395.

 

-Who are you?

 

Those were the first words Elsi spoke after being summoned through the summoning circle.

 

The young darkness spirit looked extremely bewildered.

 

Naturally, she had no choice but to feel that way.

 

Elsi, who had been born not too long ago, had never made a single pact before.

 

In such a situation, being forcibly summoned by a pact she had never made was shocking beyond belief.

 

The same was true for Silorod, the successor to the Fairy King.

 

-H-How did you kidnap me?

 

Silorod looked extremely frightened.

 

5000 years in the future.

 

Fairy King Silorod, renowned as the strongest beast king who experienced everything from the Age of Calamity to the Age of Cataclysm as the sole remaining beast king.

 

But to Leo, this version of Silorod was much more familiar than that dignified figure.

 

-I never made a contract with someone like you!

 

-M-Me neither! Send me back!

 

Leo reached out to Elsi and Silorod, who were frantically flying around him like moths.

 

Grab-!

 

“I need your power.”

 

Leo said quietly.

 

“To reclaim the starlight of the night sky.”

 

-Stars?

 

“To cultivate a forest that shines blue once again.”

 

-Forest?

 

Leo told stories that would entice the young spirit and fairy.

 

“To do that, we need to fight that thing right now.”

 

-That thing?

 

-What on earth…

 

Kuooooooooooo!

 

Jormungandr roared toward Leo, who had soared high into the sky.

 

Woong-!

 

As if responding to that roar, massive dark magic formed around Leo.

 

‘Curse of Binding.’

 

Leo’s eyes gleamed.

 

Having analyzed the curse pattern, Leo quickly wove a dispelling technique.

 

Crack-!

 

Albus showed a surprised expression watching Leo instantly dispel the curse.

 

-To dispel the Legion Commander’s curse so quickly.

 

-Legion Commander? That giant snake is a Legion Commander?

 

-Don’t tell me it’s the Devouring King Jormungandr?!

 

At Albus’s words, Elsi and Silorod were shocked.

 

“I’ll explain the details of how you were summoned later. Right now…”

 

Leo unleashed his spiritual power.

 

Elsi and Silorod resonated with that spiritual power.

 

“Focus on taking down that bastard!”

 

Leo roughly pulled on Albus’s reins.

 

Crackle-!

 

In response, pure white lightning swirled violently.

 

Jormungandr opened its massive maw and charged forward.

 

Crash-!

 

Albus, who dodged the attack, became lightning and raced forward.

 

Watching Leo and Albus instantly distance themselves, Jormungandr roared.

 

-Foolish one! Do you think it’s possible to escape from me!

 

Rumble-!

 

Jormungandr immediately gave chase.

 

Pegasus are the fastest beasts among all magical creatures.

 

And the Pure White King is the fastest even among Pegasus.

 

A terrifying speed that deserved to be called divine swiftness.

 

But Jormungandr pursued with speed that didn’t match its massive bulk.

 

Though fast, it couldn’t match Albus’s speed.

 

Yet despite this, the distance gradually closed.

 

Woong-!

 

Dark magic swirled, targeting Albus.

 

Albus flew upward, dodging the dark magic.

 

Jormungandr, as if prophesying Albus’s movements, cut across the shortest distance and gradually closed the gap.

 

Jormungandr’s nose kept twitching.

 

‘I can smell it. The scent of that detestable one’s movements!’

 

Its developed sense of smell not only tracked Leo but even told it the direction Leo would head.

 

It was truly an ability worthy of being called prophecy.

 

Devouring King Jormungandr.

 

Though it possessed overwhelming power, it wasn’t cunning like other Legion Commanders and didn’t even have a legion.

 

Yet the reason it reigned as the most feared demon of this era.

 

It was thanks to its overwhelmingly developed sense of smell that was close to future sight.

 

With that ability, Jormungandr devoured everything that stood in its way.

 

The hero devourer that consumed countless heroes who tried to protect the world.

 

Jormungandr tried to devour the hero before its eyes just as it had done before.

 

Snap-!

