Episode 430. Suspicion (5)

A retreat signal appeared in the sky above the sleepless city.

Yuri couldn’t help but be curious when she saw the location.

‘Why are they all gathered there?’

There was no exit from where the Baekgeom Byeongdan troops were gathering.

No, let alone the entrance, it was just like the middle of a sleepless city.

‘Well, to begin with, gathering troops in the place where the signal flare was fired is a hopeless act.’

Yuri couldn’t understand at all.

What on earth was he doing? Yuri couldn’t even imagine what would happen next with her common sense.

Still, just in case, he asked Do-cheol, who was sitting next to him.

“Hey, what’s over there? Like an emergency exit?”

Do-cheol shook his head at Yuri’s question.

“No way. What you see is all there is to it.”

“What is that building?”

“town hall.”

Yuri rubbed her chin at Do-cheol’s answer.

‘Are you planning to stage a sit-in?’

A rather ornate building located beneath where the flare went off.

The Baekgeom Byeongdan was gathering one by one in front of the building.

But that was it.

Other than that, it didn’t seem to have any special features.

‘Well, we’ll find out if we wait and see.’

How on earth are you going to escape from this sleepless city?

Yuri watched the Baekgeom Byeongdan’s movements with interest.

How much time has passed since then?

‘Nothing happened?’

About 30 minutes had passed, but nothing much had happened.

At that moment, Yuri’s doubts deepened.

Ddddddddd-.

A sudden shaking shook the sleepy city.

It was only natural that Yuri’s expression became distorted.

‘Again?!’

This fucking vibration!

Anyway, if you just crawl underground, this is what happens!

Yuri’s tension grew as the vibrations foreshadowed something ominous.

But fortunately for Yuri, this time the misfortune befell the Gol tribe and not him.

The vibrations that had been shaking the sleepless castle ceaselessly suddenly disappeared at one moment.

Instead, a strange sound echoed throughout the city of Bulyeo.

Jieeeeeeing-!

Crackle! Crackle!

A sound like something is burning.

In fact, the pungent smell of coal spread throughout the city of Bulya.

And the cause was not difficult to find.

“What is that?”

Yuri’s gaze was directed towards the night sky of the city… no, towards the ceiling of the underground city.

A large, crimson dot appears on the ceiling.

It gradually grew in size and spread to the surrounding area, gradually turning bright red.

The smell of coal that began to fill the sleepless city was originating right there.

Yuri’s senses were on edge, wondering what on earth was going on.

A few seconds later.

A huge pillar of light shot down vertically through the bright red ceiling.

Jieeeeeeing-!

Kwagagang-!

Yuri’s eyes widened at the unimaginable sight.

At that moment, Do-cheol’s astonishment that burst out from beside him flowed into Yu-ri’s ears.

“D, Dragon Breath?!”

The dragon’s strongest attack, known to destroy everything.

Among them, the gold dragon’s breath was said to have exactly that shape.

As Do-cheol stood up from his seat in surprise, the pillar of light gradually became thinner and eventually disappeared completely.

Yuri let out a curse as he looked at the sight created by the single pillar of light.

“crazy…….”

The city hall that the pillar of light had passed through evaporated without leaving a speck of dust behind.

And the place where the viewing was.

Do-cheol sighed as he looked at the huge hole in the ceiling.

“Huh… I was wondering why they were all gathering in that place… … .”

“why?”

“Because the layer of soil there is the thinnest.”

“iced coffee…….”

Yuri nodded as if she understood.

The entrance to the Sleepless Castle is located in a cave inside a huge cliff, but the entire castle is not located at the bottom of the cliff.

The place where the thinnest layer of soil is located, off the cliff.

The light was aimed right at that spot.

Yuri’s eyes widened as she looked up at the gaping hole.

“What is that…?”

A tiny dot in a big hole.

It was slowly getting closer.

Thanks to that, Yuri was able to realize the identity of the dot.

‘An island? No, a castle?’

That was definitely a castle.

It was a flying castle with only 12 pillars and 12 pairs of wings.

And the answer to that was given by Do-cheol.

