Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 353
Part 2, Episode 93
: What did
Summer Elric find out in the Jewel Forest?
The truth was that each of the baby dragons had awakened their own special abilities.
-What are you doing?
The representative one among them is the Gold Dragon Yongil.
It was lying on its belly right under the jewel tree with its mouth wide open.
I watched with dumbfounded eyes, wondering if they were waiting for the fruit to fall off on their own.
Isn’t the jewel really falling out of the guy’s mouth on its own?
Even the angle was correct.
At first, I thought it was just a coincidence, but the fruits that fell afterwards were also the same.
At that moment, Elric knew.
Yong-il’s laziness awakened a new ability.
Telekinesis.
Even thinking about it now, it was so absurd.
Who would have known that gems could be eaten like that?
However, it is widely known in academia that each type of dragon has unique abilities.
So, I quietly watched Yong (Red) and Yongsam (Black) to see if they would awaken their special abilities.
It wasn’t long before they realized that each of them had awakened the ability to manipulate the element of fire and turn water into poison.
‘Especially among them, the dragon was a big hit.’
The dragon was able to accurately determine the location and flow of lava flowing underground.
No, if I concentrated a little more, it was possible to manipulate some of the flow.
It was not yet possible to change the large flow of lava.
It was possible to have an impact.
“Hehehe!”
『…There are probably no people who are as good at smiling evilly as you.』
“Yes. “Thank you for the compliment.”
Elric, along with Yongil, has already planted Mana Seeds through his telekinetic powers in various places on the road he passed.
The Mana Seed was a sphere of pure magical energy that could explode at any time if sensed.
What if the mana seeds explode sequentially along the lava field?
Additionally, the dragon manipulates the flow at will.
If only dragon ginseng could strengthen its toxicity…!
‘I could make some really killer fireworks.’
Sean and Tasha have already followed his signal and are far away from the mountain range.
The fireworks will be very spectacular.
And he will continue to push away everything that stands in his way.
It seems that many of the Lion Gong family’s forces were brought here, so it could be a fatal blow.
In other words, killing two birds with one stone.
Mephisto shook his head as he looked at Elric, who was smiling heartily.
『No matter how you look at it, it’s clear that the throne belongs to this guy.』
* * *
I think all preparations have been completed.
Elric activated the Seal of Youth to start a full-fledged fireworks display.
A hazy green energy covered the entire body, maximizing the effect of magic regeneration.
As soon as he did that, Elric injected that power into Yongil.
A process to maximize the power of the soon-to-be-exploded mana seed.
At that moment, I felt a large amount of mana leaving my body.
I felt slightly dizzy, but it wasn’t a big problem.
and.
Kiyuyu!
Elric and Yongil’s eyes met.
Yongil’s amused thoughts were conveyed to the fullest.
The eyes were also very sparkling.
Like when I entered the Jewel Forest.
『It seems like this guy has gotten used to playing tricks. Ah… I never thought I, the Great Demon King, would worry about the future of the dragon species.』
Elric lightly snapped his fingers, leaving Mephisto’s worries behind.
At that moment, Yongil exploded the telekinetic power that formed the mana seed.
Pong.
Popopopong.
A very faint sound, like a soap bubble bursting.
Even though the sound came from underground, it was so quiet that you couldn’t even hear it unless you had sensitive senses.
But the result was not like that.
Kukukuku –
The earthquake has begun.
The knights and swordsmen of Sajagongga had not yet noticed this situation.
“hmm?”
“Why are you doing that?”
“Didn’t you hear something? It felt like an air bubble had burst…”
“What are you talking about? Do you have auditory hallucinations? Stay focused. You never know when Elric Mervinger will come here. Even the General Staff has been completely destroyed.”
“…Okay. “Be careful.”
The Huk volcanic area itself is prone to frequent aftershocks due to the activity of various volcanoes, so it was thought to be one of them.
But that complacency sealed their fate.
Soon the stimulated lava began to wriggle upward. A huge
earthquake
shook the mountainside so much that it was difficult to maintain balance.
