125 - 130

Even after finishing off the armor, Yu IlHan's smithing did not stop, however, since he had made everything he needed to, the time he spent smithing decreased a lot. If so, it would be good if he trained in the Great Cosmos-severing Spear, but he did not do so.

"Good, I'll master it in 5 hours."

[It looks really uncool though...] (Liera)

What he used that time to practice was 'swapping'. 'Swapping' the armor he is currently wearing to the one inside his inventory. And with as little a delay as possible too!

Now that he had prepared a fire attribute armor and a water attribute armor, swapping was an important technique.

Of course, until now, he did swap weapons or took out multiple of them during battle, but swapping weapons that are used with the two hands, and swapping a full plate armor over his body differed a lot in difficulty.

If Yu IlHan's body movement was even the slightest bit off, then only the armor he was currently wearing will go inside his inventory, and the new armor won't be worn, and therefore, he would be put in a difficult position. Mostly, around his thighs.

[It would be good even if you strip, though.] (Liera)

"It will bring about a physical and a mental trauma so no. To prevent such unbroadcastable situations from happening, I'm wearing a basic leather armor beneath and will wear a fullplate armor above.

If a pretty woman stripped, then any man would welcome it, but no one would like it even if Yu IlHan stripped. Although the world did nothing for him, he did not want to cause any damage to the world either.

"Nowadays, super rangers get interrupted in mid-transformation too."

[Is changing clothes considered transformation too?] (Spiera)

It was a really nostalgic line, but Yu IlHan decided not to retort. Somehow, Spiera was trying to spit out some old jokes....

"I'm doing this while staying still right now, but as I get used to it, I'm going to train until I can do this while running, jumping, swinging my weapon, shooting the pile bunker, embedding a pillar on the ground, being shot away, being shot into the water, and finally when I'm suddenly warped into space."

[That's already beyond human. Oh, sorry. You left the realm of humanity already.] (Erta)

Even though he was just learning to walk right now, he was somehow looking to resist spatial warps as he trained,

Instantly recognizing the state of his body, and transferring that to his brain, and taking off his armor and wearing a new one at the same time. Although this looked easy to do, it was only possible with absurd spatial recognition and thought process speed.

He thought that this training wouldn't just end with swapping his armor fast. Recognizing himself very accurately within a 3rd dimensional space would become of great help in wielding his inventory that was no different from a small world.

If he succeeded in recognizing himself perfectly, then his next objective would be other objects, then other people, and then the world. Although he wasn't utilizing his inventory's remote collection function, he shall do it in due time!

[Yu IlHan is making a creepy smile....] (Erta)

[It's alright. I'm already used to it.] (Liera)

The angels were speaking very rude things, but Yu IlHan ignored them all.

Everyone was complaining about the life in this closed space, but now that the end was near, they did their best to become even a little stronger. As if the 2nd Great Cataclysm would arrive just after this!

Yu IlHan was the same. As he moved around busily at a 1:3:4 ratio of metalworking:swapping:Great Cosmos-severing Spear training, when he was just about to perfect his armor swapping, there were less than 10 hours of the barrier duration left.

At that point, he was switching between several different armor while moving around violently on the spot, and it looked as if he was dancing in a nightclub.

"chcka-jug-jug chcka-jug-jug"1

"Dad is so cool!"

[That's bad for the child's education! Are you going to take responsibility if Mir's sense of humor becomes horrible?] (Erta)

Now that he became able to switch armors during a techno-dance, Yu IlHan decided to finish off his swapping training session.

Returning the disappointed Mir to his magic training session, he was thinking about what else to prepare to be praised as perfect when he thought of something, which was the accessories.

There were a total of four accessories in Yu IlHan's equipments, and excluding the Rapid Lightning storm's Gold leather bracelet, which was unique ranked, the rest was a low rare rank that increased his mana recovery speed by 10%.

Until now, he used mana potions whenever he ran out, but he was almost running out of the mana potions he acquired from killing the 4th class mage. In this situation where the only mana potion he could make was Breath, mana recovery ability was a big problem.

"How many accessories can I wear right now?"

He opened the plastic bag where he gathered the bits and pieces left over from his metalworking and melted them down with the power of the Eternal Flame as he confirmed with the angels. Liera scanned his body and came to a calculation.

[5 at most? is what you can endure.] (Liera)

[Isn't 4 the highest he can do without any clashes?] (Erta)

2 (Spiera)

Liera and Spiera said 5, and Erta, 4. Yu IlHan decided to put away all other accessories than the Gold leather bracelet, and decided to make 4 more accessories.

He could just throw away one if he felt that 5 of them clashed.

[I want to see IlHan wearing an earring!] (Liera)

[A necklace is the best since it doesn't disturb you when wearing armor. Since you're wearing the Gold leather bracelet, it would also be good if you make another bracelet for your other wrist.] (Erta)

Up until here, were very normal comments. 2 earrings, 1 necklace, and 1 bracelet added up to 5 too.

However, the angels' delusions didn't stop there and amplified.

[Isn't piercing all about the tongue? Although I prefer formal attire nowadays, in the past....] (Spiera)

[Ah, I think one on the belly button would be sexy too.] (Liera)

[On Yu IlHan? Hm, Hmmmm...I think the lips would be the most charming. How about a lip piercing?] (Erta)

"There there. Please talk about the rest to the Masai tribal chief."

Yu IlHan's mental limit was the ears. Ignoring the angels' pouting silent protests, he poured the molten metal into the cast and solidified them.

Then, he took out a carving knife and started crafting carefully, and as he was making this from dragon bones, he carved out dragons on the earrings, the necklace and the bracelet. The dragons in hell would all rejoice.

Perhaps due to having got used to crafting while working on the Traps of Destruction, the work ended quite quickly. two earrings, one bracelet, and one necklace was finished, and the only thing left was mana crafting.

"I think I should save up on the 4th class magic stones."

[Don't you still have around 20 of them excluding the ones you've used up?] (Erta)

"They will all have their uses, later. All of them."

Muttering a very suspicious line, Yu IlHan took out a 3rd class magic stone and grabbed it on one hand. As the materials were dragon bones, the limit of mana absorption was very high and he had to consume more than 3 magic stones for each accessory.

[Destruction-preventing Swift Cursed dragon Earring was completed.]

As dragon bones were near OP level as materials, and had great affinity with dragonkin magic stones, the results were splendid.

The bracelet came out with options to increase mana recovery speed by 20% and to absorb enemy attack magic a little, and the two earrings also came out as a unique ranked accessories with incredible options such as 25% increase in mana recovery and 30% increase in curse and poison resistance respectively.

And in the case of the necklace, a 30% increase in mana recovery option and enemy attack magic absorption were attached. At this point, Erta tilted her head and suggested to Yu IlHan.

[Why don't you throw away the Gold leather bracelet and make a new accessory?] (Erta)

"No, I can't give up on the lightning blade storm."

[You haven't even used it once properly....] (Erta)

[Don't fight and just extract it.] (Liera)

"...Should I?"

Liera's suggestion to extract the options with a 3rd class magic stone and mana craft it into a bracelet made of dragon materials along with other 3rd class magic stones, came back with an awesome result.

This was the result that came up when he extracted the options in the Gold leather bracelet and mana crafted it onto a bracelet he made with the scales of a dragon that wielded lightning magic, along with two more 3rd class magic stones:

[Lightning god's wrathful Lightspeed Dragonic bracelet]

[Rank – Legend]

[User restrictions – Dragon Slayer]

[Durability – 3,200/3,200]

[Options-

1. Stores mana by absorbing mana from the surroundings and can generate a mid-scale lightning storm with the user as the center. Can store up to 3 times worth of mana, and can release all of the mana at once to generate a large-scale storm. When hit by an enemy's magic, it can steal a considerable amount of mana from it and store it, and in the case of lightning magic, more than 50% will be absorbed.

2. 40% increase in mana recovery speed.

3. 30% increase in mana utility speed.]

He was now a step closer to his dream of a lightning blade storm.

"Oh my."

[That's another treasure that looks like it is from Heaven's Army's treasury...] (Erta)

The moment Yu IlHan confirmed the options on his bracelet, he started making a new bracelet immediately. Of course, with the dragon scales he used just now to make that bracelet!

"It will be a jackpot even if I get the same mana recovery and utility speed!'

[And your true intentions?] (Erta)

"Now is the time for my dream of a Double Thunderstorm!"

Leaking his childish desire without holding back, Yu IlHan sped up the process! Dreaming of himself sweeping monsters with lightning storms, he consumed 3rd class magic stones without holding back and mana crafted. The blinding light made him predict of its outcome.

The light receded, and the completed bracelet was now placed in Yu IlHan's two eyes. The bracelet that has more power than before! Green text rolled up on Yu IlHan's retina.

[Frenzied and Leisurely Lightning ruler's Dragonic bracelet was completed.]

