EPISODE.67
Russell pursed his lips.
“Sacred instrument…”
I muttered the name involuntarily.
“Brahmastra.”
It was both divine and magical at the same time.
──────!
Even though I couldn’t reach it, I could feel the height of it.
could also know
That this object is a power that the current self could never handle.
It was a conclusion that came from instinct rather than something based.
It was then.
[Take it.]
As the dragon’s head bowed, the auspicious light from the sacred god floated in the air.
The dawn has begun to shine!
Hwaaak!
The rays of light and prominences that came out like a skein of thread along the sacred flag instantly covered Russell’s whole body.
It turned into a huge ball of fire and consumed his entire body.
“Kuh-!”
The intense pain in his body, as if the mana load of his whole body was burning, raised his head without rest.
It seemed that fire ants or hedgehogs were making a fuss along the Mana Road.
Moment by moment, shocks strong enough to turn my brain white, continued to rush in.
Meanwhile, Russell gritted his teeth.
‘You must not faint.’
It was because he noticed that what was flowing through the mana road wasn’t just magic power.
It was Russell who already had a high level of fire attribute understanding.
Therefore, if it was simply fire-attribute magic, the intense pain would not have been felt.
Why do you still feel the pain?
It was because the identity of what was spinning the mana rod right now was both a verbal spirit in the form of magical power and a formula.
Every time the magical energy that ran through the body surged into his brain, the power of high-level formulas and eloquent spirits hit his head.
After that, the understanding of Brahmastra soared exponentially.
‘The 9th circle…’
is a power that may have transcended even that.
As expected at first, the current self could never handle this magic.
no.
‘If you really want to use it, you might be able to.’
However, the risk was too great to do so.
‘Even if I use more than 90% of the mana I have now, one shot is the best.’
It’s a magic that can be completed with more than 10 minutes of hard work.
It is too dangerous to use in practice.
‘Of course, it can be used as a trump card, but…’
Russell could not continue the accident.
Magic that transcends the 9th circle.
This is because his brain had already reached its limit just by containing the magic in its entirety.
“Turn it off-.”
It was as if he was taking out the brain with his bare hands and kneading it.
Even that wasn’t enough, until nosebleeds poured out.
Pooh-!
The blood that flowed out dyed the front seat red.
As if it was the result of overworking his brain to the limit, cold sweat began to flow all over his body.
No matter how much Russell is, it is impossible to hold out any longer.
It was clear that the limit would come in a few minutes at the most.
Obviously, it would have been like this.
However.
Aaaaaang!
The walls that were restricting Russell’s brain collapsed with an explosion of noise in his head.
Along with that, areas of the brain expand and begin to rebuild.
The ‘cognition’, ‘understanding’, and ‘intuition’ that grew together sucked up the remaining words and formulas like cotton in contact with water.
Whoaaah-!
Another form of growth that the circle rises.
however nonetheless.
Russell couldn’t feel the joy of the moment.
It was Russell’s consciousness that had already been abused to the limit.
The explosion that occurred at the moment the area of the brain widened There was no way I could withstand the explosion.
‘Ah…’
I felt my consciousness gradually blur, and in the midst of that, the voice of the fire dragon flowed into my ears.
[Brahmastra.]
[It is the god-slaying spear created by his spouse and ancestor of the little master.] [
Its power is such that even a half-god can be knocked down at once, and even a completed godhead can be cut down. ….]
[As our new god, lead the newly born children well.]
[The new owner, Dragon Emperor.]
I hope your words are conveyed to the fallen little master.
Hoping so, the shape of the fire dragon moved his gaze.
With slightly sorrowful eyes, she stared alternately at her egg, which had no life force, and at Pepper, who was whimpering next to Russell.
-Garreuk ppuk ppuk….
Perhaps he was worried about the collapsed Russell, but unlike usual, it was a sad cry.
The shape of the fire dragon opened its mouth towards Pepper.
[Don’t worry. The little master just fainted for a while from fatigue, but he’ll come to his senses soon.]
He continued.
[Originally, I wanted my child to serve this person by my side, but fate didn’t allow him.]
Glarreuk-?
[So I beg you, if it’s okay, would you pass on this power?]
Gyareuk?
[Even though it’s a spirit, it’s a mutant. If you’ve inherited even a small amount of the dragon’s factor, it should be possible…]
The dragon’s shape starts to blur little by little.
[I hope you will become a new Fire Dragon and be with your little master. Also, I earnestly hope that you will continue the dragon lineage.]
After those words, the dragon’s shape changed into sparks and scattered in all directions.
Hwaaak!
As if dozens of fireflies were taking off at the same time, the sparks soared into the air and gradually lost their light.
Gyareuk-.
Pepper, who remained in her seat and tilted her head, looked back and forth between Russell and Al.
As if he had finally decided on something, he threw himself towards the place where the egg was.
Paddak!
* * *
My consciousness was hazy.
dream.
