. The new slave is always Shadow

Dragon Heart. I wish I could hand it over.

Dragon... a heart? What is that?

Blue Dragon tilted his head.

Oh. right.

This guy was a Dragon from the East.

I only had contact with Western guys, so I forgot about it.

It means that in Moorim, you have to replace it with an appropriate word.

Um. The place where the qi is concentrated in the dragon's body. Simply put, it can be called the heart.

Are you telling me to give up my heart?

I mean that.

At Jinhyuk's words, the air froze coldly.

Giving up your heart means asking for your life.

You'd better choose carefully what I'm going to say. Human. It's true that I got help from you, but that doesn't mean I'm willing to give up my life.

Hey, I heard that Dragon is sure to end Eun-Won's relationship, am I mistaken?

Please don't ask me forcibly. My patience is not deep enough to accept puns.

The blue dragon's nails twitched.

It looks like the heat is slowly fading away.

Otherwise, it's okay to use something else. Normally, I'm at a loss for a long time, but I'm not going to say it's just a light tattoo.

Whoops!

A spark flickered at the tip of Jinhyuk's finger.

The ability to force submission.

It is the 'stigma of the soul'.

Are you going to impose a ban on my soul?

A quick glance.

Maybe it's because it's a Sacred beast, so you can tell what kind it is just by looking at the mana.

Isn't that better than giving out my heart?

I refuse. I have no intention of becoming a human being. There is no reason to do so.

Reject... .

I was trying to go well.

I can't do it when it comes out

huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo

Jinhyuk pulled out something black from the subspace.

Hey. Are you going to take out your weapon and fight me? That's fun... huh?

Blue Dragon's words could not be finished.

mosquito!

Because the world's most terrifying voice resounded.

The sweet potato was held in Jinhyuk's arms and flapped his wings.

Yes. Our Kuma. Did you sleep well?

Mosquito! Mosquito Mosquito!

Huh? How have I been? No. I haven't been doing well. Someone crushed my earnest request. You even saved my life, but you're trying to kill me? Can you believe it?

Mooooogi...

The sweet potato roared low.

The cute amber eyes rolled over to find the one who had hurt the owner's heart.

Then suddenly.

His gaze turned to the blue dragon.

The two Dragons faced each other head-on.

Ugh!?

From the blue dragon's mouth came the sound of breathing in the wind.

Unknowingly, he flinched and tried to soar into the air.

Instinct moved before reason because he knew that he could really die if he attacked the ancient species.

If you run away from here, you'll really regret it. I hate wasting time and effort on useless things.

No, I didn't mean to run away.

then?

That spark. Come to think of it, I don't think it's that bad. I think it's going to create a pretty nice scar. If possible, I'd like to put it on thick scales on the shoulder.

Blue Dragon's attitude changed 180 degrees.

I'm sorry, but the train has already left.

If I had accepted the stigma of the Kofun and Kofun at first, I was going to end it with only the stigma of the soul.

Heartily.

However.

You made me even take out sweet potatoes, so I should be punished accordingly.

Sue, didn't you say that you would obey your orders? By the way. Is that not enough?

The stigma is something you have to do in the sense that you are purely repaying the favor. If you are punished, you have to do it additionally.

"What do you want?"

My Lady.

I saw Samaza taking 'White Flame's Female Euiju'.

The pride of the dragon clan and whatnot, and taking it with you.

That's not possible. You can't pass over... the gods of the clan's pride...!

Can I tell you that life is more important than pride? Kumaya. It seems that the new employee doesn't understand the company atmosphere yet. Please bend your waist in half.

mosquito!

The sweet potato broke the knuckle.

...Now that I think about it, I don't think I have enough hands to carry 4 female vases. Hmmm! Take it... Whoa... Take it. Take it all.

The blue dragon shed tears of blood and handed the white female maiden wine.

[Yeouiju of White Flame]

Acquisition Difficulty: SS

Description: Yeouiju is one of the highest grades of Yeouiju that can handle rain and clouds. It has the power to create small dragons. In addition, the Yeouiju of White Flame is a multi-purpose item that can be used in various places because it is a crystal of powerful mana itself.

A god of the dragon family with powerful mana.

The ability to handle the weather and the ability to make small dragons were not bad, but when I used this Yeouiju, it was different.

'When you upgrade a new weapon later, use it as a material... Best.'

In addition to the great sword Balmung, you must have a dagger specialized in close combat.

And the Yeouiju of White Flame will do a great job in making another purple-grade relic.

great.

Then... .

Don't be harsh. It's not as painful as it looks.

Jinhyuk put a 'stigma of the soul' on the scales of the blue dragon.

Chi profit!

The blue dragon, who had given up on everything, accepted his fate.

However.

The blue dragon's torment is not over yet.

It's only just begun.

Um. Then, what should we name our Blue Dragon?

Is that your name?

Yeah. The Sacred beasts who joined the Goin Corporation have a name that is easy to call and each has a cool name. Oh! Don't worry too much. I'm pretty good at naming names anyway.

I'm going to give it a very good name like sweet potato or T-bone.

Jinhyuk, who had been thinking for a while, smiled as if he remembered something.

