───────── Kwareung!
A part of the Abet Forest, which had been quiet with the heavy drinking, was shaken violently.
As if an earthquake or landslide occurred, the atmosphere violently swirls along with the intense vibration, creating a huge waterspout.
Quaaaaaa!
Trees and rocks were uprooted by the wind as if the dragon was ascending, soaring high into the air and falling down repeatedly.
Kururureung-.
The aftermath was so great that the scene could be seen from several tens of kilometers away.
Not only that, the leaves and roots of trees that were carried along by the waterspouts fell onto the villages of the beasts dozens of kilometers away.
There was no great damage due to the distance, but it was a natural disaster.
However, the attitude of the prisoners facing the natural disaster was calm.
“haha. It’s intense today.”
“It has to be. Isn’t that just four months?”
“It’s been a while since Muyaho-sama has been warming up properly.”
Suin Island is restoring a waterway that was damaged by the recent heavy rain. A water supply that patched up a partially damaged roof.
Suindo organizes the harvested fruits.
Everyone’s voice was just peaceful.
It has to be.
It has been several years since they migrated from the Kuril Islands to the Abet Forest.
In the meantime, natural disasters like this have happened several times like an annual event.
“How can you be so enthusiastic when only that friend comes to visit…
”
With their murmurs, Hana, a bear beast who had been drinking since daytime, raised the beer mug in her hand.
Guguaguaguagua!
I shouted, staring at the direction where the explosion was still coming from far away in the forest.
“Cheers to Muyaho’s innocence!”
.
.
Kwagwagwagwa!
Contrary to what he said was pure affection, what Muyaho was doing now was by no means something that could be called an act of affection.
It stretches out its fists, rotates its body, and kicks out.
Right after that, he used the rotational power as it was to wield his favorite weapon, Geochang.
Kwalung!
With a roar that sounded like a thunderbolt, shockwaves poured out and part of the forest was blown away completely.
It’s a shame because the scale of the forest is so large that if it were in another place, it could be said that a fairly large forest was completely blown away.
Not an act of affection, but a literal act of destruction!
Glancing at the sight created by the shock wave he had just thrown out, Russell gave a small laugh at the absurdity.
‘It’s fortunate that it was an area to be reclaimed from the beginning…’
If it wasn’t for that, only the poor nature would have been destroyed.
“Kyahahaha! Get this one sometime cock!”
Whether or not he knew Russell’s heart, Muyaho’s new model was fired like a cannonball once again.
──── Kwak!
To measure that speed, you’ll need a unit of Mach!
Russell reached out his hand, confirming the new type of muyaho that was hurting him.
After slowly closing the fingers, they opened wide in an instant, gathering gravity from all directions like an ant hell and scattering it along the top and surroundings of Muya Lake.
The ones scattered around were in the form of traps to tie Muyaho’s feet, and the most powerful shot aimed at Muyaho’s body.
“Kyahahahaha-!”
Perhaps because the force pulling her increased more than tenfold, Muyaho’s speed was noticeably reduced.
However, Muyaho’s new model was already in the midst of reaching Russell’s nose!
Damn it!
The staggered shield magic was shattered in a single blow, and the fragments scattered in all directions like shards of broken mirrors.
At the same time, Russell’s new form was revealed, and Muyaho moved his arm.
At first glance, he wielded a gigantic spear of immense size and stabbed it toward Russell.
Paget-.
‘—Hmm?’
In the midst of the infinitely long time, what Muyaho discovered at that moment was the fragments of the shield that were scattered around him.
‘…static?’
Small electricity flowed along the fragments of the shield, creating organic resonance with each other.
Russell snapped his fingers.
The static electricity that arose at that moment and the blue magic light between Russell’s fingers responded.
The tip of Muyaho’s spear flashed before it even touched Russell!
──────────!
Blue lightning split the dry sky in two.
.
.
From the spot where the lightning strikes, the light flickers at a rapid speed, the quartz grains melt and harden, and the ground rapidly becomes vitrified.
Keraunos (Κεραυνος).
It is said that among the many gods who roamed the earth in the past, the main god of Olympia defeated the enemies threatening his land with a thunderbolt spear.
This magic, nicknamed the Thunder Spear of Zeus, was a magic with overwhelming destructive power as its name.
Quite a few Aura practitioners could not guarantee their lives if they were directly hit by this magic.
If the target that was hit directly was an ordinary person, it would have evaporated without leaving even a corpse.
However, the opponent was Muyaho, the beast king.
A strong man who boasted that he would not lose to Hemingway Melville even if he could not win against Daria.
Even more so, such a person even inherited the Dark Dragon’s power.
“Kuuuuu!”
Muyaho let out a sound that I couldn’t tell if it was exclamation or groan in the high dust.
“Very tingling!”
Soon after, the sand dust clears and her figure is revealed.
As if he had touched his hair at a strange hair shop somewhere, his hair that had been burned by lightning and turned into a twist, and even the smell of burnt hair coming up from his body.
It wasn’t a normal look, but I couldn’t believe that I had been hit directly by that kind of lightning.
