Chapter 256
256: Inquiries About Joining? Contact Association President Han Muyeol! (1)
* * *
The Dimensional Rift discussion hall had descended into absolute chaos.
At Dohyun’s casual mention of becoming a live-in son-in-law, both Hanalin and Hezway Draxar sprang to their feet, while Jiyuchan and Belmutt observed the spectacle with evident amusement.
Belmutt, watching the scene unfold, discerned that Dohyun genuinely wished to avoid such an arrangement, yet simultaneously detected a faint note of disappointment in Hezway’s expression as she observed his resistance—and he caught every nuance of it.
And then there was Hanalin’s reaction on top of it all.
“Interesting.”
For Belmutt, who had lived through countless millennia, such entertainment was a rare commodity.
Moreover, observing his granddaughter’s unusual response suggested something deeper lay beneath the surface.
‘These matters must proceed gradually, like rain soaking through cloth without notice.’
Belmutt surveyed the situation swiftly and moved to calm them all.
Without any oppressive force, only gentle warmth infused his words as he addressed them.
“Silence.”
“….” “….” “….” “….”
Immediately, all four—Dohyun, Hanalin, Jiyuchan, and Hezway Draxar—fell silent.
Swayed by his gentle charisma, the four quieted, and both Hanalin and Hezway Draxar glanced around before settling back into their seats in composed silence.
As the atmosphere gradually stabilized, Belmutt spoke first, his tone measured.
“I understand you may have considered the live-in son-in-law arrangement, but I would ask that you recognize our granddaughter did not intend her words in that manner.”
“Oh?”
At Belmutt’s words, Dohyun glanced at Hezway Draxar as if questioning the truth, and she nodded readily—though her expression carried an unmistakable hint of regret—while Hanalin’s eyes flickered briefly toward Hezway Draxar.
In any case, amid such circumstances, Belmutt nodded and continued.
“Since you appear well-versed in the Dimensional Peace Agreement, let us discuss it further. First, Hezway Draxar.”
After Belmutt reorganized the situation and called upon Hezway Draxar by name, she nodded and methodically explained matters to Dohyun amid the confusion.
Everyone present already knew that a Dimensional Peace Agreement was necessary for Hezway Draxar to join Dohyun’s Party.
However, none had understood her true reason for wishing to join Dohyun’s Party—until she herself spoke of it.
“Though there are other exceptional Dragon-humans, even Terra and Weasel could not keep pace with me, forcing me to change parties once again. The same occurred when I was D-rank. But with you, Dohyun, I believe I would instead find myself chasing after you—that is the feeling I have come to hold.”
At Hezway Draxar’s words, Hanalin and Jiyuchan, now somewhat reassured, nodded in agreement.
They completely understood what she meant.
And Belmutt, too, nodded at her words.
He knew well that Dohyun, who harbored something within him that could reduce even the ‘Ruin’s Dragon Solvent’ to a mere puppy, was more than worthy of such regard.
And this was not merely the sentimental musings of a doting grandmother, but the calculated assessment of a Regent who governed and commanded an entire dimension.
‘If we continue this bond together, there is no loss to be had. Indeed, it may well become the endless glory of our Draxion.’
Having reached this conclusion, Belmutt’s eyes gleamed with determination—this agreement must be concluded at any cost.
Dohyun’s value could only ascend.
Some might argue that humans, with lifespans merely a hundredth of a dragon’s, were ultimately insignificant, but such reasoning came from profound ignorance.
And for good reason.
‘This man has already obtained ‘Transcendence,’ however faintly.’
Because Dohyun had obtained ‘Transcendence,’ however faintly, it was only natural to expect that he would eventually grasp complete ‘Transcendence.’ And should that occur, lifespan would become utterly meaningless.
Unless one lived for millennia like Belmutt, there would be nothing strange about a human body possessing a lifespan equal to that of the Dragon-human race.
Having completed his calculations up to that point, Belmutt thought to himself.
‘As long as the conditions are somewhat favorable, he’ll have no choice but to accept.’
Belmutt was thinking along those lines and preparing to negotiate with Dohyun, but at that moment.
A thin, elongated smile.
The instant Belmutt saw that slender, stretched smile playing at Dohyun’s lips, his thoughts reversed entirely.
That eerie grin was far more unsettling and chilling than the smile the Ruin’s Dragon Solvent had worn in the distant past.
A smile that suggested he would lose nothing, yet would plunder an enormous amount.
Belmutt suppressed the goosebumps rising across his skin.
Regardless, the opponent was human, which seemed absurd, so he tried to proceed again.
But.
Dohyun smiled thinly and rendered his judgment with the bearing of an impartial observer surveying all things.
‘We hold the advantageous position.’
The fact that Hezway was stepping forward so actively was identical to the moment before a massive gambit—that much was clear.
Dohyun thought thus and activated Analysis.
[An accurate assessment.]
Since Analysis confirmed it, Dohyun had no reservations either.
Of course.
‘He’s becoming a member of our party. Let’s not fleece him like a thug.’
