#Episode 76
Chapter 1
Hong Hyun, who had come over to the back of the mountain, immediately used teleportation. The place he arrived at was also a mountain.
It was a move from mountain to mountain, but the regions were different.
This is Xalapa.
It’s quite a distance from Puebla.
The two traveled from Puebla to Xalapa in an instant.
Hong Hyun, who was out of breath, looked at Gabriela and put his index finger in front of his mouth.
Then he immediately hid in the bushes.
A ray of light passes above the two people.
It was Volkanov.
He can be heard crying out from heaven.
“Where are you! Where are you!”
There are several ways to obtain skills, but the most reliable way is to obtain something called a ‘skill stone’, which appears with an extremely rare probability when clearing a gate.
This skill stone has both martial arts and magic. The ‘Hon-Hon-Hwa-Jeol’ that Hong Hyun just used was also obtained as a skill stone.
The important thing is that the ‘Teleport Skill Stone’ is very rare.
This is so precious that you would have to pay hundreds of billions to buy it, and someone as rare as the Tsar of Russia would have to obtain it somehow.
In addition, Volkanov’s unique ability is electricity.
Using electricity, he can exponentially increase the speed of his body.
He was a difficult enemy to deal with, so Hong Hyun chose to hide for the time being.
To be honest, I’m tired.
I don’t have the energy to run away with just one bundle of luggage.
Still, I have no intention of throwing it away.
Volkanov’s voice fades away.
It was then that Gabriela asked in a very small voice.
“Why don’t you abandon me?”
I furrowed my brows for a moment at the question.
“Why did I abandon you?”
“My parents abandoned me and ran away, so why doesn’t this man I’ve just met abandon me?”
I ended up bursting out in laughter.
“This young child is already going through puberty. It’s up to me whether I abandon her or not.”
“Is that all?”
“Not everything, but why? Tell me more?”
“yes.”
I looked around for a moment. There was no sign of life. Hong Hyun continued.
“I don’t want to live a miserable life.”
“… … .”
“I’m not very good at English, so I’ll just filter it out. I don’t want to run away with someone I’ve got in my hands, even if it means running away with someone and dying together. I’ve never done that in my life, and I don’t want to do that.”
“Even if I die right now?”
“If you die like that, it will be a blessing to me.”
“… … You seem like a very unique person.”
“Hey, kid.”
“Yes, sir.”
“You only live once, so don’t live your life in vain.”
Hong Hyun, who was out of breath with his back against the wall, turned his head.
Gabriela is seen with her eyes wide open.
“I’m saying this just in case, but you need to know this one thing.”
“What?”
“If you and I were to die on this mountain, whoever it was, he would die within exactly one day. Probably in unimaginable pain.”
“… … Really?”
“If the person I serve comes forward, that’s what will happen, and if the younger sibling of the person I serve comes forward, that’s what will happen. So now, stop saying strange things and keep your voice low. If you keep doing this, you’ll get caught.”
“… … Your voice is louder than mine.”
“Yeah, no.”
“That’s right. You can even break a glass with your voice.”
Don’t be so funny, that’s what I was trying to say.
I would have definitely said that if it weren’t for the interrupting voice.
“Should I bring you a glass? I wonder too. Whether it will really break or not.”
Hong Hyun shot flames straight in the direction where the voice had come from, and at the same time grabbed Gabriela with the other hand and moved her behind him.
It was an extremely quick movement, and the power of the flames that Hong Hyun blew was also amazing.
It’s just that the person who was hit with it was someone greater than Hong Hyun.
‘She’ simply waved her right hand and extinguished Hong Hyun’s flames in midair.
Hong Hyun’s expression hardens.
‘She’ and Hong Hyun were acquainted.
“… … This is driving me crazy. You were an apostle?”
“Yes, you didn’t know?”
How could you know?
“It’s been a hot topic these days. I guess you haven’t read that novel?”
The novel we are talking about here is, of course, the novel ‘Titan’ written by Jin Shihou, or to be exact, written by his ghostwriter.

Hong Hyun is not the type of person who likes novels, but he read it anyway because he was curious.
But in the episodes of Titan that have come out so far.
“There was no such thing as ‘Kaoru Hashimoto’.”
Hong Hyun had no choice but to keep his mouth shut in response to Kaoru’s subsequent response.
“But there was a name called Zenichiro Hashimoto.”
“… … .”
“I am Hashimoto Zenichiro’s younger sister. Hashimoto Kaoru.”
Kaoru Hashimoto.
She is a unique Japanese awakener and a woman called Fushin in Japan.
It was simple.
Just because they are apostles doesn’t mean they have to use the names of those who were sent to Titan.
It was just used for convenience. Some of the apostles used the names of their families rather than the names of the Titan exiles.
Kaoru Hashimoto was just one of them.
“… … If you grab everything and hide it from the world, it will definitely be hard to find.”
“Oh my, is that what you’re thinking in this situation?”
It happened in an instant.
Kaoru’s hand reaches out. Her hand naturally grabs Hong Hyun’s neck.
“In this situation where I don’t know what will happen to my life, I’m really confused. Am I being stupid or have I given up?”
