Discord
Being born into Sanctum’s bloodline didn’t mean living a comfortable life.
A life where awakening as a player was guaranteed, though Go Jae-han and Shin Su-kyung gave them freedom, those bloodlines always felt pressure from the name Sanctum.
Boom!
At first, it was true that he felt rebellious toward such a life.
Boom!
But he soon came to understand.
How blessed and enviable this life was.
From that point on, he changed, feeling the weight of it.
It actually wasn’t bad.
Boom!
Living as a player was an excellent outlet for the energy that dwelled within Go Yoon-su.
Like his other siblings, Go Yoon-su had sought out gates and never avoided combat.
He might even be better off than his eldest brother who was bound domestically, or his younger sister who focused on activities within America.
After all, Go Yoon-su had worked with Royal to support gates around the world.
Bang!
And yet.
Drip.
Go Yoon-su let out an empty laugh looking at the blood flowing down his forearm.
All his experience up until now seemed meaningless.
It was as if this moment was like entering his first gate after awakening as a player.
“Ha!”
Strength that made him laugh emptily.
The cyclops, evaluated as an S-rank monster, was indeed at that level.
Estimated level 500.
And there were nearly ten of them.
Thud, drip.
[Experience accumulated in the mana storage seeps into the player.]
[Your level has increased.]
“Ha.”
He laughed emptily in a different sense.
“Someone truly extraordinary was born into our family.”
The pendant that Go Johan had sent, he’d thought it was just an accessory he was pleased to receive from his usually indifferent youngest brother.
“Would ‘extraordinary’ be enough?”
He couldn’t even tell where it ended.
If it weren’t for the pendant Go Johan gave him and Paluka whom Go Johan sent, he would have died dozens of times already.
“That person…”
“Let’s praise that guy together later.”
“Let’s do that.”
And one more thing.
Woong.
Rachel, who had somehow regained consciousness, was helping them.
She still seemed unable to understand how she was using this power.
[Alunta’s Protection activates.]
[Players’ defense increases.]
[Alunta’s Blessing activates.]
[Players’ attack power increases.]
She possessed the power of a buffer, something exceedingly rare.
Because of that.
Whoosh!
Go Yoon-su, Paluka, and the few remaining players were holding on well.
However.
“…We’re screwed, right?”
“Seems like it.”
Though their voices were light, their complexions had darkened considerably.
Rumble! Thud! Thud!
The tremendous noise shaking the ground.
A massive body was rushing toward this place.
A cyclops, but it had two heads.
“Twin Head Cyclops…”
A monster that hadn’t even been discovered, only theorized about.
S-rank, but the strength incomparably greater than a regular cyclops could be clearly felt.
Woong.
The level reader whirred roughly, making noise.
[Estimated level…]
When the Twin Head Cyclops had approached right up close, the level reader announced.
A dizzying number.
Boom!
The Twin Head Cyclops that had planted its feet in the ground took a strange posture and thrust its faces forward.
Whirr, whirr, whirr!
Mana from all around swirled, beginning to gather destructive red light in those two eyes.
“……!”
They could tell without speaking.
The moment that was completed, unstoppable destruction would arrive.
The response was immediate.
Boom!
They drew up all their remaining strength, everything they had appropriately distributed to face the cyclopes.
And then.
Crackle!
Like the cyclops, Go Yoon-su also planted his feet into the ground.
Creak.
The muscles gripping the spear contracted, compressing as if ready to burst.
Bang!
First, Paluka’s spear became a thrown spear, shooting toward the cyclops’s eye.
It hesitated, as if losing strength between the destructive lights.
Crack!
Eventually it lodged itself in the cyclops’s eye.
And next.
Bang!
Go Yoon-su’s spear tore through the air, rushing toward the cyclops’s remaining eye.
However.
“…Damn it.”
It was too late.
The destructive light that had already been completed.
Boom!
It was the moment when it was about to tear through Go Yoon-su’s spear and arrive.
In time that seemed stopped.
Whirr! Whirr! Whirr!
The level reader began operating on its own.
Then soon.
Pop!
It burst as if unable to handle the output.
‘Why?’
Ironically, at the moment before death, he had such a question.
Swish.
But seeing Paluka smiling while looking at him, he could intuit it.
“He’s come.”
Boom!
“That troublemaker.”
How absurd would it be if that were his last words?
But both Go Yoon-su and Paluka knew they weren’t last words.
Boom!
The destructive light split into two paths right before their noses, bypassing the players and ordinary people.
Right in front of Go Yoon-su’s nose.
What Go Yoon-su saw was silver-white hair.
Boom!
