Chapter 256 – 72. Temple of Unir (2)
The Elder stretched out his hand towards me.
“Uh… How could His Majesty…!! Like this… To be alive… Fortunate… Fortunate…”
The Elder called me with his choked voice. I approached her Seeing her up close, she was even more surprised.
“No… You’re not His Majesty… You’re not His Majesty Lucifer, so how can you look alike… And you have the energy of a dragon… No way?”
“That’s right. I am Your Majesty’s son. This is Julian.”
“His Majesty… He… He left behind an heir… Truly… Unir’s blessing…”
Lucifer didn’t make another successor other than me. That’s why it would be known to the demons that the generation of the previous demon king was cut off.
“You were so beautiful… You are the same… Many stories… I want to talk a lot, but I don’t have time left… Anymore.”
“Elder!”
Tricia shouted, but the Elder raised her hand to stop it.
“The reason why his successor is a dragon… There must be Yunir’s arrangements there… To me… Would you like to come to me?”
I nodded. She covered my face with both hands.
“As long as the intruders have taken the branch of the World Tree from me… They will find the grave of the 10,000-year-old dragon… And the divine power of Unir that I possess will know the location of the branch… Instinctively. … That power to you…”
In an instant, her divine power flowed from her. It was the divine power of Unir, so it was a special magic. A location naturally popped into my mind.
“Still… The ancient dragon graveyard is near the world tree, so they probably couldn’t have arrived sooner… The power of the ancient dragon… Fell into their hands… Instead, the legitimate successor of the demon king You must… Keuheuk!!”
Having said that, the elder vomited blood again. She felt her life dying out.
“… But fortunately… Fortunately… Yunir is gone… But her will still remains… You have that will… To prevent… Island… From its destruction. … Ask…”
And the old man finally died. I quietly closed her eyes. Tricia hugged the elder as if screaming.
“Elder… Why… Why…”
Although it was Tricia who had already abandoned the Demon Kingdom and the Priest of Unir. The chief seemed to have a deep connection with Tricia.
And even though the chief is dead.
The magic she left behind, her will, clearly spoke.
‘Mahonin… The Mahonin dwelling in the Sentiac Knights are different from the normal Mahonin.’
Dangerous. It’s like the ominous feeling you get when meeting a high-ranking witchbeast. They are guys with a blind intent to kill.
I put my hand on Tricia’s shoulder. She calmed her down and said.
“Tricia. It’s sad, but you have to listen to the elder. We’ll have to go after them.”
“Yes… Yulian-sama.”
Tricia said in a sad voice, but she got up right away. She collected the elder’s body near the temple and her party moved on.
And Chloe was silent for a while. I heard shocking words from the elder. That I am Lucifer, the son of the cold-blooded demon king.
‘I think he expected my true identity to some extent. Still, I wouldn’t have thought that he was the son of the demon king.’
Not only that, but he must have had an intuition that the upcoming chase would not be normal.
So, I gently pulled up the magic and read the magic of her vulva connected to me. It was possible because the two were already connected through that tattoo.
‘Excitement?’
It was. On the contrary, Chloe seems more excited to learn the shocking secret.
Than the perennial dragon we are aiming for. I could feel the interest and lust for me increased even more.
‘I’m not a normal person after all.’
I told the group
“I will hurry up and chase down the intruders!”
***
The chase continued through the night. It’s been quite some time since the guys who raided the temple left. Fortunately, their movement speed was not fast.
They don’t have a guide that opens the way naturally like Tricia. The party grabbed the tail of the Sentiac Knights.
“No matter how much they are married, they can’t withstand all the demonic energy of the primeval forest. That’s why they broke in with such a small number of people.”
Five people read the traces. It must have been something the nearby spirits had said to Tricia. Chloe said.
“Five elite Centiac Knights. Even if you are married. It won’t be easy to deal with.”
“No. It must be just that fortunate.”
Their invasion was not an all-out war.
No matter how elite priests are away and their power is strong, this is a primeval forest. So it’s not a place where they can move around for a long time.
‘With that small number of people, I’ll take only the remains of the old dragon and escape in a hurry.’
The reason they raided the temple was because they needed a branch of the World Tree to find the old dragon’s grave. I objectively compared my skills to the invaders.
‘The elder’s words. And judging from the speed and traces of the movement, it is undoubtedly more than an Aura Expert. Besides, if you’re married…’
It’s not an easy opponent. A while ago, I showed the same number against Izel Tier. Opponent is five. They are strong men who cannot be compared to the sham High Night of the Imperial Guard.
‘Well, it’s unfortunate that those guys met me as an enemy too.’
But I didn’t feel afraid at all. Acceptance has already been completed.
He didn’t change his appearance because he was in front of Chloe. Because it seems that the amount of aura that can be used with just that tolerance has increased significantly more than before.
‘And if Chloe is a colleague, it’s worth a try.’
Because I know her skills well. And because of her already made vulva, her primeval magic is no problem for her.
But still 5:2. It is certain that they are overwhelmingly outnumbered. If that’s the case, it means that Tricia, brought as a guide, will have to fight alongside her.
However, Tricia’s condition is not so good right now. The Great Temple where she has been for a long time. All the priests there died in a miserable state.
So, although I sense that she is venting intense anger at the Knights of Sentiac. It shouldn’t be.
For a swordsman, anger can sometimes be a driving force that allows him to exert more power than his skills. It could be rather a hindrance to her elemental sage.
‘Because well-trained knights like Sentiac are fighting machines. If someone loses their composure, the party could be in danger.’