“Uh huh?”
“what…!”
“I didn’t hear any warnings that the volcano would erupt!”
“Ley tracer! “Hurry and call the magician!”
People who can read the movement of the ground were urgently called.
Kwakwakwakwa!
It was immediately after red-hot lava began to erupt from the already cracked ground.
As sulfur gas was released, a huge hot wind also blew.
It was then that the dragon came forward.
High above.
The guy let out a long roar into the air with his bright red eyes. It
was
a cute sound, like a lion cub crying, but it was enough to stimulate the lava flow.
Coo coo coo coo!
Thanks to this, active volcanoes began to tremble as if they were about to explode at any moment.
The same goes for dormant volcanoes.
Stimulated by a strong force, I woke up from a long sleep and felt like stretching.
Elric smiled in satisfaction when he saw the atmosphere as if the end had come at once.
Then he stretched his arms out in front and shouted.
“Good job, our dragon! “Fire a powerful shout towards the front lines once more!”
Kiyuuuuu-!
The dragon, thanks to Elric’s support, laughed as if it was going to die of fun and cried again.
There was a strong tremor and a large amount of lava flowed.
Kwaaaa!!
Kwagwa kwaaang!!
As if he were the commander of a mountain range. At Elric’s gesture, a couple of volcanoes roared and spewed lava into the sky.
“Ha ha ha ha ha! Explode and explode!”
Kiyu kiyuuu!
Elric and dragon shouting excitedly.
Several more volcanoes erupted, turning the sky black with ash.
Kiyu Kiyuyu!
Yongsam desperately pulled Elric’s sleeve, asking for him to join in as well.
The look in his eyes that makes him want to hang out with other brothers.
When Elric gave his consent, he also participated in the chorus with his brothers.
As the toxicity became thicker, the lava became even more sticky and the gas covering the sky turned black.
『…the end.』
Mephisto held his back, speechless.
What is the biggest sin you have committed in your life, or rather in your life as a devil?
Didn’t he release some of his power to Elric a little while ago…
Quaaaaaang!
Unlike the happy-looking Elrics and baby dragons.
Below, something red and black was creating a whole hellhole.
* * * From
the Kugung
crater, lava as high as a person was constantly gushing out with low vibrations.
Just looking at it is so vital that it gives you a chill in the stomach.
Even black smoke continued to pour out, creating a gloomy atmosphere.
“….”
However, the golden lion kept moving without any heed of the precarious environment.
“Master, please go a little more slowly. “If you go that fast, it will be difficult for us to give you directions!”
Auditor Zeo shouted as he hurriedly chased after the golden lion.
After Bant of the Hook family was killed by the Nameless, he became a new auditor, and after Bahamut’s death, he was effectively the Golden Lion’s right-hand man.
However, it was not at all easy to obey the golden lion.
This was because it was not easy to follow him as he sometimes walked casually even on lava.
Both he and his guides have a level of skill that can be considered unrivaled wherever they go.
But in the face of such enormous power of nature, we are just ordinary people.
What if the floor suddenly collapses and you are swallowed by lava?
I didn’t really want to imagine it.
So I somehow asked him to come with me.
The golden lion was moving forward without even looking back.
“Huh huh huh! Is this this place?”
Then, suddenly, the golden lion’s steps suddenly stopped.
A hidden passage located on the crater wall.
It was a place that was originally hidden by magic, but was lifted by the Lion House and the Inspection Bureau a long time ago.
“Is this… the Mervinger family tomb…? her!”
Zeo, who had no special expectations due to being located in such a crater, let out an exclamation the moment he took his first steps into the passage.
The same goes for other noble knights.
It was a familiar sight to the guides, but they couldn’t stop admiring it every time.
The passage leading down was decorated with all kinds of jewels, like an ordinary royal tomb, and sparkled so brightly that it was dazzling every time you walked through it.
The murals painted underneath contained various myths that tried to tell how brave the owner of this tomb was.
