LIGHTNOVELWORLD chapter 208
208. The Second Salvation Myth of the Retired Returning Warrior (Complete)
+++
Gulp, gulp.
Doyoon tilted the bottle and swallowed the last glass of wine.
“Whoa… I must have finished drinking, I’m leaving.”
He muttered to himself for a long time in front of the broken statue of the goddess.
He too knew that it was meaningless. God sealed himself at the cost of creating the system and the cradle’s portal.
There is no God who blessed him. It seems that he became overly emotional ahead of the final battle.
No, maybe it was anxiety.
“…bless me.”
Do-yun put the empty wine on the floor and turned his back.
+++
The allied forces prepared for the retreat by clearing the forts, baggage, and wounded.
However, during the preparation, Do-yoon stopped acting.
“…”
He looked in the direction of the Demon King.
“Lord Enoch?”
Dokgo Moo-yeong asked with curiosity.
“…Stop preparing the retreat.”
“Yes?”
“Abandon all baggage and wounded, retreat at full speed.”
“What is that…”
Before the question was finished, Dokgo Moo-yeong’s head turned around. The higher-ranking apostles, including him, felt the approaching forces of Satan and hardened their faces.
“This, this scale… and this energy…!”
“Isn’t this on the same level as the demon king who descended on Muspelheim! How could the corps commander…!”
“Can’t win. The entire army retreats.”
Saying that, Doyoon walked in front of the fortress, in the direction Satan was approaching.
Whoever should be first, warriors lined up around him in an instant.
“Enoch-sama…?”
“Lion King, Holy King. You two follow me.”
Doyoon knelt down on one knee and said calmly to the two who bowed their heads.
“For the Union’s retreat, the two die on the spot.”
“Yes.”
Also, the two answered without hesitation.
Like that, Do-yoon made everyone retreat. He stood with the two warrior kings facing the enemy.
Do-yoon had two questions about this battle.
How did you create blue and red? Why didn’t Satan appear until the end?
‘…I underestimated the demon lord’s potential.’
it’s my ignorance Doyoon thought so.
But it was unavoidable. Who could have predicted this reversal from the experience of the 18th episode? But he was always willing to take full responsibility.
“sorry.”
The three of them looked at the front in an immovable posture and talked about their lives before they died.
“I put you to death.”
“Lord Enoch. We are allied forces. Our death is by the demon king, and it is for unity.”
“To die on the same battlefield as your sergeant. Go to the underworld and meet Hecleos, so you won’t be ashamed. Thank you for this honor. and…”
The King Seong, who spoke politely, looked back. There was one more person there.
“It seems that the child thinks so too.”
“…”
Doyoon, who was looking straight ahead without expression, closed his eyes. Then he turned around.
An expressionless Luna stood there.
“…”
“…”
The two women looked at each other.
Doyoon swallowed the words to go back, which were filled up to the bottom of his chin.
‘I shouldn’t say that.’
He is the head of the coalition.
Luna is a valuable force comparable to the two Kings of Braves, and perhaps even more. We must fight together in this place.
And she will die too.
“…”
Blood flowed from Doyoon’s lips. But he looked straight ahead again. Fortunately, he didn’t open his mouth in the end.
And with a much more emotionless face than before… He recited the strategy with a face as if his emotions had died.
“We fight. You cannot defeat the enemy with just these four. He only buys time and fights fiercely. And I escape at the end.”
he put his hand on his chest It was the Hearthstone that Dokgo Moo-young had handed over before Total War.
It is neither a mean judgment nor a selfish judgment. Without him there is no union. You can’t kill the Demon King.
It was a judgment that considered only the whole, excluding the feelings of wanting to die with these three.
And Luna, Seongwang, and Lion King will also be the responsibility and weight that Doyoon carries. As it has been countless times over the past 18 episodes.
“Yes.”
“Yes.”
The two answered with no regrets.
After some time passed, the enemy army finally arrived in front of my eyes.
A gigantic body over 10m tall, demon skin with countless thorns. A hideous face full of hate.
