“What is this… .”
Han Soo-young couldn’t believe it even as she spoke to herself.
who would believe
The huge dragon in front of her is actually Yoo Ji-hyuk, whom she knows.
“How?”
Magic or technology to transform the body into a completely different being already existed, and Han Soo-young was well aware of such things.
However, there were limits to those kinds of things.
It was because it was easy to simply change the appearance, but changing the essence itself was a different matter.
Simply put, this is it.
Changing her appearance to a dragon was something that even Han Soo-young could do with a little practice.
However, he could not do anything to vomit his breath like a dragon, and roar like a dragon to disrupt his magical power.
That was the difference between mimicking and being the sole being.
Not only her, but any wizard would.
The magic of transforming into a completely different being was a magic that even Han Soo-young and her teacher Nam Hyeon-hwa could not touch.
Perhaps even Evangeline Lohengrin, who is called the Great Witch, would be impossible.
To be able to do that, you literally had to be gifted.
Even then, the trolls were the only ones that even the most talented wizards in history could change.
However, the dragon in front of him was Yoo Ji-hyuk.
As a real dragon that exhales breath and roars dragons.
Yoo Ji-hyeok, whom he knew, was a man with no magic talent.
But how could he ever turn into a dragon?
A number of questions floated to the surface with their tails on their tails, but that wasn’t the important thing now.
Han Soo-young carefully touched his scales.
Then he reached out and patted the back of his nose with his head bowed.
“what should we do… .”
she muttered quietly.
I could tell without feeling it through the necklace.
Looking into his eyes, she let out a small sigh.
“Are you in a lot of pain?”
[…] … .]
Dragon and Yoo Ji-hyuk blinked their eyes without saying a word.
It wasn’t the pupils she knew, but eyes that were large enough to see all of them like a giant full-length mirror.
There are eyes with vertically forked pupils like reptiles.
… And it was Yoo Ji-hyuk’s eyes.
It wasn’t anyone else, and there was no way I could be mistaken for myself.
“Where does it hurt? huh? What do we do… .”
Han Soo-young whispered quietly and tapped his head.
It was like an act of comforting a child and becoming an adult.
I don’t know what’s going on with him now, but he knew he was in great pain, so it was a reflex action.
[nice… eww… .]
A low sound echoed from the dragon’s mouth.
Then, he shook his body as if it was uncomfortable, but in the meantime, he carefully spread his wings as if to make a screen over Han Soo-young’s head.
Breathe out from the dragon’s nose and slightly open mouth.
Contrary to the breath he had just exhaled, it was a wind that shook Han Soo-young’s hair slightly.
And her expression hardened even more as if she had heard the sound of his painful groan in her breath.
“Jihyuk, open your eyes properly. huh? Now, look at my face here… That’s right. Where are you sick? can you tell At least tell me with a glance. yes?”
It was the first time she had ever seen a human turned into a dragon, so she couldn’t do anything about it.
I don’t know the details, but I thought that transforming into a dragon must be a delicate and unimaginably complex magic.
In such a situation, it was impossible to give him any variable by his hasty action.
It was when she let out a sigh as if it was pity that she looked at the dragon wriggling her eyes as if it was just powerless and sleepy.
“… Do you want to help him?”
“Shh, who… Who is it!”
Han Soo-young was startled by the sudden voice and turned around.
The sight of her gazing around while raising her magic power quickly made the illusion that she was protecting a dragon.
“Then don’t cooperate with me.”
With those words, a woman suddenly appeared from the ground.
As soon as Han Soo-young first saw her, the emotion that immediately came to mind was that, ironically, she was beautiful.
Black silk-like hair that you can only see in paintings, and a pair of horns sprouting as if they were not human.
For a moment, Han Soo-young looks so beautiful that even she shudders… And the appearance of a ‘mature adult’ that she doesn’t have.
Han Soo-young was able to recognize who she was only after seeing all of her wearing a black outfit and with nothing on her feet.
“Chi, Seven Devils… !”
