"Octahorn!!" someone shouted. Horned monsters beyond penta were very rare and were hard to even fight against. There was a rumor that they needed at least three 7th stage Adapters to fight one heptahorn.

But this was a octahorn.

The octahorn Garnak glanced around, checking each soldier one by one. It then found Jaehwan and his scabbard.

The Garnak immediately roared and lunged at them.

"Master, I will fight him!"

"No! Let me!"

Cayman and Karlton quickly blocked the way.

"Fools, it's seniors first!"

Chunghuh also joined in. An octahorn was very valuable. It was a good opponent to test their power against, but the reward for defeating one was just too tempting. Yet, Jaehwan ran out through them.

"M-master!"

Jaehwan would not have cared if it wasn't for a certain reason.

His sword was shaking tremendously. As he swung his sword against the charging pentahorns, his sword munched away at them right away.

'I guess it was obviously hungry.'

The sword was severely damaged during the fight against Sameng Garam. If it wasn't for the fact that the Spirit Weapon healed itself, it would be better to just replace it.

'It's about time to move up a level.'

According to Meikal, Spirit Weapons had levels. The reason Jaehwan chose to fight the octahorn was to see if his sword would move up a level because of it.

Jaehwan began to fight the monster and people stood behind him, not too far away from the scene. It was very dangerous, but they did not back away.

"What are you guys doing? It's dangerous, you fools!"

"Doctor, we must see this." Yong answered Chunghuh's shout.

Chunghuh frowned.

"WHY?"

"We might never get to see it anymore."

Everyone knew what he meant.

"Oh, I see what you mean."

Jaehwan had not chosen who to bring to the yet. How many would be allowed to follow him? Chunghuh laughed. It seemed like he was confident that he was going to be chosen to tag along. Everyone smiled bitterly as it wasn't a case.

"Hey, why do you have such a face?"

The doctor then turned to Cayman who had the most trust from the entire team.

"Don't worry. He'll take you for sure," Cayman smiled, but he looked sad. Before Chunghuh could ask why, light burst from the front.

The power was mesmerizing to see. The world was torn in front of them, and the breath of the octahorn was decimated. The surrounding pentahorns couldn't even scream as they were destroyed.

The World Stab.

It was the attack that finally killed Sameng Garam in the end.

It was the attack made by the Awakener at the step of Creation.

The octahorn Garnak was lying on the ground, whimpering. All of its horns were consumed by Jaehwan's sword. Jaehwan then approached to put the monster out of its misery. Then, he heard a voice coming from within the factory.

[Wait. Let him live.]

Then came more voices.

[Amazing human. Smell of a General… none.]

[It's been a long time since I saw a being that can fight a Garnak at that level.]

[It's only a crude creation though.]

Jaehwan then sensed it. There were three of them on top of the building, three powerful spirit energies. They were only about the size of humans, but they were horned monsters. Everyone realized it quickly.

There were ten horns on each of their heads.

"G.o.ds… they existed."

Some of the people moaned. Jaehwan narrowed his eyes.

'So, it's them.'

According to the record Mulack left, there was a total of four 'humanoid horned monsters' in the factory.

[They have the energy of horned monsters, but they weren't monsters. They were powerful as Generals and were as intelligent as the wisest of humans. They were the fallen disciples of G.o.d that were summoned under contract with the Master artisans…]

But there was only three. It seemed one had not come out.

"They're finally here, those Factory Overseers," Chunghuh said.
