Episode 108. The place where the tree of gods used to be (5)
Aidan then explained why ‘encroachment’ had no choice but to work with Sheltion.
Unlike Aura, which is used with individual senses, magic power can predict the result because there are accurate formulas and calculations.
“Of course, magic also has a sensory domain, but considering that Sheltion’s exposed body was covered by encroachment in the first place, the possibility is more than 90%. I promise you.”
No matter how foolish Aidan was, he was a Fovian.
The best family in the empire for trickery and trickery.
If you’re not sure, don’t move. It was one of the essences of the Povian family that Yuma felt during his time as a eunuch. Perhaps the method suggested by Aidan will work.
“Starting today, I will prepare a magic circle inside the gray forest. It will take about three days, so I think the troops will need to secure their way in the meantime.”
“Do that.”
Aidan took Barlinan and left the barracks. Yuma, who was left alone, thought about what power Sheltion had that offset the ‘encroachment’.
It’s similar to authority, but not authority, and it’s not an aura, but it’s a power that’s somehow familiar.
‘It’s neither authority nor words… Where have I experienced such power? No matter how I think about it, it’s too familiar.’
It was as if I had peeked into an old memory that I had forgotten about. It seems to remind me of what it was, and it makes people care.
He thought about how many times he smoked the pipe he had taken out of his pocket, but Yuma couldn’t remember in the end.
‘If you feel it again during the fight this time, you’ll know what it is. Or it was my misunderstanding.’
The next morning, Randell, accompanied by King Faitz, marched around the Gray Forest with 30,000 men.
“Come soon, friend. If it’s too late, your friend won’t have any Velma left.”
“I look forward to it, Sir Randall.”
The remaining soldiers followed the commanders’ instructions and entered the gray forest entrance. They planned to use the farthest road possible from Weltion’s seal to secure the path to High Mac.
Aidan’s wizards traveled throughout the forest, installing magic structures and drawing magic circles.
“It spreads an encroachment that takes more magic than a meteor strike. hands! Don’t forget to fill every nook and cranny well!”
“Yes, second boy!”
Yuma looked at the warriors who had gathered to deal with Sheltion. As they were directly selected by Natalie and Tane, there was no one with less than a Sword Master.
However, most of them did not meet Yuma’s standards.
It was Yuma’s job to receive Sheltion’s breath head-on, so at least he had to be able to knock out the breath fragments that fell like meteorites.
“Tane.”
“Yes, Commander-in-Chief.”
“Marker Yeats Herdin. Excluding these three people, exclude the rest from the subjugation.”
Yuma judged that with the exception of the three named names, the rest would not be able to cut off Sheltion’s breath fragments.
If you couldn’t stop it, participating in the subjugation would only result in a dog’s death.
Yuma’s colleagues and the Tain Marker Eitz Hudin. And the 53 elite wizards of Fovian. Finally, the number of people who will participate in the subjugation of Sheltion has been decided.
“The operation is simple. While the wizards prepare their magic, we cover them. I will beat the breath, so you just have to block the breath fragments from bouncing off the mages.”
“Aang! Mr. Yuma. How strong is that fragment?”
It’s all about it, but it’s all about it…
When I heard Igor’s snoring, a vein formed on his forehead. Yuma unknowingly crushed the baton he was holding and smiled at Igor.
“Good question, Igor. It will be roughly like this. It is ten times more powerful than magic bombardment.”
Whoops! Yuma stepped forward and punched lightly, sending Igor flying far into the forest and crashing to the ground. It was an attack using the martial arts learned from Mantu.
His colleagues and Tane just shrugged their shoulders when they saw this scene, but the wizards and the three warriors Yuma pointed out opened their mouths.
“There might be a protective shield from the wizards, but everyone keep their heads up. If you don’t stop, you think you’ll die.
In particular, Marker and Yates Hudin will have a fight like this for the first time, so be very careful.”
“yes!”
“Also, you should make sure not to get excited thinking that participating in the dragon subjugation is an honorable and great thing. The ones we want to kill are actually demon dragons created by humans.”
At that point, Yuma secretly glared at Aidan. Yuma didn’t like Aidan’s view of Sheltion as a ‘subject of study’ or a ‘creator of mysterious magic’.
It wasn’t a difficult operation.
Sheltion is sealed and cannot move properly. It seemed that the only way to attack was to fire only the breath in place.
Yuma could knock out the breath anyway, so the rest was just the fragments.
In addition, the fragments would be filtered out by Natalie and Tane, who were outstanding warriors, and would be filtered out by the wizards’ shields, so the rest of the warriors would have a very small share.
“If there is another threatening attack other than breath or if a variable occurs, we will immediately stop the subjugation, withdraw, and plan our strategy again. more.”
The three days passed in the blink of an eye. In the meantime, Yuma took Marker and Eights Hudin to train them to hit the debris.
Yuma threw an aura with the same power and speed as a shrapnel, and they knocked it off. As they were the three chosen by Yuma, the training went smoothly.
I didn’t forget to scout Sheltion’s trends.
Wizards were in charge of that, and they were able to pinpoint Sheltion’s location using the magic of the forest.
“Sir Yuma, my prediction was correct. I searched for Sheltion’s place using mana measurement, but he’s obviously wrapped around chains or roots and can’t move.”
