The Player Who Stands Above All

Chapter 206

"Wow… it's hard to even look at. I heard about it from oppa, but to think something like this really existed in the world…"

Arachne muttered, her head held high.

Everyone present didn't say anything, but they agreed with Arachne's words.

A huge body, as if made by connecting hundreds of buildings, was densely covered with scales of a deep blue luster.

Perhaps because of the color of the scales covering its body, it looked as if the sea was alive and writhing in front of them.

Because of the huge body of the creature that filled their vision, they couldn't see anything else.

They couldn't even dare to look for the tail that would be somewhere on that huge body, and the only thing they could see was the head that soared high into the sky.

The creature, with its five pairs of eyes shining, looked around as if searching for prey, and then opened its mouth wide.

Jjeojeojeojeok--!!!

As its mouth opened, rows of huge, saw-like teeth appeared inside.

Just that alone, a ferocious momentum dominated the surroundings.

VIAAAAAAAA---!!!

There is no emission of magic power.

A simple roar.

But just that alone, everything in the city was swept away, broken, and flew in all directions.

A transcendent sight, as if life would face it if it continued to evolve.

Seuk-

Facing it, they quietly took out their weapons and smiled.

"I heard from Lee Shin oppa that that one is a poisonous snake, so don't covet the poison, it's mine."

The purple poisonous spider, looking at the enemy that had entered its territory, spun its web.

"I'm worried that I won't have enough reagents to make an artifact with that one."

The alchemist took out his works, which were like his children, and displayed them on the ground, then his monocle sparkled.

"Wow, if I take off all those scales, it would be perfect for armor. I wonder if I can eat that meat too?"

The angel, holding a platinum staff, spread her pure white wings and finished preparing to fly.

"To think there's a creature like that, it's a sight for sore eyes. I'll have to make a work of it when it's over."

The painter, grumbling that the creature didn't fit on the camera screen, lightly tapped his earring.

They didn't think of the huge being in front of them as a wall.

It was just a high and huge stepping stone that would help them soar.

"Hahaha! How about it? Isn't it amazing?"

The moment they finished preparing for the fight, Gaudi appeared in front of them, leading his tired body and numerous knights and priests.

Gaudi's eyes, looking at Crowley, were glistening with madness.

"Crowley!!! I lost in the fight, but I won in the match! You will eventually be unable to overcome the power of the divine beast and will be destroyed along with the Earth!!!"

"Hoo, you're very confident."

At Arachne's words, Gaudi shouted.

"Of course! My family's divine beast, Leviathan, is a LV. 6 master-class great monster! It has a power that you guys can't even dream of!"

Gaudi, who had shouted that, spread his arms wide to the left and right as if to show off.

"On top of that, there are 80 knights and priests who are LV. 5 expert-class, and there are also 10 LV. 5 master-class knights!"

A smile of victory was on Gaudi's face as he looked at them.

"What are you guys, who are far behind both in number and quality, going to do!"

"It's simple."

At Gaudi's words, Crowley answered lightly as if it were nothing difficult, and then took out several disc-shaped artifacts from his subspace and installed them on the ground.

Then, the discs activated and created a vortex of bright light, a portal.

Then, from each portal, members of numerous guilds such as [Lion], [Wonderland], [Magic Tower], [Sabbath], [Judgment], [Underworld], and [Meister] came out of the portal and took their places.

"Is this China? Wow, it's really all in ruins."

"Is Lee Shin-hyung somewhere here too?"

"Where's that thieving cat!"

"Ugh, thieving cat…"

"…I've never seen those two get along so well."

Although there were also guys who should be called a third force.

"Reinforcements."

Crowley said, looking at Gaudi.

"Now, we've solved both."

Of course, it was not enough to say that it was solved.

Because with the guild members' original skills, they could only be swept away by them.

They were not enemies of a level that could be entrusted to them from the beginning.

But the current guild members had combined the power of each guild to complete various combinations and had raised their skills with high-end artifacts.

On the contrary, the enemies were tired from just finishing the summoning ritual, and their combination was only knights and priests.

There is a chance of victory.

The moment Crowley, who had judged so, was about to jump towards Leviathan.

"Eh?"

Arachne's small voice caught his step.

Normally, he would have just ignored it and gone.

But the moment he heard Arachne's voice, a strange sense of unease brushed past the back of his neck and caught his foot.

"What is it?"

"Well…"

Arachne said, looking around.

"I just realized, but Lee Shin oppa and Alice unnie are not here."

At Arachne's words, everyone, including Crowley, looked around, but they were really not there.

'Come to think of it, because of Leviathan's presence, I couldn't pay attention to their presence when I came…'

"…Since when were they gone?"

"…I traced my memory, but they were gone from the beginning."

While they were muttering that, Crowley, who had thought of a possibility, had a blank expression for a moment, then his face hardened and he said.

"That crazy bastard, could it be…"

It was the harshest expression Crowley had ever used in his life.

◎ ◎ ◎

Summon Leviathan and Behemoth using Gaudi and Jahangil.

Since Raven is cooperating with them, Ziz will be summoned later.

Two are the limit of what they can do now, and unlike the other two, Ziz, who can fly, needs to be more wary.

Thinking that, they decided to summon only two monsters for now, then chose the monster each would face and divided the personnel in half.

"Hmm, I think I made the board quite well."

