The swing of the black trident, which was as large as a 400-meter lighthouse, sent the Jagers flying. The wind caused by the swing of the trident made the dust around the portal billow upwards. As the Ordog king swung his trident again, the few people who managed to dodge began to attack him. They created a combination attack to tie up the giant's body.
"Hey, tell me how!" Adam tried to think. He was still looking for a way to defeat the Ordog king. "You have to die." Paladin gave the answer. "What do you mean?" Adam was confused. "I will drain my maximum power into your body. Your body will be destroyed, but you will evolve into a being equal to Paladin. Let's call it half-Paladin. With that evolution, you can use up to 80 percent of my power. That's enough to kill him." The Paladin had finished explaining. Adam felt indecisive. He who had just come back to life did not want to die again. Moreover, this time there was no guarantee for him to live again. Paladin left the decision to Adam. But if that man did not choose that decision, then it was certain that the entire world would end!The few people who tried to stop the Ordog king's movement failed. Within seconds, a black beam shot out of the giant's eyes. The laser beam destroyed everything in its path. Instantly, several people within the laser's aim died. Seeing that, a very loud scream was heard from the female Jager. They were so scared that they covered their ears with both hands. "We can't win!""I don't want to die here!""Help...!"Save me!"The cries of the frightened people rang out all the way to Adam's place. They all felt panicked. In fact, the power of the Paladins they had could not keep up with the Ordog King. Once again... the Ordog King attacked. This time he raised his trident up. Then he slowly slammed the lower end of the trident into the ground. A loud bang sounded like a gong being struck. Within seconds, an enormous wave of energy rolled through the air around him. Everyone around the Ordog King was burnt to a crisp when hit by the energy wave. Adam, who was behind them all, chose to flee. He made a replica of a motorcycle using his light. "It's bad!""That wave could kill us!"Adam rode his motorcycle very fast through the rubble. But the speed of the energy wave propagating through the air far exceeded the speed of his motorcycle. "Adam! Decide right now!""Choose! Do you want to die and kill that thing, or do you want to die by that energy wave?!"The Paladin had shouted in the man's heart. The energy wave was already a few meters behind Adam. It asked him to decide quickly. "Adam!""What is your decision?!""Hurry!”The back of the motorcycle was slowly destroyed by the energy wave. Adam knew that he was going to die soon. And when the Ordog King stomped his trident into the ground again, a second wave appeared. The speed of that wave was twice as fast as the first energy wave. In the blink of an eye, Adam was gone. The Ordog King cried out in a very loud voice. If you can imagine the combined voices of lions, robots, and giants in a fantasy land, that was the voice of the Ordog King. He was cheering loudly because he had successfully killed all the Jagers. However, just as he was about to head back into the portal, a shot pierced the king's right shoulder. The boom of the weapon sounded very loud. And the Ordog king saw who it was. "You?!" He finally made a sound."You finally spoke. I thought you couldn't speak before!" Adam floated in the air. His feet seemed to be resting on a slab of light. The diameter of the slab was about two meters. He was back! This time he carried 80 percent of the Paladin's power. Adam wore bright white armor on his body. The armor was so extraordinary that it was even equipped with a pair of bright white wings. In his left hand was a sniper rifle made from his light element. "Malachiel!""Hi, Gideon." The two greeted each other. Adam's mind was now 80 percent merged with the Paladin's. He recognized Malachiel's name. It was the name of his Paladin. And Gideon was the name of the Ordog king. "Insolent! You dare to meddle in human affairs?!" "I'm an ordinary human. Don't blame Malachiel, you freak!" Gideon was annoyed. He had not expected to be stopped by Malachiel, a Paladin who was a subordinate of one of the archangels. But the giant was undaunted. He was still bigger than Adam. And he didn't fight Malachiel directly. He was only fighting a weak human who was pitied by the Paladin."Looks like I'll have to kill you!" Gideon's tone was heavy and piercing. "Come forward!" Adam answered him loudly. Right in front of the dimensional portal, the two began to attack each other. Gideon used his trident. He swung the huge weapon at Adam. Fortunately, Adam was able to dodge easily."It's like a mosquito fighting with a child. Can we just skip to the killing part?" Adam was feeling impatient. He continued to fire at Gideon with his sniper rifle. Despite being