Episode 132. Marong seal of Tejiz (5)
Tejiz was the name given when this land was incorporated into the administrative district of the empire.
[Sir Duran. Humans call this land Tejiz, but its real name is Mar Liskan. It is one of the ancient ruins such as Inz Vikan or Mus Icahn.]
Ariel, who transformed into her true form, said.
Yuma already knew Tejiz’s real name, Mar Liskan. I had heard from him when I was training with Mantu.
-When you return to the Western Kyle Empire, find a land called Mar Liskan.
If you go there, you will be able to get Hwa-an. Damn, I was going to let you know at the end, but my mind wanders too much.
– Marriskan? It’s the first name I’ve heard of.
-It is the land where the magic dragon is sealed. It’s a plateau in northern Kyle.
Mar Liskan was the place where Friga Matiu and Mantu’s Hwaan were sealed.
Because Mantu ran out of control ahead of schedule, I couldn’t properly hear why Hwaan was sealed there.
‘That guy couldn’t enjoy the last two days and ran out of control. On the last day, I wanted to have a drink and talk about this and that.’
Recalling that time, Yuma felt bitter.
‘Maybe I can get the Hwa-an today… Is it a keepsake of that guy?’
Human beings are gods that enable us to overcome the inherent limitations given to the species.
According to Mantu, all the grandmasters of the past have crossed the boundaries of their expectations for such things. Except for his mentor, Duran Jacques.
And Mantu told Yuma, ‘You, too, follow the path of your master.’ He even said to seal Awola, which can be seen as a sacred object like Hwa-an.
Because of this, even if Yuma obtained Hwa-an, he had no intention of owning it.
It is an unquestionable truth that the master reached the level of grand master with just one sword. Yuma thought that there was no way he couldn’t do what his master had done.
Become a grandmaster with your own power without the help of divine beings.
That was Yuma’s last goal as a warrior.
If so, who will you give it to if you get it?
From the moment she decided to visit Tejiz, Yuma had decided on a new owner for Hwa-an.
‘It’s time to return the debt for the fruit of return that I received from Marlon.’
Yuma’s only friend and the one who gave him a new time.
Also, Marlon has many similarities with Mantu. Their fiery and simple personalities, as well as their physiques and facial expressions, were strangely similar.
[From now on, I will open the entrance to the magic dragon seal. Even we dragons do not know the situation inside the seal, so please take care of yourself.]
“Please suffer, Miss Ariel.”
Ariel began to fly through the canyons between the plateaus. Whenever her silver wings flapped, wind-like mana poured out.
“Oh, is that cool?”
Every time Ariel turned, the entire canyon was filled with divine magic.
At first glance, the magical powers that seemed to be sprayed at random took shape as time passed, embroidering the air.
A beautiful magic circle is drawn that will make the viewer’s heart ecstatic.
Finally, when all the magical energy shining like ice crystals returned to their place, the scenery suddenly changed completely.
Uzz, Zuz, that is..!
Ominous noises, like something breaking and exploding, began to spread from all directions.
And red lines began to rise between Ariel’s pure white magic, and it was magic that rose from the seal.
‘It’s the same color as Hugo’s dragon’s face.’
Free was Matiu’s magic. The first owner of Hugo’s red dragon’s face.
Free could not measure Matiu’s strength with the amount of magic leaking out of the seal. It is still unknown how much he regained his strength compared to his prime.
But one thing was certain.
‘It seems wrong to go back without a battle. Those red lines aren’t made of old magic…
they’re recent magic.’
Yuma, deep down, hoped that Freega would be in a state where Matiu couldn’t even move straight. It was because the best thing to do was to solve the seal and return without a fight.
“Hmm, disciple. Are you saying that all of them are magical powers?”
“Yes, Master.”
“It is a very ominous energy. That should be pretty fun.”
Around that time, Ariel slowed down, as if the flight had become difficult. Even after flying for a while, the exhaustion was evident.
The red lines protruding from between the giant magic circles drawn by Ariel began to sink one by one.
When the last one fell into the magic circle and disappeared, the entrance to the magic dragon seal appeared.
rattle rattle rattle!
Straight-hewn columns burst through the surface of the sea below the canyon. The pillar started right in front of the cliff where the party was standing and continued to the entrance of the Demon Dragon Seal.
“Long way. I can understand why the imperial family and the Zac family sent a joint investigation team here, but still couldn’t find anything.”
“I don’t think that is another dimension. However, it seems that the entrance is revealed only with dragon magic.”
[It’s not that long to keep the entrance to Lord Duran open. Everyone, please come back without any problems. I don’t think it would be bad for that demon lord just to be trapped there.]
Ariel landed in front of the party and hung her long neck.