[Frenzied and Leisurely Lightning ruler's Dragonic bracelet]

[Rank – Legend]

[User Restrictions – 3rd class Lightning-class mage. Level 60 or higher in advanced lightning magic. Magic stat 350 or higher]

[Durability – 3,800/3,800]

[Options –

1. 20% increase in attack power and attack range of lightning magic. 50% increase in lightning attribute resistance.

2. 30% increase in mana recovery speed, and 30% increase in magic incantation speed.

3. Can turn and control mana into high concentration, high efficiency lightning.]

[One of the miracles that the a blacksmith made on his path to becoming a legend. Only the highly trained among the lightning wielders will be able to bring out the power of this accessory.]

Bullshit 'success'. It was another pie in the sky.

"Hey, since everyone's reincarnating, even the pie in the sky did!"

[Be honest. You didn't major in business management but in banter at university, right?] (Erta)

"I was about to go to uni but everyone suddenly disappeared so I couldn't, duh."

Not to mention lightning class mage, there was no mage at all in Yu IlHan's team. He asked the elves since there were a few mages he remembered amongst them, but it seemed there were none that wielded lightning magic.

Yu IlHan laughed in vain and threw the artifact inside his inventory. Now that thing was useless. He could only sell it to Kang MiRae at a high price.

[It seems that woman won't be able to pay her debt for her entire lifetime....] (Erta)

[Her eyes looked out of the ordinary last time, but what do I do if she suddenly says 'I will pay it back using my entire life'? Should I decide what to do after snapping her legs first?] (Liera)

[Sometimes, I really wonder how you managed to stay as an angel, Liera] (Erta)

Yu IlHan produced several bracelets in his wish for another bracelet with the same options, and did so in the completely same manner as he made the other one, but all 12 of the bracelets were just ordinary 'unique' ranked bracelets with 25% increase in mana recovery speed and other trivial options.

Meaning, he had to give up on the Double Thunderstorm.

"Wai kan I not be happie! Waiiiiiii!" (PR: He's throwing a tantrum….)

[It's not like legend ranked artifacts pop out all the time.] (Liera)

[In fact, active options such as the lightning storm are not that common. It is also why Liera recommended you to extract the option too.] (Erta)

"...I know…. I feel like I just placed 12 locks on my house even though it was robbed of everything."

Now that it came to this, Yu IlHan decided to distribute the bracelets to his subordinates, 2 each. Of course, his subordinates were flabbergasted with his 'bestowal'.

Although the second option were different for all of them, as all of them had 25% increase in mana recovery speed, with this distribution, all of Yu IlHan's subordinates now got a 50% boost in mana recovery speed.

"Now that it came to this, I should just make them accessories too."

[It's not easy to find work like this too…..] (Liera)

Unlike Yu IlHan, the maximum number of accessories for his subordinates was 4. Receiving their request, Yu IlHan created their accessories.

The elves all wanted an earring and a ring each as if they consulted beforehand, and Ericia asked for two earrings that could stay on even when she transformed into a wolf, and Yumir also wanted two earrings.

After all the crafting process was over, only 3 minutes were left of the barrier duration.

"Ah, that's satisfying. I should wash up and sleep now."

[You sound like a housewife who just finished cleaning.] (Erta)

Yu IlHan dispelled the barrier after confirming that all his subordinates had finished what they were doing. The world started spinning again without even knowing that Yu IlHan and co stopped time for two months.

"Today is a complete holiday, so do whatever you want, whether it's sleeping or going out. However, do resolve yourselves since tomorrow onwards will be busy."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Thank you, master!"

Replied the elves and Ericia.

However, would they go to gangnam and drink some soju when they knew nothing? They all followed Yu IlHan in order to sleep. Feeling like a mother duck leading her ducklings, Yu IlHan left the building.

"Ah."

"How can this be."

They were completely fine when they were inside the workshop which was unchanging even as time passed, but now that they came out, they felt the disjunction seeing the humans finally moving.

"So time truly did stop...Master is amazing."

"It's not my power but from an artifact so relax your eyes right now."

As they weren't Yu IlHan who suffered for a millennium in a stopped Earth, they looked very discomfortable with 2 months of disjunction. Yu IlHan couldn't comprehend them and tilted his head, and Yumir, who was the only intact one amongst his subordinates, imitated him.

"It's better if you give up on understanding. Just accept it as it is."

"Your Majesty is amazing!"

As Mirey's eyes were out of focus as she said that, Yu IlHan took them to the apartment and made them sleep. In situations like these, alcohol was not the cure, but sleep was. They would be fine after a good rest.

Yu IlHan washed up with Yumir and played around while lazing around. They played a PvP game when the angels kicked in, so he surfed on the web after leaving them to play.

"Although nothing much should have happened since not much time passed... Oh the latest news. An unknown island country in South America was destroyed again. Although, this is also a prediction since all satellites are now broken."

[Since it gets harder and harder as monsters rampage more, the weak humans can only die even if they gather up. It's an unfortunate thing... Ah.] (Erta)

Erta, who was weak at physical stuff unlike the other angels, lost against them quickly and came to Yu IlHan's side.

Was it due to not playing the game? She was also the quickest among the three to gather information from angel network.

[Yu IlHan. I think there's another connection with an Abandoned World?] (Erta)

"Again? They simply won't give me the time to rest."

[Huh? You're right! Counting with Earth time, not even 10 days passed since the incident with Kiroa! ….. Oh dang, I lost!] (Liera)

Liera, who reacted the second fastest to the urgent news on the angel network, lost against Spiera in the car race. Meanwhile, Spiera, who kept her cool in whatever environment she was in, and won the game, turned off the game and spoke.

[Wasn't this already prophesied? What the Destruction Demon Army said to you should not be a lie. Now that Earth is turning very extreme, it will be instead easier for you if you think that there will be at least twice more of such incidents until the 2nd Great Cataclysm. Of course, there would be no worlds with overwhelming battle power like Dareu.] (Spiera)

"And? What if the 2nd Great Cataclysm happens?"

[There will be even more connections. I really shouldn't boast about this, but there are many Abandoned Worlds that Heaven could not protect. Well then, it's about time to leave.] (Spiera)

Said Spiera while turning off the game console and putting it deep inside the drawer just in case Liera wanted to play again. However, Yu IlHan did not give her the answer she wanted.

"...Somehow, this stinks."

"Dad, I didn't fart!"

"Mir's fart doesn't stink. What I meant by stinks is something else."

Yu IlHan's eyes flashed. Erta thought that 'what should come has come' after seeing his eyes. Whenever he had those eyes, Yu IlHan said nonsensical stuff, but frustratingly, his nonsense always came true!

"Hey, angels."

Like a psychic, Yu IlHan asked.

"Do the higher existences work together between groups too?"

This chapter is quite long, right? I put more story since there's a lot of item descriptions, so such a disaster happened…. hahahaha

Yu IlHan finally suspects the incidents, there's only one truth!

The declaration from a higher existence belonging to the Destruction Demon Army, and the connections to other worlds one after the other was proving the statement.

Yu IlHan consulted Kang MiRae about this, and she, with her exceptional abilities had informed the other ability user groups of Earth.

Moreover, as all of them experienced the absurd amount of monsters from Kiroa, literally all ability users agreed to participate if such a thing happened again. Even if it was to acquire Vanguard higher standard weapons, at least they would still do so.

However, Yu IlHan was worried about that. He didn't like the fact that humanity, in its entirety, was focused on one incident.

This situation, where all ability users and governments flew at these incidents like dogs at a bone.

"While we're focusing on Abandoned Worlds, wouldn't some people plot something?"

[What I'm getting from you is that you think the Destruction Demon Army can connect Earth with Abandoned Worlds as they wish?] (Erta)

"I don't think they're that capable. If they were, then Earth would have been doomed long time ago. What I want to say is that they have a restricted power. For convenience let's name it 'Open Gate'."

For example, they perhaps might be able to use 'Open Gate' to delay or bring forward the time of the connection, or perhaps they might be able to know beforehand when and where the connection happens.

[That's plenty horrible.] (Erta)

[But now it sounds a whole lot more plausible. Although it's frustrating to say this, the ruler of the Destruction Demon Army has a considerably amazing ability.] (Liera)

"And only when presuming that our enemy has 'Open Gate', does the possibility of working together between groups becomes possible. 'Open Gate' only becomes worth it under one precondition."

Spiera received his words. Her voice was now starting heat up as well.

[A spy that can relay essential information real-time.] (Spiera)

"Yes. And a spy that has a grasp on the situation on the people who are quite capable, including me."

Yes. If Destruction Demon Army were not aware of the situation on the ability users of Earth, then they would not be able to react so calmly. And potential spies were right in front of Yu IlHan as well.

In front of the 3 angels, Yu IlHan calmly declared.

"There are spies among the guardian angels attached to the ability users. And I said that in plural."

