Dragon-Devouring Mage - Chapter 126
Episode 126
EPISODE.63
Actually, there was no need to ask.
An unmistakable and clear speculation that is not even mixed with a single handful of life.
That alone made it clear why they came here.
sniff-.
just as expected.
One of the water buffalo men who showed up let out a snort. Then, with a rather embarrassed expression, he scratched his horn slowly and said.
“Sorry about this. Ummm. I didn’t mean to disturb your sleep…”
“…?”
“I was going to wait until the sun came up, but your senses are too sensitive.”
Contrary to their words, their eyes gleamed with speculation that they wanted to see each other once.
Russell pointed out with a laugh.
“If you’re going to say that, shouldn’t you erase the speculation around your eyes first?”
Strong self-esteem (强者存) and strong self-preferred (强者優待).
This must be the beastman’s instinct.
After all, even the relatively docile beast race was the same, but it was different from the inside.
If it was worse, it would be worse, but not less.
At the same time as Russell pointed out, they let out a shy laugh.
“Anyway, since this is our instinct, it’s not that easy to suppress it. I’m sorry.”
Then, he handled it smartly.
“Still, since your senses are so sensitive, it must mean that we didn’t come to the wrong place.”
Should I consider this a self-proclaimed word?
Russell laughed at their attitude.
It was clear that this would happen again the further we went into the island. Whether you meet the beastmen or meet the beastmen’s village.
At that time, he would have to run into the beast races who felt sympathy for the humans who came in from outside.
‘It’s very likely that the story will work after that.’
It didn’t hurt to treat this as part of a rehearsal.
Russell nodded.
“All right. Why don’t we start right now without waiting any longer?”
“Right now? really? Are you okay? Mmmmmmm.”
Contrary to the words, his mouth was wide open to the left and right with joy.
Then, the muscular body of the giant wriggles and begins to wriggle.
The lower part of the water buffalo’s thigh was already swollen as if it were about to explode.
It’s something I’ve felt since before, but when it comes to things like this, they’re a species that’s not good at hiding their emotions.
‘Maybe only water buffaloes are like that.’
Thinking so, Russell clenched his fists. As an answer to the boiling spirit, a part of the mana he possessed was released.
Hwaaaak-
.
.
Woo woo-.
The mana that came out of the heart with the fire ran wildly over the mana road.
As if reminiscent of a wild horse, it moves swiftly and without hesitation.
What is surprising is that the movement of this magical power itself is thoroughly carried out by Russell’s intention.
At first glance, it moves like a wild horse, but in fact it is already a horse with a full rein.
Parbabat-!
The running mana rushed towards the fingertips at once. The time it took to get here is just an instant.
The moment when the mana gathered at the fingertips in less than a second was distorted and twisted.
Mana became a physical law and intervened in the laws of the world.
“Shock Wave-!”
An intense shock wave hit the world with the air as a medium.
Two bang-!!!
“Heuk!”
With a heavy impact, one of the giant water buffalo beasts flew backwards and crashed.
Kwajeok Ujikkeun!
A few trees that were swept away were smashed whole and crushed under the buffalo beast man’s gigantic body.
“Kheuheouk!”
It was the water buffalo who had the first conversation with Russell and then introduced himself as Darkan.
At the assault, the buffalo beasts sitting around clenched their fists.
Each of them exclaimed.
“Ooh-oh!”
“Surely strong. Human Wizard!”
It was clear that all of them had abrasions and battle scars, including on their eyelids, after they had already been beaten badly by Russell once.
There is only one Darkan left.
“Turn it off-.”
In the meantime, Darkhan groaned and struggled to get up.
Among the water buffaloes who appeared, he had excellent skills as much as he was called the captain.
Of course, it wasn’t comparable to Russell.
Chew-.
A shower of cold water that suddenly fell on your head.
Darkan, whose strength was relieved, sat down on the spot.
“Ah, gurruk-!”
Then, a lightning bolt the size of a finger landed on Darkan’s head.
Jiji Jiji-.
“Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm-!”
A bolt of lightning spread through the water that drenched Darkann’s body, and he let out a scream immediately afterward.
Then, the long hair growing all over his body began to emit a thick soot.
He was briefly stunned by the electric shock, but the only visible wounds were soot and abrasions.
‘If it was an ordinary person, it would have been an attack that would have been nothing strange even if it had broken bones and suffered burns.’
Russell stuck his tongue inwardly as he caught a glimpse of the brutes, who were not only strong but also strong.
‘Despite not being able to use Aura, his physical ability is comparable to that of a second-class Knight of Fall Achievement.’
It was literally a blessed body.
There seemed to be no other way to express their bodies other than those words.
‘If you can handle an aura on a body like that…’
Aura wasn’t necessarily manifested only through the practice method.
It was rare, but it was because the aura was often manifested through constant training and actual combat without the use of seniority.
It was for this reason that some of the mercenaries, who had not even learned how to perform any drills, stepped up to become users of expedient auras using sword skills.
