Chapter 123 – 123. Chasing the Necromancer (6)
In the huge door that covers the sky, something massive slowly reveals its true identity and crashes toward the floor.
Whoops
Something huge crashed on the buildings in the town and just hit the ground, causing the ground to vibrate with a huge noise and start to create dust winds and gusts around.
Sensing her anomaly, Illyana hurriedly pitched her tent to protect herself and her Eleanor from the blast.
“Keuuugh!”
On the other hand, Liod’s body rushed to slash Renat’s head was pushed away, and even Eun-hyeon was swept away by a gust of wind and had no choice but to escape away from Marius, who was strongly trampling on her.
In the chaotic situation, the magical thread created by Renat’s hand, ‘Magical Steel’, began to entwine around a nearby building, preventing Renat from being caught in a gust of wind and flying into the sky.
At the same time, the magic instructor created with the other hand wrapped around and pulled Marius with only the torso left, and Marius’ torso flew emptyly into Renat’s arms.
“Quaaaaa!”
They had sutured him, but when blood leaked out from his side, which hadn’t healed yet, Lennart clenched his teeth and hugged Marius’ torso.
Soon after, the gust of wind stopped and the dusty wind calmed down before Illyana lifted the curtain and looked up at her head to confirm the identity of something that had crashed over the village. .
“Dragon… ?”
Eleanor, realizing the identity of a creature so gigantic that it could cover an entire village, fell into contemplation.
“That is no ordinary dragon either. That…”
“Old Dragon.”
400 years ago, one of the ‘transcendent species’ that appeared along with demons that suddenly appeared on Earth.
Like the nine-tailed fox, the dragons, which had power equal to that of ‘sinju’ and were revered as supreme beings, were one of the few transcendental beings that could resist demons with pure strength alone.
Among them, among the dragons that have accumulated enormous knowledge and power, the ‘Old Dragon’, which corresponds to the ancient class, has long been extinct.
All the dragons currently existing on the Arcena continent were life forms recreated by the seven goddesses after the world was destroyed, so only young dragons who could not escape Hetzling.
That’s why Eunhyeon couldn’t understand the current situation.
“However… Dead body… ? What is it?”
Parts of the old dragon’s body are rotten here and there, the flesh has been torn off to the extent that the bones inside can be seen, and the wings on both shoulders have numerous holes pierced, making it unable to function properly.
Where the hell did he get the old dragon’s corpse?
“What kind of magic is that…”
“That is her ability. It seems to be a kind of space-shifting magic, and it seems possible to teleport yourself and the people you allow, and conversely, it seems possible to gather demonic beasts in a certain space and summon them whenever you want.”
The ability to suddenly make demons appear in the village was similar to Renat’s ‘summoning’ skill.
“Then, that explains why there was no alchemy workshop or warehouse to store the corpses of demons in the bandits’ hideout, which was a stronghold. Did you store the corpses of the demons in another space, take out some of the corpses of the demons with the human corpses, and combine them right away?”
When Liod, convinced by Eunhyeon’s explanation, murmured, Eleanor blankly looked up at the dragon’s corpse with a spirited gaze.
“What a scam…”
“… Where the hell did you get the old dragon’s corpse?”
In a cold voice, he asked Renat, who was standing close to the old dragon’s corpse, keeping as far away from them as possible.
“Originally, I had no intention of writing it. This was a move I really wanted to keep until the very end… I didn’t expect to get the corpses of the ‘magic instructor’ and the old dragon out of here…”
Contrary to Renat’s slight drool, Marius in his arms was in a state of excitement.
“All of this is his feat! I haven’t recognized you yet! So, I’ll make sure you’re worthy of his favor or not!”
Marius shouting arrogantly in the arms of a woman with both arms and legs cut off and only his torso remaining was a very comical situation, but no one was laughing at him right here.
The eyes of a fanatic spitting in his mouth and spitting were not normal.
Upon seeing the fact that he was none other than the ‘necromancer’ and the corpse of a huge ancient dragon that was crushing the town’s buildings in front of her eyes, Eleanor’s complexion turned pale at the ominous thought that came to her mind.
“Hey… Aren’t necromancers only able to control human souls… ?”
