Chapter 356



Chee-jee-jee-jeek!


The arm pushed back Sungyoon, and his legs left behind two deep trails across the Moon's dusty surface .


Koo-oohng!


He used his gravity magic to increase his weight, and it finally allowed him to come to a stop .


‘Thankfully, I managed to withstand the attack even if it was barely . ’


Sungyoon put strength into his stinging hands as he thought about the blow . Thanks to killing Jinsoo and Hyunwoo, all his Gems had evolved to the highest rank, the Diamond rank . As a bonus, he had added Jinsoo's and Hyunwoo’s Gems to his arsenal .


A Connector was praised as the best even if one had a single Diamond rank Gem . Therefore, it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that Sungyoon was the strongest being to exist since the people of Planote had fallen .


“Haa-ahhhhht!”


Sungyoon swung his shield, and his shield was surrounded by blue light . That blue light was the ability of the Diamond rank Gem Hyunwoo used .


Puh-uhk!


Flinch!


Sungyoon deflected Grenoid’s hand, but the hand only moved by a short distance .


‘I put a lot of strength behind that . ’


Sungyoon clicked his tongue . However, he didn’t let his limited success stop him from carrying out his next move . A sword appeared in his hand, and the blue light surrounded the sword, imbuing it with more power .


Taht!


Dust flew into the air as he kicked off the ground . When he reached Grenoid’s palm, he stabbed with his sword .


Poo-oohk!


He felt great resistance, but he still stabbed the sword halfway in .


‘Good!’


It was an encouraging development . Sungyoon was happy that his attack worked against Grenoid . Even though it was akin to sticking a toothpick into Grenoid’s palm, at this point, Sungyoon was willing to take whatever he was given .


‘He isn’t some invincible monster!’


Hope surged within his heart .


‘Did the lightning affect him at all?’


When the blade had pierced the palm, Grenoid's hand had flinched a little . However, Sungyoon had no idea if the movement was caused by pain or lightning . Maybe, it was both .


Poohk! Poohk!


The other Connectors started wielding their weapons against Grenoid . Due to their blows, Grenoid’s flesh, and blue smoke leaked out of the wounds .


‘Is that his blood?’


As expected of a unique being, even his blood was special . After extracting his sword, Sungyoon took a big swing at the palm once again . He again left a long wound, but his joy at wounding Grenoid lasted only a moment . Sungyoon’s eyes twitched when he saw the wound disappear .


‘Regeneration!’


It wasn’t similar to what Hyunwoo had done . This regenerative ability was much superior . The wounds that the other Connectors made also disappeared in no time .


“Get out of the way!”


When he heard Grace’s voice, Sungyoon retreated without any hesitation . The other Connectors, who had stuck close to Grenoid like ants, also moved away .


Too-hwahhhhhk!


The Connectors in the rear sent their spells toward Grenoid all at once . In terms of the power and synergy of the spells, this was the perfect attack from all sides . The enormous force hit Grenoid .


Kwahhhhhhhng!


When the numerous spells landed on Grenoid, the most noticeable reaction was a large explosion .


“It worked against him!”


Grace’s delighted voice rang . It was to be expected . Numerous Connectors had attacked in a concerted manner, and the attack had blasted off half of Grenoid’s upper body and an arm .


“Wow~!”


“Great!”


Cheers erupted from all over the place . One Connector even held his fists in the air . However, Sungyoon was suspicious of this development .


‘It can’t be this easy, right?’


The descendants of Planote had been terrified of Grenoid . How could a being who had driven Planote into extinction be so weak?


Boom!


As if he couldn’t withstand the damage, Grenoid fell to his knees . This bolstered the confidence of the Connectors even more .


Sssssk!


At the next moment, Grenoid started regenerating its wounds . In a couple of seconds, his upper body became as good as new . The cheers subsided, but this didn’t mean the Connectors despaired . A large number of the Connectors present on this battlefield had fought over several dozen years in the labyrinths . They had gone through all kinds of hardships . If they could wound Grenoid, they would attack until they could kill it!


