I am not a returner Episode 315
Faded Promise (7)
Oops!
Sticky blood splashed out.
Hot shouts and screams that sound like they will be torn apart.
Weapons were intertwined, and the thick smell of blood covered the battlefield like fog.
“Wow!”
“You crazy witch!”
Thirty demons ran towards the main force led by Isabella.
Their eyes, which sparkled with joy in anticipation of massacre and screams, soon turned into despair.
What brought them despair was the platinum-haired woman who was commanding the dragon people from the front.
The witch, fluttering blood-red flower petals and swinging a huge scythe to cruelly tear apart the body of the demon beast, was overwhelming even the demon race, which was second to none in terms of ferocity.
-Kang! Kagak! Ga-ga-ga-ga-gak!
A resounding metal sound.
Blood-stained petals and black flames were entangled in the air.
“Ugh!”
“Kill! “Kill that witch!”
The demons surrounding Isabella attacked fiercely.
purr!
Poppy, who was running at full speed, quickly turned to the right angle and dodged the barrage of attacks.
“No matter how much you struggle, the kingdom of those stupid slaves has already been destroyed!”
Isabella was riding on Poppy like a knight on a horse, continuing a tense battle with the thirty-year-old demons.
At first, it was Isabella who cut down five demons in an instant with her overwhelming power.
As time passed, the battle gradually became more and more sluggish.
Even if you kill five right from the start, the difference is still more than twenty times that.
Considering that the power of each demon race was at the level of a high-ranking awakened person, the very fact that the battle was becoming ‘slow’ was proof of how absurdly powerful she was.
“Hmm, is that so?”
Isabella smiled darkly and looked back at the ‘slaves’ they had mentioned.
“I don’t think they think so?”
“What….”
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Arrows made of flames accompanied by intense heat were fired targeting the demons.
The magical arrows that rained down caused a strong explosion and created thick dust.
“Ugh… you damn slaves!”
The demons, who had been showered with magic arrows by the dragon race, turned around fiercely baring their teeth.
“Oh, you can’t look away.”
“Hee hee!”
Isabella suddenly appeared behind the demons as they turned, like a scene from a horror movie.
The bloody scythe touched the nape of my neck.
A cool feeling from the blade.
The demon race opened its mouth like a crucian carp and begged as if squeezing.
“Save me…”
Damn!
Hot blood gushed out like a fountain from the cracked nape.
Isabella’s eyebrows furrowed as she dabbed the blood splattered on her cheek with her fingertip and lightly placed it on the tip of her tongue.
“It tastes like beer without the carbonation.”
Tsk.
He spat out blood mixed with saliva as if he was disgusted.
The demon’s head, dripping with blood, was thrown to the floor like trash.
“You damn bitch…!”
“Oh, so you know that the Demons can be angry at the death of their own people?”
Isabella’s eyes shine as if she is interested.
The Majin’s expression distorted at the blatant ridicule.
“How long do you think you can relax like that?”
A demon clan muttering in a murderous voice and glancing back.
The Majin army, which had been divided due to the commotion caused by Vega and Riak, was seen belatedly receiving reinforcements.
It wasn’t easy to fight against thirty demons, but if the divided forces were combined, there was no chance of victory.
“Yes.”
Isabella slowly raised the corners of her mouth as she looked at the demon race running in the distance and the demon beast army they led.
“Then I give up.”
When I knocked on Poppy’s neck a couple of times, she turned around without hesitation and started running away.
Following her, the dragon warriors also turned and fled toward the outside of the kingdom.
“Chase!”
“Do you think you can run away!”
The demons ran after Isabella and the dragons.
‘now.’
A situation where confusion has reached its peak.
Ohjin, who was looking for an opportunity to escape, looked towards Haeun and Kelion.
While Isabella and the warriors of the dragon race captured the attention of the demon race, the three quickly ran towards the dragon god’s lair.
“Come this way!”
Kelion, who was familiar with the kingdom’s geography, took the lead.
The decoy operation must have worked well, as there were no sightings except for a few demon beasts along the way.
Did he run like that for about 20 minutes without stopping?
When we arrived at the end of the kingdom, there was a huge rock wall blocking our way.
“…Is this rare?”
On the outside, it looked like just an ordinary rock.
“Didn’t I tell you? “You wouldn’t know it from the outside.”
indeed.
As Kelion said, it was a place that could not be considered the entrance to Lair where the Dragon God sleeps.
“Immediately unlock the barrier…”
“Wait a minute.”
I approached the rock wall, stopping Kelion from approaching the rock wall.
Ohjin knelt down on one knee, placed his hands on the floor, and examined the traces.
“…there was someone there a little while ago.”
There were traces of not just one or two people, but quite a lot of people wandering around.
Kelion asked with a puzzled expression.
“Are you saying that the demons found the entrance to Lair?”
“yes. “It seems like we haven’t been able to break the barrier.”
Although it seems like he’s away now because of the commotion Isabella caused.
The fact that a large number of people were moving around the rare meant only one thing.
‘Are these guys also aiming for the Dragon God’s rare?’
Ojin’s eyes narrowed.
“…I guess we should hurry.”
“I will lift the barrier right away.”
Kelion approached the rock wall and slammed his staff down.
The wide-spread magical power of the stigmata radiated light and the surrounding ground shook.
