“I know without saying it. You must have come all the way here because you want something.”
Although the Blaine Dragon answered bluntly, he couldn’t take his eyes off the ancient dragon’s soul.
The ancient dragon’s soul was not easy to obtain, and other dragons were also paying attention.
If that soul had been passed on to another dragon, it would have been destroyed or tried to be used somehow.
“Do you know what value the soul has?”
“I know a little bit. If you fully accept this soul, you will gain even greater strength.”
“It’s not just power. You can have a dignity that surpasses all dragons.”
Blaine Dragon had no intention of lying.
It must have come to him knowing that that person already knew enough.
However, if you were being rude or making excessive demands, you would have to kill that human and steal the ancient dragon’s soul.
“You don’t even have to agree to the deal. You can kill me at any time.”
“I know you well. But that’s not the case. If you want to get something, you have to pay the price.”
“Thank you for your consideration.”
Seo Hyun-woo slowly lowered the ancient dragon’s soul to the ground and sat down.
Just because it was a dragon, it didn’t necessarily mean that he was acting violently and putting his force first.
Some dragons were watching the situation from a neutral standpoint and moving according to the situation.
Among them, the Luminous Dragon and Blaine Dragon were to the extent of being generous in this regard.
“What do you want? Let us listen and decide whether to listen or not.”
“first. One day, SALEH will come directly to the world I live in. I hope you do not threaten the world I live in.”
“It is unacceptable. I know what you’re worried about, but there are times when I have to act according to my will. We cannot take your position into consideration.”
Seo Hyun-woo kept silent and began to find a way to replace that condition.
If it was a Blaine Dragon, he wouldn’t threaten this world with his personal feelings.
However, if it collided with other dragons or monsters, it could have had a large or small effect on its own.
“…but you can only grant that request to the territory or island where you live. Would you be satisfied with that?”
“Yes. Thank you for your consideration.”
Seo Hyun-woo answered without hesitation and bowed his head.
Even that alone, the Blaine Dragon should have made a lot of concessions.
In addition, since more than half of the first-class monsters appeared in Korea, there was no shortage of use as an alternative.
“I’m not asking for anything unexpected. Please state the following conditions.”
“second. I have always been prepared for unexpected disasters. If it’s okay just once, can you help me?”
“It’s just one time… I can do that. But if I’m at a loss, I’ll step back any time. Would you be satisfied with that?”
“Thank you for your consideration.”
Seo Hyun-woo had already decided how to utilize the Blaine Dragon.
If you could help even for a moment, subjugating the first-class monsters would be much easier.
“I think this will be the last condition.”
“you’re right. third. I want to become stronger. Can you give me a little favor?”
“Now you are asking too much. Is it really worth it to you?”
The Blaine Dragon began to radiate magical power with its white eyes flashing.
The amount was very small, but to Seo Hyun-woo, it just seemed like a huge storm.
However, Seo Hyun-woo is not agitated and waits for the Blaine Dragon to answer.
“You are not a human being who moves for your greed. But because of that greed, I try to use this me. It’s bold yet clever, cold-hearted and pure.”
The Blaine Dragon gathers magical power and shows off her softer eyes.
If you have life and ego, you inevitably have to create desires and emotions.
He was like that, and so was the person in front of him.
A lot of things just change depending on how you use those desires and emotions.
“I will accept the last condition. From now on, all dragons will see my protection in you, and they will enjoy upright glory with the power that comes from me.”
The Blaine Dragon released one more magical energy and spread its wings wide.
At the same time, a blue magic circle was drawn widely on the blackened ground, and it began to emit a soft color.
The magic circle seemed to reduce its size slowly, but soon gathered around Seo Hyun-woo and disappeared completely.
“I have accepted all the terms and conditions you put forward. How are you?”
“Now this soul belongs to Blaine.”
As soon as Seo Hyun-woo finished speaking, the spirit of the ancient dragon in front of him flew to the Blaine Dragon.
The Blaine Dragon just looks at the ancient dragon’s soul in the air, quietly.
“You did a really wonderful job. Does anyone other than you know of this soul?”
“There is one more. He was the one who saved that soul himself, and I will not speak about him.”
“Don’t believe what you’re saying.”
Seo Hyun-woo looks at Blaine Dragon’s eyes and organizes his mind for a moment.
He seemed quite happy, and he had a good personality compared to other dragons.
Now, even if I asked a question, I wondered if I would get as many answers as I wanted.
“Blaine, may I ask you a question?”
“Do it. You gave me what I wanted, so I can give you that much.”
“thank you. What kind of power did Blaine give me?”
The blessing of Rune and the protection given by the Blaine Dragon were never mentioned in the original text.
So I had to ask myself and figure out how to use it.
