Episode 201
Heaven (4)
A flash of intense heat passed by.
It was a short enough time that it could be described as a moment or the blink of an eye, but the results brought about by that short time were absolutely terrible.
Crackling.
Not a single tree was left behind, and all the trees were reduced to ashes, and embers still remained on the ground, burning the dungeon.
The air burned and the earth melted.
In one word, hell itself.
There was no longer any trace of holiness in the place where the angels lived. However, the corpses of the remaining angels showed that there had once been an angel here. Even then, only a few corpses remained. Most of them were burned without even leaving any bones.
There was not a single entity standing on two feet in the dungeon. Not only the lower-level angels, but even Ludvikael, the leader of the angels, and Jeong-do were nowhere to be found. There was only a crater bigger than the rest where they were.
Wiggle.
A small change occurred in the hellish landscape. The ground shook in the center of the crater.
Puhak!
The ground began to tremble, and soon a figure appeared there like a mole.
The figure barely managed to get up off the ground with shaky arms and was breathing heavily.
“omg… omg. how… this. Even… not… ”
The identity of the seal that appeared was Ludvikael, the leader of the Elyos. She could not speak properly, perhaps because she had been seriously injured or because all the air in her air had burned off.
Her condition was so dire that anyone who knew her would never recognize her if they saw her now.
Her beautiful hair and eyebrows, which looked as if they were made from melted rubies, were all burnt off, and her face was also half-melted and looked hideous.
The pure white wings, which did not allow even a single speck of stain, were also completely burnt. All of her feathers had burned off, and only her six remaining wing bones showed that she was a Chiangel, the first rank of the heavenly world.
She looked like a devil, not an angel, but she had no time to worry about her appearance right now.
‘What kind of magic was that?’
She thought so as she cast a recovery spell on herself. The situation that had just occurred was beyond her common sense to understand.
‘Even divine flame magic is like this… ‘
Ludvikael slowly looked around. Although she had lived for many years, this was the first time she had seen such a cruel sight. The fiery hell that exists in the demon world probably isn’t like this either.
It’s not that there were no magics that could exert this level of power, but they were all magics that took a long time to complete. It wasn’t something that could be achieved by just showing off one’s spirit like that person did a moment ago.
If he hadn’t instinctively cast Mana Barrier, he wouldn’t have been able to avoid death either. When he thought that, his body began to tremble. And he perceived reality.
‘I’m defeated.’
Apart from her, there was no living angel. Ludvikael was capable of taking over the Earth on his own even without any troops, but that was only if he was in good health.
For now, simple basic magic was all that was available. Ludvikael chewed his lips and prepared to return to heaven.
‘huh?’
Just as I was trying to create a gate to return to heaven by squeezing out mana, I felt the energy of life not far away. She began to trace her feeble energy with a feeling of disbelief.
“… “I’m alive.”
No one can survive that attack except yourself… There was only one person. Her face was distorted like a demon.
The energy was felt from beneath the ground. She canceled her gate magic and then concentrated her mana again.
Red mana began to accumulate in her hand, and as she swung her hand, the ground in front of her caved in, creating a hole.
And there was a man lying unconscious in the pit.
The man who fell was, of course, calm. Her whole body was bright red and her whole body was covered in burns. However, compared to Ludvikael, it was in very good condition. This is because <Dragon Blood Awakening> had already been activated once to heal the wound, and the <Transcendence Regeneration> skill was also working properly.
However, even those two skills could not prevent fainting. The fainting was not caused by a wound but by rapid mana consumption.
In fact, Apollo’s sun chariot was not something that could be summoned carelessly, even by Apollo himself. In order to properly summon the sun chariot, approval from Zeus, the owner of Olympus, and a key to the sun palace where the chariot was stored were needed as a catalyst.
However, Apollo, losing his temper, ignored the procedure and forcibly summoned the sun chariot. As a penalty, he was only able to summon a small part of the sun, and a huge amount of mana was consumed. This was the reason why he could not handle <Summoning the Sun Chariot> no matter how much he drank the elf’s tears.
“dare!”
An angry Ludvikael raised his hands. No matter how hard it was for him to control himself, he had to deal with this guy and go. He will then pull out his brain and take it to his laboratory. Maybe he might catch a clue about this incredible magic.
Just as Ludvikael made that decision and was about to reach out for the fainting sight.
An unfamiliar man’s voice came from behind her.
“Tsk tsk. From what I can see, the ending was awkward again. “When will one person do their part like that?”
“What?!”
She looked back in surprise. There was a middle-aged man with bushy black hair and a beard.
“Who are you?”
