< Dragons and Dragons (1) >
A neat and tidy garden, neatly maintained.
In that small pavilion, two women were sitting facing each other with a tea table in the middle.
“···Red Dragon, is that you?”
One of them, a woman with long blue hair tied up neatly, put down the teacup in her hand and opened her mouth with a small sigh.
“What are you talking about?”
“Don’t act like a fool. Do you think it’s a coincidence that Dool is there right now?”
“Well, how would I know what that guy is thinking and living like?”
“Red Dragon.”
The red-haired woman sitting across from her frowned and clicked her tongue slightly at the calm questioning.
The person who had been quietly looking at her with a reaction that was practically no different from agreement took a deep breath and shook his head again.
“Why is that? You know that, right? This isn’t just for our Geumodo, it’s for the whole world. He’s going to be the key to that.”
“That’s why. We can’t proceed with such an important matter based solely on unproven evidence. This is the minimum verification required for that.”
“Verification… This is the will of the Dragon God himself. You know that too….”
Boom!
Her calm words were interrupted by the sound of the tea table smashing.
A sudden silence.
The Red Dragon opened his mouth calmly, nonchalantly pushing aside the scattered remains of the statue.
“Yongsin… Yes, that’s the Dragon God. The Dragon God who never paid any attention to the world as it was and the countless deaths of our people to maintain the collapsed balance, but now he’s come out and said a few words as if he were doing a good deed.”
“···That’s not all. The Dragon God has been looking for ‘dragon children’ for a long time···”
“Ha! A dragon’s child. What a funny expression. It’s not a child, it’s a sacrifice. Or does the Dragon God have a hobby of eating his own children? That’s truly amazing.”
“Sarin!”
“Stop. Don’t call me by that name. I’m the Red Dragon now. You’re the Blue Dragon.”
At those firm words, the blue-haired woman, Cheongryong, closed her eyes tightly.
A name representing each clan.
That was only permitted to representatives of that clan.
It was also the name they inherited now that all those above them had died.
“···Yes, Red Dragon. In any case, I can’t just sit by and watch the conflict escalate. I already sent people to stop the fight, so you know that.”
“It doesn’t matter. There’s no point in making a fuss for no reason. Well, Dool is a pretty useful guy, so just the fact that I was able to hold my own against him is to some extent···?”
The Red Dragon, who had been speaking calmly, stopped midway.
The blue dragon, who had been closed by the unnatural silence, opened his eyes and tilted his head at her.
“Red Dragon?”
“······.”
No answer to her question.
There was an inexplicable sense of bewilderment in his gaze, which seemed to be looking into the distance.
The blue dragon, who noticed where she was looking, immediately moved his consciousness and looked elsewhere.
The entrance to the island where a lot of commotion is taking place right now.
To the place where her invited visitors and the troublemaker of the underworld, Dool, are located.
‘···what?’
The first thing that caught my eye was his sturdy back, covered in dense muscle.
She momentarily judged that the enlargement setting of her ‘eyes’ was wrong, so she adjusted it without thinking much…
Suddenly I realized that wasn’t the problem.
That would be the case, because the surrounding scenery she saw along the way was exactly the size she had initially thought.
Just one person.
Except for the main character of the huge ramp that first filled her field of vision.
“What is that···”
At that moment, the Red Dragon’s empty voice passed by her ears.
However, she was speechless at the sight unfolding before her eyes and could not respond to those words.
Strictly speaking, he wasn’t the only one there who was big.
The being that faced him, Dool, who had a familiar appearance to the Blue Dragon, also had a large build.
However, the structure was very different from what was initially expected.
Kwaaang—!
What you see there is.
It was a scene where a large, adult male was mercilessly grabbing a fluffy figure that only came close to his pubic area.
‘No, if you look closely, it’s not that one-sided.’
But because the weight difference was so significant, Do-ol’s resistance felt like nothing more than a pitiful gesture.
It is the very definition of violence that is visually arresting and overwhelming!
The blue dragon, who was blankly staring at it, muttered without realizing it.
“···If we want to stop that, we’ll have to send more children.”
“Hmm···.”
Naturally, there was no disagreement.
***
“Kuaaaa—! I’ll kill you!”
