Rumble.
The signal came immediately.
Along with trembling earth, a jet-black horde of demonic beasts was approaching.
“Hah.”
Go Johan clicked his tongue.
“Were this many hidden away?”
He knew that demonic beast seeds, demon seeds, and new drugs touched by demons were being mass-produced and distributed in North Korea and China.
When he blocked the entrance and prevented their spread as much as possible.
“……”
It seemed they were used inside.
Deep underground, he could see the will to deceive everything inside and out to prevent the regime’s collapse.
Rumble.
Also, as the Demon King began descending, parts of North Korea were merging with the demon realm.
The demonic beasts and demons pouring from within were literally close to ‘infinite.’
“Grrrrr…”
This was probably also why mighty Trabania perished completely without lasting five years.
No matter how many elite soldier legions existed to sweep away demonic beasts.
“Hell’s dogs, what do you fear?”
No matter how many knight orders and magic legions existed to hunt even horned demons.
“You are infinite, yet I am alone.”
Those pouring endlessly, glistening with malice and killing intent, ultimately broke and tore apart human will.
“Why so frightened?”
Among them, only one fought unbroken.
“Keong!”
Needless to say, that was Michael.
Hell Hounds beginning to charge.
“It’ll be a long fight.”
Different from Black Gates.
Unlike conquering clear objectives, this was.
‘Right.’
A kind of defense in Earth’s concept.
Demonic beasts and demons pouring like waves.
A fight about how long he could endure and sweep them away.
As in the past.
Boom!
Go Johan thrust his fist without touching spatial severing or divine sight’s domain.
Crack!
The Hell Hound’s skull struck by his fist shattered.
Whoosh!
That head turned to ash and scattered.
The three Hell Hounds that charged meanwhile.
Bang! Bang! Whoosh!
Lost their heads and flew away at Go Johan’s movements like light punches.
They hesitated briefly at that overwhelming power, but Go Johan was right.
“Bite him to death!”
“Did demon dogs feel fear?”
“Kill hiiiim!”
Go Johan was alone, and they were infinite.
“Keoooong!”
Hell Hounds and other demonic beasts began charging ceaselessly at the demons’ whipping.
Bang! Bang!
Go Johan’s movements looked like a legendary blacksmith’s hammering.
Pursuing extreme efficiency, with restrained movements.
Bang!
Yet their power and effectiveness were unparalleled.
Boom!
He smashed the pouring black dogs, and smashed again.
“I remember that time long ago.”
Grin.
Go Johan’s white teeth appeared between demonic beast heads scattering to ash.
Trabania’s Demon King descent.
The battle with the Demon King trying to be summoned by sacrificing an entire kingdom’s people continued for a full hundred days without rest.
“Everyone…”
Bang!
“Come at me.”
Where they tangled, whether someone was demon or human was never an important issue.
That’s when.
Tremble.
Trembling skin.
A signal came.
‘They’ve arrived.’
Reinforcements to move toward the goal were arriving one by one.

Kim Se-hyeon and Taehan didn’t look back.
Though they instinctively realized that the demonic beasts and demons Go Johan would face alone were close to eighty percent of what would appear in North Korea, it didn’t matter.
Tap tap tap!
The world had only witnessed part of Go Johan’s revealed power.
To those who had been with him long, who became his apostles, his priests.
“Better to be thorough than hasty.”
Go Johan was invincible, an untiring incarnation.
At Kim Se-hyeon’s words, Taehan’s guild members nodded.
Kim Se-hyeon’s appearance was different from when facing Go Johan.
Shing.
Kim Se-hyeon had often received evaluations of being dull in the past.
That evaluation was like a label that didn’t fall off even during her player activities, because of a past living passively like a doll.
Ripple.
Because of days feeling intimidated by changed parents.
Though that remained as nature and didn’t change, those who saw her combat even once said differently.
Clash!
The swung sword couldn’t advance easily as if blocked by something.
Rumble!
And simultaneously the ground began shaking as if to flip over.
A horde of demonic beasts hunting humans from afar, and a few demons.
Before them.
Swoosh!
When Kim Se-hyeon’s sword moved as if cutting what blocked it.
Roar!
Blood bursting like lava became a tsunami sweeping them away.
“Keong!”
“Wh-what!”
Those swept away in one strike.
Those who saw Kim Se-hyeon’s combat would say.
‘Bloody Queen.’
As the Blood Queen.
