#When I returned, the family was ruined (141)
Ethan, who had left the place, frowned. I could recognize it at a glance.
The level of the dragon that stole the bishop’s body was easily beyond that of a superhuman. That was the reason why he was not completely bound by the laws of the area he had set.
‘Luckily, I’m not a transcendental person.’
If he had been in his past life, he could have been a Yongin who could have held the position of a division commander, even if he was not a corps commander.
It was also a being with power that could be described as being two levels higher than the metal dragon we met at Agiles’ secret testing site.
[Hehe… A bizarre skill for someone of his age… Indeed… It’s like the blood of Ardan, who killed me…]
The Yongin smiled grotesquely and squeezed his hand.
Wow!
Wow!
The realm of fire itself was being crumpled little by little by the enormous force. He began to destroy the realm with pure force.
‘What a troublesome guy.’
The handle of the divine sword trembled.
It was at that time that the mana filled with the bishop’s body began to slowly vibrate.
[So you mixed the new sword with Yongrin Mok…?]
Yongrin Mok.
The wood’s characteristic of greedily absorbing the surrounding energy was imbued in the handle of the divine sword.
Philos’ eyes lit up.
The wish of the human who called him was to get out of this place.
What is this place?
It was referring to the ‘territory’ created by Ardan’s descendants.
-Oh no! At best, get out of this capital, not just the territory…!
-Shut up.
Ignoring the human voice in his head, Philos looked at the blazing fire area. If only the realm of fire could be shattered, it would be the same as granting a small human’s wish.
All mistakes are simply the mistakes of humans who have vaguely emptied their ‘wish’. Anything more than that was none of his business.
‘Finally, I have a chance…’
A smile appeared on Philos’ lips.
If your wish is granted appropriately.
Depending on the value of the wish, the soul of the dragon race could steal the soul of the person in question little by little. However, if it were just a loss to humans, that would not be the case.
The middle part of the Gangryong ceremony that descends the soul. This was a tactic that was only used when one’s life was at risk, so the more often one used it, the more one’s life could be saved instead of losing more and more souls to the dragon. It is a reasonable ‘deal’ in its own way.
‘I’ve been asleep for a long time.’
In the past, when there was a war between the dragon race and humans, Pylos lost his life to the head of Ardan. He used his enormous power to kill countless of his compatriots. Even he, who was the division commander of the dragon army at the time, could not withstand the Duke’s sword.
The memory of my entire body being cut into pieces without even being able to utter a single word was still vivid in my mind. That was the last memory I had, but…
-Would you like to make a contract? Philos.
One day, a voice was heard, and the world that had been cut off was connected once again.
‘Ardan.’
I will chew up and eat up all the bastards with that castle. In order to seek the revenge that began to burn in his heart, Pylos promised to wander the Nine Heavens. Through the bishop’s memories, he came to know what kind of person was standing before his eyes.
The enemy’s son, whom he could chew on, was the true identity of the knight standing before his eyes.
The situation was very good.
The knight, who seemed to be of a very high standard at first glance, was trapped in an isolated space through the religious belongings of the church.
‘It will take quite a long time to get out.’
That was enough time to kill the descendants of Ardan and escape from here.
―W Of course! Philos has an idea…!
-I would have told you to shut up.
―….
I will chew every single piece of its flesh and enjoy its sweet screams to my heart’s content. He saw a small human running towards him.
The courage was virtual.
‘Hehe…’
He wasn’t a smart enough person to be able to deal with me.
―Sa Rai Tio (Be shattered).
A body gained once again.
It wasn’t fully ripe enough to recall its past glory, but it was a useful body in its own right.
Exciting!
Enormous power emanated from the spirit ring formed on the dragon’s head. The formed words began to bind humans like snakes.
flinch!
The human body was seen trembling pitifully, like a small animal trembling at the sight of a wild beast.
[Hehe… Did you know that humans, at best, could resist the power of the dragon race?] Manyong
rushed in without hesitation.
It was time to pay the price for that recklessness.
You can only hold out for a moment.
Soon, the body will be shattered…
The face of the dragon race that had been smiling cruelly hardened.
‘…what?’
Why do I feel a kinship vibe from the author?
Soon, Philos was astonished.
This was because the mana that bloomed in the human body slowly took shape. And it has the exact same shape of arms and legs as its own kind.
[How can I gain the power of the clan…?]
The bishop whose body he had taken over was able to use the body of the dragon clan because he had received a special ‘treatment’ from the church.
But that….
‘It was simply implemented with mana?’
If it were easy, humans in this world would have composed their bodies of dogs, cows, or others of a specific species.
There is no need to utilize the weak human body.
Immediately, I felt a strong sense of pressure.
Okay!
Okay!
[…!]
The words that bound the duke’s body were slowly breaking. Philos hurriedly pursed his lips.
The energy of destruction spewed out from the trembling Eonnyeonghwan.
As if to match him, explosive mana began to flow from the duke’s body.
Mana swells endlessly as if it were elastic.
Philos was astonished when he saw this.
This was because the mana that humans had doubled in just one moment. That was enough to blow away all the caution in the hearts of the dragon people. The spirit slowly swayed due to the enormous amount of mana.
