Chapter 195 – 195.Ways of Repayment (4)
As I heard the notification sound, I could tell that the Holy Beast of Fire, Karyuda, had completely regained her sanity.
After going down from Karyuda’s head and waiting for a while, Karyuda’s head fluttered and floated in the air again.
“Time limit!”
“It’s okay, Adelia. The chaos stone has definitely been broken. So, you will regain your sanity now.”
[It’s just as it says. The benefactor who saved me.]
Like other holy beasts, Karyuda’s voice rang in her head.
“Oh, Karyuda-sama! Have you been released?”
Luong Wei was happy and came near us.
[Yes. The one who rules this generation of Luong. Thank you. You also helped my benefactor to save me.]
“As the king of Luong, this is a natural thing.”
No matter how solemn and dignified the King of Luong was, he immediately showed a polite attitude in front of Seongsu.
[My benefactor. I feel like I want to repay you for saving me right now. But now there are things that take priority over that.]
Karyuda’s gaze turned to the people still fighting the corrupted monsters.
[I guess I have to clean up after my mistake of going wild with the power of the Chaos Church.]
Karyuda turned her head upward and rose upward, having recovered somewhat.
Karyuda’s body her gradually recovers as the speed increases.
And when Karyuda stopped high in the air, Karyuda’s body her fully recovered.
Karyuda opened his mouth upward and gathered flames.
The flames that gradually grew in size inside Karyuda’s mouth her eventually shot out.
Whoa whoa!
As it exploded in the air, it split into countless fireballs and fell down.
And the falling fireball hit precisely the monsters that were fighting with the people or running towards the people.
-Keeeeek!
“This flame!?”
“Look at that! Karyuda-sama’s color has returned to its original state!”
“The Holy Beast of Fire has returned!”
“Karyuda helped us!”
“”Waaaaa!””
The return of Karyuda, the Holy Beast of Fire, raised the morale of not only Luong Army soldiers but also members of each family to the maximum.
I was able to feel once again how deeply rooted Seongsu is in people.
Karyuda’s attack did not completely put all monsters to sleep.
However, most of the monsters had decreased, and the morale that had soared with Karyuda’s return showed that this fight would soon end.
***
After eliminating all the monsters once.
Karyuda spoke to me in front of many people.
[Thank you so much, my benefactor. I hope you accept this.]
Karyuda closed his eyes for a moment, and red energy radiated from his body.
The energy gathered together in front of me and created a single jewel.
[It is the essence of fire that contains my power. I hope you find it useful.]
“Thank you.”
“Ohh.”
“The Holy Beast of Fire himself bestowed the essence of fire.”
“A legend! I’m watching a scene from a legend!”
[And.]
Karyuda saw his own body that I had cut up.
[I have nothing to write about anyway, so do whatever you want with that. There will definitely be many uses for you.]
“Thank you.”
Karyuda had a good sense of humor.
You can now obtain Karyuda’s severed body even if you don’t want it first.
Well, it’s so big and so long that it can’t all fit into the Cats Company’s warehouse like this.
Let’s cut it into pieces later and put it in the inventory.
[However, it cannot be said that I have repaid all the favor I have received from you. My benefactor, is there anything else you want?]
To be honest, if you don’t want anything more, it’s wealth, fame, and power. … And a woman.
It’s a state where you can say you have everything you have.
In that case, let’s go in the direction of increasing the favorability of Luong people.
“Then, I would like to solve this hot weather situation on Yanlong Mountain.”
“”Oh oh… !””
Most people watching us exclaim in admiration.
It included Shu Lei and Luong Wei.
“With a wish given by the Holy Water of Fire…”
“You want to solve Luong’s problem!”
“He is a model! He said That is the model of a hero! He is a role model for a hero!”
I had an idea to increase my likeability, but I feel a little embarrassed when I am openly admired like this.
When you are thinking like that.
[Achievement: You have obtained the title Paragon of Heroes.]
[Achievement achievement reward: 3 points, reputation 30.]
Remuneration came with a new title.
I never thought I would get a title.
Since he already had the title of Hero of Raden or Hero of the People, I didn’t think he would be relevant here anymore, but he is truly an example of a hero.
[Hmm…]
At my request, Karyuda fell silent and became silent.
[I’m sorry. It’s hard for me right now.]
“Do you need a recovery period?”
[No. Now, I cannot interfere with the heat of Yanlong Mountain. But I know the solution.]
“Then please tell me how to solve it.”
[Temple of Fire.]
“Temple of Fire?”