So now I need to calm down Tricia. Tricia and her party stopped after that.
“Looks like they are tired too. I think he intends to get some sleep and rest before entering the ancient dragon graveyard. I’m preparing for camping. Then, at this time, the raid…”
“That is not right. Tricia. When their vigilance reached its peak. Rather, if they attack them, it will be after entering the ancient dragon’s graveyard.”
The magic of Unir left behind by the Elder. According to that will, the ancient dragon’s graveyard doesn’t feel like a threatening place to me.
I am also a dragon. So, to the old dragon, I’m a legitimate visitor rather than those intruders.
“Anyway, fighting in the graveyard seems to be more advantageous to me. Because that method will increase the chance of revenge success the most. Let’s take a break for now.”
“I know. Julian-sama…”
Tricia said in a timid voice. But he obediently obeyed my words. The party’s location is a safe distance away from intruders.
So, like the day before, Tricia created a place to tie herself back up a tall tree.
“Then rest here.”
After a simple meal, the three of them went to their respective bedrooms. But after a while There was a knock on my room.
“I… Yulian-nim. This is Tricia. I have something to tell you…”
“Come in.”
***
Tricia didn’t seem to be able to sleep easily.
Her herbs she picked up on her way here. With her herbs, she lightly brewed her tea and shared it with her.
And I like to comfort her. Silently, she listened to what she had to say.
“It feels strange to come back to the primeval forest like this. Because when I left the Demon Kingdom with Cecil, I was determined not to come back.”
Sister Tricia, who was a collateral demon king. And in the serious crisis of the Demon Kingdom, the absence of the Demon King. Cecilia was forced to make a contract with the Devil Grand Duke.
Cecilia, who has just become an adult dragon. And to the point where Cecilia, a reclusive dragon far from Unir’s doctrine, hastily tried to make the contract. Things weren’t very good for her, she says.
‘The damage I had to suffer because of the Witchbeast. Because demons are much bigger than humans.’
100 years ago. The appearance of the Keiatic Gate was the cause of all that.
The power of dragons and elves. And as an excellent blacksmith, the Dwarf’s technical skills were amazing. Again, the problem was the absence of Unir, the god of darkness, the main god of the demons.
The divine power of Jedin and the 6 gods under him. Unlike the humans who borrowed that power to somehow survive from the demons.
The demons, who could only use divine power in the form of a contract with demons, could not properly cope with the demons’ movements.
“That’s why the great war 20 years ago was, so to speak, a last resort. The Witch of the East. And Orhain in the south, even the Sentiac Knights. The demons would have really perished if they stayed in the middle of it.”
And so the great war with humans began.
Even at that inferiority, the demons were able to fight on equal footing with the humans. It was definitely because of the existence of Lucifer, the ruthless demon king.
“He had great power as a demon king. His charisma to lead people was amazing. Because he himself had a great eye for himself. So he made an unconventional personnel decision and set up a proper staff.”
A unique tactic devised by the staff and Lucifer. The fact that the empire burned with that tactic remains in the history books even now.
Through the great war, the demons were guaranteed their right to survive from humans.
“But now that the human threat hasn’t all gone… The Chaotic Gates are starting to reactivate. The past 50 years have been a period of rest for Gate. Do you know Julian-sama too?”
I nodded. 100 years ago, right after the super-large gate was summoned. So when Atlin after the sword was active.
At that time, the power of the Caitic Gate reached its peak, but since 50 years ago, its power has weakened to some extent.
But I knew The hiatus is Guhwangdo. That it was a temporary pause to create the last Keiatic Gate located there.
‘My parents. It’s the Keiatic Gate sealed by Saint Agnes and the demon king Lucifer.’
Although it is known to the world as a gate summoned by the demon king Lucifer. In fact, the whole picture was completely different. Rather, it was because Lucifer saved a human.
However, that seal has now expired.
Fall Nest Attack. If that fails. That the witch beast in that nest would break all the seals.
If so, five chaotic gates are activated. It was the surest death sentence for Esland.
Of course, I don’t know the details of this. The Temple of Unir, where Tricia belonged, seems to have intuited the signs of its destruction.
“If it’s a world that will one day perish… And if you think of your younger brother, who became terminally ill due to the failure of the contract with the Grand Duke. I thought that I should not remain in the Demon Kingdom any longer. Cecil had always longed for human culture. In fact, I did to some extent.”
It seems that the sisters have always been curious about human society.
Rather than quietly waiting for the fall of the demons, no, the fall of the world, they chose to move first.
“But was that choice a mistake? If only I had stayed in the temple. Maybe the elder and the other elves didn’t die so miserably…”
“No. Not really. To be honest, even if you were the only one, I couldn’t stop those demons. And thanks to your decision to leave the Demon Kingdom, did Cecilia survive?”
“… That’s right. Still, the people at the temple are people I’ve been with for a long time… I think I was a little shaken. However, I will not hold on to Yulian-sama’s ankles.”
But, as expected, Tricia’s emotions fluctuated. No matter how cool she is It would be difficult for her to keep her composure when she saw the scene of her gruesome slaughter in her temple.
I held her hand
“There is no need to pretend to be too strong. For those who died briefly. Because I need some time to offer her sorrow.”
My words comforting Tricia brought tears to her eyes. And that moment. Tricia came into my arms.
I patted her on the back of her weeping Tricia to soothe her.
After a while, when she calmed down and their eyes met.
Tricia’s eyes looking at me, not her usual her. She had changed into the eyes of a woman filled with deep passion.
