Chapter 798

[A noble of the divine world, Duke Danyu, has been defeated.]

[Experience has been acquired.]

[You have leveled up.]

[All health and magic power are restored.]

[You have leveled up.]

[All health and magic power are restored.]

‘It has improved in many ways.’

Hyeonu thought as he looked at Duke Danyu’s body that was falling helplessly. He had greatly developed compared to the days in the demon world when he had to fight against the nobles with all types of buffs.

‘Not yet… won’t a demon king be hard?’

Even so, he wasn’t confident about winning against NPCs like the demon kings or Lebron.

‘If I can finish it in 15 minutes… I might be able to kill them.’

He didn’t know about Lebron, but there was a possibility of winning somehow against the demon kings that Hyeonu had fought against. The buffs attached to the giants’ holy relics—if he fought during the duration of those buffs, he might be able to kill a demon king. However, Hyeonu was well aware that such a thing wouldn’t happen easily.

‘By the way, why aren’t they rushing in?’

Hyeonu, who had come down to the ground to pick up the items dropped by Duke Danyu, looked carefully at the divine world’s army that showed no signs of moving. The army only organized the battle formations that were disrupted by Tang-E’s magic and didn’t attack Hyeonu.

It happened at this moment…

The divine world’s army split apart like the red sea.

“As expected… my ancestors were right. They said the descendants could appear at any time.”

Then from between them, a man with two white horns slowly walked out.

“I sent him to buy some time… why did he go out and die? I knew that something would happen because he couldn’t get over that temper, but… I didn’t know he would die to a human being.”

The man, who walked out while muttering something, frowned when he saw the corpse of Duke Danyu on the ground.

‘Is it a king? It is more gorgeous than the duke’s horns…?’

Hyeonu instinctively recognized that he was a stronger member of the god tribe than Duke Danyu based on the man’s tone, appearance, and the momentum that was felt.

“Are you a king?” Hyeonu spoke carefully to the man. Hyeonu was conscious of his right hand so he could pull out and wield the Mysterious Sky Sword at any time.

“King? Yes. I am Jeras and I have been given the role of king by the gods to lead the god tribe of the present day.”

Jeras, the king of the god tribe, nodded.

‘The present day? Given? Is the divine world different from the demon world?’

Hyeonu had a few questions based on Jeras’ words. There were a total of seven demon kings in the demon world. It was fitting to say that they had won the position of demon king through a struggle with each other rather than being appointed by the demon god.

‘An appointed position… if it is just one person. He will be stronger than the demon king.’

The balance between the divine world and the demon world—it was a reasonable assumption considering this.

“I have an obligation to clean up past relationships.”

Jeras reached out to Hyeonu. Then a white spear popped out of his palm and fired quickly at Hyeonu. The pure white spear reached Hyeonu in an instant.

Hyeonu naturally struck the flying spear with the Mysterious Sky Sword. A strong explosion occurred. Hyeonu deflected it, but he couldn’t pretend it didn’t exist at all. His body was pushed backwards. The power of the casually fired spear was that incredible.

‘Won’t it be hard to prevent a proper attack?’

Hyeonu recognized the gap between them with just one blow from Jeras. Attacks like the one just now could be blocked or avoided somehow, but there was no guarantee he would be able to respond to a serious attack. Hyeonu still had trump cards left. Then he came up with the best solution out of them.

“Gom-E, come out.”

A small purple bear appeared behind Hyeonu. The purple bear was the magic spirit Gom-E. Every time the magic spirit was created, Hyeonu’s stats would rise exponentially. The first time he got Magic Spirit Creation, all stats were increased by 50% and quite a lot of magic power was consumed. Hyeonu continued to maintain the magic spirit even when a battle didn’t take place. As a result, it had grown more rapidly than any other skill.

“Stay in the back with Tang-E,” Hyeonu spoke without turning to look at Gom-E.

“I know, Master dude.”

Gom-E saw Hyeonu’s rare serious appearance and nodded without complaining. Then he flew toward Tang-E.

This time, Hyeonu reached out to Jeras. Purple pure energy was released from Hyeonu’s five fingers. The purple pure energies moved in different trajectories.

Jeras saw the pure energies approaching him and raised his hand again. Then a translucent veil appeared a short distance from Jeras’ body. Hyeonu’s pure energies collided with Jeras’ shield. The purple pure energies wanted to break down the shield blocking its path and move forward.

This was Hyeonu’s will.

Due to Hyeonu’s repeated pure energy attacks, Jeras’ shield started to crack little by little.

“Hmm…” Jeras frowned when he saw the shield that was gradually crumbling. Then he slowly curled up his outstretched hand. The translucent veil was shattered. The shock of the veil shattering also caused Hyeonu’s pure energies to burst. However, it didn’t end there. The fragments of the shattered veil flew toward Hyeonu.

‘He blocked it like this?’

Hyeonu saw this and swung the Mysterious Sky Sword horizontally without delay. A huge crescent moon appeared in the place where the Mysterious Sky Sword passed. The crescent moon that was dozens of meters in size was shot at the fragments of the veil.

It was defense through offense.

