Chapter 381

“Do you want to send it?”

Monia, the gold dragon, muttered to herself as she remembered Hetonia.

“You didn’t send it, did you?”

It was very likely that she had been told to send it, but she hadn’t. No, the Hetonia we’ve seen so far would not have sent it.

Sigh

Monia waved her hand.

Siaak

A golden portal then appeared in front of Monia. It was a portal to Hetonia’s temporary rarity.

Jumbled

Monia muttered as she stepped through the portal.

“I’m going to have to let him go, even if it’s by force.”

It was a small chance, close to zero, but a dispute could happen. Monia decided to keep the pressure on until Hetonia sent it.

“…?”

But when Monia, Hetonia’s temporary Rare, arrived in Hetonia’s room through the portal, she couldn’t help but panic.

“Where’s the gold?”

Hetonia’s chamber was made of gold, but the gold was nowhere to be found.

“…”

Monia was puzzled by the sudden change in Hetonia’s room and began to explore the room and its surroundings. She wanted to find Hetonia, the owner of the room.

“No? Humans too?”

But when Monia finished her search, she was unable to accomplish her goal. She could not sense Hetonia’s aura. No, not just Hetonia’s, but the humans here as well.

“How can this be…”

For some reason, Monia, the Dragon of Wisdom, didn’t understand either.

“I can’t even read it.”

If she could read the spatial memories, she would know what had happened, but Monia could not read them.

It’s not that she doesn’t know how to read memories. The reason Monia couldn’t read it was because of Hetonia’s mana, which was all over it.

“Grrr…”

Monia frowned slightly at Hetonia’s mana, which didn’t budge when she pushed it away.

That was the moment.

Siaak

The moment Monia frowned, a portal appeared. It was obvious that the portal had been created by the Green Dragon, as she could sense the aura of her kind, and the color of the portal was green.

‘It’s not Hetonia. Who is it?

But the portal was not made by Hetonia. The aura of the portal was too strong to be Hetonia.

Sigh

While Monia was thinking, someone walked out of the portal.

“…!”

Monia was very surprised to see him walk out of the portal.

“Monia of the Gold Clan.”

Monia quickly wiped her surprised expression and bowed her head in greeting.

“Greetings, Haputanis, leader of the Green Clan.”

Stepping out of the portal was none other than Haputanis, the leader of the Green Clan.

“Monia? Why are you here?”

Haputanis asked, looking at Monia, who greeted him. Monia cautiously opened her mouth to answer Haputanis’ question.

“I’m here to see Hetonia.”

“…”

Haputanis’s expression hardened momentarily at Monia’s answer.

“Hetonia is…”

And Haputanis opened his mouth with a stern expression and said.

“Back to the wind.”

“…!”

Monia’s expression hardened at Hafutanis’s words this time.

“Back to the wind?

The green dragon, the symbol of the wind, returned to the wind, which could only mean one thing.

“Hetonia’s dead?

It’s death.

“This is ridiculous!

Monia couldn’t believe it.

“It must be…

The last time I saw them, they were clearly alive. She wasn’t dying, and she was quite lively, so why did she suddenly die?

Siaak

Monia was thinking about Hetonia when a sudden gust of wind interrupted her thoughts and she looked at Haputanis.

“It’s you, Haputanis.

Is it because they are of the same clan? Or is it because they are stronger? Ignoring Hetonia’s mana, which was preventing her from reading the memories of the space, Haputanis read the memories left in the space.

“Human?”

Haputanis, reading the spatial memories, furrowed his brow and muttered.

“Human?

Human? Monia couldn’t help but feel a little puzzled when she heard Haputanis mutter. The memories of the space being read here were literally memories of this place. Why would the word human come out of the mouth of Haputanis, who was reading the memories here?

Jumbled

Monia wanted to ask about it, but she wasn’t in a position to ask, and as Haputanis walked away, she followed silently.

“…”

As Haputanis paced and read through the memories, anger began to build in his expression.

Jab!

Hafutanis stopped walking, and Monia, who had been following, stopped walking as well and looked at Hafutanis.

“Minghura…”

Haputanis muttered as he stopped walking.

“…!”

Monia couldn’t help but be alarmed by the mutterings that came out of Haputanis’ mouth.

‘If only…’

He would, too. Monia knew a human named Ming Hu.

“You don’t mean him, do you?

Whether or not the man Hafutanis was referring to was the one Monia knew, she didn’t know, but it was better to be safe than sorry.

“Monia.”

Just then, Haputanis called Monia.

“Yes.”

Monia, lost in thought, was interrupted by Haputanis’ call and answered it. As Monia answered the call, Haputanis asked, “What is it?

“Are you still staying near the Helioca Empire?”

“Yes.”

“Then have you ever heard of the Helioca Empire, of a human by the name of Ming Hu?”

“…!”

Hafutanis’s question took Monia by surprise again.

“I meant him!

I didn’t think they were really referring to the same person, but they weren’t. The person Haputanis was talking about and the person Monia knew were the same person.

