Yellow Dragon’s Orb (1)
A shrine located deep in a cave.
“Chamhoe-dong is not simply a prison where monsters who have committed crimes are imprisoned.”
Blue Dragon, a woman with long blue hair neatly tied up, walked slowly and spoke softly.
Horus, a small man trailing behind her, quickly turned his head and looked around.
All kinds of ritual tools such as gold strings, bells, mirrors, and swords are placed here and there.
While the memorial tablets placed in between showed off their subtle presence, the blue dragon that was ahead stopped in place and took something out from within its arms.
-The four evils, Dool (檮杌).
After looking at the memorial tablet with strong energy flowing from inside for a moment, she carefully placed it in an empty space in the shrine.
And after a while,
The newly prepared place did not look that different from other places around it.
“Yokai are beings who are born mysterious and have used their supernatural ability like breathing throughout their lives. It takes a lot of power to forcibly detain such people. “It means that the more criminals we lock up, the greater the burden we have to bear.”
“Hey—.”
That was extremely inefficient.
It is said that a lot of damage was already done to Geumo Island from the moment he broke the rules and came here, but additional spending is needed to maintain the prison.
In that case, wouldn’t it be much better to just kill them all cleanly?
‘If we do that, we will be able to supply rare materials more easily.’
Instead, the solidarity of the organization was inevitably reduced.
It may be that they are part of a major accident that everyone can acknowledge, otherwise it would not be easy to become attached to an organization that murders and butchers their own people.
Fortunately, Geumo-do, who is no exaggeration to say that he is the best in the world of martial arts, was able to find an alternative to solve the problem.
“The principle is simple. “We do not necessarily use our own power, but instead use the power of sinners.”
The idea was to forcibly take away their energy, drain them of their power, and use that energy to suppress other youkai and at the same time operate the phantom circle, an indoctrination program.
So that all the monsters sealed in the repentance cave can become each other’s shackles.
“After doing that, you can save the remaining power and use it when something necessary arises?”
“As expected, Horus. “You’re very clever.”
Blue Dragon, with a happy smile, stroked his head and placed a sweet from somewhere in his mouth.
In other words, Chamhoe-dong was a place that was no different from a prison, a correctional center, and a power plant.
“And that has helped me a lot recently. Even otherwise, it took a lot of energy to maintain the balance of a world that was on the verge of collapsing.”
It was the best choice in a situation where it was not easy to trust those who had already made an accident and were sealed away.
Right now, most of the power to run the world is being supplied from here.
“So Horus? Why did you want to come here? “There is nothing here that would attract Horus’ attention.”
After speaking, the manager of the Confession Building, Blue Dragon, looked down with clear eyes at Horus, who was munching on the sweets.
Although he obediently complied with his sudden request, it was clear that he was puzzled as to why he did such a thing.
“Mumbling—ah, that’s it….”
He scratched the back of his head as he looked at the harsh surroundings.
Actually, there was no big reason in itself for trying to check this place in person.
I just wanted to check with my own eyes to see if there would be any variables in what I would do in the future.
‘I didn’t know that the “Yellow Dragon’s Orb” was like this.’
He chose his words, recalling the prerequisites needed before activating the privilege.
The usage instructions that were naturally imprinted in my mind along with the system messages were full of all kinds of difficult details, but if I had to point out the most important points, I could name three.
The first is himself, the subject who achieved the feat of being the savior of the Kang Hwan world and was given special privileges as the ‘last yellow dragon’.
The second was the enormous energy that we just confirmed, and it is no exaggeration to say that it was enormous.
Lastly…
“…Can you take the dragon child to the dragon temple?”
The blue dragon frowned slightly.
The Dragon Temple was like a sacred place only allowed to dragons, with even the top leaders of Geumodo Island unable to enter without permission.
Since she had heard that humans, no matter how ‘dragon children’, were allowed into such a place, even the gentle woman could not help but feel resistance.
But Horus was confident.
After hearing what he said, she would have no choice but to follow his words.
And that confidence soon became reality.
“···Oh my god, let’s convene the Five Dragons Council right away.”
As soon as she heard the reason, she put everything aside and moved, instantly gathering the five dragons in one place.
Everyone was busy with their own work, but Chae-geun, who was usually calm, had no choice but to put everything aside and run to Chae-geun, full of force.
“what? Blue dragon. “What happened that made you call us all so quickly?”
A woman with short red hair who grumbles for no reason, Seokryong.
“The Five Dragons Meeting at a time like this. “Is there a big problem?”
Baekryong, the eldest man with long white hair who opens his mouth politely.
“Hello Horus? “I’ve been so busy that I haven’t had time to see your face, but you’re still cute, right?”
