Tomb of the Light Dragons.
It was the dimension where the Shadow Lord, Sung Jin-woo, the King of the Dead, and the Dragon Antares, the King of the Dragons, and the Lord of Doom, fought the final battle.
The strongest of the Eight Lords born from the Darkness of the Beginning.
The only monarch who overpowered the Shadow Lord.
Antares, King of the Light Dragons, Lord of Doom.
He was the embodiment of destruction, willing to destroy himself for the sake of a war wedged with blood, screams, madness, and destruction.
However, he was eventually defeated by Sung Jin-woo, and the Legion of Doom he led was absorbed into the Shadow Legion.
As a result, in what was once called the "World of the Dragons," only the soulless and decaying corpses of the dragons were reduced to ashes.
And the vast amount of ash spread across the crevices of the plane.
Just in time, the ashes had flowed into the Echo Forest, where the dimensional rifts had been everywhere.
Thinking about it now, it was a miraculous coincidence that Cha Hae-in and the Wyvern Kaisel had entered the Rift of the Dimension among the many.
If he had entered a plane other than here, Caesel might have vanished without ever recovering his strength.
Curiously, however, Caesel's strength began to build up from the moment he stepped into the grey ash-strewn space.
And the more of the gray snow fell, the deeper into the Echo Forest, the faster it recovered.
So what happens if you go directly to the source of those grey ashes, the Tomb of the Light Dragons?
He might be able to restore all of Caesel's powers.
[I think so.]
Ver nodded in agreement.
That was then.
"If Chacha goes, I'll follow!"
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Sirka interrupted the conversation, clinging to Cha Hae-in's arm and glaring at him.
"I left him alone this time and I can't live because I'm anxious. I'll always be with you wherever I go."
[The King of the Yetis, the Lord of the Frost, is willing to allow it.]
"No, wait. Don't allow it to happen."
Suddenly, even the Lord of Frost intervened, and Suho was taken aback.
I barely met my mother for the first time in a few years, but as soon as I met her, I ended up parting with her again.
Even the place where my mother is going now is a completely different dimension.
Passing through the dimensional rift that exists beyond the Echo Forest and entering the Tomb of the Light Dragons.
"I'm sure there's a dungeon out there somewhere out there that is full of the ashes of the dragonkind. Once he gets inside, Caesel's power will increase even faster."
"I agree with that. But if that's the case, I'll go with you."
"Nope. That's not good."
Cha Haein looked at Suho with a stern expression.
"You go back to Korea first. And you don't know when or where the Apostle of Itarim will appear, like this time, and you must stop them instead of your father."
"If that's the case, then the Apostle of Itarim might come to the place where my mother wants to go, right?"
"And what about again?"
Suho's words made Cha Haein's eyes widen and a confident smile emerged.
As he did so, he spun the Demon King's katana in his hand and stuck it firmly on the ground, asking Suho.
"Son, are you really worried about your mom now?"
Pajik! Pajik!
The guardian's eyes saw the demon king's katana flowing through the blue thunderbolt.
Come to think of it, my mother was an S-class hunter who had cut down the Apostle of Itarim with that sword.
Cha Hae-in smiled mischievously and playfully nagged Su-ho.
"Who's worried about whom? You're going back and leveling up first. Do you sleep at that level? Come back and check what level it is?"
"Ugh."
Suho was genuinely frustrated.
My mother didn't say this when I was playing games when I was younger...
Even Ver was nodding his head in agreement.
[Well, the little lord is stronger than an ant caterpillar these days, but I still can't live because I'm too anxious to put it out.]
Suho finally sighed and decided to let go of his mother.
"Then I'll just help you find the gate to the Tomb of the Dragons. That's fine, isn't it?"
Anyway, I had to stay here for a while and do something.
The so-called post-processing.
* * *
"Brother-in-law!"
Off the coast of Facade Island, AJINSOFT's private plane has arrived.
As soon as Yoo Jin heard the news that Cha Hae-in had been found, he had crossed the Pacific Ocean in a month.
"Uhhh Brother-in-law, how hard you've been! I really worried about it... Uhhh
"It's Ji Jinho. I'm fine, so stop that...."
Seeing Yoo Jin Ho squeezing tears and snot in front of Cha Hae In, Cha Hae In glanced behind him with an embarrassed expression.
Behind them, the secretaries accompanying Yoo Jin Ho were confused by Yoo Jin Ho's completely different appearance.
But Yoo Jin-ho didn't care.
"Whoa! Brother-in-law! I remember everything! I'm gone! No, well! Brother, brother-!"
"Ahh
"Whoops! Whoops!"
But no matter how hard he tried, Yu Jinho just dragged on for a long time.
Ever since the memories of his past life come to mind, when he thinks of Sung Jin Woo, who sacrificed himself alone without anyone noticing, his tear ducts can't dry up.
