Never Die Extra (Edited)-Chapter 459

The Great Ancient Wizard, Contact with the Unknown (4)

“Sorry, Maybell. I was too weak.”

There was a sad moan, a pitiful sigh. When the 700-year-old girl elf couldn’t get on her feet, the Succubus replied whilst clicking her tongue. “You saw the Master too easily. There wasn’t a decisive enough opportunity to get to the final stage. You shouldn’t be feeling too close with the Master yet.”

“But I didn’t think time would matter between us…!”

“Whoa.”

The Succubus snorted. Between us? That was what lovers who had already confirmed each other’s love could say!

“The Master is a very conservative man. Moreover, he’s more cautious because he already has a lot of people to take responsibility for.”

“Huh? Don’t tell me that Zero has more people besides Maybell…?”

“Hmmm! We’ll talk about it later.”

Was this part still a secret? The Succubus flapped her bat wings a couple of times, glossing over them, and then reverted to the topic at hand.

“Pushing is good, but don’t forget to create a good atmosphere first. Maybe you can drink together. But the Master has poison resistance and doesn’t get drunk easily, so the operation to move in while he’s drunk is the worst.”

“Oh, I’ll take notes…!”

“Hey, what are you doing there?”

When Evan came outside after finishing the Claw gauntlets’ order for the Dwarves, there was a conversation with a feeling of uneasiness going on. Looking around there, he saw Maybell and Mirole. He didn’t hear the whole conversation, but he heard the words ‘go on top of him’ and ‘atmosphere.’ Evan questioned Maybell with the look of a detective who found a clue at the murder scene.

“…Are you related to yesterday’s work, Maybell?”

“Well, I don’t know what you mean.”

“Well, yeah. We only had tea together.”

As Evan’s eyes grew narrower, the two whistled and asked different questions. He was just concerned that Mirole was becoming more and more like Maybell. No, but the future Mirole was at least gentle on the outside, so it would be okay…it would be okay?

“Maybell, what about the Succubae?”

“Everyone is satisfied. I guess there were a lot of people who wanted to have good dreams.”

“I suppose so. They’ve been trying hard to survive without anything to enjoy.”

Relationships? People need relationships, but people of this age couldn’t even afford to interact with someone else. At least Evan guaranteed them food, but it was also confirmed that they couldn’t afford relationships because they were so hard-working. In such a situation, the Succubae appeared, giving the people pleasant dreams. Regardless of whether you were a man or a woman, you could enjoy your dream, so honestly, it would be strange not to fall into it.

“I’m sure you’ve all controlled yourselves?”

“Of course, there are so many things to soak up. Besides, everyone seems to be recovering fast.”

“It’s probably thanks to everyone washing up in the hot springs.”

The large hot springs installed in the Mother Forest’s waters had the primary effect of improving all kinds of resilience. Even after leaving the hot spring, it increased resilience for a certain period of time, so it was no different from receiving a general buff from a priest. If you took a bath in a hot spring, you would be able to recover all your energy.

‘But what worries me is that people won’t be able to find their partners in real life.’

Evan, who had a moment of ominous imagination, soon gave up the idea. This wasn’t the time, anyway, and if you wanted to prosper your species, you would go and take care of it later. You didn’t have to worry about that already.

“Okay, so now…”

“Hyeong!”

Then someone rushed up and hugged onto Evan’s leg. He didn’t need to confirm who it was. Lian was the only one here who called Evan ‘Hyeong.’

“Did you sleep well, Lian?”

“Yep! This place is full of energy!”

Evan was fully aware of that because of the amount of impact Lian had when he ran into him. Initially, he was born in the Demon Realm, so Evan was worried about how he would adapt to the air of Middle Earth, but it seemed that the opposite of their worries had already happened. In other words, Lian, who could remain calm in the world of Demons, wasn’t oppressed when he returned to Middle Earth, which increased his power even more. In a nutshell, it was the same logic as Superman, who couldn’t use much power in Krypton, but was flying around on Earth.

