Chapter 370
Blood carries oxygen in the human body. Losing 10% causes lethargy and physical problems, losing 20% causes serious danger, and more than 30% usually leads to death. It was too common for a hunter to be in danger of excessive blood loss due to a battle with a monster.
Even if you are a hunter, the human body is so fragile. The mere lack of blood in the body causes serious abnormalities.
So what about dragons?
Like its name, the strongest creature, dragons do not die from lack of blood. The dragon’s mana stays in the body and creates the elements it lacks.
Even if there is a lack of blood, even if there is not enough food, even if there is not enough food, even if there is not enough oxygen in the air, the dragon’s mana converts the necessary elements of the body with amazing efficiency in any case.
They have different bodies and different engines than humans. Mana, which is called an all-purpose substance, could be manipulated at will without the help of skills or characteristics.
Then, what methods do dragon slayers use to catch dragons?
The method is so difficult to put into practice, but it is simple indeed.
Sealing or cutting the dragon’s heart and consuming all the mana in the body in the past. The only thing left for the dragon that consumed all the mana was death.
“…How painful was it?”
Adela knelt in front of the bed and asked while holding Velvet’s hand. But despite the visits from Adela, whom she liked so much, Velvet couldn’t answer anything. With Shin Ha-yoon depriving her of her mana, she was just struggling in a nightmare.
“Cow… Orca…”
Even though the dragon, Velvet, came as a nightmare and saved Adela himself, Adela couldn’t. All Adela can do now is hold the hand of the suffering Velvet.
“…velvet.”
Anger and anger, but Adela tried to close her eyes. Otherwise, I couldn’t contain the emotions that were fluctuating in my heart.
What Adela had to do to resolve this situation was to stop Shin Ha-yoon.
“…I will finish all of this before you wake up. So now, happy dreams…”
All Adela could do for Velvet was to borrow the power of the artifact Aden had left behind.
< Celestial Dragon's Mana Cloud > Unique
Information – A fragment of the Mana Cloud surrounding the Celestial Dragon, where the Dragon God’s mana is condensed in layers.
Details – Mana clouds increase the concentration of mana in the air around them. It can be absorbed by breathing, and even small pieces can be maintained for more than 10 hours.
Although it would be far short of the mana that Velvet had lost, the mana cloud of the Celestial Dragon was temporarily arranged.
< Yōkai Baku’s Dream Candy > Unique
Information – A candy created by the dream-eating yokai, Baku, from collecting happy dreams. Unusually, it is colorless and odorless candy.
Details – If you fall asleep with it in your mouth, you will surely have a happy dream.
Because of its rarity, Unique Artifacts cost at least 100 million regardless of their effect or usage. Adela was willing to use such luxurious items to give Velvet a good dream.
Saaa-
Adela put a piece of cloud into the humidifier and put a dream candy into Velvet’s mouth.
“Humm… Yum.”
Afterwards, seeing that Velvet’s expression had improved, Adela pulled back her hair and kissed her on the forehead.
Side-
Now Adela has only one mission left. Dealing with Shin Ha-yoon and getting Glass Heart’s mana back.
“theory. Take care of Velvet until I return.”
Adela put the teddy bear, Ron, in Velvet’s arms. Cooling down his anger for a cool mind, he opened a portal to the coordinates Shin Yoo-seong took.

rippling-
Hearing the babbling of the brook tickling his ears, Velvet thought. weird. I’m sure the place I slept was a hospital, but what is this sound?
However, it was not the ceiling of the hospital that greeted Velvet when she slowly opened her eyes, but a forest of block toys.
“Kyahang? Where is this place… It seems like a dream, but I can’t wake up!”
Velvet looked around with her arms crossed with a serious expression. The sound of the brook that I heard just now seems to be the flowing chocolate river…
“Kya-hyang! Chocolate River!”
This is a world of utopia that any child can return to. The river was made of chocolate, the soil was made of chocolate sponge cake, and the crawling bugs were jelly.
Velvet wasn’t even hungry, but she dipped her mouth into the chocolate river. Thanks to that, my eyes were wide open at the violent sweetness that made my tongue tingle.
“Hurrup- This river is chocolate! All soil is cake! Kyahang!”
What made Velvet feel even more fantastic was that no matter how many of these snacks she ate, she never felt full. It was also possible to enjoy snacks and happiness throughout the day.
“Kyaha! Besides, rocks are cookies!”
While Velvet enjoyed all the snacks around her with a happy expression, she unknowingly broke Toy World’s rules.
That’s the rule that no matter how delicious it is, you can’t eat someone else’s house.
“Yum yum the roof is a biscuit…”
Eventually, Toy World’s toy soldier, who had eaten the entire roof while he was sleeping, ran out the door and shouted.
“This guy! no! Trying to eat someone else’s house! Are you breaking the rules of Toy World?”
“Who breaks the rules?”
“Is that guy?”
As the dolls living in the cabin came out one by one at the voice of the toy soldier, Velvet scratched her head with an embarrassed face.
“Kyahang… I’m sorry, it was so delicious that I didn’t even know it…”
However, the toys that confirmed Velvet’s appearance raised their fingers as if they had made a promise.
“That tail!”
“That horn!”
“Even the tone of voice that adds kyahang-!”
“I’m sure he’s… Exactly!”
“King of toys!”
“Toy World has been waiting for you! The true owner of abandoned toys!”
Wow-
the toys lifted up and rinsed the velvet with cries of delight.
