Chapter 459 – 131. Spirit of the Frozen Cave (3)
I answered Erti’s words.
“Amplification… It’s a different feeling.”
It wasn’t the first time he had experienced the amplifying effect of cryolite.
But compared to the current effect. The cryolite I knew so far was commonplace.
No, not even that plain cryolite. In Island, it was a precious ore that was offered to the emperor.
It was completely different from Rumi who was standing in front of her right now.
‘A pure cryolite that goes beyond simple ore and even has a will like this… It’s also different.’
Just now.
Mana resonated through Rumi, the spirit of ice crystals and the spirit of snow.
The mana I resonated with was extremely small.
Enough mana to activate only 1st tier magic. However, the reaction could not be called first-tier at all.
‘If it’s a first-tier magic, it’s enough to light a lantern in the air. But…’
Resonance a little while ago. It was as rough as the recoil of a 3rd tier attack magic.
It means that the width of the amplification is too large to simply explain it as amplification.
“Yes. No matter how pure manalight is, this level of amplification is absolutely impossible. So I said that the word amplification is half right and half wrong.”
After Erti said that, he asked me.
“Then, the resonance of mana you felt a moment ago. Can you honestly express the feeling of that resonance through the cryolite?”
“Because it’s an expression, the senses I felt were amplified rather than amplified. Rather, it was more like a runaway.”
Like my words
Resonated with Rumi. To be precise, my mana resonated with this ice crystal.
As if an explosion had occurred, it created huge energy and recoil all at once.
‘The amount of mana injected was very small, so there was no problem controlling it. Still…’
If you activated the 7th tier accelerated mana as usual.
How huge the runaway created by the resonance with that cryolite would be. It was to the point of getting goosebumps for a moment.
“Yes. Even if you are an Aura Master. No, because she has the transcendental power of an Auror Master, Rumi’s power is a double-edged sword.”
Woo woo woo woo woo-
That was the moment.
The center of the glacial cavity.
For a moment, a huge resonant sound came from the place where my grandfather was.
The three of them moved there for a while.
“That look…”
I involuntarily drool.
The huge aura emitted by the outer grandfather was resonating with the ice crystal.
According to Erti, the amplification effect of the ice crystal makes her power run out of control.
But now, the maternal grandfather was in perfect control of the amplified power.
“It’s not like I’ve earned the reputation of being the best in the Empire for nothing. In fact, that Wilhelm had already completed his training here in the Ice Cave when he was young. It would be possible to completely control even the amplified and runaway power like that.”
I was silent.
The power released by the maternal grandparents is the 8th level beyond the 7th level.
It seemed that her maternal grandfather had already made even the power of the half-body grandmaster completely her own.
Seeing that, Reinhardt’s blood in me boiled again.
‘Even if it’s a maternal grandfather. I don’t want to lose.’
Perhaps that will was as strong as anger.
“Hey…”
Rumi, who was standing nearby, was startled.
I calmed down once I saw it.
Erti looked at me and said.
“Like. That’s how you are Reinhardt’s person. Anyway, it’s not like we’re just going to watch Wilhelm’s less human appearance.”
“Then, what with my maternal grandfather…”
“I have already finished talking with Wilhelm. Wilhelm will borrow the power of Ice Crystal and return to his prime body.”
“Heyday? Are you saying you can return to your youth?”
“Yeah. It is possible by using the power of ice crystal copper. No matter how much that Wilhelm was, physically he was already over 60 years old. So, in fact, there is a limit to the full potential he has.”
He hadn’t thought of that at all.
At least a little while ago, the image of him facing the midnight sun with Erti.
He didn’t even think he was an old man at all.
“So if I could temporarily have a young body like you with the power of ice crystal. In theory, you’ll probably be able to use power comparable to that of an Apostle of God. That Wilhelm.”
At that moment Erti looked at me.
“And you are here in Bingjeong-dong. We have to win against Wilhelm. It means you have to transcend him.”
I thought I could understand Erti’s words.
‘The weight of my destiny. For now, it’s the only possibility to walk.’
I wonder if my thoughts were right. Erti nodded his head.
“Yes. Also, that is the only way to bring out the weight of your destiny to the maximum.”
Her explanation continued.
“If you are truly destined to prevent the end of the world. He must have the potential to surpass even the best, Wilhelm. Time for you to prove it yourself.”
In other words, it meant that he had to deal with his maternal grandfather, who was stronger than he is now.
‘It’s my potential…’
And I already knew
The existence that has the potential to transcend human beings in my blood.
Among dragons, they are treated as very special beings. About that dragon.
***
The temporary awakening of the maternal grandfather is all over.
The appearance of the foreign grandfather has changed completely. The face of the maternal grandfather, perhaps a model of a dignified old man, became much younger.
Although not as young as me. It looked like it was in its early 30’s.
‘I saw it in the portrait. My maternal grandfather’s youthful appearance.’
My appearance resembles my father, Lucifer.
Unlike me, my maternal grandfather’s youthful appearance had a thick, manly face. At first glance, I saw the figure of my mother.
However, he is a handsome man with distinct features.
Lion Grand Duke’s blue eyes shone.
“To come back with such a young body. It’s so awkward. Julian.”
I was also awkward with the appearance of my maternal grandfather.
I soon felt pressure rather than awkwardness.
‘Erti was right. If it’s my maternal grandfather now, even Knoia’s Apostle might not be able to stop it.’
It doesn’t use mana, it just stands still.
As a creature, I felt a visceral fear.
