295 - 301

What was creation? Yu IlHan had never forged anything from nothingness and as such, he did not know what true creation was just yet.

The creation he knew of was tied to using materials that already existed and transforming them into something else. He took it a step further, giving rise to what was regarded as impossible, from what naturally occurred.

With enough materials, he could make anything. He had the confidence to do that.

[It is not too late. We can still....]

[L, Lord Michael!]

[Don't you dare!]

[Get out... dirty crows. Do not block the way of the one that executes God's orders!]

Voices of angels and fallen angels could be heard afar. Yu IlHan thought while listening to them.

What was I trying to do again?

"Yes, creation."

Creation of what?

"Myself."

His true self, created from the materials provided through his very own being. The smith was himself, while Eternal Flame, Echjar, and Yumir were helping him. The Cradle of Miracles served the same purpose. Fusing the flames and dragons within him into one, and giving rise to a completely different being.

Now that he had finally mastered the Record skill, nothing stopped him from doing it.

"I wish I had more flames."

If he was disappointed about anything, it was that. Of course, Yu IlHan was currently in a realm where he could create flames by himself and rule over them, but he had to make the dragon's mana in the same way as well.

Eternal Flame and Echjar were supporting the energy of flames and dragons respectively. Additionally, Yumir was also providing him with dragon's mana. That was why, the dragon's energy was slightly larger than the flame energy he had.

He wanted to balance those two out. What could he do? How? When he thought up until that point, he discovered an external source of flame approaching him.

"So that's it."

The one that was burning in intense hostility was Michael, a God's deputy. It seemed that the fallen angels were insufficient to block him. He could feel the aura of flames approaching him in a straight line.

He would have finished earlier if the fallen angels didn't block him… those guys really didn't do anything good.

[Although I think it is very unfortunate... we cannot allow your existence. We shall take care of Earth. So... die in peace!]

Shaking off the 2nd Wing of Brilliant Light, Anafière, Michael flew towards him and threw a flaming lance that contained all his mana. The 4th Wing of Brilliant Light, Satière, tried to block it before it reached Yu IlHan, but the 1st Battalion Commander of the Destruction Demon Army, Keshein, swallowed the 5th Wing and held Satière back.

[You damn monster...!]

[He's grilling him for me to eat. I can't allow you to stop him before he is cooked to perfection!]

These guys were imitating an orchestra all by themselves. Yu IlHan laughed and watched the many fights going on, before eventually shifting the position of the Cradle of Miracles slightly. The next moment, the flaming spear flew straight into the Cradle.

The flaming spear should have destroyed the Cradle as well as Yu IlHan within it, but it had lost all its force and was only left with intense energy, which filled the Cradle of Miracles.

[The skill, Counter, has become level 39.]

"No, no. I'm not reflecting it. That's it."

He had 'countered' the strike from Michael who was even called the God's deputy. It was natural for the Counter skill to leap in levels. However, even though Yu IlHan had acquired an opportunity to injure Michael, he cancelled the skill midway. It was to absorb the raging flames held within the attack.

"Thanks. You filled the last piece of the puzzle."

[My God....]

With his flames stolen, Michael finally realized where this was going and muttered in disbelief. The closer he went to Yu IlHan, the clearer he could see what he was doing right now.

On the outside, he still kept his human figure, but in actuality he was anything but human. Right now, the elements that made up the person known as Yu Ilhan was decomposing, they broke down into the most basic units, and were subsequently reconstructed into the most perfect combinations and structures.

[You, are already....]

"Yes."

Yu IlHan replied with a smile."

"You guys are too late."

[I cannot accept it!]

Michael made a new set of flames and threw them. Yu IlHan's very existence had become loose; and Michael had lit a fire in the heart of all of it. However, it only helped Yu IlHan in his creation as it was sucked into the domanial resonance.

If Michael was an angel that manipulated not fire, but water or ice, he could have delayed Yu IlHan's creation by a little, but now that Yu IlHan had ascended to a new realm of being, all of his flames were instead ruled by Yu IlHan.

[This cannot happen. Gabriel definitely told us that we will not be too late. His foreknowledge has not yet...]

"Foreknowledge…. prophecy…."

The closer he approached Yu IlHan, the more mana of flames that composed Michael was sucked out of him and into Yu IlHan. The resonance between Yu IlHan and the Cradle of Miracles was now loud like thunder and even made some of the beings here deaf.

"I'm sick and tired of all that bullshit. I never looked at the answers when I solved questions in textbooks."

That was a lie. He did glance at the solutions when he didn't understand how to do them.

However, repeating such actions would increase his reliance on the answer sheet. Once one found himself being relieved only after seeing the answer in the answer sheet, they would realize how dangerous it is to know the answer beforehand. Yu IlHan also stopped checking the answer sheet after that.

Yu IlHan liked the unknown.

He liked freedom.

He even loved loneliness, but on the contrary, he also liked noise as well.

He liked everything that endeared him and loved him, and now he wanted to reciprocate and love them back.

If he had the qualifications.

He wanted to encompass everything in his embrace.

The flames Michael had made, the one that contained his all poured from the Cradle of Miracles to Yu IlHan. It was as if looking at a baptism of flames. Michael cursed himself for thinking that that scene looked holy for a brief moment.

Creation began.

[Master... is changing.]

[Th, this... is not changing. It's rebirth. How can this be. Is this being really achieving the long cherished wish of the dragonkin? A being that is not a dragon, s is being reborn as a dragon?]

[Dad is becoming stronger. I'm also becoming stronger.]

"Everyone... concentrate."

Yu IlHan knead himself. As he kneaded all of his records, his titles, main class, and even skills were all mixed up with each other and were destroyed and was created anew, but the important thing was not that right now.

He concentrated purely in order to make himself stronger, more perfect, and more suitable.

[All main classes and subclasses disappear with their abilities intact.]

[The skills, Record and Rule, fuse and evolve. You have acquired the skill, Declaration. You can now create a record that surpasses records within your domain, as well as bringing non-existent records into reality. It will use large quantities of mana in the process.]

[The skills, Falling Down, Dragonic blood, Dragon-man resonance, fuse and evolve. You have acquired the skill, Manifestation. You can increase the abilities of everything under your domain. You can implement more destructive abilities on a wider scale as the skill grows.]

[The skills, God Force, Spear of Untraceable Trajectory, Great Cosmos-severing Spear, Dismantling, Excavation, Absolute Accuracy, fuse and evolve. You have acquired the skill, Transcendent Trajectory.]

Seeing the strongest being here, Michael, being easily swept up in front of Yu IlHan, no one could approach him. Of course, the Destruction Demon Army did not care for that and rushed in, but they were akin to moths rushing into a firestorm, only to be sucked dry of their mana and shrivelling into nothingness under the domineering might of the turbulent resonance.

[Kugh, like this... I can't eat him! Dammit! Uaaaaaaaaaah!]

And that was no exception for the 1st Battalion Commander of the Destruction Demon Army, Keshein. It was clear what this meant.

Yu IlHan had already pioneered a new realm from all those here, and a realm that they could not reach.

"Well, then...."

[No, no...!]

[My lord, o, Satan! Are you really going to allow the birth of such a being? O Lord Satan!]

[Aah, the prophecy... is finally happening!]

Brilliant flames arose. The flames that arose as if to shroud Yu IlHan and Yumir's figures expanded rapidly to swallow everything in the region and forming a complete sphere.

It looked like a red egg. The unprecedented. The 'Unique (Yu IlHan)' was completing himself inside the egg.

[Aah.]

[He is....]

[Born.]

And at one moment, the flame that formed a sphere started being sucked into the center. At that moment, the world became silent. As if to celebrate, or to fear, his birth, everyone was silent.

And Yu IlHan opened his eyes.

Countless text appeared on his retina.

[You have become the ruler(lord) of the higher existence faction 'Dragon's Nest'. You have become a being that is no longer bound by league. You are not bound by anything. You do not become stronger in a world under your rule, but are not affected either in a world belonging to an enemy.]

[Born man, reborn through dragons and flames, you can also influence absolute authority over all metal and artifacts.]

[You can enable additional ruling within the domain with the skill 'Declaration' whenever you wish.]

['No one' can hide from you.]

[You have become level 519.]

[Yu IlHan]

[Lord of Dragon's Nest Lv519]

[Strength – 1,113 Agility – 1,067 Health – 1,035 Magic – 1,528]

[Active skills – Manifestation(Falling down, Dragonic Blood, Dragon-Man Resonance) Lv 1, Transcendent Trajectory (Great Cosmos-severing Spear, Spear of Untraceable Trajectory, God Force, Dismantling, Excavation, Absolute Accuracy) Lv 1, Mana crafting Lv Max, Declaration (Rule, Record) Lv 1, Warp(Leap) Lv 87, Dimensional Ruler Lv 88, Counter Lv 39]

[Passive skills – Blacksmithing Lv Max, Magic engineering Lv Max, Cooking Lv Max, Unshakable heart Lv Max, Dimensional adaptation Lv 79, Fleet command Lv 86]

"Fuu...."

[Master!]

[My god... My lord, my ruler!]

The most difficult work ever since he learned creation was finally over. Yu IlHan sighed in relief and shrugged his shoulders. A small translucent flame lingered in his breath for a moment. The Soul of Fire and the Body of the Human Dragon, that hadn't taken form yet, covered his naked body again.

While everyone was looking at him absent-mindedly, Yu IlHan patted Yumir's head and checked his status.

"Mir, are you alright?"

[Yeah, I grew a lot!]

