This guy is a genius student. Chen
Jilliao has a lot of problems to solve
at school, and the biggest one is his
girlfriend. This girl forces him to do
all the homework because she needs to
play games all night to maintain her
high rank. Chenila accepts this because
it's the only way to have such a
beautiful girlfriend, but he wants more.
So, he asked to play with her at night,
too. The girl agreed because she needs a
healer in her party. That day, the MC
went home after buying that famous game.
His mom made his favorite food, but
Chenila couldn't wait. The Cosmos game
was in his backpack waiting for him. He
ran to his room. The rainy weather was
relaxing. If Chen Jillo gets closer to
his girlfriend, he can finally try to
take their relationship deeper. Putting
on the VR helmet and turning on the
machines, his mind started seeing
another reality. This place is the start
of the cosmos game. Here it is explained
that this is a survival game and the
player must choose their class right
now. Chengillia knows Xiaomé said they
needed a healer, so he is going to
choose that class. While the protagonist
was connected, heavy rain was falling
outside and a lightning bolt hit his
house. The electric discharge traveled
through the cables and fried his mind. I
feel the energy. My brain feels like
it's going to melt, thought Chenila. The
whole room glowed blue. And when his mom
went to bring his food, where did her
son go? The only clue in the room is the
computer screen with this information.
Somewhere else, a girl was in danger.
Several monsters defeated the humans and
were ready for the banquet. The girl
could only scream for help. Then a
bright light caught everyone's
attention. Chenila appeared there and
said that Xiaomé would be safe. All he
wanted was to touch her lips. So, it
happens. But look, it was just a dream
and it was this lizard that woke him up.
Confused, he wonders what happened to
the transfer process. The sensation is
described as an electric shock,
strangely pleasant. From this, he
deduces he's now inside the game.
Staring at the desert's vastness, he
wonders if this is truly the game. The
intense heat, the excessive realism, and
the absence of people in the supposed
newbie village catch his attention.
Because of this, he decides to search
for Xiaomé. A player search screen
appears [music] before him. However, the
system reports that the player was not
found. The situation seems strange to
him as her ID is perfectly etched into
his memory. Even so, he decides to go to
the village to find her. Now wearing a
hooded cloak, he continues walking
through the desert. Then, a map opens
displaying his location in an
unconfirmed desert area. Doubt returns,
making him wonder if he made a mistake
and where the game teleported him. Two
game area connection screens appear in
sequence. Soon after, a system message
informs him he's outside the server
area. It becomes clear to him that not
being able to contact Xiaomé isn't
normal. With the constant heat, he
calculates he's losing almost a liter of
water per hour. At this moment, he
finally realizes this isn't just a game
anymore, as he could soon collapse from
dehydration. The decision seems obvious.
The game is too hard, and it's best to
disconnect to explain everything to
Xiaomé. However, [music] an error
message appears on the screen. Trying
again, he questions if this is a joke
since disconnecting seems impossible.
Insistently, he presses the button
multiple times, but the error message
keeps appearing. Without answers, he
starts to wonder why he can't leave. A
[music] scream escapes him as he
realizes he's trapped in the game. Soon
after, a notification informs him of a
new message, sparking an immediate
reaction of curiosity. The screen then
displays the details of a quest called
Survive. With infinite duration and
unknown rewards, rage consumed him. He
just wanted to play with May, but now he
was trapped. Punching the sand, he felt
frustration surge, unable to log out or
contact anyone. Doubt then assailed him,
questioning if he would be stuck there
forever. 8 hours later, he still
struggled to believe he was trapped in
what he would come to call his first day
in the apocalypse. Over time, he
discovered the game possessed the same
mechanics as the real world. Temperature
and dehydration symptoms were entirely
real. Because of this, he realized that
if he continued like this, the only
thing awaiting him was death. To have a
chance at survival, he concluded he
needed to find water. Memory brought
forth a show he'd watched where
limestone rocks indicated the presence
of nearby water. From this, [music] he
deduced there should be a water source
in the rocky area ahead. Without wasting
time, he began walking in that
direction. As he advanced, a creature
with sharp fangs stalked him closely. As
he approached the rocks, he hoped his
deduction was correct. Inside a cave, he
finally found a water source. Back on
the surface, he drank urgently,
declaring it essential to his survival.
Outside, a monstrous creature watched
him from a top the rocks. Lying on the
ground, he concluded the water problem
was solved, though there was still no
way out. Sitting up, he opened a system
screen, pondering that if this was a
game, there had to be a clue to escape
the desert. Next, he observed the map
displayed on the screen. However, the
map only showed explored areas, leading
him to check his own system profile.
Analyzing his attributes, he concluded
that with such a low level and no
skills, his only option was to run if he
encountered a monster. Given that, he
decided to check what equipment he had.
The system then materialized a sword and
a pair of gloves before him. He
immediately noticed his class's starting
weapon was a sword. As a precaution, he
decided it was best to keep the weapon
with him and equip it along with the
gloves. Now standing, he raised the
sword and tested its movement. Then he
struck a rock which shattered on impact.
The realization hit him. The weapon was
far harder and more resistant than in
reality. Noticing the system even
displayed equipment wear, he concluded
everything in this game seemed
terrifyingly real. Standing at the cave
entrance, he heard his own stomach
rumble. Necessity called and he decided
to go out and find food. Otherwise, he
wouldn't last long. However, as he
turned, a noise from the water behind
him caught his attention, making him
wonder what it was. Quickly, he hid
behind a rock and cautiously peered
inside the cave. Immediately, regret
washed over him for not having watched
the area more carefully after drinking
the water. Suddenly, a bone dropped to
the ground near him, drawing his
surprised gaze. Before him, an enormous
pile of animal skeletons lay accumulated
at the back of the cave. Crouching, he
picked up one of the bones, wondering
why so many were scattered there.
Carefully, he ran his finger over the
teeth marks etched into the bone. A
memory triggered as he recognized those
marks from a book he'd seen before. With
a look of shock, he exclaimed, [music]
"This can't be real." Abruptly, he
turned and declared, "I can't stay here.
I need to get out now." Suddenly, the
monstrous creature appeared right before
him. His body froze, paralyzed by the
monster's fangs. At the last second, he
managed to dodge the attack. The wolf
then began to circle him. An info screen
popped up, identifying the creature as a
level five desert wolf. The system
detailed the beast's main attack, a bite
with 300 kg of force. However, a
notification highlighted the monster's
belly as its primary weakness. The
realization hit him. There was indeed a
monster right in front of him. It also
became clear that with the wolf's
superior speed, fighting was his only
option. With that, he stood up and took
a combat stance, [music] gripping his
sword tightly. The risk was immediate.
He knew if he lost, he would die. With a
shout that echoed through the cave, he
declared, "You're underestimating me."
As he blocked the creature's attack with
his sword. A memory flashed, taking him
back to his high school days. Back then,
he was the president of the Wind Blast
Kendo Club and became the youngest
person in the country to achieve the
sixth degree in swordsmanship. His
motivation for learning kendo had always
been simple. His mother, when she was
younger, was a huge celebrity fan, and
among her idols was local kendo star Jay
Camira Yai. For that reason, she
encouraged her son to train in
swordsmanship from an early age. At
first, he thought kendo was easy, just a
show with fancy clothes. However, once
he started real practice, he quickly
realized the sport was far from simple.
Facing an opponent in kendo armor, his
own breath and heartbeat became his sole
focus. In that moment, an inexplicable
sensation would seize his body, making
movements difficult. The source of this
feeling was the realization that he
wasn't strong enough. The only way to
overcome it was to keep practicing and
pushing himself relentlessly. That's why
he spent all his free time in the
non-airconditioned dojo, repeating the
same movements countless times. training
was marked by constant failures and
numerous injuries. [music] Still, he
never stopped training, refining each
movement little by little until he
became the youngest sixth Dan Kendo
practitioner in Z City. Even after
achieving that feat, he never stopped
training. The belief that guided him was
simple. In a world where the strong
devour the weak, the victor is king.
Back in the present, he stares down the
wolf, acutely aware that the next
opponent could be far more terrifying.
His hand tightens its grip on the sword
hilt, bracing for the imminent danger.
Again, he roared that the monster had
underestimated him, blocking its attack.
Sparks erupted as his blade clashed
against the creature's claws. He reeled,
shocked by the brutal force of the
impact. The wolf lunged with ferocity,
striking Chenilo with brutal [music]
force. His body slammed against the cave
wall. Still, he questioned why his sword
attacks had no effect. A system
notification flashed. Attack
ineffective. It explained that only
strikes to the abdomen would deal
damage. Other areas were invulnerable.
His mind raced, desperate for a
solution. Even with the monster's
weakness laid bare, the beast was too
fast. With every lunge, its weak point
remained just out of reach. It was clear
that merely defending would only lead to
his exhaustion. Standing before the
creature, he began to weigh his options.
Doubt nawed at him, wondering if this
was truly where he would die. But then,
remembering the beast's vulnerable
abdomen, an idea finally sparked. His
[music] feet pressed firmly into the
ground, a gamble forming in his mind
that this plan would work. Without
hesitation, he charged, convinced this
was his only way to slay the beast. The
wolf leaped, sinking its fangs deep into
his shoulder. Seizing the proximity,
Chenelo plunged his sword deep into the
[music] monster's belly. With fierce
conviction, he declared, "There's no way
that attack wasn't valid this time." As
the wolf collapsed at his feet, he
declared victory without a shred of
doubt. He then explained his strategy.
He deliberately allowed the bite,
forcing the beast to drop its guard and
expose its weak point. The game's logic
is quite interesting, he mused. A system
notification blared, "Arena wolf
defeated. Experience granted. Level up.
You are now level five. 25 skill points
acquired. Immediately after, he noticed
that with the level up, all his wounds
healed instantly." Another notification
popped up announcing, "Hidden level shop
system activated." He carefully observed
the options laid out before him.
However, irritation flared as he stared
at the shop section. "Who developed
this?" he muttered. "Did they really
expect me to die alone in this hole?" he
mused, [music] recalling that just like
in other games, defeating monsters
granted experience to level up and earn
skill points. Sitting down, he began to
ponder what this hidden shop system
truly was. Driven by curiosity, he
decided to enter and check it out,
pressing the access button. A gust of
wind hit him the moment he accessed the
new interface. Before his eyes, a vast
selection of highlevel weapons and
equipment materialized. As he observed
the floating items, he wondered, "Is
this really the shop?" A list of
categories revealed that different item
types were unlocked at specific levels.
What caught his eye was that beyond
weapons and equipment, there were also
housing items and home appliances. "Who
would even buy these in a game?" he
questioned. He also noted that the
mercenary system required level 100 to
unlock. Suddenly, binary code erupted
from the ground, completely surrounding
him. Amidst the data, a female figure
materialized before him. Immediately, he
wondered if it was a holographic
projection. Multiple data circles formed
on the ground around him. Soon after, an
offensive type figure materialized in
front of him. Next, a defensive type
mercenary appeared. A moment later, a
magic type representative emerged before
him. Finally, an assassin manifested
amidst the digital data. As he observed
the vast array of available mercenaries,
something caught his eye. A support type
mercenary with butterfly wings presented
herself. He was speechless, seeing her
lying on a bed that suddenly appeared
there. Annoyance flared in him again as
he stared at the shop section, wondering
who developed something so bizarre. The
system informed him that at his current
level, only the daily necessities phase
could be unlocked, and asked if he
wished to proceed. His answer was
[music] immediate. He affirmed yes,
making it clear there was no need to ask
for permission to unlock it. A
notification confirmed the daily
necessities section was successfully
activated, consuming five levels.
Sitting with his new supplies, he
concluded that for now he could only
exchange his levels for these items, but
it was still a relief. Next, he
requested the system display his skill
points, noting that currently he could
only rely on attributes to evolve. As he
analyzed the screen, he pondered that
these attributes would define his
future, as points couldn't be changed
once distributed. Recalling the defeated
wolf, he concluded that to face more
powerful monsters, he'd need an
advantage in speed and attack power. He
confirmed this by allocating five points
to physique, [music] 10 to strength, and
10 to agility. The status screen
reflected the distributed points,
granting more health, sufficient damage,
and greater speed. An intense sensation
coursed through his body, which felt
lighter and filled with power,
confirming that skill points directly
affected his capabilities. [music]
He declared with conviction, "This
feeling of getting stronger is amazing."
However, he soon faced a new horde of
wolves emerging from the cave entrance.
[music] Taking a combat stance, he
declared this was the perfect moment to
test the effect of his new attributes. A
shout echoed as he vowed to end this
wolf den, and the creatures charged. One
of the wolves leaped towards him to
attack. With agility, he dodged the blow
and struck two of the creatures in a
swift movement. His strengthened attack
power now proved capable of ignoring the
wolves defense. [music] Soon after,
another wolf lunged, jaws wide open.
Without hesitation, he blocked the
attack and counterattacked with his
sword. The attribute improvements also
boosted his weapon handling skills. He
hurled a stone which ricocheted off the
cave walls. Seizing the opening, he
unleashed a single spinning strike that
hit multiple wolves simultaneously.
Advancing through the horde, he defeated
the enemies one by one with his blade.
The system issued successive
notifications, informing him that
several levels had been achieved in
sequence. Sitting at top a pile of
defeated wolves, he received
congratulations from the system for
reaching level 15 and gaining new skill
points. he remarked. After leveling up,
killing monsters became so much easier.
Under the starry sky, he realized it was
late, and the intense cold made it
impossible to search for an exit, even
with food and water. Suddenly, something
caught his attention in the distance. As
he approached, he found several wolf
bodies scattered across the ground.
Crouching beside one of the animals, he
wondered why they were dead. Suddenly,
another wolf was struck down nearby.
Soon after, a mysterious figure appeared
at top a rock holding two wolves.
[music] his gaze fixed on the silhouette
as the question arose, "Who is that
person?" His character sheet updated,
indicating he had reached level 16.
Inspecting one of the dead wolves, he
noticed it was as if all the blood had
been drained from its body. He
immediately concluded that humans
weren't responsible for these deaths.
With a sudden movement, he spun around
and exclaimed in shock, "That can't be."
Staring at the desolate landscape, the
situation felt strange to him. Beside
the corpses, he claimed to have seen
someone there just seconds ago. Doubt
assailed him as he wondered if other
players were trapped in this place just
like him. One detail caught his
attention. The body's blood seemed to
have been completely drained by
something. Still, he hesitated to
believe such ferocious tactics could
have been used by another player.
Suddenly, he realized he was wrong. A
danger alert flashed right in front of
him. Something shot past him at
incredible speed. With an immediate
reflex, he sharply turned towards the
attack. A tentacle slammed into the
ground with force. The creature's tip
dripped blood before writhing on the
surface. Faced with the scene, he
observed the monster before him as the
system informed him that his weapon's
durability had decreased. The conclusion
hit him with chilling clarity. Humans
hadn't killed those wolves. From the
shadows, a jackal-headed humanoid figure
emerged. It was clear these deaths were
caused by a highle monster. He quickly
realized this enemy was nothing like the
arena wolves. A chilling thought struck
him. If his stats hadn't boosted after
leveling up, he'd be dead right now. The
monster watched its own hand regenerate
before his eyes. In that instant,
Chenula identified the creature's
ability, regeneration. A system screen
flashed, revealing the enemy's name,
Wandering Dominator, level unknown. The
description called it the King of Speed
at the top of the food chain, feeding on
the blood of other creatures. It also
made it clear no one could escape its
hunt. Even prepared for any monster, the
creature's murderous aura was utterly
overwhelming. His body felt pinned to
the ground, utterly unable to move. All
he could do was wait to be hunted. In
that moment, he admitted he'd never felt
such intense fear before. Chenju Lee
stared down the monster before him. A
scream tore from his throat as he
yelled, "Demons!" With a simple flick of
its hand, the creature attacked. The
blow struck him fullon. Still, he
managed to recover and braced for its
next move. Leaping into the air, he
tried to strike the creature from above.
He declared firmly that he wouldn't be
intimidated. His sword sliced through
the air in a precise strike, but the
attack passed right through his target,
hitting only the ground. Confused, he
looked back, trying to understand what
just happened. The monster instantly
appeared behind him. With no time to
react, a punch sent him flying. Chenji
Lelay tumbled across the ground from the
impact. With effort, he scrambled to his
feet and started running. He plunged his
blade into the ground to halt his
momentum. Wondering if this was the
absolute speed the system had mentioned.
The monster stared at him and uttered
words in an unknown tongue. Immediately
after, the creature lunged and struck
him brutally. The impact sent him to his
knees, his sword clattering to the
ground, hand pressed to his chest. He
knew that last blow could have easily
killed him. Still, he wondered what this
creature truly wanted. In response, his
sword was flung back, embedding itself
in the ground right before him. Then,
the monster returned the weapon again,
repeating the same words in an unknown
tongue. Confused, [music] the
protagonist asked why the creature kept
returning his sword and what its real
intention was. Without answering, the
creature gestured with its hand,
directly inviting him to combat. A
chilling thought struck him. Was the
monster just toying with him? The
situation felt like a cat playing with
its prey, not devouring it immediately,
but toying with it before the final
strike. Seizing a moment of
carelessness, he managed to break free
and launch an attack against the
monster. Lying on the ground, Cheng Le
cursed his situation as the wandering
dominator approached. It was clear the
enemy was too fast and ordinary attacks
wouldn't work. Without warning, the
creature grabbed him by the collar.
Lifted into the air, Chenila snarled,
"You bastard." The wandering dominator
stared at him and uttered the word,
"humans." Surprise washed over Chenila.
This type of creature could talk. With
contempt, [music] the monster declared,
"Humans were nothing but weak worms." In
response, the young man slashed the
creature's arm and broke free.
Retaliation came swift. A precise sword
strike. Chenula hurled back the insult,
calling his foe a beetlebrained worm.
The wandering dominator stared at the
wound on his hand. Amused, he declared,
"It's been centuries since a human made
me this excited." Chenzila shot back,
"I'm a little excited myself." He
refused to die. Not when he still had
family, friends, and a long life ahead
to live with them. With a firm voice, he
roared, "Wait for my return." A beam of
light pierced the heavens. A
notification flashed. His extraordinary
fighting spirit had activated the
revelation of the god Letoia. Another
message revealed. All his attributes had
just surged by a 100 points. His body
shifted, adopting a new powerful combat
stance. Satisfied, the wandering
dominator smirked. Now you're better.
Come closer. In a flash, Chen Jle
lunged, slashing the creature. The
impact sent his foe reeling. Giving no
quarter, the young man unleashed a rapid
flurry of blows. A system warning
blared. Weapon durability zero.
Unusable. He prepared to hurl the broken
sword's hilt, then slammed a direct
punch into the creature's face. The
force of the blow sent the wandering
dominator h hurtling into a mountain.
Confident, Chenilo declared, "I'll kill
you and take your experience." But then
his enemy reappeared behind him,
transformed into a new terrifying form.
The attack came swift, slamming him
against the jagged rocks. The creature
stalked towards the fallen young man,
sneering, "Foolish human! A species no
better than worms. Wounded, Chenille
wondered if he could possibly defeat him
in this state. Showing no further
interest, the monster turned and began
to walk away. Raising a hand, he invoked
a new terrifying ability. An enormous
skeletal creature materialized in the
sky, casting a chilling shadow. The
wandering dominator bid the human
farewell. Immediately, the summoned
beast descended from the heavens,
crashing down on Cheni Lelay. The
protagonist's body was flung backward,
already gravely wounded. A final
chilling doubt gripped him. "Am I going
to die?" His hand fell lifelessly beside
a notification. "HP0,
you have died." A soft feminine voice
asked, "Are you awake?" His vision
blurred, then cleared. He was sitting on
a bed in an unfamiliar room. Bending
forward, he struggles to catch his
breath. Doubt grips him as he wonders if
he's even alive. He walks to the window,
questioning if he managed to escape the
game. Quickly, however, he realizes
that's not the case. Looking outside,
his confusion deepens. Where on earth
could this place be? Back at the bed, he
opens a system screen. [music] Since the
interface is still there, he concludes
he's still trapped in the game. The
memory of being killed by the monster
floods back, clashing with the fact that
he's now sitting there perfectly fine.
Lifting his shirt, he confirms there are
no injuries on his body and starts to
question what's going on. Just then, a
woman enters the room holding a basin.
Cautiously, she asks if he's awake. For
a few moments, they stare at each other
in silence. In response to her greeting,
he confirms he just woke up. Without
another word, the woman rushes out and
announces to Grandpa Ubé that he's
awake. Chenji Lelay's confusion
intensifies as he wonders if the game
transported him to the beginner's
village. Outside, an older man named Ubé
was gathering herbs. Hearing the call,
he stops what he's doing and asks what
she said. Turning to Chenila, the woman
asks, surprised, "Were you killed?" Now
facing both of them, he confirms his
chest was pierced and asks how he got
there. She explains that Grandpa Ubé
found him while hunting. lighting his
pipe, the elder [music] states that the
young man was on the verge of death, but
not dead. He then adds that this place
is neither the game nor the beginner's
village he keeps mentioning. UB also
clarifies that they are not NPCs or
players as the young man insists.
Unconvinced, Chenile refuses to believe
them, asserting that this is the game
world and they are mistaken. Suddenly,
an idea strikes him. Summoning the
system screen, he asks them both to look
[music] closely. UB and the woman stare
at the screen, understanding absolutely
nothing. Pointing to the interface, he
shows them the tabs for quests, game,
status, [music] equipment, and even the
mini map. The woman asks her grandfather
if the monster hit him so hard it
scrambled his brain. [music] And UB
agrees he seems extremely confused.
Realizing he couldn't contact the GM or
find Xiaomi's ID, he understood [music]
he was completely cut off from the
outside world. Anguish swelled within
him as he wondered how he could ever
escape this place. [music] Desperate, he
screamed at the system interface. I want
to go home. A voice replied, stating,
"No one can leave," Ubé finished the
sentence. [music] "No one in the entire
Latinia desert can leave." Incredulous,
Chenilo demanded, "How is this possible?
How did everyone end up here?" The woman
then explained that according to
legends, the only way to gain freedom
was to find the location of Cabri's
temple. The legends also claimed this
desert was an endless labyrinth. She
added that countless people had left the
city in search of the temple, but no one
had ever returned alive. As time passed,
everyone eventually accepted this
reality as continuing to live seemed
better than marching to their deaths.
Uber added that new people were sent
there every year, but he had never
witnessed anyone successfully escape. In
a counseling tone, he urged the young
man to accept reality and suggested Sie
take him on a tour of the city later.
Even so, Chenilo insisted, "That's
impossible. I was transported directly
into the game." Suddenly, a new quest
notification flashed before him. He
stared at the quest titled Cabri's
feathered vengeance and wondered what it
was about. The description stated the
task was to find Cabri's temple in the
desert, defeat the guardian monster,
Mais, and free the god. The reward for
completing the quest was the key to
escaping the sealed land, the Latinia
desert. Lying in the grass, Chenille
reflected that while he still didn't
know why he'd been sent to this place,
at least now he had a goal. escape the
desert by finding Cabri's temple and
killing Nabris. When that moment came,
he would be ready to find a way out. A
voice called out to Chenile. Sitting up,
he noticed a woman approaching in the
distance. As she drew closer, she asked
why he was there, revealing she had been
looking for him. Standing up, Chenille
apologizes, explaining he had nothing to
do and just went for a walk. Then he
points to the horizon and asks if the
Latinia desert is in that direction. She
replies, "In a way, yes." She then
explains that their current location is
actually surrounded by the desert.
Hearing this, Chenji Lelay remarks that
he doesn't know how long it will take to
find the temple. Surprised, she asks if
he's really planning to look for it.
Chenile confirms, stating he needs to
get out of this place. [music]
Seriously, she warns him, "There's no
temple there. You'll die if you go."
Without hesitation, he replies, "I've
already died once. I'll find that temple
no matter the cost." After that, Saly
invites him to go to the city together.
They walk side by side towards the city.
As they walk, Sali asks again if he
really intends to search for the temple.
His answer is simple and direct. Yes.
[music] She then warns him that the
desert is full of powerful monsters, and
even Grandfather Ubé can't guarantee
he'll defeat them. Confidently, Chenille
tells her not to worry, claiming his
fighting ability usually surprises
people. Suddenly, an attack rains down
from the sky, heading straight for them.
Chenille watches the strike approach,
and an explosion rips through the middle
of the road. Three men emerge walking
through the rising dust. The group's
leader grins and declares, "The prey has
been caught." Shrouded in smoke, the
protagonist wonders what's happening. In
a swift move, Sales and blocks an attack
aimed at Chenile. [music] Kneeling on
the ground, Sali questions if the blow
was really blocked by a wall of fire.
The leader approaches and greets Salie,
saying, "We meet again." [music] In
response, she asks, "You again, Bobin?"
Confused, Chenille demanded, "What's
happening? Why are we being attacked?"
Salie then explained she'd forgotten to
mention that the hunter thieves in this
region were even more dangerous than the
monsters themselves. One of the men
added that they weren't willing to hunt
in Latinaya, preferring to steal from
others instead. Boan, for his part,
described them as a bunch of cowards who
lived by hunting and killing their own
kind. As he finished speaking, a sword
materialized in his hands. Watching the
scene unfold, Chenille wondered what
kind of ability that was. Boon turned to
Salie [music] saying, "Last time you
managed to escape, but it won't be so
easy now." Sali adopted a firm stance,
[music] ready for combat. Then she
yelled at Chenji to fall back and find
Grandpa Ubé, leaving the fight to her.
With an arrogant smirk, Boan declared
her spells couldn't harm him. He further
taunted, saying she'd be better off
coming back with him obediently.
Finally, Bob added that he might
consider letting that idiot go. A
question hung in the air. Was another
storm brewing? The path back to the
village was long and silent. Amidst the
waiting, Ubé found it strange that Saly
hadn't returned from the settlement yet.
With a mocking tone, Bobin questioned,
"Did you really think you'd be free to
go back and find that old man?" He
bluntly stated her spells were useless
and that it would be best to obey and
return with him. The taunt continued as
he added he might consider letting that
idiot go. Stepping in front of Chenila,
Saly retorted, "That won't happen. Not
even in your dreams." The threat came
immediately with Boan warning her not to
blame him for what he'd do next. [music]
Turning quickly, she told Chenilo to
run, assuring him she'd find a way to
stop them. His answer was simple and
firm. Surprised, Saly turned and asked,
"What did you say?" With conviction, he
declared that even though they'd only
just met, the word escape didn't exist
for him. He made it clear, admitting he
wasn't the kind of person to abandon a
companion and run away alone. In a
sudden, brutal move, the opponent
slammed him against a tree. Sali's
scream echoed as she saw Boon holding
the young man. with contempt. He called
him trash and demanded, "Who do you
think you are? Do you really believe you
can fool yourself with those words? You
don't use your mouth to talk. You use
[music] force." Against all
expectations, Chenilo managed to grab
his opponent's wrist. The question came
directly, asking if Boan really thought
he was strong. He then asked with biting
irony if this strength boasted about was
only good for sneak attacks. The answer
came in the form of a punch to the face,
which Bob managed to dodge by lunging
backward. Calling the young man
despicable, he showed surprise,
realizing the boy's strength had been
enough to dislocate his wrist. His
assessment was immediate. The enemy was
fast. Even with all his agility points,
he hadn't perceived the stealthy attack.
Salowy approached, asking if he was
okay. He calmly replied, "Yes." Turning
to Boon, she demanded, "What exactly are
you trying to do?" His voice exploded
with frustration. I've told you
countless times I want you to be my
girlfriend. Her refusal was firm. That's
impossible. Just give up. Confusion
etched on his face. Chenulo asked all
[music] this fuss. Just because of that,
she confirmed it. Enraged, Bobin roared.
Are you rejecting me because of him?
Saly tried to clarify. You're wrong.
Chenille is just a friend. Disbelief
twisted his features. Friend? That's
just an excuse. Without another word,
Bob challenged him to a man-to-man
battle, snarling. Don't hide like a
turtle. He made a promise. If Chenille
won, he'd stop bothering her. A side
quest, Shadows Madness, activated.
[music] The condition, defeat Shadow
Swordsman Boan. The reward, the lost map
of Latinaya. He realized this had
triggered a quest. Could getting the map
mean he could finally escape this place?
Faced with that possibility. He agreed
and accepted the deal. Boon confirmed
the agreement. Boon's two henchmen
exchanged glances, wondering why their
boss had suddenly gotten so serious. One
muttered, "The air just turned sour."
[music] With clear concern, Sali asked,
"Are you sure about this? You can't beat
him. Boen is the strongest shadow
swordsman in this city." Curiosity
peaked. Chenji Lelay questioned the
title. "Shadow swordsman? Is he really
that strong?" Salowy explained that
swordsmen who wielded shadow power
didn't just have a speed advantage.
"Their strength is terrifyingly high,
too," she added. "A blade wreathed in
shadows can kill you." Unfazed, he
replied. "It doesn't matter. I've
already died once." Weighing his
options, he declared he'd rather risk
everything than stay trapped here. Then
he turned to Salie, stating, "I'm not
leaving you behind." In a calm tone, he
tried to reassure her. "This is a battle
that needs to be fought. If I win, maybe
we can both leave this place."
"Surprised," she whispered. "Leave?"
Chenille charged without hesitation,
grabbing Boon and questioning his
transformation, accusing him of not
living his own life properly. Then
Chenille's mind sharpened on the real
objective. All he had to do was defeat
Bob, get the map, and escape. An image
of Boon flickered behind Chen Jule. In a
swift reflex, he tried to land a kick.
Bob easily dodged the attack, then
revealed himself beside his followers.
Sali and Chenile realized they were
surrounded in the middle of the forest.
Wielding his blade, Boon taunted, asking
if [music] this was all the strength of
the guy Sali was so interested in. Doubt
gripped Chenilo as he realized his
opponent was only defending, never
striking back. Seeing their predicament,
Sali urged Chenilo to go find Grandpa Wu
Boule, insisting he was the only one who
could stop Boan. His refusal was
immediate, leaving Salie stunned.
Calmly, [music] he told her to relax,
explaining that this battle had to
happen if they wanted to escape
together. Confused, Saly demanded, "What
are you talking about? What does beating
Bob have to do with getting out of
here?" Cheng Lo explained that ever
since he entered this game, nothing had
made sense. The only clue the system
gave was to defeat Bob to get the map
that showed the exit. He concluded that
everything seemed normal, but it felt
like someone was pulling all the strings
behind the scenes. Calling out to his
opponent, Chen Gille locked his gaze.
Boon stood still. His sword plunged into
the ground. Tauntingly, he asked Chen
Jilo<unk>'s name and challenged him,
"Are you [music] scared?" The answer
came firm, denying any fear and
comparing his enemy to a hidden turtle.
Bobin scoffed. Fighting trash without an
interesting weapon is no fun. With that,
he picked up his sword and declared that
since this was an official fight, it had
to be fair. He then threw his blade
towards Chenile. [music] He added, "I
don't want Saly or my men thinking I'm
intimidating anyone." Among his
followers, whispers spread, "The boss is
serious this time." With a smirk,
Chenile noted that his opponent didn't
seem like the rule following type,
remembering the earlier sneak attack.
Boan denied the accusation, calling it
just a reflex. But Chenille shot back,
"Stop making excuses." Bracing [music]
himself, he agreed to fight fairly. He
stated clearly, "Either way, I have to
defeat you to get that map." In a
menacing tone, Boan warned, "You'll
taste the power of the shadow blade."
Without wasting a second, Cheng Leaped
into the [music] air, aiming for an
overhead strike. In a flash, Boan
reappeared directly in front of him.
Their two swords clashed with a violent
crash. Salowy screamed a warning,
alerting him to something behind him.
Two of Boon's followers lunged from
behind. Skillfully, he parried one blow,
even as another attack came from the
front. Raising his sword, he blocked
Bob's attack, too. The pressure
intensified as the shadow blade pushed
him back, a technique beginning to
immobilize him. The grim realization hit
him instantly. This was bad. Saly cried
out Chenule's name. Gravely wounded, he
struggled to breathe, his chest heaving
erratically. With his blade dripping
blood, Buban simply told him to give up.
In a cold, chilling tone, he declared,
"You'll never defeat me." Suddenly, a
system panel popped up offering the
option to surrender the mission.
Detecting his injuries, the system asked
if he wanted to use a healing skill. His
answer was immediate. Yes. In mere
seconds, his body began to regenerate
and his health points were fully
restored. Bob and his men burst into
laughter, finding the idea of a priest
challenging a shadow assassin utterly
absurd. With a sneer, Boan told Chenule
he could leave without Salie, claiming
someone who awakened as a priest wasn't
worthy of facing him. The taunt
continued as he asked if the young man
was afraid of being defeated and
humiliated in front of Saly. Slowly
turning, Chenilo asked, "What did you
just say?" Impatient, he ordered Boan to
stop talking and fight. Accepting the
challenge, Boon declared he would show
the true power of a shadow assassin.
Immediately after, he created two
identical clones of himself.
Unexpectedly, one of them appeared right
behind him. In a menacing tone, Boan
remarked that the young man had survived
by sheer luck that time, but wouldn't be
so lucky again. As the clone lunged to
attack him, Chenula quickly realized his
opponent had split into three. It was
clear that shadow swordsmen relied on
their cloning abilities in combat. He
deduced the first attack came from a
clone and that the real Bob could swap
places with his shadows. Immediately, he
recognized the situation had become a
serious problem. With utter contempt,
Boon declared that the compassion he
felt for Chenile for awakening as a
healer now disgusted him. He then
promised to unleash the shadow
swordsman's unstoppable attack before
killing him. Raising his sword, Chenile
provoked him. Show me how strong you
really are. Without hesitation, he
charged headlong towards the three
enemies. In response, Chenul was met
with an insult [music] called stupid.
Immediately after, Boon commanded his
clones to advance. One clone unleashed a
powerful strike towards him while the
other two moved in from the flanks. Boon
extended his hand towards him and
suddenly Chen Lelay was suspended in
midair, utterly unable to move. Seizing
the opening, all three attacked him
simultaneously while he remained
immobilized. He barely manages to
resist, noting how the power of just one
clone is almost unbearable. Meanwhile,
the other two watch from a distance.
[music] Suddenly, one of the clones
reappears behind him. The threat is
clear. He hears, "You [music] survived
last time, but you won't be so lucky
now." Just as the attack lands, Chenila
simply vanishes. The clone's sword hits
only empty ground, a single word
escaping its lips. "Perhaps." [music]
Sali and Boon's men watch, utterly
shocked. Confused, the clone wonders how
this is possible. "What the hell is
going on?" Chenju reappears at a safe
distance, muttering, "That was close. I
almost died." A system notification pops
up, informing him he's gained a new
hidden skill called flash. After a
critical hit, he immediately realizes
that without this skill, it would have
been his end. Now steady on his feet, he
declares he just needs to get rid of the
remaining clones. Bobin starts to laugh
as one of his doppelgangers dissolves
before him. With genuine interest, he
comments, "Impressive escape, but you
only wounded one clone." He then
declares, "The real game begins now."
And calls his sword back. Chengile
watches as the blade takes shape in his
hand. In real combat, there are no
rules. Boon orders him, "Die!" as the
clones prepare to strike. Boon warns
him, his voice laced with menace. I'm
not playing anymore. Keep your eyes open
and watch. The clones then transform
their swords into spears. One of them
positions itself, preparing a final
blow. Moments later, a massive barrage
of projectiles is fired at him. The
protagonist finds himself completely
surrounded by the assault. One of the
projectiles whizzes past his head. With
no other choice, he materializes a
shield to defend against the storm of
blows. [music]
Even so, he's forced to dodge multiple
attacks coming from all directions. The
projectiles merge, forming a creature
called Banks, which lunges to attack
him. A system notification appears,
warning him that he's lost 30% of his HP
and without his weapon can only
passively defend by dodging. Suddenly,
one of the clones appears above him,
declaring, "Finally got you." Chenile is
struck by one of the blows. Watching the
scene, Boon states, "Death is
approaching." Moments later, the young
man is immobilized by a flurry of
attacks that pin him in the air. At that
instant, a sphere forms around him,
shattering the chains that held him
captive. Coldly, Bobin declares, "I'll
find a good tomb for Chenule." Suddenly,
a massive beam of light descended from
the heavens, catching everyone off
guard. The impact slammed into the
ground with devastating force. Sali and
Bobin's men stared at the scene, utterly
shocked. Amidst the storm, Bobin and
Chenille looked up, seeing a figure
begin to form within the clouds. Ubé
appeared and with a simple wave of his
hand commanded everyone to stop. Under
the rainy night sky, a voice told Cheng
Le not to move. Meanwhile, Saly tended
to the young man's wounds, apologizing
for not even being able to apply the
medicine properly. The storm intensified
in the sky, accompanied by incessant
[music] rain, even covered in wounds,
Chenila remained standing. Just then,
Ubri appeared, telling the young man
that it was enough. Saly rushed to him,
asking if he was all right. His answer
came firm. Yes. despite his [music]
condition. UB called them to leave,
warning that the storm was closing in.
However, Uban began to laugh as they
prepared to leave. His laughter
continued, laced with contempt as if he
found the entire situation ridiculous.
He taunted, questioning if the old man
truly believed he could just show up and
take them away. In response, Ubé called
him arrogant, stating that if he hadn't
blocked Chenille's attack, Bobin would
already be defeated. Ubé directly asked
if his opponent still intended to
continue even after having already died
once. Bobin retorted, questioning if he
had truly been killed. He refused to
believe that someone who awakened as a
healer would be capable of killing him.
His fury exploded as he yelled that if
UB hadn't interfered, he would have
killed Chenille long ago. At that
moment, a system notification announced,
"Mission complete with Boan's defeat.
Map obtained." Surprised, Chenile
wondered if the system truly considered
that a victory. Without room for
discussion, Ubé hurried the group,
insisting they needed to leave before
the storm worsened. Boon's men also
warned him to retreat, saying that if
the storm fully [music] hit, everything
would be over. Still, Boon screamed for
Chenile to return, claiming the victor
hadn't been decided yet. His shouts
continued, demanding they return and
finish the fight while his own men tried
to restrain him. Before leaving, Chenile
looked back and watched his opponent in
the rain. He wondered what was wrong
with that red head and turning to UB
[music] said he was going, emphasizing
that the storm was coming. Later, safe
in a shelter during the rainy night, a
voice told Chenile not to move. Lying
down and completely bandaged, he heard
Saly ask for patience, assuring him
everything would be ready soon. She then
apologized for not being able to apply
the medicine correctly while he moved.
Embarrassed, Chenille apologized for
bothering her and her grandfather. In
response, she said she hadn't expected
him to be so skilled. Curious, he asked
if Bobin knew her as well as her
grandfather Ubé. Saly revealed that she
and Bobin grew up together like
siblings, leaving Chenila visibly
surprised. After that, she finished the
treatment, announcing that all his
wounds had been properly cared for.
Sitting up on the bed, he sincerely
thanked Saly. She replied that it should
be her thanking him. Soon after, she
stated that she needed to help her
grandfather Ubé and that he could rest,
to which Chenille agreed. As he was left
alone, Chenilo wondered what might have
happened to his mother and was sure she
was worried about not finding him.
Still, the conviction remained. He could
return soon now that he possessed the
mission map obtained after Boon's
defeat. Analyzing the map, he concluded
that he just needed to follow the signs,
find the temple, and defeat the boss to
be able to leave. The decision came
swiftly. As soon as the rain stopped, he
would depart. Just then, a system
notification popped up. He'd obtained a
hidden key. Curiosity peaked. He
wondered what this key was for. The
system quickly explained it was for
opening treasure chests that randomly
dropped during battles. Clutching the
key, he finally understood its purpose.
[music]
Feeling refreshed, Chen Jila declared
he'd be out of here soon. Amidst the
pouring rain, Uber appeared at the door.
Seeing him, the young man greeted,
"Master Ubé is here." With a slight nod,
the elder apologized for not coming
sooner, explaining the rain had been too
heavy. Chenji Lo replied, "It was fine."
Then asked about UB's wound and the
reason for his visit. The old man told
him not to worry, assuring him it was
just a superficial injury that would
heal in a few days. He then confessed he
truly hadn't expected the boy to win
against Boan. Without hiding his
sincerity, Chenile admitted that if Boan
hadn't been so overconfident, he
wouldn't [music] have stood a chance.
Lighting his pipe, UB explained that a
fight wasn't just about strength, but
also will and technique. He concluded
that victory had been won by sheer
chance. Curiosity returned as the young
man asked why Boon had become what he
was today, especially since he and Salie
grew up together. Ubé replied that was a
long story. Before leaving, he stated
that the storms would cease the next day
and they would reach the mountain slope.
Finally, the master promised to teach
him, provided he [music] could pass his
test. Ubé recalled that 10 years ago, it
was raining heavily when he and little
Salie arrived in Ladia. Passing a house,
they discovered a strange creature had
attacked the family living there. It was
too late. The monster had already killed
the man and woman. The family's child,
however, had survived, persistently,
asking what was wrong with his mother.
Just then, the creature appeared on the
rooftop, watching the boy. Without
warning, it lunged at the boy, who
screamed desperately for his mother.
Uber appeared, and summoned a bolt of
lightning. Faced with the attack, the
monster recoiled, glared at its new
opponent, then leaped, [music] fleeing
into the forest. The boy kept calling
for his mother while UB watched him in
silence. That boy was Bob. After burying
his parents, old Ubé took him in. Later,
Chenila asked why Bobin had turned out
that way. Ubé explained that the young
man felt his life's purpose was to find
the monster, while Ubé himself preferred
a peaceful life. The elder stated that
Latonaya harbored extremely powerful
creatures, and not even he would dare
claim he could kill the one that
attacked Boon's family. Hearing this,
Chenila [music] understood Boon's
departure. Realizing that even Grandpa
Ubé considered the monster a terrifying
existence, UB stood up and advised the
young man to rest as they would need to
cross the desert to find the temple. He
also acknowledged that with his current
strength, the young man could have been
killed by a monster before even reaching
their destination. Chenula himself had
been easily defeated in the last fight,
even with attribute bonuses, forcing him
to improve at all costs. At this,
Chenula asked Grandpa Ubé to wait. The
young man requested UB teach him to
fight, stating his desire to grow
stronger, to find the temple and leave
this place. The old man's only reply was
an invitation to rest. Still, the young
man insisted, claiming he was serious
and that there truly was a way for them
to leave this place. Watching UB walk
away, Chenille questioned himself,
wondering if he'd been too impulsive.
Standing in the rain, the elder told the
young man to go to the hillside the next
day once the storm passed. [music] If he
could overcome the test, Ubé promised to
teach him. Confident, Chenula guaranteed
he would certainly pass. [music] UB felt
the hope of leaving this place
rekindled, remembering the power that
had shattered his defenses. With that,
he considered that perhaps this boy
truly could get them all out of here. A
notification for the quest destroy the
slaughter appeared before Chenille. On
the screen, the daily routine tasks were
detailed. Weighted running, weighted
push-ups, and sit-ups. Analyzing them,
he recognized it was a devilish training
regimen, but too important to give up.
So, he accepted the task on the panel.
The young man began his training running
while carrying a heavy log. Next, he
completed the sets of push-ups and
sit-ups. He declared he hadn't felt like
he had a goal to fight for in a long
time, and now he was far more
enthusiastic. Upon completing the
grueling effort, he collapsed, [music]
exhausted, to the ground, and received
four attribute points for finishing the
task. Lying on the grass, he began to
ponder where he should distribute those
four [music] points. Considering his
healing and defense abilities, he
decided to invest two points in
intelligence and two in stamina.
Suddenly, Sali's voice called his name.
He asked why she was there, and the girl
explained she'd brought breakfast as
Grandpa Ubé had said he'd be in that
spot. Curious, she asked why he wasn't
dressed and if he'd been training,
handing him the food. The young woman
was surprised to learn that Grandpa Ubé
had promised to teach him how to fight,
and Chenile confirmed it. Saly
exclaimed, "That was great, eager to see
what kind of powers he'd develop." In
response, Chenile asked if it was
possible to awaken other abilities given
his profession was a healer. She
clarified that healer was just a
profession. Elemental attributes were
granted according to individual skills.
Professions merely offered a direction
for development, while attributes like
her fire, Ubra's thunder, and Boan's
shadow determined combat capabilities.
Hearing this, Chenule mused about what
kind of awakening he would have. Later,
Uber explained that God created the
races, quests, and professions of this
world from elements, both visible, like
water and fire, and invisible like light
and shadow. The world was comprised of
five continents. Polaris, where the
human race gathered, served as a major
trade hub. West of this territory,
amidst active volcanoes, stood Megala,
the homeland of the Dragon Knights. To
the north stretched Zantho, [music]
the continent of eternal winter,
inhabited by giants and beasts and rich
in minerals. To the east lay Bergamma, a
vast region covered by a dense forest.
To the south was Chubitic, the continent
known for the dwarf's extraordinary
forging skills. [music] Saly recounted
the legend. Cross the sea and you could
reach the gods abode receiving infinite
power. For a long time, Chenula believed
gods and the endless sea were just
myths. But after arriving here, he began
to consider they might be real.
Convinced, he commented that finding the
temple to leave Latinaya shouldn't be a
myth either, and they would undoubtedly
leave this place. [music] At his
conviction, Saly simply nodded in
agreement. At that moment, Uber
approached, commenting he hadn't
expected them both to be awake before
him. With a teasing tone, the old man
asked if Lily had confessed so quickly,
but she quickly scolded him, telling him
to stop talking nonsense. Then Uber
turned to Chenilo and asked if he was
prepared to accept the challenge. The
young man met his gaze, declaring
without hesitation, "I'm ready." Uber
then explained that to utilize the
strength of the elements, one must
increase their perception.
Concentrating, he began to prepare for
the demonstration. According to the
elder, one must experience the flow of
elements and more, feel their very
existence. A powerful energy erupted
from the ground before them. The Elder
revealed a habitat of teleporting beasts
discovered by chance during a hunt.
Next, [music] Ubé presented the Kuzil
sword, his battle companion for decades.
He explained he would activate the array
in 3 days, and Chenglay's test would be
to use the sword to kill the beast king
and bring back its head. Uber warned him
that the blade's true strength could
only be unleashed after his elemental
power awakened. He also cautioned that
he might not return, and he could still
back out. Without flinching, the young
man gripped the sword, declaring, "I
will never surrender." Turning away, he
promised, "I'll return with the Beast
King's head." At that instant, the
Awakening with the Beast King quest
activated, prompting for confirmation.
Without hesitation, Chenula confirmed
the mission. The time limit to complete
the task was then set at 72 hours.
Moments later, he was teleported to the
location as Ubé watched from a distance.
The old man mused that those orcs
possessed incredible defensive power and
the strength of the elements would come
to the young man in his moments of
greatest despair. Chenulo materializes
at the mission site. Enveloped in a
flash of light, he scans his
surroundings, wondering why this
landscape is so utterly different from
the desert he expected. Shrugging off
the confusion, he focuses on his task,
locating the orc horde. He quickly
realizes that taking down the boss at
his current level will be a monumental
challenge, so he'll need to clear out
some smaller monsters first. Suddenly, a
projectile screams past him. With a
swift move, he evades the attack, which
crashes into the ground. A chilling
thought strikes him. Was he already
noticed? He looks up, watching the
approaching threat. The creature reveals
itself as Dotham, Latinia's most elusive
monster. A memory flashes. Even before
his powers awaken, the sword [music] can
still kill depending on how it's
wielded. Determined, he grips the blade,
ready to test its true power. As his
combat experience soarses, Chenji Lelay
charges forward, declaring, "I'm not
that rookie player anymore." Dotham
retaliates, lashing out with its
tentacles. This time, Chenji Li feels no
terror, but an intense fighting spirit.
He realizes he can grow stronger by
defeating prey and leveling up. Seizing
the opening, he deflects the creature's
tentacles with his sword. Using the
momentum, he launches himself skyward.
He hurdles towards the monster, fueled
by the thrill of leveling up. Midair,
the young man prepares for the final
blow. With unwavering resolve, he spins
the sword in his hands. In a precise
vertical strike, he shatters the
creature in two. Victory secured, he
gains experience points and attributes.
But his triumph is short-lived as a
surging horde of creatures materializes
before him. Elsewhere, Sali confronts
UB, demanding to know why he sent the
boy into the beast's habitat, a place
even UB himself had never dared to
venture. The old man simply replies,
"I'm taking a trip to the city. Have
dinner ready when I get back." Salely
watches her grandfather walk away, a
knot of unease tightening in her
stomach. His answer was far too vague.
Under the brutal moonlight, Chenji lay
roared, "This isn't enough." With every
ounce of his strength, he slammed into a
giant creature, then unleashed his
energy in a devastating, worldshattering
strike. The sheer power of that blow
made Bob real, wondering how he could
have possibly lost to him. The energy
blast hit him headon. Yet the question
of how he was defeated still haunted
him. He couldn't comprehend how a priest
without an awakened element could
possess such terrifying attack power.
Power that made him tremble. The memory
of barely containing that strike
returned. A move he'd never even seen
Ubé use. Alone. Buban pondered Chenille,
beginning to question who he truly was.
In the relentless battle, Chenille
slaughtered a Dotham and leveled up.
Without a moment's rest, he kept pushing
forward, carving through creatures all
around him. More monsters fell, and his
level surged again. A notification
flashed, informing him he had leveled up
once more. Another message congratulated
him for reaching level 25, announcing
that the pharmacy was unlocked, and he
had 45 attribute points. The system then
asked if he wished to use 15 levels to
unlock the pharmacy. Realizing that the
levels he'd earned with such blood and
sweat would be consumed, he felt a jolt
of irritation. Chenilo understood that
each new upgrade would be harder and the
cost to unlock future items would only
skyrocket. The screen also showed that
unlocking different shop categories like
weapons and armor required consuming
levels. The real shock came when he
noticed the home appliances category
cost 300 levels. He concluded that while
accumulating levels was the best
long-term option, his immediate priority
was to kill the beast king and ensure
his own survival through medicine. The
pharmacy menu displayed various types of
medicine, including recovery, buffs, and
speed. Two options caught his eye. A
recovery item called Berserk Feather and
a buff known as Clums Burning Tears.
Upon closer inspection, he realized
they's medicine regenerated based on
percentages, making recovery more
effective at higher levels. determined,
he unlocked the pharmacy using 15
levels. Notifications informed him that
the item requirement was level eight,
while his current level was two. At that
moment, he declared, "Now two lives are
on the line." Immediately after, he
turned towards a loud bang. After
expending most of his energy in combat,
he decided to buy food from the
convenience store, which would leave him
with only one level remaining. The food
would reduce his hunger, and he deemed
the cost worthwhile. As he ate the
bread, he found it tough and remembered
Lily's was far more delicious. A
notification popped up. 12 hours had
passed with 60 remaining until the
mission's completion. He recalled Ubé
mentioning that the monster group
resided northwest, where he would likely
find the herb. Then, a system reminder
urged him to use his 45 unallocated
attribute points. Only then did he
realize he'd forgotten about them and
began to ponder how to best utilize
them. His strength and agility had
improved, but his MP and defense
remained low, potentially compromising
future skill damage. The risk of low HP
was facing an enemy that wouldn't give
him time to use potions. The situation
felt like a university exam, one he
could only take once. Still, accumulated
levels could be converted into attribute
points to achieve [music] desired combat
effects. With this in mind, he decided
to allocate 15 points to constitution,
[music]
15 to strength, and the remainder across
defense, agility, and magic. Decision
made, all that remained was to find the
lair and complete the trial. Worried,
Saly questioned UB for allowing Chenula
to be sent to such a dangerous lair. She
found him working the land. Calmly, the
old man reassured her, explaining he'd
left a mark on the sword and would save
him if he was in danger. Still uneasy,
the young woman asked again why her
grandfather had sent him there, as she'd
never heard him mention being there
himself. Uber clarified that he'd only
discovered the lair by chance during a
hunt. He then informed Lily he'd be
traveling to the city and asked for
meals to be ready upon his return. Sally
watched her grandfather, sensing his
answer was overly evasive. Without
another word, the old man turned and
went his way. Deep down, he knew the
only way to try and make Chenji Le give
up was to confront him with the truth of
that world. Even knowing it was an
almost impossible task, he still hoped
the young man would bring back the beast
king's head. For Ure, if that happened,
everyone would see Chenille as the one
capable of leading them out of this
place. After walking for about 3 hours,
Chenille continued exploring the region.
Logically, he concluded the lair
couldn't be far. Just then, screams for
help echoed in the distance. A woman
appeared, running desperately towards
him, carrying a child in her arms.
Surprised, [music] he wondered how a
woman and child had made it here and
rushed forward to help them. Trying to
calm her, he told her not to be afraid
and asked what had happened. She replied
that there were monsters and begged him
to save them. Ahead of them, a giant
imposing creature emerged. Immediately
after, a man appeared before Chenji
Lelay and commented on the young man's
prowess. A panel flashes describing the
demonic beast, slowm moving with
formidable defense, high [music]
destructive power, and immense vitality.
Immediately after, the profile of the
wild orc chief appears. Level 40, a
trainer capable of summoning and
controlling giant beasts to lead
attacks. Chengi Lelay warns that this
enemy's level far surpasses their last
encounter, possessing the same predatory
intelligence as other monsters. Because
of this, [music] he orders the others to
fall back. Still, he points out the good
news. If the orcs are in this region,
their lair can't be far. At the same
time, he wonders if the woman and boy
are new arrivals, transported here just
like him and his grandfather. The woman
clutches the child to her chest while
the young man's gaze remains fixed on
them both. Kneeling before her, he
assures her there's no reason to fear,
for he will protect them. The orc chief
begins to insult him repeatedly,
snarling, "You insect! You stupid,
ignorant, weak, insolent creature." A
chilling memory surfaces. The man who
killed him in the past had also called
him an insect. The enemy then orders his
beasts, "Stretch your necks, my beasts.
Savor the pleasure of chewing your
prey." One of the creatures roars,
"Charge! Shred these worms and have fun
with it." Without a moment's hesitation,
Chenilo charges forward, attacking the
first creature in an instant. A flurry
of rapid blows slams into the monster's
body. Under the force of the continuous
impacts, the creature is forced to
recoil. With a final move, the enormous
beast is launched skyward. Without
hesitation, Chenille moves onto the next
opponent. As he advances, he comments,
"They're much stronger than before." The
orc watches the young man stand amidst
the fallen monsters. Seeing this, he
turns to the largest creature and orders
it, "Kill him!" Even so, that monster
also crashes to the ground, defeated.
Enraged, the orc chief screams at his
last remaining subordinate, calling him
useless, he snarls, "You useless fool.
Get out of my way. I'll kill him
myself." Suddenly, a blade appears
before the chief's face. ChenjiV orders
him, "Drop your weapon and don't move or
your head will roll." Turning to the
other orc, he points his sword at its
neck and demands, "Why are you hunting?"
The orc declares, "I am a servant of a
god. If you kill me, a curse will fall
upon you. Without a flicker of
hesitation, Chen Jilo cuts him down with
his sword. Then he warns, "Next time,
the blade will be your answer and
demands," where is the lair? The orc
points to a distant mountain range and
replies, "It's located there."
Blackstone Mountain is confirmed as the
beast's lair. The chief glares at the
young man with a defiant look. Suddenly,
he lunges towards the woman and child.
Grabbing them both, he threatens, "I'll
slowly break your necks and suck your
blood." With explicit cruelty, he
declares, "That's exactly what I'll do."
At high speed, the protagonist and bros
charge forward together, leaving
multiple after images. The orc chief is
struck from all sides simultaneously.
His image seems to freeze as if trapped
in a frame before he sent flying through
the air. A blonde man approaches him,
praising him as a skilled fighter.
Meanwhile, a woman helps the mother and
child, asking who they are and how they
got there. She learns that three days
ago, the blonde man and his companion
were transported to this place and
attacked by orcs. He then followed the
tracks until he found the protagonist.
The man then introduces himself as Bros,
a warrior, extending his hand in
greeting. Bros then introduces the
hooded youth as Feloka, the assassin.
[music] Pointing to the woman beside
him, he identifies her as Raquel, the
healer. The young man shakes his hand
and introduces himself as Chen Gileiao,
asking to be called just Gileia.
Curious, Browse asks if he knows why
they were all transported to this place.
Gileia replies that he doesn't know, but
his gaze falls on the fallen orc. He
then adds, believing the orc might know
something. The surviving orc lies
sprawled on the ground. The group
gathers around him, and the creature
demands, "What are you doing?" He
screams, calling them worms for
disrespecting a god and declaring they
will all die for it. Someone calls him
by the name Ratchidler, making him react
instantly. Chengillo sits before
Rashidler and warns him he has some
questions. In a cold tone, he advises
him to behave and answer, "Unless you
want to die." As Feloka binds the orc's
hands, the others gather further back.
