Return To Level Up

Ash and Jason left the base.

Before leaving, he instructed the Defenders' Awoken to clear up nearby monsters.

You must go to the huge dungeon and close it with Ash.

It's not that they can't do it alone, but it's inefficient. If Ash goes out, he can close the dungeon by himself, but he had no reason to put them into the dungeon.

The two set off after seeing the Awoken scattered around the base.

It was relaxed at first.

“Hey, I don’t know who the opponent is, but it’s amazing.”

Jason asked in admiration of Ash.

“How much is that?”

“Are you up against my own alter ego? Well, looking at the way things are going, I think there will be a conclusion sooner or later.”

“Can you see your opponent with your own eyes?”

Ash shook his head at Jason's question.

“I just feel the atmosphere. The connection isn't that strong. If the connection is too strong, if the clone dies, the damage I take is too great. You know I put safety first.”

Jason snorted at that.

Isn't it so funny that a guy who values ​​safety would think of jumping into an unverified rift?

Of course, Ash insisted that he had calculated it thoroughly, but none of his colleagues believed it.

It was clear to Jason that he came to this earth by coincidence.

“So what’s the atmosphere like?”

“It’s tight, but there are too many technical gaps to keep the lead.”

“Can you even know that?”

“Your alter ego is just like me. Everything from thinking to habits to fighting styles. It just lacks strength.”

This meant that the situation was inferred based on the information conveyed through the faint link.

Jason looked at Ash with a new look.

It was an analysis that could never be done if you had a bad head. He didn't know Ash had such a side.

“If you’re going to look with those eyes, won’t you turn your eyes away? Because I want to get rid of it.”

“In nature.”

Jason grumbled and turned his head away.

You shouldn't touch crazy people like Ash. It was best to avoid this guy.

As he was walking so slowly, Ash suddenly stopped walking.

"What is it?"

Jason looked at Ash with his puzzled eyes.

Ash wrapped his left hand with a twisted expression on his face.

“Ugh.”

“Why?”

"Be quiet! It hurts to die!”

Ash's cheeks trembled. It looked really sick.

As he slowly lifted his hand, the little finger of his left hand disappeared. And blood was dripping on the spot.

Jason's eyes widened when he saw it.

“Is it possible that the clone is dead?”

There was only one thing that could explain such a phenomenon, the death of an alter ego. No, you just don't do that when you die. It was clear that it had disappeared.

“I will never leave this motherfucker alone.”

Ash looked in the direction of the clone with blazing eyes.

“I’ll go first, so follow me.”

After leaving those words, Ash rushed forward.

Jason frowned and looked at Ash's back as he moved away.

Then he took a deep breath and shook his head.

Jason started running in the direction Ash disappeared.

Hajin Kang returned to the Guardian's base city.

Then she left a message saying that no one should come for a while, went into the dormitory and fell asleep.

This fight was very difficult and dangerous.

She had to wear her angel's ring as well as her thunderbolt.

Even after she recovered with the ring of angels, she could barely win after continuing the battle that had barely crossed death.

No, she was more of a matchmaker rather than a winner.

Had it not been for her healing skills, she would have died there naked like Ash.

Hajin Kang killed Naked Ash and completely annihilated it.

She didn't just annihilate it, but annihilated it using the system.

She even used the [Cutting] skill belonging to the system invaders.

Naked Ash was separated from the system over there.

It would have been absolutely impossible if he hadn't won the battle and killed him. I knew it the moment I separated her.

Anyway, thanks to that, the level went up a lot.

But leveling up was literally just a bonus. The real thing was the experience of fighting Naked Ash.

Hajin Kang lay on the soft bed and slowly closed her eyes.

She and she replayed the previous fight step by step.

I was confident that this fight would be enough to make me twice as strong.

It was such a great experience.

Hajin Kang, who was slowly falling asleep, raised his lips slightly.

And in his dreams, Kang Ha-jin fought and fought over and over again with the naked Ash.

Jason quickly ran towards the distant Ash.

When we arrived, Ash had already made a fuss.

There were no debris left around.

There must have been some collapsed buildings or overturned roads nearby, but none of them remained.

A 1km radius around Ash has turned into a flat plain with nothing.

"OK?"

At Jason's question, Ash looked at him with blazing eyes.

“Does this look okay now?”

Ash raised his left hand. He still didn't have a little finger. There was no blood, though.

“You can make it again.”

Over the years, I've seen Ash make and use his own clone, so he knew that even if he removed a part of his body and made a clone, that body wouldn't disappear at all.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ; . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

“I want to too. If the clone had not been completely destroyed, it would have been recreated.”

Jason looked at Ash in surprise.

“Is it possible that we can’t make it again?”

Ash's face contorted without mercy.

“Completely lost.”

