“Sluuuuuurp!”

In just one big bite, the sweet blend of the scent of olives and the sweet taste of the jjapaghetti spread in the mouth. However, the addition of the spicy flavor from the jjapaguri made it strangely addictive.

This time they took a piece from the egg and slurped the noodles. The slightly greasy flavor of the jjapaghetti and the soft texture and the flavor of protein from the eggs combined perfectly.

“Hmm. It’s very delicious since I made it with Conir.”

“Conir! Really delicious!”

After eating everything, Black Dragon was able to learn about Conir’s identity as they talked. He was his son, Minhyuk’s vassal! He also realized that the reason why he looked quite familiar was because he was the Slayer of Failure that gave them enough suffering in the battle against the Demon Corps. But compared to that time he did not feel any pressure from him. He was completely like a child.

And Black Dragon summoned Poison Dragon to play with Conir. His original name was ‘Poison Dragon Ambacca’ but he was much more charming and had a lot of aegyo compared to Destiny and Britney.

“Sit!”

Then, Poison Dragon sat down quickly.

“W, wow…… C, cool!”

“Stand!”

Conir watched in admiration as Poison Dragon moved with Black Dragon’s words. Before they knew it, Poison Dragon had lied down with his belly out in the open. Black Dragon smiled pleasantly.

Then……

“Dragon Tamer? Get out of the way.”

When Black Dragon turned his head, he could see dozens of people wearing golden robes.

“Ah, so I was in the way. Sorry about that.”

Black Dragon hurriedly moved out of the way with Conir. The people stood at the place that Black Dragon and Conir had vacated.

“It’s clearly a dragon…… but, it seems like the dragon did not find a proper owner.”

That was the voice of the man who had just said that they should get out of the way. However, he just replied to them with an easy smile. After all, Black Dragon and Conir were the ones who were blocking the passageway before.

“Hahahaha. But this guy is quite happy to be with me. Isn’t that enough?”

“Hmm.”

The man did not say anything anymore. Then, Conir spoke up.

“Wow! Gold robe! Wow! So cool!”

“......What’s wrong with this punk? Maybe he’s a dimwit?”

The man who was leading the group spoke as he tried to cut off the conversation with the two of them. Then, Black Dragon, who stood still, suddenly spoke up.

“That sounds a little harsh.”

Black Dragon’s brows furrowed when he heard his words.

“Do you say that when you see children like him in our society?”

“Shouldn’t you call a dimwit a dimwit? They mean the same thing, right?”

Black Dragon’s face wrinkled in annoyance.

“I want you to apologize…… These people that are part of our society are not what you say they are. They are just people who are uncomfortable and sick. In the end, as we grow older, there will be a part or two of our bodies that will become sick and uncomfortable. Isn’t it our job, as people who have learned ‘morals and kindness’ supposed to understand them and help them with their inconveniences?”

“Pfft. You must think that you’re someone just because you have a dragon with you?”

The people surrounding that man also chuckled at him. Black Dragon’s face began to harden as they continued to laugh at his words.

“I want to call him a dimwit, so what? You should just shut up and mind your own business.”

Black Dragon’s patience had run thin when he heard those words. His hand squeezed his left arm.

Let’s do that.

Craaaaaaaaack―

[Dragon Armor]

Gigantic white scales began to stretch out from Black Dragon’s arm. Not long after, the white scales covered his entire body. With the white scales covering his body, he looked like he was wearing brand new white scaled armor. The helmet was even in the image of a dragon’s head.

When Destiny and Britney evolved, they had acquired additional skills. And one of them was this ‘Dragon Armor’.

Dash―

Then, Black Dragon kicked the ground as he dashed forward. In just a blink of an eye, the man who just spat out those hateful words was now under the mercy of his hands. His hand grabbed the man’s neck as ice began to cover the man’s entire body. And when the man’s body was entirely frozen……

Crack!

The man’s body broke like fragile pieces of glass under Black Dragon’s tightened grip.

“Then, from now on, I will teach you what morality and kindness are.”

“......!”

“......!”

“......!”

It was only a moment. Only three seconds had passed. But in that short moment of time, one of their guild members was forced to log out.

Silence engulfed the entire area.

***

“......!”

“......!”

“......!”

Aincarr and the Golden Staff guild members were all left speechless. The guild member who was forced to log out earlier was the mage named Rove. Rove was one of the top 20 mages in France.

