Reshoo let out a sigh .

He already knew about it .  Good intentions wasn’t enough .  If Atein was behind it, there would inevitably be enemies that would oppose his plan .

Leticia spoke .

“Trust isn’t something that is built up so easily .  You should think hard on it .  What if Atein didn’t do this when he was awakened?  What if he hid his identity to work as a saint for couple hundred years?  What if he used his almost endless life span like that?”

“…… . ”

“My comrade told me this .  Atein doesn’t apologize for his mistakes .  He  doesn’t try to compensate for his mistake .  I mostly agree with that assessment . ”

Leticia knew why Atein didn’t act like this .

Atein didn’t consider it important to make relationships with the people of this era .

Since he was living on a different time frame as others, he didn’t feel the weight that came with developing relationships with others .

It didn’t matter if one was a man or a woman .  It didn’t matter which culture one was from .  There are universal experiences that everyone shares .  Even if it was a personal experience, one shared such memories with each other .  As time passed, everyone aged .  This was why an importance was placed on the relationships that tied one to others .

However, Atein was already beyond such concepts .

He only saw the difference in time between the humans and himself .  He felt much more detached from humans than the animals of this world .  This was why he didn’t feel the need to apologize and give compensation to the people he hurt .

He was working for ‘humanity’ .  This was why he had to make up for his mistake to ‘humanity’ .

From Atein’s perspective, humanity was the presence that was equal to himself .  The individuals making up humanity wasn’t on equal footing as him .  This was why he didn’t feel the need to sacrifice his life for those individuals .  He wouldn’t delay what he considered important for them .

“I cannot let someone that lives by such principles ascend to godhood in this world . ”

“Leticia…… . ”

It happened when Reshoo let out a sigh .

Leticia ran towards him .  His breathing had changed for a brief moment, and she wouldn’t let such an opportunity pass by .  She ambushed him . .

If it was anyone else, he would have been taken unawares .  However, Reshoo registered the attack in a single beat, and he calmly used his Pure Copper technique to counteract the ambush .  He started moving way later than Leticia, but he was able to comfortably block Leticia’s spear stab .  He counter her attack .

Too-hahk!

Leticia’s Dragon Soul was shaken .  She endured the attack without being flung away .  Guardian Shadows moved in from both sides of her .  

“It won’t work . ”

Reshoo was calm as ever .  His hands moved like the wind as he blocked all attacks sent towards him .  He lightly stomped on the ground .  The ground rang out as a wave of flame erupted to sweep his surrounding .

Hoo-ooooooooooooooo!

Leticia, who had been withstanding the flames, created a wave of cold energy .  Fierce winds erupted forth when the two powers clashed .

Leticia gritted her teeth as she amplified her cold energy .

In terms of abilities possessed by the Dragon Soul, she could never win against Reshoo .  However, she wasn’t alone .



“Shout!  Soldiers of Wind God!”

Kairen let out his cantrip as he swung his twin swords .  His Dragon Soul roared, and the winds were directed towards Reshoo .

“Ho-oh!”

It caught Reshoo’s eyes .  The power to control the wind and the power of the cold energy was combined to create a synergistic effect .  The fierce snowstorm froze all the precipitation in the air, and the ice shards flew towards Reshoo .

It was an attack to be reckoned with .  Since they were in a corridor, Reshoo couldn’t dodge the attack .  He decided to face it head on .  The red Dragon Soul let out a roar as it wrapped itself around Reshoo’s fist .  He punched towards the snowstorm .

Kwahhhhhhhh!

Flames erupted from his fist when he made contact with the snowstorm .

The snowstorm looked as if it was capable of freezing the whole world .  As if the snowstorm had never existed before, it became fuel for the flames .  The flame didn’t show any signs of slowing down as it melted the walls and it punched through the ceiling .

Reshoo wrapped his Dragon Soul around his body to endure the backlash of the attack .  The Guardian Shadows appeared from below before the heat from the explosion could dissipate .  They stabbed towards Reshoo .  The Guardian Shadows attacked him despite knowing they might be destroyed .

“Oh no!”

Even Reshoo felt his blood curdled at the surprise attack .  He was barely able to hit the ground running .  Guardian Shadows appeared out of both walls, and they sent their long distance attack towards Reshoo .

Puh-puh-puh-puhng      !

Reshoo bounced in the air in a dizzying manner as he blocked the attack .  At that moment, a streak of lightning fell from the hole in the ceiling .

