Chapter 128 - Episode Three - Three-Headed Dragon Nalgarn (3)
” ” “GISHAAAAAAAAAA!” ” “
Nalgarn wiggles its three heads and roars at each of them.
Its eyes were different from before.
They seemed to have officially recognized us as an enemy.
The sound of Nalgarn’s footsteps caused the ground to shake around us.
“wind, form, blade!”
Now I’m going to imagine two magic circles.
Once it turns out that the blades of wind are enough, the wait and see is over.
Two large wind blades appear and head towards Nalgarn’s neck as if they were sucked in.
With the first blade, the red head who had been thrust forward to strike his fangs flies away.
With the second blade, the yellow neck, which had been deflected back to let out a hot breath, flies away.
The two heads, which flew with great force, rolled away, cleaving down the trees.
This time, let’s send it to the one that doesn’t destroy nature as much as possible.
The trees here are good trees, after all.
Nalgarn exposes a section of the two heads to us.
Nalgarn stops in his tracks.
“Ki-, kishaaaa……”
The lone remaining blue head howled lowly as he looked left and right.
“Di-, did you do it?”
Mea asks fearfully.
“I can’t finish it. If I finish all three of them, they won’t grow back.”
“I-, I guess so.”
I use my hands like binoculars to narrow my vision and focus on the area near the section of Nalgarn’s neck.
Nalgarn’s neck glows, and a large magic circle emerges, and the two heads regenerate.
The two heads were scurrying around as if they didn’t know what had happened.
“Abel, is there something that’s bothering you?”
“…… Well, that magic circle isn’t very efficient.”
“Eeeeeh……”
Honestly, as a fellow sorcerer, this is an embarrassing achievement.
I know the quality isn’t very good at first glance, but the more I look at it, the worse it gets.
Since it’s treated as forbidden magic, it can’t be helped that there aren’t many precedents for it, but even so, there should be a little more to do.
What’s worse, the worst part is the double sending of adult information.
I don’t know what’s going on, but he pulled it from the past and mixed it up, and it looks like he just barely succeeded.
Other roughness is also noticeable, indicating that it wasn’t originally put together to regenerate Nalgarn, but rather a half-hearted diversion of what he was trying to use for other magical beasts.
Although the head has been re-grown, it has considerably reduced the quality of Nalgarn’s abilities and material.
Besides the duplication of biometric information, there were many other areas where Nalgarn’s magic power was being needlessly drained by inadvertently circulating it.
I mean, that guy on the far left is clearly independent, right? It’s not working, is it? You know right away you won’t need it, right?
“If I ever come to see your creator, I’ll have to give him a good lecture.”
“Eeeeeeh……”
However, that time wouldn’t come, though.
It’s probably a magic beast that has been used in the infighting on the other side of Fage territory, in the Kingdom of Riveras.
In the event of a war, there will be plenty of people who won’t abide by any kind of forbidden magic.
It’s just that such a flawed product was probably created due to a lack of materials and human resources.
It’s just that it has somehow crossed the mountain range and come to this Fage territory.
Perhaps it came long ago, and as rumor has it, it was sealed in a swamp and then crawled back up.
“I’d like to improve it, but…… as expected, it’s a blatant crime……”
If we are exposed, the first thing is we will definitely be wanted within the Dinrat Kingdom.
At that time, I’ll have no choice but to defect to the Riveras Kingdom and be assigned to the Magic Research Department.
If I’m caught, I’ll be treated as a major criminal along with the certain Margus-san, and if they have a chance, I might be thrown into the prison next to that guy.
As someone who immediately surrendered Zolomonia’s staff, it would just be awkward to face him now, so please don’t do that.
In the first place, there’s even a death penalty for the worst.
“The-, then you’re going to stop around here already then!”
Mea calls out to me happily.
“No, let’s at least just collect the heads. Next time, let’s go for the root as much as possible. Even if it deteriorates, it’s still quite hard, after all. There’s some use for it. By my calculations, we should be able to pick back a little over twenty more.”
