Chapter 76: Bridgehead

Chapter 76: Bridgehead"YongYong. Are you following well?"

"Yes, Hyung-nim! The dismantling work is almost done! I will catch up soon."

"Well done."

As expected, he's quite useful.

Is a dragon truly a dragon after all?

Very, very excellent.

YongYong was using magic tailored to each Kaiju's attributes to collect byproducts.

Slash slash-

Swiftly swiftly-

Cutting, extracting, burning, roasting.

Freezing, cooling, spreading, picking up.

After doing it a few times, he seemed to have gotten the hang of it, repeatedly dismantling and looting according to the characteristics of the byproducts.

Karlstein smiled with satisfaction as he watched YongYong.

Magic is quite convenient, isn't it?

To think he could create a Subspace, though not infinite, and put items in it.

Of course, the Galactic Empire had such technology too, but it was only used for military purposes and couldn't be used as easily and conveniently as this.

We can increase the speed a bit more, then.

"Now, let's move on to another place..."

Just as Karlstein was retrieving his spear from the body of a fallen Kaiju...

Boom boom boom-

Crack-

Kuwoong-

Kuaaaa-

Three giant rock Kaiju, nearly 10 meters tall, approached, toppling giant trees.

However, there was no way he would be nervous about this.

Rather, he was thinking of something else as he tilted his head.

"Hmm. Should we collect the trees too?"

This 'World' was completely different from ordinary dimensions.

Everything from the density of the air, gravity, to the earth and vegetation was different.

Tough, stubborn, hard, and sturdy.

So much so that one would want to research how it was created.

Rather, Karlstein was satisfied with such aspects.

It felt like traveling as an ordinary adventurer, you could say?

"The byproducts are certainly extraordinary."

The lab would be pleased if I threw these at them.

Although he could only do a simple analysis, he could clearly sense the tremendous Ether reaction. Moreover, the reactivity towards the Astral side was also excellent.

If we make equipment with materials like these, it would be revolutionary for Dimensional Transmission.

Currently, it required massive amounts of Ether to send intact equipment. Or it was impossible to send at all.

That was also the reason why he couldn't access with his main body.

He had tried a few times, but Selena, the Succubus Queen, couldn't handle it.

She begged for her life, saying it was impossible to connect.

Well. I understand.

Even I think my main body is a special physical form.

After all, it's a body related to a Single Number.

"Hup."

The lightly thrown metal spear pierces through two of them simultaneously.

Soon after, another spear he thrust out burst the body of the remaining one.

Kueeek-

Kuaaak-

The three rock Kaiju stop moving after struggling.

"Hyaaah! How should we dismantle these ones?"

"Just take a few as samples."

"Ah, no! I will try to do it first!"

YongYong, who appeared from behind, started to work on the rock Kaiju, moving swiftly.

As Karlstein extended his hand, the metal spears stuck in them floated and returned to him.

Chajak. Chak. Chak.

They quietly entered the spear sheath floating behind Karlstein's back.

Kaiju corpses scattered messily.

Countless corpses were strewn on the ground along the path he had moved.

"It's certainly a waste."

"I will try to salvage as much as I can!"

Karlstein stroked his chin while examining the remains of the rock Kaiju.

I'd need to investigate accurately, but it seems similar in nature to those beings that were spraying Silver Blood back then.

Since the research level regarding the Astral Dimension was low, the more research materials, the better.

"Aria will like this."

"Pardon?"

"Nothing. Haha."

Let's proceed with analysis and processing later.

What's certain is...

This 'World' was definitely not created by Selena's power alone. Although he had supported her with 1 trillion Karma Points, this place far exceeded that scale.

It's certain that there was some external influence.

It was even used in creating the current body.

Even if it was not used for Dimensional Travel, its applications were endless.

When used together with Ether, its efficiency increases, making it no different from a top-grade material.

What an unexpected bonanza, huh?

"Hey... this is a jackpot. YongYong, try digging here a bit."

"Huh?"

No wait, Hyung-nim. Even magic doesn't work well on the terrain here.

And yet, are you seriously asking me, a Red Dragon, to dig the ground?

"Clear some trees around here too."

ᄂah, dragons are exceptionally good at digging!

ᄂYongYong, go bring some water.

ᄂour YongYongie is so good at chores.

ᄂYongYongie? More like Choonsikie1, no? LOL

ᄂyour name is Choonsik from now on. pparently that’s what you are now LMAO

ᄂChoonsik, what are you doing! Move faster!

ᄂLOLOLOLOL

ᄂwhat are you doing? Hyung-nim is waiting!

Wait, Hyung-nim. Please. There are people watching...

Of course, he had received permission from his Hyung-nim. He said it was okay to turn on the broadcast when connected.

But maybe I should have turned off the broadcast if I knew it would be like this?

This is so embarrassing.

However.

"Oh my, Hyung-nim! I was just about to start digging!"

"YongYongie, who listens to Hyung-nim's words so well! I shall charge forth!"

He doesn't have even the slightest thought of talking back.

"Aren't I a human excavator after all!"

YongYong, who had even abandoned his own identity.

In fact, YongYong was just a nickname used in the community, and he had a cooler name, but he had long forgotten it!

The moment he called him 'YongYongie', his name was already YongYongie.

"Th-Then can I return to my original body?"

"Ah, right. You said you were a dragon, didn't you?"

"Huh? Yes..."

"No, wait. Step aside for a moment."

Heuup-

Karlstein took out a short spear from his spear sheath and took a stance.

More sharply.

More narrowly.

More deeply.

Kuguung- Bang!

A sound like a bomb exploding was heard.

When the dust settled.

Swoosh-

A hole dug deeply like a sinkhole.

And it was done so easily and deeply.

W-Wait... But even magic didn't work that well here... How?

As YongYong was about to express his bewilderment.

Pushuut-

Swoosh-

Silver liquid burst out like a fountain, incomparable to a mere puddle.

"Oh, what is thi-"

YongYong stopped mid-sentence and stepped back in surprise.

Uwak! What the?

He was startled by the overwhelming aura emanating from Him.

As YongYong hurriedly stepped back to observe him, he could see an expression he had never seen before.

A familiar expression he had often seen in the world YongYong came from.

Gr-Greed?!

"Ah, this can't be done carelessly."

"Huh?"

...C-Carelessly, you say?

"We should properly settle down here. YongYong!"

"Y-Yes, yes! Hyung-nim!"

"Can you help me a bit?"

"Aiyo, of course, that goes without saying!"

"Let's prepare the ground a bit before support arrives."

"Yessir!"

What kind of support could it be?

Where is this place?

What is the Oradge plotting now?

YongYong's questions only deepened.

However, one thing was certain - he was looking forward to it.

1. Choonsik is a character used in Kakao. A kind of mascot.
