The law of strong self-respect (4)

The situation was not good.

However, things were good.

It’s contradictory, but it was true.

The excessively blowing snowstorm interfered with the hunters’ special skills and brought out the unique characteristics of Harang.

I was very fortunate to have learned magic.

Otherwise, the hunters… No, they would have already been defeated when they were attacked by mercenaries before that.

It was impossible to completely destroy the hunter’s shelter. They stabbed the hearts of Letian and Bainkal, who could be considered elders, but the hunters did not stop just because they were dead.

‘… … Then, what happened?’

I feel dizzy. Sleep poured out. It would be really sweet if I fell into a dream like this… … .

-It’s been a while, contractor.

“… … !”

Harang quickly opened his eyes at the sound of a familiar voice coming from somewhere.

Light pouring down.

Through the brilliant light, a familiar, but still awe-inspiring, giant silver-colored creature was watching him.

His identity was the Dragon King of the Moon, said to be the strongest guardian under the sky.

“Calantatis!”

When Harang shouted happily, he nodded slightly. He wasn’t sure, but he felt like he was smiling.

-You’ve grown wonderfully so far… … Indeed, I found out that my insight was not wrong.

Harang’s heart was pounding.

How on earth is this a reunion after so many years?

It was the first time since signing the contract.

He was not just a ‘contractor’ to Harang. Calantatis was the savior of life and the one who helped me realize true happiness.

Even ten million won would not be able to repay that favor.

-Hehe, it looks like you have a lot to say… … So do I. Thanks to you, I have recovered enough to come to my senses to some extent… … .

“Thanks to me?”

-As the contractor becomes stronger, I also gain strength. It was a condition of the contract.

“ah… … “So, can you come out into the world now?”

Calantatis closed his eyes for a moment.

It meant denial.

-It’s not time yet. When the world is covered in darkness, the moon will finally shine on the world.

“Then, I… … .”

-I want to talk for a long time, but I don’t have time. If you delay any longer, your life will be in danger… … .

“My life?”

Harang did not understand Calantatis’ words. I must have escaped the hunter’s shelter safely, right?

-It is a side effect of overexerting a body that is so young. I struggled to survive in my subconscious, but eventually reached my limit… … .

“Ugh?!”

I suddenly got a headache. That wasn’t all. The bones all over her body ached as if they were crunching and it was painful as if her muscles were torn. My chest was so tight that it was painful to breathe, and my whole body was so cold that I was shaking.

-Now go back and stand up. You have accomplished too great a feat to fall in a place like this.

Gradually, the image of Calanthatis moves further away. I think there was something I wanted to say to him… … .

-Something strange will come to you. But be careful. A relationship with him could become toxic if overdone… … .

With those last words, Harang raised his head from the snowdrift.

“Huh, huh!”

The feeling in my whole body became numb. It looks like he got frostbite from being out in the cold for too long. As I struggled to lift my upper body, I realized that everything around me was drenched in blood.

‘Ugh, I’m dizzy… … .’

Only then did the memories from before come back to me.

Harang, who was fighting until the very end, ran out of mana and had no choice but to flee across the bridge to Deltain.

But the few surviving hunters persistently pursued him… … As a result, Harang was able to kill them all, but he was hit by so many arrows and stabs that he could not bear the bleeding and fainted for a moment.

If he had stayed asleep like this for a long time, he would most likely have died or frozen due to blood loss.

‘… … Did Calantatis save me again?’

He walked with difficulty and heavy steps. The snowstorm here is so strong that it cannot be endured for a long time.

My chin was trembling, the cold was piercing my bones, hot pain was coming from the torn wound, and I was so drowsy that I felt like I was going to lose my mind again.

‘Why are my legs like this…? … ah.’

Now I see that arrows were stuck in my thighs and abdomen. Because the wounds elsewhere were more painful, I didn’t even know that an arrow had hit me.

But, be patient.

After enduring and enduring, after going down the mountain for a while, I came across a huge cave. Harang almost crawled inside, leaning against the wall with difficulty and panting.

“Ha, ha… … Ugh, uh… … !”

A harsh moan escaped from my mouth.

I lifted my right hand with difficulty, but this place was also a mess. It felt like his bones were broken and his strength wasn’t working properly. As soon as Harang pulled out the arrow, reaching for his abdomen with his left hand, he poured the last remaining potion and bandaged it.

