Man is infinite, and his ambition is to slay the dragon

However, he is not alone.

"Hmm~~~ I didn't expect there were ruins like this in the Kingdom of Fiore~~~"

Next to Sieg, Lucy, who also drank some wine but was still sober because she didn't drink too much, was walking with Sieg.

Seeing her body swaying, Sieg sighed slightly: "Actually, you don't have to come with me, Lucy, just lend me the key."

“No~~~~!”

Lucy swayed her body and leaned on Sieg's shoulder. Her cheeks were slightly red as she shook her bag full of Star Spirit Keys. "These keys are so important~~~I don't feel comfortable lending them all to you, Sieg! And~~~uh! As we agreed before~~~I'll go too!"

"Yes, yes... Alas, I shouldn't have reasoned with you if I had known."

Sieg bent down and put Lucy's arm on his shoulder, and put his other hand on her waist: "Let me help you walk, the door is not far ahead."

"Yes~~~Thanks for your hard work~~~Sieg, you are really a gentle person~~~"

"...This is really a huge misunderstanding."

Zig never thought he would hear such comments from other people.

gentle?

This was probably the word that had the least affinity with him. If he was really gentle, he would not have lured Lucy here just to use her power. Although she was drunk, in order to prevent her from becoming suspicious and realizing that he was still in the royal city, Sieg used space magic to take a long detour before bringing her here.

[This is an ancient magical relic in Fiore. Today is the best time to open the door, so I have to trouble you.]

Although it sounds like a statement with many loopholes, fortunately Lucy was drunk, and even if she was still sober, she was actually only sober to a limited extent, so she could be dealt with with a little trickery.

And soon, after pushing open the door to the basement where the Eclipse Door was stored again—

"Here we are."

Bringing Lucy to the Eclipse Gate, Sieg gently put her down and said, "This is the gate I was talking about - the Eclipse Gate."

"Eclipse Gate..."

Perhaps because she was shocked by the existence of the Eclipse Gate, the drunkenness in Lucy's eyes was slightly dispelled. She looked up at the huge door in front of her, and a look of awe appeared on her face involuntarily: "Sieg, is this what you want to open?"

"Well, I'll trouble you to use ten keys to open it. Although it should require twelve keys, I will use my magic to make up for the missing part... But before that, I need to activate this door first."

"activation?"

"Yes, according to my analysis, this door has actually been in a dormant state. It requires a large amount of magic power to activate it. It also has a strange property, which is that it will continuously absorb the magic power that appears near it."

Sieg said as he walked towards the Eclipse Gate.

The azure magic light suddenly lit up from his whole body, and at the moment the magic light lit up, as if attracted by something, Sieg suddenly felt that all the magic in his body rushed towards the direction of the Eclipse Gate. The gate was like an abyss vortex that would devour magic, and it devoured Sieg's magic at a crazy speed!

"Well----!"

The speed at which his magic power was draining away was beyond imagination, causing Sieg to groan and his knees suddenly sank.

Lucy couldn't help but take a step forward: "Zig, are you okay?"

"It's okay... I'm just a little scared by the speed of losing my magic power. I'll be fine after I get used to it."

Sieg turned and gave Lucy a reassuring smile.

But to be honest, the speed at which the Eclipse Gate devoured magic power was beyond Sieg's expectations. If any other wizard except Sieg came here, he would be sucked dry by the Eclipse Gate in just a moment, right?

Only Sieg, who possesses an extraordinary amount of magic power, can withstand being devoured by the Eclipse Gate.

But even so——

(Fifteen seconds is the limit... What kind of swallowing speed is this!)

Sieg had hardly ever encountered a situation where his magic power was completely exhausted, but he didn't expect to encounter one now... In addition to the novelty, Sieg was more worried.

The 400 years he was about to go to was an era when dragons were everywhere. If he used up all his magic power here, then when he returned to the past and was attacked by a dragon, wouldn't he be in great trouble?

(At least you have to retain enough magic power to fight the dragon - let's get started, Miss Brunhilde!)

【Obide】

Brunhilde's voice echoed in Sieg's mind.

And it was at this moment——

“Zheng————————!!!”

The shining azure light suddenly illuminated the entire dim space!

Magic power that was countless times stronger than before suddenly burst out from Sieg's body!

[The energy supply lines of the entire system of the Crimsheed have been connected to Lord Sieg himself, and the output power has been increased to 100% - please feel free to use the magic power stored in the entire Crimsheed, Lord Sieg]

[This link will be disconnected when the total ship mana is only 5%]

(enough!)

Bathed in the azure light, Sieg nodded vigorously.

His magic power alone is indeed not enough to feed the Eclipse Gate, but what if the entire Crinhild is added?

Ever since signing the contract with Sieg ten years ago, every time it arrives at a planet, the Krinshid will look for the place with the richest magic power and absorb magic power from the planet itself to replenish its own magic power storage. After all, magic power is the lifeline of the Krinshid, and all systems need the supply of magic power to function properly.

Up to now, the magic power absorbed from the planet itself, plus the magic power absorbed from the fourth true ancestors through the magic power absorption device, in terms of pure numbers, the Krenshid now has enough magic power for five million people!

(I don’t believe that so much magic power can’t satisfy a door like yours!)

As if the Eclipse Gate was not swallowing fast enough, Sieg increased his magic output to the maximum and actively fed it with his own magic power!

The azure light shines brightly and blooms like never before in the dim space!

77. Go back 400 years

Just as Sieg was charging the Eclipse Gate.

Inside the palace with colorful lights on the ground.

"Quick! Hurry! Everyone gather immediately! Prepare to head to the deepest part of the underground!"

Under the command of team leaders, a large number of royal city guards kept moving around, forming teams one after another, and poured into the underground from various passages.

