Episode 70
Chararararak.
Great magical power spreading out from Geo.
A world that was visible only to those permitted to enter shook.
Scattered bookshelves, second and hour hands on clocks stacked in layers, countless lines, letters, documents, records, history… … .
It was ‘Library’.
The sole representative, the sole incarnation, granted full authority by the owner of that place.
The omniscient librarian said:
“Life cannot be restored. I’ve tried hundreds and thousands of times, but what doesn’t work doesn’t work.”
Editing ‘modification’ had clear limits.
You must have a perfect understanding of the introduction, development, turn, and conclusion, and the scope and authority of what you can do are limited depending on the importance and level of understanding.
Life, fate, destiny… … .
Anything that had the word ‘mandate’ attached to it was beyond her authority.
Jianjio raised his hand.
To be exact, I held a pen.
“But it’s enough to restore it to its original state for a few seconds.”
An area narrowed down to one location.
The materialized records surround the dragon. Geo clears them away without hesitation.
As each layer was removed, the life force of the fairy dragon also fell away. However, they both knew that they would no longer be interested in such things.
Saaaaa… …
The contaminated stains are being erased. The accumulated scars are disappearing.
The mother-of-pearl color of the white sea is finally revealed as the lacquer shackles that were forcibly put on are removed.
Wheeee- karrr-.
I heard the fairies whistling and laughing.
Paat, the wings stretched. The colors of the brilliant season. Like a butterfly on the waves crashing under the sun.
As expected, X was beautiful.
Geo smiled brightly. Golden magic circuits flashed from his eyes.
“Tell me your last wish, sea dragon.”
The fairy Amphitrich bowed her head. Politely and elegantly.
[I, Amphitrite of the Mediterranean.]
[I entrust my fate to you, under the guidance of the Holy World and the Spirit World.]
A contract between a tamer and a partner summoner.
There are two ways in which that solid contract can be broken.
Either one of them dies, or the summoned being with a higher self takes on another master of its own.
The principle is that, and the latter should be considered non-existent. A partnership contract is soon a rejection contract.
The loyalty of the summoned creatures is unparalleled.
It is unimaginable for them to betray their master, who is like a lifelong companion. However.
“Can I ask you one favor?”
“What is it?”
“The lives of the tamer and partner are connected.”
“I hope my death does not become the death of the book. This is Amphitrich’s only wish.”
The death of the summoner was fatal to the tamer. The weakened Yunseo would never be able to endure Amphitrich’s death.
[The summoned beast, the fantasy species ‘Fairy Dragon Amphitrich’ proposes a partnership contract to ‘Gyeonjio’.]
[Do you accept?]
Kyeonjio looked straight at the fairy dragon.
A final dedication before death.
The dragon, she was crying.
“I accept.”
[… … I’m sorry.]
and……,
thanks.
Aaaah- Aaaah-.
The fairies cried. Tears fell to the floor. Amphitrich closed her eyes.
The light scatters. There is no body left.
That was what the death of a fairy was like.
[Your partner summon, the fantasy species ‘Fairy Dragon Amphitrich’… ]
A message announcing the dragon’s death rang out.
There’s no need to do that.
Geo had seen it with his own eyes, and now he could ‘feel’ it.
‘This is how it feels.’
Fairy wing powder that makes you forget pain and reality. It flies into the sky on the wind.
I stood there for a moment, watching the direction the wind was blowing. Soon, I looked at him with a calm expression.
“That’s so gross.”
When I turned around, there was Baek Do-hyeon watching me with a worried expression on his face.
“Are you… okay?”
“What, what’s not okay? It’s someone else’s dragon, not my dragon. Right, Nidhogg.”
“… … There was no need for you to do the contract for me. I understand that the penalty for the death of a summoned creature is quite severe.”
“Oh? Look at this guy. With that kind face and scary voice, is that you, Mr. Bit Do-hyeon? If you just left him alone, Yoon Ui-seo would have gone to the underworld at lightning speed.”
“still…….”
“Okay. And.”
Knock knock. Geo patted Nidhogg’s neck, who was acting cute despite his size.
“There’s still work to be done.”
Baek Do-hyun follows that gaze.
The gate to the other world had not yet closed. The sky was still a pale color.
A distant siren rang out.
It was late at night, but judging from the chat window that was going crazy in one corner of my field of vision, it seemed like news of the ‘Magician King’s’ appearance had already spread.
Baek Do-hyun laughed bitterly.
“The repercussions… will be quite good.”
Geo also chuckled.
“It is the king’s fate.”
He grabbed the air. The magician’s robes wrapped around his body as if enveloped in a secret night.
Press the hood down deeper.
Equipped with the Confusion magic passive, this one blurs the wearer’s impression in any situation.
Even if it is the firmament of upward flight.
“let’s go.”
The center will be late.
Because it’s a time when everyone should be asleep.
If you wait for them to come carrying the heavy closing device, you will be late. A little late.
I worked so hard to get it out, I can’t just have it pop up again.
