Chapter 038 Gillian returns

dark space.

A low-ranking demon was kneeling in front of a middle-class demon and reporting.

“You found the phone?”

“Yes, exactly, I found the place where the pawn disappeared.”

“Where are you?”

“It was at the beginning of Dobongsan Mountain.”

“Isn’t that where the dungeon break started?”

“you’re right.”

“Isn’t that a lie?”

“How could I lie?”

The middle-level demon shook his head and said, as if the lower-level demon’s report was not satisfactory.

“Doesn’t it make sense? Are the Awoken here superior to you?!”

“I haven’t competed, but seeing how hard it is to beat the advanced monsters that came out of the gate, it can’t be our opponent.”

“Then who the hell did you get the phone from!”

“That is… … .”

When the low-level demon pulled the horse, the middle-level demon pushed him.

“Shouldn’t you be able to tell me the right way?!”

“I will, I will! Fix it!”

As the middle-class demon raised the demon, the low-level demon fell even lower and trembled.

“In my opinion, a dragon… It looks like you’ve been hit by it.”

The low-ranking demon showed an expression of disbelief as he spoke.

Seeing his expression, the middle-class demon frowned and asked.

“Why do you think so?”

“Remember the green flame?”

“How could I forget that? Isn’t that the dragon’s own black magic?”

“Yes, the pawn fell under that spell.”

“then… really?”

“It seems that the dragons have also come here.”

The middle-class demon turned around, closed his eyes, and thought.

Hundreds of years have passed since the Great War.

At that time, demon forces from the demon realm arose following the demon king who was trying to rule the human world.

Humans resisted fiercely and dragons helped them.

That was a betrayal.

“How dare the treacherous race try to ruin our work again?”

The eyes of the middle-level demon who opened their eyes shone red.

He instructed the low-ranking demons who were lying face down.

“You should tell Cass-sama about this right away.”

“What are you going to do?”

“I will pursue the magic.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“And since the soul stone has been recharged here, give it to Cass-sama too.”

The soul stone given by the mid-level demon was shining brightly in silver.

“I receive an order.”

After the low-level demons disappeared, the intermediate-level demons looked back.

There was a huge amount of uncharged soul stones neatly arranged there.

“Gilliant, have you grown so much?”

After not seeing him for about three weeks, Gilliant’s body had grown to the size of a decent airplane.

“It’s still smaller than an adult, though.”

Gilliant, now able to communicate in the form of a dragon, flapped his wings as he said that.

We were flying in the sky with our bodies on Gilliant’s back.

“oh my god. What happened?”

“I know. It’s great to see Gillian again.”

Soo-yeon and Min-young clung to Gilliant’s back and said that.

“Keuheum, there was something to investigate, so I went around a bit.”

Gillian was ashamed of the violent welcome.

“You are almost there. I’m going down. Hold tight.”

We gripped the bump on Giliant’s back and the descent began.

Hung! Hung! Hung!

After Gilliant safely landed on the ground with the flap of its wings, we also came down from the back.

“Is it this close from Incheon to here?”

It was Lee Hui-hyung’s admiration.

Thanks to Gilliant’s flight, we were able to return directly to the guild.

“Everyone must be tired, rest. I have something to say to Gilliant.”

“Then I’ll clean up the warehouse with Minyoung and go in.”

“I will help too.”

“Thank you, brother Lee Hwi.”

Min-young, Soo-yeon, and Hwi-hyung went down to the warehouse, and I entered the office with Gillian, who had transformed into a human.

“Okay, how was it?”

“It is as I expected. Everything was the work of the demons.”

Gilliant told me about the things he had been investigating.

“I investigated the gate some more. sh*t. Humans, security is thorough. It was very difficult to break through at first.”

I was thinking of making Gilliant a hunter ID, but since he was an alien being without a resident registration card, there was nothing to do administratively at this point.

“So how did you get in?”

“Somehow, I secretly investigated by transforming into a small animal.”