Ggwah-gwahng!

It was a lightning attack that was on par in power with a lightning bolt .  Reshoo used his Dragon Soul to dodge the attack, but he became frozen in midair for a brief moment .

‘Is it Kayalia!’

Leticia suddenly appeared in front of Reshoo, who was gritting his teeth .

‘Clone?’

The surprised Reshoo tilted his head as he barely was able to dodge the spear .  The side blade of the spear cut his face as blood sprayed out from the wound .

He immediately kicked Leticia, but it felt as if he had kicked the empty air .

‘It isn’t Incarnation . ’

If it was a clone with substance, he would have felt some resistance .  However, he felt nothing .

‘Is it the same as the Guardian Shadows?’

ZZeeeeeeeng!

He was taken aback for a brief moment, and at that moment, something stabbed at his senses .  It was a mental attack .

Reshoo strengthened his mental defense as he repelled the mental attack .  He jumped into the air .  He planned on kicking off the wall to descend towards the ground .

However, Leticia appeared once again in front of him .

“What is she playing at?”

Reshoo used a lightning quick strike to destroy the Guardian Shadow that looked like Leticia .  However, numerous Leticia appeared around him in an instant .  They stabbed towards him with spears infused with cold energy .

“Koohk……!”



Reshoo couldn't’ freely fly in the air .  He didn’t have that ability .  He didn’t have any place to place his feet in the air .  His attacks were slowly starting to lose its power .

He could see burning lights appearing in various locations .  It meant powerful spells were being created at that moment .

‘They are pretty good!’

Reshoo didn’t hesitate as he made the decision .  The red Dragon Soul roared as flame exploded outwards towards his surroundings .

Hwahhhhhhk!

Guardian Shadows, who had taken on the shape of Leticia, were swept away .  Moreover, the spells that had been prepared by Kayalia were swept away too .

Reshoo used the rebound to fly into the air, and he stuck to the wall .  He finally found a surface that he could place his feet .

「Ahhhhhh……!」

Guardian Shadows appeared around him as they attacked him .

Reshoo didn’t bother blocking each attack .  Instead, he strengthened his Dragon Soul .  He created a flame that blocked all of their attacks .

Kwahhhhhng!

Leticia let out a wave of white cold energy towards him .  When he blocked it, Reshoo realized that Kairen had jumped high into the air .  Kairen descended from the air as if he was a hawk diving for a prey .

“March forward!  Storm Dragon’s Army!”


As he shouted out his cantrip, countless wind bullets shot towards Reshoo .  Reshoo used his Pure Copper technique to accelerate, and he broke apart all the wind bullets .  At that moment, Kairen followed up with an attack that contained all of his power .

“It is useless!”

However, Reshoo wasn’t shaken at all .  He had used the Pure Copper technique to stop the wind bullets, yet there was no opening for Kairen to attack .  Reshoo let out a counterattack .

He attack with perfect timing .  His fist would would have struck Kairen’s chest before Kairen’s swords could accelerate .

‘Uh?’

When his fist arrived at its target, something incomprehensible happened .

Reshoo’s eyes widened .  Until a moment ago, Kairen had been in front of him .  So why was he seeing the wall right now?

Kwahng!

He should have hit Kairen, yet Reshoo’s fist punched the wall .  As the wall crumbled away, Reshoo realized what had happened .

‘Dimensional Distortion!’

Kairen had waited for the exact moment when Reshoo would hit him .  Then he activated a magical trap .

Since Laura’s Vitan’s Chalice wasn’t here, Reshoo had his guard down in regards to the Dimensional Distortion technique .  He never expected Kayalia to be able to replicate the Dimensional Distortion in such an accurate manner .

Reshoo didn’t even have the time to think .  He threw his body forward .

Kwah-hahhhhhhht!

Leticia’s spear barely missed, but the cold energy around the spear exploded forth .  It hit Reshoo from the back .

“Ooh-ook !”

It was almost a miracle that he was able to avoid being skewered by the spear .  His back was frozen .  He used his Pure Copper technique to accelerate . He spun his body in a flash as he extended his hand .

Kwahk!

Leticia was following up with another spear stab .  He grabbed the spearhead with his hand .  Reshoo’s body slid backwards as a cloud of dust rose into the air .

“It is a terrifying attack, but…… . ”

He felt his blood curdle by the attack .  Reshoo sealed the power imbued within the spear .  When he tried to open his mouth, another Leticia appeared from behind him .

