Episode 330
Episode 109. Dragon Heart (5)
The dragons moved their huge bodies like falcons.
As the eight dragons fell vertically and landed on the floor, causing a heavy vibration, Aidan’s body, made of magic, became blurred for a moment.
With dragon words, mana was scattered.
The mana that made up the body was definitely Aidan’s, but the dragon’s words had compulsory power beyond ownership.
“profit!”
Aidan prepared an attack magic while controlling the dissipation of magic.
The magic circle that called Meteor Strike rose in the air, but it shattered like glass right away.
Aidan’s limbs twisted. The dragons surrounded Aidan in a circle like wringing out a rag, and twisted Aidan’s arms and legs with their magical powers.
Then, they opened their mouths in unison and gathered their breaths. Breaths fired from eight directions formed a dot to the spot where Aidan was standing.
Even if he had obtained infinite magical power, it was not possible to fully use that magical power. Just as you have two hands, you cannot carry three weapons.
Therefore, the only thing Aidan could do was to create a shield. Of course, the shield could not block the eight lines of breath.
His magical talent was genius by ‘human’ standards, but from the point of view of dragons, it was not even the level of a child dragon.
“Quaaaaagh!”
The pain of falling alive into a pit of fire overtook Aidan. The pain was so terrible that it made me want to die.
Of course, a normal person would have died instantly without feeling any pain. However, the magical power of the root continuously regenerated the body without Aidan having to use his hands.
Aidan struggled and stretched his hand forward. Seeing his forearms melting and regenerating every second made me feel like going crazy.
The guy reached out for his bag.
Inside the bag was a magic booster mixed with microbes that made Sheltion’s breath weak.
But remembering that, Yuma slashed Aura Blade and cut off Aidan’s outstretched hand.
Yuma then threw the bag somewhere deep in the forest with all his might.
People lying down near the place where the bag had been came into Yuma’s field of vision.
While Yuma checked the survival of Natalie and her fellow subordinates, Kriesha spread a barrier to them.
The breath started to go off after about 5 minutes. But to Aidan, it was a time that couldn’t help but feel like 10 years, not 5 minutes.
The dragons who took their breath simply looked down at Aidan with emotionless eyes.
The body was completely reduced to ashes, but in the place where Aidan was standing, magical energy wriggled like a maggot, forming a human form again.
The dragons weren’t waiting to make sure he was finished.
It’s just that he’s given time to give another pain when he regenerates.
“Krisya-sama, did that root really give him the realm of immortality?”
Yuma went to Kriesha’s side and asked.
“Yes. Since ancient times, humans have misunderstood immortality and immortality as a blessing….even though it is closer to a curse. That is why people in the past coveted the tree of God.”
As if tens of thousands of insects came together, the magical power formed Aidan again.
Aidan’s eyes, which would have no sense of incongruity even if he was resurrected, lost their focus and shook in a daze.
“How does Yuma look in your eyes? Does immortality look great?”
It looked ugly. However, Yuma just shook his head, not letting out the feelings he felt were ugly.
It seemed to be rude to the Balaur, who live a life close to that of fire.
Pale face, trembling fingers, open mouth.
It was the image of a person whose mind had collapsed after being subjected to horrendous torture. Aidan’s cloudy eyes were looking at the claws of the dragons.
It was not that the infinite mana he had acquired through luck would make his weak mental strength go down like steel.
Unlike power or power, the strong mental power that does not give in to anything could only be reached at a cost in the era.
Power given to those who do not deserve it must be corrupt, and excessive power taken by those who are not prepared will never shine.
Aidan was exactly like that now.
In the first place, he was a human who was so vulnerable to desire that he lost his castle due to the magic of the root, so he collapsed with just one extreme pain.
‘I think the taste has gone. Rather than cutting them off at once, it was a good way to make them suffer in that way. Well, I didn’t have the stamina to do that earlier.’
But the dragons had no mercy.
As the dragons lit up their faces at the same time, Aidan’s eyes gradually went to the gun. It was a dragon magic that forcibly awakened the spirit.
– Do you think it will be difficult for dragons to deal with humans?
It reminded me of the story I had heard the day I first met Rugal.
Manipulating the human mind was not something only demons like Amanzo could do.
Aidan, who briefly suffered a seizure from the effects of the dragon word magic, looked around like a person who had a frightening dream and fell to his knees.
“Please forgive me. I never meant to be like this I couldn’t stand the root’s magical power, so I went crazy for a while…!”
Aidan, who said that, was possessed by tears. Kriesha just shook her head and didn’t answer.
This time, Yuma strode towards Aidan. Ascalon was holding a lead sword and holding only two fists.
“Lord Yuma, do you remember how I tried to protect you and the people? I’ll give up my magic and everything! Forgive me… kuhuheouk!”
Fudduk!
Even if the body was made of magic, there were bones and skin. Aidan twisted as Yuma used his fingers like an awl to pierce his collarbone. He couldn’t even scream, he just gasped for breath.
“know. I know full well that it can’t be your exoneration.”
Yuma threw out his fist without controlling his strength.
Aidan vomited mana instead of blood as he was swung here and there by the fist that flew like a piece of metal. Regardless of whether it was a broken tooth or a broken bone, magic quickly regenerated them.
It wasn’t that he didn’t have the strength left to oppose Aidan.
He still possessed endless magical powers that allowed him to move the earth with just a gesture of his hand and to unleash the magic of linkage for war within a minute.
However, Aidan was afraid of Yuma and the dragons and could not resist. I didn’t want to go through the experience of not being able to die and having my mind hacked up again.
