
As long as Adela had already spoken about the dragon’s mana.
There is no need to spare words.
Mimir told the truth about what had just happened.
“hmm. So, to explain in turn… … .”
Of course, I ruled out all the talk about the bi-tenor style.
This is something you shouldn’t do to anyone.
“Well, that’s how it turned out.”
An explanation of about two minutes follows.
The inevitable silence that followed.
“in other words… … .”
Breaking the silence, Shin In-hyeok spoke slowly.
“That monstrous dragon… … You may have to deal with dozens more. Is this what you mean?”
“that’s right.”
The dragon’s menace is not yet over.
