567.
“Dragon language magic?”
“That’s right.”
Leo nodded at Driana’s question.
“Is it alright? It looked like incredibly powerful magic?”
“It’s a test because it’s powerful magic.”
“You’re talking about Chelsea.”
“Right. Why did you cast illusion magic on Chelsea Rwallin? Wasn’t it to show those dragons a lesson?”
Following Driana’s words, Lunia also asked with a puzzled expression.
“Those dragons were secretly looking down on Chelsea.”
Leo chuckled.
How amazing she is. They’ll learn through Chelsea just how narrow-minded and arrogant their thinking was.”
Hearing Leo’s words, Lunia made a displeased expression.
“I thought you would make it so they could never crawl back up again.”
“That is my usual way. But now I thought it wouldn’t be bad to show them how wide the world is.”
Even at Leo’s words, Lunia made a slightly displeased expression.
Seeing such Lunia, Leo clicked his tongue.
“You’re thinking you should smash those arrogant dragons’ faces right now, aren’t you?”
“Yeah.”
“You’re only learning Luna’s bad points.”
“Thanks for the compliment.”
“Does this sound like a compliment to you?”
Even at Leo’s words, Lunia only smiled prettily.
‘She’s increasingly resembling only Luna’s shameless aspects.’
There are so many good points to learn, so why does she only learn the bad things?
“Should I hit this girl once when she gets out of the illusion?”
“Lunia, if you really only choose to do such mean-spirited actions, you’ll really get a reputation as a delinquent elf.”
“What’s wrong with my heart? I have a kind heart.”
“I can clearly see that your heart has been finely ground into soft powder.”
At Driana’s words, Lunia flared up.
“Think about when you and I first met and understand with a broad heart.”
At Leo’s words, Lunia’s face turned pale.
“The first meeting between the Black Rabbit and the delinquent elf? How was it? How was it?”
Ar’s eyes sparkled as she asked.
“Don’t! Don’t say it!”
Lunia rushed at Leo to cover his mouth.
But she was caught by Ar.
Though Lunia had a fierce personality and handled terrifying magic, there was no way she could shake off Ar with physical ability.
“My Phoenix was originally marked as Lunia’s covenant partner. When she found out I had contracted with it first by chance, she made a fuss demanding I return it.”
“What a troublemaker.”
“And she cried pitifully asking me to return it.”
“I didn’t cry! I was just pretending to cry!”
Lunia screamed.
Ar’s eyes sparkled.
“Then she applied for a duel saying she would prove she was more suited to be Fiora’s covenant partner…”
“Ahhh! Ahhh! Ahhhhh!”
Lunia screamed with a face as red as her hair.
Early first year.
It was an embarrassing memory from her immature days.
Saying she would prove to a great hero that she was suited to be the Phoenix’s covenant partner!
What could be more embarrassing than this!
‘And of all people, telling that story to these guys!’
“You’re noisy.”
“Grrrr!”
“Are you a wild beast?”
When Lunia tried to cover her own mouth, she attempted to bite Driana’s hand.
“A duel challenge over the Phoenix. Pfft!”
Ar, who was holding Lunia, laughed unpleasantly.
‘I will definitely erase this cat’s memory!’
Just as Lunia was grinding her teeth with a crunch!
Roooooar!
Black magic power burst forth from the bodies of those caught in the nightmare.
Seeing this, everyone’s gaze turned to Leo.
“Well, Lunia. To you, it might seem like I’m dealing with those brats in a gentle way for me. But mentally, this method might be more difficult.”
Leo’s left eye had turned black and was emitting black magic power like smoke.
“It seems to have begun in earnest.”
***
‘Nightmare!’
Riden’s eyes widened.
The reason Risinass receives nearly infinite respect from later generation dragons isn’t simply because he was the leader of the subjugation force that saved the world.
Even when the world was being rebuilt after the Age of Calamity ended, Risinass’s foresight shone brightly.
Though he closed his eyes without seeing the new era, the world was rebuilt based on Risinass’s plans.
Those who remained inherited Risinass’s wisdom.
Such foresight of Risinass shone even after Erebos was destroyed.
Even after Tartaros began stirring again.
The period when Tartaros was stirring.
Military strength.
And even strategy and advance directions.
The wisdom Risinass left behind protected the world until the world could stand on its own.
Early Age of Heroes.
The heroes she chose, led by Fairy Knight Berkia, all placed the unstable world on solid ground.
The manuscripts Risinass left behind predicting the future could truly be called prophecies without shame.
The reason this was possible was just one thing.
It must have been because Risinass had conviction that the world would be saved even in desperate situations.
Such Risinass also left a legacy for her kin.
She left the dragon language magic she had created so that others of later generations could also learn it.
Becoming a guide and learning that magic was the ultimate goal of Wisdom students.
The fact that Leo used such magic was shocking. Moreover, the magic Leo used was Nightmare, considered the highest difficulty among those magics.
Magic called the strongest illusion magic.
Even among the magic Risinass left behind, its cruelty was exceptional.
The foundation of Nightmare is the curse used by Tartaros Demons, so it couldn’t help but be so.
“Riden?!”
At that moment, Riden flinched at the voice heard from behind.
Siren was standing there.
Seeing Siren, Riden immediately made a wary expression.
Nightmare is illusion magic that makes you fight the opponent you least want to fight.
If someone revealed themselves, they were definitely an enemy.
Siren was the same, but soon the two people who faced each other made puzzled expressions.
