Chapter 194
The sky was dyed with darkness, and thick lightning covered the giant dragon's body.
As Hazard released his Polymorph and transformed into his true form to face the Black Dragon, the air grew even heavier.
The moment the two dragons stared at each other, the tension overwhelmed the surroundings.
The Black Dragon's black scales held a deep darkness.
It made one feel as if they were not simple shadows, but imbued with a gloomy and evil power.
From Hazard's body, mana surged, and his black and green scales glittered.
The scales were like armor, and his eyes, dyed with Violet Mana, flashed.
'Hazard is a Mixed Dragon with the blood of a Black Dragon and a Green Dragon.'
Furthermore, through a recovery potion made with Nectar, he became able to handle a part of Divine Power.
An extinct dragon race.
A creature that handles mana and Divine Power simultaneously.
Theoretically, it was a state that could not exist.
“Hazard is special.”
Sharle witnessed the scene of her habitual words being realized with her own two eyes.
[ROOOOAR!!!]
Hazard shouted.
Violet Mana swirled around the shouting Hazard.
"Ah..."
Sharle came to her senses at Hazard's Dragon Fear.
Only after shaking off the fear that had been dominating her from the Black Dragon did she realize.
That Hazard was trembling just like her.
That he had defied Killian's orders and revealed himself in front of so many people to protect her.
Her uncle had already sacrificed himself for her.
As the one chosen by the Violet Magic Tower, she could no longer show a disgraceful appearance.
“Creatio .”
The Violet Mana deployed its domain.
A magic that was normally burdensome to use alone.
If used on a battlefield like this, it would not end with a simple reflux.
But there was no need to hesitate.
She imagined.
The repository of knowledge that Cornelia possessed.
A dragon emitting Violet Mana would be sufficient as a medium.
As if she were the conductor of an orchestra, she formed a Shik with her staff and hands.
The moment she recalled the giant tower located on the western frontier.
"Violet Magic Tower."
Characters appeared in her two eyes.
[Name Search Magic is activated.]
[Confirmation of the marital relationship between Sharle Cornelia and Killian Eurasia.]
[Bloodline authentication complete. Synchronizing with the Magic Tower's mana.]
Kugugugu.
A radius of 1 meter.
She, who had shaken off the Black Dragon's presence, manifested the Violet Tower.
Not only was it not level, but its height was also far from the original.
Compared to the Carpe Illusion used by Killian Eurasia, it was a truly shabby appearance.
'If I were a complete Arch Mage...'
No, even if she had reached a complete 7-star, she would not have been able to manifest it as well as Killian Eurasia.
In the first place, it was a technique that even her two uncles had never succeeded in.
She should be deeply grateful just for this success.
Sharle's eyes, from which the fear had been lifted, sparkled.
"Hazard."
[Dragon.]
Hazard responded to her call.
His gaze was still fixed on the Black Dragon.
"Leave the calculations to me."
[Dragon. Dragon.]
Hazard replied that he would.
Using the Violet Magic Tower and Hazard's Dragon Heart as a medium, she deployed the Shik.
The one enduring the magic was the sturdiest dragon body, and the one calculating the Shik was the creation mage who turned imagination into reality.
The immense mana of the imperfectly manifested Violet Magic Tower.
Borrowing that power, Hazard exhaled a breath.
The Black Dragon's massive body was pushed back by the unexpected blow.
Chiiiiik.
[……!!]
The Black Dragon cried out at its melted scales.
Screams erupted from friend and foe alike in the Fear mixed with anger.
It was detected that numerous mana sources were extinguished in an instant, so she knew without turning her head that people were fainting one after another.
This time, in place of the exhausted Hazard who had exhaled his breath, she poured out her magic.
"Song of Fire and Ice."
Natural magic with opposing energies was manifested according to her imagination.
Fwoooosh.
What wrapped around the feet of the Black Dragon standing on the ground was a violet-tinged flame.
Crack-crack-crack.
What froze its short front legs was a violet-tinged opaque ice.
