With a deadpan face, Spiera started explaining about the skill, 'Great Cosmos-severing Spear'.
[Great Cosmos-severing Spear is an advanced skill that I developed according to my personality and characteristics. You should have already learnt an advanced skill that is fit for you, so it will be very difficult to learn my skill as well. You could say that you've just fulfilled the bare minimum requirement.] (Spiera)
"I know that much. So how much do I need to train?"
[At least 4 hours a day, for two hundred years.] (Spiera)
"Fuu."
Yu IlHan hated himself for thinking 'that's not much' for a moment. Right now, time was flowing normally on Earth!
"What's the difference between that and mastering other weapons? I'd rather focus on my way of the spear instead."
[This is also a form of training in the spear. Whatever forms of the spear you have learnt, you can train this alongside it.] (Spiera)
Though, his heart did waver hearing that!
"But if it's that much, Earth may as well be past the 6th Great Cataclysm."
[Past 5th Great Cataclysm is already a higher world, IlHan. That's at the level where the Heaven's Army or the Destruction Demon Army reside in. With your power alone, you can't make Earth like that even if you die, so don't worry! Even if it's possible, Earth will be destroyed before that!] (Liera)
"That's sooo consoling, Liera. Thanks!"
[Ehehehe.] (Liera)
Yu IlHan and Liera exchanged smiles. Immediately after though, Liera's forehead was bruised with a smack from Yu IlHan.
[Damn, you've grown.] (Liera)
"Thanks to who."
Yu IlHan just poured some Breath for her to drink and asked while looking at Spiera.
"Oh right, can I even live that much longer?"
[If it's you, you should have a lifespan that's way beyond ordinary humans. It's also because of the evolution of your body after acquiring 3rd class... but just with the 'Unflowing time' you've experienced alone on Earth, your body should have been changed to something akin to a long-living race like those of elves.] (Spiera)
"That's something I heard for the first time?"
When Yu IlHan turned his face to look at Liera drinking, she turned her head away and spoke as if making an excuse.
[I was going to make you a higher existence anyway... It's nothing important anyway…..] (Liera)
"*Groan*."
He was sure from the fact that Liera avoided his gaze.
It wasn't like he couldn't think of the reasons. In the miraculous time he used to evolve and develop while his cells didn't age, and at the point he had acquired tremendous power disallowed for a human at level 1, he had realized that his physical body was no longer normal.
[However, if it's just that, I wouldn't have even suggested it to you.] (Spiera)
"You're talking about the Hourglass of Eternity, right?'
[Indeed.] (Spiera)
Spiera seriously nodded, but even if she did, there was a piece meat in her mouth anyway, so she didn't look serious at all.
[*Om…nom…nom…* If you focus on training using the hourglass of eternity, you should be able to shorten the time you take to acquire the skill. I'm expecting somewhere around 30 years.] (Spiera)
[IlHan should be faster though.] (Liera)
Retorted Liera, but Spiera only snorted.
[I'm not looking down on Yu IlHan's potential. Liera, you should know how difficult it is for one to learn an advanced skill when you have already learnt one of your own.] (Spiera)
[Hmph.] (Liera)
Liera turned her head away. Spiera also didn't say anything. She only looked at Yu IlHan.
He pondered for a moment, but eventually nodded.
"Yes, this should be a good opportunity. I did think I should train in the spear a little more."
He used Spear of Untraceable Trajectory splendidly until now. However, the skill level was still below 20, and he was feeling a little unsatisfied as well.
On top of that, he now couldn't acquire any experience from the majority of the monsters, so he was thinking about polishing his spear, and coincidentally, Spiera's suggestion came in. If that was related to the spear, then he had no reason to refuse.
[Then let's start immediately. It should serve as after-meal exercise.] (Spiera)
"No, before that."
Eating the last piece of meat, Yu IlHan declared with a serious face.
"Let me finish making some weapons first.
A few days passed after that. Fortunately, no connection with another world had occurred yet.
Vanguard's homepage had been renewed for the first time in 3 months. Selling higher quality weapons again! Also, the standard weapons increased in quality! Everyone who needed weapons rejoiced passionately after seeing that.
The next day of store opening attracted a huge crowd, and only his father, who was newly appointed as the shopkeeper of Vanguard's store no.1, suffered a lot.
Standard weapons were changed as soon as the stocked up items were sold out, and the higher weapons was planned to be sold 2 weeks later. The qualifications were simple: all clans that participated in the Dungeon Break in Korea, were given tickets.
[There are too many clans insulting you saying they didn't hear of anything like that?] (Erta)
"They're all lying so don't mind them."
Kang MiRae requested cooperation to many clans by using all of her connections. At least to all the clans that had the physical and financial power to obtain the higher weapons this time.
"And it was them who decided not to come. Do they think I'm some idiot?"
Yu IlHan snorted and put up the second notice. It wasn't only the clans that cooperated with this incident.
Like the proud 'strong friends' of Korea, Suppression, there was at least one government-operated ability user faction in each country. In the case of America, there were 3!
But last night, Kang MiRae used some method or another to deploy tens of different national forces of tens of different countries to hunt around in Seoul and pulled out the roots of the wolfkin belonging to the Destruction Demon Army. She really did have monstrous connections.
And Yu IlHan, who thought about increasing the number of forces on the scale of Suppression, thought that this was a good opportunity to arm the ability users of foreign countries as well.
He had an overflowing amount of materials anyway. If he saved them, they were nothing more than putting some more weight into his inventory. So, he didn't hold back.
[But this, did you consult with her?] (Erta)
"No, I'm going to do so now."
[...]
Koreans wouldn't welcome this for sure. They should have been thinking that Vanguard was giving special treatment to Lightning God and Suppression.
Even though the time was of great crisis where the fate of Earth was on the line, people were selfish and wanted all the rewards for their clans and themselves. This was the thought process Yu IlHan hated the most.
[Look at those comments man.] (Liera)
[I see you're at the center of attention of all people of Earth.] (Spiera)
"Dad is amazing."
Liera, Spiera, and Yumir were all checking the comments with their noses almost about to hit the monitor. Yumir was a dragon so his eyesight wouldn't really get worse, but since he was worried anyway, he pulled him and took him in his arm.
"Miss Kang MiRae has a wide vision. If there are any variables, then it's the possibility that the higher ups of Korea will not look at me in a good light….. but it will be fine if I just say I'll go off to another country if I don't feel it's good here, so things should work out."
Yu IlHan had nothing to fear in this world. He had solved everything with his own power from the very beginning! No matter how many changes occured in his surroundings, he himself would not change. Although, it was questionable if that could be called a good thing or not.
[You alone are supporting this twisted Earth.] (Spiera)
Looking at Yu IlHan's back while he was sending a message to Kang MiRae, Spiera muttered. She was really impressed right now.
Of course, Erta knew that Yu IlHan was strengthening the other people since he didn't want to suffer alone, but she decided to stay quiet for the time being. Spiera will know soon anyway.
[Then when are you planning to activate the barrier?]
"In 4 days, it will be a month since I've last used the barrier. At that time, the elves should also be finished dismantling. I'll probably activate the barrier then."
Having finished talking, Yu IlHan put away the wolf materials that the elves dismantled with a wave of his hand, and took out a new cadaver.
Dragonkin corpses had long since been dismantled, and right now, they were dismantling 2nd and 3rd class monsters! The elves had reached the state of thoughtless tranquility as they dismantled.
In this 'harsh training environment', their skill proficiency was rising rapidly. Perhaps, it was an influence of the Rule skill. Perhaps, he may be able to let them handle 4th class beings in the future too!
[Then it should be fine to commence training for real at that time.] (Spiera)
"Dad, me too! I want to train!"
"Yes, yes. I'll teach you a whole lot."
Without having him to talk about it, Yu IlHan let Liera and Erta take care of Yumir as they cleaned around nearby dungeons to level him up.
Of course, the speed couldn't be compared to the few nights before when he levelled up by killing 3rd classes, and so, his level was only just above 60, but it was a good opportunity to raise skill levels like concealment, and middle-tier wind magic, along with many others.
Now, he was required to avoid simple monster hunting, and needed to train on a deeper level. Skills didn't only increase just by using; they rose by the experience of using them along with enlightenment and training to acquire those insights! Like what Yu IlHan did in the thousand years!
It would be impossible to make his son suffer for a thousand years, but just by solidifying his foundations using the two months in the barrier, he would be at a level that would not be embarrassing for a dragon to have. No, in fact, he was already beyond that now.
He couldn't let the elves play around either. He wanted to strengthen them to the point where they could beat up the clan masters in the Front Line Alliance with room to spare. Although they could already do that, he wanted to strengthen them to be able to beat them up with more leisure!
Of course, the most important one was himself. He was planning not only to use up all the piled up materials to make equipment, but also to train in his spear techniques along with the learning the Great Cosmos-severing Spear.
To prepare for the past few days, he supported the elves in dismantling, and refined his physical combat, sword, blunt weapon, and whip movements.
Spiera tried her best to hide her shocked face each time Yu IlHan wielded each weapon, but she couldn't hide from Yu IlHan who had gained the dao into looking at other people's expressions.
"I didn't live long for nothing."
[You're long beyond what could be explained by 'time'. Perhaps 29 years are enough instead of 30.] (Spiera)
Such conversation was repeated for the past few days, and now it came down to 25. Yu IlHan's aim was to decrease that into 10 after he came out of the barrier.
At that moment, his phone rung. Yu IlHan let go of Mir and pressed the call button. Although Mir still clung onto his chest, that was of no problem.
