Chapter 179: The traces of Diablo (2)

Edit: HungryPanda

Muyoung was also aware of this.

Before Snow noticed and warned him, he was able to instinctively sense the appearance of fire dragons.

Was this also due to Diablos flames he had absorbed?

Blaaaze!

The surrounding area was burned up.

Muyoung was in the middle of it.

However, the flames poured out by the fire dragon didnt go past Muyoung.

It was because Muyoungs whole body was absorbing the flames.

<Ruler of Flames allows you to absorb flames weaker than yourself.>

<As you absorb more pure flames, your pure stats increase.>

<The user Muyoung has absorbed the flames of fire dragon Gurkha.>

<Strength increased by 3.>

<Stamina increased by 2.>

< Strength increased by 1.>

The Fire Dragon Gurkha was younger compared to most dragons.

You could tell just by looking at its size. However, even Gurkhas flames helped raise his stats.

However, there was a limit.

No stats were raised after a few messages popped up.

Did a fire dragon stop the flames of a fire dragon?

Thats Gurkha!

The elves were terrified.

By Muyoungs appearance and the sudden attack of Gurkha.

In reality, there were a lot of dragons that were aggressive, but they were quite prudent.

They didnt just attack all of a sudden.

Perhaps a different kind of energy from Muyoung had offended Gurkha.

Muyoung slowly stretched his hand.

He absorbed the fire Gurkha had.

As he opened his mouth slightly and ate up the flames in his mouth, he felt an astringent taste.

The taste of fire.

The tip of Muyoungs lip lightly went up.

For a fire to have a taste.

However, Gurkhas flame was bitter. It hadnt ripened yet.

On top, it meant that he was able to absorb flames

A fire weaker than me.

Blaze!

The Holy Fire was created in Muyoung right hand.

The holy fire absorbed Gurkhas flames and surrounded the place.

In an instant, its size increased, and in that state, Muyoungs Holy Fire was thrown towards Gurkha.

Kyaaackk!

Clank! Clank! Clank!

Just because they were fire dragons, didnt mean they only used fire.

Fundamentally, the dragons were able to use specialized true magic.

A net made out of the fire was spread around Fire Dragon Gurkha.

A barrier like a web was placed.

However, the Holy Fire ripped the web apart.

The dense and strong web instantly became tattered by the invader.

Blaazee!

Soon, the Holy Fire was carried onto Gurkhas wings.

As Muyoung opened his fist, the Holy Fire burned Gurkhas entire body.

Kyeeeeackkk!

A fire dragon is burning?

This is ridiculous

The elves who were watching widened their eyes.

They couldnt speak any further.

The fire dragons were creatures that were born from fire.

Of course, they had the immunity of fire.

They occupied and lived in one volcano. They also absorbed fire and created them.

Their scales that covered their entire body was especially strong against heat.

That should be the case.

Thud!

Gurkha fell towards the ground.

He didnt die.

Just, he was screaming out loud as he twisted his body.

Maybe its because he is a young dragon, but hunting isnt difficult.

Currently, Muyoungs fighting power was already above the top 10 humans.

The Dragon Lord Hansung. Only about his level would be able to stop Muyoung.

However, if he was to fight Hansung with all he had, Muyoung thought his win rate would be around 90%.

If Arkisa fought with Hansung then the probability would be 50%.

You would be able to hunt a young dragon like Gurkha with a well-made party, even if you werent in the top 10.

I should be able to create a bone dragon.

Muyoung hasnt made a bone dragon yet.

There was no reason for him to not be able to make a bone dragon if he took away Gurkhas life right now and left just its bones.

However, it was true that he felt a bit disappointed.

Whatever it was, if you created it first you would gain that much more.

Gurkha was young for a dragon. It wasnt fully grown.

Pa!

It was right then when Snow poked Muyoungs side.

When he turned his head, Snow was drooling as she looked at Fire Dragon Gurkha.

They say Garuda ate dragons.

Muyoung rubbed his chin.

Although it was only a story, Garuda was a dragon eating being.

Garudas successor would therefore also be in a close relationship with the dragons.

As they called them fire dragons, one should be okay as an experiment.

Muyoung was planning to stay in the spring for a bit.

He was going to find the rest of Diablos traces and hunt the fire dragons that invade and make a bone dragon from the one best among them.

Also he was curious about Snows true identity.

Like Muyoung, Snow was also from the past.

Was that why?

As he looked further into Snow, he thought he was able to find certain truth.

Muyoung nodded his head.

Paa!

Snow smiled brightly.

Then, she ran towards Gurkha.

At the same time, a huge white crow image appeared on Snows back.

However, the head and wings were bright gold.

As the crow-like image popped out, it opened its mouth and tried to swallow Gurkha.

Garuda.

After seeing this, Muyoung gulped his saliva.

