◈ Episode 179. Dragon Advent (3)
“…What is this?”
Geomju, who was looking down at the ground through the secret eye, muttered with an expression of complete incomprehension.
This was because it was not easy for him to understand the situation at the moment.
‘How on earth?’
The sword lord felt such a thought pass through his mind as he looked at the black dragon that was flowing with overwhelming magical power.
At least as far as the sword lord knows, the maximum number of individuals that the Black Dragon, the strongest of the Four Heavenly Kings, can prey on is three individuals.
The sword lord knew that beyond that, using predation to steal his abilities would not be enough.
He heard that story directly from the Lord of the Labyrinth and the Black Dragon, the Four Heavenly Kings, a long time ago.
But what is the current situation?
“…No matter how you look at it, that magic power is…!”
Of course, Geomju, who was watching the situation through secret vision, could not properly see the magic occurring there, nor could he hear the sound.
All he can confirm is visual information.
However, there was so much that could be gained through such visual information.
No, to be more precise, with just visual information, the swordsman was able to realize what the black dragon had done.
‘Could it be that they ate it all?’
All of the constellations that were trying to send down with him?
“This is crazy…!”
When Geomju’s thoughts reached that point, he couldn’t help but swear.
The reason the Lord of the Labyrinth sent down the Four Heavenly Kings in the first place was to understand the strength of the Irregular.
However, the Black Dragon, which was sent down to figure out the strength of the Maverick, somehow managed to deal with the side effects that it had on itself, and gorged on all the other constellations that were going down with it.
‘Thanks to that, the power that the Black Dragon currently possesses…!’
Geomju frowned.
He was in favor of immediately dealing with the Irregulars on the ground, but that did not mean he had any intention of destroying the Labyrinth right away.
However, the power that the Black Dragon currently possesses.
‘It is too much power to destroy those below…!’
No, it was more than enough, it was too much.
Therefore, after thinking about that, the sword master immediately felt the thought swirling around in his head as to why the black dragon hid his abilities.
Even if you think about it, if the black dragon had fully revealed his abilities when he came into the Labyrinth Lord’s possession, he would definitely have been sitting in the same position as himself.
However, after thinking that far, Geomju immediately shook his head.
‘First of all, I have to report.’
This was clearly an unexpected situation.
Therefore, the sword master immediately moved his body and walked towards the place where the labyrinth master was.

Kim Joo-hyuk could easily recall the time he fought the black dragon 300 years ago.
That’s because the Black Dragon at that time clearly had a close fight with Kim Joo-hyuk to the point where the word ‘strong’ was appropriate when Kim Joo-hyuk evaluated it objectively.
That’s why the fight with the black dragon remained in Kim Joo-hyuk’s memory.
Kim Joo-hyuk knew how the black dragon fought at the time, so he had no idea that this fight would be difficult.
As the saying goes, if you know your opponent and know yourself, the battle becomes much easier.
however.
“!”
Kwazijijik!
This was unexpected.
It’s a very fleeting moment.
A time so short that you can’t even blink your eyes.
In that short period of time, Kim Joo-hyuk saw red lightning striking him.
Is it a ray?
no.
So two stems?
That’s not it either.
Currently, above Kim Joo-hyuk’s head, so many thunderstorms were falling on him that he couldn’t even count them.
Should I avoid it?
A thought passed through my mind instinctively.
However, Kim Joo-hyuk instinctively discarded that thought in his mind.
Because the current Kim Joo-hyuk did not have the talent to avoid the thunderstorm falling from all directions.
What did Kim Joo-hyuk choose?
Tsk-!
It was to strike down lightning.
He strikes down the lightning that falls in a straight line in front of Kim Joo-hyuk’s eyes.
It’s so scary!
Red lightning, making a rough crackling sound, shoots out in all directions, and at the same time, a tingling sensation is felt in the hand.
However, Kim Joo-hyuk does not stop there and moves his sword to strike the lightning.
Cut it out.
Cut it out,
I hit it again.
An act that has reached the level of a skill that makes it difficult for someone to succeed even if they try their whole life.
Kim Joo-hyuk continues to do that.
And at the end.

“…”
The black dragon was looking at Kim Joo-hyuk, who blocked all the thunderbolts he struck.
It certainly seemed like he was a little tired, but other than that, Musin was looking at himself without any other damage.
Seeing him like that, the black dragon smiled.
####
As I said, the Black Dragon did not have that name from the beginning.
The first name he had was ‘Bam’.
‘Snake’, which lived everywhere, but was unusually greedy unlike other entities, was the first name given to him.
At that time, he had no reason to exist.
All he had was the instincts that animals like him had and a slightly deeper greed that was different from others.
However, due to that greed, the snake was able to take the position of king of a mountain due to coincidence of fate and fate.
