The Transcendent Battle Between Great Khan Geum Taeyang and Chieftain Cassandra, and the Black-Haired Ultimate Beauty
“Cassandra Viola! She truly possesses tremendous magical power! To wield Transcendence with almost no casting time!”
Camilla, a Mind Weaver-class psychic, could not hide her astonishment at Cassandra’s sudden appearance. Transcendence was an ultra-high-class teleportation spell usable only by archmage-level casters. The sandstorm that had just materialized was precisely that spell. Even Camilla, who had seen her share of formidable mages, had never witnessed such a flawless Transcendence executed with virtually no preparation.
‘Hmm. In the game I never got to see her this pissed off. Cassandra noona’s angry face is ridiculously hot.’
To Geum Taeyang, however, the sight was less threatening than it was the alluring image of an alpha female he desperately wanted to claim.
“Once the main course appears, the appetizer loses its appeal. I suppose I’m just another hopeless male after all, Ivy’s mother. Your daughter is no longer of any value to me.”
Whoosh!
“Hnnngh…!!”
Thud!
Geum Taeyang’s expression shifted the moment Cassandra appeared. A direct confrontation between representatives of two races had finally begun. Yet even now, with his lower garments discarded and his manhood standing at full mast, the vulgar barbarian simply kicked Ivy aside and wiped his mouth.
“My daughter Ivy, endure this humiliation a little longer. This mother will sever that vulgar human’s manhood, rip out his heart, and rescue you.”
Cassandra’s voice was grave. She wanted nothing more than to charge forward in fury, but she knew that even beating Geum Taeyang to death would not be enough. Still, the fate of her tribe hung on this duel, so she forced herself to focus solely on the coming battle.
“How bloodthirsty, Ivy’s mother! In that case, shall I, Geum Taeyang, personally step forward to have my heart threatened?”
Geum Taeyang wore a face so punchable it could make saints violent, openly mocking Cassandra’s solemnity as he strolled toward her.
“Great Khan! Entering Cassandra’s domain so carelessly is dangerous! She possesses the power of an archmage! Moreover, as you have already seen, this entire area has been pre-set by her.”
Camilla cried out in alarm at Geum Taeyang’s reckless advance.
“Trust me. I’m the one who dragged her out here. If I start acting cautious now, it’ll only look more ridiculous.”
Geum Taeyang reassured her with absolute confidence. An S-rank psychic stood at the level of an archmage, while S+ reached the realm of a grand mage. Only EX ranked as a true sage.
“Hey there! Since we’re finally facing each other so openly, allow me to greet you properly. I am Geum Taeyang, Great Khan of the Mohican tribe.”
Having closed the distance to roughly fifty meters, Geum Taeyang offered Cassandra a formal introduction. Yet—
“You intend to fight a battle that will decide the fate of our peoples… dressed like that?”
His appearance was anything but formal. Naturally, Geum Taeyang’s lower half remained completely exposed, and his erect manhood showed no sign of subsiding. Even Cassandra, who was desperately trying to maintain her dignity, could not help but let out a weary sigh at the sight.
“I ask for your understanding, Ivy’s mother. We Mohican Great Khans are simply overflowing with vitality. Once my cock gets fully hard, it doesn’t go down until I’ve had my fill. Hahaha!”
Geum Taeyang was shameless, yet he still voiced his “grievance” to Cassandra. Already responsible for five women and having unofficially taken two more concubines just last night, he needed extraordinary stamina to satisfy them all without neglect.
‘Hnnngh…! He truly knows how to test the limits of my patience…’
Cassandra’s hands trembled. She was thirty-nine years old, on the verge of her fortieth birthday. To her eyes, Geum Taeyang looked no older than twenty-three or twenty-four. The thought of being shaken by a boy sixteen years her junior only fueled her fury.
‘Against a psychic, psychological warfare is key. Especially against a woman like Cassandra who has lived her whole life in a greenhouse.’
Everything was unfolding exactly as the meticulous Geum Taeyang had planned.
‘[Eye of the Transcendent]!’
Geum Taeyang activated the skill on Cassandra Viola.
Name:Cassandra Viola

Class:Nature Minder

Favorability:0/100
‘As expected, Ivy’s mother really is my main heroine.’
Having already played Records of World Conquest, Geum Taeyang knew Cassandra’s abilities inside and out. The real reason he had activated the Eye of the Transcendent was to confirm whether she was a main heroine. The appearance of a favorability meter proved he was right.
‘At S-rank, the listed special abilities are only the core class traits. She must have an enormous number of supporting skills.’
Neither Echo Voice nor high-grade Transcendence appeared on the status window. Those were merely auxiliary abilities for an archmage; the window only displayed the unique class-defining powers.
‘A Nature Minder who controls natural elements is truly untouchable on defense. Once [Flora Dominion] and [Monster Dominion] are set up, they can be activated almost infinitely. No wonder even the Grace Kingdom has never been able to fundamentally suppress the Ragnarok tribe.’
Cassandra’s unique class was Nature Minder, a mage specialized in controlling nature. [Flora Dominion] allowed her to manipulate and transform plants, wind, water, and earth, while [Monster Dominion] let her control animals and monsters. The difference between a Ghast Mender’s spirit domination and Monster Dominion was that the latter could subjugate even high-intelligence monsters like the dragon Irene.
“I have no desire to look at that disgraceful appearance any longer, Great Khan Geum Taeyang. Let us settle this.”
Shhhhhhh…!!!
An emerald barrier formed in front of Cassandra. While Nature Minders could use blue mana, they primarily wielded spirit energy. From within the emerald barrier, a staff of mysterious beauty slowly rose into view.
