The Crow opened its eyes wide the moment the chains fell to the ground, and...

“You are free now.”

Ju-Heon smiled.

The tomb started to shake. An extremely bright light viciously shot out. The guards screamed as this power felt as if a nuclear bomb was going off.

[Aaaaaaaaaah!]

The strength of the power was one thing, but they were also anxious.

[The seal, the seal has been removed!]

[How did he remove the seal?!]

This artifact had been sealing this ferocious Crow bastard for thousands of years. It was so strong that even Divine-Grade artifacts were unable to release it.

But Ju-Heon was able to break it?

[Didn't the Supreme Leader personally bring that sealing artifact?]

This was the Gordian Knot artifact. It was known for being a knot that was impossible to untangle.

There were many challengers who tried to untangle it because it was said that the person who managed to do so would rule all of Asia, however, they had all failed. Alexander the Great cut the rope to solve the issue.

Some artifacts thought that Divine-Grade artifacts would be able to untangle it, but they were completely wrong. It was a rope known for being impossible to untangle for a reason.

Most importantly, there was a reason that this artifact was so strong as a sealing tool.

‘This was created so that even Divine-Grade artifacts would never be able to untangle it.’

[That is a SSS-Grade sealing artifact personally fortified by the Majesty!]

They had told the former Majesty to use his buff ability to make it stronger.

However!

[That human bastard! Did he make it so that it can easily be broken by a human’s Dominance?!]

[Holy shit......!]

The only way to resolve the Gordian Knot was through a human's strong destructive force (Dominance).

Basically, they were wondering if the former Majesty had made it so that only another human in the future could take control of the Crow. Or maybe he set it this way so that he would be the only one who could break it. Anyway, the artifacts were grinding their teeth in anger.

They felt as if the former Majesty had landed a punch on their faces.

It was as if he was saying, ‘you artifact bastards. You should know your place.’

Was that the warning he was trying to give them?

[Fuck, that former Majesty bastard...!]

But they soon shook their heads.

There was no way that their Supreme Leader would have used such an important rope without testing it out first.

Basically, it was Seo Ju-Heon who was weird for being able to destroy this rope.

[That human......!]

Unfortunately, they didn't have time to think about that right now.

The Crow that had been freed after thousands of years stretched out its wings.

[!]

It was full of injuries it had caused itself but the wings looked strong. A strong aura that had not been visible until now shot out from them.

It had just stretched out its wings but its aura seemed to explode out.

It was like a typhoon!

Babang!

Some of the guards screamed as they were flung away.

[Aaah!]

The Crow seemed to be in disbelief that it was really free. It couldn't even say anything.

It was hard to tell whether it was full of joy or grief. How long had it been waiting for this moment?

‘King.’

The Crow still couldn't forget about that time.

[Kill the Majesty!]

[Kill the arrogant human king!]

That was how the slave had died. He died with his body taxidermied to the throne.

It had ended up being imprisoned here without being able to hear the last words the slave had mumbled.

But things were different now.

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt

If that slave could come down from that chair and peacefully close his eyes... If it could get revenge on these bastards...

Could it do it on its own?

It heard a person whistling at the exact moment it had that thought. Ju-Heon was whistling next to the Crow.

"Hey shitty bird brain. Are you not going to come here?"

The Crow shook with excitement after seeing his familiar smile that seemed to be asking that question.

“Come here. I'll make an exception and contract with you.”

It wanted to laugh at Ju-Heon for beckoning it over to him as if it was a dog, but it didn’t matter. Although this guy was nothing like the former Majesty, it had chosen Ju-Heon.

The Crow flew up and landed on Ju-Heon's hand that was stretched up above his head. The guards grew extremely anxious as they watched.

[The real body has made contact with the human!]

Of all people, it had to be Seo Ju-Heon!

This was a giant disaster for them.

[Damn it! Are the high-grade guards still not...ugh!]

The rope worked hard twisting them, as if telling them not to bother its master.

[#$&#!]

My master is a bit busy right now so sit still! Sit!

It seemed to have learned a new way of binding enemies after watching some historical dramas.

What came next was the rope's torture joint twisting!

[Uggggggh!]

