Episode 039 The dragon in the picture…

Trouble popped up in an unexpected place.

Only the shadow of Gilliant reflected in the clouds was taken, but that one photo quickly spread around the world, leaving people curious.

▶A huge shadow appeared in the sky of Incheon Port… Is it a legendary dragon or someone’s prank?

▶ Witnesses come out that the dragon in the picture is related to the Avengers… … . What is the truth?

As soon as I read the article in the morning, I came to the fan club office, and sure enough, everyone was on their phones and sweating.

There was no one other than our members who knew about the existence of Gilliant yet.

I intercepted the receiver Kim Hee-jin was holding.

“Now what?! omg! Guild leader!”

“Shh.”

Reassuring the surprised Kim Hee-jin, I spoke to the reporter over the receiver.

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

three hours later.

Reporters flocked in front of the guild building.

The microphones of each broadcasting station ran on the pre-set podium.

As I stood in front of him, the reporters started bombarding me with questions.

“Are there really dragons in the Avengers?”

“Does the existence of dragons really exist?”

“Is it real that the dragon was there at the time in the picture?”

What are people afraid of?

poor? authority? eyes of others?

There are many things, but what people fear the most is the emotion that comes from opacity, uncertainty, and vagueness.

The anxiety that comes from ignorance is the most frightening thing.

I am afraid of poverty because I do not know when I will get out of it, and I am afraid of power because I do not know how it will apply to me.

Fear of others’ eyes is when anonymity is given to the target of criticism.

And all of these become obstacles to overcome rather than fear when the target is clear.

This incident aroused both interest and fear among people.

Along with the interest that dragons might actually exist, the vagueness of what to do if they really exist came together.

But the problem is that I have never tried to hide Gilliant, and there is no reason to hide it.

So, Gillian and I decided to take advantage of this situation.

“The dragon in the picture… … .”

When I opened my mouth, the tumultuous surroundings became quiet.

flutter! flutter! flutter!

And as promised beforehand, Gilliant flew over the building, sat down, and howled, revealing its majesty.

He ended his speech enjoying the expression of the reporters with their mouths wide open.

“… You belong to the Avengers.”

As soon as I finished my words, all the reporters’ cameras started flashing at Gilliant.

“What a scam! It’s out of balance!”

“Are you surprised? I thought the former Master would like having a dragon on our side?”

Danny Ahn, the guild leader of the Mage Tower, and Seohyun Lee, the deputy guild leader, were watching the real-time press conference of the Avengers Guild.

“Ah, that’s a good thing.”

Danny Ahn, who quickly accepted Lee Seohyun’s point, shook his head vigorously again and denied his words.

“No, that’s not the problem now! It’s called a dragon! there really is! A dragon!”

“Wow, is our Master very excited today?”

“You don’t look excited right now? What kind of a dragon is that!”

“It is all imaginary. We still don’t know how much the actual dragon is.”

Danny Ahn shuddered as he watched Lee Seohyun calmly point out.

“You sometimes can’t get used to me either. Guess who isn’t an ice witch? You’re the only one who isn’t excited about this situation, right?”

“I am more excited than excited? it’s a dragon I think Yoo Seo-joon is definitely someone who knows how to raise his stock price.”

“What do you mean?”

“Is this just coming out? Just looking at it, it’s a directing. It’s a show, a show. It’s the perfect show at the right time.”

Lee Seo-hyun said that and raised his thumb toward Yoo Seo-joon on the screen.

“really… Seojun Yoo. It marked a milestone in press conference history. Respect!”

“No, what are you talking about? Could you please explain?”

“Huh, Master. Don’t just get excited, think about it.”

“what?”

Lee Seo-hyun, who looked at Danny An, who said he really didn’t know, sighed and explained.

“It’s kind of a show off. Our guild has few members, but it is elite. He also has a weapon called a dragon. OK, here’s the problem. How will people’s eyes on Avengers change in the future?”

“hmm… Envy? respect?”

“that’s right. On top of that, envy and jealousy will arise.”

