131 - 136

When he entered the gate, the surrounds transitioned to a wide grassland with fresh air. What was particularly impressive was the fact that there were two suns in the sky.

He did feel a little strange, having been instantly warped from underwater to above water, but at this point, nothing could really surprise Yu IlHan.

In any case, the place he was on was on flat ground, so Yu IlHan lightly shook his body before swapping his armor. The change was lighting quick (P/R Even faster than grilling beans with lightning), so Liera, who was staring at him, clicked her tongue.

[You should really show off a little.] (Liera)

"I have leather armor underneath anyway, didn't I say that before?"

Confirming that his armor was equipped correctly on every part of his body, he tied his boots again and looked around.

Behind him was the gate that was connected to the undersea dungeon of Earth, and besides it were mages that managed the gate on either side.

Around 20 meters away from Yu IlHan, there was a copy-paste version of the army battalion that Yu IlHan had just wiped out.

What this meant was that Yu IlHan had took off his armor and changed it to a new one in a blink of an eye in front of all these people. Of course, they could not see Yu IlHan as he was in concealment. The venue was silent under strict order.

"From how I can see the castle wall over there, this place should be some kinda garden in the inner castle?"

[Wouldn't it be more secretive? Wow, this place is so high. Don't you think it will be a downhill trip if we go beyond that castle wall?] (Liera)

Yu IlHan, who looked around as if he had come here for camping, estimated his location before stretching his body. As he had seen all the things he needed to, only action was left.

"Those mages..."

[You can kill them. I can re-establish a connection as long as the initial connection is set up.] (Liera)

"Got it."

When Yu IlHan flicked his fingers, the bodies of the mages instantly exploded. To be exact, their bodies were instantly squashed with thousand-tonne heavy spears.

"Kyaaaaak!"

"Wh, what the hell!"

"Everyone calm down! I said calm down!"

Looking at the exploding bodies of the mages that managed the gate, chaos ensued.

Chaos, it was a word that Yu IlHan loved the most; he became the strongest in such times.

This time was no exception.

[You have earned 6,201,293 experience.]

[You have earned 10,291,343…]

[You have…]

Well, as there were many people in this place, there were quite a few 3rd class ones as well. Yu IlHan also took out his throwing spears to massacre the army unlike the time he was in the sea.

It wasn't just his throwing spears. Yu IlHan himself also picked out the ones he could not kill with throwing spears alone and killed them.

However, what he took out in order to do that was not a spear, but a whip. A black whip with dragon leather as the base, and had ground dragon scales embedded inside!

[Insanely Passionate Spiked Black dragon whip]

[Rank – Legend]

[Attack power – 6,200]

[Durability 7,200/7,200]

[Options-

1. 40% increase in attack speed, and inflicts a random curse that activates one of: big bleeding, bleeding, paralysis, at 100% chance upon hit.

2. If Whip mastery is over level 60, bloodflame blossoms when wielding the whip. The power of the flame becomes strong according to Whip mastery level, and becomes stronger according to the amount of enemy blood absorbed.

3. Additional attack by protruding spike on contact of attack.]

[User restrictions – Whip mastery level 50 or above]

[A whip created with the maximum desire for the crafter's offensive desire. If there is a disadvantage, it is that the victim may receive death faster than pain.]

Although the description on the artifact was slightly disturbing and had a lower attack power than the Eight-tailed dragon spear, this whip had an ability that Eight-tailed dragon spear did not have. That was the various additional attack options that specialized in attacking everything within a certain range!

What Yu IlHan liked the most was the second option. Eight-tailed dragon spear also had the purple flame, and in fact, strictly speaking, the purple flame was stronger than the bloodflame by a little, but as the whip had a longer reach, it was possible to cause more damage than the spear in a fixed duration of time.

Above all, the second option truly came to light when meeting with Blaze. That was because Blaze burnt lifeforce to widen the range, and burnt mana to become stronger.

In other words, no matter how long the whip is, there is no additional consumption of mana in activating Blaze! And although he couldn't really compare, Yu IlHan had collected the most lifeforce in the world!

"The enemy is still in the vicinity. Don't panic and secure the retreat path! And call the mages who can detect concealment... Kuaaaak!'

An advanced knight that calmly gave orders was instantly burnt to death on the spot. This happened the moment Yu IlHan's absurdly fast whip enveloped his body.

[You have earned 14,302,394 experience.]

Yu IlHan quickly withdrew the whip before lashing out again. The whip marvelously did not make any sound as it flew and enveloped the next advanced knight.

[Critical Hit!]

"Kuhak!"

His whip attacks were comprised of 3 stages.

First, the moment the whip envelops the target, the shock and the sharp dragon scale fragments instantly shatter the target's defensive equipments.

The moment it hits, sharp spikes protrude out and dig deep into their flesh.

And finally, the bloodflame absorbed the target's blood and enters the body through the wound and explode.

[That sounds painful.] (Liera)

Liera compressed her thoughts into one line. Yes. In any case, it would REALLY REALLY hurt. They wouldn't even be able to endure that pain and die!

[You have earned 16,043,439 experience.]

"E, even the vice-squadron captain of Lyel Knights…"

"We haven't even found the enemy's shadow!"

"We can't do anything with our power."

"W, wwwwwwwe are paying for the price for trying to taint the sacred Battle of Competition!" 1

When the captains and vice-captains of the knight orders started burning to death, thousands lost their morale and wandered around helplessly.

However, the whip's real action was starting just now. While the rain of spears fell again and again, Yu IlHan moved around separately as he swung out with his whip to his heart's content, and the whip that had the power of Blaze, did not lose its power even while it stretched out to tens of meters as it swiped across his vision and sliced and burnt all knights!

"S, save me…..!"

"Run, run from this pl.... Kkuaaaaak!"

[You hav...]

Would shooting laser cannons create such a scene? The whip Yu IlHan lashed out with extended in a straight line to pierce everything in its path, and when Yu IlHan lightly shook his wrist, the whip moved according to the trajectory and slashed apart everything in its path.

Tens of 2nd classes were killed instantly with Yu IlHan's light strike. People of Earth would be shocked upon seeing this. No, perhaps Takagaki Asuha, who also wielded the whip, may become angry; saying that this wasn't a whip, but a weapon of mass destruction.

Was it just that? Whenever Yu IlHan caused chaos, the flame that flickered off the whip would spread to the ground and cause a fire.

Not only there would be an addition in fire attribute attack in a land of fire, as this place was some other land which Yu IlHan didn't need to care about, he was only more happy.

[You have....]

[The skill, Deathgod, has become level 34. It becomes possible to enhance your abilities by a maximum of 65%.]

Even the skill, Deathgod, which didn't increase in level that frequently perhaps due to it being an advanced skill, levelled up. Of course, as Yu IlHan's concealment didn't wear off even once after coming to this world, his Deathgod skill's ability enhancement was being applied at maximum value right now.

"Is it because it's their main camp? Or is it because they gathered only their elites? There sure are a lot of 3rd classes."

[IlHan. I can feel 4th classes approaching from afar. And two of them too!] (Liera)

"Well, it would be strange if they didn't notice anything after all this mess."

He intended for this a little as well. Yu IlHan wouldn't be able to burn an entire country head on, would he? As such, he was planning to set up the spider web and chew the ones that come into his range, little by little. And at the same time, it was also easier to set a main target with Orochi's interrogation too.

However, there were two 4th classes, and they weren't monsters but a hidden card of the humans, so this was very surprising. Honestly, he had expected around a hundred easy 3rd classes, so this was unexpected. Since things became like this, he could only make changes to his spiderweb plan.

As this was no Abandoned World, nor was the enemy a higher existence, it was impossible to receive power from Angel's support, and as he couldn't receive the benefits of anti-dragonkin weapons, he couldn't say anything was easy.

The only thing Yu IlHan could believe in right now was the massive attack power support from the ambush with the Deathgod skill active. To just believe in that though, the wall of 4th classes weren't so easily overcome.

"God dammit. Let's think after I clean these mobs out."

Yu IlHan stopped thinking and lashed out with his whip even widely. He lashed out as if to burn the entire caste!

"YOU, MOTHAFUCKAAAA!"

"That's one loud voice he has there."

Hearing the loud sound that came from afar, Yu IlHan exclaimed quietly. The whip that lashed out at the same time of his exclamation silently burnt the necks of tens of knights.

"However, it seems his legs aren't faster than his voice."

[Such evil words… Of course, it isn't like the enemy can hear you.] (Liera)

"Shut up. I have a weak heart so I can't diss them up front."

[Someone with a 'weak heart' is massacring people like this?]

"That's that, and this is just some exp pot."

Even while Yu IlHan was retorting while pouting, his wrist did not relax, and the army decreased in number again and again.

It seemed that the two 4th class beings were charging towards him diligently, but they were overwhelmingly slower than Yu IlHan's 'hunting' speed. Only Yu IlHan's experience kept piling up.

"Ugh, just how can he in this fire...!"

"It's a magic warrior. I'm sure of it. Fuck. Survivors respond!"

The places around the gate was already a sea of fire. The endlessly soaring fire, and the disturbing smell of smoke offered a sharp sting to everyone in this place with the exception of Yu IlHan.

The army, which had lost all its power as a group, shattered into pieces, and in fact, they were all being 'shattered into pieces' before burning up completely, all in real time.

"I will definitely find you and kill you!"

"Master!"

When the master of the voice approached near Yu IlHan, there were zero survivors from the army. There was only the massive wave of fire rushing towards the castle walls. It was rather impressive for the gate to be still existing.

"Oh my god, the entire army was obliterated...!"

