episode_0406

Googoo googung!!

The black dragon’s massive body passed over the young man and the woman and fell to the ground.

The woman looked at the scene blankly. The ground shaking as if there had been an earthquake made it clear that this moment was not a dream but reality, but it was still an incredible sight.

A person dropped a black dragon from the sky?

Wow!!

The black dragon that took one hit couldn’t control its temper and struggled in all directions. A feast of destruction, with trees shattering and rocks shattering.

“Get down.”

The woman immediately ducked when she heard a voice from next to her. He wears old, shabby clothes and has long hair. A person whose age cannot be guessed just by looking at the lower body was seen running forward.

The man was holding a sword in his hand as he rushed forward, breaking rocks and trees into pieces like pieces of paper, and the sword was overflowing with stars.

The black dragon sensed that the man was running and lashed out with its huge tail.

Dozens of sheets of dust rose up with an explosion that literally shattered the mountain.

“Ugh!”

The woman, blocking the pouring dust with her sleeve, was worried about the man’s safety. If it had been hit directly by the tail, its shape would have been unrecognizable, and even if it had somehow escaped it, it would have been crushed by flying debris.

However, contrary to the woman’s expectations, the man ran through the flying dust unharmed.

And then, at lightning speed, it went straight into the black dragon’s neck.

Kwaaaang!!

Kyaaa!!

The black dragon’s neck swayed. In the meantime, the man stepped on the black dragon’s front foot again and jumped up, striking the black dragon’s neck once again.

The massive body of a black dragon that tilts and tilts. The man who hit the black dragon’s neck and soared up at an angle descended and struck down his sword once again.

The cluster of stars that suddenly increased seemed as if it would cut off the black dragon’s head at any moment.

Kyaaa!!

The black dragon’s snout opened and a sword was caught between its teeth.

The man’s blue energy was concentrated into the sword, and the black dragon’s black energy was concentrated into the mouth. The concentration of energy was so enormous that the atmosphere swept by the flow of energy turned into a sharp wind and whirlwind that swept around.

Quaaa!!

And that antagonism was broken in a way that neither of them expected.

This was because the sword the man was holding was broken.

“Oh my…!”

The man’s sword could not withstand either the man’s energy or the black dragon’s energy. The sword, which was under the pressure of two enormous energies, was eventually unable to withstand and broke and exploded.

The man had a frustrated expression on his face, and the black dragon with a sword fragment stuck in its mouth was in pain.

However, the black dragon could not bear the pain and thrust its open snout straight at the man.

The black dragon, which had already eaten several practitioners, did not know the word sword, but it did understand that things like toothpicks were humans’ means of combat.

Black Dragon, well aware that a human who lost his weapon was helpless just as a bee is helpless after stinging, knew well that he had to take advantage of the opportunity now.

However, the black dragon’s judgment was a bit hasty.

“It was a difficult sword to obtain, but there was nothing I could do about it.”

A cluster of stars formed once again in the right hand of the man who threw away the sword handle without any hesitation.

Pacheonil ticket.

The bridge of the black dragon’s nose, which had defenselessly pointed its snout, was wrinkled.

The man who gained momentum tried to throw a second punch, but that fist only split the air.

This was because the black dragon flapped and flew up.

Kyaaa!

The black dragon, which was staring at the man with angry eyes in the air, probably decided that the situation was unfavorable and flew away.

The woman blinked as she watched the black dragon run away, then looked at the back of the man who had defeated the black dragon.

Is it possible for a single person to defeat the black dragon, the ruler of the sky?

The woman and the young man stared endlessly at the back of the man who defeated the black dragon.

The man who achieved the feat of defeating the black dragon single-handedly looked back at the two people and muttered.

“I’m hungry.”

“…Yes?”

“Can I be treated to a meal?”

Grumble!

A man who naturally rubs his stomach.

The young man and the woman looked at the man blankly and then nodded.

*** ***

There was an uproar in the village.

It was only natural that the black dragon started this rampage after the young man and woman disappeared from the village.

Originally, this would have been a punishing incident, but the punishment for the young man and woman was pushed back.

The villagers also saw with their own eyes the battle that took place after the black dragon was thrown to the ground, and it was not difficult to figure out that the main character of the battle was a man.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The villagers surrounded the man from a distance and whispered as if he had caught him scooping up food.

“Are you a practitioner..?”

“You defeated the black dragon, so you are a god!”

“Keooeok.”

Regardless of whether the villagers were whispering or not, the man who had eaten enough for five people opened his mouth leisurely.

“Whoa, I guess I’ll finally buy it now. Thank you.”

“…No. You saved my life, so I should treat you like this.”

“Hey, rookie! Rookie…”

The young man, who had suddenly elevated the man from a practitioner to a rookie, was about to ask something with his eyes sparkling.

“Stay away!”

“The priest’s coming!”

The young man’s mouth fell shut and the woman’s frown frowned.

A path opened between the people, and a priest wearing a long staff and a dragon mask appeared.

“Are you a practitioner?”

“Just a wanderer wandering aimlessly.”

“You saved the people of our village, right?”

“Because I couldn’t see people dying in front of my eyes.”

