Chapter 255
255: Dimensional Peace Agreement???(2)
Dohyun, who was cursing inwardly, and Belmut Paraksara—Hezway’s grandmother, the Grand Mother of the Draxion Dimension, and the Ruin’s Dragon Solvent of Hongryeom—shared a similar sentiment.
‘What the hell do I do?’
One could say she was a Dragon Regent who had lived for tens of thousands of years, yet the way one lived remained much the same.
Belmut was no exception.
She only maintained an air of solemnity because other Dragon-humans were present; Belmut herself was not particularly serious by nature. Had she been truly grave, she would never have proceeded with a Dimensional Peace Agreement simply because her granddaughter had acted a bit coquettish.
The fact that Belmut’s reaction seemed casual did not mean she was not thinking seriously about the matter.
For the ‘Ruin’s Dragon Solvent’ was no trivial affair.
‘What am I to do about this….’
The ‘Ruin’s Dragon Solvent’.
Once, it had nearly driven the entire Dragon-human and Dragon races to extinction, and it was the very source that had caused all the dragons of today to decline into pitiful beasts.
Of course, circumstances had arisen that made the appearance of the ‘Ruin’s Dragon Solvent’ inevitable, but that did not erase its role as the source of calamity.
All the more so for Belmut, who had vividly experienced that long history.
Despite possessing ‘Transcendence,’ her body had grown frail and withdrawn from active duty, making the situation all the more troublesome.
‘I cannot deal with the ‘Ruin’s Dragon Solvent’ as I am now….’
If she did not properly use ‘Transcendence,’ then even if she killed Dohyun this very instant, the power of the ‘Ruin’s Dragon Solvent’ would burst forth and surely kill not only herself but her granddaughter Hezway as well.
Yet she could not simply leave Dohyun as he was.
If the ‘Ruin’s Dragon Solvent’ had taken root, it would certainly possess a nature to be seized by endless rage and darkness, bringing all things to ruin.
And yet.
“…?”
“…?”
Belmut tilted her head, watching Dohyun standing there blankly as if wondering why she wasn’t saying anything, and Dohyun likewise tilted his head as he looked at her.
They were both looking at each other as if asking why the other wasn’t making a move.
No matter that this was a Dimensional Rift—a space for dialogue created by the Black Gate—there were countless ways to inflict harm.
Even the ‘Ruin’s Dragon Solvent’ could easily cause harm if she used even a fraction of her power.
Yet she remained still.
‘What is this?’
Seeing the ‘Ruin’s Dragon Solvent’—no, Dohyun—remain docile, she felt bewildered, while conversely, Dohyun sensed an overwhelming pressure and tensed, thinking this might be a crisis, yet no words came, leaving him equally confused.
‘Is she just letting this pass?’
As Dohyun understood it, the ‘Ruin’s Dragon Solvent’ was the source of an indelible wound for both Dragon-humans and Dragons, so he naturally expected a response filled with hostility. Yet Belmut did nothing of the sort; instead, she merely remained vigilant, leaving him unable to comprehend what was happening.
Then.
[Currently, 「Belmut Paraksara, the Ruin’s Dragon Solvent of Hongryeom」 is unable to properly utilize 「Transcendence」 due to her aging body, and thus cannot decisively deal with the 「Ruin’s Dragon Solvent」, causing her to waver in indecision.]
‘…That’s?’
Dohyun looked at Belmut again upon hearing this.
What he saw was a slender beauty over two meters tall, maintaining considerable vigilance with a stern expression, arms crossed, not consciously releasing any aura, yet an oppressive presence emanated from her nonetheless.
This tyrannical and overwhelming aura—as if she would place all things in this world beneath her feet—was felt not only by Dohyun but also by Hanalin and Jiyuchan, their expressions showing no sign of relaxation.
Though she had not inflicted direct harm, the suffocating sense of constriction and the weight of the surrounding air, far heavier than usual, was interpreted as meaning that even this level was nothing more than a trifle to Belmut.
“…Phew.”
“…This is no joke.”
Belmut Paraksara, who had worn such a stern expression that even Hanalin and Jiyuchan found it overwhelming.
Was this what hesitation looked like?
‘If she weren’t hesitating, how oppressive would she actually be….’
As Dohyun thought it was truly beyond imagination, Analysis displayed text once more.
[Currently, the power of 「Hongryeom’s Dragon Regent, Belmut Paraksara」 exceeds that of an S-Rank Hunter, but falls short of SS-Rank.]
Dohyun found it utterly absurd that she fell somewhere between those two tiers.
He had only just experienced the power of an S-Rank Hunter moments ago, and now he was facing something even greater?
Yet unlike with Davy Jones, since she harbored no intent to cause harm, his soul remained completely unscathed.
Had it been otherwise, neither Hanalin nor Jiyuchan would have been able to stand.
As Dohyun examined Belmut through 『Analysis』, she too was drawing upon her power to pierce through him.
Normally, the gap between the 『Ruin’s Dragon Solvent』 and herself would have made it impossible to see anything at all, but Dohyun’s current body was merely a B-Rank vessel.
