9th Class Sword Master: The Guardian of the Sword Chapter 409

Episode 409

Episode 133. The first dragon Freega Mati Wu (2)

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a tall and tall door. There is no door like this where the Most High of the earth dwells.”

Duran looked at the door and said.

Marlon couldn’t take his eyes off the strange door. It was an infinitely taller gate compared to the entrance to the Black Wolf Citadel.

[It’s common in the underworld, Duran. If you’ve ever seen your lord’s throne in the underworld, you’ll know that this Cat Gate is nothing.]

“Thanks to taking good care of this disciple, I’ll be treated well even after I die. Anyway… I don’t think they’ll open it, so I’ll just break it down. I don’t even like it.”

Just as Duran lifted his Star Buster, Yuma blocked his way.

“I can feel that my scattered magical energy is concentrated beyond this door, whether it’s Master’s seal. Before I break it, I’ll put my sword in that groove just once. Somehow that seems to be the key.”

“Hmm, do that.”

Ascalon will show you the way.

It was what Kriesha said at Innzvikan. She wouldn’t have brought that up for nothing. Yuma felt that if he broke this door, it would cause unnecessary trouble.

Kgeugguk…

As I pushed the Ascalon into the groove in the middle of the door, I felt a soft friction. As expected, the home fit perfectly, as if it were made for Ascalon.

Treasure of the Zach family, who had a history of killing two dragons.

Even within Zach, Ascalon was not very clear. It had existed since the beginning of the family, and it was only certain that it was the sword that killed two dragons.

Even so, the significance of Ascalon standing in the Zach family was great. It was because only the strongest knight in the family could own the Ascalon, and the sword itself was a great sword that would never be seen again on earth.

That’s why when Duran handed over Ascalon he owned to Yuma, the main members of the family, including Damian, were so angry. Of course, since it was Duran’s order, he couldn’t show his anger carelessly.

Whoops!

When the sword fully entered the groove, a magic circle began to draw on the door like paint spreading.

It was a black magic circle that seemed to absorb all the light, but strangely, it was not threatening or ominous.

“Hoo what?”

[It seems to be ancient magic. I don’t know exactly.] As

Yuma watched the magic circle being drawn, he remembered the conversation he had with Kriesha in the past.

-This is the sword that killed two of my own people. Duran Zac… Looks like Ascalon is still owned by Zach.

The story Kriesha told when she first saw the name engraved on Ascalon’s blade.

Since she did not know Duran Jacques at the time, she said, thinking of the progenitor of the ‘Jacques’ family.

-Two of my own people aren’t just dead, so don’t worry. No, it was an existence that had to be destroyed.

What Kriesha described as an existence that must be destroyed was a demonic dragon called ‘Kuzarato’. The Zach family made a Star Buster for Duran while keeping the bones obtained from defeating Kujarato.

And the magic circle drawn on the door right now was the dragon word magic left by Kujarato himself.

[Lord Lord!]

“Disciple!”

Bang!

Thousands of hands suddenly came out of the magic circle and grabbed Yuma.

Duran reacted immediately and fired an aura blade, but Yuma was already caught in his hands and dragged into the magic circle.

The Ascalon that Yuma had plugged into the groove was also gone.

The magic circle was still glowing black, but only Yuma and his sword had disappeared.

“Damn it! Rakir What happened to this? You stupid disciple, let’s just break it!”

[Wait a minute! Duran! Stop!]

The moment Duran was about to hit the magic circle with his Star Buster, Rakir hurriedly stopped him.

“Why! They say my apprentice was taken inside that strange magic circle!”

[Calm down! Seeing the thousands of hands that just popped out, I know for sure what this magic is. If you touch the magic circle now, the master may never come back.]

“What…?”

[This is a summoning magic. Of beings who have already died but have not yet gone to the underworld.]

“Please explain in an understandable way.”

[In extremely rare cases, beings with great power do not come to the underworld even after they die and create their own magic space. Mainly dragons and the lineage of beast kings do that a lot… From the point of view of the underworld, they are very difficult.]

Rakir, relieved to see Duran’s excitement, began to explain carefully.

His explanation was this.

Among the transcendental beings, those with high powers had their souls maintained for a certain period of time even after death.

Usually, even if the soul is maintained, it was common to go to the underworld soon.

However, there was also a case of confining oneself in a magical space by exerting power in the spirit state.

It was mainly due to resentment or regret, but it was said that when a special object or human approached the magic space created in that way, the summoning would take place.

[It’s probably a magic circle created by a being who had a grudge against the master’s sword after he died. Seeing the magic circle open in response to Ascalon. It’s the first time I’ve experienced it, so I didn’t think of it before.]

“Ha! In other words, did you use this magic to get revenge even after death?”

[yes. Even in the underworld, beings who confined themselves in the magical space after death cannot be taken by force. Because it creates a magical space inside things like that, it’s as if you’re in the human world, so you can’t intervene.]

