Wow! What else did our Hoyeol do this time?

After running away from home for 15 days, he became a celebrity

(Dancing puppy emoticon)

Sisters Why do you guys just react like that???

Huh.

Lee Yerim let out a hollow laugh.

The title floating on the top right!!!!! Look at that!!!

Top right? I have a hard time seeing small letters these days

Yerim, why are you hurting the oldest sister this way

No, were a year or two apart at most, what are you saying??

It couldnt be helped.

Tap tap.

She kindly transcribed the text in the capture.

Dragon Lord, Dark Dragon Lee Hoyeol. Shout out to the world.

Is that the title of the broadcast?

Yes

(Hand clapping seal emoticon)

No, are you just going to be happy about this?!!

Being proud and happy about Hoyeol.

Werent Mom and Dad and the whole world enough for that?

Some people needed to make fun of him to balance it.

She typed, undaunted by the unwanted reactions.

-DarkDraGon

Isnt it great to be a dragon?

Right~? Just hearing the name, it sounds amazing~

Ha

They were only one or two years apart.

She didnt expect that she would feel a generation gap with her sisters in her 30s.

How could they say that such a moniker was cool?!

Sisters, you really dont remember???

(Doubtful seal emoticon)

When Hoyeol was young

We used to tease him a lot

When did I?

Yerim still does it to this day

Anyway is it a story from a long time ago?

No, it was when the maknae was in middle school

Lee Yerim remembered it vaguely.

Hoyeols second year of middle school.

But Lee Eunhye and Lee Jiyoon didnt remember.

Of course.

If Hoyeol was in the second year of middle school

It was when we were in high school?

Thats when we didnt even have time to see each other

(Soul coming out of the mouth emoji)

Now that she thought about it, that was true.

They were four siblings born in different years.

Unnies must be adjusting to high school.

Also, she must have been busy putting all her effort into concealing her emotions about her declining force. She was the only one who could say that she had watched Hoyeol during his middle school years.

I need to stop drinking.

She was the only one whose memory had deteriorated due to frequent drinking and depravity!

Lee Yerim sighed.

All right, then.

Whatever, Im not gonna talk

What do you mean? You should get ready

-Get ready? Get ready to tease him?

What? We should at least have a celebration party

Party? Even without that, I wanted to see Mom

Ring!

Our Arang is excited She doesnt even snuggle up to me, but she likes to hug Hoyeol. Auntie is already upset, Arang

Sigh

The Lee family is really harmonious.

It was a good thing, so she should just change her mindset.

Really, why is it so important to tease him?

Actually, she just gave up because she couldnt remember.

Ill let you go for now, our maknae.

Lee Yerim pretended to give up like an adult and laughed.

Then, she tapped the screen one last time.

Indeed.

The number of participants in this group chat room.

There were a total of 4 of them, including the maknae, Hoyeol.

Did you hear that, Hoyeol? If we have time, lets meet face-to-face ~

*

Are you crazy?

Since there was only one missed call from the nemesis, I thought she had grown up a bit. She was really making things bigger in the group chat!

I knew it, she still remembers!

To think that she would mention those days to No. 1 and No. 2.

I, Lee Hoyeol, was in serious trouble.

I thought about erasing everyones memories with magic.

But it was really just my impulsive wish.

What I said was the opposite of my feelings.

Im glad you look calm, noonims.

Hey, Grandfel.

I dont know about Mom and Dad.

But you shouldnt make such a vague expression when you think of your blood relatives.

Especially when you think about No.3, the nemesis!

You speak informally to the Emperor and to the dragons who have lived for eternity. Why do you always call sisters with extreme honorifics noonims?

I need to visit them.

Thanks to that, I couldnt get rid of these goosebumps!

But when did Grandfels formality ever take my situation into consideration?

In the end, I sent a reply in a serious tone.

Ill see you after taking a break.

To think that I could avoid the worst without going against my pride.

In times like these, the excessive burdens I took on sometimes could be helpful

I looked at the photo one last time and muttered.

Im glad youre growing up great.

The only thing I and Grandfel could agree on was the thoughts of Arang, my niece. She really grew bigger every time I saw her This uncle is already worried, Arang.

I wonder if you might understand what I mean.

As I moved my finger, the previous picture appeared.

It was a TV screen taken with a camera.

To be exact, it was the title of a program about me.

[Dragon Lord, Dark Dragon Lee Hoyeol. Shout out to the world]

Look at the exaggeration.

The process of the Dark Dragon becoming a dragon lord.

The process of how this guys big words become a reality!

Has the world heard about it?

The VBC station, was it?

Ill remember your name!

Thanks to the grandiose confirmation and kill shot.

