Chapter Title: Ullion Falls
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Clang! Clang! Clang!
An intense exchange of blows continued.
Even though it was fabricated, Ullion's prowess in wielding the power of light was on another level.
Ill have to unleash up to the third stage.
He wanted to end it at the second stage if possible, but at this rate, hed have to go all the way to the maximum third stage.
How long are you going to keep defending?
Ullion swung his sword down from above, and Jeong Hoon raised his blade to meet the strike head-on.
Rumble
In that instant, immense pressure crushed down on Jeong Hoons body, and the ground beneath him cratered from the impact.
The recoil was tremendous.
Blood vessels burst in Jeong Hoons eyes, his eardrums ruptured, and blood streamed from his nose and mouth due to internal injuries.
Divine Healing.
Jeong Hoon tried to recover his body with Divine Healing.
But unlike before, it didnt take effect.
This is dangerous.
Januss expression turned grave.
A seal?
The power of light that Ullion wielded.
That power had shackled Jeong Hoons body.
Hup!
Jeong Hoon drew up even more energy and swiftly shattered the shackles binding him.
Crack!
With a shockwave echoing in his mind, Divine Healing activated once more.
Using Divine Healing.
Jeong Hoons body rapidly healed, and his movements grew even faster.
Hoh, you broke the shackles. As expected of Janus You have to disappear from here.
Youre the one whos going to die.
Human. I wasnt talking to you.
To Ullion, Jeong Hoon was nothing more than Januss puppet.
He could even come to the divine realm and stand against him only because of Janus.
So, kill the human and Janus would vanish right here.
What they were preparing inside wasnt for the destruction of the divine realm or even the Primatos, the chief godit included Janus too.
Hed wipe them all out and become the true master.
Then dont talk while looking at me?
Jeong Hoon stepped forward with Supremacy of the Heavenly Demon, positioning himself in front of Ullion once more.
No, youre too weak.
Ullions aura grew even fiercer.
The gray armor, now gleaming black, darkened further, and his aura delved into deeper abyssal depths.
That was the third stage.
!
Jeong Hoon instinctively swung his sword.
Clang!
A sharp metallic clash sent shockwaves through his entire body, nearly toppling him off balance.
Dodge!
Janus shouted urgently.
I know.
Even as Jeong Hoon swung his sword to barely block Ullions strike, dozens more blades closed in on his life.
Speeds too fast to follow with the eyes.
Relying on his senses to deflect them, he still couldnt defend perfectly, and cuts multiplied across his body.
Using Divine Healing.
When he took a critical hit, he hurriedly used Divine Healing to heal.
How long do you think those tricks will work?
Ullions glowing white eyes scanned Jeong Hoon from head to toe.
Of course theyll work.
The corner of Jeong Hoons mouth slowly curved up.
What?
Ullions eyes narrowed at the absurd response.
He thrust his sword forward.
Countless strikes pierced toward Jeong Hoon, who couldnt rely on barriers and failed to block them perfectly.
Urk!
His body mangled, Jeong Hoon spat out a mouthful of blood.
Determined to finish it, Ullion yanked the sword from Jeong Hoons abdomen, raised it high, and brought it down.
Boom!
In that moment, Jeong Hoons form vanished, and Ullions sword slammed into the ground.
What?
Confusion spread across Ullions face.
He couldnt read it at all.
What just happened?
The guys skills were impressive, sure, but compared to him, the God of the Battlefield, they fell far short.
He should have lost his life to that attack.
Slash!
As his thoughts reached that point, a sharp pain stung his back.
Ullion spun around in alarm.
In that instant, his vision spun wildly.
Huh?
What was happening?
Thud.
His head was severed.
Cleanly.
Whew, that hurt like hell.
Jeong Hoon healed his body with Divine Healing as he looked down at Ullion.
H-how did you do that?
Master?!
Mukho and Anima, who had been watching anxiously from the side, gaped in shock.
Hah.
Even Tenebris was too stunned to speak.
This guy told me, so I could catch him.
Jeong Hoon pointed at Ullions head with his finger.
Told you?
Yeah. About how to handle annihilation.
Annihilation?
Mukho tilted his head.
In the battle with Ullion just now, nothing about annihilation had come up, had it?
He blocked me from healing earlier.
What does that have to do with annihilation?
Rules.
Rules?
Yeah.
Coexistence of light and darkness.
Hed used fabricated light to shackle him in coexistence.
Then shattered it with stronger light and darkness.
Thats where Jeong Hoon got his hint.
If Ullion could do it, there was no reason he, who wielded greater power, couldnt.
So he induced carelessness, set the instant death rule on Titans blade.
The rule took hold as expected, and by focusing on speed to dodge Ullions attack, then slashing his back and neck, he ended the fight.
