Chapter 285

I noticed everyone’s gazes on me . They were all relying on me to act . It was a bit troubling that they couldn’t come to their own conclusions, but… I still voiced my thoughts .



“We can trust Ciara’s ability . The two kings must be in these two dungeons . You all know what kings are, right?”

“Yes, of course . ”

Though she missed her chance to spar with me, Sumire’s eyes were burning with eagerness . Last time, even though she clearly voiced her desire to fight, she couldn’t do so because of her lack of ability . As she was chosen this time as one of the approved members, her eagerness was understandable .

“Don’t push yourself too much, Sumire . Got it?”

“Yes, Shin-nim!”

That wasn’t the most trustworthy answer, but there wasn’t much I could do about it . I continued with a slight sense of unease .

“When we take care of these two kings, only one king will remain from the original five . It looks like there’s an even stronger one above them, but we’ll still be able to greatly undercut the monsters’ forces . Once we kill the five kings, monsters of the attribute they control will grow weaker, so we have to make sure to hunt them down . We can’t neglect Event Dungeons either . ”

“How are you going to decide on the members?”

Hwaya immediately asked the tough question . I looked around at Revival’s members . There were some that wanted to sit back . I couldn’t blame them . Those who were present when we fought the Lava King knew the monstrous power these kings possessed .

“Me, Hwaya, Daisy, Father, Ye-Eun, Sumire… and Ina . Is that okay?”

“Un! I’ll help Daddy! I don’t want Daddy to get hurt!”

Right, Ina was never hesitant to participate in fights . Perhaps, she didn’t understand what fear was . If possible, I wanted her to continue that way for all of her life .

I hugged Ina, who shot her hands up energetically . With an innocent laugh, she rubbed her face against mine . Someone looked at Ina enviously, but I ignored it . I felt like knowing who it was would give me more trouble than it was worth .

“The seven of us will go together . Against the kings, we can’t split our forces . We’ll attack the dungeons one by one . ”

“Yes!”

“Mm, why is it so hard to get acknowledged by my son…”

“Corpses, corpses, uhuhu . Uhuhuhu . ”

While everyone else seemed full of spirit to fight the kings, Daisy alone laughed somewhat perverted thinking about corpses . I smacked her forehead to snap her out of it, then looked back at everyone .

“There’s something I need to ask everyone else to do . To be honest, two kings appearing at once is too strange . I feel like there’s more to it than what’s on the surface . ”



I looked back at Ciara just in case . She shook her head .

“Sorry, Hero-nim . My ability isn’t complete yet . I can’t read any further into the future . ”

“No, it’s fine . The information you gave is already more than enough . Thanks, Ciara . ”

“Ah, Hero-nim…!”

Ah shit, I shouldn’t have said that . Ciara’s face reddened and she stepped closer to me . I frowned, thinking I dug my own grave, and pushed Ciara away before continuing .

“Mobilize all of the succubi and let them focus their attention on any changes to Earth . This includes areas currently conquered by monsters . In fact, if it’s necessary, just wipe them out completely . ”

“Really? I thought we were going to take our time reclaiming other regions . The Philippines is still under reconstruction, didn’t Guild Master say we had two years?”

Ilayda voiced her question . She wasn’t wrong, but things had changed . I told her exactly what Ciara told me .

“Sorry if it sounded too rushed, but the two years I talked about was the time we had until the Demon Lord invaded Earth . That’s how much time we thought we had, but it’s different now . There’s less than a year until the Demon Lord’s descent, and it might even be less than three months . We have to act fast . ”

“Is the reason their ability to ignore the dungeon’s power?”

I nodded solemnly .

“It’s not just Earth . All worlds related to the dungeon might be facing similar situations . There’s a great change on the horizon, one that will make the simultaneous appearance of two kings pale in comparison . Ilayda, we have to do what we can before things go out of control . You’re with us, right?”

“O-Of course! If it’s for you, I’ll do anything!”

At my serious tone, Ilayda nodded vehemently with a flushed face . While I tilted my head, thinking something was strange, Licorice approached me and whispered in my ear .

“Dear Husband, you’re not controlling your power right now . ”

“Ah . ”

Shoot, because I was nervous, I was unknowingly releasing my charm and magic power . Damn, I still lacked training . I tried to fix the situation, but my body wouldn’t listen to me . Ciara’s words seemed to have shocked me more than I thought . Thinking I should quickly leave this place, I took a deep breath and made a final announcement .

“I said everything I needed to . The six members coming with me should follow me . Everyone else should also immediately set out! Make sure to report on your situation thoroughly, and do not get hurt! Understood?”

“Yes!”



“You’re sounding more like a leader now . ”

“A truly fiery development!”

