?


    The man who was hailed as the Hero and strongest of the current era turned around.


    The Hero''s and Lucas''s eyes met each other.


    Unlike the lightning armour that covered his whole body, his eyes reflected from the helmet were quite calm and tranquil.


    "Fortunately, it''s not toote."


    It was then a low voice emerged from the Hero''s mouth who had been looking at Lucas in doc Frostde for a while.


    "Annihte all the evil demon forces!!"


    With a gigantic shout that echoed across the sky, countless human forces appeared at the end of the canyon that began to rush towards the Demon.


    It was the reinforcement led by the Hero following which arge-scale battle took ce.


    KWANG!KWANG!KWANG!


    "These bastards."


    "I will tear you apart!!"


    Asuka let out a painful scream from Hero''s unleashed blow and rose to his feet with a cry of hatred and anger.


    "Let''s finish this first."


    With those words, The Hero turned his head towards the ck dragon again and grabbed his spear strongly.


    Lightning ovepped it and a bluish me converging on the spear began to melt the surroundings.


    "I will kill you."


    Feeling that the situation hadpletely turned unfavourable, magical energypletely different from before flowed out from his body as if it was trying to pour everything from the beginning.


    The majestic dragon''s body swelled and its body size increased.


    The world seemed to be trembling as tyrannical breath swept everything around the space.


    It then summoned tens of thousands of magical circles and started firing.


    As those bullets were about to reach Lucas and Hero, lightning intertwined with mes hotter than ever erupted and began to swallow the bullets.


    ....


    While an impending sh began, on the other side, the world turned grey and time stopped for a moment.


    [You have cleared the special quest.]


    [You have cleared the quest that no one has managed to clear till now.]


    [The Participant is given the option to quit now or see it through to the end.]


    "Huh!"


    Lucas''s eyes shone with surprise.


    Taking a moment to ponder it asked,"What would happen if I continue?"


    [Participants will witness a special ending.]


    "Only this." Lucas''s lips twitched as he thought that he would get some additional points.


    "Do you think this is a game that I want to stay to the bitter end to see the special ending?"


    [....]


    Seeing no answer, Lucss clicked his tongue.


    Lucas sighed and answered "I want to stick here for now. Let''s see that special ending."


    "By the way, who is this hero? And his proficiency in using mes and lightning is quite good. Did he have a dual ability? I should fork out some information if I could stay towards the end."


    Lucas then closed his eyes and started preparing. His eyes were reced with an icy coldness.


    Previously the Dragon only used three-fifths of its power to fight him and greatly undermined him


    ''''It''s time to repay that bastard.''''


    "Moreover, it feels like ying a VR game."


    "Hahaha! This is too much fun."


    Since The main quest is over, let''s just destroy this body.


    Though Abyssal Asura Art and Wrath of Asura are considered the same and intertwined. There was a thin line between the two.


    While Abyssal Asura Art represents your sword, Wrath of Asura represents your emotion and state of mind.


    Sometimes, even if you hadn''t managed topare the sessive forms, you can use Wrath of Asura and particr emotions of that form to burst with explosive power.


    ording to Sir Harris, only when you reach the level of Mastery can you unlock the 3rd form of this sword art but emotions are different.


    You just need a body that can bear that force.


    "Let me be cruel to this body until it breaks apart."


    "Lucas, let there be cruelty."


    "Hahaha!"


    With eyes filled with madness, Lucas stood up.


    [Abyssal Asura Art]


    [Wrath Of Asura 2nd Form]: Cruelty


    ....


    The Hero, who was blocking the attack suddenly felt a chills and on looking back, his eyes stirred sensing a dense killing intent materialized over doc.


    As their eyes met, as if they had made a promise and understood each other''s intentions in a split second, their image disappeared at the same time towards the ck Dragon.


    Swords and Spear strikes followed immediately.


    In response, ck Dragon spread out hundreds of shields before but this time it didn''t work.


    The attack came from both sides and the power that applied to their attacks waspletely on a different scale from what it was before that astonished ck Dragon Asuka.


    The sword and spear warped in terrifying power advanced, breaking all the shields at once and leaving huge scars on the dragon''s body.


    "Ughhh!"


    "You ants...Disgusting ants.."


    "You dare hurt me."


    "Argh!"


    A screeching roar strong enough to burst eardrums echoed.


    The ck Dragon vomited out a painful scream at the explosion of blood, mes and lightning and saw manyrge scars and gashes forming over his body.


    ''That guy is not in good shape. Let''s finish him off first."


    ck Dragon Asuka, who made a cold judgement created thousands of magical spears and threw them at Lucas.


    Just as all the spears were about to shoot at Lucas.


    "You turned your back at me."


    BOOM!


    As if a meteorite had fallen, The Hero spear shot back at the dragon.


    Even after instinctively defending, the huge body of the Dragon that wasrger than a hill leaned forward as if it were toppled forward by the impact of a huge mountain weighing upon him.


