Episode 358:
The deepest part of the Abyss.
The exact center of the territory ruled by the seven dragons.
Dragonia, a huge tower built there.
Six old men with hair of various colors were sitting at the top of the huge tower that seemed to be connected to the red sky.
These were pure-blooded dragons who held the position of head of each clan.
Agni, the head of the Red clan, has a long red beard.
Halligan, the leader of the White Clan, has long white hair.
Garland, the head of the Green clan, with green hair covering his entire body.
Blanc, the head of the Black clan, with black hair that stretches out like a mane.
The head of the Gold clan, Blonde, boasts flowing blonde hair.
Sylphid, the head of the Silver clan, with impressive frozen silver hair.
With only two seats left at the huge round table.
The sight of six old people sitting around and staring at each other was both friendly and scary.
While we haven’t seen each other, we are exploring whether the other person has achieved anything new.
The clans under Dragon Lord Hazard became one.
This is because there is still competition behind the scenes.
The only good thing is that they don’t fight openly because there is a being called Lord.
If Hazard wasn’t the focal point, at least three of the seven clans would have disappeared by now.
[It’s been a long time since the leaders gathered like this.]
Agni, who is known to be hot-tempered after Blanc, said, stroking his red beard.
Although I am the latest to arrive here.
It was because I didn’t like the current situation where everyone was exploring each other and assessing each other’s skills.
Starting with that, the five leaders each opened their mouths.
[I heard Regiel became Bordeaux’s successor? I thought Galleon would take his place, but…]
[Maybe it’s true that he disappeared. I’ll have to check the details when Regiel arrives.]
[He has shown a smart side since he was Jackie Chan, following in his father’s footsteps, but he is already a leader… It seems like he became an elder not too long ago.] [Blanc
. Since you are stuck in the rare, you won’t notice the passage of time. How about getting some fresh air outside sometimes?]
[Halligan. I don’t think it’s something you, stuck in a tower and assembling dragons, should say.]
[More than that, is Regiel still there? I believe they sent a letter asking that child to participate as well.]
[You must be out of breath coming all the way up here.]
Agni chuckled and answered Silphid’s question.
[That’s not wrong. If it was the last achievement I saw, it might take quite a while.]
The blonde said and twisted her flowing blonde hair.
[Still, he is a leader in name and character. This level of hazing is not necessary.]
It was Halligan who said that.
White magical power rose like a haze from her body.
The same was true for other leaders.
From the moment they sat down, they were showing off their respective spirit in all directions.
It is said that the power of Polymorph has been somewhat weakened.
This is the energy that the clan leaders exude.
The range started from the top of Dragonia and reached to the lowest level of the tower.
It was a battle of nerves, but it was also a prank to make the person who came later feel more pressure.
In other words, Regiel, the youngest of the seven chieftains, must endure the courage of the six chieftains to get to this place.
[If you’re at the elder level, it will probably take a day to get there. It will be a good opportunity to check the child’s achievements.]
[I hope I don’t disappoint.]
Sylphide and Blanc said this and strengthened their spirit.
If they can’t overcome this level of aggression, it will be proof that the Blue clan has regressed.
It was indeed an arrogant thought, but no one thought differently.
[Everyone is busy, so why not get straight to the point?]
Garland, the head of the Green clan, also strengthened his magical powers and opened his mouth.
All clan heads have equal status.
Garland was a particularly long-lived old dragon.
[You know about the recent rumors, right?]
[You mean Mr. Hazard’s contractor is going on a rampage?]
Blonde asked, and the other four leaders nodded.
[Yes.]
[It is truly a ridiculous rumor.]
[But it is also true.]
[It has been confirmed that the condition of the elders of our clan has also become abnormal.]
The last person to speak was Agni.
Several leaders nodded at his words.
A status that can only be attained by those with a dragon heart who are selected among pure-blooded dragons.
That was the elder.
However, for some time now, they have been showing abnormal symptoms, wagging their tails like scared dogs.
Even though a convening order was issued to confirm the truth of the rumor, they are not responding.
However, it was not a complete betrayal.
They simply go around meeting elders of other clans, taking precedence over the orders of the leader.
It all started from the moment strange rumors began to spread.
[The same goes for our clan.]
Halligan agreed.
[Likewise,]
the blonde agreed.
[At the starting point is the Blue clan.]
Garland, who was the only one of the six clans to complete the investigation, said as if he were assertive.
Garland’s explanation continued.
It’s all said that the change occurred after visiting the territory of Bordeaux, the former head of the Blue clan.
It is said that Hazard’s new contractor was discovered there.
[Does this mean that Regiel has done something?]
[More than that, has Master Hazard changed the contractor?] [This
is the first time I have heard this news from the main dragon as well.]
[I heard that even if he inherits Master Hazard’s power, he is at the level of trash?]
[Master. Don’t you know the character of This is someone who will throw it away without mercy when it is no longer needed.]
They all knew how scary Hazard was.
Just a long time ago.
This is because they are the true and appointed leaders of the seven clans.
That fear still lingered in my body.
[I heard that Hazard went into hibernation.]
