Chapter 766: O-ryong-jaeng-ju (9)
A long time passed in this space by the time I accepted Jeokryongs proposal.
Still, much time wouldnt have passed back there.
It would be efficient to cooperate with Jeokryong. It wont be too bad if I could borrow the power of a superior being.
I felt the advantage because I didnt consider that Jeokryong, Baekryong, and Heukryong would lend me their powers so actively.
While I was watching the three dragons pull up their strength
[Its truly fascinating.]
[What is?]
[Weve talked a lot with a human. Weve given a lot of important information in that conversation.]
Hekryong turned her blindfolded face toward me.
Her hair, put up with a ribbon, shook greatly.
[Normally our strength would be limited if we interfere too much with the world. Im a little worried, to be honest, but Im sure itll be alright!]
[Is that so? I think there are fewer penalties than intervening in this world through the shamans.]
[Even the Dragon King gave the benefactor important information before. Other than him being the benefactor, I think theres another reason.]
Jeokryong showed interest in Heukryongs words.
Simply thinking about it, it might be because of the Destiny skill.
However, no matter how powerful that skill is, its only a skill.
Although it lets me meet superior beings, its unlikely that this skill alone can overturn the universal law that imposes penalties on superior beings getting involved in worldly matters.
Maybe its because Im a transformed object from another world?
[Baekryong, did you hear anything from the Dragon King?]
Heukryong asked the reticent Baekryong.
Baekryong ignored her several times as if he had no intention of answering Heukryong, but the latters persistence made him answer.
[He wouldnt be the Dragon Clans benefactor if he werent skilled and unique.]
[Why are you pointing out the obvious? I asked if the Dragon King told you anything!]
[Our job right now isnt to dig up information on the benefactor.]
Heukryong and Baekryong bickered, but Jeokryong didnt intervene since they didnt stop using their power.
Jeokryong spoke apologetically.
[Those two dragons remained immature after ascension.]
Its true, but I couldnt say that out loud so I just laughed vaguely.
Jeokryong continued.
[You received a request from Chokryong. I am sorry about that.]
You knew?
[Yes.]
Perhaps their original reason for reaching out to me was Chokryongs request.
Come to think of it, Jeokryong said something about Hwangryong before things started to happen.
If the situation hadnt changed, maybe they wouldve brought up the topic earlier.
[Hwangryong has a lot of things to carry. I hope you can relieve some of that burden.]
I promised to fulfill Chokryongs favor so I dont intend to feign ignorance, but I cant believe theyre asking for it like this.
As much as Hwangryong misses the dragons who ascended, those dragons care for him too.
The dragons worries didnt end there.
[I think something happened back on the ground. Will it be okay? I dont have enough strength to go look right now]
[Chokryong is there with them. Itll be okay.]
[But the enemies know that shes there!]
Heukryong and Baekryong had another thing to argue about.
If theyre so worried about the Dragon Clan, why did they choose to ascend?
It seems that all of them shared the same thinking as Yong Jegun.
[I dont think theres a problem.]
Baekryong suddenly looked at me.
[The Dragon Clans benefactor said that it will be okay.]
Following Baekryong, the other dragons also looked at me.
Heukryong added.
[Oh, its the same suspicious expression as earlier.]

Red Lion Team Building.
The Demon Race priests swallowed a piece of cloud the color of Ogansaek and crossed the boundary silently.
It was futilely easy to break down the 12-point alliance boundary.
When they thought of the hard work they put into overpowering the Tiger Clans boundary, they began to laugh in vain.
Even if the boundary was weakened when they moved, this is too sloppy. I didnt expect the Dragon Clan to trust the shamans this much.
The demons recognized the red flame and the person behind it.
This is where my wife stays. What business do you have here?
Yeom Bangyeol, team master of the Red Lion, Yeom Junyeols father, and their targets husband, blocked their path.
The demons suppressed their agitation and prepared for confrontation.
Its Yeom Bangyeol! What happened? We definitely made sure that hes gone.
The Red Lions main force was on the move for sure. I even heard that Yeom Bangyeol was the greatest contributor.
It doesnt make sense that hes here, unless he came as soon as the otherworld was subjugated.
He wasnt here when Little Hongryong returned to the building.
They thought it was impossible for Yeom Bangyeol to be here right now.
Unless they are ambushed here, with the Red Lion knowing what they were aiming for.
The Red Lion only has capable players. They can take on that level of otherworld without me, and they can buy me time for me to protect my family.
They can see Yeom Bangyeol saying useless things, but the red flames around him got more intense.
Chromatic heat increased while Yeom Bangyeol talked and bought time.
The demons noticed this and signaled,
At the end of the day, this guy is human. Kill him!
As the demons took off their headscarves, Iranus seal carved on their foreheads shone.
The seal symbolizing wrath burned red, as red as Yeom Bangyeols flames.
Kwaaaang!
The flame and the light emitted by the seal collided and exploded.
Taking advantage of the explosion, the demons rushed for Yeom Bangyeols neck.
However, amid the acrid smoke, Yeom Bangyeols presence couldnt be detected.
Then, once the demon approached, a light swelled as if it could swallow them whole.
Hwaaaa!
The demons had to retreat, failing to reach Yeom Bangyeol.
Once the smoke cleared and their view was secured, the demons were shocked once more.
The whole hallway was covered in red flames, preventing them from either retreating or continuing their attack.
Though completely surrounded, the demons were yet to give up.
They mustve strengthened the security of the other descendant. We were short-sighted.
There are still the guys who went underground. We have to drag time.
If that side succeeds, we can turn the tables.
But their will was extinguished soon enough.
Staring at them between the blazing red flames, Yeom Bangyeol spoke,
That seal belongs to Iranus of Wrath. I dont see the Gram with you. Is the one who wields it below the ground?
Yeom Bangyeol seemed to know both their identity and purpose.
Shock soon turned into questioning and despair for the demons.
Yeom Bangyeol, moving the flames to capture them, said once again,
Its just as the benefactor predicted.

Underground, in the Red Lion Team Building.
Deep underground, the priest of Iranus of Wrath came for the second target but faced a royal lineage in the form of a young man in his 20s.
He expected a lot of people to be there on guard, but there was only one royal lineage.
Calm down, we have the Gram.
They look relaxed. We can use that gap and use the dragon-slayer weapon.
The demons tried to find a gap between the royal lineage that blocked them.
However, strangely enough, they couldnt find one.
Theres no way a non-dragon would be here, they thought.
My benefactor said that we should put interest here than on the other side. Do you know why?
We?
Is he referring to the Dragon Clan?
And who the hell is my benefactor?
Why is that royal lineage speaking like hes not a dragon?
The longer the royal lineage spoke, the more eerie Iranus of Wraths priest felt.
His instinct was telling him to run away right at that moment.
I get to catch such a mischief like you.
As soon as the man finished speaking, their surroundings became covered in a golden boundary.
Hwanghos magnificent eyes shone golden. Read the most updated version of this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at Novel Multiverse NovelMultiverse dot com
