64. When I followed Yoo Chae, a scroll actually came out. Thanks to that, I was able to quickly collect the remaining 5 and complete the adventure quest. “……” Even though I barely finished the quest I had taken the time to do from the other day, I still didn’t feel good. Upon returning home, I suspected that Chae Yoo-jung and Yoo Chae might be the same person until right before connecting to Zenoris. But now... I don’t know. At the time I was meeting Chae Yoo-jung at the wedding, Yoo- Chae was participating in an event raid in Zenoris. Since he told me beforehand, I also know where the scroll would appear. Knowing that, it wasn’t easy to be sure. Of course… He could have left the game to someone else to attend the wedding. On behalf of Chae Yoo-jung, someone chatted with the guild members as Yoo Chae, ran a raid, and looked over at the scrolls I still needed... “No, are you saying that he had to keep all that in mind?” Why the hell would he try to deceive me with so much effort? Is this really a realistic possibility? [Party] Yoo Chae: Because we got all the scrolls [Party] Yoo Chae: Next, let’s do a quest to get an NPC’s ring Hyung [Party] Yoo Chae: You only need to collect 5 of them, so it will be over soon ㅎㅅㅎ [Party] Yoo Chae: The rewards are great!! [Party] Yoo Chae: Hyung? [Party] I’m Sleepy: I’m sorry [Party] I’m Sleepy: I was looking at something else for a while I groaned and clutched at my forehead, where the headache was coming up, and I missed the chat. I answered as nonchalantly as possible. [Party] I’m Sleepy: yeah [Party] I’m Sleepy: I was going to do that anyway [Party] I’m Sleepy: Is this also in a random location? [Party] Yoo Chae: No! [Party] Yoo Chae: The distance is a bit far [Party] Yoo Chae: The location is fixed [Party] I’m Sleepy: I’ll have to get the quest from NPC. [Party] Yoo Chae: Hyung, Are you busy? [Party] Yoo Chae: I’m riding on my pet [Party] Yoo Chae: I’ll take you to the NPC quest area >_< I smiled wryly at Yoo Chae’s words– he’s still the same as usual. [Party] I’m Sleepy: if you do that, tk [Party] I’m Sleepy: I think I need to look to do my assignments for a while [Party] Yoo Chae: ㅎㅅㅎ [Party] Yoo Chae: Get on! I couldn’t concentrate on the game, so I asked for it while lying, and the guy readily accepted it. The scenery on the screen has changed, as if the pet summoned by Yoo Chae had used the Continent Shift item. I left it alone and sent a personal message to Crazy Hunting Friend as I did to Harn. [I’m Sleepy: Friend-nim] [I’m Sleepy: You got a minute?] [Crazy Hunting Friend: yeah?] [Crazy Hunting Friend: Oh, it’s Sleepy-nim?] [I’m Sleepy: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ] [I’m Sleepy: there’s something I want to ask] [Crazy Hunting Friend: What is it?] [I’m Sleepy: Did you go on a red dragon raid?] [Crazy Hunting Friend: Gasp] [Crazy Hunting Friend: How did you know?] [I’m Sleepy: was Yoo Chae there?] [Crazy Hunting Friend: Gasp...] [Crazy Hunting Friend: he’s scary, sleepy] [I’m Sleepy: How was it? Yoo Chae] [Crazy Hunting Friend: What is?] [I’m Sleepy: something felt different] [I’m Sleepy: Is it something you can’t explain?] [Crazy Hunting Friend: ??] [I’m Sleepy: was he like someone else or something like that] [Crazy Hunting Friend: ???] [Crazy Hunting Friend: Oh, really?] [Crazy Hunting Friend: Gilma didn’t like chatting much, but] [Crazy Hunting Friend: that’s usually the case] [Crazy Hunting Friend: It doesn’t seem like he was someone else] [I’m Sleepy: Is it so?] [Crazy Hunting Friend: Yes] [Crazy Hunting Friend: Why?] [Crazy Hunting Friend: Did you ask that?] [I’m Sleepy: No, it’s nothing special] [I’m Sleepy: Anyway, tk tk] [Crazy Hunting Friend: ok ok] Crazy Hunting Friend’s answer was not very different from Harn’s. It’s a game chat. You can deceive me as many times as you want to deceive, so I don’t believe it blindly... It was ambiguous to grab another guild member here and ask more. “I’m going crazy, really.” Listening to the stories of the guild members, Chae Yoo-jung, whom I met at the wedding, is not Yoo-chae, but the overlapping names or similar voices are suspicious... I don’t know what the heck was going on anymore. I shook my head for a while before finally sighing. I guess it’s wrong to play games today. Maybe it’s because I put a lot of thought into it, and I’m a bit tired. [Party] I’m Sleepy: Kim Yoo-chae [Party] Yoo Chae: Yes? [Party] I’m Sleepy: I’m sorry, but I’ll stop here [Party] I’m Sleepy: I can’t concentrate because I’m tired Yoo Chae, who was riding a horse and walking along a forest road with my character, showed a tearful emotional expression in the chat. [Party] Yoo Chae: Hyung, are you sick? ㅜㅡㅜ [Party] I’m Sleepy: no, I’m not sick [Party] I’m Sleepy: I should just rest [Party] I’m Sleepy: let’s do it tomorrow [Party] Yoo Chae: ㅠㅡㅠ.. [Party] Yoo Chae: I’m fine... [Party] Yoo Chae: Hyung, don’t be sickㅠㅠ! [Party] I’m Sleepy: ㅋㅋㅋi’m not sick I undid a couple of buttons on my shirt that I had fastened to the top of my neck. I haven’t even washed yet because I started playing the game as soon as I got home. What am I doing? [Party] I’m Sleepy: I’m going [Party] I’m Sleepy: Enjoy the game [Party] Yoo Chae: Hyung [Party] Yoo Chae: Wait a minute [Party] I’m Sleepy: ? Yoo Chae, who called me urgently, hesitated, then he asked cautiously. [Party] Yoo Chae: you see.. [Party] Yoo Chae: Hyung, last time [Party] Yoo Chae: You asked for my number [Party] I’m Sleepy: ? [Party] Yoo Chae: Can I say that now? [Party] I’m Sleepy: What? Seriously embarrassed, I couldn’t hide my surprise and hurriedly chatted. [Party] I’m Sleepy: You’ll give your number? [Party] I’m Sleepy: Now? [Party] Yoo Chae: Yes [Party] Yoo Chae: No? [Party] Yoo Chae: Is it too late?ㅜㅡㅜ [Party] I’m Sleepy: Are you really going to give it to me? [Party] I’m Sleepy: Your phone number? [Party] Yoo Chae: ㅇ.ㅇ? [Party] Yoo Chae: Is that not good enough? [Party] Yoo Chae: No?ㅜ.ㅜ [Party] I’m Sleepy: that’s not it My hand on the keyboard froze. Are you going to give me your cell phone number? Then what is Chae Yoo-jung’s number that I got? Confusion filled my mind. Chae Yoo-jung and Yoo Chae. These two really. ‘Aren’t they the same person?’ *** “How are you?” “Hm……” Before the afternoon classes started, I visited the campus cafe with Kim Dae-seok during my spare time and told them about what I had experienced on Saturday. I wondered if I could explain it because it was an inconclusive problem, but I couldn’t figure it out by myself. I wondered if I could explain it because it was an inconclusive matter, but I couldn’t confidently judge the situation objectively by myself. Kim Dae-seok, who listened to me while drinking an iced chocolate drink, opened his mouth with a blank face. “It looks like he’s someone else?” “What? why?” “Why? He said that when he was at the wedding, he played a game with the Early Evening Guild.” “Maybe he asked for someone else to do it instead.” “Do you run raids, participate in events, and find scroll positions with just one request? It’s not a favor, it’s the level of being hired for money.” “That’s······ “ “The phone number is also different.” “You can make two numbers.” In response to my rebuttal, Kim Dae-seok showed a calm expression. “Hey, if he’s gonna deceive you with that much effort, just fall for it.” “What are you taking about?” “The effort is unrealistic. You’re suspicious because his real name and username are similar, and even the voice is similar, but honestly, the username Yoo Chae is very common in any game. It’s a popular username. He has a male voice, and so do a lot of people.” “They are the same age.” “Man, playing games at the age of 23 is widespread.” “It’s still not a problem that can be concluded so easily.” Feeling stuffy, I gulped down an iced Americano without a straw. Kim Dae-seok, who had been sitting across from him and scratching his forehead, leaned back in his chair. “Honestly, if I had gone through your situation as it was, I would have been confused and doubtful... But since the opponent is a professional player in Hero, how come he doesn’t have a sense of reality? If you’re a pro player, wouldn’t you have no spare time to play other games?” “......” “What, you can see Hero’s record on a separate website. Take a look at that.” “I already looked at it.” Chae Yoo-jung has been steadily playing since I quit Hero. Even though he’s taking a break after last year’s World Championship, it’s natural that he’s still a professional player. Above all, professional players practiced through private games [2] against other teams, usually called scrim [1], so the site records weren’t conclusive. I turned on the messenger on my cell phone. Chae Yoo-jung and Yoo Chae were listed side by side in the list of newly added friends. [Yoochae: Hyung-hyung] [Yoochae: Eat this] [Yoochae: If you’re sick... (Emoji)] [Yoochae sent a gifticon.] [Yoo Ji-han: ?] [Yoo Ji-han: No need to give] [Yoo Ji-han: nor will I eat] [Gifticon declined.] [Yoochae: ㅠㅠㅠ ㅠㅠㅠ] It was a message that arrived as soon as I turned off the game yesterday. I was dumbfounded when I saw the porridge gifticon that flew along with this emoticon of a brown puppy crying. Even if I saved his cell phone number, what eventually appeared on the messenger was not his real name, but the same nickname as the game. He probably doesn’t want to give out more than his cell phone number. “If you’re that frustrated, why don’t you meet Chae Yoo-jung one more time? It seems easier to attack that side than the other.” When I looked at the screen of my phone and made a complicated expression, Kim Dae-seok seemed a bit worried and gave me additional advice. Nodding bitterly, I put my phone in my pocket. “I’ll do that.” —---- Author’s Note: [1] Scrim: Scrim, short for scrimmage, which means practice game.