‘No matter how much the 『Transcendence Repository』harbored the 『Ruin’s Dragon Solvent』, that 『Transcendence』 remains faint.’
Thus, Belmut concluded that Dohyun could not obscure her vision now.
Though he appeared serene now, with neither anger nor darkness visible, she was certain that beneath that foolish-looking face lay endless rage and shadow.
Because that was the 『Ruin’s Dragon Solvent』.
And so, the moment Belmut’s pupils split vertically, transforming into those of a dragon, she pierced through into Dohyun’s inner world.
There, within Dohyun’s depths, Belmut discovered the 『Ruin’s Dragon Solvent』.
Pant, pant.
It lay with its belly exposed, tail wagging against the ground, its stomach being stroked by someone’s hand.
“??????”
The 『Ruin’s Dragon Solvent』—terror of all Dragon-humans and Dragon Clan thousands of years past, their very annihilation—was now lying like a mere dog, belly up, rubbing against the ground?
And someone was stroking its stomach?
It was a sight utterly beyond comprehension.
Where had the endless, infinite rage gone? Where was the darkness that should blanket the world alongside that fury? Why was it acting so affectionate instead?
Had the 『Ruin’s Dragon Solvent』 always been this kind of being?
Belmut stared blankly for a moment before regaining her senses.
‘That… that can’t be right.’
In the moment she tried to see what was stroking the 『Ruin’s Dragon Solvent』’s belly, a figure with long, brilliantly white hair smiled brightly and shook their head.
And then.
“Ugh.”
Belmut suddenly clutched her eyes in agony.
Even piercing through the 『Ruin’s Dragon Solvent』 was straining her, but merely almost meeting the gaze of that white-haired figure caused her eyes to burn with searing pain.
As Belmut writhed in pain, clutching her eyes, both Hezway and Dohyun reacted.
“Grand Mother!?” “Huh?”
Hezway responded with concern, while Dohyun blinked, sensing something like a penetrating gaze upon him.
And.
‘She just saw my inner world, didn’t she?’
Dohyun quickly realized what had happened.
He wondered if there was another way to pierce through one’s inner world besides 『Analysis』.
[I merely showed her the 『Ruin’s Dragon Solvent』 slightly.]
As Analysis conveyed its message through those characters, Dohyun stared blankly at them, his mind racing.
‘Is that even possible?’
The notion that Analysis had shown only what it wished to reveal meant, conversely, that it could withhold anything—making it impossible to discern the true limits of Analysis’s capabilities.
While Dohyun was still uncovering truths through Analysis, Belmut Paraksara, who had been clutching her eyes in pain, raised her hand to signal Hezway that she was fine, then spoke.
“Don’t worry about me. More importantly—”
After addressing Hezway, Belmut turned her slightly bloodshot eyes toward Dohyun’s party and continued.
“I’ve kept our guests standing far too long. Please, come and sit.”
Though a brief tension had hung in the air, Belmut’s words seemed to dissolve it entirely. The oppressive aura emanating from her also lessened noticeably, and both Hanalin and Jiyuchan visibly relaxed.
The Dohyun Party approached the table where Belmut was seated and sat down.
And as Belmut observed Dohyun, a thought crossed her mind.
‘For now, it seems I need not worry about the Ruin’s Dragon Solvent.’
The Ruin’s Dragon Solvent.
It was truly the very embodiment of the Dragon-human race’s annihilation—a being that still made Belmut tremble with dread.
But why?
The terror that had scraped at the ground, gasping and whimpering—or rather, upon seeing that ancient ancestor, such thoughts felt utterly useless and pointless.
Endless rage?
Darkness that devoured even light?
Such notions did not surface; instead, only the image of the Ruin’s Dragon Solvent gasping and whimpering like a dog on the ground, belly exposed, came to mind.
As that image surfaced once more, Belmut squeezed her eyes shut.
Yes, for now.
“Let us discuss the Dimensional Peace Agreement.”
“The Dimensional Peace Agreement???” “What???” “Huh???”
Dohyun, Hanalin, and Jiyuchan all turned to Belmut with expressions full of confusion, while Hezway, looking embarrassed, spoke to the bewildered party.
“Dohyun, I wish to join your party.”
At Hezway’s words, Dohyun’s eyes widened in genuine shock.
And then—
“You want to marry into my family!?”
Dohyun cried out in alarm, his voice sharp, and at that sound, Hanalin jumped to her feet in panic, looking frantically between them.
“M-marry into the family!?”
At Hanalin’s shocked exclamation, Hezway’s eyes went wide and she frantically waved her hands, crying out.
“No, that’s not what I meant!!!”
As Hezway and Hanalin erupted in flustered denials, Jiyuchan, observing the chaos, blinked in bewilderment and muttered.
“Dohyun, when did you and Hezway become… that close?”
And Belmut, likewise observing the situation, had already forgotten the shocking image the Ruin’s Dragon Solvent had shown her moments before, now smiling with evident amusement.