Since it was difficult to do with one hand, Harang endured the pain of his broken right arm and barely managed to bandage it. He then did the same to his thigh and tried to use his divine power.

‘… … The magic core is empty.’

When he fell unconscious in a snowdrift, his body seemed to instinctively use all its magical power to withstand the cold.

I put a splint on my right arm to make a temporary cast and tried to hang it around my neck, but my ribs were throbbing. Literally, his entire body was a mess.

‘cold… … .’

It is also impossible to create a fire using magic. I dropped the dry twigs, leaves, and pieces of flammable coal that I had packed in my backpack for times like this, and threw a spark with a lighter, and it burned up with a crackling sound.

After the wound was treated to some extent and the temperature became warmer, I fell asleep later. It would be dangerous if you fell asleep in a place like this and encountered a monster… … .

Exciting!

Harang hurriedly looked at the cave entrance with half-closed eyes.

there.

There was a huge presence.

In a shadow large enough to cover the entire cave entrance, a pair of eye lights… … .

It was definitely watching Harang, but I couldn’t even guess what kind of emotion it was feeling.

‘enemy? or not… Monster… … ?’

After a while, its true identity appeared… … A huge white wolf.

The wolf, with four legs and a mane blazing like a blue flame around its neck, looked at Harang with its blue eyes and slowly began to approach.

‘… … Monsters, no.’

I felt intelligence from the wolf, not hunger or wildness.

After checking that far, Harang couldn’t stand it anymore and closed his eyes.

‘No more… … .’

His world went dark.

* * *

The wolf spirit ‘Avalanche’ was a divine spirit who could not become a guardian, a hermit who could not attain enlightenment, a monster who could not become a monster, and in the end, a foolish beast that could not sever its ties with the earth.

It’s been 300 years since I started traveling the world to become a Guardian.

He was still just a lowly wolf who couldn’t become a guardian.

Avalanche became interested when they saw a wounded boy lying down in a place drawn by a very fresh and pure energy.

-… … Hmm, I thought it was a spirit or a fairy, but was it a person?

The wound looked serious.

It looks like they’ve clumsily wrapped bandages and applied medicine to the piercing wounds here and there, but they won’t be able to survive that much and will die.

If you’re a normal human being.

‘A being with this much pure mana… … Even if it takes some time, it will survive on its own.’

The energy of nature will help to save him.

So it wouldn’t have mattered if he just passed by, but Avalanche felt deep curiosity about his presence.

-The edge of the cliff was noisy. Was it this boy’s doing? Even for a human, he must be very young… … .

Is it possible for a human being who has lived less than 20 years at most to radiate such strong will and fighting spirit?

Avalanche thought that this boy might be of great help in his ‘ascension’.

Guardians cannot intervene in the world carelessly, but they exercise their influence by appointing contractors, and gain power from the contractors.

Even though he wasn’t a Guardian yet… … If you make a contract with a boy with such pure and strong will, isn’t it possible that he might get a clue to become a Guardian?

‘… … Maybe, I might actually be able to ascend to heaven through this opportunity.’

Avalanche’s eyes were filled with desire.

* * *

“Ugh… … .”

Harang lifted his heavy eyelids with difficulty. When I forcibly raised my quivering eyebrows and managed to focus the blurred world, the first thing I saw was a handsome man with white hair.

“… … ???”

He was looking down at himself from above.

From a very close distance.

“Oh, you have white eyes. There is no other human in the world with eyes like that other than Kaladun. Hahaha! “It’s a strange coincidence to meet Kaladun in a place like this!”

Harang punched him in the face.

Tup! The man who easily blocked it smiled happily and said.

“It’s not good for your body if you overdo it like that. Ah, that’s right. My name is ‘Avalanche’. “A wolf born from a falling avalanche, a foolish beast that never became a guardian.”

beast? He was never an animal. First of all, just being able to take on a human form meant that he was at least something higher than a divine spirit.

Could it be that the wolf I saw right before I fainted was that man?

Harang hesitantly parted his lips.

“… … “My name is Paul Caladorn.”

“That’s a good name. Now, take the medicine.”

“… … !”

He brought the pitch-black medicine contained in a pure white bowl to Harang’s mouth and poured it out. He was startled and forced himself to swallow, but it was very bitter.

“You said it was a potion made by you humans? It will be much better than that! “I made it myself with Yeongcho.”

Harang’s eyes widened.

Medicine made from herbs? Moreover, the effect was evident as energy returned to the body every time I drank it.

