Jisoo Baek chewed his lips nervously.

‘Too late….’

It’s been a while since I sent the telepathy, but there is no change in the barrier.

What could have happened?

I thought about sending the telepathy again, but I gave up.

The telepathy connected to Kim Yi-jin is a one-way street, so even if you can talk to him from this side, you won’t get an answer.

If he was at an important juncture now, he could have been rather hindered.

If I had known this, I would have taught you how to use telepathy.

Regret is always too late, so Baek Ji-soo just hoped for Kim I-jin’s safety.

“Isn’t it too late?”

Yoon Seo-hee must have felt Baek Ji-soo’s anxiety as well, and her voice was full of anxiety.

However, there is no way I can say anything in return. Baek Ji-su was also vaguely assuming the worst.

Yoon Seo-hee nervously pulled her golden silk from her scabbard.

“I can’t. I can’t wait any longer.”

“Yoon Seo-hee?”

Thinking of what might have gone wrong inside Kim Yi-jin made her nervous with anxiety and couldn’t stay still.

I give up waiting for the barrier to weaken.

Right now, I will break the barrier with all my might. Yoon Seo-hee made up her mind like that.

‘Wait a minute. I’m leaving now!’

Quaaah! Tsunami-like magic overflowed from Yoon Seo-hee’s heart. The violent fluctuations of her mana clearly touched Baek Ji-soo’s spirit.

‘I just got stronger. At this level, her magic might soon surpass the S rank wall….’

It was a result that far exceeded the growth rate Baek Ji-soo initially expected.

I never thought I’d become this strong even though I couldn’t help much as a returner.

At this level, he might soon reach the level he had before returning.

Is this the talent of the last Auror user before the return? Or did Kim Yi-jin’s survival have a more positive effect on Yoon Seo-hee than her supposed death?

Yoon Seo-hee’s eyes shone brightly in brilliant gold under the influence of her magical power.

“Haaa… !!”

Her electric current bounced restlessly at her feet. Her thunderbolt stem, which had been split into a hundred pieces, split into a thousand pieces and swayed within Yoon Seo-hee’s sword.

She lowers her body as if she is going to be shot in front of her at any moment, and prepares for her season.

That was the moment. I could feel the dense concentration of demonic energy in the barrier surrounding the exhibition hall was fading.

“… ! Yoon Seo-hee!”

“I know!”

Kim Yi-jin succeeded! A blush appeared on the faces of the two of them.

However, the work to be done has not changed. If he succeeds, he just breaks the barrier with all his might, just as he succeeded!

The moment Yoon Seo-hee stepped out of her front foot with her lightning wrapped around her, her body was shot in front of her, leaving a long afterimage.

The light flashed and the sound followed belatedly.

Kwurreung!! Thunder roared a thousand times, making the air roar.

Yoon Seo-hee’s unique season.

Chun Lei (千雷).

“aaa!!”

A golden orchid flew along with a thousand lightning bolts and pierced the front door of the exhibition hall.

The heat of the tremendous electric current melted the entire iron door, and Yoon Seo-hee entered the exhibition hall with the sound of the barrier breaking like glass.

The shattered door hung precariously on its hinges, until eventually even the hinges crumbled and the half-melted iron door lay like garbage on the floor.

Kudangtang! With that sound, the gate filling the walls on all sides quickly shrank and disappeared as a dot.

“That, that… The gate disappears!”

“The entrance is open! It’s a reinforcement! Whoaaa!!”

Calls of hope are filled in the hall where despair prevailed due to the swarming monsters and the gates that could not be closed.

With or without it, Yoon Seo-hee looked around and found Kim Yi-jin.

“Lee Jin-ah!”

However, it was the titans of Titan who escaped the gate and were still nearby to greet Yoon Seo-hee.

“Quooooo!”

“Cheer up!”

“Profit… Stop interfering and get out!”

She had only a small amount of magic power, but it didn’t matter to Yoon Seo-hee to slaughter a C-class monster at most.

She raised her golden egg and leaped as swiftly as her cat, decapitating a giant much larger than herself.

Chack! When she cut off the head of one, she jumped on the corpse as a platform and slashed the head of the other, jumping like that as she slashed the giant, all the eyes of those around her saw nothing but flashes of lightning.

“It’s S-class! The S-class Hunter has arrived!”

Someone shouted in joy at the sight of him breaking the barrier and slaughtering the monster with ease.

“What!? S-class?”

“Fuck! Lived! I’m alive now!”

Yoon Seo-hee is an academy student, let alone an S-class hunter, but it didn’t matter to them, who were starving for her hopes.

For them, it was more important that a Hunter who looked like an S-rank came to support, and that he was showing great success now.

“Mandible, mandible… !”

No matter what people say, Yoon Seo-hee slaughtered all the giants, and she let out a short breath.

Baek Ji-soo, who came along later, tried to say something, but was first surprised by the sight around him.

‘This many monsters, in such a short period of time….’

Even with the status, using it in actual battle depends on your own combat sense and experience.

She has never experienced actual combat with monsters, and without proper combat training, no matter how high her stats are and how strong her skills are, she is just a strong child.

However, Yoon Seo-hee didn’t have much practical experience, but she caught a lot of monsters in an instant with her own sense.

Like a seasoned hunter who has experienced the Tower many times. It was only then that people mistook him for an S-class.

“Baek Ji Soo! What about Lee Jin?”

“That way. Follow.”

Baek Ji-soo walked with Yoon Seo-hee towards the coordinates he had seen beforehand.

The closer she got to him, the more nervousness grew in her heart.

The closer we got to the center, the more hunters and civilians in the rear. The blonde-haired woman leading the group, Yuna Kla Proth, greeted the two with a bright expression on her back, carrying her sniper rifle.

