TL: Hanguk
After being cut off from the rest of the worlds, the residents of Omid believed that peace would finally come.
Because now destruction couldn’t invade.
However, there was no paradise to be found in their place of refuge.
As the threat of destruction disappeared, the Demon Army led by the Demon King of Sloth, Adrous, began to ravage Omid.
In truth, it was Adrous who had activated the dimension magic to isolate the world.
Adrous, lacking confidence in his ability to fight destruction, sought to isolate Omid and make it his dominion.
However,
“Why is the Black Dragon here?!”
When the great Black Dragon, which had descended upon Omid, became trapped alongside them, trouble arose.
“Who dares?! Who used the dimension magic to isolate this world?!”
The great Black Dragon flew into a fury and sought the one who had cast the dimension magic, while Adrous, hiding his Demon Army, desperately fled to avoid the dragon.
For decades, Adrous ran from the Black Dragon. Then one day, the dragon suddenly vanished.All rights © .
Even after the Black Dragon disappeared, Adrous spent several more years biding his time in hiding.
Only when he was completely certain that the Black Dragon’s presence had disappeared from Omid did Adrous summon his Demon Army once more.
Although the demon army suffered great damage from the Black Dragon, there was no one to stop the demon army in Omid without destruction and dragons.
The advance of the Demon Army was unstoppable.
Starting with the empire that once ruled over Omid being reduced to ashes within a year, many kingdoms fell to the Demon Army.
Some kingdoms, seeking survival, voluntarily submitted to the Demon Army. Others declared resolute resistance and were ultimately destroyed.
In the process, an enormous number of refugees were created, but there was no kingdom left to protect them.
It was then,
If you go to Mount Modin, the Great Black Dragon will protect you!
A rumor began to spread among the refugees.
Clutching at straws, the refugees braved countless hardships to head toward Mount Modin.
And as rumored, those who received permission from the Black Dragon were living within huge fortress walls.
“Welcome! This is the territory of the great Black Dragon, Elizabeth Pritani! You are safe now!”
These people welcomed the refugees within the walls, and the refugees settled in the land granted by the Black Dragon.
There, they prepared for the inevitable battle with the Demon Army while leading peaceful lives.
But that peace did not last long.
The Demon Army, which had conquered all of Omid, eventually turned its eyes toward the Black Dragon’s territory.
Without hesitation, they began their assault on the dragon’s domain.
Adrous, the Demon King of Sloth, was certain. Certain that the Black Dragon would not be able to act.
During his long investigation into dragons, Adrous had discovered a large bloodstain at the last known location of the Black Dragon.
A large bloodstain and the subsequent disappearance of the Black Dragon.
Connecting the two led to one conclusion.
A serious injury.
It was clear that the wounds sustained in the battle against the Apostle of Destruction had worsened.
When Adrous realized that the Black Dragon had suffered a fatal wound,
“Kuhuhu. This is my chance.”
He decided to go so far as to hunt the Black Dragon.
If he could obtain the dragon’s heart, becoming a Demon God of Sloth would no longer be an impossibility.
“Attack!”
“Bring down the walls!”
The Demon Army invaded the Black Dragon’s domain, but as expected by Adrous, the Black Dragon did not reveal itself despite its territory being under attack. ℞
Instead,
Boom!
Occasionally, it would unleash magic to annihilate the Demon Army, but the forces waiting in reserve far outnumbered those wiped out.
And seeing the Black Dragon unable to attack distant troops, Adrous became even more convinced.
The Black Dragon had weakened to the point where it could not even detect enemies far away.
Adrous continued sending troops, deliberately provoking the Black Dragon into repeatedly using its magic.
It was to make it more exhausted. No matter how fatally wounded, a dragon was still a dragon. Even one hit would mean his annihilation.
He had to exhaust the Black Dragon to the point where it couldn’t even resist his final strike.
And so, after years of relentless efforts, signs of the Black Dragon’s fatigue began to show.
The intervals at which it cast magic, once every hour, gradually grew longer. Then, a few days ago, the dragon stopped using magic altogether.
“It’s over now! The dragon’s heart is mine!”
Just as Adrous was nearly certain of his victory in the hunt for the dragon,
(Paes-spin!)
His plans crumbled due to a single golden bat that appeared using a technique with a strange name.
(Pip-pip! Did you tell him to attack me?!)
Before Adrous knew it, the golden bat, Paespaes, had appeared in front of him and was preparing to attack.
“Paes-spin!”
“Kuh!”
Adrous, the Demon King of Sloth, was struck by Paespaes’s attack and was sealed within a small stone.

