Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 195

Episode 195

: The Founder of the Dragon

‘The Founder of the Dragon?’

The dragon’s master.

Those words were strongly embedded in Elric’s mind.

Once again, the content I had seen in the Demonic Demonstration ceremony passed through my mind.

The image of the progenitor, wielding a dragon with one hand and handling a giant with the other.

Because she is wearing a robe, it is impossible to guess her appearance, age, or even gender.

A person who shined more brilliantly and smiled brightly than anyone else.

But if what this dragon said was true, then the scene was definitely not a lie.

The founder of dragons!

Until now, as people knew, dragons were a species that was praised for being so great that they were separately called the ‘highest species of the land.’

This was because there was a myth that they were the ones who created magic and helped humans imitate it.

So, among some schools of the Magic Tower, there were even those who discussed dragons as being on the same level as gods.

however.

Such a dragon actually says that Mervinger is great.

He also says that he waited for Mervinger.

‘Does this dragon mean the Jewel Dragon? Or something else…? No matter what happened, what was it that was waiting for me…!’

Elric asked, trying to organize his confused thoughts.

This was the first question that came to mind as I pondered over and over again.

[Who are you?]

【I… am nothing.】

Nothing?

What on earth does this mean?

【I… just wait… waiting… I just want to see… what he… said… so… I forced myself here. Eh… the only thing I can do is hold my breath… such a… dead person.】

【But… but… I want to see it sooner… dragon’s blood… The being… who sent my shadow… under the ground…】

The dragon’s words were incoherent. It means that your mind is not sound enough to speak coherently.

However, he seemed like he wanted to reveal the things that had been piled up in his heart over the years.

Maybe he needed someone to talk to after being trapped in such a stuffy place for so long.

【And then… Now… finally… I am the one who will receive… the glory… of seeing… the end… everything. Ah… Dragon King… I can only… be grateful… for your grace. I just…!】

‘I can’t keep letting you talk to yourself.’

Elric felt like he should stop the dragon mid-sentence. As time passed, he seemed to have no idea what he was saying.

Reason was becoming clouded.

So, Elric is going to ask the next question.

thud!

Suddenly, the dragon lifted up its lying body with difficulty.

Immediately, my back hit the ceiling of the cave and the cave shook violently. Stone dust rained down.

【But… but… nothing has become clear yet… a test… to see if you are really… the person… he… was talking about…‧ I have to take a look…!】

Test.

I was very nervous, wondering if some kind of magic might unfold at those words.

“That test. “Let me take it.”

Suddenly, an echo rang from behind.

It’s a very low voice, but it’s filled with so much magical power that it makes ghosts tremble just by hearing it.

Elric quickly turned his gaze backwards.

Jerk.

Jerk.

A man was walking slowly with low steps.

Maybe 190 centimeters? No, it seemed a little bigger than that.

He was extremely tall and had a slim build, so he looked like a scarecrow.

He looked so sick that I thought he might fall sideways if I hit him hard.

In fact, the black magical energy that contrasted with the white skin and swirled outward made me feel fear.

‘Grigori!’

Elric was able to figure out who it was right away.

Aren’t there a number of demons who were trying to pioneer this nest that was as complicated as a maze? However, it seemed like he had succeeded in finding the exit of the maze.

However, they were of a different class from the demons who easily died in the dragon’s rampage.

That was a guy who could use some of Azazel’s power.

bowl.

He is essentially the same as Judas, whom Elric dealt with.

However, he was different from Judah, who was only half an idiot.

It was much stronger than that.

In other words, it meant that he contained much more of Azazel’s power.

That means one thing.

Demon King.

It means that it is a being that can be called that!

“You finally found it, Guardian Dragon.”

Hwaaa!

Berserk.

The seal of a jackdaw screaming at him was shining darkly and shining through his shirt.

“Do you know how much suffering, time and effort we put into finding you?”

Whihwihwi!

Kurrrr…!

Wow!

Is it because of the whirlpool of madness he creates?

As the cave shook violently, the magical energy emitted by the dragon was being dissipated indiscriminately.

It was evidence that the nest, which had been both a prison for the dragon and his precious home, was slowly being stained with demonic energy and was turning into a small demonic realm.

Perhaps it stimulated the dragon’s nature, which was barely suppressed, and eventually it came out again and consumed reason.

The dragon spread its wings wide and roared.

The air trembled violently and shook so loudly that I thought the cave might collapse. The more this happened, the more cracks gradually spread in the cave that was holding on precariously.

Even though if you make a mistake, you could be buried alive in a collapsing cave.

The demons didn’t seem to care about that at all.