The power of the magic manifested with the Dragon Heart and the Violet Magic Tower as a medium was not inferior to that of an Arch Mage.
The air in the area contracted and expanded repeatedly at the different temperatures.
"Kiss of Earth and Lightning."
Kwaarrrr. Kwarung.
The ground shook and lightning struck.
Mana and magic swirled endlessly, and each time, the Black Dragon let out a roar.
"The Bear that Blocks Everything."
Thump.
As Sharle struck the ground with her staff, a teddy bear with violet fur appeared.
[Ponyo~]
The teddy bear with crossed arms took the Fear in place of Sharle.
“Deformatio .”
The staff took the form of a sword.
She imagined the ultimate techniques of the knights.
The Imperial Superhuman who had pushed her.
"The Sinner's Guillotine."
She manifested Mainz Kimbel's Carpe Illusion.
Chwarrrr.
The iron chains attached to the guillotine moved as if they had a will of their own.
The chains bound the Black Dragon's torso and legs.
Her sword changed back into a staff.
"Giant's Hammer."
Kwa-deu-deu-deu.
The ground rose and formed the shape of a golem.
The golem struck the head of the bound Black Dragon with the hammer it held.
Kwaang!
The Black Dragon shouted and twisted its body.
Then the chains that should not have broken, broke.
It flapped its wings and soared into the sky.
And swiftly broke the guillotine.
Kwa-deu-deuk.
The guillotine collapsed powerlessly and disappeared.
The golem collapsed as it was from the tail swung while rotating its body.
[Dra, dragon…….]
Hazard flinched and let out a groan.
Since she was using magic with Hazard's Dragon Heart as a medium, the side effects of the Shik being dispelled were directed at Hazard.
'Can't I even deal a proper blow with this much magic?'
As time passed, they were the ones at a disadvantage.
She focused the mana of the Magic Tower towards Hazard.
[Dragon?]
"A dragon with a huge body."
Drrrrrr.
Hazard's size swelled.
[A dragon with a huge heart.]
She strengthened his Dragon Heart to match his swollen size.
"Please."
[Dragon!]
Hazard, understanding what Sharle meant, spread his two wings wide and flew up.
The Black Dragon also roared fiercely and soared into the sky.
[Krarara!]
[Dragon!!]
The two dragons collided.
Even though he was enlarged, Hazard, whose size was less than half, aimed his claws at the Black Dragon's shoulder.
Hwoooong.
The tail swung by the Black Dragon as it twisted its body struck Hazard.
[Krrrr…….]
Hazard, pushed back, regained his balance and was about to close the distance again.
Suddenly, the Black Dragon bared its teeth and its eyes flashed.
"Hazard! It's a breath!!"
As Sharle shouted.
The Black Dragon opened its mouth and spewed a breath of condensed Evil Energy.
[Dragon!]
Hazard also exhaled a breath tinged with black-green without hesitation.
Kwaang!!!
The two breaths collided in mid-air and caused an explosion.
The sky split from the shockwave.
Hwook.
Hazard, while exhaling his breath, quickly circled to the Black Dragon's side and extended his sharp claws.
Kwaduk.
As he struck his claws into the Black Dragon's side, the Black Dragon's flight faltered.
[Karrrrrr!!!]
Soon, it roared even more fiercely and pushed Hazard back.
In the sky, the two dragons fiercely intermingled, exchanging claws and teeth.
The scene, like thunder and lightning clashing, was a spectacle.
Eventually, the Black Dragon retreated to catch its breath, and Hazard flew up and looked around.
[ROOOOOAR!!!]
Hazard roared sharply, as if it was his victory in close combat.
He was mistaken.
Ssssss.
The moment the Black Dragon's body was submerged in darkness.
Kwajik.
The front paw of the Black Dragon, which had moved at high speed behind Hazard, tore his wing.
[ROOOO……!!]
"Hazard!!"
Thump!
As Hazard crashed, the already half-destroyed castle wall completely collapsed.
"Binding Chains."
