Book 1 Chapter 818

Goo goo goo goo goo!

Countless legions of Tartarus descended upon the ground.

As Leo watched, narrowing his eyes.

Woong!

The warp gate reacted, and heroes from each officer academy began to gather.

"Senior Kar!"

Arga, who came from Azonia, approached Kar.

"What is this?"

Lunia also approached Run and asked.

"I think we have to fight the fragments of Erebus."

"Have they started their activities?"

"Yes. Three fragments."

At Run's answer, everyone's faces stiffened.

News of Erebus's resurrection spread quickly to those who arrived on the battlefield via the warp gate.

"Where are the fragments of Erebus?"

At that moment, Melina, known as the Dragon of Silence, appeared urgently before Lea and asked.

Besides the great army of Tartarus, nothing else was visible on the battlefield.

As Lea pondered how to answer the question.

"It went somewhere else."

It was Leo who answered instead.

"Though I will summon it back soon."

"Huh? What…?"

Melina looked at Leo with bewildered eyes.

Leo chuckled, and Melina asked Lea.

"Who is this person?"

"The Hero of the Beginning, Kyle… will that explain it?"

"What?"

Melina's eyes widened.

She knew about the reincarnation of the Great Heroes.

Amidst all this…

Jjeojeojeok-!

An ice mirror was completed right in front of Leo's nose.

And with it, someone's face popped out.

"Leo!"

"Lunia?"

"Huh? Who?"

Lea's surprised expression appeared as she saw Lunia's face emerge from the ice mirror.

As Lunia looked on with a puzzled expression, Leo said indifferently.

"It's reincarnated Lisinas."

"Gasp? Reincarnated?"

"Yes. By the way, you managed to complete this magic."

As Leo admired, Lunia said.

"It's a miraculous situation created by a confluence of various circumstances! Anyway, I can't keep it open for long! Hurry…"

"Lunia. The fragment of Erebus from this world has moved to our side."

"What? No wonder! That's why the sky turned that way!"

Lunia's face became serious.

"So… can you fly to the battlefield while maintaining this magic?"

"I'll have to try, but it seems possible."

"Then move us to that side."

"What are you planning to do?"

"What else."

Leo clenched and unclenched his fist.

"We have to bring it back to this world."

"Is that possible?"

"It will be possible. Give me a signal when you're ready."

"Okay!"

Lunia returned.

"Lea."

"Yes."

"Prepare for battle."

Leo gazed at the distant Tartarus.

"It will be a fierce battle."

"Understood. Let's go, Melina."

"Yes."

As Lea left, Leo, left alone, took a deep breath.

Then Run approached.

"Leo. Is it possible to forcibly bring Erebus back?"

"Probably."

As Leo nodded.

-Leo, I've arrived in the middle of the battlefield!

"Can you see me on the battlefield?"

-You? What do you mean… Wait, is that Kyle!

Lunia's surprised voice could be heard.

"It seems Lisinas brought him out well. Tell him to send Erebus towards the mirror."

-Ah, got it!

After speaking, Leo closed his eyes.

Pajijijik-

White sparks flew from Leo's body.

Run's eyes widened.

"Divine power?"

This was the power Leo obtained last time after defeating a fragment of Erebus.

It was a trump card obtained by purifying the existence of Erebus.

Leo, with his eyes closed, recalled.

The strongest he had ever been, both in his past and current life.

The moment before the final battle with Erebus.

Woong-

Light emanated from Leo's body, and his appearance began to change.

What was manifested through divine power was his past-life form.

But Leo wasn't the only one affected by this divine power.

"Leo, your appearance… Huh?!"

Run's expression became bewildered.

His voice had changed.

Not a girl's voice, but a woman's voice.

A little unfamiliar, but… his own familiar voice.

Run unconsciously touched his face.

These were not Run's facial features.

"…It's me?"

It was Luna's appearance.

"Gasp? Senior Kar?"

"Huh?"

Arion's eyes widened as he saw his own regained old appearance.

"What is this…?"

Arion looked around, touching his body with a surprised expression.

"Why did I become my past-life form…"

"Niaaaaaaaang!"

"Hieeeeeek?!"

"Hoo! Hoo! Arion-nim! Hoo! You're so cool! Hoo!"

"Scaryyyy!"

Arga, with his eyes rolled back, clung to Arion's leg.

"Gasp! Senior Balhar! Why did you suddenly get so old!"

Jjeong-!

"Aack!"

At Dryana's words, Balhar, no. Dweono, hit Dryana's head with his hammer.

"Look at the way you talk."

"No! You suddenly grew a long beard, so I said that! By the way… Ho-eek? Dweono-nim?!"

"Hmm… The change in power isn't significant… but the appearance has changed. Is it due to the influence of the divine power Kyle is emitting?"

