The Max Level Hero Has Returned!

As dozens of men and women wearing black clothing appeared from all over, the others around Davey gasped in surprise.

“Big Brother!!” Baris shouted in panic as he pulled out his sword.

As for Davey, he simply stared at them calmly.

Rattle!!

Then, chains made of a dark and heavy metal flew toward Davey. It wrapped around him so that he could not move Blue Ribbon.

Red Ribbon cut through physical things, while Blue Ribbon cut through things that defied nature.

These people tied Davey up using chains that had some kind of unknown power, and they used pure physical power to subdue Blue Ribbon, the most dangerous weapon to them.

“We have subdued his blue sword!”

Davey had somewhat of a bad relationship with vampires for a long time now. Although he felt sorry for the World Tree for even comparing their power to her’s, their large number, uniform position, and above all, the fact that Davey could not tell where they were hiding made this situation different from the battle against the World Tree, which was always in plain sight.

“I can’t lose an opportunity like this.”

This was an opportunity of a lifetime to find the vampires’ hideout.

“What are you all doing?!! Seize them!!” The King shouted.

The humans who were present and the strange beings that had appeared out of thin air began colliding. But even so, the vampires that had surrounded Davey did not move.

Rattle!!

As Davey shook the chains with force, the vampires suddenly frowned. He asked them, “What are you going to do with this?”

“I am going to borrow your power.”

The one who answered him was not the vampires who had surrounded him.

Pzzz!!!

A spatial tear appeared in the air before a familiar face showed up. It was Milpieu, the alchemist vampire who Davey had seen at the ancient ruins that the Alpha Reinforcements had found.

“Was it…Milpieu?”

“Yeah, it’s been a while,” Milpieu said calmly. She lightly ran her hand through her pink hair and stared warily at Blue Ribbon, which was confined in chains. She added, “That blue sword; it’s dangerous. It’s intriguing, but I can’t put my life on the line for it.”

“So, this is all you’re doing to beat me?”

“You’ve already fallen into the trap. This trap is extremely strong. The more powerful one is, the more confined they become.”

That was what usually happened.

Milpieu then raised the staff that was in her hand up high.

Voosh!!

An ominous, bright-red magic circle appeared below Davey, who was in the center of it all.

It was a magic circle written in the language of demons. At the same time, a large amount of power began escaping from his body. Those powers were channeled into the huge magic stone that was embedded in Milpieu’s staff.

‘So, they put a leech on me without my permission…’

Davey, who was keeping quiet, opened his mouth to say, “Rinne.”

Sring…

Instead of a reply, only the eerie sound of air ripping apart could be heard.

“Hup?!” Milpieu jumped up in surprise and dodged it, even forgetting to point her staff at Davey.

Rinne’s lightsaber flashed where Milpieu had been standing just a moment ago.

“Tsk… Rinne, assassination failed. Does not appreciate this.”

“You… You’re that White Wings from…” Milpieu mumbled in confusion. Her eyes were now filled with greed. “You got stronger… I want to study you…”

“Rinne, choosing words learned from Sir Davey. Thinks highly of ‘Fuck you’,” Rinne answered calmly.

She pulled out another lightsaber from her other hand. As soon as she lowered her stance, she charged toward Milpieu.

Rinne was incomparably stronger than when she had first woken up. As she had progressed and developed on her own, Milpieu could not handle Rinne charging toward her as Milpieu herself wasn’t really any different than before.

Crash!! Boom!!

Davey could hear loud explosions. As he saw the monsters bolt out from all over the place, he could feel that Milpieu was starting to take the necessary amount of power that he needed.

“Let’s get moving.”

Crack…

As Davey resisted, the chains from the statue began pushing down on him like they were trying to overpower him. It was Soul Drain, a type of magic circle used by demons in the past. It had been modernized with time, but the basis of it hadn’t changed. Meaning…

“How many times do you think I’ve had this on me?”

Crack!!

As Davey’s mana penetrated the sturdy chains, it instantly analyzed the structure of the chains and dissolved them. At that moment, the chains began to crack.

“Look at that? You’re pretty durable, aren’t you?”

Davey had no choice but to use another way if the chains did not break with just brute force alone. He scanned the swords of the people who had collapsed, then released his mana. He muttered, “Alright. Try taking it.”

‘I’ll see how much you bastards can take from me.’

Grrrr!!!

Davey acted fast as he had already decided on what to do. He ignored the statue that was taking his powers and released everything he had.

Usually, he absorbed most of his powers so that they could not be detected; reality was that one had to be extremely advanced in order to feel the power inside him, but something amusing was going to happen if he undid that absorption and began to use his full powers.

Crack!! Crack!!

As Davey began to instantly release most of his powers in a long time, it began to affect the surroundings. Everyone close by could feel his transformation and the terrifyingly strong powers that flowed out of him. It also happened to stop the rough fighting.

—Your powers are ridiculous. How could those monsters that have almost nothing but instinct left in them stop as well?

Fear was a big aspect of one’s instinct as well. Needless to say, the monsters were bound to freeze for a moment unless they were robots.

As Davey’s 8th-Circle devil mana, which was as powerful as his 8th-Circle elemental mana, and 9th-level holy power began to flow out at once, the surroundings started to distort and the ground began to shake. It was as if an earthquake was occurring. A strong wind also began to blow.

Boom!!!

And when that power reached its limit, the chains that kept Davey confined exploded apart. They completely broke down.

“Kahh!!”

“Keugh?!”

How would those who were affected by an uncontrolled power react? It was obvious what would happen if water suddenly appeared on the land that they were walking on: swept away.

“Keugh!”

The low-ranking vampires fell to the floor in pain. Their eyes bulged as they coughed up mouthfuls of blood. They could barely tolerate the effects of Davey’s great power.

