Chapter 296: Webtoon Special Edition – Extra 8 Corin and His Children (1)
CFnAfter the fall of the magic tower of the Steel Islands, the mages became slaves and were subjected to forced labor in the Dunaleff salt flats.QCXRtvQ
NtCThose mages who in the past, as authorities of the tower, had received bags of gold coins for a single lesson were now called by incomprehensible nicknames like Chunsik and Daesik; such was the misery of their downfall.TqaIe
ct1BhuBut even for the Chunsik there was hope being reassigned as technical advisors to the newly founded magic tower, the Dunaleff Tower.obGRV
VJUnM0Z“Oooh! Mr. Chunsik! We did it! We succeeded!”KIthpgu
x7vZCi7“With this, we’ll be able to get through this quarter…!”XZNn2W
fHeTThe Chunsik hugged one another, comforting each other.PMSyUOQ
x1gQVIn the past, they had been apprentices within the magic tower under a strict hierarchy, but now they were comrades sharing the same situation.ybge
h28FPerhaps, compared to the barren days of the tower, they were now far more full of humanity.KeqYJw
DIqRMoZ“With this, they won’t kick us out of the shared lodging!”ofT
apu“We won’t have to go back to the 1.5-pyeong coffin beds!”sIu
lWb8a“We’ll be able to keep eating something other than potatoes! Sniff, sniff!”700Cw6
OVDThat said, proportionally, their misery had increased about a hundredfold.VedaIC
xULfx“Grr!”TH5Bv
IaaOAAt that moment, upon hearing a familiar voice, all the Chunsik snapped to attention and saluted.nmhXR1
raBlQ“Loyalty to Young Duke Deokgu!” [1]oTtBZV
EvN5vd“Loyalty!”jh2hT
iVcL3sThe one who had visited the laboratory was none other than Deokgu.ejuMC2Y
trWcBHA magical creature born from the lineage of the Sun God Corin Loch and the mistress of the Dunaleff magic tower, Marie Dunaleff.Afi91
qzeox00Regarded de facto as Corin Loch’s firstborn, Deokgu, as always, appeared covered in luxury items from head to toe.PJm
vk9“T-to… everyone, install the translators!”ljfHi
6mDXZDeokgu’s base form is that of a dog.ZAw
SHpJAAs the familiar of a vampire, only Corin and Marie, with whom he shares blood directly, could understand his language.YqR6V5
QUEFPPrHowever, the Chunsik of the Dunaleff Tower had developed a translator capable of communicating with this magical creature, and as a reward they received a monthly supply of cheese potatoes.i672
moaE3Ta“Grr! Grrr!”rZ1K
9tAq— Is the work going well, soldiers?dCq78
ZhuawO3“Yes! Of course!”mUK
1qw“We were just about to report the results!”GRW
VMlUFb“Grr! Grrr!”Dn1Q
Q9zM— Well done. How far have you progressed?LcdYo
sCJ5xWhat they were developing was an image receiver that the Deokgu Business Division of the Dunaleff Tower would launch. In other words, a television.hjK3
lVlrThe introduction of Earth-origin electronic devices, under Corin’s control, began with very basic black-and-white televisions, with the goal of gradually accumulating their own technology.D8OqF
HfnHowever, when combined with magic, the speed of development was overwhelming.4QGhWd
EJAuThis image receiver of the Deokgu Division was none other than a portable, full-color, real-time wireless reception device.3gA6p
zzzThat is, a mobile phone.KPN
2fO7f“Yes! We believe that once we complete data accumulation and expand the infrastructure for the transmission network, we will be able to move into a revolutionary phase of practical application.”NrUidh
p3Psw“Grr! Grrr!”It56rt
jJzMn— Then, this quarter, an unprecedented business expansion will be possible. There will be no problems paying maintenance.ww3ONl
uBqLn7y“Exactly! Our Deokgu Division! For the glory of our great leader, peerless hero, Sun of the people! For the glory of the first descendant of Corin Loch, Lord Deokgu, we will devote ourselves body and soul!”CriI
