    Episode 87: Boss Raid (3)

    “You’re saying using it will kill me?”

    “…Yes.”

    “What the hell…”

    Dojin was taken aback by Raize’s words. It wasn’t like the Eight Gates Opening, but where could such a technique exist?

    However, Raize looked around as if it was difficult to speak here and led him to a secluded place.

    Once they were alone, Raize cautiously revealed her secret.

    “I said I had a secret I was hiding.”

    “Yeah, I didn’t hear it back then… but what is it? That secret you mentioned.”

    “…Actually, I’m a Skill Holder.”

    “Is that all?”

    “Yeah. Sorry for hiding it.”

    “Well, it’s not like adding one or two ability users will solve anything.”

    “Just one or two ability users?”

    Hearing that, Raize realized that Dojin didn’t know much about abilities.

    “A skill is usually bestowed by a god.”

    “A god?”

    “Yes. Me too… So you could say I’m a kind of priest. Since I’m connected to a god.”

    “That means…”

    “I can also embody a god within me.”

    Divine Descent. To embody a god within one’s body. Just hearing about it suggested an incredible power.

    But the price was too high.

    “A body that can withstand the power of a god doesn’t exist in this world.”

    “So…”

    “That’s why I said I wasn’t sure if we could win.”

    Before wielding the power of a god, one could crumble under that power.

    Indeed, Dojin thought that if one could embody the power of a god, defeating the Wolf King wouldn’t be impossible. If one could defeat a god, wouldn’t they be the Wolf God, not the Wolf King?

    “You’re saying I can embody the power of a god within me. Is that it?”

    “That’s right, but… there’s almost a hundred percent chance of dying.”

    “Isn’t that better than dying without doing anything?”

    While conversing with Raize, the Wolf King, who had been quietly asleep, raised his head.

    ─**Hmm, I remembered.

    With eyes open, he began counting the group. Five women, four men. Just the right number.

    ─**You all, impregnate the women.

    “…What?”

    ─**Didn’t you hear? I said to make children.

    The group looked at the Wolf King in disbelief. Make children? Right here, out of the blue?

    “Why should we do that?”

    ─**If you refuse, I’ll assault the women. My size might make it dangerous, but that’s not my concern.

    Hearing that, Dojin finally understood the Wolf King’s intention. He desired perpetuity. He wanted to forever guard his throne.

    And that was not an easy task.

    It had been hundreds of years since the dungeon was created before he first opened his eyes. If Dojin’s group disappeared, who knows how many more years he would have to wait?

    So, he was ordering them to procreate.

    The children would have more children, and under the Wolf King’s protection, a village would eternally be sustained.

    “Crazy bastard…”

    ─**I’ll give you four days. If no one is pregnant by then, I’ll assault them.

    “Do you think people get pregnant that easily?”

    ─**That too is none of my concern.

    With those words, the Wolf King fell back asleep. Dojin looked at his group. The women were looking at Dojin with anxious expressions.

    The men were glancing at the women with lustful eyes.

    ‘No way.’

    He’d rather die than hand over his women.

    Dojin prepared himself for death.

    Then he spoke to the group.

    “It’s okay. I’d rather die than watch you get violated by that bastard.”

    With those words, he glared at the Wolf King. Hearing Dojin’s resolve, the group each found their own way to cope.

    Three days passed. The Wolf King silently observed our actions without saying much.

    To survive, we requested meals, and he summoned monsters before us so we could butcher them.

    However, as time went on, the other’s patience began to wear thin.

    “Let’s just do it, okay? Damn it, what’s the big deal if it wears out a bit!”

    A thug who hung around with Hanyoung said that. But the girls’ expressions were not favorable.

    Naturally, being outmatched in ability and numbers, they didn’t act recklessly.

    Therefore, they tried to persuade Dojin.

    “Hey, we’ll let you have the one you want first, okay?”

    “Anyway, because of genetic issues, we’ll have to take turns eventually…”

    They seemed completely resigned to the Wolf King, ready to follow his orders. Dojin frowned and glared at them.

    “Get lost.”

    “Shit, did the girls already give themselves to you?”

    They spat curses and disappeared into the distance. Without Dojin’s help, it was six against three. An unwinnable number.

    ‘…They’re starting to get anxious.’

    Not only the boys, but the girls also showed visible signs of anxiety. Dojin took a deep breath, preparing for the next fight.

    Serene Mind. What mattered was his own heart. It wasn’t about skills. It was a technique he used freely, even without skills. Even now, having temporarily relinquished his skills, he could still use them sufficiently.

    With a calm mind, Dojin thought about the Wolf King.

    ‘That guy surely… said it’s the limit that can be surpassed with skill.’

    ─**My body is the limit of flesh, the final boundary that skill can surpass.

    What could that mean? Dojin thought there must be a way in that. He then fell into meditation.

    Self-reflection, looking within. His body was developed beyond measure, and he had reached a state where he could place his sword on the path he desired.

    ‘That’s not enough.’

    Reaching the state where one could swing the sword as desired was not enough. Against an opponent that couldn’t even be followed with the eyes, such a fight wouldn’t work.

    What was needed was prediction, no, even beyond that. The sword needed to be where the mind was.

