Chapter 12 - Chapter-12 The Rise of the Black Heart

This single word wasn't just a sound; it was a call that summoned a world. In the blink of an eye, a massive army began to pour out of the dimensional rifts behind Kovarth. Hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands of warriors a total of 212,000 soldiers made up of countless races, from dragons to orcs, giants to elves. As the dungeon's narrow corridors filled with this immense crowd, the air, once reeking of death, suddenly filled with life and a powerful war energy.At the head of this colossal army, a cool and striking figure had appeared. He wore a long, cream-colored coat over a stylish black shirt and pants, with elegant Chelsea boots on his feet. This person was none other than Omer Jin-Hoo. Hovering directly above Omer was Antaios, a magnificent Flying Flame Dragon with fiery wings. To his right stood Baran, a powerful warrior, while to his left was Sigrun, a deadly and graceful female warrior. Behind them, the silent and imposing Vidar stood waiting.Kovarth watched this unexpected scene in stunned disbelief, as Ignarion swiftly lunged forward. In an instant, he rescued Ae-Cha from Kovarth's grasp and brought her safely to Vidar. Vidar began to use his power to heal Ae-Cha's deep wounds. Ae-Cha, with tears in her eyes, looked at her savior and met Omer's gaze. Omer sent her a reassuring, warm smile, and that smile melted the ice of despair in Ae-Cha's heart.At that moment, the 10 heroes on the ground and the 500 warriors behind them watched the scene in astonishment and awe. They could not believe such power existed.Kovarth roared in anger at the sight, turning to Ignarion and threatening, "So you've bowed to this wretched human! I will destroy you! You will experience Surtur's Doom!" Ignarion coolly replied, "You can do that, if you can manage to defeat our King."Following these words, a transparent, digital screen appeared before Omer's eyes. (Quest: Defeat the Aldwulf Dungeon Boss Kovarth - SSS+ Rank). This was not just a game screen, but a call that would determine his destiny. Ignarion turned to Omer, saying, "My Lord, Kovarth's power is immense. Right now, there is no one here who can challenge him except for you. You must be careful." But Baran smiled confidently at Ignarion: "Trust in our King, Ignarion. He will defeat him."

Omer turned to his army. His voice echoed through every corner of the dungeon: "You will protect the remaining 500 people and the 10 heroes on the ground. Trust me, I will defeat him!"The army followed the command without hesitation. Omer and Kovarth were left alone in the dungeon's ruined hall. Kovarth looked at Omer with a sneer. "Are you the Emperor? No, you are a simple human. Die here now!" he growled.Omer's voice was cold and resolute. "I am warning you one last time. Tell me where my family is, or I will kill you in the most excruciating way ever, and you will beg for death."Enraged by this insolence, Kovarth replied, "So a mere insolent person like you dares to challenge me. Know your place! If you want to know your family's location, you must get past me. But don't worry, I will kill you and your family in such a way that I will enjoy it," he said, and with incredible speed, he was at Omer's side. When he roared, the entire dungeon trembled. Ignarion, watching from a distance, whispered in astonishment, "What kind of power is this?"Kovarth asked, "Do you know who I am?" Omer's reply was short and to the point: "It doesn't matter."

The expression on Omer's face had become lethally serious. "Then die here, you wretched human!" Kovarth screamed, and with all his might, he threw a punch at Omer. The impact of the punch destroyed half of the dungeon. The entire army tried to protect the remaining people, but the dungeon was beginning to collapse on itself.To prevent further casualties, Omer acted instantly. "Cancel Dimensional Summon!" he commanded. He then turned to his generals: "Ignarion, Antaios, Sigrun! Take the remaining 500 people and the 10 heroes to your own dimension. I will summon you when the battle is over!"The dimensional rifts opened again. The entire army, the generals, and the wounded entered these rifts, moving to a safe dimension. With the closing of the rift, Omer Jin-Hoo and Kovarth were left alone in the depths of this ruined dungeon for a final confrontation. The deadly final battle had begun.Omer Jin-Hoo and Kovarth were left alone in the dungeon's ruined, collapsing hall. The silence that surrounded them was like a harbinger of the apocalypse about to begin. Omer threw off his stylish coat and took out his two daggers. Their sharp edges glimmered faintly in the darkness. The determined expression on his face showed that the time for games was over.Kovarth roared and attacked Omer. Omer's speed had reached a superhuman level. With his daggers, he sliced Kovarth's massive body right down the middle. However, Kovarth was not affected by the blow. As soon as his body was torn apart, he was reborn from the shadows, and he revealed his Soul-Devouring Claws, swinging them at Omer.