80. Amber closed her eyes tightly. They had been together since she took over the Control Room. The affection accumulated during their time together was invaluable to her, who had no family. They were not mere subordinates. If Bacardi did what he wanted, the people here might be able to preserve their lives for a while. But what about the people outside? What about citizens who would die innocently? Standing at a crossroads, Amber was suffering, but she heard a familiar voice. “Amber! We're fine!" “Make the right choice!” "Amber wasn't wrong!" That voice calmed Amber's trembling heart. “Bacardi. I’ll not listen to you.” Bacardi's face twisted at Amber's words. “Haha, do you think everyone has multiple lives?” "No. Life is equal for all.” “But why? Because I could kill you?” Bacardi pulled out one of the youngest-looking women and grabbed her by the neck and lifted her up. “Keuk!” The woman struggled in pain as she scratched Bacardi's hand. "Lisa!" “Stop it right now!” Others tried to pounce on Bacardi, but to no avail. With just the swing of his other hand, They were pushed out and into the corner of the road just by the swing of his other hand Lisa, who had been looking at him, stopped her struggle and looked at Amber. And the moment she looked into those eyes, she realized. Lisa had now given up her life. For the sake of Amber, for the sake of the other citizens she didn't even know. She resolved to face death quietly. Amber gasped in agony as if her heart was being ripped apart. 'It's all because I'm lacking…’ If only she had been a little stronger, at least strong enough to buy them time to escape. Even though Lisa's breathing was quieting down, she resented her own weakness for not being able to do anything. "Sorry." All she could do was apologize. 【It’s okay.】 She heard Lisa's voice in her head. She was also an Awakened. Among them, she was able to use telepathy in the same line as Amber. 【You did your best, Amber.】 Best. When she heard that, she felt like she was struck by lightning. Did she really do her best? No, no. Under the pretext of serving the citizens, she surrendered without even fighting Bacardi. She was the only one who could operate the program better than anyone here. It wasn't a reasonable choice or the best. That was why she wanted to do her best even now. For the first time in her life, Amber attacked others with her mental abilities. The target was Bacardi. “Hahaha, what is this? It's not ticklish at all!” After abandoning Lisa, Bacardi turned his attention to Amber. However, Amber did not stop attacking even when the veins in her eyes popped out and her nose bled. “I thought you were smart, but you’re dumber than I thought.” Despite the attack, Bacardi calmly approached Amber and held out his hand. And just as the large palm reached her, something jumped through the open door and Bacardi was slammed to the floor. Ku-kung. What happened? Amber struggled to figure out the situation, wiping the blood that was dripping. "Are you okay?" There was someone here. It was a pretty Asian-looking young man. The young man left the overturned Bacardi and asked Amber if she was okay. "I’m okay. More than that, who are you?” Before Amber could finish her question, Bacardi rose from his seat and silently stood behind the young man and clenched his fists. "You’re back!" When he shouted in surprise, the young man smiled and turned around. Then, he met Bacardi's fist, which was attacking at high speed. 'It's useless!' Bacardi had more power than anyone else. To face him head-on? It was obvious what would happen next. The young man would fall to Bacardi. He was the one who came to help, but she couldn't leave him like that. As Amber tried to refocus herself to help somehow but something surprising happened. "Uh. Uh?" Bacardi's fist was blocked by the young man's palm. He was trembling and trying to punch out somehow, but he didn't budge. No, rather, he was pushed back. Then the young man raised his free hand and struck Bacardi. Even though the attack seemed light, it made a terrifying sound. Puk! It was a heavy sound, like hitting a leather bag full of water with a club. “Fuck.” Bacardi suddenly released his fist and backed away. But the young man did not let him go easily. He caught up with him and swung his leg, and Bacardi, who was hit by it, rolled on the floor like the first time. “Ji Hyeon-woo!” It was only when he heard Bacardi's angry voice that he recognized the young man's true identity. Tamer Ji Hyeon-woo from Korea. It seemed this was the true identity of the young man. 'But then the story is strange, right?' Ji Seon-woo's strength was widely known, but his Hyung, Ji Hyeon-woo's was not. He only knew how to deal with monsters, but she knew he was weak. It seems that it wasn’t true. “Why are you calling me, you crazy bastard?" A nasty sound came out of his pretty mouth. Then, he mercilessly slammed his legs at Bacardi, who was lying on the floor. Bacardi, who had dodged by rolling, tried to stand up, but was interrupted each time. “Come here.” Employees who had been watching in the corner were driven out of the room by other people who appeared before they knew it. All that was left was Bacardi, Ji Hyeon-woo, and Amber. “Come over here, you too.” Outside, another Asian man beckoned. But Amber couldn't back down easily. "Outside." Because there was still something left to say. “We have to fight outside! There are a lot of electronic gadgets here!" As soon as Amber said that, Ji Hyeon-woo grabbed Bacardi's hair, broke the wall, and disappeared. Then she heard the sound of breaking windows and followed, but no one was seen. It seemed that he had dragged Bacardi out of the window and jumped down. Then, two tall-looking men appeared and calmly jumped down the building. They seemed to be following Ji Hyeon-woo. “How did this happen?” As he was staring blankly at the open window, the man who first gestured to Amber approached. “Should I kill him? Or is it better to save him?" The opponent was Bacardi. It was so easy to ask people to decide whether they want to live or die. "Quick, quick. I will kill you before that.” He grabbed the wall and looked down to see Bacardi being beaten with excitement at those words. It was refreshing to see how badly he beat him. Bacardi didn't like that, though. “Fuuuuck!” Bacardi uttered a swear word. "It's probably better to save him. There's a lot of information you need to know." "Okay. Hyeon-woo! We need to keep him alive!" The man next to him groaned and stepped back. "I’m not going to kill you anymore." "Yes." Her head was blank. What the hell happened? Amber squeezed her forehead and bit her lips. And she found another familiar face. It was Ji Seon-woo, a figure that appeared occasionally in American news. "Thank you for your help." Amber bowed deeply first. "It’s nothing. I just did what I had to do.” The man answered calmly. He didn't look like that on the outside, but he seemed to be a righteous man. “Amber-nim!” Then she met John. John explained to Amber what had happened. After hearing all of that, her head was dizzy. She guessed from looking at Bacardi, but the Phoenix Guild turned its back on humanity. It wasn't usually serious. “Thank you for the information.” Amber hurriedly returned to the Control room and started manipulating the equipment. She had to tell others about this news quickly. “This is the Control Room from the Headquarters. An alert is issued, delivering updated information. The Phoenix Guild has betrayed humanity.” With this, even those who were not in New York would now learn of the betrayal of the Phoenix Guild. After finishing the most urgent task, her body naturally lost its strength. But they must not fall down just yet. Because this was all just the beginning. Hyeon-woo silently crushed Bacardi. He broke his fingers and broke his arms. Fearing that he would run away, he picked up a weapon that was lying around and slammed his leg into the ground. He thought about just cutting it clean, but he gave up. He thought it wouldn't look good in the eyes of others – this wasn't the Demon Realm. "Hik. Why don't you just kill me?" Even as his body was slowly breaking down, Bacardi did not stop pushing. “That’s no good. You should live and suffer more.” “Can you give me more pain then?” Bacardi chuckled. Seeing that, it seemed unlikely that he would volunteer. Hyeon-woo spread out his palms and slapped him on the cheek. One, two, three. When the number of times exceeds dozens, then he became a little quieter. Originally, the body was strong and the regenerative power was great, so the taste of hitting was quite good. “I have a question for you.” Bacardi looked up at Hyeon-woo without answering. There was still a black flame burning in his eyes, and it seemed that his will was not broken. But it was only a matter of time for him, too. “Who is the demon that is currently here?” "I don't know." Not quite right yet. As he raised his hand again, Bacardi's body flinched. And as if he realized himself, he spat out abusive language again as if it was a habit. Violence was also effective against a madman who did not listen. When Hyeon-woo stepped back and wiped the blood off his hand, Do-jin, who was waiting by his side, ran and asked. "Isn't it tiring? If it's tiring, would you like to change with me?" "No. This is fine." When Hyeon-woo answered, Seon-woo quietly intervened. "Hyung, I'm good at hitting too." "It’s alright. I’ll stop here, too.” Bacardi was already in a state of becoming porridge. The regenerative power was being displayed, but the speed slowed down as if it had exceeded its limit.