With Grandfels pride, it was impossible to ignore it.

In the end, I end up saying it with my own mouth.

Present time.

The lobby of the Mage Tower and in front of the Golden Palace of Yusra.

There was a crowd of reporters waiting for me. I originally planned to head straight to Zero Mountain after the Holy War Allied Force meeting.

Level up.

Attack 100,000 caves.

Encounter Union.

In order to kill three birds with one stone, I couldnt waste any more time. To be honest. I wanted to manifest a portal and moved to Zero Mountain, not giving a damn about the reporters.

Then I wont have to hesitate anymore.

Tap tap

As you could see, my proud steps were heading towards the main gate of the Golden Palace.

I should organize my thoughts while tidying up my clothes.

Yes, Hoyeol.

You cant avoid it.

If you cant even enjoy it

Lets think about it as rationally as possible.

I, who materialized [Legend, Dark Dragon Lee Hoyeol], was well aware of it.

The effect of [Legend] was not proportional to my strength. The degree of effect varied depending on how widely that [legend] resonates and what kind of power it had.

Just like how it was at Antonium.

Lets just think of my shame and the growth of [legend] separately.

The reporters.

Making a fuss about me being the Dark Dragon in front of cameras to be sent around the world.

It would be a truly terrible experience.

To put it simply

The more terrible it is, the stronger my legend becomes.

This time, it was not a rationalization to protect myLee Hoyeolsdignity.

It was an undeniable fact.

Thinking of it like that eased some of my mental burden.

No, it would be more accurate to say Id resigned to it.

Yes, just say whatever you want, my big mouth.

A knight of the Lionheart.

Ive been waiting for you, Commander.

Enoch bowed his head to me.

If you tell me, I will open the door.

Buzz

The sounds of the crowd were ringing through the thick door.

I could feel it even without checking how many people had gathered.

But now that I had made up my mind, I didnt hesitate.

I spoke.

I leave it to you.

Screech!

Enoch bowed his head again and the door opened.

There was no cheering.

Of course.

Because I unintentionally disciplined them too

Thanks to my forced injection of formality.

I was able to take steps in quiet silence.

Not only the Arcana Continent, now the reality.

It was a huge situation that no one had ever experienced before.

If it was also for my sake, Id play along.

No, I would take it one step further and swallow it up.

If this was also the weight given to me, I had no choice but to carry it with pride.

I opened my mouth.

You dont have to be afraid.

Everyones eyes were focused on me.

Dark Dragon.

At the words that came out of my mouth, the crowd stirred for a moment.

But who was Grandfel?

A being who always exceeded everyones expectations.

He too is just a part of me.

!!!

How many times more exaggeration could be added with just one word?

I acknowledged the great performance of Grandfels style of speaking once again.

At the same time, I was seriously worried about the future.

What kind of being would I become when this press conference was over?

*

There were a total of 5 top executives responsible for Union.

They were called the five stars of the world and were known as the Five Stars. However, that information was naturally a secret to the outside world, and not even many people within Union knew about it.

Even the Five Stars didnt know who was the other Five Stars.

But it was all part of Liu Jinchuns plan.

All he needed was their loyalty to him as a monarch.

There was no close relationship between the Five Stars.

Hadnt it been repeated countless times in the history of great countries?

The history of the kings head being cut off by the rebellion caused by his subjects.

A woman in a rabbit mask.

Five Star, Yoo Jioh looked at the other person.

Looking at the red insignia, they were a fellow member of Union.

What are you doing here?

However, this was not a scheduled meeting.

Union was a huge guild that surpassed other large guilds.

The number of guild members was more than twice of the members of the Shining and Gaon Inazuma Berserker Alliance, which were classified as large guilds. So Union operated following strict rules.

This area is under Yoo Jioh-nims jurisdiction.

Yoo Jioh looked at the number of opponents.

There were less than ten of them.

In terms of power, its not a Five Star.

Tsk, what kind of battle of nerves was this between allies

Sometimes Yoo Jioh felt as detached as she did now.

She just persevered, saying that the inefficient process was also for the shake of the lord.

So she wondered.

But why are you covering your face?

There was no rule that only the Five Stars had to cover their faces.

However, except for the Five Stars who needed to be careful of each other, no one else had any reason to cover their faces. As you could see now, it created unnecessary suspicion.

Ive never seen that mask before.

It was neither a pig mask nor a wolf mask, which were presumed to be the Five Stars.

Yoo Jioh shrugged her shoulders.

What could it be

No way, were they the people impersonating the Five Stars?

I did hear that. There are people inside who are selling Five Stars reputation by touting Five Stars unknown characteristics. I didnt know it was real, but arent you brave?

