About

The sky split open and the earth shrieked. The sturdy cities built by human civilization crumbled like sandcastles under the mere aftershocks of the magical power radiating from the Monarchs. Emerging from the cracks in the dimensions were the Monarchs of Destruction, the beings who would bring about the end of the world. "In the end, this place shall be your grave, Shadow Monarch." The Monarch of Frost, emitting a white brilliance that seemed ready to freeze the very earth, let out a sneer. Behind him, the Monarch of Beastly Fangs, leading tens of thousands of magic beasts, and the Monarch of Plagues, marching while distorting space itself, pressed down on the world with an immense sense of pressure. In the face of this overwhelming despair, the air grew heavy, and humanity found it difficult to even breathe. However, the man standing alone before them, Sung Jinwoo, did not waver. Instead, his shadow writhed as if alive, stretching out in all directions from beneath his feet. Sung Jinwoo spoke in a low murmur. "Arise." At that single word, the silent earth convulsed. The pure darkness that began at Jinwoo's toes spread like a tidal wave, and from within it, a massive Shadow Army numbering in the hundreds of thousands rose up. Igris, the Knight Commander clad in pitch-black armor, drew his sword, and the massive Iron let out a roar. The sky was filled with the Shadow Dragon Kaisel and magic beast forces, instantly covering the world in darkness. Finally, the all-out war between the Monarchs of myth and the Shadow Army that rules over death began. "Graaaaaagh!" The wolf beasts led by the Monarch of Beastly Fangs and the Shadow Knights collided head-on. The roar of breaking bones and splattering flesh filled the battlefield. The Monarch of Frost created massive ice spears and rained them down on Sung Jinwoo, but Jinwoo led the space with lightning speed, wielding his daggers. Explosions erupted as the frost magic was torn apart wherever his daggers passed. "How dare you wield the power of a god in a human body!" As the Monarch of Plagues released venom and swarms of insects to contaminate the battlefield, Sung Jinwoo's Shadow Mages simultaneously fired powerful fire magic, incinerating the air. The battlefield was no longer a realm for humans. It was a battlefield of gods where space cracked and dimensions twisted. Sung Jinwoo took one step forward at a time, taking on the offensive of countless enemies alone. The dark aura emanating from his body was already overwhelming the momentum of the enemy Monarchs. "The destruction you brought ends here." Sung Jinwoo's two daggers ignited with black flames, aiming for the Monarchs' throats. It was the moment the Shadow Monarch, who had reached the end of true leveling up, completed his great hunt.