‘The growing heroic relic, Life Tree Staff!’
Geum Taeyang, who genuinely appreciated the weapons of his heroines, could not help but admire Cassandra’s relic. Moreover, it was no ordinary heroic relic.
‘If Cassandra’s Life Tree Staff had already evolved to legendary rank, even I with my two legendary relics would have had a much harder time acting so cocky.’
The Life Tree Staff was a magical staff blessed by the Life Water itself. Its greatest feature was its ability to grow—from the highest grade all the way to legendary rank. Each stage required its own fortuitous encounter. Currently, Cassandra’s staff remained at the pinnacle of heroic relics.
“It is an honor to behold the legendary Life Tree Staff. In that case, it would only be proper for me to show my own weapons as well, Ivy’s mother.”
“To speak of propriety now is rather shameless of you.”
“You sure hold a grudge, don’t you? Kekeke!”
Excited by the magnificent Life Tree Staff, Geum Taeyang struck a dramatic pose, speaking politely as he prepared to reveal his own weapons. Cassandra, still forced to confront his fully erect lower half, shot back in disbelief. The shameless man merely shrugged with what little conscience he possessed.
“Behold! The magnificent relics of Geum Taeyang, Great Khan of the Mohicans…!”
Shaaaa…!
Paaah…!
Despite his embarrassment, Geum Taeyang did not hesitate. Multiple relics manifested at once. To his right, a weapon inventory barrier opened and the demonic sword Luciena appeared. Over his upper body—excluding his shameless lower half—appeared the legendary armor Celendis.
“A man who wields two heroic relics…!”
Even Cassandra, who had formed such a terrible first impression of him, widened her eyes in shock. Those who experienced even one fortuitous encounter were called the chosen. Someone who possessed two relics of extraordinary rank was truly rare. Even if their actual combat power did not match, the mere possession of double heroic relics earned them treatment comparable to a single legendary relic.
‘What a shame. If I had shown her my double legendary relics, Ivy’s mother would have pissed herself right through that loincloth.’
Geum Taeyang thoroughly enjoyed Cassandra’s reaction. The reason she perceived his relics as merely heroic rather than legendary was due to the [Hidden Rank] skill, a special ability of legendary relics that concealed their true power. In battle, hiding one’s full strength was itself a form of strength. Geum Taeyang had activated the camouflage skills on both Luciena and Celendis, making Cassandra see them as heroic relics.
“I see. So this is the reason you dared to march so boldly into a place even the Grace Kingdom’s army fears to invade, Great Khan Geum Taeyang of the Mohican tribe.”
Shhhhh…!!
Having confirmed Geum Taeyang’s power, Cassandra’s expression grew deeply serious. She channeled magical energy into her Life Tree Staff.
“That’s right. The conquest of Cassandra Viola that even the Grace Kingdom’s army could not achieve—I, Great Khan Geum Taeyang, will accomplish it.”
Shhhk…!!
Geum Taeyang assumed a flawless drawing stance, making his current state of erect nudity seem almost irrelevant.
Flash—!
[Flora Dominion, Latus Arbour]
In that instant, Cassandra’s eyes gleamed emerald as she chanted. Immediately—
Shuuuuk!
Creak, creak, creak!
Shaaaaak!
The Life Tree seeds scattered throughout the sand, which Camilla had mentioned earlier, sprouted and rapidly grew into grotesque, massive tree trunks.
[Attack!]
Roughly twenty enormous trunks had risen. Cassandra issued the attack command to the clearly aggressive-looking growths. The Life Tree trunks shot toward Geum Taeyang like a barrage.
“Watch closely, Cassandra. This is the powerful figure of the husband who will soon claim you.”
Clang…!!
Geum Taeyang coated Luciena with a pale-purple sword aura as he spoke. Then, using True Mana Step, he instantly charged into the forest of trunks.
Slash! Slash! Slash!
With flashes of sword aura, he carved through the thick trunks surrounding him. Each one was as wide as a massive ancient tree, yet they sliced apart like soft tofu beneath Luciena’s blade.
“Oh…!”
Cassandra let out a gasp of admiration, but her expression remained relaxed. The reason became clear when fresh Life Tree trunks rapidly regrew from the cleanly severed surfaces.
Shuuuk! Shuuuk! Shashashak!
“Tch… Annoying.”
Geum Taeyang continued dodging and cutting, clicking his tongue as he experienced firsthand just how powerful a psychic could be in a pre-set battlefield.
Shuaaaak!!
“Behind you, Great Khan of the Mohicans.”
In the midst of the chaotic melee, Geum Taeyang failed to notice a trunk attacking from behind. The sharp Life Tree trunk struck him squarely.
“!!????”
Yet it was not Geum Taeyang whose expression changed—it was Cassandra’s.
‘An afterimage???’
The trunk passed straight through Geum Taeyang, and through her link with the Life Tree, Cassandra felt no impact whatsoever. What the trunk had struck was merely an afterimage.
“I used a technique too, Cassandra!”
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pat!!!
The real Geum Taeyang had already closed to within ten meters of her. Phantom Blitz—the special skill of the legendary armor Celendis—was an illusion-type ability.
Just as the transcendent battle between two S-rank Awakeners reached its peak—
Swish, swish, swish…!!
A woman with beautiful black hair fluttering in the wind appeared.
“Truly remarkable Awakeners are fighting over there.”
The white-skinned woman clad in silk robes sat atop a white horse, gazing toward the direction where the massive Life Tree of the Ragnarok tribe had manifested, and spoke in a soft voice.
