BXBX NOVEL Chapter 157 - The Great Mage Rafielt
PR: MattForgenti
When Kiari had heard that she had lost her liver, she couldn’t help but feel somewhat relieved.
‘......Perhaps this is for the best.’
Kiari could remember vividly the eyes of the Dragon King when he was told that he needed a rabbit’s liver. He looked like he had changed completely, the light in his eyes when he had looked at Kiari showed how greedy and he was for the rabbit’s liver. It seemed like he wouldn’t hesitate to kill her to get it on his hands.
She knew that even if it was Jevis, the outcome would still remain the same. However, Jevis did not have her rabbit’s liver with her right now. If she had kept it, she would definitely die. Kiari believed that it would be better for them to find a way to cure the Dragon King-nim.
“I need to have an audience with the Dragon King.”
“In that state?”
Jevis nodded her head. She had been away too long and the Dragon King might be furious with her disappearance.
“Let’s go together.”
Kiari held her hands as she smiled softly at her.
‘No matter how much the Dragon King has changed, I believe……’
She wholeheartedly believed that the Dragon King would pardon Jevis and her disappearance once he knew that Jevis risked her life and fought bravely against the Clam Golem to find a cure for him.
Kiari and Jevis both walked towards the place where the Dragon King was currently resting. Once they had arrived in front of the room, Kiari and Jevis took a deep breath as they looked at the large doors.
Just when Kiari was about to knock on the door.
Creaaaaaaak!
The door, accompanied by a loud and eerie sound, slowly opened by itself to reveal the figure of the Dragon King.
When Jevis saw the Dragon King’s face, she looked like she wanted to cry. However, she still bravely fought on and held it in.
‘H, his face……’
The Dragon King was skinnier compared to when she had last seen him. There was even a black light that was covering his face.
There was only one reason why the body that Great Mage Rafielt had taken over degraded faster than everybody else. It was because the Dragon King was still greatly resisting inside his body. He was so powerful that even the Great Mage Rafielt needed to use a lot of strength just to keep him at bay.
“I have seen the Dragon King.”
Kiari and Jevis bowed their heads in greeting. Kiari wanted to first speak about the rabbit’s liver disappearing but……
“Dragon King……”
At that moment, the Dragon King’s hand moved as a jet of water formed and aimed towards Jevis.
‘N, No……!’
Kiari’s hands quickly moved as a water barrier formed in front of Jevis, immediately blocking and protecting Jevis’ body. However, the jet of water that the Dragon King had shot out was filled with a tremendous power.
Bang!
The barrier that Kiari created was no match for such a powerful attack. In just a blink of an eye, the barrier cracked and the jet of water slammed on Jevis’ back.
“Keoheok…...!”
Jevis shrieked in pain.
“Je, Jevis……!”
Kiari quickly approached her.
“Get out of the way, Kiari.”
“D, Dragon King-nim…… W, what’s…… what’s the matter with you?!”
“......Didn’t you hear before? Only Jevis’ rabbit’s liver can save me. It might also be the answer to me going back to what I used to be.”
The Great Mage Rafielt was unaware of what had happened. Right now, he was still left in the dark. He was entirely unaware of the fact that Jevis had already lost her rabbit’s liver. When he saw Jevis coming inside the room, the only thought that passed through his mind was to remove the rabbit’s liver from her body.
Kiari’s body trembled.
“Je, Jevis doesn’t have a rabbit’s liver anymore. That’s why, please……!”
“The rabbit’s liver is gone?”
The Dragon King slowly raised his 2m 50cm tall body as he rubbed his chin in confusion. Kiari took that time to hastily explain the events that had transpired.
“For the Dragon King, Jevis……! Jevis fought hard against the predator!”
Kiari shouted lowly. Her voice sounded like it was a plea. A plea for the Dragon King to please spare Jevis as well as a plea for the Dragon King to return back to normal.
However, the Dragon King only smiled coldly at the two of them.
“Jevis, Kiari. Stop spouting lies.”
“What do you mean that we’re lying? She laid her life and braved the dangers for Dragon King-nim……”
“Kiari. It’s alright. I’m fine.”
Jevis, who was still bleeding through her back, felt the danger.
“I’m really fine……”
At this moment, she was still smiling softly even though she was treated cruelly by the Dragon King. Kiari looked at her with clenched fists. She felt frustrated with how helpless they were in this situation.
At that moment…
Shwaaaa━
Shwaaaa━
Shwaaaa━
Small vortexes of water appeared beside the Dragon King. The vortexes of water slowly combined until it formed into a large spear. The large water spear was spinning strongly and ferociously.
“Get out of the way. Kiari.”
Along with his words, the large water spear rushed towards Jevis.
