Dragon-Devouring Mage Chapter 221

EPISODE.111

Purr-.

Piyu, biyuu-.

Russell was deep in thought as he caught a glimpse of Pepper and Sherbet playing with each other.

‘What should I do with that guy…’ … .’

It wouldn’t be difficult to take him with him, but keeping him with him was always the problem.

Even when a battle or something similar happened, it was impossible to fight while holding it in my arms.

Did you read Russell’s thoughts?

Biyu-!

Sherbet, who was playing with Pepper, jumped up from her seat.

It ran towards me on its four stocky legs and opened its small mouth.

He then bit down on Russell’s hand.

“─!?”

I was surprised by the unexpected behavior, but it didn’t hurt. She bit her hand as if she had no intention of causing any harm, but did not raise her teeth.

It was that moment.

[Bingryong and Sherbet in their infant form use freezing.]

With the notification, Sherbet’s body began to change little by little, and soon a long bracelet appeared along Russell’s wrist.

It was a bracelet that seemed to be carved out of ice and was emitting cold air.

Piyu-.

One after another, Sherbet’s voice was heard from the bracelet.

It was difficult to understand the exact meaning, but it seemed like he was saying that if he did this, he would be able to chase after him.

That’s not the only surprising thing.

[The protection of the frozen Bingryong rests upon you.]

[The power and casting speed of water and ice attribute magic increase significantly.]

[This is a decision imbued with the power of young Bingryong. The power of the dragon resides within it.]

[Injecting magical power increases both strength and hardness.]

The chill that flowed from the bracelet melted into magical energy and flowed into Russell’s body.

‘This kind of ability… … .’

I knew dragons were mysterious creatures, but I never thought they had abilities like this.

It was an ability that had never been found in other dragons.

Perhaps this is an ability that only Bingryong possesses, or if not, it is a unique ability that Shabet possesses.

“Can I change it to another form?”

Piyu?

As if tilting his head in response to Russell’s question, the ice bracelet rattled.

‘well… … .’

After thinking for a moment, Russell answered.

‘Like a spear, say?’

At that moment, blah, blah blah-.

With the chill, the ice spread out in a long line, and the bracelet turned into a long icicle-like shape.

Tsk, tsk tsk-.

The speed was much slower than when it was first made into a bracelet.

Beep, beep… … .

Shabet, who had transformed into a spear, mumbled a tired voice.

It was Pepper who interpreted Shabet’s cries and words that Russell could not understand.

Purr, purr, purr!

There’s no need to do that, but the way he tries to explain using hand gestures, foot gestures, and even tail gestures… … .

Russell thought it was a bit cute for a dragon.

‘Are you saying it’s difficult because the shapes other than the bracelet feel unfamiliar?’

After understanding, Russell spoke to Shabet.

“It’s okay to go back to the way it was.”

Piyuuu… … .

Sigh, blah blah blah.

Once again, the spear returns to the form of an ice bracelet.

‘It looks like shapes other than bracelets require some practice.’

It seemed difficult to change it into various forms in practice.

‘If the problem is that you’re not used to it, you can start practicing little by little from now on.’

In any case, the problem of taking Sherbet with him had been resolved, so Russell turned around without any hesitation.

I took steps to get out of the underwater cave.

.

.

After that, Russell’s return home was peaceful.

The various gates of the underwater cave that blocked the entrance when entering were also gone as if melting snow when leaving.

I love you so much -.

Russell, who escaped Arendelle in a short period of time using high-speed flight using Pepper, used the Nadia Desert as his route.

Likewise, I was crossing the middle of the desert using Pepper.

Although Pepper is mentally young, she possesses the power of a fire dragon.

That power and energy was not something that the various monsters in the desert could dare approach.

Kyaaaaa-!

At the same time as they let out a roar, the flying monsters that were looking for prey formed a flock and scattered in all directions.

‘Dragon Fear.’

Not only is his momentum as a dragon, but his flight time is also gradually increasing, so it seems that he is gradually adapting to the power of a dragon.

As if she didn’t like the heat of the hot Nadia desert, the sherbet in the shape of a bracelet gave off a chill from time to time, but anyway… … .

It was around the time he reached the border of Endymion that Russell’s peaceful return home was broken.

‘That… … .’

A border so far away that it can only be seen using low-circle magic and hawk vision.

I could see people standing in a long line along the border wall.

‘Something strange?’

Endymion is one of only two powers on the continent. Therefore, the immigration process is quite strict.

However, if you were to ask whether the screening was so strict that the lines were so long, it wasn’t.

But what a sight like that.

Russell frowned as he saw hundreds or more people lined up along the castle wall.

‘If the quality of entry screening needs to be improved… … .’

Russell, who was thinking about a few things, jumped off Pepper’s back.

Purr-.

As if he had been waiting for Pepper to become smaller, Chuck-.

Just before hitting the ground, he used flight magic and his shoe feet lightly stepped on the sand of the Nadia Desert.

After landing, Russell walked towards the castle wall, which was still quite far away.

‘If you approach riding Pepper, you’ll attract too much attention.’

The line of people I saw up close seemed a little longer than when I saw it from afar.

In addition, there was an unexplained tension between those waiting to enter the country and the soldiers screening them.

