The Max Level Hero Has Returned!

Chapter 738

Chapter 738

Oatgars, the Malicious Spirit who had suffered severe injuries from Davey’s attack back in China, could not stop herself from shivering.

“Impossible... This is impossible...”

A one-sided slaughter—this was the perfect description of what had happened.

Although Oatgars had been sealed in slumber for a long time, she remained an object of fear. Hence, she firmly believed that no existence on earth could harm her. However, the human before her showed her how wrong she was.

Just recalling that human being was enough to make her shake and spiral into some sort of primal fear. She had never felt such terror before, not even when she participated in the Ancient Dragons’ Great Battle.

“No... No, that only happened because I had just been summoned back then.”

Wasn’t that the case with the stupid muscle-brained Antares too? If the summoning hadn’t weakened her, that human definitely couldn’t have beaten her.

Having seen his power several times, Oatgars deluded herself into thinking that she would never lose against that human again. She would never, ever lose, especially since that human couldn’t possibly grow much stronger in such a short period.

“Oatgars,” someone called.

Oatgars silently turned her head toward the voice, noticing that a presence had appeared in the distance.

“L-Lord Katshi!”

“Are you okay?”

Oatgars hurriedly bowed and arranged her limp tentacles until they looked neat. Then, she said, “O-Of course! All of my preparations are now complete. That man will never beat me again!”

“No. You’re still in danger. Do not forget—that horne is much stronger than any of the hornes we’ve dealt with in the past,” Katshi said.

“Why are you so afraid of him, Lord Katshi? No matter how you look at it, isn’t he just a horne? Once you and I regain our full power, then...”

“He is Freyja’s representative. It wouldn’t be strange if he’s got another trick up his sleeve.”

“Antares was only beaten because he was stupid,” Oatgars insisted, firm in her belief.

“Still, please be cautious. There are only a few of our kind left.”

“Hmph. If we don’t have enough people, we can just create more weaker members of our race. You don’t have to worry, Lord Katshi. He’ll never find out about this place or what’s in here. Even if he does somehow manage to find this place, he’ll never be strong enough to get in our way.”

“I am more worried about you, Oatgars.”

Oatgars squeezed a few tears out. She looked as if Katshi, who was currently in the form of a boy, had deeply moved her.

With hands clasped together as if in prayer, Oatgars revered him. “Aaaah... My ruler, my lord Katshi. I will always follow and serve you.”

Seeing her flushed face, Katshi quietly approached and gently embraced her head. Ne/w novel chapters are published at novelhall.com

“Aaah... My fellow kin. That horne is currently active in the east. His failure to grasp our location and true rankings presents us with an opportunity. Don’t worry, we’ll be done preparing all of the plans and tricks before he realizes it.”

Among the Malicious Spirits, Oatgars was ranked fourth, while Katshi was ranked first.

Soon, another high-ranking Malicious Spirit with an unidentified power appeared and bowed to Katshi. “Lord Katshi. The barrier you speak of has been completed.”

“Glad to have you here, Reusel. What was that human organization’s response?”

“They have told us that they would cooperate with the monsters and increase the number of mutants.”

“Good. However, do not forget that hornes can lie with a straight face. Be careful. I have something urgent to deal with, so I will leave this place to you two,” Katshi said. He then disappeared.

“Hmph. There’s no way a horne can find this place.”

Reusel, the other high-ranking Malicious Spirit, just remained quiet. Although he didn’t like her, he believed she was right.

Ping–

At that moment, a wavelength suddenly appeared within their area of detection. Oatgars immediately jumped up, instinctively sensing the approaching crisis. At the same time, several spears made of white light rained down and pierced through the ground they were standing on.

“Keugh! What is this?!”

“We’re under attack! How the hell did that bastard get here?!”

Although frightened, the two Malicious Spirits immediately unleashed their energy and prepared to counterattack.

The first to react was Reusel. Realizing who had launched the attack, Oatgars froze in fear, causing her to lag behind.

From Oatgars perspective, the air above her seemed to distort. However, she figured it wasn’t just caused by a mere refraction or reflection of light.

In truth, it was caused by cognitive distortion, a power under the energy system that intercepted the perception of beings weaker than its caster. This higher power defied common sense.

Bzzt, bzzt...

The distortion in the air disappeared, revealing a young man.

‘How the hell did he get here?!’

Looking down at them with a smirk was the hateful and frightening horne who had once almost killed Oatgars. Katshi had clearly told them that the man was in the East, completely unaware of their location, yet here he was!

Did Goddess Freyja tell him? No, that was impossible. Despite being a god, there were still things that even she could not do.

Boom!!!

“How dare you come to this place!!! I don’t know how you found us, but I will make sure to beat you to a pulp!!!”

Reusel charged toward the human, leaving the frightened Oatgars behind. Although similar to Antares, he was as strong as the third-rank Malicious Spirit.

His existence was basically one full level higher than Oatgars at her full strength. Not only did his high defensive power make him almost invincible, but he could also gather all of it and release it as an attack strong enough to be considered a disaster.

