The Rebirth Of The Hero’S Party’S Archmage [EN]: Chapter 195

195. The Reincarnated Archmage of the Hero Party-Episode 195 (195/280)

“Dur-Moris, Dragon Slayer. Death to all dragons.”

He wore armor woven from the scales of dragons he had slain and wielded a dragonbone spear forged from the sharpest part of a dragon’s skeleton, the clavicle [collarbone].

“You’re going to settle things? Who are you to say that? Well, it’s dragon hunting time.”

Though his face was hidden by the dragon scale armor covering his entire body, I recognized him instantly.

This guy is the supreme being of the old era, the Dragon Slayer.

Perhaps it’s due to facing such an overwhelming force, but a slight tremor runs through my fingertips.

‘No, it’s not just because of facing a strong enemy.’

Glancing from the front to the right, I see a woman in dirty, shabby clothes.

Is that Millea?

According to Pipi’s explanation, that’s Miria’s sister.

‘She’s wearing the chains Link used on both wrists.’

Bell Curios provides a rough overview.

The magic circle consists of 5 arrays.

The rune symbols used are a combination of the formulaic Rutichen and the forbidden Orbios. Combination ratio 4.4:5.6

Size 28 Axel, range 45 Kimite.

She is being completely eroded by Link’s power.

However, there was one strange thing. It was a 6-star spell close to an art that bound Link’s power to Link’s relic.

On the other hand, the 5-star black magic I just saw was forcibly connecting that power to her body.

‘6-star, who is the caster?’

Zernyx should have only cast a 5-star black magic.

To be able to create such a perfect spell using only the incantation-type Altigma without mixing any forbidden Orbios.

– Rain.

Suddenly, the image of Friede, her red hair fluttering as she playfully smiled, flashed before my eyes.

“Don’t even think about being forgiven.”

I will not forgive your very existence for having insulted Link, Link’s descendants.

“Forgiveness?”

At that moment, a pillar of fire with scorching winds erupted, piercing the ground where the Dragon Slayer stood.

“That’s a load of crap. What right do you have to forgive me?”

The Dragon Slayer dodged it with a light movement, and embers from the pillar of fire rained down on him.

“What orders did you receive from Zernyx to do this kind of thing?”

He didn’t even try to block or avoid the embers that would incinerate his body upon contact.

“Seriously, I’m dumbfounded. Do I look like I’m at a level to take orders from that kind of guy?”

He just leisurely tapped his shoulder with the dragonbone spear. The embers shattered futilely on his dragon scale armor.

“This Arthur Brius takes orders from someone higher than Zernyx!”

Shouldn’t the damage be dispersed?

Does that mean only a concentrated 5-star magic can be an effective hit…?

Thinking that, I shattered the magic circle rotating on my palm.

“Jesuseoran Yeon, Modified.”

What soared up with a whirlwind of flames were twelve chains, and those chains pierced the souls of the Slayer boy soldiers.

“The children… are falling?”

The special task force mages, who were struggling to subdue the boy soldiers, muttered blankly.

“It’s not outside the island. Take them inside that ziggurat [an ancient Mesopotamian temple tower]!”

“……?”

“There are many people inside there that we need to protect! I’ll protect the ziggurat, so you guys─”

There’s no way he would quietly watch that.

Absolute power was dazzlingly concentrated on the blade of the dragonbone spear, and when he swung it with all his might, it came crashing down as a thunderous aura.

Sumhwatheon Gyeokpo, I immediately countered that wave of power with the newly created dragon’s breath.

‘Of course.’

Amidst the fierce winds caused by the collision of thunder and fire.

‘There’s no way it’ll end here.’

Pajijik…… With the sound of electricity crackling, the Dragon Slayer closed the distance of over twenty steps in an instant, at a speed that defied common sense.

I twisted my body.

The dragonbone spear pierces the spot where my head was just a moment ago. That simple stab creates a wind pressure that makes it difficult to even stand.

“Now I understand for sure!”

As the dragonbone spear and the staff of flames collided, a sense of crushing weight, as if my tendons would snap, covered both arms.

“Even before you had the power of the dragon, no, from the moment you were born, you had overwhelming talent. Just like me!”

Close combat is clearly disadvantageous.

The difference in strength is several dozen times.

I need to create distance.

“You’re the same type of human as me. You have an infinite thirst for power. That’s why you killed the dragon and stole the Orb!”

Killed and stole?

That conjecture elicited a cynical sneer.

“Steal this power? You think I look that strong? The Dragon Slayer is not as great as I thought. Did you only catch weak dragons?”

“Haha, just because I gave you a compliment, you’re talking nonsense so presumptuously.”

