Does the Golden Dragon Dream of the Invincible Legion (1)
Tsukuyo, who returned after everything was over, seemed ready to be beaten by Kang Shin-hyuk, but he didn’t ask her anything. Tsukuyo was on the verge of being embarrassed by his reassuring reaction.
[Anvil…? Won’t you ask…?]
“I think I already know as much as I need to.”
[I’ll pay the price of the death of the humans, to Anvil…]
“If you hadn’t been there, something worse would’ve happened. So I can only say thank you, Tsukuyo.”
The fox cub wore a strange expression as Kang Shin-hyuk gently stroked her hair.
“Thank you, Tsukuyo. You’ve been very considerate.”
[Ah, ah, aah… Kyaahaa!]
The fox seemed to have no idea what to do with the feelings of sorrow and despair and eventually fainted as it couldn’t withstand the gentle strokes. Only then did Kang Shin-hyuk feel a little relief as he let out a sigh.
-…You handled the fox so easily.
“Well, after that, you still had something to say.
-1,500,000HP bonus!
The administrator let out a record-breaking HP bonus and disappeared. Kang Shin-hyuk tried to contact the administrator several times, but eventually, he gave up, seeing as there was no response. Instead, he found Jinseok Lee among the mercenaries scattered around the base camp.
“What are you doing?”
“Oh, checking the dead… We have to collect the reward later.”
They were working on something that left a very bitter aftertaste. Kang Shin-hyuk hesitated for a moment, but he had to be careful of displaying his emotions, so he smiled bitterly and tapped his shoulder.
“Is it field practice to raise morale?”
“We don’t have a good track record, so we should do something like this together… Yo.”
Right now, Jinseok Lee was dealing with Kang Shin-hyuk under the position of ‘the executive form the Gunners guild who communicates with the Death Puppeteer about the Zeus matter.’ That happened after Kang Shin-hyuk, who pretended not to know him, had demanded the Gunners guild to work with him.
“What about Hye-na and Woon-hyung?”
“Checking the luggage list. They’re doing a pretty executive job…”
“For the time being, they’ll be busy learning.”
The existing executives of the Gunners guild (half of them had died) were excited to have a connection with the Death Puppeteer, which would assuredly raise their rankings should they make it back. That had resulted in his family from the orphanage becoming executives themselves, regardless of their ability. It was also a good opportunity for them, as all three had awakened.
“Yes, actually, I want to do ability training by myself! I don’t know about Woon-hyung, but I can’t lose to Hye-na…”
Jinseok Lee muttered such nonsense as he whispered quietly into Kang Shin-hyuk’s ear. Kang Shin-hyuk gently struck his friend’s head.
“You? Study? Jinseok Lee?”

“Ah-oh!”
Jinseok Lee glanced at him, but then he retreated as he knew he was asking too much of Kang Shin-hyuk. In fact, hadn’t he already been receiving help? He was able to emerge as a core executive of the Gunners because Kang Shin-hyuk’s trait worked.
‘Since Zeus has been completely destroyed, the Gunners will even take the No. 1 position.’
Quite a number of them had died to Zeus’s tactics, but they were different from Zeus, who had been wiped out. There was also evidence that Zeus was clearly connected to Jormungand, so everyone related to them was captured after they contacted the Korean Superhuman Association.
‘…The scariest part is that Eunah’s parents were caught without an issue.’
He knew that they were former high-rankers. However, it was suspicious that they were captured by the police without any resistance or even attempted to escape. Maybe they assumed their daughter would release them, but Shin Eunah reported to the association first.
“God… Death Puppeteer? So, what happened? You look serious.”
“Ah, no.”
He bid farewell to his friend and headed for the wall. Somehow, his feet unconsciously took him forward to Eleanor, who was standing outside the wall. He had given her a buff a while ago, but he could still feel traces of his energy in her. He went to talk to her, but as soon as he saw the person confronting her, he hastily disappeared into the dark.
“You’re stupid, Rose.”
The one talking to her, although she covered her face with a robe’s hood, was obviously the British princess Olivia. Only then did Kang Shin-hyuk realize there was a barrier in this area. As Kang Shin-hyuk wasn’t affected by magical power, he had naturally ignored the barrier.
“Is it stupid to try and save your family?”
Eleanor’s voice was extremely calm and cold, unlike her usual demeanor when she spoke in Korean. Listening to her aristocratic tone, he remembered that she was royalty.
“It’s stupid, much more so than my brother who left me in the enemy camp and ran away.”
“…He’s done now.”
“Alright.”
Eleanor groaned, and Oliva replied spitefully.
“You helped me. If you didn’t, he would’ve become king.”
“I don’t care who will rule. I just went to help because my sister was in danger.”
“Is there some school break left?”
Eleanor reacted sensitively to her, suddenly turning the subject.
“I’ve no intention of going back to England right now.”
“It’s not difficult. I want you to declare support for me.”
Eleanor laughed. She asked her to declare support for her, who had been politically used inside the royal family? There had to be a condition for that offer to work…
“Do you mean to reveal my identity in Masked Bacchus?”
“Yes.”
“I refuse.”

