#When I returned, the family was ruined (95)
What on earth happened?
Even though his eyesight had become much stronger than before using the Strong Dragon Style, Diego could not understand the scene before his eyes.
‘Did you follow along?’
Then he shook his head.
Kang Ryong-sik was the secret weapon of the church.
It is not enough to go into the depths of the church and strengthen the body even before using it.
When becoming a dragon, a training process was necessary to cut bones so as not to lose one’s senses.
Instead of changing the body, the Duke only changed the nature of mana.
Diego knew that this was a much more difficult method than directly transforming the body.
Because handling mana so delicately was an area related to mental power and talent.
You just saw something that difficult and just did it?
‘…That can’t be possible!’
Even if you have a talent that reaches the sky, it is impossible to imitate it right away.
Even if he were the archbishop, he would not be able to contain the power of the dragon in his mana just by seeing the Kangryongsik.
‘Even the archbishop cannot do this.’
There was no way that a seven-star knight could have done it.
He must have known about Kang Ryongsik.
[You guy. How did you find out about Kang Ryong-sik?]
“Didn’t you just show me?”
[…Stop talking nonsense!]
Immediately, a thought crossed Diego’s mind.
Confusion and astonishment.
And even anger.
He looked at Ethan with eyes filled with all emotions.
[Right. Eric… it was him. [You have become deeply attached to the kingdom.]
Shadow Knights.
Bishop Eric was known to have been victimized by these men.
The reason he lost all of his intelligence was probably because he broke his ‘promise’ with the archbishop and revealed information about secret techniques.
There is no doubt that the duke also shared the tips obtained from the kingdom.
So, it must have been possible to contain the dragon’s power in mana.
Ethan looked at the bishop with a grin.
The guy was nodding his head on his own, wondering what he was imagining.
One thing was certain.
The church’s side was that the kingdom was looking for the reason why the eighth bishop became such an idiot.
‘Good.’
This means that the disturbance has ended successfully.
It may be possible to find out who the real culprit is in the future, but by then it will be after he has already regained some of his original skills.
Whether the archbishop or the religious leader.
At that point, there was nothing to be afraid of.
‘It’s the power of the dragon.’
Both arms wrapped in flames.
Power was flowing from there. The technology the bishop used seemed to be more useful than expected.
After cutting off that guy’s head this time, I think it would be a good idea to explore the way he showed it.
“If you’re not going to come, I’ll go first.”
The moment Ethan rushed in.
[Look into the dragon’s eyes.]
The bright yellow pupils glowed faintly.
Eye of Deception Matter.
Receiving the power of the dragon along with the energy of the dragon tree, the matter was strengthened to the point where it could no longer be simply called a trick.
So much so that it can be described as a real dragon’s eye, not a dead eye.
How could humans resist the energy of the dragon race?
The limits of the human race.
Even the duke would not be able to overcome that racial limit.
That was the moment our eyes met.
flinch!
The Duke’s running body stopped.
When Diego saw that, his mouth began to draw an arc.
[Hehe… Did you think that humans, at best, could resist the power of God?]
The Duke’s mental power was greater than I thought. Even the eyes of a dragon, which would break the spirit of an ordinary human being upon encountering it, could not do anything about his spirit.
‘…He’s such a monster.’
How on earth can you live without feeling even the slightest fear when looking into the eyes of a dragon?
A boy of nineteen at most. It made me want to dissect my head to see what the mind was made of.
‘…even so.’
It was impossible to overcome the enormous power itself.
That was why the duke’s steps were tied up.
Right now, Diego was mobilizing all the mana in his body to tie his steps.
A butterfly caught in a spider’s web and unable to move.
Now all he had to do was tie a spider web around this butterfly.
It’s also very detailed and sturdy so that it can never escape.
[I will slowly break your spirit.]
No matter how excellent the duke’s mental power was, it would not be completely without gaps. As he continued to make eye contact and strengthen his dominance…
Diego’s thoughts could no longer continue.
“Is this at best?”
The moment when the duke smiled.
This is because a huge amount of mana flowed out, and all the magical power that was binding him was dispersed.
The bishop’s expression hardened.
The beginning of the 7-star knight.
It was the level of mana the duke possessed. The amount of mana increased explosively to the point where it felt like a 7-star expert for a moment.
‘How
can the amount of mana change so much in an instant?
According to common sense, this is absolutely impossible.
The duke continued to surpass the impossible.
“Is this all you have to show me?”
[How on earth…]
“Then I’m a bit disappointed.”
The moment he finished speaking, the duke’s new form disappeared.
Quang!
With a huge explosion, the bishop began to fly away with his arms flying.
Even after gaining the power of the dragon, he could not defend against the duke’s might.
overwhelming power!
Diego trembled at that power.
‘…It doesn’t work.’
Eyes of domination.
A thread of magical power.
And even the power of dragons.
The Duke was such a monster that nothing could work on him.
Even after receiving the power of Yonglinmok, I couldn’t possibly deal with him. The archbishop appeared in Diego’s mind.
Duke of Ethan.
He was like an archbishop.
‘…can’t win.’
I had to run away.
However, the bishop’s thoughts did not go any further.
Before he knew it, the duke, who had completely blocked his escape route, was approaching him.
‘We must survive!’
Even if it’s just to report the Duke’s thrilling power to the church!
He began desperately squeezing out mana.
* * *
Wizards close to thirty.
They were desperately protecting the territory the bishop had spread out.
Certainly, the power of the joint magic circle was enormous.
Even hundreds of elves could not easily approach the power of defensive magic.
Ilya looked at the defensive magic. Even if he was an archmage, he could not use magic indefinitely. Their magic was definitely tricky.
