Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 370

Part 2 Episode 110

Dragon and Demon

But is it because I am still full of fear?

No one came forward.

Although they clearly sympathized with King Yulho’s words, a final psychological barrier was holding them back.

then.

‘We have to destroy it.’

Sean knew it well, having seen it too many times.

It was not just Mervinger of the era in which he lived.

Even the old family he turned his back on.

Colleagues who fought against demons.

Even the people of mountain villages who were abandoned.

The soldiers who stood guard in the broken fortress for three days and nights without rest.

Everything was the same.

“If it doesn’t show up, I’ll pick it myself. “You come forward there.”

Shawn said, pointing at a soldier with the tip of his sword.

“Are you saying that?”

The soldier’s face became contemplative and his pupils shook violently.

Looks very frightened.

This was because he clearly knew what happened to his colleagues in front of him.

“Please save me!”

The soldier trembled and took a step back.

Even if you are weak, can you still be this weak?

It made me wonder if these were really demons.

Shawn snorted and approached him.

“Who said I was going to kill you? It’s sparring. Dalian. And that too for the upcoming battle.”

The words were sparring, but in the soldier’s view, there was no such thing as a one-sided assault.

If you turn your head to the side right now, aren’t there people piled up in the corner who are in dire straits?

Even though the sparring was conducted with a wooden sword, the armor was dented or completely damaged.

Even the armor made of iron was not in good condition, let alone the body.

His face was swollen and there were clear bruises all over his body.

The sight of him mercilessly beating his opponent with a wooden sword, like killing a pig, is still vivid in my mind.

Of course, there were some people among them who did not lose consciousness.

But even they didn’t seem to be in very good shape.

Because he was breathing hard with his eyebrows narrowed.

And more than anything, he didn’t have the confidence to endure even a single union.

It was strange that even after seeing that, my mind immediately changed like the palm of my hand at the sound of King Yulho’s voice.

No, even if that’s not the case, they’re really just trying to agitate them with words, and maybe their purpose is to harass them.

Because they are dragons.

“Hey, you guys on both sides. Catch him. “Unless you want to come out.”

The other two soldiers grabbed the soldier with a frightened expression and pushed him hard towards Sean.

“Let go of me! Hey guys .. hey guys! That guy is a dragon! There’s no way you’ll be so obedient and help us! “Come to your senses!”

Of course, no one heard the screams.

Even though the captured dragons were wandering around, he thought, ‘The Lord of the castle will take care of it.’

In the end, the soldier was so scared that he took a deep breath.

Sean’s face was coming closer every moment.

“….”

Elric continued to watch.

Suddenly he felt a sense of kinship with the soldier.

Seeing him being pushed out by his colleagues.

It’s like one’s own family being abandoned by vassals.

They were clearly people who had been laughing and chatting together not long ago.

‘But as soon as the family’s situation worsened, the vassals very coldly turned their backs on us.’

Is that why?

Elric felt like he could understand what that soldier was feeling.

at the same time. What do you desperately desire right now?

When my thoughts reached that point, I couldn’t stay still.

It was just the right time for Sean to force the sparring to begin.

widely!

Elric flew out the window and fell between Shawn and the soldier.

“Seo Seonglord!”

“The Lord of the Castle has come!”

“I survived!”

While the soldiers were shouting.

“Hold your hands a moment.”

“why? “You said you would leave this to us?”

Shawn stopped swinging his sword and looked at Elric with a sullen expression.

He seemed a little annoyed that the sparring had suddenly stopped.

In the end, you may feel disappointed and feel like you can’t trust yourself.

“Demon King… Please save me.”

The soldier who had been singled out for sparring held Elric’s hand with a trembling hand.

Elric quietly looked at the hand.

‘I wish someone had reached out to me like this soldier.’

The darkest time of my life so far.

When my parents passed away and my family was falling apart day by day.

if.

It’s really one of a kind.

If someone helped you.

‘Would I have been where I am now?’

I didn’t know the answer to that, but one thing was certain.