‘Another clone? How many times will you use the same trick?’

Reshoo was annoyed .  His Dragon Soul responded to his emotions .  It lashed out towards the clone .

However, something unexpected happened once again .

Pah-ahk!

Reshoo’s eyes widened .

Leticia’s clone had stabbed her spear into his back .

Up until now, he had easily destroyed the Guardian Shadows that looked like Leticia .  However, this clone used exquisite body technique to dodge the Dragon Soul’s attack, and she had stabbed him with her spear .  Moreover, the strength behind the strike was powerful .  It was enough to break through his Dragon Soul’s defense .

“…Incarnation?”

Reshoo was in disbelief as he looked at Leticia’s true form .

Leticia didn’t answer him .  When Reshoo was shaken by the attack, the spear unleashed its  wave of cold energy .

Pahhhhhl!

The pure white energy exploded .  Around half of his body was frozen .  He haltingly retreated .  Leticia kept attacking in a ferocious manner .

Kwahng!

Leticia and Reshoo were flung in opposite directions .

He was able to hit Leticia even in such a situation .  However, she wasn’t the only enemy he was facing .

‘Shit! You really taught them well, Azell!’

Reshoo blocked the barrage of spells sent by Kayalia .  Kairen had jumped in as soon as the spells ended, and Reshoo was barely able to defend against Kairen’s dual swords .  Reshoo was impressed .

Leticia was using her secret card .  It was the Incarnation technique learned from Azell .  Even if she had the aptitude for the clone technique, it was impressive that she had learned Incarnation in such a short amount of time!

Peeht!

Blood erupted from his shoulder .

Pah-aht!

The blade, which he couldn’t dodge, made a shallow cut on his chest .

“Ha-ah!”

Kairen’s kick impacted on Reshoo’s defense .  Kairen used his Dragon Soul to concentrate the power of the wind around his leg .  At the same time, he detonated the power concentrated around his leg .  A terrifying amount of force jammed Reshoo into the wall .

Kwahhhhng!

Reshoo was sent flying into the next room .  He was barely able to kick the ground to lessen the damage .  However, it didn’t change the fact that he had taken a significant amount of injury .   As soon as he regained his feet, a beam of light and lightning flew towards him .

Kwa-kwa-kwahng!  Kwahhhhhhhng!

After Kayalia’s spells struck Reshoo, Kairen immediately used his long distance attack .

Reshoo pushed through the explosion as he charged towards Kairen .

‘What the hell?!’

Kairen was shocked .  Reshoo had taken significant damage .  He had looked off balance, yet he had pushed through the barrage of spells!

Kairen was taken completely unawares .  Reshoo was powering through the spells, so he was slightly slowed down .  If not, Kairen wouldn’t have been able to react to the attack .

Kwah-chang!

Kairen was barely able to parry the attack as he retreated backwards .  Reshoo immediately tried to chase after him, but he stopped .  He swayed on his feet .

“Fantastic!”

He was gravely injured, yet Reshoo wasn’t mad .  He laughed instead .

“I haven’t been beaten this bad in 200 years . ”

“That’s an amazing record .  

Leticia looked tense as she glared at him .

He had taken significant damage, yet the Dragon Demon energy emanating from him wasn’t getting weaker .  In fact, it was getting much stronger .

‘We’ve used all the aces up our sleeves…… . ’

They had used the Dimensional Distortion as a trap .  Leticia even used Incarnation, which was very incomplete compared to Azell’s Incarnation technique .  It was mainly used to surprise Reshoo .  

What else were they supposed to do to contend with Reshoo?

Reshoo tried to gather his breath as he spoke .

“Hoo-ooh .  Let me apologize .  It seems I’ve underestimated you guys . ”

“Are you perhaps going to say you’ll show your true skills now?  Are you going to say something so stale?”

“No .  I’m just going to change my mindset . ”

Leticia was puzzled as she faced the oppressive pressure coming from Reshoo .

‘Even now he isn’t showing any killing intent towards us .  What is he thinking?’

He looked determined now .  There wasn’t any looseness in Reshoo’s eyes any more .

However, she couldn’t feel any killing intent from him .  This fact was too weird .

‘What are you planning, Reshoo?’

It happened at that moment .

Koo-roo-roo-roong……!

The Dragon Demon castle shook as if it was about to collapse .
