  “Humans surely have no hope”


  The cold voice of L scattered in the dry winds of the Nevada wasteland desert. Even though all of the mutants’ dirty remains were thrown into the desert, L didn’t seem so satisfied.

  Toxic biological wastes flying in the air meant nothing to L.

  She stomped the ground, summoning dozens of hands that dragged the dirty remains of those monsters away.

  “Poor things ……”


  A moment of sadness shone through her eyes, however, as soon as she showed such a sign, she soon turned back to her stern face. She looked human but her change in emotion wasn’t.

  “They haven’t given up yet.”


  It was the indignation of a guardian in the face of humans stepping on taboo areas that they should not touch.

  The weapons that humans used against her now were of a similar kind to the root cause that the earth had to be separated into three dimensions.

  Between dragons, memories of ancient humans still exist. Dragons do not forget, so they transfer their memories through word of mouth. The words of the Dragon Road of the squadron who conveyed her memories of ancient people came to her mind.

  ‘The last thing the ancients wanted to conquer among the various races that made up the Mado civilization was life.’


  Is it because humans lived a life like that of a flame? Is that the reason for the endless inquiry? Humans were so short-lived that they tried to overcome them.

  Even though conditional immortality had been achieved through research, human greed still had never been quenched.

  Like Icarus, who soared endlessly and died with sunken wings.

  It was when human beings kept pursuing their endless research. The insect-type chimeras became so powerful and had already devoured the whole world. Now, something similar had been going on here on Earth.

  “I will have mercy. Humans.”


  Her eyes turned to the skies without a cloud. How much time had passed? A small dot is reflected in her pupil.

  “That is a dangerous toy.”


  L’s intuition, with thousands of years of experience and intelligence far beyond humans, was almost as predictable as the sixth sense. It was the first time she was seeing this, but she could soon figure out what that was.

  “Is that what nuclear missile is?”


  The worst weapon made by humans on Earth. Even one can erase a city off of a map and at the same time summon hell to where it landed.

  She could have avoided this using teleport, but she did not.

  It was not arrogance.

  It was the confidence that only an absolute who transcends everything could have.

  The wind gathered around her and a huge storm spanning over a hundred-meter radius occurred.

  In the meantime, it seemed like a dot and it quickly became close. It was a supersonic missile with a small 5MT nuclear warhead with a black streamlined body of about 9 meters.

  It was a small but destructive nuclear missile that could destroy one small country.

  However, L’s expression was calm, whether or not she knows about its destructive power didn’t matter.

  “Hmm, this should be enough.”


  Her own body of mana was not enough as of yet, so she absorbed the surrounding mana to the maximum limit. A round sphere of light appeared in front of her chest. It stabilized later by shedding a golden aura with hundreds and thousands of letters orbiting around it.

  “Go.”


  Baaang!

  Leaving her hand, the golden sphere flew toward the supersonic nuclear missile. As soon as they faced each other, L’s mouth opened.

  “Space of Vanity…… Orphan of Time”


  *Tuuuuunggg!*

  The supersonic nuclear missile, shrouded by the golden light, slowed down and stopped in the air.

  And at this moment, the control center that guided the missile went crazy. They tried to set it off so they would still be able to inflict a considerable amount of damage but no matter how many times they tried to push the button, it didn’t work and the warhead would not move.

  “Aiyaaa……”


  As L turned her finger, the golden halo began to shine brilliantly.

  “Go back to where you came from.”


  As she said this, the missile wrapped in the golden halo disappeared. After a while, the nuclear missile appeared in the air with a brilliant light over at the nuclear laboratory base where it was first launched and……

  *Flashing*

  It just exploded.

  #2

  Along with the vibrations ringing the ground, mushroom clouds, with orange ores, rose in the distance. Huge pillars of flame quickly rose through the clouds. Because it was so far away, only the head of the mushroom was visible, but it was not difficult to measure its destructive power.

  “That’s amazing.”


  L’s face looking at it became a little serious.

  When she listened to Baeklin’s story, she didn’t think much of it. She assumed little of humans who lost the magic essence, but the things she saw now was beyond the destructive power she imagined. If she faced that attack up front, she wouldn’t have died, but she would have been fatally injured.

