Chapter 647

His vision returned.

When he came to his senses again, he was in the safe house located in Cheongdam-dong.

In other words, his home.

“Well, damn.”

Parting like that?

Was he telling him to leave quickly now that he had given him everything he had to give?

It was absurd.

But on the other hand, Su-ho also thought that was very Omega-like.

Jack said,

- I think he sent you away early because he was tired. Don’t feel too disappointed.

“Is that what it was?”

- Probably. With that old man’s personality, he’d only want to show what he wants to show.

“I see.”

If that was the case, then fine.

Then now it was time to check the rewards.

First, he checked his status window.

[ An Su-ho ]

The amount of the stat, which had been in the 100s, had also become the 300s, and he had gained 100 bonus stats as well.

He had filled four digits to make the color of his mana stat white, but at this speed, he thought that perhaps it might become black fairly soon.

But how much mana stat did he need for it to become black?

He asked Jack.

- I don’t know either.

“Why don’t you know?”

- Because I’ve never reached it.

“You said you went out into indie games too. Didn’t you meet any guys with black color there?”

- Even if I did meet them, do you think we would leisurely exchange growth tips about stat colors?

“Fair enough.”

That made sense.

After thinking it over, Su-ho invested all his bonus stats into Great Strength.

Then he opened the information window for Dragon Blood.

[ Dragon Blood ]

Grade : SS# The bloodline of a great dragon.

The newly reorganized information for Dragon Blood.

If there was one prominent feature, it was that all the existing grades had become SS-grade wholesale.

Next to Dragon Master, the sixth and final authority, the exclusive option called Omega had also been opened in bold.

However, the highlight began now.

Namely, the many new skills he had obtained from the Omega option.

Their number was a whopping eight.

Newtype DragonFull Version ModeDragon MagicDragon WordsArc Dragon FearArc Dragon Breath.Dragon LairOmega LinkAmong them, Su-ho first examined the information for Dragon Magic, Dragon Words, Arc Dragon Fear and Breath, and Dragon Lair.

The reason he chose these first was because he could predict what they were just from their names.

Sure enough, they were all as expected.

Like Blood Spirit Arts, Dragon Words made it possible to use Dragon Magic just by speaking. Of course, it was also possible to use it by putting will into it without directly speaking.

The same went for Dragon Magic.

As the name suggested, all the magic used by dragons had been passed down to him.

It was an utterly vast amount.

However, nothing like an overload occurred inside his head.

Because they had been planted in a compressed form, not laid out all at once like every item on a street vendor’s stall.

‘Even if I know it all, I won’t be able to use it all anyway.’

It would have been nice if it had a will of its own and helped him like the Quai system, but it seemed there was nothing like that.

That was fine.

Because he had Dragon Words in its place.

‘What I need now is only enough mana to handle all of them.’

Dragon Magic was far more powerful than ordinary magic.

That was why the mana consumed was several times greater, in proportion to its outstanding performance.

It was only natural.

After all, an ordinary passenger car and a race car built for racing differed from the very type and amount of fuel they consumed.

The same was true of Arc Dragon Fear and Breath.

Now that the purity of his Dragon Blood had passed 50%, he was Half Blood.

On top of that, he had inherited Omega’s power, so even though he was not a 100% pure-blooded dragon, it was possible for him to use Arc Dragon Fear and Breath.

And what about Dragon Lair?

Originally, he would not have been able to possess one as a half-baked dragon, but through Omega’s blessing, he had become able to have a lair.

‘Subspace House, Demon King Palace, the Demon King Castle Belkanuel...... and now even Dragon Lair.’

Aside from Subspace House, none of them had been especially intentional, but somehow he had ended up with four pieces of real estate.

Laughing softly, he looked over the next items.

Now three remained.

Newtype Dragon, Full Version Mode, and Omega Link.

Just from their names, he felt as if he could guess what kind of options they were, and yet not quite, so he opened all their information windows and checked them all at once.

[ Newtype Dragon ]

Grade : SS# A new type of dragon never seen before.

# The concentration of Dragon Blood has barely exceeded 50%, and yet that existence cannot be regarded as a complete dragon. However, since it possesses power and authorities no less than an Arc Dragon’s, from another point of view, that existence can also be considered a dragon.

# Acquisition and use of everything related to dragons is possible.

[ Full Version Mode ]

Grade : SS# When using the existing Dragon Mode, due to the influence of Half Blood, only 50% of the original dragon’s abilities and form can be realized.

