Episode 139
Ixia (2)
“hometown?”
<Yes. It’s a place called ‘Listhenia’ in Universe 11. It’s been a very long time.>
“okay? “Then it’s a little better.”
I was wondering if I should just wait for the space battle cooldown, but I felt a little more at ease. Jeong-do glanced around once again.
An endless horizon.
It was a grassland full of short grass, without any trees. I asked Ixia how embarrassed I was.
“Ixia. “Do you know where this is?”
<Sorry. Even though this is my hometown, I don’t have the entire geography memorized. Besides, it’s been a long time since I left here.>
“I guess so.”
It wasn’t something I had particularly expected. Even if you are from Earth, do you think you know everything about Earth’s topography? The same goes for Ixia. It was rather amazing to be able to figure out where this was by looking at such an open grassland.
“The dungeon map is useless now.”
The dungeon map was a very useful skill, but it was necessary to assimilate the map in order to explore the terrain. Of course, there was no way to find a map of the place where they were taken in an unexpected accident.
“But it’s been a long time?”
Come to think of it, I still didn’t know Ixia’s age. No, it should be age, right? Model year? Or what year?
When Do-do brought up the topic, Ixia responded immediately without leaving any room for comment.
<Excuse me! Age is a secret!>
“… okay. okay.”
It seems that Iksaah’s girlish sensibility did not allow her to reveal her age.
As I was contemplating what to do from now until the cooldown expires, Ixia spoke.
<Hey, master? If you don’t have any plans, how about going looking for my sisters?>
“ah! Right. “That will work.”
Two Ixia discovered on Earth.
And I got one from the dwarves’ dungeon.
The more Ixia’s sisters were collected, the more rapidly the performance improved. I only collected three of them, and although powers such as dimensional travel were possible, I had no idea what kind of miracle would happen once they were completed. It was well worth taking the time to collect.
‘If this continues, I’ll have to think about returning to Earth right away.’
It didn’t seem like all of Ixia’s parts could be collected here, but it was clear that it was the universe with the highest probability of having Ixia’s parts. I had to make sure to grab the opportunity when it came.
‘And the Elyos should be careful too.’
The notification window that appeared before being forcibly transferred said that it would move to ‘where the Elyos are.’ In other words, it means that there are Elyos in Ixia’s hometown.
“no way. “Has your hometown been ruled by Heaven?”
<Um… It wasn’t until I left here. And probably not now. Even though Heaven is a strong group, Listenia is no slouch either. This is a universe where dragons are real!>
“uh? Come to think of it… .”
Jeongdo felt his heart beating faster and faster as he heard Iksaah’s words. A pleasant pounding sensation spread throughout her body.
A real dragon.
A knight with a sword and a wizard with a staff.
A place where beautiful elves flock in the forest and dwarves pound hammers in deep caves.
When I heard that it was Ixia’s hometown, I wasn’t very impressed, but when I thought about it, it was a fantasy world like something out of a novel!
‘There’s still a long way to go before I become an adult.’
I see my heart pounding at the word fantasy world. It doesn’t matter. It didn’t matter if I never became an adult.
“If it’s a dragon, I’m imagining it, right? “The strongest race and the lord of magic.”
Speaking of dragons, they are creatures that appear as regular guests in fantasy novels to the extent that it can be safely said that they are a ‘must’. To that extent, the characteristics were also standardized.
The older you get, the stronger you become.
Something like the guardian of Middle-earth.
A living being that is closest to God.
And Ixia seemed to agree with that guess.
<Yes. that’s right. Although their numbers are not large, they are the strongest race as a single individual. They live for a very long time and are good at everything.>
“Surely, in a universe with such dragons, even if the heavens invade, they will be able to stop it.”
<Of course! They are great people! It is said that even if hundreds of such pigeons gather together, it will not be a problem.>
Ixia boasted. However, it was also clear that there were Elyos here.
‘That means they must be pulling some kind of trick.’
It was clear that they were working behind the scenes instead of fighting a powerful creature like a dragon. Just like it was on Earth.
good. There is one more thing to do here.
If you find traces of an Elyos while looking for Ixia’s parts, properly disrupt them. But right now, I was more curious about dragons than Elyos.
