Chapter 894
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Look at that!Is that a 1st year? Even in our 1st year, we wouldnt fall for such tricks.
The upperclassmen who hadnt yet seen the junior flying up on a dragon spoke cynically.
At Einroguard, tactics like Behind you! Over there! Gasp! Its the Principal! were so simple and classic that they only worked during the first semester of the first year.
However, one by one, the number of upperclassmen looking up at the sky gradually increased.
Eventually, unable to resist, the remaining upperclassmen also raised their heads.
?!!
A d-dragon?!
Of course, one could ask why Einroguard students, who raised and rode numerous magical creatures and a few illegal ones, would be so surprised by such a thing.
But no matter how rare the animals of the Empire were, they were several levels below dragons in terms of status.
Naturally, the meaning of flying up on a dragon was on a completely different dimension.
People who gained recognition and tamed griffins or unicorns occasionally appeared in the Empires newspapers, but those who gained a dragons recognition and rode on its back only appeared in fairy tales and legends.
Are we witnessing something incredible right now?
Someone among the upperclassmen muttered.
Though no one noticed, the fighting had stopped without anyone taking the lead. It was truly a rare occurrence at Einroguard.
Everyone was so captivated by the scene before their eyes that they completely forgot about fighting. It was a scene worthy of such attention.
Was it actually possible to gain a dragons recognition? I thought the rumors were exaggerated
Amazing! I should add this to my thesis and present it later. Ill need to include the juniors testimony too.
If he participates in the ball game tournament like that, would it be considered lese-majeste?
Oh! That adventurer bastard is escaping!
Catch him! Catch him!
Meanwhile, one of the captured adventurers was discovered trying to crawl away and escape.
The upperclassmen hurled curses and fired magic spells wildly.
A legendary scene was being recreated right now, and this tactless intruder!
***
Wait. Your Majesty.
Though Lee Han had been forced onto Jowrins back when she bit down with an ahng and made him ride, he quickly regained his senses as the rushing wind hit his face.
Why?
Um, is it okay for me to ride on your back like this without permission? Isnt this like lese-majeste or sacrilege?
At Lee Hans words, Jowrin snorted.
What nonsense! When Adenart or that that that what was that servants name again?
Gainando.
When Servant-nando carries Lee Han, is that sacrilege?
Thats not the same thing.
See! Lee Han has been deceived by strange rumors!
Jowrins logic was certainly persuasive.
Moreover, this wasnt outside the territory but inside it. The rules within Einroguards territory were a bit different.
Well, its not like the Empires nobles are watching, so maybe there are mitigating circumstances?
Just as Lee Han was about to be convinced, another question arose, so he asked again.
I see. But Your Majesty.
Yes?
When Adenart or Gainando carry me, were all in human form. But youre carrying me in dragon form.
Yes.
I understood that a dragon carrying a person on their back usually signifies strong recognition and support. Was I wrong about this too?
Though dragons were extremely few in number and rare as a species, the legends related to them were abundant and diverse.
As such, Lee Han knew quite a bit about various customs and legends regarding dragons.
One of them was that dragons were very selective about people.
There were even idioms like chosen by a dragon and recognized by a dragon, showing that dragons as a species were known to have very discerning judgment.
Just look at how the Skeleton Principal proudly boasted about learning magic from dragons.
The Skeleton Principal was absolutely not someone who acted humbly anywhere, yet he did so regarding this.
Being recognized by dragons was that significant an achievement.
And when a dragon allowed someone to ride on their back
Wasnt that evidence of strong recognition or support? Did I misunderstand?
Dragon knights didnt appear in legends for no reason.
How common could knights worthy of a dragons recognition and support be?
But seeing Jowrin say this, perhaps the rumors and legends were somewhat exaggerated, and dragons actually carried people on their backs casually when bored.
Uh
Jowrin suddenly trailed off. Lee Han felt a chill run through him.
What? Is the wind cold because were above the mountains?
Your Majesty?
Well that is its not that such customs dont exist
Jowrin, belatedly remembering the Emperor telling her dont let just anyone ride on your back, hemmed and hawed.
Come to think of it, carrying Lee Han in human form versus carrying him in dragon form seemed to have different meanings.
The latter seemed to correspond to much more intense political rhetoric
Your Majesty. Please dont use Einroguard speech patterns.
Lee Han scolded sternly.
It seemed like Jowrin was only learning bad things since coming to Einroguard.
Jo-Jowrin doesnt know what you mean. And even if such customs exist, no one would have seen it!
There were dozens of upperclassmen there.
Look! Theres an intruder over there!
Your Majesty? Your Majesty?
Jowrin pretended not to hear and attempted a steep diving flight.
Lee Han inwardly lamented at Jowrins increasingly cunning behavior.
Should I not have let her into Einroguard?
An already powerful species learning wicked Einroguard deception tactics made him fear for the future.
***
Fine. Lets die together!
Though the Kangles Shadow adventurers had been pathetically defeated by students, they werent without hidden trump cards.
Among them, the craftsman had received several magic items directly from Antagondals. He was particularly recognized among this group of adventurers.
A copper bell tempered with hellfire rang three times before shattering into pieces along with gold.
Then a dimensional gate appeared in mid-air.
Come forth, Demon of Dosanjok!
Be careful! Hes summoning a monster!
