(Chapter 81)

After a few minutes of preparing, because Sung Jin-Woo can't still depend on the Super Armor.

He only has six points of Super Gene, with his current Genes, he can only sustain the armor for less than ten minutes.

He's already wearing some items that can go against this place.

Kaisel was recalled and he lands on the ground softly, but as the moment he touched down.

Every creature that near at him snapped their necks to look at him, snarling, as if saying that he needs to go back and he is currently trespassing their paradise with his filthy presence.

"... Oh?~... I like your eyes, guys... Let's see if I can use extraction on you to be in my army..."

Sung Jin-Woo said while his eyes are glinting from expectation to increase his army with a new variety.

Thinking that, if he is successful extracting their shadow, at least he needs to find some creatures that can harness different elements.

"Beru."

The same shadow soldier of the former ant king manifested from his shadow and kneels down facing him.

"My Liege..."

Before looking around and saw the place that his King's friend was talking about.

"Is this the place beyond our universe?"

Sung Jin-Woo nodded to him and asked for his opinion.

"It is. Now, what do you think about the place? Anything worthy that I need to know?"

Beru put his concentration in his senses and took a few seconds before reporting.

"... Nothing so far, my Liege."

'The same as me, huh?'

"Kill those things."

He massages his chin as he ordered Beru.

"Kiiieeehhk!!!"

Beru felt another excitement from seeing another kind of creature and screeches before disappearing from his position.

While Sung Jin-Woo stayed still while hearing multiple voices in his mind that is overlapping from the fast killing of Beru to Ordinary and Primitives.

But only a few Mutant creatures can be heard being killed and a few minutes, the voices stopped before seeing Beru returning to his side kneeling.

"Oh, my Liege! There are few otherwordly presences around the volcano and much stronger presence inside the volcano itself."

That made Sung Jin-Woo stunned and think about this carefully while staring seriously at kneeling Bero.

"Stand up... I don't know but it seems that this is a foolish question... Can you dive inside the magma?"

Beru was stunned but fixated his posture and respectfully explained to his King.

"If this place is inside of the Magical Universe, I can improvise since there's Mana everywhere, but I can't do that in this hellish place that lacking such thing, my Liege..."

"So, your adaptation to the place is much slower? Even for the rest of the guys?..."

"Yes, my Liege..."

That made him scratch his head, sighed, and thought.

'If this is the case, my shadow army is always at a disadvantage all the time...'

Then he remembered the feeling of Tank from the moment it rushed back to him when Shyrveen borrowed his five shadow soldiers from the past.

Even though Tank can freely swim under the water, he was still at a disadvantage because of the numbers of the fishes, a creature that a master while being under the water.

'Need to ask for Hyung-nim's advice since he is experienced hunting in this place.'

"But... Then provoke one of that creature for me."

He needs to try at least one time to know his own prowess in this sanctuary.

"Your wish is my command, my Liege."

Beru nodded and he can feel that undying determination of his King not to back away from such challenge, that making him more admire his human King.

Then Beru flew away from the place while being followed by Sung Jin-Woo.

They reached the place that Beru choose for this one stronger presence, but Sung Jin-Woo keeps his distance and just watch the former ant king.

That's when he was astonished and flabbergasted by such thinking.

Beru knows that he will die the moment he dives inside the magma pool, and so, looked around and found big boulders not that far and pick it up before throwing to the said magma pool and followed by his screeching.

He can feel the changes in its presence but still didn't come out of its hiding and he decided to continue throwing boulders to irritate the creature more while trying to insult by his screeching.

"..."

Sung Jin-Woo facepalmed seeing this and speechless at the same time.

"What kind of provocation is this?..."

But the said creature under the magma pool came out bursting and.

"Roar!!!"

Seeing the big scaled lizard landing with such booming sound on the ground with its four legs.

Sung Jin-Woo doesn't know what to feel, and shook his head before ordering Beru again.

'But seems legit. As long as Beru can do it, I don't mind such actions...'

"Lure it out far from the magma pool."

Beru nodded and picked up much smaller stones but still big for human, but easier to throw by him.

He repeatedly hit the nose of the salamander while trying to tease it with human body language.

And Sung Jin-Woo smiles wryly seeing this but Beru was successful.

The eight feet salamander was thrashing while hastily following the flying insect for daring to disturb its napping time.

Soon, three living things can be seen in the scorched forest before stopping.

With the command of his King, Beru started to get serious and made his body smaller to harness the speed to overwhelmed the lizard.

"Now, come forth, my army."

Sung Jin-Woo's shadow realm extended and his dearest shadow army came out from his back like a small tsunami towards the salamander.

That the creature constricts its eyes and curled up to block Beru's attack and started rolling before ignoring him and went to clash with the shadow army.

But Sung Jin-Woo's eyes constricted too after seeing the rolling creature becoming a bowling ball and made his shadow army back to the shadow realm like bowling pins.

"This!... Iron!"

After hearing the order of his King, Iron sprinted with his big shield that was buffed by Tusk's Hymn of the Giants skill and then bashed towards the creature.

But Iron was pushed back and his shield was knocked back shocking him and Sung Jin-Woo.