79. Ash, who was suddenly left alone because of the two monsters that disappeared to nowhere, was easily captured. Then, after clearing up all the surrounding monsters, they felt more relaxed. “Ha, that’s a relief.” Sweeping his chest, John immediately picked up the walkie-talkie. The sudden appearance of demons was also a problem, but there was something more important than that. That Ash, a member of the Phoenix Guild, took their side. If this was his own deviation, it was fortunate, but if it was not the case, this was a big deal. It would mean the second largest guild in the United States, the Phoenix Guild, had betrayed humanity. The news had to be passed on to others as soon as possible. That was why he moved quickly, but no matter how much he called, there was no answer from the other side. He had an ominous feeling. “Are you not able to get a call?” Seon-woo asked John. "What? Yes. I don’t think I can. It seems to be jammed.” “Are there any other means of contact?” John said, tracing his memory. "Yes, there is. I don’t have one, but I gave out anti-jamming radios to some important people.” The problem was that these important people were scattered all over the United States, which was why there are only a few radios in New York. “Then do you know where the headquarters is?” "I know." In preparation for this to happen, the Guardian Guild trained its guild members in advance. Because of that, John knew the geography of New York quickly. "Would you be able to recognize it in the sky?" Hyeon-woo, who interrupted in the middle, pointed to Spotty and said. “I was just wondering if I had to walk there.” Spotty was much smaller than Two-eyed, but he could easily hold six adult males. “Why six? Are you going to bring him too?" When Ga-jun pointed at Ash, Hyeon-woo smiled and said coldly. “No, why treat the hostages kindly. Two-eyed needs to come too. And you’re hurt too. It’ll take some time to recover.” “Then what about him?” “Spotty can carry him with his feet.” The treatment was too much. However, because of the sins Ash committed, everyone agreed with that decision. “Then shall we go?” As soon as Hyeon-woo climbed onto the Spotty's back, Seon-woo quickly jumped first. However, Do-jin used a shadow and came up. As usual, he teleported through the shadows. “Han Do-jin-ssi.” “What is it? Ji Seon-woo-ssi.” Seon-woo gnashed his teeth, but given the situation, he couldn't fight anymore and gave up. As soon as all six of them got on board, Spotty immediately spread his wings and flew up. "Kwiiik!" At the place where Hyeon-woo left, a huge Red Boar appeared breathlessly. "You're slow." He urged the Red Boar as much as possible, but in the end he couldn't catch up with the one he wanted. He should have known the Red Boar was slow except when charging. “I have to change my mount.” However, since the surrounding area has already been cleared, there were no other monsters to be seen. If possible, he would like something that knew how to fly. Alberg licked his lips and regretted it. It looked like he would have to ride the Red Boar for a while. "Let's go." Alberg started the Red Boar again. "Hm?" Hyeon-woo, who was flying in the air, looked down with a strange feeling. However, all he could see were people dealing with monsters in the messy streets. 'Is it an illusion?' Hyeon-woo turned his head and looked in front of him. There were a few monsters flying in the sky, but most of them moved quickly because they saw Spotty and saved themselves. It wasn't that there weren't monsters attacking from time to time, but that was enough for the people on top to handle it. “We’ll be reaching the Headquarters soon!” John yelled. The headquarters was one of the buildings of the Guardian Guild in the center of the city. Usually, he would use a government building, but he could see the power of the Guardian Guild here. “Here it is!” Spotty carefully landed in the designated location. Although the surroundings were a mess, there were no open portals, no fighting people and no monsters. It seemed like it had already been sorted out. "Let’s go in." Ga-jun, who was riding on the tail of the spot, slid down first. Then, as John and Seon-woo got off in turn, Do-jin also hugged Hyeon-woo and got off. “I can get off alone.” Hyeon-woo expressed his dissatisfaction, but Do-jin only laughed. “But isn’t the atmosphere strange?” People should be busy in the middle of the day, but it’s strangely quiet. Upon entering, the lobby was a mess as if a storm had passed. And all the few people were down. "Yuri!" John, who was looking around the lobby with a stunned expression, suddenly ran to the fallen man. The woman with dark hair blinked her eyes slowly, and she looked at him. "John?" It was a faint, small voice that seemed like it would die at any moment. “What the hell is going on?” Every time Yuri shook her body a little, blood spurted out of her mouth and soaked her clothes. "Phoenix… The Phoenix Guild betrayed.” Even in such a situation, Yuri squeezed her voice and conveyed the situation. "Hey, don't tell me!" John stopped her, but she didn't stop talking. "Bacardi, he's raiding here, ugh." Red blood leaked out again. The law of emergency measures for injured people was basically taught at the guild, but when a colleague looked like this, his body became stiff. "Phew." Ga-jun, who had been watching, stepped forward and began to examine Yuri's condition. With her leg broken, she was hit hard in the stomach. Because of that, the internal organs were damaged. “You need a hospital or a healer. It can't be solved here.” She tried pouring the potion she had, but she lost too much of her blood. Yuri was dying. Still, she explained the whole situation to the end. “Not yet, here. Other people should also be informed. One radio is in the control room.” “Stop, stop talking!” Yuri's eyes, who had been talking about the situation with blank eyes the whole time, twinkled. “For justice.” Tears welled up from John's eyes when he heard that. The Guardian Guild was created by gathering people who wanted to protect justice. And Yuri also wanted to be one of those people. “Yuri, you are just.” She protected the weak and did not bend even in front of the strong and stood for what was just. "Thank you." For the first time, the voice that seemed to be cut off came out clearly. Then, the sound of her breathing slowed down, and her eyes slowly closed. That was the end of Yuri. “Yuri, Yuri!” When her name was called, Yuri didn't open her eyes anymore. “She’s dead.” When he told him this reality, John clenched his teeth. “Let's go up. If her words are right, the culprit will still be in there. " "Yes." John laid Yuri straight and followed them. The elevator was broken and they had to walk directly. Immediately upstairs, the lobby and state were not very different. Some seemed to have fought Bacardi, but to no avail. “Seventh floor. There will be a Control Room there.” The more he climbed the floor, the more his anger increased. “Are you even human!” John vented his anger. “I feel bad.” Ga-jun scratched his head and said. He had seen people die countless times, but he had never gotten used to it. "I agree." Hyeon-woo also agreed with Ga-jun's words. Bacardi wasn't just killing people. He played with those who could no longer move. Strength entered his clenched fists. “Hyeon-woo-ya.” Do-jin was worried about Hyeon-woo. He didn't want to show this to Hyeon-woo. He always wanted to show him only the good things. But he couldn't stop Hyeon-woo from being so angry. Do-jin made a bitter expression at the fact. It was the same with Seon-woo. He continued to look at Hyeon-woo's condition restlessly. “Hyung, are you okay?” "Unn." He had already asked the same question over ten times, but Hyeon-woo calmly answered. Because he knew the heart of his younger brother who was worried about him. *** Bacardi looked at the screens that illuminated various parts of the city. The reflections were all so horrifying that it was as if they were looking at the end of the world. "Hehehe." That was good. Now even the foolish people who wanted to keep the Awakened tied up might realize something. The helplessness of not being able to do anything in this situation and the power of the strong. “I mean, I don’t understand. Why should the Awakened have to protect worm-like humans without any powers while lowering themselves?" Bacardi said, looking at the woman sitting directly in front of him. Her name was Amber. She was the head of the Control Room. Although she was an Awakened, her related ability is telepathy. Her other powers were weak, as she specialized in speaking to others. Because of that, she was easily subdued. “If you don’t know that, you are no different from a monster.” Amber replied in a cold voice. "Monster. I’m a monster.” Bacardi chuckled and pressed his face closer to Amber. “Okay, let’s try being a monster, well.” It was good to see the distorted face, as if disgusted. It was all the more so because Amber was usually well-groomed. “Come on, Amber.” "Don't call me by name." “From now on, do as I tell you.” “I don’t want to.” “Then shall your precious people die?” Bacardi pointed to the other employees he had gathered in a corner.

63. It was only then that I realized the identity of the sense of incongruity I had been feeling from earlier. A familiar voice, the way he treats me, and the name Chae Yoo-jung. I’ve already been through a similar situation. That was when Yoo Chae approached me as ‘Cotton Candy Fox’ in Zenoris. ‘Fuck, don’t tell me...……..?’ However, isn’t the scale too different from just bringing in that sub-account compared to this situation? The guy I met by chance in an online game turned out to be the culprit that made me quit the game that I last played, and that he was a popular professional player? If anyone writes a novel like this, they’ll be criticized. In an instant, things got complicated in my head. My sense of reality was so off that I couldn’t figure out whether my suspicions were correct, or I was just delusional. “The kids are begging us to go out to eat, so let’s go together. Did you get your meal ticket?” “Wa-wait a minute.” I couldn’t come to a conclusion, so I had no choice but to interrupt the conversation between Chae Yoo-jung and the coach. As I hurriedly grabbed Chae Yoo-jung’s wrist and stood there, he looked at me with a surprised face. “That, Chae Yoo-jung... decided to eat with me.” “Yes? Is that so?” After hearing my words, the coach looked at me with a look of surprise. “You look familiar. Have we ever met before?” “I’m a close younger brother to Seo Tae-young. My name is Yoo Ji-han.” “Could you tell me your username in Hero? “I’m Sleepy.” There are a lot of game nicknames coming out these days. After hearing my answer, the coach was delighted and offered to shake my hand. “Ah, I’m Sleepy! Aigo, sorry. It’s because I memorize Hero’s nickname better than people’s names. Nice to meet you. Are you a jungler?” “I am also pleased to meet you.” “I remember hearing that username.” Tae-young boasted several times that he is a good jungler. “My username is ‘European Venice’. We chatted the other day, do you remember?” “Of course I remember.” The coach who shook my hand took out a business card from his suit pocket and held it out. On the white business card, written neatly on it was the name of the LVS team head coach Yoo Gyeong-seok. “It’s surprising that you and Yoo-jung know each other. Hey Yoo-jung, are you going to have dinner with him?” Chae Yoo-jung, who was blank while I still held his arm, nodded quickly. “Un. I want to eat with this person.” “Yes, yes. Be polite. I’ll be going then.” Yoo Gyeong-seok, who entrusted Chae Yoo-jung to me, quickly left. He walked away merrily without any regrets, as if he were passing on a troublesome problem to another. “...After that, let’s go.” It was too hectic to have a conversation here. Concerned that Chae Yoo-jung might run away, I took the lead while holding his wrist tightly, and he quietly followed. Arriving at the buffet inside the wedding hall, I roughly placed random food on two plates and sat down with Chae Yoo-jung in the farthest corner. Chae Yoo-jung sat across from me and looked at me. The bright eyes of Chae Yoo-jung, who was sitting across from me and looking at me, shone. “Cough-, Chae Yoo-jung.” “Yes.” “That’s……..” I was about to ask if he was who I thought he was in Zenoris, but I hesitated for a moment. Wait a minute, can I even say this out loud? The fact that Chae Yoo-jung, who was sitting in front of me, was Yoo Chae from Zenoris was only in my thoughts. I mean… I know that there is no exact evidence to prove that the guy in front of me is Yoo Chae. In such a situation, there was a high possibility that I would be accused of being a strange person if I just recklessly asked him that. Above all, if I thought of asking, ‘Are you Yoo Chae?’ and if Chae Yoo-jung would answer, ‘No. Who is Yoo Chae?’, what then? Chae Yoo-jung looked at me with a puzzled expression on his face since I couldn’t finish my sentence. “It’s nothing.” “It’s okay if you speak comfortably.” “Actually, I was going to ask your age.” [1] Now that this has happened, there is no choice but to slowly gather evidence. Chae Yoo-jung smiled brightly when I asked, while casually holding his chopsticks. “I’m 23!” “...23 years old?” “Yes. How about Yoo Ji-han?” Is this really just a coincidence or have I gone crazy? I answered with a forced smile. “I am 24 years old.” “Can I call you Hyung?” “Do as you please.” Anyway, even now, you are doing as much as you want. At this point, I don’t know if this bastard is trying to be seen through. Shouldn’t you at least have said your age in the game and your real age differently? After the meal, when I left the wedding hall, Chae Yoo-jung followed me and called me with a flushed face. “Yoo Ji-han-hyung.” “What?” “You can let go about that.” “No, I don’t want to.” Chae Yoo-jung, who was hesitant while noticing my casual attitude, carefully held out his cell phone. “Give me your number.” “......” The brow furrowed involuntarily. Swallowing down the swear words that rose to the top of my throat, I grabbed the cell phone in his hand and dialed my number. My mood was rapidly declining. It’s not yet certain that Yoo-jung Chae is indeed Yoo Chae, so I