113 - 118

People accepted Yu IlHan's explanations and relaxed. No, rather than accepting it, they judged that it was much safer to use those guys like how they were trying to use us rather than fighting back recklessly.

"It's a very big matter. It will be insufficient even if we gather all the ability users in the world. Do you understand my words?"

Yu IlHan expressed his opinion to the Front Line Alliance, and the other clans who tried to create ties with them through this incident.

Everyone, who realized that this matter was very big the moment Susanoo asked for their opinions instead of handling everything by himself, nodded their heads.

"We do not have a lot of time, so please give your opinions on how to efficiently prepare against our 'enemies'."

"I thought you weren't human, but now that you're asking us on the same level as us, this feels quite strange."

Clan master Carina Malatesta of Magia didn't seem to have a lot of hostility towards Susanoo unlike Michael Smithson of Metal Knights, as she shrugged and said that.

Continuing,

"The most important thing is to restrict the area of the battlefield. Although I'm very sorry for the clan master of the Lightning God Clan, there is a need to isolate a wide area in order to not let the damage spread outside even if the enemies escape our formation. If the enemies retreat into a mountain or something, then that would be the worst."

When Yu IlHan looked at Kang MiRae after hearing those words, she firmly nodded while picking up her phone.

"I'll use all the support I can get. That should be possible. However, I do wish for some help from other countries. Physical isolation does not mean anything. We need ability users, enough of them to surround the entire Seoul.

"There should be no idiots who won't send their ability users in this matter, miss Kang. Of course, I can guarantee that we of England will come to a just decision."

It was Michael Smithson. Even though he looked like a fool when he was naggy about holding monsters in place in order to kill them despite not having any offensive abilities, he seemed to have reason at least.

It was funny how he was still glaring at Yu IlHan, but Yu IlHan inwardly raised his evaluation on him.

"Ned should be setting up battlefield environments. Even though we did gather a sufficiently wide area, it's still not enough, so we need to hurry. Moreover, there are too many obstacles."

"Is the evacuation of the citizens completely done? Oh, if possible, I want to know one of those wolf monster's weaknesses at least."

"I thought it wouldn't work, but attacking using weights worked with 3rd class beings as well, at least until level 130. Since we're removing them, I don't think it will be so bad to install some bombs in those high-rise buildings and use them."

Most of the people here were representatives of a faction, so they were perfect in coming up with countermeasures.

Under the condition that they had to fight together with a group of monsters even while fighting against all monsters, they started coming up with methods to reduce human casualties to the minimum possible, and bring back victory.

The people didn't just end with words. From the moment many suggestions acquired agreement from many, they were being carried out one by one. This matter was already told to all the higher ups in the world. Even the ability user factions who were just watching the situation now, and even the military started moving.

"But then."

Asked Kang HaJin to Yu IlHan.

"What are you going to do? Although it's very embarrassing for us, we may need to come up with new tactics according to how you move."

"The forces of our enemies are 130 thousand, 30 thousand being 3rd class, and 6 being 4th class, from what I've heard."

Yu IlHan's reply made Kang HaJin speechless. Yu IlHan laughed lightly. If he told him how many 4th class dragons there were in Dareu, he might fall into shock and die.

"For your reference, excluding the wolfkin we've slayed, the scale of our allies are 50 thousand, 13 thousand being 3rd class, and 2 being 4th class including the Royal Guard here."

"Oh my god."

All the people who were moving around busily in order to consolidate their tactics collapsed on the spot after listening to the differences in their fighting power.

Well, human forces numbered much larger, but the people here knew very well the difference in destructive power between each classes.

Especially 4th classes, the one that was about to bring about a disaster to the Kantou region! And the biggest reason why the humans didn't attack the wolf monsters when they stopped in unison!

"I'm going over to the other side.

As such, Susanoo's declaration sounded like their lives were saved.

"In order to prevent the 4th classes from coming over to this side, I'm planning to clean them up myself over there."

"..."

Thanks to the cool and firm declaration, Kang HaJin exclaimed.

Kang MiRae couldn't hear that as she was calling orders while moving, but Na YuNa, who was right next to him, heard it and burst out laughing.

"Is that so…"

Takagaki Asuha, the clan master of the Magic Dragon clan, nodded calmly instead of Kang HaJin before asking.

"But when you say 4th class, do you mean including that one?"

"Of course."

The one she pointed to was the captain of the Royal Guards, Flemir. Yu IlHan was satisfied that she pointed out an important point immediately and nodded with a smile.

"They will never be able to come over here to Earth."

The moment he said that, Flemir shouted.

"We're at our limit. They will start coming over as well!"

"Then everyone, please start."

Shortly declared Yu IlHan before moving immediately. First, he gave Yumir in his arms over to Liera and asked her.

"It will be fine for you if it's just flying around with him in his arms, right?"

[Of course, I'm a 6th class. Although direct interference is impossible, there's no problem with protecting myself.] (Liera)

"Yes, then Yumir."

Yu IlHan nodded at Liera, who declared confidently, before turning his gaze to Yumir. He was preparing to shoot magic at any time while overlapping the mana he had piled up during multiple level ups last time.

"Don't hold back on your mana, and kill them all. If you wait here patiently while levelling up, then dad will come back soon."

"Yeah! I will kill them all!"

Such was the conversation between a newborn who was born less than 24 hours ago, and a father.

Continuing on, he looked at the elves as well. They looked like they would follow Yu IlHan, but he lightly shook his head when they accepted it even while looking slightly disappointed.

It was insufficient with just the humans here. They, with their legend ranked equipments, had to hold out here in order to block 3rd classes.

"Then Erta, let's go."

[I was waiting for those words.] (Erta)

With Erta on his head, Yu IlHan headed to Flemir. Making his direct subordinates retreat a few steps, he was glaring at the gate at the closest position possible.

Was he worried about his own kin who should be fighting beyond the gate? Or was he worried about the enemies coming over to this side?

Whatever the case, Yu IlHan couldn't care less. He would know soon anyway.

"You're coming with me."

"What do you, I'm remaini-"

"You need to come with me and kill enemy captains!"

Before he even finished speaking, Yu IlHan deployed Superhuman Strength and kicked him over the gate."

"Uaaaaaaah!"

After confirming that Flemir had fell into the gate, Yu IlHan flicked his fingers, when, the spears of lightning he had collected last time, fell into the surroundings of the gate. This was an overwhelming scene.

"This should be enough."

Not to mention enough, it was near perfect. Yu IlHan exclaimed in impression at his own work, before sending a simple message on how to use the fence of giant spears to Kang MiRae. Then, he threw his body into the gate.

After the long gate, was a country of snow.

[C, cold!] (Erta)

It was snowing everywhere, and the place that once should've been a plain had formed a beautiful white. Of course, it was being tainted real time with blood, flesh and bones.

"I'm not cold at all."

[This, is, Abandon, World!] (Erta)

So what, she wanted to say she can't use her angel powers because this is an Abandoned World?

Yu IlHan decided to let Erta be when he saw that she was making herself shrink even smaller in order to get in the gap between his hair and his helmet. It would probably be safer there as well.

"Good, I definitely did become stronger."

Coming out from the gate, he could feel power in his body. Not only was there a higher concentration of mana here as this was a world which had gone through its 2nd Great Cataclysm, he had also raised the level of Angel's Support skill so all of his abilities were being strengthened by around 30%.

His stats, which were already higher than other people, were being enhanced yet again, so from his stats alone, he would be nearly level 200

"Shit, that guy sent me here aga...!"

Meanwhile, Flemir, who had fallen nearby, muttered while gritting his teeth without even knowing that Yu IlHan had followed him. Around the gate, countless 2nd class wolves were throwing their bodies inside the gate, but unlike the wolfkin who had black fur, they all had red fur. Yu Ilhan confirmed that they were the small fries moving under Destruction Demon Army.

Flemir also saw that and rampaged with his eyes flipped.

"Kroaaaaar! You dare ignore me!"

When he roared despite being in human form, and waved his hand, a black claw of mana popped out of thin air and slashed apart the wolves around.

However, regardless of how many tens or hundreds of wolves were dying or not, the red wolves were only charging to the gate.

"So you're back, Flemir! How nice to see you!"

"You bastard, Ikedka!"

Along with the stereotypical villain line, someone charged towards Flemir! While Flemir was fighting against that guy, Yu IlHan raised his head and looked at his surroundings.

"It's a complete battlefield."

[Those wolves, I think they're chasing the black wolves.] (Erta)

The number of black wolves that charged through the gate numbered a little less than 30 thousand. There were more than 20 thousand black wolves left, but the red wolves were trying to prevent them from going through the gate while charging into it themselves.

And he could see another humanoid wolfkin blocking them from another side. Hm, it seemed that there were indeed two 4th class wolfkin. Flemir hadn't lied about that point.

[But Yu IlHan, there's something I don't understand.] (Erta)

Coincidentally, Erta pointed it out.

[Those red wolves, of course, they are under Destruction Demon Army so they should be aiming for Earth, but aren't they getting their priorities messed up? Isn't it normal to aim for Earth after exterminating all the wolfkin?] (Erta)

"Of course that's the normal way."

[Then why are they ignoring the wolfkin here and are trying to go over to Earth?] (Erta)

"Because they want to exterminate the wolfkin."

[Are you playing with words on me... Oh.] (Erta)

Erta exclaimed in realization. Then she looked back on the error she had committed.