kbfYH“—Grrr, hahaha!”iHB
5s5oz8Just as Deokgu was feeling confident of victory, an unexpected guest appeared in the Deokgu Division of the Dunaleff Tower.IEiJ
ujwRCi“Listening to weird flattery again.”7pd7
ksGRBi— What?xUqGQ9
Jsg4JmRecognizing the intruder’s voice, Deokgu turned around.Imr
Sap54HSkin white as snow, red eyes. Dark brown hair, following her mother, tied back in a ponytail.bZqb
gWGpF3GBut unlike her mother, rather than coldness or severity, her gaze was expressionless, bordering on indifference.ZoJI
17kQKIShe was a girl who looked to be in elementary school, but the intelligence she possessed surpassed that of many adults.riKmfwE
610ZR— Did you come to see Mom?oRCJXNN
n3e“Our mom isn’t your mom.”KdcJCa
2vinp— What do you mean, you brat?! Such disrespect to your older brother!N2i
lu3Y“If you want me to call you brother, stop bothering the bitches around the tower. You’re disgusting.”4WMQ
PKLv4bX— Park Hayeon!N2kz
xITSThat’s right. Her name was Park Hayeon.0CxkBjt
oP0ucoThe daughter born between Corin and Park Sirin, who currently went back and forth between the Dunaleff residence and the royal palace of El Ras.giBfF6
6DT8Even so, she seemed to get along terribly with Deokgu, as every time they met they argued endlessly.rXpBby
uBndko“Grr! Grrr!”ScT5J
YIa“Shut up. Stop bothering the neighborhood dogs. Even Sister Ren avoids you when she sees you.”OYunOnq
o2cW“Grrr?!”3w2rCP
ApZma— It’s a misunderstanding! Sister Ren is a woman who could become my mother!Udt9u
fOMJ1“Disgusting!”Oov
dG8Zb6gLeaving all that aside.erIaN
946fAXr‘How is it that she can understand him without a translator?’Vs8qtM
cIX2PoxStrangely enough, Corin’s children were able to communicate with Deokgu without any problem.iUj
hb3avoz***PltBJB
EhcOne of Corin Loch’s wives, Park Sirin, was often away.fIANHt
ycN0jAlthough no new demonic existences were being born after the War of the Sun, much of the demonic still remained scattered throughout the world.S1oNCYq
tdPSirin traveled constantly and often spent the night away, so naturally the care of Hayeon fell to the wives who stayed in one place.JO2ntDS
URsVY7I“Did you fight with your brother again?”TWW0Z
IKVm“…..It wasn’t a fight.”6hr04H
F4kMarie Dunaleff scolded the sulking Park Hayeon.wQ8
sHuliq“He… he was the one who started it, mocking me and calling me a brat! And he’s only ten years old too!”1oWV6Xo
EPbpOf course, for Deokgu, who had been two meters tall since birth, that was already late.5EW
CCe5i“If I had grown up like Mom, he wouldn’t dare look down on me like that…..”AfPnz
Lfl8g5“Hehe, that was a decision your dad and your moms made together, so trust us and follow it.”dg6N
yqqyBMarie, watching Hayeon complain like any other child her age, thought once again that their decision had been the right one.gf4d
RZa‘The first time I saw her, she looked about five years old.’49y
JkanFFkAnd that was after only half a year since her birth.36yYCqt
BIRceeGIt was accelerated growth made possible by Dannan blood, but now she finally looked appropriate for her age.aaYbA
dlCwNrU「Children should grow as children. Until they become adults, we will remove their divinity and raise them that way.」0yU
230When Corin obtained the divinity of the Sun God, he became a Dannan with divinity.UXzC4W8
Q5iJThe problem was his children.b79OH
O1YcJust looking at Park Hayeon, who had grown to look like a five-year-old in only half a year, made it obvious.DMr
f6lHayeon, who had been brought from Earth together with Sirin, grew like other children thanks to her divinity being temporarily removed.X3B6
RvIBecause of that, Park Hayeon, now seven years old, looked just about her age.3CF1OY
E9eLr“You’ll be entering the academy soon, so you need to learn how to get along with others.”fT8
