“The balance is also bad, should we enter the gate in this state?”

As he said, the combination of Espers gathered in front of the gate was not so good.

Most of them were Espers to assist Choi Si-Hyuk, who will sweep the monster alone with psychokinesis, so the defense type was a majority, and the rest was a long-distance support type.

Choi Si-Hyuk is the only one who enters the gate with such a strange combination.

Therefore, there was a limit to Tae-Woo, who had a completely different type of ability from Si-Hyuk, replacing him.

In addition, there were fewer people.

Tae-Woo looked at the number of Esper gathered in front of the gate.

A remarkably small number of approximately 20 people.

After checking the number of people, it was inevitable that his face would hardened.

“That… that….” The employee who knew the situation also had nothing to say.

This was all due to the sudden notice of Choi Si-Hyuk’s absence.

Regardless of whether the gate schedule was delayed or the number of people were relocated, The Association Employee’s boss, who was unable to avoid overtime, finished the adjustment with Esper Kang Tae-Woo in Esper Choi Si-Hyuk’s position without thinking deeply.

Kang Tae-Woo will be dispatched to the gate again in just a few days, but the Employee murmured that Tae-Woo would be fine because he had a guide.

The employee wanted to ask for an explanation instead of standing in front of the boss who had committed the crime.

As the word “monster” continued to be heard, the employee gradually sweated.

Esper Kang Tae-Woo’s face, which glanced at him, had the same expression as usual, but he looked angry for some reason. The Employee felt numb just looking at Tae-Woo’s face.

I’m getting unlucky again…’ The employee thought.

Everyone was full of complaints, but they couldn’t miss the gate attack. Now, if they fell into the attack, they could be forced to use high-grade gates or gates that others were reluctant to use.

And who is Esper Kang Tae-Woo? A monster that never dies, the strongest Esper. The efficiency in the one-to-many battle will not be able to keep up with Esper Choi Si-Hyuk, but it is only necessary to drive the flocking monsters to Esper Kang Tae-Woo and leave him to handle them.

“First of all, a brief description of the gate…”

The employee managed to start explaining while it was quiet for a while.

While complaining, the Espers adjusted their posture according to the guidance of the staff and prepared to head to the gate.

In the middle of the huge hole, which was dug as large as a meteorite, was an entrance to the gate.

As Tae-Woo went down into it, a cave surrounded by rocks appeared.

The wide open space, subtly shining walls, and heterogeneous structure once again made him realize that this place is not the earth, but in a gate of a different dimension.

After arriving in the deep part and the first battle began, he fought wildly.

As per the search data received in advance, the monsters here were relatively slow and hard.

Occasionally, monsters who could fly or attack without coming down on a high wall appeared, but the number was small, so it was not a problem.

Since the number of people is small and the combination is not good, it was natural that the speed of dealing with monsters was slowed down.

The formation was also solid at first due to many close-range defense lines, but the battle continued for a long time as there were only supporters in the long-distance, which had few offensive lines.

Espers were getting tired, and as time went by, people began to get seriously injured.

After checking the people’s condition, Tae-Woo was forced to use his ability to deal with monsters.

Tae-Woo felt lighter after meeting So-Won.

The burden of using the ability was reduced, so Tae-Woo was able to endure it longer in a distant state.

However, if Tae-Woo continued to use his ability as it is, he could not guarantee his appearance a few hours later.

Tae-Woo hopes he can go back safely today.

He just hopes he doesn’t go back to being a monster like last time.

Tae-Woo knocked down the monsters in front of him one by one, recalling So-Won waiting for him at the center.

While Tae-Woo faced the monster alone in front of him, the rest of the battle was conducted in the form of guarding the surroundings from behind or assisting Tae-Woo.

However, there was little support from Espers who complained that if Choi Si-Hyuk came, he would have cleared this gate quickly without any injuries.

“I think this is the last place.”

It was the end of the gate that arrived quite a long time later.

