Episode 17 of The Chronicles of Darkness
trust
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
One day, when the weather was sunny, a large, straight path was opened in the forest where Jeong Gwang and his party had caught a deer, grilled it in mud, and ate it.
[Did you see it?]
Jeong Gwang answered Muntvar’s question with a sullen expression.
“Sure.”
[I am talking about the process, not the result.]
“I heard that. ‘Break through,’ he said just one word.”
Muntvar nodded and looked down at the concentrate.
[That’s what we do.]
“Thank you for teaching me so kindly today.”
[I just need to know. I’ll watch it now, so try it on your own.]
Jeong Gwang shook his head.
“It was a joke. “This is going to take longer than before, so go back home and wait.”
[There is no need to do that. Who do you think I am? Your ‘long time’ is ‘a moment’ to me.]
This was undoubtedly true.
For someone who has existed for such a long time, would waiting a few days be such a big deal?
It’s also a situation where it’s fun to watch a disgusting little creature get into trouble.
but… … .
Muntvar looked back on the past month, which had passed by surprisingly quickly, something he had never experienced before.
‘What on earth is this guy?’
It’s like he’s grumbling every time he demonstrates something, but he’s just vaguely imitating it.
It was not something that was commanded using dragon words, nor was it something that was accomplished through miscellaneous procedures like any other human being.
Just as he did when he used his body to fight, he used himself as a medium to manifest the mana that filled the world through magic.
This was possible because he had the ability to see how mana changed with the eyes of a god no matter what kind of dragon magic he used, memorize it with his brilliant brain that was hard to believe that it belonged to a human, and then create and calculate the appropriate formula.
‘It will be like that this time too.’
It was as expected.
After a few days, Jeong Gwang sighed.
“Phew. It’s pretty much done, so take a look. hmm… … Break through.”
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
The trees were shattered and the grass was turned into powder and scattered.
A similar road appeared right next to the road Muntvar took.
“how is it? “Is that plausible?”
Muntvar also admitted it.
[It is not an idiom, but the result is similar. I imitated it convincingly, just as you assured me.]
“Then I won again, and you look good.”
[Because it’s literally just an imitation. Why does your face look like that when you win?]
It has to be that way.
Jeong Gwang answered with his eyebrows furrowed.
“Because as you said, it didn’t work out properly. It’s great if you command it with a verb and it comes true, but you only say ‘let it be pierced’ with your mouth. “When I saw people shouting herbivore names and swinging swords, I laughed at them and called them stupid, but that’s exactly what I do.”
[That is your limit as a human being. It’s better than that guy, but it can’t be helped that they are the same species.]
Blanchard, who was a little distance away, sweating profusely and repeating the words ‘break through’ in a voice that was just like gnats, was furious.
“Above, great dragon. Joe, if you give me just a little more time… … .”
[I am fair.] [[Crumple it.]]
Wood clatter-
Blanchard, who had turned into a piece of paper that had been crumpled by a famous writer because he didn’t like the writing, let out a desperate scream.
“Kwaaaaaaaa! Hey, Jeonggwang! “Please save me one more time!”
“Then what are you going to do?”
“No more! I gave it all to you, so I’m broke! Ugh. Besides, I’m asking you to pay on credit!”
“That’s difficult. Hey, I feel it. “We’re not strangers, so let’s document it.”
Jeong Gwang tore off Blanchard’s clothes, wrote in the blood flowing from his body, and even stamped his hand before treating him with natural medicine.
Muntvar watched the scene silently and then headed towards Lair.
As I was walking, I looked back and saw Jeong Gwang holding his head, comforting the sobbing Blanchard, and recommending that they prepare more documents in advance in case something like this happens again.
‘Even if I fall into the demon world right now, there won’t be any need for an adjustment period.’
As we arrived at Lair, another monster got on our nerves.
[What are you doing again?]
“omg! Burr, are you here already? There was a bunch of old paper rolling around so I was going to clean it up… … .”
Estelle was making excuses while holding the book buried deep in the gold and silver treasures in her arms, and corrected herself when she saw the dark look in Muntvar’s eyes.
