Return of the Class 8 Mage
23. The dragon song (3)

The Book of the Songs of the Dragon (3)

It was truly a coincidence that Ian found the dragon songbook.

After he retired, he toured the continent, during his return to his hometown.

Without a plan, without making preparations for war.

Just a random walking trip, filled with fresh air and under the stars.

The old ivory tower is in its path.

‘I used to want to visit here in my life.’

In the past, Ian found a wine storage hidden under an old ivory tower.

The storage was cooled by a freezing spell.

Thanks to that, the wine there was fermented delicately.

“I can't just leave it.”

After he picked up some wine that was in good condition, he decided to remove the freezing spell in storage.

His resources may have worked for a hundred years.

A very large amount of mana must have been injected to strengthen the spell.

It was safer to eliminate magic to prevent further unexpected accidents.

‘Then I found something. There is lower space under storage.’

It turned out that the storage was not cooled by magic.

Of course, there was no source either.

It was the cold energy coming from far below that cooled the storage.

“This is the same as before.”

The wine storage he now visited earlier than in his previous life.

It remained the same as in his memory.

Cold air, magic sealed wooden wine container.

A large area filled with containers.

Most of them are empty containers.

‘I don't know who made it, but he must be an alcohol lover.’

Ian approached the large wine container, which was located in the middle.

It was so big that it could probably accommodate 10 adult men there.

It was fixed to the ground.

*tong Tong!*

Ian gently tapped on the large wine container.

It reverberated because it sounded hollow.

As in his previous life, he had a large size, but did not contain any wine in it.

*bang!*

No need to hesitate.

He destroyed the container with his magic.

The inside was later revealed.

It was no ordinary wine. It just looked like a wine container.

In reality, it has no basis. Instead, the rocky floor of the ivory tower was revealed.

‘She hid the entrance quite intelligently.’

In the past, Ian had thought the entrance should be hidden by some high-level technology.

For example, it is hidden by magic or magic-operated doors.

Just like the entrance of the wine storage, he expected several entrances with magic.

“And I know that the entrance is under the container.”

As the words were spoken, the candle leg was dark.

She's dazed.

It caused him to feel ashamed of himself until now.

*Grrrrr!*

Ian firmly pushed the rocky floor to the side.

He increased his strength with mana.

*Thirrrr……*

With the air freezing, a staircase was revealed.

It was so small that he needed to squeeze himself inside to descend further in his previous life.

“Not this time.”

Since Ian had a boy body, he didn't need to do it.

This was probably the first time she was grateful to have such a young body.

*Sweal!*

The water under the stairs greeted Ian first.

The ground doesn't look dark.

A single ball of light is not enough.

“Light.”

After he made a few more balls of light, he was finally able to find his way.

Although he had been here before, he was unable to find a way because he was blinded.

Furthermore, in deeper areas, ‘benda’ will come out.

‘Gargoyle.’

After passing through a narrow alley, he arrived at a round room.

There was no longer any road in that vast room.

In the middle is a statue.

In his previous life, when he first saw the gargoyle statue, he was terrified.

He thought it was just a statue.

‘Who thought there was a gargoyle under the ivory tower?’

Moreover, he was able to recognize one important truth.

No witch can tame a gargoyle.

Which means the underground is not made by ivory towers.

‘From wine storage to this gargoyle.’

After the witches moved their towers, someone might come here and succeed.

Not only in his previous life, this time as well.

*crack! Grp…..*

The gargoyle statue began to move while removing the dust on it.

Its surface would soon break and reveal its horrifying appearance.

This time, he prepared.

*KAAAARRRRKK-!*

With its strange growth, a gray gargoyle leaped out.

It glanced at Ian as it dribbled towards him.

It seems that the gargoyle decided to eat it.

“His eyes are purple.”

His eyes shone like amethyst.

Ian heard that his eyes were an extremely rare alchemy ingredient.

With his appearance, Ian could admit that.

‘In my previous life, I could not see it clearly.’

In the past, he was terrified and used too much strength.

An unimaginable magic that he would not dare to use with his current body.

Of course he didn't have time to look at it in detail.

Not only did he destroy it, he turned it into dust.

“Ledio will love it.”

Fortunately, Ian also had his alchemist this time around.