Shwaaaaaaak!
Kiari indecisively looked at the Dragon King and Jevis. She couldn’t decide on what to do. Should she heed the words of the Dragon King or would she ignore it and save her youngest sibling?
I hate it. Even if it was the Dragon King who told me so, I still hate it. It can’t be a choice between him and Jevis.
“I hate it……!”
Puwaaa!
A jet of water suddenly bursted out in front of Kiari. As soon as Kiari grabbed that jet of water, it immediately solidified into a sword. It was the sword of the Guardian of the Sea. It was an item that was legendary, no, perhaps it was something that was even greater than that. This sword was the strongest sword in the entirety of the Dragon King’s Sea.
Shwaaa!
A sturdier and larger barrier stood in front of them when Kiari swung her sword strongly.
Not long after, the spear collided with the barrier. The area shook strongly as sparks appeared from the collision.
Bang!
“Kiari! How dare you defy my orders!”
“You cannot harm…… Jevis!”
Kiari grabbed her sword as she looked at the Dragon King fiercely. However, she did not make a move to attack. The sword of the Guardian of the Sea was a sword that was made to protect the Dragon King. It could never be used to attack him. And…… no matter how dire the situation was, Kiari couldn’t bear to lay her hands and attack the Dragon King.
‘How can I dare lay my hands on the Dragon King……’
The furious Dragon King slowly trudged down one step at a time.
“Don’t you remember?! Jevis is the one who cared and followed your orders the most……!”
“Do you not realize that I have to quickly recover my health to regain peace inside the Dragon King’s Palace, Kiari? Peace will only come at the sacrifice of one.”
“That’s impossible! Dragon King-nim, you have cha…… Keop!”
The Dragon King, who was now standing before Kiari, grabbed her by the neck.
‘These girls are so easy to deal with.’
Great Mage Rafielt chuckled to himself. Although they had defended his attacks, they couldn’t bear to launch an attack against the body that he currently had.
“Keok, Dragon King-nim! Please wake up! The peace in the Dragon King’s Palace does not require Jevis’ death……”
“No. What I’m trying to take is yours and Jevis’ lives.”
Rafielt had thought that it was high time that he killed Kiari. It was just good timing that the two of them delivered themselves to him. As soon as he decided, his hands started to tighten.
Then…
Twitch!
An extreme dizziness suddenly hit his body.
‘Keuk…… I’ve been in this body for too long……!’
Kiari saw something when the Dragon King staggered back.
‘Just now…… what was that?!’
She was the person nearest to the Dragon King so she saw it clearly. There was clearly an unidentifiable smoke that rose from the body of the Dragon King that was immediately swallowed back inside.
Rafielt believed that he did not have much time left.
Shwaaaaak!
A black sword immediately shot out from his hands as it aimed straight towards Kiari.
Puhaa!
“Keop!”
Kiari screamed in pain as the sword stabbed straight through her abdomen. As she was bowled over in pain, another sword flew, but this time it aimed right at her chest. Kiari quickly swung her sword.
Shwaa!
Her sword aimed straight at Rafielt’s neck.
Clang!
A black shield immediately popped out to block her attack and defended the side of Rafielt’s neck. However, even if he was attacked straight at his neck and was not in a good position, he was still able to launch a quick counter attack. Eventually, Rafielt waved her off and threw her far away.
Roll!
“Kyaaak!”
She quickly righted herself. Once she stood back up, she glared fiercely at Rafielt.
“I think I’ve been caught.”
“......Rafielt!”
The black shield that popped out to defend the vulnerable neck of the Dragon King was something that she had seen before. It was the shield that made the Dragon King struggle during his battle against Rafielt.
Rafielt, who realized that his identity had been exposed, let go of the mana that he desperately hid before.
Shwaaaaa!
The black mana burst out and swirled above them as Great Mage Rafielt slowly stretched his hand out and pointed at them.
“Die.”
Shwaaaaaaaak━
A sphere of black flame that was large enough to engulf Kiari’s whole body was formed from the black mana that erupted from Rafielt’s body. And its target? It was none other than Kiari. The powerful flames immediately headed straight towards Kiari.
Shwaaaaaa!
Kiari hastily stabbed the sword of the Guardian of the Sea on the ground.
Brr, brr, brr, brr!
The ground shook strongly as a powerful wave that was as high as 4 meters sprung up.
Baaaaaang!
A powerful shockwave resulted from the collision of the powerful flame and the high waves. For a moment, the two opposing powers seemed like they were in a deadlock. However, Kiari was sporting a severe injury on her abdomen.
“Keughhh!”
A gap suddenly appeared from the waves. The black flame immediately took advantage of the gap as it whizzed past through and engulfed Kiari’s body.