Not only that, but unlike usual, several knights who appeared to be quite high-level knights were present at the examination hall to supervise the soldiers.

‘This is going to take a long time.’

As he approached them, one of the knights who spotted Russell raised his voice threateningly, with double rays in his eyes.

“Hey, why are you not waiting in line…” … .”

No, that’s what I was trying to say.

Before that, Russell cut him off by showing off the identity card he had made at the Magic Tower.

“Duke of the kingdom, Duke Shinsung. “It’s Russell Raymond.”

With that, the camouflage magic on the ring disappears, and Russell’s eyes and hair regain their original color.

“God, castle… … ball?”

Let’s take a moment to talk about a title that seems like we’ve heard it somewhere before.

He soon checked the color of the hair and eyes and gave a military courtesy with a pale expression.

Quickly!

“Wow, the pride of the kingdom! “See you, His Excellency Shinsung!”

A military ceremony so loud that it resonates everywhere.

Feeling all the attention around him, Russell waved his hands with a tired expression.

“I don’t like excessive military rituals, so let’s stop. Rather… … .”

I asked the most important question to ask in this situation.

“I wish you could explain a little why this situation has unfolded.”

.

.

The only duke in the entire kingdom and the regent’s fiancé.

In fact, he is the person who has been appointed to the position of Vice Minister and is also the greatest genius that Endymion has produced.

It could be said that Russell was someone who created a stir wherever he went.

Is it because of that?

The rumor that Russell had appeared on the border wall soon spread quickly.

For that reason, the position of the person explaining the situation in front of Russell was also different.

“So, after the war for succession to the imperial throne, the 5th prince… … .”

Russell, who was summarizing the situation, corrected his choice of words.

“Are you saying that the newly crowned emperor not only officially acknowledged the existence of the Black Tower, but also immediately began attacking the Naze Alliance and Kiel?”

“yes. “I don’t know where they gathered so many corpses, but they say they mobilized a large army of undead to raid both countries at the same time.”

The middle-aged man who was following Russell’s theorem nodded and added.

A group of knights were following the man, and his true identity was the margrave in charge of the nearby border, and his attitude toward Russell was extremely polite.

It has to be that way.

The Margrave is said to be no different from a king in the border area he rules, but compared to Russell, he is no different from a firefly in front of the sun.

‘I thought there was a high-ranking member of the empire behind the cultists, but I never thought it was the 5th prince.’

Russell bit his lower lip at the presence of darkness that had penetrated deeper into the empire than imagined.

It doesn’t matter how the empire, which can be said to be the kingdom’s long-time enemy, is destroyed.

However, if it becomes a mess at the hands of cultists, the problem is different.

‘They worship corpses, blood, and death.’

The story goes that any problem they are involved in will inevitably be followed by the problems of those three.

In fact, isn’t it said that a large army of undead is still attacking the Kiel and Naze alliances?

‘It just so happens that the country that was attacked was the Kiyel and Naze Federation.’

Russell twitched the bridge of his nose.

Although Britannia is an empire, it does not have a single friendly country due to its unique, hegemonic tendencies.

In comparison, Endymion is a country with many strong allies.

Among those friendly countries, the Kyel and Naze confederations were quite special.

‘Among the existing neutral countries, it was the first to sign an agreement with Endymion.’

In other words, although they were never on the same side as the Empire, they may still have felt like they were turning their backs on them.

‘In this situation, can it really be said that it was a coincidence that those two countries were attacked first?’

Perhaps this was a warning to countries that still remain neutral.

A warning not to carelessly reveal this to oneself.

Of course, Endymion was not the one who would just listen to the warning.

“How is your country coping with the situation?”

“Even so, reinforcements have been dispatched to help both countries.”

“Reinforcements?”

“yes. “Currently, the Lord of the Tower is leading the magic flyers and soldiers in the Naze Alliance, and similarly, War Hammer and Lord Areks are in Kiel.”

Areks Cailen.

Nicknamed War Hammer, he was one of the superhuman forces in charge of Endymion’s region.

As the name suggests, he is a superhuman who freely wields a huge hammer.

It is said that the hammer he wields is enough to shake the earth and split a rock wall with just his body.

In the hierarchy that implicitly exists among superhumans, he was in the middle to lower level, so he wasn’t that high, but he was strong enough to deal with the undead.

The Margrave continued his explanation.

“Also, it is said that Lord Spear Tower and Lord Gillian are organizing additional reinforcements in the royal capital to prepare for any unexpected situation… … “You arrived just in time.”

I changed my words as I caught a glimpse of the towering ivory tower not far away.

“Even if you don’t, we have sent a messenger to the Magic Tower in advance, so you will be able to use the warp gate right away without any pre-heating procedures.”

It could be said that the Margrave paid attention to every detail in advance.

“thank you.”

“Oh, no.”

At Russell’s greeting, he waved his hand with a bewildered expression.

“It is rather an honor for me to have been able to serve His Excellency Shin Seong-gong, the pride of the kingdom, even if only for a moment.”

Looking at his face, which did not seem to be flattering, but showed his sincerity, it was clear that he was a man with a fairly simple nature.

Putting aside his evaluation, Russell looked at the towering Magic Tower.

More detailed information would be available upon arrival at the royal capital.
