158 – go beyond – 4
Charlotte was proud of herself as superior to anyone else.
Serena? They had fought each other to death a few times, but whenever there was an opportunity, it was that bitch, not Charlotte, who was the first to risk their lives.
Although Charlotte had to go through several deaths, it was Serena who walked the tightrope with her life far more. Not Charlotte.
It was that year that was the first to be in danger, the first to be nearly killed and barely able to survive by struggling awkwardly, and the first to receive more fatal injuries.
Until now, the boy had been trying hard to prevent the two from fighting, so he hadn’t really killed anyone, but if the opportunity came, he was sure that Charlotte would be the one who would survive.
So, even if Serena was equal to him, he did not place much value on it.
Christine? That guy’s mana nullification was the problem, if it wasn’t for that, it was divine power and Nabal, and Charlotte could have stamped the bitch and suppressed it. This was a fact guaranteed by Giabi of Charlotte.
If it hadn’t been for the Mana Nullification, Christine wouldn’t have been able to defeat Charlotte. Since those words were unmistakably true, he passed them off at the level of slightly hurting his pride.
That bizarre ability. An ability whose origin is unknown, how it works, and even why it works is in a labyrinth.
If it hadn’t been for that, victory would have been on Charlotte’s side. Of course I had to believe that. Only if you can jump Christine, you can slit her throat and crush her and take the boy for herself.
The bitch who kidnapped Charlotte’s Giabi… … Frankly, Charlotte had no choice but to admit that she lost too.
Still, the possibility itself remained. Before being dragged away, the boy said that there was room for growth, and actually found a means called the Elder Dragon Ring.
He was a risky gambler who would lose his life if he failed. But Charlotte gritted her teeth and succeeded, stepping into a completely different world.
I thought that was the end.
However, the person Charlotte was dealing with was something far beyond that concept.
“Blessings on his way, trembling at not looking back.”
“Let the moon set upon the earth, and let the world begin to turn upside down.”
“The black sun will lose its light. Tremble and howl at the darkness.”
“The world has witnessed its end, and your end has come.”
Four words came out of Charlotte’s mouth at the same time.
Multiple Gloryholes.
Rather than chanting multiple spells at the same time, it was an ignorant skill that split a single spell into multiple pieces and chanted them simultaneously.
Originally, it was a chant that should have been continued for a long time, but since the 4 words divided into 4 pieces were cast together, the waiting time was naturally reduced to 4 pieces.
As an analogy, it was like making four hands, making embroidery with one hand, weaving with the other, spinning yarn with the other, and embroidering with the last one.
Since the human vocal organ is only one, it is actually much more difficult, and the difficulty has increased even more because ordinary humans cannot understand the sense of having four arms.
Prior to that, most of the humans were unable to properly perform even the simple act of drawing different figures with each hand, even with only two arms.
So, multiple chanting was the kind of chanting that only Charlotte could do.
“Eclipse.”
When Charlotte finished the chant, the sky was instantly covered in darkness. The boundary between light and shadow completely disappeared and everything in the world was plunged into darkness.
And all that darkness was sucked into a sphere floating in the sky. The black sphere sucked in the darkness and madly increased its size.
When all the surrounding darkness was finally sucked into the sphere, the world became much brighter. Only one, the black sphere escaped the bright aura.
However, the dragon standing in front of Charlotte calmly praised the black sphere while looking at it.
ㅡ It’s great. Even if you jump into rare right now, few dragons can handle a child. If the other kids noticed this, they’d feel quite good about it.
Ignoring such a mild reaction, I slammed the black sun down on the dragon’s head. It was neither light, nor heat, nor cold, nor cold, nor anything else.
It was destruction itself, created only to devour everything that existed under the aegis of light.
—-However, it is still a long way from reaching me.
Red flames boiled from inside the dragon’s throat. The scales along the spine turned red, and soon the dragon straightened its neck and raised its head.
A torrent of red mana burst out of his mouth.
The torrent of mana hit the black sun that was plunging downward. No explosion occurred. No destruction or crushing took place.
It was just quietly, mere mana and scattered.
Compared to the enormous danger and destructive power of the black sun, the end was too shabby. Charlotte wiped a drop of sweat along her jawline with her hand and clicked her tongue.
‘… … time and power. It is not easy to find the balance between them.’
For magic that didn’t require a chant, hundreds or thousands of rounds of magic floated in the air, and at the same time, it was possible to fire whatever it caught.
However, such magic was absolutely lacking in power. Even if the dragon greeted him without any defense, he couldn’t even scratch the scales, so those magics were completely out of power.
Conversely, the magic that was supposed to be able to pierce those scales took time for Charlotte to recite a long chant. Even Charlotte couldn’t cast such magic blindly.
