Of course, even if you fight the hells right now, you can’t take your soul.
Even while fighting the parent dragon, it has been absorbing the soul of the Ragna Dragon.
Besides, I just got the parent dragon’s soul, so I had to rest in a safe place to fully absorb both of them.
‘If I run into Luminus like this, I lose.’
Nete Dragon hurriedly flew away with its exhausted body.
Before being pursued by the Luminous Dragon, all souls would have to be absorbed.
He could even join the Blaine Dragon, so he was aiming for the souls of Hell.
‘You just need to be a little stronger. This world will be destroyed by me.’
***
Near the Han River in Paju.
A gate with blue light is created and an undead appears.
Following him, Death Knights and Liches were coming out.
Among the corpses he had collected so far, he had organized an escort unit with the strongest undead.
“Clean… you’re finally here.”
Weiss Rich Lenus, wrapped around the hem of an old robe, admires the scenery for a moment.
The warm sunlight was coming down, and there was a peaceful and quiet atmosphere.
Since many powerful people had gathered on this island, even if a demon appeared, it would not have caused chaos.
‘I am different from Oriax.’
Lenus proceeded slowly with his body floating in the air.
Then dozens of gates were created at the same time, and the undead started pouring out.
Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands.
About ten times more than Oriax’s undead corps were trying to cover the Han River.
‘No matter how strong you guys are, they won’t be able to withstand this number.’
As Lenus expanded his power on the Chinese side, he was able to obtain many corpses.
It included not only the Awakened, but also civilians, and even pretty decent monsters were resurrected as undead.
Besides, useful undead were hidden in advance, so they would just have to use it whenever needed.
‘If I could open the gate, I wouldn’t have been defeated.’
Lenus had even made a road between China and Korea and advanced a large number of undead.
He was stopped by humans twice, and from the third time onwards, the undead self-destructed, barely breaking through the defense line.
Despite this, he didn’t feel a lot of humiliation because he couldn’t even kill a single human.
‘You can find the power of Oriax later. If you kill them, one day they will come out.’
The lichs who followed Lenus began to disperse.
Lenus alone could not handle all of the hundreds of thousands of undead, so he was trying to help the command system.
Above all, the undead that Lenus had to deal with were quite powerful, so they had to save their power in advance.
‘There are many people with divine power. I’ll have to deal with them myself.’
Through the specters sent to Oriax, Lenus had roughly grasped what kind of humans there were.
It certainly belonged to a stronger side than the humans he had encountered in a large piece of land.
This battle could result in extreme losses, but just getting a high-level undead was enough to benefit.
‘It’s a fight I can’t help but win. Unless you have a holy relic…’
***
Dahee Shin slowly opened her eyes, remembering the day she received the revelation.
As expected, the orange sun came into view first with the golden sky.
Pieces of silver light were scattering little by little over the familiar white clouds.
– Dahee Shin, have you met my alter ego?
An elegant yet solemn voice was heard quietly.
Shin Da-hee recognized the identity of the voice and answered politely.
‘… Yes, I’ve met him.’
– The time of Advent is approaching. It’s a lot earlier than I thought.
Runne couldn’t watch everything, but she could instinctively know that Baek Seo-yeon was getting closer.
Baek Seo-yeon was growing at a fast pace.
If he reached an appropriate level, he would be able to fully accept his existence.
‘Is there anything I need to prepare?’
– No need to worry. You will follow the providence.
Although Shin Da-hee is very happy, she thinks of Baek Seo-yeon first.
I did not know what would happen to Baek Seo-yeon when Rune came.
If Baek Seo-yeon’s self and memory disappear, wouldn’t it be a little sad?
– That’s why I told you not to worry. My coming means that I will soon come to annihilation.
‘yes? What do you mean by that?’
– Do you remember what I told you?
‘He said that you must reach heaven without wings to become a true angel.’
– My existence is the wing. My alter ego can become a true angel only when I disappear.
Runne has existed as an archangel since the creation of this world.
Archduke Kraxis did the same, and this world was still maintained.
However, nothing lasted forever, and Kraxis, who was trapped in the darkness in the dark, was vanishing in vain.
This was also a phenomenon related to the existence of the world.
‘Can we purify the earth without the Archangel?’
– My alter ego will take over. Or maybe even that would be difficult.
‘Are there any problems?’
– This world is headed for destruction. Kraxis has vanished, and I am also slowly disappearing. That is why I myself have come down to give up all my strength.
Dahee Shin heard the truth belatedly, but she could not easily accept it.
Did you know that the long-awaited advent of the archangel would lead to the destruction of the world?
However, Runne also had a solution to it, so it must have been that she was going to come to Baek Seo-yeon.
‘How can I help the Archangel?’
– Neither you nor my alter ego can do anything right now. You will only know when the time of destruction comes.
