Return To Level Up

At first I thought it was acting. However, constant observation confirmed that she had indeed lost all of her memories.

Surprisingly, Jexter lost only his memories from the moment he joined Jason's family to the moment he left.

Ha-jin Kang, who decided that he was not a threat, loosened the ropes and chains that held him tightly.

Then brought him to his room.

Since Jexter desperately wanted coffee, he willingly served coffee as well.

His face was still confused.

“Do you remember Jason?”

At Hajin Kang's question, Jexter nodded his head.

“Of course I remember. He came to us quite often.”

"we? Aren't you alone?"

Sexter shook his head.

“We were a team. Jason has been working hard to sign him.”

“So what happened?”

“Actually, we didn't really have much intention of working with Jason. It was so much more fun to be free with each other.”

To come under someone's control means to allow interference. It also meant that you had to be locked in a certain frame.

Jexter didn't like it.

He had no desire to do anything great or rise to a great position.

It was the same not only for Jexter, but also for his friends.

“So I went to see Jason to say no.”

“And?”

“That’s it.”

Hajin Kang lit up her eyes.

“The memory after that is gone.”

"Yes. To be honest, I can't believe how many years have passed already.”

Just because you can't remember what happened after Jason's blood baptism doesn't mean he's done it.

Hajin Kang looked at him with cold eyes.

Now it was my turn to tell the truth.

Hajin Kang took out his tablet and showed him a CCTV video filming the imprisoned subordinates of Jexter.

“Do you know who these are?”

Jexter looked at the screen carefully. And tilted his head.

“I have no idea.”

“It’s your men.”

"Yes? Are these people my subordinates?”

Jexter was startled.

“And they will soon turn into monsters.”

"Yes? Turning into a monster? Are you human?”

Hajin Kang explained what had happened to Jexter step by step.

While listening to the explanation, Jexter's expression changed moment by moment.

Perhaps accepting it will never be easy.

After hearing all the explanations, Jexter sighed deeply.

“Ha ha. why······!"

I don't know exactly what happened, but the circumstances were certain. Jason was the starting point for this.

He has turned Jexter, who rejected the offer of recruitment, into a family member.

And, although I didn't research it, it was probably the same with Jexter's friends.

Hajin Kang decided that it was not so simple for Jason to become a member of the family.

If it had been easy, I would have been surrounded by countless families.

He wouldn't have had any reason to hold a party like that in England.

Perhaps there is a limit to the number that can be accepted, or the conditions are strict, or both.

"Can't you save those people?"

Jexter looked at Ha-jin Kang with earnest eyes and asked.

I still can't believe it, but if that's true, how can he bear the guilt if he planted the seeds of a monster in them?

In fact, Hajin Kang was also sad.

If we had earned the title of System Invaders a little sooner, wouldn't we have been able to bring them back to this system?

“For now, I will do what I can until the end.”

“Please . . . , please.”

Tears welled up in Jexter's eyes.

He was looking at it, so he couldn't have imagined that he was a man who had enlisted troops in Mexico and was bombarding them.

‘A baptism of blood…’

Isn't that a terrifying ability? If you become a member of the family, you can offer absolute loyalty and change your personality to your liking.

“Let’s take a little break and think about what to do next.”

Jexter nodded his head with a heavy expression.

What Kang Ha-jin said was only a fraction of what she did.

She couldn't have imagined how gruesome what she had done before, as part of it was enlisting Mexican troops to bombard Awakening units fighting monsters.

If he had been living a life of really horrific deeds, wouldn't it be right to pay the price in some way, even if he didn't remember it, even if it wasn't his will?

With that thought in mind, Sexter bowed his head and meditated.

Kang Ha-jin looked at Jexter like that, and then left.

He also didn't like his temper to give up like this. She was determined to find a way to somehow rescue them.

There seemed to be some way.

* * *

Jason, William and Jennifer gathered in a secret room.

There was no Spencer, a member of the same Defenders.

This was not the Defenders, but a secret group formed before that.

So there shouldn't be a spanner. Because Spencer didn't deserve to be here.

“Come on, let’s talk again. The link with the family has been broken? Can you explain exactly what it is?”

Jason nodded at William's question.

“For now, the one in the family whose link was broken is Jexter. Everyone knows Jexter, right?”

Of course I knew. It was because Jason was the one who used it the most.

Jennifer and William would often ask Jexter to do things that were too difficult to handle.

“It is a painful loss. It was a very useful family.”

“For now, let’s focus on the link side. So how did the link break?”

“Is it cut off due to complete annihilation?”

Jason shook his head.

There are two types of death in the family. One is an ordinary death. In this case, the owner of the family could give it a new life.

Of course, the owner had to pay the price, but he was able to afford it.

It was because I had to dedicate a few levels to it.

And secondly there was complete annihilation.

That meant that the family would never be able to revive again.

Because it happened when the source of maintaining the spirit and body of the family disappeared.

In other words, it was possible to revive the family no matter what form of death they faced, as long as the source was intact.

Of course, that was only for Jason. Because it was the power possessed by the blood lord Jason.

In any case, when such complete annihilation occurs, the link is broken. And in that case, the owner, Jason, was able to pinpoint the situation.

William confirmed that part. And I got the answer no.

