Chapter 507: Beyond the Heavens Kingdom versus Akhan
‘Is he truly back in this world? Also, he fired a Dragon Breath that made the warriors of Lumae Kingdom and the monster corps retreat?’
Akhan was fully aware that something like that was completely impossible.
Akhan had summoned plenty of Named NPCs, and he found out that only when Black Dragon Vormon was not killed by the players, he fell into a very deep sleep.
But a player had actually dealt the finishing blow to him. In the first place, if Akhan could summon Vormon, then he did not need to bother taking the Dragon Lord away. In the end, he realized that the being in front of them was just a ‘painting’.
‘So, you’re just employing some petty tricks. Interesting.’
Akhan found the people of Beyond the Heavens Kingdom to be extremely interesting. If it went just as Akhan planned and predicted, Baroque Kingdom would have already been swept away and his troops would have already reached the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom. It did not matter if the dragons were 30% weaker, the fact that they were the greatest existence on earth would not change.
But Beyond the Heavens Kingdom was able to stop their advance with just a mere painting.
‘Still, that’s all they can do.’
The fact that Beyond the Heavens Kingdom was a guild and a kingdom that exerted the greatest influence in the world was true. They were people that they should be wary about. However, that was only in terms of a player’s standard. They would eventually hit their limit since the flow of time was different inside the Athenae worldview.
On top of that, the recent battle that they released publicly was the war against Barras Kingdom, which included their battle against Great Demon Verus. Using that time’s standard, Akhan believed that the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom would be no match against him.
Akhan brought despair to the troops of Baroque Kingdom, who had gathered tens of thousands of troops to fight against him. None of them could utter a scream as the dragons swept them away with the seventh and eighth tier magic spells.
‘The Korean Server will be thrown into great chaos.’
As long as Akhan did not stop with the Baroque Kingdom and the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom, and continued to wreak havoc against the other kingdoms and empires, the entire Korean Server would collapse. It would not matter how hard Athenae tried to recover the situation, it would be futile. And with the collapse of the Korean Server, the Japanese, Russian, Chinese, and eventually the American Servers would collapse too. If all the servers collapsed, Athenae would be labeled as a shitty game, and would then disappear from the world.
“Let’s take down Baroque Kingdom after a bit of rest,” Akhan suggested to Prince Votto. With Prince Votto’s nod of assent, the commanders could not complain.
With how things were going, not only would Lumae Kingdom get Baroque Kingdom and Beyond the Heavens Kingdom, they would be able to get their hands on many more. It proceeded as Akhan had promised them.
After a bit of rest and maintenance, the knights rode on top of the monsters and prepared to launch an assault once again.
Their plan would start with the bombardment of the dragons’ seventh tier magical attacks. This attack would bring down the walls. Then, they would charge forward and take everything in the capital, killing everyone that stopped them in the process.
The commentators began to describe this horrible scene.
[Baroque Kingdom’s downfall is just right around the corner.]
[Just like what you saw, it only took less than half a day for the elite troops of Baroque Kingdom and the tens of thousands of soldiers sent by the other kingdoms to disappear.]
[With the dragon’s magic, the troops disappeared as if their existences meant nothing. Even the masked knights could cut down hundreds of soldiers in one go.]
[This is the end of Baroque Kingdom.]
“Keuaaaaack!”
“Aaaaaaaaack!”
“Uwaaaaaaaack!”
The dragons soared into the skies. The soldiers of Baroque Kingdom that stood on top of the walls of their fortress all shrinked in fear after seeing the huge dragons fly over them. Finally, the dragons manifested several seventh and eighth tier magic attacks.
Grrrrrrrrrr—
A larger and stronger Fire Storm than those created by ordinary mages flew straight toward the ramparts.
Grrrrrrrrrrr—
The skies were suddenly torn apart as dozens of gigantic meteors, meteors that seemed to be able to extinguish everything, flew swiftly toward Baroque Kingdom.
“Hii, hiiiiiiik!”
“Save, save me! Save me!”
“Uwaaaaa! I don’t want to die!”
“God! Please, please help us!”
