let me

A fight between the mighty strongmen that even I cannot easily see.

My eyes are good, but my heart hurts a little.

‘All the magic circles are tearing!’

Maybe we should stop fighting?

But at that time, when I was worried that I would not be able to stop it without using karma, I heard my father’s voice.

“Feel so good.”

“… Are you okay?”

“It’s not common to see fights between strong men like that.”

“No, it’s a magical power.”

“I was trying to fix it anyway. Now, I can make a stronger and more convenient magic circle.”

“… That’s right.”

“Moreover, wouldn’t it be cheap enough to see their fight?”

Saying so, the father waved his hand.

Hwaaa-

The magic circles scattered here and there disintegrated, and a great amount of magic flowed into this place, creating a hemispherical shield to protect the guests.

The protective film, which used to emit a brilliant iridescent color, is being completed as it loses its color.

While exclamations were heard here and there, my father muttered.

“This should be fine.”

“… Isn’t that good enough?”

This protective shield seemed so hard that it would take quite a long time to break even if I made up my mind to hit it.

‘You’re amazing.’

It is also strange to disassemble and reassemble an already completed magic circle, but since he made such a thing in an instant, his father’s ability is astonishing.

Even the dragon, Arias, is looking at her father with her eyes wide open.

‘I’ve already surpassed the father I saw at the end of primeval life.’

Unlike primitive students who were peaceful, it must have been that their growth rate was accelerated as they came into contact with demons and gods.

“Was Kramune such a strong elf?”

“Is it Krammune?”

“That’s the elf’s name. He abdicated the throne after being defeated in the election of the Magic Kingdom held a few months ago.”

I knew that the kingdom of magic selects its king through elections.

But putting it down… … .

“You mean the author was the king of the kingdom of magic until last year?”

“Didn’t you know?”

“yes.”

“Well. Well, unless you’re a citizen of the Kingdom of Darkness, it’s only natural that you don’t know the name. There are many people on the continent who don’t even know His Majesty’s name.”

It was then.

aaang!!

A huge explosion erupted in the air, making it as bright as day.

“Wow!”

“It’s beautiful!”

Exclamation bursts out everywhere.

It’s like fireworks celebrating my father’s birthday.

I looked at the clock and it was past midnight.

‘It’s an amazing timing.’

I said holding my father’s hand.

“I wish you a happy birthday.”

Did you hear my voice?

The same words are heard everywhere.

“Happy birthday to Duke Lamot!”

Eyes converging in one place.

My father responded with a small bow in his gaze and raised the glass he was holding.

“Thank you! Keep on partying!”

The real party has begun.

* * *

The party that started in the evening continued into the morning.

The afternoon when I woke up after a long sleep. I joined Elise on Earth with Leon and came to the Devil Castle.

[I thought you would take a few days off, but you came sooner than I thought. What else happened?]

What else?

Anyone who sees it will know that I’m only causing trouble.

Anyway, I didn’t think that was what Carter was curious about, so I told him right away.

“My father really liked it when he received your gift.”

[…] Is that so?]

to pretend to be calm.

What should I do with those trembling eyes?

“My father said he did it himself later to say thank you.”

[…] i get it.]

“It’s true that you came because you have business. I have something to discuss.”

[what?]

I told Keshin about the black dragon. Carter, who had been listening intently, frowned when I finished talking.

[The black dragon seems to be formidable.]

“Isn’t it the Earth’s first catastrophe? It must be seen that it is on a different level from the Great Demons, such as the Skeleton King or Rotten Water.”

[So how do I get rid of him?]

“You came to discuss that.”

Carter burst out laughing.

[I know you already have all the plans in your head. I’ll follow you, so just tell me.]

How much is this guy overestimating me?

‘I’m not that smart.’

The moment I was about to say that there was no such thing, let’s have a serious talk, I saw Leon and Elise nodding their heads.

what? Wasn’t it just Cater?

“… … .”

[Tell me. What’s your plan?]

“Well… Actually, I have a plan in mind.”

[I thought so.]

don’t look at me like that

that it’s burdensome

“Let me ask you one thing. Will your demonic energy reach Australia where the black dragon sleeps? I hope it will be like when I called the Skeleton King.”

[It must be difficult because it is so far away.]

“Then I’ll have to get closer and lure you in.”

[invitation? Shouldn’t we fight in Australia?]

“Of course we have to fight here.”

I have the arrows Keshin gave me, but I don’t think they will be enough.

‘The battlefield should be Pangea.’

No matter how black dragon I am, unless I am a transcendental person, I will not be able to defeat me in Pangea.

[According to Keshin’s words, his intelligence must be quite outstanding. If they even notice that we are luring them, they will immediately destroy the Earth first.]

“You can make it not happen. I am confident.”

Carter put on a worried expression.

[…] Aren’t you in too much of a hurry? I think it’s better to proceed slowly.]

I looked straight into Kater’s eyes and said.

“Do you think that spending some time here will make us much stronger than we are now?”

Caterina and I have already passed the stage where we can grow quickly.

“We can do well. you can do well Trust me.”

[…] i get it.]

I turned my eyes to Alice.

“I’ll ask Alice for administrative procedures. Just in case, I’d like to have some supermen stationed near the black dragon’s nest.”

“Please leave it to me.”

“If nothing goes wrong, the black dragon raid will start in a week.”

so we broke down

* * *

came back to earth

“Do you have business on Earth, lord?”

“Someone to meet… No, there is a God.”

