Ti passed.
Su Lie grew increasingly anxious.
He couldn't defeat the three demonic beasts in front of him.
He couldn't even fight back.
And behind them, hundreds more were closing in.
After over a decade defending the Great Wall,
Su Lie, commander of the Wall Guard, had long stopped fearing death.
But what he couldn't allow,
was for these monsters to breach the gates behind him.
Behind that gate were countless civilians.
Many of them were children.
"Damn it!"
Watching the demonic horde draw near, Su Lie clenched his fists tightly.
If only I had more power…
Power…?
Suddenly, a thought struck him.
A dark gleam surged across his arms, spreading to the blade in his grip.
Armant Haki.
He had purchased it just yesterday, after receiving a red envelope from Carl in the group store.
He'd tested it briefly then, its power was real.
Once activated, it turned his body as hard as steel.
But today…
he'd been so preoccupied with the market's grand opening,
and then blindsided by the sudden ambush,
that he had completely forgotten he even had it.
Now, with Haki flowing through his limbs,
Su Lie charged once more into the fray.
He still couldn't take them down…
But now, he wasn't just defending.
He could fight back.
His strength and endurance had clearly improved thanks to the Haki.
Still,
these three weren't going down anyti soon.
And the hundreds behind them… were now only five ters away.
It's not enough.
If only I had an upgraded version of Haki…
Then I could wipe them all out on my own.
Su Lie let out a quiet breath.
He could feel himself nearing the edge.
But this ti,
he didn't panic.
Because rembering the Haki reminded him of sothing else,
The group chat.
After a few quick clashes with the beasts,
Su Lie abruptly pulled back.
He withdrew from the gates, abandoning his defensive position.
Then, without hesitation, he opened the chat group interface.
『Wall Guard Commander』: @GodAmongn @everyone
『Wall Guard Commander』: Carl-sama, everyone…
『Wall Guard Commander』: This is an ergency. The gate city is under attack. I need your help!
『King of the Heavenly Blade』: ??
『King of the Heavenly Blade』: What happened, General Su?
『What Do I Do, My Sister Has Chuunibyou?』: Yeah, what's with the sudden panic?
『What Do I Do, My Sister Has Chuunibyou?』: Wasn't the market just bustling a mont ago?
『Princess of the Senju』: General Su, don't worry. Just tell us what's going on.
『Wall Guard Commander』: These monsters are incredibly dangerous.
『Wall Guard Commander』: They're beast-like, with imnse physical strength.
『Wall Guard Commander』: So even possess strange powers.
『Wall Guard Commander』: Now, hundreds have appeared outside the city.
『Wall Guard Commander』: There are no guards here, only civilians. Please, help protect them!
『What Do I Do, My Sister Has Chuunibyou?』: This is beyond …
『What Do I Do, My Sister Has Chuunibyou?』: Carl-sama, please do sothing! @GodAmongn
『God Among Mortals』: I'd help if I could… but
『God Among Mortals』: [No mission has been posted in the group. I can't cross over yet.]
『Wall Guard Commander』: Then… how do I post a mission?
『God Among Mortals』: I'm not sure. I've never done it myself. @Princess of the Senju
『King of the Heavenly Blade』: Didn't Tsunade post one before? How'd she do it?
『Princess of the Senju』: Uh… I'm not really sure.
『Princess of the Senju』: I just really wanted to save Nawaki… and the mission popped up.
『Wall Guard Commander』: I want to save these people just as badly…
『Wall Guard Commander』: But nothing's showing up!
『Princess of the Senju』: Maybe… you have to offer a reward?
『King of the Heavenly Blade』: That might be it.
『King of the Heavenly Blade』: I rember Tsunade used all her points to post her mission.
『Princess of the Senju』: That's right! I used all my check-in points back then!
『Wall Guard Commander』: I see… then I'll try that.
『Wall Guard Commander』: [I'm offering all 49 of my remaining points to anyone who can help defeat the monsters and protect the city!]
That was everything he had left.
After buying Armant Haki, Su Lie had handed out the rest of his points in a red envelope.
If he hadn't claid a share for himself, he would've had nothing left.
『What Do I Do, My Sister Has Chuunibyou?』: Whoa! A mission just popped up!
『What Do I Do, My Sister Has Chuunibyou?』: Now I know how to post one! I'll try next ti too!
『What Do I Do, My Sister Has Chuunibyou?』: Too bad it says "Extrely Difficult." I can't handle that…
『Princess of the Senju』: "Extrely Difficult"? Mine just says "Difficult"...
『King of the Heavenly Blade』: Mine says "Extrely Difficult" too.
『King of the Heavenly Blade』: Maybe the rating changes based on our strength?
『What Do I Do, My Sister Has Chuunibyou?』: Yeah, that makes sense.
『Wall Guard Commander』: Carl-sama… the mission…
『What Do I Do, My Sister Has Chuunibyou?』: This is life and death.
『What Do I Do, My Sister Has Chuunibyou?』: Carl-sama, please save the city! @GodAmongn
In the World of Kings
Su Lie saw the new mission notification appear in the group chat.
At last,
the tension in his face began to ease.
Carl had accepted it.
Now, there was nothing more to fear.
This was the man who could travel through ti…
and raise the dead.
Compared to that,
what were a few hundred monsters?
Just then, the three demonic beasts before him suddenly lunged.
Seeing Su Lie's calm expression, their fury boiled over.
Are you mocking us?!
You were on the verge of death just a mont ago!
With a thunderous roar, the trio launched their assault.
Su Lie once again activated his Armant Haki and t them head-on.
anwhile, the rest of the horde surged past him, rushing toward the gates.
So had already spilled into the city's outer streets.
"GRRAAAHHH!!"
Seeing the crowd of defenseless civilians,
the monsters let out shrieks that sounded more like laughter.
As if… they were enjoying the slaughter to co.
And then,
A figure descended from the sky.
Jet-black hair.
Sharp, piercing eyes.
A face as radiant as it was fierce.
An S-shaped emblem glead on his chest.
A sleek black battle suit hugged his powerful fra,
a flowing cape trailing behind him like a storm.
Carl.