She holding a sword was more indifferent and cold than anyone.
But somehow.
Thump! Thump!
Just watching her made hearts beat and unknown emotions surge.
Kim Se-hyeon was cold fury.
Whoosh!
Several demons with three horns, wrapped in black demonic energy, came through the blood wave with demonic beasts.
Kim Se-hyeon charged forward without swinging her sword again.
Clang, clang.
Taehan began moving.
Their nature wasn’t much different from Kim Se-hyeon either.
Cold and expressionless, they were calm as if wearing masks.
Boom!
They wielded flails, battle axes, swords and such facing demonic beasts and demons.
“Keong!”
Demonic beasts couldn’t overcome Taehan.
Though they were level 300 players who couldn’t be called top-tier.
Roar!
All their combat methods and training were created to face these.
Also, fake relics made in collaboration with Gluttony and Cheoljungbae gave abilities transcending their levels and acted to overwhelm what dwelt in magic.
Boom!
They had reasons to be called priests, different from any other believers.
“H-how?”
Flustered demons were proving it.
“How can mere humans contain sin?”
That the sin implanted in them allowed them to truly ‘hunt’ demons.
Demon curses and sins didn’t work much on them.
Physical and physical, will versus will battles.
Demons and demonic beasts already fallen.
Boom! Bang! Boom!
The battle priests were finishing confirmation kills, crushing those fallen ones’ heads and hearts again.
Tremble tremble.
Behind them were trembling North Korean people.

“…Huff.”
Go Min-ji was exhaling rough breaths.
B-rank gate.
Being recognized as a ranker-level player in America meant having skills to conquer such gates without much trouble.
S-rank was a calamity appearing only a few times throughout history, and A-rank was rare enough to count, a disaster just not S-rank level.
In fact, the gate current players valued most was B-rank.
Main gates conquered by top ranker parties and major guild main attack forces.
“Insane.”
But even such B-rank gates normally required time for thorough conquest.
“Casualty, death report…”
Only 2 hours.
The time taken to conquer the B-rank gate.
“Won’t be necessary.”
Go Min-ji said with a bitter smile.
Such an impossible conquest was possible because Sanctum’s level was considerable and in full bloom, but.
It could be said to be thanks to Go Johan’s consideration.
But above all.
“What we must do is simple.”
It was because of that person opening their mouth to speak now.
“Protect the black pillars, the obelisks, hunt surrounding demons. Extract North Korean citizens.”
Lee Jae-kyung.
He could be called one of Sanctum’s legends, a player recognized worldwide.
But as he became involved with Go Johan and activities greatly lessened, he remained a legend but some also called him washed up.
‘Washed up?’
Go Min-ji wanted to ask those calling Lee Jae-kyung that.
‘Do you even have a brain?’
She was overwhelmed.
Go Min-ji holding Ograk’s twin swords had been confident she could now contend with America’s top rankers, but Lee Jae-kyung was different.
With sword sheathed he was just a scary-looking uncle, but when he drew his sword.
‘Not washed up but monstrous.’
He seemed like a terrifying monster.
Shing.
Such a man was drawing his sword again without rest.
“I’ll open the path.”
Though not as much as Go Johan, how reassuring he was.
“We too…”
“No.”
Lee Jae-kyung cut off Go Min-ji’s words.
“Please focus all efforts on citizen rescue. You’ll be better than me, raid leader.”
Suffocating demonic energy was pouring from all directions.
‘When?’
She only now realized demonic beasts and demons were already surrounding and approaching them.
That’s when.
Step.
Lee Jae-kyung’s presence disappeared as if erased from the world.
And soon.
Whoosh!
Thin thread lines appeared on surrounding demonic beasts, then they split and exploded to death.
“……”
Even so, Lee Jae-kyung’s face wasn’t satisfied.
‘I’m still far off.’
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t make sword strikes similar to Go Johan’s.
While vowing to someday achieve that, now he just swung the best sword strikes he could.
“Let’s go.”
Moving thus.
Boom!
They entered, destroying a large camp’s door.
They could tell many were hiding and watching this place.
Nod.
Lee Jae-kyung nodded toward Go Min-ji.
What should step forward here wasn’t him with a fierce appearance, but Go Min-ji who was at least beautiful in appearance.
“…I am.”
Go Min-ji stepped forward.
“Go Min-ji of Republic of Korea’s Sanctum Guild. We came here to save you.”
