Episode 120
Episode 51. Everything Comes Back (3)
Kahel announced that the development of the wide-area protection magic that Yuma had ordered before had entered the final stage. Yuma promised to send another barrel of ogre blood.
After talking with Cahel some more, the group left the magic crystal field.
“You promise to get me things that can only be found in the imperial castle warehouse. It was a wide-area protection magic using ogre blood as a medium. Well, you developed such expensive magic.”
Zishka was riding on Hugo’s shoulder. Hugo walked slowly down the mountain path with an expressionless face. Unlike when they came, the party decided to go back leisurely.
“How will it be? There are no plans to wage war, but there are many useful uses.”
Hugo suddenly stopped walking.
“Yuma.”
“Yes, Mr. Hugo.”
“Do you know the name of the Marong who was sealed in Tejiz?”
“I don’t even know that. It’s because it was written in the plan that Godmother Zishka received.”
“I hope it’s not a dragon I know.”
“A familiar dragon is a strange expression. Could it have something to do with Hugo-sama’s dragon eye?”
I wanted to ask about Hugo’s face from before.
Yuma was very curious after hearing from Kriesha Inu at Inz Bikan that Hugo was the owner of the Dragon’s Eye.
No matter how powerful a grandmaster Hugo was, he was still human. It was difficult to understand that he had the unique ability of a dragon.
“Looks like that woman told me.”
“Who always said they wouldn’t allow concubines?”
Zishka joked.
“It is not a concubine. It is a blue dragon called Chrysa Ainu.”
“Ah, that dragon. By the way, you have a Hugo Dragon Eye?”
“Yes. The ability to heal you instantly is the power of the Dragon’s Eye.”
Natalie and Zishka again looked at Hugo and Yuma with their mouths wide open. What the hell happened to these things, why do you keep saying great things casually?
Natalie was particularly shocked.
After meeting Yuma, he went through a lot of different things. I met a lot of people who were so great that the owner of the rose society felt humble.
He had fought with an entity believed to be a demon, had thrown harsh words at the commander of the empire as if he were an incompetent uncle next door, and learned that it is possible to grow magic stones.
Well, even if you look at Yuma himself right now, he doesn’t beat Sellove alone, but the car he saved through Dokdo contains Pidgin Carta’s ghost and has dragon’s arms.
The friend I met from my hometown after coming here is also a genius of the century, only slightly inferior to Yuma. He made the imperial princess the godmother of the black wolf and used the empire’s archmage like a limb.
This time, it was a story about an ogre slayer who was the owner of the dragon’s eye. I wondered why he kept spitting out such bold stories without a hint.
“Oh, I was so crazy that I couldn’t even look! Because of the test you gave me, I’m on the verge of death. show me!”
Zishka’s eyes lit up. Natalie looked at him and smiled.
“agree. Show me, because I haven’t seen it either.”
Hugo glared at Yuma. It meant why he brought out the story of Yongan here. Yuma sighed and turned his head.
“…It is a power that is not good to see often.”
“Oh, I’m curious. Are you sure you are lying?”
“It’s not a lie.”
“But why don’t you show me? Let me and my godmother take a look.”
Jjiing! Red light radiated from Hugo’s eyes.
That was all.
“Ah what is it? Is this forgiveness?
It’s nothing!”
Zishka rested his elbow on Hugo’s head as if he had lost interest. It was the same with Natalie who was blushing.
“Iknow, right. The fact that Hugo-sama’s eyes are shining red is a bit scary, but it’s a bit scary.”
Hugo had never been treated like this since he was more than seven years old.
He was the kind of person who had sent one of the lowest members of the Worgs, who made fun of him even when he was seven years old, in one shot.
It was a really strange feeling.
“…Anyway, Yuma. It meant that if Tejiz’s demonic dragon was real, he hoped it wouldn’t be a dragon related to this Dragon’s Eye. That dragon’s name is Versis. It is a dragon that has fought with me before.”
It was a name I had never heard of before. Even during the Dragon Horse War, he had never heard of a dragon named Versis. Of course, Yuma did not know the names of all the dragons who participated in the Dragon Horse War.
“Why did you think that Madong sealed in Tejiz could be Versis?”
“Bercis is dead. If there is another dragon sealed in the human world, it is highly likely that it is a spirit descendant of Versis. It is a hybrid black dragon that we commonly call a demon dragon.”
“It would be nice if you could explain it more clearly.”
“If you cross the boundary, you will naturally know.”
‘Border’ was an expression that Hugo used on the day he first met Yuma. Yuma became curious about Hugo’s past.
Hugo was jogging again. Yuma decided not to ask any more. It was Hugo’s personality that when the time came, he would tell me first, even if he didn’t ask.
“How come all the guys we know are the best in the world?
One uses a sword made from demon dragon bones, and the other has demon dragon eyes.”
“Then you treat those nobles like the old men on the street.”
The two giggled and chased after Hugo.
