Chapter 1889

......

The body of the mouse seemed like it was going to fall backwards. It was because he was overzealous in his desire to capture the image of the giant G.o.d in his sight. The Blue Dragon, who was said to be the most powerful among the Four Auspicious Beasts, didnt allow the eyes and understanding of mere mortals. It behaved n.o.bly, as if the origin and heart of humanity, the aspiration of humanity was very precious.

Surprisingly, you arent cursing.

Grid reacted with surprise to the silent Bunhelier. The Blue Dragon had gradually learned etiquette and now it bowed to Grid. Grid had predicted Bunheliers accusations. He thought that this guy would talk nonsense like it was pathetic that it resembled a dragon.

Yet unexpectedly, he was silent. He silently observed the Blue Dragon with eyes that were unusually glazed over.

It isnt disgraceful to bow to you, Bunhelier replied nonchalantly.

That was it. He fell silent again and examined the Blue Dragon. It seemed to take quite a long time due to the narrow field of view caused by polymorphing into a mouse.

Grid gave him a strange look before naturally meeting the Blue Dragons eyes.

How have you been?

Grid was also courteous to the Blue Dragon. The myth of the Four Auspicious Beasts mightve been incorporated into the Overgeared World, but this didnt mean it was a master-slave relations.h.i.+p

For Grid, the Four Auspicious Beasts were more like respected seniors. This was true even if they had suffered one defeat and one failure. They were beings too n.o.ble to be oppressed by mere hierarchies.

-Humans are getting along unexpectedly well thanks to the reduced anxiety.

The Blue Dragon became several times more powerful than the first time they met and gave all the credit to humanity. It was an att.i.tude of never forgetting ones roots. In fact, it was also an expression of grat.i.tude toward Grid. Grids performance was beyond restoring the myths that the humans of the East Continent had forgotten and reducing their worries.

I dont think it is too much.

The Blue Dragons expression was even harder to read than a dragons. A body made up of divine lightning energy, not bones and fleshthe lack of muscles meant there was no change in facial expression.

However, Grid understood the Blue Dragons inner thoughts. The cold that came due to the anger left behind. The people who had nowhere to go because of it. Being wors.h.i.+ped by their offspring made the Blue Dragon feel a tremendous sense of burden and guilt.

Grid comforted the Blue Dragon by saying it was fine. You just have to do better in the future. Isnt it okay if you dont betray peoples faith again?

-......

Dont betray faith. For G.o.ds, it meant not to fail.

He was discussing the near impossible casually. At first glance, it almost sounded like a provocation. However, the Blue Dragon didnt misunderstand.

-I will listen carefully.

The Blue Dragon reflected on what Grid was like.

After a series of unbelievable activities, he saved humanity and even destroyed an Absolute who had ruled one dimension...

It was definitely something to be proud of. Things that seemed impossible for him would be easy for him.

Umm... Bunhelier let out a sound that seemed like a groan. His eyes were still fixed on the Blue Dragon. In fact, it was strange that he didnt seem interested in the yeouiju held by the Blue Dragon. What was distracting him?

-It is true that when the Twelve Zodiacs compete, the rat always takes the lead. This isnt because it is exceptional. It is because of the rat using the pride and strengths of the other members of the Twelve Zodiacs to its advantage.

The Blue Dragon could no longer look at the mouse. It advised that mice werent suitable for use as spiritual objects and subtly gave the mouse a look. Even though Bunhelier was right in front of it, the Blue Dragon was unable to grasp Bunheliers ident.i.ty.

Something was wrong and it judged that it wasnt an ordinary mouse, but the Blue Dragon couldnt think of a dragon. This was due to Bunheliers Polymorph skill being refined after repeated battles. It was also the result of the difference in level between Bunhelier and the Blue Dragon.

Grid felt it too. Comparing Bunhelier and the Blue Dragon side by side, the Old Dragon was indeed different. Bunhelier might be the weakest of the Old Dragons, but he overwhelmed the Four Auspicious Beasts in many ways. No, it wasnt just the Four Auspicious Beasts. Maybe he was comparable to Hanul, who had fallen to the point of being seriously injured by the Blue Dragon?

