Chapter 293 – Marriage
#293.
There was really nothing inside the cave. Other than the shabby altar in front, there is no clue to find out more.
“… There really is nothing.”
Ha-yeon’s words represented everyone’s feelings.
Leaving behind the slightly embarrassed party, Gaon and Isabella approached the altar.
“What. This. I didn’t even think about returning, but I didn’t know it would be this much.”
“That’s what I said. There is nothing.”
Unlike Gaon, who had already visited the ruins in her previous life, Isabella, who is new to this visit, was clearly disappointed by the futile results.
What can be inferred from the altar, which is so distorted by the overlap of dimensions that it is difficult to distinguish its shape?
The only thing we can know is that there is probably a god or something unknown who arranged the return to be in a dimension other than here in Union.
Did you really know about its existence?
He knew that the ruins he had arranged would be caught in a rift and cross the dimension to reach this place.
If he had known, he would have been a god with absolute authority that no one could oppose.
‘I don’t know what you’re thinking.’
But then another question follows.
If he knows the Dimension Eaters and has arranged a return as a countermeasure, why doesn’t he try to solve it himself with such ability.
With a little bit of regression, you can easily defeat the Dimension Eater. Even if he stopped right away, it was possible for him to become strong enough to fight head-on at the level of a worm.
At that time, Gaon did not lose in the fight.
I just lost my mind due to the impact of the dimension breaking.
If the fight didn’t end that way and it really ended, I’m not sure who would have emerged victorious.
Because at that time, Gaon had never imagined that he would be defeated by anyone.
That’s how strong he was, and he was confident.
“Whoa… I just came here Nothing really.”
While Gaon was lost in his own thoughts, Isabella, who had been looking through the altar, patted her hands and muttered disgruntledly.
It’s kind of funny to see him recreate exactly what he did in his previous life.
Gaon sighed and said.
“Did you check everything? Then Let’s go.”
“I thought if I came earlier, there would be something left. Just wasted time Let’s go back.”
Gaon, who was watching Isabella’s back as she passed him and exited the cave, took one last look at the altar and followed her.
‘There’s no work for the time being.’
Since the issue with Isabella has also been resolved, it is good enough for her. In the meantime, it was time for her to check and consolidate the forces that had rapidly expanded so far.
The dimensional barrier collapses and the invasion begins in earnest in the next two years. In order to prepare, you must build up your strength as much as possible.
‘I’m going to have to get a Uideyogi by then.’
The intent you get when you reach 10 stars. It was Uinoegi that he created by combining it with his own Myeongjeolgi.
Only when it is polished to the limit, can it reach the realization of imagery, which is the state of 11 stars.
The image he got in his previous life is a dragon. Whirlwind Gwangryong was that, but it can no longer be used.
Because unlike then, now I don’t have anything related to dragons.
Gaon contemplated inside himself.
‘I don’t know.’
His image was the void itself. Since it is empty, of course nothing can be implemented.
Now, he is blocked by a wall.

A man and a woman walking together stop
“… You can do it here.”
“All right. Then… You know?”
The end of a date is always fixed. It was his own words, so I couldn’t deny it.
Gaon looked down at the hesitant Hirencia and sent pressure.
“Ugh… Can’t Gaon just do it?”
“No. Hirencia decided to do it this time. Come on.”
I gently lowered her waist to level her gaze, and as if she couldn’t stand it any longer, Hirencia, who had her eyes tightly closed, approached and kissed her lightly on the lips.
Six months have already passed since he returned from Hunter Town.
In the meantime, I trained hard and spurred on preparations to prevent destruction, and I made considerable progress with Hirencia, to the point that instead of simply accepting it, I approached her and kissed her.
However, he still did not do anything with his lips attached to the tongue, perhaps unreasonable.
In response to the tantalizing reaction, Gaon wrapped his arms around his waist and penetrated his tongue between slightly parted lips.
“Huh… !”
They exchanged saliva with their tongues intertwined, engraving low moans in their ears.
She’d matched her lips countless times, but it was still new every time. As long as he had longed for it, his thirst was as strong as it was.
Gaon, who had been lusting after his lips for several minutes, felt his hand on his chest and fell.
“Puha… ! It’s too much. Every time I do it, it’s just too bad.”
“Sorry. But I can’t help it. Even now, I am enduring it as much as I can.”
“… I don’t know. Then, since we kissed, I will go now. See you later.”
“Yes. Go in.”
It was really unbearable to see my drool-soaked lips twitch every time I spoke. Gaon saw her off, controlling her blood with mana that slid under her.
At this time, he always suffers from anguish.
The reason to give her time to slowly get used to it, and the urge to attack her instinctively, since Hirencia is fully prepared anyway.
The two of them play a tight tug-of-war every time and put him on the test table.
But in the end, reason always wins the tug-of-war. He is prevented by the resolution he had through Hirencia’s past life regret that he did not want to hurt her.
