Follow-up on Jeju Island proceeded quickly as the members of the Carlione Family arrived.

The disposal of the remnants gathered in Junk Town and the clearing of the tangerine farm that was making a new drug from the ghost tangerine trees. And even the rough gathering and organization of forces throughout Jeju Island.

All of this was done in less than a day.

“Then are you going back now?”

A small pier that I used when I came to Jeju Island.

There, we talked while watching the scene of Fafnir’s corpse being loaded onto a large ship.

“I guess so. When I go back, I have a lot of work to do.”

“Oh, I said Carlione’s little boss. Then, will we meet again soon?”

“Perhaps.”

Since this incident was led by me, my father would, of course, want to let me go.

There was no doubt that he had a tendency to maintain public and private affairs in matters related to his family.

“I learned a lot from your side, Daesuk! I’m sure you can see the full meaning of Aura!”

“““I’m sure!!”””

I nodded as I watched the members of the Cheongya Tea Workshop send me off, though it was a bit excessive, and I reached out my hand to Yoon Kwang-soo and said,

“Would you like to come back to talk about equipment later?”

“Yes. At that time, I will see you in person. Ambassador.”

“yes. See you soon.”

And lastly, I look at the children of Halla Catholic Church looking this way.

“brother. Go?”

“Brother. Are you going back to land?”

“Are you coming back?”

The children were crying or making sad faces, as if they were aware that I was going to leave.

And among those children, there was Jeanne, who was looking at me with a more determined expression than anyone else.

“brother. You can see it again. Right?”

No, I was forced to endure it.

It was noticeable that the corners of her eyes were quivering.

“Yes, I can see you again. So listen carefully to the Bishop and Sister Maria over there. I’ll check later.”

As I stroked Jeanne’s hair, which I had become accustomed to, and talked, the children one by one rushed at me and clung to my legs and waist.

“Brother, thank you!”

“Goodbye brother!”

“Next time you come, tell me something else!”

From the point of view of the children, it must have only been one day.

I didn’t even know that I was attached to the children.

“Okay, next time I’ll tell you the story of Father Andersen, the demon slayer.”

“Yes?”

The children’s expressions all hardened.

… … Are you expecting too much?

“young master. They say they are ready to depart.”

Then, the voice of an organization member came from behind.

Apparently, Fafnir’s corpse and items from his rare were already loaded.

“ah. go first I will follow you soon.”

“Yes. young master.”

Now it’s really time to leave Jeju Island.

While everyone was looking at me, I was embarrassed to say something particularly sentimental, so I said it with a natural smile as I normally do to my friends.

“See you next.”

I’m sure we’ll see each other soon.

* * *

“This… … really… … That’s amazing.”

Carlione’s mansion.

There, there was Fafnir’s corpse lying in the middle of the garden, and men looking at it with interest.

“You mean Eugene caught this?”

“yes. Isn’t there a bishop who handles Ascalon in Halla Cathedral? They say that they caught it together with the child.”

“There are some scratches on the outside, but… … There are no major external wounds, but I don’t understand how they caught it.”

The father and the man looked around with doubts about Fafnir, who was strangely normal.

The man’s name is Cowalnoz Garcia.

As the boss of the Hunter Guild and the family in charge of disposing of monster materials in Korea, he was one of the best experts in dismantling monsters and a technician called to dismantle dragons.

“Thank you for coming this far. Don Cowalnoz.”

The reason I called him here is simple.

It is to ensure that the fact that Fafnir’s corpse is with us is not known to others.

Not just another monster, but a named mob called Fafnir that is even mentioned in mythology.

It was clear that we would be in a very difficult situation if the fact that such a dragon’s corpse was in our possession even entered the information network of the government or other places.

You know why, like the countless handshake requests coming from here and there just because you won the lottery.

“hahahaha. It’s not someone else’s request, it’s my nephew’s request, so of course you have to come. And… … How many times in my life will I have the opportunity to dismantle a monster this big.”

Kowalnose puts his hand on my shoulder, smiling brightly at my words.

“Rather, I want to say thank you to you, so don’t worry too much, Eugene.”

Judging by the use of his name and the title of nephew, he seemed to have accepted this as a personal favor, not as Carlione’s event.

Well, it’s much easier for me to accept it that way.

“Yes. thank you. uncle.”

“yes. Well then, I’ll have to prepare soon. Would you like to step back for a second? It seems like I have to step out with all my might after a long time.”

Stretching out only his index and middle fingers as if making a gun shape, he approaches Fafnir’s corpse.

A moment later, a green aura formed on his fingertips.

Just by looking at it, the anticipation (銳气) begins to slowly cut Fafnir’s scales.

“hahahaha! Such resistance from the beginning! Interesting!”

Cowalnose, who said so, but peeled off scales and bones as if it wasn’t too difficult.

If he was alive, Fafnir’s scales, which had already become a corpse, could not withstand his aura as expected and began to be cut off quietly.

The 2-hour dismantling show that followed.

With the help of the disassembly team, which consisted of as few people as possible, the materials began to pile up one by one on one side of the garden, and when all the work was finally finished, the sun was already setting.

“Huh, I guess this will be enough for now. Then, as you said, would you like to take some of Fafnir’s meat and scales?”

