◈ Chapter 517: Under the Island (2)
It was a giant eel that was devouring the island.
Its size was so large that every time it opened its mouth, the size of the mansion disappeared.
The giant eel devoured an island in an instant.
The guy moved to find the next prey, as if he wasn’t full yet.
The place the monster was heading to was the island where Ludger was staying.
“Come this way!”
“Everyone run away!”
Students panicked.
It was embarrassing for Rudger as well.
A head-to-head match against a guy who preys on the Sky Island was too much.
“Everyone stay calm!”
“Did you hear what Mr. Rudger said? Go ahead and move!”
Rudgar and Selina lead the students to the edge of the island.
Rudger asked Julia as he ran.
“What is that huge eel?”
“It’s an island swallow.”
“That bastard’s naming sense just can’t get used to.”
“Talk to the previous Dreamwalkers, not me.”
“Ask me one thing. Are monsters like that common here?”
“Not at all. It is a rare object even in the middle layer. I’ve never seen one in the upper middle class.”
Julia was equally perplexed.
There is no way a monster that is many times more dangerous than a nightmare subject suddenly appears like this.
“What is that old man’s voice just now?”
“The culprit that caused this situation.”
“Who the hell is it that makes even the island swallower move… … ?”
Julia didn’t get an answer to her question.
When they reached the end of the island, the other end was sliding into the Island Swallower’s mouth with a crunching sound.
The entire island shook like an earthquake.
The trees and rocks that make up the island are sucked into the island devourer’s black throat.
The Island Swallower moved its mouth without stopping and quickly approached Rudger.
“Everybody jump down!”
“Ha, but too high… … .”
“There is no time for that!”
At Ludger’s exclamation, the students closed their eyes and jumped off the island.
Rudger made sure that everyone had jumped and jumped last.
Right after Rudger jumped off, a huge mouth swept past the spot where everyone was just a moment ago.
Aww!
Falling students screamed.
I didn’t even think about using the magic I learned normally at this moment.
“Everyone stay still!”
Julia took out her staff and drew a spell.
The formula was more concise and simple than usual.
If it were real, the magic wouldn’t work properly.
But this was Dreamland.
It is also the middle layer where the unconscious begins to affect the environment.
Here, magic does not simply depend on theoretical techniques, distribution of mana, and flow of magical power.
What matters is your will to use magic.
It was to embody it as a firm image in my head.
Translucent white wings spread wide.
It was a huge bird made of paper.
The bird spread its wings and caught all the falling students with its back.
“Sah, lived.”
“Hey, what is this? Is this also magic?”
The students were taken aback by the magic they had never seen before.
But Julia couldn’t afford to answer that kindly.
The island swallower that ate the island started moving toward the next goal.
It looked like a giant eel, but the sight of it wriggling between the celestial islands was like watching a giant serpent.
The Island Swallower uses Cheongong Island as its staple food, but for now, it has not lived up to its name and has been targeting people.
“Hold tight, everyone!”
Julia gave a command to the paper bird she had created.
The paper bird flew at high speed.
It was like watching a swallow, moving rapidly through the crevices of the island and moving dazzlingly.
However, the Island Swallower had no intention of missing its prey once it was taken.
Kwaaang!
The solid island became fragments and scattered.
The Island Swallower chased after it, smashing all the islands in its way with its head.
“The distance is closing!”

The paper bird’s flight was fast, but not enough to escape the giant island swallower.
Julia gritted her teeth.
Right now, this was the best I could do, so I couldn’t speed it up any further.
I could understand why my seniors told me to avoid the Island Swallower just by looking at it.
‘Still, this is unfair. I didn’t mean to approach him, he came.’
My heart was pounding for no reason at the thought that I might die here.
No matter how calmly she tried, she was also a student at Seorn and the same age as the kids here.
“I will cast them out with magic.”
Then Rudger said something unbelievable.
Julia glanced back at Rudger.
“I beg your pardon?”
“If we keep going like this, we’ll catch up, so shouldn’t we try our best?”
“Will magic work for a monster whose staple food is the island?”
“You have to do that to know.”