shouldn’t show off like this, but it wasn’t as easy as I thought. “Can I contact you?” “I don’t mind.” Since I didn’t know anything other than his age, I needed to keep in touch at least. Chae Yoo-jung, holding the cell phone with my number stored on it with both hands, opened his mouth in a happy voice. “Yes, yes. I’ll be sure to contact you.” I felt a little sorry for my annoyed behavior that I didn’t hide at all. Embarrassed, I rubbed the nape of my neck and sighed. “I don’t know your number, so leave a message or call.” “Okay, I will make sure of that.” Leaving Chae Yoo-jung behind, I walked ahead and caught a taxi when he was out of sight. “Please go to Korea National University Station.” I have to arrive home first before Chae Yoo-jung and connect to Zenoris. I took a taxi, so I should be able to get home in at least 40 minutes. I told Yoo Chae last week that it would take about an hour to get to the wedding, so if I get in earlier than that, I might be able to catch him by the tail. Fortunately, even though it was a weekend, the roads were not too clogged, so I was able to return home early as expected. I left the washing behind and turned on the computer first. When I checked the time while waiting for my account to login into Zenoris, 45 minutes had passed since I left the wedding hall. I wish I had come sooner, but I can’t help it. Welcome to Zenoris. The Hangeul Day event is in progress. [Guild] Drink some water: Sleepy hi~ [Guild] Park Seungjin99: hi hi hi [Guild] Mocha Bread: Sleepy-nim Hi [Guild] TheHunter: hi2 [Guild] Bright Clouds: Oh sleepy-nim [Guild] Bright Clouds: Are you there for the event? [Guild] Harn: Hi~ [Guild] Yoo Chae: Hyungr!! [Guild] Yoo Chae: You’re here [Guild] Yoo Chae: I’ve been waiting for u ㅠㅅㅠ [Guild] Manaolingnam: Ah, is it starting again? [Guild] Drink some water: Since u two married, just use the friend chat [Guild] Crazy Hunting Friend: I agree “What.” Contrary to my expectations, Yoo Chae entered the game before me. Embarrassed, I hurriedly came up with another hypothesis. Could it be that the distance between Chae Yoo-jung’s house and the wedding hall is closer than mine? Or went to a nearby internet cafe. To be honest, there were many ways to access the game itself. I touched my mouth for a while and rolled my head, then hit the keyboard. [Guild] I’m Sleepy: hi hi [Guild] Yoo Chae: You came very early? [Guild] I’m Sleepy: yeah Came as soon as it’s over First of all, I pretended nothing was wrong, sent a chat, opened the guild list window, and sent a private message to Harn. [I’m Sleepy: Harn-ssi] [Harn: What?ㅇㅅㅇ] Water seemed to have a personal relationship with Yoo Chae, so I passed her and picked the most accepting, who’s none other than Harn. He was a user who always played Zenoris for a long time from early morning until late at night on weekends. [I’m Sleepy: perhaps] [I’m Sleepy: can you tell me when did Yoo Chae start playing this game today?] [Harn: En, About Gilma-nim?] Harn, who was confused by the somewhat sudden question, answered immediately. [Harn: 11 o’clock? 12 o’clock? You came in around that time.] [I’m Sleepy: did he do anything else after turning it on?] [Harn: Um] [Harn: I heard he did a field raid earlier] [Harn: I think we had an event like that] [I’m Sleepy: what time was that?] [Harn: 2 o’clock..] [Harn: The appearance of the red dragon is at 2:10, so it must be right around that time.] ‘You did a raid at 2:10?’ It was around 12:30 when I arrived at the wedding, and it was around 12:50 when I met Chae Yoo-jung for the first time. And the wedding started at 1:00. 2 o’clock is the time when the wedding is over, and we move to the buffet. But how can he participate in a Dragon raid at that time? ‘Is it possible that someone else played Yoo Chae’s account?’ In order for Chae Yoo-jung to avoid suspicion from me, he may have asked someone else to play his account. I asked Harn. [I’m Sleepy: when catching a dragon] [I’m Sleepy: Did he have someone with him?] [Harn: I don’t know that much.] [Harn: Since Hunter or Crazy Hunting Friend went to the raid often, it would be better to ask them there.] [I’m Sleepy: oh] [I’m Sleepy: tk tk] [I’m Sleepy: please keep it a secret that I asked u this] [Harn: ㅋㅋㅋㅋyep] I couldn’t find any clues. With my fingers pressed on my forehead, I was thinking about whether I should send a message to TheHunter or Crazy Hunting Friend, but Yoo Chae started talking to me. [Yoo Chae: Hyung Hyung] [Yoo Chae: Are you going to look for the scroll?] [Yoo Chae: I know the location!] —--- [1] “I was actually going to ask how old you are.” This is a more appropriate sentence if translated, but the Koreans technically ask for the age to speak comfortably or politely. If so, the sentence would be impolite in terms of saying that.

62. The hotel where the wedding was held was much bigger than I thought, and the facilities were good. Seo Tae-young said he had a hard time finding and getting the venue. When I logged on the Guest book and went to deliver the congratulatory money, Seo Tae-young found me and approached me just in time. “Hey, Ji-han. How long has it been since I last saw you?" Alongside with the bride, as the groom of the day, Seo Tae-young wore his tuxedo with his bangs neatly brushed back. I held Seo Tae-young's outstretched hand and smiled slightly. “It’s been almost a year. You look really great today.” “It feels good to hear you say that. Wasn't it inconvenient to come?" “It was good because it was close to the station. Aren't you nervous?" “I feel like dying right now. I was thinking of taking Cheongsim pill, but I can't decide because they said I might get sleepy if I take it on the wrong timing.” “What medicine? Just hang on.” When I deliberately answered as if joking around, Seo Tae-young lightly slapped my arm with his smiling face. “Thank you for coming despite being busy.” “Of course I should come. Congratulations on the wedding." "Okay. If you get hungry in between, go and eat. Don’t be self-conscious and just go.” Seo Tae-young winked at me, avoiding the eyes of the adults around him, and moved to greet others. Since I still had about 30 minutes to spare before his wedding started, I moved on so that I could look inside too. Seo Tae-young was one of the few pro gamer acquaintances I was close with from when I was 18 until now, six years later. Six years ago, I was in the state of going back and forth between diamond and master rankings, and Seo Tae-young was a rookie gamer who had just debuted as a pro. Even back then, the number of users in the heavenly tier was so small that they often met as the same team. After playing the game several times and working together, I naturally added friends, and occasionally chatted through messengers to keep in touch. Then, when I participated in an offline competition at the age of 19, I actually met him for the first time. The organizer of the off-line competition held at that time was Kim Se-hun, a first-generation pro gamer, and the team he belonged to when he was a pro was LVS. That's why Seo Tae-young, a junior on the same team and a mid laner player like Kim Se-hun, came to the competition to cheer and promote. 'Time flies so fast.' Seo Tae-young, whom I met like that, has already been retired for over a year and is even getting married now. Due to the nature of e-sports, which usually debut young and retired around the age of 20, he debuted at a rather late age, so he could not continue his career as a player for long. Still, he has been a recognized player who has been consistently active as a mid laner in the LVS team that has swept the competition every time since its founding. ‘And Gamgack is also a member of the LVS team.” You said he was coming to this wedding too? I've worked with Seo Tae-young for 2 years, so of course he will come. He was a stranger who I know nothing about except for his face and nickname, but I couldn't help being nervous. It was such a big blow to me that I had to give up the game I've been working hard on for years. Let's stay quiet and leave around halfway through the ceremony. I wandered the hallways looking for a nook where people weren't congregating. “I can’t believe that Tae-young Hyung is getting married.” “It’s also the first wedding I'll be attending.” “Please don’t make any trouble, stay calm and let’s go, huh?” “Coach! When can I eat?" I could hear people talking nearby. Among them, the face of the one called Coach was familiar. He was the man Seo Tae-young had previously informed that he was the coach of the LVS team. Then, all the people over there are LVS team players or officials. 'I just need to avoid that side.' I don't know if Gamgack is still on the LVS team or not, but I'm sure he's hanging out with people he knows anyway. I turned my back and walked to the other side, pressing my brow with force. I came to my Hyung's wedding and I don't know what I’m doing. It's true that I don't want to meet him, that I'm trying to avoid it this far, so it's only right that I'm being hit. Gamgack wouldn't even know who I was. At that moment, when I thought about the whole thing, I couldn't help but sigh. I inadvertently turned my gaze to the side when I heard a low and soft voice, finding an unexpected opponent that shook my shoulders. Tall, with light-colored hair that shines brightly in the lighting, and ears that glow brightly unlike his white skin. "Hello. Well, I'm..." He hesitated, unable to make eye contact with me as if embarrassed, but soon opened his mouth. “Gamgack…. Seo Tae-young is on the same team as me, do you know?” 'Crazy.' After hearing the explanation that followed, I couldn't hide my bewilderment at this unrealistic situation. 'Why are you talking to me?' Looking at his face, the man standing in front of me clearly had the vibe that I had seen him before in an internet article a while ago. No, why is Gamgack talking to me? How do you even know me? No matter how hard I tried to understand, I just couldn't understand it. “Ah, yes. I know...……….” I hurriedly looked around. But there was no one but me in the corner hallway. Gamgack, who heard my answer, took a step closer to me with a wide smile as if he was happy. On the contrary, I took a step back. “You know. I wanted to meet you before.” “Me?" "Yes." The long eyelashes fluttered, closing and opening his eyes several times before he continued. “I’m sleepy, right? You played a lot of games with me. And I also heard a lot about you from Tae-young hyung……” “......” Hearing my game nickname from the mouth of Gamgack feels a bit weird. Creepy goosebumps ran up my spine. 'But why is his voice so familiar?' I've seen the behind-the-scenes videos and tournament interviews uploaded by the LVS team once or twice, but this would be the first time I've actually heard their actual voices. Strangely, the voice of Gamgack seemed familiar. I was confused and did not know how to react, and as I stood there, a voice announced that the wedding would soon begin. - This is an announcement to the distinguished guests. The ceremony starts in 10 minutes, so please enter in advance to ensure smooth progress. “Haha, I see. Nice to meet you. Then I’ll be going then.” Nice timing. With the excuse of having to go to the ceremony, I quickly ended the conversation and turned my back on him. “I-I have to go in too………….” But Gamgack chased after me, babbling unanswered words like talking to himself. Ah, I’m really about to go crazy. *** The wedding went smoothly without any problems. Standing at the very back, I sparsely applauded and thought. “What’s wrong with him?” Gamgack stood close to me and kept glancing at me as if he had something to say. If you had something to say, it would be nice if you could do it quickly and leave, but as more and more people were looking at us, it was getting uncomfortable. 'What’s stopping you from saying it……? I can't. If I can go out and see a little more, I will go out without notice. I sighed with my arms crossed, but Gamgack, who had been standing quietly and hesitantly, spoke to me again. "Hey, I'm sleepy-nim." I'm bored to death. “Call me Yoo Ji-han.” “Ah, yes.” When I told him the name, Gamgack smiled shyly. “Yoo Ji-han... nim?” "Please speak." “I think the wedding is almost over… Are you going to eat?" Why are you wanting to ask such a thing? Do you want to eat with me? Sensing an ominous feeling, I hurriedly shook my head. "No." “Ah…” He put on an embarrassing face and drooped his eyebrows. Seeing that sullen appearance, my conscience hurt a little, thinking that I had rejected it too quickly, but I didn't want to change my words now. In this kind of atmosphere, I wondered if I could have a meal with a stranger whom I had never met before. It's even more of a problem because the other person looks uncomfortable with it. Just in time, applause rang out, announcing that the wedding was over. The officials at the ceremony opened the door that had been closed and removed the decorations to make it easier to move. Each of the guests got up and took pictures with the bride and groom or started to leave the ceremony hall. I'm going to go out at this moment. As I turned away from Gamgack to leave, someone suddenly appeared in front of me and blocked my way. "Chae Yoo-jung!" “.......?" The one who blocked me was the LVS team coach who I saw before the wedding. He ran straight my way, gave me a sympathetic look, and began to fire off rapid questions as if he was losing his senses. “Hey man, if you come, you should call to say you're here. Why didn't you answer the phone? Did you see the wedding?" "I saw it." Gamgack replied in a deep voice unlike when he was dealing with me. No, but wait. 'The name of the guy is Chae Yoo-jung?' Gamgack was a fairly popular player, but like other pro gamers, he was more known by his nickname than his real name. Although I enjoy playing games, I am not very interested in tournaments or players, so I just learned his name for the first time… If Gamgack's real name is Chae Yoo-jung...………. At that moment, something flashed in my mind like a thunderbolt. The impact stiffened my entire body. No way, no way. No way……………. --- Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor: Meimei Support on Kofi: Chapter 47, 48 MM: *SCREAMING INTO THE VOID* Lol at least we have Yoo Chae's real name now!