Just because the royal guards had humanoid form, it didn't mean that wolfkin royalty would have them either.

[So the royalty of the wolfkin had already gone over to Earth!?] (Erta)

"Of course, there's no way Flemir would be so enraged if that wasn't the case."

Replied Yu IlHan in a leisurely manner.

His words were correct. Flemir had ended up leaving behind the target he had to protect on Earth, and was fighting against his enemies while expressing his rage."

"Uaaaaaaaah! Shitttttttttttttttttt!"

"Kuhahahahahah! Your despair makes me joyful! Slowly recount to me what happened to you!"

Killing was happening everywhere. The black wolves were desperately blocking the red wolves, and the red wolves were crushing them with superior quantity and quality.

From how the 4th class beings on the red wolves' side couldn't be seen anywhere, it seemed they were optimistic about the situation and were moving around quite slowly.

Just one, there's one who's over-classed.

"That guy's too strong for me right now. I knew I should've come over to this side. I need to keep that guy in some way or another in this place."

[It's impossible now, but how are you going to do it?] (Erta)

"That, you'll see from now."

Muttering with a laugh, Yu IlHan moved his body.

It was truly funny. Even though snow had covered this wide expanse of land, the places he went past had no traces at all. This was the power of a concealment master, and a pancosmic loner!

"Now I don't feel so good."

[You're feeling things. So Yu IlHan, what is it that you will show me?] (Erta)

Many wolves had gone over to Earth. However, he could dare to say that those were the minority.

Disregarding black or red, there were still 120 thousand wolves here on the snowy plains. What more, all 8 of the 4th classes were still here.

"What do you mean what."

Yu IlHan Laughed. It was a 'smile' befitting a truly evil 'deathgod'.

"It's nothing other than complete obliteration."

The moment Yu IlHan's words ended.

Hundreds of dragon bone spears rained from the sky and assaulted the wolves!

Author's notes

After the long gate, was a country of snow. : A parody of the first line of the novel 'Snow Country' by Kawabata Yasunari. (T/N: I dunno the exact line)

That's right, the royalty of wolfkin had already come over to Earth! Would the royalty be able to survive on Earth even after being isolated due to Yu IlHan who sees through everything?

What do you think he means by hunting a monster he can't in his current state? The hint is sufficient, right?

[You have earned 3,102,394 experience.]

[You have earned 4,129,223 experience.]

[You have earned 3,001,925 experience.]

[You have...]

[The skill, Absolute accuracy, has become level 19. Accuracy increases and power increases by a small margin.]

Although the majority were 2nd classes, it seems there were quite a few 3rd classes amongst them.

The hundreds of bone spears that fell down like rain from the skies with hundreds of thousands of tons divided up amongst them, did not differentiate black or red wolf and brought fair death upon all and gave Yu IlHan an amount of experience that made him smile.

However, it was something else that made him even more delighted.

[You have killed 281 monsters continuously within 5 minutes with concealment still intact. Due to the skill, Deathgod, all abilities increase by 28.1%.]

That was the Deathgod skill. He couldn't use this in Dareu as he could not keep his concealment against 3rd class dragonkin or the dragons.

Although there was the monstrous restriction to have to kill enemies continuously within 5 minutes, in a battlefield like this, this option would be brought out to its maximum. The reason Yu IlHan charged into the gate comparatively confidently was also because he believed in Deathgod skill.

"Although it isn't as good as fighting dragonkin with the Black bone giant spear, if it's this."

Yu IlHan felt the boiling power in his body and laughed before clicking his fingers again. The spears made from dragon bones that were collected along with the monsters he had killed with them, fell upon once again on the battlefield.

As he had avoided the places where there were ones he couldn't kill with a single strike on purpose, the bone spears, each weighing over a thousand tons, picked out the 2nd classes and the weaker 3rd classes precisely and put them to death.

[You have earned 6,758,019 ex...]

[You have....]

[The skill, Absolute accuracy, has become level 21. Usage of the skills become more free.]

As there was a limit to Yu IlHan's Deathgod skill, his ability increase stopped with 62%, but experience still piled up. It piled up like mad.

Yu IlHan used every ounce of power he could use to sense magic power in order to desperately aim for only the ones he could kill 'with a single strike'. As he had the Absolute accuracy skill, it wasn't even that hard.

If one of them survived, then it would be quite a big matter. Yu IlHan's concealment would wear off, and the Deathgod skill he had piled up would also dissipate. Well, he could conceal himself again and kill hundreds more.

[You have....]

[You have....]

[You have become level 138. 1 Strength, 2 Agility, 1 Health, 1 Magic increases.]

"Wow, finally levelled up by 1. I feel like it's been a long time."

[Stop right there.] (Erta)

His enemies were dumbfounded in panic due to the mysterious attacks, but like that, 30 thousand black and red wolves were butchered within 20 minutes when they realized that something serious was happening.

Only Flemir, who couldn't go back to Earth due to fighting against the Destruction Demon Army, and couldn't stop the slaughtering of his own kin shouted in frustration.

"Kuaaah! Just what do you want to do!"

What do you mean what, of course it's level ups.

Hummed Yu IlHan while moving. As he had to find numerous enemies at once and shoot his spears, his brain was quite pressured, but as the Absolute accuracy skill rose in level, it was also becoming quite easy.

Moreover, this pain was a pain that made him advance. Yu IlHan thought it was even fun.

"Khya, it's definitely here."

"How can I not feel the ripples in mana!?"

"We can only search everywhere."

The 4th classes belonging to Destruction Demon Army now came into his range. From what Erta confirmed, there were no higher existences here, so Yu IlHan could also move around with ease.

Yes, it's about time to decrease their numbers too.

'Let's see, that guy looks the easiest.'

He could see a 4th class wolf, well, humanoid wolfkin belonging to the Destruction Demon Army, that was slightly lacking than Flemir. The name was so long, so he decided to call it DD-wolf. 1

[You will use the pile bunker, right?] (Erta)

It was no ordinary pile bunker. What Erta was talking about was the single-time-use pile bunker he had invested the 4th class magic stone on, and one that had an attack power of over 10 thousand. However, Yu IlHan shook his head.

"No, now that I'm strengthened thanks to Deathgod and can use Blaze, the situation is slightly different."

Moreover, Yu IlHan's weapon was the epic ranked Eight-tailed dragon spear that had a pure attack power of 7,000 even without the dragonkin adjustment.

"*Sniff, sniff*, can you smell something burning?"

As DD-wolf belonged to the dog family with advanced senses, it seemed that he had found a trace of Yu IlHan in concealment, albeit a little.

4th classes were different after all! – shouted Yu IlHan in exclamation as he struck out his spear.

"Here, your neck is burning!"

Options from his class as a Blazing reaper, 40% increase in attack with surprise attacks, 30% increase against life forms, 25% increase with his robe, 62% from Deathgod, on top of all that, Blaze, purple flames, and superhuman strength were added in order to draw the flawless trajectory and slash at the DD-wolf's neck!

[Critical Hit!]

And all that damage was instantly doubled. The enemy's neck was severed like that and died without being able to make a sound.

[You have earned 531,908,117 experience.]

[You have earned the record of Lv 204 Raising Claw Wolf.]

Whether Yu IlHan shouts in a loud voice, or tap-dances while singing the national anthem, his concealment would not wear off as long as he succeeds in killing the enemy in one strike.

This guy wasn't the weak mage, and so Yu IlHan didn't think that he would be able to kill it in a single strike and he thought himself to be lucky when a critical hit popped up.

[It must be because it's an Abandoned World. Yes. It's because it's an Abandoned World...] (Erta)

"Next one coming. It will be a close combat if there's no critical hit so you be careful too."

Thousands of 2nd and 3rd classes were dying and a single 4th class dying were on completely different levels.

As he had killed too swiftly, all the beings here didn't know, but from how the red and black wolves were howling loudly, they would probably find out soon.

'Then the next opponent is... Tch!'

A being that poured cold water on his good feelings, appeared.

The over classed, huge humanoid wolfkin that looked like it was over level 230, and one that Yu IlHan wished for to move the slowest, started rushing towards the gate in a straight line!

[Kuhuuuuuuu, It seems there's something important to everyone here beyond that gate! I don't have any thoughts in playing in the field you guys made here!]

You're so smart despite your size!

Its charging speed was frightening. Moreover, all wolves were obliterated into meat paste regardless of their color, and the roar it gave out made the sky and earth tremble. That was a humanoid tank right there! Yu IlHan tried dropping a spear on it but it was useless as it did not get hit.

"Damn, Red demon wolf Quesad...!"

"Where do you think you're going, Felmir!"

"Eek, dammit... Kiana! You need to stop Quesad, he's going to the gate!"

It seemed the other 4th class ally was named Kiana. And coincidentally, it seemed the one named Kiana succeeded in slaying its enemy and started rushing towards the demon wolf, Quesad, that Flemir had talked about!

"Don't you dare! You're mine!"

"Damned traitor, begone!"

One of the 4th class DD-wolves that charged throughout the battlefield in search for Yu IlHan assaulted Kiana. Kiana dodged to the best of its abilities and rushed with only Quesad in its sight. And succeeded in holding it back before Quesad reached the gate!

However.

[Kuha!]

"Cough!"

Unfortunately, Quesad was 15 levels or more higher.

