Return To Level Up

Ha-jin Kang traced the memories of his pre-return step by step.

There were a total of three catastrophes before his return.

The first and second of them did very well this time.

Before the return, the world was already in chaos when the first disaster occurred.

So the second disaster did not have the strength to properly prevent it.

If the Guardians hadn't stepped in at that time, it would have collapsed seriously.

In fact, the reason that the second disaster was able to be managed before the return was because, unlike this time, the period between the disaster was very long.

What happened over 10 years before the return was happening in just a few years this time.

A few years was less than two years.

Before the return, the third disaster occurred two years before Kang Ha-jin died.

After the third disaster, the fight for two years was much more numerous and fierce than the fight for the previous eight years.

But to be honest, I was a little surprised that it has already progressed so far.

The appearance of the dimension monster that is about to happen was an event that occurred between the second and third disasters.

Of course, it was never an easy case.

Because quite a lot of monsters ripped the dimension and attacked the Earth.

Still, to be honest, it wasn't enough to call it a disaster.

Because the dimensional monster wasn't that strong.

It wasn't that weak. Several Awoken had to unite their strength to face one gnome.

The problem was that there were too many.

‘How many were there then? One... a million or so?'

That was probably it.

That number appeared evenly across the globe.

It didn't appear all at once, but because they appeared after tearing the dimension sequentially, tens of thousands of them appeared every day.

Those who appeared in the realm of humans were thoroughly eradicated, but those who appeared in the realm of monsters had no choice but to be left unattended.

Still, it wasn't a big problem.

Dimensional monsters are beings that live in the gap between the dimension and the dimension, so their power has continuously decreased since they came to Earth and eventually disappeared.

The problem was that it made Marvas' invasion much easier.

The dimension monster stimulated the rift between the dimension and the dimension just by being there.

Of course, I didn't even know that such a rift existed before the return.

All of this was done by inferring step by step based on the newly acquired information after the regression.

So it could be wrong. But Kang Ha-jin believed most of it to be true. so that makes sense

Anyway, this unstable shaking was a clear omen for the appearance of a dimensional monster.

‘First of all, I have to give you a warning.’

Ha-jin Kang did not go hunting and returned to the city.

Then, suddenly, I remembered the events before the return.

‘Did Jason tell you that it was a dimensional monster?’

I didn't see the dimension monster appearing with my own eyes, but it was because of Jason that I came to call him a dimension monster naturally.

Because Jason named him a dimensional monster and came up with a countermeasure.

He insisted that only the monsters in the human realm should be cleaned up as they would disappear naturally over time, and Kang Ha-jin just believed in those words and fought.

And it actually happened.

Also, Jason was aware of the dimensional monster's weakness. Therefore, even with the insufficient power at the time, he was able to easily block the dimensional monster.

Of course, the new weaknesses that Ha-jin Kang discovered through fighting were more effective than the weaknesses that Jason discovered, but those weaknesses would have been difficult to detect if Jason hadn't revealed them in the first place.

In any case, before the return, he had no questions. But he couldn't now.

The reason Jason is so familiar with dimensional monsters is because he has experienced them firsthand.

‘It is clear that the world he lived in also collapsed for the same reasons as us.’

Hajin Kang’s steps toward the city were getting faster and faster.

‘But, wouldn’t the person who knew it in advance never thought of using it?’

Also, does he know his weaknesses?

That's never going to happen. Perhaps Jason will use this job in some way.

‘I have to keep the worst in mind.’

The real worst is nurturing what will happen this time.

There is a non-class being called Ash. I still have no idea what kind of power that Ash had.

I can only guess that he must have created a rift from the other world to the Earth.

It was said that the rift in Antarctica has grown since Ash's visit.

So, it would be reasonable to assume that he has the powers related to the rift.

Could a person with such power be able to help the dimensional monster easily come over here?

What would happen if a dimensional monster could easily jump over it?

‘Are you getting stronger? It doesn't matter...'

You know your weaknesses, so even if you become stronger, you won't have any problems dealing with them.

But what if the number increases?

'That's definitely a problem.'

I don't know how much the number will increase, but if it does, it's an emergency.

Kang Ha-jin quickly ran towards the city.

A countermeasure must be established as soon as possible. You have to convey the weakness of the dimensional monster to the guardian

As if drawing a straight line, Hajin Kang moved to the city.

And after that, Baekho was excited and chased after him.

* * *

Ha-jin Kang gathered all the main characters of the Guardian through a video conference.

And Hwang Soo-young and Jung A-yeon were also added.

Everyone was embarrassed by Kang Ha-jin's sudden request for a meeting.

The reason Ha-jin, who is strong enough, rushes out like this means that something big is about to happen.

I was already worried about what the hell was going to happen this time.

“For now, you have to keep in mind that it is important to keep this confidential.”

