At first, Luana found it hard to believe that there was now another person who had not used their token on Earth. But after receiving the numerous reports that evidenced this person’s existence, she decided to wait, still dubious. Now that this person was now sitting in front of her, she had to acknowledge that she wasn’t alone.

But of all people, it just had to be Lee Jiwon. It was no lie that she was surprised and baffled to see him again, now of all times. Up until yesterday, she was the only deva on Earth.

Like all other devas and deities, she was also forcibly taken to the Judge’s Continent. She also came face to face to the same giant Don Gate and received the same message that calculated her points that she had earned during the Otadolon stage. Luana took that moment to decide that she didn’t want to go to the Judge’s Continent and wanted to return to Earth. While the system calculated her points, Luana used her random Skill that she had never used before, on herself.

==[Banish (Active), (1/1)

Luana’s exclusive Skill

Banishes the target from the target’s current location to the target’s previous location.

Cooldown: 90 days]==

Luana had thought this Skill was completely useless, as it never worked whenever she tried to use it.

==[The target’s current and previous location is Earth.

Banish does not work on this target.]==

She cursed the Skill endlessly. Obviously, she could only use Banish on fellow Terrans, even if they were devas or deities. But with the advent of the Judge’s Continent, Luana finally realized that was why Banish existed. Luana, faced with another path, thought over what to do again and again. When Luana was brought before the giant Don Gate, Luana made her decision; to stay on Earth and used Banish on herself.

==[Banish has been activated.

You will be Banished from your current location and forcibly returned to Earth.]==

Luana returned to Earth, the only deva in a world void of other devas and deities. She was now in a world of mortals. Luana had become a god, and had the power to make Earth her own. Luana immediately made the decision to save and lead the mortals on Earth, and made it happen.

Then, Lee Jiwon suddenly reappeared on Earth. As surprised and baffled as she was, Luana was not afraid. The last place Lee Jiwon was at was the Judge’s Continent. If he threatened her rule, she could just Banish him back to the Continent. And so, she did. “I, Luana, declare Lee Jiwon Banished from Earth!”

——

Luana had decided to Banish herself back to Earth before the giant Don Gate had finished calculating her points. Had she Banished herself after setting foot on the Judge’s Continent itself, there was a good chance, no, she WOULD have become the Keeper of Terra. The system would have accepted her as the owner of Earth, instead of Lee Jiwon.

But Luana was impatient and Banished herself before arriving on the actual Continent, while she was still connected to Earth. As the system was not able to complete its calculation of Luana’s points and completely sever her ties with Earth, Luana was not acknowledged by the system on Earth as its Keeper.

Luana had also returned to Earth without the rewards for her achievements during the Otadolon stage. It was quite unfortunate, as Luana had been the ruler of South America and one of Earth’s strongest devas. But Luana did not stay long enough to know about the rewards, so she wasn’t disappointed about what she had no knowledge of.

——

Luana pointed at me and said that I was banished from Earth. That really took me off guard, to be honest, especially with how confident she was. A message appeared before me.

==[Luana’s Random Skill, Banish, has been activated.

You have been Banished from Earth and will be returned to your previous location, the Judge’s Continent.]==

“What the…? Banish?”

“That’s right. I Banish you back to the Judge’s Continent. Well, not exactly the Continent, but back to that giant Don Gate. That’s how you got back to Earth, isn’t it?”

I couldn’t help smile at Luana’s unexpected Skill. There was a Skill for everything. I did feel pretty bitter, though. If I was kicked out of Earth now, I wouldn’t be able to come back for a while. Kazunari’s Created Dungeon was the only medium that connected me to Earth, but it was now destroyed.

Then again, I could come back to Earth once I won the war on the Judge’s Continent, but I did feel disappointed that I couldn’t prevent Luana from doing anything more to Earth during that time. Then, just when I was about to activate Judge’s Gavel and charge at her, another message appeared.

==[Lee Jiwon is the current Keeper of Terra.

Earth’s Keeper cannot be chased out by a citizen of Earth.

Luana’s Random Skill, Banish, is not applicable here.]==

“Huh?”

“Eh?”

Luana and I looked at each other in confusion. Luana should have gotten the same message, since it was her Skill that failed to activate just now.

My shocked expression turned into a beaming smile. “Oh, I see you didn’t know. I didn’t tell you? I’m now the owner of Earth. And, not like the way you went around self-proclaiming it, but officially. So, naturally the guest can’t go around kicking out the owner, right?”

“That’s…impossible!”

“Of course it’s possible.” I stood up from my seat and slowly walked over to Luana.

“I Banish Lee Jiwon from Earth! I Banish you, damn it!”

==[Lee Jiwon is the current Keeper of Terra.

Earth’s Keeper cannot be chased out by a citizen of Earth.

Luana’s Random Skill, Banish, is not applicable here.]==

Every time Luana tried to Banish me, the same message appeared before us.

“Why? Why? How did you become Earth’s Keeper? I didn’t go to the Judge’s Continent and stayed on Earth all this time! Earth’s Keeper should be me! Me! Not you! Me!”

“Who knows? Maybe Earth likes me more than you,” I said, but I really didn’t know for sure. Everything I knew was from the message that told me that I had set foot on Earth that was awaiting its fate, and it currently didn’t have an owner. Then, I became its owner. So ,really, how the heck was I supposed to know?

“I’ll kill you and steal it away from you! Then I’ll become Earth’s true owner!”