With the prisoner finally secured, the
group decides their next destination
will be the lair. Ratchidler insists
he's telling the truth, begging them to
believe him. He claims to have already
revealed everything he knows. He
screams, emphasizing that given his
position in the tribe, this is all the
knowledge he possesses, and that a god
brought them here to be food. He
reiterates that he is in this place only
by divine will and knows absolutely
nothing else. In a grand hall in the
city of Delks, someone challenges a man.
Have you lost your mind? Seated on the
throne, the ruler confronts him, asking
how he can still be so naive after all
these years. The other retorts, wanting
to know what the point of finding the
temple would be. Hicks, the elemental
wind mage, intervenes, stating they
cannot defeat the guardian monsters and
that he's placing his hopes in a boy who
doesn't even master the elements. An
elder advises him to immediately go and
kill the boy, warning that the entire
settlement will be in danger if the gods
are enraged. He continues, saying that
after that they can go to the gods and
beg for forgiveness. The [music] mage
retorts, questioning if it isn't
ridiculous that the god they speak of
would massacre them on a whim, treating
them like worms. The elder coldly
replies that sacrificing ignorant lives
doesn't matter, for the innocent
villagers still see them as heroes. He
then accuses Hicks of merely showing
weakness, doing nothing to prevent
others from dying. Surprised, the mage
asks, "What did you just say?" Tension
mounts as the old man prepares to strike
with his hand. Hicks reacts, [music]
launching a blow and shouts, "I'll send
you to the gods right now." Meanwhile,
Chenila's group discusses that they
don't know what kind of beasts they'll
encounter on the way to the lair. The
young man emphasizes that the journey
certainly won't be safe. They take a
brief pause as Feloka finishes binding
the prisoner. Bros explains that Raquel,
besides being a healer, can also use
magic to create barriers and amplify
elemental forces, which is why she must
stay to protect the others. She agrees
and assures them she will keep the area
safe until they return. With everything
set, Chenila announces they will now
head for the lair. Rachidler tries to
dissuade them, warning that the superior
beasts will devour them. The young man
questions if he fears that by guiding
them there, he'll end up devoured, too.
The prisoner reacts with pride, stating
he's not an orc who fears death. Even
so, he refuses to continue, shouting, "I
won't go. You'll die alone." Further
ahead, a grim sight awaited them. A
passage choked with bones and skeletons.
Orcs emerged, [music]
dragging a massive cage filled with
human prisoners deeper into the cavern.
They presented their grim cargo to their
king, reporting it was all the food
they'd found, awaiting further orders.
Suddenly, one of the orcs began to
freeze solid. He and the other guards
were completely immobilized. A mage
materialized before the prisoners,
attempting to reassure them, promising
to free them. He then joined other
heroes, rallying them to slay the
monsters and escape together. For him,
it was unforgivable that so many
innocents had been slaughtered for
selfish reasons. With a furious roar, he
declared to the beast, "You will pay in
blood for your deeds." Immediately
after, he unleashed a volley of sharp
projectiles towards the throne. The
attack surged directly at the king.
However, the projectiles froze midair,
halted before reaching their target. The
mage reacted with stunned surprise. His
body was then lifted from the ground.
Immobilized by an unseen force, he began
to float helplessly in the air.
Meanwhile, the other heroes questioned
what was happening, watching him held
captive like that. An invisible pressure
coursed through the mage's body, holding
him utterly paralyzed. From his throne
high above, the beast king stared at him
with chilling indifference. The force
crushing the conjurer's body intensified
gradually. Suddenly, his body
disintegrated in a massive explosion.
The blast wave slamming into the other
heroes. The survivors watched in horror,
covered in wounds. Beast King Fineir,
level 85, remained impassively seated on
his throne of bones. Outside, Rose
landed a precise kick on one of the
creatures. Feloka grabbed another
monster from behind, immobilizing it.
Chenule took his stance, ready for
combat. One of the beasts charged
directly at him, and without hesitation,
he met its assault, delivering a flurry
of repeated slashes. Rashidler observed
the fight, marveling at the group's
genius. He then noted that the young man
seemed even stronger than before. This
made Chenila begin to question his true
identity. He realized that as they
neared the cavern, the beasts and their
attacks grew more potent. However, the
experience needed to level up increased
at the same rate. Thus, he noted that
the group's progression was slow and
they needed to gain levels much faster.
Bros approached, asking if Chenile
wasn't yet accustomed to the battle's
intensity. He commented that the beasts
were slow but incredibly tough to kill
and he'd never seen anyone defeat them
so easily without mastering elemental
power. He added that the young man
seemed to be exactly the person he was
destined to meet. Impressed, Bros showed
his admiration and invited him to join
the group. Chengile Lelay questioned the
idea of forming a team. Bros then leaned
in with a grin, offering to introduce
him to Beautiful Girls, but the young
man already anticipated his words. In
response, Chen Gilele reminded him that
Bros had claimed to be the only member
of the group. Brushing it off, Bros.
urged them to keep moving forward, while
Chenile simply called him a chatterbox.
Feloka points ahead, declaring it must
be the cave entrance. The three prepare
to move forward. The group stops before
the massive entrance to the monster's
lair. Cheng Lei turns to ask the orc if
it's truly the entrance. At that
instant, he notices the rope lying on
the ground and the prisoner gone. Bros
comments that the orc escaped while they
were fighting. Rashidler bolts into the
cave's darkness. He plans to warn the
king about the human invasion, hoping
for a reward. [music] Despite this, the
group enters the cave, confirming
they've reached the right place. Bros
remarks that the [music] distinct smell
of orcs confirms the prisoner didn't
lie, announcing he'll lead the way.
Further in, they encounter an entrance
surrounded by enormous skulls. Chenula
observes, "It's strange they haven't
seen any orcs, even after walking for so
long." Bros then tells everyone to
observe the path ahead. Before them, a
fork appears, splitting into three
distinct passages. Bros suggests they'll
need to split up. In response, Chenille
reveals the fire gate in his hand. He
explains that the three will split up
and use a spell to call for help if they
find a clue or are in danger. Bros
chooses the left path for himself.
Chenille takes the right and Feloka
follows the middle one. Before they
depart, he reminds them to use the tot
spell if anything goes wrong. Thus, each
takes his respective path. Chenille
advances alone through his passage. The
need to level up quickly to reach the
top becomes clear, but no orcs appear
along the way. Faced with the eerie
silence, he braces himself for whatever
comes next. A presence approaches. A
creature emerges, stepping beside the
body of a person fallen on the ground.
Without hesitation, the monster begins
to devour the remains. Further ahead,
Chenule observes several of them feeding
among scattered bones. The status window
reveals they are level 47 necroofage
demons, abandoned spirits with a
terrifying bite. rarely appearing alone.
Recognizing the danger, the young man
prepares for battle. Aware he's facing
real demons. In moments, he finds
himself surrounded by dozens of
creatures within a vast skeleton-filled
cavern. Ratchetler bows before Master
Finel's throne. He reports that three
worms infiltrated but were separated
into distinct traps. The master listens
in silence as the orc concludes that by
now they must have been torn to shreds
by the necrofage demons. Back in the
cave, a demon lunges at Chenule. He
quickly assesses the situation. These
ghoul demons hit weak but swarm in huge
numbers, offering a decent chunk of
experience. With a flurry of rapid
strikes, he takes down 10 demons,
earning 20,000 experience points. But he
soon realizes that picking them off one
by one is incredibly inefficient. Still,
he keeps fighting, knowing he needs to
act fast to hit his goal. Eliminate 30
demons [music] for 60,000 experience
within the time limit. Then with a
single devastating blow, he wipes out a
100 demons, netting 200,000 experience
points. A notification pops up
congratulating him on eliminating 99
ghoul demons and reaching level 14. It
also informs him that upon reaching
level 50, he'll unlock three skills. The
first available skill is Holy Light
Condemnation, which can restore health
and deal area of effect holy damage. The
second option is Divine Destruction, an
instant attack against multiple enemies
that also recovers some health. The
third is divine action which boosts
movement speed and restores health with
every enemy defeated though it has a
cool down. Chenji Lelay wonders if he
can pick two professional skills but the
decision feels incredibly tough.
Analyzing the options he notes that
divine action combined with holy light
condemnation is interesting. While
divine destruction alongside divine
action offers a double recovery effect.
He concludes that melee attacks with
healing effects could boost his speed
and help him close in on enemies more
efficiently. However, he realizes Holy
Light's short range isn't ideal for
restoring his vitality unless he's close
enough to his targets. Faced with this,
he decides to go with divine action and
divine destruction. A notification warns
him that by making this choice, he'll
have to completely abandon holy light
condemnation. For a moment, he questions
if his companions face the same dilemma,
but quickly concludes they're safe since
the magic circle in his hand hasn't
issued any warnings. More demons begin
to emerge from the cave walls. Knowing
he can't stop now, he charges into the
horde of creatures. Meanwhile, Braz's
foot ignites with flames as he activates
an attack known as Hellfire Rift. With a
stomp on the ground, a fiery eruption
bursts forth beneath his enemies. The
demons are instantly consumed by the
inferno. Shortly after, a sound echoes
through the area, making Bros wonder if
someone is singing. The surrounding
creatures seem paralyzed by the melody.
He then spots a path littered with
fallen monsters, leading to a distant
silhouette. A blindfolded woman emerges
amidst the musical notes. Bros accuses
her of controlling the ghoul demons to
attack him and threatens, "I'll burn you
to ashes." She merely stares back with a
serene smile. Shadowy hands erupt from
the ground and sees him. In that
instant, Bros realizes it's hair song
that's keeping him from moving. The
woman slowly approaches as he demands,
"What are you doing?" [music] She leans
over him and purr. "It's been a long
time since I last tasted fresh meat."
Her claw tears into his side. As she
grips his face, Bros wonders if he's
about to die such a humiliating death.
Something streaks between them at high
speed. The woman is struck, sent flying.
Free from the shadowy grip, Braz regains
his movement. Chenjulu appears before
him, asking, "Did I make it in time?"
Surprised, the woman demands, "How did
the ghouls fail to kill you?" He throws
the question back, pointing behind him.
"Were you talking about him?" On the
ground, a demon's head slowly rolls. The
woman steps on the defeated creature,
stating, "That was the best of my
ghouls, yet you killed it with ease."
She stands over the monster's corpse.
Then she begins to sing, unleashing
sonic waves that ripple outwards. Bros
shouts a warning to Chenule, "Don't
listen to her." But the young man is
engulfed by the waves, paralyzed by the
necromancer's song. Confident, the woman
declares, "This time, neither of you can
move." Chenille activates divine action,
shattering the spell. With a sneer, he
comments, "Your singing is terrible."
Bros watches, impressed by the young
man's power when a different sound
catches his attention. Both start to
hear a persistent buzzing. Chenji Lay's
palm begins to glow, and he realizes the
woman is in danger. A malevolent
creature, the infernal python lust,
unleashes an immense blast of fire.
Feloka recognizes the power gap is too
vast. Defeating it would be impossible.
Faced with this, he knows he can't
withstand the imminent attack. The blast
strikes him headon, slamming him
violently against the rock wall. He
collapses to the ground, utterly drained
of strength to fight on. The python
lunges for the final blow. The young
man's reflection glinting in its eyes.
In that instant, a mysterious figure
suddenly lands before Feloka, shielding
him. Chengle stands before him, his
weapon ready for battle. The creature
recoils, facing its new adversary. With
a single swift movement, the young man
charges, striking the serpent and
instantly defeating the infernal python.
After the victory, Chenille turns to his
companion, sprawled on the ground. He
apologizes to Foka, explaining, "We
arrived a little late." Gasping, Feloka
admits Chenile's undeniable strength.
Bros helps him up, explaining that the
paths he and Chenile had taken were
traps, and this was the true entrance to
the Beastman's nest. The hooded woman
simply calls out her companion's name.
Bros asks Feloka if he's okay. And the
young man replies affirmatively,
assuring him, "I won't die." Still
aruck, Feloka comments, "that giant
serpent was too powerful, like a monster
from legends." Braz muses aloud,
"Wouldn't [music] the beast king
annihilate us in seconds if we faced
him?" Chenilele corrects him, stating,
"The true enemy isn't the beast king,
but fear itself." He continues, arguing
that fear on the battlefield only leads
to death, questioning, "How can we face
even stronger creatures in the future?"
Then then he reminds them of their
companions. Firmly he declares, "I will
fight to the very end for freedom, even
if only a breath of life remains."
Suddenly, the defeated serpent began to
stir. It rose again, even larger and
more menacing than before. Chenjule
surged forward, shouting for them to
fight together. The trio braced
themselves, ready to charge into battle.
Bros leaped towards the creature,
telling Chenille to let him go first. He
loudly taunted the giant worm, demanding
its attention. With a flurry of kicks,
he assaulted the serpent's body. The
creature retaliated, preparing its
counterattack and unleashing a powerful
blow from its mouth. Meanwhile, Chenzi
lay focused, readying his elemental
powers. Feloka decided he wouldn't be a
burden any longer. Resolving to give his
all this time, he extended his hand and
unleashed Kitigarba's palm. The attack
surged towards the serpent, immobilizing
it by the neck. Bros roared Chenulo's
name while his companion watched the
scene with absolute focus. Then Chenula
leaped into the air, raising his sword
high. He descended, [music]
delivering a devastating blow to the
monster's head. A notification flashed,
revealing the infernal python's flame
armor had taken 20% damage. Chenile
adjusted his grip on the sword,
preparing for another assault. With a
swift spin, he began to strike the
creature repeatedly. The armor's damage
climbed to 30, then 50%. The relentless
barrage of attacks pushed the wear to
80%. Finally, the armor shattered
completely. With the opening exposed,
Chenilo prepared to deliver the final
blow to the creature's head. With a
powerful spinning motion, he executed
the decisive strike. The blade tore
through the serpent's body. After
completing the strike, he landed on the
ground. Bros cheered, declaring the
creature finally dead. A notification
announced the infernal fire python had
been defeated, granting 200,000
experience points. Another window popped
open, revealing the acquisition of the
secret item, Infernal Fire Gloves.
Chenula meticulously examined the
attributes of his new gear. The system
prompted him, asking if he wished to
equip the item. Without hesitation,
Chenula equipped the infernal fire
gloves. Braz remarked that despite being
separated for only a few hours, Chen
seemed to have undergone a massive
transformation. With a simple command,
the gloves appearance vanished from his
hands. Suddenly, the entire cave began
to shake. From the shadows of the
passage, Rashidler emerged. Chenjule and
Braz took defensive stances [music]
against the new enemy. The orc charged,
attacking both of them simultaneously.
Chenulo was sent flying by the force of
the blow. Braz stood over the defeated
orc, demanding to know why he
surrendered. Richard explained he'd
gotten lost, and the beast king must
have activated the traps. Hearing about
the traps, Cheng Le remarked, "It was no
wonder they had encountered so many
monsters along the way." The orc then
got up, claiming they were lucky to
still be alive. In response, Bros kicked
him, demanding to be led to the beast
king. Richard agreed to show them the
entrance. Bros then threatened him,
warning that any tricks would be
severely punished. Ratchidler mumbled a
few words under his breath. Before them,
a massive stone door slowly began to
open. The group faced the imposing
entrance leading to the main hall. On a
stormy night, lightning tore across the
sky, illuminating it for a brief
instant. From his window, Ubra watched
the relentless rain fall. Nearby, Boban
approached a cabinet that had remained
sealed for a long time. Opening it, he
revealed a full suit of armor stored
inside. Ubé remarked that after so much
hesitation, Ban had finally found the
courage to do it. Bob replied that both
he and Sal had always been curious about
that battle armor. The old man suggested
that what was sealed within wasn't just
metal, but the very desire to leave that
place. Bobin then revealed he'd heard
talk of forming a team to find the
monster that killed his parents. Firmly,
he declared his desire to join the group
and asked if this time he wouldn't be
stopped. Back in the cave, the group
advanced down the corridor. Bros warned
Rashidler not to try any tricks, and
Chenile reinforced the threat, making it
clear he'd kill him if there was any
betrayal. The orc in turn assured them
the beastman's nest hall was just ahead.
Next, Chenila questioned him about the
whereabouts of the captured people.
Ratchidler replied he knew this place
very well. Hearing this, Chendula
instructed Braz to take Feloka and
follow the orc to rescue their
companions. Braz, however, questioned if
that wouldn't slow them down and warned
him not to think he was invincible just
because he'd saved them before. The
protagonist [music] refused the idea of
splitting up. At that moment, the system
issued two warning alerts. A quest
appeared, detecting an unknown boss and
stating a survival chance of only 10%.
The protagonist pondered [music] the
absurdly low rate even after all his
efforts to level up. Veloa noticed the
change in his expression and asked what
was happening. Chen Drew Lo downplayed
the situation, saying it was nothing and
instructed them to warn their companions
while he faced the beast king alone.
Bros immediately refused the order,
stating he would never abandon a comrade
in such a dangerous situation. Chenjali
then warned him that the monster ahead
was far stronger than they imagined and
the chance of victory was minimal. Bros
retorted, saying they'd all be dead if
it weren't for him, and he wouldn't run
regardless of the odds. Bros remembered
how he'd always handled everything alone
and how it made him feel isolated. Now,
however, he realized he wasn't alone
anymore. Rashidler pointed ahead,
indicating the great hall was just
beyond, but pleaded [music] to stay
behind, fearing the beast king would
kill him. Ignoring the orc's plea, the
trio prepared to enter. Bros commented
to Chenilo, "If you want to die, that's
your problem, but I'm not planning on
it." Together, [music] they crossed the
threshold and entered the vast imposing
hall. The place was utterly empty,
wrapped in an unsettling silence. At the
far end, a solitary throne stood out in
the vast hall. The lack of guards caught
Chenilo<unk>'s attention. He turned to
Rachidler, asking where the beast king
was, trying to grasp what was truly
happening. Suddenly, the stone doors
behind them began to close. Chenille and
bras spun around, noticing the sudden
movement. The passage sealed shut,
sending Richidler into a panic as he
realized it was a trap. In that instant,
Feloka was hoisted into the air by an
invisible force and Braz yelled his
name. Spinning around, Chenji Lelay saw
his comrade under attack. On the throne,
Beast King Fineir, level 85, finally
revealed himself. Then, [music] Feloka
was struck by a devastating blow.
Without hesitation, Chenille charged the
enemy. With a leap, he attacked the
Beast King with his sword. [music] The
blow, however, was blocked by an
invisible barrier. Determined to break
through, he pressed his blade against
the magical shield. The barrier reacted,
repelling the attack completely. The
impact hurled him back, but he landed
safely. Meanwhile, Feloka collapsed
unconscious from the blow. Bros rushed
to him, catching him before he hit the
ground. Desperate, he asked if his
comrade was okay, but received no
answer. Witnessing the scene, Cheng
Lelay wondered how long the beast king
had been sitting on that throne. The
enemy then smirked, revealing he had
nullified the attack with absolute ease.
Despite Braz's plea not to overexert
himself, Feloka, wielding a massive
stone weapon, yelled, "It's fine. We
have to keep fighting." The young man
charged first with BRZ right behind him,
racing towards the enemy. From his
throne, the Beast King calmly watched
their [music] assault, protected by his
defense. Brass's attack was stopped by
the barrier, the impact flinging him
high into the air. Next, Feloka charged,
striking the barrier with all his might,
but the Beast King remained utterly
still. Chenille was also repelled by the
enemy's defense. Yet, without
retreating, he charged back into the
fight and with a devastating blow struck
the Beast King's throne directly. The
impact shattered the throne and broke
the barrier in a single move, surprising
even Chenle with the unexpected result
of his attack. With a cruel smile, the
beast king glared at his opponents.
Raising his hands, he began to prepare a
new attack. While Chen and Brs took
defensive stances, [music] bracing for
impact, an energy sphere blasted towards
them. The explosion hit Bros headon,
sent Feloka crashing to the ground
wounded and dragged Chenille backward
despite his partial defense. In the
distance, Rashidler cheered, exalting
his master's power. Witnessing the
scene, Chenila recognized the enemy's
offensive might. Bros managed to get up
and seeing his comrade fallen behind him
asked, "Feloka, are you okay?" The young
man confirmed. Despite his injuries,
Chenila then wondered what the
adversar's true ability could be. The
beast king began to laugh, his cackle
echoing across the battlefield, mocking
his struggling opponents. With a sneer,
he called them ridiculous insects and
declared he would play around a bit with
them. Shrouded in mist, the beast king
rose and in the next instant vanished
completely. Chenji Lei was startled by
his disappearance, recognizing the
ability and immediately yelled for Bros
to be careful. In a flash, the beast
king appeared behind Bros., the young
man spun around to face the threat, but
a swift blow struck his chest. Still,
BRZ tried to retaliate with a punch, but
the attack was intercepted with extreme
ease. With a precise kick, the beast
king blocked any further reaction,
leaving Bros unable to move, then
stomped down on him with full force.
Feloka screamed his companion's name in
despair. The Beast King realized Chenilo
had pulled Bros away just before the
final stomp, then ordered Feloka to take
care of him. Bros apologized to Chenilo
for being a burden, but Chenila,
dismissing it, told him to leave the
rest to him. Consumed by rage, Chenilo
declared, "I'm going to kill that
bastard." The Beast King commented,
"This is just an appetizer." Shenzhul
wondered if the enemy would use the same
move again. Immediately after, the Beast
King lunged forward with an incredibly
powerful punch. The impact slammed
directly into Chenzulo<unk>'s defense,
who managed to block the attack using
his gauntlet. Firmly, Chenilu stated
that while he might be helpless against
certain abilities, he was not inferior
in agility or strength. A massive
explosion erupted at the point of
impact. Watching the scene, Feloka
commented, "Chengile actually withstood
that monster's attack." [music] Bros,
for his part, admitted, "Even if I
trained for another 10 years, I might
never be able to face him." Surprised,
the beast king observed that a mere worm
had managed to withstand his blow and
found the situation interesting. He then
declared that a worm's resistance only
fueled his excitement. With a deafening
roar, he unleashed a devastating attack,
aiming to send his opponent straight to
hell. Even under the energy blast,
Chenili stood firm, declaring, "You can
save your surprise for when your head
gets cut off." And vowing to return
everything that had been done to his
friends. At that moment, the divine
blessing skill activates. Chendula
immediately charges forward, his sword
flashing. Moving at blinding speed, he
closes in on the enemy and with a
furious roar strikes a blow in Foca's
name. The attack lands directly on the
Beast King's head. Then he strikes
again, this time for bras before leaping
into the air, preparing his sacred cut.
The force of the blow sends the beast
king's crown flying. Without his crown,
the enemy stares at Chen Gilelay,
revealing his true face. He watches
intently, bracing for the next move.
With a lightning strike, he attacks his
opponent headon. The attack hits dead
center, causing a small explosion and
shattering the ground around them. In
that instant, Chenilo dedicates the blow
to all the innocent people. His
companions watch the scene unfold while
Rachidler gasps in awe at such immense
power. Suddenly, another explosion
erupts where the enemy stood, and the
beast king emerges from the rubble,
completely unharmed, sporting a
terrifying new look. Rashidler
recognizes his master's elemental power
and declares, "We're all doomed."
Chenile, however, wonders if this is
truly his adversar's elemental power.
Then, the enemy fully reveals himself in
his new, far more powerful form. The
beast king extends his hand, uttering a
silent command. In response, a creature
charges forward at incredible speed and
in the next instant multiplies, forming
a pack of wolves. The sovereign of
beasts then summons a massive staff made
of bones. Chenule tries to
counterattack, but he's hit dead on,
left completely immobilized by the
overwhelming force, giving him no time
to react. The beast king prepares
another attack, this time summoning a
colossal shadowy creature. Immobilized,
Chenile admits he can no longer move his
body, having used all his skills,
wondering if this is truly the end. At
that moment, a masked creature appears
before him and attacks at lightning
speed. The blow sends Chenille flying
backward. Continuing the assault, the
enemy unleashes brutal blows, leaving
him utterly exhausted. The young man
collapses to the ground, his opponent
looming over him. Then the creature
manifests two gleaming sithes [music]
and with utter contempt declares, "A
useless insect deserves to be trampled
to death. Accept [music] your fate."
Lying defeated, Chenji wonders if this
is truly the end. Memories flood back,
voices calling him an insect. Despising
him, he pushes against the ground,
struggling to rise. In that instant, he
remembers a woman calling his name,
pleading for the little boy to come
home. Back in the present, a new
strength awakens within him. The loca
and brows watch, stunned as Chenille
transforms. An unprecedented energy
engulfs his body. He rises completely,
utterly transformed, gripping his sword
with unwavering resolve. A voice calls
out to Chenille, urging him to awaken.
He finds himself floating in an empty,
silent void. Confused, he wonders what's
happening. His last memory being the
fight against the Beast King. As he
surveys the unfamiliar surroundings, he
starts to question if he's already dead.
The answer comes immediately. He isn't
dead. Before Chen Gilele, a mysterious
man appears, also floating in the void,
and calls him by name. Surprised,
[music] the young man asks, "How do you
know my name? Who are you?" The man
replies that he too wishes he knew who
he truly was. He explains he was already
in this place when he awoke and has lost
all sense of time since then. Still, he
remembers a voice that echoed in his
mind, saying that in the future, someone
would take him away from here. According
to him, all signs point to that person
being Chenji Lelay. Demanding more
clarity, the young man asks, "What do I
need to do to get out of here?" The man
extends his hand and asks him to accept
him. Then he kneels, pleading for
Chenule to become his master. The young
man listens intently as the stranger
explains that the voice in his mind said
that as long as he supported this
person, both of them could leave this
place immediately. Once more, he asks
Chenile to accept him as his master.
Without hesitation, the young man
agrees, urging him to hurry and get him
out. The man smiles and they shake
hands. The moment they agreed, an
intense energy surged between them. Back
in the battle arena, Chenulele faces his
opponent. He remarks that the guy didn't
lie. He really did return. Immediately
after, he feels a new power surging from
his body and wonders if it's a result of
that man's support. A notification
appears. You have obtained chaotic
elemental power. Understanding the
message, he realizes this is his new
element. The masked creature observes
the scene, questioning how he appears
unharmed, realizing with discomfort that
the young man seems even stronger than
before. Another notification appears.
Your abilities have been reinforced. You
have acquired the elemental ability
extinguish. The extinguish ability
consumes 90% of your HP to activate a
special mode, draining 100 HP per
minute. The newly acquired elemental
power also reveals the attributes of the
equipped weapon, Ozul. At this moment,
Chenille realizes that his grandfather
UB's sword always needed elemental power
to be activated, as it had never
displayed attributes before. Gripping
the sword firmly, he declares, "Now that
I've activated it, I can finally begin
my counterattack." Advancing towards the
enemy, he radiates absolute confidence.
The masked creature reacts, questioning,
"How dare a mere insect challenge me? Do
you truly believe you're on my level?"
Without a word, Chenulay attacks at high
speed. Forced to [music] retreat, the
creature prepares to launch a new
attack. Refusing to accept the
possibility of defeat, it decides to use
all its strength to shatter [music] him.
Chengile activates elemental flash and
unleashes a devastating sequence of
blows. The masked being is struck
repeatedly, reacting with impossible. At
that very moment, the extinguish ability
takes effect, tearing deep wounds across
its back. A notification appears. 90% of
your HP has been consumed. Then the body
of Beast King Fineir begins to
disintegrate in the air. In mere
moments, the opponent is utterly
annihilated by the attack. A message
appears congratulating Chenila for
defeating Beast King Fineir and granting
him experience along with a level up.
Finally, another notification confirms
the quest completion, rewarding him with
additional experience and a black
treasure chest, a peaceful village
nestled among the mountains. Uber scolds
Bob for slacking off, but the young man
defends himself, claiming he's just a
bit rusty. Sitting by a tree, Saly asks
her grandfather if Chenille will be back
soon. Ubra gazes up at the sky,
remarking [music] that three days have
already passed. Suddenly, the ground
begins to tremble, and a wave of energy
erupts on the horizon. Urab shields
himself from the impact, wondering what
it could be. Boan rushes over, asking
the old man what's happening. Saly
sprints to them, distressed, [music]
asking if her grandfather was all right
and what had happened. Ubé explains that
such energy waves appear when highlevel
monsters are annihilated and this one
originated from the beastmen's nest.
With that, he concludes that Chenule has
awakened his elemental power and slain
the beast king. Meanwhile, a pillar of
energy bursts forth from inside a cave,
intensely illuminating the entire area.
Rididler states in disbelief that his
lord was truly murdered by Chenile.
Feloka remarks that it would be hard to
believe someone so powerful existed if
he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.
Bros, for his part, speaks of the
terrifying combat power that just
erupted. Wondering if Chenille had been
hiding his true strength all along.
Chenile himself can barely believe he
defeated such a formidable enemy, but he
asserts that the man who granted him
power is the truly terrifying being.
Feloka approaches and asks why he's
moving away, reminding him that the
battle is already won. Chenula replies
that he's fine and will rescue their
companions, asking them to wait since
they are injured. Suddenly, a small
creature leaps onto his face, calling
[music] him daddy. Surprised, the young
man questions the reason for that name.
He then orders Rackadler to lead them to
the other prisoners, and the orc readily
agrees. As he walks, Chenila reflects
that despite the victory, he still
carries many questions about the old man
and how all of this happened. He begins
to suspect someone is orchestrating all
these events, and the doubt grows,
leading him to question the true reason
behind it all. Suddenly, his body began
to unravel. Uber held him in his arms,
the old man watching silently as the
young man called out to him. Chenille
then declared, "I've completed the
mission." Suddenly, Chenile jolted awake
in his bed, a voice urging him to get
up. His mother walked in, asking if he
planned to sleep all day since it was
already noon. Confused, he called out to
her, wondering if he had truly made it
back. She mentioned she'd already
finished making his favorite dishes.
Watching her tidy the room, he called
her name again. Then, unable to hold
back his emotions, he hugged her
tightly, shouting, "I'm home." A voice
questioned what he was doing. Boan held
him, surprised by the embrace. Now
sitting on the bed, Chenule asked what
he was doing there. While Boan stared at
him, confused, questioning the sudden
hug, Boban explained he'd promised the
old man he'd look after him, but made it
clear he still wanted a fight when the
time came. He told Chenile to stay put
and left to inform Ure and Saly. Alone
in the room, he stared at his own hand,
concluding it had all been a dream. Yet,
he vividly remembered seeing Grandpa Ubé
at the very end. Clutching his head, he
began to wonder about Bros and Feloka's
whereabouts. A notification popped up
informing him of a locked safe in his
backpack along with unassigned level
points, recommending they be used as
soon as possible. He remembered
receiving a key after defeating Boan and
decided to use it to open the safe. A
system message confirmed the keys
successful use and the activation of the
mysterious [music] safe. Various items
were obtained, including boots, chest
plates, gloves, and rings. Among them,
the legendary Finire's ring of
protection stood out, boosting all
attributes and granting a special
ability. Immediately after, another
notification appeared, congratulating
him on obtaining a hidden legendary
item. Curious, the young man examined
his new acquisition. The legendary item
turned out to be an egg, making him
wonder if it was edible. But then, the
egg began to crack, making him suspect
it was some kind of pet. From within the
shell, a tiny baby-like creature
emerged. Stunned, he questioned if the
legendary item was actually a child. The
newborn creature looked up at him and
called out, "Daddy," Chenji Lelay
immediately asked the system to search
for information about the child and
check for any special abilities. Then
[music] he questioned why the vault's
reward was a small child, watching her
roll around on the bed. The system
replied that it couldn't identify the
creature, stating that she had been
bonded with the young man and he was to
take good care of her. Yuruka climbed
onto Chenille's head, and he ordered her
down, insisting he wasn't her father.
Holding the child upside down, he
repeated that he wasn't her dad and had
no interest in taking her on adventures.
Faced with the situation, Chenulo
decided he'd have to ask Saly and
Grandpa Ubé who could possibly look
after the child. The little one's
expression changed. She realized what
was about to happen. Instantly, Yuruka
burst into earsplitting sobs. [music]
Startled, Chenulo scooped her up,
desperately pleading for his dear
ancestor to stop crying, wondering if
he'd hurt her. But Yuruka only cried
harder, her whales growing even more
intense. A notification flashed. A
30inut punishment has been activated for
your desire to abandon a living being.
As the countdown began, the young man
wondered about the nature of this
punishment. When the timer hit zero, the
punishment was activated. Instinctively,
he shielded his face, questioning the
punishment since nothing had been
explained. Looking around, he wondered
where he was. Surrounded by a vast icy
landscape, he questioned where he'd been
sent. Trying to calm the crying little
one, Chenilo explained he didn't know
how to care for her as he was just a
student. Two enormous creatures
materialized ahead, revealing themselves
as elite ice predators. Surprised, he
wondered about the sudden appearance of
these elite monsters. Another
notification informed him that the
punishment had begun. He had to
annihilate all monsters within 30
minutes, protecting the living being.
Confused, he asked what it meant to be
obliterated. One of the monsters
prepared to strike. Without a second
thought, the young man threw himself to
the ground, shielding the girl with his
own body. The impact dragged him
violently across the ice. Wounded, he
still rose, holding Yuruka firmly.
Urgently, he told her not to die and to
cling to his neck. Activating his
elemental power, he brandished [music]
his sword. With the girl perched on his
shoulder, Chenille took a combat stance
and declared they would fight together.
Back in [music] the village, Boon
remarked to Ubé that Sali had gone to
town and wondered why Chenzila hadn't
returned yet. He then asked about the
team's progress regarding the temple,
but Ubé replied that the situation was
worse than he'd imagined. The old man
explained that everyone was terrified by
Hicks's lies, believing the journey
would provoke the gods wrath. Bob
suggested that if they couldn't recruit
anyone, they should just go ahead
themselves and abandon the place. Ura,
however, stated he wouldn't risk it, as
the monsters beyond the village were too
strong. Finally, UB decided the best
course of action was to find Chenila
first so he could report everything that
had happened. Sali ran towards them
asking her grandfather Ubé what he was
talking about. UB explained that Boon
had just informed him Chenile was awake
and she commented that the young man
seemed [music] fine. Eagerly, she said
she was in a hurry to see him and wanted
to find out what kind of elemental power
he had awakened. Without wasting a
moment, Saly dashed off, urging her
grandfather to follow her. The defeated
ice predators bodies lay scattered
across the ground. On the frozen field,
Cheni Lelay dodged the attack of the
last remaining creature. With precision,
he parried the tail strike with his
sword. His final attack shattered the
monster and a notification appeared,
congratulating him on mission
completion. Gasping after the intense
battle, he struggled to catch his
breath. [music] The little creature on
his shoulder cheered excitedly for the
victory. At this, Chenula lamented that
if he truly was her father, he was
completely lost. Suddenly, the scene
shifts and he's back in the village. A
wave of relief washes over him.
"Finally, I'm back," he mutters to
himself. At the entrance, Saly spots him
and calls out his name. Her gaze
immediately drops to the child perched
on his shoulder. Confusion clouds her
face. "Where did that boy come from?"
she wonders. Saly scoops up the tiny
creature, gushing over its cuteness. As
the little one touches her face, Salie
turns to Chenille. "Where did this child
come from? I just adore kids," she
exclaims. Chenila replies that the child
hatched from an egg, leaving Salie
utterly bewildered. "Are you serious?"
she asks, [music] disbelief etched on
her face. Silently, Chenila thinks,
"Kids can hatch from eggs now, and I
can't just send her away or I'll be
punished." Moments later, UB and Boon
approach, asking Saly about the
commotion they heard from afar. She
proudly shows the tiny creature to
[music] them, explaining that Chenili
brought her from somewhere. "Isn't she
just adorable?" she asks. The two men
stare at the child, utterly stunned.
actually a baby? They question. Bobin
turns to Chenile demanding, "Why didn't
you have a kid before? What kind of game
are you playing?" Chenile tries to
explain. [music] She was under the bed,
but quickly decides it's better not to
tell the truth. UB cuts them off,
demanding silence. He reminds them that
Chenile just woke up, then urges them to
prepare food and talk during the meal.
Saly leans down to the little creature.
"Be a good girl, okay? Your big sister
is going to make some delicious food."
Bobin asks Chenille if he's decided to
be her friend, but the young man replies
he's never even considered it. Yuruka
points at him and starts babbling.
Chenille kneels down and asks if she's
hungry, assuring her the food is already
being prepared and will be ready soon.
Uber turns to Chenulo and apologizes.
Surprised, the young man [music] asks
what he's talking about and why the
sudden apology. Ubri explains he was
careless, believing it was just a common
beast's nest and almost put Chenila in
grave danger. Chenulo replies, "It's not
his fault." Accepting the mission was
his own choice. He adds that without
this mission, he never would have
discovered his arrival, there might not
have been an accident. During the battle
against the beast king, [music] Chenile
was transported to an alternate
dimension where a strange man awaited
him. He recounts accepting that man's
request without hesitation. Ura comments
that when the young man left, he had
already awakened the chaotic elemental
power as if everything had been
pre-planned. Hearing this, Chenilo asks
if Ura knows anything about it and if
everyone who receives this power [music]
ends up being taken to a strange
dimension. Uber denies it, stating that
awakening an elemental power shouldn't
lead to another dimension or an
encounter with an unknown person. He
adds that he only read about the chaotic
elemental power in an ancient book
thousands of years old. Chenule then
asks what the book said, guessing that
the reason for his arrival might be
recorded there. Uri recounts a legend.
Thousands of years ago, the evil god
Morpheo descended upon the mortal realm.
With overwhelming power, he clashed with
human armies, and not even the greatest
heroes could withstand his onslaught. As
humanity plunged into despair, a savior
emerged. Hi, wielding a chaotic power
never before seen. Hi gathered an army
and waged war against the evil god, a
battle that raged for decades. In the
end, he slew Morpheo and sealed [music]
his soul in the tarderus of hell
forever. However, in exchange for that
victory, Hiodo also had to remain in
that place eternally. Hearing the
legend, Chenile wonders if the person he
found could be Hessiedo. UB stares at
him in silence. Then, [music] UB
confirms it's highly probable the man
the young hero knows is in fact Heiodo.
Just then, Sali interrupts, announcing
the food is ready. UB replies that
everyone is coming. Before standing, he
advises Chenille not to tell anyone else
about their conversation. A vast array
of dishes covers the table. With the
tiny creature nestled on his head, Cheni
Lelay praises Saly, telling her she's
incredible. She replies that she only
helped, stating the person he truly owes
thanks to is the man in the kitchen. The
cook smiles and thanks Miss Lisa for the
compliment. During the meal, Chenila
asks why Rashidler followed him here.
The orc replies that Grandpa Ubé himself
brought him. He then urges Chenila to
eat and try his food. UB explains he
brought Ratchidler because he knows
Latoyana's terrain well. The tiny
creature climbs onto the orc's head, but
Ratchetler assures them he can handle
it. Chenzila then asks what happened to
his two companions from the cave battle.
Sali replies that UB sent them to the
city's treatment center, and the group
will visit them after the meal. As they
eat, Ubé asks Rashidler to fetch some
milk as the tiny creature can't eat this
food yet. From a distance, Hicks watches
the residents from a top a cliff. A
subordinate approaches, informing him
the outsider is with Ubé and his group.
Hearing this, Hicks decides it's time to
finish the job and return to inform his
lord. A dragon tears through the cloud
choked lightning streaked skies,
plummeting towards the ground. The
creature nears a massive floating
structure in the underworld. Just then,
as a hand reaches for a rose bush, the
dragon lands before it and shifts into
the form of a man. Long-haired, the
newcomer greets the figure before him,
calling him Argolas. Argolas questions
Lord Hades about the reason for such an
urgent summons. Hades explains that
Fenire's energy has vanished from
Latoyana and he suspects his death.
Argolas reacts instantly, declaring that
no mere scum could ever kill Fenire.
Hades then orders him to go to Latoana
to investigate as Fenire was the
guardian of an extremely important seal.
Without hesitation, Argolas agrees,
stating he will depart for Latoyana
immediately. On a city street, Sali
comments to Chenule how incredible
everything he accomplished during their
journey was. Bobin grumbles, claiming he
could have done the same if he'd been
there. Shendula retorts that if that
were the case, he'd probably be on his
way to collect Bobin's corpse, which
promptly leads the young man to
challenge him to another duel. Curious,
Saly asks what kind of elemental power
he awakened to defeat the beast king.
Chendel admits he isn't sure and asks
what elements priests usually align
with. She explains that priests normally
awaken the light element, but can also
manifest fire, water, or others. Hearing
this, he concludes he must have awakened
light. While Boon grumbles that it was
too obvious to even think about. In
silence, Chenila remembers UB's warning
not to reveal that he obtained chaotic
elemental power. Salah announces they've
arrived at the best treatment center in
Delulk City. The group approaches the
grand building. She urges him to enter
and he replies he's coming. Before
stepping inside, Chenile pauses at the
entrance and observes the building's
interior. Suddenly, he realizes he's
standing on a teleportation circle.
Confused, he looks around wondering
what's happening. The treatment center
doors slammed shut behind him. In the
corridor, Saly found his delay strange
and turned to call him. Looking again,
she realized he was no longer there.
Elsewhere, Chenlay scanned the room,
wondering why he'd been suddenly brought
there. [music] A question hung in the
air. What was happening this time, Hicks
appeared, explaining there was no need
for alarm, as he'd only used a simple
teleportation spell. He introduced
himself as the protector of Latoyana's
villagers, claiming this place was only
accessible to the most talented.
Chenjula shot back, stating he was just
a passerby with no interest in power
[music] and demanded to know why he'd
been brought there. Hicks revealed he
knew Chenila had killed the Beast King
and invited him to join them, promising
to fulfill any demand he wished. Chenila
refused the offer, stating he had no
interest in such things and only wanted
to leave. Hicks grumbled, saying he
already knew he was the same type as Ubé
and that this was all a waste of time.
Then he coldly revealed his people had
already left to kill Chenile<unk>'s
companions. As a final offer, Hicks gave
him one more chance, threatening to kill
him on the spot if he refused again.
Without backing down, Chenula countered
that he could also offer another
opportunity, declaring, "If I don't find
Sal and the others when I leave here,
all of you will die." Consumed by rage,
Hicks lunged from behind to attack
Chenule. Outside, two assassins raced at
high speed towards the treatment center.
In the corridor, Sali felt something was
wrong and wondered where Chenille had
gone. Boon sniffed the air, recognizing
a familiar scent. Alarmed, he yelled,
"Sally, watch out!" An energy blade
sliced through the air, hurtling towards
her. Immediately after, a shadowy energy
hand struck her side. Boon caught her
before she hit the ground. Without
wasting a moment, he projected a clone
to defend against another imminent
attack. He asked if Salille was okay and
she confirmed, "I'm fine. Thanks for the
help." Consumed by fury, Bobin declared,
"I'll kill anyone who dares harm her."
At the end of the corridor, a hooded man
slowly emerged. Around him, multiple
swords floated in the air. Elsewhere,
blows rain down on Chenille. He dodged
the attacks as the small creature
tumbled from his head. Rolling across
the floor, Chenille snatched her before
she hit the ground. As he rose, he
realized fighting effectively while
holding a child was impossible. The
little creature waved her arms, babbling
happily in his lap. He stared at her,
wondering how she could stay so cheerful
in such a moment. Hicks remarked that he
was a bit stronger than expected, but
warned it was just an appetizer.
Chenjule questioned his hatred, asking
why he wanted them dead, suggesting they
could unite against the monsters
outside. Hicks just laughed, mocking the
idea of fighting those creatures. He
claimed Old Uber hadn't told the whole
truth. According to Hicks, a deal was
struck with the monsters, city dwellers,
as food in exchange for non-inference in
the hunt. The revelation hit Chenille.
Ubé had agreed to sacrifice the weakest
to maintain peace within the city. He
realized there was never an intention to
abandon Latoyana. It was all [music]
just an excuse to send people to their
deaths. Hicks called him smart, inviting
him to join what he called the perfect
plan. He added that the monsters were
sent by God, accusing Ubé of hypocrisy
for trying to defy them. Chenji Le
refused again, stating he didn't care
about their plan. All he wanted was to
go home. Coldly, [music] he declared
he'd destroy anything in his way.
Humans, monsters, even gods. Hicks
[music] retorted, "You talk too much."
Without hesitation, Chenula set the
little creature down, telling her to
wait there. Turning, he faced his
opponent directly. Hicks promised, "I'll
kill you both and bury you together."
The next instant, Chenula appeared
before him, unleashing a brutal punch.
The blow caught Hicks completely off
guard as the young man stared him down
with fierce determination. Giving no
room for reaction, Chenila clenched his
fists, ready to strike again. [music] He
then unleashed a flurry of punches
directly into Hicks's chest. The final
blow sent him violently flying across
the room. Propped on the floor, Hicks
stared at him, demanding, "How did you
do that?" Still down, he asked, "Who
exactly are you, Chenule?" In the
street, people ran in a panic, screaming
that a fight had broken out. An
explosion erupted amidst the crowd.
Salowy leaped into the air, launching a
direct attack at one of the hooded men.
At the same time, Boban faced multiple
opponents simultaneously. He prepared to
unleash his shadow strike. His swords
clashed with enemy blades in rapid
metallic bursts. [music] Amidst the
clash, Boan yelled, "Sally, now."
Answering the call, she charged the main
adversary. The young woman focused,
activating her flame dance. A powerful
circular attack spread through the area,
consuming everything around it. To her
shock, the blow missed its target. Boon
instantly realized something was wrong.
The hooded man appeared unharmed behind
her, making her wonder if it was just a
clone. The situation turned critical.
Boon understood the danger. The enemy
lunged to attack. [music] Before the
blow could land, Chenile leaped forward,
intercepting the attack. He warned, "No
one touches my friends. For a few
seconds, they stared at each other in
silence." Moments later, the hooded
man's clone dissolved before them.
Confused, Saly [music] asked, "What's
going on? Where have you been, Chenille?
He replied that the situation was
complicated and the most important thing
now was to return immediately. He then
explained that Grandpa Ubé was also in
danger. Meanwhile, Ubé was at home,
engrossed in a book on his table. His
mind raced, wondering if Chenilu had
truly awakened the chaotic elemental
power. The prophecy within the book
spoke of demons and gods descending upon
Earth, plunging the world into endless
darkness. It stated that only the one
wielding chaotic elemental power could
save [music] the world. Moments later,
the group burst back in, urgently
calling for Grandpa Ubé. Startled, he
turned, asking why they were back so
soon, and if they'd finished visiting
their injured friends. Hearing their
story, Ubé [music] was stunned, asking
if they had truly been attacked. Sali
then pressed him, asking if he knew who
was behind the assault. U explained that
the person Chenile encountered must be
Hicks, the wind mage, and the man Sali
and Boan faced was Luscious, the shadow
mage. He revealed that both were
guardians of the city. Boon reacted,
demanding, "Why would the city's own
guardians attack us?" Ubra began to
recount how Hicks, Lucius, Salkia, and
Dorop were the first heroes to arrive in
Latiana and founded the city. Back then,
the land was a brutal place where people
hid from monsters, and fought each other
for food and shelter. When all hope
seemed lost, Dorop emerged, gathered the
scattered people, and taught them
cultivation techniques. Ubé speculated
that the group's intention to leave
Latoyana must have been seen as a direct
threat to the vill's stability. [music]
At that moment, Cheng Lelay cut him off.
With a steely gaze, he demanded, "Why
did you never tell us that the vill's
peace was maintained at the cost of
human sacrifices?" Chenila stared him
down, asking if Ure had always known
about the agreement to sacrifice
innocent people for peace. Babon asked
Grandpa Ure, "Why didn't you tell us the
truth from the start?" Chenila
confronted him, questioning if he too
would use innocence as pawns to maintain
peace. Sali jumped to his defense,
asserting that UB wasn't that kind of
person and reminding them he was one of
the 12 heroes. Uber cut her off,
admitting that Chenile wasn't wrong and
making it clear he didn't agree with the
guardians actions. The revelation left
everyone in the room utterly stunned. UB
then challenged Chenile, asking him what
he'd choose, his loved ones or his sense
of justice. [music] He argued that
anyone would protect those they
cherished. Then his gaze fixed on the
young man. He pressed, "Isn't that
true?" He explained that Sali and Ban's
lives were used as leverage, forcing him
to choose between [music] justice and
their very survival. Ubra declared that
they were the most important people in
his life, leaving him no choice but to
yield to keep them alive. He swore that
if he were alone, he'd never have
accepted such a vile trade, for he was
no coward who feared death. The old man
then mused that if someone were strong
enough to protect both, such a cruel
choice would never be necessary. Chenula
cut in. "Did you agree precisely because
you couldn't defeat all four guardians
and protect Salie and Boon
simultaneously?" Boon bristled,
threatening the young man for
disrespecting UB. [music] But Chenila
merely retorted, "That's just the harsh
reality." Then turning to Boan, he
asked, "What would you do if you had to
choose between Salili and yourself?" UB
lowered his head, his silence heavy.
Sensing the rising tension, Chenzillay
apologized to the old man, explaining
that it was simply how he thought with
no intention to offend. UB replied that
he was the one who should apologize for
his hope of finally escaping that place
had reignited the moment he met Chenile.
Then Ubé turned to Salile and Boan,
declaring it was time to reveal the full
truth so they could forge their own
destinies. Sali immediately vowed, "No
matter where you go, I want to be by
your side." Bob, however, flat out
refused to accept the past agreements,
insisting he had to protect her. He then
told Ubé, "It's time to stop going along
with this." Chenille rallied the three,
urging them to fight together for the
city's people, for their freedom, and
for those they loved. The four united, a
formidable force ready to face the
looming battle. Uber explained that
escaping the city meant defeating all
four guardians, reminding them that
Hicks was the weakest of the bunch. He
warned them that the other three would
be far tougher to beat and they'd be out
for blood the moment Hicks recovered.
Finally, Uber announced that from that
moment on, they would all endure the
most brutal training imaginable. He
declared their only chance of survival
depended solely on their own strength.
In response, [music] the entire group
roared their approval. In a tranquil
field, Cheni lay rested on the grass,
his small companion, Yuruka, intently
watching a butterfly. Lying there, he
pondered how much time had [music]
passed since his arrival, making a
silent vow to see his mother again soon.
Yuruka bounced excitedly, trying to
snatch the butterfly, which promptly
fluttered away. Gently, he warned her
away from the cliff, asking her to give
him less trouble. As he watched, he
mused that despite gaining a massive
amount of experience from defeating
[music] the beast king, he'd only
leveled up 10 times and still had 50
attribute points to distribute. [music]
He assessed that his extinguish skill
devoured 90% of his HP, leaving him
critically vulnerable to a single fatal
blow. The Berserker's morning potion
flashed in his mind. It could instantly
restore his HP, but at the steep cost of
eight levels per vial. With this in
mind, he decided to prioritize strength
and agility, saving his mana for offense
and sacrificing defense for now. His
strategy was set. After activating
extinguish, his offense would be his
defense. Just then, a notification
screen popped up before him, signaling a
new message. He looked [music] closer.
The interface displayed hundreds of
messages, each marked with a shattered
heart symbol. He instantly recognized
the pattern, Xiaomé's ID. Chenille
stared, wondering if these were truly
messages from Xiaomé, and if
communication with the outside world was
even possible. In the messages, Xiaomé
urged him to go to the church, expressed
irritation at his silence, and even
threatened him. Finally, she reported
his disappearance from school,
mentioning a bald man who claimed he was
moving with his mother and desperately
pleaded for him to reply. The young man
reeled, "Had he been online this entire
time? Why would a stranger deliver such
bizarre news? The terrifying thought
that his physical body might be in a
coma gripped [music] him. He glanced at
Yuruka beside him, finding it illogical
to imagine his mother suddenly selling
their home and moving. Confused, [music]
Chenil clutches his head as the tiny
creature offers him a flower. Impatient,
he pushes it away, declaring, "I don't
have time for games right now." The
creature drops the flower, bursts into
tears, and wales, "Bad dada!" Faced with
the scene, the young man is at a loss
for how to react. A system notification
flashes, "Punishment activated for
harming a living being." As the tiny
creature sobbs uncontrollably, Chenille
wonders what sin he's committed. Without
another word, he stares at the situation
and announces, "Tleortation initiated."
In an instant, he's hurled to the peak
of a lava mountain. Suddenly, a colossal
creature of fire erupts before him. The
scene shifts. Chenille apologizes to the
tiny creature. Holding the small being
in his sword, he declares, "We're
leaving." Night falls over a grand
mansion, the moon illuminating the sky.
Inside, Bros questions Ubra's presence
and intentions. Recognizing him as one
of the 12 heroes, Bros asks if he's also
trapped in this place. UB replies that
the title is meaningless and the past
should no longer be spoken of. Impressed
to meet a living legend, Bros [music]
asks if the old man came looking for him
and UB confirms he needs his help.
Curious, Bros presses, "What could be so
important that you came yourself?" The
elder explains that if anyone asks about
Chenuli killing the beast king, both he
and Foka must remain absolutely silent.
Bros agrees not to utter a single word,
even without understanding why. Ubra
thanks him, bids farewell, and tells him
to rest well. Alone, Braz reflects that
if even Ubé is trapped, his own desire
to escape might have always been a
foolish dream. Before leaving, the elder
gives him a clue, advising him to seek
the temple deep within Latoyana. Then
Uber invites him to join the talent
recruitment in the south of the city,
and Bros accepts. Just then, Feloka
approaches. Bros comments, surprised, "I
didn't expect you to be up already,
Feloka." Foca in turn asks, "Why are you
still awake, bros? [music] Your wounds
are almost healed." Braz admitted that
while he'd be out in a few days, he
still couldn't shake off the chaos of
recent events. He then turned to Feloka,
asking if UB had also approached him
about Chenille and the temple. Feloka's
eyes widened. That was UB, one of the 12
heroes. Bros confirmed, explaining he
only recognized him because Ubé had
always been his idol. His room plastered
with portraits of the legendary figure.
Feloka stared in disbelief. The
legendary Ubé, the one who shattered the
swift [music] troll, was trapped here,
too. Bros insisted, "The 12 heroes
aren't just a fancy title. They're the
12 strongest people on the planet." He
went on to explain that every 5 years, a
massive battle unfolds where the 12 top
guilds each pick their most powerful
member to become the 12 heroes. Uber's
guild, though relatively new, had
crushed many of the old heroes. But
after the battle of O'Brien, the guild
shattered. Ubé was the sole survivor,
retiring immediately after his final
solitary hunt. Browse [music] admitted,
"This is all too much to take in. It's
insane." He finally concluded that the
abilities of someone like Chenille were
beyond anything they could even dream of
achieving. A distant memory flickered. A
younger, gravely wounded Ubé, screaming
a warning. A gigantic shadowy hand
lunged forward, aiming to snatch [music]
two figures. Sali's parents braced
themselves, ready to face the imminent
attack. But the blow struck true,
sending one of them hurtling away. The
man and woman crumpled, overwhelmed by
the devastating power. Desperate, UB
screamed their names, "Morse! Luna!"
Back in the present, he clutched a
[music] locket, a family photo nestled
inside, reaffirming his resolve to take
Saly far from Latoyana. He lamented his
own suffering, vowing that she wouldn't
endure the same pain she deserved to
live a full life. He then revealed he'd
placed an enchantment on her, a powerful
charm to shield her from any mortal
danger. Squeezing the locket tight, he
swore to himself. This time, he wouldn't
break his promise. On the mountain, a
notification blar, signaling the end of
his punishment. Chenille lies sprawled
on the grass, wondering why this
punishment felt far harsher than the
last. A system window pops up,
explaining that the monster's combat
power gradually increases during the
punishment. He's shocked to read that
this power also grows by 10% with each
new activation of the punishment. Faced
with this, he realizes the task will
only get tougher and tougher. The young
man concludes that the small creature
resembles an ancient ancestor needing to
be treated with extreme care. Still, he
mutters to himself that it doesn't
matter much since he can't understand a
[music] word it says. Suddenly, an idea
strikes him. Pointing at the system
screen, he asks the little creature if
it can see it. He muses that neither Ubé
nor Sal could see the system, but the
creature apparently can. So, he asks if
it knows anything about the messages he
receives from Xiaomé. The creature,
however, just shakes its head.
Frustrated, Chenile realizes he's trying
to talk to someone who can't understand
him. Just then, Chenilo turns as he
hears someone call his name. The entire
group is approaching and Saly shouts his
name from a distance. He notices
everyone gathered there in the field.
Spotting Bros and Foca among them, the
young man greets them. Bros explains
that since he didn't show up, they
decided to come looking for him. Chenula
apologizes for leaving in such a hurry
and Bros comments that he recovered
quickly thanks to Bob and Sali's care.
Annoyed by the comment, Chenila reacts,
but Bros immediately scolds him. Despite
that, he feels relieved to see that
everyone is all right. Filoka then
explains that they came to meet UB to
finally escape this place. Bros pats the
little creature's head and confirms the
group's objective to find UB. Surprised,
Chenila reacts, questioning how he could
possibly have a child. While the little
creature bristles in his arms at that
moment, the creature introduces itself
saying, "My name is Yuruka." Bob
interrupts the conversation, announcing
that UB is about to start the training.
