Episode 460
In the pitch-black darkness.
A ray of light, which had not yet been detected, pierced Haniel’s body.
The reason was that the divine armor, which could not be even scratched by any weapon, had already lost its original form.
The armor, shattered by the bullets from the gun, looked like rags, and could not stop the Infinite Light Jade.
Pubububububuk!
“… … Ugh!”
As he groaned from the excruciating pain caused by the ray of light that flew in again during his brief thought, Haniel instinctively felt that his end was near.
A growing wound.
Invisible light.
Even the divine power is decreasing.
Feeling that all situations were working against him, Haniel finally resorted to a last resort.
‘… … We must bring the emperors.’
emperor.
A place close to the high heavens.
The world of the Four Emperors.
The emperors who can be said to be the masters of that place.
Emperor of the Giants, the Giant Emperor.
The Dragon Emperor, the Emperor of the Dragon Tribe.
The Emperor of the Demon Tribe, Ma-Hwang.
Emperor of the Celestials, the Emperor of Heaven.
Haniel, who had thought that they could turn the current tilted situation around, prepared for his end.
“Cha Jin-hyeok! I regret not being able to kill you in the past! But… … this time it will be different!”
A scream of rage.
She couldn’t understand the current situation where she had to sacrifice herself for a mere human being, but one mistake was enough.
My heart told me not to, but my head was telling me this was my last chance.
Feeling that further worries were pointless, Haniel stuck his delicate hand into his tattered chest.
Phew!
“… … Keuk!”
Haniel gritted his teeth at the immense life force he felt at the tip of his hand that lightly pierced his heart and took the final step.
“Carigos, Mektak, Zemeg! Open the door!”
Puhwaaaaaaaah!
Carigos, commander-in-chief of the dragon tribe.
Haniel, who had conveyed his will to him, converted all of his life force into divine power and opened a passage to where his nest was.
Kugugugugugugugu-
The sky splits open, revealing the massive entrance to the celestial city of ‘Utopia’, located 800 floors above.
Kik- squeak- kik!
The huge entrance slowly opened and a single being appeared inside.
Five pairs of wings.
Although the number was small compared to Jinhyuk’s Janus state that boasted twelve pairs of wings, the power contained in the five pairs of wings was enormous.
If Jinhyuk’s Janus state is focused on numbers, then the opponent in front of him seems to be focused on quality.
Jinhyeok then put away the Infinite Jade and looked at the other person while holding the flying Tom in his arms.
“Is it the Emperor? Hey, Haniel, on your last journey, you’re leaving a big gift for me.”
-… … Dad, that guy is strong.
“… … I never thought I would see the leader of the Four Emperors with my own eyes during my lifetime. And as an enemy at that.”
Unlike Jinhyeok, who looked more than calm, but even smiled, Tam and Goldrich looked like they were fed up with the Emperor, who was looking down at them without saying a word and boasting of his immense power.
Although his basic abilities are excellent, Goldrich is unable to overcome the innate difference in class even with his physical abilities that have been strengthened through his current gold power.
But Jinhyuk didn’t care at all.
“That’s interesting. That guy almost achieved divinity. A quasi-transcendent being. A state closer to a god than a demigod.”
“… … Isn’t it impossible to win?”
Of one race.
Even though Goldrich asked with a face of indifference at the power of a being at the top of the Four Emperors, Jinhyeok shook his head.
“They opened here in a hurry from their home base. They won’t be able to give it their all. At least 80%. That should be enough.”
“Whew, you really are a guy… … Okay, what should I do?”
The pinnacle of the Celestial Tribe, one of the Four Emperor Tribes.
Jinhyuk was looking at Goldrich with a tired expression as he thought about fighting and winning even in front of the Emperor. Jinhyuk responded with a puzzled expression to Goldrich’s question.
“What are you doing?”
“… … ? Of course, in a battle with the Emperor-”
“He’s my food. And have you ever seen me share my food with anyone?”
“… … This crazy guy!”
And Goldrich, who was barely maintaining his composure at Jinhyeok’s subsequent words, could not hold back his swearing.
To face the Emperor alone?
Where can you find something this crazy?
Especially in a situation where there were so many people who could help, Goldrich couldn’t understand Jinhyeok’s insistence on a 1-on-1 meeting.
For him, a merchant who values efficiency, this situation was nothing more than forcing himself to suffer a loss.
But Jinhyuk was calm.
“I’ll call you if it looks like I’m going to lose.”