Dohyun did possess something resembling a conscience, so he harbored no intention of extracting an exorbitant price.
However.
‘I can certainly structure the agreement favorably for us.’
The moment Dohyun reached that conclusion and finished his complete assessment of the agreement.
Belmutt sensed the unease and tried to move quickly, but he was slower than Dohyun.
“Then….”
“In other words, this agreement is because Hezway wants to join our party, right~?”
Thus, Belmutt lost the initiative.
But he couldn’t let it pass like this, so he tried to proceed cautiously for now.
“…Well.”
“That’s right!”
Just as Belmutt was trying to be cautious and hold back his words, the naive Hezway answered brightly with a beaming smile.
They say an ignorant ally is more frightening than an enemy.
This was precisely that situation.
Before Belmutt could correct him.
Dohyun’s words came slightly faster.
“Well then, our demands are quite modest.”
Demands were immediately mentioned, and Belmutt already felt the urge to object and tried to interject, but there was no opening whatsoever.
Though he had been completely played in Dohyun’s palm, Belmutt regarded him with admiration.
Just moments ago, the tension had been piercing the heavens, yet as the situation resolved swiftly, he immediately seized control of the negotiation.
Could this be the bearing of one who possessed the Ruin’s Dragon Solvent?
‘He possesses the demeanor of a sovereign.’
It was the natural bearing of a sovereign who drew the game to their own advantage—a truly masterful display.
Belmutt let out a brief exclamation of admiration and nodded, accepting that what was done was done.
However.
‘If the conditions are unreasonable, I’ll withdraw them immediately.’
With that thought, he waited for Dohyun’s demands.
Dohyun spoke first in that situation.
“First! Could this Dimensional Peace Agreement be limited to just the country where I live, rather than the entire Earth?”
At Dohyun’s question, Belmutt straightened his posture as if genuinely taken aback.
He had anticipated that Dohyun was no fool, but he hadn’t imagined he possessed wisdom sharp enough to strike at the core like this.
Particularly, Dohyun’s companions Hanalin and Jiyuchan were also somewhat surprised by his words.
To grasp such a point even in this chaotic situation.
“Ah!”
“But is there a specific reason you’re singling out South Korea?”
Hanalin immediately grasped Dohyun’s intention, while Jiyuchan, not quite understanding, asked in that manner.
Then.
“Of course. My false identity is already displayed on the Stone Tablets across all of Earth—if I don’t want to dig into that, I can’t hold a position of responsibility in a single nation.”
“Ah, that makes sense.”
“And if the agreement is made only with South Korea, no other nation on Earth—which is essentially barren compared to other dimensions—would dare to touch South Korea.”
With Dohyun’s explanation and Hanalin’s further clarification, Jiyuchan nodded as if he fully understood.
Belmutt, witnessing this, was also secretly impressed.
He had thought there were no useful humans left after the Hwadaejuk Continent, but this Dohyun Party seemed different from what he’d seen before.
They were certainly exceptional.
Thus, Belmutt nodded and answered Dohyun’s question.
“An intriguing proposal. To answer—it is possible.”
Even Hezway seemed surprised by this fact, and both Hanalin and Jiyuchan were startled by Belmutt’s words.
However.
‘He’s not surprised.’
Even as everyone else expressed their shock, Belmutt watched Dohyun—the only one who remained unshaken, smiling faintly as if he had already known this would be the case.
It was becoming somewhat frightening to consider how much he already knew, but Belmutt decided to enjoy the process.
Thus, he asked Dohyun.
“So, what do you wish to establish after limiting it to a single nation? It seems you have many other clauses you’d like to add.”
“As expected, Ruin’s Dragon Solvent.”
“Go ahead and speak.”
As Belmutt spoke, Dohyun smiled slightly and thought to himself.
He believed this peace agreement was an extremely important opportunity for him. How often did one get the chance to make an agreement with a dimension of a Superior Race like the Draxion Dimension?
Because of this, he had decided to seize this opportunity well, and this was the result.
“The basic clauses of a Dimensional Peace Agreement, as I understand it, allow both parties to cross between dimensions for mutual exchange, and additionally, if either dimension faces danger, they aid each other, and neither can cause harm to the other.”
“Continue.”
Though surprised that Dohyun knew even this much, Belmutt gestured for him to continue without interrupting, and Dohyun nodded in acknowledgment.
“Naturally, I believe there should be a clause stating that the agreement is maintained as long as our Party continues to exist.”
It was only natural that I nodded in agreement.
After all, maintaining the status quo indefinitely would only result in losses for the Draxion Dimension.
“That’s why I’d like to establish a clause stating that other nations on Earth must offer us appropriate compensation if they wish to join this agreement.”
“Huh?!” “D-Dohyun?!” “What?!” “Eh?!”
Upon hearing this, Belmutt exhaled as if sighing and looked at me, while Hanalin, Jiyuchan, and Hezway stared at me as if questioning what I’d just said.
In a Dimensional Peace Agreement, it was standard for other nations on Earth to offer compensation to the Draxion Dimension if they wished to join.
