Chapter 248: Something Happened (1)
[Class Quest: Fruit of Good and Evil]
On the brink of extinction, the World Tree bore fruit to sow seeds.
However, contrary to the will of the World Tree, the fruit was divided into good and evil, not coexisting. The last demon hunter. Only you could find the sinner who separated good from evil.
Train your weakened body. (Repeat)
Enter Sisley, the land of the elves. (In Progress)
A class quest appeared for the first time in a while.
Looking at the contents.
I nod my head automatically.
If there is light, there is also a shadow.
There couldnt be only good in the world.
It was natural that evil existed.
The World Tree, which was called the mother of Arcana, must have known this well.
Thats why the Fruit of Good and Evil was created.
The fruit of the World Tree, the Fruit of Good and Evil.
When put into context, what the fruit of the World Tree contained was the seed of the World Tree. However, the problem started when the Fruit of Good and Evil came to fruition differently than the World Tree intended.
Now, lets go back to the memories of the [Predators Swamp].
When the seeds of the World Tree sprouted.
I couldnt feel a hint of malice.
I only felt warmth.
That warmth must have been good.
[World Quest: Seed of the World Tree]
Perhaps all the seeds specified in the World Quest contained good.
Did I have a reason to be so certain?
I did, and it was right in front of me.
I must have swallowed Mothers fruit.
Unfortunately.
The dragons must have swallowed the evil fruit that only had malice left in it.
In that regard, the unknown demon was truly vicious.
If they had obeyed it.
Up until the moment the dragons, including Eunaxus, close their eyes.
They wouldnt have known the truth.
To sprout its body with nutrients.
They would have died without knowing that it was the seed of evil.
Its not for no reason that Grandfel doesnt talk with prey.
As expected, the demons were not someone you should converse with.
By the way, who was it?
The big demon who tried to cause strife between the World Tree and the dragons.
First of all, the place the quest goal pointed to was Sisley, the land of the elves where the first World Tree took root. As if the Dragon Temple wasnt bad enough, now I had to go to the land of the elves.
At least in this place, I have a reliable ally like Eunaxus.
Among the elves, the only one on my side was
Only Elsidore, who was cultivating the bi-herb medicine garden in the Yusra Kingdom. But, if I was lucky, I could bring up the Hierarchy of Blessing to the elves.
In the end, I have no choice but to solve it one by one.
A demon hunters sense of smell.
World Trees family tree.
Finally
Claudies halo.
I had no choice but to make the most of what I could use.
Like I had always done so far.
So I should also solve the dragons questions.
I said straight to the point.
Unfortunately. Youve been fooled.
What do you mean?
What you swallowed is not the true seed of the World Tree.
I kindly told them the story about the Fruit of Good and Evil.
Contrary to the will of the World Tree.
There was nothing but evil left in the fruit they swallowed.
Therefore.
You dont have to die.
!!!
Not only that.
They didnt have to cower so much.
It was unbefitting of the title the king of all things.
You may glide across the sky as you wish.
Currently, the demons who wouldnt understand their place were running wild in the Arcana Continent.
If the dragons stepped forward, wouldnt they naturally be self-disciplined? Seeing dozens of dragons flying in the sky all at once, no matter how inferior the demons were, they would automatically instill manners in themselves, right?
You may howl as much as you wish.
It would be even better if the dragons spat out fear from time to time.
Of course, the Arcanians would be surprised as well.
But they would be happy.
Even if the dragons in legends were feared.
They were not as bad as the demons.
Thanks to that, Ill be able to work less.
Although it was said in a snobbish way.
Wait a minute
Why are you guys reacting like that?
Including Eunaxus.
Everyone was teary-eyed
No way, was it because they were shocked?
Was it because the Fruit of Good and Evil they struggled to swallow was fake?
Just as I was freaking out inside.
I heard an ominous voice.
Have you finally realized it?
There was a reason why I called that husky voice ominous.
It was a familiar voice.
It was the voice of Kudhanax, the one who gave me the nickname Dark Dragon.
That dragon was definitely going to do something!
Why couldnt my ominous feeling turn out to be wrong?
Kudhanax continued.
