“This is the blue moon. When I was young, I was quite interested in this planet, another source of magic, but I gave up right after calculating the distance between the moon and the Earth. I never thought we could continue to accelerate in space without slowing down.”

Decaravia said with a little emotion.

In this world, there is magic that can generate propulsion in the air, so a magician who has reached a certain level can go outside the universe with his bare body, but he is still a human.

When humans are exposed to outer space, their respiratory organs are exposed to a vacuum, and the oxygen contained in their lungs and blood is forcibly pulled out, causing them to die as a result of ordinary suffocation.

This happens regardless of the strength or weakness of physical ability.

In addition, the space environment is like a vacuum, so heat conduction is low, but outer space is still extremely cold, so it is difficult for ordinary people to endure, and on the contrary, they are directly hit by the sunlight of stars that exceed hundreds of degrees.

There was also the problem of air pressure.

Although the skin and flesh are not exploding like in the movies, the pressure difference is still difficult for a magician with an ordinary body to withstand.

In order for humans in the Madou Universe to go outside the universe bare-handed, they must overcome the above conditions.

Asphyxiation, extremely cold, extremely high temperature, barometric pressure.

Even for a great magician who has reached the A-rank level, it is very difficult to figure out the above conditions and attempt space travel while paying attention to them.

Naturally, most magicians who tried to go to space died, and because of that, knowledge about space was nonexistent or rare in this world.

Considering the information from future predictions about demon lords coming and going, it doesn’t seem like there are no successful people at all.

“But would you please explain why you came here? The Blue Moon is certainly interesting, but I guess I came here because I saw something in Destiny.”

Decaravia responded to what she said, thinking that I needed to know information about what she was searching for.

“This blue moon is the legacy of the dragon. Perhaps the fact that this satellite naturally emits magical energy has something to do with dragons.”

Decavaria opened his eyes wide and spoke at my words.

“What? Is that really true? Are blue moons and dragons related?”

“Yes, but don’t expect too much. It looks like several other demon lords have visited.”

Having said this, it still doesn’t change the fact that this blue moon is an interesting subject of research.

This blue moon, when I came here and saw it for myself, was completely devoid of demonic powers.

And that’s the most special thing about this blue moon.

Demon role, so you don’t have a sound dimension, but you’re spewing out magical power?

Even if there was nothing to be gained here, this blue moon had considerable research value.

“The land on the moon is so large, why worry? There’s definitely something left to gain! No, just getting information about the dragon is the same as success!”

Even after hearing my words, Decarabia did not stop being excited and seemed impatient as if he was going to rush inside.

But I shook my head and stopped her.

“Calm down. I don’t have the time to explore this place in detail. The area of this moon is almost the size of a continent. It would be difficult to precisely explore this scale even if it took 100 years.”

The Blue Moon is only about half the size of Earth’s Moon, but its overall area is close to the size of a small continent.

In addition, this blue moon does not have a demonic area, so omniscient observation through reality prediction is impossible.

Special means were needed to explore large areas.

“If it’s my essence’s magical eye, I can observe something special just by looking at it, so it won’t take long.”

“In such a simple way? I’m sure there will be a lot of things missed!”

“Well, that can’t be helped. In the first place, we have to return within 6 days.”

“6 days? What does that mean again?”

“There is going to be an attack by demons.”

“No! Something like that would happen, but would you come to the moon?”

“Then should I go back now?”

“No, Khorne is very strong thanks to the magic I enchanted, so I think it will be okay if the Demon King himself comes. And since we’ve come all the way here, shouldn’t we just go ahead and do the search, Solomon?”

Decarabia coldly asserts my words.

He was actually more interested in the items left behind by the dragon than in the city of Khorne.

Anyway, with Dekarabia’s urging, I began to search the blue moon sky for something unusual.

And several times I found empty ruins that may have already been swept away by other demon lords.

Several dragon remains were found.

“Oh! Solomon! This is a very rare treasure! On earth, it’s something that only remains in records. All that was left on earth was wiped out by the self-proclaimed descendants of dragons!”

Decaravia hurries over to excavate the dragon’s remains and begins to talk about information that only he knows.

What is left on the ground is highly polluted to begin with, and most of it is of low quality.

It is used as an elixir by those who use auras,

In addition, the demon lords ahead of him have already swept away the remaining supplies on earth with their foreknowledge of reality.

After pouring out such ordinary complaints, he started talking about the function of the dragon’s remains.

