With a 'crash-' sound, the barriers began to collapse.

Pieces of the barrier crumbled in all directions, causing an earthquake that shook the ground.

In such a situation, Hajoon narrowed his eyes and looked at the dimensional dungeon with an annoyed expression.

'This is quite bothersome…'

Although Hajoon was reducing the number of monsters falling from the dimensional dungeon, a few wyverns that had evaded Hajoon's hammer were still circling in the air.

These wyverns were turning their direction, attempting to escape outside the capital.

'Can I catch them all?'

The reason he released the time stop whenever he caught those floating in the sky was to enlarge the hammer.

When Hajoon swung the hammer, he would enlarge and lighten it before swinging and then return it to its original weight.

He didn't plan to miss any, but there was a chance that Hajoon might not see and miss some, allowing them to escape outside the capital. Thus, Hajoon hurried to move.

That's when it happened.

The voice of Andre, the president of the American Heroes Association, came through the earphones plugged into Hajoon's ears.

-Irregular, this is President Andre.

"Yes, I can hear you."

-We will switch to defending the formation. Our association's agents, magicians, and heroes in the rear will intercept the monsters trying to escape outside the capital.

Naturally, the association had also anticipated the worst-case scenario of the barriers breaking.

The moment the barriers broke, the heroes in the rear, instead of the barriers, focused on intercepting the monsters trying to escape outside the capital rather than those pouring out from the dimensional dungeon.

-However, this means that the interception of monsters falling from the dimensional dungeon will decrease. Is that okay with you?

"Yes, it's fine."

Although Hajoon knew what President Andre was worried about, he had no concerns.

In fact, with those in the rear taking some of the burden off Hajoon, he was free to move as he wished.

"Now, then…"

The interception towards the center of the dimensional dungeon decreased, and the number of monsters crossing over suddenly increased.

Among those groups, Hajoon once again enlarged his hammer and swung it towards the flock of wyverns soaring in the sky.

Whoosh! Crack!!

The flock of wyverns swept up by Hajoon's enlarged hammer plummeted to the ground.

Between them, a few managed to evade Hajoon's hammer and escape outside the capital, clearly visible at a glance.

Of course, there were only a few dozen at most.

Probably, the heroes in the rear could block that number of monsters.

Therefore, Hajoon decided not to worry about the rear and freely moved as he pleased.

'Maybe it's time to speed things up.'

Description: Defeat the monsters pouring out from inside the dimensional dungeon.

The quest kill count was rising quickly.

Since it had come to this, Hajoon decided to raise his level before Lain defeated the King of Elves.

Of course, before that.

"Should I test the newly acquired skill?"

Whirr! Whirr!

Since a while ago, an inexplicable vibration had been emanating from Maharazu.

The newly unlocked skill by Hajoon, 'Time Duplication'.

The shock of the magic unleashed by the King of Elves must have been stored entirely in Maharazu.

'Given that I've received it, I should return it.'

Hajoon took a stance, looking at the dimensional dungeon.

He then swung Maharazu towards the dimensional dungeon, activating the skill.

Boom!!!

Simultaneously, with the sound of air bursting, a massive shock flew into the sky, tearing through thousands of monsters pouring out from the dimensional dungeon.

Ding-

Beyond the dimensional dungeon, in the mountains surrounded by forests.

There, numerous monsters and elves riding wyverns were heading towards the opened gate.

However, Lain floating in the sky paid little attention to them.

He believed that the Irregular waiting outside would take care of the monsters.

He only needed to focus on the elf in front of him.

[Leanon...]

The King of Elves, Hermorus, gritted his teeth in an unwelcome situation.

He knew that the Dragon King would target him since the human king was dead, but there was one thing he hadn't anticipated.

'Is it still not enough...'

After the Dragon King was sealed, Hermorus, along with the human king, had slaughtered all the dragons to obtain dragon jewels.

The staff that Hermorus currently held, precisely the blue crystal attached to it, was such a thing.

The dragon jewel, called the life force of all dragons.

Yet, the power of the king in front of him far exceeded his expectations.

He had poured hundreds of spells at the girl in front of him, but he couldn't make even a scratch.

[The dragons wanted peace, Hermorus.]

That's when it happened.

A giant eye appeared as space next to Lain ripped open.

[You have committed a sin that should never have been done.]

Before the war of annihilation began.

Two kings had sealed the Dragon King, who did not involve himself in the affairs of the world.

The situation feared in the war of annihilation was the intervention of dragons.

The kings also knew why.

Why dragons did not involve themselves in the world.

The intervention of the most powerful dragons would disturb the balance of the world.

[Listen, King of Elves.]

Crash!!

Soon after, space ripped open again.

Leanon began to further widen the torn space with a destructive aura.

From beyond the space, a massive wave of magical energy flowed out like a tide, dispersing in all directions.

The king of dragons, the black dragon Leanon.

He revealed his true form through the torn space.

[Your race will suffer for an eternity.]

Whoosh!!

With those fiercely whispered words, he emerged from the space, flapping his gigantic wings and floating in the air.

A single flap of his wings created a typhoon that swept through the surrounding trees and elves.

[You will suffer endlessly until you slowly go extinct. Not a single one will be spared.]

Crash- As those words ended, Leanon's mouth opened wide.

Soon, terrifying black flames were spewed from his mouth towards Hermorus.

Kwaaaang!!

