Chapter 212
212: Oh, This Is Getting Exposed (1)
When Dohyun struck the shield, he had certainly used Rupture, but was it really painful enough to warrant such a reaction? Hadn’t he endured it well before? Something felt off. Dohyun tilted his head in confusion. Wondering if the effect was different from before, he observed Terra and Weasel sitting collapsed on the ground and pondered the matter.
‘Is it really different from before?’
With that thought, Dohyun tested Rupture on his own hand. The energy coursing through his hand and crawling up his arm—if I had to describe it, it felt like a kidney stone had formed in his arm. It was terribly painful.
“Wow.”
He hadn’t even used it that forcefully on his own hand, yet the effect was this severe. Imagining how agonizing it must have been for them, Dohyun felt a wave of remorse and approached Terra and Weasel.
As he drew near, wondering how much they must be hurting, Terra and Weasel perceived the Ruin’s Dragon Solvent itself approaching them, and their bodies trembled like aspen leaves in terror.
Had Dohyun been using Analysis at that moment, he would have sensed that Ruin’s Dragon Solvent was subtly emanating power because it disliked Terra and Weasel. But since he wasn’t using Analysis now, he remained oblivious.
Thus, he couldn’t help but be unaware of the fear toward Ruin’s Dragon Solvent manifesting—a terror that Terra and Weasel’s very cells remembered.
Unaware of all this, Dohyun approached the two and spoke.
“Oh, are you alright?”
“Uh-uh-uh.”
“Uh-uh-uh.”
Seeing the two unable to speak, having lost even language to their fear, Dohyun’s misunderstanding began.
“Oh, it must hurt quite a bit.”
Terra could still feel the Rupture effect writhing in his head, and Dohyun’s expression hardened with concern.
Then.
Flinch!
Terra and Weasel both flinched simultaneously, and seeing their pitiful state, Dohyun quickly cast healing upon them.
However, the only healing spell Dohyun possessed was Muscle Healing, which Ruin’s Dragon Solvent happened to possess through Fusion, and thus Ruin’s Dragon Solvent’s power flowed forth according to Dohyun’s will.
Ruin’s Dragon Solvent, true to its name, was a dragon that destroyed all things, yet it was not a dragon that only destroyed. True to the name “Solvent,” it possessed the stature to command all dragons, and it was a being of such noble dignity that it could show mercy to itself and its own bloodline.
And.
Whooooosh——.
The dragon-kind who received mercy from Ruin’s Dragon Solvent.
“Ah, ahhh!”
“Ahhhhh!!”
Became the limbs of Ruin’s Dragon Solvent, unable to refuse it. This was the true power possessed by the Solvent—the stature of an emperor capable of commanding all dragons and all dragon-kind.
Especially for Terra and Weasel, who were now in a polymorphic state closer to dragon-kind than Yongin-kind, they could feel it all the more acutely.
Healing, mercy, and baptism—the bodies of the two who received it began to transform gradually.
Terra, who had previously possessed a form close to a wyvern, now transformed from that wyvern appearance into scales of midnight blue resembling the night sky, while Weasel, who had possessed the form of a terrestrial dragon, gradually metamorphosed into scales resembling dark obsidian.
“Huh?”
Dohyun, unaware such an effect was possible, blinked his eyes rapidly. He wondered if something had gone wrong, but even without using Analysis, he could tell it was the opposite. Both had healed rapidly, and Terra and Weasel’s stature had risen ever so slightly.
The pupils of Terra and Weasel, whose stature had risen, couldn’t help but tremble violently.
The Yongin-kind’s dimensions numbered three in total, and the number of Solvents existing in each dimension was scarce. At most, there were only two, and typically there was only one Solvent and some descendants of the Solvent. In Draxion, which could be called Terra and Weasel’s homeland, there was only one Solvent—the Great Mother—and all others were descendants of the Solvent, so to speak, seeds.
Yet, could it be that a Solvent existed in another dimension, and moreover, as a different race?
‘This… this is surely…’
‘The blessing of the Solvent…’
Though they had never heard of a tale of one who was not a dragon obtaining the stature of a Solvent, Terra and Weasel could feel their stature rise in part and be certain of it.
That Dohyun standing before them now was a true Solvent. Having received this blessing directly upon their bodies, they could not possibly be mistaken.
That’s why their bodies trembled all the more with fear. They had finally grasped exactly whom they were being insolent toward.
Watching this, Dohyun blinked, and Terra and Weasel quickly bowed their heads before him, their voices overflowing with reverence mixed with fear and respect.
“…We failed to recognize your greatness.”
“…Please, show us mercy….”
As Terra and Weasel bowed and spoke thus, Dohyun blinked in bewilderment. Just moments ago, they had been the ones picking fights and treating humans as inferior species—could these really be the same individuals?
As Dohyun stood there confused, watching Vera serve as referee, Vera found herself equally perplexed.
The Dragon-humans weren’t outright racist, but they were a race that flaunted their superiority and strength. Yet suddenly bowing their heads to Dohyun….
‘Wait, is that even possible?’
Vera thought that if she didn’t want to continue sparring, she would have done the same. Actually, she had tried. It just hadn’t worked.
