Chapter 129

Nyong-yong Yong-yong

“So you too… have become this human’s summoned creature.”

“It’s been a while, Golden Dragon.”

It was a strangely awkward greeting.

Azure Dragon and Golden Dragon.

No, now they were Nyong Nyong and Yong-yong.

Like family members who had been scattered long ago.

Reuniting in a place that was anything but welcome.

“…Yes.”

Golden Dragon let out a low breath.

“I really was defeated without being able to put up any resistance.”

His voice carried a sense of injustice.

Even after being incorporated as Kim Jun’s summoned creature.

Separate from recognizing him as his master.

About that one-sided beating that was too embarrassing to even call a decisive battle.

He still looked like he couldn’t accept it.

“I was the same. There’s no need to dwell on it.””

Nyong Nyong answered calmly.

Right now, there was no being that could stand against Kim Jun.

At least not in this vicinity.

“…Then are those demons the same?”

Yong-yong’s gaze turned toward Andras and Belphegor.

“That’s right.”

A moment of silence.

“If it’s a human of that caliber anyway…”

Golden Dragon muttered.

“Whether it was you or those demons, it would have been difficult to endure.”

“…Mm.”

Nyong Nyong trailed off strangely.

“…? What’s wrong?”

Golden Dragon tilted his head.

“Nothing.”

Nyong Nyong paused for a moment before speaking.

“Still, I… used a skill at least once.”

“….”

Suddenly, the atmosphere became subtle.

“What, what did you say?”

“Oh, and.”

Nyong Nyong added.

“Since I became a summoned creature first.”

“…First?”

“I’m… so to speak… your senior.”

“?!”

Golden Dragon’s eyes widened.

At that moment.

“Kehehehehehe!”

Andras, who had been listening from behind, clutched his stomach and laughed.

“Nyong Nyong! You got a junior! You’ve escaped being the youngest!”

*

“Phew…”

Kim Jun let out a light breath.

Just until a moment ago.

It was right after he had continuously poured various states and skills against the Golden Dragon.

「Yeonje」, 「Berserk」, and even ‘Ruler of Perfect Squares’ that consumed mana.

In the past, he would have been gasping for breath by now.

But.

Swoosh swoosh-

His body was far too fine.

There was no heat that should have remained in his muscles.

His joints weren’t stiff either.

His mind was strangely clear.

It felt as if he had just loosened up his body rather than engaged in intense combat.

“Master.”

Andras glanced at Kim Jun and said.

“Your physical condition… are you really okay?”

“Yeah. I’m fine.”

Kim Jun clenched and unclenched his hand.

Mana responded immediately.

To the point where it was hard to believe he had just used it to near-rampage levels.

Swooosh-

The flow was clean.

What changed upon reaching SS rank.

There was the damage aspect too.

But what deserved attention was recovery power.

There was no sensation of mana depletion.

At a speed that didn’t even give fatigue a chance to accumulate.

His body was organizing itself on its own.

“This is strange!!”

“What is.”

Andras shouted while feeling around Kim Jun’s body.

“Normally after using this much power, you’d be lying down all day!!”

“That’s right.”

Kim Jun nodded.

Then briefly recalled before his regression.

When he had reached EX rank.

Back then, just bringing his fingertips close would make whatever they touched explode.

Even without conscious thought, his power would react first.

After combat ended, the very concept of recovery disappeared.

Before the judgment of exhaustion could come.

His body was already preparing for the next fight.

His current state was.

“Compared to back then, I’m still far from enough.”

Kim Jun’s voice was calm.

At the same time.

The memory of collapsing without being able to do anything before the being that called itself ‘Almighty’ followed.

The 100th Floor.

His pre-regression self who had stood before it.

Even then, it was exactly the same as now.

There was no chance to resist, no leisure to judge.

Almighty had simply extended its hand lightly.

Just like Kim Jun had done to the Golden Dragon now.

Tap-

With that single contact, the battle didn’t even establish itself.