15 levels difference in 4th class was no different from an unsurpassable 4 dimensional wall. When Quesad swung its sword, the longsword in Kiana's hands snapped exactly in half.

[I! am the one who carries out the will of the Destruction Demon Army! Under their will, I will bring about new history of wolfkin, and conquer this world!]

"I won't let youuuuuuuuuu!"

However, will sometimes surpassed systems like levels! Kiana was enveloped by her will to protect the wolfkin royalty and squeezed out all of the mana in her body. When she did, a blade of mana newly protruded out on top of the broken sword!

Grabbing that, Kiana courageously went against Quesad.

A giant, and a comparatively tiny young wolf. It was as if looking at the fight between David and Goliath. Quesad raised both of its fists and put them together before striking down towards Kiana, and Kiana pierced with the mana blade it had brought out with all its remaining power!

"Kuhak!"

[Kuooooooh!]

The result soon appeared. At the same time Kiana's sword made a big hole in Quesad's chest, Quesad's two fists smashed Kiana's head.

Quesad could move with a hole on its chest, but Kiana without a head could not move any more. Obviously, it had died.

"Damn useless thing!"

Bullshit David and Goliath, it was just done in! In a few seconds too!

[But its wound is deep. Yu IlHan, attack before it recovers!] (Erta)

"I know!"

Yu IlHan also charged. However, with the exception of the DD-wolf holding down Flemir, the other two were rushing forward in order to help Quesad.

"Where.... do you think you're going!"

Naturally, 4th class wolf monsters would be faster than Yu IlHan. However, the current Yu IlHan's stats were multiplied due to the harmony of Deathgod and Angel's Support skills!

On top of that, he activated leap not vertically but horizontally, and re-leaped mid way in order to accelerate even more, so an unbelievable human bullet was created.

While Goliath, no, Quesad's face was becoming close real time, Yu IlHan took out the pile bunker. The single time-use pile bunker he invested a 4th class magic stone into!

Although he wanted to cry for using it, but this was exactly the moment he had to use it as he could not use the remote collection inventory. He could not let a monster like that go over to Earth.

"Eat this!"

With his flying momentum, Yu IlHan smashed the pile bunker into the big hole made by Kiana's mana-filled sword strike.

The moment it was about to realize Yu IlHan presence due to concealment wearing off, the pile bunker was ejected due to the shock and pierced its body!

Bbbbbbbbbbboooooom!

A monstrous quake resounded out as if the skies were collapsing. As if an Earthquake had happened, the weaker monsters even fell down without gaining balance.

From the moment it ejected the pile bunker, the launcher was destroyed into pieces, and due to the massive explosion that happened within its body, Quesad puked blood along with a painful groan.

However, even after receiving a hit from his strongest attack, it was still alive. There should be a limit to tanking! Yu IlHan used the rebound from the explosion to land nearby and panted.

"You really are a monster."

[Kuhuhahaaaaaaaa! You've finally shown yourself!]

Moreover, didn't it sound like it had waited for this moment? It had thrown its body while believing in its sturdy body.

[The lords may have a good impression of you, but not to me. Even though you are a mere human who has to borrow power from other places because you were born weak! How dare you try to join the Destruction Demon Army! I cannot accept it!]

"I don't have any thoughts in joining either!"

Kicking off the ground, Yu IlHan assaulted towards it. From some time, a spear was in his hand and was aiming for the wound he had drilled with the pile bunker.

However, Quesad was the best enemy he had met who could use a peak-level martial art with a humanoid body.

Moreover, he possessed superior strength and reflexes, so it saw through Yu IlHan's move instantly and counterattacked with its thicker-than-a-tree leg!

"Kuak!"

Yu IlHan couldn't even 'extend his spear once' before flying back through the air. It was a truly refreshing strike and a reaction. 2

If this was a comedy manga, he would be able to land on his feet, but reality wasn't so sweet. Despite being protected by sturdy armor, Yu IlHan felt that a few of his ribs were broken and had to roll on the snowy ground several times.

[Mm.]

Voiced Quesad in satisfaction.

[Let's see with my eyes the Earth you want to protect so m-]

And collapsed on the ground.

A moment later, a scarlet line of fire could be seen from the wound on its chest to its head, and like manga, its head halved.

[You have earned 2,871,192,995 experience.]

[You have earned the record of Lv 233 Blood Fenrir.]

[The skill, Blaze, has become level 9. The firepower increases even more.]

[The skill, Spear of Untraceable Trajectory, has become level 18. The power increases even more.]

"…..*Burp*. Gosh that's strong."

Confident of the enemy's death, Yu IlHan didn't even think about getting up from that place and sucked on a Breath-filled cheer pack while thinking. Spear of Untraceable Trajectory is OP after all.

"H, how can this be."

"Quesad, Quesad died to a mere human..."

The surviving DD-wolves couldn't hide their shock at Quesad's death. Flemir, who saw that the DD-wolf he was facing was stiff, achieved 1 kill in the confusion.

With that, there were 3 4th class monsters including Flemir. They were all at a laughable level compared to the Blood Fenrir Quesad.

'Now, let's clean up the rest.'

Confirming that his broken ribs had healed with Transcendent Regeneration, Yu IlHan smirked. As all the gazes were fixed to the demon wolf, he had of course, succeeded in concealing himself. This was also the reason he received the kick from Quesad in the first place.

'But that hurt too much.'

[Like I said, you shouldn't overdo it. This guy, sheesh. You're such a bad guy.] (Erta)

'I only chose the surefire and safe method.'

Replying to Erta's out-of-personality grumbling, Yu IlHan flicked his fingers. Hundreds of bone spears appeared in the air and pierced the wolves to death.

As this was an attack he was using with the inventory's remote collection function, the weight transfer function and gravity, he could only attack from top-down, but it was too fast, and too absurd, and were even affected by Absolute accuracy, it was also an attack that could not fail.

By the time the 4th class monsters realized that their enemy was still alive and succeeded in concealing himself, it was too late to do anything.

Author's notes

Inventory remote collection + absolute accuracy OP combo! Like what IlHan is saying, he can't do that much without the absolute accuracy skill.

Yu IlHan has become a moving disaster. Oh, against weak mobs I mean. Moreover, there is a limit to wielding the remote collection. It will be explained and be overcome later.

Would Destruction Demon Army just make lame attempts like that! What are the other groups doing! This will also come out later! ^^

Translator's notes

Kiana sounds like a female name.

Should I change 'Cheer pack' to 'Pouch'? 'Drinking pouch' look exactly the same as what I'm thinking, (and probably what the author is thinking)

[Kroaaaaar!]

[Kihak!]

[You have earned 12,019,283 experience.]

[You have earned 7,985,102 experience.]

[You have....]

Chaos was ensuing on the battlefield. Even now, hundreds of wolves, regardless of their affiliation, died every second. The time it took for hundreds of dead wolves to become thousands, and thousands to become tens of thousands was a matter of moments.

"Ah, Aaaaaah"

"Quesad, even Quesad is dead. We cannot kill him!"

The wolf corpses immediately went into Yu IlHan's inventory upon death, so all that remained on the white, snowy plains were footprints and traces of blood. Yu IlHan used the snowy plains as the canvas, dragon bone spears as the brush, and blood of the wolves as ink to paint a masterpiece of devastation.

"Ah goddammit. The headache…"

[You really have an exceptional sense of spatial recognition. I think you'd do well with magic too.] (Erta)

"This is enough. Gate of B-"1

[Stop right there!] (Erta)

As he had begun with killing the low levelled ones, it was a difficult task to find any more 2nd class wolves. As such, he had to change tactics, and what he came up with was to throw more than one spear at those he couldn't kill with a single strike!

Doing that, his killing speed decreased but his concealment would not wear off, and since his concealment would not wear off, the skill, Deathgod, was kept active. It was killing two birds with one stone. (P/R: Seems more like two birds with four stones though…)

Just as Yu IlHan was growing in regards to the application of inventory in actual combat, the 4th class wolves who bore witness to the disaster that rained upon their kin, fell deep into despair and became enraged.

"Flemir! If you hadn't killed Ikedka, we could have ripped apart that damned human!"

"You are no longer a wolfkin. Even if you kill that human, it does not mean victory for the wolfkin. Also..."

Flemir could not find any target to vent his rage so he clenched his teeth while facing against the DD-wolves who were growling at him.

He had watched as Quesad, the strongest wolfkin in Kiroa, being easily put to death by a human. Despite the fact that it was only possible because his ally, Kiana, had seriously injured it with her life as the tradeoff, Flemir did not believe that he could have killed Quesad even under the same conditions.

No, he would have become incapacitated with the first kick. Also, the spear strike that preceded Quesad's final moments… honestly, he wasn't even able to see it properly.

That human, had power at a level unbelievable for a human. It was hard for him to believe that this guy was from the same 'human race' that once lived in Kiroa.

'Dragon's father.... He does have the qualifications.'

Flemir just closed his eyes. He already knew what went wrong for everything to become like this.

Requesting an alliance with the humans on Earth? Trying to deceive him?

No. From the moment they tried to use Earth in order to save themselves, this ending was set in stone.

What could I do? What do I need to do? Is the princess safe? Perhaps the other humans are killing all the black wolves like that human? Will I be able to survive this predicament?

Countless questions flashed through his head and despair creeped into his heart. Meanwhile, an extremely small noise could be heard right next to him.

