## Chapter 1227 – Shurdick Great Desert

“How long has it been!!! Decades since that mad half-elf angered us!!! Finally, we can catch and kill him!!!!”
“Oooooooooh!!!”
“Waaaaaaaah!!!”

Furious shouts erupt from the horizon.

“Kill the trash half-elves!!!”
“Kill them all!!!”
“Kill the trash who fraternize with humans!!!”
“Shame of the dark elves!!!”

Their hatred is palpable. Whatever the case, there’s no way but to fight now. No. It will be a one-sided massacre.

Looking at them like that.

“Come onㅡ!!!!!!!!!!!”

I shout loudly as well.

“The Ear Hunter is here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

ㅡRumble!!!

Thunderous roar.

I will engrave this proud name into the brains of those dark elf bastards! Everyone will remember this name! To dare make my Cloudie! To make Cloudie’s childhood life so miserable!!!

I won’t forgive such traitors!!!!

“Kuaaaaaaaaah!!!”
“Kiyaaaaaaaa!”
“Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!”

The dark elf warriors shouted back, undeterred by my roar.

“Attack!!!!!!!!!”

That was the beginning.

ㅡDudududududu!!
ㅡDududu!!!
ㅡDudududududu!!!!

Warriors charge, shaking the earth. Counting their numbers accurately seemed nearly impossible. Was my training a little lacking? With just this many troops, I should be able to grasp the exact number just by looking.

I keenly feel my shortcomings.

“Keuh!”

I will live even harder from now on!

“Ah… those damn bastards, really. Blackie. Are you really okay? Can you kill them all?”

Winia seemed a little uneasy.

“I.”

Of course.

“How do you think you’re going to smash all these fucking guys?”
“Um… I wonder?”

It’s a simple matter.

“This is all I need.”

ㅡFwoosh.

Pure white flames blaze from my entire body. I unfold my power. Transforming the burning flames into hearts, I am reborn as a true warrior of love. If I were to become a god like this, it would surely be.

ㅡGod of Love and Destruction.

And so, divine power dwells in my body.

In that state.

“Extend my legs.”

I tread upon the world.

“Heavenly Demon Descent.”

「ㅡ!!!!!!!!!」

An unparalleled giant and a great superhuman. The strongest warrior of mankind and the greatest saint of this century, Chun Ma Kim Kat, the moment he treads upon the world, the world convulses. First, a fierce sandstorm raged. Next came a powerful earthquake, and destruction.

ㅡUrrrrrrrrrrng!!
ㅡKuquakakakakakakakakakang!!!

Overwhelming everything except for the circular space around me. That is what Heavenly Demon Descent is.

A secret technique that makes my enemies kneel.

“Uwaaaaaaaaack!!”

The screams of the brave warriors charging from the very front begin to turn into the cries of cowards.

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!”
“Noooooooo!!”
“Mommy!!! Mommy!!! Mommyaaaaaaack!!!”

And so, the next row in order. And then the next row. The warriors are smashed in the order they charged, burying their faces in the sand pit.

Not only that.

They are buried in the soil as they are.

My overwhelming power doesn’t just end with being buried in the ground. Beyond that. It makes them sink into the ground.

“Oaaaaaaaack!!!”
“Aaaaack!! Aaaaaack!”
“Kkeuaaaack!!”

This is Heavenly Demon Descent.

An ultimate destruction technique that expands my energy to the limit, turning all directions into a pit of death…!

This is my power!

This power of Kim Kat is unleashed to the extreme and descends upon the whole world!

This is!!!

This is the power of destruction that the Wright brothers feared!!!

ㅡTuquakakakakakakakang!!!

And so the desert shakes.

It’s an absurd area-of-effect skill.

Numerous dark elves are instantly buried in the sand. An abnormal level of power has been unleashed, and all the soldiers within that range have fallen. No one could escape this enlarged sphere of power.

“Kyaaaaaaaaack!!”
“Save me!!! Save me!!! Save meeeeeeeee!!!”
“Captain!! Captain!! Captaaaaaain!!”
“Aaaaaaaaack!!!”

