129 – Reunion
-He was the last friend who survived.
Vashmu’s voice echoes from Anshar, the palace in the sky.
The voice that spread widely as if the god of the sky had descended was immersed in sadness and regret.
-Jim’s husband… It was Jim’s closest support.
Deep sadness and burgeoning anger.
The brilliant sky-blue magic descends and carefully envelops Mushumahé.
Shooooo… ….
Mushumahé’s body floating. Originally, the tens of thousands of years of magical energy that Mushumahe had accumulated so far would have caused a huge explosion, but Bashmu’s magical energy gently prevented this.
Dudeuddeud……….
Soon, the Sky Palace is dismantled. The dragon in the palace grew in size. An enormous presence that darkens the world.
What was hanging in the sky was a dragon with a body length of 193 km.
It is literally large enough to cover the entire primordial mountain range.
A person with six image worlds.
A person who has mastered all the magic in the world.
The first dragon.
The oldest king.
Bashmu.
The greatest disaster of the existing empire has arrived. All the dragons stopped moving and lowered their heads. Except for Maya and the kidnapped children.
Kugugugugugugugu… ….
Bashmu’s body gradually shrinks. He gradually lost his bloated physique… His magical power shrank.
Kugugugugugugugugugugugu!!!!!
It is literally as powerful as the creation of the sun.
Bashmu descends to where Monsieur Mahé is, his body length reduced to 100 meters. Bashmu wraps Mushummahe with her brilliant sky-blue wings. Even though Vashmu did not use his wings, he was floating in the sky.
-……… Jim was foolish.
Bashmu thought that Mushmahe was not completely dead. He was cut off by Evan, but he thought that only Monsieur Mahé’s life had been lost. But who would have thought that all of Mushmahe’s lives would have been lost.
Bashmu has lived for so long that his emotions have not changed much due to the death and birth of his people.
Mushmahe had a different meaning.
He has been with Vashumu since the beginning.
Paaa!
Vashmu re-embodies Anshar, the Sky Palace.
Anshar, a temple-like sky palace lined with gigantic cylinders.
Bashmu became angry after carefully placing the body of his beloved, Mushumahé, there.
Anger towards the person who put Mushmahe in this situation.
-Dare.
A worthless person harms Mushumahé. Vashumu used all his senses to perceive Evan.
“…… “You brought it upon yourself.”
Evan had the same reaction as Bashmu. It all happened when the dragon tribe kidnapped Maya.
Evan did not treat Bashmu lightly. No… He felt a sense of defeat that was almost certain. Although Bashumu is conserving his own magical power, his mere presence causes intense shock waves to hit his skin non-stop.
Peeing… Peeing…… Peeing!!
Evan looked up at the sky and had a hunch.
‘Stronger than the Witch King.’
Bashumu appears to be weaker than the Paladin of the End in his previous life, but is stronger than the Witch King.
Bashumu, the first dragon, is probably the strongest of the current era.
Of course, the current Evan is someone who cannot be defeated.
But Evan did not give up. It was Evan’s personality to struggle even when he was defeated.
‘Maya.’
Evan saw the top of the mountain of origin. The last time I felt Maya’s magic. Is Maya at the top of the mountain of origin? Evan didn’t know Maya was close to him.
She drank the elixir, but her senses were not fully restored yet. All other dragons were crushed by Bashmu’s overwhelming presence.
Evan thought he had to save Maya. Dealing with Bashumu will come later. Maya’s rescue comes first. Evan estimated his own lifespan.
‘How much time is left…? ‘I have to embody the world of images once more.’
Most of my life has already been lost in just one mental world… Must use again.
That will create a brief gap.
A chance to save Maya.
I burst out laughing. Evan suddenly thought that he was foolish.
In my past life, I never committed suicide like this for someone else… I just went around to prove my sword.
Now she is willing to give her all for Maya.
To save a disciple.
Even though being like this was unfamiliar to Evan…… I couldn’t deny that Maya was a precious being.
“Ah……….”
I want to see Maya.
Evan strongly foresaw his own death. Even in the prime of Evan’s previous life, his duel with Bashumu will be a struggle.
Bashmu is truly the supreme transcendent.
Evan’s level right now is not enough.
Still, if there’s something we can do… ….
‘Seeking disciples… ‘It would be my role as a teacher.’
“Nari!!”
Michael is calling Evan with a tearful face. When Bashmu appears, Michael yells to take refuge first. Michael’s voice and touch felt distant to Evan.
“I have been… I’ve lived for this moment. Thank you… Evan, I will sacrifice my life for my country.”
Mayer gathered all her magical power and unleashed her image world.
Mayer prepared for her death.
Mayer, maintaining the mysterious forest while holding her white treasured sword, seemed somewhat at ease.
Is it the same as Evan?
Evan was not afraid of death.
I’ve already experienced it once. If you have any regrets… Is it really about swordsmanship?
‘Useless thoughts.’
Evan erased his distracting thoughts.
There is no point in having regrets now.
Let’s fulfill our role as a teacher. Evan made up his mind.
I never want Maya to die at the hands of Vashumu. May Maya live longer than Evan.
-……… Boss!!
A familiar voice interrupted Evan’s wishes.
Evan had a question. How can a voice that should surely be at the top of the mountain of origin sound so close?
-Wow, that…… I escaped!
My tongue gets tangled when I speak hastily.
It is a habit of Maya that is too vivid to be called an illusion.
Evan turned his head reflexively. Maya is flying towards Evan, sweating. I think it’s about 30 steps or so.
Maya escaped safely.
She has escaped and is coming to Evan. Evan felt like he was dreaming. Maya escapes from so many dragons… She thought that if she made a mistake, she would never see Maya again.
