Become Tyrant On My Own Way
Chapter 194 – END OF DUNGEON BREAK IN SOUTH CITY
“You. As it seems, you too have been damaged.”
I shook my head at my dark side's statement.
“I said that solely because you are my dark side. It's only natural your part will be angry if what we love hurts. You don't need to hold back from going berserk again.”
“Can I use this monster power freely?”
“Of course. Who can ban us?”
“Wouldn't that endanger the world? Aren't you the hero who protects the world? Why are you even saying that?”
I patted the dark figure on my shoulder.
“I just said that you are free to rampage and do not need to hold back because that is your instinct. If it endangers the world as a result, then it is my duty to stop you.”
“I don't like that way of talking! You seem to say that I am much weaker than you when I was the source of your strength all along!”
The figure became angry and then tried to attack me brutally.
Yet once he was exactly about to land his attack on me, he stopped in the middle. No, he's not exactly capable of it.
“Why can?”
“Because we are in the astral world that I control. Everything that happens here is based on my will.”
“What?”
“You see for yourself how easy it is for me to stop you? So you don't have to hold back anymore and rampage as much whenever you feel like it.”
“Can I really do it?”
“Certainly can.”
“What if our loved ones get hurt by it.”
“I told you I could stop you.”
“Hero, you're really greedy apparently. Shouldn't you put me away here so that you can control the virtues of your heart completely?”
“Why should I also get rid of the existence that is a part of me? Believe yourself! You are also a part of me that I will never get rid of.”
Hearing my words, the dark figure of me smiled at me and we began to unite. I can feel the dark and light mingling in my body.
Thus, the trial of possession of the Milanese dungeon formation ended.
I have now been perfect as the new master of the dungeon arc formation in the Ernoa Continent.
I could see my surroundings become light. In front of me was Milanda smiling at me.
“You are an interesting hero. Your mind path is completely chaotic.”
“I'll take that as a compliment.”
“Hahahaha. Of course it's a compliment. I've guessed the descendants of Aries are never boring.”
“I'm the descendant of the first hero Aries?”
A single big fact was revealed instantly before me.
“You can't be a hero without inheriting hero's blood from your ancestors. Don't you know this obvious fact?”
“That's because the identity of the first hero has long been distorted by Baal.”
Milanda then remained silent for a long time while looking at my face.
“Only those who are able to control the abyss have the qualifications to become heroes. It was arguably a curse because the sensation of the abyss had imprinted on your eyes and hair that made it blacken.”
Apparently so. Now I understand why Baal tries to distort the fact that heroes are those with hair and sun-colored eyes. It was because all heroes would definitely have black hair and eyeballs due to the suppressing influence of the abyss.
Then he peppered his story by saying that the black-haired and black-eyed bloodline is a descendant of demons that come from the dark abyss. Everything to suppress the awakening of the hero power.
“What do you mean that I am the descendant of the First Hero? Does that mean Irgard sun Meglovia, the founding ancestor of the Kingdom of Meglovia, is also a descendant of the First Hero?”
Milanda shook her head at my question.
“No, not him. Exactly wife. Then after giving birth to a child, one of his children left the Continent of Ernoa and then breed in the north of the Continent of Asium. Slowly, their descendants grew up until they returned to the plain of the Continent of Ernoa in Ignitia. Then it was from Alfreon that was handed down to your brothers and sisters, including you. That's where the roots of your first hero lineage come from.”
“So apparently. Well, then, one more thing I want to ask. Why is Demon King Ozazil trying to protect me?”
“If you knew the history of where he came from, then you would be able to understand it. One thing I can say. It doesn't come with good intentions. He merely wanted to obtain the strongest opponent to the fullest of his arrogance that was too inferior to the human race. In his mind, it did not cross the slightest that he would lose to mankind.”
“Then I will break his arrogance by defeating him until he will regret that why he did not kill me when I was weak.”

I immediately headed back to the southern city as soon as I managed to gain complete control of the dungeon's bow formation.
As soon as I returned, I could see the monsters milling around about the dungeon break. The soldiers were completely overwhelmed to close the dungeons one by one so it was no wonder that until dungeon breaks were everywhere about what had to be closed was far more than the resources the soldiers had to have shutting it.
Thankfully the barrier formed by the combined strength of Yasmin and Doctor Minerva along with the several ice golems I left behind was enough to repel the monsters until no one managed to leave the southern city.
In addition, the entire population was also successfully evacuated out of the southern city until no more casualties fell from the civilians. Unfortunately, this did not happen to the soldiers.
I need to stop this mess immediately.
I summoned my ice needles to fill the southern city sky and made sure that they would only target all monsters without hitting a single soldier.
“Everything! Stay away from the monsters!”
My voice boomed giving orders to the soldiers and the soldiers responded swiftly.
Then, then,
dash dash dash dash dash dash dash dash.
My needles began to pierce the vital points of the monsters one by one. It was a monster that was much stronger than the monsters that usually appeared in the monster forest due to being born from the dungeon root energy that came from the tower directly, he said, it was not a monster created from a dungeon that had been weakened in essence by the power of Milanda.
As a result, there are some monsters that are quite tough to deal with just my ice needles. I also ordered my golems and some other reliable fighters to help me restrain the movement of the monsters, among them Buron, Olbero, and Adam.
His battle actually seized quite a bit of stamina. But in the end, everything was resolved.
I then let a tiger monster that was not strong enough to live. From his essence, I then trapped him into an artifact trap. Slowly, the artifact grew bigger and bigger as it continued to be embedded in the ground. The artifact also grew into a dungeon with the tiger monster as its essence guard aka its monster boss.
After that, the wild dungeon was no longer formed. The few close to the dungeon I created that were substitutes for the essence of the dungeon arc formation that was lost due to being destroyed by Angele and Noel Dumberman also weakened their essence and disappeared.
As for those who are far apart, still intact survive, but the miasma has weakened so that the monsters in it also weakened. Alice and her team are still looking for wild animals that are exposed to miasma energy and become monsters in deeper parts of the forest. The rest, just entrust the soldiers to handle it since the situation has been successfully controlled to some degree.
“Yasmine! Doctor Minerva! What about the situation here?”
I ran over to Yasmin and Doctor Minerva who seemed busy handling the seriously injured soldiers.
“Everything was successfully handled, Your Majesty. There were some casualties among the soldiers, but the numbers were very small for the size of a massive monster invasion. Some of the seriously injured are also no longer in critical condition because they are handled appropriately.”
Even if it is a small amount, life is life. Due to the events of today, there are again several happy families who lost their reins of happiness with the death of their husbands, fathers, or children on the battlefield. But I can only deliver their departure with thanksgiving because thanks to their sacrifice, this homeland of Ernoa can once again maintain its peace.
Since I no longer needed to save my mana, I also gathered the essence of the surrounding holy energy with the runes I learned from Milanda, I also gathered, then I treated the wounded to a certain degree where their lives were no longer threatened and all their external wounds were covered up.
It wasn't as perfect as the treatment of a grand priest, but I was quite capable of healing myself as well.
After that, I also fell unconscious and could no longer remember anything about over out mana.
However, at the end of my fainting, I could see his face well.
“Ah. Again I made the wrong decision.”
I shouldn't have let my guard down to the end about the mastermind still being in place.
I saw Noel Dumberman grinning at the end of my fainting spell.
I hope Yasmin and Doctor Minerva can hold it back until I regain consciousness from my fainting spell.
