Vol 6. Chapter 169: Go Back to Your World

At the very moment of her ascension, a golden ripple burst outward from Safina’s body, spreading across the Time Palace. As the ripple swept past the Dragon Kings inside, the wounds Atos had inflicted on them just moments ago healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even the massive amounts of mana they had poured into Safina were instantly replenished.

They stared at their hands in astonishment.

Morgan clenched his fist, exclaiming in awe, "Incredible power... Is it the Time God’s unique ability restoring our bodies to their peak state?"

Odin murmured, "If that’s the case, we’ll be able to do more to help the prince."

"No time to waste—we’re heading out to support him!"

With that, Morgan took the lead, striding quickly toward the palace exit, the other Dragon Kings following close behind.

Rosvisser walked over to Aurora and gently took her small hand.

The mother and daughter looked back at Safina seated on the throne. Her expression was calm—but a gentle smile rested on her lips. Aurora couldn’t understand why she was smiling. But Rosvisser, with all her years of life experience, could tell—that smile meant relief and release.

It was as if Safina had finally untied some knot in her heart. To her, it was just as vital as self-redemption.

Was it... that girl named Anita? Rosvisser wondered.

She didn’t ask. She simply whispered to the young god on the throne:

"Thank you."

Then she turned and left the Time Palace, hand in hand with her daughter.

...

...

Leon and Kaiser stood shoulder to shoulder, both gasping for breath. They stared wordlessly at Atos’s ruined body. And then... at how he began to recover once again.

To be honest, this combination of immortality and infinite power was far more terrifying than they had imagined.

"Hey, Leon," Kaiser asked hoarsely, "Can you still activate that state from before?"

Leon shook his head.

"The Core needs to recharge. I don’t know how long it’ll take, but... definitely not soon."

Kaiser clicked his tongue.

"Any other trump cards you’ve been hiding?"

Leon shook his head again.

"No. You?"

"None."

The two battle-worn warriors had reached their limit. If Atos came at them again, they had nothing left to stop him.

"Looks like you two are really at your limit now."

Dragging his cursed sword, Atos walked slowly toward them.

"I was going to completely crush your spirits before I killed you, ...but since you Samael rats always come up with some ridiculous surprises... I’ve decided to skip the pleasantries. I’ll kill you both—especially you, traitor Kaiser."

He raised his sword and slashed. A wave of sword energy swept up sand and debris, hurtling toward Leon and Kaiser at the speed of light.

They tried to muster some kind of resistance, but their exhausted bodies could no longer summon magic.

Leon gritted his teeth, lowering his gaze, eyes locked onto the oncoming blade. This time, it really seemed like the end...

Then, from the corner of his eye, he caught a flicker of gold rippling beneath his feet.

Before he could even process what it was, his battered body healed completely in an instant. Even the magical reserves within the three Dragon Kings stored inside him had been refilled.

Stunned, he glanced at Kaiser, but Kaiser hadn’t changed at all.

No time to think. Leon instantly activated Sumeru Shadow

BOOM!

The sword wave was completely nullified.

"What the hell...?" he muttered.

"Brother!!"

A familiar voice called from behind.

Leon turned to see the Dragon Kings arriving one after another, standing by his side.

From that, he could guess what had happened.

"You guys... did it?"

Rosvisser nodded.

"Yes. We succeeded. It’s thanks to Safina. She used the Time God’s power to restore us to peak condition."

Hearing the plan had succeeded, Kaiser’s gaze dimmed slightly. Still, he remained his usual silent self around others.

Rosvisser, after handing Aurora to Cecilia, hurried to Leon’s side. Looking closely, she noticed Kaiser hadn’t recovered like the others.

"Why didn’t Kaiser get healed?" she asked.

Leon thought for a moment.

"Probably because the Time God’s power only affects people of Samael. Like how the Web of Time can only see the fates of Samael’s people. Kaiser’s from the Void Realm, so it didn’t work on him."

"I see..."

Everyone turned toward the expanding golden ripple. It swept across mountains and rivers, restoring shattered peaks, refilling dried riverbeds with water; Even the Silver Dragon Sanctuary—split in two—was being restored in a way that defied all understanding.

And then, the cruelest battlefield of all... When the ripple passed over the bodies of the fallen Silver Dragon warriors, They rose again—reborn from the smoke and ash and blood.

Even Leon could barely believe what he saw.

"This is... the might of the Time God."

Reversing death. Transcending laws. Bringing hope to all living beings amid despair.

And now that the position of the Time God had been filled, the world of Samael once again had the power to suppress the Gate of the Void.

Wherever the golden ripple passed, all Void Rifts closed instantly.

Only one remained: Atos’s temporary cross-shaped Rift.

"Atos is immortal," Leon said quietly. "So we have to force him back to the Void Realm. We’ll use that last Rift."

"Understood."

The Dragon Kings transformed into their true forms, hovering behind Leon and Rosvisser.

Atos clenched his sword unconsciously, watching them.

"Safina... You bastard... To go this far for these Samael primitives... I’ll kill you!"

He roared, unleashing a surge of terrifying Void energy.

He charged with his blade, launching multiple waves of sword energy. But from the ground below, thick walls of sand erupted upward to block them.

The attacks smashed through the walls, but their force had been greatly reduced.

Then, three blazing trails of flame shot toward him. Each streak leaving a fiery tail behind, dissipating the sword waves entirely.

