The First Hero

Kater clearly has the power of a 9-star superhuman.

Even more so, this place is the Demon Realm, and he even has the Demon King’s Sword.

No matter how strong Aline has become over the past five years, it means that she’ll be normal as long as she doesn’t injure Kater, at least on this Pangea.

But Arlene just cut Kater’s cheek.

And that, too, in a way that makes it impossible to detect when and how the attack occurred.

This was absolutely impossible given the difference in level between the two.

‘I can’t even play it.’

Carter felt a great sense of incompatibility.

‘This… It’s not magical power.’

Not all divine powers are the same, but they still have their own unique feel.

Carter also knew that the power Arlin used was not a normal divine power, at least from the point of view of dealing with divine power through the demon king sword.

‘Alin has an unknown power… … .’

Carter became anxious.

Incredible life, and unknown power.

The important thing is that the person who wrote it was Martin’s favorite Arlene.

‘If you’ve gone down the wrong path… We have to make it right now.’

I moved my hand slowly.

I was thinking of putting it down and having a conversation.

But that was just then.

“It’s already budding faster than I thought, disciple.”

A clear voice came from behind.

Cater was startled and stopped his hand.

There is a presence, but I don’t feel any momentum, like a dead person.

‘Are you a transcendental person… … .’

It would be right to see it that way.

Carter carefully reached for the Demon King’s sword hanging from his waist. The mysterious person did not stop Carter.

Kater, who finally touched the Demon King’s sword, immediately raised the sword’s divine power. I was even astonished.

‘I can’t feel it.’

In Pangea, nothing caught his senses, which could be called a god.

Even though I knew there was someone behind me.

‘No matter how transcendental it is… … .’

You can see that the opponent is not just an ordinary transcendental person.

‘Least equivalent to Lamune.’

Cold sweat runs down your back.

Just when Kater was so nervous, Aline opened her mouth.

“It’s been a while, Mooyoung.”

“Heh heh, I should call him Master.”

Moo-young.

It is a strange name that is not used in Roden.

“I am not your disciple yet.”

“Hmm, that’s kind of mean. Nice to meet you anyway How soon will I see you?”

“You still have no concept of time. It’s been two years.”

“To say this much in just two years, you said you’ve had one disciple well, haha.”

“I said no yet.”

Carter was relieved at the conversation between Arlene and Muyoung.

Anyway, the relationship between the two didn’t look bad, and he didn’t show any hostility towards him.

Thinking that it was unlikely that they would attack recklessly, Kater slowly turned around and was able to see Moo-young.

‘Big.’

A giant middle-aged man.

Kater was also on the big side, but Moo-young was taller than him.

Being 3m tall doesn’t seem to be of human origin.

Moo-young, who was only looking at Aline while Kater turned around, finally turned her eyes to Kater.

“Hmm… It’s the rule of the Demon Realm, but it’s not the Demon King. He is a funny guy.”

It’s like looking at a child’s eyes.

Still, Carter wasn’t in a bad mood.

[…] Why did a transcendental person like you take Arlene as a disciple?]

“Is it strange that I took Arlene as a disciple?”

[Sure.]

I don’t know if it’s an apostle. I don’t know many Transcendentalists, but I’ve never heard of a Transcendent taking a mortal as a disciple.

Of course it’s bound to be weird.

But Moo-young said nothing.

“Alin isn’t the first to take a mortal as a disciple, so what?”

[You mean there are more?]

“okay. My first apprentice became the Champion of Roden after me. Well, he became a transcendent not too long after I taught him, but he was an extremely ordinary human when we first met.”

Kater’s eyes widened.

‘Follow me?’

If so, doesn’t that mean that Iza is also a hero of Roden?

You will naturally find out his identity.

There are a total of five warriors in Roden, including Martin.

Since Martin is not a disciple of the fourth hero, the fourth is naturally eliminated.

The second is Latun, and the third is Lamune, so this transcendental person in front of you is the first hero of Roden.

‘This is the great warrior… … .’

It was a very long time ago when Mu-young was active, but his actions were rather better known than those of later warriors.

Like the other heroes, it is true that he saved Roden from the invasion of the other world, but the ones he defeated were not demons or ordinary beings from the other world.

‘He said he defeated the demons.’

Even if it has only four horns, the devil who rises to the realm of the transcendent is a powerful enemy on a different level from the demons.

Nevertheless, Moo-young said that he defeated them without causing much damage to Roden.

This is the part that tells how powerful a warrior he was.

Like other warriors, Mu-young is called an ancient warrior, but perhaps because of that, many people see the time he was active as a mythical age.

However, such a Mu-young appeared in the world after 10,000 years.

‘That’s also Arlene’s teacher… … .’

Kater looked at Mu-young with trembling eyes, but unlike him, Mu-young was no longer looking at Kater.

“Disciple, it is time to move on to a new stage. Let’s go.”

As he waved his hand, space shattered and a portal was created.

Kater has seen many portals and gates so far, but Moo-Young’s portal was somewhat different.

“Little boy, then see you again.”

Moo-young slapped Kater on the shoulder a couple of times before entering the portal.

Aline, who had been silently looking at Kater, also quickly turned around and escaped through the portal.

[…] It seems like a dream.]

It was a pure sentiment that Carter felt when he first met Moo-young.