The black flames that could burn everything swept around, engulfing Hermorus entirely.

In the midst of the flames rising in all directions, Hermorus protected himself with a barrier and then reached his hand towards the ground.

Kukukukung!!

At that moment, the ground rumbled, and a gigantic tree rose behind Hermorus.

It was the World Tree, called the first tree that gave birth to the elves.

As the World Tree rose, particles of magical energy with a faint silver hue began to emerge from it and started to be absorbed by Hermorus.

The moment an incredible magical power flowed from Hermorus's body, he boldly shouted towards Leanon.

[Try to kill me if you can, Dragon King! I will not die easily!]

Simultaneously, four gigantic magic circles appeared in the sky.

Before the dimensional dungeon opened, these circles, similar in scale to the magic circles that appeared in each national capital, manifested.

However, the magic to be unleashed from the magic circles in front of him was close to 'destruction'.

Kukukung!!

Soon, meteorites of a massive scale emerged from the four magic circles and rapidly fell towards Leanon and Lain.

Lain looked indifferently at the meteorites falling from the sky and simply reached out his hand towards them.

At that moment, the four meteorites colliding in the sky shattered and dispersed in all directions.

Lain, watching the debris of the meteorites scatter, clenched his outstretched hand.

That's when it happened.

The debris of the meteorites that had been scattering suddenly stopped abruptly.

Soon, the meteorite debris began to gather as if drawn by some force.

[?!]

Hermorus's eyes widened in surprise.

The gathered meteorites boasted a size several times larger than the ones he had just summoned.

He could soon tell where the gigantic meteorite would head.

Whoosh!!!

The meteorite, emitting a booming sound, began to fall again.

But this time, it was headed not for Lain but for the World Tree summoned by Hermorus.

Thud!!!

Soon, the meteorite collided with the World Tree, and fragments of the World Tree and the meteorite scattered in all directions, pouring down on the monsters.

The death throes of numerous monsters echoed from all directions, creating a scene like hell as the surrounding trees burned.

And Hermorus, with his pupils shaking as if an earthquake had occurred, was watching such a scene.

Slowly, Hermorus's head turned towards the World Tree.

The World Tree, split in half by the meteorite's collision, was now entirely engulfed in flames.

In that situation, a massive shadow covered his entire body from behind.

When Hermorus turned around again, what he saw was Leanon's gigantic mouth, seemingly endless like an abyss.

Meanwhile, as Hajoon was killing monsters and leveling up, a hero's shout directed his gaze towards the gate of the dimensional dungeon.

"Look, look at that! The dimensional dungeon!"

At that shout, all heroes' gazes turned towards the dimensional dungeon.

The scale of the giant gate opened in the sky was gradually narrowing.

Seeing this, the corners of Hajoon's mouth lifted slightly.

'It seems we've succeeded.'

Hajoon immediately used the gate to head to the United States.

Soon, he could see Lain emerging from the dimensional dungeon beyond America.

"Philaten."

-Yes, Hermorus's energy has disappeared. The gate will close soon.

At those words, Hajoon nodded and moved again.

Hajoon's next destination was England.

-Lain has emerged from the American dimensional dungeon!

-The dungeon's gate has begun to close!

-The giants in Korea and England have started to collapse!

Cheers erupted from the underground operations room along with the agent's report.

The dimensional dungeon had begun to close.

They had managed to block the massive influx of monsters and still had zero casualties.

Kim Jeongyong's eyes trembled with emotion as he looked at the monitor.

'We did it...'

Just as Hajoon had said, the situation unfolded.

Following Hajoon's words to not let anyone die, they had recorded zero casualties as the dimensional dungeon began to close gradually.

Association Chairman Kim Jeongyong immediately picked up the radio to contact Hajoon.

"Student Hajoon, this is Chairman Kim Jeongyong."

Soon, Hajoon's voice came through the radio amidst static.

-Yes, Chairman.

"We did it, Student Hajoon. The giants have also suddenly collapsed, and now the remaining monsters only need to be subdued."

Kim Jeongyong's voice trembled with emotion at those words.

To which, Hajoon simply chuckled and replied.

-That's fortunate.

"The subjugation of the remaining monsters can be left to the heroes on the scene. You've worked hard, so now you can rest easy."

-......

A moment of silence followed over the radio.

Soon, a sigh flowed through the radio, and Hajoon responded.

-Sigh... I still have things to do. See you later.

"What? What do you mean..."

-It will be over soon. I'll contact you later.

"Excuse me? Student Hajoon?"

Kim Jeongyong, puzzled by Hajoon's words, called out to him several times, but there was no reply.

As he looked at the radio with a bewildered face.

An agent's report made his eyes widen.

-President! We've received a message from England! The Irregular is currently-

On a barren rocky terrain devoid of a single blade of grass, a giant giant sat on a rock, looking down at the boy approaching him.

A human, inheriting the magical power of King Horton.

That human, carrying Maharazu on his shoulder, was leisurely walking towards him.

The king spoke in a subdued voice to the human.

[I have retracted the magical power of the giants.]

Simultaneously, an incredible magical power surged from the giant's body.

The king looked down at the human before him and continued.

[Did you enjoy the diversion?]

At those words, golden magical power rose from Hajoon's body.

Soon, the corners of Hajoon's mouth, looking up at him, slowly lifted.

Hajoon replied, looking at him.

"Yes, thanks to you."
