Chapter 28
Twenty-five days had passed since Jeon Jae-woo entered the Ancient Grade Ruin known as the Wall of Void.
He stood with sword in hand, trimming the beard that had grown wild on his face.
—How dare you use this body for something so crude as shaving whiskers…!!
The Ego Sword trembled, indignant at the indignity.
A whole month had gone by—wasn’t it about time the thing got tired of complaining?
Having spent nearly a month inside the ruin, Jeon Jae-woo had grown noticeably gaunt.
And even now, in this very moment, monsters continued to hurl themselves at him relentlessly.
—Crackle-snap!!
Myeol-geop drew near and electrocuted a Sea Serpent into charred meat.
Four Skeleton Knights and hundreds of ordinary skeletal soldiers stood guard around Jeon Jae-woo.
Monsters poured in from all directions, yet thanks to his summoned creatures, Jeon Jae-woo faced no real danger.
To spend more than a month inside a ruin, any human had to solve the food problem—but before entering, he’d stored enough provisions deep within No-bum’s body.
No-bum was both a possessor of powerful healing abilities and served as an item storage, functioning like a spatial magic repository.
The more he saw of them, the more Jeon Jae-woo realized that unlike Myeol-geop—a pure combat specialist—No-bum was thoroughly tailored for practicality.
So now Jeon Jae-woo simply fell into a routine: eating alone, sleeping alone, swinging his sword and training alone.
In the early days of the ruin’s conquest, he’d trained hard alongside Myeol-geop, hunting monsters directly.
Real combat training. Rest. Then training again.
Myeol-geop, being a combat expert, excelled at imparting his strength and had an uncanny knack for timing rest and practice intervals perfectly.
Now the monsters spawning had grown so powerful that Jeon Jae-woo could no longer engage—the three of them handled everything themselves.
Myeol-geop had been fighting nearly nonstop for thirty days, but thanks to No-bum’s infinite healing, he never tired.
And when Jeon Jae-woo wasn’t training, he’d hand his Ego Sword to Myeol-geop.
The moment Myeol-geop grasped the Ego Sword and swung it, something flickered brilliantly before his eyes.
Nearby monsters were pulverized, and the shockwave split a distant mountain peak clean in two.
Jeon Jae-woo’s jaw dropped in awe.
‘Damn, that’s incredible.’
So a legendary blade’s power truly does shift depending on who wields it.
He wondered if he’d ever swing a sword like that.
〈???〉 – Bound to (Jeon Jae-woo)
Description – A Divine Sword that possesses selfhood, serves its owner, and cuts through all things beneath heaven while protecting its master. If the user’s cultivation is insufficient, the sword’s full performance cannot be realized.
Type – Ego Weapon
Traits – Sword Qi (A), Sword Qi Amplification (S), Sword of Otherworldly Qi (S), Divine Sword Unity (Transcendent), Sword Spirit (Transcendent), Heart Sword (Sealed)
When Myeol-geop held the Ego Sword, even the Sword Spirit trait had been unlocked.
But what was this Heart Sword that remained sealed even when Myeol-geop wielded it?
To think that even Myeol-geop, who possessed two Transcendent Grade traits, couldn’t unlock it.
—How dare you place this body in the hands of a mere golem! And you still call yourself the sword’s master!!
……
If only he could sew that thing’s mouth shut—too bad a sword had no lips.
Still, the results of training alongside Myeol-geop had been substantial.
In merely a few days, Jeon Jae-woo could feel himself growing significantly as a Hunter.
Much of that came from the solid foundation he’d laid beforehand—consuming massive amounts of World Tree Elixir to purge turbidity, build resistance, and increase his mana reserves.
—Whoooosh!
Now he could release Sword Qi from an ordinary blade without any difficulty.
As time passed, the end of the Wall of Void’s conquest drew near.
Soon the final boss—the ultimate monster of this Ancient Grade ruin—seemed about to make its appearance.
—Groooowwwl…
A monster that rivaled the World Tree they’d slain before emerged before Jeon Jae-woo’s party.
The instant he laid eyes on it, Jeon Jae-woo felt fear course through him, and he reflexively stumbled backward.
“…What on earth is that?”
“I’m scared, Master.”
No-bum, gripped by terror, clung tightly to Jeon Jae-woo and wouldn’t let go.
The creature was enormous, its grotesque form composed of countless writhing tentacles.
It was as if something from Lovecraftian cosmic horror itself—an alien god that seemed to step out of myth.
At the appearance of such a powerful monster, Eldritch trembled with fear even as fascination gleamed in his eyes.
“Quite the specimen. If only I could haul the whole thing back to the lab…”
There wasn’t a laboratory on Earth large enough to house such a thing.
Only Myeol-geop, standing at an equal tier with the creature, showed no emotional disturbance.
Still, with Eldritch, No-bum, and Myeol-geop fighting together, they faced no real problem.
As Myeol-geop brandished the Ego Sword, bolstered by No-bum’s mana supply and Eldritch’s support, they pushed the tentacle monster back relentlessly.
—Slice!
Myeol-geop tore through the heart of the beast without difficulty, buried as it was among countless tentacles.
A day had passed since the battle began, and they’d finally brought down the tentacled monstrosity.
‘Is the ruin conquest finished here?’
Jeon Jae-woo felt his tension ease at the thought that it was all over.
“Everyone did great work.”
No-bum stored the remaining tentacles inside his body for safekeeping.
A creature of this caliber could be considered the final boss of what an Ancient Grade ruin might produce.