"It's Yu IlHan."
[This is Kang MiRae.]
He hated himself for saying that despite knowing who the opponent is. He was only thankful that Kang MiRae answered him.
Having finished greeting, she naturally continued speaking.
[I've checked the Vanguard homepage. You've made a big decision.]
"They were all those I was planning to do anyway. Although it's quite strange to say this is a good opportunity, I could also have an easier time selecting targets to sell my weapons thanks to you gathering the people this time."
Kang MiRae was silent for a moment. She probably predicted the reason Yu IlHan opened Vanguard, Perhaps, her estimations had turned into confirmation right now.
[Mr. Yu IlHan really wants to just... protect Earth.]
"No, I only don't want to suffer alone. I should have told you last time."
[Pfffft.]
Yu IlHan replied honestly since he didn't want to get himself into a useless misunderstanding, but that only resulted in Kang MiRae bursting out into laughter. Kang MiRae became silent as if she couldn't believe it even though she had laughed, but eventually refined her voice and replied.
[Thank you. Even if Mr. Yu IlHan requests anything in compensation for the weapons, our cooperative relationship will only solidify more.]
"I'm happy to hear that I'm able to help. I thought the higher ups of Korea who only know about themselves would feel unsatisfied."
[...And so.]
"And so?"
Kang MiRae's voice trembled. The feeling that she was forced to this was quite strong.
[If it's alright with you, would you be able to free up some time?]
"I will. There's some information I want to exchange, and there are things I should tell you about."
[No, it's not that...]
Spoke Kang MiRae. Yu IlHan solidified after hearing that.
[My father... wants to meet you, Mr. Yu IlHan.]

200 years looks like nothing to him since he already lived for a thousand.
Will Kang MiRae's father come out intact and not Yu IlHan's nerves?

"Kang Chan." 1
"Yu IlHan."
Even while having a handshake with the man in front of him, Yu IlHan was confused as to why he had to be here.
The man who introduced himself was the father of Kang MiRae, Kang Chan. Kang HaJin, who sat next to him, had an expression that said he was sorry for this, but Kang HaJin wouldn't even know why Yu IlHan was feeling unwell here.
"I've heard about you a lot from MiRae."
"Ah, yes."
Heard about what? – or so Yu IlHan asked with his eyes while looking to his side.
Yes. Somehow, Kang MiRae was sitting next to him. In an obedient fashion he had never seen before. She was very stiff, and it looked like this place was very uncomfortable to her.
If the word 'uncomfortable' took human form, wouldn't it take the current Yu IlHan and Kang MiRae's form? – thought Yu IlHan as he turned his gaze back to Kang Chan.
Curiously, he had no memories of seeing this man. From what Kang MiRae was doing, it wouldn't be too surprising for her father to be the president himself, but the current president was a woman so leaving that aside, he thought that he may be the leader of the biggest company in Korea, or its successor at least, but all of that wasn't the case.
"Is there anything on my face?"
"No, as you were miss Kang MiRae's father, I thought you were a person I would recognize at a glance, but it surprised me since I couldn't."
At Yu IlHan's honest opinion, Kang Chan faintly smiled and replied.
"Mr. Yu IlHan. People with true wealth and authority do not show their faces on the surface. Once we do, things become very annoying with meddlesome flies everywhere."
It sounded true and relatable. Just as Yu IlHan was about to keep that in mind to use later, Kang Chan added.
"Of course, nowadays it doesn't really mean anything, though. As you know, a novel value that surpasses the previous values has appeared on Earth. Unfortunately, I had very little talent for this peculiarity, but fortunately, my son and daughter did. It's something that makes me proud as a father."
The form of authority was becoming different. Although it wasn't too apparent yet, there will definitely come a day when it would change so. Just looking at Yu IlHan, he would gain many things once he went on the surface.
Although, he had no need for such trivial things.
"That's why sir Yu IlHan's actions were impressive: Even though you are receiving more attention than anyone on this current Earth, you did not show yourself to anyone."
Of course, all that was possible due to…. thanks to the Concealment skill. Yu IlHan momentarily thought if it was an insult, but from his expression, it looked like that wasn't the case.
As such, he shrugged his shoulders and pointed towards Kang MiRae. He meant that he had shown himself to her. Kang Chan somehow understood that and asked politely with a smile.
"I'm only thankful. What is it that you like about MiRae?"
"She's kind and upright. Is there any other reason to trust another person?"
And as she had authoritative power, she helped out in various ways. However, there were many other who fit this criteria other than her, so Yu IlHan picked the ones that only applied to her. Kang Chan's smile got thicker.
"It makes me even happier since you have taken a liking to my daughter."
"Ah, yes, well..."
It wasn't like he took a liking to her, but he wasn't an idiot to say that out loud here. During the two's conversation, Kang MiRae's mental world collapsed as she covered her face with both her hands, and Kang HaJin was about to burst out laughing, but he was desperately holding back as he would be one the receiving end later if he did.
"I've received your graces. Whether it's about receiving the priority for receiving the highest-tier weapons of Vanguard and….. Oh, I heard you even had one custom-made."
"That's because she was the strongest among the humans I've seen at that time. It's has changed by much even now."
Only the super tanker, Michael Smithson, or Takagaki Asuha, with strong close-combat strength, or Carina Malatesta, who showed decisive long-ranged power using cooperative magic would be able to compare with her.
However, Yu IlHan was sure that Kang MiRae was the first in regards to skill proficiency. Oh, excluding Yu IlHan.
"And so, I judged that she would grow very fast with a suitable weapon. It's not due to any personal feelings but her potential that I've come to a judgement on."
"I see."
Kang Chan nodded as if he was more satisfied. Yu IlHan added that useless line at the end just in case Kang Chan had a misunderstanding but….. from his bland reaction, was it just his feeling?
"I'm also cheering for Vanguard. Personally, I think that Vanguard may as well be the key card to human salvation."
"You flatter me."
"Haha, the value of Vanguard will increase in the future. I guarantee it. Of course, for that, sir Yu IlHan needs to stay alive and well.
His eyes shined.
"Even if you do not want to be one, sir Yu IlHan is already at the center of Earth's defense. You should recognize your own value more correctly, and be careful; as you have become a standalone power that equals or even surpasses a country. Let's talk about this at a later time. I don't like to boast, but I should have some experience as a senior who walked this path before."
"Ah, yes, well."
The story suddenly strayed.
He was telling Yu IlHan to be careful? He was dumbfounded.
Bullshit 'careful'. If Yu IlHan was 'careful' with his actions until now, he wouldn't even be here. No, Earth would have long since become doomed and ended.
This person does not know anything. He doesn't even know what he doesn't know. That made the situation worse.
Thinking about how this man can talk such bullshit, it seemed that this man was thinking that the previous authorities and the ability-user authorities were the same.
Like how he hid himself and didn't surface, he thought that Yu IlHan should also hide and not come to the surface.
Isn't this guy a total idiot?
If he kept thinking like this, then there may come a day when he would have a big clash with his daughter.
Yu IlHan was proud for not swearing in that situation. As a result, he really wanted to leave this place and go home now. He took time to come here to give Kang MiRae face but this happens…
"Oh, and also, I heard you subordinated some monsters in a large scale dungeon."
"Ah...yes."
Huh? Look at this guy? Quite a nice finishing attack.
He felt his head was struck by a giant gong when he heard the word 'large scale dungeon' even though this guy should have heard that it was an Abandoned World.
'Doomed. This guy spent 10 years in another world and he's more clueless than me, a dropout. No, perhaps he does not understand the situation on this crazy Earth because the other world he went to was without much change.'
People born with golden spoons in their mouths are problematic because of this. They are only worried about protecting what's theirs, and do not know what to do to allow the general populace to proceed forward!
And what did he say last time? True wealth and authority do not come out to the surface? He should've realized then! His still-pertaining civilian mindset exploded into a rage.
'Let's calm down first. It may be my misconception, and it's not like all people think like this guy. Kang MiRae and Kang HaJin are believable people too. Good, calm, down...…'
While Yu IlHan was sharpening his blade, Kang Chan spoke.
"And so, I've thought of a small present for you..."
"Present?"
"How about land?
A question mark popped up on top of Yu IlHan's head. There's a limit to changing topics. What's that about land?..... he thought up to there when he realized and creased his brows.
"Do you mean the land that was wiped out due to the fight this time?"
"Indeed."
Said Kang Chan with a sneaky smile. 'You can't reject this!' – or so he said with his expression.
"To be honest with you, the value of that land is dropping very quickly. As you know, there's no real method to make the gate disappear completely. But since a large amount of monsters came out during his incident... Although sir Yu IlHan had subordinated them, the very fact that the gate is there is an element of worry for the people there, do you not think so?"
"It should be."
"However, let's say that sir Yu IlHan takes possession of that land. Sir Yu IlHan will then be able to call out the forces in the dungeon at any time, and become more free, and the people could feel safer. However, there's just one problem. There are people who call you 'Susanoo' and they might...."
Kang Chan creased his face at this point. Oh, so that's it. He doesn't like that name. This part, he was definitely Korean.
Yu IlHan understood his feelings. However, he didn't hate the nickname 'Susanoo' so much, and that was because that was the least embarrassing nickname people gave to him until now.
"Those people, may define your identity, and may bother you. Of course, we will do our best to sever the connection between the two, but there's no 100% in this world."
"That's true. There were many predictions that Susanoo was Korean even before, and if I become the landowner of a place nearby the gate..."
