Dragon-Devouring Mage - Chapter 152

EPISODE.76

.

.

The pure white snow flurries wildly.

The blizzard was so thick that you couldn’t even see a few steps ahead, let alone a few meters.

‘I said I barely got out of the sandstorm, but this time it’s a blizzard…’

Russell muttered inwardly as he closed the front of his robe.

Whoo oh oh oh-.

The sound of the wind brushing past the ear lobe arouses fear as if it were the cry of a monster.

It was such a strong blizzard that even the temperature control function attached to the robe given by the Salt Tower did not work properly.

‘I guess so.’

First of all, this was no ordinary blizzard.

The hail imbued with magical power was digging into his bosom, ignoring the magic on the robe as if he were one body with the rough wind.

The snow dug in like that continues to take heat from the body.

In order to maintain body temperature, there is no choice but to maintain a number of magics without stopping.

‘Overlord and Wizard Body and-.’

The three fireballs that swirled around Russell like naturalized wisp were also a way to maintain his body temperature.

‘after-.’

It wouldn’t have been so difficult if it had been a level of magic that simply stopped at the level of summoning flames.

However, the mana-infused blizzard was shaking Russell’s magical power every moment as if it were going to put out the flame even at this moment.

The number of magic used to preserve the flame was five or more.

On top of that, if you add miscellaneous magic used to maintain body temperature and prevent the invasion of wind-.

‘It’s not that difficult to fill about ten fingers.’

Meanwhile, Russell’s eyes were constantly reading the movement of the blizzard.

To be precise, it wasn’t the blizzard, it was to grasp the flow of magic within it.

Whoo oh oh-!

The surest way to follow the direction of the compass was to defuse the magical blizzard that was raging around.

However.

‘It’s ridiculously complex and sophisticated magic.’

How can you scale it up on this scale? It was a magic that could never be dismantled at his current level.

‘Then…’

If it is impossible to dismantle the whole thing, the only option is to create room for maneuver by removing only part of it and build a path.

Using magic in a similar way, he was the one who came out of the sandstorm in the desert.

It wasn’t to the extent that I was accustomed to it, but there was a knack to some extent.

Of course, it was not as easy as it sounds.

That was also true, because the flow of magical power that made up the blizzard continued to change with each step he took.

Not only do I have to capture the moment-by-moment flow of magical power without losing sight of it, but—.

‘To think I had to open a road while calculating backwards.’

My head was already pounding.

If it weren’t for the two masks tied with string and hung around his neck, the subordinate in his mind would have been more than he could have imagined.

It is not an easy situation even for a mage who has reached the level of the 6th circle.

In other words, even though he borrowed the power of objects, it was only Russell’s ability and skills to read, understand, and disassemble the magical power in front of him.

However, despite this, Russell couldn’t help but laugh. He smiled bitterly, clearing at least part of the raging blizzard.

A blizzard raging so hard that the watch could not be properly secured.

Maybe it was because I was vaguely aware that this blizzard might not be the end.

“After the sandstorm, after the snowstorm, is there a sea of fire?”

A word I thought half of as a joke.

And after just a few minutes.

The only thing Russell could do at the gigantic fire in front of him was to bitterly regret that word.

‘Oh shit.’

It’s probably what the mouth says about this.

.

.

Tadak tadak-.

The wide open plains burn in the fire.

coo gg gg-.

Roaring!

In an instant, the ground shook unexpectedly. Fissure Eruption occurred between the cracks on the surface and flames soared.

Hwaaak!

Every time the fire soars high, the pyrotechnics that extend out turn Russell’s face red.

Staring at the scene, Russell groaned inwardly.

‘Grunt.’

I thought the blizzard might not be over.

But when I finally broke through the blizzard, I thought there was a real sea of fire.

‘This kind of prediction doesn’t have to be exactly right.’

A situation that takes your breath away.

The good news is that there are no disasters happening within the tens of meters around where Russell is now standing.

It is a sort of neutral ground between a blizzard and an inferno.

It was a phenomenon that could never exist in the natural world.

‘Perhaps it’s possible because this place is deceiving a dream in a virtual space.’

Areas like this existed between sandstorms and blizzards.

Russell, accustomed to opening the subspace and taking out a canteen, sat down.

Gulp-.

He quenched his throat and regained his mental strength, and about an hour later.

Russell got up from his seat and moved on with a sigh. I just silently went towards the field where the flames were burning fiercely.

.

.

‘Ugh-.’

The situation in the burning field was completely different from the one in the raging blizzard.

