## Chapter 2738 – 2738. Dragon Hunter
“……!!”
I felt a massive surge of magical energy.
Sitting in my office, reviewing the resumes submitted by the beauties, I looked up toward the source of the magical wave.
[Activating the Celestial Eye.]
‘…Can’t see it.’
The Celestial Eye didn’t allow me to see to the opposite side of the Earth. The distance I could see depended on my abilities. Right now, at full power, I could see about 70km.
‘The me in the Light Ascension World could see thousands of miles away.’
In any case, this magical surge originated at least 70km away.
‘Such a wave of magical energy couldn’t have suddenly occurred naturally. Someone caused it. It’s as if the world is reacting.’
The cause wasn’t hard to guess.
In the original story, only one being could do something like this. Moreover, this magic wave covering the entire world was similar to the description when that being first appeared.
‘The Dragon God. His seal has been broken, and he’s descended. How?’
The Dragon God’s seal was quite tight. Even in the original story, it was broken due to a series of coincidences. The Draconian Project, which was the starting point, had already been destroyed.
In this situation, someone managed to break the Dragon God’s seal without me noticing?
‘The probability of it being broken by a series of coincidences like in the original is almost zero. So… someone broke it. Someone who knows a lot about the Dragon God.’
There was only one such being in this world right now.
The White Wood Celestial Dragon, Gigamera.
A supporting character who helps the protagonist in the final episode of the original story.
‘That guy could break the seal.’
Gigamera was a supporting character, but he was a bit ambiguous to call him a good guy. He was the one who knew from the beginning that the Dragon God’s seal would be broken and stood by. He cooperated with the protagonist after realizing the Dragon God was different from what he expected.
‘…No. What’s important now isn’t the cause of this situation. If the Dragon God has descended… he’ll try to kill humans, including me, saying something about balance.’
Of course, that included Jina and Hiteira. The Dragon God would prioritize killing humans stronger than ordinary people.
‘If the Dragon God has descended… he won’t move immediately like in the original. He’ll need some adjustment time. It’s best to defeat the Dragon God before he fully regains his senses after awakening from a long seal. If I combine forces with Hiteira… it might be possible.’
Thump!
Just then, the door opened, and Hiteira appeared. Even in this situation, she was expressionless.
“Yujin. Did you feel it? The wave of magical energy has spread throughout the world. Magic is fluctuating in response. If this continues… dragons could appear on a large scale.”
“That’s a good thing.”
“We can’t predict what impact this magic will have on ordinary humans.”
“That’s not a good thing.”
“What will you do?”
“The Dragon God has descended. Let’s go kill him.”
“…If it’s the Dragon God, wouldn’t it be better to gather the Association’s hunters?”
“They won’t do. We need at least S-class to be of any help.”
Currently, the only S-class hunters in the Association were me and Hiteira. I had already dealt with the remaining vice presidents, Relga and Baird. They were useless to me anyway.
‘Tch. If I had known the Dragon God would descend, I would have kept them alive.’
Using Hiteira’s power, we moved through space.
• • •
We saw the golden dragon floating in the sky. A massive size of over 100 meters, with scales that emitted a golden light on their own. The immense magical power felt with every breath it exhaled. Its mere presence was overwhelming.
‘Was it this big?’
It had much more presence than what I saw in the original comic.
‘Over 100 meters in size. I don’t think it was this big even in the original comic. Damn it. We’ll definitely lose if we just fight.’
It was incomparably stronger than a Dragon King-class dragon. Even if five Dragon King-class dragons attacked at the same time, they wouldn’t be able to defeat this one.
‘How did Mir, in the original story, manage to defeat this guy, even with Hiteira’s help? I don’t think it’s possible?’
I could see Mir a little further away. He was shouting something at us. I couldn’t hear him because an invisible wall was blocking the sound.
“Could this be Mir’s doing? Did that guy break the Dragon God’s seal?”
“Judging by the Dragon God protecting Mir, there’s a high probability. Of course, I don’t believe Mir did it alone. There must have been an assistant. The most likely assistant would be… the White Wood Celestial Dragon.”
I agreed with Hiteira’s guess. However, what was important now wasn’t Mir, but the Dragon God.
“Hey, Dragon God. Let’s take it easy. We have nothing to gain from fighting each other.”
-You are not easily seen.
Contrary to his words, the Dragon God was looking directly at me. The golden eyes of the giant reptile gleamed eerily.
“Are you blind?”
The difference between having sight and not having sight was significant. If the Dragon God really couldn’t see, the odds would increase slightly.
-I am speaking of the future related to you. The near future is visible, but the further I try to see, the more blurred and inaccurate it becomes. Even the near future is becoming increasingly distorted. What exactly are you?
The Dragon God could see the future? He was different from the Dragon God in the original story.
-I truly see the future. Sung Yujin.
“You really see the future… damn it.”
He knew what I was going to ask and answered in advance. He really could see the future. The good thing was that the Dragon God saw my future uncertainly. Could it be a lie?
As I doubted the Dragon God, I suddenly realized why he saw my future uncertainly.
‘Should I test it?’
I took out my smartphone.
-…The future has just changed. I cannot see. What are you trying to do?
Fate Summon. I was going to summon Elena. But the Dragon God couldn’t see that future.
‘The Dragon God can’t see the future related to the Play Life app. That makes sense. If he knew about the Play Life app, he wouldn’t be so calm.’
The distant future wasn’t clear, and even if he saw it, it was distorted and changed? It was natural since he couldn’t grasp the variable of the Play Life app.
