Episode 91. Big Game Hunter
The day when humanity was destroyed and a long life was about to end.
Through a pact with the only being who blocked his advance, Tasian was forced to continue a life that would soon disappear.
It was a promise that did not need to be kept.
The only reason he went on a rampage was because he was annoyed by the insects who were intoxicated with authority and trying to compete with him due to their mediocre war skills before he had time to calm down the chaos.
‘Give me a chance. A chance for them to prove their worthiness to exist in this world…….’
He could have destroyed such an annoying being even now, but why did he make a promise that he didn’t have to make and continue his life until now?
It was something he couldn’t understand even if he kept repeating it over and over again, and that’s why Tasian defined it all as a ‘whim’ and was still regretting the promise he made that day.
The words uttered by the dragon, which is no less than a part of the world, carry a lot of weight, and therefore, whatever the promise made, it had to be fulfilled.
So, no matter how much he hates the people around him, he will never go on a rampage until the day the promise is fulfilled…….
“In such a situation, the future in which I wipe out the human army has soon appeared before you, right?”
“Yes, yes. Is it so. Obviously, seeing that future……. hehehe!”
The fortune teller is scared and cowers as soon as he raises his finger because he thinks he is telling nonsense.
The sight of him trembling and clutching his head, which had sprouted a lump, was an act of fear to anyone who saw him.
“… “If you don’t want to be hit, why don’t you speak more politely?”
After sending him away, while I was stopping by the market to buy some snacks, he suddenly came to me, grabbed me by the collar, and shouted at me, asking what happened, but how could I be polite to him?
“So, what were you thinking when you came to where I am?”
However, since he has the ability to see the future, there must be a good basis for his actions.
Tasian, sitting on a bench in her square, took out her cigarette and asked, and her Iri began to look up at her with her wary attitude.
“W-what are you thinking?”
“If you had seen my past, you would know. “For me, a promise is absolute.”
A dragon is a being that is in itself a part of the world.
Even every word spoken is like a permanent rule in the world, and if it becomes a promise, it is impossible for even a being called God to break it.
And although it may be inconceivable from her perspective, if she had predicted a future in which he would die, she would most likely have tried to find a way to avoid that death.
“But as a way to block it, you choose to come in and criticize me directly… You don’t think you can roast me just because you can see the future, do you?”
“Well, I don’t think so. Controlling you in the first place is like moving a mountain or splitting an ocean.”
Yes, she is on a different level from other transcendents.
If the intervention of fate by individual transcendents is limited to the individual or his surroundings, the future that is changed by the whims of the person in front of him extends at least to the ‘country or regional level.’
The butterfly effect that will occur in the distant future as a result will bring about catastrophe to the world.
It would be extreme arrogance to think that the disaster that such a being wanted to cause could be prevented simply by knowing the future.
“Then why did you come to me instead of helping that guy?”
“That’s because when you revealed your true face, he was standing right next to me.”
Shocked. The moment Tasian’s body, who was smoking a cigarette, trembled slightly.
Is that reaction because the statement was unexpected?
Or maybe he was hiding his true feelings all along……. For example, because he uncovered ‘hidden details’ in the agreement he made?
“To a dragon, a treaty is absolute……. “You’ve said it so emphatically so many times.”
Whether it is the former or the latter, it is not something to be taken lightly.
If it is the former, it would mean that her contract was broken for reasons that she herself could not have anticipated.
If it is the latter, it would mean that there is a workaround in the contract itself in the first place, and that it will be possible to release power regardless of the contract in the near future.
“In such a situation, even though Hyosung is alive, a future in which you liberate your power has appeared. “Isn’t this a story you can’t overlook?”
“…What is the possibility that it is a future that was incorrectly verified?”
“The future can change, but the changed future is also based on the present. Among the futures I foresee, there is no such thing as a future without a basis.”
Obviously, his survival is the key to his contract, so despite his survival, he revealed his true self, something that cannot be taken lightly.
