Chapter 221
After healing Argon using the divinity in his Origin Spirit, Mu-Gun began to reconstruct his body. Using Thunder God Qi, he unclogged Argons blood vessels, which proved quite easy thanks to his built physique, and when Argons eight major meridians opened, he finally cleared the Life and Death Gateway and unlocked his middle dantian.
Having undergone metamorphosis, Argons skeletal structure, muscles, and skin had reached perfection. Mu-Gun also unlocked the upper dantian, connecting all three dantians as one. Finally, he transferred the power contained in his Origin Spirit into Argon. Exactly two hours after possessing Argon, Mu-Gun recovered all the power he had before he crossed the dimensional door.
After regaining his strength, Mu-Gun looked through Argons memory, which he had gained access to, allowing him to recognize those he saw for the first time and speak and understand the Pantheon Kingdoms language.
The Pantheon Kingdom, which Argon was a citizen of, was in the northern part of the Avalon Continent and bordered by the Patagon Mountain Range to the north, which was the habitat of the Wolfkan.
Wolfkans were giant monsters with the body of a wolf and the skin of an alligator. Those who had reached adulthood even boasted ten times the size of a normal wolf. They normally did not pose a threat to humans because they only stayed within the Patagon Mountain Range, but not long ago, a pack of Wolfkans suddenly came down from their habitat and attacked the Pantheon Kingdom.
Ten elite knights in Chevalier Armors would barely be able to defeat just one Wolfkan even if they used Aura. However, no less than ten thousand descended from the mountains. Helplessly torn apart by the surprise attack, around seventy percent of the Pantheon Kingdom was decimated by the Wolfkans within ten days.
The only reason the kingdom lasted that long was because the monsters only attacked at night. If they continued their invasion during the day too, the kingdom would have already been wiped off the planet by now.
When the Wolfkans were right on the doorsteps of House Venatias fief, their count dispatched their most elite knights, the Golden Lion Order, to stop the monsters. Lord Argon, the third heir to the throne, joined them.
However, the Golden Lion Order suffered a crushing defeat, almost being annihilated. Though destined to die, Argon managed to escape from the brink of death and returned to House Venatias estate when Mu-Guns soul took over his body.
Mu-Gun speculated that the Wolfkans sudden aggression was related to the Demon God since the Wolfkans were not the only ones behaving strangely. The huge monsters living in the other mountain ranges of the Avalon Continent were attacking the other kingdoms too.
Convinced that the Demon God was controlling the huge monsters, Mu-Gun decided to prioritize stopping the monsters for now. Hence, he got up, left the room, and headed for Count Wackins office.
Considering Argon returned in a terrible state, it would not have been strange if he died soon. Hence, the people of House Venatia could not help but be surprised to see him completely fine. Nevertheless, they still did not forget to politely greet him. After returning the gesture, he began to walk faster, eventually reaching his destination.
When he announced his visit, Count Wackins immediately allowed Mu-Gun to enter. Mu-Gun found five other people inside. From what it looked like, they seemed to be in the middle of a long meeting.
Count Wackins was sitting at the head of the table. Beside him were his eldest, Kayehon Leonia Venatia, and his second son, Franchel Leonia Venatia. Next to them were Captain Schwartz Epercion of the Golden Lion Order and Head Wizard Alcain Lukasus. Finally, the House Venetias Strategist Jardem Valdium was seated at the corner.
They were all evidently surprised when they saw Mu-Gunno, when they saw Argon in seemingly perfect health.
How-
Alcain looked at Mu-Gun in disbelief. He knew the young mans condition best.
It seems you were telling the truth when you said you have become the Sky Gods representative, Count Wackins said as he examined Mu-Gun.
The Sky Gods representative? What do you mean by that? Kayehon asked Count Wackins with a puzzled look.
Argon said that when he was on the brink of death, he received a divine revelation from the Sky God and was chosen as their representative, which is the reason behind his miraculous recovery, Count Wackins explained.
Is that the truth? Franchel asked in disbelief.
How else would I have survived and recovered this quickly from the brink of death? Mu-Gun shrugged.
You said the Sky God would give you some of his strength. Have you received it? Count Wackins asked.
Yes. The almighty Sky God blessed me, Mu-Gun said.
How strong are you now? Can you stop the Wolfkans? Jardem asked.
They will no longer be a threat.
Really?
Yes.
I dont know how much power you obtained, Lord Argon, but we must not underestimate the Wolfkans, Schwartz warned, speaking from experience since he had already faced one before.
Showing it to you in person will make things easier to understand.
Mu-Gun awakened the Thunder God Qi within him and exuded a way of golden thunder qi. He then concentrated it on his right hand, forming a huge Thunderbolt Sword.
Schwartzs eyes widened in astonishment. Aura Blade!
Count Wackins and the others also appeared to be amazed.
Huhu, I did not expect you to use Aura Blade. That is a pleasant surprise.
That is not just any Aura Blade. Despite not holding anything, he managed to create an Aura Blade that contains the properties of lightning. Such a feat is simply impossible unless you have become a Grand Master, Schwartz explained with excitement.
