Turns Out To Be a Genius Duelist - Chapter 309: Ark (2)

Chapter 309 Ark (2)

Yoon-seok thought about it once before. An era in which various species dominated the entertainment industry and Moorim warriors argued on the Internet. Wouldn’t there be a future like that in-store if they survived?

‘Who would’ve thought it would come true?’

Yoon-seok smirked. It hadn’t happened yet, but he would get to bear witness to that sight soon. Although he had a lot of things left to do first…

’I can do it. For sure.’

Yoon-seok didn’t doubt it. Wouldn’t he someday get to the end of this long journey? From now on, he had no choice but to move forward until his very last breath.

「Unique Power Last Ark has been used.」

「In one hour, all beings and the territory of Levant Neutral will be transferred to the Earth.」

It wasn’t difficult to persuade Ragna Hambledon and her father, the mayor of Levant. Rather, he was the one who mentioned migration as soon as he saw Yoon-seok.

“I guess it doesn’t start right away.”

“…Then please keep it up until then.”

“Yes. We’re in a hurry, so we can talk about the rest after returning.”

“I… it’ll be fine, right?”

“Yes. I’ll be heading your way in an hour as soon as I get there. Don’t worry too much.”

After bringing in the Planet Guardian, Ashton and various experts made several simulations to create a manual. Although the manual didn’t predict invaders falling from the sky…

‘If it’s Ashton, he’ll manage it somehow.’

Since then, Yoon-seok moved throughout Levant Neutral for the time being to slaughter invaders, if it meant to save one more person.

And how long had it been?

Whoosh-!

The wind began to blow in from all directions.

Flash-!

With a flash of light, the entire island disappeared. The ocean stirred and poured down like a waterfall to fill the sudden emptiness. Yoon-seok blankly watched that scene for a long time.

’If we move the land like this, wouldn’t the sea level rise?’

That was what he suddenly thought… he remembered Ashton mentioning it, so he was more relieved. He didn’t hear about the countermeasure, but they knew about this problem. There must be a way, then. Even if it didn’t work with existing science, wasn’t this a world with all kinds of rampant superpowers?

“Did it transfer over properly?”

“…Maybe.”

If he wanted to be sure, it’d be better to go to Earth himself… well, Lee Su-yeon would likely contact him before too long.

’So this is at least over for now….’

Yoon-seok moved to his next destination with Peter Remus.

“If we’re heading in this direction, are we going to Saintrion?”

“Yes.”

“All of them know how to use sacred power so that they might be of help… there’s no way they’ll abandon this holy land and move on to another dimension, though?”

Peter knew Yoon-seok’s destination and expressed his doubt, but there was one fact he didn’t know. Yoon-seok negotiated directly with their god himself.

“…That’s not the case.”

But how could he say that migration to the Earth would help them stay forever?

‘If this happens, will there be another religion on Earth?’

He was worried about religious disputes, but likely nothing would come of it. Guwon-gyo was already gaining ground, and now that this religion had a god proven to exist, nothing much would change. People would believe in what they wanted to, same as before.

“You’re here.”

The Pope greeted Yoon-seok as soon as they arrived in a much more polite way than before.

“I’ve been waiting for you.”

“What do you mean you’ve been waiting?”

Yoon-seok tilted his head. Come to think of it, even when he was entering, people were bowing in lines as if god himself had descended.

“There was an oracle.”

As soon as doomsday began. Well, that would speed up the conversation.

“All preparations have been made to leave for the promised land, so please lead us there. Unknown wanderer!”

“W-What kind of weird…”

Peter Remus was stunned, but it was different for Yoon-seok.

“Yes, I will.”

It was a blessing to skip a long conversation at this time.

「Unique Power Last Ark has been used.」

「In one hour, all beings and territory of Holy Land Saintrion will be transferred to the Earth.」

Peter activated his power.

“Then try to relax again.”

“…I’m kinda feeling sick. Can I stay behind you this time?”

“Staying next to me is the best option.”

“…”

Like in the Levant earlier, Yoon-seok went up to execute invaders until the hour ended. The territory was much wider than the Levant, but honestly, it was much easier to defend. Other than the holy warriors who trained in battle since childhood, there were combat priests and supporters. Even before Yoon-seok arrived, they were already doing a good job defending.

“I will be waiting for you there.”

A light flashed, and the entire territory of Saintrion vanished. Although the cut surface at the borders was kind of eerie…

Swaaaaaaaaaa-

Perhaps as the seawater filled the empty spot where Levant Neutral was, these traces would vanish one day too.

“It feels strange to see this kingdom disappear.”

Strictly speaking, it hadn’t disappeared. It just moved to a new land. Just as those who left Earth created a new world called Moorim, they would also go to a new world.

