Chapter 117 – There Are Many To Kill (4)
The students of the academy gathered in one ce.
Yoo Eunchae’s instincts took over.
Whenever there was an incident or ident, she was always there.
Therefore, the children subconsciously and consciously looked for Yoo Eunchae.
Yoo Eunchae responded to that.
‘I need to gather them.’
If her thoughts were correct.
Most of the students here would be in danger of being massacred.
‘No, they will be.’
The current strength of the academy was tremendous.
All the first-year Han Seojin students were ranked in the High Realm.
The second years did not have anyone of High Realm, but many were of Middle Realm.
The third years, known as the golden generation, had two, but they were currently in other families in Korea or abroad, so they were not here now.
‘Ten High Realms. Twenty Middle Realms.’
It was a formidable force.
Any medium-sized group or n could be destroyed by their attack.
Despite this, there was unease.
If the being outside was who she thought it was.
This power would crumble in an instant.
Because the opponent was a demon king.
Even transcendents could be easily defeated, and the Demon King could easily handle those transcendents.
Such existences.
The absolute evil that sought to eliminate humanity.
Regardless, everyone here waspletely rxed.
“Oh, is it finally the raid event? A raid event at the end of the first year…”
“It does seem very academy-like, but now that the terrores, it’s kind of…”
A tone that seemed dissatisfied.
It was understandable.
Yoo Eunchae was momentarily infuriated by their carefree attitude.
How many terrorists had she fought because of them?
‘Thanks to that, the raid event has been postponed until now.’
If there was a problem, it was that the being who should never attack had done so.
Was she too anxious?
Seon Woohyeon approached and asked her.
“Do you know who the entity outside is?”
“…Probably, it’s a guess.”
“Even a guess is fine. Just tell me who attacked.”
She frowned at Seon Woohyeon’s appearance.
While pretending not to, others were listening in.
“Don’t worry. Even though I look like this, I have the blood of the ancestors.”
“…Princess.”
“Don’t overdo it and get yourself killed.”
“You, you! You’re just a strong idiot!!”
The Vampire Princess and Wi Gunak were bickering.
Even while arguing, their ears were turned towards her.
Knowing who the opponent was, this seemed almost luxurious.
‘Should I say it?’
If it was an ordinary opponent, she would say it.
Even if it were a transcendent, she might hesitate but would still have ways to deal with it.
Han Seojin.
It was thanks to his existence that she could deal with the White-Faced Golden Fur alone.
At the moment when everyone’s gaze was focused.
“King of the Insects.”
Yoo Eunchae dropped a bombshell.
“King of the Insects? The king of bugs?”
“Hmm? Is that a name…”
“Do, don’t lie!!”
The Vampire Princess shouted.
Seon Woohyeon was the same. He also looked at her with a nk expression.
There were very few who knew his name.
Demon King.
Most of the worlds they invaded had copsed.
The vanguard of the Demon God.
An evil group aiming to exterminate humanity.
The survivors, the other species revered and feared their power, not even leaving behind a name.
They simply called him the King of Demons.
The problem was.
The presence of an entity whose name was even feared to be mentioned was here.
Kwon Sora.
The only transcendent in Korea.
She had invested a tremendous amount in Korea.
Whether it’s weapons, mana, elixirs, or wealth.
The money invested was astronomical, attracting those from other ces who wanted to contribute with bundles of cash.
A staggering 1,000 trillion won was invested.
They creatednd over the empty sea and made it into an artificial ind.
The transcendent herself concentrated power there and asionally brought news or items from the border.
Even those had astronomical value. Those who wanted news even a little faster offered bundles of money.
There was no way such a ce would be left without any safety measures.
Kwon Sora made a contract with a certain entity and stationed it there.
Just in case strange things decided to attack the academy.
Roar!!
A waterspout.
Seawater rising in reverse.
It resembled a dragon ascending to the sky.
It began to rise backward as a dark ck waterfall.
Roar!!
Something inside screamed. It was a fierce roar.
Dragon.
A mystical being.
Unlike Western dragons, it did not indulge in greed and valued contracts and trust.
Just bing a dragon reached the High Realm, and given more time, it would not be strange for it to be a transcendent being.
Itsbat power was tremendous.
If not properly tiered, a transcendent being would find it hard to handle even one dragon.
There was such a dragon.
The Yeouiju,parable to a dragon’s heart.
Four dragons holding it in their mouths.
The reason why the spirit veins beneath the academy continue to be sustained, and why mana, enough to astonish Han Seojin, keeps being generated.
[Kheut, this is truly……]
Crack. Crack.
Dragon. A divine creature.
They were being devoured as the prey of the Insect Dragon King.
[How, how can the Demon King run rampant like this!!]
[Is the karma of the righteous not activating? Why on earth……!!]
A scream filled with despair.
Regardless, the Insect Dragon King continued to hunt dragons.
[With this, the preparations to face him areplete.]
Gulp.
The Dragon King, who swallowed thest remaining Yeouiju, fixed his gaze on one spot.
The ce where the most mana gathered.
And also, the ce his mortal enemy tried to protect.
[I wonder, will you be able to arrive on time.]
While they all were being devoured by the demons, could you just stand idly by?
Hehehe.
The Insect Dragon King’sughter flowed low.
I boarded the train.
Since it’s within Korea’s territory, it’s a maic levitation train or something.
I heard that it would arrive in less than an hour.
“The train service has been suspended.”
“Why?”
