Episode 177 – Dragon’s Heart
“I’m going back now.”
After that awkward honorific, at some point, the demon king suddenly disappeared.
This was when I had already robbed more than half of my entire fortune.
What the hell is so good? After eating a lot of expensive food and packing dolls and toys, the girl disappeared like that.
‘My money….’
I lived thinking that it was like a piece of money because it was money I naturally earned from an important trend in the world that I somehow got caught up in without going to a crack.
No matter how much it was, it didn’t mean that it was okay to rob it.
Also, for some reason, it seems that Dina has strangely misunderstood me.
‘It was the worst day….’
For some reason, I thought about that while lying down in a dorm room that felt like I had just returned from a long time ago.
Everything was good until I was able to train in the virtual labyrinth, but everything from going up to the second floor was the worst.
At least the hard work on the 2nd floor is helpful to me, when I think of the meeting with the demon king… Uh
Beyond simply taking the money, standing next to someone who could kill me at any time was not usually difficult.
In the past, when I went out with Dina without knowing that it was her real Dina, I wasn’t this scared.
At that time, the other person might kill me, but the probability of not killing me was higher.
But the Demon King is different.
She is my, our nemesis.
A mighty enemy you will surely fight someday.
The odds of becoming allies are non-existent, destined to kill each other.
I saw through the identity of the demon king, but there is no way the demon king could not have noticed my existence.
‘Why did it suddenly appear? Warning?’
No matter how much you use it, you won’t be my opponent anyway, so don’t strain yourself.
Could that be the meaning?
Moreover, by appearing when Dina was there, it further restricted my actions.
After all, even though she looks like a girl on the outside, she is actually a legendary being who has lived an unpredictable long time.
The heart rate was no joke.
Not only brute strength, but also excellent intellect….
The demon king, who had previously felt distant, began to appear as a higher wall.
‘You have to become stronger. Much more than now.’
First of all, make the ‘road’ accessible whenever you want.
You should make that your first goal.
Even if it’s slow, it’s a way to go much higher than any other method.
Don’t despair at the devil.
My goal is the evil god beyond that.
I can still grow a lot more, and I have strong colleagues.
‘Shall we go get it tomorrow?’
I thought it wasn’t the right time yet, so I’ve been postponing and postponing the hidden peace.
It was my turn to use the knowledge I had seen in ‘Oeyeongdoe’, which I had not been using well until now.
While making plans for tomorrow, I slowly fell asleep.
*
Why did I not use the knowledge of Oeyoungdoe well?
First, because there were things I shouldn’t have. No, rather, most were of that kind.
Almost every hidden piece has its own owner.
For example, the Blood Blood is the perfect sword for Kania, the Dhampir, and the Heart of the Dragon Horse is the right elixir for Ifelsar.
Blood swords are less effective than ordinary swords if you can’t control them freely.
In the case of the dragon’s heart, it is impossible to properly absorb it unless you are a dragon or demon.
Rather, there is a much higher chance of dying from the magic in the dragon’s heart.
‘Even if you’re lucky enough to survive, in most cases you won’t be able to absorb it properly.’
Of course, Oeyoung Doe’s Dina would either take it all by herself or purposely acquire it herself first and give it away as a gift to boost her favorability.
Of course, I don’t intend to monopolize all the hidden pieces either.
It’s not as good as Kania, but she can handle blood. It’s not bad to use blood, but….
Not only is it much more efficient for Kania to use it, but I already have a special weapon called Durandal.
So what I pay attention to is the heart of the Dragon Demon.
It is the heart of a demon born from a dragon and a demon.
‘I don’t know why the name is Dragon’s Heart, not Dragon’s Heart….’
In the first place, this is an item that Ipelsar does not take, although I do not know why even if it is outside of Akanak Castle.
Originally, as I said earlier, it was a hidden piece that ordinary people couldn’t take….
I am different.
Because I had two specialties different from normal human beings.
First of all, I am a paladin blessed by the goddess.
However, the stability is too unstable to swallow the dragon’s heart with just this.
That’s why the second specificity I have is very important.
No one else in the world, only my own ability and privilege.
[Copy].
It’s not just the level of imitating a skill, it’s a morale ability that allows me to imitate skills that are absolutely impossible for me.
My plan is as follows.
Using Ifelsar’s dragon painting through [Copy].
In that state, take the dragon’s heart. Then I will be able to completely absorb the Dragon Horse’s heart without any penalty.
But what I’m worried about is what comes next.
What if Yongma’s Heart is released while Yongma’s Heart is ingested?
It is uncertain as there has never been a case in which the dragon’s heart was ingested in this way.
His body could explode due to the belated penalty, or he could absorb the dragon’s heart intact without any problems.
Of course, it is a gamble where you do not know whether you will live or die.
So here I have to believe in my ability as a paladin.
Even though it has deteriorated a bit and turned into a purple star, it is still a star that has accumulated in my heart.
A star that will someday shine brilliantly at the end of the sky.
I can only hope that this star will lead me in a good direction somehow.
“… Then. Shall we go?”
I am already fully prepared.
I got a good night’s sleep, so I’m in the best condition.
… I hope Dina won’t misunderstand again with this.
Yesterday, when you saw me, you said strange things like lolicon or pedoni, but today when you imagine that I was stabbed and ran away after seeing me, or that I went to meet a little girl again….
‘Then I should just die.’
Is it my business to know whether the world is perishing or not?
Just before Dina could think of that, she rushed back. Isn’t that what it is?
Open the door slowly and go out.
Nothing to go far. Because the dragon’s heart is hidden right here, in the basement of Star City, and nowhere else.
No. Exactly the opposite.
Because the dragon’s heart is buried here, the academy and Star City were built here.
‘Today, I steal the root of Star City.’
Call me Daedo Han Siu… !
‘It’s to save the world, so even Garlowen will understand.’
As I was running while rationalizing myself like that, I suddenly had that thought.
… So, where the hell is the road to the basement?
Anything that is filmed outside is a novel.
Occasionally, there were illustrations, but almost all of them were illustrations for Dina’s appearance, otherwise they were illustrations for the supporting characters.
Of course, there is no map that kindly tells you where the hidden piece is hidden.
Of course, it was written that it was roughly somewhere in the description.
The problem is that people’s memory has limits, and I’m one of those people who is on the stupid side.
As of now, there are only two things I can remember.
Being in the heart of Star City, deep beneath the academy.
In front of the entrance to the dragon horse’s heart, there is an unusual building.
‘The Dragon Horse’s heart is buried deep in the exact center of Star City.’
That means, it’s right under my feet.
Because I ran hard and came to the center of the academy.
“In the end, I have no choice but to wander here and there to find the entrance….”
Being very deep underground meant that the underground space was very wide.
Let’s make a guess based on this information….
The entrance is rather on the outskirts of Star City?
I don’t know. But I can only go.
There is no shortage of time, but neither is it surplus. In order to save time, you must obtain the dragon’s heart within today.
So, you’re saying you’ll have to scour Star City like crazy until you find it anyway.
‘Let’s just run around for once.’
It is said that there is an unusual building at the entrance, so if you see an unusual building after running around and looking around, you can go there and examine it.
I hope I can find it as soon as possible.
Since it is a hidden piece with a fairly high level, simply finding the entrance is not the end.
Of course, there are guardians protecting the dragon’s heart. They are also quite strong guys.
It won’t be a level of difficulty that I can’t overcome, but it won’t be a difficulty that I can easily clear.
‘Please. Come out quickly.’
