Episode 126
My gaze was drawn into the dragon called Vardumkus as if fascinated. I couldn’t take my eyes off it.
The dragon writhing like a maggot in a spider’s web was black with an unholy color, and its ribs, which had torn its muscles and protruded from its body, spread out like wings on its back.
It’s dragging its frost-covered internal organs, its eyes glowing with a cursed, disgusting color—
“—Alakish?”
Are my eyes damaged? What on earth did I just say? Shar ‘Kas raised the corner of his mouth.
“Oh yeah. It used to be that kind of name. “I have given your servant a new name that suits him.”
Kasena, who was panting while pressing her left breast with her right hand, began to tremble.
“No, no… … .”
As if unable to accept this cruel reality, Kasena looked back at me, shaking her head.
“That thing, that thing, there’s no way it’s Alakish. yes? Is that right, Lane?”
When I looked into Kassena’s purple eyes, which were looking at me earnestly, as if asking for consent, I felt sick to my stomach.
“Ha, hahaha, hahahaha… … .」
Casena’s… … It was the sound of laughter that mercilessly trampled on the impossible wish. A laugh so evil that it makes your eardrums bleed.
“You lowly hybrids have made no progress in fourteen hundred years. That can’t be my friend, that can’t be my father… … “It’s like crying while denying reality.”
“shut up… … .”
“hmm? Are you angry now? Why? “The relationship lasted less than half a year.”
“Shut up, shut up, shut up——!”
“It is your petty habit of not being able to face reality and denying it.”
Kasena, whose face was distorted in anger, let out an evil scream and frantically drew a line in the air.
Like a conductor leading an orchestra, whenever light was created at his fingertips, magical energy resonated, creating miraculous power.
Again and again and again… … The fireballs flew in, spewing out sharp white smoke, burning Shar’Kas’s arms and turning his legs into charcoal.
It is the flame of the dragon words I learned from Alakish, the sad ending of a fleeting relationship that was forged for a long and short time in this cold empire.
But it was no use.
There was no use.
The burnt limbs always sprouted anew from the countless webs of the abyss. The same was true for the unique wide dark blue paint.
Shar’kas, who was just walking forward as if it was not worth blocking or avoiding, tilted his head and shook his head as the attack subsided.
“Is this the end?”
Was it a feeling of helplessness or despair?
The hand that was drawing runes in the air trembled, and tears flowed from Kasena’s eyes as she collapsed helplessly and immediately froze.
Thinking back to all the moments I spent with Alakish… … The warmth of the day I held them under my wings on a cold night, the kind voice of the day I taught them idioms, and even the smile of the day I smiled shyly and said I wanted to cook a delicious meal for my daughter.
“It’s a mystery, how that annoying woman’s bloodline could be so insignificant.”
As Shar’kath stretched out his hand, the disgusting primal spiders, Brook’kudum, rushed behind him, shaking the surface.
“Prisvia, please take the others and evacuate to the wall as per the contract.”
“Hehe, what about you?”
“You have to make that time.”
Reign passed by, lightly placing his hand on the crying Kasena’s shoulder. Her face was strangely expressionless.
“Miss, this may be your last lesson, so I’ll teach you the most important thing.”
A blue mineral liquid glowed softly from the five glass bottles hanging on my belt.
It was a magic potion that I received from Kiran Wolf Vlado.
As soon as Fifi opened the cork with his beak, he poured the half-frozen, thinly icy liquid into his mouth.
“Lesson three, a wizard never gets caught up in emotions in battle.”
As the thick liquid dissolved into my body, I felt a pain as if a cold needle was piercing my esophagus.
Forcefully refills the consumed magic power. He forcibly generates impossible magical power and begins to pulsate the jugyeol with force.
As the series of processes were taking place, Lane had already taken off the glove on his left hand and had removed the bandage.
“Constructing imagery.”
Like paint spreading on a blank page, the boy’s image begins to be painted over the world.
Five circles spread out across the ground. Yu (流) in the north, Liang (量) in the east, Se (世) in the south, Jon (尊) in the west, and Gyeong (警) in the central circle.
The rune engraved in the center of the circle emits light, and at the same time, countless mathematical equations are written around it, creating a geometric pattern.
“Sejon Yuryang: Sir.”
The one who showed the most surprising reaction to the power that controls the world, ignoring even the providence of the world, was Shar’kas.
‘This power is definitely Karenden’s… … ?’
Before I could form that thought, a light so intense that it burned my retinas poured out. The Brookkudums running at the front burst into flames with a fierce flash of light.
“Rune modification. “Ryun(綸), San(散).”
Image barrier: The circle of flow scattered light, and the fire that poured down from the sky was released into countless strands of flame, which then dispersed into mountains.
The strands of flame burned so fiercely that they wrapped around the legs of the Brookkudums that followed like a rope.
In the tempest of flames so intense that their faces burned, old things struggled painfully.
“Ryun, Ryun, mountain, mountain.”
“Pifi, I’m fine, so stay with Kassena. And help Barlzen.”
Fifi nuzzled her beak lovingly against Raine’s cheek, then spread her wings and flew back.
