Return To Level Up

Hundreds of monsters came rushing in.

The monsters that approached by Ha-jin Kang's skill rushed to Ha-jin Kang and Ash as soon as they found it.

As long as you have come this far, it will attack on its own after that. Because that was the instinct carved into the body of the monster.

Ha-jin Kang gathered the monsters to reduce the number of monsters going to the Guardian's base city using Ash.

In fact, there were so many monsters that Hajin Kang and Ash couldn't even start a proper fight.

Ash knew that, but he had no intention of withdrawing from this place or delaying this fight until later.

It was Ash's style to cut down the enemy considering all of these things.

“It’s the first time I’ve seen an annoying person like you. You really don't leave me alone I promise to bring you the best pain. It’s okay to believe.”

Saying so, Ash swung his elongated sword.

All the monsters that approached were cut out.

There were many monsters that jumped over the wall, but it was not a threat at all to Ash.

Because it had to do a few more attacks.

Normally, he would kill dozens of monsters with one swing of his sword, but if there were a mixture of monsters that jumped over the wall, he could block the attack and couldn't finish the situation at once.

Ash's situation was also very annoying.

And all that annoyance turned into anger and focused on Kang Ha-jin.

Ash’s blazing gaze did not fall from Ha-jin Kang.

Kang Ha-jin looked at Ash's gaps while slowly dealing with the monster.

He had no intention of continuing the situation like this. He was something he had to fight and kill anyway.

With a sharp gaze, Kang Ha-jin captured Ash's movements one by one in his mind.

Now, this wasn't just about collecting monsters and reducing their numbers.

It was a number to understand Ashe's ability even a little.

‘Maybe he knows that too.’

Ash is probably in the process of assessing Ha-jin Kang's skills. While hiding his own skills as much as possible.

However, there was one more aim of Hajin Kang.

Ash shouldn't have been wasting time against the monster like that.

Anyway, it was a pity that I ran first.

Ash didn't rush to see Kang Ha-jin's gaps, but rather aimed for carelessness.

The monster bit Ash's shoulder. Of course, he should have avoided and counterattacked, but he ignored that and attacked Ha-jin Kang.

Ash put considerable strength into this attack. So he was sure. I'm sure it will work.

Aww!

Ash's sword split strong Hajin in two.

"what!"

Ash was startled. He apparently thought he had split Kang Ha-jin, but in reality he struck Kang Ha-jin's side.

‘Did I misunderstand you?’

It can't be. How could you have misunderstood this?

Kang Ha-jin's calm voice could be heard in the bewildered Ash's ears.

“I was hiding my power. I almost would have been beaten.”

He swung his sword towards the sound of the shriek. Not only the sound but also the presence was clearly felt, so he had no doubts that there was a strong Ha-jin there.

Aww!

But this time, Ash's sword just cut through the air.

And right after that, Kang Ha-jin's secret attack approached Ash's back.

Whoa!

Ash hurriedly rolled his body forward to avoid his sword attack, then turned and swung his sword again.

Aww!

Ash's sword strike still contained a powerful force.

The waves of his magic tore the surroundings to shreds.

Aww!

Finally, Kang Ha-jin's sword and Ash's sword strike collided.

In Ash's eyes, he could see Kang Ha-jin retreating back and forth because he could not relieve all of his strength.

It was an excellent opportunity.

Ash rushed towards the strong Ha-jin like a beam of light. It was as if a single ray of light pierced through the strong Hajin.

🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

However, it was the monsters that were nearby that were actually pierced.

It was like attacking the air. As before.

Ash couldn't hide his confused expression. I've never had a fight like this before.

To say that he is no one else and that he cannot grasp the reality of the enemy, it was absurd.

"What are you. What the hell!”

Ash shouted like that and ran to Ha-jin Kang again.

This time, he predicted that the attack would miss, and he spit out a wide range of power.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Huge magical energy poured out of the sword and swept the front.

Aww!

This time, there was definitely a taste. Isn't Kang Ha-jin also stepping back?

But it was clear that he didn't do any damage.

Ash smiled as he saw it. Because I found a way to deal with it.

"I don't know what you've been up to, but you're done now."

Do a range attack. It's going to take some effort, but I had enough energy to finish this one off.

Ashe's sword was imbued with enormous magical power. There was even a little bit of the power of the source mixed in.

Ha-jin Kang was convinced that it was impossible to block this attack.

Aww!

A huge storm of power swept forward.

And at that moment, Ash witnessed an unbelievable sight.

"what!"

He returned the power he had unleashed.

Ash hurriedly swung his sword.

Gwagwagwagwagwang!

It was a blow of conversion that he had done with all his might, so it was not common to stop it.

“Aww!”

Ash frantically swung his sword and ripped and cut through a storm of magical energy.

Then, a secret presence penetrated into Ash's arms.

Whoops!

Ash opened his eyes wide in disbelief as he saw the sword that had pierced his chest.

Aww!

Sharp magic flowed from the sword that had dug into his chest. It egged the inside of Ash.

Kang Ha-jin had already stepped back.

Ash looked at Kang Ha-jin with a mixed expression of absurdity and disappointment.

"haha. This is so...”

Blood was dripping from his body.

“I can’t believe that I would be so futilely beaten by a guy less than half of my strength.”

Ash looked at Kang Ha-jin with a puzzled expression.

“How did you do it?”

Hajin Kang did not answer. How can you guarantee that the conversation you are having now does not flow into the body of Ash?

Ash slumped down. There was so much blood poured from his body that his skin turned pale.

But he couldn't understand.