Yu IlHan thought while nodding, but his pondering didn't last long.
"If you give me land, I'll gladly take it."
"Will it be alright with you?"
"Yes. I think it will be alright now.
Kang Chan ended up laughing at Yu IlHan's words. He could feel a very natural and firm confidence from his words.
Kang Chan thought that it was a youthful ambition, but if he knew how much Yu IlHan undervalued himself normally, then he may think differently.
Yu IlHan was thinking that there were no problems in revealing his identity even with his power that he had 'undervalued'. So what would it be really like?
"Very well. I will let my daughter take care of it, so talk about it more with her later."
"Yes. It will also be more comfortable for me if you do that."
Despite Yu IlHan's honest attitude, Kang Chan only smiled brightly, and Kang HaJin tried his best to hold back his laughter by pinching his knee. Lastly, Kang MiRae saw that the relationship between Yu IlHan and Kang Chan was slightly off and sighed a little.
"However...."
Just as everyone thought that this was the end, Kang Chan suddenly changed tpics.
"I heard that you brought a child to the scene."
For a moment, Kang MiRae's ears twitched as she leaned towards Yu IlHan very slightly. She wasn't even aware of that action herself. And she thought to what Na YuNa was curious about with that child.
"Oh, yes."
"Is it... too rude for me to ask about that child?"
"He's a monster."
He couldn't say 'dragon'. But dragons were monsters anyway, it wasn't a lie.
"Whoa."
"Phew."
Yu IlHan's answer made a certain someone intake a sudden breath of air, and a certain other person sigh in relief. Kang Chan nodded with an 'aha!'.
"As expected. I thought so when you acquired the wolf army so easily, but is it really so."
"He's a child that follows me as a father. And that isn't exactly wrong, as my mana was consumed during his birth."
Yu IlHan's 'I never lied' skill successfully fooled the others.
"However, it's a monster you created by consuming your mana, yes?"
"Yeah, well. You should know if you heard, but he uses quite the strong magic at his figure. I have a lot of expectations for him as his growth rate is very fast."
"So that's it."
Kang Chan made a thick smile again. Seeing his bright smile that looked like his worries were just lifted, Yu IlHan realized that his worries were not wrong.
Is he trying to 'connect' him and Kang MiRae somehow? There was no way Kang MiRae would like him, and he himself didn't have any feelings about her that was more than a 'good impression'.
To hell with it. Kang MiRae should do well solving that misunderstanding. Yu IlHan decided to put away his useless worries there.
Coincidentally, Kang Chan also seemed to have judged that this was enough conversation and said this.
"Oh, I held you for such a long time. Even though you must be the busiest man on Earth."
"No, it's fine. Then I shall take my leave."
"It was an honor to meet our country's hero in person. Please take care of my daughter in the future as well."
"Ah, yes..."
With a deadpan feeling, Yu IlHan shook hands with him and stood up. As he met gazes with Kang MiRae who was staring at him, he nodded his head lightly to her as well. Today, he had a meeting with her as well. He had set a schedule with her in the afternoon as there were various things to talk about including Vanguard.
"Then see you in the afternoon."
"Yes."
Kang MiRae obediently lowered her head. However, her cheeks were lightly blushing. Everyone who knew about the Empress would be shocked when seeing this.
Yu IlHan left the room. In the room, only Kang Chan, Kang HaJin and Kang MiRae were left.
"Pffft."
And Kang HaJin finally burst out laughing.
"I'm sorry, father. It's, just.... pfffft."
"You're being rude, oppa."
Kang MiRae said to her brother. While glaring at him with murderous intentions without Kang Chan finding out.
Kang HaJin now started hiccup'ing. Seeing the siblings fight, Kang Chan just laughed and spoke to Kang MiRae in a quiet voice.
"Grab onto him and don't let him go."
Even an elementary schooler would know what that meant.
"Father, I've kept saying this before as well, but I have no relations with Mr. Yu IlHan whatsoever. It will be rude even if we set it just by ourselves, and moreover, I'm only 20 years old." 2
"What I mean is, to grab him before another girl gets him."
Kang MiRae's face reddened a lot. She shouted in a loud voice to the point that it was unbelievable if this was the same her as the one who sat obediently moments before.
"Even if I do develop into another kind of relationship with Mr. Yu IlHan. you will not influence my actions and judgement, father!"
Like she resolved in the past, she was planning to acquire Yu IlHan using herself as the compensation after raising her own value.
Although Yu IlHan's value was skyrocketing real-time, but she had no intentions on giving up. She thought that there were no other man at the same level of Yu IlHan in the world right now.
And the one who found and acknowledged that value first was not Kang Chan, but Kang MiRae herself. Kang MiRae couldn't endure the fact that Kang Chan was speaking as if he knew the value of Yu IlHan better than her.
Kang Chan had not seen the Yu IlHan at the beginning stages of the Great Cataclysm, neither at the time he hunted the black leopard, nor had he seen that beautiful attack from the sky at the day of the killing of the Orochi, and did not see the charisma that ruled the wolf group.
"Bullshit influence. I only gave some pointers to my daughter who has such a late first love."
As such, her father's unexpected ambush made her panic. Kang MiRae asked back while stuttering, which was not like her.
"What.... To think that such a father now talks about empty feelings like love."
"Do you think feelings are something that can be hidden? I was also having a hard time holding back my laughter too. You looked like you were totally smitten with him. How long are you going to hold back?"
"There's no way, I.... If you have felt that I have feelings for him, then it's a form of admiration! He always moves for another and not for himself, and he's stronger than anything. He's a rare person that has both the mindset and the power. I only thought that I have a lot of things to learn fr-"
"It's alright."
Kang Chan interrupted her. Kang MiRae's 'excuse' had instead convinced him more.
"I definitely said enough. Now it's not my problem even if you come crying to me because Na YuNa stole him."
"Just who will come crying...!'
She tried to ignore her father's foolish words, but her face was very stiff. Na YuNa was definitely beautiful, and had feelings for Yu IlHan.
Of course, she would never know that the true enemy was not a 'mere' Na YuNa.
If Yu IlHan showed up one day with Na YuNa in his arms, then how would she feel? She momentarily imagined that scenario and felt bad, but she shook her head.
She does not move on her emotions. The relationship with Yu IlHan were trading partners until the very end!
"There won't be anything like that. There's no way he would go over to a childish girl like YuNa, and I have never felt something like love or other equivalent emotions! I will take my leave now!"
Kang MiRae smacked on the table and left the room. When the father and son were left alone, they exchanged glances and smirked. This was only possible as they knew each other's thinking.
"If MiRae combines with sir Yu IlHan, then I'll be perfect in regards to force. HaJin, it will be your turn from then on."
"Leave it to me, father. The Great Cataclysm shall bring us to the very top."
The father and son smirked. Here were the figures of foolish and delusional father and son.
Author's notes
(Untranslatable korean idiom)
A spiral of misunderstanding and delusions.
In fact, that land is quite difficult to handle. It's not worth any money, and it isn't like they can sell it either. That land going over to Yu IlHan's hands should be the best ending!

Unlike the delusional old man, the meeting with Kang MiRae and the conversation, went very smoothly.
Yu IlHan talked briefly about what happened to him for a while, and she also talked about what had happened in the 3 months he was gone, so there was really nothing much to talk about.
The scheduled place was naturally, the 14th floor of Vanguard, which no one could enter and exit as they please, Fortunately, today was a meeting between just the two of them, without the annoying Na YuNa. There was no one to comment on the side, and as both of them were bad with relationships, they skipped all the trivial greetings and conversation and went straight to the topic.
"Destruction Demon Army, you say."
"You should have heard about Transcender factions from Na YuNa's Guardian Angel, right?"
"To a certain extent, yes... So the number of things I should mind about is increasing. Although it's a good thing that I will never have to go against a higher existence directly.... phew."
When Kang MiRae sighed, Yu IlHan ended up laughing. It seemed that Kang MiRae became comfortable enough to sigh in front of him. She also realized that immediately and changed expressions.
"Sorry, please excuse myself."
"Not at all. Anyone would sigh hearing that."
"Pah, fuu."
"Mir, be careful since your sigh may end up becoming a gale."
Yumir was also at that place, in Yu IlHan's arms.
Kang MiRae stared at Yumir for a moment due to the similarities between the father and son, before shaking her head and changing topics.
"Although I can't say nothing happened on Earth.... There's nothing that Mr. Yu IlHan would be surprised about. A few of the small countries collapsed, land became sea, nothing too serious. If you want the materials I-"
"Give me!"
"Give me!"
That was plenty surprising! And Yumir should really fix his habit of trying to copy his father.
"We couldn't focus on every matter as there were too many monster appearances. Although it's fortunate that there were no stronger monsters than the one that appeared in the Kantou incident, the quantity of incidents increased explosively."
"It seems that's the case from how strong the people got. You included, miss Kang MiRae."
"Pretty noona strong! Strong and kind."
Kang MiRae felt proud for a moment hearing Yu IlHan's and Yumir's praises before becoming dejected again. Only Yu IlHan would be able to give her such complex feelings on Earth. With confounding thoughts in her mind, she changed the topic once again.
"Next, it's about the land that father talked about. The estimated statistics are already out, but I don't think I will be able to do this as fast as the time we traded this building. There are too many people involved in this."
"Take it slowly. It's nothing urgent."
"Yes, thank you for your understanding. First, I will give you the documents related to it as soon as I finish compiling them. Then..."
