The Novel's Extra Chapter 346

Published at 8th of August 2019 10:05:04 PM Chapter 346.: 346.

The child grew quickly, and the master realized that he alone was not enough to bring out the best in the child . The child needed an even greater role model . In order to blossom as a knight, he had to go to the capital .

His family at the temple understood and supported him . The nuns gave him all they had, three gold coins to use for travel expenses, and the child left for the capital with the knight .

Their journey was not as smooth as they had hoped . They ran into thugs, encountered monsters, and got trapped in natural barriers .

Together, the master and the pupil overcame many obstacles and finally arrived at the capital city .

The capital of Plerion was still magnificent even as the world's lifespan neared its end . Tall buildings and the bustling streets mesmerized the child .

His master, who used to serve the kingdom as a knight, brought the child to the Royal Palace by connections . There the child met a boy who would later become his lord .

The name of his future lord was 'Puharen', a fragile boy trembling with fear and uncertainty .

**

[Earth — Korea]

Morax descended from the pentagram . The advent of this gigantic devil was particularly destructive . His right leg came down first and crushed the grasslands near the border . His left leg destroyed the barriers the Heroes had made .

Just like that, the giant devil set foot on Earth .

“…”

Kim Hajin stared at the devil in silence . Though all Morax had done so far was appear on Earth, his instincts warned him that the current situation was extremely dangerous .

“Hmm… . ”

The most he could see from the ground was the devil's knee . Morax's upper body was hidden from view behind the clouds and the fog .

Kim Hajin decided to increase the distance between them first . Because a sharpshooter had to be far away from his target to be able to aim properly, he needed to be as far away from the battlefield as possible .

“Stay here . I'll cover you from behind . ”

He disappeared, leaving Kim Suho behind . Aileen appeared almost immediately . She had a huge bump on her head from when she fell out of the Demon Realm Gate .

“Hey Kim Suho, what's that?”

Aileen asked, rubbing her head . Kim Suho tightened his grip around Misteltein .

“It's Morax . ”

“Morax?”

“Yes . ”

Morax— the same calamity that destroyed Akatrina in the past .

Kim Suho still remembered the devil, how devastatingly strong it was, and even Puharen's tears .

“…Well, whatever . ”

Aileen increased her magic power . She squinted her eyes and glowered at Morax while stretching .

“Nothing will matter once I kill him . ”

It was then .

—We have urgent news! Devils are being witnessed all around the globe!

—Help! Help! We need assistance!

—Requesting backup!

Desperate voices broke out of the Heroes' smartwatches .

“W-What's going on? Why all of a sudden?”

Aileen was obviously perplexed . Kim Suho calmly leaned over and looked into the smartwatch of the Hero next to him .

—This is Japan! A huge pentagram suddenly appeared on the ground and countless Djinns began pouring out of it… .

—Russia here! D-Devils have appeared here as well!

These voices deprived Kim Suho of his sense of reality . He grew dizzy, his vision clouded and his body staggered . The nightmare of the previous world, which he had worked so hard to forget, seemed to come to life again . This made him sick .

“What's the status quo?”

At that moment, however, a particularly clear voice flowed into his ear . Kim Suho raised his head . Yoo Yeonha was there . She was looking into the current situation with Yoo Jinwoong's smartwatch .

“…”

Her expression stiffened . She looked around again and sighed .

“Father, I'll get moving now . ”

“Yeah, you stay in a safe place . Go on, hurry . Hey, Kim Hwagok!”

Yoo Jinwoong quickly ordered a Hero from Essence of the Strait to accompany Yoo Yeonha .

“My name is Kim Hwagok, a high-intermediate-rank Hero . Please hold my hand, Chief Officer . I have the Teleport Skill . ”

“…Okay . ”

Yoo Yeonha threw a glance at Kim Suho and held Kim Hwagok's hand .

Shoong— Soon, Kim Hwagok activated [Teleport] and she was evacuated to a safe place .

It wasn't long before Kim Hwagok returned to the battlefield again . He held several smartwatches in his hand .

He handed one of them to Kim Suho .

“Chief Officer ordered me to give this to you . ”

“Ah, I see . Thank you . ”

The smartwatch was immediately connected to Yoo Yeonha .

