Reincarnated Dragon Goes to the Academy!

Chapter 219 : Sacrifice (2)

Giestio's small fin, which had always been swaying playfully, broke with a 'pasak' sound.

"Right. I've been waiting for this moment."

Every time Lucas's eyes shone fiercely, the surroundings froze with killing intent.

"I've imagined tearing you to shreds hundreds, thousands of times."

"Kraaaak!"

Lucas's steps were leisurely as he slowly approached the screaming Giestio.

"How is it?"

"Keuk... eok..."

Madness flickered in Giestio's flushed eyes.

"Try to get out of this with your brilliant mind."

Lucas's actions were so cruel that even Vadim, who was standing next to him and watching the scene, clicked his tongue.

-Saaaaa...

Just then, a bright light burst out from the barrier that had been surrounding the Siren's territory.

"...?"

He was startled by the bright light for a moment. It was when Lucas, who had not felt any change, was feeling doubt.

"Keuk!"

Lucas turned around at Vadim's pained voice.

Vadim's body was turning blue.

"Vadim-nim!"

Lucas quickly poured protection and healing magic on Vadim.

"I-I almost died. If it weren't for this that my friend Hasel gave me, I really would have died."

Vadim lifted the seashell bracelet he was wearing on his arm and jingled it.

"That's a relief."

It was a bracelet that Hasel had given Vadim when he had said he was going to the Siren's territory.

"All my magic has been nullified."

Before coming down to the sea, Vadim and Lucas had each cast a protection spell. But for some reason, when the white light had burst, Lucas was fine, but Vadim was not.

"Don't tell me..."

It seemed that something that only worked on dragons had been activated.

"You're struggling until the very end."

Lucas sneered at Giestio, who was still trapped in the ice and couldn't do anything.

"Right. Struggle until the very end."

Lucas handed Vadim a scroll.

"Go ahead."

"Will you be okay?"

"Of course."

He also had a level of mana similar to that of the dragons. And since he was the contractor of Ellaim, the water spirit king, he could summon him if necessary.

"Right. I understand."

Vadim, who had received the scroll, made a somewhat uneasy expression and then tore the scroll and disappeared.

"Right. If there's anything else you have to do, do it now."

Lucas said, slightly loosening the magic that had bound Giestio.

"Keo-eok..."

Giestio let out a pained groan and then looked up at Lucas.

"I said do it."

For some reason, Lucas felt like he wanted to see everything he did until the very end.

"A human like you... no, a Siren is a first. No, it would be right to say that a being like you is a first."

"...You will regret not killing me right away. I also want to see how far your arrogance goes."

Lucas shrugged his shoulders as if it were nothing.

"Right. It might be my arrogance. But I don't regret it. Because I have to see how far your tricks go."

Was it because he thought he was the first formidable opponent he had ever met?

He really wanted to see how far his mind worked.

"But what can I do?"

Giestio smirked.

"Even if I had died, this trick would have remained."

Giestio's fins began to shake vigorously again.

-Pa-seu-seu-seu-seut...

The barrier, which was emitting a white light again, began to scatter like smoke.

"Kraaaak!!!"

As the scattering white smoke began to be absorbed, Giestio let out a scream.

"Damn it!"

Lucas, who had finally realized that something was wrong, bound Giestio's body with magic again, but it was already too late.

"What on earth did you do!"

"Kraaaaaa!!!"

Giestio's body swelled up and broke Lucas's magic.

-Kwa-jijik! Kwa-jik!

Although Lucas cast magic on top of it, and then again, he could not stop Giestio from growing.

"Damn it."

Ancient magic. It was the most evil and wicked magic among black magic.

"You've finally crossed the line."

[...I am a god.]

"You crazy bastard."

A magic that the ancient black mages who had challenged the heavens had researched. It was the Pedios magic.

What was needed for the Pedios magic was the souls of a hundred thousand and a pair of pure angel wings. And with that, a piece of a god's soul.

"To think you would do that."

Although it was a magic that could not be realized in ancient times because there was no way to gather other things besides the souls of a hundred thousand, Giestio had now succeeded in doing it.

[I'm overflowing with power.]

Giestio's enlarged face looked down at Lucas.

"You really are not going to die a good death."

A small groan escaped from between Lucas's teeth.

The birth of a new god. It was the birth of an evil god.

***

Pamela, who was trembling, handed over a small pouch.

"Finally...!"

Giestio's face, as he received it, was filled with joy.

"Finally, finally!!!"

What was in the pouch was a soul stone in which the souls that the Demon King Yastan had gathered so far were condensed.

"You foolish Yastan! To think you didn't use this even though you had it!"

With this, Giestio, who had fulfilled all the lacking souls, felt something filling his chest.

'I can become a god.'

He couldn't get in touch with Agua. He didn't know who he was afraid of, but it was clear that Agua had backed out.

'It must be that idiot Amore.'

The seat of the main god was now vacant.

'I will become the god of you well-born bastards.'

He had also obtained the small piece of soul that Taras had left behind when he had been annihilated.

