Chapter 85

#Episode 85

As the fierce battle continued, the outline of the Lord of the Void’s power began to take shape.

If death holds meaning for me as the end that adorns life, then this void is my antithesis—stripping away the meaning of both life and death.

This is another battle of endings, and that’s precisely why I cannot lose.

That void was denying human existence and all life, insulting them as fleeting things.

The bombardments created by the void began pouring down toward me.

An end that returns everything to void with just a graze aimed for my life.

[For all your boasting, you’re at a pathetic level, Monarch!]

Fatigue accumulated as I deflected the mercilessly pouring attacks.

Gradually, a sweet taste began to fill my mouth and my clothes were soaked with sweat.

Even so, I couldn’t give up.

Knowing the weight of the lives I carried in these hands and the fate of my companions on my shoulders, I held my breath and watched for an opportunity.

I waited for that single moment when the void would misjudge me and its arrogance would crystallize into a mistake.

A one-sided offense and defense continued for over ten hours.

Though I had Soul Concentration active, I was in tatters while the enemy showed no signs of fatigue.

Akasha looked at me with bored eyes and clicked her tongue.

[I thought you had some hidden trump card… This is getting tedious.]

The void’s eyes captured me.

Perhaps seeing me dying buried in the void without even a scream, enormous power began to condense.

The flow of power gathered in Akasha’s mouth and an irresistible authority’s end aimed at me.

[Become my fertilizer, lowly Monarch.]

Death executed with a lofty voice like passing a death sentence struck me.

As death approached, I didn’t flee backward but instead charged toward the Antagonist with all my might.

[Has he finally gone insane… What a moth-like sight.]

The massive wave of power flying head-on swallowed me whole.

The essence of void mutilated my body and wounded my soul.

Just as my existence was about to be completely devoured by the void and annihilated.

The pendant that had been sleeping in my chest began emitting light that filled the entire universe.

Light endlessly filling the dark space of the Monarch completely reconstructed my body and nullified all attacks.

Akasha, who had been continuing her fierce assault, widened her eyes for the first time.

My trump card that I had saved until the very end.

The single variable that the Antagonist couldn’t possibly know since I obtained it from the lower floors of the tower.

Immaculate Will activated and I succeeded in resisting the Antagonist’s killing blow.

Countless attacks came to nothing and I finally succeeded in reaching right under the Antagonist’s jaw.

[Wa… wait…!]

It was already too late.

The perfect timing for a counterattack that no one could avoid.

Death’s footsteps caught up to the Antagonist’s pathetic movements in one go.

“Now, it’s my turn.”

The death force I had been gathering throughout the battle finally roared and bit into Akasha.

Desperado, swung with full power, passed through the Antagonist’s jaw and penetrated her head.

Death force was directly injected into Akasha’s body and the void within was torn apart randomly.

Black tears began flowing from the Monarch’s eyes after taking a direct attack to the brain.

Unable to avoid such a fatal attack, Akasha couldn’t even attempt proper resistance and died instantly.

Complete cessation of life signs.

However, the Antagonist’s soul seemed to have returned to where her main body was and couldn’t be detected.

“Huff… huff…”

Only now did my held breath burst out all at once and my blurred vision recovered.

The void that had filled the surroundings and choked my throat disappeared, and a cluster of stars full of light illuminated reality.

My companions, who had been frantically attacking the void’s domain, ran toward me with bright smiles.

“Hyun-soo-!!”

“My lord!”

“Big brother!!!”

My companions running to embrace me took my breath away, but it felt like this swept away even the remaining void.

“You’re not hurt anywhere, right!?”

“I’m fine. If I died, you would have died too, so you can tell by looking, can’t you?”

“I can’t live like this! We could have fought together, why did you fight alone! You’re someone who’s finished if you die once!”

“Ahhh! Don’t hit me!”

Hunter Baek Do-hyeon struck my back several times.

It seemed like he put wind into his hits and the pain was considerable, but it didn’t feel too bad.

“Anyway, it’s fine as long as you came back alive, as long as you came back!”

At my outcry, my companions also let out sighs of relief and could finally smile.

“So, what happens now?”

“Hmm… Isn’t it over? This should mean we cleared all the remaining floors at once.”

“Then, now we go out…”

Before the words could even finish, the dimension was forcibly torn open, and the Tower Master’s voice could be heard.

[Come in, you damn bastard.]

Despite the seemingly irritated tone, the voice was quite gentle.

Though things had gotten complicated, since I had solved the problem anyway, he seemed relieved.

‘Should only I go in?’

When I turned around, my companions were moving around normally, but Demiurgos and the other original tower residents were frozen as if time had stopped.

[Eh, the other guys won’t remember anything even if they come here.]

‘Then there’s nothing I can do about it. Please send my companions to the lobby.’

[Will do.]

Before entering the door, I first finished explaining to my companions.

Only after receiving their understanding and encouragement to go ahead could I enter the Tower Master’s chamber.

* * *

Upon entering the Tower Master’s chamber, this time my senior was also grinning alongside him.

Lazl seemed annoyed, clicking his tongue and grumbling irritably.

“As expected of my junior, to think you could handle Akasha even if it was just a clone.”

“Of course, whose junior am I? I should be able to do at least this much.”

Lazl pressed his forehead at the two Lords of Souls giggling together.

The frivolous appearance I saw at first must have been an act.

“Did I know it would turn out like this!”

“You’re the one who imposed causality on that guy, so why are you blaming me?”

“That’s right, do you know how hard it was for me to clean up the Tower Master’s mess?”

Lazl clicked his tongue as if he wouldn’t deal with the two Monarchs’ shameless attitude.

