The Illegitimate Who Devours Weapons

Weapon-Eating Illegitimate Son

Episode 17

Boom! Crack!

The ground shook with a heavy rumble, and the trees around it snapped with a harsh sound.

Its head and body resembled a turtle, its four legs were large and thick like those of an elephant, and on its back were growing moss, weeds, and a huge zelkova tree.

A monster glaring at me with red-tinted eyes.

‘The land of Jeokcheongdo, Gwisusan.’

A distant descendant of an ancient monster that was said to have been slain by the first lord long ago.

A third-class, nightmare-level monster.

‘… … You tamed Gwisu Mountain?’

It’s a tier 3 monster. Even though it’s not an adult, a tier 3 monster has the power to easily burn down a large city.

Besides, Gwisusan was a being close to being a half-spirit. It was not a monster that could be trained by a sorcerer like Naburang.

“You’re quite quick-witted.”

The trainer frowned as if he saw the puzzlement in my eyes.

“Although my training is not perfect yet, I will faithfully carry out the one order to kill you. Consider it your fate and accept it… … .”

Knock!

Before the trainer could finish speaking, he kicked the ground at the trainer.

There was no need to fight Gwisusan. If we just dealt with the trainer, the spell would definitely be lifted.

But the tip of my sword stopped right in front of the trainer’s nose.

“Huh!”

Kuuung-!

A huge pressure pressed down on me. I tried to hold on, but my knees gave out and I fell to the ground.

-Booooooow!

It was the magical power of Gwisu Mountain.

The pressure was so overwhelming that it could make people faint just by emitting magic power.

“Oh, that’s surprising. I didn’t know you’d come after me at that moment.”

The trainer wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked at the floor.

Just one step.

If the child had taken just one more step, he would have cut himself with that sword.

“Don’t struggle so much, just accept it quietly, boy.”

The trainer said so and scattered the talisman into the air. The trainer’s body disappeared as if it was dispersing into the air.

‘… … If only I had grown just a little more, I could have reached it.’

I gritted my teeth and stared straight ahead.

Desperate size, overwhelming power.

The ghost mountain started to move.

-Krrrrr… … .

My heart is pounding like crazy.

It was as if death had materialized and appeared before us.

My breathing became ragged due to the adrenaline rushing out of me, and it was difficult to move due to the magical power pouring down from above.

‘Calm down, calm down.’

I took a deep breath, enduring the crushing pressure.

‘There’s no way you can completely control Gwisusan. Then there’s no reason to run away. In fact, I said it’s not perfect.’

The decision was made in a split second.

I put my hand into my bosom, trying hard to resist the crushing pressure.

It was a large clump of tree leaves. When all the leaves were removed, a dark green pill appeared.

The moment I saw the elixir, I hesitated for a moment.

‘I have to do it. Now is not the time to worry about the aftereffects.’

I poured the pill straight into my mouth.

The pill, which was not properly clumped together due to a lack of equipment, crumbled and went down the esophagus as soon as it was put into the mouth.

Hot-

My whole body felt hot.

Magical power began to leak out from the elixir and permeate my entire body.

A potion that will be called a mana booster in the future.

A drug that was banned because it was easy to make and the ingredients were easy to obtain, but the aftereffects were too great compared to the amount of magic power it could produce.

I made just one just in case, but I ended up using it.

Kuung-!

At that moment, Gwisusan took a step towards me.

“Phew… … .”

I slowly stood up from my seat.

The pressure of magical power that seemed irresistible felt a little looser.

There is no way that this amount of increase in magical power could resist the pressure of Gwisu Mountain.

Guisusan may be weaker than I expected.

But this wasn’t enough.

One more thing, I pulled out one more trump card that I had left.

* * *

As I roughly ripped off the brooch and bracelet on my front apron, I recalled what my aunt had hesitantly said just before the naming ceremony.

“Baby. Make a promise to me. If you ever get the chance to use this magic during this exam, you’ll only think about three things. The first is… .”

‘Did you achieve 2 stars perfectly?’

Yes, that’s right.

The horsepower is sufficient, and the method of operation is also mastered.

And the second one.

‘Is it a threat equivalent to amputation of limbs or death if not used?’

There is a level 3 monster spewing hostility at me.

There has never been a greater threat to life.

“At your current level, using reverse magic is extremely dangerous, as the power you gain is so great. Use it at the very last moment. The use of magic power is like this… … .”

The flow of magic power began to reverse.

The energy that should have been flowing out from the magic source to the magic paths began to quickly return from all the magic paths in the body to the magic source.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The magical power trapped in the magic circles collides with each other and begins to vibrate.

The vibrations create force, and the increased force then rubs against each other to create even greater force, and so on.

‘Snap!’

Because I consumed the mana booster and forcibly confined all my magic power inside the magic source, cracks began to appear in the magic source.

I gritted my teeth against the pain that felt like a knife was piercing my heart.

It’s still not enough.

simplicity and honesty!

yet again.

When a noise like a crack was heard in the magic source.

I opened the magic source.

Boom!

A flood of magical power swept through my entire body like a riverbank collapsing.

The mana road and the mana source screamed, and in proportion to the immense pain, an unprecedented strength was generated throughout their bodies.

“Put the pressure down!”

In an instant, he shook off the pressure of his magic and ran towards Gwisusan.

I felt as if the scenery surrounding me was being pushed back like a panorama at such a tremendous speed.

-Booooooow!

Wow!

It was a noise like glass breaking.

The iron sword was thrown away a long time ago.

The sword in his hand was swung with a lot of magical power, but there was not even a scratch on Gwisusan’s skin.

Foodduck-!

But the giant shook just a little bit.

‘This isn’t enough!’

