Chapter 31. Confession of the Dead (2) (2/2)
The king had a proud expression on his face as he looked up at the floating clouds and closed his eyes “But talent is not enough The Great Republic is a nation protected by countless Divine Dragons of departed heroes” [3]
“They are simply evil spirits”
“But what if they are not?” The king’s bright red Kingly robes fluttered as he turned around
“If there really are dragons that protect their land, do you think my people and my soldiers will be able to face them?”
“” The Priest closed his mouth Fro’s concern
The king looked at him for a second and slowly opened his mouth “When I die, cremate my body and release my ashes in the Eastern Sea”
“Your Majesty! Please, change your decision, Your Majesty!” The Priest’s voice cracked in surprise The king was supposed to be laid to rest with his ancestors in the tomb Why did he suddenly want to be cre spoke firmly with an unbreakable resolution “I shall becoon of the Nation and protect this country”
“Your Majesty, a dragon is but a dragon Even though we reside in the human realm, we are no different than the animals below us Why must you reject reincarnation and carry the karma of an asura?”[4]
“Priest, I have already experienced all the luxuries the world has to offer If I lose myself and become a beast, that will be my destiny”
The Me as it ended Seo Jun-Ho took a second to process this and forced a laugh
“Hah?”
He started to realize who the Naon was
‘He was the person who called hion of the Nation…’
It was a name that anyone in Korea would have heard at least once in their history class—the person who brought an end to the Three Kingdo Munmu of Silla
“Wow, I never expected this What just happened?” Seo Jun-Ho muttered to himself as he scratched the back of his head

“This was a hidden mission?” He even reached level 20 as an additional reward Seo Jun-Ho scratched his head and let out another laugh “Well, soood” His perfect clear was completely different from what he expected, but it wasn’t bad
His eyes lingered on the evening glow against the ocean before he left the Gate
“T-the Gate’s color changed! It’s green! They did it!”
“They’ll come out soon! Keep the doctors on standby!”
“Hey, reporters at the front! Stand behind the line!”
Ilsan Beach was full of commotion The association had sent a medical team just in case, and they kept them on standby while they blocked the reporters from the front
A man walked out of the Gate and into an air full of anxiety and anticipation
“Seo Jun-Ho! It’s Korea’s Player Seo Jun-Ho!”
“But why does he look so gri?”
“Then the Shadow Brothers…” The people fell into chaos
If someone died in the Gate, they expected it to be Seo Jun-Ho They had never iined that it would be the Shadow Brothers
shi+m Deok-Gu walked up to Seo Jun-Ho with a forlorn expression and patted his shoulder
“You’ve worked very hard, Player Seo Jun-ho” It was a charged statement
The fact that Seo Jun-Ho came out alone meant that the Shadow Brothers had indeed been fiends It also meant that he had taken care of the the full story, the reporters took two shots of the Player who had lost two of his tea him It was the perfect composition
A moment later, Seo Jun-Ho was cleared of any major injuries and went up to the interview podium
“It was an accident” Fat tears spilled froh to make shi+ plenty of tiet the Shadow Brothers and their heroic sacrifice”
