Chapter 88 – Large Monsters – Part 3
“Ah.”
I saw my father in the distance.
The disheveled hair that a normal father would never see. Sweat running down your forehead. Hardened expression. And the reddish upper body and missing arms.
In an instant, the heat spread.
He expresses the anger that rises to the top of his head without hiding it.
An artificial sun made of magical power, which I had become accustomed to by now, appeared behind me. Its size is equivalent to the giant size that was made on the day of the coming-of-age ceremony.
“You lizard!”
Something vaguely resembling a lizard, some distance away from the center of the hill where my father is. And the moment it opened its mouth, I saw something in the shape of a huge mouth trying to tear open the hill where my father was.
The magic power glows. Like boiling water, the magical energy inside his body began to swell in an instant.
-Kiiiiing!
The completed artificial sun and my swollen magical power are connected to each other. The moment the mana within the body synchronizes, the artificial sun beats like breathing.
Shimmering sun.
The purpose is that guy who wants to eat the space itself right now.
“Search!”
Magical power answers my anger.
The center of an artificial sun that tunes in to magic that burns gold. It took a while for the huge mana to be compressed into dots, and the compressed huge mana poured out as a huge beam of light.
“Kraaaaa!”
Its speed is fleeting. As the gigantic beam of light penetrated, the blurry lizard began screaming in pain. At the same time, he confirmed that the faintly visible huge mouth disappeared.
“Shoot!”
The pale-faced father didn’t miss the chance and immediately moved the two lions. The golden lion, made of magic, opened its mouth at the same time as the father’s gesture, and started shooting golden rays.
-Geeeee customer
A huge pillar of light in the sky.
And on the ground two rays hit the lizard.
“Kuaaaaa!”
Although the lizard screams and tries to avoid the body, it is difficult to avoid the sun floating in the air and the aiming beam by moving the body directly.
The moment the lizard’s movement caused the blood to splatter the air, the body disappeared as if it were folded in the air.
“It’s next to me!”
I immediately dodged at my father’s words.
– Kwajik!
As the space feels distorted, the space itself is torn away.
That’s it! The reason why my father’s arm was like that!
“Burn up!”
Light if the sun.
However, before that, there are temperatures that are difficult to measure by the standards of this world.
-Roaring!
The flame burns the air around this area.
The moment I burned everything except the space where my father was, a lizard hiding in a space somewhere appeared.
“Kwaaaaa!”
When I saw that he was about to attack me with his long body, he immediately stretched out his fist. The golden magic that followed the movement of the fist aimed at the lizard’s head, and a golden lion charged from below at the father’s gesture.
The gap.
No matter how many times I saw it, a lizard that disappeared in an instant before my eyes appeared above my father. My father was what I was aiming for from the beginning!
“Did you think I didn’t know!”
If you hadn’t noticed that I was staring at my father with hungry eyes, I’m a filial child with the fire attribute! You bastard!
I am also Franz’s blood relative!
The moment a handful of mana dripped from the mana that formed the sun, like a giant drop of water, it immediately changed its form into a lion and bit off the lizard’s neck.
“Kwaaaaa!”
A lizard screaming in pain. Without missing that moment, the father’s messengers also began to cling to him.
Ignoring the rare scene of three lions and one lizard fighting, I immediately descended to my father’s side.
“Father! Are you all right!”
“Leo.”
I saw my father’s face looking at me.
My heart skipped a beat when I saw the pale face. It was the first time I had seen my father so weak. I examined the wound on his arm. I saw an arm that had been severed. He stopped the bleeding, but the wound itself was very large.
Lost blood is also blood, but allowing the blow in the first place is dangerous in itself. He needs treatment.
“Immediately treat… !”
“Done. I’m fine. Don’t mind me and take care of him. It’s dangerous if he leaves the mountain.”
“But… !”
I turned my gaze back.
I saw the lizard still screaming in pain.
His stealth ability exceeded expectations. If even my father could be attacked by surprise, I could see that it would be dangerous if I missed it now.
My father’s hand came up on my hesitant shoulder.
“Hurry. Do your noble duty.”
He meets his father’s golden eyes.