Yumir awakened as soon as soon as Yu IlHan did. Since he was connected to Yu IlHan more deeply than anyone else, he had evolved the moment Yu IlHan was reborn as the Lord of Dragon's Nest.

[I became a lot stronger, dad! Did I do good?]

"Of course. You did very well."

[Hehe.]

Right now, Yumir was a much bigger dragon than before. With his level limitation removed, he grew instantly into a 6th class dragon of level 451. Right now, he could wield flames in conjunction with his wind. Naturally, that was thanks to Yu IlHan's help.

"Oh, and Michael's help too."

[You, bastard....]

Michael clenched his teeth while facing Yu IlHan that was reborn into a lord. The flaming lance in his hand could not maintain itself and disappeared. In front of the lord of all fire, Yu IlHan, no one could use the power of fire without his authority.

[I am the deputy of God! O false Transcender. You do not think that flames are all that I have, do you!]

"Of course not. I also know that you're very strong."

Replied Yu IlHan slowly as he raised his hand. A spear of pure flames appeared in his hand. The appearance was so natural that no one could feel anything awkward from it.

"And so, Michael...."

Yu IlHan flicked his finger with a smile.

"Come at me."

[Such impudence.]

Michael called out a new weapon and grasped onto it tightly. Although its origins were unknown, the spear was made from an ancient metal. Just looking at it was enough for anyone to tell that it was a God-ranked artifact.

[The light that clads you. It is a mere coating that will peel off with a few scratches!]

"That's an interesting claim."

But what was more interesting was the God ranked artifact he was holding. It wasn't like he only had one God-ranked artifact despite being the God's deputy, and he was also the de-facto leader of the Four Great Archangels… Though, he did have to be cautious about the God ranked artifact's power....

"Whoops. Why are you in such a rush…"

A spear of flames and a spear of metal clashed in midair. Like how Michael's fire didn't work against Yu IlHan, Yu IlHan's own fire was not 100% effective against an angel that manipulated fire. As a result, the first clash was a draw... or so it seemed.

[!?]

Michael was about to step back after exchanging light blows, but he found himself unable to take a step back, leading to a look of confusion. His could not withdraw his spear after the clash.

"What's wrong?"

[You....]

From the outside, it looked like they were having a friendly conversation. Michael's expression stiffened fearfully.

[What did you do?]

"You think I'll tell you?"

When Yu IlHan pulled his flaming spear towards him, the metallic spear slid to his hands as well. This was not just any Epic or Chaos rank, but a God-ranked one! Michael couldn't let it be stolen and desperately pulled on it, and as a result, even his body was flung forward. Yu IlHan's cold and sharp kick hit him squarely on the chest.

[Critical Hit!]

[Kugh!]

[Lord Michael!]

If it was the lower existence Yu IlHan of before, he couldn't possibly deal any damage to Michael with a light kick, but right now he was a ruler-class being with a level that surpassed 500. With a single kick containing God Force, Michael's body was pushed across the air, and the God-ranked spear fell into Yu IlHan's hands.

[Do you think physically taking it away will make it yours?!!]

"Oh, this is a splendid spear. It inflicts the enemy with a wound that cannot be cured, and the wounds caused by this will never stop bleeding... and the one that is acknowledged as master of this weapon can heal himself by injuring others. Isn't this quite the vicious weapon for an angel?"

Yu IlHan swung it a few times to read the records from it, and struck it into the Flamesoul Dragon body without hesitation. Was he trying to harm himself?

Michael was shocked at the scene, but became speechless the next moment. The God-ranked artifact was sucked into the armor while giving rise to ripples, as if it was being thrown into a pond.

[Yu, IlHan...?]

"Thanks."

The next moment, the spear he was holding slightly changed in shape. The spear body became a little longer, and a special insignia was engraved on the blade. Michael immediately realized what this meant. He subconsciously groaned.

[No way... it's not true. That cannot possibly happen.]

"Well then. Time to test it out, I guess?"

[Kuoooooooh!]

This time, it was Yu IlHan's turn. Without having to speak anything, Yumir roared out and flapped his wings, giving rise to a volley of flames! The moment Yu IlHan 'wished' to be in front of the enemy, he appeared in front of the enemy.

"Hi?"

[Kuh...!?]

With firm movements, Yu IlHan lashed out with his spear. Michael proved that he wasn't God's deputy for nothing and dodged before Yu IlHan could even reach him, but Yu IlHan's spear wasn't just a simple physical attack.

"Heh."

[The skill, Transcendent Trajectory, has become level 9.]

With numerous techniques fusing into one with the Spear of Untraceable Trajectory and the Great Cosmos-severing Spear as the foundation, it had reborn into a trajectory that surpassed cause and effect, space, and fate. That was why the name was 'Transcendent Trajectory'.

It was not avoidable by dodging, nor was it defensible by blocking, undetectable by sight, nor could it be heard by listening.

[Critical Hit!]

[Kuu... Kugh!?]

The moment a line that only the Supreme can make, was drawn, A burst of white blood scattered from Michael's chest even though he was far away from Yu Ilhan.

Endlessly.

[Don't tell me, you really copied the artifact... It was what the LORD gave me!]

[Lord Michael!]

Raphael couldn't just stay still and used his power on him. The unparalleled ability of healing shrouded Michael. However, Yu IlHan only laughed.

[It's not stopping. Lord Michael's blood is....]

[... Kugh, obviously. The power of a God ranked artifact cannot be ignored by you, Raphael, or even me.]

Yu IlHan once again rushed towards Michael and swung his spear. Michael knew that it was useless to dodge, instead summoning another artifact to meet it head on, but the artifact was instantly crushed and another injury appeared on his body. Michael held back his groan, but Raphael couldn't endure anymore. A spear of wind appeared in his hands.

[Impudent being. How dare you covet the authority of Heaven just because you became a little stronger!]

"Yes, come at me. You won't be able to recover so easily like last time."

[Kuooooooooh!]

Yumir cried along with Yu IlHan's intent. The wind generated from his body made the fire burning on Yu IlHan's armor stronger. The resonance between the two deepened, and the already gigantic spear became even more threatening.

[Raphael! Do not let your guard down!]

[Lord Michael, please rest! We cannot turn tail in front of the devil when we serve the only LORD!]

[Raphael!]

A devil, eh. It finally came to that. Yu IlHan made a bitter smile while watching Raphael who was flying with the help of wind and with his partially ripped wings. He really looked like a holy angel on God's orders, making him feel like he really was playing the role of a devil.

However, if he had to acquire the title of devil just because he wanted to become strong in order to survive.

He'll gladly take it.

[O Father, bless my every steps! Bestow me the power to defeat the devil!]

"Hhp."

This was no time to think about anything. Yu IlHan gripped onto his spear in order to strike back.

[Hah!]

However, someone appeared behind him just before he clashed with Raphael. It was none other than Keshein, the 1st Battalion Commander of the Destruction Demon Army. However, Yu IlHan only slashed once. Though, in fact, he just didn't have the time to attack both forward and back.

[Kugh...!]

[Kihigh!]

Raphael clenched his teeth to block it, but Keshein made a smile of victory. It was worth it to come here! Weakening the Heaven's Army, and he shall become stronger! He felt like he could see the future filled with destruction and bliss.

[Critical Hit!]

[Critical Hit!]

It was a very precise moment, and everyone here knew of Keshein's strength, so it was no wonder that the higher existences there thought that Yu IlHan's rampage will finally come to a stop. However, the results betrayed all of their imaginations.

[K, ugh....]

[Kigh!]

Even though there was only a single strike that swept through the air, there were two wounds. Raphael couldn't block Yu IlHan's spear and was shot away while spurting blood from his chest, while Keshein fell down before his claws could reach Yu IlHan's head as his neck was perforated multiple times before he could reach him. Yu IlHan's slash and piercing attacks were realized in two different directions at once.

[You have earned experience.]

[You have earned the records of Lv 588 Keshein.]

[You have become level 525. 10 Strength, 5 Agility, 5 Health, 10 Magic increases.]

[The skill, Transcendent Trajectory, has become level 13.]

[Aah, how can-]

"Bye."

Yu IlHan didn't even listen to Raphael's final words and mercilessly struck his spear into his forehead. The spear pierced through his brain and that was it.

[You have earned experience.]

[You have earned the record of Lv 585 Raphael.]

[You have become level 530. 8 Strength, 7 Agility, 5 Health, 5 Magic increases.]

[The skill, Declaration, has become level 19.]

The numerous higher existences residing in that world were momentarily awestruck, they didn't understand what had happened and just watched on with dumbfounded expressions. However, after Keshein and Raphael's corpses were sucked into Yu IlHan's inventory, they finally realized that the two had met their deaths.

"Fuu."

[Dad, I levelled up a lot again!]

"Well done, Mir."

The father and son exchanged smiles that didn't fit in this situation and praised each other, and this scene looked very out-of-place to the onlookers. In fact, it looked very vicious and fearful as well. They felt as if the entire world had been frozen and was broken into pieces.

[Even Keshein and Raphael were...]

[One of the Four Great Archangels... died?]

[The 1st Battalion Commander of the Destruction Demon Army, was so easily....]

Yu IlHan raised his head. While everyone retreated a step back in fear, only Michael, who had to witness the death of Raphael right in front of his eyes, despaired.

[Dammit, DAMMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!]

[It's as if, that being is....]

Everyone was paying attention to Yu IlHan. However, their gazes were now fundamentally different from how they viewed him before.

Hostility from the angels and wrath from fallen angels, desire from the Destruction Demon Army and pleasure from the Garden of Sunset. The four specific emotions before had now changed to just one.

[We cannot do anything about that being.]

