Discord
Whoooosh!
A fierce wind swept through the area.
“Whoa!”
Ordinary soldiers staggered, almost blown away.
Whoosh!
The massive private jet was pushed by the wind, beginning to move uncontrollably.
“It’s….”
Anton and the other players widened their eyes.
“A gate break!”
What was happening now was a gate break.
Gates appeared, players emerged.
The world had stabilized around the time large guilds appeared.
If gate breaks were accidents that occasionally happened in player-developing countries.
Whoooosh!
It was as if a gate break had opened in an airport that boasted near-perfect safety with gate break prevention devices.
“The citizens are in danger! Association members, act immediately…!”
“Secure the airport!”
Since a gate break had opened.
The sight of A-rank monsters like wyverns pouring out from the gate was like a declaration of Russia’s doom.
That’s when it happened.
Whoosh.
The wind howled again.
“Is the leader going to handle this himself?”
“That seems like the fastest way.”
A relaxed conversation from behind.
When they looked at them.
Whoosh.
Go Johan reached out his hand toward the pouring monsters.
And as he slowly rotated his hand, closing his outstretched palm.
Boom!
Even Mikhail, who wasn’t a player, could feel it.
Anton and the association members, who were players.
“……!”
They turned their heads in shock, their faces twisted in horror.
There.
Crunch!
Dozens of wyverns that had emerged from the gate were being crushed.
As if manipulating space itself, the wyverns flailed and were crushed under Go Johan’s hand gestures.
The wyverns tore at each other to survive, but even that wasn’t enough, and they eventually collided and were torn apart.
It was like.
Gulp.
The wall that had appeared in Vladivostok.
If the wall itself began to compress, all life within it would end up like that.
Splat.
As cracks formed in the compressed space, the wyverns’ blood began to pour out.
In that grotesque scene.
Crash!
The compressed wyverns fell.
An A-rank gate, with numerous players deployed to Vladivostok, could have devastated half of the nearby cities, but they were wiped out in an instant.
“Don’t we have little time?”
Go Johan’s voice.
“Let’s hurry and depart.”
“…Ah… yes.”
Anton replied blankly.
“…….”
Mikhail couldn’t even move.
As the Russian Defense Minister, he had seen the power of players countless times.
“…Baba Yaga.”
What Anton had said was true.
-They are not players.
The only ones who could help in this crisis, as he had said when persuading them.
-They’re just monsters.
Mikhail.
“I apologize again…!”
He seemed to imagine the consequences of his earlier rudeness.
But as if not caring about such things, Go Johan and Sins walked away.
Only.
“Hey! Idiot.”
The boy, no older than fifteen, muttered in Russian.
There was no rebuttal.
They were.
‘…Monsters.’
Because they were monsters.

“You’re really sinister, sis.”
On the way to the wall, Kim Si-on said to Yoon Seung-ah.
“That was your doing, right?”
The gate break at the airport.
“They say the leader is the scariest when he’s involved.”
“What? You did that, Seung-ah?”
At Kim Si-on’s words, Lee Jae-kyung’s eyes widened.
“Envy… shut up.”
“That’s harsh.”
Fortunately, only they were in the moving vehicle.
Originally, high-ranking officials like Anton were supposed to ride with them, but after what happened at the airport, they seemed too scared.
“So, did you do it, Seung-ah?”
Lee Jae-kyung asked again.
“…….”
“Uncle, don’t you know that expression? ‘They’re going to be so annoyed!’ expression… Ow!”
Envy, hit by a magic missile that flew in out of nowhere, shed a tear.
In the moving vehicle, precisely activating and suppressing such complex magic.
“Well, it’s satisfying. But try to understand them.”
Lee Jae-kyung chuckled.
“Who would believe it?”
Sins, made up of apostles, had only revealed itself less than a month ago.
Without the name of the Temple, without evidence of their success in the last Black Gate, none of this would have happened.
That these greenhorns had the power to do what no one else in the world could.
“I heard….”
Lee Jae-kyung laughed as if it were absurd.
“They’ve agreed to transfer nuclear weapons.”
Lee Jae-kyung had been with Go Johan and the apostles from the beginning.
Go Johan had never been interested in worldly affairs, and his way of thinking was fundamentally different.
‘Demons.’
Only demons and the goddess occupied his mind.
And the apostles.
“…….”
It wouldn’t be wrong to say they were completely twisted.
The apostles’ common sense was entirely different from ordinary people.
For Lee Jae-kyung, who had been an ordinary person, it was still hard to understand.
‘To them, people are….’
Probably just bugs, or something like that.
They had no sense of duty to protect, no loyalty or devotion to the nation.