“Fine, stop showing off and just take your reward, you damn bastard.”

“What is it? Is there something predetermined?”

Before that, the Tower Master summoned a roulette device first.

If the roulette used to determine the tower’s difficulty was red, this current roulette was a brilliant golden color.

Lazl, grinding his teeth, crossed his arms and said.

“At least 4 times! Got it!”

It seems my senior had already discussed things regarding the Lord of the Void incident.

The reward that was 3 times had increased to 4 times.

“If you’re being so considerate again, I won’t refuse.”

I gripped the roulette with my hand and pulled the lever with all my strength.

The numbers spun dizzily and finally settled on one.

Ding-a-ling-a-ling!!

Cheers and fanfare burst from the roulette as the number 10 times appeared.

Above it, the words ‘JACKPOT’ were displayed in huge letters.

“Te… Ten times! Ten times came up!!”

“What!? No, don’t lie!”

Lazl rushed over and pushed me aside, then checked the roulette’s monitor.

Naturally, the multiplier of 10.0x was proudly displayed there.

“Why are you acting like this? Did you think I would lie to the Tower Master?”

“No… but this is still too ridiculous!!”

Lazl pounded the ground in frustration, but that didn’t change anything.

“How long are you going to throw a tantrum? I’m busy here.”

“Really, he’s just like his senior, everything about him is so annoying…!”

Despite saying that, Lazl had already prepared the reward, pulling out a fruit from his pocket.

It was a fruit filled with a transparent, water-like liquid, and it must have been quite precious as even my senior was startled.

“Are you really going to give that?”

“Well, what else can I do? That’s the only 10x reward available.”

“…You’re more generous than I thought.”

“Why? What is that thing?”

At my question, my senior looked at the transparent fruit and said.

“Would you take out the dragon’s egg?”

“Here it is.”

Since I always carry it in a space created with all my strength, it’s always with me.

“It’s filled up quite a bit, but it’s still far from hatching.”

“That’s probably right, it’s not like I can force power into it.”

“With that, you should be able to hatch it now.”

“What? Really? Didn’t I have to put in only my own power?”

“Normally, yes. But that’s different.”

The Tower Master carefully handed me the fruit as if handling a precious treasure.

“Aeterna…?”

Just from the name, it looked like an expensive treasure, but I couldn’t grasp what I was supposed to do with it right now.

“Try putting the egg inside the fruit.”

Since it was a fruit that resembled a water droplet, I did as instructed and dipped the egg into the fruit.

After a moment, the egg trembled and the large fruit was absorbed in an instant.

The egg devoured the fruit so voraciously and quickly that it began to tremble, then cracked with a sharp sound.

“It’s hatching right away like this!?”

“You fed it a pure crystallization of power itself, so it’s only natural.”

Cracks continued to spread across the egg, and the first thing that popped out was a black hand.

A cute little hand emerged, and shortly after, the egg cracked open completely.

From within the cracked egg, obsidian-like eyes appeared.

A plump body emerged and finally the egg broke completely.

From inside, an adorable hatchling came out with gleaming eyes.

Since it was a child created from my energy, it seemed to know from birth who its master was.

Kyaaaa!

The hatchling flew over with its tiny wings, smiled as bright as the sun, and nestled into my arms.

After seeing only vicious monsters all this time, seeing such a cute creature made me feel like all my fatigue was melting away.

The Tower Master and Senior, who had quietly appeared after hiding, looked at the hatchling with curiosity and asked me.

“What are you thinking of naming this child?”

“The name of one’s existence is important, especially for a life that will be with a Monarch.”

“Hmm…”

The hatchling seemed to enjoy my touch, making purring sounds while rubbing against my cheek.

The small, soft thing kept making the corners of my mouth twitch.

“Luna… How about Luna?”

“The sound is nice. Does it have any special meaning?”

“No, not particularly, but it’s an easy name to remember.”

“An easy name to remember… That’s not bad.”

“Right?”

When I scratched under its chin, it made purring sounds like a cat, which would probably make the other companions clutch their hearts if they saw it.

The Tower Master looked at Luna with purely adoring eyes, but Senior had a slightly different gaze.

From what I heard, while there had been cases of contracting with fully grown dragons, there had never been a case of raising one from the beginning, so Luna seemed fascinating to him.

“Indeed… raising one wouldn’t have been bad either.”

“Why don’t you try raising one even now?”

“I appreciate the thought, but if I raised a dragon now, there would be chaos in the Divine Seat.”

I stood up from my seat while holding Luna in my arms.

I couldn’t keep my companions waiting too long.

Just as I was about to leave through the door I had entered.

“Take this as well.”

Senior stopped me and handed me a saddle from his subspace.

It was a remarkable saddle that could divide seats according to the number of people and even be made into room-like compartments.

“The kid is this small and you want me to ride it already?”

“After eating Aeterna, there’s no way it would be small…”

“Hm? What do you mean by that?”

“It seems like it’s staying in that tiny form because it wants to look cute for now.”

Senior looked at Luna and chuckled.

For some reason, Luna avoided his gaze and burrowed deeper into my arms.

“Well, gradually getting to know each other will be part of the fun. Now go on out.”

“Mm, I suppose so. Well then, thank you for all your hard work.”

“Get lost! Since the 10th floor clear came out, I’m closing the door now!”

“Ah, please give my regards to Ria and Nia!”

“I’ll keep those girls as tower administrators now, so don’t you worry about them!”

With Lazl’s dishonest farewell, I came out of the tower.

Outside, my companions were belatedly admiring the scenery of Jeju Island while chatting.