The black dragon Nidhogg bowed his head. Jian Zhio, ‘Joe’ grabbed the horn of his loyal followers.
“Let’s all just leave work.”
Wait, who’s going to take care of my overtime pay?
Phew-!
The dragon’s wings, black membranes create a gust of wind.
And a night deeper than the night.
It was a split second that the black dragon, darker than the night, galloped upside down across the dawn sky.

[The court sentenced the guild
[ The management office said that they plan to apply stricter standards and severe punishments to prevent the recurrence of accidents that could lead to such large-scale casualties. Meanwhile, the Korean Awakening Association… … . ]
“Patient Yoon Eui-seo’s guardian! The doctor has something to say, so please take a moment.”
“Okay, I understand! Brother, I’ll be going. Can you be alone? Stay here for a moment.”
“Okay, Kangjae. Don’t run.”
Outside the hospital. It was a peaceful afternoon.
It’s hard to believe that just a few days ago I was living a hellish life.
Yun Ui-seo created a shadow with his hand from the glaring sunlight.
The Pangyo incident was reported nationwide.
It was only natural that ‘that person’ appeared from the appearance of the terraforming gate.
The guild
An incident that almost caused a city to collapse.
The center and the prosecution made up their minds and drew their swords.
The guild
As a result, it was only a matter of time before the full extent of the crimes, including illegal experiments on friendly rare species, violations of drug manufacturing laws, concealment of seed gates, and hunter slave contracts, was revealed.
The two names Invibe and Manumision were never absent from the front pages of newspapers.
People were amazed at how much they could do outside the law.
Yoon Eui-seo, who was a star ranker of
As his exploited life came to light, opinions ranged from sympathy to responsibility.
But for Yoon Ui-seo, it was a good thing.
“It’s really strange. I’ve been dreaming of this day coming… … but I’m not happy about it.”
The wheelchair rolls slowly. Yoon Ui-seo stops in front of the flower bed.
Spring in March.
A butterfly was flying.
“… … .”
“I’m sorry. It’s rude to say something like this in front of the person who saved you.”
“… … If you know it’s rude, then you don’t have to do it, right?”
A human cat lying sprawled on a bench next to a flower bed.
Kinggio muttered as he slid his back further, one leg shaking like a punk.
“If you look closely, you can see that they are polite. Those guys say everything they want to say and it makes people feel bad.”
“Haha. Are you mad?”
He glanced at me and rolled the candy in his mouth. It smelled fresh. It was peppermint candy.
“What to the sick person.”
“Kangjae told me. He said he hated hospitals and never wanted to come back… … .”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“So I was a little disappointed… … but I’m so happy to see you like this. Thank you… … I really wanted to tell you in person.”
“… … .”
“thank you.”
Yoon Ui-seo bowed his head. Geo burst into laughter.
“really?”
“… … .”
“Huh? Seriously?”
“… … .”
“You don’t resent me? You really haven’t once resented someone so great for not being able to save your dragon from there?”
There’s no movement. Look. Geo got up from the bench.
“I refuse to accept a thank you from behind. You ignorant fool.”
“… … I didn’t do it.”
“… … .”
“Not even once, I haven’t done it.”
The smell of tears.
Even the strong smell of peppermint candy couldn’t stop him. Geo’s steps as he was leaving stopped.
Yoon Ui-seo muttered.
“I know how much it hurt, how it went… … I felt it all until the very end.”
“… … .”
“And also… … because you must have felt the same way.”
Sigh.
With a deep sigh, Geo slumped his shoulders. That tall guy.
“I should have said I was resentful. This is the perfect timing. This look in your eyes, really.”
Yes, this is your blessing too.
Geo, who had turned around with a trembling face, took something out from inside his stomach, or more precisely, from inside his hood, and held it out.
“ruler.”
A question mark appeared on Yoon Eui-seo, who was covered in tears. Gyeon Ji-oh muttered with a displeased, sullen face.
“… … Yeah.”
“yes?”
“Ugh.”
“Huh? Please pronounce it correctly… … ”
“Ah! Dragon eggs! Dragon eggs! Fairy dragon eggs!”
Yoon Ui-seo looked at Geo in a daze. And slowly, his face crumbled as he understood the situation.
He curls up on his back, holding a palm-sized egg on his lap.
People passed by, glancing at the moaning, sobbing sound.
The moon was dazzling. Gyeonjio listened to the sound in silence.
Until it completely subsides.
Standing there.
* * *
“It was a surprise. I didn’t even know that, right? You already have a dragon, so there’s no way you’d want another dragon… … .”
“……huh?”
“… … ?”
“… … Uh, uh. Yeah.”
“… … .”
“That. That’s right! Of course, of course, nose, croak! Cough! Oh, why are you sneezing? Horrible. Of course! What, what do you think of me!”
Yoon Ui-seo blankly looked at the world number one ranking player who was fidgeting.
Oh no, this human.
Were you really going to run away with the money…?
A guide to proper living for rankers.