“Dragon God. Here’s my proposal. You either get sealed again, or you disappear to a place where I can’t see you. Show up again in about 500 years. By then, even I won’t be around, so you can reappear and do what you want. You live forever anyway.”
-That would be too late. The world would turn into an even more terrible place. Now is the right time to restore the broken balance.
“It seems we can’t go the easy way.”
It was the expected reaction. The Dragon God was more dogmatic than I was.
I summoned a tungsten bullet from my inventory and punched it.
Thunderclap Style Electromagnetic Cannon.
The hypersonic bullet shot toward the Dragon God’s head. However, the railgun didn’t hit the Dragon God’s head and crashed to the ground. A roar erupted, and clouds of dust billowed up.
“Did he attract it with gravity?”
The Dragon God could see the future and had the ability to respond to it. Frankly, it was quite a hopeless situation.
-If you have no intention of revealing your true nature, then die.
Before I could even dodge, gravity pulled me and Hiteira’s bodies to the ground. As we crashed to the ground, we hurriedly protected our bodies with magic.
Kwaaaang!
‘Shit…!’
Even though I clearly protected my body with magic, the bones inside my body were broken, and my organs were impacted. Looking to the side, Hiteira was in worse condition than me. She was bleeding profusely from her mouth and even lost consciousness for a moment.
The surroundings were swept away by the shockwave, creating a crater. It felt like we had become meteorites and fallen to the ground.
The Dragon God looked down at me.
Gravity began to crush my body. Fortunately, he was ignoring Hiteira and focusing his power only on me.
[Activating Celestial Heart. Duration: 1 minute.]
The gravity crushing my body weakened.
‘I feel like I can live now.’
The entire gravity didn’t disappear. Gravity was still putting pressure on my body. But it couldn’t suppress my entire body like before.
‘Jaeun’s Command.’
I summoned Jaeun’s Command into my grasp. By the power of Jaeun’s Command, dark clouds appeared in the sky.
Kwarururung.
Amid the increasingly large black clouds, blue lightning flashed.
-The power of gathering tens of millions of lightning bolts into one is certainly dangerous to me as well. But… it takes too long to prepare.
The Dragon God flapped his wings.
Kwaaaaaang!
The massive wind generated from the sky scattered the dark clouds in an instant.
‘The difference in size is ridiculous. An S-class hunter can destroy a mountain with all their power. But that guy destroys a mountain just by flapping his wings. Even if I use the Hwaryeon Bido’s domain, I’ll barely be able to withstand it. The moment the effect of Celestial Heart ends, I’ll die.’
I checked the Play Life app.
[Available Points: 42,739]
Points I had collected while staying in this world for quite a while.
‘It’s a waste, but I can’t let Hiteira and Jina die.’
[Consume 1,000 points to guarantee summon Levre (Warmage)?]
‘Summon.’
[Summon duration is 22 days.]
Light poured out from the smartphone. The light turned into a caterpillar the size of a human head. The light pink caterpillar floated in the air. There was a fist-sized golden eye in the center of its head, and about 20 small legs wiggled all at once. It was a disgusting appearance even after seeing it again.
-Greeting. I have come.
Levre’s telepathic wave echoed in my mind. It was a bit different from the dragon’s method of conveying will through magic.
Levre’s body swayed in the air. The gravity pouring down on me was also pouring down on Levre. However, Levre only staggered for a moment and regained his balance in the air.
For reference, characters summoned with guaranteed summon share the same stats as me. There is no limit break that temporarily grants original abilities. However, they retain their unique abilities. In particular, Levre is specialized in psychic powers such as telekinesis.
“Celestial Heart is about to end. Help me out. And that Hiteira who’s collapsed over there.”
-Understood. Neutralizing gravity with telekinesis.
Surprisingly, Levre listened to me obediently.
[Celestial Heart is deactivated.]
The effect of Celestial Heart ended. Levre’s telekinesis neutralized the gravity, so I didn’t feel anything.
-It’s difficult to keep enduring like this.
“Hey, can you win if you fight that golden lizard?”
-Impossible at the moment. Possible if using planetary energy through planet consumption.
“…Sounds like something a planet parasite would say. Can you use planetary energy right now?”
-Time required.
“How many minutes?”
-Insufficient estimate, but requires 750+ days to complete planet consumption. This is also a time ignoring efficiency.
“That takes way too long.”
-My original power would take less than half a month.
A meteorite fell from the sky. The Dragon God had even summoned a meteorite. Instead of blocking the meteorite, Levre teleported me, Hiteira, and himself out of the meteorite’s range.
I asked Levre as I watched the meteorite falling on the mountain and the telekinetic barrier blocking its shockwave.
“So, there’s no way for you to kill that guy with your current power.”
-Correct. That creature is too strong. Parasitism is not easy either.
“You’re useless.”
-Request correction. I was helpful.
I ignored Levre’s words.
The Dragon God’s eyes turned to me.
-You have summoned something dangerous. A parasite that infests planets. A bug whose very existence is disgusting.
He saw through Levre’s true nature in an instant. It seemed the Dragon God’s eyes didn’t just see the future.
I touched my smartphone.
‘I have to use points when I need to.’

I looked at the Dragon God, feeling the overflowing power within me. I reflexively made an assessment.
“A little lacking. Bug. I will allow you to partially consume the planet in my territory. In return, transfer the energy to me.”
-Not bug. Levre.
“Are you refusing my command?”
-I didn’t say I wouldn’t.
A massive amount of power began to flow in from Levre.
