Chapter 67 - 13: Magic of Death

Dragnof

Royal Castle

A great dragon was lying on the ground with many wounds on his body, a young red-haired woman rushed towards him.

"Belserion!"

Belserion then looked at Irene with a slight smile on his face and said in a hoarse voice.

"Irene don't worry about me, I already know my death is approaching, I want to warn you...the anti-human dragon faction wants to launch a final assault on Crocus, the entire dragon army will attack together, if we win, this war will be over and if we lose... mankind will be wiped out..."

"Irene.. Beware of the red-haired wizard, beware..."

"The red-haired wizard? Is he the one who did this to you? ...Belserion!!!"

"..Beware of the red-haired wizard.."

Belserion's breath vanished, his head fell to the ground as Irene cried as she held Belserion in her arms.

"Belserion..."

A few hours later, Irene summoned Dragnof's army and all the mages of the city, then after a day of preparation, she led the army to Crocus.

The same scene was happening all over the continent, magicians, dragon slayers, soldiers, mercenaries, all the forces of the continent were going towards Crocus.

The fortress of Crocus became even more protected, and many kingdoms formed alliances to regroup their armies.

All the most powerful fighters of the continent were gathered, waiting for the beginning of hostilities.

In the bas.e.m.e.nt of the Dragon Hunter Guild an evil energy emanated from a room, this room was filled with various materials and countless books, in the center of the room there was a circle with a diameter of 10m with four pentagrams on the sides of the circle and countless strange patterns, in three of the Pentagrams was a crystal ball filled with magical energies.

A man with half greyish red hair entered the room, from the man emanated an aura of death, his skin was slightly dry, his eyes were completely white, he walked with difficulty with the help of a cane while holding in his arms a crystal ball similar to the three mentioned above, which he slowly deposited in the empty pentagram.

"Four high level dragon lacrima, 111 magical circles placed all over the continent, a sacrificial four pentagram magical circle..."

Then he slowly removed a purple stone from his pocket and held it firmly in his hands before sitting in the center of the circle.

"And finally a soul stone."

Then a slight evil gleam passed through his eyes.

"All that's missing is the final ingredient."

. . . . . . .

A gigantic cloud was heading towards Crocus, it was a completely dark cloud, creating a gigantic magical fluctuation, the cloud covered everything 60km away, leaving only darkness.

The mages and the fighters at Crocus seeing this was stunned, a feeling then crossed their hearts it was, the feeling of fear, of weakness, an incomparable terror.

Because it wasn't a cloud!

It was the dragons!

"Prepare the Magic Cannons!!"

"Soldier of Crocus, Attack!"

"Soldier of Dragnof prepares you for battle!!!"

"Soldier of Alaster prepare for battle!!!"

"Einstein's soldier...."

The soldiers of the different nations then rushed towards the dragons.

Further on, a beautiful young blonde woman and a rather elderly man were also preparing for the confrontation.

A man wearing a mage's coat then came next to the young blonde woman.

"Miss Anna, the Heartfilia clan is ready for battle!"

Anna then nodded her head and looked at the old man.

Yug then laughs and says casually.

"I am approaching death, I have used my magic too much, I have only two to four years left to live, if I have to die so much die in battle."

Hearing this Anna was slightly saddened but finally she turned her eyes away from Yug and gazed the cloud of dragons coming towards the fortress.

"Do you think he'll come?"

"Don't talk to me about that damn kid, he dared to abandon us at Dragnof without even contacting us in over two years, humpf... If i sees him, I'll kick his ass!"

"ha-ha-ha."

Anna laughed, almost forgetting that they were about to start a fight that would surely lead them to their deaths.

"Yug, I'm glad I met you and Haruto."

"Litlle girl, I'm glad I met you too..."

The two then remained silent for a while and then accompanied by about fifty mages headed towards the battlefield.

At the same time throughout the continent, 111 magic circles began to shine, in the bas.e.m.e.nt of the Dragon Hunter guild, the four lacrima then melted into a black substance that entered Haruto's body, the magic circle also became luminous, the piece of soul stone in Haruto's hand, slowly floated in the air for a few seconds and then like a bullet from a pistol rushed towards Haruto and pierced his heart.

The room suddenly calmed down, the magic circle faded from the floor, Haruto's heartbeat stopped, his body became pale, his hair turned completely grey, but in his eyes two magic circles began to appear.

A dark energy then appeared around his body, the magic circles scattered over the continent also became dark at the same time.

Time passed and Haruto's body began to disintegrate, his skin cracked and turned to dust, the evil aura that surrounded him became even more powerful.

A few minutes later, all that was left was his heart which had a purple tint, his two eyeballs with two magic circles and his skeleton.

Suddenly a scene worthy of a horror movie occurred : Haruto's skeleton slowly rose from the ground, then from his skeletal jaw a deep and evil voice said.

"Forbidden Magic of Death: Sacrificial Seal."