It seemed like she couldn’t protect Maya from the clutches of the dragons…… After all, his disciple. Evan felt joy.
Until I heard Bashmu’s voice.
-Are you taking away your friend and reuniting with your precious family?
From Noble mtl dot com
Bashmu was preparing to attack in the sky.
Bashmu did not dare allow the human boy who took Mushumahe away from him to reunite with Maya.
Gooooo!!!
Magnificent magic power that boils like lava flowing out.
Bashmu focused his magic on Evan and Maya.
-Mash it. Kishar, the fortress of the land.
The mountain falls.
At the great dragon’s declaration, the Mountain of Origin and the Mountain of Lanterns poured down a huge landslide on Evan.
Kurrr!!!!
Power like authority.
Evan thought of a world of images.
Dedicating enough of your life to magic to embody the world of imagination.
The magic of cause and effect is greedily eating away at Evan’s lifespan and future.
The moments of holding Evan’s sword overlap once again.
Quaaa……… !
Flashing white light.
Evan jumped in front of Maya as if protecting her and raised his sword to slash.
At the same time, my vision became dark.
※
I lose consciousness.
An entirely white space.
It is a small, closed space with no tables or furniture.
The hazy consciousness returns…….
For a moment, Evan thought he had gone to hell. Bashmu’s second image world, Earth Fortress Kishar, was defeated. At the same time, Evan lost his consciousness.
Under the circumstances, it is correct that he is dead. Where is this white secret room? Evan looked at his hands. And he felt disgusted. What I saw between my fingers was a girl wearing all black.
A girl whose skin, eyes, mouth, face, and hair are all black.
The girl is hugging her legs.
Witch King Machia de Hexennacht.
There was no way Evan would not know her former enemy. Evan naturally felt hostile.
“Have you come to make fun of my death? “Witch King.”
-That wouldn’t be bad either.
The girl smiled as if she was happy.
Looks like an innocent child. But the next moment, the girl had a straight face. The girl opened her mouth as if she was pitiful, or as if she were a disciplining sister.
-But it is not pleasant for you to die by someone other than my hand. How can you give up your entire life? Even if you come back to life, you will have no life and you will die again.
Phew, the girl shook her head and sighed.
To Evan, the Witch King’s words sounded like nonsense. How many times had she deceived Evan with sweet and crazy words in her past life? The Witch King was a sinner who could never go unpunished.
-So……….
The girl knelt down and spread her arms wide. The girl laughed again.
-I will give you half of your life. Don’t die before your burden, Dawn. The Last Knight of the Empire… My eternal nemesis.
“……… “What is your intention?”
-hehehehe, isn’t this a bad story? You live again and save your disciples.
Evan did not believe the Witch King’s words.
A deal with a witch always comes with a huge price.
Evan could never trust the Witch King, who spoke without mentioning the price.
-Yes, you were obsessed with debt.
A girl who seems to be reminiscing about the past.
Evan was a person who lived unwaveringly in his beliefs. Thanks to that, he didn’t fall for the tricks of many witches.
Evan’s personality of not being indebted to others is also something that was carried over from his past life.
The girl was worried. What should I give in return?
Pajik!
A little magic power of seven colors flows into the pure white space. The girl was unexpected. Because someone invaded the absolute space she created.
The girl looked down. Maya, with her eyes wide open, is looking at this place, beyond her time and space. It must be a long way from where Maya is… Maya was assessing where the girl was.
-Ho……… Does the young one already recognize Jim’s magic?
The girl was interesting. Maya’s outstanding talent recognized the girl, the ‘Witch King’.
The girl wanted to see this cute little dragon show some more tricks, but she didn’t waste any more time.
The girl did not want anyone to be aware of this space.
-…… Good, Dawn. I’ll tell you what you want in return. Get me some luggage. Even if it means turning the entire empire into an enemy.
After telling her the price, the girl kicked Evan out of the space.
Evan’s memory disappears.
Even if the girl said this, she wasn’t going to let Evan pay.
So she left no memories of her time here.
※
Koo……… ….
A massive landslide splitting on both sides.
Evan’s mental world, which seems to split the world in two, tears off Bashmu’s left wing and ascends to the sky.
Kwaaa!!!!!!!!!!
Evan’s slash that splits the cloud in two.
-……… !?
Bashmu could not understand.
I tried to block Evan’s blow with Anshar, the Sky Palace, Bashmu’s first image world, but failed.
That’s it…… That play.
A strange magical power is interfering with Bashmu.
It’s definitely close to a curse… It is unclean magic power, but it is blocking Vashumu’s deep, deep magic power. A curse that suddenly flew across time and space and cannot be realized in this era.
If you do this, you won’t be able to activate the image world.
Bashmu felt stuffy. Does that young human, Evan, even know how to use a curse like this? Bashmu looked down at Evan with fearful eyes that saw something mysterious. Evan, with his back to Maya, is glaring at Bashmu.
Maya, whom Evan turns against, is a seven-colored baby dragon. It was definitely the dragon that Mushumahé had kidnapped.
“Don’t touch it……… Mara.”
Evan’s words flowed out unconsciously.
Bashmu could not understand at all. I can sense unholy magic from that human, Evan. It is disappearing at a fast pace… Unholy magic saved Evan’s life. Is that human boy really an outstanding warlock? Why did he have such outstanding swordsmanship skills? Bashmu believed that Evan had done what the Witch King had done.
Bashmu frowned and raised his head.
The Eastern Empire army is coming from Storm Mountain.
The divine sword Altair and the battle wizard Austin were descending from the sky.
Four elder dragons died at the hands of Evan, and one elder dragon was injured… The imperial army rushed into that empty space.
Bashmu felt a dark sense of defeat.
