86. reunion

flash

Eyes open.

“Ugh.”

Clap. There was the sound of firewood burning. When I turned my head, I saw that the yeti’s hide was sleeping inside the cave.

‘Could I have caught the yeti by myself?’

Maybe I was ignoring Sojeon too much. Wait, how long have I been down to catch a yeti and drift in a cave?

“Sojeon, Sojeon!”

“Um… .”

Sojeon rubbed his eyes and woke up, and when he saw me, his eyes became round.

“Are you awake!”

“What happened? How down have I been?”

“… I don’t have a pocket watch so I can’t tell exactly how long it’s been, but I know it’s over a week. Because the night and day have changed that much.”

this. Had it been like this for over a week? I feel sorry for Sojeon.

“Sorry Sojeon. Let’s go back right now.”

“Don’t overdo it! You just woke up… .”

Crunchy. Is it because the body wakes up after a long time? A loud sound came from the aching body.

“are you okay. Rather, I feel lighter.”

[Dragon Heart Absorption Rate 100%]

[Successfully absorbed Dragon Heart.]

[New Unique Skill – Yonginhwa.]

Completely absorbed the Dragon Heart. By the way, Yonginhwa? Are you saying I could be a dragon? But now is not the time to test this out.

“Hold my hand. Let’s go back right away.”

From noble mtl dot com

I grabbed Sojeon’s hand and drew a magic circle.

“Teleport.”

hmm? unresponsive? It can’t be.

“Teleport.”

No response this time. Could it be that… despite Prodiction’s death, the Dragon’s Word outside the cave continues? This is very difficult.

Wait a minute, if the dragon is continuing, I might be able to break it. I instinctively learned how to use verbs. It might be the effect of Dragon Heart.

“Break it.”

blah blah blah!

crackling sound. But no cracking was heard.

I pictured the image of breaking the dragon again, then opened my mouth again.

“Break!”

Damn it.

“this.”

It seems that the Dragon of Destruction’s words are unbelievably strong. It’s strange that I, who have just mastered the dragon language, break it easily.

‘How did I get out of here.’

Of course, going down this snowy mountain should be no problem.

but… .

We do not know how long it will take if we arrive at the dragon quickly and go down. In this place where Prodiction’s words remain, my words don’t work.

hmm,

I hope so.

“Sojeon. follow me I have something to test.”

“Where are you going… ?”

“I will get out of here.”

“… ?”

He stepped out of the cave without hesitation. Then, the fiercely piercing cold. It felt like my fingers and toes froze even when I was still.

‘In a place like this, Sojeon alone takes me… .’

I feel sorry for her. It wasn’t enough to bring her out of nowhere, it wasn’t enough to leave her alone in this harsh cold, and even to take care of her.

“Hound?”

I looked up at the sky without saying a word.

remember The image of Yonginhwa.

draw An image of a dragon.

“Yoninhwa.”

The trembling air began to wrap around my body. Then it seeped into my body. The eyes are red. Chew! Bat-like wings sprouted from its back, and it was a rumble. The shape of the hand changed to that of a dragon. Scales covered most of the skin.

“Hound-sama, what the hell… ?”

“It’s the effect of Dragon Heart. Come on, give it to me.”

“… yes?”

“Give me a hug.”

Sojourn’s face turned red. No, don’t take it in a strange way.

“then… .”

Sojeon hugged my chest and put his arms around my neck. I gave her a princess hug.

“It might be a little cold.”

“It’s warm thanks to Mr. Hound’s aura… .”

“… … .”

The real sojeon becomes a temptation even when it is still. Be careful, really.

flutter! flutter! The wings began to move with a blast of cold wind. I wonder if I can fly with wings because I can’t even use a fly, but wings move my body, so it was simpler than a fly. I didn’t even get motion sickness.

“let’s go.”

It was exhilarating to fly through the sky. The sunlight of this snowy mountain shined on us on the snowy field, and our shadows were formed on the snowy field. however,

“This, it’s like your breath is frozen.”

Even if the breath comes, it comes too much. Even with the aura around, it feels like the inside of my nose is frozen.

“Shall we use at least shield magic to maintain body temperature?”

“That would be nice. Sacred Shield.”

Chanang! A golden shield enveloped us. Then the resistance of the cold, penetrating wind disappeared and it became much warmer.

‘I should have used this method a long time ago.’

Same as last time, same this time. It’s like I’m not using all of my abilities. Should I do some practice?

That’s how we came down safely from the snowy mountain. As we walked out of the mountain range entrance and arrived at the sanctuary, Rapha Mariel greeted us with a startled face.

“… I really didn’t think it would be successful. Even the appearance of being accepted there. What happened?”

Rapha Mariel’s embarrassment was evident in her voice. I must have been genuinely surprised that her eyes widened.

“A lot has happened. It was hard. really.”

