Chapter 79 – Destruction, Coming (9)

As I grabbed the sword with the red blade, a small wind rose. The wind that lightly swept away the matted hair and stained clothes immediately became a gust of wind.
I surrendered myself to the steps that moved on their own. Liv’s voice quickly faded away, and we passed the soldiers with their fighting spirit burning and reached the wilderness where a meteor shower was pouring down.

Kwaang——!

He swung his sword at the meteorite that fell on his head and briefly removed the curtain. There were too many things beyond that to kill.
The white-haired wizard made eye contact with me and shouted! I hiccuped. Eyes poured in from all directions, regardless of enemy or enemy.
Noise, binge drinking, heat, madness. The air on the battlefield was always bitter.

However, as long as I was holding the sword, a peace deeper than the bottom of the deep sea filled my inner self.
Half my life melted into this place, I grabbed the leather handle as if it would break, and aimed accurately at the target in front of him.

Carvius of Destruction. The only dragon who survived the empire’s hunt and joined the Demon King’s side was looking at me.

Quagwagwagwang——!

A great storm rose from the sword. The demons that were unable to rush and hesitated were swept away by Ususu.
Did you say cutting sword Mordred? It’s useful. I muttered softly and waited leisurely. Until he broke through the storm and stepped on the blood-soaked ground.

Then, eventually, black wings appeared that covered the entire sky, clearing away the sand dust in front of my eyes.
A creature of overwhelming size and of a different class.
A feeling of intimidation that takes your breath away just by standing in front of you. I had only just landed on the ground when I heard a scream coming from across the mountain range.
Bright yellow eyes turned downward and the air rang.

[You are foolish, foolish human being. Yes… ]
“Your small steps are nothing more than a useless mortal death that will fly away with a single flap of your wings. Every single one of your lines makes me cringe. There is a magic recording of Terra giggling, but I can’t play it at your funeral. “I feel like I’m going to get up and kick my head in shame.”

[What are you?]
“Don’t you remember me?”

You wouldn’t think that I would be here right now, having been swept down the canal.
But at this point, we had already encountered Carvius.
To be exact, he was defeated. Of the four worst, not a single one ended up settling on the first meeting.

“Warrior.”
[What?]

The lizard-like eyes looking in this direction drew an arc. Carvius’s ridicule was clearly conveyed.

[Then you are foolish. Even after the five of you attacked, you ran away and how dare you stand here alone, blocking my path.]
“I know, me too. “But what can I do? The other kids are busy.”

This was the biggest problem I thought about after entering Baldur’s Nightmare.
Unlike when he defeated Carvius in the past, there is no help from his colleagues at all now.
Bullet’s sword to be at her side, Terra’s magic to support her from behind, and Nova’s spell to energize her.
And most of all——there is no treatment for Eris.

“Are you okay. “I knew it would happen like this from the beginning.”

So I decided to push myself a little harder. Just like before, I had already prepared a way to deal with this guy.

Becoming a warrior is not difficult. It just requires a little determination. The three inherent magic powers allowed in this body. I used one of them.

“Even if I fall down here.”

〈 Goyumado: Dragon Humanization ⌜Dragon Bone⌟〉

“You die to me one more time.”

***

Few people know this now, but dragons were, in essence, creatures that could not be resisted. The reason was because of their racial characteristics.
The dragon spirit, born with the source of magic, changed the world according to ‘will’ rather than calculation. Their language, which can turn mountains and send down lightning with a single word, has been brought into the realm of human thought.
Additionally, the thick scales covering its skin had absolute anti-magic power that made it unaffected by all magic.
From the beginning, there was no way for wizards——humans, to defeat the dragon.

“Nonsense…”

That’s why Lehel was watching the storm, unable to close her wide-open mouth. Because Lewis was literally fighting under optimal conditions to slay the dragon.
Black wings sprouted from its back, and its arms, which were several times larger, were covered in dragon lin. When the huge tail and arm collided, the earth shook from the impact.
After checking her magic engraved on Lewis’ body, she muttered quietly amidst the noise of her noisy battlefield.

“You crazy, Terra. How on earth did you make that…”

Magic with dragon characteristics. The closest example is the scout battalion skirmisher.

“That’s close to soft magic… “You saved the dragon’s body and put it in Louis?”

In reality, Lewis was fighting almost on equal footing with Carvius. The sword he wielded cut through the dragon’s scales without a single hitch, and even split the sky above it.

“Now! Shoot!!”
“Knights, form your ranks!”

