I Login Alone

Chapter 153.

[Super Strength has reached Lv5.]

[Heavy Strike has reached Lv55.]

[Strike Stance has reached Lv4.]

Kenato looked like several humans had been piled up. The gigantic Devil’s Judgement struck hard through his body, tearing it in half and setting it on fire. Even with his great resistance, he couldn’t completely block himself from the flames in the weakened state from the Charge Strike. Moreover, the Strike Stance added up more damage against the giant target!

The most critical strike at the perfect timing made him incapable of fighting with just one attack. This was the reason why Jung Si-woo liked using a hammer. Just one right strike could finish the enemy!

“Ah-rin, treat Se-ha.”

“Okay!”

As Soo Ah-rin rushed to Yong Se-ha, Jung Si-woo minimized his hammer then attacked him. His regeneration was already well-known. So the target of attack should be the tree branches which stretched out from the unwounded part to drain the life force from the surroundings humans!

[Kraggggggh!]

“Good, cry some more!”

[Kraggggh! I’ll kill you!]

Jung Si-woo burnt up all the branches that came out from his body and provoked him.

“How could you possibly kill me now? Stop saying the obvious lines and start begging for your life, since, who knows, I might let you live, right?”

[Spare, spare me!]

“Nope!”

What a weak spirit! Jung Si-woo smiled widely then activated Cruel Charge and Heavy Strike. The several layers of thick tree scales on his body were crushed in an instant, and the god’s sacred treasure revealed itself half-buried inside his body. Retrieving it as a whole might not be possible, but killing him and taking away the mana stone might work out.

“Instead, I’ll stop your suffering soon.”

[Kragggggh! D, Dweisir!]

When his voice was filled with madness, a strange light that was different from the flames set by Jung Si-woo came out from the sacred treasure within his body. Jung Si-woo saw through the mana. It wasn’t healing nor strengthening by the god, but it was merely the process of god activating her will to separate her mana from his.

[I admit defeat, Descendant of the Dragon.]

[Graaaagh!]

In the middle of his horrifying screams, her will was heard by Jung Si-woo.

[To you who has solely faced the power of the legion, I don’t find any meaning in clashing in this imperfect world. Well, other gods seemed like they want to continue…but I’m not a foolish woman like them.]

“Admitting your defeat won’t make any difference…but wait an inferior world?”

[Oh, then did you think that this place is an advanced world?]

The sacred treasure absorbed the remaining mana in Kenato’s body and floated upward. Jung Si-woo held it tight if she tried to run away, but she never planned on doing it in the first place.

[You have already been to other worlds. How were those places?]

“They had already perished.”

[And the mana?]

Mana? Jung Si-woo tilted his head, then thought of something. The world he headed to for his Ascension Quest, the world where the recently encountered 73rd Floor of Setnak is located …… They all had far denser mana than the current Potupou.

And that such factor can be the pillar for the advancement or the progress of the world.

“Ah.”

[Do you see now?]

Dweisir sounded so arrogant since she seemed trying to teach something to Jung Si-woo, but he considered her words worthy of listening, so he remained silent.

[You won’t deny the fact that you were born with extraordinary skills in the world called Earth. You are far bigger than who you think you are. Perhaps there won’t be any individual like you.]

But Dweisir sounded quite relaxed.

[This world has evolved into a Crescent after 40 years since the start of the New Age, and it has been conquered by us at that point. Yes…in terms of the familiar words for you.]

Jung Si-woo couldn’t believe her words.

[It’s merely the 3rd Stage out of a hundred.]

She didn’t have any reason to lie.

[The worlds you’ve been…right. The world conquered by Laia is in the 5th Stage, and the world of Setnak is in about the 7th Stage. Ah, of course, the ones you’ve confronted in those worlds are classified as the weak ones.]

“Ha.”

[The children of this world are just too weak. They can’t even accept much of my power, and even if they did, this is all they can do with it…but, don’t think that the other worlds you will encounter from now on will be something similar with this.]

The legion god Dweisir offered what was once her power, the sacred treasure, to Jung Si-woo, standing by dumbfounded as his view of the world suddenly widened. She willingly paid the price for the entertainment that he showed her. Her loyal servant had died as a result, but she didn’t seem to be bothered. Although he was the strongest servant in this world, he was merely a weakling compared to the rest of her servants.

[I’ll hope for our next encounter, little Dragon. But if you are a brute next time, you might as well die.]

The voice ended as Jung Si-woo cut her off. He put the sacred treasure into his inventory by force, along with the withered corpse of the monster that lost the blessing of his god. Though the god personally took away his power, his achievements were passed down to Jung Si-woo, which raised his level by 2. The penalty for Super Strength kicked in as the time ran out, but Jung Si-woo was able to withstand it.