Satan, who has the same power as the demon king whom Enoch had defeated in the 18th round, came before them.
[Loose Volnik.]
he grinned.
An army of imps that stretched beyond the horizon, like a black sea, wriggled.
“…all troops, fight.”
Doyoon drew his sword. The King Seong clenched his fists, and the Lion King emitted heat.
Luna gripped the twin swords.
“And die. for unity.”
“”Yes!””
Thus, the Great Satan War began.
+++
48 hours passed.
The four fought endlessly. However, Satan did not even lay a finger on them, and the army of imps was still in sight. It didn’t seem to have decreased at all.
The King Seong and the Lion King died one after another. Doyun somehow managed to hold on with the [Immortality] skill and [Immortality] skill, but all his energy ran out.
With Busker’s help, he reached level 10 in swordsmanship. However, he couldn’t do much as he fought endlessly against the sea of upgraded imps. Even he was already very tired from the previous battle.
Unlike before, which was at the height of his waist, the reinforced imp had grown to 3m. The strength of each of them was comparable to that of an executive.
Doyoon felt Luna on his back. She, too, was injured.
Luna will die soon. It bought enough time for the Coalition to back down. It was time for him to escape.
“…”
Doyoon, holding the hearthstone in her hand, pondered, and eventually activated it by blowing mana into it.
The Hearthstone glowed. Even though Luna knew what was going on behind her back, her expression did not change.
She was willing to die for her father.
However, Doyoon pushed Luna away and threw a shining hearthstone at him.
“…?”
Luna widened her eyes.
“…you live.”

Just like that, as the return star emitted a glow, Luna’s figure disappeared.
There was only one Do-yun left on the battlefield.
He gazed at the sky for a moment.
‘…I’m sorry, Brudet. Busker.’
He told his friend to give up his children for the sake of union, but he himself is like this.
‘Now… I can understand your feelings, Busker.’
The child was a much bigger being than I thought.
‘…He’s done a terrible thing.’
He himself is the union, and his life is the existence of the union. He had abandoned the Union.
‘…no.’
The alliance is not abandoned.
will save everyone I will not die here, I will return alive, and I will save everything without giving up anything.
It’s an impossible task, but he’s determined to do it. If so, so be it. that was his will.
He took out the elixir and drank it.
In an instant, all the wounds on his body were healed, and tremendous power circulated through his bloodstream.
He, who was in a state of extreme awakening, captured all this energy. And burned the second heart of the heart.
[The ‘Magic Power’ stat temporarily rises. Current level: 9]
When all the energy was divided into two dragon hearts and captured, an accident occurred.
Each of the two hearts grew to an unprecedented size. Then, the dragon heart in the heart melted and returned to pure mana.
It flowed through the bloodstream and headed for Danjeon. And melted into the original heart.
Two hearts became one.
His eyes radiated.
aa!!
[The ‘magic’ stat will level up. Current level: 10]
The heart in its perfect form, and even surpassing that of the Dragon Lord, burned wildly.
he swung his sword. Hundreds of imps died at once from the pouring sword.
The evolved [Immortality] skill, a heart united by the realization of the elixir and battle, 10-level magic, and a burning will.
He fell into a trance.
[The skill ‘Swordsmanship’ has been leveled up. Current level: 11]
He continued to fight, but he couldn’t help it even as he entered a new realm.
Eventually Satan stepped in and his sword was broken. Completely exhausted, he was unable to defeat Satan, who had the power to match the demon king.
But he continued to fight as if he had a sword in his hand. I swung the sword without it.
At that moment, the trance-like Do-yoon finally reached the final realization.
“…!”
[The skill ‘Swordsmanship’ has been leveled up. Current level: 12]
A realization that seemed to penetrate the whole world.
what is will what is a god
The path of the sword has reached its end.
‘ah…’
But he sighed in sorrow.
Both arms and right legs were cut off in an endless battle. The eyes were already missing both sides, and organs were oozing out and dragging.
He lay down on a rock.
[Finally… I’m killing you.]
Satan. The man’s voice was heard.
[Die, Roosevolnik.]
