Heavenly archer Boreas.
As its name suggests, the Cheongung is a sacred instrument imbued with the power of Boreas, the god of wind.
The four gods, Anemoi (Άνεμοι), symbolize the winds blowing from all directions. Among them, Boreas, which has the etymology of the north wind.
He is the god of the wind, but he is also the god who symbolizes ‘rough violence’.
As its symbol, the violent Yonggwon wind struck the ground without stopping.
And it’s not just one or two.
More than a dozen dragon fists were pouring down in a circle inside the canyon as if it were a shower.
Boom, kwa-leung, kwa-gwa-gwa-gwa!
The small ones start from the thickness of a fingertip, and the large ones go up to the size of the waist of an adult.
No matter where you look, it wasn’t on a scale that could be called Yongkwon-pung.
Probably so. The whirlpools of wind that disturb the eyes were the result of the dragon fist wind being compressed to its limit.
It was a storm with enough power to not only break through the castle gate but also collapse the castle wall in one blow.
Even if you just brush against it, not only will you be swept away, but you will be torn to pieces, and not even your body will be able to survive!
Another nickname that Boreas has.
The name [Storm Bow that Never Misses] did not mean that it would always hit the target.
However, it meant that by destroying the entire area, the target would also be swept away.
Deadly death in a completely different sense.
The air howled non-stop and struck the ground.
Every time, the cliffs on both sides shake and shake violently, as if they could collapse at any moment.
Bang bang bang!
Shock waves spreading and incontinence spreading across the ground.
The shock waves that were applied one after another weakened the ground, and the ground Russell and his team were standing on began to cave in.
‘Is the single strike at least 6 circles or higher? … .’
Some of them even had power comparable to the highest level magic of the 7th circle.
Sigh, blah blah blah.
Cracks begin to spread across the shield, which is a mixture of hexagonal and cubic structures.
Russell frowned as a strong gust of wind blew through the cracks.
‘That’s annoying.’
It was enough to replace the broken shield, but the problem was the enemy’s location.
If I knew where they were attacking, I would try to counterattack or at least come up with a way.
Even though this powerful attack was being poured out without stopping, the caster was nowhere to be seen.
‘where… … ‘Where are you?’
Russell’s eyes quickly scanned the surroundings. Her senses were raised once, forming a more solid shield.
Wow-.
The time it took for the magic detection area of the 8th Circle Archmage to extend several kilometers in diameter was literally a split second.
‘No?’
But the wizard was nowhere to be seen.
It has to be that way.
Contrary to the overwhelming sight, this was not an attack using magic.
An attack using sacred weapons and divine power. If Russell had sensed it, he would have noticed it too.
However, there was no sign of divine power in the storm of the heavenly palace.
‘then… … .’
Russell’s eyes sank deeply as he stared at the pouring storm.
‘Retrace the magic structure and circuit to find the location of the caster.’
This judgment is possible because we do not yet know that it was divine power that created the storm. The reason why Pepper was not sent out to explore was simple.
‘No matter how much Pepper you are, it will take quite some time to find the hidden magician.’
In that case, isn’t it much simpler this way?
If there’s a problem… … .
‘I guess the point is that we have to maintain the shield in the meantime.’
It would take a lot of mental power to analyze and trace back magic of this magnitude.
At that time, Chuck-.
Someone said, putting a hand on Russell’s shoulder.
“Your face reminds me of a method.”
It was Hubert.
“yes.”
“Then try it. “If you’re worried about maintaining the shield, we’ll help.”
“If we were… … .”
Following the puzzled voice, several people’s voices were heard from behind Hubert.
“We too have magic… … .”
“The strength of each person may not be enough… … .”
“At least for a little while… … .”
Voices that cannot be heard clearly, buried in the howling wind.
Nevertheless, Russell smiled slightly.
Because I could clearly understand what they were trying to say.

“Then I’d like to ask you a favor.”
Of course, it would be impossible to completely stop that storm with their strength alone.
However, at least you will be able to relieve some of the burden placed on you.
“Let’s join.”
Starting with Hubert’s voice, various magical powers begin to be overlaid along Russell’s shield.
At the same time, the burden on Russell was also significantly reduced, and Russell slowly took a breath.
“Seup… … .”
Breath drawn deep into the lungs.
The moment you open your closed eyes, a vertically slit pupil is revealed.
He raised his head, his amber eyes shining like jewels.
With dragon eyes, I stared at the storm that covered the sky.
‘Goes… … .’
The moment when the magic power extending from the hand comes into contact with the storm. It begins to spread out into dozens or hundreds of branches.
Pabababat-.
What Russell is trying to chase is the swirling flow of magic power and the link with the caster that exists beyond it.
Following the dissipating magic power, Russell’s consciousness also expands at a rapid pace.
Strong mental power that does not show even a single tremor even in the dizzying storm of swirling magic power.
And analytical skills.
This was thanks to the fact that everyone had achieved a lot of growth by analyzing Hellfire.
How long did it take to wander through the magical power like that? In the end, Russell’s consciousness discovers something connected to the flow of magical power.
‘This… … !?’
Only then did Russell realize the identity of this huge attack and his face distorted grimly.
‘Divine power-!’
I thought it was an unusual magic, but I never would have guessed that it was an attack made of divine power rather than magical power!
‘Tsk-!’
It was the moment when Russell realized the true nature of the situation and tried to quickly regain consciousness.
Something huge begins to flow from the thin string.
Kwagwagwagwa-.
It was the divine power of Boreas residing in the heavenly palace.
