Episode 299:
The deepest part of the Abyss.
Dragon rare.
Tsuzzzzzzzz.
The huge dragon that was radiating seven-colored magic changed into a human form.
It was a polymorph.
A man approached the woman.
Blue Dragon.
Or, it was a dragon-type monster called a blue dragon.
He bowed his head respectfully towards the dragon, which was now flowing with seven colors of magic power.
[Lord. There is a report.]
[Say.]
[The Giant King has been resurrected.]
[I see.]
[….]
That was all.
In response to a calmer response than expected, Blue Dragon Bordeaux opened his mouth again.
[Something to do…]
[It was done. I saw it too.]
Dragon Lord Hazard.
She said, her red eyes sparkling.
Because I know.
Just a little while ago, I was feeling Typhon’s energy.
The reason why it was an inconvenient body was beyond the realm of the dragon race.
It was to better feel his magical power, which had become incomparably weaker than in the past.
[It looks like Typhon joined hands with Rosaria.]
[That’s right.]
Bordeaux responded with admiration.
He is classified as ancient by human standards.
It was only after hearing the reports from the baby dragons that he understood this information.
Hazzard had already sensed Typhon’s magic power and also understood Rosaria’s involvement.
It was truly omnipotent magic sensitivity.
[Because I broke the law of the Abyss. Rosaria and Typhon. Both of you will get sick.]
[It sounds like you are telling me to attack them.]
[I dare you.]
Bordeaux lowered his head once again.
Even if it is not the law of the Abyss.
There is no way that Rosaria, who engaged Orgal, will be okay, and there is no way that Typhon, who was just resurrected, will be able to demonstrate his full strength.
Therefore, those with the closest territory should take Rosaria’s territory first.
It was advice with that meaning in mind.
but.
[Wrong.]
Hazard was adamant.
[If you were worried that other archdukes would attack Lair…]
[That’s not the case. Rosaria and Typhon. I think I can suppress both of them without difficulty now.]
[What if…?]
[The King of the Underworld’s key appears.]
[…!!]
The King of the Underworld.
And the key.
Bordeaux’s face was colored with surprise at the two words.
Although she has been assisting Hazard for a long time, this is the first time she has mentioned the Underworld King.
Besides, it’s a key.
Like many monsters, Bordeaux also recalled the legendary words floating around the Abyss.
‘The key that receives the king’s power will change the Abyss.’
This is a word that has been floating around since ancient times.
At the same time, it was also an absurd statement.
Numerous kings exist in the Abyss.
Quite a few of the highest species that received their power.
The boundaries of the territory the Archdukes form are too firm for them to change the Abyss.
In the past, Bordeaux would have thought little of legends that had no realistic possibility.
Other higher or higher species will not be much different.
But it was different now.
Archduke Hazard is in charge of one axis of the Abyss.
As a close associate of such a being, I heard a few facts.
A racial war being waged between the King of Upper World and the King of Lower World.
And the Demon Dragon King, formerly called Archduke Baal, is the current King of the Upper World.
That she would lead the dragon clan after him.
It was a shocking fact and I couldn’t accept it.
Myself for not being able to remember that fact.
Oneself who cannot even think about the origins of one’s species.
Hazard said this to Bordeaux:
[Nothing to be surprised. When the life of reincarnation begins, the Grand Duke also loses his memory. It’s the Underworld King’s dirty work.]
A power that can affect not only the memories of the highest-ranking servant, but also the memories of the Grand Duke?
Those were shocking words.
Hazard told Bordeaux a few more shocking facts.
The King of Underworld is currently keeping the dragons alive for the race war.
You never know when that behavior may change.
King Sanggye is also in constant contact with them, mentioning that they are from the same race.
The dragon tribe that commanded the Abyss was caught between the King of the Upper World and the King of the Lower World and had to watch out for them.
[Then what should I do?]
Bordeaux asked politely after reflecting on the situation they were in for a moment.
They are ready to sacrifice their lives at any time as soon as the order is given.
For the dragon clan in crisis.
And for Rod, who is more beautiful than anyone else.
