Part 2 Episode 88
summer
Elric stayed in the forest one day longer than planned.
It was because the dragons were so good at eating gems.
So many jewels… Everything had been cleaned very thoroughly.
“… “I didn’t know you would eat it all.”
I thought I was eating well from the beginning, but I never thought it would be like this.
Even everything that had fallen on the floor had been cleaned up.
Fortunately, I stored a considerable amount of gems in the magic warehouse for later use.
Considering how much the dragons ate in two days, it was an absurd amount.
‘If we continue like this, we won’t really go bankrupt, will we?’
It wasn’t just an ordinary gem, it was a gem worth the price of a castle.
Kiyuyu!
Wow!
Of course, the baby dragons were roaring happily with a very satisfied face.
When I looked at my bulging stomach, I couldn’t help but laugh.
‘It looks like it’s more than doubled in size.’
It already seemed like it would be difficult to carry all three in the robe anymore.
‘I should come often whenever I have time.’
Elric thought so as he left the forest.
* * *
As I returned to the village and prepared to leave, the villagers approached me one by one.
“thank you.”
“Thank you sincerely.”
They repeatedly expressed their gratitude to Elric and the group.
A lot has changed thanks to them.
It was then that Lucas approached.
“Are you leaving?”
“yes. “I have to go.”
Lucas made a bitter expression at Elric’s words.
Thanks to him catching the wolf, there was no longer a need to offer sacrifices, and the village began to come to life.
Thanks to this, I started farming again and no longer had to live the same life as before.
The entire village was indebted to Elric.
However, they felt sorry because they had done nothing compared to what they had received from him.
“The situation in the village is still poor, so we can’t treat them properly… .”
“It’s no big deal, okay. “If you’re really sorry, please welcome me kindly the next time I visit.”
Elric glanced back at the men who had tried to sacrifice themselves.
flinch!
The men who felt his gaze trembled and avoided his eyes.
Of course, Elric was not one to sit still.
[I’m saying this out of anger, but if something similar happens, I really won’t let it happen.]
Huh!
In an instant, the men’s faces became contemplative.
Is it because it reminds me of the image of me trying to break my hand before?
They never listened to Elric’s warning in vain.
Nod!
It was just funny to see him nodding his head as if he understood.
『… Even if it was filmed, it ended up being filmed by Mervinger. These guys have a gray, gloomy future.』
Mephisto said that and shook his head.
* * *
Elric and his party headed straight to the Hukran volcanic area located to the south.
It wasn’t long before a huge mountain range appeared, with not a single blade of grass growing due to the extreme heat.
A red mountain range filled with active volcanoes that are still spewing smoke from their craters.
‘surely… A place like this deserves a ‘summer’ legacy.’
It occurred to me that there was no better place to hang out with her.
“Now you’ll have to be careful from here on out. “It is an imperial territory, but it is also a borderland like the Far East.”
Elric looked out of the carriage and warned his companions.
Kugoogung!
At that moment, a volcano not far away was seen trembling violently.
An earthquake so large that the carriage shook.
Fortunately, it did not lead to an explosion, but the fear of not knowing when it might explode gave them tension.
“But the biggest problem is.”
Elric’s eyes sank deeply.
“You never know when the Inspection Bureau will pounce.”
It was well known that the Inspection Bureau dug up Summer’s grave first due to the Battle of Ghost Castle.
There was no way they would be satisfied with just one airship.
It was clear that they would somehow study everything there and make it their own.
In particular, summer is known to be the strongest of the four seasons.

As this is a place where there is a lot to gain, we will not be negligent in our vigilance to avoid losing anything.
‘He must be predicting that I will somehow set out to reclaim the summer legacy.’
There’s no way the Inspection Bureau wouldn’t know about Elric’s movements.
Perhaps surprise was preferred over defense.
‘A golden lion may appear. ‘You have to be careful.’
In a very serious atmosphere.
Tasha asked as she looked around the mountain range.
“But how are you going to find your ancestor’s grave in this large place?”
As she said, the mountain range was so huge that the end could not be seen.
Even if the speed of the carriage was increased, it seemed like it would take several months to check all of this place.
“Oh, that’s okay.”
Elric took out confidential information obtained from the Inspection Bureau from his chest.
“I have this.”
It was material written about his family.
It contained information related to the Summer Tomb, and also included approximate coordinates.
also.
Ugh!
The magic sword hanging around Elric’s neck was also trembling slightly as he was guiding the way.
Even if you don’t know the exact location, it wasn’t that difficult to find the tomb if you had the coordinates and the magic spell.
That was when Tasha nodded that she understood.
An unexpected problem arose.
“Elric, I don’t think we can go in here.”
The driver said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
Not far away. Lava was seen flowing along the surface.
