Chapter 76: I am a Returnee.
Returnee.
Beings of whom only 3 exist in the entire world.
If S-Ranks are called Transcendents who have transcended Awakened, then Returnees are truly a new species that has transcended Transcendents.
Yes, they were those called gods.
So the viewers couldn't close their mouths seeing Yoo jin calling himself a Returnee while filling the screen.
"A Returnee?"
"In our country?"
"Isn't that person that teacher?"
"That's right. The one who smashed S-Rank Kang Si-wook......."
Citizens who knew Yoo jin's face and na due to this and that incident were shocked.
And in countries that did not possess a Returnee, eyes were sparkling at the appearance of a new Returnee.
"Hurry! Contact the embassy!"
"I will go!"
"The President will move personally...."
"Shut up! We lost the one in Japan to China because we acted so complacently!"
Was it because of the precedent of the island nation?
To win the heart of the newly appeared Returnee, Asia, Europe, South Arica.
From nearby countries to distant countries.
Because of the single word Returnee, fire began to fall on the feet of the figures sitting in the highest positions of the nations.
And
The 3 Returnees called gods.
The face of the fourth Returnee who had newly appeared was being clearly captured in their eyes as well.
"A new Returnee......."
Supre King.
Heavenly King.
Holy King.
Expressions that could not be deciphered were ford on the faces of those who had been sitting in the seats of gods until now.
***
Whether he knew or not that his single word was causing a trendous flapping of wings in the world.
Yoo jin was checking if the screen was receiving well with Kim Chun-sik, who was holding the cara.
"Yes, yes....... It seems to be coming out well."
It seed he was shouting to be saved on the 90th floor of hell just a mont ago, but now Kim Chun-sik did not have a single speck of anxiety left in his heart.
Rather, instead of anxiety, he even felt a sense of comfort now.
As if he wasn't in Yeoncheon, the restricted area.
The reason he felt such comfort was partly because the man in front of him revealed he was a Returnee, but more than that.
"Wow, does the cara look like so kind of artifact?"
Because of Yoo jin showing a carefree appearance that did not match this situation at all.
An attitude and expression where tension could not be found at all.
There was even playfulness in his voice.
He didn't know if he truly had the power, or if he could resolve this situation itself.
However.
A smile that ford without him knowing.
There was not an inch of falsehood in the serenity of this man in front of his eyes.
Expectation.
Trust.
The emotion called hope began to bloom on Kim Chun-sik's face, which had been full of only despairing emotions.
It was amazing.
The situation was the sa.
The Guild Masters and Vice Guild Masters of the 3 Great Guilds of Korea were still collapsed.
Just one person.
The atmosphere of this place changed in an instant just by the appearance of this person nad Yoo jin.
"Perhaps......."
At that mont.
A scream was heard from afar in the ears of Kim Chun-sik, who was holding the cara.
The cara moved.
The battle between the remaining forces of the Ignis Guild and the ordinary giants was captured in the view.
Strictly speaking, it was a picture closer to a massacre and a purge of defeated soldiers rather than a battle.
One-eyed giants were killing the Awakened who had lost their will to fight one by one with wooden clubs the size of people.
"Ugh......."
A groan flowed from Kim Chun-sik's mouth.
Originally, soldiers who have lost their formation cannot exert their full power.
Clearly, just at the beginning, they ford groups and systematically overwheld the giants one by one, but now they were all scattered and becoming prey for the giants.
And it wasn't just Kim Chun-sik and the cara capturing that scene.
"......."
The Ignis Guild mbers facing death were seen in Yoo jin's view.
Personnel struggling.
Personnel looking at the clubs falling above their heads having given up.
Etc.......
Behind the figures of those personnel whose nas and faces he didn't know caught in one angle.
The figure of Cho Sang-geun trembling while collapsed was captured.
And the ti he first t him ca to Yoo jin's mind.
'Not a lackey. My family.'
Yoo jin scratched his cheek showing signs of annoyance.
But a smile more pleasant than ever hung on his lips.
Yoo jin plucked a few strands of hair.