"KKaaaaaaak!"

Turning his head, he witnessed a scene where the neck of one of the surviving DD-wolves being slashed, and its corpse pitifully falling onto the ground. The figure of the human disaster was also there. He couldn't kill it instantly due to there being no critical hit this time.

Although, that wolf died immediately after he dealt a few more strikes using his Spear of Untraceable Trajectory!

[You have earned 820,224,008 experience.]

"Huaaaaaaah"

With that, there are only 2 more 4th classes left – Yu IlHan muttered to himself and retracted his spear when the wolf-man next to Flemir, ran while howling like a madman.

"Don't you dare!"

"Kyaoooooh!"

Noticing its movement, Yu IlHan quickly threw his spear, but as if having predicted it, that guy transformed into wolf form from the humanoid form and the spear missed.

[So they have methods to turn back into wolves!] (Erta)

"You must be sooo happy to have acquired new knowledge, huh!"

Without a moment's hesitation, Yu IlHan threw his spear again. It did hit its target, but it was nowhere near enough to give a fatal wound, and the wolf did not even think about fighting back and disappeared into the gate with a spear stuck on its ass.

"What the hell? Is that guy really a 4th class?"

[It's also the first time I've seen such a shameless 4th class....] (Erta)

Yu IlHan thought about chasing it, but thinking back to what he messaged the Empress before, he shook his head. If she used his giant spears, she would have plenty of chances to kill that wolf. Moreover, since he put a spear on its hind, she wouldn't miss that either.

Moreover, it was time for mankind to experience and overcome 4th classes. Yu IlHan couldn't protect them forever! Only when humanity suffered as a whole did Yu IlHan's humanity strengthening project have a meaning!

"And so."

While Yu IlHan killed the wolves that were throwing themselves into the gate and collecting his spears, he talked to Flemir.

"Why aren't you following it? You have a reason to, no?"

Even though his current multi-tasking had a tremendous impact on his brain, his facial expression was cold and firm any ripples.

As he had experience reading several books at once in order to read them faster, perhaps that 'training' might have helped him out.

[Such an idiotic method of training...] (Erta)

"I said don't read my mind."

Just as Erta and Yu IlHan's leisurely banter was about to continue, Flemir opened his mouth.

"So, you knew after all?"

A word containing a sense of futility without any emotions. Yu IlHan naturally nodded his head. More than a hundred wolves died yet again.

"Do you think I have udon noodles for my brain?"

"....I'm sorry."

"You don't have to be. I can just kill them all."

Flicking his hand again, a baptism of dragon bones fell once again. Since the remaining monsters were only the elites , the monsters that were killed due to the vertically falling spears were only around 1/10. In other words, tens out of hundreds died every round.

"Eii!"

Having calculated the delay of his control and the actual results from his inventory through using remote collection continuously, Yu IlHan now bundled tens of spears in sets of smaller but quicker barrages.

"Kyaoooooh!"

Even the monsters that avoided the fist strike could not continuously dodge the shower of spears that were falling on them as if having read their movement trajectories. The 3rd class wolves that finally learned the trick to dodging all fairly met their deaths yet again. Now, there were less than 20 thousand wolves remaining even after counting every single wolf.

[Aah, that horrifying skill is being developed further.] (Erta)

Regardless of Erta's despair, Yu IlHan's spear rain did not end. Monsters continued dying with no end in sight.

Yu IlHan's concealment had long since worn off, but the monsters did not even attack him. They could only helplessly fling their bodies towards the gate in order to survive.

They were all the same regardless of black or red. True unity was achieved. Yu IlHan didn't care about that though. He only decided to believe in the humans that should be fighting beyond the gate.

Meanwhile, a delightful message popped up on his retina.

[You have become level 140. 2 Strength, 1 Agility, 1 Health, 1 Magic increases.]

"Yay!"

Feeling his strength, agility, health and magic increasing, Yu IlHan was delighted.

He really did feel frustrated. He wiped out wolves on the scale of hundreds of thousands that fought with their destiny of their world on the line, but he only leveled up thrice! Of course, unlike Dareu, the majority were weak, and he did that within a single day, but even so!

However, just as Yu IlHan was about to raise his hand after leaving his joy aside, Flemir prostrated himself on the ground.2

"Please forgive us!"

"Don't wanna."

"I cannot let the wolfkin go extinct like this, please!"

"Don't wanna."

Wasn't this too different from the dragons he allied with, and the elves who served him as their emperor? In the first place, these guys had made the humans go extinct of their own will, even though the Destruction Demon Army had been pulling the strings.

And regardless of where they belonged to, they thought of Earth as their prey. Double the sin. Execution.

Above all, decisively,

"Why the hell should I believe you?"

"However!"

"There is a method!"

Someone other than Flemir shouted. Hearing the clear female voice, Yu IlHan tilted his head while turning it, and could see a black-haired woman who stood there.

Furry black wolf ears could be seen on the head, and despite the leather and metal armor, the glamorous body line couldn't be hidden. Especially around the chest area which was tightened by the sturdy metal armor and looked stuffy as hell.

"P, princess!? How!"

"I came here myself, Flemir."

"Why!"

From how Flemir, who was horrible at acting, was calling her princess with a panicked expression, it seemed this girlie was indeed the wolfkin princess. From how she said that she came here herself, it seemed also true that she had gone over to Earth, and came back here to Kiroa.

However... Yu IlHan had some questions.

"There were only wolves on the other side other than Flemir, though?"

"Among the wolfkin, those who have received the baptism of the moon can freely change between their humanoid and wolven forms. I am one of them."

The princess answered, and Yu IlHan acknowledged his mistake. He was mistaken since only the 4th class ones had humanoid forms, but it seemed it wasn't like that.

It wasn't that only 4th classes could change to humanoid forms, but the correct answer should be something along the lines of 'there is a higher chance of becoming a 4th class after gaining the ability to transform into humanoid form through the baptism of the moon'.

"So, why did you come over knowing that it's more dangerous here?"

"I have predicted one thing after seeing that both wolfkin and those tempted by the Destruction Demon Army, were charging out in fear from the gate from the other side. Moreover, I could be sure after seeing Melod....the poor wolf that was tempted by the Destruction Demon Army, coming out of the gate as if trying to run away from something; that you were enraged, and decided to destroy the wolfkin."

Perhaps due to being royalty, it seemed her head was quite a bit better than Flemir's. And so, she came back to Kiroa, when she was supposed to be hiding on Earth, since she saw that the wolfkin were about to go extinct, and she had wanted to prevent that.

For a royalty, she had quite a good sense of responsibility. Although, there were less than a third of the wolfkin left.

"There are more royalties, no?"

"None. I'm the only survivor."

"Really?"

Yu IlHan raised his hand. At that moment, Flemir desperately lowered his head while shouting.

"Please let the princess go! I will do anything!"

"No, it's fine. I don't need any of you."

"How about all of the wolfkin! Rule over the surviving wolfkin!"

This time, the shout was from the princess. Such a kind heart for her people. Yu IlHan laughed again.

"I can't believe you, and I don't need you guys either."

"I will make you be able to believe us! And there will definitely come a day where you will need our help!"

As if retorting, Yu IlHan flicked his fingers after hearing the princess's confident words.

Hundreds of dragon bone spears rained once again, but this time, only towards the red wolves.

"Aah."

Seeing that scene, the princess sighed in relief. However, Yu IlHan flicked his fingers again and asked her.

"And? How will you make me believe you?"

The princess answered,

"I've overheard the elves talking; that you have the skill 'Rule'."

Why are you guys talking about that! – Yu IlHan swore at the elves, when the princess declared confidently.

"If you rule over my life using the skill, then all wolfkin will have no choice but to obey you!"

Listening to her words, Yu IlHan thought.

Huh? I think I've seen this scenario somewhere before.

Author's notes

Aaaand, the meaning of the title is revealed.

IlHan's battling methods will change in the future as well since he will make new weapons according to the enemy! Wait, isn't this the first time he attacked by pouring out spears from his inventory!?

At this point, some of you may have noticed the bait this author has scattered at the very beginning of the story. Perhaps some of you who may have re-read the whole thing recently have realized. Well, it's a childish joke though!

This novel is not an R-18 novel. Just saying this just in case someone will say something in the comments!

Translator's notes

I believe 'Cheer pack' is a company name… They make 'drinking pouches'.

I'm keeping 'wolfkin' cuz the original word uses the same format as 'dragonkin'.

I didn't know that 'gate of babylon' meant until people told me in discord… and I guess…. MC's cleaning weapon is indeed similar… but… He can only attack vertically down, so it technically isn't the same.

"The Destruction Demon Army told us: The connection to Earth cannot be severed, and that even more worlds will be connected to Earth later! Earth will be placed in the center of all battlefields, and countless experts shall gather to conquer the land of mysticism!"

Somehow, it sounded like a game prologue.

"As such, you will need an army. An army that you can trust your back with. We shall become that power!"

"And therefore, you want me to spare you."

"Yes."

The princess immediately kneeled down. Even while shaking from nervousness, Flemir gathered the black wolves just in case the red ones attacked.

"Hm."

Yu IlHan flicked his fingers again and butchered only the red wolves again, but inside, he was quite conflicted.

'It's true that this girlie won't be able to betray me if I use the Rule skill on her. However, just how much significance does a wolfkin royalty have for her to say that those guys will follow me too? Can't they just declare someone else as royalty and stab me in the back anyway?'

