Reincarnated Dragon Goes to the Academy!

Chapter 198 : A Strategic Choice. (2)

The celestial world was a mess.

"Taras~"

Taras frowned at Amore's cloying voice, who was flipping his blond hair.

"I told you not to call me like that."

"Eeeing! Darling~ accept... my love...!!!"

-Kwaaaang! Kwaang!!!

A pink beam shot out from Amore's hand and was aimed at Taras.

"You son of a X."

Taras, who had narrowly avoided the beam, spat out a curse and leaped high into the air.

"My darling is also good at flying."

Amore smiled faintly, and power began to gather around him.

"You're dead."

"Why? Are you going to annihilate me too?"

Taras, who had flown high, drew his sword and rushed at Amore.

-Chwa-chwa-chwat!

Taras's divine power, which had emanated from his sword, split into three and was shot at Amore.

-Kwaaaang!

Amore, who had blocked it, immediately rushed at Taras with his next prepared attack.

-Kwa-kwang! Kwa-kwa-kwang!

As they say, when whales fight, the shrimp's back breaks. The surrounding angels and buildings were already swept away in their fight and had disappeared like smoke.

"You're looking down on the power of love too much."

Taras, who had been hit squarely by Amore's crazily shot attacks, let out a rough breath as if he were running out of strength.

"Don't be arrogant. I'll annihilate you no matter what it takes."

"Haha! I really like you, darling. How can you not have changed at all?"

"Shut up."

-Taat!

Taras kicked off the ground again and ran.

"When was it..."

-Kwaang!

Amore, who had easily blocked Taras's sword, continued to speak, looking at a distant mountain.

"When my darling was beaten to a pulp by me..."

"Shut up!!!"

-Kwa-kwang!

Amore, who had easily deflected the attack that had been shot again, rolled his eyes, supporting his chin with one finger.

"Hmm~ Ah! It was then..."

-Kwa-kwa-kwang!

He blocked it again.

"Five thousand years ago. You were beaten to a pulp at the place where the Escar Mountains are now."

For a moment, the playfulness was erased from Amore's face.

"But why are you acting up again? I'm not going to let you off this time."

"..."

The divine power gathered at the tip of Amore's finger stretched out into a thin beam of light.

-Chwaat! Kwa-kwang!

As Amore swung his hand, the beam of light made of divine power was swung like a whip and blocked Taras's movements.

"Taras. It's not too late now. Stop right now."

Amore's cloying voice sank heavily.

"You're funny."

Taras snorted.

"If you don't stop now, I'll beat you to a pulp like five thousand years ago when the sea turned into a mountain range."

Amore, who had created a beam of light in his other hand, rushed at Taras.

-Taat!

Amore's figure, which had been shot at a speed that was invisible to the eye, was instantly positioned behind Taras.

"...!?"

-Chwaat! Chwa-chwat! Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwang!

One of the swung whips wrapped around Taras's neck and slammed him to the floor, and as the other whip struck Taras's buttocks vigorously, a tremendous explosion was heard.

"Keok!"

A groan of pain burst out of Taras's mouth.

"What did I say would happen if you don't listen?"

Amore's voice, as if scolding a child.

"I told you to shut... up!!!"

Taras shouted as he kicked off the floor and jumped out.

"You're dead."

A huge power began to gather in Taras's hand.

"You really don't listen. You son of a bitch."

Amore's face, who had seen that, contorted fiercely.

"I told you not to play with such dangerous things!!!"

Amore's figure was shot out again quickly.

***

Agua, the god of water and the sea, was watching their fight with interest.

'Why are they fighting like that?'

The so-called 'main god faction', which was trying to protect the main god's position, and the 'demon god faction', which had sided with Taras, who had the power right now, were in the middle of a war.

Agua was maintaining a neutral position, not belonging to either of them.

Of course, there were disadvantages to being in a neutral position, but that was only a story for those below the upper gods.

The intermediate or lower gods had to belong to an upper god, so there could be disadvantages if they didn't side with someone, but Agua was not.

He had enough power to protect himself, and since he was also a god who had existed since the beginning of time, no one thought of touching him easily.

'It's a pity about Herdone.'

Agua, who was eating peanuts indifferently while watching the fight, thought.

'To think she would go like that.'

Although it was true that he had passed on Herdone's weakness, who had sided with the main god faction, to Taras, he had not known that she would be defeated so easily.

'But well, it was fun.'

The big incidents that had occurred with Herdone's annihilation were quite enjoyable to watch.

And the dazed expressions of the priests who had lost their crests with Herdone's annihilation.

"Kik..."

He laughed again at the thought of that.

"Keuk! Kyak! Kyahahahaak!"

In the end, as a frivolous laugh burst out of Agua's mouth, the expressions of the angels guarding the surroundings were colored with embarrassment.

"Hey. What's wrong with this crystal ball?"

The condition of the crystal ball that was broadcasting the fight was not good. It was crackling as if it were blocked by something, and it was not clear, as if a hazy fog had settled.

"The other crystal balls are also in the same condition. It's probably because of the two of them fighting..."

As Agua's lips turned downwards, the expression of the angel who had been speaking hardened.

"Hmm..."

"I-I'm sorry. I'll find a way right away!"

