Before Yeon-woo t Agares, he had contemplated how to fight against him.
Agares was definitely going to want Sesha and himself. Yeon-woo couldnt let himself be played by him.
But Yeon-woo didnt have any power. How could he defeat Agares, who was strong enough to crush the god Brahma?
So Yeon-woo changed his tactics.
If I cant stop him, I have to call soone who can.
Thankfully, he still had a way out.
The summoning circle that Agares had gone through. Agares had definitely destroyed it, but the magic circle made with Brahms holiness couldnt be broken so easily. There was still a little bit of it left.
So Yeon-woo had concentrated his consciousness there and made contact with it.
Information flooded out from the circle like a waterfall. They were formulas that Brahm had put down in the Book of rcury. They were so complex that they were hard to approach.
[Ti Difference]
However, Yeon-woo quickly fixed the areas that were broken. His brain hurt like it was burning, but he continued to collect the knowledge.
And when the function of the summoning circle was sowhat recovered
The magic power that was always in his Magic Circuit evaporated. He felt empty, but he didnt lose his grip and lifted his head.
The red sky began to split. As the blue sky opened, a column of light from above pushed the darkness away. Even Agares couldnt invade this area.
And soon enough, a large iron door slowly appeared, piercing through the clouds.
[Who..calls..?]
It was a voice that rang in his head. It was a heavy voice.
Yeon-woo spoke to the being that was sowhere behind the door. To the god that could fight against Agares.
[And the price..?]
Aegis.
It was the godly artifact that had been a great help to him, but to defeat Agares, he had to give an item that was worth as much.
[Deal done.]
Kookookoo!
The iron door started to creak open.
And under that, sothing strange descended below, stretching its neck out.
A colossal five-headed boa snake that could probably easily sweep away an entire mountain slithered and hissed.
And above it, there was a familiar face.
Agaress face crumpled seeing it.
[Hers..!]
The sky that Hers ca down from was colored with blue, and brought with it a refreshing air.
On the other hand, the ground where Agares was was filled with darkness. As light and darkness clashed, a boundary line was made.
Hers made a pleasant smile above the boas head.
Long ti no see, Agares. Has it been 800 or 900 years? This is the first ti weve seen each other after the sealing of Luciel, right?
[Why is soone who should just be watching..!]
What do you think?
Hers shrugged his shoulders like it was obvious.
I received an offer, and Im here to pay for what I got.bender
His smile deepened.
lightsnvl Unlike you, who scamd through half of it, Im planning on giving more than what I owe.
A god could adjust however they wanted to give sothing in return for what they got. And sotis, they would be at a disadvantage.
The blessing or miracle of a god was included in this. For priests, this was important to maintain their religion.
On the other hand, if a demon wanted to give sothing in return for soones sacrifice, it was a deal. They had to return as much as they received, but so tricks were involved in it. They would never do sothing that was disadvatageous to them.
So Hers was threatening that he would do sothing that was disadvantageous to himself for the first ti in a long while.
It ant that he would match whatever Agares did to block him.
Hers giggled, like this situation was too amusing.
And this was obvious, but gods and demons definitely didnt have a good relationship with each other.
Uedeudeuk!
Agares ground his teeth.
He was stronger than most gods, but Hers was different. Even for demons with so level of power, Hers was too much.
And the bigger problem was that Hers wasnt the only god here.
Under the sky, where the boa snake was coming out, there was sothing else looking in this direction. They had a godly level that Hers couldnt match. No, in the small category of fighting, it was a being that was much more annoying than Hers.
To deal with two gods at once was hard even for Agares.
Alright. So decide now.
Hers smiled even wider seeing Agares.
Are you going to fight with like this, or step back?
The boa slithered around Agares, ready to attack when it received the command.
For a small mont, Agares was deep in thought.
And
[It wouldnt be bad. For a god and demon to play on the lower floors.]
Agares smiled violently. Then, tens of black wings spread out. As Agares disappeared in the darkness, thousands of tentacles soared up into the air.
At the sa ti, 5 more boa snakes ca down.
Kurrrng!
The stage began to ring.
***
Hwaaa
In myths, the battle of gods and demons were often portrayed with the heavens and the earth shaking. The seas would dry up, and rain would pour down from the sky.
But that mightve only been in the myths, or maybe the fight of the two was just different.
Hers and Agaress fight was simpler than expected.
Light and darkness. It only looked like white and black were mixed together.
Like black ink spread in water to taint it, the darkness from the ground tried to taint the light.
On the other hand, the light split to purify the darkness. The ground reflected the light, and darkness repetitively shot up and fell back.
It was sothing that beca one, and tried to influence each other, as they tried to gain the upper hand.
To Yeon-woo, with his Draconic Eyes, it was clear as day.
Sothing gigantic that was impossible to tell from the earth was slowly moving. It was big enough to make the boa look tiny, so it was hard to tell exactly how it looked like.
Every ti the form that was probably Agaress actual body moved, ice, wind, fire, and light continued to blink in and out of existence.
On the other hand, Hers called for more boas while still on top of his original. Ice, wind, fire, and light caused explosions.
The recovery and destruction of the stage changed according to the movent of the two.
The Demons Forest was already heavily damaged, but the ground cracked so deeply that you couldnt even see the bottom, and trees continued to grow, making a lush forest again.
They were shaking the laws of nature.
It was sothing that no being could ever interrupt.
Thats..a god and a demon.