—Can you hear me?

“…Yeah . ”

Kim Suho nodded . He shrugged as he looked into the smartwatch .

“By the way, did you learn a new skill? Your voice is… soothing . ”

There was something special about Yoo Yeonha's voice . The comforting voice seemed to find its way to him naturally even at a time like this . It was thanks to her voice that he had managed to remain sane .

—Yeah, sort of . But I won't tell you what it is . Focus on the current situation for now .

“…”

Kim Suho grabbed his sword in silence .

At that moment, a woman approached him . Her scent was familiar .

It was Chae Nayun, as he had expected .

Chae Nayun looked up at Morax with Balmung in her hand .

“…He's freaking huge . How is this size even possible?”

She muttered, and Kim Suho gave a small smile .

Chae Nayun turned to Kim Suho and comforted him .

“Don't worry too much, though . What's wrong? You don't seem yourself . ”

“…”

Kim Suho remained silent and scratched the back of his neck . He felt a little ashamed of the fact that his fear was so apparent .

Chae Nayun slapped Kim Suho on the shoulder several times and grinned .

“It's okay . Everything's gonna be fine . Grandpa is here . He's gonna take care of that . ”

Chae Nayun was as confident as Kim Hajin had been before . The difference was that her confidence was proven almost immediately .

Koong—!

The surrounding nature resonated .

Grass, trees, the earth, all colors of nature became clearer and began to spur . They quickly gathered together to form a huge human figure .

This was the avatar of the Immortal made by Chae Joochul with his Authority .

The avatar straightened herself up . She was as big as Morax .

“…Wow . I haven't seen this technique in a while . ”

Chae Nayun blurted in admiration . Kim Suho looked up at Mother Nature in a daze . Her legs were trees and soil intertwined, her body was made of Chae Joochul's magic power, and her arms and head inherited the energy of the azure sky .

This was the great 'Four-colored Immortal' .

“Well, let's just leave him to Grandpa . ”

Chae Nayun slapped Kim Suho on the shoulder .

Morax began moving towards the Immortal . He stretched his arms towards the divine creation, and the Immortal did the same . The two great forces crashed into each other, causing a devastating shock wave .

KWaaaa—!

Submerged in the wave of gravity pushing against his whole body, Kim Suho grabbed his sword .

[Vassago's Colosseum]

Meanwhile, Cheok Jungyeong and Jin Seyeon became Rank 9 Gladiators . But Jin Seyeon's heart was not in the Colosseum anymore . She had just discovered that the Demon Realm Gate opened and devils descended on Earth… .

“You need to pee? Whatcha nervous for?”

Cheok Jungeyong sneered at Jin Seyeon as she wandered about the waiting room .

Jin Seyeon turned to him with a frown .

“Aren't you worried at all?”

“About what?”

“Devils have descended on Earth! This is the biggest crisis in the history of humanity since the Great Change . Yet, you're-”

“Say, what do you think we're doing right now? Are we just playing around?”

“…What?”

“We're also trying to stop a devil, are we not?”

“…”

Jin Seyeon fell silent . She had nothing to counter him with . It was true that they were here to protect humanity from a devil .

Not knowing what else to say, she glared at Cheok Jungyeong, sighed, and threw herself on the couch .

“But still . Four devils have appeared at once . Four! Morax, Baal, Phenex, Vual-”

“What? Ball?”

“No, no, not ball, Baal . The pronunciation is similar, but… . Wait, stop fooling around!”

Cheko Jungyeong's sordid joke angered Jin Seyeon .

It was then .

A bird appeared from nowhere . It fluttered its wings and landed on Cheok Jungeyong's shoulder .

“…What's this?”

Cheko Jungyeong and Jin Seyeon looked at the bird in a daze . The bird tilted its head a couple of times, and…

—Peep .

…Chirped .

At the same time, a sentence rose above the beak of the bird .

[My name is Observer No . 3]

It was a rather sassy self-introduction .

“…What? Observer?”

Cheok Jungeyong frowned, and peep—, the bird chirped again .

[I shall help you communicate with my master]

“Haha . You're pretty feisty for a little guy . Just who is your master…?”

