Chapter 106
The Grim Reaper Returns from Death (2)
“Haa… This sucks…”
Kang Hyeon sighed as he ran his hand through his hair.
“What’s going on? Are those people ability users?”
“Look at that. Is that so kind of portal?”
“They’re all foreigners.”
“Hey. Isn’t this bad? Shouldn’t we run away…?”
The trainees, confused by the sudden situation, murmured among themselves.
The instructors, equally unprepared for this scenario, could only stand there dumbfounded.
“Director. What’s happening here…?”
The forr training director, Jeong Jong-ho, approached Kang Hyeon with an anxious expression.
“Don’t move at all. Keep the students under control.”
“Excuse …?”
“Just do as I say. If you want to live.”
Jeong Jong-ho couldn’t understand, but Kang Hyeon’s expression was so frightening that he quietly nodded.
“Phew…”
The ability users that kept pouring out seed to number over 100.
Each of them possessed considerably strong magical power.
‘That unpleasant hybrid magic… It’s them after all.’
Kang Hyeon knew the identity of that magic.
The Kangshin Guild.
More precisely, it was the magic possessed by the mbers of the Free Ability Users Liberation Alliance.
Kang Hyeon looked at the man emitting an overwhelming magical power among them.
It was magical power far stronger than any ability user he had seen so far.
A level that couldn’t even be compared to his own.
‘What kind of monster is that?’
Kang Hyeon estimated that the man’s magic level would easily exceed 70.
At the sa ti, Kang Hyeon thought this must be how others felt when they saw his strength and stamina.
That’s how overwheld Kang Hyeon was by the man’s magical power.
“Mr. Kang Hyeon.”
At that mont, Shin Seong-a, who was there as an instructor, cautiously approached.
“What.”
“Please run away.”
“What?”
Kang Hyeon glared at her sharply, but Shin Seong-a’s face was serious.
“As you know, these are not ordinary people.”
“So?”
“To be frank. The life of you alone, Mr. Kang Hyeon, is more important than the lives of all these students combined. If we cause confusion by making all the trainees escape at once, at least you will be able to escape for sure.”
Kang Hyeon smirked at Shin Seong-a’s words.
It reminded him of when he once thought about the weight of death.
“Don’t worry. I…”
Suddenly, interrupting Kang Hyeon’s words, two n approached.
“So you’re Kang Hyeon.”
“…”
One was the man Kang Hyeon assud to be the leader, and the other seed to be an interpreter.
“Nice to et you. I am Bandarenko, the leader of the Free Ability Users Liberation Alliance.”
Bandarenko spoke with a smile, but Kang Hyeon’s expression remained cold.
“I doubt you ca just to say hello. What’s your purpose?”
“Purpose? Isn’t it obvious? Revenge.”
“…”
“You not only ruined our alliance’s plans but also rcilessly crushed the assassin we sent. And you did it in front of everyone.”
It was the story of Park Song-min.
On the first day of the Ability User Cultivation School.
When Kang Hyeon destroyed Park Song-min, so trainees recorded it and uploaded it to YouTube.
And it went viral.
The video of Park Song-min collapsing surpassed ten million views in just a few days, and Park Song-min’s identity was naturally revealed as well.
Bandarenko had suffered from insomnia for days after that due to anger.
“I must restore the honor of our alliance that has been tarnished.”
“Haa…”
“Kang Hyeon. I’ll make you a final offer. Co with us quietly. Then we’ll let everyone here go unhard.”
“I’ll do as you say, so send these people away right now.”
Kang Hyeon had no choice.
As he said, he would revive even if he died.
But for the trainees gathered here, and Shin Seong-a, death would be the end.
Saving their lives was the most important thing.
“Oh? I heard you were quite rebellious, but this is unexpected.”
At that mont, Bandarenko smiled with a hint of madness.
“Kill them.”
At Bandarenko’s order, the man who first grabbed the instructor nodded.
“Huh, uh..? Aaaagh!”
