Chapter 446

Yellow Dragon's Orb (1)

A shrine deep in a cave.

“Chamhoe-dong is not simply a prison that holds monsters who have committed crimes..”

The blue dragon, a woman with long blue hair neatly tied up, walked slowly and spoke softly..

Horus, a small man trailing behind her, quickly turned his head and looked around..

All kinds of ritual equipment such as gold strings, bells, mirrors, and swords are placed here and there.).

While the memorial tablets placed in between showed off their subtle presence, the blue dragon that was ahead stopped in place and took out something from within its arms..

-The Four Deaths of Death (檮杌)).

She looked at the memorial tablet with strong energy flowing from inside for a moment, then carefully placed it in an empty space in the shrine..

And after a while.

The newly prepared place did not look much different from other places around it..

“Yokai are beings who are born mysterious and have used this ability as if they were breathing throughout their lives. It takes a lot of power to forcibly detain such people. The more criminals we lock up, the greater the burden we have to bear..”

“Hehe—.”

It was extremely inefficient..

They say that a lot of damage has already been done to Geumo Island from the moment they came here by breaking the rules, but additional spending is needed to maintain the prison..

In that case, wouldn't it be much better to just kill them all cleanly??

‘If you do that, you will be able to supply rare materials more easily..’

Instead, the cohesion of the organization was inevitably reduced..

It might be true that they are part of a major accident that everyone can acknowledge, otherwise it would not be easy to become attached to an organization that murders and butchers their own people..

Fortunately, Geumo-do, who is no exaggeration to say that he is the best in the world of martial arts, was able to find an alternative to solve the problem..

“The principle is simple. Instead of using our own power, we use the power of sinners instead..”

The idea was to forcibly steal its energy, drain it of all its power, and use that energy to suppress other youkai and at the same time operate the phantom circle, a reformation program..

So that all the monsters sealed in Chamhoe-dong can become each other's shackles..

“Even after doing that, I store the remaining power and use it when something necessary arises.?”

“Also Horus. You're very clever..”

Blue Dragon, with a happy smile, stroked his head and placed a sweet from somewhere in his mouth..

In other words, Chamhoe-dong was a place that was no different from a prison, a correctional center, and a power plant..

“And that has helped me a lot lately too. Even so, it took a lot of energy to maintain the balance of a world that was on the verge of collapsing..”

It was the best choice in a situation where it was not easy to trust those who had already caused an accident and were sealed away..

Right now, most of the power to run the world is being supplied from here..

“So Horus? Why did you want to come here? There's nothing here that would attract Horus' attention..”

After speaking, the manager of the Confession Building, Blue Dragon, looked down at Horus, who was munching on the sweets, with clear eyes..

Although he obediently complied with his sudden request, it was clear that he was puzzled as to why he did such a thing..

“Muttering—oh, that's it.···.”

He scratched the back of his head as he looked at the harsh surroundings..

Actually, there wasn't a big reason in itself for trying to check this place in person..

I just wanted to check with my own eyes to see if there would be any variables in what I would do in the future..

‘I didn't know that the "Yellow Dragon's Orb" was like this..’

He chose his words, recalling the prerequisites needed before activating the privilege..

The usage instructions that were naturally imprinted in my mind along with the system message were full of all kinds of difficult details, but if I had to point out the most important points, I could name three..

The first is himself, the subject who achieved the feat of being the savior of the Kang Hwan world and was given special privileges as the ‘last yellow dragon’..

Second, it is no exaggeration to say that the energy we just confirmed was enormous..

Finally···.

“···Can you take the dragon child to the dragon temple??”

Blue Dragon frowned slightly..

Yongsinjeon was like a sacred place only allowed to dragons, where even the leaders of Geumo Island could not enter without permission..

Since she had heard that humans, no matter how much of a 'dragon child' they may be, should be brought into such a place, even the gentle woman could not help but feel repulsed..

But Horus was confident.

After hearing what he said, she would have no choice but to follow suit..

And that confidence soon became reality..

“···Oh my gosh, let's call a five-dragon council right away..”

As soon as she heard the reason, she put everything aside and moved, instantly gathering the five dragons in one place..

Everyone was busy with their own work, but Chae-geun, who was usually calm, had no choice but to put everything aside and come running with her force..

“what? Blue dragon. What's going on, why did you call us all so quickly??”

A woman with short red hair who grumbles for no reason, Jeokryong..

“The Five Dragons Conference at a time like this. Is there a big problem??”

Baekryong, the eldest man with long white hair who opens his mouth politely..

“Horus Hello? I've been so busy that I haven't had time to see your face, but you're still cute.?”