Just as the Golden Dragon had collapsed moments ago without being able to do anything, Kim Jun back then had also.

He rolled on the ground, unable to do anything.

Completely overturned position.

“…Tsk.”

He clicked his tongue briefly.

It wasn’t anger.

It wasn’t frustration either.

It was a simple confirmation.

Still far to go.

Even his current growth rate felt leisurely compared to his goal.

There was no reason to be satisfied, no room for complacency.

“Nyong Nyong, Yong-yong.”

“What is it…”

“P-please, our names…”

Instead of answering, Kim Jun turned around.

Two demons.

Two dragons.

Boss battles and field battles alike.

There was no longer any reason to delay the Hell conquest ahead.

“You two, this is your first time in Hell, right?”

“…I hate demons.”

“I also detest demons.”

Grumbling followed, but Kim Jun didn’t stop.

Snap-

Space folded, and Kim Jun’s figure disappeared.

*

“Now, execute!”

“…”

“…”

“What’s this?”

When Kim Jun adopted the two dragons.

He newly created a skill.

Not received.

A skill he ‘created’.

To be precise.

Something closer to a command than a skill.

It wasn’t given by the system either.

Kim Jun just made it because he needed it.

“Execute!!”

“…”

“…”

“These guys.”

But for some reason, the two dragons seemed unwilling to perform Kim Jun’s newly created skill.

They just maintained their silence.

Crack crack-

When Kim Jun cracked his knuckles and showed them his fist.

“Ah, understood…”

“W-we’ll do it right away…”

Finally, they began to move hesitantly.

This place was the 61st Underground floor.

A place suitable for the two dragons to play around.

A place called [Hell’s Battlefield].

As if reminiscent of the Manchurian plains.

The widest field in the Underground, or Hell, stretched endlessly.

The vastness where roughly dozens of kilometers could be seen at a glance.

The sky held a dark red hue as if within burning flames.

Even the wind was hot.

And what covered that hot earth was.

Rustle-

Grass.

Grass with a deep red color like blood.

That deep crimson color, hiding nothing about being vegetation grown in hell.

The height of the grass was about ankle-deep for a person.

Between those grasses.

Endlessly spread mounted figures could be seen.

To the distant invisible end.

Something clad in black armor filled the space.

‘Hmm.’

Kim Jun narrowed his eyes and surveyed them.

Black full plate armor.

Horned helmets.

Red burning eyes.

And what they were riding was.

‘Hell horses, perhaps.’

Horse-shaped magical beasts with black manes flowing and sparks flying from their hooves.

The demon cavalry mounted on them.

About 10,000.

No, perhaps even more.

Thump. Thump. Thump.

They weren’t even running while looking this way.

Yet the scale was enough to shake the earth.

‘I wonder if those things are also included in the Gate of Hell.’

Kim Jun swallowed his saliva for a moment.

Then looked at the two dragons.

“Now. Nyong Nyong, Yong-yong!”

“Yes, yep…”

“Yep…”

He activated the skill again.

“Execute!!!”

“Hah… shit…”

“Sigh… can’t be helped…”

The reason Nyong Nyong and Yong-yong so hated using this skill was.

“Kekekekehehe! As expected, master’s naming sense is terrible!”

“Shut up.”

Because the skill name Kim Jun gave was terrible.

Strictly speaking, it wasn’t even a skill, but a technique forcibly created.

“Nyo, Nyong Nyong!”

“Yo, Yong-yong!”

“Nyong-yong Yong-yong Combined Breath!”

“Nyong-yong Yong-yong Combined Breath!”

The name was ridiculous.

But the power was certainly not.

How much thought had Kim Jun put into creating this technique.

Of course, of course.

Kuguuuuuu-

The sky rumbled first.

Azure Dragon and Golden Dragon.

The emperors of the East and Center.

Within thousands of years of time.

Beings who had received the prayers of humans.

Every time dynasties rose and fell.

They were there.

