Yoon Geon-woo was retired.

There’s no need to keep him alive, though.

Due to the Ark system, attacks with murderous intent are not effective anyway.

‘The stronger the murderous intent. The more lethal the attack, the more limited its power becomes.’

There is no way to exploit the loopholes in the Ark system.

I knew for sure from what happened a little while ago.

Yoon Geon-woo is no match for me at all.

This means that the enemy will not be a threat in the future.

‘Well… have I grown that much?’

In fact, the final quest in hard mode had a reputation for being difficult even in the original.

Human rights gacha characters with a fraud rating of over 4 stars at birth.

Yoon Geon-woo is an opponent that is difficult to catch even with a party made by pushing all of those characters to break through their limits.

However, I defeated Yoon Geon-woo through solo combat, not through party play.

If I had been an ordinary student and not an unknown person, I might have just celebrated because I was so happy that I had defeated Yoon Geon-woo.

‘Come to think of it. ‘The current confrontation must be being broadcast outside.’

As an apostle of Valhalla, Yoon Geon-woo’s defeat would not have even been considered a possibility.

So he must have been thinking of shamelessly broadcasting it to the outside world.

In reality, the chaotic weapons they used were threatening.

‘The problem is that it’s of no use to me.’

My 3rd power, Chaos Mirror Prison, is pure chaos.

It could not even be compared to chaotic weapons that had artificially created chaotic properties.

‘It was the same with Yoon Geon-woo’s weapons and equipment.’

In particular, Yoon Geon-woo was provided with the most advanced equipment.

Even in the same attribute, the one with an overwhelming advantage is the power of chaos I possess.

So it was just loud like armor.

The defensive power of that equipment was completely nullified before my power.

‘Because it was broken so cruelly. It will be difficult for Yoon Geon-woo to regain his former reputation.’

Not only that.

I also had better luck with colleagues than Yoon Geon-woo.

It was a great help that my colleagues, Ignition, did everything in their power to pave the way.

There were 10 seconds left until the clear time.

If I had taken the time to deal with True Opposition executives, I would have been in trouble.

Among the group, if even one person had a fear of True Opposition.

The current clear score would never have been created.

‘Everyone is thankful.’

Even though it’s a party I organized myself.

I couldn’t help but be grateful to the party members who believed in me and followed me.

But now I had to be more calm.

‘It’s not all over.’

I had to hurry and chase down An Yu-min, who was heading deep into the underground tower.

[The final quest has been cleared.]

[You are qualified to hold Letisane’s legacy.]

The notification I had been waiting for so long was activated in the system window.

‘As expected, Letisane’s legacy lies deep within the underground tower.’

In the first place, the legacy that Letisane left behind for An Yu-min.

So, you will be able to confirm the true nature of the item at the place where An Yu-min is heading.

It was the moment when I turned my back on the fallen Yoon Geon-woo.

The system notification window has been newly activated.

[Letisane’s Orb has awakened.]

‘The awakening of the orb?’

I then read the item description that popped up.

​

[Item]========================

​

[Evaluate the target item.]

​

* Name: Letisane’s Dividing Orb / Legend+ / Fire / lv.50 (max)

▣ Details

: This is the magatama of the great wizard Letisane, who protected the collapsing world. The ancient mystery within the orb shimmers like a mirage.

: When a qualified person possesses it, the power of ‘division’ is awakened.

​

==============================​​​​​​​​

I quickly read the explanation and was excited.

‘Legend level? It’s definitely the highest grade…’

In addition, the orb has evolved into a plus-grade item that is superior in its class.

Above all, the power of ‘division’ described in the description.

I became aware of the power writhing inside the orb I was holding, and immediately got goosebumps.

‘It’s a power that surpasses the demonic power I used.’

Even though he had only awakened one of the three divine powers, the weight of the power within him was on a completely different level.

Not only that.

​​​​

[Hidden perks will be unlocked when you possess all three of Letisane’s sacred weapons.]

It says that if you obtain the remaining two legacies, hidden perks will be unlocked.

Two hidden titles I have.

‘Unknown and the cold avenger of fire.’

With that title, he has grown to the point where he can beat Yoon Geon-woo.

So, if you get all that inheritance in your hands.

I certainly didn’t know if he could even surpass Song Yu-hwan.

I was in a hurry.

“I’m glad everyone is safe!”

All of Ignition’s colleagues survived.

I hurriedly headed to the deep part of the underground tower with my companions.

***

Meanwhile, Aegis arrived at the core of the underground tower much faster than the other cadets.

And in the last section of the dungeon, the three people of Aegis were astonished.

“Uh… what happened?”

Jeong Woon-kyung said in a trembling voice.

But no one could answer that question.

Song Si-ah and Ha Ye-eun were frozen in place and couldn’t even move properly.

‘What… what on earth is that?’

Her body was shaking, as if she had a bad cold and was shivering with chills.

That thing is absolute horror.

Song Xia looked at the source of the fear in front of her.

“……”

Ahn Yu-min, a female cadet with a familiar appearance.