Grand Masters were known as the ultimate knights, equal to the Supreme-Realm masters of Central Plains murim. Even the Pamar Empire, the strongest nation within the Avalon Continent, only had five of them, while the Pantheon Kingdom only had one. Considering how valuable they were, it was only natural for Schwartz to be excited when he found out that Mu-Gun had become one.
If you have really become a Grand Master, Lord Argon, then we no longer have to worry about the Wolfkans, Jardem said in delight.
Grand Masters were ultimate weapons that could serve as an entire strategy in itself, considering each one could dominate an entire battlefield. Only another Grand Master could stop them.
Despite how powerful the Wolfkans were, against a Grand Master, they were no more than a mouse in the mercy of a cat. Jardem, who ceaselessly racked his brains to find a way to stop the Wolfkans this coming evening, felt so relieved.
How many forces do we have left? Mu-Gun asked Jardem.
We have twelve Golden Lion Knights and three thousand troops left in the Venatia Army. We cannot stop the Wolfkans without you, Lord Argon, Jardem reported.
Has the kingdom not sent support yet?
Rather than sending support, they are conscripting knights and soldiers from the other fiefdoms to strengthen the Royal Capitals defense instead, Jardem said, clearly displeased.
I see. For now, lets focus on stopping the Wolfkans tonight.
Your Chevalier Armor was destroyed, and we do not have any spare available. Will you be fine?
A Chevalier Armor was armor powered by a huge monsters Mana Heart. Wearing it not only dramatically increased muscle strength and agility but also strengthened its wearers Aura using the mana in the monsters heart. Simply put, it made its wearer exert greater power than their original stage.
It does not matter, Mu-Gun nonchalantly replied.
It would be nice to have a Chevalier Armor, but he did not really need it. He was more interested in Mana Hearts, which had the same effect as the beast cores of divine beasts. Considering the Avalon Continent was flooded with huge monsters, he et his hands on as many Mana Hearts as he wanted. He was even already planning to increase his internal energy reserves by absorbing the Wolfkans.
Mu-Gun already had more than enough internal energy and could even absorb the energy in nature at any time since he had already unlocked his three dantians. Against humans or monsters, it was almost impossible for him to run out of internal energy.
However, he came to this world to deal with the Demon God. To accomplish that, he had to increase his internal energy reserves as much as possible. Although that would not guarantee his success, it was the only thing he could do right now. freewebno(v)el
What about the Golden Lion Order and the Venatia Army? Kayehon asked.
The Golden Lion Order will fight alongside Lord Argon, Schwartz answered without second thoughts.
You do not have to do that. I am more than enough to stop them.
I have no doubts that you can stop the Wolfkans on your own, Lord Argon, but it is still better to be safe than sorry. Please let the Golden Lion Knights join you in battle. Witnessing your power will also be of great help to them now that you have reached the rank of Grand Master.
I agree, Count Wackins said, supporting Schwartz.
Understood, Mu-Gun acquiesced.
Jardem checked the time. It will be dark soon.
The Wolfkan would continue their invasion as soon as night fell. They had to move now if they wanted to stop them.
Let us make haste, then. Mu-Gun got up from his seat. Schwartz followed after him.
Be careful.
Dont worry.
After reassuring Count Wackins, Mu-Gun left the office with Schwartz. He headed to the northern wall of the Venatia Castle, which was guarded by the soldiers of the Venatia Army, each clearly nervous but still holding their respective positions. He wanted them to retreat but ultimately decided to leave them be. Showing them how he would slaughter the Wolfkans should eliminate their fear.
Mu-Gun climbed the northern wall and stood at its center, finding the Golden Lion Knights sitting atop it and resting. He could see the determination on their faces. They knew that they could not stop the Wolfkans on their own, but they were prepared to die trying anyway. Even if they failed to stop the monster invasion, they would at least die knowing their fear never made them run away.
Although pleased with their spirit to stand their ground in the face of certain death, Mu-Gun still examined the Golden Lion Knights skills.
They are roughly at the Peak Realm. Not bad.
Based on the standards of this world, these knights would be some of the strongest in the Expert rank. However, they were not strong enough to have a great strategic effect and would have to train and improve further if they wanted to defeat the monsters under the Demon Gods control.
Mu-Gun could use the Thunder God Enlightenment Spell to strengthen the Golden Lion Order, but he decided to observe them a bit more for now.
Lord Argon? Werent you one of the Golden Lion Knights trailed off. They were all clearly surprised to see him in good condition.
Fortunately, God blessed him and healed him from his injuries, Schwartz explained. Anyway, Lord Argon will be stopping the Wolfkans invasion tonight.
Flustered, the Golden Lion Knights asked, What? How?
Their reaction was only natural. After all, Mu-Gunno, Argon was barely at the Intermediate Expert Stage. Stopping the Wolfkans with his skills alone was impossible, considering those monsters were ranked Intermediate Experts. 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝓬𝓸𝓶
The Wolfkans just put him on deaths door just yesterday. Hence, the knights were understandably shocked.