A living hell of pandemonium.

The dark elf army, gathered like a swarm of clouds, was crushed in one blow by Heavenly Demon Descent. Earthquakes and destruction are the basics.

“Behold this destruction!!!”

And so I walked the convulsing world.

“Behold this true destruction created by the power of love!!!!”

Walking through the convulsing world, I scattered my hearts to the left and right. Those scattered like stardust lost their power and vanished before they even touched the ground. Just like those foolish ants who dared to attack me.

“You had a chance to live!!! You fools who threw it away with your own hands!!!! Be buried in the sand and curse yourselves!!!!”

Of course, since an army had gathered, there were many who endured my Heavenly Demon Descent.

This is just a technique that spreads my immense power over a wide area. Naturally, it will be weaker than if I were hitting them one by one.

But with just this level of skill, I can grind up the insignificant rabble entirely. That’s how area-of-effect skills are. They don’t work on the really strong guys, but they work very well on the weak ones.

Beyond working very well, they destroy everything that exists there. The more they gather, the easier it is to destroy them.

It’s easy to trample and kill a bunch of gathered ants.

To me, this army was just a bunch of ants.

“Oh! Ooooooh!! Oooooooooh!!!!!”
“Uwoooooooooh!!!”
“Kiyaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!”

The strong ones somehow endured and stood up. But they are below my level. They only endured because the range of Heavenly Demon Descent was set too wide, causing the power to be dispersed, but they were never a match for me in the first place.

ㅡPapapapapat!
ㅡPapapat!

As if having resolved themselves as warriors, the warriors standing on the earth filled with corpses kicked off the ground and began to charge at me.

“Dieeeeeeeeee!!!”
“Oooooooooh!!”
“Kuaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

There weren’t that many of them. Behind me were the women emitting a chilling aura. This is already a finished battle.

“Ooooooot!!”

The dark elf warrior screamed, driven mad. ㅡPatsutsut! The sharp sword energy that spewed from that blade, ㅡFwoooooosh! Instantly transforms into sword flames. Did he awaken to the mysteries due to anger?

ㅡSwaeeeeeeek!!

A blade imbued with the flames of mana was fired at me.

ㅡKwaang!

I raised my forearm and blocked it.

“Ah, no way?!”

Following that.

“Oooooooooh!”
“Uwaaaaaaaaaaaack!!”

Other warriors also reached me and swung their swords.

“You guys.”

Of course, they were all blocked by my forearm, and they looked at me with the bewildered expressions unique to people whose special moves have failed.

“Are too weak!!!!!”

ㅡHwaak!

As I lightly swung my arm as it was.

“Uwaaaaaaaaack!!”
“Aaaaack!!”

The warriors who had charged at me were all blown away. Like the fallen leaves you see when you open a window on a windy day. They flew away just like that.

Confirming that, I turned around.

“…This is, like, really.”
“…It seems like there’s nothing left for me to teach.”

They were looking at me with their mouths wide open.

“Kat.”
“Yeah.”
“You’re really… amazing.”

Cloudie was already so moved that tears were streaming down her face.

“I’m amazing to begin with.”

Winia and Hilde are sitting down, just how surprised are they?

“How can such immense power…”
“Risha. This isn’t that immense. They just filled the ranks. With guys like that, you can easily subdue them at this level.”

To a superhuman like me, rabble doesn’t work at all. Can the Afghan militia face nuclear weapons? Impossible. It’s the same principle. Even if thousands gather, they can’t stop it. If you could overcome nuclear weapons with just mental strength and anger, the Japanese Empire would have surrendered later.

“Look. Cloudie. The sight of the dark elves being completely crushed.”
“Really… it’s so touching… eugh, I can’t see well… hng… Kat… really, you’re so amazing… you’ve grown up so much without me noticing…”

Is flashiness important for skills after all? In terms of power, the Heavenly Demon Destruction Palm I fed to Adramalech was stronger.

