CH 338
13. Constellation, Cave of the Evil Dragons (2)
Changsun refused all interviews from reporters as well as all the politicians who were waiting to take a picture with him, and went straight to the VIP landing area.
In the first place, even such a pretentious event did not fit his personality, and the situation
It was because there was a request from the members of the association that Lee should move.
And when he got on the helicopter to Pohang. Changsun was able to meet a familiar face after a long time.
“long time no see.”
angled beret. Epaulettes that sparkle in the light. He was a soldier who went perfectly with his boots and uniform.
Changseon asked, who looked at the hand reaching out for a handshake while greeting with a salute.
“who?”
“… … Hahaha. but. remember me
It won’t be strange if you can’t.”
The soldier smiled mischievously, removed his hand and scratched his cheek. Changsun smirked and held out his hand.
“It’s a joke. Long time no see. Almost a year?”
“It is an honor to remember you.”
The soldier was then able to smile and shake hands with Changseon.
“Actually, the name is a bit confusing.”
66… This is Captain Park Hae-seong of the Awakening Unit under the Military Security Support Command. This time so you can definitely remember
We will support you.”
Park Hae-seong.
He was the soldier Changseon met when he woke up at Jamsil Gate. I still remember vividly how he was running around naked to somehow protect civilians blinded by his greed.
And although he couldn’t meet face to face, he didn’t hear from him through the hundred winters on ‘The Island of Blue Jewels’, where he first looked for traces of Kali.
“Captain? Wasn’t he promoted from second lieutenant to lieutenant?”
“Yeah. Somehow… in the meantime.
99 I’ve been promoted.”
Seeing the young bitter smile on the lips of Captain Park Hae-seong, it seemed that a formidable event had taken place in the meantime.
“You seem to have a lot of stories to tell, but let’s start by talking.”
“Yes.”
This was when Captain Park Hae-seong was about to instruct the pilot to depart.
“line!”
Suddenly, Cha Ye-eun ran over this way.
Changsun is a sign asking you to wait for a moment
and got off the helicopter.
“Take this.”
Cha Ye-eun forced something into Chang-sun’s hand.
When I checked what it was, it was a cartridge case used for live ammunition. It looked like it could be hung around the neck when the necklace was attached.
However, upon closer inspection, several magic circles were engraved on the surface of the casing.
Linked magic that can be automatically activated in case of emergency.
[Ithaca’s Necklace] Cha Ye-eun, who realized her identity, is an artifact created by combining Shinji of Olympus and Hyeji of the brilliant star.
Many magics are interlocked like gears and are designed to be activated in case of emergency. Normally, it will act as a talisman that helps the owner’s condition.
. Type: Artifact, Necklace. Effect: Chain magic. protective barrier. fitness support. Power protection..
“I wondered what they did on the plane… .”
“What do you know. Do you know how unfair it is to not be able to go even if you want to go with us?” Cha Ye-eun puffed up her lips. All of his powers were sealed, and he was unhappy with his state of being unable to do anything.
If I could cast even basic magic, I would follow. I couldn’t do that, so I made these artifacts out of regret.
“thanks.”
“Hey, hey! I see people… … !”
Chang-sun was grateful for Ye-eun’s kind heart and hugged her tightly. Cha Ye-eun only smiled bashfully to see if she was in a bad mood even though she was grumbling.
“You too. Yeeun is taking good care of her.”
“Do not worry.”
“Take care of yourself.”
“huh! What do you think of us?” Changsun smiled lightly as she saw her three daughters reacting differently, then unpacked their hugs and got back into the helicopter. And after a while.
doo doo doo
The helicopter flew into the sky as it vigorously turned the propellers.
Cha Ye-eun did not leave her seat for a long time after her helicopter disappeared as a dot.
She barely sighs and tries to turn around.
“Oh, what a surprise! Hey! Give yourself a little bit and go!”
When she saw Jin-seok-tae standing tall next to her, she was startled.
Jinseok-tae blinked her eyes.
“Have I been here before? A senior has something he can’t see because he’s obsessed with her… … !”
sting!
Jin-seok-tae reflexively interrupted her on the way. She was going to get really scolded for talking more here.
So she was embarrassed. Because the difference between how she treats Changseon and how she treats herself was too great.
For Jin-seok-tae, over the past few days, there have been a couple of times when she wondered if her boss, who had been by her side for years, could even make that kind of expression.
it wasn’t the time By the way.”
“What?”
“The width of the world… no, it’s over the brain now. Anyway, since when did you and Chang-sun Lee become like that?”
“you do not need to know.”
“Whether it’s Le’rue or something, something must have happened there…” “I don’t know.”
“Give me a break. Yeah? Yes? “Ignoring those words, Cha Ye-eun turned her around and she was about to leave the take-off area.
far away I saw footsteps approaching this way.
drop!
Jin-seok-tae stopped the same, but why she wanted to look ahead and then tilted her head.
A middle-aged woman in a neat suit and one eyeglasses over her one eye. Jin-seok-tae was about to come out to ask why she had come, but Cha Ye-eun’s voice caught his foot.
“Ananta.”
“It’s been a while, miss.” The woman smiled happily
All. However, for some reason, Cha Ye-eun clearly felt a sign of embarrassment.
who the hell is that person? Jin-seok-tae opened her eyes and looked at Cha Ye-eun and the woman alternately. And he raised his magic power little by little, just in case.
Meanwhile, Cha Ye-eun and the woman continued to talk.
“Here… what’s going on?”
“The king wants to see the young lady.”
“Dad… go?”
“Yes.”
Cha Ye-eun quietly stepped back with her right foot.
