This colossal behemoth was part of my desire to deal the last attack on it. I wanted to get all the bones I could from this one.

My past record was golden grade bones as the highest grade bone I ever got! And now I was dreaming about breaking that record.

Do you want to use the separation skill?

“Use it,” I simply touched the dead body of that monster before I saw a scene that I’d never forget for the rest of my life.

The entire behemoth shone brightly in many places, giving me the impression that its body was literally lightened up.

And the next messages that popped up were a feast to my eyes.

You gained dark gold grade bone

You gained black grade bone

You gained red grade bone

You gaine dark gold grade bone

The messages didn’t stop until I got fifteen of such messages. And what came next made me shout in excitement.

Per the evolution of your class and skill, the number of your gained bones are doubled

Damn! I nearly forgot about that! Thanks Anubis god, I’d never forget such generous treatment.

As I got the bones, it was now time to claim another treasure.

“Come out,” I called, and the rest of my warriors appeared. “Cut this bastard into pieces, don’t leave a single inch untouched.”

“Roar!”

My warriors complied as they went to devastate this behemoth. Come on, just the hearts seemed to be a treasure in their own accord. Then what about everything else?

I claimed the mysterious bones, but that didn’t mean that treasure trove was emptied. There were still muscles, tendons, the neck, the head, the sharp teeth, the deadly claws, the tail, the organs… there was still a long list of items that would prove to be worthy.

How could I leave such a treasure trove behind?

As I scattered my warriors, I got nothing else to do here but wait. So I got myself outside by my dragon, and once I reached my chariot, I left my dragon to go back and cut that bastard into pieces.

“Done already?” The jumper came to my side. That dude… just looking at him made me recall unintentionally that weird moment. “What’s wrong?” He seemed to feel my strange gazes towards him.

“Sigh, it’s nothing,” I shook my head, “I’ll leave my boys here to claim that bastard’s materials. Let’s head towards the castles and gates to conquer it.”

*Fwoosh!*

Just before he could say anything, and as I removed him from the leadership of the chariot, the three distasteful angels appeared all of sudden.

Their faces told me everything about what they were feeling at the moment. Yes bitches, cry bitterly over your disastrous loss here.

“Esteemed humans, we came to deliver the subquest related to the main second quest,” the central angel said in a fake respectful tone, a tone that his glaring eyes betrayed its meaning.

Subquest of the main quest two is issued

Subquest details: In every corner of the world, many emblems appeared inside mighty castles. You are asked to control as many emblems as you can

Quest time limit: Four hours

Quest rewards: each activated emblem will give you a boost to your stats

Special reward is given to those who control most of emblems in one city

Quest failure: You’ll have a bad time in the main second quest

I looked up at the rows of messages before giving the angels a meaningful glance. Those bastards… if I didn’t know all about this quest from the start, then it would be too late to stop them.

And they didn’t even give any hint about the brutal nature of the upcoming quest. What? Did they have a counter to what I broadcasted? Did they think they could win against us? Or did they just give up?

“See you later… Human Hye,” the leader of the three angels said in a voice that carried a lot of hatred. Then they all vanished as they appeared.

“F*ck them,” the jumper cursed and I couldn’t help but nod.

“They got what they deserved in this quest,” I said, “let’s go and clear the city off the emblems, gates, and castles.”

“What about the races?” the jumper asked, “I saw them all hurrying deep inside the city.”

I realised that I did all this while he was asleep. It took me ten minutes to explain what he missed.

“Damn! You played them well this time,” he seemed quite delighted, “those Selvators are good, but the Berserkers… couldn’t you just add them to the deal?”

“They won’t get away from me,” I evilly grinned, “if you want to catch a whale, you need to be patient and wait for the right moment.”

“They are hard to deal with,” he nodded in agreement, “but if Selvators had their honour, they still have their ambition to rule the new world. But Berserkers don’t have such a great goal. They just love to fight and see in wars their purpose in life.”

“If they wanted wars, then many chances will pop up in the future,” I wasn’t just boasting. I knew the next stages of the apocalypse would have more deadly fights like the one we just won here today.

“Let’s go,” as I controlled the chariot, it started to glide on the ground. The first thing I did was to shift its running mode into the intermediate mode.

The staggering fuel reserve inside it was slightly above eighty millions. We consumed almost twenty-five million stat points during the past fight alone.

But I didn’t feel any pain in this. After all this enormous amount didn’t come from me but the other races. Having such a wealthy amount of fuel made me more confident in the upcoming quests.

I didn’t run first at the gates. I had to wait for the one hour period to pass before going there. So I went around and started to claim all the empty castles with normal emblems inside the city.

The devastation here was beyond imagination. I never expected this battle to leave such a deep wound in the face of this city.

It wasn’t a city anymore, but a giant gathering of rubbles and ruins stretched all over the city.

