Episode 865.
Whoosh!
Raon wrapped the winds of Garunua around the tip of the Black Dragon Cannon. He flew towards the Black Dragon as if he were the embodiment of the wind.
[How dare you!]
The Black Dragon, true to form, quickly erased his panic and summoned ten black, glowing spears.
Like the pillars of a kazoo, the giant black spears burst into light.
-His spears are unrivalled.
Rath frowned as he watched the black spears fall like thunderbolts.
-They are laced with a poison that will melt your lifeblood at the mere touch of it, and you will die if you are buried by its size.
He lowered his voice, saying it was dangerous to strike with a sword.
“Then we must burn it.
Raon did not back down at Rath’s explanation. Instead, he quickened his pace, sending flames from his divine sword towards the poisonous spear.
Cartoon Ball Heavenly Flower.
Fire Dragon Crystal.
The young flame on the hilt of the divine sword split like the edge of a canyon, then rose in the form of a dragon.
The heat of the cartoon ball, whose power had risen to transcendence, engulfed the black spear.
Kuwaaaaaaah!
The high-level poison magic, the poisonous spear, fell prey to the fire dragon before it had a chance to unleash its poisonous energy.
‘That should do it.
Raon grinned as he watched the poisonous qi melt away in the flames of the cartoon ball.
“I think we can take on that dragon.
Glenn and Rath slashed with the mighty blows of the Transcendents’ minds, while Ally mysteriously froze.
At the time, I didn’t understand how that was possible, but now I do. It was a skill only the Transcendents could harness from nature’s mana.
[….]
The Black Dragon let out a small groan. Its pupils trembled, as if it hadn’t expected that even high-level magic could be so easily destroyed.
Qi Yi Ying!
Laon leapt up from the ground and stood on the same level as the Black Dragon. He pointed his magic sword at it and activated Glacia.
Hwaaaaaaah!
The Frost World Tree burst forth from the blue blade of the magic sword, forming thousands of flowers.
Manga Ball Heavenly Flower.
Fire Spirit.
The heavens were filled with flowers of fire spirits, spreading with Glacia’s cold. It was a magnificent sight, like a constellation of frost flowers.
Woof!
The Black Dragon’s rhombic eyes rolled as it summoned a high-level magic to defend itself. A shroud of poisonous death to keep them at bay, and a shield of lightning to deflect their attacks.
Raon tilted his blade, and shards of the frost that filled the sky rained down on the Black Dragon.
Koo-koo-koo-koo-koo!
The auric waves generated by the Fire Spirit were both fluid and powerful, but the two shields the Black Dragon had created were unbreakable, only frozen white.
[Raon Siegfried, you are even more dangerous than I had heard].
The black dragon roared with rage and began to form a rust-coloured, glowing orb of venom.
It was more poisonous than a poisonous spear, and even at this distance, my head tingled.
“Now is not the time to prepare for an attack, is it?”
Raon snarled, plunging headlong into the Black Dragon. With a whirlwind of wind, he extended both his divine and magical swords simultaneously.
Raon Sigthardt Ryu Sword Style.
Type 2 Heavy Sacrificial Layers.
A hollow cannon that operates simultaneously on both the divine and demonic swords. A black hole-like attraction drew in the Black Dragon’s massive body.
[What!]
When the Black Dragon panicked and was about to spread its wings, the waves of heat and cold that had been concentrated in the sword pole of the Divine Sword and the Demonic Sword were released.
Kuwaaaaaaah!
The frozen poisonous shield and the shield on the front wheel simultaneously shattered, and blades of flame and frost slashed at the Black Dragon’s wings on both sides.
[Off!]
The Black Dragon was startled by the sudden pain, and the poisonous sphere it was forming was blown away in vain.
“I’m not done yet.”
Raon didn’t miss a beat, drawing a diagonal path of swords, divine sword up, magic sword down.
Kaleidoscopic flame. A wave of flame and frost rose into the air, enveloping the Black Dragon’s entire body.
[Ji, defend!]
The Black Dragon didn’t even have time to cast a defensive spell before it spat out an urgent word. The surrounding mana gathered around him, forming five shields.
Digging, digging, digging!
Though not poisonous, the shields were unbreakable against the blades of fire and frost. It seemed to be an excellent defence for a dragon spell.
“Let’s see how long it lasts.”
