Return of The 8th Class Mage Chapter 186:

You arrogant… . . !)

It was the first time for sure .  That was, to have someone, a human being at that, to be talking such absurdity right in to his face .

“It would be helpful if you can see my point at once . ”

Upon hearing the response from ‘Herpai Dotos’, the red dragon, Ian sighed as he murmured, shaking his head .  Why was it that everyone was so eager to look down on humans whether one was a dragon or the gargoyles’ king?

“Did I expect too much?”

Ian raised one hand and then lowered it softly .  It was as if he was crushing a tiny ant .  Then the red dragon Herpai Dotos’ knees became buckled as if he was kneeling .  Furthermore, even his long neck and head plopped down, burying into the purple sandy ground .

(Krrrrh… . . ?!)

Herpai Dotos felt a rush of surprise by the unanticipated happening .  The present situation was hard to understand .  Why was he getting buried into the ground?  Who was doing this?  Was it that little human?  No, that couldn’t be .  That much was certain . ……

Kwoong!

However, his belief did not come to fruition .  Before that, he felt so much gravitational force from that little human’s hand gesture .

Considered to be the strongest embodiment of all life forms, which has even attained a certain experience level of the power of the language, the dragon could not even move a finger .

“Reeses Rajendu, your leader .  Call him . ”

(Do, do you think he will come to see you when you ask to see… . . )

“I have something to tell him about Fran Paige . ”

(… . . What?  Fran, Fran Paige?)

“He is also called the first sorcerer . ”

The dragon knew of Fran Paige as the first sorcerer .

The explanation with respect to the past was not necessary at all .

(You, you are… . . !)

“Not me . ”

(Such power is reserved only for our race and no other… . . !)

Kwoooong!

Herpai Dotos’ body was getting buried even deeper .  Going further deeper would be like being buried alive .

“That’s not it,”

The difference in power was clearly demonstrated .

When that difference was about to climax .

(Enough . )

A clear voice was coming from far away .  It was also a familiar voice .  It was the voice of ‘Reeses Rajendu’, the spiritual being of the leader of all dragons, who lived in the repository of time .

(Release that child . )

It wasn’t just Reeses Rajendu, but a countless number of dragons flew in from the empty sky as well .  It appeared that every member of the race, except those ones that maintained the purple seal that housed Fran, came forth .

‘Surely, it will be challenging for me, alone . ’

He felt a big threat .  However, it was different than from the past .  Ian did not feel the similar level of fear as when he had first faced the dragon, during which time he felt like his body was being paralyzed .

It was an effect of knowing that he has harnessed the powers that were similar to theirs, and that there was a sense of relief in knowing that he was a being of another self of himself .

(Fran Page, did you say you’ve come to talk about him?)

Reeses Rajendu’s low toned question .

Ian replied, gathering all his energy .

“It seemed that you’ve grown another horn .  Here, on the top of your nose?”

(… . . Do you know me?)

How could he not know?

He has seen him a number of times in the repository of time .

He had even rolled around in the name of some sort of a test or something .

“I’ve met your spiritual being before . ”

(That child, he must be quite lonely .  I thank you as he might have endured it all alone, for a long time . )

What was he thankful for .

Ian let it pass without much thought .

Then he continued to speak .

“At any rate, as I’ve said just now, I’ve come to visit you to talk about Fran Paige . ”

Reeses Rajendu fell into a deep thought upon hearing Ian .  Ian was definitely a dangerous being .  There were many risks in talking to such a being in a defenseless fashion .   Much judgment and consideration would be needed .

(Is talking all you want to do?)

“Today, yes . ”

(It means it could change . )

“I’ll decide after hearing you, first . ”

The dragons wriggled at Ian’s rather arrogant conversational tone .  Or it could be said that they were enraged .  However, the subject to which the arrogance was directed, Reeses Rajendu, did not even make a minute movement .  It just seemed that he fell into a deep thought .

(What kind of answer do you want from me?)

Reeses Rajendu said after a long consideration .

It was a question of what Ian wanted to ask .

“I’ll say it in simple terms . ”

Truly Ian spoke in a simple fashion .

He spoke immediately in a straightforward way .

“I think I am a descendant of Fran Paige .  Just recently, his spiritual being had approached me, and I was even taught the power of the language .  He said that by combining his power with mine, we ought to annihilate your kind . ”

Annihilate .

The ambience has changed with just that one word .

It was different than a simple rage or defiance .

It was enmity that rose from deep down .

A highly concentrated form of enmity was being displayed .

“I am not sure if you were aware, but I have been receiving direct and indirect threats from your race, all my life .  Maybe because of that, my mind tells me to destroy you all .  Not just you, but also Fran Paige, and that dangerous race as well .  That is my true feeling though . ”

There was even a murderous spirit in his response .

However, that murderous spirit has soon faded .

“Of course, it will be hard .  So, I’ve come to discuss it .  As to which drum beat, I should dance to, and how I should control the situation, so that I’ll avoid getting stabbed in the back .  I need to make an accurate assessment . ”

Using mana, Ian made a form of a ‘chair’ .  Then he sat on it, even crossing his legs .  At this moment, it was as if he had entered the creativity realm, rather than the realm of sorcery .

(First . )

It was Reeses Rajendu who was examining the actions and words of Ian .

He parted his huge lips .

(Our race has never placed any threats on your life .  Although I’m not sure as to what extent indirect threats would make up, at least I’m certain that we have never made direct threats on you .  It’s because we’ve just known about the existence of your being for the first time . )
