Chapter 96

#Episode 96

What remained were the Knights of the Black Sun who had swarmed here.

Knowing where this place was and somehow having gathered in such numbers, they were all sharpening their swords with vicious killing intent.

Whether their goal from the beginning had been to kidnap the Golden Dragon and turn it into a Black Dragon, they were openly showing their disappointment.

“Disgusting bastards…”

If that had been all there was to it, I wouldn’t have said anything.

Their gazes were now fixed on Luna.

My face naturally crumpled at their greedy stares.

I might not care about other things, but I absolutely couldn’t tolerate them touching my companions.

“Want to handle this yourself?”

“Yeah, I’m too annoyed to hold back.”

“Ah, geez, look at that…”

My companions gathered around Luna as if they’d seen enough.

“You think you alone can face all of us?”

“You’ve gone completely insane, has your arrogance reached its peak?”

“Even if you’re a Monarch, you’re still within human limits. We’ll make you regret this.”

These trash who regarded others’ lives as less than insects chattered away.

Their muttering began to grate on my ears.

Boiling death completely consumed this space.

Within the pitch-black space dyed with death, the Black Fortress instantly captured the enemies.

In truly the blink of an eye, chains pierced through the limbs of the captured enemies.

In just about a second, the knights fixed in the sky couldn’t even resist once and could barely get their words out properly.

“Tell your master clearly.”

One by one, darkness shot like bullets pierced through their hearts.

“That I will no longer tolerate this. Live your entire life in fear, running from me.”

With those words, a hole was punched through the last one’s heart.

For all their talk about stealing the Black Dragon and whatnot, it was a rather anticlimactic end.

My companions watching from behind shrugged as if they’d expected this.

However, the Guardian Spirits seemed not to have expected such an easy victory, their mouths hanging open as they alternately looked between me and the enemies’ corpses.

“It’s safe now. Don’t worry.”

“Ah… y-yes, of course.”

“For now, just in case, let’s bring the Golden Dragon inside first.”

“Under…stood.”

The Guardian Spirits followed my words in a daze.

* * *

The first thing the awakened Golden Dragon did was kneel before me and bow its head.

And this was in the presence of Seo, the Association President of China.

“Why are you doing this when everyone’s watching?”

When I tried to help it up in surprise, the Golden Dragon instead pressed its head to the ground with even more force.

“Because everyone is watching, I act this way all the more. Please firmly establish that you are above.”

“…Just get up for now.”

No matter how much I might be above, there are relations between the two countries.

It was fortunate that only Seo was here right now, but if there had been other people present as well, this would have caused problems in many ways.

I didn’t want to cause harm to a country that had spared no aid to our dying nation.

“If my benefactor says so, then I understand.”

The Golden Dragon didn’t seem to be the type to forget favors, its eyes full of gratitude.

“I don’t want anything grand, I just need to be able to take what was promised.”

“Of course, I’ve already prepared it.”

At the Golden Dragon’s command, one of the Guardian Spirits brought a golden box.

Inside it was the Golden Scale Guardian Orb.

“Then, I too shall fulfill my duty.”

And Banghaelyeong, who had been waiting beside us, bowed to the Golden Dragon and then put his hand into his own heart.

The Golden Dragon looked at Banghaelyeong with resolute eyes and soon nodded.

Banghaelyeong naturally extracted a silver orb from within his body and placed it in the box.

Not only the Guardian Orb imbued with brilliant golden energy, but Banghaelyeong’s heart orb also had a shield emblem carved within the silver orb.

Something that serves the same role as a heart.

Was this the same as giving up one’s life?

“Well then, shall we try using it right away before I change my mind?”

“I never thought I’d obtain this so easily…”

“Easily? Without us, this would have been a difficulty level that meant certain death, you know?”

“…Now that I think about it, you’re right?”

I positioned Kang Cheol-u Hunter in front.

Then using Death Bloom, I inscribed the Golden Scale Guardian Orb and Banghaelyeong’s heart orb into his heart.

The two treasures that began to be quietly absorbed soon shone with complete brilliance.

Kang Cheol-u’s entire body, having accepted the two divine objects, glowed with golden light, then gradually began returning to human form.

A lustrous sheen began flowing from Kang Cheol-u Hunter’s skin.

The various injuries, big and small, that had accumulated during his tanker career were completely healed, and he had returned to an appearance resembling his early twenties.

“…It changes this much.”

Kang Cheol-u Hunter himself seemed to feel the difference as he clenched and unclenched his fist, wearing an expression of disbelief.

If the previous Kang Cheol-u Hunter was like a reliable shield, now he felt like a massive fortress wall with no room for even a needle to penetrate.

“How about it, Kang Cheol-u Hunter? Want to have a sparring match?”

“I’m a tanker, so sparring isn’t possible. Please do what we always do.”

“A defense test, you mean? Got it.”

As we entered China’s pride, the large-scale training ground, facilities that seemed to be based on Shaolin Monastery appeared.

It was magnificently decorated with gold and red dragons, but I couldn’t help but worry whether it could withstand what was coming.

“Then, please!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Kang Cheol-u Hunter’s protective barrier began to deploy.

“Wow… even I wouldn’t be able to break through this easily…”

Kang Cheol-u Hunter’s previous barrier was literally at the level of protecting against omnidirectional attacks.

But now it was like he had built some kind of guardian fortress.

Of course, that didn’t mean it was unbreakable.

“This really won’t be our responsibility if it breaks, right?”

At my question, Golden Dragon and Seo nodded simultaneously.

