“Kuhaha!”
Reinhardt, who had become a spectator and watched the fight, laughed loudly. Next to him were the executives of the Zeus Guild, except for Michael. There was anxiety about someone recognizing them so all four of them were wearing black hoods.
“Both of them are no joke.”
Damian nodded at Cappuccino’s words. All of these movements were high level movements. The Zeus Guild executives were the leading players of Arkstar so they could grasp the skills of the two fighters at a glance. The two of them could only be expressed with two words.
‘Excellent skills. It is also by a considerable amount.’
In the beginning, the scene of them exchanging punches gave people goosebumps. Some media outlets referred to Dark Wolf as someone who relied on items, someone who overly relied on skills, or a lucky person who ate a Star Fruit by chance. They also disparaged him as someone who was very weak against other players, but it seemed this needed to be revised. In particular, the last attack where he faked out the opponent by throwing the fork spoon and appearing behind Gyeonso Dragon to create the huge explosion made people sweat.
Damian’s back was still wet.
‘By the way, why use a fork spoon as a weapon?’
Damian never imagined that the ‘spear’ that knocked down Minotaur was actually this fork spoon. Meanwhile, Reina was silently watching the smoky stadium. Her tongue licked her lips. “...I want him.”
Despite the large hood, her crossed legs stood out. She wanted them. No, she wanted to have Dark Wolf, who showed off superior skills while wearing a mask full of wild beauty. It was really crazy.
‘It is the man who bought Minotaur’s Heart from me that day.’
She had definitely felt something strange at that time. There was an unknown feeling that she had seen him somewhere before. Perhaps the only person in the world who had heard his real voice was Reina.
‘A sexy voice full of dignity. Hah, it is really crazy.’
By the way, Reina was very active in Dark Wolf’s fan cafe called ‘Wolf’s Temptation.’ In a fan cafe with over one million members, she was an outstanding member who decisively pursued the star. The pictures uploaded there also came from Reina herself. She was closer than anyone else in the battle against Minotaur, so it was no wonder why she had so many photos. The funny thing was the photo that zoomed in on the giant wolf’s ass. Coincidentally, it was a great match with the name of the fan cafe.
‘I can’t do anything now. I will go to Metheus, chase him, and invite him to join the guild...’
“Kyaaah! Dark Wolf is truly cool! Amaaaaaaaazing.”
Then a voice said, “You tried to fight someone like that.”
“I was lucky. Lucky.”
“Yes, Taehyeon. You should be glad.”
“Opp, did you want to go against Dark Wolf?”
“No, it was just by chance... it is nothing.”
Reina’s gaze turned to the people next to her. Coincidentally, the Icarus Guild was sitting right there. She knew their faces because she was in a lot of communities. They were pretty famous in the distant South Korea. Of course, they were a long way from the Zeus Guild.
‘By the way...’
Her gaze turned to Mido’s upper body. Reina frowned as she saw Mido’s voluminous body. Then she looked back down at her own chest and her expression twisted.
“...Shit.”
If Reina knew it would be like this, she would’ve given herself more upper body volume when she first created the character.
‘...Should I get surgery?’
She was serious about this.

“He became stronger in the meantime.” Kerenos crossed his arms and watched the fight closely.
Around him were mostly faces he didn’t know, except for Crystal. Apparently, they helped with many things in Metheus while Kerenos was away in Windia.
“Groan. As expected, Father’s kicks are invincible,” the aforementioned Crystal, Kim Sujeong, spoke.
Choi Jeonghyun was wide-eyed beside her. “Oh my god. Is that really my father? I still can't believe it...”
The world would probably be turned upside down if the identity of his masked father was revealed. Once again, he couldn’t believe it. Dark Wolf was his father, his father was Dark Wolf. What was this...?
“As expected of the old man’s friend.”
“Birds of a feather flock together.”
“...Baroque. Fascinating.”
The Mukjeba Brothers and Bald Brothers had excited looks on their faces as they ate the corn snacks sold at the entrance. The one who was surprised was Park Seongchan sitting next to them. “Wow. I didn’t expect him to be so powerful. Uncle Jeonghyun, did you know?”
“No... that’s why I’m reacting like this now.”
“Wow, he’s hid everything from his family? By the way, why is he wearing a mask? Is this a concept to become famous?”
“I don’t know.”
Seongchan wondered, “Uncle, what do you know about Grandfather Chuntaek?”
“You brat, you’re so rude.”
Choi Jeonghyun flicked Park Seongchan’s forehead like he was scolding a spoiled nephew. Park Seongchan frowned and was silent. He had made a slip of the tongue.
“Wow~ Jackson is this powerful? Kerenos, will he accept if I ask him to be a knight again?”
The one sitting next to Kerenos was Edward, lord of Windia. He took a carriage here today to watch the finals. Kerenos thought it was unlikely, but Edward had a bit of a temper, so he was forced to agree. Kerenos sighed. “Who knows? His personality isn’t suitable for My Lord.”
“Bah. Wait and see. I will definitely make Jackson my knight.”
“Yes, yes, I will support you.”
Kerenos smiled at the motivated Edward and shifted his gaze back to the stadium. The smoke from the previous explosion gradually cleared.
* * *
Was it the end? It was a devastating explosion and Gyeonso Dragon was probably critically injured. I naturally didn’t receive any damage due to my resistance to fire. It was a calculated move from the beginning. If it wasn’t the case, I would’ve been crazy to cause a massive explosion from such a close distance.