"Well....... He says they're family, so what can I do."
As he blew on the final period and sent the hair flying.
Poof!
Poof!
Clones appeared.
"Have to save them."
At that one word, dozens of clones with the sa appearance as Yoo jin scattered quickly.
And
Thud!
Thud!
Sounds of sothing heavy hitting the ground rang out here and there.
***
Ignis affiliated B-Rank Tanker, Lee Chang-ju.
He was soone who Awakened at a relatively late age.
Strictly speaking, a human who realized his power due to a Dungeon Break that appeared near the hospital the very next day after his daughter was born.
Whether it responded to his heart wanting to protect his child, or if it just happened to be the ti of Awakening then, no one knows.
Lee Chang-ju cheered.
There was the reason of gaining power to protect his child, but what kind of era is it now.
The Era of Great Awakening.
An era where Awakened are more precious and treated better than celebrities or businessn.
On top of that, since a quite high rank called B-Rank ca out.
It was truly an instant rise in status from an insignificant salaryman to a Hunter with a bright future.
Perhaps luck followed, he was able to enter one of the 3 Great Guilds of Korea called Ignis Guild right away.
He ca to possess money and a life he couldn't even imagine when he was a regular company employee.
Although he couldn't compare to S-Ranks or A-Ranks.
Still, the lottery.
It felt just like winning the lottery.
As if all the world's luck was flocking to him.......
He only thought so.
That is.
Until he was certain that now was the last mont of his life.
The unfocused eyes of the giant.
Rather than the club falling straight toward his head.
"Ye-eun......."
His daughter who couldn't even run yet.
He missed her so much.
Rather than the thought of wanting to live.
That he couldn't watch his daughter growing up.
That she had to live alone without a father.......
It stabbed his heart.
Lee Chang-ju, who was looking at the falling club, closed his eyes.
Like that, he was accepting death.
.
.
.
Boom!!!
A trendous sound that could be felt even with his skin struck Lee Chang-ju's ears.
And,
One second.
Two seconds.
As the flow of ti that should have stopped was felt, Lee Chang-ju slowly opened his eyes.
Spitting out unbelievable words.
"Why....... am I alive?"
A figure half-blocking his view.
Soone's back was seen.
The back of a person wearing a normal suit, not an artifact or armor.
And when he turned half-way to look at him.
Lee Chang-ju ca to know clearly why he was alive.
"Did you say Ye-eun?"
Behind Yoo jin's voice, the giant who lost its head collapsed to the floor.
"Yes...? Yes, that is my daughter......."
"No, why do people always call nas right before dying? It feels icky."
The dust raised as the giant collapsed.
Through that, Lee Chang-ju saw clearly.
"Go back and call the na yourself."
It was a grumbling tone, but.
The smile of a man that was being ford more beautifully than any laughter.
***
"Amazing as always whenever I see it."
"Have you seen this ability?"
"No. Not the ability, the strength."
Yoo jin's clones were seen in the gaze of Cho Sang-geun and Lee Si-wang, who had half-raised their bodies.
Whether fists or kicks.
Clones bursting the giants' heads with a single attack.
In front of them, the giants' heads bursting like firecrackers.
Yoo jin's clones, moving at a speed the eyes couldn't chase, defeated all the remaining giants.
Let alone a minute.
That short ti that wasn't even a few seconds.
The giant race that made Yeoncheon a restricted area for a long ti of 5 years was annihilated.
Yoo jin's clones handled the monsters, which required several B-Rank Awakened to form a team to barely catch, too easily as if an elephant was stepping on ants to kill them.
At that sight, the mouths of Cho Sang-geun and Lee Si-wang, who were covered in blood all over their bodies, did not close.
Kim Chun-sik who was holding the cara too.
And the viewers far away who would be watching this in real-ti too.
When the one-eyed giants, which were trash mobs, all disappeared.
"Good work!"
The clones who finished their work disappeared making a 'poof' sound.
Step.
Step.
The following footsteps headed toward Cho Sang-geun and Lee Si-wang.
