Chapter 214
214: Oh, This Gets Exposed(3)
* * *
As Hezway hurriedly left her seat and entered her chamber, her shimmering silver hair swayed before settling into stillness. Though she had been somewhat flustered earlier, it was hardly a matter of great consequence—she composed herself and settled into a chair within her room without further agitation.
Then she contemplated.
‘A new Yongje.’
How long had it been since a new Yongje had emerged? She recalled that centuries had passed. The descendants of Yongje rarely manifested anymore, so one could say the line had essentially ended.
And yet.
‘Such an extraordinarily potent aura of Yongje….’
Hezway closed her eyes gently, contemplating the possibility that this Yongje might possess a rank even higher than the Grand Mother herself.
The current number of existing Yongje was five. And among them, only two could truly be called active. Unfortunately, the Grand Mother had long since retired from active service, so Draxion—Hezway’s dimension—was in dire need of a new Yongje.
This was precisely why Hezway had been pushing herself so hard to hunt Davy Jones.
The Dragon-human and Dragon Clans acquired rank far more rapidly than other races when hunting the strong. That was why she intended to capture Davy Jones, elevate her rank, germinate the seed of Yongje within herself, and become a Yongje.
Yet Dohyun was already a Yongje.
‘There’s always a reason behind greatness, it seems.’
Hezway thought this through, and realized this was something she could not simply overlook. Though she had been startled in Dohyun’s presence earlier, returning to her chamber and thinking calmly had clarified her thoughts considerably.
While bringing Dohyun as a son-in-law had seemed somewhat embarrassing, it was an opportunity to establish a favorable relationship with a Yongje.
Though she had called it a son-in-law arrangement, it was essentially a political marriage, so it was entirely possible for Dohyun to remain in South Korea.
Especially since she had spoken with Ines before meeting Dohyun—about how this generation of humanity might be different, and that Dohyun was the turning point. Hezway had agreed with that assessment then, and now, seeing that he was a Yongje, it certainly seemed justified.
Moreover.
‘This isn’t just good news for Draxion.’
If she were to have Dohyun meet the Grand Mother, a Dimensional Peace Agreement would need to be established—and this would benefit not only Draxion.
Humanity and the Draxion Dimension had always been at odds, but if a Dimensional Peace Agreement were achieved between them, should humanity face a crisis, Draxion could intervene and prevent catastrophe.
It was mutually beneficial—an excellent arrangement. Hezway made a firm decision that she must present this proposal to the Grand Mother.
Besides.
‘…Dohyun does have decent looks, after all…
…, No! What am I thinking!’
Even as she thought this, she shook her head vigorously as if to deny it, then threw herself onto the bed. It seemed the fatigue from recent travels had accumulated more than she realized.
She would sleep first and think later. Tomorrow, all the other parties would gather for a meeting anyway, so rest took priority.
Hezway went to bed early for the first time in ages, though unfortunately, sleep did not come easily that night.
Pang pang pang!
‘Why would I think such a thing!’
It was a night where only her poor blanket bore the brunt of her frustration.
* * *
A Dimensional Peace Agreement was no trivial matter and could not be granted so easily, so Dohyun deliberately did not dwell on it afterward. He treated it as merely a passing remark and did not give it serious thought, instead focusing on the schedule for the next day.
To reinforce their forces for the Davy Jones Raid and obtain new equipment, he returned to the Auction House, which had been closed due to yesterday’s terror attack.
Dohyun, Hanalin, and Jiyuchan all entered together, but the atmosphere was inevitably more unsettled than the previous day. Participation had even decreased compared to last time, and for some reason, the items on offer were not particularly impressive.
While the Dohyun Party lamented the situation, they managed to acquire a remarkably fine item well-suited to Hanalin for 1.1 million points.
It was a pendant that sold for the same price as the spear Hanalin had purchased for Dohyun—the single-horned spear of Dokgak-gwi—and it provided Hanalin with effects superior to anything else.