Seeing the momentum of the creature's rolling, Igris holding the Demon's King Shortsword stabs the left side, and Beru dove towards the right side with his ten extended claws.

And Sung Jin-Woo heard a loud clanking noises and already knows what it means, making himself forced to move too and dashes forward.

Iron, within the inertia of being knocked back, steps back harder and forced his arms that grasping the big hammer to swing the weapon and bashes the rolling creature to completely stop it.

The creature went back on the ground with its four legs while being enraged and compressed the muscles and wrathfully swing its tail, sending another batch of shadow soldiers to be disintegrated again while creating a shockwave.

Then its eyes glints and Sung Jin-Woo's danger sense is screaming at him, force him to use the Super Glyph, to dodge the burning gaze from the salamander, literally burning everything in its sight.

Sung Jin-Woo is being angry too after seeing his army is being killed just like that and didn't stop running.

With the help of his shadow leaders taking the creature's attention away from him, plus the snake's power to erase his presence with the addition of his stealth skill, he arrived under the chin of the salamander with ease.

And willed the shadow to be his avatar again and summoned the Super Armor, showing a ten feet black armored human, that made an uppercut and flipping the creature 180 degrees in midair.

But Sung Jin-Woo wasn't finished and grabs its neck by his right hand then smash it hard on the ground, cracking and destroying the scorched land.

Then Sung Jin-Woo jumps on its exposed chest and grabs the neck again but by his left hand and willed his shadow right hand to be a sharp blade, and because it is his avatar.

The armor changed too to cover the said body of avatar to what's its appearance.

His shadow army jump on the creature to help their King.

Before Sung Jin-Woo stabs on the chest but only to hear another clanking noise, that made Sung Jin-Woo looked at the said chest and saw the more compressed scales that blocking his stab.

But that won't stop him from killing it, and position the pointed blade in between the scales and activated a skill.

"Mutilate! Mutilate! Mutilate! Mutilate! Mutilate!"

After five consecutive skills, in a single point on the creature's body.

He finally penetrated the body with his makeshift blade but only to sense the same danger again from the eyes that burning with rage while glaring at him as it's screaming from the pain.

As he is grabbing the neck, he forcefully snaps the head to the left and another burning gaze missed him but not the poor scorched forest.

While he can feel the madness within the creature, it just made his became more stronger too.

And aimed at the neck instead this time and another consecutive Mutilate skill was used repeatedly before he finally severed its head from its body.

'Sacred-Blood creature Burning-Eye Salamander was killed. No Beast Soul gained. Eat the flesh of Sacred-Blood Burning-Eye Salamander to gain 0 to 10 Geno Points randomly.'

He feels elated after killing his first kill in this place and put the body inside his inventory but only to be stunned by a sudden scream.

"Skrreee!!!"

"That scream is not good..."

As Sung Jin-Woo mumbles, at the same time, the rest of the Burning-Eye Salamanders woke up and went out of their hiding places to respond to the scream, before sprinting towards him.

That, in just a beat, Sung Jin-Woo saw a phoenix too that flew out of the volcano's mouth and landed on its lips.

The phoenix is showing it's dominance using its wings and with an appearance of burning feathers, a lava body, solidified obsidian beak and claws, and slit pupils inside the sharp eyes.

Then the creatures glared at him before screeching again, and soon, it sends out a silhouette from the air and that's when his eyes became wider after feeling the pressures from the salamanders' increases instantly, even the lower rank creatures in the vicinity were buffed too.

But he didn't have enough time to ponder about this because a big fireball was thrown towards him so fast.

That made him forced to use the Super Glyph while sweating profusely after feeling the intense heat from the flame.

And sprinted away, before looking back again after he steps out of the hellish area and saw the phoenix stops following him and glared at him for one last time before going back and dives back inside the volcano.

The rest of the Burning-Eye Salamanders, used their burning gazes that made him force back farther away from the place before following the phoenix back to the volcano.

["Even the smallest Super creature will still have an outrageous size body compared from the Sacred-Bloods..."]

'Holy bird... That phoenix isn't that big to be a Super creature, but already that strong?...'

"I should note this place and explore more places..."

He is sure he can't touch that phoenix, and can only dream killing it, even his army is at a disadvantage in the phoenix' territory.

Even spending one-fourth of his Mana pool just to kill one salamander and now there's seven of it that were buffed.

'That phoenix should be an Aura-Type Beast Soul... I need Hyung-nim's ice power to drop down the temperature...'

He glances back for one last time, before ordering Kaisel to get away from this place and change direction.

After chatting with each other, Shyrveen and Han Sen reached the school entrance to wait for Han Yan, Han Sen's little sister, to pick her up before going home.

The entrance of Saint Paul was almost blocked by private aircraft, and some of them were deluxe.

Almost all rich people without an aristocratic title would send their children to Saint Paul.

And almost all students here were from affluent families.

Waiting for his sister, Han Sen saw a middle-aged fat guy getting off an aircraft with a flirtatious woman on his side.

He paused, as the middle-aged fat guy happened to be his uncle, Han Lei...
