Chapter 283: Agent of L and Al – 2
1
Dracoon was one of the three tribes of the Su People that comprised the Els. If the Su people served the gold dragon L, the Dracoon serves the Red Dragon Al. The Orcs were the ones who firmly defended their indigenous beliefs.
“But all the divinity you’ve absorbed now is mine. You have to absorb the divine nature of Al that stands opposite me so that you can do your part and give Al some strength to restore it, which requires the recognition from Al’s authorities. The fastest way to be recognized is through the queen of the Dracoons.”
.
“Isn’t it faster to exterminate the Dark Earth monsters in front of them?” It was Jaehwang who gained a considerable amount of credence from the Su peoples with only a brief show.
L shook his head. “That’s because I gave you a straight face. If I drop an oracle that you’re the tool of the Dark Earth, you’ll lose all your divinity now.”
“Hm.. how about the Orcs, then?”
“They’re torn by multiple tribes. They don’t unite but just growl at each other. They are so far away that there’s no such thing as an Orc Lord to establish an empire, so it’s hard to raise their sacred value in a short time. Well, not too long ago, Helkan had quite gathered his strength, but he was beaten to death by humans. It’s a shame, things would’ve been easier if he was alive.” A pretty familiar name came out of L’s mouth.
“Why?”
“For Orcs, the strong one is the law. If you’d come forward and beat him and showed them a few times your power, they wouldn’t dare fight against you, you would have easily acquired their divinity.”
“Huh…” Jaehwang groaned at L’s words.
It was himself who killed Helkan, he never imagined that it would come back this way. If Helkan was alive and had only brought him to his knees, Jaehwang would not need to marry the Queen of the Dracoon now.
Shaking his head, Jaehwang then said, “Can’t we just go with my power and Goongi’s?”
“It won’t be enough. The Dragon heart that holds his Divine Spirit was completely torn apart. It’s a sacred reconstruction work, but it’s possible if you get the 20% of the power that Al has. So, Dracoon…”
“I can’t accept it!” Goongi growled, cutting L’s words.
“What’s the point? It’s called marriage, but it’s a mere play to create a myth that a human warrior, the god of Elus and the agent of L and Al, brings together the longtime rivalry of the Su people and the Dracoon and then goes to destroy the Dark Earth… Ah! I’d rather call it an ancient warrior than a human one. Maybe humans have a bad image…”
“Why should I even care about such a myth.”
“Oh, that’s weird. Shouldn’t God try to have a better myth all the time?” L said while glancing at Jaehwang. Goongi shuts her mouth at L’s words.
It was not wrong. Like what L said, God likes to have grand myths that would be remembered for a long time. Even if it belonged to the heretics, it’s the same as instinct.
And Jaehwang, whom she loves, was still short of myths. She had to stop being stubborn when he’s involved.
But L’s words were answered by Jaehwang instead. “It won’t work anyway if we block in the three dimensions. So I’ll dismiss that.”
“Yes, that’s right!” Goongi spoke triumphantly at Jaehwang’s supportive works, but she frowned again at the ensuing words of Jaehwang.
“But we do need Al’s power to attack the Dark Earth.”
“As expected, right?” L was pleased to learn that in his words, Jaehwang didn’t mean to refuse entirely. L welcomed this idea because she did not want Al to fall asleep. A dragon, once asleep, sleeps at least 100 to 500 years. Al’s condition was so serious that he could spend 1,000 years in slumber. She would take all the work that would be left by Al and as a lazy dragon, she didn’t want that.
“How long?”
“A week at the earliest! I’ll let you finish in two weeks at the latest!”
Time was right too.
“Well, that doesn’t include his period of treatment, does it?”
“Of course. As long as you take Al’s divinity from here and assist me, the treatment will be over soon. Please help me, you need our power to destroy that dungeon anyway.” With L’s earnest tone and last request, Jaehwang nodded with a bitter smile.
“Okay.”
