Zefia Republic (1)
The elder dragon of the gold clan, Shurihatgen, came to visit unexpectedly.
He took Horus and left Taraq to move elsewhere.
He went to the nest where he had been hiding until now, to a small island located in the northwest of the Ion continent.
“It is a place that has been prepared with great care. Even the Immortal King would never find this place without accurate information.”
“Oh oh-!”
Even though his life was short, he did his best to educate himself while he still had time.
He was in a state of dying in real time as a result of waking up from hibernation, which forced him to prolong his lifespan, but he decided that it would be better for him to serve as food for the next generation than to live meaninglessly day by day like that.
‘It was said that he suffered fatal wounds in the war three hundred years ago and has barely endured until now.’
Only, because of the responsibility to ensure that the life of the Gold clan is not cut off.
A successor named Horus suddenly appeared in front of him who had been enduring so hard.
Horus glanced at him as he guided Lair, then turned his gaze with a subtle feeling.
As a mere lucky stranger, I couldn’t even guess what kind of heart he was dealing with.
“I don’t have much time left, so I’ll do my best to teach during that period. This isn’t a normal hatchling training method, but I can’t help it now.”
He said it apologetically, but in fact, that was what Horus wanted.
Rather, it would have been more frustrating for him if he was a dragon and had to spend time idle around.
“The [Golden Treasury] will be transferred to you upon my death. Actually, even if it’s a legacy, most of the useful things were mobilized for war, so there aren’t many left. Still, even those things should be at the rare level of an old dragon.”
Of course, that criticism was only limited to items with mysteries such as relics and magic tools, and general wealth with high liquidity could literally be regarded as piled up like a mountain.
“Wait, you can use dragon words? Is it a hatchling?”
“Okay, can I show you?”
And immediately after having a conversation related to it before starting full-scale education.
For the first time, Horus could see Shrihatgen’s genuine bewilderment, who had always been calm.
“…Really. Huh true. There are many cases where even those who have reached Juvenile cannot handle dragon words properly, but only hatchlings… Ah, Drakkarion.”
If Hatchling was an infant, Juvenile was an adolescent.
Adult Dragon— The stage right before becoming Jackie Chan.
To put it simply, what Horus did now was no different from a preschooler solving the CSAT problem.
“I thought I had no choice but to lay out the basics for dragon words and expect them to complete them later, but this will save a lot of time.”
Shurihatgen, who accepted the situation, nodded slowly with a faint smile.
The dragon itself is no different from the power of a dragon, so as you get older, you should have learned it naturally somehow, but there was a high possibility that the way to handle it more efficiently was not conveyed properly.
For now, I was thinking of leaving the arrangements through magic tools, including magic books, but the level of dragon magic was too high to be completely passed down through such things.
‘So before I die, I wanted to ask a survivor of another clan for a favor, but that worked out.’
Of course, in a situation where the entire race is in danger like now, I know that the one who was asked can’t refuse, but still, isn’t there something called the pride of the clan?
I don’t know if there is no other way, but if I could solve it on my own, I didn’t want to say sorry to the other clan.
In fact, not only before the Immortal King appeared a thousand years ago, but also until the situation worsened in the war three hundred years ago, relations between the clans were not very good.
So, from his point of view, who has lived a life without oblivion for thousands of years, the current situation is bound to be very satisfactory.
“Good night. That’s great. Then let’s get started right away.”
“Yep!”
On a small, nameless island hidden in the northwest of the Ion Continent.
The camp life between the little hatchling Horus and the old dragon Shurihatgen, who burns the end of life, has begun.
***
Earth, somewhere located in Suwon, South Korea.
In an enclosed space where no light shines through, a woman with long black hair was quietly tilting a cup of tea with her eyes closed.
Tea time in the dark full of silence that nothing seems to be able to disturb her.
But that silence, as her body suddenly stiffened—.
Clink—
Soon she was shattered with the teacup slipping from her hand.
However, even though the red tea that spread with a loud rupture was soaking the floor, she did not even move and stood still in her initial posture.
