Estio Volume 7
- Episode 9
The sacred guardian dog had already seen through the identity of Estio.
"Is it true that Shuhanan becomes pope?"
"Shuhanan is precious to us. He is the Shining One who is loved by God, has the right to tune the world, and has the power to command justice. So Yggdrasil considers him to be worthy of a pope."
Although he spoke coldly at first, Hebnicius responded kindly to Estio in contrast to how he treated others.
"But you also have the qualifications."
A huge dog walked up to Estio.
"I don't want that qualification."
"It is not a qualification that is obtained by asking for it. You are already born with qualifications, and you are left to the world. What do you think the Pope is? Who should be the Pope? That is it."
Hebnicius did not listen to Estio's opinion. He only made eye contact with him and told him the truth.
"It is the tuning of the world."
Everyone who was listening to it realized at the same time. The work of the Pope was the work of God's representative, after all, the original dragon. Shu Hanan's will to get his original title back was not at all sarcastic or mean.
"Therefore, it is only natural that Shuhanan, the original Adjuster, and you, have been given the qualifications of a more suitable pope than anyone else."
"...why are you telling me this?"
「From now on, I will guide you who are qualified to Yggdrasil. However, you cannot take your companions along this road."
It meant that only those with qualifications could meet Yggdrasil. Parker and Neju strongly objected to the fact that they could not accompany them.
"I can't let you go alone!"
"I want to go with you, Neju!"
Kai was silent because he had guessed the reason. Hebnicius' chasing continued.
"Choose. Will you meet Yggdrasil? If we don't meet, we won't be able to meet Shuhanan either."
"why......."
"Saint Yggdrasil is the one who chooses and takes care of the Pope. Because Shuhanan is being protected by Yggdrasil."
In the end, it meant that he had to pass Yggdrasil's test to meet Shuhanan.
"Estio, let's go."
"...Tsuki?"
Tsuki, who looked up at Estio's conflicting face, sighed and then said.
"I want to meet the Yellow Dragon Shuhanan."
"......"
"Go and convince the saint to come. Then, let's go meet Hwangryong together."
Tsuki, who had been following Estio at any time and in any situation, decided to let him go alone for the first time. The arrogant black cat who went along with S.T.O was also learning how to care for his loved ones.
"I'll wait."
Meow.
To the cat's affectionate expression of affection, rubbing its head gently on its leg, Estio couldn't answer either and became numb.
"I'll wait. Bye!"
"I won't move here, I'll wait for you, Leader!"
"I'll go."
Neju, Parker, and even Kai said that they waited as if they had made a promise. They wouldn't have heard Tsuki's voice, but no one objected. The hand that pushed her back moved Estio's stiff leg. Estio, who suddenly stood before Hebnicius, turned to his companions.
Then he nodded his head.
"...I will go."
wow!
As soon as Estio made his decision, the white divine power that rushed in like a storm wrapped around Hebnicius' body. The main means of transportation used by the saint's guardian dog, Hebnicius, was not running. The guardian dog was marked with a medium holy power in the Holy See. And he also had the ability to warp to move directly anywhere along the mark.
Before moving, Hebnicius wrapped his huge tail around Estio. I thought their eyes were getting brighter, but when they woke up again, they had already moved to another place.
In front of Estio's eyes, there was now a huge chapel decorated with sparkling crystals instead of a portal office. The mural depicting a lovely little angel and vines did not lose its light even at night and shimmered subtly. It was cold weather, so my breath was frozen and flowed out white. It was at that time that a gentle voice could be heard in Estio's ear as he looked at the glittering chapel window.
"Thank you for responding to my request, dear one."
Estio turned around and saw a woman standing there with her hands on her chest as if praying. Her hair was black, hanging down to the floor, as if she had never been cut in her life. But, unlike Estio's black hair, she had a strange brilliance. Like a statue carved out of jewels, she was such a shiny black color. It was a phenomenon that occurred because her holy woman was full of her divine power to every single hair of her hair, but Estio was curious as she looked like a living jewel.
"I am one of the children of St. Yggdrasil."
"This is Estio."
"'Estio'.......that's what you called it. I'm glad to know."
Saint Yggdrasil's sky-blue eyes were beautifully curved with a smile. Hebnicius, who had brought Estio, stood behind her saint.
"Thank you, Heb."
Creung.
Unlike Hebnicius who was cold to Estio and the others, he waved his tail to her like a young puppy. Estio felt familiar as if he was looking at Tsuki. After stroking the giant guardian dog once, Yggdrasil spoke again.