“A normal necromancer is like that. But if it was the crazy bitch in my memory who raised that lunatic fanatic, then that would be a different story.”
“What is that…”
“Leod. How did the rescue of the villagers go?”
She had already checked it through her senses, but she asked again.
“Everyone was evacuated to the outskirts of town. In the building beneath that dragon’s corpse, there are people… I don’t know.”
“Are you okay. No…”
“I, Marius Holton! I will give my soul to reproduce some of his exploits! Accept my trial!”
After those words, the old dragon’s corpse begins to wriggle little by little.
Coo coo coo
“X feet…”
Why is it that my bad hunches are never wrong?
The gigantic body began to tremble little by little, and the eyes of the old dragon began to radiate life.
No, it’s not the right expression to come alive.
When I opened my eyes, I couldn’t see any clear movement of the pupils in the red-colored pupils.
What fills the eyes is dark morale manifested by black magic.
The dragon’s chin, which had been moving with a clatter, slowly lifted toward the sky.
As soon as I opened my jaw wide and confirmed the dark jet-black magic power that began to gather in my mouth, I internally estimated the time it took for the magic power gathered in the old dragon’s mouth to reach its limit.
After completing the calculation, Eun-hyeon exclaimed urgently.
“Illyana!”
“Know!”
Like Eunhyeon, Illyana must have sensed that the magic power gathering in the ancient dragon’s mouth was unusual, so Illyana hit a magic barrier that could cover her in all directions centered on them.
“Princess!”
[Goddess! Protect the lambs watched over by the evil goddess so that no one can hurt them!]
[Vesta’s Blessing]
[Divine Protection, Resist Shield]
Her prayer, which was different from her usual restlessness and urgency, showed how embarrassed she was and how urgent her heart was.
Fortunately for her, the goddess Vesta she serves heard the urgent and earnest prayers of her own followers.
It took 4 seconds to get here.
Right away, Eunhyeon summoned a larger shield than the one she used before in the heart of the Great Labyrinth of Archis, the Palace of Trials.
After directly injecting Belldandy’s divinity into the shield, he threw the shield at Riod.
“Leod!”
“Hmm.”
It took six seconds for Riod, who recognized Eun-hyeon’s intentions without saying anything, to pick up the shield thrown by Eun-hyeon and drive the long stake under the shield deep into the ground to fix the shield.
Immediately, it took 7 seconds to grab Ilana and Eleanor’s arms by one side and forcibly push them into the shield.
“Hyunah! You!”
“Hey, you!”
No matter how gigantic the shield was, it couldn’t have enough capacity to cover four people, so Eunhyeon boldly pushed the two women into the shield.
Ignoring the voices of the two women who were worried, Eunhyeon only cared about strengthening the barrier.
After Illyana, Eunhyun’s second magic barrier was opened, and following that, she took out four types of jewels, released her magic, and scattered them into the air.
[Elysia Gem Amplification]
[April’s Birthstone, Diamond]
[September’s birthstone, Sapphire]
[October’s birthstone, Opal]
[December’s birthstone, turquoise]
Make the shield entrusted to Riod even stronger.
Strengthens Illyana and Eunhyun’s magic barrier.
Eleanor’s hierarchy is raised once again to the higher hierarchy of divine magic,
This place, which stabilized the inside so that no collisions between the barriers would occur, was equipped with high-level defense facilities that could be called a small fortress.
‘Goddess. Can you protect me?’
[Of course.]
‘I’ll only trust the goddess.’
[I will try my best to repay the heart of a child who relies on me.]
As she confidently answered, Belldandi’s warm chest touched Eunhyun’s head.
As I strongly hugged Eunhyun from behind with both arms, an enormous amount of divine power began to wrap around Eunhyun’s body.
“You… I hope that energy… ?”
Only Eleanor, who uses divine power as the only priest who serves God, noticed the existence of divine power that exists as a higher power than divine power and looked at Eun-hyeon with a shocked gaze.
As she put her index finger to her own lips and stared blankly at Eun-hyeon’s expression as she quietly smiled, the 10 seconds that Eun-hyeon predicted had passed.