“Yeah, it looks like you’ve engraved my face into your memory even in the midst of the uproar.”
Unlike Han Soo-young, who murmured in an urgent voice, Minerva was very calm.
Han Soo-young stood in front of him as if trying to hide Yoo Ji-hyeok, who could not be hidden, and looked at Minerva.
“Uh… .”
Minerva stared blankly at Han Soo-young, who was showing hostility toward him, as if he had misunderstood something.
Well, just don’t do it.
Minerva, who did not take it seriously, nodded and said to Han Soo-young.
“Nothing will ever happen for you to worry about, so stop your enmity. There is nothing more grievous than the sharp enmity of someone.”
“you.”
Han Soo-young sighed and whispered.
“You know what you’re going to do.”
“You want to help him? So am I, red-haired girl.”
At that, Han Soo-young was startled and startled.
It was partly because of the word ‘help me’, but partly because of the title she used to refer to Yoo Ji-hyuk.
She called Yoo Ji-hyuk him.
As if a lover is calling… .
Han Soo-young, who shook her head off the thoughts that came to her, asked.
“therefore? How do you believe that? How can I believe you’re not really going to get revenge on this kid or on Jihyuk?”
Minerva laughed at her vigilant attitude.
“therefore? Even if I had that kind of heart, would you dare to stop me?”
“… … .”
Han Soo-young clenched her teeth.
Even though her body was shaking, she didn’t move.
Minerva, who was staring at him, suddenly giggled and burst into laughter.
“I admire your boldness and momentum.”
Saying that, she shook her head slightly.
“From now on, call me Minerva, for I will gladly give you my name as well. Even if you call my name without fault, do not accept it with pleasure.”
“What… ?”
“And I apologize for making fun of you, but please believe me. I too was in trouble because there was no way to get him back to his original condition.”
With one leg bent and her body pulled back, she bowed her head slightly as if to say hello.
Han Soo-young had a slightly puzzled expression on her face, perhaps unaware that she would hear an apology from her.
“Please tell me your name.”
“Uh, huh? Han Soo-young… is.”
Han Soo-young’s face darkened when she realized the meaning of saying her name for a moment, but the things she was worried about didn’t happen.
“Yeah, swimming. You and I shared names and became friends. For the sediment that each one contains will be blown away, and the high and low will come right back.”
Han Soo-young couldn’t understand nearly half of Minerva’s words, but at least she could tell that she was doing her a favor.
“Sooyoung, this Minerva, your friend, is the first to ask you.”
Minerva carefully reached out and reached out to Han Soo-young.
“Please believe in me and help me.”
to help him
Han Soo-young’s eyes narrowed at her whisper.
* * *
Unlike Han Soo-young, who fell alone, Lee Ye-eun and Lee Yu-na, and Choi Hyeon-woo and Jin Ye-seul were fortunately able to join soon.
In the process, Yeeun Lee and Yuna Lee cleared up misunderstandings and talked about each other, and Hyunwoo Choi and Yeseul Jin sarcastically quarreled with each other, but at least there was something important to them now.
It was Han Soo-young and Yoo Ji-hyuk’s work.
After finding the two separated from the party, they first find the ‘Han Soo-young’s magic’, which was their purpose, and, if possible, eliminate Gracius.
It could be said that that was their purpose for coming to this place.
But they were unable to achieve it.
It was because Gracius, who first found the ‘Han Soo-young’s magic’, which was their purpose, appeared in front of them on his own feet.
With an overwhelming number of undead.
“Hah ha ha ha ha ha!”
Gracius, holding a staff made of human bones in one hand, and a chain of magical power that loosely bound his lens in the other, burst into laughter as his throat burst.
“Sweep away, everyone! Sweep them all away!”
Every time he beckoned and gave a command, the undead crawl out endlessly.
It wasn’t about being strong or weak.
They just didn’t end there.
That alone was enough.
“ね… !”
“Yesul!”
“Stand back, I’ll take care of it!”
