The place where the two-headed poisonous dragon was subdued was an ordinary forest.

The aftereffects of being soaked in poison still persist, making it a dead forest that is hard to find alive, but it is a forest with quite a few trees that have taken root in the ground.

A huge hole appeared in the center of the forest.

It was a change in the terrain caused by an attack that supposedly subdued a two-headed poisonous dragon.

The barracks are built in a row surrounding the pit.

The investigation team dispatched by the association and the search team that were left in ruins.

It is also a temporary base where troops dispatched from Gyeophwa, Changhae, and Taesan stay.

The surrounding area is busy being purified as the poison left behind by the two-headed poisonous dragon runs rampant.

Near this pit, all obstacles on the ground had disappeared, and the poisonous air was virtually non-existent, so a temporary base was built in Ususu.

Among that group was Hong Yeon-hwa.

‘…What exploded?’

Hong Yeon-hwa slowly stuck her head out and looked down at the pit.

It’s a pit so deep and wide that you’d think it might have been a meteorite.

Changes in terrain.

If you decide to do it, you can even cause a scarlet bloom.

If you pour wildflowers into a forest, it will all burn down, and if you add flowering flowers, you can create a huge pit with scarlet lotus flowers.

‘Something this size… it’s hard to do all at once.’

Hong Yeon-hwa’s eyes narrowed as she scanned the pit. Even after a quick calculation, it was impossible to change the terrain on this scale.

Even if we mobilize expansion capacity, it is impossible.

Even the flowering output is difficult. Evolution is impossible because it is a type of physical ability enhancement, and Seonghwa, which has not yet been acquired, is impossible because it is a self-recovery type.

‘…Is this Hayul?’

Lee Ha-yul created a pit so large that one would wonder if it could be created even by dropping the attack magic of a superior who went through a ritual.

Aside from the pit, the two-headed poisonous dragon was destroyed without leaving a single by-product.

Additionally, around the pit, a much larger area of land than the pit was affected, as if it were turning over.

Perhaps with one blow.

Even considering that he became a commander and was weakened due to various adverse conditions, it was difficult to believe it.

It is by no means ignoring Lee Ha-yul, but it was impossible based on her common sense in the first place.

Lee Ha-yul has developed a powerful demonic power comparable to that of Hong Yeon-hwa, but even taking that into account, it is impossible.

A normal coal mine cannot create a hole this size. It is impossible to use flowering, but Lee Ha-yul has not yet achieved expansion ability.

Even if flowering occurs in a moment of crisis, it is impossible to leave such a trace.

Hong Yeon-hwa squatted down and stretched out her hand. A gloved hand traced the surface of the pit.

It’s smooth.

The shine is not as smooth as day, but considering the time that has passed since the hole was created, it must have been smoother than this at first.

It is not a trace of fear.

But I actually felt the energy of fear.

The energy of evil is spread throughout the pit.

It was difficult to detect because the traces had faded over time, but they were clearly traces of Gyeophwa.

‘…What the hell is it?’

Hong Yeon-hwa was immersed in agony.

It may be surprising, but Lee Ha-yul has many secrets.

The same goes for the eyes and voice, which are the questions I felt most recently.

Just by kissing once, eyes that were previously hidden and voices that had been blocked open.

At the time, I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t react properly.

This is so ridiculous that you will laugh out loud.

Are you saying that you are a cursed princess from a fairy tale?

…Of course, it seemed plausible on the outside, but it couldn’t be helped that it was difficult to understand in many ways.

I didn’t ask recklessly.

This is because when Lee Ha-yul was first asked, he seemed somewhat embarrassed to answer.

I could keep asking. I already knew Lee Ha-yul’s strategy.

If you hold her in your arms and caress her all day, your closed mouth will slowly open. In fact, we even got close to that.

However, Hong Yeon-hwa is a person who knows her way.

It seemed like the person I loved was in trouble… I wasn’t the type of shameless person who would forcefully bring up a situation that they were reluctant to reveal.

