To be honest, I wonder if I said sothing unnecessary.
Discipline was sothing that needed to be done while looking at the other person.
Since the other person was a dragon, it was not a problem.
The problem was the opponent didnt allow room for conversation.
Well, as you could see now.
Screech!
That Ice Dragon.
He was throwing a very angry Dragon Fear.
This was absolutely not a situation where I could let my guard down.
I looked at the ssage that appeared.
[The blessing of the first World Tree rejects Dragon Fear.]
It is also written in detail in the records of the Great Dragon-Demon War.
The dragons cry.
It was said that Dragon Fear made even the mages of the Mage Tower, who possessed strong ntal power, tremble. In that regard, I was greatly benefiting from the blessing of the World Tree, but
The problem is these words that ca out of my mouth.
The stubbornness to keep ones own words.
And the ethereal iron resembled the owner.
Thanks to this, the ethereal iron didnt change its form while dealing with the Ice Dragon.
My lord, controlling my strength is difficult.
The goal was to punish, not to cut.
Because of this mouth, only Eunaxus and I were having a hard ti.
Regardless of what I was thinking, the ethereal iron continued speaking.
In that regard, youre truly admirable, my lord.
Admirable, you said, are you making fun of !?
I was literally fighting back with all my might.
Still, the good news was that Prosnax had the spirit of youth.
Eunaxus had the sophistication of experience.
How are you going to take out?!
Prosnax persistently tried to fight.
Eunaxus took advantage of his relatively small size.
He narrowly missed Prosnax and gave a chance to swing the whip.
As expected, it must be the effect of Vivache.
But of course.
Eunaxus himself probably knew.
That we didnt have much ti.
It wouldnt be surprising if Eunaxus heart stopped the next ti he slid up. In that regard, this goal was terrible, and I ca to understand my place.
To reach the Dragon Temple at my current level.
It was unfortunate, but
I had to admit it.
The Ice Dragon was just the beginning.
According to Eunaxus words, there were dozens of dragons gathered for the dragon summoning.
Lets just say that I truly educated Prosnax and cleared [Hidden Piece, Ice Dragons Snowy Mountain]. There was a high possibility that the next dragon would jump out and greet us right away.
Flap!
Suddenly, White Elytra fluttered into view.
Eunaxus had distanced himself from Prosnax.
Then he spoke to .
I knew it would be like this.
You knew?
Unlike the ethereal iron, who I leeched out of.
Eunaxus must have looked at objectively through the eyes of a dragon.
He had lived for many years.
So wouldnt he have noticed it?
He could see how terrible my level was, excluding my tricks.
By the way, I didnt even know that.
Corporal punishnt or whatever, I was just yapping arrogantly.
This is why people have to be careful what they say!
My face got hot and I had nothing to say.
I was unable to do things like self-reflection.
All I could do was recite in a steady voice.
Did you?
Eunaxus continued speaking imdiately.
So I apologize. Even though I know that even if I receive Claudies grace, my old body will not be able to properly stand up to my own kin I could not refuse your rcy. I ask for your forgiveness.
What, you were talking about that?
Then thats a relief.
I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Wouldnt he bla for dragging him in when he didnt have the ability?
I was just worried.
So you dont have to ask for forgiveness, Eunaxus.
No, rather, what I want to ask is this.
Eunaxus.
Im listening, Lee Hoyeol Claudie.
Wont you truly regret it?
May I ask what you an?
If your heart stops at the next flap of your wings. If you fall to the bottom of the endless snow mountain. Im asking if youll have any regrets.
Eunaxus laughed.
Im sorry, I think I will regret it.
Those eyes were even more intense.
I still have a lot to pay back. I can only regret my weakness, being pushed aside by only a young blue dragon. I can only resent my aging body.
Yeah?
ls that right?
I spoke calmly.
Change the route. We will completely withdraw from the long-term war.
Youre going to withdraw?
