Chapter 44: The Legacy of the Dragon: Unleashing Chun Hyeeun’s True Power

I stood atop the airborne Bone Dragon, gazing down at the battlefield below.

‘Cheon Hyeeun’ was the epitome of a late-game character.

Her skills only reached their full potential once her growth was complete, making her even more late-game-focused than “Metatron,” the centerpiece of the (PaePae) meta.

Before her growth, Cheon Hyeeun’s first skill simply summoned a lackluster skeleton soldier—no special abilities, mediocre stats.

And her ultimate? “Fortify Base.”

Sure, enhancing the base provided some items, but with a utility ultimate like that, combat was nearly impossible to sustain.

However, all those humiliations belonged to Cheon Hyeeun’s early game.

In the late game, once her base was fully fortified, everything changed.

No, she evolved.

First, her passive skill, [Heir of Dragons], transformed into [Successor].

This caused a massive stat boost and altered her appearance to what fans dubbed “Noona Mode”—an adult form with a mature physique.

Then there was her basic skill, [Bone Soldier Summon], which turned into [Bone Dragon].

This wasn’t just change—it was a seismic shift.

The enemy’s main carry, who had been attacking the Tier 2 objective, shifted their attention to us.

They hesitated to fully secure the objective and decided to eliminate us first.

A skill flew toward me, but I raised my right hand.

Cheon Hyeeun’s second skill, [Transcendent’s Authority], activated. It completely nullified damage below a certain threshold.

I immediately followed it up with her third skill, [Dragon’s Wrath].

A crimson-black energy swirled around the Bone Dragon as it charged forward at full force.

BOOM! The enemy carry, crushed under the dragon’s massive body, disintegrated into nothingness.

Panic set in. The carry frantically cast another skill, but I directed the Bone Dragon to stomp them mercilessly.

Other attackers who tried to interfere were swept away with a single lash of the dragon’s tail.

Thud. The enemy carry fell lifeless to the ground.

The unexpected turn of events caused the enemies to hesitate briefly before regrouping and re-strategizing.

Their new target was clear: finish off the weakened Tier 2 objective.

And that’s exactly what I had been waiting for.

Cheon Hyeeun’s ultimate, [Legacy of the Dragon], was notorious for being situational and offering limited utility in combat.

But at a pivotal moment, it underwent a transformation of its own.

Once the base reached maximum fortification and Cheon Hyeeun reached level 11, unlocking the second phase of her ultimate, she was ready to embrace the full power of the dragon.

Energy began to coalesce in the Bone Dragon’s maw.

The targets were the Tier 2 objective and every single enemy character in range.

Activating the ultimate, I whispered:

“Are you back to your senses now?”

As if snapping out of a trance, the viewers began flooding the chat again.

“What just… happened?”

“I swear I was watching 23-year-old Han Yurim’s stream, but—”

“Noooong” (Temporary ban: 10 seconds)

“Huh? My hands moved on their own!”

I chuckled.

Was it because I had used too much dragon power? Or perhaps it was the lingering resentment of players who had witnessed my in-game bad endings.

I made a mental note to be cautious in the future.

“Now that the urgent matters are over, I’ll return to the stream,” I announced, queuing up for the next game.

Just then, another donation came through.

“Can we get a ‘Noona’ version?”

I tilted my head in confusion.

“What are you talking about? Technically, this is the ‘Noona’ version.”

After all, the ‘Han Yurim’ avatar was based on my childhood, while the current avatar represented me as an adult.

By that logic, this was already the ‘Noona’ version.

“Sigh, bring Lumen over.”

“Lumen is busy with the season right now,” I said casually.

Speaking of which, I still hadn’t decided when to use Lumen’s wish ticket.

Maybe I’d ask for something fun, like a gothic lolita cosplay.

“If the only difference between your three avatars is height, can this really be called the ‘Noona’ version? There’s barely any height difference between the middle school and adult versions anyway.”

“A difference in height is proof of growth,” I replied matter-of-factly.

To me, this was obvious. But apparently, not to my viewers.

“Yeah, but there’s no chest difference, you—” (Temporary ban: 10 seconds)

This time, it wasn’t the dragon’s power running wild but rather my familiar.

Suspicious, I asked tentatively, “Bunnyrun?”

The reply came swiftly.

Bunnyrun: “Why, Noona? Don’t even think about banning me!”

“Oh no, I was just checking. Since I have multiple moderators now, I wanted to confirm who it was.”

It was a natural trade-off. The broadcasters who gave me mod privileges on their streams automatically became moderators on mine.

Though, in truth, that only included Pape, Moss, and Bunnyrun.

Bunnyrun: “Wait, what? There are other mods besides me?”

“Yes, even including you, it’s just three people total,” I reassured her.

Ah, the sweetness of power.

Bunnyrun seemed a bit defensive at first, but once I clarified that her authority was limited, she calmed down.

Thank goodness. That could’ve easily escalated into a full-blown rebellion.
