Elric quickly activated his magic and closed the gap between him and Leda.

Then he quickly asked Mephisto.

[How?]

He didn’t hide his surprise.

The more he competed with Leda, the more he felt that it was too much to deal with.

A little while ago, I thought about completely releasing the North Wind.

I also thought that if we pulled out all the Guardians and pushed them with the quantity, something might work out.

But in the end it didn’t work out.

‘The North Wind consumes more magic power than the cold snow. If it is deployed incorrectly, even Nahatram’s possession can be broken.’

But there was a bigger problem.

‘The curse… the mental interference is too severe.’

Leda was different from Judas.

He was using the seal given to him very well.

While using the famous seal on the right wing to push Elric to an overwhelming power gap.

The frantic seal on his left wing continued to touch Elric’s mental barrier.

curse.

They keep trying to manipulate Elric’s mind.

They tried to distract her from judgment by making her too excited, and at times, they tried to break her motivation by transforming her uncertainty about Leda into fear.

Fortunately, Elric had strong willpower and had unconsciously strengthened his mental power through Otto Han’s arrangements several times. Otherwise, something really big could have happened.

Couldn’t he have already lost half of his sense of self and been swayed by Leda?

It didn’t seem like he could beat Leda in any way.

I thought several times about summoning other ghosts during Chapter 6 of Winter.

Because they all have different organs and specialties.

If Nahatram had difficulty dealing with Leda because he was skilled in martial arts rather than magic, I couldn’t help but think that there might also be a ghost who could be said to be a natural enemy of Leda.

But none of them answered Elric’s call.

I’m still just sitting somewhere deep in the unconscious world.

He knew that they were not sleeping and were watching him quietly as his magical abilities grew stronger, but… that only made Elric frustrated.

I would have said something if he had said something, but there was nothing like that.

So I thought about calling Hermann and Sailor as another option, but Leda didn’t give me the chance to do that at all.

however.

Suddenly Mephisto is acting like he has a way to fight back?

Although doubts naturally arise, one cannot help but be tempted.

『Have you never thought about that? Your magic activation system is inferior.』

[What is that…?]

Elric was about to ask what he was talking about, but stopped without realizing it.

One side of Mephisto’s lip curled up further.

『Still, I guess you can’t guess anything, right?』

[…Please explain in detail. I don’t have time to organize my thoughts right now.]

Elric turned his gaze again.

Leda was looking away from the dragon again.

A tremendous amount of pressure pressed down on Elric’s shoulders again.

Exciting! Exciting!

As if Nahatram was not satisfied, his heart was pounding violently and his blood was flowing rapidly.

Whihwihwi!

Crrrrr-

The shadow surrounding Elric had suddenly risen up to his waist and was trembling violently.

It almost looked as if the animal living inside was crying because it was so feverish.

I really don’t like it. I feel like I have to tear it apart somehow to relieve my anger…

『I can’t believe I have to teach a lesson to the descendant of our archenemy who is trying to torment our demons so much. Ah, the king’s heart is as wide as the world…!』

[Stop nitpicking and speak properly!]

Elric finally couldn’t stand it anymore and started yelling, and only then did Mephisto give a proper answer. The corner of his mouth was still twitching as if he was dying of fun.

『Change the activation system.』

[Activation system…? Ah!]

With just that one word, Elric was able to immediately understand Mephisto’s words.

『The seal of the winter world you have. It can be said to be one of the few sums of human beings that even the King himself recognizes. But you’re saying something like that ‘at best’?』

Come to think of it, Mephisto had said something several times.

While the rank of the seals that can be used continues to rise, there is still very little development in the actual use of magic.

For example, it was like this.

Let’s say that after a long period of research, we have developed a very high quality and effective gunpowder. But what if the percussion device of the artillery that uses this is outdated?

There were two outcomes at this time.

Efficiency drops rapidly depending on the artillery.

Or, the canvas may be damaged after being used a few times because it cannot handle the heat for a long time.

This meant that there was a limit to properly bringing out the power of the winter seal with the verbal magic that Elric was currently using.

『It won’t matter if you just use the seal you have to use ice magic. But if you want to use power-level magic, will that be enough? Do you think it will be possible to embody it properly?』

Authority is far superior to magic.

If so, you need to have a proper trigger device to handle it properly.

Right now at this moment.

Elric felt like he had been hit hard in the back of the head.

『Then what should I do?』

[…I have to get it.]

Leda was kicking the ground with her wings spread wide. As if they were going to completely get rid of Elric now.

『What?』

[That’s right…]

Elric gritted his teeth as he pulled the ice spear up again from the ice that had condensed at the tip of his toes.

[Stronger and stronger!]

Elric did not aim the ice spear at Leda.

In any case, even if you start an all-out war, you will only be defeated.

In that case, the fighting method had to be changed now.

‘I need to buy time.’

Fortunately, there was a very good teacher next to Elric who could teach him magic that was higher than the level of magic.

Of course, it wasn’t Mephisto.

Demons and demon lords simply handle their natural seals instinctively and are far from the spirit of speech.

