103 – Dark Dragon and Fire Dragon – 4
“Drop it? “A dragon?”
“That’s right. “We can’t fly.”
“…… How?”
“You only need to cut off one wing.”
“Is that possible?”
The words, “This is how you did it in the original,” Did not come out of my mouth. It is said that Brünnhild in the original story stepped on the light, leaped into the sky, and tore off not just one, but both of his wings.
At that time, the power released by the Holy Sword split the sky into two pieces, albeit temporarily.
“You’ll know when you see it.”
Although it sounded quite irresponsible, Brünnhild nodded with an expression that said, “You can do it somehow.” The relationships that had been built up until now seemed to have played a major role.
“Here he comes.”
After waiting for some time, the silhouette of something large began to appear in the distance. It was a silhouette that made it easy to tell that it was ridiculously large even at first glance.
“…… “Is it really that big?”
“That’s right. “It’s beyond your imagination.”
I heard from Priscilla and Elisier that it was equivalent to a considerable result, but when I saw it in person, it was beyond my imagination. I wondered if I could be as tall as one tooth of that guy.
“You cut the wings, so how can I help you?”
“There’s probably a strange black energy emanating from that guy, but just focus on that with the holy sword. It would be better if you could attack the main body. “It will be easy to tell the difference from Magi because it has a different feel.”

“Okay! “Leave it to me!”
Brunhild nodded vigorously.
“Instead, I think I should avoid it for now. “I don’t want you to get caught up in it.”
“Are you saying there is damage? Where?”
“Over there.”
He pointed to a high cliff far away.
“…… “That far?”
“I’m going to cut off your wings and pick you up, so save your strength until then. If what I know is correct, even if you cut off your wings, it would be pretty tough, right?”
Brünnhild, who looked dumbfounded for a moment, saw the dragon getting closer and closer and quickly turned around and disappeared. After confirming that her back was far enough away, I raised my mana.
There is no need for mana breathing techniques. This doesn’t require thousands of magics that are replenished in real time. All you need is one spell.
Only magic that was considered taboo in the other world.
He stepped forward with his left foot, shifted his center of gravity, and pulled his right shoulder back, making the shape of his hand grasping something. As a magic circle was drawn in my hand, my entire body’s mana was sucked out like crazy.
The shape of a javelin began to appear in the hand. The surrounding air instantly boiled. The heat distorted my vision, and hot wind rushed into my clothes.
Soon the javelin took the shape of a perfect flame.
ㅡChii Iik… ….
The nearby terrain was distorted. The dirt floor, unable to withstand the heat, temporarily melted and hardened, turning into a shiny surface like porcelain. The burning air created an upward current.
The center of gravity was placed on the right foot behind. Quick! And the floor, which had become like porcelain, could not withstand the force applied and shattered like Styrofoam. Cracks spread around the right foot.
The window sucked in the air. Flames burned on the surface, wind circulated inside, the edges were covered with dirt, and water swirled around like a whirlwind.
The root of all elemental magic resides in a single spear. Unable to withstand the shock, he recovered his torn right hand in real time and extended his left arm forward.
While pulling the left arm extended forward, the center of gravity was shifted to the left leg held out. My right leg rose slightly, and the ground near my left leg, where I stepped forward, cracked and the nearby ground rose.
The right shoulder and left foot are aligned vertically. Rumbling! The sound of the entire ground collapsing, unable to withstand the force of the step, was heard. And the feeling of all my leg bones breaking apart.
Ignoring his torn body, I moved his shoulder and pushed his right arm with all my strength. His right arm, which moved as if swinging, shot out the spear in his hand.
ㅡ Kaaah Ahhh !!!!!!
Light split the sky.
Brunhild nervously looked down at the figure of the mummy far away. The dragon was getting closer by the minute, but Mira was still steadfast.
What on earth are you trying to do, sending yourself this far? Brunhild, who had no way of knowing the inside story, could only wait impatiently.