Until now, sulfur gas and heat had somehow been able to be defeated with magic, but lava was on a completely different level.
The same goes for turning the carriage somewhere else.
There were many areas that were impossible to access by carriage.
In the end, Elric had to make a decision.
“That won’t work. You two, please wait here. “I think I’ll have to move on my own from here on out.”
“… alone?”
“Wouldn’t it be dangerous?”
Sean and Tasha looked surprised.
But Elric was adamant.
In fact, they were just trying not to show it on the outside, but the two were already in dire straits.
The environment was so harsh that even Tasha, a fire-type wizard, had a hard time.
Even if I forcefully dragged her in that state, it would only be a hindrance.
‘I have something else to ask of you.’
In the end, Elric expressed these thoughts to the two people.
“okay. If you are, then so be it. Have a safe trip.”
“Have a safe trip.”
Elric left some instructions for the two people and left the carriage with the baby dragons.
Kiyuyu!
Fortunately, the volcanic environment didn’t seem to be too bad for them.
The baby dragons’ eyes sparkled as they wondered what adventure they would enjoy this time.
“Shall we go?”
Elric walked away with a faint smile.
Paaaat!
* * *
The deeper you go into the mountains.
Kurrrrr-
I could see lava pouring down continuously.
“It’s even funnier to see it in real life, something I’ve only read about in books.”
Elric clicked his tongue as he flew through the sky using flight magic.
It is difficult to secure visibility due to the volcanic ash coming out of the crater.
I felt like I could understand why the empire had been abandoning this large area for so long.
No matter how much magic was poured, it seemed like it would be difficult to cover this large area.
The power of Mother Nature that seems impossible to overcome with human hands.
Elric could feel himself daunted by the majesty he had experienced for the first time in a long time.
Ugh!
However, the good news is that as I moved along the direction indicated by the Demon Doggyeongsik, I was able to feel the scent of summer at some point.
‘We’re almost there.’
Elric came to his senses.
I didn’t know that there might be knights from the Inspection Bureau or the Sajagong family hiding somewhere around here.
just as expected.
It’s scary to think like that.
‘ambush… !’
Pew pew pew pew!
Numerous arrows flew from below, aiming precisely at Elric.
They are all iron shi (鐵矢) filled with magical power.
『You were using stealth magic. It’s magic so high-level that it deceives the mind’s eye. Is it pretty?』
They targeted him with siege weapons that were only used when attacking impregnable fortresses.
‘You crazy people!’
Elric urgently stretched out his hand into the air.
There was no time to pay attention to Mephisto’s laughter.
“【Swing】, and 【Swinging】 again!”
Whihwihwihwi… !
A fierce snowstorm blew between the Elrics and the arrows.
Cha cha cha chang!
While all the arrows that were flying with fierce force were swept away and disappeared.
Elric turned his head in the direction the arrow came from.
A significant number of troops were aiming their bows in this direction.
The problem is that the spirit that each archer possesses is unusual.
Just as a blade is covered with mana to create sword energy, the arrows were covered with mana to increase their strength and power several times more.
There was only one place where archers of that level of skill could be mobilized.
‘Sajagongga… !’
Moreover, at the rear of the archer corps, someone was giving off an unusual spirit.
‘Who is it?’
Just by looking at the momentum, it was clear that it was a ‘lion’.
Eight lions, like blue lions or company lions.
The problem was that the distance was quite long and it was difficult to identify the person because of the black smoke surrounding it.
As if it wasn’t too hot, he was fully armed with iron armor and had his helmet pressed down deeply.
‘It won’t be easy.’
The problem wasn’t just that.
Kiyuyu!
The baby dragons circled around Elric as if warning him.
Just as Elric sensed it, they also sensed several legions quickly rushing towards this side along the ridge.
Even those who were presumed to be lions seemed to be the only ones.
“… “You were very determined.”
Elric’s frown hardened.
It seemed as if Sajagongga had brought in almost all of its main forces in order to secure itself.
Cheonnajimang (天羅地網).
If they all came forward, it seemed like not even Elric would be safe.
Furthermore.
‘The direction pointed by the magic sword… It is the center of Cheonnajimang.’
By deploying a large amount of power around the Tomb of Summer, Elric had no choice but to walk into the trap on his own.
『You put a lot of thought into it. What more do you plan to do here?』
“What should I do…” .”
Phew!
Elric let out a long breath, trailing off his words.
“I said I wanted to see it so much, but of course we have to provide some fan service, right?”
Paaaaat!
As the possession was activated, a pair of wings formed behind his back.
Damir’s wings.
And with an ice spear held in one hand.
I love you so much-
Like a hawk falling vertically to snatch its prey.
Elric attempted a dive.