Yu Jioh was dissatisfied with the structure of Union.

But she understood and accepted it.

Yes, it was all because the Master was so merciful.

Even if they were a high-rank, a low-rank, or even a supernova.

He embraced all the mediocre people who had nowhere to go.

So what she had to do with the Five Stars was simple.

Its my responsibility to take care of it before he blames himself.

One hundred.

Sss!

Yoo Jiohs leash surrounded about ten opponents.

At this point, did they notice it and stiffen up?

The fact that she was not an impersonator like them.

That she was the star of the world.

Yoo Jioh examined the broken fingernails and said.

Im sorry, but I dont intend to let you off if you beg me.

Even if it was the real Five Stars, she had no intention of letting them go.

Yoo Jioh was confident.

All she needed to do was replace Masters hands and feet.

Other stars were just obstacles that came between her and Master.

She just persevered all this time because she had no justification.

Dont think this is unfair. Havent I said it before entering Zero Mountain? Only Master can set foot in my territory.

Indeed.

The thing that stretched out like a spiders web was not an area, but a trap.

Whether it was Five Stars or some rascals pretending to be Five Stars.

Once you got caught in the trap, youd never escape it.

Yoo Jioh smiled.

Master will understand my loyalty.

Sss!

Yoo Jiohs special leash accelerated even more.

Until it was just a hairs breadth away.

The moment it got close to the enemy.

She heard a calm voice.

Look. Didnt I tell you?

Its true. I should just believe what you say.

Youre too proud just for getting one right, old man

Yoo Jioh doubted her ears.

What were they talking about now?

Then she doubted her eyes.

Jingle!

They exchanged money in this situation? Anyone could tell. They were settling the results of a bet. She didnt know what the bet was about, but this was the moment right before they lost their life.

The person who was called the old man laughed.

Its a common tactic. Disturbing the internal hierarchy of an organization. See, isnt it easier to manage the organization now? Its a scene where everyone thinks they are the real executives, competing against each other, and trying to prove their loyalty.

That bastard must have gone senile.

No matter how she looked at it, he was talking about her.

But that was all.

Under the rabbit mask, Yoo Jioh gritted her teeth and said.

Youre just saying whatever you want to escape the situation.

Sk

This time something huge moved.

Had they been squatting all this time?

A large figure three or four heads taller than an ordinary person came into view.

Stop showing off, old man. Keep on the lookout

Theres no eye in Zero Mountain, keheh.

Thats true, too.

Hahaha. This will be one more mask.

Thud.

Thud.

Then he threw something to the ground.

Yoo Jioh was shocked when she confirmed the identity of the object.

It really was a mask.

Pig, wolf.?

It was the masks of the two people who she guessed to be Five Stars.

They took off Five Stars masks

They did that and survived?

She could only think of one possibility.

Dead? Two of the Five Stars?

By the time she realized something was wrong, it was already too late.

A cold voice followed.

Union, was it? Its not an organization for members. Its not a mutually beneficial organization like ours. No need to look far, you can see that from the useless play on the hierarchy. Isnt that right, old man?

Of course.

Its an organization for only one leader.

!

Yoo Jioh did not refute.

Because they were absolutely right.

But at the same time, she got goosebumps.

It is not easy to see through us from the outside.

Even if a spy entered inside.

Master had kept that possibility in mind.

No one could have been able to easily see through it.

But, these people were different.

She heard a drowsy voice.

Theres nothing to be surprised about. Actually, this is our specialty, though its annoying.

Their specialty?

Infiltration, manipulation, disruption, violence, intimidation, extortion. And murder.

!!!

Thanks to that, I can see it clearly.

At that moment, Yoo Jioh thought of Union and Liu Jinchun before she thought of her own life. They infiltrated the inside and toppled two of the Five Stars, then calmly confessed everything.

She was certain.

They were a clear threat to Master.

There are not many people who can threaten Master.

Rox?

No, Shining had long since fallen at Unions feet.

Then there was only one option left.

Until now.

The man who caused an uproar in the world, the Dark Dragon.

Yoo Jioh shouted with hostility.

Lee Hoyeol!!

However, a colder voice responded.Ch𝒆ck out l𝒂t𝒆st 𝒏𝒐v𝒆l𝒔 on nov𝒆lbin(.)c𝒐m

As if they were looking in the mirror and talking to it.

The voice was self-mocking.

Dont put his name together with trash like us.

At the same time.

About ten shadows moved.

No, to be precise, there were nine of them.

Sk

A crow mask was revealed beneath the shadow.

Clink

One of the masks said, loading the crossbow.

We are not as merciful as he is.