Bros comments that it's been a while
since they last saw each other, but
Chenille assures him that everyone will
take the training seriously. UB lets out
a booming laugh. Intrigued, Chenille
asks the reason for the laughter. The
old man explains that he's happy because
the atmosphere hasn't been this lively
since he arrived in Latoyama. Saly
comments that it's the first time she's
seen her grandfather laugh like that. UB
tells everyone to relax for now, but
warns them not to cry during the
training later. Bros asks how terrifying
this training will be. The elder replies
that it's a challenge even the 12 heroes
wouldn't be able to overcome. The entire
group listens in silence, understanding
the gravity of what awaits them. Holding
an item, Ubé explains that to win, one
must find the opponent's weaknesses and
flaws. He states that in a real battle,
even a 0.01
second mistake can determine victory or
defeat. Suddenly, energy copies of all
group members appear before them. Bros
and Foca immediately turn to face their
own clones. Uber declares that a team
battle is above all a test of
cooperation and mutual understanding. He
then reveals the training artifact
creates copies with identical skills,
but with one and a half times their
combat power. To reassure them, Uber
explains the clones won't cause real
damage, though pain will be felt and
fatal blows will lead to elimination. He
further warns that on the path to the
temple, every lost member will make the
situation even more brutal. With that,
the group faces their opponents with
grim determination, understanding this
is the true beginning of their training.
The sun rises over the small mountain
village. In the kitchen, Rashidler asks
Ubé what he'd like to eat, explaining
he'd prepare a meal for three. He tells
Yuruka to step back a bit to avoid
getting hurt while he cooks. Uber,
however, corrects him, ordering him to
prepare food for 20 people. Surprised,
Richard asks if they're expecting
guests, but the elder replies, "Not
exactly." Just then, Chenzila enters the
house, followed by the entire group.
Uber remarks they were a bit slower than
he'd estimated. He then rushes Rashidler
to prepare the 20 portions, leaving
Rashidler stunned as he realizes the
training had ended in just half an hour.
Soon after, a grand feast is served for
everyone. During the meal, Boon holds
out his bowl, asking Rashidler for
another serving. Soon, the others join
in, also requesting more food. Uber
praises the group for defeating their
clones in just half an hour and asks if
they're satisfied with the training.
Suddenly, everyone stops eating at once,
and the elder questions what's wrong.
The group rises in unison, shouting they
are utterly dissatisfied. Sali explains
they were annihilated in less than 30
minutes. While the others agree the
clones were incredibly cunning,
especially Chenile's clone, who proved
terrifyingly powerful. Chenula realized
the battle felt like a PvP match with
opponents thinking like real humans. He
recalled how the clones hid at the
start, forcing his team to stick
together. They still fell into an
ambush. He could only watch as his own
clones systematically took down
everyone, leaving him alone against five
enemies. He concluded then that their
defeat was sealed even before the battle
truly began. Ubé nodded, agreeing with
the analysis. The winner was decided
from the very start, he stated. He
explained that in team battles, the
decisive factor is the integrated power
of the group, comparing it to a chess
game where some pieces must be
sacrificed. [music]
Ubra revealed that the clones don't
think for themselves. Instead, they
deduced the best collective strategy by
analyzing the group's abilities. He then
declared this was the most effective
strategy against inexperienced teams,
which immediately provoked a reaction
from Bob. Chenille likened the situation
to a math problem that needs to be
understood before it can be solved. He
concluded that to learn how to fight as
a team, everyone needs to grasp the
process and acknowledge their own
weaknesses. Ending the day's training,
Ubé announced he would continue training
with them tomorrow and wished everyone a
good rest. That night, Chenila slept in
the same bed as Yuruka. At some [music]
point, he woke up reflecting on how the
feeling of powerlessness watching his
comrades fall felt terrifyingly real. A
chilling thought gripped him. What if
this was a real battle and Yuruka or his
mother were in danger? Chenjilo resolved
that he wasn't strong enough yet to
protect everyone he loved. He remembered
his mother, who had given up a great job
at a good company to take a part-time
position just so she could take better
care of him. A distant memory flickers.
His mother asking her boss if she could
bring him to work on Wednesdays. The man
grumbles, claiming the boy would take up
customer space, but she promises he'd be
no trouble at all. Then he asks if she's
a single mother. A leerous smile spreads
across his face. He remarks that with
her looks, she wouldn't need to work so
hard. Then he suggests she go out with
him that night. She immediately shuts
him down, stating she's only there for a
job. Suddenly, little Chenji lays fist
connects with the man's stomach. The boy
screams, "Stop bullying my mom."
Panicked, his mother apologizes
profusely and begs her son to say sorry
to the boss. Enraged, the man explodes,
calling the boy a brat and spewing
threats. As he lunges forward, his
mother instantly steps in front,
shielding her son. With a lightning fast
move, she flips him over her shoulder,
slamming him to the ground. Then she
declares coldly, "If I don't get the
job, so be it." Tears streaming down her
face. She apologizes to her son,
heartbroken that they won't be able to
have hamburgers together anymore. In
that moment, young Chenilo gripped her
hand, making a silent, solemn vow. He
would protect her. Suddenly, a voice
warns him. "Wanting to protect others
with just your own strength? That's
nothing but a joke. He looks up,
recognizing the white-haired figure
materializing before him as that guy.
Cheng Lelay calls out to the mysterious
man. Where are you? No answer. He starts
to wonder what's happening. Certain he
heard that voice, he asks Yuruka if she
heard anything strange, but the little
creature just shakes her head. He
considers the possibility of auditory
hallucinations, a side effect of the
past few days intense strain. Yuruka,
sprawled across Chenule's stomach, calls
him Dada. He wonders how he'll ever
sleep with the kid lying on him. Then he
realizes Yuruka is already fast asleep.
With a resigned sigh, he covers the tiny
being with the blanket, muttering,
"Guess there's nothing for it." In the
quiet, he reflects on how his mother
managed to protect and raise him all
those years, completely alone. The path
forward becomes crystal clear. He must
increase his power, defeat the
guardians, and escape this village. The
mysterious man's voice echoed again,
claiming he felt Chenile's power drift
like cotton. The young man recognized
that comparison as [music] the most
fitting metaphor he'd ever heard. The
voice continued, explaining that clones
were still incredibly simple for him. At
that moment, Chenille confirmed he
wasn't imagining things. Suddenly, the
scenery shifted and he found himself in
an unknown place. Confused, he asked,
"Where am I? Why did I appear here?" The
mysterious man explained that this was
Chenille's inner world and he'd been
there since the moment he became his
master. Intrigued, the young man
questioned, "What exactly is this inner
world?" The guide replied that he'd only
managed to find him now because he was
too weak when he broke free from his
seal. Grateful, Chenula thanked him for
helping defeat the beast king and asked,
"Why are there flowers floating all
around?" He replied that he didn't know,
but explained that a person's inner
world reflects what's most important in
their subconscious. Holding one of the
flowers, Chen wondered why he had no
memories related to them. The guide
interrupted him. Don't dwell on
irrelevant things. That's not why I
brought you here. Next, he revealed the
true reason for calling him to this
place. His sole intention was to make
him stronger. He stated that even
recovering just 1% of his power would be
enough to demonstrate true chaotic
elemental power. Furthermore, he
declared that Chenille's current power
didn't even reach zero, so I 1% of his
own. Surprised, the young man
questioned, "Isn't that an exaggeration?
That would mean a thousandfold
difference between us." The guide
replied that even that estimate was
generous. Even so, he affirmed that it
didn't matter because if Chenilo died,
he would also cease to exist. At that
instant, a system window appeared before
them. The displayed mission was called
Chaos Lord Training. The objective was
simple. Survive for 3 minutes without
being defeated to achieve victory.
Analyzing the proposal, Chenile
considered the reward quite generous for
just 3 minutes of endurance. Finally,
the mysterious guide asked, "Shall we
begin?" Determined, Chenilo prepared for
the fight, declaring he would endure far
more than just 300 seconds. Assuming a
new form, the young man shouted to his
uncle, "We can begin." In a cathedral, a
woman asked Hicks if Chenju Lelay was
really that strong, as she'd never seen
him so injured. While receiving healing,
Hicks scoffed, "It was nothing more than
a slip up. That opponent is just an
insignificant nobody." Despite his
words, his expression revealed that even
he didn't believe it. A hooded woman
intervened, warning, "If Chenille had
used his full power, they'd be
collecting Hicks's corpse right now."
Shocked, he asked Luscious, "What
exactly did you just say?" Another
guardian scoffed, demanding how a
low-life like him ever became one of the
vill's four guardians. Hicks pointed a
finger at her, scoffing at her
arrogance, claiming even she wouldn't
stand a chance against that brat. The
guardian stomped on his head, coldly
stating she wouldn't mind helping to
eliminate a completely useless being.
She then admitted Chenzu was strong, but
in her eyes, he was nothing more than
brute force, lacking any refined battle
technique. Hicks snarled that if Lord
Dorup were here, taking down Ubé and his
crew would be trivial. Luscious
explained that Ubé was already
recruiting forces within the city, and
any direct move from Lord Dorop would
cause widespread panic. Intrigued,
[music] the other guardian demanded to
know what she meant. The hooded figure
then summoned a shadowy creature through
a shimmering barrier. The two guardians
watched, a gasast, as the form began to
materialize. An enormous werewolf known
as the Latoyana Vagabond materialized
before them. Luscious commanded the
creature to go eliminate the villagers.
The beast's eye locked onto its target.
The monster roared violently and lunged
towards its prey. The spiritual guide
landed with a firm step on the snow.
With only two minutes left on the clock,
Chenji lay pressed on through the white
landscape. He apologized to his uncle,
promising that if he could avoid combat
for 3 minutes, he'd complete the mission
and accept any training afterward. A
strange feeling washed over him when he
realized the guide wasn't pursuing him,
sparking a bad premonition. He looked
up, his gaze fixed on the sky. Then an
overwhelming attack plummeted from the
heavens directly onto him. The force of
the collision violently hurled him
backward. By pure instinct, Cheng Lelay
plunged his sword into the cliff's edge,
stopping his fall. Bracing himself on
the blade, he surveyed the destruction
before him. The single blow had ripped a
gigantic chasm into the earth. He
questioned how this could possibly be
called training when his life was
clearly on the line. He realized he'd
only survived because he'd activated the
beast king's shield with less than half
a second to react. From the other side
of the chasm, the spiritual guide's
voice boomed, asking if he was trying to
avoid a direct fight. The man admitted
he'd underestimated him, acknowledging
how quickly Chenille had managed to
defend himself. Still, he declared that
such cowardly behavior could not be
forgiven. Pointing urgently, Chenile
screamed at his uncle. Look behind you.
Annoyed, the guides spun around only to
face the young man across the chasm.
With time running out, Chenula knew he
needed to buy a few more moments to
complete his mission. He then asked if
they could fight later, claiming he
needed a few minutes to rest. The guide
questioned why he kept running,
reminding him that a real enemy would
never give him time to catch his breath.
Suddenly, the man appeared right behind
Chenile. He attacked with his sword,
declaring, "This is your first lesson."
At the last second, Chenile moved at
lightning speed and dodged. Now, he
stood directly before his opponent.
Calmly, he commented, "Luckily, that was
a physical attack. I managed to avoid it
just in time." The guide wondered how
the boy had appeared behind him. He
hadn't been able to track his movements.
Chenilo realized his skills cool down
would leave him vulnerable and only 30
seconds remained until the mission
ended. Keeping his distance, he asked if
he could rest a bit before they
continued, promising not to run away.
The guide accepted the pause but asked
what skill he had used moments before.
Cheng Le replied, "You must be talking
about Flash." A system notification
popped up announcing that time had run
out and the mission was successfully
completed. The guide explained that he
gained his skills through the system by
leveling up and using them was like
giving direct commands to his own body.
Chinjile then asked if there was
anything wrong with using a skill to
avoid attacks. The mysterious man
admitted he didn't fully understand, but
he felt like he'd seen that skill
before. Chenile asked, "Has anyone else
ever used it?" He mused that his own
body's reaction felt familiar, though he
couldn't recall who had made him feel
the same way in a past battle. The
memory of Heissiad's legend told by Ubé
flashed through his mind, making him
connect the dots. With that, he began to
wonder if his uncle could actually be
the legendary hero. A faint smile
touched his lips as he told the man, "I
think I know who you really are."
Surprised, the guide stared at him in
silence, pointing at him, Chenelo
revealed, "You're Heiziod, the man who
saved the world by defeating the evil
god Morpheus." Then he asked, "Do you
remember anything?" The mysterious man
repeated the name Heziod softly as if
testing out that identity. Elsewhere,
Rackler slept soundly, clutching a small
doll. Beside him, Buban grumbled about
having to share a room with a beast man
brought by Ubé. Sitting up in bed, he
declared, "I can't take this anymore."
Suddenly, a familiar scent filled the
air, his body tensing. Bob spun around
sharply and exclaimed, "It's him."
Without wasting a second, he bolted out
of the room at top speed. The commotion
woke Rashidler, who jolted awake,
startled, and asked, "Was that an
earthquake?" As Boan raced down the
corridor, the figure of Latiana's
vagabond materialized on the ceiling
behind him. Amidst the wreckage,
Rashidler gets up and asks what
happened. Looking around, he sees the
house is severely damaged and wonders if
Bob was buried. The thought of the young
man being crushed to death fills him
with dread. Suddenly, something streaks
past him at incredible speed. A rock
smashes into his face, his nose [music]
bleeding. Ratchidler roars, "Who's
looking for a death wish this late at
night?" He looks up and recognizes the
figure of the Latana wanderer. The
creature lunges forward, delivering a
powerful punch to Bob. The young man
leaps back, readying his swords for the
fight. Without a moment's pause, the
beast charges again, attacking with
savage claws. After landing, Boban
confirms he wasn't mistaken about the
monster's identity. The beast unleashes
a deafening roar at him. With hatred
burning in his eyes, he declares,
"That's the demonic beast that killed my
parents. I'll never forget it." Boon
states he's trained all these years to
find it, but never imagined it would
come to him. Ratchidler arrives asking
if Boan is okay and demanding to know
why a demonic beast appeared [music]
there. Boan orders Richard to leave
immediately. He swears, "I'll tear that
creature limb from limb and spill its
blood over my parents' grave." He takes
a combat stance, ready for battle. The
monster lunges again, roaring, "Die,
Bob!" From a distance, [music] the
necromancer woman watches the scene with
interest. She comments to her companions
that she summoned other demonic beasts
to lure Ubé. In a cold tone, she orders
Hicks, "Deal with the other rookies.
Lord Dorop will handle the main target."
Before that, she warns him not to fail
again. Desperate, Rashidler races to
UB's house, shouting that a demonic
beast has invaded the village. Ubé opens
the door, demanding to know what's
happening. Rashidler quickly explains
that Boan is fighting the creature. The
older man turns a serious gaze toward
the village. In the distance, he sees
destruction spreading. Without
hesitation, Ubé orders Rashidler, "Find
Chen Jle and tell him to stay with
Sali." He speeds off. Legends say the
savior Heziad wielded the power of the
chaos element. They also say he defeated
the evil god Murius, sealing him in
Altalos's infernal tower. With this,
Chenelo concludes that his uncle must be
Heiod and that the place he rescued him
from was the infernal tower itself. He
then asks his uncle if he can remember
anything. The man replies that his mind
is still completely blank, leaving the
young man perplexed. Chenjilu questions
why his memory hasn't returned. Since in
anime and manga, characters usually
remember everything when they hear their
own name. The guide explains that even
as head, he still can't access his past
memories. Despite this, he admits that
seeing the young man's ability gave him
a familiar feeling. This reaction made
him feel, even if slightly, connected to
that world once more. Chenzila reflects
on his own mysteries like why he was
brought to this place and how he
awakened the chaos element. He believes
that if his uncle truly is Hessiad and
regains his memory, all these questions
might finally be answered. The guide
then challenges him to fight again,
hoping the confrontation will help him
remember something, and the young man
accepts without hesitation. Suddenly, a
tiny cry pierces the air. Chenile
immediately recognizes Yuruka's call.
Back in his room, a guardian closes in
on Chenille's sleeping form. Her gaze
fixed on the child beside him. A silent
question in her eyes. She whispers to
the child, "Don't be afraid. I'm only
here to kill him, not you." Her eyes
lock onto the sleeping youth as the tiny
creature screams, "Yuruka!" The guardian
smirks. "If you can't bear to be parted,
then you can join him." With a swift
motion, she unleashes an attack, aiming
straight for Yuruka. The blow, however,
is blocked by an invisible barrier,
stunning the woman. She spins around
thanking someone named Luca for the
protection. Just then, Cheni Lelay
appears, cradling the small creature. He
tells her, "Leave her to me. She's easy
to handle." The Latoyama wanderer
approaches two fallen women. Its massive
maw gapes open, ready to devour them.
Before it could strike, a counterattack
slams into it, sending it violently,
hurtling backward. Uber holds the little
girl in his arms and asks if she's okay.
He then turns to face a horde of other
monsters all at once. Two creatures
close in, their eyes fixed on him. Just
then, Bros appears, unleashing his snake
attack. He joins UB, demanding, "What's
happening? Why are these monsters
attacking the village?" UB explains that
the area is protected by an enchantment,
meaning these creatures shouldn't have
breached it so easily. He realizes the
enemies couldn't wait any longer, and
this invasion is nothing but a
diversion. Bros and Foa grasp the
chilling truth. Their enemy's real goal
is to eliminate them within the city's
own walls. Uber then turns and calls
them both by name. He orders them to
head to the city center, rescue the
inhabitants, and bring them to his home.
Bros asks where he intends to go. Uber
replies he'll go to the enchantment's
boundary on the city's outskirts to
receal it. Concerned, Bros insists on
joining him, warning that the area is
swarming with monsters. Unwavering, Ubri
commands them to protect the villagers.
With that, he summons his first bolt of
thunder and vanishes in a flash.
Luscious watches, noting that Chenille's
speed seems even greater than their last
encounter. Chila recognizes her as the
hooded figure who attacked Salie and
Boon and is stunned to realize that
Lucio was actually a woman. He then
demands, "Why do you love launching
sneak attack so much?" Annoyed, Lucius
snaps back, "Who are you calling
auntie?" Chenilo demands to know why
they're so bent on killing them when
they could achieve freedom by defeating
God himself. Luscious retorts that Lord
Doroth built this city with his own
blood and sweat. The young man counters
that the temple has always been a lie.
She insists [music] that defying divine
will is pure foolishness. He then
declares that the temple is real. With a
firm voice, he warns that anyone who
stands in his way of finding the temple
or harms his companions will have to
face him. Luscious scoffs, calling him a
braggard. Defeating Hicks, the weakest
guardian, doesn't make you powerful, she
sneers. She declares her battle power is
on par with Dorops. Immediately after,
she summons countless blade wielding
wolf creatures. Then she commands her
shadow army to advance. The protagonist
braces for the imminent attack.
Activating his sacred blade skill, he
channels energy into his sword. With a
single devastating strike, he
obliterates all the summoned wolves.
Luscious watches the scene, utterly
stunned. That's impossible, she gasps.
Enraged, [music] she unleashes an
attack. Thousands of blades rain down
from the sky. Chenille reacts instantly,
activating an item in his hand. A shield
instantly forms around him, deflecting
every single blade. From within the
barrier, he taunts. Is this the power
you boasted about? Surprised, she admits
she underestimated him, unable to
believe he nullified her attack with
such ease. Lusious lands on the ground,
a smirk playing on her lips. "Not bad,"
she conceds. She then declares that was
just a warm-up and prepares to fight
seriously. The man then reveals a new
gigantic sword emanating an oppressive
presence. The guardian declares, "Now
you'll see my true power." At that
moment, a quest update flashes,
informing him of Delk's defense and the
city's escalating instability. At the
city's edge, a massive confrontation was
unfolding. Amidst the chaos, monsters
clashed with each other as the defensive
barrier began to crumble. Many channeled
their energy into a massive pillar,
desperately trying to sustain the
defense. Warriors fought bravely against
the monstrous horde. Finally, the
creatures shattered the barrier and
swarmed into the city. One of the
defenders yelled for Gloria, asking how
long she'd take to repair the zone's
boundary. Gloria replied that the number
of beasts was only growing and there
wasn't enough energy to restore the
barrier. A hooded man ordered everyone
to hold their ground, reminding them
their mission was to protect this place.
He commanded Vagner and Romo to contain
the beasts [music] and defend the city.
The warrior roared for everyone to hold
their positions. The protective barrier
completely shattered. One of the mages
warned, "It won't hold much longer." A
powerful attack struck precisely where
the barrier had been breached. The rift
slowly began to close. One man
questioned, "Was that Marty's doing?"
While a woman cheered, seeing the
opening sealed. Uber appeared floating
in the air, radiating overwhelming
power. One of the men immediately
recognized him as one of the 12 heroes.
As he landed, the monsters recoiled from
his presence. With a single motion, he
struck down the creatures surrounding
the warriors. Uber declared he would
handle Dartmouth and Cory, ordering the
others to deal with the rest. The mag's
leader commanded everyone to move to the
next rift. Then Uber prepared to unleash
a large-scale attack. An incredibly
powerful gust of wind erupted against
the monsters. The blow struck the
creatures, disintegrating them
completely. Amidst the chaos, a hooded
figure materialized in the sky. One of
the warriors identified him. Lord
Dolipo. Suddenly, the defenders realized
they were encircled by a new threat.
Flames engulfed them from all sides. Ubé
challenged him. What do you think you're
doing? Do sneered. I granted these
martyrs the chance to live so I can take
it away whenever I please. He declared,
"This is the fate of those who dare
betray me." A rain of swords descended
upon Chenji. Moving at blinding speed,
he dodged the blades. A powerful attack
was unleashed directly at him. However,
the enemy's sword was caught in the maw
of a creature. The beast held the blade
firm as Chen braced for his
counterattack. He lunged directly at his
adversary. Chenelos and the creature's
blades clashed with immense force.
Lusious gasped, her weapon practically
vibrating with the sheer power. The
collision's impact sent her reeling.
Chenilo then warned her to be more
careful to avoid unnecessary trouble.
She scoffed, asking what was wrong with
Marty, then declared Lord Dolop would
punish all traitors. She then revealed
Lord Dolop was one of the 12 heroes.
Chenju lay stunned, asked if Dolop had
truly arrived. He gripped Grandfather
Ubé's sword, questioning if his
opponent's lack of a weapon wasn't a
disadvantage. But he quickly dismissed
the thought, realizing this was no time
for hesitation. Determined he resolved
to end this once and for all. Luscious
sensed his combat power had surged even
higher. She recomposed herself, ready to
face him, staring Chenila down, pushing
her body to its absolute limit. She
managed to block his strike. In [music]
the next instant, Chenila vanished from
her sight, only to reappear behind her,
landing a precise punch. Wounded,
Luscious staggered, demanding, "Why
didn't you kill me?" Chenila simply
watched her in silence, then turned and
walked away. A system window popped up,
displaying the defense mission update.
Elsewhere, Ubé strode through a corridor
of unstable energy. He quickened his
pace, closing in on the man ahead.
Suddenly, both were dragged into the
heart of a violent maelstrom. Uber
unleashed a powerful attack against his
adversary. Dopo taunted him. "Do you
still have the strength of your youth?"
Ubé retorted, "My prime is long past. I
am but an old man now." Dopo declared
himself a god who despises those who age
and slowly decay. The attack struck him
squarely. Then Dopo unleashed his wind
howl. Two energy tornadoes erupted
before him. He bid Ure farewell.
Luscious collapsed to her knees,
groaning, "My whole body aches. I can't
move." She realized she could have been
killed in that instant. Yet, she
couldn't understand why Chenilo had
shown her mercy. She accused him of
humiliating her. "Are you too arrogant
to kill me?" She screamed, "I'm not
grateful. I'll find a chance to kill you
later." Chengi Le replied, "He didn't
want her thanks. He had something urgent
to do." She warned him, "Next time, it
won't be the hilt of a sword hitting
me." He reflected that he couldn't kill
her. Even though she was an NPC,
everything felt too real. His conscience
held him back. Chen Jula understood that
even in a virtual game devoid of moral
responsibility, the weight of taking a
life would forever scar his mind. Saly
approached informing him, "Ureé is at
the enchantment west of the city."
Lusious warned him. Even together, you
and UB can't defeat Lord Dopp. Chenille
told her not to worry. He instructed her
to follow the map and take Uzi to UB at
the enchantment west of the city.
Gripping Yuruka firmly, he declared they
needed to hurry and help Grandfather
Ubé. Then he leaped away at high speed,
shouting, "I'm already on my way to help
him." Do stared down the energy sphere,
hurtling towards him. In the next
instant, the impact struck him squarely,
sending him flying backward. The
attack's force dragged him through the
air, culminating in a violent explosion
that echoed across the entire
battleground. Ubé landed firmly, ready
to continue the fight. He stared at
Dolapo, who slowly recomposed himself
amidst the rubble, a cold smile twisting
his lips. With a clenched fist, UB
charged without hesitation. His punch
tore through the air, creating a
powerful shock wave that ripped across
the city's rooftops, making buildings
tremble. Dolapo sneers. It's pathetic to
see an old man struggle so hard to
protect a bunch of idiots. He claims
it's been ages since he found anyone
capable of entertaining him. Yet, he
laments that Ubé lacks the strength to
defeat him. As a reward, he promises to
unleash the true terror of facing a four
element mage. Behind him, four elemental
creatures materialize, radiating an
overwhelming pressure. Bros reacts
instantly, landing a fierce kick on one
of the creatures. Feloka, with precise
movements, slices another monster with
his daggers. After the attack, he
sheaths his weapons and reports that no
new creatures have appeared in the area
so far. Bros remarks, "Looks like Uncle
Ure managed to fix the city's
boundaries." He then asks, "How are you
feeling, Feloka?" Feloka replies, "I'm
fine, but I've never seen so many highle
beasts gathered at once." Gazing at the
partially destroyed city, one of them
comments, "Enemies keep swarming like
ants. It's hard to imagine how the
residents have survived this long.
Seeing the countless bodies scattered
around, he concludes, "These people must
have faced something a thousand times
worse in the past." Bros warns, "The
beasts in the city center are
annihilated, but the residents on the
outskirts are still fighting and need
help." Foca agrees instantly. Then Bros
looks up and asks, "What's that strange
sound?" Feloka recognizes the summoning
of water and fire elementals, stating,
"It's the first time I've witnessed
something on this scale. How are there
still such powerful mages in this city?
Braz explains, "A multi-elemental mage
usually isn't as powerful as a single
element specialist." Bitterly, he
concludes that bastard is the only
exception, capable of wielding multiple
elements with such immense power. Feloka
shouts, "Bross, look at the sky."
Countless attacks crisscross above them
in a chaotic dance of destruction.
Amidst the flames, UB charges forward as
someone shouts his name from a distance.
Before him, a fire dragon unleashes a
massive energy sphere. UB skillfully
evades the converging barrage of
attacks. In response, he counters with a
devastating punch just as Dopo
announces, "Thunder strike." The old man
channels all his energy to break free
from the technique, but his opponent
merely smiles, declaring, "Resistance is
feudal." A rock creature lunges,
attempting to crush him. With a
determined roar, UB unleashes a direct
punch. The impact tears through the
golem's body, shattering it completely.
He floats in the air for a brief instant
as the creature's remains rain down
around him. Suddenly, a colossal mass of
water engulfves him. Uber is trapped
within a violent maelstrom formed by the
waves of a water elemental. The water
prison shatters in a deafening
explosion. Liquid fragments blast in all
directions as the pressure dissipates.
Ubé, leaning on a nearby rock, gasps for
breath and watches a small water
creature form before him, condensing
drop by drop. Behind him, the stone
golem begins to reconstruct itself,
piecing together its rock fragments in a
seemingly inevitable process. [music]
The elemental creature rises fully,
ready to strike. Wounded, Ubé kneels,
gasping for breath, feeling the weight
of his ears in every ragged inhale.
Dopproes slowly, impressed, [music] and
comments, "You still managed to dodge
that attack." But then he snears,
reminding him, "A mortal is still just a
mortal. Your body has aged far too
much." He boasts of possessing a
youthful body and limitless powers,
something he claims that would make
anyone envious. Always in command,
always above others. Dopp then taunts
him. Is it truly comfortable living as a
walking corpse, selling your own soul
for eternal power? UB retorts, his
voice. Aren't you, Dolapo, the one truly
envious of others? Enraged, Dolapo
screams, "Shut up!" A blast of energy
shot straight at UB. Dopo glared, fury
in his eyes as the attack slammed into
him. Uber was engulfed by the energy,
forcibly lifted into the air. Doppeld
him suspended, threatening to crush him
as easily as an ant. Then he revealed
his twisted plan. He'd blame UB for
opening the frontier, then declare
himself the god who slew him to save the
people. Uber, gasping for breath, could
only roar, "Go to hell!" Suddenly, a
blur of incredible speed streaked across
the battlefield. The impact slammed into
Doppo, shattering his attack. The energy
dispersed violently. Chenji emerged from
the [music] debris, catching the elder
before he could fall. UB recognized him
instantly, calling out his name. Dolapo
slowly recomposed himself, scanning his
surroundings. Who dares interfere? He
snarled. Chenilo asked, "Grandpa Ure,
are you all right?" UB replied, "Just
superficial wounds." Before asking, "How
did you get here?" Chenilo explained, "I
came as soon as Luscious was defeated. I
figured Dalipo would try to kill you."
He apologized for not returning Ozul
sooner. Uber told him not to blame
himself, explaining, "Even with Ozul, I
might not have been able to defeat Dopo.
Our enemy sold his soul for unimaginable
power." Uber continued, explaining, "My
body is old, my strength has waned, and
my movements no longer obey my will. I
am just a mortal in decline." He then
instructed Chenula, "Use a teleportation
barrier and escape with the others. I'll
hold Doppo off." But the young man
turned, resolute, and declared he
wouldn't leave his grandfather behind.
He vowed, "I won't abandon Yuruka, Sali,
Boon, Bros, Feloka, or anyone else who
is now part of my life." Chengile said,
"My mother always taught me never to
lose faith, never to surrender to
destiny, even when living as a mortal is
painful." He affirmed, "We can defeat
Dopo, and we'll lead everyone to the
temple." UB stared at the young man for
a few seconds. Then, with a tired smile,
declared, "Then we'll leave this place
together." The instant Chenji Lelay
gripped his sword tighter, a system
window flashed before his eyes. Mission
complete. The lost weapon ozippo began
to laugh, scoffing. Do you really think
you're leaving here together? In the sky
above the group, an immense sphere of
energy began to form. A luminous mass
poised to violently collide with the
ground. Facing the imminent impact,
Chenile and Ubra braced for
confrontation. With utter contempt, the
enemy sneered, "You insufferable fools,
still daring to defy me." Without
hesitation, Dolapo roared, "Die!" and
unleashed his explosive fire rain
ability. Countless incandescent blasts
rain down upon them. To counter the
attack, Ubé raises a defensive barrier.
Beside him, Chenjilu strains to maintain
the shield as a system alert warns that
Fineer's defenses are on the verge of
shattering. The ring on his hand begins
to crack under the immense pressure. In
mere moments, the entire battleground is
engulfed by a colossal fiery explosion.
Convinced of his victory, Doppo declares
that no one could survive such a rain of
flames. Questioning if UB had been
reduced to ashes, suddenly a massive
energy dome erupts over the area.
Shielded by the barrier, Ubé and
Chenille look up, utterly stunned, the
young man shouts Yuruka's name, seeing
her floating at the center of the
protective dome. Immediately after, a
system window announces Yuruka's will to
fight has been activated. Another screen
pops up detailing her magic hunt ability
capable of absorbing and converting
magical damage. Witnessing this, Doppo
wonders how a mere child could wield a
magic shield of that caliber, deeming it
utterly impossible. Chengle rushes to
Yuruka, asking if she's hurt. With a
faint smile on her lips, the young girl
loses consciousness. Without hesitation,
he scoops [music] her into his arms,
assuring her that everything would be
all right and that daddy's here. In that
instant, he realizes Yuruka had blocked
a terrifying attack, one that even the
Beast King's shield couldn't withstand.
Without her intervention, both he and
Grandpa Ubé would have been reduced to
ashes. However, a system notification
flashes, informing him that she has lost
her power and will be stored for 24
hours. Grateful, Chenille tells Yuruka
to rest well while he takes down Dopo.
The system then confirms the girl's
storage. Observing the situation, Ubé
warns that Dolapo has been casting
spells non-stop and must now be in a
skill cooldown. The veteran then
proposes they draw the enemy's attacks,
creating an opening for Chenile to get
close. The young man agrees instantly.
Without wasting a moment, Ubé charges at
Dopo with incredible speed. As he moves,
Chenile wonders about Dolapo's level,
assuming it's no lower than Fineers. The
analysis window pops open before his
eyes, but only question marks appear for
the opponent's attributes. Annoyed, the
young man realizes he can't view
Dolapo's information like he could with
the raiders. Across the field, Doppo
watched Ubé approach, scoffing. He's as
resilient as an insect. Hovering in the
air, the Elder brandished his sword at
his opponent. Weapon firm in hand, Ubra
declared, "The time for a true ending
has come." Energy surged into his blade,
signaling a powerful attack in the
making. To Doppo, the idea of an ending
seemed laughable. He only foresaw a
one-sided slaughter. Ubé retorted,
warning him that certainty isn't
absolute. With a roar, the elder
unleashed his power while Dolapo
muttered his regret for what was about
to unfold. Channeling the earth's power,
the ground ahead began to tremble
violently. A massive rock platform
erupted from the soil, rising swiftly.
From it, Ubé leaped into the air as
Chenilo landed on the ground. The attack
surged forward, tearing through the
terrain towards the enemy. The released
energy split the surrounding rock
formations. In quick succession, Ubé
unleashed a flurry of slashes, violently
striking the rocks. Anticipating the
assault, Dopo prepared to counterattack.
Surrounded by several energy spheres,
two elemental creatures, one of water
and one of fire, charged at Ubé, but
were easily obliterated. Seizing the
distraction, Chenili surged forward
amidst the clash of creatures. Dopo, now
encircled by dozens of energy spheres,
watched [music] UB and Chenille split up
to confront him. Arrogantly, the enemy
warned them to save their breath,
claiming they wouldn't get close like
that. Suddenly, a bolt of energy ripped
across the battlefield at blinding
speed. Sensing its approach, Dolapo
whipped his head around. In that
instant, Chenille appeared behind him,
exclaiming, "The plan worked." Without
hesitation, the young man activated
obliteration and a system alert flashed.
90% HP reduction. With a grunt of
effort, he landed a direct hit on
Dolapo. As the impact hit, shackles
began to materialize on Chenille's
wrists and ankles, [music] pinning him
in place. Dolapo scoffed at what he
deemed a ridiculous child's trick.
However, [music] a powerful blow
suddenly slammed into Dolapo's gut with
full force. A system window popped up
detailing, "Divine action, increases
movement speed, and removes negative
effects." Capitalizing on the opening,
Chenille attacked with God's Fist, an
ability unleashing 20 consecutive
strikes on a single target. Thanks to
another active effect, the damage from
this attack converted to true damage. UB
charges forward, screaming for Dopo to
die and lands a powerful punch. Giving
no time to react, the veteran declares
this is the decisive moment to strike.
Raising his sword, he states it doesn't
matter that Dopo sacrificed his soul to
the devil for overwhelming power. UB
presses his attack, reminding his foe
that a mage's greatest weakness has
always been their defense. While
admitting the strike might seem
excessive, he guarantees it will be more
than enough to end his life. The blade
then descends with full force, aimed at
the ground, and the impact unleashes a
colossal explosion that utterly
devastates the surrounding area. From
[music] a distance, Chenille watches the
aftermath of the clash. After the
strike, Ubé bends over, clearly
exhausted. Shortly after, he straightens
up and declares the fight has finally
ended. Approaching Chenula, UB states
they need to split up to repair the
various damaged parts of the barrier.
The plan is simple. [music] The young
man must head west while he will go east
where monsters still seem to be
fighting. However, Chenula suddenly
stops, claiming something doesn't feel
right. Immediately after, the problem's
true nature becomes clear to him. The
young man explains to Uber that despite
the battle seemingly ending flawlessly,
no system notification was received
after the fight. At the same time, UB
also senses something strange in the
air. In the sky, Dopo appears floating
completely unharmed. With disdain, he
comments that he never imagined that kid
would be able to break free from his
control. Dopp admits this allowed UB to
get close enough to attack, something he
hadn't foreseen. He then claims the
power he wields is far beyond what
anyone can imagine. As his wounds begin
to heal, watching closely, Chenile
realizes Dolapo has regenerated all his
wounds, just as had happened with the
raiders. Beside him, Ubé admits he was
wrong. Revealing the truth, he explains
that the source of Dolapo's power
doesn't come from the devil, but from
Hades, the god of the underworld.
Surprised, Cheng Lelay questions,
[music] "Is he really talking about
Hades, the god of the underworld?" In
response, Ubé asks if he remembers
Salule's parents, stating that the power
they used is the same one Dopp now
manifesting. The young man recalls
hearing them mention something about
Hades. In his memory, Argalis turns to a
woman and states, "That's not what it
looks like." He then observes the fallen
bodies, lamenting having wasted another
trip and wondering how he'll explain
this to Lord Hades. However, one of the
men fallen on the ground threatens him
with death, questioning, "Where do you
think you're going?" Desperate, the man
then screams to the sky, "Who is the
demon? Why was this done?" These
memories solidified Ubra's conviction.
Now that Dopo wielded the same power,
there was no doubt. Sali's parents'
deaths and their imprisonment in Latana
were directly linked to him. Dilopo
claimed he hadn't expected UB to
recognize the powers's origin, but made
it clear he wouldn't waste it on them.
Hovering in the air, he sneered, "Still
haven't grasped that elemental abilities
are useless against me?" With disdain,
he asked, "Why not just accept a
painless death instead of insisting on
fighting?" As his body began to
gradually fade, he promised he would
still torture them with pleasure.
[music] Chenulu and Uber looked up at
the sky. The elder questioning, "Did he
really vanish?" Both scanned their
surroundings, searching for any sign of
the enemy. Just then, a system
notification flashed. Target
disappeared. The battlefield plunged
into silence. Only the message
confirming the target's disappearance
remained. Analyzing the situation,
Chenilo concluded Doolapo hadn't fled at
high speed, but simply dissolved into
thin air. Annoyed, the young man
muttered a curse under his breath.
Suddenly, Doolo reappeared right behind
Ubé, announcing coldly, "I'm here."
without warning, he unleashed a violent
punch into the elder man's stomach. The
impact shattered UB's ribs. Desperate,
Chen Jalo screamed his grandfather's
name. Driven by instinct, the young man
lunged with a kick, sending Dolapo
flying. As he landed, [music] he glared
at his enemy's colossal figure. Then,
the young man landed a direct punch to
his opponent's face, but the struck body
dissolved into thin air. Confused,
Chenilo stared at his own fist,
wondering what had just happened. Still,
he braced himself to continue the
confrontation against Dalipo. Suddenly
appearing from behind, the enemy struck
him, questioning, "Where do you think
you're looking?" With contempt, [music]
Dolapo called him an insignificant
existence for daring to challenge him. A
flurry of rapid blows slammed into
Chenille. Collapsed on the ground, the
young man glared at Dopo, struggling to
catch his breath. A system notification
blares, warning him his life is below
10% and he needs to recover. Faced with
this, Chenille mutters that the bastard
has a stealing ability and his attacks
are lightning fast and devastating.
Remembering UB's words, the young man
recalls Dopo's powers came from a god.
Realizing this is in fact the power of
Hades, the protagonist wonders how they
could possibly counter such an
overwhelming force. A cruel smile twists
Dopo's lips as he asks if Chenile is
already starting to fall into despair.
He then declares that humans are born
marked by darkness, always praying on
the weak, proclaiming himself above all,
he states that witnessing others despair
fills him with joy. Holding a projection
of Chenille, Dolapo sarcastically asks,
"Do you wish to be a hero and save the
world?" Immediately after, he offers him
a chance to live, provided the young man
can entertain him a little longer.
Before the taunt can go further, Ubé's
sword slices through the air at blinding
speed, heading straight for them. The
older man roars for Dolopo to release
him. Next, he unleashes the first style
of lightning, the blinding slash. Yet,
Doolo merely smiles and flings Ubé's
sword away. Chenilo's projection remains
trapped by an unknown force. With
disdain, Dopo challenges Ubé, claiming
all elemental attacks are useless
against his divine powers. He explains
that no matter the elemental strength,
mortals cannot kill gods. Faced with
this, Chenile wonders if elemental
abilities truly can't harm a god, and if
the game itself was designed that way.
Turning his attention back to the young
man, Doppo declares he's already given
him an opportunity, and now it's time to
decide. The offer is [music] clear. If
Chenille kills Ubé, Dolapo will allow
him and his friends to live. In
response, the young man's projection
commands, "Stop dreaming." Enraged, Dopp
threatens him, vowing to make Chenji
watch UB's torture and death before
doing the same to his friends. Multiple
rocks are hurled at incredible speed.
The attack slams into Uber, who writhes
violently from the impact. Coldly,
Doolopo suggests that instead of
prolonging the suffering, it would be
better for UB to die quickly and
painlessly. Consumed by rage, Chenille
screams for the bastard to leave him
alone. In response, Doppo reminds him
the choice is simple. Watch everyone die
or kill Ure to save them. He then
declares that everyone's fate rests in
Chenille's hands. Overwhelmed by
despair, the young man curses his own
weakness, helpless to do anything but
watch his grandfather and friends die.
Images of Sali, Bobin, Braza, and Yuruka
flash through his mind, he remembers his
mother, unsure what might have happened
to her back home. Torn between fear and
responsibility, he wonders what he
should do. Just then, a mysterious voice
echoes, questioning if such a weak piece
of trash could truly be considered a
god. Startled, Chenille turns towards
the voice and calls out, "Uncle."
Suddenly, Chenile finds himself in a
snow-covered landscape. With newfound
determination, the young man looks back.
The white-haired man declares he'd be
deeply ashamed if the master he chose
were to die to trash like that. Chenile
replies that he couldn't harm him with
his elemental power because Dolapo now
wields the powers of a god. At this, the
man reveals that rule only applies to
common elements. Next, the man questions
what exactly the young man means by
that. The explanation follows swiftly.
If the boy dies, he too will vanish,
which is why he cannot allow his master
to be killed by a false god. The man
conceds the underworld god's power is
immense, but declares that unfortunately
for Dopo, he crossed paths with Cheng
Le. Confused, the young man asks, "Why
me?" In response, the man reveals that
while normal elemental powers can't harm
a god, the element of chaos is unique
and special. In that instant, Chenila
grasps the truth. The power of chaos can
kill a god. The mysterious man then
declares, "It's time for him to awaken
to the true nature of this power." Back
[music] in reality, Dolapo cackles,
"Have you finally given up, Chenile?" He
threatens to kill UB, but the
protagonist remains silent, his eyes
still closed. Enraged, [music] Dolapo
conjures a blade of pure energy,
declaring, "It's time for UB to die."
Yet, he suddenly spins around, sensing a
shift in the very air. A system
notification flashes, "Rcharge complete
for blessing and annihilation slash."
Simultaneously, Chenlay's projection
begins to morph. The young man activates
blessing and the system booms. All
negative effects removed, power
enhanced. Finding the situation
intriguing, Doulapo decides to strike
him down first, but Chenile blocks the
attack with shocking ease. Stunned, his
adversary registers the sudden immense
power radiating from the young man. In
one swift motion, Chenile shoves Dolapo
back. Next, he grabs him, preparing to
annihilate him. All his power is
unleashed against the opponent. Dolapo's
health bar begins to plummet
drastically. Without giving him a chance
to react, Chen Jila relentlessly
attacks, raining down blows and kicks on
his opponent. Suddenly, his uncle
appears beside him, declaring, "The
power of chaos is like water capable of
extinguishing any fire." Just then, a
system window pops up, showing his
newfound power boosts. With unwavering
conviction, Chenilo declares, "I am a
god slayer by nature." UB watches
Chenilo's figure hovering in the sky.
Witnessing the scene, Ubé wonders if
this is the true power of chaotic
elemental energy. Immediately, Chenula
asks his guide, "Why am I only now
gaining access to the full power of this
element?" The man replies, "If your
opponent wasn't wielding the power of
the gods, I would never have revealed
your god slaying ability." He explains,
"This power is an absolute taboo. Those
who wield it inevitably draw attention.
From this moment forward, the gods will
spare no effort to send their strongest
warriors to kill you." He makes it
[music] clear. In the future, your
enemies won't be mere pawns, but the
gods themselves. A quest notification
pops up. Scattered tears elixir
obtained. Chaotic trials quest
activated. Clutching the vial, Chen
Gilelay declares, "I'll get out of this
place, even if it makes me an enemy of
the gods." The item description reveals
incredibly potent recovery and
strengthening effects lasting for 1
minute. Without hesitation, the young
man declares, "All that's left is to
kill that bastard." And then gulps down
the elixir. As the effects surge through
him, he proclaims, "It's time to put an
end to all of this." In a distant cave,
Doppo groans, "This is impossible."
Confused, he wonders why he's still
trembling in pain, even after Lord Hades
took his soul and senses. Then he
curses, "What the hell did that guy do
to me?" A terrifying thought crosses his
mind. Could that young man be the
legendary god Slayer? Suddenly, an
attack slams into him without warning.
Chenille's strike violently smashes into
the ground. Reeling from the impact,
Dopo curses the bastard with pure
hatred. Next, Chenulu charges forward,
unleashing divine blessing and sacred
slash. To evade the attack, Dopo
activates his invisibility. The strike
passes right through the spot where he
had just been. Immediately after, a
system notification blared. Scattered
eyes activated. Opponent stealth
nullified. Dopo reeled in shock,
realizing the kid could actually see
him. Then, a torrent of blows slammed
into Doppo. The system displayed 30
accumulated hits, three burst damage
strikes, more damage registered, and
another notification flashed. Divine
blessing cooldown complete. Another
message clarified. Divine blessing
drains opponents life. Skill effects
nearing end, consumed by rage. Chenile
roared, "Go to hell, Doppo." He
unleashed all his remaining energy into
one final attack. As the blow landed,
Doolapo wondered, "Is this the true
power of a god killer?" Giving no
quarter, Cheni Lelay lunged with the
finishing strike. The impact triggered a
massive explosion, engulfing the entire
area. The shock wave tore through the
forest, obliterating everything in its
path. In the distance, Ubé watched the
explosions flash light up the horizon.
Elsewhere on the battlefield, Boan stood
firm at top a defeated monster's corpse.
Around him, Bros and Foka silently
surveyed the wreckage left by the clash.
Meanwhile, Salili was completely
enveloped in an intense light. Beast
King Fineir was also consumed by the
same luminous energy. As the glow began
to fade, a system notification blared,
"Dollopo annihilated. 3 million
experience points granted. Immediately,
Chenille received numerous items and
leveled up five times in a single
surge." The system then confirmed.
Chaotic Trials quest complete. New
functions activated. Overwhelmed by
extreme exhaustion, Chenilo collapsed to
his knees as Ure sprinted towards him.
Reaching him, Ubé placed a hand on his
shoulder and called his name. With
immense effort, the protagonist lifted
his gaze and whispered to his
grandfather, "I won." UB caught him the
instant Chenile lost consciousness,
screaming his name in desperation. In
the underworld, a colossal structure
floated amidst the perpetual darkness.
Countless souls remained trapped within
vials, meticulously aligned on towering
shelves. Comfortably seated in an
armchair, Hades calmly sipped a cup of
tea. On one of the shelves, the soul
contained within a vial slowly flickered
out. Watching the scene, Hades mused,
"Wasn't Dolapo's soul the guardian of
Latoyana?" Continuing his drink, he
remarked, "A god killer has emerged in
Latoyana. Ceil should already be on his
way. Elsewhere, a small boat sailed
alone across an endless sea. At the bow,
Argolas stood while a hooded skeletal
figure positioned itself behind him.
Impatiently, Argolas grumbled about the
boat's sluggish pace, though he conceded
it was the only possible transport on
this sea. Turning, he asked Ceil, "How
much longer until we reach Latoyana?"
With a calm voice, the skeletal figure
replied, "Our destination is just
ahead." A voice calls out to Cheni Lei,
urging him to wake up. Hearing his name
again, the young man finally opens his
eyes. Confused, he wonders if the voice
he heard was his mother's. Then he
screams for her inside the train car,
startling the other passengers. The
people around him just stare in silence.
Looking around, Chenile wonders what's
happening and why he's there. An
irritated man snaps at him, accusing him
of being crazy for his shouts. After the
announcement of the next stop, Chenile
wonders if he's truly back in the real
world. Overwhelmed with emotion, he
celebrates his return while the man
sneers, calling him a lunatic. The train
continues its journey towards University
Avenue. Trying to diffuse the tension,
Chenille apologizes, explaining he was
just having a nightmare. However, a
system notification pops up, warning him
of imminent danger. Confused, he wonders
why he's still getting alerts if he's no
longer in the game. The passenger
confronts him again, asking if he was
looking for trouble. Just then, a man in
a sharp suit approaches and barks at
Chenille to leave immediately. Not
understanding the situation, the young
man questions what's happening while the
passenger tells him to stop playing
dumb. Suddenly, Chenelov vanishes right
before the man's astonished eyes.
Stunned, the passenger wonders if he
truly just disappeared. [music] Soon
after, other men in suits approach and
ask if he'd seen a student. Trying to
explain, the man says the kid just
vanished into thin air. The group leader
simply stares at him, silent and
unmoving. Abruptly, Chen Jilay wakes up
somewhere else. He bolts upright in bed,
gasping for air. Looking around, he
questions if he's back in Latiana, if it
was all just a dream. He murmurs how
incredibly real it felt, wondering why
he heard his mother's voice at the very
end. A voice calls him, confirming he's
awake. Salah enters the room, a tray
laden with food in her hands. Chenjulu
asks if everyone is okay, and she
replies yes, explaining that UB had gone
to help with the city's reconstruction.
[music]
To his shock, the young man learns he'd
been asleep for 10 whole days, solidly
confirming everyone had been incredibly
worried about him. Before leaving, she
says she needs to help others and asks
Chenille to find them in the city. once
he's finished eating. She also mentions
that the residents are preparing a thank
you feast, and as their hero, he'll get
to give a speech. Still bewildered, the
protagonist questions what speech she's
even talking about. Already at the door,
Saly reminds him not to forget the new
clothes they'd prepared for him. Alone
in the room, Chenile remembers Yeruka,
still trapped in interdimensional space.
Believing the small creature must have
recovered by now, he accesses the system
interface. However, a notification
flashes. Operation failed. Intrigued,
Chenile wonders why Yuruka hasn't
recovered even after 10 days. Then the
system alerts him to a new unread
message. Noticing the blinking icon,
Chenile wonders what kind of message
this could possibly be. The screen then
congratulated him on completing the
prologue and announced that all system
functions were unlocked. Faced with
this, the young man wondered if the
so-called hellish difficulty was why he
still couldn't leave the game. Without
[music] wasting time, he decided to
check the weapon forging function first.
The system displayed the basic forging
functions, including item creation,
enhancement, and destruction. [music]
Another window popped up detailing the
function for creating tonics, and
recovery items. Reflecting, [music]
Chenile thought that everything truly
felt more like a game now, and the
compendium must be for researching
creatures he'd already encountered. The
interface explained that with the
illustrated compendium function
activated, all information about
discovered creatures and objects would
now be recorded. As he scanned the list,
he noticed that both Yuruka and the
Predator still appeared as unknown,
indicating he needed to level up to
identify them. A new screen presented
the map detection function, capable of
alerting him to nearby monsters, and the
titles function, which granted bonuses
upon completing certain events. The
system also detailed the teleportation
portal function, allowing him to
construct up to three portals in
different districts. Next, [music] his
attention turned to the development
function for the chaotic god slayer. At
that moment, the system asked if he
wished to use the divine essence to
unlock 1% of his total [music] power.
Thinking about the future, Chenile
realized he'd need to go to the temple
to face the divine beast and concluded
that unleashing as much power as
possible was the best path. With that in
mind, he decided to use the essence.
Sitting on the bed, he began to absorb
the new energy. The protagonist felt the
power surge through his body like an
intense tide, even if it was only a
small increase. Soon after, he
remembered the items he'd received and
began checking the elemental rings and
the frost armor. The armor immediately
materialized onto his body. Finally, his
attention turned to the key that
appeared floating before him. Recalling
that the last time he used a key to open
a treasure chest, Yuruka [music] had
appeared. Chenille wondered what would
emerge this time. Bros informed UB that
all the injured had been tended to and
the border barrier was fully repaired.
Satisfied, UB congratulated him on the
work and asked about the banquet
preparations, receiving the reply that
everything should be almost ready.
Furthermore, Bros reported that
guardians Hicks and Lusious were under
Bob's surveillance, but Sulkia had
managed to escape [music] the city.
Hearing this, Ubé questioned Sulkia's
escape, deeming the situation
suspicious. Bros commented that being
alone, he probably wouldn't survive for
long. Even so, Uber sensed that
individual was hiding something far more
powerful than Dolapo. Faced [music] with
the assertion, Braz looked visibly
confused. Back in his room, Chenule
observed the key in his hands and
wondered if it was the dungeon quest key
as the system began to recite a
prophecy. The system then explained that
using the key would activate the quest,
but if he died, his physical body would
be destroyed. Reflecting on the warning,
the young man realized that dying in the
game would mean real death. He
remembered when he was killed by the
Latoyamaana wanderer, noting that on
that occasion there was no mention of a
link between the character and his
physical body. This led him to question
if only his consciousness was trapped
there and why his body had appeared on
the train. Confused, Chenera wondered
what the hell was going on and if it had
all just been a dream. Suddenly, a voice
called out to him asking if he was all
right. Startled, the young man turned
and the mysterious man explained that
this was just his illusory form. The
guide then revealed that his exit from
Latayana wasn't a dream, though he
didn't know why Chenille had returned.
Faced with this, the young man
questioned if he had truly left the game
at that moment. In response, the man
confirmed that he had also seen
everything Chenille witnessed outside.
Chenille explained that a bald man had
been chasing him and asked about his
mother's voice telling him to leave.
However, [music] the guide claimed he
hadn't heard any voice and said he'd
never encountered a teleportation power
like that. After reflecting, Chenille
concluded there were only two
possibilities for what had happened.
[music] The first was that his
consciousness had never left the game,
merely being teleported to a map
resembling a train station. The second
was that he had truly returned to
reality, which would imply his physical
body had transmigrated into the game
from the very beginning. Realizing that
in both scenarios, the world he was in
was real, the young man began to wonder
if the bald man was the person Xiaomé
had mentioned. At that instant, he
realized his mother had been taken and
questioned why only he had been sent to
this place. The guide urged Chenille to
remain calm, even as the guide's own
irritation began to show.
Simultaneously, the system asked if he
wished to use the crimson key and began
a countdown. Taking a deep breath,
Chenille calmed himself, assuring the
man he was fine. But then, he seized the
moment to ask if the man had ever killed
a god and if he could defeat the
strongest being in this world. The guide
apologized, explaining his mind was
blank, but he supposeded he must have
killed a god to be trapped here. He
added that all gods feared chaotic
elemental power, and he believed that
one day Chenile would have the chance to
slay the strongest among them. The
protagonist understood the guide was
right, realizing the only thing he
needed to do now was keep getting
stronger. With that, the guide warned
him. Once his gods slaying power
activated, he needed to prepare because
trouble [music] would soon come for him.
Dawning his coat, Chenilo assured him
there was no need to worry, declaring he
wouldn't die here. With unwavering
conviction, he vowed to unravel every
mystery one by one and begin leveling up
right after that night's feast. In the
city, preparations for the night's feast
were already complete, centered around a
massive bonfire. As he grilled the food,
Rashidler told Salai he'd already said
10 times that everything was ready, and
now they just awaited Chenille's
arrival. Saly replied, but Ubé warned
him not to show irritation with her,
prompting Rashidler to apologize
immediately. Braz commented to UB that
he'd never felt so at ease, admitting
that if Chenilo hadn't defeated Doppo,
he couldn't even imagine what state
they'd be in. [music] Still, he claimed
he'd always had faith in victory, having
witnessed with his own eyes the moment
the young man slew the beast king. Just
then, Ubé revealed that Dolapo's power
came from Hades, causing Bros to lose
his balance and tumble backward.
