I patted Kim Woo-jin on the back who was crying sadly with his face buried on my shoulder, but the building began to shake so violently that it was hard to ignore.

Rumbling!

With an ominous sound, concrete powder poured down from the ceiling and the walls began to crack clearly.

“Kim Woojin. It will collapse.”

It looked like we had to get out of the building. At my words, Kim Woo-jin nodded his head with the corners of his eyes burning bright red.

“Let’s go.”

Kugung! Kugugung!

The ceiling of the building began to collapse with a roar. Kim Woo-jin, who carried me on his back, wrapped himself in the wind. Huge debris of concrete poured down over his head, but before it could reach his body, it was pushed to the side by the wind.

“Now!”

Measuring the timing by sifting through the debris, I found a small gap and tapped Kim Woo-jin’s shoulder. Kim Woo-jin, who was waiting for my signal, jumped up vigorously.

Hwiiing!

Using the wind to push the debris away, I and Kim Woo-jin, who escaped safely, looked down at the completely collapsing building with grey smoke in the air. As I rested my forehead on Kim Woo-jin’s shoulder and exhaled a breath of relief, I heard a soft voice.

“Let’s go, Han Yi-gyeol.”

Let’s go where? Before I even asked, Kim Woo-jin started moving. Passing through the building where the remains met and going straight forward, it was near the entrance of the building. After turning off my ability and coming down from Kim Woo-jin’s back, I found a person I didn’t expect and opened my eyes wide.

“Ha Tae-heon-ssi? How are you…”

The familiar figure who looked at me and sighed openly was definitely Ha Tae-heon. Even in the midst of doubts, I was happy to approach him right away, but Kim Woo-jin grabbed my arm.

“Get treatment first, Han Yi-gyeol.”

“Oh? But…”

How could I be treated…

“Yi-gyeol-ssi!”

“Min Ah-rin-ssi?”

Min Ah-rin was also here? Behind Min Ah-rin, who rushed out, Hong Si-ah, Cha Soo-yeon, and Woo Seo-hyuk were seen.

“No, what are you all doing here?”

“What stupid thing are you talking about?”

When I asked with a bewildered feeling, Min Ah-rin put on a terrifying expression and got angry at me for the first time. You said ‘stupid thing’…

“He seriously had a bad head injury. Please check it properly.”

I didn’t feel real about the fact that I was scolded by Min Ah-rin, so I stood blankly, and Kim Woo-jin said strange things next to me. No, it was true that I hurt my head, but it was kind of weird to explain it like that.

“I mean, what’s going on here…”

Crack!

At that moment, a terrifying feeling ran through my body. Cheon Sa-yeon appeared in front of me in an instant and blocked the huge scythe with his sword. Cheon Sa-yeon’s voice could be heard through the hot energy felt on the skin.

“It’s all good.”

He trampled with his feet the evil spirit that rose like a haze from the ground and swung his sword to slash the scythe.

“We’ll talk later and clean up the situation first.”

Kagang!

Kuaaak! Kiaaak! Evil spirits soaring from the scythe spread all over the place, the screaming that I didn’t want to hear. I mumbled as I stared at the figure.

“Cheon Sa-yeon, why are you here…”

“Yi-gyeol-ssi, how long are you going to say that?”

“Because he hurt his head.”

Kim Woo-jin’s pitiful voice woke me up. Cheon Sa-yeon was correct. I had to ask why they were here later and had to deal with the enemy first.

As the smoke from the collapse of the building was blown away by the wind, a bizarre-shaped doll with half of its face torn off and Kang Seung-geon crawling on the floor were seen. The doll looked at me and shook its head and grumbled in a tone of regret.

“Ah, I lost it in the end. That’s why I didn’t want to leave it to a pig like that.”

A broken doll swung a huge scythe with one hand. Just looking at the black scythe with evil spirits protruding and skulls crawling made my back cold.

“Han Yi-gyeol. Use your ability.”

“But, Master! Yi-gyeol-ssi isn’t in a right state right now.”

“Get treatment later.”

At the resolute command, I smiled and lifted up my energy, telling Min Ah-rin not to worry. As long as there was that doll anyway, it would be difficult to receive treatment comfortably. It was the moment when the wind wrapped around Cheon Sa-yeon’s body.

“Guook! Kuaaaak!”

Kang Seung-geon, who was shaking while lying on the floor, suddenly shouted. He gasped while clutching his chest as if in pain, gurgling, phlegm-boiling sounded, and began pouring out a huge amount of blood from his mouth.

“What the…!”

“Guok, goook!”

Kugugugung!

When Kang Seung-geon twisted his body and vomited blood for the second time, the whole ground began to vibrate violently like an earthquake.

“Ahahaha! Well done! Destroy it! Destroy them all!”

As the doll burst into mad laughter, Kang Seung-geon grabbed his forehead and let out a rough breath. Crack, from under his feet, the floor began to distort and crumble at random.

“Kkyaaaak!”

“It’s, it’s an earthquake!”

Street lamps fell, electric lines burst, and at the same time, people screamed everywhere. Cheon Sa-yeon frowned upon realizing that Kang Seung-geon’s ability had an effect beyond the control line.

“The explosion risk stage.” (폭주 위험 단계군, is there the better way to name it?)

“The explosion risk stage?”

“He can’t control his energy. If you leave it alone, it will start running rampant. Woo Seo-hyuk, Kim Woo-jin. Together with the management headquarters staff, you help evacuate civilians.”

“Yes.”

“I understand.”