“Oh, my God. The Heavenly Dragon Palace?!”

Although the Heavenly Dragon Palace had already appeared in the cradle once, Yuri was underground at the time, so this was her first time seeing it.

“Cheonhae Yonggung?”

At Yuri’s small question, Do-cheol couldn’t take his eyes off Cheonhae Yonggung and spat out the information he knew as if possessed.

“The last bastion created by the Dragon Clan. It is an aerial fortress created by the last Lord Kratan by fusing twelve members of his clan… and is the ultimate weapon for decisive battle.”

Do-cheol, who had seen the Cheonhae Yonggung that was only known as a legend, was not angry even though there was a hole in the sleepless castle, but rather was half-astonished.

On the other hand, Yuri was lost in thought upon hearing the familiar name.

‘Last Lord Kratan?’

A strange illusion seen the moment I made contact with the left side in Black Dragon High School.

The name the giant shouted when he saw the dragon was Kratan.

‘No way… is that it?’

While Do-cheol and Yu-ri were each absentmindedly thinking about their own circumstances.

“huh?”

“her?”

A blue light stretched out from the Heavenly Dragon Palace and poured down into the hole.

At first it seemed like another attack, but the light simply fell vertically onto the night sky.

I was wondering what on earth that meant.

But then, his mouth dropped open as he saw the Baekgeom Byeongdan’s troops rushing into the blue light and the unbelievable sight that followed.

“Me, flying?! Flying?! What is that?!”

The White Sword Corps’ troops leapt into the blue light and soared into the sky.

The mysterious and wondrous sight was followed by Do-cheol’s explanation.

“It’s magic.”

At this, Yuri blinked.

“Are you kidding? Magic?”

The concept of magic did exist in the world.

But that’s all just a made-up story.

In reality, it was common sense in this world that magic did not exist.

Do-cheol answered Yuri’s question in a small voice.

“They say that magic existed in ancient times. However, with the extinction of dragons, the power of magic also disappeared.”

“…That’s not just nonsense?”

“If magic is a power built up through human effort, magic is a power borrowed from dragons. That’s why magic naturally disappeared when dragons disappeared.”

“Then what is that?”

“It is the power of the Heavenly Dragon Palace. The Heavenly Dragon Palace is made up of the remains of twelve dragons.”

Yuri swallowed hard and looked at Cheonhae Yonggung.

‘Cheonhae Yonggung… … .’

Not only can it fly through the sky, it can also emit rays of incredible destructive power, and even use the power of magic?

Yuri’s impression of him was simple.

“…I want to have it.”

How long has it been since I’ve seen something and been overcome with such intense desire?

Over 90% of Yuri’s desires so far have been the desire for strength.

The rest was 10% desire for material wealth, but today, I felt an intense greed of about 15%.

‘I want that…’

One of Yuri’s wishes, having lived a wandering life since childhood.

That was my dream of owning my own home.

And at this very moment, Cheonhae Yonggung has risen to the top of the list of candidates for Yuri’s home.

‘I really want it!’

At that time, Yuri was looking at Cheonhae Yonggung and her appetite was pounding.

“Me, me?!”

Yuri’s gaze turned downward at the shock that erupted from the side.

Then a huge shadow appeared, slowly rising up following the blue light.

Do-cheol, who saw this, vomited out his flagship.

“Segyeong, that bastard is definitely going to take that! I have to stop him… I have to stop him! I have to stop him!”

Yuri grabbed the back of Do-cheol’s neck, as if he was about to run away at any moment.

“What are you blocking? Have you forgotten? I told you that we’re not here today. That’s what I said to Peter.”

“But that’s… ugh… .”

Do-cheol, who had been caught by Yu-ri and was flailing his arms and legs, groaned and fell to the ground.

After that, a soft sigh escaped his mouth.

“Whew… It looks like the turmeric has hardened since it doesn’t spill out even though it’s tilted like that.”

That was a good thing.

Since the turpentine has hardened, it should be safe for at least several decades.