“Nice to meet you. S-class Hunter. I’m Yuna Cloprot. Excuse me, but what is your name… Uh?”

Yuna recognized Baek Ji-soo’s face and widened her eyes. Why is this man here who should be underground? It was the expression.

However, Yoon Seo-hee had no time to care about other people.

“Get out of the way!”

“Bee, get out of the way? What you said to me now… ?”

The two of them continued walking, passing Yuna with a bewildered expression. Eventually, Baek Ji-soo stopped walking at some point and pointed at his floor.

“Here. Can you cut this floor?”

“No problem!”

A vivid golden aura rose from Yoon Seo-hee’s sword. With Aura’s cutting power, cutting the floor wasn’t even a problem.

Seo Geng, Seo Geng! The thick bottom cracked like tofu. The square-shattered floor thumped down, and the two of them jumped into the basement without hesitation.

I was dreaming.

A world in pieces.

A red moon floating in the dark sky.

I was fighting someone on a desolate land where not a single bit of life was felt.

A gigantic gigantic evil that seemed to cover the sky. The being was radiating a god-like majesty all over the place.

Fighting against such an existence, I shouted and rushed at it with all my might, not at all discouraged.

The sky cracked with every punch I took, and the ground cracked with every step I took.

A battle between two beings that seems to destroy the whole world.

The battle of risking each other’s lives and clashing everything continued for more than tens of days. The sky here is always the same, so I can’t tell the passage of time, but at least that’s what I felt.

In the meantime, I was gradually being pushed back.

Even if I stretch out my fist, I can’t reach it. Its existence is so far away. It’s so mighty.

I’m sure I’ll die at this rate, but I’ve been fighting against that existence without breaking.

No, this is not me.

Whose dream am I watching?

The man in the dream prepares the final blow against a god-like being.

Even though the power is being raised, the atmosphere vibrates and the surrounding scenery shakes like a haze due to the distortion of magical power.

A blow he poured his all into. That moment when all you have to do is stretch out your fist.

A spear shot from somewhere pierced the man’s back.

Not one or two. Dozens or hundreds of spears pierced the man’s body mercilessly.

The man still moved his arm at the sight of such a horrifying sight that anyone would have thought he was dead.

Certainly, hundreds of troops rushed at him. In my dream I knew they were demons.

The man was laughing at the last moment even as his arms and legs were torn by the devil. He smiled and raised his fist towards the sky.

The fist held no energy, but it was still extended towards the evil.

“Keep it off!!”

After seeing that, I woke up from my dream.

As soon as I opened my eyes, the pain as if my heart was being ripped out… Uh? No pain?

“What?”

I checked the wound on my chest with a blank expression. There are still clearly visible holes in the clothes, but I can’t see where the wounds and the blood that has been spilled have gone. The floor was also clean.

Your heart must have been pierced.

At that moment, I heard a loud laugh in my head.

[“Kuhahahahaha!! Body! It is the body!”]

A man’s laughter can be heard from somewhere.

I heard that in my mouth too.

“Crazy, what?!”

I just spoke the voice in my head.

Frightened, he raises his body. However, there was no sign of popularity around.

The voice was still playing in my head.

[“How many bodies is this? Blood! Death! Female! And struggle!”]

A man who builds a madhouse filled with pleasure and joy. No, me

I, no, someone who occupied my body clenched their fists, looked up at the sky, and smiled like a madman.

I was startled and raised my voice so that the man could hear it.

“Who are you! Who is talking in my head?”

[“Huh? What is it, did the original owner of the body still remain? What happened human. Hand over to me obediently.”]

“To turn over the body? I’m crazy?”

[“Khehehehe! Your will doesn’t matter. After all, this body is mine now.”]

A man with an evil smile and a funny expression. That was my face

I kept changing my facial expression and tone as I spoke like a madman.

[“Whoops. I can smell the struggle from above. Ha ha! I can’t miss a place like that! I’ll hit them all and kill them!”]

In a man’s body… Black demonic energy raged from my body. Magi instantly revitalizes my body. And the man jumped lightly toward the ceiling.

“No!”

The man wanted to run, and I didn’t want to.

Kudangtang! The two wills collided and the body leaned forward.

[“What the fuck!”]

The man with his head on the ground excitedly shouted in a ferocious voice.

[“Human! Do not disturb!”]

“Shut up, I can’t go…” !”

Up above, people are still barely holding out against the monsters.

And this man said he was going to beat everyone to death now. I don’t know why, but I felt it was the truth. He really meant to kill whatever was up there.

Be it monsters or people. All indiscriminately.

I couldn’t leave it alone.

[“Let go!”]

“I can’t let go!”

The battle for leadership continued for a long time.

I don’t know how long this will last, but still my body obeyed my will better.

I walked slowly to the corner of the warehouse with trembling steps.

In the corner of the warehouse, there was a three-person sword that I hit with a hammer and was stuck in the ground.

[“That… Sword of the Exorcist! Wait, stop!”]

Whether he said it in my head or through my mouth, I grabbed the hilt of the three-man sword.

Then, a thunderstorm-like pain swept through my whole body.

[“Quaaa!!”]

“Quaaa!!”

The man and I screamed at the same time. Even so, I never let go of the hilt of the three-person sword.

Am I going to die like this… The moment I wanted to, the voice in my head suddenly disappeared.

“Ouch… !”

I fell backwards with a tanned body holding on to the three-man sword.

No matter how long it’s been since I came to my senses, I’m losing my consciousness again.

“Binary… ! Where… !”

“… This way… hurry!”

I lost consciousness as I heard a familiar voice calling me from afar.