In fact, it is good to publicize the weakness of the dimension monster on a large scale and prepare for it, but if you do, you don't know what else the Defenders will do.

If the fact that we are preparing from this side leaks out, it may be even worse.

So, you have to be as secretive as possible.

“There is a dimensional monster.”

Kang Ha-jin started with those words and talked about the dimension monster in detail.

Even their weaknesses.

The people who heard the story were also bewildered when the weaknesses that they could never find out without fighting themselves began to appear.

Finally, unable to bear the question, Hwang Soo-young asked.

- Have you ever fought directly with that dimensional monster?

Ha-jin Kang had no reason to lie, so he nodded his head indifferently.

“It’s information I got after fighting a lot. So keep that in mind.”

Everyone became sober.

Where the hell did you go and what did you do with such an experience?

The Kang Ha-jin they see was a person who gave everything he had to save the world.

Silence lingered for a while. It was Hwang Soo-young who broke the silence.

-Please... think about your body. There are plenty of people here to help.

At that, everyone nodded loudly.

Ha-jin Kang smiled pleasantly as if their hearts were touching their hearts.

“I am already doing that.”

Before his return, he was doing things he never thought possible.

Also, when he thinks of himself right after his return, he never thought that he would be with so many people.

But soon it became like this.

He was going with countless people, and he made up his mind with them.

The question of whether you can still truly trust them is a bit questionable, but it will get better.

I was hit in the back of the head so badly before returning, so it's natural for trauma to remain.

It's really improved a lot though. These days, I often worry and reflect on whether my actions or actions were in the right direction before my return.

"That's why you're asking for help, isn't it?"

As he said that, seeing Kang Ha-jin smiling brightly, everyone sighed deeply and shook his head.

I think she's a really helpless person.

“So, how many dimensional monsters will come out? If the Master summons it in such a hurry, I’m afraid that there will be a lot of them.”

Kang Ha-jin's expression hardened slightly at Kim Ji-hye's question.

“I don’t know that part. Perhaps . . . there may be more monsters pouring out than you can imagine.”

“There are so many monsters that it is hard to imagine…”

It was too vague. But if you work hard, it's enough. Isn't it just a matter of supposing how many animals you can block and increasing your strength to overcome them?

Yoon Kyung-min, who had been silent until now, opened his mouth.

- First of all, I did some calculations through the words of the master. If we mobilize all the power we currently have, it seems that we can solve about 30 million animals.

Kang Ha-jin looked at Yoon Kyung-min in the screen with a puzzled eye.

thirty million. She far exceeds the scale she thought.

Before returning, he had about 1 million, so I expected it to grow to millions if the Defenders did a lot of tricks.

That alone wasn't normal. If they appear sequentially, you may not know if they appear all at once, because the world will be turned upside down.

But 30 million.

However, Yoon Kyung-min's words did not end there.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

-That's it right now, and if we start preparing in earnest, we'll be able to block more. First, we will prepare with a goal of 100 million.

Kang Ha-jin had nothing more to say, so he blankly looked at Yoon Kyung-min.

But it was only Kang Ha-jin who made such an expression.

The rest of them had the same determined expression as Yoon Kyung-min.

- Leave it to us. 'Cause I'll definitely do it

Ha-jin Kang could not say anything more and had no choice but to end the meeting.

Here, how did you say that it would be enough if you assumed that there were actually 10 million animals?

'Well, it's better if you prepare thoroughly. That will naturally lead to the strength to face the third disaster.’

So he decided to just move on.

The Guardians' preparations for the dimensional monster began that day.

Very thorough and secretive.

“The heart of the Phase Dragon, is there any more left?”

Ash smiled at Jason's question and looked at him.

“Do you know that the heart of a Phase Dragon is a stone that rolls along the side of the road? I wrote it all down. It was the last one I put in Antarctica.”

“I’m sorry. If it were, I think we could attract more dimensional monsters.”

“Twenty million is enough. Do you think Earthlings can stop it before we do?”

Jason's expression hardened at Ash's confident words.

“Don’t be vigilant. Because there are Guardians on Earth.”

“It’s Guardians…….”

A smirk swirled around Ash's eyes.

“A few were worthwhile, for sure. One… 100 people?”

Saying that, Ash smiled broadly.

Jason sighed. No matter how much he talked, it seemed to no avail.

Ash continued speaking in a tone of sneer still.

“There is only one of them that is the most dangerous. right?"

Jason nodded his head. Because it is clear that the most dangerous person is Ha-jin Kang.

“So, can’t we just stop him? You have to stop the dimensional monster, so focus on that. right?"

Jason's complexion brightened. The words he had been waiting for came out of Ash's mouth.

“When dimensional monsters are pouring in, I take charge of Hajin Kang.”

A sly smile formed on Ash's lips as he said that.

It was an eerie smile that was a mixture of anticipation, living, and ferocious anger.
