Davey did not even entertain the idea that Urd, who had scattered into nothingness inside the rapidly changing crack in space, had fled. This was because Urd had nowhere to run. Besides, she was clearly just flustered and not frightened when she escaped.
Urd might be very strong. However, she made one mistake. While she had overwhelming physical abilities, when it came to calculations, utilization of force, and state of enlightenment, she was nowhere near Davey.
However, the state of her physical abilities gave her the confidence to judge Davey as an incomplete predator. And this judgment made her relax and choose to play around with him. In the first place, Davey’s existence to Urd was just a bit unusual. He was just someone who gained a bit of fame in his own world. Nothing more, nothing less.
When Urd disappeared from Davey’s sight and turned into black smoke, Davey could tell that she was wandering around him and trying to find an opportunity in the turbulent torrent inside this cracked space, just like a beast watching its prey. Her attention was now solely focused on Davey. It seemed like she had lost interest in the still unconscious Aeria.
Each and every world had a moon. However, there was nothing she could do inside the crack between two dimensions, right?
However, the moment they crossed through this crack and arrived in the other dimension, Davey would have no choice but to use his power. And the bigger the gap in their power, the more he would use. That meant that the decrease in the time that he was allowed inside that space would also hasten.
Even though the time he could spend inside the other dimension had increased to 120 minutes, he was still at a huge risk. There was even a chance that all of that time would evaporate tens of seconds after their arrival in that place.
Shiiiiiing!!! Baaaaaang!!!
That was why Davey decided to feed her a big sh*t before they got out of this turbulent crack in space. Davey immediately punched her regenerating body. Urd screamed loudly. She felt like the forearm, which she used to block the attack, was going to fall off again after she had reattached it.
Although Urd had the ability to block even the strongest attack from an ax with her bare body, that power existed in a dimension from a different orbit than this dimension.
Bang!!! Bang!!!
Davey, who was continuously evading Urd’s fierce and sharp attacks, still had enough leeway to observe the torrential current of space that was swirling around them.
He could see that Urd’s power had weakened. The moon was the source of her power, and it existed in each and every single world. It could be said that she was strongest during the full moon, but that did not mean that her strength would disappear just because the moon was not full anymore.
However, that was not the case here. The torrential space between two dimensions did not have any celestial bodies, let alone the moon. This meant that Urd had become infinitely weaker than when Davey first met her.
Crackle!!!
The red whip in Urd’s hands snapped forward, digging into his defenses sharply like a snake aiming to dive in for its prey. One wrong move, and the sharp attack would definitely cut off Davey’s limbs. However, he knew that it was still not yet time. He still had to wait a bit longer.
Davey quickly gathered a thick clump of mana around him to offset the attack.
Bzz, bzz, bzz, bzz…
Davey immediately moved, using what he had prepared earlier, the moment he saw a tiny bit of change from beyond the crack in space.
Urd might have excellent hardware, but her software was just average. In other words, she was very inexperienced compared to Davey. It seemed like she did not need to resort to small tricks because she was far too strong. Since there was no danger to her life, she did not have to be wary and just do whatever she wanted to do.
However, having very strong power could sometimes become a hindrance to a person’s growth. Urd had never met anyone that she felt would become a threat to her. Even so, a talented person would never be bitten twice as long as they had experienced it before. Of course, the price that she had to pay was not cheap.
The more she let her guard down and allowed a fatal blow on her body, the stronger Davey’s resistance and attacks became. Such an alignment of coincidences had created a single fatal wound in Urd’s body.
Davey continued to mix real and fake attacks, tricking her eyes while landing one attack after another and escaping from her reach. And the moment she looked away? Davey would be sure of his victory.
Meanwhile, Urd’s intuition was telling her that something was wrong. Her body reacted first as she tried to get away from Davey. However, Davey grabbed her by the collar and tied her tightly to his side.
“Ugh?!”
Urd finally realized that there was something black in Davey’s hands. She struggled to twist away, but since there was no moon in this place, she could not get away and build a proper defensive measure against him. In the end, her panic created a gap, a weakness, in her defenses.
Davey, with familiar ease, grabbed a bottle of holy water from his Pocket Plane and splashed it on Urd.
‘The Goddess is with us, you f*cking monster!’
Of course, the effects of the holy water were quite weak. However, he did not spray it on Urd to put a debuff on her in the first place. It was just a trick to amplify Davey’s powers.
“Get lost.”