Besides, there was one more thing to worry about. It was the appearance of a shaking area.
Bishop and Duke.
A huge noise was coming out of the area the two people entered. It was clear to anyone that there was a fierce battle going on inside.
“…Ilya. “Will the Duke be okay?”
The ears of the elves listening to the noise were already pricked up.
A person wearing a white robe.
That he was the strongest human in the fortress was one of the facts that many elf scouts learned as they faced death.
Although I gave the Duke my own warning, I couldn’t help but feel worried.
Wasn’t he already a comrade and hero working for the elves?
“It’ll be okay.”
It was the moment when Ilya responded kindly.
Pow!
The area connected by threads of thick magic exploded in all directions.
Wizards and elves.
Everyone’s eyes focused on the inside of the area. Depending on who emerges from the explosion, the outcome here will be decided immediately.
gulp.
Everyone swallowed their saliva.
Soon, the sound of footsteps rang out.
Step by step.
Step by step.
It was a small sound, but to the people present, it felt as loud as the sound of thunder.
When someone finally appears in the area.
There was a mixture of joy and sorrow for each other.
“This…I can’t believe it!”
“Lord…the bishop was harmed?”
“No… this is ridiculous!”
A cry of astonishment rang out among the wizards, but conversely among the elves.
Silent admiration continued.
Peacock.
He held the bishop’s head in his hands. And the head that has disappeared from the bottom of the body.
‘…You mean you killed that person?’
For elves, the most feared object was a human wearing a white robe.
A person with such great power that even powerful wizards can serve him. The duke had killed such a being without suffering even a single wound.
‘…The Duke of Ardan.’
The members of that family were powerful people, even if they were different in some way.
‘In human years… I said I was nineteen.’
Nineteen wasn’t that old. Nevertheless, if you have that level of skill.
Mentioning the future was just a pain in the mouth.
Soon the elves cheered while holding their weapons.
“…The Duke killed the white man!”
“Wow!”
“Kill the wizards!”
The morale of the elves was at its peak.
The thirty wizards tried to escape in a hurry while disarming the joint magic circle.
“Heulheul.” “Where are you trying to go in such a hurry?”
With a single gesture from Ilya, the escape route was immediately blocked.
“You… crazy old man! Kill it somehow! “We have to clear a path!”
Death of a bishop.
And even the Duke, who looks fine.
The wizards’ composure had long since collapsed.
Even the joint magic circle has disappeared.
Those wearing black robes began to fall under the barrage of arrows from the elves.
At the end of the battle, there was only one wizard who survived.
A wizard wearing a golden badge.
The reason this guy survived was simple. This is because I told Illya to spare at least one high-ranking person.
Ethan’s eyes lit up when he saw the badge. A silver badge obtained after capturing the chief priest.
They were wearing the same type of badge.
“He must be an official of the Capital Magic Council.”
“…Kill him.”
With those words, the wizard closed his mouth.
‘I don’t think I can use my strength.’
Ethan was someone who had seen many different types of people. People who usually keep their mouths shut like that weren’t the type to open their mouths just because they were torturing them.
It was then.
[I’ll find out. What are you curious about?]
Illia’s whisper was heard.
[Whether or not our appearance was reported to the church?]
[I understand.]
Ilya approached the wizard and took out a bottle containing liquid from her arms.
“Uh…Uuuup!”
The mouth of the wizard wearing the golden badge was wide open.
Liquid began to gush out from under the opened bottle.
Not only was he overpowered, but even his mana was sealed, so all the wizard could do was drink the liquid.
“What is that?”
“Heulheul.” “It’s a confession.”
Soon after, Ilya began to dig up information.
“Did you report our appearance to the higher-ups?”
“I haven’t been able to… contact… blocked… by magic… Because…”
“How long do you think it will take for the higher-ups to find out about this?”
“… Since we receive supplies every month… it will probably take about that long…”
Ilya nodded and looked at Ethan.
“Do you have any other questions?”
“Location of the Capital Magic Council.”
“Where is the Capital Magic Association?”
That was when Ilya asked back.
“That…”
The wizard, who was biting his lip, began to vomit blood.
“Ugh…uhhh…”
I fell down towards the floor.
“…It seems like there are restrictions. “That is also a strong restriction.”
“He’s just like the bishop.”
“Did he do that too?”
“okay. The moment I asked, he didn’t answer at all. “It was as if he was subconsciously trying not to remember the answer.”
In any case, the essence of his technique was omitted.
Moreover, unlike the eighth bishop I caught last time, this one did not have a transfer stone. Since there was no need to leave behind any regrets, he cut off his head with a single knife.
Ilya nodded at those words.
“…It is a restriction that even controls the unconscious…. It is truly a profound method. “I’ll have to research it.”
Ilya, who was floating the wizard’s body, looked at Ethan.
No, to be precise.
He was looking at the bishop’s head in Ethan’s hand.
And that too with a lot of sparkle around the eyes.
“Could you give me that bishop’s head too? “It will be a good resource for research.”
“as you please. “His body is over there.”
Ilya nodded as if satisfied with those words and found the bishop’s torso. Soon after, the two bodies were put into subspace.
“egg plant.”
Yonglinmok.
Now it was time to destroy the tree.
The further inside I went, the more the strange energy grew. However, in front of the white flame, he could only step back helplessly.
When they arrived at such a huge cavity, the group was able to encounter a huge tree.
A red tree stretching straight into the sky.
Ethan’s eyes lit up at the sight of the black fruit hanging from the top of the tree.
‘Hoo.’
Yonglin (龍鱗果).
The elixir-like fruit produced by the Yongrin tree, which absorbed the surrounding energy beyond its limit. The thing hanging at the top of the tree located in the hollow was literally an elixir.