Not a single building escaped intact, not a single human survived. I didn’t know how many were here, but I was sure there were thousands if not tens of thousands surviving the first quest inside the city.

I recalled that human army my dragons spotted before. Sigh, I gained a city but in my overall strength I gained nothing.

“This city can’t be lived in for a long time,” the jumper seemed to share the same heavy mood, “if we wanted to rebuild it, we’d need more resources… A frightening number of wealth, manpower, and resources.”

“We can’t build anything here,” I firmly said.

“Are you planning to take New York city as your base?”

“Not even close,” I shook my head while taking another empty castle with its emblem. I didn’t need to leave anyone to defend, after all there were no surviving monsters or enemies inside the city to threaten my belongings.

“Then?” the jumper asked and I looked at him before realising something.

This dude didn’t live past quest fifteen. So he didn’t know.

“This part of the continent will be submerged later under water,” I said as I recalled the events related to such a terrifying event.

Of course it wasn’t something that was far from happening. If the upcoming quest was our loss, the human world Earth would cease to exist as all the other worlds would start to violently merge with it.

And during that merge, many unfortunate things would happen. Deadly earthquakes, violent massive floods, world wide tsunamis, terrain changes, and many other frightening faces of nature.

Even I wouldn’t survive this! New York city and the area around it in a range of fifty miles would be engulfed in a series of mighty tsunamis that would change the entire region.

So I needed to go to the north, where things would become more stable and much safer. Not to mention my other plans I had in mind for that place at Massachusetts.

“Then…” he looked at me and I shrugged.

“I did everything I could to stop this, so let’s pray things will go as we planned,” I said before returning to get more castles and emblems.

Just before the one hour limit would pass, I got a message from Sara.

There is something strange happening she sent before another message came, The dragon army isn’t few hundreds, but few thousands. And they are standing on the border of the city, not taking a single step forward

Oh! Did they bring reinforcements through the gate?

I had to admit, this was a smart move indeed. But who said the dragons would have the power to stop me even if they called reinforcements?

They lost big, lost most of their elites and most of their good fighters during this battle. The ones coming to their aid wouldn’t be on the same level as the ones who died here.

“What’s wrong?” The jumper noticed the slight change in my face when I read Sara’s messages.

“The dragons are preparing to invade the city,” I sighed before sending a reply back to her. Go as near as possible from them, I’ll watch the feed from your perspective

I’m already there

Good girl! I opened my channel interface at once and opened her feed. The scene that appeared in front of me was much different from what I expected.

“Aren’t those… the Succubus race?” I couldn’t help but wonder in surprise. There were many giant bodies belonging to dragons, but they had many girls in their ranks.

There was no other race that would dress in such a revealing sexy manner except for succubi. Alright, you decided to join them, so don’t blame me for being ruthless.

Stay put for now I sent, I’ll come and hit them first then you follow

I got it

“Tell me,” I turned to the jumper as I added, “do you like dragons?”

“Only if you barbecued well,” he said and I smiled.

“Let’s go, we will eat roasted dragon tendons at night.”

I didn’t want to do it, but I had no other choice but to recall all my warriors back. I left only the illusionists to keep cutting down the colossal behemoth. After all that race was as cowardly as the succubi.

And for the next fight, I already had my best weapon deployed already.

“Are we going to hit them head on?” The jumper noticed that I moved my chariot directly towards the north.

“Are you afraid?” I asked and he rolled his eyes in return.

He took out two spears and wore a new set of armour. He even wore a helmet, one that added more mystery to his masked face.

“Is this enough?” he asked while looking like a broom ready to get married.

“We don’t need all of that,” I sighed.

“Don’t underestimate the dragons,” he warned, “even if they weren’t much stronger than us, they are so filthy rich. They will use treasures like running water.”

“Damn!”

“What’s wrong?!” he looked around but I couldn’t help but bitterly laugh.

“Nothing,” I looked back at the stretched ruins of the city. I totally forgot about the killed ones by the blades of my warriors before. Their bodies must have been covered with the falling pieces of the destroyed buildings.

But how could I forget about them? Damn! I almost missed a great deal of loot!

“Get ready,” I said while I didn’t even bother to channel the chariot onto the fully powered version, “give them a greeting,” I said to my Gollems while throwing a grenade over to them.

“Careful with that,” the jumper nearly jumped off his feet when he saw what I did, “these things aren’t toys to be thrown like that!”

“I always use them in such a way,” I laughed and he couldn’t help but shake his head.

“Let’s light the beacon,” I said before adding, “next I’ll trouble you to get down there and help Sara.”

“Sara?”

“She is here with thousands of our forces,” I said before adding, “you just need to handle the deadliest foes with my warriors. Leave the flies for them to handle.”

“Cool.”
