Maxed Out Leveling Novel

Chapter 117

42. Dragon Blood (1)

– You’re so strong… … .

As much power as a broken body, the mental waves that are emitted are transmitted to the brain.

The boss monster, who had been lying on the floor and chewing on his helplessness for a while, asked carefully.

-Conversation… can i have a conversation?

– Yeah, let’s do it. It would have been great if it had been like that from the beginning.

Cha Shin Hyeon sarcastically. The captain, who secretly averted his gaze as if he was getting stabbed, continued.

-Please allow me to use magic for smooth conversation. I swear I’m never trying to harm you.

-Do whatever you feel like.

Even if he tried to swear, it was Goku on the palm of the Buddha’s hand. If you apply force to your feet immediately after doing something suspicious, you can make your heart explode. Cha Shin Hyeon generously agreed.

-Thank you.

Upon receiving the permission, magical energy leaks out of the captain’s whole body. The magical force that formed a shiny sphere the size of a ping-pong ball stopped just halfway between the two.

jig.

The sphere vibrated lightly, sending soft waves around it. The range that the wavelength reaches is about 5 meters in radius. It was not an energy with lethal power.

“It’s working fine.”

said the boss monster.

It’s not like we’ve been conveying meaning telepathically as before. It was upbringing from the vocal cords.

“Huh?”

Cha Shin Hyeon looked at the sphere of magical power with interest.

“What talent did you use?”

“It’s translation magic. It must be said that the concept of conveying meaning through mental waves has been extended to the outside world. The voices shared within the scope of magic function are converted and transmitted as meanings to each other.”

“It’s a different kind of magic. Well, okay. If you can just say it, I’m comfortable too.”

Even speaking plainly, it seemed to mean that the meaning was conveyed to the other party like Hyegwangshim. It is a completely different direction from the Chinese translator, which is based on the principle of magically complementing the imperfect voice translation technology.

Maybe someday I’ll be able to use it. Cha Shin Hyeon well remembered the flow of magical force he had just observed. I don’t know if the same effect can be achieved with magic.

“If you graciously cooperate with the conversation, I will give you some consideration. Don’t let me sit down.”

Cha Shin Hyeon cleared his feet and stepped back slightly.

“Thank you.”

In gratitude, the boss monster raised his upper body. He’s so tall that he’s at eye level with Cha Shin Hyeon just by sitting tall.

“Well then, shall I ask? what is your identity? It is very different from the existing monsters.”

“monster?”

“Is the interpreter not working properly? The beasts that originally appeared in this dungeon.”

“… I don’t understand exactly, but I can guess what you’re talking about. They are beasts, as you said, so they must be different from us.”

Cha Shin Hyeon tilted her head.

“Am I different from you?”

“Do you see yourselves as creatures similar to them? No, I’m guessing it’s called a monster or something. So are we. How could an intelligent being be united with a savage beast?”

It looked like an orthodox monster, uttering these pedantic words, so the sense of disparity was serious.

Fortunately, Cha Shin Hyeon has the fairness of not judging others by appearances. He was quite convinced.

“In other words, monsters have nothing to do with you?”

“Yes. They are nothing more than beings who accidentally crossed the gap between the dimensions. Animals are curious too. Or maybe they moved in search of a new area.”

“Then what should I call you?”The captain answered Cha Shin Hyeon’s question in a proud voice.

“We have inherited the blood of the great primordial dragon. We call us dragon blood.”

“… It’s a very easy-to-understand name.”

Cha Shin Hyeon nodded at the monster’s head, which looked like a dragon’s head. The dragon that is an imaginary animal and the dragon that monster is talking about may not be the same, but it is easy to memorize anyway.

“good. Then I will treat you and your subordinates as non-human intelligent beings called dragon blood, different from monsters.”

“You seem to be calling you human beings, don’t you?”

“People, humans, humanity. There is a difference in usage, but it is okay to call it whatever it is. But that’s pretty good. What I want to point out is.”

Cha Shin Hyeon’s eyes narrowed slightly.

“Unlike monsters that come over without knowing, Dragon Blood must have a purpose. Judging by the attitude of your subordinates who attacked them as soon as they met, it doesn’t seem like they came here with the intention of making friends or making friends with a smile. is not it?”

“… … .”

The captain was silent for a while. Unable to withstand Cha Shin Hyeon’s increasingly cold gaze, he struggled to open his mouth.