The morale of the Baroque Kingdom troops was at rock bottom. There were even those that were escaping from the capital as of the moment. The same thought flashed in everyone’s head.
‘This is the downfall of Baroque Kingdom.’
Then, at that moment…
Vwooooooooong—
A golden aura bursted out from the ramparts. The man that emitted this bright and dazzling aura stabbed his black staff on the ground. Then…
Crack, crack—
…a huge force wiped out the Hell Fires that were about to fall down on them. It did not end there. Even the huge Fire Storms that were about to rampage disappeared into thin air. And the name of the man that created this miracle was called out by all of the players present in Baroque Kingdom…
“Gold, Golden Mage Ali…!”
“It’s Ali!”
“It’s Beyond the Heavens Kingdom!!!”
Amidst their cheers, tears fell from Golden Mage Ali’s eyes. He was also a person from Beyond the Heavens Kingdom. This meant that he heard the notification about Ghost Spear Ben dying in action. Ghost Spear Ben usually treated others coldly and only showed tenderness to Minhyuk, being his greatest fan. However, Ben was Beyond the Heavens Kingdom’s pillar and their strong ally.
“Frieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeend!” Ali roared in the battlefield, the sadness in his voice turning into rage and fury. It was completely different from his usual playful cry. It was a desperate cry for Ben, a cry to honor his sacrifice, and life.
“Ridiculous…!”
The dragons were shocked. Even though 30% of their power had been shaved off, it was ridiculous for a human to make their attacks disappear into thin air just like that. That was when they noticed Black Dragon Vormon’s staff in the human’s hand.
‘Don’t tell me… he’s the one that inherited Black Dragon Vormon’s mana heart?!’
‘How, how can this be…?!’
Even among the dragons, Black Dragon Vormon was the object of their fear. The one that inherited Vormon’s mana heart, a player with a ‘God class’, would have an easier time inheriting the power of a god. It was something that was extremely different for NPCs. Ali had inherited the power of the Magic God. He was now several times stronger compared to when they battled against Great Demon Verus.
At this very moment, Ali decided to go all out.
Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang—
He immediately used the magic attacks that he saved, as dozens of gigantic Hell Fire appeared in the air and flew toward the dragons in the skies.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
[C, crazy…]
One of the commentators forgot about his own duty and accidentally murmured his inner thoughts.
The dragons, which tens of thousands of kingdom troops and Baroque Kingdom troops could not do anything about, were falling down to the ground. But a dragon was a dragon. Even though they fell, it did not seem like they received any fatal wounds. However, everyone was bound to witness another shocking scene.
“…His Majesty must be very sad,” Gorfido mumbled under his breath. He came here immediately to provide support after learning that Haze and Luna had been kidnapped from Beyond the Heavens Kingdom.
Gorfido was not really familiar with Ghost Spear Ben. After all, the time that they spent together was not that long. However, Gorfido knew that Minhyuk regarded Ben like he was his own grandfather, the same way he thought of Andrei as his own daughter. Because of that, Gorfido decided to take the lives of the dragons and Akhan, who took such a precious person from his king and presented them to him.
“You f*cking dragon bastards have made my king sad!!!”
Shwaaaaaaaaa—
Gorfido’s power to control and rule over the seas exploded with a wave of his hand, creating several pillars of water from the ground that slowly turned into huge spears of water.
“How dare a measly human like… Keheoook!” Luarc, one of the blue dragons, shouted as he hurriedly created hundreds of overlapping blue shields to stop one of the sharp pillars of water rushing toward him. These shields were absolute shields with high magical and physical defense that no human magic or swordlight could pierce through at all!
However…
Crack, crack, crack, crack—
The sharp pillar of water broke through the shields as it turned into a pair of gigantic hands that grabbed Blue Dragon Luarc’s neck.
“I’ll kill every single one of you, you arrogant lizard bastards.”
“Keheok!”
Dragon Luarc felt terrified when he met the vicious eyes of the ‘measly’ human in front of him.
Baaaaaaaaaaaang—
After Gorfido used his Ten Thousand Sword to stab Blue Dragon Luarc wildly, he took out his Ten Thousand Chains.