78. “I recognize you. You’re the girl that I saw back then? Are you also a resident of the Demon Realm?" "What is this?" After confirming that he was Hyeon-woo, Tiamat opened her mouth. “Why are you here?” No, it wasn't strange that Hyeon-woo was here. Because it was his hometown. More than that, Hyeon-woo would have only seen the dragon, but when did he see her? As he was tilting his head, Kai, who had returned to his human form, added an explanation. “Didn’t you see it when the fight happened last time?” “Did I not see it?” “At that time, you were only looking at other people who were fighting.” "Was I?" “Ya.” Tiamat wiped her blood-stained face, with her teeth exposed. “Then I should introduce myself." Tiamat, slightly bent on her knees, said as she gracefully spread one of her hands. "Greetings. My name’s Tiamat.” Hearing the greeting, Hyeon-woo scrunched his face up. “Poisonous.” Tiamat, the crazy dragon ranked 9th in the Demon Realm. It was said that being 9th in the ranks in the Demon Realm, crazy for fighting and blood, she had great strength. The stronger Hyeon-woo still would have beat her, but even so, her strength could not be underestimated. “I’m not. I’m not poisonous.” Although her main ability was poison, there were many other abilities she could use. “It’s poisonous to me. But what's going on between the demons and the scheming?" Everyone stopped fighting after Tiamat appeared. Therefore, she was able to hear Hyeon-woo's words clearly and properly. So, everyone looked at Tiamat with a firm expression. “Am I obliged to tell you that?” Tiamat answered, raising the corners of her mouth. “Well, you are under no obligation to answer.” Hyeon-woo let go of the scales on Two-eyed and jumped down. Seon-woo, frightened by the sight, tried to move his body, but it was too late. "Hyung!" Hyeon-woo easily landed on the floor to the extent that his shouts of concern were colorless. He looked back at Seon-woo who had called him and said with an awkward expression. “I’m sorry I lied to you, Seon-woo.” He wanted to be more lazy. He was tired of fighting. He wanted to live in peace, so he didn't talk about his power properly. “I know, I knew about it.” Seon-woo laughed bitterly at Hyeon-woo's apology. He stayed by his side the whole time, and there was no way he didn't know that he was hiding something. Even so, he didn't try to dig it out. He was afraid that if he tried to find out everything, his Hyung would leave him and hate him. There were many reasons. "Hyung. I don't care what kind of person you are. Just promise me that you will be by my side forever.” It was only then that Hyeon-woo relaxed his expression and smiled at him. "Well, it's not that difficult. I will always be by your side. Next to my lovely brother." For a while, the atmosphere warmed up. "Ack!" The one who ruined it was Tiamat, who scraped away the dried bloodstains with her hands. “I hate this atmosphere!” "Right. I had something left to do, right?" Hyeon-woo turned his gaze to look at Tiamat. The murderous intent in her shiny eyes stung her. Her body shuddered and she began to get goosebumps. However, she had no intention of giving up easily. 'Dragon Heart!' Because it was necessary. If she missed it now, she didn't know when she would get another chance. In the meantime, if Alberg, who came over to this place, started a game, everything would be ruined. That was why it was right to take the risk and attack now. 'It's not like the power is being pushed.' Except for Hyeon-woo. 'How long can I hold it out?' How many times had she had to worry like this in her life? It was shocking, but this was reality. “Tiamat-nim.” Tiamat ordered Kai first. “Kai, do your duty.” “I already used up a lot of energy.” “Can you still do it?” “Is there something I have to do?” "Yes." At that, Kai let out a sigh and returned to his original body. He then bit off his head, which was still poorly healed, with his head intact. Munch munch. Its huge mouth began to chew and swallow its bitten head. “Ugh!” Exhausted and spreadeagled on the floor, John made a grotesque noise. He didn't know how things were going. All he knew was that had to stop them somehow. “Wow! This is why I like monsters. It’s hot!" Ash giggled and dug out the heart of a nearby monster and grabbed hold of it. Then he squeezed the heart, still dripping with green blood, into his mouth. “A-are you crazy?” “Crazy, already really crazy.” Ash smiled at John's words and raised his hand again. “Is it the second round?” Ga-jun looked at Ash with a tired expression. "Let's make a final decision this time?" In such a situation, Do-jin, who had been staring at Hyeon-woo while standing quietly on the other side, opened his mouth. “It would be better if only one person fought here.” “I’ll go and help my Hyung.” “I think I’d be better off as an assistant.” “I’m also good at assisting.” Neither Seon-woo nor Do-jin seemed to have any intention of stepping down. The two began to seriously discuss who should go with Hyeon-woo. And Hyeon-woo, who was watching him, scratched his cheek with his finger. 'Actually, no one needs to help.’ You can even stick other monsters over there. But to tell the truth, it seemed exciting over there. 'Now!' Tiamat did not miss the opportunity. Inflating her body in her second, she immediately drew in her breath. From the beginning, she intended to breathe out and wipe out the weak. “What nonsense!” Using Kero as a stepping stone, Hyeon-woo jumped up and hit Tiamat's snout with his fist. Tiamat swallowed the breath again with the sound of punching a leather pouch. “Kek kek!” The breath filled with poison turned inside out. As the body had a strong poison resistance, it was not further injured; but it was painful. "Just die!" The poison rose in Tiamat's eyes. Making her body smaller again, she raised her long nails and rushed at Hyeon-woo. She was originally going to fight with her small body after she released her breath. Although the dragon's body was strong, the area of attack was wide. It would be better to shrink herself in a fight with a being faster and stronger than herself. In her second form, Tiamat closed her distance and took her leg down. It was an attack on Hyeon-woo, but there was someone else who stopped him. "Hyung?" Do-jin, who blocked Hyeon-woo's way, shook off his numbly ringing arm. He thought it wouldn't be easy, but he was stronger than he thought. But he said yes, so he didn't feel like stepping down. “I’ll assist.” Do-jin said so, and stood there. “Are you okay?” "Of course." Hyeon-woo nodded his head, stepped forward and rushed at Tiamat. As Do-jin blocked her magic and poison with his shadow, Hyeon-woo swung his fist. 'His body is a weapon!' Even if you block it, it hurts, and if you can't block it, it is the end. Tiamat gritted her teeth and moved desperately, but it seemed that she would not last long. At this rate, the outcome was obvious. “I wish I could at least get rid of that human.” Tiamat glared at Do-jin with an annoyed expression. At first, it was difficult to block it, but now it was interfering with the magic even before it was activated. It was growing during the middle of the fight. 'This is why I hate humans!' Despite being a weak being born with nothing, one sometimes becomes as strong as a dragon. 'Let's kill them before they become more proficient.' Tiamat changed the target of the attack to Do-jin instead of Hyeon-woo. Seeing that Hyeon-woo called him hyung, it seems like a close relationship, and if she killed him, he might be agitated. Tiamat, who blocked Hyeon-woo's attack with her body, threw herself at Do-jin for the first time. The claws that rose sharp like swords rushed towards Do-jin's vitals. Hyeon-woo was startled and tried to respond, but it was already too late. “I guess I looked too easy.” Do-jin quickly pulled out Kara and blocked Tiamat's attack. Although his body was pushed back by the ignorant force, the attack was somehow blocked. “Sheesh.” As soon as she confirmed that the attack was blocked, Tiamat flung herself backwards. just as expected. As soon as she dodged, Hyeon-woo's leg fell on the spot. 'This isn't what I thought.' Things were getting out of hand. Kerberos and Black Drake were fighting quite well. Because of that, Kai couldn't move. Then, she wondered what the other side was like, but that situation was also vague. Seon-woo, who was pushed by Do-jin, was pressuring Ash with Ga-jun. Angry Seon-woo was attacking more fiercely than usual, and because of that, Ash was covered in scars. He was running wild even in his wounded state, but it was clear that he was being pushed back. Besides, Harmonia, who was wounded, was nowhere to be seen. It seemed that he hid for a while while his nerves were focused on something else. Even if it was a guy who fell less, she couldn't find his location as if he had learned how to hide his magical power. 'There are no useful ones!' Tiamat felt the need to revise her plan. 【Let's retreat.】 She conveyed that intention to Kai. 'What about the other guy, he'll take care of it.' All non-Demons are consumables. Anyway, it was something he had to know. Even if one got captured, there won't be a big problem since one had a device for it. "Now!" Tiamat used her time-gathered magic to unleash her magic and pull herself behind her. Now, the next response is determined by whether Hyeon-woo followed her or stayed and blocked the magic. Fortunately, Hyeon-woo chose to block magic. “See you next time~!” She grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and jumped off. She heard something shouting behind her, but she neatly ignored it. They needed to be alive to do something about this.

