Return To Level Up

“It was aggro! Careful!"

At her cry from behind her, Jihye Kim rushed in front of her with her eyes twinkling.

In front of her, a demon who was blowing dark energy was standing tall with claws sharp like her sword.

A little far away from the demons, Lee Ji-young and Hwang Soo-young were looking for a chance to flirt.

As Kim Ji-hye rushed in, Hwang Soo-young and Lee Ji-young also moved in line with her.

Hwang Soo-young pierced her spear first. It was a stab aimed perfectly at the gap.

Zeng!

However, her demons were able to block the attack so easily.

Lee Ji-young dug into the blind spots of such demons.

Shhhhhh!

The demons evaded the three rapid sword attacks with minimal movement.

Jihye Kim, who was rushing at exactly that time, reached her demon.

Her demons swung her nails towards Kim Ji-hye.

However, Kim Ji-hye did not fight against it and jumped over her demon.

The moment Kim Ji-hye climbed up, a monster running from behind attacked her demon.

It wasn't for that, but because he was trying to attack Jihye Kim's back.

The demons, of course, expected that too, so they nailed their claws to the attacking monster.

Awkward!

At that moment, the demon suddenly got cold on the top of his head, and he hurriedly bowed his head to the side.

Awesome!

Kim Ji-hye's sword penetrated deep into her demon's shoulder.

It was the first wound he inflicted on the demons while fighting.

As the demons used her impression, they swung her arms wildly and struck her Kim Ji-hye. No, she was going to hit it.

If it wasn't for Hwang Soo-young, who intervened in her timing at that moment.

blah blah blah blah!

Hwang Soo-young's spear collided with her demon's hand, creating a huge shock wave.

Hwang Soo-young clenched her teeth and endured it.

That brief pause allowed Ji-hye Kim to escape, and Lee Ji-young to make a surprise attack.

Aaaaaaaaaaah!

Lee Ji-young's sword cut through the demon's thigh long.

“Aaaaaaaaah!”

The demons screamed and radiated power with their whole body.

The three hurriedly distanced themselves from each other.

His thighs, which had been dripping with blood, healed rapidly.

But the shoulder did not recover so easily. The wound was so deep that it took some time to heal.

Kim Ji-hye had no intention of giving it time. It was the same for Hwang Soo-young and Lee Ji-young.

The three ran to the demons again.

The elaborate pincers continued as if gears were interlocking.

The wounds on the demon's body increased one by one.

Usually, it healed right away, but over time, the wound healing speed gradually slowed down.

At the same time, the movement slowed down.

Lee Ji-young, Hwang Soo-young, and Kim Ji-hye were also not unscathed. But Jihye Kim was also a healer.

And soon the demon fell.

kuung.

From a distance from the eyes of the demons who had fallen to the floor, members of the Guardians' Guild were fighting against a horde of monsters.

The faces of the monsters that were being dealt with were just like himself.

‘It won’t be easy.’

That was the last thought the demons had.

* * *

The Guardians, who had successfully killed the first demon, rested there for a while.

There's no way other hordes of monsters would come all the way here, but just in case you didn't know, I didn't neglect to keep an eye on it.

“Did you say this demon is a strong one?”

"Yes. So the next one will be a little easier. Instead, the people over there will have a harder time.”

Hwang Soo-young glanced at the Guardians guild members resting a little away and said.

“It will be fine. There are also combat soldiers here. Have you seen it before? It's not a joke.”

The role played by the combat soldiers sent by Ha-jin Kang in this battle was negligible.

What Kim Ji-hye entrusted to them was the role of containment.

However, that alone was enough to confirm the strength of the combatants.

They couldn't get over the wall, but the strength of the soldiers coming together was truly terrifying.

Even if the monster horde is a little stronger, it won't be defeated.

In the meantime, if they deal with the demons and join them, it will be much easier to finish.

“By the way, did you see what that demon was doing earlier?”

Lee Ji-young looked at the two in turn and asked.

The two nodded heavily.

“Didn’t it look like some kind of ritual?”

Hwang Soo-young shook her head at Lee Ji-young's question.

“That’s not it. Earlier, he was digging a hole.”

“A hole?”

The eyes of Lee Ji-young and Kim Ji-hye became as bright as a fire.

"surely······!"

The word “hole” had a thought that came to mind at the same time.

It was the maggot monster that we fought in Japan.

Didn't I say that the maggot monster was drilling a hole in the dimension?

So Japan became this shape.

“How do you know that…?”

Hwang Soo-young took a deep breath.

“It’s been a really long time since a quest appeared.”

"Yes? Quest?”

"Yeah. quest. It's like killing a hole-drilling demon. at no cost. Sheesh.”

Ji-hye Kim and Ji-young Lee looked blankly at Hwang Soo-young, then suddenly came to their senses and got up.

“Are other demons doing this too?”

“Perhaps? So, the quest must have appeared, right?”

Then it's not the time to be like this, is it?

Even though the hole was closed, the gates of hell opened in Japan. But what if the hole is properly drilled?

Perhaps the gates of hell will open to the world.

“Let’s go. If we don’t deal with it before we drill the hole, it could be a disaster.”

Hwang Soo-young made a strange expression when the two were more active than him.

Apparently, these two were not the only ones in a hurry.

All the key members of the Guardian stood up and prepared to move.

