Although he said they would select personnel for conquering the S-class Gate, it was actually closer to a notification.
It was something he had already anticipated, and the candidates for it were already prepared.
“What the hell are you doing?”
A voice that sounded exasperated.
But before Go Johan could answer.
“It’s been a while since I greeted you.”
Yoon Seung-Ah, wearing a mask, greeted her.
“Huh…?”
Go Min-Ji pretended to be flustered.
The masked woman – she had definitely seen her at the Mapo Black Gate.
And she had been thinking about it since then.
“…As I thought!”
A memory came to mind.
When Go Johan was in middle school, she had participated in an Association operation to rescue those who had been kidnapped along with Kim Da-Yeon.
“That person from back then!”
In the Terako Guild incident, the woman wearing a crow mask.
-I know you’re looking for the kidnapped person.
It was that voice.
A voice and appearance that was clearly extraordinary, yet familiar.
“…Wow, that bastard really has no end when you keep digging.”
Then didn’t that mean Go Johan had intervened in that incident as well?
“I apologize for not being able to reveal my face and greet you properly due to circumstances.”
“Oh, no!”
Go Min-Ji waved her hands as she spoke.
“I should be grateful that you’ve been by my lacking younger brother’s side.”
At Go Min-Ji’s way of speaking, Go Johan scowled.
Glare.
Go Min-Ji glared at such Go Johan for a moment, but she couldn’t continue like that with Yoon Seung-Ah in front of her.
“…Thank you for before.”
“…Hm? Before?”
“I still keep the scarf you gave me back then safe.”
“……”
Go Min-Ji tilted her head, not understanding what this meant.
“Then I’ll take my leave.”
Yoon Seung-Ah would not be participating this time.
It was because she was moving with Gluttony to install another entrance and exit for the Warp Gate that needed to connect in both directions.
After Yoon Seung-Ah disappeared.
“Ah…!”
Go Min-Ji finally seemed to realize and exclaimed.
Whoosh!
Go Min-Ji looking at the place where Yoon Seung-Ah had disappeared.
“That person was….”
There was one thing she remembered from long ago.
Johan Church and the orphanage that Go Johan had frequented more than home since entering elementary school.
She remembered a girl around her age that she had met at that place where she had gone with her mother.
A girl who sat blankly looking at the sky on a snowy day.
-It’s cold.
Back then, Go Min-Ji had offered her own scarf.
“Holy shit… crazy.”
Could it be that the girl from back then had grown up and was showing such abilities now?
“…You’re causing a commotion right after arriving.”
At Go Johan’s words as he approached at some point, Go Min-Ji also scowled.
“How could I not? Suddenly there’s all this fuss about Warp Gates and whatnot, and even if I let that slide, I didn’t know when Sanctum got mixed up in all this.”
“Noona hasn’t been doing guild work for long.”
“…What, even mom and dad seemed not to know.”
Go Johan smiled bitterly.
As Go Min-Ji said, it wasn’t something he had asked permission for.
“Well, it was a huge success so it’s fine. Noona’s assets increased over thirty times. No wait, the last time I checked was thirty times, so who knows what it is now. Is there anything you want to eat?”
Making such expressions while talking like a neighborhood thug.
“Min-Ji. People are watching. Please show some restraint.”
Then Go Woo-Jin stepped forward to stop Go Min-Ji.
“What does it matter?”
Go Min-Ji and Go Woo-Jin.
And three raid parties from Sanctum.
The familiar Director Han Su-Ah was also there.
“Anyway, what have you been doing? I heard there was another unmeasurable Gate that appeared in South Korea, and from the looks of it….”
All of them looked in one direction.
Wooong.
A blue, no, grayish Gate that was rippling.
“It was your doing.”
An S-class Gate was there.

The raid parties that would conquer this together were three raid parties from Sanctum.
The 1st raid party with Go Woo-Jin as raid leader.
The 7th raid party with Han Su-Ah as raid leader.
The 10th raid party with Go Min-Ji newly appointed as raid leader were exactly those protagonists.
“So we have to conquer that for the Warp Gate thing to work properly.”
Go Min-Ji nodded after hearing the explanation.
“The Gate we have to conquer is S-class, or maybe even higher.”
“That’s right.”
“That’s right? Are you crazy?”
Go Min-Ji scowled as she spoke.
“With this many people, you want to conquer an S-class?”
It was something that didn’t make sense by common standards.
However.
“Hah, well since you’re the one saying to do it. I guess you must be confident.”
She soon acknowledged and stepped back.
Go Min-Ji wasn’t stupid enough to ignore what she had seen and experienced.
She was just a bit instinctual.
But that instinct was telling her.
‘Really… this is ridiculous.’
That Go Johan was a more immeasurable monster than that S-class Gate rippling over there.
“Alright. I’ve heard the general story and came prepared, but I don’t know if it’s enough.”
Go Woo-Jin said.
“Is there more we need to know?”
Go Woo-Jin also had a calm reaction.
“We’ve prepared everything on our side, so you just need to bring yourselves.”
At Go Johan’s words, Go Woo-Jin simply nodded.