Hyeonu didn’t even care about the result of Crescent Moon Cut. He was convinced that this attack wouldn’t work anyway.

‘There is no answer if I save magic power.’

The most important thing right now was something else. The amount of magic power. Hyeonu’s magic power was unparalleled among players. It was even more than the rankers of the magician class. It was because his magic power stat was high and he had quite a few magic power-related skills.

However, even Hyeonu’s amount of magic power was insignificant now. It would take a huge amount of magic power to stop the attack of Jeras, the king of the god tribe, or to inflict damage from an attack. If this was the case, Hyeonu would quickly run out of magic power no matter how much he had.

‘I will have to move like I did when dealing with a duke.’

Fortunately, Hyeonu had a way to quickly fill up his magic power. It was several times more efficient than taking magic power recovery potions. It was to beat the army of the god tribe, the living magic power recovery potions.

‘It is hard for me to do.’

However, it was too much for Hyeonu to do himself. He wasn’t sure if Jeras would just watch Hyeonu fly to attack the divine world’s army like Duke Danyu did.

‘I have to call Gom-E back.’

Therefore, he needed Gom-E. During the time when Hyeonu was engaged in a battle with Jeras, Gom-E would gnaw at the army of the divine world from the side, taking on the role of replenishing Hyeonu’s magic power.

‘Gom-E, go back and catch those kids from the divine world. Only gently scratch the ones on the outside.’

Hyeonu placed a strong order for Gom-E in his heart. In the distance, Gom-E soared high into the air as he was talking to Tang-E. Then he flew straight to where the divine world’s army was located. A white spear shot at the flying Gom-E.

“Who are you aiming for?”

Hyeonu suddenly appeared and struck the white spear. Thanks to Hyeonu’s defense, Gom-E fortunately reached his destination.

“Seal,” Hyeonu muttered softly while looking down at Jeras, who was about to summon the spear again. A purple light flowed from Hyeonu’s waist and flew toward Jeras.

Jeras concentrated his magic power to prevent the thing flowing from Hyeonu’s body. Even so, it lightly passed through his magic power and clung to Jeras’ body.

“This… what is this?”

Jeras looked a bit flustered by the unobstructed purple light.

[The king of the god tribe, ‘Jeras,’ has been afflicted with the ‘sealed’ abnormal condition.]

Hyeonu smiled at the message that appeared in front of him. This was the second way to deal with Jeras. Seal was a skill built into the belt item that Hyeonu was wearing. It was a skill that would consistently reduce the stats of a particular target for 30 minutes.

‘Giant’s Valor.’

[Giant’s Valor has been used.]

[Your strength stat has increased.]

This was the third trump card that Hyeonu used. The giant skills that had combined into one.

‘For 15 minutes… I am unconditionally ahead.’

Unlike the previous giant skills, Giant’s Valor increased the strength stat by the sum of all his stats. It was a skill worthy of an epic item. Hyeonu pulled out his trump cards and actively stepped out. No, he had no choice but to do so. Apart from the magic spirit, the Seal skill and Giant’s Valor had a duration. Hyeonu would be at a disadvantage if time was dragged out.

In an instant, he appeared in the vicinity of Jeras and swung the Mysterious Sky Sword. It was the same slash, but it had a different force from before. Such a change was best felt by Jeras, who blocked Hyeonu’s strike. It had become ridiculously strong, but Jeras didn’t look flustered at all. He didn’t expect this human to come out this strong, but it didn’t mean he couldn’t deal with it.

“Even if it is strong, it is fine as long as I’m not hit by it.”

Jeras’ movements changed. He wasn’t standing in place any longer.

‘How do I catch this?’

Hyeonu’s expression changed rapidly when he saw Jeras’ movements. His confident expression disappeared and only confusion was left behind.

‘Is he using Blink without a skill cooldown?’

Jeras’ movements were bizarre. He appeared in various places as if he was cut and pasted frame by frame. There was no moving process in the middle. It was just teleportation. This movement was repeated several times in one second. Then it felt like the empty space was being filled with Jeras.

Jeras threw the white spear at Hyeonu every time he appeared here and there. The white spears flew at Hyeonu like a shower. Hyeonu didn’t hesitate to use Land of Mirrors as a shield. As Land of Mirrors was acting as a shield, Hyeonu prepared a counterattack. He used Mysterious Sky Demonic Strength and squeezed out magic power. Dozens of purple lasers emerged from Hyeonu’s fingers and filled the air.

Jeras’ movements stopped. He floated in the air and held out both hands toward the Mysterious Sky Demonic Strength approaching him. A milky white spear came into existence and was placed in Jeras’ hands. Jeras blocked every single one of the Mysterious Sky Demonic Strength with the milky white spear.

At this moment—

A blond-haired man appeared exactly in the midpoint between Jeras and Hyeonu.

“Hmm… It is noisy and I can’t sleep.”

He had a very annoyed look on his face like he had just woken up from his sleep.

Hyeonu saw the blond-haired man and lowered the Mysterious Sky Sword toward the ground. “Liru…?”

His name was Liru. It was the very same Liru who blew Hyeonu to the southern part of the divine world—the sun god.
