The man who escaped from the barrier took a deep breath.
“Phew, phew···.”
The man’s face was as pale as a corpse, his lips were blue, and cold sweat was running down his forehead.
The man muttered, roughly wiping the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.
“···Damn. I’m dizzy.”
The warning that the Great Man gave to Balam just before he escaped from the barrier was in fact nothing more than a bluff.
In the aftermath of the fight with Balam and the aftermath of the Pacheonmu he used at the end, the Great Man’s body was in shambles.
The man took the potion out of his bosom and drank it.
Gulp, gulp.
I felt a refreshing sensation and felt the wounds on my body being healed. However, the potion only healed the wounds and did not restore my extremely exhausted mental power.
That wasn’t the only problem.
“Ugh···.”
The man clenched his teeth and clutched his chest. The power of the Demon King that had dug into his body was tearing at his body, causing him pain.
‘Have you been poisoned?’
The man recalled the scene where he had been struck several times by Balaam’s attacks.
Balaam was a type of demon lord who was closer to a wizard than a warrior. He enjoyed creating legions of zombies from corpses, or corrupting humans with his cunning tongue and evil eye to make them his allies.
He also has a knack for poison and curses, and there have been many superhumans who have fallen in vain after being poisoned by him in their past lives.
“Hoooo···.”
Tsk tsk tsk.
The Great Man drew up his Heavenly Sword to resist the Demon King’s poison. The Heavenly Sword and the poison fought inside his body, biting each other, and the pain grew worse.
‘I need to go somewhere and rest for a while.’
Swish.
The man used
Krrrrrr···.
Kiyaayaak!
Whether under Balaam’s instructions or not, the surrounding zombies opened their eyes wide and searched for the Great Man.
The man staggered and entered an empty house. His physical condition was getting worse.
‘I need to do something about the poison quickly.’
The antidote potion I had was useless against Balaam’s poison. Balaam’s poison was not just any poison, it was also laced with a terrible curse.
Therefore, a high-ranking priest-level divine power or an artifact that could replace it was needed.
“···It’s in the truck.”
The man looked bitter as he searched through his pockets. He drank the potion on an empty stomach. He thought that this would be better than not drinking at all.
“Swoop- hoo···.”
The man took a deep breath and sat cross-legged. He was thinking of practicing the Pacheon Shingong to expel the poisonous energy.
However, even with the peerless power of the Heavenly Sword, he could only restrain Balam’s poison and could not expel it from his body.
‘Damn it. If even the Pacheon Shingong doesn’t work, then there’s a way…’
At that moment, the great man realized that he had mastered another peerless divine skill that was no less powerful than the Pacheonshinkong.
I’m talking about the Heavenly Demonic Art that deals with magic.
The Great Man stopped the Pacheon Shingong exercise and started the Cheonma Shingong exercise. Then, a reaction that was clearly different from before began to occur.
Kwakwakwakwakwakwa!
‘It’s done. The poison is moving!’
After a while, beads of dark red sweat formed on the man’s skin. This was a phenomenon that occurred as the poison was released.
How much time has passed like that?
“Phew···.”
The man opened his eyes and took a deep breath.
For a moment, a black aura flashed from the man’s eyes and then subsided.
“···I think I can finally take a breather.”
The man took off his clothes that were soaked in dark red sweat and went to the closet to find new clothes to wear.
The man sat down for a moment and checked his current situation one by one.
“I’ve almost run out of energy from expelling the poison, my body is in terrible condition, I’m so tired I could die, and…”
The man turned his right palm toward the ceiling and called out to the devil in his mind.
He had a grievance with the devil.
‘I called you when you were fighting the Demon King earlier, why aren’t you coming out?’
-The devil didn’t react.
“Hey. Can’t you hear me?”
I called out to it several times, but the demon didn’t move at all.
The man muttered in despair.
“I can use the Heavenly Demonic Art, but I can’t use the spirits?”
I don’t know the exact reason, but I think I’ll have to assume that Agwi won’t be able to use it for a while.
