86. The final battle in the boss area (4)

Kakang, kakakang-

In an instant, Reister’s flying hair, no, tentacles, filled my vision. They were about to pierce me as is, but I deflected them all with the Imperial Sword.

‘Damn, that’s fast.’

I quickly retreated. I looked around. Still inside chaos and nothingness.

‘The curse that dwelled within me. Is that guy it?’

Looking again, it wasn’t Reister. I mistook it for her because it looked similar to Reister. But it was a little different from the Reister I saw before entering this space.

The common thing was that it was a tentacle monster. Maybe the guys related to the voice of chaos look like that, with tentacles.

It was like turning a crimson giant squid upside down. Of course, even such a bizarre shape is actually a cute description compared to the guy in front of me.

‘Disgusting.’

It wasn’t just a feeling. Whether it’s a magical beast, a demon, or the curse of the voice in front of me.

Those things are beings from another world that shouldn’t exist in this world. So just looking at that existence makes me feel so unpleasant that I get goosebumps.

‘But I’m used to it.’

That was natural. I had been infected with the curse of that voice since I was young.

When that curse became extreme and gradually destroyed my personality. All the bizarre works of art I created. They all resembled those tentacles.

‘And still from that curse…’

Kwakwakwakwang-

A huge egg spewed out by the tentacle. It exploded right next to me. Cecilia’s runic script implanted in the Imperial Sword. That runic script emitted light and created a shield to block the fragments.

[Yulian! Now I know where this is!]

[I have a hunch too. Isn’t this probably my inner self?]

[Yes! That curse still remains inside Yulian. If you don’t get rid of that…]

Erti was right. The divine spell that Mother had prepared. The system was a process for me to develop the power to resist that curse.

‘So now I’m strong enough, but…’

Just a few months ago, I couldn’t even awaken Mana. But since awakening Mana. I have been constantly growing.

Now I’m beyond the 5th Circle, strong enough to face the High Knights of the main knight orders.

The curse in front of me was so powerful that even I trembled for a moment.

‘If I hadn’t lost my memories. Being swallowed by that guy would have been a moment.’

If I were the original me who couldn’t even awaken Mana. I would have lost my personality and become a demon.

Even now, I feel like I’m being eaten by the energy emitted by the curse of the voice. Erti resonated anxiously.

But I shouted.

“Don’t worry, hasoseo!”

Yulian von Reinhardt. Finally, I became myself.

In front of that curse that tried so hard to swallow me. I renewed my determination not to lose that self again.

The warmth of my mother felt from the rosary. It’s also erasing the anxiety caused by the curse of the voice. There’s nothing to be afraid of.

‘And there’s no time to dawdle.’

I can still feel Lucia and Chloe’s presence through the Ummoon connected magical energy. But if I delay any longer, those two might be in danger.

I had to quickly deal with this guy and go help the two. I had to protect my women. I poured all my mind into the Imperial Sword held in both hands.

‘Extreme Night and Dragonification Stage 2. I’ll use that to get rid of the curse in one fell swoop and get out of here.’

The blood of Reinhardt passed down from my maternal grandfather and mother. The Lion Heart Sword that proves the qualification of the owner of that lion.

I inherited the Extreme Night of the Lion Heart Sword from the memories of my ancestor, Atlint von Reinhardt.

Passed down from the Sword Empress. The extremely righteous Reinhardt’s Secret Art.

In an instant, my blood. The technique created through the deaths of the Essenmund people, that Aura, began to bloom again on the sword.

‘And my father’s blood.’

The blood of a dragon like the ancient dragon Kraiupe. Although my father was an elf, the blood of an ancient dragon has been passed down from distant ancestors.

So my Mana Heart is the Dragon Heart of an ancient dragon. Therefore, the Mana Heart that has surpassed the 5th Circle is enduring the Mana acceleration close to the limit.

No, it’s now the 6th Circle. As a result of awakening myself, I have once again surpassed my limits.

‘Keuheuk. But I have to… I have to endure more.’

The 6th Circle is the realm of a Master. So the backlash from refining Aura. It’s beyond imagination. Just the rotation of that Mana feels like it’s tearing my body apart from the inside.

But enduring even that backlash is the second stage of Dragonification. I can feel the wings and tail growing from me.

Now, the Secret Art Extreme Night was revealing an even darker black light by borrowing the power of that Dragonification.

Kyaaaaaaaak-

The curse also. As if sensing something, it presses down on me even more with darkness.