"Suddenly sent Heb, embarrassed."
"Yes."
Estio admitted it without pretending not to be.
"I came here at the request of Shuhanan. I did not think that I would meet Yggdrasil other than Shuhanan while carrying out the quest."
The saint closed her eyes slightly and listened to Estio's voice. So Estio asked again directly.
"Do you have anything else to tell me?"
Then Yggdrasil took a deep breath and then raised his head.
"Estio-sama, I want you to..."
No emotion could be read from the empty sky-blue eyes. Estio didn't even know if it was because he was a divine being, not a human, or because he was protected by a powerful divine power, but strangely, he couldn't look into the heart of Saint Yggdrasil. She felt like she was looking at an opaque glass window that was heavily steamed.
"I hope to meet Shuhanan-sama."
"......?"
"The only one who can calm him is the Mind Adjuster, you, the last of the Black Clan."
It was a request that made Estio a bit puzzled by the thought of meeting Shuhanan anyway. The saint kept a perplexed smile.
"From now on, I would like to tell you a little bit about Shuhanan-sama. Please forgive me for asking such a request even though I know it will be a difficult meeting."
Estio asked with a bit of anguish because she could feel her desperate will in the whispered voice.
"Does Shuhanan want to kill me?"
"If he recognized Estio-sama as one of his kind, he would never do that. But I'm afraid that he, who is full of madness and anger, devouring his own flesh and bleeding himself, will be able to recognize you as his fellow countryman."
When Saint Yggdrasil met Hwangryong, Shuhanan had already gone crazy.
Even if he opened his eyes for a moment, he could not overcome his anger and was full of self-inflicted wounds. Even if her body was injured, she quickly recovered by pouring holy water, but there was no medicine to heal her heart. She cried and laughed, and while she was laughing, she suddenly put a knife in her chest. Hanging him by the neck or jumping from tall buildings were not uncommon. He was a dragon loved by the gods, so it was only natural that he would not die from such a wound, but his spirit was getting tattered day by day.
Even the people of the Vatican watching the scene were not safe. Shuhanan hated humans. He did no harm to Saint Yggdrasil and his guardian dog Hebnicius, but the rest of the humans were easily engulfed in his burning anger like dry firewood.
After arriving at the Pontifical Elysium, Shuhanan mercilessly killed even the priests who followed him. The reason was unknown. One day he piled up a pile of corpses and wept in front of them. Yggdrasil also wept and mourned, not knowing why he killed the priests and why he did such a crazy thing to mourn for their deaths.
Even if he is a mad dragon, he is eventually loved by God. Saint Yggdrasil could not stop Shuhanan's madness.
While Yggdrasil was telling the story, Estio remained silent.
"You are a pitiful and pitiful man. Hana, me and Heb, have decided to follow the last remaining gold clan on this earth. So whatever he desires, we will always pray for him to come true."
The sky-blue eyes that seemed to be looking into a distant place narrowed gently.
"Even if the end would be to wipe out all human beings from this world."
Hearing those words, Estio firmly felt once again that the saint in front of him was not a human being. Estio, who looked at Yggdrasil's empty eyes that felt a chill, asked with a puzzled heart.
"...how are you sure I can stop him?"
"Estio-sama is the only black clan he loved."
"Shuhanan loved Loaren, not me."
The Yellow Dragon Shuhanan did not love all the Black Dragons. Because it was Loareen, only because it was Loareen. No traces of Shuhanan interacting with other Black Dragons have been found yet. When Estio pointed out that point, Yggdrasil smiled as if he knew nothing.
"Would you like to hear a little more about Shuhanan-sama that I know?"
Estio hesitated for a moment, then nodded. Anyway, if the day is bright, I have to go see Shuhanan, so I thought it would be better to keep it.
With a sad smile, Yggdrasil slowly began to bring out the stories she had heard from Shuhanan one by one.
"The day Shuhanan-sama's companion, Loaren-sama, died."
It was the story of the Black Dragon, Loaren.
"Shuhanan-sama did not see the end of Loaren-sama."
"why......."
"It was said to be a trap."
From then on, Estio blankly listened to Yggdrasil's words.
"When all the dragons crossed the night sky and left for the dragon realm, Loaren-sama suddenly disappeared. I heard that the humans who realized that the Adjusters were about to give up the world were seeking that power and betrayed Loaren-sama."
At the time, people thought that if the dragon died, they would lose their coordinator and be in great chaos. Humans, gripped by the fear that the world might be destroyed, devised an absurd plan.
It was decided to hunt dragons.