“Captain, that is… … .”
Everyone was surprised by the feast of mighty power, but it was Prisbia’s subordinates who were experienced as adventurers who were even more shocked.
“Hehe, that kid, are you saying that wasn’t a fluke?”
A mental barrier… … I don’t know much about magic, but I know well what level it takes to be able to use it.
It’s not as bad as I thought.
Was Alakish’s decision to entrust the dragon’s egg to such a brat not only for personal reasons, but also for abilities?
‘Rain, are you planning to stop all of that by yourself?’
Varlzen’s fists trembled as he looked at the old things being engulfed in the flames sent out by Shar’kas.

“I’ll continue the admiration later, but for now, let’s move to a vantage point, hmm.”
Kassena, who was kneeling down and staring blankly at Lane’s back, blinked when Prisvia’s subordinate carried her on her shoulder.
“Now, wait… … “Where are you going?”
“Because it’s a distraction. So, you have to get out of the way.”
“Get out of the way… … I will fight with Rain too! “Get down, get down!”
Then, Prisvia stopped for a moment as if she was really dumbfounded, and then smiled coldly.
“Fighting, hmm, what and how are you going to fight? A little boy who can’t do anything but cry. With dreams and hopes? Hehehe, there are no miracles like that on this floor.”
“But still, if you leave me alone… … !”
“Right now, instead of helping you, you are just a lump of burden that needs to be helped. “If you stay here, you will soon become a dead person or be scattered in blood stains.”
Again, a pillar of fire erupted from behind and a fierce hot wind swirled, causing Kassena’s fur cloak to flutter violently.
“But not that guy.”
“… … ?”
“With that kind of skill, wouldn’t there be something to believe in? “Well, let’s go back to the base and warm ourselves by the fire.”
Prisvia suddenly turned around and grabbed the head of the dead man who had rushed at her at that moment.
At that moment, a fierce stream of steam came out from the device hanging on the wrist, and an iron stake was extruded, crushing the head into countless pieces.
So next, and next… … .
The fighting style of deftly trampling even an ancient object and finishing it off by driving a wedge into its head was truly a master’s art itself.
“and… … .”
Cassena was impressed by his fighting skills, but bit his lip in helplessness.
I, I… … .
The next moment, Kasena roughly escaped from the adventurer’s shoulder and simultaneously threw a fireball, burning the dead who was approaching behind Prisvia.
“Light the fire? “There’s fire here!”
Prisvia smiled sinisterly at that bold appearance.
“Hehehe, if you die like this, will that black sheep become mine forever? “It wouldn’t be a bad idea to just let him die here.”
Meanwhile, Lane, who was urgently trying to catch his breath, felt a tingling, needle-like pain.
Are you running out of magical power already? … He took a second glass bottle from his belt and uncorked it.
As a reaction to the act of artificially pouring fuel and forcibly activating it, a tearing pain arose in the main joint and the backboard became wet with cold sweat.
‘Protect, protect.’
We should have fought like this back then. With Alakish… … .
With that thought in mind, I urgently crossed my hands, and the bodies of the old spiders that had sprinted a short distance away were engulfed in flames, emitting the delicious smell of burning flesh.
As the air rippled with the heat of the explosion, I swallowed hard and drank the third potion. Now there are seven potions left… … .
“I see, I vaguely understand it now.”
Suddenly, Shar’kath’s voice was heard next to me, accompanied by pain that felt as if I had been hit directly in the brain.
“The reason why Her Majesty looked for you as soon as she woke up, and the reason Karenden saved you with what little strength she had left.”
Shar’kas put his hand on the flame, spreading deflagration and burning Brookkudum, with an expression of interest.
The flame immediately engulfed the small hand as well, but as if mocking it, a spider web came out from the cut surface and was elaborately woven to form a new hand.
Perhaps it was the leisure characteristic of the old rulers, but the fear deeply imprinted in the genes of the ruled made the hairs on their entire bodies stand on end.
“It looks quite similar to Karenden.”
“… … ?”
“I know when I look into your eyes. He pretends to be quite calm, but his personality is consumed by passion, and the way he uses his power is… … “Is this something like Karenden’s alter ego?”
The image of Karenden, who was building similar strength by putting both hands together at this very distance and this distance 1,400 years ago, was superimposed on the boy’s face.
“You are a being who should not exist in this era, a being who violates the law of cause and effect.”
If so, rule it out right here and now. Shar’kas lifted his chin backwards.
“You take care of the rest of the hybrids. Don’t touch Emmit’s veins. There is something to be read from the soul’s memory.”
I watched with bated breath as Alakish leaped high, carving wrinkles in the ground with his large body.
‘Cobwebs stuck to my ribs… … Are you making it act as wings?’
I knew he couldn’t fly, but he definitely had the equivalent leaping ability. I had no choice but to watch as Alakish blocked the group’s escape route.
No, it would be more correct to say that we cannot afford to stop it.
At the same time that Alakish leapt, Shar’kas started walking straight towards me, flapping his sleeves.
“Let’s test where and to what extent.”