“Forgot? This is the middle floor!”
The middle layer is different from the upper layer.
Using magic is much more difficult.
Of course, Ludger freely handled magic even in the middle layer, but even so, it was not enough to deal with the Island Devourer.
The Island Swallower that is chasing you is a monster that eats the island as its staple food.
No matter how powerful the magic was, it was said that he was so overwhelming that one could scar his hard scales.
It was for that reason that previous Dream Walkers ran away just by seeing the Island Devourer.
But will you fight back?
“I can’t help but do nothing.”
“… … .”
Julia didn’t have much of a rebuttal.
Considering what Rudger has shown so far, I have hope that maybe this time too.
“imagination!”
Julia advised Rudger while focusing on flying.
“From the middle class, theories are useless. Like the magic I’m using now, the important thing is people’s will. Instead of trying to implement magic with formulas, chanting, and calculations, you have to do it with your heart.”
Julia wanted to tell herself what she was doing.
feel it in your heart Isn’t this the way to be treated as a superstition?
Now, with each minute and every second running out, this wasn’t advice for a magic teacher.
It was natural for the answer to come back to how to do it.
It was natural.
“Then it’s easy.”
Is that a white lie to reassure you?
Or is it a bluff to look strong even in this situation?
That certainty in Rudger’s voice felt like neither of the two.
Rudger passed the students who looked up at him expectantly and stood on the feathers of the paper bird.
The Island Devourer opened its huge mouth and came close.
The inside of his wide open mouth looked like a long passage leading to an abyss.
“Is it magic that unfolds with the heart?”
How Dreamwalkers use magic in Dreamland.
Beyond being unfamiliar to modern wizards, a way of the distant past that is now forgotten.
But that’s what it is.
“It’s my major.”
A radiance of pure white light burst from behind Ludger’s back.
All the students had no choice but to cover their eyes with their hands in the dazzling light.
Those who struggled to open their eyes couldn’t close their mouths at the sight of a gigantic kidney appearing behind Ludger’s back.
Holding a sword in his right hand and a sack in his left hand, Xinjiang glared at the Island Swallower, distorting his ferocious face.
Huge energy gathered at the tip of the sword in his hand, and bright yellow flames burst out like a torrent.
“Acalanātha.”
The commanded kidney moved.
The sword, imbued with hot flames, thrust itself into the Island Devourer’s mouth.
The flames fired from the tip of the sword were sucked into the Island Devourer’s throat.
────!!!
The hot heat that burns up to the inside of your throat.
The flame that punishes all evil did not simply burn the throat.
It flows from the inside of the neck, through the intestines, and out to the outside of the skin.
In an instant, the Island Devourer’s body was engulfed in golden flames.
The Island Swallower twisted.
The islands that were hit by the head, body, and tail that swayed randomly were shattered and scattered.
Fragments scattered in all directions flew in, aiming for the paper bird.
If Julia hadn’t managed to turn, she would have fallen.
“I guess I’ll have to keep my distance.”
Rudger looked back and stared at Selina.
“Mr. Rudgar?”
“Please take care of the students.”
Rudger left those words and jumped toward the Island Devourer.
“teacher!”
“It’s dangerous!”
Ignoring the words of the people calling anxiously from behind, Ludger manipulated Fudo Myowang.
Achalantana floated behind her, raised her sword and slashed the devourer’s forehead.
────!!!
The Island Devourer, engulfed in golden flames, entangled with Ludgar and crashed down below.
Selina couldn’t help but watch him with a blank gaze.
Julia couldn’t help but be surprised in a different way.
‘What was the magic just now?’
A vicious kidney that appeared behind Ludger’s back.
It was magic that even Julia had never seen before.
Burning an Island Devourer in one blow? Is there any magic that can do that?
‘Magic? Can you call that magic?’
Rather, it was as if he was seeing something far superior to the magic he knew.
‘no. Now is not the time to think like that. Due to the commotion a while ago, other life forms recognized our presence.’
A different sign was felt in the distance.
Although not to the extent of island swallowers, they were mid-level creatures that would pose a considerable threat if encountered.