Even if there were multiple chanting that would drastically reduce the time, it was only natural that the delay would be much longer than that of magic performed immediately after chanting without chanting.
During the time he was reciting the chant, the incoming dragon’s attack was a bonus.
This was the dilemma.
The magic that is activated quickly so that the dragon cannot respond while gathering breath cannot actually damage the dragon.
Even when the barrage of magic rained down, that dragon stood still as if it didn’t tickle, so Charlotte completely excluded such magic from her thoughts.
Conversely, powerful magic that has the potential to damage the dragon is checked during the time it is recited, and no matter how it is fired, it is easily destroyed by the breath.
There was only one such magic per magic circle, so it was impossible to form a barrage or scatter several at once.
—-Isn’t the way to handle mana wrong? Instead of pouring mana upwards, it should be spread out as if scattering it widely.
And after canceling magic with breath, he kindly gives advice on problems that need to be fixed in that way. Charlotte didn’t like that any more.
It wasn’t meant to be ridiculed. It was an action that really pointed out the problem of Charlotte’s magic. Wouldn’t it be more suitable for the commonly used word practice?
I hate to admit it, but I had to admit it.
That Charlotte and that lizard had different ranks.
ㅡI want you to think differently now. Your talent is really at a waste level. If I had been born as a dragon instead of a human, it would be such a pity that I would have made the child my direct successor. So why not give a slightly more positive answer?
“There’s no time for that. Even now, Jim’s father must be anxiously waiting for Jim. What is the meaning of giving up love and gaining knowledge? It’s absurd.”
Charlotte listened to the appeasement in one ear and let it out in the other, preparing for the next spell. The dragon was still not moving from where it first landed.
If so, I will forcibly make the body move.
With a gesture, Charlotte cut off the entire waist of a large nearby mountain and transferred the entire upper part directly above the dragon.
When a whole mountain was transferred above his head, the dragon raised its head. Although its majesty is like that of a large mountain, its actual size never reached that of a mountain.
ㅡThat’s cool, kid. The more I look, the more precious it is.
I completely ignored the voice that kept ringing in my head, and put my finger down. Then, a huge mountain came crashing down on the dragon’s head.
Not a metaphor, but a literal mountain.
—-It seems that he understands the meaning of the child. So, you should follow that.
The dragon spread its wings wide to the left and right. And flapping its wings just once, it flew up.
Immediately, the ground collapsed and a huge crater was created. It was because they could not withstand the recoil caused by the flapping of their wings.
A thick cloud of dust spread out in a circle. Charlotte blew away all the dust clouds around her with her magic and checked the location of the dragon.
The dragon was going up through the mountain from the bottom.
It wasn’t that he had suffered much. Even though it had only flapped its wings once and soared up, it was soaring towards the sky, piercing the entire thrown mountain from bottom to top.
The boulders and piles of dirt that were broken into pieces turned into rain and poured down. The acrid smell of dust filled the air.
He didn’t even use magic.
It simply crashed into the mountain and shattered the mountain itself.
Indeed, the dragon soared to an ignorant height, fluttering its wings and hovering in place. Charlotte clearly felt that the gaze was on her.
ㅡ child. My heart is too impatient How about calming down a bit?
“Shut up your mouth. Until you tore that motherfucker to death and brought back Jim’s father, Jim was never impatient for a second. Who dare you to judge Jim’s feelings?”
After the boy was kidnapped, Charlotte was never without anger. No matter how many people he killed and no matter how much torture he inflicted on the rebels, his anger never subsided.
Charlotte was a human who would usually remember and brutally kill a boy when a woman approached him, when a woman spoke to him, or even when he just brushed his collar.
He had such a temper, but a young man he had never seen before thoroughly defeated him, showed an overwhelming difference in skill, and dragged the boy into a black subspace.
I couldn’t let the fever go.
ㅡEverything would be meaningless to the child you love, but what made our child so impatient? The time given to that child is infinite, and you too have reached the point where time has no meaning.
“Is everything meaningless? Is the time given infinite? Do we have to listen to such nonsense? But, what is the meaning of Giabi’s ability to regenerate, and why does infinite time have meaning?”
ㅡIs it the ability to regenerate?
Suddenly, the dragon had a question. The feeling was so intense that even Charlotte hesitated for a moment.
The dragon, who had been thinking about something for a long time, delivered a voice in his head with plenty of regretful feelings.
—-Is it like that? To think that my child had such an illusion, we must first correct that illusion.
“mistaken?”
At Charlotte’s question, the dragon landed on the ground again with a thud. Even if everything else was postponed, it was an action full of will to correct this one.
ㅡMy child.
The dragon lowered his head and met Charlotte’s eyes.
—-Really, do you think that the child you long for possesses a simple regenerative ability?
