Chapter 213
213: Ah, This Gets Exposed(2)
* * *
While Dohyun was sparring with the three of them until dawn, before Hezway had even returned to her building, most of the Department Store that had collapsed from the terrorist attack had been restored.
In fact, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it had been completely restored. Beyond that, the systems were also functioning properly again, and the shareholders—Hezway and the newly appointed Celestial Captain serving as security chief, along with Ines—were all witnessing the sight.
As expected of a Safe Zone close to the Central region, even the two Superior Races were somewhat impressed by the remarkably swift restoration.
In the midst of this.
Ines approached Hezway first.
While they weren’t entirely without points of contact, there weren’t many either, so when Hezway looked at Ines with an inward expression of curiosity, she heard something unexpected.
“From your reaction, it seems you haven’t heard yet.”
“Heard what?”
“I’m also joining one of the parties on that side.”
“Ah!”
With Ines’s words, Hezway instantly understood. The party Dohyun had mentioned was actually Captain Ines’s party! I truly couldn’t help but be amazed by Dohyun’s connections. It felt like he might even be more exceptional than myself, a Superior Race, so I couldn’t help but let out a small laugh.
As Hezway laughed, Ines could also empathize with her reaction.
If you see Dohyun for the first time, you might not understand, but if you feel him using Analysis, the story changes. The mystique and dread that Analysis possesses—anyone would feel it. Hezway did, and Ines did as well.
The two simultaneously recalled it and nodded their heads.
“He’s quite remarkable.”
“Indeed.”
“Perhaps that’s why strong individuals seem to naturally gravitate toward him.”
Hezway also nodded at Ines’s words. Truly a mysterious person.
“They say one shouldn’t hold prejudices, but honestly, humans are quite rare. No matter how many B-Grade and A-Grade humans exist….”
“They’re all in the Outer Regions. So it’s inevitable that few know of them.”
“That’s true.”
This was also why some mid-tier or Superior Races found humans fascinating. Even Earth’s greatest A-Grade Hunters operated in the outermost reaches of the A-Grade zones, so most knowledge of them remained confined to the lower-tier races.
However.
“I’ve heard there was once an era when humanity was mighty. A time when they were even treated as a mid-tier race.”
“Ah, I think I’ve heard of that. I believe it was called the era of Hwadaejuk.”
“Now few know of it, but the famous wanderer known in the C-Grade zones is said to be human from Hwadaejuk. Though now, with no dimension to return to, they’re treated as a monster.”
While Ines’s story was somewhat vague, Hezway could clearly understand what she was saying now.
She was reminding me that the humans who appeared after Hwadaejuk were not as strong as the humans of that era. And from that weakened humanity, there emerged a being.
“After Hwadaejuk fell, there was a famous figure from the Arcan Continent.”
“Right. The Plague Lord was also one of the humans.”
“In the end, the Plague Lord caused their dimension to be annihilated and had a massive impact on the Black Gate….”
“….”
As Hezway trailed off, Ines also didn’t continue. But the words that would follow were clearly understood by both of them.
The humans dwelling in this newly appeared dimension called Earth. And among those humans, a genius comparable to the Superior Races—no, a monster like Dohyun who seemed to surpass them effortlessly.
It was difficult to predict how his path would unfold, but one thing was certain.
Just as Hwadaejuk had, just as the Plague Lord had afterward, this time too would surely leave its mark on history. And this time.
“Perhaps humanity might continue to endure after all.”
“I agree.”
The two of them spoke in unison while gazing upward from the seafloor. They didn’t know how far Dohyun would ascend, but their thoughts aligned perfectly. They desperately hoped he wouldn’t go astray. After all, a second—or rather, a first—monster like “Dohyun” could be born.
Of course, watching Dohyun’s actions, could he be called a benefactor rather than a villain? For a moment, Ines found herself confused, but he performed so many virtuous deeds.
“I believe Dohyun would never transform into someone like the Plague Lord.”
“I share that belief as well.”
Ines and Hezway exchanged such words and ended their conversation with the understanding that they would watch over Dohyun carefully.
“Then shall we return together?”
“Ah, I still have matters to attend to, so please go ahead. Once dawn breaks, I’ll head to Hezway’s building with my party members. Vera is already there, though.”
“Understood. Then let us meet again when day breaks.”
After exchanging brief farewells, Hezway returned to the building and noticed the lights still burning in the Sparring Hall late into the night. As she observed it, she witnessed a shocking scene.
She swallowed hard, sensing an aura of Yongje she had never felt from Dohyun before.
Thus, after the sparring ended and Dohyun emerged, it led to the present moment where Hezway posed her question.
“Are you perhaps a Yongje?”
Though Hezway asked with utmost caution, tension still permeated her words, and fear coexisted alongside it.
Not merely any Yongje—the aura Hezway sensed was that of the Ruin’s Dragon Solvent, feared by all Dragon-humans and Dragon Clan alike.
Even though Dohyun had concealed the Yongje’s aura once more beneath the power of the Reaper, the lingering remnants she had felt moments ago made it impossible for her to easily shake off the emotion of fear.
Like a mouse before a serpent, the fear etched deep into her very genes was difficult for even Hezway, called a golden generation, to dispel immediately.