“This power was given to me. Along with a new life.”

Yes, I received it with pure kindness, even though I didn’t deserve it.

– Rain Ludwig, you have the same scent as Carendin.

In the face of the absolute despair called Shar’Kars, he merely gave up his own life and ignited a new flame in mine.

– I entrust this daughter of Alakish to you.

The strong people I’ve met so far all have a unique scent.

“I’m not strong. Not in the past, and not now.”

Headmaster, Rista, Friede, Kies, Link, Alakish, Nils…….

“And neither are you.”

Looking at their backs, leaving a scent even in the places they briefly stayed, I feel admiration.

“You’re not strong. Dragon Slayer, my ass. You’re just a nobody who only knows how to trample.”

This is not an opponent to be careless with. I’m going all out from the start.

Mental Imagery Construction, Hwachangmyeong Yuryangsejon [a powerful magic technique].

As the ultimate of magic, known as the symbol of the wise, the fire array spread out, engulfing the area.

“Mental Imagery Construction, huh.”

In contrast to Doran’s shaking eyes.

“To a mage─”

The Dragon Slayer rushed in with a speed that only showed electricity in his trajectory.

“─You think I’ll give you time to do nonsense!”

That’s exactly what I was aiming for.

In an instant, pillars of fire erupt from the runes of Yu(流) [Flow] and Jon(尊) [Respect].

Bang(防) [Defense] and Bang(方) [Direction]. A wall of fire blocking the Dragonbone Spear’s strike, thrust with transcendental weight.

‘And one more. Yeol(列) [Array], San(散) [Scatter], Sap(鈒) [Pierce].’

Constructing magic of a widely deployed and dispersed nature beyond the wall of fire.

“──!”

As hundreds of fireballs rained down, striking the dragon scales, Arthur’s eyes widened.

‘What kind of casting speed is this……!’

Among the battle mages I’ve met on the battlefield, has there ever been anyone who could use magic at this speed?

‘It’s not just simple defense, there’s something he’s aiming for.’

He’s trying to bind the Demon Slayer who charged from the opposite side with a binding spell. Does he have a way to break the brainwashing?

I can’t let that happen.

Electricity crackled fiercely on the surface of the dragonbone spear, and a golden aura covered the blade. Then, the electric spear pierced the wall of fire.

“I told you!”

I instinctively raised my staff, but it wasn’t a strike that a mage’s strength could block.

“I said I’d equip myself and take care of you properly!”

The moment I sensed a fierce impact striking my arm bones, my body was flying through the air.

As if not even giving me time to roll on the dirt floor, there was a heavy shadow looming over my head.

The moment I stretched out the staff I was holding with both hands, a weight as if being struck with a boulder slammed into my shoulder bones.

“For a mage, you were fun to fight, but somehow, you’re below expectations.”

In the pain that felt like my shoulder was dislocated, chills ran from my spine to my neck.

Where did she go?

Millea, who I had bound with Jesuseoran Yeon, is nowhere to be seen.

Kigigigigigiging──.

Instead, the sound of metal scraping the ground, flying from afar, eerily brushed past my ears.

“One hit from that chain won’t pierce dragon scales. But you, without any armor!”

Damn it. This is crazy.

I have to get away, I have to get out of here.

But there’s no way I can beat a warrior in a power struggle. It’s not a weight or standard that I can shake off or push away.

“Kkeueueueu…… Aaaaaaa!”

Pipi, with her wings of fire spread, swooped down towards him, but another stream of fire covered Pipi, diverting her trajectory.

“Good job, Bisl.”

It was the Dragon Slayer’s companion bird, the Beast Slayer.

“The Sun Parakeet isn’t just yours, you know?”

Pipi’s painful cries cut into my skin more cruelly than my own pain.

“Bisl is a Sun Parakeet that has been rolling around on the battlefield for nearly 10 years! Even if she’s the same species, a greenhouse flower like that is no match!”

The metallic sound of the chain, approaching to a distance where cold sweat dripped down, grew closer.

Pipi’s heat gradually faded away.

The moment the staff slowly gave way and the blade covered in aura rushed before my eyes.

“Aki Punch.”

A strike in a completely close state, dragon fire exploded from the fist that touched the dragon scales.

If it were the fire of an adult dragon, it would have burned away the very establishment of whatever it touched, but Aki, still a juvenile, doesn’t have that kind of power.

All I can do now is blow him far away, but in this situation, that alone is enough.

“What is this─?!”

The Dragon Slayer, pushed away by the explosion, rolled on the ground.

“Ababat!”

“No, Aki! Don’t come here!”

