170. Salamander (1)
The second shoe to be made is not difficult to obtain except for one material. The one ingredient that is difficult to obtain is – the ancient monster that hovered in the depths of the delta people, the Salamander. it’s his heart
“What? Salamander’s heart?”
The ark looked at Lucas in surprise as she received Aegis.
The fact that they do not drop the Aegis even in the midst of this shows how serious they are about their blacksmithing skills.
The ark carefully placed Aegis on one side and looked at Lucas again.
“Are you serious? Are you really going to kill the Salamanders?”
For the fairies of the workshop, the Salamander was the existence of love and hatred itself.
They were the ones who provided fire so that they could handle metal, but if it was not controlled, it would be a disaster.
Fairies can use the fire of a salamander for a very short time while it’s asleep.
Even when it wakes up, it rips apart the delta like a volcanic eruption.
Fortunately, the last time I woke up was about 50 years ago.
The fairies had also thought about eradicating the salamanders, but it was not easy.
Because they were a race specialized in production rather than combat.
It was the same for orders from other places.
First of all, the existence of the workshop had to be revealed to the world, and above all, it was difficult to find an existence capable of killing the Salamanders.
Salamander is the basic four elements, fire itself.
There is nothing that can extinguish fire.
I don’t know if it’s a god
“I have heard of how great your power is, but the Salamanders are unlike any you have ever dealt with. He is Mother Nature itself.”
Of course, the subjugation of Salamanders is a welcome thing for fairies as well.
but it’s too much
I know he’s a person who spreads great rumors, but I can’t even imagine that he can handle that Salamander.
I didn’t want to push it, knowing it was unreasonable.
It’s not because I’m friends with Lucas.
‘The metal of the ancient civilizations brought by this man, and the gods who have no ‘concept’! Only by holding on to this human will we be able to recover the lost new synthesizing method!’
The sense of the chief devotee was shouting.
If you catch Lucas, you can restore all the skills of the Fairy tribe that have been lost.
Of course, the best technology on the continent can be argued with just the technology that continues now, but for the fairies, metallurgy is like a dragon’s gold.
the more the better.
The better the better.
To such a fairy, Lucas is nothing more than a bond of friendship.
A rope that will take you to gold if you ride it.
The ark’s eyes lit up with greed, but then it subsided.
It was because this crazy cord was about to break by itself.
“And I don’t even know where the salamander’s habitat is. He may have already died.”
It is false.
Here, the workshop and the salamander’s habitat are connected.
“… … Why are you stopping me?”
And, Lucas saw through the lies of the ark.
As his cool eyes pierced the ark, the ark froze with a tingling and electrifying shock all over his body.
“Well, that’s what… … .”
Lucas went past the ark and headed for the depths of the workshop.
It was as if he knew the way.
“Oh no, there… … .”
It was exactly the place to go to the salamander’s habitat.
In this place where the placenta of the fairies is connected like a maze, it’s easy to get lost, but why doesn’t this guy hesitate even a single step as he walks around his house?
The ark, which was chasing Lucas with its short limbs fluttering, entered the salamander’s habitat.
The scorching heat enveloped my whole body, and my stomach felt warm as if I had swallowed fire.
‘Ugh, it’s an atrocious environment that only fairies can survive. Having tasted this, I begged to go back… … .’
But Lucas’s face was so calm.
“why?”
“… … .”
At that moment, Lucas stopped walking and looked around the ark.
“Will you follow me?”
The ark was at a crossroads of choice.
Will you let Lucas go alone or will you follow him?
“I do.”
The Ark’s choice was to follow in the footsteps of this reckless Dong-A-Jul.
Lucas’ back gave him a sense of stability.
I try to follow the source of this stability.
Lucas looked at the unanswered ark, then turned and walked away.
The ark swallowed its saliva and followed after it.
Obviously, the closer he got to the Salamander, the greater the heat.

Magma was flowing around it like a stream, and the air was hot and then hotter repeatedly.
“It looks like the salamander is still sleeping.”
It sounded natural and obvious, but it was the only gesture the ark could make in this atmosphere.
Lucas still ignored the words of the ark and walked.
Before long, the body of the Salamander caught my eye.
As if facing the sun, intense heat, dazzling light, and huge body.
All of this overwhelms the ark as if it represents Mother Nature.
But-
‘Why the hell… … !’
Was it that Lucas, who was only a human being, stood out in front of this great Mother Nature?
It’s getting bigger and bigger.
Gradually, the presence of the Salamander was surpassed.
The ark’s mouth opened in unbelievable wonder.
* * *
‘… … .’
The eyes of the Salamander, who had been sleeping in the depths of the Delta, were slowly opened.
It was because he felt the energy of someone pushing him away and encroaching on this space.
At first, I had been sleeping for a long time, so I finally thought I was crazy.
Who dares to spread a presence that rivals or surpasses them?
-Is a mere human interfering with this flame’s sleep?
The Salamander exhaled a breath mixed with flames and got up to look at where Lucas was.
The fairies who are drenched in the energy of fire that engulfed their son-in-law, and the humans who receive their own energy… … .