They moved quickly towards the second demon.

* * *

“It’s not too late now. How about just going with us?”

There was a little concern on William's face.

Even so, what they were trying to do now was absolutely lagging behind.

But if you hang up the Defenders supporters like that, how are you going to deal with it later?

I was already thinking of things to fix, and my head was pounding.

"I do not care. Because everyone will never go back.”

“You can’t go back?”

William glanced at Jason and the Awoken who followed, with a surprised expression.

The number of Awoken following now was a whopping 200.

It wasn't just Awakening, but only 200 of the Defenders' highest Awakened people.

In fact, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they accounted for more than half of the Defenders' total power, except for the real Defenders members including Jason.

They were such important awakeners.

But you use them all as consumables?

William's expression hardened.

“Does that make sense? Are you going to end the Defenders here?”

Jason shook his head.

"no. We will change boats.”

“Changing boats?”

“From Defenders to Guardians. Anyway, I didn't like it from the first time I decided on a name."

“Originally, we were going to use the name Guardians. If they hadn't become famous in such a short period of time, we could have taken them."

"done. It's a thing of the past anyway, and now I'm going to have to get the rest of the names.

“Well, if things go smoothly, maybe it will. Do I still need to consume them?”

“Do you think the four of us will be able to stop the Guardians?”

Jason asked, looking at William with cold eyes.

William calmly grasped the situation and tried to estimate the power of the Guardians who entered Marbas's dungeon. And he compared it to himself.

If there was no such thing as Marbas, it was their defeat.

The current strong Ha-jin was that strong.

Isn't he the only one who defeated Ash?

“But did Ha-jin Kang really beat Ash?”

“I don’t know. Because we didn't see the process. But the results say it all.”

That's right. In any case, Ash, who went to catch Ha-jin Kang, disappeared, and Ha-jin Kang returned intact.

If Ash had not died, it would have been impossible for him.

“They will face the Guardians’ guild members in the dungeon.”

“Would you like to hear me?”

In any case, the Defenders were an organization created to save the Earth.

But will the Awoken of the Defenders really try to attack the Guardians who act with the same purpose?

“I will listen. The Guardians will look like monsters to them.”

“What do you mean?”

“They are the ones who will throw it away anyway. I was injected with nokula.”

"What? Nokula? How else did you get it?”

Jason grinned.

“Ash has the recipe. It was a bit difficult to find materials, but Ash mostly solved that.”

William's expression hardened. It's because Ash knows that he's not the kind of guy who can tell you that without paying anything.

“What did Ash take in return?”

Jason glanced at Jennifer. William's eyes widened when he saw it.

A magical curtain wrapped around the two of them. William cut off the sound.

“You passed Jennifer over to Ash? Are you crazy?”

“Anyway, Ash is dead, and Jennifer is fine, right? Then it happened.”(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

William shut his mouth. In the end, it wasn't wrong. But there was a serious crack in his heart.

The moment he sold his mate, his trust in Jason was gone.

Still, he wrote No Kula, so the Defenders problem was solved.

Nokula was a powerful hallucinogen created based on magical power.

It was also a very detailed and excellent hallucinogen that could show hallucinations at the desired time and in any way the injector wants.

If that was the case, it was nothing more than making the Guardians look like monsters.

William glanced at Jennifer.

Jennifer can't leave the Defenders. No, it's more accurate that he can't leave Jason. Because Jason has Jennifer's core.

In other words, Jason and Jennifer were precisely contractual.

Of course, it was a one-sided relationship that favored Jason. It was a contract in exchange for Jennifer's life before she came to Earth.

It was clear that the core of the contract had been handed over to Ash.

William's head got complicated and he pressed his fingers against his temple.

A headache came suddenly.

* * *

Ha-jin Kang carefully observed the changes in the labyrinth that were gradually spreading.

Then he tried to understand its essence.

It wasn't easy, but it wasn't impossible either. Because Hajin Kang's current sense was not normal.

Kang Ha-jin's skill [Proudly Peeking], which he has been consistently using, has continuously stimulated his senses, so his senses have developed tremendously.

Also, the hard work of trying to sense the power of the system has sharpened my sense of the power of the source.

Using all her senses, she could see where the change in the labyrinth came from.

Now that was some kind of dimensional erosion.

It just couldn't be done. There has to be a mechanism to make something possible.

And Hajin Kang could roughly guess what it was.

‘These are demons outside.’

Somehow, I thought that the demons had not come too far compared to before their return, but they were just an advance squad.

An advance party to drill a dimensional hole and overlay Marbas' Labyrinth on the dungeon here.

‘Then Marvas hasn’t come yet?’

Intuitively, Ha-jin Kang realized that when that labyrinth was completed, the foundation for Marvass to come to this place would be complete.

‘Then what should I do?’

In this situation, there was not much Kang Ha-jin could do.

He had no idea how to prevent the dimension from overwriting the dimension.

The only thing that Ha-jin Kang could do in this situation was the book of Rapacid.

He hurriedly unfolded it from there.

Surprisingly, it worked. It was thanks to the continuous improvement of his skill level.

But that alone is not a fundamental solution.

Although the progress was noticeably slow, Kang Ha-jin was still troubled as he watched the ever-changing labyrinth.

She thought about what she would do and she thought again.