But soon, that fear began to turn into a wild sense of triumph.
“It’s a nice look.”
Grandfather grinned. And didn’t you stand face-to-face to say goodbye? I quickly got the point out.
“Julian. Now that my body is so strong, I don’t know if I can’t control my strength.”
“You don’t have to look.”
“Of course I will. Then Yulian, from now on, release all the power you have! There is no need to look for manners just because you are a grandfather. Only when you are determined to kill me will you be able to unleash your full potential!”
At that, I closed my eyes.
As a human body. You can never deal with your grandparents.
So I have to bring out all the potential I have here.
In Essenmund, the demonic dragon could not be recklessly revealed.
Without hesitation, I changed into the 2nd stage of Yonginhwa.
“Is this… The true face of me as a demon? No. I can’t say it’s what I’ve seen. It’s a pity, but if it’s you now, it’s enough even if I don’t use half of my power.”
I was so angry that I bit my lip for a moment. It was not wrong.
‘The 2nd stage of Yonginhwa gives a buff that transcends the human body, but…’
The swordsman who surpassed even the power of the dragon was right in front of his eyes.
And that moment.
Rumi’s voice. No, Rumi’s will flowed into my head.
– If it’s for you, it’s not just the power of this ice crystal. I can also lend my natural power as a spirit.
She didn’t even have time to ponder the meaning of those words.
My body started to resonate.
And the frequency of that fair wave. It was aligned with the tremors of the glacial ice.
‘The power… The demonic energy is boiling up!’
He returned his maternal grandfather to his youthful appearance. The effect of the cryolite has also affected me.
No, it was a little different from that.
Like Rumi said a moment ago.
As if mana hearts were created at the origins of all my bodies. My natural demonic energy was rapidly amplifying.
‘The runaway… Is starting…’
For a moment, my reason as a human being. Just started to break.
– There, there is someone blocking your way.
A voice I had never heard before resonated in my head.
No, it wasn’t the first time. Maybe it was a familiar voice.
Because that voice was the voice of me who turned into a demonic dragon.
– Are you planning to leave the one who draws the sword towards you!
Like a whisper from the devil. Then, with a voice full of anger, the dragon’s will screamed ferociously.
My body was wrapped in a huge light.
Stormy winds swirled with the light. I felt my body grow huge.
And I with two big wings.
It flew up into the air, not on the ground. And yelled
Aaaaa-
“Your current appearance is… Is that your appearance as a Demonic Dragon? Julian!”
I heard the voice of my grandfather.
But now my sanity was breaking.
As a Demon Dragon, I wanted to dominate everything. I didn’t want anyone stronger than me to stand in my way.
Even if that person is my blood relative.
The runaway demonic energy spewed out from between the scales, creating jet-black lightning around my body.
I have horns growing on my head. I concentrated the dominance of the demon to the maximum.
And that magic that was amplified through Rumi’s power. It exploded right at the foreign grandfather.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-
Soon, the demon dragon’s breath covered the entire body of the grandfather.
***
I woke up on the cold floor.
My head felt like it would break.
I am an insomniac. I’ve never really felt a hangover after waking up. Now it was different than usual.
“It hurts terribly…”
In that headache. I barely recalled the memories before I collapsed for the last time.
‘As expected, my maternal grandfather is not a person.’
Rumi’s amplifying power was amazing.
I became a demon dragon by absorbing her power. That demonic nature ran out of control to the point of taking control of reason.
Even now, the sense of the breath that I, who was running out of control, was blowing at me still remained.
‘The potential that the demon dragon has… It exceeded my expectations.’
When the maternal grandfather also saw the breath for the first time, it instantly became a puzzled expression.
Maybe if it weren’t for my maternal grandfather. If the other person was an ordinary Master, he would surely have become an ashes.
– Right. Did Reinhardt’s blood have a synergistic effect on the dragon’s blood?
Like the mother-in-law said.
The Reinhardt family has a very special lineage among humans.
So, of course, it was possible for that special power to work against the dragon’s blood as well.
Just as I, as a human being, have become much stronger because of Dragon Heart.
However, my maternal grandfather completely controlled me from running out of control.
– Although its power is comparable enough to me as a grandmaster. It’s not scary at all if you can’t properly handle that runaway power.
And, after that, the one-sided beating of the maternal grandfather continued.
Now my senses are back. Not only my head, but every part of my body was pain-free.
“No matter how hard you beat your grandson like that…”
In fact, I didn’t mean to say it because I blew my breath first because of the runaway.
Of course, my maternal grandfather told me to do that first.
Anyway, I recovered my body in Siertia, which was lying with me. I looked around for a while.
‘By the way, where is this place? My maternal grandfather…’
If it’s your maternal grandfather, you’ll be safe no matter where you throw it in Island. There was no need to worry.
Erti was quiet. Siertia was absorbed into my body when I turned into a demonic dragon. He must have exhausted all his strength and fell asleep.
‘What. Great. I need time to reconsider my fight with my maternal grandfather anyway.’
Runaway due to cryolite resonance.
I had to be able to control the immense power I was generating.
When I was thinking about the feeling of turning into a demonic dragon again. I felt a presence.
“Who…?”
A young woman with white hair suddenly appeared in front of my eyes. It was Rumi.
And she gently put her index finger on her finger.
‘Yes? What do you mean?’
Her eyes met mine and her cheeks blushed slightly.
Then, I turned my back and started walking into the depths of Bingjeongdong.
I followed her
