KUKUKU… KWA KWA KWA!!!

KWA KWA KWANG!!

The rain of steel was pouring down, but the military’s attack was meaningless. The monsters that poured out were the ones that didn’t even flinch with human weaponry. The hunters panicked by the wave of monsters that came bursting through the flames. The chronic response system was also a problem.

Their basic countermeasure was for the hunters to deal with the high-level monsters one by one. The problem was that it was not working at all now. The only monsters that were pouring out right now had no cares for gunpowder.

But they couldn’t really blame them…

In the first place, Monster Waves had to be defended with a large force and one could not hope for advanced warfare that would require highly skilled training for the undisciplined hunters. Moreover, the monsters that were pouring out now were just the beginning.

Fortunately, the size of the gate was not so big that the giant monsters had not yet appeared, but the numbers that have poured out so far were enough to annihilate the people who had gathered here. Goongi showing up at this moment was a lifesaver to them.

The barrier made of Titan dust, which was still blocking the gate, was not broken entirely.

That meant that the opening was not too big. Goongi opened her mouth toward that opening. A beam of red energy was then shot out, it was a breath that ripped them based on her myths.

As soon as the redness oozed out of her mouth, the monsters swept and melted away. For a moment, it blocked all the monsters that poured out.

Goongi didn’t end with that. Her hair seemed to stiffen on her body, and a blade of red force formed around her. They spilled out towards the gate and attacked the monsters.

CHYAAA! CHYAAA!

The monsters who were just getting out of the gate collapsed after being split in two.

Her power to cut everything had been materialized. The gate was blocked for an instant, but she wasn’t done yet. Goongi stared straight at the energy she felt of the Ruler.

Ruler did not move, she wondered if he could not move, but it did not matter.

KUKUKUKUKU!!!

Thousands of words appeared above her head. They united into one round circle then wiggled again to split into tens of smaller circles that were then stacked in front of her.

She had…

The greatest myth allowed by any god and was the legend of many people…

[The One Who Protects the West!]

The protruding hexagonal barrier began to drive the monsters away. The things stuck between the pouring monsters and the walls were turned into a mess. It’s not just the power to push, but the power of God. All things that it wanted to block were ruled out. It was then when the large monsters who were relatively comfortable to pass through the gate with their long bodies strapped into the wall and attacked Goongi.

However, this was also planned by Goongi. Goongi snatched it with her front paw threw it back to the gate.

The front of the gate was in a mess.

A monster smaller than Goongi, but of a considerable size, crushes the others down and trampled on it. Goongi kept throwing monsters in that way and as a result, the force pushing the gate was weakened.

“Attack!”

The Hunters also began to help Goongi and started attacking the monsters pouring down from the gate.

All distant projectiles flew towards the monsters.

KWA KWA! PEET PEET!

These weapons were made of monster carcasses provided by Invincible Palace, and were fatal to even high-ranking monsters. The military also began to pour out its weapons generously. When the palace was blocked from the front, hunters seemed to attack from behind.

But the monsters were also formidable…

CHH CHH CHH CHH!

The black light knocked on the barrier made by Goongi and each time, the barrier shook back. They were shot by the monsters with long dangling mouths, but it didn’t weaken Goongi even if it pushed her back a little. Goongi clenched her teeth and stared at a pouring spot of monsters.

She could feel the Ruler’s power continually amplifying…

He was standing still in it as if in admiration, and that’s when Goongi heard Ruler’s voice in her head.

‘You were the one hiding inside of him.’

‘Why didn’t you continue playing god there? Why did you come?’

‘Well, should I say I’m curious about this place where there are creatures like you?’

‘Curiosity is what brings disaster.’

‘Whoa, you think you can stop me?’

‘Don’t be so conceited. You’re only half of yourself here.’

‘That’s true.’

Ruler simply agreed with Goongi’s words. He was only half of himself. When the gods go over to another dimension, they would lose their divinity, but that’s only half true. Even now, the Dark Earth monsters that were pouring out from all over the world were replenishing his strength.

Ruler was now gathering his strength step by step.

He could have fought back at one go, but the more he waited, the more the time was on his side. Of course, it would be a turnaround when Jaehwang’s party in Dark Earth returned, but that time was also in Ruler’s calculations. If he could absorb a powerful creature, he could give Jaehwang a nightmare and now, that powerful being was in front of him.

‘I was the one who didn’t have anything.’

‘What bullshit are you saying now?’

‘I was born in the poorest body. I was always hungry.’

The black body began to wriggle.

‘What?’

‘So, I’ll have you for now.’

