Episode 465
“… … Hmm, it’s definitely worth eating.”
Jinhyuk wiped his mouth with a satisfied smile as he looked at the traces of what had once been the emperor.
As the name Emperor suggests, the Emperor was a powerful enemy, and to be honest, it wouldn’t have been strange if he had died.
Nevertheless, the price paid for victory was truly valuable.
Kurururung-
“… … I think I’m going to get a stomachache.”
Stomach.
To be precise, the price was the insane expansion of the divine power that had taken hold in my inner world.
Of course, it would soon be split and turned into magic, but even so, it was not a small amount.
Jinhyuk’s divine power, which is currently over 600, fluctuates greatly, so it would be stranger to have less.
“It’ll be around 100. If split into magic, it’ll probably be around 50.”
When Jinhyuk’s body gathers divine power, half of it changes into magic energy, creating balance.
The opposite is also true.
It is regrettable that it is only half as efficient, but considering the energy that resides within Jinhyeok’s body, Jinhyeok had to value balance more than quantity.
If this balance is broken, Jinhyuk will face pain worse than death.
Jinhyuk, who had finished thinking that far, began to crush the divine power and magic that were revealing itself again as his size grew.
Kkuddeuk-
Jinhyeok’s energies, led by Youngryeok, suppressed the opposition of magic and divine power.
The various energies that Jinhyeok possessed clashed internally, crushing his magical and divine powers.
The mana consumed in large quantities while making the Philosopher’s Stone, the energy of the other Four Emperors, and the magical and divine powers that were moving and writhing according to the will of the subject, Jinhyeok, were calmed.
[Magi: 608 (+293) -> Magi: 658 (+293)]
[Divine Power: 608 (+293) -> Divine Power: 658 (+293)]
“… … Not bad.”
The result was exactly as Jinhyuk had expected.
The magical and divine powers that increased by exactly 50 did not go against Jinhyeok’s will, and soon became quiet.
Of course, that wasn’t the end.
[The user’s display stats are approaching 1,000.]
[From now on, the user’s stats (magic, divine power) cannot be affected by the tower.]
[Instead, the tower grants you stats based on the estimated effects so far.]
[Currently settling… …]
“What is this?”
For a moment, I was bewildered by the message that appeared before my eyes.
“… … You’ve grown this much already.”
Jinhyuk smiled faintly as he looked at the magic and divine power that had grown to the point of knocking down the wall of divinity.
It’s not that the effects of the tower can no longer be pressed, but it’s even more so because you’ve been told that you have to pay a price for it.
The additional stats shown in the status window were not as great as they appeared, and the fact that they were not Jinhyeok’s was always a problem.
But now, at least, he could say that the magic and divine powers were completely his own and not just a status screen, so the smile on Jinhyeok’s lips grew deeper.
[Settlement has been completed.]
“You came.”
Jinhyuk received the settlement results while hearing the familiar voice of the system.
[The stats for magic and divine power are calculated to be 38 each.]
“… … Hoo, not bad.”
38.
If you look at the absolute numbers, it is not a high number at all, but Jinhyuk’s current divine power and magical power are 658.
If 38 goes up here, it will be a whopping 696, barely touching the 700 mark.
“It turned out well. If it had gone over 700, it might have been a little difficult.”
Even if it is a huge bowl, there is a limit to the amount of water it can fill.
The current limit of Jinhyeok’s large vessel was approximately 700.
Since Jinhyuk himself is well aware of his limitations, he is satisfied with this settlement.
Because the magic and divine power that barely reached 700 was stopped just before overflowing.
When Jinhyuk finished thinking that far and was about to finish by tapping his chest.
“Take it.”
“… … ?”
Sweeeeek!
Jinhyuk unconsciously accepted something that flew in with a familiar, calm voice.
“… … Dragon Heart?”
“It’s the dragon’s. A dragon heart of that size would be a sufficient price.”
“Huh, so you finally caught it?”
“Do you think I can’t do what you did?”
Dragon Heart of the Solvent.
Hendrick calmly accepted Jinhyeok’s grumbling and smiled faintly.
“Let’s just say that this is the price you paid for your efforts.”
“… … Tsk, you’re just using other people’s strength. Are you trying to brush it off with this?”
“I will soon repay you by using your power better than you.”
“… … This is interesting. It shows that a counterfeit can’t beat the real thing.”
“Let’s just say that the world is wide and there are places where the fake beats the real.”
“… … This kid doesn’t say a word.”

After arguing for a while, Jinhyeok bit Yongje’s dragon heart with an annoyed face.
Crunch!
Jinhyuk nodded in satisfaction as he felt the enormous mana and dragon power filling his body along with the pungent taste of blood seep into his body.
[Power: 406 (+138) -> Power: 561 (+138)]
“Around 150… … Not bad.”
Unlike magic and divine power, the previously low dragon power has grown considerably.