“Hey!!” Goongi held Jaehwang’s arm and inflated her cheeks. She hated Jaehwang being called someone’s husband, whether it was a play or something.
Jaehwang then hugged her. Then, he lifted her chin and kissed her deeply, whispering in her ear, “Just wait for me.”
Goongi’s cheeks glowed red at Jaehwang’s whisper. His sudden act of hitting her like this at some point, even though he usually behaved like a rock, made her heart flutter like a girl.
“Hing…”

Jaehwang entered the Su People’s capital. Jaehwang’s face was not so good, though he should be happy with the cheers that rang around him.
The head of a cat, the head of a bear, the head of a rhinoceros, the head of a lion, the head of a platoon, and the head of a tiger… Of course, it didn’t look very much like that of Earth. It’s just that it’s too confusing if he couldn’t distinguish it. The rhinoceros had a large horn on its nose and forehead, and the tiger’s head was named like that because it had a mane pattern stuck in its long protruding muzzle like a wolf.
The ones that looked familiar were the heads of the cats and lions because somehow, they have a human-like aspect. Some exceptions were the long tails of all kinds that were sticking out of it.
“Oh, ancient warrior.”
A huge square of the capital appeared and a cow-headed woman waiting in the middle of it bowed down to Jaehwang.
Whatever the oracle L gave her, their every act in terms of dealing with Jaehwang contains an extreme reverence. When Jaehwang nodded, the new girl fell on her knees reverently as if she were performing a ceremony, laying on her knees and smacking her lips at Jaehwang’s feet. The goddess of God, whom they believed, had her lips on the feet of a human being. Nevertheless, her actions have made the Su people more excited.
For them, of course, this action was quite natural, because L openly announced an oracle to all the Su peoples in the capital.
L, a Zen god they had trusted for thousands of years, told them to treat him the same way they treated her because he was an ancient warrior who descended to expel the Dark Earth Monsters from both of their words. In addition, they will make him the Grand Duke of the Su people and marry the Queen of the Dracoons in the name of L and Al. That was enough for them to believe and follow him.

In addition, he was a superpower who had wiped out all the Dark Earth monsters that were threatening the capital.
“Hm.” Jaehwang swallowed a groan while forcing his brows to narrow. He couldn’t get used to it no matter how hard he tried.
He had no problem talking to them with the translation techniques L had put on him, but the sight of all kinds of animal heads chattering in human words… He’s not that curious about the Queen of Su people either. It’s going to be wearing the head of a beast anyway.
It was then…
Beep… Beep…
As the loud drums rang, the huge gate of the royal palace, standing tall in the center of the capital, opened left and right and a group of Su peoples, dressed in glittering armor, walked out in a row. In many parts of their armor, the mana stone reflected the light and made them look more holy.
“This is the Royal Palace Division. They are here to escort the queen’s Grand Duke.”
“Is that so?” Jaehwang, who looked at them along with the saints, tilted his head.
Their spirit was quite formidable for someone who would just greet someone. The number was substantial, but at first glance, he already knew that it was over 100.
They were the ones who carried a powerful sense of mana, equivalent to the level between seven and eight-star hunters if they had gone to Earth. They were all showing hostility, big or small, to Jaehwang. The saint went ahead and bowed politely to the lion-headed leader, who stood in front of them.
But after a few words, the shaman girl suddenly glanced toward Jaehwang, but the lady’s expression that looked back at him was not good. He couldn’t read her face because of the cow mask, but her body language says she was clearly embarrassed.
Again speaking a few words, she returned to Jaehwang and fell flat on her stomach as if she had sinned.
“I’m sorry.”
“What’s going on?”
“It’s… it’s…” She couldn’t continue her words as if she dared to say an unholy thing… It was then. The lion-headed leader who talked to the lady shouted at Jaehwang. He was the strongest of the royal court knights.
“Our god L has put down an oracle, but we don’t trust you, those with human figures. Humans like you have committed a dirty crime and massacred innocent royal people not long ago in our capital city. They, too, came at first with faces disguised as goodwill, but behind them were only their ugly greed.”