It couldn't be played in any way. Even if it regenerates, it cannot function as a real little finger. It's just a fake with a shape.

Jason nodded his head as if he understood then and looked around him.

“Is that why you made it this way?”

“Not because of that, but because what I found disappeared.”

“What did you find is missing? That hole?”

"okay. obviously been here So that's why I made an alter ego. I have to keep it. But it disappeared like a lie.”

“Is it really gone? Isn't that something someone hid with a skill? Did you find it well?”

“Find you when you’re talking like that! Because I don't know anymore!”

Ash screamed, and Jason nodded and looked around closely.

Ash, who was watching the scene, frowned and thought.

‘When you first looked for it, you didn’t just find it, did you find it with your own strength?’

Originally there was no However, it was only seen when a storm of magic mixed with the power of the source was poured out.

‘It was obvious before, but why not now?’

The reason this area has turned into flat land is because it has released magical energy that has been mixed with the power of the source.

I thought that if I did that, the hidden hole would reappear.

But no matter what, it didn't show up.

Ash went to the spot where the hole had previously been.

“Obviously it was here...”

I dug the hole and tried to pour out the power of the source to the limit, but nothing changed.

In the end, the two returned without success.

On the way back Ash asked Jason.

“Doesn’t that communicator have a tracking device?”

“It depends.”

Not just a tracking device, but a tracking device made of pure electronic equipment, a device made through magic engineering that mixes magical power and electronics, and a device using pure magic.

“Does it work?”

"No."

“Is the tracking device broken?”

“It could be, or it could be somewhere out of reach of the signal.”

“Somewhere out of reach of the signal?”

“A space.”

Subspace was a separate place completely separated from this place due to the twisted space. Of course, no signal could enter.

“Then, just in case you don’t know, keep tracking. One day I will come out of the subspace.”

“So what if you find it?”

Ash smiled horribly.

“Of course you have to kill it. Do you think I'll leave the guy who took my finger off?"

Jason sighed deeply with a troubled expression on his face.

“Please don't crash. We're not in such a good situation. If you run around without measures, you could ruin everything.”

“Do you think there is anyone on Earth who can stand me? I can destroy them all.”

“No one can beat you one-on-one. But what if several people fight at the same time? Haven't you forgotten what happened before you came over here?"

Ash's face grew annoyed.

“Shut up because you’re annoyed.”

“You have to make it shut up.”

“Shut up, I’ll be waiting for you.”

“Whoa. Let's go according to plan, according to plan. When you're done, break it up or smash it, whatever you want."

“I can’t wait long.”

Jason's face contorted. But he didn't bother to add anything.

‘Are you going to live on the edge of this?’

It felt like his stress was engulfing his whole body.

* * *

Hajin Kang slowly opened his eyes. Even though I slept soundly, my whole body was aching.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

I checked the time and it had been 10 hours.

He slept without waking up for 10 hours. Still, the reason I am so tired is because of my dreams.

I dreamed of fighting the whole time.

The opponent is naked. Wouldn't it be weirder to have a dream where you fight countless times with a naked man and you're not tired?

Anyway, although I was tired, I gained a lot.

It's not as good as a real fight, but it helped me fight in my dreams.

Usually, dreams are hard to remember and are easily forgotten, but this dream was not like that.

I saw the effect as if I had done image training.

Ha-jin Kang fought Naked Ash in various ways in various situations.

If you fight Naked Ash again, you will be able to win more easily this time.

Of course, it would be a very different story if we were to fight a real Ash.

Hajin Kang got up from bed and washed up and went to the window.

The entire city could be seen from the window as the accommodation was on the top floor of the Guardians branch building.

It was a lively city.

There were a few huge dungeons outside the city, probably just last night.

Maybe sooner or later someone will step in and close it.

Unstable Japan was a land of opportunity for the awakened to become a springboard for growth.

It was the same for Hajin Kang.

“I need to level up more.”

Hajin Kang thought that he had to jump over the second wall in a hurry.

As he battled the naked Ash, his hunger for power grew even greater.

Next time he will fight a much stronger Ash.

To do it right then, you have to be several times stronger than you are now.

Hajin Kang turned back with a determined expression.

It's time to level up again.

* * *

Huge dungeons began to appear.

It was a worldwide thing.

Governments from all over the world were so busy that the soles of their feet were sweating.

What they found was, of course, the Guardians and the Defenders.

Finding them was the safest course.

Countries that had been standing a bit far from the Guardians and Defenders for a while were restless.

On the other hand, countries that were cooperative with the Guardians gained priority and quickly closed the dungeon and regained stability.

Countries that were uncooperative were also pushed back, but the Guardians did not abandon them.

However, the order is at the discretion of the Guardians, so I was busy lobbying the Guardians in each country.

When the Guardians were fighting the huge dungeons that opened all over the world, the gates of hell were opening in Japan.