"The wolfkin is centered around the royalty. Without the special power from the baptism containing the blood of the royalty, wolfkin cannot be blessed by the moon. This is also the reason why the Destruction Demon Army tried to capture and not kill me. Without me, the wolfkin will go extinct."

Explained the princess as if having read his mind. She then continued,

"The only surviving royalty is me. No, if you put me under your rule and ask me then, then I will have no choice but to answer the truth, so it will be easier to find out."

"You're quite desperate."

"I want to survive. Also, I want to let them survive."

Yu IlHan could feel that the princess wasn't lying. Yes, since it was the truth, it was all the more laughable. He snorted.

"That's why you should have thought about where you set foot in."

The princess bit her lips. When she looked at Flemir momentarily, he only lowered his head in embarrassment. Yu IlHan now knew who exactly was behind the plan to invade earth, but since it should have been the princess who gave the final approval, he had no plans on letting her off easy.

"I will not make any excuses. I just want you to understand that we're that desperate. If you listen to me, if you accept me as your subordinate, then I will do anything for you. Even if it maybe licking your boots."

"Nah, that's dirty so no."

"If so! Then I-"

Yu IlHan thought for a moment before asking Erta.

"What do you think I should do?"

[....Thinking about how a new woman is about to be stuck to you, I don't feel that well.] (Erta)

"...Huh?"

[N, nothing at all! If you can rule over a massive monster army like that, then you should. Only if you can completely subdue them. Yes, of course.] (Erta)

Somehow, the angels around him nowadays were behaving quite strangely, what exactly was happening? While tilting his head and scratching his ear, Yu IlHan nodded his head. He then flicked his fingers once again.

"Kuaaaaaaah!"

"Kgwaaaaahk"

Over 400 dragon bone spears. They didn't show the slightest sign of cracks even after hundreds of throws, despite having ended the life of all the howling red wolves on this land.

With that, in this world of Kiroa at least, wolfkin that belonged to the Destruction Demon Army did not exist any more. Well, at least among those that took part in this war.

"Very well."

Emotionally speaking, he could never accept this, but Yu IlHan wasn't an idiot who decided everything based on his emotions.

If it was Yu IlHan alone, then he had the resolve and confidence to survive anywhere and everywhere, but if all other people of Earth died and Yu IlHan was left alone, then there would be no more people to play tic-tac-toe with, would there? Well, there wasn't anyone to play with him in the first place, but still!

"I accept your suggestion."

"Thank you very much!"

"Dammit."

While the princess was being thankful to the point that she was even banging her head on the ground, Flemir was frowning due to his complicated emotions. From that, it did seem like the princess wasn't lying.

"Then please, immediately subordinate me!"

"But wait. I don't think I have any room in the ski-"

Muttering, Yu IlHan checked the information on his status, and the Rule skill amongst that, and he was surprised to find out that the level of it had already reached 13. The reason was simple. It seemed that Yumir and the elves were going on quite the rampage, and as such, his skill level was rising rapidly.

He had plenty of room. He could probably take an additional 7 on top of the princess.

"Scratch that. Let's hurry then."

"Yes!"

Extending his hand, Yu IlHan activated the Rule skill. Flemir looked like he wanted to stop it at all costs. While Yu IlHan was thinking that Flemir was not cut out for acting at all, the Rule skill had safely subordinated her.

[Moon Wolf, Ericia, has been subordinated to you. Ericia's growth rate accelerates. You are now able to see Ericia's status.]

It wasn't like he was going to raise her well, but he still opened her status just in case she had lied, but it seemed like she was definitely the princess of the wolfkin; One of her titles was 'Blessing of the Moon Goddess'.

"Level 85. Aren't ya weak."

"It has not been a long time since Her Ladyship was bo-"

"Flemir, do not call me politely in front of my master."

"Yes!"

Just as Yu IlHan was about to say that addressing each other using titles was tedious, he came to a conclusion that it didn't matter at all, as the two wolves looked very serious. To be exact, he couldn't be bothered to meddle.

Now that he had subordinated her, if anything became different, it was the attitude of the surviving black wolves. Although the wolves still possessed remnants of fear and hostility towards Yu IlHan, they were still kneeling down and paying their respects.

Nearly ten thousand wolves paying their respects to him wasn't such a bad feeling. He wasn't used to receiving attention, but that didn't matter since they all lowered their heads towards him. Satisfied, Yu IlHan looked at the surroundings. He still couldn't see any red wolves.

"Then let's go clean up quickly."

"Yes, master."

The princess went into the gate first. Flemir looked at Yu IlHan with an expression that he wanted to say something, but soon frowned and followed her into the gate. Looking at their backs, Yu IlHan tilted his head.

"Hey, are they dating each other?"

[Perhaps.] (Erta)

Said Erta in a tone like she reeeeeeaaallly wanted them to be. So this angel was meddling in other's love affairs now? Yu IlHan ended up laughing.

"I don't want to accept that guy as a subordinate either, but if they want to marry then I can just accept him as subordinate and make them marry."

[And the child born from the two?] (Erta)

"Free slave acquired."

[Slave-born-slave treatment!?!!] (Erta)

Yu IlHan headed into the gate. What was left behind was the ten thousand wolves that still had their heads on the ground, and the snowy plains blanched in blood..

"Defend that side!"

"Hold out, on the right! Hold out a little more!"

"Kroaaaaaaang!"

Beyond the gate was a total mess. Black and red wolves were howling, and human shouts filled the land.

Brave people, cowardly people, and the four elves that stood out despite having concealed their appearances using artifacts, and a roughly 7-year old child that was sweeping the wolves with frightening magic in an angel's bosom! Wait, he got bigger again!

"Susanoo!?"

Michael Smithson, who managed to see Yu IlHan's figure, shouted in a loud voice. Just as Yu IlHan was thinking that this guy maybe liked him, the majority of the humankind people abruptly raised their heads and found Yu IlHan, when they shouted simultaneously.

"It's real!?"

"Susanoo came back!"

With an incomprehensible feeling, Yu IlHan flicked his fingers. When hundreds of bone spears similar to those that decimated Kiroa continent were summoned once again, the wolves all gave up fighting and just stood still in resignation, waiting for their deaths, but the bone spears only found and killed the red ones, even within the chaos of the battlefield.

Everything was thanks to the ability of Absolute accuracy. To be exact, if he did not have that ability, he wouldn't have tried summoning those spears in the air and letting them fall down.

"Hah."

"Now he's pouring out hundreds of spears."

While the humans were being shocked, the spears were re-collected and thrown again.

Up, down. Up, down. Wolves died. Wolves died again.

If people realized that even something of this level was Yu IlHan showing restraint considering the growth of other people, then what would the other people think? Of course, he was doing that precisely because he had predicted that!

"Dad!"

Yumir, who arrived near Yu IlHan with Liera's help, dispelled his concealment and hugged Yu IlHan, before bashing his head onto the armor again. It didn't look like he felt any pain as he was smiling.

Liera had a look at the messy battlefield before explaining to Yu IlHan.

[This boy was no joke.] (Liera)

"He shouldn't have been able to do much after the chain level ups stopped, though?"

Middle tier wind magic was definitely strong, and a dragon's Mana control would make that even stronger. However, Yumir's level was still too low. The first few shots would have been enhanced by the amplified mana resulting from chain level ups, but after level ups slow down, it should have been difficult to do much more.

Moreover, from how he had a figure that was fit attend elementary school, he was definitely a 2nd class now!

[The clan master of the Lightning God Clan gave him a mana potion. That woman has tons of them. I did hear about the idiom 'money can even make ghosts do things', but I still wonder if that woman bought an entire alchemy guild] (Liera)

"Pretty and kind noona!"

Yumir added onto Liera's explanation. The strong was scary, but it seemed like this guy liked Kang MiRae.

Thinking back, as he was using magic in a battlefield without Yu IlHan, his concealment would have worn off. This meant that Kang MiRae gave him potions after seeing that Yumir was strong.

"Your Majesty!"

The elves came as well. The thief, Phiria, and the archer, Paté, were relatively clean, but Mirey and Jirl who had to block the monsters with their bodies, were soaked in blood.

Although their faces were covered, Yu IlHan could know without taking their masks off how delighted they were at meeting Yu IlHan again. Laughing, Yu IlHan spoke.

"You guys are dirty so fight somewhere else."

"The cold Majesty is cool too!"

"Go kill the red wolves instead.

The humans weren't at a disadvantage in the first place, but with the return of Yu IlHan and the 4th class wolfkin, Flemir, the morale instantly tipped towards the human side. Moreover, it seemed that the DD-wolf that went beyond the gate before had already died.

Looking at the traces of the tens of giant spears that were destroyed, Yu IlHan smirked. Before going through the gate, he had told the Empress how to cause an explosion using the stored lightning energy as the fuel.

It would naturally be enough to kill a 4th class. He had made them with that in mind in the first place as well. Insurance did work. He was very satisfied.

"Give eternal rest to our kin tainted by the dirty Destruction Demon Army! Show them the might of our wolfkin!"

The princess didn't even consider going back to wolven form now, and courageously shouted. The black wolves rampaged even more under the princess' encouragement and ripped apart the red wolves, and Flemir killed the red wolves as if it could save one more wolfkin.

Yu IlHan supported them by dropping some bone spears whenever he felt that he was about to be forgotten, as he walked out of the battlefield.