“Did you meet another demon?”

“No, I didn’t meet another demon, but I was able to find traces.”

“Are there any traces left?”

“Asmodians shed demonic energy. The traces will never be erased. The only ones who can remove the traces of demons are the top 50 demons. and… … .”

Gilliant paused and then continued.

The dark expression seemed to be a serious story.

“I learned that the soul stone is also related.”

The soul stone was given to us by a low-level demon.

Gilliant said he would tell me about him later.

“Yeah, I was curious. A low-level demon gave it to you, right? What does it have to do with you?”

“there is. a lot. It was also the reason I was excited at the time.”

At that time, Gilliant clearly resented how many souls he had sacrificed.

“Are you saying that the soul stone is a stone with a soul, as the name suggests?”

“right. The soul stone was being used as a magical material for the demons who opened the gate.”

“It is a soul. Whose soul are you?”

Please I hope it’s not what I thought.

However, the next words that came out of Gilliant’s mouth enraged me too.

“person. is the human soul. It is probably opening the gate with the souls of Fantasia and the souls obtained from this side.”

“How many souls fit in one soul stone?”

“A hundred people, to put it mildly.”

Ha, I was full of energy.

I lost my family because of that gate.

I was betrayed because of that gate.

I found the reason and the culprit behind all that, but the souls of humans were used there?

“It may be recharged and used with the souls of people who were near the gate and were sacrificed by monsters.”

Gilliant’s words made me even more angry.

Maybe the souls of the parents were also sacrificed like that.

“That means that to end this situation, you just have to beat the demons, right?”

“Arthur. With your current skills, you can barely defeat low-level demons.”

“Are you that strong?”

“strong. In my current state, it would be difficult for me to meet a demon of intermediate level or higher.”

“The guy we met back then didn’t look that strong, did he?”

“Low-level demons have no choice but to bow down to the very existence of dragons.”

“Come to think of it, he seemed very afraid of you.”

As soon as he saw Gilliant, he thought of the low-level demons who fell down and trembled.

“of course. Our dragons are on the level of demon kings in the demon realm, and we are a species that is in contact with the gods.”

“You mean that a strong race has been applied to our team?”

“Then! sh*t. I was careless. I underestimated you guys.”

“One person can be as weak as you say. But, the team isn’t like that. I have no intention of taking a picture alone. Still, as you said, you need to level up your skills.”

“Yes.”

It became a world like a fantasy novel.

At first, everyone thought the world was going to end.

However, humans are not as weak as we thought.

Before anyone knew it, people had adapted to the new power and were overcoming it as a team.

As Gilliant said, dealing with demons can be difficult for individuals.

But, what if they form a group?

What if each member of that group is capable enough to deal with a low-level demon?

“There is a famous saying in our world.”

“What?”

“War is fought with weapons, but victory is won by soldiers.”

Those were the words of General George S. Patton.

It is also a word that many people have come to know as it was quoted in a movie.

From noble mtl dot com

No matter how good weapons you have, you can’t fight a war without soldiers.

That means that if quality soldiers gather together, the war can be won.

“You speak like Geralt.”

“Who is that?”

“He is the general of the Atomic Dynasty. He had a damn personality, but his commanding skills were excellent. He said something similar.”

“Anyway, you mean you might be dealing with demons in the future, right? You have to prepare for that.”

“Yes.”

Gilliant and I discussed what to prepare for the future on the spot.

*

A Westerner was standing in the association’s lobby.

He tilted his head, looking at the graffiti written in blood that filled one part of the wall.

“Hey, what do those letters mean?”

The Westerner grabbed a passer-by and asked.

Caught by a Westerner, he couldn’t understand English and looked around in a cold sweat.

Then he saw Lee So-jung entering the lobby.

He was the personal secretary of the association president and the only member of the association to speak five languages.

“So, Mr. Sojung. Guests are here!”

“hey! Are you ignoring people?”

Lee So-jeong came to a Westerner who disapproved of a man shouting at someone while ignoring him.