“Hee-eok-heh… Sir Yu Yuma! Stop hitting my feet! I’m not even resisting! If I can apologize, I will do anything!”
Aidan grabbed Yuma by the crotch of his pants and screamed. Yuma looked down at him with a cold gaze and kicked his head off.
“You have already made your choice and you are only getting paid. And didn’t you try to kill Natalie and my colleagues too? They were irresistible.”
“Ouch! I am! I mean, I was out of my mind!”
Aidan, who was tumbling down and stuck in a pile of bones, slammed the ground with his fist. Soon, he hit Yuma and the dragons with his forehead on the ground.
“It’s my fault, but I couldn’t help it because of the magic of the root! If Lord Yuma had Hort, he would have done the same! This is a trap. The magic of the root drove me crazy!”
“I assure you, if Barlinan had Hort, he would be different from you. Also, the Guardian of the North gave you a chance to keep your dignity.”
When Yuma walked towards him again, Aidan sobbed and didn’t know what to do.
“Dragon, who put the roots in this place! I can assure you. Any wizard! If I felt this magical power, I would have lost my reason and was stained with desire!
In fact, there is nothing wrong with me!”
It was a tone of sincere regret.
Even resentment was felt in the eyes of Aidan, who was vehemently complaining of resentment.
Silence arose. Kriesha stared at Aidan with a disappointed look, and Yuma also stopped for a moment.
“You’re an asshole who says it’s okay to molest a woman wearing filthy clothes
. But is there anything wrong with you? is it unfair
Is this crazy bastard out of his mind?’
“How many times have I told you I was crazy! I was possessed!”
“You still don’t know what you did wrong. I guess I’m just out of luck.
“Shut up, shut up! On a topic I don’t know anything about! Even if I had committed a crime, it would not be worthy of such torture!”
Aidan widened his eyes and emitted magic. A sharp whirlwind of magical power wrapped around Yuma, but it didn’t feel as threatening as before.
As Yuma had thought the whole time, Aidan wasn’t even a problem when he was full of stamina. Infinite magical power and the strongest are not synonymous.
Whoa…
Yuma’s fist followed the trajectory, and the magic whirlwind splintered like a rotten twig. At that point, the sound of Aidan’s breathing, which had been vigorous, subsided.
“How so easily.”
It was a hollow voice.
“Did you really think you could become the best with the power you got for nothing? Aidan Po Biang. It’s so unpleasant to deal with.
“I could be a corpse…
Yuma turned around.
Aidan tried to scream again, but as soon as Yuma turned around, the dragons began to slaughter Aidan again.
I would be lying if I said it wasn’t bitter at all.
As Aidan said, anyway, he took the lead in trying to save people from Sheltion.
In addition, Sheltion was also a scapegoat that became Marong because of humans, and the roots that supported the tree of God were once again stained by human greed.
Kriesha’s graceful fingers passed gently through Yuma’s hair.
“Don’t think too much. The mistake of the Balaur who only came to this point is great. We made you cover our mistakes.”
“If it’s a mistake, are you talking about Sheltion?”
“Yes. Has he left anything for you?”
“I said these words to the Mahatrisha Dragonlord…
“If you told me to tell the Lord, he will be back soon, so you better tell it yourself.”
“By the way, what happened to Ballinan? Are you all right?”
Yuma looked in the direction of Vali Nunn with a worried face.
“Not only are you safe, but you’ve gained all of Sheltion’s magical powers.
But his spirit family will try to retrieve the dragon heart embedded in this child’s body.”
“Originally, it’s up to the Balaur, so that’s right.”
Chrissa seemed to think about something for a while, then opened her mouth again.
“…If you retrieve it, this child will die. However, this child cannot be held accountable for what happened due to the mistakes of the dragons. Perhaps the child will take a test for qualifications.”
It was a very upsetting story.
If he fails the test, he will retrieve the dragon heart, which means that the dragons will kill Barlinan.
“I don’t want to confront the Balaur, Miss Kriesha.”
“I will personally help the child take the test.
It’s bound to be unpleasant to you, but trust me.”
“Then, Krisha, I will follow Val Reinan’s wishes. If this kid accepts the test, I will let him go, and if not, he won’t be able to take the test even if he has to fight the Balaur.”
It was uncomfortable for Yuma to speak so strongly to Chrisa.
However, as it was a matter at stake for Ballinan’s life, he could not yield.
However, Ballinan, who had just woken up, was nodding madly at Yuma.
The swaying dragon heart protruding from his forehead had a strange cuteness that did not suit the situation.
“I’ll do it! Let’s take a test! Brother feet!”
“This stupid kid? could die didn’t you hear As soon as I wake up, I hear that I am going to sleep!”
“I will become a wizard! That’s why I followed my brother!”
Yuma had no choice but to wave his hands as he touched his forehead.
‘I should have waited 5 seconds for Kriesha-sama before answering… You didn’t just speak inconveniently with your voice down.’
Kriesha smiled and patted Yuma’s shoulder as if she knew everything.
As soon as she woke up, she screamed frantically at the news that she had ‘got magical power’, but as soon as she remembered Aidan, Valie Nun’s face darkened in an instant.
Sensing such an atmosphere, Yuma approached Ballinan and covered his eyes. So that Aidan doesn’t see being judged.
“Brother, I’m fine. It happened because I ran away from home. Aidan wouldn’t have become like this if I hadn’t run away…?”
“I don’t know what test you’re going to take, but if you go and learn something. Learn not to think that everything is your fault. Come, Ballinan. You did nothing wrong.”