[We have predicted that much. However, never did I think that they were cooperating with the Destruction Demon Army.] (Spiera)

Just what was their objective? Destruction Demon Army's dogma, 'Pure Destruction', should not be comfortable to the traitors from the Army of Brilliant Light, either! And why is the Destruction Demon Army following their will anyway!] (Spiera)

Spiera fell into confusion and spat out lots of nonsense. Yu IlHan bitterly smiled and calmed her down.

"All of this is just my estimation. There are plenty of unnatural points about it. Don't believe my words unconditionally. It will be fine to look for the reason after the truth is revealed."

[I think your words are right, though.] (Spiera)

[I do not doubt it one bit. 100%] (Erta)

[At this point, I'm wondering if the world revolves according to IlHan's words.] (Liera)

"Good, then let's move under the pretext that I'm right."

Leaving aside all, there was one sure thing.

"Whether it's the Destruction Demon Army or the Army of Brilliant Light that is behind this, there should be some kind of group that are directing the people's attention to the Abandoned Worlds. And my objective is to find that and destroy it."

[That sounds very dangerous. That means you are not going to prevent the connection with Abandoned Worlds.] (Liera)

[If you are wrong, you might be at a point of no return.] (Erta)

"It's alright. I prepared some things just in case something like this happened, while I was in the barrier... And so, Erta, why don't you do some delivery?"

Delivery, huh. Erta realized that someone could actually make a higher existence nervous with a single word, but she could only nod at Yu IlHan's smile.

Erta put the 'various items' that took one tenth of Yu IlHan's inventory into hers, and flew away. As he had told them to move around in secret while not being found by the other angels as all of them were potential spies, she would probably be alright.

Yu IlHan then woke up the sleeping Ericia and ordered her to bring the strong wolves over level 180 over to Earth.

Although he would have to take the risks, this situation was also the biggest opportunity for them to be accepted on Earth. Above all, they could not go against Yu IlHan's orders, so they had to do what they were told to do.

Ericia, who was aware of that fact, made a disappointed expression momentarily, but still accepted his orders and left.

As she was carrying unique ranked claws to be equipped on wolf elite force, the army under her lead would be able to achieve considerable things.

Finally, Yu IlHan woke up the elves and ordered them after explaining to them the situation.

"You guys go and fight too. Hide your identities properly, and above all, the most important thing is safety. When you go to the battlefield, meet up with Erta, and leave as soon as you determine that the situation is becoming dangerous."

"As long as I have the artifact Your Majesty has bestowed upon me, I have the confidence to survive against 4th classes."

"Do not be confident of anything either."

"Yes!"

Ordered Yu IlHan to the elves, and after that he pondered for a long time, but in the end, he put down Yumir on the floor and met his eyes.

"What does Mir want to do?"

"I want to fight and get stronger!"

Yumir was still in shounen-manga protagonist mode. Normally, Yu IlHan would laugh and embrace him, but it was a little different now. Yu IlHan couldn't accompany him to that battlefield.

"In that place, dad won't be there, so I can't protect you. Of course, since I won't be there, there will be more opportunities for you to fight... but do you really want to go and fight?"

"Yeah! I want to become stronger!"

He did ponder about this since he knew that it would come to this. However... Yu IlHan decided to leave them to take care of those incidents as he believed in the talents of the elves, Erta, and most importantly, his son.

"Very well. However, do not participate in incidents that may endanger your life. And keep yourself concealed as much as possible. Promise me, okay?"

"Yeah, promise!"

Smiling brightly, Yumir pinky-promised with Yu IlHan. Yu IlHan was still worried and so, put a sturdy dragon bone helmet on his head, and equipped him a chest protector made of dragon bones. Continuing, he gave him some Breath, and gave the remaining mana potions to him as well.

[So you've made a helmet. But why is there no armor, when there's a chest protector?] (Spiera)

"He'll advance to 3rd class soon, so he will be hurt if he's wearing armor at that moment. I made the helmet while considering his growth so that's fine."

[I don't get whether you cherish your son or not.] (Spiera)

The elves gathered with one intention after looking at Yu IlHan taking out various things for Yumir.

"We will protect Mir-nim with our lives!"

"Even if I have to sacrifice my soul, I'll definitely protect the Imperial Prince!"

Of course, retorting specialist Yu IlHan retorted to them as well.

"Cut the crap, and all of you must survive and come back. I'll exaggerate a little, but I don't care about whether other people die or not, so don't you guys dare die, got it?"

"Yes!"

"Dad, I'll be going!"

"Yes, mir. Don't get hurt."

And so, when the elves and Yumir left, silence arrived instantly.

Even though quite a lot of people were chatting inside the barrier made by the Hourglass of Eternity just a while ago, there were only two angels excluding Yu IlHan. He reminisced about his dropout period.

And Liera spoke to him.

[Now, out with your thoughts. There's no way you'd move without conviction, is there?] (Liera)

"I'm not really all that sure. Although, I think I know what they're aiming for."

[Doesn't the world call that 'conviction'?] (Spiera)

"Cowards always leave a way out in whatever claims they make."

In fact, Yu IlHan had already predicted to a certain point, what the Destruction Demon Army and the Army of Brilliant Light was trying to do by grouping up.

Isn't there something not related to Abandoned Worlds among the things that Yu IlHan had experienced until now?

[...Ah, now that I think about it, the first traitor appeared because he tried to bring an army from another world that had the 4th class mage! I forgot about it since it was all quiet after that!] (Liera)

"Now you remember?" 1

It was a secret that Yu IlHan had also forgot about it recently. Wasn't this all because of the Destruction Demon Army's scheme? Anyway, he thought it was fine since he remembered it before it was too late.

"That mage said something about conquering earth through war. I thought it was over by killing that mage, but what if it is happening now?"

[Directing everyone's eyes to Abandoned Worlds, and hiding the most vital gate connection, and calling an army from another world, right?] (Liera)

"Exactly."

While the humans of Earth desperately fought against the monster army that only aimed for destruction and were without ego, an army from another world would nibble away on Earth with conquering as their objective.

If it does become like that, then both the Destruction Demon Army's goal of calling destruction upon Earth, and the Army of Brilliant Light's goal of calling other world forces to Earth, would be achieved.

[So that's it. A connection with another world. That's definitely it. The Army of Brilliant Light wishes for an army of another world to rule Earth.] (Liera)

[Then why is that? Even while torturing and executing the traitors, I could not find out the reason. Just why do they wish to conquer Earth with humanity from another world? Do they want to play God?] (Spiera)

The answer to that was unknown. Why would she ask Yu IlHan if even torture didn't bring out an answer… Yu IlHan shrugged his shoulders and replied.

"That's not my concern. What's important is that I need to shred them to pieces before they eat Earth away."

[Is there a place you have in mind? Otherwise, you'd have to search over the entire Earth.] (Liera)

"Is there a place I have in mind? I do."

Yu IlHan put on the screen of his smartphone to where he was looking a while before. A line mentioning the destruction of a small country could be seen. Really, no one even commented on it.

Many of them would be interested more in the entertainment world news, and more of them would be interested in the big fight not too long ago, and even more of them would be more interested in Abandoned Worlds that spread out through the angels. It was now even more suspicious.

There were materials regarding what Kang MiRae investigated on as well. If there was an enemy that wished to invade Earth, Yu IlHan thought that now was the best time, since monsters were appearing everywhere and many Abandoned Worlds were being connected to Earth.

[Don't tell me the downfall of these small countries has something to do with it?] (Liera)

"If it's not then I can't help it. I can only wish that the internet would give me the answer."

Somehow, he remembered the time when he and Erta roamed around Seoul relying on his smartphone to look up where monsters appeared.

At that time too, Yu IlHan could somehow find the answer. He could save the people in places where his eyes could reach.

He wished that the same thing happened again.

A shorter chapter to compensate(?) for the previous one I guess…

Translator: Chamber

Proofreader: Koukouseidesu

South America, on the 'sea' to the Atlantic ocean, Yu IlHan was currently grumbling.

"If I find a traitor this time, give me a flying vehicle that's super strong and awesome."

[We don't build anything like that, since all of us angels can fly.] (Liera)

"Ugh! You really aren't helping."

The countries that Yu IlHan saw the need to go to were mostly island countries in South America. These countries were so small that their survival wasn't even of interest after the Great Cataclysm.

It would be fortunate if there was any news of their downfall, and there were numerous countries that disappeared without a sound. Yu IlHan also wouldn't have known if it was not for the information given by Kang MiRae.

At first, Yu IlHan was planning to conceal himself and take the plane, but he gave up after finding out that it took over 25 hours to Venezuela of South America even if he took the fastest train.

He had to give up meeting the beauties of Venezuela as well. And here, he was all looking forward to it since he saw beautiful women on magazines but not in person during his dropout period. Dammit!

[Good for you!] (Liera)

"Do all angels have mind-reading skills?"

And so, the method Yu IlHan chose was, as seen on the top, the 'sea'. By 'sea' it didn't mean refer to any ships or boats. They were even slower than planes.

