Novel Will Be Taken Down on 17 May or Earlier Chapter 209 - Lucky Day (5)

“Your weakened body isn’t the problem, Argentress. It seems your soul has since destroyed long before that. I can’t describe this sorrow, my brother.”

 

Elf.

 

Even at the moment they lost Mother’s blessing, Eunaxus was skeptical.

 

He always thought that no matter how ugly his brother was, his noble soul would stay the same.

 

It was all his delusion.

 

Eunaxus’ eyes turned to the evil on the ground.

 

That was the demon.

 

The being who made the continent and Mother like this.

 

He was so angry he felt like he wanted to glide down to the Demon World right away.

 

He wanted to burn their land in a more devastating way than they did to the continent.

 

But he couldn’t do that.

 

Because that wasn’t what Mother wanted.

 

Even Eunaxus couldn’t fathom the World Tree’s intention.

 

But this was the first time.

 

She asked something from him, from them.

 

So he just obeyed.

 

Yes, it was boring to stay asleep forever.

 

In that regard, his heart raced for the first time in a while.

 

‘It’s the first time since then.’

 

The Great Dragon-Demon War.

 

The momentary amusement was enjoyable in its own way.

 

This time, he couldn’t just enjoy it like he had in the past.

 

This time, he had to give up his life.

 

“If you don’t understand, I will scold you until you do.”

 

For him, who was old and sick, this battlefield suited him.

 

Argentress and the elves.

 

The demon who was suitable for expressing suppressed emotions.

 

Even the human who faced the demon.

 

All of them had eyes that seemed determined.

 

He could go on a rampage without worrying about anyone getting caught up in it.

 

‘If it’s you, you will be able to make Mother’s will come true.’

 

Crackle–!

 

Soon, a huge energy waved from Eunaxus’ body.

 

“!!!”

 

Magic power was not enough to describe it.

 

The mana was so deep and vast.

 

Not only did it visualize the climate of the area.

 

It even began to change the landscape.

 

Crackle–!

 

The moment a thunderbolt wrapped around Eunaxus’ whole body.

 

‘Something’ intruded into Eunaxus’ field of vision.

 

Although the entity was small, it somehow appeared large.

 

“!”

 

It was only natural.

 

The place where Haiel landed was the bridge of Eunaxus’ nose.

 

Haiel faithfully followed the will of her master, Hoyeol. She spoke clearly, without doubt, believing in Hoyeol.

 

“According to the Hierarchy of Blessing, I order you.”

 

“…?”

 

“Calm down, Eunaxus.”

 

Dragons and elves were different.

 

Although both were born from the World Tree, just like how they differ in appearances, the abilities they were born with were also different. The dragons were perfect beings, living up to their title as a creature that rules over all things.

 

But that wasn’t the case for the elves. The World Tree took pity on the elves and gave them a blessing.

 

It was not that the dragons were not blessed by the World Tree. They simply didn’t receive it. Because they didn’t need it.

 

They were born perfect.

 

Since they had never received the blessing of the World Tree.

 

Naturally, there was no way [Hierarchy of Blessing] would work on Eunaxus, who was a dragon. However, Eunaxus calmed down due to Haiel’s words.

 

‘I see.’

 

He could feel Mother’s energy in this tiny spirit.

 

Unconsciously.

 

Eunaxus’ gaze softened.

 

It was a warm gaze, as if looking at the youngest child.

 

But, child.

 

“I’m afraid I can’t accept your request.”

 

Eunaxus relayed it to her mind.

 

– Don’t worry. Everything is Mother’s will.

 

Telepathy.

 

A dragon could tear through dimensions and travel back and forth.

 

Therefore, that voice also reached Hoyeol.

 

– Even if I die, there is no reason to be sad, Dawn.

 

.

 

.

 

.

 

How strong is a dragon?

 

I was able to recognize it by looking at the message.

 

It was a battlefield where elves, great evil, and a transcendent gather.

 

If you converted it to the recommended level, it would just go over 1,000.

 

In some cases, it should be impossible to generate an appearance message.

 

However, as if to show off, Eunaxus sent out an appearance message.

 

I was shocked when Eunaxus paused at the [Hierarchy of Blessing].

 

Was it really luck, not a chain mail?