As soon as he returned to the Worg headquarters, Hugo clapped his hands and gathered his men.
Karun threw arrows and daggers at Zishka even as they assembled.
Hugo snapped his fingers and lightly knocked them off.
Other members who heard Zishka’s story did not act like Karune.
Of course, there were many members who would try to kill Zishka whenever the opportunity presented itself.
But Zishka didn’t look at Karune. It was the same for Hugo and the rest of the members.
In any case, he was a human being who suffered incurable wounds because of the empire. Zishka was determined to accept the pain of her new family, even if she did not understand it.
“I will go to the Empire for a while starting tomorrow. For the disturbance of the disputed area of the Kingdom of Helga ten days later, let Chipen lead and Cagor support.”
Chippenn was the 5th assault captain of the Worgs. Kagor, the leader of the 3rd raid, had recently assassinated a key figure from the Kingdom of Helga, so there was a high risk that his face would be sold. That’s why Hugo gave command to Chippen.
“yes!”
The members answered in unison.
Hugo said that he would return to the empire, but he did not add the assumption that if I did not return…
It was on the way to negotiations to save the former rebel princess. It was only natural that a human who did such an arrogant thing would surely die.
However, Hugo himself and the members did not even imagine that Hugo would die in the imperial land.
absolutely invincible.
It is a title for superhumans such as Hugo and Duran and past grandmasters.
Every time Yuma saw him like this, he coveted the ripple effect of that title. How many deaths had he read before he came to this place after saving Zishka?
‘I hope I can have my training time when this matter is sorted out.’
He had to learn Sword Eye from Duran, and he had to sharpen his swordsmanship further.
At the age of 18, he achieved the status of an advanced sword master. It was an achievement that the world’s Duran Jacques had barely achieved at the same age.
However, to Yuma himself, it was still infinitely insufficient. Isn’t he the only regressor in the world who lacks the gift of being cured once in a thousand years?
I had to achieve faster and more.
In human history, only seven people have attained the rank of Grand Master.
Archmage Resol Creation God Sugar Roll Mandi Mantu of Flame Half Dragon Pidgin Karta Queen of Dawn Brienne Knight King Duran Ogre Slayer Hugo.
Before the Dragon Horse War broke out, Yuma wanted to put his name on the honorable eighth spot.
In the Dragon Horse War, such terrifying monsters also died while fighting the demon generals. Dragons like Kriesha Ainu also died in battle.
Sword Masters and Archmages often died in dozens. It was the same for high-ranking sword masters.
Yuma had no plans to die in the Dragon Horse War. The only plan was to lead the Dragon Horse War to victory by crushing the demons on the front line and surviving until the end.
The party set off for the empire as soon as dawn broke the next day.
“Why are you following me?”
“ha ha ha! I’m following Yuma-sama. Who are you following? Ahhh…
Igor’s terrible charm. Yuma was on the verge of getting goosebumps.
What’s even more creepy is that Hugo laughed at Igor.
Yuma and the others got into the carriage.
“Hugo-sama won’t be able to get into this carriage.”
“I ride the tulka.”
Tulka?
Hugo gave a long whistle, and something huge and dark came out of the mountain range.
Kururu…
A massive body covered in black hair that shimmers like obsidian.
It was a wolf. An ancient wolf bigger than a bull. Yuma had never seen such a beautiful and majestic beast in his life.
I had heard of it before returning.
The leader of the Worgs really rides a black wolf.
An ancient wolf named Tulka sat at his master’s feet and displayed his majesty. Yuma looked at Tulka in awe.
I would never have thought that such a wonderful beast could exist in the world. Neither before nor after the return had the possessive desire ever arisen so intensely.
My heart pounded more than when I first encountered Ascalon or the White Dragon. Want. should have that I want to commune with that beast.
“I want to ride that.”
Yuma blurted out those words without even realizing it.
* * * The knights of the Zach family sent by Catherine took Joheim’s evidence.
As soon as they arrived in Joachim, they realized something was wrong.
On the way to Yeongju Castle, we passed several villages. The whole village was in ruins.
After Amanzo failed to descend, all the people in Yoheim who were affected by black magic died. Decayed corpses of humans and monsters were as common as stones.
They found a piece of paper among the corpses of soldiers and monsters in the lord’s castle.
It was a piece of paper with the names of the knights and soldiers who fought against Secron.
It was a list that Yuma ordered a centurion commander to write on the day he defeated Secron.
The knights did not know what the name on the paper meant, but they kept it. They were honorable names left behind by over a thousand soldiers and knights who resisted the mad lord at the risk of death.
Some of the corpses taken as evidence were moved to the imperial castle via the Jacques mansion along with papers. Even before the evidence arrived, the Empress knew that Johaim’s work was true.
It was because the members of the Imperial Family Task Force who had been assigned to the knights of the Zach family reported in advance. Zach’s main axis, including Duran, also received a report on Joheim’s story.
Duran barely suppressed his intense anger and went straight to the empress.
