The Novel's Extra Chapter 347

Published at 9th of August 2019 10:15:04 PM Chapter 347.: 347.

Eren started as a squire under Puharen's order of knights as his master had offered a knight's 'oath of guarantee' .

Of course, it wasn't easy . As a squire, his main duty was cleaning and cooking, and he only had an hour before sleep to practice his sword .

But Eren didn't give up . In fact, he saw everything optimistically . Though he was young, his well-built body allowed him to perform menial tasks without getting tired, and he considered watching powerful knights train as a great learning opportunity . Eren gave his all in what little time he had every night to train .

Thankfully, Puharen's knights didn't ignore the boy's effort . It didn't take long until Eren was invited to train along with the others .

Although the knight society was rough and crude, Eren was able to grow quickly because of it .

But luck was far from Eren's tale . As if meeting his master used up all his luck, he stopped being graced by it .

Soon, Eren found out that his master was sick with an incurable illness . It was why he was pushed away to Eren's rural village in the first place . Eren's master had wanted to experience a wider world with the time he had remaining .

It was during his travels that he found the most perfect disciple and returned to the small world of the capital .

Although the master was happy, Eren was distressed . Eren was stronger than others his age, but he was still a child at heart . It was too soon for eternal farewells, and he couldn't hide the pain in his heart .

Eren visited his master every night, watching him weaken on what would be his death bed .

Then one day, as Eren was swallowing his tears next to his master, he met a princess named 'Prihi' .

[Earth – Korea]

I sent Observers all over the world to collect information . It didn't take long for me to realize that the situation was far worse than what I had imagined .

—Oi, Black, wait there . Red over here is about to begin an important battle . I'll contact you later .

Cheok Jungyeong and Jin Seyeon, who entered Vassago's Colosseum, seemed to have their own plan . But Earth's society was crumbling under the great evil that descended .

[A devil has descended in Tokyo . This bird-shaped devil who calls itself 'Phenex' has begun to sing a song of death in Tokyo's sky…]

['Vual' is knocking on the walls of Vladivostok…]

“Spartan?”

Spartan appeared as soon as I called him, gently landing on my shoulder . He seemed a bit bigger than the last time I saw him .

—Prrrrr

Spartan purred and acted cutely . I smiled bitterly and stroked his head .

Unfortunately, I didn't have the time to play around .

Guooooooo… .

A huge amount of magic power began to erupt from Morax's spot of descent . It wasn't a devil's demonic energy, but the clean magic power of nature . This four-colored magic power clashed with Morax's energy .

I instantly knew this was Chae Joochul's power .

—Where are you?

At that moment, Yoo Yeonha's voice rang out from my smartwatch .

“I'm watching Morax . What about you?”

I replied as I took out [Black Lotus's Bow]

—I'm in an underground bunker .

“Did you find out what's happening?”

—Mostly . It looks like Earth is on the brink of destruction .

“…Oh yeah?”

I chuckled . She wasn't completely wrong since Baal had once destroyed a world in three days . Since he should have spent the first day summoning his subordinates like he was doing now, the actual time he took the destroy that world was probably less .

“Huu . ”

I sighed and checked my Stigma . As I thought, I didn't have even a single ounce of it left .

Because of [Time Reversal]'s side-effect, it was slow to recover even with the [Orb of Regeneration] . I could use Overclocking to forcefully create more… but I would have to wait for a good time to do so .

—How are things on your side? I thought you'd know something .

“Ah, well… I don't, really . ”

—Then I guess we're doomed . Because I can't think of anything .

Yoo Yeonha sent the information she collected over the smartwatch .

Russia, Vladivostok – Vual

Japan, Tokyo – Phenex

Spain, Madrid – Astaroth

All of Europe – Valac's Army

Korea – Baal and Morax

Thankfully, Leraje and Vassago seemed less hostile . Other devils were like boss monsters, but these two were like quests .

“I'm trying to come up with something . I'll let you know once I do . ”

—Got it .

Kwaaaaa—!

Morax's arm and the Immortal's fist clashed . A huge shockwave spread out in all directions, and Aether created a barrier around me automatically .

Immediately afterward, a golden flash of light and a huge blade of magic power cut through the air . Kim Suho and Chae Nayun had joined the battle .

I raised [Black Lotus's Bow] as I continued to watch them . As [Athena's Mystic Arrow] was destroyed when it toppled Baal's castle, I nocked a dark ore arrow .

It was then .

“Hey . ”

A woman's voice suddenly flowed into my ears . My head cooled down instantly, and I rolled my eyes over to the side .

“It's been a while . ”

Gulp . I swallowed hard and checked the woman's face . Then, I let out a sigh of relief .

“Geez, you surprised me . ”

“Hahaha . ”

The woman laughed playfully as she poked my cheeks . I took a step back and glared at her .

“What is it?”

It was Medea .

After appearing out of the blue, she handed me a piece of paper .

“Here, take it . ”

“What's this? Rather than that, go help them fight Morax . You haven't forgotten about our contract, right?”

“It's a message from Crevon . ”

“…Huh?”

