The Goblin Warrior was a SSS-class warrior born with unprecedented talent.
In terms of being a warrior alone, thanks to inheriting the qualities of Oknodie, she surpassed even Ishtar and Astarot.
Her growth environment was incredible.
Even though the warrior system would strengthen as the race faced more crises, the Goblin Warrior experienced a professor disaster where 98.5% of her kin died.
One could hardly find a better environment for her to grow as a warrior!
And yet, another growth event opened up for her.
A kind warrior from another world, who told her to cherish herself, was brutally killed within ten seconds.
WHAM!
[How commendable to show mercy for a lower being endowed with great power….]
[Beasts that can’t recognize hierarchy have no value as pets… just die already.]
The One-Hundred Dimension Predators were already in a bad mood due to the disappearance of a mob that had held its ground without even a taste of combat.
No matter how cute and capable a pet is, once it starts to show off and bark, it becomes unmanageable!
The Predators regarded the Goblin Warrior with the same disdain that humans have toward dogs or cats.
SLASH!
That soft thinking, a large gap in vigilance, left the Goblin Warrior’s sword strike penetrating.
“?!”
SWISH!
She sliced right through.
The Stone Area that petrifies all beings within its realm was easily cut like tofu by the Goblin Warrior’s sword.
Even the Slow Area, which traps everything in SLOWNESS making attacks and escapes feel agonizingly slow, was sliced in an instant.
The realms did not connect.
The Goblin Warrior’s domain, her will, transcended the domains and will of the Predators.
The entire Goblin World, the entire world was raising a single warrior’s hand.
[No way!]
[The will of the guardian deity trying to protect the world is beginning to sprout in a Goblin World!]
[How can a lower being of an inferior civilization deserve such a privilege!!]
A guardian deity.
Even if no one has ascended to godhood themselves, a collective unconscious begins to coalesce that transcends being the god of a single race, to become the god of a world.
Such an existence can only be born when certain levels of civilization and consciousness are achieved, reaching toward the scales of functional judgment.
[The primitive guardian deity of the Goblin World breaks through the veil of slowness.]
[The primitive guardian deity of the Goblin World liberates the petrified will.]
[The primitive guardian deity of the Goblin World throws away the diplomatic taboos.]
Oknodie and Titosso provided the Goblins with healthy desires and proper evolutionary directions.
As countless sacrifices piled up, the Goblins wished.
May peace come to our world.
May we be freed from this cruel cycle of plunder.
The technological advances that fundamentally changed their species’ temperament and their yearning for peace finally birthed a primitive guardian deity to assist the Goblin Warrior.
“I can’t believe my eyes.”
Until the Goblin Warrior showed up, the Butler had been fleeing from the Predators alone.
He doubted his own eyes.
The most insignificant and trivial of small beings corrected their desires and yearned for peace, aiding the warrior.
This was far better than the treachery and betrayal of humans blinded by desire.
Honestly, he felt a tinge of shame.
“To think this was all the work of the Dark Princess.”
Though her appearance was brief, the arrival of the mob was imprinted clearly in the Butler’s eyes.
Moreover, this mob was the very first one that the Dark Princess nurtured at the Gift Academy.
The first apprentice.
The first subjugation.
The first elite guard member.
The beginning knight.
The knight clad in black training armor following the Dark Princess’s name was gradually gaining fame even in the now-fallen foundation.
– The Dark Princess’s first apprentice? Surely not an ordinary one. Keep an eye on him.
– I heard there’s a knight who never takes off his armor for the Dark Princess. What happens when he does?
– The Black Knight doesn’t use armor as a tool to protect himself but rather sees his body as a tool to protect the armor. Why such dedication to guarding it?
– You know, if the armor gets destroyed, only an empty helmet and the darkness lurking behind it will reveal the true form of the living armor.
– Whoa. So the mob we’ve acquired has likely had its soul devoured long ago, and its true form is that of a monster living armor?
If the extraction technique of spirits allowed the extraction of a spirit’s soul into mages’ tools for output, the Director of the Foundation could apply that to extract the souls of midrealm beings to torture them in bonsai.
If he learned the soul extraction technique from the Director, it wouldn’t be impossible to use something like soul crystallization on human monsters.
“Without fear, he bore the assaults of the Predators on his body and vanished. The living armor theory of the Black Knight must be correct!”
Even with a lethal injury, if the soul and fragments of the armor remained intact, he could resurrect like a true living armor!
The Butler halted his escape and began to unleash mysteries against the Predators pursuing him.
The mob and Goblin Warrior.
As the many Predators drawn in by these two dispersed, the Butler found new strength.
“The Dark Princess came up with a good plan for me, so I shall show her one of my prized techniques too.”
