#Episode 78
I just blew mana into it.
Then the ring began to sparkle, and soon substances began to slowly gather in front of my left hand.
It soon became a mask. A white mask with no pattern.
This thought just occurred to me.
If you put this on your face, it will look exactly like a blister.
“But Gabriela dos Santos? What does she look like?”
“I’ll send you a photo.”
“Thank you. Send it as soon as possible. I’ll be there soon.”
I left my seat right away, leaving my sister behind who nodded.

Edwards Air Force Base in the United States is now in chaos.
It goes without saying that when an unidentified flying object appears, an emergency is declared.
Friend or foe.
Especially in a world like today where it is common to hide a knife behind a smiling face and swing it when the opportunity arises, it is right to deal with problematic elements quickly.
There have been unidentified flying objects before, but they disappeared quickly.
Now it’s up again.
Sweat beaded on Lt. Col. Matthew Osborne’s forehead. He said.
“Contact the State Department.”
All kinds of sounds can be heard from everywhere.
Not the Air Force. Not the Allies. Not the Navy. Not the Marines.
My eyebrows are furrowed. So.
“Is the CIA connected?”
The answer comes.
“Rather, the CIA is asking, ‘Is it the Air Force’?”
“… … This is driving me crazy.”
Since the world became chaotic, all kinds of superhumans have appeared.
They float in the sky and stir up the sea.
This was common in the past, but not anymore. Radars have been developed to track them, and international agreements have even banned such acts.
However, there are still some crazy guys who occasionally appear and stir up trouble in the airspace, but we catch them all.
The reason I’m saying this is because, first of all, the size was too small.
He is clearly an awakened being.
That too is top-notch.
Substitute.
“Who is it?”
I was able to determine its current location with radar, but its speed is incredible.
Should we say that supersonic speed is basically a level that has been surpassed?
Should I dispatch fighter jets?
This thought was the first thing that came to my mind.
That was when.
A man enters the situation room. As soon as he sees him, Lieutenant Colonel Osborne salutes him.
That was understandable.
Because he was the deputy commander of Edwards Air Force Base, Colonel Terence Colwin.
He said with a smile.
“It’s training.”
“……yes?”
Colonel Colwin stroked the ring on his left index finger as if it were his habit.
The ring was engraved with three overlapping pyramids, which proved his Masonic affiliation.
“It’s just training. So just skip it.”

When I arrived in Mexico, I closed my eyes and stayed still for a moment over the Mexican skies.
Your senses are expanded. The world’s mana contains more information than you think.
I accepted that information one by one, filtered it out and compiled what needed to be compiled.
like that.
The situation appears in my head in an instant.
Hong Hyun, Gabriela, and Kaoru Hashimoto, one of Japan’s original Awakened Apostles.
I burst out laughing at this part.
‘Zenichiro Hashimoto, that bastard has a younger sister. I didn’t know that.’
We weren’t that close, so I didn’t even know he existed.
Then at some point I was surprised.
‘You have buff abilities.’
Gabriella was a buffer. Not just any buffer.
Hong Hyun, who was on the verge of death, briefly used strength that was almost equal to that of his older sister.
Even if Hong Hyun of the Hwigwangbanjo squeezed out all his strength, this was still very surprising to me.
‘There’s everything.’
That was all my impressions.
A buff is just a buff. I don’t really care. My sister might care though.
Afterwards, we see the two people escaping via teleportation, and are chased by the Russian Awakener Volkanov Vasilievich Ivanov, who was a servant of the Apostle.