Hoh, sharp instincts.
Janus clapped, delighted.
Shut up.
Jeong Hoon glared at Janus briefly before sheathing his sword.
Hm? Are you mad I didnt tell you earlier?
All Janus had done was enable Jeong Hoon to wield light and darkness.
He hadnt offered any further advice.
Jeong Hoon had to discover and apply it himself.
If Janus had explained properly, he couldve taken out Ullion faster.
But that wasnt what angered Jeong Hoon.
Hes not dying even with his head cut off.
Despite his head being severed, Ullions eyes glared up at Jeong Hoon.
Human Dont think youve won.
No, I clearly have.
Shut up! I just let it happen to buy time!
Oh, so you saw the loss coming?
Grr!
Ullion ground his teeth.
Talking to that creature felt like a drag.
Whatever. It was fine.
The signal that preparations were complete had just come.
The human sensed it too.
His face was a sight to behold.
What are you scheming in there?
An evil aura emanated from beyond the door.
At the same time, rays of light leaked through the cracks.
You screwed us through the divine realm. Time to return the favor.
Ullion grinned.
Return? You mean youre taking back control of New World?
Heh, you think we just destroyed a dimension? The whole process was to crumble the divine realm.
Since the divine realm was pressuring them, theyd draw their swords too.
Jeong Hoon glanced sideways at Tenebris.
Tenebriss face twisted, his eyes wide with horror.
Those filthy bastards. I didnt think theyd prepared to that extent.
Tenebris, are you watching?
Ullion said, looking at Jeong Hoon.
Ullion.
Tenebris muttered through gritted teeth.
Yeah. Youre watching. Were quite grateful to you.
What?
Most of the power we sealed and took from you. We saved it for today.
.
And now, adding the power sealed from Psyche, well seize the divine realm.
As Ullion finished speaking, the door slid open smoothly.
Dodge!
Janus shouted urgently, and Jeong Hoon instinctively crouched.
Boom!
In that instant, a deafening explosion assaulted his ears.
Error! Error!
System is being destroyed.
Along with the message that the system was destroyed, Ullions laughter rang out.
Kuhahaha! Hahaha!
Shut up already.
Crack!
Regaining his senses, Jeong Hoon slammed his sword down on Ullions head.
Haha Gurgh.
Only after crushing his skull did Ullion stop breathing.
My head hurts.
Jeong Hoon staggered to his feet.
The door, now wide open, revealed named bosses slowly emerging from within.
Logos, Harmageddon.
He fell in the end, huh?
Tch, but he held out this long, so he served his purpose.
Jeong Hoon gripped Titan and the Holy Sword tightly.
Even one Ullion had been tough.
Now facing two at once, he needed to focus even more.
Human! The demon realm has seized Earth!
Then, Uriels urgent voice rang in Jeong Hoons ears.
Seized.
Hed half-expected it, but his expression still hardened.
Heh, surprised?
Human, I acknowledge your skill. But you grew strong only thanks to our arrangements. Now well reclaim that power.
So thats why the system was destroyed.
Without the system, no more system buffs.
Meaning everyone on Earth became ordinary people without the system.
Cant let that happen.
Jeong Hoon set a new rule.
Neutralization
Neutralize their authority to protect the system.
System recovery beginning.
100 recovery impossible. Maximum 75 recovery possible.
But theyd prepared thoroughlyeven Januss power couldnt fully restore it.
Fine. Ill let you have the system.
Harmageddon smirked and shrugged.
You separated New World from reality while giving it realism inside. Low risk, high return.
Jeong Hoon glared silently at them.
Logos continued unfazed.
So we merged them back. Humans will wake in reality, and all transcendents, including Jecheon, will move to destroy Earth.
Ah That explosion earlierwas it sending the transcendents to Earth?
Hed felt something bursting out with the boom.
Something like that.
Damn, Earth was in danger.
Jeong Hoon signaled the angels outside while glaring at the two.
They were still struggling with Beelzebub and couldnt spare attention for Earth.
Beelzebubs holding up well, at least.
Of course. We took the light power.
The fabricated light power Ullion wielded.
They planned to use it to destroy Earth and conquer the divine realm.
Thats why its taking so long.
Trouble.
Zadkiels spy op had worked perfectly.
Hed thought they could wrap up Beelzebub quickly.
Oh, you know? The Jecheon have bits of light power too.
No one on Earth could match the Jecheon except Jeong Hoon.
If they arrived, itd collapse in seconds.
Master! Take these guys out first!
Yeah. Thatll stop the Jecheon!
As Mukho and Anima said, this was the best move.
Decision made, Jeong Hoon stepped forward with Supremacy of the Heavenly Demon.