“It’s serious. So is the link really just broken? Is that possible?”

“It is possible if this system intervenes.”

"It's almost impossible..."

“It's almost impossible. But that means there is at least one possibility.”

“It is possible that there are other system invaders besides us.”

“It is also very unlikely. But... I can't say it's impossible at all. Our existence is proof of that.”

“It would be better to keep all possibilities open and think about it. You must not miss anything.”

“I’ll figure that out first.”

“I will find out.”

Jason took a deep breath and looked at the two of them in turn.

“And we have to find a new fit for the family. As you know, there is a big difference between those who have a full family and those who are not.”

That was the trait of Jason, the Bloodlord.

William and Jennifer nodded at the same time.

“Let’s figure it all out together. And how about getting some insurance at this point?”

"insurance?"

“If it happened once, wouldn’t it be much easier for the same thing to happen again in the future? So we have to prepare in advance.”

That meant that we had to secure a suitable fit for the family in advance.

This is so that even if the link is broken, it can be replaced immediately.

“Whoa. I also need to level up a lot. If this happens a few times, the level to pay in return may not be enough. You also need to secure your skills.”

“I agree.”

“Then let’s focus on hunting for the time being. Of course, we must not neglect our work.”

“I will be busy for a while.”

They also have to pay a level in return for joining the family.

When giving power to a family member you took in, of course you have to pay the level in return.

A level is a level. It was their strength to create a clan by using some of the ranks they had accumulated and to deal with the clan.

So, securing a high level was essential.

“I will be busy for a while without even opening my eyes.”

“And… you just have to watch the Guardians go wild.”

Jason's face contorted.

This time, the task that Jexter was in charge of was to get rid of Hajin Kang, the center of the Guardians.

However, it was not enough that it failed, so the link was broken.

‘Because Ha-jin is strong, I’ll have to investigate around him first.’

It was Jason, William and Jennifer's thoughts at the same time.

Perhaps Ha-jin Kang is closely related in some way to this event.

* * *

Ha-jin Kang invested a whopping 3 days to observe and identify each of the 20 Awoken who were released from the family of Jexter.

In the meantime, he didn't even hunt and focused on leaving the Guardians to finish the second disaster.

Once Mexico was organized, there were few countries where the situation was difficult.

Some countries were dangerous, but there Dungeon Breakers helped.

Having successfully defended Korea perfectly, Dungeon Breaker helped the Guardians and took the lead in saving a difficult country.

So, even if Ha-jin Kang didn't care about the second disaster, there was no big problem.

The time thus obtained was spent only observing and researching the family of Jexter.

And in that way, Ha-jin Kang got a hint.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

It was the seed of chaos they harbored.

It is said that when the seeds of chaos germinate, they will be stained with uncleanness.

Then, shouldn't the seeds of chaos not germinate? or remove it.

So, what Ha-jin Kang tried was to detect the seeds of chaos.

Fortunately, Ha-jin Kang has a newly opened attribute this time.

Coincidentally, this happened as soon as the 'chaos' attribute was opened.

When I went to incorporate the remnants of the past at the British Museum, I absorbed the ability of the item called the Moon Pendant, and also got the option to unlock the Chaos attribute.

Although it was just an opening, what it was and what it was not was the difference between heaven and earth.

First of all, it is because the sense of property is greatly increased.

There was a slight difference between opening attributes and gaining attribute power. In order to acquire attribute power, you must acquire the power related to it.

And Ha-jin Kang saw this as an opportunity to do just that.

Hajin Kang focused on Samuel among the 20 Awakened.

The more he checked, the more certain he felt the seeds of chaos he had.

Perhaps because he holds the greatest seeds of chaos.

In fact, Samuel was very uncomfortable and uncomfortable because Ha-jin Kang came to see him every day and just stared at him in front of him.

With a little exaggeration, I was about to go crazy.

But he had done something he had done, so he couldn't deny it, he just accepted it.

He also thought he was going to be a monster soon anyway, so it would be nice if he could help something like this.

Instead, he accepted a promise to kill him before he became a monster.

Of course, Hajin Kang had no intention of doing that. Because Samuel will never turn into a monster.

Samuel sat still and stared blankly at Ha-jin Kang. I could just tell that Ha-jin Kang's concentration had risen to a peak.

Suddenly, Hajin Kang stretched out his hand.

Samuel was startled, but he stood still.

Hajin Kang's hand touched Samuel's chest. It was exactly where the heart was located.

Kang Ha-jin's hand slowly penetrated his chest.

It was painful, but Samuel endured it. He only thought that now he could die.

Samuel thought that Ha-jin Kang's hand was clutching his heart. Still, it was a little strange that he was still alive.

Suddenly, Ha-jin Kang pulled out his heart.

No, he thought so.

However, it was not the heart that Ha-jin Kang was holding tightly in his hand.

It was a mass of energy that was softly shining in purple.

"uh?"

Samuel reflexively checked his chest. was fine He had no scars, unlike a man whose heart had been pulled out.

Samuel looked at Ha-jin Kang's face and the purple lump he held in his hand with surprise.

Soon, a lump of purple energy seeped into Kang Ha-jin's hand.

Kang Ha-jin looked at Samuel and grinned.

Samuel enjoyed a sense of liberation that was indescribable in words at that moment.