The tomb room was revealed only after going through several rooms and stairs.
“…!”
“…!”
“…!”
It went beyond the level of admiration and brought shock to the viewer.
Gorgeous interior walls and a huge amount of grave goods.
It had a splendid appearance, as if the owner of this tomb was about to walk out from inside at any moment.
“I can’t believe that so many items from the mythical era that were only told in words were discovered…”
“This is a surprising discovery even in academia.”
“The books contained here all seem to be ancient magic that has been put into practice.”
“I can also see materials related to magical engineering.”
What is even more surprising is that there is a difference not only in quantity but also in quality.
It was a passage that showed what a splendid life the owner of this tomb, ‘Yeoreum’, lived.
With a face full of greed, Zeo picked up a jewel hanging on the wall and looked around.
“hmm?”
Then, a golden lion standing still caught my eye.
The golden lion was standing in front of the sarcophagus that was carefully placed inside the tomb.
Above it.
There was a huge painting that appeared to be a portrait of ‘Summer’.
“….”
The face in the portrait was definitely a beautiful face.
Because he had distinct features and an appearance as beautiful as a tomb.
However, the golden lion did not seem to be captivated by such beauty.
The emotion revealed at first glance was clearly…
‘Longing?’
It’s like seeing a long-lost lover or family member.
Since this was the first time the golden lion showed itself like that, Zeo couldn’t help but be quite surprised.
‘Is there some connection between the lord and Mervinger…?’
In fact, such words were secretly circulated among the Eight Lions.
How many people would not find it strange that the Golden Lion always seemed to pay attention to Mervinger’s movements, even though he seemed not to care at all?
Golden hair and green eyes. Even if you search the world, how many people would you find with such unique external characteristics?
Nevertheless, the golden lion had that appearance.
Because of his stronger characteristics as a master of swordsmanship, doubts have been buried so far.
But seeing it like that again here naturally raises questions.
At that time, the golden lion took a step back and shook his head vigorously, as if to shake off his thoughts.
Then I asked the guide next to me.
He was a magician assigned by the Inspection Bureau.
“When is the summer arrangement scheduled to be held?”
Arrangement was the reason why the Lion House and the Inspection Bureau desperately tried to stop Elric.
The magic books here have almost been analyzed, but without the most important arrangement, the vast knowledge is nothing but dregs.
Therefore, their intention was to intercept Elric before he could obtain the arrangement.
“The interpretation of the magic in the tomb chamber is almost complete. Just try running it. Please wait a moment.”
“hmm.”
The Golden Lion crossed his arms and muttered, tapping his arms with his fingers.
He looks impatient unlike usual.
The wizard was puzzled by his appearance like that, but was convinced when he remembered Shiro, who had recently died.
The feelings of a parent who lost a child must be so painful that it cannot be expressed in words.
On the other hand, they think that the golden lion, which seemed like a monster, is also a human being.
Wooooow!
Finally, the tomb’s magic circles began to activate.
The beam of light coming from there gathered exactly on top of the sarcophagus and soon created a huge black hole.
The darkness is so thick that it feels like you’ll fall into the abyss even if you just look at it.
Soon, a vast landscape unfolded beyond the black hole, with dragons of enormous size filling the sky in a circle.
In the center, a woman with a face like a portrait was seen standing tall on the ground.
Then the woman seemed to sense something and turned her head this way.
A slightly stiff face.
“…Mirka Mervinger.”
The golden lion slowly walked towards him, muttering an unknown name.
The woman, who guessed it was summer, looked at him and asked in an unexpected tone.
『I was wondering what kind of arrogant bastard was disturbing my eternal sleep. Could it be you, Reinhardt?』
“…!”
“…!”
The eyes of everyone around her grew wide as she spoke.
According to known facts so far, Summer is a person from approximately 1,000 years ago.
It was ridiculous that she knew the name of the Golden Lion.
“It’s you, Mirka, after all.”
The golden lion’s green eyes sank deeply.
Wizard who swallowed talent
