How the hell did you get it?
Belluna was waving her hands with an awkward smile on the outside, but in her head she was thinking about why she was caught.
In fact, from the moment Yoo Ji-hyuk and that red-haired girl sat down and talked, he had been with them.
He came to see his son, Ivan Hunt, at the request of him, but the situation or atmosphere between the two seemed vague, so he planned to wait until the story was over.
As a matter of fact, Belluna Hunt is a high-ranking spirit of the wind.
And the wind can go everywhere soon, and no one can hold it.
If it is a spirit of the wind like her, it will completely assimilate with the surroundings, and will not be able to catch its presence at all, and will be able to completely melt into it.
Her ability can be seen from the fact that she broke through numerous barriers, traps, and magical devices, and easily broke into the place where Natalia Milited, a true vampire, was detained.
It was not that Alice Blesbuck’s ability was lacking, but Belluna Hunt’s ability was superior.
In fact, if she hadn’t taken off Natalia’s eyepatch, Alice Blesbuck wouldn’t have even known she was coming and going.
In other words, it was the sound that, unless he did that level of incongruity, he could not grasp the presence of Belluna, who had melted and assimilated around him.
It was a kind of pride and pride for her.
The only people who noticed her in such a state were the Seven Devils, a few other high-ranking spirits, and her husband.
So they decided to wait a little further away for their work to be done, while remembering the popcorn in his pocket and muttering it.
But I got caught.
Yoo Ji-hyuk looked exactly where he was and recognized himself.
Yes, up to that point, I could understand.
To say the least, he was an out-of-the-ordinary human to the point of being vaguely called a human.
He was a healthy human even with the energy of as many as three Seven Evils within his body, so it would not be surprising if he recognized and found himself.
But he never dreamed that even the red-haired girl next to him would be able to recognize him.
“Um, I don’t know if this will be comforting… I don’t think there’s any need to be ashamed of it, because it’s different from yours. Why don’t you, too, feel ashamed to see a passing dog mate?”
Belluna, who was at a loss for words for a moment, opened her mouth as if making an excuse.
To that, the red-haired girl answered with a fat voice.
“I’m ashamed.”
“Oh.”
At Han Soo-young’s resolute answer, Belluna put on a surprised expression.
She clenched her lips and trembled with her cheeks stained red.
In the meantime, Belluna’s eyes lit up slightly as she saw the crystals spinning around her.
“Besides, may I ask what the hell is going on here, Belluna-san?”
Yoo Ji-hyuk opened his mouth like that, unable to hide the sign of discomfort inside.
As he opened his mouth, Belluna could smell the scent emanating from his mouth.
The smell of poison even fishy, the heavy breath, the fishy smell of non-human things.
those with scales. The smell of dragons.
She looked at him with a slightly startled expression.
“… Belluna?”
“Hey, it’s nothing. Yoo Ji-hyuk. I heard that you asked your son that he wanted to meet me?”
Belluna said so and looked at Yoo Ji-hyuk and Han Soo-young.
He looked at her with a hopeful expression.
“Yeah, I certainly did say that. But, is that why you came here?”
“yes.”
Belluna nodded as if what was the problem.
Yoo Ji-hyuk scratched the back of his head as if he was in trouble, and Han Soo-young looked at Belluna with a frown, this time looking at Yoo Ji-hyuk.
“Well, after all, is it better to wait a little longer and talk?”
Belluna murmured while looking at a different place than the two of them.
Then, in the dark, someone quietly walked out with the sound of shuffling footsteps.
Even in the darkness, her crimson eyes were twinkling like stars.
“Did you even notice?”
“Even if it were to decline, would the energy of beings like you be easily hidden?”
Minerva slowly made its way through the darkness.
He ran so fast that he didn’t even wear shoes, so he was barefoot.
“I came here thinking that something bad might happen to him and my close friend. Fortunately, it seems that there was nothing to worry about.”
“yes… to? Friends?”
“Yes, mate.”
Minerva looked at Belluna with her arms crossed, who had a rare startled expression, and wiggled her tail.
“Her name is Sooyoung and Han Sooyoung. If you ever do something rude to her, know that it is rude to me.”
“… That Minerva saw a human and became friends.”
Belluna muttered in an unbelievable voice.
She wasn’t the only one surprised.
Yoo Ji-hyuk, who knows Minerva well, looked at Han Soo-young with a surprised expression, and Han Soo-young also looked at Minerva with an expression that he did not understand English.
In that situation, Minerva was the only one who was calm.
“Yes, dear. is your body okay? Where are you feeling strange or not feeling nauseous?”