“What is it, Velvet is the true owner!? After all, velvet is amazing!”
The parade of toys, led by velvet, has become increasingly gigantic. At first it was about five, but let’s head to the castle, not the forest. The number of toys has increased endlessly.
“Our master!”
“We have been waiting and waiting for this moment!”
“Toi King will be delighted!”
“I’m marching with my master towards the castle where the king is!”
The march of velvet and toys grew larger and headed towards the toy castle. At this point, Velvet wondered who the king the toys had been talking about was waiting for him.
“Kya-hang is such a great hospitality~ Who the hell has been waiting for Velvet like this?”
Crossing the castle gate and passing through the winding corridor, you arrive at the throne of Toy World before you know it. However, the only thing Velvet could see in front of her eyes was a prince made of blocks, but the king the toys spoke of was nowhere to be found.
“No one else is on his back…”
Tilted-
Velvet tilted her head and checked the area around the throne as if it were strange. A sleek head with white patterns sticking out and a black tail.
“No way… Oh Orca!?”
When Velvet called out her name with a face of disbelief, Orca cautiously poked her head out.
“…Whoops, that’s the correct answer! You haven’t forgotten! I have been waiting for my little master!”
“Kyaha! of course! Only one day has passed yet!”
“I see. That must be the original dream world! This is a world where a day is like a year and a year is like a day. Of course, I didn’t expect to see you this soon!”
Orca and Velvet hugged each other in a thrilling embrace, vigorously wagging its tail. It was a very strong tail wag, like a puppy that had a happy event.
“I have a lot to tell you! There are many places to show you!”
Velvet and Orca rode a unicorn to avoid flying piranhas and crossed rainbows to see kingdoms.
Among them, there was a castle with pretty princess dolls and Jurassic Island with dinosaur models.
They had so much fun that even the velvet wanted to sit down and rest in a comfortable place.
“Kyahaang, I’ve been looking around all day… but I haven’t finished it, so there are so many toys…”
Velvet and Orca sat around the outside of the toy castle. The whole view of Toy World could be seen at a glance, but nevertheless, the toy world was endlessly spread out.
“I probably won’t be able to look around for the rest of my life. There are various toys in Toy World. But they have something in common.”
“Kyahang? what is that?”
At Velvet’s question, who tilted her head, Orca looked into the distance. Then, in a nonchalant voice, he spoke as usual.
“That’s… the fact that all of Toy World’s toys have been abandoned. All little children get old, and grown humans don’t look for old toys anymore.”
As if a scene in a fairy tale changed, the sunny day was over. The sun disappeared on the other side and the square moon rose. The thing that beautifully embroidered the sky was not a star like Toy World, but a star-shaped mobile.
“…entire?”
Orca just laughed at Velvet’s somewhat worried question.
“…I was a toy so old and worn that I can’t even remember what it looked like.”
okay. It was such an old memory that even my memory is fuzzy now. But to be able to bring this up to someone is definitely growth. As a human being, it was like becoming an adult.
“Originally, what a boring toy I was. It has passed through the hands of many young children… but was always abandoned within a week.”
“Oh ditch the orca!? It has a tail and is so cute!?”
Wouldn’t it have been abandoned if it had such a beautiful streamlined body and black tail even then? Orca didn’t know the killer whale’s cries, so he just laughed.
“I see. I wish I had a tail like this back then.”
The toy that was abandoned like that became toyking. Using his heart that he did not want to be abandoned, he moved the body of the toy here and there.
He was full of ambition to one day conquer the human world and dominate the children who had abandoned him, but thinking about it now, it was Toiking’s great luck and happiness to be able to settle down in Orca’s body.
“…Little Master. I met the little master and learned what it means to be valued.”
Velvet and Orca looked at the moon.
The square moon emitted light and welcomed Velvet and Orca. The moon, which had never been seen before, was warmer than the real sun emitting sunlight.
“I’m also excited to meet Orca.”
Orca held her breath at Velvet’s words. Maybe the real wish he wanted so much was not something grandiose like conquering the world.
A short answer from just one child was enough.
“Velvet… I don’t want to part with Orca yet.”
Orca refrained from answering Velvet’s small murmur. Even though he thought that now was the moment to express his gratitude, it was not easy to gather his mind.
“Velvet… will remember Orca for the rest of his life.”
Orca put her hand on the mournful Velvet’s back.
“It’s a lifetime… It’s a really good sound. What could be a better life for a toy?”
This is the last dream allowed to Velvet and Orca. best dreams. Orca didn’t want to ruin this moment, so she held back her tears so that Velvet couldn’t hear her.
“Orca… They say that if you make a wish on the round moon, it will come true. Even the square moon… is that so?”
Orca nodded at Velvet’s sniffling question.
“Yes, it will definitely happen.”
some silence.
Velvet opened her eyes and said in a much improved voice as if she had no doubt that her wish would come true.
“Velvet… begs me to meet Orca again.”
“I…” I
haven’t made a wish yet, but Orca’s wish was the same. However, it was meaningless to make the same wish.
In the end, Orca had no choice but to wish once again, just like the day he obtained Toy King’s ability.
Orca made a wish.
It’s an undeserved dream, but if given the chance, this time I wished that I would be born as a human being, not a toy, and become a friend of my little master.
Of course, it was like a dream that could never come true, so Orca didn’t say it straight away.
“yes. I made a wish like that too! I want to meet the little master again!”
Velvet will be sad, so I told a nice lie for the first time.
