“Damn white devil!”
The wrath of an active volcano shook the flower fields spread out in the sanctuary.
The meaningless death of the ‘Spirit of the Contract’. Failure of the ‘Three Hwashins’ task. And even the white devil’s taunts. All of this enraged Adonis.
Not only Adonis but all the apostles were watching the situation through the spirit’s vision.
The first Apostle Armagan leaned back and sighed softly.
“Calm down.”
“Does it look real! Did you hear what he said? what? Are you going to clog our mouths with your intestines? “There is no such thing as contempt!”
“There is still a chance.”
“Yes, it was a chance that only came twice. “It may seem like nothing to you, but I am in tears of blood after losing a contract spirit!”
The apostles were unable to descend to Earth on their own, so they planned to destroy the White Devil by making humanity their incarnation.
This is their first time using a being from another dimension as an incarnation.
So, first of all, Adonis sent the Spirit of Contract as a trial batter… but as you can see, the result was.
Even an apostle can only have two contract spirits. In other words, it is impossible to create more than two incarnations.
The 7th Apostle Ragmaon asked carefully so as not to anger Adonis.
“…Was it meant as a demonstration? “The spirit died before the human who contracted it could become an incarnation.”
“Damn my words! “It wouldn’t have been so unfair if I could at least roughly check Hwashin’s strength!”
Since I couldn’t fill up after the first drink, I didn’t expect that only one Avatar would successfully slay the White Devil.
A test is just a test. It would have been sufficient to see how much power the Avatar, who had been given the power of an apostle, could exert.
But who would have thought that he would kill the spirit of the contract before it even became an incarnation.
A clear and deep wrinkle was etched between Armagan’s eyebrows.
‘Where on earth did he bring something like an Arch Lich from here?’
He wasn’t just a guy who was good at fighting. The white devil has the talent to attract demons to his surroundings.
And the day that demonic power reaches this place will be the day heaven perishes.
The act of having an incarnation itself was already a strong move, but there is a need to prepare an even more extreme measure.
After making that decision, Armagan turned and started heading somewhere.
Ragmaon asked.
“Where are you going Armagan?”
“Going to the Sacred Warehouse.”
“How come there all of a sudden…?”
“I will bring out Gungnir.”
At that moment, all the apostles except Armagan were shocked and embarrassed.
Because it was an expected reaction, Armagan looked at Adonis calmly and continued speaking.
“If it were a spear that pierced the sun, even that white devil wouldn’t be able to easily defeat it.”
“So, aren’t you saying that you will give Gungnir to one Avatar? “That’s not support, it’s a careless act that cuts down on our lives!”
“If we don’t do this, the white devil won’t be defeated easily.”
“Yes, I guess so! But think about what might happen if you fail! “If Gungnir falls into his hands, how will you handle it?”
“Anyway, unless you have apostle-level divine power, you can’t even hold Gungnir. At that time, all you have to do is retrieve it somehow.”
“What if the white devil had divine powers? Even though the world returned, my memories were still intact. “Isn’t that proof that he has divine powers?”
“Is that possible? There must be another variable involved that we don’t know about. But there is absolutely no chance that he suddenly possesses divine powers.”
It is divine power that can be finally accepted only after passing the ordeal of the dimension tree, receiving the grace of the main god, and performing a sacred ceremony for ten days.
For someone who is not an angel to have divine powers would be more absurd than if diamonds suddenly rained down from the sky while walking down the street.
“I will support Gungnir to the most outstanding Avatar.”
Armagan decided to kill Daesung even if it meant draining his liver and gallbladder.

[Would you like to receive a reward? Yes / No]
While I was healing Constantine and moving on, a message suddenly appeared.
‘Now that I think about it, Melcanon was the leader of the Hekkar dimension.’
After the dimensions were fused, the system activated a quest called ‘Feat’.
And the condition for achieving the feat is defeating the boss of that dimension.
Strictly speaking, fighting Melcanon was unexpected, so I overlooked it for a while.
“I will take it.”
As for compensation, it is enough to already have an Arch Lich as a summon.
Still, Daesung did not hesitate.
[Reward ‘Runestone of the Black Star’ has been provided.]
[Reward Information]
Name: Runestone of the Black Star
Category: Skill
‘A runestone containing a forbidden spell created by Melcanon, the great sage of Hekkar.’
‘If you drop a drop of blood on the rune stone, the spell will be activated.’
‘Summons a black star above the user’s head. The combat power of friendly troops within the radius where the starlight shines rapidly increases, and the combat power of enemy troops decreases sharply.’
‘If a black star rises for more than 10 minutes, all beings exposed to the starlight, regardless of friend or foe, lose their reason.’
