Ep.197 The God
[Stardust!], the original comic book about this world where you can feel the malice of biting the main character
If you wonder how they can bother the main character more than this, in the second half, Stardus was even bullied by ruining the power balance.
Dozens or hundreds of villains suddenly pouring into South Korea. The appearance of divine beings and the two-dimensional monsters are just a mess.
…Of course it is, so I’ve set up some devices for this ludicrous original. I raised Stardus, and gathered only the strongest people to form a villain union.
But I still feel like there’s something lacking.
I still crave more. It means that I want to recruit more powerful people and those who are the main culprits of power inflation.
So now, I’m in a cave on this snowy mountain.
To wake up the one who’s asleep here.
“Hmmm… Hey, are you sure he live here? It’s just a cave?”
“I’m not sure if it’s a person, but there must be someone for now.”
I only told that much to Choi Se-hee, who was looking around. We’ll see each other soon anyway.
That’s how we went into the cave.
Finally, I could see her.
“…Wow.”
Choi Se-hee opened her mouth as if she couldn’t believe what she was looking at.
And standing next to her like that, I was looking up at it together, huge.
A giant white dragon lying proudly in front of us.
“…..”
I don’t know why there is a dragon in the mountains in the 21st century in Korea, but it was there anyway. A white god, in the form of a dragon.
“What is this…”
“It’s a god. She’s lived for almost a hundred years.”
“No… I never imagined there would be something like this…”
Choi Se-hee, who was not surprised by the Death Knight and black tentacles sticking out of the ring, was admiring the dragon for the first time.
The dragon finally opened its eyes to the commotion we caused.
“…..?”
A god who opened her eyes and looked down at us.
The dragon-shaped god yawned loudly, and soon muttered, spreading its wings with sleepy eyes.
“I can’t believe you’re breaking through… You’re the first case.”
The dragon, who spoke in such a huge voice as if he were sleepy, said so languidly to us and settled down comfortably.
Anyone can tell that he’s not wary of us or hostile to us. Rather, she looked down at us as if he was amazed.
This is the nature of this god. Of course, I came because I knew this personality beforehand. Should I say that this is the relaxation coming from his overwhelming power..
So under the dragon’s gaze, looking down at us with interest, I greeted the god,
“Good evening, my God. I came to see you.”
“Do you know me? That’s amazing… Everyone here would have forgotten me.”
In front of the gaze that looked at me with interest, I organized my thoughts on the dragon in front of me, organizing what I had to say to him.
The pure white god that has long protected this mountain.
It’s said that she, who flew to this place in the distant past and kept her place, once hung out with humans and protected them.Anyway, I have to convince her now. Let’s do that together.
Under the gaze of looking down so languidly as if penetrating me, I prepared to shake off the gills in earnest.
Before that.
“Se-hee, can you step back for a moment?”
“What?”
“I have something to tell this person for a bitt. I’ll be done in a second.”
“Uh…okay. I’ll be near the entrance over there.”
Perhaps she noticed that things were going wrong, and Choi Se-hee quietly nodded and stepped down for a while.
The giant dragon who sent her away without saying a word while looking at her like that. Soon after, even the sound of Choi Se-hee’s footsteps disappeared, the dragon opened its mouth again.
“I don’t think you really want to let that kid hear it, so I blocked the noise. Now, tell me.”
…Well, thank you for your consideration.
As expected, I opened my mouth after reconfirming her once again, who was rather nice, unlike her appearance in the original.
All right. From now on, it’s real.
“Dear God.”
“Do you remember the covenant you made before?”
“…It’s an oath.”
It’s been a while since I heard it.
Looking at the figure muttering like that, I continued in a confident manner.
“Soon, this world will be destroyed.”
“To prevent this, I need your help.”
“…..”
The white dragon looking down at me, still expressionless.
And I said something to the god, like hitting a wedge.
“If you doubt it, you can check it out.”
“Hmm…”
I know from the original. That the god can confirm the true meaning of the other person’s words. And how can I say… I heard that she can get a glimpse of the essence? Basically a creature of God.
As if slightly interested in what I said, the god, who opened her eyes slightly, immediately raised her arm.
Then, the blue light in the space.
And at the same time, my head got a little dizzy.