 

-I’ll chew you up!

 

Jormungandr opened its mouth wide.

 

At the same time, Leo unleashed his aura.

 

Super Sense.

 

He sharpened all his bodily senses to a razor’s edge.

 

The hero’s technique of always standing at the forefront in the most critical moments.

 

His razor-sharp senses detected the crisis.

 

Whoosh-!

 

Jormungandr’s eyes twitched at Leo’s movement that exceeded its predictions.

 

-You! Playing petty tricks! But escaping my eyes is impossible! The ability granted to me by the great God! In battle, I predict the future!

 

“I know. I suffered terribly because of that ability.”

 

Leo said coldly.

 

“But predicting the future in battle isn’t an ability only you possess.”

 

Leo knew.

 

Another person who could predict the future in battle.

 

‘Arron.’

 

The hero’s Super Sense transcends even time.

 

Arron’s unique domain that even Leo, who learned Super Sense from Arron, could never reach.

 

Even after Arron passed his aura to Kail, the Hero of the Beginning couldn’t reach the hero’s domain in the realm of Super Sense.

 

However, there was one moment when Kail stepped into Arron’s domain, if only briefly.

 

‘The final battle.’

 

Leo’s eyes flashed.

 

His aura burned.

 

All his bodily senses were sharpened to perfection.

 

Thump-thump-thump-

 

The sound of a heart beating violently echoed loudly.

 

The moment he heard that sound, everything in his vision began to slow down.

 

More precisely, Kail’s perception began to transcend time.

 

‘It’s impossible for me to step into Arron’s domain again right now.’

 

Leo’s gaze caught sight of Jormungandr overtaking him.

 

‘But…’

 

Blood vessels bulged around Leo’s eyes.

 

Thump- Thump- Thump-

 

Along with that, Leo’s heartbeat gradually slowed down.

 

‘For just a moment, surpassing Jormungandr…’

 

Thump-

 

‘Is possible.’

 

His heart stopped.

 

No, that’s how it felt.

 

At that moment.

 

Jormungandr’s shocked cry could be heard.

 

-Impossible! A being that surpasses my perception!

 

“That precious future prediction of yours. It doesn’t work on someone who sees one step ahead of you!”

 

-Do you think such an absurd monster exists!

 

“It’s right before your eyes, isn’t it?”

 

Leo sneered at Jormungandr.

 

“And if it’s faster than you, it’s impossible for something like you to catch up.”

 

Leo’s red eyes flashed.

 

“Struggle desperately to catch up and crawl around on the ground to your heart’s content, Devouring King.”

 

-Noooooom!

 

Jormungandr’s furious roar echoed through the air.

 

Rumble rumble rumble rumble!

 

As if coiling up, Jormungandr began rotating while curling its body in a circle.

 

Whirrr-!

 

Along with that, dark magic began rippling from its body.

 

-I’ll sweep you away along with this entire area!

 

Crash crash crash crash crash!

 

A massive whirlwind of dark magic was generated centered around Jormungandr.

 

Literally a disaster that would pulverize everything around it.

 

Leo felt the surrounding air being sucked toward Jormungandr.

 

Leo channeled his spiritual power and pulled on Albus’s reins.

 

Crackle crackle crackle crackle!

 

Crimson flames wrapped around Albus, who was clad in pure white lightning.

 

-Phoenix flames?

 

Albus showed a surprised expression.

 

The white Pegasus’s wings began burning fiercely.

 

It looked just like a Phoenix’s wings.

 

Jerdinger’s flames wrapped around Albus, whose power had been amplified by Leo.

 

Like strengthening a weapon with aura.

 

Albus obtained the mighty Phoenix flames.

 

-Good heavens!

 

Albus showed a shocked expression.

 

“You said I could handle you roughly, right?”

 

-Ugh?!

 

The flames burned his wings.

 

A Phoenix is a divine beast that burns itself to annihilate evil enemies.

 

The Phoenix flames caused Albus pain.

 

“Sorry, but please endure it.”