“I see… . Would you like to take a break?”

“no. We will return to the mansion immediately.”

“It’s better to have a meal and go…” .”

This girl is persistent. Because I have to go quickly.

“You have to go right away. My fiancé is waiting… ”

Rapha Mariel grabbed my wings as I was about to leave. Why do you grab the wings even if you catch them? It’s a sensitive area there.

“Even if it’s a story, please listen to the story a little bit.”

“What are you talking about?”

“About my relationship with Prodiction, who was at the top of an absolute mountain range.”

“… I won’t be listening for long.”

Prodiction now beats in my heart.

His end was gruesome and desperate, but it would be better to listen to the story. Because of the promotion, I also benefited. And I was curious about this lady.

I tucked in my wings and returned to human form.

“Come this way.”

Rafa Mariel guided me and the small warden into the sanctuary. Then, he guided me to the kitchen where there was a table, and several dishes were served. Maybe it’s because it’s the proper food I’ve seen in a long time, and my saliva started to collect.

“Let’s have a meal and talk.”

“… If it’s a long story, you may not hear it all.”

Rafa Mariel sat down and opened her mouth.

“Did you know that I am a contractor for Jackie Chan Grandine?”

“yes. Because I heard it first.”

“I was taking on the role of a watchman protecting the absolute mountain range where Prodiction was imprisoned under Grandine’s orders. But the moment you killed Prodiction, my contract ended.”

“Is there anything bad about you?”

Rafa Mariel said with a small smile. When I saw the change in his face, it was quite a relief.

“No, rather good. I got my freedom back with this. I should still be in the sanctuary, but it feels like the weight I’ve been carrying has eased.”

“So you wanted to repay us?”

“That’s right. All I can do is something simple like this.”

I want to go to Mikaris as soon as possible, but a meal is fine. My body hasn’t fully recovered yet.

“Then I’ll accept the favor.”

After eating like that,

“Thank you very much.”

“Goodbye. It was something I had to do anyway.”

Rafa Mariel bowed toward us. Then he whispered softly.

“The day we meet again will come.”

“… Let’s go, White Ghost.”

Sojeon and I rode the Hundred Ghost Horses and set off to a place where the dragon’s influence was unaffected. and,

“Teleport.”

He returned to the Marquis of Merian.

***

I returned to the mansion with Sojeon and knocked on the door.

“This is Count Johannes! I’ll open the door!”

Then, the attendants of the marquis came out in a hurry.

“The Count is here!”

“Count. Miss Mikaris is all right.”

Fortunately, news came that Mikaris was safe. I strode through the door of the mansion.

“Go straight to Mika. Tell the Marquis on his own.”

“yes. All right.”

The chamberlain headed to the Marquis’s office, and I went straight to Mikaris’ room.

“Aren’t you Sir Johannes! Could it be that you succeeded in obtaining the Dragon Heart?!”

A female high priest coming out of Mikaris’s visit spoke with a startled face.

“yes. It didn’t take long, did it?”

“On the contrary, I am surprised that you came so quickly. I’ve been waiting for 1-2 years… .”

The high priest was unable to speak.

“Then I will use the dragon.”

I left her beside me and entered Mikaris’ room.

When I entered the room, what caught my eye was Mika, who was breathing lightly with a drawn face. Not much time had passed, but seeing him like that made my heart ache.

‘Let’s stay calm. If it’s a dragon word, it’s possible.’

I sighed heavily and stood in front of her. pounding. My heart was beating loudly. What if the word doesn’t work?

A cold sweat broke out. However, there is no other way than this.

I take a deep breath,

“Wake up.”

used a verb

“Mika? Mika.”

“… … .”

It didn’t happen.

My pupils trembled and my hands started shaking.

Did Seri Verdia lie to me? But there’s no reason for her to do that.

There wasn’t much contact with me, and I didn’t even harbor a grudge against her.

Then why don’t you wake up? Need more time? The dragon clearly worked. My sense of acceptance was telling me.

“why… .”

I sat down.

“Mika! Mika!”

shouted.

“Wake up!”

Again, the verb was used.

But she never opened her eyes.

I was hoping for an answer this time,

This time I wanted to return,

I wanted to hear Mikaris’ echo this time.

There was no such thing.

“… Seri Verdia.”

did she lie to me At first, something was strange. No matter how much she was a saint, how did she know about dragon words and how to wake Mikaris?

‘Is the saintess’s eyes different?’

Before, when I looked through her with an insightful idea. I could feel an unknown ring that was different from the circle. I didn’t feel much power in the ring. So I passed it on calmly… .

Seri Verdia had more than one question. And, I’m very offended that this b*tch lied to me.

‘Seri Verdia…’

I closed my eyes tightly. I tried to hold back my anger that was about to explode. Then, as I was about to leave,

“… Hound?”
