Max Level Miscellaneous Character

In his outstretched hand, the thunder god’s hammer was caught. A symbol of destruction that felt as if dozens or hundreds of lightning bolts had been compressed appeared.

Nature’s wrath. Ivan, who had an enormous power in his hand that could be described as such, bit his teeth tightly.

Crack!

It’s heavy. Too heavy. It really feels like lifting a mountain. Mortals seemed to be weighed down by a transcendent presence they could never handle.

It was a weapon that could literally represent a myth, which could break the bones of countless giants. It wasn’t something that mortals could handle carelessly.

Chiik!

Ivan heard the sound of burning flesh. It was not easy to hold the handle of the hot hammer. If he held it for a long time, it seemed like it would burn even his own body.

In that pain, Ivan moved. His biceps muscles swelled greatly, and tendons bulged out.

He struck down a light hammer for a thunder god but too heavy for a mortal.

As if lifting the sky and pushing the sea away.

A symbol of destruction representing a myth appeared here. The power to destroy the enemies of the world appeared.

Mjollnir means to destroy.

Bang!

The ground around Ivan sinks. The monsters surrounding him were crushed by enormous force and burst out. Then lightning struck from the sky, following the sound of the hammer, and spread out in all directions.

The presence of the thunder god is felt everywhere.

His heavy gaze seized even the soul.

Hundreds of monsters lost their lives instantly, and those who survived trembled in fear. Seeing the thunder god’s wrath, they came to their senses and escaped from the demon’s power.

They dare not to fight. How can one attack God? Because they were irrational and instinctive monsters, they became terrified.

-Keeeeek!

There were still many monsters that survived, but now they had lost their fighting spirit. Ignoring even the demon’s power that whispers to them, they started to step backwards.

Thump!

The monsters, terrified, turned around and started to run away into the forest. Those who failed to do so committed suicide by banging their heads against the wall.

It was difficult to handle the gaze of the transcendent.

People watching it from the side closed their mouths all at once. They didn’t know what to say.

They knew that the great transcendence god had swept through this place and that he had displayed his majesty for a moment. They just exclaimed in admiration at the fact that it was an achievement from a single human.

In particular, the reaction of the priests was intense. Even if the gods they worshiped were different, they couldn’t not have known how great the events were before.

This was the power of God. Great, majestic, and wonderful, the power of the Transcendental.

They knelt on the spot and prayed with a renewed faith in them. The divine power that had descended to the bottom rose anew and spread in all directions. The wounded soldiers were healed, and the exhausted body was revitalized.

And then they realized. That the battle was won, that the night which was like a nightmare ended, and the morning came again.

The battle is over. The dark clouds that had covered the sky were scattered, and they could see the sun rising faintly in the distance.

“It was an overkill. There was no need for that.”

Irene said coldly to Ivan, who was being treated for his bare right hand.

The surviving knights and soldiers were noisy talking about the miracle they had seen the night before, but she judged it rationally. She pointed out that it had been a futile sacrifice to Ivan.

“There was no problem in defending the fortress. Even with a little sacrifice, we would be able to win in the end.”

“Probably.”

“Why did you do that when you knew? It will be more difficult when you’re in that shape. It’s better to save your strength than to save a few soldiers.”

Ivan’s right arm, which was holding Mjolnir, would have been completely burned out if he had added a little more power. The vessel of divinity, which was slowly recovering, was also shocked by the events of a while ago.

Ivan couldn’t just say it was beneficial in many ways. Even he didn’t know that. Still, he answered calmly.

“I just wanted to. Actually, I had no intention of sacrificing for the sake of the soldiers. I just got annoyed, so I gave it a try. I just wanted to knock everything over.”

Irene narrowed her eyes, looked at him, and smiled.

“Yeah, that’s right. Sometimes that’s how it is.”

Sueup, hoo-.

There was something strange about what she said as she breathed out the tobacco. But Ivan turned his head. Soon his arm was almost completely restored thanks to Delfino’s generously pouring his power.

The Life Orb was very effective in healing these physical wounds. His arm, which had become ripe, quickly returned to normal.

“By the way, it will be difficult to leave for the forest today. There are a lot of wounded people who need to be treated. The plan to get better by resting for one night has also been ruined.”

Ivan looked around after hearing Delfino’s words.

The priests of the Kundara Temple were running around and treating the injured. A look of tiredness was evident on their faces.

It didn’t look good. Still, the enemy’s power was formidable. They had to go into the forest in such a tired state to become prey.

“It’s difficult.”

From the enemy’s point of view, it was a very effective strategy. By releasing the demonic energy and pushing the monsters, the power of the allies was greatly reduced. They also tied their feet.

Considering that their purpose is to earn time to conduct the ritual stably, they are playing perfectly as the enemy intended.

They couldn’t do this, and they couldn’t do that. As Ivan was thinking about it, a paladin who was listening to the story abruptly stood up and shouted.

“We must leave some of the priests here to heal the soldiers, and the rest should go into the forest! We cannot give up like this!”