61. “Then, that’s all for today’s lecture.” As soon as the lecture was over, My yawn came out as if it had waited for the class to end. My whole body felt sore after concentrating on the drawing for a long time with my upper body bent forward. “Hey, Yoo Ji-han.” Kim Dae-seok approached me while I stretched my arms out above, and sat down next to me, making the gesture of a hand drinking soju. “Aren’t there any more lectures? Do you want to go out for dinner and drinks?” “Again? You have really good stamina.” “Didn’t I ask you to drink first? Hae-seong asked me to go.” “So what’s the difference?” Just in time, Eun Hae-seong, who had packed his bag and walked to my seat, exclaimed energetically with a bright smile on his face. “Let’s go and drink!” Are there only people who are crazy about alcohol around me? I sighed and packed my bag. “No.” “Why! It’s Friday!” “That’s right. Do you think that if you don’t drink on a Friday, you’ll be taken away by the police?” “I have to go walk the dog. I haven’t played with him for five days already.” “A puppy? Do you have a dog?” “Hey, show me the picture.” “When did you start raising him?” “A while ago. There are no photos.” “What? Doesn’t any guy who raises dogs take pictures?” No pictures, no phone number either of him. I get mad just thinking about it again. Ignoring Kim Dae-seok’s words, I jumped up with my bag slung over one shoulder. “Anyway, I’m busy. Drink by yourselves.” “What, are you really not going to come with us? Yoo Ji-han!” I left the lecture room behind the panicked Kim Dae-seok’s cry. It was not unusual for my cell phone to vibrate all the time. ‘I knew it would be like this.’ I saw new messages piled up in the guild chat room. Even though I turned off the group chat room notification, the vibration came on, so it seems that Yoo chae called me again and caused a stir. [oo: @I’m sleepy] [oo: Hyung, is the lecture over?] [oo: You’re coming in today, right? ㅜㅜ] [oo: @I’m sleepy] [Drink some water: Hey, do it in moderation] [Harn: I told you to do it in personal chat] [I’m so Lazy: obsessed crazy guyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ] [Staric: This is a bit scary] [The Hunter: Aren’t you at work rn?] [The Hunter: so why r u here] [Staric: When you’re at work, you end up looking at a message] [Staric: and disappears after work] [The Hunter: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ ok;] [oo: @I’m sleepy] [oo: @I’m sleepy] [Mocha Bread: It’s crazy today] [Drink some water: Gilchat all day yesterday] [Drink some water: You said you want to play with Sleepy-nim today.] [Harn: Sleepy, didn’t you tell Gilma-nim your phone number now?] [Harn: I understand that you don’t like being asked, but it’s for the public interest] [Park Seung-jin99: You must have had his phone number] [Park Seung-jin99: How many messages will he send?] [Park Seung-jin99: Sleepy-nim, you’ll get neurosis at this rate] [Harn: I think I’m going to get it right now just watching this (nemoticon)] It’s not me who won’t give my cell phone number. I swallowed anything that would hurt my pride by bringing it up and gave a situation briefing instead. [I’m sleepy: the lecture just ended] [I’m sleepy: stop it] [oo: ㅇㅅㅇ!] [oo: When are you arriving home?] [Mocha bread: Thankfully] [Drink some water: Phew..] [Harn: I can’t even stop Gilma— —] [I’m sleepy: my house is close] [I’m sleepy: I have to wash and eat anyway] [00: Yes..TT] [The Hunter: Where’s Sleepy-nim now?] [I’m sleepy: near school] [Drink some water: Did you say ur architecture major?] [Drink some water: Is it too much to ask which university?] [I’m sleepy: ㅋㅋㅋ Korea] [Drink some water: Oh] [Harn: Gasp, Korea University?] [Park Seung-Kun: crazy What the heck..

[oo: Hyung] [oo: It’s dangerous to meet someone like that!! ㅜㅡㅜ] [I’m Sleepy: Oh yeah] [Drink some water: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ] [Harn: How are you two the same even after you get married?!] [I’m sleepy: Please put the game before marriage..] [Bright Clouds: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ] [The Hunter: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ] *** As I was busy with classes, assignments, and games, the time of one month passed without me noticing it. A week before Seo Tae-young’s wedding, I told my dog a sad fact in advance. [Party] I’m sleepy: I’ll come in late next Saturday [Party] Yoo Chae: Yes? [Party] I’m sleepy: I have to go to an acquaintance’s wedding [Party] Yoo Chae: Ah.. Yoo Chae, who was riding ahead on his horse, saw my chat and stopped. I was wandering around the map in search of one of Zenoris’ adventure quest items, the Warrior’s Scroll. Scrolls spread throughout the map were one of the trickiest items to collect, since they were hidden from being discovered and their location changed randomly every week. [Party] Yoo Chae: When will you come back?ㅠㅅㅠ [Party] I’m sleepy: I don’t know [Party] I’m sleepy: the wedding starts at 1 o’clock [Party] I’m sleepy: will you come by at 5 o’clock at the latest? [Party] Yoo Chae: Is the wedding far away? [Party] I’m sleepy: not far [Party] I’m sleepy: About an hour on the subway? [Party] I’m sleepy: I won’t watch it till the end and just leave when it’s right [Party] Yoo Chae: Um [Party] Yoo Chae: I don’t have any schedule [Party] Yoo Chae: I’ll just wait as usual [Party] I’m sleepy: go out and have some fun [Party] I’m sleepy: don’t you have any friends? It was Yoo Chae who played games with me every weekend. No matter if you’re unemployed, it’s worth going out because it’s the weekend, but how can you just play games like that? He seems to really like games. ‘Well, I’m not in a position to think like this either……’ Right now, even during the last vacation, I didn’t sleep and played Zenoris until I got to level 200. After that, I entered Early Evening guild... Thinking back to that point, it was surprising that he had become so close with Yoo Chae. [Party] Yoo Chae: Gasp hyung... [Party] Yoo Chae: What if I didn’t have real friends? [Party] I’m sleepy. what do you mean [Party] I’m sleepy: I’m going to be trash making fun of a friendless person [Party] Yoo Chae: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Party] Yoo Chae: It’s okay [Party] Yoo Chae: I like trash Hyung too [Party] Yoo Chae: You’re still hot ㅋㅋㅋ [Party] I’m sleepy: Aren’t you hot too [Party] Yoo Chae: What? [Party] Yoo Chae: You’ll regret saying that [Party] I’m sleepy: talking nonsense again [Party] Yoo Chae: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Yoo Chae, who laughed like he was okay with being sworn at, found the fifth scroll in the corner of the map at just the right time. [Party] Yoo Chae: it’s still only half-filled [Party] I’m sleepy: It’s hard There are a total of 10 scrolls to collect, and after searching for them since last week, I only filled half of them. It was too wasteful to pass without a quest that gave you everything from hard-to-find materials to additional ability points. [Party] Yoo Chae: It took a while for me too. [Party] Yoo Chae: The location changes every week, so it’s not something you can finish quickly [Party] I’m sleepy: yeah [Party] I’m sleepy: I have to go to the wedding next week [Party] I’m sleepy: it wouldn’t be over till next week If possible, I want to finish it before the midterm exams start. If I collect about 9 scrolls and start preparing for the midterm exam, I will die before the test, due to being careless and irritated. [Party] Yoo Chae: Then while you’re at the wedding [Party] Yoo Chae: Should I find out the location in advance? Hmm, I’m sure it could save me a lot of time if he figured out all the scroll locations in advance. [Party] I’m sleepy: You don’t have to overdo it [Party] Yoo Chae: It’s convenient to know [Party] Yoo Chae: Without hyung, I have nothing to do.. [Party] I’m sleepy: What are u talking abt? Come to think of it, I’m a newbie who started Zenoris only two months ago? It’s okay to get help with this. After accepting his consideration with my shameless heart, Yoo Chae revealed his cool and dark inner self. [Party] Yoo Chae: I have to do something like this for hyung to be nice to me [Party] I’m sleepy: Your senses are like that of a dogㅠㅅㅠ [Party] Yoo Chae: Phew... Married life is hard [Party] I’m sleepy: ㅋㅋ [Party] I’m sleepy: If u do something wrong, I’ll hit u [Party] Yoo Chae: ㅋㅋ [Party] Yoo Chae: Did you give me a kiss saying you did well? [Party] I’m sleepy: I’ll consider it if there’s such a function You really want to do something like that in the game. No, of course, even if it was real, I wouldn’t have kissed him. ‘I should go to the wedding sooner.’ Originally, I was going to stay and eat until the ceremony was over, but it would be better to just come out in the middle. I can’t just leave the assignment to the kid and come back after it’s fully filled. With my back leaning against the back of my chair, I sorted out my schedule for the next week in my head, then straightened up and started chatting. [Party] I’m sleepy: I’ll be back soon [Party] I’m sleepy: don’t make trouble and wait --- Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor: Meimei Support on Kofi Chapter 62, 63, 64 Chapter 65, 66, 67, 68 MM: Ah yes, the Design classes *war flashbacks* HM: Speaking of which, I wonder what MC wanted to become by taking the Architecture degree.

