101 – Part 3 Episode 3
The goodwill disappeared from the black dragon’s eyes, and a fighting spirit arose in its place.
The majestic but gentle energy became a sense of intimidation and oppressed the entire training ground, and each gesture of the black dragon, which seemed noble, became a threatening portent.
“If you want.”
You seemed to be talking about something with the Grand Duke earlier, but did you prepare this?
Well, if it’s training, I’m welcome too.
There aren’t many Gods and Transcendentalists in our camp who are equal to me, so it would be reasonable for me to go into battle as well.
Start lightly.
I opened the subspace, took out my magic tools, and poured out magic.
Lightning and fire, the wind embracing the two.
Unlike normal magic, elemental magic with a purple color rushed towards the guardian dragon.
Now add yellow words here…
Took.
“Huh?”
The hand of the black dragon, which tore apart the space and approached me, touched my neck.
The magic tools that protected me and the protective magic that I had installed out of habit were useless against the black dragon.
“Laios, once died.”
Ah, it’s like this.
_____________________________________________________________
The black dragon looked at his distant descendants.
A god who defined himself as the emperor and master of the empire and made the Millennium Empire itself his divinity.
Although he had not long since attained his divinity, the descendant who took all the feats and achievements of the empire as his own, lost in an instant, and built up a reputation was certainly an amazing existence, but that rank was not immediately linked to combat power.
‘Strong, but slow.’
It was the beginning of the feeling that he mainly fought against those whose level was lower than himself.
In the first place, it must have been rare to fight without a battle line to protect oneself.
No, fighting itself would have been rarer than that.
Those who reached transcendence through magic were usually like that.
There were many wizards in Black Dragon’s memory who, even after accomplishing lofty feats and raising their ranks, were dumbfounded by swordsmen whose level was much lower.
The black dragon watched the emperor’s magic.
An elemental magic containing divinity.
Right now, with that alone, he can deal with quite a few transcendentalists, but the enemies of the emperor are not mere transcendentalists, but gods who once challenged the highest position in the world.
‘It’s still not enough.’
The moment the emperor opened his mouth to add yellow words, the black dragon moved.
Either the magic tools that protected the owner by pouring out lightning or moving themselves, and even the master’s aura and the protection magic that could block it a few times couldn’t stop the black dragon.
The Black Dragon stretched out his hand and grabbed the Emperor’s throat.
“Laios, once died.”
_____________________________________________________________
“Laios, why use divinity as a secondary?”
“What do you mean?”
“Is it necessary to use magic and add divinity on top? To think the other way around. Stop it.”
The black dragon instantly floated a black aura on his hand.
‘That’s the black dragon’s divinity.’
In fact, according to the standards I have listened to and judged for myself, Black Dragon was right to be classified as a transcendental being, not a god.
But how do you deal with divinity so naturally?
Contemplation of him did not lead to the movement of the black divinity that followed.
The black dragon’s divinity took the form of flames and rushed at me.
It wasn’t as ominous as death or as evil as the ferocious dragon, but the black dragon’s own black flames burned with the power to devour everything it touched rather than burn it.
‘Ah, that’s how you do it.’
I remembered the first time I saw the divinity of death from Edelwein and copied it.
Things I already had, but didn’t know how to do.
Like the first time I smoked a divinity, that too must be something I can do.
I smoked a mauve-colored deity.
And just like when I first learned magic, I moved the divinity very slowly.
‘What I want is water, water that turns that flame into nothingness.’
It is not about creating magic with mana and adding divinity.
A magic that was used as a divine from the beginning.
It wasn’t purple colored water, but a purple divinity in the form of water moved like a spear and attacked the black flame.
“Okay, that’s how you do it.”
Looking at the bewildered expression on the black dragon’s face, I murmured in satisfaction.
______________________________________________________________________________
‘I’m copying this all at once?’
I did show it to you, but I literally told you to watch it.
I expected to somehow block it with magic and divinity, but I hoped to learn something in the process.
I was thinking of letting me get a feel for it, and learning it while dealing with the lower transcendentalists and gods that would soon pour out.
By the way…
“This is how you do it. Certainly, I wonder why I hadn’t thought of this until now. You have learned a lot.”
“……”
I can’t believe I just saw this once and followed it.
I forgot for a while that the descendant in front of me had reached transcendence before five years of learning magic.
“Okay… Then let’s stop this one more time.”
Different from the small sparks from before, spears of black glowing fire rose in the air and aimed at the emperor.
This is a test to see how far the emperor can go.
Never, never.
It’s not like revenge for a descendant who extinguished his flame too easily.

“As expected, all dragons are insane.”
“Your Majesty… “
Cien looked at me worriedly when I came back after a bout of training.
“Damn, I didn’t know moderation.”
At first, it was fun because I got a new realization.
However, the black dragon used training as an excuse to gradually raise the level of attack, and later, he abandoned his magic and began to attack ignorantly, telling him to prepare for close combat.
…… It’s not that it didn’t help, but no matter how you look at it, it was a way to vent your anger.
To think that an author named Koryong is jealous of his descendant’s talent.
“Shien, do you think Jim is good at swords?”
“… Yes?”
“… Forget it Jim is a little tired. You made a mistake.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
There’s no way I can do anything with the black dragon just because I’m learning the sword right now.
Anyway, no matter what the process was, he definitely felt the need to prepare for melee and got a sense of it.
Of course, I don’t think I’ll be fighting alone without a knight to protect me, but no one knows what the situation will be like in the future.
“My dear! I had a good rest last night… It seems you haven’t lost.”
“Thanks to the Guardian Dragon.”
“hahahahaha, my brother is a bit rough. But it would have helped a lot.”
“I won’t deny it, but that’s not Jim’s taste.”
“Don’t grumble. After all, it’s just the most efficient way.”
“… Are you here?”
The black dragon, who appeared before we knew it and interrupted the conversation, gave a rough nod and led us to yesterday’s banquet hall.
From noble mtl dot com
In the banquet hall, everyone including Kiriya had gathered, and they were all having a simple meal together to see who had prepared it.
“Did you make it yourself?”
“I don’t like servants coming and going to my residence.”
This means that you made it yourself.
As with Argo, I thought that the dragons were more family-like than I thought, so when I looked back at the Grand Duke, the Grand Duke quietly averted his gaze and said,
“… The original woman is generous, so I don’t care if the servants are offended.”
You’re talking about not being able to cook.
Well, actually, even if it’s not a dragon, it’s not strange since there’s no need for a great nobleman like a grand duke to cook, but the grand duke looked uncomfortable as if something bothered him.
Well, did you have any romance in cooking?
“Ah, Emperor. You are here now.”
I nodded roughly and looked at the banquet hall.
Even though it was a place where ancient dragons and gods gathered, it somehow felt simple, but unlike the simple scenery, tension lingered on their faces.
“Pluto.”
“Tell me, Kiriya.”
“You said you were going to see Lord today, right?”
“Yes.”
“Emperor, the outcome of the war will change a lot depending on what Lord Lord decides.”
“I know.”
“However, Rod probably won’t move aggressively. Because that would be more fun for Lord.”
“That was roughly what I expected. Still, we should see each other sometime.”
“Yeah, that’s right. I’ll have to see you sometime. There is a lot to be gained from that alone.”
“Sure!”
A cheerful voice resounded as if to answer Kiriya’s words.
It was a clear voice, like that of a child.
“I wanted to see you too, Emperor.”
