The demon armor writhed even after being pierced by Great Sin.
Seeing this, Go Johan’s eyes lit up.
That’s when it happened.
[You have acquired the unique achievement: Archdemon Slayer.]
[All stats increase against archdemons.]
He smiled with satisfaction under the goddess’s praise.
[You have acquired the unique achievement: Destroyer of the Demon Realm.]
[When acquired together with other achievements, you can open gates to the demon realm.]
“……!”
And another voice that surprised Go Johan.
[You have acquired a World Fragment as a reward.]
Even the mysterious fragment he had obtained before.
Gluttony and Yoon Seung-Ah had already begun investigating this separately.
[You have acquired the Incomplete Demon Armor.]
When the demon armor seemed to be recognized as property.
Kurururu!
The world began to collapse.
[Varatkgoen’s slaves are being expelled.]

“Captain!”
When Go Johan opened his eyes, the first thing he faced was Yoon Seung-Ah.
Go Johan was about to greet her happily when.
Sway.
He lost his balance and swayed.
Saaaa!
Yoon Seung-Ah’s wind embraced and caught Go Johan.
“Captain!”
She and the apostles who rushed over immediately supported Go Johan.
“Are, are you alright?”
“…I’m fine. I just overdid it a bit.”
Why wouldn’t he be?
No matter how much he possessed abilities as an adversary of demons, how much the hierarchy of sins activated, and how Varatkgoen wasn’t a complete archdemon.
‘Archdemon.’
It was an archdemon.
Immediately slaying it with minimal combat was inevitably quite taxing even for Go Johan.
“Tsk.”
Then a voice like blunt metal was heard.
“Really… you’ve become weak.”
There stood Brown Beard and what appeared to be surviving dwarfs with blank faces.
“Those are…?”
“Not enemies.”
At Go Johan’s words, Yoon Seung-Ah nodded, and that’s when it happened.
“Thank you for saving us.”
Brown Beard bowed again and spoke.
“However, it seems we can no longer stay together.”
Bzzt! Bzzzt!
Noise-like phenomena began appearing on the bodies of Brown Beard and the surviving dwarfs.
“It seems that unlike you, we are beings not permitted in this world.”
It was an annihilation reaction.
The world’s will to prevent external intruders who didn’t belong to the world.
“…Why?”
Go Johan seemed unable to easily understand.
Even demons stepped on this land, even monsters rampaged through Breaks, so why weren’t they allowed?
‘Goddess.’
Was this the goddess’s will?
“It was the last time, but I was happy to fight together.”
Brown Beard stepped forward as representative and spoke.
“…I wanted to stand by your side even once, but just fighting properly on the same battlefield is a glorious thing.”
The noise was getting worse.
“There’s much I want to say, but…”
Brown Beard calmly closed his eyes.
And the rest of the dwarfs showed similar reactions.
They had lived as slaves, dreaming only of revenge.
Finally, thanks to Go Johan, they had succeeded in that revenge and fought together with Go Johan for a short time.
‘You wouldn’t know.’
Go Johan wouldn’t know.
What all those who belonged to Travania could do for that one glory.
Go Johan was both an object of resentment and admiration for all races.
Bzzt!
The noise was gradually getting worse when.
Thud.
Something fell in front of Brown Beard.
“This… this is!”
Brown Beard, recognizing what it was, opened his small eyes wide.
“Demon armor!”
It was the demon armor that Varatkgoen, no, Iron Hammer had poured everything into creating.
A legend and mythology of the dwarfs, and the first masterpiece they could hope for success.
“…You’ll need to find a way to wear that.”
“……!”
“Can you do it?”
“But…”
They were disappearing due to the world’s rejection reaction.
Gulp.
If they could help in any way, they wanted to help.
Even out of pity for the blood of their kinsmen absorbed in there, they wanted to complete it somehow.
It was the soul of a craftsman that hadn’t been broken even by the demons’ whips.
“There is a way…”
Go Johan, supported by Yoon Seung-Ah, slowly stood on his own feet and faced Brown Beard.
“There is.”
He seemed to understand why the annihilation reaction was occurring in them.
‘Procedure.’
They didn’t seem to know yet, but Go Johan could tell.
“…You’ve already fallen.”
“…What do you mean!”
“Do you think you wouldn’t have lost your purity after being trapped there for so long?”
Go Johan spoke with Michael’s voice.
“You just didn’t become Dvergr…”
Ripple.
Black threads were tangled all over the dwarfs’ colors.
“You too are already no different from them.”
“You! Do you intend to insult us!”
“It’s not an insult.”
There was evidence.
‘Demon slaying.’
They had definitely annihilated the Dvergr.
That was something that only happened between fellow demons.
They too were beings who had become half-demonized without knowing it, with sins infiltrating them.
“It’s fact.”
