Return of The 8th Class Mage 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 **** 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 **** 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 **** 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 **** 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 .
