Chapter 273 272. A Reunion With An Old Friend?

After all of the black smoke in the room was sucked into the black hole, Eshwar destroyed the boss room's door because he knew that the mannequin existed until there was his black smoke, so he waited until everything was sucked into the black hole while trying to merge the dance steps with the footwork techniques in his memories. Though it was slightly awkward, he didn't mind it one bit because he knew he was getting stronger. Stronger without anybody's influence, not even Seol So-Young's, who had directed his life up to a certain extent. And with the help of Seol So-Young's memories, he knew everything in that story, including the strengths of the fallen that were mentioned in the story.

The fallen need to be killed to make them ascend back to heaven with their divinity intact, so there really wasn't much to the fallen except for them being absurdly strong, strong enough to beat Eshwar even when he had the karma with both mana and aether, which he would have forcibly gained control over, with a lot of terrible consequences, if he hadn't learned about the clock of fate's existence. Of course, he willingly let go of that opportunity because it felt like the right thing to do.....but the real reason was that he didn't really want to play along with some kid's imagination.

And what shocked him was the fact that he was defeated without a chance to fight back against the fallen in the novel Seol So-Young. Though it was absurd of him to think he could easily defeat a god, you couldn't really blame him because the story had taken a turn for a cliché novel's plot in the middle, with a sh*tload of the insane abrupt power-ups without any sense whatsoever and whatnot.

And what was even more absurd was the fact that it was happening to him in real life, since in reality common scenes come into play so the abrupt insane power ups weren't possible, hence the reason he would abruptly get dragged into different spaces where he found power ups due to the plot armour.

And during his time in the dungeon, Eunomia spoke to him quite a lot and also warned him about his existence disappearing or turning into "chaos" itself upon death, which motivated Eshwar to train a lot harder since he knew the dangers the fallen posed, though it was only verbally.

Much to Eshwar's annoyance, it took nearly another half a year for every single particle of the black smoke to get sucked into the black hole, which he destroyed soon after.

BOOOMMM!

A long-black-haired and long-black-bearded manly figure destroyed the black hole with a flick of the golden-colored trident he held in his right hand. He only had a small pair of torn trousers to cover his lower body. He had a perfect lean and chiselled body that seemed ready to combat from a glance, but with another glance, one could be terrified to notice that his skin seemed to stick to his muscles, highlighting all of the scars that were previously hidden beneath the perfectly healed skin, which only Isha had noticed till now.

WHOOOOMMM

Soon, a portal manifested in the middle of the boss room, and Eshwar frowned in surprise because he hadn't seen anything like that before.

'It is time to return to her.' He muttered in his mind, and a small smile crept up on his lips just from the thought of meeting her.

He walked into the gate that appeared in front of him, and soon, he walked out from the other side of the gate, which was in a forest area with tall trees, and it was night. The trees in front of him were tall, almost as tall as the skyscrapers in the human domain. He then abruptly remembered how he had described the Elven Domain in the novel and understood that he was now in the Elven Kingdom, so he slightly made his presence known, and within a few minutes an entire army of Elves and Dark Elves surrounded him.

Soon, his gaze landed on a familiar figure that stood in vanguard; he then disappeared and reappeared behind him with a slight smile on his face, while he continued to make his presence known. So as soon as the familiar figure sensed him appear behind him, without a hint of hesitation in his slashes, he swung his daggers aimed at Eshwar's neck, which he perfectly dodged and weaved, getting a perfectly trimmed full beard from the attacks of the dark elf, who was dumbfounded and enraged at his enemy when he realised what Eshwar was doing.

"Chill, dude, I don't have any malicious intent, and if I had any..." Eshwar mumbled while dodging, and the dark elf slowed down his slashes when he heard the familiar dialogue, and suddenly, the long-black-haired figure in front of him disappeared.

Then the figure suddenly reappeared behind the dark elf, who did nothing anymore when he remembered Eshwar, the very first human that he himself had acknowledged. Soon, the familiar scene unfolded, but with a cold, black-veined dagger at his neck this time, as Eshwar leaned back.

"You would have done this." The dark elf mumbled with a smile.

"Exactly." Eshwar said with a slight smile and turned around to see the Dark Elf, who was staring back at him with a smile.

"How have you been, Legolin?" Eshwar asked Legolin, the dark elf that came to the human domain, to deliver the elven king's opinion on joining the alliance.

"Very well, it is good to see you again, but from the looks of it, you don't seem to be doing that well." Legolin spoke with a concerned look on his face.

"I'll explain about it in a bit, if they lower their weapons against me. I really don't wish to fight and accidentally kill somebody right now."