“… … In fact, it was slightly buried, but my foot kicked it as I was walking and it popped out, and I was reading it as I was throwing it away.”
Muntvar found what the book was in his memory.
It was left behind by a group of thieves who invaded this place a long time ago, who had been using clumsy curses and magic.
[That poor kid is trash.]
It was an appropriate expression for him, but not for humans.
“yes? How can you call the legendary Great Witch Catherine a poor little girl…? … ah! sorry. “It’s natural for the dragon to see it that way.”
Estelle apologized politely, as if she had committed a mortal sin, and then secretly asked for permission.
“There shouldn’t be any trash like this in this solemn rare. “I will clean it up right away.”
[It is of no use to me, but not to you.]

While Muntvar was trying to punish the small creature that was trying to steal the magic book, he remembered what happened earlier.
[What can you give me?]
“… … .”
Estelle made a blank expression.
If you had a treasure that would attract the dragon’s interest, you would become the richest person in the world and live a happy life. Would you come all the way here and watch the dragon’s attention?
But I wondered if I could miss this opportunity. After racking my brain over and over again, I finally came up with one thing.
“I don’t have it right now, so give me some time. I told you before that someday I will definitely walk alone. If you give me this magic book, I will show you walking faster and more confidently than you expected.”
[It’s the future, not the present, and I guess you forgot that I said it was trivial when you revealed that ambition.]
“Dragon! please… … .”
[I am generous. I allow it.]
“Aaaah! Thank you, thank you so much!”
[There is no need to be so happy. There are conditions.]
“Command anything! “I will follow you no matter what!”
Estelle cursed her mouth after hearing the dragon’s answer.
[Stand above all the creatures that use magic and curses. If you receive my grace, it should be like that.]
“… … “That is.”
[I don’t leave documents like anyone else. Do you know why?]
Estelle answered quickly because she was ready to kill him if he didn’t know.
“Because he is not a human, but a great dragon.”
[It would be good to keep this in mind.]
Muntvar made a small play and frowned as he entered the inside of the lair.
[You guys never get tired.]
Zhao, who was waiting with a neat posture, greeted me politely.
“Are you here? “I was preparing because there were a lot of things left to talk about.”
[After spending a month just introducing you, what is this time?]
“It’s a much more interesting story than my life story. “I want to talk to you about sobriety.”
Muntvar was not very bored with the stories he had heard so far, and he knew that Danju was a man, so he did not kick him out.
As I lay down on the floor, Zhao walked up to me, sat near my ear, and started talking.
A normal person would have already quit school a month ago, but for Muntvar, who had been living alone for a long time, a month was like a lapse in time, and since he had the patience to do so, it wasn’t such a bad pastime.
“I already told you how I met Dan Zhou, and I will start with the anecdote of the Kunlun sect’s Heo Qing Jin-in, who found Dan Zhou abandoned in the mountains and took him as his disciple. I can’t imagine it now, but at that time, Danju was like a newborn baby who whimpered cutely even when he was hungry or had to go to the bathroom… … .”
Time passed like that.
Cool rain continued to fall to cool down the sweltering heat, and after fallen leaves piled up on Silent Mountain, before they rotted, snowflakes fell and dyed the entire mountain white.
In the meantime, Zhao, a white child who met a seed called a dragon, released all the pent-up pain in his heart, and Estelle, who obtained the legendary witch’s magic book, read and trained day and night.
Blanchard, who was trying to preserve the magic that might one day be lost by learning and spreading dragon magic, was unable to withstand the dragon’s brutal assault and began writing a magic book to help people understand and learn magic more easily. Although it was a little bit, he was reaping small results. .
And Jeong Gwang-eun.
‘I will not. Even if you beat me to death, I won’t do it.’
I learned a lot of magic by observing and devising Muntvar’s demonstrations, but I was unable to use true dragon magic.
It was an achievement that could be praised as a miracle by anyone, but the only thing that matters is that the person involved was not satisfied.
‘Every time I say something out of my mouth, I feel a sense of shame and I can’t eat it. You have to do it right. Very well.’