“Kyaaaaaaak!”
Kiari shrieked in pain as she collapsed on the floor.
Taking advantage of this moment, Great Mage Rafielt unleashed the power inside his body. Black smoke-like forces erupted from his body as it scattered and entered the bodies of the creatures all throughout the palace. The remaining souls that he had housed in his body immediately replaced the souls of the creatures through soul exchange. As a result, the palace was drowned in screams. The spirits had engulfed everyone in the palace.
‘I have to hurry.’
Great Mage Rafielt quickly approached Jevis to retrieve the rabbit’s liver. Jevis looked at him incredulously. It seemed like she couldn’t believe what was happening in front of her.
‘H, he’s not the Dragon King-nim…….’
Jevis felt her blood boil in anger. She fought against the predator for him, she did everything for him but it turned out that she was deceived.
Right at that moment…
Creaaaaaaak━
Baaaang!
The large door opened with a bang. An unknown man walked through the door with a baby pig on his shoulder. As soon as he saw the situation inside, he quickly threw his sword at Rafielt. Rafielt who felt the danger, quickly twisted his body to the side to evade. The sword flew past Rafielt and embedded itself on the wall.
Rafielt glared fiercely at the man who sent out a crude attack towards him.
“You bastard……”
Just as he was about to say something, he saw the man stretch his hand forward. However, nothing happened. No. It was just not happening in front of him.
Puhaaaa!
The sword that was clearly embedded on the wall suddenly whizzed past through him. Great Mage Rafielt trembled for a brief moment from the powerful shock that came with the tearing pain on his back.
“Keoheok……!”
It was just a light graze but he felt a tremendous amount of power from that unintentional blow.
Fwiiiiiiiish!
He could feel the area burning as smoke rose from the injury inflicted by the sword. At that moment, Great Mage Rafielt knew…
‘T, this is the power of a strong holy power!’
Just as he thought of that, he saw the sword that swiftly passed through him lay snugly on the hands of the man.
The young man who barged inside the room was none other than Minhyuk. And the skill that he used earlier was a skill that was attached to Ellie’s Sword.
Retrieval.
***
Real name, Somin, Nickname, Joo-ah. She was currently working as a Ztuber. Right now, she was anxiously waiting for someone in Barett Kingdom.
She was the Ztuber who recently posted a video of Rovan and the Frying Pan Killer. In fact, there was no user in the world who did not want to be famous. And at that time, Joo-ah also couldn’t hide her excitement. The battle between the two of them was so exciting that even the viewers couldn’t help but react ecstatically.
She had gained a huge amount of profit once the broadcast ended. She had wanted to give a percentage of her profits to the Frying Pan Killer but she couldn’t find him no matter what. So without any more choices, she posted in the bulletin.
I’ll give you money, contact me.
But she felt that it was definitely wrong. She didn’t even ask for their consent before starting the broadcast and now she wanted them to accept the money after she had finished the broadcast.
‘I should have asked for their consent first before I recorded it……’
She bit her lips tightly as she reflected on herself.
After quite some time, a complaint was filed against her in violation of the portrait rights.
‘What do you want?’
The Frying Pan Killer’s lawyer snorted at her when she stated that she would give all of the profits and that she would pay the compensation for violating his rights.
Joo-ah wanted to plead her situation. She somehow managed to ask for them to meet with her. Right now, she was going to meet with one of the close aides of the Frying Pan Killer.
She saw a man coming inside of the restaurant where she was waiting anxiously.
“Hello.”
Joo-ah bowed her head at him.
The man, General, bowed his head in greeting as he sat down in front of her.
“I’m sorry! I’m really sorry!”
Joo-ah kept on bowing her head as she admitted her mistakes. At that moment, General interrupted her with his words.
“You should apologize to him, not me. Do you know how much trouble he was experiencing because of you, Joo-ah-ssi?”
“I’m sorry……”
She couldn’t even raise her head in shame. In the whole world, she was probably the only person who had encountered a person who did not want to be famous.
Then she said…
“I’m really sorry. I feel so remorseful and I have been deeply reflecting on myself. I have uploaded the video of the Frying Pan Killer in my admiration for him…… And…… I also want to apologize again for calling myself a fan.”
“As expected, that punk really can see through you.”
General grinned. He and Minhyuk had talked about the person who had shared the story. He also said to say this if the person who shared the story said something similar……
“My friend told me to say this to you if you said something similar.”
“Yes. What……?”
General cleared his throat as he tried to mimic Minhyuk’s voice and expression to the best of his ability.
“Who said that if you’re a fan that you can easily do something like this?”
“......”
Joo-ah’s face flushed red in shame. She couldn’t help but keep her head down.
