The chain of souls and flames that Yu IlHan had made bound the higher existences. The surviving two members of the Destruction Demon Army comprised one gigantic beast and one humanoid, but they were the same in the aspect that they could not escape from the chains. The souls making up the chains were linked to Yu IlHan, and so as long as they didnât sever the connection with Yu IlHanâs soul, they could not break the chains either.
Of course, those way above Yu IlHanâs current league would simply ignore such limitations and escape, but the two in front of him didnât belong in this criteria.
âLiera, you take one of them.â
âNo, letâs give it to Mir. Mir is still low level.â
Two lower existences were chatting with the bound higher existences in front of them. It was quite ironic, since the scene was like a married couple was trying to give each other the last slice of the meat dish, but ended up giving it to the son.
âOkay, then. Iâll go get Mir.â
In the end, Liera returned back to the Flying fortress, leaving behind the two higher existences. That made the pride of the bound two, shatter into a thousand pieces.
Although they were unsightly bound by Yu IlHan and simply became âmeat dishesâ, these higher existences were also those that had ruled a world. However, two âmereâ lower existences were being all leisurely in front of them!
[Iâll freeze your woman and make her into an ice statue!]
The demon beast gathered destructive mana on its two hands and puffed up its muscles, while the humanoid made orbs of ices in his surroundings. Each and every one of them had the potential to be fatal! It didnât even take 1 second to do that, as expected of higher existences!
The two attacked at the same time. However, it did not create the scene of Liera being turned into a nice statue. The moment they tried to gather their mana, Yu IlHan called the five shields of Aegis and received all their attacks.
Aegis, which now had the effects of absorbing and amplifying mana before returning it back after being upgraded by the feathers of fallen angels, did its job and reflected their own mana back to them.
âGood, splendid performance as expected.â
And it would become an even more perfect shield when he enhanced it with materials from higher existences later. Yu IlHan was satisfied with Aegisâ performance, and unfolded his Ruin Calling to shoot shockwaves in the air to leap.
Now that he had mastered leap, and that the Warp skill was advancing by the day, Yu IlHan was at the level of stacking three or four leaps with one motion. Even when it looked like he was simply kicking off the air, he would be hundreds of meters away the next moment! It was not that much different from teleportation.
Following Yu IlHanâs leap trajectory, Aegis followed, while the flames that comprised the domain gathered on the tip of his spear. The one Yu IlHan was aiming for, was the ice-wielding man who had a higher level. He was planning to break his ice head on.
[Heh, so you find me easy? Did you think you can melt me with your fire?]
This guy was worrying about Yu IlHan just shooting beams from afar, but when he approached, he laughed while being inwardly relieved.
This guy thought that the reason the three higher existences died just now was because they were attacked in surprise. Didnât they die in a blink of an eye without being able to do anything? But now, he was dealing with a full frontal assault!
The ones that seeked death in arrogance, while not knowing their place! None of them reached the realm of higher existences. He would also become like that!
[This is the ice of Katlar, the hero of the icy plains. Although itâs not my preference to freeze a guyâŠâŠ Iâll hang out with your delusions for a bit!]
âBe honest here, there is some shared villain_lines dot txt among you, isnât there?â
At that moment, an overwhelming quantity of fire gathered and compressed at the tip of the spear, to the point that it made some wonder if the domain would collapse at this rate, as the flame turned translucent. This was the first reason that Yu IlHan had judged that it would be fine to go against a higher existence, his flames!
Like how the higher existence he was facing was thinking that that maybe a little dangerous, the other higher existence gave support fire, but those were blocked by Aegis as Yu IlHan already knew that they were coming.
âI donât care where you ripped off those linesâŠâŠâ
At that moment, some crunching sounds were heard. Yu IlHan had activated God Force to strengthen his arm muscles, and ended up putting too much pressure on the Eight-tailed dragon spear. This was the second reason why Yu IlHan was going against a higher existence head on; his muscular strength.
âIf you want to read them, buy the official copy!â
Yu IlHan instantaneously reached in front of the guyâs nose with several leaps, and struck down with his spear using both of his hands.
