Episode 216
Dragon Army Corps
“Do you think you can handle me like this? [Sweeping wind]!”
Count Calliger used the magic he had memorized as if he would never forgive the traitors.
His eyes were red with worry for his son.
“Magic tools! Pick up the magic tool!”
“【Magic Cancellation】!”
“【Cancel】! 【Cancel】!”
“【Power of Resistance】!”
The retainers, who knew that Count Calliger was an excellent magician, hastily took out the magic tools they had prepared in advance and tried to somehow cancel the activation of the magic.
“【Rain of light】!”
The moment Count Calliger tilted the small staff he pulled out from the hem of his robe and activated a new spell, it all had to be thrown away.
This was because yellow lightning rained down like a whip from the crystal ball attached to the end of the mini staff and struck them all at once.
It is known that Noegi has the most intense and destructive power among all the elements that exist between heaven and earth.
Moreover, because it was a type of ‘light’, its speed was so fast that we couldn’t even think of tracking it with the naked eye.
Because of that, the magical tools held by the retainers were completely destroyed by the brain power before they could cast their magic.
Some had to fall down with their entire horses cut in half along with the horses they were riding.
Crumble, rumble!
Rumble-
The burnt smell vibrated everywhere. There were deep craters all over the ground due to the impact of the lightning strike.
The lights were so strong that they thought they were blinding, so the horses started to squirm in fright, but their cries were not even heard because they were covered by the thunder.
“Kill Count Calliger…” !”
However, there was something else that made the vassals more impatient.
Brain power never ends in one shot.
The embers that jump out can connect with each other again, forming a new lightning network, or a new stem of lightning, weaker than the first but still powerful, can protrude.
The problem was that Count Calliger knew the nature of such brain power better than anyone else.
Count Calliger was originally a very suspicious and cautious person in everything he did.
No matter how much he trusted and cared for his vassals, it was not enough to expose his trump card.
“Pay for your sin of mocking me with death!”
Kwakwakwakwa!
As I pulled the mini staff inward, the yellow embers remaining on the floor rose high into the air again.
And in the meantime, a brain network was formed.
Even the vassals who were still alive were trapped inside and were torn apart.
Even if they deployed defensive magic or built a barrier, they could not handle the continuous rain of brain energy.
“Ship, Count!”
“Why us… !”
Although there were some vassals in it who did not betray.
“I feel sorry for you guys.”
Count Calliger simply responded with a venomous look in his eyes.
The power I was using just now was not something that could be used dexterously to distinguish between friends and enemies.
If I had known this would happen, I would have stood on the other side too. They all died with faces filled with bitterness.
and.
Kurrrrrr… !
Eventually, after all brain energy subsides.
The only one standing completely still was Count Calliger.
The entire surrounding area was devastated and only black soot remained here and there. A thick cloud of dust spread.
“Rodeo! “Try to come to your senses, rodeo!”
Count Calliger quickly ran to his son.
However, no matter how hard I tried to shake him to wake him up, my son, who had already stopped breathing for a long time, just kept his eyes wide open as if he was upset.
Count Calliger gritted his teeth and closed Rodeo’s eyes.
Although he always acted thoughtlessly and like a fool, he was a child who inherited his own blood.
The child’s death… It was painful even for Count Calliger, who had a heart as cold as a snake.
“Your revenge… This father will do something. Elric Mervinger will soon be sent as your companion, so she may wait a moment.”
Count Calliger thought that Elric was the culprit of this whole situation.
Also, my son died. The family fell. It all started when Rodeo met Elric in the north.
Even if we never met in the first place.
No, even if Elric had remained Mervinger’s disgrace until now, Count Franz’s family would still have been on the rise, and Rodeo would have solidified his position as his successor.
So all of this was Elric’s fault.
Because he tried to somehow resurrect Mervinger, who was a legacy from the past, his son and family were harmed.
That’s why his vassals made such foolish choices.
So, while pondering my anger, I will punish you someday.
Paaaa!
Count Calliger imbued Rodeo’s body with magical energy.
Grumbling. The body was engulfed in flames.
I was upset that I couldn’t have a proper funeral, but it was still a hundred times better than being caught by Mervinger and the gang and being humiliated.
And then he slowly got up from his seat.
His eyes, which had been full of sadness, became serious again.
‘It was noisy, but it was too noisy. The star sect must have found this way too. We must hurry.’

It’s a pity that my son died, but I have to bury him in my heart. All he could think about was that even though he was alive now, he had to somehow get out of here.
Only then will he be able to avenge his son and rebuild his family. three eggs. With that alone, he was confident that he would somehow be resurrected.
Since ancient times, the dragon has been in the spotlight as a sacred animal symbolizing the majesty of the imperial family.
If you give one to the emperor and the other to the 4th prince, they will become your strong supporters.
Then, all he had to do was hatch the remaining egg and use it as a stepping stone for his comeback.
‘no. If the 4th prince doesn’t take my side, I could just switch to the prince’s side.’
What is the weakness of the 4th prince? That was no longer something to consider. Now that I have nothing to lose, what does it matter?
and.
Fortunately, Count Calliger still had a way to get out of this place.
