Chapter 472 – Gap (4)

The thick scent of blood and swindle can be felt from afar. This goes without saying, but it doesn’t mean you can really smell it.

Because the senses linked to the lord’s castle are only able to alert us to intruders. Perhaps it is to sense magical power and transmit it in the most appropriate way.

Anyway, what is certain is that Ajidahaka and Vlad will arrive here soon.

Since it was not something I could do anything about right away, I immediately contacted Havel. Ajidahaka is here.

“Whoa…”

She exhaled lightly, removing her hand from the unlit crystal orb. Then Tarla, who was next to her, asked with a slightly anxious expression.

“What happened?”

“They said it would come right away. “I already know the coordinates, so just turn off the obstruction magic?”

“Thank god. Although it’s a little annoying, Sir Havel is a strong man on a similar level to his father. “I think we can defeat Ajidahaka this time.”

“Well, talk about that directly with the person involved. “It seems like they had their own circumstances.”

“Let me think about it some more.”

Tarla was looking reluctant, but… Havel still harbors feelings of guilt towards Karla and her father, Theodore.

Maybe she can’t be so mean to Tarla, who may be her future self. Even if she possesses the power of an evil spirit.

… In the process, I hope Tarla’s wounds heal a little, just as Karla did.

I swallowed the last word and concentrated my mind. I have a vague feeling that it is still connected to Gajusil.

The true value of this magic is not simply that you can control the magic within the lord’s castle from one sitting. The principle by which you can do that.

In other words, I can make this entire large castle my territory.

And wizards are beings who become more omnipotent within their own domain. Even though it is difficult for beginner wizards to light fire in the air, it is similar to being able to freely light fire in any part of one’s body.

To me, this entire large castle is like my body, so something like this is possible.

“Ah. Professor Iona? It looks like the enemy will attack soon, so please return. You need to replenish your magic attribute in advance. And the head deacon should evacuate Young Ji-min more quickly. “The teleportation gate will remain open for a while, but we don’t know when it will close once the battle begins.”

Ionah and the head deacon look up at the sky in a daze as a voice rings out in the air.

That thing from a moment ago wasn’t using any special magic. I simply put my voice through mana and let it flow.

Should I say it’s like a real phone that’s ridiculously difficult? Of course, for me now, there is not much difference from just speaking normally.

Unlike Iona, who realized something and looked surprised, the head deacon who didn’t know much about magic nodded her head.

And soon after, Iona arrived, flung open her door and shouted:

“Yandel student, Yandel student! What was that?! How on earth did you… “Huh!”

Iona paused before speaking. Seeing myself surrounded by countless magic circles, I was speechless and speechless, similar to Tarla from a moment ago.

What followed was a little different though.

“No way… “Did you gain enlightenment in that short period of time?!”

“Yes?”

“That’s right! That’s right! Each and every one of the magics worn by student Yandel is greater than any high-level magic? A magic that links and controls such magic… “This clearly touches the realm of great magic!”

“Ah. “This may be magic that falls under the category of great magic, but it is not my magic.”

“… To?”

“I inherited the magic left behind by one of the previous Lindelheit family heads.”

“?”

Iona tilts her head as if she doesn’t really know what she’s talking about. Since I don’t have time, I decided to explain briefly.

This and that, googuri platypus.

“That’s how it happened.”

“Yep. I roughly understood it. “Then shouldn’t we prepare something right now?”

“I’m doing it now.”

Even at the moment of this conversation, all the magical energy drawn from other infrastructure is being pounded into the castle walls. At this rate, we will be able to fight in full condition by the time Ajidahaka arrives.

It took a moment to focus on the faint sign that was getting closer and accelerate the flow of magical power even more.

“Huh?”

Suddenly, the defrauding became strangely severe. No, it’s not just the smell that has gotten stronger. I realized the eerie gaze I felt inside.

“Tsk. “I got caught.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Ajda Haka caught wind of her sneaking around. Everyone is nervous. From now on…”

Huuuuung-

A powerful wave of magical power explodes before you can even finish your words. Everyone looked at the window with their expressions hardened by the unusual aftermath.

A distant sky. The clear, cloudless space was distorted, creating countless cracks as if the sky were splitting apart.

Damn… Cheaeng!

With a sharp bursting sound like glass breaking, the unstable space around is divided into several fragments and shatters.

What you see beyond is an unidentifiable empty darkness… It was a huge dragon flying leisurely through the void.

