The weapon shop owner, who had taken his eyes off the crystal ball, exclaimed with an excited expression.

“Glacies! The Heavenly Demon was the Glacies ancient dragon!”

Minhyuk approached him and asked.

“Is that a special species?”

“It’s not common, but it’s not a very rare species either. It’s an ice dragon that breathes cold air instead of flames.”

The Heavenly Demon was a type of ice dragon that inhabited frigid regions.

Thud, thud-

The shop owner walked over to the shelves where the weapons were displayed.

And he began to select long-range magic weapons with attributes that were the opposite of the ice dragon.

As he did so, he muttered.

“But it’s really strange. I thought the Heavenly Demon was a special species… but it wasn’t.”

Dragons only laid eggs for one Heavenly Demon at a time.

That’s why humans thought that she would be different from other dragons from birth.

But it was just an ordinary Glacies ancient dragon.

Suddenly, an insect that reproduced in a similar way to dragons came to Minhyuk’s mind.

“Could it be something similar to a queen bee?”

Of all the bees in the hive, only the queen bee lays eggs, but she is not special from birth.

The larvae that become queen bees and those that become worker bees share the same genetic makeup.

However, only the larvae that are fed a lot of royal jelly grow up to be queen bees.

So, could it be that the Sky Mother became the Queen Dragon (Female Dragon) in a similar way?

However, the shop owner shook his head when he heard Minhyuk’s words.

“Queen bee? What is that? Some kind of mutant insect monster?”

“You don’t know about queen bees? They are the queens of bees. The only ones that can lay eggs.”

“This is the first time I’ve heard that bees have queens. And can’t all female bees lay eggs?”

“Female bees lay eggs?”

“Yes. It is the law of nature that all living beings reproduce in pairs of male and female.”

It was unclear whether the shop owner was completely ignorant about biology,

or if, as he said, the bees on the continent of Rania reproduced in pairs of males and females.

“All living beings reproduce in pairs of male and female?”

“That’s why the Sky Mother is strange. All other living beings are like that, but why is it that only the female dragons lay eggs by themselves? It’s so unnatural. Maybe she killed all the other females to make herself the only one of her kind. And then she must have cast a special spell on the eggs she laid. To make sure that only males would be born.”

If the shop owner’s guess was true,

if the Sky Mother really did kill all the other female dragons and prevented new females from being born,

then she was less the mother of all dragons and more like a cancer to her race.

Because she was going against the laws of nature to increase her own value.

But this was just speculation and had not been confirmed.

“Anyway, it’s certain that the old hag has lived an incredibly long time. She’s on a different level from other ancient dragons.”

Ordinary ancient dragons go through one or two metamorphoses in their tens of thousands of years of life.

But the Sky Mother has already gone through more than 30 metamorphoses.

“Even if she only metamorphosed once every 10,000 years, she would be at least 300,000 years old. Could she really be from a previous era?”

The archaeologists in Matop Square claim that the beginning of the current civilization was 300,000 years ago.

There was no way to know what had existed on this land before then.

Because everything had been consumed by a giant fire of unknown origin.

The archaeologists called that event the ‘Great Extinction.’

It was on a completely different scale from when the ancient city of Silphir was destroyed by a magical explosion 20,000 years ago.

The Great Extinction was an event in which the entire continent of Rania was burned to the ground.

But, contradictorily, there are times when beings born more than 300,000 years ago appear.

The archaeologists call such beings ‘previous era.’

No one knows how they survived the Great Extinction.

“Anyway, now that we know that the Sky Mother is a Glacier Dragon, it won’t be difficult to hunt her. Please come this way.”

The shop owner led Minhyuk to the back of the shop.

When they went through the side door, a vast desert stretched out before them.

It was the same virtual space where he had tested the Bow of Light last time.

“Since the target is an ice dragon, I’ll change the environment settings to match.”

Swish-

At the shop owner’s gesture, the hot and dry desert transformed into a cold and icy region in an instant.

Whoosh-

Snowflakes were whirling violently.

“You must be cold. Please wear this.”

BAM-

A thick coat appeared before Minhyuk’s eyes.

It wasn’t an actual coat, but a virtual item.

Minhyuk reached out to the coat.

Swish-

The coat transformed into a fine mist of light and enveloped Minhyuk’s body.

And the coat was put on.

Just like when he wore the virtual armor last time, the weight and texture of the coat felt like real clothes.

And the cold was gone.

“This time, I’ll set up a target.”

BAM-

As the store owner gestured, a huge dragon appeared on a snowy hill in the distance.

A white ancient dragon.

It was more than 10 times larger than Srinijam.

That means it was 30 times larger than normal dragons.

Minhyuk was astonished by the overwhelming size of the white ancient dragon and asked the store owner.

“Is the Mother of the Sky that big?”

“Since she has transformed more than 30 times, her body size should be at least that big.”

The virtual space was similar to Earth’s simulation.

If you specify the setting value, it will calculate the result.

It recreated her original appearance as close to reality as possible based on the information about the Mother of the Sky in the arrow that Minhyuk brought.

“But you don’t have to be afraid just because she’s big. If you just hold this weapon!”

The store owner showed Minhyuk a bow.

It looked like an ordinary wooden bow.

“It’s a black flame bow with an opposing attribute to the Ice Dragon!”

The store owner pulled the bowstring towards the ancient dragon.

Then, a flaming arrow shimmering with black light appeared and was placed on the string.

Thud-

The arrow was fired.

BAM-

The arrow flew at an incredible speed and hit the ancient dragon’s torso.