A girl with long black hair braided and eyes full of curiosity, even a black dragon..

However, their different reactions gradually took on the same pattern as Horus' words progressed..

Doubt, disbelief, astonishment.

And even the expectations.

“Then I guess we all agree..”

Everyone nodded at the blue dragon’s words..

It's only been a few minutes since the five dragons' emergency meeting began..

The agenda regarding the entry of the dragon child, Zhuge Huimi, into the Dragon Temple was passed unanimously..

***

“Phew.”

A nervous Zhuge Hui Mi slowly moved forward..

It had to be that way..

In this unfamiliar environment called Hwan-gye, he had been brought in separately from his companions..

‘In a world full of monsters···.’

But I wasn't really scared..

She took a deep breath and walked forward without hesitation..

She had a firm belief that even if she was in trouble, someone would definitely come to her rescue..

Just like it has been all along.

“here! It's this way!”

I was moving forward without hesitation.

A young voice was heard from the end of the passage..

Looking there, she saw a little boy who seemed to be only about six or seven years old, waving his hand at her..

‘child?’

He was a very pretty boy, like a doll, with brilliant blonde hair and golden eyes that were rare in the midfield..

“Ahem.”

A boy who proudly raises his head and opens his chest..

It was so cute that it made me lose my mind for a moment, but as a dragon child, she was able to sense its presence sensitively and realized it instinctively..

About the true character of that cute-looking child.

Surprisingly, it wasn't the first time he and that kid had met..

“Hwangryong...? Are you really Hwangryong??”

During the war against the Demonic Cult, Beijing was completely obliterated with a single attack..

The same yellow dragon who later performed ceremonies for her and other dragon children..

“hmm! Do you recognize me? From now on, I will guide you, so follow me quietly.!”

That was the identity of the boy who shrugged his small shoulders and walked ahead right before my eyes..

She couldn't even ask the other person a question and followed him with her mouth shut..

‘···this doesn't make sense.’

She swallowed her saliva and squeezed her itchy hand..

Then, I closed my eyes tightly and fixed them again on the guide..

‘That fearsome yellow dragon is so cute!!’

As I watched the small feet move diligently and toddle around, I couldn't help but feel the tension around my mouth relax and my gaze was taken away..

As if possessed by a vicious monster..

There were beautiful works of art all over the passageway she was passing, but none of that caught her eye right now..

‘Ah, I want to pat your head..’

White and smooth skin like glutinous rice cake and hair that flows softly like gold thread..

From the small head shaking bouncily to the limbs moving vigorously.

Somehow, a scent like warm sunlight seemed to be coming out..

‘A child was originally such a lovely being..’

She spent her whole life wandering around in the deepest part of the world and never had a chance to come into contact with her child..

As I regained my health, I faced many dark sides of the world..

Because she was like that, I couldn't help but feel even more impressed by Horus, who exudes an aura like the sun just by his mere presence..

‘If I have children... Would it be possible to give birth to such a cute child??’

A wish that I thought would never come true not long ago..

But now it wasn't just a dream, it was reality..

‘Yes, I'm sure my child will love it too. As a mother, I am not inferior in appearance. And my dad's side···.’

Is it because of the kidnapping that happened not long ago?.

All kinds of delusions rushed through her mind..

In the end, she imagined the two-year-old's appearance by mixing the facial features of the two people, and nodded with satisfaction with a flushed face..

‘Yes, no matter how you combine them, they’re all pretty. Oh, by the way, what is your name? Would it be a good idea to build one for each man and one woman from now on? Hot! What if they are twins?!’

Jegal Hye-mi started to worry while groaning with a red face..

Horus, who had been giving preliminary explanations while guiding him, looked back and blinked..

“So you don't need to worry too much... huh? Are you okay? Where does it hurt??”

At that call, she, who had been lost in her own world, barely came to her senses and suddenly raised her head..

Of course, I hadn't heard anything he said..

“Sorry, sorry. Could you say that again? I was thinking about something else for a moment···.”

“hmm! are you okay! It can happen if you're nervous.”

The boy, who nodded in a dignified manner that did not match his appearance, looked at her, crossed his arms, and smiled..

“Well, putting all the complexities aside, let’s get to the point..”

Then he spread one finger wide and spoke in a lively tone..

“I'm going to make a baby from now on!”

“Yeah yeah—?!”

Horus tilted his head as he saw her reacting more sensitively than expected for some reason..

***

I was confused for a while.

After Horus continued to explain in detail, she understood the context and fell into deep thought with her face regaining its composure..

‘A new yellow dragon.’

baby.

It meant dragon cub..

