Chapter 593 - Fallen Dragon 4 (2/2)
Reichard thought that the power of the dragon in him would destroy the monster, but it was all an illusion.
Slassh!
The power of the skeleton scattered in the air and began to wrap around Reichard’s body, like a snake.
“This!”
Reichard tried to wave off the powder.
However, the powder soon infiltrated his mouth, nose, and eyes. It flooded into him.
To explain would be tough, but it was like a battle that was spread in all four directions.
“Kuakk!”
Reichard screamed and struggled with pain as if his entire body was burning.
He tried to shake off the powder using his Dragonian abilities, but every time he moved, the powder seeped deeper into his body a lot faster.
“Kuakkk!”
His consciousness finally faded in a situation where he choked. He couldn’t see or hear anything.
Thud!
The lab door shook as if something happened.
“Your Majesty, did something happen?”
The escort knights waiting outside ran into the room after hearing Reichard’s screams.
At first, they thought it was just yelling.
The Dragonian, who was the descendant of the dragon, was strong enough to get rid of anyone.
Reichard was an excellent swordsman, and he was good at ancient magic—dragon magic—as well. No 8th magic circle wizard could stand against him.
Would such a strong king scream?
They thought their king might just be exhausted. However, they heard it again.
They broke through the door and ran inside. Reichard was standing there with his sword pulled out.
“Your Majesty, was it an assassin?”
“Did you get hurt?”
Reichard’s body seemed a little above the floor for some time, and soon, he landed.
He casually replied while putting away his sword, “Why are you making such a fuss?”
“We heard your screams and came in.”
“I screamed? I did?”
The knights were flustered when Reichard asked them.
“Huh? Then you weren’t attacked by an assassin?”
“I wasn’t attacked. Did you hear my scream?” Reichard asked while pointing at Vasyli, who was behind the knights.
“I didn’t hear anything, Your Majesty. I just heard the sound of scraping from the nearby workshop. It seems like the knights are mistaken. Please forgive us.”
At the words of Vasyli, the escorts knights laughed as if they were mistaken.
“Majesty, did you meet Rabua?”
“There was no one inside.”
One of the young wizards came in at the words of Reichard.
With a puzzled look, he asked Vasyli, “Meister, you came? Why did you come into my lab?”
“What… Rabua, you were out?”
“Yes, to find the things I needed… Hiik, Your Majesty!”
Rabua, who recognized Reichard late, bowed to him.
Reichard smiled at the wizard and reached out to him.
“Get up. You did nothing wrong. You don’t have to bow down like that.”
“I-I am sorry.”
Rabua held the hands of Reichard with a smile on his face.
However, it wasn’t because of the joy of being recognized by the king.
‘Master, it was a success.’
‘Kul, kul, kul, he was supposed to be a Dragonian, but he wasn’t much.’
The two exchanged words with just their eyes.
In fact, Rabua was a warlock of the Veritas Magic Tower.
It wasn’t just that. The real identity of Vasyli was Albert, the Meister of Veritas Magic Tower.
With Nestar’s spell, he used magic to disguise himself as Vasyli and infiltrated the Libiya Kingdom to lay down the groundwork.
He then brought Reichard all alone to meet Arsene.
Thanks to that, Arsene was able to seal away Reichard’s soul and take over his body with dark magic.
‘Well, this is a pity, but this body isn’t completely mine yet.’
Although he took over, Arsene was unable to use Reichard’s Dragon magic and sword skills.
In a hurry to seal away his soul, he wasn’t able to completely control Reichard’s ability and knowledge.
It just meant that Reichard was a difficult person to control.
However, Arsene didn’t seem too concerned about it.
It might take some time to analyze it, but he thought there was no way anything could stop him from tapping into Reichard’s skills.
‘Kul, kul, kul, just wait, Luke. I am going to come for your neck once I have made the Dragonian power mine!’
Looking over to the southeast where Symphonia was located, Reichard, well, Arsene smiled to himself.
