Episode 323 The
bronze throne with huge white marble statues of lions on both sides could only be seated by the King of Seiden.
So far in Seiden’s history, not a single woman has ever sat on this bronze throne, and no queen has ever existed in the kingdom’s history.
Chin-
But now, sitting on the bronze throne is a woman who looks only about twenty.
Sigh—
she ran her hand through her well-managed blue hair and looked down with a relaxed expression.
“It’s really annoying to sit in the king’s seat. A bloody battlefield suits me as well.”
The blue lion of the battlefield.
Seiden’s ‘first’ Queen Rayona.
Although she was a member of the royal family, she has lived in battles since childhood. She was no different from a murder weapon who had honed her skills on the battlefield since childhood.
Thinking that she had accumulated enough skills, Rayona eventually purged all her blood relatives, from the comfortable king to her brothers, with her own hands, and obtained this bronze throne.
“Perhaps there are more similarities to you than the treacherous bastards standing next to you.”
So, it was natural for Rayona to value and cherish her knightly background.
“…As the King, I order. From now on, I appoint you as the Commander of the Knights of Seiden.”
Rayona smiled and tapped the newly appointed knight commander’s shoulder with the king’s sword.
“I hope you will do your best for the well-being and revival of the kingdom.”
After all the tedious rituals were over, the newly appointed knight commander took off the cloth from his head.
Swoop-
Silver hair that reflects blindingly bright light. Red eyes and a beauty unmatched in the entire kingdom.
“…Adela Ortensia. I will obey your order.”
Adela was the newly appointed Knight Commander of Seiden.
[You have cleared the quest.]
[You have become the Knight Commander of Seiden Kingdom.] [
Lead Seiden Kingdom to victory in the upcoming war by obtaining decisive information.]
Adela sees these short few lines of messages. In the sparring called ‘Raising Ceremony’ created by Rayona for this purpose, he defeated countless opponents.
It was all because Rayona, who likes the strong, declared that the position of knight commander would be given to the strongest knight.
‘Thanks to that, I was able to easily become the knight commander, so it must be a good thing.’
Of course, there was no knight of Seiden that could compete with Adela. She only pretended to wield a sword and spewed out ice, but Adela was called the magician of ice and continued her winning streak throughout the sparring.
“okay. A strong person like you is always welcome. If someone is territorial because they are from another kingdom, cut their throats with your sword. Make me responsible.”
It was so impressive that even Rayona, who had a level 6 combat power, was interested in her, saying that she was a good match.
‘Since I bought the king’s trust, there will be no problems with my internal activities…’
How can I get information outside the kingdom and meet my colleagues?
The moment you are in trouble.
An urgent quest appeared in front of Adela’s eyes.
[Hidden Quest: The indomitable navigator who crossed the sea of the emperor is now approaching the sea of Seiden Kingdom. Contact them first before the guards find them.]
‘…Indomitable Voyager?’
I couldn’t guess who it was just by looking at the name.
[Details- If the indomitable navigator is imprisoned, the hidden quest will fail.]
Adela didn’t have time right now.

Shin Yuseong thought.
If he hadn’t had a dragon heart shining right in front of his eyes, would he have believed the story he had just heard?
“…There is a mechanical engineering robot in the basement of the Isle of Women?”
It even looks like a dragon, and how big is it that it’s as huge as a castle?
“Isn’t it hard to believe? Even I, who saw it myself, couldn’t believe it, so it’s shocking…”
Even Lee Si-woo, who explained how unbelievable this story was, agreed.
“I believe Yeah… I can’t help but trust you when you bring me something like this.”
However, the enormous jewel Lee Si-woo held was the dragon heart, which serves as a power source in the dragon’s body.
If mana is blood, can the hearts of humans and dragons be the same?
How strong would that power be to spread the dragon’s enormous mana all over the body?
Thanks to that, the Dragon Heart, a by-product from the dragon’s body, was an artifact-class treasure in itself.
‘Because it’s a mechanical engineering robot… To use a dragon heart, it must be at that scale.’
The good news is that they were able to replace the dragon hearts with Velvet’s handmade mana stones thanks to their discovery before the war started.
“That’s right. What a dragon heart. Then Yooseong will give this to you, so write it yourself.”