– Lady Yeonhwa! Master’s whereabouts are unknown after engaging the two-headed poisonous dragon…

– Grrr

– Oh, girl?!

…It is not that there was no temptation to become an unscrupulous person. Every moment we are tested by temptations and impulses.

The Hong Lotus Flower of the past was a sweet and intense temptation and impulse that could not have been resisted.

I felt proud of myself for enduring it in real time.

What if I couldn’t overcome it?

By now, Lee Ha-yul must have been locked in the bedroom, nursing in Hong Yeon-hwa’s arms every moment…

Suddenly, such a sweet future came to mind.

Temptation and impulse were burning hot.

‘…Be patient…Be patient…Be patient…’

Hong Yeon-hwa’s body trembled.

I chewed my lips while thinking to myself about patience.

As the faint taste of blood lingers in my mouth, I feel like my sanity is coming back.

“YeonhwaYeonhwa, what are you doing?”

“Evil…!”

“Huh?”

It was then that a strange voice was heard from behind. Hong Yeon-hwa jumped up and made a strange sound.

Baek A-rin, who was approaching Hong Yeon-hwa, blinked at that excessive reaction.

“What, what, what. Why are you calling me?”

“What were you doing so surprised? What strange things were you doing?”

“I was thinking about something else for a moment, but you surprised me, damn it! Don’t find fault.”

“Swearing about that is too much… Please speak to me kindly, just like you would to Hayul…”

“Crazy bitch…”

Hong Yeon-hwa wrinkled her face as if she was disgusted. At that reaction, Baek A-rin also shed her sullen appearance and burst into laughter.

“So? What were you really doing?”

“Not really. I was just observing.”

Hong Yeon-hwa responded.

Baek A-rin seemed to think about it for a moment, then came over and squatted down next to Hong Yeon-hwa and looked down into the pit.

Baek Arin has also seen a lot of pits over the past few days.

It’s right in front of the base to begin with, and because it’s this big, it’s hard not to see it.

“Hmm…”

Baek A-rin stretched out her hand. Like Hong Yeon-hwa, he opened his mouth while skimming the surface of the pit.

“Have you heard the news about Jiyeon? I heard you were discharged yesterday.”

“Already? Oh right, Taesan.”

Hong Yeon-hwa blinked as if she had forgotten.

Those who manifest Taishan have extraordinary basic physical abilities.

Overall physical ability grows, and durability, including defense, increases bizarrely.

Also, when it reaches the level of controlling vitality, it becomes no exaggeration to call it a zombie.

“Now that I think about it, why is it so bustling over there?”

Hong Yeon-hwa suddenly pointed in the opposite direction.

Taishan’s temporary base was gathered there, and there had been constant commotion for several days.

The Taesan family was the first to set up a temporary base here, and it was like that when the later troops, including Hong Yeon-hwa, had just arrived.

No sound could be heard, perhaps because of soundproofing magic, but it was so bustling and chaotic that it was clearly visible.

“It’s going to be a mess since the successor is involved. If you weren’t careful, the next head of the family would have died outside, right?”

“Is that so? Aside from that, I heard that Ji-yeon was discharged safely? Oh, Jiyeon was discharged from the hospital before I could visit her again…”

Hong Yeon-hwa muttered with a strange expression on her face.

In the past, there were times when news came that Lee Ji-yeon had been hospitalized several times.

As I was getting ready to visit each time, I could see Ji-yeon Lee waving her hand awkwardly after being discharged from the hospital.

It is a memory of the past. Because we haven’t met much these days.

The last time we met was… in the break room…

‘Oh, shit.’

It is an extremely shameful memory.

Hong Yeon-hwa chewed her lips again to suppress her shame.

“The vacation will end soon, so I guess I can go to the city crib and say hello.”

The investigation is over. In fact, there wasn’t much to investigate around here.

The body of the two-headed poisonous dragon was completely destroyed, and at best, traces of the battle around it could be traced.

Hong Yeon-hwa didn’t know how to do that part.

