EPISODE.57
Anger -.
When I opened the subspace, the first thing I grabbed was a long horn.
‘Dragon God’s horn purification of wind…’
It has reached the 6th circle beyond the 5th circle.
Right now, it wouldn’t matter if I accepted the power contained in the horn.
But, nevertheless, Russell did not do that. He put the horn in his hand back to its place.
‘Because I don’t know how long it will take to absorb the horns.’
Considering that it took several days to absorb the horns with the attribute of fire or the horns with the attribute of lightning, it would be the same this time as well.
‘It’s the same with magic stones.’
What Russell wanted to check now was the ‘???’ he received as a reward.
‘Is it a map or is it an artifact…’
In the case of the former, there might be clues related to another dragon, and in the case of the latter, it could be used in various ways depending on its effect.
In fact, the Cloudy Ring and Golden Mask obtained earlier were also of great help to Russell.
The thing I took out with that thought was an artifact.
A mask made of the same material as the one I got the day before, only the appearance was different.
‘Is this also a type of mask-type artifact?’
If the previous one was a mask in the form of a bird’s beak that covered half of the face, the one obtained this time was an ordinary one with no special features.
Woo woo-.
As soon as my fingertips touch it, the name of the mask and information begin to flow into my head.
‘The second golden mask.’
As the name suggests, it was clear that it was a pair with the ‘first golden mask’ obtained the previous day.
‘If the first mask was an object that assists thinking and calculation…’
The second one had the power to increase immunity to curses in proportion to the user’s ability.
‘It’s something that will help when fighting the cultists.’
They were cultists who must have been involved in some way with their father’s death.
I had one more weapon to fight against those guys.
That’s why Russell smiled faintly.
Checking the rewards ends there. After closing the subspace again, he tossed and turned inside the sleeping bag.
‘Now the 6th circle…’
To be honest, I still couldn’t believe it.
However, the existence of the sixth circle felt in her heart was by no means an illusion.
Woo woo woo-.
As he swung his magic power, a total of six circles began to rotate slowly.
Each of them showed their presence.
Along with him, the second magical formula created in selflessness floated around in my head.
‘Falling Sun.’
I never thought I would be inspired by the sunset.
‘The income of this overseas study is much bigger than expected.’
It was completely unexpected, but a coincidence like this was always welcome.
‘I think it’ll be okay to make plans to go to the Kuril Islands soon.’
The 6th circle could be said to be the minimum baseline that he had set himself to ensure safety in the Kuril Islands.
Since that baseline was exceeded, I felt that I could set up a schedule sooner or later.
Of course, that did not mean that he would immediately leave for the Kuril Islands upon his return.
Because it hadn’t been long since I crossed the wall.
First of all, I needed time to observe the situation and observe the status of the circle.
After that, I needed time to absorb the dragon king’s horn.
‘Will I be able to move again in about half a year?’
Thinking so, Russell quietly closed his eyes.
I wonder if it was the aftermath of using my brain power to the limit to break through the wall, even though it was only three hours or so.
Somehow, soma poured out.
some time after that.
Vermillion shrugged as he heard the faint sound leaking out of the tent.
“It looks like the priest was very tired.”
Do-Rong Do-Rong-.
* * *
The return time was several days faster than the departure time.
It has to be.
When I first started, I needed time to find the passage to the Underworld, but when I returned, I just had to return straight the same way.
Woo woo woo-.
The space movement magic circle installed in the salt tower emits light, and Hwaaak!
With the jolt of magical power, two men walked out from beyond the halo of light.
It was Russell and Vermillion.
Dduk Dduk -.
As soon as he came out of the warp gate, Vermillion moved all over his body and made a bone sound.
Then he murmured as if it were cool.
“Ah, I think I’ll live for a while.”
“Could it be that you wiped away the aftereffects of the warp gate with it?”
“hmm? yes. It’s like motion sickness.”
It’s not like there are muscles in the semicircular canals. To shake off the symptoms of motion sickness by making bone sounds a few times.
“First of all, let’s go and give the report to Master.”
Vermilion smiled broadly as she patted him on the shoulder, who was wearing a tired expression.
“Perhaps Master will be very pleased when he sees the achievements of the priests.”
Just like that.
Woo woo ding-.
The moment Russell and Vermillion reach the top floor with the tower’s main room through the floating stone.
[You’re back. my disciples By the way…]
A voice came from inside the closed door.
[…Couldn’t he have crossed the wall again in the meantime? Just-]
“-Pay?”
Knock-!
He was so surprised that he slammed out the door even before the second voice was over and spoke in a voice.
Seeing that, Vermillion laughed as if he agreed.
‘You deserve it.’
He didn’t express himself so as not to affect the youngest priest who had just crossed the wall, but Vermillion was also horrified.