“I don’t know anything about that. Oh, just in case, don’t you have any intention of quietly surrendering and being captured? “No matter how much he is a teacher, it is a bit unseemly for him to take what his student was eating.”
“What nonsense… ”
Ludvikael’s words did not last until the end. This was because Cheok Jun-gyeong’s silver sword was aimed at her forehead.
She was startled and canceled the magic she was planning to use on Jeong Do, instantly building a mana barrier. Her transition was so smooth that it was hard to believe it was the work of a mortally wounded being. She too, so much so that she can’t do it if asked twice!
however.
There was no meaning.
Cheok Jun-gyeong’s sword cut through the mana barrier as if it were splitting tofu and flew into his forehead. Ludvikael’s eyes grew so big that they could not get any bigger.
And that was the last sight she ever saw.
Deep.
Cheok Jun-gyeong’s sword pierced Ludvikael’s forehead. It was the vain end of a heavenly first-ranking angel. When the sword was pulled out, blood spurted into the air. Cheok Jun-gyeong grumbled.
“What a shame. “It would have been much more fun if it had been in perfect condition.”
He went into the pit without paying any attention to Ludvikael, who was falling down. And then he put his arms around him and grumbled once again.
“As I get older, I wonder if I will take care of my students…” No, but why is it so hot here? “Has the sun fallen?”
Cheok Jun-kyung, who answered correctly without realizing it, left the dungeon.
* * * * * *
When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was the familiar ceiling. As he was staring blankly at the ceiling of his room, Cheok Jun-kyung spoke to him next to him.
“Are you awake?”
“yes. “Seeing that I’m alive, does it mean that Master saved me?”

“I didn’t do anything in particular. “I just carried you around after you passed out.”
“is it so? “At the end, some crazy guy went crazy and I fainted for a moment, but luckily it seems to have worked out well.”
Jeongdo said that and raised his upper body. Seeing his muscles screaming even though he only moved a little bit made me feel resentful toward Apollo. The good news was that there were no visible injuries due to <Transcendent Regeneration>.
“Aren’t you hungry? When you are weak, it is best to eat first. “Once you eat it, you can do the rest through spirit.”
“I’m hungry, but… Master. You can’t cook. “I’ll just drink some water.”
Even in the wireless world, Cheok Jun-gyeong only ate monster meat roasted over a fire. No, even if he was good at cooking, would he be able to use a modern kitchen?
Cheok Jun-gyeong got up from the sofa after hearing those words and headed to the kitchen. Then he opened the refrigerator, picked up a bottle of water, and handed it to Do. It felt natural, as if I were the owner of the house. Jeong Do looked at Cheok Jun-kyung with a blank expression.
No, is this really a human being who had no contact with scientific civilization until recently?
Cheok Jun-kyung went a bit further and sat down on the sofa, turned on the TV with the remote control, and started watching.
“… … .”
“Why are you looking at me like that? “Is this your first time seeing someone?”
Even though humans are creatures of adaptation, isn’t that a bit too much? At least I gave up trying to understand and drank some water.
At that time, Cheok Jun-kyung, who was giggling while watching TV, said to Jeong-do as if he had just remembered it.
“Oh, I brought something important with me. If you look there next to the bed, it will be there.”
‘Next to the bed?’
Jeongdo looked at the side of the bed with water in his mouth.
“Phew!”
I just spit out the water in my mouth. He could only stare blankly at the side of the bed, not paying any attention to the water running down his chin.
The body presumed to be Ludvikale was neatly laid out there.
When Do-do was speechless and looked at Cheok Jun-gyeong, he opened his mouth as if it was no big deal.
“I brought it because I remembered something you told me in the wireless world. Are you saying that the corpses of those winged things are very useful? It looked like he was the boss, so he brought only him. How do you feel? “Isn’t he the perfect teacher at this point?”
“Is it possible that you came all the way here carrying me and this angel’s corpse?”
“Then where did you put it? “Of course it will be around.”
“… … .”
It would have been better if I had put it in a sack.
Jeongdo prayed that no one else witnessed the body being transported.
Jeongdo let out a short sigh and quietly opened his mouth.
“Ixia.”
<Yes! Master.>
“Absorb that. And is it possible to extract coordinates?”
<Of course! Please trust me that I have been upgraded. It won’t take that long.>
Golden mana was released from Ixia as she said that. The golden mana that came out of the ring enveloped Ludvikael’s body next to the bed. Ixia burst out in astonishment.
<Gasp!>
“what’s the matter? “Is there a problem?”