"You got beaten by guys like these?"
Yoo jin shook his head and looked down at Cho Sang-geun and Lee Si-wang.
"You acted all tough talking about the 3 Great Guilds of Korea and whatnot. Tsk tsk."
It was a remark ignoring them to their faces, but neither Cho Sang-geun nor Lee Si-wang could spit out any words.
Because the deed he just perford was sothing no human could do.
Even if he swore harshly, they would have kept their mouths shut.
And although he seed to speak a bit roughly.
Since they now knew for sure that the person nad Yoo jin spoke like that only to people he was interested in.
Therefore.
"Thank you."
Cho Sang-geun said with half-closed eyes.
The following silence.
Yoo jin, who couldn't endure that awkward atmosphere, kicked the innocent ground and cleared his throat.
"Gratitude doesn't suit you. Buy hamburgers or sothing when we get back. My kids had to do self-study because of you. Or give them a tour of that Ignis Guild or sothing."
"I will do anything."
"That's a promise. You."
"I will do so. If we return......."
The conversation coming and going cut off.
Cho Sang-geun's gaze, which was looking at Yoo jin, moved.
"The real thing starts now."
Yoo jin's gaze moving following Cho Sang-geun's gaze heading towards the back.
In his view, four massive giants that couldn't even be compared to the giants he had dealt with until now were seen.
Even darker color and a massive body that seed to pierce the sky.
And a Rune embedded in the chest.
Lee Si-wang, who had been quiet until now, opened his mouth.
"Be careful. 5 years ago, this Yeoncheon beca a restricted area because of just one of those entities. Even if you combine all the normal giants you just defeated, they don't compare......."
Yoo jin, who was looking at the giants with Runes embedded in their chests, swept his chin.
"Nothing's different except they're a bit bigger? It's just a bit different that they copied UltraXan on their chests."
"Really, even in this situation......."
"What, did I say sothing wrong?"
"Think about the situation. The cara is rolling too."
"No, did I say sothing I shouldn't? Also, you haven't said thank you since earlier? If I hadn't co, you'd have ascended already, dude."
Cho Sang-geun, who was capturing the bickering of the two, smiled.
"As expected....... It was good to attach him......."
At the monologue spat out with difficulty, Yoo jin looked down at Cho Sang-geun.
"What? Why are you smiling? Is it ti to go now?"
"It seems the Grim Reaper is telling to co, but not yet....... I can't go."
"Guild Master......."
Cho Sang-geun's head, which was spitting out words, gradually dropped.
He had reached the point where he couldn't hold on even with ntal strength.
"Stop enduring and just sleep. It's all over anyway."
Yoo jin moved his steps.
"Be careful. Those monsters are on a different dinsion."
"Different dinsion, huh......."
Lee Si-wang's words were true.
100 Awakened turned to dust with a single roar.
Transcendent Cho Sang-geun and A-Rank No. 1 Lee Si-wang attacked together, but they couldn't defeat even one yet.
There were as many as four of such massive giants.
Four massive giants that soared as if to pierce the sky were looking down at Yoo jin.
Like massive mountains.
"A guy teaching kids shouldn't carelessly spit out words saying it's a different dinsion."
"I am not a teacher......."
"I let you be the assistant horoom teacher sotis. And will do so in the future."
"No, another joke......."
"It's not a joke."
A bleak chill made Lee Si-wang close his lips.
Yoo jin's back filled his view.
"Different dinsion. If a teacher concludes it like that, the kids will think that's all there is. So you watch clearly too."
In an instant, the sky began to be covered with dark clouds.
To be precise, dark clouds appeared only above the massive barrier covering Yeoncheon like a do.
As one of Yoo jin's hands was slowly raised to the sky, a blue flash squird inside the dark clouds.
"This is when you use the phrase 'different dinsion'."
As Yoo jin spat it out lightly, the sky roared roughly as if responding to his voice.
"Strike."
Flash―!
In an instant, the barrier disappeared.
And the lightning that struck down from the sky turned the giants into ash in a single mont.