The guy tried gather all the frost energy from its body to make several hundred ice swords to attack Yu IlHan, but they all melted in front of the translucent flames from Yu IlHan. Losing in a battle of pure attributes, the guy that self-proclaimed to be the hero of the icy plains abruptly widened his eyes.
[You broke my iceâŠâŠ. Kugh!?]
A bigger problem was that the spear strike that contained enough power to force him to use all his ice to block against, numbered nine more. That was a soundless, formless, strike of flames. He could not endure that strike when his league was lowered in the domain of Falling Down.
âYou saw it last time, didnât you?â
[Donât tell me thatâs, a martial art even amongst advanced techniquesâŠâŠ!? Canât be dodged just by, lookingâŠâŠâŠ]
Those were his final words. Yu IlHanâs continuous strikes severed all his mana circuit, and the berserk mana froze him whole. He realized that it was him that was arrogant at the final moment, and his brain and eyes were frozen after that as well.
[You have earned experience.]
[You have become level 275. 2 Strength, 1 Agility, 1 Health, 1 Magic increases.]
[You have earned the record of Lv319 Katlar.]
[The skill, Spear of Untraceable Trajectory, has become level 95.]
[The skill, God Force, has become level 3.]
The third reason why Yu IlHan did not back off against a higher existence, was his Spear techniques that had reached a very high realm even among advanced techniques, due to his sufferings and training over numerous years.
Even if the prior two conditions werenât met, his Spear of Untraceable Trajectory had enough power to reverse the battle.
[Yes, we indeed cannot win against you.]
The beast that saw that itâs stronger ally being toyed around with, gave up trying to survive. At that point, Liera was coming back with Yumir. It realized that Yumir was a dragon, and laughed.
[I knew you were not ordinary, but to think youâd have a dragon. You would be a dragon rider, then.]
Yu IlHan ignored its words and turned his head to Yumir.
âMir, the experience would decrease since dad is holding onto it, but you can finish it off.â
âUu, I want to become stronger with my abilitiesâŠ..â
âBut youâre still weak so you need to become stronger faster, right?â
Yumir changed the Breath of Gold to be long and sharp. His mana was concentrated on that spot, and became a strong drill as it rotated.
However, just as when Yu IlHan was thinking that it would be good if he learned wind magic as well, the enemy spoke once again; it looked like it wasnât finished last time.
[You must be feeling very confident right now. You must be drunk on the fact that you can overwhelm higher existences. However, behind me are countless 5th class allies, and even stronger 6th class beings. The war for the higher world has only just started. Heavenâs Army and the Army of Brilliant Light â those arrogant bastards will also not welcome an irregular like you âŠâŠCan you, a mere lower existence, handle all of them?]
âThis guyâs nucleus is just under the right waist, so strike there, Mir.â
[You have earned experience.]
Itâs very ordinary last scream made Yu IlHan feel good. It looked like his contribution was higher as over 50% of the experience came to him, but Yumir, who finished it off, also rejoiced as he levelled up several times.
âThis place really is an experience haven, dad!â
Yu IlHan collected the body of the monster and dispelled Falling Down after checking that there were no enemies around, when Liera asked him with worried eyes.
âIlHan, I donât think that guy was wrongâŠâŠ. will you really be alright? Iâve seen several hundred 5th class beings clashing for a higher world.â
âIâm pretty assured after the battle just now. Weâll be fine against five 6th class beings in the domain of Falling Down. It doesnât only increase my power, but weakens enemies as well. With you, me, Mir, and the Flying fortress, we can take on five at once.â
Replied Yu IlHan. Five 6th class beings. While Liera thought that that was an absurd numberâŠ
âAny more than that, weâd need go to guerilla tactics.â
âWith the Flying fortress?â
âWith the Flying fortress.â
âYou do know that by 6th class, they can scan this entire world in at most 15 minutes, right?â
âThatâs plenty. And moreoverâŠâŠâ
âNo, itâs a secret for now.â
Liera had the urge to hit Yu IlHan, but seeing him smile, she couldnât really do that. He was probably thinking of some absurd things right now. And those absurd thoughts were the main driving force that made the current Yu IlHan.