To do that, I had to take an adventure.
‘Yong-Eon is putting power into words. In human terms, it would be ‘Eonryeong (言霊)’. To do that… … .’
I wonder if I was born like a dragon, no matter how much I think about it, it’s an indang. In other words, there was no choice but to open the Dandanjeon (上丹田) wide and become one through heaven and spirit.
‘Then it would be difficult if it turned into a fable.’
My whole body trembled as I recalled the memory of contemplating my own appearance in the air when I was able to cycle through the three stages of nature protection.
‘No, I quit it in a timely manner back then too, but will this be any different?’
More than anything, my pride was hurt.
Does it make sense that you can’t do something that others clearly do, regardless of whether the other person is a dragon or something else?
‘But just in case… … .’
Zheng Guang called Zhao and climbed the mountain together until they found a suitable place.
Zhao looked puzzled as he waved away the snow accumulated on the flat rock and sat cross-legged.
“Danju, what are you suddenly trying to do?”
“It’s quite dangerous.”
“omg! ‘Quite a lot’! Are you trying to destroy the sky?”
“It doesn’t end there. “I don’t want to go up.”
Jeong Gwang asked with a smileless face.
“Watch me and if my condition becomes abnormal, kick me to bring me back to my senses.”
“I am confident that I can kick it, but what if it causes great harm to Danju?”
“It’s better than being like a god. “You can start again.”
“How do you know that your sobriety has worsened?”
“If you’re at Zhao’s level, you’ll feel something different.”
Zhao’s face turned an earthy color.
“I am so anxious. Why don’t you do it?”
“I believe in myself. I also trust Zhao a little. “Then let’s begin.”
Jeong Gwang immediately closed his eyes and fully opened his upper chamber.
And, I accepted the natural guardian as much as possible and circulated it in Samdanjeon.
Jeong Gwang’s body was dyed in brilliant gold.
In response, the Anti-Demon Lord vibrated and radiated light, and Yeok Cheon-gyeong twisted his body loudly and screamed.
Hwaaaaa-
-Oooooh!
-Noisy. Shall we open the demon world and destroy it?
-Wow! Ugh!
As Yeok Cheon-gyeong strongly declined and remained silent, Jeong-gwang circulated the nature guardian faster.
How long has it been since you did that?
Zhao, who had been watching in a very tense state, opened his eyes wide.
‘This is it!’
Jeonggwang’s body, covered in gold, was fading little by little.
Zhao reflexively extended his mandarin duck leg and barely managed to stop it.
‘This is not it. It’s clear that Danju will be seriously injured.’
Even if you touch a warrior who is in the middle of a fortune-telling, he will fall into a state of intoxication. I couldn’t even imagine what kind of disaster would happen if you kicked a person who was in the middle of a fortune-telling.
‘Okay, let’s show off my talents!’
Zhao talked faster than anyone else before.
“Sober! You can’t leave like this! If you are still alive, think of the Unhu Jinin you are doing today and tomorrow! Think of Master He Qing Jinyin and the people of Kunlun who are waiting for you to become sober! furthermore… … .”
I tried to tell him everything, including the relationships Jeong Gwang had made and the enormous wealth he had amassed, but it was no use.
I tried talking about whether delicious food and fragrant wine would work in a situation like this, but it didn’t work either.
Zhao used a final move that he did not bring up because he was embarrassed.
“I feel sorry for you if you do this! Are you going to leave me alone?”
The light became fainter.
‘Unbelievable! I never thought it would work for me! What should I do now? ‘What should I do?’
They say that if you work hard, it will work.
My head woke up. The real final move was different.
Zhao shouted with a solemn heart that this was his last move.
“Sober! You said you would stop by Joseon to see what lies beyond the vast sea and have fun! In this life, I will make sure to have fun that no one envies!”
“… … !”
A miracle happened.
Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The golden light grew as if to explode, covering the sky and the ground, and then disappeared in an instant.
And Jeong Gwang, clearly visible as before, grinned.
“Of course you should. “Let’s quickly wrap things up and leave.”