“… I will not deny I and my men came here for reconnaissance, but I admit that the true intention was an invasion.”

“Unexpectedly, you graciously admit it. Confessing the truth does not mean that I will forgive you.”

“know. It is the right of the winner no matter what disposition is given to the loser.”

The captain calmly admitted.

“But what I wanted to talk to you was that you listen to us once before you dispose of me.”

“So you are listening now. Tell me.”

“The reason we tried to come to this world was for the survival of the whole race.”

“survival?”

Cha Shin Hyeon narrowed her brow. The commander explained succinctly.

“Don’t be honest. In our world, a race called demons existed as two major forces along with dragon blood. However, in modern times, the dragon blood force has greatly declined, and the entire race is on the verge of extinction.”

“therefore?”

“The realm of dragon blood has been pushed to the end of the world, and it is in such a precarious state that it can no longer be reversed. I found it then. The dimensional rift that is occurring at the end of the world. It was still a small scale that even the weakest dragon blood could not overcome, but if it expands, the story will be different.”

“So you grew up? hole?”

It was an eerie voice that was sure to have very bad results if he answered incorrectly. The captain quickly and vehemently denied it.

“If we had that kind of ability, we would have implemented it sooner. Dimensional boundaries are not a concept that mortals can touch. We just looked at a few places where we can expect them to grow big enough in the future, and we just waited.”

“Did you come through there?”

“Yes. As we confessed earlier, our goal was to escape from the hopeless world and pioneer Shincheonji. But it would be a different story if there were people like you.”

The captain, whose pain had not yet subsided, groaned.

“If we become hostile to you, the damage we inflict is enormous. You are coming over to live, but if you take damage in the process of falling, your real message will be reversed. Of course, you too will suffer unexpected losses in the process.”

“What do you want to say?”

“Meet my lord. You deserve to talk to him. I don’t put my legs in the middle. Wouldn’t it be better to have a conversation rather than an unnecessary fight?”

“Aha, so.”

Cha Shin Hyeon grinned.

“I want you to live.”

“… okay.”

I really wanted to protest against the simplistic statement, but I couldn’t really refute it because it wasn’t wrong. I have to save him, so I can go back and put the bridge down.

Hearing the captain’s words, Cha Shin Hyeon fell into deep thought.

Killing him now is very easy. It doesn’t matter if you’re intelligent or what. Countless one-day puppies who died while shivering were not then human beings.

He is not kind enough to forgive those who climb up. He doesn’t have to worry about it, and it might be a neat way to just kill him.

But if you let him live… would it be beneficial?

That was very important.

Because it wasn’t his personal problem that a powerful monster popped out of the dungeon.

“It’s not an easy question to answer… … .”

Cha Shin Hyeon spoke slowly.

“Let’s check one out first.”

“What do you mean?”

“It is a matter of trust. Don’t be too offended.”

He made eye contact from the front with the person who was looking nervously. Cha Shin Hyeon’s eyes sparkled.

“Is everything you have said so far true?”

The power of the spirit moved.

* * *

Meeting room at Taegeuk headquarters.

Cha Shin Hyeon rented this place where video conferencing is possible for a while. For him who only knows what it is and doesn’t know how to do it, it is now natural for Lee Ji-hye to follow suit.

Big beam projector screen split in half.

The face on the right is Alex.

The face on the left is Linmei.

It was a remote meeting of hunters representing the three countries of Korea, the United States, and China.

Alex contacted me first saying it was urgent, but Cha Shin Hyeon also said that he had something to say and proposed a tripartite meeting. Alex, who thought it was something that China should know about anyway, agreed, and we got to where we are today.

“No, the death penalty! Isn’t it too much to come to a meeting with a lover in this situation?”

Like a witty American, he starts the story with a joke in the midst of this. Cha Shin Hyeon gave me a pin cup.

“I am the deputy guild leader of Taegeuk, the owner of this conference room.”

“So that’s what I mean. We have already been informed that she has a close relationship with her death sentence.”

“Oh, thank you.”

Lee Ji-hye greeted her elegantly. Cha Shin Hyeon laughed.

“You are even asking for a teleconference to inform you of the acquisition of such a critical piece of information. It must have been quite impressive.”

“It would be better if it was such a light topic.”

The joke was about that. Alex cleared his throat and opened his mouth.

“From our point of view last evening, there was a significant event in a dungeon in Hawaii.”