Sigh!
Soon, the power of the spirit was shattered.
“Is this all?”
The frightened dragon trembled. Just like when they faced the Duke of the previous generation, the Yongin people were backing away without realizing it. Philos realized this and became angry.
[…You! I will kill you!]
“If you can, try it.”
―Sa Ma Leo Ria!
“It’s okay.”
The angry dragon and the peacock began to tangle towards each other.
* * *
The Marquis, imprisoned in the religious body of the church, stared at the battle between dragons and humans.
The first time you were trapped.
At the time, I was speaking leisurely, but I was quite anxious. This was because the only person left who could stop the wizards was the Duke.
There are four wizards belonging to the 8th rank.
As if that wasn’t enough, it was a group of dozens of 7th rank wizards and even bishops.
I hadn’t fully confirmed the duke’s skills, but if I thought about it with common sense, it was clear that I wouldn’t be able to deal with him easily.
The knights dealing with the wizards of the Capital Magic Council above would have to wait ten minutes at the fastest to get here.
So I quickly swung my sword to break the wall.
There was one problem: the religious beliefs of the church were much stronger than he thought. A sphere that looks like it might collapse, but never collapses. While the sphere was being destroyed, the Duke began to act.
‘…what you see wasn’t everything.’
He was quietly watching the duke’s battle, half forgetting about smashing the sphere.
‘Huh. How on earth could he be at that age?…’
Powerful mana.
Delicate control.
Even the movements seem to have been steeped in seasoned experience. Although the things that made up the duke were surprising, there was another reason why he was most surprised.
‘The basic skills…!’
It could almost be said to be perfect.
If the members of the Shadow Knights had known of Marquis Lionel’s thoughts like this, they would have been so surprised that they were not only shocked, but darkened.
The second-in-command of the knights.
Even the Deputy Commander, who had reached the level of a mature superhuman, was not evaluated as having perfect basic skills.
‘How is that possible?’
Forming a high-level realm meant that the enlightenment itself was so high that it was similar to that of the transcendental. I heard that the mana hole was not only shattered, but also lay there for ten years.
This means that there was not enough opportunity to experience actual combat or time to continue training.
But how is it possible to have that level of experience and strength?
‘Talent?’
no.
It was absolutely not at a level that could be evaluated as talent. Even if he could bring in any equipment from the West Continent, he would not have been able to show such proficiency at that age.
The Transcendent was certain at this moment.
Something other than talent.
The duke must have some secret.
Immediately afterwards, the Marquis stuck out his tongue.
“…It’s not that tight.”
The bishop’s body and soul had already changed into those of the Yongin tribe. Even if the deputy commander, a fully-trained superhuman, came, it would not be easy to win.
In the Shadow Knights, only he will be able to cut off all the limbs of the dragon race.
It was a race with such great power. At best, this was a clear fact just by looking at the magicians around them dying one by one from the impact of the swords and ghosts colliding.
But the duke is now.
―Kuoooo!
He was using the great sword in his hand to cut off the dragon’s limbs piece by piece.
An epidermis that is hundreds of times harder than that of a human, a body with enormous power, and the power of words that can be spewed out just by opening the mouth. The duke was overwhelming everything, as if he was jumping over a light obstacle.
‘Especially the technique of using that mana to bring back the body of a dragon race…’
The Marquis recognized it at a glance.
The ferocious power contained within the mana engulfed in the Duke’s hands and feet was not something that even a transcendental person could let down his guard. Just by looking at it, it consumes a huge amount of mana.
‘It would be difficult to maintain even 5 minutes…’
Seeing that all the limbs of a gigantic dragon were torn to pieces in those 5 minutes, talking about its power would only make my mouth hurt. Yongin, who was screaming desperately, shook his body.
It seemed like he couldn’t hold on and was trying to run away.
“Where are you going?”
With the cold tone of the voice, all the mana around him froze.
It’s so hard that even a weak Yongin can’t tear it.
Despair filled the eyes of the Yongin people as they looked at the space that had changed as solidly as an ice cap.
[How can even descendants…! You have this… unreasonable power…!]
“You must be weak.”
Phew!
The divine sword penetrated deep into the heart. The heart, which had not yet fully blossomed into a dragon heart, burst out helplessly.
[A ghost of a demon… a demon dragon…]
A dragon spirit that wandered the nine heavens, vowing revenge. The soul recalled the being that had reached out to it. Soon, white flames began to burn all the bodies of the dragon people.
The body slowly shriveled, and soon only the human corpse remained.
“I’m crazy!”
“The bishop… was defeated?”
Some wizards who survived to the end were astonished. Immediately, fear filled their eyes. This was because the Duke holding a sword was approaching him.
“I will blow everything! Sal… keuhuheuuk!”
“Wow!”
The remaining wizards died in an instant. That was when only silence remained in the basement. The duke’s eyes turned to Marquis Lionel. The Marquis smiled awkwardly at the sight of him staring at himself.
“Hehe Duke is truly amazing!”
“…Please come out quickly.”
“Just wait a moment. I’ll destroy it in no time!”
Only then did the Marquis come to his senses and began to diligently destroy the sphere.
