Episode 319
Episode 108. The place where the tree of God used to be (1)
There were many embarrassing moments after coming to the East. Giant Wave Slave Liberation Porapora Island Rugal’s Identity, etc.
There has never been a time when I wasn’t surprised at every moment.
But it wasn’t as embarrassing as it is now.
A dragon pops out of the ground!
I’ve never heard of a dragon popping out of the ground, although I don’t know if it’s true that fishermen often regard blue dragons that come out of the sea as a symbol of good luck.
‘Besides, just looking at it… it doesn’t look like a normal dragon.’
It was different from the size. Yuma experienced many dragons during the Dragon Horse War, and even after returning, he saw Chrisa and Rugal in person.
However, the dragon in front of him far exceeded the size of all the dragons he had seen so far.
It was true that a huge body was not an absolute measure of strength, but it gave a tremendous sense of intimidation.
Like the keel of a ship, the huge dragon’s neck thumped and vibrated.
No one would believe me if I told you that there is a creature that can generate vibrations like this simply by breathing in and out.
Ballinan let out a few ‘ahhhs’ like a babbling baby, then hiccups.
The dragon that popped out of nowhere was surprising, but to Ballinnon, the number of artifacts was even more shocking.
“Right. I am Yuma Drake.
Why is the dragon helping the demons?”
Yuma responded with strength in her voice. I had to tilt my head completely back to make eye contact with the dragon.
The images of Yuma and Ballinan were reflected in the dragon’s amber eyes.
Margie didn’t feel it at all.
On the contrary, it seemed that a magical and mysterious energy permeated into my body just by making eye contact.
‘It looks like a normal dragon. And how do you know my name?’
The hand holding the Ascalon became damp. He was sweating because he was so nervous. It felt like my soy sauce was melting just like when I first met Hugo.
Yuma’s ancient wolf, Tulka, who never lost his composure under any circumstances, tried hard to hide his drowsy expression, but his heartbeat accelerated as much as Yuma and Ballinan’s waists.
While forcing himself to swallow his saliva unconsciously, Yuma waited for the dragon’s answer.
[It’s been thousands of years since I’ve seen it, but humans are still rude. Do you think you are in a position to dare to ask me such a thing?]
Huh!
The wing protruding from the ground flapped once, and a thick wind rose.
Then, the mana that spread around them was dyed red. A landscape as if the setting sun had suddenly descended was drawn.
Apart from the dragon’s anger, it was truly a spectacle to see all the mana emitting red light all at once.
It was a phenomenon that occurred as magic power expanded, but Yuma did not know how dangerous it was.
On the other hand, Ballinan’s face went white.
“Dragon! Are you going to kill us?”
[Yes.]
The answer without hesitation.
Yuma asked, stabbing Barlinan in the side. What does the red magic have to do with us dying?
“My brother is right next to me, 5,000 no.
Can you live even if more than 10,000 magic shells explode?”
“perhaps? Extremely thin?”
“If this blushing mana explodes, it will probably be that powerful… I’ve never seen anything like this before.”
A moment of silence followed.
Until just now, I was so nervous that I felt like my body would stiffen. However, when they confirmed that the dragon was clearly trying to kill them, the back bone became hot and furious anger soared.
‘This crazy dragon…isn’t it enough to join the demons and try to kill me?’
It didn’t matter if I could fight and win or not.
Yuma wanted to put a knife through the guy’s neck once again. It’s about exerting maximum power so that it doesn’t make a sound.
However, the problem was the life and death of Ballinan. If he fought the dragon now, he would not know himself, but Ballinan’s death was no different from a pre-determined future.
Fortunately, there was one name that was good to sell at this time. Even if it didn’t seem like it would work for the dragon attached to the demons, Yuma decided to talk about it for now.
“Do you know Krysa Ainu, Guardian of the North Sea?”
[I think the name of the young dragon who ruined his life while taking care of my brother will come to me in fear. That child wouldn’t dare to raise his head in front of me.]
“No, I didn’t think it would work. I don’t know how great you are, but at least you don’t seem to keep the dragon oath. If it was a dragon that knew the sanctity of the oath, it wouldn’t have helped the demons.”
[It was me and Maha Trisa who made that oath.]
“You speak as if you were the former Dragonlord.”
[Then what should I do? Keep the disgusting conversation short. Oh, give me Manzo’s sword. Then I’ll save the people outside.]
The magic has changed from the setting sun to a dark red color like blood.
Tulka shook her head, holding back a low cry.
Hwareuk! Black flames ignited, and Amula was summoned in Yuma’s left hand.
“You mean this? You don’t know what. This is something I cannot give you even if I wanted to.”
[You guys really don’t know what to do.
bouncer. put it around my neck
That’s it.]
At that point, Yuma had doubts.
‘If you can take Arilla by inserting it into your body, and if that guy is a really strong dragon, then you can solve it by force…. stab him? Something’s not right.’