“He’s strong, but he has become stronger.”

“Don’t you think my child can surpass you?”

“That’s too much, Leo.”

At Leo’s words behind Lian, Aria, who was walking behind him, retorted. Then she looked at Evan and questioned him with a worried look.

“I heard you’re going to fight the Dragons. Are you sure you’ll be okay?”

“Of course. Don’t worry; I’m confident I can get myself out in the worst case.”

Evan himself now had a hard time recalling the scene where he was threatened by someone else. Even if it were dangerous, he could just open up the Necklace World and hide. And if he used the second necklace that led directly to the Forest…

“…Huh?”

“Zero, what’s wrong?”

“No, I had a necklace that connected to the Necklace World and the Forest.”

‘I used it when I escaped from the Demon Realm.’

Evan searched his arms in confusion, but strangely he couldn’t find it. Come to think of it, what did he do after he escaped from the Demon Realm?

…He couldn’t seem to remember. When he returned to the Forest, he felt like he already had nothing in his hands.

“It’s made of expensive materials…”

Perhaps it had exhausted all its strength and disappeared in the process of penetrating the barrier set up by the Devil. It was fortunate that the body of the necklace was intact. Evan shrugged.

“Well, you don’t have to worry, anyway.”

“Are you going alone?”

“That way, it’s easy to run. I’ll call you when the right time comes. The experience of hunting dragons is not something you can do at any time.”

“Well…”

Now that the Arpetas had been added to the existing power of the forest, he didn’t have to worry about it unless they were invaded by the Devil directly. Evan smiled with satisfaction at the sight of the elves, the dwarves, and the human beings who had already started their daily lives…

“Oh, God has appeared!”

“God blessed us last night.”

“It was an ecstatic experience. It’s like being one with god…”

“I will serve you all my life!”

There came a satisfied smile…

“Please do it tonight, too, please…”

“As expected, god brings us everything we need.”

“Bring the scriptures! Bring the scriptures!”

With a smile, he completely ignored the humans and turned around.

“Maybell, maybe I made the wrong choice.”

“You’re attracting faith through erotica, Master.”

“Be quiet.”

It would soon be revealed that it was the Succubae’s doing it, anyway! But Maybell’s expression didn’t change.

“…Maybell, don’t tell me you’re cooperating with the scriptures, are you?”

“I’m not sure what you’re talking about!”

Evan first decided to confiscate the writing instruments from Maybell for three weeks.

“Then I’ll be back.”

“Have a safe trip, Zero.”

“I must secure a lot of dragon bodies. I especially want a Red Dragon.”

“Don’t overdo yourself, Zero.”

“You have to bring something delicious, Hyeong!”

[You’re starting it…I hope I don’t have anything to do with this.]

After greeting some more people, Evan finally took a step out of the forest. Then he was already out in the wilderness, which was far away.

“Let’s go.”

The first hit by the Devil was quite intense. However, the attack Evan prepared must have hurt him quite a bit, too.

‘Let’s see, this way…there you go!’

He jumped up to the floor, taking one, two, three steps, and walking in the air. When he stopped walking, he was still in the air, but the surroundings were completely different.

-Whoooooooooo.

The sound of the wind sounded much like a ghost’s cry, and there was no other place to step. He was now farthest from the ground.

“Oh, my…”

The whole place was filled with high mountain peaks. There was a peak with frozen snow, and there was a crater where lava was boiling. There were peaks made of hardened sand and peaks encroached by eerie darkness. There were also grassy peaks and clouds. There were dozens of such peaks, and the energy felt in each of them was so intense.

‘This is the New World.’

Even when he played the Yo-Ma Great War Zero, Evan smiled with satisfaction at the superb view that he had never seen before. Of course, it once came out as a quickly passed-by CG, but as one said, the Great Ancient Wizard dragged out the dragons here one by one and never entered the map directly. Of course, you could come in if you wanted in the game, but it was also meaningless because you would die under the dragons’ fire before checking the entire map.

