Chapter 632

Was it possible for a human to use a dragon’s Dragon Speech magic? This was nothing short of revolutionary, as most magician-type classes had two distinct weaknesses.

The first was time, and the second was their body.

Most magicians on the continent were beginning to overcome their second weakness, which was their body. Some of these magicians could use skills such as Haste or Teleport to evade danger, while others could use body-strengthening spells to enhance their physical capabilities.

However, no magician had ever found a solution to their first weakness, which was time.

The best they could come up with was to save as many spells as they could every morning with the Memorize spell and use them when needed before refilling them again.

To use a powerful spell, a magician had to channel it first before casting it. The channeling time varied from magician to magician, and it all depended on their talents, but spamming powerful spells with just a few words uttered was something unheard of and was even considered impossible.

If there was any magician capable of doing something like this, then they would have solved the first and main weakness of all magicians, which was time.

“Is that even possible? How can a human use Dragon Speech...?” Siegfried asked, sounding surprised.

“It is impossible for a human.”

“Eh?”

“A dragon’s magic is not something that can be cast through satisfying special requirements.”

“Then...?”

“The secret behind a dragon’s magic is how good this is,” Deus said, tapping his head twice with one finger. Then, he explained, “A highly developed brain is what would allow the caster to cast a spell with just a single word.”

“Heok?”

“Is a dragon a dragon for nothing? They might be foolish, but their minds are far superior compared to a human’s.”

“Then that means...”

“His mind was far more capable than humans to continuously cast magic, which was why he could use Dragon Speech.”

“Do you mean that Sieghart possesses a far superior mind compared to other humans, master?”

“Pfft! Do you think that’s possible?” Deus scoffed and asked. Then, he said, “I thought he was someone amazing at first, but that’s not the case now that I look back at it.”

“Eh?”

“His third eye.”

“...!”

“That guy, Sieghart, had put some sort of magic eyeball in his forehead just so he could use Dragon Speech. That’s the secret behind his ability to use the dragon’s magic... If I use a term you Adventurers use, then... Is it something like an external hard drive?”

“Ah!” Siegfried exclaimed after finally understanding the secret behind using the dragon’s unique skill, Dragon Speech.

“It seems Sieghart’s descendant you met this time is using the soul fragment’s magical powers to use Dragon Speech.”

“Yes, I believe so too, Master.”

“Keke! That’s why it’s troublesome for you.”

“But there is something I am curious about, Master.”

“What is it?”

“Is it really possible to create something out of nothing? The way he brought the dead to life was just—”

“My disciple.”

“Yes, Master?”

“Do you really think that’s possible?”

“That is...”

“What Sieghart’s descendant is doing goes against not only the laws of this world but the laws of the universe.”

“Then you mean...” Siegfried muttered.

Was it possible for someone like Count Arial to go against the laws of the world?

The answer was simple.

“Thank you for your teachings once again, master,” Siegfried said, bowing low to the ground.

“Keke! I’m glad you got what I’m trying to tell you.”

“Your beloved disciple will now go and beat the living crap out of Sieghart’s descendant, Master.”

“Good! I’ll be waiting for your delightful news!” Deus said with a grin, elated at the thought of his one and only disciple, Siegfried, beating the living daylights out of the Descendant of Great Sage Sieghart.

The Proatine Forces surrounded the Capucines Territory in no time.

“Alright! It’s time to get to work, boys!” Seung-Gu exclaimed and hopped onboard the Golem King, Reventon.

He led the Iron Golems and constructed fortifications around the encirclement they formed around the Capucines Territory.

“But you have to do your best to reduce the number of people going into the city. That’s what’s important right now.”

— I understand, hyung-nim.

“Our situation isn’t that bad yet. Millions would have gathered by now if the rumors had already spread all over the continent, but that hasn't happened yet.” Siegfried grinned after saying that. ‘What a fool. You shouldn’t have been so impatient.’

He was certain that Count Arial was drunk on the soul fragment’s powers that he acted rashly and arrogantly.

First of all, he ought to have gone to the Capucines Territory. He ought to have gone somewhere far away in some remote part of the continent, away from the major kingdoms, to slowly create a foundation for himself.

Of course, the Guardians would easily find him with Eye of Behemoth if he were to use his powers to build his foundation, but he would still get the time he needed to build that foundation before clashing against the major powers.

Without a doubt, Count Arial was not only arrogant but was impatient as well.

“Keep up the good work, Seung-Gu.”

— Thank you! Hyung-nim!

“Hmm...” Siegfried fell into a dilemma after ending the call with Seung-Gu. He did obtain the information that Count Arial could use Dragon Speech due to being the descendant of Great Sage Sieghart, but the bigger problem was the soul fragment.

He had no idea what kind of power was within the soul fragment, but he was certain that the soul fragment within Count Arial was far stronger than the other soul fragments Siegfried had faced thus far.

This soul fragment had to be far more complex and stronger.

“It'd be great if I know what kind of power it has...” Siegfried grumbled with a grimace.

It was then.

“Your Majesty! I bring good news!” Michele rushed in and reported.

“Good news? What kind of good news is it?”

“We have found Count Arial’s kin!”

“Really? Who is it?”

This good news brought by Michele was welcomed by Siegfried, as finding Count Arial’s kin was very important to his plan.

“Count Arial has a daughter, and she was training at the Magic Tower.”

“Oh? So what happened?”

“Our intelligence department has reported that Count Arial has placed a request with the Mercenary Guild to bring his daughter safely to the Capucines Territory.”

“So? That’s it?”

“No, we have also found out that the mercenaries are approaching the Espadrille Province along with Count Arial’s daughter.”

“I’ll go at once,” Siegfried said, jumping up from his seat.

“Your Majesty.”

“Yeah?”

“You do not have to go there.”

“Why not?”

“Because the mercenary tasked with escorting Count Arial’s daughter is...” Michele trailed off and revealed a sinister grin.

“The tyrant wishes to seek salvation from God.”

On that same evening, Count Arial was informed that Siegfried was calling them.

“Make sure you keep an eye on things while I go speak with him,” Count Arial instructed and left for the communications room.

“Yes, my god.”

— Hi!

Siegfried smiled brightly and waved his hand at Count Arial.

“What... are you doing right now?” Cont Arial asked. Then, he grimaced and said, “Have you gone mad? I don’t think we are close enough to greet each other in such a manner.”

— Who knows?

“...?”

— Alright, before we get straight to the point...

Siegfried trailed off, pulling someone toward him.

“...!”

Count Arial flinched and froze up, and the reason was that...

— Eup! Mmpf! Mmpf!

The young girl whom Siegfried had pulled toward him was none other than his beloved daughter.
