-So how was it, checking it out for yourself?
"It was incredibly satisfying."
Lee Shin smiled, recalling the scene he had created a mont ago.
Not only had his realm risen, allowing him to use sword aura, but he had also undergone another transformation, allowing him to move his internal energy much more freely than before, and his senses had beco sharper.
It was to the point where he had killed all the enemies within his senses with a single swing of his spear.
At Lee Shin's answer, Cheon Yuhwa smiled as if she had expected it and said.
-Then that's good. Leave the cleanup of that territory to the guys who were originally there, and you move to the next territory right away.
"What? Are you that short on manpower?"
-There's that, but if you've played around to your heart's content until now, you have to pay the price.
"How petty."
Lee Shin grumbled so, but he got up from his seat without a word.
Because now he was in the mood to use this power thoughtlessly.
Just as Lee Shin got up from his seat and was about to move to the next territory Cheon Yuhwa had ntioned.
-I'm sorry, but I don't think that will be possible.
A being interrupted their conversation.
"Huh?"
"What, is that you, Muel?"
At the familiar voice that was hard to forget, their conversation naturally stopped, and at the sa ti, a pure white light enveloped the two.
It was a very sudden situation, but Lee Shin quietly entrusted his body to the halo of light.
-You're here?
When Lee Shin opened his eyes again, before him were the cave walls he had seen to his heart's content for the past three weeks, and Muel.
"What, why did you suddenly call
like this?"
At the mont he had made up his mind to start a full-scale rampage, his movents were suddenly put on hold, so grumbling words ca out of Lee Shin's mouth.
And it was the sa for Cheon Yuhwa.
"It's troubleso if you call us so suddenly. To bring down the church and catch Sernia, we have to move quickly."
It was the point where the active offensive using the resistance was finally starting to catch fire.
Thanks to that, she had been busy working, but being called so suddenly like this, Cheon Yuhwa was also in a very bad mood.
But at Muel's following words, the complaints that had filled their minds disappeared like smoke.
-I'm sorry for calling you so suddenly, but the situation is turning out to be quite unusual. If things go wrong, the plan you're making now could be completely overturned.
"Yes? What do you an by that?"
At Cheon Yuhwa's words, Muel said in a voice mixed with a sigh.
-It seems there's a much crazier guy in the church than I thought.
At Muel's words, Lee Shin's eyes sparkled with interest, and Cheon Yuhwa put a hand on her forehead as if she already had a headache from what was about to co out.
-I felt it while connecting the dinsion with the planet called Earth at your request, but it seems the church guys have thought of sothing similar to you.
"Sothing similar to us? Don't tell ..."
-Yes.
Muel said, pointing with his eyes at the magic circle of the stone gate that was emitting light, receiving his mana.
-They're thinking of summoning beings from other dinsions to fight against you. No, these guys are even worse than that.
Muel said in a serious tone.
-Looking at where they're trying to connect to now, it seems they're planning to launch an all-out offensive with no strategy at all.
"Oh, really?"
"Really?"
At Muel's words, the two answered with different faces.
Looking at them, Muel nodded.
-Yes, these guys are not trying to summon warriors of the sa race like you, but it seems they're trying to open the breeding ground where the creatures God has collected so far are kept.
"...Just for reference, do you know what kind of creatures are in that breeding ground?"
-Hmm, your world, you called it Earth, right? Have you been attacked by Behemoth there?
It was a sowhat sudden question, but Cheon Yuhwa readily nodded.
"Yes, we've been attacked by Behemoth, as well as Leviathan and Ziz."
-Then it will be easy to explain.
Muel said with a small smile, as if it were a good thing.
-If the door to the breeding ground opens, tens of thousands of such creatures will pour out. And among them, a few hundred will be much bigger and stronger than the ones that attacked your world.
"That's going to happen?"
Muel nodded at Cheon Yuhwa's incredulous tone.
-It's not impossible, is it? In the first place, the ones sent to attack other dinsions are mostly young ones to gain experience.
At Muel's words, calling those huge creatures 'young ones', Cheon Yuhwa felt her mind go blank.
'Certainly, the one that ravaged our world in the original future was bigger and stronger... but still, hundreds of monsters stronger than those guys?'
Cheon Yuhwa felt a headache and pressed her forehead with her fingers.
At the sa ti, her mouth was spewing out complaints about the current sudden situation in annoyance.
