No way.
Suddenly, sothing crossed my mind. The Disaster. Kwon Jae-hyuk said that it might have sothing to do with that.
A disaster that will appear in a year.
Is this the butterfly effect caused by ? While everyone stared at the ominous sky with a frown. A crack appeared in the sky above the base camp.
Oh?
Sothing like black smoke billowed through the crack. It gradually increased its volu as if trying to widen the entrance, and the gap widened bit by bit. Inside the space that opened up, it looked so black and dark that it looked like the jaws of a monster. When everyone couldnt take their eyes off, everyone was shocked and agitated when sothing fell from it.
The object from the crack fell over the base camp. The crack quickly disappeared as if it had finished its work. Even if the cracked sky disappeared as if nothing had happened, the sky was still blood red.
[Is it a person?]1
Soone muttered. He said it as he saw the object floating in the air. Everyone looked at the object.
Is it a man?
Ki Hyun-joo, who was next to , muttered subconsciously. As far as I can see, he is a man. He had long brown hair tied back tightly, and his face looked like that of a Westerner. But his eyes were closed and I didnt know what color his eyes were. He floated in the sky wearing a white cape and silver armour and looked like a character in a dieval movie.
As everyone was confused as to whether the man who had suddenly appeared could be considered an ally or an enemy, the man opened his eyes. With his eyes open, he slowly fell to the ground and landed between us. People stood in a circle around him.
[Who are you?] A soldier stepped up and asked him. The man looked around, not answering the soldiers question. In the anti, I was out of my mind.
[Warning]

Suddenly, I couldnt think straight at the ssage that filled my eyes. The ssages, which kept beeping alerts and giving a headache instead of the usual annoying system, soon died down. Its as if the system has been shut down.
[Ha]
Then the man laughed with admiration. Then he continued to speak, it wasnt English nor Korean, but strangely everyone could understand it. As if it had been translated.
[Its been a long ti since I saw this sight.]
It was a refreshing voice and expression. There was no sign of malice. He opened his mouth again when people were relieved.
[You asked who I was, right?]
He slowly drew his sword from the scabbard at his waist. However, none of us felt threatened at the sight of it. It was strange.
[I am your god of death who ca blowing the horn of destruction.]
No one could respond to his sudden remark. Soon after, the body of the soldier he spoke to was split into two as he swung the sword in his hand.
Argh!
The shocked people scread. Perhaps the soldiers death woke everyone who was in a daze, and the people started moving in unison.
As the ergency bell rang with a clang-clang, the bright red letters were clearly engraved above his head.
The corrupt holy knight Dietrich
What? Do you know him?
Judging from Ki Hyun Joos reaction, it seed that only I could see the letters above his head. He was the disaster It was different from what I thought.
His face where no hostility could be seen.
At first glance, he seed sacred. The sky was dark and red, but he was white and silver, like an angel that had fallen from the sky. Thats why no one thought that he would suddenly attack us.
He looked at as if he heard call his na. Ki Hyun-joo, who was beside , was surprised by his gaze and grabbed my arm. I broke out in a cold sweat from his gaze. I dont know what caught his attention, but I doubt he saw it in a good light. There was a shout when I was nervous that he would rush in.
[Fire!]
The soldiers started firing their guns at only one person in response to the shout. The thunderous sound echoed on the ground. Maybe the snipers on the watchtower were also shooting at him. Single gunshots could be heard.
However, even though Dietrich stood still without moving, no bullet penetrated his body.
Holy crap
He didnt dodge the bullets. The bullets flew around his body like in the movie The Matrix.
[What a low-level weapon.]
He opened his mouth as he flicked the floating bullets with his fingertip. It was absurd to say he was holding a sword and making rude remarks, but what was even more absurd was his calm appearance even after stopping the barrage of bullets.
Is this possible? I dont even know how he did that. I was surprised by Dietrichs relaxed appearance that looked like a human but exceeded human capabilities. When I saw everyones weird expressions, it seed I wasnt the only one who thought so.
[I dont want to handle this due to the low level but it cant be helped since thats all he wants.]
Dietrich sighed and shook his head. At that mont, the bullets that were flying in the air fell down. He smiled again as everyone looked at him stunned.
[Thanks to you all, this is my hotown that I havent seen in a long ti, so I was able to stay for a long ti. However, its only natural that I should attack the enemy general first in military tactics, so please die.]
He swung his sword again. As everyone was bewildered by his sword-wielding figure in the air, one of the soldiers fainted vomiting blood. He was the soldier who shouted Fire earlier.
[Ackk!]
[Captain Aidan!]
Everyone was frightened as they watched him fall down. Their distance was more than 10 tres, and he only cut the air with a sword of less than two tres, but soone died.
[This bastard!]
The angry soldiers started shooting again. But the bullets still couldnt get close to his body.
[Ah, its a really troubleso weapon.]
He waved his hand as if to drive the flies away. Every ti he did, the bullets fell to the ground. Dietrich sighed as the shooting still hadnt stopped.
[If I kill you guys easily everything will be over, and he will take back. So I will deal with you guys slowly.]
Ugh!
As he lightly waved his hand, the soldiers guns flew in all directions. As the soldiers, who had beco unard in an instant, panicked, Dietrich lightly walked towards us. The bright red na tag above his head was still clear.
System!
Calling out to the system that had beco jamd, I executed Kwon Jae-hyuks skill that I had stored. As I moved my fingertips hidden behind my back, I was relieved that I grabbed sothing in my fingers.
The skill is working properly.
The system seems to be half working and half not. As he got closer, Ki Hyun Joo trembled and held my arm tightly.
Soon Dietrich was standing in front of us.
[Really]
Ah uh
[Thats a nostalgic power.]
Uh
[And yet its a hateful power.]
Dietrichs gaze fell on Ki Hyun-joo. Suppressed by his montum, she groaned and trembled. I could feel her tremors in my arms and her fear.
Just as I was about to step forward to protect Ki Hyun-joo from Dietrichs gaze, soone ran over.
[You bastard! Where do you think you are!]
He was one of these gifted people who remained to guard the base camp. He shouted swear words and rushed at Dietrich as if to tackle him. When the gifted man, who flew to Dietrich, released his ability, a flash of lightning flashed and a thumping sound rang in my ears.
The mont Dietrich was hit by such an attack, I took Ki Hyun-joo and slowly backed away. She couldnt walk properly, maybe because her legs had lost their strength, but when I supported her, she moved little by little while shaking her legs.
[How is it? You cant move, right?]
The gifted man laughed at him. Of course everyone would think he was electrocuted and unable to move. Because I think so too.
But as if to destroy common sense, Dietrich was fine despite being hit with that powerful electric current. He then turned his head slowly. He wasnt electrocuted and couldnt move, he just didnt move.
Huh??
The gifted mans face hardened. I also couldnt hide my stiff face from Dietrichs appearance, who seed to be completely unscathed. Imdiately fear appeared on the gifted mans face.
[This Arghh!]
Eek!
And those were his last words. Dietrich, who lightly grabbed the gifted mans face, blew his head off. Ki Hyun Joo, who saw soone dying not far away, let out a choking sound. Dietrichs gaze turned to us again.
Why cant he take his eyes off Ki Hyun Joo?
Although she was a beauty, Dietrich wouldnt be paying attention to Ki Hyun-joo for that reason. At that mont I recalled sothing in front of his na.
T/N: I hope the POV is not too confusing, no proofing in this chapter.
I used brackets for dialogues spoken in English.