 

-I’ve made a contract with an absurd Pact Maker!

 

Albus flapped his flaming wings.

 

“It’s not over yet. Silorod! Enhancement magic!”

 

-Y-Yes!

 

Fairy magic circles appeared on Albus’s white body.

 

Bulge-!

 

Blood vessels bulged even more on Leo’s forehead as he maintained his enhanced senses while drawing out all his aura and spiritual power.

 

-Amazing.

 

Silorod showed a shocked expression watching Leo endlessly strengthen Albus.

 

But Leo didn’t stop there.

 

“Elsi.”

 

Whoooosh!

 

Black mana erupted from Elsi’s body at Leo’s call.

 

“Crush that thing.”

 

-Yes.

 

Elsi spread both arms.

 

Grip-!

 

-Huh?!

 

At that moment, Jormungandr’s body stopped.

 

Something had restrained Jormungandr’s body.

 

-What kind of pathetic trick is this!

 

Jormungandr twisted its body to break free from the restraining force.

 

But despite that terrifying strength, Jormungandr’s body didn’t budge an inch.

 

‘You! What exactly are you doing!’

 

Jormungandr’s eyes widened as its gaze suddenly turned toward its own shadow.

 

Squish- Squish- Squish-

 

The shadow began to crumple.

 

As if someone was kneading the shadow at will.

 

Jormungandr’s shadow began gathering into one place.

 

Accordingly, Jormungandr’s body also gathered together.

 

‘Shadow!’

 

Realizing the identity of what was restraining it, Jormungandr turned its eyes to look at Leo riding the flame-breathing Pegasus.

 

‘Pegasus and Fairy! And even controlling a Great Spirit of Darkness! What exactly are you!’

 

Meanwhile.

 

Drip-!

 

Blood flowed down from Leo’s eyes.

 

-Kail! Are you alright?

 

Albus asked urgently.

 

“I’m fine, I just.”

 

Leo pulled on the reins.

 

“Exceeded my limits a little.”

 

Crackle! Whoosh! Roar!

 

Leo charged together with Albus, leaving trails of lightning and flames.

 

Swoosh!

 

As darkness began to fall.

 

Leo charging at the massive Jormungandr looked like a small, fragile light.

 

The moment that thread-like light pierced through the darkness and struck Jormungandr.

 

Flash-! Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaang!

 

A tremendous flash created a massive crater simultaneously.

 

Kuuuuuuuuuuung-!

 

A huge shockwave swept in all directions.

 

Giant trees fell toward the opposite side of where the flash erupted, then were uprooted entirely.

 

Tremendous destructive power.

 

A single blow squeezed out by pushing the Beast King to its absolute limit.

 

As flames and lightning shot up into the sky.

 

Leo flew up into the air.

 

-That’s incredible.

 

“Yeah.”

 

Leo tightened his grip on the reins as he responded to Elsi’s murmur.

 

-But it’s not over.

 

Albus said coldly.

 

Kuuuuuuuu-

 

-Kuhuhuhuhuhuhuh.

 

A low laugh came from the center of the explosion.

 

-Kahahahahahahaha!

 

Maniacal laughter burst forth.

 

Jormungandr’s body shot up with eyes rolled back.

 

His body was melted and stuck together, his face grotesquely distorted.

 

Despite the tremendous recovery power that a Legion Commander possessed, the wounds left by Pegasus’s lightning and Phoenix’s flames hindered that recovery.

 

But even so, Jormungandr remained standing.

 

The blow Leo had squeezed out with everything he had.

 

It was certainly a tremendous attack.

 

But it was woefully insufficient to bring down Jormungandr.

 

-I’ll devour you by any means necessary!

 

Jormungandr’s eyes flashed.

 

He glared at his target with hateful eyes.

 

Nothing else mattered to him.

 

Those were the eyes of someone who would prioritize annihilating Leo by any means necessary.

 

“I’ve satisfied the first condition.”

 

Jormungandr, with his mind snapped, would keep charging until Leo was dead.

 

“I’m counting on you, Risinass.”
