The Swordsman Genius Returnee Even Swallows Immortality

39

Under the breaking dawn.

Havel watched Nachel fall.

Boom!

Nachel, who fell headfirst, was crushed.

In an instant, he became a corpse before the dawn.

At that moment, the evil energy flowing out of Nachel was completely absorbed by Havel.

[ Achievement ‘The One Who Defeated Nachel, the Lord of the Steeple Cliff Island’ has been registered. ]

[‘Nachel’s’ evil energy seeps into your body.]

-Strength has increased by 40.

– Dexterity increased by 43.

– Tenacity increased by 44.

– Aptitude increased by 42.

-Skill increased by 43.

– Misfortune increased by 39.

To be sure, the increase was less than that of the 5th-rank island owner.

Obviously because Nachel himself wasn’t the owner of the 6th-rank island.

But even considering that, the increased value was not small.

Considering that there were island owners that he had to capture in the future.

It seemed that the value would increase considerably by the time he finished the 6th-rank.

‘And above all else.’

Finally, strength, dexterity, and aptitude had also surpassed four digits.

[‘Strength’ has surpassed the value of 1000.]

[‘Dexterity’ has surpassed the value of 1000.]

[‘Aptitude’ has surpassed the value of 1000.]

As expected, the messages came up one after another.

[Transcendence cannot be performed simultaneously.]

[Please select which Transcendence to prioritize.]

[Strength][Dexterity][Aptitude]

Simultaneous Transcendence was impossible.

Habell nodded.

‘Besides, I’m sure that in order to transcend, you have to use up one of the attributes you acquired from the Tower.’

Habell acquired a total of three attributes from the Tower.

First of all, Cold was used because of Tenacity’s Transcendence.

So that leaves Darkness and Mind.

Still, it seemed like he could transcend two.

Habell pondered for a moment.

And at the end of his contemplation, he decided to raise Strength first.

[One of the acquired attributes will be used for the Transcendence of ‘Strength’.]

[ Target ‘Mind’ ]

[Transcendence of ‘Strength’ begins.]

[ 99 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds until the Transcendence of ‘Strength’ ]

Habell felt the Mind attribute disappearing from his body.

It was a bit regrettable since he had used it quite usefully.

Still, his main martial art was Dawn.

It was also an attribute that he didn’t necessarily need.

‘Rather than that, I need to clear the 6th-rank in order to transcend.’

As much as he had to sacrifice attributes for Transcendence.

Habell felt the need to speed up his capture speed.

He wasn’t the type to like leaving things like this.

‘It’s better for my heart to quickly deal with things that need to be dealt with.’

Havel rubbed his hands, erasing the words, and moved down.

The sun, which had been hidden by dark clouds far away, rose and sunlight spread.

However, regardless of that, the bottom was in chaos.

Is Nachel’s death a trigger that stops their movement?

The monsters continued to swarm from the sea.

Is it because they deserve to be called the Golden Age?

Everyone was desperately facing the monsters and there was no opening.

However, the monsters are much stronger than the 5th class.

In addition, the number is enormous as they rise from the sea.

So Havel stomped his foot in the sky.

His cloak fluttered with the wind that passed by in an instant.

Havel’s speed, which exceeded the four-digit mark in agility, was like a raging wind.

“Ack! My, my leg is caught! Eric, Eric, help me!”

“Melia, oh, no!”

Below him.

A woman from the Golden Age whose leg was caught in the monster’s tentacles was dragged away.

Seeing that, a man from the same Golden Age reached out his hand, but it was too late.

She was instantly dragged out over the cliff.

“Kyaak!”

When a piercing scream rang out.

Thud!

The oncoming gale blew away the monsters.

In an instant, the monsters that flew far away fell into the sea with a thud.

Meanwhile, Melia, who had screamed, was now rolling on the ground, not in the sea.

She was stunned, but belatedly realized that she was alive.

“Wh, what.”

She hurriedly raised her head.

Then she saw a lion-shaped cloak there.

At the same time, under the fluttering silver hair that was close to being white.

Havel was holding a sword with an emotionless face.

“Man, this is annoying.”

A short remark.

Then, the moment dawn broke on Havel’s sword.

Kwahahahahak!

The flying slash tore the monsters into pieces.

Melia, who saw that in front of her eyes, lost her mind.

It was the monster that she had been struggling so hard to drop until now.

It blew it away with a single swordsmanship.

She was in shock beyond words.

“Meryl!”

In the meantime, Eric rushed over.

He had also just seen Habell’s massacre.

Perhaps that was why he looked at Meryl with an incredulous expression as he helped her up.

“W-who are you?”

Do these guys not even know someone from their own agency?

‘Ah, right, I didn’t really give them time to get to know me.’

Habell had joined the Golden Age group, but he hadn’t really introduced himself to the members.

The only ones who knew Habell properly were the members of the Five Great Families.

Plus, Habell had acted alone ever since he arrived and attacked the first island.

So naturally, there were many who didn’t know him.

He had only moved with the members of the Five Great Families after arriving on the island.

‘Well, I guess no one can really sense my presence.’

It’s not like I’ve been hiding my presence or anything.

The difference in level was so great that almost no one could sense Habell’s presence.

‘That Dratein guy seemed to sense something unusual, though.’

Dratein, the youngest of the Glacies family, had some insight.

However, Habell shook his head as he recalled what he had been doing.

‘It’s better if they don’t sense me.’

I don’t want anyone looking at me and getting in my way.

Then Habell felt the gazes of two people behind him.

He realized that he hadn’t introduced himself yet.