Beyond the defensive formation formed of thousands of tankers, the clan master of the Magia clan, Carina Malatesta, who just finished killing tens of red wolves with her magic.

"Would you care to explain? You said you were going to come back after killing all the 4th classes, no?"

"After killing all the red wolves, we now don't have to kill the black ones any more."

"And why is that?"

Every long-ranged attackers focused their attention on him. Yu IlHan kindly explained to the people who were confused due to the sudden turnaround in the situation.

"I have subdued them. In other words, they are my underlings now."

"...Sorry?"

She replied. Yu IlHan kindly repeated again, and her smiling face froze stiff.

Well, not just her, everyone who heard that, their expressions turned stiff.

The battle ended within 30 minutes after that.

After the red wolves were obliterated, the humans surrounded the black wolves while remaining on guard. Originally, they were prepared to attack the black wolves right away, but thanks to Susanoo's sudden declaration, it was put on hold.

"So."

The clan master of the Lightning God Clan, Kang MiRae, put her hand on her forehead, trying to calm herself down as much as possible, while confirming the situation with Yu IlHan.

"These guys all became your subordinates?"

"Yes."

Nodding, Yu IlHan gave a glance to Ericia. She, along with Flemir, walked into the front and greeted her by bowing slightly.

When she backed off slightly behind Yu IlHan and knelt, all the surviving wolves followed her. It was a complete declaration of submission.

"Oh my word…"

"Insane. Now he's taming monsters? And on such a large scale too?"

"Just how..."

Everyone became shocked. It wouldn't be strange for any one of them to shout 'I can't believe it!' or 'I cannot accept that!', but no one did. That was because, if they started questioning, they had to question the very existence of Susanoo first.

"Every 4th class being with the exception of that guy, Flemir, have all perished. If you want, you may enter the gate to confirm the corpses."

"We do not doubt your words. However, they are monsters, and as such, we can not help but be worr-"

"I will take responsibility."

So said Susanoo. The clan masters all subconsciously nodded their heads.

Of course, he did say this while glaring at Ericia and Flemir. It was a confirmation, saying 'I did all this for you, so you know what will happen when you cause an accident, right?'. Of course, the wolves could not understand English, but they seemed to have noticed something and nodded like mad.

"Then, we want to confirm these guys going into the gate."

That was very simple. When Yu IlHan ordered, Flemir made all the surviving 3 thousand black wolves go into the gate.

Some calmed down at the scene, some felt admiration, and some were overwhelmed.

"Susanoo and wolf army…"

"So no one in the world can go against him now."

"So nothing really changed then."

When all the normal wolves went back into the gate, all that was left was Flemir and Ericia. Flemir was still busy chewing his lips, and Ericia whispered to Yu IlHan after approaching him.

"Master, would it be rude for me to ask you for one week? I want to gather the surviving wolfkin and make a new habitat..."

"I'll give you 2 weeks, go. If there are any Destruction Demon Army guys left, then clean them up too. Oh, take this too."

"Ah! Thank you very much!"

When Yu IlHan took out some random unique ranked weapon and armor after rummaging around his inventory, she bowed several times in thanks and went beyond the gate with Flemir.

The humans were looking at the gate absent mindedly as it was still spitting out ominous smoke, but when Kang MiRae clapped, they all looked towards her as if entranced.

"We obtained victory."

She declared as such.

"Thanks for your work, everyone."

That, was like a magical declaration. Everyone present was nervous in front of a global-scale crisis, but now, they could be relieved.

Really, the short and chaotic war of the Autumn night, came to an end with this.

"Huh? Where did Susanoo go!?"

"He disappeared! Ah, the cute little boy flying in the air alone too!"1

"There were also 4 really strong people of unknown affiliation."

Thanks to Kang MiRae gathering attention, it became easier to activated concealment. He even wondered if this was her intention in the first place. Yu IlHan left the place with the elves, Liera and Erta, and Yumir, while concealed.

"Susanoo, I need to have a showdown with Susanoo!"

"Someone drag this madman away. But it's still a pity. I wanted to have a talk with Susanoo."

"Retreating troops! Let's just leave a part for guarding the gate...."

"What do we do with this land? No one's gonna live here."

Thanks to Susanoo's sudden disappearance, some were enraged, and some fell into confusion, but they couldn't look for him forever. Since the battle had ended, it was now time to clean up.

They had to thank the forces that came to help from foreign countries, gather dead bodies of allies, look after the injured, check for any enemies that may have escaped, contact the media, contact the government, come up with compensation on a national scale for the ones whose properties were damaged, and decide what to do with the gate and....

As the representative of the Korean ability users, and as someone who had connections with the government, military, media, and even some foreign governments, Kang MiRae's true battle had only just started.

To be honest, thanks to Yu IlHan's actions being too storm-like, they were still dumbfounded, but it was also thanks to him that the damage received was so little. Although some work had increased due to him, there were some that had decreased due to him as well.

Although it was a little off for a 100% pure Korean to be called 'Susanoo', but they couldn't deny the fact that the name was too fitting.

He was like a storm. No one could find him, and no one could hold him down, he came and went as he wished, but somehow it didn't feel so bad. That was even stranger.

Just as Kang MiRae took up her phone, it lightly vibrated and showed the message it had just received.

[I want to have a talk. Please contact me when you have some time.]

Quite a careful tone, contrasting to the figure that had overwhelmed all the humans and wolves alike just a moment before. Looking at that message, Kang MiRae's heart thumped loudly for a moment. Looking at that, Na YuNa asked her while tilting her head.

"Mirae, you like work so muuuuch? It's gonna be hellish from now on, but why are you smiling?"

"Na YuNa, you're going to work too."

"Ugyak!"

Smile? Nonsense. It was just her facial muscles relaxing due to the taut situation calming down as well. Or so muttered Kang MiRae as she grabbed Na YuNa by the neck.

Just then though, Kang HaJin, who was moving even more busily than Kang MiRae, ended his phone call when he approached her with a stiff face.

"MiRae."

"Keep the private talk to later."

"Father wants to see you."

Kang MiRae's expression solidified as well. Was it because she said she didn't want to go to university? Did she do something that breached her father's authority?

Just as she thought of some questions in her head, Kang HaJin spoke in a slightly nervous voice.

"He wants to talk about Mr. Yu IlHan."

".....No, I'm not going."

She shook her head like a little child. All people that knew the Empress would be shocked if they saw this.

"I'll set the tentative date to the day after tomorrow."

"No, I'm not going."

"Don't be stubborn. There's a phone call for you, let's work."

"I'm not going, I'm not going."

"MiRae's so cute. Peek-a-bo-Kyahak!"

"You work."

Lightning struck Na YuNa's head just as she found an opportunity to tease Kang MiRae. With a depressed face, Kang MiRae took up her phone.

The day after tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, eh. God dammit I don't care any more, let's work first.

Just as everyone started their new battle, the sun was rising beyond the horizon.

Meanwhile, Yu IlHan, who couldn't care less about other people singing songs or dancing about him, headed home faster than anyone.

The elves were boasting about how many wolves they killed, so Yu IlHan said he killed 70 thousand to make them shut up.

"Dad, I killed a lot too! I killed thiiiiiiiiiiiiis much!"

"Yeah, I'm proud of you son."

"Can I become stronger?"

"Of course you can."

It wasn't some empty words. Yu IlHan brushed Yumir's head and checked his stats, and he found that he had changed from an Infant dragon to Kid dragon, and his level was 55. This, happened within a single day from birth.

Going over to skills, it was jaw-dropping. Perhaps due to undergoing 2nd class advancement, there were various new passive and active skills, and middle-tier wind magic had even rose to level 39. Concealment was even more of a spectacle at level 47. No matter how extreme the situation was... Yu IlHan was just dumbfounded.

"Dragons are really OP beings. There was no 2nd class quest either?"

[Dragons are races that were promised the 4th class upon birth. There's no way they'd have quests.] (Erta)

[But don't you think Mir is a genius among them too? His growth is too fast. As expected of my son.] (Liera)

[Who's your son again?] (Erta)

No class quests? That's even more OP! If it wasn't for the fact that he was his son, Yu IlHan would have complained about it already, but seeing Yumir fidgeting his ever-small fingers and digging into Yu IlHan's embrace, his boiling rage calmed down.

Yes. He's cute so it's okay.

[So, are you sure they won't stab you in the back?] (Liera)

Liera, who couldn't be with him over the gate unlike Erta, asked worriedly. Yu IlHan nodded.

"I applied the Rule skill on her and checked so it's fine."

[And not that you accepted her because she's a pretty girl?] (Liera)

Yu IlHan blinked; this was a direction he had not expected an attack from.

"She's a monster. What's there to be 'cute' about?"

[Dragons are monsters too...?] (Liera)

"Huh, you're right. So there's no need to be so bothered about that....?"

Yu IlHans thinking changed. Liera despaired, thinking that she shouldn't have said that, and Erta glared at her. But fortunately, Yu IlHan added.

"It doesn't matter in any case. They are in the end, just my subordinates. There's no way they will like me. Rather, it will be a miracle if they don't hate me."

"I'm not just a subordinate. For Your Majesty, I can hand my life!"

"Th, then my soul!"

"Th, then all my records!"

