Episode 50
EPISODE.25
There was a literal sand explosion.
One of the five symbols of Volare Sangue. To put it simply, the killing technique Cheonchammanryuk was a super-fast secret sword.
Muscles strained to their limit.
The dozens of sword strikes released through him form a dense net of sword energy.
Anything that comes within the air range will be shattered into dozens or hundreds of pieces.
A sword technique that covers a wide area and binds it to a narrow area, demonstrating its majesty in battles not only against armies but also against people.
That was Cheonchammanryuk.
‘If it’s within range, it’ll be hard to leave even a single bone fragment, right?’
Something I don’t know whether it was flesh light or blood began to stain the whites of my eyes.
Spandom stuck out his tongue, showing his red, shiny eyes.
He slowly moistened his lower lip and murmured.
“So why bother? “If he had died comfortably, the body could have been left behind for a funeral.”
Of course, he would have cut off the head and taken it.
It was a voice filled with too much murderous madness to be passed off as a joke.
The moment I was about to put the bloody sword on my shoulder.
-!!
Every sensation in my body screamed.
All of my senses as a trained Auror practitioner were constantly ringing alarm bells.
You get the illusion that dozens or hundreds of needles are aimed at your skin.
With a moment of sensation, he tensed the muscles of his entire body.
‘You survived that?’
If he had been hit in that state, it would have been difficult to say that he was safe.
It may not have died, but at least one of its limbs may have been cut into several pieces.
But you survived it?
And with a body that doesn’t have much magical power left?
That can’t be possible.
There’s no way that’s possible.
As if to deny such thoughts of spandom, red smoke rose from the sand dust.
Whoa!
‘Ugh!’
Rich scent of blood
It’s not smoke. It was steam.
Steam generated when the blood flowing from a wound boils and vaporizes due to mana heated to a high temperature.
At most 1 second.
Many thoughts passed through my head in a short period of time, about 1 second.
It was almost at the same time that the circles, which had grown in size to almost five, let out a loud roar.
Wow!
A roar like that of a monster.
Cutting through the sand dust.
Something in the shape of a half-man, half-dragon rushed towards Spandom.
.
.
… … 15 seconds.
At the moment of apparition, the blood all over my body boiled as if it were lava.
A wave of sensation that pours in to the point of making your head dizzy for a moment.
Even though I had practiced several times, it was an experience I had never experienced before.
‘maybe.’
I guess it means that my physical condition is not that good.
Even if it was in perfect condition, the aftereffects of becoming a dragon were clear changes.
Nevertheless, there was clearly a reason why Russell had saved his acceptance until now.
Although it was an acceptable practice that brought power that transcended the circle for a moment, its limitations and side effects were also clear.
‘The duration of acceptance is at most 15 seconds.’
There was a clear difference in capabilities between someone who could exert power beyond his limit for just 15 seconds and someone who could naturally use such power.
In order to narrow the gap, Russell made Spandom overconsume Aurors.
… … 13 seconds and 0. About a few seconds.
Russell, who regained consciousness for close to a second, kicked the floor with his toes.
bang!
The sand exploded.
Russell, who quickly reached the subsonic range, stretched out his hand.
I cast a spell.
Now that you have used Yonginhwa, you will be able to use even 5th circle magic.
Although it may be a bit difficult.
‘Dwarf of firewood… … .’
The medium used is torn and cracked pieces of cloth that were once one’s clothes.
‘Pfft!’
Hwarak, Hwarak-!

With a short groan and the manifestation of magical power, four firewood dwarves appeared.
Those who appeared from all directions attacked Spandom as if surrounding it.
Unlike Daria’s, it was smaller and unarmed, but that was enough.
Because I had no intention of capturing Spandom with that magic in the first place.
… … 12 seconds.
‘Flare cannon.’
The magic of the 5th circle that Hubert showed during the battle with the cultist the previous day.
The moment you open your curled palms wide!
Quang, jade flames were ejected at ultra-high speed.
It had a long tail like a comet and penetrated the desert like a ray of light.
It took less than a second for the shot trajectory to reach Spandom’s eyes.
“Tsk!”
He, whose ankles were being held by four dwarves, twisted his sword as if struggling.
… … 11 seconds.
――――!!
The pillar of fire rose so high that it seemed to touch the sun.
… … 10 seconds, 9 seconds, 8 seconds.
As if the heat of the entire desert were concentrated on one point, the atmosphere was burning and it was suffocating.
“This bastard… … .”
From there, Spandom walked out with a clatter.
… 7 seconds, 6 seconds.
Part of the face was hideously distorted due to burns.
Part of the blade that blocked the flames melted and dripped red-hot molten iron.
If it were a criminal, it wouldn’t be surprising if he died several times.
However, despite this, Spandom moved.
While frowning, he swung his sword at Russell.
… … 5 seconds.
Fuwaaaaaaa!
‘The flame… … window!’
The flame giant spear that appeared while blocking his own aura was enough to astonish Spandom.
I knew it was within close range, but I never thought it would come this far!
And how dense is the density of magical power that makes up the spear!
It was incomparable to the gigantic fireworks I had seen before.
‘Ugh-!’
Spandom, who suddenly realized that he was intimidated, was crushed and ground his teeth.
‘How dare a wizard… … .’
He had engaged in close combat with himself.
It was a disgrace as a prosecutor.
Let me teach you about fractions. With that thought, Spandom with a red face twisted his wrist.
