Chapter 163
The king of the gargoyles shouted out loud .
It was more like a plea than a threat .
(Hmmm . )
Has it been persuasive .
‘The true dragon’ fell into a thought for a moment .
He turned towards Ian and approached him .
There wasn’t any sign of interest on his face, or in his eyes .
(Stay put . )
That one word was sufficient .
Ian could not do anything .
Far from able to run away, even breathing was challenging .
‘This is how…’
The large front paw of the dragon .
The claw at the end of the paw that was raised high came closer .
That is, closer to the tiny head of Ian .
Am I to be killed by that one claw?
Am I to go in such a vain way?
‘I can’t just die like this…’
With that, it tapped on Ian .
The bastards’ claw and Ian’s head .
That’s when the strange thing occurred .
“Uuuuhhh!”
The scenery has instantly changed .
There was no longer the purple sphere, nor the purple sand,
No purple lightning and no dragon either .
Only the dark and drab cave came into view .
He has been whipped out of the dimensionless space .
“Hugh! Hugh! Huuuugh… . . !”
Ian breathed roughly .
Of course, his suffocating condition was no longer there either .
However, there was one other real reason .
‘I’m still alive . ’
He felt life from the breathing .
He was still alive in one piece .
(Kkkrrrrrrkrrrrrrr… . . !)
But the confusion and anxiousness did not last long .
The entity that has been kicked out of the dimensionless space .
Ian wasn’t the only one, it seemed .
‘That bastard won’t be too difficult . ’
Ian hurriedly composed himself .
The entity that was kicked out at the same time was the king of the gargoyles .
He thought of it is as a blessing in disguise .
All that was needed was to defeat it one more time?
‘The healing is persistent in real life as well . ’
The bastard was in the same condition as he was in the dimensionless space .
His body and even the ripped wing have been fully recovered .
Only the eyeballs that have been ripped off in half were as they were before .
It’s not a problem . Ian still had the unlimited mana… . .
‘… . . ?’
As Ian was about to gather mana .
His face has stiffened up hard .

‘mana… . ’
It was same as if he was still in the dimensionless space .
Ian was still not able to use magic .
He could not feel it anywhere in his body .
‘What’s going on… . . ?’
Am I still suffering from the after-effects?
That’s how Ian wanted to take it .
But, if there was a problem .
(Krrrrrrkrrrrr… . . !)
It was that there was no time .
The king of the gargoyles began his assault again .
The bastard roared again like a wild beast .
“Kuuk!”
Ian, too, desperately threw himself .
But, it was no match with the physical strength alone .
He wasn’t sure how long he could stand it .
(Krrrkrr! Krrrrrrkkrr!)
It was different from being in the dimensionless space .
The king of the gargoyles could not speak .
Instead, the bastard walked around with grotesque laughter .
He seemed to be confident from the way he walked .
He was certain of his victory .
“Pugh…”
There was no more time .
He needed to rethink .

‘No magic for now . ’
Ian was perplexed more than anyone .
But, he had to stay calmer than anyone .
That is, if he wanted to survive through this .
Ian moved his hand towards his waist .
‘I didn’t expect to use it this way . ’
Concurrently, he opened the spatial pouch .
Schramm’s masterpiece has even captured the dwarf beam .
“It looks like… . . ”
(Krrrrrr… . ?)
“You did not get your power back that you had begged for . ”
The gargoyle had requested two things from the dragon . Either return his power, or kill Ian for him . However, the dragon did not grant either of the requests .
Only that he has weakened Ian .
“That’s a relief . ”
(Krrrrr… . ?)
“That you’re still a weakling . ”
Ian put his left hand into the spatial pouch . Then he took out something from it and threw it into the air with all his might . It wasn’t some object . Although it was small, it was clearly in the ‘form of a human’ .
Zzzzzzzzing-!
There came the ‘dwarf beam’ shining upon that small human form . Only that the beam was coming out of a crystal ball that was at the opposite direction . In other words, rather than having a ‘dwarfing’ effect, it was to give a ‘normalizing’ effect .
“Yeeeyap!”
The human returned to normal size .
He flew in a parabolic line .
At the same time, he was targeting the gargoyle’s body .
Then there came a sword that began to slice through the air .

(Krrr-aaaaaak-!)
The gargoyle screamed untimely .
Swaying and moving backwards, the gargoyle looked shocked .
What is this sudden bolt of lightning?
“The highness often said about the expression of being bored to death . I always thought of it as what a meaningless bull it was . ”
A dignified man’s voice was heard next .
There wasn’t any sign of shaking in the low tone of voice .
“I have to withdraw that thought, it seems . ”
The owner of that voice . He was much taller than the average human height, and had short brown hair with resolute eyes . Rather than the imperial palace knight’s demeanor, it seemed to be a man, in armor suit, just for the purpose of enhancing effectiveness .
“Boredom… . . ”
‘The secret weapon’ that Ian had hidden from all others .
That weapon was none other than the crowned prince’s body guard .
It was the best swordsman in the entire continent, Oliver Raywood .
“It could certainly kill a man . ”
Oliver confessed to the boredom that he felt while inside the pouch . He no longer used the extreme formalities while addressing Ian . It was the result of the new relationship that was forged from the conversation just two days ago . It appeared that their extreme master and subservient relationship has been somewhat modified .
“The finality of waiting . ”
He held a long heavy sword in his hand .
Oliver recited as he looked upon the sword .
It was the ‘master piece’ created by Halia, the blacksmith .
“I will recommend a name for the sword . ”
The best swordsman there ever was has met the best sword ever made .
The first flesh and blood to be torn and shed by that perfect combination .
“It is a grotesque monster, I see . ”
The ancient predator that ruled the world .
The king of the gargoyles was that flesh and blood .