* * *

The place where Moo-young and Aline came through the portal was a white space with no sky or land.

It was an unusual space where a weak person would get mentally ill even if it took just one minute.

“At first you suffered so much, but now you seem to have fully adapted to my ministry.”

“Because I’ve been here several times.”

The first time Aline met Moo-young was when she heard the news that Martin had disappeared five years ago and was frustrated and unable to do anything.

-found.

Moo-young, who didn’t seem like a normal person from his size, broke into the LaMotte family without being noticed by anyone and looked down at Aline, who was crying.

‘It’s not a person.’

Arlene had an intuition that he was a transcendentalist like Latun.

She stared blankly at Moo-young and opened her mouth.

– Are you strong?

Strong and weak are relative. This is a question that can be answered differently depending on what the criteria are.

However, as soon as Alin asked, Moo-young answered right away.

– I am strong.

– How strong is it? Are you stronger than God?

-If the conditions are right, I can kill any god.

Seeing that confident look, Alin grabbed the hem of Moo-young’s trousers.

It was so desperate.

-Teach me how to be strong. I want to be strong too.

-Why do you want to be strong?

– Is the reason important? Didn’t you also come to me for a purpose?

– Still, I’d like to hear the reason. If the reason you want to become strong is not to my liking, I will not teach you even if I have to search for another thousand years.

-… There are people to kill just in case.

-Hmm… … .

Moo-young, who made eye contact with Aline for a moment, smiled as if her mouth would tear.

– Training will be easy.

– Will you teach me?

-okay.

– Can you kill a god if you learn that?

he replied.

-It depends on what kind of god you are. Even if they are transcendental, they are not all the same transcendentalists. It is the world of transcendental beings in which the ranks vary widely, from the lowest person who can die even to mortals to the creator god at the highest level.

Hearing the word creator god, Alin thought of a god who could become the target of revenge in the future.

-How about Roden?

-Roden is also a creator god. Putting aside his powers, he is one of the highest-ranking transcendentalists in the universe.

-I am your strength… … .

-It’s annihilation.

-Yes, if I learn about that dissipation power, will I be able to kill Roden?

-Creator uses something called creativity. It is a divine power that specializes in creating something.

The opposite of creation is annihilation.

Alin got a rough idea of what Moo-young’s power was like.

-You have the power to destroy something.

-I’m not just saying that… In essence, yes.

-Are there many transcendental people who have the power of extinction?

– I haven’t seen a single one.

Moo-young opened his mouth with an expression as if he was missing something.

– I originally enjoyed fighting. First in Roden, then wandering the universe in search of other Transcendentalists. But, after all, I’ve never been a demon.

-Devil… … .

– So I went to hell. I was able to fight a lot there.

Moo-young smiled.

-It was fun. I’ll never forget the thrill of defeating the four-horned demon, defeating the five-horned demon, and defeating the six-horned lord. Even when I killed the monarch after several challenges, I didn’t get the same pleasure.

-… … .

Arlene’s body trembled in an unknown chill.

-What I gained at that time was the power of extinction.

-okay.

-Actually, the name “Destructive Force” was coined by me. It’s the first one I’ve ever made, so of course it didn’t even have a name before.

-Did you build it that way because it is the opposite of creativity?

-Yes.

Arlene asked directly.

-What was the reason you came to see me?

-I set a goal after gaining this power. I decided to relive my unfulfilled dream in the world before I was brought to Roden. In order to achieve that dream, I needed someone who could learn and master the power of extinction.

-What is your dream?

– It’s to set up a door. I want to establish my own school like the great Shicheonma (始天魔). A school that all transcendentalists can look up to! However, although he had taught countless mortals and transcendentalists until now, none had mastered the power of extinction. I couldn’t even find a student who could learn the basics, let alone a disciple.

I feel like a strange transcendentalist.

-… Can’t Transcendentalists learn the power of extinction?

-Yes. Just as a creator god is born as a creator god, those who already have divine power cannot acquire the power of extinction. Too difficult for mortals to learn. For that reason, I have traveled the universe for a thousand years. Then I saw him just today.

– Who is he?

– He was truly an extraordinary transcendent. He had six horns on his head, but he was not a monarch. He looked stronger than any Transcendentalist I had ever seen. If the figure that appeared in front of me wasn’t just a spirit body, I would have challenged him.

Moo-young shook his head as if he was sincerely sorry.

– he told me. If you come here in a day or two, you will be able to find a disciple. I did as he said. He didn’t seem like a great person to talk nonsense about. And finally I met you

Muyoung’s eyes twinkled.

-A person who is not a transcendental person but can overcome the limit, and thus can taste the power of extinction in advance. A mortal with a temperament similar to mine. I’ve been looking for someone like you for a long time.

He held out his hand to Arlene.

– Become my disciple. make you stronger

Arlene didn’t hold his hand.

said instead.

-I can’t be your disciple because I have work to do. After I achieve my goal, I will become a disciple, so please teach me first.

– What do you mean?

Aline uttered the sincerity she hadn’t spoken before.

– There is someone waiting for you. If he does not return, I will kill the transcendents who made him with my own hands.

Moo-young, who had been watching Aline quietly, smiled and covered Aline’s head with her outstretched hand.

-Let’s do that.

It was the moment when Mu-yeong, the first warrior and the only god of extinction in the universe, decided on a successor.