The dragon’s skull is the strongest among the keels, the cervical vertebrae have the most complex structure for spouting the keel and breath, and the dragon’s claws basically start with three.

Decarabia saw the keel in front of him and started running away.

‘Now that I think about it, this guy gave a comprehensive speech before when explaining verbs.’

Decaravia seemed to have quite a special feeling and admiration for dragons.

Are he interested in dragons and magic?

I ignored what he said and started going about my business.

The process of exploring the dragon’s remains.

Detailed exploration using psychometry and the magical eye of essence.

As a result, I was able to learn more about the dragons of this magic universe and notice their unique characteristics.

That means that the level of an Auror is maturity.

As time passed and my body grew, my aura became stronger.

As your Aura becomes stronger through training, your body will naturally grow as well.

This could be inferred because the size of the remains was exactly proportional to the level of Auror during life, and the age was different for each person, as it was determined through psychometry.

‘Time is the strength of life. Most of the remains are B-level, but some have A-level power.’

It was a power and level that was greatly inferior to that of the dragon of the pure universe.

However, what is truly scary about the dragons of this magic universe is that there is almost no limit to their numbers and lifespans sufficient to form a civilization.

From the largest skeleton, I psychometrically discovered that it had lived for 4,000 years.

4,000 years old?

A lifespan that is comparable to that of the spirits of the True Universe or the monsters of the Divine Spirit Universe.

I couldn’t help but admire that it was indeed a dragon.

“Solomon, are you listening to me?”

Decarabia finally stopped chatting and focused his attention on me.

I gave her a cursory nod and said.

“Okay, so this keel is the Auror’s elixir?”

“That’s true… But losing such a valuable specimen to a swordsman’s auror or something like that would be a loss to the magic world…”

I didn’t pay attention to what she said and cast a magic spell at Keel Bone.

Whether or not Decaravia screamed at the crackling, shattering keel, I focused on the life force pouring into me.

Indeed, the life force of the dragon was concentrated in these dragon bones, and I felt my blood magic energy and the law of life growing at the same time as I absorbed it.

The blood demon energy gradually approached the source of life,

The Law of Life, which had already devoured the dragon’s humanity, gradually grew in size by devouring the dragon’s life force as well.

And I felt the shape of a dragon writhing within the law of life.

At the same time, my body momentarily turned into a dragon and then back into a human, and things around me, literally the ground, the air, and even the keel and magic, were temporarily transformed into the shape of the dragon.

Earth dragon, wind dragon, bone dragon, demon dragon…

A natural feature that slowly takes shape every time the dragon contained in the law within me pulsates.

I thought that maybe this was the natural birth process of a dragon due to its status.

However, the dragon within the law was quickly suppressed due to the difference in size, and the birth of the dragon was limited to just a shape.

“The law of dragons has not completely melted into me.”

For a moment, I frowned as I felt that my law of life was almost transformed into a dragon.

Is it too out of balance? Or is the Dragon Aspect’s control too strong? If not, is the problem of integrating the dragon powers of the four universes?

I realized that it would be dangerous to collect more dragon aspects than this.

Although I gained the life force of a dragon and my law grew by nearly 10% compared to before, I didn’t know that having my law of life completely converted to that of a dragon would do more harm than good.

The moment I was about to worry about this side effect,

“Wow… It was like that… I thought something was strange, but that’s what it was.”

Decarabia nodded as if he had realized something when he saw the dragon’s law within me running rampant.

The guy carried out his delusion on his own.

“I see, Solomon, you were actually a dragon disguised as a human? Babel code was actually created based on verbs…! Ah!”

“Stop talking nonsense and continue the search.”

I helped Decarabia come to his senses by hitting him on the head while he was talking nonsense.

“Are you trying to hide the truth? Don’t worry. My mouth is heavy.. evil! No, with words! In words!”

Leaving behind Decarabia holding his head, we began to continue our search.

And, very fortunately, I was able to immediately find the entrance to the ruins buried in the ground.

A huge gate tightly closed with a thick stone door.

When I saw the gate protected by powerful magic, I thought I could finally get a decent harvest.

The fact that the gate is closed like this means that no one else has entered.

“Hmm?”

As I approached to destroy the gate, I felt the gate reacting with the spirit of desire within me, the essence of the dragon.

As I approached, the huge gate opened with a harsh rusty metal sound.

The magic contained in this gate was that it opened in response to the nature of the dragon.

And Decarabia nods his head again after seeing this scene.

“I have no intention of hiding it anymore. Came all the way to the blue moon to take the rightful inheritance… Smash!!”

