22 Visiting the Witch of the Golden Tower (6)
“Zekka!”
Yuma and Marlon screamed.
Yuma didn’t miss the moment when Kaiente was focusing on Jeka and rushed. It was to attempt an aura explosion.
Up until now, they had been sitting still and shooting beams of light, but Kaiente was the spirit of light.
Kaiente moved as fast as lightning and easily dodged the Ascalon that had dug into her chest.
Yuma was also not easy. As soon as Yuma confirmed that the sword had pierced the air, he immediately followed Caente’s movement using his swift speed.
However, approaching Kaiente again was unreasonable. It was because the small beams of light flew in, aiming for Yuma’s whole body.
Yuma was able to barely intercept the beam of light with the Auror sphere.
After using the aura sphere a few times, Yuma could feel that his stamina was rapidly dropping.
That small sphere is an extremely condensed aura. It was a skill that sapped health enough to be incomparable to speedy.
Yuma held back the dizziness and squeezed the Ascalon tightly.
‘damn…! No matter how much I think about defeating Kaiente right now, it’s impossible!’
Yuma thought.
A spiritual being of light who single-handedly destroyed an army of demons. Now that even Jeka had been hit, the odds of winning had completely disappeared.
Even though he had reached the level of a high-ranking sword master, his opponent was overly strong. Because Kaiente had stronger power than the lowest rank dragon.
But I couldn’t even run away.
The top of the golden pagoda is truly empty. The end of the field was no different from a cliff.
The only way out, the stairway leading downstairs, was blocked by Kaiente.
“Keuouh!”
Falling to the floor, Jeka screamed and shuddered.
Marlon came over to protect him.
Kaiente’s body slowly began to rise into the air. If Kaiente struck a thunderbolt while floating in the air, the party could not escape death.
However, Kaiente looked down at the party for a moment. There was a brief lull in the fighting.
The body of Zecca, who had fallen, was slowly turning black. Upon receiving a shock that could lead to death, the demonia that Hugo had suppressed began to run amok.
Soon, the black aura penetrated and Jeka’s wounds regenerated quickly.
“Kaiente! I’m really sorry for treating Wisp carelessly. I don’t want to fight that white Kaiente!”
Yuma shouted at the floating Cayenne Te.
Marlon was holding his breath and defending the fallen Zecca. Blood trickled from the shoulder and thigh cut by the beam of light.
“Kuwoaaaagh!”
Before she could hear Kaiente’s answer, Zecca stood up and screamed.
Zecca was completely engulfed in demonic energy and lost her reason.
Turyoung!
Zecca knocked out the horse Ron who was defending her with one hand.
Marlon stood up in the middle of it and defended Zecca’s sudden attack, but he couldn’t help but bounce off his body.
A black aura rushed into Zecca’s mouth. It was a breath he had seen before in the Black Wolves.
The black aura gathered in Zeka’s mouth kept twisting inside the sphere as if it would explode at any moment.
Kaiente didn’t show any reaction and just watched it quietly.
Jiing-!
Suddenly, the air next to Caente’s floating ball shredded like cheese. And a blue-haired woman protruding out of thin air.
Yuma had an intuition that the woman was the Witch of the Golden Tower.
Just before the breath was fired, the woman stretched out her hand toward Zecca while floating in the air.
As the woman held out her outstretched hand as if holding an egg, the condensed sphere of Zecca became smaller and smaller.
“Keuyoung?”
Zecca raised her strength again, as if not understanding why.
“Cheer up!”
This time, Yuma hit the back of Zecca’s head with the pommel as hard as he could.
Marlon, who was by his side, also noticed how things were going.
Marlon also hit Jecca’s head with a pommel.
Zecca sat down helplessly and made a gurgling noise.
The Witch of the Golden Tower smiled and began to descend slowly from the air. Kaiente followed suit.
“They are smart kids. Kaiente, you stop too. Too much fun.”
“I was not playing a joke, I was punishing. They seized the wisp, treated them carelessly, brandished their swords against me, and attacked me without revealing their names… As if the
majesty just before had gone, Kaiente, like a child who had been caught wrong, made excuses to the Witch of the Golden Tower. laid out
The tedious excuses felt lame. It was a point where the superiority of the relationship between the two could be recognized at once.
There were many adventurers who used wisp like a lantern.
However, the reason why Yuma and the others were in trouble with Kaiente was because they were not just ordinary travelers. Also, Kaiente was very free.
In the world, it’s just a story, but he’s already lived in the golden tower with the witch for five hundred years.
“Either be a joke or a joke. stop.”
The witch, who had listened to lame excuses for a long time, spoke to Kaiente again.
“I get it.”
Caente lowered her tail and hid herself in a crack in the air from which the witch had protruded.
Marlon stared at the rift where Caente had disappeared as if he was dumbfounded.
Zeka’s magic was quickly fading as soon as the Witch of the Golden Tower appeared. Before I knew it, the body that had been stained with black light had returned to its original form.
