It was a battle between thousands of humans and thousands of the god tribe and divine creatures. If anyone heard the news, they would naturally think it was a very fierce bloodbath. However, the viewers watching Hyeonuâs live stream didnât think of such a thing at all.
The individual fights were bloody battles where blood flowed and flesh burst. Yet overall, it was nothing more than a one-sided massacre. The damage occurred on only one side. Not a single human being died, but the divine tribe and other divine creatures continued to fall.
The battle ended without any reversal. It was just that Hyeonu didnât have a very good expression.
âPhew, it was hard.â
It felt like his heart was exhausted. After all, Hyeonu had fought for three or four hours while defending the descendants of the Luos Empire, so it would be strange if he were fine. Hyeonu looked at the blood pools made by the divine tribe and divine creatures, then he climbed up a tree that remained intact and sat down.
âThey arenât particularly helpful.â
Hyeonu pushed up the mask he was wearing on his face. He had a very irritated expression.
-This is the appearance of a bus driver who failed to control his emotions due to the trolling of passengers.
-Still, it is worth him losing his mind. If he had fought alone, he wouldâve killed everyone in less than an hour.
-If there was no Tang-E and Gom-E, they wouldâve been fighting for a few more hours.
-If the reward is bad, he would be really angry.
-Take this and cheer up.
-Alley Leader is the Best Best Best has gifted you 77 gold coins.
The viewers comforted the haggard-looking Hyeonu. It wasnât just with chat messages. They also gave gold coins. It just wasnât a big comfort to Hyeonu.
âHow much is left...?â
Where was Hyeonu now, and how far did he have left to go to reach the northern part of the divine world, his goal? In addition, where was the sun god, Liru, in the northern part of the divine world? He didnât know anything precisely. This was the reason why Hyeonu couldnât smile. A situation like this could occur again and again.
âI have some good news though.â
Still, the situation wasnât as bad as it seemed. There was definitely encouraging news for Hyeonu.
âIt is half over.â
[Kill any living thing in the divine world 5,244/10,000.]
It was the revenge that Floyd, the last giant and chieftain of the giants, requested of Hyeonu. The quest required as many as 10,000 lives, and Hyeonu had now met half of the condition.
âIf it wasnât for the descendants of the Luos Empire...â
If the descendants hadnât re-entered the battle, he wouldâve been able to see a higher number.
âThere is something else that is more important.â
Even so, things like this were okay. The biggest reward for Hyeonu in this battle was Tang-E.
âPet Status Window.â

Tang-E was level 399. That meant level 400 was just around the corner, and his awakening wasnât too far away.
âHow strong will he become?â
For a player, the class advancement was a process that brought about a big change. It brought a change that was many times greater in pets. Even if skills of the same level were created, the power and the amount of stats they rose by would be different.
âTang-E, has there been anything recently? Are there any changes in your body?â Hyeonu asked while stroking Tang-Eâs head.
âHow did you know, Master dude? My chest is tickling.â Tang-E looked up with a surprised expression and made eye contact with Hyeonu.
Then he touched his chest with his right paw.
âChest?â Hyeonu asked while pointing at Tang-Eâs chest, which had a color that was distinctly different from other places. Tang-E nodded without saying anything.
âIs it a precursor symptom...?â
There was a reason why Hyeonu asked Tang-E this question. He wanted to know in advance what changes Tang-E would face through the impending awakening.
âBy the way, if his chest is tickling... Is there a change in the fur?â
Hyeonu imagined the color of the fur on Tang-Eâs chest changing. No matter what color he imagined, laughter burst out first.
âYou are the only one who obtained something from the divine world.â Hyeonu lightly stroked Tang-Eâs fur and smiled.
***
It didnât take long for Tang-Eâs fourth awakening to occur. To be precise, it happened exactly four days after the massive battle broke out. Tang-E was engulfed in intense white light. The light was the materialization of magic power.
[Your pet âTang-Eâ has reached level 400.]
[The fourth awakening has begun.]
âFinally...â Hyeonu smiled at the light before him and the message window that explained what it was. However, Hyeonu couldnât fully concentrate on Tang-E. Hyeonu was familiar with Tang-Eâs awakening, but the descendants of the Luos Empire behind Hyeonu were different.
Erwan approached Hyeonu on behalf of the noisy descendants of the Luos Empire and asked, âWhat is going on, Guardian?â
Hyeonu turned back to look at Erwan. Erwan couldnât even open his eyes properly due to the light coming from Tang-Eâs body. Hyeonu stood in front of Erwan and completely blocked out the light.
