A few minutes before the dragon chews and swallows Gracius whole.
― Grump… .
The black-scaled dragon was lying on his stomach as if exhausted, closing his eyes and exhaling quietly.
And there were two people guarding the dragon’s surroundings and carefully examining the condition.
The two were none other than Han Soo-young and Minerva.
Han Soo-young carefully fiddled with the dragon’s scales and glanced to the side with a squint.
Standing right next to her was Minerva, looking at the black-scaled dragon with a complicated gaze.
“So now you mean… Are you saying that Jihyuk is exhausted?”
At Han Soo-young’s question, Minerva nodded.
She tore the hem of the clothes she was wearing naturally and was wiping the dragon’s eyes with it.
“It is true. To be precise… It would be more accurate to say it was turbidity rather than exhaustion.”
“Turquoise… la.”
“Dragons can be said to be creatures that do not deserve the title of the strongest.”
Noticing Minerva’s gesture, the dragon instinctively turned his head to help her clean it, but at that action, Han Soo-young unknowingly pouted and stuck out her lips.
“Even though there are individual differences, it can be said that there are very few creatures that can defeat dragons in general. Excessive stamina and tireless endurance, hard scales and sharp teeth and claws, agile speed that does not match the size of the body, a gigantic body… However, the dragon’s greatest weapon remains. Even you who walk the path of magic must know what it is.”
Han Soo-young nodded and answered.
“horsepower.”
“okay. it’s magic Infinite magic power that doesn’t dry out even if you scoop it out… It is not for nothing that the heart of a powerful dragon is considered the best material and catalyst.”
Minerva said, wiping the dragon’s body with a tap and skill.

On the way, a pleasant sound came out of the dragon’s throat, grunting.
Han Soo-young was slightly moved, and Minerva didn’t show it, but she couldn’t hide the rattle of her tail.
“… Ii covered my raw blood and ate my whole heart. And in the process of embracing my power as a seven-evil sect, I learned the art of covering my skin.”
At that, Han Soo-young looked up at the dragon with a startled expression on her face.
It was because she knew how dangerous the dragon’s raw blood and heart were.
‘I wonder why this happened… !’
As Han Soo-young was making a serious expression, a small laugh was heard from next to him.
“Well, your worries have nothing to do with it, so don’t worry too much. As I said before, it has absolutely nothing to do with the reason why Ii is here. The reason Ii is so exhausted is that she just exhaled as much as she could before.”
Minerva hinted, as if not to worry, whether he noticed Han Soo-young’s thoughts.
Han Soo-young firmly shut her mouth at the sight of her protruding and protruding her upper body with her claws sticking out of sight because she was obscured by the dragon.
It’s amazing, she muttered to herself.
“Simply put… It could be said that it was overworked because it was the first time I took the form of a dragon.”
“Did you overdo it?”
“To explain it from a human point of view, it’s like running with all your might all day on the subject you learned to walk for the first time. It would be strange not to be tired. … Above all, it was the first time for me too, so I had no circumstances to tell him.”
Minerva said so and gently stroked the back of the dragon’s nose.
“… This is all because of my foolishness. Thanks to you, I made you go through some trouble. I don’t have the face to look straight at you.”
Seeing her muttering in a sad voice, Han Soo-young quietly blinked her eyes.
She was terribly confused by a series of unexpected situations, but at least a few things were clear to her.
‘Crazy, really.’
Han Soo-young let out a small sigh so as not to be heard by Minerva.
Thousands of faces were passing through her mind.
Jin Ye-seul, Lee Ye-eun, Lee Yu-na… .
There were also the faces of many people, including Yuzuki Horie and Alice Blesbuck, who were merely girlfriends with Yoo Ji-hyuk.
But suddenly, in the middle of it, Minerva’s face was engraved.
It’s also very clear.
‘Now do and do until the Chilakjong… Who would believe this, damn it.’
Whether he knew her heart or not, the dragon turned his head toward Minerva as if asking for more.
Seeing that, she burst into a small smile and said, ‘You’re such an idiot. Come on, I’ll take your pamper as much as I can.’ He muttered, carefully wiping his scales.
“… … .”
Seeing that, Han Soo-young also took out a handkerchief.
And then, he reached out to wipe the scales that were strangely conspicuous from before.
As many magical powers are strangely intertwined, I thought that if I were to compare it to a human, this place would have come together.
― Cruah!?
“Ahhh!?”
However, as soon as he touched the scales, the dragon struggled with surprise, and Han Soo-young was also frightened and let out a shriek.