Although he didn’t show it outwardly, he said that he also waited and hoped for the hand of others more than anyone else.

At the same time, I also had this thought.

‘I guess the original owner of the body felt the same way.’

The conflict between Mervinger and Mervinger.

Maybe in this citadel that actually existed in the past.

Didn’t the demon he possessed also feel the same way?

He wants to resolve the conflict that he has not been able to resolve.

But it wasn’t certain.

I just think like that.

Elric patted the soldier on the shoulder, telling him he could go home.

He bowed his back at a right angle as if he was grateful and quickly ran away.

Elric looked at him and then turned his head back to Shawn.

Sean now had a blatantly annoyed expression on his face.

“Come on? “You know that the soldiers are in bad condition, right?”

“yes. “I know.”

To be honest, this army is no different from a ragtag group.

There are not many proper weapons and their supply is at a miserable level.

It is certain that even if the dragon army does not launch a second offensive like this, it will self-destruct in less than a month.

“okay! “But why are you blocking it?”

“The solution is not to strengthen them and defeat the dragons.”

“what?”

In an instant, Sean’s eyes opened wide.

The same goes for King Yulho.

“I found a real solution.”

Sigh!

A line was drawn around Elric’s mouth.

* * *

King Yulho seemed to be intrigued by Elric’s words and opened his mouth.

“It looks like you found something in the study, right?”

Elric nodded calmly.

It was around that time that Sean’s eyes changed.

Before he knew it, he was listening to Elric’s words.

The soldiers who had been watching the three men until then seemed to think that this was the moment and suddenly disappeared.

Elric’s mouth slowly opened.

“He’s pretending to be Mephisto.”

“what?”

Sean and King Yulho tilted their heads.

I couldn’t understand at all what it meant.

“So, brother, does this mean you’re pretending to be Mephisto?”

“yes.”

Sean and King Yulho looked at each other with expressions of confusion at Elric’s confident tone.

Because no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t understand it.

“I don’t know why they suddenly came to that conclusion when there was no Mephisto.”

“Rather, that was a hint.”

Elric smiled at Sean’s words.

There is no Mephisto here.

To be precise, he did not exist in the current time zone.

The reason Elric thought so was simple.

‘Because there was no trace of him anywhere in the booklet.’

In most of the books in the study, things related to the Great Demon King were often mentioned.

But just one thing.

His true name, Mephisto or ‘Original Sin’, was not even visible.

At first, I thought I simply couldn’t find the content.

No matter how much I thought about it, it was strange.

Mephisto is definitely one of the great demon lords.

Why is it that only his content is left out?

This is where Elric came to a conclusion.

Mephisto has not yet appeared in this world.

‘Then it all makes sense.’

Why is there no content related to that?

In fact, Mephisto had the least records among the Great Demon Lords.

‘This is incomprehensible considering that Mephie has the strongest destructive power among them.’

It is natural for the strong to have a record in history.

Either good or bad.

Because he had extraordinary power, he had no choice but to leave behind various achievements.

However, Mephisto, who is known to be the strongest, has the least records.

‘Wouldn’t this mean that he was the last to appear among the Great Demon Lords?’

Based on what Elric had discovered so far, it was a very possible story.

If this is true, it would explain why his information is not included in the booklet.

And to put it another way, this could be the place where Mephisto was born.

‘Then I understand what Yeoreum said.’

-Try to use this opportunity to properly handle Magi.

At that time, it was accepted as simply increasing the mastery of demonic energy.

It’s a little different now.

Wouldn’t it be better to utilize demonic energy more actively and realize something you don’t know?

‘Of course, this is just a guess.’

Elric concluded that.

I don’t know what will happen though.

First of all, I thought that pretending to be Mephisto might be the key to solving the plan.

Elric came up with his own guess.

“Becoming Mephistopheles…?”

“I make the seal of original sin myself…”

Sean and King Yulho were deep in thought.

In particular, Sean, who had previously engaged in a fierce battle with Mephisto, seemed to be somewhat repulsed but also interested.

“good. “So what can we do to help?”