    The new form of Lucas disappeared in a momentary gap created as a result and immediately rushed forward towards the Dragon.


    [Mana Devour]


    [Telekinesis]


    [Drifting Sword]


    [Wrath Of Asura 3rd form]:Brutality


    The mana around the ce swirled around Lucas and Mana Devour was amplified by using telekinesis to pull the mana in the entire ce.


    The entire mana of the region was condensed over Lucas''s de and many white lines of flow appeared in Lucas''s vision as he used a Drifting sword andbined it with Asura Art.


    Tracing a white line converging over the Dragon''s body, Lucas used everything in that attack.


    Swoosh!


    Over the dragon''s body, a line was drawn that seemed to descend from Horizon cutting the scales on its chest.


    With a terrifying shockwave that burst out, the giant body of the ck Dragon leaned backwards again as if bouncing off like a ball.


    Before the dragon could get out of the shock and correct his posture, a piercing spear assaulted him.


    The Hero''s spear which was fired once again pierced through the hard scales and mmed straight through his chest.


    Entering easily through the cut portion left by Lucas, it pierced the heart.


    "Arghhhhhh.....Arghhhhh....."


    Dark red heavy blood burst out and spurted like a mountain dyeing the Hero''s armour.


    A mist of mana erupted as the Dragon''s blood touched his armour and with a strong suction force, the blood was absorbed into it.


    With an endless scream from Asuka''s mouth, a fatality wound begins to form on the dragon''s body causing irreparable damage.


    In an instant, the scale of victory leaned to their side while the majestic dragon had lost all its majesty and started squirming like a dying worm.


    The crazy connection between the two humans was ridiculously amazing but the reason for the victory was an overwhelming force of the Hero that can shoot the entire dragon away in a hit.


    Hero''s spear, which shattered thest dragon power pulled out the Dragon''s heart embedded on his spear.


    "How can I die like this?"


    "Noooooooo! I can''t be killed!"


    Blood surged out from his jaw and his eyes till the end were filled with disbelief.


    It was a very vain ending that was different from the mighty appearance of the Dragon.


    The Hero who looked at the Dragon''s copsed body turned its gaze toward Lucas as if trying to encourage him that he endured well.


    But the words that soon came out of his mouth were far from encouraging.


    "Who are you?"


    His eyes exposed through the lightning were burning brightly as if prating the essence of Lucas in doc''s body.


    After a moment of silence, anguid voice echoed.


    "A friend."


    BANG!


    The armour and sword burst into pieces exposing the bloodied body inside it.


    Lucas vomited blood and copsed onto the floor with rupture veins.


    The Hero''s eyes widened and as soon as he took off his helmet, Lucas burst intoughter seeing long bluish hair cascading down the shoulders.


    "I had a feeling about that."


    "How can it be someone else other than you?"


    "There is only one person throughout history who can take the seat of the strongest and use the spear as a symbolic weapon."


    "Frederick Frost."


    "What do you mean?" The adult Frederick asked cautiously.


    His expression distorted and he raised his spear feeling a bad premonition.


    "Don''t worry I am gonna die now. I don''t have any other intention."


    "So, this is the future where you will be a Hero and be the savior of humanity."


    "Your strength is surely amazing." Lucas appreciated Frederick and at the same time, felt amused seeing Frederick''s confused expression.


    ''So, this was the special ending. An event that happened in the future.''


    "You aren''t doc Frostde. That guy is full of arrogance and refuses to ept my superiority but your eyes are quitenguid and calm."


    Lucasughed inwardly.


    Yes, he was quite calm for an unknown reason. Maybe it is because of doc''s life experience and mature temperament so though he was shocked by the contents, he was able to control his emotion even though his heart was shaking in bafflement while wondering how much of this scenario is real and how much of it is fake.


    "Yeah, I am not him." Lucas shook his head and bent on his knee, asking a question that weighed his heart.


    "Do you know someone named Lucas?"


    Frederick''s brows creased for a moment and his eyes widened weirdly and mncholy reflected over his face while his body seemed to shudder for a moment.


    At the same time, a chime rang in Lucas'' mind.


    [You have ovee the ordeal of ''History of destruction.'']


    [Additional points will be given for witnessing the special ending.]


    The whole world was blurring as the ordeal voice rang in his ears however Frederick''s words still echoed.


    "Lucas, how can I not remember him?"


    "He was someone that was beyond a friend to me and understood my heart, s he died during the starting of second year of Academy."


    "I see. Then take care."


    Anguid yet seemingly trembling voice escaped from Lucas''s trembling lips who was smiling at Fredericks''s odd look.


    "What?"


    "Who are you? At least tell me that?"


    "Why are you giving me a familiar feeling as we know each other and why is your sword art simr to Daemons?"


    The moment Frederick expressed his doubts and asked a serious question, his figure started to blur out.


    [The ordeal ends]


    With the subsequent voice, the entire battlefield was dyed in Darkness.