The priest frowned as he watched the man answer leisurely.

“I will give you some food, so please leave the village quickly.”

The woman raised her voice at the priest’s declaration.

“Priest! What is this! How can you treat the person who saved my life so disrespectfully?”

“Noisy! Wasn’t it you who broke the rules set by the Black Dragon?”

“Don’t you know that if this continues, everyone will starve to death!”

“The sky-like black dragon has a deep meaning! This too was just an ordeal, but you couldn’t endure the ordeal and ran wild like a goby! Because of you, the ordeal will be prolonged again!”

The woman gritted her teeth.

“What an ordeal and heaven it is to catch and kill people!”

“Profane!”

The priest lit up his eyes and glared at the woman.

“We are still alive today because the Black Dragon showed mercy and granted us territory! If it weren’t for the Black Dragon’s domain, our village would have suffered from attacks by beasts and spirits and perished long ago!”

“Such…!”

“Can I talk to you?”

The woman, who was trying to continue the argument, stopped when the man intervened.

“I’m sorry, but I’m in a difficult position to leave right away. I hope you can take care of me for a while…”

“Yes! of course! You can stay as long as you want!”

The woman became angry and accepted, and the priest frowned fiercely.

“Acolyte! I clearly told you to leave the village, but you didn’t hear me!”

“Ah, I heard you clearly.”

However, the man calmly gritted his teeth and spoke.

“So what are you going to do if I won’t leave?”

“….What?”

“I asked what you could do if I wouldn’t leave.”

The priest’s countenance hardened, and the man continued speaking calmly despite looking at the priest’s countenance.

“I don’t know what you can do, but if you can, try it. Until then, I will take care of you here.”

The villagers and priests who were watching the commotion suddenly realized something.

The gluttonous man in front of me was the one who defeated the black dragon that the villagers were so afraid of.

The priest became dumb and had no choice but to step down.

The villagers couldn’t help but look at the man with awkward eyes.

*** ***

The woman, the young man, and the man climbed the mountain.

“You can rest at home…”

“I guess I have to pay for the food.”

“It feels reassuring to have a rookie with us!”

“I’m not good at digging, but I can lift things as much as I want, so feel free to pick them up.”

The woman and the young man trusted the man and greedily gathered food. For ordinary people, it would not have been easy to walk up a mountain path with just one full basket, but the man walked lightly carrying three baskets.

The black dragon they had been worried about did not appear, and the young man and woman returned to the village with a relieved heart.

“Now! village! Let’s eat together!”

The woman tempted people with food she scavenged from the mountains. The people who were watching the priest could not do anything about the food in front of them.

The man ate a lot today again, and the young man who saw it was impressed.

“As expected, you, rookie, eat different things.”

“Hmm. It’s okay for you to treat me as a rookie, but I have more power to wield than you, and I’m just another person. When you’re tired, you need to rest comfortably, when you exert effort, you need to recover, and when you wake up, you feel energized.”

“And, indeed…is that so.”

one child asked.

“Um, where did the rookie over there come from…?”

“I came from the southwest of here. As for where I was born, well, I can’t explain it accurately because it’s a far away place where I have to sleep and walk for a hundred nights.”

“Wow…then how did you come here?”

“Well. As I was walking aimlessly, I ended up here.”

“Hey..”

A man patting the head of a child who lets out an exclamation. The village people asked various questions, perhaps encouraged by the sight of such a man.

The man didn’t answer everything, but he answered appropriately.

People were satisfied with just that.

The next day, the woman, the young man, and the man climbed the mountain. The three people were not the only ones who climbed the mountain.

Some villagers followed suit.

“Are you sure you’re okay? It could be dangerous…”

“Now there is no food at home, so I have nothing to eat. Anyway, whether you die this way or that way, it’s the same.”

The man who said that glanced at the man. The woman nodded silently.

The black dragon did not appear that day, and the villagers returned to the village with a bountiful harvest.

For the first time in a while, laughter bloomed in the village. Is there anything more satisfying than eating a full meal?

The man looked around at the villagers and opened his mouth.

“To be honest, I didn’t understand why something like that lived here even though it was flying in the sky.”

A woman who was laughing with the villagers turned her head to the man’s words.

“But I understand it now. This area is rich in natural energy, so it is definitely a blessed place.”

“Yes.”

The woman nodded, looking at the sky.

“So, there were several villages around here. The nature in this area is something that countless people can enjoy. Now… everything has disappeared due to the Black Dragon’s actions.”

“I see.”

The man also looked up at the sky in silence. The villagers followed the man and looked up at the sky.

“Hey…rookie.”

One of the villagers spoke up.

“I will ask you without any hesitation. If a black dragon appears, will you be able to defeat it?”

Women, young men, and villagers all looked at the man.

If I could not be afraid of the black dragon, I would be able to roam the mountains and fields every day. I might not always be able to reap as much harvest as I did today, but at least I wouldn’t have to worry about going hungry.

“To be honest, it’s difficult.”

The man, who received the hopeful gaze of the villagers, calmly denied the fact.