Kang MiRae closed her mouth. She had now finished saying everything she wanted to. As Yu IlHan had already talked to her about Vanguard, the conversation would end here. Truly neat.
However, why did she feel that he was aloof even though he was at such a young age?
Oh yeah, she thought of something to say. Kang MiRae licked her lips before speaking.
"The thing that father talked about, you don't need to mind. It seems he got a little greedy after seeing how exceptional you are."
"I'm alright. I'm instead worried that you may feel down because of it, miss Kang MiRae."
"I..."
Kang MiRae was about to speak something, but she decided not to. Thinking about her father's annoying face, she was afraid that anything she said would contain a strange meaning behind it.
Organizing what to say in her head, she opened her mouth again.
"I'm, also alright. Whether it's father's pranks... or teases, I'm used to them."
"....You must have a hard life."
"Noona, are you hurt somewhere? Should I fix you?"
Yumir figure asking with glittering eyes while leaning forward a little like Yu IlHan was truly cute, so Kang MiRae extended her hand to pat Yumir's head despite the fact that Yu IlHan was watching.
"I'm not hurt. But thanks for worrying about me."
"Kind noona. I'm hungry."
It was a child's privilege to sound cute despite saying two completely unrelated lines. Yu IlHan laughed and held him up high.
"Yes, daddy's talk is over so let's go eat now. I'll take my leave since my child is hungry."
"W, wait!"
At that moment, Kang MiRae stopped Yu IlHan with a shout. Both Yu IlHan and Yumir had widened eyes as they turned back. However, the one who was the most surprised was Kang MiRae herself; she didn't even know why she stopped them either.
Now that she had stopped them, she had to say something. However, just as she was about to think about what to say, Na YuNa's face popped up, and her mouth opened automatically.
"I, think that we've made a good relation with each other as colleagues. That is, as colleagues that fight against monsters. From the beginning of the Great Cataclysm, it's been over half a year."
"Yeah, well... I also think that way."
Yu IlHan couldn't understand where she was going, but her words itself was very reasonable.
There were a lot of situations where they had to meet each other, and he had made the first-ever party in his life with her, and even traded a lot with her clan, so at this point, it was no different from an alliance.
There was no need for Kang MiRae to confirm that. At this point, they were considered colleagues.
Right? I can think that since she called that first, right? – thought Yu IlHan, who hated to leave behind any embarrassment for himself or discomfort for others by measuring the distance between them on his own.
However, Kang MiRae's words were just the beginning.
"However, if... we address each other so stiffly (formally), I think it may be a little uncomfortable."
"By 'address', you mean...?"
As if having waited for it, she spoke very naturally and smoothly.
"I feel we are distant for nothing by addressing each other with surnames. There will be many more cases where we will fight together in the future, and as such I think we could swap to a friendlier term. Not to show it off to someone else, but as colleagues. Isn't it fine to allow that? It will also be easier to communicate in battles that way too."
Yu IlHan finally understood. So she meant they should call each other without surnames? Even though it hasn't been 'a year' since they met! Social butterflies had a really fearsome communication method!
However, honestly, he felt quite, no, really happy. There was no one other than his parents and Liera that called him without his surname.
'Colleague. That's a word I haven't used before.'
Was there anyone in the world who became a loner because they wanted to be? 1 Of course, there are moments when someone wants to be alone when they live busily with many people around them, but no one would want to be alone for life.
Rather, Yu IlHan was a special case since he had lived alone for all his life. It could be considered a Yu IlHan(unique) case.
However, that was until today. Here was a person who thought of Yu IlHan as her colleague.
The existence of people who had good impressions of him beyond the question of believe or not believe, was a truly thankful matter to him.
Of course, Yu IlHan wasn't a loner for nothing, and would hate it if a stranger or a person he hated, called him without his surname, but on that side, Kang MiRae passed with flying colors.
"That's good. If so... Should I call you miss MiRae from now on?"
"Yes, Mr. IlHan. Please take care of me in the future."
Kang MiRae's expression was vividly brighter as she replied to Yu IlHan. Fuu, he was worried that everything would be just greetings until the end, but that was just him!
Yu IlHan grabbed her extended hand and gently smiled. It was a smile from the bottom of his heart.
"Miss MiRae gives me something new every time. I'm thankful."
Hearing that, Kang MiRae's heart thumped loudly once.
Yu IlHan's sudden ambush! As expected of a Deathgod, despite not being in concealment. The problem was that the person in question wasn't aware of it.
"That goes for me too. So, uh, yeah. I also learned a lot thanks to Mr. IlHan. If, you'll please, uh, excuse me."
Panicking due to Yu IlHan's unexpected ambush, she stuttered a little while replying and entered the elevator without even looking back. However, Yu IlHan, who felt satisfied for acquiring another ally that he could call by name, he didn't mind about that.
"Well, then. Let's go eat."
"That noona is pretty!"
"Compared to Liera, who's prettier?"
"Liera-noona!"
Chatting loudly, the father and son left the room. Meanwhile, Kang MiRae, who was inside the elevator heading for 1st floor, was muttering in a small voice while putting her fist on her chest.
"I've got him first. This is fine."
Then blushed while thinking about Yu IlHan's previous words, before shaking her head again.
"Trade, this is a grade. A trade of each other's lives.... Emotions are just misunderstandings. The 'emotion' I have is only admiration, and love is only my misunderstanding... the heart beats are only because of arrhythmia...."
Her soliloquy was good enough to make a song, but the person herself was very serious. However, there was no one around her to fix her misunderstanding. Even if there was, it wouldn't really have help out that much.
Four days passed since then. Yumir levelled up to 65 during that time, and the elves raised their dismantling skills to level 65. Additionally, Phiria was just past level 76 for dismantling so she was ready to have a go at a 4th class remains.
"It's finally over."
"It really over?"
"Aah, His Majesty is truly amazing. Now that I've been enlightened on dismantling, I fear nothing!"
"Jirl, you aren't enlightened."
Underground workshop. Yu IlHan confirmed that there were no monster corpses in his bag after rummaging through his inventory.
Of course, he had long since dismantled the 4th class wolves. He had acquired 6 bodies, but only one produced a magic stone. Well, it was still a higher percentage than dragons.
There was a corpse inside his inventory, but that was Yumir's mother, Lecidna. Yu IlHan was planning to cremate her when Yumir's matured a little more
"You guys worked hard until now."
"Not at all, Your Majesty. If you give us more work, then we'd gladly-!"
"It's fine, just rest a little first. I'm going to activate the barrier as soon as I'm ready."
"Yes!"
Yu IlHan put dragon meat and wolf meat in the bucket that was filled with 3rd class dragon blood. As he was about to be fed up with dragon meat, he was now trying a variation.
He had no confidence in succeeding, but there was plenty of time. Yu IlHan was sure that his recipes would increase if he tried changing the blood, and changing the meat, and a combination of the two.
"That looks delicious."
Yumir was drooling in Liera's arms as he looked at the bucket. They haven't told him that it was dragon meat in the bucket. As such, Yu IlHan planned to not take out any of the meat during the two months. Dragonkin were well.... they should be fine.
"If the recipe solidifies, then I'll give you meat until your stomach bursts."
"Yeah!"
[This really is a workshop of chaos. Can't you at least put away that bucket?] (Spiera)
"No, this is the most important."
Rejecting Spiera's request, Yu IlHan pushed the bucket aside after filling it with blood and meat, and took out a truly humongous piece of metal on the other side.
That item was the tool used to train Great Cosmos-severing Spear. Spiera was naggy about where to place that blob of metal, and even interrupted in schedule planning.
[You need to train in the spear for at least 24 hours.] (Spiera)
"I get it already."
Next, he polished his metalworking tools including the anvil and the hammer, and fed a few 2nd class magic stones lying around in his inventory to give it more power. Continuing, he confirmed the information on what kind of equipments he had to make within the barrier by reading through the Vanguard homepage, and the preparations were finally done.
"That's it right? Did I miss anything?"
[Wait, Yu IlHan. Someone is trying to enter the workshop.] (Erta)
Was Erta's report. Just who when not anyone could enter the underground workshop? Yu IlHan retorted.
"You just need to chase them out."
[But… they are recognized at as allies...?] (Erta)
While the angels and the human tilted their heads, the door to the workshop opened and someone came in.
Long curly, black hair and wolf ears that twitched between them. A glamorous body that was contrasting to the young-looking face. It was none other than Ericia.
"Master, I've returned after settling everything I had to do. I will now serve you by your side in the future."
Her timing was truly perfect as if she had predicted that they were going to activate the barrier now! Does this girlie have a prophecy skill too?
Yu IlHan narrowed his eyes momentarily while thinking nonsensical stuff like that, but he ended up laughing anyway.
"Ok, that isn't bad."
"Isn't what?"
Ericia tilted her head in confusion, but Yu IlHan didn't mind her and activated the hourglass.
For two months, she would experience it herself.
Author's notes
I, stopped time...! (Yu IlHan to the confused Ericia) (T/N: Apparently, a JoJo ref)
Heart thumping is due to arrhythmia : (T/N: Uhh, a Kampfer ref apparently)
It's a historical moment. IlHan finally acquired a 'human' ally… T^T. I can only say that the plot has largely advanced forward! Although it's unknown if Kang MiRae is also thinking of him as just an ally, but anyway, in IlHan's view, it is like that.
What was that? Don't all Koreans refer to each other with just the first names within an hour after meeting a stranger? Uhh, in fact, I still call an uncomfortable seonbae with their full name…. No, I'm not a loner!