[We need to run. Run!]

It was a sense of admiration and a deep, overwhelming wave of horror.

[Run.]

[Before he closes all the paths from this world.]

[Why is Lord Satan only watching?]

[He is one that will enjoy even this. This is a world that is connected to the Netherworld. He must be enjoying watching whether this transcender will take over or just abandon this world.]

[Retreat. We cannot get in his way.]

[Run.]

The Garden of Sunset and the Army of Brilliant Light were the first to move. The Garden of Sunset didn't participate in this seriously in the first place, and the Army of Brilliant Light immediately opted to retreat after seeing that Satan didn't react to this.

[Lord Michael.]

[Lord Michael!]

Michael raised his head a little after that. The angels scattered around the world had all come back and were looking at him. Yu IlHan was just watching him without attacking for some reason, and Michael knew precisely why he did so, which made him more angry.

However, despite that.

[...We will retreat.]

[Yes, sir.]

The angels all started disappearing as if they had waited for that order to come down. Even those fanatics realized the difference in power.

Michael watched as they all returned, and when he was the only one left, he finally raised his head to glare at Yu IlHan. Feeling the boiling mana inside him, Yu IlHan leaked out a laugh.

[The LORD shall punish you for your sins.]

"I'm really curious, but are you going to die if God tells you to?"

[If such is the will of God. And according to the same will, you shall definitely die.]

"And God really said that?"

[....]

Michael disappeared without giving an answer. Then, the ones left were Yu IlHan, Yumir and the remnants of the Destruction Demon Army forces.

"Why are you guys still here? Wanna fight even though you know you'll die? Well, I guess that's your raison d'être."

It was the next moment that a completely unexpected answer was given to him.

[Our boss wants to meet you!]

[The Fifth! Let us go to Elo Katra together!]

"...What?"

Yu IlHan had just finished off their 1st Battalion Commander Keshein, and a little before that, he had killed and revived Helièna into one of his subordinates. The leader of Destruction Demon Army shouldn't really like him that much. However, they did some really interesting things.

[He won't kill you! He won't fight you either!]

[The greatest service since the creation of the Destruction Demon Army! The boss likes you!]

[He wants to play with you! He wants to play!]

Even though Yu IlHan had just awakened and became a transcender not long ago, the enemy was a super strong being who had surpassed the boundaries of a higher existence and transcended god knows how long ago before he did. If he just followed their invitation blindly like a lost sheep, he didn't know what sort of situation he would end up in. However, Yu IlHan just laughed and replied.

"Okay, let's go then!"

Yu IlHan was no idiot. He was thinking about just one thing right now.

-What kind of artifacts are there in Elo Katra?

"This is an amazing world."

[Hahahahaha! It's an amazing world alright!]

The Destruction Demon Army representative laughed heartily when they heard the first line Yu IlHan uttered after entering Elo Katra. Of course, some of them couldn't hold back their instincts and attacked Yu IlHan, but those beings were instantly obliterated by Yu IlHan before being collected into Yu IlHan's inventory.

"I think my inventory will fill up soon so please hold back."

[Okay! Okay!]

It seemed like this ruler of the Destruction Demon Army had great influence. Just with Yu IlHan, who was the invitee here, saying that, the predators at the top of the hierarchy prevented the others from attacking him. The others all just chattered noisily around him

[You seduced Lady Helièna, didn't you? Tell me how you did it!]

[Lady Helièna! I want to see the beautiful lady Helièna.]

Yu IlHan believed that one needed to have the smarts to become a higher existence, but that didn't seem so true after looking at these guys.

Perhaps being insanely strong was all that mattered! Perhaps Yu IlHan had taken a very roundabout way in order to leap into the realm of higher existences! The more he thought, the more believable it became so he just decided to stop thinking about it.

[There's still a long ways until the castle.]

[I want to see Lady Helièna.]

[It's very rare for the Lord to wish to see another being.]

[Even Satan didn't attract his attention.]

[Just what are you?]

"Who knows."

Vaguely ignoring the loud predators around, Yu IlHan looked around in Elo Katra. Both the skies and the lands were pitch black, the distance between the two were great, magma boiled here and there, and the air contained a concoction of potent poisons. There was no way any life form would grow normally in this environment.

"Perhaps Earth will become like this one day."

[I don't want it to be.]

Yumir didn't seem to like Elo Katra. Yu IlHan also agreed with a laugh.

"Yes. Dad also doesn't want Earth to become like this. It won't be such a good environment for the people of Earth."

[We'll be there soon.]

A gigantic castle that no one could see until just now, even to Yu IlHan who saw through all concealments, had shown itself. The aura of destruction that can be felt at the center of all this made even Yu IlHan, who had just awakened to become a higher existence, momentarily feel a sense of fear.

"Hm, leaders are a completely different class of its own alright. I think he's stronger than Michael."

[But that angel was weaker than dad!]

"The reason dad could overwhelm Michael is because of our affinity with fire, Mir."

The more they approached the castle, the stronger the pressure became. Rather than blocking it head on, Yu IlHan focused on striking them back with the Counter skill. He had unexpected gains when he did that.

[The skill, Counter, has become level 42.]

[The skill, Counter, has become level 43.]

"Whew, that's some fast skill growth. At this rate, I want one of those in my house too."

[Really the vicious lord....]

Echjar felt that he knew why Yu IlHan could become so strong. No one else would ever say that they wanted an incarnation of the leader of the Destruction Demon Army in one's house other than him!

[The skill, Counter, has become level 45.]

"Huh? I think there was something mixed up in that just now... oh."

[Kraaaaaaaaaaar!]

Eventually, Yu IlHan noticed the figure standing in front of the castle's entrance. He thought back since he remembered seeing this guy before, and it turned out he was one of the two Battalion Commanders that had come to Yu IlHan wishing to avenge Helièna.

[You... have crawled in here so shamelessly after all that.]

"I'm sorry, but who are you again?"

Yu IlHan asked out of pure curiosity, but it was enough to make the other agitated and enraged.

[I'm Hillutonne, the 2nd Battalion Commander of the Destruction Demon Army! You stole Helièna, who was mine!]

"Your what?"

He couldn't reply. Well, he had absolutely no relation to Helièna at all!

[You! I will definitely kill you! Kuooooooooooh!]

"Helièna's your what! Why the hell did you stop so suddenly!"

[Kraaaaaaaaaaaaaar!]

So, he just went berserk, a stereotypical method of dodging the topic, and charged against Yu IlHan! Yu IlHan also realized the truth soon. Pitiful guy. It was a case of unrequited love from beginning to end!

"How can I help it when she says she likes me? Why don't you just give up around here?"

He teased Hillutonne with a face of pity. He was the number one in the universe in regards to having a contradicting expression to what he was saying.

[Kuaaaaaaaaaaah!]

Perhaps it would be different if Yu IlHan met Hillutonne outside, but this was Elo Katra, the main headquarters of the Destruction Demon Army, and right in front of the castle where the ruler resided at, so his abilities had amplified massively in this place. Home territory advantage was really at play here.

"Fuu."

But even so, Yu IlHan didn't think the slightest that he would lose this fight.

The leaders of a higher existence faction, the ones that pioneered their own paths, were just that different. They were in a completely different realm than those that followed another's path!

"I can kill that, right?"

[Kikik, Destruction Demon Army does not ask such questions!]

"Well yeah, I guess. You guys would do stuff just like that. I asked just in case!"

Black magic power shrouded Hillutonne's body. Unlike Michael who had a mana of fire, the curseful magic power formed from pure killing intent and hatred, sharply arose and aimed for Yu IlHan and Yumir's necks.

Yumir attempted to dissipate the mana by releasing a roar that contained his own mana, but it couldn't be blocked by Yumir's attack alone since he was still at 6th class. Of course, that was without Yu IlHan's help added into the mix.

"Mir, now."

[Kuooooooooooooh!]

In the past, when Yu IlHan was just Yumir's Dragon rider, they only increased each other's abilities by 30% when fighting together. Of course, that was plenty amazing in itself, but it would be a stretch to call it true 'resonance'.

However, it was different now. A higher existence faction known as the Dragon's Nest, had been born, and in the process of becoming higher existences, the two were connected more solidly and more deeply than ever before, and now they could share each other's mana as well as use each other's skills. So.

[Kraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahn!]

It was not difficult at all to supplement Yumir's roar with the high-density magic power from Yu IlHan's over 1,500 points of magic!

[Critical Hit!]

[Khhaaaaaaaaaaak!]

It was just a single roar. With just a shout, all magic in the surroundings disappeared as if they were washed clean, and Hillutonne spurted blood from all over his body. Even the Dragon of Despair, Echjar, couldn't bring about such destructive power when he was alive!

[Ku, urg, you....]

[Stop there, Hillutonne.]

A voice of a middle-aged man could be heard. It was probably the master of the castle that this barking dog was guarding! Nothing good would come out of disturbing him when the two were going to meet soon.

[However, I, only...!]

"Who says you can run?"

However, Yu IlHan threw his spear without hesitation with a smile.

[Kahk!]

Transcendent Trajectory didn't just apply to the strikes he did with his spear, and it applied to throwing as well, and it pierced Hillutonne's body before the lord of the castle could do anything. There was no way Hillutonne could endure that when he was practically nullified by Yumir's roar already.

[You have earned experience.]

[You have earned the records of Lv 571 Hillutonne.]

[You have become level 533. 5 Strength, 3 Agility, 2 Health, 5 Magic increases.]

[The skill, Transcendent Trajectory, has become level 17.]