For a moment, Vera’s eyes softened with sympathy, as if understanding those two. However, Dohyun looked at them with an awkward expression and swallowed hard.
No matter who Dohyun was, he wouldn’t be harsh to someone acting weak, and since he’d taken the Rupture directly, the pain was far greater than expected, which surprised him.
As a result, even Dohyun couldn’t help but become somewhat gentler in his demeanor.
“It seems the impact was quite severe….”
Since he’d been speaking casually from the start, using formal speech felt awkward, so when Dohyun said this, Terra and Weasel trembled as if moved, bowing even deeper as they spoke.
“We are grateful for your mercy!!!”
“We are deeply grateful for your mercy, vast as the sea.”
“Y-yes, yes, that’s right.”
Watching them speak thus, Dohyun, believing it was truly because of the Rupture, remained quiet out of guilt. Meanwhile, Vera’s eyes widened in shock, her mouth falling open.
When she had pleaded like that, they hadn’t shown her mercy! Why were these two different!?
Then suddenly, Vera recalled something different about Terra and Weasel compared to herself.
‘Should I have served him like a royal?’
Seeing how extremely submissive those two were being, Vera secretly clenched her fist, deciding she’d have to use that approach next time.
Meanwhile, while Vera was entertaining these meaningless thoughts, Terra and Weasel looked at Dohyun, then at each other, thinking to themselves.
‘…Could there really be a Yongje among humans….’
‘I wouldn’t have believed it before receiving this mercy….’
And after murmuring thus, the two nodded as if they had made a decision.
If they hadn’t known until now, that would be one thing, but having learned the truth and received this blessing or baptism, remaining idle was something unthinkable for a Dragon-human.
‘We must devote our loyalty to him!’
‘We cannot repay kindness with ingratitude!’
Their eyes shone brightly as their Polymorph gradually dissolved, and even after it dissolved, they appeared noticeably stronger than before. However, seeing the Polymorph dissolve, Dohyun tilted his head in confusion.
“Huh? Why are you releasing the Polymorph?”
“Huh?” “Yes?” “Eh?”
At Dohyun’s words, Terra, Weasel, and even Vera, who was supposed to be refereeing, looked at him in confusion, and he spoke to Terra and Weasel.
“I won’t use Rupture, so we need to spar again.”
“…?” “…?” “Ugh!”
Vera, thinking “of course he would,” realized it wasn’t just her who had experienced this, and she was quite satisfied with that realization when—
“Vera, please come as well.”
“Y-yes, yes, yes, yes? M-me, me, me too? Why me???”
Vera, suddenly called upon and startled, asked back, and Dohyun blinked as he replied.
“You’re still not ready to fight Davy Jones, so you need to improve your skills further.”
“…Ah.”
Unable to muster a rebuttal, my eyes—which had been dull as those of livestock dragged to slaughter—quickly grew misty with tears. But after experiencing me for several days, Vera, who knew me exceptionally well, resigned herself to her fate and approached where Terra and Weasel stood.
Terra and Weasel’s eyes trembled as they watched Vera approach.
‘Wasn’t she shown mercy?’
‘Why another sparring match?’
As the two stood there in complete bewilderment, Vera—already a veteran victim of my relentless sparring addiction—turned to them and spoke.
“…Don’t try to understand it. Just give your all in the sparring match. That’s the only way to suffer less.”
Just moments before, she had seemed fragile, and I’d genuinely wondered if this was really Vera, a Celestial of the golden generation like Hezway. But watching the atmosphere shift in an instant, Terra and Weasel swallowed hard, and Vera spoke again.
“This person is a sparring fanatic. He even pesters our Celestial Captain to spar with him.”
The moment they heard this, Terra and Weasel trembled, recalling the Celestial Captain’s overwhelming strength. And somehow.
‘From… from the very beginning…’
‘…We fell into a trap.’
As the two thought this, I shouted.
“Alright then! Let’s do this again without using Rupture! I think I’m getting the hang of it! Everyone, do your best!”
Saying so with a bright smile, I quickly pushed off the ground and charged forward. Only then did they realize this was a real sparring match, and Weasel, the tank, moved first. Behind him, Terra and Vera provided support and cover as the sparring continued until dawn.
As Vera, Terra, and Weasel lay sprawled in the Sparring Hall and were being carried to their respective rooms by the hired servants, only I emerged with a refreshed smile. Hezway, who had arrived at some point, stood waiting before the Sparring Hall, his eyes trembling as he gazed at me.
I looked at Hezway and spoke.
“Oh! You’re here?”
Though I greeted him warmly, Hezway’s expression remained unchanged. Unlike his usual gentle demeanor toward me, something felt off, so I quietly waited for him to speak, sensing something was amiss.
Then.
“…Suhyun, or rather, I’ll call you Dohyun from now on.”
“Hmm?”
Seeing Hezway suddenly grow serious, I looked at him with confusion. Wondering if something had gone wrong, I too became grave. Hezway, observing my shift in demeanor, asked carefully.
“Are you, by any chance, Yongje?”
At Hezway’s bombshell revelation, my eyes began to tremble.
‘Ah, it’s been exposed.’