The color of the bright eyes darkened. I felt a trembling in my father’s only hand on my shoulder. I gritted my teeth. While enduring the pain, I forcibly nodded my head in my father’s hand, which gripped my shoulder tightly.
* * *
“Krurruk!”
Pain for the first time in my life.
Called a gourmet, it looked at the scars on its body. You can feel the traces of fire on the hard black scales and the power that pierced the scales and penetrated into the body.
The gourmet’s large, torn eyes rolled degururuly.
Had to choose
I saw a prey with one leg torn off.
No more blood was shed, but it would be a waste to miss the wounded prey here. Saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth as he recalled the taste of the prey’s legs that had already been digested.
Also sorry to miss it.
How could there be no more opportunities?
“Kreur…”
Gourmet licked his lips and roamed the hill where his prey was.
His body faded little by little. The sound, body shape, and even signs of magic disappear.
Keeps the kin of newly appeared prey in sight.
Are you a family? If it is an animal that cannot leave its injured relatives alone, it is a new prey. The quality of magic that can be felt even in newly appeared prey tickles the gourmet’s sense of smell.
Appetite and greed.
That’s why gourmets came down the mountain.
It burrowed into the darkness with its eyes shining, aiming for an opportunity.
The use of predation is akin to gambling for him too. The stamina and magic attribute used are also considerable. Gourmets also know that predators who fail to hunt are eaten in reverse.
Slowly.
The gourmet who disappears while melting his body in the space is aiming for that timing again.
* * *
I float in the sky and look down at the earth.
He is left alone on the hill with his father holding onto the part of his arm that was eaten.
No, although two golden lions roam around like an escort. All of them are nothing more than power controlled by the father’s hand. Action close to decoy in effect. I looked at him with trembling eyes and tried to close them.
-Giying!
Observe the movements of the perfectly hidden bastard.
Now that it has been hidden like this, it has not been detected even by radar. No, there was no such precision in the first place, so I didn’t even expect it.
But there is a guy.
The mana of the guy wandering around here fades away after staying faint. He obviously exists in this area, but we can’t figure out the exact location.
“Whoa.”
Take a deep breath.
His father’s words came to mind.
-You are a strange child.
Pointing to the artificial sun, the father said.
– I had knowledge that I was not taught.
The shimmering light of the sun becomes increasingly intense.
– I didn’t learn it, but I knew a lot.
The artificial sun I made grows in size and moves.
– Maybe that’s why? You say it’s natural
An artificial sun moved below the true sun at the top of the sky.
– They don’t take for granted what we take for granted.
It is not only knowledge about the sun.
There were many things that meant the sun.
Just as the sun card has many meanings in the tarot.
As each country worships the sun, the meaning of the sun is different.
Apollo in Greek mythology is famous for being a versatile god with all sorts of abilities, including the arts, as well as being the god of the sun.
God Nongdo in Chinese mythology and Quetzalcoatl in Aztec mythology. It did not simply symbolize the sun, but there were more concepts that included it.
Pointing to the sun was something that simply could not be filled with knowledge.
Didn’t I know too? Prior to the Franz family nobility, there was a belief in the Golden Lion.
Princess Amelia also falls under common sense based on the standards of this world, so I didn’t say the obvious because I actually reached out to all kinds of arts including culture, and it was natural for me, which only very few people know in this world. You’re talking about ‘vision’.
Yes.
I was imprisoned in the prison of what I know as common sense.
That’s why I couldn’t wake up the common sense of this world.
“Lizard.”
He pointed at the sun with his finger and said.
The sun, bigger than when it lit up the city, beats.
But it wasn’t as painful as it was then.
It was felt. The quality of my magical power has changed. The flow of my magical power changed and I became more adept at controlling it.
Due to the artificial sun created under the sun, the hill that should be dark begins to get brighter, albeit only slightly, than it was just before the real sun was up.
Feeling the power of the artificial sun, I looked down at the hill with golden eyes.
I feel that the quality of my magical power has improved compared to just a moment ago, but I still admire the hidden ability of the lizard that went undetected.
I remembered a very simple truth.
The truth that where the light shines, it must be bright.
“I will tell you the words of the largest and most famous religion in the world I was in.”
The sun in the sky disappeared. Disappeared?
No.
I am the sun
“Let there be light.”
Then there was light.