『Phantom Beast’s Moonlight Heart』
▶「A silver moonlit mana pendant crafted from the purified heart of a silver mystical beast.」
▶「When beneath moonlight or starlight, the wearer’s mana regenerates more rapidly.」
▶「By purifying the mana passing through the pendant, it reduces mana consumption for all magic and skills used by the wearer by 10%.」
▶「The pendant automatically filters out harmful energies such as deadly toxins, demonic essence, and curses attempting to infiltrate from outside, eliminating them within the body.」
“That was a really good purchase.”
“Thank you, Dohyun. I got such a wonderful item thanks to you.”
At my words, Hanalin expressed her gratitude while gazing contentedly at the pendant. Today’s only newly acquired item from the auction was Hanalin’s mystical beast moonlight heart, and everything else was what Jiyuchan and I had already purchased yesterday.
First, Jiyuchan’s accessory.
『Purified Slime Core Necklace』
▶「A necklace crafted by completely removing toxicity from an acidic slime’s core and refining only its mana.」
▶「It slightly increases the wearer’s natural healing ability and aids in recovery from abrasions and minor contusions.」
▶「Its beautiful blue-tinted appearance occasionally sparks bidding wars not only among Hunters but also among ordinary people as a self-defense accessory.」
Though we ended up paying a whopping 300,000 points due to unnecessary bidding over its beauty, it was actually a bargain since the Auction House didn’t fully understand its effects.
If only the appearance had been a bit uglier, we could have bought it cheaper, but regardless, Jiyuchan was genuinely delighted with a 3 billion won item and wore it carefully.
And I managed to snag two items—one being boots that I got for an incredibly cheap price.
『Wind Spirit Feather Boots』
▶「Leather boots decorated with mystical beast feathers imbued with the essence of wind spirits.」
▶「Can be worn as an overshoe on top of existing footwear.」
▶「The wearer’s footsteps become lighter, and movement speed reduction is minimized even in rough terrain or swamps.」
▶「When jumping from high places, the effect of slowing fall speed is applied, greatly increasing survival rate.」
▶「Affinity with spirits increases.」
It was a truly godly item that allowed wearing two pairs of shoes simultaneously while preventing movement speed reduction in rough or swampy terrain, with the added effect of slowing fall speed—an absurdly cost-effective piece of equipment.
Moreover, it even increased spirit affinity, yet I managed to buy it for merely 5,000 points.
Just 50 million won, and I obtained an excellent item.
And now, the main event—my weapon.
The spear Hanalin bought for me out of gratitude.
『Dokgak-gwi Single Horn Spear』
▶「A long spear crafted from the intact horn of ‘Dokgak-gwi Commander,’ the Dungeon boss of the Dokgak-gwi Dungeon.」
▶「It boasts overwhelming piercing power that easily penetrates even steel armor, and upon impact, injects the toxin condensed within the weapon directly into the target’s body. At this time, the user’s mana can also be injected instead of toxin.」
▶「When thrown, it returns to the user by utilizing the Dokgak-gwi’s instinctive habit of the horn returning.」
A long spear equipped with an auto-retrieval option and possessing considerable piercing power.
Either of these two features alone would make it an extraordinary item, so I couldn’t help but grin.
“It’s a bit grotesque, but… considering its effects, it’s heavenly.”
As I spoke and gazed at the Dokgak-gwi Single Horn Spear, I found it absolutely endearing. At minimum, with these options, it deserved over a million points rather than 1.1 million, though the ugly appearance did make it feel like a steal.
And on top of that.
‘I also have the chain censer.’
After all, I had acquired the Chain Censer of Apocalypse, a relic of the Plague Lord itself. So I had essentially obtained two weapons.
Since both seemed capable of synergizing with the Plague Lord, I thought perhaps this time I could truly make full use of the Plague Lord.
In any case, now that the Dohyun Party had adequately equipped ourselves, it was time to move on to the next task. I reached into my magic pouch and pulled out an item.
『Pipe of Summoning』
▶「You can summon a designated monster.」
▶「Currently designated monster: Baeryujin」
▶「However, it can only be used in the same C-rank Zone.」
As Dohyun pulled it out, both Hanalin and Jiyuchan looked at it with quite pleased expressions. Today was finally the day to gather the Party, and it was time to summon Baeryujin, who could do the work of an entire Party.