He poured all of his amplified magical power into Mujin.

The typified magic power was released and reached the end of the infinite.

The essence of power called sword energy or aura.

I glimpsed some of the higher realms that I still cannot reach.

Bam!

The pressure of the magical field that had been rising from the mountain of ghosts was relieved by the blow that was swung with all one’s might.

This is evidence that the strike was effective.

I held Mujin tighter.

‘I can’t use my power because of the trainer!’

Still, you can’t beat Gwisusan.

but.

‘My goal isn’t Gwisu Mountain anyway.’

My victory condition is to escape from the ghost mountain and capture the trainer.

A gap for that.

All you have to do is create an opening to escape from the ghost and chase after the trainer!

Boom!

While riding on the mount, he repeatedly evaded the attack to prevent it from being properly attacked.

With each successive blow, the magical field that had spread around Gwisu Mountain was becoming dull.

‘It’s possible!’

If Gwisusan had been in normal condition, this would have been absurd, but in this state, it seemed possible.

‘The last one! I’ll break it with this!’

I gathered all the magical power of my power and pushed it into Mujin.

But at that moment.

-Boooooooooooo!

The cries of Mt. Gwisu, filled with its magical power, spread across the ground.

Suddenly, all breathing stopped and the flow of magic was cut off.

Peer.

At the most crucial moment, all flow of magic was cut off.

Once again, the pressure of a massive magical field pressed down on my body.

-Booooow!

Gwisusan opened his mouth wide.

Breath, exclusive to the Dragon Clan.

I felt a tremendous amount of power that could not be compared to that of the lower-level dragon Draco.

‘Jegi… … Ral.’

My victory condition was to create a small gap in Gwisusan, leave my position, and deal with the trainer.

But even though I poured out all the cards I had, I couldn’t make a single opening.

Woof-!

At that moment, as if he had forgotten, a black energy rose up from near his heart.

“ah!”

Yeah, I had one more card left.

Black flag.

The black energy that rose like wildfire pushed away all the piercing particles that had dug into his body.

And in an instant, Gwisusan, with his eyes filled with darkness, suddenly stopped moving.

‘Now is the time!’

Thud!

Kicked the ground.

The gaping jaw of the Gwisu Mountain. I swung my sword with all my might towards the bottom.

Mujin eclipse, Chuckma.

The head of the mountain that had its chin struck was slightly turned toward the sky.

Kwaaaaaaaah!

The immense magical power cannon loaded into Gwisusan’s mouth was fired into the air.

A pillar of light was erected in the darkened sky of Jeokcheongdo.

The light drove away the darkness of Jeokcheongdo and even pushed away all the clouds in the sky.

‘it’s okay!’

He kicked the ground with all his might.

There was no sign of Gwisusan pursuing them.

Ugh!

But time is running out. The aftereffects of the Mana Booster and Reverse Magic are already starting to set in.

Cold sweat is running down my face.

The overheated magic furnace and magic source were cracking, and while his still immature body was constantly shedding cold sweat, the inside of his body began to feel as cold as ice.

’10 seconds to go!’

Ignoring the pain I felt all over my body, I spread my energy as widely as possible.

breaker.

There is only one goal.

‘8 seconds to go!’

There is. There definitely should have been.

Even if you run away, I can catch up with you. If not, Gwisusan will chase me again.

‘4 seconds!’

puck!

At that moment, I felt as if the inside of my eyeball was going to burst.

It wasn’t actually my eyeball that had burst. It was as if a nerve covering my eye had been punctured, and I was starting to see things I hadn’t seen before.

Line. It was one line.

A line appeared in the empty space, and the line led to Gwisu Mountain, which was starting to move behind me.

Crunch-!

He swung the Mujin in the form of a thin sword with the highest cutting power possible.

But the flow was cut off for a moment, and then, as if the water had been cut off, it continued towards Gwisu Mountain behind.

Ultimately, you need to find a trainer.

‘3 seconds!’

The place where the line stretched was a very narrow canyon. Deep inside the canyon, with steep cliffs on both sides, I found the sorcerer I had been searching for.

“What, what! How!”

Found it.

1 second left.

Swing your sword and aim for the trainer.

“Stop it!”

Monsters flew in front of the trainer.

‘Shit!’

Monsters didn’t pose much of a threat.

But the momentary gap created by those monsters was the problem.

All that remains is the last step.

I swung the sword with all my might.

But at that moment, I had a gut feeling.

Now 0 seconds.

lack.

Just one span. If you swing it like this, you will fail to subdue it by exactly one span.

I am so resentful of my body that has not yet grown. Once again, it was the same difference as before, one step, one breath.

simplicity and honesty-!

Paralysis was coming from the extremities of my limbs. My magical power and muscles, which had been used to their limits, were crying out in pain.

‘No, it’s not over yet!’

He pushed all the fading flames of magical power into Mujin.

The length of the infinity increases.

Exactly one span in length.

“Ugh!”

Phew!

Blood soaked the ground.

I fell to the ground with the same force I had swung my sword.

“Coolook! Cough!”

The trainer coughed and trembled.

And then I felt the main stream that had been flowing out break.

‘Whether I find out information or not… I’ll take care of myself first. If I pass out like this, it’s really over.’

I forced myself to move my arm, which was throbbing as if a bone had been broken, and put it in my arms.

This is my aunt’s third condition.

-You must drink it after casting it. Otherwise, you might die.

Click!

Nectar, the wine of the gods.

I tilted my head back and shoved it down my throat.

‘You can’t pass out. You have to quickly subdue that guy completely before the monsters get close… … .’

I stood up, staggering.

At that moment, the world spun around. I felt the sky and the earth turn upside down, and I fell to the ground.