“If you can freeze more things, you will freeze more, and if you can become a dragon, you will increase your status.”
“…I think I know a little bit what you mean.”
Seo Hyun-woo instinctively recalled the freezing attribute and the ability to transform into a dragon.
Similar to Rune’s blessing, it must have been to strengthen the abilities belonging to a certain type.
If you use it well, maybe you can enjoy the same effect as Rune’s blessing.
“Do you often fight with the same dragons?”
“We don’t try to fight each other as much as possible. There’s no benefit to fighting with your own kind. However…”
With his teeth clenched, the Blaine Dragon slowly opened his eyes from the ancient dragon’s soul.
Even dragons had dignity and pride.
How can they be regarded as their own people, with superior intelligence and power, and doing promiscuous things?
“Nete, Crimson, and Elowy are not considered cognates. If you challenge my authority, I will surely punish you.”
“Then can you help me when fighting them?”
“…are you going to fight them?”
“Yes. If they threaten me, I will face it.”
Of course, it wasn’t certain.
It was just a little bit of guessing when to call the Blaine Dragon.
Because depending on the answer, I had to revise the plan.
“I haven’t seen a reckless person like you in a long time. It’s better to run away than to fight them.”
“When the world is destroyed, will I have a place to retreat?”
“Um… you are right. If the world is destroyed because of them, that is the end.”
Seo Hyun-woo’s words were extreme, but not without possibility.
The three dragons mentioned above were all about destruction and slaughter, so they could destroy the world if they put their mind to it.
“I also don’t want innocent lives to be hurt. No matter who I am with, I will always keep the promise I made with you.”
“Thank you for your consideration.”
“…you’ve been here too long. You should go back now.”
“Yes. We look forward to welcoming you next time we meet.”
“When that time comes, I will go to meet you with a happy heart.”
Blaine Dragon manipulates his magical power and returns Seo Hyun-woo to his original place.
Then, while holding the ancient dragon’s soul, he slowly closes his eyes.
‘Luminus will block Nete. Can that person handle the other two?’
***
Inside the cafe lounge of the Rosenium Hotel.
Seo Hyun-woo and Choi Jae-yeon have been enjoying coffee and dessert since morning.
The department inspection and the subsequent correction of deficiencies could be easily completed thanks to the help of the secretaries in the exclusive secretariat.
As the workload decreased at the same time as the reorganization of the student council, Seo Hyun-woo was just enjoying MT without any worries.
“I think the president has also changed his tone a lot.”
“I was just following the rules. All the previous student council presidents used hard tones, didn’t they?”
“That’s why I used an old-fashioned way of speaking. I think the student council executives said that there should be moderation and dignity.”
“Once this sticks in your mouth, it doesn’t come off easily. I was going to fix this first.”
Seo Hyun-woo laughs and feels ashamed later.
At that time, the atmosphere of the student council was quite stagnant, so I couldn’t use a light tone.
It was also related to the use of respectful words or rigid tones by other student council executives.
“Still, it’s a lot better. The head of the property department is also changing his tone little by little, right?”
“Jaeyeon-ah, the head of the property department is an old name.”
“Oh right. I forgot. Should I call you Se-hee now? It’s very awkward.”
Currently, all of the department heads, including Jae-yeon Choi, were working as secretaries in the student council’s secretariat.
In the secretariat, only the secretary existed as a position, so there was no way to separate the former managers.
The student council was also reorganized, so it was decided to call him by his first name.
“After all, we should call each other by names, right?”
“Still, I can’t help but feel awkward. I’ll have to listen to the president later, uh… that’s not a good thing.”
“Is it true that you are older than me?”
“When I say hyung, I look old. I just want you to call me by my name from now on.”
“…”
Seo Hyun-woo was confused for a moment, but quickly calmed down and bit the straw in his mouth.
It was more convenient to call them by their first names than to give them names like older brother or older sister.
As the leader of the subjugation team, it was better not to use friendly expressions when giving instructions.
“When I think of after graduation, Jin-ha Kang suddenly comes to mind. Did you hear the news?”
“You mean that Jinha Kang got a Yellow Hunter license right after graduation?”
“It is natural. You were the first among the students to push the president?”
“Um… what are you talking about? I don’t know.”
“The president doesn’t seem very interested. It is said that they brought in a monster recently and completely tamed it.”
“… ah, what?”
Seo Hyun-woo reluctantly pretends to know him with a grim expression on his face.
It was as if it had already been decided for Jin-ha Kang to deal with monsters.
The monster belonged to the highest rank, but Kang Jinha only vaguely knew that fact.
‘Having a crimson dragon as a pet is not something anyone can do. Also, without Jin-ha Kang, I can’t fight first-class monsters.’