Nevertheless, if something goes wrong, it can be said that it is something that must be prevented, even if it means taking action on my part.
If something unexpected is predicted to happen in the distant future, there may be a need to find and eliminate the signs right away.
“… “I don’t have any specific guess.”
“Is there really no guessing part? Are you lying…….”
“What? “You want to get hit again?”
Tassian clenches his fists as soon as he raises his voice.
Her Airi, realizing belatedly that she had almost climbed over her, cowered her body, but even so, her interrogation of her was carried out, albeit passively.
“Ji, please think seriously. “This is not something you should take lightly.”
They say there is nothing more offensive to a dragon than saying lies, but it is not easy to keep one’s cool as this is also a matter of concern to one’s companion.
Even he could have found it offensive and slapped her, but Tasian eventually withdrew her hand and tried to think about her words.
A situation arises where one goes on a rampage without meeting the conditions of the contract…
At least there was nothing that I could guess right away.
You might not know if someone other than yourself intervened.
“Is that dragon really me?”
“Yes?”
“You’ve never seen my true face in the first place. “I’m not the only dragon in this world.”
“… That’s a story from the past. Tasian, you are the only dragon left in this world right now, right?”
The possibility that a dragon other than her would appear was something I had in mind from the beginning.
But by the time I met her again, that possibility had been ruled out through my reading of her past.
By the time she decided to destroy humanity, all of her dragons except her had already died and disappeared from this world.
Since they were born empty and their desire to procreate has faded, it is highly unlikely that the children left behind by dragons who have reached the end of their lives remain somewhere in the world.
“That’s right, I’m the only dragon left in this world.”
Even that is the result of being forced to live a long life through a promise based on a whim, but how can he now consider the possibility that dragons other than himself exist in the world?
And yet, while he is alive and well, a dragon appears in front of him…….
“Extra-extra, extra-extra!! “We are currently recruiting merchants and mercenaries to head to the excavation site in the imperial castle!”
Just when I was thinking about investigating the cause myself, I heard someone’s shout coming from the middle of the market.
As I turned my gaze, I saw a newspaper employee in charge of information activities for this empire wandering the streets.
Moreover, as the topic raised was a hot topic, the interest of people around him was also growing.
“The Imperial Castle is recruiting people?”
“If it is an excavation site, are there any ruins found anywhere? “I don’t think it’s enough to be excluded from dungeons.”
“Don’t be surprised when you hear this! It is said that dragon bones were unearthed in a mountainous area located at the southern tip of the continent!”
-Roaring.
Uproar arose among the people gathered at the market hearing the following news.
What I just mentioned was something they could never overlook.
“Dragon bones, is that true?”
“I thought that was something that only appeared in children’s books… ….”
“No, if the imperial family talks about it, it’s probably worth walking.”
“The old woman next door to her was talking about seeing a dragon or something. Does that have something to do with it?”
“No matter what, if I sell some supplies, I can make a lot of money.”
Excavation work led by none other than the imperial power, Hwangseong.
In fact, as it was considered one of the most important operations in the empire, the merchants at the market could not help but become more interested.
The living dragon was also eavesdropping on the story.
“Hey, half-body kid.”
The corpse of a member of the same race was discovered by humans.
After hearing those words, Tasian dropped the cigarette in his mouth to the floor and immediately began to turn his attention back to Airi.
“Check the future again now.”
“…The future?”
“Yes.”
Brotherhood has long since been reduced to ashes.
Nevertheless, at this moment, I felt my heart tighten as soon as I heard the news that the bodies of my compatriots had been exhumed.
This is not simply a reaction caused by heightened emotions.
This means that one’s very existence is sensitive to the current news.
Airi, who sensed that something was getting serious from Tasian’s reaction, immediately took out her crystal ball and attempted to predict the future.
“This…” ….”
A sight that gradually appears in response to her power.
The moment she realized that a clear change had occurred in the future, Airi’s expression began to harden.