Having said that, Seohyun Lee pointed to the dragon on the screen and continued.

“But Seojun Yoo could have hidden this fact. That’s the point that Yoo Seo-joon is really great.”

“what? Didn’t you hide it?”

“Yes, when envy and jealousy get worse, they become arrows and fly away. Yoo Seo-joon said he had the confidence to handle them. Could a master do that?”

“No, never. Not because I’m a b*tch. Only I know of such a good thing, and I should use it. Even if you reveal it like that, it will only be a target, as you said.”

“I’m relieved that Master isn’t that stupid.”

“So Seojun Yoo’s press conference this time is a show to show off the strength of the guild?”

“Yes, I think so.”

While Danny Ahn and Lee Seo-hyun were trying to figure out Yoo Seo-joon’s intentions, Brian and Pyo Chun-deuk were watching a press conference together at the Guard’s Korean branch.

“I saved you the trouble.”

Hunter Brian, who was dispatched from the Guard Headquarters, said.

“Huh, have you seen such an absurd case?”

On the other hand, Pyo Chun-deuk couldn’t believe the situation in front of him.

“Now the stars… … .”

Pyo Chun-deuk distorted his expression as he saw the howling Gilliant on the screen.

No matter how much the world has changed, the existence of a dragon was truly absurd.

“I have to report on what has happened, so I need to meet Yoo Seo-jun.”

Unlike Pyo Chun-deuk, Brian seemed to be enjoying the situation as he talked while focusing on the screen.

“Tarik, our efforts have been saved.”

A low-level demon handed over the smartphone to a middle-class demon, Taric.

There was an article about Yoo Seo-jun on the screen.

▶The dragon in the controversial photo turns out to be the truth… It belongs to the Avengers!

▶Avengers, who possess the strongest species in the imagination, what is the next step?

After seeing the article, Taric, a mid-level demon, showed a fishy laugh.

“It saved me the trouble of finding it. The Avengers… … . Do you know where this is?”

“Yes, positioning is all over.”

“good. How did you go to Cass-sama?”

“As soon as the dragon chase is over, he asked me not to move hastily and let him know.”

“From now on, take your three demons and keep an eye on them. I will go to Cass-sama myself.”

“all right.”

After Gilliant’s appearance, astonished reporters started asking questions again.

However, I had to assume that I had already answered all the questions by showing Gilliant and saying that I belonged to our guild.

The case was settled by sending the reporters away and distributing a press release through TFE.

After the report went out, people’s reactions were split in two, as I expected.

People who cheer and get excited about the dragon’s appearance, and on the other hand, people who worry, envy, and envy.

But, more than anything, it was clear that I left Korea and imprinted the image of the Avengers and myself all over the world.

This would make it easier to identify friends and family.

With the appearance of Gilliant, those who were hostile or wary of us will also appear.

[By the way, will they really move like this?]

“It will move. For sure.”

On the day Gillian returned, he told me that demons would also try to find him.

‘Since the low-level demons disappeared with the soul stone, they must be looking for me too.’

That was the real reason Gilliant and I held a press conference and put on a show.

Rather than struggling to find and track Magi, let them find it on their own.

“So we have to get stronger before the demons move, right?”

[Seojun, you don’t become stronger by randomly drawing cards.]

“If the skills that can be used increase, wouldn’t that also make them stronger?”

Gillian, who has transformed into a small figure like before, said while looking at the Awakening Stones on the desk.

[Asmodians are not a race that can be dealt with simply by increasing their skills. I don’t know if there’s an opposite attribute that can defeat them.]

“What if it’s the opposite attribute of demons?”

[It is a divine attribute. And, as you know, skills cannot be activated without the appropriate equipment, right? So, don’t you have to pull out the equipment as well to pull it out?]

“I know that. I’m trying to pick out all the characters and equipment.”

There were things I had collected in the meantime, and the Awakening Stones I got this time were considerable, so I thought I’d pick them both up.

[Continuous drawing is executed.]

The card in the air sucked in the light of the Awakening Stone and began to spin round and round.

