318-312 Rising dragon




 Lord Leinster casually snapped his fingers, and in an instant, the world changed.
 It wasn't a metaphor; just a moment ago the sky would have been blue and the area around them would have been empty and grassy, but now they were on a craggy rocky terrain that looked like the foot of the Dragon's Valley.

''Let's get started. Then you can start with whatever weapon you want to use and come at me.
 Lord Leinster smiled and told him so with a smirk, so he tried to go as fast as he could and was dissuaded.

''Um, can you use the power of a dragon in this space?''
''Ah~ I think you've fundamentally misunderstood, but both the power of the dragon and the power of the spirits are engraved in your soul, so if you're getting the blessing, then that power is already yours.''
 So is it available? I was skeptical, but I decided to use my power as it was.

'Holy Dragon, protect yourself. Wind Dragon, the wind barrier to protect me from everything. Thunder dragon, the power to leave everything behind.
 It seems that what Lord Leinster had said was correct, and as usual, I was able to get the power of the dragon to help me.

 I slashed at Lord Leinster with my illusory sword.
 And then, unexpectedly, I really slashed him as it was--.

 No, since this world is not broken, it's fake.
 I immediately concluded that the person I cut down was the afterimage of Lord Leinster, so I immediately looked for traces of Lord Leinster, but I couldn't find any.

 If that's the case, I used the power of the wind dragon to send a slash through the air.
 Then there was a place where the slash was unnaturally interrupted.

 He released the Flame Dragon Sword with all his might, saying that it was useless to try to search for it against an opponent who didn't feel any magic power or signs.
 And when the flame dragon bit into something invisible, the sound came back.

''How did you manage to repel an evil god once with it?
What?
 The Lord Leinster I cut down began to speak.

'No, that's a water doll made of fire and water attributes.
 Then this time I heard a voice from behind me, so I turned around and saw Lord Leinster standing there, unchanged from before.

''That was an application of loudspeaker magic using wind magic, but isn't it known to the world right now?''
What do you think? I just hadn't heard of it in the eight years I've been here.
 The only time we talked about anything magic related was when we were really in Nerdal.

''Well well then, let's have a close call this time. You can come at me at any time.
 Then a nondescript sword appeared out of nowhere, but you can't be too careful.

 But you can't be so careless.
 This is because the opponent is an entity that stopped someone who could not be defeated even if all the masters were added together.
''I'm going.''

 I must have changed a lot from when I was on Earth, as I began to point my blade at my opponent's vital points without hesitation.
 If I hadn't done so, I wouldn't have made it this far.

 I intend to throw everything I've learned from my masters into this moment and unleash a series of blows.
 But Lord Leinster only watches my movements with a cool face.
 And just as he was about to aim at the spot where there was an opening in my neck, I had a bad feeling and jumped back.

Hmmm, I see. You have a solid foundation in swordsmanship and bodywork, and you also have the instinct not to attack an opponent just because they have an opening.
What have you found out?
 I can't help but be curious about the mumbling critiques.

''We've got a solid foundation, so let's learn about magic first.
Study...?
 It was something else. It really was other than that. I thought all strong people were battle crazies, but they said they usually taught me.

''Right. Let's throw away all the stereotypes we have now, for once?
'Well, it's not that easy to say...'
'It certainly is, isn't it? So I'm going to give you a look at my magic from now on and understand that it's just normal magic.
We'll try, sir.
 I guess that's what they say, "A picture is worth a thousand words".
 It's really good to see a picture is better than a hundred words.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one who can do this. [Dragonic Fire]
 I thought I was suddenly poisoned, but that emotion quickly disappeared.

 A magic circle was formed where Lord Leinster extended his arm, and when he muttered the name of his magic with a chant break, a flame dragon flew out of the magic circle.
 Moreover, it was much larger than the flame dragon sword that I unleashed with all my might.

''No, no, as expected, with my current ability, I don't think I can release that flaming dragon?''
'That's exactly what I'm talking about. I've been shown what you can do, Luciel, and this is the least you can do? And then I released it. Maybe I can release a bigger one than that. For example, when I release [Dragonic Fire]
"Guagoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
 Then a flame dragon comparable to the real one rose from the magic circle to the sky.

''Well, you're not going to point that thing at me, are you?''
'Hahaha. Until you grow up, Luciel.
 I didn't think that a despair as great as the one I met with the evil god was waiting for me down the road.
 And first of all, I had to be shown Lord Leinster's magic, and all of it was on the premise that it was magic that I could use.

''That Lord Leinster, I've heard that since this world was created, those who have the blessing of the reincarnated dragon and the blessing of the spirits can't use ordinary magic... except for you, the only one...''
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. If you were originally only able to use holy attribute magic and obtained blessings, then it can't be helped........well, I think I can manage it. I know it's going to be a bit of a challenge, but do you want to try it?
 

''I'm aware that you can use magic with effort, right?
Yeah. As long as you have the right attributes, you'll be fine.
Nice to meet you.
 There was no hesitation on my part.

''Then let's split the magic power of the spirit and the magic power of the reincarnated dragon. Stretch your arms forward.
Yes, sir.
I'll pull it.
"? Yes.
 At that moment, the magic power was being pulled from my body, but I understood too late.

'I think Luciel-kun is now in a state of magic power depletion. Since I fixed Luciel-kun's magic power in this atmosphere, Luciel-kun, first of all, let's return the magic power obtained from the dragon and spirit blessing and the magic power that you originally had to your body.
 The depletion of my magic power made me feel very uncomfortable, and I could hear Lord Leinster's voice in the distance.

''How?''
"I'm going to pull it back through the magic manipulation. I've divided up the magic power so that it's easy to understand, so I strongly visualize the image of absorbing only my own magic power into my body. In this world, a strong image is usually a source of strength.
 In the uncomfortable state of magical power depletion, I was forced to struggle to return the magical power back to me.