‘It’s useless.’

However, the black Aura, Extreme Night, that will swallow even that chaos and nothingness, swallowed the guy.

Sarak-

A single slash. That blow of Aura collapsed the space.

---

“Yoo, Yoo, Yulian-nim?!!!!”

“Young Master!!!!!”

And in an instant, the world became brighter. No, it’s still dark inside the Dungeon, but. At least it was better than the dark space a little while ago.

I escaped from Reister’s giant tentacles. A little while ago, I was swallowed by the mouth created by that tentacle just before entering that dark space.

‘Did I get rid of the curse of the voice? No, more than that first…’

In an instant, I checked Lucia and Chloe’s condition first. Both of them have tattered clothes but are safe. But their expressions were a mess.

Both of them were crying. Maybe they misunderstood that I had saved them and died as is.

Geuaaaaaaaak-

But there was no time to share the joy of reunion. I eliminated the curse that was in me, but. Reister, who swallowed the Dungeon boss, is still there.

‘Where’s Chris?’

I looked into Reister’s eyes, but. I can’t feel the red eyes that I felt when Chris was controlling the doll.

‘Bastard. Did he throw Reister away and run away?’

Or maybe he’s hiding somewhere and controlling Reister again. But now was the time to face that Reister.

‘Think. A way to deal with that guy.’

The Dungeon boss that Reister swallowed was a Type 2 magical beast. And a dangerous magical beast that has increased the size of the Dungeon to be close to the Count’s territory.

‘It’s already far beyond the dimension of Type 2.’

I have witnessed a magical beast that has surpassed Type 2. Type 1 magical beast, Graiel. Of course, the guy in front of me doesn’t feel as scary as that Fallen Angel of despair.

The important thing is that the current Dragonification buff doesn’t have much time left. It’s a very difficult opponent when the buff wears off.

——-

[Status] – Stats have temporarily increased due to Dragonification Stage 2.

* Basic stat increase [1 minute duration / remaining time 20 seconds]

Strength: 100(+30)

Agility: 90(+30)

Intelligence: 90(+30)

Stamina: 100(+30)

Vitality: 125(+30)

* Mana possessed – Mana has increased due to the increase in the level of the Mana Heart.

Mana: 75 / 250MP (+50)

——-

‘Only 20 seconds left.’

However, thanks to achieving the 6th Circle, the total amount of Mana Heart has increased. Until now, I could only use the Secret Art Extreme Night twice.

This means I can use it one more time now.

‘But I can’t use Extreme Night like this.’

Reister’s tentacles changed shape once again. As if sensing the numerical inferiority when I joined, it took a defensive posture.

Solid tentacle armor surrounded Reister’s entire body. But at the same time, another notification popped up on the system.

——-

「Contractor of the Archduke of Demons」

* The Archduke of Demons is devouring food to his great satisfaction. The women connected by the Ummoon are feeling joy.

### Duchess Ruiril of Lust

: A large amount of magical energy is injected from the Duchess, an Apostle of the Goddess of Darkness Yunir.

: Contractors connected through Ummoon and lust receive a buff effect on their stats.

: All stats increase (+15) / Additional buffs cannot be stacked

——-

It was a notification at a very necessary moment. I can use the Ummoon buff one more time.

‘Lust?’

Intuitively, I understood. The moment I, who was thought to be dead, came back to life. Lucia and Chloe seemed to feel an unimaginably great joy.

I’ll have to ask my tyrant why that joy is lust, but I had to hurry now.

“Chloe! Throw all the hidden weapons at that armor!”

More than words, the will connected by the Ummoon was conveyed faster.

Kwakwakwakwakwang-

Chloe’s alchemy poured into the armor. At the same time, a huge alchemical dust explosion was created. It was the most powerful explosion of Chloe’s alchemy that I had ever seen.

‘The firepower has doubled because of the buff.’

At that moment. Reister’s tentacles were torn apart, temporarily revealing the inside of the guy.

Reister was hanging from the cocoon inside that armor. Not a tentacle monster like now. Reister in human form that I saw at the Grius banquet.

‘Before that torn armor closes again. That…’

Even in the huge explosion that would blow away the entire area. The tentacles were being restored again, creating armor. There was no chance if the armor was completed again. Maybe the human form of Reister was acting as the magic stone of that chaotic magical beast.

And at the same time, Lucia, who felt my will, jumped into the open armor. She did it.