That flow of mana.
I tried to capture it and focus on the expanded sensation again.
and.
I opened my eyes slowly.
Found it.
Before that, there is something we need to do first.
I was immediately kicked out of my seat. The space was torn apart and my body was transported to a certain place.
There was Kaoru Hashimoto, sitting there, panting.
She raises her head. Our eyes meet. With a gasp, she gasps and steps back. That’s enough. I honestly don’t care what kind of apostle she is.
He just waved his hand.
Crunch-!
Her throat was cut. She raised her hand and grabbed her hair, tearing the space again.
Thud, my feet hit the ground. I raised my head.
In front of me, Hong Hyun was lying on the floor, bleeding. I also saw Gabriela crying while holding Hong Hyun in her arms. I don’t speak English well, but I think she was saying something like, “Please don’t die.”
“They were filming a romance here. Someone came running in from eating.”
I crouched down in front of Hong Hyun. Hong Hyun and Gabriela, who noticed my presence belatedly, were very surprised. Hong Hyun knew my voice. We had met before. But Gabriela did not.
So, I couldn’t stop Gabriela from throwing a pile of dirt on the ground at me.
A pile of dirt poured down on the face that was wearing a mask. I didn’t bother to dodge it. Then, it was just as Gabriela was trying to run away with Hong Hyun.
“ha ha ha…….”
Hong Hyun laughed.
Gabriella stops at that laugh.
“… … You really are a monster. I never thought it would be true that you could travel from Korea to Texas in less than 5 minutes. And you killed someone in the meantime?”
Hong Hyun definitely recognized the owner of the hair in my hand.
I guess he didn’t recognize that little girl named Gabriela because she was in a blind spot.
Well, if you think about it, it would be right to throw dirt at it. Some random stranger showed up with what appeared to be a woman’s head, and even I would run away.
He shrugged his shoulders and put his mask back on.
I asked Gabriela, who was standing next to Hong Hyun.
“They throw dirt on you when you first meet. I guess that’s the way they greet you in Mexico?”
“… … How could that be?”
I don’t really have anything to say. How much must one have wanted to live?
I’m also generous with this kind of thing.
Then, mana gathers behind Gabriela.
There is no way I wouldn’t know about that phenomenon.
It’s a teleport.
He kicked the spot. A man appeared from where the mana had gathered. He was a very large man with a very large mustache. I think he was Volkanov or Polymorph or something.
He reached out. I reached out too.
I grabbed the bastard’s wrist. He lifted his head, looked at my face, and froze.
“Ji… … Jin Shihou… … ?”
“I didn’t know I would be this famous. Wasn’t I just a third-rate writer?”
“… … .”
“Or did you hear it from him? Hey, what number was he?”
Volkanov swallowed hard after seeing Kaoru’s balls in my hand and answered in a trembling voice.
“… … This is the 170th.”
“I see. So what’s the will?”
Volkanov swallowed hard and opened his mouth.
“… … I can help the Salvation Guild.”
“you?”
“Yes. The 170th Apostle has died, and now Russia is mine. I am the Great Emperor of Russia. I will establish close relations with Korea and actively support the Salvation Guild. So, let’s pretend it never happened.”
I ended up laughing.
“I don’t like that. I’m going to kill you.”
“… … .”
“You ate with the apostle. If you ate without knowing, there is room for leniency, but why should I spare the life of someone who ate knowingly?”
He tossed Kaoru’s head, which was in his hand, to the side and continued speaking.
“Oh, you don’t know. I’m going to wipe out all the kids who are connected to the apostles. I’m going to kill every single person on Earth. You’re no exception. So at least leave a proper will. Or else.”
or not.
“Even if it’s just a desperate attempt to live.”
“… … You… dog… you little bastard-!”
Volkanov, who had a perfect grasp of the situation, extended his hand towards me with all his might. Lightning shot out from his hand.
Really, it could only be described as lightning.
It was a tremendous current, and I felt a tremendous force.
A spear, like an astragalus dropped from the sky by Zeus, was aimed at my head. I opened my mouth and then closed it.
Kkwaddeuk-!
“……uh?”
A strange sound rang out. Not a cracking sound effect, but a sound coming from Volkanov’s mouth.
He blinked blankly.
You don’t understand what’s happening now.
It was understandable. The lightning he shot with all his might was stuck in my teeth.
I just clenched my teeth.
Kwajik-!
Electricity shoots out in all directions with a loud noise.
“Is this all?”
“… … What… … This is ridiculous… … .”
“I see. Wait a minute.”
I put the plain white mask that had been on the back of my head back on.
And then he sent the thought as it was.
‘Try to absorb it.’
At the same time, the electric current that had been spreading out in all directions is all sucked into the mask.
It was interesting.
Phage crackling.
When I see the currents jumping out of my body, it’s so amazing that I can’t help but laugh.
This seems like a really good artifact.
“… … What… … What is this… … .”
Volkanov keeps getting kicked back as strange phenomena occur one after another.
And that was enough.
If I waste any more time, the person I need to bring back will probably turn into a corpse.
I just snapped my fingers.
Phagecic-!
The same lightning bolt that Volkanov had fired at me, no, exactly twice as big, flew towards Volkanov.
He tried to do something, but it was meaningless.
Because it was not only twice the size, but also twice the speed.
like that.
Kwaaaaaaaang-!!
Volkanov’s body exploded.
Thus died the unique Russian awakener.
Today, the unique awakener of Chilgang has become Ogang.
He put his mask back on and turned around.
I looked at Hong Hyun’s body. As expected, it was quite a mess. Then I met Hong Hyun’s eyes. Hong Hyun’s expression spoke volumes.
Oh, really.
“You’re almost dead, so why are you making such a curious expression?”
“… … What did you do just now?”
“This? It’s nothing. My sister gave me an artifact as a gift, and I experimented with it. But now I want to talk about the state of your body. Is that okay?”
In fact, I didn’t mean to ask for consent. I just continued talking.
“I dragged it all the way to the innate ability… … and even that is barely left. My eyes are blurry, and my limbs are numb. But I guess I’ll be able to breathe better now that I have one more hole.”
“Are you saying that?”
“Then let’s talk. Oh, and you’re much younger than me, so let’s talk.”
Although the order was a bit messed up, Nana Hong Hyun didn’t care. Hong Hyun said.
“… …Do whatever you want. I think this is where I’ll end up anyway.”