99th Floor of the Black Tower
“Urgh… Aack!”
Sejun woke up to start his morning with muscle pain.
And then,
Meow…
Kueng…
Hearing Sejun’s groans, Theo and Cuengi rubbed their eyes as they woke up.
Knead. Knead.
Press. Press.
They hurried over to give Sejun a massage.
Though even their massages couldn’t help Sejun’s muscle pain yesterday, overnight, his muscles had adjusted to the strengthened energy that had been infused, and the soreness was greatly reduced.
“Thanks, you guys.”
Kihihit! Kking!
[Hehe! Butler, let me help too!]
“No, Blackie, you go fetch this. Oomph!”
Sejun gritted his teeth through the soreness and threw a rounded stone with all his strength.
Kihihit! Kking! Kking!
[Hehe! Got it! I’ll play fetch with you, Butler!]
Although his intention was to send Blackie away to avoid further disruption, Blackie, thinking it was playing a game with Sejun, happily ran off to retrieve the stone.
104.28.193.250
“Ah, that’s better.”
While receiving massages from Theo and Cuengi, Sejun checked a message that appeared before him.
[Due to the effect of
After checking the message
‘How much strength stat potential is left?’
He checked his stats.
Stats: Strength(10,237/16,122) Stamina(10,592/13,622) Agility(9,255/12,255) Magic Power(10,793/13,823) Mental Strength(3,000/5,000) Divinity(35.9934/100)
“Hmm?!”
Contrary to Sejun’s expectations, there was plenty of potential left in all his stats.
Each of his stat potentials had increased by a whopping 3,000.
Yesterday’s efforts had caused his muscle-strengthening technique to grow to the next level, raising his potential.
“Hehehe.”
All that hard work had paid off.
As a side note, Blackie had contributed to raising his Mental Strength, but instead of trying to get credit for it, Blackie,
Sniff, sniff.
Kking?!
[Where did it go?!]
was busily digging in the ground, searching for the stone Sejun had thrown.
Shortly after.
“Everyone, gather around!”
Sejun called his companions together to head to the 10th tower and attempted to activate the
However,
…
The power did not activate.
“Huh? Who’s missing? Let’s do a roll call. I’ll start. One.”
“Two, meow!”
Kueng!
[Three!]
Kking!
“Five!”
“Kkiruk!”
Sharalarang!
…
..
.
Mumu!
The roll call ended at eleven.
And then,
“Paespaes isn’t here?”
Sejun realized that Paespaes hadn’t returned yet.
Where did it go?
“Paespaes!”
Sejun quickly began searching for the golden bat.
At that moment,
“Meow?! Chairman Park, I feel yesterday’s pull coming from here, meow!”
Theo pointed toward a dimensional gate that Paespaes seemed to have created.
“What?!”
This is…
When Sejun discovered a small dimensional gate, approximately 15 centimeters in diameter, leading to Omid.
(Pip-pip! Elizabeth-nim, hello! I’m Hybrid Golden Bat, Paespaes!)
Paespaes greeted Elizabeth Pritani, Aileen’s mother, after obliterating the Demon Army.
Normally, it would have been impossible for Paespaes to face the mighty dragon, but Elizabeth’s energy was in a greatly weakened state.
Elizabeth, appearing frail, had curled her body tightly as though nursing an injury to her abdomen. Yet, she was trying her best to maintain the dignity unique to the great Black Dragon.
“Ah, So you’re Paespaes. Thank you for helping me.”
Elizabeth expressed her gratitude to Paespaes, as the situation could have become truly dangerous if Paespaes hadn’t appeared.
Normally, she wouldn’t have allowed Paespaes to approach her so easily, but she sensed Kaiser’s aura emanating from Paespaes, which was why she called him in.
And then,
There isn’t much time left.
In truth, Elizabeth was in no position to be picky or question the situation.
(Bahehe! It’s nothing! Elizabeth-nim, you’re Aileen noona’s mother! Of course, I had to help!)
“Oh! You know my Aileen?! My Aileen is… Urgh!”
Hearing Aileen’s name, Elizabeth twisted her body violently in pain. It seemed her movements had irritated her wounds.
Thud.
Overwhelmed by the pain, Elizabeth collapsed and dropped her head as she lost consciousness.
(Pip-pip! What do I do?!)
Seeing Elizabeth in such a state, Paespaes panicked, unsure of what to do.
After a moment of contemplation,
(Pip-pip! Sejun-nim will surely have a solution!)
Just as he was about to hurry back to the dimensional gate while thinking of Sejun, the most reliable and omnipotent(?) being he could trust and depend on.
