Swoosh
L, who helped Al lose his mind, teleported away.
Jaehwang, who stared at the spot where they disappeared, breathed a long sigh as if he had lost his strength.
-Phew…
It was the most difficult and dangerous battle he ever had.
Aside from Goongi’s faster-than-expected dominance of the new dragon Al, there would have been no cleaner victory like this if the Dragon L had been a more cautious one.
-Good work.
-That was a good meal.
Though Goongi spoke triumphantly as if it were nothing, Jaehwang, who knows the reality, can’t help but laugh.
There were several reasons why Goongi was able to overpower Al so quickly.
The first was that Jaehwang had a pre-emptive battle against L so that he could analyze Dragon’s capabilities as much as possible. There was a big difference between fighting with knowledge and fighting without any knowledge.
The second was that Jaehwang distracted Al. Jaehwang drew his attention by making a charge first and when he came close, he took out Goongi and at the moment when Al was confused.
The third was that L was ignorant of their latest modern weapons. It would not have been so much baffling if it had known that a laser orbiting satellite could only attack that area at a specific time and that the attack was purely made out of light.
The final and fourth was that Jaehwang and Goongi proceeded with a battle in a way that only maximized their strength. It would have been more exhausting if the dragons used their strengths and magic in the battle against Goongi and Jaehwang. Or there could have been quite a sacrifice if the dragons had used powerful monsters under their influence.
Of course, there was a reason why the dragons failed to show their strengths.
They didn’t use teleport throughout the battle, the magic that Jaehwang was most concerned about before entering the fight. Later, the tip-off was that the teleport was quite dangerous for a combination of reasons when fighting a character like Jaehwang or Goongi.
Anyway, Jaehwang subjugated two dragons, but he sent them back to Elus for now.
Of course, he didn’t send them without any condition. He had pledged to summon them the moments he sets out to conquer dark earth.
Though Goongi complained about why he would send them back, Jaehwang saw that the dragons were like poison for the Earth. Just as humans have had an adverse effect on Elus, they have also been able to have an adverse effect on Earth. No, they were more dangerous than humans.
Although dragons were completely different than them, this expression would describe the dragons in a short way
‘A strong psychopath without reins.’
Although there was a covenant, it was not necessarily an absolute one, considering what Goongi explained the last time. If they were determined to break the law, they could easily get away with a small penalty. Moreover, it was unclear how they would react if they found out about Jaehwang or Goongi’s weakness. So, Jaehwang decided to let them go to Elus.
-I think they’re going to make more trouble if I keep them with me anyway…
Jaehwang shook his head and took his hand to his headset.
-The battle is over.
-Yes! I’m on my way.
The voices of those cheering were heard through the headset. The voice of the person who answered Jaehwang was also shaking. Well, they must have been pretty devastated when another dragon appeared. After all, they were all successful in the raid – but they were probably on the edge of their seats while watching their battle.
-What happened to the monster waves heading to the bases?
Oh, yes. As soon as the dragon disappeared, all the monsters were destroyed. Currently, each base had a monster task force in place to prepare for the launch in order to reduce the number of dragons
-I see, that’s great.
Confirming that everything was settled smoothly, Jaehwang then said, looking at Goongi, who was now turning herself into a beautiful lady while licking her hands,
-Now, let’s go home.
-Okay

The world was engulfed in festivals.
Everyone chanted the Archery Master and cheered him. It goes without saying that the feeling had become so intense that it had reached the level of religion. Even when the world was on the brink of ruin because of the monster’s appearance, it was perhaps natural to try to worship this young, handsome man who could be seen and cheered on over the silent gods.
Everyone would have agreed if Jaehwang had officially declared his advancement to the new world while saying, ‘Fall down and worship me.’
However, Jaehwang was wary of such popularity — no, he was rather active in appealing that he was still the same person. Some people asked if it was necessary, but Jaehwang was well aware that the cult of the Three Sky was one of the most harmful things in Korea.
Simply confined to Korea, the culture of the Three Sky Religion was harmful; that means, considering the popularity of Jaehwang, if he himself became a religion, it could be more intimidating than the threat of monsters.
Countries have welcomed the official announcement by Jaehwang.
This was because Jaehwang, who has an invincible influence as a single person, had given up on himself the power of the public he could gain.
Of course, Jaehwang did not give up even the right he should have.
Several countries have offered him smelly proposals to conquer the Elus together.
Of course, such people did not even see Jaehwang’s face.
Some used violent words and deeds when Jaehwnag didn’t do as they wanted but backed away after paying price for their deeds.
They could not protest against him.
Who could blame Jaehwang?
No, no one could even express one’s dissatisfaction. Jaehwang, who alone raided the dragon, was a fearful figure, but also, it was his absolute card called Goongi, that used during the battle with the dragons.
The violent intensity and cruelty had come as a shock and horror to everyone, especially when they saw Al getting silenced in just five minutes. The satellite images were sent to the world, so there was no CG or sensory camera technology in use at all.