There are a lot of people who need to be disciplined, so I will teach them quickly.
If that was how he felt.
We could increase the intensity of corporal punishnt a little more.
Then, among the 30 thods to bring the Ice Dragon.
I would move on to the simplest and most efficient way.
However, before that.
Ill ask you one last question.
I will answer as many questions as you want, Claudie.
Are you used to the cold?
?
You might be wondering what kind of things I am suddenly saying.
But this is an important topic, Eunaxus.
I thought of the collection of Senios strategies.
However, the true natural enemy of ice magic is not fire magic. Its fellow ice magic. Unlike fire magic, which is dependent on more intense heat. Cold magic that has reached a certain level cannot gain that advantage. This ans that a conclusion cannot be achieved with cold magic alone. This is because cold has a clear limit.
He even added that at this end.
In that regard, I feel regretful. If only I had existed in the Mage Tower when the Great Dragon-Demon War broke out. At least the Mage Tower would not have bowed down to the Ice Dragon. I can assure you, I would not have lost to soone like Ice Dragon.
As if he had predicted the future.
Really.
It was just like Elder Senios.
Even if that ant I would end up buried under eternal snow.
as long as the limit existed.
Cod and cold couldnt compete with each other.
Prosnax.
I would have to face him to find out if his coldness had reached its breaking point.
This side had definitely reached that threshold.
Yes, the limit of [Absolute Zero].
As Eunaxus widened the distance, Prosnax did the sa.
Unlike before, we flew into the sky.
We entered the next phase.
His next attack was predictable.
Fear, next of course its Breath.
Crackle!
Suddenly, it felt hot.
Flas were blazing around Eunaxus mouth.
It seed he was trying to counter Ice Dragons cold breath with his breath.
But you dont have to do that, Eunaxus.
Its fine.
?
You dont have to step forward.
!
Crackle?
Despite my words, Eunaxus couldnt easily pull back his Breath.
He was a fellow dragon.
So he must be well aware of the power of Dragon Breath.
But, its really fine, though?
I would have made a fuss if it were any other Breath.
If it was Cold Breath, as long as I had [Absolute Zero].
Even if we got hit.
It wouldnt cause any damage.
The situation was like that.
But this guys bossy act didnt go anywhere.
I opened my mouth solemnly.
So, I command you, Eunaxus.
This Old Dragon will follow Claudies orders.
Dont close your eyes without my permission.
!
Stay alive until I return.
Absolute Zero.
As I had been concerned about this oddity.
I also knew what its exact effect was.
It didnt just freeze the target.
Putting objects at absolute zero,
An absolute coldness that freezes even ti.
Yeah.
I would strike Prosnax at absolute zero where even the flow of ti was frozen! Not only it was la, this thod was also beyond reckless, but no matter how much I thought about it, this was the only way to do it.
Thump
While the dicine Vivache was still working.
To overco [Hidden Piece, Ice Dragons Snowy Mountain].
This was the only way.
It had to be shown through actions rather than words.
So I couldnt explain it in detail.
Eunaxus nodded.
I will.
All right, just wait.
I raised my mana and stood alone in the air.
From the moving Eunaxus to Proznax.
I shifted my gaze.
Crack
It was getting closer.
Ice Dragons cold pressure that cooled everything.
Without hesitation, I manifested oddity and Absolute Zero.
Just like Senios did.
From , myself.
From my heart.
In the circle that surrounded my heart.
With my breath.
With moisture in the air.
Lastly, Prosnax.
The range of manifestation of Absolute Zero had been increased.
A ssage appeared in front of my eyes.
[Inexplicable Cold occurs in you.]
[Inexplicable Cold rejects the Cold Breath.]
[Your flow of ti is distorted due to the influence of Inexplicable Cold.]
[Inexplicable Cold occurs in the Ice Dragon, Prosnax.]
[The Ice Dragon, Prosnaxs flow of ti is distorted due to the influence of Inexplicable Cold.]
