Chapter 118: The Devil’s Long Night (End)

TL: Nadu

Editor: Lesurous

Baltan and Arand’s fight didn’t seem like it was going to end easily .

They both showed ideal development beyond what Muyoung had expected and he was now seeing the results with his own two eyes .

‘Amazing . ’

Baltan was an undead and Arand was a dark elf .

They were both beings that were far from human but their growth speed was monstrous .

He thought only humans had infinite potential due to Solomon .

However, this wasn’t true .

Other species also had the same, perhaps even more, driving force .

Claaang!

Arand’s attacks were swift and sharp .

Baltan had sturdiness as his weapon .

Currently, Baltan seemed to have the upper hand .

It was a common belief for it to be difficult for lightness to win against heaviness .

However, the expectation was once again knocked down .

Whooosh!

The greatsword flew up high in the air .

And in time, was pierced on to the ground like a sealed sword .

“I won . ”

Arand made a smile .

Although his body was cut and bruised, he didn’t hide his joy at his victory .

He looked at his two hands that pierced through Baltan .

A warrior with no weapon couldn’t be an opponent against Arand .

“…”

Arand’s victory wasn’t expected from anyone .

The audience became silent .

Not a dokkaebi or a human but a dark elf .

It was a result that not one person welcomed but Arand didn’t care .

Thud!

As if he wanted Muyoung to quickly keep his promise, Arand straightened up in front of Muyoung before he kneeled one knee .

‘Certainly, Baltan was superior . Just that Arand’s ability to see his opponent’s openings was beyond what I imagined . ’

Baltan who was weaker than Seohan had achieved surprising development that surpassed Seohan in no time .

Just by this, it was a complete surprise but a figure who he had no thought of had appeared .

In a Lord’s point of view, this was absolutely not a bad situation .

And rather, it might have been better for Arand to win instead of Baltan .

Arand was the representative of the slaves of the arena and they were looked down on quite a bit from both the humans and dokkaebis of the entire territory .

Through this event, somewhat of a balance would be made .

“To the winner Arand, I will give him the position of ‘Banneret Knight’ . He can perform duties of a Commander and has the authority to lead up to 50 people . While I’m away, he will perform as lord deputy with Baltan . ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Arand’s eyes .

As if he didn’t have any interest in that sort of position .

As if they were burning, Arand’s eyes glared .

Muyoung inwardly thought it was ‘fun’ .

As Ogar said, would he be able to enjoy the festival?

“Heal Arand . As final entertainment, I will allow you to face me and my sword . ”

Swoosh!

Anguish cried in excitement .

Bae Sungmin went up and cured Arand’s injuries .

Although Bae Sungmin was a lich, he also had the ability to use saint skills .

Saints were rare, to where there was only one saint among ten thousand priests .

Saints were valuable talents that even in the Holy City Mulalan, there were only a few dozen saints .

Truly, saints only lived in Mulalan .

It was practically impossible to see them besides a specific period when the saints made their rounds .

And so, having a saint meant that the group didn’t yield against any guild or otherwise, and had an advantage .

Beeeeam!

Light surged all over Arand’s body .

With an incredible speed of recovery, the wounds were completely healed .

Skills or techniques weren’t needed . Just showering holy power was enough .

Strut!

Muyoung slowly walked up .

Arand got up as he made a dignified smile on his face .

No words were needed .

‘He has no plans on losing . ’

Muyoung chuckled .

Arand had no intention of losing the fight against Muyoung .

Classical eyes of a warrior!

Muyoung felt his blood pumping in a long time .

Muyoung never did anything roughly .

Even when he tried to catch a rabbit, Muyoung was the type to try his best .

Even more, Arand was a warrior . It was discourteous for him to fight by restricting himself .

And it was necessary to surely teach him who was at the bottom and the top .

‘Overwhelming . ’

That was needed .

Keeeeyaaaah!

A blazing dragon went around and around Muyoung’s entire body .

The audience who saw this were astonished .

It wasn’t made up of a simple form .

Although it was weak, there was truly a ‘dragon fear’ effect .

They could feel the soul of the dragon through their skin .

This strength didn’t exist before he left the territory .

“Did Oom… even conquer a dragon?!”

Seohan’s eyes widened as much they could .

His entire body shivered as he was deeply moved .

Only a few months . It was clear that he had dominated a dragon and had its soul in his hand .

Ogar was also surprised .

Dragons were much higher ranking species compared to fire tars .

It might have been possible if the opponent was a chieftain of the fire tars .

He never thought Muyoung would even gain that level of strength .

‘It seemed like only yesterday when he cured the Poom tree . ’

Ogar inwardly led out a sigh of relief .

At this speed, it was certain he would soon surpass the chieftain .

If at that time, they mistreated Muyoung, it was unknown how far the aftermath would have been .

Even if he did solve the chronic problem about the Poom tree, the stubborn elders were hesitant to give Muyoung a reward because he was a dokkaebi .

Even more, they certainly would have had thoughts of removing him by finding some fault in him .

