183. The Greatest Safe Zone on Earth

* * *

Cheon Do-woon rode Blue and landed in the yard.

Kim Na-ri, who had been waiting for him to arrive, ran towards him holding a piece of drawing paper.

“The uncle is here!”

“Yeah, I’m back. Are you done drawing?”

“Drew it. Where is our vine?”

“The siblings will come and get you. They’re coming.”

The brother and sister who had just arrived put the fishing net down in the yard.

They arrived later than Blue, as they flew slowly to avoid the thorns making them dizzy.

-Is this the yard?

The thornbush looked around, trembling.

Kim Na-ri and the Hanbit Research Institute chimeras surrounded the vines.

-What, there’s a lot of things!

The vine had never encountered so many creatures in its life.

The shrunken thornbush backed away and hid behind the log cabin.

“Oh, the vine is hiding!”

“Yeah. It’s hidden.”

“Why are you hiding?”

“Well, maybe it’s because he’s shy. He must have lived alone in a cave his whole life.”

Kim Na-ri became gloomy at Cheon Do-woon’s words.

“I hope Vines comes out. I have something prepared to give Vines.”

-What did you prepare to give me?

The vines thrust out a single stem bearing a flower.

Kim Na-ri, who saw that, opened up the rolled up drawing paper.

“This is it! I want to give this to you.”

There was a thorn vine drawn with crayons on the drawing paper.

The red, round marks were the flowers of the vine.

A child’s innocent drawing. Looking at it from another perspective, it is a chaotic thing with tangled seaweed stems.

‘It’s quite grotesque.’

That was the siblings’ impression. But it wasn’t a thorn vine.

-Is that me?

The vines stretched out thin stems. Kim Na-ri placed a piece of drawing paper on top of them.

-This… This is me. This is definitely me.

Vines drawn with lime and green crayons.

On the right was written the crooked handwriting of a child.

【Congratulations on joining the Coconut Family】

【Welcome to the cave area vines】

【Hello, I am Kim Na-ri】

It was a phrase that was written down haphazardly, just as thoughts came to mind.

Of course, the vine couldn’t read because it didn’t know how to write. Even though it couldn’t read, it was happy to hear that it was welcomed.

“Sir, what are those people?”

Kim Na-ri saw the hunters tangled like a skewer.

The hunters had already regained consciousness, but they pretended to be unconscious. They wanted to hear the story behind Cheon Do-woon’s account of Cheon Gong Island.

“Are those people also part of the Coconut Family?”

“No. That’s just a janitor. I need to get a tattoo on his body. I’ll have to throw it to Manager Kim.”

Cheon Do-woon took out the return stone and broke it.

The hunters, who were entangled like gulbi, were dragged along without ever hearing about Cheonggong Island.

“It’s pitiful that he’s like that.”

“Yeah. You’re pretending to faint so hard. Please let me have some mercy on you.”

“I won’t be able to sleep because I’m curious about what Sky Island is. It’s too bad.”

The siblings spoke. Contrary to their words, their eyes sparkled.

Ah, we had another fun day. The siblings laughed contentedly.

* * *

Cheon Do-woon returned after handing over the hunters to Manager Kim.

When he returned home, he was greeted by a group of people sitting around the yard, with a bonfire burning in the middle.

It was a scene where everyone was ready to hear the story of Cheonkong Island.

“Did the hunters give it to you well?”

“Oh. I even came back after checking the engraving on the order.”

Manager Kim, who had engraved the order for five people in this short period of time.

The siblings prayed for about two seconds for him, who had become pale.

“Okay, if you’re done, come and sit down. Now tell me about Sky Island.”

“I wonder if that’s really Diacity.”

“I would like to hear it too, Master.”

The siblings and Seok Woo-hyuk spoke. Kim Na-ri, who was unaware of the situation, also sat down next to them and listened.

Cheon Do-woon, who was smiling, sat down in the seat they had prepared for him.

“Where did I leave off? So… I went to that sky island when I was 16.”

Cheon Do-woon opened his mouth, recalling his childhood.

* * *

One night when Cheon Do-woon was 16 years old.

In the middle of the night, a natural gate opened, and a huge island came crashing down.

It was late at night so few people saw the island coming over.

Because it disappeared beyond the clouds in an instant, those who witnessed it thought they were hallucinating.

Cheon Do-un also did not see the moment when the island came out of the gate.

Just looking at it from a different perspective.

[What is that?]

At that time, Cheon Do-un was inside the gate on a subjugation mission.

He stopped when he saw a naturally occurring gate opening in the distance.

A huge gate of unimaginable size. Something huge was passing through it.

[Not a monster. An island… no. Land?]

A piece of land torn from the ground.

The huge piece of land rose into the sky like an island, then disappeared through the gate.

If something like that had passed the gate, there would have been chaos on the other side.

I thought so, but when I returned after completing the mission, there was no significant change.

‘Did I see things wrong?’

Could it be that I was affected by something that caused hallucinations?

As I was thinking that and forgetting about it, it started raining bugs from the sky every two days.

Big and small bug monsters pour down, moving from area to area.

[There must be a bug monster that came over from the gate. It must have made a nest somewhere. Find its source and destroy it.]

The director of the research center said. That was Cheon Do-woon’s new mission.

Cheon Do-woon went to an area where it was raining bugs.

[Is that it?]

A ruined city where most of the residents had fled. In such a place, a rain of bugs was pouring down.

[I guess I can just go against that crowd.]

Cheon Do-woon looked at the monsters, targeted one, and ran.

A sleeping monster about 5 meters in size.

Chun Do-woon, who was riding on top of it, let out a thread from his fingers.

He pulled the monster’s head upward, holding it in place as if he was filling the reins with it.

-Kikigikik!