Even the black dragon, a girl with long black hair braided and eyes full of curiosity.
However, their different reactions gradually took on the same pattern as Horus’ words progressed.
Doubt, disbelief, astonishment.
And even expectations.
“Then I assume we all agree.”
Everyone nodded at the blue dragon’s words.
It’s only been a few minutes since the five dragons’ emergency meeting began.
The agenda regarding the entry of the dragon child, Zhuge Huimi, into the Dragon Temple was passed unanimously.
***
“Whoa.”
A nervous Zhuge Hui Mi slowly moved forward.
It had to be that way.
This is because he was brought in alone, separated from his companions, in this unfamiliar environment called Hwangye.
‘And in a world full of monsters…’
But I wasn’t really scared.
She took a deep breath and walked forward without hesitation.
She had a firm belief that even if she was in danger, someone would definitely come to her rescue.
Just like it has been all along.
“here! “This way!”
I was moving forward without hesitation.
A young voice came from the end of the passage.
Looking there, she saw a little boy who seemed to be only about six or seven years old, waving his hand at her.
‘child?’
He was a very pretty boy, like a doll, with brilliant blonde hair and golden eyes that were rare in the midfield.
“Ahem.”
A boy with his head held high and his chest spread out as if proud.
It was so cute that it made me lose my mind for a moment, but as a dragon child, she was able to sense its presence sensitively and realized it instinctively.
About the true character of that cute-looking child.
Surprisingly, he and that kid were not meeting each other for the first time.
“Yellow dragon…? “Are you sure it’s Hwangryong?”
During the war against the Demon Cult, Beijing was completely wiped out with a single attack.
The same yellow dragon who later performed ceremonies for her and other dragon children.
“hmm! Do you recognize me? From now on, I will guide you, so follow me quietly!”
That was the identity of the boy who shrugged his small shoulders and walked ahead right before my eyes.
She couldn’t even bear to ask the other person a question and followed him with her mouth shut.
‘···This is ridiculous.’
She swallowed her saliva and squeezed her itching hand.
Then, he closed his eyes tightly, then opened them again and fixed them on the guide.
‘That fearsome yellow dragon is so cute!’
As I watched the little feet move diligently and toddle around, I couldn’t help but lose my gaze as my mouth relaxed.
It was as if he had been possessed by a vicious monster.
There were beautiful works of art scattered around the aisle she was passing through, but none of that caught her eye right now.
‘Oh, I want to pat your head.’
Skin as white and smooth as glutinous rice cake and hair that flows softly like gold thread.
From the small head shaking bouncily to the limbs moving vigorously.
Somehow, a scent like warm sunlight seemed to be coming out.
‘Children were originally such lovely beings.’
She had spent her entire life wandering around in the deepest part of the world and had no opportunity to come into contact with her child.
As I regained my health, I faced many dark sides of the world.
Because she was like that, I couldn’t help but feel even more impressed by Horus, who exudes an aura like the sun just by his very existence.
‘If I have children too… ‘Is it possible to give birth to such a cute child?’
A wish that I thought would never come true until not long ago.
But now it was no longer just a dream, but a reality.
‘Yes, I’m sure my child will be lovely too. As a mother, I am not inferior in appearance. And on my father’s side…’
Could it be because of the kidnapping incident that occurred not long ago?
All kinds of delusions rushed through her mind.
In the end, she imagined the two-year-old’s appearance by mixing the two people’s features and nodded with satisfaction with a flushed face.
‘Yes, no matter how you put it together, it’s all pretty. Oh, by the way, what is your name? Would it be a good idea to build one for each man and one woman from now on? hot! What if they are twins?!’
Jegal Hye-mi started to worry while groaning with a red face.
Horus, who had been giving preliminary explanations while guiding him, looked back and blinked.
“So you don’t have to worry too much… huh? Are you okay? Are you sick?”
At that call, she, who had been lost in her own world, barely came to her senses and suddenly raised her head.
Of course, I hadn’t heard a word of what he said.
“S-sorry. Could you say that again? “I was thinking about something else for a moment…”
“hmm! are you okay! “It can happen if you’re nervous.”
The boy, who nodded his head in a dignified manner that did not match his appearance, looked at her, crossed his arms, and smiled.
“Well, let’s leave all the complicated stuff aside and just get to the point.”
Then he spread one finger wide and spoke in a lively tone.
“I’m going to make a baby from now on!”
From Noble mtl dot com
“Yeee—?!”
Horus tilted his head as he saw her reacting more sensitively than expected for some reason.
***
I was confused for a while.
After Horus continued his detailed explanation and understood the context, she regained her composure and became lost in thought.
‘A new yellow dragon.’
baby.
It meant the child of a dragon.
