Chapter 200 - [11th Round] Extinction
Chapter 200 - [11th Round] Extinction
Coooooooo-
A huge child with a golden wreath on his head was summoned. He looked like my reincarnation in the Northern Continent of Fantasy.
The gifted child had plump arms and legs, a large head, and two eyes burning like the sun, in which an innate sense of justice could be seen.
Why not a handsome muscular man, but a child?
That was because humans had the largest potential around that age. And I was a ‘Human Spirit.’ I had to summon an incarnation that had the most distinct human characteristics.
? Race: Royal Spirit
? Level: 9999+
? Job: Emperor (Collection = Experience ↑)
? Skills: Purification ZZZ, Swordsmanship ZZZ, Dark Energy Resistance ZZZ, Divinity ZZ, Empowerment ZZ…
? Status: Complicated
It would have been nice if the race was the same as well, but unfortunately, it was “unique.” It replaced racial traits and features.
He was the emperor that gained experience points when collecting taxes. It wasn’t limited to just that, too. Tributes, bribes, servants, treasures, concubines, territories…
His experience increased every time he acquired ownership or control of something. The higher the value, the more he gained.
It was one of the jobs I wanted to experience at least once. He inherited Boris’s skills. His appearance was modeled after me, but she was the source of Captain Fantasy’s power.
“Chaoooo~!”
“Waaah waah waah!”
It even had vocal features!
A roar thundered through the place, swiftly followed by a fierce battle between Noebius the Dragon King and Captain Fantasy.
Boom! Boom!
Two supreme beings fought amid a dark plane completely devoured by a poisonous fog.
Naturally, they were far from being equals.
They both had the same level of 9999+, but in reality, everything in the world of Fantasy had become Noebius’s source of strength, putting him in a different league.
“So the day has come when I have to resort to this.”
I activated the ‘Brave’ skill that I had been hiding. It reduced everyone’s level to 1, balancing the battlefield.
I was worried that it wouldn’t work on him, but the pitch-black dragon’s unprecedented speed had clearly slowed down.
I did as well, but not as much as he did.
“Choooo!”
It would’ve been nice if he became even just a little bit flustered, but he had always hated Fantasy’s skills. Hence, he showed no hesitation despite his level dropping to the bottom.
His reaction was quite the opposite. Instead of relying on his skills, he actively utilized his natural strength and breathing.
There was a way for Captain Fantasy to handle that.
“Waa!”
In one shot, the dragon was hit with a heavy head-butt.
Even though he wasn’t suited for martial arts due to his short arms and legs, his head was huge and rock-hard.
Despite being strong enough to withstand meteorites with ease, Noebius’ scales were crushed.
? Absurdity: No words can ever express or describe this scenario… There’s nothing left for you in this world, which begs the question: what are you fighting for?
‘Trainee teacher, don’t waste precious time on unnecessary philosophical contemplations and just cheer for me.’
I didn’t just fool around as the Great Monster War transpired before me.
After climbing onto King Noebius, I pierced through his body using the Holy Sword Nucleon.
I didn’t think I would yield any substantial results by doing this, but I had to do something to support Captain Fantasy. That was all I could do.
“Chaooo!”
“Waaah!”
Comparing their sizes, it was like watching a fight between a Komodo dragon and a newborn infant.
King Noebius had the advantage in size and skills, but Captain Fantasy also had some tricks up his sleeves.
“Chaooo…!?”
While attacking a cute baby without hesitation, the dragon flew to the sky, unable to hide his humiliation.
I didn’t find that strange at all. Although the Dragon King furiously clawed at and stabbed him, his opponent sustained no injuries at all.
“Hoo hoo hoo!”
The corners of my lips went up unknowingly.
Captain Fantasy’s strongest suit wasn’t his size but his chubby body.
Like Noebius, his soft baby skin was difficult to damage.
It was nothing more than an imitation, which meant it couldn’t defend against all forms of attacks, but it provided adequate protection.
That ability was just to provide him with defenses in battles.
“Ch-chaooo…”
It was the same with King Noebius.
Although he had the capability to destroy the entirety of Fantasy in an instant, his old body was almost at his limit.
Because of the tenacious fight against Captain Fantasy, his energy and life force had been drained significantly.
If the fight continued at this rate, our victory would be secured!
Whii-ing!
Voooong!
I put Captain Fantasy in ‘flight mode.’
I thought he would have wings with a cool design like the wings of the righteous hero did, but instead, he had dragonfly wings similar to the First Spirit.
Flight speed was zero…
From now on, unless it was inevitable and unavoidable, flying shouldn’t be chosen.
“Chaooo.”
“Waaah!”
“Chaooo.”
“Waaa…”
Boom!
Captain Fantasy approached King Noebius, stopped mid-air, and was shot down by an unidentified attack, causing him to crash helplessly.
His skin couldn’t defend against it at all, proving the attack to be powerful.
“Oh, I see…”
I found myself floating in mid-air. Noebius’s pitch-black scales, which served as my footing, were nowhere to be found.
No, to be more precise, the colossal dragon himself disappeared.
He wasn’t dead. He was far from it-
Bang!
Hit with a mind-boggling force, I collapsed to the ground. I didn’t even have the time to feel the pain.
Crackle!
I protected my head with the blade of the Holy Sword, causing sparks to fly.