And since Yastan had also taken good care of the wings of the angels who had descended with Taras, he had also been able to obtain that easily.

'To think I would be able to do this!'

It was a godsend that he had gathered the souls of the humans who had fallen into the water while living in the sea for a long time, just in case.

'To think that the souls of humans would be of no use!'

When the humans had started to pretend to fall into the water and had started to catch the Sirens, Giestio had given a special order.

To collect all the souls of the humans who had fallen into the water.

"Very well done."

Now all he had to do was to fuse all these things well, and he would be able to achieve his goal.

"You're not going to use it, are you...?"

The soul stone, which was darker than the darkness that Pamela had obtained by coaxing him, did not shine even in the water.

"Of course. Of course."

Now all that was left was to have the dwarves process this.

"I'll only use it to build a protection barrier."

"...I understand."

Pamela begged and begged, saying that she did not want any more sacrifices.

At that, Giestio soothed and coaxed Pamela, saying, 'There will be no such thing.'

'I knew you would know.'

Giestio, who was holding the soul stone tightly in his bosom, smiled brightly at Pamela.

"Thank you."

It was a kinder smile than anyone else's.

***

-Kwaaaang!

Every time Giestio waved his hand, a huge roar erupted.

"Kraaaak!"

The Sirens, who had been far away, were also swept away by the explosion and died screaming.

"Damn it!"

Lucas crouched down with a protection barrier, and.

-Kwa-kwa-kwang!

Every time Giestio thrust his spear and tried to break Lucas's protection barrier, the surroundings were gouged out and a huge vortex of water arose.

[Didn't I tell you.]

Giestio's heavy voice filled the sea.

[That you would definitely regret it.]

And Giestio's words were not a lie. He felt a momentary regret that he should have killed him right away.

[But it would have been more perfect if I had died.]

'Right. It's a relief.'

But as Giestio had said, the Pedios magic was a magic that was activated more perfectly when there was no physical body.

'If that had happened...'

A black magic whose power was determined by how many sacrifices followed. Since the Pedios magic used numerous sacrifices as a foundation, that much power was activated.

If the caster's physical body had also been offered, the power would have been even greater.

[Right. You won this round.]

"Don't flap your mouth."

Lucas gathered the power of Amore in his arm.

'If I use it like this...'

Although he might not be able to use Amore's protection barrier, this was the best he could do now.

Anyway, if he didn't find and break the artifact that was limiting the dragons' power, even if Hasel and the other dragons came, they wouldn't be able to use their power.

'But if not now, it will be even more difficult.'

The Pedios magic became more perfect as time passed. So now, when he had just awakened as a god, was the chance.

[Blame your arrogance.]

"Do you know that the authority of the main god is with me?"

[So what? I'll just take your power first.]

Giestio smirked.

"How funny."

Lucas released Amore's protection barrier and shot up towards Giestio.

[You're trying to use a petty trick.]

Giestio, who had sneered at Lucas, who was flying towards him, reached out his hand.

'No.'

Lucas, who had desperately twisted his body to avoid his hand, gathered his power in his hand.

-Kwaaaang!

The magic, combined with Amore's divine power, struck Giestio's neck.

[Kraaak!]

The real divine power worked on the evil god.

'It worked.'

It was when Lucas, who had retreated, was gathering his power again.

-Kuo-oh-oh-oh-oh...

A huge vortex of water began to rise around Giestio.

"Keuk!"

Lucas, who had almost been swept away by the vortex, quickly pulled his body out.

[You... you dare...!]

Giestio shouted, clutching his neck.

[I'll kill you. I'll take all the authority you have and become a complete god!]

A huge spear was summoned in Giestio's hand.

"Ellaim!!!"

Lucas could feel it instinctively. That he couldn't block that alone.

"Amore!!!"

He shouted their names with all his might.

[How pitiful.]

But Giestio just sneered at hearing their names.

"...No way."

[Right. No matter how much you shout their names.]

Giestio raised his spear high.

[They will not come.]

The tip of Giestio's spear was aimed at Lucas.

[I'll make good use of your power.]

Lucas, who was facing the huge spear aimed at him, thought.

'This is the end.'

As Giestio had said, it was an arrogant judgment.

'I... until the very end...'

He was arrogant. The long years he had lived as a dragon.

'I couldn't live as a human.'

The short time he had lived as a human, he had also lived, preparing to throw away his life at any time.

'I thought the words of the humans were a lie.'

Numerous scenes that flashed by like a revolving lantern.

Precious scenes passed by vividly, like a well-drawn picture.

'It's probably useless.'

Since his mana was infinite, he had wrapped himself in layers of protection magic, thinking that he would somehow survive, but he had a feeling that it wouldn't work this time.

[Die.]

The fleeting moment when the spear left Giestio's hand and came towards him felt slow.

"It was nothing much."

Although he had lived, struggling, all that time felt like nothing, and a smirk came out.

'Did I achieve eternal annihilation?'

A huge explosion occurred as the spear struck down.

-Kwaaaang
