Getting out of the palace without anyone noticing is not an easy task.
Many maids and people are waiting just outside the door, and even more soldiers are waiting when you leave the palace. It was impossible to secretly pass through the gates of the imperial palace.
However, the dragon passed through the wall as if nothing happened. The dragon had the ability to create a ‘warp gate’ on the wall and connect space to space.
As soon as I left the gate, I was outside the island in the blink of an eye.
‘It’s similar to subspace, but different.’
It can move at high speed and seem like teleportation, but there is no magic to jump through space itself. Such high-dimensional concept magic died a thousand years ago.
The concept of magic that has already disappeared is used as naturally as breathing.
I was surprised, but didn’t show it.
In the world of dragons, this special ability would be very common. No dragon would be surprised by each one of them.
“Wyvern?”
However, when I saw the ‘means of flight’ prepared outside the system, I had no choice but to ask.
Wyvern is a type of flying monster that lives only in high mountains. When it spreads its wings, its size easily exceeds 5m, and it is famous for never being raised by humans.
About 100 years ago, even in the Empire, the anecdote of capturing a large number of Wyverns to create the ‘Wyvern Knights’, but failing all of them, was already famous.
Ten such wyverns were tied together.
It seems to have been trained to link up with a small boat and launch it into the air.
‘The dragon can control monsters.’
It’s no coincidence that Balmung brought a large number of monsters from the Lokari Mountains. Certainly the dragons were learning how to move monsters.
If I can control monsters, monsters of the highest level, such as wyverns, I might be able to create with my own hands the Order of the Dragon, which failed a hundred years ago.
“I’m going to ride this.”
“Doesn’t it fly directly?”
Of course, if you fly directly on his back, you can inject Zero’s nanomachines. You could secretly hack it, or enter a kill code to self-destruct or submit.
However, while the dragon persuaded me, it did not let go of its guard against me.
When asked with a little regret, the dragon tilted his head.
“You are asking something strange. Isn’t moving to the main body consuming a lot of mana?”
Moving with the main body itself consumes an enormous amount of mana. It was because of the efficiency of mana that he was usually in human form.
Then, the three dragons boarded the ship in turn.
I also slowly climbed into the boat.
‘Wyvern doesn’t refuse.’
Fortunately, there was no rejection from the Wyvern. Perhaps because they were thoroughly trained, they didn’t even care if I went up or not.
Hwaaak!
Before long, the Wyverns spread their wings.
The magic crystals that decorated the ship scattered light, and a barrier of its own was opened.
It seems that it was thanks to that barrier that I moved to the vicinity of the island without being noticed.
‘It is a level of magic stone that is hard to find even in the empire.’
A royal grade magic stone that goes beyond the superlative grade. That was too much to get hit by.
Only 1% of the magic crystals brought in from all over the continent were judged to be of the highest grade, and among them, those that were judged to be of the royal grade converged to 0.01%.
The treasure, which could not be obtained even if it wanted to because of the lack of quantity, was only used to spread a barrier for the concealment of the ship.
flutter!
Wyverns flap their wings and the boat rises. After that, it started flying at high speed.
“What should I call you?”
“Hmm, call me Adolph. It means ‘noble wolf’.”
Wearing eagle, wild boar, and frog masks, they were divided but one. The first one that answered me was the eagle mask, but now the answer is the wild boar mask.
It was only the body that was divided, but it seemed like they were sharing everything.
“Adolph. Why are you divided into three?”
“The power was so great that I shared it. When she molts into an old dragon, she will peck it in three.”
I didn’t ask what powers he had.
It seemed that each dragon possessed different types of authority and power.
But it was just astonishing. How strong was it to split the power?
Level 155. I didn’t even expect what the three would be when combined.
“Dragon of the North, haven’t you evolved into an old dragon yet?”
[There is no data that has escaped to ‘old dragon’.]
According to Zero’s answer, he told the truth.
“Did not do it.”
“Amazing. To kill an old dragon while being Jackie Chan?”
Adolf was genuinely surprised. The northern dragon’s slaying of the old dragon as the 10th feat was quite famous among dragons.
I thought he would have escaped as an old dragon, but he’s still a Jackie Chan.
How strong would it be if she shed herself as an ancient dragon?
‘It could be as strong as a road level.’
Among the world’s dominant dragons, the most powerful Lord-class dragon.
It is said to have power comparable to that of a god, and the leader of the Dragon Blood Society was that Lord-class dragon.
It’s good that dragons have high potential to join the Dragon Blood Society. However, the appearance of the super rookie could be a little awkward for the dragons who wanted to become the 13th god.
After flying for three days and nights without rest, we arrived at a place.
The end of the world, a place close to the unpurified Pandemonium.
On top of the barren cliff, there was a castle of enormous size.
Adolf said as he got off the boat.
“Welcome to ‘Hemolytic Castle’.”
*
The Demon Realm is a place that humans cannot reach.
It was a hell where winding cliffs and desolate lands were endlessly spread out, and even if one entered, one could never come back alive.
There was a hemolytic castle right next to the demon realm full of radioactive materials.
‘The boundary between the demon world and the middle world…’
This hemolytic property served as a sort of boundary.
It’s what keeps the monsters of the demon realm locked up.
oh oh oh!
