Chapter 195 - Legacy of the Dragon Tribes 1 (2/2)
“Ah, first, remove the black-haired young man from the execution list. He's a human who passed my trial long ago.”
Adakar, the Golden Dragon King, dissuaded Estina and tried to get rid of her anger.
The other heads of the dragon tribes were amazed at his words and stared at Woohyuk.
“A human?!”
“He certainly does not have any horns or wings, but...”
“He must have made a contract with a demon.”
“No, it can’t be something so predictable. He’s together with a Saint and a Valkyrie.”
Odd hypotheses began to be shared amongst them
Drakia then spoke in Dragonic to draw the attention of the eight dragon kings.
[Don’t waste time like this and listen carefully! They are the ones chosen who will prevent the catastrophe that will soon arise. And the black-haired young man Adakar talked about is the one who is currently performing the Epic Quest.]
“Wha, what?!”
”That can’t be... That human with the dirty demonic energy within him…?”
“Are you sure he didn’t fool you? This might be one of Aleister's schemes.”
”That's right, that rotten human would do anything for the sake of his goal.”
Even with Drakia's declaration, the heads of the other dragon tribes did not fully trust Woohyuk.
Except for the Golden Dragon King Adakar.
“It seems he met Asura, the previous Demon God. I once heard this from Eve, the guide of the tutorial stage. She said that an otherworlder who achieves an incomprehensible and near-impossible achievement could inherit Asura’s name.”
“The Demon God? That can’t be...”
“But if Eve said that, it must be true. After she died, she volunteered to become part of the system.”
“Is she still unable to let go of her regret about Paradise Lost? … Oh well, I guess that it is the only way to resurrect Adam.”
After Adam died, his soul was sealed in a world beyond the system by the Creator himself, unlike what had happened to Eve.
The Creator needed Adam to control the divine lineage if it caused trouble and problems in the future.
However, no one knew about that, and the dragon tribes leaders only thought that the Creator was trying to give Adam and Eve another chance.
“In any case, that black-haired young man succeeding the former Demon God is due to the Creator’s will. We mustn’t willingly disobey it.”
“… Do you mean that the Demon God’s throne must be filled? I guess we can’t do anything about that.”
“It may be better to have the demons controlled under one absolute being. Think about the 72 Demon Kings. Because of their rank competition, they invaded the Eeth Continent.”
“No, isn't it more desirable to let them have internal conflicts to prevent further growth? But now that I think about it, the Demon God is also a god in some way. I am not in a position to disobey the Creator's command.”
“Well, the Creator’s will is subtle and unclear, so it is difficult for us to figure it out. Even if you are dissatisfied about this, you cannot break the ancient covenant now.”
One by one, the heads of the dragon tribes came to an agreement.
Woohyuk, who had been silent all this time, opened his mouth.
“In any case, I have come here to proceed with the Epic Quest. I must pass all the trials you will give me.”
“Aha, right. A trial. Those are fun to give.”
“Yes, I also enjoyed giving trials to humans who had come to steal my heart.”
“Who should we start with? If everyone is fine with it, I would like to go first...”
The heads of the dragon tribes, except for Drakia and Adakar, showed interest and grinned as their sense of playfulness had been ignited.
Woohyuk was a human who had achieved an unbelievable achievement and had succeeded Demon God Asura.
Since it was obvious he had been chosen by the Creator, everyone thought that there was no need to verify his qualifications for real.
But they still wanted to mess around with him for entertainment
Having realized their thoughts, Woohyuk spoke again.
“But I would like to make a suggestion. If you give me a simple test that can be completed in less than a minute, it will provide you with a residential area on this Sky Island. Of course, I will be fair to all the dragons who accept the offer.”
“… Are you the ruler of this place? No wonder the fortress was closed so tightly.”
“I approached it without much thought and was startled. A bright breath suddenly shot towards me out of nowhere...”
“No, it was an imitation of our dragon breath. In any case, I accept the offer. I really liked this place, so I am not quite willing to leave.”
“Personally, I agree with that. This floating island has great views and clean air, making it the best place for us dragons.”
The heads of the dragon tribes nodded one by one.
Then Estina interrupted their conversation with a dissatisfied expression.
”Wait a moment. We can just take it by force without listening to his offer, right? Why are you all falling for the words of this insidious human?”
The fact that the Red Dragon King had to make a deal with a human had hurt her pride.
Woohyuk immediately made an additional proposal as he had expected some opposition.
“If you do that, you will miss the opportunity to gain the cure for the disease that affects you dragons. This city has a state-of-the-art magic-engineering research facility, so with enough time, I can develop a cure.”
“What? Is that the truth?!”
“Then there is no reason for us to decline the offer.”
“If we get rid of the plague that bothers us, we can do more than that!”
The dragons unanimously agreed to the offer.
When the talks about the cure came out, even the Red Dragon King couldn't object anymore.
But, as she was upset by this situation, she gave Woohyuk a vicious trial.
“Alright then. For my trial, you must perform a deep kiss with that saintess. For at least one minute. Oh, don't forget the skinship and physical touch as well.”
“...”
She had judged that Woohyuk would be unwilling to touch the saintess too much due to their conflicting attributes and properties
And she wasn’t quite wrong. It would’ve been the case if they were ordinary demons and saints.
“Can’t you give me a more normal and formal trial? I don’t want to do it in such a public place...”
“… You’re not the only one to think that.”
In truth, it wasn't such a difficult requirement.
While it was a special situation, Woohyuk had almost slept together with Helena.
Woohyuk took a deep breath and immediately bolted towards Helena.
When she saw him coming, Helena's terrible scream echoed high in the sky.