[Currently, a monument with powerful chaotic powers embedded in the altar of the Fire Temple is affecting Yeomryongsan Mountain. Also, the Temple of Fire is currently filled with the power of chaos that corrupted me, and I cannot easily resolve it. To relieve the heat of Yanlong Mountain, you must destroy the monument with the power of chaos.]
“I see.”
In the game, if you just catch Karyuda, the heat will be resolved on its own.
Now, the monument of chaos, which can be said to be a new element, has become the center of the heat problem on Yeomryongsan Mountain.
‘I thought I could skip the Fire Temple by catching Karyuda because he was corrupted right away.’
I guess life doesn’t go that easy.
[If the Temple of Fire is left as is, more monsters will appear in Yanlong Mountain and the heat will not be resolved. However.]
Karyuda calmly looked around and spoke.
[Many people are exhausted because of my carelessness. I will not tell you to go straight to the fire temple. Even if I can’t solve it myself, I will suppress the power of chaos that is rampant in the Fire Temple. When you recover, come to the Fire Temple.]
“How much can you suppress?”
[It is possible for about a month.]
One month is very ample.
It was then.
[Destroy the Monument of Chaos in the Fire Temple within one month.]
[Achievement reward: 9 points, reputation 20. Failure: World destruction.]
A new quest was updated with good timing.
When I first saw the penalty of world destruction in case of failure, my heart skipped a beat, but now it felt like it was just a courtesy, so I wasn’t anxious or afraid at all.
Because I don’t even think I’ll fail in the first place.
“I understand. I will head to the Fire Temple within a month.”
[You can easily solve the problem of the Fire Temple. The contemporary king of Luong.]
“Please speak, Karyuda.”
[This person is my benefactor. He expects to be treated accordingly.]
“I will obey your orders! I will treat the hero Ishihan and his companions with treatment that Karyuda will not be disappointed in.”
[Thank you.]
With those words, Karyuda ascended to heaven and entered the crater of Mt. Yanlong.
After Karyu Da returned, Luong Wei shouted loudly.
“People of Luong! Karyuda has been liberated! Thank you for your hard work!”
“”Ooooo!””
Cheers from countless people rang out from the top of Yeomryongsan Mountain.
***
After liberating Karyuda.
Members of each family returned to Bauza.
However, Fortis Group members, including me, continued to wait at Yeomryongsan Mountain.
Because I have to retrieve Karyuda’s body.
But Luong Weiwang still stayed with us since we didn’t go back.
“Your Majesty Wei, please leave now.”
“No, the heroes haven’t left yet, so I can’t go back first. From the looks of it, you seem to be thinking about how to move Karyuda’s remaining body his. Don’t worry, I will send soldiers to move it later.”
There is no need for that.
Rather, this will only increase the number of soldiers who will stand out in many ways and suffer for no reason.
‘… I can’t help it.’
I thought that Luong Wayni, who had even told Karyuda to treat me well, would keep the secret well.
“Your Majesty Wei, there is no need to do that.”
“What?”
“Actually, the reason I stayed here was because I didn’t want to be noticed by other people.”
“What does that mean?”
“Luong May, Luong Mai.”
“Yes!”
“What’s wrong~ Manager Sihan?”
“Please do not tell anyone else what you saw here. Please also ask Your Majesty Wei.”
“I don’t know what it is, but I understand because it’s a hero’s request.”
“I swear too~.”
“I won’t tell anyone else what I saw today~.”
“Thank you. Then…”
After approaching Karyuda’s body, extend her hand and touch it.
I immediately put Karyuda’s body in my inventory.
“What… !?”
“”Wow!””
“Karyuda’s body has disappeared!”
“Karyuda’s body is gone!”
“Hero Lee Si-han. Can I ask how this happened?”
Rather than wariness, I felt pure surprise and curiosity.
Even so, it is difficult to deceive it into thinking that it is a very large subspace ring when such a large body of Karyuda is inserted.
“It’s my unique skill.”
“Hehe, you really did have the qualities of a hero from the beginning. Oh… You have extraordinary unique skills.”
“I’m sorry. Because abilities are abilities, I couldn’t easily reveal them in front of others.”
“I understand. If you have this level of power, you can do that. Then you wouldn’t need the subspace ring.”
“Yes.”
In response to my answer, Luong Wei didn’t ask any more questions and just nodded her head.
And.
“Daejaaaaang! It’s hot! Let’s go back quickly!”
Myka, who was panting and sweating with her tongue out, could no longer bear the heat and asked me for a favor.
“Okay, let’s go back now.”
After putting Karyuda’s body in, we returned to Bauza.
