Chapter 86 – 25. The Forgotten Great War of the Pantheon (3)
Lillia shouted in a puzzled voice.
“Snow Wyverns come back to life? It can’t be. It was written in the old book that even the credentials of the treasure chest would summon a guardian golem near the altar…”
However, the monster that appeared in front of me was definitely a wyvern. He resembled a dragon, but much smaller and lacking forelimbs.
“But it doesn’t look like a normal monster. Even the snow storm I just summoned… It’s because I can feel the chills like demon power beyond the ordinary chills. That translucent figure that is not real is also unusual.”
“Yulian-sama is right. It feels more like a monster than a monster. It also took the form of a spiritual body… Then, the residual thoughts of the space behind it must have been revived by dwelling in the heart of the Wyvern!”
There was no time to relax. The revived Snow Wyvern quickly swung its wings.
“Avoid!”
Dozens of ice spears pierced where we were standing. The two easily dodged, but the cold debuff created by the Snow Wyvern continued.
Even the breath they exhaled froze. A colder cold than the frigidity of Essenmund slammed into the underground cavity.
‘I thought I got used to the cold in Marquis Baekryeong. It’s kind of like a freezer.’
I felt that my body, which had been trained through continuous training, hardened quickly. Lillia hurriedly uttered her divine spell.
“Holy Flame!”
The light green divine power caught fire as it was. Then, the heat emitted by the divine power temporarily pushed away the strong cold air around them.
The overwhelming divine power of a prospective saint. But soon, Lilia’s expression showed a tired look.
“Snow Wyverns are spiritual creatures that go beyond monsters from the beginning. In addition, the aura of the cold became too strong because I became a demonic beast, even a spiritual body. In order for the two of them to avoid frostbite, they have no choice but to continue lighting the fire with a large amount of holy power. However, I can’t cancel the binding spell like this if I don’t want to be consumed by demon power and illusion…”
In other words, Lillia’s divine power was about to reach its limit. Her expression became serious.
So did I. Holy Flame’s help. Then, he melted his hardened body with the mana he drew from his body. Even so, the debuff caused by the cold was still there, and there was no feeling in the hand holding the imperial sword.
For a moment, I thought about using Rosario and the small amount of Jedin’s power in my body, but I held back. Jedin’s power must be saved for later raids on the nest.
I decided to move once.
“Don’t worry! I will deal with the wyverns!”
“It’s dangerous! It’s different from the welcome I cut down a while ago. It’s a more embodied spiritual body than that, so it’s much more powerful. Also, spiritual beasts don’t respond well to swordsmen’s physical attacks. Somehow, with my divine power…”
But Lillia seemed to have a hard time maintaining her current order. The coldness created by the Snow Wyvern was so strong.
“Fine! It’s worth trying. I will deal with the wyvern before Lillia’s divine power is exhausted!”
“But…”
Lillia seemed very nervous. But somehow it never occurred to me that the Snow Wyvern was such a difficult foe.
I said quietly.
“Anyway, that guy died once. He is not a physical body, but a spirit body, so he will not be as strong as before he died. I’ll be back soon.”
Just before the battle. Reinhardt’s blood always made him more proud than fearful. It’s even more fun when there’s an enemy in front of you that looks interesting. I wanted to properly stick with the Snow Wyvern.
And if you stay close to Lilia like this. Because no one can attack him.
Also, even though my blood was boiling, my mind was clear from this damn cold. I calmly summoned the spirit.
“Salamander.”
Salamander, a low-level fire spirit. The warmth barely melted the frozen hands. The feeling of the sword hilt in both hands became the same as usual.
I just ran out of the seat. Then the Snow Wyvern reacted immediately and threw an ice spear at me.
Papa papa pat-
I dodged it by moving my feet quickly. Ice spears mercilessly pierced every spot I avoided.
I hurriedly moved around the outskirts of the underground cavity to catch his attention as much as possible.
Kyaaaaagh!-
When I was not easily defeated, the Snow Wyvern screamed. And as the enraged fellow opened his mouth, an intense blue light focused there.
“Careful! It’s breath!”
Even though it is a monster, like a sub-ryong resembling a dragon, he blew his breath. The momentum and speed were completely different from the Ice Spear from earlier.
An extreme cold breath that freezes even the surrounding air.
Its breath struck me with fierce momentum that I could not escape even after watching it cast.
***
“Yulian-sama!!”
Cha Cha Cha Window-
Just like that, the sound of ice shattering filled the underground cavity. A breath that flew with such force that it seemed to vaporize me.
But I was fine. Instead of dodging, he blocked the breath directly. A huge wall of ice was built in front of my body.
“I am fine. Don’t worry!”
Wyvern is a sub-dragon, but his intelligence is a bird’s head. The guy mercilessly scattered his cold and blizzard as he felt like.
Although it was very cold. Because of that, he was creating a battlefield that was advantageous to me.
‘I made an ice wall out of snow.’
An ice wall as thick as the iron gate of an underground bunker. The barrier made with alchemy blocked the Wyvern’s breath.
The snow accumulated around him was quickly transformed with water and wind mana. Conversion of at most two properties.
And through the quests I’ve completed, the reward mana was close to 400MP. It was not difficult alchemy.
Kyaaaaa
Seeing me as normal, the Snow Wyvern screamed in anger. And soared higher in the underground cavity. He looked down at the two of them with intense blue eyes.
