142. Elder Dragon Aquarite (1)

Meanwhile, a few hours before Yulian encountered Aquarite.

The Western Demon King Army of Remiella.

They also joined up with the Royal Knights who had broken through the final defensive line.

It was as if all the forces of the Western Demon King Army had gathered in one place.

Remiella, as the commander-in-chief, encouraged the Western Demon King Army.

“Our Lord is with us! Victory is near! We must show the magical beasts the pride of the Demon race!”

All the soldiers responded by calling Yulian’s name in unison.

‘Yulian Jeonha…’

Yulian had quietly disappeared from this battlefield for a while.

Naturally, the target that the magical beast army was desperately trying to target was Yulian, who had become the lord of the Western Demon King Army.

Even if it was an ancient dragon, if it released a huge breath all at once like a while ago, a temporary power vacuum would occur.

“Find the damn magic dragon! Kill that magic dragon no matter what!!”

The commander of the magical beast army. A fallen Dark Elf general was heard shouting.

Kakakakakakang-

Ramiela also knew the Dark Elf-born spiritist by face.

The surroundings were full of moisture because of the torrential rain created by Aquarite. The spirit magic created by that general instantly created hundreds of ice spears.

They were so transparent that they were almost invisible, but.

Remiella, who had reached the realm of a master, had already noticed the subtle changes in that magical energy.

“Deploy the shields! Spells are coming!”

At the same time as her words.

Tatatatatang-

Ice spears poured down in an instant.

However, the soldiers were not caught off guard because of Remiella’s warning.

“Damn it!! Then the next attack…”

The Dark Elf general shouted.

“Pour more spells on the Demon King Army!! Huh?”

But those were the last words in that Dark Elf’s life.

Remiella’s silver sword had cut off the general’s neck. A sword strike so fast that it was difficult to grasp its beginning and end. It was a very high level of swordsmanship.

Krien, who belatedly caught up with Remiella, said in amazement.

“That Dark Elf was once Antiruen, the 10th seat of the Royal Knights!! As expected, Remiella-nim’s skills are amazing!”

After saying that, Krien shouted again.

“Remiella-nim has beheaded the enemy general!”

As the commander-in-chief, Remiella, actively participated, the morale of the surrounding area was further heightened.

“Yulian Jeonha and Remiella-nim are with us!”

The soldiers responded in unison.

Of course, despite Remiella’s efforts. The soldiers were instinctively shouting Yulian’s name first instead of hers, but.

Rather, Remiella’s heart was warmed by that phenomenon.

‘Yulian Jeonha has already become the center of the Western Demon King Army.’

At the same time, her heart became anxious.

The breath that Yulian created transcended standards.

That breath finally created a crack in the solid magical beast army.

Thanks to that feat, they succeeded in the miraculous charge like now.

But Remiella couldn’t rest assured yet. No, as the commander-in-chief, she was rather uneasy.

‘The current 5,000 troops are the core for the future great war. They must survive… to gather more troops.’

The rapidly changing war situation.

So, in line with Yulian’s entry into the Demon King’s country, she hurriedly summoned the Western Demon King Army.

The current troops gathered for the first time are elite units.

In the future, with them as the center, all the remaining Western Demon King Army must be joined together to resist Duke Pedro’s Southern Army.

That means that the current troops must be maintained at all costs.

If the loss of troops is great in the current battle, the future of the Demon King’s country will disappear.

Two tasks: not only must they win against Aquarite’s magical beast army, but they must also preserve their troops.

In fact, the moment they encountered Aquarite, the ancient dragon who had become a magical beast.

The staff of the Western Demon King Army concluded that it was impossible.

They were just preparing for a retreat without any promise.

However, with Yulian’s addition, they seized the opportunity to counterattack as they are now.

‘The spark that Jeonha created. We must somehow make it bloom!’

But that was then.

“The northwest of the enemy camp! Magical power is rapidly increasing!”

The Archbishop of the Demon King Army shouted.

Remiella’s ears perked up sharply. An instinctive fear of death.

It was definitely a warning that the owner of the nest was waking up.

‘No! If Aquarite joins the battle like this! A catastrophe will occur!’

