He couldn’t understand.

‘Why is he fighting as if he is fully prepared to stop existing?’

The techniques that Lukas used were threatening, but that was it.

They couldn’t kill him. This was a fact that Nodiesop was certain of.

In the end, the fight that he was sacrificing his very existence to prolong would only make his inevitable extinction a slower and more painful process.54055

‘If he had just given in and let me kill him here, it’s possible that he could have been given a bit of leniency.’

The hatred that the Demon G.o.d had for Lukas was extreme, to say the least, but the Sun Giant’s hostility was not at that level. There were even rumors that Lukas was on good terms with the Lightning G.o.d.

Therefore even if his soul fell into their hands, he might not be treated too badly. Nodiesop had said that he wanted to take his soul and put it into a livestock animal, but he knew that the chances of that actually happening were exceedingly low.

‘What is the meaning of this struggle?’

It was at that moment.

“…!”

Nodiesop couldn’t help but widen his eyes in shock.

Not because of Lukas. But because he felt something incomprehensible happen inside of him.

‘My power…?’

It had all been returned?

Nodiesop clenched his fist.

At that moment, it was possible for him to use the full extent of his Absolute powers.

All of the restraints and restrictions that had been placed upon his body had disappeared at that moment.

‘Did the Priestess use up all of her power?’

No, that shouldn’t be the case.

The first thing that Nodiesop felt at that moment was suspicion.

This was a natural reaction.

After all, if the chains binding someone were to suddenly disappear without a clear reason, the first thing that person would feel wasn’t happiness, but doubt.

Because of this, Nodiesop froze in the air for a moment.

And that was the exact reaction the Priestess was hoping for.

Rumble-

“…!”

In an instant, the Priestess appeared behind Nodiesop. Something that he didn’t notice until it was too late.

Her hair shined brightly in seven different colors, her eyes glowed white, and both of her palms were stretched towards Nodiesop.

“—Breath of the Rainbow.”

Flash-!

A powerful explosion of light erupted in the sky. It was so bright for a moment, the sky behind it appeared dark.

The light spread out like a curtain. It had reached the point where one would be able to see the light no matter where they were in the Heavenly Realm.

Crackle!

“Kuhh!”

The tremendous pressure exuded by the seven colored light crushed Nodiesop’s body.

‘So this is why she lifted the restrictions…!’

For this attack, the Priestess hadn’t just removed the restrictions around Dragon G.o.d Island, instead, she had also temporarily removed the restrictions that covered the entirety of the Heavenly Realm.

All in order to create an attack that even Nodiesop couldn’t defend against.

The Breath of the Rainbow forced Nodiesop down to the bottom of the ocean in the sky and even continued to directly push him out of the Heavenly Realm without losing momentum.

A fall from 10,000 meters above the sky.

After this tremendous fall, Nodiesop once again fell into an ocean. Only this time, it was the ocean on the continent instead of the one in the Heavenly Realm.

He was probably the first being in existence to sink to the bottom of two oceans in quick succession.

Lukas took a deep breath and turned to look at the Priestess. Then, after calming his shaking body, he opened his mouth.

“I didn’t need the help.”

“Right. It looked pretty dangerous to me.”

“You’ve lifted the barriers surrounding the entirety of the Heavenly Realm, not just the ones around Dragon G.o.d Island. Is this your true power?”

“Right.”

Lukas sighed softly.

“Nodiesop wouldn’t die from something like that. Your power is considerable, but he probably didn’t suffer much damage from your attack. He’s hurt, and he will want to vent his anger. This time, he might actually try to bring down this entire continent.”

“I’m sure you’ll think of a solution for this, Lukas Trowman.”

Lukas’ expression became cold at those words.

“You speak as if you know me well.”

“Of course, I know you well. I’ve probably heard about you thousands, no, tens of thousands of times.”

“Did you talk to Arid?”

“No. To your first disciple.”

“Ha-rin… Min Ha-rin was definitely not relaxed enough to have such a long conversation with you.”

In addition, they had only been in close contact with each other for around a week. They might not have even gotten the chance to talk a few times, let alone a few thousand.

The Priestess burst into laughter at that moment.

“Hey. She’ll get sad if you say something like that. Or did I say it wrong?”

“What?”

“Have you already forgotten? The first disciple you ever had.”

“…”

The eyes of Lukas, who had been looking at the Priestess carefully, gradually began to widen.

“No way…”

“I am the source of every Dragon in the entire multiverse. All Dragon races are just branches that stem from me. And when any member of the Dragon Race dies, even if it might take a bit of time, their souls will cross time, dimensions, and universes before eventually returning to me.”

“But that child… was only a half.”

The Priestess simply smiled at him.

Then her hair slowly became green.

“…”

“…”

Their gazes were locked together.

The Priestess, who had now had green hair, looked at Lukas with an indescribable expression in her eyes.

“A-, ahaha.”

The slightly shy laugh was very familiar to him.

“I didn’t want our reunion to be like this, but…”

“…”

“Still, it’s nice to see you again.”

…She was.

That child who’d become the leader of a secret organisation even when she was clearly not ready for such a role.

However, she was a child with one of the most wonderful, n.o.ble, and beautiful personalities that Lukas had ever encountered.

At the same time, she was the child that had remained as lingering resentment in his heart.

Because, in the end, she was the one he didn’t manage to save.

“…”

They didn’t have the time.

He also knew that this wasn’t the right time for this.

Nevertheless, Lukas was so moved that, for a moment, he forgot how to speak.

He’d never thought about a reunion.

Lukas had never thought too deeply about reuniting with anyone from his homeworld.

Because he knew how long and hard the road was. In a sense, it could be said that he’d intentionally avoided thinking about it.

This was especially so after he met Kasajin again and witnessed his changes.

That fact made him even more speechless.

At that moment, the being standing in front of him was not someone who knew the Absolute Lukas, but the Great Mage Lukas.

Lukas called her name softly.

“…Beniang.”