‘Among the beastmen, there must be someone who expressed an aura in the same way.’
If it wasn’t for that, there was no way that Beast King Muyaho’s ability would be treated as more than a decent superman.
“Grunt.”
Then Darkan, who came to his senses with the sound of pain, stood up.
“Looking at my head dizzy, I must have lost. Mmmmm.”
Then he said admiringly to Russell.
“her. Your human friend looks young, but it’s amazing. After that kind of attack, it’s just a bolt of water.”
He could have avoided it if he had just fired bolt magic, but to drop water and destroy the center of gravity.
“It was an outrageous move.”
Giving a thumbs up, he called out to Russell again.
“By the way, young human-”
“This is Russell Raymond.”
It was a name that was quite famous on the continent, but this is the Kuril Islands.
“hmm. okay. Russell.”
He nodded moderately, then shrugged his shoulders and continued.
“So what’s going on inside the island? As far as I know, most of the humans do only exchange activities on the outside of the island…”
Talking before (先) and after battle (後).
It was quite a reversed order, but Darkan’s tone when he asked about it was calm.
Perhaps the current order is no different from everyday life here.
Understanding that fact, Russell opened his mouth.
He explained why he had come here.
“actually-.”
After a brief explanation that lasted for several minutes, the buffalo beasts, including Darkan, sat down in their seats and tilted their heads.
“hmm.”
“Hmm.”
He shrugged his shoulders as if he didn’t know.
“I don’t know. I’ve been shooting all over the island for over fifty years, but this is the first I’ve heard of it.”
No matter how old he appears on the outside, he looks like he’s in his mid-to-late 40s, but he’s 50 years old.
“Excuse me, may I ask how old are you this year?”
“Seventy-eight years old.”
In terms of human age, there is nothing strange about having dark spots all over the body.
But that level of strength and vitality?
‘Surely a beast.’
Spouting admiration at them again, Russell let his thoughts flow.
It was quite a surprise, but that wasn’t something I had to worry about right now.
The other thing to focus on is…
‘Places that even those who have been around the island for so many years cannot think of.’
…because it was different.
I knew it wouldn’t be easy, but I never thought it would be so annoying.
‘but. Maybe things were too easy in the Underworld.’
Thinking so, the moment Russell made up his mind, a clue flowed from an unexpected place.
“If even the captain doesn’t know about it, how about Shinji?”
“Shinji?”
Russell flinched at the mention of a land inhabited by gods.
It is also because there were also those who worshiped dragons as gods in the past.
The dwarves also treated the silver dragon and the fire dragon as quasi-gods, so they even built an altar to enshrine them.
‘Come to think of it, there was a record that the first Beast King, Felil, was also of mixed dragon blood.’
Russell recalled the contents of a book he had seen the other day, and Darkan agreed.
“Certainly there might be such a place in Shinji. It’s a place I’ve never been to before, and since it’s near a volcano, there must be quite a bit of lava flowing…”
Russell asked without hesitation, as the place with the highest possibility was Shinji.
“What must I do to enter Shinji?”
.
.
Fire-.
Russell let out a long breath, extinguishing the fire that had risen along the tip of his index finger.
“Whoa.”
Today is already the 17th battle.
It wasn’t hard, but it would be a lie if I said it wasn’t cumbersome. With a long sigh, Russell looked away.
About 15 days ago, I recalled the conversation I had with Darkan in my head.
“Only warriors who are recognized as outstanding within the warrior race among warriors are qualified to enter the Shinji. I don’t know if there is any other way.”
“Then who knows how?”
To Russell’s question, Darkan answered very simply, pointing his index finger straight at the time.
“The great warriors or elders might know.”
It seemed that he was only asking questions for some reason, but if the answers continued in this way, he had no choice but to ask again.
So, what should I do to meet them?
The answer to that was this.
‘Continue what you did today.’
As it is an island that respects the strong, if their name becomes widely known, they will come naturally.
Isn’t that why they’ve been doing this for fifteen days already?
Encountering the beasts, being challenged, and winning…
While repeating a series of actions, Russell’s new type had reached the depths of the island before he knew it.
In the meantime, did rumors about him spread among the beastmen?
The number of beastmen who applied for the challenge, saying that they had heard rumors a few days ago, also increased significantly compared to before.
In the meantime, the number of strongmen he defeated was not small.
There must be at least one person who has heard rumors about him, whether it’s Daejeon incident or Captain Logan.
‘At this point, it’s about time to show up.’
just as expected.
“Are you that human stranger of rumors?”
A group of people came to Russell about five days later.
Unlike other beastmen, a group of people with red knots tied around their waists.
‘The symbol of the Great Warrior I heard from Darkan.’
In an instant, those surrounding Russell shouted at him.
“Follow me. There is someone who is looking for you.”
“Who are you looking for?”
Just one thing.
What Russell didn’t expect was-.
“The Beast King wants to see you.”
-It was the point that the big fish were caught even if they were caught.
The king of beasts, Muyaho.
He was looking for Russell.