The sleeping monster twisted its body and tried to tear off Cheondoun.

Cheon Do-woon grabbed the sleeping man’s head. His fingers stood up as if they would penetrate the solid armor.

[Rebelliously?]

Cheon Do-woon asked. It was a bonus that he brought up the energy he had been hiding.

The insects that had been pouring down from the sky were startled by the energy and scattered in all directions.

-Kikigi…! Gigging… .

The sleeping monster curled its tail into a ball. It became docile as if it had never been so vicious.

[You’re good. How nice it is when you listen to me. Then I won’t have to kill you either. Is that okay?]

It’s not good. It’s just scary. The 70-year-old sleeping monster broke out in a cold sweat, feeling nervous for the first time in his life.

The sleeping monster had no intelligence to think.

But I instinctively knew that I should not rebel against the emperor riding on my back.

[Let’s go up. Let’s go back to where you came from.]

Cheon Do-un pulled up the thread that was woven like a rein. And so he began to fly backwards into the sky on a giant dragonfly.

A child hiding in a nearby building gaped in shock at the sight.

[Mom! Look at that. There’s a person riding a monster!]

[Hey. What the hell are you talking about? Close the window! Come in, monster!]

The woman pulled the child. As she was closing the window, she stopped when she saw Cheon Do-woon sleeping.

[Three, my goodness. What is that?]

With her keen eyesight, she recognized the person riding on the bed as a teenage boy.

What he’s wearing is a black combat uniform.

The boy was walking up the hill against the insect rain, armed with a gun and a knife.

[Oh, come to think of it, I heard it on the radio. They said there was a teenage mercenary boy with incredible skills. Is that kid that kid?]

A mercenary boy rumored to succeed 100% on any mission he undertakes.

That kid was definitely the mercenary. Mercenaries of that age were rare, so it was certain.

‘I heard there was someone who was dragged away by bugs. Maybe I can save that kid.’

May the mercenary boy and the people return safely. The woman prayed, holding the child in her arms.

The opponent is Torai number 17. Even if you don’t pray or anything, he’ll come back alive anyway.

The woman who did not know that looked desperately for God.

* * *

The place we arrived at riding the sleeping monster was a huge island.

A large floating island in the sky.

It was so big that when I landed on it, I felt like I was on land.

[This is what I saw beyond the gate.]

Cheon Do-woon looked around. There were large and small insect monsters swarming everywhere.

‘It’s exactly the same as the environment in the Demon World.’

It looks like the entire habitat of the bugs has been moved.

It wasn’t a wrong statement, since a part of the land of the Demon Realm was torn off and came over.

‘It’s strange. It’s not just one type. There are hundreds of different types of bugs mixed together and making a nest.’

Perhaps because of this, there were bugs that fought over territory and killed each other.

Whatever it was, flying insects would periodically jump off the island.

When they returned, they brought back one animal or one person.

‘They’re all being brought in alive. Is the purpose long-term preservation?’

Cheon Do-un smiled as he looked around the island.

[The entire island is a nest.]

Somewhere, eggs are hatching in real time. The hatched bugs are leaving the island to hunt.

First, we need to blockade the island. Cheon Do-un surrounded the entire island with mana.

A giant mana wall covered the island in a dome shape.

[That’s perfect. I’ll just lock him up and beat him.]

He smiled with satisfaction. The watching sleeping monster twitched its tail in incomprehensible goosebumps.

‘Oh, right. If there are people or animals trapped inside, we have to take them out.’

Only monsters should be able to pass through the mana wall.

[I’ve never tried a mana wall that filters out targets… I wonder if it’ll work.]

People and animals should be able to pass through. Monsters should not be able to pass through.

Cheon Do-woon looked around and flicked his hand. With that one movement, the nature of the mana wall changed.

‘Something is a bit different. It won’t work with just one try. I’ll have to do some fine-tuning.’

He began to adjust the properties of the mana wall by fiddling with them.

It was the moment when the strongest safe zone on earth was created in the old days.

[Okay. I’m done locking him up. Let’s go.]

Cheon Do-woon saw the sleeping monster he had ridden.

[Be good. I don’t kill those who listen well. Do you understand what I’m saying?]

I don’t understand. But I know I shouldn’t rebel.

The dragonfly followed him above like a balloon, with the reins held by Cheon Do-woon.

* * *

“Now, wait a minute. Master. Just a minute.”

Seok Woo-hyuk, who was listening to Cheon Do-woon, was taken aback and cut him off.

The siblings also looked at Cheon Do-woon with subtle expressions.

“You wrapped that island with your mana?”

“uh.”

“Monsters can’t pass through, but only other creatures can? Like that?”

“uh.”

“Is that possible?”

“It’s possible. You just have to make the mana wall react only to the monster’s energy.”

Cheon Do-woon said, recalling that time.

“It’s a bit of a hassle because it requires a lot of fine-tuning, but it’s not impossible.”

“What about that mana wall? Did you collect it after the expedition was over?”

“Anyway. I think I just left it there.”

Silence flowed after those words. The siblings and Seok Woo-hyuk looked at each other.

‘What’s this… I think that’s Diacity.’

The siblings thought to themselves.

The more I listened to Cheon Do-woon’s words, the more it felt like I was hearing the process of creating the strongest safe zone.

After Cheon Do-un finished his expedition, if there was anyone who happened to discover the island in the sky, their mouth would have dropped open.

He might have knelt down and shed tears, saying that this was a safe haven given by God.

There was no way that the world’s strongest safe zone would not be developed by rich people.

‘No matter how I look at it….’

‘hmm….’

‘It seems like the pioneer of Diacity is Cheon Do-woon.’

Seok Woo-hyuk and his siblings thought at the same time, “Are we hearing the origin of Diacity right now?”