[This damn rope bastard, let me go! Those bastards are trying to contract with each other!]

The Great Prison shook violently at that moment. The high-grade guards finally appeared.

Boom! Boom!

These high-grade guards that had been asleep for a long time violently broke through the ground and walls as they appeared.

[How dare you try to contract the Crow without our permission!]

One of the artifacts that appeared was the serpent Uroboros, the symbol of infinity.

That wasn't all. The Dragon of Destruction from Revelations and other ancient artifacts all appeared.

They were all guards who had shoved the Crow in here and were responsible for this area. Ju-Heon just loudly laughed at them as if he found them to be ridiculous.

‘Get their permission my ass.’

“You damn artifacts should know your place!”

A bright light flashed as he said that.

"The Crow in this tomb is mine.”

The moment Chairman Kwon summoned Un-known and quickly entered into the Great Prison...

‘I'm sure the Crow is in this direction.’

He didn’t have much time. Seo Ju-Heon's subordinates who had become Monarchs had taken too much of his time.

He was thankful that he had the Un-knowns that Merlin had sent him. Honestly, those bastards were extremely difficult for Chairman Kwon to handle now that they were Monarchs.

‘They should still have a hard time against Seo Ju-Heon’s Un-known.’

But at that moment...

“Ugh!”

Chairman Kwon frowned after being hit by an attack from Ju-Heon's team.

‘These persistent fuckers!’

That wasn't all. He was caught by Irene who followed in behind him. Chairman Kwon's artifacts started to break.

‘I haven’t even gotten that far in!’

Chairman Kwon started shouting in anger. He looked extremely furious.

“You should just be a good girl like in the past! What the hell are you doing?!”

“Things are different this time.”

Irene tried to touch Chairman Kwon’s body with the hand where her artifact had attached itself to her body.

She was trying to destroy Chairman Kwon’s artifact of conquest. She thought that it would be more effective to touch it herself than to use the aura of destitution.

However, Chairman Kwon wouldn’t let her do that so easily. It was at that moment.

Bang!

A bright light shot out from inside the Great Prison.

It was the Crow's ferocious aura. Chairman Kwon urgently turned his head.

‘Is this perhaps?!’

The light of the contract ritual burst out of the Great Prison. The guards gasped as they turned away from the light.

This aura reaction was completely different from normal contracting rituals.

The artifacts were all too familiar with this specific aura reaction.

‘The birth of the Majesty!’

That was right. The victor of the Heirloom War in the past...

This was the light that burst out when the final victor officially came in possession of the Majesty's Crown. It was happening again right now.

This was the birth of a new Majesty!

[No!]

The shocked guards tried to gobble Ju-Heon up before the contract ritual finished.

However...

Bang!

A chaotic aura shot out and the screams of the guards echoed through the prison.

[Aaaaaaaaaah!]

[H, hold on! Aaaaaaaaaah!]

Their screams were much worse than before. Their voices were full of fear now.

Maybe that was to be expected.

[The Crow has been released!]

[It is the power of predation!]

The Three-legged Crow was a bird that lived in the sun, a sacred beast that connected the human world with the heavens. It was the symbol of power and had the special trait of consuming Dragons.

The result of that myth was its extremely strong power of predation! The artifacts feared that power.

Why?

They had not been that wary of it when it was just a Heirloom. However, they realized that this bastard was no ordinary artifact when it started consuming the Major gods!

‘That bastard even consumed the Major God-Grade artifacts! It was hiding its powers!’

Was it because it had been promoted to a Treasure? The Crow was strong. That was how it had been able to give Ju-Heon so many abilities despite just being a clone.

And now...it was no longer a clone.

This was the real body! Ju-Heon must have finished contracting with the real body as the tattoo symbolizing the contract reappeared on Ju-Heon’s collarbone.

[The contract with the Majesty’s Crown has been completed.]

[Your skills and abilities that had disappeared have returned.]

[You have properly acquired the Majesty’s authority.]

[You have received the title of < King of the Artifacts >.]

[Your Dominance, Affinity, and Fit are increasing exponentially.]

[The Seals of Heaven artifact that has lost its power is having its powers restored.]