He explained in detail what he experienced in the high-risk dungeon. He confided about the kind of monster he had never seen before and the fierce battle he had ever seen.

“Are you on the same level as you?”

Linmei let out a moan.

She was much more shocked that way than using tools or speaking.

She didn’t know her exact level of defense, but it was certain that Alex was higher than herself. Even if you take it to the minimum, it will be at the level of dead Yangcheong.

That he struggled… If the same monster appeared in China, there was no one to stop it. Even if you mobilize a group of high-ranking hunters to block them, you will inflict great damage.

Agreeing with Linmay’s concerns, Alex said.

“So it’s a big deal. To be honest, I don’t think a good answer will come out of discussing it here, but I said that we should have a meeting with the intention of knowing.”

“Yeah, as the priest said, it’s a big deal. I already bumped into him and killed him.”

With a bitter smile, Cha Shin Hyeon touched her forehead. Alex was bewildered by the unexpected reaction.

“What, what was the reaction?”

“Actually, I went through something similar.”Cha Shin Hyeon recounted what she had been through.

Meeting a new monster in a dungeon on Jeju Island. subdue them and obtain information. That they are a race called dragon blood. Even roughly the reason why they come to Earth.

“The information was obtained by force of will, so there is no lie. Unless he got it wrong from the start.”

Cha Shin Hyeon woke them up, who had been silently listening. Alex was the first to come to his senses and ask a question.

“So it sounds like those monsters are coming to Earth?”

“It will be roughly the same.”

“No, this is not some refugee shelter! Whether they fight each other and die or not, you have to figure it out. Why are you trying to come to someone else’s land?”

The reaction was a bit more intense because he was an American who had a lot of trouble with illegal immigrants.

“I don’t know the cause, but there was a connection path between the two worlds, and because of that, I thought that I would cross over, so it’s hard to say that it’s their fault unconditionally. Of course, the situation itself trying to get over it is unpleasant here.”

Cha Shin Hyeon shook her head nervously.

“Anyway, I got an offer to talk to the guy who is his master, and I sent him back first.”

“I, by the way.”

Linmei spoke carefully.

“At first glance, it didn’t sound like the dragon blood race had a unified command system. It seems that the individuals you met right now are acting separately.”

“They are like scumbags, so maybe it is.”

“Then it wouldn’t be a problem if we had a conversation, wouldn’t it? If you say that your factions are different, you may ignore the opposing views to resolve it through dialogue… Moreover, Mr. Alex killed the opponent. If you get revenge and pull out more power… … .”

“I didn’t expect something like that to happen on Alex’s side.”

Cha Shin Hyeon smiled bitterly.

“Rather than this, I think it was better to let him live as a result.”

“Yes?”

“There may be differences of opinion among the dragon blood, but at least the one who saved me will talk about me. Even if you want revenge, if you know of my existence, you will not be reckless.”

“AHA… … .”

Lin May nodded her head. Next to her, Lee Ji-hye asked quietly.

“Then you’re saying that the author, Joo-gun, is coming to see Shin Hyeon soon?”

“They say the cracks are still not large enough. The current size is just enough for an individual of the level Alex or I was dealing with, and a stronger one needs to get bigger.”

“… It doesn’t sound very welcome.”

“okay. Whether you let him live or kill him, over time, a stronger one was supposed to come out.”

Cha Shin Hyeon’s voice subsided.

“And the bigger problem is… It is the existence of a race called the devil that he mentioned.”

“He said he was out of the fight for supremacy.”

“okay. At least he lost the dragon blood, which is thought to be much stronger than the human race. What if the demons later find a crack? So what if you want to come over to Earth?”

“… Disaster.”

Alex closed his eyes.

“Unless there is a way to close the rift, killing a few dragon dragons right now is not going to solve the problem. You have to think later. To do that, we need a conversation, so I sent him to life. I don’t know if it will work out.”

“Good job.”

Lee Ji-hye spoke on behalf of everyone. It was wiser to think of the possibility that a single survivor might turn into a potential enemy, rather than the possibility that he could open up a conversation. Cha Shin Hyeon’s choice made sense.

“then… What are you going to do? If we talk.”

“If it doesn’t work out, then I’ll kill you, and if it goes well… … .”

Cha Shin Hyeon’s eyes twinkled.

“I’m going to use it as a breakwater.”

They might be pretty useful.