[Devil Ylgr’s Crowd Suppression]
[Close Proximity]
[F*cking Fierce Abdominal Strike]
Davey's fist flew from a very close range, something he had not done earlier. Surprisingly enough, the punch accelerated for a very brief moment and struck Urd fiercely in the pit of her stomach.
When the attack collided, it did not sound like Davey's fist hit metal, as before. The power of the Abyss that protected Urd's body followed its own rules, and this power could only be destroyed in two ways. One could use a force stronger than the power of the abyss to crush it or utilize the Taboo's Karma, a power independent from the rules, just like now.
However, Urd was so powerful. After all, she had subdued grandmaster-level mythical beasts so easily, right? So, the first option was a no-go. Davey had no choice but to use the Taboo's Karma, his free-pass authority that allowed him to escape the rules of the Abyss freely.
Crack, crack, crack!!!
The black energy that gathered in Davey's palms struck Urd's body, making her snap and fly away as if she had been hit by something huge. Urd slammed to the other end of the crack, breaking through the rapidly changing and turbulent walls of space around them.
Without any hesitation, Davey grabbed Aeria and jumped into another crack that appeared nearby.
Locking Urd up indefinitely through the cracks between dimensions was the only thing Davey could do to deal with her. It was his best choice when fighting against Urd.
It would not be easy for her to escape the tumultuous torrent raging between the dimensions. After all, it was like hell on earth where one could not distinguish where the north, south, east, or west were. If she was unlucky, then the space would twist, and she would be trapped in this space forever.
A crack appeared in the sky and spat Davey out. With Aeria in his arms, he had no other choice but to land on his back.
Crack!!!
The sound of the wooden floor breaking resounded loudly in the area.
Stab!!!
At the same time, a sharp pain bloomed on Davey's back, his body only stopping when the pungent and fishy smell of the liquid that permeated the wooden floor beneath him wafted to his nose.
“Hoo…”
Davey felt his body taut with tension, his heart jumping fiercely in his chest, after experiencing a reckless fight against an inexperienced yet powerful being. He originally did not intend to fight her. However, he noticed Kathryn's excessive use of power and had come to find her just in case. And when he arrived, it was bingo.
Davey firmly believed that he should not collide with the opponent for a while if he could not kill the enemy on the spot. But the moment he realized that Aeria had died, his scales tipped for a bit.
He had taken Urd off guard and forced her to get stuck in the crack of space between the dimensions. However, Davey was fully aware that he would not be able to do this again next time. Urd was inexperienced, but she was not stupid.
“Ah…” Davey closed his eyes and took a short breath as he slowly rose from the wet and fishy floor with Aeria still in his hands.
Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish.
There was this faint noise that he found annoying ever since they landed in this place. Davey was now able to look around the dark space after using some of his dark mana. The magic that he used was none other than Dark Eyes, a dark magic that allowed him to see through the dark as if it was in the middle of the day.
Davey did not have much time. He only had a hundred and twenty minutes in his hands, two hours. Compared to when he started this, it was quite a long time, but it still was not enough.
Not long after, Davey frowned at the view that he saw. “Even if we’re unlucky, it shouldn’t be like this, no?”
The liquid that stained the floor was none other than blood. There were also chunks of what seemed to be flesh scattered around in the area. There was no problem up until this point, but...
Swish, swish, swish…

‘Those damn bastards are the problem.’
In fact, a weak light wrapped around them as if it were protecting them. This faint light allowed Davey to see his surroundings through the crack on the floor above them, which broke apart when Davey and Aeria fell from the sky.
What he saw around them were creatures that were taller and bigger than a person. They had antennae that were far longer than an entire person, and six legs thicker than an ordinary human's limbs, with a hideous and gruesome outer appearance.
“Cockroach…”
‘This…’
“This should not be a place where they can thrive and live.”
Davey tried to use his mana, but seeing that there were hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of these gigantic cockroaches, he realized he didn't have enough time to deal with them.
So, to handle the situation, Davey pushed his hand inside his pocket plane and took out his card album. Currently, he had two active cards in his possession. One contained Megalodria, who was currently sleeping. The other one was the only card that survived when he returned to his body from the Hall, which contained the triplets.
"Come out, you crazy bastards." Davey picked the card with the three strange-looking figures using his index and middle finger, and threw it in the air. With a flash of light, the figures depicted in the card appeared in front of him.
