Антарес

**Антарес** (안타레스) - Король Драконов Берсерков и Монарх Разрушения. Он является последним антагонистом Поднятия уровня в одиночку, а также бывшим сильнейшим Монархом.

## Внешность

В ранобэ его человеческая форма описывается как мужчина средних лет с рыжевато-чёрными волосами, бородой и демоническими змееподобными глазами. Он от шеи и до пят закован в шикарные металлические доспехи, которые могли похвастаться смесью серебристых и красноватых тонов.

## История

Eons ago, Antares fought alongside the other Monarchs in a devastating war with the Rulers at the behest of their creator, the Absolute Being. Although they fought hard, the Rulers ultimately prevailed when the Shadow Monarch Ashborn suddenly disappeared after killing the Demon King Baran, forcing Antares and the other surviving Monarchs to find refuge in the cracks between worlds.

At some point after this, Ashborn returned and asked Antares if he could join back. As the other Monarchs were still weakened from their loss to the Rulers and needed time to restore their powers, Antares gladly granted his request.

Centuries later, when the war with the Rulers started up again in the human world, Antares was in the same pickle that Ashborn was in and could not find a human vessel strong enough to withstand his powers. As a result, while the other Monarchs were able to find vessels for themselves relatively quickly and move about in the human world however they pleased, Antares was forced to remain behind until a proper vessel for himself could be found.

### Final Battle Arc

Following the deaths of the other Monarchs, Antares descended into the human world through a gigantic gate in Canada to finish what his brethren started and kill the new Shadow Monarch himself. Once he made landfall, he began razing everything to the ground in his path, reducing entire cities to ash and slaughtering millions of innocent people, including Adam White and Jay Mills.

When Antares finally confronted Jinwoo, the two of them duked it out and despite Jinwoo's best efforts, Antares ultimately beat him to a pulp, but not without sustaining grievous injuries himself. Before he could kill Jinwoo, however, the seven Rulers appeared and rushed Antares with their blades from all directions, inflicting him with fatal wounds. Realizing that the whole thing had been a setup and that Jinwoo had deliberately lured him here to kill him once and for all, Antares silently accepted his fate as he succumbed to his injuries and bled out, finally ending the war with the Rulers and saving humanity from certain extinction.