“If you fly that high, sword strikes can’t reach you!”
“Fine! Lillia-sama, please use stronger binding spells!”
And at the same time as my words, Lillia’s binding spell became stronger. At the same time that each other opened their hearts more, the warmth of the Holy Flame was transmitted even from a distance.
At the same time, the blizzard in the underground cavity grew stronger. The wrath of the Snow Wyvern continued. Of course, his anger helped me even more.
There were lumps of alchemy materials everywhere.
‘And if he won’t come down, I can go up.’
Alchemy was used once again with overflowing mana. This is an underground joint. So it was much easier to make a path through alchemy than on the normal ground.
The massive ice road filled the underground cavity like a spider’s web. I rode the icy road and quickly ran up to him.
‘I don’t like it when a lizard or something looks down on me.’
And the end of the ice road made higher than the height the wyvern flew up to. He jumped from there and swung his sword.
5 meals of 1 lion heart sword.
The slash, imbued with the power of mana, slashed the guy’s long neck in one fell swoop. Wyvern was so surprised by me that I had come up to that point, so he couldn’t even see my swordsmanship to the end.
Ahhh-
Along with the final words, the blue light flickered violently and the Snow Wyvern’s spiritual body disappeared. At the same time, the blizzard and chill in the underground cavity disappeared. Killed the guy.
‘It’s more boring than I thought.’
Because of the fierce snowstorm and the nature of flying monsters, access was very difficult. But when I was so close, he couldn’t do anything.
I hurriedly came down to the ground before the ice road completely collapsed. Lilia cried.
“Yulian! Are you okay!!”
“As you can see, I am fine.”
Lilia hugged me tightly. The feeling of being warmed by the still remaining Holy Flame was warm.
And I can feel Lilia’s benevolent big breasts without fail. As expected, its soft bulkiness was incomparable to anything else.
Lillia, who had calmed down a little, stroked her hair as if I was very proud of her.
“The Snow Wyvern from earlier was a spirit body! But how with a sword strike?”
“Due to the influence of the binding spell, some of Lillia’s holy power was embedded in my sword. And…”
Compared to alchemy and spiritism, which depended only on characteristics, it took a long time to practice swordsmanship on their own.
‘Because I practiced the Lion Heart Sword with Yuriel constantly.’
So, he had some time to prove his faith in Roia, the god of battle. As a result, I was able to convert some of my original mana into Roia’s divine power.
With the swordsmanship imbued with that divine power, he was able to easily cut through the spiritual body. I briefly explained the fact to Lillia.
“So you were able to decapitate the wyvern in one go! Also be great Still, unlike other illusions, the Snow Wyvern was a monster powerful enough to create breaths and blizzards!”
“It was nothing.”
“Absolutely not! It was like the hero of heroes, Marquis Wilhelm. You even use alchemy on top of that… I can’t believe it!”
Lilia’s praise continued for a while. And now, the two of them have been linked to a binding spell.
I felt the love that Lilia felt for me grow and grow without knowing the end. And while she doesn’t notice her. The door to her feelings that Lilia had with her loosened more.
So I was able to read the unexpected notion contained at the end of that emotion.
‘The Reinhardt family? What do you mean?’
It was definitely my family, Reinhardt, not the imperial family, Asterisk. Lillia was unexpectedly thinking of the margrave family as the imperial family.
Reinhardt is the family Lilia will marry in the future. To think of Reinhardt as the imperial family…
‘Could I be the emperor?’
If that’s true The ambition hidden in the heart of this benevolent princess might be beyond imagination. However, I did not reveal that I had read my heart and shared my body temperature with Lilia.
As their bodies pressed against each other, Lilia wanted more. She sent me a sticky look as if she wanted to kiss me. But I slipped away.
“Lilia. I’ll have to get those things soon.”
Lillia, who came to her senses at my words, finally took all her divine spells.
“Oh. Look at my mind Yes! For Julian-sama, securing the heart of the Snow Wyvern is an urgent priority.”
The two approached the altar where the spirit body of the Snow Wyvern had been summoned.
“If you take this heart as an elixir, Yulian-sama’s clogged mana road will surely be… Wait? The Snow Wyvern’s heart is strange!”
However, the condition of the heart was not serious. It was as Lillia said. The heart of a wyvern that remains in the form of palm-sized ice crystals after the spiritual body has disappeared.
Its heart was slowly melting.
***
The sight of it made me dizzy too. It is a precious elixir that is kept in the imperial palace’s treasury. If you miss the chance to take it, your plans for the future are twisted.
“I need to take it right away…”
Lillia stopped my hand from moving.
“No! Julian! The Elixir of Spirits is too dangerous to consume right away without purification! If you take it as it is, your body won’t be able to withstand the evil!”
However, the heart of the Snow Wyvern is already melting. If you take that and go outside, and wait patiently for the purification process. It has already become a useless beast, let alone a miracle drug.
I told Lilia with all my heart.
“It is difficult.”
However, it was Lilia who became more serious than me. Lilia looked at my face, then nodded her head as if to harden her heart and moved towards her heart.
“No. Don’t be discouraged. Julian. It’s complicated, but there’s a way. If you use the method written in the secretary of the Medica sect!”
Lilia held the heart in her hand. And without hesitation, she swallowed her ice crystal.