A ceiling so high that you can’t see the end in a large space, but an empty space.

There was a quiet silence and everyone was nervous.

The lack of signs of closing the gate meant that the owner of the gate was still alive.

No one knew whether the owner, who noticed a guest, would suddenly pop out of the ground, appear through the wall, or appear through the air.

Tae-Woo was also alert and wary of his surroundings.

Since earlier, the sound of the boss has been heard slightly, but it was not easy to estimate the location of the sound because it was in a cave.

Tae-Woo soon raised his head and fixed his vision on the ceiling.

Tae-Woo felt like he could see something in the sky that he thought was so high that he couldn’t see it.

When Tae-Woo narrowed his eyes and looked at it with concentration, he felt a wriggling movement.

“It’s above.”

All the Esper looked up, signaling Tae-Woo’s words.

The monsters immediately began to move when the Espers noticed their location.

The wings of hundreds, thousands, and perhaps tens of thousands of monsters rang out loud.

It felt as if the ceiling was collapsing.

The white shining eyes were like stars embroidered in the night sky, but the fierce approach was not so beautiful.

“Retreat! Retreat for now!” someone exclaimed.

The match was not good.

In a close-range party, the flying monster was the worst opponent.

Besides, the smaller the opponent, the more they are in numbers.

The monsters, measuring about 1m in size, were quick and covered with paralyzing powder on their bat-like wings. Dust-like powders fell off each time they flapped their wings.

Paralyzing powder fell endlessly from the sky.

The movements of the less resistant Espers have become noticeably dull.

They tried to get out of there in a hurry.

However, before reaching the exit, the wall suddenly collapsed and the exit was blocked.

As Tae-Woo looked up in a hurry, monsters were breaking the nearby wall and blocking the exit.

“These monsters!”

The Esper, who could attack from afar, rushed out, but the space to escape had already disappeared.

“Damn it…” Someone muttered a vain voice buried in the wings of the monsters.

“I’ll go.”

“Yes…”

Even after Tae-Woo left So-Won’s side.

The back, which was gradually moving away, was no longer visible.

So-Won looked at where Tae-Woo left.

It felt like a storm had passed.

A peaceful atmosphere came as if it had returned to daily life, but in the corner of So-Won’s heart, the gloomy mood did not disappear.

So-Won, who approached the information desk, first handed out a guide registration card before the employee greeted him.

“I’d like to use a private waiting room.”

“Oh, the private waiting room has just been empty, so I’m still cleaning it. Could you wait in the common waiting room for a moment? I’ll let you know as soon as I’m done organizing.”

“Oh…”

‘Nothing has worked out today.’ So-Won thought.

So-Won sighed and headed to the common waiting room.

The waiting room, which came in expecting a lot of people, was quiet.

So-Won sat in an empty seat closest to the door, wondering.

So-Won looked around once again.

There were a few guides sitting in the spacious waiting room and doing their own work at a glance.

This is the only facility where a guide can wait near this gate, but the total number of people sitting in the waiting room didn’t exceed 30.

Even considering that they were not all guides, there were only a small number of people.

No one came in even though So-Won sat for a long time watching the door.

Choi Si-Hyuk.

So-Won could guess the cause by thinking about the person he met in front of the center.

Choi Si-Hyuk’s ability has an infinite range of uses.

There were many other things possible besides crushing the opponent just by surrounding him with psychokinesis around him and tearing it off or looking at a wide range.

Choi Si-Hyuk preferred few people that he often entered the gate alone, saying that his auxiliary espresso was interrupted.

Looking at the number of people gathered in the waiting room, the process of urgently sending Tae-Woo the previous day was depicted in So-Won’s mind.

When Si-Hyuk canceled the gate schedule because he was lazy, he couldn’t clear the gate with the number of people organized according to him.

It is difficult to cover the manpower to replace Choi Si-Hyuk in a day, but Tae-Woo was forcibly dispatched because the process would be more complicated if they postpone the schedule.