Even Yuma himself did not know exactly what the contract between Amula and himself was.
When fighting Gud in the underworld, even after dying hundreds of times, the contract with Amula was not canceled.
Even when the left arm engraved with Arilla’s pattern was cut off, it was possible to summon it.
Of course, resurrection was impossible in the human world, not the underworld, so even a single death might deprive Arilla of ownership.
But if that’s the case, the dragon in front of you should kill itself and then call Amanzo to take Amula.
‘Assuming death can’t break my contract with Aquila… He won’t kill me carelessly. It seems that he promised to return the sword to Amanzo and receive something in return.’
I couldn’t be sure.
While Yuma was thinking about it, the dragon could have exploded its magic saying that it would be better to just kill you.
“Give me time to think. You’re a dragon, so you’re not good at negotiating. If this sword goes back to Amanzo and his power becomes stronger, wouldn’t humans eventually perish? The difference is only in who dies first.”
[You must have thought shallowly.
You must have thought that I couldn’t kill you because of my promise to Amanzo.]
“That’s right. That’s correct.”
[The wizards who visited this forest a long time ago made a similar decision to yours. They knew that I couldn’t kill them because of the Balaur’s oath. so i killed them all You will be in the same situation.]
It was a firm tone that could not be considered a lie or bluff.
No, it wasn’t because of the way he spoke.
It was a dragon word. A unique means for dragons who have lived for thousands of years to convey their will. It had great power in itself.
“Ha damn it. then kill me
Let’s stick together. who dies
I was getting annoyed at being threatened by a dragon that appeared out of nowhere and arguing…
While Yuma was talking, the dragon suddenly turned its head and was looking somewhere on the other side of the forest. It seemed that Yuma wasn’t even listening.
Yuma cut off what he was saying and looked at where the dragon’s gaze was heading.
I couldn’t see it with my eyes, but when I aroused my senses, I could feel the presence of people approaching.
There were approximately 50 or more humans.
My heart was pounding. He wondered if Igor, Thane, or another comrade might have come with troops.
If the dragon was at a level that Yuma couldn’t deal with even if he put all his strength into it, then of course those who came now would have no choice but to die.
‘Who is it? I’m hoping that Ballinan isn’t here too, but of course!’
The dragon was apparently paying attention to the direction people were approaching.
Yuma was worried that the monster would generate magic any moment and annihilate those who approached.
While contemplating whether to activate Sword Eye, the dragon spat to itself.
[Wizard…!]
It was a voice filled with deep anger.
Just as Yuma was trying to figure out the meaning of the dragon’s words, people appeared through the bone pillars.
They were not colleagues or subordinate soldiers.
It was a group of wizards in blue robes embroidered with white crows, holding oboes and wands. All of them were wearing wide-brimmed wizard hats, so their faces could not be identified.
It’s fortunate that they’re not colleagues, but I couldn’t understand why they were showing up here.
What they were wearing was the kind of outfit Yuma had often seen during her eunuch days.
‘Aren’t they the elite wizards of the Povian family!?’
In addition, it was a gray forest that could only be reached by crossing the central desert.
It would be surprising to see an ordinary Westerner here, but to see an elite wizard from the Povian family.
“Youngest boy!”
A wizard shouted and Val Renann, who had been hardened like a statue and had his eyes closed, looked away. Seeing them, Ballinan’s eyes widened as if they would pop out.
Soon, Ballinan raised a sobbing voice with a face that instantly flushed.
Like when a lost child meets his mother again.
“Hae Hands…? Hands right?”
The one called Hands nodded.
The wizards had been searching for Ballinan on Adol’s orders since the day after Ballinan followed Yuma to the east.
After almost a year of fussing around, I finally found Bali Nun.
No matter how hard they had suffered, all the wizards had frayed robes and crooked hats.
“Uh… is that really Hands?”
“Oh my gosh! See you now! You don’t know how much the family head was worried… Hee! What is that!”
“Ugh! hands! I almost died!
This dragon is trying to kill me!”
Hands, who was thrilled to see the young master, checked the dragon’s face while he was talking and punched his butt.
The other wizards also took a step back and raised their wands.
Of the fifty wizards, only one did not back down after seeing the dragon.
“Damn your brother! Did you just die? Did you really have to stop this older brother’s research?
huh? Because of you, I saw sunlight for the first time in three years!
Crawling on the land of the East for nearly a year!”
He was Aidan Fovian, the second son of Adol Fovian.
Aidan, who threw his wizard’s hat on the ground with a sigh, didn’t seem to be intimidated at all when he saw the dragon.
“And what about a dragon that can’t even use that magic? What kind of accident did you have again this time? salt bottle! Damn! How will I compensate for my 1 year? huh?”
Aidan was quite different from the personality Yuma remembers from his days as a eunuch. It was the same with Ballinan.