Well, it’s also fun to sweep away the rabble with a cool area-of-effect skill.

I hugged the crying Cloudie with one arm.

“Seriously, I’m just constantly amazed now. Are you really going to become a god? If you become a god, share some of that divine power with me.”
“Hehehe, if I do become one later, I’ll give you as much as you want.”
“I’m going to live forever, seriously. Wow.”

Karin is constantly exclaiming in admiration.

Anyway, I left them behind and moved forward. I have things to do. Looking at them, the commanders and rulers who were there were kneeling.

ㅡHwaak!!

I flew to them, grabbed their collars with my hands, threw them, and piled them up in one place. The number of dark elves who identified themselves as various rulers was over thirty.

“Why…”

Gathering them all together, it was just a hopeless atmosphere. The guy wearing the most flamboyant hat among them looked up at me and lamented.

“Why is this happening…”
“It’s really the worst situation.”
“…”
“However. It’s even worse that this worst situation arose from a mere misunderstanding.”
“A misunderstanding… you say?”

The guy said with a bewildered face.

“Yes. A misunderstanding. A ridiculous misunderstanding at that. The Ear Hunter is not some symbol of an evil serial killer.”

I explained the situation to the dark elf rulers who were hanging their heads in despair.

“Rather, the Ear Hunter is an honorable title.”
“…”
“As you saw, the identity of the Ear Hunter is a half-elf, and her name is Cloudie.”

I explained the oppression she had experienced.

Cloudie has lived being despised for being a half-elf. So she killed all those who despised her and killed them again. She just threw the ears she collected into the city. It was just a noble and sacred act performed to protect her honor.

“That is the truth of the Ear Hunter.”
“…”

Silence.

“So, simply… because she was a half-elf, she was despised… she killed them all… and repeatedly performed the act of collecting ears and throwing them into the city?”

After the silence, the guy said that.

“Do you just stand still if someone weaker than you insults you?”
“…I’d kill them.”
“It’s the same, you bastard.”
“…”

Anyway, it was a really tragic misunderstanding.
However, Chun Ma Kim Kat grows by overcoming tragedy.

ㅡToday’s tragedy will make me stronger.

I only killed those among them who had a will to resist and spared the others. Even to stop this tragedy, those survivors must tell the other dark elves this fact. Once everyone knows the truth, they won’t attack anymore.

More than anything, the desert is fucking wide.

Even just these guys are just a part of the dark elf race. There are that many rulers. Fighting them all is a hassle.

I heard that dark elf kingdoms start appearing further down, and I don’t want such trouble happening there either.

“Father… you seem to be transforming into something more transcendent.”
“It’s a natural progression, Aria.”

I am feeling transcendence right now as Aria said… Is this feeling. A clue that will break my wall and make me grow?

“I will transcend everything.”

Having finished our work, we left this zone of death.

“Ugh…”

Looking at them, I saw soldiers who had somehow survived, spitting blood and digging through the sand to escape. It must feel almost like being reborn.

Like that.

We entered the Forbidden Desert.

Where the Colossus is.

*　*　*

Forbidden Desert.

After causing some chaos and entering this place, the pursuit stopped completely.

Actually, anyone who keeps chasing after seeing something like that is crazy.

Anyway, this is a place that even the residents of the desert avoid if possible. There are monsters, but there are also many who have fled here hoping that people won’t come to this side.

But that’s not a threat to us. And so we continued our journey.

Resting in an oasis.
Conducting searches again.

How many days had passed like that.

“Wow.”

Finally.

ㅡ…

We found the Colossus.

A huge. A very huge rock monster. A monster that seemed to be mixed with soil and rock… Its size was easily dozens of meters, and its mass seemed overwhelming as well. Is its appearance humanoid? But it doesn’t feel like the Colossus of Rhodes. It feels like a large golem with murderous rocks attached all over it.

It was crouching over there.

ㅡHwaaaaak.

The World Tree Crystal Ball emitted a strong green light.

“A fragment of God.”

Then that means it’s a guy that appeared during the Idol War.
