Episode 67: The Most Powerful Wise Man, Knowing the Reason for Decline

"Wow. This is horrible..."

If you look close, you can see very well the worn out addition and subtraction of the wings of Dark Dragon Illis.

"Yes, it is. I haven't been able to fly in 5,000 years..."

Five thousand years?

You've been so long since I was reincarnated.

"How do I get so worn out? I don't think this is going to happen unless you bundle a large magic fusion reactor without a safety device."

The wings of Illis, almost the whole thing, had been destroyed. Only part of the wingtip is safe.

Physical damage is still unknown. Using massive explosion-based magic and so on, it would also be possible to destroy all of the wings together.

But magical wounds don't.

Dragon wings are inherently magically extremely sturdy. Unless it is also physically disconnected, the magic circuit will not normally break.

I didn't know that would be a bummer so far......

"... maybe that's exactly what it looks like."

Did you do it with a bee?

"One of the nations of man built a magic fusion furnace about fifty times more than when Mr. Gaius was there..."

So, what, you let him go wild?

"Yes..."

In previous life, there had been several stupid experiments.

Some of them blew up one city.

Well, if you come up with some interesting magic, I know exactly how it feels, so let's just say that's about as good.

But if it's a magic fusion furnace without a safety device, it's not a story.

Just a little out of control, and there's going to be a magic disaster that's not comparable to those stupid experiments and all that.

"If it's an outburst of a magic fusion furnace, you don't even know the wound... Could that have caused the decline of civilization?

"Seems like all civilized nations are doomed after detonating into magic fusion reactors everywhere..."

It's supposed to be the future, but I was concerned about the cause of the decline of civilization so far, but apparently it's the self-destruction of the old civilization.

Instead, there were only humans left in this day and age, which is probably better yet.

"Can you cure these wings...?

I can't do this.

"But Mr. Gaius, can't you?!?

"Whatever I was in my previous life, I'm a fourth print now. The magic circuit cannot be completely repaired.... Well, you can manage enough to fly."

If it's a normal injury, I can handle it with healing magic, but the dragon wings are special.

I can't do this right now because I'm going to need the magic of the production system to fully repair the magic circuit, and I'm not skilled enough in Lurii.

"... and it's time to speak in human language? He doesn't seem to understand the situation."

That's how I look at Alma and Lurii.

I thought you said it was okay to be close now, but the two are as far apart as ever.

"... Speaking of which, you've been dragon language. Those two... Could they be Mr. Matthias' people?

"Talked!?

"Wow, we talked. Aah!

When Dark Dragon Iris suddenly started talking, Alma and Lurii, who were watching us on a far-flung roll, raised their surprises.

Watching as it goes, I'll put my hand on the wing of Illis.

"Well, that's pretty much it. In the meantime, let's connect the magic supply circuit for 'Dragon Breath' to the living circuit on the wing tip. That way we should be able to fly for now."

"Oh, please!

After accepting the approval of Illis, I pass magic through the wings of Illis, appropriately connecting the broken magic circuit to the tip of the wing.

I can't give you the original performance, but you'll figure it out enough to carry us.

"... Okay, now we're good. Fly a little."

"Yes!

That's what Dark Dragon Illis says, passing magic through his wings.

Then there was no sound, and the dragon giant floated into space.

"What do you say?

"I could fly! I don't think I can maneuver for combat..."

"Well, if that's all the wings are worn out, it's impossible to make fine adjustments. When we get better at granting Lurii, let's get him cured in earnest. Well, it's 20 years late."

"It's twenty years! I'm looking forward to it!

I haven't been able to fly for 5,000 years.

Where it's been added for another 20 years or so, it won't change much.

"Duh, the dragon is following you, Matty..."

"That's Matty..."

"... hey, both of you! Now that we've got the story together, we're going to take down the Demons for now!

"Yeah! I'm coming!

"Wow, I get it!

I speak again to the two of you who were still far away watching how things were going.

You must have seen Dark Dragon Illis speak human language and follow me and realized it was okay.

I can still see a little hesitation, but it was coming this way.

"... Huh? Are you going now? It will be soon after about twenty years, even after the eagle wings are fixed..."

"That's the feeling of a dragon! If you say twenty years in the human race, if you're bad, it's time for the king to replace you!

"Shh, excuse me! I get it! Get in!

That said, Illis goes down to the ground and lowers his posture to make it easier for us to climb.

After a little conversation, we got three of us on the back of Illis.

Now we're ready for the raid.

"But are you a human companion to Mr. Mathias...... Will it happen again with a natural mutation..."

... This guy, I figured I'd kill him.
