The goblin who had been dispatched to the Hall of Ten Thousand Poisons. As the bastard spread both arms, a Poison Field extended out and claimed the lives of two Apostles.
An Apostle at the level of High Apostle lost his life in an instant.
“Keuhuhuhu…”
Seeing the goblin laugh villainously, the early Guardians of Dragon Lair, including Ropenheim, gathered.
“What in the world is going on?”
At his comrades’ shocked reactions, the goblin laughed even louder. As if to show off his strength.
He diligently spread the Poison Field and dealt with the Apostles around him.
“I, the Owner’s right arm, have returned!”
Someone struck the goblin’s head.
“Kyaak! Who the hell are you?”
“It’s me.”
The Orc looked down at the goblin.
“You pig, kneel! I’m stronger than you now…”
“I’m strong too.”
“What?! Why are you strong!”
While the goblin was training in the Hall of Ten Thousand Poisons, the Orc had been trained by the one who was the First Lord of the Forest.
He hadn’t learned everything yet, but at least he was strong enough to not lose against the goblin who had reached a certain level.
“First, explain what’s going on. Who are they? Why did they come here?”
“Hmph.”
The goblin folded his arms and raised one eyebrow.
“They are the Originals.”
“Originals?”
“Beings who were with the Owner from the very beginning.”
“You mean Guardians?”
“At first, yes. But later, they became independent by being able to use Dimensional Power as they wished.”
“What does independent mean?”
“Hmm. Demi-god? You saw the Supreme Apostle that died just now? Think of them as Supreme Apostles without affiliation.”
A powerhouse who could kill someone of that level without any affiliation or faith. There were not just one but several such powerhouses.
With their appearance, the attack of the Three Dragon Gods ended as quickly as it was anticlimactic. Instead of the Hunters and Guardians who were already exhausted from the war with the Red Dragon God, the Original Guardians swept away all the Apostles. No one on Earth could escape their eyes.
A few Apostles fled through Dimensional Gates to their original world, but the Originals were watching. They followed and crossed the Dimensional Gates, instead striking the base of the Three Dragon Gods in reverse.
“The Three Dragon Gods are finished now.”
The goblin twitched the corners of his mouth. After absorbing all of the Ice Dragon God’s energy, he could instinctively tell that he had grown a step.
It was like he could handle Spiritual Energy more efficiently. This enlightenment of Spiritual Energy allowed him to understand the Divine Realm more deeply.
‘Resonance.’
By resonating Spiritual Energy with the Divine Realm, he could amplify his senses. Like becoming one with nature. It was possible to sit in place and explore the Divine Realm everywhere.
He closed his eyes, raised his Spiritual Energy, and spread it in all directions. The Spiritual Energy resonated with the Divine Realm and brought him information. Everything in the vicinity came into view.
Animals running through the forest, Spiritual Creatures still weak in power, gods who had just entered the Divine Realm, those hiding themselves. Among those sensations, one thing stood out.
A being with intense heat. The Red Dragon God.
Because he had inherited everything from the Lord, the Red Dragon God’s energy was very familiar. He used Resonance to observe the Red Dragon God. He was approaching this way, searching for some trace.
He opened his eyes and shifted his gaze slightly. Cold air was spreading around where he sat. A phenomenon that occurred while absorbing the Ice Dragon God’s Spiritual Energy. The Ice Dragon God’s physical body had disappeared as all its Spiritual Energy was lost, but the traces of where it had passed remained.
The Red Dragon God was coming this way following those traces.
‘Has he started looking for me?’
It was impossible for the Red Dragon God to catch him at his level. Yet moving like that meant it was clear he was contacting the other Dragon Gods and plotting something.
Then a contact came from Yoo Seolha.
-Earth Dragon God, Wind Dragon God, and Lightning Dragon God have invaded.
-I don’t know if I can win.
-At this rate…
After that, there was no contact for a while.
‘If worse comes to worst, I’ll escape.’
He wasn’t anxious about the lack of contact. Even if Earth were destroyed, there were two other dimensions. He could just move everyone to those dimensions. Losing one Earth was no big loss to him.
‘They made stupid plans.’
The Three Dragon Gods’ plan was truly stupid. They had raised Apostles for a long time and used the sacrifices offered by the Apostles to grow their Spiritual Energy. So when their support base collapsed, the blow would be huge. But he was different from them.
He didn’t receive sacrifices from the Earthly Realm; he started from the power given by the Lord and grew his strength using things within the Divine Realm. The Black Dragon God and White Dragon God, various Spiritual Creatures. Because he grew his strength with these, even if all the Apostles died, the loss of power was small.
He thought they would at least move with this in mind, but when things actually happened, it seemed not.
Then an additional message arrived from Yoo Seolha.
-Fortunately, we blocked the attack.
-We managed to stop them with the help of the Originals.
-And we plan to launch a counterattack and sweep them all away.
Below that was an explanation about the Originals. The beings he had raised while first playing the game. They had broken their shackles in the Dimensional Gap and reached the Demi-god Realm. With their help, they were able to defeat all the Apostles who invaded Earth.
With this, he could capture all the remaining Dragon Gods.
“Well then, shall I go for the finishing blow?”
He raised the corners of his mouth as he looked at the Red Dragon God, who had sensed his presence from a short distance away. It didn’t take long to capture the Red Dragon God.