Baek A-rin has many talents, so she can help, but she is going back to the city cradle as vacation is over soon.

“…Yes, that’s right. Poetry cradle. I have to go now.”

Hong Yeon-hwa also returns to the poetry cradle.

And… I had to go somewhere and meet a child who died of his own accord and almost made a useless person a widow.

– Puzzle

The pile of dirt that was held in Hong Yeon-hwa’s hands was crushed.

Hong Yeon-hwa suddenly stood up.

.

.

.

“Hmm…”

Hong Yeon-hwa’s back was moving away. Hong Yeon-hwa’s last appearance was as she entered her temporary base and disappeared.

Baek A-rin stared at him until the end and turned her head.

A pit filled my field of vision.

It was very huge. I thought that at least several ritualized high-level magic would have to be applied to achieve a similar size.

Baek A-rin blinked for a moment and glanced down at her hands.

‘…You don’t even have any intention of hiding it anymore?’

A handful of dirt is held in one’s hand. This is soil scraped from the surface of a pit.

The pure white gloves became dirty, but Baek A-rin rubbed the dirt without paying any attention.

‘No, because my life was at stake, I probably didn’t have time to think about what happened next.’

That’s right, the two-headed poisonous dragon is following closely behind, so I guess I’ll just have to live and see.

‘That being said, if you look at the traces, it looks like you have room to run away…’

With a strange look in her eyes, Baek Arin was rubbing at the soil containing the subtle energy of ‘Changhae’.

Among the manifestations of the Spear, it is a Spear with a faint trace that is difficult to detect even for Baek A-rin, who is also very good at detecting magical power.

I concentrated my mind and analyzed Changhae’s energy.

Because the sample was small and uniform, very little information was obtained.

“…heehee.”

But there was something I found out.

‘It was worth showing it.’

As well as the output, the operation of the spear was very sophisticated.

This is very good news.

Baek Arin smiled brightly.

.

.

.

Huabei-Dongbei border.

Troops of the Taesan family dispatched to the place where the two-headed poisonous dragon was subjugated.

The commander who leads him, ‘Lee Seon’, is not the manifestation of Taesan.

Although he is a collateral descendant of the founder’s blood, he displayed the attribute ability to manipulate the earth, not Mount Tai.

Compared to Taesan, it is inferior in vulgar terms.

However, he had some talent and was able to become a high-level hero.

In addition, Lee Seon was highly regarded for his loyalty to the family that he had proven over the years and the skill that comes from his long experience, so he was able to rise to the position of commander of the troops under the family.

In other words, Ethan has a lot of experience.

I was deployed to the Demonic Front and experienced combat for a long time. I was able to handle most unexpected situations skillfully.

“…I’m sorry. I have a little headache.”

It was difficult to cope skillfully now.

The command center of the temporary base. Lee Seon sat down at his desk and fell asleep, holding his dizzy head.

“I understand.”

Opposite him. Eunhyuk Lee, who came to the command center to report, nodded curtly.

Lee Eun-hyuk, like Lee Seon, is a collateral figure, but he manifests Taesan.

Although he did not display a remarkable output, he was a useful talent for this search operation combined with his acquired detection ability.

“Can I resume reporting?”

“Please do me a favor.”

In terms of distribution of unique abilities, Lee Eun-hyuk is the superior, but due to the position he received from his family, Lee Seon is now treated as his superior.

Ethan barely nodded.

Lee Eunhyuk also nodded inwardly at the confused look.

Because he was equally confused.

Eunhyun Lee opened his mouth.

“Disparate but clear traces of Taishan were detected in the pit where the two-headed poisonous dragon was defeated.”

“…Is there any possibility of a mistake? There was confusion with Lady Lee Ji-yeon’s Taesan…”

“Precision detection was conducted for several days. As a result, there are similarities, but they are individual.”

Lee Seon closed his eyes tightly at the confirmation that followed.

“Huh…”

His head was already in bad shape these days, and Lee Seon felt deep concern that it might weaken…
