Chapter 293 Back To Korea

Chapter 293 Back To Korea

Mok Jun-Seo and some other guides from the airport came together to the point he had reached with Raith yesterday. After Raith did not make it back to the airport, he got worried and eventually had to go looking for Raith.

But he didn't expect what he met.

"Hunter Raven?"

He was shocked.

Raith was seated with two supernatural beauties with a pile of runestones in between all of them.

What is this situation? Mok Jun-Seo saw no sense in what he was seeing, first, he questioned how there could be any survivors in this environment. Then his mind led him to one possibility.

It is possible that they were monsters. However, monsters who are able to transform into human body means that the monster would be very strong. He had met a lot of monsters but he still thought these two were stronger than all of them combined.

Mok Jun-Seo had never doubted Raith's incredible strength but if these two were stronger than all the boss monsters he had met, Raith couldn't defeat both of them.

Another thing that bothered him was that, even if Raith did defeat them, he wasn't a tamer, they would forever remain hostile to him even after he had defeated them.

Hence what was the true explanation of this scenery?

"This is Maria."

Maria waved her hand happily.

"And this is Slyvia."

She shrugged and didn't bother looking their way.

Mok Jun-Seo looked very confused, Maria's long pointed ears, Slyvia's horn. He exchanged glances between the two females and looked at Raith. His gaze begged for an explanation.

"Slyvia is an ice dragon and Maria is the tree spirit of that tree over there."

Now that the day was cool, and with few clouds, the colossal tree tugging into the sky could be seen clearly.

'A tree spirit, a dragon...'

These were all terms Mok Jun-Seo only heard of. To be particular, the only thing he had heard of was a dragon. There was a time when a dragon gate emerged, it was just a single dragon and over a hundred S-rank hunters were lost, it was one of the greatest calamities that had befallen the earth.

"A dragon?..." He muttered again, unable to wrap the idea in his head.

This Caucasian-looking girl was a dragon.

Slyvia angrily turned her gaze to his eyes causing him to flinch and take his eyes off her. For a moment he felt like he was going to die had he not done that. n(-0vElbIn

He cleared his throat and began to speak:

"Hunter Raven, there is a need for us to return to Korea."

"Did something happen?" Raith inquired raising his head while crushing one of the stones on the ground.

He had been at it all night, he had gained and deleted several skills but he was still not near his goal. But he was close.

He wanted to get it done before he left but Mok Jun-Seo was sounding like there was an emergency.

"Yes, this concerns the people..."

"What is it about them?" Raith asked without looking at him. He focused on the stones, picking another one after throwing away the crumbles of the one he just absorbed. The runeletter on the stone disappeared immediately after they were broken.

"The awakening rate has skyrocketed... Mok Jae-Hwa said he can't keep things under control anymore."

"That guy... what a prick."

'He's my son...' Mok Jun-Seo wanted to say that but he reconsidered his choice, he didn't want to say anything awkward so he just let it slide. Even he did not realize... he was beginning to fear Raith.

"I guess we have to go then," Raith said and stood up.

"Lord?" Maria wore a sorrowful expression, her head tilted in confusion. She knew he'd have to leave someday but not so soon.

"I will be back..." Raith assured her.

She wished she could go with him but it was impossible, a dryad was bound to their tree. She can't go halfway around the world, she would automatically teleport back to where she ought to be.

"I am going with you."

Slyvia's declaration put her into an intense state of fear.

"Slyvia, you are going too? You are going to leave your chamber?"

"Yes, I'm going to leave my chamber" Slyvia responded with a harsh tone.

"Stop that, She is going to be here all alone, the least you can do is be nice to her. And who said I will take you with me."

"I am your tutor now, you have to do what I say." She replied to him with a stern look.

"Tutor?"

"I will be teaching you everything there is to know about magic and preparing you for your confrontation with Nyx."

Raith remembered the agreement he had with her and stayed silent even though he wanted to fight for his master's right over her.

