Dragon-Devouring Mage - Chapter 70
Episode 70
EPISODE.35
“Elder.”
It was the moment when I was about to move my steps toward him, just in case.
thud-!
A large man stood in front of Russell. As if the first feeling of heaviness was not a lie, the ground echoed this time as well.
Then Elder Spiegelman reached out to Russell.
“I am fine.”
He spread his palms wide and stopped walking.
“I don’t know if it’s three, but at least, even if I don’t win, I won’t lose easily.”
Spiegelman’s eyes, saying that, felt as hard as rocks.
It has to be.
Because they were the ones who slaughtered the fellow wizards at the base camp they were excavating together.
Although it was impossible to save them because they were being pushed back in terms of numbers and capabilities.
Isn’t this the one-on-one situation you’ve been longing for?
“I think I need to feed at least one foot so that my stomach feels better.”
“This man doesn’t even know the subject!”
Sparks flew in the eyes of the cultist woman. Raising her twin wicks, she sends out magical energy with both hands.
As if in response, Spiegelman’s mana took root in the land.
Kwajik Kwajik-.
As if a small earthquake occurs, the surrounding ground begins to crack.
‘How safe can I be?’
At the sight, Russell turned around.
I turned to the man hiding a mass several times greater than that of a normal adult male under a robe.
“Are you my opponent?”
He was a man who had never opened his mouth even once.
Just in case, I asked a question, but then it is.
Instead of answering, the giant’s body flinched.
Magic? If not, other means?
There was no time to think about it, the wind pressure came in.
bang!
With an explosion, Russell’s new model was pushed back.
‘A physical attack from there?’
To think that a distance of more than ten meters could be narrowed in the blink of an eye.
Russell frowned at the piercing pain despite crossing his arms to block it.
“What kind of power…!”
Unlike other wizards, he had been training more than a certain level of physical strength.
In addition, the power of Overlord and Wizard Body dragon blood was added to it, and the body became even stronger.
Still feel the pain!
Kwang Kwa Deuk Kwa Deuk!
Russell, who jumped up to avoid the ensuing combo, opened his eyes wide as if he saw something he couldn’t see.
purple red green etc.
Muscles of various colors were entwined along the fist that had been slammed into the ground where Russell had just stood.
All of them are unreasonable to see as ordinary human muscles.
“chimera?”
Russell shouted in surprise, and at the same time tentacles shot through the air.
Cephalopod tentacles reminiscent of squid, octopus, or kraken swung at Russell at once.
Kwagwagwa!
It was a tentacle protruding from the left arm of the giant man.
Well over ten tentacles coiled around Russell’s body.
And the next moment!
Roaring!
Between them, a fierce fire raged.
Its tentacles dried up along with powerful flames, giving off a savory, nostalgic smell.
Hwareuk!
The protruding sparks moved onto the man’s robe.
To extinguish the flames, the man threw off the robe he was wearing.
Flutter-!
A robe large enough to set up a tent rolls across the floor, revealing a hideous figure beyond it.
Those of the monsters that seem to have been implanted everywhere in the red-hot eyes.
And the thing wrapped around his waist is a huge tail.
“□□ □□-.”
The first sound came from the man. However, I just couldn’t form a proper writing or sentence.
“It’s not that you didn’t talk, was it that you couldn’t?”
Russell frowned as he looked at the steel thread that was threading the man’s mouth disgustingly.
‘Did you have a cephalopod leg implanted on your left arm, enough muscles from four or more monsters on your right arm?’
Presumably, the tail must have been planted with that of a hairless Hound-type monster.
‘The legs were made of monsters with strong leaping power and high-speed movement to increase efficiency-.’
many more besides that.
It was only then that Russell was able to figure out the identity of the giant mass and overwhelming speed it possessed.
‘A mere chimera? If not, am I a crazy cultist who transformed my body into a chimera?’
If it’s the latter, he’s probably the one with the most crazy head among cultists…
‘The answer seems to be the latter.’
Drawing a magic circle wriggling tentacles that have been burned is proof of that!
‘5th circle?’
Surprisingly, it was Darkness Piercing, the 5th circle black magic.
Apparently, he was a 5th Circle Warlock before transforming into a Chimera.
Nettle liquid Papabak!
A spear of darkness created in the air aimed at the place where Russell stood and pierced it.
Russell, who avoided it with his nimble movements, cast magic.
Right after that, the flames pouring out of his grip curved like a whip and hit the guy’s body.
Kwajeok!
“□□□□-!!!”
The flames accompanied by physical force let out a scream and flew away.
Wow!
As the mass was large, the impact of being slammed to the floor was also great.
“□□□!!!”
However, it seems that the damage was not as great as the impact.
“Speed and physical attack, as well as durability, are above average.”
In the normal way, it would take quite a long time to defeat him.
In general, a mage who has just risen to the 5th circle would be defeated within thirty minutes.
Either way, it wasn’t the direction Russell wanted.
‘I have to finish the fight as quickly as possible and go to help Elder Spiegelman.’