“You must go… Sun?”
“It’s a command to finish the two-man play and go home.”
play.
One of Cha Ye-eun’s eyebrows twitched at the word, but instead of reacting, she mumbled so softly that only Jin Seok-tae could hear it. “Seok-tae.”
“Yes?”
“run.”
… Yes?”
Kick!
Cha Ye-eun didn’t listen to Jin-seok-tae’s answer and started running in the opposite direction of her. “Wait, senpai? Elder! Let’s go together!” With Jin Seok-tae belatedly following Cha Ye-eun.
Her lone woman, Ananta, sighed slightly as she put on her monocle glasses.
“In any case, it seems that her youngest daughter is the most upset in any house.”
muttering like that
Paah!
He became a light and started chasing after Cha Ye-eun and Jin Seok-tae.
The sound of the propellers spinning was so loud that Changseon was able to receive a report on the current situation from Captain Park Hae-seong through the headset he wore.
I had just heard that the key personnel of Team L and Baekho were moving through another helicopter.
“The current situation is… … Simply put, it’s dark
I can only express that.” The report began like that.
“Among the troops deployed in the first round, casualties are close to 60%. Five clans were destroyed, three of the A-rankers were killed… .』J
Changseon seemed to understand well why Captain Park Hae-seong expressed gloomy.
After the dungeon break occurred, the Korean government and association dispatched a response team consisting of players and special forces on a total of three occasions.
And total war with successive failures
They had to receive a disastrous report card saying that the majority of the crew were casualties.
“…… It is said that even at this time, the dragon lord and dragon army are moving north at a fast pace. For that reason, evacuation orders were declared in Yeongdeok, Mungyeong, and Sangju along the route… … … .” The tablet PC held in Changseon’s hand continued to show photos that were barely captured by satellite.
And there was always a guy in each picture.
Ricardus.
“In China and Japan, this situation
Judging that it was a crisis similar to the ‘South Africa situation’, we decided to dispatch reinforcements… … .』
Even the guy was looking exactly this way taking the picture. It was as if he was trying to tell him that he was here.
‘No, it doesn’t look like that, that’s his message. Because it was Ricardus who asked to meet first.”
There was one more thing.
Ever since I heard about this dungeon break incident, it’s been on my mind.
what was
“The Korean government initially rejected this, but due to continued operational failures, we were forced to accept the volunteers, and now support troops from China and Japan are waiting at the 4th line of deterrence.”
“What kind of mob is the dragonlord?”
Changseon cut Captain Park Hae-seong’s waist on the way. I’ve heard all the important parts, so the rest doesn’t seem to matter.
However, Captain Hae-Sung Park, unlike before, did not immediately answer, but pursed her lips.
he asked.
In an instant, various emotions flashed across his eyes.
Anger, regret, remorse, sadness, loneliness… … … .Changseon had an intuition that there was some kind of relationship between Captain Park Hae-seong and the Dragon Lord.
‘By the way, did I mention that there was a dungeon break before?’
And at that time, Korea had a sense of crisis that it might be on the path of destruction, just like the ‘South African crisis’ experienced by South Africa… … I remembered that
‘Is it related to that?’ I said that the soldiers suffered the most, so I didn’t know that maybe there were people who participated in the war or some of my acquaintances.
Capt. Hae-seong Park took a deep breath before he could barely open his mouth with a slightly stable gaze.
…. … The dragonlord is a monster.”
all”
He lowered down to the tablet PC he was holding in his hand for his report.
『In the meantime, he has been involved in numerous subjugation operations, both domestically and internationally, but it is by far the only one I have met with such a man.
This is unique.”
The expression “monster” seemed to mean that there was no way to compare it with other monsters. Actually,
Capt. Hae-seong Park was able to vividly recall the image of the man he had seen at the time, as strong as the impression he had received from him.
He walks upright like a human, wears black robes on his body, and holds a magic booklet in one hand.
Reptile-specific longitudinal pupils
The scales on each of his fingers, and even the tail peeking through the hem of his robes, everything came to mind.
『He knew not only the power to carry the army of dragons, but also a variety of magic. But if the close combat was weak… … Nor was it.”
Changsun nodded his head saying yes. No matter how unique it looks, a dragon is a dragon. Considering that it is a high-ranking dragon, even the most worthy of a godly character is careless even if you look at the physical alone.
would be difficult to do.
“But the thing he feared the most was the booklet he was holding in his hand.”
“book?”
“Yes. At first I thought it was just a simple magic book, but it was absolutely not. The magic book was clearly a living creature. It was like talking to the dragon lord and doing magic separately.”
“Well….”
『The fact that all the power that was put into the first dungeon break was annihilated… … No, ‘the one I grabbed.’
His clenched fists were trembling.
“It was the magic book.”
Changseon could read the deep murderous intent from Captain Park Hae-seong. A murderous intention to tear it apart with his own hands. Even compared to what Changseon had with Jami-dusu’ and ‘Chungungdo’, it seemed like it would never fall behind.
‘I got eaten… … D.’ Changseon looked at the picture of the Dragon Lord while repeating Capt. Hae-seong Park’s expression.
‘The more you look, the more you see.’
In the figure of the man who possessed the army of dragons, the power of a transcendent was felt.
A dungeon is a fragment of a world that has come to an end. The beings living in it, even if they have free will, are mere thought-forms without a soul. So, in the first place, dissolution and transcendence were impossible to achieve… … The dragonlord has done it.
That means one thing.
The existence that was the prototype of the dragon lord must have had a very supreme dignity.
‘It’s too familiar.”
Chang-sun’s eyes sank deeply.