However, this was not the An Yumin that Song Si or other Aegis members knew.

I couldn’t possibly explain it in words.

‘What… I’m scared…’

Fear is an emotion that cannot exist in Song Xia, a half-vampire.

Moreover, she was a special vampire who had awakened to Jinhyeol’s blood.

However, the moment I saw An Yu-min in front of me, I was unable to calm the fear I felt throughout my body at all.

That being is pure evil.

Or because it felt like nothing but death itself.

Uuuu-

The heart of the underground tower.

The place resonated.

This place was different from the scenery of any other school dungeon in Theia that Song Xia knew.

The scenery is like an ancient forest completely untouched by human hands.

Even the small trunks of the trees covering the forest were as huge as hundreds of years old tree trunks.

And the energy emitted by the trees in that forest was so ominous that it could not be considered natural at all.

‘Obviously, that thing is the energy of chaos…’

In the middle of the forest.

In the middle of it, there was a dark red tree growing all the way to the sky.

The moment I saw that tree, the word that came to mind was world tree.

‘But it’s different from the world tree I know…’

The World Tree is the source of all sub-races.

It was also the place where the source of all magic on Earth grew.

The source of the supernatural ability that exists in Europe is designated as a special area and no one is allowed to enter.

When Song Xia was young, she once toured the World Tree with her father.

However, it was not the time to recall such memories.

Jeong Woon-kyung shouted.

“That… That World Tree, no, an ominous entity! I am protecting Yumin!”

What Jeong Woon-kyung said was right.

The moment Ahn Yu-min entered the core, he began to emit an ominous energy.

And as if resonating with An Yu-min, the trunk of the world tree began to surround her.

Watching that scene, Jeong Woon-kyung felt as if she was going to fall to her knees in extreme fear.

‘How can I, a member of the royal family of the demon tribe… with the power of anti-demon…’

Ordinary hexes and curses do not have the slightest effect on Jeong Woon-kyung, whose blood flows with Jinhyeol.

But the dark red world tree.

No, more precisely, Jeong Woon-gyeong felt the fear of death due to the evil energy emitted by An Yu-min, who had assimilated with the unholy world tree.

‘Ahn Yu-min. No, that being is dangerous. No, it is beyond dangerous and will bring destruction to the world!’

When An Yu-min assimilated with the world tree, surprisingly, the roots moved and created an altar.

And I saw two objects placed on the altar.

‘Is that a dagger and a mirror?’

I’m not sure what kind of item it is, though.

I sensed it to some extent through my intuition.

‘I think those items are special enough to be called sacred items… or sacred items.’

And that moment.

Jeong Woon-gyeong is an elder of the Yoho tribe.

The words of the woman who had the power of prophecy and was even called the Great Mother Goddess came to mind.

‘The prophecy that a witch who will bring the apocalypse will appear! Could it be that An Yu-min?’

The energy of the witch described in the prophecy and that of An Yu-min matched surprisingly well.

Jeong Woon-kyung is dressed as a man but is actually a woman.

And in my heart, I’m already in love with a man, so there’s no way I’m excited to see a woman.

I couldn’t take my eyes off even for a moment as I looked at An Yu-min, who had now assimilated into that unholy world tree.

The witch in the prophecy is said to be an evil and beautiful being who can bewitch everyone in the world.

‘no! If I stay blank like this, I too will be possessed by An Yu-min!’

More than anything, I had to protect that item.

What if that item falls into the hands of an unholy being like An Yu-min now?

I had a feeling that the apocalypse predicted by the elder might really come true.

Jeong Woon-kyung bit her lips tightly.

And I remembered one person strongly in my head.

Junwoo Lee.

I can’t reveal my inner feelings to anyone, though.

Jeong Woon-kyung, or rather, the man Jeong So-so fell in love with for the first time since she was born.

‘If I continue to be Ahn Yu-min’s… no, Ahn Yu-min’s puppet, I will never be able to meet Lee Jun-woo again.’

That pure love for Lee Jun-woo temporarily brought Jeong So-so’s mind back to clarity.

Jeong Soso hurriedly took out her tail.

Inside that curled tail, there is a sacred item that has been passed down to the demon royal family.

You will be able to escape from the current witchcraft, even if only for a moment.

I turned my head and looked at Song Si-ah and Ha Ye-eun.

These two people also have their own unholy energy that fills this place.

It seemed like he was trying to resist the power of chaos, but it didn’t seem easy.

‘The country has to do something…’

But at that very moment.

Another noise was felt deep underground.

“The Great One is about to descend to earth. And… that’s Letisane. Is it the legacy he left behind?”

It was the voice of a middle-aged man.

It wasn’t a familiar voice, though.

It was definitely the voice of a man I had heard somewhere.

‘Who is it? A voice I’ve definitely heard…’

And at that very moment.

Jeong So-so found out who the owner of the voice was.

“Father?!! Why, why are you here?”

Song Xia shouted.

Soon, Jeong So-so realized who Song Si-ah’s father was and was astonished.