Soft black crane.

A person who always makes the wrong choice and tries to get on the last train after the trend has passed.

That's a soft black crane.

Black-crowned crane! What nonsense is that! This body is colored blue!

So it is.

Does not matter.

Ask Orun to make a piece of black armor and put it on.

Because it is mainly specialized in ranged attacks, its scales are relatively soft compared to Western Dragons.

There will be a lot of close combat in the future, so you should have at least one piece of armor as strong as soup.

Then, please take good care of me in the future. Soft black crane.

" "

The blue dragon, no, the soft black crane, bit the crab foam on the spot.

A life that noblely defended Moorim and nature, balancing the world.

That proud life came to an end as of today.

'mother .'

Blue Dragon murmured one last time before fainting.

A library with many books.

Jinhyuk visited Rick's private office and sip freshly brewed coffee.

A sweet scent lingered on the tip of his nose.

It's really nice to see you after a long time. Even if it's not, the past few days have been noisy with stories about Jinhyuk.

Rick burst out laughing.

He seemed to be very excited about the growth and performance of the player he was looking forward to.

"I was a little busy."

So what do you mean by coming here?

It seems that a strange bond was formed when Moorim and the Empire fought against the Heavenly Demon Protestantism. It was only on the side of Moorim that they received the Empire's help in a desperate crisis situation, so it must have been more grateful.

The two factions, who had been fighting each other exposing their fangs, made peace.

promising new prosperity in their respective territories.

I've heard of it, too. They say they're co-hosting one big event.

Yeah. That's why...

Jinhyuk brought up the main point.

"I would like to ask the administrator for permission to broadcast the event as an administrator. People outside the tower participate directly and bet on the winner. We can share a portion of the fee, so it is mutually beneficial. This was a good thing. There won't be any harm.

A world trembling with anxiety due to Shubniguras.

This is the way to reassure people and at the same time elicit a response through participation.

In the beginning, in times of war or crisis, entertainment that could relieve everyone's tension was important.

'I can't waste even one minute and one second. You have to secure everything you can get as much as possible.'

The work at Moorim was completed quickly thanks to Samaza moving first.

It means that two days more than the prediction was made until Shubniguras fully manifested.

Through Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min, I will need at least one more day for the preparations to end anyway.

Jinhyuk was thinking of making use of this opportunity.

Hmm. It's not a bad idea. But, Jinhyuk-nim, do you know what kind of competition this is?

Yeah? Wasn't it like a one-on-one prom?

Jinhyuk opened his rabbit eyes.

You didn't know either. So, you can be so calm.

What do you mean by that...

Jinhyuk blurs the end of his words as if he doesn't know at all.

Obviously, I heard through Penheimer that it was a competition with only one winner.

I haven't heard of exactly what kind it is.

Giving reasons why it doesn't even matter if it's a top secret or something.

By the way.

'What is this feeling... .'

creepy

A chill ran down Jinhyuk's back.

Obviously, the sly smile on Rick's lips felt the same as the smile I saw on Pennheimer last night.

maybe it will rain

You are lucky, Jinhyuk-sama... No, maybe you are not lucky.

Rick made a meaningful comment.

Anyway, then, accept my offer, do you mean Primary God?

Okay. It's an opportunity for me to have fun and earn coins too, so there's no reason not to. Jinhyuk-nim is a person who has a huge influence on the tower, so I can grant that amount at my discretion.

Rick nodded, still smiling mischievously.

Evening where the banquet is held.

Jinhyuk, who was spending his time leisurely, finished the task he had not been able to do before.

[Current Level: 126]

Level went up by one.

I thought it would be difficult to get enough experience to level up because I couldn't give the final blow to Samaza... .

This pleasant variable is always Shadow.

[mana rises from 369 to 372.]

Invested in mana.

'This is pretty sweet too.'

Jinhyuk had a satisfied smile.

However.

T-tiring!

Everything started to flow strangely due to the status window that appeared in front of me.

[[Due to the authority of the two factions, 'Choose a partner']

The battle begins.]

Yes?

what now?

Jinhyuk slowly pondered the letters that appeared on the status window.

[Difficulty: Unmeasurable]

Description: An 'eternal rose' appears on the chest of player Jinhyuk Kang. The person who gets that rose is the winner of this event.

Reward 1: The winner will be given a 'Ring of Enchantment (1 pair)'. The Ring of Enchanting has the effect of raising the target's favorability, and it is fully supported by the Empire and the Murim.

Reward 2: Couple items will be given to enter the tower's various attractions. (Cloud Garden Admission Ticket, Sea Lake Hotel Accommodation Ticket, and Meal Ticket at the finest restaurant run by the manager 'Metel')

The status window seems to be red somehow.

'I must have been wrong. Or maybe you're dreaming... .'

no.

Obviously not.

Jinhyuk swallowed dry saliva.

[The broadcasting system is activated.]

[Viewers enter.]

[Those who are currently in the Tower of Trials who wish to participate, please start registration.]

The event has started.

At the same time.

T-tiring!

T-tiring!

T-tiring!

Applications for participation have been pouring in.
