EPISODE.57
Hwaak-.
When I opened the subspace, the first object I caught was a long horn.
‘The horn of the Dragon God King, the purification of the wind… … .’
The situation has surpassed the 5th circle and reached the 6th circle.
At this point, it wouldn’t matter if I accepted the power contained within the horn.
But, nevertheless, Russell did not do that. He returned the horn in his hand to its original position.
‘I don’t know how long it will take to absorb the horn.’
Considering that it took several days to absorb the horn with the attribute of fire or the horn with the attribute of lightning, it would be the same this time as well.
‘It’s the same with magic stones.’
What Russell wanted to check now was the ‘???’ he received as a reward.
‘Is it a map, or is it an artifact… … .’
In the former case, there might be clues related to another dragon, and in the latter case, it could be used in a variety of ways depending on its effect.
In fact, the Cloudy Ring and Golden Mask that he obtained earlier were also of great help to Russell.
With that thought in mind, the object taken out was an artifact.
A mask made of the same material as the one I got the day before, only different in appearance.
‘Is this also a type of mask-type artifact?’
While the one I got before was a bird beak-shaped mask that covered about half of the face, the one I got this time was an ordinary mask with no special features.
Ugh-.
As soon as my fingertips touch it, the name and information on the mask begin to flow into my head.
‘The second golden mask.’
As the name suggests, it was clear that it was a companion item to the ‘First Golden Mask’ obtained the day before.
‘If the first mask was an object that aided thinking and calculation… … .’
The second one had the power to increase immunity to curses in proportion to the user’s abilities.
‘It’s a helpful item when fighting cultists.’
They were cultists who were clearly connected to my father’s death in some way.
There was one more weapon that could be used against those guys.
That’s why Russell smiled faintly.
Confirming the reward ends there. Ah, he closed the space again and turned over in his sleeping bag.
‘Now it’s Circle 6… … .’
To be honest, it still didn’t feel real.
However, the existence of the sixth circle felt in the heart was by no means an illusion.
Uuuuuung-.
As the magic power was unleashed, a total of six circles began to rotate slowly.
Each person revealed their presence.
At the same time, the second magic formula created in selflessness floated through my mind.
‘Falling Sun.’
I never thought I would be inspired by the sunset.
‘The income from this foreign research is much greater than expected.’
It was completely unexpected, but this kind of coincidence is always welcome.
‘I think it would be a good idea to make plans to go to the Kuril Islands now.’
Circle 6 could be said to be the minimum baseline that was established to ensure safety in the Kuril Islands.
Since that baseline had been surpassed, I felt like I could now make a schedule.
Of course, that did not mean that he would immediately leave for the Kuril Islands upon his return.
Because I had just climbed over the wall.
First, we needed time to monitor the situation and observe the state of the circle.
After that, I needed time to absorb the Dragon God King’s horn.
‘I guess I can move again in about half a year, right?’
Thinking like that, Russell quietly closed his eyes.
Although it was only about three hours, was it the aftermath of using my brain power to its limit to break through the wall?
Somehow, the demons poured out.
Some time after that.
Vermilion shrugged his shoulders as he listened to the faint sounds coming from outside the tent.
“It seems the priest was very tired.”
Teasing, taunting-.
* * *
The time it took to return was a few days faster than when I left.
It has to be that way.
When I first set off, I needed time to find the passage into the Underworld, but when I returned, all I had to do was go straight back that way.
Uuuuuung-.
The space movement magic circle installed on the Flame Tower glows, and wow!
With a surge of magical energy, two men walked out from beyond the halo of light.
It was Russell and Vermillion.
Tap, tap, tap-.
As soon as it came out of the warp gate, Vermilion moved every part of its body and made a bone noise.
Then he muttered as if it was refreshing.
“Oh, I guess I’ll buy something.”

“Are you sure that’s how you got rid of the aftereffects of the warp gate?”
“hmm? yes. “This is just motion sickness.”
It’s not like there are muscles in the semicircular canal. You can shake off motion sickness just by making a few bone noises.
“For now, let’s go give the report to Master right away.”
Vermilion smiled brightly, patting the man’s shoulder as he looked tired.
“Perhaps Master will be very pleased to see the priest’s accomplishments.”
As the saying goes.
Ugh, ding-.
The moment Russell and Vermilion arrive at the top floor where the main room is located through the floating seats.
[You’re back. My disciples. however… … .]
A voice came from inside the closed door.
[…] … Could it be that he climbed over the wall again in the meantime? membrane-]
“-infield?”
Suddenly-!
He was so surprised that even before the second voice finished, he burst out of the door and spoke in his own voice.
Looking at that, Vermilion smiled as if he agreed.
‘You deserve it.’
I just didn’t show it so as not to affect the youngest priest who had just climbed over the wall, and Vermilion was also shocked to the point of freaking out.