Amazingly, Yu IlHan was currently running on top of water like the experts from wuxia novels. How? It was the combination of Superhuman strength and Leap skills, along with the remote collection function of his inventory to call out footholds… well, shields.

The process was very simple. First, he'd leap off the ground with all his power, and shoot through the air by using all the number of re-leaps available to him. Gaining speed through multiple re-leaps was easy with some practice.

Then, when he slowed down, he would transfer the weight of his inventory on himself to fall down towards the sea, and call out any kind of shield lying around in his inventory below him when he could see the sea surface, and use the shield as foothold to leap again, and the process repeats itself.

Like this, he could run an infinitely long distance without falling onto the sea. And at a speed that would leave Son*c behind in the dust!

The most important thing in this process was to collect the shield into his inventory. Although he looked a little off, in terms of speed, he was moving at 6 thousand kilometers per hour.

If a tuna suddenly flew up from the sea, then it would immediately disintegrate due to the collision with Yu IlHan. Yu IlHan was somehow looking forward to fresh tuna sushi while running at 6 thousand kilometers per hour, but unluckily nothing like that happened.

"But aren't I a little too uncool? There."

[You could just raise Mir and ride him.] (Liera)

"Rather than waiting for Mir's 4th class, it might be faster for humanity to invent hoverboards that run with magic stones. No..."

Just as he was replying, lightning struck inside his head.

"No, I can just make it myself!"

[I shouldn't have said that.] (Liera)

"How could I not think of that? Dammit, if I refer to the design I made last time, then I think I can make a vehicle...!"

However, it was too late to create something like that. Above all, as he was in the middle of the ocean, it was no environment to hammer on metals.

Then, it would be better to create a design by gathering the ideas in his head. Even while running on (strictly speaking, a little above) the sea at thousands of kilometers per hour, he took out a piece of paper from his inventory.

Well, rather than 'paper' it was closer to a piece of cloth, and it was a failed piece of cloth armor he made to wear underneath the leather armor, as it had no practical use. Anyway, it wouldn't lose out in terms of strength of a canvas. Although, he didn't want to compete with anything in that regard.

What he first of was what he mentioned just now: the hoverboard. The vehicle that lets a person fly through the skies.

However, thinking about it now, there was no meaning in making it into a vehicle. Not only was it inconvenient, it was inefficient as well.

"Vehicles have too much waste. I already have the leap skill, so to maximize it I should...."

[So you're making something like a paraglider.] (Liera)

"However, this is much more smart and powerful."

After a few pieces of cloth were dumped into the sea, what appeared on Yu IlHan's blueprint was a pair of wings made with metallic feathers. A beautiful pair of wings made of thousands of blades carved out delicately.

And on top of that, lines of text that even Liera and Spiera could not understand were being written. At first, they thought it was the language of Heaven, but it was actually a mixture of ancient elven language, and dragon tongue. This was a piece of art that only Yu IlHan could create as he had Language skill at max level.

Spiera exclaimed while seeing the metallic feathered wings, and the exquisite characters that decorated those wings.

[Truly beautiful. So you had talent in art too?]

"Yeah. I liked art. It was the time I could do things alone. Although I was alone all the time, only art represented the time that everyone else was alone as well. I had to fill the canvas without feeling lonely."

Having unintentionally stepped on a landmine, Spiera didn't know what to do. Looking at Liera who wanted to retort that the wings looked more aesthetic than pragmatic, but she refrained from doing so in fear of provoking Yu IlHan's negative feelings.

Above all.

[But what are you going to do about the robe if you are going to attach this on your back? ...Huh?] (Liera)

With those words, Liera checked on the robe on Yu IlHan's armor when she realized something. The scaly daggers attached onto the robe couldn't be seen anymore.

[What about the blade lightning storm...?] (Liera)

"Actually, I tried it once, but the lightning storm's power was too strong and the daggers couldn't endure it..."

As such, Yu IlHan had no choice but to let go of his dream of blade lightning storm. And he hadn't even used it once in battle! This was the greatest failure of his blacksmithing career.

"And so I decided to give new life to the daggers. Right now, Erta should be in the middle of delivering it."

There were two options on the daggers. The option to shoot out when receiving shock, and the option to come back to the original place. In fact, there was no better ammo to use in shooting weapons.

Yu IlHan made quite a few portable weapons that could maximize the efficiency of those two options. Rather than being a decoration on the robe, it would be better if they were used in monster extermination.

Since it could let an ordinary human kill a 3rd class monster, the effect would be large. Yu IlHan was curious about what those Destruction Demon soldiers' expressions would be when they encounter such a weapon.

"Moreover, if Miss MiRae's magic comes into play, this. kekeke."

[IlHan is making a cool expression again.] (Liera)

[I can see an island there. Although, it shouldn't be one of the countries that met their downfall.] (Spiera)

As he had ran in a straight line from Seoul to the Atlantic while ignoring land or sea, he could find an island near his destination in just 3 hours.

An archipelago in the Atlantic that could be called a group of small countries.

Among those, only a few were reported to be ruined. However, the people had abandoned the archipelago long before that, and now, they weren't even of interest.

Everyone knew that small scale islands would become dangerous as they learnt it while in other worlds, and the people with the luxury and money to move to other places had already left for large scale cities in escape of danger.

As such, the people remaining on the numerous islands had neither power nor courage to fight against the monsters, and they couldn't leave their habitats either as they had insufficient wealth.

People did not care even if monsters appeared on these islands, whether the monsters ate the people, or whether a dungeon break occurred and monsters conquered the islands.

Even though they had no intentions of saving them in the first place, people called them 'sacrifices' that occurred inevitably in the process of Earth advancing to a new stage. Although, Yu IlHan himself couldn't say anything since he did not think of them when he had acted.

And exactly because the environment was like this, it was the perfect place to hide from the view of the world and scheme things. Thinking about it, even if everyone's gazes were gathered on Abandoned Worlds, no one would be able to do anything in the middle of New York.

"Fuu."

Now was the time of the showdown. It was time to confirm whether his gut feeling was right or wrong. If he was wrong, then he would collapse in shock. Well, only after he rescued his son and his subordinates.

Yu IlHan raised his head and looked towards the front. It wasn't only his muscle power that surpassed a human's, his eyesight was as well. He could still examine the scenery of the island even though he was tens of kilometers away.

However, there was nothing on the coast of the island. No people, no animals, no monsters.

Although it looked peaceful on the outside, it was even more strange because of that. That was because traces of human civilization was still there. What that meant was that…

"Don't you think I should buy lottery?"

[I didn't think we'd meet them so soon...] (Liera)

…Yu IlHan hit the jackpot on the first try.

Feeling relieved for his predictions being right, and felt enraged at the fact that something annoying was happening on Earth, also, he was feeling worried about his subordinates that left to battle with Abandoned Worlds, all at once, Yu IlHan summoned a shield and kicked off it.

He strengthened his leg muscles with Superhuman Strength, he strengthened it further using mana, and using a total of four leaps and re-leaps, he produced an absolute speed, albeit momentarily.

"Be careful not to slip out of my embrace."

[Yeah, I'll grab onto you forever!] (Liera)

"Forever's too long."

Before smashing his head into the beach, he called out a shield in mid air and changed directions. As he couldn't use a metal detector in a place with nothing, he decided to scan the entire island.

[You might be faster than flying.] (Liera)

"I can fly!"1

On the day of the parting, he was flown back to korea with God's power, but now he was flying with his own ability. Of course, strictly speaking, it wasn't really flying!

[Found it.] (Spiera)

The first one to speak was Spiera.

[It's human presence. Tens of 2nd classes. They might be people of Earth but...] (Spiera)

[There shouldn't be any need for a 2nd class person of Earth to stay here right now. IlHan, I also found them. This way.] (Liera)

The moment Yu IlHan heard the report from the two angels, Yu IlHan urgently stopped and landed on the ground.

He lightly kicked off the ground and ran towards the direction they were pointing to. He could finally feel something as well.

People, presences of many people. He could hear some voices, and they weren't talking in any language of Earth, but Yu IlHan could understand them.

What that proved was that they weren't people of Earth. Max level Language skill helped out in trivial situations like this as well.

"Can we really gain and advantage with this method? I'm instead worried since everything worked out so well until now."

"Those damned angels don't lie at least. The commander is waiting so let's finish this off quick."

Counting people, there were exactly 29 2nd class humans wearing armor that were doing something. Yu IlHan understood after closing in on them, what they were doing…

"Heh."

And since the scene was very absurd, he ended up laughing.

"So the corpses of all those that died were here."

[That's material gathering for alchemy. In other words, for a special transformation technique that does not get found out with magic detection....] (Liera)

Liera closed her mouth just as she was about to continue. What Yu IlHan wanted wasn't explanation.

"Damn, it got ripped again."

"And here I told you to raise your dismantling skills. I won't care if you get a deduction in salary."

They were in the middle of of stripping the skin of people. Humans, were skinning other humans, using the skill, Dismantling.

He couldn't comprehend, nor did he want to. Even if he did, his actions wouldn't change.