Harang, who drank all the medicine without leaving a single drop, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

I felt that my whole body, which was covered in scars, was full of vitality.

As his strength returned, Harang realized that he was now sitting on that man’s lap, and he became very uncomfortable. He struggled to get up, walked away from Avalanche, walked to the opposite cave wall, and collapsed.

“Hmm, I have something to ask you, will you listen?”

Harang hugged Cheongwolheun with both arms and nodded.

“First of all, are you a good person from ‘Heavenly Palace’? “I’ve been there for a long time, but I’ve never seen a child like you.”

Heavenly Palace? Harang shook his head at the unexpected question.

“Oh, so you must be from ‘Sinseonggol’! “I have a connection there, but I still wonder why I’ve never heard your name.”

Harang shook his head again.

“It’s not even Sinseongol? If that’s the case then it’s really strange. Only immortals could create your pure and good energy, hmm. No. Yeah, I can’t say I’ve created it properly yet. It seems like if he goes to Sinseonggol, meets his teacher, and refines himself a little more, he will grow explosively… … .”

Harang’s eyes opened slightly at those words.

“Did you say my energy resembles that of a immortal?”

“okay. Wasn’t it so pure that I was also possessed, as if it had swallowed a whole spirit? Hahaha!”

“… … .”

“It’s a joke, a joke. “Then I would like to make just one offer. Are you interested in signing a contract with me?”

“contract… … ?”

“Although I have not ascended to heaven yet and cannot become a guardian, I can give you enough power to be of help.”

“… … It’s not possible.”

“Hmm? “Why do you do that?”

“I already have a guardian under contract.”

“What!”

Quack!! It seemed like a sound effect was heard as if lightning had struck.

Avalanche opened its mouth with a truly shocked expression.

“Huh, how can you already be at such a young age…?” … No, if it’s Kaladun, it’s entirely possible… … “I didn’t expect this at all, but it’s a very disappointing development.”

Harang looked at the man in silence.

He didn’t seem to be a bad person. If Avalanche had evil intentions, Harang would have no life left long ago.

‘We can’t make a contract, but… … .’

The favor must be repaid.

“Since you saved my life, please tell me what you want and I will get it for you as soon as I return to my family.”

“what I want… … ? There is only you… … “Can’t we just cut off the contract with that guardian?”

“It’s not possible.”

“Wow, I’m stronger and smarter than most guardians. what… … It can’t be helped. If you’re trying to return the favor, you’d better stop. “I am trying to become virtuous in order to ascend to heaven, so I cannot receive compensation for good deeds.”

“ascension… … “What are you lacking that prevents you from becoming a Guardian yet?”

Avalanche let out a sigh.

“Fuhu, if I knew that, would I be doing this? I’m just guessing that my energy is not in order. That’s why I’m looking for pure energy like you. “I thought things would get better if I stayed by his side and received purity.”

But soon Avalanche smiled again and looked at Harang.

“What about the contract? If it doesn’t work out, there’s nothing we can do. Then let me help you.”

“… … “You’re helping me?”

“You are destined for greatness in the future. If you live this long and practice, you can see it at a glance. If I take advantage of a destiny as big as yours, it will definitely be of great help to me. Of course, you can’t help without getting something in return. “Only when you act like a hero can I use my power.”

“… … .”

Harang thought for a moment, then slowly parted his lips.

“Is it possible to travel between continents?”

“Are you going to ask for such a trivial favor? Even though I look like this, I am still a divine spirit.”

“… … !!”

It’s not a trivial request.

Because it was a very urgent and important issue for Harang today.

“… … “What can I do?”

Then Avalanche smiled with a mischievous expression and spread one finger.

“You know what? Currently, the Grand Duke of the Freezing Palace, who rules this cold land, is infected with an unidentified evil energy and is suffering from a chronic illness. That’s not quite right. “As a hero who rules over a frigid land, he still has a lot of work to do.”

“… … .”

It was somehow a familiar story.

“Save him from the evil spirit and come back. It may be very difficult, but if you have the qualities of a hero, wouldn’t it be possible? If you make it… … Moving between continents? “Of course, I will share my energy and spirit with you.”

“… … .”

Harang nodded without even thinking for a second.

because.

‘That’s what I originally wanted to do, right?’

He even had some idea of ​​the solution, so there was no reason to hesitate.

In fact, the compensation offered by Avalanche is… … To him, it was as if he got it for free.