Was the voice of a middle-aged man that arrived at the scene, as soon as he confirmed that scene. So it was impossible to deceive a 4th class with just fire huh. Of course, Yu IlHan had no intentions of deceiving them anyway.

"Obliterated? They were obliterated!? How can that be! They must have gone over to Earth already!"

"No, they died! All of them, here. Because of that fucking Earthling mutt!"

Oooh, invaders were of a different class alright. Even though they were classified 'human', he was being treated like a mutt even though it was them who was skinning other people!

Since there was such a cool racism, Yu IlHan felt very refreshed. Although he had no sense of guilt because he knew that, with this, the final line was cleanly crossed.

[The middle aged man looks much stronger! Huh, he's really strong? Wouldn't he become a higher existence if he trains about 300 more years?] (Liera)

"Nope, because that guy will die today."

It seems the two 4th classes were master and disciple. The relatively younger man, and the middle-aged looking man. Although 'middle-aged' was the description, according to Liera, he should have lived for several hundred years.

"I do need to kill them..."

[It will be hard. The younger man isn't so simple as he looks either. He should be at least over 220.] (Liera)

"I knew it."

It would be hard to kill either even if he use an ambush, and when that happens, he would have to fight against two. However, Yu IlHan was thinking about how to fight against those two when he came to a genius conclusion.

"Liera, did you say that gate was closed right now?"

[Yeah. Unless I open it, or 10 3rd class mages do it, or a 4th class mage recites incantations for 10 minutes, it will stay closed.] (Liera)

"Ooookay."

Yu IlHan seemed to smile before he started charging. The direction, to the place where the two men came from; at full power. Of course, his concealment, still active.

"Hasta la vista!"

The enraged middle-aged man and the youth were gritting their teeth while venting their frustration on the innocent ground, even though Yu IlHan had rushed right past them.

"He is still here. He's waiting for the moment we let our guard down in this fire! We need to hold out no matter how disgusting this fire is!"

"I understand, master! I will definitely kill him!"

Looking back at the beautiful training session of the master and disciple, Yu IlHan seriously sent salutations; salutations for the delusions and useless actions of idiots.

"Yes yes. Hold out to the best of your ability in that place. Until the empire falls!"

Adding on top of that, there would be DoT since they were in a place of fire!

[Oh my, how clever.]

"I'm quite capable."

Yu IlHan, who became proud after receiving such a praise, diligently moved his legs and assaulted the inner castle without the two protectors.

It took 20 minutes for the two to realize that something was wrong, and at that time, every important item in the empire had already been burnt to the ground.

1. Notice it's in capitals

Empires weren't called 'empires' for nothing. Kadra empire, which existed for thousands of years from the 1st Cataclysm to until now, 'just before' the 3rd Cataclysm, could be said to be the place where all power of the world of Ferata had gathered.

Especially the castle built for the emperor, 'Pajin Meccadira' was no different from the sign of the history and power of the empire.

Not only did many mages over the years combine their powers to set up countless guardian formations over the castle, superhumans with absurd power and absolute loyalty towards the empire had flocked together as well.

Not to mention the imperial bodyguards, there was a knight order that protected the imperial palace, and a knight order that took the mission of protecting the imperial family. They were on a completely different scale to the one that had been dispatched to Earth.

But somehow, Yu IlHan thought,

"Hey, these guys would be done in by me even if they come over to Earth, why are they sending those weak trash?"

[So you're finally becoming a little arrogant.] (Liera)

Liera replied with a laugh. However, after speaking, she propped out her head from Yu IlHan's embrace and looked around, when she shrunk back in and took back her words.

[Perhaps it's not arrogance…] (Liera)

A burning castle, and many dead members of the imperial guardian knight order composed of only 3rd class beings. They were all done in with a single whip strike too! Though, they did immediately get sucked into Yu IlHan's inventory. His remote collection technique was developing even now.

"Arrogance is taboo. It will be the end the moment I subjectively evaluate myself. The horror of realizing that you weren't when you thought you were..."

[Noooooo, stahp!] (Liera)

"Yes, yes. In fact, I'm a loner, so I have no experience of that either. I'm only simulating what could potentially be my embarrassment later and am being careful of that."

However, it seems Liera had a past experience. Yu IlHan gently stroked her, when she was pulling out her hair in grief, as he walked forward.

Meanwhile, the fire kept spreading. Expensive decorative armor, vases, paintings, pottery, and even various protection magic casted over many places of the castle were being incinerated. This was only possible because the bloodflame, the agglomeration of magic power and human blood, was reborn through the help of Blaze.

Of course, when Yu IlHan found any knights scurrying around, he carefully approached them before slashing apart their necks or snapping them. As the whip was silent despite its speed, it was the best weapon to be used under concealment.

[You have earned 37,346,811 experience.]

[You have earned 35,204,485 experience.]

[You have become level 141. 1 Strength, 1 Agility, 1 Health, 2 Magic increases.]

Thanks to the good exp sources, he even levelled up once now. Rejoicing at the fact that his arms now had more power, on the other hand, he was slightly confused.

"If it was me, I wouldn't go around alone in this chaos and gather up."

[Oh, yeah. There aren't many people who think that their invader would have acquired an advanced version of the concealment skill...] (Liera)

In the first place, the time they noticed Yu IlHan's intrusion was too late. Well, of course this was natural since they thought the two 4th classes dispatched would have cleaned things up.

The problem was that their judgement was fatally off.

Only when a quarter of the castle was on fire did the rulers notice that the 4th class master and disciple had failed, and dispatched the strong knight order to the places on fire. Of course, as they didn't know where the enemy was, they split the knight order into many divisions and teams.

"Kahk!"

"Kuhuk!"

[You have earned 42,101,439 experience.]

[You have earned 51,001,396 experience.]

And all of them, were being obliterated by Yu IlHan, division by division.

"Good, a lot of them are on their 170s too. Perhaps levelling up once again isn't just a dream."

Calculating that he would level up once he killed around 2000 more, Yu IlHan's body filled up with power. Meanwhile, something caught his senses. An aura of 4th class that was rushing straight towards the hallway he was in!

"Oh, this guy's the younger one of the two."

[He's coming straight here! I'm sure there was some signal device in the knights you've just killed!] (Liera)

If it was any alarm that targeted Yu IlHan, it wouldn't work with him in concealment anyway, so the possible answer was the signalling device that would send signals upon their deaths! Yu IlHan gripped his fist.

"He's coming straight here!? Got it!"

Yu IlHan sat down on the spot, and installed a landmine that would definitely be activated if there was a human coming here on a straight path. A special-sized landmine he made with lots of 3rd class magic stones. Moreover, they were affected by Yu IlHan's concealment and couldn't be sensed!

If there was something evil, it was that the explosion of the landmine wasn't considered Yu IlHan's attack unlike the rain of spears, so even if someone got caught up in it, Yu IlHan's concealment wouldn't wear off!

[How can your brain work so well in such evil ways...?] (Liera)

"He's here. If this explodes, this entire hallway will blow up so be careful."

But then, to get out of this place, the landmine would no longer receive the effects of concealment, and since he wouldn't be able to kill the guy with just the landmine alone, he had to do an additional ambush as well. So, what Yu IlHan came to was the best auto-control shield, Aegis!

Comprised of 5 shields in total, Aegis was a shield that can block a wide area by spreading them out, and could also be a thick shield by gathering them in one place. Truly fitting of a divine shield.

"Ooh, this is interesting."

Viiiiiin.

The moment Yu IlHan injected mana, Aegis sequenced themselves side by side in front of Yu IlHan. Controlling them was easier than the remote collection of his inventory, and Yu IlHan could cover himself and Liera by controlling them.

"The signal was from here!"

The moment he finished, the man rushed in. As Yu IlHan had intentionally left some corpses of the knights right by the landmine, the man abruptly opened his eyes and went rushed straight towards it.

[So evil.] (Liera)

"Preha, Icoro! How...! Kuuuuhk, YOU MOTHAFUCKAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHH"

Bbbbbbbbbbbbbooooooooooooooooooooom!

[Critical Hit!]

The landmine exploded. Not to mention the corpses of the knights, the explosion instantly melted the helmet and the breastplate the man was wearing, and didn't stop there and wounded him gravely to the point that the bones could be seen on the chest and neck!

"Kha, Kyahak!?"

The man couldn't understand the situation momentarily and made strange sounds.

Well, it was no wonder. If it was such a big explosion, there was no way there would be no presence of mana, but even the man, whose senses were heightened with becoming 4th class, did not notice it, and that meant that there was a mage that was much stronger than him, but there was no way such a mage existed on Earth.

"The answer was a deathgod, easy, right?"

[Who would know that!] (Liera)

Yu IlHan put Aegis away and showed up completely intact before saying the answer. Though, the man couldn't hear him.

No, in fact, as he was falling with the collapsing floor rubble, there was no way he could focus on anything.

"Hup!"

Yu IlHan, who had grabbed onto a pillar as he knew that the floor would collapse, swung his whip towards the neck of the guy that was falling down.

The whip seemed to extend tens of meters with the bloodflame before succeeding to sever the guy's neck. It didn't end with that, and the fire spread over to the body and burnt everything.

For Yu IlHan, there would never be a case where he would lose a running enemy and be frustrated over it.

He thought that there was a need to check dead ends, burn the corpse, go down to the bottom of the cliff, and even search the afterworld after every battle. Although he had never met one yet, what if the enemy had a necromancer that could use the body of someone Yu IlHan killed and make a strong monster through it? He'd be frustrated to death!

"Kya, look at that experience."

[IlHan, both the left and right walls have massive holes.] (Liera)

"I poured so many 3rd class magic stones in this to make an emergency massacre landmine. That's natural. In fact, I'm rather surprised that the castle held out."