‘Teleport scroll… . I can’t help it, but at least I have to write this here.’
Everyone was reluctant to use long-distance space transfer magic without a gate with fixed coordinates.
In the material world, coordinates change rapidly from time to time, so it took a lot of effort to calculate them one by one into a formula.
Even that often became unnecessary because the coordinates changed again after the calculation was completed.
Moreover, the amount of magical power consumed was enormous, and the number of people who could move was limited to one or two people.
Fortunately, Count Calliger had a magic tool that could resolve such obstacles.
Although it was only disposable, it was a scroll that would safely transport him and Rodeo to the Empire.
In other words, Count Calliger had no intention of joining the vassals in the first place.
However, I still planned to run away like Rodeo after securing a safe zone for magic activation.
‘There’s nothing I can do about it now.’
He could only hope that the scroll would activate earlier than he expected.
‘Before that, I should put this away first.’
For spatial transfer, the weight had to be made as light as possible.
Count Calliger held up a box containing dragon eggs.
It weighed a lot, but luckily he had a way to store it.
Magic Treasury, Interresia.
Since Interresia is a warehouse set in subspace, there were no restrictions when activating space transfer magic.
‘It’s been a while since I opened it.’
Whoa!
When magic power was injected into the ring, the jewel at the end glowed brilliantly.
‘Magic Light, I needed it to be able to somehow open the last room. I can’t seem to accomplish what I thought I would be able to accomplish this time.’
At that time, I thought I had to make plans for the next time.
Damn it!
The space in front of Count Calliger began to split.
Subspace is about to open.
That moment.
Caw! Caw!
I heard a crow croaking somewhere.
‘You’re crying too loudly. ‘Unlucky.’
While thinking like that, I tried to put my hand into subspace.
‘… Crow?’
In a split second, anxiety suddenly passed through my mind.
Now that I think about it, there was something like that during the background investigation on Elric.
The story states that the Beast King Gility Lens, a former member of the Free Revolutionary Army, became Elric’s teacher.
At the time, I just ignored it, coming to the complacent conclusion that why would the Beast King, who was once infamous even in the Empire, pay attention to Mervinger’s shame?
What if that’s true?
Grumble!
As soon as Count Calliger’s thoughts reached that point, he immediately created a fireball from his fingertips and tried to throw it towards the crow.
However, the crow’s response was one step faster than that.
Nettle liquid-
The crow suddenly turned into a black arrow and cut off Count Calliger’s finger.
Squeak!
“Aaaah! dare… !”
Quaaaang!
Count Calliger screamed in terrible pain and set off a fireball to catch the crow, but the crow had already risen high in the sky, biting the finger that the ring was on.
Caw! Caw!
The door to Interresia that was about to open closed again. A crow screamed in the sky as if celebrating victory.
“My ring! “Can’t you give it to me?”
Even as Count Calliger burst into anger, he hastily took out a mini staff from his pocket.
It would have been a really big deal if the ring had been taken away like this.
The reason he was confident about his comeback was because not only the dragon’s egg but also the existence of Interresia played a large part.
That place contained almost all of Mervinger’s legacy.
If that was taken away, something really big could have happened.
It would be like giving wings to Mervinger, who was like a lion that had already started running!
Squeeze!
Crumbling-
A large amount of condensed brain energy was released.
Unlike when the vassals were swept away in one go, the brain energy that had been divided into several branches was merged into one stream. It was to kill the crow quickly.
If I did that, there was a risk that the ring would get damaged, but I was so impatient right now that I didn’t have time to worry about that at all.
However, contrary to Count Calliger’s intentions, the thunderbolt that threatened to tear the world apart could not even reach the crow.
Paralarak!
Suddenly, the crow twisted its body wildly in the air. Then, the black energy unraveled like a skein of thread, and for an instant it turned golden.
Elric appeared from within.
With her blonde hair flowing and her white robe fluttering.
He smiled coldly and activated a magic spell, no, a new magic that has now become a mantra.
“【Scatter away】.”
Kwakwakwakwa!
Pure white snow whirled, tearing the brain energy into pieces and scattering it in all directions.
The shattered brain flag fell into the already messed up surroundings, raising a dust cloud bigger than before, but it was soon swept away by the strong wind blowing from the snow and it sank.
“Elic Mervingeroooo!”
Count Calliger realized that Elric had been mocking him and screamed.
Even though Elric knew that he held the key to Interresia, he had been waiting quietly. To confirm exactly what the key to Interresia is and how to use it.
It seems that letting the dragon’s egg be secretly taken was all bait for this purpose.
As Count Calliger, he could not help but be enraged at the fact that he had been nothing more than a fool who had played along without knowing anything in the game Elric had planned.
Either that or not.
“It’s so noisy it’s killing me. “Hey man, you got caught stealing, but aren’t you being too proud?”
Elric laughed loudly and took the ring off his severed finger and put it on his own hand.
Slam!
It seems like it has finally found its place.
It looks like it’s fortunate that it found its original owner. As the ring decreased in size, it wrapped very gently around Elric’s finger.
and.
Paaaa!
Whoa!
The magic sword and ring hanging around his neck simultaneously shone bright light.
Wizard who swallowed talent