But wouldn’t it be different if it were a dragon that spoke ‘dragon’, which can be said to be the end of words?

Kwaaaaang!

Elric struck the floor hard with his ice spear.

Then, as a winter storm swept through, cracks spread through the heavily frozen cave floor.

As if a spider’s web was spreading, the entire cavity was quickly covered with cracks, with ice fragments and powder flying upward.

“You’re trying to do something stupid again, Mervinger!”

Leda sneered at Elric as he randomly picked up a cloud of ice powder.

It seemed like he was about to unleash another winter storm, but it seemed like he was showing confidence that something like that wouldn’t be able to catch him.

but.

“You can tell if it’s nonsense or not when you see it, right?”

Elric uttered a new command while looking at Leda who had come right in front of him.

“【Explode】.”

『Pahahaha! also! One little hair is amazingly good!』

With Mephisto’s laughter behind him, the ice powder and pieces that had filled the cave exploded all at once.

Powder explosion.

A natural phenomenon in which fine particles are floating in the air and if a spark accidentally catches them, a huge explosion occurs.

Of course, in order to do this, it had to be dried as much as possible without any moisture in the air, but that was easily accomplished.

All I had to do was to quickly place the magic fields one by one according to the results of the calculations in my head and pull the trigger device called Eonryeong.

Kwakwakwak!

Rumble –

The inside of the cave was suddenly swept by an explosion.

Chain explosion. Big and small explosions occurred one after another, blocking the space between Elric and Leda.

“What nonsense…!”

Leda tried to blow away the explosion by scattering demonic energy in all directions, as if wondering what she could do with this trick.

But there was something he hadn’t thought about.

The cave had already been damaged so much that it would not be surprising if it collapsed immediately due to the fierce battle between him and the dragon.

The ceiling collapsed.

No, the cave completely collapsed.

Kwazijic –

Kukukukuku…!

Elric quickly looked down at his shadow as he surrounded several layers of barriers around him to prevent the dragon from getting hurt in the process.

“hey.”

what?

Unlike Mephisto, Hyul still has no idea what Elric is trying to do, and only his thoughts are filled with doubts.

Her voice was full of irritation and anger, as if it had been quite humiliating to have been pushed out by Leda.

It was a wild beast itself that was angry from hunger because it could not eat as much food as it wanted.

As he became the seal of the chest and grew in size, his hunger also increased.

“You don’t like that guy, right?”

What do you want to say?

“Go wild as you want.”

Ho… is that okay?

The Demon King named Hul was the archenemy of Elric’s teacher, Augustine, and the object of his ancestors’ grudges that he tried to overcome.

But what I meant was that I could let myself run wild like that.

“Is there anything you can’t do? “It’s my heart.”

Elric didn’t care at all.

In the first place, I was confident that I could take back as much as I wanted as long as I held the reins of the guy in the form of a seal.

At that moment, I saw the ceiling where Elric was collapsing.

“【Be released】.”

The moment when the command was given to release the chains that had been binding Hyul’s thought form.

Clunk- clunk-

clunk-clunk-

I heard a series of sounds as if locks were being unlocked one after another.

The owner will live up to your expectations.

The shadow began to rise higher.

Something else was about to rise above the shadows, as if a huge beast hidden in the depths of the abyss was about to emerge above the surface.

and.

Kwakwakwakwa!

As the earthquake became more intense, the cave completely collapsed.

* * *

Kukukuku…!

“What is that…!”

“The cave… collapsed…?”

“The cave is collapsing!”

“Holy place…!”

“Guardian Dragon…!”

The eyes of those who were engaged in a fierce battle outside the dragon’s nest turned in that direction. Everyone, regardless of whether they are humans or demons.

The Star Servants were anxious because they knew that Elric had entered the cave, and Grigory stamped his feet because he could not figure out what had happened to Demon King Leda.

In particular, the complexions of the Borfur warriors were all pale and sick of the fact that the tribe’s long-standing sacred site was being destroyed.

Rather, only Sarnai, who cannot see, remains calm.

However, instead of concentrating on something, she soon came to her senses and hurriedly raised her head high.

“Appear! “Everyone be careful!”

People couldn’t understand what she was talking about, but they instinctively realized that it meant that another dangerous situation would occur, and they tensed up.

Right at that moment.

Kwaaaaang!

A violent explosion that was incomparable to any explosion that had occurred so far occurred at the edge of the collapsed cave.

Whihwihwihwi!

And as a white winter storm blew right there, ‘something’ was slowly growing in size.

“Is that…?”

“how…!”

Those who saw it opened their eyes wide, and Grigori’s demons held their breath at the appearance of a new demon energy pressing on their entire bodies.

It was a beast.

A beast made of shadows… exceeding several meters in size.

What appeared to be a wild cat, such as a lion or a tiger, opened its eyes.

The air… is really good. There are so many things I want to eat.

Hul(獝).

It was the moment when the Demon King, who had once driven the Eastern Continent into chaos, opened his eyes for the first time in decades.
