“…I didn’t even think you would be seriously injured.”
“…That crazy bastard?”
Go Min-Ji spat out curses at Go Johan as if dumbfounded.
But what could she do, it was the truth.
“However, I’m grateful.”
“……”
There had been something his mother said.
‘You can trust all those who are sent to you.’
Of course, it wasn’t easy to completely trust ordinary people who hadn’t been touched by Greed.
But he would try to trust them.
What he hoped for from them was.
“What I hope for is just that you don’t die.”
“…!”
“And that you can protect someone standing beside you.”
In that sense.
“You didn’t die, did you? You pass.”
Sanctum passes.
“……”
The raid members’ gazes deepened.
“I don’t know if you’re cursing… or praising…”
Go Min-Ji’s dumbfounded voice.
“Of course, I intend to somehow fill in the parts that are still woefully lacking. That’s why I brought you this far.”
Then Lee Jae-Kyung approached and stood beside Go Johan.
“For us…”
Grin.
“It’s just something very familiar.”
“How are you going to fill it in?”
Go Woo-Jin asked.
“…Bus, I guess? Carry? Something like that. Anyway.”
At Go Johan’s words, Go Woo-Jin chuckled.
“Impossible.”
Not because he was dismissing Go Johan.
“With your abilities, you could hunt giants without any trouble, and the players participating in combat would also gain a certain amount of experience and level up.”
That was definitely one of the methods that had been prevalent in the past, called bus or carry.
High-level players accelerating the growth of low-level players.
“But there are clear limits to the levels you can raise with such methods, and the side effects are no joke.”
Stats increase through leveling up.
But because of the lack of experience, they become unable to adapt to their increased level.
The greater this gap became, the more players would become empty shells with only high levels.
“It’s the same now.”
Go Woo-Jin said as he approached Go Johan.
“Thanks to you, we ate elixirs and our stats exploded, which is certainly a happy thing. But our bodies can’t keep up.”
The problem was experiencing too much growth at once.
“If it weren’t for that, we wouldn’t have had this many injured.”
Physical abilities and mana had suddenly changed completely, and it was natural that the coordination they had built up until now would break.
Things like mana formations also required balance, but the balance had been disrupted without any countermeasures.
He wasn’t blaming Go Johan.
He was trying to explain.
“I know.”
But Go Johan spoke as if it were obvious.
“And…”
“You don’t need to worry.”
Lee Jae-Kyung stepped forward as if it were nothing and said.
“The two of us here…”
Grin.
Lee Jae-Kyung smiled again and said.
“Are experts in that area.”
“…?”
And then.
“Aaaaaaaah!”
True hell began.

Why wouldn’t Go Johan know what Go Woo-Jin had said?
It wasn’t limited to players. Just because you give a child a sword doesn’t mean they can suddenly face an adult.
They had to learn how to wield that sword and get used to it.
That’s why, unlike the past, current players very calculatedly raised their levels and adjusted accordingly.
In the long run, that was more beneficial.
And players who grew that way had big differences even at the same level.
And.
“Aaaaaaaah!”
As Lee Jae-Kyung said, Go Johan and Lee Jae-Kyung were experts in that regard.
The reason the Church, Temple, and Go Johan’s forces could grow rapidly.
Kwaang!
Special items including elixirs?
Or.
Bang!
The infinitely generated gates in the church basement?
Of course, all of that would be reasons.
“You don’t need to worry.”
Go Johan.
That existence was the reason.
Go Johan entered gates with assigned players once a week.
The gates they entered were always at least one level, and up to three levels above the players’ level.
Wasn’t it dangerous?
Swish.
Life-threatening crises were saved by Go Johan and the apostles.
The giant’s arm that was falling toward Go Woo-Jin’s head bounced and staggered at Go Johan’s casually extended touch.
And then.
“Kuaaak!”
Injuries that would end up as considerable wounds were just left alone.
Players swept away by the giant’s fist had their legs bent grotesquely and their chests caved in.
But.
“Kugh, kughuk…!”
They were alive.
That was enough.
After the battle had been going on for a while, Go Johan stepped forward.
Go Johan stepped on the ground and reached out to grasp.
Woooong! Kwadeuk!
Space was torn away entirely, and the giants’ flesh poured down like hail.
The wounded giants.
Wooooooo!
Began to retreat while making soul-shaking cries.
“Huff, huff…”
It was the same appearance as before.
Injured, mana depleted, exhausted to their limits, they had collapsed in a state of exhaustion.
And when Go Johan approached such Sanctum players.
Flinch.
They cowered while looking at Go Johan with faces more terrifying than the giants.
“It’s okay.”
They wanted to shout at Go Johan who said that.
‘It’s not okay!’
Like reaching toward the giants, hands reached toward the players.
