Chapter 86
#Episode 86
As I came outside with Luna, my companions’ gazes immediately focused on us.
“What did you bring back…?”
“What! What is that?!”
“Kyaaaah, so cute!”
“So squishy…!!”
The female hunters’ attention was instantly captivated.
Luna didn’t seem to mind this attention either, enjoying their touches.
Even Jinu and Kang Cheol-u Hunter smiled faintly as they gently stroked her cheeks.
“The egg I got before hatched. You can call her Luna.”
“An egg… a dragon?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“Wow… a real dragon…”
A pure-blooded dragon, not one corrupted by demonic energy, was acting cute in my arms.
Seeing my companions melt at her smile as she moved her chubby cheeks, I couldn’t help but smile too.
Baek Do-hyeon Hunter, who was grinning while scratching Luna’s chin, casually asked.
“So what happens to that tower?”
“They say it’ll be sealed? Since there are probably other Monarchs challenging it besides me, it’ll naturally disappear once the challenges are over.”
“Hmm, that’s good then.”
All problems on Jeju Island were resolved.
Since we’d stayed for over a week, we needed to return to Seoul.
“A private jet won’t come, will it?”
“Probably not… We’ll have to take a regular flight from the airport again.”
“Sigh… I should have stolen one from the United States.”
“They might have actually given you one if you’d asked.”
As I was sighing heavily, Luna, who had been watching me, tapped my chest.
“Hm? You want to get down?”
Like the clever child she was, she nodded enthusiastically.
When I carefully set Luna down, she trembled for a moment then spread her wings wide.
I wondered if she was telling us to ride her, but then light gathered and Luna’s body began to grow.
“Huh? What? What’s happening, was it real?!”
Just as Senior had said, Luna grew enormous and roared as she spread her wings wide.
A dragon appeared with magnificent horns and well-arranged fangs, her roar thundering through the air.
She possessed a splendor and nobility different from her chubby cuteness as a hatchling.
“Master!”
“Kraaaak-!”
However, she was still young, as that massive head dove straight into my arms.
If it had been anyone else, they would have definitely broken three or four ribs.
I calmly stroked Luna’s head and said.
“What, Luna, you could talk too?”
“In this form, I can talk!”
Her strangely childlike vocabulary made me smile unconsciously.
“Excellent! Did you learn by watching me speak?”
“That’s right!”
“Ooh, well done, well done!”
When I vigorously petted her head, she made a resounding purring sound with her enlarged body.
I couldn’t tell if she was a dragon or a cat.
“So you can take us to Seoul like this?”
“If I go with Master, it’s possible!”
As Luna spoke confidently while nuzzling her head against me, I gave her horns a big hug.
“Well then, shall we see what you can do?”
“Good!”
I never thought I’d use the saddle I got from Senior so soon.
“How do I put this on?”
[Just throw it, it’ll attach itself.]
‘Oh, you were watching?’
[I’m always watching you unless something else comes up.]
‘Senior’s affection feels heavy.’
Following Senior’s words, when I threw the saddle, it floated up and automatically attached to Luna’s back.
Then seats and windshields were installed according to the number of my companions.
“Wow, what, it can do that?”
[Since it was made exclusively for you and that child, this much is easy. By the way, when she shrinks, it transforms into clothes for the child, so don’t worry.]
‘Wow, I can really feel it’s cutting-edge technology.’
[Of course. Naturally.]
My companions also seemed amazed as exclamations burst out.
“Let’s hurry up and get on to return to Seoul!”
“Wooooah!!”
“Can we really ride it!?”
“If you don’t want to ride, then don’t.”
I climbed down the ladder that had been lowered first and sat in the front seat.
Seeing this, the other companions who had been hesitating also eagerly climbed onto Luna’s back.
Luna trembled with excitement and wonder, as this was her first time ever carrying people.
“Luna, do you know where Seoul is?”
“I don’t know!”
“I’ll show you the way, so let’s go there.”
“Okay! I’ll go where master tells me to!”
Since it wasn’t a car and we just needed to go in a straight line anyway, I indicated the direction with an arrow made of death force.
Since we were departing while checking our location on my phone, there was no worry about going the wrong way.
“Master, how fast should I go?”
“Since it’s our first time, how about trying full speed?”
When I patted her back, Luna smiled brightly.
Her appearance was that of a dignified and magnificent black dragon, but inside she was just a child.
“Then, I’m taking off!”
“Yeah! Let’s g—”
As Luna flapped her wings and took off at full speed, my back was thrown backward without me realizing it.
“Wooooah!”
“Wow, if we hadn’t blocked the wind, Seo Iram would have been blown away.”
In an instant, the scenery of Jeju Island disappeared
and the endless vast ocean spread out before us.
We raced through the wind at such speed that streaks of light stretched out long behind us.
How long had it been since we left Jeju Island? Land began to appear again so quickly.
After flying like that for about 5 more minutes, Daejeon gradually came into view.
The insane speed made me dizzy, but only briefly.
“Master, there’s something ahead.”
“Huh? Ahead?”
When I stopped admiring the scenery and looked up, I could see aerial monsters flying around.
The enemies must have spotted Luna too, as they were fleeing in panic.
“Can I eat those?”
“Hmm? You can eat them?”
“Yeah, I’m hungry!”
“Then, want to try doing what you want?”
“Okay!”
Upon receiving the command, Luna opened her mouth wide and shot out black flames.
