There was only one reason why Skal traveled alone on the Arcana Continent.
It was because they were all boring.
Shining, Union, Bohemian
The goal of those who reached out to him.
If you join me, we can surpass Shining.
I think it would be difficult for you to play solo from now on,
Please give us a chance
A world completely different from reality.
His goal in Arcana was to reign over others.
Because he had been doing it as much as he wanted in the reality.
However, Hoyeol was different.
He was strong, but he didnt show off his strength.
He could give an order, but he didnt give any.
He always put himself on the frontline
He moved others from the heart.
Up to that point, it was simply curiosity.
I am Lee Hoyeol.
Skal thought Hoyeol was just an unusual guy like him.
So he said arrogantly.
In front of reporters from around the world.
I have no business with these worthless people. Lee Hoyeol, I want to talk to you. The great evil dragon hunter.
When he thought about it now.
He wanted to hide in a rat hole.
It couldnt be helped.
Dragon.
By subduing the king of all things into submission.
He wanted to climb on top of it.
The only person who didnt laugh at that absurd goal.
Hoyeol was the only one.
It wasnt a metaphor or anything.
Skal clearly remembered Hoyeols expression.
I couldnt find any hint of ridicule.
With an extremely serious attitude and posture like usual.
Hoyeol nodded his head when he heard the goal that even Skal himself thought was impossible.
That first meeting was the opportunity for Skal to join the Holy War Allied Force.
Therefore.
I assure you, even if something happens in the future. You cant reach the Dark Dragon.
Even though those words were sudden.
Skal didnt drop his teacup.
There must be a good reason why Hoyeol said that.
Instead, he nodded.
Actually, I did guess that. Dark Dragon Since it is the name that all the dragons cried out. It must be an especially great dragon. It could perhaps be called the leader of dragons.
There was some information he had learned while performing the dragon knight class quest.
A distant past.
Stories about a war between the Mage Tower and the dragons.
Most of it was unconfirmed information.
But that alone was enough to tell what kind of beings were dragons.
I am sure you know. For the dragons, who are called the kings of all things, there is no clear hierarchy among them. But if all the kings were sad and cried
Skal expressed sincerely.
I can see why you said it so firmly.
The grand goal of a true dragon knight.
Skal saw that and came running.
In front of the magnificence of the Dark Dragon, he had no choice but to take a step back.
Thank you for your precious words, Sir Hoyeol.
You have to know to truly be able to see.
It was thanks to Hoyeols advice.
But Skal was not discouraged.
Hadnt he witnessed it?
The Arcana Continent was wide and there were many dragons on it!
There were many dragons to target besides the Dark Dragon.
Soon, Skals complexion brightened again.
Skal asked Hoyeol.
More importantly, is the Old Dragon Eunaxus safe?
.
.
.
Inwardly, I was speechless.
Was this really Skal, who had been appearing mysterious for over ten years?
Well, it seemed as long as the topic was about dragons, he wouldnt stop talking?
After Skal left, I checked the time belatedly.
Huh.
We had talked so much that Grandfel made that huh sound.
In that regard, consider yourself fortunate, Skal.
Ill tolerate it because we have a give and take.
Considering Grandfels usual emotion.
Forget the three visits to the cottage.
Even if he tried to visit, I wouldnt meet him again next time.
But at this moment.
I, Lee Hoyeol, was sighing in relief inside.
You manage to get through it somehow, Dark Dragon.
I want to ride the Dark Dragon!
When I heard those words, I seriously agonized.
Do you want me to play horse with you?
Of course.
Due to his formality, there was no way Grandfel would play horse with someone.
I hated it when my clothes looked disheveled.
How could I do something like that?
But it probably will be a different case if its my niece, Arang.
So I couldnt help but say something cold to him.
It wont happen no matter what!
However, I realized it only after spitting it out.
Skal didnt know that I was the Dark Dragon.
This was why people said that you wouldnt be able to live comfortably after committing sins.
People didnt say that for no reason.
If I freaked out by myself, I was overreacting.
So I couldnt help but feel wary.
Grandfels tone must have been firm.
So I thought Skal might feel discouraged.
Of course.
I never thought that just knowing the dragons would help.
Skal immediately turned his attention to the other dragons.
Anyway, youre wise, Skal.
There are many dragons you can ride beside the Dark Dragon.
Of course, I was the first to ever ride a dragon.
I earned that achievement without intending it
You too must work hard to acquire that ability.
Just take on that ordeal, Skal!
It was not easy to get on a dragon without any achievement.
I learned this from experience. Skipping the middle step wasnt always good.
I have so many things stretched out that I cant help it.
Indeed.
Hadnt I dug a lot of holes and wells?
Whenever there was a situation that required the middle step.
I inevitably had to supplement it.
So dont be so envious of my achievement.
If he saw this, he wouldnt feel jealous.
Sksk
What I tirelessly picked up was, of course, a feather pen.
Considering all the time I lost chatting with Skal, it didnt look like I would have time to even tilt my teacup.
Not only that. I still had some work that needed to be done as the chief of the Mage Tower.
Even if the cat took care of the tower exit applications.
There was additional burdensome work that I brought upon myself.
Review the applications for permission to use the connector.
The subject was not limited to the mages of the Mage Tower.
It couldnt be compared to the tower exit application.
There must be a lot of applications piled up on the desk in the office.
Would it end if I took care of that?
Nope.
Newly updated class quest.
Without fail, it was written there.
The damn quest goal.
Train your weak body. (Repeat)
My eyes are already getting blurry.