“Habell, from Pandemonium. Remember that, since you’re my teammates.”

Habell said this and started walking.

He flicked his sword as if brushing off dust, and started moving along the edge of the cliff.

That alone was enough to shatter all the monsters into pieces.

Messiah and Eric looked on and were stunned.

“What the heck is that…”

“Habell, wasn’t that the name of the newcomer that Pembola mentioned?”

Messiah relatedly recalled Pandemonium at Eric’s question.

“If it’s Pandemonium, then that’s where Dante is.”

“That super rookie, Dante? W-wait, wasn’t the name of the mercenary who was working with Dante also Habell?”

The two of them realized who Habell was and were shocked.

At the same time, they realized something else.

Pandemonium’s problem wasn’t just Dante, who was called a super rookie.

There was another real monster there.

“…Just what is Pandemonium?”

Meryl’s question echoed softly.

Unfortunately, there was no one there to answer her question.

After Havel activated his aura.

The situation ended in an instant.

Whether the monsters gave up on invading the island.

They no longer attempted to climb the island, thanks to that.

But thanks to that, the Golden Generation and the Baltua Alliance were completely exhausted.

Of course, they would be exhausted after wrestling with the monsters for almost a whole day.

However, there was one person who was not at all tired in this place.

That was none other than Havel.

“Baria.”

When Havel called, Baria flinched.

He had been sighing due to the fight with the monsters.

However, when Havel called, his body became tense again.

“I think it’s time to move on to the next island.”

“Al, already?”

Baria was flustered.

Baria had briefly seen Havel fighting Nachel in the sky.

He had never seen such a bright sky in his life.

And he couldn’t help but be shocked when he heard that Havel’s swordsmanship had created that sky.

Havel was the one who had created the dawn and even took care of the monsters.

Yet, how could he have so much stamina left?

He already wanted to move on to the next island.

“You’ve rested enough. What’s the big deal? Even Dante wouldn’t have been able to avoid this.”

I’m not Dante.

Baria wanted to say that, but he kept his mouth shut.

He wasn’t the one to protest to.

“I’ll head out first, so tell me where the island is.”

He seemed to have already made up his mind to go.

So Baria decided to just obediently tell him where the island was.

“Wait, Baria.”

That was when it happened.

Fenbolla stepped forward, blocking Baria’s mouth.

This island invasion had been all about Havel.

So, he could no longer stand by and watch.

“Havel, can I talk to you for a moment?”

Havel seemed to know that, so he looked back at Fenbolla.

“Go ahead.”

“I think it would be more efficient if we moved separately from the next island.”

After hearing the next words, Havel chuckled.

The credit for conquering the island went to Haibel.

Furthermore, Haibel had gotten rid of the troublemakers at that time.

There were quite a few of the Golden Generation who had barely escaped with their lives.

Now, all of those guys looked at Haibel with eyes of admiration.

Just by looking at that, it was clear that the Golden Generation was wavering, with Haibel at its center.

Originally, Pembola should have been the center of the Golden Generation.

Naturally, Gross couldn’t just leave it alone.

“So?”

“Choose those from Haibel and the Golden Generation who won’t be a bother. I want to make a separate team.”

I thought about it for a while.

A way to keep Haibel in the Golden Generation while also having him move separately.

That would be to create another team.

“Hmm.”

Haibel looked at Penbola with his arms crossed.

He was standing there with a nervous expression, and Haibel soon nodded his head.

“Yeah, okay. Let’s do that.”

Even Haibel could let something like that slide.

Rather, he thought of the advantages that he could gain by doing so.

“Then I will compose the team right away. Baria.”

“What?”

At that moment, Baria looked back at Pembola.

Pembola gave him an apologetic expression when he widened his eyes.

“You and Haibel are friends, aren’t you?”

Damn friend.

Baria looked at Pembola, telling him not to say something so ridiculous.

But Pembola just ignored his gaze.

“I want to go too!”

At that moment, Azalais appeared, his red hair fluttering.

If he went, two of the Five Great Families would move with Haibel.

“Sure.”

But Penbola agreed.

In that case, he would become the only one of the Five Great Families.

He decided that it would be good to solidify the remaining members of the Golden Generation.

“The rest is.”

“I’ll go.”

At that moment, one person raised their hand.

White clothing and blonde hair.

Eyes that were curled in a way that made him seem very devout.

He was Edler, a member of the Holy Order.

Everyone around him always asked if he could really see with his eyes closed.

His recovery ability was real.

“The feat that Haber-nim showed earlier, I definitely think that God’s will is with Haber-nim. I definitely want to help.”

Penbola heard.

It’s good to have someone who can use healing abilities.

Haber doesn’t know.

That is to say, Barrianna Azarias could get hurt.

“Then let’s form a team like this. We’ll prepare the ship.”

“Well, we could just walk there?”

Barria looked tired.

“Only Haber-nim can do that.”

Haber looked back at Azarias.

“Azarias, let me ask you something.”

“Wow, Haber is talking to me for the first time. This is the first time!”

Have I ignored her too much?

Azarias ran to Haber as if she was excited.

Then, as soon as Haber told her something, her eyes sparkled.

“Yeah, do you think it will work?”

“Is that so?”

When Haber heard the answer, he looked back at Barria and Edler.

For some reason, Barria unconsciously took a step back.

But it was too late.

“Let’s set sail.”

“Yay! I’m so excited!”

“As God wills.”

Since Haber, Azarias, and Edler were already moving.

“Barria, I’m sorry. There’s no one but you.”

Listening to Pembola’s apology from behind.

Barria could only move her feet miserably.