The battle had begun. The two enemies attacked each other at a speed no human eye could follow. Hundreds, even thousands of blows collided in the air every second, and purple and red auras created a veritable lightning storm in the sky. Each blow shook the dungeon's remaining walls and cracked the floor.Omer tried to use his Emperor's Dominion ability, but a warning screen appeared: (Notification: Ability Unavailable). This showed the sheer scale of Kovarth's power. At that very moment, Kovarth lashed out at Omer with a poisonous tongue. Omer expertly parried the attack and gathered all his mana into his daggers. His eyes glowed with a deadly purple aura.The final attack he made with the tips of his daggers was so powerful that the entire area completely collapsed from the impact of the explosion. When the thick smoke dissipated, they found themselves in a strange place. It was a deserted battlefield covered with gray clouds. The battle continued here, growing even more intense.In the most critical moment of the battle, Omer thought of Ae-Cha. Her helpless face ignited a fire of vengeance within Omer. His eyes blazed with intense fury, and he launched a deadly attack with all his might. Kovarth's body was once again split in two. The impact of the explosion seemed to tear the very earth and sky apart.

When the cloud of smoke cleared, a horrific sight was revealed. In a final move, Kovarth had plunged his deadly claws into Omer's chest. Blood gushed from Omer's mouth, and his entire face was covered in it. As Kovarth injected his venom into Omer's body, he said, "You entertained me, human. But this is the end. Die," and he tore Omer's organs apart.

A warning appeared before Omer's eyes: (WARNING: Player's Health Below 5%. Player May Die). Then, the most feared message appeared on the screen: (PLAYER DIED).Kovarth tossed Omer's lifeless body aside like a ragdoll. Then, a portal opened behind him, and Omer's family was seen hanging, bound to the walls. His mother and sister, İrem, helplessly witnessed Omer's death. His mother fainted, while İrem sobbed uncontrollably. Turning to them, Kovarth roared, "Your and your mother's end will be just like your brother's! I will tear off your flesh while you're still alive, and you will beg for death!"İrem screamed with all her might: "OPPA! PLEASE, PLEASE SAVE ME AND MOTHER, BİG BROTHER! MY MOM İS DYİNG! PLEASE,HELP!"Kovarth ignored these desperate cries, grabbed İrem's head, and began to squeeze. "Die now, human!" he said. As İrem closed her eyes and waited for her end, something unexpected happened. When she opened her eyes, an event that changed the entire scene had taken place.

When she opened her eyes again, the sight before her was unbelievable.Kovarth's arm, which was about to kill her, was being held firmly. Omer, with his brutally mutilated body, blood-covered face, and eyes filled with a deadly seriousness, stood before him like a monster. A terrifying dark aura swirled around his eyes. This was the result of the notifications (PLAYER ACTIVATED BLACK HEART) and (Player's Power Increased by 500%). Omer was no longer an ordinary warrior; he had become a being more dangerous than evil itself, burning with the fire of vengeance.In a single motion, Omer tore off Kovarth's arm. For the first time in his life, Kovarth screamed in such agony. "Die, you wretch!" he roared, delivering a fatal blow with all his might. But Omer easily parried the strike and split Kovarth's body in two. As Kovarth's fragmented body tried to reassemble, Omer grabbed him by the head and lifted him into the air. His voice was like a whisper from the deepest parts of the dungeon, but it was powerful enough to make the entire world tremble: "You will beg for death."He carried Kovarth away and threw him into a distant area. He was acting like a monster now. He tore Kovarth to pieces, mercilessly crushing every single part of him. For the first time, Kovarth was begging someone: "Please, let me go, I will bow to you!" But Omer's ears were deaf to pleas for mercy. He only wanted revenge. He completely tore Kovarth apart. The force of this horrific explosion scattered all the clouds in the sky and seemingly ripped the sky in two.This final blow not only annihilated Kovarth but also completed Omer's quests: (Quest Complete: Defeat the Aldwulf Dungeon Boss ✅) and (Quest Complete: Clear the Aldwulf Dungeon ✅). Following the victory, Omer's power had also multiplied: (Player Leveled Up to Z) and (Emperor's Dominion Reached Level 100).

When Omer called out "Vatra!", his entire army and generals returned from the dimensional rifts. The 500 people and the 10 heroes on the ground were completely healed thanks to Vidar's healing power. Baran had rescued Omer's mother and sister, and Ignarion began to heal them.

Omer ran to his family. He hugged his mother and sister. "Don't be afraid, İrem," he said. "Your big brother is here." Antaios and Sigrun came to stand beside İrem to protect her. He had been reunited with his family.

Then, Omer went to Kovarth's corpse and gave one last command by saying "Vatra!". Kovarth's soul was resurrected and instantly obeyed Omer. It was sealed and took on a Shadow Form. Omer gave it a new name: "Neroth". Neroth had now joined Omer's army. In this way, the deepest darkness of the dungeon had fallen under Omer's command.