The angels were relieved thanks to Yu IlHan's words, and the elves who couldn't hear the angels' voices muttered slightly nonsensical things, and Yumir, who could listen to their voices from birth, was just all smiles. So cute.

After coming home, Yu IlHan and co first slept. Just two hours. That was enough.

Excluding Yumir, who needed quite a lot of sleep at his age, everyone shrugged off their fatigue with a short sleep and calmly headed towards the workshop and started dismantling, Only Erta stayed behind to look after the child.

"Guys, rejoice. If you dismantle all the dragonkin, then it's the wolves next."

"I'm really happy, Your Majesty."

"Haha, hahahaha....."

Yu IlHan first took out some dragonkin corpses to let the elves dismantle them, and he himself took out the meat that had matured inside the bucket, removed any poison, and even collected Breath, which became an even more 'thrilling' alcoholic drink.

Then, he refilled it with dragon blood and meat. There were still a lot of dragon meat-in-waiting. To be exact, there were still 1250 of them to go. It would be enough for several generations to come!

"Guys, finish up the stuff you're doing and come. I'll grill you some dragon meat."

"Yay!"

"I'm touched, Your Majesty!"

Yu IlHan declaring to cook dragon meat in what's supposed to be his workshop, and the elves who rejoice with his declaration. If there was chaos, this was one!

If Erta was here, she would have sighed saying that his figure was unbefitting of a father, but Liera was an angel who was on a completely different plane than her, so she said this.

[I wanna eat too. That sounds delicious.] (Liera)

"Wait a little more."

As the poisonous stuff was mostly in the dragon blood, the dragon meat that matured in the bucket had only trivial amount of poison left. A Weak poison resistance skill would suffice, and even if one didn't have one, it would just end with a slightly numb tongue and a DoT.

[That's quite serious though!?] (Liera)

"It's alright. I raised my elves strong so they all have weak poison resistance at least."

"I have normal Poison resistance, Your Majesty."

Boasted Phiria, who was quite well-versed in poison as expected of a thief class. She had finished dismantling quite a bit quicker than the others.

"Good, I'll give you one first."

"My honor."

Yu IlHan took out a BBQ grill (made of dragon bones) and washed it before heating it up with the Eternal Flame.

Next, he sliced some pieces of meat into bite-sized meat and put it on the grill, and when that happened, a bone-shivering sound of grilling could be heard, and a nice fragrance could be smelled.

"Wao, I'm happy at this point too."

[The skill, Cooking, has become level 54. You can cook various dishes more proficiently, and the completed cooking will have deeper and more varied taste.]

Just grilling the dragon meat made his skill rise by 5 levels! Just that was enough compensation for maturing the meat. Yu IlHan became even happier.

Anyway, since he had promised, the first piece was for Phiria. When he picked up a piece of meat that was grilled nicely and instantly thanks to the Eternal Flame, with chopsticks, Phiria closed her eyes and took the piece with her mouth. Here was the first elf across all worlds to savour dragon meat.

"Aaaaaah."

Having eaten the dragon meat, Phiria couldn't say anything and just exclaimed. Her two eyes became teary as well. Yu IlHan was curious about the taste and he took one as well.

His two eyes abruptly opened. If he could, he would have shone out with golden light from his eyes.

"Oooooh, Oooooooooooooh!"

[I knew you'd say that.] (Liera)

"It gently melts in my mouth as soon as a bite on it. On top of the being-and-not-being like chewy feeling,an absurd fragrance explodes in my mouth and it's as if there's a festival in my mouth! Oooh, Carnival!"

[Did you practice that line?] (Liera)

Just how delicious was it to be like that? At this point, Liera couldn't help but check. In fact, although she had killed a lot of dragons, she never ate one.

However, just as she took Yu IlHan's chopsticks to pick up some meat, the angel's ring on her head rose and emitted some light. Another angel was communicating to her. Even though no one was supposed to trouble another when eating!

Liera received the incoming message while grumbling. The angel she knew well, Spiera, was saying this.

[Liera, Heaven's Army came to a decision. As the higher existence factions related to Earth are showing suspicious movements, I will also help Yu IlHan from now on. You did say he became a 3rd class and the number of angels he can contract increased, right?]

[...]

Due to the sudden declaration, Liera lost her words and just stood stiff.

Yu IlHan's baggage was going to increase now.

"And so what? This angel called Spiera will come to contract me?"

[Yeah.] (Liera)

Liera replied with a depressed face while putting dragon meat in her mouth. Her expression brightening and darkening in a cycle was considerably cute, and so, he gave her another one and her expression brightened before darkening again. It really was cute.

[And it was as if her coming down was a massive reward for you too. Does she want to play now that the war is over? .... But hey, why do you keep giving me meat?] (Liera)

"Because you're cute."

[Then I can't help it. Aaahn.] (Liera)

Liera stopped thinking and decided to just receive the meat. The meat was delicious already, but since she was called cute as well, there was no way she could not eat it.

"Have some wine too. You have extreme poison resistance, right?"

[Yeah.] (Liera)

Yu IlHan took out two goblets he made by carving out dragon bones and poured Breath onto it. He form-created it with fire, added other fragments in detail as well and even embedded some jewels he had lying around in his inventory, so the goblet was extremely beautiful to the point that even some third-rate alcohol would look good in it.

"Your Majesty. Do you not have any for us?"

"I do want to give you, but since you guys don't have extreme poison resistance, you will be poisoned to death if you drink this."

"Damn!"

Seeing Liera and Yu IlHan geonbae'ing(kanpai-ing), the elves resolved to acquire extreme poison resistance at any costs. However, their passion was short lived, and they became happy after eating dragon meat. The elves thought that this meat may even save the world.

"And so? How's this angel called Spiera? Is she trustable?"

After a round of drinks, Yu IlHan asked about Spiera as Liera looked to be in a better mood now. Liera replied obediently.

[If it wasn't for her, many angels would have died until now. Her career is long, she's upright, she takes the front line in killing traitors... And that's why she's being hated by the other factions, too. If Spiera comes to us, then the probability of other factions aiming for us will increase.] (Liera)

"I don't think it's possible for us to get in any more danger than this, so that's fine."

[A very good way of thinking.] (???)

At that moment, a reply came out from someone other than Liera.

Raising his head with a piece of dragon meat in his mouth, there was a beautiful angel with burning scarlet hair tied into a ponytail. There was no need to ask who she was. 1

"Haah."

Sighed Yu IlHan while emptying his goblet.

"All these damned angels intrude my property without my permission."

[My name is Spiera. Human Yu IlHan. It is nice to meet you. It seems you have the talent to get caught up in any and every major incident occurring on Earth.] (Spiera)

"Yeah, dammit. I'm soooo thankful to Heaven for giving me this talent."

Moreover, this girlie was picking a fight as soon as she arrived.

[I'm not trying to look down on you. You have splendidly taken care of all incidents that we judged as impossible for the people of Earth, and that is worthy of praise. I was curious about you from how Erta and Liera only talked about you whenever they came up to Heaven, but since there was a nice opportunity this time. I came down here myself.] (Spiera)

"Time? Opportunity?"

[As the War of the Wall of Chaos had ended not long before, and with an overwhelming victory on our side, we do not have to worry about that for the time being. Also, I became quite free after have lived a long time without rest. And lastly, the number of angels you can contract with had increased after acquiring your 3rd class...] (Spiera)

Spiera stopped talking and sniffed.

[You give me quite a surprise as soon as I come down. What is this smell? Both the meat and the wine are of a variety that I have never come across before.] (Spiera)

"Liera, what the hell is up with her? She's trying to rip off meat and wine as soon as we meet."

[As you see, she's a total thug.] (Liera)

Spiera lightly glared at Liera but she only snorted. Although Spiera was still above her even after advancing to the same class, Liera didn't care about that because that was her personality in the first place.

Seeing two angels having a power struggle, Yu IlHan lightly smacked Liera on the head and spoke.

"Sit, and you can eat and drink too."

[Is that fine?] (Spiera)

"If I contract you then the power as an angel's partner will increase right? Since we're gonna do it anyway, I'm not letting you get upset just because I didn't pour you wine."

[Hm...I think you're settling things a little too fast. But very well.] (Spiera)

Sitting obediently, Spiera took the goblet. With the members drinking alcohol increased to 3, the elves immediately felt more isolated.

[I'll be honest. There are quite a few angels who want to contract with you. There are some who want to get to know you as you're almost guaranteed to become a higher existence in the future, while there are also who want to experience this small world that's undergoing many changes, with the strongest person here. Even at the risk of destruction.] (Spiera)

"Quite the perverts there."

[I also have an interest in you. Also, I want to give you some help in confronting the traitors of Heaven's Army.] (Spiera)

Just as Yu IlHan was about to pass it over like it was nothing, as he had decided to not rely on the angels any more, Spiera suddenly spoke.

[It seems you don't expect anything.] (Spiera)

"Of course, Liera and Erta were a great help of me until now. They helped me console my loneliness, and made me stronger in Abandoned worlds. As such, I'm expecting quite a lot of things from you as well. If you have the courage to play tic-tac-toe with a loner like me, then we will become much closer in the future."

[I'm speaking of a more fundamental help. If you listen to me, then you will think differently. I guarantee it.] (Spiera)

Spiera said with a voice filled with confidence. When Yu IlHan looked at Liera, she shook her head and retorted,

[This woman's the worst.] (Liera)

[I heard you mastered many martial arts. And I hear you even upgraded Spear Mastery too.] (Spiera)

Spiera spoke while ignoring Liera. It was quite sudden, but Yu IlHan went with the flow.