Kweee-

The white ancient dragon let out a painful roar.

Thud-Thud-Thud-

The store owner quickly fired three shots in a row.

And they all hit the ancient dragon’s torso.

Stagger-

The white ancient dragon staggered greatly.

But it didn’t collapse.

“As expected, since it’s big, its defense is amazing!”

Thud-thud-

Thud-thud-thud-

The store owner quickly fired 5 shots in a row.

All the arrows hit their mark.

Thud-

Only then did the ancient dragon collapse.

And it didn’t move an inch.

“There might be a margin of error of one or two shots, but if you hit it about 10 times, you’ll be able to kill the Sovereign of the Sky.”

Oh!

Minhyuk was impressed.

He had faith in the store owner’s words.

Since he had killed the Srinizarn with just four arrows, just as he had said.

“Let me shoot it once.”

The store owner handed the bow to Minhyuk.

The grip felt quite good.

Information about the bow appeared before Minhyuk’s eyes.

From Noble mtl dot com

<Reinforced Black Flame Bow>

– An ultra-powerful magic weapon made by the weapon craftsman Shimaur.

– Consumes mana to shoot powerful arrows of black flame.

At the store owner’s gesture, a giant ancient dragon appeared again.

Minhyuk fired the bow repeatedly at the ancient dragon.

Thud-thud-thud-

Its firing speed was as fast as the Light Bow.

Thud-thud-thud-

Thud-thud-thud-thud-

After hitting it with 10 arrows, the ancient dragon collapsed and died.

Suddenly, he recalled the last words spoken by the Sovereign of the Sky.

That the next time they met, he would take Minhyuk’s life.

In fact, those were words that Minhyuk should have said.

‘Since it’s big, its magic bead will be big too, right?’

He was looking forward to not only the magic bead but also how much return time he would be able to accumulate if he killed the Sovereign of the Sky.

“Do you like it?”

At the store owner’s question, Minhyuk nodded.

“How much is it?”

“It’s 30 million dallants. But I’ll give it to you for free. Just take it.”

“Why?”

“Thanks to you, I learned about the Sovereign of the Sky. It’s the price of the information.”

There was no reason to hesitate when he was giving it to him for free.

Minhyuk left the weapon shop with his bow.

And moved to the top floor of the rooftop.

<Helena’s Defense Shop / Custom-made Specialist>

Now that he had acquired weapons, it was time to get defensive gear.

Minhyuk stepped inside the defense shop.

A plump, middle-aged woman greeted Minhyuk.

“Welcome!”

Unlike last time, she didn’t make fun of Minhyuk’s attire.

Because he had bought and was wearing the plain clothes worn by the people of Matop Square.

“Is this your first time in our shop? What kind of defense gear are you looking for?”

“I’m looking to wear it when I hunt the Glacial Wyvern.”

“You’ve come to the right place! If you wear the latest cold-proof armor we made recently, the Glacial Wyvern’s cold breath will feel like a cool breeze. Please come this way.”

She led Minhyuk into the shop.

Minhyuk followed her and asked,

“Do you know about the queen bee?”

“The queen bee? What’s that?”

“A female that lays eggs by herself.”

“Well, it’s the first time I’ve heard of it.”

The owner of the defense shop also didn’t know about the queen bee.

“Come this way. Be careful of your head, as the doorframe is low.”

Minhyuk passed through the side door and entered the empty space.

And just like last time, he tested the armor there.

As the shop owner had said, the cold breath exhaled by the white dragon felt like a cool breeze.

“Do you like it?”

“How much is it?”

“It’s 10 million Dalant. If you give me the money, I’ll start making it right away.”

“I’ll give you 20 million Dalant, so please make it as soon as possible.”

It was like giving in the west what you received in the east.

Since he got the weapon for free, he should know how to do this much good.

Her expression brightened.

“I’ll make it by tomorrow morning. Please come and get it before lunch.”

Minhyuk handed over the money and left the defense shop.

‘What should I do until tomorrow noon?’

Minhyuk moved to the square.

And walked slowly along the alleyway on the outskirts.

Bustle-

Even in the narrow street, it was busy with merchants and customers.

‘Is this the right place?’

The sign he was looking for was hanging on the corner where the alleys intersected.

<Donnie’s Grocery Store>

Doni, the name of the merchant who brought coffee to this world.

Anyway, I have nothing special to do until noon tomorrow, so I’ll find out about him.

Is he really a visitor from Earth, like myself?

But this place was 20,000 years before the time Minhyuk arrived in this world.

Assuming that time flows at a similar pace in both worlds, does that mean he was an Earthling 20,000 years ago?

Then, a Stone Age human?

But that didn’t make sense.

Coffee began to be called ‘coffee’ from the 17th century onwards.

Before that, it was called by a different name.

So if he was a visitor from Earth, he would be someone from after the 17th century.

But from which country?

Western? Eastern?

‘I’ll find out when I meet him.’

Minhyuk stepped inside the grocery store.

“Welcome!”

A short, plump man greeted Minhyuk.

“What can I help you with?”

“Are you the owner here?”

“Yes, I am.”

He was Doni.

Minhyuk examined his face closely.

His hair was blonde, and his face was rosy.

But just by his appearance, it was impossible to tell if he was from Earth, or if he was Eastern or Western.

After all, Minhyuk himself was a redhead giant in this world.

“I heard you brought coffee from Ethiopia.”

He then put on a serious expression.

“So that’s why you came to see me. Please come this way.”

The shopkeeper led Minhyuk somewhere.
