731.

Leo let out a deep sigh as he looked at Risinass glaring at him with murderous eyes.

‘I should wait until he calms down a bit first.’

There was no way to have a proper conversation with Risinass when his anger had reached its peak.

Based on past experience, his anger would subside to some degree after a little while.

‘Besides… what Risinass is using right now is Chloe’s body.’

If it were Risinass’s original body, it might be different.

But punches and kicks from Chloe’s body, a pure mage who couldn’t handle aura or summoning arts, didn’t seem like they would hurt.

Compared to a dragon’s robust body, a human’s body would be frail.

‘Well, even if he uses magic, I should be able to block it.’

Thud- Thud-

What woke Leo from his thoughts was the sound of Risinass’s footsteps.

Swish-

Risinass unbuttoned his collar, and finding the school uniform necktie neatly tied around his neck bothersome, he pulled it loose and then tied up Chloe’s long hair tightly.

Both Selia and Chloe were famous as flawless honor students known for their proper attire and behavior.

But compared to Risinass, they were at a cute level.

The fact that such a Risinass was disheveling his clothes to that extent was proof of how angry he was.

Leo smiled as he watched Risinass roll up his sleeves.

Seeing that, Risinass’s eyes twitched.

“You’re laughing? Do you think I’m a pushover right now?”

“No. It’s just that in the old days, I used to flinch a little when you got angry.”

“For someone like that, you sure talked back quite well, didn’t you?”

Harsh words spilled from Risinass’s mouth.

His expression became even more menacing.

In contrast to Leo who smiled when angry, Risinass’s expression turned menacing when he got angry.

And Kail was the only person who could make Risinass this angry.

With Luna, they were usually the closest of friends.

Though they occasionally bickered, that was just simple differences of opinion.

There was no growling at each other like with Kail.

Rather, Risinass and Luna secretly admired each other.

Luna admired Risinass’s dignified appearance that made people follow him and brought hope even in desperate situations.

Risinass admired Luna’s cheerful and free-spirited nature that always made people laugh even in difficult situations.

Because they had strongly admired each other’s qualities that they themselves lacked, there was no reason to fight.

In Dweno’s case too, except when talking about nude models, they respected each other so there was no reason to fight, and it was the same with Arron.

To Risinass, Arron was the youngest member of the party who needed to be looked after, like a younger brother, and Arron unconditionally followed whatever Risinass said.

Only Kail made Risinass angry.

And that was one of Risinass’s true aspects.

The weight of the world is heavy.

Even more so if it’s a world heading toward destruction.

That’s why Risinass was conscious of others’ gazes.

He never showed a relaxed appearance in front of others.

A sorrowful appearance.

A tired and struggling appearance.

A laughing and chattering appearance.

He couldn’t easily show any of it.

Risinass was also a being with emotions.

He cried when sad, rested when tired and struggling, and laughed when joyful and happy.

But from the moment he shouldered the burden of a world heading toward destruction, he could no longer carelessly show such aspects in front of others.

He had to show the appearance of a wise king who led the world toward hope without wavering, anytime and anywhere.

Because only then could he provide unwavering faith.

Because being swayed by emotions might appear weak.

Thus, Risinass had always deceived people with a false appearance.

A con artist who told well-intentioned lies.

Shouldering the world meant being such a thing.

But the only time such a Risinass showed an emotional side was when he got angry at Kail.

How infuriating the surviving hero Kail’s wickedness and sharpness could be was famous even in Gardstron.

And getting angry at Kail was also one of the few moments when Risinass could be most like himself.

Because it was the only time he could be completely honest with his emotions.

“Now that I look at it, your angry face is cute.”

Looking with a bit more leisure, that thought occurred to him.

At Leo’s words, Risinass hesitated.

“Cute?”

He furrowed his brow.

But his momentum softened a little.

‘Ah. How annoying.’

He hated himself for feeling better at Leo’s honest reaction, but it wasn’t entirely unpleasant either.

To such a Risinass, Leo said.

“Yeah. Now that I see it, that Chloe kid has a cute angry face.”

“…”

Watching Leo once again plunge his mood into the abyss, Risinass asked back.

“So you’re saying Chloe is cute?”

“So what?”

“Right. I was wrong to expect anything from an idiot like you.”

Watching that, Leo scratched his cheek.

‘Should I stop teasing him?’

He was sincere about thinking Risinass looked cute.

It was natural to feel that way since he seemed less dangerous.

‘I’m pretty twisted inside too.’

Just as Leo chuckled and was about to speak.

Whoosh-!

“…?”

In the blink of an eye, Risinass had reached right in front of Leo.

“What?”

Leo’s eyes widened at the speed that exceeded his expectations.

