The Second Son of The Marquis Runs Away from Home ~ Lacking Talent, He Abandons Everything and Becomes an Adventurer ~ - 151

Chapter 151: Ancient Weapon

At the time when Berg and the others encountered Elford…

“Fifth, hand over that toy.”

“…Are you referring to that? I intended to allocate that for the adventurers who will come later.”

“Even if it’s to dispose of the one who sealed me?”

“…You mean, they’re still alive?”

“They managed to deceive us quite well, but it was a mistake to let them into the workshop. Or perhaps it was foreseen…”

“…I understand. Since I can’t move due to preparations for the ritual, I’ll leave it to you. However, shouldn’t you be able to dispose of them without using that?”

“I just want to talk to them for a bit. Make sure no one interferes…”

It happened simultaneously with the sensation running down his back that he woke up.

“Ugh!?”

“Huh!?”

“Uhn!?”

The room shook violently, and dust fell from the ceiling. Immediately, everyone rushed out of the room towards the lake, where Elford and Shurin were looking up.

“What’s happening?”

“…The workshop is under attack. The shock we felt earlier was caused by the barrier placed on the upper mountain being destroyed.”

“The barrier was destroyed!?”

If it was Elford’s barrier, it was no easy task to break. At the very least, whoever was attacking had something far surpassing advanced magic.

Following a deafening roar, a pillar of light pierced through the sky, creating a large hole through the rocky wall.

Upon seeing the scene from the hole, we were speechless. Trees and the ground seemed to have been pierced in a straight line.

And beyond that…

“A dragon?”

The silhouette appeared to be that of a long-necked dragon, but when illuminated by the sunlight, everyone gasped at its appearance.

The dragon was covered in what seemed like decaying armor. Instead of scales, the exposed parts of its body revealed a dense, dull gray color instead of blood-red.

The glimmer in what appeared to be its eyes emitted an inorganic light that didn’t resemble the light of life…

“That can’t be…”

Eilsied, seeing the dragon, staggered, showing a different kind of surprise from the rest of us.

“Do you know what it is?”

“…Before Shurin and I were sealed away, there was a war with many races. I only saw it once, but I can’t forget it.”

While keeping his sharp gaze on the dragon, Eilsied continued, “It’s a man-made dragon, a strategic-class weapon created during the war!”

“A man-made dragon… a strategic-class weapon!?”

As if in response to those words, the dragon, emitting creaking noises from its entire body, let out a roar…