The guy raised his hand.
At that moment, the world stopped.
Doyoon raised his head at the divinity that embraced him.
“…her.”
pleasure? Ando? I do not know. I felt no pain and felt comfortable.
[It’s been a while.]
Doyoon raised an invisible gaze.
“…long time no see.”
I spoke to a lofty being, but to a friendly one.
“god.”
The two talked.
“How did you help me? Wasn’t the Godhead not supposed to intervene in the mundane?”
That is why a god more powerful than the demon king could not actively protect the continent.
However, the demon lord is an intermediate being who is on his way to becoming a god in the body of a mortal. Because of this, he virtually reigned as the strongest in the present world. Of course, it wasn’t that there was no divinity, so it was indirectly regulated by the world, but it was enough to sweep the continent.
However, God judged that the continent could not be left as it is. Taking the penalty, he created the blessings of the system, a portal that attracts apostles from other dimensions, and a holy stone that protects each country. Those three were three miracles from God.
In return, their existence was sealed. But to appear in front of me like this and even help Do-yoon.
[Right. The Godhead must not intervene in this world.]
“But how?”
[However, interference between deities is much freer.]
“ah.”
Doyoon immediately realized the meaning of the words.
“…As expected, that realization just now…”
[After the Great Demon King, this is the second time in history. Congratulations on stepping into godhood with a mortal body.]
I understood what you meant. However, in his view, the situation was different from the story.
“Are you going to kill Satan and them? Are they of this world?”
[I haven’t done anything yet. Borrowing the world’s permission, I just stopped the flow of time. Nothing can be changed at this rate.]
“then…”
[I will only affect you. In a way that can be done without difficulty even with such a sealed body.]
“ah.”
[In a way familiar to us.]
Shin reached out his hand to Do-yoon, who understood what he was saying.
[You asked for a blessing in front of the stone statue, right? Here it is.]
Divinity dwelled in him, and a system window appeared in front of him.
[‘Blessing of Return (1 time)’ is applied.]
[You and the world return.]
“…Thank you.”
[May the warrior’s path be blessed.]
Doyoon put his clouded mind at ease.
And when you open your eyes
“…”
[Finally… I can kill you.]
Satan and his army were right in front of me.
I looked behind and to the side. The King of Stars and the King of Lions were resolutely lined up on either side, and Luna was holding out her twin swords.
The body was also fine. It goes back to before the battle.
But not everything was back to normal.
Law of Regression.
His memories and mana were passed down.
A huge heart felt in the Danjeon. and enlightenment.
“…”
Doyoon put the sword back in.
“…Lord Enoch?”
The three looked at him in wonder.

Jerk, jerk.

Hyeonsword (顯劍). ‘Bending’ with will expands the phenomenon.
The end of the realm reached with the help of many people, including Busker and Hecleus, was another world.
‘Heart sword.’
His will is his sword.
A divine voice commanded.
[Cut it.]
Războinic’s style of swordsmanship – character cutting
Then, his will changed the world.
The will itself created the phenomenon.
Lion King, Holy King, Satan, and even Luna. Everyone looked at them in astonishment, their eyes wide open.
horizontal grid. The bodies of the imps that filled the ground were split in two at once.
vertical grid. There were luminous solid lines on Satan’s gigantic body.
[OMG…]
Satan felt that his gaze was shifted in half.
Will created phenomena. There was no such process as swinging a sword there.
There was only the result of being cut.
The pupil disappeared from Satan’s eyes, and the sea of imps and the body of the demon king disappeared.
Doyoon walked briskly.
“I will kill the demon king and come back.”
I will come and save the world.
It sounded like that in the ears of those who were being saved.

[…]
The small demon lord looked at the man who had reached in front of him.
[…is this how it happened?]
Now he was a warrior who had entered the ranks of the gods.
Doyoon asked her.
“…Me and your daughter.”
[none.]
Another existence dwelling in the daughter’s body, the Great Demon King, answered.
[There is only you and me here, Rouge Volnik.]