It wasn’t even necessary.
Goongi turned the powerful dragon into rags at once.
However, Jaehwang, who owns such a fearful being as Goongi, was also invited by someone who could not be ignored.
Jaehwang agreed to the invitation of someone who suggested to him to discuss the matters related to Elus’ Three Sky Religion.
The night before leaving he left the U.S., Jaehwang stayed at a lush reception room in the white house.
The man sitting on a chair while looking at the tablet stood up as Jaehwang stepped inside as he raised his hand. When Jaehwang held his hand, he shook his hand furiously and said,
-I can’t express my feelings right now for shaking hands with God.
A white man in his mid-50s, who neatly combed his blonde hair, said that to him with a smile.
-Your Korean is fluent.
-Oh, is that so? Haha. It’s only been six months since I learned it, but it’s such an easy and beautiful language to the point that I’m into the fun of reading through Korean music and books these days.”
-Is that so?
The first impression wasn’t too bad. So far, they are known to be the members of the secret association that controls the axis of evil or the back of the world.
-Oh, I better introduce myself. I’m James Rothschild from the Rothschild family.”
I’m Jaehwang, the patriarch of the Martial Arts House.
The family that controlled the world’s economy even before the monsters appeared.
Since the family was so influential and mysterious that it was at the center of various conspiracy theories, they also appeared in the textbook that Jaehwang had read before.
The family has been a major pillar of the global economy in the past. Although even after monsters have emerged, they had been at the forefront of a new economic wave through a new growth engine, particularly the Mana Stone, almost monopolizing 40 percent of the Mana Stone market along with the rare metal market.
Jaehwang had been told that this family was the root cause behind the U.S. becoming the strongest nation to Raid and to maintain the national stance of the Elus offensive.
The tea time began and James, who introduced himself as a part of the Rothschild family, had told many stories related to Jaehwang.
He didn’t stop talking as if he really liked to talk.
-I once made a bet with my friend about how much money it would take to change his nationality to your nationality. Oh! I’m sorry if you feel offended. When we were talking about it, you were harvesting tier-nine monsters. Our family went wild because at that time you were picking up tier-nine monsters as if you were picking up stones on the side of the road, we know how hard it was to hunt those kinds of monsters.
-Why?
-You know, as the age of coexistence with monsters emerged, our family has poured all our power into the monster industry. We’ve been dominating the market little by little for decades, and all of a sudden, we’ve been flooded with tier-nine mana stones. Everyone couldn’t predict the future, so I had to worry.”
-I didn’t release the Mana Stones.
-Oh, I’m really grateful for that but from the point of view of the controller, all the mana stones you have are like potential bombs.
Jaehwang nodded at James’ words.
Of course, he didn’t bother to say that about half of the nine-tier mana stones he had was now in the belly of a lady. And if he was going to go on about this nonsense, Jaehwang didn’t even want to stay seated anymore.
-By the way, I came here thinking that you wanted to discuss the Three Sky Religion. Does that have something to do with that?”
-Yes.
Nodding his head, James straightened his posture. Then, with a serious look that he had never shown, he began to talk.
-Do you know about the secret mana stone market that spreads all over the world?
-Yes, I know.
Jaehwang nodded. Not only does he know it well, but it has also been mentioned a few times in what Jaehwang had done. The closest thing to this was when the Somali warlords were overthrown. They had built a huge fortune by secretly supplying mana stones produced in their own country to the world.
It was also known that there were many mana stones that were distributed through villains who do not have the right to trade Mana Stones. Perhaps the rise of the secret mana stone market was inevitable.
-Then do you know that some of the mana stones on the market were the financial arm of Three Sky Religion…
-I didn’t know that.
Jaehwang shook his head.
In the Invincible Palace, the government reported that that religion no longer existed in Korea.
James then replied with a serious look.
-They are now committing crimes against humanity worldwide with that money.
-What kind of crime?
Jaehwang asked.
-Human trafficking.
Human trafficking refers to the kidnapping of people.
James went on…
In the past, Three Sky Religion had consistently sold Mana Stones to the secret Mana Stone market.
Until the emergence of Jaehwang, it was quite well kept as a secret. But after Jaehwang emerged and shook Three Sky Religion, the whole amount was slowly disclosed as well as what they were doing with the funds.
-You are saying that they are buying people with the money they got from selling Mana Stones and transporting them to Elus?
To be exact, they were slaves, not people.
With that said, James showed Jaehwang some videos.
The video, which appeared to have been shot directly from the Kingdom of the Three Sky Religion, showed dozens of people being brutally burned alive.
-Our family’s attack team, which was deployed to save the kidnapped people six months ago, failed, and everyone who tried to save them was burned like this. We can’t find the team’s current location at the moment.
After a brief pause, James opened his mouth with a slightly mixed look.
-And those included people from my family.