“Hah.” I scoffed at Luana’s threat. Luana hadn’t tasted a single EXP for years, since she didn’t even step foot on the Continent. She basically left herself behind. She was in way over her head to be challenging me.

“How dare you laugh at me? I am Luana! I am the ruler of South America! I was once called the Iron Maiden! No one ever dared bare their fangs at me, not even the Seven Monarchs!” Luana screeched with rage when she heard me laugh.

“I know. Everyone knew. But that was all in the past. No one remembers you anymore.”

“Grr! I’ll show you what it means to look down on me. Razor Whirlwind!” Luana’s patented Wind Magic that granted her the title of Iron Maiden; there was virtually no one who could withstand that Skill.

But that was a thing of the past. Gusts of sharp, cold wind blew out from Luana’s fingertips and blasted towards me.

Luana was definitely considered to be as strong as the Seven Monarchs. If I had fought her before the Judge’s Continent, I would have won, but it would have taken a long time. Most of my battles against the Monarchs were in a similar fashion.

But I had spent two years on the Judge’s Continent, and was ten times stronger than the last time I was on Otadolon Earth.

The most Luana’s Wind Magic could do to me was just flap my clothes and flutter my hair. “You don’t know what it’s like on the Continent, do you? It’s amazing. There are places where you can earn up to thirty billion golden rings in a single night, and you can use those golden rings to buy Stat points and increase your item Ranks in Stores. Ugh, it’s like heaven, except for the fact that you’re at war.”

“Don’t screw with me! I Summon Zephyr’s Rage! Razor Hurricane!” A swirling twister of high-speed winds formed around Luana’s hand and blew towards me.

The wind blew right past me and crashed into the wall behind me. “Ha… it’s such a pity to think the Iron Maiden’s Wind Magic has become this weak. Actually, no. Your magic is the same, I think. I must have just gotten too strong.”

“No…no, this can’t be…” She only attacked me twice, but those were her strongest spells. It was only normal for her to be horrified that neither of those skills had even made a scratch in my HP.

I took another step forward. “This can’t be happening? The evidence is right in front of you, and you still can’t accept it? You made the mistake of not coming to the Judge’s Continent and decided to stay on Earth. Ruler of South America? The Iron Maiden? Don’t make me laugh! The Continent is now FILLED with devas as strong as or stronger than you!” I almost yelled at Luana as she stared back at me, her eyes trembling in fear. I took out my spear without hesitation and said quietly, “Mana Conversion – Ice. Warrior’s Brave Spirit. Howl of the Wolf.”

==[Mana Conversion – Ice has been activated.]==

==[Warrior’s Brave Spirit Level 3 has been activated.

Level 3: 8 hour cooldown. For three hours, your ATT is increased by 30%, CRIT chance by 3%, CRIT damage by 150%, movement speed by 15%, and ATT speed by 7.5%. For one hour, Heroic Indomitable Spirit effect is placed (Heroic Indomitable Spirit decreases chance to avoid damage by 15%, increases DEF and MDEF by10% and all Stats by 500 points). Fatigue does not rise while skill is in effect.]==

==[Howl of the Wolf has been activated.]==

I never expected to see Warrior’s Brave Spirit reach level 3 before the end of war of the Continent, but there it was. It only raised my Stats by a few percent, but it was enough for me. I saved my Judge’s Gavel and my AoE Skills that were also level 3 now since there was a chance I could kill her in a single strike. I walked closer and closer to Luana.

“Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! I am Luana! Luana! Obliterate my foe! Thor’s Hammer!” I wasn’t sure if it was in despair or rage, but Luana’s eyes flashed with bloodthirst as she shouted and cast a powerful spell that filled the room with wind and lightning.

“Run…run away!”

“We’ll die if we get caught in the gusts!”

“Run!”

The six men who sat with Luana grabbed Frederic and his guards and ran out of the room, screaming in terror. This spell was strong enough to kill most average devas, so it was obviously fatal for mortals.

“Are you daft? I told you, you’re nothing compared to the devas on the Continent now. What makes you think your spells can hurt me? You might as well turn on that old ceiling fan of yours. If it fell off and hit my head, it would do more damage than your magic.” Luana’s magic threw chairs and furniture all over the room, but I continued to walk through the wind, completely unaffected.

I came to a stop and stood right in front of her, looking down at her. She was now on her behind, shaking uncontrollably. “You disappoint me, Luana. You could have been so much more.” The famous Luana of the past was gone now. I couldn’t help my disappointment. She was powerful and had rivaled the Monarchs in strength. I actually looked up to her. She was one of the few powerful female devas in our world, and didn’t take shit from anyone.

“Were you always such a coward? Or was it all one huge mistake? I’m beginning to think that Banish Skill of yours was a trap given to you by God. He must have really wanted you to mess up.”

“…” Luana didn’t answer me. As much as I hoped she had come to the Continent with the rest of us, it was just too late to help her. Well, I could bring her with me, but I didn’t have any reason to, especially after what she did to the humans. Besides, I had already defeated the enemy’s strongest player, Claudia. I had no use for Luana.

Her Banish Skill also didn’t sit well with me. She could use that Skill and Banish my mother or grandfather to someplace I did not know and take advantage of my weakness. That was why I gave up the idea of registering her in Call and having her at my beck and call like Zulova.

She was also now my enemy. I never had mercy for my enemies. The only thing that awaited my enemies was death, like always. I had never regretted that decision.

I stared coldly into Luana’s frightened eyes as I quietly and clearly said, “Judge’s Gavel.”
