Chapter 170 - Taming was Dangerous

Taming was Dangerous

“So, you didn’t know about that...?”

“Yeah. No one told .”

“I see... Usually, you would notice how slow the magic recovery is, even if no one told you... But perhaps when you are at the level of being able to use Hellfire of Death twice, it is not noticeable.”

“Well, I also mostly just tad slis.”

If the amount of energy depletion was proportionate to the strength of the monster, then slis might be close to 0.

After all, they were practically harmless in combat.

So in that regard, slis were probably a good fit for a sorcerer.

“I had thought you had a lot of slis... But Yuji, have you really tad nothing else...?”

“There’s also Proud Wolf and Slibird.”

“...Neither of those would consu much energy.”

Apparently, I had been taming very power efficient monsters without knowing it.

Well, perhaps it was because I hadn’t t any strong monsters that I was able to communicate with.

But...dragons seed like they would be horribly inefficient.

“So, you don’t think I should ta you because I will run out of MP?”

“Yes. If you ta a monster that is too strong for you, your MP will diminish over ti. But it may take a while for you to be sucked dry...but if the MP consumption is faster than your recovery speed, then you will be left empty eventually.”

I see. So it’s not like you lost a ton of MP and died the mont you tad them.

Thinking of it like that, it actually seed safer than sothing like ‘Curse of Eternal Tundra.’

That magic felt like it would kill if I used it while low on energy.

“...Taming can be undone, right? Does that an it can be temporary, and I could undo it before my magic runs out?”

“That may be fine for a third-rate sorcerer. That is fine... But it is dangerous for an advanced sage. After all, they can ‘exceed the limit and use magic.’ You can do that, can’t you?”

Limit... Did he an when my MP went below 0?

Yes, I was able to still use magic when that happened.

And when that did, my HP would go down.

It happened practically every ti I used Hellfire of Death or Cuse of Eternal Tundra.

I even fainted when using Helffire of Death twice.

“Yeah. I fainted from it once.”

“Fainted. That is why it is dangerous to ta a dragon. Usually, when you faint from that, your MP would slowly recover...but if you’ve tad a monster that is too strong for you, your MP will continue to go down. That is how Lelior died.”

I see.

Indeed...it was pretty dangerous. If you fainted you were pretty much dead.

And I wouldn’t be able to undo the taming if I was unconscious.

“Alright. I won’t ta you then.”

“That is good. That being said...even if I am not tad, there is still a way I can cooperate. We should establish a thod of communication.”

“What about using the slis?”

“Ah. Yes, there are slis in my domain as well. And since they have no sense of caution, it will be easy to ta them.”

So the slis that lived in the dragon’s territory were also not very cautious...

I guess slis were just like that no matter where you went.

It was a wonder they hadn’t gone extinct...

“Okay. I might ask for your help one day. Uhh...”

“...Ah, I haven’t introduced myself yet. My na is Baozard. I look forward to working with you, modern sage.”

A few hours later.

I had tad the slis that lived in Baozard’s land, and was performing a communication test.

‘Uh. Can you hear ?’

‘I can hear you with no problem. What is the situation there?’

‘Right now, I sent the slis into the base of the Blue Moon of Salvation so they can scout out the place.’

I said. Then I used Shared Senses to see what they were seeing.

The slis were currently in the eting room.

Apparently, they had already heard about the destruction of the Universal Purification Device. The room was surrounded in a dark atmosphere.

“It’s over...”

I could hear one of the mbers groan.

I had been worried about the possibility of so secret trump card...but it looked like I was wrong.

“How long do we have until the dragon returns?”

“Barely any. There is still ti until the return of the Black Dragon of Destruction...but the Red Dragon Herald should return any mont now.”

“This is horrible...can we do sothing?”

“It’s impossible. The Universal Purification Device was our last hope. But now that we have lost the machine and the source of power, there is nothing that we can do.”

From what I heard...so dragon called the ‘Red Dragon Herald’ was going to return.

Well, there was no guarantee that the Blue Moon of Salvation had accurate information, but... Since it was true that they had mysterious technology, it was very possible that this dragon would appear.

I hoped it would be a dragon that could be killed with Hellfire of Death, but if it was like the Blue Dragon of Delight, then things would get very bad.

“...So there’s nothing we can do. If only we could repair the Universal Purification Device, we could have done sothing...”

“It destroyed it during its escape. What an accursed dragon it was.”

“But it’s possible that a human was involved. Only the most advanced dispelling magic would have been able to do anything about those stakes.”

Oh.

I had really wanted them to assu it was all the dragon’s work...but they were getting suspicious now.

That being said, even if they knew a human was involved, they still didn’t seem to know that it was .