The size was smaller than the stories but there was definitely godliness in that crow.

Perhaps, bigger than Luciferres.

So, Muyoung was unable to help but think it was Garuda.

It was hidden cleverly that even Muyoung was unable to sense it.

But, as it tried to swallow the fire dragon, it showed its form without hesitation.

He hasnt seen anything like this even in the past.

Does it mean she wasnt just simply a successor?

The past has changed, and Snow had also faced a lot of life-changing events herself.

Although it probably wasnt real, she had earned the powers that Garudas form had.

Gulp!

Then, Garuda swallowed Gurkha.

Literally, Garuda swallowed it in one gulp.

Ahhh!

After, Snow fell to the ground and let out a scream.

Soon, something that wiggled in her back popped out.

A pair of small red wings sprang up.

It seems like she didnt lose all her wings.

Snow lost her wings as she was born again. No, Muyoung thought she did.

However, as she absorbed Gurkha, a pair of red wings appeared.

It seemed like that sort of wing appeared when she eats a dragon.

Although it was at most the size of an adult arm, it was a surprising change.

Later, Snow got up.

And then looked at Muyoung.

Pa!

As if she wasnt in pain at all, she quickly approached Muyoung and stood in front of him.

She certainly didnt seem to have any ill intentions.

Perhaps it was due to the assimilation with the Armfuls Cradle spirit, but she had only infinite goodwill.

At least, he was able to trust Armfuls Cradle.

Who who are you guys?

The leader of elves alternately looked at Muyoung and Snow.

However, his tone was different from the past. He became politer.

As Muyoung didnt just make a blow on the fire dragon but even ate it up, in their eyes he could only be seen as an overwhelming being.

An ancient class dragon. Or, something similar to that.

It seems like they dont know about Diablo.

If they did, they would have made a reaction when they saw Muyoungs fire.

That meant that they were clueless about Diablo.

It seemed like he had no choice but to look for its traces alone.

Muyoung made a short reply.

Im going to stay here for a little while.

Then, he turned around and walked towards the forest.

The flames that were burning in the surrounding instantly returned to Muyoung.

After seeing this, no one was able to say anything regarding Muyoungs reply.

The elves with the golden hair gathered at a huge house.

Their number was about 300.

However, the mood was very serious.

Wouldnt it be an ancient fire dragon? That has at least lived 10,000 years Im certain by looking at the transformation magic it was using.

As one elf asked, the old elder elf replied.

Im not sure. If he is really a dragon, or not. However, as I can feel a similar purity as Shandalton if he was a fire dragon, it is odd why he would attack another fire dragon.

Perhaps its because he is after the same thing the fire dragon is after? As you know the dragons dont normally stick together. They dont go easy with each other just because they are the same species.

However, we dont even know what they are after.

Thats the biggest problem.

That even they themselves didnt know what that was.

If they did, they could prepare for what they knew but because they didnt know, they couldnt help but just fight.

Then, someone had another opinion.

Lets give it to him. Although we dont know what it is, he would be able to find it. And if it is him, wouldnt he help stop other fire dragons?

The elder closed his eyes.

The fire dragons are selfish beings. We dont know when they will make this place a sea of fire.

So, we need to let them know that this isnt a place they should burn down.

How?

By giving them the sense that you are happy at this place. Just until Shandalton comes back if we pretended to serve them

It was a shocking opinion.

The elder grunted as he crossed his arms.

It was basically a choice to select the lesser evil to stop the worse.

The elf persuaded the elder.

We have lasted this long because of Shandaltons blessing and Spring of Light. But, if we continue like this we would lose both. Shandaltons place and the place we have worked on for over a thousand years will be lost. A moment. If we forsake our pride for just really a moment, we can save them both.

I dont think this is a choice I can make on my own.

The elder shook his head in the end.

And then started to speak.

Gather all the elves. We are going to start a vote. We will decide if we are going to serve him or be enemies with him afterwards.

There were about 4,000 golden elves that resided near the Spring of Light.

They started the vote quicker than any other time.

After only half a day, the result was given, and they came to a decision.

The house given to Muyoung was a house made by weaving large trees.

The inside was clean and there was a soft bed and a variety of decorations.

Muyoung first sat on the bed and then touched his Status Viewer.

It was to check his changes so far.

The very first, the achievement effect he earned by absorbing Diablos flames.

Achievement Effect Ruler of Flames (S++, All pure stats +40)

Good.

Muyoung nodded his head.

It was almost impossible to find an item that was greater than an S rank.

The achievement effect was more so.

But, ++ was added to it. This was incomparable to just an S rank.

The fact that it raised its pure stats meant that there was that much meaning.

However, this wasnt the only change.

To check the rest, Muyoung turned his Status Viewer.

Death Lord (Lord class) King Slayer (Lord class) Archangel (Lord class)

Muyoung smiled.
