Discord
Go Min-ji was usually rough, but she was an adult who knew time and place.
Gulp.
What she had to deal with now weren’t monsters to be crushed with Ograk’s twin swords, but ordinary people.
Though they were enemy nation’s citizens, she couldn’t think of even civilians as enemies.
“I am…”
Words spoken with difficulty.
“Go Min-ji of Republic of Korea’s Sanctum Guild. We came here to save you.”
She spoke carefully with a calm tone and trustworthy voice, stepping back and lowering her sword.
“……”
Those emerging one by one from the camp were greatly emaciated and filled with wariness.
‘Like abandoned puppies.’
The pity flowing from deep in her heart was needless to say a sincere emotion.
“North Korea right now… is in a very dangerous situation. We will rescue you.”
As Go Min-ji spoke.
Thud.
A stone thrown from somewhere fell at Go Min-ji’s feet.
“You bitch! Don’t lie!”
It was an aged middle-aged man.
“You expect us to believe South Korean bastards came to rescue us?”
Murmur murmur.
“South Korean bastards, you think we don’t know who caused this mess?”
So that’s how it was.
“……”
North Korea had been isolated and cut off for a long time.
The world’s most closed nation.
“I won’t be fooled by South Korean bastard tricks!”
Saying that, he was brandishing rifles apparently found from the camp’s armory.
Like South Korea maintaining conscription, North Korea also maintained conscription, she’d heard.
Also, that period was incomparably longer than South Korea’s.
Click! Click! Click!
At camp windows, people who came out, all were aiming rifles at Go Min-ji and Sanctum.
Swish.
Sanctum guild members tried to move.
“Don’t move! One step and I’ll make you a honeycomb!”
As if it wasn’t a threat.
Bang!
A bullet fell beside Go Min-ji’s foot.
He could be called a decent rifleman.
“It’s true. We, Sanctum, came to save you…”
Bang!
Another shot bullet.
“Shut up! Isn’t Sanctum that bizarre puppet group even in South Korea? There’s a witch, they said!”
Witch?
“You ugly thing, what tricks are you using to bewitch our North Korean people? I’ll definitely see what hideous face is under that mask!”
Crack.
“Just looking at those eyes, I know! Your nature is wicked, no different from a beast!”
Crack.
Veins rising on Go Min-ji’s forehead.
“Get lost! There’s not one place for South Korean puppet bastards to step in North Korea!”
That’s when.
“Haa.”
Go Min-ji exhaled deeply.
‘Go Johan.’
Rescuing North Korean citizens was important enough for Go Johan to request separately.
There must be a special reason he included Sanctum among the many he could mobilize.
She could newly feel recently how much she’d been receiving from Go Johan.
Above all.
‘He’s someone who could go further.’
Go Johan was someone with power to enforce his will more radically.
But what painful times of effort, knowing Sanctum might be the reason he couldn’t and was becoming a burden.
“Get lost!”
“Get lost!”
“South Korean puppet bastards!”
“They say there’s someone called White Ghost! That bastard caused this!”
“For the great leader, the Supreme!”
Even struggling against demons.
She couldn’t stop here.
Crunch.
Ograk’s twin swords drawn before she knew it.
At that, North Korean residents flinched and stepped back.
“Fine, let’s say you can’t help being uneducated and uninformed.”
Go Min-ji said while planting the huge greatsword in the ground.
“But I have no intention of understanding even that.”
“What are you saying? Finally showing your true colors!”
“If you stay here…”
Between the two greatswords, Go Min-ji’s eyes appeared.
Gleam.
Go Min-ji’s eyes were glistening with red madness.
“Gulp!”
Eyes powerful enough to make ordinary civilians’ souls flee just by facing them.
“You’ll be sacrificed anyway and help Johan’s enemies, right?”
“Wh-what…”
“Let’s die.”
“……?”
That moment.
“Fire!”
The man who’d been persuading North Korean residents and shooting bullets pulled the trigger in terror.
Bang!
The gun’s flame and bullet should have headed toward Go Min-ji.
“Uh?”
A huge shadow approached blocking his view, and his rifle was split in half soaring to the sky.
Then the man could see again.
Gleam.
Eyes rippling with red madness.
“Let’s all die. Just. That’s better than being sacrificed, right?”
“Aaaah!”
Ratatatatatatang!
Red flames seemed to pour.
Firearms that once changed the very concept of war and opened an era.
But reaching the age of gates and players.
Ratatatatang!
This was why they became obsolete, treated as inferior.
Bang!