Baeryujin could have refused after being summoned, but Dohyun, Hanalin, and Jiyuchan never even considered the possibility that he would. They had told him they would help as much as possible, and everyone present here vividly remembered that those words were sincere.
Although Baeryujin could have refused when summoned, Dohyun, Hanalin, and Jiyuchan didn’t even think he would refuse. He had promised to help them as much as possible, and everyone here clearly remembered that those words were sincere.
Of course, even if he did refuse, they harbored no resentment or complaint.
The teachings Baeryujin had given them so far were already an enormous help in themselves.
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen Baek Sabu.”
Though it hadn’t been that long, it somehow felt like ages, so when Hanalin and Jiyuchan looked at Dohyun expectantly, he nodded in agreement.
As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot—Dohyun blew the flute.
Then.
Piiiiiii———
The distinctive sound of the flute cutting through the air rang out, and both Hanalin and Jiyuchan’s eyebrows twitched momentarily at that sound. After a brief moment, Baeryujin appeared before Dohyun, whom they hadn’t seen in quite some time.
Baeryujin himself seemed quite startled, as if he hadn’t expected to be summoned so soon.
“I was wondering why you called me so suddenly….”
He didn’t bother saying that they were truly monsters. Looking not at Dohyun but at Hanalin and Jiyuchan, Baeryujin genuinely clicked his tongue in amazement and spoke.
“You’ve already stepped into the realm of advanced martial arts and grand magic.”
“You truly have a keen eye, sir.”
“Thank you.”
Hanalin and Jiyuchan bowed their heads gratefully at Baeryujin’s words. They felt genuinely impressed that he could recognize it at a glance.
With that, Baeryujin nodded and, just as before, extended his fist toward Hanalin and began conversing in the form of a sparring match.
As they sparred, Baeryujin taught Hanalin with remarkable sharpness, and this sparring with Baeryujin flowed to Hanalin like a conversation.
“Your mental image is developing. I don’t know much about shamanism, but Narin, I think it’s best if you don’t rush and gradually expand your mental image as if you were widening a 『vessel』.”
Through such kind explanations, Baeryujin’s unique method of teaching through sparring—something that couldn’t be conveyed through mere words to anyone else—allowed Hanalin to gain profound insight.
When the light exchange of hands came to an end, Hanalin immediately bowed to Baeryujin.
“Yes, Master. I will keep it in mind.”
“Hehe.”
In the past, he would have told her not to call him master, but hearing Hanalin’s words after so long, Baeryujin chuckled and nodded.
From Baeryujin’s response, Hanalin’s eyes brightened as if she had grasped something, and seeing that, Baeryujin smiled with satisfaction before moving on to Jiyuchan.
Similarly.
“Jiyuchan, you’re the opposite. Your 『vessel』 is expanding well, but you must discard the old to move forward. Especially if you stubbornly cling to what you currently have, thinking it’s not significantly different, you won’t be able to progress easily.”
Understanding that conversation felt through the light exchange of hands, Jiyuchan responded.
“Yes, Master. Thank you for teaching me!”
“That’s right.”
Jiyuchan too seemed to have grasped something thanks to Baeryujin, his eyes now gleaming with brilliance and overflowing with vitality. Thanks to Baeryujin’s considerable teachings this time as well, Jiyuchan appeared to have found his footing, and Dohyun watched the two with an envious expression.
Then, as if asking what he had to say for himself, he grinned and stood before Baeryujin, who stared at him for a long while before suddenly furrowing his brow deeply.
As if he had witnessed something unsightly, Dohyun tilted his head in confusion and asked Baeryujin.
“Why are you like that?”
At Dohyun’s question, Baeryujin, who had been staring at him for a while, finally opened his mouth.
Then.
“Did you become the Dragon King?”
At Baeryujin’s words, Dohyun furrowed his brow in thought.
‘Caught again?’
