Chapter 238 – The Summer Queen (3)
Team: HH, thursdays, Yahiko
‘Heh… . . ’
Yeon-woo snorted unintentionally . He couldn’t believe the Martial King had the nerve to wave his middle finger in front of a large, threatening dragon .
It was so like the Martial King . It was so hard to understand him . Strength and relaxation . The arrogance of the strongest was natural for him .
And on one hand, he had this thought .
The Martial King was acting up, but his back seemed wide open .
[Nayu!]
Although the Summer Queen wasn’t in her right mind, she wasn’t stupid enough to not recognize when she was being mocked .
No, she became even angrier as she saw the Martial King act so shamelessly .
For a long time, the Summer Queen’s greatest obstacle was Allforone . She was passionate to see the top of the Tower more than anyone, but she hadn’t been able to go past the 76th floor because he was always blocking her .
After establishing the Red Dragon, she spent most of that time fighting against him .
And she always lost . She was 2nd place . She wasn’t able to surpass him . Her inferiority towards Allforone became a curse that bound her soul .
Just then, someone from the One-horned tribe arrived .
Nayu . When she first heard his name, all she thought was that he was a ‘new rookie . ’ She only knew of him because of a report from her subordinate .
The One-horned tribe . They were a Superior Species that was once equal to the Giant Species or the Draconic Species .
But the One-horned tribe threw away the holiness that was given to them like it was nothing . They even moved outside of the Tower on their own .
They said they weren’t going to depend on their ancestors and that they would forge their own destiny .
And in fact, even though they threw away all their duties, they were successful in building a territory of their own .
That was why the Summer Queen admired the One-horned tribe .
And she always advised her subordinates not to get into fights with them .
She wasn’t telling them to avoid the fight or to surrender . There was nothing she could do about it if they did fight, but there was no need to go out of their way to fight them .
It was a sign of respect from the Summer Queen . And the One-horned tribe knew this well .
Some time went by, and the next time the Summer Queen heard about Nayu was when he defeated her shadow .
Even then, she had thought he was ‘impressive,’ but that was it . He still needed 1000 years to catch up .
But after that, she heard that he defeated the ranker, Ice King . Next, he made it up to the 30th floor in record time .
From then, the rate at which she received reports about him increased .
Sometimes, she heard news about him every day .
The Summer Queen began to feel anxious . In the history of the Tower, was there someone who had grown as fast as him?
The Vampiric Lord Bathory, the Demon Hunter De Roy, and the Dark Philosopher Faust .
They were all people who had ruled during their eras .
However, they had never defeated the Summer Queen . They attempted the 76th floor, but they kneeled at the end .
Bathory used his drain energy, and De Roy and Faust used their demonic powers . But they all failed .
They had stated from the beginning that they could defeat the Summer Queen and Allforone, but the Summer Queen never felt threatened by them .
That was how strong and powerful she was . Nobody could threaten her but Allforone .
But for the first time, she felt like she was in danger—and it was because of a newbie whom she didn’t even know about .
Then, Nayu became the youngest king of the One-horned tribe, and he coincidentally met the Summer Queen in battle .
-Are you that dragon thing, old lady?
-O, Old lady… . . ?
-Hm? Did I say something wrong?
Dragon thing was enough to make her mad, but old lady? But Nayu didn’t seem to know what he did wrong .
He was just as she heard .
That was when the conflict between the Summer Queen and the Martial King began .
It was a tense battle . It was rough enough to make a few floors into a mess .
People cheered, saying that the Martial King was the new hope to help the Summer Queen defeat Allforone .
But this was embarrassing to the Summer Queen .
A newbie that hadn’t even lived 100 years was equal to her? It was nonsense .
But the Summer Queen’s attempts to defeat the Martial King failed every time .
Then, she realized that her focus was no longer directed above, to where Allforone was, but below, at the Martial King .
Her motivation for the last thousands of years had changed .
So she had turned away from the competition with the Martial King and turned her focus above .
But the sense of loss always bothered her . She would make him pay for this, as fitting of the Draconic species .
She promised herself to pay the Martial King back for the humiliation she received .
She said that she would rip the Martial King apart with her teeth .
And—
[If now… . . ]
She thought this was the perfect time to do it .
Far away, she could see the masked man standing behind the Martial King .
