#Episode 19
“… … .”
“Second question, Kim Min-jae, the 189th apostle who was working as a certified real estate agent in Gimcheon Innovation City, died. Is this related to the disappearance of the 200th apostle?”
At this point, there’s no way I wouldn’t know.
No, it’s strange not knowing.
“John Marcel, you were an apostle.”
“Third, tell me everything about the returnee, Jin Shihou.”
“It’s so realistic. You’re really like a ghost. Have you been acting all this time?”
It was a strange situation where they were just talking to each other. John Marcel frowned.
“That doesn’t answer my question… … .”
“Just one verse, just one verse. Don’t go any further.”
“… … .”
“What on earth are you guys doing on Earth?”
“… … You don’t need to know that… … .”
“Isn’t that a bit of a stretch?”
“what?”
“Doppelganger. Hiding from the world while taking the place of someone who already existed. That’s a really stupid thing to do. Don’t you think?”
John Marcel stroked his chin. It seemed like he couldn’t say anything. His expression, which had been like that, slowly began to change.
Knock knock knock.
His body began to elongate with a bone-crunching sound.
His height, which was previously only 170cm, grew to a whopping 2m, and he began to gain muscle.
Two horns also began to grow on his forehead, and six wings sprouted from his back.
I can say for sure that this is the first time I’ve seen such a creature in my life. Also, Jinsong couldn’t even react while this creature came this close.
Yes, that’s right.
Jinsong couldn’t react.
“How arrogant of a woman who only hears the sound of a king in the human world.”
The tone of speech has changed.
John Marcel had been speaking softly and respectfully until now, but not anymore.
John Marcel, who had come close to her nose, swung his fist. It hit Jin Song-yi’s side face without any interference.
Kwaaaaang-!!
The pine cone flew away with a loud noise.
Bang, Jin Song-i, who was stuck in the wall, vomited blood. I didn’t see it. I didn’t feel it.
As she was sliding down the wall, Jinsong’s two feet touched the ground. She barely managed to keep her balance. At the same time, she floated five spheres around her body.
John Marcel looked at her with an expressionless face.
“If you already know about the existence of the Apostles, it means that you cannot live in this world. I will give you a chance to die without pain. So answer my questions.”
Jinsong didn’t answer verbally. She just sent her thoughts to the light sphere. Shoot it.
Five streaks of light stretched out towards the monster. The monster waved its hand towards the flashes.
Kwaaaaang-!!
A flash of light bursts through the air with a loud noise. Jinsongi doesn’t stay still. She has already left her seat.
Jinsong-i, who had quickly approached the monster’s nose, poured all of her mana into her palm.
Her palms turn red.
It can be seen as a skill or a martial art. It is a technique that no one in this world knows about, and Jin Song-i created it herself.
This is a martial art unique to Jin Song.

[Chapter 1: Purple Yang Magic Flame Palm.]
He just waved his palm.
Kwaaaaang-!!
A clear palm print of Jin Song is engraved on John Marcel’s abdomen.
“hmm.”
He let out a short groan and was pushed backwards.
“It’s pretty good.”
His subsequent actions were so natural, as if gears were turning.
He reached out. Jinsong-i’s hair was grabbed. Jinsong-i stretched out her foot.
[Yeomyangshinmagyeol (炎陽神魔訣)]
[Chapter 2 Purple Yang Demon Flame Legs]
The entire foot was stained red. This time, John Marcel was pushed back.
John Marcel looked up.
He looked at Jinsong’s hair in his hand with a strange look in his eyes.
“In just 10 years, even a being with ‘fragments’ can grow to this extent? Interesting… … .”
Jiiing-!
Five flashes of light struck John Marcel directly. A huge amount of dust and a loud noise erupted. Jin Songi did not stop.
I was thinking of attacking them one after another.
but.
Boom-!
With a loud noise, Jinsong flies towards the wall again.
Jin Song-i, who was pinned to the wall, vomited out blood.
In Jinsong’s ears, a cracking sound can be heard, tearing through the air.
Then, with a bang, John Marcel flew in and grabbed Jin Song-i by the neck.

Kwaaaaang-!!
John Marcel, no, the monster spoke as he looked at Jin Song-i, who was pinned against the wall once again.
“You’re so rude.”
“Coolook.”
“Do you care about the humans out there? If you just accept my offer, they’ll be fine.”
“… … Let go of this.”
“Do not waste my time. My name is the 99th Apostle Kar… … .”
“hey.”
John Marcel, who was about to introduce himself as Kar Something, quickly turned his head away.
I was dumbfounded for a moment. What is this guy?
When did you come?
The man in the black coat looked so out of place against the backdrop. A sense of discomfort spread through my body.
It clearly looks human, but why does it feel like it has a human vibe, or something more?
And the appearance was so familiar.
Marcel felt goosebumps for a moment at the smile on his lips.
His mouth was smiling, but his eyes weren’t.
also.
Because his fist was extended.
Kwaaaaang-!!
With a loud noise, Marcel flew away into the distance.
My side hurts. It feels like my bones are being shattered. What on earth is this destructive power?
