Episode 205 Altar of Evolution
―The evolution of Fafnir II begins.
Jaehyun held his breath and put Poppy down on the floor.
I tried to follow him back, as if Poppy was unfamiliar, but was blocked by the wall of the magic circle that suddenly rose.
“are you okay. Poppy.”
Jaehyun comforted Papi and smiled.
Only then did the boy sit down and look around with a slightly relaxed expression.
Hwareuk!
White flames from the torches hung on the walls began to surround them.
“Dragon evolution is very tricky. Fafnir II is still a low level, so there shouldn’t be much difficulty, but it will be much more difficult later.”
‘Those who watch’ said that and handed an item to Jaehyun.
“Hold this.”
It was a parchment scroll with runes written on it.
“… … What is this?”
“It is a scroll that allows you to connect the dragon and your soul.”
Jaehyun tilted his head as if he didn’t understand.
“But Poppy is already registered as my pet by the system. Why go through such a cumbersome process?”
“This is because the firepower the pet can produce is completely different. If you and Fafnir II can completely share magical powers, he will become many times stronger.”
Jaehyun nodded.
There was such a story even among summoning-type raiders. The deeper the connection with the summoned monster, the stronger the power.
Among them, I had heard that sometimes the level of summons would go up.
“understood. Then what am I supposed to do?”
“Pour your magic into it. If you do that, the scroll will recognize you and connect your will with the dragon.”
Saying so, ‘The Watcher’ handed Papi a necklace with a rune word engraved on it.
Apparently, that rune word was a token to connect the bond.
After injecting magic into the scroll in silence, Jaehyun waited for a while.
“Then let’s start slowly.”
With the words of ‘the one who watches’.
Strong magic power began to erupt from all over the Altar of Evolution.
Giing… !!
It was a similar feeling to when he obtained Odin’s lost eye in the past.
Jaehyun let out a deep breath as he looked at Papi’s naturally virtuous face.
At that moment, light began to emanate from the scroll in his hand.
―The scroll 《The Pattern of Judaism》 recognizes the user.
―Magic structure update 17%… 33 percent… 67 percent… 100 percent.
―Connection with the summoned beast has been completed.
Along with the voice, Jaehyun could feel a strange magic power running up the back of his hand.
When he rolled up his sleeves and looked at his forearm where he felt a slight pain, there was a new change that was different from before.
‘This… Is it a pattern?’
To be precise, it was a pattern written in runes.
It’s the same look I saw on Scroll and Poppy’s necklace a while ago.
‘The Watcher’ nodded with a satisfied expression.
“Now you and Fafnir II are connected by a bond. It gave me more power.”
Jaehyun immediately looked at Papi after the pattern was engraved.
He was scratching the necklace around his neck with his claws to see if it was uncomfortable.
“no. Papi. It’s a token of our bond, so you’re going to sever it?”
Jaehyun said that with a mischievous expression and stroked Poppy’s head.
Then, the ‘watcher’ opened his mouth.
“Now that the engraving is all over, let’s start evolving in earnest.”
with his words.
The white flame from the altar began to attach to Poppy’s body.
Jaehyun screamed in surprise.
“What is this… … !”
“Okay. It is not the flame that burns life. Quite the contrary.”
“the opposite… Called?”
“Look at him.”
Jaehyun was dubious, but moved his gaze to Papi.
Then amazing things started to happen.
Fire with condensed magical power… … .
“Are you eating?”
Poppy was swallowing white flames. As if it were a special meal (?).
Jaehyun looked at the ‘watcher’ with an incomprehensible expression.
he said with a chuckle.
“White flame increases the dragon’s vitality and amplifies its magical power. It’s precious, so I don’t give it to other races, but… .
If you are the opponent of the prophecy, it is not a waste.”
―Fafnir II’s rank increases by 1.
―Current grade is C.
―Fafnir II learns new skills.

―You have acquired the active skills 《Gigantification》 and 《Dragon Fear》.
―The rating of 《Dragon Breath》 has risen by one level.
―Dragon has entered the growth phase from infancy.
Jaehyun felt proud of the message that came to mind one after another.
It was a rewarding moment to dare to change the destination of the school trip to Japan.
“Well, for now, let’s check the skills later. first.”
Jaehyun asked, raising the corner of his mouth.
“Did I say ‘the watcher’? There is something I want to ask you.”
Jaehyun’s ferocious eyes looked up at the dragon’s huge body.
Soon after, a smile spreads across the lips of the ‘those who watch’.
Jaehyun said in a calm voice.
“Dragon Valley. What is this place?”
It was a question Jaehyun had from the first time he came here.
When I first got Fafnir. The system informed Jaehyun.
[When the dragon dies, it is transferred to the ‘Valley of the Dragon’.
The pet can be resurrected after the waiting time has passed.]
Due to these phrases, Jaehyun had no choice but to question this place itself.
Valley of Dragons.
The real meaning of the place where even dead dragons are resurrected.
Jaehyun was asking about this.
After a long silence passed.
‘The Watcher’ opened his tightly closed mouth.
“The Valley of the Dragon… … .”
* * *
morning of the third day.
The autonomous schedule of the school trip went smoothly.
The members of Circle Nine, including Seo Eana and Kim Yoo-jung, decided to move together.
Jaehyun decided not to come together the day before, so we didn’t get together.
Even at this moment, he was struggling for Poppy’s growth.
… … Of course, no one knew this.
like that. In the middle of a circle tour in a peaceful atmosphere.