Nevertheless, with just a slight wave of the horne’s hand, all of Oatgars’ predictions were completely overturned.

“Keugh!”

The boy lightly threw a spear at Reusel, pinning him to the ground with blood dripping all over him. He didn’t even have the chance to scream.

[Masterpiece]

[No-named King]

Davey had once used this, the final sword technique of the Sword God, to defeat the demon world’s Battle God Balrog.

The same sword that had cut down Perserque—making her breathe her last— appeared once again. This time, Davey released it with his enlightenment and in a state where he had completely recovered his strength. Although he used the same technique, an entirely different sword shot forward and cut Reusel. Right after, it also cut the entire city in half.

“Urk?!”

Davey was rendered speechless upon discovering that he had only been able to inflict a severe injury on Reusel despite having already broken his defenses earlier. If his defenses were still intact, Davey figured some of his attacks would have been completely nullified.

Although Reusel’s power could be said to be weaker than Antares’ at his perfect state, Antares would definitely be no match against this guy when it came to defense.

Since his power was the complete opposite of Ares’ swordsmanship, which allowed one to trample on another and pressure them with force, Davey had no choice but to dig in and split him apart.

Gearing up for a third attack, the 82nd form of the Demonic Sword slowly formed in Davey’s hand.

[Demonic Sword]

[82nd Form of the Sword]

[Void Descent Sword Technique]

Shiiing... Bang!!!

The sword was not only powerful. It was also so sharp and penetrative that it managed to pierce through Reusel.

“Keugh!”

Reusel staggered backward. He then looked in disbelief at the blood spurting out of his chest. His durable body, despite being able to endure the blow of the Longsword, finally cracked.

As Reusel gathered and covered him with his power to heal his injuries, Davey kicked his legs and knocked him to the ground. Climbing on top, he placed his hand on the pit of his enemy’s stomach.

“Y-You bastard!!!”

“You’re really harshing my mellow here.”

Since Davey’s soul and body had been synchronized, he could not be nervous or anxious. If he were, then he would have lost the confidence to face those damn bastards he called teachers.

“Well then, shall we see how long you can endure?”

Any 9th Circle Magic was divided into three levels: Comprehension, Realization, and Transcendence. But now, Davey could infinitely release power that was beyond that.

[Odin-style Modified Magic]

[9th Circle Fireball]

[Solar System]

This was the basic foundational magic from which the reverse magic White Nova and countless other insane system structures were derived. This was also one of the specialties of Odin, the Atrellia Continent’s God of Magic. Davey believed it to be more than enough to take out Reusel.

A flame that looked like an extremely condensed sun instantly gathered in Davey’s hands. Then, it slowly engulfed Davey until he looked like a Spirit of Fire.

Reusel’s defenses were overwhelmingly powerful, and his vitality was beyond anyone’s imagination. He was even capable of holding out against Super Ribbon’s power.

However, if physical damage would not work, then Davey had no choice but to pile on abnormal statuses until his enemy died, right?

[Pyromaniac. Lend me your sword.]

Lavatein—the fire sword that could burn the whole world down and the sword that Fire Spirit King Ifrit handed to Spirit Queen Yuriana—slowly materialized in Davey’s hands. Since it didn’t truly belong to him, using it was putting quite a huge toll on his body. He couldn’t care less about it, though.

Reusel, who had finally understood the danger in front of him, tried to run away from Davey. Unfortunately for him, it was already too late—Davey had already sealed and blocked his movements by striking his acupoints. When did this happen? When Davey knocked him down and overpowered him, of course!

The flames of Lavatein and the power of Solar System, Odin’s magic, slowly fused inside Davey. At the same time, the flames in his hands began to grow stronger.

“This fire... Keheok?! W-What the hell?!”

The ultra-high heat of the flames pierced through Reusel, scorching him.

Davey took a short breath and stood up, leaving behind the Malicious Spirit who had collapsed.

Even though his body and soul had been synchronized, Davey still found it hard to replicate Odin’s magic.

“So you’re next, huh? Where did the other one go?”

Oatgars, the only Malicious Spirit left in the area, looked at Davey with fear.

“”

The surroundings remained silent.

“I never expected that you would find and reach this place.”

Feeling something with a horrifying momentum dart toward him, Davey twisted his body out of reflex.

Shwaaa–!

Just as he moved, an invisible and intangible blade passed by and cut Davey’s cheek before disappearing. At the same time, a black-haired little boy slowly appeared in front of Davey.

“As expected, you’ve become very powerful. You even completely overwhelmed Reusel without revealing all of your hidden cards.”

‘When did he get here?’ Davey wondered.

“I am Katshi, the king of Atlantis. I must treat you with respect and show you the courtesy that fits our statuses, no?”

The Malicious Spirit in front of Davey was unlike any other Malicious Spirit that he encountered before.

The terrifying and overwhelmingly heavy force of the strongest Malicious Spirit slowly spread and took control of the entire area.