“Ixia. “You know a lot about dragons, right?”
<Of course. Because the person who created me was the greatest dragon. Aside from dragons, I probably know the most about dragons.>
“Then… “How strong are the dragons?”
Are you stronger than me?
This was the question I truly wanted to ask. I thought it was a really childish question, but I was curious. What’s wrong with a man feeling bossy? Anyway, no one was listening except Ixia.
And Ixia responded seriously to that level of childishness.
<Just as the master’s drawing skill has levels, the strength of the dragon also varies greatly depending on its age. We will analyze based on fully mature adult dragons.>
Ixia, who used to rely only on <perception>, became capable of sharp <analysis> after acquiring the parts. After getting Ixia’s talent <Analysis-lv.2>, Jeongdo had him guess the winning team in a soccer game to test his abilities.
The result is a hundred and fifty.
Ixia faced the winning team in all 10 of the 10 soccer matches played. Even predicting that a goal will be scored at what time and from what angle! It was the result of synergy between <Perception> and <Analysis>.
<Analysis completed. If you do not use a load or load a black-class character, you will inevitably lose. The win rate is 13% when loading the white grade ‘Hangwoo’. If the Super Heavenly Sword is implemented as the King of All Diseases, the win rate increases to 37%. If you implement the dragon slayer Balmung, the win rate is 74%. If you load the white grade ‘Lirim Bright’, you will win.>
“… wow.”
The degree was briefly admired. Even if you load anti-air, the probability of defeat is higher? The surprise was even greater because Jeongdo had the experience of loading a ship and cutting down a high-ranking demon in an instant. It truly deserved to be called the strongest race.

‘But it’s not god level.’
Lirim Bright was the name of the goddess worshiped by the dwarves. Even though they were of the same white class, there was a gap that could never be bridged between Xiang Yu and the goddess.
‘Elyos. And dragons.’
They were definitely the two races to watch out for the most in this universe. Jeong Do asked Ixia with that in mind.
“good. Then let’s go find the rest of the parts. “Where should I go?”
<I don’t know either.>
“… “You noticed where the sisters were in the warehouse, right?”
<That can only be done if the distance is somewhat close. If it is too far away, detection is impossible.>
“this.”
what. In the end, do I have to take a picture of the direction and go there?
No matter how much I thought about it, it didn’t seem like a good idea, so I did some information gathering. I did this because I remembered that the first time I went to the demon world, the information machine gave me a guide.
However, even though I drew information 10 times in a row, I could not get any income.
“I can’t help it.”
Let’s just walk in the direction we want to go. The moment Do-do made up her mind and took her first step, Ixia spoke to her.
<Um, master? I guess it doesn’t matter which direction you go.>
“hmm? why?”
<That’s right. Anyway, the master will be involved in an incident soon.>
“Suddenly, there is no bottom or end. What are you talking about?”
<Think about what the master has been through so far. Wherever we went, incidents occurred. I have lived quite a long life, but this is the first time I have seen someone caught up in an incident like you. At first, I thought you were holding <Main Character-lv.3> or <Misfortune-lv.3> or something like that as a hidden talent.>
“What is that… .”
It’s nonsense. Just when I was about to answer.
Hehehehe.
The ground began to shake. Ixia shouted as if to say, “Look at it.”
<Look! I’m right, right?>
“Nonsense!”
No, did the incident really happen at this timing? The timing was so amazing that even Jeongdo almost doubted the existence of a hidden talent.
A cloud of dust rose in the distance and something ran towards the island. Jeongdo concentrated his mana on her eyes and confirmed its identity.
A large figure that appears to be about 5 meters tall. The being running quickly on its two large hind legs was an animal that looked familiar to Jeongdo as well.
“dinosaur?”
<Ah, it’s a sub-dragon species called ‘Zarne’. Although he looks a bit ferocious on the outside, he is actually a very gentle child. It is a species with a slight trace of dragon’s blood mixed in.>
“It looks just like a Tyrannosaurus.”
It didn’t look innocent at all, but… Well, if an expert were to say it, it would be like that.
