Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 202
Episode 202
: The founder of the dragon
“Master of the dragon?”
“dragon? “What do you mean?”
Sailor, who had only heard that Batu was drunk on dragon’s blood, tilted her head when she heard this for the first time.
Hermann also seemed quite taken aback by the completely unexpected words.
Since ancient times, for those living in the modern era, dragon is a word that can only be heard in old fairy tales unless you are a wizard.
Sailor briefly explained to Herman the legend of the Borfur people.
The Borfur people, who believe themselves to be descendants of dragons, have protected the guardian dragon’s nest as a sacred place for a long time.
Only then was Hermann able to understand the context of the words.
“Then you are the owner of that dragon…?”
Sarnai nodded calmly.
“yes. that’s right.”
“It would be like giving wings to a tiger that is already running well.”
Hermann burst into laughter for a moment.
Given the circumstances, it was obvious who the owner of the dragon referred to here was.
Elric Mervinger.
“I guess this is what they meant by telling us to take the dragon’s power.”
Sarnai nodded again and said to the question posed by Sailor.
“The God of Changcheon is the one who watches and guides.”
“Observe and guide?”
“yes. Just as God commanded, He is as warm as the sky that covers the world and just looks at all things indifferently. Just stay still. “Because that is Changcheon.”
Sailor nodded.
Usually, the name of a god refers to the attributes and status of the god.
Properly grasping and understanding the conceptual meaning contained therein.
That is the shortcut to faith.
I thought that the god of the sky that Sarnai worships could be understood as the commonly known sky.
“But he is sometimes capricious… and often lends his eyes to those who desperately want something. And he led them there.”
“hmm.”
“her!”
A mythical story that ordinary people cannot understand or understand at all. Sailor and Herman were completely soaked in it.
“In the meantime, the dragon desperately wanted guidance, and God agreed to grant it. “That’s how the oracle came down.”
“hmm?”
“Now wait a minute! “Does that sound like the dragon is alive?”
Hermann looked quite embarrassed, but Sarnai nodded as if it was a problem.
“yes. The guardian dragon is alive. Although he has lost most of his old dignity and power. “The earnest wish for a new master to appear and the obligation to wait for him and deliver something forced him, who should have left this land long ago, to be tied to this place.”
“So the God of Changcheon felt sorry for that and decided to grant your wish?”
“I don’t know the exact story either. Except that there was a covenant between the person I served and the old Dragon King. The problem is that Batu….”
“Batu got caught in the middle of it?”
“Batu received blood from the guardian dragon. The Guardian Dragon, who appreciated his bravery, ordered him to find the promised owner so that he could share his blood.”
Sailor smiled bitterly.
“But you didn’t listen.”
“…yes.”
“Or rather, are you trying to kill the dragon’s master? “Then why did you want to go to the Empire?”
Sarnai nodded heavily.
Sailor clicked her tongue.
Now I feel like I know how the story goes.
Batu received strength from the guardian dragon. However, it was only a blessing bestowed by the guardian dragon in gratitude to the Borfur people who had protected their home for a long time.
Then, I would have asked for one favor. The God of Changcheon said he would come soon, but asked for the guide who had not come for a long time to come.
Batu promised to do so, but given his personality, he would have had no intention of carrying out his promise.
So they united the tribes and moved on to the empire.
It wasn’t to take the dragon’s owner away.
It was to kill him so that he could take the dragon’s power for himself.
The problem was that Batuu just passed Elric by.
When we encountered a trap dug by the Red Lion Army. Even though Batu and Elric were in the same space, they did not collide. If Batu had recognized Elric, he would not have left him alone.
No, if only Sarnai had given Elric a hint about this. There was no way Batu would have missed something right in front of his eyes.
anyway.
As a result, Elric and the Star Wars ended up drifting in the middle of the enemy lines as if they were on a shipwreck.
In a way, it could be said that it was a natural step to naturally follow Sailor to the sacred place where Sarnai was located.
It is all India arranged by Sarnai with the help of Changcheon.
So I thought everything would end as intended.
“But here’s where a problem arose.”
“An unexpected, uninvited guest intervened?”
Sarnai nodded, and Sailor and Herman knew that this was what they had to catch now.
Demon.
Grigori was targeting the Holy Land.
“First, I need to think about it after giving the successor a proper title, such as whether he is the dragon’s master or something.”
Hermann still had a hard time understanding what the guardian dragon’s guidance was and what the oracle given by the God of Heaven was.
but.
He decided to sum up the situation very simply.
Let’s give Elric an advantage.
Well, wouldn’t that be good for everyone?
“You’ve arrived.”
At that moment, I felt a spicy scent along the forest.
A dull, tingling feeling on the skin.
It was a force that aroused rejection in humans.
It was Magi.
“All in Geochang!”
Everything!
Following Hermann’s shout, the knights all raised their lances high.