  “I have to be careful.”


  She decided to change her mind about looking down on humans a little bit.

  But she did not intend to end this way. She just decided to be more careful.

  In addition, most of the pledges made with Baeklin were now broken. Now, she was able to use her true power.

  It is time to show the real power of dragons to humans.

  “I don’t know if it’s going to be good after not using it for a long time.”


  L closed her eyes.

  ‘Find it.’


  A golden wave began to spread all around her and soon, tens of thousands of small and large creatures were detected in her head. Some are flying in the sky, and others are resting in the ground. She could also see others who were fighting or eating.

  *Flashing*

  Her eyes opened wide like a reptile. At the same time, a great golden head popped up over her head. Its arrogant eyes with its brilliant golden scales looked around. After a while……

  A huge mouth that would easily devour a car was opened slowly, revealing hundreds of dense fangs. Inside was a hole large enough for a person to pass straight through. Then, the mouth raised its head toward the sky and let out a tremendous cry.

  “Kahhhhhh !!!”


  *BAANNGG*

  As the sands of the wasteland touched the soundwaves, it scattered into the air.

  If there were people around her, their eardrums would have burst and they would have fainted.

  The cry that began at the mouth of the giant Gold Dragon spread out everywhere.

  After a while, the gold dragon’s head disappeared. There, with her hand on her waist, L murmured, “Gather together, my army.”


  # 3

  The US Air Force base from before, now in ruins……

  The monsters that attacked the base of the old, now filled with desolate steel structures, there were once rumors of all kinds of aliens. Now, however, monsters of Tier 2 and Tier 3 have nested here, but they are only habitats of monsters that have settled on Earth and formed a small ecosystem.

  A group of Tier-5 shell-backed Basilisk monsters that were enjoying the sun and lying on the runway full of grass in the dry wasteland desert suddenly began to shake the ground, awoke from their place and began to be suspicious of their surroundings.

  “Krrrr”


  They dwelled on this hard runway to avoid predators.

  Hellworm, a seven-tier monster that eats them, crawled through the sand of a solid wasteland desert. The deserted takeoff road was the only place the Hellworm don’t come to since the landing of the ground was a few meters thick and it was too hard for them to swallow it.

  Now, they felt like their predator was going to appear. They became nervous but after a while, it did not appear. Hence, they loosened themselves up once again.

  Then suddenly, the heads of the shelled basilisks turned to one place in unison.

  Although it was only one meal for the Hellworm, when the dozens of shelled basilisks with 12 meters tall and 4 meters thick armor all turns to look at one place, it was intimidating.

  *Thump……thump……thump*

  And they began to move their massive bodies toward that direction like creatures under a spell.

  No, not just the shell basilisks. All monsters in the base crawled out of the place and began to walk. In the herd, there were predators and prey on the food chain.

  Creatures that would normally run away or chase each other were now walking side by side with their shoulders touching.

  Kugugugugu …… (rumbling sound)

  Somewhere in the desert, a long distance from the Nevada Air Force Base, the ground began to sway with low cries due to the absolute prohibition that the Hunter never stepped on.

  The sand swayed like it was dancing. There were dozens of such places where sands were shaking, which occurred when the Hellworms moved close to the ground. And……

  Kugugugu ……

  A sand dune sank down and summoned a sinkhole.

  “KWWWEEEEK!!!”


  The Hellworms who could not escape the sinkholes fell into them. Several Hellworms fell down and made a sad scream, but those that fell to the bottom of the black abyss did not rise up again.

  Kugugugugu ……

  Twelve small mountains rose around the sinkhole and interlocked.

  This tier-9 monster that dominates the Nevada desert…… was the worst monster aka. Death Worm that the mighty US gave up attacking even with a nuclear bomb. Luckily, the Death Worm was a coward for what it looked like, it did not go anywhere unless it was a sandy place.

  While relaxing deep in the ground, the Death Worm chewed on hunted Hellworms that were roaming above the ground. Then, it stopped at a shake of its soul.

  It is the call of the Absolute which cannot be denied.

  The instinct of obedience to the Absolute, engraved from ancient antiquity……

  Kugugu ……

  The Death Worm that just feasted on passing monsters finally started to move after years of inactivity.
