Chapter 290: The one who gets the last laugh – 2
#1
Monsters were rumbling in.
Not just rumbling in but with all kinds of hatred and malicious walls of fear were crowding in. Not one of them were easy opponents, each one of them had 9 or 10 tiers of mana capacity.
Woooooooo….
Weeeeeeeee!!!
Shwoooooo…..
L, Al, and Baeklin’s hand glistened brightly.
All three of them were prepared with their best techniques.
And the moment the three’s hands shot out forward, a light ray brighter the sun shone out towards the advancing monsters.
Kwaaaaa!!!! Kuuuuuu!!!!
The best attack poured out by the three crushed and pushed out the monsters mercilessly.
These were not simple killings. Their attack literally melted the monsters to their nuclear level. If it weren’t for their protective magic by the dragons… It was an extremely heated h.e.l.l a human cannot bear.
The light from the magic pouring down revealed the interiors of the 49th floor.
But…
“ARGG!”
When Baeklin saw the scene in the light of the white dragon, which was the most powerful flamethrower method, he got too shocked and mixed up and his magic was released. It’s a better sight not to see because of the darkness. The 49th floor was not the usual pa.s.sage they’ve seen so far. It was a huge hall with a very high ceiling. It was twenty meters in length and was such a place where thousands of columns supported the ceiling.
The end of the s.p.a.ce was nowhere to be seen. The problem was… the whole s.p.a.ce was being filled with huge monsters. No, they were not monsters.
Each and every one of them was second to the dragon.
L and Al’s eyes were badly distorted. What they’re pus.h.i.+ng away was just a part of the monsters. There were even more powerful things waiting for their turn. They looked at them with an arrogant look as if they were mocking them.
“L! Take care of it for a moment. I’m going to put myself into the main body!”
“Okay! I’ll be back when you’re done!”
Until now, the narrowness of s.p.a.ce did not allow their dragon bodies to be taken out, but this s.p.a.ce was big enough. No, even if they cannot take it out, they have to now. Even in their real physical form, they were not confident in dealing with these monsters.
They were in danger of burying their bones in a foreign land.
Al’s eyes slowly turned into the eyes of the dragon’s slender reptile shape.
“Everybody stop the attack and fall back at my signal.”
That was when it happened. Jaehw.a.n.g, who was staring at the monsters without joining the attack, said as he pulled out his arrow from the Infinite Storage. It’s a calm tone that didn’t fit in the situation of absolute danger.
“Are you crazy!?” Baeklin shouted, who was sweating and cleaning up his broken blood energy. Those were not just monsters, what’s lurking behind that darkness was far beyond him. It was hard for him to maintain his consciousness just to look them in their eyes. But instead, Jaehw.a.n.g was telling them to back down.
Even the dragons were trying to delude themselves, but they wanted to stop attacking and fall back. They wanted to shout, “Aren’t you suicidal?” but Jaehw.a.n.g was the one who said that, and he wasn’t kidding.
“Can you do it?” Cried L, even she didn’t think this man could handle the situation by himself, but Jaehw.a.n.g was adamant.
“I don’t say it if I don’t mean it.”
In his composed answer, L exchanged glances with Al and nodded towards Jaehw.a.n.g.
Jaehw.a.n.g, who once turned his shoulder, posed.
This was the standard posture of an Archer, this was the stance that he had taken thousands of times. It might seem like a futile move, but it was proof that Jaehw.a.n.g was as cautious now as he always had been.
“There’s no time to waste here.”
It was a situation where he must overcome the limits that he tried not to go beyond.
Goongi also begged him not to cross that limit. Once leapfrogged, it’s hard to come back. To transcend human limitations… to unlock the seal of ability as a G.o.d that was forcibly limited to the human body.
A red aura rose like wildfire through the body of Jaehw.a.n.g.
The red aura, which rose as if to burn his whole body, gathered toward the center of Jaehw.a.n.g’s body and gathered again towards the top of his head. All of his mana came together and a little later…
POWWWWW!!!!!
A red flag roamed around Jaehw.a.n.g and then exploded.
Sensing something unusual, the powerful creatures began to break loose and rush out. They felt it too.
That it’s dangerous…
But Jaehw.a.n.g’s attack had already begun.
“My name is…”
Wheeeee…..
“I…”
Pow Pow! Pow Pow Pow!!!
“I am!!!”
Wheeeeeeeee!!!!
All the energy came together to a point and gathered in Jaehw.a.n.g’s arrow.
“The one who commands annihilation! He who knows everything! The G.o.d of Ma.s.sacre! It’s Jaehw.a.n.g!”
It was the moment of his life.
#2
Even though it was very deep underground, a gust of wind swept through.
The wall of the dungeon, which was never destroyed, had thousands of long furrows dug in as if huge claws had scratched through. The gorges, which filled the s.p.a.ce that were not enough to be described by the word “huge” all had one starting point and a man that stood with a bow in his hand as he followed the end.
He touched the bowstring in his hand without a word.
There was nothing wrong with the bowstring, but it was like a habit.
The voices of two men and women were heard from behind him as he was taking a deep breath after putting his bow into the infinity storage.