<Oh, no. It’s so delicious that I can’t stop… Black. I don’t have eyes, but I feel like crying. I think it’s even more amazing than the Orochi I ate back then.>
“… “I’m getting really tired.”
Jeongdo once again buried his face in the pillow. Then she closed her eyes and fell into thought. Even though we won, there were quite a few things worth reviewing in this battle.
‘Transcendence God level. The risks are significant.’
The abilities of the transcendental gods were very attractive, but they did not work as expected. Is it because it is the only being in the entire universe? Each of them had such a strong individuality. In particular, in the case of the Olympus gods, there was a tendency to do this because there were many cases in which the myths were original myths.
I was lucky this time, but what if I load a god like Apollo next time? Even then, there was no guarantee that I would be lucky.
‘Let’s avoid the gods of Greek mythology as much as possible.’
The moment Jeong Do decided to activate the reward roulette loaded with Achilles and Apollo, a notification window appeared in front of him.
Tiring!
<Special faction: Activated by the ‘12 Gods of Olympus’.>
<All abilities + 50>
<If you load more than 7 of the 12 gods, the faction will be fully activated.>
<All abilities + 150>
<Special Skill: Can be used by the 12 gods of Olympus. When using this skill, you can use the hidden skill of one of the 12 gods without any penalty.>
List of 12 scenes loaded so far.
<<Zeus>, <Poseidon>, <Hades>, (Apollon), (Hephaestus), <Aphrodite>, <Artemis>, <Athena>, <Ares>, <Hestia>, <Hera>, <Hermes>>
It was too great a reward to scold them, saying, ‘From now on, I’ll skip Olympus!’ The 150% increase in all abilities was a bit of a scam, but the special skill was very attractive. Because it meant using things like <Sun Chariot Summon> without penalty.
‘I can’t help it.’
I saw something like this and I couldn’t just ignore it.
Just as I was making up my mind to see the damn Olympians just five more times, Ixia spoke up.
<Master. Absorption completed!>
“oh. already?”
A considerable amount of time has passed since Ixia absorbed most of the parts, and Ixia succeeded in absorbing most of the abilities of the parts as her own.
Accordingly, Ixia’s specifications have also increased significantly, and compared to the past where it took several days to digest even a single Orochi, the digestion speed has also increased dramatically.
“So what are the coordinates that lead to heaven?”
A low angel is the highest peak of angels. Of course, the coordinates he knows must be those that lead to the heart of heaven. At least I wanted to end the fight against Heaven as quickly as possible.
However, Ixia’s answer exceeded expectations. She opened her mouth in a dejected voice.
<Sorry. master. We analyzed the absorbed angel, but the coordinates of the gate to the heart of heaven are thoroughly encrypted. It will probably take quite some time to decipher.>
“A lot of time? How much specifically?”
<Even if you can’t do it, at least a year… >
“this. “It’s too long.”
Even with Ixia’s improved performance, it took as long as a year. It was ridiculous security. When I looked at the problem as if it was a pain in the ass, Ixia came up with a different solution.
<Or, if I absorb another angel of the same level as the angel I just absorbed, I think I can completely detoxify it.>
“That’s better.”
Of course, that was also absurd. Where else have you seen and caught a Archangel-level angel? An angel is not something that suddenly falls from the sky.
Jeongdo sighed and opened the status window again. It was to receive the Achilles Rod and Apollo Rod rewards that had not yet been received.
And at that time, Cheok Jun-gyeong suddenly spoke to Jeong-do.
“That’s about it.”
“yes?”
“Where is Sichuan?”
“Sichuan? That’s China… Ah, so, speaking of Master’s era, it would be the Song Dynasty. “That country collapsed and a country called China was established.”
“Huh. Even a great country like the Song Dynasty falls. But is the country called China a great country?”
“It’s a big country. surely.”
“But it seems like that match is a bit dangerous right now?”
“yes?”
Hearing Cheok Jun-gyeong’s words, Jeong-do looked at the TV. On the news, two anchors were reporting breaking news without even breathing.
– There is news that a large-scale dungeon break has occurred in some areas of Sichuan Province, China.
– The break is observed to be the largest since the first cataclysm…
– Military troops are concentrated in the Sichuan region…
– A brake suppression operation is being carried out centered on China’s SSS-class user Wu Xin, but it is a heavy task. The world’s help is urgently needed.
– Many people are confused because the monster that appears through the break looks similar to an angel. Some say that God’s divine punishment has begun on selfish mankind…
– In the worst case scenario, an expert’s analysis suggests that China’s civilization could regress for more than 10 years…
“… … ”
An angel suddenly fell from the sky.
It seemed like the next destination had been decided.
