Chapter 284: Dracoon – 1

1

Thud…

The head of the Royal Guard knelt down. There was no need for any weapons.

His strong power, enormous mana, or strong vision was of no use. It was not even comparable to him in the first place.

Pat… Pat…

The lion’s mane, which had been stretched out in all directions with an ominous energy, was also finely twitching under Jaehwang’s touch as if he had never been hostile. As Jaehwang patted his long fangs in his mouth, the head of the Royal Guard, who was a proud pillar of the Kingdom of the Su people, laid his face down with his tail trembling.

In front of Jaehwang, he realized that he could not even be an Orc or a Goblin in front of a dragon. The hundred royal knights who were standing firm also split themselves up when Jaehwang just looked at them. It wasn’t because their conductor surrendered. The intense speculation that a human being put on as a joke made them stand back.

“Guide me.”

“Yes.” The head of the Royal Guard, who turned soft, stood in front of Jaehwang. Given the honor and pride of defending the royal family of the Kingdom of the Su people, it was a change that no one could think of.

But inside him, he could not think at all.

Maybe this was how it felt to be standing on a cliff. His brain, exposed to Jaehwang’s speculation, was already in a mess. The only thing that he would be able to do now was to fulfill Jaehwang’s orders like a well-tamed dog.

“Woahhhhhhhh…”

People in the capital city who didn’t know what’s going on were cheering for them. Upon entering the castle while following his guidance, hundreds of soldiers armed with flashing armor were soon spotted. Behind them, everyone in the castle gathered and looked at Jaehwang. Their clothes were like the aristocrats’ and were luxurious, but they were all animal-headed anyways.

The road to the castle was quite complicated. It’s not narrow, but it seems to be full of roundabouts.

After such a long walk, he reached the front of the palace in a few minutes. As he passed the Dogae Bridge and entered the area, he could see that the Su people were lining up in a different sense than before.

With sacred energy flowing through their bodies like the knights, they lowered their heads en masse toward Jaehwang.

‘They’re strong.’

Their numbers were small, but he could feel that they were really strong. Of course, his object of the comparison was only the head of the Royal Guard who was leading the way, but with their power, they could easily catch a tier-10 monster.

As they were escorted inside a moment later, on a high platform, they soon saw a huge golden-colored rooftop symbolizing L on a wide-spread red carpet. And it was the Queen of Su who sat at an angle on it.

The Queen of Su was young. Her body, wrapped in a delicate white, sky-high dress, had all kinds of brilliant jewels that made her body stand out even more.

He could almost feel her voluptuous beauty beyond her race. As she looked up at Jaehwang with an agitated and languid look, she raised herself. But her spirit was quite different when she lifted herself up. He could feel the absolute beauty of the ruler of this country. She gazed solemnly at the approaching Jaehwang. As she raised her hand, the people standing on the left and right sides of the throne pulled their weapons together. There was not much welcome in sight.

“Stop,” said the queen, but Jaehwang didn’t stop on his tracks.

The hall was covered in a commotion.

“Hmm” She didn’t welcome the ancient warrior very much. L told her to consider him as an equal to L herself through her oracle, but she knew well what her people had suffered from humans.

When the men’s mission arrived, they greeted them in a desperate attempt to forget any of their previous conflicts. The Su cooperated with them for all their convenience, but their true intentions were full of greed that drooled over the distribution of Mana Stones, which was considered the most sacred and important thing in their kingdom. In the end, the men attempted to sneak all mana stones away and committed a massacre to those who had set out to arrest them before they ended up infiltrating L’s sanctuary.

She was grateful that the Dark Earth monster, which was threatening the capital city, was killed instead. It was hard for the queen to accept him, even though L told her to greet an ancient warrior through an oracle. So, she tried to test him, but her opponent didn’t seem to want to take her test. The queen tried to order her guardians to arrest the warrior…

…but she could not lift her hand.

The closer Jaehwang approached her, the more relaxed her expression began to be. And then, as soon as Jaehwang stood in front of where she was standing, the queen’s expression turned loose and was completely untied. This was not simply a phenomenon that happened because Jaehwang was attractive or because he was strong.

It was because of one of the myths that Jaehwang had…

[Goongi’s master [class S]].

[Goongi’s master] wasn’t originally a myth that would end in class S. It meant that he owned a different god, but their relationship was so secretive that it’s not well known. Nevertheless, it was only because it was a combination of the two gods.

The Myths did not have a single effect like a skill.

There were many influences that affected the connection between Goongi and Jaehwang or the two. Their synergy would be amplified when they would fight together because they share their spirits. And there’s another little impact like this…

‘Su People’s affinity increased by 30%.’

The essence of Goongi was the spirit of the tiger and the goddess. Tigers and lions were similar anyway, and that’s why this ability works. The head of the Royal Guard was not just playing tricks on Jaehwang.

That’s because there was the power of Goongi lurking inside Jaehwang. The queen of the Su had lost her mind. Then, with a sly gesture, she approached Jaehwang gently. Her rejection against a human being has long gone and soon, she behaved like an accepting wife towards her husband that her god had nominated for her. She raised her hand and touched Jaehwang’s heart. The mysterious aura that emanated from Jaehwang made her more excited.

But her intentions were bound to fail.

