Chapter 374

Chapter 374

The Green Dragon of the Warkan Mountains, Hetonia, now Hetonia, was a human named Torenia when she came out of Yu-Gi-Oh.

“Heehee.”

Hetonia smirked as she looked at her room made of gold.

“Good.”

Hetonia, who had lived for over three thousand years, loved gold. The sight of gold was so comforting.

“…Huh?”

That was the moment.

“…”

Hetonia, who had been smiling, wiped the smile off her face and frowned. Frowning, Hetonia turned her head to face the door.

Siaak

As if waiting for it, a portal appeared in front of the door. It was a deep golden color.

Jumbled

Soon, someone walked out of the portal. It was a woman with dark golden hair and eyes, just like the portal. Hetonia looked at her and opened her mouth to speak.

“Monia!”

The blonde woman’s name is Monia.

“It’s polite not to look when you’re having fun!”

Monia frowned at Hetonia’s exclamation.

“I know you came because you wanted me to come!”

Monia didn’t want to come. As Hetonia had said, she knew it was proper etiquette not to look for her during the fun.

“…?”

Hetonia cocked her head, puzzled by Monia’s words.

“Then why are you here?”

If you weren’t going to come, why are you here?

“You.”

Hetonia asked, and Monia called after her.

“You kidnapped the family of the Emperor of the Helioca Empire, didn’t you?”

“…Huh?”

Hetonia looked at her in surprise as the unexpected words came out of Monia’s mouth.

“What the hell! Ha.”

Monia sighed again in response to Hetonia’s half-question.

“I don’t care what you’re doing, including playing with the form of a human woman despite your male body, because I respect your taste, but you’re touching a human being you shouldn’t be touching!”

“…?”

Hetonia shook her head at Monia’s words.

“Don’t mess with him, you mean that guy named Revill?

From the way he spoke, the human Monia was referring to was obviously Revil, who was imprisoned not far away.

“They may be royalty, but they’re only human.

I didn’t understand. A dragon himself was a human who shouldn’t be touched? Even if he was royalty, he was still a human.

‘I’m not Hetzling…’

Hetonia was not a newborn Herzling. She was an ancient dragon, over three thousand years old. She didn’t understand Monia’s statement that there were certain humans she shouldn’t touch.

“But Monia wouldn’t say this for nothing.

Monia was a golden dragon symbolizing wisdom, and she didn’t just spit out the words as they came.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Tell me more.”

Hetonia looked at Monia, trying to figure out what the heck that meant. In response to Hetonia’s question, Monia opened her mouth.

“If what I’ve heard is true, there is a human being in the Helioca Empire right now who is not even human. An impossibly strong human being who has solved countless things that would be difficult, impossible, even for me.”

“What does that mean?”

Monia’s words prompted Hetonia to question her again. Monia, the Gold Dragon, was called the Dragon of Wisdom, but she was no weakling. A dragon is a dragon. But is there a human strong enough to do the impossible that Monia can’t?

“Literally, a very strong human being.”

“…”

“I didn’t see it myself, Rod told me, so I can’t be sure, and besides, the source of all the information is Eurena.”

“Eurena? If you’re Eurena, do you mean him?”

Hetonia asked Monia where the information came from.

“Yes, Eurena told me not to touch the royalty or nobility of the Helioca Empire.”

“…”

Monia’s words left Hetonia speechless.

“I don’t know what you’re up to, but I think you’d better return that Helioca you kidnapped, and since you’re the source of the information, I don’t think you’ll believe there’s such a thing, but there’s no harm in upsetting her, so I’ll leave you to it.”

When Monia had finished speaking, glaring at Hetonia, she turned and walked through the portal.

Siaak

The portal disappeared just as Monia entered.

“…”

Hetonia stared blankly at the spot where the portal had been.

“What the…

I listened to Monia and realized what was going on. But even after listening, I couldn’t easily understand the situation.

“Is there such a thing as a human being?

Hetonia wondered if there might be humans weaker than her, but stronger than Monia, the dragon.

‘No’

After some thought, Hetonia shook her head.

“There is no such thing as a human being.

A dragon is a dragon, even if it is weak. Even for humans, who have unlimited potential for improvement, the difference between dragons and humans is enormous. Humans are humans, no matter how advanced they are.

“And with Eurena’s information…

I couldn’t believe that the source of the information was Eurena.

“I think you’re trying to protect him.

Recalling an incident from the past, Hetonia continued.

‘He’s not going to care about this, as long as you don’t touch him.’

Monia urged her to return the Emperor’s brother, Revil, who had been kidnapped by the Helioca Empire, but Hetonia thought about it and decided not to. She wasn’t sure, but it seemed unlikely that Eurena would intervene, as long as she didn’t touch the man Eurena had mentioned.

“I’ll send it back when the time comes anyway.

And she wasn’t going to keep him forever. Once the plan was set in motion, Hetonia intended to return not only Revil, but everyone she had kidnapped.

