Episode 154
Dragon’s Ark (4)
On the back of a dragon soaring powerfully across the sky.
Cassandra was flying in Ray’s arms when she suddenly stumbled as if shocked.
“Cassandra, are you okay?”
Ray was startled and forcibly supported Cassandra.
A very dangerous sight, almost thrown out of the lamp.
“Oh, thank you. I think there was a temporary penalty applied.”
Wizards are beings who perform miracles.
However, the law of equivalent exchange was thoroughly applied as the basis.
As Cassandra, who uses future technology, there was little in return that she could offer, and as a result, the law of causality was applied, causing a strong shock to the personality of the Dark Empress.
Perhaps, but it will no longer be possible to perform magic using the ritual of the ‘Magic Empress’.
Even if I go back to the future where I was.
It may be that the prophet’s powers are completely shut off.
But she had no complaints.
‘I don’t mind if I can never use my powers again. If only I could put some restrictions on
Compared to the
But she wanted to show.
Even a cornered rat can bite a cat.
‘And if I can be of any help to Theo-sama when he defeats the
The inability to see the future with a prophet’s power usually fell into one of two categories.
There is no determined future.
Or, it could be drawn from a distance along the axis of time, creating an infinite future.
Cassandra thought Theo would be the latter.
However, even if you lead the Dragon’s Ark using the
He needed an extra helping hand.
“Selford, I have somewhere to go.”
Cassandra’s gaze turned to Shelford.
Shelford had a strong feeling that she was looking down at the world with her eyes closed.
“where?”
I didn’t say I couldn’t go back because I had to treat Arin.
Because he was also a member of the Baek Gap-yong Unit, whose mission was a top priority.
“It’s Jangwon. It’s the place we first went to, thinking it was a mausoleum.”
manor?
Shelford nodded, remembering that Denglong and Leje were still there at that moment.
Then he pulled the reins sideways.
Keeeeek!
The dragon began to change course, flapping its wings vigorously.

『You’re doing something funny. It must have been a long time ago for you, but to me, it feels like yesterday… … It’s just like the heat I had a few days ago.』
Two eyes curved back beyond the hazy black fog.
“Then should I play along with it then?”
The black fog swirled around and then gathered together, pouring out a large number of monsters of various shapes.
‘It’s definitely weaker than what I saw in Mahae.’
Theo was confident of victory.
Since they were resurrected by the imperfect magic of the Dark Empress, the Dragon Tooth Corps was certainly no match for its prime.
But that was nothing compared to the penalty that the
How great would the size of the god be if a mere bishop sacrificed himself and summoned him?
In reality, the delusional god that Theo was facing now was too weak in presence compared to the
Perhaps it’s a cross-section of the main body, or perhaps a kind of clone.
But that was enough.
Because the binding that Theo tried to put on the guy with the help of the Dark Empress was a mental attack.
‘So you can do it.’
Theo was determined not to miss this moment where the guy was being arrogant.
-Theo, you wanted to learn magic, right?
The Empress of Magic had delegated to Theo the ‘authority’ to touch her psychic realm.
So I could operate all the chronographs in this world.
-Then, try to trace the system while touching
Theo closed his eyes for a moment, just as the Empress had taught him.
[‘Skill: Hatchling Synchro’ is activated and attempts to connect to the corresponding world.]
[I have confirmed that I have been delegated authority from the founder. You can now wind the mainspring.]
Just as I had touched the rising current of magical energy that supported the floating archipelago, this time it felt like my fingertips were touching the springs of a clock.
At the same time, the thoughts that the Empress of Magic had left behind everywhere poured into my head like a tidal wave.
The various incidents, misfortunes, despair, and frustrations that Cassandra experienced before she became the Empress of the Dark World.
However, somehow, the magic system that was created while barely holding on each day was clearly revealed.
It was like a huge tree.
A tree that has grown so large that it reaches the sky without end.

The roots contained the magical knowledge and the treatises that the Empress had read, the stem contained the necessary systems, and the leaves contained the unique magics that were created through them.
It seemed that the Empress Dowager wanted to show him this tree.
Although his understanding was limited and he could not bring all of this, it alone allowed Theo to reach new heights of magic.
at the same time,
Tick tock tock tock!
A chronograph appeared under the feet of the pouring monsters.
Theo also caught the windup in his fingertips.
He turned it to the left without delay.
Then the monsters disappeared like goblins.
“Oh, you’re showing off some interesting tricks?”
Once again the legions of monsters poured in.
But it soon disappeared along with the chronograph.
『Hahahaha! This is hilarious! This is so hilarious! Someone who has deviated from the axis of time and space is actually manipulating time! Is this also one of the contradictions brought about by the distorted time and space?』
-What the hell are you talking about right now!
-Can’t we see it?
-I guess we need to give them some real education so they can recall the trauma again!
While the
The aura flashed.
As large and small wounds appeared in the black fog, black blood poured out like a waterfall.
Some of the inspectors threw high the spears they had on their backs.
A hole was ripped open where the guy’s head was supposed to be, along with the shockwave, and several lightning bolts struck down from the sky.
Kwakwakwakwa-
Kkurung, kkurung, kkurung!
Kwakwakwakwang!
To maximize the damage, the chronograph applied to the
and,
“My companion. You’ve done such cute things. “
In Theo’s head, Lordbroke was looking down on the world with great interest.
As I looked back at the old selector’s subordinates, old memories came flooding back.
‘Welcome, Roddy.’
“Haha. What are you trying to do with me again?”
‘Do you need any more heart material?’
“hmm?”
‘I think that if the level of evil thoughts that the mangshin harbors is sufficient, it will become enough energy when purified.’
“What? Hahahaha!”
Roadbroke was absurd.