Aidan held out a chart and a piece of paper that briefly described Sheltion’s condition.
On the piece of paper that Yuma had received, the basement where Sheltion’s body was buried was depicted, but the thickly painted parts stood out.
“The painted places are the key locations of the seal. The structure is simpler than I thought. If you destroy those parts, you will be able to finish it with cannibalism.”
“I think this is the first time something like this has happened, but you act like you’re very familiar, Sir Ethan.”
“My family’s ancestors are the ones who fought the most dragons in the world. There are over 30,000 books about dragons in the family lab. How many books on research on sealing do you think there will be?”
“Did you read all of them?”
“of course. Tens of thousands of research books are basic for magicians. If unmanned men swing their swords thousands of times a day, we read research papers.”
The wizards of Fovian stood out for their thoroughness.
For three days, they prepared gravity magic to reveal the ground, a magic circle to strengthen the erosion of the shield, and even a barrier in preparation for a retreat situation.
“Gather the people to subdue Tane.
We will start right away.”
“Yes, Yuma-sama.”
The punitive force moved without riding a horse. He didn’t even bring Tulka.
They all seemed to be walking towards Sheltion’s seal with a firm expression on their faces.
Even though they moved pretty quickly from noon, it took them five hours to reach the seal.
Yuma spread the wizards one by one in a position where Sheltion’s neck and wings could not be seen.
“Bless you, Sir Yuma. I ask for cover.”
As Aidan began to lead, the wizards began to take their places one by one.
After 30 minutes, the mages were able to line up in a semicircle behind Tion. Ballinan was also mixed up in the gap and took out various protection artifacts.
Fortunately, Sheltion’s attack didn’t follow in the process. It was thanks to the wizards disturbing the magic of the forest all the way.
The thick magic that spread through the gray forest worked against Sheltion in many ways.
With the exception of Yuma and Natalie, the warriors filled the gap between the wizards along with Tane.
The start of the subjugation had been decided by Aidan. The signal is that the magic that reveals the land surrounding Sheltion unfolds.
“Open the magic circle!”
As Aidan’s sharp voice resounded, Sheltion raised his head as if he had finally responded. Then he said:
[Are you going to be torn apart by insects after expulsion? Mahatri Shah…]
“Magic Circle 1 opened!”
“The second magic circle is open!”
Sheltion’s slow, small voice was barely audible as it was drowned out by the screeching cries of the wizards. However, Yuma, who was close to the senses of a superhuman, was able to hear the voice directly.
Rumble!
When the magic circle opened, the ground began to shake as if an earthquake had occurred. Magical structures installed outside and inside the forest reacted to this and fired beams of magic.
The wave of magical energy that started outside the forest instantly reached Sheltion’s seal and emitted a bright light.
Yuma passed the wizards and threw herself in front of Sheltion. Breaths boiling like lava were already gathered in Sheltion’s snout.
[You humans are lucky with disgusting subjects. What do you think are the chances that a wizard as good as me will find this land at this moment? The gods are always like this.]
“Sheltion. I heard about you from the spirit king, but did I have to hold hands with Amanjo? Or is it collusion with Hwa, not Aman Joe?”
Hwa was the most decisive reason why Yuma decided to subdue Sheltion.
If Sheltion’s hatred of killing not only humans but all life except for the Balaur was realized, Hwwa would benefit the most as a result.
[You are angry. Is it because I am with them?]
“Watch out Yuma!”
Wow! At that moment, the breath gathered in Sheltion’s mouth fell towards Yuma. Yuma used the previously raised aura to unleash Sky Split to offset the breath.
‘My breath is weaker than last time!’
Sheltion’s breath had reduced its destructive power by about 30%.
Four holes ago, fragments immediately started bouncing from the spot where Sky Split and Breath collided, but this time, Sky Split pushed the breath even a little bit.
It was the same with the falling debris. Natalie and Tane cleared the debris more easily than expected, and the other three men also cleared the filtered debris without difficulty.
The reason Sheltion didn’t attack the retreating group of Yuma last time was to save strength. Yuma was convinced that his remaining power was limited.
Even so, it was not something I could easily think of. Sheltion’s strong body, which could not get a single scratch even after Yuma opened the sky split, was still intact.
Besides, it was impossible to accurately grasp the rate at which that limited power fell, and there might be other numbers hidden. The subjugation had to be carried out carefully as planned.
“Sheltion, even now, let’s go…
[Is the woman Yuma Drake just shouted out to be careful is your lover?]
Are you trying to target Natalie?
While Yuma was thinking, Sheltion’s next words continued.
[And most of the people who came with them must be colleagues.]
Breath spheres were gathering in Sheltion’s mouth again. Yuma also raised his strength and prepared to face it.
[What you want to protect is actually not all human beings, but rather close to a few people you care and love very much.]
“What do you mean?”
[Even after you’ve been betrayed by your lover, your co-workers, and those you tried to protect… I’ll see if you can shake off the hand that was extended out of the darkness. If you survive from me.]
“Magic Circle 3 unlocked! Sir Aidan!”
“Reveal the land!”
As the wizards raised their wands and orbs in unison, a huge crack was drawn in the ground in the center of Sheltion.