Rakir pointed to the door and said.

“Damn it. If you can wait until you achieve your revenge even after death, wouldn’t all transcendentalists do that?”

[No, usually it’s better to return to the underworld when you die. Unless there is a special bad relationship with the lords of the underworld. The beings who trapped their souls in the magical space… can’t do anything during that period.]

The probability of the summoning conditions being met was extremely slim. If Yuma hadn’t returned, Ascalon wouldn’t have been able to activate that magic circle until the end of human history.

[It’s literally that you can’t do anything. If you’re lucky, it might be activated in a few years, but you have to endure the eons of time completely alone. Because there is nothing but yourself in the magic space. How would you feel if you were alone for thousands of years?] “I don’t know.”

[Thousands of years is a long time even for dragons. Especially if you can’t feel hunger, drowsiness, joy, pain, or anything during that time. So, I usually don’t do that kind of thing and go to the underworld smoothly.]

“Anyway, why shouldn’t that damn door be broken down?”

[This is because the magic space collapses and the caster as well as the master sucked into it die.

Just as if you collapse a cave, everyone inside will naturally die. The lord can come out only when he fights and defeats a terrible soul who has only harbored vengeance for a long time in the magic space.]

As Rakir continued to talk in frustration, Duran’s eyes widened.

“You mean if you catch the one inside, the magic will break?”

[yes. If that happens, the magic space will disappear.]

“Ha ha ha!”

Duran, who was making a futile expression, suddenly burst into laughter. Marlon shook his head, wondering if this nobleman was going crazy for losing his apprentice.

“Then you can wait comfortably! There is no way my apprentice can defeat anything within that magic space.”

After deciding that, Duran sat down and asked for a pipe.

* * * On the other hand, Yuma, who has been captured in Kujarato’s magic space, is having a strange experience.

‘What is this…? Did you get sucked into the magic circle? Or is it beyond this door? I don’t think it’s from another dimension.’

When the unique aura spread and sensed, mana was overflowing everywhere.

However, it was a completely different feeling from the magical power of Freega Matiu that he had felt until just now. It was similar to him, but darker and duller than that.

[I’ve been waiting for a long time••…]

I heard that word somewhere.

And after blinking once, Yuma could see a black dragon standing in front of her.

The black dragon had a fairly large body compared to other dragons Yuma had seen so far. It was a bit smaller than the golems he had fought before, but the sense of intimidation was incomparable to those of golems.

“Are you Friga Matiu?”

Yuma naturally thought that the dragon would be Freega Matiu. I was convinced that this place was not inside the magic circle, but the space beyond the door.

[Zach’s lineage is still arrogant. Where did you hear that name?]

“What are you. Isn’t Frie Matiu? You talk like it’s not your name.”

[…]

The dragon let out a deep breath and stared at Yuma. As if you weren’t there.

Yuma lightly met the dragon’s murderous gaze and just shrugged.

“And I’m not of Zach’s blood. What was it like outside? Answer me, Friga Mathiu.”

Yuma’s voice was sharp when he answered because of the unlucky rhetoric peculiar to the Balaur that spoke of arrogance.

[What did he just say?]

“What happened outside?”

[Did you say that you are not Zach’s bloodline…?]

“So you are the first dragon, Friga Matiu? Strangely obsessed with Zach. Besides, the mana I felt all along in the sealed cage and your mana are a bit different.”

[I asked if it was Zach…]

“I am Yuma Drake. not zack I think you need some time to introduce yourself. Who the hell are you?”

Kujarato couldn’t accept Yuma’s answer.

Indeed, for a long time… I’ve been waiting for the lineage of Zach who killed himself to come back with Ascalon once again.

The little human in front of me was talking about himself, not Zach.

A sharp current flowed between Yuma and Kujarato.

Aaaaaagh!

It was Kujarato who acted first. Unable to believe the reality was not even funny, he let out a roar close to screaming.

Yuma instantly manifested a rigid body to protect himself. It was a roar filled with energy that would tear a tolerable unmanned body to pieces just by facing it.

[If it wasn’t Zach, why did you come here with Ascalon!

I only have one chance!]

“What are you saying? I’m going to go out Do you have a grudge against the Zach family?”

[My name is Kujarato! Free is Matiu’s son and has been waiting here to take revenge on Zach!]

“I don’t know what’s going on, but if that’s the case, there’s no reason why we can’t fight. Because my teacher is the head of the Zach family that you are looking for so much.”

[Shut up!]

Whoa!

Kujarato’s huge front claws scratched the spot where Yuma was standing. Like the golem, it was unbelievably fast to do something like this.

jeoyoung!

Yuma didn’t hesitate to dodge the attack, but raised his sword to face it. The attack was so heavy and strong that it made me think that it was Hugo’s kaiten, not a dragon’s paw.
