A roar and shock that seemed to shake the heavens and the earth raged in succession.
However, Han Soo-young, Evangeline Lohengrin, and Alice Blessbuck quickly used the magic of protection, and above all, Yoo Ji-hyeok, who turned into a dragon, turned his back on them and acted as a shield, so he was able to avoid any damage.
However, his clones, including Milited, were not the ones who faced the storm head-on.
They had to pay the full price of confronting them head-on with irresistible violence and force.
[Ahhh!!!]
Transformed into a dragon, he spewed out a loud roar and shot a storm from his mouth one after another.
“… If we go on like this, will this place collapse first? If you do it wrong, the barrier will be broken.”
Evangeline, who had just let out a startled scream just before, muttered with a calm expression. She brushed off the cone-shaped hat, which was also her symbol, and placed it lightly on her blonde hair. It was her habit when she was embarrassed or embarrassed.
“More than that, treasures are alive and moving right before your eyes… my eyes are sprained Why the hell didn’t you recognize the treasure in front of you?”
Seeing her eyes wet with ecstasy, Han Soo-young let out an uncomfortable cough. Ye-eun Lee also pulled and released the empty bow for no reason.
[Creepy… .]
Almost five or six times, the dragon, no, Yoo Ji-hyeok, who blew out the storm, let out a serene yet satisfying breath, as if he was feeling a little relieved. Then a woman emerged from among his scales, and sat gently on top of his head. It was Minerva.
“My dear. It would be nice to go back to normal. This space cannot stand any more than that.”
She said, tapping and touching between his brows.
“At the same time, it will be difficult for you to endure more than this. If I make a mistake, it might be eroded like last time… .”
At those words, the dragon’s head shook slightly up and down.
He then immediately contracted and returned to his half-squat human form, as if waiting for Minerva to hug him from behind and cover him with his clothes. Unlike the clothes she usually wears, she was wearing very wide and generous clothes, so it was enough to cover his body.
“… what are you doing?”
Minerva answered his question, which seemed to be absurd, with a puzzled expression on his face.
“Aren’t you naked now? I know at least that it is not good to show nakedness to others because of human norms and customs.”
“You can cover it with Henir’s shadow. Am I wearing pants there?”
“Um, my girlfriend wouldn’t let me do that, would I? As you know, your shadow has long been a part of your real woman. I will probably follow the will of my mother before you.”
“… … .”
He frowned slightly, as if he had nothing to say.
Then, someone shouted ‘Fuhaa!’ He let out a rough breath and fell to his side.
It was Belluna, half-scorched and with small and large wounds here and there.
“Ugh, I thought I was going to die.”
She grunted and threw Yoo Ji-hyeok’s jacket on the ice and threw it at him.
“Can’t you just say a word? ‘Damage!’ or ‘Dangerous!’
“I thought you would be fine if it was Belluna-san. After all, even a storm is a wind.”
“It would be really cool if I squeezed in one squat… .”
Belluna muttered as she looked down at Yoo Ji-hyeok, who was wearing the jacket she threw away. Then he turned his head and looked at the place where Milited and his clones had been, as if they had been bombarded.
“Oh my, there are still living things in the midst of this.”
She mumbled in a slightly startled voice.
In fact, some of the clones left no trace, but in the case of some of the so-called ‘special’ clones, they were still moving without losing their shape.

Of course, even that hadn’t disappeared yet, and it was still wounded that wouldn’t be strange if it collapsed at any time.
“… I will do my best as a descendant.”
Lee Ye-eun, who walked next to Yoo Ji-hyuk, muttered like that.
Then he stretched out his hand as if waving his hand forward, snatched a branch of the World Tree that had not yet lost its shape, but was on the verge of collapsing, and dragged it in front of him.
It was the alter ego of the first world tree shaman who resembled her so much that it was believed that they were twins.
To Yeeun Lee, she was a person who could be called a distant ancestor.
And crushing the clone of her ancestor, she grabbed the clone with one hand and grabbed an arrow with the other and stabbed him deep in the neck.