He came to be called ‘Saryeong (蛇令)’ rather than ‘Snake’.
However, despite becoming the king of a mountain and earning a name that was different from other entities, he was not satisfied.
Greed, which was different from others from the very beginning, made him continuously crave for many things, and his intelligence, which had been developed by then, could not suppress his greed.
No, I didn’t suppress it.
Rather, as he became more intelligent, he rose further and higher using greed as a medium.
In this way, he escaped from the position of commander and became a mountain leader.
However, even after becoming a mountain spirit, his greed did not decrease.
Rather, the higher his intelligence, the more his greed demanded, and he continued to follow that greed by knocking down and eating everything in front of him and moving forward.
And so on.
He became ‘Imugi’.
Imoogi.
From a humble beginning, he became a being who could possibly reach the sky due to his greed.
His greed, which still did not subside, soon made him want to escape the earth and reach the sky.
That’s why he tried.
To reach the sky.
To become a dragon.
It was practiced for a whopping 1,000 years.
In it, he practiced the practice of abandoning the five lusts and seven emotions.
By the time he reached the year 1000, he had virtually completed all of his training.
However, even though he completed all his training for 1000 years, he did not become a dragon.
Because the Imoogi that became a dragon could not give up its ‘greed’.
No, to begin with, greed was not something that could be thrown away for him.
The reason he went from being a snake to becoming a evil spirit in the first place was because of greed.
The reason he went from a dead spirit to a mountain spirit was because of greed.
It was because of greed that it finally ate everyone and became an imoogi.
However, he could not become a dragon because of his greed.
The greed that brought him to this point is a contradictory situation that prevents him from going any higher.
There he received the name ‘Imoogi that failed to become a dragon’.
The name of my first failure.
However, despite not being able to become a dragon, his greed was unstoppable.
So he eventually turned his attention to what he could do best.
What he does best.
What he did constantly until he became an Imoogi.
He decided to constantly eat someone.
In the end, all he has done from the beginning until now is eat.
So he stopped practicing and started eating everything again.
The Imoogi that failed to become a dragon became an evil Imoogi, but it did not care.
Because at that point, he was already continuing to grow.
Eating everything on the mountain.
Eating humans.
He grew by devouring even the good people who came to deal with him.
The evil Imoogi has a tail,
At some point, it gained arms and legs.
Finally, horns appeared.
In the end, it was able to create the shape of a ‘dragon’ by eating everything, and was eventually called ‘the black dragon’ by everyone.
however. Even though he became a black dragon like that, he realized.
That I haven’t reached the dragon yet.
It wasn’t something I noticed through someone’s comparison; I just couldn’t help but notice it instinctively.
And at the same time, he instinctively realized that he would no longer be able to reach this level just by ‘eating up’.
That’s why he became the property of ‘Labyrinth Lord’.
Hiding your strength.
Hidden abilities.
The reason he became the owner of the Labyrinth was so that he could devour everything at the last moment and smoothly lay the foundation for becoming a true ‘dragon’.
Of course, it would take a long time until then, but he waited calmly.
The greed he possessed certainly allowed him to wait that long.
however.
His greed exploded 300 years ago.
A man I met 300 years ago.
Because of the man who called himself a warrior.
Clearly the man was strong.
Because the subject was just an unknown subject, the man took a picture of himself.
However, that was not the only reason why the black dragon’s greed exploded.
‘assurance.’
I don’t know why I was so sure.
I also couldn’t understand why a mere labyrinthine person could smell the unique scent of immortals.
But the black dragon was confident.
I am confident that the moment I eat him, I will be able to become a dragon right away without having to wait a long time.
And at the same time, I felt regretful.
The black dragon at that time was killed by him because he could not use his power properly.
But when he came down again with his body and heard that Martial God was alive, he did everything without hesitation.
Unleashing his hidden power without delay, he easily devoured the constellations that came down with him without any effort.
He was able to meet Musin.
The ‘food’ that can turn you into a true dragon.
That’s why Black Dragon looked at Kim Joo-hyuk, who was staring at him, and smiled.
Once again, red lightning fell on Kim Joo-hyuk –
Tsk-!
-I just leapt towards Kim Joo-hyuk.
The leap is instantaneous.
With just one leap, the dragon narrowed the distance and reached in front of Kim Joo-hyuk, and in that split second, Kim Joo-hyuk had already raised his sword to ward off the lightning.
In short, he was defenseless.
The black dragon smiled.
What you see along with it are Kim Joo-hyuk’s eyes.
His eyes were already checking the black dragon that was right in front of him, but it was already too late.
Because the black dragon’s hand was already aiming for Kim Joo-hyuk’s heart.
and-
“You idiot.”
Kwazijic!
“Did you think it would happen again?”
“!”
-The black dragon’s arm flew through the air.