Shin Yoo-seong, who accidentally obtained a great treasure called Dragon Heart, fell into trouble.
‘Indeed, what kind of help can this dragon heart help with this attack?’
There was no way there was a hunter forge on the Isle of Women, so they couldn’t make artifacts, and it wasn’t a by-product that Dragon Hearts could consume like elixirs.
‘Wait…’
Then, suddenly, a golden idea pops into Yooseong Shin’s head.
‘Didn’t I say that the shape of the magical engineering machine resembles a dragon?’
Sandra was not alone in possessing advanced combat weapons in the form of dragons.

Moonlit night of full moon.
After leaving the inn, Sumire walked down the street, supported by the shadows and relying on the dusky light filtering through the leaves.
‘A place where you can avoid your gaze for at least a few hours…’
As with most islands, the areas of Women’s Island, excluding accommodations and castles, were made up of unexplored nature. Thanks to that, it was not difficult to find a place to avoid the gaze.
‘This would be nice.’
The place Sumire chose was the coast below a steep cliff where ships do not dock.
slam-! slam!
Sumire took out a red jewel from her pocket and grabbed it with both hands.
‘…This is Dragon Heart.’
Although he hadn’t even used the skill yet, the dragon heart’s mana struggled wildly like a living fish and resisted.
‘Ugh…’
Sumire was nervous.
Unprocessed mana is like a condensed spring that doesn’t know where to bounce, so if handled incorrectly, it would explode and show off its destructive power.
So, Sumire concentrated all the nerves in her body and exerted mana.
“Animate Dead.”
Sumire let go of the dragon heart she was holding while reciting an incantation used only for gigantic magic. The dragon heart that bounced lightly like a drop of water soaked into the floor as if it were being eroded
, and
a huge magic circle was drawn on the ground beneath Sumire’s feet.
“Your eternally sleeping spirit.”
Animate Dead.
A high-level magic of black magic that contracts and summons high-level undead using the dead soul as a medium.
“Use the bones of others to replace your lost body… and use my mana as blood to wake up from your long sleep.”
When Sumire’s incantation finished, the black magic circle drawn on the floor turned red like blood.
‘…It consumes so much mana that I’m already dizzy.’
If the dragon’s skull is the medium that grants the bone dragon a body and makes the contract successful, this dragon heart is like an upgrade that raises the bone dragon to a higher level, just as it elevated the death knight to durahan.
A skill of a much higher order than before, when only contracts were made.
[First Power: Animate Dead]
[Familiar: Bone Dragon]
[The familiar is absorbing the dragon heart’s power.]
[The incomplete summoning is restored in full form.]
Saaak-
Sumire is like a thread connected to someone else . I could feel the mana flowing through my body.
“Ugh…”
Sumire felt dizzy from consuming too much mana in an instant.
[The wave of mana is unstable. The condition of the Contractor could adversely affect the familiar.]
But I had to endure it for now.
Currently interpreting the dragon heart with the power of the witch. Sumire’s concentration was important enough to influence the outcome of the summoning.
Hwaaa-
Sumire closed her eyes and focused on the wave of mana. The magic circle, which had been wildly fluctuating like waves, calmed down like a lake and regained stability.
[A new contract has been made.]
[The familiar is given a name.]
A jet-black wave soared toward the sky from the magic circle. Giving a name to a dragon that wields the power of the spirit of the spirit meant a new birth.
The bone dragon that was simply summoned and the bone dragon that was given a ‘real’ name were completely different beings.
As it was such an important ceremony, the power of the witch, after careful consideration, interpreted all the powers sleeping in the dragon heart and decided the most appropriate name for the bone dragon.
[The new name given to the Familiar Bond Dragon is Bahamut.] At the end of a
slight
vibration, a huge bony forepaw protruded from the magic circle. [This is
Bahamut
, the evil dragon.]
The bone dragon slowly crawled out of the black swamp with the sound of bones crashing.
– Bahamutra.
The Bone Dragon, who was given the name of Bahamut, the lord of the black dragons and called the evil dragon, had a much bigger body than before. And in both eyes, the fire of the undead’s unique soul was blue.
– That sounds good.
The nameless Bone Dragon was born again.