It was the person who killed Vieira Dune . He had been the most successful in the quest she gave . It meant that he was closest to the Philosopher’s Stone .
The aura he emanated was similar to hers . Her Draconic Eyes told her that he was hiding something .
Just then, the Summer Queen realized something . That masked man was behind all of this .
And the Martial King was defending such a person? Then she had to step on him . Along with the guy behind him!
[Give it!]
Kwang!
She kicked off from the ground . With Dragon Fear, her long body rushed at the Martial King .
From far away, it looked like a great mountain was moving .
“Disciple . Look closely at how amazing your teacher is!”
“Just don’t cry when you get beat up . ”
“That mouth of yours!”
The Martial King joked with Yeon-woo even as the fearsome aura rushed at him . He spread his arms wide apart, flashing his canines .
Boom!
Aura collided with aura . The world shook up and down . A loud explosion that sounded like another meteor came down and spread out around them .
Yeon-woo spread apart his wings of fire and used Blink to move to the back in case he was swept away by the magic power storm .
‘You have to win . No matter what . ’
While Yeon-woo was inwardly wishing for the Martial King’s victory, things were tense between the Martial King and the Summer Queen .

‘Seseungnim . ’
The Martial King pushed his arms against her mouth . His arms were tiny compared to her .
Kraaaa!
The Summer Queen cried out . She growled, trying to swallow the Martial King who was smaller than her mouth, but he did not budge .
It was a fight of power to push their opponent down . Power clashed against power .
Kwakwakwak—
The aura that emanated from them didn’t allow anyone else to interfere .
“Ugh, seriously . Lady, don’t you diet? You’re freaking heavy!”
The Martial King grimaced as the Summer Queen didn’t move an inch .
He had stepped up to save his disciple but this was the situation he was in . What was he doing as the teacher? It was embarrassing .
He had originally come this way to avenge his subordinate . After chasing the Bow God, he saw his disciple and stepped in .
If the guy with the suspicious mask behind him wasn’t here, he wouldn’t have stepped into such a noisy battlefield in the first place .
Disciple . A disciple . The word has always felt unfamiliar to the Martial King . It was a word that he could never get used to .
There were two fellows he could call his disciples, but they had only disappointed him .
One left saying he wanted to do his own thing, and the other left saying the path of the Martial King didn’t align with his own . Technically, they were failed products .
So when he accepted his third disciple, the Martial King tried not to become too attached . Just by a glance, his new disciple seemed to be more stubborn than the other two, and he was probably going to leave soon .
But such a guy was now depending on him . Sometimes he even looked at him with eyes of respect .
Like now .
Respect .
That word opened the Martial King’s heart .
‘If he looks at me with those bright eyes… . . ’
To regain his dignity as a teacher, he clenched his teeth . He would try to shine a light on his disciple’s path, even just by a little bit .
“Fuck . I can’t just sit back! Right?”
The Martial King laughed with his canines flashing . The veins popped out from his muscles .
“Arghh!”
Just then, the tables turned slightly for the Martial King . As he took step by step forward, the Summer Queen was pushed back .
Seeing the large mountain pushed back, the Nine Dragon Sons and the Red Dragon members who came with her had faces of shock .
“Mother!”
“Your Majesty!”
They knew that the Martial King was strong, but they had never once imagined that he was strong enough to push their owner back .
No, they didn’t even think about it .
It was something that couldn’t happen in their minds . In the Red Dragon, the Summer Queen was their god and lord .
Tom pulled himself together first .
‘This is it!’
As expected of the greedy youngest son, Tom was searching for the right time . He thought this might be his last chance . No, not only was this his final chance, but it was also an opportunity for him to become the oldest .
He would have to give up his position in the Nine Dragon Sons anyway, so he was going to turn it around by saving the Summer Queen .
Boom!

Tom kicked off from the ground and ran into the fight between the Summer Queen and the Martial King .
Their aura was enough to rip the atmosphere apart, but he didn’t care about such things .
The other Nine Dragon Sons realized what Tom was thinking and followed .
“That bastard!”
Especially the oldest of the Nine Dragon Sons, Bihee (贔屭) [TN: Means using one’s strength to the fullest] Waltz, ground her teeth .