In Absolute Zero, where even ti stopped.
Only and Prosnax existed.
If I were to compare it, would it be a space similar to consciousness.
From exorcism to social gatherings in ti and space.
I was used to the space of consciousness.
Is it the sa for you.
Prosnax?
What have you done to , you insignificant thing?
Prosnax was looking at Eunaxus, not .
Because of the distorted flow of ti.
He must have felt a sense of discomfort when he saw Eunaxus standing still like a picture.
Then he glared at again.
Seeing that I was fine even in the disappearing Cold Breath.
He chewed and spat out hostile words.
How dare you play a stupid prank.
Did he think it was a hallucination?
Prosnax opened his eyes.
Indeed, that appearance was also befitting of the king of all things.
Because he had a noble spirit like a king.
Just by simply opening his eyes.
He could easily shake off most status abnormalities, including illusion magic.
But, it was pitiful.
Its not a prank, hatchling.
As I said, this is not a play you would enjoy.
It wont end until you change your mind.
Its ti for eternal discipline.
How dare you..!!.
Even if you blow out Cold Breath in all directions, nothing will change.
I told you, didnt I?
Your cold air cant hurt , who is surrounded by Absolute Zero.
The sa goes for hand-to-hand combat.
Strictly speaking.
It was us who stopped, not Eunaxus.
It was safe to say that what happened in Absolute Zero was aningless.
Well, it might not be easy to understand.
I could guarantee, even if he had lived a thousand years.
This must be Prosnaxs first ti experiencing it.
But this was familiar to .
Because I had experienced sothing similar.
Yeah.
In Mugan.
The basent of the Mage Tower.
In the place that made the demon worshippers who were once revered as elder mages lose their sense.
Not only did I tip my teacup, I even calmly read a book.
That was how I always acted.
Even in ti that was stopped at absolute zero.
Since we wouldnt be disturbed.
I opened my mouth.
No matter how long it takes.
You!
I will wait until you reflect on yourself, hatchling.
As always.
It was a good thing that I anticipated and arranged for this situation.
I took out a green tea bag (for cold brew)
.
.
.
Did he an it?
Eunaxus looked at the two frozen figures.
Hoyeol and Prosnax.
Even though it was late, he was able to understand the aning of those words.
Is this what he ant when he asked if I was used to cold.!?
At this mont.
Right now.
He wanted to chase away that indescribable chill.
If he couldnt chase it away, he wanted to jump in it.
But it was impossible.
The chill that covered Hoyeol and Prosnax.
It was literally a different dinsion.
It didnt allow anyone to access it, including him.
Youre foolish, Eunaxus
What was the point of being the old dragon who had lived for eternity?
The aning of Hoyeols words.
How could he not even notice that one thing.!
Eunaxus didnt know what was going on between the frozen Hoyeol and Prosnax. But he pulled himself together. Yes, because there was sothing Hoyeol left behind.
Stay alive until I return.
Thats why he waited.
I will wait according to my word.
Even if.
Even if its for eternity.
.
.
.
A life of 10,000 years.
Each day felt like just another day.
So Eunaxus didnt know how long he had been waiting.
But even at this mont, ti was clearly passing.
Even in absolute zero where the flow was distorted.
Other than that.
How could he be so sure, you asked?
Because a black figure suddenly appeared in the air.
The black figure whispered to the frozen Hoyeol.
I, Diend, have returned after carrying out Masters orders.
Since I reported the results.
I found it.
And that one word.
The Claudie family mansion.
It was enough to wake him up.
Crack
The frozen mories of Claudies successor.
.
.
.
Crack
In the disappearing absolute zero.
I was astonished.
At the words of Diend.
The Cloudy family that had been forgotten.
The vast settings, one by one.
It all rose to the surface of my mories.
I tell all dragons.
So
I, Claudies successor, have returned.
In other words, this big mouth was just the beginning!