On the contrary, it was Russell who was not all right.
“Collock Coke-.”
Russell, who had been thrown far away and was buried in a pile of rocks, raised himself with a small cough.
‘To be able to fire the spear without stopping even at the moment of being struck by lightning…’
Although he was not pierced by the spearhead, the shock wave hit and passed through his entire body.
‘It’s not broken… but it might have cracked.’
Thinking so, Russell sighed and raised his arms.
“I think it would be better to stop here for now.”
“Yes?”
Take a moment to look dissatisfied with Russell’s proposal.
“what. good. cock. It’s been a long time since I’ve been rampaging properly, so let’s do it like this.”
Muyaho nodded roughly, and the spear in her hand transformed into an ivory-colored anklet and disappeared.
Muyaho, who made the spear disappear, strode toward Russell and said,
“Rather than that, look at this male.”
“…?”
“The horns have grown, just as you said.”
With a rough hand, he straightened his hair, which had become messy from being struck by lightning, and a pair of horns that appeared to have been carved out of rock appeared between them.
Her eyes had also changed to those of a reptile rather than a wolf.
“Well, it’s time to slowly disappear.”
Right after that, Muyaho shrugged his shoulders and his eyes returned to normal, and the horns that had grown were rapidly shrinking.
“Since when have you been like that?”
“Hmm?”
She tilted her head at Russell’s question and scratched her head.
“well. I don’t know when it started, but when I raised my strength to a certain extent, horns appeared and my eyes changed.”
A similar appearance to himself when using Yonginhwa.
It seems that he has not reached Yonghwa yet, but he seems to be using Yongin’s power almost instinctively.
‘How much I struggled to learn Yonginhwa…’
Maybe it’s a natural talent or sense. Muyaho asked at Russell, who smiled bitterly.
“So male. What are you planning to do from now on? If there is no other appointment, even dinner in the village…”
“Ah, thank you for the suggestion, but I have an appointment for dinner today.”
“promise?”
The place where Abet Forest was located was thousands of kilometers away from the capital.
A place that Russell shouldn’t have been able to come to because he can’t get out of a radius of more than 500 kilometers from the royal capital.
Nevertheless, the reason Russell was here was simple.
‘Because I needed someone to check the situation of the Beasts and Elves and submit a report.’
Russell, who has more than a simple friendship with both races, was the right person for this job.
Besides, today’s promise is—.
“I was supposed to see Her Highness the Princess.”
“Hmm, it can’t be helped if it’s a prior agreement with my older sister.”
Muyaho replied roughly as if he understood.
“It’s impossible to cut in line.”
Of course, I didn’t forget to pout my lips.
.
.
The distance between Wangdo and Abet Forest is thousands of kilometers.
The nearest warp gate to the capital was also hundreds of miles away, but it was no big deal to Russell.
Gyareuk-!
Pepper, who appeared in the form of a huge dragon, flew across the sky in an instant with Russell on board.
──────────!
It was not until evening when Russell returned to the royal capital, probably because he broke through the sky in a straight line and moved to the warp gate in an instant.
‘We still have some time…’
You can change out of your dusty clothes and wash yourself.
It was about an hour later that Russell, who had finished all the decorations, entered the royal castle.
The appointment with Hecate was a dinner party, so he arrived just in time.
The banquet menu continues without interruption, and everyday conversations that are not much different from other lovers continue.
It was Hecate who brought up the main topic first.
“By the way…”
She opened her mouth as she poked a spoon into the corn ice cream for dessert.
“Isn’t it about time to tell you why you asked for a meeting today? Are you?”
“Kek…”
Russell, who was stabbed in the middle of the moment, choked out to vomit the stuff that was stuck in his throat.
“Normally, you would have thought it was just a dinner date, but isn’t it the situation where the promised half-year is coming to an end soon? I thought I would have prepared a place because I had something I wanted to say.”
Hecate laughed as if he was having fun watching Russell calm down and take a deep breath.
“So, where are you this time? I can’t allow it if it’s an empire like last time…”
“It’s not an empire.”
“It’s not an empire—. That means it’s not even our territory.”
“yes.”
After Russell’s not-so-long explanation.
“The frozen land of the north… You are going to a place that is not easy this time too. dear.”
The frozen land in the north was a dangerous land in a different sense from the empire.
The country exists, but its influence is only partially in the southern territories.
It was a place where the further north we went, the more severely cold land appeared where people could not live properly.
Not only is the temperature dropping to dozens of degrees below zero, but even moving forward is not easy because there are extreme snowstorms for more than half of the year.
“And…even the invisible threats hiding under your eyes.”
Of course, I am well aware of the fact that Russell’s skills are not limited by those things.
However, as Jeong-in who promised a future, if he is not worried, that would also be funny.
“However, it’s probably not something that the would-be king should turn over what he promised with his mouth like the palm of his hand.”
With a sigh, Hecate spoke to Russell.
“I hope you dress well and return home safely.”
He commented quickly right after.
“Of course, there is still close to a month left, so in the meantime, focus on your work in the capital.”
It was the moment when permission was given to Russell’s northern journey.