Chwarreuk. Chwarreureuk.
At Sharle's gesture, chains shot out from the Violet Magic Tower and bound the Black Dragon once again.
[Karrr.]
As the Black Dragon flapped its wings, the Violet Magic Tower connected to the chains shook.
Blood flowed from Sharle's two eyes as she bit her lip and strengthened her mana.
Tududuk. Tuduk.
Crack-crack-crack. Crack-crack.
The chains broke, and the cracks engraved on the Violet Magic Tower began to expand little by little.
Tiring.
With a familiar sound, new characters appeared before her eyes.
[The two towers resonate.]
[Detecting the mana of Killian Eurasia.]
[The domains are synchronized.]
Kwaaaaaa.
The imperfectly manifested Magic Tower began to become clearer.
The cracked parts were cleanly regenerated, and the chains bound the Black Dragon tightly.
She turned around.
There was a man with silver hair down to his shoulders.
The moment she confirmed the man's face, the sense of relief that washed over her was so sweet.
“You’re late.”
“So it seems.”
She straightened her weakened body and looked at Killian.
“How mean.”
“Not really.”
For a long-awaited reunion, it was a dry answer.
Sharle belatedly realized that Killian's armor was in tatters.
The light armor he wore as if it were his own body was crumpled, as if it had taken some great force.
It was also stained with someone's blood.
The sword he held was also not Aether.
Killian aimed the Anima he had drawn at the Black Dragon.
It wasn't just his appearance that had changed.
“Get ready, Sharle.”
Kugugugu.
From Killian's body, the presence of one who had achieved a great level was emitted.
“I myself will.”
The presence became Haki and covered the entire battlefield.
It was no different from the sight shown by Simon Eurasia and Escardo Schtenberg, the two 8-star knights, while defending the castle.
‘8-stars…….’
As if to confirm that thought.
“Cut down the Black Dragon.”
Killian declared.
***
His body was heavy from the battle with the Emperor.
He had drunk a recovery potion, but there wasn't enough time to recover with just that.
‘If I had been a little later, Sharle and Hazard would have died.’
Killian glared at the Black Dragon in front of him.
A dragon race revived by the Black Duke.
Unlike what he had seen in the shimmering of space, it was unable to use mana.
‘It’s using Evil Energy. I don’t feel the presence of the Black Duke. His Majesty must have done something.’
He didn't think that Simon Eurasia would have been defeated by the dragon in front of him.
Even if it was strong, a dragon without reason would not be able to properly use even half of its power.
And even then, the creature in front of him would not be half the level of the one Simon had faced.
Half of half.
Even in his tattered state, it was an opponent he could face.
“You fled the battle. And you’re causing a ruckus here with that kind of attitude?”
Killian, having organized his thoughts, concluded so.
Because his body was not normal, there was only one Carpe Illusion he could use.
“Sharle.”
“I know.”
The first tower created with Hazard as a medium, and the second tower created by Killian.
As Sharle controlled the power emitted by the Dragon Heart and the Mana Heart respectively.
The mana of the knight, the mage, and the dragon was synchronized into violet.
Simultaneously with Killian stomping his foot, time accelerated.
[ROOOOAR!!]
The breath of Hazard, who had landed on the ground, offset the breath of the Black Dragon.
“Chains stronger than a giant’s sinews.”
The chains manifested by Sharle held the Black Dragon.
Tat.
Killian, who had jumped up, cut the Black Dragon's scales.
Unconcerned by its resistance, he swung his sword several times.
Violet Mana penetrated through the scales and into the cut flesh.
Through the penetrated mana, the properties of Anima were manifested.
How many times had he cut?
Kooong.
The Black Dragon slammed its huge head into the ground.
This was because he had scattered the Shik engraved on it with the Authority of Silvana, manifested with the power of an 8-star knight.
Saaaaaaa.
The dragon, its curse lifted, began to oxidize.
Hazard, who was watching the scene with a sad face.
[ROOOOOOAR.]
Mourned the death of the first of its kind he had ever met.