“This is such a shame. Still, I thought you would accept my greeting even if I didn’t show you any hospitality. “Aren’t we the only ones who found you, who had been looking for you for over a thousand years?”

The reason why Grigori had been hiding in the eastern borderlands for so long.

It was to find this nest.

If you can obtain the Dragon Heart, Azazel’s resurrection will be that much faster.

“The condition is much more serious than I thought, so I don’t know how helpful it will be to our God… but I guess I’ll give it a try anyway.”

The demon smiled and slightly bent his hand like a hook. Then, long fingernails filled with condensed demonic energy grew from the tips of the five fingers.

Paaaat!

As the demon lunged at the dragon, the dragon opened its mouth wide and let out a rough breath.

No matter how much of his power he lost over the years, he did not completely lose his qualifications as a dragon.

It looked as if the breath of heat was so hot that it would just melt the cave walls and engulf the demons.

Sigh!

The demon lightly waved its hand in the air as if it was nothing, pushing all of its breath aside, and immediately rushed at the dragon, extending its opposite claw to the side.

It sounded like lightly tearing paper. However, the dragon’s blood gushed like a fountain between the five large gaps in space.

Big!

The five wounds left on the dragon’s long neck were so deep that even the bones inside were fully exposed.

Crawl, crow, crow!

Kwakwakwakwa –

As if trying to shake off the pain, the dragon sharpened its instincts even more, trying to catch the demon somehow.

The chaos began.

“Ha ha ha ha ha! They say it’s the last remaining dragon in the world! “Aren’t you a lot weaker than I thought?”

However, as a demon, there was nothing to be afraid of like a dragon that couldn’t use magic properly and only recklessly attacked with hand-to-hand combat.

Even in the midst of the huge explosion and roar, the guy’s light could be heard so clearly.

Then.

Swish!

Even with the dragon in front of the demon, he suddenly turned his gaze back.

there.

There was Elric’s ghost.

The guy was looking straight at Elric.

Sigh!

The guy didn’t say anything or say anything special.

He just smiles until his fangs are clearly visible.

However, the white teeth showing between the red lips were cruelly creepy.

and.

Sigh!

A sharp wind blew from somewhere and cut down the ghost greatly. The ghost was torn to pieces on the spot. A black stain obscured my vision.

Tuk!

Elric’s vision sharing was cut off.

* * *

It was some time later that Elric was able to calm his headache and regain his senses.

Because I was so deeply assimilated with the ghost, the penalty I received from being forced to cut off the shared view was quite significant.

『I never thought Grigori would show up at the end. Ugh! I don’t like that.』

Mephisto had already returned from the nest and was frowning.

『Are you going to leave it like that? Are they trying to steal our bonanza?

To be precise, he was trying to intercept something that Grigori had been predicting for a long time.

As always, Mephisto was thinking of everything to his advantage.

“Of course not.”

The problem was that Elric thought the same thing.

Elric also had no intention of losing the Dragon’s Nest to the Grigori like this.

The dragon said he was waiting for him.

I also said I would take a test.

That means the dragon can give something to itself.

You can’t miss something like that, right?

No, even setting aside the dragon’s prowess, it was absolutely impossible to let the Grigori prosper.

‘The problem is that he definitely didn’t come alone.’

Elric felt the need to move the star army.

I rested well for over a month, built up a lot of stamina, and improved my skills even for a short period of training.

We will defeat them and take back the dragon’s nest.

and.

‘We will advance straight to Grigori’s headquarters.’

At this moment, Elric was able to completely set goals for how to move forward.

One of the three pillars that made up the rebel army was Grigori.

I decided to uproot it.

If that were the case, the rebels would have no choice but to be greatly shaken.

And that was also the family mission that Mervinger had to follow as the head of the family at the time.

at las.

It was time for the star servant to undergo rehabilitation.

* * *

but.

Elric’s decision did not follow through immediately.

“what?”

Because a completely unexpected internal conflict broke out.

“Say it again.”

The soldier who posted the report became restless even though he had done nothing wrong, and soon closed his eyes and spoke in a voice of frustration.

“Brian was seriously injured. That is why he is lying in bed.”

That moment.

『Your eyes…?』

For a moment, Mephisto widened his eyes as if he was surprised when he saw Elric, but decided that it was not the time to go out and kept his mouth shut.

Elric’s eyes were shining sinisterly.

but.

It seemed somehow similar to the eyes of a dragon fighting demons.

Eyes that are a mixture of seething nature and magic.

And the eyes that violently capture everything.

“Who are you?”

Is it because of that?

Elric’s voice was also somehow mixed with waves of strong magic power, enough to make my skin tremble.

“Who on earth did something like that?”

Wizard who swallowed talent
