Chapter 298
298: At Last, We Go! To the Depths of Bultegore! (1)
Typically, each organization is composed of members from multiple celestial dimensions.
This made sense, as organizations comprised of a single race held considerably less influence within the Black Gate.
Moreover, larger organizations boasted diverse races among their ranks, making it difficult to designate any particular dimension as their primary domain. Consequently, conducting operations exclusively within the Black Gate was the standard practice.
Yet there existed a handful of organizations that defied this convention.
These were not insignificant entities lacking influence; rather, they were formidable enough to operate differently, and the Divine Assassin Squad was counted among them.
Unlike other organizations, the Divine Assassin Squad was one of the rare few with an actual headquarters, and the reason was straightforward.
When one invaded a celestial dimension and conquered it, a private dimension could be created for exclusive use by members of that organization.
In other words, the Divine Assassin Squad was the organization responsible for driving an entire planet to ruin—all accomplished during the era when Sashin still lived.
It was the Divine Assassin Squad’s golden age, the era all its members yearned to reclaim.
‘….’
The current Leader of Shinsaldae lifted a photograph, his expression tinged with regret.
He was one of the retainers who had served Sashin in life, and though advanced in years, he remained among those who wielded Transcendence in active service. Yet he was acutely aware that he lacked the capacity to restore the Divine Assassin Squad to the greatness it had known when Sashin existed.
His abilities were already strained merely maintaining the Divine Assassin Squad as it currently stood.
But if a new Sashin were to emerge, everything would change.
This was why he had devoted himself to seeking out countless descendants of Sashin, though he had recently suffered a devastating loss of one such heir.
Yet the Leader of Shinsaldae smiled broadly.
A devastating loss?
No.
Only after the heir of Sashin perished did the Leader finally comprehend the truth.
‘Sashin has finally awakened.’
As a Transcendent himself, the Leader of Shinsaldae understood this well.
In this world, there existed Traits, and within the Trait known as Sashin slumbered the one he had served.
And.
“I shall return. When I appear in this world once more, that orb will shine with light.”
He had awaited this prophecy his entire existence, and now the Leader of Shinsaldae gazed upon the faintly luminous orb he had received from Sashin long ago.
Proof that his liege, who had not been granted a full lifespan as a Changeling, had returned anew.
Being a Changeling himself, he understood the weight of that endless waiting. The Leader of Shinsaldae smiled with satisfaction and murmured.
“Did you consume the heir of Sashin and return?”
He could not determine that much, but one thing was certain.
His liege had somehow allied with Hezway in the Draxion Dimension.
The intention remained unclear, but his great master, Sashin, surely possessed a grand design for all of this.
The Leader proceeded with gathering intelligence, and as a result.
“B-Rank Spirit Tribe members are mobilizing.”
“The pointy-eared ones sent them, it seems.”
“Yes, that appears to be the case.”
“Kill them.”
“Your will be done!”
With that cry, his subordinate vanished, and the Leader watched the situation unfold, murmuring to himself.
“Master, I shall find you soon.”
The day to meet his great master was drawing near.
The leader believed this without doubt, curious about what his master might be doing at this very moment. And that Sashin was currently meditating peacefully within Dohyun’s Inner World.
Of course.
Flinch!
When the Ruin’s Dragon Solvent passed by, he trembled and glanced nervously—a fact he was unaware of. Or rather, one he must never become aware of.
* * *
By the fourth day since Dohyun taught them the Heart Method, perhaps because they were all individuals of exceptional talent, they were able to master both the Heart Method and the Mana Cultivation Technique.
Of course, while learning the Heart Method and Mana Cultivation Technique, they had not neglected their training, and each time Dohyun created the stat-boosting barrier that Lecia had designed for them.
The effect was so remarkable that even Hasty, despite sparring with Dohyun to the point of near-death, couldn’t help but grin widely—the results were truly extraordinary.
When the Overseer Party entered their fourth day, Dohyun examined everyone’s stats and shouted.
“Let’s head to the Deep Layer!”
With those words, Dohyun examined the stats visible only to his eyes.
『Dohyun』
『Stats』
▶「Strength: 102▶117」
▶「Agility: 102▶119」
▶「Stamina: 102▶117」
▶「Mana: 120▶125」
▶「Inner Power: 120▶125」
『Hanalin』

▶「Strength: 77▶83」
▶「Agility: 79▶86」
▶「Stamina: 83▶90」
▶「Mana: 106▶120」

『Stats』
▶「Strength: 105▶117」
▶「Agility: 99▶109」
▶「Stamina: 99▶109」
▶「Inner Power: 91▶99」
『Hezeway Paraksarl』
『Stats』
▶「Strength: 93▶106」
▶「Agility: 92▶104」
▶「Stamina: 91▶104」
▶「Inner Power: 105▶117」
『Vera Argent』
『Stats』
▶「Strength: 88▶92」
▶「Agility: 90▶97」
▶「Stamina: 92▶99」
▶「Mana: 102▶115」
I could see the stats of all members of the Overseer Party from Dohyun to Vera.
Hanalin’s stat growth was particularly remarkable—she had become the only party member to reach 120, with Jiyuchan and Hezway following closely behind.
And Vera was, well, Vera.
Since Vera hadn’t been training, her mana had grown considerably, but her physical abilities lagged behind the other party members.
Of course, compared to Hanalin, who was a pure mage, her stats were respectable enough, and as a support mage, there was no need for her to excel to that degree, so I let it pass.