Knock Tok—
“Aria? Are you okay? Excuse me for a moment.”
Then, with an urgent knock, a woman cautiously opened the door and stepped inside.
She hurriedly looked around her, only to find that she was still sitting in front of the tea table, and then she let out a sigh of relief and slowly approached it.
“Aria? Are you okay?”
“···Ah! Oops, she was distracted for a moment and her hand slipped.”
“I’ll put the teacup away soon. For a moment···.”
“No, I will clean this up later. Could you please leave at once?”
“···All right. If anything happens, please call me anytime. I will come running right away.”
The person who entered the room at that stubborn banquet no longer protested, greeted politely, and then went out again quietly.
A woman with closed eyes left alone in her room again.
Aria, the vampire who is the head of the moderate faction, one of the first blood alliances to rule the streets of Korea at night, took out a handkerchief from her bosom and wiped the bloody tears from her eyes while immersed in her thoughts.
‘I thought she was quiet now. After all, is this enough?’
With the hardliners expelled and Heinz’s heterosis taking their place, I thought maybe things would be okay now.
Just now, a crisis was sensed once again in her unique skill [Fate’s Platform].
Her foreknowledge-type skill, [Fate of Destiny], showed only fragments of the flow that occurred around her and herself, but it was a lifeline-like ability that helped her always make the right choice even in the face of difficulties.
The fact that he accepted becoming a vampire, returned safely from another world and became the chief executive of the clan, led the moderate faction and stood up to the hardliners, helped Heinz absorb the power of the clan, all thanks to him. It was a choice that could have been made.
‘Heinz…’
No matter how she tried her hand, there was no way with her own strength. The man who left all her burdens on her.
Heterosys, a new bloodline on Earth, succeeded in devouring the Blood Alliance, and now, the feeling of being the ‘head of the moderate faction’ was meaningless.
Still, with the consideration of Jin So-ran, the second person in heterosis, he formed a crew with those who followed him and was spending his days leisurely as usual…
‘I think it would be a good idea to warn the fuss for now.’
Pussuk—
She let out a sigh and stood up from her seat, and at the same time, the remains of tea cups and black tea littering her floor crumbled and disappeared.
It happened on the fourth day after Hahoe Mask, which had been wandering around Japan, suddenly disappeared.
***
The Republic of Zefia that rules the eastern part of the Ion Continent.
When the day gets dark
Heinz II, owner of both Earth’s heterosis and Auterica’s hybrid, entered the interior of an old, shabby house on the outskirts of the capital.
However, even though he passed through the street and opened the front door openly, no one noticed his presence, not only the residents passing by the neighborhood but also those inside the building.
Until he closed the door he had opened and revealed himself again.
“…You’re late.”
When he released 「Denial of Existence」 and showed up, a cold female voice resounded from inside the building as if she had been waiting for that moment.
“I came exactly on time as promised. You know, I’m pretty busy.”
“Under! That’s right. It’s not enough to swallow a country, so you’re diligently reaching out to other places like this.
A middle-aged woman approaching with a sharp horse and a shoe clatter.
The highly sensitive Vice President of the Republic of Zefia, Kayla McClare, frowned and looked up at her tall man.
“That is also a misunderstanding. I am not interested in Zefia Republic. All I want is to subjugate Obipo.”
Her sardonic Heinz looked down at her with her sullen gaze and muttered lowly.
Cayla met that gaze curiously for a moment, but before long, the corners of her eyes trembled, and she gently bit her lips and laid her eyes down.
‘To be honest, if I could eat it, it’s true that I’d want to swallow it whole.’
However, the scale and national power were at the bottom of the continent, and the circumstances were different here from Thalia Kingdom, where only the ruling class had to be controlled.
The Republic of Zefia was a powerful country that could compete with the Azerion Empire to some extent, and its name was based on the republic, so it was not possible to use the lukewarm method it used before.
‘Of course, Obipo is working to some extent now, but that won’t last long either.’