Unlike Go Min-Ji who spoke casually, Go Woo-Jin had a difficult side like Go Jae-Han.
It would be more comfortable for the other person if he complained like Go Min-Ji, but that gaze filled with infinite trust and responsibility was still unfamiliar.
“What about your side then? From what I saw earlier… that person who does magic doesn’t seem to be going.”
Go Min-Ji asked.
She seemed curious about those who could be called Go Johan’s forces.
“One more person will go.”
Go Johan said with a bitter smile.
“Really? Where are they?”
“Well….”
In Go Johan’s head.
-There was no talk about this!
The voice of someone who had been shouting since earlier kept being heard.
The church representative who was supposed to go together had already arrived long ago.
‘What exactly don’t you like about this?’
But they were throwing a tantrum without revealing themselves.
-Take Si-On!
‘No. You know Si-On went to clean up the Black Crown and Russian mafia side.’
-Then Ha-Yeon!
‘She’s the busiest one?’
-In-Kyung… wouldn’t work.’
Ju In-Kyung still couldn’t perfectly control her own power.
Even with the apostles together, she would often go berserk, and even with Go Johan present, she wasn’t at a level to participate in a raid with Sanctum.
-Ah!
A voice as if something had occurred to them.
‘You know Se-Hyeon is busy too, right?’
-Hah!
Kim Se-Hyeon had re-entered Korea while Go Johan was imprisoned in the Black Room.
And she was currently spending one of the busiest times.
In the end, only one remained.
And only one person who got along best with Sanctum.
Swish.
Suddenly the shadows rippled, and Go Min-Ji and Go Woo-Jin also looked surprised.
It was different from Yoon Seung-Ah’s magic – the presence when revealing oneself from stealth.
“…Jae-Kyung ajeossi?”
“Haha! Everyone… it’s been a while.”
Lee Jae-Kyung, he revealed himself.
“Ajeossi, did you learn assassin skills too?”
That couldn’t be, it was just a trick made possible thanks to awakening the essence of mana even more.
‘Sanctum.’
It was just a technique made possible thanks to containing part of the essence of the power Go Johan possessed in his body.
And then.
“Equipment check… hm?”
Han Su-Ah, who had been talking with raid members on one side, looked this way.
“…Lee Jae-Kyung.”
Then immediately a smile like an evil spirit spread across her face.
“Hah, damn it….”
Lee Jae-Kyung said with his head hung low.
*
*
*
“Lee Jae-Kyung!”
“Noona! Stop following me!”
“Why the hell do you ignore my calls!”
“No!”
A game of tag happening on one side.
“Please stop.”
At Go Johan’s voice, that game of tag finally stopped.
Lee Jae-Kyung quickly approached and stood as if hiding behind Go Johan, and Han Su-Ah clicked her tongue regretfully and stood with Sanctum.
‘I am curious though.’
He was definitely curious about the relationship between Lee Jae-Kyung and Han Su-Ah.
He thought Lee Jae-Kyung hid almost nothing from him, but he was particularly reticent only about stories related to Han Su-Ah, so it was inevitable that curiosity would arise.
‘Oh goddess.’
Please forgive this knight who is interested in such trivial gossip.
Well, whatever that was about.
“In one hour, we will enter the Gate.”
Go Johan declared entry into the Gate.
Sanctum’s raid parties were all professionals among professionals.
“……”
The light atmosphere became serious as if it had never been that way, and they changed their expressions and regulated their breathing.
Go Min-Ji and Go Woo-Jin were the same.
And.
“These are items to be distributed before this conquest.”
When Go Johan gestured, a huge crack appeared in the air.
It wasn’t a Gate but an inventory, one of a player’s authorities, expanded further with Yoon Seung-Ah’s magic.
Small boxes poured out from within like a waterfall.
“What’s this?”
“Since you are Sanctum’s raid members, I believe you must have heard of them.”
Association members and Sanctuary Alliance members who were helping with Gate defense distributed the boxes to Sanctum.
“They are elixirs.”
“…!”
Go Min-Ji and Go Woo-Jin’s faces also lit up.
“Elixirs? You mean those elixirs?”
Recently, it was something that ranker-level players couldn’t not know about.
The elixirs that Goldian had officially started selling.
Even before that, these items that had secretly circulated only among a small number of players were so amazing that it was difficult to put a price on them.
“…Items that raise basic stats.”
Items that raise a player’s basic stats.
“You can open them.”
At Go Johan’s words.
Click.
Go Min-Ji was the first to open a box.
Inside were about ten pill-like things with different colors.
“Clinical trials have been conducted several times, and these are items with no side effects. The stats that increase differ by color, and the numerical values are also different. From F-grade elixirs….”
Go Johan said.
There had been news that a C-grade elixir was sold to a Middle Eastern tycoon for hundreds of billions.
“Up to A-grade. Not enough to provide to everyone – A-grade only up to raid leader level. B-grade only up to sub-raid leader level.”
Just with that.
Murmur murmur.
Sanctum’s raid members, who wouldn’t be surprised by most things, were whispering.
But this was only the beginning, something they would soon have to realize.
