Chapter 135
In the next moment, nobody could figure out what had happened . Even Dohyuk, who made it happen, didn't realize what happened, except for the fact that he realized that something had exploded out of his feet .
"What . . "
He couldn't even be prepared . A severe shock threw Dohyuk to the back as he came crashing down onto the metal floor . He was okay only because of Kasha, as she exploded on the ground right before Dohyuk came into contact .
That would've made Dohyuk burn, but his resistance against flames protected him .
Even then . . .
"…Ugh . "
Dohyuk spat blood from his mouth . It wasn't the landing . It was the shock itself that had damaged him . However, the explosion wasn't from Bill .
'I did it . '
He didn't know how he did it . Some mysterious power from his kick unleashed such a huge explosion .
"H-hey… do your… feet hurt?"
"What?"
Dohyuk then realized after hearing Kasha .
"Oh . "
The foot that he kicked with . There was nothing below his knee . It was as if his foot had been pulled out . Yet for Dohyuk, it wasn't something to be worried about . He put his hand into his pocket and reached for the ring .
"Digest . "
Through the light, his leg grew back . But as he stood up, his body shook as blood started flowing out from his nose . It seemed his internal injuries were much more severe . Since he could continue fighting, Dohyuk just shook his head and looked .
'Bill…'
Of course, his opponent was in a much worse state . It was so bad that Dohyuk didn't realize that the black soot that was looking at him was Bill at first . There was no more metal . His entire skin had been burnt into dark soot . Every part of his body was now melted and twisted .
After Bill let out a breath, Dohyuk realized he still had eyes and a mouth .
Bill looked at Dohyuk, and then looked down . He was in shock .
"I… uh…"
"Hey . "
Dohyuk's voice was shaky too . He couldn't feel the presence of a beast from Bill anymore . Was he doing some kind of a trick? To let Dohyuk believe that he was no longer a beast? A lot of theories flew past Dohyuk's mind . The most exact answer was that the mysterious attack that made him lose a leg struck Bill and brought forth some unknown change .
"Uh…"
Bill tried to speak, but he couldn't . Was it because his tongue was damaged? Or his vocal chord had burned? Maybe it was both . Dohyuk relaxed . It might be the wrong choice, but he thought he needed to approach Bill right now . He was still alive . He needed to get him back to his feet and listen to what he had to say .
That's when-
Dohyuk saw silver tentacles shooting up from Bill's back .
"BILL!!!"
Dohyuk ran at full speed . But it was too late . The silver tentacles shot down and penetrated Bill's chest . Bill spat out blood from his mouth as tentacle held up Bill's body and shook it .
-Thanks to you .
With the voice, the original master of this region showed himself . It first was like Blass, a metal body with no features, but it soon began showing its color .
-I can only bestow a fraction of my power… but it was still unpleasant to have a petty Nature oppress me in my own region .
Mayhab . The God of Steel . He now had a distinct human shape, more so than any god Dohyuk had faced until now . It seemed the god himself also was minded his appearance as he formed some armor to cover his metal body .
-So, didn't you have something to hand over to me?"
"…Put it down . "
-Hmm?
The head with a dignified helmet turned to Bill who was being hung up in the air .

-Oh, I'll grant you mercy on that .
And with that, the tentacle flicked it off to throw down Bill on the ground . Bill was thrown toward the opposite side of where Dohyuk was standing, but he didn't fall onto the ground .
Dohyuk gritted his teeth as he landed with Bill in his hands . He checked Bill first . He was almost like a corpse, but Dohyuk clearly saw it .
'He dodged it . '
Before the tentacle penetrated him, Bill moved very slightly . He had about 20cm diameter hole on his chest, but it did not penetrate his heart . Dohyuk heard the heartbeat from the man's chest and looked up .
-Oh, so I can receive my offering now?
"I don't know what you are talking about . "
No, Dohyuk knew exactly what he was talking about . The god in front of him was telling him to hand Jung Ilgyu over . Even when Bill did something to overpower the god, it was certain that the god had sensed Dohyuk and Jung Ilgyu's presence when they entered the region .
-Don't try to play games with me, young one .
Mayhab seemed relaxed even though he just barely got out of Bill's control and that his metal body was weak against Dohyuk's heat .
-I see you've emptied your faith .
"…Hah . "
-So, don't try to think that you can fool me .
And with that, Mayhab looked around . The change was already happening . The pool of metal that was boiling with Dohyuk's heat was now cooling .
-It was an interesting trick, but it's too much of power for a young one like you to wield, especially when you don't have that many followers .
Dohyuk did not object . He could've lied, but it seemed Mayhab really knew how much faith Dohyuk had left .
-Faith: 40,124
Needless to say, the power he used wasn't cheap at all .
-So, bring Jung Ilgyu to me now .

"You know he ran," Dohyuk said as he placed Bill on the ground .
"If you are saying that because you sensed us coming here, then you already know he's run already . "
If Jung Ilgyu was here, Mayhab could've just gone after him .
"Don't play games with ME and say what you want to say . "
-Hmmph .
Mayhab smiled arrogantly and snapped his fingers . From the port, figures popped up from the ground . It was Mayhab's people who had turned into metal like their master .
-Well, if you do not have my offering, you must pay for it otherwise .
Mayhab pointed toward the ground .
-Kneel . Kneel and serve your body and mind .
This .
This was what most gods wanted from Dohyuk after all . The god that had a human body . If a god were to be served by a such god, what would become of him? Until now, there was no god except Casita who had other gods under him .
"What if I say no?
-Then I will happily watch you fight . .
Mayhab's people wielded their weapons and armor . It was certain that their power far exceeded that of normal humans . Sure, they were weaker than Dohyuk, but without much faith for his power, there was no way for Dohyuk to win .
-You have two choices . Kneel, or give me time to be astonished .
"How about a third choice?" Dohyuk asked .
"You regret jumping into my business and running like a tin can . "
Then Mayhab became angry . But it seemed his pride held him back from shouting angrily .
"Don't worry . It won't take ten minutes . "
-Kill him .

Mayhab ordered and his men began running at Dohyuk .
And then . . .
All of them were thrown back . It wasn't Dohyuk's doing .
-Aru…
Mayhab turned back toward the sea where the streak of light came down .
"Oh, now you realize what's out there?"
Dohyuk's faith was almost empty . But it wasn't because of the heat he used with Kasha . Even before he came into the region, Dohyuk already had used up his most of faith to set his city on sail .
"You think I would come here alone?"
And let go of Jung Ilgyu?
Even with the unexpected situation with Bill, Dohyuk wasn't foolish enough to have the beast who could pose a threat to his city to run amok .
With the city in the center, the region itself was closing in . On the top of the wall, there were people with catapults, working on it busily .
Bill wasn't his main target . He was here to fight against Mayhab .
"You . "
>
Why would he come alone? Why would he fight alone?
He was not alone anymore .
>
Tens of thousands of people were helping Dohyuk .
"You're dead now . "Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