150.
Jinhyuk lightly pressed his chest as he looked at Yongryuk, who had not only broken through the 500 barrier, but had also made strides toward the 600 barrier, and lightly expressed his gratitude.
“Thank you. Thanks to you, I ate until I burst.”
“I’m so full… … There’s still so much to eat, are you planning on stopping?”
When Hendrick asked Jinhyuk, who had finished consuming the Dragon Heart, Jinhyuk shook his head with a sly smile.
“No way. Normally, there are separate stomachs for food and dessert.”
“… … That’s just like you.”
“Okay, now that we’ve finished the appetizers, shall we go and enjoy some dessert?”
Appetizers.
Having devoured the Emperor and the Dragon Emperor, Jinhyeok’s next target was the Four Emperors who were spread out evenly across the battlefield, which was a perfect target for his appetite.
And Jinhyuk, who was acting as if he was about to run towards the ground at any moment, stopped in midair and looked at Hendrick and said.
“The power you possess. I will eat that too someday. Until then… … Until then, keep it safe.”
“… … You seem like a greedy guy. I’ll wait. But I won’t give it to you easily. Take it and risk your life.”
“of course.”
The Demon King’s Jealousy.
Jinhyuk, who showed his strong determination to make it his own someday even though it was too oversaturated right now, smiled brightly and shot roughly at the ground.
Hendrick watched Jinhyeok’s back as he quickly walked away, rubbing his stiff body as a result of using up too much of his jealousy.
“… … That crazy guy. Even though he may have used borrowed power, the resistance from the power he used must have been just as strong as mine, so I don’t know how he can move so easily.”
Hendrick’s body is not human, but of a dragon.
Nevertheless, the aftereffects of the change brought about by the power of the giant dragon were by no means small.
Even the sturdy body of the dragon clan became stiff like a log, and it was impossible to stop the pain from spreading throughout its body.
Jinhyeok was no different from him, but Hendrick nodded slightly, convinced that he still had a long way to go, as he could move so lightly.
And soon, Hendrick’s body also descended to the ground to chase after Jinhyuk.
It was a moment of disaster for the Four Emperors on Earth who had remained on the ground and hoped that their leader would bring victory. * * *
The battlefield on the ground was tense.
No, it would be more correct to say that they forcibly kept it taut.
“Ugh, hang in there! Don’t get pushed around by a bunch of exiled people!”
“Eww!”
“Our emperor will soon come to our aid!”
The pride that comes from the name of the Four Emperors.
Relief that the emperors of each race will soon come to their aid.
They were mixed so well that they barely managed to keep the momentum going.
But unfortunately, what awaited them at the end of their wait was not salvation, but despair.
thud!
“What, there’s still a lot left?”
“……how!”
Because Jinhyuk, who had fought against Haniel, appeared on the ground after defeating even the Emperor.
From the moment Goldrich and others joined the battle on the ground, they began to be pushed back.
However, the biggest driving force that allowed them to endure was the thought that the Emperor and other emperors would soon descend to Earth and defeat their enemies.
However, it was natural to be shocked when the emperor, who was expected to help, was nowhere to be seen, and only the enemy leader showed up.
But despite their shock, Jinhyuk did not console them.
“Predation.”
“… … Kwaaaaak!”
Jinhyuk, who was exhausted to the point of exhaustion, only used the most basic prey and stirred up the battlefield, but no one could stop him.
There was no one in the Four Emperors who could maintain their sanity in the midst of the horrific scene where body parts were torn off as soon as they touched the ground.
“Eww… … Eww… … Ewww!”
“Run away!”
“It’s a monster!”
“I’m going to get eaten. I’m going to get eaten!!!!”
The faces of the Four Emperors turned pale as they saw their own kind being eaten alive right before their eyes, and the climbers who saw them escape were also bewildered.
“What… What is it? Why are they running away?”
“Hey you motherfu*kers! What are we going to do if you call us and run away alone?”
Most of the climbers gathered here are here because of their connection to the Four Emperors.
However, it was natural that their will to hold on until now would crumble in an instant when the Four Emperors who had called them ran away among themselves.
“… … Damn it, jump out!”
“Survive on your own!”
“What the hell is this!”
In the end, they too chose to join the fleeing procession.
Hendrick, who joined late, stuck out his tongue as he watched the tense battlefield crumble in an instant.
“It all falls apart in an instant when you realize there’s no one to help you.”
“I’m fine with it. It’s easier to eat if it falls apart like that.”
Gulp- Jinhyuk swallowed his saliva and lightly released his slightly stiff hands, concentrating the power of predation in them.
Jinhyuk, who saw a mouth full of sharp teeth sprouting from the power of predation that had begun to dwell in both hands, rushed towards the fleeing enemies.
Kkwadduk!
The moment arrived for dinner.
To be precise, it is a dinner time that is only for Jinhyuk.
