Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 266
Part 2 Episode 6
Spring Arrangement
After Elric leaves.
Arceus was left alone, holding his back and walking around the Mureungdo Garden, which had regained its original appearance.
Was it fun to meet the ‘child of prophecy’ mentioned by Sijo?
The smile never left my face.
“I hope you raise it well. “I’ll be very sad if I don’t get it right even though I’ve done this.”
At that time, a very small tree sprout poked its head out where Elric had been staying just a moment ago.
Arceus said while stroking it carefully.
“Don’t you think so, Ig?”
Yggdrasil.
It was the name of the seed that Arceus gave to Elric.
And it was also the name of the world tree that only exists in legends.
Elric began to grow the World Tree in his unconscious world without even realizing it.
Since ancient times, the World Tree has been known to connect heaven and earth at the center of the world.
The more it grows, the more powerful it will be to Elric.
A power that may eventually become a god.
In fact, when Arceus was alive, the last remaining world tree was broken by the demon god.
And at that time, Arceus ran away, barely keeping the seed in his bosom.
The reason Arceus disappeared from history early on was to protect this seed.
But a long time has passed and now I have found a place to plant that seed.
I just wanted him to grow up well.
Arceus spoke quietly as he looked at the new Yggdrasil that would grow endlessly in the future.
“I’m sure you’ll be good to me. “If you are a child who knows life.”
Both eyes looked somewhere.
As if looking at something.
“Don’t you think so, Sijo?”
* * *
『Mr. …Spring… Magical power… No way…!』
Elric opened his eyes to the sound of Mephisto’s voice that seemed to come from far away.
I glanced to the side and saw him talking something nearby.
My mind was so confused that I couldn’t understand anything.
However, next to Mephisto, Tasha is also running around and shouting here and there.
‘But why is the sound…’
I don’t even have a hearing loss, but I wonder if it sounds like a mumble, as if the sound has been blocked.
“ah…!”
Only then did Elric realize that the emerald part of the magic mirror was shining brilliantly, eating up all the surrounding noise.
A disorganized voice is heard as one gathers magical power.
“shit! Damn Mervinger bastards! “I never thought you would do such a useless thing.』
“Are you okay, Elric? He suddenly collapsed… Hey! “Is the congressman still far away?”
Apparently, there was an uproar because he collapsed while going into the arrangement.
Tasha was calling for a doctor, alert to her surroundings, as if she thought someone had attempted to assassinate her.
“Oh, it’s okay. Rather…”
There was something I needed to do right now rather than calming down the startled Tasha.
A beam of light emanates from the magic sword that wraps around dragon eggs in the air.
‘This…’
Elric instinctively reached out his hand to the dragon eggs in front of him and connected the green rays of light from the emeralds he had collected.
Then I felt Shin-Ah’s seal on the back of my hand tremble.
At that moment, Mephisto seemed to have sensed something and shouted in shock.
『Holy shit! Hey, stop!!』
Of course, Elric wasn’t one to care about that.
“【Wake up】.”
Soon, I could feel the magical power flowing through me as the magic stones and dragon eggs resonated with the chanting.
The magic power fluctuated violently.
Wooooow!
Jiiiing…!
Paaaa –
The eggs also trembled greatly, emitting a halo of light.
Anyone could see that it looked like it was preparing to crack the egg and come out.
“No way…”
Tasha opened her eyes and looked at the dragon eggs and Elric in turn, then covered her mouth.
Click, click!
Elric read the thoughts emanating from the three eggs, along with the feeling that their souls were connected by an invisible joint.
‘…He wants to come out.’
I had an instinctive sense of how to wake him up.
Elric injected magic power along the lines connected to the three eggs that only he could see.
Then the eggs began to eat up all the magic power they could find.
I tried to inject it very slowly, just in case it was fake.
The three eggs were making a fuss, demanding more to be given as if nothing had happened.
It felt like I was seeing a baby bird begging its mother bird for food.
Because of that, Elric had no choice but to supply more magical power.
‘what…?’
Later, I had to give much more than I had intended.
“Why is this happening?!”
Elric then realized that something was wrong and tried to withdraw his hand.
But it was already too late.
The eggs had already started to suck up Elric’s magic as if they were possessed.
The stone dust covering the egg fell away and it began to regain its original appearance.
It looks as bright as a jewel.
“Oh my god…”
Tasha was watching with tears in her eyes.
Elric felt like death, but the eggs seemed not to care and were now sucking up Elric’s magic down to the bone marrow.
As it went on, its size gradually increased, becoming much larger than the upper body of a person.
“shit! It’s not like those who have been extinct for over a thousand years are coming back to life!』
Mephisto shouted, his eyes frowning in disgust.
“No more…!”
But Elric had no time to worry about such things.
As my magic power was depleted, it felt dry and cracked.
It was then.
Tsk tsk!
The dragon’s egg began to crack.
Tasha and the scholars who followed her were all watching this incredible scene in amazement.
Damn it!
Finally, the first egg cracked.
“Kiyuyu!”
With brilliant golden scales.
“It’s gold! “Gold has appeared!”
Gold Dragon.
Tasha’s nose bleeds as she tilts her head and blinks her vertically slit eyes, which are characteristic of reptiles.
“The Gold Dragon, the leader of an ancient dragon species known for its intelligence…!”
Scholars from the Neresta family who gathered around were also shedding tears at the touching scene.
“I never thought I would see with my own eyes the resurrection of a dragon that was said to have become extinct a thousand years ago…!”
“Oh my god!”
“This is a great discovery that will change wizardry! Hahaha!”
The scholars stood up together and began to cheer for being here at this historic moment.
But the end wasn’t there.
After a while, the other eggs also began to split one after another.
Red and black respectively.