The corpse of the ancient dragon, which trembled and condensed the magic of death, opened its mouth toward Eun-hyeon’s party, releasing all the magical energy stored in its mouth, and It hit the party’s barrier.
“Nice… Eww! Crazy! Really!”
Illyana’s magic barrier, which was located on the outermost surface, began to crack in an instant as it was hit directly by the dragon’s breath.
Illyana, who was irritated while gnashing her teeth at the tremendous power, smashed her magic into the magic barrier and quickly repaired it. Broke in vain
On the other hand, in the case of the divine magic created by Eleanor, it was rather good.
The breath emitted by the dead dragon is a power created from fraud, the energy of death, and the source of the power called fraud is the black magic called necromancer.
It was in an opposite relationship with divine power, which is the source of divine magic that takes divine power as its source, and was the power of a natural enemy.
But even so, it only lasted longer than Illyana’s magic barrier, and it couldn’t stand the power of Death Breath, and Eleanor’s divine magic barrier also began to crack.
“Not… Okay… !”
I have to pay for something in urgency, but it doesn’t come to mind.
In the end, as Eleanor’s divine magic was also broken, the magic barrier Eunhyeon had installed was also cracking in an instant.
“Hey! If you keep going like this, the barriers you set up… Uh?”
They hurriedly looked back and found Eunhyeon, but Eleanor and Illyana felt strange that Eunhyeon was not visible inside the barrier.
For a moment, did you run away? I thought, but the two women immediately denied that possibility at the same time.
He wanted to immediately prepare for a counterattack, but he knew very well that he was never a man to run away from.
If so, is it a counterattack?
It turns out that Eun-hyeon judged that only the three of Riod, Illyana, and Eleanor could stop this breath without any further help from her.
‘How on earth… ?’
Finally, Eun-hyeon’s magic barrier broke and the dragon’s breath hit the shield that Riod was firmly fixing.
“Keuuugh!”
“Hold on!”
He bit his teeth hard, applied strength to both his arms as well as his legs, held on to the shield and resisted the breath, but despite the fact that the breath had greatly diminished in power as it broke the three barriers, he ruthlessly pushed Riod’s shield away.
Even Iliana and Eleanor, who had weak bodies, supported their shields to add strength, but it was not enough to resist the breath.
“Why… How… Uh?!”
While her mind was turning blank in a hopeless situation, Eleanor made a surprised expression at the divine power she felt from her huge shield surrounding her.
As Eleanor touched her shield to support her shield, naturally, the divine power within her shield began to respond to Eleanor.
In a situation where it was more urgent to put into action than to think about her worries, Eleanor’s judgment was quick.
[You are a goddess!]
Based on her divine power inherent in her shield, Eleanor prayed her prayers once again, and at the same time, white light began to emanate from Riod’s shield, which she was tenaciously holding on to.
[Vesta’s Blessing]
[Holy Sanctuary]
The high-quality divine power contained in the shield by converting Belldandi’s divine power strengthens her shield by emitting white light as if a firecracker explodes through Eleanor’s prayer.
Just like the name of the blessing, as if it had been designated as sacred protection, Riod’s stance and shield began to find a sense of stability.
“This…”
The one who felt the most surprising emotion was Riod, who was holding out while defending the breath directly.
The holy energy emanating from the shield countered the breath, purifying the morale and reducing its power.
Finally, when the breath, which had gradually lost power, was completely annihilated by the holy energy emanating from the shield, the three of them stepped out of the shield’s defensive range to examine the situation.
“I stopped this… ?”
Although Marius named it ‘trial’, in fact, Renat was confident of victory until just now.
However, when I used the breath, I checked the old dragon, which was slowly losing power, distorted his face, and realized that the situation was going wrong.
“Now that it’s like this, run away now…”
“No.”
The chilly voice of Eun-hyun, with thick flesh that chilled the whole body, came right from behind.
Hearing his voice, Renat was crushed by Eun-hyeon’s murderous body and hardened his body as if he were a stone.
“Don’t worry this time. I don’t even need any information.”
[Siete Swordsmanship]
[Baek Gwang Il Island]
A single pure white line cut through Renat’s neck.