But you sent Rove out just like that?

‘Th, this is crazy. This means that he has a higher magical attack power than Rove’s magical defensive power?’

Aincarr was flustered.

Aincarr’s family was a fairly prestigious French aristocrat family. And because of that, he had never learned how to be considerate towards others. What he said to the boy was the reason why this happened. Basically, the situation right now unfolded from just mere words.

“Attack!”

Aincarr hurriedly ordered his men. The rankers under him quickly gathered. The mages began to prepare their magic while the archers loaded their bows with arrows. Then, they all fired their attacks.

[Piercing Arrow]

[A strong arrow that pierces the enemy’s vital point.]

[Dragon Arrow]

[A fire arrow shaped in the form of a dragon. Can devour the enemy.]

[Open Fire]

[Once the arrow is shot, it will only take 0.3 seconds to kill the enemy.]

Fwoosh, fwoosh, fwoosh, fwoosh, fwoosh!

Dig―

Black Dragon placed his weight on the tip of his toes. His feet dug the ground underneath as he dashed forward.

Dozens of arrows rushed towards him but something moved on his right arm.

“The guy on my left hand is going crazy!!!”

“......!”

“......W, what!!”

“Crazy bastard!”

They thought that he was just saying something crazy but hot flames suddenly began to form from Black Dragon’s arms.

Crackle―

A sword was suddenly formed from the burning flames that appeared from his arms. The flames were so strong that it engulfed everything.

The ‘Dragon’s Tear Sword’ was something that he had received together with the Dragon Armor. It was an artifact that changed Britney into the shape of a sword.

Shwaaaaaa―

When Black Dragon brandished the sword, a powerful force poured out of it and slammed into the incoming arrows.

Shwaaaaa―

Pipipipipipipipi―

The arrows failed to reach their target as they disappeared into nothingness. The strong force did not stop and even went forward to devour some of the guild members that were casting their magic from behind.

“Keu, keuaaaaack!!”

“Aaaaaaargh!”

“Keoheok!”

Aincarr’s guild members disappeared after receiving one shot.

‘Th, this is sick……!’

Aincarr was thrown into panic.

That man was single-handedly dealing with dozens of high ranking mages and archers from France. No, it was more like he was overwhelming them.

And although he was unaware, Black Dragon was now a candidate for a new line of job class, the Royal Class. The Royal Class would only be able to be challenged by those who had ranked top in their own job class. And even though he was still yet to transfer to the Royal Class, he was still several times stronger than before after Destiny and Britney evolved with the Dragon Orb.

Just like how 20 Lv400 users wouldn’t be able to compete against a single Lv500 users, they also couldn’t compare against the extremely powerful Black Dragon.

What was worse was that dragons were born with ‘magical defense’ and ‘magical attack’. So the moment the Dragon Armor and the Dragon’s Tear Sword were formed, Black Dragon would have a gigantic leap in his magical attack and defense. This was the reason why he could easily break through the enemy’s magical defense as well as deal powerful skill damage. He was also able to greatly reduce his enemy’s strong magical attacks.

Grab!

And once again, Black Dragon dashed forward as he quickly grabbed the neck of one of the mages in front of him.

Crackle―

[Destiny’s Wrath]

[A huge explosion of flame will erupt just like an active volcano erupting.]

Baaaaaaaaaaang―!

A huge explosion broke out as it engulfed the mages in the surrounding area.

Not long after, the mages finished their casting. Their skills began to go on a rampage.

[Fire Spear.]

[Lightning!]

[Fire Field]

[Firestorm]

Grrrrrrrrrrr!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Attack spells flooded Black Dragon. Then, Black Dragon punched the ground.

Crack!

A shield made up of gigantic bones sprang up from the ground. Black Dragon quickly hid behind the shield as he prepared for the incoming impact that would collide on his defense.

Baaaaaang―!

However, no matter how powerful they thought their attack was, they could not penetrate Black Dragon’s bone shield.

Then……

“I’m Conir!!! I’m angry too! You’re bullying Black Dragon!”

Fwoosh―

“Keok!”

Fwoosh, fwoosh―

Conir began to move quickly. His movements were quite elusive. In just a few seconds, Conir was able to log out some of the mages near him.

‘This is impossible……!’

Aincarr thought that this situation was completely ridiculous.

That hindrance is such a strong person?

Conir was already someone powerful so how could those mages who had low physical defenses and a basic HP amount withstand his blows?