An overwhelming size that can be felt even from a considerable distance away.

At that level, it would easily surpass most large monsters and be at a similar level to the two-headed giant from before.

However, even though it was so huge, its overall shape was extremely sleek.

Graceful curves starting from the head with imposing horns. The bright red scales are so vivid that it seems as if they are proclaiming that they are the center of the world.

Biology… Rather, I think it is a similar type of beauty to that felt in a stylish supercar.

His weight class and sculptural beauty are incomparable to those of less-grown hatchlings.

However, this is only what I felt by looking at the outline. The closer you look, the more your initial impression fades.

The red scales had fallen off here and there, exposing the inner flesh, and even the scales had rotted away, exposing the crushed internal organs. Sometimes bones were visible.

What about wings there? The skeleton is still the same, but the skin is so tattered that one wonders how it is even flying.

Above all, the deep aura of death felt from Ajidahaka. I get goosebumps from the disgust that any living person can feel.

I can see it in person. The Ajdahaka I knew is dead. All that remains now is a monster wearing the shell of that mighty dragon.

Although he has inherited his memory, if Ajida Haka were alive, he would not have been able to tolerate his appearance.

This is because underneath his arrogance lies endless self-love.

Dragons are strong, beautiful, and great. However, why does such a dragon have to fight so cruelly and die in such an ugly manner?

Because such repulsion led him to a noble ruler, Ajidahaka always placed importance on his dignity as a dragon.

Be stronger and nobler than anyone else.

Because he was a man who tried to keep these principles under any circumstances, he would have been able to become an apostle of noble rule.

Well, since he was actually a guy who planned to eat his own people and raise them like livestock, I think the definition of nobility might be a little different.

Anyway, it doesn’t change the fact that he is a guy who cares a lot about his appearance.

But look at Ajdahaka now.

Only traces of the dignity from when he was alive remain, and even then, it will disappear completely one day.

Tarla said that Ajdahaka was acting arbitrarily regardless of his narrow-minded will to usurp, but I don’t think so.

It’s just that her ego is so bloated that it’s not noticeable, but it’s clear that Ajda Haka is slowly being assimilated into the narrow-minded Chantal.

By the way, where is Vlad…

“Huh.”

It’s a little late to notice Ajida Haka’s powerful presence, but there’s something her guy is holding in one of her hands.

Gray-white hair in an old-fashioned style. A nobleman with an old-fashioned mustache and a stiff suit.

A middle-aged man with pale skin and a skinny, but strangely decadent look was dangling from Ajidahaka’s hand.

It’s a familiar face. That guy must be Vlad Draculea.

… The ecstatic expression on his face while being held in Ajidahaka’s hand is a bit disturbing.

“Ugh… Yandel student. “Why does that guy have such a bad face?”

“I see. “Maybe it’s because I really enjoyed being held by the dragon.”

Vlad was a famous genius from his human days. He is not only good at one thing, but swordsmanship and magic. He is an all-round beauty genius who is even deeply knowledgeable in the arts.

This was due to the dragon bloodline passed down through the Draculea family, so although the direction is different, Vlad is a type in which the dragon factor is strongly expressed, just like Lindelheidt’s progenitor.

The problem is that Vlad himself was overly proud of this.

The man who was expected to become a leading figure of an era was so absorbed by the traces of the dragon within him that he willingly gave up being a human.

He hunted down numerous high-ranking vampires, purified their blood, and swallowed them.

The crazy man who became a vampire himself, not belonging to anyone, began to search for Draculea’s blood in earnest.

He first used his family and relatives as test subjects, and after they all died, he continued the experiment by increasing the number of clan members.

But perhaps something didn’t work out, or perhaps he had intended to do so from the beginning, he killed all his clan members and dissolved them in his own blood.

Thanks to this, he was called a High Lord in the sense that he had a power that surpassed that of other vampire Lords… In any case, in the end, he was only a vampire and did not become a dragon.

“I guess the reason you became a believer in the noble reign in the first place was because you wanted to get closer to Ajidahaka? Of course, Ajidahaka hated vampires when he was alive, so his efforts were in vain. But now that I am captured by Ajidahaka, who has become the evil dragon, I feel like my long-held wish has been fulfilled.”

“Aha? Aha? “I guess it’s similar to how good it feels when I’m grabbed by a Yandel student?”

“… ?”

Similar… Did you do it?