Yeon-woo clenched his fist. Looking at the fight that he couldnt dare approach, his mouth dried.
Vigrid, which was in Yeon-woos hand, was lightly shaking.
Although his Cold Blooded trait was applied, he was panting for breath just by looking at it. Even now, he felt like his lungs would explode.
And for Herss case back to when Yeon-woo had t him in the Olympus Treasury, Yeon-woo was surprised again.
It was clear he had been hiding his presence out of kindness. Even the goddess Urd looked weak in front of them. If he had to compare her to sothing, she was similar to the shedding from the Monkey Kings dungeon.
Since there were two of them like that.
The battle between them was greater than Yeon-woo had imagined. Even the function of the stage had paused.
How it was on the outside, and what had happened to the players clearing through the stage. He couldnt even imagine it.
They mightve thought that the warm column of light was here to protect them.
It was an energy that was warm and familiar.
He looked at where the column of light was coming from. There was no way he saw anything, but he felt like a pair of eyes were looking at him warmly.
Athena.
This was how he felt when he received Athenas blessing with the Aegis.
He had definitely only called for Hers with Aegis as the sacrifice. But it was not so unexpected that Athena was here as well. However, she wasnt able to co here herself because the cost had not been enough. It seed like she was protecting him through the portal that Hers had left open.
He didnt know why Athena was protecting him.
However, one thing he was sure of was that Athena and Hers seed to have positive feelings towards him and that she was saving Phante, Edora, and Brahm, who were probably still sowhere on the stage.
And Yeon-woo accepted her gaze to an that she was cheering him on.
Although she didnt say it explicitly, she was trying to help Yeon-woo so he didnt feel pressed down by Agares.
Huu..!
Under Athenas blessing, Yeon-woo caught his breath. As his nervousness faded away, he woke up his dulled senses, and pulled up his fighting spirit.
I have to get a demon to help Sesha.
The Philosophers Stone was important, but helping his sick niece was more important to Yeon-woo.
Agares was too much to be considered a material for that..but there was nothing to replace him. It would take a long ti for Brahm to reconstruct the Illusionary World.
He might not be much help, but he still needed to do sothing.
[Athena looks at you with calm eyes. She is satisfied with your firm resolve.]
[Athena sends you her blessing!]
An intense strength ca from within his soul. He felt like his body would float up into the sky.
Yeon-woo pushed down the feeling of fainting and controlled the power that Athena gave him into his cells. It activated his cells along with the Demons Blessing.
Kwadedeuk, kwadeuk
Holy power didnt fit well with the Dragons Blessing. However, if it was changed a bit, it could stimulate and grow the Demons Blessing.
This was what Yeon-woo was aiming for, and he amplified the Demons Blessing he absorbed with Bathorys Vampiric Sword.
And even that wasnt enough, so he opened Intrenian and absorbed the Ceratopsian Dinosaurs 5 hearts, the Krakens inner core, and the purple Demon Flowers with Bathorys Vampiric Sword.
Normally, he wouldve readjusted their amounts and refined them, but he didnt have ti to do that.
The pain of his bones being crushed and his body being shaken up followed, but Yeon-woo didnt blink.
On top of that, he forced the energy of the Monkey King that he had synchronized and tried to make it into one.
Kwang!
And with an explosion, his body expanded, and shrank again.
His scales that shined blue were tinted with black, and his blackish blue scales sparkled beautifully.
It was a sign that with the Demons Blessing, his 2nd step awakening was almost at its end.
[The Demons Blessing is being awakened.]
[The Demons Blessing is being awakened.]

[You have received an additional 15,000 Karma.]
..
Demonic Dragon Body.
Gaining the power that his brother had only theorized about, Yeon-woo gripped Vigrid with his new power.
Kashing!
An enormous amount of magic power entered Vigrid. The black blade shined so much white light it was like it was going to break.
[Sword Purification]
[Life of a Fighter]
With Draconic Eyes, Yeon-woo targeted the large monster that was beyond the wall of darkness.
As he did, a power that was almost too much for Yeon-woo to handle poured out.
The Sword Purification was an option that was stronger the stronger the target was, so with Agares as the target, the energy was incredible.
With additional fighting spirit on top of that, his attacking power multiplied.
As his body was injured in different places again, veins popped out above his skin.
Even though Yeon-woos body was stronger with his new trait, a strength that surpassed his limits could destroy his body.
However.
It was also true that if he overca those limits, he would beco even stronger.
[You have reached the limits of the Dragons Blessing. A new change is occurring.]
[You have reached the limits of the Demons Blessing. A new change is occurring, looking for new possibilities.]
[The 3rd Step Authority is being released.]
[Authority: Elent Contact]
It was the 3rd awakening.
Kwadeuk
Gigantic dragon wings spread out from Yeon-woos back. As his wings of fire and his dragon wings combined, they beca bigger, and his dragon scales reached up to his eyes. Sharp canines popped out from his lips.
Yeon-woo focused his boiling power on Vigrid, along with the holy power from Athena.
Nike. Nesis.
He woke up the two Mythical Beasts that had been waiting in the Philosophers Stone.
[Master, fighting!]
[Dreams..fade away.]
Fire property was added to the sword, and it expanded by several tis.
And.
He swung his sword powerfully.
[Holy Fire]
[Wave of Fire Hwarye]
[72 Bian Jul, Pok, Dan]
Kwaaang!
The fire from Vigrid extended all the way up to the edges of the stage and split right through the darkness to pierce the monster in the middle of the stage.