At this moment, my super sensitivity was triggered. I couldn’t help opening my eyes at the familiar sound that came through my sensitive hearing. At the same time, a blue lightning dragon flew through the smoke. I reflexively avoided it, but it unfortunately brushed against my left arm.
[You have been hit by blue lightning.]
[The abnormal status ‘paralysis’ has been triggered.]
[The time left until the paralysis of your left arm is relieved is two seconds, one second...]
“Damn, he is still fine,” I complained. Another blue lightning dragon flew at me. I twisted as if I was spinning through the air to escape the second attack. However, it was the largest lightning dragon I had ever seen that emerged from the smoke. “This is crazy...!”
Gyeonso Dragon rushed in with the shape of the blue lightning dragon wrapped around him and I reflexively triggered Stone Skin. I received the full hit and felt my body being pushed by a huge force.
“Kuoock...!”
I was bounced away by the lightning and barely managed to open my eyes. My body was flying toward the outside of the stage. The attack was so powerful that 1/3rd of my health was consumed. I now had less than one-fifth of my health. It was time to determine victory or defeat.
I fired a cobweb to the ceiling and reduced my speed. I circled in the air and stood horizontally on the barrier. It was Spider Climbing, another one of a spider’s strengths. However, Gyeonso Dragon didn’t give me a break like he had expected it. I jumped quickly as Gyeonso Dragon punched the place where I had just been. Five parts of the barrier were destroyed, showing me his power.
...Crazy. How did Reinhardt stand up to this?
I probably would’ve turned to powder in one shot if I hadn’t activated Stone Skin in time. I stretched out another cobweb to the ceiling and crossed the stadium. However, there was a problem.
[Your cobwebs have been exhausted.]
“Dammit.”
It ran out at this important moment. Just then, Gyeonso Dragon turned around and attacked me in the air. It was a ranged attack where a large number of small lightning dragons were fired.
“...Crazy. Can you levitate?”
Looking closely, Gyeonso Dragon was floating in the air. Powerful blue lightning was supporting the ground and he was now literally a lightning dragon. I quickly released the cobweb and fell to the ground. At the same time, I activated a skill.
[The constellation skill: Black Night Wolves Summoning has been triggered.]
The bottom of the stadium was covered with thick fog and five huge black wolves rose. I landed lightly on the back of one of them and my heart throbbed.
“Kuek...”
[The Black Night Heart has started pumping.]
[After five minutes, there might be side effects.]
I commanded four black night wolves to attack Gyeonso Dragon. The showdown between the giant lightning dragon and giant wolves was like a scene from a movie.
[The wolf star, ‘Romelana,’ is watching you.]
I didn’t have time to greet Romelana. I triggered Black Night Arrow straight away.
[The constellation magic ‘Black Night Arrow’ has been used.]
A giant arrow appeared in my right hand. It was like a combination of a black vortex and white icicle. I looked back at the place where the fighting was taking place.
“How rotten. The wolves are no match.”
Maybe it was natural. Romelana might have the power of a first-grade constellation now, but she was only second-grade when she gave me this power. Meanwhile, Gyeonso Dragon’s Lightning Dragon’s Descent was Raitra’s killing move. It would be too much for the wolves to deal with a martial artist like Gyeonso Dragon. Even the ignorant Reinhardt had been beaten.
Three wolves were killed in an instant and I ordered the one I was riding to rush forward. It ran at high speed while I thrust forward the object in my hand. I wanted to approach him in order to avoid giving him a chance to dodge. The black night wolf I was riding ran up to Gyeonso Dragon and I could see his startled expression. Seizing the window of opportunity, I threw the object in my hand without hesitation and the Black Night Arrow flew forward, narrowly brushing past his shoulder.
In the first place, he wasn’t my target. The arrow swirled and turned into the mouth of a huge wolf and bit at the lightning dragon’s neck. Blue lightning and the black vortex collided and caused small black snow to fall on the stadium. They soon got tangled up and caused a huge explosion.
I was unable to support my body under the huge window pressure and flew back, rolling over the stage. Fortunately, I didn’t go out of bounds. I barely managed to get up and looked forward to see that all the black night wolves were gone. At the same time, the pressure on my heart stopped automatically.
“Pant.Pant... Did I win?”
Unfortunately, this wasn’t the case.
“Kuock!”
Gyeonso Dragon’s health was much lower than before, but there was still a quarter left. He walked over with blood still flowing from his left arm.
“Sigh. It is really painful. It would’ve been dangerous if I hadn’t used the power of the lightning dragon to protect my body. As expected of Brother.”
“...You are like a cockroach.”
He still had strength left as he walked over and raised the blue lightning once again. It was weaker than it used to be but it was still enough to defeat me. I was almost out of magic power. It was because most of it was put into the Black Night Arrow. It seemed I lost...
The only thing I had left was the wind magic power, but I couldn’t beat him even if I used it. Other than that, I had the power of Rising Sun around my legs. I looked at the sun fire around both legs and made up my mind once again. I should do what I could. I wouldn’t be Choi Chuntaek if I gave up like this. Even now, my kicking skills were still strong.
I didn’t have the magic power to use Stone Skin and the speed would be very slow, but I could still fight and somehow pull through if I aimed for a counterattack. I started stretching my legs. Then at this moment...
[World: A new Temple of the Wind has been completed in Metheus!]
“Huh?”
I received a message that the Temple of the Wind had been completed in Metheus. The meaning was obvious.
[Goddess Quest - Goddess of Revival and Wind, Huera’s Request has been completed.]
[The blessing of the Goddess of Revival and Wind has been granted!]
[The goddess has given you the ‘Eye of the Wind.’]