Without hesitation, Russell drew in a breath. He drew deep breath into his lungs and released the dragon’s power.
Kow woo woo-!
‘Partial acceptance.’
As soon as I finish thinking, I feel something growing inside my mouth.
It was a fang.
Sharply grown fangs collided with each other.
up
At the same time, Russell’s eyes are stained with a bright gold light.
Anger-!
Dragon fear spread like paint in the form of pressure.
!!!
* * *
The corners of his mouth twitched up and down.
The playfulness that overflowed your face has long since disappeared.
There were only two emotions on his face now.
anger and envy.
The place where those emotions were directed was to a man named Alan.
As the mana in the area cools down, you can feel the temperature around you drop.
Along with him, a huge ball of ice fell right over his head.
Kwajeojeogjeogjeog!
I avoided it by a narrow car, but it was a really close-knit situation.
In addition, the ball of ice is broken and the ball is scratched by the fragments that burst out!
It’s not just a coincidence, it’s a clear move that we’ve been aiming for this far.
‘This damn kid-.’
In addition, I could see that an ice sheet was forming on the nearby land.
blah blah blah-.
The ice sheet that started under Alan’s feet gradually expanded its territory and surrounded the upper garden.
The surrounding moisture begins to freeze rapidly.
evil square.
Wee Garden gritted her teeth as she felt the tiny ice grains brush her skin.
Fast-.
He was a familiar rumor about a narrow-eyed genius.
The youngest pupil of Hemingway Melville, the owner of the window tower, in his later years, and a supernova that shook the world of magic.
Not too long ago, Wigarden thought that evaluation was exaggerated.
I also thought that reaching the level of 5th circle at a young age was achieved simply because I was lucky.
but what
Alan’s ability that he met in person was beyond what he had imagined.
He is accustomed to not only the ability to manipulate magical powers, but also to give variations to formulas.
More than anything-.
‘I’m used to the fighting method of taking distance.’
It means that he is a War Mage who is equipped with practical combat experience, not a saengnim who has only read magic books in a small room.
It’s not like he borrowed his power through a contract like himself, but he has such skills at his age!
‘The world is so unfair!’
Complaints are complaints, and things to be acknowledged had to be acknowledged.
The opponent’s skill is one step higher than your own.
If the fight continues like this, he will surely lose.
‘But…’
Isn’t it a fight that started to win in the first place.
All he had to do was hold this genius here and buy time until he took the artifact.
It was clear that the target opponent, Russell Raymond, would at least be weaker than the genius in front of him.
‘I’m just a kid who just joined the 5th circle.’
It was the very next moment.
A frenzied presence pressed down on the area.
!!!
.
.
It is literally an overwhelming presence.
The battle between Wiegarden and Alan, as well as the female cultist and Spiegelman, is also a presence that can be temporarily lulled.
All four of them turned their heads in unison.
Involuntarily, they turned their heads to check the direction Russell was in.
――――――――――!
The atmosphere around Russell shuddered violently.
It seemed that the magic power of the area was running wild.
It wasn’t actually like that, but the sensation was no different from that.
Despite the distance, goose bumps run through the body.
“What is this…”
Spiegelman muttered, unable to hide his trembling voice.
That was the moment.
Fire!
The huge presence that had been photographed around him disappeared like a lie.
The mana, which only felt like a frenzy, quickly finds a sense of stability.
In the midst of that, Russell let out a long breath.
“Suu-.”
I didn’t know how it was, but Russell was at the center of what just happened.
Alan, who witnessed the whole scene, could feel a part of his heart beating fast.
At the same time, a feeling in my heart raised its head.
‘I was in the 4th circle just a while ago, but in the meantime, not only did I rise to the 5th circle, but I can’t believe I have this level of presence.’
anger or envy.
It wasn’t such a cheap feeling.
The emotions that bloomed in Alan’s heart are funny.
throbbing.
– It was clearly a win-win spirit.
.
.
“Suu-.”
Russell exhaled and clicked his tongue slightly.
I wondered what it meant because the concentration of dragon fear was thicker than before.
‘I couldn’t believe it meant something like this.’
It was the first time I tried Yonginhwa after joining the 5th circle, so controlling my peers was a bit late.
Before that, it wasn’t even worth controlling.
‘Anyway.’
Russell stopped in mid-air and stared at the ground with his eyes wide open.
[176]
[175]
Maybe because it became the 5th circle.
Otherwise, the maintenance time also increased by nearly 3 minutes, probably because it was partially tolerated.
Right away, all kinds of information starts pouring in through the open eyes and the other five senses.
If you look at the world through the eyes of an insect like a dragonfly, would it be like this?
After a moment of dizziness, what came over me was a subtle sense of omnipotence.
It must be because of the greatly increased magic power and expanded senses.
However, you should not get drunk with this omnipotence.
‘The increased power is only temporary.’
Of course, he wasn’t really omnipotent either.
Clearly knowing one’s limits is also a skill as a mage.
Fortunately, the durability of the punching bag that will serve as the test bed is-.
“□□□□-!”
– It looked very sturdy.