# However, when using Full Version Mode, complete transformation into an original-type dragon becomes possible.

[ Omega Link ]

Grade : SS# You can be connected to the final Arc Dragon Lord Omega mentally and across time and space.

Brief explanations.

He understood all of them.

Newtype Dragon was a kind of qualification-unlocking skill, and Full Version Mode was the same.

Omega Link had the same property as Sword Demon Bow.

‘Every single one of them is the good stuff.’

Especially Omega Link.

He understood why Omega had said they would be seeing each other until they were sick of it.

But now that he had secured Dragon Magic and Dragon Words too, was there a need to meet him again like with Sword Demon Bow?

Well, he would find out once they met again.

“Now, then.......”

Just as he was about to take some rest after the fierce battle.

- Disciple.

A voice rang inside his head.

It was Sword Demon.

Startled, Su-ho hurriedly answered.

- M-Master?

- Why are you so surprised?

- Ah, no...... It’s nothing.

- Yes, you haven’t committed a crime, so there is no reason to be surprised. More importantly, you became stronger in the meantime?

- Ah...... yes, well. I just met an Arc Dragon Lord and came back.

- An Arc Dragon Lord...... So you met a lizard who knows a bit of magic. And the result?

- He was strong, but in the end, I won.

At those words, Sword Demon laughed.

- And you have nothing to say about that?

- ......It was all thanks to you, Master. If not for your Unity of Body and Sword training, I would not have been able to defeat the Arc Dragon Lord.

Was this what they called forcing someone to bow after helping them?

But it was true.

If he had not trained under Sword Demon before meeting Omega, he definitely would not have been able to defeat Omega in this battle.

‘Then I would have become a True Dragon with no way out.’

It was horrifying just to think about.

Sword Demon spoke in a satisfied tone.

- Yes, the fundamentals are important in everything. See? If you listen well to your master, rice cakes appear even in your sleep, and you manage to get through crises that seem like they’ll kill you. Isn’t that right?

- Yes, that’s right.

- Then what should you do now?

- ......Swordsmanship training?

- Correct. In that sense, you said you are currently in the Constellation promotion battle, did you not?

- Yes, that is right.

- And one of the conditions is clearing all the trait quests for whatever this thing called New Blood is.

- Yes.

- Which of them have you finished?

- Of the four, the vampire and dragon sides are finished.

- What’s left?

- Giant and fairy.

- You have all kinds of blood mixed in you. I’m one thing, but you really are something too.

- .......

- So, between giants and fairies, which one do you intend to handle first?

- I haven’t thought about it yet. I just came out after resolving the dragon side.

- Then resolve the giants first.

- Why?

- It’s better to handle difficult things first. The fairy side looks easy at a glance.

- Where does that logic come from?

- Then what? Does a tiny little fairy feel more difficult to you? Is it harder for you to deal with an ant, or harder to deal with an elephant?

- .......

- If you understand, handle the giants first.

- You really do have a talent for leaving people with nothing to say.

- I didn’t say anything wrong, did I? Then are ants difficult for you?

- An elephant is big, so if I slash it, I can slash it, but ants are actually so small that ants could be harder.

- .......

Sword Demon fell silent.

Even without seeing him, Su-ho could see his expression.

He was probably making a look of utter pity.

- I’m sorry.

- Yes, if you had insisted just a little more, I might have stabbed you.

- Understood. Then I’ll rest a little and go.

- Where do you think you’re going?

- Pardon?

- You’re not training?

- You told me to resolve the giants first.

- Before that, you need to come meet me. Training comes first.

- Ah, no, I can train after I come back, can’t I?

- Who said that? Are you trying to keep putting it off again? It is obvious even without looking. You are the kind of bastard who does not do it unless someone drags you by the nose ring like a cow.

- Where did that come from?!

- Tsk, if not for the Unity of Body and Sword training you did with me, what almost happened to you when you met that lizard bastard?

- That was.......

He had nothing to say.

How cowardly of him to fight with facts.

When Su-ho could not answer, Sword Demon raised the corners of his mouth.

- Once you go beat down the giant side and come back, the fairies will be quick. Then you will become a Constellation, and you will be swept up in another new rapid current. When that happens, you will be busy. So if you need to refine your swordsmanship, the only time for that is now.

- Haa.......

- I’ll give you exactly two hours. Rest for two hours, and if you don’t want to get stabbed, come running quickly.

- Yes.......

And just like that, his next schedule was forcibly decided.