Whether its in the past or the present, Claudie is the only one who cares about us! Look. Only the Dark Dragon watched, understood, and accepted our feelings!
Just when I decided to accept Claudies brilliant halo, endure it, and use it.
Lets just say its undeservedly gracious.
However.
Cant we put an end to the title Dark Dragon?
Of course, there was no way my heartache could be conveyed.
As if he didnt want to lose, Eunaxus opened his mouth.
All dragons. We owe another favor to Lee Hoyeol Claudie. How can we repay this immeasurable debt, my kins?
From Dark Dragon to Claudie Lee Hoyeol!
This is a total crisis
I felt like my soul was sucked out of me just by listening to it.
His voice was so loud.
I was really afraid that someone would overhear it.
But the dragons were extremely serious.
Nobody ever said that to us before.
We dont have to die.
We can act as we wish.
The dragons were no longer bowing their heads because of the oath.
Voluntarily.
They truly bowed their head to me out of their own will.
How did I know that?
All dragons will follow Claudie.
Because at the same time as Eunaxus declared that.
In front of my eyes.
I got a message.
[You have the command of all dragons, the kings of all things.]
[Elder Dragon, Eunaxus, and 21 other dragons]
[Current status: Waiting for command]
The strongest force of Arcana, the dragons.
I recruited them as an ally.
I couldnt just be happy about it.
If we go back to the Zero Mountain, back to Earth.
Lee Hoyeol Claudie.
What if they called me with that weird name.
What if they mentioned the titled Dark Dragon?
I wont have the confidence to walk around with my face up.
There was no way the dragons would understand my agony.
At times like this, those eyes full of loyalty were so burdensome
I shifted my gaze and looked at the message.
[Current status: Waiting for command]
Those eyes were really asking me to give them a command.
But, I am slowly reaching my limit.
It was not because of my rising shame.
It was because of the manifestation of [Absolute Zero] that I had prepared to die for.
The elixir raised the cold attribute affinity. Not only that, I had a life force regeneration speed that surpassed that of humans thanks to the [Blessing of the First World Tree].
[Warning: Your vitality is too low.]
As expected, there was no turning back.
Senios magic!
How the hell did he put up with this?
Damn it.
If only he had shown even the slightest hint of pain when he closed his eyes.
I would have looked for a slightly different way.
I respect you. Really.
And as if he didnt want to lose.
Grandfel didnt show any pain until the end.
Youre amazing, too.
I spoke to Eunaxus.
Ill ask you before I make an order, Eunaxus.
Just ask me.
Can you survive?
Just as I was dying.
Eunaxus dragon heart, which was running in vivace, was also gradually stopping. It was a wound that could not be healed by the weak old dragons recovery power or my own oddity.
However.
What if dozens of dragons joined forces?
I looked at the dragons behind Eunaxus.
Goo
A huge energy was radiating from the bodies of the dragons.
It was not just magic.
Beyond the knowledge I had as a human being.
A unique energy was radiating from the Dragon Heart.
Eunaxus eyes widened.
Why do you give me the energy of eternal life?
Why?
Everyone must be reflecting on themselves.
They were sharing their eternal blessings to Eunaxus as a sign of their reflection. That included Prosnax, who had belatedly crawled into the Dragon Temple.
Dont think about refusing it.
Even if I had acquired the right to command.
How could I lead dozens of dragons on my own.!
Even if they had now become quiet because they were moved by Grandfels way of speaking.
Maybe they would change their mind later.
You're a different person before and after you come out of the bathroom.[1]Youre a different person before and after you come out of the bathroom = Once your urgent business is done, your attitude immediately changes.
I didnt just say this for no reason.
I added to Eunaxus.
Live, Eunaxus.
!
Being a living legend is not bad, is it?
There was a reason why the saying Even if your life is full of shit, at least youre still alive existed.
Of course, at this moment.
I couldnt agree with that.
Id rather die!
Thanks to the blessing, my vitality strengthened.
I felt such intense pain that I felt like it would be better to die.
This is more painful than when I opened the circle.
I never thought there was a greater pain than when I swallowed the elixir and fainted at the same time. Right now, even just standing up was difficult. Yeah, lets quickly find a place to settle down.
