There is a familiar energy on the left side of the body.

On the right, there is an aura of utter unfamiliarity and instinctive rejection.

But that was only for a moment.

‘This is… Dojin’s energy.’

Just thinking about his energy makes the rejection disappear as if it had never happened.

Instead, my heart was filled with emotion.

It’s like he’s flowing through half of my body.

Feelings toward life become more distinct.

As long as my blood flows and my heart beats, I can be with him forever.

The aura of greed that responded to such desire completely heals her wounds.

It’s not like recovery.

This is a prayer.

A phenomenon created by a god or something similar to it to fulfill human desires.

Her senses, which had become more sensitive than ever, detected an obstacle.

A black spear shot by the Apostle of Arrogance.

Reach out and aim for it.

And I remember.

‘A clash of power and power… .’

The principle by which corruption occurs.

But that’s only when all the energy turns gray due to a chain of collisions.

The exact center of the chest.

The power is divided into left and right, and the empty core is filled with two powers.

Boom!

Two energies of polar opposites collide, shaking the body and at the same time becoming one.

He then shoots out a grayish energy with his palm.

Kwajik!

Crunch!

The energy that was simply ejected without any transformation or processing shattered the black window.

It didn’t end there.

The energy that had erased the window without a trace flew away and pierced Oman’s heart.

Chris Emir groans in pain as he holds a gruesome wound that could have killed him if he hadn’t twisted his body in an instant.

A faint smile appeared on her lips as she looked at this.

“Ahh.”

Emotions that I have never felt before swirl in my chest.

My whole body feels tingly from head to toe, and it feels refreshing as if I’ve been splashed with clear, cool water.

She pondered deeply what it was, and soon realized the true nature of her feelings.

‘So this is revenge.’

Almost killed Kim Do-jin.

They brutally murdered my colleagues.

Finally, towards the culprit who pierced my stomach.

Not your ordinary revenge, but revenge wrapped in thick murderous intent.

“That’s what it felt like.”

I didn’t know.

Is revenge, which everyone always told me to stay away from, so sweet?

At the same time, I also felt the need for boundaries.

Usually, sweet things may make you feel good, but they have a bad effect on your body.

The cheers of her colleagues can be heard in her ears as she locks away her emotions of revenge.

“Sophia! Are you okay?!”

“You are safe, my lady!”

How can they be so happy just because they survived a life-or-death battle?

They must be truly innocent people.

‘So I have to protect you.’

I’m not just talking about them.

There are many people in the world who are as innocent, naive, and righteous as them.

The saint, Sophia Saintes, vowed to protect them.

From anything that exploits them, takes from them, or threatens their safety.

“To do that, you have to disappear.”

Chris had a hard time understanding the current situation.

A saint who was certain of death suddenly came back to life.

And it also contains a great power whose source is unknown.

‘My heart was pierced in one go.’

One of the characteristics of arrogance that can only be satisfied by putting everything under one’s feet is ‘contempt for the weak’.

The power to render useless the attacks and defenses of beings of lower rank than oneself.

But the saint’s attack penetrated my special ability.

That means, her status, which was lower than his before she collapsed, rose rapidly after she was revived.

‘This is ridiculous.’

The rank mentioned here does not refer to the total amount of power or quality, but rather the level of existence itself.

Even if we are classified into the same category of human beings, aren’t we all the same?

The same goes for human nature.

Depending on what kind of life you have lived, what experiences you have had, what you have felt, and what you have achieved, the soul in your body either falls further to the bottom or rises higher into the sky.

And Chris’s status was special, as he lived a life that was incomparable to that of others.

It is also for this reason that the arrogance that comes only to those who have the ability to put everyone under their feet chose him.

He was confident.

There is no being in this world that can surpass one’s own level.

That’s why he says he is invincible.

That confidence was shattered.

Sophia Saintes.

And by Kim Do-jin.

The two people’s figures are captured in the eyes that are like a small typhoon that swirls without stopping for a moment.

‘I have to find out.’