“No idle talks . ”

“Chet . ”

We immediately set out . Our first destination was France’s Bordeaux, as there still may be survivors . The seven of us hopped on Hwaya’s private plane .

As for everyone else, besides Leon who was training with Lin, they were working together in a single group .

“First, Deific Manifestation . Can everyone use it?”

“I can . ”


“Same . True name’s power is also ready . ”

“What about everyone else?”

Besides Daisy and me, only Hwaya, Ina, and Sumire possessed gods’ true names . Hwaya and Sumire nodded, while Ina tilted her head .

“I can use… one . ”

“You mean your god’s true name has several abilities, and you can only use one?”

“Un!”

Ina seemed happy that I knew exactly what she meant, as she smiled brightly . What an angel .

How can she get prettier by the day? Even if I search all of the numerous worlds, will I be able to find a worthy boyfriend for her? No, there was no way someone like that existed . It seemed I had to hold onto her for the rest of my life . Huu…

“Save it until it’s absolutely necessary, okay?”

“Un!”

“Good . ”

“We’re almost there . ”



If we had time, I would have liked to taste Bordeaux’s famous wines . Unfortunately, the gate was in Bordeaux’s sky and we weren’t in any position to leisurely sip on wine .

“Everyone’s in the party?”

“Yes . ”

“The dungeon’s power probably won’t work, so have your potions out . If you have Elixirs, make sure to have them ready . ”

Hopefully, we wouldn’t be in a situation where we needed to use Elixirs, but we had to be prepared against the kings . Even the weakest Hermit King made me nervous, but now we were about to face kings of the same level or even higher level as the Lava King .

“Beast King’s corpse, give me, yes?”

“Yeah, you can take it . ”

“Wedding gift? Kang Shin, I’m still too young . ”

“I think your brain is too young . ”

At that moment, the plane came to a stop . I didn’t know how it worked, but I could tell it had all the latest technology . The plane’s door opened, and even as I faced the violent wind, I was completely unfazed as I looked back at the party members .

“I’ll jump in . Since we’re in a party, everyone should be moved when I enter the dungeon . ”

“I want to go with Daddy . ”

Despite what I said, Ina didn’t want to let go of me . Thankful for how much she thought about me, I patted Ina gently .

“Sure, let’s go together . ”

I pecked her cheek and jumped out of the plane with her . Sharana, who I already had summoned, guided us to fall on the gate . As I fell into the black gate letting out ominous energy, I shut my eyes and successfully entered the dungeon .

However, Ina who was in my arms a moment ago was no longer with me .

“… What?”

I looked around flustered . I was undoubtedly in the jungle I saw in the video . Although I didn’t get any messages about having entered an Event Dungeon, I was sure that I was in one .

But there was no one else here . It wasn’t just Ina . None of the other party members were here . Not even Licorice or Lotte .

“What happened…?”

I felt a chill go down my back . In the next moment, a thought flashed through my mind . I was in an area that the dungeon couldn’t designate as an Event Dungeon . It was stupid to think a party formed through the dungeon’s power would function the same way .

But what about those guys in the video? So many people entered the gate together just fine, but how come I was the only one who ended up this way?

I tried to open my friend list, but it was futile . That meant I couldn’t send any messages . Neither the guild communication channel or the explorer communication channel opened .

[You’re finally here?]

At that moment, a thunderous voice rang out . I turned around . A golden-maned lion, far bigger than the one I saw in the video, was looking down at me . He seemed to have been waiting for my arrival .

[I finally meet you, Savior Hero . ]

“You…!?”

I broke out in a cold sweat . It was partly because I felt his heavy power, but it was mostly because of the sense of unease in this uncontrollable situation .

No, calm down . Even if I was alone, I should be able to beat him . I’ve overcome countless life-threatening situations . Even if I lost the dungeon’s power, I should still be fine!

[In conclusion, Hero-nim cannot use the eye’s power from now on . The Demon Lord will descend before a year passes . ]

At that moment, Ciara’s words popped up in my head . Did she foresee this situation? No, that was impossible . There was no way she would have kept quiet if she saw me in danger . Still, she still should have felt something . No, could it be a different kind of danger than this…!?

[Are you worrying about them, Hero?]

The lion talked . Them? His words made me space out . I knew far too well who “them” referred to .

Right, why was I worried about myself? I was the strongest person on Earth . Even in this situation, I was confident in being able to defeat the Beast King . But I was thinking in the wrong direction .

[It’s too late, so don’t worry, Hero . This time, all kings have come out . ]

All kings . In other words, the last king was also on Earth .

In that case, I wasn’t the one trapped here .

The one trapped was people of Earth, who lost me, their greatest strength .
