“Tsk—.”
Russell wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, spitting out the blood that had accumulated in his mouth.
I adjusted the firewood spear I was holding in my hand.
Grumbling-.
The battle that took place within him was at a level that could never be said to be easy, even with empty words.
The dragon made of light, unlike its huge size, was agile and had physical power to match.
No, it’s not just physical force.
He even used his divinity to counterattack from time to time, but each time, Russell’s attacks were in vain.
‘Something that can definitely cause damage… … Is it just a decisive battle?’
This is probably because the decisive battle that Russell uses contains the divinity of a dragon emperor like the dragon of light.
And that wasn’t the only thing I found out.
Every time he used his decisive battle or every time he struck a blow, the guy’s size was shrinking little by little.
Perhaps it was because part of his divinity was being taken away during the decisive battle.
‘It’s not such an unlikely guess.’
According to my guess, the true identity of that dragon was a chunk of his own divinity.
Isn’t it natural that consumption decreases? However, the problem is that one cannot be sure whether one’s strength will run out first or the bastard will give up and obey.
‘Perhaps it’s because they’re trying not to lose their divinity, but their struggles are getting worse.’
As evidence of this, maintaining the decisive battle was becoming increasingly difficult.
It is not simply because it consumes a lot of magical power, but the divinity that forms its source is not being supplied properly.
‘tug-of-war.’
Russell defined the current situation this way.
Which comes first, whether you get tired or your divinity is taken away from you first?
A tug of war with divinity at stake.
Crrrrrrr-.
Although it is slightly smaller than before, it is still a menacing size and lets out dragon sounds.
“Do you think it will be easy for you?”
The moment Russell, who had raised his fighting spirit in response, kicked off with his toes!
────────────Bang!
A shock wave exploded in an oval shape, and an explosion rang out half a beat late.
Russell’s new form, which became the red thunderbolt itself, struck the back of the dragon at once and swung its fireworks spear.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
What followed was a fierce and grueling fight with no end in sight.
A fight between a person who wants to steal and rob, and a dragon who wants to be defeated before doing so.
How long did the skirmish last?
Hours, tens of hours, days.
As the battle continued, forgetting the passage of time, it was Russell who became the winner of the close battle.
Quad Deuk!
The moment the Hwacheomchang penetrates the back of the guy’s head, chains of flames spew out from all directions, binding the guy’s body.
The decisive battle, a binding device that changed the shape of the cage of the Kowloon Myth Bird!
Clap la la rock-!
The bastard struggled wildly against the chains of flame that were constricting his body.
Crara lara-!
He twisted his whole body and rolled around, trying to throw Russell off.
However, despite this, Russell did not take off his chains. Rather, he only supported his body by gripping the hilt of the Hwacheom spear, which was the center of it, more tightly.
‘Tsk-!’
Every time he shakes his big body, the entire space shakes as if it will collapse.
The feeling of barely being able to mount a wild horse running wild with only one rein attached. No, it would be better if it was a wild horse.
Because this was a dragon bigger than a mountain!
And finally, boom-.
The dragon’s large body fell down with a heavy sound.
He seemed to be out of breath, as if he had used up all his strength. The size of the dragon was also reduced by two-thirds compared to the beginning.
“Huh. Heo-eok-.”
Only after confirming that there was no further movement did Russell let go of the spear holder he was holding.
The sight of the hand bursting, oozing fluids, and seeping blood comes into view.
Although it is not as good as the Sword Master, it is a body that has been trained in its own way.
Even with the wizard body and magical power added to it, these wounds.
It was a passage that proved how much Russell gritted his teeth and endured.
It was then.
Woe!
The large figure of the fallen dragon was engulfed in light.
“… … !”
The size of the dragon rapidly decreases, and the light that made up its body begins to flow into Russell’s inner self, wrapping around his entire body.
Hwaak-.
A feeling of unprecedented power washing away all the mana load from the body.

It’s not something we’ve been using so far… … It was the divinity of a complete dragon.
.
.
“Cough-.”
Russell opened his eyes thoughtfully with a dry cough. The clock, which seemed blurry, gradually returns to its original position and the senses of the body begin to awaken.
The feel of the gritty sand along the back, the cool wind blowing, and the sky that looks white rather than blue.
unfamiliar… … no. Somewhat familiar.
“… … .”
Anyway, it was the sky I had seen once, the sky of the divine world.
“… … “Have you woken up?”
Russell muttered helplessly, and an answer came from right next to him.
“huh. The complete subjugation of divinity. congratulations. descendant.”
“Ancestor… … .”
When I turned my head, I saw Kim Hyun-seong sitting in his seat, looking at himself with his chin resting.
“So how do you feel?”
“If you feel like it… … ?”
“I feel like I have obtained the divinity of the Dragon Emperor.”
“well.”
Although I was mentally exhausted, I felt vitality running through my entire body.
An unprecedented force was circulating throughout my body.
