“The plane your brother boarded has disappeared.”
At those words, Go Johan quietly began to move.
“Where are you going?”
“Just a moment.”
Goh Min-ji asked Go Johan, but he left without answering.
At the same time, mana spreading out erased all interference around.
“What are you talking about?”
It was his usual voice, but within it something cold and sharp as a blade was emerging.
Go Yoon-su had been studying abroad in England.
It was for the alliance between the Royal Guild, Royal, and Sanctum, and also consideration from Go Jae-han and Shin Su-kyung for him who found Korea stifling.
He’d heard the news that he who had been active in England for a long time was finally returning to Korea.
“The plane disappeared?”
The plane he boarded disappeared?
“While coming through Russia via direct route, in North Korean airspace, literally…”
Greed said.
“The plane was lost.”
“……”
Something seemed to be boiling.
“Was it shot down?”
If it was due to physical impact, it would rather be a not-so-bad situation.
Sanctum’s bloodline had defensive items Go Johan had unknowingly passed to them, and they automatically activated in emergencies to protect them.
Also, church believers were secretly protecting them.
But Go Johan was already guessing.
“No…”
If it were something like a shootdown, Greed wouldn’t have reported this way.
She would have already rescued them and brought a follow-up report.
“The traces themselves disappeared. As if they never existed in this world.”
Because it was a situation even her abilities couldn’t reach, Greed had interrupted this time he was spending with family.
Whoosh.
Go Johan’s vision rippled and Lee Ha-yeon appeared.
Like Go Johan, her face trying not to show emotion also revealed a hint of urgency.
“From what we’ve determined, 8 countries have grasped the current situation and sent us word. Ivan and others are declaring they’re not involved in this incident.”
Greed said.
“The Japanese side has been waiting to speak directly with the captain since earlier.”
There was no need to hurry.
Go Yoon-su, though he himself was a powerful player, the items and believers protecting him were even more reliable.
If something had already gone wrong, it couldn’t be helped even by moving immediately.
After that.
‘It would just be thorough destruction.’
Go Johan opened his closed eyes and said.
“Connect me.”
Immediately, a blue screen appeared beside Greed.
It was a type of hologram magic she mainly used, and he’d heard they’d succeeded in itemizing it with Gluttony and were experimentally using it.
“It’s an honor to be able to speak.”
The unfamiliar Japanese person he was seeing for the first time spoke without hiding obvious tension.
“Team leader of Code Shiro response team…”
Code Shiro.
He’d already been reported that this was what Japan called Go Johan, himself.
“I’m Hayata Takeda.”
She soon hid her tension and spoke calmly.
“What is it?”
“We declare that the Japanese government or forces have absolutely no connection to Mr. Go’s plane being lost, and if there’s any need from your country regarding this, we’ll do our best to cooperate.”
Because of the past Kishin Guild incident, they were clearly being careful by stepping forward first.
“Is that all?”
Go Johan asked.
“No.”
And Hayata answered.
“We contacted you to share what we’ve determined.”
“Determined? You mean?”
“Before Mr. Go’s return schedule, circumstances where strange movements by the British Royal family were detected.”
“……”
“It’s not certain yet, but it seems like it could be a clue, so I’m sharing by arbitrary judgment.”
England.
Go Johan nodded.
“Thank you for the consideration.”
“We appreciate it.”
With that, the connection ended.
“There was similar content in reports from Ivan and Temple. As if…”
Lee Ha-yeon said.
“It was movement like searching for someone.”
But they didn’t think it was related to Go Yoon-su so they didn’t report it.
That’s when.
“Is something wrong?”
Shin Su-kyung carefully came out of the orphanage and said to Go Johan.
“……”
Go Johan, who had been thinking for a moment at that sight, said.
“I’ll go pick up Yoon-su hyung.”
“Oh my, is it that time already?”
“No. I’m going to go early.”
Did she sense something from Go Johan’s words?
“…Be careful.”
Shin Su-kyung left only those words and went back into the orphanage, facing the children.
“For now.”
Go Johan said.
“I should move.”
Go Johan began to move.

Sloth, Yoon Seung-ah, was in the last World Tree’s world together with Kim Si-on.
There was no way they who were doing their utmost for the Magic Tower and World Tree relocation plan could return urgently.
What had taken long effort could collapse in just a few minutes.
Her spatial magic was convenient, but now they had no choice but to concede.
That’s why Go Johan was walking the other side of the church, the temple.
“The Sovereign Guild’s guild master wishes to speak.”