It was at that moment that I was trying to get up in a hurry.
A shadow appears before my eyes.
It was definitely a ‘foot’.
like that.
Kwaaaaang-!!
Marcel’s face crashes into the ground again, with such force that a huge crater forms around it.
The man stomped on Marcel’s face with his foot and took a cigarette out of his bosom and lit it.
Chijik.
The cigarette lights up.
Marcel wanted to ask, who are you?
It’s just too late.
The man, who was taking a puff of a cigarette, said, blowing out smoke.
“Who are you?”
* * *
There are a few things I heard from Jeongbin.
They say that in order to work as an Awakened One, you must graduate from the ‘Awakened One Academy’.
It is said that you must graduate from here to officially obtain a job as an Awakened and gain the right to enter and exit the Gate.
But this is only the ‘rule of Earth’. When the gate was first created, there was no rule that said you had to graduate from the Awakening Academy to pass through the gate.
Anyone can enter the gate.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s before or after the gate is cleared.
However, there were rules that were not rules.
It’s a living thing.
Only living things were allowed to go back and forth through the gate.
In the early days, there were many cases of people broadcasting on the Internet or people who didn’t know anything going in without a plan and dying screaming.
So, as soon as a gate is created, police forces are dispatched and surround the gate.
The gate will explode exactly 336 hours after it is created, which is called a Gate Break. In the case of an F-class gate, the wave will spread enough to destroy at least one building, and in the case of an S-class gate, it will devastate an area over a 20km radius.
It goes without saying that if the gate changes and the level goes up, the waves will also match that level.
If it’s an SS-class gate, you need to capture it within a radius of at least 100km.
There was a time in the past when an SS-class gate exploded.
It exploded in Dalian, China, and Dalian was wiped off the map.
“The Texas Gate that occurred on Monday has changed today. The grade is SS-grade, the same as the Baekdu Mountain Gate that occurred on Baekdu Mountain a long time ago. And now the gate’s measurement grade is constantly rising… … . Right now, our Republic of Korea’s unique Awakened, Jin Song-i, has entered this gate. Jin Song-i, who is also the guild master of the Salvation Guild, is alone in helping the Helios Guild in the United States… … . The situation is getting more serious… … . We need to quickly organize a rescue team… … . A firm decision from the World Hunter Association is needed… … .”
A person who appears to be a South Korean reporter is seen talking to the camera.
She seemed to be trying to remain as calm as possible, but she couldn’t hide her shaking hands. In fact, it was understandable.
People entering the gate must follow the procedure. The same goes for the variable gate.
In both cases, approval from the Awakened Association is required, and in the case of the variable gate, approval from the ‘World Awakened Association’ is absolutely necessary.
-… … Unfortunately, it seems that due to the constant rise in the level of the gate, there is not a single person volunteering to rescue anyone except our Salvation Guild.
Yoon Young-soo’s words spoke of cold reality.
Yeah, I can’t help it if they call me a hero or something.
That’s just how the world is.
“I’m going in. I’ll be out soon, so help me sort things out.”
With those words, I put the watch back in my pocket.
He kicked the seat right away.
No one noticed my presence. I entered the gate without any hindrance. As soon as I entered, I saw a lot of people fidgeting in front of the gate.
I forgot.
This is also a rule that is not a rule.
Once you enter the gate, you cannot exit until the gate is cleared.
In simple terms, it means that you can come in as you please, but you cannot leave as you please.
I kicked my seat before their eyes could even reach me.
And it is visible.
My older sister was being held by some strange-looking monster’s neck.
It seemed like we were having a conversation, but it was annoying.
An indescribable anger rises.
That was it.
I’m not an amateur, and I graduated from being controlled by anger a long time ago.
My head gets cold in an instant.
At the same time, the ‘ten’ circles surrounding the heart opened their eyes and began to resonate with each other.
This is the warm-up stage before waking up the circle.
Slowly, I rotated the ‘five’ of the awakened circles.
It was a body that had already transcended human capabilities. My body, which had been acting like a normal human by suppressing its strength as much as possible, has once again transcended human capabilities.
The vision becomes clearer.
The dust floating in the air moves slowly. The current of mana floating in the air is also clearly visible. In that beautiful world where everything is entangled, I.
I took a step.
In an instant, I was next to the monster.
“hey.”
The startled monster turns its head. That was it.
He swung his fist. His simple fist, without any form or form, sank into the creature’s side. The creature’s eyes grew wide as if they were going to pop out, and the sound of a bone shattering in the creature’s side echoed through the cave.
Kwaaaaaaaang-!!
The bastard flew away. After that, he hit the ground with his hand as if trying to regain his balance. He kicked the spot.
The face of the guy who was trying to get up after bouncing on the ground three or four times.
Kwaaaaang-!!
Trampled.
By the way, I bought exactly two things with the card my sister gave me.
One is a cigarette, the other is a lighter.
He took a cigarette out of his breast pocket and lit it with a lighter.
Smoke engulfs my lungs.
Phew.
He asked, blowing smoke.
“Who are you?”