As the first apostle of the Summer Queen, Tom’s attempt to take her position only seemed underhanded .
Kwakwakwang!
With Tom at the front, the other Nine Dragon Sons used their signature skills as well .
Fancy effects split the sky . Their strength was proved by the fact that they could catch their balance and attempt attacks in the midst of this fight .
And behind them, the other 81 Eyes joined in . Troy and the other high rankers attacked .
Their goal was the Martial King . They didn’t like fighting together, but they had to help the Summer Queen .
However—
“Who dares to bother our king?”
A sharp voice rang from the sky, and red lightning came down on the Nine Dragon Sons and the 81 Eyes .
Krrrrng—
The Nine Dragon Sons and 81 Eyes paused the use of their skill and tried to move back to escape .
They realized that they wouldn’t survive if they were hit with that blood-red lightning .
And they were right .
A giant crater dug into the ground where the lightning landed . It was like the Meteor Strike had appeared again .
However, the lightning didn’t end there .
Thousands of sparks connected on the ground, and everything around them turned blood red .
Fizz!
When they regained their sight, the faces of the Nine Dragons Sons and the 81 Eyes stiffened .
Tak!
An old man with one horn landed where the lightning had been .
He seemed like a scholar, but the vibrant red sparks around him made them shiver .
Fizz, pop—
“The Blood Red… . . Philosopher . ”
The ruler of the Tower along with the Devil Army’s Black Dawn .
But with the appearance of the Martial King, he had stepped back to become the Head Elder . Of course even the Nine Dragon Sons would be on their guards .
“I didn’t know people still recognized an oldie like me . I’m honored . ”
Actually, it was weird not to know him if you were a high ranker .
Even if he retired, he was once as powerful as the Martial King . Since there was another monster like the Martial King, the Red Dragon became nervous .
“I guess you’ll understand then . Even though he acts like a thug, he’s our king . If you bother him anymore—”
. It was the heirloom of the Cheongram family, and also the power that symbolized Phante . However, as the Head Elder, he had recreated the Lightning Control to create something that was as destructive as the Eight Extreme Fists .
It was called . The blood red lightning thundered like it was going to swallow them up any second .
“You’ll die . ”

Kwakwakwang!
The lightning around the Head Elder sparked around him again . Everything in his surroundings was swept away .
Krrrrr—
The Nine Dragon Sons and the 81 Eyes couldn’t muster the courage to face Blood Mine head on and fell back .
Although they were the executives of the Red Dragon, the Tower’s rulers, they were weaklings in front of a dominating power .
But there was one person who didn’t leave .
It was a woman with black hair all the way down to her feet . Bihee Waltz turned her body and reached out for the Blood Mine falling from the sky .
As a magic power storm whirled around her, dragon scales grew on her skin up to her eyes . The wings and tail on her back showed the birth of a new Dragon Human after Heaven Wing Cha Jeong-woo’s death .
Kwanggg!
Kwakwakwa—
Waltz struck the Blood Mine in her hand in the ground and ripped it with her hands .
The broken lightning dug into the ground . Dust clouds floated up, and a burnt smell spread all around them .
She hadn’t used her full power, but she was powerful enough to rip apart the Head Elder’s power .
It was unknown to the public, but as the oldest of the Nine Dragon Sons, she had surpassed the limits of a Dragon Human, and she had already awakened up to step 5 of the Authorities .
Except for the Summer Queen, there was no one who could defeat her .
“Did you just say we would die?”
Revealing her violent aura, she growled with a Dragon Fear that didn’t fall short of the Summer Queen’s .
“I’ll return those words to you . I’ll teach you what it means to resist the Red Dragon . ”
She spread her dragon wings apart and rushed towards the Head Elder in a single leap .
The Head Elder exploded the Blood Mine that he gathered in his hands . . Blood red lighting poured down on her .
Krrrngg, krrng, krrrrr—
And with that as the start .
Swekkkkk—
Kwakwakwang!
“Cover Waltz!”
“We have to save the Summer Queen!”
The 81 Eyes gathered again and ran .
In front of them, the warriors and Elders of the One-horned tribe clashed with them .
“We’ll be able to have some fun, hey?”
It was a battle between the Red Dragon and the One-horned tribe that was on a completely different scale than the war with the Cheonghwado .
