Chapter 288: Dragon’s Land – 2
Ian asked Karceus.
‘Karceus, you don’t have any mories of your past life, right?’
At this question from Ian, Karceus bend his head and answered after contemplating for a while.
“That is certainly true, my mories are being lost. But I seem to have the basic knowledge I need as I’m a dragon.”
And at these words, Ian nodded his head and asked once again,
“So do you know what kind of a place this Dragon’s Altar is?”
Karceus replied,
“I know. The Dragon’s Altar is…”
Karceus stopped for a mont and then spoke again,
“A place where dragons like can present a special sacrifice to the Dragon God and gain new powers. If a non-dragon being places a sacrifice for the Dragon God, the god will present one wish to them and I seem to know why the Cintamani is at such a place.”
“Huh…?”
Karceus chuckled looking at the strange face that Ian made.
“Maybe a certain soone gave the Dragon God the Cintamani as a sacrifice in exchange for sothing. Maybe that soone isn’t a dragon, and the Cintamani is a special item that can’t be granted to anyone other than a dragon.”
Ian turned his head around.
The words of Karceus wasn’t so hard to understand.
However, Kaka ho was listening to the conversation between these two had a very dark expression.
“If Karceus words are indeed right then… it will be very difficult for us, Master.”
“Huh?”
“If Cintamani was sacrificed to the Dragon God, then it will be hidden sowhere deep inside the Dragon’s Altar. To find it you will have to sneak around… and finding treasures in such deep places… have their own share of risk associated.”
Karceus nodded his head.
“Kaka is right master. There is a chance of losing your life.”
Ian frowned and asked,
“Is there no other way? To ask the Dragon god to borrow it…”
Kaka spoke sarcastically,
“Don’t spew nonsense master. The mont Bbookbbook uses the Cintamani, it will disappear… how do you plan on borrowing it by then?”
“The borrowed money is usually used you know…”
“You plan on paying it back?”
“…”
Ian was lost in thoughts for a mont, and Kaka’s words went on.
“Now we have two choices master.”
“Two?”
“Yes.”
“What are they? Go on.”
Kaka who was in front of Ian’s eyes continued to speak.
“First, you give up on the Cintamani, then leave the Cintamani; take the Soldiers of the Earth and head back. Maybe it will give us a victory in the Dinsional War. There isn’t only one Cintamani in the whole universe, so we wait for the next opportunity.”
“Hmm… the second?”
Kaka’s words imdiately followed.
“Secondly, the obvious, letting go of your life while taking the Cintamani. It is hard to succeed in this option; and even if you manage to get it, you’ll buy the wrath of the Dragon God.”
“So what if I get the wrath of the Dragon God?”
This ti it was Karceus who spoke,
“I’ll tell you about this part.”
Kaka and Ian both turned their gazes in the direction of Karceus; he started to speak,
“The Dragon’s Altar is guarded by four guardians that the Dragon God specifically sends. Maybe, they will follow their master.”
“Guardian?”
“Yes. They appear like dragons, and each possesses a power which is equal to a dragon. I don’t know about their intelligence, but If I speak about the power, each one of it is stronger than , and they didn’t even reach their limit.”
“Keu…”
Ian had a mont of conflict.
This was because it would be a terrible idea to deal with the guardians who are much more powerful than Karceus.
There could be a chance if both Kaizer and Yankun both were with Ian, but they weren’t in the current situation.
This was because he hadn’t taken Yankun and Kaizer when entering the Test of Gateway, and without bringing his trails Ian imdiately moved to the Land of Dragon’s from the magic circle in Hwangseong.
‘What should I do, should I just give up…?’
At that ti, Karceus opened his mouth once again.
“But don’t worry about that part.”
“Um…? Why so?”
At that brief question from Ian, Karceus looked at Bbookbbook and answered.
“If you don’t get the Cinamani, then you’ll be dead at, but if you do manage to successfully acquire the Cintamani… Then Bbookbbook will beco a true Abyss Dragon.”
“Huh…?”
Ian looked at Bbook, Bbookbbook also turned his head and looked at Ian.
“Bbook?”
And Karceus words continued.
“Abyss Dragon… they are not normal dragons. It can be said that they possess all the powers… of the dragons, and if an Abyss Dragon is added to the fight, then we can manage the four guardians of the Dragon God.”
Ian looked at Bbookbbook with longing eyes.
‘Since Bbookbbook is a legendary… if it becos a true Abyss Dragon, then it will beco a myth class.’
The word ‘myth class’ was enough to stir Ian’s heart.
‘Yes, since there is a trendous gap between a hero class and a legendary class; having a myth class would be on a whole different level.’
And so far Ian’s choice had been settled.
And now he wanted to evolve Bbookbbook much more quickly.