The angel folded his wings tightly and attached them to his back, and then prostrated himself on the floor.

"Right. Do that."

As Agua leaned back on the long sofa with an indifferent expression again, a sense of relief appeared on the faces of the angel who was prostrated on the floor and the other angels.

"Oh? Taras is finally using that! Kyahak! Hak-hak!"

Agua began to laugh hysterically again.

"That bastard! Kyahak! I knew he would use it eventually?!"

He laughed so much that the sofa even rattled.

"He said he wouldn't use it! Kyahak-hak!"

As Agua slapped his knees and laughed, the angels, who had exchanged glances with each other, began to laugh awkwardly.

"Hahaha..."

"Haha..."

At that, Agua threw a glance at the angels and said.

"Kyahak! You guys find it funny too, right? Huh? Kyahak-hak!!!"

"H-haha! Yes. Haha!"

As one of the angels burst out laughing loudly, Agua, who was pleased with that, pointed at him and said.

"Kyahak! You bastard! You're still an intermediate! You go and get promoted to an upper rank later!"

"T-thank you!"

The intermediate angel bowed his head low.

"Oh, oh. Right. Hey, you, the upper one there. You give him the approval later."

"Ah, yes. I understand."

And he moved his gaze back to the crystal ball.

"Keuk-hak! That bastard. He might die today?"

Taras was struggling even while using 'that thing' that Agua had passed on to him.

"That's why~ what did I say~ huh?"

Agua threw a handful of peanuts into his mouth.

"You're no match for Amore anyway~"

Agua, who had a mouthful of peanuts, kept smirking.

'If he survives this time, I'll have to give him one of Amore's weaknesses as a reward~'

Agua's lips, as he chewed on the peanuts, glistened with greed.

***

No matter how much he thought about it, there was a suspicious part.

"Ellaim."

"...?"

Lucas, who was sitting across from Ellaim, let out a small sigh.

"Why are you sighing after calling me? It's annoying."

"I'm sorry."

"You're crazy."

"..."

A strange tension flowed between the two for a moment.

'I shouldn't fight.'

Lucas made a small promise to himself and smiled faintly.

"You're crazy."

Ellaim, who had seen that smile, sneered again.

"Unfortunately, I'm not crazy yet. But there's something I want to ask you."

"Speak."

"Do you know where the Sirens have disappeared to?"

At that, Ellaim frowned.

"Aren't you the spirit king of water?"

"Hah. Then why would there be a god of water and the sea? The sea is not our jurisdiction."

It was the first time he had heard that.

"Not your jurisdiction?"

"Literally. There is also moisture in the air. We literally govern all the water that flows in nature, but we also don't."

He felt like it was nonsense.

"Then is the water in the sea not water?"

"You're still as foolish as ever."

"..."

Anger boiled up again.

"That is also water. But we don't go to the sea unless we are summoned there. Because that is where all the water finally gathers."

"...?"

As Lucas made a face that he didn't understand, Ellaim clicked his tongue and continued.

"Tsk. I just want to say that the water before it enters there is our territory."

Although he had lived for over five thousand years, it was the first time he had known that.

'Well, I didn't need to be interested in the spirits.'

It might have been natural, since the only spirits the dragons met were almost all spirit kings.

And he had no reason to call a spirit even if he went into the sea.

"So you're saying you can't find them?"

"If I wanted to find them, I could, but it would be about the same speed as you. Because there are almost no spirits in their natural state there."

The hope he had had disappeared.

"...!"

At that, a thought flashed through Lucas's mind.

"Then the Sirens must have been hiding those bastards."

Only now did he understand why even the spirits couldn't find the demons' hiding place.

"Speak so that I can understand."

"It's fine. It's all in the past."

At that, Ellaim did not ask again, as if he were not interested.

"Then what happened with the spirit world? I heard the spirit world was also turned upside down."

"The angels came down."

"The angels?"

"Right. And four intermediate gods, and twelve lower gods."

"Isn't the order of the words reversed? Shouldn't it be that the gods came down, and then the angels?"

Lucas deliberately found fault.

"Since the angels came down first, I just said that the angels came down."

A spark flew between the two again. The two had fought like this whenever they had met in their past lives.

"Then what about Agua, the god of water?"

"What do I care what that bastard is like?"

"..."

Lucas suppressed his anger again and then opened his mouth.

"I'm asking if you know whose side Agua, the god of water, is on."

This was the most important part right now.

'Agua's movements are important.'

He had a feeling that the demons' movements would be decided depending on where Agua, the god of water, stood.

"I haven't heard anything. And I have nowhere to hear it from."

"You're not helpful."

-Thump!

In the end, Ellaim shot up from his seat.

"Why? Are you going to hit me?"

Lucas smirked and provoked Ellaim.

"Be grateful that you're a human. If not, I would have beaten you to a pulp like in your past life."

"Pfft! You're funny. It was you who was beaten to a pulp."

At that, Ellaim's body trembled.

"Can't you do something about that trembling? You have a very short temper."

In the end, as a transparent sword formed in Ellaim's hand, Lucas also shot up from his seat.

Just before the fight began, Ellaim's expression hardened sharply.

"Nella is looking for me."

"...!"

Something must have happened at home.