‘Is the clone destroyed just this much? Is it really that strange?’

It will die, but it won't be destroyed like this. How did you do it?

“You… did you burn the alter ego of me you fought before?”

Hajin Kang did not even answer that question.

I know what Ash was asking, but he had no reason to tell me.

I knew enough from my last experience that just killing is not the end.

Hajin Kang slowly approached Ash. And he blew his head off at once.

dump.

Ash fell to the floor.

Hajin Kang used [Cut] to break the connection between Ash and the system.

Hajin Kang's level went up steadily as the enormous power rushed in.

Then, the white tiger suddenly appeared and began to devour Ash's corpse.

Awkward! Awkward!

A luster dripped from the fur of the white tiger that ate Ash's corpse.

Hajin Kang collapsed on the floor.

There were still a lot of monsters around, but I didn't want to deal with them now.

Guessing Kang Ha-jin's mind, Baek-ho stepped forward and started cleaning up the surrounding monsters.

Hajin Kang recovered his energy while watching it.

To be honest, the fight was just a gamble.

He summoned the monster with [Scent of Enchantment] to kill time, and then drew Rapha Sid's pattern through that time.

If Ash ignored the monster and rushed straight to Ha-jin Kang, he would probably have been hit countless times.

Ash was that strong.

It's hard enough to block one or two attacks.

‘Is this because it’s just an alter ego?’

Once again, I was worried about fighting the main body of Ash.

Hajin Kang stood up with strength. It was not the time for her to be like this. You have to kill at least one more monster to raise the level as much as possible.

As Ha-jin Kang moved again, Baek-ho returned and ate Ash's remaining corpse.

Hajin Kang clenched his teeth and moved her body to hunt monsters.

* * *

The seemingly endless offensive of monsters has come to an end.

It was a total of five offensives.

More and more powerful monsters flocked to the second than the first, and the third than the second.

As a result, it became increasingly difficult, and it was impossible to stop the monster's attack without taking damage.

Some Awoken have died, and many Awoken have been injured.

But not a single monster entered the city.

This was a very meaningful result.

Ordinary people who live in the Guardian's stronghold are no longer concerned about the safety of this place.

Of course, my worries didn't go away, but I still had faith.

The belief that the Guardians will surely protect them.

Kim Ji-hye sat down on a large stone nearby, looking around the awakened people who were actively organizing their surroundings.

The number of monster corpses and magic stones piled up in the city while blocking this monster's offensive was enormous.

Many people will probably make a lot of money.

The money will also make this city fatter.

‘Maybe the city will grow further.’

The bigger the city, the more difficult it is to protect it from monsters. But as more Awoken would come into the city, it could have been safer.

‘I don’t know what happened to the bases in other countries.’

Kim Ji-hye suddenly thought of that. But she soon shook her head as she looked skeptical.

It was difficult here too, but did you really protect your base in other countries?

It was almost impossible.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

Moreover, as Hajin Kang and Baekho circled the city, they said that they dealt with powerful monsters to some extent.

Considering that, I could fully imagine what the other bases would have been like.

Kim Ji-hye, who was sitting and resting, saw Ha-jin Kang approaching from afar.

She jumped up and approached Ha-jin Kang.

Hajin Kang's body was covered in monster blood and body fluids. On the other hand, Baekho, who was walking lightly next to Ha-jin Kang, was dripping with luster in his hair.

It was as if he had just taken a bath.

'What?'

When Kim Ji-hye saw Ha-jin Kang and Baek-ho, she felt a strange sense of incongruity and paused for a moment.

“Mr. Jihye Kim. You are safe.”

At Ha-jin Kang's words, Ji-hye Kim suddenly came to her senses. And she replied with an awkward smile.

"Yeah. Thanks. Did you have a hard time?”

Hajin Kang smiled brightly and nodded his head.

“It was a worthwhile struggle.”

It was really enjoyable. Thanks to her dealing with Ash's clone, her level has risen tremendously.

The second wall was still far away, but it wasn't so far away that it was impossible to see at all.

Of course, if you want to raise the level in the future, even a monster of any level will not send a message, so you have to think about that a bit.

“However, I think the atmosphere has changed a bit. Master... and Baekho too."

Kang Ha-jin chuckled.

“I dealt with one strong enemy. In return, I leveled up a bit. Baekho as well.”

Kim Ji-hye's gaze continued to turn to Baek-ho.

Ha-jin Kang’s mood has definitely changed, but she was nothing compared to Baekho.

“Somehow, it seems to have gotten farther away.”

She apparently thought not long ago that she would be able to beat the White Tiger sooner or later. She believes that her level is very different, but her actual strength is not as high as her level.

She did, but now that I see it, it wasn't.

Baekho quickly ran away to a place that was difficult to catch up with.

“Kim Ji-hye will be there soon. She has already come this far, hasn't she?"

Jihye Kim smiled faintly.

“It is. She honestly never thought she would be able to come this far.”

I suddenly remembered the old days.

Those days when she left her healers guild, was treated unfairly, and made a living by selling mana stones on the black market.

If she hadn't met Ha-jin Kang at that time, what would she be like now?

Jihye Kim shook her body, not wanting to even think of her.

“I’m going to go in and get some rest. She rests well when Jihye Kim can also rest. You never know when the monsters will come again.”

Hajin Kang said those words and went into the city.

Kim Ji-hye stared blankly at Kang Ha-jin's back, and she suddenly came to her senses and murmured.

“Again… monsters are coming?”

Kim Ji-hye looked at the ruins in the distance with worried eyes.

If today's monster offensive continues again, it will probably not be easy to sustain.