 

In that split second, I counted the chicken's eggs ^[1] The chicken egg is here referring to the idiom ‘Don’t count your chicken before it hatches’. The original Korean idiom is ‘Drinking kimchi broth’. , getting ahead of myself.

 

I can control the dragons through the hierarchy!

 

I could cleare the world quest, [Evil Dragon Hunter].

 

With the dragon’s ability, I could freely enter and exit the Arcana Continent, right?

 

On the Arcana Continent, I could be resurrected even if I died due to the effect of [The Last Adventurer].

 

I could take risks and speed up my growth.

 

However, a chicken’s egg was called a chicken egg for a reason.

 

I, Lee Ho Yeol.

 

I was able to notice because I was the maknae with three older sisters.

 

Eunaxus’ gaze that seemed to be looking into my inner thoughts.

 

It was just like the gaze of my nemesis when they looked at me.

 

For a startling moment, Eunaxus’ voice penetrated into my head.

 

‘Telepathy.’

 

Reality and the Arcana Continent.

 

Two completely different worlds.

 

In general, it was impossible to communicate telepathically between the two worlds. But the dragons were an exception.

 

Without being caught in a rupture, they could tear dimensions and go back and forth between the Arcana Continent and reality using telepathy.

 

What surprised me was the content of telepathy.

 

‘D-Dawn?’

 

How did he know that embarrassing name!?

 

No.

 

More importantly.

 

‘…Your death is your mother’s will?’

 

How can you drop a will right from the first meeting?!

 

I just got involved.

 

It was natural that I didn’t know things like family circumstances or the intention of the World Tree.

 

Of course, I had no desire to pretend to be a family.

 

I was treated like the maknae at home as well.

 

In addition.

 

‘No, whether it’s her will or whatever.’

 

Eunaxus-ssi.

 

If that side goes on a rampage, this side will be in trouble, you know?

 

Even just the transcendent, the great evil, and the elves were already overwhelming enough.

 

But a dragon?

 

Aside from the clearance of the rupture, the rupture itself was at a level that couldn’t be sustained. After the rupture was created, it wouldn’t be long before the rupture collapse progress exceeded 100%.

 

‘If something like that is created in the city center…’

 

In the aftermath of that battle, cities, countries, and continents might disappear from the map.  It was the right move to persuade him in such a serious situation.

 

“The will of the World Tree, you said. You’re mistaken.”

 

Calmly.

 

“No parent wants the death of their child.”

 

Not only in front of the Emperor.

 

You remain upright even in front of the dragon and the World Tree, Grandfel.

 

But I also sympathized to some extent.

 

When I only listened to Eunaxus.

 

It sounded like the World Tree wanted Eunaxus dead.

 

Still, I wanted to hear of family history, as the maknae who just got involved.

 

“We need to talk, Eunaxus.”

 

Of course, neither telepathy nor my self-talk could reach him.

 

I just made a one-sided appointment.

 

The gossip ended there.

 

Now I really had to take action.

 

‘Haiel and I did our best too.’

 

Nevertheless, it was not enough to prevent this mess.

 

At this point, I should just admit that.

 

The only good thing about this was the fact that the rupture creation period had been delayed.

 

‘I have no choice but to pour everything into the rupture.’

 

Let’s think positively.

 

When the rupture was created, we would be able to meet face-to-face.

 

Above all, it wouldn’t be frustrating.

 

Even while I was thinking hard, my mouth didn’t rest.

 

“I don’t believe in luck.”

 

I was wondering why he hadn’t said that this time. Grandfel, who always talked about superstitions and slandered people whenever they tried to invest points in their [luck] stat, was pretty stubborn about this.

 

Flutter–

 

The wind came at the right time.

 

“Luck and destiny are something you carve yourself.”

 

You’ve gotta be kidding.

 

Just as I was being sarcastic inside.

 

The light of a portal shimmered in the sky of the Arcana Continent.

 

…Wait, a broom was flying in the sky?

 

Literally, the thing that appeared from the portal was a broom.

 

However, the woman on the broom didn’t seem unfamiliar.

 

That shabby outfit.

 

‘I think I saw it at a social gathering of time and space.’

 

It was certain.

 

She was the other transcendent who had no interest in me in the social gathering of time and space.

 

No, in a way, she was worse than Urus. She had never lifted her head that was hung down at the table.

 

‘What is this all of a sudden?’

