Chapter 249
249: Davy Jones (5)
Crrrrrack.
“KYAAAAAAAA!!!”
“…!!!”
The shackles of being merely an avatar shattered. Ancient power buried deep within the consciousness of Ruin’s Dragon Solvent and the Plague Lord stirred awake. A ferocious, savage aura swept through the space, warping reality itself on either side of me. The very fabric of existence twisted and contorted.
The Plague Lord’s physical form on my left—once fragile and pitiful even as my avatar—transformed into something far more delicate, far more graceful. Her body became supple, distinctly feminine.
Simultaneously, a deep indigo poison flowed between her long strands of hair, spreading outward in all directions. Buildings crumbled to dust, the earth itself decayed and withered, and a pestilence so vile and toxic that it penetrated even the fabric of space itself scattered through the air.
「W-what is… this…?」
Davy Jones stared at the Plague Lord, utterly bewildered.
Davy Jones now possessed strength surpassing that of most S-rank Hunters. He was an existence that could never emerge from the C-rank. He had drawn upon ancient power at the cost of his life, yet the Plague Lord before him was a being beyond all comparison.
When Davy Jones sensed the presence of an entity—one that could only be obtained through transcendence—he naturally froze in place.
But the problem was not with the Plague Lord.
Kuoooooo▬▬▬▬▬!
Would it be like this upon encountering a creature born of pure killing intent? Or perhaps if one were to sculpt slaughter, destruction, and calamity into living form? That instinct awakened within Davy Jones, and he understood.
If the Plague Lord had only just obtained transcendence, then Ruin’s Dragon Solvent was a being who had made transcendence wholly their own.
The moment Ruin’s Dragon Solvent broke free from the shackles of being my avatar, their body grew ever larger, and when they finally manifested as a dragon in this place, Davy Jones had long since abandoned all thoughts of victory or defeat.
Only one thing remained.
「What… exactly are you… How can you possibly harbor such grotesque, such abominable things and remain… unscathed… what…?」
In that moment, Davy Jones trailed off and looked toward me. Behind me, he could see forms flickering past like fleeting shadows.
A knight-like figure bearing a dignity comparable to Ruin’s Dragon Solvent, a form intermingled with all manner of monsters, and a ■■ with long, pale white hair cradling a single book in their hands. The instant Davy Jones beheld that form, he forgot what he had even witnessed.
He could remember the form mixed with monsters and the knight-like figure, but beyond that—nothing. He could neither comprehend nor retain any memory of it.
As I spoke to him, I noticed Davy Jones had lost all awareness, and I swallowed hard, turning my gaze toward Ruin’s Dragon Solvent standing to my right.
Though it stood on two legs in a bipedal stance, its form was unmistakably that of a dragon—calamity itself incarnate: Ruin’s Dragon Solvent.
‘Ugh.’
Even knowing it was an ally, that it would never attack me, I felt as though I might lose control of my bladder at the mere sight of it.
And this was only because it had restrained its aura to protect me. Everything else that received the full force of Ruin’s Dragon Solvent’s presence was crumbling to powder.
I watched and thought to myself.
‘It’s like that purple alien snapped their fingers and everything just… vanished.’
The moment anything touched Calamity, it turned to ash, crumbled, and ceased to exist. Watching this, I swallowed hard and finally understood why Davy Jones had ended up in such a state.
As I trembled slightly, Ruin’s Dragon Solvent immediately sensed it and, as if to reassure me, flashed a smile, raising the corner of its mouth before giving me a thumbs up.
‘Ugh.’
That was far more terrifying. It was like watching a genuinely frightening-looking man grin wickedly and give a thumbs up while saying he’d make a baby cry. Naturally, I averted my gaze.
So this is how Davy Jones felt, I thought. Of course, what was happening to Davy Jones now was due to my original trait—neither Usurpation, nor Fusion—but even I found it difficult to comprehend.
Davy Jones was simply vanishing from the mere meeting of our eyes. The existence called Davy Jones was being inscribed into this world, disappearing into some unknowable place. Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say he was being recorded?
I muttered without understanding what was happening.
“This bastard… it’s basically suicide.”
The moment I spoke those words, I suddenly froze, sensing something amiss all this while.
Something holding a book emerged from behind me, drawing near and whispering in my ear.
「It is not yet time.」
But Dohyun could only hear that whisper and immediately forget it, and something that already knew this fact wore a somewhat sorrowful expression, while Dohyun felt as though a memory was on the tip of his tongue, yet he dismissed it without much thought and moved on.
Witnessing an existence that transcended cognition, Davy Jones dissolved while staring blankly at Dohyun and murmuring.
「Ah, so it was with you.」
With those words, Davy Jones’ body crumbled completely, and in that instant the territory shattered—the Ruin’s Dragon Solvent and Plague Lord, who had manifested through Dohyun’s avatars, reverted to strands of Dohyun’s hair, their original cores, scattering into the midair.
Simultaneously, a brilliant light blossomed before Dohyun’s eyes.