Using his strength and skill appropriately, he struck down the spear of flame and pressed it down.
… … 4 seconds.
I don’t know what they did, but…
‘It won’t last that long.’
Because growth in power in this way was impossible without taking on enormous risks.
‘I will never kill you comfortably.’
First, the tendons in the limbs will be cut, the eyes will be gouged out, and then the teeth and fingernails will be pulled out.
After that, I planned to slice its flesh into thin bags.
They will use the scorching sunlight of the desert to make beef jerky.
It didn’t seem like a bad idea to use merchants to distribute the beef jerky to Endymion.
‘So that the bastards from your home country can chew on your flesh.’
The guy chuckled, revealing without filtering the face of a murderer full of madness.
… … 3 seconds.
However, Spandom did not know.
Even this struggle of power was laid by a wizard named Russell.
A confrontation that took place from the front.
Another magic that was being prepared was not revealed because it was hidden by the huge flames and movement of magical power.
Spandom didn’t know.
… … 2 seconds.
It is given a fire attribute that goes well with this desert.
“Melt Down.”
The sandy ground I was standing on melted.
Just as the two people’s feet are being pulled into the magma swamp!
“Lightning touch, blink.”
A hand filled with electricity swept over the exposed bare skin of the spandex.
… … 1 second.
Russell’s new model jumped out of the spot.
… … Zero.
It was truly a narrow miss.
.
.
Stiffness due to electric shock.
What followed was the magma half-body bath.
Spandom screamed and screamed.
The pain of the lower body melting was not something that even an Expedition-level Auror practitioner could easily endure.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
thud!
Russell, who appeared a little further away, coughed indiscriminately.
“Cluck, clack, clack.”
Aside from the shock of falling from the back due to Blink’s failed landing, the heat coming from the overheated circle was unusual.
Perhaps because his mental power had been completely exhausted, a pounding headache was tormenting him.
The evidence was that every time he coughed, blood mixed with sand flowed out.
‘Oh, I’m dying.’
I wanted to lie down right away, but I couldn’t.
When I forced myself to move my body and raise my upper body, my spandex was crawling on the floor and struggling.
“akrkaglaemfdj!”
The distance was quite long so I couldn’t hear what was being said clearly.
Even though his lower body is almost completely melted and his form is hard to find, I feel like he’s still alive.
“wlsWkglaemfdj!”
What on earth are you talking about earlier?
For a moment, you may wonder, “Is the vitality of those who overcome the wall as tenacious as c*ckroaches?”
Feeling really cheerful, Russell raised his middle finger instead of answering.
“dusckadmfgoekffkrnqty!?”
He was even more abusive, but who cares?
What I have to give back this time is not a verbal answer.
Even though it was difficult to chant, there were a few spells that I had memorized for this moment.
Russell activated the magic that had been prepared since the first paving stone was laid.
‘Icicle Arrow.’
Not one, but five.
With the advent of magic that focused on penetration rather than explosion or firepower, Spandom’s face became as pale as an ice arrow.
“du… dusckawnrduwnj!!”
It was sprawled on the floor, struggling with both arms, and an ice arrow pierced its back like a hedgehog.
Sigh!
[You have completed the mission.]
[As compensation, you will receive 4 intermediate magic stones (edible).]
Russell let out a long sigh as he listened to the notifications flowing in like confirmed kills.
“Ugh-.”
Then he let out a sigh. There was no place on her body that did not ache.
Blood was still oozing from the cracked and cut wounds, and the muscles all over my body were throbbing as if they were about to break at any moment.
The circle wasn’t that bad either.
The magic power that was full was gone, and all that was left was a mere amount of magic power.
This was because the acceptance was released and both the magic, body, and mind and body experienced a backlash.
I wanted to lie down right away and go to sleep, but… … .
‘That can’t be possible.’
Wasn’t he being chased by the empire’s dogs just a little while ago?
If I fell asleep here, there was a chance that I would be caught by those who came to check on the progress of the battle.
‘Before that, my body might get cooked in the desert heat, or I might die from excessive bleeding.’
Now was the time to move my body.
That’s why Russell opened the inventory.
Before going on a mission, I took out what Daria had given me in preparation for any unexpected situation.
Click.
A red liquid contained in a long glass tube about twice the length of your thumb.
It was a potion.
After drinking half, I sprayed the other half all over my body. Push-hik-.
White steam rose and the bleeding stopped rapidly.
‘Ah, I will live.’
I could feel my stomach, which had been pounding and pounding, slowly subsiding.
Of course, just because it was a potion, it wasn’t all-purpose.
The only power of the potion is to help stop bleeding and slightly increase regenerative power.
If all wounds were cured as soon as you drank it, it should be called the legendary ‘elixir’ and not a potion.
But for Russell, that was enough.
What he needed right now was not a complete recovery of his body, but enough energy to move.
fluttering-.
Russell stood up, opened his inventory and took out an extra robe.
It didn’t matter that it wasn’t a robe with the Flame Tower’s authentication magic.
First of all, it was important to cover the tattered body from the scorching sun.
That’s the end of the preparations to resume movement. I’ll have to leave, but before that…
‘I need to take that with me.’
What is at the edge of your gaze is… … .
A corpse with its back pierced by an arrow of ice and its lower body half melted.
Similarly, a long sword with about half of its body melted.
… … It was the spoil of this battle.
wizard who swallowed a dragon