To put it simply, it was a project to resurrect the real yellow dragon, not the fake yellow dragon Horus, into this Kangwhan world..

“Here you are, Horus. I looked through it, and right now we only have two. I don't know if there are any more intact ones left somewhere in the midfield.···.”

“I'm okay with this for now! You can’t hatch them all at once anyway! As for the rest, we can just calmly search and increase them one by one..”

“···I'll have to risk my life to retrieve it..”

Dragon Temple.

It was the center of a stone mountain that looked like a giant dragon coiled around itself..

Horus, who led Zhuge Hui-mi inside, accepted the object held out by the white dragon and his eyes lit up..

A circular sphere that shines blue as if it contains the sunny sky..

Inside, a bright golden glow wavered like flames or waves, radiating a clear presence and mysterious beauty..

‘Yellow Dragon's Yeouiju (如意珠)).’

This is a relic of a dragon who lost his life in an unexpected incident..

It was now a medium that would become the ‘egg’ that would conceive a new life..

‘「I knew it was related to Yeouiju, but I never thought it had a literal meaning..’

Well, considering that the Dragon God was involved in this privilege, it might have been natural..

Since the yellow dragon is absent, it is difficult to say that this world has returned to its original state..

‘Well, not bad. It's not like I can care about Kang Hwan-gye forever. If you leave a clear plan in order, the aftertaste will be clean..’

Of course, that wasn't the only reason..

In any case, since the “Yellow Dragon’s Orb” was his special privilege, there were quite a few advantages when he was truly successful..

“It looks like everything is ready. Then, let’s start the ritual. Please take care of me.”

The white dragon that left a message to Horus and Zhuge Hui Mi returned to its dragon form and soared high into the sky..

Then, they joined the three dragons who were already waiting in the sky and took their respective positions..

Blue Dragon in the East, Red Dragon in the South, White Dragon in the West, Black Dragon in the North.

[So, let's get started.!]

And while standing at the center of the altar in the middle of the Dragon Temple, Horus polymorphed into a huge gold dragon using the “Heart of the Elder Dragon”..

I felt like I was in a bit of trouble because I had prioritized survival in disaster situations and had not received proper succession from the previous generation..

In fact, each of the five dragons, who are direct descendants of the Dragon God, had their own roles..

The calm and rational Blue Dragon is the administrator and judge of the Chamhoe-dong Seal..

The warlike Red Dragon is a vanguard that actively responds to external conflicts..

Calculating and risk-averse, Baekryong is the office manager in charge of household affairs..

The insidious black dragon is a judge who gathers outside intelligence and eradicates traitors..

‘And the yellow dragon can be said to be a priest who symbolizes the connection with the dragon god..’

A powerful energy flowed from Hors’ body..

Of course, he was only treated as a wild beast and was not a true yellow dragon, so he could not completely replace the role of a priest..

Gooooo—

The one who fills in those shortcomings is the ‘Dragon Child’’.

It was Zhuge Hyemi, a shaman and an apostle sent to earth directly by the Dragon God, evidence of the miracle of world restoration..

“···Umm.”

A heavy moan came from her mouth as she knelt down and prayed, holding a yeouiju in both hands..

‘I feel like my body will explode.’

Not only the other dragons that became the pillars of the ritual according to the direction, but also the enormous energy that started from Chahoe-dong and flowed here was all at once being sucked into the Yeouiju in his hand..

Horus, the yellow dragon, was controlling most of it, but even she, standing at the center of consciousness, could not help but feel a burden..

‘No, it's still okay. Compared to back then, this is about!’

The moment I reunited with Ha Seung-hoon after being kidnapped by the Demonic Cult..

Compared to when I contacted the dragon god while blessing him, it was still only at a bearable level..

At that time, my consciousness was swept away before I could do anything..

‘How much have I received so far, so I have to do this much.!’

Who else knows??

Could this be an opportunity to learn some special abilities from the dragons?.

Because of something that happened not long ago, she longed for more strength so as not to become an obstacle to Ha Seung-hoon, so she gritted her teeth and grabbed Yeouiju..

at that moment.

Pajik—!

A cracking sound escaped from her hand..

Yeouiju, as its name suggests, was an object with strong power of origin..

A mysterious crystal so famous that some say it can make any wish come true..

Moreover, isn't the privilege of the system called "Yellow Dragon's Orb" involved in this entire ritual now?!

And the result of everything coming together is.

It was enough to twist some of the providence of this world and make a miracle happen..

Pajjik!

Between the broken cracks of Yeouiju.

[Kyahang!]

With a faint cry flowing from the gap.

A small yellow head suddenly popped out..