<But once they get angry, they attack without hesitation. It is so strong that if you accidentally touch a Zarne during the breeding season, an entire city is completely destroyed.>
It was difficult to sympathize with the story of a city being destroyed, even if it was said with a feeling like, ‘It’s a nostalgic memory.’ But regardless, it seemed certain to be powerful. This was because the amount of mana felt from Jarne was similar to the amount of mana felt from the Dullahan Lord, an SS-class monster.
Doo doo doo doo.
Jarne ran quickly towards the island. Jarne’s appearance began to be seen in more detail, and Jeongdo soon realized that Jarne’s condition was not normal.
“You’re hurt.”
Jarne had many large and small wounds all over her body. He didn’t have the talent to read the dinosaur’s facial expressions, but even at first glance, he seemed to be feeling extreme fear.
‘So, they’re not running towards me, they’re running away from something.’
A being that causes fear in SS-class monsters.
Ixia’s hometown seemed to be a place of such a high standard that it could not even be compared to Earth.
And when the distance between Jeongdo and Jarne narrowed further, a person jumped up from behind Jarne.
“You ugly bastard! Where are you running!”
It was a man wearing silver armor. He swung the huge sword like a toy. The huge sword had blue energy forming on it, and the sword the man swung split open Jarne’s large back.
“Keueeek!”
Sigh.
The blow knocked Jarne down, but he was running so fast that he skidded to the front. And then it wriggled for a moment and then died.
“hmm! Who are you! “Reveal your identity!”
And then the man in armor discovered the extent and became alert. While Jeongdo was thinking about what to say, the man’s gaze quickly swept over Jeongdo. Then he gave a brief exclamation as if he had figured something out.
“Oh, that was rude. “You are the ‘chosen one.’”
“… yes?”
“haha. You don’t have to pretend not to know. “I am also the ‘chosen one.’”
I’m not pretending not to know, I really don’t know what you’re talking about. However, the man did not question his behavior at all and spoke to him in a friendly manner. It was as if he had met a very close friend for the first time in a long time.
“But how did you get to this deserted place? “This is a very dangerous area.”
“Uh, because I got caught up in an unexpected transference spell?”
“aha. Yes. If you are the ‘chosen one,’ you should put effort into your own training. “It’s not that shameful to make a mistake with spatial magic coordinates.”
You seem to be writing a novel.
The man seemed to think that the word ‘chosen one’ was some kind of all-purpose cheat, and he thought about everything accordingly.
“You must have been worried a lot in a remote place. “I will guide you to a nearby city.”
“Oh, thank you very much for that.”
“What. “It’s natural for the ‘chosen ones.’”
I don’t know what that ‘chosen one’ thing was, but it was a good thing. If it’s a city, they’ll sell you a map, and once you get the map, you can activate the dungeon map, so you won’t be unable to get your bearings anymore.
The man immediately began to guide the way. He seemed very happy to help.
“uh? Are you leaving Jarne’s body behind?”
The man in armor said this because he had caught an SS-class monster but was not paying any attention to its by-products. At those words, the man frowned for the first time.
“There is no need for the corpse of an evil, dirty polyp. If we leave it alone, the grassland scavengers will take care of it.”
<What! They say dragons are a great race!>
Ixia became angry at the man’s words, but rather than being angry, she became suspicious.
“Then why did you come to such a distant place to hunt dragon species?”
“That’s because ‘He’ said we should do it. “Polyps are the root of all evil.”
“… okay.”
A strong sense of déjà vu came over me. It was very similar to a situation I experienced not long ago.
A tone of reverence for someone and praising that person as if they were the truth.
‘He is an Elyos.’
After roughly understanding the situation, I immediately started acting.
“I don’t know much about him because I live in a remote place. Can you tell me about him?”
“haha. Even though we are the ‘chosen ones’ who have received God’s grace, we may not actually know much about Him. It is a pity, but the ‘chosen ones’ like us must not forget His grace.”
And the words that followed were enough to shock Jeong Do and Ixia.
“That is Ixia, the miracle of the beginning.”
“yes?”
Elyos is Ixia?
And the miracle of the beginning?
‘What on earth is going on?’
There was no one who could answer such a silent question. Even Ixia.