I looked down at the paper . I quickly snatched it from Medea's hand and scanned it .

[Have you been well, Kim Hajin? This is Crevon Empire's Duchess, Tomer . That's right, we're no longer a kingdom, but an empire…]

Medea spoke as I was reading the message .

“I read it too . To summarize, Crevon wants to help, but it seems like they're not in a situation to do so . ”

“W-Why?”

Medea shrugged her shoulders .

“They're powerless . To be exact, they don't have the energy necessary to leave the Tower and descend on Earth . ”

“… . ”

“I spent hundreds of years preparing for my descent . That's how hard it is to leave that place . How annoying . I came here after all that effort and look at this place… . ”

Medea's explanation quickly devolved into her grumbling about her misfortunes . I, of course, ignored most of it . There was only one thing in my mind at this moment .

[Dimensional Entropy]

A source of energy powerful enough to allow Crevon's army to descend to Earth .

“What a shame, I thought I'd get to enjoy a longer life this time—”

Ignoring Medea, who was still complaining away, I called Yoo Yeonha .

“Yoo Yeonha, are you there?”

A clattering sound rang out before Yoo Yeonha finally replied .

—…Yes?

“What were you doing? Planting an apple tree?”

—W-What? N-No, do you think I'm an idiot? An apple tree, ha, haha .

“… . ”

Her strange reaction made me a bit curious, but that wasn't the important part right now .

“Alright, listen to me . ”

—Huh? Ah . . okay .

Yoo Yeonha quickly became serious . I paused for a moment and turned to Medea .

“Medessi, can you pass this message to Crevon for me?”

[Russia – Vladivostok]

Russia's city, Vladivostok, was peaceful just yesterday . It was fine even when Valac's army was invading Europe and Earth was experiencing a rapid Demon Realm Transformation .

Vladivostok was geographically close to Korea and due to the high number of Dungeons it had, it was a strategic location visited by many of Korea's large guilds . Recently, people's assessment of Vladivostok had risen greatly to the point it outclassed Moscow, Russia's capital . Many key government facilities had even moved to Vladivostok .

The reason was simple . During the past six months where Earth was wrapped in chaos, Vladivostok became famous as a safe haven .

Russian Heroes, advanced technology, and the well-known 'Vladivostok Walls' weren't the reason for this change .

It was because the monsters in its area had been wiped clean by an unknown force . Vladivostok's residents called this mysterious force their guardian deity . Unsurprisingly, dozens of temples, shrines, and churches had been built in the city to worship this unknown god .

Vladivostok's residents and the Russian government wished for these miracles to continue and hoped that this guardian deity would protect them from all evils .

…However, Russia's most famous Hero, Gennadi, thought today would be the last day of this mysterious protection .

“…Sir Gennadi, we're awaiting your command . ”

Gennadi was looking down from Vladivostok's impenetrable wall . On the other side were a huge army and a caped devil commanding it .

“So that's Vual…”

Gennadi grit his teeth . He knew there was nothing he could do against such a powerful force . His mind began to imagine Vladivostok being razed by the endless sea of an army in front of him .

—Open the gate .

At that moment, the devil's hoarse voice rang out across the horizon . The voice carried a hint of demonic energy, shaking the walls and causing ordinary soldiers to collapse .

—I will say it three times only .

Gennadi fell in thought . He couldn't imagine Vual sparing them even if they opened the gate .

—Open the gate .

Gennadi began to hate himself for his powerlessness .

—Open the… .

But at that moment, the devil's eerie voice suddenly cut off .

A gust of wind blew, and Gennadi raised his head .

“…?”

Chwaaaaa—

The gust was cutting Vual's army apart . Soon, the gust turned into a storm, and the formation of Vual's army was thrown into disarray .

Boom—!

Vual's soldiers screamed in pain as violent winds cut their limbs apart . Even Vual had no choice but to scan the area for a clue .

“…Hm . ”

In the middle of the battlefield, he found a loach squirming around faster than the speed of sound .

“A mutt?”

That's what Vual thought . He tried to grab the mutt using his demonic energy, but it squirmed away .

“…You!”

Vual furrowed his brows . His demonic energy split into multiple branches, chasing after the mutt .

The mutt ran but was eventually caught by the demonic energy hurling from all directions . No, that's what everyone thought at first .

Plunk—!

A thud rang out, and the demonic energy was struck back . Neither magic power nor demonic energy was at work . The 'mutt' had only used its 'strength' to do so .

“… . ”

Vual couldn't understand what he was seeing . He stopped attacking and simply observed the mutt .

—Krrrr, Krrrr

He caught a closer glimpse of the mutt – a praying mantis with a strange cry .

However, Vual ignored the bipedal insect .

“You dare look at me with such eyes . ”

Instead, he looked at the existence watching him from behind the mantis . He couldn't stand the condescending look of that existence .

“…Answer me . ”

The devil commanded . However, the existence remained silent . Its arrogant eyes also remained unchanged .

The existence standing behind the mantis was a lonely king with only one vassal – Orden .