The divine power left behind by the North Wind and the God of Violence formed a strong torrent and rushed towards Russell.
It’s already too late to regain consciousness, boom!
Russell’s consciousness collided with Boreas’ divine power, and for a moment, pain as if his mind was about to fly away came over Russell’s mind.
If I hadn’t gritted my teeth, my consciousness would have scattered and disappeared.
That wasn’t the only aftereffect left by the clash with divine power.
Grumble-.
“────Week!”
Blood was vomited out from the blow that went beyond the conscious body and into the main body.
“Priests!”
“majesty!”
Hubert and the other wizards shouted urgently, but there was no time to worry about that.
If I let my guard down even for a moment, my consciousness would be lost to violent divine power.
‘Are you saying it’s not an ordinary miracle?’
The deity itself is a fairly high-ranking deity, so much so that it is called the Wind God of Olympia.
Moreover, the divine power contained within the sacred device was also unusual.
It is incomparable to things like Arachne’s sewing machine.
‘To respond to this level of divine power… … .’
Russell will also have to give his all.
However, if you do that, the shield will disappear and not only your own body but also the magicians around you will suffer damage close to annihilation.
A desperate situation.
Meanwhile, Boreas’ divine power was ravenously toying with his body in an attempt to devour Russell’s consciousness.
The will has disappeared, and only strength and violence remain. In that guy’s eyes, the spirit of the 8th Circle wizard seemed like delicious prey.
And right then.
Something deep inside Russell opened his eyes.
[???]
As if stimulated by Boreas’ divine power, it stretched wildly and roared.
‘what?!’
The thing that came out of Russell’s mind opened its mouth wide.
I bit into Boreas’ divine power.
─────Qua enemy!
.
.
‘This-!’
The moment the power that emerged from within himself bit into Boreas’ divine power, Russell was able to realize the identity of that power.
‘divine power… … !’
It was divine power.
A divine power that is much more arrogant and powerful than that of Boreas.
But was there any basis for that arrogance?
──────Qua enemy!
The divine power that protrudes from Russell’s body with an eerie sound of flesh swallows up Boreas’ divine power, and expands in size along with it.
The divine power that had rushed out returned to Russell’s inner self, and the newly awakened divinity spread throughout his entire body.
Wow-.
A golden glow faintly circles around Russell and then disappears.
The same light as the dragon that appeared above the barracks the day before. In it, Russell speculated on the reason why he possesses divinity.
‘Dragon God King.’
The ruler of all dragons, and at the same time a revered god.
I am the descendant and successor of the Dragon God King. It would not be strange if he inherited divinity.
‘The reason was… … ‘Is it then?’
The moment when I tried to imitate Brahmastra and capture at least a fragment of it.
An explosion occurred at that moment.
Perhaps this divinity has been in his body since then.
As evidence, the letters [???] were distorted and a new alarm appeared.
[I awaken to my divinity as a dragon emperor.]
Meanwhile, Russell quietly moved his finger.
When I look up, I see that the storm that was covering the sky above the canyon has disappeared.
It is a storm maintained by divinity and divine power.
Since that divinity has been torn away… … .
‘There is no way the storm will remain.’
He had no idea what changes the divinity within his body would bring about in the future.
However, what had to be done at this moment was clear.
Sze-.
Russell turned his head. Just before the collision with the nova occurred, I clearly saw the direction in which that power was connected.
“buy… … my?”
Hubert muttered in a shaky voice as he saw Russell’s appearance, which seemed to have changed a little, and even seemed subtly awe-inspiring.
“I’ll be gone for a while─.”
Before he could finish speaking, Russell’s new model disappeared from the spot.
“—I will come.”
As if echoing, Russell’s last voice was scattered in the wind.
.
.
“Wow!”
The man, who was clutching his heavenly palace in sudden pain, fell to his knees on the spot.
The man’s name was Philip Mason.
He was the eldest son of a famous Mason archery master in the Empire.
An emerging powerhouse who has not yet reached the level of master, but may reach the level of master within a few years.
Moreover, his father was the only bow master in the empire.
Isn’t that also the reason why he possesses a sacred weapon called Cheongung (天弓)?
“young master!”
“—Master!”
As he collapses, clutching his heart, those hiding in the darkness appear and surround him.
Meanwhile, Philip’s fingertips were shaking.
“What the hell, that was just…” … , what… … .”
It was as if they had even borrowed their sacred equipment to make a mark upon the news that Endymion’s bastards might attack the logistics here today.
“What the hell is this…” … .”
A gibberish voice.
It was worth it.
For an instant, the immense pain that had come from Boreas had ruthlessly ripped through not only his heart but also his brain.
What followed was a feeling of helplessness, as if my soul had been ripped out.
He was connected to Boreas through the spirit. Since Boreas’ divinity has been mercilessly ripped away, his spirit will not be safe.
It was that moment.
“Yes, master. Cheongung?!”
At the shout of one of the attendants, he raised his head, drool flowing from the corner of his mouth.
“Che, Cheongungi… … Why is Cheongung… … ?”
The huge bow that seemed to be made of silver was seen turning into black ash and crumbling.
“Oh, this can’t be happening. A family heirloom… … Why is it so exciting… … ?!”
It was the result of the disappearance of the divinity that had maintained its existence as a sacred device.
“This can’t be happening. “This can’t be happening!”
He was distraught and moved his hands urgently.
I tried to sweep up the scattered ash, but there was no way the shattered divinity could come back.
And the next moment.
“You were here.”
A chilling voice was heard cutting through the wind.
