Chapter 113: Legendary Beasts Successor (4)
“… . What?”
Didn’t the Void Dragon die?
Yeon-woo’s eyes became bigger, and the same voice from earlier echoed in his head . It was the same way of communication as the Phoenix .
It was definitely the Void Dragon .
[Kehahat! I wondered what kind of guy the Phoenix had a fondness for . If you’re here, you also know what’s happening . Then you have quite the motivation, hm?]
Yeon-woo felt wide-awake .
“Are you really the Void Dragon?”
[Kinda weird that the guy who woke me is saying that, isn’t ie? Kekekek . ]
“What…?”
Yeon-woo was going to ask what the Void Dragon meant, but trailed off because he had a thought . He didn’t have the qualification to collect a soul that he didn’t kill . Even if he could, the Void Dragon’s tier was too strong, so he didn’t know if it was possible .
To be precise, this didn’t seem to be a soul . What if it was a remaining vestige of the Void Dragon?
Chirp!
Then, Chirpy spread his wings, and confidently stood face to face with the Void Dragon .
[I see . You’re the one that’s taking over the South instead of that arrogant bastard? I guess you’re her kid . This is amusing . A player that’s taking care of a Legendary Beast . I’ve never heard of this before . Well . I guess this is why I woke up . ]
The Void Dragon was busy snickering at Yeon-woo . How was he able to read the Phoenix’s energy on him?
Yeon-woo let out a laugh in disbelief . Just his vestige was able to have this much will . Legendary Beasts were definitely different .
Soul and vestiges were different . Soul was the existence that existed along with the physical body, and vestiges were the remains of the existence .
Easily said, it was like the difference between the Sun and it’s shadow . Although there was that much of a gap in power .
[When you’re as powerful as me, you don’t need to worry about that kind of stuff . ]
Yeon-woo tightly closed his mouth in front of the arrogant Void Dragon .
‘Was he always this talkative? The diary definitely said that he was a character that didn’t like to be bothered . ’
Maybe it was a new development after being attacked by the Saber God . The Void Dragon had fought the Saber God, so Yeon-woo would be able to learn new information from him .
However . The Void Dragon spoke before Yeon-woo could .
[Anyways . I’ve been watching you ever since you woke me up . It’s interesting that a fellow who handles death like you is loved by the Phoenix, but you seemed rushed . It was fun to watch . ]
The Legendary Beast’s were existences that lived off of dreams, so they could read the player’s thoughts somewhat . The Void Dragon was talking about Yeon-woo’s concern for the future .
[You’re thinking of fighting the guy that rudely woke me up . Right?]
There was no need to hide it . Yeon-woo nodded his head .
“If possible . Yes . ”
[Even if you might get killed? I’m fine, since I can just be reborn in the Void, but you only have one life, eh?]
“It’s a request from a friend . ”
Yeon-woo stroked Chirpy’s friend .
Chirpy once again chirped proudly, as if bragging that this was how amazing his friend was .
Edora just quietly watched them from behind .
[But that’s reckless bravado?]
The Void Dragon twisted his words like he was making fun of him .
“But don’t you think I should at least try? There could always be variables . ”
The Void Dragon laughed like Yeon-woo was foolish .
[So? That’s the path you’re taking?]
“Yes . ”
But Yeon-woo firmly nodded his head again .
“Right now, isn’t it the Void Dragon in front of me?”
Yeon-woo used his Draconic Eyes to see the existence in front of him . There was a young boy . He seemed to be a 7 year old based on his appearance, but a dense Void was following him .
It was the illusion made of the Void Dragon’s vestige .
The illusion crossed his arms and lifted a corner of his mouth .
At that moment .
Yeon-woo’s surroundings turned pitch black . He was trapped in darkness . A lightless area that seemed like it would suck in everything . A place where life, death, and souls would disappear .
Yeon-woo got shivers . This wasn’t the place anyone with a soul should be .
The Void .
Yeon-woo felt like his consciousness was spinning round and round the room . But on one hand, Yeon-woo felt a coziness despite his fear .
He didn’t know why .
However, one thing he was sure about was that this Void could erase him any second . It was the power of someone who was born from the Void, even though they had died .
[So . I can interpret that as you’re willing to use me if needed?]
The variables that Yeon-woo talked about . The Void Dragon sinisterly laughed . The Legendary Beast’s were haughty creatures . But to think that right after he had died, this guy was saying upfront that he would use him .
Although the Void Dragon showed the will to kill if Yeon-woo made one tiny mistake, Yeon-woo nodded his head .
“Then you wouldn’t have spoken to me first . There’s no reason for an existence that thinks everything is useless would have taken an interest in a human like me, right?”
The reason why the Void Dragon suddenly became talkative . Yeon-woo thought it was because he was testing him .
A drop of sweat slid down his face . As fear crept in, his body screamed like it was going to go crazy .
And when the sweat dripped off his face disappeared into the Void .
[Puhahahat! This guy is better than I thought . ]
The Void Dragon chortled .