Even the cute(?) Poison Dragon, who just had his belly up in the sky earlier, started to spray out powerful poison against them.

[Poison Dragon’s Deadly Venom]

[You will be left in a daze as soon as it hits you.]

[Nullifies magic casting.]

“Wh, what kind of bullshit is this?!!!”

“Goddamnit!”

The Golden Staff was among the top three guilds in France. The pillars of the guild were even in this place. So it was a moment of embarrassment for these people who believed themselves to be strong.

Just when the mages were starting to panic……

Baaaaaaaaang―

A gigantic bolt of lightning slammed on Conir and made him fly.

“Damn bastards! I did not want to use this.”

The attack came from Aincarr. He was currently holding a small wand with sparks flying on its ends.

It was the ‘Lightning’s Wind Wand.’ It was a legendary artifact. No, perhaps it was something that was far better than legendary artifacts. It was an artifact that showed a strength that was almost on par with Half-God artifacts. A powerful bolt of lightning would be unleashed in every swing of the wand. However, the mana consumption was 1.5x greater than normal. This powerful artifact that could unleash a bolt of lightning without any casting was a perfect complement for a mage that was considered to be the weakest in close combat.

The moment he brandished the wand……

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

Dozens of lightning bolts fell and struck Conir and Black Dragon.

“Keuheup!”

[You have been hit with a strong lightning bolt.]

[You will be stunned for 3 seconds.]

He was the top ranker in France’s mage rankings and he was also the second in the world’s mage rankings. So compared to the attacks of the other mages, his attacks could hit and damage Black Dragon.

Then, Aincarr spoke as he paused his attacks.

“Let’s call it a day. We’ll also apologize for what happened earlier.”

Aincarr knew that the damage between them would only increase if both sides continued to fight. No, to be exact, something far more embarrassing would happen to them if they continued to fight.

“I hope you will be kind to the people who are sick and unwell in the future.”

Black Dragon calmed down when he saw him speaking and trying to make peace with them even though he could attack them. Conir also stopped when he saw Black Dragon stopping.

“R, right. I got it. Kid, I’m sorry for this time.”

Aincarr spoke as he looked at Conir who was a distance away from him. However, deep inside he thought differently.

‘This dimwitted and disabled punk……’

Then, Black Dragon spoke.

“Let’s go Conir. We have received their apology.”

“Conir! I will follow Black Dragon ahjussi’s words.”

Both of them began to move.

Then, at that moment, Aincarr muttered something loudly without him realizing it.

“We should minimize our losses so we can kill the Frying Pan Killer. It’s the correct choice for us to stop here. Calm down.”

He was trying to make sense of what he should say to his angry guild members. Then…… Black Dragon suddenly turned back again.

“On second thought, let’s just kill them all here.”

***

Another monarch had appeared at the entrance to the Demon World. He was Monarch Arch, a fighter class who had both of his hands wrapped in bandages. He was also garbed in rough and rugged leather armor.

If Mage Monarch was in charge of leading the mages and archers units, Arch was in charge of the melee classes. He was also fourth in the world’s fighter rankings.

Unlike Aincarr, he was someone who was not designated in the Demon World. ‘Designated’ meant that they were assigned to that place.

Most of the summons and the return scrolls would only be applicable if they had been to those places before. And Arch had not yet visited the Demon World’s Tower so he had no stored area near the place. So he thought that he would get there quickly if he passed by this place.

More than 60 melee classes began to move quickly towards the Demon World’s Tower.

“GM-nim. The first person to kill the Frying Pan Killer will be rewarded by Callauhel-nim, right?”

“I suppose.”

Arch’s blood boiled in thought. As a fighter, he would feel a sense of camaraderie whenever he watched videos of the Frying Pan Killer. He even beat the Olympic gold medalist, Carr. That was the reason why he wanted to fight against the Frying Pan Killer just once.

‘Of course, it will only be a one-sided victory.’

Even if he was the Frying Pan Killer, he would still not be able to handle this number. So he continued to walk forward with that thought.

Suddenly, a man blocked their path. The man was wearing a black robe while holding a staff. One of the man’s sleeves was lowered since he was holding a staff. And from his exposed wrist, they could see a stark mark glaring sharply on his fair skin.

‘X……?’

Arch had also seen the manga One Diss so he could tell what the X mark meant.

“A friend’s token?”