Firearms were useless against players.
Especially to top-tier players like Go Min-ji.
Clang!
No different from water guns.
The rifle muzzles that fired bullets instantly were cleanly cut off.
Crash!
The camp walls where they were hiding were cut away.
Swish.
Go Min-ji looked down before her.
“Hic!”
The man who’d been shouting sat down hiccupping.
“…M-monster…”
He knew heroes were called monsters, but never thought to this extent.
Though the demonic beasts and demons attacking them were powerful, he couldn’t even properly see how they fell.
So this was the first time.
“Hic.”
But simultaneously, the man Park Chun-sik felt.
“Die? Or follow?”
Even in this situation, Go Min-ji seen up close was beautiful enough to bewitch even if called a witch.
“Gasp!”
Though swallowing his breath at Ograk’s greatsword at his throat, Park Chun-sik barely opened his mouth and voiced.
“I-I’ll follow!”
Holding back the urine about to flow seemed like the best thing Park Chun-sik did in his life.
Clang.
Go Min-ji shouldering one of Ograk’s greatswords smiled as if satisfied.
“Okay, this suits me.”
“Pardon?”
“Guide me to other residents remaining nearby. We’ll save everyone.”
Go Min-ji had the most satisfied face recently.

“You worked hard, hyung-nim.”
“You worked hard, brother.”
Yu Baek and Kim Cheon-seok also came out after finishing the B-rank gate conquest.
They had become the center of the Sanctuary Alliance based on their connection with Go Johan.
What mattered most to church forces was relationships with apostles.
Even more important was relationships with Go Johan.
“It’s a demon realm.”
“Indeed.”
Yu Baek and Kim Cheon-seok could be said sufficient to be the Sanctuary Alliance’s center.
“You know I’m always grateful to my brother, right?”
“Why suddenly again?”
“No, I mean… in modern terms what is it, I rode the bus.”
Chuckle.
Yu Baek and Kim Cheon-seok smiled at each other.
“So I mean, I’ll work hard not to burden my brother.”
“Aren’t we brothers anyway now?”
“Brothers? Good. Still, if you don’t do your part, you have to abandon even your own child. That’s reality.”
Saying that, Kim Cheon-seok went to one side caring for Sanctuary Alliance members.
It was also a pre-discussed part.
“Hurry and go. Don’t delay more, let’s part here. We seem to be latest.”
The most Sanctuary Alliance members were deployed this operation.
From the start, it was planned to operate divided in two.
“Got everything?”
“Yes.”
Kim Cheon-seok’s side especially had a secret weapon.
“Don’t worry. We’ve gotten quite strong, haven’t we?”
Kim Cheon-seok’s words were right.
Amidst demon invasion, numerous items based on demons and demonic beasts were being developed at the church.
With even Cheoljungbae joining, the church’s technology could be said to grow differently each day.
“Different from the plan but…”
Yu Baek who always prioritized plans and was rigid.
“Let’s do as hyung-nim says.”
The two sworn brothers from Buyeo could be said to resemble each other now.
“Be careful, don’t die.”
“It’s hard to die where that person is.”
“Right. That’s right.”
Kim Cheon-seok said with a smile.
“Let’s go!”
Those moving away to one side.
Remaining Yu Baek began leading the Sanctuary Alliance.
As those two moved apart, an unforgettable meeting from days ago came to mind.
-I greet the apostle.
-Seems the captain cherishes you.
The one who visited him was a figure not easily seen even among the church’s apostles.
Though Go Johan didn’t seem to think so, not one person with feet in the church thought comfortably of apostles.
They had something that couldn’t be explained by age, and also possessed something worthy of respect.
‘If that person is noble.’
Apostles are great.
One such apostle personally stepping forward to visit him was as glorious for Yu Baek as entering a Black Gate with Go Johan.
-Don’t die.
-This is?
-Originally only 100 were to be made, but I made one more. If compatible you’ll live, if not you’ll die.
Gluttony.
-Still take it?
What he handed over with sunken eyes.
-I’ll take it.
If it could help, couldn’t he throw away something like his life anytime?
What he received thus.
“Demonic beasts.”
Demonic beasts were already rushing before Yu Baek’s nose.
Until then, the Sanctuary Alliance could be called the weakest force within the church.
Same even now, but at least.
Whoosh!
Yu Baek who could be called that commander had changed.
“I’ll take the vanguard, just handle straying demonic beasts.”
“Understood, guild master.”
On Yu Baek’s sword, black flames blazed.
The flames of sin that only battle priests used.