“Why on earth would you…

Why did the human’s name come from the mouth of Haputanis?

“You can’t be serious…

A thought flashed through her mind, and Monia looked at Haputanis’s face. Haputanis’s face was filled with anger.

“This is ridiculous.

She hadn’t heard it, but the look of anger on Haputanis’s face convinced Monia that she was right.

“Hetonia to the man?

It must be the human Haputanis had spoken of, the human he knew, who had caused Hetonia to return to the winds. Otherwise, there was no reason for Haputanis to have this look on his face.

“Monia.”

When Monia didn’t answer, Haputanis called out to her once more.

“Yes, I know.”

At Haputanis’s call, Monia came to her senses and opened her mouth.

Siaak

The moment Monia answered, a gust of wind emanated from Haputanis’s body with enough energy to make Monia take a step back.

“Where is it?”

Haputanis asked Monia again, his voice icy cold.

“Well, I don’t know where I live, but…”

The anger and coldness in Haputanis’s voice made Monia cautiously open her mouth to answer the question.

“I understand you’re with Eurena.”

“…”

Hafutanis didn’t say anything in response to Monia’s answer.

“If I were Eureka…”

After a moment of silence, Haputanis spoke up.

“You mean that Eurena of the Red Clan?”

“Yes.”

Monia nodded. Then Haputanis continued.

“What do you mean you’re with Eurena?”

Ming Hu, the man who killed Hetonia, and Eurena, the dragon? Haputanis couldn’t understand what Monia was saying.

“No, thanks, I’ll have to go listen to it myself.”

But before Monia could answer the question, Haputanis shook his head. Then he raised his hand and waved it.

Siaak

Then a green portal appeared. It was a portal to Eurena’s Rare, the one that remained in Haputanis’ memory.

Jumbled

Haputanis walked through the portal and disappeared with it.

“…What do I do?

Alone, Monia looked at the spot where the portal had been and thought.

‘If you two ever get into a fight.

She wasn’t sure, but Monia had a feeling that Hafutanis and Eurena would fight. No, given Hafutanis’ current situation and Eurena’s personality, there would definitely be a fight.

“You can’t do that.

Monia shuddered once as she thought of the aftermath of Haputanis and Eurena’s fight.

“I’ll let Rod know.

Monia swallowed hard and realized that she would have to inform Dragon Lord Akima, the head of the Gold Clan and representative of the dragons, of the situation.

Swoosh swoosh

With a flick of her hand, Monia created a portal and stepped through it.

* * * * *

The unexplored Heroten Plains.

-Koohoohoohoohoohoo!

“Broadcaster coming!”

“Triple Shield!”

“Heavenly Shield!”

-Chew!

“Stun, stun, stun, giant hammer!”

“Sword of the Earth!”

“Triple Attack!”

Currently, several user parties were battling Red Ogres, the monsters that inhabit the plains, across the plains.

“That’s a lot. Is this such a good hunting ground?”

Upon entering the plains, Ming Hu saw the monsters all over the plains and the users surrounding them and attacking them, and he told Jie Li.

“Because unexplored monsters give more experience and there’s a merit quest, hehe.”

Jian Chen smirked at Ming Hu’s comment. It was true, monsters in unexplored areas gave more experience than monsters in explored areas, and they also gave you a lot of merit for quests.

Of course, not everyone could hunt in unexplored areas. Monsters in unexplored areas were stronger than monsters in explored areas and could only be hunted with high-level equipment. That’s how strong the monsters in unexplored areas were.

“Sure, the rewards are huge.”

Ming Hu remembered the hunting grounds in the unexplored regions where he had once taken quests from Alkan. A black castle where Prominus was the boss, a city of ogres where he struggled with physical immunity, and so much more.

That was the moment.

Tsk!

Red Ogre has been regenerated to the left of Minghu and Lingering.

-Kuhehehehehe

The Red Ogre roared at Ming Hu and Delay. Ming Hu’s reminiscing was interrupted by the roar in his ears, and he turned to look at the Red Ogre.

-Koohoohoo!

Was it angry that Ming Hu was staring at it? The Red Ogre let out another angry roar and began to run.

“Ugh! It’s dangerous!”

As the Red Ogre ran, a nearby party member called out to Ming Hu and Jie Li. The user’s shout implied danger. Of course, Ming Hu and Jie Li weren’t in danger. It was the Red Ogre that was running towards them.

But the user who didn’t know that called out in a worried voice to Myung-hoo and Ji-yeon as they continued to walk.

“Hey, come over here, it’s a penetrating attack on these guys and it hurts like hell!”

Ming Hu smiled at the worried user’s cries and opened his mouth.

“Moving Strike.”

Puck!

With a traveling strike, Ming Hu moved in front of the Red Ogre and immediately followed up with a punch.

-Kuhhhhhh…

whisk

The fist crashed down and the Red Ogre fell with a pain-filled groan.

“Come towards us…”

The user was about to say something when the Red Ogre fell, but was immediately silenced. The silenced user was unable to say anything.
