Chapter 319: Simply Unimaginable!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Although Uda Town was destroyed, there must still be some resources that were left intact. These were necessities for the Beastman if they wished to migrate.
Just as the Beastman were salvaging the last of their resources, Link appeared in an exceptionally humble manner. He simply looked too ordinary when compared to Felina and Nana. He was even wearing a grey cape, making him even more inconspicuous.
Felina and him were circling Todelron’s body, observing this guy who appeared to have been resurrected from the dead.
“He seemed to have died for real this time,” Link circled Todelron as he said. He could not feel any vitality from the body.
Felina then checked Todelron’s oral cavity. He was simply way too reckless when using the dragon breath attack, as though he was doing it at a complete disregard of his body.
Upon opening Todelron’s mouth, one could tell that he was obviously seriously injured from his own attack. His oral cavity was completely charred, and blisters could be seen lining up along his throat.
Link was confused at this sight as well. He frowned as he said, “Judging from his insane actions, he must have been prepared to die.”
Felina sighed. “Indeed. He could actually have escaped. I cannot understand why he is going to this extent for Isendilan.”
Link said, “Perhaps it is some sort of contract. That is strange. I did not feel any peculiar presence on his body. He seemed like just an ordinary dragon. How did he revive himself the first time?”
It was not impossible to resurrect oneself in the World of Firuman, though it was bounded by a set of strict rules.
For example, Dean Anthony’s Arbiter’s Wand could revive the dead. However, he had once told Link that a resurrection spell was simply an extremely strong healing spell.
Only those who had just died and managed to keep most of their body intact could be revived. They also must not have suffered too devastating damage. Furthermore, it was only a possibility that they could be revived. Those who were revived would also be branded with a weakened status for half a year as compensation.
In the game, the archbishops were also bounded by a strict set of rules if they wished to revive someone within the church. The player would be in a weakened state for a day after he was revived.
However, Todelron’s body was first heavily damaged by the traps before he was roasted by a Level-9 Lightning spell in the High Elf Tomb. He should not have fulfilled the conditions to be revived. It was peculiar that he achieved a breakthrough in strength even after he was resurrected.
This was not making any sense.
“Is he only being so reckless because he knows that he will be resurrected?” Link predicted.
“That is possible,” Felina agreed with Link. While she was fighting Todelron, that was the exact feeling that she experienced. Todelron seemed to be fearless. Such brazenness was rarely seen in the dragon race who were known for their longevity.
There was still too little information for Link to come to a conclusion. He then said, “Perhaps we were too careless last time and gave him a chance to escape. Let’s prevent it this time around.”
Link then took out his wand and pointed it at Todelron’s body. He then cast his newest spell, Spatial Rend.
Spatial Rend
Ungraded Spatial Spell
Effect: Causes spatial frequency to change at an extremely fast rate in an unpredictable manner. This would create countless forcefields in the affected space, disintegrating all matter in the area.
Link spent 2000 Mana Points without hesitation and boosted the power of this spell to a Level-6 equivalent. This should be more than enough to deal with a corpse.
A few extremely faint rumblings could be felt. This continued for three seconds before a terrifying thing happened.
The gigantic body of the dragon started to expand, and after two seconds, the dragon’s skin tore, causing large amounts of fine white powder to flow out of the ruptured area.
The destruction had not ended. Following which, even the dragon’s skin started disintegrating, becoming a fine, white powder.
The gigantic dragon had been reduced to a pile of white powder. A cool breeze then scattered that powder across the area.
“His ashes have been buried and integrated into this plot of land. He should not be coming back this time around.”
Felina still felt a tinge of pain in her heart watching a member of her race subjected to such treatment, though she agreed with Link’s method. This would also completely destroy his corpse, removing the physical evidence of a dragon committing such a heinous crime.
By that time, the Beastman had salvaged most of what was left. An old Beastman walked forward and stopped when he saw the pile of ashes on the ground. He then stared at Link defensively though he tried to contain his wariness. He greeted Felina as he said, “Oh mighty red dragon, we are prepared.”
From their perspective, Felina was the leader of the group.
Felina then stared at Link for help. Link whispered, “It is best for a Magician to stay under the shadows. I feel that this is not the end of our problems. I have to stay low.”
Felina understood Link’s words. Todelron was the one who committed these heinous acts. As a red dragon herself, she naturally felt apologetic towards the Beastman. She then replied gently, “Let’s go.”
The old Beastman then retreated and hollered a few words at the rest of the group. They then started moving.
“He is slightly wary of us,” Link said as he stared at the old Beastman.
“That is normal. There have been many instances of red dragons attacking Beastman towns and village recently,” a voice rang. Link looked in that direction and realized that it came from a human merchant.
“I am Masos, a merchant. Greetings to the respectable Magician,” He bowed to Link before he continued, “The red dragons destroyed their hometowns. They do not trust any red dragons. Oh, beautiful lady of the dragon race, they are merely respecting you out of fear and self-protection.”
Felina looked at the Beastmen once more and realized that their gazes were indeed filled with suspicion and fear. Some of them immediately averted their gaze the moment she looked over.
