-Roasting a dragon is great! It’s chewy meat!
Lars approached Aris as if he was intrigued.
-I am willing to forgive this thief if you serve her a roast dragon!
The guy gestured arrogantly towards Aris, who had already become a thief.
‘Please be quiet.’
Raon pushed away Ras, who was dancing in the air, and looked into Aris’ cold eyes.
I thought he was just a person seeking peace and freedom, but I didn’t expect him to make that kind of expression.
“When you say a rampaging mad dragon, do you mean a dragon?”
“that’s right. “It’s a dragon.”
Aris slowly closed and opened her eyes.
“Have you never heard of the bright dragon Kaibar?”
“yes. “I haven’t heard of it.”
“Well, it hasn’t been long since he woke up.”
She twisted her mouth and pulled out the stitches on the protector she was wearing on her wrist.
“Kaibar is a blue dragon that strangely hates humans.”
“You hate humans?”
Raon narrowed his eyebrows.
‘Is that possible?’
It is known that the dragon race is a neutral entity on the continent and only moves when the Demon King descends or when an abnormal situation occurs that cannot be resolved by humans or other races.
I’ve heard many stories of dragons ignoring humans, but this was my first time seeing a dragon hate them.
“Actually, it’s not a level of hate, it’s a level of disgust.”
Aris’ eyes sparkled fiercely.
“Since it woke up from its slumber, it has wiped out more than five coastal villages and cities.”
I could feel her anger toward the light dragon Kaibar in her trembling breath.
“I had no idea that happened.”
As I was preparing for the Shinju Oryeong meeting and focusing on the growth of Gwangpungdae and myself, I never even dreamed that a dragon attack would occur on a distant beach.
“Just as you think, most dragons regard humans as lesser beings and look down on them. However, sometimes a strange person appears. “There are some crazy people among humans.”
“… Yes.”
“That’s Khaibar. “It is recorded that even hundreds of years ago, massacres took place in the large cities around the nest.”
Aris frowned, saying it was a crazy lizard with waves crashing from its head.
-That is correct.
Lars nodded calmly.
-Not all lizards are expensive. Just like that thief woman said, there are some crazy things out there. And those guys… .
The guy patted his chubby stomach, completely extinguishing the creepy atmosphere.
-It became the king’s meal. I’m looking forward to it. Grilled lizard!
Lars drooled, thinking that it would be the first time in a long time that he could chew the flesh of a dragon.
“So that’s why Kubarud is here.”
Raon ignored Lars and turned his eyes to Kubarud, who was sitting on a chair.
“To make a weapon to kill dragons.”
All of the weapons in Cuberud’s workshop were large and sturdy. I wondered why they made something like that, but it seemed to be a weapon exclusively for large monsters.
“right.”
Kubarud nodded softly.
“Your body will die soon anyway. “I came out at the end to get some air.”
“Ha, you say that again. They say a lot of people died. “I jumped up and said let’s go.”
Aris shrugged, saying it was an inevitable inspiration.
“What nonsense!”
Cuberud seemed embarrassed and waved his hand to stop talking nonsense.
‘also… .’
Raon smiled slightly, looking at Cuberud, whose face was red.
‘Because he is a good person.’
Kuberud created a requiem sword to comfort those who died in the White Blood Cult, and handed over the rare and famous sword without any compensation.
He must have accumulated a lot of wealth, so he could play and eat for the rest of his life, but even seeing him risk his life in the sea to stop the dragon, he was someone you couldn’t help but respect.
‘and… .’
I saw Aris standing on the other side of Cuberud.
‘The same goes for Aris.’
Dragons are like a natural disaster to humans. No matter how much they said they would protect him, moving to catch a dragon was not something an ordinary person would do.
She was not only pursuing freedom, but was forced to create the existence of the Pirate King to protect those under her, showing that she was also a deep-thinking person, contrary to her appearance.
‘but… .’
Raon looked at the two people and touched his dry lips.
‘It’s almost impossible to catch a blue dragon in the sea.’
If you ask which of the dragons is the strongest, opinions will differ.
The Red Dragon, who is fierce and has the strongest firepower, the Gold Dragon, who can handle lightning and is wise, the Green Dragon, who becomes addicted just by getting close to him, and the Black Dragon, who controls time.
Since everyone thinks differently, different opinions are bound to arise.
But if you ask which dragon is the most difficult to hunt, the answers will all be unanimous.
Blue dragon in the sea.
The nest itself is in the sea, and the Blue Dragon, which freely manipulates water and cold, was no different from an impregnable castle for humans.
“Can you really catch a blue dragon?”
“Of course it’s not easy. Because Kaibar is not only at the mercy of sea monsters, but also the sea warriors. but… .
Aris raised her hand and clenched her fist. It sounded like her bones were crunching in his grasp.
“It’s not my personality to just be beaten like this.”
She smiled coolly, saying that it was something she had to do, whether it was porridge or rice.