Suddenly, Lee Jae-sang raised a sensitive topic.
“Uh uh uh, did you two have fun yesterday?”
A question for Seo Ina.
Lee Jae-sang was asking about her trip to the aquarium with Jae-hyeon yesterday.
However, this was a catastrophic situation for the other astute.
‘That crazy… … !’
Kwon So-yul was the first to pray with both hands together.
No matter how ignorant it is.
Can’t you see the tear marks and swollen face left on Seo Eana’s face?
Ahn Ho-yeon and Kim Yoo-jung also did not look good.
‘please… get over it somehow… !’
Ahn Ho-yeon also joined hands with Kwon So-yul.
However, instead of the cold reply that was expected from Seo Eana, a bright voice returned.
“… … yes. It was fun.”
When she said that, she even gave a small smile.
Ahn Ho-yeon and Kwon So-yul looked at each other for a while and then swallowed.
“Oh that… What. We’re not asking, we’re just asking if you enjoyed the aquarium. He doesn’t mean anything else… … .”
It was gibberish, but Kwon So-yul tried to rectify the situation somehow.
Kim Yoo-jung smiled unconsciously at her appearance.
But that was then.
“… … Actually, you knew everything. I like Jaehyun.”
“Quup! Wow! what, what?”
Ahn Ho-yeon coughed as if he had heard a cough and looked at Seo In-na.
Kwon So-yul had the same reaction. Jaesang Lee only looked around at his colleagues with his eyes wide open.
“So-so, I didn’t know, I didn’t know… … .”
“From my point of view, you are impossible to date for the rest of your life.”
When Kwon So-yul fired at him, Lee Jae-sang quickly became gloomy.
But what surprised me the most was Kim Yoo-jung.
‘I knew, but… I didn’t know you would say this… … .’
It was Seo Eana who was usually shy and didn’t talk much.
But I didn’t expect her to confess that she likes Jaehyun so confidently.
I had vaguely guessed it, but hearing it in person was a different feeling.
When the three of them were flustered, Lee Jae-sang opened his mouth.
“G-G-G-G, did you confess?”
“… … It’s similar.”
Seo Eana replied with a relieved expression.
Lee Jae-sang bowed down, letting out a clumsy groan from Kwon So-yul’s elbow.
At that time, Kim Yoo-jung playfully grabbed Seo In-na’s arm and asked.
“Don’t be too heartbroken. There are better men… … .”
“… … You will hear it soon.”
At that moment, the eyes of the two met.
Kim Yoo-jung’s eyes, which had always been bright, trembled for the first time, and a smile erased from her lips.
Seo Ina was given some strength.
“… answer. It’s just that I haven’t heard it yet.”
Seo In-na’s expression stood out for determination.
Meanwhile, at her bold declaration, Kwon So-yul unknowingly touched his forehead.
‘Ha, what else do you guys still have left?’
* * *
“Dragon Valley. To put it simply, this is the dragon’s grave.”
“Dragon’s Grave?”
At Jaehyun’s question, ‘the one watching’ nodded.
“okay. None of these people here really exist as living dragons. It is just repeating life by magic.”
“Life is repeated by magic… … ? Is that possible?”
Come to think of it, Fafnir also turned into an egg at the last moment and was reborn.
Could this have something to do with it?
Around the time Jaehyun’s thoughts reached that point, ‘the one watching’ opened his mouth again.
“Among the races of the nine worlds, there is magic that only dragons can use. “Rebirth”. This refers to the magic of passing on those memories and being reborn as an egg when you die.”
“again… born?”
“okay. The same goes for Fafnir II you have.”
Jaehyun couldn’t understand right away.
“But then, why does this guy have no memories of the past?”
“That’s because I was penalized by Odin’s curse. In order to be reborn, Fafnir sacrificed his memory.”
Sacrifice your memory
Jaehyun thought over the phrase for a while.
‘Why does he want to help me, even at the cost of his memory? Is it also revenge?’
It was not a question with a clear answer.
I was thinking about it, but suddenly he opened his mouth again.
“This is a great tomb and a cradle. Valley of Dragons. The system calls it that.
We work here to restore and return the reverse summoned dragons. Of course, even if that’s the case, I hope you don’t recklessly drive our people to the battlefield.”
Jaehyun nodded.
I felt like I finally knew something.
After thinking about it for a while, he decided to ask one more question.
“I just got this. Do you know how to cook it?”
What Jaehyun gave was none other than Yamata no Orochi’s tail.
It was an item that compensated for the growth rate when fed to a pet, but Jaehyun had no idea how to cook it.
“Haha, of course. I am the guardian of the valley of the dragon. Cooking like that is ridiculous. If you tell me, I’ll treat you to dragon’s cooking. All dragons are gourmets.”
Then watch and learn.
Having said that, the “watcher” pointed somewhere with his huge claws.
The place he pointed to was a restaurant.
There was a table with a surprisingly large plate and gold cutlery.
Jaehyun looked at the ‘watcher’ entering the kitchen as if he was absurd.
‘Cooking with that size doesn’t suit you? Something’s breaking… Is that a dragon?’
He thought so, but he didn’t express it outwardly.
It was just that he was tired from the battle. He offered to cook for me, but there was no reason to refuse.
Jaehyun sat down and waited for a while with an expectant look on his face.
about 30 minutes later.
Jaehyun vomited after eating the food the dragon gave him.
It was a familiar taste of hell.
At that moment, a person clearly appeared in Jaehyun’s mind.
“… … Kim Yoo-jung?”
