“The leader’s warriors have arrived!”
Ryu Baek-su’s resounding shout began echoing.
“Everyone come out and give your lives to the great leader’s warriors!”
It happened before Yu Baek could even stop it.
“Colonel! What are you…”
The moment the People’s Army colonel protested to Ryu Baek-su.
Slash.
A blood-red line was drawn across that neck.
“Shut that mouth. Reactionary element who can’t even recognize the true leader.”
Bang!
Gunfire rang out.
Many soldiers were hiding here too.
At Ryu Baek-su’s sudden action, North Korean troops who lost their commander instinctively fired.
“Sweep away the reactionaries!”
Ryu Baek-su shouted.
“They needed to be cleaned out anyway. Rats sucking the people’s lifeblood.”
Yu Baek suddenly wondered.
Then why had they been saved and kept together?
“We’ll prove our loyalty.”
Ah, that was it.
They had deliberately selected some North Korean troops as sacrifices.
Sacrifices to offer Go Johan’s arriving army, and sacrifices to prove their devotion.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Gunfire rang briefly.
Whoosh.
Before long, only chilling wind whistled in their ears.
“It’s finished, Colonel comrade.”
One appearing to be from Pyongyang Guard approached Ryu Baek-su and bowed.
“Good work. Not greeting that person when White Ghost… no, when that person came to Pyongyang was an eternal regret.”
Saying that, Ryu Baek-su looked at Yu Baek.
“Please hurry. Many in the Guard already share our will.”
Ordinary citizens began appearing one by one.
They had a different appearance from North Korean troops.
“We-we greet the leader comrade’s warriors.”
This hadn’t happened in a short time.
‘How long?’
Yu Baek could be certain they’d been sharing will and gathering comrades for quite some time.
“…You’ve worked hard.”
Even Yu Baek had to praise them.
“Not at all.”
“Do you know other citizens’ shelters nearby?”
“Of course.”
Grin.
Ryu Baek-su smiled awkwardly.
Though a colonel, whether because North Korea’s situation was so poor or their treatment neglected, his thin and short frame looked both solid and pitiful.
“Fire.”
At Ryu Baek-su’s words.
Boom!
Fireworks burst as if waiting.
“Comrades were each waiting for signals. Those meeting the guard first would give the signal.”
Boom! Boom!
Fireworks launched together from multiple places as if waiting.
“Everyone will gather at the assembly point.”
And Yu Baek knew what to do.
“Supply these people with items!”
Pyongyang Guard, their levels seemed higher than expected.
The price of monopolizing few gates with small numbers, squeezed dry in conquest, but their equipment was terrible.
Most obtained items were clearly given to party high officials or exchanged for dollars through black markets.
“Th-these are?”
Items given to them.
Things that looked special at a glance.
“Please check the information window.”
“U-unique…! F-first time seeing one!”
Could even such strong people not have possessed unique-grade items?
“Church supplies. Also called replica relics.”
“……!”
“Their power amplifies against demons and demonic beasts, so it’ll be even easier.”
Ryu Baek-su’s and Pyongyang Guard’s eyes receiving equipment sparkled.
Yu Baek too.
‘So that’s why you packed so many spare items.’
The moment he confirmed the use of overflowing replica relics supplied.
“Let’s hurry.”
“Let’s!”
Another group formed, beginning to move to rescue North Korean residents.

Boom!
Fireworks shooting outside.
“So that’s how it went.”
Kim Cheon-seok could infer the general situation through surrounding changes.
Bursting fireworks, demonic beasts and demons’ movements gathering somewhere.
Boom!
Fierce battle sounds from all directions.
Kim Cheon-seok had no outstanding points, but his experience was abundant.
“Thanks, brother.”
Kim Cheon-seok smiling toward where Yu Baek would be.
“Came comfortably thanks to you.”
Kim Cheon-seok and his group could be called the weakest.
Fewer in number than Yu Baek, individuals’ skills not outstanding.
But Kim Cheon-seok and his group.
-Please? Grandpa?
Had been receiving special training from Kim Si-on recently.
Though an absurdly young kid, couldn’t be ignored.
Moreover, occupying a position in Sanctuary Alliance and being recognized as a member.
-I also ask you.
Kim Cheon-seok sincerely recognized and respected the apostles.
Rather, it was even more possible because Kim Cheon-seok could be called an elderly man.
‘They’re different.’
The apostles’ outer appearance was just a shell.
What dwelt within was something transcendent that age couldn’t measure, shouldn’t be judged by such things.
Thanks to that.
Swish.
Kim Cheon-seok and his group had mastered covert operations.
Focusing on stealth movement to make up for lacking combat power, forged to perform secret missions.
Though not yet perfect.