Raon gritted his teeth. With every muscle and auror in his body at full strength, he slammed down on the Black Dragon’s shield.
Kuwaaaaaaah!
His body, auras, and the full force of his sword shattered the mana shield that the Black Dragon had summoned with his words.
[Mana, block!]
The Black Dragon raised a new shield of mana to prevent its throat from being cut, but the force of Raon’s blow sent it crashing to the ground with its wings twisted.
[Shield! Shield!]
The Black Dragon continued to regenerate its shield, trying to hold on, but it was no match for Raon’s power, which was beyond human limits.
[Ccchhhhhh!]
He finally fell into the western boreal forest with only a thin shield around him.
Kuwaaaaaaah!
As the giant dragon fell, the earth’s axis twisted, the entire boreal forest shook, and a brown cloud of dust rose into the sky.
-Ignorant Bastard….
Rath frowned in disbelief.
-Can’t you be a little classy!
‘A lizard like that deserves to be beaten ignorantly.
Raon clicked his tongue briefly and walked over to where the Black Dragon had fallen.
‘He’s not worth saving.
Without warning, the Black Dragon unleashed a stream of venomous breath at Seifia.
It meant to kill every human and elf in this place, and there was no reason to spare her.
-I see you call yourself a lizard now, too.
Rath chuckled in amusement.
-I can’t help it, now that I’ve seen their ugliest form, but be gentle with them. Too much and the flesh gets tough.
He paused, as if still thinking of the dragon tonguri.
‘Now we have to end this… Mmm!
As Raon approached the spot where the black dragon had fallen, black pellets popped out of the brown dirt. They were small, but venomous enough to make his fingers ache.
“Funny.”
Raon sneered, raising a wall of prayer beads. A shield of flame blazed forth, incinerating the incoming poison pellets.
“A lizard that has lived for thousands of years would not have fallen so easily.”
Raon nodded and lowered his hand, and a gust of blue wind blew in, blowing away the swirls of dust.
[Cough].
The Black Dragon was scorched, frostbitten, its wings broken, and bleeding from its mouth.
It seemed to be wounded, unable to absorb the full force of the blow, even with the use of dragon tongue magic.
[Raon Sieghardt. I hadn’t heard that you were this bad….]
The Black Dragon twitched its huge snout as if it was genuinely puzzled.
“I’m glad you know now. Of course….”
Raon stomped on the ground, his divine sword and magic sword upright.
“Though it is much too late.”
His mouth gaped open as he stepped forward to cut the Black Dragon’s throat in one swipe.
[Suppress!]
The Black Dragon used the Dragon Language to chant an unknown magic.
It was unusual for a dragon race to be able to create magic by simply chanting simple words.
“Is there something else?
Raon stopped walking, sensing something ominous. As he crouched down to survey the situation, a blue aura emanated from near the Black Dragon’s hood.
It was as thin as a thread, but unlike before, it didn’t feel alive at all.
Aaaahhhh!
Raon slashed his holy sword at the blue aura that was coming towards him, but the Black Dragon’s magic didn’t burn, instead rushing in faster and faster.
“What is this?
Seeing that it didn’t burn, it didn’t seem to be physical magic.
I made a quick judgement and stepped on Taihua Sambo to retreat back.
-I don’t know, it’s probably mental, seeing as how it can’t be hit by swords.
Rath frowned, having never seen visible spirit magic before.
‘Then we should just dodge and see… Hmm?
Raon continued to try to flee, but the Black Dragon’s magic was faster than he was, and eventually seeped into his shoulder.
‘Huh.
Raon let out a low breath and checked his entire body.
“You don’t seem hurt.
There was no shock at all from being struck by the dragon’s magic, and he felt no change in his body.
“What did you do to me?”
I glared at the Black Dragon as I sheathed my divine and magical swords.
[Kkhkhkhkh….]
The Black Dragon smirked, black blood dripping from the corner of its mouth. He was so large that his laughter alone echoed through the forest.
[This is the end of you].
“What? What’s that….”
[Twist!]
Raon was about to ask a second time when the Black Dragon let out its most powerful word yet.
Purrrrrrrrrr!
Raon’s vision went black as if he’d been hit in the skull with a hammer, then brightened again.
“How the hell did you just say ….”
Raon blurted out, and a black sphere from the Black Dragon flew towards his chest.
“That doesn’t work….”