[Their power level should be around equal, I guess.] (Liera)
[But I still think Mir is the strongest.] (Erta)
[Well, it's our Mir after all.] (Liera)
Four elves, Yumir, and the latecomer, Ericia, for a total of 6. Looking at Yu IlHan's subordinates, Liera and Erta began to seriously judged their levels of strength.
Of course, it was an objective judgement without the bias towards Mir due to their affection for him. Well, at least, the people in question thought so.
[I think you know very well why you have entered this place.] (Liera)
Declared Liera while putting the red hat that Yu IlHan made on her blond hair. As she had shown herself, the elves and Ericia could also see her – the angel of brilliant beauty.
"I... honestly don't understand. What I know is that this place is similar to a blacksmith's workshop, and that some strange magic had activated just now."
Said Ericia. Well, Yu IlHan did activate the hourglass without any explanations so it was reasonable that she was doubtful. However, Liera seriously nodded and replied.
[I also can't be bothered to explain it so find out yourself later. Or just understand through the context.] (Liera)
That was one irresponsible teaching assistant!
[Anyway, from now, you will undergo battle training under my orders. You are still too weak right now! If you don't want to drag down IlHan, then just follow obediently.] (Liera)
"Just what are you to do such things":
As if having expected that question, Liera spoke proudly.
[You can consider me IlHan's master. Although it's only in regards to spear and physical combat, I'm at least better than you guys in the sword and archery.] (Liera)
[She's the living proof of the disciple surpassing the master.] (Erta)
[Eii!] (Liera)
[Kahak!] (Erta)
When Liera heard Erta's natural counterattack, she flying-knee-kicked Erta on her feeble waist and unleashed a chain combo to make her roll around on the ground in pain.
This just took 7 seconds! Angel combos were scary.
"You really are a master of physical combat."
"The master of His Majesty... I will follow you."
[I didn't want to prove that.... with my body...!] (Erta)
"Are you alright, noona?"
Erta muttered while clenching her teeth but no one listened to her. Only Yumir, who would learn magic from her, patted her on the back.
[You should know how unstable Earth is as you've experienced your worlds connecting to this world, right? IlHan is fighting on the frontmost lines in such a world. As such, as his underlings, you are nowhere near close enough to become his power. You should at least set your goal as mastering a martial art before acquiring 3rd class, got it?] (Spiera)
"Yes, ma'am!"
While everyone replied in a loud voice, only Erta, who was still grabbing onto her waist, muttered while narrowing her eyes.
[Even you only mastered two of them in the long years you lived....] (Erta)
[Then we'll start now! I'll first have a look at your levels so come at me all at once!] (Liera)
The group hesitated even after hearing that, but they could only change their minds in order to survive when Liera started 'conversing' with her fists.
[This place is open!] (Liera)
"Ugh!"
"Sh, she's coming! She's coming here!'
[Resist a little more!] (Liera)
While angels, wolfkin, and a dragon were having a nice bloody training, Yu IlHan on one side was in the process of making artifacts. And Spiera was watching it.
"You should teach them too. You've even mastered the sword, no?"
[My methods are too violent, so it will be recognized as attacks to them. If that happens, then I'll be banished from Heaven.] (Spiera)
"And me?"
[It is not like you need real life battle practice, but a practice to learn an advanced technique. Moreover, your league is completely different from other lower existences.] (Spiera)
He was slightly happy that Spiera acknowledged him, at the same time as he was feeling a little angry since he thought that she was looking down on those he got close to (excluding Ericia), but Yu IlHan didn't say anything much and just kept hammering away. To use 2 months fully, there was no time to rest.
[It really is an amazing technique. Just how can items of such quality come out in such a quick time... Oh, he's not listening is he.] (Spiera)
Yu IlHan was using up all his materials he got from higher levelled 2nd class monsters, and lower levelled 3rd class monsters in order to make new 'standard-tier' weapons of Vanguard. Considering how the first generation 'standard-tier' weapons were made from 1st class monster materials, this was an absurd change.
Exaggerating a little, equipments that even the people of the Front Line Alliance could use were being completed every two minutes right now. The speed even accelerated as time went past.
As his actions made the people watching doubt of the completed items' qualities, Spiera purposely took up a completed sword and checked its information.
[Blood-calling Wolf tooth sword]
[Rank – Rare]
[Attack Power – 3,200]
[Durability – 2,500/2,500]
[Option – it becomes easier to make the enemies bleed.]
[A rare rank for something he made in two minutes huh…] (Spiera)
Just in case, she checked out each one of the equipments that Yu IlHan made since coming into this barrier, but her predictions were completely correct. All products were rare ranked or above.
Perhaps it was because of the fact that there was an absurd person on Earth that various insane happenings occurred on Earth, or so Spiera seriously considered as she watched over him.
Due to focusing on production so much, Yu IlHan wasn't even conscious of the fact that Spiera's gaze was on him as he kept refining metal.
Clang, clang ,clang.
Eternal Flame danced according to the beat of the hammer's clang. It was a scene not far from what was depicted in myths.
Yu IlHan's serious working figure was extremely beautiful. Spiera personally had no interest in men, but she judged that Yu IlHan's working figure was worth appreciating as a work of art.
[You really are sufficient to shake the hearts of higher existences. It's no different from watching a miracle....] (Spiera)
Muttering, Spiera looked at the busy Liera and Erta.
Although they themselves might not be aware, they got to have more emotions and even developed faster after meeting Yu IlHan.
If it was that they became like that because of the characteristics of Earth, it would be wrong since other angels dispatched to Earth were no different from before. If so, the only remaining element is Yu IlHan, who came in contact with them.
The reason Spiera volunteered to be Yu IlHan's partner was to find out the reason behind it as well.
For now, she was only worried about one thing. She also wanted to become stronger like Liera and Erta who advanced very quickly, but she wondered if it was enough to just stay close to Yu IlHan.
[*Groan*, there's nothing I can do for now, so I can only watch.] (Spiera)
Spiera gazed at Yu IlHan again. Yu IlHan was currently in the process of sharpening a wolf's bone.
And only after 12 hours Yu IlHan worked like that did he let go of his hammer. Over 600 equipments were proving that his metalworking skills were at the level of a legend.
Spiera asked after looking at Yu IlHan putting away all his equipments.
[So you are finally commencing training!] (Spiera)
"No, I need to check the bucket."
[That damn bucket!] (Spiera)
She was noisy for someone who enjoyed dragon meat and Breath. Yu IlHan snorted and checked the condition of the meat and wine in the bucket.
dragonkin meat was fantastically matured with their poison removed akin to that of dragon meat, but unfortunately, wolf meat weren't like that. Although the quality of their meat did become better, their poisonous aura was enough to be used as weapons.
Was there an error in the dragonkin blood? Or if it's not that, did he have to use another liquid and not blood? This was research material.
"Ooh, the wine looks quite steady though."
Of course, the level of it was way lower than Breath made with dragon blood, with almost no recovering power and no rest energy.
However, it was tasty! And also, it smelled of sweet fruits that was different from Breath. That's strange!
"Huh, wait, why does it taste like this?"
"I put apples in it!"
Confessed Yumir who was resting after the training. Alcoholic drinks made of apple and meat were unheard and unseen of, but thinking about the characteristics of the bucket, it didn't sound too impossible. Well, it did succeed like this.
This was a great find. Possible recipes could be expanded now.
But where did that apple come from? Realizing Yu IlHan's doubts, Erta who was right next to Yumir, explained in kindness.
[We were researching into summoning magic and…] (Erta)
"So there's such magic too."
Laughed Yu IlHan as he patted Yumir.
He was patting, but he froze.
"An apple? Inside the barrier?"
[That's true, it seems it's possible. It's also the first time for me to research into the hourglass of Eternity so I didn't know.] (Erta)
Over hundred apples were floating around in the bucket. From Erta's explanations, it seemed like he summoned it from a store nearby.
In other words, it was stealing.
[Mir can only summon what he has directly seen before. I told him to summon anything small, and he summoned a bunch of apples he saw in the market….] (Erta)
"Apples are tasty!"
"And it's me who will pay for all this... Although it's alright since the wine got better."
Yu IlHan grumbled as he took out an apple from the bucket and checked it.
Although it looked fine on the outside, unlike the meat, it couldn't endure dragonkin blood as the innards were a mess. It was a poisonous apple people wouldn't be able to eat without poison resistance.
However, what was important right now was not a mere poisonous apple.
"So it's actually possible to call in something from outside the barrier when it's activated?"
[But that doesn't really have any meaning. Summoning magic doesn't have any real uses. it only calls in items. And it's a completely different matter with summoning elemental spirits.] (Erta)
"Then is it possible to send items outside as well?"
"I can do it!"
Brightly Smiled Yumir as he pointed towards the poisonous apple, and the apple disappeared.
Yu IlHan smiled faintly as he asked.
"Where did you send it?"
"Where it was before!"
"Mir is kind, right? Please summon that apple back immediately."
If the barrier was suddenly dispelled, then they might actually succeed with a perfect crime!
Yumir immediately summoned the same apple hearing Yu IlHan's words. It was definitely the same poisonous apple.
"Fuu, my kid was about to achieve one kill with humans."
[It really has no uses.] (Erta)
"It does."
Said Yu IlHan, while pointing at the fruit wine made of 3rd class dragonkin blood that emitted a faint apple fragrance.
"It's the number one contributor in making various wine for the next two months!'