The power Luna unleashed was remarkably similar to the death force I wielded.
In an instant, all the monsters swarming ahead burst into flames and went straight into Luna’s charging mouth.
Crunch—!
“So you cook them before eating.”
“Yeah, crispy crispy!”
Creatures that appeared to be at least B-rank died in droves.
The thought that I now possessed firepower that wouldn’t be outmatched even in air superiority made even my lingering anxiety disappear.
And with this level of stability and speed too.
Indeed, there’s a reason why dragons are said to be at the apex of the ecosystem.
“It’s really incredibly fast.”
“Airplanes can step aside, with this speed?”
“Right…”
Before we knew it, Seoul gradually began to appear in the distance.
Judging by how much it had developed in the meantime, it was now functioning completely as a city.
As Seoul’s airspace slowly came into view beneath our feet, my smartphone immediately began ringing loudly.
Since I could already guess what this was about, I answered the phone with a grin.
“Hello?”
“Cha, Cha Hyeon-su Hunter. A black dragon has appeared in Seoul’s airspace right now…”
“Ah, that’s mine. Please don’t shoot it down.”
“…Excuse me?”
I could hear Hyun-cheol’s bewildered voice, so I answered in a gentle tone with a slight laugh.
“I’ll come down and explain. Would it be okay to land at the airport?”
“Ah… Yes. Yes… Th, that would be fine.”
* * *
When we landed at the airport, Hyun-cheol with a dumbfounded expression and Hyeon-i with sparkling eyes approached us.
“Hy, hyung, is that dragon real!?”
“Of course it is.”
Luna snorted with an ‘ahem’ expression.
The black flames died down as she cooled her body temperature, then returned to her original small form.
Luna flew over in her adorable form and perched on my shoulder.
Still having energy to spare, she rubbed her head against my cheek while making purring sounds.
“Wow… Wow…! Can I touch her once?”
“Yeah, she seems to like human touch.”
When I took Luna from my shoulder into my arms, Hyeon-i carefully petted Luna.
Luna leaned her head into his touch and closed her eyes.
She seemed to like Hyeon-i’s delicate touch.
“Wow… a real dragon…”
“Hyeon-i doesn’t seem happy to see us at all.”
“I almost died out there…”
“O-of course I’m happy to see you too, hyung and noona! Welcome back!”
Hyeon-i belatedly took care of his companions and guided us into the city along with Hyeon-cheol.
Seoul, which we had returned to, now boasted a grandeur that could rival the capitals of other advanced nations.
Robots stationed throughout the city were performing their respective roles.
“This reminds me of what we did in the Tower… Those androids fought in battles too.”
“What?! Wh-what did you say!?”
“Ah… I should have brought you along.”
When I belatedly gave him a brief account of what happened in the Tower, Hyeon-i snorted frantically.
“Human souls in androids? To think souls could be implemented through circuits…”
“It would have been nice if you could have come along. What a shame.”
“I’m the one who’s most disappointed…”
“It was a difficulty level where I and the other companions had to risk our lives, so there was no choice.”
“Hmm… nothing is more important than life, so I’ll just accept the sentiment.”
After sending my companions to the hotel and entering City Hall located in central Seoul, key personnel were gathered in earnest.
Most were National Assembly members, but there were also several new faces I hadn’t seen before.
“Hunter Cha Hyeon-su has arrived.”
As soon as I entered, people’s eyes lit up.
I could feel their admiration, but this wasn’t a fan meeting where I needed to greet everyone individually.
As I sat in the seat of honor that was obviously prepared for me, a beam projector immediately activated, showing an image of Seoul.
The text “100% Restoration Rate” was stylishly displayed in the upper left corner.
“The city seems to be restored well… At this rate, we could expand to Seoul’s outskirts, right?”
I had been worried that something might have gone wrong while I was away, but it seemed to have proceeded without any major issues.
“Yes, all buildings and internal systems have been completely restored, but from now on, we need something more.”
Turning to the next page revealed the [Republic of Korea Capital Defense System] project.
There were various explanations written, but to summarize, it meant building a system to protect the city based on the artificial intelligence that Hyeon-i had with him.
“This is quite a large-scale project.”
“The costs will likely exceed imagination, but if successful, we could make Seoul the safest city in the world.”
“If it succeeds, that is.”
“Yes.”
Thanks to Hyeon-i grinding away his time, technology was gradually advancing, but the problem was the other materials.
Technology alone wasn’t enough for rapid development; we needed materials to match it.
“We have S-grade magic stones prepared, so that’s no problem… Hmm…? Most things seem fine?”
“Yes, we originally obtained many materials from processing S-grade monsters, and various countries have agreed to provide support.”
“Then, are there other problems?”
“No, we have so many materials stockpiled that there are no particular issues. However, since this is a national-level project, we wanted to get final approval.”
“Yes, final approval is important… Huh?”
Final approval?
Why are you asking me for that?
At my bewildered expression, Hyeon-cheol responded with the opposite expression of ‘Then who else would we ask?’
“Wait, don’t tell me I’m the highest decision-maker now?”
“Yes.”
“…Why?”
“Is there anyone more suitable than the person who grabbed a collapsing country by the collar and pulled it back up?”
I wanted to argue back, but I had nothing particular to say.
“So, technically speaking, I’m the President?”
“In terms of title, that’s correct.”
What the hell.
I became President while briefly away on a conquest.
And it was a dictatorship declaration without even a vote!