St7yjs“That… brother counts as a person too?”30u
rfjSzP“Hey! I’m not speaking in biological terms!”mFhAmf
uiInpMarie scolded her sharply.DnzTbf
XPg3Hayeon tilted her head with a confused expression.mun
cdO1KpS“But… do I really have to go to the academy?”kWneZd
yfg“Why? Don’t you want to interact with children your age? You did fine in the kindergarten.”t4pJsjs
2DLoLm“They’re too childish.”pxqm
Xf3“Ah…”Xh16PNu
TPOQnAIt wasn’t an incorrect observation.YofXF
FruVUbWith her father’s blood and the extraordinary intelligence inherited from her mother, Hayeon already possessed a mind comparable to, or even superior to, that of an adult.alUlGjP
nY1J0XHow could children her age not seem childish to her?cbXB
S35Gy‘Though seeing how she fights with Deokgu, she’s not exactly mature either.’06dNV4
8i1LynDid she inherit some of her mother’s combative temperament?QlPE1s
8Z3Marie recalled with a bitter smile how cold Park Sirin could be toward others, despite how gentle she was with her husband.mQ28
GdwFor someone known as the Great Mage of Justice, Sirin had quite a nasty personality.XIgZY
q9Dbgwt“Come on, make up with your brother and get along with him. And with the baby that’s going to be born.”7O4ngN
bSUHayeon’s gaze settled on Marie’s belly.gjRSAuH
4gOaRdThe bulge beneath the maternity clothes announced that the birth was near.5XLkOt
DxG“Yes… Mom Marie.”jy7UL4
pduzQ“Do you want to eat potatoes? I have sugar and salt!”qr9UJtf
JBf4P“I’m sick of potatoes…..”uMimyJ
1GpqVT“Huh?!”9pnyoV
HkwSVIPMarie suddenly felt uneasy, wondering if her potato-based early education had failed.nwGTj
5M2czxF***cwhrrej
QUlbpPark Hayeon, seven years old this year, was also in a bad mood today after being scolded.USI0
9nfHayeon considered herself an adult.K4R0
pxhzIn fact, her intelligence surpassed that of many adults, and her innate magical talent and Dannan body far exceeded those of ordinary humans.Yz5l14W
ab3ZQDInteracting with kindergarten children had already been torture, and now they were telling her she had to go to the academy.ODzd
QpMI‘Couldn’t I just travel with Mom?’vhur
O82kSince coming to this world, the time they spent together had decreased, and the emptiness left by her mother was greater than she had expected.SXepI
zYwsTY4Even though the other moms treated her well, it wasn’t the same as her biological mother.89iH5dZ
VNIke‘I want to see Mom.’d7GySN
Ck3U5uBMom was always traveling the world.QHbwCF2
2y8zwAs if something were chasing her, she rarely returned home.rzIMkYY
8xxqsIt hadn’t been like that on Earth.K1ij2Ei
ctM4aBHMom had always been by her side.qbl
l3au86When she caught a cold, she held her all day, as if she might break.0u9v84
jFuvWr‘It was after Dad appeared. Dad changed Mom.’1dqfS
KV3Everything began that day, when Dad appeared on the island where she was with Mom.7ElazV
8Gc9That day, Dad hit Mom and hurt her.ieZn
8qnrnunAnd then, on his own, he kidnapped both of them and brought them to this world.VOpt
k3JIZA‘I hate everything. Dad, and the other moms too.’BBrMI
95DdLIf someone asked her whether she truly hated them, she probably wouldn’t be able to answer easily.z5ewL1k
zTNdBut as a Dannan, perhaps she was simply going through that turbulent stage earlier than others.eu8x1F0
KaAC“Hey, move.”CJe
dKdtA provocative voice addressed her while she was in a foul mood.aRocF8
yNJUTs6Turning around, she saw a beautiful pink-haired girl frowning at her.E8qLm
Zmb“Don’t you know how to speak nicely?”WgvF2W
BkIFob“Yeah, you first. Did you fight with Brother Deokgu again? You’re not a fighting rooster, but you’re always picking fights.”DxTPniW
2LI2YIt was Abigail, the second daughter of Estelle, now the Pope of the Church of the Sun that ruled the world.auIEqL
