Chapter 145
The subsequent processing of Jeju Island proceeded quickly with the arrival of members of the Corleone Family.
The remnants of the Junk Town were dealt with, and the tangerine farms where new drugs were being made from haunted tangerine trees were cleared. And then there was the rough and tumble of organizing across Jeju Island.
It was all done in less than a day.
โSo youโre going back now?โ
At the small dock that I used to enter Jeju Island we talked as we watched Fafnirโs body being loaded onto a large boat.
โI guess I should. I have a lot of work to do when I get back.โ
โBy the way, you said you were the Little Boss of Corleone, so I suppose weโll see each other again sooner or later?โ
โProbably.โ
Since this was my initiative, of course my father would want to let me go.
Heโs a man who likes to keep things fair and square when it comes to family matters.
โIโve learned a lot from you and Iโm sure youโll be able to reach higher levels in your aura!โ
โโโ Certainly!!!โโโ
Nodding as I watched the departure of the slightly overzealous but familiar members of the Blue Moon Workshop, I extended my hand to Yoon Kwangsoo and said.
โIโll see you later for the equipment, right?โ
โYes. Iโll come and see you then, master.โ
โOkay. See you soon.โ
And finally, I look at the children of Halla Cathedral who are looking this way.
โBig brother, are you going?โ
โBrother, are you going back to the mainland?โ
โAre you coming back?โ
Some of the children are crying or looking wistful, as if they realize Iโm leaving.
And among them was Jeanne, who was looking at me with a more determined expression than anyone else.
โBig brother, Iโll see you again, right?โ
She was holding it together but I could see the corners of her eyes fluttering.
โYes, I will see you again, so listen to the bishop and Sister Marie over there, and Iโll check on you later.โ
I stroke Jeanneโs head, which sheโs grown accustomed to by now, and as I speak, one by one the children run to me, clinging to my legs and waist.
โThank you, big brother!โ
โBye, big brother!โ
โTell us a different story next time you come!โ
To them, itโs only been a day.
I didnโt realize that I had grown attached to them.
โOkay, next time Iโll tell you the story of Father Andersen, the Devil Butcher.โ
โWhat?โ
All of the childrenโs faces stiffened.
โฆโฆIs it because theyโre so excited?
โYes, Master. They say weโre ready to go.โ
Just then, I hear the voice of a gang member from behind.
Apparently, they had already loaded Fafnirโs corpse and the items from his Rares.
โAh. You go ahead, Iโll be right behind you.โ
โYes, sir.โ
It was time to leave Jeju Island.
With everyone looking at me, I felt embarrassed to say anything particularly emotional, so I put on my natural smile and said what I normally say to friends.
โSee you later.โ
Because obviously it wouldnโt be long. ๐ฏ๐ง๐๐๐๐๐ซ๐๐ธ๐ซ๐๐ก.๐๐๐ข

โThis isโฆโฆ reallyโฆโฆ amazing.โ
Corleoneโs mansion.
There was Fafnirโs corpse lying in a heap in the middle of the garden, and a group of men looking at it with interest. fre ewebn ovel
โYou mean Eugene caught this?โ
โYes. There was the bishop at the Halla Cathedral who uses Ascalon, and he and the boy worked together to capture it.โ
โThereโs a little bit of rawness on the outsideโฆโฆbut no major outward wounds, so I donโt understand how they caught it.โ
Father and another man look back and forth in disbelief at Fafnirโs strangely unharmed appearance.
The manโs name is Kowalnose Garcia.
He was the boss of the Hunterโs Guild and the family in charge of disposing of monster materials in Korea, one of the few experts on dismantling monsters, and the technician who had been called in to dismantle the dragon.
โThank you for coming all this way Kowalnose.โ
His reason for traveling all this way was simple.
We didnโt want anyone else to know we had Fafnirโs corpse.
Fafnir, not just any monster, but a mythical Named Mob.
If the government or anyone else knew that we had the carcass of such a dragon, we would be in a lot of trouble.
You know, like the countless handshake requests that come in when you win the lotto.
โHehe. Itโs my nephewโs request, not anyone elseโs, so of course Iโll come, andโฆโฆhow many times in my life will I get to dismantle a monster of this magnitude?โ
Kowalnose smiles brightly at my words and places a hand on my shoulder.
โOn the contrary, Iโm rather grateful to you, so donโt think too much of it, Eugene.โ
By using my name and nephew in this way, he seemed to take this as a personal favor from me, rather than a Corleone event, though Iโm much more comfortable taking it that way myself.
โThank you uncle.โ
โGood. Well, I suppose we should get ready. If youโll step back for a moment, itโs been a while since Iโve had to use my full strength.โ
He steps toward Fafnirโs corpse, his index and middle fingers forming the shape of a gun.
A moment later, a green aura forms on his fingertips.
The sight of it is enough to cut, and slowly the aura begins to cut through Fafnirโs scales.
โHaha, so much resistance from the start, thatโs fun!โ
As he does so, Kowalnose slices away at the scales and bones as if it werenโt too difficult.
Fafnirโs scales predictably failed to hold up against the aura and began to chip away.
What followed was a two-hour dismantling show.
The materials began to pile up in the garden, and by the time he was done, the sun was already setting.