The dagger plunged deep into the instructor’s neck in an instant.
Kang Hyeon raged as he saw the instructor’s neck cut off without a chance to react.
“You son of a bitch… What the hell are you doing!?”
“Isn’t it boring if things go too smoothly? Kuhahaha!”
At the man’s words, Kang Hyeon realized.
‘This bastard never intended to let the people here go.’
Kang Hyeon’s mind raced quickly.
‘There’s no choice…’
Having made a decision, Kang Hyeon called Shin Seong-a.
“Seong-a…”
“Yes.”
Although it was almost a whisper, Shin Seong-a sohow heard and answered.
“When I give the signal, run away.”
“I refuse.”
“Listen to . These bastards intend to kill us all. Soone needs to escape and report this.”
“Then you should escape, Mr. Kang Hyeon. I’ll stay here.”
Watching the two whispering, Bandarenko smiled mockingly.
“I don’t know what you’re plotting, but escaping from here is impossible. Just wait quietly for your death.”
“Shut up!”
Kang Hyeon, yelling at Bandarenko, grabbed Shin Seong-a.
“Listen carefully. I don’t die even if I’m killed. I revive. It’s hard to believe, but you have to. So, apart from , the person with the highest chance of escaping from here is you. Do you understand?”
Shin Seong-a was flustered by Kang Hyeon’s rapid-fire words.
“Mr. Kang Hyeon. I don’t understand what you’re saying…”
“Get a grip! We don’t have ti!”
Kang Hyeon looked straight into Shin Seong-a’s eyes.
“This isn’t a request, it’s an order as your guild leader. Do you understand?”
“Yes… I understand.”
“You must relay this situation to Team Leader Shin Tae-gil. I’m counting on you.”
Shin Seong-a nodded with a hardened expression.
There were slight tears in her eyes.
“Is the strategy eting over?”
“Yeah. Thanks to you, it ended well. Thank you.”
Bandarenko laughed heartily at Kang Hyeon’s words.
“Hahaha! I’m really curious to see how you’ll struggle. Hey, you’re recording this well, right?”
“Yes.”
A subordinate holding a cara responded to Bandarenko’s words.
It was a cara capable of filming inside dungeons, purchased at a great expense for today.
“Now, let’s begin. The whole world will clearly see what happens to those who ss with our Free Ability Users Liberation Alliance.”
“You’re talking nonsense.”
At Bandarenko’s declaration, Kang Hyeon made an expression tinged with madness, different from before.
“Did you get shot in the head? What’s with this middle school-like concept? And you guys attacked first, to begin with. Shit. Park Song-min? That assassin incident too. Why is it my fault he got beaten? You should have sent a strong guy from the start. You sent such a weak bastard, so that’s what happened. Well, just looking at how you all rushed here, I can tell your level.”
The interpreter froze, unable to say anything in response to Kang Hyeon’s rapid-fire swearing.
“What did he say?”
“Well, that…”
The interpreter didn’t know what to do, but when Bandarenko glared at him, he had no choice but to speak.
“…”
Bandarenko’s eyes trembled after hearing the interpreter’s words.
“I was going to give you one last consideration out of respect for your manliness… But I guess that’s impossible now.”
“What are you going to do if it’s not possible? Fuck you. You bastard! Go eat shit!”
Kang Hyeon raised both hands and extended his middle fingers forcefully.
[Roar of the Enraged Lion has been activated]
[All enemies’ morale and abilities have decreased]
At the sa ti, Bandarenko also let out a roar.
“Kill him!”

Ippotranslation

The tension peaked to the point where her whole body tingled.
Her chest felt like it would burst from the frustration.
Irritation endlessly washed over her due to her inability to act as she wished.
In the whirlpool of various emotions, Shin Seong-a took a deep breath.
“Phew… Haah…”
It was a situation where an ordinary person’s mind would go blank, but Shin Seong-a felt her head becoming clearer instead.
-Listen carefully. I don’t die even if I’m killed. I revive. It’s hard to believe, but you have to.