In any case, with stats at this level, we could now safely venture into the Deep Layers of Bultegore, and as I said so, Hasty, who had been knocked down by me moments before, spoke up with excitement.
“That’s right!”
“It’s time to go!”
“You all should head out!”
Hasty, who had sparred not only with me but also with Hanalin, Jiyuchan, and Hezway, and whose body felt like it was falling apart, said this, and everyone agreed.
Sparring with Hasty, who used to only lose before, had now become nearly evenly matched, so Hasty himself had taken to calling the Overseer Party a group of monsters every time.
Hezway continued from my words.
“It does seem like it’s time to head toward the Deep Layers and make our way to the Central Zone.”
“I think so too.”
Vera also added her voice to Hezway’s sentiment.
We couldn’t stay in Atlas forever, and there was nothing left to do here, so this decision made sense.
We couldn’t just spar day and night in this place, and everyone thought I had held up quite well.
“We can do raids too, and stronger monsters would be more fun~”
“That’s true.”
“We definitely need a change of pace.”
“I thought it was about time, but I didn’t expect it to be today.”
“Our growth rate is honestly unreasonable….”
Normally, before entering the interior of Bultegore, one had to endure quite tedious time. Even the Superior Races couldn’t escape this, but thanks to Lecia’s barrier, we had reduced that time by at least a factor of twenty, so everyone was satisfied.
Especially.
“With the Mana Cultivation Method, handling mana has become much easier than before.”
“Exactly!”
“Learning the heart method made us so much stronger.”
“Physical enhancement efficiency has improved compared to before.”
Hanalin and Vera spoke happily, while Jiyuchan and Hezway were equally satisfied, feeling the excellence of inner power.
Since everyone agreed.
“Then let’s go right now!”
Seeing me say we should leave immediately, everyone chuckled helplessly and nodded.
Since we wouldn’t be returning here, we should have packed our belongings, but we didn’t.
After I awakened the Pocket Dimension magic, we had been organizing our belongings there regularly, so there was nothing to pack.
Moreover, even if we left things behind, Hezway’s retainers said they would take care of it and deliver it to us, so there was nothing to worry about.
Since we could depart immediately, everyone agreed to leave at once, and Hasty, who had realized what freedom meant, saw off the Overseer Party.
“Thank you!”
“I’ve grown a lot because of you too!”
“Take care of yourself even in the Deep Layer!”
Just as they were about to share this beautiful farewell.
Dohyun looked at Hasty as if asking what he was doing.
“Huh? You’re not coming?”
“Eh?”
“U-us?”
“We’re going too?”
Watching Hasty’s eyes roll around as he repeated the question, Dohyun’s expression grew stern.
After all the sparring matches they’d had together, there was a bond between them—so who would he spar with in the Deep Layer?
As Dohyun was thinking this and about to ask Hasty to come along.
In just four days, Hasty had reached a level where he could read Dohyun’s thoughts to some degree, so he quickly spun all three of his heads.
And then a conclusion emerged.
“Oh! I almost forgot!”
“W-we have to return to our own dimension now.”
“Our family is waiting for us.”
Even after invoking family, when Dohyun’s eyes showed no sign of softening, Hasty cried out desperately.
“T-there are Asura stronger than us in the Deep Layer!”
“Y-yes, that’s right!”
“Hezway, you know this Asura too.”
“Me? Surely not?”
Since they had already exchanged names with Hezway in the meantime, when Hasty spoke, she already seemed to guess who it was and frowned, and when Dohyun looked at her as if asking if it was true, she nodded.
And she spoke.
“Our Asura Clan’s current greatest prospect!”
“Of the same golden generation as Hezway and Vera!”
“Rudra Bayu Akasha!!!”
The moment Vera heard the name Rudra, she nodded as if she knew.
“Ah! Rudra! I know of him too. I heard he was B-Rank, but it seems he was in the Depths of Bultegore?”
When Vera spoke as if she also knew, it seemed the information wasn’t wrong.
And Hezway, hearing that name, murmured to herself.
“Hmm, he’s an unsettling fellow though.”
Speaking thus, Hezway looked at Dohyun, then nodded and wore an expression of indifference. Dohyun then looked at Hezway with a peculiar gaze, but Hezway ultimately avoided his eyes.
A golden generation Asura in the Deep Layer of Bultegore, no less.
I’d had quite an entertaining match with Hasty, so I wondered what this Rudra—one of the greatest prospects—would be like.
I smiled with considerable anticipation.
“Alright, Hasty, you’re free to go back.”
At this declaration of freedom, Hasty’s six eyes glistened with tears, and he clasped his six hands together, overwhelmed with emotion.
I looked at my party members, wondering if there was really reason to be that happy.
They all looked at Hasty with a hint of envy.
“What are you all doing???”
Dohyun narrowed his eyes as he asked, and everyone played dumb, pretending they hadn’t heard.
Then, as if finding the situation quite amusing, they all burst into laughter.
At this point, teasing Dohyun like this had become something of a meme within the party.
Dohyun himself chuckled at the atmosphere, then spoke once more.
“Shall we depart then?”
It was truly time to leave.
And as Hasty watched the Overseer Party’s departing silhouettes, he murmured to himself.
“Rudra.”
“I’m sorry.”
“But I had to survive.”
He felt as though he’d done something terrible to his friend, but Hasty was Asura.
His conscience had never been particularly large to begin with.
“Kahahaha!”
“Freedom!”
“Kyahoo!”
