Chapter 384: Reincarnated as a Genius of the Most Talented Family
279. What could it be?
There are many ways to get people to do something.
persuasion.
Recommendation.
command.
Threats, etc.
While these common ones exist, there are also malicious ones.
There are people armed with blind faith and purpose, just like the fanatics I have encountered in my past life and in this life.
They are usually brainwashed.
Slowly, gradually, it eats away at your mind and you end up believing it without even realizing it.
But this is more vicious.
Rather, if there is a chance that brainwashing will break your faith, you can somehow gradually escape from it.
“It’s so annoying. Just like you said, Dane.”
Althur also agreed.
Thought.
Using the power of the dragon, it makes you worship and protect this power the moment you encounter it.
It’s virtually the same as turning them into slaves.
Because it takes away your free will in an instant and leaves no room for you to go against it.
“Arygma.”
I opened the subspace again, recalling the name, and took out and opened the book I remembered.
Arygma.
A dragon that has lived for at least 5,000 years.
I suddenly remembered that dragons that live long lives have a hobby called ‘role-playing’.
It’s literally just for fun.
A game where you implant a part of your soul into a living creature, then exorcise that creature’s original soul and act as if you were that creature.
Although not all of the dragon’s powers can be used, some of them are so powerful that they have left their mark on history.
“Maybe Arcana too… … .”
“What are you talking about?”
“No. Nothing.”
Let’s just focus on this for now.
Yeah, dragons have that hobby.
So, I can’t guarantee that this kind of ‘prank’ won’t happen.
It’s a bit too much for a joke.
Thanks to that, as many as 30 people suffered for a long time without even knowing what was going on.
I don’t know who came here first.
Of course, ‘why’ is not important now.
If humans can do worse things than this, what can’t a dragon do?
What’s important now is the situation itself.
“It’s an idea.”
[It is certain, Dane Sogress. Analysis indicates that the probability of this being magical power of ideological nature is close to 100%.]
“How to solve it?”
[There is no other way than to nullify the magic power itself or to forcibly destroy it. The latter would be a bit easier. But they might all die.]
It’s just like the mini golem said.
If you touch that wrong, not only this area, but the entire mountain will be blown away.
And it is unknown what the outcome of that storm of power will be.
Well, if that happens, I will be erased from the world, so I don’t have to worry about that?
anyway-
“Then I guess I’ll have to invalidate it.”
[This is the wisest way.]
The conclusion has been reached.
And there is not just one conclusion.
“Or maybe we can try to figure it out better and come to a better conclusion.”
[If there is a better conclusion… … .]
Karnas answered instead.
“Kkuruk!”
[no way?]
Yeah, that’s true.
Karnas seems very familiar with that magic right now.
So there is nothing that Karnas can’t have.
“Oh, no!”
And that guy Dmitry is okay.
After your mind clears, you will come to your senses.
Of course, it’s hard to imagine what kind of despair he’ll feel when he comes to his senses again, and what he might do because of it…
It would be wrong to leave this alone just for that reason.
Either/or.
It’s a problem that always comes up, but the conclusion is always the same.
Thinking for me.
For ‘us’, to be precise.
“Is there anything I can help you with?”
Althur asked me quickly.
The guy looks strangely excited.
Well, that’s true.
From the wizard’s perspective, he is facing this tremendous magical power right before his eyes.
“It’s a bit of a shame, but… … . It’s true that it needs to be removed. Or at least calmed down in some way.”
Althur created a fireball in the air.
A magical power much denser than what Althur usually creates.
For a wizard, this place would be like heaven.
The problem is that it’s a lonely and solitary paradise where you can’t go outside and there’s no one there but you.
“But is calming down the right solution?”
I expressed my doubts.
Calming it down like this is the second best option.
Because you never know when, how, or who might seek power.
And there’s nothing we can do about cracks that have already formed.
[Dane Sogress, how about just removing the thoughts?]
It was a question from the mini golem.
“What next?”
[This power will remain as it is. And since the idea has disappeared, the mission to stay in this area will also disappear. The idea that is mistaken for a mission.]
I looked at Dmitry blankly.
After the thought disappears, will the guy stay here or leave?
Even if I go out, most of the people I knew would have passed away, and since I’m rich, there wouldn’t be anywhere that would accept me.
Also, since you’ve become stronger with the power the dragon left behind, there’s no telling how low you’ll fall if you go outside.
[Of course, there is no need to worry about the author. If left as is, it is not the Empire that is the problem, but a force that poses a great threat to the people.]
After thinking about it for a while, I made up my mind.
Let’s just pull out that power.
And let’s put it to sleep in some way.
Either break it, destroy it, or… … .
Eat it all up.
“I’m sorry.”
I looked at Dmitry and said.
It wasn’t my intention to ask for understanding.
However, it was a courtesy to someone who had to live ‘intoxicated’ by this power for a very long time.
“Please… … leave me alone… … without that power… … I have no reason to live… … .”
I have no intention of judging or evaluating other people’s lives.
Therefore, Dmitry’s circumstances are not a matter of consideration in the current situation.
“Dane.”