He revives even if he dies.
It was incredibly hard to believe.
But she had to believe it.
Because Kang Hyeon said so.
Shin Seong-a could only believe and follow.
-Grr.
She must have unknowingly tensed up, as the sound of her teeth grinding could be heard.
‘Soon…’
The psychological warfare between Kang Hyn and Bandarenko reached its peak.
“Kill him”
Bandarenko’s shout finally erupted.
As if it were a signal flare, chaos broke out.
“Trainees! Run if you want to live!”
“Kyaaah!”
“Shit. What is this!?”
“Uwaah!”
Kang Hyeon created magic spheres and threw them in all directions.
It wasn’t his usual movent considering magic distribution.
It looked as if he was pouring out everything.
With a thunderous sound, dust rose, and the trainees scattered in all directions.
But most of them were caught by the enemies before they could go far.
‘As stealthily as possible…’
Shin Seong-a moved quickly between people while hiding her presence.
Stealth was a specialty she was quite confident in.
Although she hadn’t reached the level of ability users specialized in assassination, when she was determined to hide, she rarely got caught.
“Kang Hyeon’s subordinate is escaping!”
“Catch her!”
Contrary to her thoughts just monts ago, they imdiately noticed her.
‘Were they watching from the start?’
Shin Seong-a judged that they had known her identity and watched her carefully from the beginning.
-Taat!
Shin Seong-a gave up on hiding her presence and ran towards the entrance with all her might.
“You there! Quickly chase her!”
“Surround her!”
“Block the path!”
The enemies quickly ford a formation to block Shin Seong-a’s path.
There wasn’t ti to deal with all of them.
‘Even if I take so damage, passing through is…’
Her thoughts were interrupted.
Because Kang Hyeon, who had co running from sowhere, jumped at the enemies.
“Get out of the way!”
“Argh!”
Kang Hyeon rampaged in all directions without regard for his own body.
Glancing sideways, she could see that he had been wounded and was bleeding.
‘I have to do the job given to .’
She wanted to help Kang Hyeon right away, but she couldn’t waste the opportunity he had created with such effort.
Shin Seong-a quickly passed by Kang Hyeon, taking advantage of the confusion.
Thank you.
I’m sorry.
She didn’t say any words.
Rather than wasting a breath on a single word, taking one more strong step forward was what she could do for Kang Hyeon.
“I believe in you!”
Kang Hyeon’s shout was heard from behind.
Shin Seong-a didn’t look back.
She just ran towards the dungeon entrance.
“Haa, haa…”
After running like that for a while.
Finally, the dungeon entrance ca into view.
“That’s…”
Six ability users were standing in front of it.
They were all foreigners.
“Phew…”
Shin Seong-a slowed her pace to catch her breath.
Checking behind, there were no enemies chasing her.
“Oh? A woman is coming?”
“She’s quite sexy!”
“Hahaha! You idiots! That’s Kang Hyeon’s subordinate, Shin Seong-a.”
The ability users chattered excitedly among themselves in Russian.
“I was annoyed about just guarding the entrance, but to think such an opportunity would present itself! Alliance Leader, thank you!”
“Hahaha! There won’t be any boring monts!”
Shin Seong-a couldn’t understand what they were saying, but it didn’t matter.
‘It’s obvious anyway.’
Just by their tone and atmosphere, she could already grasp enough.
Criminals seed to be not much different whether in Korea or abroad.
‘What’s important now is how to break through these guys.’
Her specialty was long-range combat.
She was now sowhat confident in close combat after countless practice sessions, but that didn’t give her the certainty of defeating these guys.
‘These guys aren’t just so random thugs.’
They were clearly powerful ability users accustod to battle, even at a glance.
Their magical power would undoubtedly far surpass her level.
In all likelihood, it was an impossible fight.
‘But I still have to do it.’
Shin Seong-a had been preparing endlessly for days like this.
Rembering An Yu-seong who had been teaching her all this ti, she drew her dagger.