“… … The fact that you are so selfish doesn’t change at all. Who will come and help you then?”

“Then why don’t you just die?”
“… … That son of a bitch.”
Goldrich, who had been frowning while looking at Jinhyeok who was calmly saying that he would just die, sighed and accepted the talisman Jinhyeok had offered him.
“I didn’t come here to be a nanny.”
“The situation down there won’t be very good either. It looks like there are other guys coming as well. There will probably be a big impact on the ground.”
“… … Let me check.”
“Tam, don’t fall for Dark and Shine.”
-… … Don’t get hurt, Arachi?
“okay.”
Jinhyeok smiled faintly at Tam, who was unable to shake off his worries about him in a babbling voice, patted Tam’s head once, and saw him off.
“Go now. He’s almost there.”
Kururururung!
The vibrations grow louder, and the entrance to Utopia begins to shake violently.
Now that it was clear that the Emperor would soon appear on the 190th floor, Goldrich no longer hesitated and flew towards the ground.
They also did not have the confidence to face him, who had already placed enormous pressure on them before he had even fully descended.
Jinhyuk looked at the empty space left by Goldrich, who had disappeared, and leisurely waited for the coming of the Emperor. * * *
“Nonsense… … This is impossible… … I, Jemegg, would betray these mere insects… …!”
Jemegg, who boasts a huge body, kneels.
It felt like a mountain was collapsing, but those who created the current results were clearly exhausted.
I wasn’t happy or anything.
All he could do was calmly watch the end of the giants as if he had accomplished what he was supposed to do.
“……great job.”
“… … You, indeed.”
Of course, their calm attitude quickly disappeared in the aftermath of the storm that followed.
Anger and lethargy.
Gil-dong clicked his tongue as he watched the two of them gritted their teeth and tried not to show any signs of exhaustion, feeling the price of using both of their strengths make their entire bodies feel as heavy as water-soaked cotton.
“I said women are scarier.”
“You seem pretty sane, too.”
“… … Haha, even though we’re friends, I can’t lose to a woman. Even so, I’m still called the king.”
“I will be a good king.”
“It’s all thanks to you, Elder. I will not forget the favor of saving Yuldo Kingdom.”
Jean Marceau, who had been watching the women’s fight from afar, looked slightly surprised when he saw Gil-dong slightly lower his head. He smiled faintly and waved his hand.
“I didn’t mean to hear that from you. I was just doing it because someone ordered me to.”
“Even so, the meaning of what you did will not fade. We at Yuldo will always think of you as our benefactor.”
Jean Marceau shook his head as if he had no choice but to look at Gil-dong, who was showing a serious look, unlike his usual rascally appearance.
“I feel embarrassed to say that.”
“Don’t you deserve to be told that?”
Gil-dong, who was laughing, and Jean Marceau, who was looking at Gil-dong as if he found it ridiculous, spent a moment looking into each other’s eyes.
But that was only for a moment.
Kururururung!
Their faces hardened from the vibrations that were so strong they could be felt from a distance.
“That’s… … .”
“… … So this is a way to bring something from another level here. It would be difficult to even make a small door using normal methods… … A sacrifice.”
“If it’s a sacrifice… … .”
“There are many beings like this one we caught. I never thought they would choose to sacrifice themselves.”
“… … That’s a big deal.”
I was even certain that whatever came out of the door that a being of the same caliber as Jemegg had sacrificed himself to open would not be ordinary.
“It’s divine power.”
The two women who had been engaged in a war of nerves came running at Jean Marceau’s words, who immediately noticed the energy coming from the large door.
“It’s my brother.”
“It’s Cha Jin-hyeok.”
Haniel.
Jinhyuk knocked her down, and Haniel sacrificed herself to open the door.
At that fact, the two people ran at full speed, showing an unbelievable appearance that they were the ones who had been fighting just a moment ago.
Gil-dong looked at the two people with a tired face.
“Uh, um… I guess I’m a lot weaker than those two. I can’t do that.”
“Just rest. You might not need our help anyway.”
“… … Haha, thank you.”
Jean Marceau calmly walked towards the door, leaving Gil-dong, who was sitting on the floor with a pale face and using the Yeoui-bong as a cane, behind him. * * *
“Kwaaah! Damn it!”
Asmodeus’s end was tragic.
He struggled with his half-melted body, but it was no use stopping the natural, flowing attacks from Hendrick and Choi Kyung-hoon.