77. Krrrrrk. Her chest, which was covered with hard bones, swelled up. Then, when the breath she had held in deep was filled up, Tiamat let it out without hesitation. Everything that was in the way of the green breath instantly melted from the poison potency. It looked like it could melt another relatively small white arm. 'Never mind.’ Of course, everything was just an illusion. The owner of the white arm was a demon who was extremely strong, so he should be able to deal with this level easily. And that thought was not wrong. The breath disappeared without a trace the moment it touched the slowly moving white arm. At the same time, pain surged through her body as she forced out her breath. “Kuk!” Tiamat let out a groan and rushed forward. If she couldn't do it with her breath, she was thinking of erasing the magic circle by crushing it with her body. "Get lost!" Thud thud! As the massive body charged, the half-melted buildings around it shook terribly. 'Little bit more!' It seemed that if she moved forward a little further, she would be able to erase the magic circle and close the portal. Tiamat gritted her teeth. However, the moment the white hand moved slowly again, her memory was cut off for a moment. "Ugh, Ugh” Tiamat sighed. What happened? She thought she was attacked at the end, but she didn't know what happened after that. She barely lifted her strangely heavy head and looked at her portal. "Uh?" The portal was already closed, and the owner of the white hand was not there. All that remained were human corpses and the remains of buildings that had been horribly melted down. Tiamat decided to reduce her body size again. Transformed into her human form, she rose from her seat and saw the blood dripping from her nose. When she woke up, her head was ringing. It seemed that there were many unattached body parts around. “So, what happened?” Was the summoning successful or unsuccessful? That was more important than the wounds on the body. "Damnit!" No, he was the one who made her do this. Even if other demons didn't know, the owner of the white arm, Alberg, the number 1 in the Demon Realm, must not come over to this world! Even in a world where only strong monsters existed, most of whom have gone mad, he is an out-of-standard monster. 'If such a monster crosses over to Earth, those who have been quiet until now will also move.” That made things complicated. It would no longer be a matter between Earth and the Demon Realm. The Celestial Realm could move, and in addition, the fairies responsible for the balance of the world could also move. "Aah, I'm going crazy!" And that was not all. Tiamat knew that Alberg cared only for one human who had fallen into the Demon Realm. It would be difficult if he sided with humans. The pendulum of force would be tilted. “What to do? What to do!” Tiamat pulled out her hair. Think, figure out what to do first! “For now, find Alberg.” Then send him back “How can I send him back?” This was a demon that required a lot of mana to call once. Besides, even the materials that went into this magic circle were staggering. She also heard that it would be difficult to get it back right away. "Wait for a sec." Tiamat put her hand on her chest. Inside, there was a dragon heart, a mana crystal that only existed in dragons. If you have one Dragon Heart, the other required materials are drastically reduced. Originally there were no dragons in the middle world, but now it was different. "Isn't there a guy who's not good enough?" A stupid dragon clinging to humans. “What was your name? Was it Harmonia?” Alright, she would pull out that dragon's dragon heart. And find Alberg and return him as quickly as possible. That was it. Tiamat focused her mind to find Kai's location. Maybe Kai was still dealing with him. “Ugh!” Her physical condition was messed up, but this much could be solved by using magic. She was weak in healing magic, but if she roughly patched up the parts needed to move, then she could manage it. Tiamat jumped up from her seat with her bare feet. She stepped on the almost collapsed building and jumped out of the place, and she immediately started running quickly. She felt pain every time she ran, but she ignored it. Fortunately, the place where Kai was fighting was not that far away. *** In the sky, flying monsters attacked buildings, while the ground was swarmed with monsters trampleing people. Even though Awakened people from other countries were mobilized to save even a little more people, it was impossible to cover the entire huge city. "Save me, save me!" People ran away screaming and begging for help to survive. Some people desperately raised their guns, but it didn't work against monsters. A fighter plane fell from the sky and exploded. It was mayhem. A handsome boy with a strange atmosphere was walking between them. "Haa." The boy spread his arms and inhaled deeply. Acrid air stung the tip of his nose. It was a feeling that was not very different from the air of the Demon Realm he knew. “Yes, this is Hyeon-woo’s hometown.” Purple eyes looked around. Hyeon-woo said he always wanted to return to his hometown. It was a peaceful place, he said, so one didn't have to fight every day like in the Demon Realm, and one could eat delicious food. He even promised himself that he would spend more than half of the day sleeping, engaging in endless laziness as long as he wanted. “But doesn't it look very different from the Demon Realm?” 'Boy,' said Alberg, rubbing his chin with his hand. If a place like this was his hometown, wouldn't it be okay to not go to the Demon Realm? He thought so and moved his steps, but a monster that was rampaging like crazy found him. Red Boar. A huge monster resembling a boar with stiff red fur. The monster looked at Arlberg and let out his snort. Scratching the ground with its forefeet suggested that it was about to charge at any moment. “Run away!” He heard someone's cry, and at the same time Red Boar rushed at Alberg. But just as he was about to ram his head into it, a chilling fear enveloped Red Boar. If he got hit, he would die. Realizing that, Red Boar turned and smashed his head into the building. "It's annoying to walk, but that's fine." Alberg laid his finger on Red Boar, who was trembling with his head slammed into the wall of a building. “Kki, kkwiik.” Red Boar, the size of a truck, meekly approached Alberg and bowed his head. All of her hair, which was normally stiff, was lying down. Alberg stepped on Red Boar's head and sat down on his back. As soon as he settled down, Red Boar with his head raised began to walk cautiously. “Uh, Uh?” People around him doubted their eyes, but what they saw did not change. “Are you a tamer?” "So you're saying that you're Awakened? Then you can catch them!" A few frightened people ran to ask for help, but Alberg did not look back. *** 'It’s too much.’ Hydra's regenerative power was formidable, but even it had its limits. A wound like this would slow his regenerative powers. In the sky, Spotty aimed for the head, and Kero pranced and bit his ankle. On top of that, it was natural that it would be difficult to hold on, since even the dragon, Two-eyed, was attacking from the front. "These bastards!" Just in case, he glanced at Ash, but that side was in trouble as well. No matter how much power he received, he was originally a human, so he couldn't demonstrate the ability of the demons. Besides, the opponent was also bad. 'I'll have to step back soon.' At this point, the demon summoning ritual would have been almost over. Kai responded passively to the attack and looked for an opportunity to escape. As if they had noticed that, Two-eyed became more and more tenacious. However, Kai still had a hidden move left, and he planned to use him to get out of his body. He was worried about Hyeon-woo, who hadn't fought yet and stood on the other side, but when he looked around, it didn't look like he would intervene. 'Yeah, you always did.' Kai gnashed his teeth. And as he was about to blow up the swamp for the net, a familiar voice suddenly resonated in his head. 【Hold out more.】 It was Tiamat, who was summoning demons in the middle of it. 【Make the dragon look nowhere else!】 At the sound of her nervous voice, Kai took his pain and leaped forward, swinging nine necks. In response, Two-eyed screamed out. At the moment when all creatures flinched at her magical voice, a naked woman jumped in quickly. 'Tiamat!' Tiamat quickly clung onto Two-eyed’s chest and dug into his flesh, thrusting his forearm into it. “Kyaaaagh!” Two-eyed screamed and twisted his body, but Tiamat held on without falling. Just a little bit more. She opened her wound and pushed her torso in. Her body was covered in blood, but she didn't hesitate because she was used to it. As a result of such a desperate attack, she finally found the Dragon Heart! “Sorry, I have no grudges.” Tiamat apologized lightly and pushed herself further to dig out the heart. However, the body did not move further and came to a halt. Something was holding her back and preventing her from going any further. Not enough of her, he pulled her with her terrifying power. "Ack!" Tiamat, pulled back in an instant, fell down. She was thrown so hard that she couldn't even straighten her body. "What are you?" Hyeon-woo, who was clinging to Two-eyed’s scales, asked Tiamat. “Ahaha.” Why did it work like this? She was going to run away with the dragon heart. Tiamat gritted her teeth and swept her hair back.

75. “They’re Awakened supremacists.” Ga-jun was the first to speak. “What’s that?” When Hyeon-woo asked, Ga-jun explained step by step. “It’s literally in the name. Awakeners who consider themselves to be a new race superior to ordinary people.” Times had changed with the appearance of the Awakened. With great abilities, they gradually gained power, helping maintain peace in the world. However, those with vested interests that already existed did not want to hand over what they had in their hands. That was why the law sanctioned the Awakened and tried not to hand over a large amount of power to them. There were those who tolerated such situations, and those who did not. They believed that they should have more, and that the times should change to keep pace with the Awakened. “But society openly holds the Awakened people in check. You can tell by looking at the Seon-Hyeon guild. The government and corporations do everything, but isn’t it strange that the power of the best guild in the country is only this much? The Hunter Administration is like a shackle. Even this time, if the portal didn’t explode without notice, the association would have been formed much later.” Perhaps because of that situation, there were a lot of villains among the Awakened supremacists. “Still, Ouroboros is the first to appear while committing such a big thing.” Should he say this was good or bad? If Ouroboros shaked the world in this way, more Awakened and Villains would fall for his doctrines. “It will get confusing.” Ga-jun clicked his tongue as if it were annoying. “If you keep your position properly, there will be no confusion.” Do-jin said firmly and blocked Ga-jun’s words. “Well, is that so? In situations like this, even if you don’t want to intervene, you’ll still get caught up in it.” For a moment there was silence in the room. And the one who broke the silence was a person from the Guardian Guild who rushed over. “Please help.” The young man gasped for help and called for help. “Gate-type portals are bursting simultaneously, and there are not enough Awakened people!” The other day, portals exploded all over Korea. Because of that, they scattered here and there and tried to rectify it, but this time the problem seemed to have arisen in a slightly unusual way. “They opened the portal with determination and focused only on New York. There are many people who couldn’t evacuate, but it’s impossible to deal with monsters raining down on them.” The young man gritted his teeth. Because of that, the Awakened people on the American side, who had been waiting firmly in advance, were also taken aback. Because it took time to bring people who were scattered far away together. “Please help.” “Of course. You have to pay your debt.” As Seon-woo and Do-jin stepped forward, Ga-jun also joined them. “Me too!” Hyeon-woo also intervened. “Okay, Hyung let’s go too.” Seon-woo answered while glancing out the window. Since the city center was already in a mess, he thought it would be safer to leave Hyeon-woo next to him rather than leaving him behind. The three of them listened to the young man and settled on one side of New York. Awakened people from other countries were also seen not far away. “Hey, how are you?” While waiting for the portal to open, a dark-skinned man approached him with his hand raised. On his chest was a badge depicting a red bird flying splendidly. “Phoenix Guild.” Because of that, it was not difficult to identify his identity. “Oh, right! Phoenix Guild. It’s a bit much to ask people from other countries, so I decided to attach guild members as helpers. The same role as that kid over there.” “I’m not a kid, I’m John from the Guardian Guild.” “Yes, yes. John. Call me Ash.” Ash said with a smirk. “Now then, let’s watch over New York together!” Ash stood next to John while speaking strangely, highly tense. “Somehow, he’s a bad guy, isn’t he?” When Ga-jun said it like spitting it out, Seon-woo and Do-jin also agreed. The feeling was quite different from John, who equally claimed to be a helper. “You must be extra careful.” When Ga-jun said that, Do-jin stepped back and stood next to Hyeon-woo. The three of them were thinking the same thing. ‘Bacardi is the guild leader of the Phoenix Guild.’ They thought he might have messed with something. “Ah, it’s going to explode.” As soon as Ash put his hand to his eyes and shouted, the portal opened, and countless monsters began pouring out. As soon as it came out, Do-jin grabbed the monsters about to scatter, and Seon-woo attacked. Seon-woo froze the monsters’ feet, and Ga-jun poisoned them. In the meantime, Kero and Spotty, who had grown in size, ran amok, and Two-eyed intervened. “On the way!” The same side could be poisoned, so Ga-jun stomped his feet, and eventually ran into the scene, sweeping his head. It seemed that he was going to fight at close quarters. John, who was called a kid, also took a sword, and slashed the monster. Kill and kill again. Even after killing them, the monsters that kept coming out were like a swarm of ants. “That’s a spectacular sight.” Ash fought calmly even in this situation. Every time he stretched out his hand, a monster died. Even so, the anxiety of the people around him was getting higher and higher. Aaaaang! To deal with the monsters, Kero, and Spotty moved further apart. Do-jin was still by Hyeon-woo’s side, but he was busy spreading his abilities here and there. ‘Ah, my hands are itching.’ Hyeon-woo clenched and opened his fists, immersed in thought. He didn’t mention his ability at first because he wanted to stay idle. After that, as time passed, it felt weird to reveal it in the middle, so he postponed it. As a result, Seon-woo still thought that Hyeon-woo was weak. Do-jin seemed to have noticed something the other day, but he didn’t ask anything. He was probably waiting for Hyeon-woo to tell him. ‘What should I do?’ If Hyeon-woo intervened directly, the monsters could have been wiped out right away. No matter how many monsters turn around and attack humans, they are bound to remain calm in the face of absolute power and fear. He looked around for a while. In this area, people were almost evacuated because they had blocked the monsters well. However, there were people who could not escape. They moved a little more and howled in fear. ‘Okay, let’s move.’ If he explained the situation step by step to Seon-woo, he would understand. The moment he was about to move with that thought in mind, something flew from behind Hyeon-woo. He tried to hit it with his hands quickly but Do-jin was a little faster. Do-jin, who struck off an invisible attack, asked Ash, revealing his teeth. “What are you doing?” “What do you mean?” Ash stuck out his tongue. “It’s like this.” He took the glass bottle from his bosom and threw it on the floor. Then the glass bottle broke and black smoke rose from within, and a new portal was created within it. “One more?” John, who was standing next to Ash, tried to stop him from smirking, but it was not enough. “No way!” Pushing the desperate John, Ash opened another portal. “This will be a little more troublesome than now. But if you’re going to stop here, you haven’t even started. Kai! Please come out!” The moment he stepped back, a human figure fell from the air. He was a tall, slender man with a snake-like appearance. He had his eyes closed, but he opened them shortly after. “Uh?” Hyeon-woo tilted his head involuntarily. He was the man he had seen before. Then he was the one, who was escorting another pretty woman. “Long time no see.” A thin trembling voice was heard. What was in that voice was fear and terror. He seemed to have a lot of power, but he was so scared. He couldn’t help but wonder even more. “To be honest, I thought a lot before coming here. You are a fearful existence. But I realized that I can’t just avoid it forever. There was still not enough manpower, so I had to come too.” The man looked straight at Hyeon-woo and continued. “You know me?” “You don’t even recognize me at this moment.” The man bit his lip hard. “My name is Kai.” He didn’t know whether he heard that name before. It was Two-eyed who offered Hyeon-woo some words of help. “Hyeon-woo, your second bike.” “What?” “Bike.” “No, I understand that.” So, the tall young man in front of him was Jingjing, the second bike? Did he have a different name? No, was he able to talk before? Hyeon-woo’s expression strangely changed. “Uh, But isn’t your name Jingjing?” “My name is Kai.” Kai answered, avoiding his gaze. As the situation took a strange turn, Ash, who had been withdrawn, asked, narrowing his eyes. “Kai-nim, do you know someone?” It was strange to see a resident of Demon Realm, who arrogantly said he had no interest in human beings and suddenly carried himself like a shy bride. “Yes.” “But you can still kill him, right?” When Ash asked back, Kai replied with a ridiculous expression. “Are you crazy?” “Yes?” “How do you kill that person?” Kai’s purpose in coming here was to pass the time. If he knew Hyeon-woo would be here, he would’ve interfered with their plans long ago. They opened a portal in New York, but that wasn’t just that all they wanted. With their grander goal, it was necessary to bind some dangerous Awakened to their locations by sending a powerful person. And this was the most dangerous place.

76. Kai stopped engaging with Ash and held his hand out. At the same time, the floor began to melt. The Hydra race's special skill was to turn a certain area into a swamp. It prevented people from stepping on the floor and teased their opponents with their unique persistent regenerative power. 'The first time I had to use this ability was when I dealt with that monster.' It was then that Kai tasted an impending sense of defeat for the first time in a while. 'It’s gonna be okay.' It wasn't that he wanted to beat Hyeon-woo. He was just buying time. He would have to fight with all of his abilities. Kai made up his mind and cast off his human form. Gu-oh-oh-oh! Hydra, a nine-headed monster, roared. "Wow." Ga-jun whistled. The floor turned into a swamp, but no one was troubled. Seon-woo froze the floor with his unique ability and Do-jin stepped on a shadow while hugging Hyeon-woo. The hardest hit were the monsters. Some of the flightless monsters sank as if they were being dragged into a swamp and howled, but Kai didn't care about them at all. “Isn’t this a disadvantage to me?” Standing at the end of the leaning lamppost, Ga-jun grumbled, but that was all. He, too, had the ability to prepare for such a situation. He even snatched and rescued John, who was about to sink into the swamp. The problem was that the monster right in front of him was formidable. That too was quickly resolved. "I'll handle it. Are you fine with that?" Two-eyed stepped forward and asked Hyeon-woo for his consent. And as soon as he nodded, he returned to his original form. His neck lengthened, and his pillar-like legs stretched out. The spread wings were huge enough to cover the body, instantly darkening the area. As the gigantic dragon stretched, its black scales shimmered. In terms of size alone, the dragon was a bit bigger than the Hydra. “Come at me; I’ve been wanting to fight you.” Kai shouted loudly and took his step forward. As a monster that originally lived in a swamp, its movements were natural. On the other hand, Two-eyed was shaking his feet as if they were in trouble. He should have been flying in the first place, but he didn't seem to care. "Well, it doesn't matter." Two-eyed grinned and confronted Kai, who rushed forward. His gigantic body writhed violently with a loud cry to subdue his opponent. He bit with sharp teeth and struck down with his hard tail. Each time he spurted blood with a roar. “This is unrealistic.” It felt like watching a giant monster series that was popular in the past. “But is that alright?” Two huge bodies collided with each other, destroying nearby buildings as well. Two-eyed, who had been thoroughly educated, seemed to take caution, but Kai was merciless. "It can’t be helped, right?" Saying that, Seon-woo moved his gaze to Ash, who was far away. He was looking this way as if he felt his gaze. “Yeah." “Are you not from the Phoenix Guild? Is this a betrayal at the guild level?" “I can’t say with my own mouth.” "Then I'll have to make you open your mouth." Seon-woo, who moved as if sliding across the frozen swamp, immediately approached Ash. "That’s good. I wanted to fight you too!” Ash smiled as he raised both of his hands. Then, an invisible pressure pressed on Seon-woo's body. 'Gravity increase!' It wasn't hard to get back up, but he couldn't move quickly. It was surprisingly strong. Even so, Seon-woo seemed to handle the gravity attack the best out of all the people Ash had ever fought. “You are strong.” “You are strong too. What did you sacrifice for that? Ash smiled and waved his hand for the next attack. But Seon-woo wasn't particularly nervous. The opponent was strong but it wasn't that he wasn’t also strong. Besides, he wasn't alone. Ga-jun, who had gone back before he knew it, stretched out his poison-stained hand and pressed Ash's back. He managed to dodge it by car, but Seon-woo dug in the gap created by that. The ice pick rotated and surrounded Ash, and a shadow that appeared before he knew it bounded him. “Wow, so cheap!” “Originally, when dealing with villains, it’s a fight for justice!” Ga-jun grinned and grabbed Ash's arm as he desperately blocked the ice pick. Once he made skin contact, the poison spread quickly. "That’s mean!" Ash shook his head like an angry man, then looked up. In a matter of seconds, his body had become a wreck. But he had a few hidden trump cards. Suddenly, the shadow holding Ash felt strong pressure. His body swelled, more than doubling in size, and his skin turned gray. Then, his shiny forehead cracked, and his horns began to grow through the cracks. "I guess he wasn't human either?" Ga-jun stepped back and said calmly. “This has become a more serious matter.” If the monsters could change their form like Kai or Ash, it wouldn't be difficult to sneak into the city. And that was pretty dangerous news for people. "Let's just grab it and see." “That would be better.” Seon-woo and Ga-jun stepped forward again. “I’ll kill them all!” “That's what I’m going to say.” Seon-woo clashed with Ash again, and Ga-jun began to creep into the gap. “Can I help?” "It's hot." He was getting a strange feeling. What should he call this feeling? Hyeon-woo stood there blankly and looked at Do-jin's back. “Now I’m ready!” Tiamat stood in front of a huge magic circle. She didn't even break a sweat as she imitated the behavior of someone she had seen and watched recently. However, the facial expression was awkward and not appropriate for the situation. “Then next time!” Tiamat smiled cheerfully, looked back, and tapped her forehead with her hand. "Right. There’s no one to help.” Tiamat had killed everyone upon entering this space. Among them were allies, but she didn't care. People were worth that little to her. “Then I’ll do it alone.” A huge magic circle was drawn in front of Tiamat, who looked at her again. And on top of that, there was an offering for summoning the portal. "Because it's really fun." The being that summoned himself here was a demon, and the being he would summon now was also a demon. If the summoning was successful, the high-ranking demons on Earth would become two. Three if you included Tiamat. ‘I had a dream.’ 'What was it?' She wasn't particularly curious, but she asked politely. It was a demon's dream. Obviously, it was to become strong and oppress the weak, conquer the world, or get wet with blood. However, the answer that came back was unexpected. 'It's to make the demons live in an affluent environment.' “What for?” At the truly unexpected answer, Tiamat looked at him with her eyes wide open 'Well, I just want to do it. Why can’t I?” He was a weird guy. Tiamat thought so. 'The Demon Realm is like a barren tree. To be honest, it is not an environment suitable for life. That's why I want the earth.' He said so. ‘He's a really eccentric guy.’ After completing all preparations, Tiamat began infusing magic into the magic circle. It was possible because she was a dragon born with tremendous magical power. A magic circle imbued with magical power glowed and a small dot appeared in the air. The dot whirled and grew bigger and bigger until it filled the huge cavity. “Okay then, come over.” Tiamat whispered into the portal. How much time had passed since then? A white hand protruded from the center of the portal. 'It takes a long time.' While grumbling, she poured out her magic power. Perhaps thanks to that effort, a body was slowly but steadily coming out of the portal. “Why the hell is it taking so long?” Tiamat would have been higher in rank had it not been for madness. Because she was like that, she secretly had a mind to look down on other demons above her. She was curious about which of the demons had such a presence. And finally, the demon sticks its head out. At the same time, Tiamat realized that things had gone wrong. "No way." The magic circle was quickly disenchanted, but the portal did not close immediately. It was closing as slowly as it took to open. And in the meantime, the demon's body was steadily coming out. "It can’t be!" It wasn't the demon she was trying to call. Tiamat hurriedly returned to her main body and prepared to release her breath. The only thing left to do was to destroy the portal. ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Davine, YaagRabRag HM: Tiamat is a girl, Ash is a gender-neutral name and is also a demon. Demons probably don’t emphasis on Gender stuff, like Humans do, which makes sense, since all they care about is destroying things. lol Davine: Forgive my dizziness.