[Every title you have gained until now is being absorbed into your authority.]

[All Treasures can be used at 100% power now.]

The message windows Ju-Heon had missed were back as well.

Ju-Heon then walked out. He had always been strong, but Ju-Heon's Dominance gave off a sense of fear to the artifacts now.

The guards were standing straight, unable to do anything except shake in fear. The aura of the King who rules over the artifacts was not something that artifacts could easily ignore.

However, they were still standing straight because he was still an inferior human bastard. They were standing firm because of their pride and hesitation.

The Crow frowned after landing on Ju-Heon’s shoulder.

[This is your new king. How dare you stand straight with your heads up.]

[......!]

It instantly reminded the artifacts of the past. The guards were about to lower their heads out of reflex.

However...

“No, there’s no need.”

The guards flinched while Ju-Heon viciously revealed his teeth.

“It’s hard to cut their heads off if I can't see them.”

[?!]

The Crow's aura soon struck the heads of the regular and high-grade guards.

Chomp! Crack!

[Uggggggh! Hold on!]

[Aaah!]

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

The heads of the guards were instantly sliced off and ripped to shreds. The high-grade guards became anxious and tried to use their powers, but...

[...!]

They could not do so. Even the powers of the high-grade guards were consumed in the blink of an eye.

It was as if a fire was about to start burning when it was sucked into a vacuum.

[Huuuuuuff...!]

‘Who knew he would be able to use the Crow's power so well right away...?!’

The high-grade guards were sweating bullets as they watched their powers quickly disappear.

He was using the Crow's abilities as if he knew what they were trying to do.

That wasn't all.

Shhhhhhh!

The guards that had once imprisoned the Crow and tortured it were all ruthlessly ripped up.

[Aaah!]

The guards in here were not the only ones who should be scared.

The Crow could only consume the nearby artifacts when it was a clone, but... The range of the real body's aura was unbelievable.

The real body's aura could reach the entire Great Prison that was scattered throughout the world! Basically, all guards within the Great Prison were in the range of the Crow's predation! It could consume the entire planet if it wanted to do so.

It would be weird if the other artifacts were not scared.

[W, we need to get out of here...!]

[Hurry!]

[We need to get out of the prison!]

[It's dangerous outside the prison too! We need to go to a completely different dimension!]

They knew what could happen. They knew that staying here would mean that they would be absorbed by this bastard!

They also knew that this bastard had more powers as well! The Majesty’s powers were extremely scary.

Of course, they couldn't run away as they pleased.

“Where do you think you’re going?”

A pair of glaring red eyes greeted them.

While all of that chaos was going on...

Chairman Kwon became anxious. He was sure of it.

‘This is the Crow’s aura!’

Everybody in the world would have felt it!

He anxiously frowned and pushed Irene away.

“You stupid bitch. A monopolizer of the past gave everything up because she fell for a guy?! Did you forget about the greater good?!”

“......!”

Someone sneered at him.

“The greater good my ass!”

“Ugh!”

Seol-A was the one who punched Chairman Kwon’s face.

Seol-A seemed to loathe the fact that someone like Chairman Kwon was saying such shit to Irene.

“That’s funny coming from the guy who went so crazy for artifacts that he turned his subordinates and friends into artifacts.”

"What’s wrong with that? Did that upset you so much?”

He snorted.

“It was the Monarch of Fraud who got you guys killed!”

“......!”

"And after that... I just used you guys more effectively than to burn your bodies. You should be thankful to me. I let you live on, even if it was as artifacts.”

As Seol-A clenched her teeth and was about to say something...

“Then should I make you be thankful to me as well?”

“......?!”

A familiar voice echoed through the prison. However, that voice had not come from near them.

The voice had come from deep inside the Great Prison. It was at that moment.

“Irene! Seol-A! Hurry up and come back out!”

They heard Julian’s urgent voice. Something scary happened the moment the girls ran out of the Great Prison.

Babang!

A chaotic aura surrounded the entire Great Prison. It had started to consume the entire prison.

It seemed to want to take care of all of the prisoners and guards inside at the same time. It also seemed to want to get rid of the Great Prison's existence from the world.
