Other than Yeom Junyeol, the original Hongryong summoner, that dragon knows about that existence.
There’s no way they wouldn’t know.
After all, I impersonated Yeom Junyeol at the Hwanmong Auction.
That word.
“You will summon Hongryong…?”
Even though he might’ve guessed it, Cheongryong was skeptical.
It must’ve been difficult to accept it right away.
If so, then I have no choice but to prove it myself.
“It would be faster to show you.”
I reached out into the air, similar to when Yeom Junyeol summons Hongryong.
<Light skill Player Identity activated.>
<Light skill Summoning Hongryong activated.>
Fwaaa…!
A subspace opened at the tip of my fingers, and Hongryong appeared in between the gap.
It’s larger than the Hongryong summoned by Yeom Junyeol, and the energy waves and fire he has are superior too.
Still, it’s undeniable that it was in fact Hongryong.
‘This is Yeom Junyeol’s power. Cheongryong knows it better than me.’
Cheongryong, who has a deep love for his nephew, recognized Hongryong and fell speechless.
“H-how did you…”
“It’s my light skill. I can use other people’s powers under certain conditions.”
“Then that means you are the Red Wall Thief!”
Ah.
I was prepared, but my hands almost shook.
I’ve been hearing that word too frequently these days.
The Hongryong that I summoned also clenched his fists and looked at Cheongryong with resentment.
“As expected, it was Junyeol’s power that destroyed that dirty auction. The Dragon Clan’s benefactor was the Red Wall Theif who impersonated our Junyeol-ie.”
Cheongryong appealed to his nephew’s love even though he was confused by the sudden revelation.
Was he still looking for the person, that word, who impersonated Yeom Junyeol?
I was prepared to be criticized by the Red Lion and the Dragon Clan once my identity was revealed.
While Cheongryong organized his thoughts, I waited to see what measures I would take.
Meanwhile, the excited Yeom Junyeol spoke.
“Uncle Cheongryong is a wise and benevolent man, so he will be glad that Euishin, the Dragon Clan’s benefactor, used my name to destroy the Hwanmong Auction.”
Yeom Junyeol said so as he looked at Cheongryong, his eyes filled with trust.
Cheongryong answered a beat late as if he was speechless from Yeom Junyeol’s unquestioning attitude.
“Weren’t you in trouble for something you weren’t involved in at that time, Junyeol-ah?”
“If I had known about the Hwanmong Auction, I would’ve come forward myself even if I had nothing to do with it. Thanks to Euishin’s choice, a lot of people were saved and I got myself a good teacher.”
Does Yeom Junyeol want to reveal our teacher-student relationship?
Now that that word is revealed, I don’t think I need to hide anything more from Cheongryong, even though he’s unlikely to accept that I am Yeom Junyeol’s teacher.
“A good teacher? Ah, you did say you wanted the Red Wall Thief as your teacher. Don’t tell me… Junyeol-ah?”
“Yes, Euishin is a close junior, but he’s also my teacher.”
There’s no age for learning, but the words are a little incompatible.
Cheongryong was stunned, his eyes wide open.
His face turned red and he repeatedly sniffled.
“I was expecting it, but I can’t believe the dragon descendant followed him that well.”
Hwang Jiho, who was watching the dragons’ conversation, said.
Isn’t Yeom Junyeol just trying to cope with the situation in fear that Cheongryong will be furious?
As if Yeom Junyeol’s words worked, Cheongryong gradually stabilized.
After looking at Yeom Junyeol, Cheongryong looked at me and the Hongryong that I summoned.
Cheongryong had a serious look on his face as if he had decided something.
“Yes, Junyeol is correct. I cannot neglect Junyeol’s benefactor, junior, and teacher.”
“I knew you would say that, Uncle Cheongryong.”
Cheongryong spoke again.
