Reincarnated Dragon Goes to the Academy!

Chapter 220 : Sacrifice (3)

The sea, swept away by the huge explosion, was a mess.

"Keuk!"

Blackish-red blood poured out of Lucas's mouth.

"Hah... hah..."

Lucas, who had let out a rough breath, looked around, but there was nothing to be seen.

A blackout. The deep sea, where not a single point of light entered, was literally a darkness where one could not see an inch ahead.

[How dare you...]

Giestio's angry voice was heard along with the vibration that shook the water.

As Lucas called forth a light and brightened his vision, a staggering figure that was blocking his front came into view.

'Who is it?'

He could see the two legs of the figure, who was standing with his feet firmly planted on the ground, trembling.

"..."

Lucas let out a small groan as he confirmed the face of the figure who had collapsed forward.

"...Pamela."

The black aura flowing from her tattered body was swallowing Pamela.

[How dare you...]

"Why?"

As he cast a healing spell on Pamela's trembling body, the trembling soon subsided.

"Keu-euk, euk..."

Pamela was not in a situation where she could speak.

"Right. Let's see this through to the end."

Lucas struggled to get up from his seat.

"Let's see how far your power goes."

Since Giestio had also just poured out a huge amount of power, it would take time until his next attack.

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

A huge mana storm arose from Lucas's body.

[You bastard!!!]

Giestio's spear, which had been stuck in the ground, returned to his hand.

"You worthless thing."

Every word Lucas said was filled with power.

-Kwaaaang!

The mana that had burst out from Lucas's body shot towards Giestio.

[Kraaak!]

Although it was a decisive blow that contained all of Amore's divine power that was left in his body, it was not enough to break Giestio's enlarged body.

[This! This bastard!!!]

The attack that had struck his waist blew away both his fins.

"Hahaha! I feel so refreshed. I was dying to get rid of those fins anyway."

Lucas, who had burst out laughing, gathered his power again.

"This is going to hurt a little too."

[You human bastard!!!]

-Kwaaaang! Kwa-kwang!

The condensed mana flew towards Giestio again.

-Kwa-kwang! Kwang!

[Kraaaak!]

One of Giestio's arms, which had lifted his spear and had blocked Lucas's attack, was tattered as if it would fall off.

"Right. Come to think of it, there's no reason why I can't beat you."

Lucas shrugged his shoulders once.

"It seems I was very tired. To think I thought I couldn't block your attack."

[I... I am a god. I am not an opponent that a bastard like you can dare to face!!!]

Giestio's voice, filled with anger, burst out.

"I also can't be defeated by a fake god like you."

Lucas, who had smirked, gathered his power in both his hands.

"I'll tell you again."

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

"I have lived for half a thousand years as a race of promise."

The vortex that had begun to form around Giestio grew in size as if it would swallow him.

"In the most painful way I know..."

-Kwaaaang!

"I'll kill you."

-Kwa-ka-ga-gak!

[Kraaaak!]

The vortex, which had turned into a sharp saw blade, tore Giestio's body to shreds.

[Uwaaaaaaa!!!]

Giestio, who had been letting out a pained groan, suddenly let out a powerful shout as if he were putting in a spirit, and then lifted his spear and thrust it into the ground.

[K-kill, you, ma...]

He, who was standing in the blade, struggled to squeeze out his voice, and then.

-Kwa-ga-ga-gak!

He lifted his hand, which was now unrecognizable.

"Damn it."

It meant that Giestio had something else prepared.

[Kraaak!]

A bright light burst out from the Siren's territory and began to be absorbed into Giestio's body.

"Ah, no, don't... keuk, heuk..."

Pamela, who was lying behind, said with difficulty, seeing that scene.

'I have to end it now.'

He felt that he knew the source of the power being absorbed by Giestio, so he only thought that he had to end it right away.

-Kwa-ang! Kwa-kwang! Kwang!

Lucas began to pour out attacks at a crazy speed.

[Kraaak! Kraaak!]

But Giestio was crouching down and screaming as if he were gathering his energy, without even blocking the attacks.

"You crazy bastard."

Goosebumps rose on Lucas's body as he met Giestio's crazed eyes.

There was only one thought that came to Lucas's mind now.

'Please die.'

-Kwa-kwang! Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwang!

How much time had passed?

The mana, which had been close to infinite, was showing its bottom due to the attacks that were pouring out with all kinds of curses.

"...You stubborn bastard."

The white light that had been absorbed into Giestio's body had also subsided.

[I... I am a god.]

Giestio's body, which had been in tatters and was unrecognizable, had also recovered and had become whole.

[I am not an opponent that a bastard like you can face.]

But the fins that had been cut and the neck that had been attacked first had not recovered.

'Divine power.'

They were the places he had attacked with Amore's divine power.

-Kwa-kwang! Kwa-ang!

Although he had poured out attacks several times after that, he could no longer find any destructive power.

"Hah... hah..."

Lucas, who was finally exhausted, let out a rough breath and looked up at Giestio.

[Are you done?]

Giestio laughed as if he were pathetic, looking at Lucas, who was breathing heavily.

'Is this really the end?'

He couldn't tell how far his preparations went.