'Once, I get a hang of this rulership thing. I'm sure I'll do better'

He patted Maria's head.

"I know you've been alone here for a long time. But don't worry, that will change. Give me a few days, I'll be right back and I'll bring an entire settlement with me. I can also bring the human goodies if you want."

Maria vigorously nodded her head, signaling to Raith how happy she'd be if he could do that.

"Then, see you later," Raith said, patting her head one last time before walking to Mok Jun-Seo and the other two guides.

"Make sure you watch the monsters and not allow them to reach my castle."

Maria pouted and swung her face away, folding her arms as the dragon talked.

Slyvia wanted to yank her face but she had to quickly meet up with Raith who was walking away. She didn't trust him, he might go without her. She ignored the grumpy tree spirit and ran after Raith.

—

The ride back to Korea was as long as it was coming to Antarctica, and with an extra, annoying passenger, things were awfully irritating than when they were coming.

However, the most amazing thing Raith was at least intrigued to see was the fact that Min-Ho and Slyvia got along so well. It was like watching his brother get along with his daughter.

At first, he displaced the thought of a thousand-year-old dragon being his daughter but the more he looked at them the more the situation seemed to ingrain itself in his head, she looked like his daughter. Not that he had any before he just couldn't help but perceive her as his daughter.

"Slyvia..."

"What?"

She replied with a grumpy tone.

He wanted to smack her on the head for her tone but he contained himself.

"Isn't there a way to hide your horns?"

"Why?"

Still, with a grumpy tone, she asked. The plane finally landed.

"I think what hyungnim means is that to hide unnecessary attention from yourself and preserve your beauty in a hidden form, you could try to hide your horns. Humanity can be quite nosy." Min-Ho intercepted, winking at Raith.

"Oh, ah, I see you... You this human you explain things so well and you know how to talk to an elder. I like you." She said patting Min-Ho's shoulder.

She gave the same compliment every time Min-Ho sucked up to her, sometimes she would even ask Raith to learn from him.

She touched her head and the horn vanished like it was never there, all that was being seen was a beautiful snow white. Her clothes were changed from the ancient robe she was putting on to a casual outfit.

It was thanks to Min-Ho's manner of speaking that she accepted to change, if not Raith would have had to deal with another hassle.

Their journey through the airport was nothing short of a big headache for the three of them.

No one could put a stop to how much she wanted. She pointed at everything, ran at everything, and was amazed by everything.

Everything she saw intrigued her, even the building itself.

"Hmph! What a magnificent structure. Human! Buy this for me, I want to live in it."

"Even if I have all the money in the world, it is impossible to buy you Incheon airport, you idiot."

Her brows furrowed, "Did you just call me a vile name?"

Raith looked away, he had said that part with a low voice so that she wouldn't hear but her ears were too damn sharp.

"A glamorous home is waiting for us. You are going to love it there ma'am" Mok Jun-Seo said, with an extremely nice tone. Even he was being careful of pissing off the dragon lady.

She glared at them for a moment and then finally decided to go with them.

Right that instant, Mok Jae-Hwa reached the airport with Min-Ho's Mercedes.

Slyvia's eyes went around as a man in a navy blue suit came out of the car, his slick back hair and blue eyes were almost drawing her in like the ocean.

Even as Mok Jae-Hwa drew nigh, she stood frozen, her mouth agape.

"Father, Raven... Min-Ho? I have been wondering where you disappeared to."

He didn't expect that Min-Ho would go with them, he felt the guy wouldn't be able to take the harsh climate, However, Min-Ho's intermittent sneezes confirmed his suspicions.

His eyes went to the snow-white lady standing beside Min-Ho, gazing at him with her eyes opened.

He looked at Raith who also looked at Slyvia.

'No way... don't tell me she has a crush on this prick...'

"Hello...?"

Mok Jae-Hwa stretched forth his hand to greet her but her wide round face suddenly creased to a frown, causing Mok Jae-Hwa to hesitate.

"You have the blessing of a dragon? How come?"