Startled, [music] Bros. asked, "Are you
talking about Hades, the god of the
underworld?" Calmly, Ubé simply
questioned why he'd fallen. At that
moment, [music] Chenjulo arrived and
asked, "Bro, did UB say something that
scared you?" Salely greeted him joyfully
while Rachidler was visibly moved to see
him finally awake. UB bowed before
Chenle and announced, "Since our hero is
here, the celebration can begin." Then
he turned to the city and began to cheer
his name loudly. The villagers joined
the chorus, raising torches and shouting
in unison, "Hero." Saly called for
silence from the crowd, who continued to
cheer for their hero. With a calm
gesture, she invited Chen Gilele, the
city's savior, to say a few words.
Beside him, Ubra urged him forward,
reminding him that everyone was waiting,
even as the young man showed some
hesitation. Noticing his nervousness,
Ubra asked, "Are you apprehensive about
speaking in front of so many people?"
Chenile replied, "No." explaining that
he didn't feel like a true hero.
Everyone who fought to protect this city
deserves that title, too. He added that
he never would have defeated Dalo
without everyone's help, and for that
reason, he couldn't face these people if
he took all the credit alone. Uber then
placed a hand on the young man's
shoulder and told him not to worry,
stating that everyone there knew they'd
be dead if it weren't for him. He added
that the people needed a true hero,
someone capable of offering new hope to
the survivors, and Chenile was the only
one truly worthy of that title. B Ross
and Rashidler also encouraged him,
assuring him he could do it. Ubé
reinforced the plea, urging him to lead
the people and rekindle the hope that
escaping this place wasn't impossible.
Chenji Le simply nodded. Then he walked
toward [music] the stage where Saly
awaited him. As he advanced, he realized
UB was right. The people needed someone
to lead them out of this darkness.
Determined, [music] he understood that
to embrace the title of hero, he had to
protect those who needed him. In that
moment, he reflected that the feeling of
being needed by others wasn't so bad
after all. The crowd below continued to
cheer and celebrate their hero. Before
everyone, he introduced himself as
[music] Cheng Lei and thank them for
their trust. With unwavering resolve, he
promised to keep everyone safe and lead
them out of Latana. Meanwhile, on a
desolate beach, Argolas told Ceil to
wait there, assuring him he'd be back
soon. Alone in that barren place, he
grumbled that even after centuries, the
weather remained awful. Deciding to act,
he resolved to observe Fenire's
territory. Then he transformed into a
dragon to verify if that fool had truly
been slain. Later that night, Chenila
sat alone drinking water from his
canteen. Bros and Boon approached. Bros
immediately praised his excellent
speech, admitting he'd never have the
guts to speak in front of so many
people. Boan, however, quipped that
Chenile was just too [music] thick
skinned to feel stage fright. A moment
later, Feloka joined them, asking about
UB and Salili. Before the conversation
could go further, Chenille cut in,
explaining that Sali had taken Ubé home.
Bros then asked when they'd head to the
temple. Chenji Lo replied that first he
planned to power up his skills to defeat
the divine guardian beast. Hearing this,
Boon echoed, "Divine guardian beast?" He
questioned what exactly that meant. Boon
then explained to Filoka that compared
to the other guardians, Dolopo was just
a lowranking servant. Chenula concluded
that they all needed to become far, far
stronger than they currently were. After
their talk, Chenila said his goodbyes,
announcing he'd [music] get some rest
and advising the other two to hit the
hay soon, too. Bros watched the young
man walk away, wondering why he always
seemed so mysterious. Later, alone in a
forest clearing, Chenille prepared to
train. Checking his status screen, he
saw that after defeating Dopo, he had 65
attribute points available to
distribute. The system interface
explained that boosting his intelligence
attribute would reduce skill cooldown
times. With that in mind, he decided to
spread the points across intelligence,
strength, and agility. Next, Chenilo
realized he still didn't have a proper
weapon and would need to unlock the shop
to get one. Concluding that even the
worst weapon was better than fighting
bare-handed. He made a decision. The
system consumed 30 of his levels and
finally unlocked the weapon [music]
shop. Scanning the available options,
Chenile spotted a golden weapon. Flashy
as it was, it couldn't compare to Ozul.
Still, his choice fell on the Corsair's
magic sword, whose MP recovery effect
would be incredibly useful. After
equipping his new sword, the young man
declared that the next step was to face
the mission. Just [music] then, the
system asked if he wanted to use the
Crimson Key, and Chenille confirmed.
Ahead, a portal ripped open as the
system [music] announced the mission
would begin in 5 seconds. The countdown
started, accompanied by a notification
recommending an equipment check. With
his new sword already in hand, Chenile
waited as the count continued. As soon
as time ran out, he walked towards the
portal. The next instant, the countdown
hit zero, and Chenille found himself
transported to a new location, bathed in
the light of a massive moon. In the
distance, his eyes caught sight of a
solitary figure standing in the center
of a lake. A system notification alerted
Chenulo to his successful entry into the
crimson realm. He began to trek across
the desolate landscape. Then the system
announced the start of the mission, the
endless massacre of Bastet. Hearing the
name, the young man wondered why Bastet
sounded so familiar to him. The mission
screen displayed the objectives and
rewards, which immediately grabbed his
attention with their generosity.
Scanning his surroundings, Chenula
realized he needed to find Bastet before
the moonset, but he had no idea which
way to go. Looking up at the sky, he
noticed a complete lack of landmarks
that could guide him. He concluded that
if he acted without thinking, he might
not find his target in time. Suddenly,
the phrase before the moon sets echoed
in his mind again. In that instant, he
understood it wasn't just a time limit,
but also a clue to the enemy's location.
Turning, Chenille fixed his gaze on a
column of smoke rising in the distance.
Intrigued, he wondered what could be
happening there. Amidst the mist, a
massive beastial creature slowly
emerged. The system then identified
other presences, bastards, undead
beasts, all level 60. Four of these
creatures charged directly towards him.
surrounded. Cheng Xi Lo confirmed the
enemy's nature. One of them lunged to
attack and he mused that in the past
dealing with such adversaries would have
been incredibly difficult. With [music]
a single sword strike, he hit the
creature in front and in the same swift
motion cut down several of the
surrounding beasts. Facing the remaining
enemies, he realized they were now
nothing more than free experience.
Elsewhere, Argolus found Fenire's
remains and lamented that he had allowed
himself to be killed. In his assessment,
despite not possessing the power of a
god, Fenire was not someone easily
eliminated. Suddenly, Argolus caught the
scent of bugs nearby. Recognizing the
familiar stench, he wondered if that guy
was around, but he quickly dismissed the
thought, convinced that guy had to be
dead. His gaze then swept across the
numerous bodies scattered on the ground.
The site made Argolas question if that
guy had truly died or if he'd simply
joined the swarm of bugs. Back in Delk
City, Uber sat in his office writing in
his diary. [music] He noted that sealing
the evil god was just the beginning.
Hessoid's appearance had sparked the
god's distrust of humanity. [music]
Consulting the book of prophecies, Ubé
read that a god killer would rise from
humanity to restore world order. The
record stated that the gods as creators
began eliminating humans when they felt
threatened, pushing humanity into
rebellion. In his view, the god killer
would emerge as humanity's leader in
their fight against the gods themselves.
With this in mind, Ubri understood that
Chenile was without a doubt the
godkiller mentioned in the prophecies.
Finally, he wondered if the world's fate
truly hinged on a war between humans and
gods. Suddenly, Ubé felt an unsettling
presence. [music] Without hesitation, he
rushed to the window and saw the city's
barrier under attack. From the sky, a
massive projectile hurdled towards
[music] the city. In the next instant,
the city was struck by a colossal
explosion. As successive detonations
ravaged the area, Argolus floated above
the ruined city. Amidst [music] the
destruction, he watched with contempt,
calling the inhabitants miserable bugs.
In response, UB materialized in the sky,
ready to confront him. Recognizing
[music] him, the elder glared with
palpable fury. Rage consumed Ura as he
accused him of being the bastard
responsible for the deaths of Morse and
Luna. Coldly, Argolus questioned if he
was the guardian of this place, then
demanded to know the whereabouts of
Fenir's killer, promising a painless
death in [music] return. Amidst a
devastated battlefield, Chenule braced
himself for the coming clash. Without
hesitation, he activated a new skill.
Then, harnessing divine speed, charged
directly at one of the monsters. Carus'
mythical mana sword incinerated the
enemy units, draining [music] 300 HP
from each. After slaying three undead
beasts from Berser's quest, the young
man gained 30,000 experience points.
Analyzing the effect, he realized that
if the passive skill stacked with his
new ability, mana consumption was
completely nullified. Next, [music] Chen
Gilelay leaped into another group of
enemies. Determined to test his new
power, he didn't hesitate, instantly
unleashing the divine extinction fold.
Confirmation came swiftly. MP spent on
skills could be fully replenished.
Without worrying about mana consumption,
battling monsters became far more
efficient. Numerous notifications popped
up, confirming the elimination of yet
another of Berser's undead beasts.
[music] Soon after, all enemy units were
defeated. Chenile then opened his
experience window, understanding why he
hadn't leveled up yet. Doing the math,
he concluded that at this rate, the
quest granted experience, but not enough
to advance quickly. A new notification
drew his attention to his weapon's
durability, revealing it was wearing
down far too fast. Even with current
efficiency, this combat method still
didn't completely prevent equipment wear
and tear. He wondered if leveling up
would grant him access to more powerful
professional skills. Suddenly, a
familiar voice called out, "Daddy!"
Surprised, Chenilo asked if Yuruka had
finally woken up. Relieved, he asked the
little creature to wait, promising to
get her out of there immediately. Yuruka
hugged him tightly, prompting him to ask
her not to squeeze so hard. In a calm
tone, Chenula reassured the little one,
telling her he'd killed the bad man and
they were safe now. Seizing the moment,
he thanked Yuruka for saving his life
and Grandpa Ubres. Filled with joy, the
little creature began to fly around
excitedly, perched on his shoulder,
Yuruka asked where they were. Chenilo
explained they were still on a quest and
needed to find and defeat the boss
before they could leave. He then asked
Yuruka to stay close and not wander off.
Together, [music] the two set off
running under the moonlight. The scene
then cuts to a rainy city s outside a
hospital. Inside the building,
paramedics rush down a corridor,
shouting for people to clear the way.
The medical team races, pushing a
gurnie, warning of the [music] patients
critically weak heartbeat as they
prepare an adrenaline shot. In the
operating room, professionals try to
revive him one last time, preparing to
use the defibrillator again. With the
electric shock, the patients body arches
sharply. However, [music] the heart
monitor flatlines, showing no signs of
life. A TV report announced it was the
3,000th death by cardiac arrest that
month. On screen, a man explained to
Minister Sue that most victims were men
in their 20s with no prior illnesses and
an unknown cause of death. The minister
asked if the victims had anything in
common. In response, the man revealed
that the investigation discovered they
all played a game called Cosmos. He
argued it was no mere coincidence, and
Minister [music] Sue affirmed there was
another factor tied to the game. He then
revealed that the previous month a woman
had reported her son Chen Jillo missing
while playing Cosmos. The following
week, however, a video of a teenager
appearing and disappearing in the subway
went viral. Facial recognition
identified the boy as Chen Jillo. A
colleague then asked Minister Sue about
their next move. Without hesitation, she
ordered the video deleted. Public
opinion controlled and immediate contact
with the game's developer to track the
investigation. Afterward, the minister
began analyzing Chenila's file. High
above the city, Argolas scoffed, asking
the elder if he was stupid. In response,
UB lunged forward at high speed,
unleashing a full force punch. Yet,
Argolas effortlessly blocked the blow
with just one hand. He then countered
with a punch of his own, sending UB
hurtling backward. Before he hit the
ground, Boon quickly appeared to catch
him. Concerned, he asked the elder if he
was all right. UB ordered him away,
warning that he was no match for this
enemy. Bob, however, declared he wasn't
alone. And at that instant, Lucius and
Hicks appeared beside him. Changerle
pressed on towards the moon, realizing
that the closer he got, the more undead
swarmed around him. With each step,
[music] he noticed the creature's levels
were far higher than any he'd faced
before. Considering his weapon's
durability, he realized he could only
rely on normal attacks to target the
beast's weak points. A grim realization
struck him. At this rate, he might not
have enough time to reach the boss.
Still, Chenile charged into a group of
creatures. Two monsters flanked him,
ready to strike. Just then, Yuruka
suddenly appeared, leaping to his
defense. Without hesitation, the tiny
creature unleashed its power against the
foes. Aruck, Chenile praised Yuruka,
calling him incredible. Determined not
to waste another second, the young man
knew he had to hurry and eliminate the
beasts swiftly. Meanwhile, in the
burning city, civilians watch figures
battling in the sky. One man, terrified,
asks if they're being attacked by
monsters again, while another voices his
fear aloud. High above, Argolas turns to
Ubé and Boan, declaring he won't waste
any more time. Impatiently, he demands
to know where the other man is, warning
that his patience has limits. Boan
raises his sword and declares the
village is under their protection,
advising the invader to leave. In a
flash, Argolas appears before Bob. His
absurd speed makes Lucius and Hicks
react with surprise. With contempt,
[music] Argolas calls Bob a reckless
worm. He raises his hand, preparing an
attack. Boan braces himself, ready to
take the hit. Before the blow lands, Ubé
steps forward, making Bob scream his
name. Without flinching, Ubé insists
he's fine, and orders to get Lucius and
Hicks away from there. Confused, Boon
asks, "Who is that entity?" Ubé corrects
him, explaining, "That's not a person.
It's a god." He reveals the enemy is
Argaliss, the god of the underworld and
Hades direct subordinate, a name that
sounds dangerously familiar to him. Then
the old man confesses that Argolas was
the one who killed Lily's parents,
leaving Boban in shock. Ubé warns that
their elemental power is useless against
this god and states he will stop him so
the others can escape. With a cruel
smile, Argolas says, "It's already too
late. I never let my prey survive once
I've smelled fresh blood." Lucius and
Hicks position themselves to fight, and
Lucius calls out to UB. She declares,
"We're not going anywhere." While Hicks
adds, the killer of Lily's parents can
never be forgiven. Bob suggests, "If we
attack together, maybe we stand a chance
against him." After a brief silence,
Uber agrees, deciding, "Then in this
moment, we give it our all." Determined,
the four charge forward together to
attack Argolas. Faced with their
assault, the god merely deems it utter
foolishness. With disdain, Argolas
declares, "You are all doomed."
Immediately after, his body begins to
transform. In moments, Argolas takes the
form of an immense dragon. Far from
there, Chenila levels up and tells
Yuruka they'll take a quick break. With
a tired sigh, he laments that after
killing so many beasts and expending so
much energy, he only gained a single
level. Furthermore, Chenile notices his
weapon is wearing down much faster than
he anticipated. After assessing the
situation, he realized his current stats
made him a beast in one-on-one fights,
but utterly useless against hordes of
monsters. This hit him hard, reminding
him of his skill choices. Back then, he
could only pick two out of three, and
he'd gone allin on raw power. But now,
he understood. [music] The light skill,
even with its fixed damage, was far
gentler on his weapons and drained less
stamina. Regret nawed at him. He wished
he'd picked a different class, and the
question burned. Why only two skills?
Why not all three? Just then, a system
notification flashed. His hidden level
had hit 100. Chenille's eyes widened.
Defeat basted, and a new skill would
unlock. He made up his mind. They had to
pick up the pace, get new gear the
moment this mission was over, he turned
to Yuruka. Rested enough? He asked, then
gestured for him to move out. Suddenly,
a deafening roar ripped through the
battlefield. Chenile's gaze shot up. "Is
that Bastet?" he wondered aloud. The
creature lumbered forward, unleashing
another even more menacing roar. Slowly,
Bastet's colossal form fully revealed
itself. A system notification flashed,
confirming the enemy. Bastet, level 1 to
20. Chenula scoffed, a hint of irony in
his voice. So, in the end, it's just a
giant cat. Then, his tone turned
serious. He warned Yuruka to be careful.
"If I die, you're gone, too," he stated
grimly. With a firm, determined gaze,
Chenille took his battle stance. Without
a moment's hesitation, he declared,
"Time to fight." Meanwhile, in City B, a
news report blared, warning of a sudden
surge in inexplicable deaths worldwide.
Rumors were swirling, connecting the
cases to a game called Cosmos. Amidst
growing protests, a TV reporter
announced that citizens across multiple
nations were demanding answers from
their governments. She reported that
country Z's government had called an
emergency meeting of heads of state
[music] to address the deaths, and an
official statement was expected soon.
Suddenly, a protester collapsed right
behind her, triggering desperate shouts
for an ambulance. Maintaining her
professional composure, the reporter
stated that correspondent Lu Yao Yao
would continue to cover the unfolding
events. In a tense meeting room, an
official reported the autopsy results.
No signs of poisoning, no viral
infections in any of the victims. Then
medical expert Dr. Lee Newman stepped
forward. The cause of death wasn't
cardiac arrest, he explained, but
something far more complex. He revealed
that the bodies showed visible wounds in
internal organs or brain tissue
consistent with blunt force trauma. The
doctor suspected a cruel form of murder,
one that exploited the very illusions
the human brain is capable of producing.
The other attendees listened in stunned
silence. He then brought up his
involvement in a research project where
they taught brain tissue to play
pingpong, discovering it learned faster
than any artificial intelligence. Dr.
Lee Yuman asserted that while these
might seem like disconnected topics, his
research and the current events were all
pointing in the same terrifying
direction. He concluded with a chilling
thought. We live in a world where
there's only a one in a billion chance
that anything is truly real. Back on the
battlefield, Bastet lunges at Chenille
with its massive paw. The creature then
charges, raising its claws for another
strike. Chenila swiftly dodges a
devastating blow. The next instant,
Yuruka appears, enveloped in a barrier,
successfully blocking the attack and
containing the impact. Faced with this,
Chenile recognizes the monster's
impressive strength. He realizes that
bosses of this caliber are as powerful
as the Beast King or Doppo, and a direct
hit would mean instant defeat. He cannot
afford to underestimate it. Unfamiliar
with the enemy's abilities, the young
man understands he needs to conserve his
strength and analyze its attack patterns
before taking any risks. With this goal
in mind, he activates his ax of god
ability, moving at high speed. As he
approaches the giant monster, he notices
Bastet remains motionless. Intrigued,
Chenille wonders why the creature isn't
reacting or trying to attack him.
Nevertheless, he decides to charge
forward and strike Bastet directly,
questioning as he attacks if the monster
is simply allowing the assault. In
response, Bastet summons several
spectral beings around itself. The
spirits rapidly advance towards Chenile.
Sensing an opening, the young man
decides this is the perfect moment to
act. Without hesitation, he unleashes
his gods of destruction ability. The
attack strikes one of the spirits
headon. Using divine decimation,
Chenille tests the ability's power while
directing the blow at Bastet. The impact
hits the monster, causing visible
damage. In response, Bastet charges to
counterattack. The monster's reaction
catches him by surprise. Thrown back by
the impact, Chenille loses his balance,
and Yuruka tumbles with him. Without
relenting, Bastet begins preparing a
massive energy attack. The projectile is
launched, striking the ground with
devastating force. Gasping, [music]
Chenila gets up, carefully holding
Yuruka. around them. He observes that
the spirits are still surrounding both
of them. At that moment, the great beast
announces the seal of the undead.
Understanding dawn's quickly. The
situation is extremely unfavorable. With
no other choice, Chenula hurls Yuruka
directly towards the seal. The small
creature collides with the mark,
triggering a violent explosion. The
shock wave hits Chenilo headon, kneeling
on the ground and coughing. He hears
Yuruka call out to him. Then he realizes
that explosion wasn't just an attack,
but a dead-end trap, like a lock
snapping shut. A system notification
explains that the mark's explosion
converts into blocked damage when hit
directly. With this, Chenila understands
Bastet's strategy. Approach, mark the
enemy, and use the explosion to finish
them off. Faced with this revelation, he
wonders what his next move should be.
Chenilo charged against the summoned
spirits. With a swift spin, he struck
the enemies surrounding him. At the same
time, he noticed the movement speed of
the undead beasts had begun to increase.
Faced with this, he warned Yuruka to be
careful as the creatures were getting
faster and faster. Without warning,
Bastet lunged straight at him for a
direct attack. His weapon barely managed
to block the blow. Next, he raised a
barrier to shield himself from the
creature's assault. Seizing an opening,
he unleashed divine destruction directly
into the monster's eye. The impact
forced Bastet back, but the attack kept
dealing continuous damage. Without
missing a beat, Chenile charged forward
and landed another strike. A violent
explosion blasted them both away from
each other. Regaining his footing,
Chenzul called out to Yuruka, asking if
he was all right. Quickly assessing the
situation, he realized his only option
was to rely on Yuruka's shield for both
offense and defense, even if it drained
the last of the little creature's
strength. What's more, the beast's
insane speed made any mistake fatal.
Failing an ability meant a long
cooldown. Yeruka was already showing
clear signs of exhaustion, making it
obvious this strategy wouldn't be
enough. As if that wasn't enough,
Chenulele also had to deal with the
constant attacks from the surrounding
undead beasts. With so many variables,
he concluded [music] that in this state,
there was no clear way to win. Just
then, a memory surfaced. A long range
attack skill his uncle had used during
training. Looking up, he stared at the
creatures Bast had summoned. He called
out to his uncle, asking aloud, "Are you
here? Is there any way to defeat this
enemy?" Dodging attacks, he kept
calling, trying to make contact. Slowly,
Chenile realized that ever since the
mission began, his uncle couldn't
communicate with him anymore, unlike
before. With the mission timer ticking
down, he understood that failure meant
losing 10 million experience points and
a legendary weapon. In that instant,
[music] Bastet lunged forward again for
a frontal assault. Cheng Lelay blocked
the blow with his weapon, creating a
brutal impact. He then reflected that if
he couldn't even complete this mission,
he'd never be ready to face the guardian
of Nabuda's temple. Refusing to give up,
the young man believed there had to be a
way to defeat Bastet. The massive
creature prepared to strike once more.
At that moment, Chenile noticed Bastet's
speed had increased again. The attack
hit him with overwhelming force, pinning
him to the ground. Even under pressure,
he struggled to resist. With a desperate
surge, he managed to push one of the
spirits away. The entity slammed into
the ground, triggering an explosion. The
impact forced Bastet to recoil for a
brief moment. A system notification
flashed, warning that his HP had dropped
below 10% and he needed to recover
immediately. Cheng Lelay knew that with
the boss even faster and his life
critical, a single additional blow would
be fatal. Facing this, he concluded
there was only one option left. His last
resort was to activate the element of
chaos and rely on Yuruka's shield for a
final desperate push. Suddenly, a new
idea sparked in his mind. Chenille
realized he'd always followed the
systems instructions for his elemental
powers, never daring to experiment. Then
he remembered his uncle's blade, a
weapon capable of channeling all
elemental power into a single
devastating strike. This made him
wonder, could he channel all his
elemental power into his weapon for the
same explosive effect? Determined to
risk it all, he decided to test this
wild theory. Focusing with all his
might, he began to gather every ounce of
available energy. As he did, Chenili
realized this was exactly how that
legendary skill functioned. Then he
unleashed an incredibly powerful energy
attack. The strike channeled through his
sword hit with pinpoint precision. A
system notification flashed. A new
divine skill learned. Moon of Chaos.
Immediately, the system window displayed
all the details of his newly acquired
power. With this confirmation, Chenulele
knew he finally had the power to defeat
the boss. In response to this new power,
Bastet let out a furious roar. Without
backing down, the creature unleashed its
own devastating attack. Channeling
everything he had left, Chenula focused
his power into his weapon once more.
With a single decisive movement, he
struck Bastet, creating a massive
impact. Chenzula stood utterly
exhausted. He struggled to move, the
skill having drained him completely.
Looking down at his defeated enemy, he
declared, "I won." A system notification
confirmed. Bastet [music] successfully
annihilated. A second message announced
the completion of the Crimson Moon
quest, but Chenille suddenly yelled,
"Yaruka, watch out." Confused, he stared
at the pillar of light descending from
the sky. The next instant, [music] the
luminous column completely enveloped
him. Notifications for level ups and
experience gains exploded around him. As
he watched, Chenila felt his wounds heal
and realized a third skill had unlocked
upon reaching level 100. The description
of his new skill, God annihilator,
appeared in vivid detail before him.
Reflecting, he noted the skill was
eerily similar to Bastad's. He knew he'd
need to redistribute his status points
for the next challenge right after the
battle's spoils appeared before him. A
key, a chest, and an essence. For a
moment, Cheni Lelay was stunned. He'd
gotten a god essence from defeating
Bastet. Holding the key, he deduced it
must be for unlocking a dungeon, just
like the crimson key. But as he faced
the chest, he joked that he was
developing a psychological trauma and
called out to Yuruka. A notification
popped up congratulating him on getting
a legendary piece of equipment. As the
chest slowly opened, laughing at
himself, Chenille told Yuruka he was
just kidding and wondered what kind of
legendary weapon or gear he'd find
inside. A set of clothes and accessories
floated out of the chest. The system
informed him the coat increased his
chances of getting magic equipment by
20%. The description detailed the
bonuses and history of the item. Song of
Latana, god of underworld spirits.
Satisfied, Chenille remarked that as
expected of a legendary item, he could
now distribute his stats with much more
confidence. As he examined the
accessories, he wondered how he was
supposed to equip them since his ears
weren't pierced. Without much thought,
he just hit the equip button, and the
item automatically fixed itself to his
ear. The new set of gear materialized
onto his body. A system message warned
that the quest dungeon would close soon,
and the teleportation portal was already
open. Calling out to Yuruka, Chenilo
said they needed to head back and go to
the temple together. He stepped through
the portal which closed right behind
them. Appearing on the other side,
Chenille commented that he was finally
back, but found it strange that it was
still night. Wondering if time had
stopped inside the dungeon. His
expression abruptly shifted as he
realized what lay before him. Before his
eyes, he stood on a cliff, gazing at a
city utterly destroyed. The scene then
shifted to a dark alley in city 8.
There, a man asked his companion Lee
about a game called Cosmos where players
supposedly died. Lee just laughed,
dismissing it as a senseless joke. One
of the men commented that young people
got too caught up in the game and forgot
to take care of their health. Proudly,
he boasted about his physical strength,
claiming even girls thought he was just
over 20. His friend, on the other hand,
confessed he was scared to play, but Lee
hurried him along, saying the ladies
were still waiting for them. Suddenly, a
pillar of light descended from the
heavens right in the middle of the
alley. The two men immediately turned to
watch. Intrigued, Lee questioned the
source of the brightness, assuming it
was some illegal organization's meeting.
A column of energy began to form before
them. Both looked up and a monstrous
creature emerged from the light.
Startled, Lee asked what it was, while
his friend identified the creature as a
boss monster from the game Cosmos. Just
then, a hooded figure appeared, watching
the scene from a distance. Without a
moment's hesitation, the figure charged,
striking the monster with sharp blades.
Moments later, it stood victorious over
the defeated creature. Meanwhile,
elsewhere, Chenila found himself alone
amidst a ruined city. He wondered what
had happened to the place while he was
gone. Soon after, he began to consider
if time flowed differently between the
dungeon and Latoyana. Suddenly, the
mysterious man appeared, remarking that
the young man had finally returned.
Chenula asked, "Where did you go?" But
the man countered with another question,
asking if he could truly be pulled from
his own consciousness. The statement
left the young hero utterly bewildered.
Just then, a projectile tore through the
ruined landscape. Instinctively, Chenule
summoned his sword to defend himself.
Before him, Boon appeared, brandishing
his own blade. With raw fury etched on
his face, he roared Chenilo<unk>'s name.
Stunned, Chenilo demanded, "What are you
doing here? Where are UB and the
others?" Boon screamed back, "How dare
you even mention Grandpa Ure? You're
responsible for everything that
happened." Chenula stared him down, his
voice low and dangerous. What exactly
did you just say? A small cabin stood
out amidst the destroyed city. Chenjula
pushed aside the curtain and stepped
inside. There he found Ubé lying on a
bed surrounded by Salie and the others.
The elder was unconscious and [music] a
heavy silence hung in the air. One of
his arms wasated wrapped tightly in
bandages. Shaken to his core, Chenula
knelt beside the bed, his voice
trembling as he asked why Grandpa Ubé
was in such a state. He then rose
demanding, "What happened? I was only
gone for one night." Sali and bros
averted their gaze, unable to meet his
eyes or speak. Refusing to accept their
silence, Chenule whirled on Rashidler,
his voice a raw roar. Tell me what the
hell happened. Rashidler's voice was
heavy as he explained. The boss had been
gone for 3 days. Everyone thought he'd
just vanished without a word. The
revelation stunned Chenille. He demanded
Rashidler repeat what he just said. Just
then, Boon stormed into the cabin,
ordering Chenille to stop pretending.
His voice accusatory. He declared the
young man had fled at the absolute worst
time. Boon raged on, claiming not just
Grandpa Ubé, but thousands in that city
had died because of him. Then he
snarled, "Who the hell is Chenilao? And
why did that god go to such lengths to
find him?" Chenjilo remained silent,
overwhelmed by the accusations. Far
away, Incidiate's public security
agency, the night seemed peaceful. A
female officer warned two men she'd
arrest them if they kept spouting
nonsense. Yet, they justiculated wildly
in the hallway, insisting they were
serious. not lying. When her partner
asked what was going on, she explained
the two were causing a ruckus, babbling
about monsters. Desperate, the men
yelled, "We really saw a monster and a
woman who could fly. She killed it with
a sword." Annoyed, the officer ordered
them to leave or face arrest for
disturbing the piece. While the two
pleaded to tell their full story in the
background, an officer was on the phone,
one of the men still trying to explain
the creature was gigantic. On the other
end, the voice on the phone expressed
shock at reports of unknown creatures.
He hung up abruptly, ordering everyone
to gather immediately for superior
instructions. His partner approached
asking, "What's going on?" He revealed
he'd just gotten a call from the
director. City B was in a state of
emergency. Multiple creatures attacking
civilians. Back in the ruined city, Boon
roared at Chenzila, demanding an answer.
Rage consumed him. He grabbed the young
man by the collar, snarling, "Why aren't
you saying a word? Do you think you'll
get away with this?" Bobin accused him
of knowing the enemy would come for him,
of deliberately hiding, calling him a
cowardly, scaredy cat. Desperate, he
screamed, "Do you accept the blame,
Chenile, or not?" In a flash, Chenille
intercepted Boon's punch before it could
land. Boon stared, utterly stunned,
unable to process what just happened.
With a controlled voice, Chenile
apologized, explaining he never intended
to leave, but admitted he took full
responsibility. Then, he declared he
would find and kill that enemy with his
own hands. Bros immediately cut in,
stating it was impossible. Their
opponent was far too powerful. At the
same time, he showed curiosity, asking
why that god was after Chenille. Without
hesitation, the young man revealed it
was because he possessed the power to
defeat gods. He then recalled his fight
against Dopo, explaining that the
guardian had sold his soul to Hades,
lord of the underworld. The mere mention
of Hades's name sent a visible shock
wave through Bobin, bros, and Saly.
[music] Continuing, Chenulo explained
that his chaotic elemental power could
stand against a god, and Hades must have
realized this the moment Doolo was
killed. Elsewhere, Argolas landed,
declaring this was exactly where he
needed to be. Before him, the temple
Lord Hades used to imprison gods rose
into view. As the structure emerged from
the sand, Argolas declared, "Everything
is ready." The colossal structure known
as the temple of Kabuli now utterly
dominated the landscape. Far away,
Chenulele looked up at the sky,
questioning if this was truly just a
game world. He pondered how everything
felt both absurdly real and strangely
unreal. Standing on the edge of a cliff,
he thought that while senses could
deceive, feelings didn't lie, and he
realized he couldn't forgive himself for
what had happened. Gripped by fierce
determination, he turned, resolved to
find the culprit, to avenge his
grandfather, Ubé, and all who had died
before moving forward. At that instant,
a new concern surfaced. Was there any
medicine in the shop capable of healing
UB's wounds or even restoring lost
limbs? A system notification flashed
before his eyes, displaying an item
called the guardian of Eskeipius, a
divine medicine capable of restoring a
shattered body. Clutching the item,
Chenilo declared without a moment's
hesitation that he would take it to his
grandfather Ubé immediately. Chenilo
remarked that even from a great
distance, he felt the city ground
tremble with the impact. Intrigued, he
wondered what could have caused such a
massive burst of energy in such a short
time. Just then, another notification
appeared before his eyes. The message
warned that the Kabuli temple had been
activated, and he realized the blast
originated there. Chenile concluded that
something monumental must be unfolding.
He then stated that only a god could
activate that temple. Inside the temple,
Argolas stroed down a long corridor,
remarking that he would have defied even
Zeus's command if Hades hadn't
personally asked him. As he advanced, he
recalled that Hades had sent him to
assess the seal's strength, but hadn't
mentioned the imprisoned gods within
that place. [music] Passing through an
ancient wall, Argolus noticed an
inscription carved into the stone.
Touching it, he surmised it bore the
name of a god even Lord Hades feared.
Halting before a massive sealed door, he
declared, "This must be exactly what I'm
looking for." Bracing himself to shatter
the seal, Argolus remembered Hades's
words. With a single movement, he
obliterated the barrier protecting the
door. Then he introduced himself to the
beast guarding the seal, Nabulus. From
the shadows of the newly opened chamber,
a creature began to slowly emerge. Far
away, Chenille wondered what a god would
be doing inside the cable temple. As he
pondered, he realized that once the gods
sensed his chaotic power, they would
hunt him down and the rest of the city
would be annihilated along with him.
Facing this possibility, Chenile asked
the mysterious man how the gods could
sense his presence and [music] what
could be done to prevent it. The guide
appeared and explained that whenever the
elemental power of chaos was used,
Chenille's body emitted an odor that
only gods could detect. He added that
this trail could only be erased by the
bearer's death. In a serious tone, the
man reminded him that all power demanded
a price. According to him, the only
alternative was to eliminate those who
wished to kill him. After hearing this,
Chenula concluded that if more gods
found him, he would need to go to the
temple and free all those imprisoned
there. The guide confirmed that this was
indeed the only way to protect his
friends. Back in the cabin, Chenula
admitted to himself that Boon was right
and he had brought disaster upon the
city. Silently, he sat beside the bed
where Ubé lay unconscious. The weight of
guilt crushed him, not only for his
grandfather's state, but for the
countless lives lost in the village
because of him. In a low voice, Chenille
apologized to the sleeping man. Just
then, Rachidler entered the room and
asked the chief when he had arrived.
Chenula replied that he had just
returned and Rashidler explained that
Sali had found some medicine and asked
him to bring it. Before leaving,
Rashidler asked the chief not to blame
Boan or Salie, reminding him that the
city's situation was hard on everyone.
Finally, Chenille handed over the
medicine for UB's wounds and asked them
to remember to administer it properly.
As he turned to leave, Rashidler asked
where he was going, but the answer was
brief. My grandfather will be in your
care. Outside, Chenile reflected that he
couldn't fix everything that had been
destroyed, but at least he could protect
what remained of the people and lead
them out of Latonaya. In his mind, he
apologized to everyone for leaving
without a word. Without wasting another
moment, he broke into a run, believing
that if he arrived fast enough, he might
still catch that enemy. Elsewhere,
citizens fled in sheer panic as
grotesque monsters burst forth from a
portal ripped open in the sky. Amidst
the chaos, a hooded woman stood
perfectly still in the street, unmoving
as people streamed past her. She braced
herself, ready to face the encroaching
threat. A colossal winged creature
slammed down violently before her. Over
her communicator, a voice reported that
this was the strongest beast they'd ever
encountered, and that [music] three
heroes were on route to assist her.
Without a moment's hesitation, she
ordered the others to be sent to City S,
declaring she would handle this
situation alone. The response from the
other end of the line was swift. More
than three similar level beasts were
near city S and needed to be contained.
The creature lunged to attack her. Faced
with this, [music] the woman realized
the two worlds were merging far faster
than she had anticipated.
Simultaneously, monsters erupted and
shattered cities across the globe. Even
humanity's most advanced weapons proved
useless against these creatures,
plunging the planet into an endless
crisis. Meanwhile, Cheni Lelay and his
guide tked through the desert, a
grueling journey stretching before them.
Tired, he grumbled that the trip would
take too long, commenting that
everything would be faster if he had a
dragon to ride. He then wondered where
he'd even find a dragon right now.
Almost as if in answer, Yuruka appeared
beside him. Remembering the small
creature could fly, Chenji Lelay
questioned why it didn't just carry him.
A moment later, he grinned, saying he
[music] was just kidding. His relaxed
expression vanished as he noticed
something in the distance. A giant,
gravely wounded monster lay sprawled in
the sand. Cautiously, Chenila
approached, his eyes fixed on the
massive creature stretched out on the
ground. Chenila instantly recognized the
fallen creature as Harakaru. A memory
flashed. It was the wanderer Dominator
who had killed him during his first
visit to Latoyama without the system
even issuing an alert. With a raspy
voice, the creature remarked that it
smelled something familiar, like a known
insect. In that instant, Chenille
understood that the system couldn't
detect beings of that level. Finally,
however, a notification popped up,
identifying the enemy as an elite
monster. With a sarcastic grin, he
greeted the [ __ ] stating they'd met
again. The wanderer dominator recognized
him as the bug it had killed before and
showed surprise at seeing him still
alive. In response, Chenile declared
that thanks to him, he not only
survived, but was now far better than
before. Furious, the creature prepared
to attack, snarling that it would have
to kill him once more. In a blur, the
creature lunged with incredible speed,
initiating a direct confrontation. The
monster, trying to contain the assault,
raised its defenses. Without hesitation,
Chenile landed a brutal direct punch to
its face. The impact kicked up a massive
cloud of sand in the desert. Seizing the
moment, Chenilo mocked, "Do you still
think I'm that same weakling who only
knew how to use a sword?" Bursting from
the sand debris, the wanderer Dominator
rose again. With unwavering resolve,
Chenilo declared that he was now someone
capable of killing even gods. His
presence shifted and Chenile announced
himself as a god killer. Suddenly,
something shot from the sand towards the
sky. Gritting its teeth, the creature
snarled, "You cursed bug!" as it invoked
its energy. Then, it materialized a
massive gleaming golden sythe, ready for
combat. Assuming its new form, the
monster threatened to shred him to
pieces just as a system notification
detailed its new ability. Chenjula
comments to his guide that this must be
the idiot's elemental power and they'll
need to act with caution. He remembers
how easily he'd been killed last time,
even with high stats. Now, however, he's
level 100, wielding the best weapon and
gear he's ever had. With this in mind,
he decides that if he still can't win,
he can forget any hope tied to the
temple. This battle is the ultimate test
to determine if he can escape this
place. The wandering dominator's attack
slams into the ground, unleashing a
violent explosion. Chenji Lay blocks the
Scythe's blade with his own sword. He
then dodges another strike and counters
swiftly. The next attack is also blocked
with precision. For an instant, the two
enter a stalemate, their strength,
clashing headon. With disdain, the
wandering dominator taunts him, saying,
"Chenulo is still as slow as ever."
Faced with the provocation, Chenilo
takes his stance and announces his next
move, a sacred slash. The creature
stares at him, surprised, realizing
what's about to happen. Multiple damage
notifications erupt around the monster
as the attack hits. The force of the
blow sends the wandering dominator
flying back, accompanied by a powerful
shock wave. Wounded, the wandering
dominator questions how this is
possible. At the same time, a system
message warns that Chenille's weapon
durability is plummeting. Realizing the
risk, Chenule understands he needs to
end this fight immediately. His
appearance shifts once more as he
prepares for the final blow. With a firm
voice, Chenille declares he will
extinguish his opponent. Faced with that
transformation, the wandering dominator
recognizes the face taking shape and
wonders what exactly stands before him.
Without hesitation, Chenille charges the
fallen monster. The blow descends with
full force, striking true. Feeling the
lack of resistance, Chenule wonders why
the enemy didn't try to dodge. Stretched
on the ground, the wandering dominator
murmurs, "This is impossible." With
difficulty, the wandering dominator
tries to say more. Gazing at the young
man before him, the monster asks, "Are
you my master?" Meanwhile, a cargo plane
soarses over the ocean. In a control
room, an operator reports the emergence
of unidentified creatures and the
subsequent mobilization of military
squads. Faced with this information,
Minister Su demands that Mr. Cang Wan
explain why monsters from Cosmos are
appearing in the real world. Calmly,
Jang Wan replies that the company is
just a game developer and the monsters
are nothing more than code. Jang Wusan,
CEO of Cosmos, adds that the minister
shouldn't question him about the
creature's appearance. The minister
formally introduced herself, then
slammed down a demand. Cosmos's
operations were to cease immediately for
investigation. Jang Wusan merely
snorted, calling her Chief Sue. He then
explained that the game servers were in
Europe and her country had no authority
to investigate them. With a dismissive
wave, Jang Wusan bid them farewell,
claiming other obligations called him
away. Finally, Jang Wuan dropped a
bombshell. These monsters weren't
figments of imagination. They were
inspired by ancient legends from across
the globe. Minister Sue's eyes narrowed.
"Ancient legends?" she pressed, her gaze
fixed on a tablet resting on the table.
A chilling thought echoed in her mind.
Was Jang Wuan implying these ancient
legends were real? Meanwhile, in another
location, three heroes stood grim-faced,
watching a swirling portal. From its
depths, three S-rank monsters clawed
their way out. Lie grimly reminded them,
"Last time, it took four heroes to take
down just one of these. Balang Dafu,
however, cut him off. Our goal isn't to
defeat them. It's to buy time until
reinforcements arrive. The three level
120 heroes, Bruce, Balang Dafu, and
Liang Kan, braced themselves, facing the
monstrous threat head-on. Balang Dafu's
face was grim. [music] Prepare for
battle, he commanded. Suddenly, a ripple
in the water caught their attention.
"Another one!" one hero yelled, his
voice laced with shock. Balang Defu's
mind raced. "What kind of territory lay
beyond that portal, spewing out such
horrors?" Just then, a colossal dragon
ripped its way out of the portal. "Is
that an SS rank?" one hero whispered,
dread creeping into his voice. "What
demons are you talking about?" Chenilo
demanded, utterly confused. "And who's
this master?" the fallen creature
rasped, recognizing the power he'd just
used. "That's my master's power." Then
it lunged at the young man with blinding
[music] speed. Even wounded, the
creature staggered back to its feet, a
guttural whisper escaping its lips. Its
master's name. What do you mean master's
power? [music] Chenzi lay pressed his
guard up. What are you trying to do? The
creature stared, stunned. [music] How
could its master's power reside within a
mere insect like him? Just then, a
ghostly figure materialized behind
Chenile. Is that the master you keep
talking about? He asked, pointing. The
white-haired man simply shook his head.
I've lost all my memories, he replied,
his voice hollow. Even if I am this
master, I remember nothing. Shenzhu
watched in silence as the creature
slowly slunk away into the desert. Hey,
he yelled after it. Is your master a
middle-aged man with silver hair? The
creature paused, then snarled back. My
master isn't human. He is my supreme
god, Ra. The name hit Chenila like a
bolt, the chief of the Egyptian
pantheon. Suddenly, the creature kneels
before Chenile, declaring, "Since my
master's power now resides within your
body, you are my new master." A system
notification pops up revealing the
discovery of the deity Kipri's database,
the scarab god subordinate to Ra's soul.
As Keri pleads to be accepted, an option
appears. Make him a soul subordinate
mercenary. The creature then realizes
Cheng Lo is the protagonist of its
mission titled Keri's Vengeance.
Thinking fast, the young man considers
that having Keerri by his side would
significantly boost his chances against
the temple boss Nebulus. Without much
hesitation, he hits the accept button. A
system message confirms Keri accepted as
a soul subordinate. Next, another
notification explains that soul
subordinates consume no MP and can stay
in combat indefinitely. For a moment,
Chenille wonders if by gathering
[snorts] more allies like this, he
wouldn't have to fight personally
anymore. However, a new message warns
that each subordinate consumes 30% of
all experience gained, and their death
is permanent. Faced with this, [music]
he realizes losing such allies in battle
would mean an irreparable waste of
experience. Still, he concludes that
with Keer's help, his chances against
Nabulus are now far greater. A final
notification concludes the soul
subordinate initiation process as both
remain in the desert. Turning to the
creature, Chenile calls him by name,
Keri. Then he orders him, "Tell me
everything you know." The scene shifts
to Earth, where a massive [music]
Pentagon-shaped building dominates the
landscape. Inside, a man informs
Minister Sue that unidentified monsters
have appeared in cities worldwide, and
headquarters has summoned her to city B.
She confirms receipt of the message and
orders. Everyone prepare for takeoff in
15 minutes. The order is promptly
confirmed. Shortly after, a department
head approaches, presenting a recording
from city H showing a mysterious woman
eliminating one of the monsters.
Minister Sue takes the footage,
analyzing it intently. He adds to the
report that the maritime patrol also
sent footage showing three even larger
monsters being contained by three
individuals in the East China Sea. Faced
with this, Minister Sue reveals that
after forwarding the recordings to
specialists, the monsters were
identified as creatures from the game
Cosmos and also as entities described in
ancient legends from Country R. Based on
this information, she concludes the
investigation shouldn't just focus on
the game, but on these ancient legends.
The scene shifts to the East China Sea.
There, Lee uses chains to restrain a
massive dragon monster. straining, he
shouts that he's managed to hold back an
SS rank creature and orders the others
to hurry and eliminate the two remaining
S-rank monsters. Balang Dafu replies
that he understands while Bruce and
another warrior attack in the
background. An archer takes aim, draws
his bow, and unleashes a volley of
arrows. The projectiles strike another
dragon's eye dead. Seeing this, Balang
Dafu and Bruce are stunned. Suddenly,
Lee is hurled skyward by the chain still
attached to the dragon monster. He
screams in pain as his arm is torn by
the brutal force of the pull. At that
instant, another monster lunges to
attack the warriors. All around them,
monstrous creatures begin to surge from
the waters. With no other choice, Baling
Dafu and Bruce retreat through the air,
carrying their injured comrade. Bruce
demands why reinforcements haven't
arrived yet, stating it's impossible to
keep fighting this threat. Even so,
Baling Dafu insists they can't let the
creatures reach the city. With grim
determination, he charges back into the
fray. Suddenly, a man appears before
them, drawing his sword against a
crowned sea monster. With a firm voice,
Jang Wusen tells them, "Leave this to
me." The dragon monster lunges towards
him, but suddenly the creature freezes.
Jang Wusen's blade flashes into full
view. In an instant, he encases all
three monsters in colossal blocks of
ice. Finally, the man declares his
technique, Snow Moon Spatial Rift. Keri
begins to narrate the story, explaining
the need to rewind tens of thousands of
years, even before the evil god Morpheus
appeared. According to him, after the
battle of the titans, Zeus, Hades, and
Poseidon summoned Morpheus to punish
humans for their worship. This decision,
however, displeased other gods like Ra,
Buddha, and Izanami. Though none wished
to start a war in humanity's name.
Still, the ambitions of the three
brothers didn't cease. Hades tricked
Buddha, then imprisoned Rah and other
divine factions in the prisons of
Latiniah, Guu, and Tardus. Cipri reveals
he spent millennia traversing the seas
until finally reaching Latinaya, all in
search of Rah. Hearing this, Chenille
questions why Hades would bring humans
to Latinaya. In response, [music] Capri
states that to the gods, humans are
nothing more than food. He continues,
explaining humanity's sole purpose there
is to sustain the monsters guarding that
place. With that, the mystery of
Latinaya finally unravels for Cheng Le.
New doubts surface in his mind. He
wonders why Ke sensed Ra's power within
him and if there's any connection
between them. After reflecting, he
concludes the only way to get answers is
to find Ra himself and question him
directly. Turning to his companions,
Chenille remarks that the temple is
still far away and they need to hurry.
At that moment, Keerri suggests there
might be something that can help them
get there faster. Yuruka steps forward
ready. Keerri then transforms into a
massive golden beetle, explaining that
this form allows him to fly. Meanwhile,
Yuruka begins to fly around him.
Watching the scene, Chenulo comments on
Keer's transformation and the low mana
cost of that form. The gigantic beetle
then lands on the desert sand. Keri
invites his master to climb onto his
back for the journey. Soon after, the
creature takes flight, kicking up a
massive cloud of sand as it [music]
departs. With his hair now white,
Chenille declares they will set off to
save Ra. And so, the group soarses
through the desert skies, riding a top
the giant beetle. The scene shifts to a
solitary lighthouse at night. There, a
hooded woman approaches Jang Wuan,
informing him that the situation is
spiraling out of control. She warns him
that without a solution, all humans on
Earth will be wiped out. She adds that
not even the humans within the cosmos
game will be spared. Jang Wuan listens
to the warning in silence. Soon after,
[music] the woman activates a
holographic interface on her wrist. A
portal rips open in the sky before them.
A system notification announces that
Hades army has arrived in Burggama just
as a figure emerges from the portal. The
woman then states that it won't be long
before Gan Sparades is also dragged into
the battle. From inside the temple, the
giant beetle approaches through the sky.
On its back, Chenille travels alongside
the mysterious man and Yaruka. During
the journey, he turns to his companion
and asks if he still remembers nothing.
The white-haired man confirms that his
memory remains completely blank. Faced
with [music] this, Chenilo realizes the
man doesn't know who he truly is and
that they'll need to find a way to
recover those memories. Carefully, the
young man places a hand on his shoulder.
In a calm tone, Cheng Lelay reassures
him, saying, "Don't worry. Everything
has a solution, and this situation won't
last forever." At that instant, a system
notification flashes on the map,
informing them they had arrived at the
temple. The great golden beetle
approaches a solitary structure rising
in the middle of the desert. Ahead,
Cheni Lei intently watches the
destination they had finally reached.
Without hesitation, he orders Keri to
descend. The creature then dives towards
the ground. Inside the temple, Argolas
senses their approach. Almost
simultaneously, he catches a familiar
scent in the air. As he touches the
ground, Keri returns to his humanoid
form and bows respectfully before his
master. Chenji Lelay thanks him for the
effort, but Keri replies that he merely
fulfilled his duty. Next, everyone turns
to the imposing stone structure rising
before them. With determination, Chenilo
declares, "All I need to do now is
defeat the guardian so we can leave this
place and return to the real world."
Keerri muses that if the same person
activated the temple and attacked the
village, they must still be inside. As
they ascend the staircases, Chenulele
observes the enormous statue positioned
at the entrance. Suddenly, a familiar
scent invades his senses. Looking up,
Chenulele spots a figure on top of the
temple. From the rooftop, Argolis
watches their approach from a distance.
With a cold smile, he states, "We
[music] finally meet." Chenille
recognizes him instantly. Without
mincing words, Argalis promises, "I'll
gently sever your head, ensuring you a
comfortable death." Immediately after,
he charges in a direct attack against
Chenille. Their blows clash at high
speed. The impact kicks up a massive
explosion of sand around them. However,
Keri intercepted the attack, revealing
himself as a soul servant. Witnessing
the scene, Chenila realized he would
have been hit without Ke's intervention.
In that moment, he understood Keerri was
far stronger than he'd imagined.
Argololis watched intently, recognizing
his opponent possessed a soul servant,
confirming his suspicions were correct.
Suddenly, someone grabbed Argolus' arm,
halting the confrontation. Luscious
burst onto the battlefield, weapon in
hand. Without hesitation, she fired two
spears at the enemy. Before the spears
could strike, a [music] giant serpent
erupted from the sand to intercept the
attack. The spears collided with the
creature, triggering a massive
explosion. [music] As a result, Argolus
was trapped within a mountain of rock.
Just then, Chen Jilay noticed a group of
people approaching. Leading them, Boon
advanced, his voice serious as he
questioned how Chenlay intended to
settle the score for abandoning his
teammates. Inside the temple, Boan
grumbled about still not finding the
exit after walking for so long. Bros,
trying to keep his cool, asked him to
wait a little longer. Noting their pace,
Saly remarked that at this speed, they
should have reached their destination
ages ago. At that, Chenulele turned,
stating the exit had probably vanished.
He then explained that the spot ahead
was exactly the same one they'd marked
earlier. The conclusion was immediate.
The temple had trapped them in a loop. A
mark on the wall confirmed the entire
group's suspicion. With Yuruka perched
on his head, Chenulele wondered when
they'd entered this cycle as the system
hadn't given any warning. Analyzing the
situation, he realized he couldn't
afford to waste time while Keri fought
outside. Just then, Yuruka called out to
him as other group members rushed down
the corridor. Bros returned shortly
after, reporting they checked all the
walls in the floor, but found no doors
or hidden mechanisms. Ubé added that
both the protective array and the
passage formation had already been
destroyed. Chenji Lelay asked about the
ceiling, but the older man replied
they'd need to think of a different way
to escape. Bobin then suggested Saly use
a fireball against the wall to test if
the spell could break through it. She
questioned the idea's effectiveness,
while Ubé stated there was no harm in
trying. After a brief exchange of
glances, UB and Salg agreed. Preparing
to act, Saly activated her technique,
the dance of flames. As the group
watched from a distance, then she
unleashed an explosive fireball against
the wall. Immediately after impact, Saly
realizes the spell worked. A circular
hole rips open in the wall, revealing a
corridor above. Bros cheers excitedly,
asking if they've finally found a way
out. His expression, however, shifts as
he gets a better look at the opening.
Before them, an identical corridor
appears, just like the one below, with
the same distinct mark visible in the
distance. Bros instantly recognizes UB's
mark while Salili wonders how this is
even possible. Furious, UB shouts,
daring whoever is messing with them to
show themselves. At that moment, Chenila
remembers something similar from his
studies. Theories comparing Earth to a
prison for humanity. The realization
hits him. The entire passage was
designed in a circular shape, but
gravity had prevented them from noticing
it before. Faced with this revelation,
Chenille begins to wonder how they'll
ever escape this place. In a Tokyo
building, a woman approaches Professor
Miyaki carrying photos of the monsters
that have appeared on Earth. She
explains that the creatures resemble
those from the game Cosmos, modeled
after mythological stories from various
cultures. The professor's colleague
confirms that such monsters are indeed
recorded in these mythologies. Faced
[music] with this, the woman asks if
this means the ancient stories are true.
Miatake realizes that if these accounts
are real, then what she's investigating
can't just be a myth, either. Finally,
her colleague concludes in a serious
tone, "This isn't a myth at all. It's
history." Back in the corridor, the
group remains slumped on the floor,
exhausted and with no apparent way out.
Frustrated by the situation, Boon
demands, "Are we just going to be stuck
here until we die?" Lusious, however,
simply tells him to stop yelling.
Unyielding, Boon stands to confront her,
but Bros holds him back before things
can escalate. Saly turns to Chenule,
asking if he's come up with any
solutions. He admits he hasn't,
lamenting that this isn't a formal
mission and feeling a crucial clue must
have been missed. Just then, the
mysterious man appears behind him,
uttering a single word, Uraboros.
[music] He then confirms their situation
is exactly like the Uraoros. Confused,
Chenilo repeats the name, not
immediately understanding. A moment
later, he recalls seeing something
similar in a mythology book. The memory
clicks. Uraboros is the symbol of a
serpent devouring its own tail,
representing an eternal cycle found in
various cultures. With this in mind,
Chenile asks if they're inside the
creature's stomach. The mysterious man
denies it, explaining this is actually a
divine restriction created by Oneros,
the god of dreams. Faced with the
explanation, Chenille asks if there's a
way to break this restriction. The man
replies that if they discover who is
casting the restriction and kill him,
the effect will be undone. Hearing this,
Chenila realizes the implication is
clear. One of them isn't real, but a
creation of Oneros. The guide warns him
to be careful, explaining that the
impostor acts like a god within the
Uraoros. With this revelation, Chenule
decides he needs to act without raising
suspicion, waiting for the perfect
moment to strike a fatal blow. Silently,
he begins to observe his companions
intently. Doubt naws at him as he
wonders who the impostor could be. His
gaze lingers for a moment on Feloka.
Then he watches the other group members
one by one. Meanwhile, Sali offers UB a
piece of bread. Finally, Chenila
mentally questions how the impostor is
disguised and which of them truly
doesn't belong. A woman stands beneath a
great tree. As petals gently float in
her hand, she wonders what's happening.
In that instant, she realizes the dream
seal has been activated. Moments later,
Hades appears before her, greeting
Oneros after a long time. Surprised, she
questions his presence there. With an
ironic tone, Hades asks why she doesn't
seem to welcome him. Onos justifies
herself, saying she was surprised since
he never visited the underworld's edge
anymore, and questions the reason for
his sudden appearance. Hades then drops
a bombshell. His father, Kronos, has
escaped Tardus' prison. Her reaction is
immediate. She declares it's impossible
because the dreams of Tardus haven't
been activated. Hades's gaze hardens as
he threatens her directly, ordering her
to help him recapture Kronos before Zeus
and Poseidon find out. If she fails,
she'll take his place in the prison.
Without hesitation, Oniros agrees to
obey. A shimmering portal rips open
beside them. Even after accepting the
order, she can't help but wonder how
Kronos managed to escape without
activating the dreams. Meanwhile, at the
Temple of Latinia, a new scene unfolds.