The deathgod stepped forward with light in his eyes.

Death, fell upon them.

Author's notes

I heard Jun Ji-hyun would farm if she was in Venezuela. Is it true….? (T/N: I think this is something like there are too many beautiful women in Venezuela so Korean celebs would have to work as farmers, or smth…)

Liera's more proactive now due to there being so many rivals eh.

There should be more opportunities to talk about alchemy later on… (T/N: As far as I've read, I don't remember any alchemy…)

A shorter chapter to compensate(?) for the previous one I guess…

"Huh? Hey, look up....!"

"Kahk!"

It was already too late when they noticed. Even wolfkin, who boasted superior agility and reflexes among 3rd classes couldn't react, how would a weak 2nd class block Yu IlHan's spear throw?

From the moment Yu IlHan stepped forward, it took exactly 2 seconds for the situation to be cleaned up. Dragon bone spears weighing several hundred tons were dropped from above and crushed their heads, so there was no way mere 2nd class beings would be able to endure that.

"There are no survivors eh."

[They should have gathered them after killing them all.] (Liera)

[It hasn't even been 2 hours since their deaths. That means that their plan is underway right now. So we've managed to avoid the worst case scenario thanks to your intuition.] (Spiera)

Yu IlHan put all the corpses, including the victims and the culprits, into his inventory. It wasn't that he didn't want to bury them, but he decided to do it all at once after he sorted the situation out as it was quite urgent right now.

[IlHan. Are you alright?] (Liera)

"I'm alright. .....I really am."

[IlHan...] (Liera)

It wasn't like he had moved in the first place in order to save the people of Earth. It was even funny how the people of Earth were praising him. He himself thought that the premise of duty or justice was just a load of bullshit.

The future of mankind, the protection of Earth, and other things were all meaningless and annoying things to him. If he himself, his parents, Liera and Erta, the elves, Mir, and… ok, Ericia, Kang MiRae, and Spiera, were alright, he couldn't care less about the other people.

The reason he killed all the guys that were dangerous to Earth was also for himself as well. What was it to him if Destruction Demon Army decided to massacre ten billion people in some other universe and not Earth?

It was a problem since they were rampaging on Earth, where he lived. Until now, Yu IlHan never thought of killing his enemies as just cleaning up the trash in his yard.

But yes, right now, he felt disgusted. Not because of the fact that the dead were the people of Earth, or the people of another world, but at seeing a human skinning another human.

Monsters indeed do cannibalize, but that was not for that single entity, but for the entire race as a whole. However, what were these people doing? Aren't they literally worse than monsters?

'Can we really call ourselves the race that develops the world? We're pulling forward our own destruction.'

Perhaps some might retort, saying, that in their own world's point of view, they are the only 'humans', and the reason they invaded Earth, and the reason they killed and skinned the humans of Earth, was in order to make that exact 'mankind' prosper; and it wasn't, in any way, moving their own destruction schedule forward.

To these people, Yu IlHan would say this:

I'll destroy you myself.

"Let's hurry up a little."

Yu IlHan was quietly, and deeply enraged, as he resolved himsel. before saying just that to the angels as he left; like he had said, he sped up a little.

[You're going even faster than before!] (Liera)

[Hmm... You really are quite good] (Spiera)

Sucking on a cheerpack containing Breath, he deployed Superhuman strength, and leaped forward so strongly that his leg muscles were almost ripping apart. The power of Transcendent Regeneration was solely focused on his legs, and recovered the damaged muscles the moment they ripped apart.

It looked like he was at full speed on the sea last time, but it also seemed like it wasn't. If he wanted to be faster, he could still go faster.

Just with the will to run faster, he threw his body and heart into it. He left the angels to look at the surrounding to find any enemy, and he focused on running quickly.

[I can't that a 3rd class can reach this level of speed.] (Spiera)

[If you stay with IlHan for a while, then you might experience quite a lot of things like that.] (Liera)

As they were on a small island in an entire archipelago, there weren't that many people living in it, and as if they knew about that, there were very few invaders as well. However. Yu IlHan found two more groups belonging to the enemy, and found a group of preserved corpses on a ship.

Yu IlHan confirmed that there were no survivors among the people, killed the living invaders, and put them all inside his inventory.

It was good that he was done with processing the dragonkin from Dareu and the wolves from Kiroa continent. If he couldn't store all those bodies because of that, then he might have been a little annoyed.

[Would all islands around here be like this?] (Liera)

[If we were even the slight bit late, then it might have been at a point of no return.] (Spiera)

If one wore another person's skin using alchemy, then there would be no signs on the outside, and since it was not a transformation through magic, it couldn't be found out using mana detection. It would be easy to get found out if there were any acquaintances, but what if all those acquaintances were killed and someone else took their places? It would be a perfect crime.

What if the invaders conquered an entire country like this and hid themselves in that country while the ability users of Earth were fighting against Abandoned Worlds? What if they did not stop there and proliferated throughout the entire world?

Even if he found out that there were enemies in their midst then, they wouldn't be able to do anything. That was because they wouldn't know who was from Earth and who was from another world. Moreover, if the 2nd Great Cataclysm occurs at that time, they wouldn't be in a position to find the hidden other worlders.

In fact, he couldn't be so optimistic right now as well. It seemed that the invasion was currently progressing, but Yu IlHan did not know where the invasion had begun.

As such, what he could do was to clean up the scene of crime as soon as possible, and trace out the people who had already disguised themselves of their identity and kill them.

Tracing out the people who already put their heart into hiding themselves? If it was someone else, it might have been impossible, but for Yu IlHan, it was possible. He had the concealment that could hide himself from a higher existence if he willed it!

Yu IlHan hurried. Wishing that he wasn't too late; wishing, that he could turn this all back.

[IlHan, I can feel it here! This group is quite big....?] (Liera)

[Hundreds of 2nd classes, and there's a single 3rd class as well. Can you sense them?] (Spiera)

"I can feel them."

As he had expected, most of the island countries near South America were destroyed. If there were islands which had traces of incineration from burning the remains after skinning the corpses, there were some that were undergoing their plans like he had seen for the first time.

The place Yu IlHan stopped right now was also one of them. In a slightly wide dead angle zone between the buildings, an armored person that looked like the captain of a knight order, were leading hundreds of his subordinates into doing that disgusting work.

"Captain, do we have to be so careful?"

"We could just fight them head on. The people that came over to our world from Earth were weaklings too, weren't they? They only laughed at us since we couldn't harm them."

"Who told you to move your mouths and not your hands?"

"It can't be helped since it's orders from above. We don't have much time, so hurry up!"

It seemed that they had their own reasons. So that was it, Yu IlHan lightly nodded and waved his hand. five spears appeared above the 3rd class captain's head and fell straight down towards his helmet before destroying his entire body.

[You have earned 14,039,384 experience.]

[You have earned the record of Lv 134 Chromano Il Pedra.]

"C, captain!?"

"S, stop working! All of you stop working! The captain died in an ambush!"

Chaos ensued on the venue. This was the environment that Yu IlHan liked the most. He mercilessly poured spears down and killed them.

Against them, he didn't want to use any other methods either. WIth just his ability he had researched into in order to kill many enemies fast, he wanted to make them die in vain.

So that no one will know who killed them; so that they became so without achieving anything.

In just 30 minutes, Yu IlHan went through over 10 islands and killed 7 3rd classes and 2,900 2nd classes. It looked like nothing since Yu IlHan and Earth were abnormal, but in fact, this number would be an entire battalion in other worlds.

"However, this should only be the beginning."

At least in islands around here, there were no more traces of invaders. His heart ached at the fact that the islands became uninhabited since all the residents were killed, but unless some other army invaded, he would never come back here again.

If you ask, had they been decimated? The answer is no. Not only there was no person that looked responsible for this incident among the ones he killed, he had not found a gate connecting to another world either.

Since a connection was established with another world, it was clear that a traitor in Heaven's Army was behind this, but he couldn't find a single angel feather.

What that meant was very simple. This place is not the first place they appeared. The roots he had to pull out was in some other place; in a place nearby here.

Yu IlHan predicted that place to be Venezuela – it was the closest country to the archipelago. Ironically, what was the mid-stop if he went by the plane, had become the final destination.

Liera asked in a careful voice.

[What if it's not Venezuela?] (Liera)

"Then..."

Saying as if he didn't want to think about such a scenario, Yu IlHan threw a dragon bone shield that would become his foot hold, into the air.

"I will have to sweep through the entire South American continent."

***

When the ability users heard of another connection with an Abandoned World not long after the crisis of Kiroa, they became frightened. It was in New York City! And just outside the city at that!

The first one to find out about the dungeon was the clan master of 'Burning Soul' clan that belonged to the Front Line Alliance. As one of the ability users that was assigned a Guardian Angel to, he was a relatively good person that tried to help others.

Moreover, as he had the previous experience of defending against the wolves in Korea in cooperation with the Lightning God clan, he knew very well how annoying it was for a connection with an Abandoned World to appear.