Meanwhile, the battlefield where they faced the demons who had penetrated through Lehel’s magic was a state of chaos. Surrounding the area where Lewis and Carvius were fighting, the enemy launched an attack to destroy the canal anyway.

The knights sortied and at the same time, a large-scale magic was poured out to support them. The corpse stood up and a cursed fog spread.

In the midst of confusion, Liv made eye contact with a green-haired girl she had seen before in the crowd.
The acrid smoke and the voice of his father commanding the troops, the entire environment felt a little distant at that moment.

— Don’t get too caught up in fantasy.

Dominic’s last request suddenly rang in my head.

***

The cutting sword pierced the lungs. The only thing that blocks magic is the scales outside the body. When I lightly pulled it out and turned it, a whole piece of flesh came out.
At the same time, intangible blades flew from all directions. Blood spurted from all parts of the body that could not be tolerated, except for the arms, legs, and part of the chest.

The first unique magic sword was for defense and mobility. But even so, it was impossible to completely avoid all the magic cast by the spirit.

Since I had no intention of decapitating this thing without injuring myself, I immediately latched onto it and ripped off its wings. Pap-duk! The large body rolled on the ground with a sound.

[Kaaaaa——!!]

My eardrums and blood vessels burst in an instant due to the loud noise. Magic began pouring from the sky simultaneously.
When I broke my wing bone and fell off, a huge energy of karma was gathering in front of my eyes when I finally raised my head.

“Ha, I’m really going crazy…”

Breath aimed at the canal at the back. If the entire magic circle at the bottom of the river is evaporated along with the water, the magic is canceled.
It was also an attack that wiped out all those remaining in Greenwood Forest.
It was Hublet who blocked this attack when he defeated Carvius, but now it was up to me to do it.

After taking a deep breath, I raised my sword. And at the moment when the pitch-black breath of the dragon poured out, he activated the second unique magic.

〈 Goyumado: White Flower ⌜White Rust⌟〉

Everything that touches the sword turns into nothingness. There is no light, no heat, no sound.
White Knight Wivlett’s unique magic. Even his head, along with his eyes and ears, turned white, putting him in a complete trance.

It’s okay though. Because there is no thought in the sword.

With one kick, a mountain is created on the heel. With one punch, the steel-like scales shatter.
It breaks the fragile wings that are trying to fly, bites them down, grabs the huge horns, and breaks them.

And swing it. Strike a blow. Strike after blow.
I continue to cut, ignoring the crumbling blade and the body that is also breaking apart.

Even if one arm is crushed by the heavy front paws, and even if the skin is burned by the breath that is still left in the mouth, it drags down the mountain-like high mountain right in front of you.

Bang! Quang! Quaaaaang!

I fought to the death, forgetting that the noise around me was gradually quieting down, the cheers coming from afar, and the sun rising before I knew it.

And just as I was about to strike the final blow to his heart.

Pop.

The cutting sword he was holding broke. It was acceptable to endure this much with a simple artifact.

[Word… It doesn’t work either. Why are humans…]

That’s a line I heard once. But unlike back then, it was difficult to end it like this.
No matter how much I scratched it with a dragon of the same strength and hardness, it was impossible to suffocate it.

Holy sword. If only there was a holy sword.

[Like this… You can’t die, you can’t… !]

Karbius took another deep breath, as if he was about to make one last struggle. I felt the concentration of karma again near the heart of the guy who looked like he was going to be caught at any moment.

I had no choice but to turn my head and look at the overflowing canal beyond.
And with the end of magic, the first inherent magic that was always in effect was lifted.

Ttuduk.

I don’t know what broke this time. I don’t even know what was broken. But the final act needed to finish him off was done properly.

〈 Unique Magic: Mind Sword ⌜Mind Sword⌟〉

Phew!

An intangible sword born from the tip of a weakly stretched out finger. As it pierced, this time it penetrated the bone and reached the heart. Then, frequent tremors arose from the fuselage of Carvius, which was struggling beneath me.

This time, I killed the dragon again.

As he took his hand away and staggered away, the crowd around him parted like the Red Sea. A girl with black hair and a familiar silhouette bumped into me in the middle, but she didn’t stop walking.

Plop, plod.

I was heading towards the canal. If you throw yourself there, you will reach the place where your comrades are.
Then, this time we can change the future. That was the only thought.

“Ah…”

My mouth opened and a small sigh naturally escaped.

“Eris…”

At the same time, someone grabbed me violently as I was about to fall into the water.