As Lee Shin wanted.

Lee Shin hummed lightly, listening to the huge roar of Leviathan coming from afar.

One of the reasons why Lee Shin had poured out so much information to them on the phone last night was to take away their room to think.

Because the longer a person thinks, the more they tend to deviate from their original purpose and have useless thoughts.

'And it would be troublesome if that useless curiosity were directed at me.'

Because if someone were to watch Lee Shin, thinking, 'I wonder if that guy will stay quiet,' a situation quite different from Lee Shin's plan could be created.

Haa-

"So I was careful to act without being noticed by anyone, but…"

Lee Shin said, looking behind him.

There, Cheon Yuhwa stood, glaring at Lee Shin with sharp eyes.

"How on earth did you know and come here?"

"Do you know how long I've been watching you? Think of it as your karma."

"It's a bit unfair to blame me for what the future me did."

"You've done such a ridiculous thing, and you're still talking so shamelessly."

At Cheon Yuhwa's words, Lee Shin let out a small sigh as if disappointed.

"I wanted to eat it all by myself, can't you just go back? I've prepared a lot for you guys too. I've given up two out of three."

"Not a chance. What do I have to trust you to go back?"

Lee Shin tried to persuade her peacefully, but as expected, it didn't work at all.

And it was impossible to run away to another place, as Raven had already opened the gate here and started the ritual of summoning the divine beast after calling the knights.

Having tried to think of various ways, but with no ideas coming to mind, Lee Shin could only grumble with a sigh.

"How on earth did you know and find me. Just in case, when you guys teleported, I pretended to go by putting my hand on the choker too. As soon as I came here, I took off the choker, so you couldn't have known my location."

"Do you think I'd fall for the same trick several times?"

Cheon Yuhwa said that and waved something in front of Lee Shin.

It was a screen that caught the signal of the receiver attached to the target, and it was a familiar object to Lee Shin.

Because it was the same object as the receiver attached to Gaudi and Jahangil.

'To think I'd be caught by my own trick.'

BEHAAAAAAA--!!!

While Lee Shin was blaming himself, the cry of Behemoth was heard from afar.

Although he couldn't tell well because it was far away, judging by the momentum, it seemed true that it was on par with Leviathan.

At that, Lee Shin looked at Cheon Yuhwa with an impatient face and said.

"That's my prey, so you can't take it."

"First come, first served."

"…You heard that from the future me, didn't you?"

Cheon Yuhwa didn't say anything, but from her expression, Lee Shin was sure that was the case.

'Sigh, if I think about it differently, this might not be so bad.'

One of the reasons why Lee Shin had caused such a big incident was that he wanted to see the true skills of the Ten Kings.

And among them, the one he was most curious about was Cheon Yuhwa.

Because unlike the others, she always moved with her skills in reserve and didn't show her true fighting style well.

The magic power was gradually trembling from the place where Raven was conducting the ritual.

At that, Lee Shin smiled, holding [Yagong] in his hand, and Cheon Yuhwa lightly clenched and unclenched her fists with a pair of rings on her middle fingers, looking at the place where the wave of magic power was flowing out.

"I'll take the knight side, so you aim for Ziz."

"What, you said you didn't like it, but you're giving me the delicious part?"

At Lee Shin's words, Cheon Yuhwa frowned as if displeased.

"I'm doing this because if you take it, you'll obviously annihilate them, not capture them."

"Hmm… it does seem a bit difficult to capture those guys."

"I'm not planning on capturing them all either. I'll kill the rest and just catch a few priests and a few knights in ornate armor."

Cheon Yuhwa said that and then looked at Lee Shin and said.

"You'd better finish it quickly before I catch all those guys. As I said again, first come, first served."

"Don't grumble that there's nothing to eat because you came late."

The moment the two finished coordinating their opinions.

A huge magic power spread out from the place they were looking at, and at the same time, a huge bird appeared, flapping its wings greatly.

The creature, covered in pure white feathers, flapped its two pairs of wings greatly, as if it were about to fly high into the sky at any moment.

Puhwaaaa--!!!

Then, a powerful whirlwind swept the surroundings, as if a storm had descended on Ziz's surroundings.

Taak-!

At that moment, the two moved.

Cheon Yuhwa, simultaneously with Raven's presence disappearing, created numerous light spheres the size of a head and literally bombarded the place where the knights were.

The thought of taking the guys who survived this attack was openly flowing from Cheon Yuhwa's eyes.

And Lee Shin took out a spear from the subspace of [Black Room] and held it in the opposite hand of the one holding [Yagong].

It was a throwing spear enchanted with lightning, named 'Thunder Lightning Spear', and it was an item that boasted tremendous penetrating power just by throwing it.

'But this alone is a bit lacking.'

Lee Shin activated [All For One] and used 10 Thunder Lightning Spears to strengthen the 'Thunder Lightning Spear' held in his hand.

Pajijijik--!!!

The lightning that had been flashing on the Thunder Lightning Spear was now rampaging inside the spear, so fiercely that it could be seen even by people far away.

"The first greeting should be flashy."

Simultaneously with Lee Shin muttering that, the spear held in his hand absorbed the lightning qi flowing from his hand and flew towards Ziz.

ZIAAAAAAAA--!!!!!

It pierced one of its wings.

The one that announced the start of the fight was Ziz's huge roar.