The 2nd Battalion Commander, Hillutonne, had died. Even though he had amplified his strength to the limits at the very heart of the headquarters, he just died without being able to do the slightest thing. Even though their practical commander had died, the predators belonging to the Destruction Demon Army only laughed their hearts out. Really, these guys were all screwed up.

[Ah, oh.]

Yu IlHan snorted and spoke.

"Shouldn't he pay the price for trying to test me?"

[You really are a man suited to join the Destruction Demon Army. I told him so many times to restrain himself when it came to you, but he still shortened his life in the end. A pity.]

The gates to the castle opened. Beyond it was thick darkness as well as a Transcender shrouded in it.

[The Fifth Transcender. I welcome you. I welcome you gladly.]

"Even though I killed the 1st and 2nd Commanders and stole the 3rd?"

[It's fine.]

His answer was a masterpiece.

[Just as many Battalion Commander-level beings have died in the other factions. It was a blissful time of destruction. Just with the pleasure and delight I felt from that is enough for me to welcome you.]

Yu IlHan was reassured that the one waiting inside the castle was truly a madman and tapped on Yumir's back. Understanding his intention, Yumir immediately changed to human form and grabbed Yu IlHan's hand.

Growing into 6th class at once, he grew up to be a youth around the same height as Yu IlHan, but his actions were still no different from a child's. Perhaps no one had ever reached the 6th class at his age.

"Let's go."

"Yeah."

The father and son entered the castle while holding hands. There was nothing inside. As the master of the castle, it wouldn't be surprising for him to utilize some maids or butlers, but when he thought that and saw the scene inside the castle, he immediately put that thought away. Yumir gripping his hand tight in fear was quite cute.

"No wonder nobody ever approaches this place...."

[Are you surprised?]

"A little."

No one could be dishonest here after looking at the being that was staring at Yu IlHan from the distance. Well, if what he saw was indeed his 'eyes'.

[I welcome you, Yu IlHan. I call myself Greed. You're the third being to have laid eyes on my true form.]

"And the first and the second?"

[Michael and Satan. I had a really great fight against those two. It's a pity that I couldn't devour them.]

Inside the walls of the unfathomably giant castle, there was a monster bound by chains made of ancient alloyed metal that even Yu IlHan had a hard time recognizing as the one who embodied the god of smithing.

Feathers of a bird, scales of a dragon, air bladder of a fish, manes of a lion, fangs of a viper, skin of a troll, muscles of an ogre, angel's ring, and black feathers of a fallen angel – he was composed of anything that formed life across the many worlds, and after countless merges, he was at a state of saturation.

[I am Greed. One who desires. After endless desire and greed, I have reached this point.]

Greed was insanely large, and was still increasing in size.

Did Yu IlHan think Echjar was big? That Kelatuke was big? Yu IlHan horizons broadened after looking at the being that split his own magic to create a castle, and even cast a spatial distortion magic and squeezed himself into the tiny space.

"...Should I pity you?"

[Fu, haha.]

The castle of means of imprisoning Greed. Even as a transcender, his magic power had expanded to the point that he himself couldn't bear it anymore.

Of course, the threat of mana would be equal to both himself and his enemies. And thanks to that, Yu IlHan's Counter skill was rising rapidly.

[The skill, Counter, has become level 55.]

[Pity, huh. That's an emotion I have lost long ago. Perhaps it will be worth it to taste such an emotion again through you but... I'll refrain from now.]

"How did you devour so much?"

[I just loved devouring. I liked the disappearance of my obstacles, as well as them becoming my power. I made all that I ate into my power, and experienced endless growth.]

As a result, he now possessed a body that was huge enough to swallow Heaven itself. He charged to Heaven with the entire world he ruled, but even he despaired for the first time.

[There was no God there. There was nothing for me to eat. And Michael was annoyingly strong despite being distasteful. It wasn't worth it to clash against him.]

"That's a different reason from what I've heard?"

[Don't tell me you really think that those down there really act upon orders? The Archangels from Heaven's Army are moving on their own accord too.]

It was too true so he couldn't retort. Yu IlHan made a strange expression and checked again.

"Then the Army of Brilliant Light too?"

[Satan is the most truthful and beautiful man I know. The fallen angels are only drunk on the premise of bathing in his light.]

"And the Garden of Sunset?"

[I do not know about that side. But their leader must be such an interesting man. I am only disappointed that I haven't met him yet. Well, then. I'll return to the main topic here.]

The ruler of the Destruction Demon Army – Greed, the man who Yu IlHan expected to be the most muscle-headed and destructive, spoke to Yu IlHan in a calm voice.

[Are you aware of the upcoming destruction?]

"What?"

Yu IlHan asked back.

The monster smirked so widely that his teeth could be seen.

[I should have said just now, that God does not exist in Heaven. In other words, God has died.]

If Yu IlHan had never read books about Nietzsche before, he might be quite shocked by that statement.

"Such a simple conclusion can't...."

[There were no new worlds born after Earth was created, while many worlds were ruined or are on their way to ruin. Even higher worlds are decreasing in number. Even if they fuse to become a bigger world, they will eventually reach ruin. Like the world belonging to the Army of Brilliant Light that you have destroyed.]

"And so what? You want to launch some interdimensional peace campaign or something?"

[I wish for destruction, but once everything disappears, there will not be a thing left for me to eat. That is also why I have to bind myself. So... there is a need for a new God. A new Creator. There is a need for one to rule over all worlds and create them anew.]

"So you can eat to your heart's content again?"

[Precisely, and I.]

Greed uttered some nonsense again.

[Think you will become that new God.]

"Ah, okay."

When Yu IlHan turned around, the monster giggled.

[You think I'm lying?]

"Uh, yeah, duh."

[God is dead. I will eat him, while Satan is the only one that remains subservient to God until the end, while the Garden of Sunset are just onlookers. Ever since the beginning of time, only you, Yu IlHan, have reached the realm of creation other than God himself. I was sure after watching the revival of Helièna.]

"For that, I only infused half of her soul into-"

[Yes. You are still lacking. Your league, your mana, your records, everything. Of course, you have done plenty enough to shock us all.]

It was good that he was aware of that. As before, Yu IlHan did not have the ability to create being from nothingness. However, the monster's words continued on.

[And you instinctively know what you need to do in order to reach a higher realm, do you not?]

"...."

Yes. Yu IlHan was aware of that already. Why do factions exist? How does world subordination occur? What did one have to do in order to raise one's league continuously? Yu IlHan now knew of a method other than just recklessly levelling up.

Worlds. He had to take in countless world.

"So you want me to participate in the war for higher worlds?"

[You already are. I only want you to be more proactive on completing your objective.]

"In order to procure things for you to devour?"

[Precisely. Now we're talking. So, what I want is this.]

The blackish-red tongue that split into many branches, akin to that of a reptile's, slicked around in midair and spat out a breath of poison. Immediately after that, the word that Yu IlHan thought would never come out of that monster's mouth, came out.

[Alliance.]

Yumir gripped onto Yu IlHan's hand. He implied that he didn't want to be on the same side as that horrifying beast. However, it was also true that Yu IlHan found that offer quite attractive as a newly ascended faction leader with the least power.

"An alliance, eh."

[Although your faction has the fewest in number. You can move the most freely among the transcenders. No one can ignore you. Of course, that goes for me as well. I want to be in an equal cooperative relationship with you.]

"And specifically?"

[The first objective is to wipe out the Army of Brilliant Light and the Garden of Sunset. Let us split the worlds from those two factions equally. I will acquire enough mana in order to sustain myself, and your league will increase as well. The next would be....]

Yu IlHan knew his final objective without having to listen.

"Erasing Heaven, huh."

[Absorb Heaven and make Earth the 2nd, no the 1st World. You shall become God. You shall become the new Creator! Then I will remain your enemy.]

"So you aren't going to sugarcoat it and say something like let's stay in an alliance forever, huh?"

[That is natural. I am honest to my desires. I'm about to go mad in curiosity about how your new creations will taste.]

Yu IlHan ended up laughing.

"Did you not think that I will just go over to Satan?"

[If you are saying that because you remember that the fallen angels tried to protect you... he will be even more uncooperative. It is because you are already complete. Did you ever see a person waiting for a pizza to be finished being cooked in the oven, still looking at it with the same gaze after it was fully cooked?]

"That's one tasteful analogy right there."

Yu IlHan also just joked around with that. He didn't really think about going into an alliance with the Army of Brilliant Light. In fact, he found the fact that they were trying to protect him quite annoying as well. He could do it all by himself, but they just foolishly died because they did something unnecessary.

Never had Yu IlHan consider a situation that he would receive external help. Because he had never received any help from any outsiders until now. That was why loners were strong. They could stand tall by themselves, without relying on someone else.

That was why.

"I'm sorry but I'll have to refuse this offer."

He did not need a monster's help either.

"I'm going to move according to my own judgement. Worlds ruined? You have nothing to devour? Not my problem. I'm fine with protecting my own world, and the ones within my fences. And if you, or any other rude guys aim for that, then I will only erase you all. I think you're misunderstanding something here, but you know? I'm actually."

He smiled.

"Very, very petty."

[Petty, eh? You're the strongest petty guy out there eh. But as you are now... can you really protect your fences?]

"Well, it will be hard for now."

With the insanely large and stifling existence in front of him, Yu IlHan felt the difference in league right now.

Right now, he could not win against this being. The reason he could defeat Michael was only because he had the advantage in terms of attributes. Just how was he supposed to defeat an insane monster that emitted a strong pressure of mana just with its body alone, without any artifacts or an attribute advantage?

"But I can earn time. I can even prevent you from coming."

