Chapter 186: Black Flame Dragon Emperor (6)

Chapter 186: Black Flame Dragon Emperor (6)

Stars twinkled in the black world.

The sight reminded me of something.

‘No, it can’t be.’

The thought was so absurd that I shook my head to dispel it.

-What’s the matter?

“No, I just found it fascinating to see the universe.”

-Is that so?

The Black Flame Dragon said this and began to move.

Inside the moon.

The Black Flame Dragon took me inside the moon. Its nest was inside a massive crater.

‘I never imagined the moon would be the Black Flame Dragon’s nest.’

I groaned.

Now I understood why the Black Flame Dragon had appeared when the moon shattered in the late stages.

Flap.

The Black Flame Dragon spread its wings slightly and entered.

“Gasp, the Black Flame Dragon has arrived! Everyone, stop working and pay your respects!”

A delicate voice was heard.

I turned my gaze and saw beast people. Not furries, but people with only ears and tails. The problem was that they all had the characteristics of rabbits, the Moon Tribe.

‘Moon Tribe?’

They approached, hopping. Upon closer inspection, they were all holding tools. Perhaps it was a preference. They were dressed similarly to the maid outfits worn by the Black Flame Dragon, though a bit more classic.

““Welcome, master!””

The Black Flame Dragon nodded once and went inside.

-There is another dragon ahead.

“...Another dragon?”

-Yes.

Thump.

My heart began to race again. The dragon blood sleeping within me recognized the other dragon.

-As expected, you are exceptional. It’s not easy to perceive the Void Dragon.

“Is the Void Dragon inside?”

-Yes.

I looked inside with a tense expression. The Void Dragon was literally a dragon without a physical form.

It penetrated and refracted everything.

Interfering with the flow of space and time, the moment it attacked, no one could perceive it.

Known as the Invisible Dragon in America, it specialized in ambushes.

‘Terrifying.’

In a battle of transcendents, it could always strike first and had the ability to block counterattacks. It excels in both offense and defense by interfering with the flow of space and time, but the most troublesome part was that it could not be seen or felt.

Could I really see it?

I activated my Divine Sight and looked inside, where the Black Flame Dragon had stopped.

-From here, we have to walk.

“Understood.”

I lightly jumped off the Black Flame Dragon’s head and walked. The Black Flame Dragon also transformed into a human. Just like when I first saw her, she was dressed in a maid outfit. The difference was that it was a French-style short mini skirt and sleeveless.

“By the way, what should I call you?”

“Please call me by my name.”

“Alright. From now on, I’ll call you Seo-ha.”

The Black Flame Dragon led me inside.

“By the way, do dragons keep in touch with each other?”

“Some do, some don’t. The Void Dragon and I have been close due to our connection in the abyss. The Fire Dragon has a bad temper, so no one knows him. The Ghost Dragon is gloomy and lives alone. The Holy Light Dragon is full of himself but gets along well with the Rainbow Dragon.”

While chatting, we reached the center of the cavern.

I looked at the door. A modern handle door. Nothing seemed strange. However, I could see all sorts of magic cast upon it.

‘Impressive.’

Divine Sight saw the color of magic.

The denser it was, the greater its intensity. This door’s magic level was similar to the Emperor’s third star.

Creak.

The door opened on its own. The interior scene was visible. Comic books scattered messily, snack bags lying around. Yet, there was no unpleasant smell. Only a fragrant scent filled the air.

In the center of it.

There was a woman with long, white hair. A woman wearing a long, oversized t-shirt and dolphin shorts.

The woman’s expression seemed lazy just by looking at her. Yet, I could feel her inherent power.

“...?”

The woman’s lazy expression disappeared.

“What’s this, a child of the tribe? Where did you kidnap them from?”

“I brought them because they were living in human society. They seemed to have been born with broken laws, unable to inherit the language or breath of the tribe.”

“What? Is that even possible?”

The woman approached, flustered.

“Introduce yourself first. What a disgrace in front of the child.”

This was really hard to get used to. Even though I wanted to say that treating me like a child was inappropriate given my age, I kept quiet because the age difference was actually a few thousand years.

After that, every time the Ghost Dragon looked at me, their face turned red, which was a bit suspicious.