He probably made a good potion for her.

“Air ball.”

A basic magic like a fireball.

Several aqua balls were revealed around him.

It's useless against gargoyles.

It was just a simple water ball, while his opponent had a skin as hard as a rock.

‘Strength is not always the answer.’

He also did not drink half the potion.

So, he needed to increase the efficiency of his spell.

“Air ball.”

Many water balls destroy gargoyles.

Of course it did not receive any damage from him.

Gargoyles just got wet from it.

“Aqua...”

“Kaaaaarkk!”

It rushed towards Ian while shouting.

It seems like Ian's water ball is making him angry.

Ian kept shooting water balls.

Aqua balls are replenished non-stop.

“Karr, Karrr...!”

Ian dodged his attack like a snake.

Now the gargoyle began to spread its wings.

That looks crazy now.

“I won't be able to avoid it.”

There is a clear limit of magically enhanced bodies.

It was not impossible to dodge a gargoyle attack with its wings.

Gargoyle knew this too with his instincts.

Ian moved to plan two.

“Kaaaaaa-!”

She was crying with confidence.

The belief that the little boy would become his food with this attack.

It started attacking with its wings.

His speed increased dramatically.

And Ian, it's,

“Ice wall.”

A wall of ice suddenly erupted out of nowhere.

Thanks to the cold energy nearby, the casting spell speed was twice as fast.

Did he manage to protect her from gargoyle charges?

No, he didn't mean that.

He did not build a wall in front of him. Instead he made it under him.

*Destroy!*

His body shattered the ice wall.

it was strong enough for his upper body to pass through the ice wall.

In another point of view it is trapped in ice.

It won't be out for a while.

“Woah, I will die if I stand behind a wall.”

Ian gently jumped down from the top of the ice wall.

He could only see the gargoyle's butt.

Satisfied, he focused the mana in each of his hands.

*spark! Get up! Spaarr!*

lightning began to dance in each of his hands.

He's wetting the gargoyle for now, isn't he?

“lightning.”

A powerful stream of white lightning struck the gargoyle.

Actually, it hit the entire ice wall, including the gargoyle.

The soft inner skin of the Gargoyle is hidden under its hardened outer skin.

And there is nothing better than lightning to burn the inner skin.

“KAARRRRRAAAK!”

It screamed for a while.

When it stopped screaming, its corpse lay on the ground completely.

“Cutting.”

The burning smell filled the air.

It certainly doesn't smell good.

It made him feel nauseous.

“It should be open now.”

According to Ian's memories, a new passageway had to be revealed after killing the gargoyle.

More precisely, in the center where the gargoyle stood petrified earlier, a wide hole appeared below the base of the statue.

It should be the same this time.

*Gedebuck! Thump! Crprp…..*

As he expected.

A hole started to appear in the middle.

It's almost there.

It'll be under the hole.

But he needs to do something before he gets off.

“This is an important part.”

Holding his foot, Ian pulled the corpse of the gargoyle near the hole.

It was as heavy as its size.

Thanks to the help of mana, he was able to move his body.

“Ah, eyes first.”

It didn't seem like a pleasant process, but he had no choice. It is a valuable material.

Taking a breath, he let out his eyes.

They're as hard as amethyst.

“Hmm not bad.”

It was a much easier process because the texture was like stone.

If it's slippery, Ian will feel nauseous.

After that, Ian started moving the corpses.

Then he pushed her into the hole.

It fell for a long time because the hole was deep.

A few seconds later,

*BANG! A BAAANG! Baba!*

The sound of explosions was heard.

It was just the beginning.

Not only the explosion, many other sounds were heard.

Sound of lightning, freezing and so on.

Each sound reminded some great magic.

‘She set many traps with her stupid.’

It was the voice of ‘Mana Trap.’

In his previous life, Ian handled it himself.

There was no problem as he had used the greatest shield magic, but right now he would not be able to withstand it.

“It looks like it's over.”

The voices stopped.

There might be some traps that were still not activated, but he was able to overcome them.

Read the latest chapter in the novel Only

“Fur fall.”

Dragon chat books are near now.

And some items ‘Guna’.

They'll all stay under the hole.

Ian jumped into the hole with magic falling slowly.