Clatter, clatter, clatter—
The tens of meters of chains wrapped around the dragon’s feet tightly, digging through Luarc’s scales and drawing blood.
At the same time, a man flew to the skies with his eyes closed while recalling the figure of Ghost Spear Ben. Ghost Spear Ben had always kept others at bay and was only close with Minhyuk. However, when he was having a hard time getting along with others with his stuttered words and introverted personality, this cold old man had approached him easily.
‘Hoho. Boy, would you like to have a cup of cat luwak coffee with me? I assure you, it tastes amazing!’
Just thinking about the old man was enough to bring a smile to the man’s face usually. But, it was different now.
Crack—
“I will kill all of you,” Elpis declared with sorrow. The sealed power of the Lesser Demon was being triggered as his Devil Judge’s Sword’s Berserk began to run wild.
[Berserk.]
[All abilities will increase by 16%. All skill levels will increase by +2.]
Tremendous black demonic energy swirled fiercely in the skies as Elpis sent a slash at one of the dragons flying over the fortress’ walls. None of those present believed that Elpis’ attack would be able to pierce through the dragon’s tough and thick scales. But…
Shwaaaaaaaaaa—
The dragon that was flying fiercely suddenly dropped to the ground after receiving a sword strike from a human that was hundreds of times smaller than him.
“Grandpa Ben! Grandpa Beeeeeeeen…!” The boy, Conir, cried hoarsely as he flew to the skies, his tears flowing non-stop down his cheeks. As someone with an intellectual disability, Conir had always been honest with what he was feeling.
“Conir will kill you…! Conir will kill you all…!!!”
Conir moved swiftly, cutting down one dragon after the other. It was the descent of the Sword Saint.
There was also the Paladin Corr running toward the knights of Lumae Kingdom that were moving to attack him.
“…I hope that wherever you are, you will be free from the curse of baldness.”
The words might sound playful and mischievous, but this was Corr’s own way of honoring Ben. Corr’s paladin sword burst out with a bright light, a light that could drive out even the darkest darkness, and pierced through the bodies of the knights that rushed at him.
Park, who had risen to the rank of a legion commander, stood in front of 5,000 soldiers on horseback and solemnly said, “Our master, Ghost Spear Ben, has died in action.”
None of the soldiers cried. However, their eyes, which could be seen through the gaps of their helmets, were all shining with unshed tears. They felt afraid up until this moment. However, Ghost Spear Ben was both a great master and a father to them.
Shiiiiiiiing—
Park drew his sword. He looked at his soldiers as the gates slowly opened. Then, he asked, “Are you still afraid? Are you still afraid even after knowing that your master has died while trying to protect Beyond the Heavens Kingdom alone?”
“No, sir!!!”
“Do you remember everything that our master taught us?”
“We remember, sir!!!”
“Can you pierce through your enemies’ hearts?!”
“We can, sir!!!”
“Ghost Spear Ben will forever be with our Beyond the Heavens Kingdom’s warriors! Attack!!!”
“For Ben!”
“For Ben!”
“For Ben!”
The fear in their bodies had completely disappeared. Right now, all they could think of was to get revenge on the people that took Ghost Spear Ben away from them.
Thuuuuuuuuud—
The gates of Baroque Kingdom’s capital finally opened.
Clop, clop, clop, clop—
The 5,000 warriors of Beyond the Heavens Kingdom charged forward to fight against the tens of thousands of monster corps and unknown knights.
[Unwavering courage has been instilled in the soldiers of Beyond the Heavens Kingdom.]
[Their morale has soared to the point that it’s scary.]
[With their fears gone, they will be more powerful than usual.]
[All of their stats have increased by more than 17%.]
With Park at the lead, the warriors of Beyond the Heavens Kingdom rode their horses and followed! Not long after, a fierce momentum erupted from their bodies. And the masked knights, the troops from Lumae Kingdom, were being pushed back!
“Ridiculous…” Akhan, who watched everything with his own eyes, murmured in disbelief. This was because the scene in front of him was truly beyond any common sense.
At the same time, in Joy Co. Ltd.’s conference hall, President Kang Taehoon said, “Akhan, it seems like you forgot. Athenae is a world that can go beyond our calculations.”