[And you said things for stealing just now!?] (Erta)
Well, he could just pay for the fruits after the barrier time was over. In the exact same method they took and sent the apples!
"Dad, did I do good?"
"Of course, of course. Should we increase the variation on summoning magic a little?"
"Yeah!"
Yumir's mistakes would be recorded as a great find in the future… probably. Looking forward to such a day, Yu IlHan took out a goblet from his inventory and put it inside the bucket and....
[Let's! Train!] (Spiera)
...was dragged by Spiera and was thrown onto the giant blob of metal. Even while being dragged, he grumbled while emptying the goblet without dropping a single droplet with his incredible sense of balance.
"If you get annoyed so much, then I'm not giving you that wine."
[...It's not that I got annoyed. I was only doubtful of your passion to learn my spear.] (Spiera)
So she wanted to drink huh. Yu IlHan laughed as he threw away the goblet, although, it was collected into the inventory just before reaching the ground. What replaced the goblet was a wooden spear for training.
[Great Cosmos-severing Spear is hard to train with too good of a weapon.] (Spiera)
"No, I like wooden spears too."
Of course, it was the truth that weapons with higher attack powers were better, but that only applied to cases where he had to battle strong enemies.
As he had to train using spears he made with tree branches in the past, he felt more familiar with it as well.
When Yu IlHan took form with his wooden spear in hand, Spiera nodded with a very satisfied expression.
[You really have the foundation of a warrior.] (Spiera)
"And so? What do I need to do in order to learn that technique that gives me the shivers just by listening to its name? Do I need to break this lump of metal with this wooden spear or something?"
Of course, the reason why he got the shivers just by listening to its name was because it was embarrassing, but Spiera seemed to have taken that as a compliment as she said this with a bright expression.
[The Great Cosmos-severing Spear is a spear art to imbue a power to slash apart the cosmos with a single slash. The sharpness of a sword, the weight of a blunt weapon, the speed of a whip; you need to imbue the characteristics of these three weapons into the spear with the help of your body that's trained to the extreme. That is why you need to master all five skills.] (Spiera)
"Ooh, so that's it."
It was a nonsensical technique that made his mentality faint just by listening to it once.
The incomprehensibleness was at the level of Ga*gaigar fusing G field and Defense field to deploy Hell and Heaven.
[It will be hard right now, but with your ability, you will be able to learn it if you invest around 25 years. I will also teach you to the best of my ability. Starting now!] (Spiera)
To Spiera who was speaking while looking at him with shiny eyes, Yu IlHan couldn't just say 'Bullshit carnival!'.
Instead, he chanted the all-purpose incantation with a smile that anyone could make.
"I, will do my best!"
Author's notes:
A smile… that anyone can make! (*Cries*)
In fact, I still don't get what Hell and Heaven is.
Yumir has talent to become the biggest thief in history.

After activating the barrier, Yu IlHan focused on an extremely regular schedule.
Despite the fact that there would be no change in the rise and fall of the sun and moon within the barrier, he dedicated 24 one hour blocks as one day, with the first twelve hours making various equipment. Although humans were not machines, he hammered out one rare or higher ranked equipment after the other, perfectly in sync with the Eternal Flame.
Like that, over 500 pieces of equipment would be produced each day. As he was using up lower leveled monster materials first, the work difficulty was relatively lower, and he did not have to do mana crafting on them either.
At first, Spiera did question while looking at the pile of equipment that Yu IlHan made.
[But are you really planning to distribute these items on Earth?] (Spiera)
"Yup."
When Yu IlHan nodded, she tilted her head and continued asking.
[But then, wouldn't they realize that the one they call Susanoo and Vanguard are related?] (Spiera)
"Probably."
Yu IlHan agreed with her. If the equipment he made this time were distributed through Vanguard, the people would realize that Susanoo, who massacred the wolves this time, and Vanguard should have some relations to each other.
"I can't hide it forever, and I had no intentions of hiding it in the first place. It's not like there are fools on Earth that will annoy Vanguard, is there?"
[Hah, everyone would be shocked.] (Spiera)
Of course, some people were already saying that, but it would be confirmed the moment these equipment were released.
People would be shocked at the fact that there was a connection between the best equipment shop on Earth and the strongest person on Earth. Although, no no one would realize that they're the same person.
[Korea has found a jackpot then.] (Spiera)
"I'm really thankful to my country's education method that helped me become the pancosmic loner. I can wave the Korean flag a lot, so I wish they cut down on some of those taxes."
[You really are unshakable.] (Spiera)
And when 12 hours passed like that, Yu IlHan stopped his productive activities, and quickly confirmed the contents of the bucket before changing them. Normally, this would become the only meal time of his day.
Everyone, including Yu IlHan, who underwent a lot of labor; Liera and Erta, who took the role of teachers; the trainees, who looked like they've been inside a washing machine for some time; Yumir, who was as dashing as ever; and Spiera, who watched over them, all gathered and had a meal at this time.
As their meals were over with just this, everyone would fill their stomachs viciously with meat, wine, rice and bread.
Especially, the wolfkin royalty, Ericia, looked tougher than the elves, who Yu IlHan had 'modified' into eating meat, when eating she threw away all her dignity as royalty and twitched her ears happily as she stuffed her face until her stomach was filled.
"Master, no matter how similar we look to humans, we are in the end, monsters. And monsters are races that become stronger by cannibalism. This is a method to not let the overall power of the race drop as much as possible, and an instinct engraved into almost all of the monsters."
"In order to not let the overall power of the race drop, huh...."
Yu IlHan did not get stronger no matter how much wolf meat he ate, but her strength, mana and level increased permanently just by eating the same meat.
Of course, the change wasn't that extreme, so lunatic monsters that devoured their kin appeared very rarely. Even if they did, they were those who had thought processes similar to the Destruction Demon Army.
To Yu IlHan, who received new knowledge, and thought that monsters weren't monsters for nothing, she asked in a careful voice.
"Did I make you feel disgusted?"
"No, I just felt like I hit the jackpot."
Yu IlHan severed Ericia's serious worries with just a single line.
How? That was because there were over 100 thousand wolves made into meat in his inventory.
"I'll let you take all the wolf meat from now on. You should at least eat 100 per day, well, the more the better."
"I understand master. I will eat them all and become stronger."
Ericia exclaimed at the fact that Yu IlHan's emotions didn't change at all. No matter how he understood the fact that she was a monster, he should have felt some kind of rejection to the clearly different actions and culture to that of humans, but the fact that he just accepted it with 'Oh yeah, you aren't human.' made her see Yu IlHan as someone great.
Ericia sneaked peeks at Yu IlHan from time to time, who took out more wolf meat and grilled it, and thought that this man was someone who was worth it for her to follow as a master.
At that moment,
"Dad, me too! Cannibalism!"
"...Huh?"
Everyone's idol, Yumir, dropped a bomb.
"Dragons also eat each other. Mom said that!"
"..."
Yumir's words were without any room for misunderstanding. Yu IlHan felt slightly faint after hearing that, but soon called for Liera and Erta to consult them about it.
"What do we do?"
[Mir wants to get stronger, so we feed him.] (Liera)
[I was sorry since only we ate it, but now that we know that they cannibalize, that's good. Let's feed him.] (Erta)
"Okay!"
It was a 100% approval that made one wonder if it was worth it to consult them about it in the first place. Yu IlHan made a gentle smile as he poured out dragon meat from his inventory.
"Mir, eat and grow a lot, okay?"
"Yeah!"
Yumir rejoiced after looking at the enormous pile of meat. Looking at that scene, Yu IlHan thought if it was humanely alright, but Mir was a dragon.
There would be a lot of things that humans do that are incomprehensible for monsters. If one wanted to be understood, one must first respect the other's lifestyle. Yu IlHan, who could change his mindset like this at anytime, was perhaps talented to rule over monsters.
Now that that was done with, the only problem left was the other's' meals. Although they wouldn't be able to eat dragon meat as they pleased from now, since Yumir would get stronger through them, there were many other delicious things in this world, so Yu IlHan decided to not worry about it.
Meanwhile, Ericia, who was in the middle of eating wolf meat, muttered in surprise with widened eyes.
"To think it's dragon meat… I did predict after looking at the weapon, but as expected, you even hunted dragons..."
"You would be surprised to find out what His Majesty did in Dareu."
[Don't you be proud of IlHan's achievements, because I'm going to be.] (Liera)
[Quite the adult there, Liera] (Erta)
Like that, a special caretaker of the wolf meat and dragon meat in Yu IlHan's inventory, was made. However, as there were even more dragonkin meat than wolf meat and dragon meat combined, there wasn't a situation where they had no meat to eat.
Anyway, after around an hour of mealtime, the trainees would undergo hellish training for their after-meal exercise. They were allowed 3 hours of sleep after 8 hours of battering, and this was their life pattern.
However, Yu IlHan was different. If meals were enjoyments to the angels, and recovery time and growing muscle time for the elves, and a time to get stronger for Ericia and Yumir, to Yu IlHan, it was a meal to recover his rest energy.
In other words, he had no need for sleep. If he became full with meat and wine, he would just train the Spear of Untraceable Trajectory and that nonsensical spear with a wooden spear in front of the giant blob of meat!
"*Burp*. Breath is perfect, but it's a problem that I'm getting drunk. I should go troll hunting quickly."
[Although I think I've lived for a long time, you're the first one that replaces sleep by drinking refined dragon blood and troll blood.] (Spiera)
"You can say that it's a fantastic combination of the Cooking skill and the Extreme poison resistance skill."