"Shit, why is it in New York of all places…"

"It's as if they knew that there would be a lot of damage if an Abandoned World was connected to this place. Fuck...!"

As Yu IlHan had predicted, the people of Earth all focused their attention on New York. 'All' ability users confident in their ability headed to New York; if New York fell, then damage wouldn't stop with just America.

It was very different from the time an Abandoned World appeared in Gangnam of Korea. Whether it was the attention of the ability users, the military. or the media and other people of Earth.

Not only was the Korean incident only known just before the gate had exploded, Susanoo had quickly ended the incident, but this time, there was only some time left until the gate exploded.

The situation that occurred due to that, ironically, was similar to a festival. It was as if it was an Olympic or the World Cup, with many people gathering and cheering.

"Foolish people."

The clan master of Metal Knights, Michael Smithson, found it absurd that many people were setting up shops and causing uproars even though there wasn't much time until the gate would open.

"I think they're planning to run away to other worlds if the gate opens."

"Miss Malatesta... If that was possible for anyone, then there would be no humans done in by monsters on this Earth."

"Perhaps they are driving out their fear of monsters by causing uproars like this. Or, perhaps they want to watch us defending New York and defeating the enemies. Oh, you wanna eat?"

"Hmph, I'll gladly take it."

Looking at Michael Smithson biting on the hotdog that she gave him, the clan master of the Magia clan, Carina Malatesta, laughed. She found it cute that he accepted it.

Behind them, a Korean person approached, it was a member of the Lightning God clan.

"Have you been well, Mister Smithson, MIss Malatesta. Our clan master wishes to see you."

"The Lightning God clan? Miss Kang?"

Michael Smithson's expression brightened. Meanwhile, Carina Malatesta titled her head.

"Us two together? What would we two have in common? Is it about the battle? Let's go then."

"I do not know exactly. As I have an recognition-reduction artifact, we shall now move while avoiding the gazes of the people."

"Avoid the people"?

It wasn't just them. Clan masters belonging to the Front Line Alliance, and those among them that did not have Guardian angels, were called by Kang MiRae.

She gathered them unbeknownst to anyone, even including Na YuNa, who sacrificed her brother to hang out with her.

Above her shoulders, mini-sized Erta was floating. She had already hidden herself such that only Kang MiRae can see her.

"So everyone's here."

Her eyes glistened. Meanwhile, the clan masters that were still confused, requested for an explanation.

"Clan master of the Lightning God clan, I believe there is some time until the Dungeon Break. If you mean for us to go inside the dungeon and attack ourselves, then I refuse."

"Don't worry. I do not have any intentions of doing that in a country that is not mine. I only called everyone here because I have something to talk about to all of you."

Kang MiRae scanned the surroundings and gave a sign to Erta. Erta nodded her head and cast her magic. It was a high-class barrier so that no one would be able to recognize anything that happened within.

Confirming that the magic had been completely activated, Kang MiRae said in a firm voice.

"Susanoo won't be able to participate in this fight. He has other important matters to do."

That was enough for all clan masters gathered there to despair. However, before anyone asked why, she added on.

"Instead, a force under Susanoo decided to help us out, and we also have received special support from Vanguard. The reason I've called you all here is for that. I think there's too much for just my clan to use it alone."

"I'm curious of a lot of things about what you just said, but let me ask this first."

Takagaki Asuha of the Magic Dragon clan, asked. She had eyes as if she was about to fight against a dragon.

"Can we win with that?"

"Yes."

Answered Kang MiRae confidently.

"Even if there are thrice as many as enemies of that of Kiroa, we would be able to defend against them. As such, please listen to me carefully from now on. I have a reason to have called 'only' everyone here."

19 hours passed before the Dungeon Break occurred.

The largest scale battle of Earth, that raised the already-inflated value of Vanguard into the skies, and paved a path towards the heavens for a few chosen clans, had begun.

Author's notes

As there is no IlHan, I'm planning to keep the battle of Abandoned World vs Earth quite short.

Would IlHan be able to root out the source? Well, it would be the end if he couldn't so, he'd probably do well.

Proofreader: Koukouseidesu

Not long after that, Yu IlHan arrived in Venezuela. The city under the blue sky was bustling with people, and he could hear noisy chattering as well as people bargaining at shops.

He had come here in his dropout period, but ironically, it was even more strange now that he could feel life here.

"How can it be like this."

[Oh my god. That fruit vendor, the housewife that's purchasing goods from him, and even the vendor across the street ... They're almost all 2nd classes.] (Liera)

[Did they carry out an investigation before invading? It's as if they're performing a country-wide play.] (Spiera)

There were definitely people that did not disguise themselves using human skins in Venezuela. They were probably the usual tourists. However, they were joyfully buying apples from a 2nd class fruit vendor without the slightest bit of suspicion. Meaning that they did not notice anything out of the ordinary.

Yu IlHan felt frightened while looking at that scene. His imagination had turned into half-reality. They were trying to assimilate into Earth!"

[How about language? What are they doing about language?] (Liera)

[Artifacts, it's artifacts. How could this be... They didn't plan this out for just one or two days...!] (Spiera)

So such a thing was about to happen to China as well… If he couldn't prevent that, then what would have happened… He felt a frightening shiver all over his body.

The problem was that Venezuela was now in their hands. He couldn't even fathom how much their plans had progressed.

If there was one good thing, it was that they invaded an archipelago in the Atlantic. If they had devoured the entire South American continent, there wouldn't be a need to invade those small islands.

Yu ilHan thought about what he had to do in order to stop this invasion. Just how could he kill these people who devoured an entire country...

…when he realized one thing.

"Wait, I can differentiate them?"

[Not because their average level is higher than the tourists?] (Liera)

"No, it's not for such a simple reason. There are many high leveled tourists as well. I can somehow do it... aha."

Just as he was conversing with Liera, he succeeded in finding the answer.

"It's because I've acquired their records through killing thousands of them."

It was like that when killing dragonkin and dragons as well. Since he had killed so many of them, at some point, he knew what kind of dragon used what kind of power or what kind of weaknesses they had.

It was the same right now. Since he had killed so many of a specific world's residents continuously, he became to understand their characteristics and now could differentiate them; as if determining a type of a monster, or determining prey.

Even if they were using a special disguise that did not use magic, they could not deceive the Akashic Record.

"So, its like that…"

Yu IlHan smiled. Now that things became like this, all the moments of hesitation were meaningless. He was the one who was going to wipe them out anyway, so it would be enough for only he himself to be able to differentiate them!

To think wiping out the invaders in the archipelago would bring such results… He thought about this from the past, but he always seemed to have quite the luck at appropriate moments.

Moreover, they asked for this as well. From now, they'll compensate for their arrogance in deceiving the people of Earth.

[I didn't realize that it was possible to differentiate them with the Akashic Record.] (Spiera)

[Well, we did think that they were all the same humans. And there's not much opportunity to kill thousands of humans at once... Oh! I don't mean you're bad, IlHan!] (Liera)

"It's alright, I know."

Yu IlHan decided to not be ruled by the extremely ambiguous concept of good and evil. He just resolved to protect himself, to be true to his heart, and resolutely trudge on the path he had set his sights on. That was also the reason he could endure a millennium of solitude.

As such, even if what he was about to do now may look very evil, Yu IlHan wouldn't mind it so much.

"Kuaaak!"

"Kyaak!"

"What the hell is this?"

"Run….. Kahk!"

When people started dying, the market naturally fell into chaos. Everyone moved around in panic to protect themselves, and the panic of the tourists were even more.

"Wh, what the hell is this?"

"I remember this. Susanoo also used something like..."

"Fuck, the people are all dying!"

Many people escaped the place, but no one on Earth was faster than Yu IlHan. Moving around busily, he bestowed death upon all the other-worlders within his range.

"Save me!"

"Kyaak!"

When nothing else worked, they tried to mix in with the tourist group, but it was all useless. Yu IlHan's spears killed them in pinpoint.

It took less than 0.1 seconds from the time a dragon bone spear appeared in the air to the time it killed the enemy. If they weren't at least mid-level 3rd class, they wouldn't even be able to react properly. 1

"Fuck!"

At that point, they realized that something was wrong. Since they were found out before they proceeded onto the next stage, disguising themselves was now meaningless.

"Clean these up first!"

"Report to the higher-ups!"

As if this was all promised beforehand, they took out weapons they hid in one part of their bodies and tried to kill the tourists.

They were quite vicious, as they were trying to erase any evidence even when they were under attack. Perhaps, they hid themselves exactly in order to do that.

"Of course, Yu IlHan had predicted that already."

"Khaaaak!"

"Kahk!"

Although it was difficult for him to read all movements of all people in this wide area, most of it was resolved when he threw spears to whoever he saw.

Moreover, at this point, some of the tourists started noticing some things, so they tried to not move towards the residents.

"Fuck, just how can this be...!"