Kyaaa!
Right next to it, numerous monsters are popping out from a place that looks like a demon world.
However, before long, it repeatedly burned as if it had been struck by lightning.
“What is that?”
“It is a curtain of lightning that Lord put up. It burns the demonic beings beyond the veil without any doubt.”
“Are you stopping the demonic invasion?”
“Yes. The purpose of the Dragon Blood Society is to balance the world. It is also the mission of the Dragon Blood Society to prevent beings from the Demon Realm who disturb the balance from reaching the middle world.”
It means that the world is peaceful because the Dragon Blood Society exists.
A bit arrogant, but true.
If monsters infected with radioactive materials had roamed the continent, mankind could have disappeared altogether.
They said there was no need to fight among the dragons, but they are a more peaceful group than I thought.
However, my thoughts were shattered immediately after entering the castle.
‘Dragon disease.’
giant dragon soldiers.
Soldiers made of dragon bones filled the entire castle.
【Lv. 80]
【Lv. 85]
Each dragon soldier exceeds level 80. The number is innumerable. There were so many monsters that even a sword master could barely deal with them.
Even if only those dragon soldiers invaded, no country would be able to stop it. Quite a few countries will be trampled on overnight. It didn’t seem easy even with all the power of the Empire.
“Finally, the final candidate has arrived.”
After walking for a while through the inside of the maze-like castle, a huge cavity appeared.
More dragons were waiting inside the joint.
‘Three.’
That number was three.
Four if you add Adolf.
‘her.’
I was speechless. I felt like I would be overwhelmed by the presence of dragons. But what’s even more surprising than that is the numbers that popped up in their heads.
【Lv. 190]
【Lv. 189]
I was about to go crazy with numbers far beyond my imagination.
[Relieves tension.]
[Heart rate stabilizes.]
If it wasn’t for Zero, it would have been difficult to maintain composure.
However, not everyone’s level was that high.
Except for the top two, the other one was on the same level as Adolf.
‘I’m not wearing a mask.’
Also, they weren’t wearing masks.
‘Zero. Record it.’
[Yes, Master.]
dragon faces. Some even had the same face. Dragons with the same face fight instinctively, but they didn’t seem to care.
It is proof that he is not a young dragon swayed by his instincts.

Just then, a large man with a rock-hard body and an angular face approached.
“Adolph. Why are you so late?”
“I was late because there was no guy I liked.”
“Is that why you brought such a worthless bastard?”
sniff sniff!
The man who came near smelled it and frowned.
“Did you drag your body while playing? Where is the body going?”
“Alec. He is the Dragon of the North.”
“······ Dragon of the North? Who is this guy?”
The man, Alec, gave a look of surprise.
Adolf even explained.
“It’s been a while since I woke up from the seal, so I heard that the main body doesn’t have the strength to move.”
“You unlocked the seal from humans in a thousand years? Well, I know.”
“He recognized at a glance that I was one.”
“… Hoo?”
Only then did Alec’s eyes change.
The fact that Adolf is three and one at the same time was a problem so sophisticated that it was impossible to recognize the same purpose. There was not a single dragon that was guessed based on what it saw.
Except for loading.
‘Hmm, sure…’
Alec glanced up and down and nodded.
The dragon of the north was a dragon dealing with ‘curse’. The curse in his mana was so powerful that it was said to have killed even an old dragon.
And Alec was also a dragon dealing with ‘death’.
No creature could be free from his influence. As long as he was a living being, he had to be instinctively afraid of him, and the same was true of dragons.
All dragons who saw him for the first time trembled with fear. Old dragons quickly overcome their fear, but young dragons cannot even resist.
However, whether it was a young dragon or an old dragon, everyone was bound to tremble at least a little at the moment of their first encounter.
But, this guy.
‘Aren’t you afraid of me?’
don’t tremble
extremely calm
The Dragon of the North has long been shrouded in veil.
However, I ignored it because it was sealed by humans a thousand years ago, but it didn’t seem like a guy to be taken lightly.
Alec changed the subject.
“Anyway, since Adolf has finally brought the last candidate, we can start judging.”
It’s a judge.
You mean there is a separate test?
‘Did you mean that you can join if three people agree?’
Looking at it now, it seemed that the two high-level dragons and Adolf were the judges.
I understood why Adolf had brought me here in a hurry.
He was also playing the role of bringing in candidates to join the Dragon Blood Society.
“I can’t see one. There must be three candidates?”
Adolf asked.
Then Alec clicked his tongue.
“The Lord gave permission for him, so there is no need for an examination.”
“Rod?”
“yes. He seemed to like him quite a bit.”
“Hasn’t it been five hundred years since Lord himself allowed admission? Who is it?”
It is unusual for Lord to bypass the examination and allow himself to join.
Adolf asked as if he had heard it for the first time, and Alec shrugged.
“Malfiel.”
“That’s the first name I’ve heard of.”
“Well. He’s not a well-known guy. You’ll see it when the screening is over, so check it out then.”
As if it was a little vague to explain, Alec said in a vague manner.
‘… Malfiel?’
For a moment, I wondered if I had heard it wrong.
It’s Malfiel. Why did that goddamn name pop up all of a sudden?