Cheok Jungyeong shuddered slightly as if he had suddenly realized something . Jin Seyeon stared at Cheok Jungyeong who had frozen in place .

“…Aha . ”

After organizing his thoughts, Cheok Jungyeong let out a chuckle . He lightly patted the head of the Observer on his shoulder and gestured at Jin Seyeon to come near him .

“Oi, come here . ”

“What is that?” Jin Seyeon asked brusquely .

Cheok Jungyeong answered, “It's a messenger from the Seat of Black . ”

Jin Seyeon flinched .

She continued to wander about the room, pretending to be indifferent .

“Seat of Black?”

“Yup . Oi, Black . Are you currently outside? I'm with Jin Seyeon right now . ”

Cheok Jungyeong whispered to the Observer . About 3 minutes later, the bird chirped, relaying Black Lotus's message to him .

[Yes, I'm outside . But things aren't looking too great . Where are you right now, Cheok Jungyeong?]

“At Vassago Colosseum . ”

Jin Seyeon focused all her senses on the conversation between Cheok Jungyeong and Black Lotus, all the while feigning indifference .

[How are things on your side? Will you two be able to beat Vassago?]

“Of course, I can kill him easily . My companion here, on the other hand, wants to appease . ”

[Huh? She wants to appease a devil?]

“Yup . Sounds crazy, don't you think?”

“Excuse me, but I-”

“Shh . ”

Cheok Jungyeong stopped Jin Seyeon .

Jin Seyeon's face was distorted like a bulldog, yet Cheok Jungyeong continued smugly, paying no mind to her apparent discomfort .

[Does she have a plan?]

“I don't know, she says that Vassago loves treasures or something . So she wants to appease him with the items you made . You know, stuff like furniture . Nonsense, right?”

[Mm… you're right, that sounds a little reckless . It's not much of a plan . ]

Black Lotus's disapproval made Jin Seyeon blush with embarrassment .

It was then .

—So far, six gladiators have achieved Rank 9 .

Vassago's voice descended from the ceiling of the Colosseum . Cheok Jungyeong quickly hid the Observer, and Jin Seyeon looked up at the ceiling with a nervous expression .

—The last match shall begin two days from now .

Six gladiators have achieved Rank 9 .

Vassago boldly announced that he would fight against all six of them at once .

“Here, hand the bird over to me . ”

After the announcement ended, Jin Seyeon stretched her arm towards Cheok Jungyeong .

At that moment, however, Vassago interfered again .

—And, you two .

Cheok Jungyeong and Jin Seyeon flinched .

They weren't too worried, however . Vassago had announced before that the gladiators were free to plot and scheme against him in the Colosseum . So the Observer shouldn't be a problem… .

—Your tribute was well received .

As expected .

Jin Seyeon gave a sigh of relief and leered at Cheok Jungeyong as if saying 'Told you this would work . '

—There's someone on Earth who can make things like this? You're saying that a human-made such a delicate object?

“Apparently, according to him . ”

Jin Seyeon pointed at Cheok Jungyeong with her chin rather coldly . Cheok Jungyeong shrugged, and then pulled out the Observer hidden behind his back .

“Take a look at this . This is a bird he sculpted with his magic power . You can tell how talented he is, no?”

Cheok Jungeyong set the bird free . The Observer chirped as it fluttered around the ceiling . The way that the small bird danced like a butterfly was pretty cute .

—Hmm… .

Vassago observed the bird in silence .

Jin Seyeon whispered, “See? It's working . ”

“So what? I also thought this was a good idea . ”

“Stop lying . ”

“Why,” Cheok Jungyeong added with an unusually serious look . “I had our members investigate, and they told me that Vassago's incarnation body used to be super extravagant . So it's no surprise that Vassago is blinded by riches, just like his incarnation bo-”

—I can hear you .

Vassago declared coldly .

Cheok Jungyeong and Jin Seyeon fell silent .

The devil continued with a chuckle .

—Though I cannot say that the incarnation body's inclination has not affected me at all . As you intended, your tribute has satisfied me greatly . I'll visit you soon . It is only natural for a greater being to award lower being's good behavior . You shall wait for me .

This was the answer that Jin Seyeon had been waiting for .