"No, why are those crazy guys suddenly doing this? Are they protesting that it's their world, so they can do whatever they want with it, whether they break it or not?"
-It's probably because your sche worked too well.
Muel, who had said that, glanced at Lee Shin.
-And the fact that that guy and you caught the Sword of the Earth and the Sword of the Sea also played a part.
At Muel's words, Lee Shin, who had been quietly listening from the side, nodded as if he understood.
"Since they couldn't change the situation, they used a trick to ruin the board altogether, huh?"
-Yes, you're quick to understand.
Lee Shin smiled as if it were interesting at Muel's words.
"Sohow, I thought it was a bit strange when I saw the nobles spending money like water, saying the church would compensate them later, but it was because they were planning to throw it all away."
"What, sothing like that happened?"
"Yeah, I just gave them a taste of it on my way here."
At Lee Shin's nonchalant words, Cheon Yuhwa took a deep breath and cald her mind.
"Haa, it's a foolish move to ruin one's own field... but the problem is that it's too effective."
If what those guys wanted was not mutual destruction, they would have prepared a way to live separately.
And considering the scale of what they were doing now, it would not be a narrow hole that only a few people could enter.
It would probably be a huge, comfortable, and luxurious hole.
And if those guys were to hide in that hole, Cheon Yuhwa would have no choice but to lose the advantageous board she had created by grinding down the organization called the resistance.
As if that weren't enough, they would have to fight against nurous monsters here, not on Earth, and Earth would be in a position to face the pouring monsters, having lost its target to attack.
Grit-
At the thought that the opportunity she had finally grasped could fly away, Cheon Yuhwa gritted her teeth and said.
"By any chance, do you know when those guys will open the door to that place called the breeding ground?"
-Hmm, from the looks of it now, it seems the door will open in about a day. It's partly because they started early, but it seems they've invested a considerable amount of resources.
At Muel's answer, Cheon Yuhwa closed her mouth and thought.
As far as Cheon Yuhwa rembered, the remaining ti needed to connect the gate with Earth was about 10 days.
The thod she had prepared as a move for a coback had been shattered in an instant by the wave of ti.
But rather because of that, Cheon Yuhwa thought even more calmly.
'The place to fight must be here. If I drag the fight to Earth, it won't be a victory even if I win. Then does that an I have to fight with my current forces?'
As Cheon Yuhwa was lowering her head and pondering, Lee Shin said in a light voice.
"Wow, what a sha. It would have been a help if those guys had co."
For reference, Lee Shin had no worries about the current situation at all.
In the first place, Lee Shin had no interest in whether the world was ruined or not, and fighting was his only concern.
Thanks to that, Lee Shin was rather welcoming the current situation.
Because it ant that a situation where he could test the new power he had obtained to his heart's content would unfold.
Lee Shin had spoken without much thought, but that single statent caused a small but large ripple.
-What, are there more guys like you on Earth?
"Yes, there are people who would be helpful even if such a thing happened."
-How many?
"Uh, less than ten, right?"
-Is that so...
At Cheon Yuhwa's words, Muel closed his mouth as if pondering sothing.
At that, Cheon Yuhwa looked at Muel with eyes full of expectation, and Lee Shin looked at him with eyes full of curiosity.
-Alright, if it's that number, it seems possible if I push myself a little.
Muel, who had muttered so, looked at Cheon Yuhwa and said.
-Contact a guy who can be a power right now and tell him to stand on the magic circle.
"Yes? Right now?"
-Yes.
At Muel's words, Cheon Yuhwa nodded, took out a communication device, and relayed the ssage to Lee Hyun-young and Irin.
Muel looked at her and explained.
-I can't make a door big enough for hundreds of people to use right now as planned. But I can open a door small enough for a few people to move through for a short ti.
At Muel's words, Cheon Yuhwa's eyes sparkled as if it were a salvation, and Lee Shin looked at Muel with eyes that said 'as expected, you're amazing'.
If Muel's words were true, the Ten Kings on Earth would co, but it didn't matter.
Because it didn't seem like his prey would decrease just because they ca.
As the two were thinking about the battle to co, Muel added.
-And when I open the door and bring your comrades, there's sothing you, no, to be precise, the incarnation of the Heavenly Killing Star, you, have to do.
"?"
-Yes, you.
Lee Shin looked at Muel as if to ask what it was.
At that, Muel let out a slightly tired and sowhat welcoming smile and said.
-You'll have to kill .