A voice cuts through the air, asking
what's been decided. Ubé asks, "Are we
really doing the clone training here
again?" Chenille confirms, "Since we're
trapped, we might as well use this time
for a new challenge." The elder however
reminds them but everyone was humiliated
last time. Just then Braz and Feloka
approach curious about Chenille's plans.
Feloka taunts him scared of getting
thrashed again. Saly immediately steps
in telling Ubé don't listen to her
provocations. Chenjilu silently observes
everyone's reaction. Then he turns to UB
if you're true to your word the training
must happen. The old man agrees and
declares the lightning judgment will
begin. The announcement stunned Salie
Bros and Feloka. Chenji and Ubé
exchanged a knowing glance. As one of
the 12 heroes, Ubé possessed a keen
perception of his surroundings. The
spirit guide Ubé commented that he
hadn't expected such an idea from Chen
Jule. In response, the young man
explained that it was impossible to find
the impostor through brute force alone.
He then revealed that while a clone
could replicate a person, there was one
thing it couldn't copy: habits. Each
individual possessed their own unique
way of thinking and fighting. something
impossible to fake. That's why Chenille
concluded all he needed to do was
observe the participants closely to
identify the impostor. The guide,
however, warned him. If they discovered
he knew about the dream, everyone would
be trapped in an inescapable temporal
vortex. Calmly, Chenulo assured him he
would find a way. At that moment, UB
gave the signal and told everyone to
prepare. The other participants
immediately took their combat stances.
In an instant, battle clones
materialized before them. Weapon in
hand, Chenille charged forward,
announcing the start of the
confrontation. Without wasting a moment,
he leaped towards one of the copies to
attack. The battle began with each
member facing his own clone. Luscious
declared he had no interest in this game
and preferred to end it quickly to find
a way out. Attentively, Chenile watched
Raquel's fight against her duplicate. At
the same time, Salerie defended herself
against her own opponent. With firm
resolve, she managed to block the blow
struck by her copy. Chenjule informed
Salie that he would contain her clone
while she and Lusious helped eliminate
the others. Without hesitation, she
agreed to the plan. Soon after, the two
moved away to put the strategy into
action. Remaining calm, he continued to
observe the battles, determined to
identify the impostor. Meanwhile, Bobin
and his copy engaged in an intense
confrontation. Feloka also plunged into
battle against his own reflection. On
the other side, Bros unleashed a
powerful blow on his duplicate. Feloka
launched an attack that kicked up a
dense cloud of dust from the ground. The
two warriors stared each other down
amidst the fight. At that moment, Chen
Gilelay's clone charged towards him.
Analyzing the situation, he realized
that while the others fought cautiously,
both he and Lucius had faced Sali's
weaker replica, which seemed insecure.
Suddenly, a realization struck him.
Something crucial had gone unnoticed. In
that instant, Chenzle finally understood
who the impostor was. Meanwhile, Raquel
defeats her clone with a single decisive
blow. Sali and Ubé continue battling
their own copies. Confidently, Boon
declares his victory. Bros's clone
slowly begins to dissipate. Moments
later, Bros appears behind Chenile,
asking how he got there. Without a word,
Chenile turns and attacks Bros directly.
His weapon slices through Bros's body
without resistance. Shocked, Feloka
screams, demanding to know what Chenilo
is doing. Oban also reacts, yelling,
"Has Chenilo lost his mind?" BRS's body
begins to crumble into luminous
particles. Before everyone's eyes, he
vanishes completely. Boan and Foka stare
at the scene, unable to comprehend what
just happened. At that moment, Chenule
confirms his suspicion. Bros was indeed
the impostor. The surrounding scenery
begins to crumble. He looks up, watching
everything collapse. The dream world
shatters into countless fragments. An
intense light engulfs them all, forcing
Cheni Le to shield his face. When he
opens his eyes again, disorientation
washes over him. Everyone is now sitting
on the floor of a dark room. Chenile
wonders if they've finally escaped the
dream. Before he can speak, Bob grabs
him by the collar, demanding an
explanation. Feloka helps the real Bros
to his feet as Bros [music] asks, "What
happened? Why are we all sitting here?"
Bob presses him. "What were you staring
at?" Calmly, he simply replies, "We
escaped [music] the cycle." Before them
stands a massive sealed door. Elsewhere,
Argolus, who sacrificed his soul to
Hades, is finally revealed. He stands
before an opponent in the heart of the
desert. [music] With disdain, Keri
remarks, "I thought about playing a
little longer, but this has become
utterly boring." He then lifts the man
by his neck as his opponent gasps, "Who
[music] are you?" The chilling reply
comes, "You can ask Hades himself in
hell." As the man begins to choke, Hades
reacts from afar. A sinister energy
begins to envelop the captive's body.
This same force manifests over Keerri,
revealing itself as Hades's divine
prohibition, hellfire. The man collapses
to the ground as the energy utterly
consumes his opponent. With great
effort, he manages to rise. In the sky,
a colossal manifestation of power begins
to form. Argolas then raises his voice,
calling out to Lord Hades. Far away,
Hades feels something activate in his
hand. He wonders if the divine
prohibition placed on Argolas has been
triggered and if the god killer is truly
in Latinaya under a tree. Petals gently
float around the hand of a seated woman.
Back at the [music] temple, Uber asks if
what happened was caused by a
prohibition from the dream gods. He
questions how Chenila knew it was the
work of a god. The young man starts to
answer but hesitates mid-sentence.
[music] Just then, Saly asks how he
knows something she's never even heard
of. Boon, more aggressive, demands to
know what else is being hidden. Luscious
then intervenes, explaining that every
god possesses a unique divine
prohibition spell. According to her,
this prohibition can only be activated
by the god who granted it. She adds that
such spells are also effective against
other gods, making them the ultimate
weapon of the deities. Lusious concludes
that it was practically a miracle they
managed to escape. She then turns to
Chenzi Lei and asks how he knew that
killing the imposttor bras would break
the prohibition. The real bros looks at
him confused and asks what exactly was
done. Calmly, Chenilo explains that they
eliminated the impostor to escape the
divine prohibition, and now the [music]
situation is under control. Just then, a
system warning flashes, informing them
that the god's servant, Kaibou, has been
sealed [music] for 30 hours. The message
immediately puts Chen Jayle on high
alert. Without wasting a moment, he
rushes the group, stating that whoever
sealed the servant will come after them
very soon. Everyone then positions
themselves before the massive sealed
door. The structure begins to open
slowly. Uber warns everyone to be
careful, finding the absence of any
guardian beast strange. Suddenly, a door
in the back slams shut with a violent
bang. Chenulo watches the situation in
silence. Soon after, [music] Saly points
into the darkness ahead. In the gloom,
multiple pairs of eyes begin to glow. A
horde of undead creatures emerges before
the group. The army of monsters slowly
advances towards them. Boon is shocked
by the sheer number of enemies. Bros
watches intently, commenting that these
beasts are more powerful than anything
they've ever seen in Latinaya. While the
demon's individual power is only
slightly higher than previous foes,
their overwhelming numbers make the
situation incredibly dangerous. In the
narrow corridor, the numerical
disadvantage becomes suffocating. A new
mission activates, Anubis' infernal eye.
The system warns that the eye will
summon a constant stream of demons,
[music]
and completing the mission will summon
the temple's guardian. At the end of the
corridor, a massive eye materializes,
ceaselessly unleashing monsters. Seeing
this, Chenula realizes the beasts are
being summoned by the eye, and the only
way out is to destroy it. For a moment,
he pers most important to do right now.
Saly turns to Ubé, asking what their
next move should be as new creatures
keep appearing. Without hesitation, the
Elder unleashes a powerful attack
against the advancing horde, striking
the first monsters on the front line
headon. At the same time, Chenerlay
charges straight into the enemy ranks.
Deep down, he decides that regaining
everyone's trust is his top priority,
stopping [music] amidst the defeated
monster corpses, he takes a firm stance.
Then he shouts for everyone to cover
him, declaring, "I'll destroy the eye
and end this once and for all." Bob
comments with a hint of irony, "He
really loves being the center of
attention, doesn't he?" UB bros and
Feloka immediately brace for combat.
With a firm voice, the elder orders
everyone to cover Chenile, officially
announcing the start of the battle.
Determined, Chenille pushes forward,
resolved to prove they aren't alone and
can trust him. UB lands another
devastating blow against the monster
horde. Bob grumbles that he can't let
Chenil La Hog all the glory, then
unleashes a violent attack of his own
against the enemies. Bros and Foka fight
side by side, while Luscious offers

This guy is a genius student. Chen Jilliao has a lot of problems to solve at school, and the biggest one is his girlfriend. This girl forces him to do all the homework because she needs to play games all night to maintain her high rank. Chenila accepts this because it's the only way to have such a beautiful girlfriend, but he wants more. So, he asked to play with her at night, too. The girl agreed because she needs a healer in her party. That day, the MC went home after buying that famous game. His mom made his favorite food, but Chenila couldn't wait. The Cosmos game was in his backpack waiting for him. He ran to his room. The rainy weather was relaxing. If Chen Jillo gets closer to his girlfriend, he can finally try to take their relationship deeper. Putting on the VR helmet and turning on the machines, his mind started seeing another reality. This place is the start of the cosmos game. Here it is explained that this is a survival game and the player must choose their class right now. Chengillia knows Xiaomé said they needed a healer, so he is going to choose that class. While the protagonist was connected, heavy rain was falling outside and a lightning bolt hit his house. The electric discharge traveled through the cables and fried his mind. I feel the energy. My brain feels like it's going to melt, thought Chenila. The whole room glowed blue. And when his mom went to bring his food, where did her son go? The only clue in the room is the computer screen with this information. Somewhere else, a girl was in danger. Several monsters defeated the humans and were ready for the banquet. The girl could only scream for help. Then a bright light caught everyone's attention. Chenila appeared there and said that Xiaomé would be safe. All he wanted was to touch her lips. So, it happens. But look, it was just a dream and it was this lizard that woke him up. Confused, he wonders what happened to the transfer process. The sensation is described as an electric shock, strangely pleasant. From this, he deduces he's now inside the game. Staring at the desert's vastness, he wonders if this is truly the game. The intense heat, the excessive realism, and the absence of people in the supposed newbie village catch his attention. Because of this, he decides to search for Xiaomé. A player search screen appears [music] before him. However, the system reports that the player was not found. The situation seems strange to him as her ID is perfectly etched into his memory. Even so, he decides to go to the village to find her. Now wearing a hooded cloak, he continues walking through the desert. Then, a map opens displaying his location in an unconfirmed desert area. Doubt returns, making him wonder if he made a mistake and where the game teleported him. Two game area connection screens appear in sequence. Soon after, a system message informs him he's outside the server area. It becomes clear to him that not being able to contact Xiaomé isn't normal. With the constant heat, he calculates he's losing almost a liter of water per hour. At this moment, he finally realizes this isn't just a game anymore, as he could soon collapse from dehydration. The decision seems obvious. The game is too hard, and it's best to disconnect to explain everything to Xiaomé. However, [music] an error message appears on the screen. Trying again, he questions if this is a joke since disconnecting seems impossible. Insistently, he presses the button multiple times, but the error message keeps appearing. Without answers, he starts to wonder why he can't leave. A [music] scream escapes him as he realizes he's trapped in the game. Soon after, a notification informs him of a new message, sparking an immediate reaction of curiosity. The screen then displays the details of a quest called Survive. With infinite duration and unknown rewards, rage consumed him. He just wanted to play with May, but now he was trapped. Punching the sand, he felt frustration surge, unable to log out or contact anyone. Doubt then assailed him, questioning if he would be stuck there forever. 8 hours later, he still struggled to believe he was trapped in what he would come to call his first day in the apocalypse. Over time, he discovered the game possessed the same mechanics as the real world. Temperature and dehydration symptoms were entirely real. Because of this, he realized that if he continued like this, the only thing awaiting him was death. To have a chance at survival, he concluded he needed to find water. Memory brought forth a show he'd watched where limestone rocks indicated the presence of nearby water. From this, [music] he deduced there should be a water source in the rocky area ahead. Without wasting time, he began walking in that direction. As he advanced, a creature with sharp fangs stalked him closely. As he approached the rocks, he hoped his deduction was correct. Inside a cave, he finally found a water source. Back on the surface, he drank urgently, declaring it essential to his survival. Outside, a monstrous creature watched him from a top the rocks. Lying on the ground, he concluded the water problem was solved, though there was still no way out. Sitting up, he opened a system screen, pondering that if this was a game, there had to be a clue to escape the desert. Next, he observed the map displayed on the screen. However, the map only showed explored areas, leading him to check his own system profile. Analyzing his attributes, he concluded that with such a low level and no skills, his only option was to run if he encountered a monster. Given that, he decided to check what equipment he had. The system then materialized a sword and a pair of gloves before him. He immediately noticed his class's starting weapon was a sword. As a precaution, he decided it was best to keep the weapon with him and equip it along with the gloves. Now standing, he raised the sword and tested its movement. Then he struck a rock which shattered on impact. The realization hit him. The weapon was far harder and more resistant than in reality. Noticing the system even displayed equipment wear, he concluded everything in this game seemed terrifyingly real. Standing at the cave entrance, he heard his own stomach rumble. Necessity called and he decided to go out and find food. Otherwise, he wouldn't last long. However, as he turned, a noise from the water behind him caught his attention, making him wonder what it was. Quickly, he hid behind a rock and cautiously peered inside the cave. Immediately, regret washed over him for not having watched the area more carefully after drinking the water. Suddenly, a bone dropped to the ground near him, drawing his surprised gaze. Before him, an enormous pile of animal skeletons lay accumulated at the back of the cave. Crouching, he picked up one of the bones, wondering why so many were scattered there. Carefully, he ran his finger over the teeth marks etched into the bone. A memory triggered as he recognized those marks from a book he'd seen before. With a look of shock, he exclaimed, [music] "This can't be real." Abruptly, he turned and declared, "I can't stay here. I need to get out now." Suddenly, the monstrous creature appeared right before him. His body froze, paralyzed by the monster's fangs. At the last second, he managed to dodge the attack. The wolf then began to circle him. An info screen popped up, identifying the creature as a level five desert wolf. The system detailed the beast's main attack, a bite with 300 kg of force. However, a notification highlighted the monster's belly as its primary weakness. The realization hit him. There was indeed a monster right in front of him. It also became clear that with the wolf's superior speed, fighting was his only option. With that, he stood up and took a combat stance, [music] gripping his sword tightly. The risk was immediate. He knew if he lost, he would die. With a shout that echoed through the cave, he declared, "You're underestimating me." As he blocked the creature's attack with his sword. A memory flashed, taking him back to his high school days. Back then, he was the president of the Wind Blast Kendo Club and became the youngest person in the country to achieve the sixth degree in swordsmanship. His motivation for learning kendo had always been simple. His mother, when she was younger, was a huge celebrity fan, and among her idols was local kendo star Jay Camira Yai. For that reason, she encouraged her son to train in swordsmanship from an early age. At first, he thought kendo was easy, just a show with fancy clothes. However, once he started real practice, he quickly realized the sport was far from simple. Facing an opponent in kendo armor, his own breath and heartbeat became his sole focus. In that moment, an inexplicable sensation would seize his body, making movements difficult. The source of this feeling was the realization that he wasn't strong enough. The only way to overcome it was to keep practicing and pushing himself relentlessly. That's why he spent all his free time in the non-airconditioned dojo, repeating the same movements countless times. training was marked by constant failures and numerous injuries. [music] Still, he never stopped training, refining each movement little by little until he became the youngest sixth Dan Kendo practitioner in Z City. Even after achieving that feat, he never stopped training. The belief that guided him was simple. In a world where the strong devour the weak, the victor is king. Back in the present, he stares down the wolf, acutely aware that the next opponent could be far more terrifying. His hand tightens its grip on the sword hilt, bracing for the imminent danger. Again, he roared that the monster had underestimated him, blocking its attack. Sparks erupted as his blade clashed against the creature's claws. He reeled, shocked by the brutal force of the impact. The wolf lunged with ferocity, striking Chenilo with brutal [music] force. His body slammed against the cave wall. Still, he questioned why his sword attacks had no effect. A system notification flashed. Attack ineffective. It explained that only strikes to the abdomen would deal damage. Other areas were invulnerable. His mind raced, desperate for a solution. Even with the monster's weakness laid bare, the beast was too fast. With every lunge, its weak point remained just out of reach. It was clear that merely defending would only lead to his exhaustion. Standing before the creature, he began to weigh his options. Doubt nawed at him, wondering if this was truly where he would die. But then, remembering the beast's vulnerable abdomen, an idea finally sparked. His [music] feet pressed firmly into the ground, a gamble forming in his mind that this plan would work. Without hesitation, he charged, convinced this was his only way to slay the beast. The wolf leaped, sinking its fangs deep into his shoulder. Seizing the proximity, Chenelo plunged his sword deep into the [music] monster's belly. With fierce conviction, he declared, "There's no way that attack wasn't valid this time." As the wolf collapsed at his feet, he declared victory without a shred of doubt. He then explained his strategy. He deliberately allowed the bite, forcing the beast to drop its guard and expose its weak point. The game's logic is quite interesting, he mused. A system notification blared, "Arena wolf defeated. Experience granted. Level up. You are now level five. 25 skill points acquired. Immediately after, he noticed that with the level up, all his wounds healed instantly." Another notification popped up announcing, "Hidden level shop system activated." He carefully observed the options laid out before him. However, irritation flared as he stared at the shop section. "Who developed this?" he muttered. "Did they really expect me to die alone in this hole?" he mused, [music] recalling that just like in other games, defeating monsters granted experience to level up and earn skill points. Sitting down, he began to ponder what this hidden shop system truly was. Driven by curiosity, he decided to enter and check it out, pressing the access button. A gust of wind hit him the moment he accessed the new interface. Before his eyes, a vast selection of highlevel weapons and equipment materialized. As he observed the floating items, he wondered, "Is this really the shop?" A list of categories revealed that different item types were unlocked at specific levels. What caught his eye was that beyond weapons and equipment, there were also housing items and home appliances. "Who would even buy these in a game?" he questioned. He also noted that the mercenary system required level 100 to unlock. Suddenly, binary code erupted from the ground, completely surrounding him. Amidst the data, a female figure materialized before him. Immediately, he wondered if it was a holographic projection. Multiple data circles formed on the ground around him. Soon after, an offensive type figure materialized in front of him. Next, a defensive type mercenary appeared. A moment later, a magic type representative emerged before him. Finally, an assassin manifested amidst the digital data. As he observed the vast array of available mercenaries, something caught his eye. A support type mercenary with butterfly wings presented herself. He was speechless, seeing her lying on a bed that suddenly appeared there. Annoyance flared in him again as he stared at the shop section, wondering who developed something so bizarre. The system informed him that at his current level, only the daily necessities phase could be unlocked, and asked if he wished to proceed. His answer was [music] immediate. He affirmed yes, making it clear there was no need to ask for permission to unlock it. A notification confirmed the daily necessities section was successfully activated, consuming five levels. Sitting with his new supplies, he concluded that for now he could only exchange his levels for these items, but it was still a relief. Next, he requested the system display his skill points, noting that currently he could only rely on attributes to evolve. As he analyzed the screen, he pondered that these attributes would define his future, as points couldn't be changed once distributed. Recalling the defeated wolf, he concluded that to face more powerful monsters, he'd need an advantage in speed and attack power. He confirmed this by allocating five points to physique, [music] 10 to strength, and 10 to agility. The status screen reflected the distributed points, granting more health, sufficient damage, and greater speed. An intense sensation coursed through his body, which felt lighter and filled with power, confirming that skill points directly affected his capabilities. [music] He declared with conviction, "This feeling of getting stronger is amazing." However, he soon faced a new horde of wolves emerging from the cave entrance. [music] Taking a combat stance, he declared this was the perfect moment to test the effect of his new attributes. A shout echoed as he vowed to end this wolf den, and the creatures charged. One of the wolves leaped towards him to attack. With agility, he dodged the blow and struck two of the creatures in a swift movement. His strengthened attack power now proved capable of ignoring the wolves defense. [music] Soon after, another wolf lunged, jaws wide open. Without hesitation, he blocked the attack and counterattacked with his sword. The attribute improvements also boosted his weapon handling skills. He hurled a stone which ricocheted off the cave walls. Seizing the opening, he unleashed a single spinning strike that hit multiple wolves simultaneously. Advancing through the horde, he defeated the enemies one by one with his blade. The system issued successive notifications, informing him that several levels had been achieved in sequence. Sitting at top a pile of defeated wolves, he received congratulations from the system for reaching level 15 and gaining new skill points. he remarked. After leveling up, killing monsters became so much easier. Under the starry sky, he realized it was late, and the intense cold made it impossible to search for an exit, even with food and water. Suddenly, something caught his attention in the distance. As he approached, he found several wolf bodies scattered across the ground. Crouching beside one of the animals, he wondered why they were dead. Suddenly, another wolf was struck down nearby. Soon after, a mysterious figure appeared at top a rock holding two wolves. [music] his gaze fixed on the silhouette as the question arose, "Who is that person?" His character sheet updated, indicating he had reached level 16. Inspecting one of the dead wolves, he noticed it was as if all the blood had been drained from its body. He immediately concluded that humans weren't responsible for these deaths. With a sudden movement, he spun around and exclaimed in shock, "That can't be." Staring at the desolate landscape, the situation felt strange to him. Beside the corpses, he claimed to have seen someone there just seconds ago. Doubt assailed him as he wondered if other players were trapped in this place just like him. One detail caught his attention. The body's blood seemed to have been completely drained by something. Still, he hesitated to believe such ferocious tactics could have been used by another player. Suddenly, he realized he was wrong. A danger alert flashed right in front of him. Something shot past him at incredible speed. With an immediate reflex, he sharply turned towards the attack. A tentacle slammed into the ground with force. The creature's tip dripped blood before writhing on the surface. Faced with the scene, he observed the monster before him as the system informed him that his weapon's durability had decreased. The conclusion hit him with chilling clarity. Humans hadn't killed those wolves. From the shadows, a jackal-headed humanoid figure emerged. It was clear these deaths were caused by a highle monster. He quickly realized this enemy was nothing like the arena wolves. A chilling thought struck him. If his stats hadn't boosted after leveling up, he'd be dead right now. The monster watched its own hand regenerate before his eyes. In that instant, Chenula identified the creature's ability, regeneration. A system screen flashed, revealing the enemy's name, Wandering Dominator, level unknown. The description called it the King of Speed at the top of the food chain, feeding on the blood of other creatures. It also made it clear no one could escape its hunt. Even prepared for any monster, the creature's murderous aura was utterly overwhelming. His body felt pinned to the ground, utterly unable to move. All he could do was wait to be hunted. In that moment, he admitted he'd never felt such intense fear before. Chenju Lee stared down the monster before him. A scream tore from his throat as he yelled, "Demons!" With a simple flick of its hand, the creature attacked. The blow struck him fullon. Still, he managed to recover and braced for its next move. Leaping into the air, he tried to strike the creature from above. He declared firmly that he wouldn't be intimidated. His sword sliced through the air in a precise strike, but the attack passed right through his target, hitting only the ground. Confused, he looked back, trying to understand what just happened. The monster instantly appeared behind him. With no time to react, a punch sent him flying. Chenji Lelay tumbled across the ground from the impact. With effort, he scrambled to his feet and started running. He plunged his blade into the ground to halt his momentum. Wondering if this was the absolute speed the system had mentioned. The monster stared at him and uttered words in an unknown tongue. Immediately after, the creature lunged and struck him brutally. The impact sent him to his knees, his sword clattering to the ground, hand pressed to his chest. He knew that last blow could have easily killed him. Still, he wondered what this creature truly wanted. In response, his sword was flung back, embedding itself in the ground right before him. Then, the monster returned the weapon again, repeating the same words in an unknown tongue. Confused, [music] the protagonist asked why the creature kept returning his sword and what its real intention was. Without answering, the creature gestured with its hand, directly inviting him to combat. A chilling thought struck him. Was the monster just toying with him? The situation felt like a cat playing with its prey, not devouring it immediately, but toying with it before the final strike. Seizing a moment of carelessness, he managed to break free and launch an attack against the monster. Lying on the ground, Cheng Le cursed his situation as the wandering dominator approached. It was clear the enemy was too fast and ordinary attacks wouldn't work. Without warning, the creature grabbed him by the collar. Lifted into the air, Chenila snarled, "You bastard." The wandering dominator stared at him and uttered the word, "humans." Surprise washed over Chenila. This type of creature could talk. With contempt, [music] the monster declared, "Humans were nothing but weak worms." In response, the young man slashed the creature's arm and broke free. Retaliation came swift. A precise sword strike. Chenula hurled back the insult, calling his foe a beetlebrained worm. The wandering dominator stared at the wound on his hand. Amused, he declared, "It's been centuries since a human made me this excited." Chenzila shot back, "I'm a little excited myself." He refused to die. Not when he still had family, friends, and a long life ahead to live with them. With a firm voice, he roared, "Wait for my return." A beam of light pierced the heavens. A notification flashed. His extraordinary fighting spirit had activated the revelation of the god Letoia. Another message revealed. All his attributes had just surged by a 100 points. His body shifted, adopting a new powerful combat stance. Satisfied, the wandering dominator smirked. Now you're better. Come closer. In a flash, Chen Jle lunged, slashing the creature. The impact sent his foe reeling. Giving no quarter, the young man unleashed a rapid flurry of blows. A system warning blared. Weapon durability zero. Unusable. He prepared to hurl the broken sword's hilt, then slammed a direct punch into the creature's face. The force of the blow sent the wandering dominator h hurtling into a mountain. Confident, Chenilo declared, "I'll kill you and take your experience." But then his enemy reappeared behind him, transformed into a new terrifying form. The attack came swift, slamming him against the jagged rocks. The creature stalked towards the fallen young man, sneering, "Foolish human! A species no better than worms. Wounded, Chenille wondered if he could possibly defeat him in this state. Showing no further interest, the monster turned and began to walk away. Raising a hand, he invoked a new terrifying ability. An enormous skeletal creature materialized in the sky, casting a chilling shadow. The wandering dominator bid the human farewell. Immediately, the summoned beast descended from the heavens, crashing down on Cheni Lelay. The protagonist's body was flung backward, already gravely wounded. A final chilling doubt gripped him. "Am I going to die?" His hand fell lifelessly beside a notification. "HP0, you have died." A soft feminine voice asked, "Are you awake?" His vision blurred, then cleared. He was sitting on a bed in an unfamiliar room. Bending forward, he struggles to catch his breath. Doubt grips him as he wonders if he's even alive. He walks to the window, questioning if he managed to escape the game. Quickly, however, he realizes that's not the case. Looking outside, his confusion deepens. Where on earth could this place be? Back at the bed, he opens a system screen. [music] Since the interface is still there, he concludes he's still trapped in the game. The memory of being killed by the monster floods back, clashing with the fact that he's now sitting there perfectly fine. Lifting his shirt, he confirms there are no injuries on his body and starts to question what's going on. Just then, a woman enters the room holding a basin. Cautiously, she asks if he's awake. For a few moments, they stare at each other in silence. In response to her greeting, he confirms he just woke up. Without another word, the woman rushes out and announces to Grandpa Ubé that he's awake. Chenji Lelay's confusion intensifies as he wonders if the game transported him to the beginner's village. Outside, an older man named Ubé was gathering herbs. Hearing the call, he stops what he's doing and asks what she said. Turning to Chenila, the woman asks, surprised, "Were you killed?" Now facing both of them, he confirms his chest was pierced and asks how he got there. She explains that Grandpa Ubé found him while hunting. lighting his pipe, the elder [music] states that the young man was on the verge of death, but not dead. He then adds that this place is neither the game nor the beginner's village he keeps mentioning. UB also clarifies that they are not NPCs or players as the young man insists. Unconvinced, Chenile refuses to believe them, asserting that this is the game world and they are mistaken. Suddenly, an idea strikes him. Summoning the system screen, he asks them both to look [music] closely. UB and the woman stare at the screen, understanding absolutely nothing. Pointing to the interface, he shows them the tabs for quests, game, status, [music] equipment, and even the mini map. The woman asks her grandfather if the monster hit him so hard it scrambled his brain. [music] And UB agrees he seems extremely confused. Realizing he couldn't contact the GM or find Xiaomi's ID, he understood [music] he was completely cut off from the outside world. Anguish swelled within him as he wondered how he could ever escape this place. [music] Desperate, he screamed at the system interface. I want to go home. A voice replied, stating, "No one can leave," Ubé finished the sentence. [music] "No one in the entire Latinia desert can leave." Incredulous, Chenilo demanded, "How is this possible? How did everyone end up here?" The woman then explained that according to legends, the only way to gain freedom was to find the location of Cabri's temple. The legends also claimed this desert was an endless labyrinth. She added that countless people had left the city in search of the temple, but no one had ever returned alive. As time passed, everyone eventually accepted this reality as continuing to live seemed better than marching to their deaths. Uber added that new people were sent there every year, but he had never witnessed anyone successfully escape. In a counseling tone, he urged the young man to accept reality and suggested Sie take him on a tour of the city later. Even so, Chenilo insisted, "That's impossible. I was transported directly into the game." Suddenly, a new quest notification flashed before him. He stared at the quest titled Cabri's feathered vengeance and wondered what it was about. The description stated the task was to find Cabri's temple in the desert, defeat the guardian monster, Mais, and free the god. The reward for completing the quest was the key to escaping the sealed land, the Latinia desert. Lying in the grass, Chenille reflected that while he still didn't know why he'd been sent to this place, at least now he had a goal. escape the desert by finding Cabri's temple and killing Nabris. When that moment came, he would be ready to find a way out. A voice called out to Chenile. Sitting up, he noticed a woman approaching in the distance. As she drew closer, she asked why he was there, revealing she had been looking for him. Standing up, Chenille apologizes, explaining he had nothing to do and just went for a walk. Then he points to the horizon and asks if the Latinia desert is in that direction. She replies, "In a way, yes." She then explains that their current location is actually surrounded by the desert. Hearing this, Chenji Lelay remarks that he doesn't know how long it will take to find the temple. Surprised, she asks if he's really planning to look for it. Chenile confirms, stating he needs to get out of this place. [music] Seriously, she warns him, "There's no temple there. You'll die if you go." Without hesitation, he replies, "I've already died once. I'll find that temple no matter the cost." After that, Saly invites him to go to the city together. They walk side by side towards the city. As they walk, Sali asks again if he really intends to search for the temple. His answer is simple and direct. Yes. [music] She then warns him that the desert is full of powerful monsters, and even Grandfather Ubé can't guarantee he'll defeat them. Confidently, Chenille tells her not to worry, claiming his fighting ability usually surprises people. Suddenly, an attack rains down from the sky, heading straight for them. Chenille watches the strike approach, and an explosion rips through the middle of the road. Three men emerge walking through the rising dust. The group's leader grins and declares, "The prey has been caught." Shrouded in smoke, the protagonist wonders what's happening. In a swift move, Sales and blocks an attack aimed at Chenile. [music] Kneeling on the ground, Sali questions if the blow was really blocked by a wall of fire. The leader approaches and greets Salie, saying, "We meet again." [music] In response, she asks, "You again, Bobin?" Confused, Chenille demanded, "What's happening? Why are we being attacked?" Salie then explained she'd forgotten to mention that the hunter thieves in this region were even more dangerous than the monsters themselves. One of the men added that they weren't willing to hunt in Latinaya, preferring to steal from others instead. Boan, for his part, described them as a bunch of cowards who lived by hunting and killing their own kind. As he finished speaking, a sword materialized in his hands. Watching the scene unfold, Chenille wondered what kind of ability that was. Boon turned to Salie [music] saying, "Last time you managed to escape, but it won't be so easy now." Sali adopted a firm stance, [music] ready for combat. Then she yelled at Chenji to fall back and find Grandpa Ubé, leaving the fight to her. With an arrogant smirk, Boan declared her spells couldn't harm him. He further taunted, saying she'd be better off coming back with him obediently. Finally, Bob added that he might consider letting that idiot go. A question hung in the air. Was another storm brewing? The path back to the village was long and silent. Amidst the waiting, Ubé found it strange that Saly hadn't returned from the settlement yet. With a mocking tone, Bobin questioned, "Did you really think you'd be free to go back and find that old man?" He bluntly stated her spells were useless and that it would be best to obey and return with him. The taunt continued as he added he might consider letting that idiot go. Stepping in front of Chenila, Saly retorted, "That won't happen. Not even in your dreams." The threat came immediately with Boan warning her not to blame him for what he'd do next. [music] Turning quickly, she told Chenilo to run, assuring him she'd find a way to stop them. His answer was simple and firm. Surprised, Saly turned and asked, "What did you say?" With conviction, he declared that even though they'd only just met, the word escape didn't exist for him. He made it clear, admitting he wasn't the kind of person to abandon a companion and run away alone. In a sudden, brutal move, the opponent slammed him against a tree. Sali's scream echoed as she saw Boon holding the young man. with contempt. He called him trash and demanded, "Who do you think you are? Do you really believe you can fool yourself with those words? You don't use your mouth to talk. You use [music] force." Against all expectations, Chenilo managed to grab his opponent's wrist. The question came directly, asking if Boan really thought he was strong. He then asked with biting irony if this strength boasted about was only good for sneak attacks. The answer came in the form of a punch to the face, which Bob managed to dodge by lunging backward. Calling the young man despicable, he showed surprise, realizing the boy's strength had been enough to dislocate his wrist. His assessment was immediate. The enemy was fast. Even with all his agility points, he hadn't perceived the stealthy attack. Salowy approached, asking if he was okay. He calmly replied, "Yes." Turning to Boon, she demanded, "What exactly are you trying to do?" His voice exploded with frustration. I've told you countless times I want you to be my girlfriend. Her refusal was firm. That's impossible. Just give up. Confusion etched on his face. Chenulo asked all [music] this fuss. Just because of that, she confirmed it. Enraged, Bobin roared. Are you rejecting me because of him? Saly tried to clarify. You're wrong. Chenille is just a friend. Disbelief twisted his features. Friend? That's just an excuse. Without another word, Bob challenged him to a man-to-man battle, snarling. Don't hide like a turtle. He made a promise. If Chenille won, he'd stop bothering her. A side quest, Shadows Madness, activated. [music] The condition, defeat Shadow Swordsman Boan. The reward, the lost map of Latinaya. He realized this had triggered a quest. Could getting the map mean he could finally escape this place? Faced with that possibility. He agreed and accepted the deal. Boon confirmed the agreement. Boon's two henchmen exchanged glances, wondering why their boss had suddenly gotten so serious. One muttered, "The air just turned sour." [music] With clear concern, Sali asked, "Are you sure about this? You can't beat him. Boen is the strongest shadow swordsman in this city." Curiosity peaked. Chenji Lelay questioned the title. "Shadow swordsman? Is he really that strong?" Salowy explained that swordsmen who wielded shadow power didn't just have a speed advantage. "Their strength is terrifyingly high, too," she added. "A blade wreathed in shadows can kill you." Unfazed, he replied. "It doesn't matter. I've already died once." Weighing his options, he declared he'd rather risk everything than stay trapped here. Then he turned to Salie, stating, "I'm not leaving you behind." In a calm tone, he tried to reassure her. "This is a battle that needs to be fought. If I win, maybe we can both leave this place." "Surprised," she whispered. "Leave?" Chenille charged without hesitation, grabbing Boon and questioning his transformation, accusing him of not living his own life properly. Then Chenille's mind sharpened on the real objective. All he had to do was defeat Bob, get the map, and escape. An image of Boon flickered behind Chen Jule. In a swift reflex, he tried to land a kick. Bob easily dodged the attack, then revealed himself beside his followers. Sali and Chenile realized they were surrounded in the middle of the forest. Wielding his blade, Boon taunted, asking if [music] this was all the strength of the guy Sali was so interested in. Doubt gripped Chenilo as he realized his opponent was only defending, never striking back. Seeing their predicament, Sali urged Chenilo to go find Grandpa Wu Boule, insisting he was the only one who could stop Boan. His refusal was immediate, leaving Salie stunned. Calmly, [music] he told her to relax, explaining that this battle had to happen if they wanted to escape together. Confused, Saly demanded, "What are you talking about? What does beating Bob have to do with getting out of here?" Cheng Lo explained that ever since he entered this game, nothing had made sense. The only clue the system gave was to defeat Bob to get the map that showed the exit. He concluded that everything seemed normal, but it felt like someone was pulling all the strings behind the scenes. Calling out to his opponent, Chen Gille locked his gaze. Boon stood still. His sword plunged into the ground. Tauntingly, he asked Chen Jilo<unk>'s name and challenged him, "Are you [music] scared?" The answer came firm, denying any fear and comparing his enemy to a hidden turtle. Bobin scoffed. Fighting trash without an interesting weapon is no fun. With that, he picked up his sword and declared that since this was an official fight, it had to be fair. He then threw his blade towards Chenile. [music] He added, "I don't want Saly or my men thinking I'm intimidating anyone." Among his followers, whispers spread, "The boss is serious this time." With a smirk, Chenile noted that his opponent didn't seem like the rule following type, remembering the earlier sneak attack. Boan denied the accusation, calling it just a reflex. But Chenille shot back, "Stop making excuses." Bracing [music] himself, he agreed to fight fairly. He stated clearly, "Either way, I have to defeat you to get that map." In a menacing tone, Boan warned, "You'll taste the power of the shadow blade." Without wasting a second, Cheng Leaped into the [music] air, aiming for an overhead strike. In a flash, Boan reappeared directly in front of him. Their two swords clashed with a violent crash. Salowy screamed a warning, alerting him to something behind him. Two of Boon's followers lunged from behind. Skillfully, he parried one blow, even as another attack came from the front. Raising his sword, he blocked Bob's attack, too. The pressure intensified as the shadow blade pushed him back, a technique beginning to immobilize him. The grim realization hit him instantly. This was bad. Saly cried out Chenule's name. Gravely wounded, he struggled to breathe, his chest heaving erratically. With his blade dripping blood, Buban simply told him to give up. In a cold, chilling tone, he declared, "You'll never defeat me." Suddenly, a system panel popped up offering the option to surrender the mission. Detecting his injuries, the system asked if he wanted to use a healing skill. His answer was immediate. Yes. In mere seconds, his body began to regenerate and his health points were fully restored. Bob and his men burst into laughter, finding the idea of a priest challenging a shadow assassin utterly absurd. With a sneer, Boan told Chenule he could leave without Salie, claiming someone who awakened as a priest wasn't worthy of facing him. The taunt continued as he asked if the young man was afraid of being defeated and humiliated in front of Saly. Slowly turning, Chenilo asked, "What did you just say?" Impatient, he ordered Boan to stop talking and fight. Accepting the challenge, Boon declared he would show the true power of a shadow assassin. Immediately after, he created two identical clones of himself. Unexpectedly, one of them appeared right behind him. In a menacing tone, Boan remarked that the young man had survived by sheer luck that time, but wouldn't be so lucky again. As the clone lunged to attack him, Chenula quickly realized his opponent had split into three. It was clear that shadow swordsmen relied on their cloning abilities in combat. He deduced the first attack came from a clone and that the real Bob could swap places with his shadows. Immediately, he recognized the situation had become a serious problem. With utter contempt, Boon declared that the compassion he felt for Chenile for awakening as a healer now disgusted him. He then promised to unleash the shadow swordsman's unstoppable attack before killing him. Raising his sword, Chenile provoked him. Show me how strong you really are. Without hesitation, he charged headlong towards the three enemies. In response, Chenul was met with an insult [music] called stupid. Immediately after, Boon commanded his clones to advance. One clone unleashed a powerful strike towards him while the other two moved in from the flanks. Boon extended his hand towards him and suddenly Chen Lelay was suspended in midair, utterly unable to move. Seizing the opening, all three attacked him simultaneously while he remained immobilized. He barely manages to resist, noting how the power of just one clone is almost unbearable. Meanwhile, the other two watch from a distance. [music] Suddenly, one of the clones reappears behind him. The threat is clear. He hears, "You [music] survived last time, but you won't be so lucky now." Just as the attack lands, Chenila simply vanishes. The clone's sword hits only empty ground, a single word escaping its lips. "Perhaps." [music] Sali and Boon's men watch, utterly shocked. Confused, the clone wonders how this is possible. "What the hell is going on?" Chenju reappears at a safe distance, muttering, "That was close. I almost died." A system notification pops up, informing him he's gained a new hidden skill called flash. After a critical hit, he immediately realizes that without this skill, it would have been his end. Now steady on his feet, he declares he just needs to get rid of the remaining clones. Bobin starts to laugh as one of his doppelgangers dissolves before him. With genuine interest, he comments, "Impressive escape, but you only wounded one clone." He then declares, "The real game begins now." And calls his sword back. Chengile watches as the blade takes shape in his hand. In real combat, there are no rules. Boon orders him, "Die!" as the clones prepare to strike. Boon warns him, his voice laced with menace. I'm not playing anymore. Keep your eyes open and watch. The clones then transform their swords into spears. One of them positions itself, preparing a final blow. Moments later, a massive barrage of projectiles is fired at him. The protagonist finds himself completely surrounded by the assault. One of the projectiles whizzes past his head. With no other choice, he materializes a shield to defend against the storm of blows. [music] Even so, he's forced to dodge multiple attacks coming from all directions. The projectiles merge, forming a creature called Banks, which lunges to attack him. A system notification appears, warning him that he's lost 30% of his HP and without his weapon can only passively defend by dodging. Suddenly, one of the clones appears above him, declaring, "Finally got you." Chenile is struck by one of the blows. Watching the scene, Boon states, "Death is approaching." Moments later, the young man is immobilized by a flurry of attacks that pin him in the air. At that instant, a sphere forms around him, shattering the chains that held him captive. Coldly, Bobin declares, "I'll find a good tomb for Chenule." Suddenly, a massive beam of light descended from the heavens, catching everyone off guard. The impact slammed into the ground with devastating force. Sali and Bobin's men stared at the scene, utterly shocked. Amidst the storm, Bobin and Chenille looked up, seeing a figure begin to form within the clouds. Ubé appeared and with a simple wave of his hand commanded everyone to stop. Under the rainy night sky, a voice told Cheng Le not to move. Meanwhile, Saly tended to the young man's wounds, apologizing for not even being able to apply the medicine properly. The storm intensified in the sky, accompanied by incessant [music] rain, even covered in wounds, Chenila remained standing. Just then, Ubri appeared, telling the young man that it was enough. Saly rushed to him, asking if he was all right. His answer came firm. Yes. despite his [music] condition. UB called them to leave, warning that the storm was closing in. However, Uban began to laugh as they prepared to leave. His laughter continued, laced with contempt as if he found the entire situation ridiculous. He taunted, questioning if the old man truly believed he could just show up and take them away. In response, Ubé called him arrogant, stating that if he hadn't blocked Chenille's attack, Bobin would already be defeated. Ubé directly asked if his opponent still intended to continue even after having already died once. Bobin retorted, questioning if he had truly been killed. He refused to believe that someone who awakened as a healer would be capable of killing him. His fury exploded as he yelled that if UB hadn't interfered, he would have killed Chenille long ago. At that moment, a system notification announced, "Mission complete with Boan's defeat. Map obtained." Surprised, Chenile wondered if the system truly considered that a victory. Without room for discussion, Ubé hurried the group, insisting they needed to leave before the storm worsened. Boon's men also warned him to retreat, saying that if the storm fully [music] hit, everything would be over. Still, Boon screamed for Chenile to return, claiming the victor hadn't been decided yet. His shouts continued, demanding they return and finish the fight while his own men tried to restrain him. Before leaving, Chenile looked back and watched his opponent in the rain. He wondered what was wrong with that red head and turning to UB [music] said he was going, emphasizing that the storm was coming. Later, safe in a shelter during the rainy night, a voice told Chenile not to move. Lying down and completely bandaged, he heard Saly ask for patience, assuring him everything would be ready soon. She then apologized for not being able to apply the medicine correctly while he moved. Embarrassed, Chenille apologized for bothering her and her grandfather. In response, she said she hadn't expected him to be so skilled. Curious, he asked if Bobin knew her as well as her grandfather Ubé. Saly revealed that she and Bobin grew up together like siblings, leaving Chenila visibly surprised. After that, she finished the treatment, announcing that all his wounds had been properly cared for. Sitting up on the bed, he sincerely thanked Saly. She replied that it should be her thanking him. Soon after, she stated that she needed to help her grandfather Ubé and that he could rest, to which Chenille agreed. As he was left alone, Chenilo wondered what might have happened to his mother and was sure she was worried about not finding him. Still, the conviction remained. He could return soon now that he possessed the mission map obtained after Boon's defeat. Analyzing the map, he concluded that he just needed to follow the signs, find the temple, and defeat the boss to be able to leave. The decision came swiftly. As soon as the rain stopped, he would depart. Just then, a system notification popped up. He'd obtained a hidden key. Curiosity peaked. He wondered what this key was for. The system quickly explained it was for opening treasure chests that randomly dropped during battles. Clutching the key, he finally understood its purpose. [music] Feeling refreshed, Chen Jila declared he'd be out of here soon. Amidst the pouring rain, Uber appeared at the door. Seeing him, the young man greeted, "Master Ubé is here." With a slight nod, the elder apologized for not coming sooner, explaining the rain had been too heavy. Chenji Lo replied, "It was fine." Then asked about UB's wound and the reason for his visit. The old man told him not to worry, assuring him it was just a superficial injury that would heal in a few days. He then confessed he truly hadn't expected the boy to win against Boan. Without hiding his sincerity, Chenile admitted that if Boan hadn't been so overconfident, he wouldn't [music] have stood a chance. Lighting his pipe, UB explained that a fight wasn't just about strength, but also will and technique. He concluded that victory had been won by sheer chance. Curiosity returned as the young man asked why Boon had become what he was today, especially since he and Salie grew up together. Ubé replied that was a long story. Before leaving, he stated that the storms would cease the next day and they would reach the mountain slope. Finally, the master promised to teach him, provided he [music] could pass his test. Ubé recalled that 10 years ago, it was raining heavily when he and little Salie arrived in Ladia. Passing a house, they discovered a strange creature had attacked the family living there. It was too late. The monster had already killed the man and woman. The family's child, however, had survived, persistently, asking what was wrong with his mother. Just then, the creature appeared on the rooftop, watching the boy. Without warning, it lunged at the boy, who screamed desperately for his mother. Uber appeared, and summoned a bolt of lightning. Faced with the attack, the monster recoiled, glared at its new opponent, then leaped, [music] fleeing into the forest. The boy kept calling for his mother while UB watched him in silence. That boy was Bob. After burying his parents, old Ubé took him in. Later, Chenila asked why Bobin had turned out that way. Ubé explained that the young man felt his life's purpose was to find the monster, while Ubé himself preferred a peaceful life. The elder stated that Latonaya harbored extremely powerful creatures, and not even he would dare claim he could kill the one that attacked Boon's family. Hearing this, Chenila [music] understood Boon's departure. Realizing that even Grandpa Ubé considered the monster a terrifying existence, UB stood up and advised the young man to rest as they would need to cross the desert to find the temple. He also acknowledged that with his current strength, the young man could have been killed by a monster before even reaching their destination. Chenula himself had been easily defeated in the last fight, even with attribute bonuses, forcing him to improve at all costs. At this, Chenula asked Grandpa Ubé to wait. The young man requested UB teach him to fight, stating his desire to grow stronger, to find the temple and leave this place. The old man's only reply was an invitation to rest. Still, the young man insisted, claiming he was serious and that there truly was a way for them to leave this place. Watching UB walk away, Chenille questioned himself, wondering if he'd been too impulsive. Standing in the rain, the elder told the young man to go to the hillside the next day once the storm passed. [music] If he could overcome the test, Ubé promised to teach him. Confident, Chenula guaranteed he would certainly pass. [music] UB felt the hope of leaving this place rekindled, remembering the power that had shattered his defenses. With that, he considered that perhaps this boy truly could get them all out of here. A notification for the quest destroy the slaughter appeared before Chenille. On the screen, the daily routine tasks were detailed. Weighted running, weighted push-ups, and sit-ups. Analyzing them, he recognized it was a devilish training regimen, but too important to give up. So, he accepted the task on the panel. The young man began his training running while carrying a heavy log. Next, he completed the sets of push-ups and sit-ups. He declared he hadn't felt like he had a goal to fight for in a long time, and now he was far more enthusiastic. Upon completing the grueling effort, he collapsed, [music] exhausted, to the ground, and received four attribute points for finishing the task. Lying on the grass, he began to ponder where he should distribute those four [music] points. Considering his healing and defense abilities, he decided to invest two points in intelligence and two in stamina. Suddenly, Sali's voice called his name. He asked why she was there, and the girl explained she'd brought breakfast as Grandpa Ubé had said he'd be in that spot. Curious, she asked why he wasn't dressed and if he'd been training, handing him the food. The young woman was surprised to learn that Grandpa Ubé had promised to teach him how to fight, and Chenile confirmed it. Saly exclaimed, "That was great, eager to see what kind of powers he'd develop." In response, Chenile asked if it was possible to awaken other abilities given his profession was a healer. She clarified that healer was just a profession. Elemental attributes were granted according to individual skills. Professions merely offered a direction for development, while attributes like her fire, Ubra's thunder, and Boan's shadow determined combat capabilities. Hearing this, Chenule mused about what kind of awakening he would have. Later, Uber explained that God created the races, quests, and professions of this world from elements, both visible, like water and fire, and invisible like light and shadow. The world was comprised of five continents. Polaris, where the human race gathered, served as a major trade hub. West of this territory, amidst active volcanoes, stood Megala, the homeland of the Dragon Knights. To the north stretched Zantho, [music] the continent of eternal winter, inhabited by giants and beasts and rich in minerals. To the east lay Bergamma, a vast region covered by a dense forest. To the south was Chubitic, the continent known for the dwarf's extraordinary forging skills. [music] Saly recounted the legend. Cross the sea and you could reach the gods abode receiving infinite power. For a long time, Chenula believed gods and the endless sea were just myths. But after arriving here, he began to consider they might be real. Convinced, he commented that finding the temple to leave Latinaya shouldn't be a myth either, and they would undoubtedly leave this place. [music] At his conviction, Saly simply nodded in agreement. At that moment, Uber approached, commenting he hadn't expected them both to be awake before him. With a teasing tone, the old man asked if Lily had confessed so quickly, but she quickly scolded him, telling him to stop talking nonsense. Then Uber turned to Chenilo and asked if he was prepared to accept the challenge. The young man met his gaze, declaring without hesitation, "I'm ready." Uber then explained that to utilize the strength of the elements, one must increase their perception. Concentrating, he began to prepare for the demonstration. According to the elder, one must experience the flow of elements and more, feel their very existence. A powerful energy erupted from the ground before them. The Elder revealed a habitat of teleporting beasts discovered by chance during a hunt. Next, [music] Ubé presented the Kuzil sword, his battle companion for decades. He explained he would activate the array in 3 days, and Chenglay's test would be to use the sword to kill the beast king and bring back its head. Uber warned him that the blade's true strength could only be unleashed after his elemental power awakened. He also cautioned that he might not return, and he could still back out. Without flinching, the young man gripped the sword, declaring, "I will never surrender." Turning away, he promised, "I'll return with the Beast King's head." At that instant, the Awakening with the Beast King quest activated, prompting for confirmation. Without hesitation, Chenula confirmed the mission. The time limit to complete the task was then set at 72 hours. Moments later, he was teleported to the location as Ubé watched from a distance. The old man mused that those orcs possessed incredible defensive power and the strength of the elements would come to the young man in his moments of greatest despair. Chenulo materializes at the mission site. Enveloped in a flash of light, he scans his surroundings, wondering why this landscape is so utterly different from the desert he expected. Shrugging off the confusion, he focuses on his task, locating the orc horde. He quickly realizes that taking down the boss at his current level will be a monumental challenge, so he'll need to clear out some smaller monsters first. Suddenly, a projectile screams past him. With a swift move, he evades the attack, which crashes into the ground. A chilling thought strikes him. Was he already noticed? He looks up, watching the approaching threat. The creature reveals itself as Dotham, Latinia's most elusive monster. A memory flashes. Even before his powers awaken, the sword [music] can still kill depending on how it's wielded. Determined, he grips the blade, ready to test its true power. As his combat experience soarses, Chenji Lelay charges forward, declaring, "I'm not that rookie player anymore." Dotham retaliates, lashing out with its tentacles. This time, Chenji Li feels no terror, but an intense fighting spirit. He realizes he can grow stronger by defeating prey and leveling up. Seizing the opening, he deflects the creature's tentacles with his sword. Using the momentum, he launches himself skyward. He hurdles towards the monster, fueled by the thrill of leveling up. Midair, the young man prepares for the final blow. With unwavering resolve, he spins the sword in his hands. In a precise vertical strike, he shatters the creature in two. Victory secured, he gains experience points and attributes. But his triumph is short-lived as a surging horde of creatures materializes before him. Elsewhere, Sali confronts UB, demanding to know why he sent the boy into the beast's habitat, a place even UB himself had never dared to venture. The old man simply replies, "I'm taking a trip to the city. Have dinner ready when I get back." Salely watches her grandfather walk away, a knot of unease tightening in her stomach. His answer was far too vague. Under the brutal moonlight, Chenji lay roared, "This isn't enough." With every ounce of his strength, he slammed into a giant creature, then unleashed his energy in a devastating, worldshattering strike. The sheer power of that blow made Bob real, wondering how he could have possibly lost to him. The energy blast hit him headon. Yet the question of how he was defeated still haunted him. He couldn't comprehend how a priest without an awakened element could possess such terrifying attack power. Power that made him tremble. The memory of barely containing that strike returned. A move he'd never even seen Ubé use. Alone. Buban pondered Chenille, beginning to question who he truly was. In the relentless battle, Chenille slaughtered a Dotham and leveled up. Without a moment's rest, he kept pushing forward, carving through creatures all around him. More monsters fell, and his level surged again. A notification flashed, informing him he had leveled up once more. Another message congratulated him for reaching level 25, announcing that the pharmacy was unlocked, and he had 45 attribute points. The system then asked if he wished to use 15 levels to unlock the pharmacy. Realizing that the levels he'd earned with such blood and sweat would be consumed, he felt a jolt of irritation. Chenilo understood that each new upgrade would be harder and the cost to unlock future items would only skyrocket. The screen also showed that unlocking different shop categories like weapons and armor required consuming levels. The real shock came when he noticed the home appliances category cost 300 levels. He concluded that while accumulating levels was the best long-term option, his immediate priority was to kill the beast king and ensure his own survival through medicine. The pharmacy menu displayed various types of medicine, including recovery, buffs, and speed. Two options caught his eye. A recovery item called Berserk Feather and a buff known as Clums Burning Tears. Upon closer inspection, he realized they's medicine regenerated based on percentages, making recovery more effective at higher levels. determined, he unlocked the pharmacy using 15 levels. Notifications informed him that the item requirement was level eight, while his current level was two. At that moment, he declared, "Now two lives are on the line." Immediately after, he turned towards a loud bang. After expending most of his energy in combat, he decided to buy food from the convenience store, which would leave him with only one level remaining. The food would reduce his hunger, and he deemed the cost worthwhile. As he ate the bread, he found it tough and remembered Lily's was far more delicious. A notification popped up. 12 hours had passed with 60 remaining until the mission's completion. He recalled Ubé mentioning that the monster group resided northwest, where he would likely find the herb. Then, a system reminder urged him to use his 45 unallocated attribute points. Only then did he realize he'd forgotten about them and began to ponder how to best utilize them. His strength and agility had improved, but his MP and defense remained low, potentially compromising future skill damage. The risk of low HP was facing an enemy that wouldn't give him time to use potions. The situation felt like a university exam, one he could only take once. Still, accumulated levels could be converted into attribute points to achieve [music] desired combat effects. With this in mind, he decided to allocate 15 points to constitution, [music] 15 to strength, and the remainder across defense, agility, and magic. Decision made, all that remained was to find the lair and complete the trial. Worried, Saly questioned UB for allowing Chenula to be sent to such a dangerous lair. She found him working the land. Calmly, the old man reassured her, explaining he'd left a mark on the sword and would save him if he was in danger. Still uneasy, the young woman asked again why her grandfather had sent him there, as she'd never heard him mention being there himself. Uber clarified that he'd only discovered the lair by chance during a hunt. He then informed Lily he'd be traveling to the city and asked for meals to be ready upon his return. Sally watched her grandfather, sensing his answer was overly evasive. Without another word, the old man turned and went his way. Deep down, he knew the only way to try and make Chenji Le give up was to confront him with the truth of that world. Even knowing it was an almost impossible task, he still hoped the young man would bring back the beast king's head. For Ure, if that happened, everyone would