Grid remembered something he had always wondered about and asked the Blue Dragon. I heard that you pierced the heart of one of the G.o.d of the Beginning.

-Um...

The Blue Dragons tone became more cautious.

-I was lucky. At that time, Hanul wasnt in an intact state shortly after his defeat. He also consumed a considerable amount of energy to create a dimension. A trump card that I had hidden worked well in line with the situation. Nevertheless, the fact that it was only a small wound was the decisive factor that frustrated me at the time...

Does it take a lot of energy to create a dimension...?

The Overgeared WorldGrid was also a being who had created a dimension.

Of course, his position was very different from that of Hanul, who created the Hwan Kingdom in the middle of the sky where nothing existed. The Overgeared World was based on the Overgeared Kingdom and the system supported it. It was as if he enjoyed the authority of the Emperor and the privileges of a player at the same time. Therefore, he couldnt understand Hanuls position.

-......

The Blue Dragon took it differently.

Bunhelier clearly read the Blue Dragons astonishment.

***

I cant touch this imoogi? There is no way a daoist immortal would claim to be an escort for a monster? Yet it is like a bomb that will explode if I touch it?

Hw.a.n.g Gildong tried hard to retort. The location of the old man who was being asked the question couldnt be identified. The scenery, which had changed several times by the repeated formations being overlapped, had suddenly transformed into the middle of a street.

Buzz buzz.

Merchants engaged in soliciting business, pa.s.sersby worried about choosing products, drunks drinking alcohol in broad daylight, and so on. All types of sounds were heard in all directions. The smell of fish on display at the stall next to him stung his nose. Everything felt real.

It is in the territory of being amazing... besides, it is so thorough in the weirdest areas.

It was the middle of summer when the sun was s.h.i.+ning. No matter how much Hw.a.n.g Gildong was a transcendent, his winter clothes felt somewhat stuffy. His thick scarf was instantly soaked with sweat. In the end, he couldnt resist and threw off his scarf while searching for the old mans whereabouts.

The scenery changed again and the wind blew in. Hw.a.n.g Gildong clicked his tongue as the sweat on his exposed neck cooled down in an instant. Your personality is nasty.

Pigs see only pigs. This isnt what I want to hear from you, who have taken advantage of worldly circ.u.mstances to spy on other peoples every move and covet their goods.

The old mans voice was heard. It felt like it came from right behind his back, above his head, and from far away at the same time.It was impossible to discern the direction.

Pigs see only pigs?

It means that pigs can only be seen in the eyes of pigs.

I didnt ask because I didnt know the meaning. The Sword Saint of the current era has a personality as eccentric as his hobbies.

This old man has an excellent discerning eye.

......

Hw.a.n.g Gildong understood that Kraugels personality was also formidable and chose to remain silent. He also didnt explain that he repeatedly monitored other peoples every move and s.n.a.t.c.hed goods as purely for the sake of the people. He suppressed the cry that this daoist immortal who was a bystander in the world didnt deserve to criticize him.

Hw.a.n.g Gildong had always been like that. In a world where myths were forgotten and distorted, even when he became the main enemy of the yangbans and the four kingdoms and was stigmatized, he walked his own way in an aloof manner. He was one of the unsung heroes.

I miss Old Sword Demon.

...But this didnt mean that he couldnt feel resentment and that it was unfair.

Hw.a.n.g Gildong missed Old Sword Demon, whom he could manipulate on the palm of his hand. He would be able to relieve his stress right away if he was with Old Sword Demon. However, the world that recalled the true myth regained peace, albeit superficially.

Suddenly, Old Sword Demon left and Hw.a.n.g Gildong was alone again. Eventually, he got involved with a nasty human.

Why are you protecting the imoogi? Kraugel suddenly asked on behalf of Hw.a.n.g Gildong.

He had accurately identified the location of the old man.