The Connectors specializing in close-combat attacked Grenoid once again, while the Connectors in the rear started preparing their spells .


However, Grenoid's counterattack was quite underwhelming . The power he had shown when attacking the traitors was nowhere to be seen .


‘Could it be? Grenoid is only this strong?’


He might have become weak after being sealed away for a very long time . Grenoid looked powerless as the Connectors attacked it . That was why hope started to sprout within Sungyoon’s heart . However, then . . .


Sungyoon and Grenoid met eyes .


『Planote?』


Grenoid mumbled to itself .


“Huh? Did he just say something to you, Mr . Sungyoon?”


Tim had been enjoying himself and swinging his ax with abandon . When he asked Sungyoon about it, Grenoid’s gaze headed toward Tim .


『Planote?』


“Uh? Was he talking to me?”


Before Sungyoon could answer Tim, Grenoid looked toward Emily and Grace .


Emily flinched as she carefully asked a question .


“Is it reacting to the special Gems we possess, Mr . Sungyoon?”


“I believe so . ”


There was no reason for Grenoid to single out Sungyon’s party otherwise .


“Is it a good reaction for us?”


“I have no idea . ”


Emily once again saw some hope in this situation, but Sungyoon didn’t expect much .


‘I hope things don’t get worse . ’


Sungyoon was still worried about the extraordinary reaction Grenoid had shown earlier .


『Planote’s royal family and the commanders under him confirmed . Cancel the final day of civilization . 』


“Huh? Really? Is it going to stop its rampage?”


“It called this day the final day of civilization because it couldn’t contact anyone from Planote . Seeing that Mr . Sungyoon possesses the Royal Gem, it must have stopped . It's to be expected as that Gem is the symbol of the royal family . ”


While he listened to the conversation between Tim and Grace, Sungyoon carefully monitored Grenoid .


Until now, Grenoid was acting in a beneficial manner for humanity . Sungyoon just hoped that his worries didn’t come true .


『Immediately protect the royal family from enemies . Enemies… Planote… Confirmed . . . 』


Grenoid’s sounded like a broken machine as he dragged out his words .


‘It's as I expected!’


“We shouldn't be hoping for a miracle! We have to defeat it right now! Something is wrong with him!”


Seeing Grenoid’s change, everyone had slowed their attack . Therefore, Sungyoon yelled toward his comrades . The Connectors once again realized something was off, so they resumed attacking Grenoid .


『Planote . Ally . Planote . Enemy . Ally? Enemy? Enemy! Enemy! Enemy! Enemyyyyyyyyyy!』


Kwahhhng!


“Koo-ahk!”


“What the hell!”


The Connectors quickly retreated . Grenoid went all out as he stomped on the ground . Each stomp created a quake, and the nearby region shook .


『Enemy! Ally! Cannot modify! Can’t! Can’t! Can’t!』


Grenoid’s eyes turned redder . His clear glass-like eyes were nowhere to be seen . They had turned a dark and cloudy red .


『Annihilate enemies! Annihilate Planote! Annihilateeeeeeeee!』


Woo-oohng! Woo-oohng!


The black characters covering Grenoid’s body let out a dark light .


Kwahhhhhng!


Grenoid slammed his arms on the ground; he looked like a beast that walked on all four feet . He then turned his head toward Sungyoon .


Zzuuuuuuhk!


The smooth patch of skin below his eyes split open, revealing a monstrous mouth . Inside it were three layers of teeth formed on top of each other . It was a terrifying sight .


He instantly sucked all the nearby magical energy; it was like watching a whale trying to swallow all its prey .


『Annihiliate the royal family!』


Kwahhhhhh!


A light appeared within his mouth . There were no other elements infused within it . It was pure magical energy, and it was the reason the attack was much more terrifying .


Sungyoon didn’t have the time to think . He moved on reflex . After kicking his comrades away from the path of the magic cannon, he unfurled his wings . Then, he accelerated to his maximum speed to escape the line of fire . As he did so, he took up two Connectors in danger .