“Puhuhut. Paespaes, so here you are, meow?!”
Theo, who used Meow-step, suddenly appeared in front of Paespaes.
With the liquid-like flexibility unique to cats, Theo had managed to squeeze through the narrow dimensional gate and find Paespaes.
“Meow?! But is this dragon-nim the mother-in-law of Great Hybrid Chairman Park, meow?!”
(Pip-pip! Yes! This is Elizabeth-nim, Sejun-nim’s mother-in-law! She suddenly collapsed, what should we do?)
“Puhuhut. Don’t worry, Paespaes! With my healing skills, I, Hybrid Vice Chairman Theo, will treat Chairman Park’s mother-in-law, meow! You go inform Chairman Park, meow!”
(Pip-pip! Understood!)
Flap. Flap.
As Paespaes flew off, Theo began to massage Elizabeth’s body with his front paws.
Flash!
Suddenly, Theo’s paws emitted a blinding light as he burned through a pile of money.
Realizing the severity of the situation, Theo spent every last coin Sejun had entrusted to him before his departure.
However, the amount wasn’t enough to heal the great dragon. Far more astronomical sums were required.
And then,
“Hel-nim, give me money, meow! If you don’t, it’s impeachment, meow!”
Having run out of money, Theo resorted to extorting Hel, the God of Merchants, as he worked diligently to heal Elizabeth.
***
(Pip-pip! I need to quickly tell Sejun-nim!)
Flap. Flap.
Paespaes flew hard using Paes-step and crossed the dimensional gate.
(Sejun-nim!)
The moment Paespaes passed through the dimensional gate and urgently called for Sejun,
At the gate’s entrance, Sejun, Cuengi, Blackie family, and the dragons of the Four Dragons Council were already waiting for it.
It was thanks to Ggomi, who had listened to Theo’s report through the spider-thread connection and relayed the situation to them, they were prepared.
“Paespaes! Quickly, put this on!”
Sejun threw a piece of skin over Paespaes, which belonged to the great Golden Dragon, Artemis Yul.
-Transform.
At Sejun’s command, Kaiser used dragon speech to transform Paespaes’s skin into that of a golden dragon.
The skin was taken from Artemis’s shoulder just moments ago while he was drinking.
“Kaiser! What are you doing?!”
Artemis protested angrily at having a piece of his shoulder skin suddenly removed away.
“Sorry. I’ll make it up to you with this.”
“Ahem. Two bottles.”
“Fine.”
The matter was resolved with two bottles of Electrified Golden Kiwi Wine.
(Pip-pip?)
With Black Dragon claws and Golden Dragon skin, am I now a Super Hybrid?!
As Paespaes was suddenly and inexplicably outfitted with Golden Dragon skin, it celebrated in delight.
“Paespaes, can you recreate the dimensional gate to Omid?”
Sejun asked.
(Pip-pip! Yes!)
Swoosh!
At Sejun’s request, Paespaes immediately created the dimensional gate once again.
However,
(Pip-pip? Why is the dimensional gate so much bigger?!)
Paespaes, noticing that the gate behind it had grown to about 70 cm in diameter, was startled.
Unbeknownst to Paespaes, during its absence, the dragons had analyzed Paespaes’s ability to create dimensional gates.
They discovered that one of the reasons why Paespaes couldn’t enlarge the gate was due to the physical limitations of its body’s durability.
A significant portion of Paespaes’s abilities had been used to protect its own fragile body.
So, the dragons replaced Paespaes’s skin with the Golden Dragon’s skin to allow Paespaes to use its abilities fully and
Thanks to this, the dimensional gate was now large enough for Sejun to pass through.
And then,
-Go.
Anton, controlling the Black Dragon statue, spoke in a cold voice and took the lead.
“Yes!”
Sejun quietly followed Anton, using Cuengi’s telekinetic powers to fly.
Although he had grown somewhat close to Kaiser, his relationship with his future father-in-law, Anton, was still very awkward.
So the two flew in silence and
…
A suffocating, murderous silence hung in the air.
At that moment,
Kking! Kking!
[Butler! Don’t be scared! I’ll protect you!]
Blackie, dangling from the sling bag, barked fiercely at Anton, thinking Sejun was intimidated by him.
“Pfft.”
You, a sunfish, are saying that?!
Thanks to Blackie’s bold behavior(?), Sejun was able to laugh a little.
Shortly after,
-Elizabeth!
Mother-in-law! Son-in-law Park has arrived!
Sejun finally came face-to-face with Aileen’s mother, Elizabeth.