The man rolled up his sleeves. There was a dark red scar the size of a thumb on his left forearm. People’s faces frowned at the unusual sight of their skin discoloring black.

“When I was fighting with the black dragon, my sword broke. Well… I couldn’t say it was a good thing since I happened to get it while traveling, but it was my only weapon. The weapon that held up the black dragon’s teeth shattered and pierced the inside of the black dragon’s mouth, and in the battle that followed, its blood reached this place. The blood was so toxic that even after several days, the wound still hasn’t healed.”

“Umm….”

“Um.”

“I’m worried about how to deal with the flying guy, but it will be a difficult fight since I need to get both fists covered in blood to take him down with my bare fists.”

The villagers’ complexions darkened at the negative answer. The woman hastily changed the topic.

“Now, first of all, we have secured food, right? Right?”

“Umm…right.”

“Thanks to the rookie, we overcame the crisis.”

The villagers admitted that their greed was excessive and tried to change the mood by laughing.

next day.

Many people climbed the mountains and had an abundant supply of food. Everyone laughed except the priest.

Kyaaa!!

That smile didn’t last long.

It was because a black dragon appeared.

*** ***

The black dragon flew over the village for two days.

Because the man was guarding it, he did not attack the village directly, but he threatened the villagers if they tried to take even a single step away from the village.

Kyaaa!!

The black dragon that had been tormenting the village for a long time flew low, stirred up the village, and disappeared, leaving behind a mocking howl.

The woman was shocked by the movements of the black dragon, who guessed that if given time, division would occur in the village.

“The Black Dragon is angry!”

Sure enough, the priest thought it was time and shouted to the villagers.

“What do we do now? Even if that person exists, if the Black Dragon is protecting the sky like that, what can we do other than starve to death!”

The villagers bowed their heads.

Food wasn’t only available on the mountain. Since I couldn’t do any of the gathering activities I normally do, a lot of the food I had stored up for three days was used up.

“We must expel the author immediately and appease the wrath of the Black Dragon! The author is the devil, the devil! The devil who wants to destroy us who lived under the protection of the Black Dragon!”

“Nonsense! Do you think the black dragon will leave us alone like that?”

“Shut up! Are you still teasing that foolish tongue! If you had just followed the rules set by the Black Dragon, nothing would have happened! How could you break the rules set by heaven and still hope to live? Just like you said, we’re all starving to death!”

The man is a priest and a woman arguing. And as I looked at the two, I looked at the villagers who were shaking with anxiety and fear, and then looked at the sky.

“I am sorry.”

The argument between the priest and the woman stopped and the villagers saw the man.

“Ascetic…!”

“This was the land you lived in, and you were living with the black dragon that ruled the sky in your own way, but I, a stranger, came and broke the balance.”

The man looked around at the villagers and said.

“I will lure the black dragon from the top of my mountain. It will be difficult to defeat the black dragon, but it won’t be difficult to stall for time. It’s unlikely that the black dragon will leave you alone, so if you run far away, you may survive.”

“Rookie…!”

“How can you say that!”

“We’d rather be together!”

The man smiled bitterly and looked around at the villagers.

“I’m sorry, but what’s the use of being together?”

The villagers bowed their heads at the man’s cold words.

“Fighting with you will not help in the fight against the black dragon, and even if I run away with you, it will not help you escape, so the only solution is for me to lure the black dragon and you to run away.◦ #◦

“Rookie…”

“It was a few days, but it was quite enjoyable. Originally, wanderers like me were not easily accepted into the village, so it was my first time hanging out with people.”

After leaving those words, the man was about to launch himself towards the top of the mountain.

“Is there a way we can fight together?”

The man looked back at the words that caught him.

A young man with a pale complexion stood there.

*** ***

The man climbed to the top of the mountain and looked at the village. Villagers moving in a row were visible.

‘hmm.’

The man smiled bitterly as he looked at those who could only be seen as dots.

Even though he said he was not a rookie, maybe he thought of himself as a rookie.

A human being must not only eat, sleep, and rest, but also lean on and mingle with other people.

Nevertheless, he wielded his own standards and determined the roles of others.

The man remembered the priest glaring at him.

“The devil….”

Maybe that’s true. Whether that judgment was right or wrong, from the perspective of a priest who desperately tried to achieve harmony with the black dragon, the man who destroyed that harmony must have been a devil.

I am the devil who brought down your heaven.

If you say that in front of a priest after defeating the black dragon, what kind of expression will the priest make?

Will I break down, foaming at the mouth, holding the back of my head?

The man who imagined that scene burst into laughter.

Somehow, the man, feeling a little motivated, filled his lungs with air.

[You foolish creatures running wild as if you were the sky of this earth!]

[I will defeat you and become the sky of this land!]

Nakcheon Black Dragon (落天黑龍) Heavenly Demon Arrival (天魔到來).

A man who shook off the world of Lion’s Roar, which will later be recorded in the history of the Demonic Cult.

Kyaaa!!

The black dragon became enraged at the man’s provocation and rushed at him.

“Um.”

The man raised a cluster of stars in both fists and jumped towards the descending black dragon.

It was the beginning of a struggle that would last for three days and nights.
