Chapter 15: Dragon Heart (2)
Jin looked at the broken blade of Bloodbringer with a bewildered expression.
The one who had been regenerating endlessly despite his own attack evaporated without a trace by Jamie's magic.
To be honest, I was expecting it.
Unlike Jin, who has only 'Wolhee' in his wide range, Jamie is an archmage with innumerable wide range skills.
No matter how high the survivability, it is unavoidable if it is eliminated at once.
As a 9th class mage, it wasn't that he lacked destructive power, so the theory was that this was the case.
Even so, the bitterness did not go away.
'I need to hone my skills more.'
Since most of them are in charge of assassination missions, they have only been concerned about attacks on single entities.
However, there is no guarantee that such a situation will not happen again. It is impossible for Wolhee to continue to overuse as it is a mistake, so it was necessary to create a substitute.
Aside from that, I wondered where Jamie had been until now.
"Are you the one who was fighting over there?"
Jin pointed up with a finger.
There was still a huge structure in the sky, whether it was a ship or a saint.
Jamie shrugged her shoulders for no reason.
uh. It's mine."
" I don't know where he was hiding something like that.
"Well, it's like this."
Jamie reached out toward Gramia and pretended to pull it, and the huge thing quickly shrunk and came into her hand.
Jindo's eyes widened in the mask at the amazing sight.
Jamie murmured as he looked around at the scaled-down Gramia to the size of the palm of his hand.
"Fortunately, there are no problems with the function. What if it was broken?"
A hole of this size was able to repair itself through the function of the gremia.
Since the developer no longer exists, it would have been a headache to repair it.
When I made it invisible and put it in the subspace, Jin said with a slightly tired expression.
"Those who are wizards are truly amazing. Every time I see something like this, I get a series of shocks."
"Isn't there anything like this in Ryeo?"
Well, it's not common on this continent either.
Jamie mumbled quietly.
Jin replied, shaking his head.
"As I said then, Ryo's magic was not developed. Many still call magic a miracle."
exactly. To those who don't know, it may seem that way.
There are various types of magic as much as their uses, and among them, there were magic that was close to miracles for ordinary people.
For example, in the case of healing magic, it was possible to cure diseases that doctors could not cure depending on the degree, and in the case of very high-level time magic, it was possible to turn back some time.
Of course, there are very few people in this world who can properly handle time magic, and even if there are, they can only interfere with a small part, so the extent to which they can restore broken objects was limited.
by the way. I guessed by myself, maybe... Did you fight a dragon?"
Jin asked Jamie in a cautious, yet hopeful voice.
It was because Jamie knew how reckless and impossible it would be to deal with a dragon alone.
"That's it."
no wonder. Dragon Breath was right."
Jamie saw traces of Breath stretching out over the ridge.
It seemed that the breath that came out of Gremia was stirring the mountain range for a long time.
It was fortunate that there was no Jin in that direction.
Even a master swordsman would not have been able to easily cope with the sudden burst of breath.
"So what happened? surely ?"
"Killed it."
" Did you kill him?"
Jin looked at him with unbelievable eyes.
Jamie understood the gaze.
It wasn't Hetzling, but he killed Jackie Chan.
No matter how much a wizard reached class 9, killing a dragon was common sense and very difficult.
What's more, Jamie was a half ninth class.
It was normal for Jin to not easily believe the word "killed".
So, Jamie couldn't answer it as it is.
"The guy was really careless. I was ignoring you as a human being. So I just ate a big one."
"Even so "
"You know that too, right? How powerful my one room is."
Jin could not easily deny it.
Jamie directly intercepted the divine beast Basilisk that descended from the sky over the capital of Harmonia.
If the light generated at that time had been used again, even the dragon would have been quite lethal.
"Of course, I almost died. Your opponent is a dragon. Even though he was seriously injured, he was terribly strong. If I was wrong, I would have suffered."
Jamie properly mixed lies, telling Jean what would have happened had she not actually pushed her limits.
Having done so, Jin seemed to be convinced to some extent.
However, there were parts that I did not understand, so I asked again.
"Then why are you okay? No, there doesn't seem to be any wounds.
that's ."
Jamie remembered what had just happened a few minutes earlier.
* * *
"Jen chapter.
Jamie, who somehow managed to get to where the dragon's corpse was, gasped as if he was about to die.
I only crawled a little bit, but I was almost in shock.
The body that forcibly exceeded its limits was on the verge of collapse.
Jamie clenched his teeth despite the terrible pain and got up, grabbing the dragon's large body.
I almost died, but I finally arrived.
