Preparations for the war to come in the future were steadily progressing.
Yoon Seung-ah and Lee Ha-yeon suggested increasing the number of believers who would operate in the light, and that was.
Clang.
The battle priests.
Composed of those who lost family related to demons, they offered themselves to face demons, and in return used harsh training and the Hall of Growth.
They could especially be called elites trained by Lee Jae-kyung.
But what mattered now was.
Clang.
That they absolutely followed Go Johan’s words.
Even though Chrome Lizardmen surrounded them, they hadn’t moved an inch with weapons sheathed.
One could even feel determination that if Go Johan told them to die right now, they would rush out without hesitation and throw themselves away.
In fact.
Swoosh!
A Chrome Lizardman who couldn’t hold back and threw a spear.
Even though that spear tip was shooting toward Taehan’s guild members, they didn’t move.
Clang!
Of course, it bounced off at Kim Se-hyeon’s line, unable to even wound them.
Swish.
Go Johan turned his head.
If they were here, they would be of great help for the apostles’ absence and what was about to happen.
Whoosh.
He reached out his hand.
Step.
He moved his foot.
Crack!
Along with splitting airflow, the Chrome Lizardmen’s bodies were torn apart.
‘Definitely…’
The feeling was different.
Until recently, Go Johan’s spatial severing felt like forcibly grabbing and tearing space.
So the cross-sections of enemies hit by spatial severing looked more like they’d been torn by monsters rather than by sharp blades.
But now.
Slice.
The cross-sections of those splitting and falling were quite smooth.
‘Divine sight’s growth.’
The change gained from becoming Species Destroyer.
Tap tap tap!
Go Johan rushed forward, beginning to test that power around him.
Of course.
Gurgle.
Black lava’s blessing.
Crack!
He also used the black sapling’s blessing together.
Black lava writhing from split earth swallowed the Chrome Lizardmen, and tree roots sprouting from cracks grabbed and tore them apart.
A B-rank gate.
Could be a great enemy threatening national security for some small country.
Could be a monster’s maw that swallows any ordinary guild.
“Wonder if this works?”
For Go Johan now, just training opponents.
No different from hard scarecrows made of iron.
Crackle!
When he split the sky with spatial severing.
Gurgle.
Black lava surged from within.
“Grrr!”
“Gruk!”
“Kirrrrr!”
The Chrome Lizardmen knelt in terror as if receiving divine punishment.
But there was no way for them to survive.
Whoosh!
Pouring lava swept everything away.
Step.
When Go Johan who stepped on the ground again looked at them from the air.
Crack, crack.
The swept Chrome Lizardmen had hardened black, all dead.
The remaining Chrome Lizardmen were now completely demoralized, only backing away.
Nod.
Go Johan nodded toward Kim Se-hyeon and Taehan.
The remaining ones were nothing special anyway.
He thought that much was just the right level for them to warm up.
Whoosh!
Surging blood extended and pierced through Chrome Lizardmen.
The appearance of Taehan moving behind.
Clang! Clang!
Could be said to resemble that of an occupying force.

Though he’d delayed saying he’d train.
[Chrome Lizardmen’s Sanctuary has been destroyed.]
[Small amount of karma points acquired.]
He could be certain with the Goddess’s voice.
Whoosh!
That he was first.
The others still seemed to be conquering opened gates while heading here.
Whoosh!
Demonic energy pouring like a waterfall swept over Go Johan, Kim Se-hyeon, and others.
Crack.
Eerie sounds flowed from the mouths of Taehan’s guild members who stepped on the ground.
Pain struck as if eroding demonic energy tore skin and rotted internal organs.
Clench.
At demonic energy that ordinary people could never withstand, they even suspected whether all life in North Korea had already perished.
However.
[Sloth’s curse dwells.]
Something growing languid.
“Huff, huff…”
Taehan’s players finally began exhaling.
All bodily activities reacting violently to demonic energy began subsiding, eroded by sloth’s curse.
Hearts that had been violently pounding as if to beat thousands of times regained their original rhythm, and eyes and brains that had swelled as if to burst gradually began settling calmly.
“…The preparations seem to work well.”
At Go Johan’s words, Kim Se-hyeon nodded.
“Indeed.”
It wasn’t over yet.
[Greed’s curse dwells.]
Simultaneously, voices buzzing in their heads began disappearing.
-Commit suicide!
-Slit your throat!
-Offer your heart!
Voices of evil spirits shouting to urge death.
-Want to live.
-Must live.
Began pushing them away, filled with desire for life.
This was Go Johan and the church’s prepared countermeasure for North Korea.