After neutralizing him in the blink of an eye, he opened the tightly shut mouth and obtained information about the Three Dragon Gods.
Then he killed him and absorbed all his Spiritual Energy. While turning the Spiritual Energy that filled his body into his own, he used the Blue Cat’s Eye to find the locations of the Three Dragon Gods. Three. All.
‘…The three strongest.’
Their support base was strong, but their innate talents themselves were different from other Dragon Gods.
It was said that even if the Apostles died, they wouldn’t weaken as much as the Red Dragon God or Ice Dragon God. One. Right now, those three were fighting someone else.
‘They’re dealing with those targeting their backs first to catch me…’
Other beings living in the Divine Realm. Especially those who had targeted the Dragon Gods.
The Earth Dragon God, Wind Dragon God, and Lightning Dragon God were fighting them. If they exhausted their strength in that battle, with his current skill, he could easily capture those three and more.
Wooong!
The Blue Cat’s Eye located the Three Dragon Gods. They were fighting someone far away from here.
He jumped through space and moved nearby. He protected his body with Spiritual Energy, erased his presence, and eliminated his sense of existence. He watched from a distance.
Kwoong!
Kwajajang!
Thunderstorms poured from a clear sky, rough winds howled, the ground split, and the terrain changed.
Then from the opposite side, Sword Auras poured out. Swords that cut through the wind, cut through the ground, and cut through the lightning.
Kwaaaaang!
The Formless Energy flowing from the swords targeted the Three Dragon Gods, and the Three Dragon Gods used their own Spiritual Energy to block the attacks. The battle between the two factions was evenly matched.
However, the faction fighting the Three Dragon Gods had greater numbers. Seeing them fight evenly despite the numerical disadvantage…
‘They are indeed strong.’
The tense atmosphere of the battlefield changed drastically as the faction fighting the Three Dragon Gods collapsed.
As they began to die one by one, they collapsed at a rapid pace, and the Three Dragon Gods went on a rampage, putting on a performance close to a massacre. In that process, immense Spiritual Energy flowed into the Three Dragon Gods.
“Kuhahahaha! You’re nothing special now.”
“The origin itself is different. How dare mere humans try to match dragons?”
“It’s a difference in talent.”
Watching them intoxicated with victory, he raised his Spiritual Energy. Even if they were absorbing the enemies’ Spiritual Energy, the energy they had already consumed was greater.
If he was determined to face those three, now was the perfect time.
Wuuuuung!
He quickly gathered and compressed Spiritual Energy and shot it from his fingertips. White and black. The two opposing energies stretched in a straight line, twisting together.
As the two energies intertwined like a braid and resonated, a strong repulsive force burst out.
In an instant, immense light and darkness poured out, dyeing the world gray.
At the moment it felt like the world had stopped, a hole was punched in the Earth Dragon God’s chest, and a massive explosion covered the surroundings, and the stopped time began to flow again.
Kwaaaaaaang!
The Wind Dragon God vanished in an instant.
The Lightning Dragon God and Earth Dragon God looked around and spotted him, then with expressions mixing confusion and anger, they raised their power.
“Who are you?”
“The successor of the being you betrayed?”
“Dragon Lord?”
“Yes.”
If he killed those two, the revenge for the Lord who gave him the power to live a new life would be over, and so would the revenge against those who tried to kill him.
“So let’s finish this quickly.”
He gathered Spiritual Energy again and poured killing intent at his enemies.
Then the Lightning Dragon God and Wind Dragon God ground their teeth.
“How dare a mere human…”
“I’ll devour you.”
Hmph.
Not one of those who had spoken like that had survived so far. The same would be true this time.
Watching the two Dragon Gods gathering the Spiritual Energy absorbed from killing enemies, he delivered the most powerful blow he could use.
Kwaaaaaaang!
All the wars were over. He had defeated all Seven Dragon Gods and stopped those who tried to destroy Earth.
After achieving his goal, a sense of emptiness came over him.
‘What do I do now?’
Until now, he had walked the path of getting stronger to survive and avenge the betrayal of the Seven Dragon Gods. But after achieving his goal, he had no idea what to do.
Occasionally, if someone tried to devour him, he would deal with them, and while looking around and appreciating the natural scenery, there was a limit to spending time like an immortal’s leisure.
‘…I need something fun.’
There was nothing fun in the Divine Realm.
-A league where strong people from each dimension gather is being held. It’s quite popular…
-This time, Balak’s newly developed burger is… really delicious.
-Have you seen this movie? It’s a huge hit.
Occasionally, Yoo Seolha would send greetings and tell him about what was happening on Earth. Hearing it, he suddenly thought.
‘Why don’t I just go?’
There were still many things on the Earthly Realm that he hadn’t enjoyed. Starting with all kinds of food.
Games, dramas, movies, etc. Originally, his reason for becoming a Hunter and wanting to earn a lot of money was to enjoy all those things leisurely.
From then on, he invested time to find a way to return.
And finally, he found a way to go back. He took a position in a remote area no one could find, set up a massive multiple barrier, and opened a path back to Earth.
Wooong!
In front of it, he created a clone similar to a human body and transferred only his mind.
Kkuk.
He moved his body after transferring to the new body, and it wasn’t bad. With this body, he could also move to the Earthly Realm. Even if he spent decades on the surface, not much time would pass here.
There was no risk of anyone finding him, so he could play freely on the surface.
“Well then, shall I go enjoy myself?”
(The End)