“It’s a magnificent view—a magnificent view.”

Most dragons were good at all magic, but they often had one property they were confident about. It transformed the place where such a dragon lived into the most suitable environment to use its power. Because this region was the most active on the entire continent, it was necessary to gather in such a rugged mountain range and occupy one peak per dragon.

How could there be no conflict between arrogant and selfish dragons living in this little place? Since the moment they were born, they had been fighting each other steadily and reducing their population, and now they were all living on dozens of peaks that could be found here. And they also decreased one by one as the scenario progresses, resulting in the last one being slain by the Great Ancient Wizard.

In the original scenario, the Dragon of the Magic Realm had a similar theme. Now that the Devil had come out earlier and joined hands with them, no one knew how threatening they would be. Evan also had that same reason for trying to destroy the dragons.

“Okay, let’s get started.”

It was about deceiving the dragons. What was necessary to deceive the dragons’ eyes? It was Dark Magic!

“You filthy lizards!”

Releasing all the Dark Magic he had held in his boots, Evan threw his fist into the air with his power.

Booooom!

The whole mountain range vibrated with the sound of the sky tearing.

“This is a declaration of war from the Devil! Your bones! I will collect them for the Devil’s weapons!”

The destructive force emitted from his fist collided firmly with the barrier created by the dragons in a show of rare cooperation around the mountain range. The barrier disappeared with the sound of paper tearing, and the remaining destructive force hit all the mountain peaks.

―Guooooooooooo!

―Keuaaaaang!

―Who are you?! Who dares to wake me up!

There was a commotion everywhere. The peak, which was hit directly by Evan’s fist, collapsed. Evan momentarily thought, ‘Can’t I just clean this up by myself without anyone else’s help?’ but he shook his head, thinking that neglect was forbidden. Dragons were scary because they used unimaginable magic. There would be only one surprise attack.

“Your Majesty’s order is to stick your necks out, you lizards!”

―A pestering demon!

―I’ll kill and pickle you and send you to the Devil!

―I left you alone until now. How dare you mock me!

Dragons with scales of sky-blue, blue, purple, red, colors flapped their wings to set flight from the collapsing peaks. The scene was also spectacular, but it was a little creepy that they were all staring at Evan in unison.

―You’re pumping out the evil spirits of the Devil, you worm!

―I found him!

“Hey, that’s terrible.”

No matter if Evan had boots that originated from the Devil’s spirit, it was hard for the dragons’ eyes to not recognize his human energy completely. But the problem was that the dragons looked down on humans endlessly. Some of the dragons flying felt human energy from Evan but thought they were mistaken because they thought humans couldn’t break the dragons’ barrier.

“Now you’re getting up, you little slugs! If you’re not afraid of the Devil, come with me!”

Evan finally hit bottom as he saw them gradually narrowing in a siege around him. As he stepped firmly into the air with Annihilation, terrible pressure was placed on the area, and the movement of all the dragons was suppressed.

―How could a Demon have this much power?

―Ha, I’m sure he borrowed the power of the Devil!

“You filthy lizards that only know how to talk! Catch me!”

Evan left, trying to make them all catch him. Of course, the direction he was heading toward was the south, where the Demon Tribes were gathered. He was so fast that they almost couldn’t see him (but he controlled his speed quite a bit). The dragons rushed to demonstrate the magic of flight and followed suit.

― Maybe it’s a trap?

― It doesn’t matter if there’s a trap!

― I’ll never get rid of my anger if I don’t tear him apart.

― It’s a temporary alliance until we kill that Demon!

― I’ll kill all the Demons!

…Evan once said that he was afraid of the magic that originated from them. The sight of dragons chasing after Evan’s simple provocation without leaving a single dragon to protect the peak made him so sorrowful that he once said they were intelligent.

Of course, it wasn’t strange to think that his charm was involved in the success rate of the provocation.