Choi Kyung-hoon smiled bitterly as he watched Asmodeus, who was unable to withstand the pouring attacks, evaporate into a handful of blood.
“I haven’t done much.”
“It was very helpful.”
“I’m not the kind of person who would be satisfied with just that.”
Hendrick looked at the huge entrance that appeared in the sky far away, leaving behind Choi Kyung-hoon’s muttering as he shrugged his shoulders.
Furthermore, the immense power felt within it is also present.
“I’ll go first.”
“The store over there?”
“No, I’m somewhere else.”
“……okay?”
Choi Kyung-hoon, who was looking at Hendrick as if he found it strange, waved his hand as if telling him to go quickly if he was going to go.
Leaving Kyunghoon Choi behind, Hendrick quickly walked away.
-Hendrick, where are you going? I feel a strong energy coming from that direction.
Cheong asked Hendrick a question as he was heading to a different place than where the divine power was felt strongly.
Hendrick shook his head at Qing’s question.
“That’s Cha Jin-hyeok’s. I have to go after what’s mine.”
-mine?
“It seems like the dragon tribe is trying to open another door.”
-……ah!
The commander-in-chief of the dragon tribe, Carigos, runs wild in the distant form of a giant dragon.
Qing looked at Hendrick with a disgusted expression as he sensed that he was trying to create a giant entrance using his Dragon Heart.
-Hendrick is an idiot. Why does he keep moving in more dangerous ways?
It would have been easier to deal with the Celestials together with Jinhyeok and leave the exit from the entrance made by Carigos to Ryuud and Yuriel, but I did not spare my criticism for choosing the difficult path.
“In order to surpass Cha Jin-hyeok, you have to get ahead of him rather than following him or standing beside him.”
-… … I don’t know. I really wouldn’t know even if I died!
“Are you scared?”
-Don’t be afraid.
“Then stay down. It seems that Tom and Goldrich are also going to the surface.”
-… … Don’t die. If possible, don’t get hurt.
“Don’t try.”
Cheong, who had been grumbling but not hiding her worries about Hendrick, quickly turned around and flew towards the ground.
Hendrick, who had been caressing his empty neck, quickly quickened his steps.
“I guess I should be a little faster so as not to be late.”
Looking at Carigos, who had already pulled out the Dragon Heart and opened the entrance halfway. * * *
“Oh my, I never thought the Dragon Clan would choose self-sacrifice.”
“… … It was my fault.”
“Well, it’s not just your mistake. I didn’t know either.”
Ryuud and Yuriel, who had been pressuring Carigos, who had returned to his giant dragon form, hardened their faces as they looked at the crack that was slowly opening.
It happened in an instant.
It was Charygos, who was thought to be crazy, who suddenly ripped out his own heart and created a crack in the tower, opening the door to the world of the dragon tribe, ‘Lair’.
It was natural that the two people could not respond in time, but they could only watch with indifferent faces.
It was just then.
“From now on, I’ll take charge.”
“……you?”
“… … You’ve gotten stronger. For sure.”
Uriel and Lude were surprised to see Hendrick appearing in front of the slowly opening entrance.
Their surprise was natural, as he was quite different from the Hendrick they knew.
But despite their reactions, Hendrick’s gaze was directed towards the entrance connected to ‘Rare’.
“I will cover up your mistakes.”
“… … We can stop it too?”
“You can’t stop it alone. And since this is our mistake, it’s right for us to finish it.”
The two shook their heads as they looked at Hendrick, who was trying to block the entrance alone on their behalf, but Hendrick’s attitude did not change.
“That guy blocked the entrance alone, so I can do it too. I won’t accept any help. If you really need it, I’d like you to help me right before I die.”
“……under.”
“… … I really can’t understand.”
Lud, who looked at him as if he was dumbfounded, and Uriel, who shook her head with a pale face, soon disappeared into the ground according to Hendrick’s words.
Standing alone in front of the large entrance, Hendrick looked straight into the eyes of the giant dragon that had emerged from within the entrance.
“solvent.”
The emperor of all dragons.
Hendrick’s entire body trembled as he faced the being he had so desperately wanted to kill.
awe?
That wasn’t the story.
Shhh-
“I’ve been waiting for this day.”
joy.
The only person present was a young child who had lost his family to the Dragon Clan and had been waiting for this moment.
And Hendrick began to wait for the Dragon Emperor’s arrival, just like Jinhyuk, who was waiting for the arrival of his opponent who looked exactly like him, albeit from a distance.
