Chapter 250: The Guardian at the End of the Tunnel
Although it was indeed outrageous for a cat to become a researcher, Kira felt that he could accept it. But a cat eating bones? It was unbelievable no matter how you thought about it, right?!
"Well... this should be the influence of the Dragon Slayer Crystal in the body, right?"
Silver was not on guard at all, and said to Kira generously, "When it was born, the magic power in its body was unstable, so we implanted the only remaining dragon-slaying magic crystal made from the heart of a bone dragon in its body to balance the magic power."
"Affected by this magic crystal, his diet has been enriched with bones of various magical beasts since then! Of course, his favorite is fish bones!"
Fish bones... Isn't that a fish bone? It's still a cat!
"The Dragon-Slaying Magic Crystal of the Bone Dragon, so it eats bones?"
Kira understood and pointed to the cemetery filled with bones on the screen. "No wonder there are so many bones there! Is this his bedroom or his dining table?"
Silver thought for a long time and replied, "Both!"
"A Transcendent has become a second-generation Dragon Slayer. This is really rare!"
This is just... so interesting!
Kira only knew before that some people were at the top of others from the moment they were born, but starting today, he knew that some cats were also at the top of others from the moment they were born.
"Can he unleash the full power of dragon-slaying magic? Does he have a secret technique? Will he get sick in transportation?"
Facing Kira's three questions in a row, Silver just chuckled and said, "It's hard to say! He has been living with us, so he has never met an opponent. We all treat him like a younger brother, so naturally we have never fought him seriously. But the only thing we can be sure of is that he has not had any symptoms of vehicle sickness for the time being."
It seems that they also know that if the dragon-slaying magic is used at a deep level, the vehicle will become dizzy.
"What about the rest of you?"
Kira asked casually, and Silver replied, "The others were all wiped out!"
"As expected, you are all second generation dragon slayers!"
Silver was stunned for a moment, but then he smiled and said nonchalantly: "You don't need to test me, you can just ask directly. This is not something shameful!"
"That's right, all of us have Dragon Slayer Crystals implanted in our bodies. We are all second-generation Dragon Slayers!"
He said it openly and without hiding anything, which surprised Kira: "This personality... If it weren't for the time when he was selling mechanical soldiers, I would have called him Little Sun!"
Kira didn't think much about it and continued to look at the crystal screen...
…
In Channel 1, An Ye, Sawyer and Kong Nao finally met the guardian here, Nicol.
"Not bad, you didn't get scared by the bones on the road. It seems you still have some courage!"
Nicol sat on a high platform made of bones, gnawing on the fish bones in his hand while striking a handsome pose and said proudly, "You are lucky to meet me, Totoro Nicol! As long as you beat me, you can move on!"
However, the three people on the opposite side did not hear its seemingly pretentious words, but were immersed in their own surprise.
"The cat spoke?!"
"Another talking cat? It looks like the same creature as the one from 'Fairy Tail', right?"
Nick was annoyed when he realized that no one saw what he did. He shouted, "Hey! You intruders! Can you please respect the cats?"
"You're so cute even when you're angry..."
"I've been in the wizarding world for so many years, and I've never seen such an arrogant cat!"
Nicole: “…”
"Okay, Kong Nai, Sawyer, stop playing!" An Ye stepped forward and asked, "Are you the guardian here?"
Nicol licked the fish bone, put it down reluctantly, folded his paws, and looked down: "That's right! You must be here for the Dragon Slayer Crystal to get the clues and find the people here!"
It has been here for 6 years and has never had any rivals. It is a rare opportunity, so of course it wants to compete with the magicians from the outside world: "As long as you defeat me, you can enter the real research institute!"
The three of them looked at each other in bewilderment. Since the other party had said so much, there was no reason for them not to fight. Although the other party was a cat, since he could become one of the guardians and "provoke" them like this, I think his strength must not be too bad.
Dark Night took a step forward and said, "In that case, let me be your opponent!"
…
The number of monster corpses around them gradually decreased, and Eric and Richard could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Although Silver quickly sent them to the end of the passage, they had been holding their breath for most of the time to prevent themselves from inhaling the gas that might be filled with germs, and were now sweating profusely.
This seemed to be a hollowed-out underground place, with sand under their feet, above their heads and all around them. Opposite them was a young man with cold eyes and pale skin.
The young man was dressed warmly, with a black windbreaker covering him from head to toe. With his black hair and black eyes, he looked exceptionally cold and handsome, just like Beelzebub the Valkyrie next door.
"I am the guardian of this passage, the Plague Dragon Slayer, Decizu. Only if you defeat me can you move on!"
The other party's words revealed a lot of information, which made Eric's heart jump: "Plague... No wonder I saw that kind of scene before."
Seeing the two people who were trapped before come out of the passage so quickly, Disizu knew that it must be Silver's doing!
"You are the Poison Dragon Slayer, right? Come to think of it, the magic crystal in your body was bought from here." Desizu suddenly said, "This is a rare opportunity, do you want to have a try?"
Although it was summer, Eric and Richard felt a little cold.
…
In Passage 2, behind the door at the end of the passage, there is no well-lit room, and it is still a world of ice and snow.
Urrutia looked at the masked woman with a great figure , and his heart was full of doubts: "Who are you? A researcher here?"
Hearing Urrutia's question, the woman opposite remained silent, slowly stretched out a hand, and took off the mask on her face. What surprised Urrutia was that the face under the mask was 70% similar to her!
"You... Could it be that..."
Similar faces, similar magic. The moment he saw the other's face, Urrutia was stunned.
Although Urrutia speculated that there was some kind of connection between herself and the user through the ice magic she saw along the way, she did not dare to believe it until the other party took off his mask, which confirmed her guess.
The woman opposite suddenly smiled, with the same expression as Urrutia, and with a teasing look in her eyes, she spoke softly to Urrutia, but her words were shocking: "I am you!"
Hearing this, Urrutia was stunned.
But the other party continued: "I am the guardian of this passage, the Ice Dragon Slayer, Ultia!"
…
In passage 4, the moment Gerard pushed open the gate, the scene he saw was different from that of everyone else.
It is clearly noon now, but the surroundings have become dark, as if time has suddenly turned into night. The quiet night sky is peaceful and peaceful, with only the sky full of stars, shining brightly.
Gerard looked up and realized that the bright moon hanging high in front of him and the twinkling stars were actually magic crystals inlaid on the ceiling of the room. The night sky was an artificial illusion.
"Jellal?!"
A female voice sounded and Jellal immediately turned his head to look.
The room was very empty, with only a square arena in the middle. Standing on it was a brown-skinned woman with long light pink hair, wearing silver-white armor and carrying two swords on her back. She seemed to be the one who had just spoken.
Jellal's eyes shone: "As expected, he was discovered!"
"You broke into the castle without permission. You didn't think you could just come in and leave safely, did you?"
"It seems that the other groups have also encountered their opponents..."
Jellal pondered in his heart, and then tried to use words to test the situation here: "If I remember correctly, this should be the research institute of the Dragon Slayer Crystal. Are you the guardian here? Or a researcher?"
"I am both a guardian and a researcher!" The woman drew out the two swords on her back and replied, "Star Dragon Slayer, Macara! If you can defeat me, I will tell you what you want to know!"
Many times, taking action is far more effective than talking.
Seeing the other party's eagerness to fight, Gerard sighed and walked onto the stage: "It seems that this is the only way!"
