Episode 193
“So where is Jeongsoo?”
[You have to look for the details!]
“Are you sure you can’t find it?”
[No, it’s not like that…]
The way the guy trailed off seemed very suspicious. I tried to take it easy, but it’s trying to go somewhere else again.
I watched Yongyong wag his tail like a dog that wanted to poop and urged him.
“If you have something to say, say it right away.”
[okay. You know that Hyuna is thinking about recovering the essence, right? But my opinion is different.]
I don’t know what this is talking about. Didn’t Yongyong agree with Hyuna?
“How is it different?”
[Jesus can be born as a divine beast depending on conditions.]
“Really?”
[Well, there’s no way a human would know that.]
“Tell me in detail.”
The only thought I had was to retrieve the purified water, bring it to Hyuna, and find the hematoma, but I was caught off guard.
Wasn’t the essence of the Divine Beast a floating power without a physical body? But that power can grow into a divine beast.
Is it like buying eggs and hatching them into chicks?
[It’s not like that!]
“Or else.”
[anyway! Hyuna cuts like a knife in everything she does, but I’m different. The reason why Shinsu does not have a physical body is because of his own will, but there are also many cases where the surrounding conditions did not follow. If you create an opportunity, you can make different choices!]
“What is the reason you want to create a divine beast?”
[We have to keep the thunderbird in check.]
Yongyong’s voice was unusually firm. Although I heard from Hyuna that it was a thunder bird, I got the impression that it was different from other divine beasts.
[Hyuna and I are keeping Thunderbird in check, but the other gods are watching. We need allies to further destroy this balance.]
“Are you sure that the newly appeared divine beast will be on your side?”
[There is.]
Yongyong explained that confidence.
[As Hyuna and Thunderbird fought for dominance, Jeongsoo must have come into contact with Thunderbird’s will. [The greed he has is the opposite of Shinsoo.]
It was all made up of assumptions from beginning to end.
Then what if the new divine beast sympathizes with the Thunderbird?
[It won’t happen.]
“I know what you’re thinking, but I’ll dismiss this.”
[Ah, why!]
“I don’t know if I should have explained the details from the beginning, but did you think that if I hid my true feelings and explained it to you now, you would think I was right and accept it?”
And Hyuna’s side was much neater in terms of give and take. Rather than holding the hand of Yongyong, whose calculations are ambiguous, I think it would be neater to keep his promise to Hyuna and give what is given and receive what is due.
They say this is the benefit of self-employment, Yongyong.
[If I had told you, I would have told Hyuna right away.]
“Correct answer!”
[Look, look!]
“But that doesn’t work.”
What I hate the most is a guy who hides his true feelings and makes plans behind his back. Yongyong did exactly that. You’re guilty too.
[Tch!]
Clicking his tongue, Yongyong eventually failed to achieve his goal and took a step back.
“Is there anything else you’re hiding?”
[doesn’t exist! How on earth are you looking at me?]
“Because you’re such a sneaky guy, I guess you have other thoughts.”
It seems that Yongyong doesn’t know much about himself. Aside from his usual cool looks, is this really Shinsoo? No matter how I look at it, it looks like the lucky monster is pretending to be a divine beast.
[Tch.] Since
the guy who clicked his tongue didn’t say anything more, I stopped crying too.
“Let’s go find Jeongsu.”
[Okay.]
Yongyong said that instead of following the flow of power, there is essence at the center of the various streams. A dazzling movement that disturbed the senses was detected, but as Yongyong said, he proceeded towards the place where the essence was.
In the process, the necks of the monsters trying to access the essence were twisted one by one.
There isn’t much water left. Even if Yongyong’s advice was excluded, it seemed like the essence could be found by following the place crowded with monsters.
At that time, Yongyong’s startled cry was heard.
[Huh?]
“Why?”
[It’s a monster reaction.]
“There’s a monster here too.”
[He’s a much higher level guy than that! You guys are the ones who say you are at the plus level! How did you hide your presence this far? I was deceiving my senses!]
Yongyong said that the monster was approaching straight toward the place where the essence was.
That means the goal is the essence. Plus stage monsters take essence? Then it meant that it would evolve into a two-horned monster.