Just look at Grid.
When the girl, not even ten years old, moved billions of dollars and devoured companies, how shocked had he been?
To them, it was just a game, no different from elementary school midterms.
‘Monsters.’
Lee Jae-kyung also thought that wasn’t wrong.
But.
Swoosh.
Because Go Johan was there.
Because the apostles were under Go Johan’s perfect control, moving according to his will, it was still fortunate.
“…Well, there’s only one way to stop them.”
“Uncle, what are you muttering about?”
“You be quiet too, kid.”
Meanwhile, Go Johan.
“…….”
Had his eyes closed.
Focusing his mind, he recalled the past.
-Snort.
The ten million orcs, and their chieftain.
Creak.
The vehicle stopped, and Anton approached.
“…We’ve arrived. I hope there were no inconveniences.”
Ignoring his words, Go Johan stepped out of the vehicle first.
There, thousands of players were waiting, and several times more soldiers were controlling the area.
In front of them.
Whoosh!
There was a wall.
Go Johan knew what it was.
‘Demonization.’
It meant the real invasion had begun.
“Do you need any preparations?”
Anton asked.
He couldn’t hide his urgency.
“No.”
Go Johan replied and slowly walked forward.
Yoon Seung-ah and the others followed.
Swoosh.
At Anton’s gesture, everyone waiting stepped aside to make way.
Their expressions weren’t much different from Mikhail’s at the airport.
‘What are they doing?’
‘Who are these brats?’
‘Fuck. This isn’t a joke.’
Such voices could be heard.
“I really don’t like this. Leader, can we just kill them all?”
At Kim Si-on’s words, Lee Jae-kyung pulled him back.
Meanwhile, Go Johan approached the wall.
The wall was turning black as time passed.
“A few hours ago… it became impossible to even check inside.”
As Anton spoke.
Tap.
The moment Go Johan touched the wall.
Whoooosh!
A ripple spread across the black wall, and instantly, what was inside was revealed.
There.
“Ugh!”
“W-what?”
“Fuck! These bastards-!”
It was hell.
*
*
*
The orcs were hunting people driven to the wall.
The players resisted, but their resistance was futile.
They tore off the arms of the dead and chewed on them.
Their faces were smeared with blood.
Shudder.
Green-skinned, incredibly stupid, and utterly savage.
If that was the orc in the players’ minds.
“This… this is insane!”
“Fuck these bastards! I’ll kill them all!”
In Go Johan’s mind, orcs were exactly that.
The enraged players were about to charge at the wall.
Then.
Tap.
Go Johan touched the wall again.
Whoooosh!
The Red Orcs inside exploded, and finally, they looked ‘outside.’
The people’s eyes shone with hope.
Swoosh.
The orcs cautiously stepped back.
The orcs weren’t looking at the players.
Snort, growl… crack.
Only Go Johan.
As the orcs’ lips curled menacingly.
Tap.
He tapped the wall again.
Crash!
A strike that transcended space exploded among the orcs.
Go Johan was warning them.
‘Don’t move recklessly.’
And.
‘I’m coming in.’
Perhaps they understood.
Swoosh.
The orcs lowered their weapons.
For the bloodthirsty orcs, hunting humans was just a pastime; what truly boiled their blood was fighting the strong.
In that moment, only Go Johan remained in the orcs’ minds.
“…….”
Everyone saw that scene and fell silent.
An indescribable complexity.
In the midst of it, Go Johan stepped back.
“Shall we assist?”
“No need.”
Go Johan replied to Yoon Seung-ah’s question and slowly grasped his necklace.
A black cross necklace.
[Mark of Sin]
And he closed his eyes.
This was different from the previous skirmishes.
What was about to begin was the true holy war.
‘Goddess.’
He offered one last prayer to her.
“Status window.”
As if praying, he opened his status window.
[Go Johan]
[Class: Dark Knight]
It had been a long time since he last saw it.
[Level….]
The world’s number one, said to be in the early 400s.
In his childhood, there was no need to level up.
It was the same after that.
All he needed was faith.
But after sharing sins and curses, and obtaining a total of nine player cores, Go Johan’s status window had changed.
[700]
The end of the level that no longer rose was written there.
And below it.
[Faith….]
There was faith.
Grip.
The moment he pressed the cross.
[3000]
Go Johan opened his eyes.
Creeeak-!
Part of the wall instantly shattered.
[First achievement unlocked! Acquired Domain Usurper.]
[Can destroy the entrance to the demon realm.]
[Acquired a large amount of Karma Points.]
As soon as the wall broke.
Whoooosh!
Yoon Seung-ah’s magic enveloped the orcs.