[Rosaria would not have tried to resurrect Typhon.]
[….]
[There must be someone who persuaded Rosaria.]
[No way….]
A man appeared in Bordeaux’s mind.
[okay. human. Taehyun Kim.]
Taehyun Kim.
He was a contractor for Rosaria and was one of the people who started the turf war.
From what I heard, he was lucky enough to survive several attacks.
[It’s not just luck. This is the key to the King of the Underworld.]
[…!!]
Bordeaux could not hide his surprised expression.
At the same time, a human woman.
Asisat Ebi’s face came to mind.
[No wonder the Lord shared his power with that human…]
[Yes. It was just for this moment.]
Slurp.
The corners of Hazard’s mouth rose.
[Rosaria and Typhon. Even if you overpower them, you won’t become a true winner. What we need to target are humans.]
It was as if he had seen the future.
Hazard’s red eyes glowed colorfully.
[Asisat Evi. Who is around that lowly human?]
[The wind dragon Duhail is watching.]
[Ask Duhail to deliver my command. Bring Taehyun Kim. Also, be sure to remind yourself that if you fail this time, I won’t let you go.]
That was what I was saying to Asisat Ebi, Wind Dragon Duhail, and Bordeaux.
The reason Asisat Ebi was chosen as the contractor was because it was not easy to find a human body suitable for the dragon race.
There must have been some special reason for bringing in Kim Tae-hyun, even at the risk of threatening the contractor’s life.
Bordeaux hung his head.
[I will follow your orders. Lord.]
And then.
Another polymorphed member has entered the rare category.
[Lord. An uninvited guest came.]
[Who is it?]
A member of the family mentioned the name of the uninvited guest.
[Hoo.]
Hazard has become an interesting face.
* * *
Seoul, New Korea.
“Thank you for your effort. “Player Lim A-young.”
As she entered the association’s information department, the head of the information department bowed her head and greeted her.
There is a considerable age difference, but she is one of the few SS-level players in New Korea and the only daughter of a conglomerate, so she is treated in her own way.
“no. “Do you have any plans for the next mission?”
Lim Ah-young asked formally.
After reaching SS rank, I became even busier.
This is because I had to go on business trips not only to New Korea but also to other countries to resolve gate breaks that occurred sporadically, as if I had been waiting.
The same was true for Park Seong-jin, Kwon Kang-hyeok, and Kwak Si-yang, who reached SS grade around the same time.
“There is information that is still being sorted out, but the information has not been received from Night Walker.”
“is that so? “Then let me go and see for myself.”
“You mean directly?”
“yes. “If it has to be done anyway, it would be better to do it as soon as possible.”
“Then I will contact Night Walker.”
Lim Ah-young said hello to the head of the information department and left the association building.
It would be quick if you use the warp gate.
I wanted to walk a little.
After all, it is located not far from the association.
As she walked quietly, a man came to mind.
‘Kim Tae-hyun. Where are you and what are you doing?’
The only player who belongs to the association but is allowed to engage in independent activities.
No one said anything about Taehyun’s privilege.
That’s because if it weren’t for Taehyun, New Korea would have already been struggling in crisis several times.
‘Is that all?’
This time, Taehyun solved the gray disease and greatly increased New Korea’s power before quickly disappearing.
‘I’m not the type of guy to act for no reason.’
There had to be some reason.
The problem is that he can’t even guess why.
While I was thinking about this and that, I arrived at Night Walker.
“what.”
Before she knew it, there was a woman with her arms crossed in front of her.
Wearing sunglasses and a coat, he looked just like a celebrity.
There is only one person in Nightwalker who gives off this vibe.
“hi?”
Yoo Ah-young lowered her sunglasses and said hello first.
“….”
Lim Ah-young was slightly surprised by the unexpected action.
His half-sister Yoo Ah-young.
Didn’t she hate herself so much that she always warned her not to pretend to know her?
“You don’t even say hello to your sister anymore?”
Grinning.
She smiled like a deer and spoke again.
Yoo Ah-young’s personality became strange as she reached SS rank.