To put it simply, it was a project to resurrect the real yellow dragon, not the fake yellow dragon Horus, into this Kangwhan world.
“Here you are, Horus. I looked through it, and right now we only have two. “I don’t know if there are more intact ones left somewhere in the midfield…”
“I’m okay with this for now! You can’t hatch them all at once anyway! “We can calmly search for the rest and increase them one by one.”
“…I will have to risk my life to retrieve it.”
Dragon Temple.
It was the center of a stone mountain that looked like a giant dragon coiled around itself.
Horus, who led Zhuge Hui-mi inside, accepted the item held out by the white dragon and his eyes lit up.
A circular sphere that shines blue as if it contained a sunny sky.
Inside, a clear golden radiance wavered like flames or waves, radiating a clear presence and mysterious beauty.
‘Yeouiju of the Yellow Dragon.’
This is a keepsake of a dragon who lost his life in an unexpected incident.
It was now a medium that would become the ‘egg’ that would conceive a new life.
‘I knew it was related to Yeouiju because it was called the “Yellow Dragon’s Orb,” but I never thought it had a literal meaning.’
Well, considering that the Dragon God was involved in this privilege, it might have been natural.
As long as the yellow dragon is absent, it is difficult to say that this world has returned to its original state.
‘Well, it’s not bad. It’s not like I can care about Kang Hwan-gye forever. If you leave a clear plan in order, the aftertaste will be clean.’
Of course, that wasn’t the only reason.
In any case, since the “Yellow Dragon’s Orb” was his special privilege, there were quite a few advantages when he was truly successful.
“Preparations are complete. Then, let’s start the ritual. I’m counting on you.”
The white dragon, which left a message to Horus and Zhuge Huemi, returned to its dragon form and soared high into the sky.
Then, they joined the three dragons who were already waiting in the sky and took their respective positions.
Blue dragon in the east, red dragon in the south, white dragon in the west, and black dragon in the north.
[Okay then, let’s get started!]
And while standing at the center of the altar in the middle of the Dragon Temple, Horus polymorphed into a giant gold dragon using the “Heart of the Elder Dragon.”
I felt like I was in a bit of trouble because I had been prioritizing survival in disaster situations and had not received proper succession from the previous generation.
In fact, each of the five dragons, who were direct descendants of the Dragon God, had their own roles.
The calm and rational Cheongryong is the manager and judge of the Seal of Chamhoe-dong.
The warlike Red Dragon is a vanguard that actively responds to external conflicts.
Baekryong, who is calculating and reluctant to take risks, is the office manager who oversees the household affairs.
The insidious Black Dragon is a judge who gathers outside intelligence and eradicates traitors.
‘And the yellow dragon can be said to be a priest who symbolizes the connection with the dragon god.’
A powerful energy flowed from Hors’ body.
Of course, he was treated as a yellow dragon as a wild beast, and as he was not a real yellow dragon, he could not completely replace the role of a priest.
Gooooo—
The entity that fills in those shortcomings is the ‘Dragon Child’.
It was Zhuge Hyemi, a shaman and apostle sent to earth directly by the Dragon God, evidence of the miracle of world restoration.
“···Hmm.”
A heavy moan came from her mouth as she knelt down and prayed, holding a yeouiju in both hands.
‘I feel like my body is going to explode.’
Not only the other dragons that became the pillars of the ritual depending on the direction, but also the enormous energy that started from the Chamhoe-dong and flowed here was being sucked into the Yeouiju in his hand at once.
Horus, the yellow dragon, was controlling most of it, but even she, standing at the center of consciousness, could not help but feel a burden.
‘No, it’s still okay. ‘Compared to that time, this is at least!’
The moment I reunited with Ha Seung-hoon after being kidnapped by the Demonic Cult.
Compared to when he contacted the dragon god while blessing him, it was still only at a bearable level.
At that time, my consciousness was lost before I could do anything.
‘How much have I received so far, so I have to do this!’
Who else knows?
Could this be an opportunity to learn some special abilities from the dragons?
Because of what had happened not long ago, she longed for more strength so as not to become an obstacle to Ha Seung-hoon, so she gritted her teeth and grabbed Yeouiju.
That moment.
Pajik—!
A cracking sound escaped from her hand.
Yeouiju, as its name suggests, was a piece with a strong power of origin.
A mysterious crystal so famous that some say it can make any wish come true.
What’s more, isn’t the privilege of the system called “Yellow Dragon’s Orb” involved in this entire ritual now?
And the result of all that coming together is.
It was enough to twist some of the providence of this world and make a miracle happen.
Absolutely!
Between the cracks of the broken Yeouiju.
[Kyahang!]
With a faint cry coming from that gap.
A small yellow head suddenly popped out.