At that command, Woo Seo-hyuk ripped his clothes and turned into a wolf, and Kim Woo-jin created two new clones. Hong Si-ah, who was watching the situation, approached Cha Soo-yeon and said.

“Soo-yeon and I will help. If I stayed here any longer, I think it would be just a nuisance. Healer Min Ah-rin, can you come with me?”

“…I get it.”

Min Ah-rin, who looked at me for a while at Hong Si-ah’s request, nodded her head with a look of helplessness.

“And Han Yi-gyeol.”

Cheon Sa-yeon, who quickly grasped the situation and gave the order, turned to me.

“Fighting Kang Seung-geon with Ha Tae-heon. If he faints, the explosion will stop. Don’t kill him.”

“What, wai…”

Before I could catch it, Cheon Sa-yeon flew towards the doll. Chaeaeng! The huge scythe and the sword collided, and the fire flared up like an explosion.

“Guhu, uuugh…!”

Dozens of sharp stone debris floated around Kang Seung-geon, who woke up with a groan of pain. Crack, crack! The ground twisted violently and sharp debris broke through the soil and bounced out. Ha Tae-heon grabbed my body, which was staggered by the strong shaking as it closed to me.

“Ha Tae-heon-ssi.”

“For now, it would be better to do as Master Cheon Sa-yeon said.”

I nodded and wrapped my arms around Ha Tae-heon’s neck, and he hugged me as if he had been waiting. Without cutting off the energy I used for Cheon Sa-yeon, I came out and wrapped Ha Tae-heon’s body in a new wind.

As I floated high, I could see the mess around me at a glance. The road was turned over, causing traffic accidents everywhere, and street lights and several buildings had already collapsed.

Kugung! Kugugung!

The management headquarters staff and guild members who were guarding the control line were helping the evacuation, but it was not enough to prevent the damage. I had to stop Kang Seung-geon’s explosion as soon as possible.

“Let’s go, Ha Tae-heon-ssi.”

As we descended in front of Kang Seung-geon, who was staggering with his hand on his head, the ground rattled threateningly towards us. Huung, black dust mixed with my wind and wrapped around our bodies like a shield.

“Kuu, ugh!”

Kang Seung-geon, who had been crushing the ground nearby, looked at me with red eyes with all his veins bursting. Then he tore the corners of his lip long.

‘What?’

When I felt disgusted and frowned at the sight, Kang Seung-geon pointed at me with a trembling hand and said.

“I, I remember. Fuck. I just remembered.”

“……?”

“You? It was you, right? Shit, that time. That stinky shantytown!”

Shantytown? It was incomprehensible from start to finish. Even though I didn’t understand, Kang Seung-geon leaned his back with a cool expression on his face and started to laugh.

“Now I know! You and that dog orphan, you were the same one who ruined my life! I didn’t even know that, damn it!”

“…what does he mean by that?”

“I don’t know.”

The orphan bastard seemed to mean Cheon Sa-yeon, but I couldn’t figure out what he and I did to Kang Seung-geon. Kang Seung-geon, who had been smiling happily for a long time, looked at me with half-crazed eyes and muttered.

“If I kill all of you, will my life go back to its place? Oh?”

Huge stone debris broke through the soil and jumped out of the ground shaking unsteadily. Kugugung! Ha Tae-heon, who flew off the collapsing floor, held my body tightly and swung his sword towards the flying stone debris.

“Gasp!”

One of the broken stone debris brushed past my ear.

Most of the attacks were blocked with Ha Tae-heon’s sword and shield, but it was difficult to block them all as debris flew nonstop from all directions. I asked Ha Tae-heon, avoiding the debris that kept flying to my face.

“What exactly is Kang Seung-geon’s ability?”

I roughly assumed it was the ability to control the land, but now that I saw it, the range was much wider than I expected. Ha Tae-heon answered while cutting away the flying concrete debris.

“He can control things made of soil and rocks. It’s useful, but that’s all.”

Obviously, the attack that flew towards us ended up with stones and concrete debris filled with S-rank energy. Except for causing an earthquake by shaking the whole ground, it wasn’t combat-type ability as Ha Tae-heon explained.

I said cautiously to Ha Tae-heon, who couldn’t close the distance because he was constantly smashing out huge pieces of stone and debris.

“I think he’s aiming at me, but I can get his attention somewhere else…”

“Shut up.”

“Yep.”

It didn’t work either. As I laughed awkwardly, Ha Tae-heon opened his mouth in a lower voice.

“I definitely felt the same way as at the Gulupdo Island Gate. That you should never be left alone.”

“Ei, to that extent…”

I was about to reply playfully, but I trembled at Ha Tae-heon’s terrifying gaze and stopped talking. I guess it was sincere. Now I heard nagging even from Ha Tae-heon.

“But we can’t stop the explosion like this.”

“No. There’s a way.”

“Really? What is it?”

Yeah. If you think about it, isn’t Ha Tae-heon the main character of the Abyss? He was a much smarter and more sensible man than me. I waited for Ha Tae-heon’s explanation with inflated expectations.

“The way is.”

The way is?

“Shut up and rush.”

“Yes?”

Ha Tae-heon took an SS-class coat from his inventory and held it to me. When I suddenly accepted it, Ha Tae-heon swung his sword towards Kang Seung-geon with great speed as if he had been waiting.

“Wa, wait a minute! Ha Tae-heon-ssi!”

This crazy!

Only then did I realize the meaning of the word ‘shut up and rush’, I quickly covered myself with my coat and hugged Ha Tae-heon.