Yu IlHan decided to head to the dungeon in the Grand Canyon after the barrier time was over, until the day he had to sell the advanced weaponry. It wasn't to meet the elves, but to acquire blood from the trolls that habited in an area before Dareu!
[Anyway, enough of that. Focus, Yu IlHan. You need to bring out the peak of all martial arts with a single spear strike!] (Spiera)
The speed of a whip that surpasses the speed of sound even without the use of mana.
The sharpness of a sword that cuts apart everything that blocks its way with a strike that focuses its all.
The heaviness of a blunt weapon that destroys anything in its path to smithereens.
By subliming all of those with techniques to control the body to the extreme, he would imbue it into the striking spear.
'Although I still think it's bullshit even if I think about it twice or thrice...'
It wasn't like he couldn't believe it since the Akashic Record said there was a fusion evolution waiting for him, and it was also against Yu IlHan's policies to laze around because he couldn't grasp it.
Now that he decided to do this, he had to do this somehow without showing his weakness. Succeed!
'25 years? It wouldn't be strange if the 2nd Great Cataclysm happened tomorrow. I can't be so leisurely.'
Yu IlHan activated Superhuman strength. If he couldn't do it with his ability alone, he could only strengthen himself! If he didn't understand the principles, he could only repeat it like an idiot, again and again!
Spiera noticed that he activated a skill, but didn't interrupt. Instead, she was proud, thinking that he was serious about learning the skill.
'So you're trying that huh. Well, it is true that your physical body is very weak right now... Moreover, the Great Cosmos-severing Spear is a fusion skill in itself. It wouldn't be strange if another skill was added into the mix. Even if the result is different, that seems interesting in itself.'
Spiera's skill and Yu IlHan's skill wouldn't be completely the same anyway. If anyone could become as strong as her just by walking the same path, then Heaven wouldn't even need to be wary against the other factions.
In the future, Yu IlHan would hesitate in countless forks in his path. Perhaps he might not be able to arrive at a destination, and perhaps, the destination he finds might be completely different to where Spiera had arrived.
However, if there was anything sure, it was that Yu IlHan was proceeding without stopping even now. Every wrong turn he takes, every mistake he makes would become Yu IlHan's record and leave an eternal trace behind.
Spiera thought that she wanted to see it one day. She now wanted to appreciate the footsteps that this human makes, who makes many worlds tremble and even shakes the heart of higher existences, as he steps into the unknown.
'But I can't appreciate it too much. I have work to do here.'
The 'work' to observe positive changes to the angels around Yu IlHan, and if possible, applying it to herself.
And what was more important, was to find traitors.
'Destruction Demon Soldiers are alright since their movement patterns are quite simple. I can't do anything about the Garden of Sunset since they're perverts that I will never understand no matter how I dig into them. So they're fine as well. However...'
The Army of Brilliant Light (Fallen angels faction) was a different story. They, who bear the wings that were burnt black, look down on God's power and wish for the distortion in the Akashic Record.
Although she felt like they were being buried under the actions of the Destruction Demon Army nowadays, Spiera also knew that even that was their intentions.
Traitors that were sneakily acting in Heaven. The ones that had their wings not completely burnt yet; and the ones that wait for the time to give a fatal blow to the angels and God.
Those guys were on Earth. Looking down on all existences, they were waiting for the time to rebel against the absolute being!
'Erta and Liera don't suspect much since they're too pure. However, I'm different.'
The absolute majority of the higher existences would not be able to use their powers on a lower world. However, there was one case where that rule was ignored.
They could use their power when they found a traitor within the same faction, and only in order to punish that traitor. In order to guard the record of the faction, all higher existences would become the punisher.
Like how, in the past, when Liera was Lita, she beat up the angel that cooperated with the 4th class mage to open a gate to Earth.
'Traitor. I do not know who you are and how big your faction is.'
But she will find them. With the partner she had newly acquired, she will find them even if she had to sweep every corner of this world.
And she will,
Thud!
Spiera's thoughts suddenly ended. She opened her eyes and abruptly raised her head, and saw Yu IlHan with a broken wooden spear. He was also looking back towards her while blinking.
"Wao."
Muttered Yu IlHan in a small voice. Looking at that figure, Spiera's lips slightly trembled.
[You... don't tell me you?] (Spiera)
"I think I took the first step."
Humbly replied Yu IlHan. However, Spiera could not agree with that.
[One step, you say. At the point you poured that power into the spear, you already...] (Spiera)
The giant blob of metal that could be seen behind him. In the middle, there was a long and sharp scar that could not have been created by a wooden spear.
The sharpness of a sword that was more specialized in slashing. He had succeeded in imbuing that power onto the spear.
Well, of course, although it would be relatively easier to do since the spear and the sword had more in common than the others, it still was an abnormally fast training speed.
[O, only half a month has passed.] (Spiera)
Spiera couldn't say anything anymore.
She knew that Yu IlHan was not ordinary the moment she heard that he trained martial arts while enduring a thousand years alone. However, in her eyes, endurance was not the most amazing thing about him.
The biggest power that her contractor had, was neither his positive personality, nor his endurance, but his 'talent'.

Although it was a little off to say that 'time passed quickly', the two months inside the barrier seemed like it was shortening faster the busier Yu IlHan and co moved around.
They felt like it was just 'yesterday' when they said it was going to be a boring 2 months of closed-door training, but now, only 75 hours, a little more than 3 days, were left.
The elves marvelously suffered to raise all sorts of their skill levels and trained their basic combat abilities to a deeper level, and Ericia strengthened herself additionally with wolf meat. Especially Ericia, as she reached level 98, she was the highest level amongst Yu IlHan's subordinates.
However, if level decided everything, then Yu IlHan wouldn't have been able to roam around Dareu while bringing ruin to everything. Of course, even Ericia couldn't win against Yumir. It was the same with the elves too even though they were equipped with legend ranked equipments.
Yumir, who perhaps inherited a little too much of his father's talent, raised his skill levels the fastest, with the highest being concealment at level 70.
Since none of Yu IlHan's subordinates could find him if he decided to conceal himself properly, when sparring, they'd try to catch him before he went into concealment but end up missing him and be KO'ed with a wind bullet to their backs. That was the same when all of them fought together against him.
"Even if it's the Imperial Prince, we can't lose so easily like this."
"We need to hit him somehow before the barrier dispels."
"However, even if we break his concealment, it's still hard for us to win against him in close combat..."
"Wind magic is scary too. Dragons' chantless casting is so OP."
As seen, perhaps due to his father, or perhaps Lecidna had talent for physical combat, but Yumir's close combat was also very fast.
As weaponry like the spear and the sword were meaningless once he reverted back into dragon form, he focused on physical combat, but as a result of his 'focus', Physical Combat has reached level 60 in the two months.
Physical Combat level 60 might sound like it's quite low, but if you consider how Mirey, who trained in the sword and physical combat for hundreds of years in Dareu, had Physical Combat skill at level 50, it was very high. Of course, it could be hard to simply compare because she focused more on the sword.
[Mir is the best.] (Liera)
"Noona's the best too!"
[Owwwww, so cute.] (Liera)
Liera, who received a critical damage to her heart due to Yumir's ambush attack, just hugged him and rolled on the ground. Erta was a little jealous thinking that they looked like a mother and son playing around, but eventually decided to not mind about it so much; she monopolized him when it was magic training session anyway.
[Are all dragons like this? He's exceptional even in regards to wielding mana. I'm even thinking it was a miracle that Yu IlHan massacred them all.] (Erta)
[He's Mir's dad after all.] (Liera)
Checking Yumir's current state, who had been reborn in the past two months to become a fighting power that didn't lack in any part, the angels were only dumbfounded.
On the outside, he was just a seven year-old kid, who was as cute as an angel, but the contents were a monster that could fell a normal 3rd class monster with ease.
Yumir didn't only go through technical development. He really arduously cannibalized on his kin and raised his stats permanently along with his levels. Levels didn't increase that much, but his stats did so every so often, so it was even more of a profit.
However, to the 4 elves and the wolfkin princess who intended to support their lord, it was very insulting for them to lose against his son.
"3rd class. If we just earn 3rd class, then we maybe able to win against the young master."
"But what is the Imperial Prince also undergoes 3rd class advancement?"
"That's why we want to finish our class advancement missions fast and win against the young master even once before he advanced to his third class."
Ericia ate wolf meat again and again. She wanted to grow until she was able to undergo 3rd class advancement missions until the barrier was dissolved.
"We can't lag behind."
"If I want to receive His Majesty's love, I need to be at least the strongest among the subordinates."
"Paté, please restrain yourself."
On the other side, the elves could neither raise their stats with wolf or dragon meat, nor could they raise their levels, so their sense of crisis was the highest, and desperately put in their efforts into getting stronger. From how it made them rise to new heights, it wasn't such a bad thing.
And Yu IlHan of course influenced his subordinates' growths. To be exact, it was his Rule skill. The more his subordinates thought that they wanted to get stronger for Yu IlHan, the effect of the Rule skill also expanded.
Yu IlHan thought that Ericia wouldn't follow Yu IlHan from the bottom of her heart, but it wasn't like that either.
Not only dragons, but the majority of the monsters worshipped power, so it was natural that Ericia was smitten with Yu IlHan's abilities, and the fact that Yu IlHan gave her all the wolfkin meat also served to bring out her loyalty towards him.
Ericia was now bound to Yu IlHan for her life anyway. It was unknown before she was subordinated, but now he even respected her and gave her things, what good would it do for her to hate him?