His brow furrowed against the dazzling radiance that stung his vision, yet strangely, his eyes didn’t ache—instead, his sight seemed to sharpen. When Dohyun unconsciously opened his eyes to face the light, he realized it wasn’t light at all, but characters.
[You have successfully subjugated 「Kraken, Individual Name-Davy Jones」.]
[You acquire ■■ from 「Kraken, Individual Name-Davy Jones」.]
[Analysis analyzes the block of ■■.]
The blackened portions marked as ■■ gradually peeled away, revealing themselves before looming large in Dohyun’s vision.
Fassssss.
『Record』
[Confirmed that ■■ is 『Record』.]
[Acquiring the 『Record』 of 「Kraken, Individual Name-Davy Jones」, you obtain the faint 『Transcendence』 and 『Dignity』 contained within the 『Narrative』 recorded of 「Kraken, Individual Name-Davy Jones」.]
[Analysis grows slightly further.]
‘What is this?’
Though Analysis had informed him, the characters were difficult to comprehend, yet Dohyun gradually came to understand.
The 『Narrative』 that Davy Jones had possessed—or more precisely, had lost—was now settling within Dohyun. The 『Dignities』 he had accumulated through his birth and growth were slowly gathering and flowing into Dohyun’s mindscape.
In that moment, Dohyun could perceive it.
This 『Narrative』 was being recorded in his mindscape, becoming a 『Dignity』 he could draw upon whenever he wished, and he could now faintly comprehend just how magnificent Analysis truly was.
‘It’s not merely that I can gain information and see the system… there’s something more….’
Just as Dohyun was about to grasp further understanding.
[That is knowledge not yet permitted to the user.]
A warm voice came from somewhere, halting Dohyun’s enlightenment, and he immediately sensed it—he had nearly reached forbidden knowledge and faced danger.
‘Thank you.’
As Dohyun expressed his gratitude, for some reason he glimpsed a phantom of something with snow-white hair smiling at him. When he closed his eyes briefly and opened them again, the phantom had vanished, and the Black Dome shattered, allowing him to return to reality.
Though much had transpired, Dohyun quickly regained his composure.
As the Black Dome disappeared and Dohyun emerged, the atmosphere was so somber—as though a funeral were underway—with Baeryujin bearing a strangely resolute expression, that anyone would have mistaken it for a wake.
Dohyun realized this was undoubtedly because of him, and without thinking, he murmured to lighten the mood.
“This bastard committed suicide?”
“??????” “??????” “??????” “??????”
“??????” “??????” “??????” “??????”
Though Dohyun had spoken to dispel the gloom, not a soul understood his words, let alone felt the atmosphere lift.
No one could fathom what he meant by suicide, and everyone was blinking in disbelief that Dohyun had returned alive. Only when they saw glimmering items slowly descending from the midair near Dohyun to the ground could they truly accept it.
He really did defeat Davy Jones! Dohyun was drawn into the territorialized area and achieved victory!!! Suicide? Well, regardless, they won.
Though everyone had received healing, pain lingered, and as the tension broke, they one by one felt their legs give way and collapsed to the ground.
“We… we won.”
“Wow… we actually won against that?”
“Phew, I honestly have no idea how this happened.”
“Tell me about it.”
“Hah.”
Everyone wore bewildered expressions, but among them, only Baeryujin sensed something behind Dohyun’s back, and goosebumps erupted across his entire body.
As if he had perceived something he shouldn’t have, Baeryujin quickly closed his eyes and steadied his mind.
He had nearly vanished like Davy Jones, but by rapidly composing his breathing and settling his thoughts, he managed to forget it quickly.
Regardless.
“This insane monster bastard.”
When Baeryujin spoke thus, the others nodded in agreement with his words and each added their own comment.
“A real monster….”
“How did he take down Davy Jones alone….”
“He even made Davy Jones commit suicide.”
“He must have trained him.”
“How does anyone even make someone commit suicide?”
“It’s certain that Suhyun is a monster.”
“Wait! There! If you say ‘even Davy Jones’, doesn’t that sound like he’s made someone commit suicide before!!! Who is it!!!”
As Dohyun said something while watching the muttering Appraisers Guild members, they all averted their eyes and pretended they hadn’t said anything.
Their expressions suggested that if they made eye contact, Dohyun might make them commit suicide too, so Dohyun ground his teeth before letting out a snort of laughter.
Shaking his head as if to say he was satisfied with this much amusement, two people approached Dohyun’s side.
Seeing Hanalin with reddened eyes and glistening tears, and Jiyuchan sniffling, Dohyun set aside the tearful Hanalin and spoke to Jiyuchan with obvious disgust.
“Ugh, you might as well cry—what’s with the snot?”
“Cough, achoo, I have chronic sinusitis.”
As Dohyun scolded him, Hanalin also snickered and wiped her tears, then Dohyun spoke.
“Huh? If you cry and then laugh….”
“If you say anything more, I’m reporting you for sexual harassment.”
“Sorry.”
Dohyun quickly apologized, and the Dohyun Party, gathered once more, burst into laughter.
The long, arduous subjugation of Davy Jones had come to an end.
And.
“Let’s see the rewards!!!”