"Yes, but I left the rest alone because it's hard to fulfill the evolution criteria. It will be a problem even if they do evolve ."

[Sure. You must be plenty busy getting into the spear right now.] (Spiera)

Yes. Yu IlHan had his hands full with just the Spear of Untraceable Trajectory.

Of course, although it was difficult to fulfill the requirements for the evolution given to him by the Akashic Record, it wasn't impossible. There were no insane requirements like having to kill a 4th class with a single strike. And if it were 3rd classes, he had the confidence to fulfill all of them after making a legend ranked weapon.

However, so what if he evolved it? He had a relatively low level for his advanced spear skill, and if he tried to learn the other ones, then he may as well become a jack of all trades, but a master of none.

As such, Yu IlHan was planning to improve on various other skills starting with Physical combat after training Spear of Untraceable Trajectory to a certain level.

However, Spiera took out quite a strange story this time.

[Then do you know about fusion evolution then?] (Spiera)

"Yup."

Amongst the skills Yu IlHan had in his possession, shooting skill was a skill that was impossible to evolve any further, and throwing skill was a skill that could not evolve alone. And when that throwing skill was about to evolve, he got a notification that it wanted to fuse-evolve with the shooting skill.

The result was the Absolute accuracy skill; the number one contributor skill to Yu IlHan's OP inventory use, and a skill that Yu IlHan couldn't do without now.

[If you know then this will be quick. Then I ask you. Do you think the skills that can evolve alone can only evolve alone? Would those skills be impossible to fuse-evolve?] (Spiera)

Lightning flashed in Yu IlHan's brain for a moment. However, trying his best to calm himself down, Yu IlHan asked.

"....Say it more simply."

[Very well. Did the dig*mons who could only evolve with dig*-eggs at the beginning of the series armor-dig*volve until the very end?] (Spiera)

No, it was possible to dig*volve normally! That explanation was truly simple for Yu IlHan to understand.

[There are skills that are impossible to evolve, as well as ones that can only evolve via fusion evolution and also that can only evolve alone. If so, then it won't be strange for there to be skills that are both possible to be evolved alone, and fuse-evolved. You just did not know of this fact. Like how V*emon didn't know he could evolve into Exv*emon!]

Hearing that, Yu IlHan hurriedly had a look at his status, but although there was information on what to do to evolve Physical combat, Blunt weapon mastery, and Sword mastery, there was no explanation about fusion evolution.

[It's because that's the best you can do currently that the Akashic Record is telling you that path. Akashic Record is also a navigation of sorts. Akashic Record tells you the shortest path you can take, but does not tell you the path which you cannot take with your current power. You did not fulfill the requirements to dig*volve into Exv*emon.] (Spiera)

"The requirements to evolve, you say..."

Yu IlHan accepted it immediately. The throwing skill he evolved would have been impossible to fuse-evolve without the shooting skill. What about the Spear mastery? If he didn't master his concealment, it would have become a completely different spear technique and not his Spear of Untraceable Trajectory.

What Spiera was talking about right now as also the same thing.

[I also didn't know that!] (Liera)

Liera got angry!

[You should've told me before!]

[Liera, the only martial arts you've trained to the maximum level is the spear and your physical combat so it would have been no use to tell you anyway. It is difficult to meet any perverted existences who master many different weapons.] (Spiera)

The 'perverted existence who mastered many different weapons', Yu IlHan, asked with lights in his eyes.

"Of course, the base of the fusion evolution skill you're talking about should be the spear, right?"

[Naturally, I can't teach you something other than the spear to you who is focusing on the spear.] (Spiera)

Spiera called out a long and beautiful white spear on one hand and reliably nodded.

Of course, Yu IlHan's spear had evolved to Spear of Untraceable Trajectory. However, that didn't mean that his Spear mastery skill had disappeared. It still existed as the max level skill. Just that, it could not evolve any further, and is unable to evolve alone into another skill other than the Spear of Untraceable Trajectory.

And that was the same with the Resting skill, Concealment skill, Shooting skill, and the Throwing skill.

As such, it wouldn't be too surprising to fuse-evolve it with other skills. Likewise, even if these skills end up fuse-evolving, the ones that could standalone evolve will still be able to evolve standalone. In any case, there was nothing to lose.

"So? What conditions do I need to fulfill in order to be able to fuse-evolve? What do I need to do? You do know that it will be meaningless for me to master those skills if they take a long time, right?"

[That is.] (Spiera]

Spiera stopped Yu IlHan's barrage of questions with a serious voice. While Yu IlHan stared at her, she picked up the dragon meat on the grill and put it in her mouth.

[*nom nom*. something I'll tell you if you contract me. *nom nom*] (Spiera)

"We have a deal."

Yu IlHan could even accept a contract to become a magical girl if it was to acquire any evidence about fuse evolved spear techniques.

[Well decided. Even if you cannot train the skill right now, it will definitely become useful in the future.] (Spiera)

Swallowing the meat, Spiera took a drink of Breath and exclaimed, before extending her hand towards Yu IlHan. While Liera was looking at that scene with a pouting face, Yu IlHan received her hand.

[Take care of me in the future, Yu IlHan.] (Spiera)

"That's what I wanted to say."

At that moment, a connection formed between Yu IlHan and Spiera and the power as an Angel's partner increased within Yu IlHan.

[You have contracted with the archangel Spiera! Angel's Protection and Angel's Support skill increases in power!]

[Against higher existences, it becomes possible to activate Angel's support even if you're not in an Abandoned World!]

"Hahah, this really is…"

Looking at the updated information, Yu IlHan made a vain laugh.

"Why do I feel so worried even though I now get such a benefit?"

Now able to activate Angel's Support against higher existences? It feels as if it would really happen!

Wait, are the Destruction Demon Army guys making their newbies lie in wait without casting off their shells? Just because they want to catch Yu IlHan!?

No, wait, the world was screwed up so it was unknown what might happen. Yu IlHan decided to train the Deathgod skill while taking care of his health a little more.

[Then I'll say it to you now.] (Spiera)

Spiera, feeling better now due to the contract, spoke.

[The spear fusion skill that I could only learn after I acquired my 6th class, 'Great Cosmos-severing Spear'. In order to learn it....] (Spiera)

"Wait, I don't wanna learn it after hearing that name!"

[Huh? What you want to teach him is the Great Cosmos-severing Spear!? Me too! I want to learn it too!] (Liera)

"How is something like that the target of envy!?"

It's the same advanced weapon technique, but why the hell is the name so childish! It sounds like an elementary-schooler came up with it!

[It's the name I've come up with after thinking wholeheartedly. You should also be able to name the spear technique you have created?] (Spiera)

He checked, and it did seem like it was possible to change the name as he wanted to. However, Yu IlHan decided to keep it. It was not boasting, but he had no confidence in his naming sense.

If he made something worse than 'Great Cosmos-severing Spear', then he wouldn't be able to take it. What if someone who mastered both concealment and Spear mastery learned Yu IlHan's Spear technique and swore at him?

[Anyway, to learn Great Cosmos-severing Spear, you need to master Spear mastery, Physical combat, Sword mastery, Blunt weapons mastery, and,] (Spiera)

Spiera added, with a slight smirk too.

[Whip mastery, for your basics.] (Spiera)

She was saying this with her expression: Even though it's definitely an advanced skill and it will be of great help to you, but first you need to master the whip! It should be hard, eh!

Yu IlHan said 'oh' and took out a whip from his inventory. Thinking back, although he had experience in making a whip after the Great Cataclysm, he had never used one himself. That was because he never had the opportunity to.

However, that didn't mean he couldn't use it.

Yu IlHan lightly swung his whip. For the Akashic Record to notice his ability, that was enough.

[You have awakened, Whip mastery Lv Max. If you fulfill the evolution materials and criteria, it's possible to evolve to an advanced level.]

[It now becomes possible to fuse-evolve Spear mastery. However, your record and insights are too lacking so it is difficult to set an evolution criteria without a deeper level of training.]

With a smirk, Yu IlHan had a look at Spiera. Her previous expression was already gone, and Liera drank the wine as if it was her who had given Spiera a blow. Of course, the elves were just eating dragon meat.

"Well then, teach me now."

[Tch, I can't help it....] (Spiera)

With a dying expression, Spiera nodded.

Archangel Spiera. She was placed in a disadvantageous position in this contract on the first day….

Author's notes

Liera is being tamed.

Angels have the hobby of intruding other's property.

I also had a time when I thought that digimons could only armor-digivolve in Digimon 2nd season.

Contract with me and become a magical girl! : Dear readers, let's read the contract document properly before signing any contract.

There are no cases of standalone-evolved skills evolving standalone again. That is because it has already evolved to the form that's best fitting for that person. However, as seen on the chapter, the source skill of the evolved skill is still kept, so it's possible to fuse-evolve with other skills!

The meaning behind this arc's title was revealed quite quickly.

Translator's notes

Guys, I'm using Digimon wikia here. so you may know Veemon as V-mon and Exveemon as XV-mon, as well as digivolution being just evolution. But man, the author of that series must be lazy in naming, naming a creature 'v-mon' just because there was a 'v' on its head. (and xv-mon because there was an x-shaped scar on the front as well as the v on the head)