The chain rushes towards Aki, who is running towards Rain in that gap.

“─Seojin Style 7th Form.”

A mage in an old fedora, blocking Rain and Aki, blocks that chain.

As soon as a snowflake magic circle spread on the ground where he stood, the chain that should have crushed Rain into a lump of flesh bounced off.

The secret art of Seojin Style, the principle of converting physical laws formed by runes, an ultimate technique that converts the amount of damage into the amount of attack.

“We’ll subdue that one. Rain Wizard, please focus on that monster!”

Doran Slade.

And from behind the barrier on the other side, Valencidith, supported by Cora, waved his fan.

The Demon Slayer’s knees were cut off just as he was about to unleash his second strike.

“…….”

He collapses to the ground, but tendons and blood vessels sprout from the severed surface, and his body is instantly restored.

‘If he can use Link’s power as it is, that super regeneration ability will continue while he’s in a frenzy.’

Doran and Valencidith are clearly at their limit, it’s a wonder they’re even moving.

If I can’t end this quickly, we’ll be annihilated.

At the same time as a feeling of flames flickering inside the dislocated shoulder bone, I felt the bone being joined and the tendons being restored.

‘Is Alakish’s will telling me to fight?’

Is she pushing me from behind?

Doran dodges and parries the Demon Slayer’s chains, which dominate the vast space and fly incessantly.

‘He’s truly a master of incredible martial arts…….’

Valencidith skillfully jumps through dimensions every time an attack comes, then buys time by severing his feet.

Doran defends, and Valencidith attacks?

I watched that for about 2 seconds and turned my head to Aki.

“Aki, never come to the front.”

“Ttat?”

“Only come out when you think I’m really in danger, like just now. Got it?”

I can’t drag Aki into a dangerous fight…… Before I could finish that sentence, I grabbed the back of Aki’s neck.

At the same time as throwing Aki back, I deployed the magic that the amount(量) of the Mental Imagery Barrier had calculated.

I blocked the dragonbone spear that he threw with a fire spear, and at the same time, rolled my body back to secure distance.

Kagagagang…… A chain flying from the right.

Peoeong…… Doran blocks it.

Kigigiging…… A chain that soared vertically and then slammed into the ground.

While dodging that attack diagonally, the Dragon Slayer’s figure turned into lightning.

Before I even had time to tremble, I simultaneously summoned chains of fire throughout the Mental Imagery Barrier.

Those chains wrapped around the blade of the dragonbone spear, which had somehow rushed right in front of me.

“You think this kind of binding will work on this Dragon Slayer!”

It was only for a moment that I confirmed that he was holding the dragonbone spear with one hand.

‘This is.’

It was also only for a moment that I confirmed the golden blade, the Mind Sword, being woven from the hand that released the spear.

‘The supreme being’s strategy.’

That one is coming.

Cold sweat chills my back.

The quick sword technique that instantly tore through dimensions into countless branches is coming.

“I’ll finish you off, Half-Dragon.”

It was at that very moment, just as the blade of lightning was about to dance from his fingertips.

“Dragon Slayer!”

A sharp metallic sound seemed to pierce my ears, and a wire with weights attached wrapped around his arm.

Miria.

It wasn’t possible to completely suppress the strength to wield that crazy weight of a spear, but it was enough to twist the trajectory of the strike.

Chachachachachachachachang!

The next moment, twelve streams of light swirled before my eyes, tearing the dimension apart.

“What……!”

The trajectory of the strike that chills the heart…… The power that would have easily dismembered my body if the control had been off by even a little.

But with this, thanks to Miria, the right to attack has returned to me.

I cross both hands and activate all the runes of Yu(流) [Flow], Ryang(量) [Quantity], and Jon(尊) [Respect] in the Mental Imagery Barrier.

“Rune Inscription Multiple Conversion, Fire(火), Field(場), Throw(投), Fall(落), Flash(剡) [These are all concepts related to fire and attack].”

Converting as many as five of the seven Jesuseoran Yeon that were wrapped around the dragonbone spear into Hwajangbanghyeol [a powerful fire magic technique].

‘I’ll end it.’

Since both are the same 5-star magic, the time it takes to convert is only 2 seconds.

‘I’ll end it here.’

Even the chains of Jesuseoran Yeon, breaking one by one with physical force alone, and until the owner of that dragonbone spear, who is rushing in, is showered with lightning.

“End it, Rain!”

The rampage of fire that burns everything that makes up all things in the universe, Spirit(靈), Flesh(肉), and Form(狀), and returns it to ashes.

Lightning manifested from the source of fire.

The power with extreme destructive force struck the ground in the form of lightning.