“hmm… .”
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at Aris’ fist.
‘It’s a little different.’
At first, I thought Rimmer and Aris had similar personalities, but now I see there are some differences.
If Limer was a cool wind that blew freely through the winter forest, Aris was like a sea breeze on the Great Sea that could turn into a storm at any time.
“Can you help me?”
“Previously… .”
Raon postponed his answer and looked at Aris.
“I would like to hear about the top battle you mentioned at the beginning.”
Aris said that if you help with this task, Sangdangjeon will heal faster. She wanted to know how it worked for her.
“Have you heard of Jeonggishin?”
“I know.”
Raon nodded.
‘Both the head of the family and the Sword Demon emphasized this.’
I remembered it clearly because both Glenn and Rektar said that only when the Spiritual Gods are in harmony can they properly use their power and rise to a higher level.
“Jeong is the body. What is important is how fit your body is to use martial arts, but your Jeong… .”
Aris looked at Raon and curled the corners of her mouth.
“Sturdy yet flexible. To be honest, it’s more than a grandmaster. “I haven’t even achieved a complete transformation, but at that level, it makes me wonder what will happen in the future.”
Her gaze led to Raon’s Danjeon.
“Mana crawls. To us, it’s the auror of Danjeon. You’re weird about this too. The purity is so high that it makes you think that nature’s mana has been trapped in your Danjeon. “I don’t know how a kid who is still a master can do this?”
Aris shook his head, saying he didn’t understand.
“I guess I got lucky.”
Raon smiled slightly as he felt the ring of fire circling his heart.
‘Actually, it’s thanks to the ring of fire.’
The Ring of Fire is a practice that brings a martial artist’s body into the most ideal state.
It was no different from a transformation that took place slowly, as it changed the body to suit the martial arts that the warrior was learning, rather than necessarily being strong and fast.
Aurors were also purer than any other energy in the world because the ring of fire continued to purify them. This was the reason why he was able to defeat higher level warriors.
“The last scene I wore was Sangdangjeon. “It is a mysterious space, also called the realm of the soul or the world of images.”
Aris lightly tapped her temple and continued speaking.
“There’s a problem with your top battle right now. “It looks like I’ve raised it to the level where I can use the unfinished sword world, but now I can’t open it, right?”
“you’re right.”
Raon nodded honestly.
“That’s because there’s a big hole in your god. “Thanks to someone great, we avoided the terrible situation where God itself was destroyed.”
Aris pointed at herself and grinned.
“… thank you.”
“I didn’t mean to say thank you.”
She waved her hand and continued.
“I said it at the beginning. “Sangdanjeon is like the soul.”
“That’s right.”
“Your goal is not to raise a god, but to restore the state you previously achieved, so if you accomplish just one great feat, you will be able to fill that hole. And that… .”
She raised her finger. He pointed to the wide sea seen through the open door.
“The problem will be solved if we just catch one crazy lizard running around in the sea.”
“hmm… .”
Raon looked at Lars without answering.
-That thief woman is right.
Lars looked into Aris’ eyes and nodded.
-You ripped off the soul and summoned the main king. If you build up that level of status as I said, you will recover quickly.
‘Then it’s a good opportunity.’
I thought I would have to go back to the family and spend a lot of time getting treatment, but it seemed like I could recover much faster if I did what I said.
Of course, this is only possible if you catch the Blue Dragon.
“Can I ask one more question?”
“There’s more to say than meets the eye.”
Aris smiled and nodded.
“What? say it.”
“You said the Blue Dragon is causing monsters. Is there a Sea Serpent?”
“hey! Pirate King!”
She didn’t answer right away, but shouted towards the open door.
“yes!”
Labawin, who had forced himself to become the pirate king, came running.
“Was there a Sea Serpent among the monsters controlled by the light dragon?”
“About three, including King’s Serpent, were seen.”
“That’s right.”
Aris smiled as if she had gotten the answer.
“But why Mr. Serpent?”
“that is… .”
Aris was also a member of the family, and I thought everyone knew about it, so I told her that I was making Sylvia’s danjeon.
“You’re a good son, I like it as expected.”
“yes?”
“good. “I will take care of that somehow.”
She patted me on the shoulder and told me not to worry. She continued to feel that her personality was more refreshing than her looks.
“So what is your decision?”
“I may not be of much help right now, but… .”
Raon nodded, looking into Aris’ eyes that seemed like waves.
“Please take care of me.”

The private beach of the Robert family.
Derus Robert was looking at the calm sea with his back turned. As he was gazing at the horizon, unaware of the passage of time, Kubara appeared without even the slightest sound of sand.
“The investigation is over.”
Kubara placed a tray containing refreshments on the table and stood behind Derus.
Derus turned his back boringly slowly. He sat down in his chair and crossed his legs.
“Say it.”
“First of all, the Gwangpungdae prosecutors survived. “There were people who were so severely beaten by Orgos that they were on the verge of death, but miraculously, they came back to normal that day.”