“I took Reister out!”

Kyaaaaaaaak-

The tentacle mass screamed. But with Reister, who was the mother, disappearing, the magic power felt from the mass weakened. The two shouted.

“Now’s the time!”

“Now is the time!”

I quickly checked the system notification window.

——-

* Basic stat increase [1 minute duration / remaining time 5 seconds]

——-

And there were only 5 seconds left before Dragonification ended. But I was short 2MP of the Mana needed to use Extreme Night.

4 seconds.

3 seconds.

2 seconds.

At that moment, Mana was barely recovered. 80MP for Extreme Night was filled.

1 second.

Just as Dragonification Stage 2 was about to end. I tore the tentacles in front of me with the last Extreme Night.

---

That’s how the Magic War ended.

The unprecedented incident that occurred in Pantheon. So even after everything was over, the aftermath was still continuing.

Pantheon, the academy representing the Empire, was occupied by the Witch Cross Society and unidentified forces.

And the faculty and students were separately isolated. It was the worst situation, but fortunately, there were no deaths.

Also, I heard that there are many talks going on between the President and Archbishops of Pantheon about the merits.

‘But it wasn’t an atmosphere where we could continue lectures and training normally.’

Since that unprecedented incident couldn’t be resolved quickly. So Pantheon was temporarily closed for the time being.

And for three days after the Magic War ended. I also had to lie down in my mansion for those three days due to extreme fatigue.

‘I also pushed myself too hard to catch Reister.’

But the surprise attack of the special forces was successful. I killed Reister with the last Extreme Night. Unfortunately, Chris’s whereabouts were unknown after that.

Anyway, I attacked Reister, who became the Dungeon boss, so the Dungeon disappeared as is.

And Olivia quickly lost her magical beast soldiers. Olivia was a strong witch enough to be a professor at Pantheon.

‘There was no match for quantity.’

Lilia and Rosette. And I and the other two also joined forces to capture her alive. So the Magic War was all over.

While I was lost in thought for a while. Aylin, who was temporarily cleaning my room, said.

“It was too dangerous to be called a festival.”

And fortunately, Aylin was away from Pantheon on the night the Magic War started, so nothing happened. Instead, she seemed to have suffered a lot during the Magic War period when I was isolated.

Even though I only had physical fatigue and no serious injuries. She nursed me by staying by my side for three days. And during those three days, I felt strange about Aylin.

‘Because all the memories have returned.’

Like that memory. I was Yulian from the beginning to the end.

So the memories before and after possession. To be exact, the memories before amnesia and all the memories of what I did after amnesia are intact and remain as one.

Of course, I regained all the memories of my delinquent days. So I remembered being mean to Aylin.

Of course, the reason why my personality was ruined was all because of the curse of the voice.

‘Anyway, I feel so sorry for Aylin… I want to hide somewhere because I’m ashamed.’

And not only during those delinquent days, but also after losing my memory. I vaguely had a relationship with Aylin.

Of course, all of that was what I did. Now I even know all of Aylin’s erogenous zones.

Now that I have recovered all my feelings and memories for Aylin. The fact that the two of us mixed our bodies so much made my face hot.

In fact, Aylin was my childhood friend, a sister-like existence, and at the same time, my first love.

‘To have my first experience with Aylin like a moron.’

As much as I was in love with Aylin. It was also true that there was some regret left.

I wanted a romantic first experience with her after confessing my feelings first as an adult, not like that.

Before becoming a delinquent, I was drawing such a future with Aylin.

‘Well, that doesn’t matter now.’

First love is precious to everyone. But I had a duty to love all my wives equally. It seems that the blood of the dragon is now stronger than the blood of humans in me.

Besides, the instincts of the dragon seemed to have already manifested when I was young. In fact, I liked not only Aylin but also my fiancée Lilia.

The two were completely different styles of beauties. It wouldn’t be strange if I, who was a rascal, liked both of them.

‘Was I… a playboy?’

Of course, now. It’s a meaningless worry now that I’ve already decided to take all the heroines as wives.

In the first place, it’s funny for a dragon to have such worries.

“Young Master? What’s wrong, imnikka?”

But even while having such complicated thoughts, I seemed to be staring blankly at Aylin.

‘Well, maybe it can’t be helped.’

As expected, something was still missing. I simply organized my thoughts and said to Aylin.

“Aylin. Would you like to come up on the bed?”