“of course. You worked hard. uncle.”

“What is suffering? yep, money. Let’s have a drink together. I’ve been airlifting some amazing stuff.”

“yes? I’m looking forward to hearing you say that, and no one else. Come on, go.”

“Yes. money.”

After watching the backs of the two smiling and disappearing. As the cost of dismantling, I paid a certain amount of materials and looked at the scene unfolding in front of me.

Perfectly coated scales and bones. And tanks full of red blood and meat.

But the most eye-catching among them was none other than a red orb the size of an adult man’s fist.

‘Dragon heart.’

The biggest reason why dragons were able to become the suzerain of magic, and what is called a magical fusion reactor.

Slowly approach it, the safest place in the world. put into the cube.

I can’t use it right now, so I’d better put it here for now.

“What I need to use right now is… … .”

Next, I look at the blood in the huge tank.

“There’s something people overlook, but the most important thing in Fafnir’s body is this.”

Fafnir’s blood.

According to the song of the Nibelungs, Fafnir’s blood has the ability to make anyone who wears it immortal.

Of course, there was a balance problem in the game, so I didn’t give them immortality-like morale abilities, but what was certain was that it was a skill that I really needed right now.

After taking off the Dispater, I naturally stepped into the bloody water.

The tank’s internal temperature felt warm despite the fact that Fafnir had been dead for a long time.

And I could feel the fact that Fafnir’s blood was slowly penetrating into my body and changing.

[Fafnir’s blood burrows into the user’s body!]

[The attribute [Natural Healing (C)] reacts to Fafnir’s blood.]

[[Natural Healing (C)] changes to [Natural Healing (A)].]

[‘Item: Ancient Berserker’s Ring (Sealed).’ starts sucking the blood of the evil dragon.]

[The seal of ‘Ancient Berserker’s Ring (Sealed).’ is dissolving!]

[‘Ancient Berserker’s Ring (Sealed).’ changes to ‘Ancient Berserker’s Ring (眞).’]

[Name: Ancient Berserker’s Ring]

[Rating: Artifact]

[Type: Ring]

[Description: A ring worn by ancient berserkers. Absorbing the blood that flows from the user, this ring greatly enhances the user’s strength in return.

This ring, which absorbs the blood of the evil dragon Fafnir, causes a fear effect just by wearing it.]

“done.”

The ability that I needed to become stronger as I absorbed fear was finally in my hands.

After that, Fafnir’s blood begins to cool down and become transparent.

It loses all of its abilities and loses its unique color.

Coming out of the liquid that no longer had any effect, I smoked an aura to blow away the moisture and changed into my normal clothes.

“… … Then the only thing left is the last one.”

Considering the upcoming midterm exam, it was very important to improve my ability, so I decided that it would be better to take care of it within today rather than procrastinate, so I went straight to my room.

Unlike last time, this time I am thoroughly prepared.

First, put a towel in your mouth and wear ‘Midas gloves’ on both hands.

Then, I sat cross-legged on the bed and looked at a button that was still lit in front of my eyes.

[(N) narrative imprint]

A new ability obtained from a battle with a villain not too long ago.

It was a mechanism in which new abilities were engraved into the body according to the narrative I had written, but the other day, I had a memory of having suffered quite a hardship after blindly pressing it without any preparation.

‘It will be a little different this time.’

Thinking so, I clicked the button and at the same time, a thought flashed through my head.

‘Last time I caught a wolf and got a wolf tattoo. then… … Can I get a dragon tattoo because I caught Fafnir?’

No, wait.

dragon tattoo?

evil dragon?

At that moment, I started to feel a sharp pain in my right arm. I dropped the towel on my mouth thinking about what was about to happen.

“No way——”

───────!!

Purple flames begin to engulf his entire right arm.

“Turn it off!”

Unlike the wolf, the pain was so severe that even the voice could not come out properly.

Writhing in terrible pain, as if putting one’s arm into lava, he prays for the pain to end as soon as possible.

The wolf picture drawn on the right shoulder blade and the joint on the dragon pattern on the arm begin to connect as one, and the pain reaches its limit.

Pain as if consciousness would be cut off any moment.

Blood was leaking from his gums, where the towel had already been released, and his left and right hands, which were clenched tightly, turned white.

And when the flames are finally extinguished.

“I thought you were behind! really… … !”

Seeing the black dragon’s inscription on my right arm, I immediately confirmed a new ability that came to my mind.

“This crazy——.”

Performance isn’t bad.

if there is a problem… … .

“young master. I knocked like that, but why did you answer… … uh?”

That Alessia opened my door and came in.

“That arm… … black dragon? Is it a tattoo?”

“ah.”

He said that he saw me holding my right arm in great pain.

“… … I understand.”

“Wait a minute, Alessia? This is what you mean——”

“it’s okay. I am… … uh, what… … You think it’s pretty cool?”

“No, it’s not really——”

“Then let’s go out. Have a good time. young master.”

──Boom!

In the end, despite my desperate excuse, the visit was closed in an instant.

Only then did I acknowledge the reality that had come, and I sighed while washing my face dry with both hands.

“… … Yapal.”