see Chenille as the one capable of leading them out of this place. After walking for about 3 hours, Chenille continued exploring the region. Logically, he concluded the lair couldn't be far. Just then, screams for help echoed in the distance. A woman appeared, running desperately towards him, carrying a child in her arms. Surprised, [music] he wondered how a woman and child had made it here and rushed forward to help them. Trying to calm her, he told her not to be afraid and asked what had happened. She replied that there were monsters and begged him to save them. Ahead of them, a giant imposing creature emerged. Immediately after, a man appeared before Chenji Lelay and commented on the young man's prowess. A panel flashes describing the demonic beast, slowm moving with formidable defense, high [music] destructive power, and immense vitality. Immediately after, the profile of the wild orc chief appears. Level 40, a trainer capable of summoning and controlling giant beasts to lead attacks. Chengi Lelay warns that this enemy's level far surpasses their last encounter, possessing the same predatory intelligence as other monsters. Because of this, [music] he orders the others to fall back. Still, he points out the good news. If the orcs are in this region, their lair can't be far. At the same time, he wonders if the woman and boy are new arrivals, transported here just like him and his grandfather. The woman clutches the child to her chest while the young man's gaze remains fixed on them both. Kneeling before her, he assures her there's no reason to fear, for he will protect them. The orc chief begins to insult him repeatedly, snarling, "You insect! You stupid, ignorant, weak, insolent creature." A chilling memory surfaces. The man who killed him in the past had also called him an insect. The enemy then orders his beasts, "Stretch your necks, my beasts. Savor the pleasure of chewing your prey." One of the creatures roars, "Charge! Shred these worms and have fun with it." Without a moment's hesitation, Chenilo charges forward, attacking the first creature in an instant. A flurry of rapid blows slams into the monster's body. Under the force of the continuous impacts, the creature is forced to recoil. With a final move, the enormous beast is launched skyward. Without hesitation, Chenille moves onto the next opponent. As he advances, he comments, "They're much stronger than before." The orc watches the young man stand amidst the fallen monsters. Seeing this, he turns to the largest creature and orders it, "Kill him!" Even so, that monster also crashes to the ground, defeated. Enraged, the orc chief screams at his last remaining subordinate, calling him useless, he snarls, "You useless fool. Get out of my way. I'll kill him myself." Suddenly, a blade appears before the chief's face. ChenjiV orders him, "Drop your weapon and don't move or your head will roll." Turning to the other orc, he points his sword at its neck and demands, "Why are you hunting?" The orc declares, "I am a servant of a god. If you kill me, a curse will fall upon you. Without a flicker of hesitation, Chen Jilo cuts him down with his sword. Then he warns, "Next time, the blade will be your answer and demands," where is the lair? The orc points to a distant mountain range and replies, "It's located there." Blackstone Mountain is confirmed as the beast's lair. The chief glares at the young man with a defiant look. Suddenly, he lunges towards the woman and child. Grabbing them both, he threatens, "I'll slowly break your necks and suck your blood." With explicit cruelty, he declares, "That's exactly what I'll do." At high speed, the protagonist and bros charge forward together, leaving multiple after images. The orc chief is struck from all sides simultaneously. His image seems to freeze as if trapped in a frame before he sent flying through the air. A blonde man approaches him, praising him as a skilled fighter. Meanwhile, a woman helps the mother and child, asking who they are and how they got there. She learns that three days ago, the blonde man and his companion were transported to this place and attacked by orcs. He then followed the tracks until he found the protagonist. The man then introduces himself as Bros, a warrior, extending his hand in greeting. Bros then introduces the hooded youth as Feloka, the assassin. [music] Pointing to the woman beside him, he identifies her as Raquel, the healer. The young man shakes his hand and introduces himself as Chen Gileiao, asking to be called just Gileia. Curious, Browse asks if he knows why they were all transported to this place. Gileia replies that he doesn't know, but his gaze falls on the fallen orc. He then adds, believing the orc might know something. The surviving orc lies sprawled on the ground. The group gathers around him, and the creature demands, "What are you doing?" He screams, calling them worms for disrespecting a god and declaring they will all die for it. Someone calls him by the name Ratchidler, making him react instantly. Chengillo sits before Rashidler and warns him he has some questions. In a cold tone, he advises him to behave and answer, "Unless you want to die." As Feloka binds the orc's hands, the others gather further back. With the prisoner finally secured, the group decides their next destination will be the lair. Ratchidler insists he's telling the truth, begging them to believe him. He claims to have already revealed everything he knows. He screams, emphasizing that given his position in the tribe, this is all the knowledge he possesses, and that a god brought them here to be food. He reiterates that he is in this place only by divine will and knows absolutely nothing else. In a grand hall in the city of Delks, someone challenges a man. Have you lost your mind? Seated on the throne, the ruler confronts him, asking how he can still be so naive after all these years. The other retorts, wanting to know what the point of finding the temple would be. Hicks, the elemental wind mage, intervenes, stating they cannot defeat the guardian monsters and that he's placing his hopes in a boy who doesn't even master the elements. An elder advises him to immediately go and kill the boy, warning that the entire settlement will be in danger if the gods are enraged. He continues, saying that after that they can go to the gods and beg for forgiveness. The [music] mage retorts, questioning if it isn't ridiculous that the god they speak of would massacre them on a whim, treating them like worms. The elder coldly replies that sacrificing ignorant lives doesn't matter, for the innocent villagers still see them as heroes. He then accuses Hicks of merely showing weakness, doing nothing to prevent others from dying. Surprised, the mage asks, "What did you just say?" Tension mounts as the old man prepares to strike with his hand. Hicks reacts, [music] launching a blow and shouts, "I'll send you to the gods right now." Meanwhile, Chenila's group discusses that they don't know what kind of beasts they'll encounter on the way to the lair. The young man emphasizes that the journey certainly won't be safe. They take a brief pause as Feloka finishes binding the prisoner. Bros explains that Raquel, besides being a healer, can also use magic to create barriers and amplify elemental forces, which is why she must stay to protect the others. She agrees and assures them she will keep the area safe until they return. With everything set, Chenila announces they will now head for the lair. Rachidler tries to dissuade them, warning that the superior beasts will devour them. The young man questions if he fears that by guiding them there, he'll end up devoured, too. The prisoner reacts with pride, stating he's not an orc who fears death. Even so, he refuses to continue, shouting, "I won't go. You'll die alone." Further ahead, a grim sight awaited them. A passage choked with bones and skeletons. Orcs emerged, [music] dragging a massive cage filled with human prisoners deeper into the cavern. They presented their grim cargo to their king, reporting it was all the food they'd found, awaiting further orders. Suddenly, one of the orcs began to freeze solid. He and the other guards were completely immobilized. A mage materialized before the prisoners, attempting to reassure them, promising to free them. He then joined other heroes, rallying them to slay the monsters and escape together. For him, it was unforgivable that so many innocents had been slaughtered for selfish reasons. With a furious roar, he declared to the beast, "You will pay in blood for your deeds." Immediately after, he unleashed a volley of sharp projectiles towards the throne. The attack surged directly at the king. However, the projectiles froze midair, halted before reaching their target. The mage reacted with stunned surprise. His body was then lifted from the ground. Immobilized by an unseen force, he began to float helplessly in the air. Meanwhile, the other heroes questioned what was happening, watching him held captive like that. An invisible pressure coursed through the mage's body, holding him utterly paralyzed. From his throne high above, the beast king stared at him with chilling indifference. The force crushing the conjurer's body intensified gradually. Suddenly, his body disintegrated in a massive explosion. The blast wave slamming into the other heroes. The survivors watched in horror, covered in wounds. Beast King Fineir, level 85, remained impassively seated on his throne of bones. Outside, Rose landed a precise kick on one of the creatures. Feloka grabbed another monster from behind, immobilizing it. Chenule took his stance, ready for combat. One of the beasts charged directly at him, and without hesitation, he met its assault, delivering a flurry of repeated slashes. Rashidler observed the fight, marveling at the group's genius. He then noted that the young man seemed even stronger than before. This made Chenila begin to question his true identity. He realized that as they neared the cavern, the beasts and their attacks grew more potent. However, the experience needed to level up increased at the same rate. Thus, he noted that the group's progression was slow and they needed to gain levels much faster. Bros approached, asking if Chenile wasn't yet accustomed to the battle's intensity. He commented that the beasts were slow but incredibly tough to kill and he'd never seen anyone defeat them so easily without mastering elemental power. He added that the young man seemed to be exactly the person he was destined to meet. Impressed, Bros showed his admiration and invited him to join the group. Chengile Lelay questioned the idea of forming a team. Bros then leaned in with a grin, offering to introduce him to Beautiful Girls, but the young man already anticipated his words. In response, Chen Gilele reminded him that Bros had claimed to be the only member of the group. Brushing it off, Bros. urged them to keep moving forward, while Chenile simply called him a chatterbox. Feloka points ahead, declaring it must be the cave entrance. The three prepare to move forward. The group stops before the massive entrance to the monster's lair. Cheng Lei turns to ask the orc if it's truly the entrance. At that instant, he notices the rope lying on the ground and the prisoner gone. Bros comments that the orc escaped while they were fighting. Rashidler bolts into the cave's darkness. He plans to warn the king about the human invasion, hoping for a reward. [music] Despite this, the group enters the cave, confirming they've reached the right place. Bros remarks that the [music] distinct smell of orcs confirms the prisoner didn't lie, announcing he'll lead the way. Further in, they encounter an entrance surrounded by enormous skulls. Chenula observes, "It's strange they haven't seen any orcs, even after walking for so long." Bros then tells everyone to observe the path ahead. Before them, a fork appears, splitting into three distinct passages. Bros suggests they'll need to split up. In response, Chenille reveals the fire gate in his hand. He explains that the three will split up and use a spell to call for help if they find a clue or are in danger. Bros chooses the left path for himself. Chenille takes the right and Feloka follows the middle one. Before they depart, he reminds them to use the tot spell if anything goes wrong. Thus, each takes his respective path. Chenille advances alone through his passage. The need to level up quickly to reach the top becomes clear, but no orcs appear along the way. Faced with the eerie silence, he braces himself for whatever comes next. A presence approaches. A creature emerges, stepping beside the body of a person fallen on the ground. Without hesitation, the monster begins to devour the remains. Further ahead, Chenule observes several of them feeding among scattered bones. The status window reveals they are level 47 necroofage demons, abandoned spirits with a terrifying bite. rarely appearing alone. Recognizing the danger, the young man prepares for battle. Aware he's facing real demons. In moments, he finds himself surrounded by dozens of creatures within a vast skeleton-filled cavern. Ratchetler bows before Master Finel's throne. He reports that three worms infiltrated but were separated into distinct traps. The master listens in silence as the orc concludes that by now they must have been torn to shreds by the necrofage demons. Back in the cave, a demon lunges at Chenule. He quickly assesses the situation. These ghoul demons hit weak but swarm in huge numbers, offering a decent chunk of experience. With a flurry of rapid strikes, he takes down 10 demons, earning 20,000 experience points. But he soon realizes that picking them off one by one is incredibly inefficient. Still, he keeps fighting, knowing he needs to act fast to hit his goal. Eliminate 30 demons [music] for 60,000 experience within the time limit. Then with a single devastating blow, he wipes out a 100 demons, netting 200,000 experience points. A notification pops up congratulating him on eliminating 99 ghoul demons and reaching level 14. It also informs him that upon reaching level 50, he'll unlock three skills. The first available skill is Holy Light Condemnation, which can restore health and deal area of effect holy damage. The second option is Divine Destruction, an instant attack against multiple enemies that also recovers some health. The third is divine action which boosts movement speed and restores health with every enemy defeated though it has a cool down. Chenji Lelay wonders if he can pick two professional skills but the decision feels incredibly tough. Analyzing the options he notes that divine action combined with holy light condemnation is interesting. While divine destruction alongside divine action offers a double recovery effect. He concludes that melee attacks with healing effects could boost his speed and help him close in on enemies more efficiently. However, he realizes Holy Light's short range isn't ideal for restoring his vitality unless he's close enough to his targets. Faced with this, he decides to go with divine action and divine destruction. A notification warns him that by making this choice, he'll have to completely abandon holy light condemnation. For a moment, he questions if his companions face the same dilemma, but quickly concludes they're safe since the magic circle in his hand hasn't issued any warnings. More demons begin to emerge from the cave walls. Knowing he can't stop now, he charges into the horde of creatures. Meanwhile, Braz's foot ignites with flames as he activates an attack known as Hellfire Rift. With a stomp on the ground, a fiery eruption bursts forth beneath his enemies. The demons are instantly consumed by the inferno. Shortly after, a sound echoes through the area, making Bros wonder if someone is singing. The surrounding creatures seem paralyzed by the melody. He then spots a path littered with fallen monsters, leading to a distant silhouette. A blindfolded woman emerges amidst the musical notes. Bros accuses her of controlling the ghoul demons to attack him and threatens, "I'll burn you to ashes." She merely stares back with a serene smile. Shadowy hands erupt from the ground and sees him. In that instant, Bros realizes it's hair song that's keeping him from moving. The woman slowly approaches as he demands, "What are you doing?" [music] She leans over him and purr. "It's been a long time since I last tasted fresh meat." Her claw tears into his side. As she grips his face, Bros wonders if he's about to die such a humiliating death. Something streaks between them at high speed. The woman is struck, sent flying. Free from the shadowy grip, Braz regains his movement. Chenjulu appears before him, asking, "Did I make it in time?" Surprised, the woman demands, "How did the ghouls fail to kill you?" He throws the question back, pointing behind him. "Were you talking about him?" On the ground, a demon's head slowly rolls. The woman steps on the defeated creature, stating, "That was the best of my ghouls, yet you killed it with ease." She stands over the monster's corpse. Then she begins to sing, unleashing sonic waves that ripple outwards. Bros shouts a warning to Chenule, "Don't listen to her." But the young man is engulfed by the waves, paralyzed by the necromancer's song. Confident, the woman declares, "This time, neither of you can move." Chenille activates divine action, shattering the spell. With a sneer, he comments, "Your singing is terrible." Bros watches, impressed by the young man's power when a different sound catches his attention. Both start to hear a persistent buzzing. Chenji Lay's palm begins to glow, and he realizes the woman is in danger. A malevolent creature, the infernal python lust, unleashes an immense blast of fire. Feloka recognizes the power gap is too vast. Defeating it would be impossible. Faced with this, he knows he can't withstand the imminent attack. The blast strikes him headon, slamming him violently against the rock wall. He collapses to the ground, utterly drained of strength to fight on. The python lunges for the final blow. The young man's reflection glinting in its eyes. In that instant, a mysterious figure suddenly lands before Feloka, shielding him. Chengle stands before him, his weapon ready for battle. The creature recoils, facing its new adversary. With a single swift movement, the young man charges, striking the serpent and instantly defeating the infernal python. After the victory, Chenille turns to his companion, sprawled on the ground. He apologizes to Foka, explaining, "We arrived a little late." Gasping, Feloka admits Chenile's undeniable strength. Bros helps him up, explaining that the paths he and Chenile had taken were traps, and this was the true entrance to the Beastman's nest. The hooded woman simply calls out her companion's name. Bros asks Feloka if he's okay. And the young man replies affirmatively, assuring him, "I won't die." Still aruck, Feloka comments, "that giant serpent was too powerful, like a monster from legends." Braz muses aloud, "Wouldn't [music] the beast king annihilate us in seconds if we faced him?" Chenilele corrects him, stating, "The true enemy isn't the beast king, but fear itself." He continues, arguing that fear on the battlefield only leads to death, questioning, "How can we face even stronger creatures in the future?" Then then he reminds them of their companions. Firmly he declares, "I will fight to the very end for freedom, even if only a breath of life remains." Suddenly, the defeated serpent began to stir. It rose again, even larger and more menacing than before. Chenjule surged forward, shouting for them to fight together. The trio braced themselves, ready to charge into battle. Bros leaped towards the creature, telling Chenille to let him go first. He loudly taunted the giant worm, demanding its attention. With a flurry of kicks, he assaulted the serpent's body. The creature retaliated, preparing its counterattack and unleashing a powerful blow from its mouth. Meanwhile, Chenzi lay focused, readying his elemental powers. Feloka decided he wouldn't be a burden any longer. Resolving to give his all this time, he extended his hand and unleashed Kitigarba's palm. The attack surged towards the serpent, immobilizing it by the neck. Bros roared Chenulo's name while his companion watched the scene with absolute focus. Then Chenula leaped into the air, raising his sword high. He descended, [music] delivering a devastating blow to the monster's head. A notification flashed, revealing the infernal python's flame armor had taken 20% damage. Chenile adjusted his grip on the sword, preparing for another assault. With a swift spin, he began to strike the creature repeatedly. The armor's damage climbed to 30, then 50%. The relentless barrage of attacks pushed the wear to 80%. Finally, the armor shattered completely. With the opening exposed, Chenilo prepared to deliver the final blow to the creature's head. With a powerful spinning motion, he executed the decisive strike. The blade tore through the serpent's body. After completing the strike, he landed on the ground. Bros cheered, declaring the creature finally dead. A notification announced the infernal fire python had been defeated, granting 200,000 experience points. Another window popped open, revealing the acquisition of the secret item, Infernal Fire Gloves. Chenula meticulously examined the attributes of his new gear. The system prompted him, asking if he wished to equip the item. Without hesitation, Chenula equipped the infernal fire gloves. Braz remarked that despite being separated for only a few hours, Chen seemed to have undergone a massive transformation. With a simple command, the gloves appearance vanished from his hands. Suddenly, the entire cave began to shake. From the shadows of the passage, Rashidler emerged. Chenjule and Braz took defensive stances [music] against the new enemy. The orc charged, attacking both of them simultaneously. Chenulo was sent flying by the force of the blow. Braz stood over the defeated orc, demanding to know why he surrendered. Richard explained he'd gotten lost, and the beast king must have activated the traps. Hearing about the traps, Cheng Le remarked, "It was no wonder they had encountered so many monsters along the way." The orc then got up, claiming they were lucky to still be alive. In response, Bros kicked him, demanding to be led to the beast king. Richard agreed to show them the entrance. Bros then threatened him, warning that any tricks would be severely punished. Ratchidler mumbled a few words under his breath. Before them, a massive stone door slowly began to open. The group faced the imposing entrance leading to the main hall. On a stormy night, lightning tore across the sky, illuminating it for a brief instant. From his window, Ubra watched the relentless rain fall. Nearby, Boban approached a cabinet that had remained sealed for a long time. Opening it, he revealed a full suit of armor stored inside. Ubé remarked that after so much hesitation, Ban had finally found the courage to do it. Bob replied that both he and Sal had always been curious about that battle armor. The old man suggested that what was sealed within wasn't just metal, but the very desire to leave that place. Bobin then revealed he'd heard talk of forming a team to find the monster that killed his parents. Firmly, he declared his desire to join the group and asked if this time he wouldn't be stopped. Back in the cave, the group advanced down the corridor. Bros warned Rashidler not to try any tricks, and Chenile reinforced the threat, making it clear he'd kill him if there was any betrayal. The orc in turn assured them the beastman's nest hall was just ahead. Next, Chenila questioned him about the whereabouts of the captured people. Ratchidler replied he knew this place very well. Hearing this, Chendula instructed Braz to take Feloka and follow the orc to rescue their companions. Braz, however, questioned if that wouldn't slow them down and warned him not to think he was invincible just because he'd saved them before. The protagonist [music] refused the idea of splitting up. At that moment, the system issued two warning alerts. A quest appeared, detecting an unknown boss and stating a survival chance of only 10%. The protagonist pondered [music] the absurdly low rate even after all his efforts to level up. Veloa noticed the change in his expression and asked what was happening. Chen Drew Lo downplayed the situation, saying it was nothing and instructed them to warn their companions while he faced the beast king alone. Bros immediately refused the order, stating he would never abandon a comrade in such a dangerous situation. Chenjali then warned him that the monster ahead was far stronger than they imagined and the chance of victory was minimal. Bros retorted, saying they'd all be dead if it weren't for him, and he wouldn't run regardless of the odds. Bros remembered how he'd always handled everything alone and how it made him feel isolated. Now, however, he realized he wasn't alone anymore. Rashidler pointed ahead, indicating the great hall was just beyond, but pleaded [music] to stay behind, fearing the beast king would kill him. Ignoring the orc's plea, the trio prepared to enter. Bros commented to Chenilo, "If you want to die, that's your problem, but I'm not planning on it." Together, [music] they crossed the threshold and entered the vast imposing hall. The place was utterly empty, wrapped in an unsettling silence. At the far end, a solitary throne stood out in the vast hall. The lack of guards caught Chenilo<unk>'s attention. He turned to Rachidler, asking where the beast king was, trying to grasp what was truly happening. Suddenly, the stone doors behind them began to close. Chenille and bras spun around, noticing the sudden movement. The passage sealed shut, sending Richidler into a panic as he realized it was a trap. In that instant, Feloka was hoisted into the air by an invisible force and Braz yelled his name. Spinning around, Chenji Lelay saw his comrade under attack. On the throne, Beast King Fineir, level 85, finally revealed himself. Then, [music] Feloka was struck by a devastating blow. Without hesitation, Chenille charged the enemy. With a leap, he attacked the Beast King with his sword. [music] The blow, however, was blocked by an invisible barrier. Determined to break through, he pressed his blade against the magical shield. The barrier reacted, repelling the attack completely. The impact hurled him back, but he landed safely. Meanwhile, Feloka collapsed unconscious from the blow. Bros rushed to him, catching him before he hit the ground. Desperate, he asked if his comrade was okay, but received no answer. Witnessing the scene, Cheng Lelay wondered how long the beast king had been sitting on that throne. The enemy then smirked, revealing he had nullified the attack with absolute ease. Despite Braz's plea not to overexert himself, Feloka, wielding a massive stone weapon, yelled, "It's fine. We have to keep fighting." The young man charged first with BRZ right behind him, racing towards the enemy. From his throne, the Beast King calmly watched their [music] assault, protected by his defense. Brass's attack was stopped by the barrier, the impact flinging him high into the air. Next, Feloka charged, striking the barrier with all his might, but the Beast King remained utterly still. Chenille was also repelled by the enemy's defense. Yet, without retreating, he charged back into the fight and with a devastating blow struck the Beast King's throne directly. The impact shattered the throne and broke the barrier in a single move, surprising even Chenle with the unexpected result of his attack. With a cruel smile, the beast king glared at his opponents. Raising his hands, he began to prepare a new attack. While Chen and Brs took defensive stances, [music] bracing for impact, an energy sphere blasted towards them. The explosion hit Bros headon, sent Feloka crashing to the ground wounded and dragged Chenille backward despite his partial defense. In the distance, Rashidler cheered, exalting his master's power. Witnessing the scene, Chenila recognized the enemy's offensive might. Bros managed to get up and seeing his comrade fallen behind him asked, "Feloka, are you okay?" The young man confirmed. Despite his injuries, Chenila then wondered what the adversar's true ability could be. The beast king began to laugh, his cackle echoing across the battlefield, mocking his struggling opponents. With a sneer, he called them ridiculous insects and declared he would play around a bit with them. Shrouded in mist, the beast king rose and in the next instant vanished completely. Chenji Lei was startled by his disappearance, recognizing the ability and immediately yelled for Bros to be careful. In a flash, the beast king appeared behind Bros., the young man spun around to face the threat, but a swift blow struck his chest. Still, BRZ tried to retaliate with a punch, but the attack was intercepted with extreme ease. With a precise kick, the beast king blocked any further reaction, leaving Bros unable to move, then stomped down on him with full force. Feloka screamed his companion's name in despair. The Beast King realized Chenilo had pulled Bros away just before the final stomp, then ordered Feloka to take care of him. Bros apologized to Chenilo for being a burden, but Chenila, dismissing it, told him to leave the rest to him. Consumed by rage, Chenilo declared, "I'm going to kill that bastard." The Beast King commented, "This is just an appetizer." Shenzhul wondered if the enemy would use the same move again. Immediately after, the Beast King lunged forward with an incredibly powerful punch. The impact slammed directly into Chenzulo<unk>'s defense, who managed to block the attack using his gauntlet. Firmly, Chenilu stated that while he might be helpless against certain abilities, he was not inferior in agility or strength. A massive explosion erupted at the point of impact. Watching the scene, Feloka commented, "Chengile actually withstood that monster's attack." [music] Bros, for his part, admitted, "Even if I trained for another 10 years, I might never be able to face him." Surprised, the beast king observed that a mere worm had managed to withstand his blow and found the situation interesting. He then declared that a worm's resistance only fueled his excitement. With a deafening roar, he unleashed a devastating attack, aiming to send his opponent straight to hell. Even under the energy blast, Chenili stood firm, declaring, "You can save your surprise for when your head gets cut off." And vowing to return everything that had been done to his friends. At that moment, the divine blessing skill activates. Chendula immediately charges forward, his sword flashing. Moving at blinding speed, he closes in on the enemy and with a furious roar strikes a blow in Foca's name. The attack lands directly on the Beast King's head. Then he strikes again, this time for bras before leaping into the air, preparing his sacred cut. The force of the blow sends the beast king's crown flying. Without his crown, the enemy stares at Chen Gilelay, revealing his true face. He watches intently, bracing for the next move. With a lightning strike, he attacks his opponent headon. The attack hits dead center, causing a small explosion and shattering the ground around them. In that instant, Chenilo dedicates the blow to all the innocent people. His companions watch the scene unfold while Rachidler gasps in awe at such immense power. Suddenly, another explosion erupts where the enemy stood, and the beast king emerges from the rubble, completely unharmed, sporting a terrifying new look. Rashidler recognizes his master's elemental power and declares, "We're all doomed." Chenile, however, wonders if this is truly his adversar's elemental power. Then, the enemy fully reveals himself in his new, far more powerful form. The beast king extends his hand, uttering a silent command. In response, a creature charges forward at incredible speed and in the next instant multiplies, forming a pack of wolves. The sovereign of beasts then summons a massive staff made of bones. Chenule tries to counterattack, but he's hit dead on, left completely immobilized by the overwhelming force, giving him no time to react. The beast king prepares another attack, this time summoning a colossal shadowy creature. Immobilized, Chenile admits he can no longer move his body, having used all his skills, wondering if this is truly the end. At that moment, a masked creature appears before him and attacks at lightning speed. The blow sends Chenille flying backward. Continuing the assault, the enemy unleashes brutal blows, leaving him utterly exhausted. The young man collapses to the ground, his opponent looming over him. Then the creature manifests two gleaming sithes [music] and with utter contempt declares, "A useless insect deserves to be trampled to death. Accept [music] your fate." Lying defeated, Chenji wonders if this is truly the end. Memories flood back, voices calling him an insect. Despising him, he pushes against the ground, struggling to rise. In that instant, he remembers a woman calling his name, pleading for the little boy to come home. Back in the present, a new strength awakens within him. The loca and brows watch, stunned as Chenille transforms. An unprecedented energy engulfs his body. He rises completely, utterly transformed, gripping his sword with unwavering resolve. A voice calls out to Chenille, urging him to awaken. He finds himself floating in an empty, silent void. Confused, he wonders what's happening. His last memory being the fight against the Beast King. As he surveys the unfamiliar surroundings, he starts to question if he's already dead. The answer comes immediately. He isn't dead. Before Chen Gilele, a mysterious man appears, also floating in the void, and calls him by name. Surprised, [music] the young man asks, "How do you know my name? Who are you?" The man replies that he too wishes he knew who he truly was. He explains he was already in this place when he awoke and has lost all sense of time since then. Still, he remembers a voice that echoed in his mind, saying that in the future, someone would take him away from here. According to him, all signs point to that person being Chenji Lelay. Demanding more clarity, the young man asks, "What do I need to do to get out of here?" The man extends his hand and asks him to accept him. Then he kneels, pleading for Chenule to become his master. The young man listens intently as the stranger explains that the voice in his mind said that as long as he supported this person, both of them could leave this place immediately. Once more, he asks Chenile to accept him as his master. Without hesitation, the young man agrees, urging him to hurry and get him out. The man smiles and they shake hands. The moment they agreed, an intense energy surged between them. Back in the battle arena, Chenulele faces his opponent. He remarks that the guy didn't lie. He really did return. Immediately after, he feels a new power surging from his body and wonders if it's a result of that man's support. A notification appears. You have obtained chaotic elemental power. Understanding the message, he realizes this is his new element. The masked creature observes the scene, questioning how he appears unharmed, realizing with discomfort that the young man seems even stronger than before. Another notification appears. Your abilities have been reinforced. You have acquired the elemental ability extinguish. The extinguish ability consumes 90% of your HP to activate a special mode, draining 100 HP per minute. The newly acquired elemental power also reveals the attributes of the equipped weapon, Ozul. At this moment, Chenille realizes that his grandfather UB's sword always needed elemental power to be activated, as it had never displayed attributes before. Gripping the sword firmly, he declares, "Now that I've activated it, I can finally begin my counterattack." Advancing towards the enemy, he radiates absolute confidence. The masked creature reacts, questioning, "How dare a mere insect challenge me? Do you truly believe you're on my level?" Without a word, Chenulay attacks at high speed. Forced to [music] retreat, the creature prepares to launch a new attack. Refusing to accept the possibility of defeat, it decides to use all its strength to shatter [music] him. Chengile activates elemental flash and unleashes a devastating sequence of blows. The masked being is struck repeatedly, reacting with impossible. At that very moment, the extinguish ability takes effect, tearing deep wounds across its back. A notification appears. 90% of your HP has been consumed. Then the body of Beast King Fineir begins to disintegrate in the air. In mere moments, the opponent is utterly annihilated by the attack. A message appears congratulating Chenila for defeating Beast King Fineir and granting him experience along with a level up. Finally, another notification confirms the quest completion, rewarding him with additional experience and a black treasure chest, a peaceful village nestled among the mountains. Uber scolds Bob for slacking off, but the young man defends himself, claiming he's just a bit rusty. Sitting by a tree, Saly asks her grandfather if Chenille will be back soon. Ubra gazes up at the sky, remarking [music] that three days have already passed. Suddenly, the ground begins to tremble, and a wave of energy erupts on the horizon. Urab shields himself from the impact, wondering what it could be. Boan rushes over, asking the old man what's happening. Saly sprints to them, distressed, [music] asking if her grandfather was all right and what had happened. Ubé explains that such energy waves appear when highlevel monsters are annihilated and this one originated from the beastmen's nest. With that, he concludes that Chenule has awakened his elemental power and slain the beast king. Meanwhile, a pillar of energy bursts forth from inside a cave, intensely illuminating the entire area. Rididler states in disbelief that his lord was truly murdered by Chenile. Feloka remarks that it would be hard to believe someone so powerful existed if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes. Bros, for his part, speaks of the terrifying combat power that just erupted. Wondering if Chenille had been hiding his true strength all along. Chenile himself can barely believe he defeated such a formidable enemy, but he asserts that the man who granted him power is the truly terrifying being. Feloka approaches and asks why he's moving away, reminding him that the battle is already won. Chenula replies that he's fine and will rescue their companions, asking them to wait since they are injured. Suddenly, a small creature leaps onto his face, calling [music] him daddy. Surprised, the young man questions the reason for that name. He then orders Rackadler to lead them to the other prisoners, and the orc readily agrees. As he walks, Chenila reflects that despite the victory, he still carries many questions about the old man and how all of this happened. He begins to suspect someone is orchestrating all these events, and the doubt grows, leading him to question the true reason behind it all. Suddenly, his body began to unravel. Uber held him in his arms, the old man watching silently as the young man called out to him. Chenille then declared, "I've completed the mission." Suddenly, Chenile jolted awake in his bed, a voice urging him to get up. His mother walked in, asking if he planned to sleep all day since it was already noon. Confused, he called out to her, wondering if he had truly made it back. She mentioned she'd already finished making his favorite dishes. Watching her tidy the room, he called her name again. Then, unable to hold back his emotions, he hugged her tightly, shouting, "I'm home." A voice questioned what he was doing. Boan held him, surprised by the embrace. Now sitting on the bed, Chenule asked what he was doing there. While Boan stared at him, confused, questioning the sudden hug, Boban explained he'd promised the old man he'd look after him, but made it clear he still wanted a fight when the time came. He told Chenile to stay put and left to inform Ure and Saly. Alone in the room, he stared at his own hand, concluding it had all been a dream. Yet, he vividly remembered seeing Grandpa Ubé at the very end. Clutching his head, he began to wonder about Bros and Feloka's whereabouts. A notification popped up informing him of a locked safe in his backpack along with unassigned level points, recommending they be used as soon as possible. He remembered receiving a key after defeating Boan and decided to use it to open the safe. A system message confirmed the keys successful use and the activation of the mysterious [music] safe. Various items were obtained, including boots, chest plates, gloves, and rings. Among them, the legendary Finire's ring of protection stood out, boosting all attributes and granting a special ability. Immediately after, another notification appeared, congratulating him on obtaining a hidden legendary item. Curious, the young man examined his new acquisition. The legendary item turned out to be an egg, making him wonder if it was edible. But then, the egg began to crack, making him suspect it was some kind of pet. From within the shell, a tiny baby-like creature emerged. Stunned, he questioned if the legendary item was actually a child. The newborn creature looked up at him and called out, "Daddy," Chenji Lelay immediately asked the system to search for information about the child and check for any special abilities. Then [music] he questioned why the vault's reward was a small child, watching her roll around on the bed. The system replied that it couldn't identify the creature, stating that she had been bonded with the young man and he was to take good care of her. Yuruka climbed onto Chenille's head, and he ordered her down, insisting he wasn't her father. Holding the child upside down, he repeated that he wasn't her dad and had no interest in taking her on adventures. Faced with the situation, Chenulo decided he'd have to ask Saly and Grandpa Ubé who could possibly look after the child. The little one's expression changed. She realized what was about to happen. Instantly, Yuruka burst into earsplitting sobs. [music] Startled, Chenulo scooped her up, desperately pleading for his dear ancestor to stop crying, wondering if he'd hurt her. But Yuruka only cried harder, her whales growing even more intense. A notification flashed. A 30inut punishment has been activated for your desire to abandon a living being. As the countdown began, the young man wondered about the nature of this punishment. When the timer hit zero, the punishment was activated. Instinctively, he shielded his face, questioning the punishment since nothing had been explained. Looking around, he wondered where he was. Surrounded by a vast icy landscape, he questioned where he'd been sent. Trying to calm the crying little one, Chenilo explained he didn't know how to care for her as he was just a student. Two enormous creatures materialized ahead, revealing themselves as elite ice predators. Surprised, he wondered about the sudden appearance of these elite monsters. Another notification informed him that the punishment had begun. He had to annihilate all monsters within 30 minutes, protecting the living being. Confused, he asked what it meant to be obliterated. One of the monsters prepared to strike. Without a second thought, the young man threw himself to the ground, shielding the girl with his own body. The impact dragged him violently across the ice. Wounded, he still rose, holding Yuruka firmly. Urgently, he told her not to die and to cling to his neck. Activating his elemental power, he brandished [music] his sword. With the girl perched on his shoulder, Chenille took a combat stance and declared they would fight together. Back in [music] the village, Boon remarked to Ubé that Sali had gone to town and wondered why Chenzila hadn't returned yet. He then asked about the team's progress regarding the temple, but Ubé replied that the situation was worse than he'd imagined. The old man explained that everyone was terrified by Hicks's lies, believing the journey would provoke the gods wrath. Bob suggested that if they couldn't recruit anyone, they should just go ahead themselves and abandon the place. Ura, however, stated he wouldn't risk it, as the monsters beyond the village were too strong. Finally, UB decided the best course of action was to find Chenila first so he could report everything that had happened. Sali ran towards them asking her grandfather Ubé what he was talking about. UB explained that Boon had just informed him Chenile was awake and she commented that the young man seemed [music] fine. Eagerly, she said she was in a hurry to see him and wanted to find out what kind of elemental power he had awakened. Without wasting a moment, Saly dashed off, urging her grandfather to follow her. The defeated ice predators bodies lay scattered across the ground. On the frozen field, Cheni Lelay dodged the attack of the last remaining creature. With precision, he parried the tail strike with his sword. His final attack shattered the monster and a notification appeared, congratulating him on mission completion. Gasping after the intense battle, he struggled to catch his breath. [music] The little creature on his shoulder cheered excitedly for the victory. At this, Chenula lamented that if he truly was her father, he was completely lost. Suddenly, the scene shifts and he's back in the village. A wave of relief washes over him. "Finally, I'm back," he mutters to himself. At the entrance, Saly spots him and calls out his name. Her gaze immediately drops to the child perched on his shoulder. Confusion clouds her face. "Where did that boy come from?" she wonders. Saly scoops up the tiny creature, gushing over its cuteness. As the little one touches her face, Salie turns to Chenille. "Where did this child come from? I just adore kids," she exclaims. Chenila replies that the child hatched from an egg, leaving Salie utterly bewildered. "Are you serious?" she asks, [music] disbelief etched on her face. Silently, Chenila thinks, "Kids can hatch from eggs now, and I can't just send her away or I'll be punished." Moments later, UB and Boon approach, asking Saly about the commotion they heard from afar. She proudly shows the tiny creature to [music] them, explaining that Chenili brought her from somewhere. "Isn't she just adorable?" she asks. The two men stare at the child, utterly stunned. actually a baby? They question. Bobin turns to Chenile demanding, "Why didn't you have a kid before? What kind of game are you playing?" Chenile tries to explain. [music] She was under the bed, but quickly decides it's better not to tell the truth. UB cuts them off, demanding silence. He reminds them that Chenile just woke up, then urges them to prepare food and talk during the meal. Saly leans down to the little creature. "Be a good girl, okay? Your big sister is going to make some delicious food." Bobin asks Chenille if he's decided to be her friend, but the young man replies he's never even considered it. Yuruka points at him and starts babbling. Chenille kneels down and asks if she's hungry, assuring her the food is already being prepared and will be ready soon. Uber turns to Chenulo and apologizes. Surprised, the young man [music] asks what he's talking about and why the sudden apology. Ubri explains he was careless, believing it was just a common beast's nest and almost put Chenila in grave danger. Chenulo replies, "It's not his fault." Accepting the mission was his own choice. He adds that without this mission, he never would have discovered his arrival, there might not have been an accident. During the battle against the beast king, [music] Chenile was transported to an alternate dimension where a strange man awaited him. He recounts accepting that man's request without hesitation. Ura comments that when the young man left, he had already awakened the chaotic elemental power as if everything had been pre-planned. Hearing this, Chenilo asks if Ura knows anything about it and if everyone who receives this power [music] ends up being taken to a strange dimension. Uber denies it, stating that awakening an elemental power shouldn't lead to another dimension or an encounter with an unknown person. He adds that he only read about the chaotic elemental power in an ancient book thousands of years old. Chenule then asks what the book said, guessing that the reason for his arrival might be recorded there. Uri recounts a legend. Thousands of years ago, the evil god Morpheo descended upon the mortal realm. With overwhelming power, he clashed with human armies, and not even the greatest heroes could withstand his onslaught. As humanity plunged into despair, a savior emerged. Hi, wielding a chaotic power never before seen. Hi gathered an army and waged war against the evil god, a battle that raged for decades. In the end, he slew Morpheo and sealed [music] his soul in the tarderus of hell forever. However, in exchange for that victory, Hiodo also had to remain in that place eternally. Hearing the legend, Chenile wonders if the person he found could be Hessiedo. UB stares at him in silence. Then, [music] UB confirms it's highly probable the man the young hero knows is in fact Heiodo. Just then, Sali interrupts, announcing the food is ready. UB replies that everyone is coming. Before standing, he advises Chenille not to tell anyone else about their conversation. A vast array of dishes covers the table. With the tiny creature nestled on his head, Cheni Lelay praises Saly, telling her she's incredible. She replies that she only helped, stating the person he truly owes thanks to is the man in the kitchen. The cook smiles and thanks Miss Lisa for the compliment. During the meal, Chenila asks why Rashidler followed him here. The orc replies that Grandpa Ubé himself brought him. He then urges Chenila to eat and try his food. UB explains he brought Ratchidler because he knows Latoyana's terrain well. The tiny creature climbs onto the orc's head, but Ratchetler assures them he can handle it. Chenzila then asks what happened to his two companions from the cave battle. Sali replies that UB sent them to the city's treatment center, and the group will visit them after the meal. As they eat, Ubé asks Rashidler to fetch some milk as the tiny creature can't eat this food yet. From a distance, Hicks watches the residents from a top a cliff. A subordinate approaches, informing him the outsider is with Ubé and his group. Hearing this, Hicks decides it's time to finish the job and return to inform his lord. A dragon tears through the cloud choked lightning streaked skies, plummeting towards the ground. The creature nears a massive floating structure in the underworld. Just then, as a hand reaches for a rose bush, the dragon lands before it and shifts into the form of a man. Long-haired, the newcomer greets the figure before him, calling him Argolas. Argolas questions Lord Hades about the reason for such an urgent summons. Hades explains that Fenire's energy has vanished from Latoyana and he suspects his death. Argolas reacts instantly, declaring that no mere scum could ever kill Fenire. Hades then orders him to go to Latoana to investigate as Fenire was the guardian of an extremely important seal. Without hesitation, Argolas agrees, stating he will depart for Latoyana immediately. On a city street, Sali comments to Chenule how incredible everything he accomplished during their journey was. Bobin grumbles, claiming he could have done the same if he'd been there. Shendula retorts that if that were the case, he'd probably be on his way to collect Bobin's corpse, which promptly leads the young man to challenge him to another duel. Curious, Saly asks what kind of elemental power he awakened to defeat the beast king. Chendel admits he isn't sure and asks what elements priests usually align with. She explains that priests normally awaken the light element, but can also manifest fire, water, or others. Hearing this, he concludes he must have awakened light. While Boon grumbles that it was too obvious to even think about. In silence, Chenila remembers UB's warning not to reveal that he obtained chaotic elemental power. Salah announces they've arrived at the best treatment center in Delulk City. The group approaches the grand building. She urges him to enter and he replies he's coming. Before stepping inside, Chenile pauses at the entrance and observes the building's interior. Suddenly, he realizes he's standing on a teleportation circle. Confused, he looks around wondering what's happening. The treatment center doors slammed shut behind him. In the corridor, Saly found his delay strange and turned to call him. Looking again, she realized he was no longer there. Elsewhere, Chenlay scanned the room, wondering why he'd been suddenly brought there. [music] A question hung in the air. What was happening this time, Hicks appeared, explaining there was no need for alarm, as he'd only used a simple teleportation spell. He introduced himself as the protector of Latoyana's villagers, claiming this place was only accessible to the most talented. Chenjula shot back, stating he was just a passerby with no interest in power [music] and demanded to know why he'd been brought there. Hicks revealed he knew Chenila had killed the Beast King and invited him to join them, promising to fulfill any demand he wished. Chenila refused the offer, stating he had no interest in such things and only wanted to leave. Hicks grumbled, saying he already knew he was the same type as Ubé and that this was all a waste of time. Then he coldly revealed his people had already left to kill Chenile<unk>'s companions. As a final offer, Hicks gave him one more chance, threatening to kill him on the spot if he refused again. Without backing down, Chenula countered that he could also offer another opportunity, declaring, "If I don't find Sal and the others when I leave here, all of you will die." Consumed by rage, Hicks lunged from behind to attack Chenule. Outside, two assassins raced at high speed towards the treatment center. In the corridor, Sali felt something was wrong and wondered where Chenille had gone. Boon sniffed the air, recognizing a familiar scent. Alarmed, he yelled, "Sally, watch out!" An energy blade sliced through the air, hurtling towards her. Immediately after, a shadowy energy hand struck her side. Boon caught her before she hit the ground. Without wasting a moment, he projected a clone to defend against another imminent attack. He asked if Salille was okay and she confirmed, "I'm fine. Thanks for the help." Consumed by fury, Bobin declared, "I'll kill anyone who dares harm her." At the end of the corridor, a hooded man slowly emerged. Around him, multiple swords floated in the air. Elsewhere, blows rain down on Chenille. He dodged the attacks as the small creature tumbled from his head. Rolling across the floor, Chenille snatched her before she hit the ground. As he rose, he realized fighting effectively while holding a child was impossible. The little creature waved her arms, babbling happily in his lap. He stared at her, wondering how she could stay so cheerful in such a moment. Hicks remarked that he was a bit stronger than expected, but warned it was just an appetizer. Chenjule questioned his hatred, asking why he wanted them dead, suggesting they could unite against the monsters outside. Hicks just laughed, mocking the idea of fighting those creatures. He claimed Old Uber hadn't told the whole truth. According to Hicks, a deal was struck with the monsters, city dwellers, as food in exchange for non-inference in the hunt. The revelation hit Chenille. Ubé had agreed to sacrifice the weakest to maintain peace within the city. He realized there was never an intention to abandon Latoyana. It was all [music] just an excuse to send people to their deaths. Hicks called him smart, inviting him to join what he called the perfect plan. He added that the monsters were sent by God, accusing Ubé of hypocrisy for trying to defy them. Chenji Le refused again, stating he didn't care about their plan. All he wanted was to go home. Coldly, [music] he declared he'd destroy anything in his way. Humans, monsters, even gods. Hicks [music] retorted, "You talk too much." Without hesitation, Chenula set the little creature down, telling her to wait there. Turning, he faced his opponent directly. Hicks promised, "I'll kill you both and bury you together." The next instant, Chenula appeared before him, unleashing a brutal punch. The blow caught Hicks completely off guard as the young man stared him down with fierce determination. Giving no room for reaction, Chenila clenched his fists, ready to strike again. [music] He then unleashed a flurry of punches directly into Hicks's chest. The final blow sent him violently flying across the room. Propped on the floor, Hicks stared at him, demanding, "How did you do that?" Still down, he asked, "Who exactly are you, Chenule?" In the street, people ran in a panic, screaming that a fight had broken out. An explosion erupted amidst the crowd. Salowy leaped into the air, launching a direct attack at one of the hooded men. At the same time, Boban faced multiple opponents simultaneously. He prepared to unleash his shadow strike. His swords clashed with enemy blades in rapid metallic bursts. [music] Amidst the clash, Boan yelled, "Sally, now." Answering the call, she charged the main adversary. The young woman focused, activating her flame dance. A powerful circular attack spread through the area, consuming everything around it. To her shock, the blow missed its target. Boon instantly realized something was wrong. The hooded man appeared unharmed behind her, making her wonder if it was just a clone. The situation turned critical. Boon understood the danger. The enemy lunged to attack. [music] Before the blow could land, Chenile leaped forward, intercepting the attack. He warned, "No one touches my friends. For a few seconds, they stared at each other in silence." Moments later, the hooded man's clone dissolved before them. Confused, Saly [music] asked, "What's going on? Where have you been, Chenille? He replied that the situation was complicated and the most important thing now was to return immediately. He then explained that Grandpa Ubé was also in danger. Meanwhile, Ubé was at home, engrossed in a book on his table. His mind raced, wondering if Chenilu had truly awakened the chaotic elemental power. The prophecy within the book spoke of demons and gods descending upon Earth, plunging the world into endless darkness. It stated that only the one wielding chaotic elemental power could save [music] the world. Moments later, the group burst back in, urgently calling for Grandpa Ubé. Startled, he turned, asking why they were back so soon, and if they'd finished visiting their injured friends. Hearing their story, Ubé [music] was stunned, asking if they had truly been attacked. Sali then pressed him, asking if he knew who was behind the assault. U explained that the person Chenile encountered must be Hicks, the wind mage, and the man Sali and Boan faced was Luscious, the shadow mage. He revealed that both were guardians of the city. Boon reacted, demanding, "Why would the city's own guardians attack us?" Ubra began to recount how Hicks, Lucius, Salkia, and Dorop were the first heroes to arrive in Latiana and founded the city. Back then, the land was a brutal place where people hid from monsters, and fought each other for food and shelter. When all hope seemed lost, Dorop emerged, gathered the scattered people, and taught them cultivation techniques. Ubé speculated that the group's intention to leave Latoyana must have been seen as a direct threat to the vill's stability. [music] At that moment, Cheng Lelay cut him off. With a steely gaze, he demanded, "Why did you never tell us that the vill's peace was maintained at the cost of human sacrifices?" Chenila stared him down, asking if Ure had always known about the agreement to sacrifice innocent people for peace. Babon asked Grandpa Ure, "Why didn't you tell us the truth from the start?" Chenila confronted him, questioning if he too would use innocence as pawns to maintain peace. Sali jumped to his defense, asserting that UB wasn't that kind of person and reminding them he was one of the 12 heroes. Uber cut her off, admitting that Chenile wasn't wrong and making it clear he didn't agree with the guardians actions. The revelation left everyone in the room utterly stunned. UB then challenged Chenile, asking him what he'd choose, his loved ones or his sense of justice. [music] He argued that anyone would protect those they cherished. Then his gaze fixed on the young man. He pressed, "Isn't that true?" He explained that Sali and Ban's lives were used as leverage, forcing him to choose between [music] justice and their very survival. Ubra declared that they were the most important people in his life, leaving him no choice but to yield to keep them alive. He swore that if he were alone, he'd never have accepted such a vile trade, for he was no coward who feared death. The old man then mused that if someone were strong enough to protect both, such a cruel choice would never be necessary. Chenula cut in. "Did you agree precisely because you couldn't defeat all four guardians and protect Salie and Boon simultaneously?" Boon bristled, threatening the young man for disrespecting UB. [music] But Chenila merely retorted, "That's just the harsh reality." Then turning to Boan, he asked, "What would you do if you had to choose between Salili and yourself?" UB lowered his head, his silence heavy. Sensing the rising tension, Chenzillay apologized to the old man, explaining that it was simply how he thought with no intention to offend. UB replied that he was the one who should apologize for his hope of finally escaping that place had reignited the moment he met Chenile. Then Ubé turned to Salile and Boan, declaring it was time to reveal the full truth so they could forge their own destinies. Sali immediately vowed, "No matter where you go, I want to be by your side." Bob, however, flat out refused to accept the past agreements, insisting he had to protect her. He then told Ubé, "It's time to stop going along with this." Chenille rallied the three, urging them to fight together for the city's people, for their freedom, and for those they loved. The four united, a formidable force ready to face the looming battle. Uber explained that escaping the city meant defeating all four guardians, reminding them that Hicks was the weakest of the bunch. He warned them that the other three would be far tougher to beat and they'd be out for blood the moment Hicks recovered. Finally, Uber announced that from that moment on, they would all endure the most brutal training imaginable. He declared their only chance of survival depended solely on their own strength. In response, [music] the entire group roared their approval. In a tranquil field, Cheni lay rested on the grass, his small companion, Yuruka, intently watching a butterfly. Lying there, he pondered how much time had [music] passed since his arrival, making a silent vow to see his mother again soon. Yuruka bounced excitedly, trying to snatch the butterfly, which promptly fluttered away. Gently, he warned her away from the cliff, asking her to give him less trouble. As he watched, he mused that despite gaining a massive amount of experience from defeating [music] the beast king, he'd only leveled up 10 times and still had 50 attribute points to distribute. [music] He assessed that his extinguish skill devoured 90% of his HP, leaving him critically vulnerable to a single fatal blow. The Berserker's morning potion flashed in his mind. It could instantly restore his HP, but at the steep cost of eight levels per vial. With this in mind, he decided to prioritize strength and agility, saving his mana for offense and sacrificing defense for now. His strategy was set. After activating extinguish, his offense would be his defense. Just then, a notification screen popped up before him, signaling a new message. He looked [music] closer. The interface displayed hundreds of messages, each marked with a shattered heart symbol. He instantly recognized the pattern, Xiaomé's ID. Chenille stared, wondering if these were truly messages from Xiaomé, and if communication with the outside world was even possible. In the messages, Xiaomé urged him to go to the church, expressed irritation at his silence, and even threatened him. Finally, she reported his disappearance from school, mentioning a bald man who claimed he was moving with his mother and desperately pleaded for him to reply. The young man reeled, "Had he been online this entire time? Why would a stranger deliver such bizarre news? The terrifying thought that his physical body might be in a coma gripped [music] him. He glanced at Yuruka beside him, finding it illogical to imagine his mother suddenly selling their home and moving. Confused, [music] Chenil clutches his head as the tiny creature offers him a flower. Impatient, he pushes it away, declaring, "I don't have time for games right now." The creature drops the flower, bursts into tears, and wales, "Bad dada!" Faced with the scene, the young man is at a loss for how to react. A system notification flashes, "Punishment activated for harming a living being." As the tiny creature sobbs uncontrollably, Chenille wonders what sin he's committed. Without another word, he stares at the situation and announces, "Tleortation initiated." In an instant, he's hurled to the peak of a lava mountain. Suddenly, a colossal creature of fire erupts before him. The scene shifts. Chenille apologizes to the tiny creature. Holding the small being in his sword, he declares, "We're leaving." Night falls over a grand mansion, the moon illuminating the sky. Inside, Bros questions Ubra's presence and intentions. Recognizing him as one of the 12 heroes, Bros asks if he's also trapped in this place. UB replies that the title is meaningless and the past should no longer be spoken of. Impressed to meet a living legend, Bros [music] asks if the old man came looking for him and UB confirms he needs his help. Curious, Bros presses, "What could be so important that you came yourself?" The elder explains that if anyone asks about Chenuli killing the beast king, both he and Foka must remain absolutely silent. Bros agrees not to utter a single word, even without understanding why. Ubra thanks him, bids farewell, and tells him to rest well. Alone, Braz reflects that if even Ubé is trapped, his own desire to escape might have always been a foolish dream. Before leaving, the elder gives him a clue, advising him to seek the temple deep within Latoyana. Then Uber invites him to join the talent recruitment in the south of the city, and Bros accepts. Just then, Feloka approaches. Bros comments, surprised, "I didn't expect you to be up already, Feloka." Foca in turn asks, "Why are you still awake, bros? [music] Your wounds are almost healed." Braz admitted that while he'd be out in a few days, he still couldn't shake off the chaos of recent events. He then turned to Feloka, asking if UB had also approached him about Chenille and the temple. Feloka's eyes widened. That was UB, one of the 12 heroes. Bros confirmed, explaining he only recognized him because Ubé had always been his idol. His room plastered with portraits of the legendary figure. Feloka stared in disbelief. The legendary Ubé, the one who shattered the swift [music] troll, was trapped here, too. Bros insisted, "The 12 heroes aren't just a fancy title. They're the 12 strongest people on the planet." He went on to explain that every 5 years, a massive battle unfolds where the 12 top guilds each pick their most powerful member to become the 12 heroes. Uber's guild, though relatively new, had crushed many of the old heroes. But after the battle of O'Brien, the guild shattered. Ubé was the sole survivor, retiring immediately after his final solitary hunt. Browse [music] admitted, "This is all too much to take in. It's insane." He finally concluded that the abilities of someone like Chenille were beyond anything they could even dream of achieving. A distant memory flickered. A younger, gravely wounded Ubé, screaming a warning. A gigantic shadowy hand lunged forward, aiming to snatch [music] two figures. Sali's parents braced themselves, ready to face the imminent attack. But the blow struck true, sending one of them hurtling away. The man and woman crumpled, overwhelmed by the devastating power. Desperate, UB screamed their names, "Morse! Luna!" Back in the present, he clutched a [music] locket, a family photo nestled inside, reaffirming his resolve to take Saly far from Latoyana. He lamented his own suffering, vowing that she wouldn't endure the same pain she deserved to live a full life. He then revealed he'd placed an enchantment on her, a powerful charm to shield her from any mortal danger. Squeezing the locket tight, he swore to himself. This time, he wouldn't break his promise. On the mountain, a notification blar, signaling the end of his punishment. Chenille lies sprawled on the grass, wondering why this punishment felt far harsher than the last. A system window pops up, explaining that the monster's combat power gradually increases during the punishment. He's shocked to read that this power also grows by 10% with each new activation of the punishment. Faced with this, he realizes the task will only get tougher and tougher. The young man concludes that the small creature resembles an ancient ancestor needing to be treated with extreme care. Still, he mutters to himself that it doesn't matter much since he can't understand a [music] word it says. Suddenly, an idea strikes him. Pointing at the system screen, he asks the little creature if it can see it. He muses that neither Ubé nor Sal could see the system, but the creature apparently can. So, he asks if it knows anything about the messages he receives from Xiaomé. The creature, however, just shakes its head. Frustrated, Chenile realizes he's trying to talk to someone who can't understand him. Just then, Chenilo turns as he hears someone call his name. The entire group is approaching and Saly shouts his name from a distance. He notices everyone gathered there in the field. Spotting Bros and Foca among them, the young man greets them. Bros explains that since he didn't show up, they decided to come looking for him. Chenula apologizes for leaving in such a hurry and Bros comments that he recovered quickly thanks to Bob and Sali's care. Annoyed by the comment, Chenila reacts, but Bros immediately scolds