Even if you ask the enemy what happened, there is no way he will answer.

So you have to find out for yourself.

What happened to them in that moment, and what elevated them to the level.

finally.

‘I don’t know about anything else, but I definitely know what that gray aura is…!’

Just seeing the aura lingering on her hand like a lingering scent sends shivers down my spine.

All I feel is a sense of destruction.

He dared to be confident.

That energy is the final key needed to seize the world.

By creating an energy like a black vortex, the body quickly recovers.

Because the body of the ruler who holds all things under his feet must always be maintained in the best condition.

After recovering moderately, he places his hands on the ground and pushes his energy into it.

Kukukukukuku…!

The turbulent square.

The floor turns black around the spot where his hand touched.

Kim Do-jin felt it.

As soon as the ground beneath my feet turned black, my steps became heavier.

No, it’s not just my body that’s gotten heavier.

Everything became heavy.

The weight of the body, and the flow of energy that had been so smooth just a moment ago.

Even the senses that were sensitively scanning the surroundings.

He finally declares, dyeing the radius of several hundred meters black.

“The sanctuary of arrogance.”

The majesty of the Absolute rested on the shoulders of the arrogant man who had entered my domain.

* * *

Reign.

To lead and rule over everyone.

That means standing above everyone else.

Well then, let me ask.

How to get above everyone else?

There are two representative methods.

To rise so high that no one can surpass you, or to drag someone else down.

The apostle of arrogance is the ruler.

I feel satisfied only when I put everyone under my feet.

The Sanctuary of Oman has abilities befitting its nature.

Raise your own status and lower your opponent’s status.

The resulting difference brings overwhelming despair to the opponent.

That’s it.

Because of that, Kim Do-jin was suffering a lot of hardship.

“… This isn’t easy.”

Because my body and energy slowed down, a huge gap developed between my body and consciousness.

Consciousness should have been able to avoid the impact of the attacks pouring down before my eyes, but my body, which had become slow, was still unable to dodge, so I had to raise my arms to block the attacks.

Crunch!

Kwajik!

Fragments of an eerie, piercing aura.

Sophia sees this and uses her divine power to restore the tattered arm.

“Are you okay?”

“Um… , it’s okay.”

It’s dangerous.

The moment you are attacked, the moment smells of death.

If it weren’t for Sophia’s divine power, I would have had to stand in front of the Jordan River many times already.

‘It was not all for nothing.’

There are also gains that come from being so tight-lipped.

‘My body is slowly getting used to it.’

It still seems a long way off from shaking off the influence of the sanctuary of Oman.

But at least we have succeeded in narrowing the gap between body and consciousness.

If things continue like this, we might be able to launch a meaningful counterattack on him.

His gaze turns to Sophia standing next to him.

“How about Sophia?”

“I’m okay too.”

Sophia answers cheerfully.

Kim Do-jin intuitively noticed.

“Don’t lie.”

“… Honestly, it’s not good.”

Sophia lets out a small sigh and confesses her feelings.

Unlike him, who had difficulty adjusting to life in the sanctuary of arrogance, she adapted with great ease.

No, to be exact, there was no need to adapt.

Because the characteristics that this area evokes do not manifest in her.

The reason why this is possible is most likely because of the gray aura and chaos created by the two opposing powers.

She also knew this and actively used the energy of chaos to intercept Chris, while also rescuing Kim Do-jin from danger several times.

“My body can’t withstand the power of the energy. If this continues…, my body will break.”

Thanks to Kim Do-jin’s thorough planning, there was no way she would fall.

But that doesn’t mean everything was resolved.

Chaos is the energy created by the collision of the energies of the Seven Deadly Sins and the Seven Pillars of Evil.

Conflicts inevitably have huge repercussions on the surroundings.

And of course, the surrounding area is her body.

Kim Do-jin asked.

“How many times are left?”

“If you try too hard, you can do it twice… .”

“Then let’s do it once.”

Crowding is prohibited.

Chaos is a force that has now revealed itself to the world for the first time.