[You must feel good, feeling the need to 'massacre' in an 'emergency'.] (Liera)

The explosion of the landmine brought great effects.

Perhaps because the knight and his armor received all the upwards shock, the ceiling miraculously didn't collapse, but instead, not only the floor, the walls on either side were instantly obliterated. A portion of the imperial palace that held out for countless years instantly crumbled just now!

The soldiers that were trying to put out the fire from outside the castle were looking up towards the hallway of the explosion with their jaws slack, and the other side wasn't much different either. Soon, this would be reported towards the higher ups so this place would become a tourist attraction soon. Although, not many would be able to enter since there was no floor.

If it was possible, he wanted to dig another trap and massacre the enemies, but that plan was no good since there was nothing to dig. Yu IlHan called out one of Aegis's shields and leaped from it towards another hallway.

In his arms was the head of the knight he had just slain. Even while burning the body using the bloodflame, the head was still intact.

[What are you going to do with that head, though?] (Liera)

"Of course pulling aggro. Let's throw this somewhere and put a landmine right next to it. I'm sure there is one idiot that would step on it."

[...] (Liera)

Evil, so evil. Was this even human?

No matter how Liera was Yu IlHan's eternal ally, she thought that this plan was better off failing, but unfortunately, his plan had marvelously succeeded.

"K, khaaaaaaaa! Festoooooooo!"

The master, who was sure that the disciple had died from the witness accounts of the knights, got agitated upon seeing the head and splendidly activated the landmine by rushing in a straight line.

"Kuhuk!?"

However, a touching scene played out at that moment. The master, who realized that a landmine was exploding, embraced the head instantly and crouched in order to protect it, resulting in more damage!

While in fact, that was all useless since Yu IlHan had installed a landmine inside the disciple's head anyway!

The master, who had received shock both from the inside and the outside, received a fatal wound due to his foolish love for his disciple. His face was almost completely incinerated, with his eyesight gone, and his heart could almost be seen.

Not only that, his spine could be seen on the back. 1

"Wow, humans are humans alright. They're weaker than monsters even at a higher level."

What was amazing was that he was still standing with his two legs despite the injury. Seeing that the head of his disciple had been completely obliterated without leaving behind any dust, the master shouted in despair.

"Khak! YOU FUCKA, ARE YOU STILL HUMAAAAAAAAN!"

"Ahah, so you skinned the people of Earth because you are human?"

Yu IlHan lashed out with his whip violently towards the middle-aged man that was speaking bullshit. If he had the time, he wouldn't have killed him so easily, quite unfortunate!

The whip, that substituted his silent rage into a raging wave, severed the neck completely with sharpness that was sharper than a sword, and at an absurd speed. Yu IlHan burned the severed body and took the head.

[You have earned 11,493,018,347 experience.]

"Wao!"

He confirmed again, but it was correct. He had just acquired around 11 and a half billion experience! No matter how high levelled the man he killed was, he still wasn't over 250!

Liera spoke in boasting.

[See? He was quite the amazing human. The amount of experience is proof!] (Liera)

"Even Karrows gave only a third of this much even though he was level 242..."

So it seems that the amount of experience given increases exponentially according to level – exclaimed Yu IlHan.

However, it was more amazing that he still couldn't level up despite that.

"A level 141 couldn't level up even after killing a level 250… This world is so screwed up."

[It's you who's strange, trying to level up twice a day even though you're over level 140...] (Liera)

Yu IlHan took the head of the middle-aged man and moved towards the next point. However, a short, green text appeared on Yu IlHan's retina at that time.

[It has become possible to fuse-evolve Whip mastery and Sword mastery!]

[It is possible to fuse the skills using 1000 3rd class magic stones and 1 4th class magic stone. Proceed?]

"...Wao."

It seems that Yu IlHan's attack of rage had touched the Akashic Record.

As he had put in effort to pour the power of the sword into the spear before, that effect was carried over to the whip as well! He somehow got a fusion evolution of a weapon!

"Nope, I'm not doing that."

Of course, Yu IlHan instantly refused. If he used Sword mastery and Whip mastery as fusion evolution materials, then he wouldn't be able to use them again in another fusion-evolution. Yu IlHan's objective was the Great Cosmos-severing Spear.

"I need to imbue the power of the whip into the spear but why so... Oooh? I think I got the hang of it."

Yu IlHan felt the free and uncontrolled property of the whip was being imbued into the spear on top of the sharpness of the sword. Of course, advanced skills weren't born from nothing!

[Spiera would faint if she learns of this.] (Liera)

"Whatever. Well, let's go. I still have a lot to destroy and kill."

[Yeah.] (Liera)

***

Meanwhile, the person they were talking about, Spiera, was experiencing the moment of her lifetime.

At first, she was just watching the gate, before holding up her spear after several hours.

That, was the best opportunity in her wait, but she herself didn't like that so much.

[Fuuu.] (Spiera)

Her expression looked bitter. She really didn't like what she was about to do from now.

[I'm sorry.] (Spiera)

She quietly muttered. Who was that apology for? Her words reached no one and scattered in the water.

However, the spear she struck out with the next moment, succeeded in halving her target!

...

[Kahak!]

The angel that was approaching the gate, was halved. The name, Lupeta. Of course, this angel had nothing to do with Yu IlHan at all.

Not in the least!

[H,ow...? There were ….no signs…..] (Lupeta)

Higher existences were sure amazing. Even though he was just halved, he still held out?

However, that leisure wouldn't last so long. Spiera, who was uncomfortable having used an 'ambush in concealment', explained in kind.

[Like how humans can borrow the power of angels, we can also borrow a power of our contractors. However, ambushing isn't my interest. Lupeta, if you were not a traitor, I would have come out in the open and fight you squarely.] (Spiera)

[What, are you ...!] (Lupeta)

Of course, that was the limit for that angel. He dissipated into white and ash colored blood, and Spiera sighed before taking back her spear.

[It's as if they predicted that Yu IlHan would go over to Ferata. Please say it isn't.] (Spiera)

No matter how reckless they were, they would never bait Yu IlHan with an entire world.

However, perhaps they had some expectations for it. Didn't it show effect too? Yu IlHan showed suspicion towards the repeated connection with Abandoned Worlds, and even entered the gate, not being satisfied with just closing it.

'So the enemy has someone who is taking into account Yu IlHan's meticulous personality? Although, it seems I wasn't taken into account.'

That was natural. She did not tell anyone of her actions. Thanks to that, she could succeed in giving them a blow.

[What is more worrying is that...] (Spiera)

She muttered before raising her head.

What she was thinking of was not Ferata where Yu IlHan was in right now, but the battlefield of New York where Yu IlHan's subordinates had headed off to.

'The traitor must have known that Yu IlHan had not appeared on the battlefield if he came here.'

Although she had expected this from the beginning, there wasn't just a single traitor. Moreover, more than one of them was in that battlefield.

'Although I wouldn't care how many other humans die...'

On the battlefield, there were many related to Yu IlHan. Not to mention Flemir and Ericia, there were the elves Yu IlHan was looking after, although he pretended to not care about them, and his son Yumir, who he cherished a lot!

[...If they put their hands on our Mir, then I'll kill them all.] (Spiera)

In fact, Spiera had taken quite a liking towards Mir too!

Author's notes

In the last chapter, some of you had questions about the defense of 4th classes, so I'll take this opportunity to explain. The defense of a mage and a knight doesn't just differ with defensive equipment, but with the evolved physical body according to their class. Health stat also takes a part in defense.

If a 4th class mage's defense without any armor is 10, then a 4th class knight's defense would be over 1000! They are on a completely different scale!

There were quite a lot of views on IlHan's actions..... however, if we start talking about the responsibility of the enemies, it would become really complicated. He might not be able to kill the emperor, and perhaps might be defeated if he let any of them go. Since he is no Solomon, he cannot differentiate good and evil perfectly, could he? And it must not happen either.

In that sense, IlHan's judging standards are simple. Everyone with hostility towards him are enemies, even if they may be just soldiers under orders. And under those standards, no one would be able to escape his spear in that castle.

What you must not forget, is that if someone is affiliated to the imperial family, there is no way that they are not related to the Earth invasion!

Spiera bait, I did intend for this a little, would there be someone who was baited by that I wonder.

1. Whew, that's grotesque. Author, you sure this is PG rated?

Even while running inside the collapsing castle, Yu IlHan felt conflicted.

"I feel like I won't ever be able to level up at this rate."

[Let's take it slow. IlHan, you're a genius so it will only take you 50 years to become a higher existence.] (Liera)

So Liera knew that his main objective was becoming a higher existence. Looking at Liera with sparkly eyes in his embrace, Yu IlHan felt slightly suspicious but still asked anyway.

"What's the required level to become a higher existence?"

1 (Liera)

"Sparta!"

Although, he did expect this to a certain extent!

Although, he also thought that it may have been 400!

"But thinking about how I'm not even at the halfway line, it drains my energy."

[Other higher existences would become angry if they heard you.] (Liera)

Although he was in grumbling, Yu IlHan was in fact, not resting but moving around the entire time. He set more things on fire as soon as his mana recovered, using the whip that had Blaze and bloodflame, destroyed every protective magic he saw, and killed every knight in his sight!

"Even I had a time when I dreamed of a tragic love with a maid I met in an enemy territory..."

[Says an arsonist demon…..] (Liera)

He could see no one without ability within the castle. Everyone he saw was at least 2nd class. As expected of the castle in the imperial city of an empire. The standards were quite strict.

Although, it was all on fire now.

[What are you going to do if the entire castle incinerates into nothing?] (Liera)

"I'm going to cause a mess until I get a call from Erta. I need to make sure these guys never dream of invading again. My objective is only chaos, and the annihilation of the experts."

