Man is infinite, and his ambition is to slay the dragon
Page 321
Standing on the top of the palace to maintain the barrier, Irene and Lucy looked up at the doomsday scene in the sky, and both felt a strong awe for Sieg’s strength in their hearts.
Sieg is very strong, Lucy and Irene know this very well. After all, he had killed all the dragons that wanted to invade Dragnov by himself before. But none of them thought that Sieg could actually do such a thing!
“…”
Lucy had given up on marveling at Sieg’s strength. She felt that there was probably no such thing as an upper limit to Sieg’s strength. Every time she thought Sieg had given his all, he would be able to give out even greater strength the next time.
Perhaps his power is truly unlimited?
No matter what Sieg does from now on, Lucy probably won’t find it strange.
And Irene stared at the scene outside the barrier, with a hint of anticipation and admiration flickering in her eyes.
“The power of God?”
For Irene, this was a sight she had never seen before.
She once thought that the power of dragons was the strongest power in the world, and that dragons were the strongest creatures in the world.
However, Sieg had shown her power far exceeding that of a dragon twice!
He can slaughter all the dragons by himself, and even accomplish such a great feat that perhaps only God can do!
“Sieg… No, maybe he really is… God?”
A god who exists specifically to slay dragons!
This scene now is the power of God!
……
Sieg outside the barrier naturally had no idea about the change in Irene’s opinion, as he was now completely focused on Aldolon.
The two moves [Domineering Heavenly Star] and [Domineering Demonic Star] are considered the same move, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.
For example, the advantage of [Magic Star] is that it can be used anytime and anywhere, but its disadvantage is that it consumes a lot of magic power. Not only does it need to create the [Magic Star], but it also needs to use gravity magic to give it enough destructive power.
The magic consumption of [Bad Star] is much smaller. As long as there are meteorites that can be pulled down from outer space, this move can be used continuously. The magic consumption rate is slightly faster than Sieg’s magic recovery rate. As for the disadvantages…
(It’s almost unusable.)
Sieg frowned slightly.
This is the shortcoming of [Domineering Star]. It is actually an ammunition-type move. Once there are no meteorites that can be pulled down within the range of gravity magic, this move will be useless.
And it is like this now. Maybe there were not so many meteorite fragments in the universe 400 years ago? Sieg has only pulled down about 30 now, and Tyrant Star is almost unusable – not to mention space junk. Who would expect these ancient people 400 years ago to be able to create space junk?
(If I can’t use Tyrannical Star, the suppression power will be greatly weakened, so the next step is——)
Just as Sieg was thinking about how to continue suppressing Aldoron, Aldoron, who had been enduring the bombardment of meteorites and thunder below, felt the impact of the meteorites disappear at that moment –
“BOOM————————!!!”
Violent magic power bursts out instantly!
The entire land was suddenly occupied by its magic power. Under the bombardment of thunder and meteorites, the affected ground was instantly shattered into pieces. In the cracks that covered the vast land with a radius of hundreds of kilometers, accompanied by the tremors and roars of the earth, one towering tree after another broke out of the ground and rushed into the sky!
Rather than saying they were giant trees, it would be more accurate to say they were super-giant sword trees with their heads cut into extremely sharp points. The diameter of each tree was almost as wide as the entire city of Dragnov!
“Bang bang bang bang bang————————!!!”
Hundreds of giant sword trees rushed into the sky!
It was so fast that it reached the height where Sieg and Selene were in an instant!
“Selene, back off!”
“I know!”
There was no need for Sieg to remind her. Selene herself did not want to be hit by Aldolon’s attack. Her graceful body was covered by the magic of the moon, and the whole dragon instantly turned into a ray of moonlight, shuttling back and forth among the large number of giant sword trees to avoid it!
Looking up at the flickering moonlight in the sky, Aldolon said in a deep voice: “You can’t dodge them all, Selene. These sword trees will catch you sooner or later and squeeze out all your space for movement.”
“And when you can no longer dodge—”
Magic power gathered in Aldolon’s chest.
There was no difference from the surface of the tree, as if a cannon-like hole appeared on the chest of Aldolon, which was like the tree itself, aiming at Selene, who had been forced into nowhere to escape by the increasing number of sword trees.