“You’ve really settled in well now.”

“Thanks to you.”

“It’s nothing. The Void Dragon did all the hard work.”

A man with hair shining in seven colors smiled warmly. It was the Rainbow Dragon, Gwan Cheol-soo.

“By the way, are you already planning to return to human society?”

“I have things to do.”

“It’s both a pity and admirable that you’re attached to humans. Any other dragon would have mistaken kindness for a right and become insufferable, but you’re a pleasure to give things to.”

“Enough. It’s time to go down.”

“It’s a reunion of the male dragons. You’ve been the only guy, so it’s good to have you around. If you need anything, just ask.”

A woman with golden shimmering hair, Seong Gwang-ryong, winked as she spoke.

“It was fun these two weeks. Oh, and if anyone bullies you, call us anytime. Remember the dragon language?”

“...Yes.”

I still remembered.

Eun Yu-ha said it was a buster call to use in emergencies, a technique that could annihilate any force at once.

‘It’s true.’

She said no matter what happened, at least three dragons would gather.

“What, kid? Are you leaving now?”

The Fire Dragon, with her short flaming hair, spoke.

She looked like a delinquent girl, wearing a black sleeveless leather jacket and hot pants.

“Are you sad? Why are your eyes teary?”

“What nonsense! Why would I, the Red Dragon, be sad just because a kid is leaving! It’s just a bit lonely.”

“I agree. Seo-ha is still a baby. He should stay with us.”

A neatly dressed woman in all black spoke. It was the Ghost Dragon, Han Sook-ja.

“Everyone is talking nonsense. Our Seo-ha, born as a demon dragon, is a proper adult. Didn’t you see him this past month? Seo-ha is a great kid. Now go and annihilate humanity with your own hands.”

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

“Alright, I know it’s sad, but it’s time to go.”

The Rainbow Dragon, Gwan Cheol-soo, wrapped up the situation.

“Can we all go down together?”

“Of course. Kid, if anyone messes with you, show them what happens.”

The Fire Dragon, Ryu Saet-byul, smirked.

“Then let’s go down.”

“It’s already been a month.”

“The Demon Dragon incident was huge. But the result was ridiculously anticlimactic.”

The association staff were chatting.

At that time, it seemed like Korea might really be destroyed. The appearance of the Black Flame Dragon was that terrifying.

But a boy persuaded the Black Flame Dragon.

He was a noble boy. He stood alone to protect North Korea. While other heroes were gathering strength and planning strategies, he prioritized civilians.

It remained a good story.

Some heroes called him the hero among heroes, and there was talk that the title of savior should have gone to him.

The staff were chatting in front of the “Star Meter.”

“Star Meter.”

It was the association’s proud magic meter. It detected threats to Korea and eliminated them. The Black Flame Dragon was detected by the “Star Meter,” allowing the association to urgently gather guilds.

“By the way, wasn’t the Black Flame Dragon incredible? With a magic capacity of 100,000 Tetras, it soared beyond 1 billion Tetras, causing a complete emergency.”

“It’s not just any dragon species. Oh? Didn’t America launch a space station today?”

At someone’s words, eyes turned to the “Star Meter.”

The “Star Meter” was glowing. It was a sign that something was coming.

“Magic reaction detected in the atmosphere! The numbers are incredible. 1 million Tetras, 10 million Tetras... wait, it’s still rising? 5, 50 billion Tetras?”

“What nonsense are you talking about! Are dragons swarming in? What?! The “Star Meter” exploded?”

“It seems to have temporarily malfunctioned! The last recorded magic level was over 80 billion Tetras....”

“What on earth....”

The team leader stared blankly at the “Star Meter.”

Meanwhile, in Seoul.

Citizens stared blankly at the sky.

There were dragons in the sky.

The enormous red body of the Fire Dragon.

The shadow forming the shape of a dragon, the Ghost Dragon.

The Void Dragon showed its form without using the power of refraction, boasting silver scales.

The Black Flame Dragon, with scales shrouded in black flames.

The Holy Light Dragon, forming the shape of a dragon with light.

And the Rainbow Dragon, shining in seven colors.

In the center, a human form with black scales descended.

“Too flashy.”

It was Lee Seo-ha.