Killing the emperor? He had no such thoughts. No matter how Yu IlHan outclassed everyone as an invader, he did not think that it would be easy to kill an emperor of an empire. At best, he would be able to kill his substitute.

However, in fact, he did not need to kill the emperor, nor was there a use in killing him. Why? Emperors were only the head of a huge community of men. Even if he killed one, a new head (PR: or two) would rise to replace him.

Why was Anpan-man invincible? He's invincible since no matter how much he receives damage, he would be instantly full of vitality once he switched heads! Yu IlHan thought that that was absurdly OP, when he watched the show as a child.

However, perhaps it was a parody of injustice in human society seen in histories, and a criticism on the unchanging upper society even though they were rotten to the core.

Um, perhaps, it isn't.

"So, I destroy the body instead, so even when a new head appears, it wouldn't be able to exert any power. Very, very diligently."

[IlHan, your reasoning really is different from other people…] (Liera)

Even while Liera was muttering that, Yu IlHan's destructive plan was going very smoothly.

This damned castle was too big, so it did take a lot of time, but the fire he had set did not get extinguished and broke one protective magic in the castle after another, and the bloodflame became even bigger while consuming the mana that flowed out from the broken magic formations.

Originally, the protective magic would activate before the fire grew to be too big, and if that didn't work, the mages would come into play and extinguish the fire, but both of them had been broken by Yu IlHan.

The castle, which was the core of power of humanity of Ferata, was collapsing like that. By a single 3rd class human.

Since the fire had spread so far, the upper parts of the castle had long since collapsed due to the fire, and where Yu IlHan was in right now was in the central parts of the underground.

Of course, he had killed everyone he had met on the way down. Perhaps there were some people belonging to the imperial family among the ones he killed, but that did not matter to Yu IlHan at all.

[There must be a huge amount of treasure in the castle, aren't you taking them?] (Liera)

"There are mountains of them from just what I got in Dareu. Moreover, at this point, they must have all melted down no matter which part of the castle they are in."

Moreover, if there was an artifact he needed, he could just make them himself. However, Liera didn't seem to have given up as she nagged him again.

[In fact, I found a magic that looks like that was cast over the treasure vault. Can't you just take the entire treasure vault into your inventory? You can check it later. Yeah? It won't take that long either. And in fact, it's just ahead of us. So please?] (Liera)

"You like diamond rings so much!?"

[Yes! I want to receive one!] (Liera)

Liera declared firmly without the slightest bit of embarrassment! Yu IlHan sighed and confirmed with her.

"Can I really take it into my inventory?"

[Of course, if you just break the protective magic.] (Liera)

"*Sigh*, okay. Since it's ahead of us it will be strange if we don't go."

Not only could he not reject because it was Liera's request, considering that the vault was intact, even if Yu IlHan wiped out both the head and the body, it was likely that the remaining people would use the treasures in the vault to build a strong empire again.

As he couldn't let that happen, Yu IlHan just obediently ran according to her directions.

[Turn left here.] (Liera)

"Hey."

[It's a super advanced illusion magic that will lead you outside if you don't go the correct way. Even your concealment skill would not deceive it. It's a super illusion magic completed over several generations.] (Liera)

"But won't you be caught in some rule of higher existences if you tell me that?"

[There's no rule like that. Moreover, look.] (Liera)

Yu IlHan looked towards the direction Liera was pointing. He finally found something weird, and it was that the super-sized bloodflame Yu IlHan had created seemed like it was covering every single inch, but it also seemed like some were emitting heat while some of it didn't.

In other words, there were fake flames and real flames here. As Yu IlHan was the one who generated these flames, the fake flames could not deceive Yu IlHan anymore.

[Protecting the real path with protective magic, and adding illusion magic on top of it to deceive the enemy. How is it, don't you think there will be something if you go to where the fake flames are leading you?] (Liera)

"How do you know so well when you don't specialize in magic?"

[Although my magic is no good, finding and destroying magic is my specialty!] (Liera)

Really, she was the same as Yu IlHan in that regard.

He obediently ran.

Proceeding through the path, Yu IlHan did not meet anyone. Really, there was not even a single rat. Liera explained like this:

[Positioning troops here carry the risk of the protective magic being found out.] (Liera)

"Huh, I'm really starting to see something?"

How long had he ran? They arrived at an ordinary iron door that was neither big nor small.

However, it will be a different story if that was the center of the protective magic and the illusion magic. Moreover, as he had left the effective range of the illusion magic, the fake flames didn't reach here either.

[It's here. It's being protected by the protective magic. What are you going to do about it?] (Liera)

That, was an area of silence; one which nothing and no one could invade.

"Good, let's go with the super-sized landmine."

And Yu IlHan, decided to invade that silence. He had moved the landmines in his inventory, using his remote collection technique, next to the treasure vault without the least bit of shock!

[Did you learn bombing in the military?] (Liera)

"Manual Labor is all about finding the right tricks, Liera."

The reason Yu IlHan himself didn't move was very simple. If he attacked himself, then his concealment would wear off, but when that happened, wouldn't the many layers of trap magic beyond the door activate? Yu IlHan was someone who became more careful when doing bad things.

"Well, then, let's do this, now, now!"

The landmine exploded without any prior signs and destroyed the door. Simultaneously, countless trap magic activated and scattered poisonous gas, curses, physical explosions, flames, and ice in order to make a very dangerous looking smoke, but as Yu IlHan was quite far away and even had Aegis covering him, so he was left he was intact.

[Uwaa. What are you going to do if the contents of the vault is also....?] (Liera)

"Hey, why did you suddenly... huh?"

Just as Yu Il Han was about to ask why she suddenly stopped her line, he acquired the answer himself: Although he had felt nothing before the vault opened, now that the doors were smashed apart,

he could see human figures retreating deep back in fear.

"Goddammit. No matter how you look at it, they are the imperial family. So they were hiding inside and didn't run outside?"

[I don't care about that, where's my treasure...?] (Liera)

While Liera muttered in disappointment, the humans that could be seen beyond the smoke acted very quickly. The relatively young ones quickly moved backwards, and 4th class knights, and 3 of them, took forward. As if it wasn't allowed to touch the imperial family without going through them!

Now he was sure. There was no way a fake imperial family would be protected by 4th classes. Why did they foolishly hide inside the palace when they could have run outside!

"The demon already reached here...!"

"You shall not pass! The sword of the empire shall slay you!"

Looking at that unexpected scene, Yu IlHan pondered for a little. However, he soon came to a conclusion.

"Tch, I can't help it."

He flicked his fingers. At that moment, all landmines and grenades suddenly appeared inside the emergency shelter.

Among them, was a grenade that Yu IlHan had made in Dareu, using a 4th class magic stone. A.K.A Yu IlHan's general gift set: "One way ticket to hell!"

"Kyaaak!"

"Wh, what is this! Take it away right now!"

"Sir Elbani!"

"Y, Your Majesty!"

Although Yu IlHan had a lot of fun with landmines since he had come here, it was in fact very difficult to use grenades or landmines against 4th classes.

Above all, unless his concealment came into play like how he fished the 4th classes last time, he wouldn't be able to even try this, and he also needed to stir their spirits so that they wouldn't be able to react quickly. Moreover, he could only use them in closed spaces where there was nowhere to run.

Finally, unless a critical hit occurred, there was almost no meaning in using them.

In that sense, the current situation was one of the best scenarios.

Above all, the space was very narrow, and as the ones they had to guard were right in front of them, they could not escape. On top of that, he was using a grenade with splendid power against a 4th class human with a comparatively weak body!

[So you meant to kill everyone by 'can't help it'?] (Liera)

Liera shouted in shock, but Yu IlHan replied calmly.

"4th classes belong to the heart in the body. If so, I need to kill all of them, but even I don't have the confidence to win against a 3 on 1 fight with the enemies all being 4th classes."

As such, he would weaken them first before attacking them. Even if he had to use a precious grenade made with a 4th class magic stone!

"Your Majesty, now...!"

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam.

Not giving them any time to do anything, the piles of grenades and landmines caused a chain explosion. And in fact, Yu IlHan had set them so that there would be no time to do anything.

Since so many explosions were heard at once, it even sounded a little like a siren.

[Critical Hit!]

"Cough, Kahak."

"Ku, huk... Sir, Elbani...?"

What was fortunate for Yu IlHan was that there wasn't a lot of shock all the way where he was since the shelter had absorbed most of it, and Aegis was enough to block it.

And what was unfortunate for the enemies was that since most of the shockwaves were directed inside the shelter, they had to taste a slice of hell for a moment.

The result was very clear as well. The weakest one among the 4th classes instantly died, and the two imperial family members that that guy had covered for also perished. The second strongest among the 4th classes received a serious injury such that he could not stand again, and the three imperial family members he had covered for had of course, died instantly.

"Your Majesty...!"

"Kuhuhuk…..No, No…..!"

"Your Majesty, please come to your senses!"

Since he was called 'Your Majesty' he must be the emperor, right? That person was only crying like a mental patient. Perhaps because everyone that Yu IlHan thought was his family, had been killed.

"One more."

[You have earned 7,293,029,186 experience.]

Oh, with Yu IlHan's whip, the second strongest among the 4th classes also died just now.

Of course, as the chain explosion of the grenades and landmines had no connection with Yu IlHan, he did not get any experience from it, neither did his concealment wear off. And since his attack just now had instakilled the enemy, his concealment did not wear off..

"Yo, you devillish bastard!"

The emperor, who witnessed his subordinate's head flying into the air, cried out in anguish. The knight that still covered for the emperor as his last line of defence also abruptly opened his eyes.