Imagining a Muyoung who survives, develops his strength, and one day points a sword at him, made his fiery spine chill .

‘It would become a matter of the greatest regret . ’

He would have nothing to say if he annihilates everyone because they returned a kindness with ingratitude .

However, luckily, Ogar did everything he could to reward his efforts .

He used all kinds of precious herbs for Muyoung to go into metamorphosis .

“A dragon’s strength… it’s amazing . ”

Haaa!

Arand let out a strange sound .

It gave him chills .

All Muyoung did was show him his strength but he didn’t feel like he was going to win .

“If you don’t want to disappoint me, you will need to try even harder . ”

Muyoung spoke indifferently .

If what Arand had shown so far was all he had, he would have been disappointed .

Swoosh!

Tang!

Afterwards, Arand came right in front of him after leaving an afterimage .

He moved his daggers freely and approached to pressure Muyoung .

Clang!

Crash!

Arand was able to use powers of thunder and lighting .

He was truly as fast as lightning .

The dragon’s strength that allowed him to automatically attack and block wasn’t able to keep up with his speed .

Even so, Arand’s expression was gradually getting impatient .

‘None of my attacks are working . ’

He thought he would at least be a worthy opponent .

Although he saw the dragon’s strength, he didn’t believe he would greatly fall behind .

In reality, since he had subdued Seohan and Baltan who were under Muyoung, his level of confidence was so high that it could pierce through the sky .

However, after fighting him firsthand, he was able to understand .

Muyoung’s greatness .

Muyoung didn’t move a step from his original position .

On the other hand, Arand felt like he was going to get beaten if he was to reduce his speed even a bit, and so he couldn’t help but to restlessly move .

This also didn’t last long .

Muyoung raised Anguish .

Then, very slowly stretched out his sword .

‘A slow sword?’

Compared to Arand’s lightning speed, it was too slow .

It seemed like a piece of cake to avoid it .

However, was it because it was out of the recognition range?

At some point, Anguish broke Arand’s dagger, pierced through his chest, and crushed his bones .

Puuaaah!

And with the retraction of Anguish, blood gushed out from Arand’s chest at the same time .

Just one strike of a sword .

However, it was a method he couldn’t understand at all .

“H…ow…?”

“It’s my best sword . Endlessly think about it and fight fiercely . If there was something you learned, you will become much stronger than now . ”

Muyoung turned his body .

He didn’t use acceleration .

Just, he gathered all the enlightenment he learned so far and expressed it in a single strike of a sword .

This was Muyoung’s own way of ‘acknowledgment’ to the winner, Arand .

A>

-They respect their lord . As long as a strong Lord exists, they will not have a different heart .

-The level of Harmony is B . A decent level of harmony has been made with all the species .

-The level of Development is A . They have a strong desire to become stronger . If you provide them with a condition, they would grow faster than anyone else .

-The level of Satisfaction is B- . There are a lot of problems with cleanliness and residence . There is a need to fix the territory overall . >

* * *

The moment the festival ended, Muyoung implemented actions to strengthen the overall territory .

By combining the 1,000 dwarves and all the territory’s manpower, they built walls and hard buildings .

On top, by using about 1,000 lord points, Muyoung made a small temple .

Normally, you needed 2,000 Lord points to build a temple but you could add the general effects of a temple with just 1,000 points .

‘There is nothing bad about having a temple for the Devil’s Long Night . ’

The temple Muyoung built was a place where the god of dokkaebis, ‘Asura’ was served .

Although its size was small, Asura was an existence who was concerned with Muyoung and influenced him .

If anything, it would be beneficial and not harmful .

As expected, as he built the temple, additional effects existed .

The temple was truly worth the price .

As Asura’s Vassal changed to Asura’s Spokesperson, its rank also increased .

It seemed enough to prepare for the devils .

As the other species quickly developed and gained strength to resist, it created a situation where it would be worth his while to fight most devils .

On top of that, there was a chance for Asura’s blessing to continuously be added .

If that happened, he would need to increase the number of temples but this also would be solved at the same time as the Devil’s Long Night begins .

“Lord has built a temple for Hoom!”

“A-Oom! A-Hoom!”

“Aaaahh!”

The moment the temple was built, the dokkeabis cheered .

They sang and danced as they trembled .

They were able to serve both Oom and Hoom at one place .

Also, there was another extra effect .

“I have heard the sound of Hoom’s voice . Please accept us, the earth dokkeabis . ”

“Are you the Oom? Hoom told us to follow you . ”

After the temple was built, dokkaebis from all around swarmed in .

The numbers weren’t that many but it seemed like the effects of the temple spread quite far .

Most came by saying that they had come to this place by hearing the voice of Hoom .

Like the time when they gathered for the Oom’s ceremony, it seemed like there was some sort of a special signal .

Could ‘being on a roll’ be more of a fitting phrase than now?

Thanks to this, they could accelerate the development of the territory .

All other species quickly developed and became stronger day by day .

And as more time passed, additional information popped up .