hit several times, the Ordog king still did not give up on attacking Adam. Actually, who is being pitied here? And who was in the corner?"Malachiel, you're making me so angry!" Gideon swung his trident again. This time it was not a wave of energy, but a giant ball of energy that kept growing. The ball of energy was a kilometer above Gideon's head. "What is that? Is he trying to make a meteor?" Adam sensed something not good from the black-colored energy ball. Plus, it was currently the size of a football stadium. "He wants to destroy the entire city and bury you alive. That ball of energy has a power equivalent to ten nuclear bombs. Twenty times more powerful than the explosion at Hiroshima." Malachiel sensed that the energy accumulated in the ball was coming from inside the portal. And it was negative energy. "How do you know about Hiroshima? I thought the Paladins were blind to human knowledge." Adam felt confused."We have a walking library. Does that make sense to you? And now, can we get back to focusing on the creature?" Malachiel felt his chat with Adam was a waste of time."So, what's the plan?" Adam listened. "It's an ancient technique I once learned from my mentor. He was one of the archangels. I named it the time and space catalyst." Malachiel was using power he shouldn't be using. "Then let's do it quickly!" Unfortunately, Adam agreed without knowing what a time and space catalyst was. Malachiel took over Adam's consciousness for a moment. He connected 100 percent of his consciousness and mind with Adam's body. Through the man's medium, Malachiel created a white energy glow that grew larger and larger around his body. One hand pointed up, then the other hand pointed down. "Law! Catalyst!" Runic symbols appeared in the sky. They formed a circle. Its size covered the entire area of the city. When Gideon dropped his energy ball, Malachiel activated his runes to prevent that. And...Boom!!!"This is a gift from me to you. Live once more and stop them the right way. We will meet again when you realize who you really are." Those words always plagued Adam's mind when he slept. Dreams about the war between Ordog and himself, the ruined city, the dimensional portal in the middle of the city, and the glowing figure of a Paladin he did not recognize. All of those things continued to plague Adam for the rest of his life. "Another nightmare?" Someone greeted Adam who was asleep at his desk. "Sorry. These dreams have been coming for the past few years. I don't even know what it means." Adam stretched his neck muscles. After that, he drank the coffee he made last night."Hey, if you think the dream is related to Ordog's first invasion of Earth, then you've lived for a hundred years. You could be a survivor or a time traveler. But, that's not possible." Jonny; Adam's coworker laughed so hard that he forgot about the glass door in front of him. "Ouch!""Who moved the door?!"He w
"Get out of here!" One of the soldiers shouted once more before he was killed by one of the Ordogs. The citizens immediately ran to save themselves. But unfortunately, the Ordogs who were shaped like birdmen immediately hunted down the fleeing citizens. Adam who was carrying Patrick immediately left the chaos. The loser who was good at running away finally showed his skills. He took a shortcut on a small road. His legs kept running until he reached the end of the road. "Oh, shit! "They're everywhere!" Adam ran into the Ordogs again. He turned right and ran away from them. Together with the people, he continued to run towards his office which was not far from the road. Unfortunately, the bird-man Ordog chased after him. The claws on the Ordog's legs slashed at both of Adam's shoulders, causing him to fall forward. And the cat also fell and escaped from his hands."Patrick!"Unfortunately, the cat ran off without him. It seemed that Patrick really knew how to return a favor to his
The situation outside the administration building was getting messy. After the administration building was destroyed, the people who took refuge inside chose to leave for the mountains to the south. Even so, the Ordogs were still on the loose to hunt down the humans still around the portal. The black gorilla was still serving the few Jagers and soldiers who kept urging him to return to the portal. "Are you coming with me?" Jonny asked his friend to come with him to the south. "Sorry, but I'm staying here." Adam felt that there were many things to take care of in the city. "Are you crazy?! Why do you want to stay here?" Jonny found his friend very strange. "Patrick is out there. I have to find him." Adam's reasoning made no sense. "Patrick? He's just a cat! You want to risk your life for him?" Jonny felt like his friend's brain was broken. "Whatever you say, but I'll stay here." Adam remained in the administration building. He refused his friend's offer. "Whatever you say!" Jonn