‘Then should I stay still?’
– Nothing can be known until the hour of destruction comes. Is this also the meaning of Providence?
‘Then why did you give the revelation to that person?’
– … Seo Hyun-woo, president of the student council of Miterichi.
Runne certainly remembered the name.
She was a blind person who copied Shin Da-hee’s ability and received a revelation.
But if you think about it the other way around, it could have been a human being guided by his destiny by Providence.
– Do you believe in that person?
‘I have always believed in the student council president. Even if he wasn’t an apostle, I thought he would be following the will of the Archangel.’
– Indeed… That person is amazing. Blinding your eyes with the blessings I have bestowed on you. Whoops…
Pieces of silver light gathered together with a faint sound of laughter.
Then, a form is created, and Rune appears in person.
As soon as Shin Da-hee saw Rune, she had no choice but to think of Baek Seo-yeon.
‘Associate student council president…’
– Now you understand? So Baek Seo-yeon is my alter ego.
‘Then, was it all on purpose for the student council president to go together with the vice president?’
– It’s not. Perhaps this is what Providence intended.
‘I don’t understand. Isn’t providence just a rule?’
– … If you can feel Baek Seo-yeon’s will from that providence, would you believe it?
‘What is that…’
– The time is up. This is the last revelation I give you. Find the relic and purify those evil hordes. May Providence be with you on your way.
‘Archangel!’
Runne returns Dahee Shin to her original place and looks up at the sky.
The sun was slowly setting, and the golden sky was fading in color.
It must have meant that the day of his extinction was near.
– It seems you have already turned this world back once. Is that man your hope?

Inside the quasar team’s tactical vehicle.
Seo Hyun-woo was on his way to Paju with his teammates.
Due to the first-class monsters that appeared in a short period of time, the citizens were complaining of extreme anxiety.
However, there was nowhere to escape, and even if they emigrated to another country, the fact that monsters appeared did not change.
‘One next…’
Seo Hyun-woo was more concerned about the Nete Dragon than the now-appearing Vice Rich.
Vice Lich was able to neutralize more than 1/3 of the undead just by using the Holy Relic.
However, Nete Dragon was the only monster that deviated from its original content, and didn’t it kill Kang Jin-ha and Kang Yu-jin?
‘Dahee Shin hasn’t found the relic yet… News will come later.’
Of course, the situation was also assumed when the relic was not found.
At that time, I was thinking of calling the Blaine Dragon or driving Baek Seo-yeon and Shin Da-hee to drive all the magic.
As far as the divine powers are concerned, there was no Awoken who could follow them and him.
‘Why did Kang Jin-ha and Kang Yu-jin die? I don’t know why.’
By the time he faced the Nete Dragon, he would have surpassed the setinous hunter.
Kang Yu-jin would have had skills comparable to that of Setinos Hunter, and there was a high probability that all Setinos Hunters participated in the battle.
Even though there were Baek Seo-yeon, who inherited the power of the Archangel, and Ryu Seon-hwa, who deals with Leviathan, why couldn’t he defeat the Nete Dragon?
‘I think I’ve absorbed something other than the dragon’s soul…’
But I didn’t know what was absorbed.
The 3rd Undead had no soul, and the 4th Hell had already been subjugated.
At least, absorbing the souls of the Ragna Dragon and the Parent Dragon would have been the limit.
‘Is there something hidden from Vice Ritchie? For example, forming an alliance with Nete Dragon…’
It was almost impossible.
Because the undead and the dragon were not friendly to each other.
Rather, it seemed more plausible that the Four Great Hells and Nete Dragon would work together.
‘Does the Four Great Hells have a soul? If the Nete Dragon absorbs it…’
“Captain, did you have any plans?”
“Are you planning on?”
“You always had a plan, didn’t you?”
“… I do not know. This time, there are a lot of numbers, so I can’t do things like that.”
Seo Hyun-woo could not meet Kang Yu-jin’s expectations this time.
When dealing with the Knights of the Abyss, he used the breath to break the momentum by removing the elite troops first.
However, Vice Lich was hiding an elite unit, and he did not feel sorry for the undead, so he could not even try a psychological warfare.
“Then what are you going to do?”
“You have to hit it with your body. If not, you will have to summon the Spirit of Chaos.”
“What if not?”
“Then… ah, wait a minute.”
As soon as Seo Hyun-woo heard the vibration, he immediately put the Bluetooth earphone in his ear.
On the screen of the smartphone, the name Shin Da-hee was displayed along with a call button.
– Saint, what are you doing?
– I found a relic. What can you do with this?
– Why are you saying that all of a sudden?
– Are you going to do this all the time? I’m here to meet the Archangel, so tell me quickly. You don’t even know that this world is going to end, don’t you?