SWOOSH

Someone stopped her hand and at the same time, a face popped out of Jaehwang’s chest. It was Goongi. Imitating herself as a Su, her face was marked with a mottled pattern of tiger and long fangs in her mouth.

“How dare you try to touch him, you bitch!”

The Su people’s queen sat back, oblivious to her dignity. When their queen collapsed, the countless Su people around them tried to jump in surprise but a moment later, they were all mesmerized by a woman escaping from the body of the ancient warrior.

Ziiiing!!!

With a radiant look on her face, she looked down at the Queen of the Su tribe with an arrogant expression.

“This bitch is dashing a nasty smell somewhere.” Two ears popped out in between Goongi’s hair. It was her who dared not see the approach of another female approaching her significant one. She did suppress her anger a lot.

“Krrrrrrrrrrrr”

An explosive burst of anger began to fill the palace. With that, a red aurora formed a figure in her body.

“Oh…”

“Ah…that is…”

It was a huge winged tiger. It was not an illusion. The mere sight of it made the people’s head drop. Its irresistible and powerful stature had the power to defeat the will of resistance just by its presence.

“Goddess.”

“Goddess.”

Everyone in the palace fell flat on the floor. No one resisted. No, no one tried to resist her at all. Although the appearance of that god was quite different from their original god “L,” they were unable to overcome their passions for another god, wagging their tails to the fullness of their spirit that they had never felt with L.

It was obvious. No matter how long they served L, L was a dragon. Although she was an absolute deity, it did not bridge the fundamental differences of their species. It was just her governance through oppression, fear, and termination that kept them in place, but the Goongi that appeared now was like the ultimate perfection of the Su people, their wavelengths were so finely matched.

Soon after, on the throne where the Queen of the Su people was sitting, Goongi sat at a slant angle, pompously looking down at the Su people. Even the queen of the Su tribe was sitting on her knees in front of her, looking at her with ecstatic eyes.

Only Jaehwang was sitting next to the throne, scratching his head as he appreciated this whole scene.

“Something’s gone wrong…”

L, flying in the sky with Goongi and Jaehwang on his back, was now as complicated as she could be. They did succeed at making the Su people recognize Jaehwang but what made it terrible was the feeling that Goongi made him feel like a sidekick.

Whether it’s Goongi or Jaehwang, it doesn’t matter but the problem was that the amount of power flowing to Goongi was exploding. Now they were in a hurry, but L had a bad feeling that she will need a lot of time to recover her original divinity in the future. No, what if these two wanted to take over Elus?

‘I am raising a wild beast in my own home.’

“Is it still far away?”

“Soon.”

“Let’s go fast.”

“I am not your means of transportation!”

“Yes, you are a slave, just go faster.”

“Ha.. fine.” L, who answered Jaehwang’s question by gnashing his teeth, increased her speed. She couldn’t teleport to the capital of the Dragoons.

This was not because of its location or distance, but because the southernmost tip of the continent, where the legacy of the ancient people of the past remains strong, was their destination. In the capital of the Dracoons, there were still magical defense facilities in existence built by the ancient people, one of which limited the movement of space near the capital.

That’s why L was moving with her body like this.

“But I hear that the Dracoons serve the Red Dragon Al. Is it okay for you to go?” Jaehwang asked. Whether it’s role play, Al is the demon god and the L is in the position of the good god. Jaehwang asked out of doubt whether it would be okay for L to give an oracle while it’s not her that the Dracoons serve.

“Sometimes we switch roles so it doesn’t matter.”

With that said, the golden fuselage of L began to turn red. The shape of her horn had also changed oddly and her tail had grown a bit longer. Her appearance was similar to that of the Red Dragon.

“You’re such a fraud,” Jaehwang said.

“Huh.” L wanted to say something but now, she’s not only tied to Jaehwang but he’s also a necessity for Al’s treatment. While L was murmuring her complaints inside her mouth, one of Goongi’s eyebrows cracked up as she laid on Jaehwang’s knee and munched on the chocolate that Jaehwang had put in her mouth.

“Hmm?”

When she raised her head, Jaehwang, who shared her senses with him, also squinted his eyes and looked to one side. And what the two felt now was felt by L, too.

“That’s pretty big. Is that the guy named Ruler?” L’s voice became a little tense.

A considerable presence was felt beyond the horizon. The problem was that the place beyond the horizon was the capital of the Dracoons, but Jaehwang just shook his head as a response. Jaehwang knew that being.

“No, it’s one of the Ruler’s men.”

Jaehwang and Goongi have seen him. It was among the last ones to show up when they met Ruler in the Dark Earth and fell into a trap and faced super-massive monsters.

They didn’t fight it.

He wanted to avoid unnecessary fights, but at the same time, it was too burdensome to fight that one while having the anxiety factors called Ruler. But now, he could feel its energy in the direction of the Dracoon’s capital.

“Hmm.” L stiffened her face at Jaehwang’s answer and raised her altitude. As she soared to the top of the cloud, her visibility widened and soon, the situation on the ground was revealed.

“It’s big.”

There saw a huge gate that almost devoured a mountain. It was so overwhelming that it was even bigger than the ones on earth, and there were massive monsters crawling out of there and they were all moving in one direction. And there stood a huge fortress that seemed to have carved a mountain out of its entirety where the battle between the Monster and the Dracoon was now raging.