“Whew… .”
Yeeun Lee sighed a little and looked down at Seonjo’s disfigured body, then closed her eyes for a moment to express condolences. In the meantime, Cas Lyle moved some homunculus to cut off the breath of all other living clones.
“Heh heh, heh heh.”
Then, almost exhausted, he sat down halfway. Alice Blesbuck grabbed him as he staggered. He even wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, saying that he had worked hard.
“I guess we just came?”
As Ivan muttered like that, Ye Seul Jin looked at him and turned her head with a dissatisfied attitude.
It was a positive sign.
“… … .”
“… … .”
“… … .”
Han Soo-young, Choi Hyun-woo, and Lee Yu-na stood blankly without saying anything.
All three of them had different views and different thoughts.
Among them, Lee Yu-na was looking at the same place as Yoo Ji-hyuk.
There was Milited, who had become a wreck.
‘… He said he needed me.’
With her mouth firmly closed, she looked at Yoo Ji-hyuk’s back.
‘this time. At least this time, I said the most important thing… .’
Her clenched fists were trembling slightly.
A sense of helplessness and shame about her own weakness surrounded her.
“You wretched bastard.”
And whether he knew it or not, Yoo Ji-hyeok looked down at Milited, whose body was half blown away, and said so. He looked at him with his head crawling on the ground with difficulty.
“Ah, there is still room for negotiations… It remains, I see… ?”
He glanced at Minerva, who was standing next to Yoo Ji-hyeok, once sharply, and then smiled hard.
“That, uh… Looking at it up close, I can feel the energy in your body. Minerva’s energy is the strongest… Sbangali, this bastard smells great too. It’s not surprising. Even though he has two seven evil bells in his body, he maintains his rationality and is still alive… huh? what.”
Milited muttered a moment as if it were ridiculous.
“Damn, was that asshole with you? But this is almost… Heh, this bastard is at least not good, even at times like this… .”
He shook his head as if he was genuinely pathetic.
Minerva nodded slightly, as if in agreement with his opinion.
“Yeah, anyway. There is no difference between three or four… ? If I’m right on that, I think you have a lot of questions for me. If it were me, I could answer all your questions.”
“… … .”
“Things related to the pendant, how to get back to your original world, why your sister was here, and about Ariman… .”
“Put away the nonsense.”
“What… ?”
Yoo Ji-hyuk lifted the spear and slammed it down to Milited’s body.
He said as if he didn’t want to hear even the brief resounding scream, poking through the window.
“It’s a waste of time. You’re just spitting it out to buy time for your body to acclimatise.”
“… … .”
Milited paused for a moment as if he had been stabbed in the corner.
It was because he noticed that there was no room for anything in Yoo Ji-hyuk’s cold gaze.
And beside him, Minerva had a satisfied expression on his face, like a parent who witnessed the growth of a young child right in front of his eyes.
“then… .”
Milited muttered blankly.
“then… .”
He groaned, and tears welled up from his eyes.
“Your and your friends’ lives should be put on the scale.”
With those words, the sound of something exploding followed, followed by the sound of someone screaming.
It was the sound of Jin’s scream.
“Suck!”
“Uh-huh, ah-ha… Hahak!”
Yoo Ji-hyuk quickly tore apart his body, but it was virtually impossible to shake off all the liquid from the beginning. Milited, who had lost most of his body by him, quickly retreated back, crying and laughing.
Aiming at him, Minerva slammed the ground while holding the Unwoldo.
Yoo Ji-hyeok licked his tongue and quickly turned his head to look back.
First of all, it was the idea of entrusting Milited to Minerva and doing first aid.
And there was an unexpected person lying there.
“I, wrapped around me… .”
Jin Jeong-eun said so and was spraying potions while stopping the wounds of the person in her arms.
In her arms was Ivan Hunt, who had lost an arm.
No one was bewildered.
It was because not all of them in this place were cluttered enough to be so embarrassed.