The moment she concentrated magical energy on her sword again with that trembling heart.

Someone’s voice was heard.

“Remiella. Are you safe?”

As if reading Remiella’s mind. Yulian stood in front of her.

---

Ramiela shouted urgently.

“Yulian-nim!”

He must have been hiding his presence.

It was such a subtle movement that even she, a master, couldn’t notice it.

But it was not difficult for Yulian, Yunir’s Apostle, who knew how to use the power of darkness.

His holy sword, Siertia, was already full of bloodstains.

It seems that Yulian had been active on this battlefield in the meantime.

“Yulian-nim! You’re safe!”

And Remiella blushed for a moment.

‘Just now… my voice… was too girlish.’

Forgetting her position as the commander-in-chief of the Western Demon King Army.

As if she had reunited with a beloved lover. She had called his name so desperately.

Fortunately, Yulian doesn’t seem to have noticed Remiella’s reaction.

While cleaning the bloodstains on the sword with spirits. Yulian looked around the battlefield.

“The soldiers are doing their best even against those ferocious magical beasts.”

“It’s all thanks to Yulian-nim… no, Yulian Jeonha!”

“But now is the time to be even more vigilant. It seems that the magical beast army has become serious.”

Yulian’s words were correct.

Remiella also felt the magical power concentrated in the depths of the enemy camp a while ago.

“It seems that Aquarite will intervene in the battle.”

Remiella’s expression hardened at those words.

Just as Yulian, the ancient dragon, had instantly turned the tide of the battlefield a while ago.

Aquarite was the same.

If he released his concealment in the nest and appeared outside. The Western Demon King Army had to be prepared for a desperate battle just by the intervention of that ancient dragon.

“The magical beast army is also using its last resort… If that Aquarite intervenes in the battle, no matter how much we have 5,000 troops…”

Remiella’s face darkened.

Aquarite’s non-intervention is now a slight advantage for the Western Demon King Army. Even if they can win if time passes like this, the damage will definitely not be small.

But if Aquarite intervenes. The war situation will instantly become unfavorable to the Western Demon King Army.

Either way, it was a dilemma.

‘Besides, Yulian-nim can’t immediately… return to his ancient dragon form.’

The next most skilled Remiella and Aitekia.

They were too busy dealing with the higher-ranking magical beasts and the commanders of the magical beast army to spare any time. They couldn’t stop Aquarite.

‘In fact, even if the general and I fight together, there is no chance of winning against an ancient dragon…’

Then Yulian said.

“But you don’t have to worry too much. I will deal with Aquarite directly.”

“Ah, no! If you used that much breath… you shouldn’t overdo it for at least half a day…”

The breath of an ancient dragon is the most destructive force that a living being can create.

Yulian annihilated everything within 1 km.

It means that he concentrated all the destructive power into it, not just a simple wide-area magic.

Although the wide-area flame magic and meteorite summoning cast by great wizards are evaluated to have more power than that.

In reality, it is rare for that theoretical power to be properly demonstrated.

If it is the magical power of the magical beasts here, they can somehow block it with a shield.

But Yulian’s breath was something that the magical beasts could not block at all.

‘As such, breath is an attack that consumes a lot of magical energy.’

Half a day was just a word considering his pride. He should never overdo it as long as his magical energy was empty.

If he doesn’t have magical energy, he will be cursed by the magical power of the higher-ranking magical beasts.

But Yulian’s expression was firm.

“But the power as an ancient dragon is not all of the weapons I have. So I will deal with Aquarite directly. Remiella, you and General Aitekia tie up the magical beast army.”

“Yulian Jeonha! That’s dangerous!”

And unlike Remiella’s worries. His expression was full of composure.

“Well. I’ll have to try it to find out. I’ll be back. Krien! I’ll borrow Larwin for a while!”

Yulian, who shouted that, headed to the depths of the magical beast army.

He flew towards Aquarite’s nest.

And Krien said to Ramiela, who was watching that scene.

“Remiella-nim! You don’t have to worry! Our Lord will bring us victory!”

His voice was full of faith. Remiella also came to her senses at those words.