Oknodie completely forgot the Butler’s existence.
Was there even such a person?
Just looking at him left him dumbfounded.
With the Chairman of the Foundation dead, who would the Director even report to?
The former splendid figure about to be unemployed seemed more useless than the Eungchilgeom who was on the cusp of losing his job.
Of course, the Butler’s true identity was that of the Leader of the Organization.
In a normal cycle, he would be deemed among the top figures, instead of the Chairman of the Foundation, against the Three Great Evils.
First Wahyhiemhai.
Having long lingered in the shadows as a clone of Ni’alatotep, devoted to dimensional roaming, his presence was lesser than usual.
Unlike the usual cycle where he poured all his power into protecting the midrealm from the shadows, this time, a sturdy boss known as the “Chairman” was watching over the shadows of the midrealm.
If he could safely entrust his home to watch over, it was only natural for his mind to be at ease while he roamed outside.
WHOOSH
[The Shadow of Idros]
– Effect: An illusion tempts the target and obscures reality.
[The Embrace of Harmonia]
– Effect: Temporarily intoxicates all enemies with a sense of satisfaction extracted from the god of satisfaction, leaving them in a state of confusion and paralysis.
[Chronos’s Leap]
– Effect: Eliminates the process of actions, leaving only the outcome.
[Carina’s Secret]
– Effect: Causes the opposite result of the illusion one experiences when one falls into dreams and lies.
SQUISH
An inescapable satisfaction.
When twisted senses of rejection and fear were felt, the Predators came to realize the damage to their spirit bodies only belatedly.
Something had been done.
What the Butler did was unknown, but the damage dealt was immense.
The accompanying feelings of ‘rejection’ and ‘fear’ made it seem as if those emotions were directed toward the Butler when the illusion shattered.
They were scared.
Of themselves.
The great predators.
The rulers of a world.
Conquerors who entirely covered a territory with their domain.
“Come, self. Did you not want to eat me just a moment ago?”
Countless mysteries.
From Oknodie’s viewpoint, the Butler possessed numerous utility artifacts.
A build always lacking something, incomplete, and full of flaws.
Yet the powerful abilities he collected from roaming tirelessly through one-hundred dimensions were now being unleashed without hesitation.
ROAR
The Dragon Principal, facing the so-called ‘worst’ that surpassed the Three Great Evils of the midrealm, held nothing back in using the mysteries he had preserved.
Oknodie vs. Director.
The unfolding father-daughter battle changing the world was something the Butler could intuitively keep up with thanks to the aid of the mysterious powers.
“While the Dark Princess is around, the Dragon Principal should certainly be resolved. That was the deceased Seonhwang’s will, and I am certain this will carry on that will since she chose sealing and death herself.”
Just as Seonhwang Papa and the Chairman of the Foundation believed in Oknodie and ventured into an all-or-nothing battle, the Butler too could embark on a decisive fight devoid of retreat while trusting her.
[The Shadow of Idros has been distorted by the Predator’s overwhelming darkness.]
[The uses of Chronos’s Leap have all been consumed. The rights to use mysteries are revoked.]
[Carina’s Secret is liberated from the dream prison.]
The identity of the mysteries.
The number of uses of the mysteries.
The constraints of the mysteries.
Even if the different reasons rendered the mysteries unusable, which weakened the powerful abilities the Butler held, sometimes one must fight without fearing loss.
Though he hadn’t found the right moment until now, he wasn’t afraid of that loss anymore.
“You Director! You didn’t fear death, so why should I fear the loss of these small mysteries!”
The Butler’s counterattack.
The awakening of the Goblin Warrior.
The birth of the primitive guardian deity and its assistance.
Finally, the human extermination cannon being fired like a wedge.
All miracles stemming from a single existence piled upon further miracles, combining causes and effects.
Thus, they reached a culmination.
[Oooo, ooohhh…! The soul… the soul is flowing away…!!!]
Before the invasion of the One-Hundred Dimensions, before the repulsion of the Dragon Principal, the inevitable demise of the Predators was a result beyond anyone’s reach and struck down without hesitation.
“!!”
Amidst all this unfolding, Ishtar, who had fled into the underground dungeon, sensed it.
[A warrior achieving mythical deeds is active.]
[The unique god [Sofemia of the Sun] has reduced the warrior points granted to you.]
Ishtar realized.
The power given to her is not a property that remains eternally unchanged.
[The Goblin Warrior’s warrior points have reached their limit.]
[[The Vessel of Sacrifice] is complete.]
When the power she thought would always stand by the warriors amassed certain achievements, an inevitable result awaited.
Why Oknodie considered her a “predestined failure” and “a person doomed to destruction” each time he looked at Ishtar.
