Chunghuh raised his head in shock. He did not know Sirwen was related to Mulack. Sirwen replied, âSo, the Lord of Darkness is in a hurry to have sent you all the way here.â
ââŠYou wish to follow your fatherâs footsteps?â Sameng Garam spoke, ignoring Sirwenâs comment. âOne who comes from the dream, will return to the dream. What a pitiful race.â
ââŠWatch your mouth,â Sirwen replied, angrier than ever since she met Jaehwan.
âCan I defeat him?â
But she had not lost her mind in her rage. She knew how powerful that man was.
âHmph. So, will you fight then? I will look forward to seeing a [Nightmare]âs trickery.â
The man taunted her sarcastically. Sirwen began to concentrate Spirit Power in her hands. The magic was slowly taking form.
âWait.â
A cold voice spoke up, stopping her. Sirwen and Sameng Garam turned toward the voice. It was Jaehwan who had just finished checking up on Cayman. Cayman was barely breathing, on the verge of death. Jaehwan rose up slowly.
âI will handle him.â
Sirwen felt dumbfounded and relieved at his words. But then she came back to herself. They were facing the impossible.
âNo⊠you canât do it alone.â
She wanted to say it, but couldnât say it out loud as she saw Jaehwanâs face. He was enraged.
[Insolent fool.]
However, it wasnât Sameng Garam who stepped forward. It was Magito the Silent.
ââŠWhatâs with you, Magito?â
Kanael the Storm seemed to be shocked by Magitoâs unexpected action. Magito glanced at Kanael, and Kanael began to cackle. Tt seemed like they had exchanged messages. Kanael then looked at Jaehwan.
âYou already heard Magitoâs voice? How unfortunate.â
Jaehwan then realized the voice he just heard was from Magito.
âNo one survives after hearing Magitoâs voice.â
The reason why Magitoâs nickname was silent was simple. No one who knew his voice, and all those who heard him had been killed. Jaehwan declared, âThen, Iâll be the first.â
Before Magito could act, Jaehwan was already moving. Two swords clashed.
âItâs not going to be easy.â
Jaehwan felt that this wasnât an enemy he could not win against, but it wasnât going to be easy either. Magito then counterattacked with his sword, which Jaehwan dodged.
[Strong Stab]!
[Strong Stab]âs range was originally too wide, but Jaehwan had trained for 2000 to use it against a single target. However, Magito dodged it.
âThat rumor wasnât even close.â
Sameng Garam mumbled to himself. Magito did manage to dodge it, but his clothing was in rags and his right side was injured. It wasnât severe, but it was embarrassing. Kanael laughed.
âHA HA! What are you doing, Magito? Can you not kill an insect?â
[Shut up, Kanael.]
Fortunately, they did not fight together against Jaehwan. They were too proud to join forces to fight a mere human. However, they did not know that their pride would be their demise.
âSameng Garam⊠11th stage Adapter.â
Jaehwan glanced at Sameng Garam in the distance. The two Generals in front of him were powerful, but he was the real enemy. Jaehwan knew that Sameng Garam was twice, if not more, as powerful than those two Generals combined.
Jaehwan and Magito clashed against each other. According to Jaehwanâs [Suspicion], Magito was similar to when Jaehwan first arrived in .
âLetâs not waste time.â
Jaehwan moved. He needed to finish it while the enemy least expected it. Jaehwan attacked with his [Strong Stab]. Then, from the attack that had left a scar, Jaehwanâs unique world began to spread. Magito panicked. He had not expected such power from a mere human. He tried to use his best sword skill to fight back, but Jaehwan did not give him that luxury. He had already readied a second stab.
Repeated Strong Stab!
âImpossibleâŠ!â
Magito finally spoke out loud after hundreds of years. The damage spread, destroying everything in its path. Chunghuh and Sirwen quickly grabbed Cayman and evacuated behind Jaehwan to avoid being caught up in the aftershock.
âHow dare you!â
Kanael jumped in. He originally just intended to watch, but it wasnât going as they expected. Even if their pride was important, he couldnât let Magito die. He quickly flew to Magito, who was being thrown back, to grab him.
ââŠIâm sorry, Magito, but I will have to jump in.â
ââŠDammitâŠâ Magito moaned. He had no choice, however. They were out on an official mission, and their job wasnât to compete in an honorable duel. They would not truly die as they had come here through the [Narrow Door], but they couldnât allow their spirit to be damaged as it would take days to recover.
âW-watch out!â
Magito warned as Jaehwanâs sword fired again.
A third strike.
âAAAAARGH!â
Kanael then fought back, using his skill [Wings of the Storm] that allowed him to become the General of the Storm. However, hostility aside, Kanael was truly astonished. It had been a long time since he was faced with such power by a non-General.
âThree powerful attacks!â
But it wasnât over yet.
And then the fourth strike came.
The 4th strike was on a different level. Jaehwanâs unique world spread from the attack, and Kanael flinched at the glimpse of the giant dark eye within.
âThis⊠this canâtâŠ!â
His wings were ripping apart. Kanael used all his might to resist the attack, but Jaehwan made his final move.
The fifth strike.
It seemed like the world had been bombarded with a nuclear strike. Kanael and Magito were thrown into the sky like a pair of rag dolls. There was no Spirit Power from them as they were severely injured. Then, from all the scars from the previous attacks, dark matter began to seep out, covering the entire region in its picture.
The unique world.
Everyone watched as Jaehwanâs world appeared. Laika, who was watching all this from behind, looked at Jaehwanâs eyes. He realized that this man had let him survive to show him this moment.
was not weak.
âIf he is here⊠no one will dare to enter with ease.â
Jaehwanâs sword sliced the connections from the two Generals and they began to writhe in agony. But it wasnât over yet.
Jaehwanâs unique world was now advancing to where Sameng Garam was standing. He, for the first time, had drawn his sword. The power that reached him that defeated two Generals seemed to be too great for any one man to fight back.
âYou are strong.â
The unique world stopped in front of him.
âA physical power that destroys the world itself.â
Sameng Garam reached out for the border and held it.
âBut itâs not enough. You have the weapon, but you are still a child.â
Then, the world began to shrink as if it was afraid of Sameng Garam.
âA unique world that has not faced âCreationâ is only a trickery.â
The world faded. Jaehwan was shocked.
âHe scattered the unique world.â
Sameng Garam began walking over to Jaehwan. He felt his body growing heavy and his skin tightening as Sameng Garam approached, as if Jaehwan was being taken into a unique world.
ââŠUnique world?â
Sameng Garam said, âThere are fools who think that the unique world is only available to Awakeners.â
An Adapter had his own world? That was impossible. Jaehwanâs [Suspicion] had told him how the world was formed. But Sameng Garam continued with his explanation. âEveryone has their own world. Even if itâs not âuniqueâ.â
The world of Adaptation was gathering in him.
He was, in fact, the one closest to becoming a Commander as an 11th stage Adapter.
Jaehwan gripped his sword tighter. It was the first time, other than during the Sole King Catastrophe, that he faced such power. This was like-