“Ugh?! What is…?”

Squelp!!!!

Davey’s power also affected Milpieu, who was fighting Rinne. She had to pause for a moment, and at that moment, Rinne’s lightsaber pierced through her heart.

“Rinne is a golem transplanted with the God of Machinery. Reporting that she does not yield to a power this weak.”

Splatter!!

Rinne instantly stepped on Milpieu.

Unable to withstand Davey’s overwhelming power, the chains that were suppressing him crumbled away. At the same time, Blue Ribbon returned to Davey’s grip with a cold blue light.

“Did you take as much as you need?”

“Monster…” Milpieu mumbled with a pale face.

“If you know that, you shouldn’t have attacked me.”

“Everyone, run!!”

Once a quick-witted vampire shouted, a bright blue sword energy filled the surroundings.

[Transcendental Longsword]

[Strong Horizontal Slash]

[Heavenly Single Strike]

Crack!!!

The blue flash of light flew so quickly that the vampires could not react in time to run away. When the blinding light finally disappeared, everyone realized that a lot of things had changed.

The crow statues that confined Davey had been destroyed. Also, only a few vampires among the ones who had been staring at him nervously were lucky enough to have escaped the proximity and survived.

Shwing…

Ignoring the others who stared at his power speechlessly, Davey walked toward Milpieu. He said, “You won’t be able to run away this time.”

‘I saw you run away once. Don’t think that you will be able to run away twice.’

As Davey looked at Rinne, she pinned down Milpieu more forcefully with her lightsaber.

Realizing that she could not liquefy herself, which was her unique ability, Milpieu bitterly smiled and said, “Do whatever you want. I have nothing more to say since I lost.”

Their plan to steal Davey’s powers completely failed; however, Milpieu did not look that particularly disappointed.

“How sad that your elaborate plan has failed.”

“I don’t know about that.” Milpieu then nodded. “We already reached our goal.”

Everyone stared at Milpieu, who calmly explained, “We put your sister in that situation to lure you in, and then we made you get into a conflict with the Hyeon Kingdom.”

“I knew I smelled blood on the sacred item. Did you do it then?”

“That’s right,” Milpieu said calmly.

She struggled to get free, but Rinne just pinned her down with even more force.

“B-But you cannot do anything to the Guardian Deity with only the sacred item!” The King shouted.

The sacred item was just an instrument that allowed contact with the Guardian Deity. It was almost impossible to overpower a being as powerful as the Guardian with just that alone.

“Ask this man about that,” Milpieu said calmly as she stared up at Davey. She asked, “Didn’t you…lose something?”

“The brooch that the Son of Heaven gave me.”

Milpieu nodded. “It’s difficult for us to overpower the Guardian Deity just with our powers alone. But what if we had the brooch with your powers in it?”

Needless to say, everything had been orchestrated in the dark by these damn mosquitoes. They had sent a provoking message to Davey through the Empress Dowager, lured him here by making the situation worse at the Hyeon Kingdom, and made him get into a conflict with them.

They had also used the opportunity when Davey had been caught up with Tanya’s situation at the Hyeon Kingdom to finish preparing and began to overpower the Guardian Deity using the power they had stolen from Davey during this test where the Guardian Deity acted.

The Guardian Deity was an old miraculous being with great power; it was obvious that the power it held was also extremely powerful.

“N-No way… How impious!”

The pontiff shouted like it was ridiculous, but…

“I think it’s too late,” Milpieu said calmly.

At the same time, a giant pillar of light shot up from the barrier-protected forest; the power of the Guardian Deity that protected this forest was leaking out.

“The Empress Dowager of the Ming Empire colluded with us to save her child. She gave us the information and materials that we required.”

“And you were probably going to lie about saving that Son of Heaven with the technology and power you guys have. Then, you will take both my power and the Guardian Deity’s,” Davey said.

“...” In silence, Milpieu widened her eyes.

“Hey, listen up, half-vampire.”

Milpieu was surprised by the following revelation.

Almost no one was able to distinguish the fact that she was a half-vampire just by looking at her.

“You guys didn’t take the brooch, I gave it to you.”

“What do you…?”

“What do I mean?”

Milpieu frowned slightly.

With a loud laugh, Davey punched the empty air with one hand.

Crack!!

Divine Spear Longinus appeared in Davey’s grip in the form of a spear.

“I heard that no one knows the location of the Guardian Deity.”

“Yeah, we had some trouble finding that. Even if you are going to solve it right now, if you don’t know the location…”

“Of course I know. Do you think I gave you the brooch for no reason?” Davey asked as he stared into Milpieu’s wide eyes. He muttered, “The location is just right…”

Davey picked up a spear that was on the floor. Then, he unraveled the thick cloth that was wrapped around the dead soldier’s waist, tied it on both ends of the spear, and secured the end of it to the floor.

“P-Prince Davey. What are you going…?”

“Sniping.”

Davey was going to use the large spear as his bow. As for the thick and tough cloth, it was going to be his bowstring. The arrow… Well, there was really nothing that fit a bow this large, but he hadn’t pulled out Longinus for nothing.

Stepping on the bow with his left foot to secure it, Davey familiarly loaded Longinus on the bowstring.

‘The Spear of God.’

Well, Davey should say that it was the wand of Freyja to be exact, but it didn’t matter as Longinus had not been created by her powers.

“I’ve always wanted to try this.”

‘God is with us.’

—What…

Rumble!!!!

Watching the spear shine with a thunderous light, Davey pulled back the bowstring without hesitation.

Creak!!

The spear began to bend in a strange way with an eerie sound. It turned into a large bow.

Looking at a point in the dense forest beyond the barrier, Davey commanded, “Take the wand of God.”

It wasn’t a rocket launcher from an RPG, but its power was still immeasurable.