Perhaps the greatest power Yu IlHan possessed was neither his power, nor his effort, nor his talent, but the sudden insights he had founded on the knowledge he had piled up over numerous years â she thought.
Yu IlHan repaired his equipment that had been damaged in the battle against the higher existences just now, by slamming some magic stones against them, while embracing Yumir into his arms before asking.
âMir, it will be quite an intense battle from now on. Will it be alright?â
âYeah, I wonât be able to truly become strong if I donât experience suffering. I want to become stronger using fair methods and not sneaky ones like just now.â
âGood, itâs fine if youâre thinking like that.â
Yumir seemed to hesitate for a little, but still eventually spoke in frustration while biting his lips.
âWant to avenge Phiria.â
Yumir did spend 2 years and 9 months with Phiria and the others. In fact, he spent longer time with them than he did with Yu IlHan. It wasnât like Yu IlHan didnât know that, but hearing it from his mouth was a different feeling altogether.
âLetâs avenge her. Against all the trash that consider us as maggots.â
ââŠâŠReally, this is not a conversation that should happen between a father and son. Though, I donât disagree with you.â
Yu IlHan returned to the Flying fortress with Liera and Yumir. The Dragonâs Army, Na YuNa and Kang HaJin were waiting for them, and they were dumbstruck because they thought they were going to go against higher existences, only to turn out that they died before they could do anything.
âDo you really need us?â
âI will from now on. Letâs go first.â
âYouâll know when we get there.â
The magic formation activated once again. In that instant, they had teleported, and were in a quiet forest this time.
[So we need to split our members here.]
âBut Phiria, as well as the 23 elves that accompanied her, are not back. If theyâre being chasedâŠâŠâ
[She and the other elves are with our colleagues. Seeing as how I lost contact with my colleagues just a while ago, even she might have died, not to mention our colleaguesâŠ..]
âNo way, just who could Phiria be killed by!â
Now, they were in the right place. This place was not a warzone, and there were many lower existences on the ground as well. Meaning, this place felt like an âemergency shelterâ.
âThereâs no way she died. We need to wait for her! And moreover, we need to move together!â
[Weâre currently trying to make you survive! We also hid you from the dragons in the past. Do you not remember that?]
The one that was quarreling against the one that looked to be a member of the Garden of Sunset, was Mirfa, who was given the artifact to control the formation. The rest were only staring at her while not knowing what to do, and only the wolfkin princess, Ericia, was staring at the higher existence, as she agreed with Mirfa.
Yu IlHan thought that he had picked a good representative, and checked the members there. There were a few less elves that should have died along with Phiria, and a few less wolfkin, Ericia, Flemir, Mirey, Jirl, Paté, as well as his other subordinates and the remaining elves were safe and sound.
Yu IlHan stepped forward while being relieved. Of course, in his hand was the Eight-tailed dragon spear that had a violent flame raging on the tip of it.
The Eight-tailed dragon spear that Yu IlHan threw instantly shot down the guy from the Garden of Sunset that was blabbing on. Unfortunately, he did not die instantly and the concealment on the Flying fortress was dispelled, but Mystic, as if having foreseen all of this, attacked with the Destruction Mirrors from all sides while lowering the Flying fortress, to hold him off. There were a total of eleven higher existences in that place.
âItâs His Majesty!â
âHis Majesty has come!â
As expected of the race with good eyes, the elves instantly recognized Yu IlHanâs face. Their faces colored in fear and uncomfort were instantly changed to that of joy and relief, and it seemed as if all that happened just now was but an act.
âYour Majesty, we were waiting for you!â
The higher existence shouted as if to defeat all those shouts of joy. The elves retreated in fear, thinking âOh, there was thatâ, when Yu IlHan, who landed on the ground as if to separate the higher existences and his subordinates spread Aegis to protect his subordinates while speaking.
âThese guys are enemies.â
Loyalty to the emperor was absolute! Regardless of how the Garden of Sunset acted before, and regardless of how they acted right now, that didnât matter. The elves immediately considered the Garden of Sunset as enemies and retreated backwards.
âYou guys just protect yourselves.
Looks like Falling Down will increase rapidly in level while I stay in Dareu â thought Yu IlHan as he covered the entire region in flames.
âIt will be over soon.â