 

Naturally.

 

I didn’t know why she appeared in this mess.

 

Nevertheless, I shamelessly continued.

 

“Like this moment.”

 

…Even if you sink in pride, it seems that at least your mouth will rise, Grandfel.

 

.

 

.

 

.

 

Witch of the Southern Sea.

 

She flew across the open sea.

 

She only had one『elixir cigarette』 left.

 

After savoring her cigarette, the witch glared at the southern sea below.

 

“…Octopus head.”

 

Thousands of legs wriggled in the deep sea.

 

Even though she knew it was just a damn hallucination.

 

She couldn’t help but feel nauseous every time she saw it.

 

Not only that.

 

She also heard auditory hallucinations from the deep sea where nothing could be seen.

 

『There is no use running away.

 

Accept your fate.

 

Start the end with your own hands.

 

Don’t hold on to a painful life.』

 

“I’m really craving cigarettes.”

 

The 『Great Fear of the Sea』.

 

The only time she was free from its curse was when she lit up an expensive elixir cigarette.

 

She felt like she wanted to be at the social gathering, lighting a cigarette and putting her head down on the table.

 

Crackle–!!

 

When she saw the continent brimming with great energy, those thoughts disappeared completely.

 

Perhaps because she endured the urge to smoke and flew nonstop.

 

She already entered the Arcana Continent.

 

She had vowed never to set foot on this land again.

 

She even forgot that scenery and couldn’t open the portal.

 

The witch smiled bitterly.

 

“I’m so scared of the passage of time.”

 

She glorified her shitty memories.

 

So that only good memories remained.

 

You agree with me, don’t you?

 

“I guess that’s why you came back.”

 

The witch didn’t waste any time.

 

Side effects of elixir cigarettes.

 

In her hazy memories, she remembered the area near Zero Mountain.

 

She drew a landscape in her mind and captured the coordinates.

 

A portal was opened in the air.

 

The process was swift.

 

After coming out of the portal, the witch witnessed it.

 

Dragon, elves, great evil, transcendent.

 

The main cause of the continent’s turmoil.

 

The witch clicked her tongue.

 

Time really was scary.

 

“The Demon World, Sisley, and Zero Mountain.”

 

They all used to be quiet in the past.

 

The witch searched her arms.

 

What she naturally took out with her finger was the last elixir cigarette.

 

Because of the circumstances, she had to use magic. But before that, she needed to clear her head.

 

– Start the end now.

 

As she inhaled the smoke, the voice of 『Great Terror of the Sea』 that had been lingering in her ears faded. Yes, stay quiet like that, octopus head. From now on, it should be in a position to listen.

 

“Huft–”

 

Thick smoke billowed out.

 

The witch looked down at the battlefield.

 

Naturally, her gaze turned to the most familiar face.

 

Urus.

 

When he first entered the social gathering, he really semed like a newborn chick.

 

While she had been putting her head down on the table.

 

He chose a crooked path for a long time.

 

“Well, the elves are always unlucky.”

 

The elves had the appearance and abilities that didn’t match their nasty personality.

 

What kind of luck were they born with?

 

The witch criticized them harshly.

 

“Still, one voice remains wonderful.”

 

She didn’t have much emotion toward the dragon, Eunaxus.

 

The witch’s gaze shifted to the last.

 

“Among all of them, you are particularly tactless.”

 

She eyed the Seven Deadly Sin, Gluttony.

 

The witch’s heart, which had been calm even when she looked at the Great Terror of the Sea, shook violently. It was only natural.

 

Because no one here, not even her, could have anything to do with the story she was about to tell.

 

Goo–

 

Thanks to the with’s turbulent magic power.

 

Everyone on the battlefield acknowledged the witch’s presence.

 

But that was all.

 

Witch of the Southern Sea.

 

Regardless of how strong she was.

 

She had a reason why she couldn’t back down.

 

The witch started speaking.

 

“I think it would be nice if we all knew our place.”

 

In the story that followed.

 

“…Is that really true?”

 

“N-No way!”

 

“No, that can’t be possible.”

 

“…?!”

 

Everyone had no choice but to stop their actions.

 

“Everyone knows what it means to mention ‘that name’ in this land, right? But it’s definitely true. I swear on my life.”

 

The witch continued.

 

“Claudie is back.”