“——You can also become my nourishment.”
“Bang————!”
A cannonball.
A cannonball made of wood that was much harder than normal suddenly shot out from the muzzle!
Sieg, who was always keeping an eye on Aldolon, immediately stretched out his hands.
——【True Ancestor Magic】!
——【King Kong of the Divine Sheep】!
“Boom————————————————!!!”
The diamond barrier formed at the critical moment instantly collided with the deadly artillery fire!
The violent impact and terrifying power caused the already greatly increased strength of the diamond barrier to vibrate wildly. The high-speed rotating shells continued to drill and grind the barrier itself! A large amount of debris flew everywhere, and a heavy rain of diamond chips rolled up in the sky!
(This blow… is a bit heavy!)
Trying his best to maintain the existence of the barrier, Sieg gritted his teeth.
(But it’s not to the point where I can’t handle it!)
——【True Ancestor Magic】
——[Amber of the Bull-Head King]!
“Drink~~~Ha————————!!!”
The extreme explosive power that was released in an instant instantly raised Sieg’s state to 120%! Seizing the moment when the strength exceeded the limit, Sieg directly raised the strength of the reflection barrier to the limit!
“Bang————!!!”
The shell bounced back on the spot!
Aldolon quickly raised a large number of trees to use as shields, but how could his hastily erected defenses be able to block his own powerful attack?
“Crack, crack, crack, crack————————!!!”
The wooden shields were shattered one after another.
The reflected shell was like a meteor falling from the sky, landing accurately on Aldolon’s chest!
“BOOM————————————————!!!”
In an instant, the vast land with cracks centered on Aldoron collapsed and shattered, and then it seemed to have lost its support and sank for a considerable distance! Even the more distant land was shaken by an earthquake! The distant sea even raised huge waves because of the vibration!
Neither Sieg nor Aldoron stopped attacking.
“Hualalalalala——————————!!!”
Tens of thousands of spikes grew out from Aldolon’s body, turning into a storm that rushed straight into the sky!
“Buzz————————————!!!”
In the crimson flash, a super vibration wave burst out from Sieg’s palm, shattering everything!
The devastating impact once again swept the entire earth!
26. Endure for up to three years
At the same time that Sieg and Aldoron were fighting 400 years ago.
400 years later [now], in the capital of the Kingdom of Fiore, Crocus, Stella walked through the crowd, entered an alley and opened the door at the end. She was in the royal city the previous second and returned directly to the meeting room of the Climbheed.
Seeing her come back, Himeragi Yukina, who had been here for a long time, immediately stepped forward and said, “Welcome back, Sister Stella. Are you done with work?”
“Well, I just didn’t expect that I have to pick up all the negotiation skills I learned before after not being a princess for so many years~~~~Griffith, can’t you go by yourself?”
“I only know how to negotiate by force. Besides, there is nothing much to discuss between me and the Kingdom of Fiore.”
Griffith, who was not far away, said calmly, “So, what’s the result of the negotiation? Did you apply for all our needs?”
“Of course~~~!”
Stella made an OK gesture.
It has been a month since Sieg and Lucy went back to 400 years ago through the Eclipse Gate. During this month, Stella and others who were left behind 400 years ago began to study how to bring Sieg and Lucy back from 400 years ago as agreed before.
Although Lucy also went back to 400 years ago, which was different from what was expected, it was only one more person, so it wasn’t a big deal.
Then, after a month of research, under the leadership of Griffith and Carula, two time magic users, and with the assistance of Brunhilde and Em, they finally determined a rough framework. As long as a few conditions were met, Sieg and others who went back 400 years ago could be brought back successfully.
One of them is [Sufficient Magic Power].
Of course, it is not enough to pay the magic power of one or two people. According to the calculation of the Krinshid, in order to complete the super-time and space magic to bring the two people back, it requires at least 10 billion people’s magic power, and this is not the limit, it is just the minimum. If you want to be safe, then 20 billion people’s magic power is more appropriate.
Such a huge amount of magic power cannot be gathered in a short time. Even for the Krenshid, when the energy is fully charged, it is only equivalent to the magic power of 100 million people. Not to mention that in order to allow Sieg to open the Eclipse Gate, the Krenshid’s magic power has been consumed a lot and is still slowly recovering.
