The scent of rusted iron wafted across the battlefield. Countless monster corpses were littered all over the place but the most eye-catching ones were the lightning wolves that the awakened humans had recently killed.
Although the battle against the lightning wolves was a victory, that only caused Keith to frown as he noticed that despite eliminating all of the lightning wolves, the dimensional gate hadn't turned green yet.
"This… smells like trouble. If my instinct is not mistaken, a powerful monster should come out of the dimensional gate."
"My previous guess was incorrect. The lightning wolves weren't the boss monsters but only mini-bosses. If that is the case, then one boss monster will come out of the dimensional gate."
Hearing Keith's words, Sherry nodded in agreement.
"I had never doubted your instinct. If you felt that a powerful monster will come out, then it should be true."
"But don't worry Keith. Even if it's a monster beyond the power of humanity, I won't allow you to die here. At most, I will force myself to use my space manipulation to its limits and teleport both of us to another world."
"After all, you haven't fulfilled your end of the deal yet!"
When Sherry mentioned their "deal", Keith's mouth twitched in annoyance.
"No need to mention that deal again. I slightly regret selling myself. But, thanks for worrying about my safety, Sherry."
When those words came out of his mouth, Keith pulled Sherry closer to him and hugged her.
'Sigh, if a monster beyond the power of humanity was released from the dimensional gate, I can only ask Systema Kami for the coordinates of a relatively safe world so Sherry can teleport the two of us there.'
'I value humanity, but I value my life more than my status as the Emperor of Humanity. As long as I am alive, I can recreate and lead humanity again. But if I am dead, world peace will end and the entire human race will walk on the path of self-destruction.'
'If I hadn't met Sherry and obtained the System Creator System, I would without a doubt sacrifice my life for the sake of protecting and saving humanity. But now, I prefer to live as only by being alive, can I experience the entertainment that life had in store for me.'
Keith had already made up his mind to abandon humanity if the crisis was beyond his power.
'The worst that can happen is that I abandon humanity and return to this timeline after I become a Universal God. But if I die here, I wouldn't be able to avenge humanity.'
Keith was well aware that if he reached the power of a Universal God, then he could easily control the laws of the universe. Any concepts within the universe could be controlled such as time and space.
'Sigh, I wouldn't be this desperate if I hadn't used my First Order skill.'
While thoughts entered Keith's mind, he immediately stopped being immersed in his thoughts as he noticed that a powerful pressure was released from the dimensional gate.
Not only Keith, but Sherry and the rest of the awakened humans had felt the overbearing pressure that was released from the dimensional gate.
Out of her concern over Keith's safety, Sherry had already placed her hand on Keith's shoulder so she could teleport the two of them in times of danger. Compared to Keith, she could care less about the safety of those nobodies.
While Sherry and Keith had already prepared their means of escape, the awakened humans were unaware that the two strongest in the Awakened Guild had already decided to abandon them. Ignorance was a bliss.
On the other hand, those awakened humans had placed all of their attention on the incoming enemy from the dimensional gate.
Several seconds after the overbearing pressure was released, a huge figure came out of the dimensional gate. It was too huge that the awakened humans had to retreat several meters away from it.
When its entire body came out of the dimensional gate, the awakened humans couldn't help but feel fear in their hearts. It was as if they had met an apex predator, a predator above them!
With a huge red-colored head, it had two enormous orange and yellow slitted pupils like that of a lizard. On top of its head, two large white horns protruded, showing off its might.
With four limbs that had a large sharp claw that had cut the building around it into several pieces, the enormous monster was flying in the air using a pair of red bat-like wings.
"Fuck! Is that a dragon!"
"And it is red in color. It should be a fire dragon!"
The yells of astonishment and fear from the awakened humans had confirmed the identity of the enormous monster from Arcadia.
Even in Arcadia, the dragon race was dominant and was at the top of the food chain. Only the gods could ever hope to suppress the strongest dragon and a few dragons even possessed the ability to slay a god!
It was no wonder that a weak race like the human race felt primal fear towards the red dragon.
The awakened humans' experience was like when a deer saw a lion. It was when a prey and a predator met!
"Those who desert this battlefield will be labeled as a criminal! Fight for the sake of humanity and our freedom as proud humans!"
Before the thoughts of retreat and desertion entered the minds of the awakened humans, the voice of Keith McDowell entered their ears.
"Who said we are retreating!? Let's go brothers, kill this damn lizard!"
"Fuck! So what if that lizard is a dragon? It just so happens that my childhood dream was to slay a dragon and become a dragon slayer!"
"Only you weak foreigners will retreat! Us cultivators haven't shown the full power of China yet!"
The riled-up voices of the awakened humans reverberated on the battlefield!
Despite their differences, they couldn't deny that all of them were human. And as humans, they only have one goal.
To kill that damn invader!