[No, I have no thoughts of fighting you just yet. I only wish for you to listen to my proposal. Because soon.]

The monster smirked. Splitting its insanely huge mouth wide, he showed all his big and small teeth and laughed heartily.

[You will also realize it. Their figures that are even more hideous than I am, the sensation of war that will approach you even when you stay still. Remember my offer then. I will be waiting for your answer.]

The castle gates opened again. Yu IlHan turned around with Yumir. The monster's hearty laugh was very disturbing,

[It, probably won't take long.]

"Hmph."

The castle gates closed, and the horrifying pressure also disappeared along with the castle itself. Yu IlHan's Counter skill had reached level 69.

[It's over? It's over?]

[Then play with us!]

The predators who were waiting for Yu IlHan to finish his business all assaulted him with a big grin on their faces. Of course, their 'play' probably meant something along the lines of 'eat some of your flesh'. Yu IlHan grinned like them and cleaned them all up with a swing of his spear.

Experienced poured in, but fighting with such beings with such a lower league didn't even dent his experience.

"I said my inventory is full. You guys really don't listen."

"Dad, let's go back now. I'm sleepy."

"Yes, dad is also tired now."

As he had to control the Counter skill against that pressure all this time, there was no way he wasn't tired. Yu IlHan activated Warp with a sigh.

Before the skill completely activated and took the two to another world, he could see the Wall of Chaos that boasted its size over in the distance.

Beyond that was that world. The Godless world of light filled with angels.

"Destroying Heaven together eh?"

The monster that could not hide his desires. Although he might think that he had acted out well this time.

'What kind of pig eats with consideration for the future? That's not a pig. That's Socrates.'

Yu IlHan thought with a snort. If he was so smart, he wouldn't have fallen to such a point.

He either lied or hid something from Yu IlHan. For example, the leader of the Garden of Sunset that he strangely didn't want to talk about.

"Should I go meet the leaders of other factions too?"

However, going to the Army of Brilliant Light wouldn't turn out so well. He did believe Greed's words that Satan wouldn't let him be. Yu IlHan would also do that if he was Satan.

Decisively, he didn't even know where the leader of the Garden of Sunset was. He was even surprised how meticulous he himself. The realm of concealment was truly deep.

"Then where are we going, dad?"

"Obviously, Dareu."

He really wished to go back to Earth, but if Yu IlHan went to Earth right now, there will come a small problem. The problem that Earth would immediately leap into a higher world. The master's league was high enough to control the flow of Earth, and since Earth was ready since a long time ago, wouldn't it just follow him around in joy?

"I don't think that's a small problem, dad!"

"Son, your retort skills are rising."

In that regard, Dareu was already a higher world, and was a world under Yu IlHan's rule, so there was not much problem. Moreover, it was up to Yu IlHan to decide on a world to become the main headquarters so going to Dareu first didn't mean that he couldn't take care of Earth.

At that moment, the Warp skill activated. The horrifying scenery around them became faint, and the peaceful world of Dareu could be seen.

Of course, that world started changing rapidly the moment Yu IlHan arrived.

[You have gathered all the records of this world, and have received the obedience of all the residents here. The world, Dareu, is procured as the territory of Dragon's Nest.]

[Receiving your records, the 6th Great Cataclysm occurs on Dareu.]

"Ah, there's a small problem here too."

"That's not a small problem at all, dad!"

And it really became a not-so-small problem. The moment Yu IlHan decided to go look for the elves and protect them, a thud sound could be heard inside his body, and another couple of green text appeared on his retina.

[Your power as the Lord of Dragon's Nest activates.]

[The world under your rule, Guundia, fuses with Dareu.]

"...Huh?"

Guundia was still a lower world and not a higher world yet, but it's fusing with Dareu? Then will Dareu really experience the 6th Great Cataclysm or regress instead?

Moreover, if it was possible for a lower world and a higher world to fuse, there was no way the four factions would have let the lower worlds be! This meant that this power was only possessed by Yu IlHan...!

"Ah, my head hurts... uwaaaaaaaaaah!"

However, the Akashic Record did not give him any time to sort things. As if the fusion of Guundia and Dareu was just the start, countless messages started pouring onto his eyes.

[The world under your rule, Typhen, fuses with Dareu.]

[The world under your rule, Elyde, fuses with Dareu.]

"This is outside of my expectations!"

"Look, look, dad! Wooow, the dimension is splitting! That's a world we've been to before!"

Were worlds so easily fused like power rangers!? Yu IlHan abruptly widened his eyes, but that was not the end.

[The world under your rule, Terodua...]

[The world under your rule....]

[The world....]

[The....]

"...."

"Whoaa. Woooow!"

The world split and a new world appeared beyond it to expand the land and the skies. From the east, wet, north, south, skies met and created new skies. Really, the world expanded at an insane speed.

Accordingly, the ruling authority Yu IlHan could exercise over the world also increased, but he couldn't even laugh after looking at the transforming world with the expansion of mana, and the newly generating monsters.

"Dad, what do we do now?"

"I don't know either... That's it, elves! I need to protect the elves and wolfkin in this world ! Uwaaaaaaaah!"

The moment Yu IlHan came to himself and started to move, the worst possible scenario he expected had finally occurred.

[The world under your rule, Earth, fuses...]

"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

[The fusion of Dareu and Earth was cancelled.]

"Ah, I can cancel it!"

Yu IlHan was relieved after this brief enlightenment. However, by this point, all the other worlds, except Earth, were being fused into Dareu.

This was the birth of the world that belonged solely to Yu IlHan.

"Oooh shit."

Muttered Yu IlHan with a fresh, vitamin-ad worthy smile. The enlightenment that came when one gave up everything... it was the truth that giving up was good for the heart.

"Hm? Ah, no wonder. The unshakable Heart was activated."

"Dad, I want a skill like that too."

"It's a skill you are better off not having."

The various continents had expanded by tens of times while mountains rose and collapsed, valleys sunk deeper into the ground while their peaks rose, seas dried up while others formed. There was no way ordinary people will keep their sanity in front of such a scene.

However, he didn't dare turn off Unshakable Heart due to the fear of consequences that it will have on him later. Yu IlHan just decided to maintain the skill.

"Anyway... are you guys alright?"

"W, we're fine, Your Majesty!"

[Krrr woof! Woof!]

The elves and wolfkin, who were shocked due to the sudden transformation in Dareu after a long period of peace, were all rescued by Yu IlHan and could not hide their awkwardness.

The rescue method was very out-of-this-world as well, since Yu IlHan activated the magic formation cast over Dareu to make a portion of it rise above so that it won't get affected by the Great Cataclysm, and gathered them there.

"His Majesty sure is amazing."

"Look, look, His Majesty is changing the world!"

"Ooh so beautiful... Dareu is blossoming under the hands of His Majesty!"

Dareu is blossoming under Yu IlHan's hands? Right now, Yu IlHan was just trying his best to control the worlds somehow!

Perhaps what was fortunate, or curious, the ancient elven magic formation that was cast over the Dareu continent, expanded beyond the walls of the dimension and to other worlds and into continents there as well, without any problem.

As if it had been made with expansion in mind from the very beginning.

"At least the ancient elves were prepared for the evolution of the world."

"Dad, fight on."

Of course, the fact that Yu IlHan had raised the potential of the magic formation by upgrading it should have played a big role as well. Though, the final strike should be from the fact that Yu IlHan had become the master of this world....

He was lucky in many ways, he truly thought so.

"Oooh, the world is expanding."

"Monsters are repeatedly being born and dying."

"Ahh... His Majesty has finally."

"... become God."

All locations other than the highlands where elves and wolfkin were on, as well as where Yu IlHan was desperately waving his hands, the world was transforming very rapidly.

Monsters could not endure the overwhelming concentration of mana and aged rapidly before dying naturally, and soon, a new monster would arise from those records as the foundation, before dying again! It was not only the monsters, but nature was the same as well.

"Beautiful..."

"Beautiful, so beautiful."

"And... fearful."

Birth and death was inescapable fate and a flow that could not be denied, but the ones in that flow would definitely not take that lightly. If Yu IlHan didn't separate the ones under him beforehand, they would have met a similar fate, so his actions could be considered splendid.

"Dad, when does this all end?"

"There's still a lot left. Mir, please call the others to never come to Dareu for a while."

"Okay!"

Even while Yumir explained to the others with the communication device, Yu IlHan moved very busily. The fusion of worlds was over now, and so he had to help the ancient elven magic formation to settle and resonate in the world that was tens of times bigger than it was before.

[The skill, Declaration, has become level 23.]

[The skill, Declaration, has become level 24.]

"It's rising so fast even though I have never used that skill before…"

The Declaration skill was a skill that came out from the fusion of the Record skill and the Rule skill. It was also the skill that proved his position as the leader of a higher existence faction.

And right now, Yu IlHan was controlling the magic formation that controlled the world and was absorbing all the records that were being amplified, so he was literally using the Record skill and the Rule skill at the same time, naturally, the fusion of those skills would rise in level too!

"...Well then. Let's try."

The Declaration skill was a skill that realized what he uttered. It was literally the skill that allowed a being to reach the realm of divinity, but the difficult part was that it could only be activated within a certain domain under his rule.

However, Yu IlHan possessed the 'Manifestation' skill, and could activate his domain anywhere and anytime. This was probably due to the power of the title 'Surpasser' that influenced him and granted him a lot of leeway in his evolution.

It wasn't just that. The title, 'Surpasser', made Yu IlHan very free, too free in fact, when he was becoming a higher existence. It made anyone fear Yu IlHan.