——[Something big happened]!

Although not everyone understands the current situation, everyone can feel it now - this terrifying magic power released from the underground of the royal city!

After all, this magical power even made the entire Huadeng Palace tremble!

Except for the group of drunken wizards in the banquet hall, the entire Huadeng Palace has now fallen into unprecedented tension! Everyone's attention is focused on the magic power that is erupting underground!

And because of this, no one noticed that the royal city guards, which should have been numerous, were actually decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A pure white figure was like a breeze, strolling leisurely in the royal city, like a transparent man, walking towards one guard unit after another - and then knocking them all down with ease.

"Well, the east side is solved like this."

Glancing at the fallen guards behind him, Edwards sighed softly, "When I heard that Sieg needed my help, I thought he wanted me to deal with some powerful enemy that he couldn't spare any time to deal with. I didn't expect that he just wanted me to stop the guards from getting in his way..."

This is probably what the old Eastern saying means, "Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken?" After all, whether in terms of strength or compatibility, Edwards is a match for Acnologia. Now it is a bit of a waste of talent to use him to deal with some ordinary guards who don't know magic at all.

And it's not just her.

[This is Stella. All the guards in the north have been dealt with~~~ I'm so tired. When Sieg comes back, I must make it up to him! ]

Stella's voice came from the telepathic channel.

The royal city was not small, and it would take even Edwards a long time to subdue all the guards without causing too much noise. During this time, there might be a troop of guards to hinder Sieg.

So in addition to Edwards, Stella and Ning Yin were also shaken down by Sieg.

Edwards was in charge of the east, Stella was in charge of the north, and Ning Yin was in charge of the south and west alone - she had the easiest task, as she only needed to release a large-scale earthbinding formation to deal with all the guards.

[Oh my~~~ Then I have to make it up to him, little Stella, what do you think we should write on his legs next time? ]

[Hmm~~~ Let’s write less this time, how about two? 】

[You two! I told you to take care of Sieg's health! ]

Listening to the conversation between the two carnivores, Edwards couldn't help but give some advice.

And Ning Yin smiled.

[Oh~~~ Don't worry, we know our limits. If you're jealous, we can give you a recording later. Or a photo? ]

[I don’t need it! ]

For once, Edwards lost his composure a little.

————————————————————

Lucy was completely sober.

Lucy was subjected to an extremely powerful magical impact at close range. Although Sieg deliberately avoided her so that she was not actually affected too much, this extremely shocking scene still made Lucy wake up completely!

Lucy couldn't help but stare in a trance as she looked at the azure light that seemed to take over her entire world.

"What a beautiful magic..."

Magic of different attributes will emit different radiances.

Although Lucy couldn't tell what kind of properties Sieg's magic had, she was sure of one thing: Sieg's magic was very pure! It was like a gem without any impurities, shining with pure and clear light!

(Is this... Sieg's magic?)

Lucy thought back to the magic Sieg had unleashed two and a half years ago on Tenrou Island.

At that time, Sieg's magic was full of aggression, and it was completely different from the magic now.

(So ​​he can release this kind of magic... That's right!)

Suddenly coming back to her senses from the shock, Lucy took out the Zodiac Key from her waist: "Sieg! When should I open the door!?"

"Now!"

Sieg, who was continuously outputting magic power, turned around and said, "I can feel that the speed at which this door absorbs my magic power has slowed down a lot. Perhaps it is almost full of magic power! You can start opening the door - throw all your ten keys into the Eclipse Gate, and leave the rest to me!"

"Eh? Throw? Throw!?"

Lucy glanced at the keys in her hand and said, "Well, you have to pick them up for me later! These keys are super precious!"

"I will definitely help you get it back! Don't worry!"

"well!"

Looking at the keys with some heartache, Lucy clenched them tightly and threw all ten keys towards the direction of the Eclipse Gate!

The azure magic that enveloped Sieg's entire body instantly split into ten tentacle-like magic, which caught all ten keys and quickly embedded them into the twelve holes on the surface of the Eclipse Gate!

Perhaps this Eclipse Gate was designed like this from the beginning? There are 12 holes distributed in a ring on the surface of the door, and the moment the ten keys were inserted -

“Zheng——————————!!!”

The entire Eclipse Gate suddenly burst into an incomparable shining light!

Sieg immediately felt that the Eclipse Gate seemed to be [loosening] a little, and the tightly closed door opened a little, but perhaps because there were only 10 keys, the Eclipse Gate was not fully opened.

Noticing this, Sieg once again increased the output power of his magic power to the maximum! Two violent streams of magic power were injected into the two empty holes!

(Open it for me, the door to 400 years ago - the door of time and space!)

“Ka-ka-ka-ka——————”

With the continuous infusion of magic power, the sound of the door being pushed slowly rang out.

The Eclipse Gate was pushed open at a speed visible to the naked eye, and as it was pushed open, a light that was even brighter than Sieg's magic light bloomed from the inside of the gate, and abnormal magical fluctuations also spread out.

Stretching out her hand to resist the strong wind caused by the opening of the Eclipse Gate, Lucy stared at the opened Eclipse Gate and Sieg standing in front of the Gate of Light.

And it was at this time——

"Thank you, Lucy."

Turning around, Sieg used his magic to take out ten keys, and threw them all back to Lucy, nodding and smiling at her: "Because of your help, I can open this door - someone will come to pick you up later, my companions should be rushing here."

"After that, please apologize to everyone on my behalf and tell them that I'm going to practice for a while 400 years ago."

"Eh? What?"

Lucy hurriedly caught her key and looked at Sieg who was already facing the Gate of Light in astonishment: "Going to practice 400 years ago?! Sieg, what on earth are you planning to do——"

Boom——————!
