Secrets hidden underground (3)

It was great heat.

As the flames engulfed him, Roman Dmitry felt the flames sucked in and burned to the core.

'Dangerous.'

Hwareuk.

gurgling.

I was out of breath.

The fire burned so fiercely that the field of vision was far away, and the state of being unstoppable (寒暑不侵) had no effect.

Terrible pain was transmitted from all areas touched by the flames.

Although it can block a certain level of heat and cold, the flames of fire are completely out of the general category.

If it was a treasure that was enough to melt the frozen world tree, he did not think that he would be under his control.

raised mana.

The power from the danjeon circulated inside and pushed out the flames of the fire that were trying to burn the organs.

There was a huge explosion from the inside.

Roman Dmitry's face turned red with each violent clash of mana and fire, and his skin cracked open and blazed in flames.

Just one moment to push.

The situation will be irreversible.

The fire of fire was a type of power that he had never experienced in his previous life.

'The only way to fight the fire that has engulfed me is to embrace it. As if the flames were controlled through the Chloride God. Let's slowly embrace the fire. Even if the heat burns my skin and pushes me into pain, I have to accept the process of becoming one.'

gurgling gurgling.

The fire intensified.

As Roman Dmitry took a breath and embraced the flames, the flames of the fire burned fiercely as if in anger.

He seemed to understand why the Dwarves didn't dare touch it.

The mass, united with the energy of fire, showed a wildness that did not allow any beings that came into contact with it.

The skin melted.

Things that couldn't handle the heat fell to the floor, causing pain beyond imagination.

nevertheless.

Roman Dmitry was not shaken.

Living a life of struggle, suffering was accepted as a daily routine, and the body did not escape the control of the mind under any circumstances.

strong control. It was a strong force even in the flames of fire.

The flames of the fire tried to destroy the mind with extreme pain, but Roman Dmitry's head showed calmness like a ship that was in good health even in the midst of a typhoon.

human stage.

If you have created a body suitable for nature, you have become one with nature through the level of knowledge.

The fire of fire also.

It was part of nature.

Fire was destructive and the most primal power, and Roman Dmitry's intention to assimilate the flames of the fire raged violently and shattered the body.

It was from then.

The skin regenerated at a rate similar to that of the skin melting away.

In the midst of burning in the fire, the body was reconstructed by the metamorphosis of the bones, and the skin melted and regenerated repeatedly.

If you have not reached the stage of knowledge.

The flames of the fire must have burned even his own mind.

It was really quirky.

When he finished preparing to accept the ordeal, a lump of fire magic appeared like fate.

Wasn't it something the person who led him to the Salamander Continent wanted to accept that fire?

If so, what is the ultimate purpose of its existence?

In his life as Roman Dmitry, he has never made a choice against his will, and always will be.

reigning as the apex.

That was it.

As for the problem with the world tree, I took the risk because my interests were entangled with me.

'If the path I take and the purpose my destiny desires are the same. It is not a result of fate, but a life created by my choices. They say that fate led me to a mass of fire. I accepted the pain according to my choice.'

gurgling rumbling.

A fire broke out.

Roman Dmitry gripped the heat violently as if it was about to destroy him.

sure.

The wind rose.

Flames engulfed slightly away from the skin.

Roman Dmitry's skin regenerated rapidly.

Returning to its original form, the flames of the fire could no longer burn Roman Dmitry's body.

That moment.

Roman Dmitry's consciousness fell somewhere beyond the earthly realm.

* * *

Salamander Continent.

The beginning of this world in which people live came from fire.

The Salamander appeared in the world and spewed out a fire that was strong enough to burn everything, and something that was destroyed by that became the foundation of the present continent.

People accepted it as a legend passed down from generation to generation, but the person who first spread it told a truth that he did not know.

A world made of fire.

Roman Dmitry fell in love with the source.

When I opened my eyes, there was a fire that could not be determined in the world that was burning red.

[The one who received the blessing of fire. accept me My heavenly mandate is bound by a solid link with you.]

A voice echoed through the space.

The fire is a fluttering flame, expressing one's own presence.

fire.

It was great power.

Just as Felix showed power enough to burn the world just by summoning the spirit of fire, if he accepts the fire, he will be able to enter a completely different realm than before.

However, Roman Dmitry did not accept the whispers of the devil.

He looked at Hwama, who spoke of a sweet relationship with a thousand words, and showed unwavering eyes.

"I don't care who you are. If you want to join me. Follow my control."

fate and destiny.

Or, words that refer to such an irresistible relationship.

Roman Dmitry overturned a forced relationship.

Hwama told me not to accept myself according to the mandate, but to be part of the control if you want to be with me.

That was the life of Baek Jung-hyuk.

Even when he fell to the coldest bottom, when he was forced to face all kinds of trials just because he was the son of a heavenly demon, he broke the chains of fate and rose to the apex.

always.

He was in control of his life.

The cruel reality may have been driven by fate, but it was only her responsibility to create a single life.

gurgling rumbling.

The flame was distorted.

It was like a bizarre laugh.

[That's a cool answer.]

evil.

Quiet rumble.

There was a huge explosion.

A fire engulfed the world, and Roman Dmitry's existence was also swept away.

Even when the world disappears.