"Is there any guarantee that the portal won't close while I'm inside?" "Of course not. No one knows what will happen."Adam felt unsure about going inside. However, looking at the injured people, the destroyed buildings, and the dead, he felt their sacrifice should be atoned for. If the portal remained open, Adam feared a second attack from Ordog. "Hey! You!" Someone shouted at him. Adam looked down. He saw a Jager who asked him to come. It looked like the person was a senior Jager. It was obvious from his rather old face. "You shot that thing?""That's right.""Are you one of the Jagers?""No, I'm not. I'm just a citizen.""Just a citizen? That doesn't make sense.""Then why?""An ordinary person with Jager powers as strong as yours should be in the Jager organization. Are you a newcomer?" The Jager continued to ask her questions. He was curious about the identity of the man who had killed the black gorilla. While the junior and senior Jagers cleaned up the mess, he continued to
The shot caused the crystal at the top of the tower to crack and slowly disintegrate in an explosion. A wave of energy swept through the air to where Kato and Oliver were. Both immediately turned their heads towards the portal that was quite a distance away from where they were. "The portal is shrinking!" Kato shouted."We have to hurry! I don't want to get stuck in this dimension!" Oliver recreated the shadow horse. Since there was no time left, Kato got on the horse as well. Oliver rode his horse at full speed. He used his Mana to speed up his horse. "The portal is closing very fast!" Oliver was afraid he wouldn't be able to catch up. They were currently about a kilometer away from the portal. "Maybe I can do this!" Kato remembered his teleportation technique. His memory of the battle between himself and Gideon had come in handy. "Do what?" Oliver doubted that they would make it in time. Before snapping his fingers, he held Oliver's shoulder with one hand. And when he snapped
"The origin of Jager?" Oliver only knew that the story originated a hundred years ago. He didn't understand what the story had to do with Adam."Find him first. Then bring him to me. I'll explain it again." Bruce turned away from the man while looking at his employees downstairs. His office was on the second floor. The hundredth floor was divided into two floors, where the second floor was reserved for the leader. "Alright. I'll look for him." Oliver left the room. But before he went through the door, Bruce wanted his friend to help the juniors to design the Jager entrance exam. Elsewhere, Adam felt all his Mana draining away. His body looked weak. He even had to walk using a wooden stick. He was currently in the south. Far from the city where he lived. Around him there were only rice fields, trees, mountains, rivers, and very simple houses. "I need to rest. My heart feels like it's going to explode." Adam chose to sit on a large rock. He stopped his steps and rested for a moment o
On a new day, early in the morning, Adam felt strange sleeping in the same bed as the stranger he had just met. The bed he slept in was also made of teak wood. The bed looked worn and old. He slowly sat up for a moment and tried to focus. Every bone and muscle in his body ached. He didn't know that the side effects of using Jager's power could be that severe. "Why is it so quiet?" Adam walked out of the house. As he opened the door, he was mesmerized by the sight of the cornfield that he could see more clearly than last night."Wow!"The air was also clean and fresh. This was the first time in his life he felt so grateful. The blue sky with few clouds, the morning sun on the eastern horizon, the luxurious view of the cornfields, Adam felt like he was vacationing in a piece of heaven. "Are you awake?" Ryan greeted. He carried some gardening tools in both hands."What are you doing?" Adam approached him. "The corn will be harvested soon. I'm just checking whether there are any pests
"Then make a deal with him. You can't just take over that young man's body. We have rules to follow." Malachiel didn't like his friend using Ryan's body as a vehicle to fight the Ordogs. He wanted his friend to abide by the rules of heaven. "Alright, I understand! I'll make a deal with him. Are you satisfied?!" Heliel returned to Ryan's body. The two of them swapped positions again. But before Ryan could take over his body again, Heliel brought him to a space dimension. The space dimension or pocket dimension was a place created by the Paladins in between the real dimension and also the host's mind dimension. It was like the human subconscious, but real and existed within the host. Heliel asked Ryan to make a contract with him. He was rather pushy with the young man. The explanation Heliel gave to his host was also not very clear. Whereas Malachiel had previously given Adam a second chance by appearing charismatic, polite, sincere, and very friendly, Heliel was the opposite. He was