When the dragon's decayed body was scraped away, the hard scales fell like sand.
There was severe damage to the muscles and organs, whether the curse of corruption proceeded properly to the inside of the body.
The huge ribs surrounding the chest also looked like less than 20% of them were intact.
As the saying goes that there is nothing to throw away from a dragon's corpse, from head to toe, it was nothing short of a treasure.
Even small scales were being traded for hundreds of thousands of gold on the black market, so there was nothing more to say.
However, most of them were rotten, so there were hardly any parts that could be used.
'no. I'd rather be happy.'
Jamie found a faint scarlet glow between his rotten ribs and organs.
If the bones, organs, and muscles were intact, it would not have been possible to dissect them in their present state.
However, the curse of corruption was not the time to rot and crumble like sand.
"Shut up!"
With all his might, he crawled into Kairos' chest.
Jamie reached the scarlet front, covering the bones and organs with sand, and stretched out her hand with difficulty.
And grabbed 'it'.
"Suck!"
Jamie's eyes widened at the enormous force that was pushed into her fingertips.
Mana began to fill the completely depleted mana core.
It is said that dragons are born with near-infinite mana, and this is because of the dragon heart.
A dragon heart is not just a dragon's heart.
The heart is separate.
Dragon Heart is a kind of 'manastone'.
It was a level of manastone that no human dared to rank.
Even though it was simply held in hand, the body just before it collapsed due to lack of mana began to recover to its original state.
Dragon These absurd lizards."
The Dragon Heart was a beautiful scarlet stone, a little bigger than two fists put together.
It wasn't very big, but the power it contained was deep enough to know no end.
Even the older he gets, the bigger the dragon's heart grows, the stronger the dragon.
If you were born with something like this on your body, it would be strange that you weren't strong enough.
"Whoa. I think I will live now."
The energy of the Dragon Heart filled the body and restored the state of the body to normal.
Jamie stared intently at the Dragon Heart, then nodded as if determined.
"Let's take it at once."
I wanted to absorb it right away, but I didn't have to.
If you absorb these all at once, it may take several hours for them to fully digest.
In the meantime, if things go wrong below, it's irreversible.
Above all, there was a possibility that there were other dragons who noticed Kairos' death.
Jamie took only the intact parts of Dragon Heart and Kairos' corpses, and then went downstairs.
* * *
"And now it has come."
" like that.
Jin seemed a bit distracted by Jamie's lengthy explanation.
It was such a shocking story.
Jamie thought he might not believe him, so he took out the Dragon Heart and showed it to him.
"Look. this is dragon heart Isn't it brilliant?
Quickly. put it in! What if someone sees it!"
"The nature. Who sees?"
" It looks real anyway. The energy I feel is unbelievable."
Jin also swallowed dry saliva at the immense power he didn't know from the Dragon Heart.
"Anyway, I need to think a little about how to deal with this."
"It cannot be sold. The dragon might wipe out the human world."
"I know."
There have been a few stories about Dragon Heart's tangled anecdotes, but for the most part, the ending was similar.
The dragon who came to retrieve the Dragon Heart destroyed the city or country.
The scary thing was that this story actually happened.
And not just once or twice, but several times.
After repeating the same mistake over and over, humans never traded Dragon Hearts even if they happened to be found.
The dragon heart on the market will definitely stand out, and the dragon's eye watches over the entire human world.
By the way. Why did you have to show it to me?"
Jin asked as he watched Jamie put the Dragon Heart into the subspace.
"The Dragon Heart is a great treasure. If you show it to others, there may be some trouble, but why did you show it to me?"
huh. What's so great about Dragon Heart?
" That's great."
"It's a relative beg. Now, I need it quite a bit... Even if you don't, it's just a little bit And the reason I showed you, it doesn't matter. You got such an expensive thing, of course you want to brag, don't you?
Jin was at a loss for words for a moment at the very human reply.
Then he stared at Jamie, who replied as if he was asking why he was asking the obvious, then smiled and made a face that said he couldn't stop him.
"I'm glad I'm not an old dragon."
okay. I'm glad I'm not a dragon. Because the old dragon wouldn't even be vigilant.
"Are you familiar with ancient dragons?"
"Roughly."
At least now, monsters that you should never touch.
Jamie swallowed the back words and prepared for departure.
There was no preparation for departure.
Because all my luggage is in the subspace.
"Stop going. I don't know if another dragon will appear. Then it must be an old dragon."
Damn it. Please do me a favor."
"Then go."
The two new figures were engulfed in the light of mana and disappeared.
* * *
An unknown mountain range in a blizzard.