However, it turned out that Cha Hae-in also had memories of that time, and he had even been alone in a strange dungeon!
If not at this time, then when will you cry?
"Hey...."
"No, Jinho, please... Think about your age. People see it."
But guess what.
The person standing here today was no longer Yu Jin-ho, the Sangvis representative of AJIN Soft's success story.
He had returned to Yoo Jin-ho, a spoiled man in his 20s who had been following Sung Jin-woo around a long time ago, smiling brightly.
Cha Hae-in, who knew how he felt, smiled as if he couldn't stop it.
Then, suddenly.
Yoo Jin-ho's puffy eyelids met Su-ho's eyes as he stood next to Cha Hae-in.
"... Ahem. Anyway, I'm glad you're safe, brother-in-law. You've been through a lot, Suho."
"...."
I belatedly tried to save face in front of the guardian, but it was too late.
Suho just shook his head.
And to some extent, when Yoo Jin-ho's tear ducts calmed down.
He dared to bring him to this faraway place.
"Anyway, uncle. Lend me some money."
"Oh yes. Did you say you wanted to buy the exclusive rights to the Glacier Dungeon?"
"Yes, I'll pay you back soon by selling the water from the Echo Forest."
When the topic of work came up, Yoo Jinho's eyes changed.
Of course, my eyelids were swollen, so I didn't feel as charismatic as usual.
Suho had told Yoo Jin-ho that he had found his mother and that Façade Island was currently in trouble because of the glacier dungeon.
The general situation was as follows.
"The glacier dungeon is no longer accessible. I can't wipe out the demons that live in it."
In order to conquer the glacier dungeon, they had to wipe out all the ice elf tribes, including Cirka.
But since I couldn't do that, I had no choice but to think about what to do next.
"yes, I understood that. The ice elves are friends with my brother-in-law, so of course we shouldn't kill him. So how about relocating the ice elves out of the dungeon altogether?"
"You mean to let the ice elves live on Earth?"
Even if he took all the ice elves out of the dungeon, he still had conquered the dungeon.
However, the ice elves rejected this method.
"I absolutely hate that. We, the Baruka clan, have a duty to protect the Lord's Sanctuary. We're going to keep living in the forest."
Yu Jinho said as he met the eyes of Sirkka, who appeared suddenly and glared at him.
"She's so cute. But what are you talking about?"
"...."
To Yu Jinho, the sight of Sirka babbling the Mashu language was just a surprise.
"Anyway, let's say we can't move. After all, the detox potion called Echo Forest's Spring Water in the Glacier Dungeon is worth the money, right?"
"Yes, it's groundwater, so it's not going to dry up."
Of course, no amount of groundwater is infinite. If he kept pumping it up, he could run out one day.
But that didn't matter.
"Hmm, if too much is released into the market anyway, the price will only be cheaper, so the key is to loosen the right amount little by little. And... I don't know how good the detoxification will be."
It was Yoo Jinho calmly rolling the calculator in his head.
The item's description simply stated that it had a neutralizing effect on toxins.
It was necessary to verify to what extent and with what effect it detoxifies certain poisons.
Knowing the value of a product before selling it was one of the basics of business.
And, of course, such a process required a lot of manpower, time, and money.
Therefore, the person who was needed was Yoo Jin-ho as a businessman.
"Before that, it's Suho. Let's check one thing. Technically, you're just joining the Scavenger Guild in this walkthrough, but the Scavengers don't want a monopoly, right?"
Yoo Jinho wondered.
In fact, this business was a water business.
If you go into the glacier dungeon and scoop up hot spring water and sell it, you can make money.
Why isn't Scavenger greedy for such an easy and good business?
Just then, Scavenger approached Thomas Andre's secretary, Laura.
"That's a shame for us, but the ice elves will only allow you access to the spring water of the Echo Forest."
Laura looked genuinely sad.
But for the ice elves, it was a no-brainer.
The springs of the Echo Forest were the sanctuaries of the Lord of Frost, and of course they were forbidden to open to anyone.
It is very difficult for an ordinary human to find a way through the magical blizzard in the Echo Forest.
In the end, I have no choice but to ask the ice elves to go there and get some spring water...
"The ice elves said they would only grant the request to Seong Su-ho or Cha Hae-in."
It was a no-brainer.
Suho and Cha Hae-in were friends of the ice elves who had even been recognized by the Lord of Frost.
"So we'd like to make a suggestion to Suho at Scavenger...."
"Wait."
Yoo Jinho raised his hand and interrupted Laura.
At that moment, thick stacks of papers in the hands of the secretaries rushed to his side.
Laura was overwhelmed by the sight and swallowed involuntarily.
'... It's not going to be an easy fight.'
Yu Jin-ho, the spoiled master who had been swollen and squeezing his eyes in front of his brother-in-law, was no longer there.
Yoo Jin-ho, who had just returned to Sangvis as a businessman, was looking down at Laura with a chilly momentum.