Constantine flapped his wings, shedding a ring of protective flame. In a blink, he appeared directly before Atos.

Gripping his warhammer in both hands, he slammed it down with the weight of molten fury.

Ultra-S Level Fire Magic – Crimson Dragon’s Wrath!

"Just you?" Atos sneered.

He blocked the blow easily.

But before he could counterattack, a blue magic circle lit up beneath his feet.

Dozens of watery tendrils surged out from the array, coiling around his arms and wrists.

Ultra-S Level Water Magic – Cage of the Raging Sea!

"You damn—filthy—lower creatures!!"

Atos roared, breaking the binds. Void power exploded from his body, blasting Constantine away.

But the Dragon Kings weren’t finished.

As he broke free of Constantine and Claudia’s assault, two massive orbs of greenish-blue light streaked toward him.

Their surfaces crackled with annihilating arcs—pure lightning.

Ultra-S Level Lightning Magic – Doomstrike Cataclysm!

Atos raised his blade to block.

But just as one orb was about to hit him—it vanished into thin air.

Atos blinked. Then sneered.

"What kind of garbage spell is that? If it can’t even hit the enemy, don’t embarrass yourself."

He slashed and destroyed the remaining orb.

But before he could even finish mocking... The vanished orb reappeared behind him.

He turned—too late to defend.

BOOM!

Lightning exploded. Smoke and ash filled the air.

Atos staggered back, barely keeping his footing. He clenched his teeth, pain searing through his back.

"How... did they do that...?"

Odin and the Tower Master stood side by side. The latter muttered,

"Seems our coordination’s still as good as it was back then, Odin."

"Don’t let your guard down, old man," Odin warned. "Doomstrike Cataclysm won’t kill him."

Atos’s body began to regenerate again.

At that moment, a blast of dragon flame and a crescent-shaped bolt of lightning descended from the sky, slamming him front and back simultaneously.

"I’ve had enough of this!! I’m done with you bastards!!"

Atos tried once more to break through. He had only one way to end this—kill Safina.

The Time God’s power couldn’t affect a Void-being like him. If he killed her—this would all be over.

He gathered energy. The eye on the cursed sword’s hilt trembled violently.

But just as he was about to strike, A beam of pure white light lit up above him.

He froze. Looked up.

A small black figure hovered above, arms raised, gathering the purest Primordial Magic.

"You little brat...!"

The golden ripple had restored Noa as well.

Primordial Magic – Divine Radiance!

The sealing spell locked Atos’s movements briefly. And before he could go berserk, Mevis, who had just cast Thunder Moon Slash, darted in and carried Noa to safety.

"Big sis is here now. Be careful, little one!"

The Dragon Kings continued their assault. All to create a single, precious opening.

The seal from Divine Radiance would only last a few seconds.

But... it was enough.

Leon and Rosvisser stood side by side. Leon reached out with his left hand. Together, they gripped the Holy Spear – Gungnir.

Lightning arced along the golden shaft. Wind and flame swept around them like dancing spirits.

A silver thread of fate stretched from the spear’s tip—straight to Atos’s heart.

Once thrown... Gungnir never missed.

"Let’s end this, Rosvisser."

"Yes."

They leaned forward, gathered their strength and hurled the spear together!

Gungnir tore through the air, its blazing arc trailing white heat.

It shot toward Atos, carrying not just the hopes of Leon and Rosvisser, but of all Samael.

Holy Spear · Dragonrider Variant – Silver Thunder Blaze!

Atos broke free of the seal. Facing the incoming spear, he raised his cursed sword.

Blade met spear tip. The impact unleashed a storm of energy.

Gungnir’s light scorched his body, while Void power desperately healed the damage.

The silver thread of fate was a taxing skill. Rosvisser had used it only once before and collapsed from the strain.

But now...

Not only did she have Leon fighting beside her, but Safina’s time magic was keeping them both at peak form.

Together, they had the strength to face Atos.

"We’ll lend you our power too!"

The Dragon Kings poured their magic into the spear.

This blow—Silver Thunder Blaze—represented all of Samael’s top forces. There was no retreat.

Only by sending Atos back to the Void could they win.

"You insects... you lowly creatures think you can stand against me?!"

Void energy exploded from Atos’s body.

The cursed blade clashed again with Gungnir and began pushing it back.

"This is our home—our land! We won’t hand it over to a madman like you!!"

Rosvisser summoned a surge of seven-colored light, channeling it into the spear.

"If we fail now, then everything Safina endured will be for nothing. We won’t let that happen!"

The Soul Verdict began taking effect.

Atos’s vicious aura started to weaken. Even his overwhelming power dimmed.

Leon unleashed his own thunder magic, eyes blazing.

"Atos—get the hell back to your world!!"

Lightning split the dark clouds ahead.

Gungnir surged forward again, grinding against the cursed sword, pushing it back step by step.

Energy raged. Atos dug in his heels, carving deep trenches into the earth.

Then—he realized something.

A flicker of doubt crossed his predator eyes.

He gritted his teeth, then muttered coldly,

"In that case..."

CRACK!

A crisp shattering sound rang out from the center of the clash.

The unbeatable cursed sword began to crack. Fractures spread from the tip, down the blade, through the hilt, and ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) then...

BOOM!!

The sword exploded into shards.

Gungnir—now unstoppable—plunged straight toward Atos’s heart.
