Chapter 169 Set (3) (1/2)
After the very difficult process of naming was finished, he stepped out from the bustling crowd and moved to an empty area nearby.
Once he checked that no one was around using his Extrasensory Perception, he summoned Nemesis.
Nemesis slowly came to appearance along with dark fog.
A body like the Akasha’s Snake, but the head of a Mythical Beast for sure. He was already bigger than Chirpy.
Before, he had been about 5 meters long, but now, it was closer to 7.
Who would believe that he had been hatched less than a year ago?
‘Well, he still has a long way to go compared to the dragon god.’
He thought of the dragon god he saw in the Monkey King’s Palace and met Nemesis’s eyes.
[You seem different seeing you like this, master.]

Nemesis didn’t hesitate saying the word ‘master’ anymore.
“Because I have to grow as much as you guys grow.”
[Good. I don’t know about other things, but I like your mindset.]
Yeon-woo grinned.
Nemesis narrowed his eyes.
[So. Why’d you call me?]
“You should know.”
[Hm.]
“You didn’t say anything. How you were reborn. How ancient dragon Kalatus is still living. But I didn’t ask.”
Yeon-woo thought Nemesis needed to have some time to think, so he waited.

But now, he seemed to be somewhat better now. He seemed to have accepted the life Demonic Dragon Nemesis.
“I hope you can tell me now.”
After some silence, Nemesis slowly opened his mouth.
[The reason why I was reborn…..actually, I don’t know if you can call this being reborn. Since I have all my memories. But I died, and am living again. So I guess it is rebirth. It’s not too different from the method that the Legendary Beasts use.]
Nemesis two eyes sunk deeply.
[I roamed around nothingness all this time. There, I waited and waited for Jeong-woo to come back for me.]
Nothingness.
The dimension that was known to flow between worlds. And they said anything that went inside there disappeared without a trace.
But he still had his consciousness after all this time?
“How did you think of waiting for him?”

[Because Kalatus said so.]
“What?”
It was unexpected.
Yeon-woo’s eyes slightly widened.
[Isn’t that weird? From what I know, Kalatus closed his eyes after giving everything he had to Jeong-woo. Also, he even gave me his precious Dragon Heart. We kept his promise, and we even saw him return to mana.]
Returning to mana was the expression for when a Draconic species met death.
Since they were blessed with mana when they were hatched, they returned to mana after death.
That meant ancient dragon Kalatus had definitely died.
[But when I was surrounded by Cheongwado people without avenging Jeong-woo, I heard Kalatus’s voice. To wait.]
Nemesis still remembered what Kalatus said that day.

-Wait. That child…..will come back soon.
Come back.
Nemesis just believed those words and waited. He roamed around nothingness by himself for a long time.
Sometimes, he was overwhelmed with the want to disappear because endless patience was so painful, but every time, he heard Kalatus’s voice.
And he had entered the world again from the call of the same soul as Jeong-woo. When he woke up, he thought he was seeing Jeong-woo.
But it wasn’t.
“So that’s how it was.”
Yeon-woo was deep in thought for a moment.
So what resurrected Nemesis was the ancient dragon Kalatus. Yeon-woo heard his voice when his dragon body was being awakened, so he knew for sure that he was still living somewhere.
Also, there was something else he grasped.

‘Is Kalatus the reason for…..Jeong-woo being back at Earth?’
The reason why Yeon-woo came to Korea from Africa was because his brother was found. He had his ID card in his wallet, and in his pockets were pictures and the pocket watch.
After he entered the Tower, he was sometimes curious.
Just who sent his brother to Earth?
The place he closed his eyes was in the House of the old Arthia clan. It definitely wasn’t Earth.
So that meant there was someone who retrieved his brother.
But he didn’t know who that someone was.
There wasn’t anyone he could point out from the diary, and people like Henova and Galliard didn’t know the location of the Clan House.
But if it was the ancient dragon Kalatus.
All his questions were answered.

And most of all, Kalatus had said he would wait.
Until he came to find him.
Yeon-woo asked Nemesis.
“Where would Kalatus be?”
[Probably where his deathbed was.]
“Where is that?”
Nemesis answered in a low voice.