The dragon, who was struggling to turn around, barely remembered that Han Soo-young and Minerva were right next to him, so he barely stopped moving.
Han Soo-young, who made eye contact with him looking down with his eyes wide open as if surprised, waved his hand in embarrassment.
“Mi, sorry. surprised? I was going to clean it too… .”
“Looks like you’ve touched the wrath.”
Then, Minerva, with her eyes wide open, muttered in wonder.
“It’s a repulsion that it’s hard to find even if you’re determined, but how the hell did you first touch it… . Anyway, be careful. For dragons, it is a very sensitive and sensitive area.”
Seeing Han Soo-young’s face burning red, Minerva shook her head slightly.
Then he nodded his head as he looked around the dragon’s eyes wriggling as if surprised.
“Anyway, that’s what I expected. Now, his physical condition appears to be around the age of adulthood in Hatchling. Perhaps if you refine your abilities further, you will be able to transform into a perfect adult. Maybe it could even change into the form of a dragon like a hatchling.”
“Hey, how do you know that?”
To Su-yeong Han’s question, Minerva immediately answered without a sign of bother.
“Yeah, because I was a dragon. Do you too, when you look at the same human beings, don’t you notice whether the person is a child, an adult, or an old man? You can understand it in that context.”
Saying that, Minerva pointed her fingers all over the dragon’s body.
“Look, doesn’t it look strangely folded between the wing joints? This is the most representative evidence that can be seen in the hatchling just before becoming an adult. There are the appearance of the claws, the color of the nasal membrane, the shape of the tail… All of which proves that he is still in the process of going from a young hatchling to an adult… .”
Han Soo-young, who was nodding at Minerva’s explanation, suddenly heard a strange sound.
Write, gulp.
It sounded like a rush of saliva being swallowed.
“… yes?”
“Well? Why is that, dear?”
Han Soo-young tilted her head at Minerva’s unpretentious appearance.
What the hell was that noise?
“uh… Nope. I must have heard it wrong.”
“It’s bland.”
Minerva put a hand on her chin, making an effortless expression on her face.
Fortunately, no one seemed to have noticed his ugliness just before.
She nodded her head slightly and looked at the dragon that had just begun to sleep again.
“Anyway, his body is still only a child, but inside is my heart and blood… So, it can be said that it is filled with things that are incomparable to any other dragon.”
Han Soo-young nodded as if understanding her explanation.
“It sounds like there is an imbalance. An imbalance between the body and the inside.”
“right. In the meantime, I vomited out the breath with the output matched to my body. That’s not something a young hatchling’s body could bear… . Thanks to that, it seems that most of my stamina was wasted to replenish that power.”
“That’s why you continued to sleep and moan like this.”
Han Soo-young looked at the dragon with pity.
In the meantime, the dragon was nodding, shaking his head or rustling his body in order to somehow come to his senses.
In the meantime, Han Soo-young’s expression became even more serious when she saw that he cut himself with his claws and blood began to flow from his mouth.
“… So what should I do now?”
Han Soo-young clearly remembered that Minerva had asked her for help even as she bowed her head.
Judging from his past appearance, he really doesn’t want to admit it, but Minerva was also genuinely worried about Yoo Ji-hyuk’s well-being.
So I could believe it.
“What can I do?”
“It’s simple, let yourself be your guide.”
“Guide?”
Minerva nodded.
“Under the current circumstances, it would be unreasonable to make him move on his own. It was because he had already used the power of his body to the limit. But if I come into contact with his body and circulate the magic inside him… You can keep moving according to his will.”
Here she rubbed her lips with her finger and muttered playfully.
“Well… Yeah, let’s say I’m a rower. Then, will you be able to understand roughly your role?”
“… Can you tell me to guide Ji-hyuk and guide him?”
Minerva smiled as if satisfied with Han Soo-young, who asked the question like an absurd one.
“Accurate.”
“De, how do I control the dragon? No matter how real Jihyuk is, he is now a dragon! I can’t possibly do such a thing… !”
“no. Because it is you, only you can do it.”
To Su-yeong Han, who was bewildered, Minerva spoke in a confident voice.
“It’s not my intention, but living in his shadow… I found out about his close friends. And you were among them, and it was also known that you were very talented in relation to the spatial series.”
“I have already fallen and fallen, but I assert that my name still remains at least a trace… I’ve never seen anyone as talented as you. If you are like that, you will be able to skillfully direct directions and actions without burdening him enough.”
“… Yes, it would have been impossible if it had been to lead a wild dragon by tying the reins. But he is a human, as you well know. not a dragon I will hold on to his spirit, and if you lead correctly, he will not go astray or do anything.”