“I heard that. “I want to know how he recovered.”
“I looked into the therapists who were there, but they really didn’t seem to know. “Even those who had given up on medicine when they woke up said they had recovered.”
The report was written in a dry tone, as if reading a book called Cuba.
“When you get involved with Sieghardt, all kinds of things happen. “What about Raon Sieghardt?”
Derus dusted his gloved hands and narrowed his eyes.
“No trace of him has been found anywhere on the continent. In the beginning, the Gwangpungdae, Cheongeomdae, and Sieghardt’s other corps came and searched Owen, Camelun, and Varene as if they were trying to find his location, but not long after, they all withdrew.”
Kubara raised her gaze as calm as the sea.
“If you combine the situation so far and the rumors that have been spreading… .”
“Are you saying he’s dead?”
“So is the judgment of the shadow.”
“What about Sieghart?”
“I’m still keeping my mouth shut.”
“Right.”
Derus turned his gaze towards the sea and closed his eyes.
‘I’m sure that’s true.’
Currently, Raon Sieghart has gained great fame throughout the continent by defeating the disciple of the Holy Sword Master and saving the Light Wind Blade from Orgos.
Since he was famous to begin with, there should have been rumors of his whereabouts by now.
However, Sieghart kept quiet after giving up on the search, and Raon’s whereabouts were nowhere to be found. Putting the details together, the only result was death.
Sigh.
Derus took off his black leather gloves. Sticky blood flowed from a burn-like wound on the back of his hand. He wet his lips with the blood that flowed from the wound and lowered his eyes.
“It wasn’t like that.”
Too bad.
* * *
Raon leaned back on the deck and looked at the turbulent night sea. The wind is rough.
We were on our way to the coastal city of Aikar to prepare for the dragon hunt, but as we were running out of time, the ship was moving at full power even at night, causing the ship to roll wildly.
‘This is good too.’
In fact, I didn’t really like the sea because Robert’s family was built on the beach, but seeing the night sea from the middle of nowhere made me feel calm.
-What is good? The food I eat is soup and beef jerky!
Lars shook his head, saying that his mouth tasted like tree roots.
‘It can’t be helped. ‘I heard you’re busy.’
Now everyone was busy preparing for war, so even the chef was dragged into work. This was not the time to complain about food.
‘Don’t worry, I’ll eat whatever you want when we get to the city.’
-Really?
‘okay. ‘I told you I was postponing my appointment for three weeks.’
It was no exaggeration to say that the entire Gwangpungdae survived thanks to Ras, so I was determined to keep my promise to eat whatever I wanted for three weeks.
-Huh, it’s surprising that you had such a conscience.
‘Don’t you think I’m too much of a villain?’
-You are the devil. No, it is the seed of an angel. You can never believe it.
‘Is that a compliment? ‘Is this an insult?’
-Of course it’s an insult!
Anyway, Lars seemed to feel relieved when he heard that he would keep his promise and smiled.
“Hmm… .”
Raon chewed his lips while looking at the sea dyed black like a shadow.
‘I don’t know if I can win.’
-Blue dragon?
‘okay. ‘It’s not an easy opponent.’
-It’s no different from a baby eel. If it doesn’t come out of the sea, wouldn’t it be okay to just freeze it whole?
Lars blinked as if wondering why he was worrying about such an easy task.
‘That’s something only you can do.’
-joy. Have you finally realized the greatness of this king? worship. You foolish human being.
The guy waved his sausage-like hand as if telling him to bow quickly.
‘Then… .’
Raon swallowed his saliva and approached Lars.
‘Can you teach me the abilities you used this time?’
Ras showed an unbelievable divine power that even froze the martial arts of transcendental people. I felt like it would be a great help in this job if I could learn that.
-Ohh!
Lars’ light blue eyes began to shine with a sly look.
-Do you want to learn from King Bon?
‘uh… .
-Why would the king teach you this?
The guy turned his head as if he realized he had the upper hand.
‘Good things are good things. ‘You have to finish this job well so you can eat the food you want.’
-Hmm, then there are additional conditions.
‘Additional conditions?’
-That’s right. To the king for a month… .
It was time for the guy to grin and say new conditions.
[I killed the person who broke away from the status of a human and reached the sky.] [I achieved an achievement that cannot be achieved at the current level.] [All abilities… .] [New traits… .] [The new title… .] [characteristic… .]
So many messages came to mind that it was difficult to come to my senses.
-uh?
Lars’ eyes widened when he saw the first message.
-A person who has escaped human status and reached heaven? Are you really talking about the guy who used that crude magical energy?
The guy’s open jaw trembled as if he was dumbfounded.
-That bastard was killed by the main king, so why is the reward going to you? Isn’t this too much! Where is this nonsense!
“hmm… .”
Raon looked through the message and calmly nodded.
‘Forget what I said a moment ago. I won’t need your help.’
-Aaaah!