With his words, Ruler’s presence began to grow little by little. His mighty mana rose in waves and began to stretch out in all directions. The number of monsters pouring out had decreased as well…

No, that’s not it. It was pouring into a round sphere made in front of the gate. The sphere continued to grow. The hunters’ intensive attacks have poured in, but Ruler’s body had not responded to the point where the attacks seemed meaningless. Then, it grew into a giant sphere that easily crossed the gate.

And at one point, a huge force from the sphere began to hit all of its surroundings.

It absorbed everything around it as if the Dark Earth monsters that poured from its back were not enough.

“Get away!!” Goongi yelled at the hunters behind her, but they have not realized what was happening and scrambled around. The consequences were dire.

“Aghhh! I’m getting sucked in!”

“Grab something around at least!”

“No! Run!”

The sphere pulled everything around it, some hunters were absorbed into it.

‘Keke… Delicious. Great, lots of useful things.’

‘You crazy… pervert!!’

‘And you can also be part of me!’

‘Hell no!’

Enraged, Goongi opened her mouth widely towards his body. Then, she shot out a breath with god’s strength.

KUKUKUKUKUKUKUNG!!!!

But the sphere of the body even absorbed that breath. It ballooned even bigger and faster as if it just consumed a lot of energy.

‘What an attractive energy!’

CHYAAAA!!

Hundreds of black tentacles stretched out from the sphere and fired towards Goongi.

Stepping back and avoiding them, the tentacles again diverged and diverged, eventually becoming a huge curtain that mercilessly attacked Goongi. Goongi had a gut feeling that she should not defend.

“Hmph!”

She intended to block the entrance until Jaehwang came, but it seemed difficult. Originally, Jaehwang asked Goongi to track Ruler rather than to block him. Goongi realized she had made a mistake, he even had her on his plan.

The wave of pain hits her whole body when the tentacles touched her hind legs.

“KWAAAAA!”

With a scream and a whimper flying backward, Goongi hid behind where Ruler’s tentacles had grazed a little while ago.

It was painful. It was only a passing moment, but a considerable amount of her mana was sucked away.

‘I can feel your strength… Everything you have… Hu-Hu-Hu’

“Damn it.” Goongi stepped back slowly.

Ruler, who spoke greedily, began to slip away from the gate, however, she cannot rush in to attack. Her chances were bad, Goongi was specialized in direct attacks.

The problem was that her opponent should not be approached. It sucks everything around it. They have absorbed her long-range attacks, which means they lacked the means to attack her as well.

‘Hey. If you want to play in this world, why don’t you play the games in this place? Such perversion is not welcome here.’

‘Really? Well, I’d love to have some more fun, but I’m busy!’

CHYAAAAAA!!!!!

With his words, Ruler’s tentacles came out again. Goongi tried to buy some time by talking but Ruler did not give her any. The tentacles started to attack the hunters. Even with Goongi’s speed, it was hard for her to escape, so there was no chance for the hunters to survive. Ruler’s long tentacles absorbed hundreds of hunters at once.

“Get out of the way!”

“Go back!”

Hunters gave up the attack and tried to escape but hundreds fell dead at Ruler’s feet.

‘Chase them, my followers.’

A wave of monsters came out from behind Ruler, and they attacked the hunters and soldiers at an incredible speed.

“KRRRRRRR!”

“AGGHHH!!”

“SAVE ME!!”

Their screams rang all over the place. The monsters did not kill the hunters, they grabbed them and brought them back to Ruler.

The black sphere continued to grow, but Goongi had no time to take care of them. This was because the tentacles from Ruler’s body, which kept on swelling, chased her.

‘Be one with me calmly.’

‘Screw you!’

Goongi flew up into the sky, the tentacles could no longer follow her as she flew up far. The red mana began to flock like waves around Goongi’s body, who stopped in the sky. Goongi gathered all her strength; whether it works or not, this was the only way.

Shh….

An unusual feeling of energy dyed the heavens and earth.

The world was dyed red all over, these red energies continued to form around Goongi.

Goongi gathered all of her divinity into one point.

‘This is dangerous even for me… gather.’

Ruler transformed in order to defend from Goongi’s attack. The tentacles wrapped his body and started to transform. The rattling sphere began to harden, and a shiny hard shell had sprung up.

The monsters who escaped the gate to see if that was not enough also blocked Ruler in front of them.

And on top of it, all was Goongi’s Red Breath…

KYAAAAA!

KUKUKUKU…

The whole mountain vibrated. A powerful explosion created a wave of blinding light covered their surroundings. The hunters fleeing were blown away by the aftermath of the explosion. The various firearms left behind by the soldiers were swept into the air by the storm, and the trees were broken as the rocks rose.