While Do-cheol was relieved, the last of the troops who had been on guard around the area rose into the sky, and all of the Baekgeom Brigade finished withdrawing.

At the same time, the blue light coming down from the ceiling disappeared, and the Heavenly Dragon Palace flapped its wings and flew away.

It only took about 10 minutes for the Baekgeom Byeongdan to completely withdraw.

At this, Yuri stuck out her tongue.

‘So that’s why it happened.’

Complacency that doesn’t even secure an exit.

An absurd operation to gather in the middle of a city that never sleeps.

Yuri thought that the Baekgeom Byeongdan was too helpless, but that wasn’t the case.

They had such a perfect plan.

The Cheonhae Yonggung is a countermeasure that goes beyond common sense.

After the Baekgeom Byeongdan left, Yuri let go of Docheol’s neck.

“Inspiration, can we talk too?”

“What are you talking about?”

Do-cheol looked up at the glass as if he was wondering what was suddenly out of the blue.

But his face soon hardened at Yuri’s words that followed.

“The Dragon Slayer… no, the truth hidden by the Gol Tribe, related to the King of the Moon.”

“… … .”

Do-cheol couldn’t respond to Yu-ri’s gaze that was looking down at him.

***

In the wide Daejeon area.

Ian Auckland sitting in a fancy chair on stage.

He asked, resting his chin on his fist.

“Failed?”

Peter Lehmann was on one knee, his eyes as weary as a swordsman.

He bowed deeply toward Ian.

“Yes.”

“Why did it fail?”

Peter answered without raising his head.

“His remains were not found in the territory of the Gols, the city of insomnia.”

“Is that so?”

A dull voice.

Soon, Peter could feel deep eyes scanning him.

But the attention soon turned away.

“Hmm… I wonder where the Gol tribe hid that.”

“… … .”

“I can’t help it. I can’t ask you to bring something that doesn’t exist.”

The previously calm voice suddenly became stronger.

“But you know.”

“… … .”

“Wasn’t it really there?”

“… Yes.”

“You couldn’t find it?”

“I can’t guarantee that… I’m sorry.”

A small tongue-clicking sound was heard as Peter meekly admitted his mistake.

“Tsk, I know you’ve had a hard time, but this project took three years and a huge budget. Even the Heavenly Dragon Palace consumed a huge amount of energy, so it might not be able to operate for a while. The results are so minimal compared to the effort put in… You have to take responsibility for it. Even if you’re the vice-captain.”

Peter’s head bowed even deeper.

“I will follow whatever punishment you command. And this… I will return it to you.”

As he said this, Peter took a round flask out of his bosom and placed it in front of his knees.

Okay then.

Ssuk-.

A flask enveloped in an invisible energy flew towards Ian.

chin-!

Ian said, holding the flask in his hand.

“Go and be disciplined. I will take my time and think about what punishment to give you.”

“I will do so.”

Peter got up, bowed his head, turned around, and left the battlefield.

Despite the gazes he felt from behind, Peter continued walking calmly.

Peter, who escaped the war completely.

thud-!

The moment the gate to Daejeon closed, a faint strange light flashed through his eyes.

‘that…….’

Before turning back.

The moment he raised his head, Peter could see.

I mean, the little golden droplets in the round flask in Ian’s hand were quivering.

‘It was clearly going somewhere else.’

The golden drop tried to go somewhere other than Ian.

But each time, the bloody aura entangled the golden drop and pulled it towards him.

To Peter it seemed as if the golden drop was trying to break free from Ian’s bonds.

“… … .”

Yuri’s voice flowed into Peter’s head as he stood there with his back to the door for a moment.

[Go back and check and compare for yourself. Is the former Dragon Slayer you believed in and followed really real? Or am I the real one? Compare for yourself and come to a conclusion.]

Why is that?

Peter couldn’t easily forget the golden eyes that had looked at him with such confidence.

And a ray of doubt bloomed in my heart.

‘Chief, is this really… real?’

A few days ago, I would have reproached myself for being disrespectful.

But the more those golden eyes, so proud, came to mind, the more the single doubt that had bloomed in my heart took root.