They did not forget their comrades who died miserably in battle with their enemies. They didn’t even forgive the enemies who were insulting even their brother’s corpse. Vengeance was burning in the hearts of the Paladins.

Ivan looked troubled, but he couldn’t stop them. Although they respected Ivan and followed many of his opinions, they did not become his subordinates.

Strictly speaking, the Kundara Temple hated the demon worshipers the most, and it was these people who were most eager to pursue them. Ivan had no justification to stop them.

“The enemy is very strong. Dozens of priests and paladins can’t even resist properly. We are fewer than that, and we are exhausted, so going into the forest like this would be a futile way to lose our lives.” Ivan said in a low voice. He gave a warning, but the Paladins shook their heads.

“If we stay like this, we will eventually have to face a greater risk. And we never forsake our brothers. We will get our brothers back. Whether they’re alive or dead.”

Delfino also had a troubled expression on his face, but he nodded his head.

“You’re right. If you don’t stop the ritual, terrible things will happen.”

Summoning a demon close to the Great Demon, opening the Demon Gate, and the collapse of the dimensional barrier.

Either way, it was the worst-case scenario. They couldn’t just watch it happens.

“When will the additional troops arrive? I know how you feel, but if you are isolated, you will just increase the fresh offerings to your enemies.”

The fortress commander replied that it would take two days in order for a new army to be formed and deployed here and to gather talented people who will enter the forest. It is not enough.

The priests of the Kundara Temple also spoke two days. When they split, tracking the enemy, many pursue the other side. It was expected that they would take quite some time to return.

“Two days is too long. That’s enough time for us to be wiped out three times. You should think of your will and ability separately.”

The Paladins said with a firm face at Ivan’s negative attitude.

“Then we’ll go inside alone. There’s no reason for you to take such a risk. Thank you for your help so far.”

Watching those who bowed their heads, Ivan put on a confused expression.

‘Do I really have to let it go like this? Is it right for them to leave alone?’

Then, after a long time, he heard a notification hitting his head. And a translucent window appeared, prompting him to choose.

The content was simple. Go into the forest. Defeat the demon incarnation and prevent the demon from being summoned.

Ivan, who was looking carefully with his arms crossed, suddenly confirmed the reward and frowned.

The awakening of the blood sword Brika was revealed as the reward.

Woo-.

Ivan took the blood sword Brika from his body and held it. Awakening the sword, he didn’t know what it meant.

Jiying-.

I felt a tremor when I brought Brika to my forehead. The spear of the lost warrior, leaning on his shoulder, resonated with the trembling.

Why the hell are these guys shaking? Do you want to go to the forest right away?

At that time, the one-eyed demon-like figure who was looking down from heaven bowed down. The wanderer’s God reached out to show him the way.

You insignificant and my foolish warrior.

You do not intend to borrow my power by calling my name.

Ivan heard such a hallucination. And Ivan realized that he was in a high place, a glorious and great place.

A ceiling made of golden shields passes by the girders made of spears. There was a supreme seat under the sterling silver roof.

Hlióskjálf, the throne of Odin.

When Ivan looked down from that supreme place, he could see everything in the world at a glance. Everything was as clear as it could be grasped by the hand.

Odin looked at one of them.

Broken walls, broken gates. Blood and corpses scattered here and there, traces of battle. In the forest that spreads beyond that fortress. An old ruin is sleeping inside. Things that happen there.

Ivan looked down at it with the vision of the great Transcendent. He looked down with a divine sense.

In the deepest part of the ancient ruins, an evil person who had given up being a human and self-declared to become a demon incarnation, finally stripped of his human skin and living as a corpse, was seen.

The incarnation of the devil, who had reached a level great for mortals and insignificant for immortals, suddenly looked up at the sky. He tried to reach the realm of God.

Feeling the barrier, Odin reached out his hand to remove it.

Then Ivan suddenly realized that he wasn’t Odin. The real Odin looked at him and said.

Little warrior, return to the earth now.

“Ugh!”

Ivan suddenly lowered his head and let out a rough breath. His body trembled, and cold sweat ran down his body.

People around him did not understand it. It was difficult to grasp the transcendental events that passed by in a very brief moment.

“Ivan! What’s wrong?”

Ivan didn’t answer. He just wiped away the cold sweat. He was also very confused.

‘What was that just now? As if I became a god…’

Ivan had chill goosebumps all over his body.

He couldn’t believe that he had mistaken himself for Odin for a very brief moment.

“Your expression is not good. Are you okay?”

As Ferocious Tooth began to guard the surrounding, Ivan barely came to his senses and waved his hand.

“It’s all right, so far.”

Forcibly calming his mind and hiding his expression, Ivan opened his mouth. There was something more important than that now. He had to tell what he had confirmed when he sat down on Odin’s throne and looked down at the world.

He said while looking at Brika, the sword of blood still trembling.

“Inquisitor Pierre Lorraine is still alive.”