“Now that it’s come to this, the benefactor of Dragon Clan, as a member of the dragon family—”
“Cheongryong, don’t say unnecessary things. Didn’t you say you’re here to help? Don’t even think about stealing the Tiger Clan’s benefactor in front of this body’s eyes.”
Cheongryong said something weird, but Hwang Jiho said something even weirder.
The two clan heads continued to have a useless conversation that wasn’t fit for their age.
“I was paying attention that he saved Kim Shinrok, but I later found out that he made such a move. The Tiger Clan’s benefactor has a lot of secrets.”
“Never mind that. You must’ve known that the benefactor of the Dragon Clan was the Red Wall Thief before we did.”
“Well, of course. It’s important that he became the Tiger Clan’s benefactor rather than a rogue thief.”
The two clan heads continued to exchange nonsense, but it didn’t bother me that much since it’s not much different from the 12-point alliance talks.
While listening with an awkward smile, Yeom Junyeol asked.
“Does the Tiger Clan know who Euishin is?”
“Yes.”
“Did they know before I did?
That was a rather obscure question.
Although the first people to know that word was me was the Tiger CLan, Yeom Junyeol was the first to see me in that form.
I met with him and instructed him to throw the first pitch on Children’s Day, and Hwang Jiho only knew my identity after the summer vacation youth retreat.
I delivered it that way.
“Yes, but Yeom Junyeol sunbaenim, you were the one who first saw me in that form.”
“Yeah, uhuh. I see.”
Yeom Junyeol smiled as he fixed his words, trying not to address me formally.
Even if everything is revealed, if I treat Yeom Junyeol as a student here, Cheongryong might get fired up.
I’ll continue to speak as a junior here.
While waiting for Yeom Junyeol to recover, I laid out my plans.
“I’m going to attack from a distance, mainly from the light skill.”
“You’re saying we should fight with Hongryong in the middle.”
“Yes, it’s important to keep showing how you deal with your light skill. I’ll keep you in check so Professor Kim Shinrok can’t approach, so please attack him with Hongryong from a distance.”
The second round was coming up.
Yeom Junyeol, standing next to me in the middle of the battle floor, said something.
“It might not be a real fight, but I’m glad I could fight with your Hongryong.”
Cheongryong might get uncomfortable again if he expresses too much joy.
I was also glad.
Standing side by side with Yeom Junyeol, fighting with his power.
It was a great honor for a rotten PMH user like me.
“Begin.”
Hwang Jiho declared the start of the battle.
However, Kim Shinrok didn’t move immediately.
‘From Kim Shinrok’s perspective, dealing with two Yeom Junyeols doesn’t pose a threat.’
The Hongryong that I summoned is bigger than Yeom Junyeol’s, but that alone won’t give him a sense of what has changed.’
Fwaaa!
Yeom Junyeol and the two Hongryongs gave off heat from the air.
Yeom Junyeol’s Hongryong was staring at the dragon that I summoned, wagging its tail slowly.
If we weren’t in the middle of a battle with Kim Shinrok, he might’ve been wagging his tail vigorously.
He can’t afford to do that now.
<Using character’s skill Remote Ignition.>
Flash!
As planned in advance, Yeom Junyeol and I poured flames on Kim Shinrok at maximum output.
Kim Shinrok was instantly engulfed in flames, and Yeom Junyeol rode Hongryong to the sky while I remained on the ground.
When Yeom Junyeol floated close to the ceiling, Kim Shinrok walked out of the smoke.
He had one throwing knife earlier, but he’s holding one in both hands this time.
‘He’s using a light weapon so it’s a waste to only use one hand.’
I think Kim Shinrok really went easy on Yeom Junyeol. fre(e)novelkiss.com
Kim Shinrok extinguished the flames with his blades, and came out with indifferent eyes while trying to look for Yeom Junyeol.
“Jo Euishin’s flames are much stronger.”
Some of the flames remained, perhaps it wasn’t possible to extinguish them all.
He avoided the flames very well.