Grrrrrrrgh!
The huge rock wall split on both sides, revealing a wide entrance.
A cave covered in darkness, as if a dragon had its mouth open.
“Let’s go, sister.”
“Uh huh.”
Ha-eun, who had been gaping for a moment at the overwhelming scale, nodded and took a step forward.
Hwareuk.
The flame created by Ha-eun illuminated the dark interior of the rare.
“It’s unusually wide.”
Ha-eun looks around her head like a girl who has just come to Seoul from the countryside.
“Which way should I go?”
“It’s this way.”
Fortunately, Kelion walked ahead and seemed to understand the structure of the inside of the lair.
The structure inside the rare was not that complicated.
As I continued down the winding, spiral-shaped road, an open cavity unfolded.
Gun in the center of a wide cavity.
“…Dragon God Kaleios.”
An absurd size of up to 100 meters.
Red scales that seemed to be made from condensed flames covered its body, and six horns sprouted from its forehead.
An entity that feels like a huge structure rather than a living thing.
Hot flames could be seen periodically spewing out from between the nostrils of the dragon god whose eyes were closed.
‘Isn’t it called God for nothing?’
An overwhelming presence felt even while asleep.
Every time he took a step closer, a feeling of intimidation that made him suffocate weighed on Ohjin.
But why?
‘what?’
The feeling of looking at a puzzle piece that is misaligned.
I felt a strange sense of heterogeneity that I could not explain in words.
“Ah, great dragon god.”
After seeing the sleeping dragon god, Kelion collapsed on the spot and bowed his head low.
“Open our eyes from our long sleep and save us.”
A voice trembling earnestly.
Ojin approached Kelion, who was praying.
“Where is the soul stone?”
“Oh, I’m sorry.”
Carlion, who had been sitting down and bowing his head, quickly got up from his seat.
“That is the soul stone that contains the soul of the Dragon God.”
The place he pointed to was a huge red gem on the wall of the cavity.
Hot flames were swirling inside the red gem.
“Is this a soul stone?”
“That’s right.”
Ha-eun walked slowly toward the red jewel.
Even though the distance was quite far away, the scorching heat irritated my skin.
“So what should I do now?”
“You can use the Dragon Eye to guide the spirit of the Dragon God residing within the soul stone into the body.”
“Even if you ask me to lead you, I don’t know what to do.”
Ha-eun tilted her head and took off her eye patch.
That moment.
“Tsk.”
Throbbing pain.
The dragon’s eyes began to heat up as they looked at the red gem.
“Are you okay, sister?”
“Oh yeah. are you okay.”
Ha-eun gestured to Oh-jin, who was approaching, saying it was okay, and then turned her gaze back to the Dragon God’s Soul Stone.
“…ah.”
I felt the enormous power residing within the red jewel.
‘Is this… the soul of the Dragon God?’
Ha-eun frowned and walked closer to the red gem.
As she slowly stretched out her hand and stroked the jewel, flames flowing from the red jewel enveloped her hand.
Ha-eun stared at the flames wrapped around her palm.
Ha-eun stands still and tilts her head.
“why?”
“huh? Ah… I heard that the dragon god’s soul resides in it, so there’s something about it… will? “I thought you would feel something like that.”
Ha-eun slowly looked up and down at the flame burning inside the red gem.
“But I don’t really feel any will. Does it just feel like a huge lump of power?”
“Like the heart of the dragon you absorbed before?”
“Oh yes! that! “That’s exactly what it feels like!”
Of course, the power contained within it was so enormous that it could not be compared to the dragon heart it had previously absorbed.
“It seems that the Dragon God has not yet awakened from his long sleep.”
Kelion said as he approached.
“Well, I guess we can move it first. “Everyone, please stay away for a moment.”
“Can you move it?”
“ok. “After touching it myself, I can get a feel for how to do it.”
The power of the dragon’s eye is the ability to freely control the dragon’s magical power.
As I removed the blindfold and got closer, I was able to instinctively understand how to handle the magic contained within the red jewel.
“Of course! Cailus’ prophecy was true!”
Kelion’s eyes were red with emotion.
The prophecy that a woman with dragon eyes would appear and save the dragon people was not wrong.
“Then let’s begin.”
Ha-eun placed her hand on the red gem and closed her eyes.
The flames flowing from the jewel gradually began to engulf her body.
When the ritual to awaken the dragon god began.
Coo!
The cavity shook with a great vibration.
Footsteps echoed and I felt someone approaching at high speed.
“…Have you noticed it already?”
Ohjin clicked his tongue as he heard the sound of footsteps approaching.
Unless the demons were stupid, they would have realized that Isabella and the dragons were ‘bait’ to attract their attention.
Since they only ran away without rescuing the captured dragon people or engaging in a final struggle with the demon people, it was inevitable that time would pass and they would find out.
“Ugh! “Please open your eyes!”
Kelion looked at the sleeping Dragon God with a nervous expression.
Can’t you hear his sorrowful voice?
The Dragon God’s eyelids were tightly closed and had no intention of opening.
‘Do I still need more time?’
but.
It wouldn’t be possible to transfer that much magical power as easily as boiling instant cup ramen.
“For now, I will buy some time.”
Ojin pulled Dantalian from his belt and headed toward the common entrance.