I waved my hand and the guy rolled around on the ground with a loud crashing sound.

“Ugh… Ah, my head is broken! My skull is broken! Ugh…”

“I keep saying that because I said no.”

I dug into the ruins, hoping that he would show some remorse.

Inside, a huge, long hallway that goes underground.

The history of dragons was painted like a mural on a passageway large enough for hundreds of people to pass through, which was probably built to allow dragons to pass through.

I slowly headed inside while looking at the mural, and Decarabia, who had been rolling around on the ground, hurriedly got up and joined me, asking me to go with him.

And Decarabia looks at the mural with curiosity and seriousness.

“The dragon, a race of sailors who perished due to a flood of demonic territory before humans… This mural is probably their history…”

And the guy frowning and glaring at the mural.

“The picture in this mural is both a painting and a text. It’s probably Yongja, a character written for dragons for which there is very little historical information, but I don’t know what it means, perhaps because it’s a foreign language.”

“They say that in the beginning, the proto-dragon was born from the law.”

Of course, even though Decarabia couldn’t read dragon script, I, who had Babel, could read it.

“Wow! dragon..! Oh, no, I didn’t say anything. Put down that hand.”

Decarabia flinched when I raised my hand.

But even for a moment, he clung to me like a piece of cake and spoke in confusion.

“Could you please translate the mural, Solomon? huh? Don’t ignore us, our bodies are also intertwined!”

I felt annoyed by Decarabia’s chattering and roughly translated the mural.

“Hmm… At first, the proto-dragon was just a beast, but after living for 100,000 years, it realized its own intelligence, the principles of things, and abilities. One day, when it saw a family of beasts, it felt lonely, and it divided itself into numerous dragons.◦ @◦

“Oh… 100,000 years. It’s a distant time even for the devil.”

“What happens next is the story of how divided dragons fought and prospered. There was a fight over the origin of the 72 demon powers, and in the midst of it, a being called the Dragon King was born.”

“I think a lot of the story was omitted…”

“Hmm? An important story begins here. Although the population of dragons was small, the by-products of life in the demon realm had already reached its limit due to the activities of ordinary beasts accumulated over tens of millions of years. When the boundary collapsed and disaster occurred, the dragons gathered together to discuss measures to prevent the overflow of the demon realm. The idea was to escape and move to another place, perhaps this Blue Moon.”

As soon as I finished speaking, the mural ended.

The story recorded through the mural ends here.

Even if I omitted the story about the red dragon and the yellow dragon in the middle, it was a shorter and more meaningless story than I thought.

“Does the story end there? But then, why are the dragons who migrated to the Blue Moon completely wiped out?”

“I don’t know that either. Still, what’s inside might be the answer.”

After turning four times and walking diligently, we finally arrived at a huge underground cavity.

There was a passageway like the one I walked through in all directions, and there were huge dragons, humans, demon corpses, and blue gems.

The blue jewel, no, upon closer inspection, this jewel was a huge heart.

The source of the blue moon, which generates enormous magical energy on its own and procures magical energy along the magic lines of connected enchantments.

When I looked at it with my original magical eye, I was able to see what principle this dragon’s heart had.

A magical essence that replicates the functions of the sound dimension.

“Awesome. Is this the SS level of magic? It replaced Demon Station.”

It was ‘reason’ that was formed by combining the spell and the spirit of the magician.

A permanent spell, something close to a crude law.

This principle has become more complete in the state of magic called Regalia.

Regalia now exists in the same realm as law, and has the same coercive force as order, and at the same time is self-complete and stable, and remains permanently even if the caster is separated or dies.

And this heart I see before my eyes.

The level of magic shown by the magic enchanted in this heart went even further than regalia.

The laws of magic were replacing the laws of reality.

The pinnacle of magic is that it has reached a level equal to the law!

And I could see why there were no survivors on this blue moon.

“Solomon… This is no different from a bomb. Don’t touch it.”

Decaravia took a step back, revealing a pale complexion.

“Yes, the dragons were destroyed because they touched this bomb incorrectly.”

The truth was simple.

The magic contained in this heart, which replaces the laws of reality, is dismantled.

Just as the by-products of life, mind, and soul abandoned in the demonic realm, the negative dimension, were converted by the source of the demonic realm and became magical power.

This blue gem draws souls from the earth, dismantles them, and turns them into magical power.

And if this blue gem went berserk…

It may be that the souls of all the dragons in the blue moon have disintegrated.