Thud… boom!
When he hit the floor with the giant halberd he was carrying, a hundred royal knights who followed him also stamped their feet. All the Su people who cheered for Jaehwang fell silent as if they had made a promise to do so.
“However, we cannot ignore the oracle L has given us, but we will test the force of the ancient warriors here because he is said to be so powerful to drive out those evil dark creatures and humans!”
Thud… boom!
When he finished speaking, the palace knights took three steps back. Then, the lion-head holding the halberd came forward and stretched his shoulders. As if to show off his natural physical strength, he was wearing heavy gloves that looked to weigh over 300 kilograms. His height was about three meters, and the energy that was coming out of him seemed to be close to a 9-star hunter.
The shaman girl in the cow head then roared, “Leader of the Royal Guard! How dare you disobey L’s sacred and solemn will! Isn’t the test of force over already? The ancient warrior killed countless of Dark Earth creatures in one gulp before he came here. That incredible history is something that many people have clearly seen with their eyes, which I also assume you have—”
Her remark was interrupted by the captain of the lion head or the chief of the Royal Guard.
“We all heard of L’s solemn oracle. But I, Kodak El Lakers, are part of the living witnesses who have seen every single wrongdoing that those manipulative humans have done on our land! I can’t believe it! No matter how much L means it, I won’t change my mind even if his punishment would fall on me right now.”
The shaman girl shook her head at his words and said, “Captain! I’m saying this out of concern for you!”
Although he was committing an act of profanity against the will of God, he was both a pillar and an important figure to support this kingdom. If he tried to test a warrior and died at Jaehwang’s hands, he might not be able to fulfill L’s holy will.
“I swear in L’s name that even if I were killed by him here, I wouldn’t have a single grudge!”
The shaman shook her head at his words. It was not that she didn’t know what the head of the Royal Guard was thinking. She, too, would not have served this ancient warrior so sincerely if L had not personally put down an oracle. The head of the Royal Guard was a sacred line of royal blood with a sacred “L” in his middle name. When he gets hurt, things would look ugly.
“Well, the bottom line is you’re going to play me.” Jaehwang walked past her without a pause. As he stepped forward, the royal division captain’s mane trembled.
“Yes! I, Kodak El Lakers, ask you, ancient warrior, for combat!”
Holding his halberd tightly, he lowered his position. It had come to a point where it could no longer be stopped.
“I’ll reveal the ugly faces of you humans.” The head of the Royal Guard growled, revealing his long fangs. The murderous intent and jealousy that flowed from him ate into the surrounding area, as his lion’s snare began to spark. This was proof that he was a superhuman who has reached an extreme peak.
‘I’m sure that that evil human being did something about it.’ He had fought quite a few battles with humans and in the process, he also saw many incomprehensible objects that humans have. He was convinced that that ancient warrior was also a fraud.
“Cute.” Jaehwang walked unguardedly to the head of the Royal Guard, who was only looking for a chance to lower his posture and run. As their distance drew closer, the Mana Stones stuck in the leader’s armor began to shine brilliantly. The Mana stones crafted with special visions have the power to amplify the leader’s mana in an instant.
He was able to cut the neck of a Tier-9 monster because of it but…
Stomp…
As the body of the ancient warrior got closer, the head of the Royal Guard began to tremble.
Stomp…
One more step… The explosive surge of speculation and life in his mind dissipated like flame meeting a fire extinguisher.
Stomp…
His strong weapon, the Halberd, felt too heavy.
Stomp…
His eyes instinctively fell to the floor. It was the cry of an unfamiliar instinct that he had never heard before, and it shattered his determination to fight.
‘Come at me and you will die.’
And…
Rub…Rub
Someone patted his head.
“Good boy.”
The chief of the Royal Guard was feeling something… from deep inside his belly… and then, he closed his eyes tightly to feel the expression of that good feeling which was an instinct.
“Arrrrrrrr…”
“Cute boy…”