“Hold tight, everyone!”
Julia gave the order to the paper bird and quickly moved out of her seat.
* * *
Rudger and the Island Devourer crashed endlessly.
The Island Swallower was persistent.
From the inside to the outside, they screamed and struggled even though there was no place that was not burned by the flames.
I didn’t even know how many islands I had broken while falling.
However, as everything has an end, the Island Swallower’s outbursts have gradually subsided.
“You’re a dirty tough guy.”
Stepping on the completely charred corpse, Rudger caught his breath.
The method of realizing what he imagined was in line with the method of real magic that Rudger used outside.
Rather, it was safe to say that it was good because there were no more restrictions than in reality in that it did not deal with magical power.
However, it was also the first time I used it, so the consumption of mental power was not easy.
Rudger jumped on the Island Devourer’s corpse and flew towards a nearby island.
Behind Ludger’s back, the wings made of shadows spread wide.
“It’s nice that this part is comfortable.”
Normally, a flight that would be possible using Ather Nocturnus was enough with a simple imagination here.
Of the nearby islands, Rudger headed towards the largest-looking one.
There was no particular reason for the choice.
It was because it was judged that the bigger the place, the higher the probability of encountering someone else.
Landing on the edge of the island, Ludger looked up.
Light fell between the countless islands, and the powder of the falling waterfall created a rainbow.
‘He must have escaped safely.’
Rudger remembered the people he sent first.
It’s true that I’m worried, but with Julia, I’ll be fine.
At least in Dreamland, there are few wizards as good as Julia.
Ludger, who was properly prepared, walked towards the island.
Moderate hills and moderate forests.
It was a common terrain in Lederbelk.
Rudger walked slowly, raising his guard.
The forest was silent. It made me wonder if everything in this forest was dead.
But Rudger was not vigilant.
I didn’t know when a strange guy would pop up out of nowhere.
Bassrock.
Rudger stopped.
In the distance, the bushes were moving fast.
Something from inside was rapidly approaching Rudgar.
Rudgar raised his senses and prepared his magic.
The moment he tries to trigger his magic in time for the moment he reveals himself.
“Sa, live!”
Rudger’s hand stopped when he saw a familiar face protruding from a gap in the leaves.
It was the same for opponents.
“huh?”
A small, white haired dwarf girl.
Sheridan Ironfeet stared at Ludger with wide eyes, then let out a shout of joy.
“lily! You’re here to save me!”
“Sheridan. You were safe.”
“I thought I was really going to die! What do you think! Oops! Now is not the time for this!”
Sheridan pulled Ludger’s hand.
“Sedina is in danger now!”
“what?”
“I’ll explain as I go!”
Rudger ran after Sheridan.
Sheridan explained everything he had been through to Rudger as he moved.
“So, is Sedina now fighting a mysterious monster?”
“huh. He said that one or the other had to live, so he sent me first. I was trying to find someone to ask for help somehow. lily! Sedina might die if we don’t go quickly!”
“i get it. Which way is it?”
“excuse me!”
“I will go first.”
Rudger spread his black wings behind his back.
With a crow mask on his face, Rudger flew low through the forest.
As Rudger was moving at a high speed, he heard a huge noise from afar.
over there
Rudgar turned and headed for the source of the sound.
When they arrived at their destination, a black beast was thrusting its teeth at Sedina, who was sitting down.
“dare.”
Blue sparks flew in Ludger’s eyes.
Instead of reducing the flying speed as it was, it accelerated once.
Ludger advanced, exploding the air, and kicked the beast’s side vigorously, enveloping his leg with magic power.
Quaang!
The huge beast bounced sideways.
Sedina, who received help at the moment of desperation, opened her eyes wide when she saw Ludger.
“Stop, sir!”
Wow!
The beast that had been beaten by Rudger rose up with rage.
“Thank you later. I’ll take care of that monster first.”
When Ludgar tried to use magic, threatening to kill him, Sedina hurriedly approached and stopped him.
“Now, wait a minute! That’s not just a beast!”
A shocking fact came out of Sedina’s mouth.
“That’s Hans-senpai!”