From Daria’s point of view, it was as if a disciple who went abroad to study as a Master of the 5th Circle came back over a wall in just one month.
Looking at the mischievous face of the teacher who didn’t match, Russell smiled faintly.
“There have been some achievements in foreign travel research.”
“her. No matter how much I went abroad to study to look around the world, after only seven months of mastering the 5th circle…”
Breaking down that wall and doing the 6th circle.
I wondered if this would make sense from Daria’s point of view as well.
I thought maybe Russell had a talent that surpassed him, but it was so beyond imagination.
‘I thought it would take at least a few more years…’
Should I praise him for doing this well or should I tell him he’s a real monster?
Whatever the case may be, she is a great mage who has reached the 8th Circle.
My worries were short and the answer was wise.
‘When I’m in trouble, I can do both.’
With a simple conclusion, he opened his mouth.
“Although he is my disciple, the more I look at him, the more I admire him. What a monster you are. Good job. good job.”
He patted the back of his youngest student’s hand like that and praised(?) for several minutes.
Suddenly, a certain promise passed through her mind.
It was a dinner appointment with Hemingway Melville, the window tower owner, scheduled for this evening.
‘It’s really worth seeing that old man’s expression.’
With a giggly smile, her eyes, which finished imagining the fun situation that would follow in a moment, drew an arc and ran all over Russell’s body.
‘Let’s see…’
As she is also a wizard, she was curious about how Russell overcame the wall of the 6th circle.
‘To find out, there’s nothing more accurate than actual combat.’
Thinking so, she took out a lollipop candy from her bosom and chewed it.
“Then let’s take a look at our proud maknae’s skills today.”
.
.
Daria took Russell and Vermillion to the large magic gymnasium located in the basement of the Flame Tower.
There are two reasons why the Colosseum was not chosen as the location.
In order to borrow the Colosseum, not only do I need to go through various procedures, but even though it was a real battle, it wasn’t a proper combat situation right now.
This situation was only for Daria Snowwhite, the great mage who had reached the 8th Circle, to check the student’s growth.
Even in the same real life, there was a difference from then.
Standing in the middle of the underground arena, she continued to chew on a lollipop, now about half shrunk.
wow wow.
“I am the youngest.”
“yes. Master.”
Wrong.
“Do you remember practicing in the basement of our house during vacation?”
“of course.”
Wow.
“Should the rules be the same as back then? Oh, of course, since your skills have improved, you may have to increase the number a bit.”
Instead of answering, Russell raised his mana to the teacher, who crumbled the lollipop stick and giggled.
Woo woo woo-.
Six circles spin simultaneously and roar. The corners of Daria’s mouth twitched at the answer that was more certain than anything else.
Then, the air around her seemed to boil, and the moment she scattered the lollipop pieces in her hand.
Roaring-.
Dozens along the air.
No, there were hundreds of wisps of flame.
Soon, features and limbs began to appear around them, and soon they turned into a perfect sergeant of flame.
Daria Snowwhite
Originality.
Firewood dwarfs.
Hwarak Hwarak-.
She can summon up to 777 dwarves.
The number of dwarfs summoned now wasn’t crazy enough, but it was about half of the maximum.
Considering that each one of them had stronger power than a fair number of knights, it was a force that could easily capture at least one small territory or fortress.
Besides, Daria’s magic wasn’t over yet.
Hwaaak-.
Once again, the mana seemed to vibrate wildly, and some of the dwarves that poured out gathered together and transformed into giants.
Daria Snowwhite.
Originality Transformer.
The giant king of firewood.
Hwa-oh-!
Several pyrotechnic giants several meters high roared at Russell.
‘In the past, even dealing with one of those things was too much for me.’
If there were as many as five ordinary wizards with such flame giants, it was a sight that would have made them collapse in despair.
But Russell didn’t.
He was no longer an ordinary wizard, and his skills were not the same as before.
“Whoa-.”
short deep breath.
How should I deal with that legion of flames? There were many ways that came to mind.
‘It will take a long time, but there will be a way to float several Gaebolgs and pierce them one by one…’
Conversely, there will be a way to sweep them away using hundreds of water-based low-circle magic.
It’s impossible to have as many as that number, but like Master, there was a way to summon the flame dwarfs and set them on fire.
‘But no.’
They were methods, but not what Daria Snowwhite, her master, wanted to see.
What she wanted to test now was Russell’s ability in the 6th circle.
‘I’ll have to show you.’
Without the slightest hesitation, Russell cast the spell.
As many as six circles rotated, huge magic power was raised.
right after.
Roaring-!
The flames that arose with the momentum to cover the ceiling of the underground gymnasium began to gather in a circle.
“Falling Sun-.”
The sun has gone down.
The sunset spread.
Whoaaah-!
dragon-swallowed wizard