“…… What?”
For a moment, I saw a scene that made me doubt my eyes. A haze appeared across the wasteland, and flames began to boil around Mira.
There was no room for surprise. The boiling flames heated the nearby air endlessly. Even from a distance away, I could feel the faint heat.
Brünnhild held the holy sword without even realizing it and demonstrated his power. The holy sword responded to the owner’s will and raised a hemispherical protective shield made of light. The tingling skin subsided.
“What, what? “That?”
What Brunhild could see was Mira’s hand creating a spear made of flame, water, and earth, and even the part where Mira was holding her javelin. From then on, confirmation was impossible due to the swirling flames.
“Ugh?!”
A craze raged. The holy sword’s protective shield was urgently strengthened. At the same time, I was shocked.
If Mira can emit this much heat even from a distance that appears to be no bigger than her little fingernail, then what kind of hell is unfolding in the center? I didn’t even want to think about it.
It seemed like even the dragon in the sky couldn’t get over that sight. The spotted black dragon that was flying straight towards the hero twisted its neck and let out a loud roar.
ㅡKooooo!
Breath was vomited from the wide-open maw. The attack, recorded as an object of fear even in history books, hit the ground as if it would melt everything.
Almost at the same time, a flash of light shot up into the sky from the ground.
ㅡ!!!!!!
When the flash of light was buried in the breath, a roar that cannot be expressed in human language rang out. Brünnhild instinctively stuck the holy sword into the floor and supported her body with all her strength.
It was because there was a huge craze just in the aftermath. Even with the support of the holy sword, I had to grit my teeth and strengthen my body to hold on. Otherwise, it would most likely have been swept away.
“Uh, uhhh…” … !”
Although groaning in the aftermath, Brunhild saw clearly. A single light breaks through the swirling storm. Even breath couldn’t melt that flash.
The light flew away, crushing everything it touched, and hit the dragon’s left wing.
ㅡKaaa!!!!!!
Fuuu! With a sound, the entire area connecting the left wing and back was torn off. The dragon, who had lost one of his wings, twisted his body, glowed, and fell beyond the mountains.
The flash continued without stopping even after piercing the dragon’s wings. It soared for a while and then disappeared beyond the sky.
The dawn came to mind.
Although it was temporary, a ball of light brighter than the morning sun descended into the sky and illuminated the heavens and earth. The whole world was colored with light.
“… ….”
Brunhild was staring blankly at the dreamy scene. Because I couldn’t believe that that power came from one person.
“…… ! Mummy! Mummy!”
When the light finally faded, Brünnhild came to his senses and hurriedly came down from the cliff and ran towards the place where the mummy was.
“Ugh! It’s hot…… !”
Hot heat greeted Brunhild as she came down to the ground. Even though I was protected by the power of the holy sword, I was hesitant to keep going.
The breath that the spear could not pierce swept away the ground, and before that, combined with the aftermath of a surge of light, the entire wasteland soon became a hell descended on humanity.
But that didn’t mean I could back down. Brünnhild gritted his teeth, raised his holy sword and aimed it forward. As if in response to Brünnhild’s feelings, a bright light burst from the holy sword and illuminated the path ahead.
The skin heated up and healed repeatedly. This was the result of the natural healing ability being increased to the limit due to the power of the holy sword, but even so, it could not completely prevent the wound, so the number of red spots increased.
“Joe, just a little…” … Little bit more…… !”
After repeating “Just a little more,” Brunhild finally found the mummy. She moved with difficulty towards Inyoung, who was standing alone in the distance.
“Mummy! Mi…… Ugh?!”
Brünnhild, who had reached a distance of about twenty steps and stretched out her hand, hastily withdrew her arm. In that short period of time, the tips of her fingers were burning as if they had been burned.
I was dumbfounded. Does this happen just by touching the nearby air? So what about the mummy inside there?
“What…… Why did you come here? I guess he was saving his energy until I went to pick him up…….”