"Find the enemy! If rumors spread before we finish working, then it will be the end!"

All the survivors moved around busily. Some to find the enemy, some to report above, and some to escape this sudden calamity.

And one, to kill all these fuckers.

[Over a thousand died within 1 minute.] (Liera)

[It seems it isn't a single country that is involved in this. Unless they are a great empire that has power over an entire world, this is impossible.] (Spiera)

"Let's start moving now."

It took two hours for Yu IlHan to clean up the capital. As he had moved while decimating the other worlders in one spot, they couldn't even communicate with others, and were doing their duties in their own place. For Yu IlHan, this was very thankful.

He poured spears, killed the people, and collected them inside his inventory before moving. As if hammering away to make equipment, he repeated those movements.

That figure was akin to a machine rather than a human. This kind of unaesthetic and inhumane massacre was very bone-chilling.

Even Spiera, who did not care about what Yu IlHan was thinking, and only cared about Yu IlHan's ability, became slightly uncomfortable. However, Yu IlHan did not show any change in expression and repeated his actions.

Meanwhile, the surviving people, of Earth, were trying to upload things to their SNS while escaping the tragedy caused by Yu IlHan, but unfortunately, internet was down over all of Venezuela. There was no way the SNS was working.

"It's not working dammit! It's an important news about Susanoo massacring the people of Venezuela!"

"Shit, I need to tell this to the people of Earth!"

Really, they should just escape underground in the time they have time to do that, but these people really were hopeless. Looking at them, Spiera nodded seriously.

[I knew SNS was a waste of life.] (Spiera)

[Hah! Good for them.] (Liera)

"Hey, something collectively happened to you angels right? I won't laugh so please say it?"

The angels shut their mouths. Yu IlHan also gave up and continued 'cleaning'.

[Kuaaaaaak!]

[You! Earthling! It was you!]

Whether it was monsters or humans, 'thoughts' weren't left behind that often, but as Yu IlHan had killed so many, he acquired quite a lot of 'thoughts'.

As Yu IlHan was planning to kill all the other worlders that came to Earth, he didn't mind them that much, but after not being able to find their roots even though he had wiped out many cities of Venezuela, he stopped for a little.

"I should interrogate some people first."

The place Yu IlHan was in currently, was the largest state of Venezuela, Bolívar. He had killed almost all the other-worlders in cities he passed by until now.

If he could not find any path connecting to another world in Venezuela, he had to go over to Guyana, Brazil, or Columbia, but really, he didn't want to imagine such a situation.

Not only would it mean that damage had spread that far, the possibility of them surviving would become higher as well.

As such, now he needed to go to a specific place.

[Interrogate? How are you going to interrogate?] (Liera)

[Is it the power of a deathgod? I don't think you're a deathgod that rules and controls souls, though?] (Spiera)

Oh, so there were such deathgods as well, huh. Well, it should rather be said that a violent deathgod that burns lifeforce to make a flame was rare. Although he did learn Soul enchant from Reta Kar'iha's mutated soul, but it was just that.

"So you do not know yet. Skills are only the crystallization of human abilities."

[Of course we know that. Even though I look like this I lived several times lo... !@#$%] (Liera)

Liera covered her own mouth after blabbering on as if natural. However, just as Yu IlHan was about to pretend that nothing had happened, Spiera said a rather cruel line.

[Several times? Don't you mean, tens of times?] (Spiera)

[It's not, IT'S NOT! It really isn't!] (Liera)

Not minding about the super-mini war between angels, Yu IlHan did his own stuff.

[We have nothing to tell you!]

[We are just a portion. The great plan is already proceeding so someone like you will not be able to stop it!]

He did not mind about whatever the thoughts said. Yu IlHan alone wouldn't be able to do anything to them anyway. As such, he took out Eight-tailed dragon spear from his inventory and ordered.

"Orochi."

[Kroaaaaaaar!]

"It's meal time. First, let's eat them all and leave 20 behind."

[Krrrrrrrrraaaaar!]

Such was the beginning of soul interrogation.

[Don't you think you should call that 'preying'?] (Liera)

[So thoughts have their own world. That's deep...] (Liera)

Some of the thoughts that came with the lifeforce had some tenacity. They, were all eaten by Orochi, and seeing that, the remainder 'shook' in 'fear' of a second death even though they were just fragments of souls, and spat out information.

Yu IlHan, with his experience of gathering important information from numerous text, picked out all related information and completed a small fragment of truth.

"So the world you came from is Ferata."

[Ttttttttthat is so!]

With those words, Yu IlHan glanced at Liera and Spiera. The two nodded. They must be thinking about the angels working in Ferata. Of course, as they were not in contact with any angel on Earth right now, punishments would come later.

"From the time the people of Earth went over to Ferata, this was planned by the great empire Ferata Ma Kadra, and became possible after the Army of Brilliant Light contacted them."

[Y, yeees!]

"You were careful since you could open only one gate, and focused on Venezuela and its nearby islands first since you had to take root before the people focused on Abandoned Worlds were freed."

[Th, that is so! It has only been 3 days since the plan began operations on Earth. We have not secured any further territories than Venezuela....! If the 2nd class knights successfully place themselves, then the 1st class soldiers would come over and will take the skins of the countries beyond Venezuela. That was the plan!]

As if asking Siri, answer was immediate. Yu IlHan laughed with a 'fuu' and confirmed with them for one last time.

"So, where is the dungeon located?"

[The location that will not be found out by anyone, at the same time being placed in a convenient place to acquire Venezuela and its nearby islands... it's an underground dungeon located in the deep Atlantic.]

Looking at Spiera, Yu IlHan smirked.

"See my future prediction?"

[....This human is starting to get annoying...] (Spiera)

Yu IlHan invested two more hours to decimate all hidden Ferateans hiding in Venezuela and looked through all the small countries nearby, but he really couldn't find any more of them.

Although he moved as fast as possible, Venezuela was doomed with the exception of extremely small places. Yu IlHan couldn't save them. As such, he had to prevent the worse-case scenario.

Although he didn't know what kind of communication methods they used to the HQ, since hours had passed since their massacre, HQ would probably send reinforcements or do something of that sort.

Nothing good would come out of them knowing that Yu IlHan had massacred them all. He had to move right now.

Well, then. This was the start.

Now was the time to wipe out their base.

The power of the Akashic Record!

Angels are afraid of the SNS

Orochi got some screentime today.

Siri is the personal secretary program developed by Apple. I also have it on my IPad, but I never used it before...

Mass spear throws using remote collection is mostly used when cleaning out minor mobs. Although he can use it when facing higher levelled enemies, but that's just for support.

Sorry to all readers that reside in Venezuela….

The resistance ability is quite different from the definition of 'resistance' in the dictionary – thought Yu IlHan as he charged through the sea.

[Ahahahaha, this is more fun than running through the sky!] (Liera)

[Liera, you really don't change wherever you go.] (Spiera)

The armor Yu IlHan made, Chilly Blizzard tyrant's Mixed bone Fullplate armor, had relatively simple functions, perhaps due to the objective he had in mind when creating it. 90% increase in water attribute resistance, 50% increase in water attribute attack power, and controlling ice created from water.

Yu IlHan had decided that the ice manipulation option was OP after seeing the Legend tag attached to this armor. However, it wasn't. The most OP option was the 90% increase in water attribute resistance.

Like how high fire attribute resistance made him resistant to catching fire, when water attribute resistance was heightened, unimaginable things became possible.

Simply said, it became possible for him to breathe underwater, and he could move his limbs around easily without being affected by water pressure or resistance.

Moreover, he could even stay still without going down, and even shoot upwards if he willed it. Movement was very free. Adding leap and re-leap onto this, his speed couldn't be called just 'fast'.

[Run oppa run! Yay!] (Liera)

"How am I your oppa."

However, it was true that Yu IlHan felt better since he was rushing through the clear seas after hearing the sound of screams and death and smelling burnt corpses and blood.

If the Great Cataclysm hadn't happened, would Yu IlHan be able to appreciate this scenery with the help of a single set of armor? No, no way.

Not only that, he wouldn't have been able to run in the skies, nor would he have met Liera, Erta, and Mir.

He wished for such good things to happen in the future. As such, for now.

[IlHan?] (Liera)

"Oh, it's nothing."

Stopping thinking, Yu IlHan made a foothold by freezing ice underneath his feet and leapt by kicking off. This was the reason he could re-leap fast underwater. He could leap anytime he wanted to.

"There might be guys coming out of the dungeon right now. Please inspect the surroundings."

[I can see some underwater monsters. Well, they sure are higher leveled than those on the land. Although, they should be getting entrapped by the dungeons soon.] (Liera)

[However, there shouldn't have been a dungeon around here.] (Spiera)

[Yeah, I got no such reports either.] (Liera)

So they differed to Erta in such places, though he. If Erta was at a level where she had to look for information on dungeons she wanted, Liera and Spiera were clearly above and receive reports on all dungeons on Earth without the need to ask! Well, in fact, it was a rare for higher angels like them to contract with Yu IlHan as his guardian angel.