âIt isnât a big deal. It is a type of ritual to become a bit stronger,â Hyeonu spoke to Erwan with an expression that showed nothing was wrong.
âA ritual to become stronger? Did the Marionette Bears have such a secret...?â Erwan opened his eyes and looked at Hyeonu when he blocked the light.
âYes, so please tell this to the others.â
It was only for a moment. Soon, Erwan could no longer look at Hyeonu. It was because Hyeonu had turned his body toward Tang-E and moved.
âIt is over.â
Hyeonu intuitively noticed that Tang-Eâs awakening was coming to an end. The light surrounding Tang-Eâs body had faded slightly, and the waves of magic power he felt had weakened considerably.
Things went as Hyeonu expected. The light faded away, and it was the same with the waves of magic power. They were all absorbed by Tang-Eâs body.
âWhat is that...?â
Hyeonu looked at Tang-E and blinked several times. It was to check if Tang-Eâs change had actually taken place or if his eyes were mistaken.
âMaster dude, Tang-E is now the same as Master dude.â Tang-E ran and jumped into Hyeonuâs arms. Hyeonu hugged Tang-E and called out Gom-E without saying a word.
âBrother!â Gom-E saw Tang-E in Hyeonuâs arms and rushed toward him with delight.
Gom-E, who was floating in the air and hovering around Tang-E and Hyeonu, noticed the change in Tang-E, and his eyes widened.
âYou are similar to me. Now you look like my real brother.â Gom-E was so excited that he cut in between Tang-E and Hyeonu.
âThatâs right. The two of you are a bit alike now.â Hyeonu nodded.
They originally looked the same. It was natural. He created the magic spirit by imagining Tang-E as a bear. It was just that the color was completely different from the appearance. There was also the color of the fur, the color of the pupils, the color of the soles of the paws, and so on. If he looked for them, he would find there were many other parts that were different.
âThe color of the chest fur has changed.â
One such difference was gone. The heart-shaped fur on Tang-Eâs chest used to be black, but now it had been turned purple. Of course, the fur that covered both ears was also purple.
âI will know when I check the message windows.â
It wasnât that he didnât know the reason for the change at all. He had a guess, but it would be more accurate to see it with both eyes.
[Stats have risen due to the fourth awakening.]
[The fourth awakening has created skills.]
[The fourth awakening has created an attribute.]
[The strength stat has increased by 985 points.]
[The agility stat has increased by 985 points.]
[The physique stat has increased by 1,506 points.]
[The magic power stat has increased by 2,329 points.]
[The wisdom stat has increased by 2,015 points.]
[Your pet âTang-Eâ has over 10,000 magic power, and a new skill has been created.]
âDo the stats make sense?â
Hyeonu checked the message windows and got goosebumps. The stats increase was ridiculous. This was the emotion he felt every time Tang-E went through an awakening. He was completely envious. It was just one simple awakening, but Tang-E basically gained close to 10,000 stat points.
âYes, it is good for me that Tang-E is doing well.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Hyeonu tried to erase his envy and checked the following message windows. This time, it was the skills.
[Guardian of Magic Power]
[The Marionette Bears, a tribe that is protected beyond magic power.
Type: Continuous
Rating: Epic
Skill Proficiency: F
The power of magic power is increased by 100%. Increases the speed of magic power recovery by 300%. Reduces damage caused by magic power by 50%.]
âWhat type of ridiculous all-rounder skill is this?â
Attack, recovery, and defenseâthey were all related. It was a skill worth the modifier of an all-rounder. However, this wasnât the end. Tang-E had many more changes.
[Darkness is My Friend has changed.]
[Darkness is My Friend -> Blessing of Chaos]
[Blessing of Chaos]
[A blessing to those who have swallowed the remains of the chaos dragon.
Type: Continuous
Rating: Epic
Skill Proficiency: F
The chaos attribute is created, adds 75% damage to chaos attribute attacks.]
âWhat is this?â
This time, it wasnât a new skill but a change in an existing skill. The effect was incomparable to before. The rating had changed from unique to epic. In fact, that in itself was of little importance. The effect had improved to match an epic rating, so the rating changed as well.
âAn attribute is created, and there is an additional 75% attribute damage?â
If news of this skill were released to the community, it was obvious he would be hit by a wave of those who wanted to attract attention. It was to that extent.
âSigh...â Hyeonu repeatedly took a deep breath and exhaled. Then he carefully opened the window where he could most intuitively observe Tang-Eâs changes.
âPet Status Window.â

Hyeonu unknowingly threw his fist into the air.
Bang!
Fragments of purple magic power were scattered.