“Now… I’m tired of being surprised. L… how did you get involved with such a monster?”
“I know right? If I ran into myself back in the past, I would beg her not to be a.s.sociated with such a monster. Or, maybe we are lucky because we’re alive because of him? Either way, this guy is completely frozen,” L muttered, glancing at Baeklin, who was sitting on the floor.
Baeklin, who came to his senses at the remark, glared at L.
“What are you looking at?”
“Nothing.”
Baeklin turned his eyes. The only reason they were now well-behaved was because of Jaehw.a.n.g. Without Jaehw.a.n.g, the dragon had no idea what he would do.
Of course, L and Al were also very surprised inside.
They tried to hide their reactions, but the energy from the monster standing in front of them carried a dangerous scent that would go beyond mere fear and dissipate even the basic desire for life that one would have.
“It’s hard to believe that he still maintains that human form.”
It was a dangerous divinity filled with only an absolute death that could entail.
However, it was not enough to maintain the human skin, he even seemed to have kept his persona intact. People with strong power would inevitably lose that feeling. Getting closer to the truth meant that even the distinction between good and bad becomes meaningless. His existence itself was a contradiction to be able to maintain a human figure even with such strength.
“Let’s go,” Jaehw.a.n.g said.
“Ye-yes.”
Everyone unconsciously nodded at Jaehw.a.n.g’s simple words.
Yes, the battle was over. That one attack… No, it would be a correct expression to call it a history of G.o.d. The moment that attack was over… There were only four of them living in that huge community. All the rest were wiped out by the mercy of the G.o.d of the ma.s.sacre.
Only the sound of their footsteps reverberates loudly as they walk through the empty s.p.a.ce.
After some time they stood at one door.
Even in the midst of many years, it was a metal door that had not been burnt at all. There were many ancient words written on its surface.
“Dimensional field management… prohibited except for authorized personnel…”
L, who interpreted the ancient language, tapped all over the door with her fingers.
Without a common handle, the door was immovable.
“It looks like we can’t open it.” L frowned.
With magic, L surpa.s.ses Al’s abilities, but this door was impenetrable. While she was debating if she should use force to open it, Baeklin came forth.
“I’ll give it a try.”
“Sure, try it out.” L stepped down in a slightly sarcastic tone at the mere prospect of a human solving the problem that even the great dragon herself could not solve but as he approached it, Baeklin looked around the door and nodded.
“The Comfort of the Past.”
A wave of light came from the door and soon gathered together. It had a similar figure to a human being. Standing at the door, it said in a slightly unfamiliar voice, “Erakkush-ite.”
Then came the illusion of the door opening and being pushed aside. After a while, the light faded away and Baeklin said towards the door, “Erakkush-ite.”
Shhhhh…
Then, the door opened with a buzz to the side effortlessly.
Baeklin, who shrugged his shoulders, looked at L with a bruised expression.
“What does Erakkush-ite mean?”
“It means, ‘open up."”
“That wasn’t much.”
It sounds like nothing, but in L’s ear, it sounded like ‘DRAGON, don’t you know that?’ Of course, this was a small revenge of Baeklin about what happened earlier.
“Let’s go in. We don’t have much time.”
But L missed the right time to get angry. Jaehw.a.n.g opened the door first and went in.
Then, Baeklin followed with L panting, and Al shrugging and then finally going in.

“It’s been a while since I’ve walked.”
Ruler walked in appreciation of the unfamiliar sensation in his feet.
“Are you going to Earth, too?”
“Isn’t that obvious? That’s why I chose his Earth.”
Originally, Ruler agonized between Elus and the Earth.
Elus, whose blessing of Mana power was the most powerful of the three dimensions, and Earth, whose technological advances were different from magic; both have different charms. But after meeting Jaehw.a.n.g, he chose the final destination for Earth. He was intrigued by the fact that the world had the capacity to foster such power.
“You must be perfectly prepared, right?”
“Yes, they won’t notice. Only you and I, who have the essence of the ancient people, know how they can be used if they twist a little bit of that dimension of device they touch.”
The essence of the ancient people…
It was a comprehensive information system used by the ancient people.
The Earthlings call it SAVE, but they said it in a more intuitive way.
“b.l.o.o.d.y, I’m not coming back.”
“If you don’t come back, you’re still my only master.”
“Whoa, this is how it feels to be shy, It’s not bad.”
Ruler walked with light steps.
He must now be fully attuned to his body.
Even if he was a Ruler, time was fair. Since he had changed to such a weak body, he had to be more careful even if he was in a hurry.
But his idea was soon changed by an unexpected variable.
He stopped walking, then, he staggered and clutched his chest.
“Oh, my…”
“What’s wrong?”
“I must have underestimated him.”
“Huh? No!”
The immortal monarch also belatedly noticed the situation.
Something completely unexpected had happened. He thought they could at least grab their ankles, but he was wrong. In a blink of an eye, all of them disappeared. That meant only one thing, they’ve all been erased in a flash.
Those were the 20% of the Dark Earth’s creatures.
The ability to wipe out 20 percent of that power at once…
The rest of them were gathered in front of each Dark Earth gate…
“He can’t keep me at rest,” Ruler laughed.