“Your request, he can’t resist.”
“… … .”
Han Soo-young was silent for a moment at her words.
“great.”
He slowly nodded his head as if he knew.
Then Minerva smiled brightly enough that even Han Soo-young lost her mind for a moment.
“Okay, then there’s no need to delay any longer.”
“uh? Now, wait… Heck!”
Minerva snatched Han Soo-young in an instant and immediately jumped over the head of Yoo Ji-hyuk, who had turned into a dragon.
Then, by all means, he landed as softly as a feather was falling, and stood between the two horns and whispered playfully.
“After all, we have two, and he has two horns.”
Saying so, Minerva said, still smiling brightly, tapping his horn.
“But, isn’t it really blasphemous and huge? One of the easiest ways to determine a dragon’s rank is by looking at the size of its horns. Just by looking at this, you can see that he has a high level as a dragon.”
“Uh, yes… That’s right.”
Han Soo-young nodded her head slightly blushing.
Minerva couldn’t figure out why she was blushing.
* * *
… That’s how it happened.
Han Soo-young looked around while holding one of Yoo Ji-hyuk’s horns firmly.
― Crook!!!
While constantly moving his mouth with crackling and cracking sounds, Yoo Ji-hyuk was slamming his front paws and waving his tail at the undead in front of him.
Every time it moves, at least dozens of undead are swept away as if being swept away by a broom.
Along the way, some stuck to his body and nailed his teeth and nails to the scales, but none of the undead could inflict a single wound on him.
“Calm down, calm down… .”
Han Soo-young hooked and took a deep breath.
Minerva held on to one of the horns and closed his eyes as if meditating, and Yoo Ji-hyeok, who came to his senses, began to move according to Han Soo-young’s instructions as Minerva had promised.
His memories of being a human are still intact, but his instincts as a dragon are strong.
Minerva evaluated the current state of Yoo Ji-hyeok like that.
In fact, Han Soo-young could notice that he had changed so aggressively that he wondered if it was Yoo Ji-hyuk, whom he knew, and he had to put a lot of effort into making him move according to his will.
Putting everything else aside, I was sweating hard to stop them from rushing to the enemy.
To be honest, he didn’t quite know how he was able to coax him to come out to earth.
‘There… .’
In the meantime, as soon as he broke through the basement and came out, the first thing he encountered was none other than Richie.
Calling him to bite him in a hurry was an improvised command, but it seemed like a pretty good decision, as something like a scream kept coming out of his mouth.
– Big… .
“uh? uh? Wait, are you sure you swallowed it now?”
Meanwhile, Han Soo-young, who saw the neck moving as if he had swallowed something with a groan, was startled and slapped Yoo Ji-hyuk’s head with his palm.
“Jihyuk, spit it out! That’s Gigi, Gigi! Come on spit it out! Whoa, whoa! hurry! Ugh, heck! Ugh, heck!”
Along with the groan of Han Soo-young’s brush, he exhaled as if he was sneezing.
Soon after, something shattered came out of his mouth.

Only after seeing the color or pattern of the robes that were almost ragged, Han Soo-young knew that it was Gracius.
Rich and whatever, it would be better to just die.
Koo!
Yoo Ji-hyeok, who hit it so hard that it shook the ground, lifted his front foot and looked intently at the almost powdery wreckage.
― Grump… .
A low-pitched rumbling sound came from his throat, as if he was in a bad mood.
Han Soo-young could feel the magic inside him fluctuate.
And before she could even stop her, he spit his breath out at the wreckage.
Han Soo-young, who looked at the scene silently for a moment, gently tapped his head.
“… Yes, well done.”
At Han Soo-young’s praise, it seemed that he smirked and smiled.
She could feel her forehead throb for a moment on top of his horns, which immediately turned around as if to clean up the remaining undead.
“… ah!”
A glimmering crystal floated just above her.
If she had been able to read the notification window like Yoo Ji-hyuk, these notification windows would have appeared in front of her.
[An error has been detected.]
[An error has been detected.]
[Error… @$@&%#~.]
[Some of the awakening conditions of ‘Han Soo-young’ have been achieved. (1/3)]
[Qualification for ‘Unnamed Book’ has been renewed.]
[Information about ‘Han Soo-young’ is updated.]
But she wasn’t Yoo Ji-hyuk, so she couldn’t see anything.
All she could see was that the lens that had been emitting a faint light gradually started to glow brighter.
“… … .”
As she silently reached out her hand, it drew closer to her.
Laying her hand on the crystal, she quietly closed her eyes.
like apologizing.