An unknown area that has not yet been explored by mankind in the present age.
A cute boy and girl with blue hair holding hands, looking down at the bottom of a cliff with no end in sight due to a blizzard.
The eyes of the boys and girls were the same blue as their hair, and the pupils were long torn.
said the girl.
"The creature down there. strong."
Huh. We are strong enough to be incompetent."
"Isn't he weaker than Senstreon?"
"Stronger than Senstreon."
"Wow- then should Grandpa come forward?"
Huh. Grandpa has to come."
The boy looked at the girl with a smile and answered.
Then, as if in surprise, the girl's large eyes twinkled, and she looked down again.
It didn't look like a blizzard, but the girl's eyes could clearly see the person standing at the bottom of the cliff.
It was a humanoid woman similar to them, but with light blue hair in long braids.
On her forehead was a round jewel the same color as her hair. The girl did not know that she was of a race called Ran.
because they were just born
"Grandpa is coming."
The boy pulled the girl's hand and looked behind him.
A middle-aged man with indigo blue hair long enough to reach his ankles was walking there.
The middle-aged man was wearing a pure white uniform with no wrinkles, and he felt great dignity just by standing there.
Behind him stood a young blue-haired man with a muscular physique.
grandfather! Senstreon oppa!"
The girl ran to the two of them.
A middle-aged man called Grandpa held the girl and called her name.
"Our Sevier. Why are you here? Resting in a warm cave."
"The creature down there. Strong. Can Grandpa win?"
"Sevier. It's rude to say that to Grandpa.
At that time, a young man called Senstreon behind him corrected the girl's words.
"Grandpa came here just to listen to that. A fight is never going to happen."
"Grandpa is strong!"
"Yes, yes. Grandpa is very strong. Ephetion. You took good care of your brother."
"Yes, Grandpa."
A boy called Ephethion laughed hesitantly.
The middle-aged man put Sevier down next to Ephetion and stroked the heads of the two children.
"Then don't go away for a while. Senstreon. Stay with the children."
Bye.
haha.
Senstreon held two children each in her arms.
The middle-aged left them and walked up to the cliff.
He waved his hand roughly, and the blizzard stopped like a lie.
Then came the voice of a woman from below.
"It was a car that had a hard time opening my eyes, but thanks to it, I can see well. Thank you, Chiron Seira."
"Isis. Well, you've come all the way here. I would definitely have refused. Did you listen to me in vain?"
A middle-aged man called 'Chiron Seira' looked at Isis with a very cold face, unlike when he looked at the children.
Even just looking at it, thunder started to strike from the sky as if nature was moving according to his will.
Then Isis smiled and shook her head.
"I thought about it. I need your help too. Otherwise, it won't work."
"Lady Lan. The liver is also large. You must have already forgotten who I am."
"At that time, I almost died, but this time I was fully prepared."
Saying so, Isis stretched out her hand in the air.
A powerful lightning bolt flew from there, and a giant sword that radiated blue light was summoned.
Seeing this, Chiron Seira's eyes widened.
that is ."
"Thunder Dragon Sword Gram. As you can see, Dragon Slayer."
"Crazy. Hi, do you really want to die? How dare you take out something made out of a dragon's body in front of a dragon!!!"
Kwagga Gaga!
A storm of lightning fell around Isis.
It was a huge natural disaster.
It was a terrible power that could annihilate even a large city in an instant.
But Isis was fine.
She smiled happily and put Gram on her shoulder.
"You have no intention of killing me."
"You foolish little girl. Are you serious about dying?"
"Let's bet. If I don't die, do me a favor, Chiron Seira. You know it doesn't make sense now. The dragon is no longer the manager of Middle-earth. just ."
"Shut up."
"Then please."
Chiron Seira closed her eyes at Isis' serious suggestion.
And when he opened his eyes, his body began to expand and become huge.
Blue scales covered the entire skin, and his arms and legs grew huge as if they were about to destroy Mount Tai.
It has a long snout and six horns that grow above its head.
Chiron Seira roared with its huge wings that seemed to cover the sky.
Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!!
At that overwhelming cry, Isis laughed even more deeply.
She swallowed dry saliva, looking at the giant dragon that filled the sky.
Not hundreds of meters.
It should be measured in units of at least several kilometers.
old dragon.
Old dragons who have lived for more than 5,000 years.
And the origin that made the dragon clan the most powerful race on earth.
"It's exciting."
He spread his huge snout.
A huge light fell towards the ground.
Isis swung Gram towards the falling light.
that day.
Hundreds of kilometers in a radius of the land, where no human foot can reach, evaporated as it was.