Super Sensitivitythe power that symbolized the Sword Saint, along with the sword that cut anything, was unstoppable. At times, it made even an Absolute nervous. In particular, it was close to a superior advantage over a daoist immortal. The common specialty of the daoist immortals was to use amulets and swordsmans.h.i.+p. This was why their techniques were mainly used for illusion techniques. If they were detected by Super Sensitivity or cut by the sword, they were bound to collapse.

But I cant see it as an advantage.

Kraugel had a deep connection with the daoist immortal, Bentao, in the process of returning from the elemental world. Many times, he had witnessed techniques that went beyond the level of illusions and escaped from common sense. In the first place, a daoist immortal combat power wasnt concentrated on illusion techniques. They each had their own martial arts that they had honed and exercised unbelievable miracles, especially from the point of dealing with the resource called the power of law.

Nevertheless.

A sword that resembled one of the worlds most famous treasured swords revealed its appearance. He didnt take any particular stance.

The state of being one with the sword.

Hw.a.n.g Gildong trembled. It was as if he could feel the sharp wind being torn to pieces. It was a phenomenon caused by the sword wind that seemed to count every single hair on his head.

The energy emanating from the Sword Saint of the present era in all directions was a clear blade.

The former generation Sword Saint who survived until he became old and became a G.o.d, and the former generation Sword Saint who evaded his duties and death by living in a dimensional gapthe name of the present day Sword Saint, shrouded in the shadow of the two seniors who were strangely obsessed with life, became strongly imprinted in the minds of the transcendents of the east at this moment.

The present day Sword Saint has been devalued.

It happened as Hw.a.n.g Gildong was convinced...

If you dont want to answer, then open the way. I will cut you if you continue to endure.

Kraugel couldnt get an answer to his question and pointed his sword in one direction. The gray winter sky was dyed with the sunset. It was the effect of Grids faint divinity rising from the sword as sword energy cut through the wind.

Kraugel was also aware of it. There were only two Twilights in the world. He couldnt talk about defeat prematurely as long as he was carrying one of them.

The old man, whose shadow was revealed in the backlight created by the sunset, sneered, Is the characteristic of a Sword Saint madness?

Does he have a connection with my seniors?

It was plausible. Hundreds of years would just be amus.e.m.e.nt for a daoist immortal. Moreover, the old man in front of him was old even for a daoist immortal. He mightve endured eons like the Great Robber of the Red Night.

Kraugel didnt think much of it and corrected the old man, Im different from my predecessors.

Unlike Biban or Muller, he was more humble than anyone else. Since he was born in the same era as Grid, he had to cultivate humility as a basic skill.

Hw.a.n.g Gildong stared at the proud Kraugel from the side and muttered, Is it because he painted on powder that his skin is thick?

***

It is the traces of the Sword Immortal.

There were two main reasons why Hanul established the Hwan Kingdom in the East Continent.

First, many people lived there. It was easy to receive wors.h.i.+p. The more important thing was that there was an energy body that rivaled a dragon heart. It was an object called a yeouiju.

It wasnt like a mere imoogi or the Blue Dragon. The G.o.ds had figured out that somewhere on the East Continent, there was a special yeouiju of unknown origin. It was powerful enough to completely restore Hanul, who was seriously injured by Rebecca and was endlessly weakening.

However, it wasnt easy to find it because its whereabouts were unknown. Under various circ.u.mstances, the Hwan Kingdom suspected the Sword Immortal, who hadnt appeared, had hidden it. They were just afraid there would be an adverse effect if they acted recklessly. Now they didnt have to be so careful any longer. To be precise, they couldnt afford it.

The Absolute, who caught a rare glimpse of the Sword Immortal, immediately stood up.

Coincidentally, it is outside the Overgeared World. Of course... it is a good opportunity.

The Absolute picked up the bow that was placed beside the throne. It was a sacred item that his only brother used until his brother fell into h.e.l.l. It was an extremely powerful weapon that contained the entire large-scale myth of The War of the G.o.ds.

It meant he wouldnt allow any variables. In other words, he was determined to do everything possible.
