Episode 133. The first dragon, Freega Matiu (1)
After the golem died, there was silence.
However, the inside of the dragon that was moving the golem was still glowing red. Although it was stabbed by Ascalon, a large crack formed in the straight sphere.
Even when Ascalon was taken out, the red dragon’s face was still floating in the air.
Yuma, who had been staring at Yong’s for a while, was about to reach out, but a blue light suddenly spread from behind.
[Don’t touch me.]
A clear voice that I’ve only heard a few times but will never forget. It was the fully manifested voice of Grandmaster Pidgin Carta.
Turning around, Yuma saw her and lightly bowed.
Because of her manifestation, Zeka was in a state of unconsciousness.
“Oh, is it really Pidgin Carta? It’s a completely different feeling than when my car ran out of control and forced it out.”
[Duran Zach is my junior. Thanks to you, I’ve been out of control often over the past month.]
“It’s the first time I’ve seen it like this, so nice to see you.”
The two exchanged greetings as if they had known each other before. He must have been so, too, that Duran had subdued Pidgin, who had woken up after running out of control while on his way to Tejiz several times.
However, there seemed to be no ill feeling towards him. Rather, Pidgin felt a crush on Duran, which stemmed from a sense of kinship with him as the same grandmaster.
“It’s been a while, Pidgin. I guess you came because of this Yongan.”
[Yes. I was worried that the turbid energy of that red dragon’s face might mix with you.]
Pijin moved toward Yuma.
As she got closer, the dragon’s eyes in the air swayed unsteadily.
At that moment, Yuma realized that an extremely ominous energy was welling up from the Dragon’s Eye.
And that the power is strangely similar to Hugo’s energy.
“This…
[The black dragon’s hybrid eye is a dangerous item that can destroy the world if it runs out of control. You don’t know how surprised I was when I felt the power from Hugo when I first became conscious.]
“Dragon Lord Mahatrisha also said something similar.”
Before leaving for Tejiz, Yuma heard from Mahatrisa that Rizol had an eye on Hugo.
-A child named Hugo got a dragon face from Vercis, a descendant of Frigga, but the original owner of the dragon is also Frigga. A dragon with the power to destroy the world. That’s why it seemed that Rizol was paying attention to him.
-Lizol’s Hugo…?
-If Frigga’s seal is broken, his dragon’s eyes will explode. I won’t be able to handle the runaway even if the dragons come out. Yuma There is a fact you should know.
When Hugo’s Dragon Eye runs out of control, even all the dragons can’t handle it.
That meant that the world would end. If the Balaur couldn’t handle it, it was the same for humans.
[Of course, this is not the dragon of Freega Matiu. It was probably the Dragon Eye that his spirit family possessed. But even so, it’s too dangerous and ominous.]
“What will happen when Yongan runs out of control?”
[The red dragon’s eye summons another power of the void. It was something my father often said.]
Hwa was a god who ruled over one more thing besides the void.
Hunger. Hwa, the god of emptiness and hunger.
Another power of emptiness that Pidgin mentioned was, of course, ‘hunger’. The red dragon’s eye was an item that controlled the user and made it swallow all living things in the world like a hungry ghost.
Of course, Yuma had no intention of having a dragon face. It was just a natural stretch of the hand, and even if the power of the Dragon’s Eye had been activated, it would not have been able to dominate Yuma.
However, as Pijin said before, he was worried that Yuma would be exposed to that ‘muddy energy’.
The more important and dangerous things are, the more perfect it is.
Pidgin was aware that even with a one in ten thousand chance, if a strong human like Yuma were corrupted by the power of the dragon’s eye, there would be no turning back.
And Pidgin’s worries weren’t just unfounded.
When Pidgin brought Siveline closer, the blade of the spear began to turn bright red like blood.
[It was good that I came out. It must have been tiring for your teacher.]
“Yes?”
[The dragon’s energy is overwhelmingly stronger than the outside. It’s probably because Free and Matiu are nearby…]
Golems were originally created to deal with Resol.
However, Friga Matiu knew the power of the magician called Rizol better than anyone else. That Golem alone couldn’t deal with Rizol.
That’s why Frigga hid a trap in the golem. using the red dragon’s eye.
The dragon’s eye used on the golem was set so that it could eat the target ‘just by touching it’. It was a concept similar to a kind of self-destruction, but in fact, even that was not at the level of inflicting a serious blow on Rizol.
[I’ll hold down the dragon’s energy with Cybeline. Still, it’s dangerous until Free solves Matiu’s seal, so I’d better leave Zecca here.]
“Can’t I seal the golem like I just tied it up?”
[I don’t know if Freega is not close to Matiu, but it would be impossible now. it’s dangerous too
In the first place, the Red Dragon’s Eye was supposed to go out of control even outside of Frigga’s influence.]
Had it not been for the Dragon Spear, Sybelin, filled with Hatrianu’s power, it wouldn’t have been easy to suppress the Red Dragon’s Eye, even for the manifested Pi Jin Carta.
Red dragon’s eyes and runaway.