“…”
Doyoon could feel it. The being in front of him was not the daughter he had encountered in Muspelheim.
source of evil. the most terrifying being. The culprit who brought pain to him and the people of the continent.
It was the Demon King.
[Loose Volnik. You can’t beat me.]
“know.”
It was felt. Even though he had entered a new fever, Doyun was still weaker than the Great Demon King in front of him.
At the end of the 18th playthrough, the Great Demon King did not display his full strength. She was such a distant being from the beginning.
But Doyoon did not back down.
“But I will win.”
Nothing was impossible for him. His past years have proven that.
[…]
The Demon King did not answer.
After exchanging glances for a moment, the final duel with the fate of the world began.
[die.]
[Cut it.]
———–
With a roar beyond sound, the two wills collided in the center.
the two fought The castle was shattered by the two flying bodies, and the heavens and the earth were torn apart by the two wills that commanded endlessly.
But the winner was, of course, the Demon King. Do-yoon, who had just entered the godhood, could not defeat the great demon king, who was fully matured.
aang-!
His body was trapped in the ruins of the demon castle.
[Warrior. Any last words?]
“…”
Doyoon smiled with a bloody face.
“…told you several times.”
Then, I stuck my hand into my belly, to be precise, the Danjeon.
“In the end, the hero wins.”
There was a fist-sized jewel in the hand that had been pulled out through its own stomach.
A brilliant golden jewel. It was Han Doyoon’s Dragon Heart.
Doyoon immediately put it in his mouth. And just like the breath, he used mana.
Brandish. The way to control the enormous energy gathered in the oral cavity was to absorb it again and reuse it in its own way.
tremendous energy. The 10th level of magical power… no, not the energy converted into simple numbers, but all the power of the godhead Enoch was condensed and flowed through his body.
It did not gather in the form of a jewel in the Danjeon again. It spread throughout the body in the form of infinitely pure mana.
And when he really absorbed all of that power into his own, rather than the mortal way of storing it in a short circuit.
[The stat ‘Magical Power’ has been leveled up. Current level: 11]
He became completely god.
The Demon King moved his body and will. But his arm was already cut.
Enoch became a complete god. It was no longer something that the Great Demon King, who was merely a low-level deity, could do anything about.
[…will it come to this in the end.]
The future that I once saw, peeked through the twisted timeline.
The future where Enoch Roosevolnik, who eventually became a god, cuts himself. it was unavoidable.
Doyoon didn’t hesitate. he sternly ordered.
[Cut it.]
Devil. Her throat began to cut. It was a fixed phenomenon and the result itself, impossible to avoid.
The moment the great demon king’s divinity and ego disappeared, Doyun frowned as he looked at the demon king’s body.
“you…”
golden eyes
Neck getting cut. From the pretty face above him, he could clearly see his daughter, the Demon King.
[…father.]
“…”
Doyoon did not open his mouth.
He just looked down with a sad face.
[Sorry…]
squeak-
The demon king’s throat was completely cut.
In this way, the Great Demon King and his successor, the Demon King, who were the culprits of all evil, died.
The hero defeated the demon king. The world is saved.
“…”
Do-yoon, who looked down at the little girl with sad eyes for a moment, moved her body.
When he took a step, his body was not there. He was already in Muspelheim, an alliance with the Lion King, the Holy King, and Luna.
Doyoon walked in front of the castle. There were continental people who were earnestly praying for the final battle of the hero.
Numerous continental people were filling the streets of the capital, inside the buildings, and on top of the buildings. They were on their knees and praying with their hands folded.
Doyoon’s voice rang.
[The Demon King is dead.]
Everyone raised their heads.
“ah…”
“Hero…!”
Everyone cried.
[I saved you.]
Doyoon looked down at everyone who was shedding tears.
[The war is over.]
At the moment of the declaration that had been waiting for hundreds of years, everyone shouted.
aa —-!!!!!!
The land and sky of the continent vibrated with cheers of joy.
The second salvation myth of the returning warrior.
It remained forever on the continent and was passed on to descendants living in peace.
-The second salvation myth of the retired returning warrior- End.