    ‘The mind is faster than light, and nothing can block it.’

    Heart Sword. Only by reaching that legendary state could there be some possibility.

    And finally, the promised time passed.

    ─**It’s time.

    The Wolf King moved. S**hing. Dojin also drew his sword. What he drew was a magic sword. At the chilling sound of the sword being drawn from its sheath, the Wolf King’s eyes widened.

    ─**If you resist, I will kill you.

    G**rowl, a howl echoed and overwhelmed the surroundings. However, Dojin did not react to it. His mind was already not here.

    He wielded his sword. But he wasn’t aiming for the Wolf King. As if dancing, he continued to swing his sword.

    From afar, the Wolf King, watching him, lost interest when he realized he wasn’t the target.

    In his imagination, Dojin struck the Wolf King.

    Thud.

    In one leap, he reached right in front of the Wolf King. The Wolf King opened his eyes wide, seeing Dojin suddenly in front of him.

    The sword swung. It was a sword flying in a menacingly dangerous trajectory. However, at the same time, it was so peaceful that it seemed unlikely it was aimed at him.

    The Wolf King, reacting belatedly in confusion, swung his forepaw.

    There was the sword.

    Slash!

    *─…*What.

    His forepaw was cut. Of course, Dojin was sent flying far away at the same time, but he quickly shook himself off and escaped.

    Not a single scratch was on his body.

    “I finally understood.”

    ─**You’re growing.

    It was dangerous. If that man was left alive, he would become a threat to his life. Thinking so, the Wolf King slowly walked forward.

    And at the same time…

    “Dojin!”

    Raize shouted. Dojin met her gaze. Then he nodded. Though he grasped a meager realization, it was overwhelming to protect them.

    In the end, humans, at the end, hope for divine help.

    **[**Oh God, bless this pitiful girl. Protect the lamb.]

    **[**So descend upon her.]

    Over a billion volts of electricity surged from Raize’s body. The intense current was so strong that an ordinary person approaching would be burnt to death, sparking and crackling.

    Dojin ran toward Raize. Soon, the two met.

    ─****Sensory Sharing.

    ─****Oh God, I offer this body.

    Indra.

    King of Heaven.

    Divine Descent.

    Crackle, the god descended into Dojin’s body.

    ─**Thunder God!

    The Wolf King, startled, glared at Dojin. Simultaneously, Dojin appeared beside him and swung his Demon Sword Crow.

    Slash!

    A scar longer than before appeared. The Wolf King recoiled in shock, his fur standing on end. His fur, tougher than steel, protected his hide, but the sword wielded by Dojin was a magic sword crafted with a master’s dedication to sharpness alone.

    Shwaaack!!

    Blood splattered once again. Seeing this, the Wolf King rose on two legs.

    The body of the Wolf King, which had been standing on four legs, transformed. With a crunch, the Wolf King stood on two legs like other lycanthropes and swung his arms fiercely with a roar.

    ─**How can a god interfere in a trial?!

    No answer came. Dojin didn’t have the luxury to respond.

    ‘What is he saying?’

    His mind was accelerating tens of thousands of times. As fast as lightning. Yet, he still couldn’t fully control his body.

    Crackle!

    ‘I’m dying.’

    There was a time limit. The remaining time was until he burned to death. He couldn’t explain how many seconds that was. His time was already tens of thousands of times different from an ordinary person’s time.

    But one thing was certain: it wasn’t very long.

    Therefore.

    ‘Swing.’

    Kill.

    ‘Swing it.’

    Kill them.

    ‘Swing the sword.’

    Kill your enemy.

    Thud!

    “Ugh!”

    The hand swung by the Wolf King collided with Dojin. With ultimate physical prowess, and the experience and skill to wield it perfectly.

    Even with divine assistance, he was not an easy opponent.

    ‘I’m going to die…’

    However, he didn’t feel like giving up. If he gave up here, the others would be violated and killed.

    It would be better to die than witness such a sight.

    “Haaaaah!”

    Instinctively, Dojin released his limits. Even after accepting the divine, he unleashed the limits he hadn’t fully released.

    His bones and muscles creaked, his nerves were all burnt out, and what was handling his body was merely a trace of thought and the unconsciousness embedded within.

    However, it could be done.

    ‘Now.’

    He severed the Wolf King’s arm and blocked his attack. Thud, he couldn’t completely block it.

    While flying far away, he coughed up blood. The power of the god was eating away at his body.

    Is this what it means to give flesh and take bones? Dojin looked at the Wolf King. Yeah, you won. Is that it?

    ─**Amazing, to wield the power of the gods in a human body to that extent…

    Can’t hear it.

    ─**But in the end, with a human body…

    Can’t hear it.

    A human body?

    Then I’ll stop being human.

    Give it back.

    Give back the skill you took.

    A body and mind that will never break.

    <…Skill evolution completed.>

    You have acquired the skill .

    Soon, his shattered body began to slowly recover.

    Seeing this, the Wolf King’s expression hardened.

    ─*…What?*

    Dojin slowly raised his sword.

    Immovable Indra, King of Heaven.

    ŚivaIndra.

    A thunderbolt that destroys everything in the universe was unleashed.