“Hold on tight, kid. I won’t be able to do that once I start concentrating.”
“I?”
“Use this.”
The thing given to Althur was a magical restraint invented by his older sister.
Since it’s an item imbued with my magic stone, it should be effective against Lich as well.
Of course, it is a prototype that is so powerful that it will never be released in the future.
Crunch.
I stepped forward to confirm that the restraints were working.
Something that must be an idea seeps out of the glass case and stabs my chest.
A strong will to not be possessed if it were a past life.
Today I learned for the first time that will can be felt in magic.
“Is this what a dragon is like?”
The more you learn about it, the more fascinating it becomes.
I haven’t seen any of them yet, except for this one that just popped its head out of my arms.
I’d like to call that Arigma a lizard, not a dragon.
It was at that moment, while looking at the glass case, that I finally drew out my magic power.
“Kkuruk!”
Karnas didn’t just stick his head out, he even got out of my arms and flapped his wings.
“what’s the matter?”
“Kkuruk!”
The guy flew nonchalantly towards the glass case, opening and closing his mouth repeatedly.
It seems like some kind of show… … .
“Karnas, is that what I think it is?”
I looked at the guy in bewilderment, but his answer was as expected.
“Kkuruk!”
“You want to take that? That?”
“Kki-kki!”
Karnas nods.
“You still don’t have any strength, and you still want to eat that? Why?”
“Kki-kki!”
If you ask why, all you get is the same crying sound.
So I changed the question.
“Do you think that would be good to eat?”
“Kkuruk!”
“Even though I don’t have any strength right now?”
“Kkuruk!”
her.
While clicking his tongue in disbelief, the mini golem suddenly said this.
[Maybe the mini dragon wants to win.]
The guy made an interesting point.
[The mini dragon had a hard time even before coming here. I think it was probably because it was pushed by the magic of its own kind, which was of a higher rank than its own.]
Then it seems like Karnas wants to take that power and make it his own, and then build up some pride… … .
“Do you think it’s possible?”
[In theory, yes. Mini dragons are mutants. As you know, dragon mutants are particularly powerful. The vessel itself is different.]
Then, the reason Karnas is having a hard time now is because he is struggling with the power of the dragon Arigma, who has lived for at least thousands of years and has not yet reached adulthood.
But now it seems like they plan to confront it head on.
I made up my mind and asked.
“Are you okay?”
“Kkuruk!”
Karnas is a dragon.
And he is my friend.
“Kki-kki!”
The guy shouted not to worry. In comparison, his wingbeats were duller than before, and his expression was listless… … .
Come on, let’s just try it once.
“Let’s do it together.”
“Kkuruk!”
Since it’s come to this, Karnas should try some special food too.
I put my magic power into Karnas’ body.
“You can’t be pushed, okay?”
“Kkuruk!”
After that, a magic barrier was created centered around the glass tube.
The power flowing out was so great that it took twice as long as before, but it wasn’t difficult.
But the problem starts now.
Now, the surrounding area is isolated, centered around this glass case, me, and Karnas.
As long as the barrier remains intact, everything will happen within this space.
In other words, this is-
Whatever it is, it means that we have to find a solution within this.
The results will also be faced here.
“good.”
As always, I don’t carry out plans I’m not sure about.
This time too.
“Let’s get started.”
“Kkuruk!”
In the midst of Karnas’ mighty shouts.
Clang!
I shattered the glass tube into pieces.
* * *
Pex’s captain of the guard, Lancel, was now looking out over Mount Ariella from the top of the watchtower.
“What on earth are you investigating?”
It was a questioning mumble, but it was a marked difference from the sarcasm of a few hours ago.
Dane Sogres and his party.
Many people’s lives were saved thanks to those guys who I thought were just reckless noble children.
A building under construction collapsed in a sandstorm, but it ended without a single serious injury.
Even the people who were injured only had a few scratches.
“What kind of guys are they?”
At this point, it seems a bit odd to dismiss it as just a noble hobby of reckless noble children.
Lancel muttered without taking his eyes off Mount Ariela.
“Since I’m already here, I hope I find out something.”
Honestly, I don’t have any expectations.
Up until now, many people have tried to find out about Mount Ariela, but no one has succeeded.
And now, a more important issue was looming before our eyes.
“Captain! A sandstorm is coming soon! Come down quickly!”
“Okay, I’m going down.”
It’s about time for a sandstorm to arrive.
If everything goes according to plan, there are 20 minutes left.
Soon, you’ll see a sandstorm blocking the sky in the distance…
“hmm?”
The sky was unusually blue.
There is no sign of a sandstorm, let alone one coming.
Lancel felt something strange and shouted down from the watchtower.
“How many minutes are left?”
“There are about 20 minutes left!”
“Is that accurate?”
“Yes! I told you to come down quickly!”
Lancel looked back towards Mount Ariela.
No matter how you look at it, the sky is blue.
Up until now, it has only gotten faster, it has never been slower.
“What the heck?”
Lancel looked bewildered by the sudden change.
But that was only for a moment.
‘What could it be?’
As he looked at Mount Ariela, Lancel’s heart began to beat with hope.