“The last one.

Only one person was left before the plan could begin. If only one more person is kidnapped, the plan can begin.

“Welcome.

Hetonia padded out of the room, looking forward to the moment, and smiled at the hallway ahead and the rooms on either side.

* * * * *

“When are you getting there?”

Ming Hu asked Akres. Currently, Ming Hu and Akres were leaving the headquarters and heading to where Revil and the other royals were being held.

“We’re just a little further along.”

Leading the way, Akureth answered Ming Hu’s question. He glanced around, then continued.

“But are you sure you’re going alone?”

Where the royals were being held, there was a green dragon called the Wind Dragon, a dragon so powerful that it could destroy a kingdom in a single day.

“Yes, I am. Why do you keep asking?”

Ming Hu furrowed his brow as he watched Akurezu ask the same question over and over again.

“Oh, I’m sorry.”

Akurezu apologized when Ming Hu frowned, then shut his mouth and walked on in silence.

Jab!

After a moment, Akres stopped walking, turned around to face Ming Hu, and opened his mouth.

“This is the place, you just have to go through here and you’ll get there.”

“This place?”

Ming Hu looked ahead at Akuresu’s words, and there was a small building. After examining the building, Ming Hu turned his head and looked at Akurezu.

“I thought you had a magic circle or something?”

When they talked at the magic circle, at the headquarters, Akurezu said that they would have to pass through the magic circle to get there, but so far, Ming Hu had never passed through the magic circle, nor had he ever seen it.

“Yes, this building is the entrance and the magic circle, and if you go out the back door of this building, you’ll find it.”

“Oh, yeah?”

At Akureth’s words, Ming Hu turned his head again to look at the building. When Ming Hu saw the building, Akuresu continued.

“A few words of caution: the dragon will probably notice you the moment you enter, and the Guardians inside will attack at the same time.”

“Do you have a guardian?”

Noticing it was nothing out of the ordinary, but Guardian?

“Yes, the confirmed types of Guardians include Iron Golem, Iron Gargoyle, and Hop Goblin, and there are quite a few others that we haven’t confirmed, so you can just assume this is a rare.”

“What about the way? Can we just walk straight?”

“Yes. You can walk straight ahead. The building looks small, but it’s quite large inside. You’ll have to go through several rooms before you reach the back door.”

He explained the layout of the building and stepped aside. Ming Hu stepped aside as Akurez stepped aside and approached the door.

“Be careful.”

When I reached the door, Aquares, who was standing behind me, said.

Profit

As Ming Hu listened to Akuresu, he opened the door and peered inside. A plain, unremarkable hallway came into view. After checking the inside, Ming Hu walked inside.

Siaak

[Green Dragon Hetonia’s Temporary Rare – You have entered the Safe Zone].

[This is your first entry as a user].

[First Found buff is applied].

[The First Discovery buff doubles the experience you receive for 3 days].

[You are not allowed to log out].

[Logging out is treated as death].

As he stepped inside, the scene around him changed and a message appeared. Ming Hu saw the message and turned back to face the door.

“None.”

I couldn’t see the door. It was like being in a warp. Ming Hu turned around again and looked ahead. As Akres had said, it was a straight line, and there was a door on the other side. Ming Hu muttered to himself as he walked toward the door.

“That’s where the Guardians are going to start popping up, right?”

This was a safe zone, where Minghu is now. The battle against the Guardians would begin at the gate on the other side.

“What’s coming up?”

Soon arriving at the door on the other side, Ming Hu opened the door and stepped inside, anticipating what Guardian would be waiting for him.

[Green Dragon Hetonia’s Temporary Rare – You have entered the first room].

[Akulas, the rare Guardian Hop Goblin, is enraged].

“You’re a hop goblin.

The Guardian in the first room was none other than the Hop Goblin. Ming Hu turned away from the message and looked toward the center.

“That’s him.

In the center of the room was a Hop Goblin. This was clearly Akulas, the Guardian of the first room in the message.

-Crunch!

Akulas was shivering. Not out of fear, of course. His expression was one of anger and excitement.

-Unauthorized human! Kill!

Thump! Thump!

Soon, Akulas stomped his foot on the ground, letting out a roar, and began to run toward Ming Hu.

“Blood Wave.”

Ming Hu cast Blood Wave and turned his attention away from the running Akulas to look the other way.

“That’s the second room.

On the other side was a door leading to a second room. Ming Hu slowly began to walk toward the other side, and before long, Akulas, who was running toward him, came into range of the blood wave.

-Crack!

Once again in range of the blood wave, Akulas let out a scream of pain and slowly began to fall forward.

[You have killed Akulas, the Rare Guardian Hop Goblin].

[Gains only 300,000 prestige].

[You have passed the first room].

[Level up!]

[Level up!]

[Level up!]

The message that appeared after Akulas fell.

Jab!

When Ming Hu saw the message, he couldn’t help but stop walking.

“…three ups? Three ups?
