#Episode 83
There was a man in the Himalayas, where a snowstorm was raging.
Looking down from the snow-covered world to the snow-free world, the man was lost in thought.
The Apostles’ purpose is to find the ‘key’ and the ‘suitable person’ before the Earth’s system moves to Phase 2.
Phase 2 will begin shortly.
But, not only was the key not found, but even the right person was not found.
I’ve narrowed down the list to a few of the most likely candidates, but in the end, it’s as good as not finding any.
Complete mission failure.
Honestly, there wasn’t any interference.
Underworld? Rather, there was no reason to touch them since there were candidates among them. Also, they did not bother to touch the apostles.
The moment you touch the Apostle, it will lead to an all-out war, and if that happens, the Underworld will inevitably collapse.
Jin Shi-hoo, who only recently appeared? He is indeed an amazing man.
This man is the first person who has made the apostles feel so intimidated.
He killed over 80 Apostles in just 20 days after returning to Earth from Titan.
It’s huge. I didn’t even bother to look for each one as a priority.
Play around, resolve friction with the guild that’s trying to conquer the Earth or something, and even write.
Although a ghostwriter writes the entire piece, it is Jin Shi-hoo who adds his comments to it.
If he could kill 80 apostles after taking care of all those little things, then if he wanted to, he could kill over a hundred apostles in one day.
It’s not that he lacks information or power.
In this situation, there is only one method the apostles must choose.
You have to hide from the world.
Because the mission of the apostles is not over yet.
As mentioned earlier, finding the key and the suitable person is the task of Phase 1.
When Phase 2 arrives, the Apostles’ mission changes.
It means that something completely different from what is happening now, hidden in the human world.
It was simple.
If Phase 2 happens, the entire planet will change.
The gate has so far thoroughly separated space from space.
But Phase 2 has no such separation.
Once Phase 2 begins, things like A-class gates and S-class gates will become meaningless.
Because every place on Earth has become a battlefield.
Also, ‘guides’ come down to Earth.
The numerous guides who will be in charge of the trials of Phase 2 are often called demons or angels, but they are simply ‘goblins’.
That is, guides called goblins come down to Earth, which has become a battlefield, and explain to the Awakened what will happen next.
In Phase 2, the Apostles’ mission is to take on those goblins.
It’s about kicking those guides and kicking them again to steal the ‘key’ that the system holds.
That is the mission of the apostles.
But now everything has gone awry.
The man was genuinely annoyed.
What has happened so far, and what will happen in the future.
Slowly he turned his head.
“I have a feeling, here.”
There were two men. To be exact, one man was walking towards the masked man, grabbing him by the collar.
The man knew the name of the man who had grabbed him by the collar and the name of the man who was holding him by the collar.
The man grabbing her by the collar is Jin Shihou, and the man grabbed by the collar is the 11th Apostle, Shadow.
The man did not understand the current situation.
Why is that guy here? Why was Shadow captured by that guy?
The worries were short.
Because the answer came out quickly.
“Are you on your way back from meeting the Yaksha?”
Jin Shihou nodded.
“The yaksha must be dead.”
“Are you upset?”
“well.”
“Don’t be sad. I’ll meet you soon. I’m sure he’ll be there to meet you.”
Jin Shihou’s two eyes scan the man.
In this blizzard, the man’s clothing was extremely thin.
Short-sleeved shirt and shorts.
It was an outfit that seemed strangely out of place in the environment. Jin Shihou was convinced after encountering the aura he felt from him.
“You came to the right place. Then I don’t need this guy anymore.”
I didn’t hesitate for a single moment.
Jin Shihou hit Shadow’s head with his other fist.
Plop-!
Shadow’s head explodes. Blood, brain matter, and bone fragments cover the snowdrift. Jin Shihou throws Shadow’s body aside and walks away.
After walking up to the man, I looked him over and asked.
“Aren’t you cold?”
“… … Is that a question?”
“It’s like a greeting. I think you’re Asura, but why did you choose that face?”

The man, no, Asura, swept his own face away.
“I personally like that face, but I guess it didn’t look good on Titan.”
“Oh, it was really bad. Gonzales Villa. Of all the monsters, he was the most vile and died the most ugly death. I’ll just explain it to you. He was a serial rapist. He teased the lower parts of all kinds of people, whether they were commoners, nobles, or slaves, and eventually he roasted and ate those lower parts… … Oh, stop it. What’s the point of telling him?”
“… … It’s quite a sight.”
“That’s right. It was a sight to behold.”
“Jin Shihou, even in a world where such ugly people exist, you would have been no different from a king in that world. Why on earth did you come back?”
Rather, Jin Shihou was puzzled. First of all, the conversation is communicative. But the question is a bit strange. This is a question that already has an answer.
“Because this is where I belong.”
“Do you really think so?”
