Chapter 194 - Edda Chronicles 3 (1/2)
Brynhild said with a frown.
Just like Helena, she was worried that Roan would make trouble after getting his seals released.
Meanwhile, Roan was excited and urged Woohyuk.
”Quick! Quickly activate the next rune! Then I can finally humiliate all the girls here!”
“Didn’t I tell you to be quiet?”
“Honestly, don’t you want to mess around with these bitches too? If you release me... Hmmmh?!”
A dry cloth was stuffed in Roan's mouth, who was trying to spread vulgarity.
Helena then dropped a fist on his head.
“You really don’t hold back on your words, don’t you? You’re calling us bitches? Ridiculous...”
“Hmmm...!! Hmmmmm!!!”
“Shut it. You need to be disciplined. Actually, more than a discipline. You need to be punished. A bad child must be punished!”
“You would make a great mother, Witch of Profanity.”
“… What are you talking about now? You’re a rude man who can't read the mood.”
”Haha… Everyone, let’s calm down and return to the original subject...”
The silent Sieg smiled awkwardly and tried to resolve the tension.
As the surroundings became quiet, Woohyuk took out the high quality erdium from his pocket.
”But the erdium won’t be consumed and disappear just by removing the seal, right?”
”It won’t. You saw the power of erdium once in Inotia, the City of Magic-Engineering, right?”
Brynhild reached out her hand and told him not to worry.
When Woohyuk handed over the erdium, she immediately chanted a spell specific for Valkyries.
Swoosh!
A bright light resembling an aurora emanated from the erdium and flowed into Roan's neck.
After some time...
”Hahahahahaha! I’ve finally regained my power! It's an incomplete release, but it’s more than enough!”
Roan cheered joyfully and raised both hands up high.
He had broken through the golden rope.
Woohyuk then grabbed him by the collar.
“Who told you you could break your restraints?”
“Ha! I’m not going to listen to you anymore! Because I am now...”
Thwack!
Thwack!
Thwack!
Woohyuk's relentless began beating Roan, who then cried out loudly in pain.
He tried to resist, but his head kept hitting the marble floor every time Woohyuk’s fist swung down.
“Keuk...!”
“Don’t mess around, brat. I’ll use this opportunity to teach you a lesson.”
It was Woohyuk who had defeated six demon kings and three witches after obtaining the Asura class.
No matter how strong the Homunculus was, Roan couldn’t deal with Woohyuk with only half of his powers and abilities released.
Roan eventually knelt as Woohyuk's continued the beating.
“You’d make a great dad.”
“… Shut up, Helena.”
After brushing off Helena's return jab, Woohyuk grabbed Roan's nape.
Then Roan convulsed and began to shout.
“Pl, please spare me, Master! Roan was really stupid and hadn’t thought this through!”
“So you’ve finally realized your position here.”
If Woohyuk hadn’t overpowered Roan as soon as his second seal was released, the Homunculus would’ve blown the office away.
When Roan turned obedient, a series of system messages popped up before Woohyuk's eyes.
[Roan, the Homunculus of Gluttony, has recognized you as his master.]
[You may now select Roan's seal level (0~3) anytime, anywhere.]
Step 0 was to put him into a Shutdown state, just like when he was abandoned.
If he created trouble and messes, Woohyuk could sanction him immediately.
As Woohyuk stood with a satisfied grin, a golden aura suddenly shot out from the Edda Chronicles.
Swoooosh!
Its hidden ability had activated because the owner had satisfied all the conditions required.
When Woohyuk touched the document, a system message popped up once again.
[The Epic Quest ‘Legacy of the Dragon Tribe’ has begun.]
[As according to the ancient covenant, the dragons who departed to another dimension will now return.]
The ancient covenant.
A promise the heads of the nine dragon tribes had made with the Creator.
When the dangers foretold by the Goddesses of Fate would approach the world, they would return to the continent once again to face those dangers.
In other words, the dragon tribes had known in advance that the Three Great Catastrophes would occur.
In Woohyuk’s past life, no one had inherited Asura's name, so the dragons would’ve returned to the Eeth Continent in the distant future, after they had dealt with the infectious disease that polluted their minds.
As Woohyuk stared blankly in the air for a moment, Brynhild spoke first.
“Did you receive the Epic Quest?”
“Right, but there’s a slight problem.”
The return of the dragon tribes.
It would have a tremendous effect on the Eeth Continent.
Unlike his past life, the present life was accelerating at a tremendous pace.
He had yet to gain the Dragon Lord Class, so his current plans would be disrupted if there were friction between him and the dragons.
Helena also frowned at Woohyuk's explanation.
“There wasn't much mentioned in the Prophetic Book, but… there will definitely be some damage since the Eeth Continent is currently ruled by demons.”
“Ma, Master! Roan will get killed when the dragons see him! So please don't drag me outside!”
Roan, who had been listening to the conversation silently, clung to Woohyuk's leg as he feared his demise.
But Alejandro shook his head.
“The quest was activated thanks to this Homunculus, so you should have him accompany you. However, hiding his existence as much as possible will reduce any possible conflict with the dragon tribes.”
“Thanks for the advice. Then you can return to the dungeon now.”
When Woohyuk gave a signal, Sieg grabbed Alejandro and pulled him out of the office.
Watching their figures retreat in the distance, Brynhild spoke to Woohyuk as she suddenly remembered something.
“Oh, by the way, aren’t the Corcas Mountains the territory of Black Dragon King Drakia? If he realizes you are the monarch of the Rhine Kingdom, I don't think he will stay still.”
”Don’t worry about that. Joanna will explain it well.”