“Tell me.”
And that changed future is probably unfolding just as she thought.

The moment her vitality gradually sparked a fire in her dead eyes, Tashian had an intuition of such a future.
“How will I act in the future you see?”
It felt like the longest life span of over 10,000 years.
Even at the end of her most painful life, the end has finally begun to come.
****
And then, time passed and the day of the expedition arrived.
Before Garam began his duties at the excavation site in earnest, he followed the guide sent by the imperial castle and headed to the place where the warriors’ meeting was held.
For most missions, freedom of action and judgment is guaranteed to the warrior, but since the Imperial Castle made requests to a large number of warriors, their treatment was bound to be severe.
“This is where the warriors who will participate in this expedition will gather.”
“Ah, yes. “Thank you for guiding me.”
“Okay, then…” ….”
A receptionist who walks you to the door and then leaves.
Soon Garam stood alone in front of the grand gate, caught his breath out of nervousness, and thought about the conversation he had with his sponsor before coming here.
‘Excavation will mainly involve digging the ground, so is there a need to bring warriors?’
‘This is not a simple excavation work. It is said that the Empire is considering sending a legion there, and that more than ten warriors are already heading there. In fact, it is safe to say that it is a military post, so many people are still focusing their attention there.’
‘…… ‘Is the dragon bone really that important?’
‘Because the product of the legend has been revealed in person. I’m not sure, but the imperial family sees it as very important, so it’s something we, who grow up eating the empire’s rust, can’t take lightly.’
No matter what, since it is a place where people gather, there will be plenty of opportunities to make a contribution.
For the nobles who were on the verge of collapse, this excavation work, which attracted the attention of mankind’s largest army and many warriors, was seen as a way to turn things around.
‘Mr. Garam. ‘You know that the reason I don’t stop investing in you, the so-called doom warrior, is not just because I sympathize with you, right?’
‘Yes, yes. ‘I know.’
‘The investment in you is gradually paying off, but even that still feels inadequate. Let’s keep this momentum going and drive that spotlight into this dig. It’s about proving your worth.’
Proof of value.
For a warrior who shines by becoming an idol to the public, it could be said to be more important than anything else.
The same applies to Garam. For Garam, who was afraid of being labeled as incompetent, this excavation was seen as an opportunity, as was the nobleman who became his sponsor.
‘Yes, if I make a contribution in this matter, activities with my brother will become more comfortable.’
Everything is done to live like a human being and survive in this world.
With only that one thing in mind, Garam immediately opened the door and entered the meeting place where the warriors were gathered.
Unlike himself, he is full of vanity and arrogance, and goes to a den of people who think that they will not welcome him who dares to wear the label of a hero of elimination.
-Roaring.
However, when I actually entered the meeting place, what I encountered was the appearance of people whispering while looking at one part of the room.
The equipment they wore showed that each and every one of them was a warrior, but what was actually depicted on their faces could be called confusion over an incomprehensible phenomenon.
“What is it, that guy? “Are you a hero?”
“Oh, well. You’re famous. The weirdest of all weirdos…….”
The heroes who are always looking for an object of contempt are the ones who focus their attention, leaving the Elimination Hero alone.
Unlike usual, Garam, who realized that his presence had become like air, immediately turned his gaze to the place where their attention was focused.
A corner area inside a restaurant where dinner is served.
The first thing that caught my eye about the person sitting there writing the seal was the lower half of his body hidden by a cloth, and the next thing that caught my eye was his upper body without even a single thread.
But what was even more unusual was that it was a paper bag with only eye holes visible on the top.
‘Is that the person Hyoseong oppa was talking about?’
A man sitting looking like a beggar.
Garam remembered a tinnitus he had heard from an acquaintance one day, and immediately began to stare at the person in question.
‘…Is that person really a big game hunter?’
Lim Taeyang, a big game hunter.
The strongest warrior who has wiped out the most monsters (boss level) in this world.