A power different from magical power, this would be divinity.
Its size and amount are almost comparable to the amount of magical power it originally possessed.
‘hmm?’
That wasn’t the only change that occurred. A ninth circle was created above the eight circles.
“It should have gone up already, but it stopped due to a clash between magic and divinity… … “It’s natural to be in the 9th circle.”
Kim Hyun-seong shrugged his shoulders as if it was no big deal, but Russell didn’t.
Circle 9, also called transcendence, allows humans to escape the bonds of mortality and rise to the rank of transcendents.
It is a level that no one who walks the path of a wizard can hope for.
Even that has been cut off since the mythical era… … A state that can only be seen in dreams.
That level was Circle 9.
But he never thought he would end up in the 9th circle. The degree to which it touched me was different from the divinity that I had only vaguely felt.
“Transcendant.”
Russell muttered and stretched out his hand toward the sky.
I clenched my fist tightly.
“uh… … .”
It was immediately after that a trembling voice was heard.
“I don’t plan on hitting the mark, but strictly speaking, you are a little different from ordinary transcendents.”
Kim Hyun-seong muttered while scratching his head as a habit, and Russell opened his eyes in surprise.
I was worried that I might not have reached complete transcendence yet or something like that.
“It’s not like it’s half-hearted or anything… … Anyway, it’s a bit special.”
“What does it mean to be special?”
“You are a transcendent, but unlike ordinary transcendents, your body contains divinity, right?”
Therefore, rather than simply expressing himself as a transcendent, he is called a Demigod.
Or, it would be more correct to say that he is a half-god or a human being.
Hyunseong Kim explained it that way.
“hour… … .”
“… … ?”
“How much time has passed?”
In my experience, it felt like the battle with the dragon of light took several days.
In response to Russell’s question, Kim Hyun-seong spread out one hand.
“Has it been five days…? … ?”
“no.”
Russell’s face hardened at the answer that followed. If not five days, then five hours?
But something was strange.
No matter how differently time flows inside than outside, I felt that five hours was too short.
“Five months.”
“─!”
I thought a considerable amount of time had passed, but I never thought it would have passed that much.
If we were to exaggerate a bit, wouldn’t that be almost half a year?
Russell, with his eyes wide open, forced himself to stand up.
Is it because I haven’t moved my body properly for five months?
Or is it because the mental fatigue still clearly remains?
It was most likely the latter, but in any case, this was not the time.
A cultist who wore the emperor’s guise.
Vlad Draculea.
The damning cry he left behind at the end was floating around in my head like a ghost.
─If it’s just this one, measly victory, I’ll give it up to you. Starting today, I will be reborn as a completely different being!
In addition, the existence of a foreign body that split the sky and appeared in the material world.
─You evil spirit! Your apostle is right here!
A wicked god.
Its divine name is unknown, but its title was extremely ominous.
In addition, his body size was incomparable to that of the foreigners he had encountered in the spirit world.
It was clear that he would boast a level of strength that was probably as different as his weight class.
‘That small foreign body was enough to destroy the spirit world by itself… … .’
If he descends properly, it is certain that this material world will come to an end.
Five months since then.
Even if there was a problem, it would have happened long ago.
“This is not the time to be like this.”
Kim Hyun-seong pressed Russell’s shoulder as he tried to force himself to stand up.
“are you okay.”
“… … ?”
“You probably didn’t think that time in the divine world and time in the material world would flow the same way, right?”
“That means… … .”
Russell trailed off and Kim Hyun-seong wiggled his fingers as if he was counting something.
“Roughly, five days here would be equivalent to one day in the human world?”
Five days is one day.
In other words, about a month had just passed in the human world.
It’s still not short, but it doesn’t seem as long as before either. Was the material world really okay during that time?
Kim Hyun-seong clapped as if he would not give Russell time to think about such things.
“Okay, I think you’ve had enough rest, so let’s move on to the next step.”
“next stage… … “You mean?”
“okay. I told you earlier. He said he would teach him how to manipulate divinity. “Now that you have awakened the divinity within your body, shouldn’t you know how to use it?”
After saying that, Kim Hyun-seong stood up and brushed off the sand dust from his clothes.
“Of course, there is nothing better than practical experience in learning. Did I tell you last time? “I prepared a gift for you.”
He then looked around at the doors on all sides of Einherjar’s Colosseum and shouted.
“come in!”
At the same time, the sound of footsteps echoes beyond the iron gate.
Jeopuk, Jeopuk, Jeopuk-.
Footsteps heard out of sync.
Not one or two, but at least dozens.
Kim Hyun-seong said with a happy face while listening to the footsteps.
“I have gathered the gods of this god world to train you.”
Before entering Einherjar.
This is exactly what I asked Thor to do.
Olympus and Asgard.
And all the way to Erin.
Gods from each god world were flocking to the inside of Einherjar.
Jeopuk, Jeopuk-.