A black stone like obsidian appeared above Daesung’s hand.
Black Star Rune Stone.
In short, it seemed to be a skill that spreads a barrier within a certain area that gives buffs to allies and debuffs to enemies.
“It’s the rune stone of the Black Star. “Any being exposed to starlight for more than 10 minutes loses their sanity, but this does not apply to undead.”
The Arch Lich next to him said this after looking at the runestone in Daeseong’s hand.
He, the founder of the rune stone, even informed us of hidden details that were not indicated in the system.
Just as Daesung was about to tap the Arch Lich on the shoulder to congratulate him, he withdrew his hand.
‘It seems like they are preying on life in this way.’
They found the wooden life eater on the Arch Lich’s shoulder.
It was clinging to the Arch Lich’s shoulder like a leech, absorbing his vital energy.
[The ‘Life Devourer’ is consuming the life of the person who dominates the dimension.] [
When the predation is completed, the path leading to the ‘source’ of < Dimension: Hekar > is opened.]
[There are 48 hours left until the predation is completed.
] It’s good, but the last sentence made Daesung’s eyes look sharp.
Two days until the predation is complete. Why is the meal time so long?
However, the Life Devourer seemed to know Daesung’s heart or not, and was just drooping and absorbing energy.
“It’s not very uncomfortable, but it tickles. “Can’t we do something?”
“does not exist. “Just wait for two days.”
The Arch Lich scratched his cheek awkwardly and glanced at the Life Devourer.
The look in his eyes is as if he has no choice but to watch a blood-sucking mosquito in front of him.
***
“Thank you! “I almost died without even seeing my baby!”
“Ugh! “Mom, can we go home?”
“Grandma…Grandma, we lived there. “I survived thanks to that person…!”
The citizens of Ussuriysk, who were caught up in the fight between the titans and the dragons, were filled with joy and welcomed Daeseong as a hero.
But the joy was short-lived.
Their complexions darkened as they looked at the streets of Russia, which had turned into another world.
The house is gone. Familiar streets were destroyed. My precious hometown has now become a world of human beings and demons.
This is a change from the days when people could easily escape from evacuation centers and return home once the Fracture incident was put under control.
‘Anyway, if we continue to stay here, we will only be killed in the near future.’
Even the hunter who was supposed to protect the city said everything he had to say because he was stopped.
The only place where they can settle down with a high chance of survival is New Mexico, where there are bloodstones and guardians.
‘But it would be unrealistic to carry out a mass migration from Russia to there…’ The day
before the second cataclysm, the government announced plans to prepare a large-scale supply of bloodstone, but that was a long-term plan. It must be a story.
In the first place, that was something that was not included in the statement that Daesung wrote in his handwriting. The government and the association just used the power of the media to make noise to calm the public’s complaints.
Daesung smoothed his chin and asked the Arch Rich next to him.
“Is there a spell that can teleport them to the area I want?”
“There is a spell that summons the stone of transference, but only I, the magician, can use it.”
It was said that even as an Arch Lich, it was impossible to use the skill of sending so many people somewhere at once.
In any case, leaving them alone does not leave a refreshing aftertaste.
However, if there is no other way, you will have no choice but to give up and go your own way.
‘no.’
At this time, as he was contemplating the decision to leave, something suddenly occurred to him.
Blueprint of the warp gate!
Come to think of it, there was a time when the system gave me such a reward when I escaped from the ‘Tower of Germination’.
When I thought this might be helpful, the system quickly noticed and displayed a message.
[Summon the ‘Warp Gate Blueprint’.]
[You can build the mechanical device shown in the blueprint by consuming the Orichalcon required for production.]
[The Orichalcon required to construct the ‘Warp Gate’ is a total of 1 device. There are 5000.]
[Would you like to consume Orihalcon (x5000) to build a ‘Warp Gate (x1)’? Yes / No.]
Just because it was a blueprint, there was no need to obtain parts or obtain knowledge.
This is the best advantage of the game system, where the results come out quickly once the item materials are prepared.
Daesung chose ‘Yes’.
Puzzle-!
Then, a blue vortex colored with electric current was created at a short distance, and soon the words came to mind once more.
[‘Warp Gate’ is under construction. It takes about 5 minutes to complete.]
[The completed warp gate can be combined with a specific building or used for teleportation to transport living creatures to another point.]
As expected.
As expected, the warp gate could be used as a replacement for the teleportation that allowed Kyoto citizens to move to New Mexico.
‘It takes about 5 minutes to complete.’
I have the patience to wait that much.
For the remaining five minutes, Daesung decided to show the way forward for those who have lost their hometown and are wandering stranded.