Mira slowly opened her mouth as if she heard the call. But her voice was seriously cracked. It was as if the inside of her neck had been burned.
“Mummy… you…… You… ….”
Brünnhilde could not help but be astonished by Mira’s appearance.
It looked as if her body had been reduced by two-thirds as the right half of her body had almost completely evaporated, and the right side of her face was also invisible, including the side of her nose. The same went for her right arm and shoulder.
Only her right leg was barely able to stand with her bones exposed.
Just because the left half of his body was left behind didn’t mean he was fine. The snow itself must have melted on her face, and blood was pouring out of her hollow eye sockets, and it seemed like all of her skin was burned.
“How…” … What happened?”
Seeing her entire body melt and regenerate repeatedly in real time, Brünnhild half cried and asked a question.
“Because it was a magic that was a bit difficult for humans to use. “It will regenerate in a little while, so don’t worry.”
“How can you not worry! “You’ve done that and you’re still saying that?!”
She closed her mouth, thinking that Brünnhild, who had inadvertently made a noise, would miss it.
“Hey, let’s go out first. “If you get out of here, you’ll recover faster”
“I can’t go out.”
Her only two fingers pointed to her own legs. I could see her bony legs, all of her flesh burned away. That way, the moment she takes her foot off her joints will become misaligned.
Tears welled up in Brünnhild’s eyes as she watched that scene.
“Now, it will only take a minute at most, so please wait a moment. “Not much time left.”
Even though her entire body was cooked like that, Mira’s voice was infinitely calm, except for the cracking. Although she knew it was a stupid question, she asked it without thinking.
“…… Doesn’t it hurt?”
“It’s okay because I got used to it.”
‘What? That is.’
How can I get used to that kind of pain? It’s normal to be sick. It’s normal to be in pain.
The clear liquid around her eyes slowly turned into dew and flowed out, then evaporated and disappeared.
‘It’s strange. Something like that.’
Brünnhild could not bear to say those words out loud.
“Whoa…” ….”
She let out a long breath. Now that the heat was gone, she felt a little better. It wasn’t a very good feeling, to say the least, to have her airways and lungs cook and then regenerate every time she breathed in air.
She can only bear it.
‘Is it because of my mood? It seems like the power has become stronger than before.’
Perhaps it was my first time using taboo magic with this body, so I felt like I couldn’t control my strength well. I wonder if the power was that strong.
In fact, even if she said it was taboo magic, it wasn’t for such a grand reason. It was banned simply because it was a magic that was impossible to withstand with the human body.
If you use the highest level recovery magic, the body itself can be regenerated as much as you want, but there were too many people who were mentally disabled after repeating collapse and regeneration for several minutes.
Rather than having 10 people use magic and all but 1 die, wouldn’t it be better to keep all 10 alive and have them use lower level magic? The ban was imposed because all talented people should not die due to careless use.
‘But the amount of mana consumed was too much for ordinary people to use.’
Even nobles who considered magic to be the preserve of blue bloods needed to train for more than 10 years on average to use magic. For commoners who had nothing to do with such things, it was virtually impossible to use it.
“Let’s go. “I have to go catch a dragon.”
“… ….”
Finally, I finished restoring my clothes and looked back at Brünnhild. Brunhild just stood there and looked at me blankly.
“Brünnhild?”
“Uh, ah? Huh?”
“What are you doing? “Let’s go.”
“Uh…… Huh. I have to go. I’ll go.”
For some reason, the situation seemed a little strange.
‘Well, I saw that right in front of me…….’
I watched people melt and recover hundreds of times before my eyes, and of course I couldn’t help but be shocked. I was worried about this so I said I would pick him up later.
Still, I didn’t want to sound bitter because he came to visit me because he was worried. It was around this time that I wondered if I should suggest that Machbat take a break here since he wouldn’t be able to run away anyway.
“…… “What is that again?”
Black clouds were gathering in the sky where Mahbat crashed.