These bastards had been created when Davey split his soul. The Card Maker, Heavenly Demon, had advised him to make a card with his clones, which would not be lost no matter what happened. Thus, Davey created a powerful guardian using his soul, resulting in these three strange beings.
The bastards that appeared had quite thin and scrawny physiques, wearing shabby leather uniforms. One held a shamshir, another a bastard sword, and the remaining one carried a vicious-looking ax.
They had pale and gray skin with thin, bony bodies, resembling skeletons from afar. However, they were not actual skeletons; they were created from the reflection of Davey's soul. They would not disappear even if his soul moved, and their power grew along with Davey's soul, making them as strong as him.
"Clean up all of the bugs here," Davey ordered the three, but they seemed more interested in laughing and playing amongst themselves.
Kahahahahahahaha!
Davey frowned at their disregard for his words. As they giggled and cackled, one of them approached Davey, gently touching him and pointing at him in a playful manner. Their actions conveyed a clear message: they had no intention of obeying his orders.
‘Look at this bastard laughing so happily.’
As if sympathizing with him, the other two began to giggle and laugh too, which deepened Davey's frown.
"You better stop," Davey warned, but the three continued their mirth. In frustration, he mercilessly kicked one of the bastards on the back. "F*ck you. Go and do what I tell you to do, you bastards!"
This was the reason why Davey was very reluctant to release them from their card. The one he kicked saw his blood on the floor and began to panic. The other two raised the fallen guy up and made a fuss before he could even calm down. Then, the bastard glared at Davey, seemingly annoyed.
"What? You want me to pluck your eyes out? Bastard."
The bastard flinched when Davey acted as if he was going to hit him with his elbows. They would never forget the pain of being hit. The three bastards backed away from Davey as he threw a bright light to allow them to see the situation.
With the dark underground space brightened, they saw thousands of gigantic cockroaches all over the area, including some that Davey had failed to spot with his Dark Eyes.
At the same time, one of the three lunatics shivered. His blue eyes moved as he said, "Enemies! Kill!"
"Go!"
"Bwahahahaha!"
'Look at these bastards! So, they can talk, huh?'
When one of them spoke, the other two giggled as if they found something fun and interesting. They charged toward the group of cockroaches without any hesitation or fear, displaying an attitude and temperament that far exceeded common sense.
‘Who in the hell did you look after, huh? Tch.’
Baaaaaaaang!!!
Then, loud explosions began to shake the area.
Shwaaaaaaa!!!
After realizing that time was running out, Davey quickly burned off a section of the area and sterilized it before laying Aeria down. Her heartbeat was still weak. Thanks to the mutated ember, she did not need any other first aid treatment.
However, what Davey used was not just a simple mutated ember. He also utilized the title [The Ember that Protected One’s Final Moments], and its effects were quite profound yet simple.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Davey did not even entertain the idea that Urd, who had scattered into nothingness inside the rapidly changing crack in space, had fled. This was because Urd had nowhere to run. Besides, she was clearly just flustered and not frightened when she escaped.
Urd might be very strong. However, she made one mistake. While she had overwhelming physical abilities, when it came to calculations, utilization of force, and state of enlightenment, she was nowhere near Davey.
However, the state of her physical abilities gave her the confidence to judge Davey as an incomplete predator. And this judgment made her relax and choose to play around with him. In the first place, Davey’s existence to Urd was just a bit unusual. He was just someone who gained a bit of fame in his own world. Nothing more, nothing less.