Because we don’t know what variables will appear when the body is stressed.

He stepped forward, sword drawn, and spoke to her.

“Get ready. Just once, I’ll give you the perfect opportunity.”

“Yes.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Sophia gathered her energy in a calm state.

She trusted him.

‘Since Dojin said he would make it, the opportunity will definitely come.’

All she has to do in this perfectly created opportunity is to make sure that her opponent’s life is cut off.

She disobeyed his words not to push herself, and forced as much energy as she could into her core, crashing it together and transforming it into an energy of chaos.

“Ugh… !”

A pain that feels like it’s being torn apart in my chest.

A destructive energy that makes it feel like your body is falling apart every moment just by holding it.

When I opened my eyes with difficulty, a dazzling battle unfolded before my eyes.

Chris Emir freely manipulates black energy to attack and defend.

Kim Do-jin, who uses a single sword in his hand and a single word to cast magic, dazzles the eyes with all sorts of magic and then stabs them with his sword.

Surprisingly, the two of them were maintaining a level playing field without giving an inch of hesitation.

What makes it possible is Kim Do-jin’s experience.

‘Right now, my body can’t block or avoid all the attacks coming from all directions.’

So I changed my method.

Towards directing the attack in the direction you want.

The method was simple.

All I have to do is expose my weaknesses to my opponent.

And it was done very cleverly and covertly.

So that they don’t even realize that they have been deceived.

Kaang!

“Huh… … !”

Acting should not be forgotten either.

You have to give the impression that you are helpless against sharp attacks.

So Kim Do-jin went forward.

Half step, half and half step.

Just enough so that the other person doesn’t notice it easily.

A trick that will never work on an opponent who has a clear sense of distance.

But it worked for him.

Why is that?

‘The guy doesn’t have much combat experience.’

To be exact, he seemed to have a marked lack of experience fighting opponents similar to or stronger than himself.

That wasn’t well understood.

No matter how strong someone is, there are times when they were weak, but he acted as if I had never had such a moment, as if he had no experience.

‘Well, I guess it doesn’t matter.’

It wasn’t an issue of immediate importance.

Rather, it should be seen as a blessing.

If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t have had this opportunity.

Chris’s confident face is covered in cracks.

It was only then that I realized it.

The fact that the distance between oneself and the other person has become much narrower.

Kim Do-jin, who noticed this, immediately flew forward and closed the remaining distance in one breath.

Chris realized as he watched him reach his arms before his eyelids could even close.

‘You were hiding your strength…!’

It is certain that he was lying about the limits of his own power.

Otherwise the current speed cannot be explained.

Chris, embarrassed, immediately turned his energy in the opposite direction.

The energy that constantly swirls toward the center disperses in the opposite direction and pushes away the opponent.

One, Kim Do-jin was not pushed out.

Kwajik!

It was thanks to my foolishly planting one foot deep into the ground and forcibly fixing myself in place.

Chris felt frustrated.

Every time you take out a number, your opponent responds quickly.

An attitude as if he already knew what number he was going to pull out.

That was actually the case.

Kim Do-jin had guessed his actions.

To be exact, the opponent is just repeating one of the scenarios that came to my mind.

‘It’s now.’

When the opportunity finally came, he woke up the snake wrapped around his body.

“Exploration.”

Shaaaa-

Greed that releases the coiled body and flicks its long tongue.

The long body wraps around the two people.

Then, a message window appeared before Kim Do-jin’s eyes.

[Activates the Ruler’s Realm.]

Coincidentally, it’s the same.

The characteristic of the realm that Kim Do-jin awakened to is also ‘domination.’

Magical power seethes in a small area within the vast realm of others.

This causes the surrounding magic and power to evaporate simultaneously for a split second.

A realm of emptiness that unfolds in an instant.

It was just then.

A gray flash of light poured from Sophia’s hand, who had been waiting for an opportunity to come, and covered Chris’s body, which had stopped for a moment.

Wow!

A huge roar.

“Kkaaah-!”

A terrible scream echoed from within.