'It's too OP no matter how I think about it. All my records and abilities fall into place so nicely.'

Originally, the leader of each faction will receive a tremendous boost in a world under his rule, while giving penalties to all intruders to that world.

This was why the higher existence factions never waged war in someone's main headquarters. This could be said to be the advanced version of the abilities Yu IlHan possessed as a Dimensional Traveler.

However, Yu IlHan himself was influenced by the title 'Surpasser', when he was becoming the Lord of Dragon's Nest, and now had the ability to ignore such cause and effect. In other words, he wouldn't receive a boost just because he was on Earth or was in Dareu, but even if he invaded Heaven or the Netherworld, he would not receive any penalties either.

Then wouldn't it be disadvantageous when defending?

Well, that wasn't exactly true. Because Yu IlHan still has his abilities as a Dimensional Traveler, and could prevent or weaken beings that tried to intrude in his world!

What was even more imbalanced was that as mentioned before, Yu IlHan could activate his domain of control along with the Manifestation skill. This would allow him to take advantage over any leaders of other factions.

This was the reason why he was confident that he wouldn't lose against anyone despite being the lowest in level out of the five leaders.

"Good, then."

Yu IlHan carefully opened his mouth. He felt that the language he was speaking was at the realm of incomprehension with the normal Language skill.

[Let the waters and the lands be separated.]

Streams of water that shot about everywhere were calmed down, and settled down to form lakes and oceans. The land regained its tranquility fused with any nearby pieces. In that process, gigantic valleys and mountains formed, while the original lakes were indiscriminately crushed and sometimes formed a big ocean.

"Ah, Aaaaah."

"How can this be...."

The elves had finally lost it after seeing the world transform under Yu IlHan's words. Yu IlHan was subconsciously emitting bright red flames while ruling the skies and the Earth! The elves who already maxed out their loyalty towards him started to have near fanatic faith.

Of course, Yu IlHan wasn't in such a good shape.

[The skill, Declaration, has become level 26.]

[48% of mana is consumed.]

"Hah, that's insane."

A large portion of mana was instantly drained from him and made his consciousness faint for a moment. Considering that Yu IlHan's mana had increased exponentially after reaching over level 500, 48% of mana was a tremendous amount! However, what was fortunate right now was the state of Dareu.

"Dad, are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm recovering fast."

Weren't disasters occurring because of the overflowing mana? Yu IlHan sucked the mana from various parts of Dareu and could recover all of his mana very soon. Of course, he still had a lot of Declarations to use.

[Let the mana that forms the world be bound to the magic formation.]

[Let the matter that forms the world be enhanced through absorbing mana.]

[Let the lands divide and the forests be widened.]

Through countless processes of fusion and evolution, the amount of mana was increasing explosively, and taking care of all that was a big problem. He controlled the ancient elven magic formation as well as the materials in this world to absorb mana, and to make generation of new beings as peaceful as possible.

[The skill, Declaration, has become level 39.]

"*Pant pant*. This is sooo hard."

"Dad!"

"I'm alright. I think it's almost done now."

Thanks to Yu IlHan draining his psyche and mana by rapid-firing the Declaration skill, forests with trees of insane size, the likes that couldn't possibly be imagined on Earth were formed, as gigantic drops of water scattered outwards from bodies to water to places far away by floating around in the air and everything was absorbing the natural mana.

Many elements that formed the world became large, transformed overwhelmingly and became more beautiful. No other world Yu IlHan had seen before, perhaps save for Heaven, boasted such an overwhelming scale!

"To think it was possible to fuse lower worlds with higher worlds.... Then what about two higher worlds?"

Yu IlHan thought about that. The simulation inside his head was positive. Perhaps it wouldn't be possible for the other leaders, but with Yu IlHan's, albeit incomplete, 'Creation' ability, it would be possible to fuse two higher worlds into a stronger world! This was a cheat that was allowed only to Yu IlHan.

"Dad, I think what you're thinking is insane."

"I also feel scared of myself now."

Replied Yu IlHan honestly to Yumir who narrowed his eyes at him. Of course, he wouldn't do such an insane thing right now. Just Dareu, formed with tens, no, hundreds of lower worlds, was tolling on him, there was no way he had any room to fuse another higher world!

Moreover, even though Yu IlHan had controlled things with the Declaration skill, not all things in Dareu were beautiful and peaceful.

Thanks to Yu IlHan's records, lakes of extreme poison appeared in some parts of Dareu, while burning hell could be seen in some deep crevices, as well as a typhoon of death formed from metallic dust forming a special magnetic field which they spun around, grinding literally everything in its path!

"Wow, a 4th class being will instantly die when they get hit by that."

"Dareu is becoming more and more like dad, so cool."

Only Yumir's eyes shined. Although he had believed from his birth that his father was an amazing man, what Yu IlHan was doing now seemed to be near miracles! If he had any dragon friends, he would boast to them all about Yu IlHan's greatness!

"I want to boast about dad!"

"But as you know, Mir, dragons are now...."

Wait.

Dragons?

"Huh, if Dareu is receiving my own records, and considering that dragonkin were born in Dareu originally…"

Considering that the monsters that were repeating birth and death and the process of evolution…

"Dad...."

Yumir felt it slightly faster than Yu IlHan and muttered with a dreamy face.

"I can feel the existence of dragons."

"...That's true."

Yu IlHan swallowed and replied.

In Dareu, where the biggest 6th Great Cataclysm to date had arrived thanks to fusing with all lower worlds he had subordinated until now.

New dragons were being born.

[I...!]

[Aah, for I have gained life, the bright light of sunshine dawns upon my ego.]

[I can see, I can touch, I can hear. The fragrance of new life, the sweet taste of air... I can feel it!]

As expected of dragons, their cries as they hatched were extraordinary. Perhaps they were the only race whose newborns became emotional at the fact that they had senses!

[Aaaah!]

[My Creator. My Lord who hath bestowed upon me intelligence! I give you my greatest praise.]

Such awkward cries could be heard throughout the continent. Of course, not all the monsters born on Dareu were dragons, but due to the characteristics of Dareu itself as well as the presence of the ruler of all dragons, Yu IlHan, a large majority were dragons.

In other words, around a million were born.

"My word...."

"I think even more will be born soon, dad."

What was even more frightening was that they were not 3rd class dragon'kin' but full sized adult dragons at level 200 or higher. And that was just the minimum level, and there were even more monstrous dragons who were born with levels exceeding 270 or even 280.

"Birth is very unfair."

"Didn't you say that life was like that, dad?"

"Yes, I did."

However, their skill levels would be just as low compared to the ones who had reached level 280 after a long period of time. Yu IlHan just decided to let it go at this point.

Well, the matter that really was unacceptable for him occurred the next moment.

[He resides over there.]

[Our Creator, our Parent.]

[The Great and Shining Ruler.]

"...Wha?"

Yu IlHan voiced out his panic. Minute reactions of mana could be felt from all over the Dareu continent, which now expanded endlessly. These mana reactions were mana vibrations from all of these dragons flying up into the air!

[To the Lord.]

[To the Supreme!]

The dragons seemed to have instinctively felt where Yu IlHan was upon their birth and all started flying towards him. The ones that were born relatively closer arrived the quickest, and the one who were born far away flapped their wings endlessly while calling out his name. The dragons with massive bodies all singing in harmony like that made the others feel nothing but fear.

"What the hell? Are they crazy? What are they up to?"

[Lord is the lord of all dragons as well as my parent. I will meet them firmly.]

Echjar's voice was more serious than ever. He had the feeling that he always had slight complaints towards Yu IlHan in his manner of speech, but now, he sounded very serious and even sacred.

[Lord declared after making me submit. Now that the Lord has really become the lord of all dragons, proceed with them. Do what I couldn't, this is my wish and request as the loser.]

"Your wish and request, you say...."

Echjar was once the Dragon of Despair who terrorized many beings, but even he wouldn't have been so terrifying from the get go.

He should have reached that position through countless years of hard work, as well as his hopes and desires he harbored throughout the period. Honestly, Yu IlHan didn't think much about Echjar before, but he was slightly moved for the first time after hearing Echjar feeling emotional at the birth of the countless dragons on this land.

The dragon that was once colored to the bones with curses and desires could finally recover his original intentions that shone like a bright peart amidst the dark and muddy emotions.

"Yes, I got it."

It wasn't like he wasn't at a loss what to do when all the dragons were calling out to him despite being just born.

However, this was pretty much predestined the moment he became the ruler of all dragons, so he had to take responsibility. Abandoning the dragons that called him father was the same as him abandoning Yumir.

"I promised you when I entered a contract with you, so I shall take responsibility of those dragons."

[You have my thanks.]

Echjar became silent after a sigh of relief. Even all this while, dragons were gathering around Yu IlHan.

Some floated in the air around Yu IlHan while some folded their wings and looked up towards him from the ground. Since this world was very large, the skies stretched endlessly even with hundreds of thousands of dragons joining this fray.

[Father.]

[My father.]

[The great and beautiful lord.]

[He's powerful. Aah, he is truly strong.]

The dragons all gazed at Yu IlHan with admiration. They saw the enormous influence he had on this world as well as the enormous quantity of mana he possessed and the divine power hidden within his small stature. Yu IlHan felt very awkward with the gazes of admiration from a million dragons, but Yumir seemed to like it.

"Dad, they are all weaker than me!"

"Yes, Mir became a lot stronger now."

"I'm happy!"

The reason Yumir was happy was probably not only because he was stronger than the other dragons. He should have a sense of feeling unsatisfied even with all the love he received from Yu IlHan and the others.

