Chapter 45 - The Ragnarok Begins!
.

In just a few hours the Ragnarök shall commence, and I can\'t sleep at all like this.
The expectation is killing me.
Although… after becoming a Dhampir, I feel oddly relaxed and more composed, calm too.
I have been planning things around, if we are ever raided by a beast, they will all be blown away by the traps we settled up, and the golems guarding us will also attack.
And well, there are also my Summons and my tamed monster pets, which include Cuco, who has recently reached level 10 and then broke through his level cap, now being at Level 16.
Unlike summons, you don\'t need to give resources to monster pets for them to evolve, so he is now even stronger… my little black cat is such a strong beast now, it makes me proud.
Here are his stats…
…
[Name: [Cuco]
[Race: [Shadow-Born Snake-Tailed Venomous Black Cat]
[Monster Grade: [E-Grade]
[Element(s): [Darkness], [Poison]
[Level: [16/20]
[Vitality: [720/720]
[Mana: [230/230]
[Strength: [560]
[Magic: [280]
[Dexterity: [780]
[Skills]
[Venomous Dark Claws (E)]
[Shadow Walk (E)]
[Intimidating Glare (E)]
…
He hasn\'t learned any new skills, but he has become pretty good at using his natural strength and agility.
Meanwhile, the other monsters I have tamed had also grown stronger… but my plan is simple, I will fuse them into Cuco to make my cat the ultimate Black Cat Monster!
However… not yet!
I want them all to grow even stronger before that, and then finally fuse them into Cuco so he can grow exponentially stronger, probably finally increasing his Grade again and receiving a nice extra boost to his Stats.
It is already night here, around 9 PM… all of us are above the rooftop of the house, waiting for hours to go by and… for whatever is to come to finally happening.
We will survive together, no matter what.
…
[Day 7]
We have been awakening while chatting around to calm ourselves until the count finally was reaching the last minute… at 6 Am on Day 7, everything would begin again.
We had already explored the Daily Dungeon when it was 1 AM, so I got a bit more loot to go by.
While practicing my Skills, two new Skills just awakened.
Ding!
[The [Beginner Magic Weapon Technique (E)] Skill has awakened into the [Apprentice Magic Weapon Technique (D)] Skill!]
[The [Beginner Magic Armor Technique (E)] Skill has awakened into the [Apprentice Magic Armor Technique (D)] Skill!]
Yep, these two became D-Rank Skills, and their effects simply were enhanced, so the descriptions were nothing too fancy like the Dhampir Skill.
Kireina is at my side, holding my hand.
"It is about to begin…" I said as she nodded.
"Let\'s survive together," she told me, her crimson eyes flashing with resolve.
"We will…" I said.
And then… the clock reached 6 AM, and a System window emerged in front of me and not only me but also my Summons.
Ding!
[The Ragnarök shall commence!]
[Initiating Dimensional Merge… please, sit tight!]
And then, the entire world changed.
I saw as a crack in the sky emerged, as if space itself was broken like glass.
FLASH!
And from within the flash, a downpour of what seemed to be immense quantities of rainbow-colored energies entered, covering the entire world with brilliance.
More cracks appeared everywhere, we began to see the wonders of what was occurring in front of us, but the perceptions we had about our surroundings couldn\'t completely fathom the spectacle before our eyes.
The sky began to fall into pieces, as a large area of the cracked space emerged and turned crimson-red. Enormous eyes glared at us with immense bloodthirst, as a creature so gargantuanly enormous appeared, stretching endless tentacles through the faraway landscape, breaking apart mountains and seeping its tentacles deep underground, beginning to suddenly drain something from the world.
CRACK… CRACK!
Suddenly, from the east, space began to fragment into pieces as a flash of what seemed to be sickly-green fog seeped into the ground, everything within that area turned into a strange and alien-like landscape a second after, trees grew eyes and tentacles and turned purple, and enormous ruins erected out of nowhere, leading to some unknown place.
CRASH!
From the west, the sky was pierced by what seemed to be an enormous golden spear, which fell over the ground and clashed with lightning everywhere, the entire earth shook, as the debris flew everywhere, my eyes couldn\'t move away from this spectacle.
From within the crack made by the spear, a radiant humanoid being emerged, through the light I was able to see a man with a path and a long golden beard, wearing ancient golden clothes and glaring at our world with greed, smiling maliciously.
BOOOM!
From above us, the world broke apart, a sudden wormhole emerged, leading to some faraway galaxy, and from within, an enormous group of highly advanced spaceships appeared, being enhanced with large forcefields made of what I believed was mana… or something else.
The spaceships ignored us as they went through the sky, seemingly targeting the big cities.
The enormous man wielding the golden spear suddenly called upon many more like him, all of these entities glowed with elemental, divine brilliance, wielding all types of legendary weapons as they flew through the skies, throwing attacks far away and then noticing the big cities kilometers from here, flashing there while ignoring our dim presence… these beings were higher than anything I have ever felt.
And to the south, the earth began to tremble, an enormous crater opened as lava flowed out freely, and then, demonic creatures of all shapes and sizes started to flow out of it, crawling through the entire landscape and beginning to hunt anything in their sight while some even killed and devoured each other.
Aside from them, a gigantic structure appeared, resembling a tower made entirely out of crimson metallic materials, it had a glowing red door with letters I couldn\'t understand.
The world kept changing until it became unrecognizable, Earth was not even Earth anymore…
