Episode 133. The first dragon Freega Matiu (4)
By general standards, Kujara To was an incredibly strong being. A demonic dragon that could possibly turn the whole world black.
But not for Yuma. To him, Kujarato was just a weak being that could collapse with just a minor variable.
“I met a dragon, but he had a lot of grudges against the Zach family. Frie revealed that he was Matiu’s son, Cujarato.”
“okay? Then it must have created a magical space to take revenge on our family. Being a dragon is such an insignificant existence.”
Even though the dragon had held a grudge against the Zach family for thousands of years, Duran seemed to have no further questions about him.
The reason for Cujarato’s grudge against the Zacs or the secret story about him were not important to him. This is because the disciple did not evaluate the existence as strong.
However, Duran only grinned as if he was satisfied that Yuma returned unscathed.
[Lord, Lord. Did you just say Kujarato?]
On the other hand, as soon as Rakir heard the name, he shook his short tail in fright. Blinking his wide-open eyes, he even checked again to see if it was Kujarato, but he seemed quite shocked.
“uh. That’s right, why?”
[Kahak… That crazy dragon is hiding here. He is not treated as a Demon Dragon only by royalties. It was notorious even among the demons in the underworld for being vicious.]
The reason was the various experiments performed by Kujarato.
He has captured all races in the world, including the same dragon, and used them as test subjects.
In particular, to the demons, Kujarato’s name was truly a symbol of fear. Ordinary demons were no different from Kujarato’s toys, and the Demon King-class demons also avoided fighting with him.
[Kuzarato in his heyday was literally a gangster, my lord. No demon wanted to lose themselves after being kidnapped and synthesized with a monster…
Even the rulers of the underworld would rather lose a few
normal demons than fight him.] “The demons in the underworld aren’t strong enough to be helpless I didn’t hear it, but seeing it, you’re a complete madman. It’s a test subject*…•- Well, even among human wizards, there are people who take Miryak and do that.”
Yuma said with a bitter taste.
Although the wizards did not create a new creature using Miryak, the context was not very different in that they were conducting a ‘forced experiment’.
[Probably lost a lot of power while in the magic space. Above all, the master is too strong. kyahak! Anyway, that crazy dragon will have a good time in the underworld now.]
While Rakir explained how great the feat of killing Kujarato was, Yuma thought about the ‘power of the void’.
‘That guy obviously used the power of Hwa at the end. I was also shocked that I canceled that power.’
The power of Hwa could only be used if it was related to him.
As far as Yuma knew, the only beings who could use the power of the void were Rugal and Shiram.
But now Cujarato has been added. Of course, the soul will be returned to the underworld after being killed by Yuma just now.
‘There is a high probability that his father, Friga Matiu, will also be able to use the power of Hwa. It must also have something to do with what the Dragon Lord said about Hwa’s growing power.’
From the first time Mahatrisa asked me to solve Tejiz’s magic dragon seal.
Yuma thought that Friga Matiu might have something to do with Hwa.
In the first place, during the Zishka incident, Shiram recommended Winslting to use the magic dragon seal.
Also, if it hadn’t been related to Hwa, Rizol would have solved the demonic dragon seal himself.
It would be a loss for Frigga or Kujarato to wake up and kill humans at random.
‘Meanwhile, Rizol showed weakness in Hwa’s power. Alpenter’s body was also stained with emptiness when exposed to the power of Hwa. As Frigga uses the power of Hwa, it must have been burdensome to solve it directly.’
Yuma hoped that now he could get any information from the first dragon he would meet when he opened the door. In particular, information related to Hwa.
Magic was no longer detected on the door where Ascalon had been inserted. The groove where the Ascalon had been inserted was gone, and the door looked slightly open.
It still boasted an imposing size, but somehow the door gave off the feeling that it would open gently if you pushed it with force.
[…The lord’s subjugation of Kujarato will be a great story even in the underworld.]
“Stop it, Rakir. Let’s go, Master.
over the door.”
“Yes, when the battle begins with the first dragon named Matiu, you guys take care of your friend. lest he die.”
It was a strange word.
It was natural for Frie to think that Matiu would be stronger than the dragons, golems, or kuzaratos he met earlier, but Duran was convinced that ‘if someone doesn’t protect him this time, Malone will die’.
“Who dies, Lord Duran!”
“Beyond this gate, you will surely die unless you are protected by either Yuma or me. If you’re going to go in and start flying, stay here and wait for the battle to end.”
It was something that was difficult for a proud Malone to admit.
I couldn’t go back without doing anything after following him here. There was no time to intervene when fighting Yongin, and when fighting Golems, he was in a hurry to avoid the magic beam.