Not only did the temperature soar, but the combustion reaction took place and the carbon dioxide produced weighed heavily on the surroundings.

If you don’t keep bringing in the wind and supplying fresh air, it won’t be strange if you suffocate at any time.

Moreover, flames gushed from the cracked ground. Fissure eruptions were also being done through magic.

Hwaaak-!

Information poured in like an overflowing river.

The spirit of the young wizard thrown into it drifted dizzy like a leaf in a raging wave.

If he was careless even a little, he might lose consciousness on the spot.

However, even in such a crisis situation, Russell’s eyes did not lose their light.

On the contrary, it was shining brightly.

Maybe he had it before returning. A talent that I was not even aware of.

The talent that had not seen the light of day due to the heavenly sentence related to Mana Road was hatching at this moment, breaking the eggshell.

As if to assist such Russell, the two masks hung around his neck continuously pour out eye light.

Whoa!

Exfoliation [脫殼].

Awesomely-.

A crack sounded as if something was cracking.

At the same time, the base of Russell’s image begins to expand.

Awesomely-.

A firing that resounds non-stop.

What is the talent that wizards pick the best in the mental realm?

There will be several answers to that. However, there were three factors that many wizards had in common…

‘Awareness.’

‘Intuition.’

and ‘understanding.’

Recognizing, intuitively looking at, and understanding a phenomenon or object was one of the most important talents for magicians.

And…

Russell’s abilities above were sharpened to the utmost through his experience in the Ruins of the Gods and the Kuril Islands.

report of the former family.

A talent sharpened like a blade tore apart something that was blocking his path bit by bit.

led him to new heights.

Awesomely-.

With each step I took, the plasticity that seemed to be cracking only grew bigger.

Sensing a faint light coming in between them, Russell reached out his hand involuntarily.

Actions done unconsciously to grab hold of the light.

It is a state of ecstasy.

Russell, who has forgotten even himself in the united thoughts, feels only the elation of moving toward a new state and the accompanying ecstasy.

If you keep going like this, you will surely be able to break the egg that surrounds you and step into a new world!

────────────!!!

I must have thought so!

‘Kkeok-.’

Russell’s body staggered as he stepped forward.

At the same time, the consciousness, which was feeling an overwhelming sense of exaltation, also plummeted toward the ground at a terrifying speed.

I wonder if the feeling of a hero whose wings were melted by the sun in a myth I’ve always heard about was like this.

Bang!

Half a beat later, a shocking sense of reality was found.

“Ugh…”

His face tingled as if he had been hit directly by something hard.

When you come to your senses, you feel your knees and face touching the ground.

Perhaps the tingling in her face was because she fell over and hit her face on the ground.

‘What happened.’

I thought I would be able to break down the wall that stood in my way.

But at the last moment.

I couldn’t cross the distance of only a few steps and fell on the spot.

For Russell, there is no choice but to remain deeply regretful.

Nevertheless, Russell’s reason as a magician was analyzing the current situation coolly.

‘It must have been lacking.’

For a moment, consciousness was elevated close to the wall, but the ‘mana’, the power to overcome it, was lacking.

It has to be.

Russell’s mana has just entered the middle of the 6th circle.

Because I still needed a lot of mana to complete the sixth circle.

‘Ugh…’

Russell licked his lips as he confirmed the fact.

It would be a lie if I said that I am not sorry.

However, in the end, it happened because of lack of self.

There’s nothing you can do about it.

Of course, you can’t be sure that an opportunity like this one will come next time.

However, one thing is certain.

The experience from just before had been vividly imprinted in Russell’s mind under the name of ‘unconsciousness’.

Recalling that sensation, Russell smiled faintly.

.

.

That’s all there is to the small thoughts about the experience a while ago.

Calming his excitement, Russell slowly moved his gaze. He checked the neighborhood where he was standing now.

Tadak tadak-.

The sound of burning dry grass continued to be heard from behind.

When he turned his head, the inferno he had been through just before was spreading right there.

Unconsciously, he escaped from the Burning Plains and reached the Neutral Zone.

In the middle of that neutral zone, the door towered.

A door that looks the same as the one you first entered.

‘Is the exam over?’

As soon as the unconsciously outstretched fingertips touch the door-.

[You have completed the mission.]

[Reward will be given.]

[Advanced magic stone (edible) x5 and…]

– An alarm sounded.

[Enter the dwelling of the Earth Dragon (Earth Dragon) to pay the Horn of the Dragon King (Earth Purification).] A

bright light started from the door as it did when you first entered.

A vortex of magical power engulfed Russell’s entire body.

Wow!