Puh-uuuuuuhng!


The atmosphere became unstable, and magical energy went crazy . The light smashed through the surface making up the cavity of the crater, then it went past the horizon .


“Ah!”


Everyone was too shocked to speak, and someone even groaned . They were all speechless at the sight of the earth-shattering attack . Sungyoon clicked his tongue as he put down the two Connectors he had rescued .


‘I can see why Planote fell . ’


Sungyoon looked at the hole in the crater, then at Grenoid once again .


‘I don’t know how we are supposed to win against that . ’


Zzuh-uhk! Zzuh-uhk! Zzuh-uhk! Zzuh-uhk!


As if to prove Sungyoon’s thoughts right, Grenoid’s skin split open all over the body, and mouths started to appear everywhere . In the beginning, everyone had thought Grenoid looked grand and mysterious . But now, it only looked like an oversized monster .


The mouths sucked in all the nearby magical energy .


Sungyoon’s skin crawled since he knew what was coming . It was too obvious .


“Dodgeeeeeee!”


Russell yelled from the distance, and the Connectors desperately tried to gain distance from Grenoid .


‘It's coming . ’


Kwhahhhhhhhhhng!


How could the attack be described? Grenoid looked like a fountain spraying thick streams of water . The raging streams of light swept through the surroundings as they conducted an indiscriminate act of destruction . The ground turned upside down, and the mountains fell . The only thing unaffected was space, which silently swallowed the light .


Sungyoon looked at his surroundings after he barely dodged the light .


‘Thankfully, the three of them are unharmed . ’


His party members were fortunate, and they had dodged the destruction created by the light . However, a lot of Connectors had failed to escape .


There were no corpses left behind, but the number of Connectors had clearly decreased .


‘The attack didn’t even leave behind a corpse . ’


It was a shockingly powerful attack .


『Pla… Pla… Planote! Rooooooyal!』


Grenoid turned his head toward Sungyoon . It was like watching a cancerous growth . Different-sized lumps formed all around his body, then they fell toward the ground after budding off Grenoid’s body .


Sssssssssk!


The fallen pieces of flesh started to transform .


‘Now that I think about it, the monsters were born from Grenoid’s body . ’


It was like jumping out of the frying pan into the fire . At that moment, Sungyoon heard a transmission from the Mayor, who sounded desperate .


- M . . . Mr . Sungyoon! Monsters are crawling out of the labyrinths, and all of them are headed your way!


It was like adding insult to injury . Sungyoon knew something like this might happen, but when it happened for real, he felt a chill run up his body .


『Enemy! Enemy! Enemy! Enemy! Leader of the enemy! Annihilaaaaaaaaaaaaate!』


‘It has gone mad . ’


Sungyoon shook his head from side to side as he dodged the hand swung toward him .


Ddahk! Ddahk! Ddahk!


The teeth that had appeared all over Grenoid’s arm clacked against each other as the arm brushed by Sungyoon . Obviously, Grenoid wanted the sharp teeth to rip Sungyoon apart .


‘This is going to be tough . ’


Since Sungyoon had the Royal Gem, Grenoid was prioritizing him as his target . Grenoid’s attacks kept coming toward Sungyoon in waves .


‘No . This is preferable . ’


“Mayor . ”


- Yes, Mr . Sungyoon!


“I’ll lure Grenoid toward the tower . ”


Sungyoon preferred it because Grenoid would chase after him no matter what .


- Are you sure you’ll be ok?


“I’ll somehow survive . Please tell the others to back me up . However, they have to make sure not to attract the attention of Grenoid from me . ”


Unless Grenoid was hit with a very powerful attack, Sungyoon doubted he would chase anyone other than him .


- Understood .


The Mayor ended the call .


‘Well, let’s start a deadly game of tag . ’


Sungyoon hardened his heart . After dodging an attack, he flew toward the tower .
