Chapter 108: Triumphant Return
Whoooosh.
A biting cold wind, like it was cutting through flesh, lashed his face.
A phenomenon I’d experienced once before.
‘Here again?’
Still, the situation was much better than when I first arrived.
Kwaaaaah.
Kwaaak!
Because the black dragon flying overhead was devouring the source of the cold, the chill quickly dissipated.
The problem was.
‘But isn’t that thing getting way too big?’
The more cold it consumed, the more the dragon’s size grew by the minute.
As if it intended to fill the entire world.
Sure enough.
After devouring the entire source, the dragon let out a massive roar.
Kwaaaaah!
Overwhelmed by its mythical majesty, my mouth opened wide without my realizing it.
And then.
Shiver shiver shiver.
Even knowing the dragon’s true identity was the Zhenwangji sealed within my body, my body trembled.
‘I was harboring something like this?’
Shaking with fear at its ferociousness, as if it would devour the world, our eyes met.
Kwaaah!
The black dragon roared again, flying straight toward me.
Shhhhh.
It entered my body.

“Huh!”
“You’re awake.”
My surprise at the unfamiliar ceiling lasted only a moment. Hearing the familiar voice of Baek of the North Palace, I relaxed.
“Where am I?”
“Your home.”
“Huh?”
Only then did I look around and realize I was in the former Jo Family Hall, now the Moojeon residence.
“You were asleep for three days.”
” Only three days?“
I lost consciousness on Jomchang Mountain.
Yet I awoke in Guryongseong.
Over two thousand li traveled in just three days.