“Stop it! Stop there!”
“Hey, hey, back off! Grab me!”
“Spread out your formation!”
The fight was extinguished before it could escalate further due to the sudden incursion of these people.
And in the midst of the chaotic situation where the excited Dool was forcibly calmed down, Harley obediently stepped back and slowly reduced her body size to her original size.

‘Well, come to think of it, it’s kind of strange that I only came now.’
This is their home base and Harley is an invited guest.
If things were normal, there shouldn’t be any fighting in the first place.
‘Either the accident was caused by Dool’s impulsive actions and we were unable to respond quickly, or···.’
Their superiors tacitly encouraged and tolerated them.
But whatever his intentions, he actually had no major complaints.
Thanks to the other side taking the initiative to fight—.
Gulp, gulp— gulp!
Because Harley was also able to have a satisfying ‘bite’.
‘It was a good decision to increase the size.’
He returned to his original size without realizing it, nodded happily while patting his hungry stomach.
In fact, that was the reason why Dool was still so angry.
The size difference was so great that just one bite to the shoulder nearly tore off the bastard’s thick arm.
Thanks to the excellent regenerative powers of a flesh-type monster, he was soon restored, but Harley’s “Gluttony” is a supernatural ability that even consumes the mystery contained within.
The recovery process must have consumed a lot of energy.
‘It’s none of my business, but if those monsters play a game together, they might end up biting each other. Yeah!’
Actually, it’s over at this level, isn’t it?
The most certain and efficient way would be to obtain the internal elixir, which is no different from the magic stones of the monsters, but since that was not possible right away, collecting new genes was sufficient for now.
He began to calmly observe the “ultimate evolved life form” that had been responding for the first time in a long while, after patting his own stomach.
‘Interesting. The monsters of the Ganghwan world are definitely a type I’ve never encountered before. They seem like a different race, but also like monsters. They also have a slight sense of spirits…’
Another notable difference was that, unlike monsters that had developed cells all the way to the ends to maximize their vitality, the energy circulation passages supplied from the center were prominent.
Perhaps this is the basis of the martial arts system that only monsters use in place of human bloodlines.
‘I think I can complete this quicker.’
He twisted his lips as he felt the cells in his body evolving into a form better suited to the circulation of energy.
Isn’t the exchange of diverse civilizations and ecologies the shortcut to evolution?
When he was smiling so contentedly and clenching his fists.
“Excuse me, Madman? Are you hurt anywhere?”
While the fight was in full swing, Cheong-gwan, who had been staying far away, approached and spoke cautiously.
“Of course! I feel really refreshed and happy after sweating a little! Hahahaha!”
“Phew, that’s a relief. That’s why I say that···.”
He sighed in relief at Harley’s casual attitude and got straight to the point.
I felt like I couldn’t stand being with that guy any longer because I would die from exile.
“If it’s okay with you, can I take you to the Blue Dragon right now? He wants to formally apologize for this incident.”
The message that came from his superiors was a very good excuse for him.
I can quickly finish my work and get away from the eye of the storm.
***
A world located in a state separate from the continent ruled by humans.
The Geumodo Island located there was a group of various monsters.
‘In fact, in this world, the term ‘monster’ is more of a general term for all species other than humans.’
That’s because it included not only nine-tailed foxes and goblins, but also spirit beasts like giraffes and haetae.
And the being at the top of all these monsters was the dragon.
“···It’s creepy.”
One of them was the red-haired woman who was now standing in front of Harley and looking at him with frowning eyes.
Immediately after hearing the Blue Dragon’s apology for the commotion at the place they arrived at following the guidance of the Qingguan, the Red Dragon, who was sitting proudly next to him, glared at Harley fiercely with his red reptile eyes shining.
As if she could see right through his mind.
and-.
“You’re a dragon slayer.”
From the moment they first met, the subtle expression in her eyes that had been looking at him gradually took on a clear hostility.
On top of that, there was a strange feeling of disappointment.
“···Red Dragon.”
“I know, Cheongryong. But isn’t this a different story?”
“But he···.”
“Yes, I acknowledge the power, but that’s as far as it goes. It would be better to be a normal human. What can you do when you’re not even allowed to enter the Dragon God Hall in the first place? Wasn’t this an impossible condition from the start?”