him. Despite that, he feels relieved to see that everyone is all right. Filoka then explains that they came to meet UB to finally escape this place. Bros pats the little creature's head and confirms the group's objective to find UB. Surprised, Chenila reacts, questioning how he could possibly have a child. While the little creature bristles in his arms at that moment, the creature introduces itself saying, "My name is Yuruka." Bob interrupts the conversation, announcing that UB is about to start the training. Bros comments that it's been a while since they last saw each other, but Chenille assures him that everyone will take the training seriously. UB lets out a booming laugh. Intrigued, Chenille asks the reason for the laughter. The old man explains that he's happy because the atmosphere hasn't been this lively since he arrived in Latoyama. Saly comments that it's the first time she's seen her grandfather laugh like that. UB tells everyone to relax for now, but warns them not to cry during the training later. Bros asks how terrifying this training will be. The elder replies that it's a challenge even the 12 heroes wouldn't be able to overcome. The entire group listens in silence, understanding the gravity of what awaits them. Holding an item, Ubé explains that to win, one must find the opponent's weaknesses and flaws. He states that in a real battle, even a 0.01 second mistake can determine victory or defeat. Suddenly, energy copies of all group members appear before them. Bros and Foca immediately turn to face their own clones. Uber declares that a team battle is above all a test of cooperation and mutual understanding. He then reveals the training artifact creates copies with identical skills, but with one and a half times their combat power. To reassure them, Uber explains the clones won't cause real damage, though pain will be felt and fatal blows will lead to elimination. He further warns that on the path to the temple, every lost member will make the situation even more brutal. With that, the group faces their opponents with grim determination, understanding this is the true beginning of their training. The sun rises over the small mountain village. In the kitchen, Rashidler asks Ubé what he'd like to eat, explaining he'd prepare a meal for three. He tells Yuruka to step back a bit to avoid getting hurt while he cooks. Uber, however, corrects him, ordering him to prepare food for 20 people. Surprised, Richard asks if they're expecting guests, but the elder replies, "Not exactly." Just then, Chenzila enters the house, followed by the entire group. Uber remarks they were a bit slower than he'd estimated. He then rushes Rashidler to prepare the 20 portions, leaving Rashidler stunned as he realizes the training had ended in just half an hour. Soon after, a grand feast is served for everyone. During the meal, Boon holds out his bowl, asking Rashidler for another serving. Soon, the others join in, also requesting more food. Uber praises the group for defeating their clones in just half an hour and asks if they're satisfied with the training. Suddenly, everyone stops eating at once, and the elder questions what's wrong. The group rises in unison, shouting they are utterly dissatisfied. Sali explains they were annihilated in less than 30 minutes. While the others agree the clones were incredibly cunning, especially Chenile's clone, who proved terrifyingly powerful. Chenula realized the battle felt like a PvP match with opponents thinking like real humans. He recalled how the clones hid at the start, forcing his team to stick together. They still fell into an ambush. He could only watch as his own clones systematically took down everyone, leaving him alone against five enemies. He concluded then that their defeat was sealed even before the battle truly began. Ubé nodded, agreeing with the analysis. The winner was decided from the very start, he stated. He explained that in team battles, the decisive factor is the integrated power of the group, comparing it to a chess game where some pieces must be sacrificed. [music] Ubra revealed that the clones don't think for themselves. Instead, they deduced the best collective strategy by analyzing the group's abilities. He then declared this was the most effective strategy against inexperienced teams, which immediately provoked a reaction from Bob. Chenille likened the situation to a math problem that needs to be understood before it can be solved. He concluded that to learn how to fight as a team, everyone needs to grasp the process and acknowledge their own weaknesses. Ending the day's training, Ubé announced he would continue training with them tomorrow and wished everyone a good rest. That night, Chenila slept in the same bed as Yuruka. At some [music] point, he woke up reflecting on how the feeling of powerlessness watching his comrades fall felt terrifyingly real. A chilling thought gripped him. What if this was a real battle and Yuruka or his mother were in danger? Chenjilo resolved that he wasn't strong enough yet to protect everyone he loved. He remembered his mother, who had given up a great job at a good company to take a part-time position just so she could take better care of him. A distant memory flickers. His mother asking her boss if she could bring him to work on Wednesdays. The man grumbles, claiming the boy would take up customer space, but she promises he'd be no trouble at all. Then he asks if she's a single mother. A leerous smile spreads across his face. He remarks that with her looks, she wouldn't need to work so hard. Then he suggests she go out with him that night. She immediately shuts him down, stating she's only there for a job. Suddenly, little Chenji lays fist connects with the man's stomach. The boy screams, "Stop bullying my mom." Panicked, his mother apologizes profusely and begs her son to say sorry to the boss. Enraged, the man explodes, calling the boy a brat and spewing threats. As he lunges forward, his mother instantly steps in front, shielding her son. With a lightning fast move, she flips him over her shoulder, slamming him to the ground. Then she declares coldly, "If I don't get the job, so be it." Tears streaming down her face. She apologizes to her son, heartbroken that they won't be able to have hamburgers together anymore. In that moment, young Chenilo gripped her hand, making a silent, solemn vow. He would protect her. Suddenly, a voice warns him. "Wanting to protect others with just your own strength? That's nothing but a joke. He looks up, recognizing the white-haired figure materializing before him as that guy. Cheng Lelay calls out to the mysterious man. Where are you? No answer. He starts to wonder what's happening. Certain he heard that voice, he asks Yuruka if she heard anything strange, but the little creature just shakes her head. He considers the possibility of auditory hallucinations, a side effect of the past few days intense strain. Yuruka, sprawled across Chenule's stomach, calls him Dada. He wonders how he'll ever sleep with the kid lying on him. Then he realizes Yuruka is already fast asleep. With a resigned sigh, he covers the tiny being with the blanket, muttering, "Guess there's nothing for it." In the quiet, he reflects on how his mother managed to protect and raise him all those years, completely alone. The path forward becomes crystal clear. He must increase his power, defeat the guardians, and escape this village. The mysterious man's voice echoed again, claiming he felt Chenile's power drift like cotton. The young man recognized that comparison as [music] the most fitting metaphor he'd ever heard. The voice continued, explaining that clones were still incredibly simple for him. At that moment, Chenille confirmed he wasn't imagining things. Suddenly, the scenery shifted and he found himself in an unknown place. Confused, he asked, "Where am I? Why did I appear here?" The mysterious man explained that this was Chenille's inner world and he'd been there since the moment he became his master. Intrigued, the young man questioned, "What exactly is this inner world?" The guide replied that he'd only managed to find him now because he was too weak when he broke free from his seal. Grateful, Chenula thanked him for helping defeat the beast king and asked, "Why are there flowers floating all around?" He replied that he didn't know, but explained that a person's inner world reflects what's most important in their subconscious. Holding one of the flowers, Chen wondered why he had no memories related to them. The guide interrupted him. Don't dwell on irrelevant things. That's not why I brought you here. Next, he revealed the true reason for calling him to this place. His sole intention was to make him stronger. He stated that even recovering just 1% of his power would be enough to demonstrate true chaotic elemental power. Furthermore, he declared that Chenille's current power didn't even reach zero, so I 1% of his own. Surprised, the young man questioned, "Isn't that an exaggeration? That would mean a thousandfold difference between us." The guide replied that even that estimate was generous. Even so, he affirmed that it didn't matter because if Chenilo died, he would also cease to exist. At that instant, a system window appeared before them. The displayed mission was called Chaos Lord Training. The objective was simple. Survive for 3 minutes without being defeated to achieve victory. Analyzing the proposal, Chenile considered the reward quite generous for just 3 minutes of endurance. Finally, the mysterious guide asked, "Shall we begin?" Determined, Chenilo prepared for the fight, declaring he would endure far more than just 300 seconds. Assuming a new form, the young man shouted to his uncle, "We can begin." In a cathedral, a woman asked Hicks if Chenju Lelay was really that strong, as she'd never seen him so injured. While receiving healing, Hicks scoffed, "It was nothing more than a slip up. That opponent is just an insignificant nobody." Despite his words, his expression revealed that even he didn't believe it. A hooded woman intervened, warning, "If Chenille had used his full power, they'd be collecting Hicks's corpse right now." Shocked, he asked Luscious, "What exactly did you just say?" Another guardian scoffed, demanding how a low-life like him ever became one of the vill's four guardians. Hicks pointed a finger at her, scoffing at her arrogance, claiming even she wouldn't stand a chance against that brat. The guardian stomped on his head, coldly stating she wouldn't mind helping to eliminate a completely useless being. She then admitted Chenzu was strong, but in her eyes, he was nothing more than brute force, lacking any refined battle technique. Hicks snarled that if Lord Dorup were here, taking down Ubé and his crew would be trivial. Luscious explained that Ubé was already recruiting forces within the city, and any direct move from Lord Dorop would cause widespread panic. Intrigued, [music] the other guardian demanded to know what she meant. The hooded figure then summoned a shadowy creature through a shimmering barrier. The two guardians watched, a gasast, as the form began to materialize. An enormous werewolf known as the Latoyana Vagabond materialized before them. Luscious commanded the creature to go eliminate the villagers. The beast's eye locked onto its target. The monster roared violently and lunged towards its prey. The spiritual guide landed with a firm step on the snow. With only two minutes left on the clock, Chenji lay pressed on through the white landscape. He apologized to his uncle, promising that if he could avoid combat for 3 minutes, he'd complete the mission and accept any training afterward. A strange feeling washed over him when he realized the guide wasn't pursuing him, sparking a bad premonition. He looked up, his gaze fixed on the sky. Then an overwhelming attack plummeted from the heavens directly onto him. The force of the collision violently hurled him backward. By pure instinct, Cheng Lelay plunged his sword into the cliff's edge, stopping his fall. Bracing himself on the blade, he surveyed the destruction before him. The single blow had ripped a gigantic chasm into the earth. He questioned how this could possibly be called training when his life was clearly on the line. He realized he'd only survived because he'd activated the beast king's shield with less than half a second to react. From the other side of the chasm, the spiritual guide's voice boomed, asking if he was trying to avoid a direct fight. The man admitted he'd underestimated him, acknowledging how quickly Chenille had managed to defend himself. Still, he declared that such cowardly behavior could not be forgiven. Pointing urgently, Chenile screamed at his uncle. Look behind you. Annoyed, the guides spun around only to face the young man across the chasm. With time running out, Chenula knew he needed to buy a few more moments to complete his mission. He then asked if they could fight later, claiming he needed a few minutes to rest. The guide questioned why he kept running, reminding him that a real enemy would never give him time to catch his breath. Suddenly, the man appeared right behind Chenile. He attacked with his sword, declaring, "This is your first lesson." At the last second, Chenile moved at lightning speed and dodged. Now, he stood directly before his opponent. Calmly, he commented, "Luckily, that was a physical attack. I managed to avoid it just in time." The guide wondered how the boy had appeared behind him. He hadn't been able to track his movements. Chenilo realized his skills cool down would leave him vulnerable and only 30 seconds remained until the mission ended. Keeping his distance, he asked if he could rest a bit before they continued, promising not to run away. The guide accepted the pause but asked what skill he had used moments before. Cheng Le replied, "You must be talking about Flash." A system notification popped up announcing that time had run out and the mission was successfully completed. The guide explained that he gained his skills through the system by leveling up and using them was like giving direct commands to his own body. Chinjile then asked if there was anything wrong with using a skill to avoid attacks. The mysterious man admitted he didn't fully understand, but he felt like he'd seen that skill before. Chenile asked, "Has anyone else ever used it?" He mused that his own body's reaction felt familiar, though he couldn't recall who had made him feel the same way in a past battle. The memory of Heissiad's legend told by Ubé flashed through his mind, making him connect the dots. With that, he began to wonder if his uncle could actually be the legendary hero. A faint smile touched his lips as he told the man, "I think I know who you really are." Surprised, the guide stared at him in silence, pointing at him, Chenelo revealed, "You're Heiziod, the man who saved the world by defeating the evil god Morpheus." Then he asked, "Do you remember anything?" The mysterious man repeated the name Heziod softly as if testing out that identity. Elsewhere, Rackler slept soundly, clutching a small doll. Beside him, Buban grumbled about having to share a room with a beast man brought by Ubé. Sitting up in bed, he declared, "I can't take this anymore." Suddenly, a familiar scent filled the air, his body tensing. Bob spun around sharply and exclaimed, "It's him." Without wasting a second, he bolted out of the room at top speed. The commotion woke Rashidler, who jolted awake, startled, and asked, "Was that an earthquake?" As Boan raced down the corridor, the figure of Latiana's vagabond materialized on the ceiling behind him. Amidst the wreckage, Rashidler gets up and asks what happened. Looking around, he sees the house is severely damaged and wonders if Bob was buried. The thought of the young man being crushed to death fills him with dread. Suddenly, something streaks past him at incredible speed. A rock smashes into his face, his nose [music] bleeding. Ratchidler roars, "Who's looking for a death wish this late at night?" He looks up and recognizes the figure of the Latana wanderer. The creature lunges forward, delivering a powerful punch to Bob. The young man leaps back, readying his swords for the fight. Without a moment's pause, the beast charges again, attacking with savage claws. After landing, Boban confirms he wasn't mistaken about the monster's identity. The beast unleashes a deafening roar at him. With hatred burning in his eyes, he declares, "That's the demonic beast that killed my parents. I'll never forget it." Boon states he's trained all these years to find it, but never imagined it would come to him. Ratchidler arrives asking if Boan is okay and demanding to know why a demonic beast appeared [music] there. Boan orders Richard to leave immediately. He swears, "I'll tear that creature limb from limb and spill its blood over my parents' grave." He takes a combat stance, ready for battle. The monster lunges again, roaring, "Die, Bob!" From a distance, [music] the necromancer woman watches the scene with interest. She comments to her companions that she summoned other demonic beasts to lure Ubé. In a cold tone, she orders Hicks, "Deal with the other rookies. Lord Dorop will handle the main target." Before that, she warns him not to fail again. Desperate, Rashidler races to UB's house, shouting that a demonic beast has invaded the village. Ubé opens the door, demanding to know what's happening. Rashidler quickly explains that Boan is fighting the creature. The older man turns a serious gaze toward the village. In the distance, he sees destruction spreading. Without hesitation, Ubé orders Rashidler, "Find Chen Jle and tell him to stay with Sali." He speeds off. Legends say the savior Heziad wielded the power of the chaos element. They also say he defeated the evil god Murius, sealing him in Altalos's infernal tower. With this, Chenelo concludes that his uncle must be Heiod and that the place he rescued him from was the infernal tower itself. He then asks his uncle if he can remember anything. The man replies that his mind is still completely blank, leaving the young man perplexed. Chenjilu questions why his memory hasn't returned. Since in anime and manga, characters usually remember everything when they hear their own name. The guide explains that even as head, he still can't access his past memories. Despite this, he admits that seeing the young man's ability gave him a familiar feeling. This reaction made him feel, even if slightly, connected to that world once more. Chenzila reflects on his own mysteries like why he was brought to this place and how he awakened the chaos element. He believes that if his uncle truly is Hessiad and regains his memory, all these questions might finally be answered. The guide then challenges him to fight again, hoping the confrontation will help him remember something, and the young man accepts without hesitation. Suddenly, a tiny cry pierces the air. Chenile immediately recognizes Yuruka's call. Back in his room, a guardian closes in on Chenille's sleeping form. Her gaze fixed on the child beside him. A silent question in her eyes. She whispers to the child, "Don't be afraid. I'm only here to kill him, not you." Her eyes lock onto the sleeping youth as the tiny creature screams, "Yuruka!" The guardian smirks. "If you can't bear to be parted, then you can join him." With a swift motion, she unleashes an attack, aiming straight for Yuruka. The blow, however, is blocked by an invisible barrier, stunning the woman. She spins around thanking someone named Luca for the protection. Just then, Cheni Lelay appears, cradling the small creature. He tells her, "Leave her to me. She's easy to handle." The Latoyama wanderer approaches two fallen women. Its massive maw gapes open, ready to devour them. Before it could strike, a counterattack slams into it, sending it violently, hurtling backward. Uber holds the little girl in his arms and asks if she's okay. He then turns to face a horde of other monsters all at once. Two creatures close in, their eyes fixed on him. Just then, Bros appears, unleashing his snake attack. He joins UB, demanding, "What's happening? Why are these monsters attacking the village?" UB explains that the area is protected by an enchantment, meaning these creatures shouldn't have breached it so easily. He realizes the enemies couldn't wait any longer, and this invasion is nothing but a diversion. Bros and Foa grasp the chilling truth. Their enemy's real goal is to eliminate them within the city's own walls. Uber then turns and calls them both by name. He orders them to head to the city center, rescue the inhabitants, and bring them to his home. Bros asks where he intends to go. Uber replies he'll go to the enchantment's boundary on the city's outskirts to receal it. Concerned, Bros insists on joining him, warning that the area is swarming with monsters. Unwavering, Ubri commands them to protect the villagers. With that, he summons his first bolt of thunder and vanishes in a flash. Luscious watches, noting that Chenille's speed seems even greater than their last encounter. Chila recognizes her as the hooded figure who attacked Salie and Boon and is stunned to realize that Lucio was actually a woman. He then demands, "Why do you love launching sneak attack so much?" Annoyed, Lucius snaps back, "Who are you calling auntie?" Chenilo demands to know why they're so bent on killing them when they could achieve freedom by defeating God himself. Luscious retorts that Lord Doroth built this city with his own blood and sweat. The young man counters that the temple has always been a lie. She insists [music] that defying divine will is pure foolishness. He then declares that the temple is real. With a firm voice, he warns that anyone who stands in his way of finding the temple or harms his companions will have to face him. Luscious scoffs, calling him a braggard. Defeating Hicks, the weakest guardian, doesn't make you powerful, she sneers. She declares her battle power is on par with Dorops. Immediately after, she summons countless blade wielding wolf creatures. Then she commands her shadow army to advance. The protagonist braces for the imminent attack. Activating his sacred blade skill, he channels energy into his sword. With a single devastating strike, he obliterates all the summoned wolves. Luscious watches the scene, utterly stunned. That's impossible, she gasps. Enraged, [music] she unleashes an attack. Thousands of blades rain down from the sky. Chenille reacts instantly, activating an item in his hand. A shield instantly forms around him, deflecting every single blade. From within the barrier, he taunts. Is this the power you boasted about? Surprised, she admits she underestimated him, unable to believe he nullified her attack with such ease. Lusious lands on the ground, a smirk playing on her lips. "Not bad," she conceds. She then declares that was just a warm-up and prepares to fight seriously. The man then reveals a new gigantic sword emanating an oppressive presence. The guardian declares, "Now you'll see my true power." At that moment, a quest update flashes, informing him of Delk's defense and the city's escalating instability. At the city's edge, a massive confrontation was unfolding. Amidst the chaos, monsters clashed with each other as the defensive barrier began to crumble. Many channeled their energy into a massive pillar, desperately trying to sustain the defense. Warriors fought bravely against the monstrous horde. Finally, the creatures shattered the barrier and swarmed into the city. One of the defenders yelled for Gloria, asking how long she'd take to repair the zone's boundary. Gloria replied that the number of beasts was only growing and there wasn't enough energy to restore the barrier. A hooded man ordered everyone to hold their ground, reminding them their mission was to protect this place. He commanded Vagner and Romo to contain the beasts [music] and defend the city. The warrior roared for everyone to hold their positions. The protective barrier completely shattered. One of the mages warned, "It won't hold much longer." A powerful attack struck precisely where the barrier had been breached. The rift slowly began to close. One man questioned, "Was that Marty's doing?" While a woman cheered, seeing the opening sealed. Uber appeared floating in the air, radiating overwhelming power. One of the men immediately recognized him as one of the 12 heroes. As he landed, the monsters recoiled from his presence. With a single motion, he struck down the creatures surrounding the warriors. Uber declared he would handle Dartmouth and Cory, ordering the others to deal with the rest. The mag's leader commanded everyone to move to the next rift. Then Uber prepared to unleash a large-scale attack. An incredibly powerful gust of wind erupted against the monsters. The blow struck the creatures, disintegrating them completely. Amidst the chaos, a hooded figure materialized in the sky. One of the warriors identified him. Lord Dolipo. Suddenly, the defenders realized they were encircled by a new threat. Flames engulfed them from all sides. Ubé challenged him. What do you think you're doing? Do sneered. I granted these martyrs the chance to live so I can take it away whenever I please. He declared, "This is the fate of those who dare betray me." A rain of swords descended upon Chenji. Moving at blinding speed, he dodged the blades. A powerful attack was unleashed directly at him. However, the enemy's sword was caught in the maw of a creature. The beast held the blade firm as Chen braced for his counterattack. He lunged directly at his adversary. Chenelos and the creature's blades clashed with immense force. Lusious gasped, her weapon practically vibrating with the sheer power. The collision's impact sent her reeling. Chenilo then warned her to be more careful to avoid unnecessary trouble. She scoffed, asking what was wrong with Marty, then declared Lord Dolop would punish all traitors. She then revealed Lord Dolop was one of the 12 heroes. Chenju lay stunned, asked if Dolop had truly arrived. He gripped Grandfather Ubé's sword, questioning if his opponent's lack of a weapon wasn't a disadvantage. But he quickly dismissed the thought, realizing this was no time for hesitation. Determined he resolved to end this once and for all. Luscious sensed his combat power had surged even higher. She recomposed herself, ready to face him, staring Chenila down, pushing her body to its absolute limit. She managed to block his strike. In [music] the next instant, Chenila vanished from her sight, only to reappear behind her, landing a precise punch. Wounded, Luscious staggered, demanding, "Why didn't you kill me?" Chenila simply watched her in silence, then turned and walked away. A system window popped up, displaying the defense mission update. Elsewhere, Ubé strode through a corridor of unstable energy. He quickened his pace, closing in on the man ahead. Suddenly, both were dragged into the heart of a violent maelstrom. Uber unleashed a powerful attack against his adversary. Dopo taunted him. "Do you still have the strength of your youth?" Ubé retorted, "My prime is long past. I am but an old man now." Dopo declared himself a god who despises those who age and slowly decay. The attack struck him squarely. Then Dopo unleashed his wind howl. Two energy tornadoes erupted before him. He bid Ure farewell. Luscious collapsed to her knees, groaning, "My whole body aches. I can't move." She realized she could have been killed in that instant. Yet, she couldn't understand why Chenilo had shown her mercy. She accused him of humiliating her. "Are you too arrogant to kill me?" She screamed, "I'm not grateful. I'll find a chance to kill you later." Chengi Le replied, "He didn't want her thanks. He had something urgent to do." She warned him, "Next time, it won't be the hilt of a sword hitting me." He reflected that he couldn't kill her. Even though she was an NPC, everything felt too real. His conscience held him back. Chen Jula understood that even in a virtual game devoid of moral responsibility, the weight of taking a life would forever scar his mind. Saly approached informing him, "Ureé is at the enchantment west of the city." Lusious warned him. Even together, you and UB can't defeat Lord Dopp. Chenille told her not to worry. He instructed her to follow the map and take Uzi to UB at the enchantment west of the city. Gripping Yuruka firmly, he declared they needed to hurry and help Grandfather Ubé. Then he leaped away at high speed, shouting, "I'm already on my way to help him." Do stared down the energy sphere, hurtling towards him. In the next instant, the impact struck him squarely, sending him flying backward. The attack's force dragged him through the air, culminating in a violent explosion that echoed across the entire battleground. Ubé landed firmly, ready to continue the fight. He stared at Dolapo, who slowly recomposed himself amidst the rubble, a cold smile twisting his lips. With a clenched fist, UB charged without hesitation. His punch tore through the air, creating a powerful shock wave that ripped across the city's rooftops, making buildings tremble. Dolapo sneers. It's pathetic to see an old man struggle so hard to protect a bunch of idiots. He claims it's been ages since he found anyone capable of entertaining him. Yet, he laments that Ubé lacks the strength to defeat him. As a reward, he promises to unleash the true terror of facing a four element mage. Behind him, four elemental creatures materialize, radiating an overwhelming pressure. Bros reacts instantly, landing a fierce kick on one of the creatures. Feloka, with precise movements, slices another monster with his daggers. After the attack, he sheaths his weapons and reports that no new creatures have appeared in the area so far. Bros remarks, "Looks like Uncle Ure managed to fix the city's boundaries." He then asks, "How are you feeling, Feloka?" Feloka replies, "I'm fine, but I've never seen so many highle beasts gathered at once." Gazing at the partially destroyed city, one of them comments, "Enemies keep swarming like ants. It's hard to imagine how the residents have survived this long. Seeing the countless bodies scattered around, he concludes, "These people must have faced something a thousand times worse in the past." Bros warns, "The beasts in the city center are annihilated, but the residents on the outskirts are still fighting and need help." Foca agrees instantly. Then Bros looks up and asks, "What's that strange sound?" Feloka recognizes the summoning of water and fire elementals, stating, "It's the first time I've witnessed something on this scale. How are there still such powerful mages in this city? Braz explains, "A multi-elemental mage usually isn't as powerful as a single element specialist." Bitterly, he concludes that bastard is the only exception, capable of wielding multiple elements with such immense power. Feloka shouts, "Bross, look at the sky." Countless attacks crisscross above them in a chaotic dance of destruction. Amidst the flames, UB charges forward as someone shouts his name from a distance. Before him, a fire dragon unleashes a massive energy sphere. UB skillfully evades the converging barrage of attacks. In response, he counters with a devastating punch just as Dopo announces, "Thunder strike." The old man channels all his energy to break free from the technique, but his opponent merely smiles, declaring, "Resistance is feudal." A rock creature lunges, attempting to crush him. With a determined roar, UB unleashes a direct punch. The impact tears through the golem's body, shattering it completely. He floats in the air for a brief instant as the creature's remains rain down around him. Suddenly, a colossal mass of water engulfves him. Uber is trapped within a violent maelstrom formed by the waves of a water elemental. The water prison shatters in a deafening explosion. Liquid fragments blast in all directions as the pressure dissipates. Ubé, leaning on a nearby rock, gasps for breath and watches a small water creature form before him, condensing drop by drop. Behind him, the stone golem begins to reconstruct itself, piecing together its rock fragments in a seemingly inevitable process. [music] The elemental creature rises fully, ready to strike. Wounded, Ubé kneels, gasping for breath, feeling the weight of his ears in every ragged inhale. Dopproes slowly, impressed, [music] and comments, "You still managed to dodge that attack." But then he snears, reminding him, "A mortal is still just a mortal. Your body has aged far too much." He boasts of possessing a youthful body and limitless powers, something he claims that would make anyone envious. Always in command, always above others. Dopp then taunts him. Is it truly comfortable living as a walking corpse, selling your own soul for eternal power? UB retorts, his voice. Aren't you, Dolapo, the one truly envious of others? Enraged, Dolapo screams, "Shut up!" A blast of energy shot straight at UB. Dopo glared, fury in his eyes as the attack slammed into him. Uber was engulfed by the energy, forcibly lifted into the air. Doppeld him suspended, threatening to crush him as easily as an ant. Then he revealed his twisted plan. He'd blame UB for opening the frontier, then declare himself the god who slew him to save the people. Uber, gasping for breath, could only roar, "Go to hell!" Suddenly, a blur of incredible speed streaked across the battlefield. The impact slammed into Doppo, shattering his attack. The energy dispersed violently. Chenji emerged from the [music] debris, catching the elder before he could fall. UB recognized him instantly, calling out his name. Dolapo slowly recomposed himself, scanning his surroundings. Who dares interfere? He snarled. Chenilo asked, "Grandpa Ure, are you all right?" UB replied, "Just superficial wounds." Before asking, "How did you get here?" Chenilo explained, "I came as soon as Luscious was defeated. I figured Dalipo would try to kill you." He apologized for not returning Ozul sooner. Uber told him not to blame himself, explaining, "Even with Ozul, I might not have been able to defeat Dopo. Our enemy sold his soul for unimaginable power." Uber continued, explaining, "My body is old, my strength has waned, and my movements no longer obey my will. I am just a mortal in decline." He then instructed Chenula, "Use a teleportation barrier and escape with the others. I'll hold Doppo off." But the young man turned, resolute, and declared he wouldn't leave his grandfather behind. He vowed, "I won't abandon Yuruka, Sali, Boon, Bros, Feloka, or anyone else who is now part of my life." Chengile said, "My mother always taught me never to lose faith, never to surrender to destiny, even when living as a mortal is painful." He affirmed, "We can defeat Dopo, and we'll lead everyone to the temple." UB stared at the young man for a few seconds. Then, with a tired smile, declared, "Then we'll leave this place together." The instant Chenji Lelay gripped his sword tighter, a system window flashed before his eyes. Mission complete. The lost weapon ozippo began to laugh, scoffing. Do you really think you're leaving here together? In the sky above the group, an immense sphere of energy began to form. A luminous mass poised to violently collide with the ground. Facing the imminent impact, Chenile and Ubra braced for confrontation. With utter contempt, the enemy sneered, "You insufferable fools, still daring to defy me." Without hesitation, Dolapo roared, "Die!" and unleashed his explosive fire rain ability. Countless incandescent blasts rain down upon them. To counter the attack, Ubé raises a defensive barrier. Beside him, Chenjilu strains to maintain the shield as a system alert warns that Fineer's defenses are on the verge of shattering. The ring on his hand begins to crack under the immense pressure. In mere moments, the entire battleground is engulfed by a colossal fiery explosion. Convinced of his victory, Doppo declares that no one could survive such a rain of flames. Questioning if UB had been reduced to ashes, suddenly a massive energy dome erupts over the area. Shielded by the barrier, Ubé and Chenille look up, utterly stunned, the young man shouts Yuruka's name, seeing her floating at the center of the protective dome. Immediately after, a system window announces Yuruka's will to fight has been activated. Another screen pops up detailing her magic hunt ability capable of absorbing and converting magical damage. Witnessing this, Doppo wonders how a mere child could wield a magic shield of that caliber, deeming it utterly impossible. Chengle rushes to Yuruka, asking if she's hurt. With a faint smile on her lips, the young girl loses consciousness. Without hesitation, he scoops [music] her into his arms, assuring her that everything would be all right and that daddy's here. In that instant, he realizes Yuruka had blocked a terrifying attack, one that even the Beast King's shield couldn't withstand. Without her intervention, both he and Grandpa Ubé would have been reduced to ashes. However, a system notification flashes, informing him that she has lost her power and will be stored for 24 hours. Grateful, Chenille tells Yuruka to rest well while he takes down Dopo. The system then confirms the girl's storage. Observing the situation, Ubé warns that Dolapo has been casting spells non-stop and must now be in a skill cooldown. The veteran then proposes they draw the enemy's attacks, creating an opening for Chenile to get close. The young man agrees instantly. Without wasting a moment, Ubé charges at Dopo with incredible speed. As he moves, Chenile wonders about Dolapo's level, assuming it's no lower than Fineers. The analysis window pops open before his eyes, but only question marks appear for the opponent's attributes. Annoyed, the young man realizes he can't view Dolapo's information like he could with the raiders. Across the field, Doppo watched Ubé approach, scoffing. He's as resilient as an insect. Hovering in the air, the Elder brandished his sword at his opponent. Weapon firm in hand, Ubra declared, "The time for a true ending has come." Energy surged into his blade, signaling a powerful attack in the making. To Doppo, the idea of an ending seemed laughable. He only foresaw a one-sided slaughter. Ubé retorted, warning him that certainty isn't absolute. With a roar, the elder unleashed his power while Dolapo muttered his regret for what was about to unfold. Channeling the earth's power, the ground ahead began to tremble violently. A massive rock platform erupted from the soil, rising swiftly. From it, Ubé leaped into the air as Chenilo landed on the ground. The attack surged forward, tearing through the terrain towards the enemy. The released energy split the surrounding rock formations. In quick succession, Ubé unleashed a flurry of slashes, violently striking the rocks. Anticipating the assault, Dopo prepared to counterattack. Surrounded by several energy spheres, two elemental creatures, one of water and one of fire, charged at Ubé, but were easily obliterated. Seizing the distraction, Chenili surged forward amidst the clash of creatures. Dopo, now encircled by dozens of energy spheres, watched [music] UB and Chenille split up to confront him. Arrogantly, the enemy warned them to save their breath, claiming they wouldn't get close like that. Suddenly, a bolt of energy ripped across the battlefield at blinding speed. Sensing its approach, Dolapo whipped his head around. In that instant, Chenille appeared behind him, exclaiming, "The plan worked." Without hesitation, the young man activated obliteration and a system alert flashed. 90% HP reduction. With a grunt of effort, he landed a direct hit on Dolapo. As the impact hit, shackles began to materialize on Chenille's wrists and ankles, [music] pinning him in place. Dolapo scoffed at what he deemed a ridiculous child's trick. However, [music] a powerful blow suddenly slammed into Dolapo's gut with full force. A system window popped up detailing, "Divine action, increases movement speed, and removes negative effects." Capitalizing on the opening, Chenille attacked with God's Fist, an ability unleashing 20 consecutive strikes on a single target. Thanks to another active effect, the damage from this attack converted to true damage. UB charges forward, screaming for Dopo to die and lands a powerful punch. Giving no time to react, the veteran declares this is the decisive moment to strike. Raising his sword, he states it doesn't matter that Dopo sacrificed his soul to the devil for overwhelming power. UB presses his attack, reminding his foe that a mage's greatest weakness has always been their defense. While admitting the strike might seem excessive, he guarantees it will be more than enough to end his life. The blade then descends with full force, aimed at the ground, and the impact unleashes a colossal explosion that utterly devastates the surrounding area. From [music] a distance, Chenille watches the aftermath of the clash. After the strike, Ubé bends over, clearly exhausted. Shortly after, he straightens up and declares the fight has finally ended. Approaching Chenula, UB states they need to split up to repair the various damaged parts of the barrier. The plan is simple. [music] The young man must head west while he will go east where monsters still seem to be fighting. However, Chenula suddenly stops, claiming something doesn't feel right. Immediately after, the problem's true nature becomes clear to him. The young man explains to Uber that despite the battle seemingly ending flawlessly, no system notification was received after the fight. At the same time, UB also senses something strange in the air. In the sky, Dopo appears floating completely unharmed. With disdain, he comments that he never imagined that kid would be able to break free from his control. Dopp admits this allowed UB to get close enough to attack, something he hadn't foreseen. He then claims the power he wields is far beyond what anyone can imagine. As his wounds begin to heal, watching closely, Chenile realizes Dolapo has regenerated all his wounds, just as had happened with the raiders. Beside him, Ubé admits he was wrong. Revealing the truth, he explains that the source of Dolapo's power doesn't come from the devil, but from Hades, the god of the underworld. Surprised, Cheng Lelay questions, [music] "Is he really talking about Hades, the god of the underworld?" In response, Ubé asks if he remembers Salule's parents, stating that the power they used is the same one Dopp now manifesting. The young man recalls hearing them mention something about Hades. In his memory, Argalis turns to a woman and states, "That's not what it looks like." He then observes the fallen bodies, lamenting having wasted another trip and wondering how he'll explain this to Lord Hades. However, one of the men fallen on the ground threatens him with death, questioning, "Where do you think you're going?" Desperate, the man then screams to the sky, "Who is the demon? Why was this done?" These memories solidified Ubra's conviction. Now that Dopo wielded the same power, there was no doubt. Sali's parents' deaths and their imprisonment in Latana were directly linked to him. Dilopo claimed he hadn't expected UB to recognize the powers's origin, but made it clear he wouldn't waste it on them. Hovering in the air, he sneered, "Still haven't grasped that elemental abilities are useless against me?" With disdain, he asked, "Why not just accept a painless death instead of insisting on fighting?" As his body began to gradually fade, he promised he would still torture them with pleasure. [music] Chenulu and Uber looked up at the sky. The elder questioning, "Did he really vanish?" Both scanned their surroundings, searching for any sign of the enemy. Just then, a system notification flashed. Target disappeared. The battlefield plunged into silence. Only the message confirming the target's disappearance remained. Analyzing the situation, Chenilo concluded Doolapo hadn't fled at high speed, but simply dissolved into thin air. Annoyed, the young man muttered a curse under his breath. Suddenly, Doolo reappeared right behind Ubé, announcing coldly, "I'm here." without warning, he unleashed a violent punch into the elder man's stomach. The impact shattered UB's ribs. Desperate, Chen Jalo screamed his grandfather's name. Driven by instinct, the young man lunged with a kick, sending Dolapo flying. As he landed, [music] he glared at his enemy's colossal figure. Then, the young man landed a direct punch to his opponent's face, but the struck body dissolved into thin air. Confused, Chenilo stared at his own fist, wondering what had just happened. Still, he braced himself to continue the confrontation against Dalipo. Suddenly appearing from behind, the enemy struck him, questioning, "Where do you think you're looking?" With contempt, [music] Dolapo called him an insignificant existence for daring to challenge him. A flurry of rapid blows slammed into Chenille. Collapsed on the ground, the young man glared at Dopo, struggling to catch his breath. A system notification blares, warning him his life is below 10% and he needs to recover. Faced with this, Chenille mutters that the bastard has a stealing ability and his attacks are lightning fast and devastating. Remembering UB's words, the young man recalls Dopo's powers came from a god. Realizing this is in fact the power of Hades, the protagonist wonders how they could possibly counter such an overwhelming force. A cruel smile twists Dopo's lips as he asks if Chenile is already starting to fall into despair. He then declares that humans are born marked by darkness, always praying on the weak, proclaiming himself above all, he states that witnessing others despair fills him with joy. Holding a projection of Chenille, Dolapo sarcastically asks, "Do you wish to be a hero and save the world?" Immediately after, he offers him a chance to live, provided the young man can entertain him a little longer. Before the taunt can go further, Ubé's sword slices through the air at blinding speed, heading straight for them. The older man roars for Dolopo to release him. Next, he unleashes the first style of lightning, the blinding slash. Yet, Doolo merely smiles and flings Ubé's sword away. Chenilo's projection remains trapped by an unknown force. With disdain, Dopo challenges Ubé, claiming all elemental attacks are useless against his divine powers. He explains that no matter the elemental strength, mortals cannot kill gods. Faced with this, Chenile wonders if elemental abilities truly can't harm a god, and if the game itself was designed that way. Turning his attention back to the young man, Doppo declares he's already given him an opportunity, and now it's time to decide. The offer is [music] clear. If Chenille kills Ubé, Dolapo will allow him and his friends to live. In response, the young man's projection commands, "Stop dreaming." Enraged, Dopp threatens him, vowing to make Chenji watch UB's torture and death before doing the same to his friends. Multiple rocks are hurled at incredible speed. The attack slams into Uber, who writhes violently from the impact. Coldly, Doolopo suggests that instead of prolonging the suffering, it would be better for UB to die quickly and painlessly. Consumed by rage, Chenille screams for the bastard to leave him alone. In response, Doppo reminds him the choice is simple. Watch everyone die or kill Ure to save them. He then declares that everyone's fate rests in Chenille's hands. Overwhelmed by despair, the young man curses his own weakness, helpless to do anything but watch his grandfather and friends die. Images of Sali, Bobin, Braza, and Yuruka flash through his mind, he remembers his mother, unsure what might have happened to her back home. Torn between fear and responsibility, he wonders what he should do. Just then, a mysterious voice echoes, questioning if such a weak piece of trash could truly be considered a god. Startled, Chenille turns towards the voice and calls out, "Uncle." Suddenly, Chenile finds himself in a snow-covered landscape. With newfound determination, the young man looks back. The white-haired man declares he'd be deeply ashamed if the master he chose were to die to trash like that. Chenile replies that he couldn't harm him with his elemental power because Dolapo now wields the powers of a god. At this, the man reveals that rule only applies to common elements. Next, the man questions what exactly the young man means by that. The explanation follows swiftly. If the boy dies, he too will vanish, which is why he cannot allow his master to be killed by a false god. The man conceds the underworld god's power is immense, but declares that unfortunately for Dopo, he crossed paths with Cheng Le. Confused, the young man asks, "Why me?" In response, the man reveals that while normal elemental powers can't harm a god, the element of chaos is unique and special. In that instant, Chenila grasps the truth. The power of chaos can kill a god. The mysterious man then declares, "It's time for him to awaken to the true nature of this power." Back [music] in reality, Dolapo cackles, "Have you finally given up, Chenile?" He threatens to kill UB, but the protagonist remains silent, his eyes still closed. Enraged, [music] Dolapo conjures a blade of pure energy, declaring, "It's time for UB to die." Yet, he suddenly spins around, sensing a shift in the very air. A system notification flashes, "Rcharge complete for blessing and annihilation slash." Simultaneously, Chenlay's projection begins to morph. The young man activates blessing and the system booms. All negative effects removed, power enhanced. Finding the situation intriguing, Doulapo decides to strike him down first, but Chenile blocks the attack with shocking ease. Stunned, his adversary registers the sudden immense power radiating from the young man. In one swift motion, Chenile shoves Dolapo back. Next, he grabs him, preparing to annihilate him. All his power is unleashed against the opponent. Dolapo's health bar begins to plummet drastically. Without giving him a chance to react, Chen Jila relentlessly attacks, raining down blows and kicks on his opponent. Suddenly, his uncle appears beside him, declaring, "The power of chaos is like water capable of extinguishing any fire." Just then, a system window pops up, showing his newfound power boosts. With unwavering conviction, Chenilo declares, "I am a god slayer by nature." UB watches Chenilo's figure hovering in the sky. Witnessing the scene, Ubé wonders if this is the true power of chaotic elemental energy. Immediately, Chenula asks his guide, "Why am I only now gaining access to the full power of this element?" The man replies, "If your opponent wasn't wielding the power of the gods, I would never have revealed your god slaying ability." He explains, "This power is an absolute taboo. Those who wield it inevitably draw attention. From this moment forward, the gods will spare no effort to send their strongest warriors to kill you." He makes it [music] clear. In the future, your enemies won't be mere pawns, but the gods themselves. A quest notification pops up. Scattered tears elixir obtained. Chaotic trials quest activated. Clutching the vial, Chen Gilelay declares, "I'll get out of this place, even if it makes me an enemy of the gods." The item description reveals incredibly potent recovery and strengthening effects lasting for 1 minute. Without hesitation, the young man declares, "All that's left is to kill that bastard." And then gulps down the elixir. As the effects surge through him, he proclaims, "It's time to put an end to all of this." In a distant cave, Doppo groans, "This is impossible." Confused, he wonders why he's still trembling in pain, even after Lord Hades took his soul and senses. Then he curses, "What the hell did that guy do to me?" A terrifying thought crosses his mind. Could that young man be the legendary god Slayer? Suddenly, an attack slams into him without warning. Chenille's strike violently smashes into the ground. Reeling from the impact, Dopo curses the bastard with pure hatred. Next, Chenulu charges forward, unleashing divine blessing and sacred slash. To evade the attack, Dopo activates his invisibility. The strike passes right through the spot where he had just been. Immediately after, a system notification blared. Scattered eyes activated. Opponent stealth nullified. Dopo reeled in shock, realizing the kid could actually see him. Then, a torrent of blows slammed into Doppo. The system displayed 30 accumulated hits, three burst damage strikes, more damage registered, and another notification flashed. Divine blessing cooldown complete. Another message clarified. Divine blessing drains opponents life. Skill effects nearing end, consumed by rage. Chenile roared, "Go to hell, Doppo." He unleashed all his remaining energy into one final attack. As the blow landed, Doolapo wondered, "Is this the true power of a god killer?" Giving no quarter, Cheni Lelay lunged with the finishing strike. The impact triggered a massive explosion, engulfing the entire area. The shock wave tore through the forest, obliterating everything in its path. In the distance, Ubé watched the explosions flash light up the horizon. Elsewhere on the battlefield, Boan stood firm at top a defeated monster's corpse. Around him, Bros and Foka silently surveyed the wreckage left by the clash. Meanwhile, Salili was completely enveloped in an intense light. Beast King Fineir was also consumed by the same luminous energy. As the glow began to fade, a system notification blared, "Dollopo annihilated. 3 million experience points granted. Immediately, Chenille received numerous items and leveled up five times in a single surge." The system then confirmed. Chaotic Trials quest complete. New functions activated. Overwhelmed by extreme exhaustion, Chenilo collapsed to his knees as Ure sprinted towards him. Reaching him, Ubé placed a hand on his shoulder and called his name. With immense effort, the protagonist lifted his gaze and whispered to his grandfather, "I won." UB caught him the instant Chenile lost consciousness, screaming his name in desperation. In the underworld, a colossal structure floated amidst the perpetual darkness. Countless souls remained trapped within vials, meticulously aligned on towering shelves. Comfortably seated in an armchair, Hades calmly sipped a cup of tea. On one of the shelves, the soul contained within a vial slowly flickered out. Watching the scene, Hades mused, "Wasn't Dolapo's soul the guardian of Latoyana?" Continuing his drink, he remarked, "A god killer has emerged in Latoyana. Ceil should already be on his way. Elsewhere, a small boat sailed alone across an endless sea. At the bow, Argolas stood while a hooded skeletal figure positioned itself behind him. Impatiently, Argolas grumbled about the boat's sluggish pace, though he conceded it was the only possible transport on this sea. Turning, he asked Ceil, "How much longer until we reach Latoyana?" With a calm voice, the skeletal figure replied, "Our destination is just ahead." A voice calls out to Cheni Lei, urging him to wake up. Hearing his name again, the young man finally opens his eyes. Confused, he wonders if the voice he heard was his mother's. Then he screams for her inside the train car, startling the other passengers. The people around him just stare in silence. Looking around, Chenile wonders what's happening and why he's there. An irritated man snaps at him, accusing him of being crazy for his shouts. After the announcement of the next stop, Chenile wonders if he's truly back in the real world. Overwhelmed with emotion, he celebrates his return while the man sneers, calling him a lunatic. The train continues its journey towards University Avenue. Trying to diffuse the tension, Chenille apologizes, explaining he was just having a nightmare. However, a system notification pops up, warning him of imminent danger. Confused, he wonders why he's still getting alerts if he's no longer in the game. The passenger confronts him again, asking if he was looking for trouble. Just then, a man in a sharp suit approaches and barks at Chenille to leave immediately. Not understanding the situation, the young man questions what's happening while the passenger tells him to stop playing dumb. Suddenly, Chenelov vanishes right before the man's astonished eyes. Stunned, the passenger wonders if he truly just disappeared. [music] Soon after, other men in suits approach and ask if he'd seen a student. Trying to explain, the man says the kid just vanished into thin air. The group leader simply stares at him, silent and unmoving. Abruptly, Chen Jilay wakes up somewhere else. He bolts upright in bed, gasping for air. Looking around, he questions if he's back in Latiana, if it was all just a dream. He murmurs how incredibly real it felt, wondering why he heard his mother's voice at the very end. A voice calls him, confirming he's awake. Salah enters the room, a tray laden with food in her hands. Chenjulu asks if everyone is okay, and she replies yes, explaining that UB had gone to help with the city's reconstruction. [music] To his shock, the young man learns he'd been asleep for 10 whole days, solidly confirming everyone had been incredibly worried about him. Before leaving, she says she needs to help others and asks Chenille to find them in the city. once he's finished eating. She also mentions that the residents are preparing a thank you feast, and as their hero, he'll get to give a speech. Still bewildered, the protagonist questions what speech she's even talking about. Already at the door, Saly reminds him not to forget the new clothes they'd prepared for him. Alone in the room, Chenile remembers Yeruka, still trapped in interdimensional space. Believing the small creature must have recovered by now, he accesses the system interface. However, a notification flashes. Operation failed. Intrigued, Chenile wonders why Yuruka hasn't recovered even after 10 days. Then the system alerts him to a new unread message. Noticing the blinking icon, Chenile wonders what kind of message this could possibly be. The screen then congratulated him on completing the prologue and announced that all system functions were unlocked. Faced with this, the young man wondered if the so-called hellish difficulty was why he still couldn't leave the game. Without [music] wasting time, he decided to check the weapon forging function first. The system displayed the basic forging functions, including item creation, enhancement, and destruction. [music] Another window popped up detailing the function for creating tonics, and recovery items. Reflecting, [music] Chenile thought that everything truly felt more like a game now, and the compendium must be for researching creatures he'd already encountered. The interface explained that with the illustrated compendium function activated, all information about discovered creatures and objects would now be recorded. As he scanned the list, he noticed that both Yuruka and the Predator still appeared as unknown, indicating he needed to level up to identify them. A new screen presented the map detection function, capable of alerting him to nearby monsters, and the titles function, which granted bonuses upon completing certain events. The system also detailed the teleportation portal function, allowing him to construct up to three portals in different districts. Next, [music] his attention turned to the development function for the chaotic god slayer. At that moment, the system asked if he wished to use the divine essence to unlock 1% of his total [music] power. Thinking about the future, Chenile realized he'd need to go to the temple to face the divine beast and concluded that unleashing as much power as possible was the best path. With that in mind, he decided to use the essence. Sitting on the bed, he began to absorb the new energy. The protagonist felt the power surge through his body like an intense tide, even if it was only a small increase. Soon after, he remembered the items he'd received and began checking the elemental rings and the frost armor. The armor immediately materialized onto his body. Finally, his attention turned to the key that appeared floating before him. Recalling that the last time he used a key to open a treasure chest, Yuruka [music] had appeared. Chenille wondered what would emerge this time. Bros informed UB that all the injured had been tended to and the border barrier was fully repaired. Satisfied, UB congratulated him on the work and asked about the banquet preparations, receiving the reply that everything should be almost ready. Furthermore, Bros reported that guardians Hicks and Lusious were under Bob's surveillance, but Sulkia had managed to escape [music] the city. Hearing this, Ubé questioned Sulkia's escape, deeming the situation suspicious. Bros commented that being alone, he probably wouldn't survive for long. Even so, Uber sensed that individual was hiding something far more powerful than Dolapo. Faced [music] with the assertion, Braz looked visibly confused. Back in his room, Chenule observed the key in his hands and wondered if it was the dungeon quest key as the system began to recite a prophecy. The system then explained that using the key would activate the quest, but if he died, his physical body would be destroyed. Reflecting on the warning, the young man realized that dying in the game would mean real death. He remembered when he was killed by the Latoyamaana wanderer, noting that on that occasion there was no mention of a link between the character and his physical body. This led him to question if only his consciousness was trapped there and why his body had appeared on the train. Confused, Chenera wondered what the hell was going on and if it had all just been a dream. Suddenly, a voice called out to him asking if he was all right. Startled, the young man turned and the mysterious man explained that this was just his illusory form. The guide then revealed that his exit from Latayana wasn't a dream, though he didn't know why Chenille had returned. Faced with this, the young man questioned if he had truly left the game at that moment. In response, the man confirmed that he had also seen everything Chenille witnessed outside. Chenille explained that a bald man had been chasing him and asked about his mother's voice telling him to leave. However, [music] the guide claimed he hadn't heard any voice and said he'd never encountered a teleportation power like that. After reflecting, Chenille concluded there were only two possibilities for what had happened. [music] The first was that his consciousness had never left the game, merely being teleported to a map resembling a train station. The second was that he had truly returned to reality, which would imply his physical body had transmigrated into the game from the very beginning. Realizing that in both scenarios, the world he was in was real, the young man began to wonder if the bald man was the person Xiaomé had mentioned. At that instant, he realized his mother had been taken and questioned why only he had been sent to this place. The guide urged Chenille to remain calm, even as the guide's own irritation began to show. Simultaneously, the system asked if he wished to use the crimson key and began a countdown. Taking a deep breath, Chenille calmed himself, assuring the man he was fine. But then, he seized the moment to ask if the man had ever killed a god and if he could defeat the strongest being in this world. The guide apologized, explaining his mind was blank, but he supposeded he must have killed a god to be trapped here. He added that all gods feared chaotic elemental power, and he believed that one day Chenile would have the chance to slay the strongest among them. The protagonist understood the guide was right, realizing the only thing he needed to do now was keep getting stronger. With that, the guide warned him. Once his gods slaying power activated, he needed to prepare because trouble [music] would soon come for him. Dawning his coat, Chenilo assured him there was no need to worry, declaring he wouldn't die here. With unwavering conviction, he vowed to unravel every mystery one by one and begin leveling up right after that night's feast. In the city, preparations for the night's feast were already complete, centered around a massive bonfire. As he grilled the food, Rashidler told Salai he'd already said 10 times that everything was ready, and now they just awaited Chenille's arrival. Saly replied, but Ubé warned him not to show irritation with her, prompting Rashidler to apologize immediately. Braz commented to UB that he'd never felt so at ease, admitting that if Chenilo hadn't defeated Doppo, he couldn't even imagine what state they'd be in. [music] Still, he claimed he'd always had faith in victory, having witnessed with his own eyes the moment the young man slew the beast king. Just then, Ubé revealed that Dolapo's power came from Hades, causing Bros to lose his balance and tumble backward. Startled, [music] Bros. asked, "Are you talking about Hades, the god of the underworld?" Calmly, Ubé simply questioned why he'd fallen. At that moment, [music] Chenjulo arrived and asked, "Bro, did UB say something that scared you?" Salely greeted him joyfully while Rachidler was visibly moved to see him finally awake. UB bowed before Chenle and announced, "Since our hero is here, the celebration can begin." Then he turned to the city and began to cheer his name loudly. The villagers joined the chorus, raising torches and shouting in unison, "Hero." Saly called for silence from the crowd, who continued to cheer for their hero. With a calm gesture, she invited Chen Gilele, the city's savior, to say a few words. Beside him, Ubra urged him forward, reminding him that everyone was waiting, even as the young man showed some hesitation. Noticing his nervousness, Ubra asked, "Are you apprehensive about speaking in front of so many people?" Chenile replied, "No." explaining that he didn't feel like a true hero. Everyone who fought to protect this city deserves that title, too. He added that he never would have defeated Dalo without everyone's help, and for that reason, he couldn't face these people if he took all the credit alone. Uber then placed a hand on the young man's shoulder and told him not to worry, stating that everyone there knew they'd be dead if it weren't for him. He added that the people needed a true hero, someone capable of offering new hope to the survivors, and Chenile was the only one truly worthy of that title. B Ross and Rashidler also encouraged him, assuring him he could do it. Ubé reinforced the plea, urging him to lead the people and rekindle the hope that escaping this place wasn't impossible. Chenji Le simply nodded. Then he walked toward [music] the stage where Saly awaited him. As he advanced, he realized UB was right. The people needed someone to lead them out of this darkness. Determined, [music] he understood that to embrace the title of hero, he had to protect those who needed him. In that moment, he reflected that the feeling of being needed by others wasn't so bad after all. The crowd below continued to cheer and celebrate their hero. Before everyone, he introduced himself as [music] Cheng Lei and thank them for their trust. With unwavering resolve, he promised to keep everyone safe and lead them out of Latana. Meanwhile, on a desolate beach, Argolas told Ceil to wait there, assuring him he'd be back soon. Alone in that barren place, he grumbled that even after centuries, the weather remained awful. Deciding to act, he resolved to observe Fenire's territory. Then he transformed into a dragon to verify if that fool had truly been slain. Later that night, Chenila sat alone drinking water from his canteen. Bros and Boon approached. Bros immediately praised his excellent speech, admitting he'd never have the guts to speak in front of so many people. Boan, however, quipped that Chenile was just too [music] thick skinned to feel stage fright. A moment later, Feloka joined them, asking about UB and Salili. Before the conversation could go further, Chenille cut in, explaining that Sali had taken Ubé home. Bros then asked when they'd head to the temple. Chenji Lo replied that first he planned to power up his skills to defeat the divine guardian beast. Hearing this, Boon echoed, "Divine guardian beast?" He questioned what exactly that meant. Boon then explained to Filoka that compared to the other guardians, Dolopo was just a lowranking servant. Chenula concluded that they all needed to become far, far stronger than they currently were. After their talk, Chenila said his goodbyes, announcing he'd [music] get some rest and advising the other two to hit the hay soon, too. Bros watched the young man walk away, wondering why he always seemed so mysterious. Later, alone in a forest clearing, Chenille prepared to train. Checking his status screen, he saw that after defeating Dopo, he had 65 attribute points available to distribute. The system interface explained that boosting his intelligence attribute would reduce skill cooldown times. With that in mind, he decided to spread the points across intelligence, strength, and agility. Next, Chenilo realized he still didn't have a proper weapon and would need to unlock the shop to get one. Concluding that even the worst weapon was better than fighting bare-handed. He made a decision. The system consumed 30 of his levels and finally unlocked the weapon [music] shop. Scanning the available options, Chenile spotted a golden weapon. Flashy as it was, it couldn't compare to Ozul. Still, his choice fell on the Corsair's magic sword, whose MP recovery effect would be incredibly useful. After equipping his new sword, the young man declared that the next step was to face the mission. Just [music] then, the system asked if he wanted to use the Crimson Key, and Chenille confirmed. Ahead, a portal ripped open as the system [music] announced the mission would begin in 5 seconds. The countdown started, accompanied by a notification recommending an equipment check. With his new sword already in hand, Chenile waited as the count continued. As soon as time ran out, he walked towards the portal. The next instant, the countdown hit zero, and Chenille found himself transported to a new location, bathed in the light of a massive moon. In the distance, his eyes caught sight of a solitary figure standing in the center of a lake. A system notification alerted Chenulo to his successful entry into the crimson realm. He began to trek across the desolate landscape. Then the system announced the start of the mission, the endless massacre of Bastet. Hearing the name, the young man wondered why Bastet sounded so familiar to him. The mission screen displayed the objectives and