Even Jin-jeong, who was crying, was giving first aid with quick and accurate movements.
Evangeline Lohengrin, who followed, and Alice Blesbuck, clashed with Ivan, who had lost consciousness.
“It melted… ? No, this is in response to magic… !”
“You have to stop bleeding first, the wound won’t heal!”
As the two shouted, they each applied potions and began to memorize spells to heal Ivan.
And Belluna was standing blankly and just staring at it.
“… son?”
Belluna murmured in a low voice.
“… baby?”
Ivan was already unconscious because of the shock.
I don’t know if it was cut, ruptured, or melted, but blood and something unidentified were constantly flowing out of his flattened right arm.
“Ivan… ?”
For the first time, Belluna whispered her son’s name in a trembling voice.
There was nothing more important than that to her now.
– Foolish thing.
Then, like an echo, a hoarse and resounding voice resounded.
It was Milited’s voice.
His voice was faint, weak, and gloomy, but full of confidence.
― Did I try to take time to adjust? That’s right, that’s right. But first… As soon as I saw you, I was scattering my body into smoke. It was a mistake to create a containment space to prevent me from escaping.
―I didn’t have enough time to scatter my body enough to melt everyone. But, someone can kill one specific thing or inflict mortal wounds on weak-bodied ones.
― While fighting the clones, everyone was excited. Humans breathe more and vigorously when it is hard. It is said that a part of my body has already permeated deep within your body.
He burst out laughing once more, covered in tears.
– Of course, you’re the one covered in dragon’s blood, you’ll be fine. But, what about the rest who are simply humans? Yes?
“… !”
Afterwards, Han Soo-young also crouched down, clutching her left eye.
Gooey blood flowed from the corner of her left eye.
It wasn’t just her who was hurt.
Jin-jeong also suddenly covered the corners of her mouth, but black, dead blood flowed from between her fingers.
Cass Lyle, Lee Ye-eun, and Lee Yu-na, as well as the relatively strong Hyeon-woo Choi, Ye-seul Jin, and Do-hoon Ahn, have hardened their expressions.
Fortunately, with Ahn Do-hoon’s blessing and Yoo Ji-hyuk’s ring, he was able to resist to a certain extent, but everyone knew that it was only to buy time.
– Come on, open this space.
Milited said in a shrill voice, humming and vibrating.
– In this state, there is nothing you can do now. The only way is to get out of the confined space and neutralize it in the open. Now, everyone’s lives could be saved. So come on… !
“Minerva.”
Yoo Ji-hyuk ignored his words and quietly called out Minerva’s name.
Minerva, who was standing next to him with a sword, quietly turned and looked at him.
“Come back into the shadows. If you’re out… I can’t use any other abilities.”
“… Don’t do that.”
Minerva quietly disappeared into his shadow.
After confirming this, Yoo Ji-hyuk raised his right arm without saying a word.
Exactly the same number of branches of the World Tree were flowing from his right arm.
“Everyone, don’t resist.”
With those words, the branches of the World Tree spread out towards everyone at a frightening speed.
It stuck in everyone’s body and took root firmly.
Subsequently, he felt his magical energy flowing down the branches of the World Tree and assimilating with their own, but no one resisted or refused.
– What… ? for a moment… .
Milited muttered involuntarily as if it was ridiculous.
It was because it was an unbelievable sight for him to assimilate one’s own magical powers with another person in such an instant, and with such a large number of people.
There was no way he could have known that Yoo Ji-hyuk had the skill of synchronization.
In addition, the fact that the experiment has already been completed as to how far it can be used and how it can be applied.
Synchronization (unique/special)
[Effect][Active]
You can temporarily unite yourself with the target by pouring your mana and energy into the target you come in contact with.
“… … .”
Without stopping there, Yoo Ji-hyuk spread Henir’s shadow widely.
The body of the party that touched the shadow began to slowly sink into the shadow as if they had fallen into a swamp.
Swamp of Shadows.