“ha-.”
“This is ridiculous. I thought it might be. I thought that the dragon god had at least a little bit of conscience! But the key guy is a monster that eats dragons and takes their shells? Are you kidding me?”
The blue-haired woman, Cheongryong, could not continue speaking and sighed as she closed her eyes tightly, while the Red Dragon continued to spew out his fierce anger.
As if I had been betrayed by something.
The surrounding energy stirred with that emotion, and an uncomfortable atmosphere enveloped the room.
‘What? Why are they like that?’
Of course, Harley didn’t care about any of that.
It seemed like there was some kind of complicated story behind it, but when you already have so much to think about, who cares about other people’s circumstances?
“Hmph!”
He crossed his arms and looked at them with a sullen expression, snorting and cracking his neck rudely.
“Well, you two should talk about this later when you’re alone. What are you doing here, calling over a busy guest?”
“What···?”
The Red Dragon, who had been expressing his anger at him, looked back with a distorted expression, but Harley continued speaking calmly without even batting an eyelash.
“I’m already busy, so do you think I came all the way here for nothing? So let’s get to the point quickly.”
“her!”
At that bold request, not only the Red Dragon but also the Blue Dragon looked at him with bewildered eyes.
I wonder what on earth makes him come out like that.
But Harley, who always welcomed a fight, just held her head up stiffly and met their gaze.
“···I’m sorry, but that’s the end of the story. It’s true that I called you first, so I’ll allow you to stay for a few days. Take some time to sightsee and then leave. I’ll bring you a gift when you do. But that’s all.”
The Red Dragon, who had been quietly looking at Harley, opened his mouth in a much more relaxed tone.
Even the blue dragon, who seemed to be discouraged and slumped his shoulders next to him, didn’t say anything.
When she actually met him in person, it seemed like her opinion wasn’t much different from Jeokryong’s.
“Use it.”
Harley frowned at their subtle reactions and scratched the back of her head to collect her thoughts.
‘I heard it roughly, but it seems like the problem is that I ate a dragon and forcibly took on its karma?’
In fact, the Archmage in Outerica recognized it at a glance.
Up until then, there had been no particular problems as long as we pretended to tolerate it, but something seemed different here.
‘Oh, come to think of it, I never encountered a real dragon in Outerica.’
The only dragon he knew, Shurihartgen, was also locked in the lair, observing the outside world only with magic.
The situation is probably not much different for the other dragons that remain now.
What was more surprising was that such karma was applied even though they were in different dimensions.
Aren’t dragons and dragonflies different species to begin with?
‘No. There are so many similar species in each dimension, including humans.’
When these gods create their creatures, it seems they share a source, and often times, unique elements pop out.
It wouldn’t be strange if there were some connection between dragons and dragons.
‘···Should I just throw it all away?’
At this point, everything started to become a nuisance.
I don’t know what they want, but aren’t we just here to gather information?
We have only been obediently following their requests so far in order to receive their active cooperation, but if we were to force a military suppression, it would not be impossible for us to get what we want.
‘Yes. I’m working so hard to restore the Ganghwan system, so how long should I just watch? After I do it first…’
As my thoughts flowed to such extremes, one side of my head gradually became stained with violence.
Suddenly.
Another thought crossed my mind.
‘Wait a minute, so the problem is that Harley ate the dragon?’
They want something from this side.
But Harley didn’t meet that requirement.
Then what if someone who can meet the conditions… no, who goes beyond that and perfectly matches their tastes, steps forward instead?
‘There’s nothing to lose anyway. Just one more time.’
The worry didn’t last long.
***
“her?”
The red dragon opened its mouth blankly.
“ah···.”
The blue dragon was also dumbfounded.
Where their eyes are directed.
In front of Harley, who was nodding happily with her arms crossed.
“Ehehe—.”
The blonde boy, who seemed embarrassed by the attention focused on him, twisted his body and smiled harmlessly while twirl-ing his hair with his small fingers.
““···Yellow Dragon?”
It was the moment when Horus, the young gold dragon of Auterica, came to the Jianghuan world to study early.