It was nothing more than a temporary problem that happened at the right time, taking advantage of the current chaotic continental situation.
They are proceeding in a very thorough manner, befitting those who have been preparing for decades, but now those who have realized the ideals of the superior must have begun to move one by one.
‘Perhaps once something starts to happen, it will spread out of control following it.’
In the process of solving the problem like that, it would be inevitable to temporarily fall into a vacuum of governance, but if that was normal, it would have been somehow managed.
But now the entire continent is in a state of national emergency.
It was also a situation where the dark side, aiming for the overthrow of the world, remained openly.
If this continues, the invasion of giants and the agitation of monsters will be concentrated in the east due to the actions of the revolutionaries aiming for the Republic to groan in internal troubles, and the entire country will be shaken as a result.
In addition, if you start installing the over-by-po again in that state…
‘Actually, that’s probably the situation they want in the end.’
It is not the rule of the ‘Zepia Republic’ in an intact state, but the rule of refugees in a country whose system has collapsed into anarchy.
It was no different from chopping it into small pieces and swallowing it because it was too big to swallow whole.
‘…I can’t let them do that.’
I didn’t even want to take away the country that had become so tattered.
It’s cumbersome to build a Talia kingdom right now, but it’s obvious that your head hurts for nothing.
From noble mtl dot com
And if I wasn’t going to eat it anyway, I had no intention of letting anyone else eat it.
Especially if that’s what the revolutionary bastard wants.
“Still, seeing that he’s still alive, there seems to be no problem.”
“After that, there were a lot of problems. In fact, it’s a wonder that I’m still alive. I didn’t know that even Commander-in-Chief O’Connell would be defeated.”
A warrior who has reached transcendence guarding the border with the Empire, and a great man called the guardian deity of Zefia.
Following the tragic news she found out in the process of somehow trying to get in touch with him, her full-fledged hermaphrodite began to reach out to her shortly thereafter.
“If I had been alone, I would have died. It’s purely that way… I survived thanks to the escort that Hybrid gave me. I’d like to thank you again.”
Sussuk-
And as soon as she finished her words, a small shadow that came inside from outside the building in an instant prostrated itself in front of Heinz.
“Welcome, High Road! I’m late because I’ve been tidying up the tails around!”
A boy with red eyes and white hair.
It was Obor Brokoslak, a true-blooded vampire who was attached to Vice President Kayla as an escort.
“Okay, how is it going?”
“Everything went smoothly. We have completed the deployment of blood gates in each stronghold, and all mobilized combatants are also ready.”
A report on this incident followed.
The current situation, the dynamics of the enemy, and even future plans.
‘···What?’
But in the meantime, Kayla, who was present, frowned at her sudden sense of incongruity.
The conversation itself between the warlord and god was not a big deal.
It seems to be caused by something else, but it was subtly on the nerves, and I couldn’t figure out exactly what.
‘It’s just because of my mood…’
Feeling so uncomfortable, she instinctively turned her head around her—.
My eyes met something vaguely hidden in the darkness, and I froze stiffly on the spot.
Inside the shabby house she had entered to hide herself from her pursuit.
As night approached, black figures filled with darkness were standing silently all over the building.
‘Suddenly?!’
Even that number was not one or two.
She couldn’t understand why she hadn’t noticed until now.
Not only that, but even at this moment when the god of war was having a conversation, the figures in the darkness continued to increase one by one every time his gaze turned around for a moment.
Walls, windows, stairs, railings… Even the ceiling.
And when the shadows stretched out like that, surpassed dozens and approached hundreds.
“Good night.”
At the sound of a voice with a strange power that forcibly drew the attention of those around her, her gaze returned to Heinz.
“Then, the preparations are finally over…”
A sharp smile like a young veil on his cold face as usual.
“To unite all vampires in this world—.”
Sussuk-
Sasak—!
The sound of countless pieces of cloth fluttering at once echoed.
Hundreds of shadows prostrated themselves in unison, paying homage to their great lord.
“—Start a war.”
A war between vampires has begun.
