Chapter 507: Beyond the Heavens Kingdom versus Akhan
A few hours ago.
Akhan’s expression displayed interest as he wondered about Black Dragon Vormon.
‘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!”Fịndd new updates at novelhall.com
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...
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.”