Minerva turned and looked at Yoo Ji-hyuk and asked.
When he looked at Belluna, his cold eyes were drawing soft curves.
“uh? uh… no. Minerva It’s fine thanks to you for your concern.”
“That’s a sweet answer like honey.”
Minerva murmured in a dripping, dripping voice.
Then he looked at Yoo Ji-hyuk with eyes full of affection without saying a word, and Han Soo-young with a slightly less favorable gaze, and nodded.
“Slowly.”
As soon as she finished speaking, another popular chuckle was heard.
it was reason
“ah!”
She was able to come faster than the others because she was just walking.
Seeing Yoo Ji-hyeok standing still, her eyes lit up slightly.
“Ji, Jihyuk. I was okay… !”
“… … !!!”
But, one step ahead of her, Laune, who was in her arms, jumped out.
Laune, who spread its roots like a flying squirrel, immediately fell into Yoo Ji-hyuk’s arms.
“Uh, what? Laune? Hey, why are you here?”
“… … ! … … !!!”
In response to Yoo Ji-hyuk’s bewildered question, Laune began to slap his body as if ‘Why did you say that word the first time you saw him?’
He didn’t hit with force, and it was a bit tickling, so he smiled and patted Laune with his finger.
“okay okay. I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
“… … .”
At that moment, Laune floundered as if his anger had dissipated, got on his clothes and took a seat next to his shoulder.
Then it slipped and slid down a slide and slipped into the front pocket of his shirt.
Ever since he found out that Laune likes to fit in his pockets, he’s always worn clothes with inner or front pockets, and that’s the case today.
“It’s Yuna.”
“Uh, huh?”
Lee Yu-na, who was looking awkwardly at Yoo Ji-hyuk’s sudden call, stuttered.
“Thank you. Were you in charge of him? Then there… Thank you so much for helping me when I turned into a dragon.”
Yoona paused for a moment at those words, then smiled bashfully.
“Eh, ah. It didn’t matter what… .”
“It’s nothing. To be honest, I was so sorry and thankful to you that I didn’t know what to say. Still, I felt I had to say this. Thank you so much.”
“a… . Jihyuk, why are you like this again? It’s embarrassing for people.”
It was the time when Han Soo-young gave a hopeful expression to her slightly blushing appearance.
Then there were rustling sounds from all over the place.
And Ye-eun Lee and Ye-seul Jin.
Finally, Hyun-woo Choi appeared and everyone gathered.
“ha… I’m really happy.”
“Ji-hyuk.”
As soon as she saw him, Ye-eun Lee sighed as if she was really happy, and Ye-seul Jin muttered his name as if panting hard.
“My lord, Yesul.”
“… Why am I the head of the family again?”
“Yeah, uh! It’s really Jihyuk… I like that look, but I like this look even better… !”
Seeing Yoo Ji-hyeok talking to the two of them like that, Choi Hyun-woo smiled slightly.
Then he found Han Soo-young with his eyes wide open while trying to say something mean and quietly shut his mouth.
“Well. Well, it seems like everyone is gathered now.”
Seeing the brief exchange of stories, Belluna deliberately showed her presence and muttered something like that.
After confirming that everyone’s eyes were focused on her, she looked at Yoo Ji-hyuk.
“Yoo Ji-hyuk. I can only guess why you wanted to meet me.”
Belluna said as she gently ran her hair back.
“Isn’t this the one you called to put even this Belluna Hunt into your arms?”
Yoo Ji-hyuk, who could not understand her words for a moment, managed to squeeze out an answer.
“… … Yes?”
“It was a joke, wasn’t it funny?”
Seeing a strange light emanating from Minerva’s eyes next to him, Belluna quickly opened her mouth.
When Yoo Ji-hyuk shook her head, she muttered with an expression that she didn’t really understand.
“It’s strange, I’m sure everyone laughed when I joked.”
Then he took a step away from Minerva and cleared his throat.
“Hmm, then… I think you were trying to ask a story about Milited’s children, right?”
“Oh, yes. you’re right.”
Jihyuk nodded his head.
“Beluna was a member of Milited’s children. It may be rude, but I thought you would know the details, so I wanted to ask you a few questions if possible.”
“Hmm… .”
Belluna pursed her lips as if contemplating for a moment.
“I don’t know if I’ve said it before, but it’s been a while since I cut ties with them. So I don’t know the details of what they’re thinking.”
She opened her mouth as if explaining to everyone present.
“Just to explain a few things I know… Yes. Gracius is dead, and Natalia is captured. Now all that is left is Randsch, who has actually been the leader.”
“Randsch?”
“It’s a dragon. Just like you.”