***
“I came here after hearing a rumor that your ruler was away!”
“look! The rumors were true! “The only chance is now!”
“Give us back our land!”
Several groups of Rando people who had been exiled to the frontier invaded New Mexico.
As soon as the rumor spread that Daesung was currently vacant, he took advantage of the opportunity to reclaim the territory.
The number was even more than that of the group that had come to protest before and were killed by Einfried’s sword.
Humanity, who had spent a brief period of peace in the royal castle of Plomaria, felt like a fire had been set in their feet.
Sigh-!
At this time, there was one person who came to the forefront representing humanity.
It was Einfried who became the guardian of New Mexico.
He planted his magic sword Hild firmly in the ground and faced off against the spirited Rando.
“As long as I stay here, things won’t go your way.”
The group of invaders trembled at the young Einfried’s proclamation.
However, their overwhelming numerical superiority soon instilled in them courage that they did not have before.
“Don’t be agitated! What are you afraid of? “He is no longer the Einfried we knew!”
“There is only one enemy! Push on! “Anyway, we came here prepared to see blood!”
Einfried and the Rando clashed.
Every time the magic sword Hild scattered sword light, a wind of blood blew.
But unlike before, Einfried’s was also mixed in with the blood and wind.
It is natural for a group of hundreds to persistently target just one person.
From the beginning, it seemed like they had come with the intention of killing only Einfried.
“The atmosphere in the department is a bit strange? “Wouldn’t that guy die first?”
As Einfried gradually showed signs of exhaustion, people felt uneasy.
Soon they clenched their fists.
In fact, this number is much larger. However, since he does not step forward, Einfried has no choice but to struggle alone.
How long will we just helplessly watch and suffer?
“Whoever can fight, let’s fight! “Now we have the power to do that!”
The person who raised his voice with courage was a young Westerner.
Puzzle-!
An electric current surged through the young man’s hands. It is a magic called ‘Lightning Bolt’ that was awakened after eating blood stone.
He must have already practiced using magic several times, so he unleashed an electric shock with a skillful hand.
“Kwaaaaak-!”
“Why are they using our power!”
“damage! “If we stick together, we’ll get swept away by lightning!”
The fact that mankind suddenly used magic was something that even the Lando tribe had not expected.
As unplanned variables arose, the Rando camp gradually collapsed.
Einfried and the young man did not miss the opportunity and joined forces to push forward.
“Oh hey….”
“Ooh, we can do this too. Look at that. “They can’t even use it.”
“Those of you who learned superpowers by eating the red stone here, let’s go out and fight!”
The youth’s courage became a lamp and brightened the hearts of humanity.
Soon, the battlefield unfolded with various types of magic running rampant.
Those who gained strength by eating bloodstone resisted, fought, and moved forward with the determination to survive immediately.
It was a moment when Daesung’s efforts to bring Envette Rosen to his knees shined.
The untimely war between humanity and the Rando race continued until close to midnight.
People’s faces were full of fatigue because they were not used to fighting at the risk of their lives, but still, there was a clear glimmer of hope.
“Let’s try a little harder. “If we keep pushing, I think we’ll win.”
“Was it Einfried? That guy is a big help. “He looks like a zombie, but his commanding skills are no joke.”
“You stupid aliens! “Don’t waste time and get the hell out of here!”
The situation was clearly leaning toward humanity’s victory.
The Lando tribe seriously wondered whether they should turn their tail and retreat.
But…
boom-. thud-.
“Uh oh. what is this? “What earthquake?”
“I’m getting bigger?”
An unidentified ground rumbling occurred.
At first, I wondered if the Rando tribe had pulled some kind of trick, but they were just as perplexed.
It was a time when both sides were dumbfounded.
“Look over there.”
“Oh my God….”
People sighed as someone pointed to a faraway place.
giant!
A group of bulky giants were approaching from beyond the horizon.
“….”
Both humanity and the Rando tribe were speechless as they looked at the scene.
Look at that size. It is already far beyond the level of fighting.
It’s like a dog and a cat fighting, and a lion suddenly comes in.
‘it’s tough.’
Even Einfried judged that it was difficult.
It hasn’t been long since I was given the position of Guardian, but the territory I was supposed to protect has already fallen.
Unfortunately, Einfried, who had just become a summoned beast, did not know how to send a warning message to the monarch, Daeseong.
It was a time when everyone froze, forgetting even the heat of war.
Pot-.
Suddenly a black star appeared in the sky.
Next, words visible only to one man’s eyes embroidered the air.
[‘Runestone of the Black Star’ is activated.]
[Black starlight falls.]