From the moment Pidgin heard about it, Yuma cared about Hugo.
The Dragon Eye of Freega Matiu’s spirit family is so dangerous, but Hugo’s Dragon Eye was Freega Mathiu’s own.
According to Pidgin, it means that it is not strange to run out of control at any time.
‘I don’t think Captain Hugo’s death before the return has anything to do with it. Mahatrisha also said that Rizol is keeping an eye on her.’
When Hugo recalled the scene where Frie ran away with Matiu’s red dragon’s eyes, he shook his head.
If such a terrible situation occurred, it was obvious that humans would die on the level of a world war.
The one who benefits the most from the process will by far be Hwa.
That would mean that the world is getting closer to the void.
It’s not certain, but Yuma feels like he’s finally found a clue to understanding Hugo’s death before returning.
‘Captain Hugo wasn’t killed by someone like Cagor. There is a high probability that he was killed by Risol.’
If Free kills Mathieu now and eliminates the possibility of Yongan runaway, will Rizole stop targeting Hugo?
Thinking that far, I laughed inwardly.
You’re worried about Grand Master Ogre Slayer.
It seemed that he was the only one in the world worried that that human would be killed.
“Hey Pidgin Carta. If the red dragon’s face is such a dangerous thing, then doesn’t the magic bullet’s Hugo have anything to do with it? If he runs out of control, I don’t think there will be an answer.”
Duran, who was listening, asked. He, too, was thinking the same thing as Yuma.
“Lord Duran, our boss is not a person who would succumb to such an eye candy.”
“I know this baby too. Do you have water?”
“That too!”
baek!
Marlon got a blow to the back of the head for no reason and scratched his head.
[I don’t think it matters, Duran. Until now, it seems that they have been controlling it through the grandmaster’s mental power or some special method, but if Freega Matiu wakes up, he will definitely run out of control.] “
Hmm! Then I must go and slay the dragon. I don’t want to pick a match with a guy with bad taste. Because we have to fight together someday.”
“Pidgin, just in case you don’t know, I’ll leave Marlon as well.”
[Why?]
“That’s right… If an enemy appears while holding down the energy of the red dragon’s eye.”
[Hahaha, even though I have broken the providence and manifested, I am not weak enough to need an escort. And for me, who has already become a spirit soul, this turbid energy is not very dangerous.]
Yuma smiled bitterly and nodded.
She appeared in a normal state, but in fact she had already died and was sealed away by Jeka as a vengeful spirit.
Originally, she could only manifest for a very short time, but now she was using the power of the dragon’s eyes to the opposite side to maintain her manifestation.
Yuma was able to grasp that fact through his unique aura. He could feel the power of the Dragon’s Eye assimilating with her and being purified by Cybeline. It’s like burning oil.
“If you permit me to meet you in the underworld someday, I would like to present you with a belated freedom even then, Mr. Pidgin.”
[I heard it through Jeka.
That you defeated the god of death and usurped his throne. Let’s look forward to it. Now, let’s go.]
The party left Pidgin and Zecca in the forest and started moving again.
There were no more enemies in the forest. The group expected that the golem they had just killed might be the last guardian of the seal.
[If there were dragons, even the golems in Yongin, they would have gone back without being able to penetrate them, Lord. Kyaha haha! And congratulations on winning the duel!]
Duran’s eyes widened when he brought up a question he had forgotten for a while.
“hmm! Rakir, you don’t have to do it..
“Kya, I didn’t know Sir Duran would lose to Yuma. Hey, how does it feel to defeat your master? I also want to fight against our boss and win…
“You say you look a lot like my nephew who is like my asshole. Talk more and I’ll grab your jaw and rip it off.”
[Don’t be too hard on Duran’s idiot. Anyway, I can’t understand my lord. Doesn’t it matter if you have several wives and concubines when you become a lord? My lord tends to favor Natalie too much.]
At least Catherine doesn’t beat me like a dog so easily like Natalie did. He said he would protect the god above the demon king of the underworld at least a little bit.
As Rakir cleared his throat, swallowing the aftertaste, Duran quietly nodded.
“Hmm, second bride… I’ll have to ask Catherine once I get back. Isn’t it right for Natalie to be second? isn’t it? Rakir “Oh! Is this old man really senile? Starting with the duel, why the hell are you doing that? The bottom line is embarrassing to hear…
“Did you just say you were a senile old man to your teacher?”
“I never said anything like that!”
“I heard it clearly with my ears.”
“Let’s go catch Friga Matiuna, hurry!”
Yuma suppressed the bubbling inside and increased the speed. Marlon held back a laugh and got hit by Duran one more time, and Rakir giggled and hit Duran with his hands.
As expected by the party, the enemy was not seen until they had passed through the forest.
Immediately after passing through the forest, the party entered a space with an atmosphere similar to that of the first time they entered the seal.
However, it was not a vast space like the beginning of the seal. There were two stone statues of dragons, and a long door that reached into the sky ran between them.
Upon closer inspection, there was a notch in the door. It was a groove large enough for a single blade to fit through.
