Jason unleashed all of his cloaked magic power, too.

  Wuuoongg-….

  Ripples spread out to Jason's surroundings.

  Even then….

  Hahahaha-

  The oppo didn't stop ughing, even then.

  The ers of Jason's lips also arched up in response.

  'What a funny fel. Laughing so hard before his death!'

  Soon, Jason reached the boss's chamber. He was greeted by an unfathomably huge and open space that should have served as the home for the super-massive Giant monster.

  He tio walk towards where the ughter was ing from without a shred of hesitation.

  A few seds ter, a huge, muscur man with bluish-gray skiered their vision. His entire body was tied down by s, with the sole exception of his head.

  The man formed a bright smile while looking at Jason as if he had run into a very close friend.

  "Oh, how humorous this is! So very humorous!! All of you detestable Ruler bastards, take a good look at who had e to see me first!"

  Jason stopped near him and stared at the man.

  The man quickly carried on.

  "The s… hurry and undo these s. I know all the pns of the Rulers. I o let the other Sns know of the tru….."

  The man's words suddenly came to a halt, then. His eyes, filled with joy only until a moment ago, had cooled down in an instant as if it had all been a lie.

  "…"

  This unknown man quietly peered into Jason's red ruby eyes.

  A short bout of silence flowed iween them.

  Only after a while did the lips of this unknoart open.

  "You are…. not the ohat I know of."

  Jason grinned and took a step forward, standing only a few inches away from that man.

  "Hello there, Monarch of the Beginning, Legia, The King of Giants."

  Legia showed a surprised expression when he looked at Jason.

  "Y-You're not him so... How... do you..."

  "Hehe... I'm also a Monarch, The Shadow Monarch! But I'm also different from the one you know since Ashborn is my friend. And his vessel is one of subordinates"

  Legia's eyes trembled. He couldn't believe his hearing.

  Another Shadow Monarch? How this be possible?

  Seemingly reading his thoughts, Jason chuckled and tinued.

  "Ah, please don't wreck your little brain so much. Since you 't even guess it in eons. Ashborn is much more intelligent than you in this regard. Hahaha..."

  "What... what do you mean?!"

  "As you see Ashborn had betrayed both the Rulers and Monarchs. And you being a Monarch made you my enemy as I'm a friend of Ashborn." Jason's eyes fshed with red light as he released his killing i on Legia. "So, what should I do about you?!"

  Legia's entire body trembled in fear as goosebumps spread all over his skin.

  'What is this?... Such pressure and intense bloodlust. It is like... I'm standing in front of that being...'

  Legia didn't know why but his body moved instinctively bending his head to the ground.

  If not because he's ed, he might have prostituted himself.

  "I'll... I'll join... your side. I swear I'll fight on your side. So will you h-"

  "Tch, tch, are you even worthy enough?" Jason mocked him as he snapped his finger and instantly a few gates opened in front of Legia.

  Legia raised his head and gazed into them.

  A single gnce caused his entire self to shiver with goosebumps and his back drenched in a cold sweat.

  Jason was amused as he said. "Hehe... I hought that even the Monarchs could feel goosebumps."

  Grabbing Legia's head, Jason whispered in his ear. "At least the Rulers are much more brave than you. They put up a det fight before being a part of me. And now it's time for you to joioo."

  Jason's eyes turned dark bck as a vicious aura spread out from Jason's feet, c both him and Legia into a sphere.

  "N-No! D-Don't... Don't... I will..."

  Legia begged for mercy, watg the endless shadow opening its maw like a deep abyss. It grabbed Legia, dragging him down to hell.

  'Hehe... he was created from Darkness and now he was swallowed by the darkness. What a fitting ending!...'

  Jason chuckled evilly, throwing the s into his iory. Since he knew he needed a massive amount of mana to be released for the world to ge, Jason sighed and raised his haing out a huge amount of mana into the surroundings.

  The o-like magical energy exploded into the world outside.

  After making sure that there was nothio collect, Jasoed the gate and was instantly greeted by the sea of reporters and his guild members.

  "Hunter Hades, Thank you! Thank you so much!" Matsumoto Shigeo bowed his body at the 90* angle in front of Jason, sincerely showing his appreciation.

  Jason gazed at the President of the Japanese Hunter Association, patting his shoulder before walking away with his guild members.

  Even they everything seemed good on the surface, but they had some history together.

  ~~Fshback~~

  After the first S-rank gate was cleared, Jason expanded his authority like a fire, spreading it to all ers of the world.

  Not a single pce was out of his reach.

  Jason opened a branch of his Paradise Guild in all of the powerful tries, assigning his most trusted aides a position.

  He kept it average in tries where a National Level Hunter resided to not break the treaties but for the other tries, he trolled all of their markets and gates, in a way, ruling those tries from the shadows.

  One of such tries was Japan!

  It first weled Jason's guild with open arms as they needed his help in clearing the high-ranking dungeons that kept appearing all over Japan.

  But when S-rank hunters tio awaken in their try, the situation ged pletely.

  Matsumoto Shigeo, the President of the Hunter's Association was actually the most displeased with the Twin Dragon Guild.

  Matsumoto Shigeo was a greedy and self-tered man as he wao trol all the huo bee a powerful figure. But Twin Guild was not in his trol as they didn't even reize his prese alone listening to him.

  It really pissed him off!

  And for that, he supported Goto Ryuji from the shadows, iablishing a guild that could rival the Twin Dragon Guild.

  With his help, Goto Ryuji's Draw Swuild got the permit for most of the gates, leaving only the low-rank gates for the Twin Guild guild to humiliate them.

  But Long Sha and Duan Jian didn't eveertain them as they dispatched the hunters outside.

  As most of the overseas requests asked for the Twin Dragon Guild, Matsumoto Shigeo couldn't get in their way and could grit his teeth.

  That was until that fateful day...