“Excuse me, how did you find me?”

“Your lady speaks English. What does that handwriting mean?”

Lee So-jung frowned when she saw the ‘welfare family’ he pointed to.

Every time I went to work, I asked if I could delete it because it was ugly, but the president of the association didn’t even pretend to listen.

‘I’ll just let it go. That will increase the fighting power of the Association members.’

To Lee So-jeong, whose words didn’t make sense, this graffiti was just one of her headaches.

“To put it simply, it means that the younger students will come and come up. Please answer my questions too.”

The foreigner laughed and said to Lee So-jeong, who stared at him with a cold expression.

“I’m here to see the branch manager Pyo Cheon-deuk.”

“Isn’t it usually polite to also say who you are?”

“Oh, excuse me. I am Brian I’m from the ‘Guard’ headquarters.”

The new name of the World Awakened Association, ‘GUARD’ Now that the associations were united, the Korean association was now called the Guard Korea branch.

“You are from headquarters. Please follow me.”

“Korea is colder than I thought.”

Brian smiled and followed Sojung Lee.

Lee So-jeong looked at Brian like that in front of the elevator and said.

“The headquarters seems to be a lighter place than I thought.”

After saying that, Lee So-jung said as she got on the elevator that arrived before Brian could say anything.

“You’d better get rid of that joke in front of the branch manager.”

Although Lee So-jeong was speaking seriously, Brian smiled and nodded.

Lee So-jung was upset about Brian’s attitude.

ding.

After the elevator arrived, Lee So-jeong, who went to the branch manager’s office, knocked.

“Chief, I am Lee So-jeong. A guest has arrived from the Guard Headquarters.”

“Come in.”

Upon entering, Pyo Cheon-deuk was reading the Awakened newspaper.

On the front side, there was a photo of a giant dragon’s shadow through the clouds in a sky with lightning flashes.

“You said you were from headquarters?”

Pyo Chun-deuk, who folded the newspaper, looked at Brian behind Lee So-jeong.

“I am Brian.”

“Pyo Chun-deuk, the branch manager.”

Pyo Chun-deuk greeted Brian as he held his outstretched hand.

Pyo Cheon-deuk looked at him and gave a satisfied smile.

“Thank you for complying with my request.”

“In addition to your request, Headquarters asked us to find out the truth about this dragon incident.”

Lee So-jung, who was interpreting in the middle, looked surprised at the words of the two.

“Chief, did you request assistance from headquarters?”

“Oh, didn’t I tell you? He is the one who will take over the position of general manager of the site, which has been vacant since Kim Min-cheol died.”

When Lee So-jeong looked at her in surprise, Brian smiled and waved his hand.

“Dragon, are you talking about this?”

When Pyo Chun-deuk showed him the front page of the newspaper, Brian nodded.

“Right now, the whole world is in an uproar over that one photo. No matter how novel-like the world unfolded, it was a dragon. I’ll have to find out if it’s someone’s joke or if it’s real.”

Pyo Cheon-deuk grinned at his words.

I had a guess.

It was because of what was written at the end of the article.

“… … The place where this dragon was first discovered was above the sky at the gate off the coast of Incheon, where the Avengers challenged.”

‘It’s going to be pretty difficult this time. Yoo Seo-jun, what are you going to do?’

*

The Avengers fan club, TFE, was suffering from a ringing phone.

“No, that’s it. therefore.”

Kim Hee-jin, who answered the phone, was on the verge of crying.

Most of the calls were from the media.

Reporters were urging the staff who answered the phone.

– What is the truth? A giant dragon in the sky of Korea! What are the Avengers hiding now?

Just as Kim Hee-jin was about to say something to the pressuring reporter, someone snatched the receiver from her.

“Now what?! omg! Guild leader!”

“Shh.”

Yoo Seo-jun put his finger to his mouth and spoke into the receiver.

“This is Yoo Seo-jun. I will tell you.”