“Ah…… yes.”
” ” “Kishaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!” ” “
Nalgarn turned his back on us and ran off.
He’s even faster than when he was coming towards us. Get serious from the beginning.
“Elia-san, can I have you chase that?”
“Poo-, poor Nargarn……”
Elia touched her hand to her lips and said quietly.
“Oh, you too…… see, you think so, don’t you? Somehow I managed to convince him……”
Elia calls out to Mea.
“Meme, Mea…… Mea thinks it would be better for you to do as Abel says.”
“Hey, wait, can you say that again without looking away?”
In the meantime, Nalgarn is getting further and further away from us.
Oh, that’s the direction of the Fage village…… I should stop at least its legs, for now.
“Earth, turn to swamp”
I cast a spell and a large magic circle around Nalgarn’s feet emerges.
The moment Nalgarn takes his next step, his foot sinks, and Nalgarn’s huge body will sink into the swamp.
” ” “Kishaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!” ” “
Nakgarn’s pitiful screams echoed.
They sank deeper and deeper into the swamp until finally, only their heads were sprouting out of the swamp.
It was simply the result of an adjustment to prevent it from sinking out but combined with the current situation, it was almost just an execution site.
Shall we increase the viscosity of the swamp at the scaffold and keep it completely immobile?
“Kishaa……”
The blue head let out a small squeal while the red and yellow heads were silent and parched.
It was a squeal that reminded me of a pig in a slaughterhouse.
“Bru-, brutal……”
Elia mutters.
“N-, no, for now, I just made sure It doesn’t go to the village in the Fage territory, not that kind of thing……”
— An hour later, a total of twenty-five Nalgarn heads were lined up in the area.
The heads of Nalgarn were lined up in a variety of colors, and it was quite a spectacular sight.
I slapped my hand on the last severed head, which was one size smaller than the others.
“Yeah, well, if you process them, they’ll be of some use.”
“…… Well, what can I say, I’m not going to be surprised by anything the customer does anymore.”
Elia said with a slight drawl.
“Mea! Mea will definitely be with Abel no matter what happens!”
“Eh, Ahhh…… yeah, thanks?”
But the problem is hauling.
I think the maximum number of ropes the Asura 5,000 could drag is five.
The ropes can be smelted from earth and wood, so it’s not a problem.
“I can carry a few, but not all of them.”
I said, and the carriage horse shook its head.
Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to tie it to the carriage.
“For now, let’s just leave it and get the people from the Fage territory to help us collect it later. I want to rest as soon as possible and relax……”
After all, for an indoor person like me, a carriage for days is still unbearable.
“…… If you don’t al least one, no one will believe you, I think.”
“Really? Then, I’ll take three of them, just in case.”
“But since the lord, Lark has a reputation for being greedy and lazy, you might want to be careful about asking for backup.”
“Oh, man.”
If I asked for support, it seems like there would be more room for Lark to take advantage of me for that amount of time.
In the first place, I have a feeling that they’re going to take a few percent of it with the accusation that it’s already a tax and whatnot even when they’re handling it within the territory.
Originally I didn’t want to be spotted by a nobleman, so I even used Gaston, but it would be the end of the world if I was caught by a sexist nobleman here.
If Lark gets greedy and starts putting my name elsewhere, the Marren and Doom tribes might come rushing over here.
“We’ll have to wait and see and move carefully…… but I don’t want to give up Nalgarn entirely……”
Even though there were no other places that were just right other than the Fage territory, it will be quite a struggle in the future.
As for Lark, even before the appearance of Nalgarn, the Fage territory itself did not want to actively interact with other lands, and there is little information about Lark other than its abstract reputation.
Once we get to the Fage territory, we’ll start by gathering information about Lark.
How to attack Lark, the lord, is going to be the biggest point in living in the Fage territory.