Ian looked at Karceus and asked,
“But Karceus, the guardians, aren’t they the beings who will possess the powers of the Dragon God?”
Both Kaka and Karceus looked at Ian with an absurd expression.
And Kaka spoke,
“Master, the existence of God can’t get involved with the creature of this world.”
“Why?”
“If they had such enormous power to get involved in the worldly affairs… all the balance of the dinsional worlds would have been a ss. And if God’s involvent was possible, my master wouldn’t be having such a hard ti.”
“You an?”
“The five God who rules the dinsions wouldn’t have let the invasion begin on the Dinsion world. With their power, they would be able to stop the invasion very easily. But if they chose to interfere, then the devils also won’t stay still. All hell will break loose.”
“Hm… That is true.”
Ian who managed to understand the situation nodded his head to Kaka and confird the decision—Kaka once again asked Ian.
“What are you going to do Master?”
Ian smiled and answered,
“Don’t you already know the answer?”
Karceus laughed and touched the sword.
He liked to deal with different kinds of weapons each ti when he was polymorphed into a humanoid.
“This is why I like you master. Going head-on against a powerful enemy, this makes my heart race.”
At these words from Karceus—Kaka spoke sarcastically,
“But I thought you hated hunting with our master.”
Karceus answered imdiately,
“No! the thing I hate is going against the sa ones. Its always fun to et new and powerful enemies to battle. It is just that… simple is boring.”
Looking at the restless Karceus—Ian tapped the back of his neck and spoke in a low tone,
“Well… should we get a glimpse of the Cintamani?”
Ian shook his hands and then looked at the map.
It was the ti to find the route to sneak into the Dragon’s Altar.
* * *
Na Ji-chan, who was in the monitoring room had monitored the ga for 3 days and was preparing a report on balance.
When he wasn’t ordered to do a night shift, he stayed back from the second day.
The reason for that wasn’t his devotion to the given task.
It was because monitoring the ga was so much fun.
“This so nice but can’t I do anything else?”
Na Ji-chan was needed to create a balance report, so he was needed to monitor al least ten rankers evenly.
But for the past ten hours, his eyes had been stuck on a monitor that was showing Ian.
“Oho, those idiots. Those QA team were stupid to approach Ian…”
From the mont that Ian had killed the five demons, until the mont Ian had arrived at the Dragon’s Altar, he didn’t miss a single mont.
And when Ian managed to enter the Dragon’s Land, Na Ji-chan had felt much more excited.
“What now? Is this crazy bas*ard going to enter the Dragon’s Altar?”
The original plan of the planning team was to put a few human users along with the Asmodians into the Maurya Empire.
And the quest related to the Cintamani was going to be a different chapter.
It was supposed to be an exclusive quest for a summoner to make an Abyss Dragon after achieving the Cintamani, it wasn’t a quest that was supposed to be cleared that soon.
According to the Kailan scenario; once the true Abyss Dragon made its appearance, the Dinsional war would co to an end.
Na Ji-chan who was chewing the salted dry squid, grinned.
“Can Ian really be able to get the Cintamani? Then the planning team will get a real beating.”
The war between the humans and the Asmodians—it was a scenario that was needed to go on for at least half-year.
If the true Abyss Dragon decided to make an appearance by then, Ian would bring the end of the war.
All the staff of the planning and developnt team at the LB didn’t know that they were going to give up on their hos for a month.
Na Ji-chan was like a third party waiting for the situation that would co.
But then his phone rang.
A ssage from Kim Yee-hwan had co.
[Kim Daeri: Wrote the report well? How’s the balance?]
Na Ji-chan laughed at the ssage that he saw.
[Na Ji-chan: Balanced. The planning team put a lot of effort to make this balance.]
Imdiately the reply for the ssage had co.
[Kim Daeri: oh… that was obvious, isn’t it? Is the current plan alright?]
Na Ji-chan bent his head and sent a reply.
[Na Ji-chan: If Ian can get assassinated, I think the balance will co back imdiately. Till then, real balance will co to an end.]
[Kim Daeri: …]
Another ssage didn’t co from Kim Daeri.
And Na Ji-chan’s eyes went back to the monitor.
‘It is not that the ga balance has been lost, he is just one crazy bas*ard.’
The report had been completed on the first day itself.
It had beco aningless to keep Ian included in the balance reports.
If Ian was the only one strong enough, and the Asmodians were much stronger, then maybe now would be the ti for the human users to fold their gas.
That was why Na Ji-chan had ti to watch Ian’s ga for the past days.
Shhk-
Na Ji-chan took out a bag of potato chips and started to munch on them and spoke in a low whisper,
“I still feel like this is going to get much more interesting… just one variable maker is needed for the planning team to have so fun.”
Without any nervousness about the other mbers of the planning team hearing it, Na Ji-chan went back to focusing on Ian’s video.