Gaon only turned his back after the palace doors closed and Hirencia completely disappeared.
Then, as he walked toward the guild, he raised his head and muttered while looking at the star-studded night sky.
“I’m not serious these days…”
Not too long ago, I got a call from Louisiana. It was news that a rift had opened in the east and west of the Empire.
I don’t know what’s so special about it, but the cycle of cracks opening is getting faster and faster. This phenomenon represents only one thing.
‘The collapse of the dimensional barrier is accelerating.’
As the dimensional barrier collapses faster, it is evidence that it is becoming more and more vulnerable to external aggression.
Originally, it was an event that would happen two years later, but maybe the future has changed due to the action of something.
If that was the case, I had to be prepared as much as possible.
“Is it time to keep the promise? .”
The first place to be hit when the dimensional barrier completely collapses is right here, the Imperial Capital.
An enormous rift large enough to cover half of the capital city is opened, and the invaders who emerge from it take fatal damage.
In order to reduce it as much as possible, some special object was needed.
It is a certain god that operates with the heart of an ancient dragon that has been managed by the Drakanis family for generations.
But in other countries. Even if it explains an incident that hasn’t happened yet, there’s no way I can hand it over gently, so I have to force myself to take it.
Gaon knows one way to do that.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t help it.”
Winning the fight against Rivera and claiming the heirloom as a wish. If it’s that woman with a strong ego, she’ll agree unconditionally.
There is one more year until the deadline we promised, but even now we are confident enough to win.
After returning to the guild and taking a shower, Gaon threw herself on the bed feeling refreshed.
The mattress swayed and wrapped around her body.
“Haaa… Be mindful…”
Rivera is a mature 10 star. As such, she probably has also completed Uiyeomgi, so she has to create the same technique to counter it.
For six months, she thought hard and came up with her own theory, but she was worried about whether it would turn out well.
She was a little frustrated because she had to wait a month after using it, so it was not easy to test it.
Still, it’s a guaranteed skill as much as its power.
“No matter how hard she is, I can’t escape her.”
If the long-awaited fight ended in vain in the blink of an eye, she even wondered how she would react if she were on the losing side.
I hope she won’t be able to hold back her own anger and go out of her way.
Gaon, who had been thinking about Rivera, contacted Louisiana to tell her in advance.
“Hello. Lugiena?”
-Uh. It’s me. What’s going on in the middle of the night
“I just want to hear your voice.”
-Oh… Okay? Something special? Then you’re not going to talk about work, right? Just do it. I’m going to give you a lot of fuss.
“…”
It seemed that he was very angry because he only contacted him on public matters. Gaon couldn’t bring himself to speak and was silent.
Then, Rougeena, who was observing her appearance, let out a sigh and said,
-It’s a joke. Tell me your business
“… Aren’t you mad?”
-Not really. I’m used to it anyway More than anything, if I miss you, I can contact you first. If you don’t, that’s okay.
“Thank god. Then I’ll tell you the matter first.”
After confirming that Roujiena was fine, Gaon was relieved and she explained the current anomaly and what would happen next.
In the end, when I told her that she had to fight Rivera in order to obtain her divine power, Rougiena expressed disapproval of her.
-Hmm… You mean that? I won’t worry about what you’re going to get. But i’m a little anxious As you can see then, she’s a pretty tenacious woman. I don’t think I’ll let go easily.
“You have to think about it then. First of all, it is important to obtain the Shinki.”
It is more important to solve the problem right in front of you than to worry about the future. I didn’t want to suffer irreversible damage by procrastinating because of useless worries.
She went out to Lujie, who pondered for a moment to see if she felt his will, and made a suggestion.
-Are you aware that marriage talks are going on between His Highness, the 2nd Prince, and Princess Himiris of the Dracania Empire?
“Yes? Are you talking about marriage?”
-Huh. I thought we were getting closer after the last delegation, and it was said that His Highness, the 2nd Prince, would visit the Drakania Empire for a wedding talk. How about following me?
Gaon’s eyes widened at those words.
It’s not such a bad story. If he was visiting as a guest of the imperial family, even Rivera could not hastily pressure him.
In the end, it is a way to return without major problems while completing the purpose.
Gaon smiled.
“Is it good? But can I join the wedding delegation?”
-Well? Ask directly. Maybe you won’t refuse It’s like getting a 10-star article for free. It’s such a big deal to get a seat.
The increase in the number of envoys by one or two was not a particularly serious problem. If anyone, not just the 2nd prince, welcomed it, there was no reason to be reluctant.
“It certainly is. Thank you. Louisiana. Thanks to you, I can come back without any problems.”
-If you know that you are grateful, do well.
“Yes. I love you,”
-… Huh. Me too.
The two whispered love to each other and talked about this and that after that.
And a week later, the wedding delegation departed for the Drakania Empire.
