7 Chapter 6 smoke: (part 2)

Everyone was in a panic as they saw the message [The Apocalypse Dragon has revived] Han Sooyoung quickly went out of the room to find Kim Dokja.

Ritsuka and the admiral didn't know what was going on and they asked Lee Seolhwa whose arms are trembling and eyes are shaking.

"What's the problem, Lee Seolhwa-san?"

Lee Seolhwa took a deep breath and then she explained what the apocalypse dragon was, in Ritsuka's terms, basically a Beast class. Ritsuka saw Mash rushing over in a patient gown. She got injured in the fight a while ago but recovered.

"Senpai! did you see the message?"

Ritsuka nodded, and Mash went beside him. She saw the boy on the bed and she asked Ritsuka.

"Senpai, who's this muscular lost child?"

"It's Alcides."

The admiral said with his arms crossed, then Lee Seolhwa said while tapping Ritsuka's shoulder.

"Let's talk about Alcides later. Let's go to the main building. I think everyone will be there."

They nodded and left the boy alone in the room...

While everyone was out, Alcides woke up and scanned his surroundings. He sighed and checked his body.

'It took me a while to flush out the poison, but thanks to these people, I'm cured of the hydra's poison.'

Alcides walked outside the hospital ward and started wandering around the building trying to think why he was stuck inside a child's body.

'The grail summoned me into this world, and something went wrong. That's probably why I'm in this form'

He avoided the staff's gaze and went outside the building, following where Ritsuka went.

The main building had a heated discussion on what they should do next.

"Why don't we just kill it? I mean, it just revived. It could still be weak, right?"

Lee Jihye suggested and Yoo Sangah sighed next to her she said.

"You might be right, but we don't know where it is, and how strong it is, is up to debate since it broke the seal."

"Yoo Sangah-ssi is right, but the main problem is how it woke up."

Kim Dokja spoke up and everyone became silent, then it hit them at the same time.

"The grail broke it free from its seal."

Everyone was silent for a while, then a man with an unconscious child in his arms said.

"Kim Dokja-ssi, I need to say something."

Kim Dokja looked at the man before nodding. The man's name is Han Myungoh. He explained to everyone what has transpired during his mission to get back his child.

Everyone looked at Kim Dokja, an [Outer God King] who showed up but was beaten by Tezcatlipoca, but what surprised everyone was the [Outer God King] showing up this means that they'll eventually show up on earth.

*Creak*

They all heard it, and the room was silent. They saw the child Alcides had walked in and kneeled in front of Ritsuka. Everyone was shocked to see this sight and then Alcides spoke.

"Thank you, last master, of humanity. I, Alcides, won't forget this debt."

It confused mash then she completed the puzzle. Alcides the birth name of Heracles, she murmured to herself.

"Alcides the son of Zeus and Alcmene?"

"Yes."

It shocked everyone the Heracles they know were like a huge gundam they fought during Gigantomachia, but in front of all of them was a kid at the age of what seemed to be 14.

"I'm in this body because of some irregularity caused by my summoning. Someone has summoned here me but I don't know for what purpose, but for now, I'll be your servant until I can repay my debt."

Ritsuka sighed in relief, then Kim Dokja coughed to gain everyone's attention.

"We must prepare for the [Outer God Kings]. We do not know when or where will they appear, but to be safe we need to prepare."

They all nodded and one by one left the room to prepare all they know is that a storm is coming. Ritsuka went to Mash to check up on her since her injuries is much worse than his.

"Are you alright?"

Mash's expression beamed up and reassured her master that she was okay now.

"Yes, I'm feeling better now, senpai."

Jung Heewon, who saw this, whistled and said in a joking tone.

"Get a room, you two!"

Ritsuka and Mash blushed. The admiral nodded to the idea, but Alcides doesn't know what was going on.

***

In a place far away from earth, the [Apocalypse Dragon] who had vanquished the [nameless mist] and defeated the other [Outer God Kings] upon breaking the seal. The [Apocalypse Dragon] then polymorphed into an old man. He approached Tezcatlipoca and asked.

[Why did you revive me?]

Tezcatlipoca, watching a stream about Kim Dokja's company, turned it off and then looked at the [Apocalypse Dragon].

[To help me wipe out the humans]

The [Apocalypse Dragon] sighed and asked him again.

[I see, but what drove you to do this?]

[Goetia, had wanted to incinerate human history due to them being corrupt, his plans failed and had been defeated by Chaldea and its final master. This sparked something within me. I shall carry on Goetia's wishes and incinerate humanity in his stead]

Tezcatlipoca then turned around to see the fallen [Outer God Kings] they had appeared to help the one before but they lost the battle against the [Apocalypse Dragon] who had been enhanced by the grail, if they were to gang up on him they would've won but they went to him one by one.

***

Back on earth, the tides of monsters are ever increasing. They would compare it to the seventh singularity Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia, but it wasn't as hard because of the manpower this world posses.

"Alcides, take care of the ones that are flying!"

Alcides nodded as the admiral gave out the order. Ritsuka was in the back line eating what seems to be a golden apple while being protected by Mash.

For the past 3 days this is what they've been doing hunting some beasts, but for Ritsuka this is just his daily grinding, then he saw the beasts turning around and starting running, and Ritsuka stood up and said.

"Alcides, the Admiral, don't let a single one escape!"

"Yes, master."

"By your command!"

They shot the monsters with their bows laced with magical energy. The arrow traveled at great speeds, easily surpassing the speed of sound and accurately hitting the monsters, creating mini explosions as the arrow land, making craters on the streets.

"Good job Alcides, admiral."

The admiral nodded as he collected the material. Although they may seem lax, everyone was tense. Da Vinci said that if this continues to go on, the two worlds might collide with each other.

"Milord, and lady Mash, have you two heard anything from Kim Dokja and his group about the [Outer God Kings]?"

As the admiral asked that, Ritsuka shook his head. As they collected the materials, they went back, but as they were walking back, they saw Yoo Sangah in hurry.

"Ah, Yoo Sangah-san, is there a problem?"

She stopped in her tracks and shook her head.

"Nothing, it's just that Jonghyuk-ssi is awake."

Ritsuka exchanged confused glances with Mash. They don't know who this Jonghyuk is, but they know he's someone important to Yoo Sangah.

"It'll be easier to explain if you come with me."

They nodded and went along with her. They arrived in a big room where all of <Kim Dokja's Company> is. There on the bed, a handsome man sits with a serious look on his face. He glares at Ritsuka's group.

Before Ritsuka's group had arrived, they already explained an overview of what happened the past few days while he was unconscious. His eyes glowed gold as he observed the group with only one word parted from his mouth.

"Weak."