“Which way do you see it?”
“Well, I guess you’ve given up, right? Oh, wait a minute. You there, kid. Don’t do anything. Just stay still. I haven’t decided whether to kill you or not.”
It was clear that she was trying to do something. Gabriela was in an awkward position, as if she was about to reach out and grab Hong Hyun, but she stopped doing so at Kaoru’s words.
Kaoru sighs.
“I didn’t trust Volkanov to begin with, but I didn’t know he was this stupid.”
As the saying goes, even a tiger will come when called, and at that very moment, Volkanov fell from the sky.
He is delighted.
“Oh! Apostle. You caught those bastards.”
“Yes, I caught them. But what were you doing when you couldn’t even catch those guys who were getting tired?”
“……that is…….”
“Okay, just shut up and sit there. Right now, I have something to say to our Hong Hyun who is here.”
They say there is nothing to trust in the world, but among the unique Awakened people representing each country, one is actually not human, and the other is loyal to that non-human worm.
I haven’t been alive that long, but I’ve been through a lot.
Hong Hyun, who thought like that, moved his hand.
[The wine of the soul-changing flame.]
[Ifrit’s Wrath.]
Just as the giant flame was about to engulf Kaoru, Kaoru clenched his other fist tightly.
Kwaaak.
At that moment, the fireworks Hong Hyun had created suddenly stopped in midair.
slowly.
Very slowly those flames began to disintegrate.
It was a spectacle. The sight of the huge embers spreading out into the air and the embers mixing with each other and dying down, if it could have been captured on video, would have been quite a hot topic on the Internet.
It was simple.
Kaoru returned Hong Hyun’s attack to nothing.
She said.
“… … What a pity.”
Seriously, Kaoru thought so.
“I think it would be pretty fun if you were a unique awakener.”
“… … .”
“If it weren’t for us, you would have been a unique awakening personally, but if you are going to resent, don’t blame us.
Kaoru’s expression turned angry.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get. It makes sense.
“Our Heavenly Lord wanted to have a polite conversation, but that bastard killed him. Who would have thought that a bastard who returned from Titan would be such a piece of shit? I’m going crazy for even trying to go on a blind date with that bastard, right?”
“When that dog squad saw you, weren’t you a dog squad that was even worse than they imagined?”
The cephalic artery on Kaoru’s forehead bulged. Then, hahaha, he burst out laughing.
“That’s funny. I didn’t know you had a great sense of humor. Should I have gone on the blind date with you?”
“Thank you for the compliment, but enough of the nagging. Your breath stinks.”
“No way.”
“They say that people don’t know their own breath smells.”
“I told you it won’t come out.”
“But first, could you please let go of this hand?”
“That won’t do. You will be killed right here and now.”
“That’s too bad.”
“Yes, it’s a shame. I’m sure ‘He’ told me not to do anything and just stay still, but I just couldn’t stay still.”
Kaoru was sincere.
“I plan on completely destroying the Salvation Guild, including you. Even though I may look like this, I am confident in my guerrilla warfare.”
Hong Hyun didn’t bother to answer. He was just waiting for an opportunity.
“If I kill you, kill Han Jeong-ah, kill Cha Joo-yeon, and especially kill that annoying bastard Yoon Yeong-soo, Jin Song-i’s expression will be quite something to see, right? Then Jin Shi-hoo’s expression will be a mess, too. I mean, that’s all I have left now. I’m just going to make a mess of everything.”
For a moment, Kaoru’s emotions were disturbed.
Hong Hyun noticed it. And he immediately took action. He jumped up from his seat and wrapped his arms around Kaoru’s neck with both feet. He also used his arms because he felt it wasn’t enough. He immediately applied strength.
Bam-!
Kaoru’s hand twisted in a strange direction with an eerie sound. Hong Hyun was released. He reached out his hand as soon as he landed on the ground.
[The wine of the soul-changing flame.]
[Efreet’s incarnation.]
A huge flame bursts forth. It soon takes the form of a giant. A giant with horns on its head and holding a huge sword in each arm.
The giant immediately stretched out towards Kaoru, and Hong Hyun kicked his seat backwards. Naturally, it was in the direction of Gabriela. Hong Hyun saw Gabriela with her eyes wide open.
He looked very surprised. I didn’t care why he was surprised.
He reached out and grabbed Gabriella’s waist. Her legs touched the ground. She kicked the seat.
Hong Hyun should have thought about why Gabriella was surprised. Instead of kicking away when her legs touched the ground, she should have used teleportation by squeezing out all the mana she had.
Because I couldn’t do that.
Phew-!
Before he knew it, Kaoru had come up behind Hong Hyun and stabbed him in the back.
The pain was excruciating, but it was hard to breathe. My lungs seemed to have been punctured. I fell to the floor, still holding Gabriella.
“Ha, kid… … . I told you to just stay still, why aren’t you listening?”
Meanwhile, Hong Hyun covered Gabriela’s eyes with his other hand. And then he whispered softly.
“Do you remember what I said earlier?”
“……yes.”
“… … Don’t live a miserable life like me.”