Dweono stroked his beard and chuckled.

"It's convenient to have it long, after all."

"Lisina… Nas-nim?"

Melina also looked surprised at Lisinas's suddenly changed appearance.

Lisinas looked down at his own hands without a word.

At that moment.

Leo, no.

Kyle, crouched down and then jumped.

Hwak-!

He reached the air at incredible speed.

Along with it, the ice mirror in front of him also moved.

An immense force raged.

'How on earth did I control this power?'

Leo let out a hollow laugh.

The Hero of the Beginning, Kyle, the vessel containing the powers of the Hero and the Divine Blacksmith… the progenitor of the nebula, the King of Wisdom.

An unprecedented power, incomprehensible even to himself, overflowed.

-Leo! Here it comes!

Lunia's cry from beyond the mirror was heard.

Along with it, Leo raised his magic.

Woong-!

Silver magic raged.

The magic of the progenitor of the nebula.

"Stella Chain."

Leo, who manifested the magic of stars, unleashed his magic towards the mirror.

Chaeeejajajajajaejeng-!

Chains of magic made of starlight pierced the mirror and flew into the space beyond.

Kwak-!

Something was caught.

Feeling that, Kyle pulled with all his might.

Hwaaaak-!

A strong sense of resistance.

But…

'It's only half of Erebus!'

Kyle smirked.

'This power now is the power I had when I defeated you!'

A power that far surpassed common sense.

"Come back obediently! To where you belong!"

As Kyle's roar echoed, Erebus, in Kyle's likeness, was dragged out of the ice mirror.

"…Hero of the Beginning! Are you blocking me again!"

At Erebus's enraged shout, Kyle laughed.

"Of course. I am your only natural enemy."

Kyle's face turned cold.

Hwarureureuk-!

"It's unpleasant to see you in that form. Reveal your true form."

Dweono's flames burned Erebus.

Hwarureureureuk-!

Eujik! Eujik! Kwadudeuk!

Kyle's shell burned, and Erebus's form began to grow.

The sound of flesh being crushed and enlarged echoed chillingly.

Finally, a giant giant of flames, large enough to cover the entire sky, revealed itself.

This form was the true form of Erebus, the flame of disaster that yearned to burn the world.

-Kaiiill!

Erebus swung a giant arm at Kyle.

The space itself distorted.

Hwak-!

Kyle charged directly towards Erebus.

As he burrowed into its embrace, Kyle maximized his physical strength using Arion's aura.

Kwak!

Compared to Erebus's massive body, Kyle's small foot, which felt like dust, kicked Erebus's abdomen.

Kwagagagagagagang-!

Erebus's colossal body was instantly sent flying towards Tartarus.

Kwagagagang-!

Erebus's colossal body swept over its creations.

One-third of Tartarus's forces evaporated due to the collision.

But…

'It probably doesn't mean much. He has the power of creation.'

Kyle landed on the ground.

The divine power of a fragment of Erebus.

He couldn't defeat that half of Erebus while this divine power was being consumed.

As the power surpassed common sense, its consumption was also rapid.

Tadak-!

Kyle withdrew his divine power.

However, due to the aftereffects of using divine power, Kyle's appearance remained the same.

The same was true for the other Great Heroes.

"Kyle, battle preparations are complete."

In a fleeting moment.

A massive fortress was completed.

Heroes were taking their positions within it in an orderly fashion.

It was the phenomenal command ability of the King of Wisdom, Lisinas.

Besides him, Luna, Arion, and Dweono also came to Kyle's side.

Geuworeoreoreoreoreoreor-!

At that moment, Erebus's furious roar echoed.

Simultaneously, the night sky began to turn dark red.

At this moment.

The era of disaster had returned to this surrounding area.

The heroes shivered as they saw the sight.

As the heroes became terrified, despair descended, and their morale began to waver.

"Arion."

Lisinas called out Arion's name.

"Kuhereoreoreoreoreong!"

Arion's howl erupted.

The hero's cry pushed back Erebus's despair.

All eyes turned to the Great Heroes.

"That appearance…"

"Gasp? The Great Heroes?"

"It must be an illusion, right?"

"But someone just sent Erebus flying a moment ago! Only the Great Heroes and the Heroes of the Genesis can do something like that!"

"Then are you saying these are the real ones?!"

The heroes began to murmur.

As Lisinas was about to speak.

Kyle spoke first, taking a step ahead.

"Do not fear."

All eyes focused on Kyle.

The heroes held their breath.

Kyle, who was considered a mythical being, was now before their eyes.

Even in the desperate situation of Erebus's resurrection, all those present were filled with a strange excitement by the appearance of the Great Heroes… and the Hero of the Beginning.

At that moment.

"I… no."

Kyle paused.

Then, drawing his sword, he continued.

"Because we have come."