Until now he couldn't say his feelings towards Yu IlHan since Yu IlHan was in a hostile relationship against dragons, but the longing for his own kin was a natural thing. And now that so many dragons following Yu IlHan were born, he was happy about that.

"What do you want to do? Say it honestly."

Although they were just born, they were able to move as they wish and were capable of reason as well, so Yu IlHan judged that it was correct to let them do what they want. They all replied to him without hesitation.

[I wish to become stronger!]

[I wish to be with the Lord!]

Well, yeah, it was pretty much set in stone what they were going to say. Yu IlHan only shrugged his shoulders since he expected all this to happen and nodded his head.

"Fine, I will make you stronger."

[We thank the lord!]

A million dragons roared simultaneously. Yu IlHan nodded his head and took out all the meat of dragons from his inventory.

The majority were from 4th class dragons, but there were quite some 5th class dragon flesh, as well as the meat from the 6th class dragon Teraka, and finally a minute amount of the flesh from the Dragon of Despair Echjar.

"This is your first meal. You will have to work out after the meal so you should all take your own share."

The dragons could know that Yu IlHan's 'working out' wasn't any ordinary exercise even though they were born merely 20 minutes ago. As they were beings created from Yu IlHan's records, they could all perfectly understand Yu IlHan's vague, nonsensical words!

[In other words, from now....]

[This is the first mission!]

Countless dragons all flew upwards and burned with passion. The amount of dragon meat which would make them stronger, was limited and there were a lot of competitors, so they could only fight it out!

"But no one shall die. Now, you are all siblings, and those who kill your siblings will not be forgiven."

[Understood!]

[Understood!]

From their brave answers or the advanced flame magic, they seemed to be willing to beat each other half to death.

"You don't need any of that now, do you, Mir?"

"No. The young ones should eat a lot and grow a lot."

Yumir smiled in satisfaction while watching the baby dragons (though, they were huge) fighting each other. The lucky ones to get Echjar's meat should potentially be able to become a higher existence as well.

Yu IlHan felt slightly strange while looking at the million or so dragons waging war for their first meal. The aerial and territorial war filled with countless magic and massive physical clashes was definitely more thrilling than any other battle he had seen until now, but their objective was a mere chunks of food....

"It looks like everyone is hungry."

"It shouldn't be just that though."

While humans eating human meat was an unforgivable taboo, but dragons eating dragon meat was a sacred ritual that continued the will of their kin. They should all understand that.

"What do you think? The meat they want to eat should be none other than yours, you know?"

[It is only useless meat now. If it strengthens my juniors, then I am happy.]

"...Aren't you honest now."

Perhaps it was about time he stopped ticking Echjar off. Yu IlHan shrugged his shoulders and looked back. The elves and wolfkin who had gathered in the highland he had made all had their jaws agape at the massive battle between dragons.

"The huge dragons are."

"Those monsters that I can't even face alone right now, number in the millions... His Majesty is... truly great."

The horrifying dragons that were beings of fear they had to fight against all this time were following Yu IlHan's orders now, it was no wonder it looked very divine for them. Yu IlHan consoled them with a bitter smile as both the wolfkin and the elves were very nervous.

"Those of you who want to become dragon riders should apply early."

"Ooooooooooh!"

There were so many dragons, so perhaps he could get around a hundred dragon riders at least. If they didn't like it, then he would only force it. Yu IlHan decided that inwardly and nodded his head. Like that, the elves could pioneer the realm of dragon riding after wolfkin riding! It was a revolutionary matter, worthy of a notification alarm.

"I did come to Dareu because I feared about what may happen on Earth, but this might have been the best choice I could have made."

Yu IlHan was now the ruler of all dragons, and declared the world of dragons his first territory. Thanks to his characteristics, the lower worlds under his rule even fused with it.

The world became larger and dragons with the highest potential were born. Just that was enough to be called a miracle.

"It seems like it will end soon."

An enormous event such as the 6th Great Cataclysm wouldn't be over just like that, but the atmospheric mana started showing signs of stabilization. Now, the probability of encountering a thunderstorm while walking... will probably decrease. But for now.

"Your Majesty, what are you thinking of?"

One of the elves saw that Yu IlHan was in deep thought and called out to him. He shrugged his shoulders.

"I was thinking about the things I have to do in Dareu in the future. So many things have changed in an instant. You elves and wolfkin will only be able to survive if you become stronger too...."

"We can do it!"

"I like your confidence, but...."

Yu IlHan's eyes could too easily see the monsters being born across this world. The current elves and wolfkin had practically no chance against them.

Would it just be the dragons that were born strong? Large-scale monsters over level 270 were being born explosively across Dareu. Now that the environmental change was decreasing, mana was focused in another direction and the mutation and generation of life forms were being accelerated even further.

"You will need the dragons' help if you want to fight against those frightening beasts."

"We do not dare doubt His Majesty, but can we really live together with such beings...."

The elves were half in doubt. Well, it was no wonder since their only objective was to avoid dragons before. Yu IlHan made a bitter smile and nodded.

"They have all submitted to me and cannot go against me, so the thing you are worried about will not happen again. ...However, you may have to battle more frightening and annoying opponents in the future."

[Krrrrrrrrrrrr!]

"We are always ready! As long as His Majesty is in charge!

The wolfkin were perverse enough to rejoice at the words 'frightening and annoying opponents' while the elves shouted out bravely. Hm, there should be no need to educate them again.

Yu IlHan nodded with a satisfied smile and now looked back towards the dragons. The million dragons had just finished the first brutal war for food and were looking up towards him.

"Then, let's see..."

Checking which ones became stronger, and which ones took Echjar's flesh, Yu IlHan was surprised at the unexpected result.

[Fuu, Khooooooooooooh!]

One of them monopolized all of Echjar's flesh.

"You're quite greedy."

[Father, I wish to become stronger!]

There was one that caught his eye from the very beginning. It was a child that boasted a level of 280 from the moment of birth, and the color of the scales were also bright red and was one that possessed the power of fire, also within Yu IlHan's realm of management.

Of course, now that the red dragon ate Echjar's flesh, its level rose to 294. Its other skills should have grown explosively as well. This was the most blessed birth after the innately 5th class Mystic.

[I wish to become even stronger than this. I wish to win!]

"Good, you will now be the leader of this group. I give you the name, Ruby."

[I am happy!]

Red, and therefore Ruby. Avoiding Yumir's silent gaze that asked if he was too careless with that name, Yu IlHan healed the dragons that were injured. It sufficed to just scatter some potion that was a mixture of dragon's blood matured in the Cradle of Miracles and a little bit of his own blood.

[Father, what do we do now?]

"It will be good to train your innate skills... but for now, fight against the monsters weak enough to not threaten your lives. In the future, your first objective is to not allow any other monsters other than yourselves to rule this world, okay?"

[Understood!]

[We shall follow!]

The dragons all flew in the air like the time they gathered here. When Ruby roared, the dragons all raised their voice in accordance.

[We shall be back soon!]

A loud greeting from the dragons. Feeling like a parent sending off his child on an errand for the first time, Yu IlHan sent them off. It would be fine as long as they didn't die.

"Dad, then what do we do?"

"There's only one thing."

Yu IlHan's eyes glistened. The aftereffects of the Great Cataclysm still remained, while the ancient elven magic formation was still activated. Moreover, he couldn't just let this highland where the elves and wolfkin were standing on stay as a lump of rocks and grass, so....

"Let's construct a city for everyone to live in."

His soul as a creator burned up for real.

I, am your father! (T/N: This was written in English, lol)

Start of book 13!

Translator's notes

Dat title tho

PR: Chamber is dead, I am dead, so only 1 chapter today. 2 sponsored plus one regular in queue. But we might take a few days to clear it off!

As for people wondering why there wasn't much EER in the past few days, Chamber was away on vacation. He announced it a few times but people still didn't know about it, weird>…

While Yu IlHan was orchestrating a similar spectacle to that of the creation of the universe, Yu IlHan's party members were conquering one higher world after another.

[Just what kind of guts do you have to go against a higher existence faction?]

The one that threw out the question with a vicious tone was a 6th class fallen angel Zeàr, the keeper of the higher world Fièta of the Army of Brilliant Light. The majority of the fallen angels had died instantly thanks to the two WMD-level fortresses, and after a few exchanges, he was the only left.

"What do you mean guts. If we really had the guts, we wouldn't be acting like this. We're only taking the initiative because I fear for the lives of my beloved, I am afraid that my precious friends will die, and finally because I'm shy and weak."

Replied Liera. The strongest in the group was naturally Helièna, but she lacked physical might so after Liera separated from Yu IlHan, she was acting as the squadron leader.

"We found that we weren't in a position to be picky. I'm sorry. I don't think we're in the right. Just... think of it as a war. Like how we have always lived until now."

[The high angel who had lost her wings, Liera... do you feel good being a human's dog!?]

"Dogs are more apt for describing guys like you... and could you please call me his fiancée?"

Liera shrugged her shoulders and raised her spear. The deeper the depths of her love reached, the stronger the spear became, and now its attack power had passed 16,000. The fact that her lover had become the ruler of all metal should have also influenced her spear as well.

"Come at me. I'll finish you in a 1 on 1."

[How foolish of you to try fighting me when I retain all my powers as a 6th class while you have fallen.]

"Whether I'm foolish or not will be decided after we exchange a few blows, no?"

[You dare...!]

Of course, even Liera wouldn't just charge in recklessly. She brought up her own magic power and strength using the battle dress, the Feather of Temptation, which Yu IlHan had painstakingly made for her as well as her various accessories. Only after she was blessed by Na YuNa and had the confidence to overwhelm the enemy did she charge forward. It might have been different if she was alone, but she had a lot of people to protect and a lot of expectations to meet.