Soon, with a bright light, 11 cards were arranged in two rows.

One piece shines in gold.

Two of them glowing purple.

Everything else had a blue glow.

[Grade S] [Paladin Onin]

The man inside the golden card was praying, kneeling on one knee with his greatsword on the ground.

[Grade A] [Arphelio]

[Grade A] [Ilya]

Arpelio seemed to be aiming two pistols somewhere.

Ilya was a woman in tight leather, with two daggers in her hands.

[Continuous drawing is executed.]

This time, it was equipment extraction.

The card, which had been spinning like before, showed a slightly different aspect this time.

The colored light gradually took on a reddish light, and then it was divided into 11 cards, spreading the bright red evening glow.

[SSS Rating] [Firm Will]

The other cards didn’t catch my eye.

A brilliantly glowing sunset-colored card stole my attention.

There was a familiar large shield on the card, as if I had seen it somewhere.

The sword handle was also visible behind the shield.

[Seojun, where do you think you saw this shield?]

“I was thinking the same thing.”

I hurriedly opened the drawer and examined the cards.

A familiar shield was quickly found.

[S grade] [Douglas]

The shield Douglas was holding in the card had the same shape as the shield he had just drawn.

“Register, Summon.”

I summoned it right away out of curiosity, and a rectangular shield appeared that was enough to cover my entire body.

“Can’t you just hear this?”

The shield was as heavy as its size.

It seemed that I would never be able to lift it with my usual strength.

And inside the shield, as seen on the card, was a sword.

Sureureung!

The sword drawn from the shield was of a suitable length to be held with one hand.

Even so, it felt firm and sharp.

[SSS Rating] [Firm Will]

It is the exclusive equipment of Douglas, the vanguard of the empire, and the sword is hidden inside the shield.

After registering all the cards, I linked the newly drawn character cards.

*Support Skill[5/5]▼

┗Class C appraisal (fixed)

┗S-class victory prayer (12 hours)

┗Class S Crime and Punishment (12 hours)

┗Grade A pistol (24 hours)

┗Class A dagger throw (24 hours)

Victory Prayer was a kind of buff skill that raised the strength and stamina of team members, including the caster.

Crime and Punishment was a debuff skill, and the deeper the enemy’s sin, the stronger the bondage.

There was no description of what the criteria for the crime were, so I thought I would have to try it myself.

While looking through the card descriptions, a sudden thought struck me and I asked Gilliant.

“How did you come up with such a necessary skill? Demons are weak against divine attributes?”

[That’s right. Of course, the advantage can be overturned depending on the user’s ability, but divine power is definitely the opposite of magical power.]

“But, are you okay? I don’t have divine power?”

That’s what I was most curious about.

From noble mtl dot com

No matter how much the person’s skills are linked so that they can be used, the ones I’ve used so far have been either physical or using mana that I know how to use.

However, divine power was a separate power from mana.

Just as you couldn’t use shield skills when you didn’t have a shield, wouldn’t you be unable to use the skills of a paladin if you didn’t have divine power?

[hmm. I don’t know how your characteristics will be applied, but the basic thing about divine power is to accumulate divine power in your body through long hours of prayer. but… … .]

Gilliant, who spoke less, paused and then continued.

[However, it is not that there is no way to replace it.]

“What is that method?”

[Using artifacts.]

“Artifact?”

[And you can use your other traits as well.]

“If you’re referring to my other trait, you mean Elementalist?”

[Yes.]

smart.

Just as he was about to ask Gilliant how to do it, someone came.

“Seo Jun-ah, I’m Lee Hwi. Can I come in?”

“Yes, come in.”

I erased the floating windows and put the Awakening Stones in one place.

Lee Hwi-hyung, who entered the office, put down the Atomic Dynasty bracelet in front of me and said.

“I found something to convince my grandfather. Come with me.”

Lee Hui hyung’s grinning face was full of confidence.

Seeing him talking while showing the bracelet of the Atomic Dynasty, it seemed like he had found some kind of historical site.