Even if he is a clone, I never thought he would recommend eating the
『Hey! You shouldn’t eat spoiled food carelessly!』
‘But isn’t it true that it’s tempting? Is it difficult?’
Lordbroke realized that Theo’s words were sincere.
The voice became serious.
“That’s the enemy that opposes our guardians. It’s not very effective.”
‘You’re saying it’s not impossible. Okay. I’ll give it a try.’
『Okay. Let’s try it. If it goes your way… … I might be able to get rid of this boring cave life to some extent.』
Lordbroke muttered something under his breath as he attempted to manifest.
[The spirit of Lordbroke descends!]
As with the
A flash of light appeared in the sky, and a huge dragon appeared, crushing the
Krrrrrrrr!
The ancient dragon roared.
-That’s… … !
-Isn’t that our guardian dragon!
-Hahaha! We’ve only met Lord Roadbroke in person twice, so it’s amazing that we get to see him again like this!
The morale of the Dragon Warriors was high.
Theo jumped down from Umbra, clutching Drake’s blade tightly.
At the same time, spirituality is present in the eyes.
The core was visible, nestled within the body of the
‘Over there-‘
Theo straightened Drake’s blade and charged it with all his might.
Thump thump thump thump!
With each violent pump of his heart, the white light surrounding Theo grew darker, resembling a large sun.
‘-stab!’
And when that sun split in half.
Squeak!
A lightning strike, a dragon island, and a trail of light more intense than ever before struck
Kwaaaaang!
As the dark fog broke apart, it scattered in all directions, and more than half of Drake’s blades were embedded in the core hidden beneath it.
The nucleus was the guy’s eye.
Gulp!
The sight of the huge pupils looking down, oozing black blood, was grotesque and eerie.
“Are you just going to destroy my core and end it? That’s not it, is it?”
The look of anticipation that there will be something more fun the more you have fun with it.
Theo’s eyes, revealed under his helmet, also smiled.
“Of course not.”
Crackle crackle crackle crackle crackle-
At that moment, a chronograph appeared where the sword was stuck.
“I’m going to ‘lock’ your time, shame on you.”
“My time, locked up?”
“Yes. If you can ‘pause’ your mind, it will also affect your main body. A stopped mind… … I bet the believers will like it very much?”
“Even if you say that you can stop the time with that, it’s only for a moment?”
“Of course. But.”
The corners of her lips twisted.
“Your moment is a very long time for us? It’s enough time for us to become strong enough to defeat you.”
“You’re trying to buy time. That’s a very good idea.”
“Let’s see if you can smile when you come back.”
“you.”
Theo pushed his sword deeper until the hilt touched the blade.
Phew!
“You seem so funny every time we meet. Lordbroke, I bet your last years won’t be boring. I’m really jealous of that.”
At the same time, the chronograph hand spun around like crazy and stopped at exactly 12 o’clock.
『I wonder how much fun it will be when we meet again. The fun joy I found in this boring shackle… … .』
and,
Kkwadduk!
Lordbroke ripped the guy’s core out and swallowed it whole.
With a light snort.
『Well, I think that when you meet your partner again, you will be sad, not smiling.』
At that moment, the world of the wind-up collapsed.
* * *
“What have I been doing… all this time…?”
The stopped springs began to fall off one by one.
Kookung! Kung!
The mainspring hit the ground and shattered into pieces, and the crack that had spread through the sky now covered the clock face on the ground.
Odd watched the scene in vain.
It wouldn’t have been strange if he had died at any moment, as he had already suffered excessive bleeding and had his heart pierced by the Wolbaek Sword and Yongsal Sword.
But the reason she is still alive is probably because of the high level of skill she achieved during her lifetime.
No, maybe.
It could be that she didn’t want to miss out on the sight she was looking at now, since it was something she had always wanted to see since she was a child.
-Grandpa, grandpa!
-Oh my, my kid. So what did you want to do to come see this old man?
-Tell me that story! That story! The one where the captain went Kwaaaaang! and Kukukuku!
-Huh? Oh! Are you talking about the legend that is located in this tomb?
-Yes! I want to hear it again.
-Hehehe. Inseok. I already told you twice today.
-Still, it’s still fun to listen to!
While other children were busy fighting with swords or playing with dolls, the thing that Odd enjoyed the most was listening to the legend of the Gravekeeper.
Because there was nothing more exciting and fun than the story of our ancestors fighting against the Demon King who was trying to destroy the world.
So, even when she became the gravedigger after her deceased grandfather, and even when she became the successor to Heukbingmanokwol, she always hoped to become a legendary suicide squad member.
And yet, right there, the legendary suicide squad was alive and breathing.
A sight I’ve always hoped for, even in my dreams.
but,
There was no place for him there.
Instead, there’s just Theo.
“… … .”
Odd slowly lowered his head.
Yes. There was someone else who was supposed to be there from the beginning.
He just wanted a position that he shouldn’t have been in.
-We all know how hard you’ve been working.
At that moment, suddenly, there was a hand stroking Odd’s head.
Odd slowly raised his head.
She could see the inspector looking down at her, his helmet pulled down low through his hair soaked with tears and blood.
-Even when you were born. When you first started walking. That your first word was “grandpa.” That you had your first beautiful love at the age of fifteen. We were all watching.
The inspector’s face somehow resembled my grandfather’s.
-You too. Your grandfather too. Your grandfather’s grandfather too… … We were all watching.
It seemed like the hardships, efforts, and hopes of the past were not in vain.
A tear ran down Odd’s eye.
-You and your ancestors are also proud swordsmen of the Yong-Ah Corps, no different from us. I want to tell you that your sacrifices were never in vain. I have never been bored and have had a lot of fun with you.
Each and every warm, heartfelt word sank into Odd’s heart.
And when the head slowly fell.
There was a faint smile on her lips.