-… … I’m not human. Are you Sam’s child?
Even though he knew he wasn’t human, the question of existence in front of him continued.
Even if it was a four-man, it was to gain the upper hand over the demons, but it did not mean that its presence was comparable to that of the transcendent.
‘By the way… … Why does it feel familiar?’
It must have been the first time he encountered such a non-common existence.
But the Salamander was sure.
He already knew that self-satisfaction that spreads this tremendous presence.
-Yeah, what’s Saman’s child to me? While arrogantly spraying that level of momentum in my domain-!
Salamander pushed away Lucas’s energy and swore.
However, Lucas responded with a stronger energy and said.
“I need your heart, Salamander.”
-her. Am I not awake yet?
rumbling-
The surrounding atmosphere began to burn as if resonating with the Salamander’s wrath.
In the scattering flames, Lucas’ eyes did not fade at all and looked straight at the Salamander.
-How dare a mere creature speak of the heart of this body!
Following the salamander’s shout, flames soared towards Lucas. A heat that seemed to melt everything began to wrap around Lucas.

hot.
It goes beyond the hot level and even hurts.
In this fleeting moment, the setting of this Salamander briefly flashed through my mind.
Water, wind, earth, and fire, which are the basis of this worldview, the four elements and the beginning elements.
All of them became a single spirit creature and supported this world.
Water is the water dragon Elaim,
The land is the earth dragon Noahs,
The wind is the wind dragon Minerva,
Fire – Fire Dragon Salamander.
The four became the kings of each attribute and created the foundation of this world.
Elaim, Noas, and Minerva, who had fulfilled their duties, returned to the higher dimension, the new realm, and completed their duties, but Salamander was the only exception.
He fell in love with forbidden love and was unable to set foot in the new realm.
He lived for millions of eons with the sin of falling into the taboo, and he paid the price for forbidden love.
‘… … It was a romantic element.’
A romance fantasy read by an anonymous user from a community of writers who accessed ＜A.C.C.M.> to fill their boredom at the time of writing.
After reading the work and being deeply impressed, this setting was born.
Of course, the few readers of ＜A.Chun.Man> were all male readers, and they couldn’t openly reveal this romantic sensibility, and they didn’t have the confidence to save it.
In case anyone was curious, I tried to write it as a side story, but I was surprised that there was no interest in it.
So I buried it in my work.
It is a so-called hidden setting that is not revealed to the front like a myth.
As I greeted the salamander’s hot breath, I remembered that time for a moment.
Whoops-!
hot.
It goes beyond the hot level and even hurts.
However, there is no killing intent in this fire.
Parts-
The Leviathan, wearing the Auror, parted the Salamander’s flames.
Then, the salamander’s faint eyes appeared beyond it.
“I have come to end your boredom.”
– That’s funny.
As the Salamander beckoned, the flames flew towards me again and rushed towards me.
– You bastard! By what qualification are you talking about the end of boredom!
It was still hot enough to rip apart from burning the skin, but it still did not contain the intent to kill.
It is natural.
“This is the beginning of the boredom created by our clan, so I will not cut it off.”
The reason why Salamander fell into the swamp of boredom.
Because it was in self-satisfaction.
This goddamn four-man’s man is in charge of most of the causes, even though it wasn’t revealed throughout ＜Ah.Cheon.Mang>.
I didn’t have the skill to solve it in detail, so I roughly put it together, and it came to this shape.
Anyway, I’ll have to carry that karma with me.
– Are you saying that you are arrogant even though you know that? Even though I know very well that I have nothing to say if I can burn you with fear and kill you right now!
The Salamander who got up properly jumped up and landed in front of me.
A hot wind engulfed her whole body, and a lively voice rang through her ears.
-good night. I will annihilate this damn fortune with my hands. And you will find eternal peace.
Salamander’s hand flashed.
And as is-
Whoo-!
It became a huge pressure in itself and it began to press toward me.
“Uh, uh… … .”
He grabbed the back of the ark that was frozen in front of him and threw it roughly backwards.
This young salamander’s kick won’t do any harm to me, but it’s not the ark beside me.
Because the ark is not self-satisfaction.
– It’s disgusting. You forsaken are insanely hateful!
bang! bang! bang!
A huge explosion erupted one after another, and huge fire pits were formed in the shape of salamander’s footprints.
It still hasn’t done any damage to me.
-But I hate myself madly for not being able to even kill you four with my own hands.
profit-
Hot lava flowed from Salamander’s eyes.
The surrounding terrain that touched the lava tears melted, creating a loud noise.
It encroached on the space like a scream, like a cry mixed with rage.
“I will cut off your hatred.”
In response to the resentment, he lit an auror and raised it.
In the cavity, the two energies intertwined and began to create a storm.
In it, Salamander’s monologue continued.
-Stop my hatred.
The Salamander stood up straight.
– Then can you break my hatred?
Whoops-!
Salamander’s whole body was covered in flames.
The original form, the fire of the beginning, became itself and began to burn.
– Let me test the qualifications myself.
