‘Who is it?’
Hyeonu shifted his vigilance toward the individual who avoided his senses and appeared. No matter how focused he was on cooking the meat, he didn’t loosen his mind enough to stop watching his back. Hyeonu used Mysterious Sky Steps and quickly moved to Tang-E’s side. At the same time, he turned his head in the direction where the voice was heard.
“Demon?” It was a humanoid figure who entered Hyeonu’s eyes. It was an individual with dark skin unique to the demon race. The unusual thing was that his eyes and hair were a dark purple.
“Demon? Are you talking about me? Right now, the meat is in front of you, so I will hold back. The next time you bark like a dog, your two lives will be done. Or you can come up with some fresh dog noises.” The eyes of the male individual with purple hair met Hyeonu’s.
Thump.
Hyeonu heard the loud illusive sound of something falling in his ears. Obviously, there was no object that had fallen, yet such a sound was heard in Hyeonu’s ears.
“This guy? The meat is going to burn.” The male individual with the purple hair seemed anxious that Hyeonu wasn’t turning off the fire and reached out to the branches that were still emitting heat. The moment the male individual reached out, the branches disappeared. It literally disappeared. They didn’t even turn into powder. It was gone as if it had been erased by an eraser.
Hyeonu realized it when he saw it—the unknown male individual in front of him was a monster; a monster like the emperor or Lebron. ‘Maybe it is more than them.’
It was very likely. They had never caused such a strange phenomenon.
“Who are you?” Hyeonu asked the purple-haired male individual without putting away his fork.
The male individual approached naturally and grabbed the fork from Hyeonu’s hand. “What is the point of knowing? Why? Are you curious?”
The male individual grabbed the meat from the stone plate with the fork and brought it to his mouth. Then he slowly felt the taste of the meat. “Ah, this is really delicious. It is almost the best meat I’ve eaten in my life, the best.”
The purple-haired male individual tasted Hyeonu’s steak and he was full of praise. One time, two times—the male individual continued to pick up the pieces of steak.
Tang-E was watching blankly, only to come to his senses. For Tang-E, the identity of the individual didn’t matter. The most important thing was that the amount of meat he could eat was shrinking. Tang-E quickly picked up the meat with a fork. He ate three at a time. Tang-E’s expression changed as he ate the meat quickly.
The male individual had a slightly stiff expression. Then he also increased the speed at which he moved the fork. The stone plate was soon clean.
Tang-E and the violet-haired male individual quickly cut all the meat.
“Have you finished?” Hyeonu confirmed that the male individual had put down the fork and opened his mouth.
“It was a very delicious meal. The meat was cooked in moderation and the saltiness is just to my taste. Yes, you want to know who I am?” The individual looked very satisfied.
“Yes.” Hyeonu nodded. It was beneficial to know such a strong person. It would help one day.
“My name is Callioraks. The one who claims to be the source of the demon world. I am also the only dragon in the demon world. I am probably older than anyone you know, so don’t think about speaking informally.” The male individual with the purple hair, Callioraks, was cool. His self-introduction was perfect from beginning to end.
‘The only dragon in the demon world, Callioraks.’ Hyeonu repeatedly mused over Callioraks’ name. He was planning to ask other people about it later.
“Then why are you here? The only dragon in the demon world...” Hyeonu continued to ask Callioraks questions to resolve his doubts.
Callioraks replied with a smile, “Why am I here? Just know that there is a situation. I have something to find.”
Hyeonu listened to Callioraks’ words and fell into thought.
‘What is he looking for? Is it perhaps a quest?’
He thought it was possible. It wasn’t bad to try it. It would be best if he got a quest.
“Can you tell me what you are looking for? I want to help if I can.” Hyeonu carefully conveyed his will to Callioraks.
“You? Um... Yes, then come here.” Callioraks beckoned to Hyeonu. Hyeonu approached Callioraks. Callioraks placed his hand on Hyeonu’s head like it was natural. A purple energy emerged from Callioraks’ body and entered Hyeonu’s head.
“That's it. I don’t think it is possible, but if you find what I’m looking for... I will give you a reward. Oh, I will add something for the meat I ate today at that time.” Callioraks disappeared with a leisurely wave of his hand. He was swaying his arms by his side as he walked, but it was very fast. It felt like he folded the ground as he moved dozens of meters with a single step.
‘What does he mean?’ Hyeonu’s expression distorted when he saw Callioraks disappearing as suddenly as he showed up. He wanted to receive a quest, but there was nothing.
“Shit!” Hyeonu kicked the wall. Just then, a message window rose in front of Hyeonu’s eyes.