Yeon-woo’s thoughts were right . The Void around him went away like it had never been there, and he was back in the forest again .
Yeon-woo let out a big breath . He felt like the Void that had been creeping against him was still there .
Chirp chirp!
Chirpy protested like he realized what the Void Dragon did .
Of course, it wasn’t like the Void Dragon was gonna listen to him . He snorted and spoke to Yeon-woo .
[Ok . Fine . You have to have at least that much confidence to get something done . I hate guys who bark and don’t bite . ]
The Void Dragon continued, twisting his lower lip .
[I despise being woken up from my sleep . More than dying . That guy not only woke me up, but he took my Neidan and heart . ]
Anger could be heard in his voice .
[I’m not strong enough to leave this territory in this condition, and I’m not patient enough to wait around being reborn in the Void again . But then you appeared . ]
The Void Dragon wanted to test Yeon-woo . If he was a normal human, he would’ve ignored him, but there might’ve been something special about him since he had received the Phoenix’s liking .
And the result .
[You have received the acknowledgement of the Void Dragon and achieved the hidden quest ‘Test of the Void Dragon . ]
[You have accomplished something that is not easily accomplished . Additional Karma is being rewarded . ]
[You have received 5,000 Karma . ]
[You have received an additional 3,000 Karma . ]
[You are being rewarded with the ‘Void Dragon’s Favor . ’ Affinity with the Void Dragon has dramatically increased . ]
[Affinity with tree property has increased by 50 . ]
[Affinity with dark property has increased by 50 . ]
[Thunder property . … . ]
[But even if you fight against the Saber God now, there’s still a wide gap between you . I’ll lessen that for you . ]
[The Void Dragon has suggested a second test . Will you accept?]
Yeon-woo felt his eyes widen . The second test . He had wanted to receive a test from the Void Dragon anyway . Yeon-woo quickly nodded his head .
[Hidden Quest / The Void Dragon’s Second Test]

3 . ???
[Alright, with this, the contract is done . ]
The Void Dragon smiled so widely his canines could be seen . And his existence scattered into thousands of pieces of the Void and started to permeate Yeon-woo’s body .
“Hup!”
Yeon-woo shot up straight .
He could feel a colossal amount of magic power entering his body .
A strength made up of tree, dark, and thunder property . The vestige was being absorbed by Yeon-woo .
[The big pieces have been stolen so this is all that’s left…but I hope this will help at least a little . ]
It was a present to somehow decrease the gap between the Saber God and him . The Void Dragon’s vestige started to fade away and melted in his Magic Circuit .
[You have received the ‘Blessing of the Void Dragon . ’]
[You have absorbed a great amount of magic power at once . ]
[Strength has increased by 15 . ]
[Dexterity has increased by 10 . ]
[You have earned the title ‘Contractor With the Void Dragon . ’]
Some time passed before Yeon-woo opened his eyes again .
The Void Dragon had said it wasn’t much, but it was a big amount to Yeon-woo . It made him feel like he had eaten another Akasha’s Snake .
Thanks to that, he was able to fill a part of his Magic Circuit, which had grown because of Holy Fire . However, he was still lacking in magic power .
But if comparing just the total amount, his Magic Circuit had increased by about 1 . 5 times the original amount .
‘Unlike the Phoenix’s inheritance, it’s a lower leveled blessing, but this is still pretty impressive . ’
The Void Dragon’s vestige was gone now . It seemed like it had only remained here to give the power .
Yeon-woo turned around to look at Edora .
To Edora, it looked like Yeon-woo had swallowed a Legendary Beast whole, so she as staring blankly at him, and then she nodded her head .
They needed to quickly catch up to the moving Saber God .
The next location was the North . The Abyss Turtle .
Boom!
A big shape fell to the ground . The Earth’s axis shook up and down .
It was a Legendary Beast that looked like a hybrid between a large snake and a turtle . It was the Abyss Turtle .

“Mm . ”
“Are you alright, sir?”
Cheonghwado’s players looked at the Saber God with worrisome faces . The Saber God didn’t respond and slowly twisted his neck and his shoulders .
Crack .
Everytime he did that, the sound of his muscles and bones moving back in their place could be heard, but he didn’t care .
“… . . This is tiring . ”
And the Saber God sat down on a nearby rock like he couldn’t do it anymore .
Today . He had to fight 3 big battles . They were all battles that he would’ve had to recuperate for one month . However, he had done it continuously .
So the Saber God was only able to do it by unsealing ‘Six’ after receivng permission from the Sword God . , and he had just gotten the Abyss Turtle .
And now, he was feeling extremely tired .
‘If we had opened ‘Seven’ as well, it would’ve been easier . ’
The team leader of the Madodan had a wistful face as he looked at the Saber God from behind .
But he understood why the Saber God had done that . His pride would never let him . Even if it was a Legendary Beast, it was only the 11th floor .
If they used Seven, who symbolized the full force of Cheonghwado, what would all their accomplishments come to?
“Saber God, why don’t you take a rest and…”
“No . It’s fine . The Legendary Beasts have probably realized what’s happening to them, and Red Dragon will come after sniffing us out . We need to finish it before then . ”
At the Saber God’s firm response, the team leader stepped back .
If the other Martial Gods had helped, it would’ve gone faster, but they were all doing their duties . There was no one other than the Saber God to do this job .
He didn’t realize why they had to put themselves through this, since it wasn’t like it was easy .
But there were always reasons for why the Sword God did the things he did, and so no one questioned him . The Sword God’s words were unconditional .
If there was one silver lining, it was that there was only one left .
“Then let’s go . ”
The Saber God got up and picked up the iron box on the floor . Madodan quietly followed him .
Like the Saber God’s personality, they all moved quietly .
The only sound was from the Saber God’s nine swords clacking around against the iron box .