Although it looked a little smaller than Gold, it emerged from the egg with a dignified appearance as expected.
The atmosphere was now overheated, to the point where it made the entire room feel hot.
“it’s crazy…! This is the great discovery of the century! Elric…!”
Tasha said while the other one also had a nosebleed.
Tasha is happy with her nose bleeding.
But Elric had no strength to answer.
“The world… is spinning…”
Tasha looked back at Elric and screamed in horror.
“Eh, Elric?”
Elric fell backwards, his face completely white and pale.
And then I fainted.
The surprised scholars and Tasha rushed to catch him.
It was magical exhaustion.
* * *
“Hmm….”
On the bed.
Elric slowly opened his eyes.
Tasha was looking down at Elric with a face full of worry.
“Are you okay? “Everyone was so surprised when he suddenly collapsed a little while ago…!”
After briefly assessing the situation, Elric asked Tasha.
“How much time has passed?”
“It’s been about a day since you collapsed.”
Tasha had rushed Elric to a nearby village hospital after he suddenly collapsed.
He was diagnosed with magical exhaustion and settled down at an inn following the doctor’s advice that he would be fine if he rested.
‘Even though you collapsed from magical exhaustion, only one day passed?’
Elric felt puzzled.
If you suffer from magical exhaustion, you usually need to recuperate for one to two months.
If you have exceptional magic regeneration ability, about a week would be enough.
‘Still, one day is too early?’
Even Elric himself was surprised at how refreshed his body was.
Elric raised the back of his left hand and looked at Shina’s seal.
‘Perhaps it’s thanks to Shin-ah’s seal? Is this really… worth buying?’
Elric was so drained of his mana that his mana rod was completely split apart.
And yet, he was able to achieve the best condition in just one day.
Elric’s heart pounded at the power of Shina’s seal.
“If you wake up already…!”
“Oh, it’s okay.”
Elric tried to get up while reassuring Tasha, who prevented her from getting up, but he belatedly realized that his stomach was very heavy.
“…huh?”
“The dragons are waking up!”
It seemed like Tasha was more worried about these things, not herself.
‘Yongyong… guys?’
I was curious and saw that three dragons, each as big as a human head, were asleep on a boat.
“….”
Tasha’s mouth began to drool as she looked at the gold dragon, who was tossing and turning as if talking in his sleep.
‘no wonder. ‘I wondered why I was here.’
Elric shook his head and asked Tasha.
“Since when have you been like this?”
Tasha suddenly came to her senses, wiped her saliva and spoke.
“Oh, I’m sorry. “I thought Elric would be uncomfortable, so I tried to get it off somehow… but I couldn’t get it off.”
“Hmm.”
Elric stood up and tried to separate the dragons for a moment, but as Tasha said, they did not budge as if a rock had been placed on them.
Of course, if I had to separate it, it seemed like I could somehow use magic to separate it.
Still, it didn’t happen.
‘The magic power is still connected.’
It seemed that the connection did not fall off even after hatching.
Because of that, I felt like he was my own alter ego, so it was difficult to deal with him.
Instead, Elric barely got up, putting only one of the three on his head and holding the other two in his arms.
“it’s okay. As Tasha said, there is no need to wake up the children who are sleeping well.”
Tasha looked at Elric with eyes filled with emotion.
Ki-ing –
At that time, Gold sitting on Elric’s head was seen rolling around and talking in his sleep.
“Ah…”
Tasha moaned with an expression drenched in ecstasy.
Grumbling.
And a double nosebleed bursting out.
“Ta Tasha!”
Next to her, Hanabi urgently called out to her and clung to her.
Elric was dumbfounded for a moment and looked at the trash can without thinking.
There were countless bloody tissues in there.
“….”
…Isn’t that the level of excessive bleeding that requires going to the hospital?
Gold was noisy due to the brief commotion, so he slowly opened his eyes and looked at Tasha, then pretended not to see him and closed his eyes again.
Then, he adjusted his posture and burrowed into Elric’s hair.
Kiyu….
“Huh!”
But Tasha had to grab her heart again at the extreme cuteness.
“oh my god…. “Was the dragon that cute?”
Even the surrounding attendants were looking at the baby dragons with warm eyes.
on the other side.
There was only one person looking at it with disgust.
No, there were demons.
Mephisto muttered while chewing his fingernails while looking at the three baby dragons.
『Damn it… I guess I’ll have to do something about this.』
Mephisto, whose teeth would tremble when it comes to dragons, couldn’t help but feel impatient when the dragon was resurrected.
A dragon, a long-time enemy of the demons.
I thought we had finally made them extinct by hunting them down.
It must be frustrating for him to see them reappearing and growing so quickly just a short distance away.
Of course, Elric was not one to just sit there and watch.
[Just try touching it. If I do that, I’ll blow up the pot right away.]
Elric warned, glaring at him with his axe eyes open.
『Damn it…!』
In the end, all Mephisto could do right now was chew his teeth.
* * *
Elric hung the dragon, straightened his clothes, and came down to the first floor.
“Tasha, I have a favor to ask you.”
Tasha, who had come down earlier and was waiting for him, engaged in conversation with a serious attitude.
Of course, even so, both eyes were still focused on the baby dragons clinging to Elric like fruit.
“Yes, please tell me.”
Elric continued speaking with a bitter smile on his mind.
“If I’m going to raise these baby dragons in the future, I think I’ll need to know something about their food and habits.”
“Oh, it was the car that was investigating various things at the dragon’s nest.”
Elric had absolutely no intention of neglecting raising these baby dragons.
This is because I intuitively realized it the moment it connected with the dragons and magical power.
These dragons are all connected by Shina’s seal.
We definitely need to raise them properly, but…
‘We can move on to summer arrangements.’