Lee Ha-yeon was managing dozens of reports and contacts even in that moment while following along.
“Sovereign?”
“A Temple-affiliated guild located in England.”
“Connect me.”
A screen appeared as he walked.
“I meet the captain.”
He seemed unable to hide his quite trembling heart.
Even if they belonged to Temple, not all were believers.
Also, those among them who had seen Go Johan directly could be counted on one hand.
But one thing was certain.
“Sovereign Guild, I’m guild master Edmund.”
“I know. Edmund.”
“……!”
At that, Edmund’s eyes opened wide.
“Though I haven’t met everyone working hard in person, I’m always hearing that news.”
It was the truth.
Even if he didn’t remember the guild name Sovereign, he remembered the name Edmund.
“…It’s an honor.”
“Since it’s urgent, let’s talk later.”
“A few days ago, one of the British Royal family’s key figures disappeared.”
“……”
It’s a hint.
“Royal sought to find that figure, secretly forming a tracking team. According to Royal’s news just now…”
Royal, the royal guild, they were among those Temple hadn’t gotten into its grasp.
Loyalty to the British Royal family was one reason, but they had to prove loyalty in a special way and once they belonged to Royal, they couldn’t leave.
Go Yoon-su who had been dispatched for the alliance was only active in Royal’s subordinate guild, he hadn’t entered their depths.
“The key figure may have headed to Korea.”
“……?”
Wait.
“It’s determined that they boarded the plane that disappeared with Sir Go Yoon-su.”
That meant.
“Suspicion is arising that Sir Go Yoon-su smuggled out the key figure.”
“The target isn’t Go Yoon-su but the British side’s key figure?”
“It seems so. If you wish, I’ll try to arrange a connection with Royal.”
Just one thing.
“Are you saying Royal is connected to this incident? That they made the plane disappear?”
“I can assure you that’s not the case. They’re also flustered.”
A third party.
And the target is the royal family’s key figure.
Then there was only one thing to say to Edmund.
“Tell them not to interfere with whatever I do. If not…”
Go Johan said.
“I’ll judge England as an enemy too.”
“I’ll convey that.”
With that, the connection ended.
After that too, key figures from various countries were requesting calls with Go Johan.
Those who could be called the heads of nations had already grasped Go Johan’s power to some extent, and had concluded he had deep connections with the secret force Temple.
Moreover.
‘Nuclear weapons.’
The nuclear missiles Russia had handed to Shinz.
Knowing that was connected to Go Johan, they had no choice but to be even more on edge.
“Are preparations complete?”
At Go Johan’s words, Cheol Jung-bae nodded.
“Complete.”
Go Yoon-su’s plane disappeared in North Korean airspace.
Then wasn’t the place to go clear?
Until now, Yoon Seung-ah had accompanied all spatial movement.
So in various countries’ intelligence agencies’ judgment.
‘Sloth is the only one with spatial ability.’
There were such reports.
So in some ways, was it determined that Sloth had a higher danger level than even Go Johan?
That wouldn’t do.
He had to shoulder everything himself.
The demons’ curse and the sins from it.
The fear and resentment people would pour out.
That was what a villain was.
“Ha-yeon, you grasp the situation from here. If there’s clear evidence or hints, you can move directly too.”
“Yes, Captain.”
Nod.
Wooooong!
When Go Johan nodded, the temple’s mana began to move.
Warp gates scattered in several places, and the power of the temple that could be called a miracle were combining.
Because of that.
Flaaash!
Go Johan became able to go anywhere even without Yoon Seung-ah.
Flash!
The world blinked with black light.
Go Johan who opened his eyes was standing in a completely different scene.
A dark city, descended silence.
It was a place completely different from the South Korea he’d experienced until now.
Surrounded by barriers and isolated from the world, in a sense it was a place that could be called another world.
Acrid mana felt like it would pierce him.
Thud.
Go Johan landing on the ground.
It was the moment he entered one of the prohibitions that normally couldn’t be stepped on and shouldn’t be stepped on.
Not a person could be seen on the streets.
That’s when.
Bang!
A bullet fired from somewhere rushed at Go Johan’s head.
That was only the beginning.
Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat!
Bullets fired as if in barrage had reached right before Go Johan’s nose in an instant.
Literally.
Swish.
Right before his nose.
While ordinary bullets might work on low-level players, they became useless once a certain level was reached.
Because superhuman bodies and rising mana increased defense.
And for players beyond that.
Pitter-patter!
They couldn’t even touch.
Dozens of bullets stopped in midair and fell just like that.