Roman Dmitry's spirit remained intact, and he watched the series of processes in which the fire was absorbed.

opened my eyes

When he got up with a slightly distorted expression, the first thing he saw was the appearance of a brown rock.

" You have been very successful."

brown rock.

He looked shocked.

The Dwarves found a lump of fire that could save the World Tree by chance, but there was no way to touch it, so they rolled their feet.

Beyond the endless mountains.

It was a world that the generation of brown rocks had never experienced firsthand, but their bloodline longed for the world beyond.

And at the thought of finally being able to save the world tree, he couldn't hide his overflowing emotions.

tuk.

"Take it."

Roman Dmitry handed me something.

lump of fire.

It was a crystal of it.

It was a small reddish marble, and it contained a burning fire enough to give warmth just by touching it.

The Dwarf, who had received the crystal of fire, trembled with his hands.

In fact, I thought that the other party might be greedy for the treasure, but Roman Dmitry kept his promise.

the human race.

I didn't like it.

The experiences that our ancestors have told us from generation to generation tell us how disgusting human greed is.

But.

Roman Dmitry was different.

The brown rock leading the dwarves remembered the grace he had received.

"While Roman Dmitry-sama was fighting the flames of fire. I had several conversations with the people of Dmitry. I've heard that Dmitry is a blessed city that specializes in blacksmithing. In return for this work, regardless of the request Roman Dmitry-sama is asking for, our Dwarf clan will dedicate ourselves to the Dmitry family in the future. We will pass on the skills of the blacksmith for the development of the blacksmiths, and we will build a strong wall so that no one can invade Dmitry. If necessary, we will also prepare weapons to arm the soldiers."

His voice trembled.

Even though I expressed my gratitude, not all of my gratitude was conveyed.

"Sometimes the elves who come to me have said this to me. The cold wave in Arcadia is getting worse day by day, and now the life force of the World Tree has reached its limit. We were on the verge of losing our homeland completely. Without Roman Dmitry-sama's help, I might have given up."

I cried.

lived only underground.

The ancestors said that the dwarves had their home on a wide expanse of land, but the brown rocks never experienced the warmth of their hometown.

Roman Dmitry.

I didn't know him well.

But just the fact that it gave me hope.

Brown Rock did not accept Roman Dmitry as a passing relationship.

Roman Dmitry said.

"That is enough. Dmitry will no longer be hostile to you."

reason to trust.

Reasons not to be hostile.

The brown stone's eyes were sufficient grounds.

The case was settled.

The development of new iron mines was halted, but the blacksmiths responded enthusiastically to the cooperative relationship with the dwarves.

Dwarf skill.

Isn't it the blacksmith's dream to learn it?

that day.

Roman Dmitry stood alone in the gymnasium.

When he raised his sword to arouse an aura, the energy of the flames mixed and sparked.

'The flames of fire have settled in my danjeon.'

A world beyond consciousness.

The existence of the fire horse was real.

The series of processes of accepting it became a reality, and Roman Dmitry felt intense heat burning in the danjeon.

The crystals given to the brown rock were only a fraction.

However, since the brown rock achieved its purpose by itself, there was no need to tell us about the existence of the fire horses in Danjeon.

at will.

The fire roared.

Unlike magic, it was a purely fire-handling power.

'It is necessary to think about the future use of hwama.

What is certain is that this incident has made me physically progress by leaps and bounds.

Reconstruction of the body from the fire must have been the main thing.'

entered the stage of knowledge.

However, due to unintentional Giyeon, I was able to quickly raise the level of Ji at once.

It was a growth that was overwhelming compared to the previous life.

It took Baek Jung-hyuk in his previous life a considerable amount of time to reach the current Roman Dmitry status, but in his current life, his growth time has been shortened to a shocking extent.

I needed to check my own strength.

In order to defeat the opponents in the future, it was a priority to first understand their limitations.

And, up to the flames of this fire.

Even after experiencing a series of situations, Roman Dmitry went to a workshop where people were not allowed to go, not to rest.

For the closing practice, he disappeared into the dark.

Hans headed to the workshop where Roman Dmitry was staying.

'He said it's okay to come back after a month.'

a few days ago.

There was a visitor looking for Roman Dmitry.

I told him to come later because he had entered the closing practice, but the customer's will was so stubborn that several days had already passed since he stayed at Dmitry.

When you have to call Roman Dmitry for him.

When we arrived at the workshop following the familiar road, we found Roman Dmitry who had already opened the door.

young master. Did you finish your training well?"

"Thanks to you, I was able to focus on my training. Were there any special problems while I was away?"

"There was a visitor looking for the master. Please change your seat at once. You have been waiting for the master for several days already."

the word guest.

It had a strange nuance.

Hans' reaction meant a new face, not a familiar figure.

So we arrived at the reception room.

The impatiently waiting figure stood up with a bright face as soon as Roman Dmitry entered.

"It's really nice to see you. My name is Earl London of Redford."

Count Rondon.

A first-class assassination target as seen in Écorchet's assassination list.

He was the guest who visited Roman Dmitry.

and that time.

Hans, who went to clean up the workshop, opened his mouth wide at the charred workshop.

A sight that cannot be explained by the flames of the fire pit.

What the hell was going on here, he couldn't readily comprehend.