I wanted to face the two-horned monster, but I can’t allow it for my own enjoyment.
“I’ll go right away.”
[Yes!]
I headed straight towards where the essence was.
* * *
The Earth Dragon who climbed Mt. Halla moved carefully, hiding all traces of himself in order to avoid the eyes of the ‘Great Being’ spread throughout the mountain.
The sense of a great being was so great that even the Earth Dragon, who secretly developed his strength, found it difficult to avoid.
Fortunately, surveillance was not as tight as it covered the entire mountain. The Earth Dragon approached slowly, cautiously, so as not to be caught by the great being’s senses.
The destination is the power of a great being located at the top of the mountain.
If you take the power located there, you will gain a power that even great beings cannot use carelessly.
And once you get that power.
Crrrrr!
The Earth Dragon, which was crying lowly and radiating its will to kill, was reminded of the great being and lost its momentum. It wasn’t time to reveal the claws yet.
He was helpless as he left his dying wife and child behind. In my heart, I wanted to rush in and take revenge. However, the Earth Dragon, realizing its own lack of strength, endured it to the point where it even forgot the pain of its claws digging into its flesh and took a step back. Although I have no regrets about life, I will die after taking revenge on the enemy who killed my family.
The high point finally came into sight. If you can obtain the power of a great being, you will be able to equal your enemies, or even overcome them.
Faaah!
The Earth Dragon, which was approaching the essence, realized that the distance between itself and its enemy was considerable, and from then on, it began to advance towards the essence without hiding its presence.
The surrounding scenery began to change, accompanied by the sound of waves. No matter how fast the enemy is, he will not be able to get there faster than you.
Although the great being sensed him belatedly, he was the one who had already caught the player.
A distance gap that cannot be narrowed.
The Earth Dragon was 100% confident that he could take on the power of the great being.
The moment of revenge approaches. He will take that power, hide as if he were dead, make it his own, and then burn everything precious to the enemy just as the enemy took away everything precious to him.
A target came into view in the distance.
That light with infinite power will brightly brighten your future.
Finally, revenge for his wife and children…
But what reached the Earth Dragon was not essence, but a sharp force blade.
Quang! bang! Quagwagwagwang!
Sharp sounds that hit the leather. The Earth Dragon, who used the Force, received all of it with his body. If you step away from here, everything will be in vain. Although the leather was cracked and blood was splattering, we finally arrived at our destination.
Jeongsoo wasn’t there.
And then a voice came from behind.
“Are you looking for this?”
A little distance away, the enemy was holding a bottle of water and curling the corners of his mouth.
* * *
It was a narrow difference.
Yongyong’s surveillance network has been stretched to its loose limit and he is heading to where the essence is with all his might.
I almost gave up my essence to a strict guy.
Was there any monster with this level of intelligence? I think he’s smarter than Yongyong, the self-proclaimed divine beast.
[That’s a bit harsh. Thanks to me, it wasn’t taken away!]
Oh? Yongyong got it thanks to you, so calm down.
[You just need to know. From now on, make a strict distinction between public life and life!]
He seems like a disgusting guy. Yes, you are good.
After catching a glimpse of Yongyong, I shifted my gaze to the Earth Dragon, which was spilling out its merciless murderous spirit. Even thinking about it again, it was a moment when I almost drowned my nose in the finished rice.
“He’s a shrewd guy.”
He looked ignorant on the outside, but it wasn’t normal for him to have a dirty mind.
“huh?”
I think I’ve seen that somewhere before.
Now that I think about it, I remembered that the last time I went to Andong, I hunted an adult earth dragon and a baby. At the time, I thought there might have been one more family member, but it never showed up so I gave up. If it had been Jeong Da-hyun, I would have brought it all out, but it was a moment when I realized my shortcomings.
But coincidentally, the Earth Dragon appeared in front of me.
He looked at me and didn’t hide his intention to kill me.
“What are you doing to gain strength for revenge?”
I understand that monsters are not very intelligent. To gain strength to seek revenge, you come to me.
“amazing.”
Clap clap clap!
I applauded the Earth Dragon with all my heart. Yes, even mere monsters are so determined to get revenge, but there are too many of them without even knowing their subject.
