Have a Meal Before You Go

Echo groaned for days.

Loneliness due to the absence of HYDRA, when he had six heads, he made a person very sick.

“Shut up.”

Echo grunts. Well, it's not that I don't know the sadness of losing my pet.

“Well, you're not going to die. Don't worry about it. ”

A three-class master with a one-class intermediate monster. He was a pet of such a creature, and the echo he raised was clearly insane.

Anyway, I didn't think it was dead.

‘It must have been Poriner. ’

That was a reasonable thought. If so, it is quite painful. They're bothersome to control five class masters, even the Spirit Kings.

Chulho buries himself in a chair. A chair that firmly supports your lower back is comfortable, and you bend your neck significantly backwards.

“Echo.”

“Why.”

“I mean, ”

Chulho thought about it quietly and said.

“It's been about 20 years since I fought someone and didn't think I'd lose. Now I've lost the sense of defeat. The human brain is structured that way. If you don't feel it for a long time, you lose it. ”

Ridiculous.

Echo frowns.

“Are you trying to brag? ”

“No.”

Cheolho frowned with a dry face.

“But if you can't meet them, you can't fight them. Imagine if I tried to fight him, but he kept running out of reach. ”

“....... ”

That's true.

Echo recalled the past encounter with Cheolho. Chulho was quite helpless against the running echoes. When I remembered that time, I felt ashamed. It was the brightest time in Echo's life.

“First of all, I think there's a dimensional shift in the ability of the early Demon King. ”

Echo, who was locked in his imagination, glanced at the helm quietly.

“And then, like, dark magic. I think they have unimaginable powers. The power of the early Demon King is quite impressive. ”

Echo blinks quietly.

“Should this body rejoice or should I grieve? ”

There was confusion about identity. In the cruel fourteenth Demon King, it seemed like somehow he had become a peaceful child. On the other hand, the Inviting Demon King is so strong, it's quite shrugged... Why is he so nervous?

“And there's not a single one of them on the continent against you? ”

I suddenly wonder.

How many people put their name on this absolute person's life?

“Don't you remember the names? ”

“A lot.”

Most of the people left in Chulho's memory were colleagues.

“There were a lot of lizards, right? ”

“A lot.”

“Khan tells me you've been picking on all the lizards. ”

“Well, something like that. ”

“Are you satisfied with all the lizards you see? Did you rob them all? Did you drain the seed? ”

What the hell are they talking about?

“I only took the artifact to get to you, man. ”

Echo was an interesting face.

“Were there any dragons you could remember? ”

“There was.”

“The Blue Dragon? ”

Aramir Lantero. Chulho stares at Echo. The loneliness in their eyes was young. Cheolho jumps up and slaps Echo's head.

“Aah!”

“Don't talk about it. ”

“...... ”

Echo did nothing this time. It was you who depleted the power of Aramir Lantero to induce hibernation.

Chulho took a deep breath and spoke.

“Well, there were a few others besides her. ”

Cheolho thought carefully. Some of the dragons in Espan remain memorable. In addition, it made many connections on the eastern continent. I met countless new people, spirits, and heroes from that world.

But a dragon reminds me of that dragon.

“Come to think of it, it was a dragon that rarely hung out with humans. ”

.

About 30 years ago.

At the end of the Noryangjin Academy, I was walking around the house, thinking about eating.

At that time, Chulho had only one ticket in his pocket, but he was deeply concerned about what to eat.

But I also have to buy some cigarettes, and I can think of a lot of living expenses. Noryangjin's prices are seriously cheap, so I could do a lot with 10,000 won in cash.

So I turned to the convenience store. A pack of cigarettes, a can of coffee in a plastic bag and about to open the convenience store door.

The white square door welcomed Cheolho, not the convenience store door.

When I looked back in anger, the convenience store had turned white everywhere that was not there.

At that time, Chulho saw countless portraits.

Tiny portraits were lined up like an egg, and huge portraits on either side were glowing golden.

One of them twitches and clicks! It flies like a suction to Cheolho, but it's clear to the eye.

The portrait depicted, roughly, a giant meteorite swarming into a single Earth-like planet.

Now that I think about it, it was time to get first class.

That day, Chulho was summoned to another world and obtained the first class, 'World Destroyer’.

However, it was stunning that Chulho had a choice in the unrealistic situation.

When he regained consciousness, he crashed into a very small village on the western side of the Empire.

Cheolho was just lying in the middle of the village.

I was naked, but I remembered that I was surprised to forget my shame.

The villagers were quite kind and kind, welcoming a foreigner, Chulho.

The name Steel Ho was very difficult to pronounce there. So, Chulho named himself ‘Maze’ after the village.