I swung my divine sword to burn it, but instead of my shoulders and arms, my toes and ankles spun.
Purrrrrrrr!
Raon rolled on the ground, struck by a venomous sphere.
“What, what….”
As he shook his jaw in disbelief, the poisonous blade summoned by the Black Dragon fell onto his shoulder.
I tried to push off the ground with my legs to dodge it, but this time my elbow and wrist spun.
“Kerrrrr!”
Raon was finally hit by one poisonous sphere after another, spitting up red blood onto the blackened ground.
“This is….”
[Do you get it now?]
The Black Dragon drew an elongated sneer.
“My senses….”
Raon glared at the Black Dragon, his brow furrowed.
“You changed them?”
He tries to move his arm, his leg moves, his leg moves, his wrist turns. The sensations throughout his body were bizarrely twisted.
[Correct].
The Black Dragon nods with a dark laugh.
[Humans, especially swordsmen like you, rely heavily on their senses, and suppression is an absolute magic created to deal with those who have touched transcendence.]
He munched with satisfaction, as if his preparation had been worthwhile.
“…I don’t suppose such magic is just possible?”
Raon chewed his lip as he looked at the Black Dragon.
‘Unavoidable spirit realm magic, and it’s also a change of sensation….’
Is this the special ability of the Black Dragon that Zhong Mu Warrior was talking about?
Such an absolute magic couldn’t just be possible. It must have been created with the restrictions of the realm he gained while ascending to transcendence.
[You’re right, this magic can only be used on one person, and you’re not the only one whose senses are altered].
“Not one person? Then….”
[Yes. My senses are warped as well].
The Black Dragon seems to think he’s already won, and gives me a dirty little explanation of power suppression.
-It’s a troublesome spell, the way a lowly black lizard would think.
Rath rolled his brow in annoyance.
“We’ll have to bide our time and see if your senses are altered.
The lizard was right, shamans rely heavily on their senses.
Even as a transcendent, that doesn’t change, so it’s important to identify the changes in their bodies as soon as possible.
“Why did you develop magic to kill people?”
As I spoke to the Black Dragon, I memorised the distorted sensations on its body one by one.
[Because you are no better than cockroaches that feed on this world].
The Black Dragon’s eyes rolled in disgust at humans.
“Did you have something against humans, when all we can see is that you started the fight?”
Raon let out a tired breath and raised his gaze.
[Do you people even care about the ants on your shoes?]
The Black Dragon twisted his mouth as he compared humans to bugs.
[And there’s no point in stalling, because humans can’t be trusted to interfere with the control of our power!]
It unleashed a barrage of venomous weapons as if it knew what it was doing.
“Hm!”
Raon took a step back. He’d already picked up most of its senses as he spoke to the Black Dragon.
“Let’s stay here… huh?
He stomped on the tiles to get out of the poisonous space altogether, but this time the auror didn’t move.
Pfft!
The poisoned spear sliced through his back and thighs as his body stiffened in pain as if his mana circuitry had been severed.
“No way….”
Raon’s blackened lips trembled as he looked at the Black Dragon.
“Mana circuits?”
[Correct].
The Black Dragon nodded with a sneer.
[Your mana circuits have been twisted as well. It will take me days to find the answer.]
He chuckled, as if the answer would be found in extreme pain.
[I will not avenge the foolish Kaivar, but I will kill him as painfully as I can!]
The Black Dragon summoned a series of poisonous weapons, promising to kill him in agony.
Ouch!
The black weapons rained down on Raon, tearing at his flesh.
Kyaaaaah!
Using only the flame of his divine sword and the cold of his magic sword, Raon parried the onslaught of poisonous magic.
“Damn.
The top-down battle immobilised the Auror, limiting his ability to draw natural mana.
It seemed that unless I could eventually find a sense of the twisted mana circuitry, I would not be able to escape this wave of poison.
For now, the only answer was to use the divine sword, magic sword, and sword art to repel the Black Dragon’s magic and find the sense of the mana circuit.
Qi Li Li Li Ling!
I parried the incoming venomous blades and increased my concentration.
He used the pain of each misplaced mana circuit as a stimulant to increase his focus.
Koo-koo-koo-koo!
Raon polarised the ring of fire and raised his divine and demonic blades.
“I’m more confident than anyone that I can hold out.
* * *
[It’s pointless!]