I heard a foreboding sound coming from my weapon, whose blade was sharp enough to cut through my skin.
It would break if I kept this up. That was what my gut was saying.
“… You underestimate me.”
I was just trying to avoid as many aggravating circumstances as possible since I didn’t want to trouble myself. But in a life-threatening situation like this, even I wouldn’t just be still.
I invested experience points as fuel for the engine.
Scoot! Scoot!
The wings of the righteous hero pierced through the dragon like a spear.
I didn’t expect my offensive to be effective, but it was enough to slow down his attacks, at least.
“Hooph!”
Barely catching my breath, I charged towards King Noebius without a moment of hesitation.
The difference in our weight class was still apparent.
But it wasn’t as overwhelming as before. Still…

Despite becoming a smaller combatant, my friend Noebius had become more threatening instead of weakening.
He exceeded transcendence and entered Godhood. That didn’t improve the situation at all.
Bang! Thud!
He didn’t even need weapons.
His body was far more superior than them.
My ambitious masterpiece, Captain Fantasy, disintegrated into the air. The Dragon King’s attack was so devastating that not even his organs remained.
“You’re not even a hero of chaos, but you’re quite powerful. To think you managed to push me this far.”
After destroying Fantasy’s Central Continent and submerging half of the Eastern Continent in the sea, Noebius closed the distance and spoke in human language.
Cracking my knuckles, I replied.
“Don’t lie to me, Noebius. I know you’re still hiding your true skills using the power of ‘Brave.\\\'”
“… You know?”
“Of course! This isn’t the first time we’ve met.”
King Noebius was hitting the limit of his life source, but I was running out of EXP points and was about to burn out.
I couldn’t expect support from those around us.
Boris had fallen into an unconscious state after seeing Captain Fantasy’s destruction. Shadow A, Saint H, and Green Cake weren’t even strong enough to participate in this battle.
Hence, I thought there was no harm in dragging time by conversing with him.
“I have high respect for you, but our fate is set from the beginning. I’m running out of time, and you have to defeat me in order to move forward, am I right?”
“Well, yeah.”
My dear comrade seemed unwilling to end this peacefully through words. I could see it in his chaos-filled eyes.
“I vowed never to use the cursed strength of the Brave until I die… If I had shown it to you before, then there had to have been an appropriate reason to do so. I shall no longer hide it.”
The aura of the Dragon King changed as soon as he finished his monologue.
It seemed to harbor deep resentment and anger towards someone.
However, the change in his stats would be nothing more than a minor issue.
Or so I thought…
? Race: Chaos Dragonian
? Level: 1
? Job: Overlord (Conquest → Fighting Spirit ↑)
? Skills: Annihilation GG, Vigor GG, Taekwondo G, Transformation G, Deadly Venom G…
? Status: Composure, Transformation, Twilight
How strong would he have become if his fragmented souls were reunited?
“It’s time to end this battle, human-like spirit.”
There was nothing else left to do but finish this head-on. Defending was meaningless.
As soon as the Dragon King Noebius’s fist struck me, half of my body was crushed. Fantasy crumbled and disappeared soon after that.
Was he really just level 1?
How was I supposed to defeat him?
Fortunately, the energy of the universe didn’t betray me.
? Disaster of the Eastern Continent: Defeat the Cursed King Malfart (1/1)
? Disaster of the Northern Continent: Defeat the Snow Queen Elsh (1/1)
? Disaster of the Southern Continent: Defeat the Fire King Phoenix(1/1)
? Disaster of the Western Continent: Defeat the Phantom King Shakespeare (1/1)
? Disaster of the Central Continent: Defeat the High Dragon of Oblivion Noebius (1/1)
“I survived…?”
“…”
Noebius’s life ended halfway through his punch.
Half of my body had disintegrated, starting from my right shoulder down to my hip joint.
If the damage went down a little further, my sacred tower would have been destroyed.
I slowly became filled with fear as I drifted through space.
? Worried: Cadet Kang Han Soo. Are you feeling well?
‘Trainee Teacher, it’s hard to pretend to be strong right now!’
My heart was still beating even though my aorta was broken and my left and right atrium were crushed, but that alone didn’t explain why I was still alive.
Maybe I should approach this from a fantasy point of view, not from a scientific one?
Slurrrr-
While pondering about it, the corpse of the friend who struck me began to dissolve, almost as if it was being melted by poison.
That much wasn’t surprising. That was how monsters returned to nature, after all.
The problem was what came next.
? Race: Universal Human Plus
? Level: 381
? Job: Brave (Everyone = Level 1)

? Status: Holy Sword, Holy, Dragon Scales, Restoration
A new status had been added.
Dragon Scales.
“… This time, he didn’t leave me empty-handed.”
But for now, I wouldn’t want to meet him again. Destroying the planet rendered the test useless.
At that moment, I received something.
? You have completed the entrance examination for the secondary education course.
? Hero, did you enjoy your adventure?
It was the usual system message, but I really wanted to ask it how a hero drifting through the universe could be happy.
? The path of a true hero is indeed perilous. However, many relationships supported you through your journey. You did not lose hope and lose track of your goal. You grew to learn friendship and love, and now, at last, you are floating in space. Please accept our condolences!
‘Hey, wait a minute! What did you just say…’
?Should we take a look at your grades?