It was a literal confusion in which he could not even tell where he was and why he was here.
In that hazy dream, Russell’s consciousness was following the footsteps of a certain man.
The background is a battlefield.
I didn’t know which battlefield it was. What was certain was that it was not a war between humans.
giant.
Humans were fighting a war with giants, each one over tens of meters in size.
────────────!!
Every time the giants let out a roar, the human’s military spirit was wildly shaken.
The morale has gone downhill. Some of them slumped down in their seats, lost their will to fight, and even urinated.
However, there were those who shined nonetheless. Despite being inferior, those who inflame the military discipline.
The black-haired man was one of them. Every time the black-haired man swung the sword in his hand, rays of light poured out like waves.
The giant, struck by the waves of pouring light, collapses on the spot.
Kwoaaaaaa-!
The problem was the number of giants.
Hundreds of giants, each one with superhuman strength.
It was obviously difficult for the black-haired man to turn the tide of the war alone.
Little by little, despair begins to creep toward the human camp.
That moment-!
A small figure fell through the sky. I landed next to the black-haired man.
widely-.
Like the man, she was a woman with long black hair and a noble look.
The moment the woman appeared, the giants, who had been rampaging wildly, poured out their anger at once.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was a roar that shook the earth and made the eardrums burst.
‘Ugh-!’
Even Russell, who was only conscious, shuddered.
However, the woman did not tremble. Instead of trembling in fear, he glared at them with an arrogant gaze and drew in his breath.
Suu-!
There is an illusion that all of the magic power is sucked into the woman.
The woman’s body swelled up so much that it looked like it would explode at any moment.
She cast off her human form and transformed into a giant dragon.
An overwhelming size that could be twice as large as the Fire Dragon we just saw.
Beautiful scales as if carved from obsidian. And even several horns growing along the head.
The moment he checked the number of horns, Russell was able to recognize the woman’s identity.
‘The Dragon King-!’
The identity of the dragon in the form of a woman was the Dragon God King.
The Dragon God King’s scales begin to glow after receiving the magic light.
The moment when a bright light lingers along her lips!
it spewed out
──────────────!!!!
The fireworks went off faster than the sound of the explosion.
Prominences shot out in a straight line and ran like a beam of light, penetrating between the giants.
Not only did some of the giants hit directly disappear without leaving their proper shape, but the radiant heat alone melted the skin of some of the giants.
In one blow, not only the terrain was razed, but also several mountains located in the orbit were completely penetrated.
The dragon breath that is said to have the strongest power in the material world. Among them, it is the breath of the dragon god king.
If you can use a breath like that over and over again, changing the battle situation will be easier than flipping the palm of a child.
However, unfortunately.
It seemed unreasonable for even the Dragon God King to use his breath over and over again.
Giving up the form of a dragon and returning to the form of a woman is proof of that.
For an instant, the black-haired man picked up the staggering woman’s waist.
The Dragon King smiled faintly.
With a smile, she opened the subspace and handed the man something that had been waiting for her.
[Now I added my horn to the divinity of six of the gods who left this land.]
[My savior from the other world and my companion.
] It has power…]
[This will be the torch that will guide you.] The
Dragon God King’s voice was the same as the one he heard the day before.
Russell narrowed his eyes.
‘That’s…’
The staff Geochang or Sal (虄).
‘Brahmastra.’
The moment he recognized the name, the world around him changed completely.
-!!
Consciousness plummeted in an instant and fell into reality.
!!
* * *
“Grunt.”
Russell opened his eyes with a pained sound and slowly raised himself.
‘Somehow, I felt a bit uncomfortable.’
Not only was the front of her nose covered in blood, but her entire body was wet with cold sweat.
Wow-.
Besides, this is a volcanic area.
Because of the magma flowing beneath the ground, the geothermal heat was much higher than in other places.
‘I was taking a sauna in a place like that.’
It wouldn’t be strange that the whole body was covered in sweat.
“after-.”
Russell let out a short breath.
Wasak, wasak-.
I felt a little uncomfortable to keep wearing the sweaty clothes, but I couldn’t help it.
‘Because I have to go back under the water when I go back.’
You will have to change your clothes after that. Thinking so, Russell closed his eyes.
Wow-.
Could it be because the area of the brain has improved?
Feeling calmer than before, I thought about the content of the dream I had just had.
‘What kind of dream is that?’
To accept a memory that never belonged to oneself through a dream.
‘Is it the influence of Brahmastra?’
Wasasak-!
Russell’s thoughts went no further.
‘But why did the crunching sound keep coming from earlier?’
Gyareuk?
When he turned his head, Pepper was looking at him with wide eyes.
The remains of an egg that looked like a volcanic bomb were smeared around his mouth.
“uh-?”
Pepper was eating the eggs of the fire dragon. Pepper tilted his head at Russell, who was perplexed.
gurgling?
It was innocent eyes, as if he didn’t know anything.
dragon-swallowed wizard