[Kyahak! On the way back, you’re talking unlucky things. If you’ve done all you have to do, get out of here lizard!]
“Haha! Let’s go back and meet Miss Ariel.”
“Go in, Master.”
“okay. Marlon Zeca. Hold on tight, you guys.”
The party jumped up and stepped on the pillar to enter the entrance of the Demon Dragon Seal.
And soon after, the magic circle disappeared, the entrance closed, and the pillars disappeared into the sea again.
“As Miss Ariel said, it feels a bit like an ancient ruin now.
Tejiz outside is just a plateau.”
“When wizards look at this space, it seems like they will bite bubbles and come out to study.”
Yuma vaguely thought that the inside of Tejiz’s magic dragon seal would be similar to the devil’s cave.
However, the seal had been abandoned and had the same taste as an old temple. There were stone statues of unknown animals, including dragons, all over the place, and there were also a few magic lamps whose magic had not yet turned off.
Also, the inside was very spacious.
Even Kyle’s or Kantra’s imperial castle didn’t seem to be wider than the seal. It is broken and worn out, but the stone slabs, which must have once shone, form an endless floor.
It was a landscape that somehow calmed my heart.
“Ohhh… is this really a space created by dragons? I have never seen a building like this in my life.”
The group slowly began to walk.
But I was at a loss as to which direction to go. Even at first glance, there were countless rooms, and it seemed that there were other roads inside the rooms.
It was tiring to find the direction in which magic flowed through the inherent aura. So much magical energy flowed inside the seal that it was difficult to read the magical power, just as it is difficult to distinguish water from water.
‘Kriesha said that Ascalon would show the way… There hasn’t been much response yet. Was it a figurative expression?’
Ascalon must have played a role in the seal. But it seemed not now.
“Master, it will take some time, but I think I can detect the source of magic. I will look for it.”
Just as Yuma was about to start meditating, Duran snorted once and pulled out the greatsword Starbuster on his back.
“Disciple, do you remember the saying that if the body is bad, the brain suffers?
At times like this, it’s not like finding your way through such a frustrating way.”
Before Yuma could answer.
Duran instantly opened Sword Eye and swung the Star Buster into a bell.
Kwa Kaka Cak!
What fell from Star Buster’s sword body was an aura that was so crude that it was hardly even called Aura Blaird.
Aura Blaird that was forcibly spread wide for destruction, not cutting.
It mercilessly smashed four or five stone statues and walls in front of it and flew far away, raising a cloud of dust.
At that point, not only Yuma, but Marlon, Zecca, and even Rakir couldn’t help but open their mouths.
‘But it’s an ancient ruin before it was sealed. It is a building that can be called an art that makes you feel solemn just by looking at it… Even if it is smashed down like this… All kinds of stone
statues and buildings that have kept the history and secrets of thousands of years ago are shattered. there was.
Would this be how it would feel to see someone brushing black on a masterpiece painted by a genius painter over the course of his life?
The three of them and one of the demons only stared at Duran’s back and the trail of destruction rising up in a cloud.
“Master Su. If you break it like this, won’t the road disappear? Some kind of special device or something…
“Hmm! It could be. But if the road disappears, you will have to break it down and recreate it. Also, if you hit it like this, someone will jump out. ha ha!
Swoon!
Auras gathered in Star Buster again. Just like before, Duran swung his sword without any hesitation, and statues and buildings exploded without a doubt.
“The King of Knights, Duran Zach, has arrived!”
It was a very excited voice.
Actually, Duran was enjoyable. Now, in the human world, it is difficult to find an opponent other than Hugo, but it was because it seemed that he would be able to fight satisfactorily with the first dragon.
“Whoever defends this land, hurry up and come out! Before I turn this place into powder!”
Also, after Asuka’s death, Duran needed someone who could solve him. In his heart, he wanted to mourn her death by smashing the whole world, but fortunately he was not a madman.
Instead, if it was the first dragon that threatened the world, it would be a perfect target for venting your anger. Duran planned to return home after pouring out all his anger in this seal today.
Puff! Translucent! pop…!
Every time the Star Buster drew a trajectory, the ground shook as if an earthquake had occurred, and there were roars everywhere.
The first battle in the seal began immediately after the stone statues lined up in the center collapsed with a single aura blade thrown at random by Duran.
“Oh, it seems that some of them have jumped out. Disciple, remember that this master’s way is always right.”
“Um yes… Master.”
The Star Buster, which was destroying everywhere in the middle of it, stopped moving. Through the mist of dust that obscured my vision, I sensed someone approaching.
Only Yuma and Duran were aware of the movement. It was such a quiet gait that Zecca and Malone couldn’t even notice it.
[You humans are vulgar as ever.]
It was a dragon.