Therefore, in order to raise this huge amount of magic power, Stella went to negotiate with the Kingdom of Fiore on behalf of the Crimsheed.
“Before the next Grand Magic Fighting Martial Arts Competition begins, the venue will be renovated so that every magician who participates in the Grand Magic Fighting Martial Arts Competition will lose some of their magic power without noticing. Considering the flow of people during the Grand Magic Fighting Martial Arts Competition and the magicians’ fighting situations, ideally, it will take 10 years to collect enough magic power, right?”
“Ten years?”
Himeragi Yukina frowned: “Isn’t it too long?”
“I thought so too. It’s only been a short while since I started dating Sieg, and now we’re in a 10-year long-distance relationship… No, this is a long-distance relationship that transcends time and space. This is too much!”
Stella slammed the table hard.
It is said that once you have tasted the marrow, you will know the taste. She has endured for almost 10 years, but now she has to wait for another 10 years. Are you kidding me?
“So in addition to the Grand Magic Battle, we also have several other plans to collect magic power.” Griffith knocked on the table. “The Magic Council on this continent has a large number of ancient magic weapons. One of them is called [Magic Spirit Power], which has the magic power to destroy a country.”
“The Council has many magical weapons like this, and there are many potential sources of magic power on this planet. Therefore, in the next few years, in addition to the fixed source of magic power from the Grand Magic Fighting Performance, we will also need to travel to various parts of the continent to collect magic power.”
“To do this, we first need to form a guild.”
Form a union?
Stella raised an eyebrow: “…a cover?”
“Well, there are countless wizard guilds on this continent. It doesn’t matter if there is one more or one less. With the help of the wizard guild, we can continue to accept commissions and go to various places on the continent. Of course, it’s not just us. Ms. Edwards and others in the western continent will also contribute.”
“If possible, I hope you can provide magic power to the magic power absorption device once a month, just like those Flame Night Lords.”
The six Flame Night Creatures that are still on the Crinshid are the few stable sources of magic power for the Crinshid. The reason why the Crinshid can still float in the sky is that in the past month, they provided the magic power that allowed the Crinshid to take off again.
Stella nodded slightly: “That’s no problem – then how do we build a guild? Build a big guild like Fairy Tail?”
“No, our guild will not be hiring, and we have purposes other than accepting commissions, so we can just set up a small independent guild. The members will be you, Ms. Himeragi, Ms. Todou, and Ms. Saikyo.”
Stella, Touhua Toudou, Setsuna Himeragi and Nin Saikyo, these are the only people who can get off the ship and carry out activities.
As for Sarah…it’s pure dreaming to expect her, a otaku who stays in the studio painting all day, to come out and take on the task.
But just as Griffith finished speaking, the door of the conference room was opened again, and Toudou Daohua walked in: “About this, I’m sorry, I probably can’t join a new guild. After all, I’m a member of Fairy Tail now, and it’s not good to quit the guild casually.”
“But even so, I will help collect mana, and let them join the new guild as my replacement.”
As Dao Hua’s voice fell, two figures appeared in the eyes of Stella and the others.
It’s Urrutia and Melty.
Ever since they were captured by Sieg and brought back to the Crest, these two remnants of the Devil’s Heart have become de facto public slaves of the Crest – of course, this is only in terms of identity and nature. In fact, Stella and others did not use them much. At most, they just threw some unimportant tasks to them to deal with.
There is no beating, no scolding, and no bullying. The children are provided with excellent food and accommodation. Except that they are not allowed to leave the restricted area at will and have to be available at any time, there are almost no restrictions.
“Let them both join…”
Glancing at the two people standing behind Daohua, Stella pursed her lips and said, “Well, that’s fine. They are both locals and were members of the Devil’s Heart before. They should know a lot about powerful sources of magic power. Then we can find some time to establish the guild.”
“Let me think about it… Let’s try to bring Sieg and Lucy back from 400 years ago within three years!”
Three years. This is the limit of what Stella can endure now.
She misses Sieg in every way!
Looking at the somewhat unsatisfied Stella, Daohua and the others looked at each other, and they all saw a bit of helplessness in each other’s eyes.
However, Daohua can understand Stella.