Saying that to Yoo Ji-hyuk, Belluna shook her head and continued speaking as if singing a song.
“Among the dragons, he is a traitor and heretic, and has been ordered to kill him. After all, he is a treason who murdered his own people. Rather than killing to be precise… They captured and neutralized dragons and hung them in rows like sausages, and when their usefulness decreased, they were slaughtered like pigs. There are over thirty dragons who have been caught and killed in that way by his hand. I heard that they were conducting various experiments on their own people… I don’t know what the experiment was, but I think we all know what he did.”
Someone murmured, “The heart of a dragon.”
Belluna gave clap and dry applause.
“you’re right. Collecting the hearts of dragons to make one huge magical body. Then why? As far as I know, Yoo Ji-hyuk, I think you know.”
“… To unlock Milited’s seal.”
“That is also correct. Be smart too.”
Belluna smiled slightly.
“It is said that it takes four great alchemists to unseal Milited. To be precise, you need to align with the magic of such an alchemist. You’re raking in the hearts of dragons to take the place of one of them.”
“But Gracius is dead, and Natalia would be ‘different from what she used to be’. All that’s left is Randsch. Even if the dragon’s heart he’s raked his whole life does his job, two are not enough.”
“In order to block his purpose, we need to accurately identify the whereabouts of alchemists with out-of-standard abilities, and make sure that a magical body with an output equivalent to dozens of dragon hearts intertwined does not fall into his hands.”
Having said that, Belluna slowly turned her head and looked at Han Soo-young.
Precisely, the lens that revolves around Han Soo-young.
“Yeah, just like that one, for example.”
A still and violent wind began to form in her hands as she murmured.
“If you hand it over to me, I will crush it on the spot. So that there is no regret.”
At those words, Han Soo-young was startled and startled, and reflexively embraced the lens in her arms.
Belluna muttered with a cold expression.
“It is recommended to reduce variables as much as possible, Han Soo-young.”
Belluna Hunt gave advice while reciting Han Soo-young’s name correctly.
“It is not something an ordinary human would have. You don’t know, but I do know that karma builds up in your soul. … There’s no way that’s okay.”
soul up.
karma.
Recognizing this, Yoo Ji-hyuk’s eyes widened.
The danger of accumulating karma was because he knew better than anyone.
“Probably by now Randsch is moving to obtain the power of four people.”
Belluna spoke quietly, as if taunting a child.
“I don’t have time for this, Han Soo-young.”
She put her hand forward.
“Come on, hand it over.”
* * *
“When I asked what kind of mouse it was, it wasn’t just a mouse.”
The old man’s murky voice resounded low.
An old man who lost his disciples and his position, power, and everything.
Isaac McDowell, who once led a faction called the Big Watch, coughed and glanced at the person who had come to him.
giant man.
He was none other than Randsch.
Randsch asked, glancing at the corpses lying around Isaac McDowell.
“What is this, Isaac McDowell?”
The old man burst out laughing at his question.
“Put aside the obvious play, if you ask me for the beast after ordering, what am I supposed to answer?”
“That’s not what I’m asking.”
Randsch asked in a quiet voice.
“I’m asking you why you suddenly disappeared and disappeared. These guys were just sent to find you, where you were lost.”
He muttered like that, and lightly stepped on the head of a man placed under his feet and popped it.
“I expected them because they were Natalia’s children, but they didn’t even get a proper name, so it’s chaotic.”
“Yeah, it was clumsy. It would have been better for my disciples to do that.”
Isaac McDowell mumbled and got up.
“Thanks to you guys, my disciples all died and even their bodies were insulted.”
“Don’t dwell on trivial things, alchemist.”
At Randsch’s answer, Isaac McDowell’s eyes twitched.
“You lose something to gain something. Equivalent exchange is one of the laws of the world, not just alchemy. They were sacrificed for your goals, not our private feelings. Don’t get caught up in your emotions and forget the cause.”
At his words, Isaac McDowell looked as if he was speechless for a moment.
After being silent for a while, he nodded slowly.
“… Yes, I heard you are right.”
With those words, Isaac McDowell suddenly stretched out his hand forward.
He murmured quietly as he saw a flash-like explosion from his hand engulf Randsh.
“Then would you be willing to give your life for that cause?”
As if answering the subdued voice, Randsch appeared as he cut the deflagration in half.
“Of course.”
He opened his mouth, looking like he had no blemishes.
“Before that, you will come first. alchemist.”
Isaac McDowell chuckled and laughed.
“If you can do it, do it, you creeping snake bastard.”
At that signal, the old man and the dragon flew towards each other.