“I do not need… !”
“Yuna, bow your head!”
Choi Hyun-woo and Jin Ye-seul, Lee Ye-eun and Lee Yu-na.
In this way, the four of them took a perfect formation and faced the undead like an endless tsunami.
However, unlike the undead, who literally flowed like endless seawater, their physical strength was limited, and scratches began to increase one by one on their slowly exhausting body.
The golem summoned by Yoo Ji-hyuk had long since died and collapsed, and the spirits summoned by Lee Ye-eun were also exiled to their world with all their might.
“Advance, go forward… I don’t need their corpses anymore. Just move forward! My army, just by seeing you, drive them to despair!”
Intoxicated with power, Gracius looked at the crystal floating next to him with an ecstatic gaze.
He did not fully grasp this.
It was only accepting a fraction of the power flowing out like an overflow.
Even though it was only that, he could become a death and a legion.
“This is it… .”
If he had this in his hands, he could do anything.
Confident that he could do anything, he swung his hand once more.
“I hate to see you, go and get your neck!”
Dozens of Death Knights appeared at his beckoning and prostrated as if to obey the order.
In the past, even just a few minutes ago, it was unimaginable.
“Ahh… !”
If there is this, then he will surely be able to receive his calling.
And it was the highest honor and honor for him, and his eyes blazed even more red at the thought that only he could possess them.
“I don’t want to admit it, but… .”
The fact that the owner of this lens was a human, he could only know by accepting the energy of the lens.
And I really hate to admit it, but she’s so good that she can’t even reach her toes… No, it was also known that he was a necromancer of an insufficient level in terms of excellence.
A trace of someone who is literally different from you.
Gracius, frankly, lost his pride in the fact that he was a human who had only lived for a few years, but then he felt helpless and shook his head.
In any case, the owner of this energy had already died, and now he has taken it himself.
Since it was so helpful to him, even if he was a human, it was not difficult to acknowledge him a little.
‘If possible, it should absorb more power.’
Gracius thought so and patted the crystalline lens with his bare bones as if lovingly.
After all, the humans in front of you will soon be swept away by the tsunami of the undead, leaving no trace.
Now what he has to worry about is some strong-energy humans waiting outside.
And above all, it was Yoo Ji-hyuk who fell ahead.
“… It must have been true that he possessed the energy of Minerva.”
Aiming at him, he created a giant that spit out Surtur’s flames with difficulty, but it evaporated without a trace in an instant.
It was probably because he was hit with the breath that flew through the commercial building.
In addition to that, Minerva’s characteristic roar that disturbed the magical powers had made him show an ugliness that was not his own.
But what does that matter now?
He had the best weapon in his hand, and if he had it, he was confident enough to hunt him down.
“Hmm… You’d rather be caught alive.”
If he blindly pulled out the heart of a dragon, which is pure magic itself, no matter how hard he was, he could not easily predict what would happen.
Above all, he was the owner of the pendant that Milited, his owner, was looking for, and was also entangled with the Seven Evils in many ways.
If you capture it alive, he will probably find an appropriate use for it.
Because no one could even notice his deep meaning.
Gracius, who had come to a rough conclusion, was nauseous and savored as if he was satisfied.
“Yes?”
However, the fact that the four humans were still alive, even the fact that all the Death Knights he sent out had fallen, he could not stand the slight annoyance.
“Tsuk, mortals are bothering you.”
Gracius muttered with a very arrogant attitude.
“What shall we call this time, huh? Simply summoning a banshee and killing it in an instant is no longer irritating. So, would you put the rotting leeches inside your body and make them feel the pain of being eaten alive until you die? Before that first… .”
The fact that he had the lens in his hands now gave him nothing to fear.
Who would dare to oppose him?
Now he is literally a legion and death.
So it was.
That’s why he didn’t notice the presence of Hyunhwa Nam, who fell in a straight line right above him… .
“first.”
It wasn’t until her sword pierced the center of his skull precisely and pulled out the other side that he realized it.