“We must not hold our Lord back! All of us will protect our Lord’s soldiers together!”

Soon, Remiella’s silver sword emitted magical energy again.

---

Pajijijijijik-

The depths of the magical beast army’s headquarters.

Above Aquarite’s nest, which was made like a huge tower.

The ancient dragon Aquarite was flapping its wings in the sky there.

‘I’ve never felt this kind of magical power before.’

Green Dragon Larwin. His scales stood on end.

He also had a time when he lived as a High Knight of the Royal Knights.

He had already met countless ancient dragons. But the current Aquarite was different.

He felt such a terrible grudge from Aquarite that goosebumps rose on his soul.

• The Demon race… the Demon race made me like this!!!

He must have been brainwashed by Plutia’s Apostle.

The hostility that should have been directed at the magical beasts was directed at the Demon King Army.

Larwin felt like he was sweating coldly when he met the eyes of the ancient dragon who had become a magical beast.

But he soon came to his senses.

It was not any other dragon, but his Lord who had chosen him.

The young dragonkin riding on his back now.

Yulian von Reinhardt.

The lord of the Western Demon King Army was holding onto the horns that had risen on the scales without any shaking in this high sky, and was staring at Aquarite.

‘Is Jeonha not afraid of Aquarite’s magical power!’

A dragon’s senses are sensitive.

Even if he didn’t turn his head, he could sense Yulian’s mood on his body.

He was very calm.

Before arriving at this nest.

He was so calm that it was hard to believe that he was the swordsman who had cut down countless Type 1 magical beasts with his sword.

‘How… can he wield his sword as usual even after pouring out such a breath?’

As the same dragon, he could tell.

It was definitely a breath close to complete combustion to the point of burning all the magical energy in his body.

Even if it’s not the breath of an ancient dragon. Even a normal Holy Dragon will run out of stamina due to the recoil if they use their breath with all their might like that.

But the current Yulian showed no signs of exhaustion.

Even though he had watched the miracles he had created several times from the side.

Larwin still couldn’t believe in the strength of that young Lord.

And he murmured.

“Aquarite’s soul is wailing.”

His voice was as calm as his calm attitude.

No, that wasn’t true.

Larwin belatedly felt the cool anger burning in his Lord’s calm voice.

“To make a great ancient dragon a toy for the Demon race. I swear in the name of Yunir, Plutia’s Apostle Yuranese. I will not let that person live. Revenge for Aquarite.”

And Larwin shuddered at that oath.

‘I was just… being crushed by the magical power of that ancient dragon and being afraid… Did Jeonha even hear the screams of the ancient dragon!’

He is so considerate that he even pities his own kind who have become enemies.

And he was thrilled by the sight of his Lord declaring revenge for that kind.

The fear that he had inadvertently felt due to being crushed by the huge magical power a while ago disappeared.

That reverence for his Lord drove out the curse of magical power at once.

• My Lord.

Larwin paid his respects to his Lord through his will.

Then Yulian said.

“Larwin. Prepare for battle. I need your help from now on.”

Larwin hurriedly answered with his will.

The reason why the Green Dragon was with Yulian.

The current Yulian cannot transform into an ancient dragon.

No, he can transform. But the one he will face is Aquarite, an individual entity.

“The current form will be more advantageous in dealing with that magical beast than the ancient dragon form.”

So he needed a dragon knight to help him in the air.

Dragonkin also have wings.

But if it was him, the Green Dragon who uses the power of wind. He would be able to help Yulian’s battle much more.

• That’s right! I will do my best for Jeonha! Please concentrate only on the battle, Jeonha!

“I’m counting on you, Larwin!”

And the traitor of the Royal Knights who rode on top of Aquarite.

Rasliel and Yulian’s eyes met.

“Is it you? You impudent bitch who plays with the remains of a great ancient dragon.”

He said it in a light tone.

Larwin could still tell that there was a cold anger in that voice.

At the same time, it was a huge anger that even Larwin, who was an ally, was afraid of.

At that very moment.

“Shut up!”

Rasliel shouted.

Kwakwakwakwakwang-

The battle began at the same time as Aquarite’s lightning struck.