Ltd32If Deokgu was the older brother she constantly argued with, Abigail was a sister she flat-out didn’t get along with.4YmUojV
rDGaHayeon knew it.ZD1feU
y76ZcdFThat pink-haired girl, adorable and beautiful like her mother, was actually a cruel demon.Omew
UkdVU“Because of you, everyone thinks Dad’s children have shitty personalities. That’s why the Vatican only uses me for propaganda.”KREgo7
x6x0The Vatican was the institution of the Church of the Sun established in the Holy Kingdom of El Ras.AsRg3d
cbB2hbZ“That’s because your mom is the leader of the Vatican.”BWYPHns
lsjLr“And what about your mom, the Great Mage of Justice? Doesn’t she do anything?”41f57
FBL“…..”Mg7av90
mRzHXHlShe said that because she knew her mother almost never came back.CPJ9cSX
aW9LThough two years younger, her way of speaking was extremely cunning.hTXXZdC
GFPBut in the end, both of them were still children.7bTlP
2LoZ1KEven Deokgu often acted emotionally, so how could they be any different?8LE
vXh5aThe two acted on impulse.5v9
pRCy3N“Tell your mom to stop pocketing the offering money and putting up weird statues!”8zwi6o
PaBoZ“What?! That’s for our own good! What’s wrong with putting up statues of Dad?! It’s way more constructive than your mom, who spends all day beating people up!”2yX
Cj5FmU“She beats them because they deserve it!”2VJwF
O4qOLFeAs the two divine descendants grew increasingly heated, the staff quietly approached a man.bTu5t
iM7“Chief Rark. What should we do?”SUCD6w
tx80Rark, a former academy companion of the Sun God Corin Loch.NSSS
eDLNow he was the head of research and development of the Dunaleff Tower, wielding more power than many directors and team leaders.8lrRpl
1PFAll thanks to Corin.xHfR
FbyaIn other words, he was practically their “uncle.”Hv6OD
SOIMs“Uf… what can we do? Deploy the shield and activate the security systems.”OlC
8TAWx6“Aren’t… you going to separate them?”7BpTN
ie56tlP“Me? How?”CJgr
1egR17R“You are… their uncle.”tYL
ER8“If it were an ordinary children’s fight, I’d stop it. Do you think this can be stopped?”tM6
OEgZZIn an instant, the tower’s shield and defensive systems began to tremble.kLw
EWG9r9AHayeon and Abigail had moved into physical confrontation.n8My7R
WlJwdAnd they were using magic and divine power!PK2D0L

nn7hAnd both sharing the power of the Sun God Corin Loch, the strongest being in the world.532
x0szqO3Their “girls’ fight” was no longer something adults could stop.rWvBYpK
eJa“You’re dead!”CT6oW3y
em8dS“Huh? You used magic? Then I’ll use divine power!”nPO0C

K9a0ac“Watch your mouth, crazy! No wonder you’re the daughter of a commoner!”ryBYud
ZygJ“I’m the Great President of the Korean Empire!”kjbdNe
aCVWatching the fight between a seven-year-old and a five-year-old, Rark wore a blank expression.ZF21
oBL7J“With just ten of these, we could conquer the world.”5A6qsJ
LVlzAh, right—they already had.kWYSJxJ
tMPThough it was an emotional fight, neither of them intended to back down.JOPFM1
Qj9xkCWThey knew that showing weakness would mean being ridiculed for life.3xS
AVobwWith childish minds taken to the extreme, they fought as if it were to the death—8OENYNc
bq4Ydf“Ah! Let go! Pulling my hair? That’s low! You really can’t deny your vulgar blood!”RZBgPs
SRvv7BM“Hey! Your dad was a commoner too! And I’m the older sister!”bIgf
pDc“An older sister should act like one! I carry the blood of the Princess of El Ras—Aaah!!”RTo
FXwZe“Say you surrender, brat!”Q3Ts
TuAa“No way!”xGdYpzr
mAn9xQ“Then today you die!”PyQ
7TD4lAs the fight descended into the most literal level of a childish brawl, Rark could only sigh.hGSZ
4nX1uN“Damn womanizing bastard. You should have chosen just one woman.”01ub
vHaThere were still many children who had yet to fully grow up.Pr3cz