Hezway vehemently denied it, waving her hands frantically, yet her face flushed crimson; and Hanalin, watching both Hezway and Dohyun, stood frozen in shock.
“Hmm?”
The situation was spiraling into complete chaos.
* * *
By the time the Dohyun Party placed their hands upon the Stone Tablet and moved through the Dimensional Rift,
the situation on Earth had become nothing short of pandemonium.
Of course, it hadn’t been disclosed to the public yet—only the heads of state and key figures within the Hunter Association knew of it. But it would spread to the masses in the blink of an eye.
That’s why behind-the-scenes maneuvering was happening at a frenzied pace.
Based on the name alone, countries were making inquiries to determine whether it was China or South Korea. South Korea, under Han Muyeol’s forceful statements, was playing dumb and deflecting, while China was—
“Association President, China is claiming this Hunter belongs to them.”
Lee Suhyuk was clearly insisting that the Hunter was one of their nation’s own.
Of course, most countries didn’t believe China’s claims and were repeatedly sending official documents to the Ilseong Guild, South Korea, and the Korean Hunter Association.
When I mentioned this to Han Muyeol, he reacted as if it were absurd.
“Crazy bastards. Leave them be.”
It was simply unbelievable that China was still playing their games even in the midst of such chaos.
At this rate, a Dimensional War wouldn’t be surprising.
Han Muyeol gazed at the Stone Tablet, which still glowed red.
He was hoping that the Dohyun Party would return safely, even if it became known that Dohyun was Korean.
‘South Korea—no, more than that, Earth’s hope, you could say.’
Considering the pace of the Dohyun Party and everything else, honestly, becoming Earth’s strongest Hunter would happen in an instant.
The fact that they’d already reached B-Rank was proof enough of that.
Han Muyeol genuinely believed this.
As long as Dohyun didn’t cause too much trouble.
But still—
Buzz buzz buzz—
Seeing his phone vibrate in his pocket again, Han Muyeol frowned and pulled it out. This time, it was someone he had to answer.
None other than—
[Lee Jaeho]
Lee Jaeho, the Guild Master of the Ilseong Guild.
Han Muyeol answered the call.
And then—
-Countries are flooding us with inquiries. I never imagined things would escalate like this so soon after receiving Dohyun.
“…We’ll have to give you a bit more preferential treatment.”
No matter how brazenly he tried to handle it, this was a situation where he had no choice but to give the Ilseong Guild some additional favors.
-Thank you. We’re mobilizing all our personnel, but it’s getting quite difficult.
“At least Ilseong can hold out. Our Association is literally dying right now.”
-It’s a global commotion after all.
“Sigh. I just hope they return safely.”
-That’s true. Even if it becomes known that Lee Suhyun is Korean.
“My thoughts exactly…”
It was at that very moment Han Muyeol was about to speak.
The Stone Tablet at the Black Gate underwent a change.
The tablet’s color, which had been red until moments ago, gradually began shifting to blue, and new characters started etching themselves onto its surface.
Seeing this, Han Muyeol forgot he was still on the call with Lee Jaeho and spoke out.
“Check the tablet’s contents immediately!!!”
“Yes, sir!”
“I’m going right now!!!”
At Han Muyeol’s words, everyone reacted and approached the Stone Tablet, and Lee Jaeho, who had been on the call, also startled and hurriedly asked.
-What happened!? What is written on the Stone Tablet!?
As Lee Jaeho asked, Han Muyeol read the contents engraved on the Stone Tablet and cried out involuntarily.
“This crazy bastard…!!!”
-Why!!! Did he cause another incident!?!
Lee Jaeho also grew anxious and asked, but Han Muyeol stared blankly at the Stone Tablet’s contents, unable to speak.
And for good reason.
[The Celestial Dimension “Draxion” and the Celestial Dimension “Korea, Earth” hereby establish a Dimensional Peace Agreement as follows.]
[1. The designated dimensions shall actively assist each other in mutual destruction and mutual crises, and shall actively exchange with one another.]
[2. The designated dimensions cannot inflict harm upon each other.]
[3. The designated dimensions shall maintain an equal relationship.]
[4. This Dimensional Peace Agreement shall be maintained as long as the “Overseer Party” of “Korea, Earth” and “Draxion” continues to exist.]
[5. Other nations belonging to the Celestial Dimension “Earth” wishing to join this Dimensional Peace Agreement must pay appropriate compensation to “Korea, Earth” and the “Overseer Party.”]
[6. The Celestial Dimension “Draxion” shall not station a son-in-law in “Korea, Earth.”]
[7. Should anyone belonging to the Celestial Dimension “Earth” inflict harm upon the “Overseer Party” and those related to them, they shall become hostile to the Celestial Dimension “Draxion.”]
[8. Inquiries regarding joining this Dimensional Peace Agreement shall be directed to Han Muyeol, the Hunter Association President of “Korea, Earth.”]
“This… son of a bitch….”
Han Muyeol could only say that.
Dohyun was now extorting the entire Earth on a global scale.
But what in the world was that “son-in-law” clause about?