Although, nothing changed the fact that they were useless luggage.

As proof,

"Then is that thing over there not a dungeon but a black hole?"

[Dammit.] (Liera)

Yu IlHan abruptly stopped while charging through faster than a torpedo.

In the deepest part, right nearby a deep-sea trench, he found a swirling black current.

[So there really was one. Even though oceanic dungeons should be under strict supervision as sea monsters are harder to manage than land ones...!] (Spiera)

"Hah! It's so 'strict', yeah, I know."

He'd rather believe in what the Destruction Demon Army was saying rather than believe in those belonging to Heaven. Ignoring the grumbling Liera and Spiera, Yu IlHan approached the gate.

Coincidentally, the gate suddenly shined and spat out tens of people at that moment. They were all wearing transparent, spherical helmets and looked like astronauts.

[We will be going to Brazil. According to the information from the Alliance, they are predicting that it won't take a lot of time to block Lepido since the human's side is strong, so we need to move faster than planned.]

[Yes sir!]

[Follow the captain!]

Their voices sounded weird because of the helmet, but summing things up, it seemed that's how they communicated. It also seemed that they did not know that the ones on land were already wiped out.

[Or that they don't have any method of communication in the first place.] (Liera)

[Or that they could not confirm since it wasn't the time for regular communication.] (Spiera)

Whatever the reason, it was a good thing that they did not know of his existence. Yu IlHan saw that more number of enemies were coming out from the gate and waited for all of them to come out. Although hundreds had already come out, the gate was still spitting out more.

"Since we're in water, it will be hard to use my remote collection divine attack."

[Yes, it seems so... wait, divine attack?] (Liera)

"It's a technical term, otherwise known as spamming."

With that single ability, he could solve whatever problems he encountered, and defeat the enemy while he was at full health, but the disadvantage was that he would receive insults from the opponent player since it wasn't considered good manners. To Yu IlHan, remote collection was like that.

Of course, in this situation, he couldn't use that divine attack, but he had coincidentally prepared a massacre inclined weapon that could be use under the sea.

Yu IlHan held his spear on one hand, and froze some ice around him and rotated them. Perhaps due to them being of the water attribute, the ice bullets were spinning naturally in the water.

They were smaller than bullets used in pistols, but were harder and sharper, and even faster than them. This was enough – thought he as he moved forwards slowly.

The number of bullets around Yu IlHan continued to increase. As it did not require any mana to sustain and control them once he made them into ice, he was making a constant amount so that his mana recovery speed equalled his consumption speed, but even then, he could generate them rapidly.

Hundreds of ice bullets surrounded Yu IlHan, akin to the arrangement of the stars in the milky way.

An end came to the what seemed like endless dispatches from the gate. It was a battalion numbering thousands. The strongest one among them looked to be around the late levels of 3rd class, and also had the shiniest armor among them.

However, he also looked like an idiot for wearing the same helmet as everyone else.

[Squad 14 ready!]

[Same for squad 15!]

[Good, let's show our power as the proud extermination battalion of Kadra Empire!]

"In the next world, yeah."

Yu IlHan retorted to the commander's words as he swung his spear. The Eight-tailed dragon spear that drew a clean trajectory in the sea as if it was in the air, smashed apart the commander's helmet and embedded itself deep into his body, and the Blaze of Untraceable trajectory severed his neck cleanly and followed the spear like a shadow.

That, was an absurd technique. Before the first trajectory ended, the second followed and fused to become a single one! What looked closer to magic than martial arts was an attack that deceived not only Yu IlHan himself, but the world around him as well.

Yu IlHan's concealment did not wear off, and the victim did not even know how he met death as he died in vain.

[You have earned 62,013,553 experience.]

[You have earned the record of Lv 178 Jiëis Il Turodra.]

[Fuck!]

[Th, the commander, he!]

Watching the head of the commander floating up in the water, the army fell into an uncontrollable uproar. The squad captains right beneath the commander tried to lead them, but their necks were severed one by one as well and more chaos ensued.

[Someone's here! Shit, someone that's not a monster!]

[Don't tell me the plan…..!]

Some dispersed their mana to find the culprit, and some raised their swords and shields in order to defend, while some, showed some clever movement in this chaos.

They were trying to move back to the gate at a relatively fast speed considering that they were underwater.

[Critical Hit!]

However, right at the moment they were about to go inside the gate. a cloud of ice bullets that filled the sea made them into beehives. Tens died in an instant, and twice as many died in the next.

[Kahak!]

[Whah….. Ice!?]

In the first place, the reason Yu IlHan had made the ice bullets was in order to not let any of them escape. So there was no way he'd let any of them return through the gate!

[A, avoid them! It's magic!]

[Just where the hell is the mage... shit! Find him!]

"Look for me all your life."

The ice bullets made by Yu IlHan's power was very strong in itself, and as it was enhanced by the 50% increase in water attribute attack, normal 2nd classes died in a single strike. Of course, the power would be a lot less than the rain of spears, but that could be compensated for with quantity!

[Kahk.]

[Kuhuuk...!]

Unless he took off his armor, Yu IlHan could be called the ruler of the seas. Perhaps a dragon that can manipulate ice and water could do this?

Hundreds, and thousands of ice bullets did not lose their power after killing the enemies and proceeded to kill even more. Enemies that were routed were easier to kill than the still ones. Yu IlHan manipulated the bullets while thinking that he was a master sniper, but in fact, he looked more like a conductor that lead the ice bullets.

[Don't get frightened by magic at this level! We can just slash them apart after seeing their trajectories!]

However, there were always some that had zero sense in reading the mood. He should have just waited for his turn to come, but these slightly higher levelled ones swam forward as if they were the ones who could break through this situation.

They kicked aside the corpses of their subordinates or colleagues that were killed by the bullet rain, and acted as if they were slashing apart the bullets. Of course, Yu IlHan didn't send any bullets to those that looked like he couldn't kill in one go.

Instead, he ended them himself.

[You have earned 3,985,301 experience.]

[You have earned the record of Lv 101 Kut'sach Yi Zeta.]

"That's one strange name."

The most important thing in keeping the deathgod skill active was keeping the concealment. He had to kill enemies in a single attack in order for his concealment to not wear off.

As he was aware of this fact, Yu IlHan sent the ice bullets to only the weaker ones while he himself executed the higher levelled knights that have acquired 3rd class while moving around fast in the water using leap and re-leap.

[I don't know who you are and where you are from, but our Kadra empire shall...!]

"Yes, yes. Thanks for the death flag."

It didn't even take two minutes for the tens of 3rd class beings within the thousands of people that exited the gate to die. Meanwhile, the ice bullets kept moving around, and everyone that exited the gate was killed within 20 minutes.

Confirming the deaths of the enemies again and again, Yu IlHan proceeded inside the gate. Of course, as this was a deep sea dungeon, it was still a underwater inside the dungeon.

Inside, he could see fish shaped monsters from time to time, but it seemed like there weren't many since they were wiped out by the Kadra empire. Well, that wasn't that important to Yu IlHan anyway. It wasn't like he had come here to hunt monsters.

"Although that huge tuna-like monster really tugs my mind, let's eat him later."

Yu IlHan moved at absurd speeds even inside the dungeon using leap and re-leap, but even that ended not long after. Yu IlHan's speed was too fast and he found it already;

with 'it' referring to the gate connecting to Ferata.

[IlHan, from here, you have a choice.] (Liera)

Just as he was about to enter the gate without hesitation, Liera spoke.

[You've killed all the people that went through the gate, haven't you? So now, if we just close the gate, there will be no further dangers for the moment.] (Liera)

"That's not enough. That world already has an experience of being connected with Earth. If I was weak, then I would stop at this point, but not now. They can make and go through the gate again at any time."

[However, beyond this gate, is an entire world. And those that are breathing, and will be exclusive towards an outsider like you.] (Liera)

It seemed Liera was worried about him. He had the confidence to survive against anyone and any group. It would be a little frightening if he met a higher existence, but at that point, wouldn't the Angel's support skill activate?

Of course, there was one thing he was worried about. There was one sure-fire method that could exile him from Earth if he went through this gate. 1

It was also the reason why Yu IlHan brought two angels here.

"Spiera, please."

[Leave it to me.] (Spiera)

Spiera escaped his grasp and expanded to her original size. Her figure holding a pure-white spear on her hand looked very handsome.

[None shall pass this gate until you come back.] (Spiera)

"I'll leave it to you."

[Oh, I can't stop a lower existence from passing the gate though.] (Spiera)

"Thanks for lowering my expectations instantly. Although, it should be enough stopping the traitors."

He exchanged a short glance with Spiera and turned around. In front of his eyes was a swirling gate.

[IlHan. Are you really going to go] (Liera)

"Don't worry. It will be over soon."

Yu IlHan smiled as he set foot inside the gate.

"I will end it soon."