[I’m sorry. Even though six of the clan’s elders and one leader have disappeared, there is no way to confirm.]
[When did Hazard share information with us?]
[That’s not wrong.]
It’s just that Bordeaux, who is at the same leader level, delivered Hazard’s message.
Because of this, the Blue clan knew more information than other clans and enjoyed power equivalent to Hazard’s personal guard.
[Reziel. You will find out when that child comes.]
That is then.
From the bottom of the tower to the top floor.
A huge dragon appeared that pierced the spirit of the six leaders.
The blue scales sparkled exceptionally under the red sky.
It was Regiel, the head of the Blue clan.
[I’m late.]
As he folded his wings, he polymorphed and bowed to the others.
[Welcome. You have grown wonderfully.]
[You became the leader, right? Now I have to give him an honorific title.]
[Welcome.]
[I’ve already been waiting.]
Some still treated Regiel as if they were elders, while others treated Regiel as befits a leader.
Regiel, too, was not arrogant and sat down in one of the two empty seats.
[This brings together all seven clans.]
Garland nodded, his eyes shining.
Starting with that, questions from the leaders continued.
[Reziel. I have something to ask.]
[Are you certain that Bordeaux has disappeared?]
[Yes.]
Regiel answered calmly, as if this was an expected reaction.
[Asmodeus. The Lord summoned the elders to capture the archdemon alive. Did Bordeaux fall victim to him as well?]
How did the elders of each clan disappear?
We are asking for the truth, not just rumors.
[The clan’s squadron leader and other elders were injured in the battle with Asmodeus.]
Regiel’s answer drew sighs from all over.
This is because I never thought that Asmodeus, who grew up to be the Great Devil, would be this strong.
Regiel continued.
[Although it caused serious injuries. It was not the Great Evil that destroyed them.]
[Really?]
[Hazard has selected a new contractor. ‘He’ personally took the lives of the seven clans.]
[…!!]
[…!!]
[…!!]
Some were surprised and some were silent.
especially.
[The nuance of the words is strange. Doesn’t it seem as if they are deifying him?]
[If that is true, avenging Bordeaux would not be enough.]
Agni and Blanc’s reactions were direct.
[No matter how much I am Lord’s contractor… I cannot leave alone a person who has harmed my clan.]
[He must be killed.]
Agni and Blanc raised their voices.
Several leaders nodded in agreement.
[There is no need for that. Our clan decided to follow ‘him’. Because of my father’s sacrifice, the clan rose to even greater heights.]
Bang!!
Blanc slammed the table.
[You’re talking like a dog. Did your brain deteriorate while you were not looking at it, Regiel?]
Regiel bared his teeth at the growling manner in which he spoke.
This is because being ignored by the leader is the same as being ignored by the clan.
[Blanc. If you are the head of the clan, be respectful to me.]
[What a brat.]
Krrrr.
Black magical power bloomed from Blanc’s body.
[Calm down, Blanc. Please calm down too, Regiel. But it also sounds strange to me. It sounds like you are planning to betray Mr. Hazard. Isn’t that right?]
Garland began to mediate, implicitly calling Regiel a higher title.
They thought Regiel had made a mistake and wanted to give him a chance to explain.
[I’m not saying I’m going to betray you. I’m just trying to help ‘him’, Lord’s contractor, for the revival of the clan.]
[That’s what he said!!]
Boom!!!
Blanc shouted, hitting the table again.
[….]
It was such a blunt statement that even Garland could no longer do anything about it.
[For the first time in a while, I agree with Blanc’s words.]
Starting with Agni’s words, the ridicule continued.
[Reziel. You don’t look sane right now. Has it degenerated like Blanc said?]
[Bordeaux will be truly happy to see that. I can’t believe my family was left in the hands of such a childish brat. Tsk tsk.]
[Where are Galleon and Garot? All elders must have the qualifications to become the next head. Surely it wouldn’t be strange for them to lead the clan too?]
Even as he made eye contact with those who were mocking him, Regiel’s expression did not change at all.
You are confident.
They too will soon walk the same path as themselves.
Is that why?
[Galleon and Garot. The two elders have disappeared.]
In an instant, Regiel’s tone changed.
[Galleon and Garot have disappeared. I have my doubts, but before that, I’d like to ask you a question. Did you do this?]
Garland asked as the representative, calming the others.
Of course I know that’s not the case.
I don’t know about Garot, but Galleon is at the same level as Bordeaux.
This is because it is evaluated as having higher power than the current Regiel.
There was no way that he, who had overcome the first stage of the dragon race, would be defeated by Regiel, who had not yet reached the next stage.
No, even if Regiel had truly dealt with Garot and Galleon, he deserved to suffer corresponding injuries.
[I am not. It was done by Lord’s contractor.]
Regiel said calmly.
I couldn’t sense any anger or guilt in that voice.
[That damn contractor from earlier. Where on earth is that bug!!]
Blanc shouted as if he was annoyed.
His spirit exploded, and the entire area was immersed in darkness.
at that time.
“It’s here.”
Ssssssut.
One seat left empty for loading.
A man appeared there.
It was Taehyun.