He mumbled in a deep voice.

“So this is only Stage 3….”

His thoughts weren’t complicated. Although Kenato was a monster enhanced by the legion’s power, Jung Si-woo barely managed to kill him with Charge Strike after getting help from Yong Se-ha to make an opening…and yet, he was a boss of Stage 3. Jung Si-woo ended up smiling.

“Then there are 97 more stages left.”

Speaking of what he was feeling right now, there was just one emotion. It was joy. Happiness for the fact that there still were places that he had to reach.

“I will become stronger.”

To clear till the 100th Stage, he needed to become stronger than ever so that he could crush away those boasting of their powers. He felt refreshed as his body was wracked with pain from the penalty of Super Strength as a gift for his awakening.

“Oh.”

There was a giant castle that was gradually being constructed over the sky.

“Th-the Training Center is…”

“Oh my goodness, the Training Center is being built. It means the legion god has left completely!”

“Wings! Look, there are pair of wings on your back!”

“Same as you!”

The world’s Training Center was built once again as the power of the legion god disappeared, and the new resistance was reformed. It was surely an overwhelming change, but the result would be the same if the factions of the other gods became stronger.

“But there’s still the faction of the flame god! We need to crush them!”

“This opportunity…I won’t let it go to waste!”

The humans gained hope and roared out courageously. They didn’t back down, and the monsters that lost the blessings of Godrecoiled couldn’t defeat them anymore. Jung Si-woo confirmed that humans no longer suffer from the voices of the god even without his Mana Drain, deactivating it.

He couldn’t overwhelm Kenato because he couldn’t bring out his full strength as he covered the area with his Mana Drain, though there were some differences in their stats. However, there was no reason for an excuse since he had won.

“Whew…”

The deputy of the flame god Paira was still alive, but Caina would finish her off soon. He cheered for her silently and headed to Yong Se-ha.

“How’s Se-ha doing?”

“He needed constant healing just a moment ago, but it became all right as he leveled up.”

Ah-rin sighed as she finished the treatment, and she stepped back. She was right. Yong Se-ha lost his consciousness momentarily, regaining it as he leveled up.

“Ah, Hyeong-nim.”

He cowered in pain as he quickly raised his body while looking at Jung Si-woo, but he still grinned.

“Hehehe…my body still aches a bit. But moreover, did I do good Hyeong-nim?”

“It was awesome.”

Honestly, Jung Si-woo expected to be hit by the branches several times until the completion of his Charge Strike, but he managed to deal a clean hit due to Yong Se-ha’s assist that was beyond his expectation. It was certain that Se-ha did a great job as a Charger and a Tanker.

“I didn’t even know that Yong Se-ha was hiding.”

“It was possible since Hyeong-nim helped me with hiding skill. He sure is a genius at controlling the battlefield.”

“Anyways, you did a great job. Your Charge looks fancy now.”

“Hahaha…krgh.”

Although he looked all right, there seemed to be some internal injuries that couldn’t be healed through spells and leveling up. Jung Si-woo decided to postpone the post-battle analysis conference, and he lifted Yong Se-ha after making him small.

[Thank you for entrusting the battle to me, Master. Here are the spoils of war.]

Caina returned with excellent timing. Paira had turned into a fire lizard, and her corpse was dragged along by Caina, who then gave it over to Jung Si-woo.

“This isn’t a spoil of war but rather, an entire corpse. This…no, isn’t the interpretation of a Knight different from how we generally perceive it?”

[It was a good fight in a long time. Even the feeling of leveling up felt nostalgic.]

Caina completely ignored Jung Si-woo’s comment. Surely, it had been quite some time that she had a body that could experience a level-up.

“Even you experienced the level up, you….”

[My spirit, which I had since the day I was turned into a Death Knight, has become stronger. It’s something expected since I’ve managed to completely harmonize my body and my spirit.]

Jung Si-woo extracted the fragment of the flame god…Paira’s mana stone from her corpse, which was combined with a half-melted sacred treasure, and he absorbed it into his Devil’s Judgement. At that moment, the poison attribute of Devil’s Judgement was enhanced to A+ rank. Even the attack power increased.

“This is the happiness of enhancement.”

“I believe that’s something different, Oppa….”

Brutely using the power of god to enhance the weapon made through the collection of gods’ powers. If someone else mimicked him, he would be in big trouble. Jung Si-woo smiled and turned back while twirling his hammer in the air.

“Shall we return to earth after finishing up what’s left?”

The battle continued for another two hours and ended as the forces of the flame god were exterminated. No gods could pull strings in Potupou for a while now.