By the way, until the moment of death, this guy still lived by style and died by style.
The scenery isnt bad.
After saying that, I learned against the pillar of the temple.
My body was slowly freezing starting from the heart.
White breath came out of my mouth.
I talked calmly.
Its so beautiful I can enjoy my tea.
What I took out was a green tea tea bag.
But it was not for cold brew.
Even if I would leave, a cup of warm green tea should be fine, right?
More importantly.
Because I felt so cold.
My judgment was bad.
Eunaxus, may I ask for some tea?
Thanks to that, I didnt realize it until I said that.
Oh, goodness!
To ask a dragon to heat up tea water.
I must be the only one who ever did that in the history of Arcana.
I will obey your orders.
Seriously.
I couldnt believe I just brewed a green tea bag in the tea water heated by his breath.
I would be the only one who committed such atrocities not only in history but also in the future.
Even so.
Well, it wasnt bad, right?
I entered the Arcana Continent for the first time in a long time.
As long as the effect [The Last Adventurer] existed.
I promised myself that even if I died, I should die properly.
Isnt this a pretty good life?
From my life that flashed by before my eyes.
I looked back on the results of this entry.
First of all, up until I ran into Eunaxus.
Thanks to hunting demons, I raised 1 level.
It was actually a smaller number than expected.
I thought they would attack in groups.
Considering the death penalty, it was a disappointing number.
But the level wasnt important.
Above all, I resolved the misunderstanding between the World Tree and the dragons.
How should I say, I feel proud in lifting up this dysfunctional family.
Eunaxuss body, too.
It was also fortunate that the honor of the Elder Dragon had been restored.
On top of that.
I cant pretend not to know.
Claudie was materialized in the Arcana continent.
I also realized the setting of Claudie.
In short, what would pass had come to pass.
So lets just be thankful for this entry.
I dont know what kind of halo Ill be surprised by next time.
Clink
Thinking like that, I picked up the teacup.
The warmth came from the teacup.
Dam it, I didnt even have the energy to tip my teacup.
In the end, I was in growing pain.
Once again.
I missed the teacup
Clank!
With a sound that pierced my ears.
I heard the urgent voices of the dragons.
Well
[You are dead.]
[Death penalty will be applied.]
[The experience level youve acquired will decrease.]
[Title, The Last Adventurer effect is activated.]
[Immediately returns to reality.]
It was not something to be surprised about.
.
.
.
Sk
When I slowly opened my eyes, I found myself on the top floor of the Mage Tower.
In the end, I came back without being able to drink a cup of green tea.
Back to reality.
Tuktuk
I casually brushed off my frosted jacket.
First of all, it looked better than when it was covered in blood.
Thanks to that, I might be able to pretend nothing happened.
Why was I thinking about pretending nothing happened, you asked?
Well, wasnt that obvious?
Im afraid.
No, I was embarrassed.
About my actions on the Arcana Continent!
But such a wish soon became meaningless.
I had a bad feeling.
Why was it so quiet?
It was too quiet.
There was no sign of movement in the tower.
I wondered if it was late at night after all the work was done.
I checked the time
What?
Never mind the time, whats up with the date?!
The month changed?
It had been 15 days since I entered?!
15 days?
Yeah, well, I could understand that.
I just came back from a mess in places like the Dragon Temple and Absolute Zero, where my sense of time was not perfect. But there was a separate reason why I was surprised.
A disaster notification message had just arrived.
Dragons appear all over the Earth
At the same time.
Breaking through the Mage Towers barrier.
A thunderous howl was heard.
It was a sad Dragon Fear that seemed to have engulfed grief.
I came to my senses.
Could it be that they thought I was dead and did that?
Did they fly through the dimension at that moment?
Did the Mage Tower move to stop those dragons?
Im going crazy.
This guys life.
How come I dont even have time to catch my breath?
.
.
.
The world trembled with fear.
About a dozen dragons were roaming the sky.
That fact alone was shocking.
But they were crying desperately.
That isnt the end!
H-Hes a great dragon
Youre crying with your neck stretched out like that?
Indeed.
With his eyes closed in the Dragon Temple.
He disappeared without a trace.
The Dark Dragon!