But what I’d just proposed—that I would personally claim all that compensation—left them all astonished.
Though the Dimensional Peace Agreement was supposed to be between two equal dimensions, everyone knew that in this case, the Draxion Dimension held absolute superiority.
So when I suggested I’d take that compensation for myself, it sounded at first like I was spouting madness—but the reality was somewhat different.
And only Belmutt in this room understood what I truly meant.
“Wise indeed.”
“Haha, thank you for the compliment.”
As everyone exchanged confused glances at our exchange, Belmutt kindly explained.
“After all, the only real benefit we Draxion can gain from this agreement is the ability to form a party with that fellow and maintain our connection with him.”
This implied that the value of Dohyun’s Party was something even the Draxion Dimension, home to the Superior Race of Dragon-humans, had to acknowledge.
As Hanalin and Jiyuchan reacted with surprise to Belmutt’s words, she continued.
“And truthfully, even if humanity’s nations offer us something, we who must protect Earth gain neither profit nor loss—whereas.”
“The compensation other nations provide would be quite helpful to South Korea and us, and would aid our growth.”line>
“Paradoxically, only that fellow’s party benefits us Draxion. Since that fellow needs to grow, we must provide support—but this way, we can reduce that support.”
Paradoxically, only that guy’s Party’s gain becomes Draxion’s gain. Anyway, if that guy is to grow, we need to help from our side, which means we can reduce that help.
At this interpretation, Hanalin, Jiyuchan, and Hezway couldn’t help but be amazed.
Certainly, if one expanded their perspective that far, it made sense.
Though limited to South Korea, if a crisis of destruction came to South Korea, it would be a crisis for all of Earth, so Draxion would have no choice but to defend it anyway. Conversely, even if other nations were added, the assistance would be the same, but what they’d offer wouldn’t benefit Draxion much.
But if South Korea and Dohyun’s Party received compensation and expanded the agreement’s scope, it would benefit them, and from Draxion’s perspective—where only Dohyun’s Party was beneficial—we’d actually need to support them less if we reduced our aid.
Just moments ago, the tension had been palpable, yet somehow I’d thought this through.
Hanalin, Jiyuchan, and Hezway looked at me as if unable to fathom just how exceptional my mind truly was.
And then.
“Of course, we should also specify that anyone who touches our party becomes an enemy of Draxion.”
“Hmm, good.”
Belmutt felt somewhat caught off guard by such a reasonable clause, but recognizing that Draxion’s losses had actually decreased, she could only nod in agreement.
Draxion’s losses, that is.
Meanwhile.
‘The other nations of Earth are rather pitiful.’
Though it had nothing to do with her, Belmutt found herself sympathizing with the other nations of Earth in that moment.
In any case, just as we were about to write down the clauses of the peace agreement.
“Oh right! Please add a clause stating we won’t marry into other families!”
“…Tsk.”
At my flustered interjection, Belmutt clicked her tongue.
‘Sharp little one, aren’t you.’
As Belmutt clicked her tongue at my astuteness, Hanalin suddenly spoke up after pondering for a moment.
“But to be included in the agreement, do we have to directly negotiate with other nations ourselves?”
“Huh? Yeah, you’re right.”
“Wait?”
Jiyuchan looked at Dohyun as if asking what they’d do about that, and Dohyun blinked blankly, realizing he hadn’t thought that far ahead either.
Then, as if a good idea suddenly occurred to him, he spoke.
“We can leave the membership inquiry to Han Muyeol, the Association President.”
“…Ah.” “…Sigh.”
At Dohyun’s words, Hanalin and Jiyuchan’s expressions suddenly turned pitiful, but honestly, who else could do it besides Han Muyeol?
So they decided on that, and suddenly Hezway asked.
“Then we need to decide on our party name too, don’t we? If we put your name in the charter as is, we can’t include the alias ‘Lee Suhyun’. Since it’s a charter, we have to write the truth.”
“Oh, I’ve already decided that.”
Saying so, Dohyun grinned and spoke.
“How about Overseer?”
The Overseer Party was officially formed.
* * *
After the peace agreement was signed, the entire world fell into absolute chaos.
It hadn’t spread to the public yet, but every country was on high alert, and the moment the agreement was finalized, an energy barrier erupted from the Black Gate across all of South Korea, creating a bluish dome.
It was a defensive barrier that clearly showed the resolute will to protect only South Korea.
In the midst of all this, the Dohyun Party—no, the Overseer Party—the very ones who had set the entire world ablaze, emerged from the Stone Tablet into the Korean Hunter Association.
Han Muyeol tried to question Dohyun the moment he came out, but he couldn’t.
“Ho? Is this the country where you live, Dohyun?”
Dohyun, who had emerged alongside a delicate beauty with snow-white hair and crimson eyes with horns sprouting from her head, looked at Han Muyeol with a confident grin, as if he’d obtained a reliable shield.
“Haha, this is Hezway Draxar, our party member from the Draxion Dimension! Let’s introduce ourselves properly, Association President!”