“Actually, we’d appreciate it if you could break it. It’s a place that has never been broken once in Chinese Hunter history.”

“If you put it that way.”

A scythe was inappropriate for a single-point breakthrough.

I switched to a spear and lowered my stance.

The momentum that began surging like a storm from the spear tip gradually started intensifying.

The wind grew fierce as if determined to pierce through with death, and the rotation increased speed to a level invisible to the naked eye.

As strength entered my legs planted firmly on the ground, I instinctively knew.

That couldn’t be pierced with something like a thrown spear.

I had to put my entire body into the spear and charge with full force to even have a chance.

“Huuuuuu-“

Hot breath began leaking through my teeth.

Like a bull snorting before charging, I gathered my breath and exploded forward with all my leg strength.

The scenery stretched long as my charging spear collided with Kang Cheol-u Hunter’s shield.

Kwaaaaang-!

Kang Cheol-u Hunter’s golden shield and my death’s black spear collided, creating a tornado.

The shockwave shattered all the reinforced glass windows and cracked the surrounding floor with a splitting sound.

But the clash of forces wasn’t over yet.

Kang Cheol-u Hunter, gritting his teeth, trembled as he took one step, then another, ultimately succeeding in blocking my attack.

Gripping the spear that had lost its driving force, I also stepped back about two paces.

“Wow, that’s incredibly solid. Normally something like this would break.”

It was strong enough to make me stick out my tongue in amazement.

Kang Cheol-u Hunter also seemed shocked that he had actually managed to block it, staring alternately at his hands gripping the shield with a dumbfounded expression.

Even Golden Dragon and Seo widened their eyes in surprise before sticking out their tongues while looking at Kang Cheol-u Hunter.

That’s how difficult it was to block the strike from just moments ago.

“Then, shall we try going a bit harder this time?”

“…Yes, please come at me seriously once.”

“Seriously… that’s pushing it, but I’ll try hitting you with about 60 percent.”

I created distance again and lightly loosened up my body.

It might seem stubborn, but knowing the limits of an allied tanker is a very, very important matter.

So for the safety of my comrades, I had a duty to find out Kang Cheol-u Hunter’s limits.

Of course, I was still very satisfied so far.

“Then, here I come again.”

This time the weapon was also a spear.

Among weapons that attack with body weight in a single-point breakthrough, nothing was more lethal than this.

I quietly held my breath and concentrated my mind on the spear tip.

If I had attacked somewhat flashily before, this time I would focus entirely on a single-point breakthrough.

The spear tip, honed, honed, and honed again, glowed faintly.

The spear, sharpened to an unknown degree, cut through the air with a chilling sound.

I gripped the spear and lowered my stance.

The power itself felt much weaker compared to before, but Kang Cheol-u Hunter was much more tense now.

This time, the god of death dwelt in my toes.

It wasn’t like when fighting Senior or other Monarchs where the god of death descended upon my entire body, but the speed alone would be frighteningly fast.

There wasn’t even a sound.

Pit-!

The spear tip that had arrived before anyone knew it touched Kang Cheol-u’s shield.

And it began to slowly pierce through.

No matter how desperately Kang Cheol-u tried to block the attack, this was an attack in the realm of cutting.

The protective barrier that had already shown a gap once was helplessly cut by the spear blade and was ultimately penetrated.

The spear tip had pierced through and the spear shaft had also penetrated to some extent.

Since any further contest would be meaningless, I lightly pulled out the spear.

“I think this settles the match, don’t you?”

“As expected, I’m still far from reaching my lord’s level. I’ll train even harder.”

“That attitude looks good on you.”

After reverse-summoning Desperado and returning, Seo bowed and offered me a potion, similar to how Reynold had done.

“Thanks to you, I got to see a spectacle that money couldn’t buy.”

“Don’t mention it, thank you.”

I downed a potion and quickly looked around at my companions again.

Just as I was about to call Luna to return to South Korea like this.

As if it had been waiting, the Golden Dragon appeared and stood next to Luna.

“It seems like a child that was just born… Are you deliberately not taking human form?”

As if recognizing a fellow dragon, Luna didn’t show any wariness toward the Golden Dragon that had suddenly approached.

I was right beside her anyway.

Luna increased her size and opened her mouth.

“Human form? How do you do that?”

“Hm? You don’t know?”

The Golden Dragon tilted its head and shifted its gaze to me.

I smiled awkwardly and said.

“She’s a child who grew up in rather special circumstances. It hasn’t even been a month since she was born.”

“…Excuse me?”

I could only nod to the Golden Dragon who asked back as if questioning whether it had heard correctly.

“A month…”

The Golden Dragon, roughly guessing that something had happened, looked at Luna and drew some kind of formula with its finger.

It was a formula incomprehensible to humans, but after looking at Luna, it asked.

“Do you understand?”

“Umm… wait a moment.”

Luna made some squeaking sounds for a moment, then her body began to change.

She transformed into the appearance of a child about five years old.

With dragon horns, a chubby tail, and wings.

“Puhaha-!”

“Kyaaaah Luna!!”

She was a child with plump cheeks and dark hair.

Immediately, Rey and Yeo-ul, and even Hunter Baek Do-hyeon and Seo Iram rushed over to hug and pet Luna.

Even to me, someone who doesn’t usually show reactions to cute things, it was heart-achingly adorable.

While all my companions were intoxicated by Luna’s cuteness and couldn’t get their bearings for a moment.

Belatedly, the main event quietly poked its head in.