Dohyun, seeing Hezway’s state, awkwardly scratched his cheek and spoke.
“It just happened that way…”
“Huh. It was real!”
At Dohyun’s response, Hezway let out a cry of genuine shock. Seeing her expression mingled with admiration and fear, Dohyun scratched his cheek more seriously.
It was Hezway herself who had brought forth the successor of Yongje through Analysis. Now that she had discovered it, he felt somewhat worried.
After all, Yongje meant the emperor of dragons, or the sovereign of dragons. For someone possessing such a skill, this could potentially escalate into a national—or even dimensional—issue. Even the legendary Dohyun couldn’t help but feel concerned.
‘Sigh, should I have brought something else?’
Such thoughts crossed his mind briefly, but what could he do about what he’d already obtained? At least Hezway’s reaction still seemed favorable, so Dohyun asked cautiously.
“Will it become a problem…?”
For now, Dohyun knew little about Yongje and little about the Dragon-human race either. So when he asked Hezway cautiously, she fell into thought for a moment before speaking.
“If the Grand Mother were to learn of this, it could become a problem.”
“I see.”
As he suspected, he scratched his cheek. Then, suddenly, something occurred to him. Come to think of it.
‘Since I don’t have wings, I can’t acquire skills like gliding or physically impossible abilities through Analysis, right? But how can I obtain the Ruin’s Dragon Solvent or the successor of Yongje?’
As this fundamental question arose, thanks to using Analysis again from before, the blessed letters of Analysis appeared before Dohyun’s eyes.
[Analyzing the ‘Ruin’s Dragon Solvent’ and the ‘Successor of Yongje’.]
[The concept of ‘Yongje’ itself is closer to a spiritual meaning and is classified as a ‘Trait’.]
[Therefore, other races can also become Yongje.]
[Analyzing the inner nature of the ‘Ruin’s Dragon Solvent’ reveals that in actual history, there existed Yongje who were neither Dragon-humans nor of the Dragon Clan.]
Analysis had even analyzed the history embedded within the inner nature of the Ruin’s Dragon Solvent. Truly, Analysis was remarkable. As Dohyun thought this, he sensed Analysis feeling proud within him and the Ruin’s Dragon Solvent asking for praise as well, but he deliberately ignored it for now.
Still, hearing that Yongje of other races had existed before brought him some relief, though he couldn’t predict how Hezway or the Grand Mother she mentioned would act.
Then, at that moment, Hezway opened her mouth.
“If the Grand Mother were to learn of this… she would certainly wish to see you, Dohyun.”
“Wait… were you trying to kill me?”
At Dohyun’s ominous words, Hezway jumped back with a start, waving her hands frantically.
“What?! Of course not!”
“Then why do you want to see me?”
Genuinely confused, Dohyun asked the question, but Analysis beat Hezway to the answer.
[The dimension “Draxion,” home to the Dragon-human clan that Hezeway Paraksarl belongs to, operates as a matriarchal society.]
[Consequently, Draxion, which suffers from a shortage of strong males, often recruits male descendants of Dragon Solvent from other Dragon-human or Dragon clan dimensions.]
‘…Surely not?’
As Dohyun read Analysis’s message, he swallowed hard.
Hoping it wasn’t what he thought, he soon found his answer.
[To birth new Dragon Solvents, these male descendants of Dragon Solvent are appointed as “groom-in-law” to Draxion.]
No way, Dohyun thought, turning to look at Hezway—and there she was, her face flushed so deeply that it was impossible not to notice, her pale white skin making it all the more apparent. Gone was the commanding, authoritative demeanor she’d displayed until now; instead, her hands were clasped together, her fingers fidgeting nervously. By that point, Dohyun was certain that what Analysis had said was true.
Then Hezway swallowed and spoke.
“I-it’s just that m-male Dragon Solvents from other races are r-rare, so I wanted to s-see one.”
Unlike her usual composure, Hezway stammered considerably as she spoke, and Analysis’s message appeared before Dohyun’s eyes.
[That is a lie.]
The moment he saw it, Dohyun closed his eyes tightly. The conversation hadn’t fully unfolded yet, and Hezway hadn’t said it directly, but at just twenty-six years old, a political marriage?! The thought struck him, and Analysis provided him with several pieces of information to help, causing Dohyun’s expression to brighten rapidly.
He’d nearly been dragged away to become a groom-in-law to an alien race—something that was never meant to be his fate—but fortunately, a solution had presented itself.
Then he said:
“But how would I even go to your dimension?”
“…?”
“Interdimensional travel is impossible without a Dimensional Peace Agreement in place.”
Thanks to Dohyun’s quick thinking, he pointed out what even Hezway, caught off guard, hadn’t realized. She nodded at his words.
“Ah. You’re right about that. I seem to have caused you unnecessary worry. I apologize.”
“No, it’s fine. These things happen.”
“Ahem, we’ve been sparring for quite a while. I’ve kept you far too long. Go rest now.”
With that, Hezway left. As Dohyun watched her departing figure, a nagging thought crossed his mind.
‘Surely she won’t establish a Dimensional Peace Agreement, right?’
No way.
Aw, come on.