The knights and swordsmen, including Professor Ingoldel, immediately formed an encirclement upon sensing the ominous aura.
Sharp hellish blades protruding from the void.
Rough killing intent that distinguished neither friend nor foe.
Anyone could see this was the summoning of a powerful demon at least at legion commander level. Even knights couldnt be careless.
Stop immediately. If you summon a monster of that caliber, you wont escape unharmed either!
From your pompous threats, I can tell youre a knight. Then you shouldnt have chased us. Dont you think?
The few remaining adventurers mockedthe knights stuffy threat.
Telling them to stop a mere demon summoning when facing adventurers who would do anything to survive.
This was why conversations with knights were inevitably frustrating.
If death was the same either way, wasnt it human psychology to take a gamble?
You misunderstood my meaning. Since youve summoned a corrupted monster to this place, I wont give you an easy death. Ill capture you and slice you up starting from your toes! If you want to die comfortably even now, cancel the summoning!
Professor Ingoldels friends were generally all strong and mostly eccentric oddballs.
The adventurers who had been mocking were completely overwhelmed by the killing intent emanating from the White Birch Knights knight.
Its already too late. Look!
-I smell the scent of delicious meat!
A monster made of tens of thousands of blades forcibly tore through the dimensional gate and emerged, roaring triumphantly.
After staying in a hell where only hard metal existed, it had finally crawled out to the surface world filled with living beings.
The adventurers broke out in cold sweat at that aura.
Even though they had summoned it with the intention of dying together, witnessing it directly made fear surge up.
Dont freeze up! The monster has to be dealt with by those Einroguard bastards anyway!
Ingoldel, you chase them! The rest of us will handle him.
The intruders chose to flee.
The knights tried to proceed with hunting and tracking simultaneously.
At this sight, the monster became extremely enraged. How dare these insignificant mortals try to use or ignore it.
Both were unforgivable mortal sins!
-How dare you, I am the Blade Judgm
Damn it, die!
A golden beam struck down directly from the air. It was a breath containing power like the brilliant sun.
Seeing the opponent looked strong, Jowrin first unleashed her breath. This was the teaching she had received from Gonadaltes and the Emperor.
-What do you do when you meet a strong enemy? Hmm First, unleash your breath from a distance.
-Whats next?
-Unleash your breath again.
-And after that?
-Hmm Unleash your breath again and again
-Is Gonadaltes perhaps teasing Jowrin?
-No.
Though it was half-teasing in tone, Gonadaltes didnt lie about such matters.
The Emperor also agreed with Gonadaltes tactics.
Since breath was one of the strongest weapons dragons were born with, it was right to first strike from long range with breath when meeting strong enemies.
A cheat-like absolute technique that could overturn differences in level and experience with a single blow.
That was precisely what breath was.
Kwaaaaaaaang!!!!!
An earthquake occurred along with the thunderous roar. The monster that had just emerged from Dosan Inferno let out a terrible scream at the storm of powerful force that shook its very existence.
The magical power carried in the dragons breath, continuing from ancient times, melted away even the mighty monsters defenses.
-Ugh, uaaah, uaaaaaaaak!
Huff, huff huff. Cant breathe
Your Majesty. Mana! Please take my mana!
As expected, Jowrin, who hadnt fully matured, immediately felt the recoil after her breath.
Seeing Jowrin gasping and suffering, Lee Han quickly transmitted his mana.
Originally, it would be absurd for a human to give mana to a dragon rather than the reverse, but such common sense was ignored in this situation.
Receiving the extremely refined, high-purity mana, Jowrin quickly regained her vigor. She opened her maw wide again and accumulated power that destroyed the laws of the world.
-!!!!!!
The second breath was so loud that it could barely be heard due to ears dulled by the previous noise. Lee Han infused mana again.
Having shot two breaths without getting tired, Jowrin thought she had grown and shouted triumphantly.
Monster! Jowrin will defeat you!
Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Breath from a distance! Only shoot breath from a distance!!
Lee Han was horrified, but the dragon intoxicated by the heat of battle was in a completely excited state. She thrust her front paws savagely forward and tried to tear apart the tattered monster with a steep diving flight.
Knowing well how strong and tenacious the life force of monsters from other dimensions could be, Lee Han immediately drew his staff and chanted an incantation.
Vicious elemental magic pounded the monsters entire body, delivering additional strikes. Despite telekinesis and water orbs tearing through its whole body, the enemy stubbornly writhed.
The desperation and tension of having to completely finish off the opponent before Jowrin collided with it honed Lee Hans concentration to the extreme.
The fingertips of the hand not holding his staff suddenly transformed into lightning.
Crack!
The hand that had been left free to aim telekinetic magic transformed into a bolt of lightning and pierced through the opponent.
It was qualitatively different from the lightning he had shot before. The monster, already in a dying state, burst out a soundless scream at the final blow and breathed its last.
Perkuntras authority!
Though he hadnt noticed while concentrating on the enemy, the magic Lee Han had just cast was Perkuntras authority. He had manifested that authority as magic.
Jowrins strike!
Not knowing the opponent was dead, Jowrin cheerfully swung her front paws. Under the strong wind pressure, the monsters form turned to dust and scattered down.
Jowrin has won!
Your Majesty!
Yes! Lee Han may praise more!
Have you lost your mind!
Why, why???