"You bastard! You son of a bitch!"

"Kill me! I said KILL ME!"

Yu IlHan did as the emperor wished.

No, he thought he did so when something strange happened.

The whip that Yu IlHan lashed straight towards the emperor's head, somehow latched onto one of the arms of the knight that protected him. That was an indescribable sensation, and what was even more inexplicable was that Yu IlHan's concealment suddenly wore off the moment he grabbed the whip!

"Sir Elbani!"

"You are lower than an insect...!"

The sword of the empire that protected the emperor glared at Yu IlHan and shouted.

"I'll show you the martial art of the protector!"

[It's an advanced martial art. Oh my god!] (Liera)

The guy pulled the whip with all his power. as Yu IlHan was grabbing the other end, his body also flew forward as well.

As all objects that could potentially become obstacles were destroyed in the explosion, he was drawn closer to him in a straight line! And he couldn't even react!

"DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

A knee kick after the pulling!

That desperate attack was dissipated by the five layers of Aegis shields that gathered in front of Yu IlHan's stomach, but as if having waited for it, the guy had let the whip go and struck Yu IlHan after gathering all his mana on his single elbow!

Crack!

That speed was too fast for Aegis to catch up. However, the moment his elbow was about to pierce Yu IlHan's chest, many gigantic blades protruded out from the chest area and blocked his elbow.

Of course, as their power could not be compared, they also didn't hold out for long, and Yu IlHan was smashed away.

It was natural that he would distance himself while being shot away. However, Liera didn't know that and shouted in despair.

[IlHan, are you alright!?] (Liera)

"I, remember, the days, when, I went whale hunting… with dad…..!"

[You seem alright since you're still joking around. Phew.] (Liera)

"It really hurts though....!"

The defensive capability of Yu IlHan's armor that made him feel only 'a large amount of pain' from a full force strike from a 4th class over level 250. Like what Liera said, he could still crack jokes.

Of course, three or four blades were completely broken, and the armor was dented inwards which went towards proving that the enemy's attack was not ordinary, but it seemed that the enemy couldn't accept that.

"How can you be fine after allowing my attack to hit!"

"Well, you didn't ask because you want me to tell you, right?"

Yu IlHan put away the whip inside his inventory and took out his spear to go against him.

A super expert with an expected level over 250, with a single arm and almost no mana, and Yu IlHan, who, despite having received a full force hit, was still protected by Aegis and was covered with unbelievable artifacts, but could no longer use the power of his concealment and the Deathgod skill. This would be a close fight.

The moment Yu IlHan was about to kick off the ground, Liera shouted.

[IlHan, don't let your guard down!] (Liera)

"It's alright, I can just run if I'm about to lose!"

With a declaration that unfit for a protagonist, Yu IlHan charged at the final knight of the empire!

Author's notes

IlHan does not need to go through military service. Of course, military topics will not appear in this story. Reason being, author is fed up with it.

I'm the bomb itself!

Uncle Jam is scary

Impression on the story, and thoughts about the main character's actions may all be different! Different does not imply being wrong. I'm also no Solomon and cannot judge right and wrong of the readers' comments! As such, I would be satisfied if you just read this novel and enjoy it in your own way! Let us not fight!

"Hup!"

The knight took forward as if protecting the emperor. However, Yu IlHan didn't even glance at the legless emperor, and struck out his spear while looking at towards the knight.

Yu IlHan's spear trained over a millennium, and the knight's fist, which had gone through hundreds of years of battle, clashed!

Boom!

Yu IlHan's two-handed spear strike, and the opponent's fist clashed head on and caused a boom under the ground.

However, the one to step back first in that monstrous clash, was Yu IlHan.

"Kuhk!"

[Kroaaaaar!] 1

Yu IlHan couldn't believe it. The opponent's attack did not contain a lot of mana, and he was single-armed too! But even after that he couldn't endure it? His psyche took a good churn.

'Let's be serious. No matter how weakened he is, he's still a 4th class, and he's the highest levelled one too if I exclude the higher existences I met before. There's over a hundred levels of difference and he has learned an advanced martial art as well. Moreover, he's the first one to have seen through my concealment.'

Yu IlHan's eyes changed. His stance became more meticulous, and his spear twisted at a weird angle and aimed for the opponent's heart. Synchronizing his breathing and mana, he focused everything on the spear tip.

Although he did say that it was fine because of the armor, and he could run at anytime, to Liera, that was only to make her relax.

If he could not kill him here, this guy may recover using some strange methods and invade Earth again, so there was no way he could leave behind a potentially dangerous element!

"You...! You're only a mere 3rd class, but how?"

However, the surprise was the same for the enemy. It seemed that he had realized that Yu IlHan was not a simple bomber, but a trained spearman. Yu IlHan smiled and charged forward again.

"Try blocking again!"

"I'll block it a million times!"

"Bullshit."

Another clash. Although he tried to add a fake to his hand or shoulder movements, it seemed that it wasn't that effective against an opponent who has learned an advanced martial art. Yu IlHan was the one to retreat in the second clash as well.

However, with this, he was finished measuring the opponent. The opponent really was not hiding any of his power.

"Come at me! My defense will not crumble with just this!"

"Hey."

Yu IlHan laughed and re-gripped his spear.

"Did you really think I wouldn't know that you are calling for reinforcements by causing this mess?"

Illusion magic and protective magic was a finished story, and since Yu IlHan had destroyed them both with the explosion, anyone could approach this place.

This knight was considering the scenario where he couldn't block Yu IlHan, and was dragging this fight out.

"Kuhk...!"

The knight bit his lips, it seemed that Yu IlHan was right.

The moment Yu IlHan charged forward was exactly at that moment. The moment his psyche took a slight shock and power left his body for a brief moment!

[So sneaky!] (Liera)

"Call me an expert of psychological warfare! Hah!"

On top of Yu IlHan's spear, purple flames and Blaze intertwined and created a violent flame. Perhaps the opponent realized that Yu IlHan was now doing a full-out attack, it seemed that the knight with lacking mana gathered whatever energy he had in his body and prepared to counterattack.

"Sir Elbani, that is...!"

"You vile creature, this, is human will...!"

He focused his mana as if to make his remaining arm explode, and was subliming it into something other than mana! It was a beautiful energy that made one forget about the battle and look at it.

"Take this, my.... Kyahak!"

However, that was that, and opportunity was still an opportunity.

Just before Yu IlHan's spear clashed head on with the opponent's fist, an Untraceable Trajectory Yu IlHan had struck out beforehand ripped his neck apart.

"Kuhp, Huuuuup!"

What was really amazing was that the fist did not even tremble with that attack. As expected of an advanced skill that is equal to the Spear of Untraceable Trajectory! And!

"Kyahak!"

[Critical Hit!]

[The skill, Spear of Untraceable Trajectory, has become level 27. It becomes possible to attack faster, more secretively and consecutively.]

[The skill, Critical hit, has become level 51. The critical hit rate increases.]

The moment Yu IlHan's spear seemed to clash with his fist, yet another invisible spear strike created a second hole in his neck!

[Oh my god, two at almost the same time!?] (Liera)

"Just die."

Unless Yu IlHan was some single-episode monster that came out in Power Rangers, there was no way he could receive a full power hit head on, is there? In fear of getting hit by the remaining energy in the fist, he hurriedly retreated and landed.

"Kuhp, Kuhuk...!"

However, it seems he was overly worried. Although the opponent tried to attack Yu IlHan with purely superhuman willpower, the moment Yu IlHan's second strike landed as a critical hit, the option on the Eight-tailed dragon spear activated and scattered extremely poisonous material fog.

This poisonous fog was difficult to endure even with Extreme poison resistance. And this time, the opponent had inhaled it directly through the windpipe, so the result was obvious. However, the knight still muttered more words even while trembling in this situation.

"How, can..."

"This, is human will!"

"You, bas....!"

Even while coughing out blood due to using an advanced spear skill twice almost simultaneously, he kept mocking the knight. If there was a mocking competition, gold would be his!

However, Liera managed to read the deep rage inside his light words. She had seen so much of him hiding his true thoughts inside his light actions for a millennium.

Moreover, she was also fed up with those humans with their multiple rulers. If there was any time she felt disgusted for humans in her time as angel, it would be right now.

"Did you really have to do this! Did you really have to destroy a castle with an entire history of a whole world, and step on the dreams and hopes of everything that grew in it! Did you have to kill the imperial family! And even the descendents who knew nothing!"

"...knew nothing? And did you really have to skin innocent people all the way on Earth? huh?"

It seems Yu IlHan's patience was near the limit. He asked the knight who was coughing out blood with a bright smile. At that moment, the knight's eyelids trembled and he shut his mouth.

Of course. This was about invading an entire world. There was no way an imperial bodyguard knight would not know when he protected the emperor right by his side.

"If you make me accept it, then I'll let you go, so please speak. Hey, I'm giving you the chance."

"Th, that's..."

"Speak."

Said Yu IlHan softly. The knight seemed to stutter before opening his mouth.

"That, has something to do with the fate of our world..."

"Oh, yes, of course. And that fate looks to be sure now. From now, you will be destroyed. I'll make it so."

Yu IlHan made a thick smile. Unconcealable killing intent could be felt from his light words. Liera, who was quietly watching this entire conversation playing out in his embrace, thought 'How cool!' as expected of a hopeless angel.

"Ka, hak...!"

"And you, you talked about human will or whatnot, but that wasn't even funny."

Yu IlHan raised his Eight-tailed dragon spear. As he had serious injuries, and even had holes in his neck 2, and even directly inhaled the poisonous fog, he would die even if he left him alone, but it didn't fit with Yu IlHan's personality to leave the enemy alone.

"You guys are not human."