With Aeria in his arms, he had no other choice but to land on his back.Crack!!!The sound of the wooden floor breaking resounded loudly in the area.Stab!!!At the same time, a sharp pain bloomed on Davey's back, his body only stopping when the pungent and fishy smell of the liquid that permeated the wooden floor beneath him wafted to his nose.HooDavey felt his body taut with tension, his heart jumping fiercely in his chest, after experiencing a reckless fight against an inexperienced yet powerful being. He originally did not intend to fight her. However, he noticed Kathryn's excessive use of power and had come to find her just in case. And when he arrived, it was bingo.Davey firmly believed that he should not collide with the opponent for a while if he could not kill the enemy on the spot. But the moment he realized that Aeria had died, his scales tipped for a bit.He had taken Urd off guard and forced her to get stuck in the crack of space between the dimensions. However, Davey was fully aware that he would not be able to do this again next time. Urd was inexperienced, but she was not stupid.Ah Davey closed his eyes and took a short breath as he slowly rose from the wet and fishy floor with Aeria still in his hands.Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish.There was this faint noise that he found annoying ever since they landed in this place. Davey was now able to look around the dark space after using some of his dark mana. The magic that he used was none other than Dark Eyes, a dark magic that allowed him to see through the dark as if it was in the middle of the day.Davey did not have much time. He only had a hundred and twenty minutes in his hands, two hours. Compared to when he started this, it was quite a long time, but it still was not enough.Not long after, Davey frowned at the view that he saw. Even if we're unlucky, it shouldn't be like this, no?The liquid that stained the floor was none other than blood. There were also chunks of what seemed to be flesh scattered around in the area. There was no problem up until this point, but...Swish, swish, swishFind the original at "pawread dot com".Those damn bastards are the problem.'In fact, a weak light wrapped around them as if it were protecting them. This faint light allowed Davey to see his surroundings through the crack on the floor above them, which broke apart when Davey and Aeria fell from the sky.What he saw around them were creatures that were taller and bigger than a person. They had antennae that were far longer than an entire person, and six legs thicker than an ordinary human's limbs, with a hideous and gruesome outer appearance.CockroachThis'This should not be a place where they can thrive and live.Davey tried to use his mana, but seeing that there were hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of these gigantic cockroaches, he realized he didn't have enough time to deal with them.So, to handle the situation, Davey pushed his hand inside his pocket plane and took out his card album. Currently, he had two active cards in his possession. One contained Megalodria, who was currently sleeping. The other one was the only card that survived when he returned to his body from the Hall, which contained the triplets."Come out, you crazy bastards." Davey picked the card with the three strange-looking figures using his index and middle finger, and threw it in the air. With a flash of light, the figures depicted in the card appeared in front of him.These bastards had been created when Davey split his soul. The Card Maker, Heavenly Demon, had advised him to make a card with his clones, which would not be lost no matter what happened. Thus, Davey created a powerful guardian using his soul, resulting in these three strange beings.The bastards that appeared had quite thin and scrawny physiques, wearing shabby leather uniforms. One held a shamshir, another a bastard sword, and the remaining one carried a vicious-looking ax.They had pale and gray skin with thin, bony bodies, resembling skeletons from afar. However, they were not actual skeletons; they were created from the reflection of Davey's soul. They would not disappear even if his soul moved, and their power grew along with Davey's soul, making them as strong as him."Clean up all of the bugs here," Davey ordered the three, but they seemed more interested in laughing and playing amongst themselves.Kahahahahahahaha!Davey frowned at their disregard for his words. As they giggled and cackled, one of them approached Davey, gently touching him and pointing at him in a playful manner. Their actions conveyed a clear message: they had no intention of obeying his orders.Look at this bastard laughing so happily.'As if sympathizing with him, the other two began to giggle and laugh too, which deepened Davey's frown."You better stop," Davey warned, but the three continued their mirth. In frustration, he mercilessly kicked one of the bastards on the back. "F*ck you. Go and do what I tell you to do, you bastards!"This was the reason why Davey was very reluctant to release them from their card. The one he kicked saw his blood on the floor and began to panic. The other two raised the fallen guy up and made a fuss before he could even calm down. Then, the bastard glared at Davey, seemingly annoyed."What? You want me to pluck your eyes out? Bastard."The bastard flinched when Davey acted as if he was going to hit him with his elbows. They would never forget the pain of being hit. The three bastards backed away from Davey as he threw a bright light to allow them to see the situation.With the dark underground space brightened, they saw thousands of gigantic cockroaches all over the area, including some that Davey had failed to spot with his Dark Eyes.At the same time, one of the three lunatics shivered. His blue eyes moved as he said, "Enemies! Kill!""Go!""Bwahahahaha!"'Look at these bastards! So, they can talk, huh?'When one of them spoke, the other two giggled as if they found something fun and interesting. They charged toward the group of cockroaches without any hesitation or fear, displaying an attitude and temperament that far exceeded common sense.Who in the hell did you look after, huh? Tch.'Baaaaaaaang!!!Then, loud explosions began to shake the area.Shwaaaaaaa!!!After realizing that time was running out, Davey quickly burned off a section of the area and sterilized it before laying Aeria down. Her heartbeat was still weak. Thanks to the mutated ember, she did not need any other first aid treatment.However, what Davey used was not just a simple mutated ember. He also utilized the title The Ember that Protected One's Final Moments, and its effects were quite profound yet simple.