In that moment, Risinass’s fist struck Leo’s abdomen.

Thwack-!

Crackle-

Cold air exploded from the fist, sending Leo’s body flying.

Thud! Thud! Whoooosh-!

Leo, who had rolled across the corridor floor several times, barely managed to regain his balance and stand.

‘That speed just now?’

No matter that it was Risinass who had entered Chloe’s body, Chloe’s physical form had its limits.

But Risinass’s speed just now was at a level that far exceeded Leo’s expectations.

‘Did he move to the point of straining the body? No, no matter how angry he is, Risinass wouldn’t damage someone else’s body…’

Having thought that far, Leo suddenly felt that the floor was slippery.

Seeing the floor that had become an ice rink, Leo made a strange expression.

‘Did he slide?’

The moment he grasped the true nature of that fast speed.

Risinass slid across the ice toward Leo.

Ice blades like skate blades were attached under his shoes.

“This hurts more than I thought…”

Swoosh-!

Seeing Risinass closing the distance at tremendous speed once again, Leo hastily drew his sword.

Clang-!

The ice blade beneath his feet crossed with Leo’s sword.

In an instant, Leo’s body was pushed back.

Whoosh-!

‘Gravity magic.’

He had increased the gravity at his toes for a moment.

Using that weight, he slid at tremendous speed and delivered that impact directly to Leo.

Crack crack crack-!

Leo stabbed his sword into the ground to stop sliding and looked straight ahead.

Risinass’s figure had already disappeared.

‘He didn’t move quickly. Spatial movement magic?’

But he couldn’t feel the unique mana fluctuations of spatial movement magic.

Leo, who had been sharpening his senses keenly, suddenly turned around.

“Grit your teeth! You damn bastard!”

Thwack-!

Risinass’s fist, appearing from behind, struck Leo’s jaw.

This caused Leo’s body to float up.

“This is…!”

Just as Leo was about to counterattack from the shocking blow that made his head ring.

Sizzle-!

Chloe’s body was sucked into the ice floor as if being absorbed.

Seeing this, Leo’s face hardened.

‘The magic Luna created for Chloe.’

Magic that allows the user to momentarily enter the Spirit Realm.

He could understand how Risinass had been able to evade his senses.

He had momentarily spiritualized his body and moved through the ice.

Risinass, called the strongest Spirit Mage in history, had perfectly mastered that magic with Chloe’s body.

Thud- Stagger!

Leo, who barely managed to stand in place, felt his legs giving out.

‘I underestimated him.’

His opponent was none other than Risinass.

One who stood at the pinnacle of summoning arts.

Moreover, his knowledge of magic was deeper than his own, if not equal, but certainly not shallow.

It was only natural that such a Risinass could draw out Chloe’s potential to its maximum.

‘I shouldn’t have taken him lightly.’

Whoosh-

Flame aura burst forth from Leo’s body.

Leo’s eyes flashed with red light as he struck the ground with the flame aura bursting from his hands.

Crack crack crack-!

The ice sheet began to crack and soon the ice started melting.

At the same time, Risinass revealed himself behind Leo.

Grab-!

Risinass embraced Leo from behind.

Hiss- Sizzle-

Then tremendous cold began freezing Leo’s body.

Grab-! Whoosh-!

Leo grabbed Risinass’s neck and breathed out flames.

Risinass, with a cold expression, concentrated cold energy at his fingertips and shook off Leo’s hand.

Hiss-!

Ice and flames met, producing thick steam that covered the surroundings.

Leo freed his frozen body and brushed off the frost clinging to his clothes here and there.

Risinass rubbed his neck where Leo had grabbed him, then extended his hand.

Sizzle-!

Risinass, who had created an ice sword, gripped the sword and aimed it at Leo.

“Right, you want to fight properly?”

Seeing this, Leo sneered, and Risinass scoffed.

The killing intent emanating from both clashed.

Sizzle-

Cracks began forming on the walls from their aura alone.

Watching this from afar, Chen Xia wore a serious expression.

‘This really seems like it could become a big problem.’

But this was a fight between Great Heroes.

She didn’t dare try to stop it.

‘There’s only one person who could stop this fight.’

Dragon Lord, Mellina.

‘Where on earth is Professor Mel?’

Chen Xia waited anxiously for Mel, but there was no sign of Mellina coming.

***

“H-how is it?”

When En asked cautiously, Mel smiled brightly.

“It’s so good! The combination of Lord Risinass’s beautiful black hair and white flowers will look perfect together!”

A beautifully decorated room.

Neither too extravagant nor lacking.

The elegant room even felt sacred.

The two Dragons, unaware of the situation, were busy decorating the room with all their might so their great ancestor could be pleased.