[You have earned experience.]

"Fuu, that's done and over with."

Minutes after the start of the battle, Liera killed Zeàr and skillfully calmed down the magic power that made the spear vibrate. She collected his corpse as well. Helièna, who was watching from the back, exclaimed.

[My, your fighting figure looks similar to darling's.]

"It was me who taught him the spear so that's quite obvious."

[But how do you feel to be left behind by darling in an instant? Hm? How is it?]

"I love it. I feel proud and satisfied to think that I played a pivotal role that made IlHan the him now. I feel like I'm with a part of him even when we're apart."

[...Tch.]

Helièna tried to make something to tease Liera but clicked her tongue after seeing Liera with a very happy smile.

She didn't have the blessing of the god of love for nothing. Although Helièna felt true love towards Yu IlHan, she was a mere child in front of Liera who had raised her love meter over hundreds of years!

"So this is done. Then shall we go to the next world? It's the Army of Brilliant Light again...."

"What if Satan really does act?"

[If Satan moves, then the leaders of other factions will also move, so that will be the time when all factions will go to war just in order to catch us. And that is precisely what darling is aiming for too.]

"Won't we all die at that time~!?"

Shouted Na YuNa in shock, but Helièna shrugged her shoulders.

[I'm saying that even at this rate, everything will be finished on Earth. And that is why darling's plan of weakening these leaders as much as possible is the correct choice. And you didn't forget about it right?]

Helièna's eyes glistened mysteriously.

[The reason he is making us gather so many records, and the reason he is throwing himself into the most dangerous places is all for his awakening – darling, as a complete, perfect, higher existence, as a leader of a faction... At that time, we do not need to fear the leaders of other factions any longer.]

"Would everything really change at that time~?"

[Of course. ... No, perhaps darling may stand at the highest and most glorious place of all.]

Considering the God that the Heaven's Army is in servitude to, Helièna's words were very rude, but not to mention the others, even Liera and Erta who still had slight beliefs in God's power did not retort to her. In fact, even these two wanted it to be like that.

[And so, lady. When are you going to make the gate?]

Helièna blushed, feeling embarrassed after saying all those lines that praised Yu IlHan and turned her head towards Kang MiRae. However Kang MiRae's expression was quite, no, very dark.

"I'm trying, but the gate isn't opening."

[But lady, your ability is to make a gate leading to other worlds.]

"There's inteference by an external element. I can't even send a message to Mr. IlHan. How, I thought that this ability will not be hindered by anyone recorded on the Akashic Record...."

[...What?]

Helièna asked back.

[Even the artifact darling gave us doesn't work?]

Not only did Kang MiRae's ability get hindered, something was interfering Yu IlHan's artifact when he was the one who reached the highest realm of crafting after the Creator? Helièna checked her artifact, and it was indeed, real.

Liera realized that any communication with Yu IlHan was disconnected and asked Helièna in a trembling voice.

"...Did Satan appear or something?"

[Even Satan cannot block darling's artifact. This is an....]

[Unexpected situation.]

Before Helièna could come to a conclusion, a voice that belonged to neither any in the group, nor any other being in the word Fièta, covered the world. It was a voice that was neither high nor low, emotionless, and an even genderless, dry voice.

[The Fifth faction, Irregulars of the Akashic Record.]

The owner of the voice appeared in thin air. It was an unpleasant-looking creature with a humanoid, but streamlined body, that emitted a foggy light towards all sides.

[Eliminate before they acquire the power to go against Heaven.]

It was just that they had a different characteristic to any other race they knew – three pairs of wings that looked like curtains swaying in the wind, as well as a twisted ring of light that sparked above their heads.

[No way....]

Helièna shivered slightly after looking at that. Erta and Liera as well.

"Is that, an angel?"

"But for it to be an angel...."

[Eliminate.]

'It' raised its part that resembled a human arm and aimed at the Flying fortress. Everyone felt a great sense of crisis, and Mystic shouted.

[Everyone inside the fortress!]

As soon as the others complied with her instructions, a barrier completely covered the Flying fortress in an instant, and at the same time, Kelatuke's metallic armor was spread above it! Just as the metallic armor completely covered the fortress and started rotating, 'it' shot out a ray of light. The ray of light clashed against the metallic armor and caused a massive boom.

[Kyaaaaaaaaaaak, he's damn strong! Insanely strong! What the heck is this, I don't think it's mana!]

"I'll help you! Lady Letyna, we need every bit of your strength, even from when you were drinking your mother's milk!"

"How the heck does a goddess remember her baby days!?"

Na YuNa agitated the holy region and supported Mystic. The power of the goddess was that of recovery and protection! The holy power that filled the entire holy region was absorbed by the barrier to fill the gaps and enhance the quality. Even after all that, it wasn't easy to block that ray of light.

This was the strongest being that they had ever met. What was even more annoying was that they didn't even know the identity of this thing.

"Just what the heck is that monster. If IlHan was here, he would have instantly recognized what that thing is with his Record skill... Eek."

The next moment, Liera realized that she once again relied on Yu IlHan and slapped her lips. Even though IlHan was indeed very great, but she, who was once a peak of one world, was looking for help like a weakling! She bit her lips and raised her spear again.

"No. If we don't know, then we'll only find out, and then defeat...!"

[Let's do this together, ex-angel. I wouldn't dare let you get killed because darling will hate me so much afterwards.]

[Looks like I should help as well.]

Liera, Helièna, and Orochi stepped through the barrier. Even against a monster that shot out rays of light that was equal to Yu IlHan's barrier, their eyes were full of will to battle. Mystic immediately poured out numerous mirrors and protected them.

[Although it should be mana, it feels slightly different so be careful! I will try to analyze and reflect it... but don't trust in the Destruction Mirrors so much!]

"Got it."

The positions were perfect. Behind them were Kim YeSeul, Kang MiRae and Erta preparing magic. Their objective was to discover its weaknesses and restrain its actions rather than dealing damage. The angel-like being with a twisted halo and wings also seemed to notice the aura they gave off.

[Raising the expected capabilities of the irregulars. Loading additional records from the Record.]

It was still blabbing on some nonsense. However, this was for sure. Those thugs that appeared out of nowhere, blabbing on about irregulars or what not in novels or movies were highly likely to be the mastermind that was scheming everything!

"So that means that we're nearing the last boss! Moreover, it is very likely that they are not related to the four Higher existence factions or are related to the foreshadows they gave off all this time, and belong to a completely different organization or individual!"

"Liera-unni is like Mr. IlHan now~!"

[... Raising the danger level of the enemy.]

Even the enemy was shocked at Liera's deduction! However, the situation didn't look that bright either. It was still attacking the Flying fortress even while aiming for Helièna, Liera, and Orochi perfectly.

[Eliminate.]

A ray of light shot out. But thanks to the fact that it said it will attack like a robot from a movie from the 90s, the group could react quite quickly.

[Eliminate.]

"Tch, that's the second one!"

[It's really annoying!]

If their reflexes weren't on par with that of a higher existence's they would have instantly died without getting a chance to dodge. After settling on a target, it didn't seem to be satisfied with just one attack and started to attack continuously. It was as if they were facing against Thousand Eyes. The couldn't find a chance to retaliate.

[I'll make a path.]

Mystic couldn't endure it and sent out the majority of the mirrors at once to attack even more fiercely, but it was prepared for that as well. The halo increased slightly and instantly created a circle around 3 meters in diameter, before rotating around it rapidly to create a shield to block. It was as if it imitated the metallic armor barrier of the Flying fortress!

"That guy's movement is as if...."

Before Liera could tell that to the others.

[Destroy.]

[Kyaaaaaaaak!]

Something finally happened. The curtain wings all expanded outwards at once to shoot out rays of light to instantly destroy a few of the Destruction mirrors! The number of the destroyed mirrors was exactly 4. Mystic shouted in a sobbing voice.

[Noo, Thousand Eyes really became Thousand(1,000) Eyes!]

"This is not the time for jokes! I think he's learning what skills to use off our attack patterns! Even his actions are like the last boss's underling!"

Helièna's eyes shined after hearing Liera's words. She also didn't have much physical might so she was busy dodging all those beams, but if it became more advantageous for the enemy as time passed, then they couldn't keep this up forever.

[Oh my, save up your techniques for now. It looks like this is my turn. Liera, can you make way? Let's get this over with.]

"...Hmph, fine. Follow me, Helièna."

Ex-high angel and ex-Battalion Commander formed a tag team. After Helièna reached Liera through the many rays of light, Liera raised her spear before taking a deep breath and charged at once.

[Priority target of elimination.]

"Says who! The one to be eliminated will be you!"

[A little closer... That's it!]

The spear that vibrated in Liera's hand thanks to her magic power, twisted the ray of light! The shockwaves she used had refracted the light! And Helièna instantly approached it!

[Darling pleaded me you know.... And I'm someone who can't refuse his request.]

This was the moment she concentrated the hardest even since she was reborn under Yu IlHan's hands. Helièna focused all of charm at her fingertips and touched the enemy as it was slightly defenseless after attacking Liera once. The infallible charm against any man, woman or life form, started flowing into him.

[So can you obediently die?]

[Changing priority target.]

However, the reply was very emotionless.

[Eliminating target with the most hindrance to movement.]

[Kyaak!?]

The beam that it shot out pierced through Helièna's abdomen before Liera could do anything.

Author's notes

A new enemy appeared! ... But since Liera explained everything, there's no need for me to explain right!
