Chapter 757: Arsene’s Mistake 1
A huge magic circle suddenly appeared on the ground .
The moment the magic circle began to shine, a five-colored glow rose to the sky .
At the same time, a scream burst out from the mouths of the Undead .
Kuak!
Kiiik!
The enormous Death Knights who were down on the ground, as well as the Intermediate Lich who were fighting the wizards in the sky, struggled .
Arsene felt the same kind of pain .
He felt some tingling pain on his skin, on the skin which was supposed to be stronger and tougher than Orichalcum .
“This can’t be… Did he build an amplification magic circle around all the relics?”
“You guessed it . You are surely an old aged wizard . ”
Luke clapped his hands while mocking Aresene .
Arsene yelled, not being able to believe it .
“Nonsense! Such a thing can’t be made in this short time!”
Of course, that couldn’t be made .
No matter how many blessed relics were scattered throughout the earth, it would take at least a month to create an amplifying circle that strengthened Divine power and suppressed black magic .
It wasn’t easy to calculate the formula or make it .
“Huhuhu, well, it might not have been possible . But I have a very talented daughter . ”
It was Karen who made the amplification magic circle in Bless .
Upon receiving Luke’s magic communication, Karen with Reina’s help, built the amplifying magic circle in the shortest time possible by taking down all the relics in the Holy Palace and those with the High Priests .
Bless itself was designed to be a Holy city, so it already held the basic foundation, all Karen had to do was apply her magical knowledge and finish the circle .
Of course, Arsene, who knew nothing of the plan, was in huge trouble .
“Even then, it makes no sense for you to be here! How can a guy get from Angara to here, that too faster than me!”
“I took the help of another person for that . ”
Looking at Arsene lose his cool, Luke recalled the incident that happened three days ago .
Luke began to move back from Angara .
He tried not to show it, but his heart was turning heavy with every step .
He noticed Arsene’s plan and marched back with all his might, but he knew very well that he wouldn’t get to Bless before Arsene .

It was because two days would pass for them to reach Bless, and it was taking a lot of time to move in units, rather than alone .
While returning, they contacted Bless and their allies constantly and asked them to send reinforcements to Bless through long-distance teleportation .
They were all asked to send only the elite troops to the capital and prevent the attack of Arsene and his Undead .
He even asked Symphonia to mobilize their elite forces .
“It is fine if our palace goes empty, send in the Guard Knights to Bless! Even the Blood Hawks!”
-Your Majesty, would you like us to send the Song Empire and Yemaek who arrived at Lamer too?
“Yes, if not all, ask only the zen users and sword master class warriors for support!”
Even if they asked the entire nation to go and support Bless, Luke wasn’t sure if Arsene and his Undead legion could be stopped .
It was because Arsene was extremely strong, and Luke was his only opponent on the same range .
As a response, Luke asked for help by calling up the heads of the fairy tribes .
The heads of the fairy tribes, who were concerned about the Undead, promised to send only the best of each of their tribe .
While they all would go to Bless and defend the city, Luke planned to arrive with his troops and strike Arsene from behind .
However, Luke’s plan got stopped once he left Angara .
Suddenly, a person he knew stood ahead .
“No way, you?”
Shockingly, Saint Nanda, the Arahan denomination’s priest of the Southern Continent was there .
2 years ago, he was the person who healed Karen when she was suffering from God’s Punishment . He was also the one who helped Luke use Divine power, but then he left!
“Amitabha! I waited for His Majesty to come . ”
“You are talking about me?”
Luke was puzzled at his words .
With a mysterious smile on his face, Nanda replied, “I have been sent a revelation . It feels like I need to help His Majesty . ”
Nanda already knew about Karen’s life nearing the end when healing her .
And because he helped Karen from escaping God’s Punishment, his lifespan got shortened drastically .
He already got enlightenment and had wandered around the world, quietly waiting for the time of his liberation .