Purple flames and Blaze burned. Perhaps this, too, has something that was more than just mana.

"You are trash worse than monsters."

When he threw his spear, it flew as and struck as if the spear was meant to be in that place, and pierced the head of the knight. Blaze, which gave the greatest pain by burning extremely brightly, severed his life the next moment.

[You have earned 23,820,227,405 experience.]

[You have earned the record of Lv 257 Elbani Da Qurad.]

"Wow, I'm still not levelling up. That's really frustrating."

How many would this 'Elbani' guy would have killed in order to reach level 257? Yu IlHan stuck out his tongue at the overwhelming weight of time, and approached the last man here.

"S, spare me."

Shouted the emperor in despair.

"W, we only wanted a safer dungeon!"

"What the hell is up with that?"

[Ah, aaaah... so that was it.] (Liera)

Yu IlHan didn't understand at all, but Liera seemed to have instantly understood it.

[This world, was just before the 3rd Great Cataclysm, right? Earth is just before its second.] (Liera)

"And so?"

[You should know that there is a limit to the materials of Traps of Destruction in Heaven's possession, right? Among them, the quantity of materials to make Traps of Destructions to safely entrap more and stronger monsters, amount to even less. There is not enough to go around to every world. However, every world would want to get their hands on it, right?] (Liera)

"Of course."

[That's why, at certain intervals, Heaven's Army opens the Battle of Competition between worlds that are about to meet their next Great Cataclysm. The winner takes the Traps of Destruction.] (Liera)

Just by attaching the word 'competition' it wasn't like it could beautify the cruel word 'battle'. Anyhow, having heard that, he wanted to ask about the rules of the battle, or about the balance of power between worlds, or about the list of matches, but he had no time to listen to any of that.

If there was anything important, it was that,

"So, these guys would sneak into Earth with the help of traitors, and become spies in the Battle of Competition to make Earth lose?"

[Bingo.] (Liera)

I knew it! It really wasn't just a simple invasion! Only now did everything become clear.

Nothing changed the fact that these guys were bitches, but it was good to find out what these bitches are trying to do!

"So, why didn't you tell me that before?"

[It's forbidden to say it beforehand. And these guys know already because they have a prior experience in their 2nd Great Cataclysm. And since you've heard it from them, it's fine for me to tell you as well. Moreover, even I didn't think that there would be a world that would cause such an absurd thing like this just because of the Battle of Competition...] (Liera)

"Okay, that's enough."

With that, he felt refreshed. Since he was, it was time to finish his this. Since he had stirred too much a mess, he felt people approaching this palce.

"Heeek!"

When Yu IlHan approached the emperor with a spear in his hand, the guy shouted in fear.

"If you kill me, the emperor of Kadra empire, there will be a disaster! You must not kill me!"

"Oh, really now."

"Y, yes! The demonic beast that is contracted to the empire will rampage around in rage! If that happens, it will be the end of everything!"

"Great!"

Even while exclaiming, he swung his spear without hesitation and severed the emperor's neck. Yu IlHan snorted while looking down at the emperor, who had an expression of fear until the very moment he died.

"You're talking as if giant robot will come out of the pentagon."

[What if it really happens?] (Liera)

"Then that's the karma of this empire."

The innocent civilians will be massacred just because the emperor was killed?

No matter how rotten and hypocritical this empire was, there was no way they would treat its people as if they were insects, was th....

[Kgaaaaaaaaaaaah!]

At that moment, Yu IlHan could hear a roar from far away as if to smash apart his naïve thoughts.

He knew just from the cry. Whatever this cry belonged to, it had an absurd amount of power!

Yu IlHan looked at the dead corpse of the emperor with dizzy eyes before muttering in vain.

"Ha… ha… oh shit."

These bitches were really bitches until the very end. No, calling them bitches was an understatement.

[What are you going to do, IlHan?] (Liera)

"I dunno. If I go back to Earth, I'll try visiting the Pentagon."

[Yes, yes. I'll go together with you. So what about now?] (Liera)

"....Well, of course."

Yu IlHan heaved a deep sigh. He would welcome that beast if it just stomped on the leader-class people of this empire, but the probability of that was infinitely close to 0...

"Shouldn't I take care of it since I caused it? .... I really don't want the innocent people to die."

[How can you be so merciful at such critical moments…] (Liera)

"Hmph, shaddap"

Yu IlHan could see that the knights that were approaching this place had already stopped due to that cry.

Well then. What did he have to say in order to use them well.

Yu IlHan pondered on such useless questions as he prepared for battle.

Author's notes

Those who were curious about how the emperor keeps his power, should have understood the means after reading this chapter….. probably T^T

The method Heaven's Army uses to manage the worlds is 'Provision of Traps of Destruction' from beginning to end. Without this, all worlds will become doomed.

So is it possible for those that disguised themselves in human skin, to act as spies in the Battle of Competition! – This will be handled later with more content on the Battle of Competition.

In fact, IlHan's current attitude is quite hypocritical. It's not like I created the perfect saint from the beginning either. However, I think I can promise you that he will walk his own path without wavering. Perhaps one of the enjoyable elements of this series if how the character known as Yu IlHan develops throughout the story, or so I think.

1. Probably Orochi here.

2. How was he even speaking…

Disaster fell upon the empire of Kadra. It appeared without prior notice on a hill nearby the imperial castle, and bellowed as if to make everyone acknowledge its existence.

An enormous body, strands of thick, black magic power that covered it, and the black fire spreading from its body was as if it was the reincarnation of horror.

"Oh my god..."

"It's divine punishment. It's God's punishment because we committed a taboo."

"The empire is done for."

"Aah, we shouldn't have grabbed onto their hand."

All that knew the identity of the monster collapsed on the spot in despair.

It was clear that the emperor had died. Since the demonic beast would not have shown itself if there were any survivors amongst the imperial family, the imperial family must have been exterminated as well.

The imperial castle collapsed and burned, and most of the high ranked knights and mages had also died. The forces inside the castle only amounted to a total of 3000 with just a few low-levelled 3rd classes, and half baked 2nd classes.

Now that things had come to this, the nobles in the countryside would not aid the imperial capital. They would hide in their territories, praying that the demon beast's wrath would not extend unto their land. Even if they did step up, they wouldn't have any 4th class beings within their ranks. As such, they could hardly expect to be able to calm the beast down, much less hunt it.

The empire was done for. With this, it had certainly met its end.

"So, you are going to wait for your deaths?"

It was then that Yu IlHan showed himself in front of the thousands of knights. He put the bloodied Eight-tailed dragon spear on his shoulders with his left hand, and on his right hand was the head of the emperor. He looked truly like a villain.

"Y, you! All of this happened because of you!"

Someone that looked like a captain of a knight order pointed at Yu IlHan. Yu IlHan threw the emperor's head towards him, and he hastily grabbed it.

"Speak properly. Everything happened because of your emperor, no?"

"His Majesty only-!"

"Shut up."

Shutting the captain up, Yu IlHan spoke again after having a look at the looks of despair on the thousands of knights.

"So, you are just going to wait for your deaths?"

"Then what do you want us to do!"

As if having waited for those words, Yu IlHan pointed towards the crying monster on the hill with his spear. His mouth had curved into a smile from some time.

"You gotta kill that."

"Not to mention killing it, we cannot even wound it properly with our power. You! You killed everyone that can kill that monster!"

"Yes."

Yu IlHan didn't deny it at all. He had already killed 5 4th classes since he had come here. If there were any left in the castle, then he would be really amazed. In fact, 5 was at an already amazing level.

"Well, then. If you have a head, then try using it. I killed everyone that can kill that thing. If so, will I be able to kill that, or not?"

"What…..? You….. kill, that thing?"

"Probably, if I set up some things beforehand?"

The knights lost their words. They all had expressions that had 'what's this guy up to' written on their faces. Well, it was no wonder, since the guy who came to this world for revenge was saying that he was about to kill a monster with the same objective.

Of course, Yu IlHan didn't require the understanding from these people at all.

"You have two choices. One, you die under my hands right now. Two, you die by getting eaten by that absurdly huge monster."

"What's the difference between the two?"

The knights smiled in despair. Yu IlHan also smiled.

"Well, who knows? Perhaps the demonic beast will eat less humans because you're inside its stomach?"

No one replied to that. Instead, one of the knights that kept his silence until now asked while glaring at Yu IlHan.

"Then why are you saying that you will kill that thing?"

"You're asking that? It looks like all the innocent civilians will die just because of you bitches. How can I leave it alone?"

Ah, anymore of this would be useless. Their thought circuits were different so what good would it do even if he said anymore? Yu IlHan just clicked his tongue and raised his hands. It was time to send worthless death upon worthless peo…..

"I'm going."

At that moment, one of the knights stood up.

"Although it feels unpleasant since it looks like you're using me... if something changes because of me, then I'm going."

"I'm going as well."

"I cannot leave the fate of the empire to someone like you. I'm also going."

"Kuhk, if it's for the empire, even if I have to shake hands with a demon...!"

He thought 'well sure' at the beginning when 1 or 2 stood up, but it seems like…. they were standing up one after the other? Looking at their resolved expressions, they looked like main protagonists before their final battle. Yu IlHan thought while looking at that scene,

'Hah, you sure boast even though you succumbed to my threat.'

No matter how you look at it, it seemed like they were trying to gift wrap their deaths since they couldn't avoid it….. since he could use them now, he didn't point that out.

Soon, all the knights had stood up, and the captain also decided to follow Yu IlHan, even while feeling that he had fallen for Yu IlHan's trap. He couldn't go against the peer pressure.

[IlHan.] (Liera)

At that moment, Liera escaped from Yu IlHan's embrace and spoke.