Of course, she also had some expectations to be given an amazing artifact like the elves if she appealed her loyalty while serving him.
No, it wasn't just 'some' expectations. Her master made legend ranked equipments like nothing so perhaps she would get one too!
Like that, Yu IlHan succeeded in receiving her loyalty without him knowing. Of course, whether or not Ericia's expectations were fulfilled was up to whether Yu IlHan felt like it or not.
Well then. What the 'served' being was doing right now, was of course, making artifacts. Not those that would be released through Vanguard, but for himself.
He also had made plenty of large scale install-style weapons to be used in large battles too. It was now time to make things for himself.
"Hmm, Let's make some weapons, and since my current armor is of the fire attribute, let's make one of the water attirbute, yes. If it's possible, I want to be able to move around freely in the water."
Humming, Yu IlHan spun around the hammer on his left hand.
Well, of course, it was fun to make items to sell, but the most enjoyable moment was none other than when making stuff for himself!
Above all, whether it was the standard-tier weapons, or the specialized ones, he could not use 4th class materials. Not only was it bothersome once an annoying user restrictions popped up, Yu IlHan didn't want to give them what he had to use for himself either.
However, now that he was thinking about making things for himself using 4th class materials, he was feeling hyped. He really was a pervert.
Spiera couldn't hold it and ended up interrupting him.
[Isn't your spear and your armor already splendid?] (Spiera)
To be exact, it was already above her own artifacts. Even though it was just made from lower world materials!
However, Yu IlHan firmly shook his head and spoke.
"Look at my spear for example. The attack power is so high so I can use it anywhere, but against non-dragons, it isn't even worthy to be called 'epic' ranked. I can't rely on this forever. Well, of course, it would be the best if I make a weapon that fits all situations..."
However, just as he was about to continue, something flashed in Yu IlHan's head again. It was not different from a blueprint that added more flesh to his imaginations before.
The inspiration was so sudden, and the next moment, it tried to leave. However, he would absolutely not let it go this time!
Yu IlHan urgently took out a piece of paper and spread it on the anvil and drew the scene in his head.
From another's view, they would call it a Hollywood overaction, but as he was as focused as the first time he watched porn, he didn't even now how he looked right now.
And Spiera, who watched him from beginning to end, knew too well what Yu IlHan was drawing.
[Is this... Don't tell me it's a magic formation?] (Spiera)
Drawings and symbols, and 'language' that even Spiera, who lived for quite a long time in Heaven's Army, could barely understand. Moreover, this 'language' looked quite familiar, it was definitely...
[The Trap of Destruction. Oh my word…] (Spiera)
The decisive reason why Heaven's Army could manage so many worlds, the prison that attracted and entrapped monsters. The ancient language of magic that was used in creating Traps of Destruction that had the power to create Dungeons, was being filled with on Yu IlHan's blueprint right now!
[Liera! Erta!] (Spiera)
In fear of interrupting Yu IlHan's work, Spiera shouted to Liera and Erta through the whisper function in angel's ring. The angels, who were in the middle of 'helping' their trainees with digestion, tilted their heads at their superior's call even though they were only 20 meters apart, but still headed towards her anyway.
[I need to make them suffer a little more.] (Liera)
[What is it? We're in the same place so why is there a need to… call...] (Erta)
Erta was the first to notice Yu IlHan's performance. She realized that Yu IlHan was having an out-of-session art time, and after realizing what he was drawing on there, she looked closely in disbelief.
[How does Yu IlHan…?] (Erta)
[I wanted to ask you that. Did you teach it to him?] (Spiera)
Erta ended up smiling in futility when she heard Spiera's question.
[You should know better than me that I'm not at a level where I can teach this to others.] (Erta)
[I wonder if he learned it while creating the Traps of Destruction.] (Erta)
[That's not enough. There's no way he could understand the meaning behind that language so much with just that.] (Spiera)
Spiera firmly shook her head. Continuing, her sharp gaze was directed to Liera, but she had her jaws agape in joy looking at Yu IlHan's work. Spiera came to a conclusion quickly.
[It's not this idiot either, then…] (Spiera)
[Of course, she's an idiot. As such, if Yu IlHan learned the language of Heaven, then it...] (Erta)
…is self learned, or so Erta was about to reply when she realized something. There was a skill amongst the numerous maxed out skills in Yu IlHan's posession, that could influence this situation.
[Language skill...] (Erta)
[What did you say just now?] (Spiera)
[Language skill. His Language skill is level max.] (Erta)
Spiera became speechless. What could she do when it was the Language skill that reached the extreme level? She had never even seen such beings before!
She eventually ended up watching Yu IlHan's blueprint design along with Erta and Liera. There was nothing else she could do!
An unknown amount of time passed, and Yu IlHan put down his pen.
However, what he said with his mouth was neither exclamation towards himself nor any satisfaction.
"Dammit."
It was disappointment.
"It's not enough."
[Hatred?] (Liera)
"No, magic stones."
[Ouch.] (Liera)
He smacked on Liera's forehead after seriously replying to her joke. Then, he said some unbelievable things.
"I need the magic stone of a higher existence. At least 5th class. It looks like I need to eventually fight them."
[You really are cocky, thinking you want to fight higher existences for supplying materials...] (Erta)
"But not now. So I can't make this now."
Yu IlHan rolled up the blueprint and threw it inside his inventory. He decided to feel satisfied with just being able to leave behind his inspirations on paper permanently. Now, he had no choice but to make things with whatever materials he had
"One whip, one hammer, and one armor. I think that should be enough."
Why was it not a spear? It was because his progress on Great Cosmos-severing Spear he was learning under Spiera was halted nowadays.
Was it because he succeeded in putting the power of the sword into the spear? He trained while thinking that he wanted to imbue the power of a whip or a blunt weapon into the spear, but it was Yu IlHan being greedy for too much. Although it was becoming faster and sharper, it was just that.
Of course, Spiera was already plenty shocked at his current progress, but Yu IlHan wasn't so satisfied. That was why he was creating a weapon that was not a spear.
Although his weapon mastery was already at max level, there would be some insights if he fought an expert with that weapon. He wished that that insight would add onto acquiring the Great Cosmos-severing Spear.
He felt that the strategy to focus on the spear was gone at this point, but he couldn't help it as this was also to learn an advanced spear technique, or so he excused himself.
His intentions behind creating weapons was very clear.
Now that he could not set an objective like 'I'm going to fight against such and such monster', or 'I'm going to have to fight under such and such environment', he could only make an all-rounder weapon that could be used under any conditions.
Mana crafting was the same. Rather than emphasizing on a certain objective, he created an environment to bring out the best of the magic stone's capabilities. He couldn't make any more 'specialized' weapons like the Eight-tailed dragon spear that did not do its 'rank value' under some conditions.
[Insantely Passionate Spiked Black dragon whip was completed.]
[Destruction-calling Titan's Resonance Thunderhammer was completed.]
The results were splendid. Both the whip and the hammer were completed into legend ranks, and as Yu IlHan wished, they were good weapons that were near perfection onits own. Above all, he was satisfied that there was an unexpected blow.
Of course, the one he was more satisfied with was the hammer.
"Good, hammers are all about ringing."
[Are you going on a solo-raid or something?]
A gigantic hammer that was purely made from Karrows' dragon bones. The hammer had a special option attached that Yu IlHan didn't intend for, and he felt that it was appeared after considering his achievements in the process of mana crafting.
"Now that it came to this, let's polish the dragon bone throwing spears, and shields too."
[You really make a lot out of dragon bones.] (Erta)
"I used so much, but I still have around 200 dragons worth of materials."
Yu IlHan polished thousands of throwing spears along with shields and other support-type equipments he made for fighting dragons, before going into making the armor.
He pursued universality for his weapons, but armor was a different story.
Wasn't Yu IlHan's current armor, 'Iron-armored fire dragon's Biting Dark python Fullplate armor', endure almost all environments due to its overwhelming defense stats and high fire attriubute resistance, which was came in handy in most battlefields?
As such, Yu IlHan wanted to make an armor that covered his current one's weaknesses. Yes, like what he muttered last time, he wanted to make an armor for an underwater battle!
[*Groan*, this human really is...] (Spiera)
[Rejoice, Spiera. You will feel that strange feeling a lot more from now on!] (Erta)
[That surprisingly does not make me happy at all!] (Spiera)
On the blackish-red thin armor that Yu IlHan created while investing dragon bones and all the bones of the demon wolf, Quesad, Yu IlHan thought of the snowy plains while undergoing mana crafting with the magic stone that Quesad dropped. It was the record he had the most in relation to water.
The rest was bringing out the suitable options for underwater battles out of this record. That was Yu IlHan's specialty.
[Chilly Blizzard tyrant's Mixed bone Fullplate armor was completed.]
And his mana crafting succeeded in bearing fruit.
[Chilly Blizzard tyrant's Mixed bone Fullplate armor]
[Rank – Legend]
[Defense – 7,300]
[Durability – 11,500/11,500]
[Options –
1. 90% increase in water attribute resistance.
1. 50% increase in water attribute attack power.
3. Becomes able to create ice by using water and mana. This ice can be freely controlled, and the hardness increases according to the amount of mana and water consumed.]
[User restrictions – Dragon Slayer]
[An attribute-specialized armor that was born from a smith that wields the power of miracles. It is an armor that reflects the crafter's will to survive under any extreme conditions.]
"...Huh?"
And quite a lot, in a direction that Yu IlHan didn't intend for.