Kyaaaaaaa!
What returned my praise was a roar. The Force was swirling like a storm around the deadly Earth Dragon.
This is not the runaway method that monsters often show. It was in a fairly refined form.
[What kind of monster is so good at using its power?]
Yongyong’s admiration was the same as mine.
If there are any sprouts, they must be removed at the right time. If you leave it alone, it will grow and come back like this.
I threw the essence of the divine beast at Yongyong, pledging to continue crushing every enemy I see.
[Wow! Why are you throwing away this precious thing?]
“Don’t do anything else and keep it safe. “If I think of something else, I’ll tell it to Hyuna right away.”
[Tsk, okay.]
Yongyong looked clearly dissatisfied, but that’s none of my business.
“Then, shall we clash with the avenging hero who has returned after going through trials?”
Wow!
The Earth Dragon kicked the ground and clawed with its front paws. A thick cloud of dust obscured my vision, and a bloody feeling of anticipation descended upon me.
Was this intentional? He uses a cruel yet clever technique on the subject of monsters.
A thin force film was used to prevent dust from blocking the view. Then, he bent down and narrowly avoided the feet sweeping upward, and then fired a mine.
puck!
With a dull sound, the mine rang loudly inside the Earth Dragon. Although it inflicted a slight blow, the plus stage monster did not even flinch.
I didn’t stop there and caught up with the Earth Dragon. The thing screamed and swung its front paws loudly. I was impressed by how cleverly they tried to disrupt my rhythm by including tricks.
If I keep it alive, it will be a pain in the ass forever, right?
Its front paw narrowly grazed my cheek. Even though the aftereffects only passed by, a fairly deep wound was created and blood was flowing out. It would have been more annoying if it had reached the fighting stage.
Still, because I took the risk, I was able to penetrate deep into the Earth Dragon and launch a proper attack.
Boom!
One of his legs broke and he lost his balance and collapsed. I tried to build momentum, but I couldn’t get any closer due to the poisonous gas breath coming out of its mouth.
Kyaaa!
The guy who was spewing murderous energy towards me forcibly supported his broken leg and stood up.
Quad deuk!
He was an incredibly tough guy. To force my bent legs back into alignment.
The only intention to kill me was conveyed to this point.
Is this the main character’s grit?
“Is this my role as a villain who torments the protagonist of a revenge plot?”
But you know what?
Justice wins in dramas and movies, but in reality, evil wins more.
* * *
There is no place where the whole body is intact.
As more blood flowed, the Earth Dragon felt his mind becoming blurred.
It wasn’t enough.
His own power, which did not gain the power of a great being, could not reach the enemy.
I wanted to somehow get rid of my enemy’s limbs, but I took advantage of myself and completely weakened him.
The thought that I couldn’t win dominated my mind. As my body did not follow my wishes, my movements naturally slowed down significantly.
Every time I touched the enemy’s hand, my skin burst and my bones broke, but I tried to hold on.
Just a little more and you will get there.
With that hope, he mustered all his strength and launched an attack.
Kyaaa!
But not a single attack reached the enemy.
thud!
In the end, I lost my balance and fell. At that time, a storm poured down from the fingertips of the enemy.
The leather cracked and blood splattered. Seeing the enemy approaching in front of him, the Earth Dragon threw himself down. If you can crush it with this massive body, you will be able to inflict damage.
Even that ended in failure as he stood aside like a ghost.
“It’s pretty good. “The grit is impressive.”
The enemy who arrived right in front said so. I didn’t like that space. The face of the wife and child who died in that guy’s hands came to mind.
The Earth Dragon drew out its last strength.
Crrrrr.
Although it wasn’t blown out properly, it was a poisonous gas breath. If it could even melt the monster’s skin, it would be able to deal a blow to that enemy.
However, as soon as the breath reached the enemy, it dissipated like smoke.
“If it weren’t for Mandokbulchim, it might have been quite a headache.”
Even the last move was a failure.
With all means blocked, the Earth Dragon’s will to fight disappeared.
“The original world had a bad ending.”
Quad deuk!
I’m sorry everyone…
The Earth Dragon’s head was bent 90 degrees, a light flickered in its eyes and it fell to the floor.