But it’s not a good idea to pour too much flames to burn.
Because it will be over once we’re out of energy waves.
“The basics of fighting against many people is to reduce the number. There are too many variables when there are multiple opponents.”
Kim Shinrok spoke like a teacher.
However, it was completely different from the way he usually speaks when he’s teaching kindly.
“When reducing the number, it’s advantageous to aim for the opponent you can catch for sure.”
Kim Shinrok’s eyes turned to Yeom Junyeol who was up high.
He was teasing his hands as if he was about to take out another weapon.
Other than a throwing knife, Kim Shinrok had a tack in his hand.
“Dodge!”
When I shouted, Yeom Junyeol quickly turned around.
I moved Hongryong to blow flames while I also launched fire.
<Using character’s skill Remote Ignition.>
Hwaaa!
I used a flame technique to target Kim Shinrok’s hand, but the flame was erased quickly because I was in too much of a hurry.
Still, the knife thrown by Kim Shinrok brushed the scales instead of hitting Hongryong.
But not all were avoided.
Huuuu…
Something was flowing down Yeom Junyeol’s arms and shoulders.
Kim Shinrok’s tack wasn’t stopped by Yeom Junyeol’s scales.
‘He hit him even though he’s wearing protective armor. If I was a little late, it’d have crashed between the cracks in the scales.’
There were lots of variables in this fight with two Hongryongs in the equation.
However, Kim Shinrok fought with a nonchalant face as if he was at no disadvantage.
We let our guard down a little, and Kim Shinrok jumped over the boundary, flew toward Yeom Junyeol, and showed his elaborate throwing skills.
There’s still no sign of him using his light skill, but he showed an excellent display of skill.
‘Kim Shinrok is reluctant, and since he’s so strong, even the Tige Clan didn’t recommend that he use his light skill.’
When Kim Shinrok flew up, Yeom Junyeol came close and said,
“I was caught by the ankle, sorry!”
Yeom Junyeol came here to help so there’s no need to feel sorey at all.
Just him showing how to handle Hongryong like he’s part of him is enough.
As if he wanted more, Yeom Junyeol suggested something in a low voice.
“Euishin-ah, why don’t you use that power since it’s two against one?”
That power?
Does he mean an energy wave link?
It would be more effective if there were more people on our side.
If there was no other way, I wouldn’t tried as Yeom Junyeol said, but it was okay now.”
There’s something more effective than that.
“I didn’t want to use it against Kim Shinrok, but it’s a problem he needs to overcome someday.
I don’t know about the rest of the Tiger Clan, but all the people of royal lineage who favor Kim Shinrok would like him to overcome this.
‘Good thing I told the tigers in advance.’
I decided to use some power if I had the chance to fight with Yeom Junyeol.
Among the tigers who heard my suggestion, only Jeokho hesitated.
The others welcomed it with open arms.
“Professor Kim Shinrok is erasing the flames that spread out on the floor and walls. He’ll be right over here.”
There was no time to hesitate.
I took out the Fate of the Unknown card.
Hwik! Hwik!
Kim Shinrok jumped off the wall and took off, ignoring the laws of physics as he flew this way.
He didn’t have flight skills, but his excellent leap skill made it seem like he’s flying.
The moment Kim Shinrok ran toward Yeom Junyeol with a throwing knife in his hand, I moved Hongryong to block him.
At the same time, the transparent Fate of the Unkown card has turned into a character card.
<Light skill Player Identity activated.>
As soon as the system notification was heard, energy waves disappeared from Kim Shinrok’s throwing knife.
Kim Shinrok stopped.
He couldn’t try to invoke his skills nor could he try to move towards me.
Kim Shinrok, who slowed down, landed on the floor.
Tadak!
“Ah…”
Kim Shinrok looked at me in disbelief.
The character that I used is my last playable character, Baekho-gun.
A tiger that Kim Shinrok can’t attack.
