陶醉的妻子

Erend was shocked to see the appearance of the new monster. He had three heads that looked like three serpents with sharp jagged teeth. The three heads bobbed with terrifying and disturbing movements.

Erend didn't know if they were in one consciousness or if each head had its consciousness. But that doesn't matter now.

What was important was that the three heads each had their eyes fixed on the Dragon-Erend with one desire. They only had one goal, to kill him.

Despite that, Dragon-Slime didn't seem bothered at all. He lunged at the three-headed monster and caught two of its three heads. Then bang the two heads together.

Dragon-Erend formed an expression that was closest to a grinning expression upon seeing what Dragon-Slime was doing.

When that grinning expression appeared on a Dragon's face, it resulted in a sinister expression that was terrifying because he had rows of sharp teeth appeared.

'That's the spirit, Slime!'

Dragon-Erend certainly couldn't stand still. He shot towards the Dark Mage.

Dragon-Erend saw that the Dark Mage looked like he was exhausted. His shoulders were drooping down and despite being smaller, Dragon-Erend could see that the Dark Mage was breathing rapidly with a movement of his shoulders.

'This is my chance!' Erend thought.

However, as soon as Dragon-Erend only need a little longer until he reached the Dark Mage's position, a cold torrent hit him.

Suddenly Dragon-Erend felt his wings freeze and could no longer move. As a result, Dragon-Erend fell down and toppled over.

'What the hell happened?!' Erend who didn't know what happened was confused.

When he looked up, Dragon-Erend saw that one of the three-headed monster heads was staring at him.

In its mouth were cold white steam and a few frost spots. While the other two heads were focused on fighting the Dragon-Slime.

Erend came to a conclusion. The monster just shot ice at him.

"GRRRR...." Dragon-Erend let out a growl. Then stood up and let out hot steam all over his body.

The hot steam instantly melted the ice that froze his wings and part of his back. But with that, Dragon-Erend's attention was distracted for a while.

He didn't notice that there was already a magic circle above his head.

Dragon-Erend looked up. Then watched as dozens of chains came out of the magic circle and circled his body.

'FUCK!'

The chains bound his hands, body, and feet. Then plunged to the ground to stop the Dragon-Erend's movement.

Dragon-Erend tried to break free from the shackles of those chains by using his strength. But the chains were too strong and Dragon-Erend couldn't break them easily.

The chains gave off a green and black glow. It made Dragon-Erend believe that the chains couldn't be destroyed by force alone.

"It's useless," the Dark Mage said. "You won't be able to break free from those chains!"

Dragon-Erend let out a growl that seemed to shake all the plants in the forest.

After that, the fire burning on his shoulders lit up even more. Hot air spreads around. Even the Dark Mage felt it.

So the Dark Mage immediately took action. He aimed his dagger and staff simultaneously at Dragon-Erend. The pages of his book also kept moving and stopped at a certain page.

The Dark Mage drew another magic circle which looked denser with more runes and symbols.

The magic circle popped out of the book and expanded to a diameter of five meters in front of the Dragon-Erend.

"I will take your soul!" the Dark Mage shouted.

Dragon-Erend also felt his energy decrease. Erend opened his Status Window in the MP section to check his MP state.

[ MP: 25/60 ]

'It is not looking good.'

Erend had to quickly think of a way to escape this situation. If he spouted fire now, would it be enough to destroy the magic circle?

In addition, the chains that wrapped around his body also continued to draw in his energy. If Erend used fire bursts and it didn't work, then he would just be wasting his MP.

The magic circle in front of Dragon-Eren started to show a reaction. The green and black glow are starting to get brighter.

Then from the magic circle appeared a creature in a black robe. When he looked up, Erend could see the shape of a skull under the hood of the robe.

The creature filled the magic circle with a diameter of five meters. Then stretched out a pair of arms that consisted of only bones towards Dragon-Erend.

When Erend heard that the Dark Mage said that he would take his soul, Erend didn't think it would literally happen.

But seeing this terrifying form in front of him, Erend thought the Dark Mage would literally take his soul.

The Dark Mage grimaced indicating the difficulty he was in. The hand holding the staff and dagger shook. The aura surrounding the Dark Mage's body was also getting thinner.

The Dark Mage had used an enormous amount of energy to take out the monster. And now he took out a magic circle that had the power to seal souls.

The price he had to pay was quite large for that power. But now he had almost succeeded. In a little while, the Dark Mage will get Dragon-Erend's soul.

If he managed to seal his soul, it would mean that the Dragon's power would also be his.

The Dark Mage's lips formed a weak grin amidst his troubled expression. The price he had to pay was indeed huge, but what he would get from that price was also something great.

A soul of a Dragon. A legendary creature that had the power of a god would be in his grasp in a moment.

'SYUT!'

Suddenly an arrow shot toward him.

'CRAAT!'

The arrow pierced the Dark Mage's back.

'SYUT!'

'CRAAT!'

The second arrow stabbed into his back again.

The Dark Mage gritted his teeth and looked back. But he found no one.

He focused all his Dark Magic energy into the magic circle and ignored its defenses.

The Dark Mage didn't know that the other party was waiting for this opportunity to launch an attack.