[For a power gained as a human, it's amazing.]

Giestio's tone, as if he were praising a subordinate, was annoying.

"You're crazy."

Lucas, who had smirked as if he were dumbfounded, gathered his power again.

[Right. Struggle until the very end.]

"N-no, don't..."

"..."

He could hear Pamela's voice, who was barely squeezing it out, holding onto his pants, as if she had crawled over.

"Power, is, being, absorbed..."

Although it was a word spoken with difficulty and intermittently, he could understand what she meant at once.

[Khahaha!]

Giestio, who was watching that, laughed, causing a splash. As if it were very funny.

'Damn it. Was that it?'

The attack that had been poured out like crazy when the white light had been absorbed by Giestio.

At that, Giestio's body had recovered.

'To think that the white light was not the cause.'

After that, as his attack subsided, the white light also subsided.

'I ended up helping him.'

He had unintentionally helped Giestio's recovery.

[Right. Your power was a great help.]

Even a curse was a waste.

[You're useless now. What can you do? Are you going to run away?]

Giestio asked innocently, as if he were doing Lucas a huge favor.

"No."

Lucas shook his head with a smirk.

'I probably can't run away anyway.'

He could feel it without having to check. The huge barrier that was wrapped around him in layers.

"I'll just die."

He judged that it was better to take his own life and receive the authority of the main god than to give it to a bastard like that.

[Even if you take your own life, the authority will be mine.]

As Lucas gathered his last remaining mana and aimed it at his neck, Giestio opened his mouth leisurely.

"Don't be ridiculous."

That was a lie.

Lucas, who had taken a deep breath, was about to detonate the condensed mana at his neck.

"...!?"

Someone grabbed his hand with a 'tak'.

***

Vadim, who had passed the brink of death, came outside and thought for a long time.

'I shouldn't let him die.'

It was not the time yet.

'If he can't finish that life properly...'

Vadim thought hard about something and then shook his head vigorously.

'That fish bastard.'

He clicked his tongue at the thought of what Giestio had done.

Although he had known he was a cunning bastard, he had never thought he would do something like this.

'How bold he is.'

He couldn't believe that he had done such things behind his back with an innocent expression.

"Tsk!"

Although the barrier had not been that thick when he had left, it was clear that there would be a much thicker barrier now.

And since it was a barrier set up targeting the dragons, it seemed that it would not be easy to enter.

'Shall I call Amore?'

But Amore also could not leave his post, as he was monitoring Agua.

'If even Agua runs wild, there will be no answer.'

The fish and the god of water had conspired and had done a bad thing.

But in a situation where Giestio, who was a fish, had done such a thing, saying that he would become a god himself, it would be terrible if the real god, Agua, also joined in.

"What should I do..."

He had not yet found the object he had to find.

No, it was more correct to say that he had not yet come to find it.

"And there are so many delicious things..."

The food he had tasted after getting a body was so delicious.

"Hah..."

Vadim, who had been pondering over and over, finally nodded his head vigorously as if he had decided something.

"Right. I've decided."

What was important now was to stop Giestio, no matter what.

'The food is a pity, but...'

He had to think that there would be another chance someday.

"Tsk!"

Vadim, who had expressed his anger with a loud voice once more, teleported somewhere and disappeared.

-Paaat!

The place Vadim arrived at was the cave where the mirror was placed.

"Aigoo."

Vadim, who had let out a deep sigh, stood in front of the mirror.

Vadim, who had brought his hand to the mirror, closed his eyes.

[κράτος.]

A soft voice, as if singing, flowed from Vadim's mouth.

[ἰσχύς ύος]

The mirror began to emit light.

[ἐπιστρέφω ἄρχων]

As Vadim opened his eyes, a bright yellow light flashed from his pupils.

-Paaaat!

Vadim disappeared at the same time as a bright light burst out.

***

Lucas's eyes, as he turned his head to see who had grabbed his hand, were filled with doubt.

"Who are you?"

A face and an aura he had never seen before.

He was not a dragon, a human, or any other race.

"Who do you think I am! It's me!"

Although he felt a divine power, he was not a god.

[Another worthless thing has increased.]

The tip of Giestio's spear was aimed at the two of them.

[To think you would come to a place to die.]

It was when Giestio was slowly pulling his arm back to throw the spear.

"Tsk. How dare you."

The mysterious man reached out his arm towards Giestio.

[Keuk!]

At that, Giestio's arm stopped in the air as if it were bound by something.

"...Who are you?"

Lucas, who had seen that, also took a step back and asked.

"Tsk-tsk. How foolish."

[Who are you!!!]

As he reached out his hand again towards Giestio, who was shouting in frustration, Giestio's mouth was clamped shut.

[Ugh! Ugh!!!]

"How dare you! How dare you speak like that, you fish!"

As the man with the golden eyes shouted, Lucas's body flinched.

"...No way."

"Right."

The man smiled faintly and cut through the water with a graceful movement.

-Kwaaaaaa...

The water, which had been split according to the man's gesture, began to circle around Giestio.

[ἐπιπλήσσω]

As a clear voice, like a song, flowed from the man's mouth.

-Kwa-deuk, kwa-deuk!

Giestio's body twisted strangely.