[I'll be back after I execute a traitor.] (Liera)

"You found them?"

[Yeah, I'm sure of it. Although it was quite hard to find since he was hiding…. I found someone that had a record of coming into contact with the emperor and the dead battalion commanders. What gave me the confirmation….. is that he's approaching the gate right now.] (Liera)

Oh, then it was 100% sure now.

Liera instantly expanded into the same size as Yu IlHan and floated upwards.

[Be careful of the beast. Although it doesn't differ much in level to the knight you killed last, it strength should be on completely different levels.] (Liera)

"You too, Liera."

[Yes, I'll be back.] (Liera)

Liera lightly kissed Yu IlHan's cheeks before instantly disappearing with flap of her wings. Yu IlHan, who was left behind, absent-mindedly stroked his cheeks, before realizing that the knights were staring at him, and he spoke with a slight blush.

"Th, then from now, I'll explain to you a plan so that you can die a slightly better than a dog's death, so listen carefully."

It took 5 minutes for the demon beast's cry to die down. After that, it ran while raising the flame output from its body.

Everything burnt into black ash on its path, and it didn't stop at that and scattered acrid smoke onto the surroundings.

[Guoooooooooooooh!]

Not only that, its cry didn't just end with shockwaves and proceeded to shatter surrounding rocks and trees. Whatever it did, it became a natural disaster.

"Huh..."

Even Yu IlHan, who resolved himself to kill it, thought that 'Huh? Wouldn't I really die in this fight?' as he approached the area.

Would his armor hold out well? Yu IlHan gulped after looking at the slightly dented armor due to the fight with the knight last time. In any case, he could only try!

"I already told you the plan. I throw and it gets pierced. Then?"

"...We grab and hold."

The knights answered with very stiff expressions. Yu IlHan nodded and held a thick dragon bone harpoon with both of his hands.

The harpoon which had undergone many upgrades to have enhanced durability along with piercing power and restrictive power! Of course, he had long since embedded a pillar that went with it.

Right now, Yu IlHan and the knights were transforming an area where the demon beast would come in 1 minute if it ran straight ahead, into a battlefield, while preparing to fight.

Tens of large scale harpoon & pillar sets were embedded in the ground, and aside from that, Yu IlHan had installed the ballistas that remained after giving Erta some to deliver to Kang MiRae. Although they were weak knights, many of them should be able to load a ballista if they worked together. Even other than them, he had taken out a lot of things from his inventory. If he lost, then his losses would be incredible.

"If I succeed in killing that demon beast with your help, then I will no longer interfere with you."

With the demon beast nearing, Yu IlHan suddenly declared. Then, the knights all raised their heads.

"Is... is that true?"

"Yes. I'm saying I won't care if you rebuild the castle or do whatever you want. It's not like you have the power to invade Earth again anyway."

"Ooh, oooooooooooh!"

The knights finally gained their spirits.

Defeat the beast, and rebuild the empire with the survivors! How dramatic was that!

The public will absolutely favor the knights that protected the imperial capital, and although they would have to negotiate with the nobles, they would still be the core of new history! That was the heroism, and legend that all knights wished for!

"W, we shall definitely kill the beast!"

"We shall survive!"

Yu IlHan nodded in satisfaction while looking at the rising morale of the knights.

'Good, I think it's about time I get a max level 'scam' skill.'

Obviously, these bitches had all something to do with the Earth invasion, and as such, they were all bitches to the core. Yu IlHan was planning to clean things up even if someone remained after the demon beast died.

He lied to raise morale and bring out some activity from the knights, but he never knew it would be so effective!

"It's coming!"

At that moment, one of the knights shouted. There was no more room for leisure. The other knights also scurried to their positions.

Yu IlHan put a great amount of strength into his arm holding the harpoon and activated his concealment after making the knights retreat. Then, he put all of his power into the harpoon. He activated the Superhuman strength skill, brought out any bit of power he could get from the Absolute accuracy skill, and finally, he focused in order to imbue the power of other martial arts into his throw.

'Sharpness of a spear, destructiveness of a hammer, speed of a whip! A proper strike while it's still rampaging around without noticing anything!'

Tensing all the muscles in his body, when he opened his eyes, its figure filled his vision.

He had to throw the harpoon right now, but its figure over 30 meters was overwhelming to the point that it almost snapped his willpower to challenge it.

'No, Orochi and the other dragons weren't inferior to this.'

Although he had the anti-dragon weapon then, so what?

Yu IlHan had become stronger. Not only his artifacts, but his levels, and his skills also rose. As such, he could do it!

Breathing deeply, he threw the harpoon which he threw to the best of his ability!

[Critical Hit!]

[Kyauooooaaaaaaaaah!]

The harpoon Yu IlHan threw, pierced deeply into its cat's paw-like foot, if you didn't consider its size. It seemed that attack was painful no matter how big it was, as it roared like hell and spat out flames from all over its body.

"Kuhaaaak!"

With that single roar, 3 knights were ripped into pieces, theground was dug apart, and the fire from its body spread to the harpoon, then onto the dragon leather rope, and to the pillar. The pillar seemed very unstable as it was about to be pulled out at any moment, and the knights who had to stop that from happening despaired!

"..."

"Cover it with your bodies. Hold out so it doesn't get pulled out!"

Ordered Yu IlHan to the knights that were absent mindedly watching and before jumping upwards. Its gigantic and yellow glowing eyes were glaring at Yu IlHan!

"Ballista! Fire!"

At the same time it spat out black flames towards Yu IlHan, the knights also hurriedly moved around. They pulled the trigger to the ballistas that were loaded to maximum power, 20 shots of them too!

[Critical Hit!]

[Critical Hit!]

The extra-large sized arrows made of dragon bones all pierced the gigantic body of the demon beast. However, the moment it was about to react and turn its head towards them, the harpoon Yu IlHan threw from the second zone pierced onto its back!

[Critical Hit!]

[Kyahaaaaaaah!]

"Good!"

Yu IlHan was sure that he had imbued the sharpness of a sword and the speed of a whip into his harpoon throw just now. Otherwise, there was no way it would pierce so deeply like that!

He leaped towards the third area and while shouting.

"The (weapons made of materials from) dragons shall punish you!"

[Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaah!]

The demon beast roared again. And the knights were swept away like dried leaves in the autumn wind.

The knights should have realized by now. How hard it was to become a legendary character! Why was the world so full of those sad legends and why no one doesn't believe such legends!

[Krrrrrrrrraaaaah, Kyahaoooooo!]

The demon beast's roar became fiercer. The flames from its body all aimed towards Yu IlHan and came from various directions! While Yu IlHan wanted to test its attack power in one corner of his heart, he also thought that it didn't need to be him to be the one to get hit.

"Ballistas! Shoot after loading! Pile bunkers too! Move!"

As such, he grabbed the harpoon on the third area and threw it at the beast's hind foot, and sneakily put the knights up front to make them defend against the flame, before hurriedly going to the 4th area and grabbing the harpoon.

He probably had to do this around 30 more times in order to stop the beast's movement. Perhaps more, since the pillar in the second area looked very unstable.

[Kyahoooooooaaaaaaaaak!]

The demon beast roared. A portion of a rocky cliff far away shattered, and knights exploded again.

The crisis was too absurd that it was almost funny. Yu IlHan didn't go down even against the monster's explosive mana as he muttered while throwing a new set of harpoon.

"Call me Ish... Ah, well. Hey! Over there! Move faster!"

The battle had just started. Although over a hundred knights had perished, there were still more than 3000!

Author's notes

Did the knights really stand up for the people? I'm not sure either!

The last battle of Ferata is a raid! A novel's law is to have stronger enemies if the main character is stronger!

Translator's notes

When Yu IlHan succeeded in striking about thirty harpoons into the beast's body, there were only 1,700 knights left on the scene. The rest were either eaten by the beast, or killed by Yu IlHan in their attempt to run away.

[Kukyaaaaaaaaah!]

"Good, now it won't budge a single bit."

At first, the beast tried to crash into the imperial capital after finishing off Yu IlHan and the knights quickly, but now, its movements were almost entirely restricted due to the harpoons that riddled its body.

Well, there were no more harpoons to throw, since they were all broken! Now, it was the time to believe in the knights that guarded the pillars connected to the harpoons and proceed to the next stage.

"Grab onto it with all your might! We shall protect the empire!"

"Uooooh!"

"The beast cannot move! Knights, show it your willpower!"

"Uoooh!"

In the face of the absurdly large disaster, it seemed their minds had broken down. The surviving knights all put on a hero act. They combined their power to go against the beast, and desperately attacked in order to deal any form of damage!

Newly confirming that human spirit move towards how it suited itself, Yu IlHan kicked off the ground.

[Kyahooooooooh!]

All of the beast's aggro was on Yu ilHan, as it was he who had struck all those harpoons in in the first place. It should really hate Yu IlHan to death right now.

As such, Yu IlHan couldn't rest even for a little. Its endless cries, and the unending pillars of fire from its body, and the thick tail which Yu IlHan failed to hold down with the harpoon, were all aiming for him!

"Ugh!"

[Kyahaa!]

Since the tail was very visible, it was easy to avoid. The problem was the flame and the cry.

The flames from its body burnt the air and devoured the space. Extreme poison and vicious curses would remain wherever the flame passed by. Most of the knights died thanks to this, and even Yu IlHan would have collapsed long ago if he did not have Extreme poison resistance and Higher curse resistance.

[Kuoooooh!]

"Goddammit!"

The most dangerous above all was its roar. Everything that lay on the path of its mouth was obliterated, and he couldn't avoid that.

Dragon magic that had almost no delay from incantation to activation was already OP enough, but this guy, in terms of destructive ability, was chain shooting such attacks like nothing!