“Strange? The opponent I least want to fight isn’t someone like Riden.”
“Oh? I agree with that. I feel the same way.”
“Riden? Siren?”
“How did this happen?”
At that moment, other Wisdom students Peldier and Midaa also revealed themselves.
“Are you saying we fell into the same illusion?”
Riden showed a surprised expression.
“Does that make sense? Nightmare is magic that shows each person’s own thoughts. Even if used on a wide area, you would only face your own thoughts, right?”
When Siren shook her head, Peldier muttered with a serious face.
“Don’t tell me the magic was modified?”
“That’s impossible. For the past 5,000 years, we’ve tried to reinterpret Lord Risinass’s magic, but no one has been able to do it, right?”
It was when Midaa showed a troubled expression.
Step- Step-
Footstep sounds were heard from the space filled only with darkness.
“Chelsea Rwallin, is that you?”
It was when Riden asked toward the other side of the darkness, thinking of Chelsea who had entered the illusion together.
“Sorry, but no.”
A clear voice came from the other side of the darkness.
Step- Step-
The dragons’ eyes widened as they saw the figure emerging through the darkness.
Whoooosh-!
Glossy black hair fluttered in the gentle wind.
A beautiful woman who smoothly swept back her hair while arranging it looked at the dragons.
Siren’s eyes were filled with shock.
“Lord Risinass?”
“How well you know my name, traitors of the clan.”
“Ah…”
The moment she heard Risinass’s words, Siren’s face turned pale.
It wasn’t just Siren.
“Th, that’s impossible.”
“Su, surely. Lord Risinass is the being dragons least want to fight against, but…!”
“We’ve never met Lord Risinass even once!”
The terrifying aspect of Nightmare is that it creates the enemy you least want to fight against, no matter who it is.
In other words, the stronger you are, the stronger the illusion becomes.
But there are also weaknesses.
The range in which illusions appear is limited to opponents you’ve met before.
In such a situation, Risinass had appeared.
The Wisdom students fell into panic.
“Wait, this Nightmare is strange! This must be different magic that looks like Nightmare…!”
Flash-!
It was when Midaa, who had regained her composure, spoke urgently.
As a flash of light flickered, a beam of light pierced through Midaa’s abdomen.
“Huh?”
Gush-!
Midaa, who couldn’t understand the situation, coughed up blood and collapsed.
Thud-!
“First, one down.”
Risinass’s emotionless eyes turned toward the other Wisdom students.
Looking into those eyes, Riden was somehow reminded of Leo using dragon language magic.
The faces of the Wisdom students were colored with fear.
“Everyone… run!”
With Riden’s shout, Siren and Peldier scattered.
Riden carried the fallen Midaa on his back and ran straight into the darkness.
“Not a bad choice when there’s an overwhelming difference in power.”
Risinass spoke with an emotionless face.
“But simply running away in terror is different from planning for the future.”
Risinass’s eyes pierced through the darkness beyond.
“In your case, it seems to be the former.”
***
Riden’s jaw trembled incessantly.
‘That’s not the real Lord Risinass! It’s an illusion!’
If it had been the real Risinass, they wouldn’t have been able to escape and would have all been annihilated on the spot.
But even if it was fake, it was certainly a monster they couldn’t handle.
Riden gritted his teeth as he glanced at his friend hanging limply on his shoulder.
‘I have to run! I have to escape!’
Already in his mind, no thoughts of how to get through this crisis came up.
He was only swept away by endless despair.
At that moment.
Thud-! Thud-!
Siren and Peldier tumbled in front of Riden.
Riden’s face hardened.
“The game of tag is over.”
From the darkness, Risinass with an expressionless face revealed herself.
Riden’s jaw chattered.
And he tried to take his friends away with magic.
Watching such Riden, Risinass curled up the corners of her mouth.
To Riden’s eyes, it felt like mockery.
Mockery toward the fool trying to take away friends who were already dead.
But Riden couldn’t abandon his friends and leave, even if they were corpses.
‘I have to run… somehow I have to escape…!’
He had already forgotten that this was a test.
Because death in Nightmare is real death.
With a terror-stricken face, Riden stepped backward, and as Risinass slowly closed the distance with such Riden.
Whoooosh-!
A gentle breeze blew.
Crash-!
A sharp wind blew and swept away Risinass.
Riden’s eyes widened.
He could see the back of Chelsea, who had revealed herself at some point.
“Chelsea… Rwallin!”
“Quickly take your friends to a safe place and treat them!”
“What?”
“Your friends are still alive!”
At Chelsea’s words, Riden flinched and checked his friends’ condition.
It was certainly true.
All of them had avoided vital spots and escaped instant death.
Of course, even so, the fact that they were fatally wounded remained unchanged.
But the powerful life force of dragons was barely holding onto the three lives.
“Hurry!”
“What about you?”
“I’ll try to hold her off somehow!”
“It’s impossible alone!”
“Right! If it were the real Risinass-nim, it would be impossible!”
Chelsea’s fighting spirit flared up slightly.
“But the opponent is fake!”
“I’m real though?”
“No! You’re uglier than Risinass-nim in the portrait I saw! So you must be fake!”
Risinass’s eyes twitched.
Then he curled up the corners of his mouth.
“What an absurd little tomboy.”
With those words, terrifying magical power began pouring out from Risinass’s body.
Seeing this, Chelsea regretted it inwardly.
‘Maybe I shouldn’t have said he was ugly?’