โHuh, that should do it for now, then Iโll take some of Fafnirโs meat and scales like you said.โ
โSure. Thank you for your trouble, uncle.โ
โNo trouble. By the way, Don. Why donโt we have a drink together, since Iโve dealt with such a marvelous find?โ
โYeah? Iโm looking forward to it. Come on, letโs go.โ
โYeah.โ
I watch them walk away, laughing and stare at the sight before me.
The scales and bones were perfectly dealt with and the red blood and meat was in the tanks but the most eye-catching of all was a red orb the size of a grown manโs fist.
โDragon heart.โ
The thing that was the biggest reason why dragons were able to become magical beings, and the nuclear fusion reactor of the magic system.
I slowly walked over to it, picked it up then put it in the cube.
I canโt use it right now, so I might as well put it here for now.
โWhat I need to use right now isโฆโฆ.โ
Then I look at the giant tank of blood.
โThereโs something people overlook, and itโs the most important thing in Fafnirโs body.โ
Fafnirโs blood.
According to Nibelungโs song, Fafnirโs blood has the power to make those who bathe in it immortal.
Of course, the game doesnโt give you immortality for balance reasons, but itโs definitely something I needed right now.
After removing DisPater, I naturally stepped into the blood.
The temperature inside the tank felt warm despite the fact that Fafnir had been dead for quite some time.
Slowly, I could feel Fafnirโs blood seeping into my body and changing me.
[Fafnirโs blood penetrates your body!]
[Attribute [Natural Healing (C)] reacts to Fafnirโs blood]
[Natural Healing (C)] becomes [Natural Healing (A)]
[โItem: Ancient Berserkerโs Ring (Sealed).โ begins to suck the blood of the Evil Dragon]
[โItem: Ancient Berserkerโs Ring (Sealed).โ breaks its seal!]
[โAncient Berserkerโs Ring (Sealed).โ changes to โAncient Berserkerโs Ring (True).โ]
[Name: Ancient Berserkerโs Ring (True)]
[Class: Artifact]
[Type: Ring]
[Description: This ring was worn by those called Ancient Berserkers. It absorbs the blood of its wearer and, in return, greatly enhances their strength.
Having absorbed the blood of the evil dragon Fafnir, this ring causes a fear effect in its surroundings just by being worn.]
โThatโs it.โ
The indispensable ability to grow stronger as I absorb fear was finally in my hands.
Fafnirโs blood begins to cool and turn transparent.
It has lost its color as all of its power is drained from it.
Stepping out of the liquid, which no longer held any power, I used my aura to blow away the moisture and changed into my normal clothes.
โWell, that leaves me with one last oneโฆโฆ.โ
Given the upcoming midterms, improving my abilities was crucial, so I decided it was better to get it done today rather than procrastinate and head to my room.
Unlike last time, this time I prepared thoroughly.
First, I put a towel over my mouth and Midasโ gloves on my hands.
Next, I sit upright on my bed and stare at the button that still light up in front of me.
[(N) Epic Inscription]
I got a new ability the other day from the battle.
Itโs a mechanic that imprints new abilities on you based on the narrative youโve written, and Iโd gotten myself into quite a bit of trouble the last time Iโd pressed it unprepared.
โThis time will be a little different.โ
As I clicked the button, a thought flashed through my mind.
โLast time, I got a wolf tattoo because I killed a wolf, so does that mean Iโll get a dragon tattoo because I killedโฆโฆFafnir?โ
No, wait.
A dragon tattoo?
An evil dragon?
At that moment, I started to feel a violent pain in my right arm. I dropped the door towel over my mouth as I realized what was about to happen.
โNo way-โโโ
โโโโโโโ!!!
Purple flames begin to engulf my entire right arm.
โExtinguish!โ
Unlike when it was the wolf tattoo, my voice couldnโt even come out properly.
I writhe in horrific pain, as if Iโm plunging my arm into lava, and I pray that this will end sooner rather than later.
The pain reaches a breaking point as the wolf symbol on my right shoulder blade and the dragon symbol on my arm begin to join together.
I feel like Iโm going to lose consciousness at any moment.
My gums, which had already let go of the towel, were leaking blood, and his clenched left and right hands were turning white.
Finally the flames finally went out.
โI thought I was going to lose it, reallyโฆโฆ!โ
I look at the black dragon imprint on my right arm and immediately recognize my new ability.
โHoly shitโโโ
The performance isnโt bad.
If thereโs a problemโฆโฆ.
โMaster, I knocked but why is your answerโฆโฆeh?โ
Alessia opened my door and walked in.
โIs thatโฆโฆblack dragon tattoo on your arm?โ
โOh.โ
She looked at my right arm, which was clenched in pain.
โIโฆโฆunderstand.โ
โNo, wait a minute, Alessia, this is-โ.โ
โItโs okay, I thinkโฆโฆ thatโs, what do you sayโฆโฆ pretty cool?โ
โNo thatโs not it, itโs reallyโโ.โ
โThen Iโll get out of here, have fun master.โ
โโBang!
The door slammed shut on my pathetic excuses.
Having finally come to terms with the reality of the situation, I sighed as I wiped my face with both hands.
โโฆโฆUgh.โ