“Hmm…”
When I stumbled for a moment, the dragon snooped its head as if it was interesting to see all of my head in that short time.
“Hmm… Is that so. Are you from another world? It’s interesting…”
She’s so interested in me.
Yeah, now’s the chance. When she’ll be interested in me.
Maybe if she had gone through my memory, she wouldn’t have seen everything, she’d only know the rough stuff.
In other words, from now on, if I want her to be on my side, I have to use highly sophisticated rhetoric.
After putting a slight smile on my face, I was ready to spit out words from my mouth.
Now.
Let’s get started.
***
“Ah… It’s cold.”
The cave at the top of a snow mountain.
Choi Se-hee, who was rubbing her hands at the entrance, was waiting for Da-in to come out after recruiting.
She was wondering if she could hear anything, but it was quiet.
“Are you having a conversation or not…”
What kind of dragon is she?
That’s what Choi Se-hee felt when she saw the big white dragon. Of course, it’s not surprising that there’s an ability to turn into a dragon in a world of all kinds of abilities, but it’s still a mysterious sight…Da-in. She has no idea how he knows all that and goes looking for it.
But, anyway.
“It’s too quiet…”
It was Choi Se-hee talking to herself for no reason and looking back.
The dragon didn’t show any animosity between the two of them, but I’m still nervous just in case.
She has to save Da-in in the end, she was thinking that. Even if it means fighting that house-sized dragon.
When Choi Se-hee was reflecting on her will alone.
Behind her, she heard footsteps.
‘Is he done?’
Choi Se-hee looked back with relief.
Then the figure of Da-in walking this way, seen from afar.
There was no sign of a dragon.
“….Success or failure?”
As she squinted her eyes.
Behind Da-in, she could see another person walking along.
Who is that?
So they came to her in no time.
Da-in smiled awkwardly and introduced Choi Se-hee to the person behind her.
“It’s done. Let me introduce you, that god from before.”
“Yeah. Now I can officially say hello. Good to see you.”
The person who came out from behind Da-in.
She was a beautiful woman who spoke in an old fashioned way with white robes and black hair behind her.
“…Again?”
“Hmm?”
“N-Nothing. Nice to meet you, I’m Choi Se-hee.”
Choi Se-hee had no choice but to smile and say so.
…Why the dragon is a woman, she still cannot understanding.
***
A god.
Appearing as a dragon in the original last half of the comic, she appeared for the first time saving others. At that time, in the original comic, I cursed and expected what the probability was while watching the dragon save Stardus.
Finally, Stardus’s side appears, and how much of this impoverished situation will be resolved? That’s what I thought.
Especially after seeing her turn into a human figure and control the weather like a god in white robes.
Yeah, I had that expectation, too. Until she’s corrupted and destroyed the city in the next issue…
Anyway, like that, I was trying my best to get her into Ego Stream in the cave.
“Hmm…”
As we talked, she changed from the dragon to a human.
The beautiful woman, who was wearing white robes and wearing black hair with a beanstalk, looked so thin that she couldn’t be believed to be the dragon before.
If it’s similar to the dragon earlier, wouldn’t it be her eyes looking at the world as if she realized something and gave up.
“…Yeah, I see. It means the god is coming down…”
After hearing that, she soon put down the pipe and told me.
“…Okay. I’ll help you.”
“Thank you.”
“…You’re responding right away… Alright, I haven’t gone down to the world in a while, so it’s time to go back to the world.”
All right, then.
That’s how I clenched my fist of victory.
As expected, selling the future, selling the past, and doing this and that is helpful.
“Just call my name Ryeong, did you say Da-in?”
The god stood up while asking so.
I also got up with a nod. Phew, did I finally succeed.
“…So, how can I help you?”
Walking out of the cave like that, she asked me in a calm voice, as if curious.
So I answered her equally gravely. “You can terrorize with me.”
“…Terror? What is it?”
“You’ll find out soon enough.”
That’s all I’ve said.
Well, it’s a little complicated to explain now, isn’t it?
It was a while since I went home and introduced her to others.
After explaining the terror to the god, explaining why we did it, preparing for it, and doing this and that.
Finally, the day of terror has dawned.
…The day I become Dragon Rider.