Behind them, the destructive light was causing a massive explosion showing what true destruction was, but it didn’t matter.
Hadn’t he said so?
“I’m not late, am I?”
“Just barely.”
That guy had come.
*

He tore through dimensions and burst in.
His divine eyes, sharper than ever before, could immediately find the target.
He kicked off the air.
And leaped in.
“I’m not late, am I?”
He reached out his hand, cutting through space to distort the destructive light.
After that.
Boom!
An explosion was heard.
The explosion of the cyclops’s heat ray scorching the earth behind.
But what was heard after that was.
Boom!
The explosion of the air that Go Johan had torn apart to come here.
The heat ray dissipated.
And the scene revealed was.
“…Ha.”
Something that made Go Yoon-su laugh emptily once again.
Though he couldn’t even see what had been done, one side of the Twin Head Cyclops that he’d been certain would be difficult to face even with all their strength was completely torn away.
“Just how much of a monster have you become?”
“That’s…”
The face turning around.
Thud!
It was the sound of the Twin Head Cyclops that had lost one side collapsing.
“Is that what you say to a brother you’re meeting after so long?”
“Because you’re amazing.”
Go Yoon-su said.
“And because I’m proud of you.”
At that sight, the two brothers smiled slightly.
Go Yoon-su was different from Go Woo-jin or Goh Min-ji.
“……”
Beside him, Paluka was trembling, not even daring to speak.
He soon.
Swish.
With his injured body, he somehow tried to bow.
“You don’t need to do that. You’ve worked hard.”
“……! Thank…thank you.”
There would be things to discuss with Go Yoon-su about Paluka too.
But now wasn’t the time.
Thud.
Go Johan immediately walked past Go Yoon-su.
“Go Johan…!”
Go Yoon-su tried to stop Go Johan, but he had already moved away and arrived at his intended destination.
Trembling.
Right in front of Go Johan’s nose, he saw a blonde woman cowering and shaking.
“……”
She was panting as if unable to breathe properly, not because of sudden awakening and excessive mana use.
“Y-yo… you…”
Her appearance was like a frightened child crying out.
“Y-you are…what…”
What she was so terrified of was none other than Go Johan himself.
Rachel.
From the perspective of her awakened vision.
Boom!
Go Johan appeared to be the very incarnation of indescribably deep darkness.
“Rather, that’s what I want to ask.”
It was as if darkness itself was speaking.
“What are you?”
Because she too didn’t appear as merely human from Go Johan’s perspective.
Her composition seen through his divine eyes was entirely white light.
*
*
*
To get to the conclusion, Rachel fainted again.
What could be understood from that was that Rachel wasn’t an ordinary person.
But she also wasn’t an ordinary player either.
Also.
“…She doesn’t even know what she is herself.”
Rachel herself seemed unaware of what kind of existence she had become.
“Go Johan.”
That’s when Go Yoon-su approached and said.
“Rachel is…”
He had received reports about Rachel.
His lover, whom Go Yoon-su relied on deeply.
“Rachel is…”
Go Yoon-su seemed to want to say something too, but couldn’t easily do so.
He too had noticed that Rachel was the cause of all this, and one suspicion had arisen.
“She didn’t approach with intention.”
Go Johan resolved that suspicion.
“I checked beforehand.”
“……”
“But it doesn’t seem to be the British royal family.”
“The royal family? Royal?”
“Yes.”
Go Johan said.
“It seems they only identified Rachel as a key figure after she boarded the plane heading to Korea. If not, she wouldn’t have boarded the plane in the first place…”
Go Johan said.
“You two wouldn’t have been connected either.”
The British royal family had been aware of Temple for a long time.
Though the head called Go Johan hadn’t been revealed until recently, there had been reports that they had also figured out Temple had significant involvement with South Korea’s Sanctum.
Interested but cautious.
Just about that level.
“And.”
Go Johan’s words weren’t finished yet.
“They wouldn’t have revealed themselves this urgently.”
“……?”
Go Yoon-su didn’t seem to notice yet, but Paluka seemed to have caught on.
Considering that the believers attached to Sanctum’s bloodlines were players that Go Johan and the apostles had carefully cultivated, it wasn’t unreasonable.
“What do you mean by that?”
“They came. Directly.”
Go Johan walked out.
“For what we’re curious about, we can ask them.”
Go Johan had arrived in North Korea where the plane disappeared, and found and opened the hidden gate through his divine eyes.
Even Go Johan had done so.
Whirr.
So how on earth.
“……! Who are they?”
How could they have arrived here so quickly?
“…Royal.”
Royal Guild, they had now revealed themselves and appeared right there in front.