rewards, which immediately grabbed his attention with their generosity. Scanning his surroundings, Chenula realized he needed to find Bastet before the moonset, but he had no idea which way to go. Looking up at the sky, he noticed a complete lack of landmarks that could guide him. He concluded that if he acted without thinking, he might not find his target in time. Suddenly, the phrase before the moon sets echoed in his mind again. In that instant, he understood it wasn't just a time limit, but also a clue to the enemy's location. Turning, Chenille fixed his gaze on a column of smoke rising in the distance. Intrigued, he wondered what could be happening there. Amidst the mist, a massive beastial creature slowly emerged. The system then identified other presences, bastards, undead beasts, all level 60. Four of these creatures charged directly towards him. surrounded. Cheng Xi Lo confirmed the enemy's nature. One of them lunged to attack and he mused that in the past dealing with such adversaries would have been incredibly difficult. With [music] a single sword strike, he hit the creature in front and in the same swift motion cut down several of the surrounding beasts. Facing the remaining enemies, he realized they were now nothing more than free experience. Elsewhere, Argolus found Fenire's remains and lamented that he had allowed himself to be killed. In his assessment, despite not possessing the power of a god, Fenire was not someone easily eliminated. Suddenly, Argolus caught the scent of bugs nearby. Recognizing the familiar stench, he wondered if that guy was around, but he quickly dismissed the thought, convinced that guy had to be dead. His gaze then swept across the numerous bodies scattered on the ground. The site made Argolas question if that guy had truly died or if he'd simply joined the swarm of bugs. Back in Delk City, Uber sat in his office writing in his diary. [music] He noted that sealing the evil god was just the beginning. Hessoid's appearance had sparked the god's distrust of humanity. [music] Consulting the book of prophecies, Ubé read that a god killer would rise from humanity to restore world order. The record stated that the gods as creators began eliminating humans when they felt threatened, pushing humanity into rebellion. In his view, the god killer would emerge as humanity's leader in their fight against the gods themselves. With this in mind, Ubri understood that Chenile was without a doubt the godkiller mentioned in the prophecies. Finally, he wondered if the world's fate truly hinged on a war between humans and gods. Suddenly, Ubé felt an unsettling presence. [music] Without hesitation, he rushed to the window and saw the city's barrier under attack. From the sky, a massive projectile hurdled towards [music] the city. In the next instant, the city was struck by a colossal explosion. As successive detonations ravaged the area, Argolus floated above the ruined city. Amidst [music] the destruction, he watched with contempt, calling the inhabitants miserable bugs. In response, UB materialized in the sky, ready to confront him. Recognizing [music] him, the elder glared with palpable fury. Rage consumed Ura as he accused him of being the bastard responsible for the deaths of Morse and Luna. Coldly, Argolus questioned if he was the guardian of this place, then demanded to know the whereabouts of Fenir's killer, promising a painless death in [music] return. Amidst a devastated battlefield, Chenule braced himself for the coming clash. Without hesitation, he activated a new skill. Then, harnessing divine speed, charged directly at one of the monsters. Carus' mythical mana sword incinerated the enemy units, draining [music] 300 HP from each. After slaying three undead beasts from Berser's quest, the young man gained 30,000 experience points. Analyzing the effect, he realized that if the passive skill stacked with his new ability, mana consumption was completely nullified. Next, [music] Chen Gilelay leaped into another group of enemies. Determined to test his new power, he didn't hesitate, instantly unleashing the divine extinction fold. Confirmation came swiftly. MP spent on skills could be fully replenished. Without worrying about mana consumption, battling monsters became far more efficient. Numerous notifications popped up, confirming the elimination of yet another of Berser's undead beasts. [music] Soon after, all enemy units were defeated. Chenile then opened his experience window, understanding why he hadn't leveled up yet. Doing the math, he concluded that at this rate, the quest granted experience, but not enough to advance quickly. A new notification drew his attention to his weapon's durability, revealing it was wearing down far too fast. Even with current efficiency, this combat method still didn't completely prevent equipment wear and tear. He wondered if leveling up would grant him access to more powerful professional skills. Suddenly, a familiar voice called out, "Daddy!" Surprised, Chenilo asked if Yuruka had finally woken up. Relieved, he asked the little creature to wait, promising to get her out of there immediately. Yuruka hugged him tightly, prompting him to ask her not to squeeze so hard. In a calm tone, Chenula reassured the little one, telling her he'd killed the bad man and they were safe now. Seizing the moment, he thanked Yuruka for saving his life and Grandpa Ubres. Filled with joy, the little creature began to fly around excitedly, perched on his shoulder, Yuruka asked where they were. Chenilo explained they were still on a quest and needed to find and defeat the boss before they could leave. He then asked Yuruka to stay close and not wander off. Together, [music] the two set off running under the moonlight. The scene then cuts to a rainy city s outside a hospital. Inside the building, paramedics rush down a corridor, shouting for people to clear the way. The medical team races, pushing a gurnie, warning of the [music] patients critically weak heartbeat as they prepare an adrenaline shot. In the operating room, professionals try to revive him one last time, preparing to use the defibrillator again. With the electric shock, the patients body arches sharply. However, [music] the heart monitor flatlines, showing no signs of life. A TV report announced it was the 3,000th death by cardiac arrest that month. On screen, a man explained to Minister Sue that most victims were men in their 20s with no prior illnesses and an unknown cause of death. The minister asked if the victims had anything in common. In response, the man revealed that the investigation discovered they all played a game called Cosmos. He argued it was no mere coincidence, and Minister [music] Sue affirmed there was another factor tied to the game. He then revealed that the previous month a woman had reported her son Chen Jillo missing while playing Cosmos. The following week, however, a video of a teenager appearing and disappearing in the subway went viral. Facial recognition identified the boy as Chen Jillo. A colleague then asked Minister Sue about their next move. Without hesitation, she ordered the video deleted. Public opinion controlled and immediate contact with the game's developer to track the investigation. Afterward, the minister began analyzing Chenila's file. High above the city, Argolas scoffed, asking the elder if he was stupid. In response, UB lunged forward at high speed, unleashing a full force punch. Yet, Argolas effortlessly blocked the blow with just one hand. He then countered with a punch of his own, sending UB hurtling backward. Before he hit the ground, Boon quickly appeared to catch him. Concerned, he asked the elder if he was all right. UB ordered him away, warning that he was no match for this enemy. Bob, however, declared he wasn't alone. And at that instant, Lucius and Hicks appeared beside him. Changerle pressed on towards the moon, realizing that the closer he got, the more undead swarmed around him. With each step, [music] he noticed the creature's levels were far higher than any he'd faced before. Considering his weapon's durability, he realized he could only rely on normal attacks to target the beast's weak points. A grim realization struck him. At this rate, he might not have enough time to reach the boss. Still, Chenile charged into a group of creatures. Two monsters flanked him, ready to strike. Just then, Yuruka suddenly appeared, leaping to his defense. Without hesitation, the tiny creature unleashed its power against the foes. Aruck, Chenile praised Yuruka, calling him incredible. Determined not to waste another second, the young man knew he had to hurry and eliminate the beasts swiftly. Meanwhile, in the burning city, civilians watch figures battling in the sky. One man, terrified, asks if they're being attacked by monsters again, while another voices his fear aloud. High above, Argolas turns to Ubé and Boan, declaring he won't waste any more time. Impatiently, he demands to know where the other man is, warning that his patience has limits. Boan raises his sword and declares the village is under their protection, advising the invader to leave. In a flash, Argolas appears before Bob. His absurd speed makes Lucius and Hicks react with surprise. With contempt, [music] Argolas calls Bob a reckless worm. He raises his hand, preparing an attack. Boan braces himself, ready to take the hit. Before the blow lands, Ubé steps forward, making Bob scream his name. Without flinching, Ubé insists he's fine, and orders to get Lucius and Hicks away from there. Confused, Boon asks, "Who is that entity?" Ubé corrects him, explaining, "That's not a person. It's a god." He reveals the enemy is Argaliss, the god of the underworld and Hades direct subordinate, a name that sounds dangerously familiar to him. Then the old man confesses that Argolas was the one who killed Lily's parents, leaving Boban in shock. Ubé warns that their elemental power is useless against this god and states he will stop him so the others can escape. With a cruel smile, Argolas says, "It's already too late. I never let my prey survive once I've smelled fresh blood." Lucius and Hicks position themselves to fight, and Lucius calls out to UB. She declares, "We're not going anywhere." While Hicks adds, the killer of Lily's parents can never be forgiven. Bob suggests, "If we attack together, maybe we stand a chance against him." After a brief silence, Uber agrees, deciding, "Then in this moment, we give it our all." Determined, the four charge forward together to attack Argolas. Faced with their assault, the god merely deems it utter foolishness. With disdain, Argolas declares, "You are all doomed." Immediately after, his body begins to transform. In moments, Argolas takes the form of an immense dragon. Far from there, Chenila levels up and tells Yuruka they'll take a quick break. With a tired sigh, he laments that after killing so many beasts and expending so much energy, he only gained a single level. Furthermore, Chenile notices his weapon is wearing down much faster than he anticipated. After assessing the situation, he realized his current stats made him a beast in one-on-one fights, but utterly useless against hordes of monsters. This hit him hard, reminding him of his skill choices. Back then, he could only pick two out of three, and he'd gone allin on raw power. But now, he understood. [music] The light skill, even with its fixed damage, was far gentler on his weapons and drained less stamina. Regret nawed at him. He wished he'd picked a different class, and the question burned. Why only two skills? Why not all three? Just then, a system notification flashed. His hidden level had hit 100. Chenille's eyes widened. Defeat basted, and a new skill would unlock. He made up his mind. They had to pick up the pace, get new gear the moment this mission was over, he turned to Yuruka. Rested enough? He asked, then gestured for him to move out. Suddenly, a deafening roar ripped through the battlefield. Chenile's gaze shot up. "Is that Bastet?" he wondered aloud. The creature lumbered forward, unleashing another even more menacing roar. Slowly, Bastet's colossal form fully revealed itself. A system notification flashed, confirming the enemy. Bastet, level 1 to 20. Chenula scoffed, a hint of irony in his voice. So, in the end, it's just a giant cat. Then, his tone turned serious. He warned Yuruka to be careful. "If I die, you're gone, too," he stated grimly. With a firm, determined gaze, Chenille took his battle stance. Without a moment's hesitation, he declared, "Time to fight." Meanwhile, in City B, a news report blared, warning of a sudden surge in inexplicable deaths worldwide. Rumors were swirling, connecting the cases to a game called Cosmos. Amidst growing protests, a TV reporter announced that citizens across multiple nations were demanding answers from their governments. She reported that country Z's government had called an emergency meeting of heads of state [music] to address the deaths, and an official statement was expected soon. Suddenly, a protester collapsed right behind her, triggering desperate shouts for an ambulance. Maintaining her professional composure, the reporter stated that correspondent Lu Yao Yao would continue to cover the unfolding events. In a tense meeting room, an official reported the autopsy results. No signs of poisoning, no viral infections in any of the victims. Then medical expert Dr. Lee Newman stepped forward. The cause of death wasn't cardiac arrest, he explained, but something far more complex. He revealed that the bodies showed visible wounds in internal organs or brain tissue consistent with blunt force trauma. The doctor suspected a cruel form of murder, one that exploited the very illusions the human brain is capable of producing. The other attendees listened in stunned silence. He then brought up his involvement in a research project where they taught brain tissue to play pingpong, discovering it learned faster than any artificial intelligence. Dr. Lee Yuman asserted that while these might seem like disconnected topics, his research and the current events were all pointing in the same terrifying direction. He concluded with a chilling thought. We live in a world where there's only a one in a billion chance that anything is truly real. Back on the battlefield, Bastet lunges at Chenille with its massive paw. The creature then charges, raising its claws for another strike. Chenila swiftly dodges a devastating blow. The next instant, Yuruka appears, enveloped in a barrier, successfully blocking the attack and containing the impact. Faced with this, Chenile recognizes the monster's impressive strength. He realizes that bosses of this caliber are as powerful as the Beast King or Doppo, and a direct hit would mean instant defeat. He cannot afford to underestimate it. Unfamiliar with the enemy's abilities, the young man understands he needs to conserve his strength and analyze its attack patterns before taking any risks. With this goal in mind, he activates his ax of god ability, moving at high speed. As he approaches the giant monster, he notices Bastet remains motionless. Intrigued, Chenille wonders why the creature isn't reacting or trying to attack him. Nevertheless, he decides to charge forward and strike Bastet directly, questioning as he attacks if the monster is simply allowing the assault. In response, Bastet summons several spectral beings around itself. The spirits rapidly advance towards Chenile. Sensing an opening, the young man decides this is the perfect moment to act. Without hesitation, he unleashes his gods of destruction ability. The attack strikes one of the spirits headon. Using divine decimation, Chenille tests the ability's power while directing the blow at Bastet. The impact hits the monster, causing visible damage. In response, Bastet charges to counterattack. The monster's reaction catches him by surprise. Thrown back by the impact, Chenille loses his balance, and Yuruka tumbles with him. Without relenting, Bastet begins preparing a massive energy attack. The projectile is launched, striking the ground with devastating force. Gasping, [music] Chenila gets up, carefully holding Yuruka. around them. He observes that the spirits are still surrounding both of them. At that moment, the great beast announces the seal of the undead. Understanding dawn's quickly. The situation is extremely unfavorable. With no other choice, Chenula hurls Yuruka directly towards the seal. The small creature collides with the mark, triggering a violent explosion. The shock wave hits Chenilo headon, kneeling on the ground and coughing. He hears Yuruka call out to him. Then he realizes that explosion wasn't just an attack, but a dead-end trap, like a lock snapping shut. A system notification explains that the mark's explosion converts into blocked damage when hit directly. With this, Chenila understands Bastet's strategy. Approach, mark the enemy, and use the explosion to finish them off. Faced with this revelation, he wonders what his next move should be. Chenilo charged against the summoned spirits. With a swift spin, he struck the enemies surrounding him. At the same time, he noticed the movement speed of the undead beasts had begun to increase. Faced with this, he warned Yuruka to be careful as the creatures were getting faster and faster. Without warning, Bastet lunged straight at him for a direct attack. His weapon barely managed to block the blow. Next, he raised a barrier to shield himself from the creature's assault. Seizing an opening, he unleashed divine destruction directly into the monster's eye. The impact forced Bastet back, but the attack kept dealing continuous damage. Without missing a beat, Chenile charged forward and landed another strike. A violent explosion blasted them both away from each other. Regaining his footing, Chenzul called out to Yuruka, asking if he was all right. Quickly assessing the situation, he realized his only option was to rely on Yuruka's shield for both offense and defense, even if it drained the last of the little creature's strength. What's more, the beast's insane speed made any mistake fatal. Failing an ability meant a long cooldown. Yeruka was already showing clear signs of exhaustion, making it obvious this strategy wouldn't be enough. As if that wasn't enough, Chenulele also had to deal with the constant attacks from the surrounding undead beasts. With so many variables, he concluded [music] that in this state, there was no clear way to win. Just then, a memory surfaced. A long range attack skill his uncle had used during training. Looking up, he stared at the creatures Bast had summoned. He called out to his uncle, asking aloud, "Are you here? Is there any way to defeat this enemy?" Dodging attacks, he kept calling, trying to make contact. Slowly, Chenile realized that ever since the mission began, his uncle couldn't communicate with him anymore, unlike before. With the mission timer ticking down, he understood that failure meant losing 10 million experience points and a legendary weapon. In that instant, [music] Bastet lunged forward again for a frontal assault. Cheng Lelay blocked the blow with his weapon, creating a brutal impact. He then reflected that if he couldn't even complete this mission, he'd never be ready to face the guardian of Nabuda's temple. Refusing to give up, the young man believed there had to be a way to defeat Bastet. The massive creature prepared to strike once more. At that moment, Chenile noticed Bastet's speed had increased again. The attack hit him with overwhelming force, pinning him to the ground. Even under pressure, he struggled to resist. With a desperate surge, he managed to push one of the spirits away. The entity slammed into the ground, triggering an explosion. The impact forced Bastet to recoil for a brief moment. A system notification flashed, warning that his HP had dropped below 10% and he needed to recover immediately. Cheng Lelay knew that with the boss even faster and his life critical, a single additional blow would be fatal. Facing this, he concluded there was only one option left. His last resort was to activate the element of chaos and rely on Yuruka's shield for a final desperate push. Suddenly, a new idea sparked in his mind. Chenille realized he'd always followed the systems instructions for his elemental powers, never daring to experiment. Then he remembered his uncle's blade, a weapon capable of channeling all elemental power into a single devastating strike. This made him wonder, could he channel all his elemental power into his weapon for the same explosive effect? Determined to risk it all, he decided to test this wild theory. Focusing with all his might, he began to gather every ounce of available energy. As he did, Chenili realized this was exactly how that legendary skill functioned. Then he unleashed an incredibly powerful energy attack. The strike channeled through his sword hit with pinpoint precision. A system notification flashed. A new divine skill learned. Moon of Chaos. Immediately, the system window displayed all the details of his newly acquired power. With this confirmation, Chenulele knew he finally had the power to defeat the boss. In response to this new power, Bastet let out a furious roar. Without backing down, the creature unleashed its own devastating attack. Channeling everything he had left, Chenula focused his power into his weapon once more. With a single decisive movement, he struck Bastet, creating a massive impact. Chenzula stood utterly exhausted. He struggled to move, the skill having drained him completely. Looking down at his defeated enemy, he declared, "I won." A system notification confirmed. Bastet [music] successfully annihilated. A second message announced the completion of the Crimson Moon quest, but Chenille suddenly yelled, "Yaruka, watch out." Confused, he stared at the pillar of light descending from the sky. The next instant, [music] the luminous column completely enveloped him. Notifications for level ups and experience gains exploded around him. As he watched, Chenila felt his wounds heal and realized a third skill had unlocked upon reaching level 100. The description of his new skill, God annihilator, appeared in vivid detail before him. Reflecting, he noted the skill was eerily similar to Bastad's. He knew he'd need to redistribute his status points for the next challenge right after the battle's spoils appeared before him. A key, a chest, and an essence. For a moment, Cheni Lelay was stunned. He'd gotten a god essence from defeating Bastet. Holding the key, he deduced it must be for unlocking a dungeon, just like the crimson key. But as he faced the chest, he joked that he was developing a psychological trauma and called out to Yuruka. A notification popped up congratulating him on getting a legendary piece of equipment. As the chest slowly opened, laughing at himself, Chenille told Yuruka he was just kidding and wondered what kind of legendary weapon or gear he'd find inside. A set of clothes and accessories floated out of the chest. The system informed him the coat increased his chances of getting magic equipment by 20%. The description detailed the bonuses and history of the item. Song of Latana, god of underworld spirits. Satisfied, Chenille remarked that as expected of a legendary item, he could now distribute his stats with much more confidence. As he examined the accessories, he wondered how he was supposed to equip them since his ears weren't pierced. Without much thought, he just hit the equip button, and the item automatically fixed itself to his ear. The new set of gear materialized onto his body. A system message warned that the quest dungeon would close soon, and the teleportation portal was already open. Calling out to Yuruka, Chenilo said they needed to head back and go to the temple together. He stepped through the portal which closed right behind them. Appearing on the other side, Chenille commented that he was finally back, but found it strange that it was still night. Wondering if time had stopped inside the dungeon. His expression abruptly shifted as he realized what lay before him. Before his eyes, he stood on a cliff, gazing at a city utterly destroyed. The scene then shifted to a dark alley in city 8. There, a man asked his companion Lee about a game called Cosmos where players supposedly died. Lee just laughed, dismissing it as a senseless joke. One of the men commented that young people got too caught up in the game and forgot to take care of their health. Proudly, he boasted about his physical strength, claiming even girls thought he was just over 20. His friend, on the other hand, confessed he was scared to play, but Lee hurried him along, saying the ladies were still waiting for them. Suddenly, a pillar of light descended from the heavens right in the middle of the alley. The two men immediately turned to watch. Intrigued, Lee questioned the source of the brightness, assuming it was some illegal organization's meeting. A column of energy began to form before them. Both looked up and a monstrous creature emerged from the light. Startled, Lee asked what it was, while his friend identified the creature as a boss monster from the game Cosmos. Just then, a hooded figure appeared, watching the scene from a distance. Without a moment's hesitation, the figure charged, striking the monster with sharp blades. Moments later, it stood victorious over the defeated creature. Meanwhile, elsewhere, Chenila found himself alone amidst a ruined city. He wondered what had happened to the place while he was gone. Soon after, he began to consider if time flowed differently between the dungeon and Latoyana. Suddenly, the mysterious man appeared, remarking that the young man had finally returned. Chenula asked, "Where did you go?" But the man countered with another question, asking if he could truly be pulled from his own consciousness. The statement left the young hero utterly bewildered. Just then, a projectile tore through the ruined landscape. Instinctively, Chenule summoned his sword to defend himself. Before him, Boon appeared, brandishing his own blade. With raw fury etched on his face, he roared Chenilo<unk>'s name. Stunned, Chenilo demanded, "What are you doing here? Where are UB and the others?" Boon screamed back, "How dare you even mention Grandpa Ure? You're responsible for everything that happened." Chenula stared him down, his voice low and dangerous. What exactly did you just say? A small cabin stood out amidst the destroyed city. Chenjula pushed aside the curtain and stepped inside. There he found Ubé lying on a bed surrounded by Salie and the others. The elder was unconscious and [music] a heavy silence hung in the air. One of his arms wasated wrapped tightly in bandages. Shaken to his core, Chenula knelt beside the bed, his voice trembling as he asked why Grandpa Ubé was in such a state. He then rose demanding, "What happened? I was only gone for one night." Sali and bros averted their gaze, unable to meet his eyes or speak. Refusing to accept their silence, Chenule whirled on Rashidler, his voice a raw roar. Tell me what the hell happened. Rashidler's voice was heavy as he explained. The boss had been gone for 3 days. Everyone thought he'd just vanished without a word. The revelation stunned Chenille. He demanded Rashidler repeat what he just said. Just then, Boon stormed into the cabin, ordering Chenille to stop pretending. His voice accusatory. He declared the young man had fled at the absolute worst time. Boon raged on, claiming not just Grandpa Ubé, but thousands in that city had died because of him. Then he snarled, "Who the hell is Chenilao? And why did that god go to such lengths to find him?" Chenjilo remained silent, overwhelmed by the accusations. Far away, Incidiate's public security agency, the night seemed peaceful. A female officer warned two men she'd arrest them if they kept spouting nonsense. Yet, they justiculated wildly in the hallway, insisting they were serious. not lying. When her partner asked what was going on, she explained the two were causing a ruckus, babbling about monsters. Desperate, the men yelled, "We really saw a monster and a woman who could fly. She killed it with a sword." Annoyed, the officer ordered them to leave or face arrest for disturbing the piece. While the two pleaded to tell their full story in the background, an officer was on the phone, one of the men still trying to explain the creature was gigantic. On the other end, the voice on the phone expressed shock at reports of unknown creatures. He hung up abruptly, ordering everyone to gather immediately for superior instructions. His partner approached asking, "What's going on?" He revealed he'd just gotten a call from the director. City B was in a state of emergency. Multiple creatures attacking civilians. Back in the ruined city, Boon roared at Chenzila, demanding an answer. Rage consumed him. He grabbed the young man by the collar, snarling, "Why aren't you saying a word? Do you think you'll get away with this?" Bobin accused him of knowing the enemy would come for him, of deliberately hiding, calling him a cowardly, scaredy cat. Desperate, he screamed, "Do you accept the blame, Chenile, or not?" In a flash, Chenille intercepted Boon's punch before it could land. Boon stared, utterly stunned, unable to process what just happened. With a controlled voice, Chenile apologized, explaining he never intended to leave, but admitted he took full responsibility. Then, he declared he would find and kill that enemy with his own hands. Bros immediately cut in, stating it was impossible. Their opponent was far too powerful. At the same time, he showed curiosity, asking why that god was after Chenille. Without hesitation, the young man revealed it was because he possessed the power to defeat gods. He then recalled his fight against Dopo, explaining that the guardian had sold his soul to Hades, lord of the underworld. The mere mention of Hades's name sent a visible shock wave through Bobin, bros, and Saly. [music] Continuing, Chenulo explained that his chaotic elemental power could stand against a god, and Hades must have realized this the moment Doolo was killed. Elsewhere, Argolas landed, declaring this was exactly where he needed to be. Before him, the temple Lord Hades used to imprison gods rose into view. As the structure emerged from the sand, Argolas declared, "Everything is ready." The colossal structure known as the temple of Kabuli now utterly dominated the landscape. Far away, Chenulele looked up at the sky, questioning if this was truly just a game world. He pondered how everything felt both absurdly real and strangely unreal. Standing on the edge of a cliff, he thought that while senses could deceive, feelings didn't lie, and he realized he couldn't forgive himself for what had happened. Gripped by fierce determination, he turned, resolved to find the culprit, to avenge his grandfather, Ubé, and all who had died before moving forward. At that instant, a new concern surfaced. Was there any medicine in the shop capable of healing UB's wounds or even restoring lost limbs? A system notification flashed before his eyes, displaying an item called the guardian of Eskeipius, a divine medicine capable of restoring a shattered body. Clutching the item, Chenilo declared without a moment's hesitation that he would take it to his grandfather Ubé immediately. Chenilo remarked that even from a great distance, he felt the city ground tremble with the impact. Intrigued, he wondered what could have caused such a massive burst of energy in such a short time. Just then, another notification appeared before his eyes. The message warned that the Kabuli temple had been activated, and he realized the blast originated there. Chenile concluded that something monumental must be unfolding. He then stated that only a god could activate that temple. Inside the temple, Argolas stroed down a long corridor, remarking that he would have defied even Zeus's command if Hades hadn't personally asked him. As he advanced, he recalled that Hades had sent him to assess the seal's strength, but hadn't mentioned the imprisoned gods within that place. [music] Passing through an ancient wall, Argolus noticed an inscription carved into the stone. Touching it, he surmised it bore the name of a god even Lord Hades feared. Halting before a massive sealed door, he declared, "This must be exactly what I'm looking for." Bracing himself to shatter the seal, Argolus remembered Hades's words. With a single movement, he obliterated the barrier protecting the door. Then he introduced himself to the beast guarding the seal, Nabulus. From the shadows of the newly opened chamber, a creature began to slowly emerge. Far away, Chenille wondered what a god would be doing inside the cable temple. As he pondered, he realized that once the gods sensed his chaotic power, they would hunt him down and the rest of the city would be annihilated along with him. Facing this possibility, Chenile asked the mysterious man how the gods could sense his presence and [music] what could be done to prevent it. The guide appeared and explained that whenever the elemental power of chaos was used, Chenille's body emitted an odor that only gods could detect. He added that this trail could only be erased by the bearer's death. In a serious tone, the man reminded him that all power demanded a price. According to him, the only alternative was to eliminate those who wished to kill him. After hearing this, Chenula concluded that if more gods found him, he would need to go to the temple and free all those imprisoned there. The guide confirmed that this was indeed the only way to protect his friends. Back in the cabin, Chenula admitted to himself that Boon was right and he had brought disaster upon the city. Silently, he sat beside the bed where Ubé lay unconscious. The weight of guilt crushed him, not only for his grandfather's state, but for the countless lives lost in the village because of him. In a low voice, Chenille apologized to the sleeping man. Just then, Rachidler entered the room and asked the chief when he had arrived. Chenula replied that he had just returned and Rashidler explained that Sali had found some medicine and asked him to bring it. Before leaving, Rashidler asked the chief not to blame Boan or Salie, reminding him that the city's situation was hard on everyone. Finally, Chenille handed over the medicine for UB's wounds and asked them to remember to administer it properly. As he turned to leave, Rashidler asked where he was going, but the answer was brief. My grandfather will be in your care. Outside, Chenile reflected that he couldn't fix everything that had been destroyed, but at least he could protect what remained of the people and lead them out of Latonaya. In his mind, he apologized to everyone for leaving without a word. Without wasting another moment, he broke into a run, believing that if he arrived fast enough, he might still catch that enemy. Elsewhere, citizens fled in sheer panic as grotesque monsters burst forth from a portal ripped open in the sky. Amidst the chaos, a hooded woman stood perfectly still in the street, unmoving as people streamed past her. She braced herself, ready to face the encroaching threat. A colossal winged creature slammed down violently before her. Over her communicator, a voice reported that this was the strongest beast they'd ever encountered, and that [music] three heroes were on route to assist her. Without a moment's hesitation, she ordered the others to be sent to City S, declaring she would handle this situation alone. The response from the other end of the line was swift. More than three similar level beasts were near city S and needed to be contained. The creature lunged to attack her. Faced with this, [music] the woman realized the two worlds were merging far faster than she had anticipated. Simultaneously, monsters erupted and shattered cities across the globe. Even humanity's most advanced weapons proved useless against these creatures, plunging the planet into an endless crisis. Meanwhile, Cheni Lelay and his guide tked through the desert, a grueling journey stretching before them. Tired, he grumbled that the trip would take too long, commenting that everything would be faster if he had a dragon to ride. He then wondered where he'd even find a dragon right now. Almost as if in answer, Yuruka appeared beside him. Remembering the small creature could fly, Chenji Lelay questioned why it didn't just carry him. A moment later, he grinned, saying he [music] was just kidding. His relaxed expression vanished as he noticed something in the distance. A giant, gravely wounded monster lay sprawled in the sand. Cautiously, Chenila approached, his eyes fixed on the massive creature stretched out on the ground. Chenila instantly recognized the fallen creature as Harakaru. A memory flashed. It was the wanderer Dominator who had killed him during his first visit to Latoyama without the system even issuing an alert. With a raspy voice, the creature remarked that it smelled something familiar, like a known insect. In that instant, Chenille understood that the system couldn't detect beings of that level. Finally, however, a notification popped up, identifying the enemy as an elite monster. With a sarcastic grin, he greeted the [ __ ] stating they'd met again. The wanderer dominator recognized him as the bug it had killed before and showed surprise at seeing him still alive. In response, Chenile declared that thanks to him, he not only survived, but was now far better than before. Furious, the creature prepared to attack, snarling that it would have to kill him once more. In a blur, the creature lunged with incredible speed, initiating a direct confrontation. The monster, trying to contain the assault, raised its defenses. Without hesitation, Chenile landed a brutal direct punch to its face. The impact kicked up a massive cloud of sand in the desert. Seizing the moment, Chenilo mocked, "Do you still think I'm that same weakling who only knew how to use a sword?" Bursting from the sand debris, the wanderer Dominator rose again. With unwavering resolve, Chenilo declared that he was now someone capable of killing even gods. His presence shifted and Chenile announced himself as a god killer. Suddenly, something shot from the sand towards the sky. Gritting its teeth, the creature snarled, "You cursed bug!" as it invoked its energy. Then, it materialized a massive gleaming golden sythe, ready for combat. Assuming its new form, the monster threatened to shred him to pieces just as a system notification detailed its new ability. Chenjula comments to his guide that this must be the idiot's elemental power and they'll need to act with caution. He remembers how easily he'd been killed last time, even with high stats. Now, however, he's level 100, wielding the best weapon and gear he's ever had. With this in mind, he decides that if he still can't win, he can forget any hope tied to the temple. This battle is the ultimate test to determine if he can escape this place. The wandering dominator's attack slams into the ground, unleashing a violent explosion. Chenji Lay blocks the Scythe's blade with his own sword. He then dodges another strike and counters swiftly. The next attack is also blocked with precision. For an instant, the two enter a stalemate, their strength, clashing headon. With disdain, the wandering dominator taunts him, saying, "Chenulo is still as slow as ever." Faced with the provocation, Chenilo takes his stance and announces his next move, a sacred slash. The creature stares at him, surprised, realizing what's about to happen. Multiple damage notifications erupt around the monster as the attack hits. The force of the blow sends the wandering dominator flying back, accompanied by a powerful shock wave. Wounded, the wandering dominator questions how this is possible. At the same time, a system message warns that Chenille's weapon durability is plummeting. Realizing the risk, Chenule understands he needs to end this fight immediately. His appearance shifts once more as he prepares for the final blow. With a firm voice, Chenille declares he will extinguish his opponent. Faced with that transformation, the wandering dominator recognizes the face taking shape and wonders what exactly stands before him. Without hesitation, Chenille charges the fallen monster. The blow descends with full force, striking true. Feeling the lack of resistance, Chenule wonders why the enemy didn't try to dodge. Stretched on the ground, the wandering dominator murmurs, "This is impossible." With difficulty, the wandering dominator tries to say more. Gazing at the young man before him, the monster asks, "Are you my master?" Meanwhile, a cargo plane soarses over the ocean. In a control room, an operator reports the emergence of unidentified creatures and the subsequent mobilization of military squads. Faced with this information, Minister Su demands that Mr. Cang Wan explain why monsters from Cosmos are appearing in the real world. Calmly, Jang Wan replies that the company is just a game developer and the monsters are nothing more than code. Jang Wusan, CEO of Cosmos, adds that the minister shouldn't question him about the creature's appearance. The minister formally introduced herself, then slammed down a demand. Cosmos's operations were to cease immediately for investigation. Jang Wusan merely snorted, calling her Chief Sue. He then explained that the game servers were in Europe and her country had no authority to investigate them. With a dismissive wave, Jang Wusan bid them farewell, claiming other obligations called him away. Finally, Jang Wuan dropped a bombshell. These monsters weren't figments of imagination. They were inspired by ancient legends from across the globe. Minister Sue's eyes narrowed. "Ancient legends?" she pressed, her gaze fixed on a tablet resting on the table. A chilling thought echoed in her mind. Was Jang Wuan implying these ancient legends were real? Meanwhile, in another location, three heroes stood grim-faced, watching a swirling portal. From its depths, three S-rank monsters clawed their way out. Lie grimly reminded them, "Last time, it took four heroes to take down just one of these. Balang Dafu, however, cut him off. Our goal isn't to defeat them. It's to buy time until reinforcements arrive. The three level 120 heroes, Bruce, Balang Dafu, and Liang Kan, braced themselves, facing the monstrous threat head-on. Balang Dafu's face was grim. [music] Prepare for battle, he commanded. Suddenly, a ripple in the water caught their attention. "Another one!" one hero yelled, his voice laced with shock. Balang Defu's mind raced. "What kind of territory lay beyond that portal, spewing out such horrors?" Just then, a colossal dragon ripped its way out of the portal. "Is that an SS rank?" one hero whispered, dread creeping into his voice. "What demons are you talking about?" Chenilo demanded, utterly confused. "And who's this master?" the fallen creature rasped, recognizing the power he'd just used. "That's my master's power." Then it lunged at the young man with blinding [music] speed. Even wounded, the creature staggered back to its feet, a guttural whisper escaping its lips. Its master's name. What do you mean master's power? [music] Chenzi lay pressed his guard up. What are you trying to do? The creature stared, stunned. [music] How could its master's power reside within a mere insect like him? Just then, a ghostly figure materialized behind Chenile. Is that the master you keep talking about? He asked, pointing. The white-haired man simply shook his head. I've lost all my memories, he replied, his voice hollow. Even if I am this master, I remember nothing. Shenzhu watched in silence as the creature slowly slunk away into the desert. Hey, he yelled after it. Is your master a middle-aged man with silver hair? The creature paused, then snarled back. My master isn't human. He is my supreme god, Ra. The name hit Chenila like a bolt, the chief of the Egyptian pantheon. Suddenly, the creature kneels before Chenile, declaring, "Since my master's power now resides within your body, you are my new master." A system notification pops up revealing the discovery of the deity Kipri's database, the scarab god subordinate to Ra's soul. As Keri pleads to be accepted, an option appears. Make him a soul subordinate mercenary. The creature then realizes Cheng Lo is the protagonist of its mission titled Keri's Vengeance. Thinking fast, the young man considers that having Keerri by his side would significantly boost his chances against the temple boss Nebulus. Without much hesitation, he hits the accept button. A system message confirms Keri accepted as a soul subordinate. Next, another notification explains that soul subordinates consume no MP and can stay in combat indefinitely. For a moment, Chenille wonders if by gathering [snorts] more allies like this, he wouldn't have to fight personally anymore. However, a new message warns that each subordinate consumes 30% of all experience gained, and their death is permanent. Faced with this, [music] he realizes losing such allies in battle would mean an irreparable waste of experience. Still, he concludes that with Keer's help, his chances against Nabulus are now far greater. A final notification concludes the soul subordinate initiation process as both remain in the desert. Turning to the creature, Chenile calls him by name, Keri. Then he orders him, "Tell me everything you know." The scene shifts to Earth, where a massive [music] Pentagon-shaped building dominates the landscape. Inside, a man informs Minister Sue that unidentified monsters have appeared in cities worldwide, and headquarters has summoned her to city B. She confirms receipt of the message and orders. Everyone prepare for takeoff in 15 minutes. The order is promptly confirmed. Shortly after, a department head approaches, presenting a recording from city H showing a mysterious woman eliminating one of the monsters. Minister Sue takes the footage, analyzing it intently. He adds to the report that the maritime patrol also sent footage showing three even larger monsters being contained by three individuals in the East China Sea. Faced with this, Minister Sue reveals that after forwarding the recordings to specialists, the monsters were identified as creatures from the game Cosmos and also as entities described in ancient legends from Country R. Based on this information, she concludes the investigation shouldn't just focus on the game, but on these ancient legends. The scene shifts to the East China Sea. There, Lee uses chains to restrain a massive dragon monster. straining, he shouts that he's managed to hold back an SS rank creature and orders the others to hurry and eliminate the two remaining S-rank monsters. Balang Dafu replies that he understands while Bruce and another warrior attack in the background. An archer takes aim, draws his bow, and unleashes a volley of arrows. The projectiles strike another dragon's eye dead. Seeing this, Balang Dafu and Bruce are stunned. Suddenly, Lee is hurled skyward by the chain still attached to the dragon monster. He screams in pain as his arm is torn by the brutal force of the pull. At that instant, another monster lunges to attack the warriors. All around them, monstrous creatures begin to surge from the waters. With no other choice, Baling Dafu and Bruce retreat through the air, carrying their injured comrade. Bruce demands why reinforcements haven't arrived yet, stating it's impossible to keep fighting this threat. Even so, Baling Dafu insists they can't let the creatures reach the city. With grim determination, he charges back into the fray. Suddenly, a man appears before them, drawing his sword against a crowned sea monster. With a firm voice, Jang Wusen tells them, "Leave this to me." The dragon monster lunges towards him, but suddenly the creature freezes. Jang Wusen's blade flashes into full view. In an instant, he encases all three monsters in colossal blocks of ice. Finally, the man declares his technique, Snow Moon Spatial Rift. Keri begins to narrate the story, explaining the need to rewind tens of thousands of years, even before the evil god Morpheus appeared. According to him, after the battle of the titans, Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon summoned Morpheus to punish humans for their worship. This decision, however, displeased other gods like Ra, Buddha, and Izanami. Though none wished to start a war in humanity's name. Still, the ambitions of the three brothers didn't cease. Hades tricked Buddha, then imprisoned Rah and other divine factions in the prisons of Latiniah, Guu, and Tardus. Cipri reveals he spent millennia traversing the seas until finally reaching Latinaya, all in search of Rah. Hearing this, Chenille questions why Hades would bring humans to Latinaya. In response, [music] Capri states that to the gods, humans are nothing more than food. He continues, explaining humanity's sole purpose there is to sustain the monsters guarding that place. With that, the mystery of Latinaya finally unravels for Cheng Le. New doubts surface in his mind. He wonders why Ke sensed Ra's power within him and if there's any connection between them. After reflecting, he concludes the only way to get answers is to find Ra himself and question him directly. Turning to his companions, Chenille remarks that the temple is still far away and they need to hurry. At that moment, Keerri suggests there might be something that can help them get there faster. Yuruka steps forward ready. Keerri then transforms into a massive golden beetle, explaining that this form allows him to fly. Meanwhile, Yuruka begins to fly around him. Watching the scene, Chenulo comments on Keer's transformation and the low mana cost of that form. The gigantic beetle then lands on the desert sand. Keri invites his master to climb onto his back for the journey. Soon after, the creature takes flight, kicking up a massive cloud of sand as it [music] departs. With his hair now white, Chenille declares they will set off to save Ra. And so, the group soarses through the desert skies, riding a top the giant beetle. The scene shifts to a solitary lighthouse at night. There, a hooded woman approaches Jang Wuan, informing him that the situation is spiraling out of control. She warns him that without a solution, all humans on Earth will be wiped out. She adds that not even the humans within the cosmos game will be spared. Jang Wuan listens to the warning in silence. Soon after, [music] the woman activates a holographic interface on her wrist. A portal rips open in the sky before them. A system notification announces that Hades army has arrived in Burggama just as a figure emerges from the portal. The woman then states that it won't be long before Gan Sparades is also dragged into the battle. From inside the temple, the giant beetle approaches through the sky. On its back, Chenille travels alongside the mysterious man and Yaruka. During the journey, he turns to his companion and asks if he still remembers nothing. The white-haired man confirms that his memory remains completely blank. Faced with [music] this, Chenilo realizes the man doesn't know who he truly is and that they'll need to find a way to recover those memories. Carefully, the young man places a hand on his shoulder. In a calm tone, Cheng Lelay reassures him, saying, "Don't worry. Everything has a solution, and this situation won't last forever." At that instant, a system notification flashes on the map, informing them they had arrived at the temple. The great golden beetle approaches a solitary structure rising in the middle of the desert. Ahead, Cheni Lei intently watches the destination they had finally reached. Without hesitation, he orders Keri to descend. The creature then dives towards the ground. Inside the temple, Argolas senses their approach. Almost simultaneously, he catches a familiar scent in the air. As he touches the ground, Keri returns to his humanoid form and bows respectfully before his master. Chenji Lelay thanks him for the effort, but Keri replies that he merely fulfilled his duty. Next, everyone turns to the imposing stone structure rising before them. With determination, Chenilo declares, "All I need to do now is defeat the guardian so we can leave this place and return to the real world." Keerri muses that if the same person activated the temple and attacked the village, they must still be inside. As they ascend the staircases, Chenulele observes the enormous statue positioned at the entrance. Suddenly, a familiar scent invades his senses. Looking up, Chenulele spots a figure on top of the temple. From the rooftop, Argolis watches their approach from a distance. With a cold smile, he states, "We [music] finally meet." Chenille recognizes him instantly. Without mincing words, Argalis promises, "I'll gently sever your head, ensuring you a comfortable death." Immediately after, he charges in a direct attack against Chenille. Their blows clash at high speed. The impact kicks up a massive explosion of sand around them. However, Keri intercepted the attack, revealing himself as a soul servant. Witnessing the scene, Chenila realized he would have been hit without Ke's intervention. In that moment, he understood Keerri was far stronger than he'd imagined. Argololis watched intently, recognizing his opponent possessed a soul servant, confirming his suspicions were correct. Suddenly, someone grabbed Argolus' arm, halting the confrontation. Luscious burst onto the battlefield, weapon in hand. Without hesitation, she fired two spears at the enemy. Before the spears could strike, a [music] giant serpent erupted from the sand to intercept the attack. The spears collided with the creature, triggering a massive explosion. [music] As a result, Argolus was trapped within a mountain of rock. Just then, Chen Jilay noticed a group of people approaching. Leading them, Boon advanced, his voice serious as he questioned how Chenlay intended to settle the score for abandoning his teammates. Inside the temple, Boan grumbled about still not finding the exit after walking for so long. Bros, trying to keep his cool, asked him to wait a little longer. Noting their pace, Saly remarked that at this speed, they should have reached their destination ages ago. At that, Chenulele turned, stating the exit had probably vanished. He then explained that the spot ahead was exactly the same one they'd marked earlier. The conclusion was immediate. The temple had trapped them in a loop. A mark on the wall confirmed the entire group's suspicion. With Yuruka perched on his head, Chenulele wondered when they'd entered this cycle as the system hadn't given any warning. Analyzing the situation, he realized he couldn't afford to waste time while Keri fought outside. Just then, Yuruka called out to him as other group members rushed down the corridor. Bros returned shortly after, reporting they checked all the walls in the floor, but found no doors or hidden mechanisms. Ubé added that both the protective array and the passage formation had already been destroyed. Chenji Lelay asked about the ceiling, but the older man replied they'd need to think of a different way to escape. Bobin then suggested Saly use a fireball against the wall to test if the spell could break through it. She questioned the idea's effectiveness, while Ubé stated there was no harm in trying. After a brief exchange of glances, UB and Salg agreed. Preparing to act, Saly activated her technique, the dance of flames. As the group watched from a distance, then she unleashed an explosive fireball against the wall. Immediately after impact, Saly realizes the spell worked. A circular hole rips open in the wall, revealing a corridor above. Bros cheers excitedly, asking if they've finally found a way out. His expression, however, shifts as he gets a better look at the opening. Before them, an identical corridor appears, just like the one below, with the same distinct mark visible in the distance. Bros instantly recognizes UB's mark while Salili wonders how this is even possible. Furious, UB shouts, daring whoever is messing with them to show themselves. At that moment, Chenila remembers something similar from his studies. Theories comparing Earth to a prison for humanity. The realization hits him. The entire passage was designed in a circular shape, but gravity had prevented them from noticing it before. Faced with this revelation, Chenille begins to wonder how they'll ever escape this place. In a Tokyo building, a woman approaches Professor Miyaki carrying photos of the monsters that have appeared on Earth. She explains that the creatures resemble those from the game Cosmos, modeled after mythological stories from various cultures. The professor's colleague confirms that such monsters are indeed recorded in these mythologies. Faced [music] with this, the woman asks if this means the ancient stories are true. Miatake realizes that if these accounts are real, then what she's investigating can't just be a myth, either. Finally, her colleague concludes in a serious tone, "This isn't a myth at all. It's history." Back in the corridor, the group remains slumped on the floor, exhausted and with no apparent way out. Frustrated by the situation, Boon demands, "Are we just going to be stuck here until we die?" Lusious, however, simply tells him to stop yelling. Unyielding, Boon stands to confront her, but Bros holds him back before things can escalate. Saly turns to Chenule, asking if he's come up with any solutions. He admits he hasn't, lamenting that this isn't a formal mission and feeling a crucial clue must have been missed. Just then, the mysterious man appears behind him, uttering a single word, Uraboros. [music] He then confirms their situation is exactly like the Uraoros. Confused, Chenilo repeats the name, not immediately understanding. A moment later, he recalls seeing something similar in a mythology book. The memory clicks. Uraboros is the symbol of a serpent devouring its own tail, representing an eternal cycle found in various cultures. With this in mind, Chenile asks if they're inside the creature's stomach. The mysterious man denies it, explaining this is actually a divine restriction created by Oneros, the god of dreams. Faced with the explanation, Chenille asks if there's a way to break this restriction. The man replies that if they discover who is casting the restriction and kill him, the effect will be undone. Hearing this, Chenila realizes the implication is clear. One of them isn't real, but a creation of Oneros. The guide warns him to be careful, explaining that the impostor acts like a god within the Uraoros. With this revelation, Chenule decides he needs to act without raising suspicion, waiting for the perfect moment to strike a fatal blow. Silently, he begins to observe his companions intently. Doubt naws at him as he wonders who the impostor could be. His gaze lingers for a moment on Feloka. Then he watches the other group members one by one. Meanwhile, Sali offers UB a piece of bread. Finally, Chenila mentally questions how the impostor is disguised and which of them truly doesn't belong. A woman stands beneath a great tree. As petals gently float in her hand, she wonders what's happening. In that instant, she realizes the dream seal has been activated. Moments later, Hades appears before her, greeting Oneros after a long time. Surprised, she questions his presence there. With an ironic tone, Hades asks why she doesn't seem to welcome him. Onos justifies herself, saying she was surprised since he never visited the underworld's edge anymore, and questions the reason for his sudden appearance. Hades then drops a bombshell. His father, Kronos, has escaped Tardus' prison. Her reaction is immediate. She declares it's impossible because the dreams of Tardus haven't been activated. Hades's gaze hardens as he threatens her directly, ordering her to help him recapture Kronos before Zeus and Poseidon find out. If she fails, she'll take his place in the prison. Without hesitation, Oniros agrees to obey. A shimmering portal rips open beside them. Even after accepting the order, she can't help but wonder how Kronos managed to escape without activating the dreams. Meanwhile, at the Temple of Latinia, a new scene unfolds. A voice cuts through the air, asking what's been decided. Ubé asks, "Are we really doing the clone training here again?" Chenille confirms, "Since we're trapped, we might as well use this time for a new challenge." The elder however reminds them but everyone was humiliated last time. Just then Braz and Feloka approach curious about Chenille's plans. Feloka taunts him scared of getting thrashed again. Saly immediately steps in telling Ubé don't listen to her provocations. Chenjilu silently observes everyone's reaction. Then he turns to UB if you're true to your word the training must happen. The old man agrees and declares the lightning judgment will begin. The announcement stunned Salie Bros and Feloka. Chenji and Ubé exchanged a knowing glance. As one of the 12 heroes, Ubé possessed a keen perception of his surroundings. The spirit guide Ubé commented that he hadn't expected such an idea from Chen Jule. In response, the young man explained that it was impossible to find the impostor through brute force alone. He then revealed that while a clone could replicate a person, there was one thing it couldn't copy: habits. Each individual possessed their own unique way of thinking and fighting. something impossible to fake. That's why Chenille concluded all he needed to do was observe the participants closely to identify the impostor. The guide, however, warned him. If they discovered he knew about the dream, everyone would be trapped in an inescapable temporal vortex. Calmly, Chenulo assured him he would find a way. At that moment, UB gave the signal and told everyone to prepare. The other participants immediately took their combat stances. In an instant, battle clones materialized before them. Weapon in hand, Chenille charged forward, announcing the start of the confrontation. Without wasting a moment, he leaped towards one of the copies to attack. The battle began with each member facing his own clone. Luscious declared he had no interest in this game and preferred to end it quickly to find a way out. Attentively, Chenile watched Raquel's fight against her duplicate. At the same time, Salerie defended herself against her own opponent. With firm resolve, she managed to block the blow struck by her copy. Chenjule informed Salie that he would contain her clone while she and Lusious helped eliminate the others. Without hesitation, she agreed to the plan. Soon after, the two moved away to put the strategy into action. Remaining calm, he continued to observe the battles, determined to identify the impostor. Meanwhile, Bobin and his copy engaged in an intense confrontation. Feloka also plunged into battle against his own reflection. On the other side, Bros unleashed a powerful blow on his duplicate. Feloka launched an attack that kicked up a dense cloud of dust from the ground. The two warriors stared each other down amidst the fight. At that moment, Chen Gilelay's clone charged towards him. Analyzing the situation, he realized that while the others fought cautiously, both he and Lucius had faced Sali's weaker replica, which seemed insecure. Suddenly, a realization struck him. Something crucial had gone unnoticed. In that instant, Chenzle finally understood who the impostor was. Meanwhile, Raquel defeats her clone with a single decisive blow. Sali and Ubé continue battling their own copies. Confidently, Boon declares his victory. Bros's clone slowly begins to dissipate. Moments later, Bros appears behind Chenile, asking how he got there. Without a word, Chenile turns and attacks Bros directly. His weapon slices through Bros's body without resistance. Shocked, Feloka screams, demanding to know what Chenilo is doing. Oban also reacts, yelling, "Has Chenilo lost his mind?" BRS's body begins to crumble into luminous particles. Before everyone's eyes, he vanishes completely. Boan and Foka stare at the scene, unable to comprehend what just happened. At that moment, Chenule confirms his suspicion. Bros was indeed the impostor. The surrounding scenery begins to crumble. He looks up, watching everything collapse. The dream world shatters into countless fragments. An intense light engulfs them all, forcing Cheni Le to shield his face. When he opens his eyes again, disorientation washes over him. Everyone is now sitting on the floor of a dark room. Chenile wonders if they've finally escaped the dream. Before he can speak, Bob grabs him by the collar, demanding an explanation. Feloka helps the real Bros to his feet as Bros [music] asks, "What happened? Why are we all sitting here?" Bob presses him. "What were you staring at?" Calmly, he simply replies, "We escaped [music] the cycle." Before them stands a massive sealed door. Elsewhere, Argolus, who sacrificed his soul to Hades, is finally revealed. He stands before an opponent in the heart of the desert. [music] With disdain, Keri remarks, "I thought about playing a little longer, but this has become utterly boring." He then lifts the man by his neck as his opponent gasps, "Who [music] are you?" The chilling reply comes, "You can ask Hades himself in hell." As the man begins to choke, Hades reacts from afar. A sinister energy begins to envelop the captive's body. This same force manifests over Keerri, revealing itself as Hades's divine prohibition, hellfire. The man collapses to the ground as the energy utterly consumes his opponent. With great effort, he manages to rise. In the sky, a colossal manifestation of power begins to form. Argolas then raises his voice, calling out to Lord Hades. Far away, Hades feels something activate in his hand. He wonders if the divine prohibition placed on Argolas has been triggered and if the god killer is truly in Latinaya under a tree. Petals gently float around the hand of a seated woman. Back at the [music] temple, Uber asks if what happened was caused by a prohibition from the dream gods. He questions how Chenila knew it was the work of a god. The young man starts to answer but hesitates mid-sentence. [music] Just then, Saly asks how he knows something she's never even heard of. Boon, more aggressive, demands to know what else is being hidden. Luscious then intervenes, explaining that every god possesses a unique divine prohibition spell. According to her, this prohibition can only be activated by the god who granted it. She adds that such spells are also effective against other gods, making them the ultimate weapon of the deities. Lusious concludes that it was practically a miracle they managed to escape. She then turns to Chenzi Lei and asks how he knew that killing the imposttor bras would break the prohibition. The real bros looks at him confused and asks what exactly was done. Calmly, Chenilo explains that they eliminated the impostor to escape the divine prohibition, and now the [music] situation is under control. Just then, a system warning flashes, informing them that the god's servant, Kaibou, has been sealed [music] for 30 hours. The message immediately puts Chen Jayle on high alert. Without wasting a moment, he rushes the group, stating that whoever sealed the servant will come after them very soon. Everyone then positions themselves before the massive sealed door. The structure begins to open slowly. Uber warns everyone to be careful, finding the absence of any guardian beast strange. Suddenly, a door in the back slams shut with a violent bang. Chenulo watches the situation in silence. Soon after, [music] Saly points into the darkness ahead. In the gloom, multiple pairs of eyes begin to glow. A horde of undead creatures emerges before the group. The army of monsters slowly advances towards them. Boon is shocked by the sheer number of enemies. Bros watches intently, commenting that these beasts are more powerful than anything they've ever seen in Latinaya. While the demon's individual power is only slightly higher than previous foes, their overwhelming numbers make the situation incredibly dangerous. In the narrow corridor, the numerical disadvantage becomes suffocating. A new mission activates, Anubis' infernal eye. The system warns that the eye will summon a constant stream of demons, [music] and completing the mission will summon the temple's guardian. At the end of the corridor, a massive eye materializes, ceaselessly unleashing monsters. Seeing this, Chenula realizes the beasts are being summoned by the eye, and the only way out is to destroy it. For a moment, he pers most important to do right now. Saly turns to Ubé, asking what their next move should be as new creatures keep appearing. Without hesitation, the Elder unleashes a powerful attack against the advancing horde, striking the first monsters on the front line headon. At the same time, Chenerlay charges straight into the enemy ranks. Deep down, he decides that regaining everyone's trust is his top priority, stopping [music] amidst the defeated monster corpses, he takes a firm stance. Then he shouts for everyone to cover him, declaring, "I'll destroy the eye and end this once and for all." Bob comments with a hint of irony, "He really loves being the center of attention, doesn't he?" UB bros and Feloka immediately brace for combat. With a firm voice, the elder orders everyone to cover Chenile, officially announcing the start of the battle. Determined, Chenille pushes forward, resolved to prove they aren't alone and can trust him. UB lands another devastating blow against the monster horde. Bob grumbles that he can't let Chenil La Hog all the glory, then unleashes a violent attack of his own against the enemies. Bros and Foka fight side by side, while Luscious offers support from a distance. Even so, the undead keep pushing forward without any sign of retreat. Reaffirming his determination, Chenulele holds his ground. Soon, he finds himself surrounded by skeletal monsters. One of the creatures reforms after being hit, regenerating itself. The unexpected regeneration puts him on high alert. A system message pops up, revealing that the infernal demon has transformed into a spirit immune to physical attacks. The creature attacks again, but Chenule manages to block the blow just in time. As he defends, he mentally questions this absurd immunity. At that moment, Bros warns the group that their physical attacks are having no effect. Trying to turn the tide, Sali unleashes a magic attack on the horde. The projectiles rip through the corridor at blinding speed. Watching the scene, Chenilo remembers Sali is their only mage. Yet, the demons raise their shields, blocking the assault and keeping the pressure on the group. I honestly don't know what rating to give this story from 0 to 10. So, I want to hear from you.