Even though they knew there was no attack intent whatsoever.
Saaaaa!
This intense light was more painful than anything.
“Aah…!”
And also sacred.
“……”
Go Woo-Jin examined his body as if he couldn’t believe it.
The pain in his arm that had been cracked by the giant’s attack had disappeared.
On one side, a player’s broken leg was being restored to its original state.
“…This… fuck…”
Go Min-Ji’s cursing could be heard.
“Damn… perfectly fine…”
Go Min-Ji, who already had good recovery, stood up trembling and said.
Go Johan.
“Really… phew!”
The youngest of Sanctum, who the word monster wasn’t enough to describe, possessed not only that intense power but also healing abilities that were said to be few in the world.
Could that be just healing abilities?
Scratches were healed in the blink of an eye.
It took less than a few seconds for a broken arm to reattach.
Even.
“Thank you…! Thank you!”
Arms that had fallen off regenerated.
“……”
Trembling eyes, those who had tasted that miracle seemed about to burst into tears from an indescribable intoxication.
“Huuk.”
Soon they began to shed tears of a different meaning.
Clap!
Go Johan clapped his hands together making a clapping sound.
Just 5 minutes after the battle with the giants ended.
“Let’s do this energetically.”
The time for hunting had returned.
Swish!
Compressed air from his waving hand struck the retreating giants.
The giants who had been returning thinking the battle was over began to look back at this place and approach again due to the dull pain.
Surely they were monsters without even intelligence.
‘Already?’
For some reason, they seemed to have such faces.
‘…Again?’
For some reason, they seemed to have such faces.
“Cheer up!”
These were players who had felt trembling at Go Johan’s actions.
These were people who didn’t understand when he called himself a villain.
But they could feel it keenly.
“…Villain.”
Go Johan was undoubtedly a villain.
“A great villain.”
And a great villain at that.

How arduous it had been.
“Crazy…! My strength stat increased…”
“I, I… my agility went up.”
Growth stats that were said to rarely increase except in low-level sections had gone up.
“Ha, hahaha.”
Players who were laughing as if in disbelief had faces that couldn’t tell if they were happy or sad.
But what was certain was.
Clench.
They could feel themselves getting stronger.
It felt like they were adapting little by little to the increased stats.
The degree of injury was decreasing, and the frequency was reducing.
The duration of battles with giants was gradually increasing, even if only little by little.
Saaaa!
It was all thanks to Go Johan.
No matter how powerful a player was, they didn’t want to die or become disabled.
That’s why current era players were those who established solid strategies against certain enemies and responded calmly.
But when fighting together with Go Johan.
Clench.
They didn’t need to worry about such things.
Primitive.
Truly going back, meaning they could pour out their abilities completely.
Of course, it was easier said than done.
No matter how great a player was, the pain of broken bones was the same, and the despair of approaching death was extreme.
Bodies stiffened and hearts trembled.
But to something they thought they’d never get used to.
“……”
They were getting used to it.
“Is this that thing?”
“What?”
“You know, like crusaders. God protects us!”
“Fanatics?”
Kuk, kukuk. Laughter could be heard.
“Fight against them! Honestly, I really feel like I could do that.”
And they were becoming intoxicated with that madness.
During a long-awaited break, that’s when it happened.
“Ah, noona!”
“Let’s have a match!”
On one side, Lee Jae-Kyung and Han Su-Ah were playing tag again.
The fact that they could do that meant Sanctum had gained quite a bit of leeway.
“Why are those two enemies?”
Go Johan muttered as if to himself.
Since it was a side of Lee Jae-Kyung he hadn’t seen before, it was both funny and curious.
“Are you really asking because you don’t know?”
Then, Go Min-Ji, who had finished a simple meal, approached and said.
“What?”
“Jae-Kyung ajeossi and Director Han. Are you asking because you don’t know?”
“…?”
“You really don’t know.”
Huh, Go Min-Ji shook her head as if dumbfounded.
“They dated.”
“…?”
“Director Han’s first love was Jae-Kyung ajeossi, and it was the same for Jae-Kyung ajeossi.”
“What, really?”
Go Johan also widened his eyes at this story he was hearing for the first time.
“Why did they break up?”
Then, Go Min-Ji looked at Go Johan.
Her gaze seemed to be saying this.
‘How exactly should I handle this?’
If Go Johan had been weaker than Go Min-Ji.
“Can’t I just punch him once?”
“……”
She really seemed like she would have hit him once.
“…That’s fortunate.”
“What now?”
“Seung-Ah, was it?”
He had briefly talked with Go Min-Ji about Sloth, Yoon Seung-Ah.
“I thought Seung-Ah was In-Kyung’s mother.”
Go Johan also thought, should I really hit her?