Just before departure. A lance on which Elric personally engraved magic letters.
It was a disposable artifact designed to explode spontaneously when thrown.
sparkle!
The blade of the spear hit the sunlight, revealing its sharp teeth.
* * *
Boom!
Kwaang…!
Rumble –
Winona, the demon, clicked her tongue at the powerful power felt from the ‘holy place.’
“As expected… Leda is amazing.”
Bishop Leda.
Even within the Grigori, the position of bishop, of which there are only five positions… no, now only four positions remain, was an honorable position given only to ‘vessels’ originally designed to accept Azazel.
And to that extent, those who sat on the bishopric boasted of unrivaled power, following Azazel.
Because of this, it was true that even the highest priests within the organization could not treat bishops carelessly.
In fact, Leda was revealing her power without hesitation, as if to prove that fact.
Even though it was covered by the huge canyon that formed the dragon’s nest, the aftershocks from the fierce battle could be felt up to here.
At times, it was so intense that I thought the ground was about to collapse.
In particular, the wind blowing from the canyon was carrying thick magical energy.
Some demons who had already fallen in rank had long since turned pale.
I thought that if someone next to me touched me, I would faint.
However, even though Winoda was a senior officer, he could not even think of helping them.
My nose is three feet wide. Who on earth can I help?
I just hoped that the dragon hunt would end as quickly as possible.
“Even those who protect the sanctuary will soon realize the truth. hmm!”
No, I’m sure you already knew.
It was strange that the organization had been conducting frequent field trips to find this nest for a long time, and that so many people were moving around and hoping to go unnoticed.
Above all, isn’t it a secret in the first place that they have a priestess with ‘eyes of the sky’?
Of course, Winoda never paid attention to the Borfur people.
Even so, a non-interference treaty has been signed between Batu and Grigori, who have now united 12 mountain tribes.
But what if Batu found out that this was done before the seal on the seal had even dried?
Now, just when they were about to throw off the humiliation of 30 years ago and begin a full-fledged invasion of the empire, they found themselves caught up in nothing.
‘If something doesn’t work out, I can just sort it all out later.’
That’s why, at times, Winoda was even thinking about completely clearing out this area.
Murderous insect.
There is nothing more certain than killing someone and silencing them.
I didn’t have to worry about resistance or anything like that.
With the power they had now, they could easily trample on a small village like that.
‘After that, I have to find Mervinger who disappeared… I’m very busy. busy.’
The mission given to Bishop Leda and themselves was to hunt the dragon and clean up its rear.
In order to make up for the lack of magical power that is most needed for Azazel to descend, we must hunt dragons, find Mervinger, who is said to be hiding somewhere in the mountainous area, and stop him.
The fact that the one remaining Mervinger killed Bishop Judas is already a well-known fact even within Grigori.
There was already no demon within the organization who did not know that the high priest went on a rampage because one of the dishes was broken.
So currently, not only dragon hunting but also Mervinger hunting was the organization’s top priority.
In the end, Winoda, who took on all of this work at once, could not help but feel anxious.
‘by the way.’
Winoda narrowed her eyes.
‘The hunt is taking longer than expected…’
The search party reported that the remaining dragons here had long since lost all of their original powers, so they would be able to hunt them soon if the bishop level stepped forward.
It had already long since exceeded the expected time.
Normally, reinforcements would have to be sent into the nest immediately… but the problem was that Leda was not the type of person to tolerate such a thing.
‘How do I do it?’
At that time, Winoda’s worries deepened slightly.
“Hey, Winoda.”
He suddenly turned his gaze towards his subordinate’s call.
“Why are you doing that?”
“Isn’t something… strange?”
“What do you mean?”
Winoda tilted his head as he looked at his subordinate, whose complexion was hard.
This guy was one of the few staff members in the Demon Army under Leda who played a critical role.
“The air… is too quiet.”
“hmm?”
Winoda opened her eyes wide.
There was definitely something strange.
I didn’t feel the sound of insects or anything like that when they moved. Because Magi was a law that went against the general laws of nature.
But still, there was something called ‘feeling’.
The silence is so deep.
It’s like watching a quiet night before a storm…
doo doo doo…!
Then, beyond the silence, a faint sound of the ground shaking was heard.
I thought it might have been an aftershock from the dragon’s nest, but it wasn’t.
The direction of the epicenter was different.
It sounded like a herd of horses running.
“It’s a surprise attack! Everyone get into defensive formation…!”
Winoda shouted urgently.
Just when the subordinates were also trying to make a hasty move.
Whoosh whoosh –
I saw javelins pouring down in this direction all at once along the sky.
There appear to be hundreds of javelins.
but.
The problem didn’t stop there.
Chop clap!
Puff Puff Puff –
By the time we reached this side, each javelin was separated into more than ten fragments with a small explosion!
Tens of thousands of extremely small and extremely sharp spear blade fragments immediately covered the demons like a shower.