“Then…!”
As mentioned, procedure.
Demons could only manifest through summoning rituals or special routes like Black Gates.
But this Black Gate wasn’t opened by their side but by ours, and they had manifested through the wrong method, not the designated route.
It was simple.
“…We’ll have to keep fighting.”
“……?”
“…Will you take revenge?”
It was the moment Go Johan asked in a tired voice.
Whoosh!
Flames seemed to flicker in the dwarfs’ eyes.
At that moment when they had lost hope and were about to give up everything.
“We will! Even if we offer our entire souls!”
It was like salvation.
Swish.
Go Johan placed his hand on Brown Beard’s head.
Like performing a baptism.
[Taking vicarious responsibility for dwarf Brown Beard’s sins.]
[A certain amount of Karma Points acquired.]
“Ahhhhh!”
[You have acquired the title: Destroyer of Dwarfs.]
[You have acquired the unique achievement: Destroyer of Races.]
[You have acquired racial privilege: Black Lava’s Protection.]
[You have acquired racial privilege: Black Steel’s Will.]
He could feel his whole body writhing.
Spark!
He could feel another tattoo being carved.
It was below Go Johan’s ear, a pattern of hammer and axe.
[You have acquired Destroyer privilege: Demon Armor Qualified.]
With that as the end.
Thud.
Go Johan collapsed.

When Go Johan opened his eyes.
“It’s a mess!”
Sharp? Stern? Annoying? A voice filled with numerous emotions burst out.
“It’s a mess! A mess!”
He thought he knew whose voice it was.
“Do you think this kind of thing is suitable as a temple to serve that person!”
“No…”
“Quiet! I must rebuild this place immediately!”
Brown Beard.
‘Did he survive?’
He was confident, but there was also some uncertainty.
But it seemed to be a success.
In his rising memories.
[You have acquired Destroyer of Dwarfs.]
Such a voice seemed to have been heard.
‘Why…’
Not savior but destroyer?
He briefly had such doubts.
Swish.
But he seemed to understand.
That Brown Beard’s revenge meant their destruction.
That being with him would lead to the destruction of their race.
‘I…’
Had already destroyed their race.
“Are you awake?”
At the voice he heard then, Go Johan turned his head.
“Seung-Ah?”
Relief appeared on Yoon Seung-Ah’s face.
This was the church’s underground Warp Gate.
“Why did I wake up here?”
Go Johan’s speech had also changed back to its original tone.
“Because of that.”
Yoon Seung-Ah pointed to Go Johan’s side.
Writhe!
There sat the demon armor with Great Sin stuck in it.
Great Sin was an object that no one but Go Johan could dare touch.
If an unauthorized person touched it, they would definitely be devoured by the sins contained in Great Sin and become a demon beast, or die instantly.
The demon armor with it stuck in was the same kind of object.
‘Iron Hammer was using all of the archdemon’s power just to suppress the demon armor.’
Just to suppress it.
“Oh!”
That’s when it happened.
“Are you awake?”
The owner of the sharp voice, Brown Beard, approached and spoke.
“……?”
Go Johan flinched for a moment and looked up at him.
“…Brown Beard?”
It was an unfamiliar face.
He couldn’t find brown anywhere, nor could he find dwarf characteristics like short stature.
A young man who appeared to be about 170 cm tall, and quite…
“Thanks to you.”
Brown Beard smiled and said.
“My race has changed.”
“……!”
It wasn’t impossible.
After all, demonized dwarfs were called Dvergr.
“They call us Dwarven now.”
“Dwarven?”
“…This system thing.”
“Ah.”
It seemed they had been definitively recognized as residents of the world.
Brown Beard and the other surviving dwarf survivors seemed to have been born as a completely new race through Go Johan’s vicarious responsibility.
“Is this… the voice of your god…?”
He asked very carefully.
“Probably.”
“……?”
This time doubt appeared on Brown Beard’s face.
“Why the formal speech?”
“……?”
“How can someone like you speak formally to a lowly servant!”
A resounding voice echoed all around.
“Lower your speech! Destroyer!”
“…Destroyer?”
“That voice you love told us! That you destroyed our clan!”
“……?”
He was flustered.
“Thank you! For completely destroying our damn clan!”
“Wa, wait…!”
“It should be destroyed! Damn right! Yes, it should be destroyed.”
“Right!”
Dwarfs who appeared from somewhere, now become Dwarven, nodded their heads.
“Thanks to you, we were reborn! Dwarf Destroyer!”
Saying such things while sparkling their eyes so respectfully left him speechless.
“But you are the savior and sovereign of the Dwarven.”
At that moment.
Thud.
The Dwarven respectfully knelt on both knees.
It was different from the dwarfs who supposedly never knelt to anything.
“We greet our sovereign. Our god.”