Eleanor spoke firmly and turned away. Olivia called out to her back.
“What do you think about the Puppeteer?”
“…What about him?”
“You, do you love him? I can see it from a distance.”
Eleanor turned, wondering why she was bringing this up now.
“I can prepare the title of duke if you marry him and return. I will prepare enough land to satisfy you both. I can take care of everything else that a superhuman’s power alone cannot obtain.”
“He’s not mine.”
“It’s fine if you don’t like me! I was considerate of you, but if you come out like this, really…!”
Perhaps she was surprised at Eleanor’s reaction, which was calmer than she thought, so Oliva shouted. However, Eleanor replied with a laugh.
“He’s even more, not yours.”
“You…?”
“We are satisfied with our relationship and our position now. I’m sure he’ll respond to your suggestion the same way. If that’s all, I’ll be going.”
Eleanor’s attitude toward her sister was extremely confident. There was no longer the shadow of the young girl from about a year ago who tried to hide from the politics of England.
“Huh… Is it because you’re young? You don’t know a man yet, Rose.”
“At least I know him better than my sister. We’re very close.”
“Someone close to you? Then, he too…”
Seeing Eleanor’s stability, Oliva tried any means to shake her. The strength she displayed on the battlefield was too much to leave outside of England. It would be best if she could bring her in with the Puppeteer; just recruiting her would be a great help.
“Sister.”
Eleanor interrupted Olivia with a cold voice.
“I hope you don’t grow too curious about him.”
“You know?”
“I’m telling you because I know.”
Eleanor spoke calmly and stuck her spear on the floor. It broke through the earth like splitting tofu.
“Because I’m ready to do whatever it takes to prevent harm to him. I don’t know what might happen, especially if my identity might be exposed.”
“You’re threatening me? I will be the queen of the British Empire.”
“Look at reality, sister.”
Eleanor grinned as she pulled up her spear from the ground.

“If I confessed to all of England, what would your name be worth?”
“You dare?!”
“There’s nothing more to say, so go.”
She paused and then seemed to remember something as Olivia stared at her suddenly.
“If you want to get even a little help in restoring Gibraltar, it would be better to bury your complaints in your heart.”
“…”
Realizing that neither the pride of royalty nor the authority of England had worked, Oliva turned away weakly; Eleanor’s resolute attitude was unbreakable.
“Ah…”
Once she was gone, Eleanor turned her head. That gaze fell right on Kang Shin-hyuk, hiding in the dark. Kang Shin-hyuk shrugged, wondering when she had noticed.
“I’m sorry you saw an ugly sight.”
“It looked pretty good, but why?”
“Ah…”
Kang Shin-hyuk laughed as she twisted away.
“You were really paying attention when you came here, to England, that is. Is that okay to say?”
“That, I care a lot now. I want to bet my honor and get Gibraltar back. But…”
Eleanor paused.
“Because I don’t have to go in now.”
“It’s important to know where you are.”
“Thanks to you.”
Eleanor strode towards him. He flinched away and evaded what he thought was a hug, but she reached out and grabbed his hand.
“It’s all thanks to you that I’m able to find my center.”
“Uh… So.”
“So, I will continue to be with you in the future.”
Whether as a part of Masked Bacchus or not. Eleanor declared so as her purple eyes twinkled.
“I’ll fight by your side.”
After that, he learned that Eleanor’s trait had bloomed and grew to the SSS-rank.
Together with that, he learned that Hell had undergone a racial evolution, and he felt amazed upon realizing that his trait wasn’t simply at the level of awakening the incompetent.