From Daria’s perspective, it was like a student who had gone abroad to study as a 5th Circle master had overcome a wall and returned in just one month.
Russell smiled faintly, looking at his teacher’s face, which was uncharacteristically expressionless.
“There were some results in overseas research.”
“her. No matter how much I went abroad to study to see the world, after only seven months of mastering the 5th circle… … .”
Breaking down that wall and becoming the 6th circle.
I wondered if this made sense from Daria’s perspective as well.
I thought maybe Russell had a talent that surpassed me, but this was truly beyond my imagination.
‘I thought it would take at least a few more years… … .’
Should I praise him for doing this well, or tell him he’s a real monster?
Anyway, she is an archmage who has reached the 8th circle.
The concerns were short, and the answer was wise.
‘Whenever you’re worried, you can do both.’
I opened my mouth with a simple conclusion.
“He’s my student, but the more I look at him, the more I admire him. You monster. Good job. good job.”
I patted the back of my youngest student’s hand and praised him for several minutes.
Suddenly, a promise flashed through her mind.
It was a dinner appointment with Hemingway Melville, the owner of the Window Tower, who was scheduled to be held this evening.
‘Well, it would be worth seeing that old man’s expression.’
With a giggling laugh, her eyes swept over Russell’s whole body, drawing an arc after imagining the fun situation that would happen in a moment.
‘Let’s see… … .’
As she is also a wizard, she was curious about how Russell overcame the barrier of the 6th circle.
‘There’s nothing more accurate than actual practice to find out.’
After thinking that, she took out a lollipop candy from her pocket, chewed it, and said.
“Well then, let’s take a look at our outstanding youngest member’s skills today.”
.
.
The place Daria headed with Russell and Vermilion was a large magic training hall located in the basement of the Flame Tower.
There are two reasons why the location was not chosen as the Colosseum.
Renting the Colosseum not only required various procedures, but even though it was an actual battle, it wasn’t a proper combat situation.
This current situation was just for Daria Snowwhite, the great mage who had reached the 8th circle, to check the growth of her student.
Even though it was the same actual battle, there was a difference from then.
Standing in the middle of the underground gymnasium, she continued to chew on the lollipop, which had now shrunk by half.
Wajak, wajak.
“You’re the youngest.”
“yes. “Master.”
Wow.
“Do you remember practicing in the basement of our house during vacation?”
“of course.”
Wow.
“The rules should be the same as before, right? Oh, of course, since your skills have improved, you may have to increase the number a bit compared to then.”
Instead of answering, Russell raised his magic power towards his teacher, who was giggling as he crushed the lollipop stick he was about to eat.
Uuuuuung-.
Six circles rotate and roar at the same time. The corner of Daria’s mouth twitched at the answer that was clearer than anything else.
Then, the air around her seemed to boil, and the moment she scattered the pieces of lollipop in her hand.
Grumbling-.
Dozens along the empty space.
No, hundreds of flame wisps were created.
Soon, facial features and limbs begin to appear around them, and soon they turn into perfect flaming soldiers.
Daria Snowwhite
Originality.
Dwarves of firewood.
Hwarak, Hwarak-.
She can summon up to 777 dwarves.
The number of dwarves summoned now was not that large, but it was about half of the maximum.
Considering that each and every one of them had more power than most knights, this was a force that could easily take down a small territory or fortress.
Besides, Daria’s magic wasn’t over yet.
Wow-.
Once again, the magical power stirred wildly, and some of the dwarves that poured out gathered together and transformed into the form of giants.
Daria Snowwhite.
Originality, transformation.
The giant king of firewood.
Hwaoooooooooooooooooo!
Several flame giants, each several meters tall, roared at Russell.
‘In the past, it was too much to deal with just one of those things.’
There were as many as five such flame giants. It was a sight that would have made an ordinary wizard sit down in shock.
But Russell didn’t do that.
He was no longer an ordinary wizard, and his skills were not the same as before.
“Whoa-.”
Take a short deep breath.
How should I deal with that army of flames? There were many ways that came to mind.
‘It may take a long time, but there is also a way to launch several Gaebolgs and pierce them one by one… … .’
Conversely, there may be a way to sweep them away using hundreds of water-type low-circle magic.
It was impossible to have that many numbers, but like the teacher, there was a way to summon flame dwarves to fight back.
‘But no.’
They were just methods, not what her teacher, Daria Snowwhite, wanted to see.
What she wanted to test now was Russell’s ability to rise to the 6th circle.
‘I guess I’ll have to show you.’
Without any hesitation, Russell cast the spell.
Six circles rotated, drawing enormous magical power.
Right after.
Frequently!
The flames that were about to cover the ceiling of the underground training hall began to gather together in the shape of a circle.
“Falling Sun-.”
The sun has gone down.
The sunset spread.
Hwaaaaaaaaaaa!
wizard who swallowed a dragon