Nodding their heads from atop the emperor’s throne.

Blessing the earth’s abundance.

Humans called out their names.

As religion, as faith, as objects of worship.

Throughout the centuries.

They were sanctity itself.

Not strong, not great.

Simply by existing, they sustained the world.

The power of such beings.

Now.

On this [Hell’s Battlefield].

“Go wild for once. If you do well, I’ll change your names. Both the skill name and your names too.”

“…!!!”

“Ah, got it!!”

With Kim Jun’s permission.

Without any restrictions.

It was purely unleashed.

Kwaaaaaaaaa-!!

From the sky.

Two breaths poured down simultaneously.

The first to catch the eye was Azure Dragon.

Nyong Nyong’s breath.

Was not a single attribute.

Fire.

Water.

Wind.

Lightning.

The power of four origins intertwined.

Forming a single beam of light.

It was not by chance.

What the Eastern Emperor had protected.

Spring’s awakening of all things.

Summer’s falling rain.

Autumn’s blowing wind.

Winter’s lightning splitting the sky.

It symbolized the circulation of all these things.

The cycle of seasons.

The principle of nature.

That very order protected for thousands of years.

Now under Kim Jun’s hand.

Had become a weapon.

And on top of that.

The black flames learned from Kim Jun.

Kkaddeuddeuddeuk-!

「Black Flame」 was layered on.

Fire left black afterimages in its wake.

Water mixed with black shadows.

Wind tore like black blades.

And lightning.

“Wow.”

Kim Jun let out an exclamation of admiration.

Thunder.

The lightning breath mixed with 「Black Flame」.

Did not fall in a straight line.

It split irregularly.

Bounced.

And returned.

Like a giant spider web.

Pazizizizizizi-!!

It spread across the entire [Hell’s Battlefield].

Not only where the lightning touched.

But everything nearby as well.

All of it was engulfed and burned.

Where the black lightning had passed.

No demon cavalry remained.

No smoke.

No ash either.

They simply vanished.

As if they had never existed in the first place.

And.

Beside it.

The Golden Dragon.

Yong-yong’s breath.

Erupted forth.

No technique.

No combination.

No mixing.

Pure golden light.

Pure absoluteness.

Kwaaaaaa——!!

As if pouring out the Sun itself.

An overwhelming mass of energy.

The center of all things.

What all things are directed toward.

And the axis around which all things must revolve.

That absolute center.

Now poured out explosively.

From the Golden Dragon’s mouth.

Defense.

Resistance.

Tactics.

None were permitted.

The moment it touched.

Everything was crushed and shattered.

Not only the demon cavalry.

But the hell demons as well.

Even the very earth they stood upon.

The ground was gouged out.

Tudududududuk-

The earth collapsed.

The field itself couldn’t withstand it and was crumbling.

The two breaths that swept across in an X formation.

Had completely overturned [Hell’s Battlefield].

Whiuuuuung…

For a moment.

Only silence remained.

After that.

Nothing remained.

No explosions, no smoke.

No smell of blood, no screams.

No 10,000 demon knights.

No vast wasteland.

Everything.

Had vanished.

Kim Jun slowly looked down at the scene.

A being that had been an object of worship in the East for ages.

Authority itself that had been the absolute center.

Simply as his summoned creature.

According to his will.

The sight of completely annihilating the field.

“Good. Clean and tidy.”

“Um, about our names…”

“We killed them all though…”

The scene of devastating this staircase with multicolored breaths.

Was truly worthy of being called spectacular.

“Good. Let’s keep going like this. Nyong Nyong, Yong-yong.”

“Um, about the names…”

“We did what you told us to…”

With this level of power.

“Come on, do the same on the next floor. You did very well.”

“Um, excuse me?”

“What about our names?”

There would be no problems in the upcoming battles of attrition.

“Alright, let’s move!”

“Um, hey!”

“Our, our names… at least the skill names…”

Kim Jun headed to the next floor.

“This damn…”

“That bastard…”