"Tch!"

"Uooooh!"

"Kuaak!"

It was impossible to avoid just by observing its movements. He had to sense the vibration of mana and anticipate the trajectory before the actual attack, and even had to leap twice in order to avoid it.

As he had to deploy Superhuman strength in order to use leap, he had deployed Superhuman strength this whole time, and to keep and recover his muscles in the extreme state, he also had to keep up his Transcendent regeneration. It was good that he had prepared a lot of Breath.

[Kyaoooh!]

For some time, Yu IlHan had given up on relying on sight in battle. Even while he was blinking, his body rushed through the air, and many things blurred his vision whenever he opened his eyes, including the ground, the sky, rocks and trees, flames and a gigantic tail!

In this repetition of delicate psychological warfare and dodging, Yu IlHan's mana senses and his leap skill grew diligently. The battle senses that Yu IlHan could never develop as no one and nothing overwhelmed him in speed and power before – this was starting to take shape in this place.

In exchange for Yu IlHan's sweat and pain!

"Eat this!"

[Kugyaaaaaah!]

It wasn't like Yu IlHan was running around all this time. He was doing is 'next stage' that he had declared before. Which was, throwing spears from long range!

Even now, a huge bone spear that appeared above its back shot down fast with the entire weight of the inventory and struck deep into its body. This happened as soon as Yu IlHan saw that its body was within his range of remote collection in his dodging.

[Critical Hit!]

[Kyahaaaak!]

It seemed it was painful as it forgot to send out a roar and twisted its body. For Yu IlHan, this was a rare opportunity. He avoided the pillar of black flames that erupted from its body and struck out with his spear, and this worked very successfully.

[Critical Hit!]

Yu IlHan wished to pour down hundreds of spears at once, but not only was it impossible to control that many spears while dodging every single one of its monstrous attacks, it was also impossible to give any effective damage if he spread out the weight into over 100 parts.

This was also a fact he had realized with tens of sacrifices from the knights. It was better to do a clear strike every time he had the opportunity!

"Kuaaaaaaah!"

"Aah, for the empire!"

Those same knights were grandly being evaporated real time. The beast's tail or the fire, or the roar that failed to attack Yu IlHan would scatter in every direction and affected them. Every time the beast rampaged, the ground shook, thunderclouds gathered in the skies and knights died.

If it rampaged a little more, perhaps this entire landscape might flip over. IF that happened, then there will no longer be a meaning in those harpoons. As such, he had to strike as many times as possible with his spear while it was still grounded!

[Kyahaak!]

"Attack! It's becoming weaker!"

Yu IlHan shouted loudly as he flew again. He leaped again and again while dodging the whip of black flames, and shooted several kilometers into the air in an instant, before taking out a dragon bone spear before throwing it down with his full power!

"Show it the will of our Kadra empire, and our power!"

"Let's prove our undying glory and power to that shithead!"

At that moment, the crazed knights took the single-time use pile bunker that Yu IlHan had given them and charged forward!

[Kuooooh!]

"Uaaaaaaaah!"

"Uryaaaaaaaaaah!"

Of course, there were more knights that evaporated into nothingness while charging, but even more knights rushed forward and took the pile bunker before striking them into the beast's foot and butt.

Since Yu IlHan had given them the pile bunker fully loaded, the effect was of course great!

[Kyaaaaaaaaaahk!]

The demon beast twisted around and cried in pain. The rope connecting the harpoons and pillars all stretched taut, but they still held out quite well!

"What the hell is up with them? They're fighting better than I thought. And there's quite a lot of effective damage too..."

Avoiding the scattering roar of the beast, Yu IlHan landed while muttering. So it was possible for humans to become crazy to such an extent in the face of death? Some of them even looked to be fighting beyond their capabilities!

At that moment, an even more spectacular thing happened. Most of the 2nd classes that stayed at level 99 were growing into 3rd classes!

It seemed that the battle with this beast was an absurd record in and of itself. Of course, Yu IlHan was also feeling that very painfully...

"Ooh, ooooooh! Power. Power is overflowing!"

"I! shall build a new history for the empire!"

"I will kill that and become a hero!"

Their overflowing passions were too hot! Although, the demon beast's flames were even hotter!

"The beast went crazy!"

"Do not approach that black blood that's flowing from its body! It's an extremely toxic poison!"

Well, the decrease of the knights didn't stop and now there were around a thousand left. Among them, many were trying to hold out so that the pillars won't get pulled out, but after seeing that their allies were gaining power in front of their eyes, their eyes flipped and they started rampaging.

"EAAAT THISSSSSSSS!"

"I WILL SHOW YOU THE POWER OF A MAN, AND THE WILL OF THE EMPIRE!"

The number of knights that courageously charged forward to the beast clad in black flames with the weapons that Yu IlHan had given out before the fight, like single-time use pile bunkers, and throwing hammers using the Giant's Rubber band, had increased!

At this moment, those maggots were moving under one heart in the face of that monstrous beast with over level 260! Even though he didn't intend for such things to happen!

"Uoooooh!"

"Die!!!!!"

Although the attack power of the knights were insignificant, when their power combined with the weapons that Yu IlHan had created, they couldn't be ignored. Moreover, there were over ten knights who were striking giant dragon bone ammo into its body at the same time!

[Kyahooooh!]

The beast finally turned its eyes away from Yu IlHan and spat out flames in rage. The extremely toxic flames that seemed like it was from hell split into tens of strands of whips and struck on the ground, and the poison and the curse covered the knights.

Tens of knights were forced to retire early in the face of that simple attack.

"Good, you guys are doing very well!"

However, it became relatively easy for Yu IlHan to move around since the knights were more proactive in annoying the demon beast.

Yu IlHan moved around diligently to not miss this opportunity as he struck several bone spears over its body. Using remote collection, direct throwing, and if he was lucky enough to gain an opportunity, he even charged closely and struck it directly!

[Kugyagagagagagak!]

However, just at the moment when the demon beast was about to become a hedgehog due to the hundreds of bone spears, it seemed to be annoyed now with the indiscriminate attacks from all directions, as it tried to leap upwards by kicking off the ground while emitting vicious flames in all directions!

The harpoons and the pillars connected with the ropes seemed to make inconspicuous sounds in resistance before shooting into the air with the knights that held on to them

"Uaaaaah!"

"Uguooooh!"

That scene was truly spectacular. The target that all humans here put all their power into restricting, had freed itself using its overpowered strength!

[Gwaaaaaaaang!]

The flame that appeared the moment it exerted power wiped out many knights again, and the knights that flew up into the air in its rampage also became unable to battle after falling down.

[Kuaoooooh! Hkyaaah!]

Meanwhile, the demon beast roared in lunacy and started to run in a straight line. Since it had spat out a lot of mana and blood, with spears and harpoons all over its body, it wouldn't be in a normal state.

It had long since lost its reason, and was heading to the imperial capital instinctively since there was the most number of lives there.

"I can't let you do that."

Yu IlHan followed closely and struck another spear into its body, but it no longer cared about Yu IlHan either. No, with its reason completely gone, it couldn't even catch his presence.

In other words, it now became possible for him to go into concealment against it.

"Then."

Yu IlHan had a look at the dense number of dragon bone spears, bone harpoons, bone arrows, and bone ammos. In terms of quantity, it would be well over a thousand. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that one or two dragons had latched onto it.

Then, with this, the preparations were enough.

He took out a new weapon from his inventory. The weapon that he had poured blood and sweat into inside the barrier along with the whip. Its name was grand as well.

[Destruction-calling Giant's Resonance Thunderhammer]

[Rank – Legend]

[Attack Power – 6,800]

[Durability 8,500/8,500]

[User restrictions – Dragon Slayer]

[Options –

1. 60% increase in critical hit rate, critical attack power.

2. Is possible to expand in size by a maximum of ten times. Power rises accordingly.

3. Resonates with items made of the same materials as the hammer according to the user's will]

[A weapon of the creator of myths. The weapon will evolve according to the records it gains with the owner.]

The hammer didn't have such magnificent options like the whip. However, not only was the attack power higher by about 600, the properties of all three options were focused into one area, which was the speciality against a single big enemy!

What Yu IlHan liked the most was the gamma option, 'resonance'. He didn't know how such an absurd option popped out. But such a result came about when he let the magic stone do whatever it wanted in the mana crafting process. The net of the sleeper caught several fish.

Resonates with the items made from the same materials as the hammer. What meaning is there in that? Perhaps that was the first thought that comes to mind.

However,

Yu IlHan raised his hammer and expanded its size by 10 times. Then, he called out an Aegis shield and leaped + re-leaped as much as he could, to catch up to the demon beast that was charging forward.

There was nothing to hesitate about now. He pulled the power of Superhuman strength into the maximum, pulled Blaze over the end of the hammer, and exerted as much weight of his inventory as he could control, and struck down towards its head with all his power!

[Critical Hit!]

[The skill, Blaze, has become level 19. The power of the flames become stronger.]

[K, kgyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!]

The moment Yu IlHan's attack burst in power, the demon beast rolled on the ground with a horrible scream. Did Yu IlHan's attack hurt so much? Well, yes because, despite Yu IlHan's low stats, he had a legend ranked weapon that dealt a critical hit.

However, the real reason was not that. That, was very clearly seen from the beast in pain due to the red flames covering its 'whole' body.

[yahak! Kyaahaaaaaaaah!]

The reason it was in pain, was because all the bone spears, and bone harpoons and bone ammos and bone arrows made of 'dragon bones', the same material that made up the hammer, had caused a resonance with the hammer and vibrated along with an enormous trauma while spitting out Blazing pillars!