Boom!
In such chaotic times, lacking skills could shine considerably.
“Grrr.”
If not demons but mere demonic beasts.
Slash!
No need to even fear opponents.
“Who’s there!”
If players, even less need to fear.
Unlike Go Johan’s silver-glossy hair, when white-haired Kim Cheon-seok bleached white with years bent his waist.
Flash.
His eyes flashed.
Shing.
Simultaneously Kim Cheon-seok could occupy the appearing player’s back and point a dagger at that neck.
“Heh, changing weapons makes it still unfamiliar.”
Though Kim Cheon-seok said with a good-natured smile.
Drip.
The player held by the neck only broke cold sweat, gripped by death’s terror.
“Don’t want to see blood unnecessarily.”
At Kim Cheon-seok’s words, hope’s light appeared in the player’s pupils.
However.
Slash!
Kim Cheon-seok’s dagger unhesitatingly cut through the player’s neck.
“Can’t let you folks live!”
Kim Cheon-seok said while confirming the kill.
“Guarding this place means you’re not ordinary people.”
Indeed.
Squirm.
Something demonic crawled from the clearly killed enemy’s body.
Crunch!
Kim Cheon-seok who stomped it dead began moving, assimilating into darkness again.
Whirr! Whirrrr!
Even siren sounds ringing to burst eardrums were just noise to hide their footsteps.

The place Kim Cheon-seok was assigned.
“What kind of building is this complicated.”
Without increased magic and sharpened senses from elixirs, training, and leveling up, he’d still be lost and wandering.
Writhe.
The building Kim Cheon-seok infiltrated seemed alive.
And that meant he infiltrated the right place well, also meaning Kim Cheon-seok’s mission was important.
“I’ll enter alone.”
When Kim Cheon-seok told his companions, they silently hid in shadows.
They would risk their lives protecting him while Kim Cheon-seok completed his mission.
Whirr, whirr.
The space Kim Cheon-seok entered was extremely bizarre.
A feast of electronic equipment seeming to defy the era, large screens filled with strange language in Korean but hard to read.
Beep, beep.
People touching those devices as if possessed.
Swish.
When Kim Cheon-seok assimilated with darkness again.
Whoosh!
Blood streams spurted from their necks.
Swoosh!
Then tentacles flying from somewhere rushed at Kim Cheon-seok’s heart.
Snap!
Kim Cheon-seok stepping back, swinging his dagger.
Extended tentacles were diced and fell to the floor.
But.
Swoosh!
Even from fallen debris tentacles extended, so Kim Cheon-seok seemed to have nowhere to retreat.
Gurgle.
What emerged from blood was a two-horned demon.
Stab!
Pierced Kim Cheon-seok stuck to the wall.
“Kugh!”
Coughing blood.
Though fortunately avoiding vitals, the demon’s tentacles were so hard he couldn’t easily escape.
“A lowly human.”
Incomprehensible language connected as meaning, piercing into his head.
“I’ll tear you apart for my meal.”
Meanwhile Kim Cheon-seok could see.
That demon covered and controlled all electronic equipment here with tentacles.
Grin.
Kim Cheon-seok smiled.
“Does a lowly creature whose extinction is imminent smile at this moment?”
The demon approached Kim Cheon-seok slowly.
What seemed a tongue, that long thing pouring from its mouth, rushed to lick Kim Cheon-seok.
Kim Cheon-seok closing his eyes briefly.
-I like you, grandpa.
Kim Si-on’s voice seemed to echo.
-So I’ll tell you.
Was it because his grandson came to mind, treating Kim Si-on as something more than just an apostle?
Kim Si-on who showed him kindness gave a gift.
-One of my original skills even the captain doesn’t know well.
That’s when.
Whoosh!
When Kim Cheon-seok opened his eyes, that view switched.
Clearly the demon was approaching before Kim Cheon-seok.
“……?”
The demon’s back appeared before Kim Cheon-seok’s eyes.
-Shadow swap. Maybe grandpa can do it?
The moment that skill he failed at repeatedly activated for Kim Cheon-seok now.
Stab!
Kim Cheon-seok unhesitatingly stabbed a dagger into the demon’s back of head and twisted.
If it were a normal item, even unique grade couldn’t inflict fatal damage on demons.
But this was a replica relic made by the church.
Whoosh!
The demon with a huge hole in its back of head teetered and scattered.
“Gasp, gasp…”
He hunted a demon alone for the first time.
Even a two-horned demon.
But.
“…Must hurry.”
Kim Cheon-seok’s heart wasn’t racing but calmly settled.
That was Kim Cheon-seok’s nature and the talent Kim Si-on saw.
Swish.
He took out the secret weapon given to him.