Yet the ruin system had said thirty days would pass before—
Normally that would be the end, but had they simply eliminated the enemies too quickly?
“Just to be safe, let’s not leave the ruin right away. We’ll stay until the thirty days are up…”
-Groooowwwl…
“??”
But in the next moment, the ground began to shake violently.
Something was unmistakably wrong—it felt like another creature was about to emerge.
‘Surely there’s nothing else left?’
They’d already defeated the strongest beast that an Ancient Grade ruin could produce.
Yet according to the ruin system, the number of creatures in this ruin was infinite.
Ancient Grade or otherwise, the rank of appearing creatures could rise infinitely as well.
-Kuuuuoooong!!
“What—what is that?!”
[……!!]
Tremendous mana began to condense, and something materialized before Jeon Jae-woo and his companions.
“……”
Jeon Jae-woo swallowed hard.
[…This is dangerous, Creator. Do not step forward under any circumstances.]
For the first time, even Myeol-geop—who had never once lost composure—tensed.
What appeared before Jeon Jae-woo’s eyes was an enormous sphere of energy.
And from that sphere emanated a disparity in power that defied words to describe.
It was the kind of feeling a priest might experience upon witnessing the resurrection of Christ himself.
‘Could this actually be a god?’
Eldritch trembled with a laugh, unsure whether he was delighted or terrified.
“…If a Mythic Grade ruin were to produce only a single enemy to defeat, it would surely be something like that.”
Humanity had conquered only one Mythic Grade ruin, and only by uniting their collective strength.
In that case, there had been many creatures, and while powerful, none had possessed the overwhelming dominance of a single entity.
But this one before Jeon Jae-woo was different.
That energy sphere was, in every sense, the concentrated power of everything the Mythic Grade ruin contained.
It was an existence before which humans could rightfully regard it as a true god itself.
-Ziiiiing.
In the next instant, mana concentrated on the surface of the energy sphere.
Looking at it this way, the sphere resembled the pupil of some vast eye.
Myeol-geop startled and hurriedly issued orders to the other two.
[Eldritch! No-bum! Protect the Creator!!]
“Master! Pardon the intrusion!”
“Huh?”
No-bum enlarged his body and swallowed Jeon Jae-woo whole in one gulp.
And Myeol-geop used the Absolute Defense trait to manifest an enormous defensive barrier.
Simultaneously, No-bum supplied natural mana to support Myeol-geop.
Eldritch, too, added his Barrier trait—weaker than Absolute Defense, but an added layer nonetheless.
-Flash!!
The condensed massive mana from the sphere shot toward Jeon Jae-woo’s group.
-Kwaaaaaaaa!!!
An energy beam that seemed intent on obliterating the world collided head-on with the barrier.
The energy that struck the barrier dispersed in all directions.
And from just a fraction of that dispersed energy, a distant mountain peak vaporized entirely.
“…Having felt it directly, it makes even less sense.”
Eldritch’s barrier had vanished the moment the energy sphere’s beam touched it.
It seemed better to focus on supplying mana so Myeol-geop could hold out longer.
“Hold on—are you managing?”
[…It is bearable.]
-Kuuuuoooong!!!
The energy sphere continued pouring mana at Myeol-geop for an extended period.
More than an hour had passed, yet it showed no sign of stopping.
The energy sphere was absorbing the ruin’s mana from its surroundings, just as No-bum was doing.
It was clear that it would not cease its assault for even a moment until they were completely annihilated within the ruin.
Myeol-geop could maintain an endless Barrier with mana support from No-bum’s natural forces, but—
Crack-crack-crack-crack!
The fundamental gap in power between it and the energy sphere was so vast that the Barrier trembled increasingly.
Eldritch, who was deploying a Barrier alongside him, asked with concern.
“Listen, Golem. Will this really be okay?”
[There’s nowhere else to go in this situation.]
The moment we drop the Barrier to move, that mass of energy will incinerate us.
Yet it’s equally clear that merely holding out like this is far too dangerous.
“Your baseline specs are fundamentally different from that sphere. Even if you both receive the same mana, there’s a limit to how much you can actually accept. Wouldn’t it be better to convince the Creator to abandon the ruin’s conquest and leave?”
Hearing Eldritch’s words, Myeol-geop turned to No-bum.
[Spirit, you can keep supplying mana, yes?]
“Yes? Of course, senior.”
As long as the ruin doesn’t disappear, No-bum’s mana supply—made infinite through unity with nature—could be transmitted to Myeol-geop.
The energy sphere would not stop until they were eliminated anyway.
And the Master’s objective was not to defeat that energy sphere.
[We simply endure, however we can, until the remaining time for the ruin’s conquest expires.]
This is insane.
Eldritch spoke as if dumbfounded.
“If this keeps up, your body will be completely destroyed.”
[As long as No-bum provides support, I won’t sustain damage severe enough for my form to vanish completely. And if we use the Creator’s Heaven’s Box ability, we can repair me again.]
Myeol-geop and the other Summoned Creatures had to endure as long as possible and make choices that benefited the Creator as much as they could.
That was the purpose of their existence.
The remaining time until the ruin’s conquest ended wasn’t that long anyway. At most a day or two?
If he continued receiving mana from No-bum, he could maintain the Barrier somehow until then.
[Everyone, serve the Creator well until I’m operational again.]
……
So Myeol-geop endured, weathering the energy sphere’s assault until the ruin finally disappeared.
At last, the month-long challenge to the Wall of Void ruin had come to an end.