So, in the final battle, he wanted to show Duran something. He wanted to prove that he was not weak even by superhuman standards.
Duran was seeing through all of Marlon’s thoughts with just his eyes.
But it was something he couldn’t help but say. He had no intention of killing his pupil’s friend and Hugo’s successor.
“The dragon named Friga Matiu will use magic, so I can’t feel his aura, Marlon. However, my senses, which I have struggled with for decades, are alerting me to the danger. You must be protected.”
“But Lord Duran! I can fight too!”
“Yeah, I can’t admit it. But, Marlon Matan’s kid. What will you be left with if you go out and search through the door?”
“I will not die.”
“Answer what I ask. What is left?”
As Duran released his energy, Marlon took a step back, feeling the sudden pressure. It was enough energy to make an ordinary soldier faint.
“…If I die, there will be nothing left. But I have the confidence to fight. I am strong enough!”
“There is nothing. It is enough to answer like that. Don’t attach a sajok It’s only necessary when doing business. It is not necessary for unmanned people.”
“Then you’re telling me to hide behind Yuma!”
“Yes.”
“Sir Duran!”
“If you die in this battle, nothing will be gained.
But what if you survive? will be able to grow further. It will be a battle where you can practice just by looking at it.”
“I’d rather fight even if I die.”
Marlon glared at Duran like an angry beast. Duran just looked down at Marlon, smoothing the wrinkles around his deeply sunken eyes.
“It is not too late to say that you will fight even if you die, even after you become strong. If you want more, I’ll knock you unconscious. until the fight is over.”
Duran never spoke empty words. And Marlon was well aware of that fact.
Listening to the conversation between the two, it was Yuma who came to mind before returning.
In their previous life, they had a relationship between adoptive father and adopted son, but the relationship would be much better now.
At that time, Marlon was adopted and lived with Duran completely behind him a few years later.
It was because he could not stand the bullying of the great nobles who ignored him, looked down on him, and killed a member of his family in a ‘duel’.
After that, Duran never gave Marlon affection. It was unimaginable to see him trying to save Malone like he does now.
‘Master, unlike back then, he has affection for Marlon now, so he must be like that. Anyway, it’s a great feeling. Even though he doesn’t feel magic, Free is clearly aware of Matiu’s danger.’
Unlike Duran, Yuma sensed the magic power of Matiu intact through the crack in the door.
That heavy magic power that seemed to strangle the whole body.
“Answer me. Will you follow me and be quiet, or will you lie down here for a while?”
Marlon could not defeat Duran.
“…after. I’ll follow you. As Lord Duran said, it would be better to learn at least one.”
It was the answer he gave out after gritting his teeth.
As soon as Marlon turned around, Duran smiled to himself. It’s like looking proudly at a child who listens well.
“Matan kid, you will definitely not regret that choice. To the point where you would feel ashamed of yourself for making such a grumpy face right now.”
Then Marlon, who had been frowning so disapprovingly until just now, relaxed his expression.
“Come to think of it, the men of Magican like watching fights as much as fighting. I look forward to it, Emperor of the Empire. Thank you, Yuma.”
There were few people in the world who could playfully call Duran Jacques ‘inspiration’. Catherine and Natalie Yuma were the only ones.
However, as if he didn’t hate Marlon’s provocation, Duran let out a laugh and moved toward the door.
As Duran reached out, the door slowly began to open. It took about 10 seconds for it to fully open, but the first thing the group saw was a dim hallway.
The corridor was a long, straight line.
As the party moved on, curiously, the candlesticks hanging on both sides of the hallway were lit up in accordance with it. It was a trivial phenomenon, but it wasn’t magic, it was done by authority.
“You are the one who knows how to welcome guests.”
Duran said softly and put the Star Buster on his back. Yuma and Marlon were also lead swords.
“I can’t hold a weapon while the enemy is relaxing.”
Had I walked down the aisle for about 10 minutes? The party reached what they thought was the end of the corridor and stopped walking.
I saw a person sitting upright on a chair at the end of an exceptionally dark hallway.
Free, taking the form of a human, was Matiu.
He was wearing an antique outfit that can only be found in history books, which was worn by nobles on the continent thousands of years ago.
It was unexpected. The party naturally assumed that Freega was in her true form.
“You wear too retro clothes. Nice to meet you, Friga Matiu.”
[It’s rude to call someone’s name carelessly. Especially when he hasn’t revealed his name.]
“You’re destined to die soon, so why don’t you argue too much?”
[What is your name?]
“Duran Jacques. The strongest knight on earth.”
[No, not you, but the child outside the realm next to you.]