On the Arcana continent, I froze to death.
In the reality, as soon as I came back, I died from overwork.
My poor life
*
Arcana Continent.
The Iron Castle was on full emergency alert.
The leader, Chainwalker.
The blacksmith, Worswyle.
The pilot, Gunner.
Regardless of each persons responsibilities.
All the dwarves were busy banging their hammers.
The sound of metal echoes from every corner of Iron Castle.
Clang Clang!
Their thick fingers even went numb.
There was no time to rest.
Gunner shouted, barely wiping away his sweat.
If I had known this would happen, I wouldnt have taken over the pilot seat.
As much as they risked their lives on every flight, pilots had an advantage.
They had the privilege of being excluded from insignificant duties on the Iron Castle.
But this situation was far from insignificant.
Gunner continued as if he were still dumbfounded.
All of a sudden the dragons appear in groups! Do dwarfves legs suddenly grow double the size?
The only weakness of the Iron Castle.
Bad weather.
The Iron Castle was said to be armed with highly advanced technology.
But in the face of nature, it had low efficiency.
Just be glad you didnt fall, Gunner.
Of course, I am glad, but
Why dont you just your use time to hammer more nails?
Sigh.
So the dragons appeared.
At those moments when they cried.
It was like a nightmare for the dwarfs.
Clang clang!
Chainwalker muttered while pounding his hammer.
What made them so sad that they made that rain?
It was a heavy rain that had never happened before.
It rained so hard that the Iron Castle was leaking.
Although not as long as the elves or the dragons.
The dwarfs had lived for a very long time.
Still, they couldnt understand the current situation.
Worswyle opens his mouth curtly,
Didnt I tell you? It must be because of the Dark Dragon.
Dark Dragon
I dont know what it is, but its creepy.
What is?
This has never happened before, Chainwalker.
Even just one dragon appearing would be surprising.
This was not just one dragon.
These were dragons.
There were a dozen of them.
A being that could have that much influence
Im sure, change will come to the continent one way or the other.
He was certain.
The dragons disappeared as if it had been a lie.
The meaning of the clear sky was simple.
It looks like they found that Dark Dragon.
Im honestly scared.
Who wouldnt?
Clang!
Worswyle took his hand off the hammer and looked at the continent.
Thanks to the strong rain washing away even the dust, the view was clear and they could see beyond the horizon.
Nevertheless, there was no noticeable movement.
Not only the Empire, but also the demons seem to be afraid.
Since the king of all things cried, that sound must have reached all things.
Chainwalker and Worswyle.
The dwarves were concerned about that.
This way, a new legend is written.
That name.
The legend of the Dark Dragon.
Chainwalker asked Worswyle subtly.
Arent you sad, our legendary blacksmith?
Legends contained power.
Because Worswyle tried to write a legend.
He knew what that meant.
Im disappointed.
In the vast Arcana Continent.
There were not many things that could be called legends.
That was probably why Chainwalker asked him if he was sad.
The legend of the Dark Dragon would be talked about for a long time.
The birth of the ethereal iron had faded.
But Worswyle shook his head.
You still dont understand, Chainwalker.Findd new 𝒔tories on nov/e(l)bin(.)com
What do you mean?
Even in legends, there are ups and downs.
The legend of the ethereal iron depended on the performance of its owner, Hoyeol.
It would be talked about by more people later, but
How would it compare to the current legend of the Dark Dragon?
That legend.
It was safe to say that it reverberated throughout Arcana.
Furthermore.
They made the world tremble just by mentioning it, not by revealing it.
The Dark Dragon hadnt actually revealed its form in the Arcana yet.
So there was no reason to feel sad.
Because it wasnt even comparable in the first place.
However, he was still concerned.
I just have to hope that the new legend doesnt run wild.
About that, Chainwalker and Worswyle went silent.
They kept their mouth shut and didnt talk.
Coincidentally, the two dwarves were thinking the same thing.
Does Sir Hoyeol know of this situation?
But they didnt think of it for long.
All of a sudden.
Something was captured in the sky.
The air split.
A huge figure emerged from there.
It was a dragon.
!!!
They were in the middle of repairing.
So the Iron Castle could neither move forward nor retreat.
They have no choice but to face the dragon.
Chainwalker opened his mouth quietly.
Damn it, can the king of all things even read our mind?
How would I know?
Shit, this is not how I want things to end.
The dragons body completely blocked the view of the Iron Castles window.
But, that appearance somehow?
It wasnt unfamiliar.
Hmm?
Worswyles eyes twitched.
Even if the wind and the rain had made it difficult to see, he had seen that dragon once.
So he wondered if that was the reason why it felt familiar.
That was not why.
The only thing that looked familiar.
It was the wing that shone brilliantly.
Even if the size was different.
W-What?
Worswyle.
The keen eye of the continents best blacksmith quickly recognized it.
An afterimage appeared overlapping with the wings.
He was certain, those brilliantly shining dragons wings
It was like the magic tool that Hoyeol was wearing!
H-How?
Hundreds of possibilities come to mind.
However.
Those random thoughts didnt last long either.
Slide
Iron Castle.
The spirit that had been staying in her seat in a noble posture.
Haiel started moving from her seat.
She walked up to the dragon and calmly opened her mouth.
You finally understand Masters intentions, Eunaxus.
The dragon responded to that.
It was a clear mistake on my part to doubt the Dark Dragon.
The meaning of that short conversation was simple.
Chainwalker, Worswyle, Gunner
No, all the dwarves were shocked.
N-No way, the Dark Dragon is Sir Hoyeol?