A plan to protect ordinary citizens when a button incomparable to nuclear weapons was pressed in the future.
Since they couldn’t even resist by ordinary methods, what they chose was…
Roar!
Opposing the Demon King through the archdemon’s curses.
The result was.
Boom!
A success.
Explosions heard everywhere, and sounds of battle.
Citizens were still resisting and enduring the demons’ schemes happening now.
And what made all this possible was because of black pillars surging within the wall.
“Obelisks, those are symbols containing curses.”
Apostles who secretly infiltrated North Korea didn’t extract North Korean residents but secretly drove huge stakes into that land.
So when demonic energy filled up to the point of exploding, the stakes could absorb the demonic energy and surge up.
They could be called special structures Gluttony personally made with effort.
“Safe zones will be installed around them, and curses will protect people and drive away demons and demonic beasts.”
Demons and demonic beasts were probably listening too.
[Sloth’s curse dwells.]
[Greed’s curse dwells.]
But the curses activating on them would differ from those activating on citizens.
“Gruk, gruk… gruk…”
A Hell Hound visible in the distance was slowly collapsing.
And it with closed eyes soon stopped all activity as if forgetting even to breathe.
“Why do you have more horns than me?”
“You think something like you deserves two horns?”
Boom!
The greed dwelling in them was operating to steal what demons possessed.
Most explosions were due to that.
Whoosh.
Black sky, world covered by walls.
Citizens struggling to live and demonic beasts fighting each other and dying on their own.
North Korea was already.
“A demon realm.”
It had become a demon realm.

Where demonic energy concentrated most was Pyongyang where Go Johan appeared.
Go Johan without hesitation changed the Mark of Sin.
Gleam.
Into the shining Deadly Sin he grasped in hand.
Now it had grown a bit from a dagger, taking on a more sword-like appearance.
Swish.
Deadly Sin swung naturally as if everything were natural law.
That moment.
Roar!
A sword strike incomparable to any storm tore apart everything before him and shot toward Juseok Palace.
Another black pillar surging there.
Boom!
When it and Go Johan’s sword strike collided, a roar like a bomb exploding resonated but.
Crack.
The black pillar only dropped some fragments, appearing intact.
“As expected, it won’t work.”
He hadn’t intended to destroy it anyway, and did it knowing it wouldn’t break.
Black pillar.
That was.
‘Demon King’s horn.’
A passage for the Demon King’s descent, and the Demon King’s very existence.
Simultaneously, since it was part of the dimension called demon realm, he’d seen in Trabania that it couldn’t be destroyed by force.
‘Doesn’t seem like there’s no method though.’
He intended to leave it alone for now.
“Still…”
Go Johan said.
“Since I scared them, activity will quiet down.”
Demons were actually surprised, and demonic beasts were beginning to move.
Simultaneously, citizens too must have clearly seen that scene.
That was enough.
“Go around the obelisks and secure citizens. Also, you’ll be able to connect to the gate we came out of at each obelisk.”
“That’s it?”
“Feel free to rampage against demons and demonic beasts.”
Nod.
Kim Se-hyeon nodded without emotion.
Rumble!
But those designated as battle priests were different.
They who hadn’t been deployed to proper battles with demons until now.
Shing.
This time was an opportunity to finally rampage.
“Ah.”
They moaned and said as if Go Johan praised the Goddess.
“For the holy war.”
“See you later then.”
Kim Se-hyeon left those words and disappeared with red light.
He entrusted the Pyongyang vicinity to her.
‘What I need to do is…’
Deadly Sin gripped tightly in hand.
Roar!
He swung a sword strike again and struck the Demon King’s horn.
Crack!
Already at two sword strikes, sounds of shoulder muscles tearing as if ruptured were heard, and tremendous magic drained instantly bringing even a sense of powerlessness.
Boom!
But he swung another sword strike.
The reason for repeating this action despite knowing it wouldn’t break and having no intention to break it was simple.
“Grrrrr!”
This was a clear threat.
The Demon King who had staked much to descend would command to somehow protect the Demon King’s horn.
“Keeong!”
Demonic beasts, and.
“…Already appeared?”
“My luck is… good.”
Demons were rapidly approaching Go Johan who became the epicenter.
“Must defend the horn!”
“That monster…”
Demons shouted, sprouting their horns.
Seeds already germinated, demons pouring through opened doors.
“Kill hiiiim!”
They began rushing toward Go Johan.
Crack!
Go Johan just tore them apart with an expressionless face.
“O Goddess.”
Here he would face most demons and demonic beasts that appeared in North Korea.