“Are you God?”

Since there is only one God embodied on Earth right now, the answer comes immediately.

“ah… You mean Loki.”

“Okay, let me call you for a moment.”

I called Loki’s apostle, Kanghyun.

He answered the phone after two beeps.

[Hello? Are you a dragon?]

It’s not a hero or a saint, but a hero, what a hybrid.

“… Just call me Martin.”

[Oh, how dare I call the name of the hero.]

I think you’ve heard something similar to this somewhere?

[But why did you call me?]

“I want to meet Loki.”

For a moment, a chattering sound could be heard over the phone.

“… excuse me?”

[I will give you the address. Can you come?]

“I see.”

[See you later!]

The phone hung up and a text message came shortly after.

“Are you Korean?”

“Because he is Korean. Now, let’s go.”

I opened the fantasy door and moved to the promised place with Leon.

* * *

At the coordinates that Kanghyun had taken, it was a house.

“It just seems like a house. Could it be Kanghyun Hunter’s house?”

It’s clear that this guy isn’t normal either, asking to have our first meeting at his house.

I shook my head and pressed the doorbell.

After a few seconds, the door suddenly opened and two men came out to greet us.

“Welcome, hero! And the knight!”

“welcome!”

“… thank you for the invitation.”

“… Nice to meet you.”

As I replied to my bewilderment, Loki came out and grabbed Leon’s hand.

“Come on, come in. There are a few paparazzi resident around here, and it would be difficult to get a picture taken by them.”

Without refusing, he went into the house and asked Loki.

“Why are there paparazzi?”

“It’s because he carelessly made fun of his mouth.”

I could see Kanghyun distorting his face as if he had a lot of regrets, but I couldn’t even pay attention because my eyes went elsewhere.

“Hey, what is this all about?”

“Whoa, it’s a collection that my apostle bastard has accumulated throughout his life.”

Animated characters are drawn on the walls everywhere, and models of the characters are placed in front of the walls.

A sight as if the characters were watching us.

My breath is choking.

“How are you, hero?”

Kanghyun asks with his eyes shining.

I couldn’t think of anything to say.

“… Incredible.”

It was sincere.

In a way, it’s really great.

I never thought anyone would decorate a house like this.

“thank you! Please sit here for now.”

I sat down in the living room, lowering my eyes that kept trying to go back.

“Haha, if you had told me in advance, I would have prepared the proper food.”

Talking like a normal person, what Kanghyun brought was cola and popcorn, but it didn’t seem too strange to me, who was overwhelmed by the sight of the house.

“What fun are you trying to do?”

Loki asked with his eyes shining brightly.

“Didn’t you have the one you gave me last time?”

“yes? ah! You mean the heat shield?”

“… Yes, that.”

Once upon a time, right after the second return, I got an artifact from Loki that might help me catch the Firebird.

It was a very fancy-looking cloak, and it was said to be a ghost that allowed it to move without incident even in the fire of the firebird.

You said you stole it from some god, maybe?

But now I don’t need that.

It’s because I don’t know where the phoenix is, once I figure it out, I can catch the phoenix with just the demon sword and my pure strength.

So I came to exchange the price for something else.

“Change it.”

“Hmm… Why don’t you think again? That’s great. It’s something that even an ordinary person can endure for a few seconds in a place as hot as the sun if they wear it.”

“Was that enough?”

“Then I will give you something.”

“What… done. I want something different.”

Tsk – Loki clicked his tongue and said okay when I brought my hand to the bracelet.

“Just take it. I have no interest in taking back what I once gave.”

“… Then I am grateful.”

“So what do you want?”

“I heard that you are a master of illusion magic… right?”

Loki shrugged and said.

“Sure! Are you still writing illusions? Thanks to you, I can be present like this without any burden! Please touch my body.”

“… it’s okay.”

The touch Loki felt when he let us into his house was certainly not an illusion.

“My illusions deceive even the eyes of the law! Of course, fighting with this body would be a bit unreasonable.”

That’s what he said, but I clearly remember the fact that Loki knocked out Leon, who was an 8-star superman, with just one word.

“Martin.”

“Well?”

“I’m sorry, but I can’t teach you illusion magic. I know you’re talented, but even so, the amount of time it will take to learn this will have to be measured in thousands of years.”

“I don’t intend to learn it?”

“Then why did you ask?”

I took out a picture from my bosom and showed it to him.

“Can you make me transform into this form for a while with illusion magic?”

“Is this a dragon?”

“uh.”

In the picture, there was a dragon who was jealous of the black dragon and Keshin’s father.

After looking at the painting for a moment, Loki pursed his lips.

“Five… I get it, I get it. I’m going to use it to catch the black dragon.”

‘That’s great… … .’

He swallowed the exclamation that was about to escape his lips and nodded.

“right. Is it possible? I think ten minutes should be enough.”

“There’s nothing I can’t do.”

“Oh, yes? Then I’ll change the price for that.”

“Do you know that you’re a bit arrogant to ask me to give you something else so proudly when you’ve already received a gift?”

“I said I would return the heat shield, but you didn’t get it. and… Originally, a person like me is a little shameless.”

“Kuk-ku.”

Loki opened his mouth with a small laugh.

“Sounds like fun, but it’s not enough.”

“Are you saying you won’t?”

“no.”

Loki wiped his lips with his tongue and spoke to me.

“I will transform myself into that dragon. No, let me do it! It sounds like fun!”