The Middle-earth was in a mess because of a demon called Arsene and his Undead minions, and he thought that his relationship with Luke had ended two years ago .
But a few days ago, his lord suddenly appeared while he was in meditation and gave a revelation!
‘Huhu, the last thing to do . ’
In the past two years, it seemed like he would finally be liberated, but he didn’t, and there seemed to be a reason for it .
“Ho, were you…!”
Nanda’s smile made Luke, who was puzzled, clasp his hands in hope .
“What Your Majesty is thinking is right . I will send you to your destination . ”
Nanda, who took his stance, soon unfolded his ability .
The moment felt like a second . The entire 4,000 troops and Luke moved over to Bless and not Angara .
“O-oh my god!”
From the time Nanda had brought back Luke from the Southern Continent to Rakan, Luke knew about the mysterious abilities Nanda possessed .
As he heard later, it was an ability that would come after physical enlightenment .
But to move thousands of troops, 200 Gigants, horses, military supplies, and trailers, all at once…!
That was something even a Dragonian couldn’t do .
“Why would Saint…”
It was when Luke was about to ask Nanda .
Nanda’s body began to shine in bright light, and his physical body started to slowly disappear .
“Huhu, my time in this world has come to an end . ”
“S-Saint Nanda!”
As Luke and his companions were watching it in bewilderment, Nanda made his final request .
“Please stop that wicked one… only then will this word be saved and the Karma Your Majesty has accumulated in the past and the present will be erased . ”
Nanda disappeared completely .
‘The world is really huge, and there are a lot of great guides . ’
Luke thought that there was no one stronger than him in Middle-earth if he could use demon abilities and Divine power .
Arsene was strong, but Luke was confident about not losing to him .
But he saw another great man .
No, Nanda wasn’t a stronger man, he was a transcendence being .
Beyond life, Nanda reached the level of God .
As Luke stared into the place where Nanda disappeared, Arch Duke Gregory went close and said, “Your Majesty, let’s go to Bless . ”
“Understood . ”
After expressing his gratitude for Saint Nanda, Luke went into Bless with Arch Duke Gregory .
With the reinforcements arriving one after the other, they decided to hurry and stop Arsene and his army of the Undead .
Luke, who was done recalling what happened, spoke to Arsene, “Arsene, there is someone in this world who is far greater than you can imagine . The power you have is nothing compared to that being . ”
In the case of Saint Nanda, Luke managed to open his eyes toward new powers and transcendence beings .
“Shut up! You, who hasn’t even lived for a hundred years, dare to discuss the world in front of me?!”
Flash!
Responding to Arsene’s words, the Dragonic Aura reached Luke .
It didn’t take the form of an attack like before, but it still held the intensity to cut through rocks and steel .
However, Luke boarded Avenger, and the Dragonic aura hit the fist of Avenger and bounced off .
“Living for 100 or 500 years doesn’t matter much . What matters is how much you know and how you act . ”
Woong!
As the Divine power developed by Luke began to get amplified by the core engine, Avenger shined brightly .
Just like the time on Thanatos Island, bright and holy light like sun formed in the air .
The light illuminated the entirety of Bless, and the interlocked amplification magic circle built by Karen caused huge damage to the Undead .
Arsene was no exception to it .
“Kuek, Luke!”
Arsene, couldn’t stand the pain of the light digging into his flesh and raised the Magi around his body as a dark veil .
When he tried to use the power to stop the Divine power from touching his body, it only intensified the pain .
The word retreat and runaway entered his mind, but the pain was too much for Arsene to act on it .
He knew very well that if he stepped out of the battle in Bless, he would no longer be able to beat Luke .
‘Because of that damned Rakan! I will surely pick your throat!’
Arsene stared at the Avenger, which was shining in holy light .
Arsene, whose pride was burning, tried another dark veil formation around his body .
He did that to defeat Luke, who turned into a blade that could pierce his heart .

God complex
A hero is summoned to another world, vanquishes evil, yadda yadda, saves the kingdom and lives happily ever after. There is no such hero in this story. Just a desperate youth with great ambition and very little to lose. A zero to hero style story set in a country clearly inspired by modern USA with just as many issues and the minority of mages often pulling strings from the shadows. I am also hoping the whole thing won't turn out edgy enough to cut me. I want to rely on actual good writing rather than cheap powertrip gimmicks. edit: Please don't mind Zetari's salty review. He is quite literally making up any use of the torture and human experimentation trope and says MC is blank after 4 chapters where he conveniently stops reading just at the start of his first character development. For extra entertainment, I will be uploading chapters two at a time and compose a relevant poem through the chapter names. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

James was an Operator who had the misfortune to die in battle. Instead of his soul moving on to his just reward, it is intercepted, and James finds himself on a new mission. Asked to be the Champion for Ignatius, God of Embers, he finds himself in a different world, fighting impossible creatures and trying to survive. Their lives now depend on his completing the Challenge and ranking in the top 500. But the odds are stacked against him, and he was a better operator than a swordsman. Chapters released Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 12:30 Warning: After Chapter 11, the MC undergoes a significant change of class and race. This is due to a couple of factors.