The Black Dragon unleashed more and more waves of venomous poison, pressuring Raon as if the battle had already been decided.
Stinging!
Black spots appeared on Laon’s skin, and his arms and legs began to shake like a drunkard.
It was the classic form of poisoning. Though he doesn’t show it, he must be in terrible pain.
[I’ll give him credit for not screaming after being poisoned with dozens of poisons, but it’s over now].
The Black Dragon stretched out his hand as he spoke the last word, and above Raon’s head, a massive sphere of venom rose, threatening to engulf Seifia.
[I will melt you and all your elven holy places].
The Black Dragon muttered that it would show Raon a hell within a hell, and then unleashed a high-level magic, the Solemn Realm, at Raon.
Digging in!
A red glow appeared above Raon’s eyes as the giant sphere of poison was about to devour Seifia.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz!
At the same time, the soaring divine sword flames and magic sword frost descended on Seifia, shattering her into dozens of pieces.
Koo-koo-koo-koo!
The venomous fragments burst into flames and crashed to the ground, frozen in coldness.
[Yi, what the hell!]
The Black Dragon’s giant snout gaped open, as if it had never imagined such a thing could happen.
Turrrrrr!
Laon took advantage of the Black Dragon’s panic and stomped on the Taihua Bo.
[Ew! Get lost!]
The Black Dragon tried to use its dragon tongue to push Raon away, but Raon used his natural mana to shatter the dragon tongue.
[Advantage!]
The Black Dragon’s hastily constructed Wall of Poison and Absolute Shield were cut down, and Raon stomped the ground even faster.
[Kaaaaaaaah!]
The Black Dragon drew in its venomous breath as if in a last ditch effort. It unleashed its full power.
“It’s too late.”
Raon plunged the blades of his divine and demonic swords into the rushing Breath of Venom.
Kaaaaaaaaaah!
A harmonious mix of gold and silver cut through the venomous breath, tearing through the Black Dragon’s scales.
Purrrrrrrrr!
The Black Dragon’s neck twisted as if it were about to fall off, and its massive body lost its strength and plummeted to the ground.
[….]
The Black Dragon let out a deep groan, its entire body trembling.
[How the hell did you break my spell….]
It shook its head in disbelief.
“I didn’t break your magic.”
Raon shook his head calmly.
[What? But how….]
“I’ve memorised it.”
He shook his head, saying he had memorised every change in his body and every change in his mana circuitry.
[How many, thousands of them, and you memorised them all in such a short time?]
The Black Dragon groaned as if that made even less sense.
“Because it’s not hard.”
Raon nodded and sheathed his holy sword.
“I’m not one to toy with my enemies, so I’ll cut your throat right away.”
[Now, wait! I’m going to antidote the poison on you, or you’ll die too! If you let me live, I will never appear to humans again….]
“I won’t die from a lizard’s poison.”
He snorted, lengthening the flames of his divine sword.
[Move…Kerrrrrr!]
The Black Dragon attempted to teleport away, but Ra’s sliced through its mana flow and decapitated it.
[My, my human….]
The Black Dragon’s jaw trembled, as if it still couldn’t believe its own death, and its eyes lost their light.
“Whoa….”
Raon let out a long breath as he lowered his divine and magical swords.
“Good thing it worked.
As the Black Dragon had said, it would be impossible to memorise all the sensory changes in such a short time.
So, using the concentration of the Nirvana Index, he entered the world of imagination, memorised all the changes in his body and mana circuitry, and stepped back out.
Although it was only a moment outside, I spent quite a bit of time inside.
However, I was not in a good state of mind due to the exertion. I just wanted to collapse and sleep.
-Frankly, it was insane.
Lars shook his head in disbelief.
-I have much to say, but first, deal with the poison. It’s no ordinary poison for a dragon.
“That’s fine.
Raon shook his head and lowered his hand, and the traces of poison on his body slowly began to fade away.
‘I’m poison-resistant, and the ring will take care of it.
Once formed, the Ring of Fire could remove all harmful energy from his body even if he remained still. No need for antidotes.
-The damn ring, the ring, the ring!
Rath gritted his teeth in disbelief. He remembered a time when anger hadn’t worked.
“Now, then….”
He was about to move to help Sterin when he heard clapping behind him.
“Raon Sieghardt. You change amazingly every time I see you again.”