“Is it a bummer?”

“…It’s a lie to say otherwise since I was born and raised in this place,”

It was clear what the future Seheranbad, his hometown, would face after abandonment. Instead of comforting him with vague words, Yoon-seok waited silently until Peter finished thinking.

“Thank you for the concern. It’s done. Let’s go.”

“Are you sure you’re okay?”

“Everything lives to become history from nature to animals and humans. They formed groups to survive and soon became states. This will eventually be a natural course of action.”

Yoon-seok, who had been surviving harder than anyone else, could sense what he was trying to say. Perhaps he chose this as his Unique Power because he knew what survival meant.

“I’m okay so we can leave now. You should finish what you have to do.”

“Yes.”

Yoon-seok headed to where the Demon Kingdom Geronian once existed.

“Testament 16:3! Read it!”

“Don’t be in pain. Don’t be afraid. I weigh all sins in my hands, and this hardship will strengthen me!”

“Isn’t this also an ordeal for freedom!”

“Fighttttttttttttt!”

It would be easier to persuade them than Saintrion, as they pushed the invaders away using a human-wave strategy. One word from him, and it was done.

“I can’t believe it! It’s the Blood Lord!”

“Are we going there? To the land of salvation…!”

“Mom, wake up! We! We’re finally able to go there!”

The word quickly passed through the masses fighting on the battlefield, and the whole area was filled with shouting.

“Wahhhhhhhhhh!”

“Fight and bleed until the end! We must fight!”

“The Blood Lord is with us!”

In terms of radicality alone, Yoon-seok was even comparable to the King of Steel and his followers.

“What have you been up to…?”

“…I’m not sure either.”

How did these people emerge? Yoon-seok gave up thinking about it.

’Well, I’m sure it went well…?’

The Bloodseeker Sect was different from Levant Neutral. In the midst of this, they readily fought back against the invaders, so they had the power to protect themselves. Apart from that imprudent loyalty, they would be a great help on Earth.

Flash-!

How long had it been since he gladly fought alongside these believers? A flash of light surrounded the Earth, and the former Geronian was transferred.

It was then he received a call from Lee Su-yeon.

—Oppa!

—Oh, Su-yeon. I was waiting for your call. How are things over there?

—I knew you would be curious, so I called. Levant Neutral sent reinforcements on the spacecraft.

—What about Saintrion?

—Only the location has been confirmed, and I think it’s still in contact. How about you? Are things going well?

—Yeah, just one more, and I’ll be done. So ask Ashton to check later.

—Where is it this time?

Yoon-seok was speechless for a moment. How should he explain that?

—…There is, you’ll know when you see it. Say my name and send them to any urgent places if necessary.

—Okay.

Yoon-seok ended the call.

“Where are we going next? Wizard Kingdom Fredden? Or Human Beast Nation Ewin?”

Yoon-seok slowly shook his head. Who could say what would happen, but those two weren’t on the list right now. Unlike the other countries, they don’t have any significant connection with Yoon-seok. It would take a few days or even weeks to persuade them. Or it might not work at all.

‘Well, things might change if this situation becomes urgent.’

“Anyway, the next place we’re going to is the Katlan Empire.”

“Katlan Empire…? Come to think of it, you know the Princess, right?

Sort of.

“Yes. If it were there, they would accept this proposal.”

“The daughter of the Neutral Country’s Mayor, the Pope, and the Princess. You’re not from here, but you sure have over-the-top connections.”

Yoon-seok smiled awkwardly at Peter. He didn’t mean to, but it just happened.

’Ah, is this person equivalent to the United States president?’

Yoon-seok smiled and ran across the sea once more. Who knew? A loser once living such a poor life was now traveling dimensions and implementing these ridiculous plans.

“…You’re like a man without walls.”

“What does that mean?”

“No one runs without knowing the end to do what they wouldn’t dare otherwise.”

”…You think so?”

“Yes. I have always wondered why so many people decided to follow you, but I think I know the answer now.”

“Why?”

Looking down, Peter smiled.

“Where is the last destination you’ve been hoping to go? I’ve been watching for some time, but I can’t stop myself from asking. Can it be that different from any other?”

“…”

“What do you want? Do you want the same thing as those who look for hope while looking at you? Or is there something else?”

Yoon-seok was a little taken aback. Maybe it was because he’d never been asked such a direct question until now. But if he had to answer…

“Certainly, it might have been different in the past.”

When tremendous power was placed in his hands, when he pushed his anger at the world, it was different then. He wanted those evils to be corrected. That was his wish.

But…

“Does that mean it’s not now?”

Yoon-seok nodded without hesitation.

It wasn’t like that anymore. It was no longer different or special.

And because of that, it had to be achieved.