“Due to adverse weather conditions.”
“Tsk.”
Well, if the Insect Dragon King appeared, bad weather was a given.
He appeared along with natural disasters.
Insect Dragon King.
The king of all insects.
When he appeared, the surrounding insects started to rampage.
Those monsters devoured everything in sight.
They devoured mana and anything else. And then they converted it into magical power.
That’s why it was troublesome.
The amount of power the Insect Dragon King could mobilize at once was immense.
‘I haven’t found the Divine Thunderbolt yet.’
The way to tear apart his ck magic.
That’s the Divine Thunderbolt.
A power that shattered, tore apart, andpletely annihted the opponent’s will.
I needed that power.
I had many thoughts whileing here.
Even if I mobilized everything I have, could I kill him?
‘If I use manifestation.’
Time was short.
No matter how much I tried, I couldn’t kill him instantly.
Countless demonic insects were not a problem.
The power granted by the demon god.
It gave him infinite regenerative power.
‘At least twice, I must use everything.’
I could kill him.
I looked at eternity.
Unique Trait, Eternity.
It was the power of time, possessing a unique disposition.
It seemed to have evolved from ‘forever’.
‘Did it really evolve from that?’
The Demon King of Eternity.
It had the power to eternally revive things that were already dead…
I stopped thinking there.
An attendant approached me.
“The train service will likely be suspended for a while.”
The guide nced at my face repeatedly, giving a detailed exnation.
I sighed.
At another time, I might have enjoyed such a reaction, but now time was of the essence.
Just in case, I took out the card the principal had given me.
“Do you know what this is?”
“Pardon? May I take a look?”
The attendant took the card and examined it, tilting her head in confusion.
“I’m not sure.”
“…”
“Just in case, may I show it to someone higher up?”
“Yes.”
The guide headed somewhere. About five minutester, the guide returned urgently with someone who seemed to be of higher status, bowing deeply.
“We’ve confirmed the card. This is Deputy Director Jin Sangseok. I apologize for not recognizing a VVIP guest. Are you trying to go to the academy now?”
“Yes, is it possible?”
“There is inclement weather, but if we use an alternative, it is possible.”
“Alternative?”
“For the VVIPs, if it was prepared, Ms. Kwon Sora’s…”
Boom!!
Before Deputy Chief Jin Sangseok could finish speaking, a huge explosion urred.
It was a massive explosion.
I casted a protective shield with magic over the deputy chief and the guide, then looked towards the source of the explosion.
‘There was no warning.’
Who could it be?
I looked up.
Then, a feeling full of genuine goodwill was directed at me.
“Seojin!!”
There was someone embracing me with a bright smile.
I stopped trying to avoid it.
It was filled with so much goodwill.
‘Who?’
And then, they hugged me.
As expected, if it’s natural, Han Seojin’s body had rtives.
The one called father sold Han Seojin to the demon and gained something in return.
The mother abandoned him for hisck of talent.
She devoted herself to other rtives.
The existence of a younger brother and sister whose names he could hardly remember now.
No one cared even if Han Seojin was kidnapped by someone.
The eldest son of the Iron-Blood Sword n.
Being born in that ce and being the eldest son might have been a dream for someone, but for the person named Han Seojin, it was nothing short of hell.
However, there was someone who supported Han Seojin.
Just one person.
A cousin of his mother.
Practically speaking, they could be considered strangers, but the Iron-Blood Sword n had ambitions.
This was because the person known as his mother hade to the Iron-Blood Sword n as a bride from a ce called the Three Gods n in Japan.
‘Ah, there was Japan.’
The name came to mind.
Maeda Atsuko.
If the one known as the Sword Saint’s sister had earned the titles of the youngest Master and the youngest Grand Master,
The person before him had earned the title of the youngest Transcendent.
It was a case where he was on par with the person called the Sword Saint’s sister but suddenly ascended to a transcendent.
‘She must have gained some great enlightenment or grown her rank with divine intervention.’
The aura she exuded was extraordinary.
She seemed to be a typical transcendent.
‘But isn’t this a problem?’
He single-handedly attacked the head of the Iron-Blood Sword n.
Even if others thought a transcendent intervened, I personally attacked the Iron-Blood Sword n and directly beheaded the head.
If there’s an issue, it would be with the Japanese family.
They might cause trouble for me.
What happened now?
“I’m d. I heard the news on my way.”
“What are you talking about?”
“The Iron-Blood Sword n, which I hated so much. You destroyed it. It’s a bit regrettable that Kwon Sora, that damned woman, got involved.”
“…?”
“No, wait a minute… you, your body…”
Maeda Atsuko fumbled over my body.
With a crimson hue on her face.
‘Is she a pervert?’
As I thought that, she looked at me with a surprised expression.
“Did you, by any chance, annihte the Iron-Blood Sword n all by yourself? No, sorry… that couldn’t be, right?”
A tone filled with peculiar certainty.
[A trustworthy person.]
The person Han Seojin thought of before dying.
If this person had been there, Han Seojin might have lived a different life.
‘Perhaps she couldn’t protect Han Seojin because she suddenly attained enlightenment and transcended.’
As I was contemting whether I could trust this person or not.
Boom!!
An enormous explosion erupted.
I quickly went outside.
And I saw it.
Even from a distance, the clearly visible gigantic ck vortex.
From which dragon-shaped entities were emerging.
‘Insect Dragon King.’
The sight of dragons made of insects guarding something that looked like a fetus.