It was one of the abilities of Henir’s shadow, and it was the ability to cast everything it touched, whether living or inanimate, into the shadow.
By using it, Yoo Ji-hyuk was trying to hide the entire party in his shadow, cut off from the outside world.
“Hey, wait! Is this really okay?”
“Wait, Jihyuk-ah!”
Ahn Do-hoon mumbled that with a trembling expression.
Han Soo-young called out his name in a hurry while bleeding from one eye.
Jin Ye-seul, Lee Ye-eun, and Lee Yu-na also had many expressions on their faces, but they were swallowed up by the shadows and the words they contained inside were also swallowed.
After confirming that everyone was swallowed up in the shadows, Yoo Ji-hyeok summoned the shadows that were slowly spreading widely.
It didn’t end there.
He picked up an unusually shaped potion bottle that he had pulled out while hiding everyone in the shadows. And as soon as he saw it, Milited cried out in a genuinely embarrassed voice without realizing it.
― The blood of the earth!? How the hell do you… !?
Yoo Ji-hyeok drank the potion right away whether he was surprised or not.
It was the same potion he received as a reward at the time of Choi Hyun-woo’s awakening.
Blood of the Earth (Legendary/Servant)
― This product cannot be transferred or used to another person.
― To be effective, take all doses.
― Cures all status ailments.
― He casts all curses.
― Recovers all wounds and completely restores stamina and magic.
It was a bit of a waste to use it now, but he did not hesitate.
I don’t know if Milited intentionally didn’t say it, but he was also a Seven Evil species.
And the poison of the Seven Evil species acts as a deadly poison that humans can’t control.
In order to safely recover those who had already been poisoned by Milited’s poison, they had to do this.
[Okay, Genga wants to make his own blood like an elixir and assimilate it… ?]
Sbangali mumbled that in a rare, sincere, admirable voice.
Yoo Ji-hyeok, who felt that the condition of the party, hidden in the shadows, was gradually improving, breathed a small sigh of relief and walked out into the middle of the space where no one was left.
“What else is left? What else are you going to bet on?”
— … … .
Milited was just silent.
There was a constant sound of dripping, dripping, dripping water.
At some point, Yoo Ji-hyuk realized that nine clones were surrounding him.
They were Milited’s children.
– Your life.
It was a firm voice.
Following his words, the clone died and the remaining liquid began to bubbling and boiling.
– I am an alchemist. And he was a wizard, and he was also an elementalist. In addition… He was also a necromancer.
Creating an clone and constantly summoning minions based on the traces left behind by the clone’s death.
That is why the power Milited had in the past was called the Immortal Army.
― No matter how powerful you are, as long as you are human, you will get tired someday. no matter how long it takes Because I’ve been stuck in that narrow space for hundreds of years!
– I will kill you.
– I will kill your comrades too.
―And let you and your companions serve as members of my army as well.
Milited, scattered in the mist, said so, and gave a single command to his minions, who had filled the vacant lot.
– Kill him.
At those words, tens, hundreds, maybe even thousands of undead and clones began to rush in, aiming for one Yoo Ji-hyeok.
In response, Yoo Ji-hyeok took a deep breath in order to use dragon blood instead of the king of thorns where there is a penalty.
And then.
Yoo Ji-hyuk, Milited, Minerva, and Svengalli.
Even Han Soo-young, the owner of the lens, unexpectedly happened.
I couldn’t put it in the shadows, so the crystal floating in the air started to glow a little.
And in the shadow of Yoo Ji-hyuk, Han Soo-young, who was watching the whole situation, suddenly touched the burning forehead. It was a place where another self in the past kissed him saying it was a blessing.
[The will left by an unknown person reveals that strong will in this place.]
[No undead can harm or show hostility to the specified target.]
[The target has been specified.]
[Currently designated targets are ‘Yoo Ji-hyeok’, ‘Han Soo-young’, and ‘Choi Hyun-woo’.]
The blessing of a necromancer, which will never happen again, embraced Yoo Ji-hyuk’s body.