At first glance, I remembered hearing such a rumor.
‘Was the rumor true?’
That’s when I was thinking about it.
“Hmm~ What do you have to do here?”
Was he embarrassed by his thoughts about Taehyun and his sudden meeting with Yoo Ah-young?
Only then did Lim Ah-young remember the reason why she visited Night Walker.
“I came to receive… information.”
“aha. Then just take it and leave.”
Yoo Ah-young passed by again, raising her sunglasses.
Before she knew it, Jeong Han-soo was standing next to her.
“sister!!”
Lim Ah-young shouted belatedly.
Yoo Ah-young looked back.
“Where is Kim Taehyun…?”
She gathered her courage and finished speaking.
Let Yoo Ah-young look at that for a moment.
“Why is my baby brother curious about that?”
“Just…”
“Do you like it?”
“….”
Ahahahaha.
Yoo Ah-young watched the scene and burst into laughter.
“Little brother. Wake up from your dream.”
When Yoo Ah-young says that, it’s time to take a step back.
“It’s always been that way.”
Lim Ah-young muttered softly.
“hmm?”
Yoo Ah-young turned around at the sound of a voice filled with magical power.
“My sister said she didn’t want what she liked taken away from her. “From before.”
Zzzzzzz.
The air vibrated from the magic in the voice.
Without realizing it, my magic power was actually SS grade.
If it were another player, it wouldn’t be surprising if his body stiffened and fell.
However.
Eat.
The corners of Yoo Ah-young’s mouth rose.
“My little brother. “Are you crossing the line by asking me?”
“jealousy. Are you doing it?”
It seems like he doesn’t want to miss even the slightest opportunity.
Lim Ah-young looked directly into Yoo Ah-young’s eyes and asked.
“Hmm~ Little brother, I think you’re misunderstanding something.”
“….”
“Taehyun and I already share a lot in common. Body too. Even your heart?”
“what…!!”
This is when Ayoung, who is in tears, is about to scream.
“Guild leader. “We have to go quickly.”
Jeong Han-soo, who was next to him, shook his head and said.
“Hmm~ Deputy guild leader, what is more important, ‘work’ or ‘family’?”
“It’s work.”
“Tch. “It’s not fun.”
Yoo Ah-young, with her lips pouted, turned around without hesitation.
“Would you like to say hello to your father and mother?”
Contrary to Lim A-young’s wishes.
Jeong Han-soo and Yoo Ah-young walked quickly.
“As expected… something has changed.”
Take a moment to look at her back.
Lim A-young also took steps toward her original goal.
* * *
“That’s surprising.”
As soon as we got into the car, Jeong Han-soo opened his mouth.
“what?”
“Didn’t you hate Lim Ah-young? But today, talk to me first.”
“I don’t think I can stay quiet forever.”
“You’ve changed. Or are you mature enough for your age?”
“Would you consider that I have grown?”
“No matter what, there is nothing wrong with getting along well. “Isn’t Lim A-young now a decent SS-level player?”
“He’s an SS-level player.”
What is the probability that both sisters are SS-rank players?
They’re half-brothers, at least.
I can assure you that they were the only ones on earth.
“Have you heard anything from Taehyun?”
“Yes. I think I’m still in the Abyss.”
“Where is it?”
“Nothing is known except that it is the deepest level.”
The deepest part of the Abyss.
Unlike the now well-known deep area, it was still a place shrouded in mystery.
There’s even a rumor going around that you won’t be able to survive even if you’re not a SS level player.
Taehyun seemed to be going to places like that on his own.
As an information guild, it is painful to not be able to share that information.
There must have been a reason why Taehyun did that.
‘The guild leader seems to know something…’
Yoo Ah-young also only knew it personally and did not seem to be using it as information.
‘Either way, it won’t be harmful.’
This is a man who single-handedly developed a vaccine for gray disease, which was facing difficulties.
If Jeong Han-soo knew Tae-hyun, he wouldn’t be empty-handed when he came back.
“I’m looking forward to it.”
“That’s right.”
The two people remembered Taehyun’s face in different ways.