The maze is easy to pronounce and somehow friendly, so people liked it.

Among them, Pata, the town blacksmith, was interested in himself. Pata was a middle-aged man with muscle tone, and sometimes he thought that his muscles were too hard, so he was a stone.

He's quite cute, he's still memorable. I used to hold a hammer while my muscles moved sharply in my charred skin.

Thump! Thump! Kick!

Chulho lived in Pata's forge, learned the language here, and learned things like that.

However, the more I lived in the village, the more I realized it was quite strange.

First things first.

The back mountain of the village is home to a massive sky mountain. The Sky Mountain is the western border of the Empire, and it is a huge mountain that rises through the clouds.

The mountain is made of very good quality black iron, and the farming equipment of the villagers was probably the best quality on the continent.

Pata used to make this and that out of that incredible metal, but no one was strangely looking for a village.

Chulho once asked me.

- Don't you sell products made of this metal to the Empire?

- Uh-huh.

- Why not?

- It's just...

He explained roughly that it was just being thorough. I didn't understand it then.

Just a few months after Chulho was in town, the mountain sky cracked open.

Monsters pour down from there. It was the outpost of the so-called "Invasion of the Demon King's Espan Continent."

Cheolho was chopping down a quality oak tree at the foot of Pata and Sky Mountain that day. As the monsters poured down from the sky, Pata left the axe and ran away.

- Mr. Pata, there's a cliff!

I don't think I heard Cheolho's voice.

Pata jumps straight down the cliff.

And...

Kugu!

Puddle-puddle-puddle-

A giant black dragon flew up from below the cliff.

Pata opens her big mouth to the monsters that are pouring out.

Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo!

Horrible energy gathers. Then, Zachman Bress shot out.

Bress wipes out the monsters. However, Pata has not returned to the village since then.

.

“Black Dragon? ”

“Well, well. ”

“Why don't you ask Khan? ”

“I asked. ”

But unlike other dragons, black dragons build completely unique lives. As opposed to the Blue Dragons gathering at Water Land and the Red Dragons gathering at Dragon Mountain.

In addition, Khan did not live on the continent of Espan for long, so it was not very bright in geography.

“He's pretty worthless. ”

“Me? ”

A car appeared next to me and asked me if I could hear it.

“Yes, you. Ugh!”

Echo was startled.

“You son of a bitch! How dare you insult a dragon? You died today. Follow me!”

It seemed like it was going to be another day. Cheolho began to seriously think about how to save those two idiots.

.

Kugu! Kugu!

Aramin wakes up.

There have been many earthquakes lately. She rises above the sea level and looks at the land on the other side.

Something was definitely going on inland over there, far away.

At the same time, I began to feel a strange energy in her senses.

Spot-!

An energy I've never felt before in my life. She quietly thought.

‘This is very similar to their energy, which is called the Western Dragon. ’

Why do I feel it now?

Was it sealed somewhere? ’

Suddenly, she recalled that Cheolho, a Western dragon, had been asleep for a long time.

"Were you sleeping? ’

It was strange for her. She's dominated the East Sea for the last 20 years, but this was the first time.

‘I can't. ’

She decided she wanted to go to someone who could consult.

* * *

Whoo-hoo!

It was still early in the morning that the sunrise stone around Iron Tiger's wrist began to turn blue.

Chulho, who couldn't sleep thinking like that, watched the inflection produced by the waves emanating from the rock.

Soon, Inyoung became Aramin.

“Steelho. ”

“Welcome. ”

“That.......”

She hesitates for a moment, then opens her mouth.

“I felt a strange energy on the ground. ”

“Odd Energy? ”

Chulho tilts his head. At that time, Tangerine and Khan, who were sleeping in the room, reached out their heads.

“Mama!"

Tangerine reached out for the aramine. Aramine brought such tangerines to her arms. It really looks like a mother and a baby.

“Mamma, I just got here. ”

“Huh?"

“I thought it was worth it. ”

Tangerine opened her arms wide and her eyes were wide open. Khan greets Aramin and walks in front of Cheolho.

“What are you talking about? ”

When Cheolho asked, Khan scratched his head and replied.

“Looks like a dragon showed up. ”

“Dragon?”

“Yes, dragons can sense other dragons. That's why I came to find a tangerine egg. If you just close your eyes, I can see a rough image. It's hard to explain.”

“A dragon.”

Cheolho frowned.

“What dragon? You guys have all kinds of colors, right? ”

“Well……"

The column shakes its head.

“I think I just woke up from hibernation. I don't have enough energy. I'll see what I can do. ”

Cheolho stands up scratching his head.

< There were a few more. > End