“Rather, I would like to ask. I was not born and raised on Titan. I was born and raised here on Earth. My family is here, my past is here, and my future is here, so why would I live somewhere else? Well, I thought you were a normal person, but this is a really strange question.”
“… … .”
“Do you know where that guy is?”
“embrace.”
“Let’s take it easy. I made a bet with him. That’s why I’m asking, where is he?”
“A bet? What bet are you talking about?”
Jin Shihou snickered. It’s a bit embarrassing to say that.
“I told him to come to where I am before. If he comes, I’ll finish him off, but if he doesn’t come, I’ll go find him and beat him up until he’s about to die. But he didn’t come. So I’m going to go find him and beat him up.”
Asura burst into laughter, seemingly speechless.
“He’s an interesting guy. He’s so free-spirited for someone with such incredible power. Good. Since things have come to this point, it seems like you and him are destined to meet in some way, so let me tell you.”
“Tell me. I will open my ears and listen.”
“But it’s a bit much to just tell you. How could I easily tell you, you killed the Yaksha, the Shadow, and my own people?”
“Then what should we do?”
“If you beat me, I’ll let you know.”
“That’s easy.”
I didn’t hesitate.
Jin Shihou swung his fist.
Paaaaak-!!
Asura, who was hit in the face, flies away, spraying blood.
* * *
There are fools in the world who cannot be persuaded with words and must be persuaded through violence.
Qin Shihou thought of Asura in that way, and Asura thought of Qin Shihou in that way.
It’s just impossible to communicate.
Even if I tell him in detail, that idiot who just closes his ears and doesn’t listen needs to be beaten until he’s on the verge of death.
Both men thought so at the same time.
Asura, who had regained his balance by rolling down the mountain, raised his head. A fist was extended before his eyes.
I turned my head to the side. A fist grazed me. I raised my elbow and struck.
Boom, Jin Shihou’s arm shoots up into the sky. The sound is unusual. It’s definitely cracked or broken.
This is definitely a must.
It didn’t mean that there was a blow to Jin Shihou’s arm.
Asura furrowed his brow and immediately jumped up. His body stretched backwards. He briefly touched his elbow, feeling it was cold.
The broken arm is quickly regenerated.
“… … What an unbelievable defensive power.”
“Is that a compliment? Thanks.”
Jin Shihou kicked his seat again. This time, Asura kicked his seat backwards. In that place where the snowstorm was blowing, Jin Shihou let out a sigh and was about to ask, “What are you doing now?”
Boom!
An eerie sound rings out.
Asura’s body began to change.
His appearance was almost identical to that of the fourth apostle, Yaksha.
It had eight black wings on its back, and its entire body was black.
The single spiral horn on its head was extremely long.
I am reminded of a movie I saw a while ago called The Emperor: Owner of the Mask.
It was very similar to the Balrog that appeared there.
A body of enormous muscles that looked like it would crack at any moment, and eyes that were blazing hot.
This is not a metaphor.
Asura’s eyes were truly burning.
Doesn’t it hurt?
It was before Jin Shi-hoo could even ask that question.
Bam.
It was a short sound.
Asura’s body completely disappeared from that spot.
Jin Shihou turned his head. At that face of Jin Shihou.
Kwaaaaang-!!
Asura’s fist strikes.
Surprisingly, Jin Shihou flew away.
Jin Shi-hoo, who rolled around four or five times while stuck on the ground, burst out laughing. Instead, Asura frowned at that sight.
“… … Did you enjoy being right?”
“No, that’s not it. It’s just because it’s new, because it’s new. It’s my first time.”
Is this your first time?
“What are you talking about?”
“I met a guy here on Earth who can use teleportation.”
“… … .”
“Gandharva, Celestial Being, Yaksha, these three were really ambiguous.”
Jin Shihou stood up from his seat. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and continued speaking.
“But you’re not. You can write a short story. I’m really surprised.”
Even the apostles have their own main weapons.
Gandharva specialized in holding and releasing energy. If I had to say, he was a long-range dealer. His celestial body was a winged octopus. He showed great ability in the sea. He was a kind of sea magician. And Yaksha was a sword.
The same goes for the Asura in front of you.
When looking at Asura’s body now, Asura’s main weapons are martial arts. Fists and feet.
Jin Shi-hoo felt excited for the first time in a while.
Every moment I looked at the apostles, I was disappointed and disappointed again. In fact, I even got angry.
Beyond not being able to use the power he possessed properly, I should say that I was displeased with the way he built up his pride to that level.
But it’s not Asura.
You can be confident to that extent.
It is worthy of its name as the first.
There were exactly 20 strong people on Titan who could perform teleportation.
All 20 of them are monsters worthy of being recorded in history.
“That’s interesting. If martial arts are your specialty, I’ll fight you with martial arts too.”
Asura’s brow furrows.
How can a mere squirrel be so confident?
It couldn’t be happening. Asura couldn’t tolerate it.
Bam.
Once again Asura’s body disappears.