The Witch of the Golden Tower approached the group one step at a time.
Marlon flinched and straightened his sword, but Yuma naturally nodded.
Zecca just let out a moan because of the pain in the head from Yuma and Marlon.
“I probably didn’t intend to kill you guys.”
“I think I would have died over ten times if I had pushed harder!
Zecca almost died!”
“Kaiente knew that child wouldn’t die like that.”
“but…!”
Yuma elbowed Marlon in the side, forcing him to shut up.
“I have come to ask the Witch of the Golden Tower.”
Leaving behind the trembling Marlon clutching his side, Yuma spoke politely.
“Are we old?”
“yes?”
Yuma took a closer look at the witch’s face.
Long wavy hair and clear features. she was a beautiful woman
‘The beauty of the golden tower, not the witch, would be a better name. But what about a spherical face?’
No matter how much Yuma recalled, she had never met this witch.
After thinking for a moment, Yuma opened his mouth as if something suddenly came to mind.
“ah! no way? The blue dragon I saw on the ship!?”
“what?”
The witch smiled and reached out to Jeka without answering. When she raised her hand, Zecca naturally raised her body as if being supported by the wind.
“Yes. i am that dragon
You guys cheered for a very long time when you saw me on that boat.”
The party stared blankly at the witch as if they were mute.
‘That’s right…. Dragons could change into human form.’
Yuma, who had often experienced dragons during the Dragon Horse War, knew that fact well. However, it was impossible to transform while hiding even the smallest characteristics of dragons.
When dragons were in human form, they took the same hair and eye color according to their race.
Also, part of a dragon heart was revealed on the forehead or chest. It’s as if a jewel is stuck in it.
Even though it was no different from exposing one’s weakness, it was simply for the convenience of humans and themselves.
“My name is Kriesha Ainu. Just call me Krisha. I already know your names.”
Hearing Chrisa’s name, Yuma felt tingling as if he had been stabbed in the back of the head.
Kriesha Ainu! A dragon that took the lead in the Dragon Demon War to protect humans and slaughter demons.
She had a deep grudge against the Demons even before the Dragon Horse War broke out. And the image of Chrisa, who always flew to the battlefield and overturned the war situation without sacrificing herself, was truly a savior.
Even after the war, people called her the guardian of the north and worshiped her like a god.
The reason why her main stage was in the north is that blue dragons can fully demonstrate their original abilities the closer they are to the northern ice area.
‘And she died while chasing the fleeing demon army to the southernmost point…
After the demons killed the weakened Chrysa, they made a flag with the hide and used the horns and dragon hearts to make weapons.
Also, the demons marched through the battlefield with her huge head hanging on the flag.
Countless dragons and humans roared for her.
To prevent the demons from further damaging and insulting her body, Mahatrisa, the Dragon Lord, and Marlon Jacques, the Human Army, hurriedly marched to the southernmost point.
The dragon lord and swordsman were able to retrieve part of the body of Chrysa after a desperate struggle.
The corpse was already in a state where not even a word remained of its original form.
Countless priests prayed day and night to console her death.
It was also at that time that the dragon lord Mahatrisha presented the fruit of return to Marlon.
When Yuma faced the hero before returning who died while protecting humans in the Dragon Horse War, one side of his heart was blocked and it was difficult to control his emotions.
No dragon took the lead to help humans as much as she did. Most of the dragons chose to kill demons efficiently rather than being conscious of the damage humans would do.
After all, there was no human being who was not indebted to her.
Yuma turned Ascalon upside down and raised his left arm to his heart as he bowed.
When Yuma, the leader of the group, suddenly took the attitude of facing the greatest hero, Marlon and Zecca also raised their bows without hesitation.
“There is nothing you can do to that extent just because you mix words with me. I’m not an eccentric like Cayenne Te.”
Kriesha, unaware of the situation, put her hands on the heads of the party like a child.
It felt like my mind was clear and refreshed even though it was just a hand touching my head.
“Who told you to go find me?”
Kriesha looked at Zecca and asked.
She knew for a long time that Zecca’s body was filled with demonic energy.
It was no coincidence that the group ran into Krissa on the old man’s boat.
“This is Hugo from the Black Wolves.”
“Hugo…
Kriesha, hearing the name, frowned for a moment. Yuma remembered Hugo saying, ‘She doesn’t like me’.
“You must have seen the dragon’s eyes dwelling in that child’s body.”
“Forgive me?”
Marlon asked.
“Yes. And your sword…
Kriesha pointed at Yuma’s Ascalon.
“It’s the sword that killed two of my own people. Ascalon.”
He spoke without a special expression, but for some reason it was a sad voice.
Ascalon, a reporter, was freed from Yuma’s clutches by Crissa pulling the air with her hand. Then it floated horizontally in front of Krysa.
“Duran Zach… It seems that Ascalon is still owned by the Zach family.”
Kriesha said while reading the names of Duran Zak and Yuma engraved on Ascalon’s blade.