The man who got up from his seat looked at the full-length mirror in the house. A man with hollow bags under his eyes was standing there.
The man grumbled while looking in the mirror.
“What kind of trouble is this?”
The man found some leftover cereal in the kitchen. He poured the cereal into an empty bowl, poured the potion on top, and ate it.
Ugh, ugh.
Chewing on the potion-flavored cereal, Daein looked out the window at the skyscrapers.
Kookookookookung!

Ominous black clouds swirled around the entire building. Lights flashed from time to time from inside the building, obscured by the clouds.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but the building seemed larger than when I first saw it.
The man took a long sigh.
“Well, it’s lucky I got out of there alive.”
The price for fighting the Demon King without any preparation was high.
In my previous life, when the Allied Forces were at war with the Demon World, when a single Demon King descended, at least one nation’s worth of power was mobilized to deal with him.
···And yet, they suffered enormous damage, especially in the early stages of the war.
“Well, Balaam over there isn’t a perfect demon lord either···.”
However, it is not an opponent that you can try to defeat alone.
The man looked at the skyscrapers and made a resolution to himself.
‘It seems like other kids besides me need to become stronger.’
Then I won’t have to go through something like this again. There was no place on my body that wasn’t hurting right now.
“Ugh… I’m really going to die.”
The man groaned and left the empty house.
Now that I had recovered some of my stamina, I planned to return to the base camp where the combat truck was.
But returning to base camp didn’t seem easy.
‘shit.’
Krrrr···.
Krrrr···.
Kiyaaaa!
Zombies were roaming the city, rummaging through empty houses and walking through alleyways, looking for something.
It was obvious what he was looking for.
‘You’re trying to figure out where I am.’
The man thought that Balam was really scared, because he was so intent on keeping track of his movements.
‘Fortunately, Balaam won’t run out right away. The problem is···.’
The question was how to get through the crowds that filled the city.
‘You have to be careful on your way.’
Swish.
The man used
If it were normal, I would have used my lightness and run in one breath, but I couldn’t do that because my internal energy was almost depleted from burning the poison.
‘In times like these, stay calm.’
The man weaved his way through the zombies that filled the streets.
Sometimes I held my breath and waited for the enemies to pass, and sometimes I threw stones to the other side to open the way.
Combat was only done when it was absolutely unavoidable.
Kkwaduk!
The man who broke the neck of one of the zombies carefully placed the creature on the ground.
‘Phew···.’
I was out of breath quickly because I kept moving in a tense state. My internal energy was woefully inadequate, and my body kept producing a fever, perhaps as a result of the poison.
After returning to the past, the Great Man wondered if his physical condition had ever been this bad.
“after···”
The man felt dizzy and leaned against the wall for a moment. His vision was blurry and objects were shaking.
Ss …
As my concentration began to waver, even my
Among the zombies walking around the city, a few with good intuition looked in the direction where the man was.
Krrrr···.
Krrrr···.
Among them were not only human beings, but also zombies made of monster corpses. One of them was a bear as big as a two-story building.
Krrrrrrrr···.
The bear approached, teeth bared. Its huge size filled the alley. The man looked back, thinking of retreating.
···The back was also blocked by zombies.
Sling.
The man drew his sword and sighed softly.
“···The kid is going to nag me again. Why are you so late?”
At the same time, the Great Man’s
Kyaaaaah!
A giant bear that had found food rushed towards the man. The man raised his sword with difficulty.
He squinted his eyes and glared at his enemy.
‘Cut off the head with one blow and run.’
If I squeeze out all my strength, I could probably run for five minutes.
‘Let’s run and scream.’
If you’re lucky, the warriors of the Heavenly Demon Sect who are searching the area will hear the sound and come, probably.
“Whew···.”
Kyaaaaah!
In an instant, a giant bear appeared before his eyes. The man dodged its huge front paws, climbed up its body, and cut off its head.
Chook···!
It was shallow.
The attack stopped halfway through the bear’s neck, and the zombie opponent felt no pain.
The giant bear roared and swung its forelegs.
Phew-!
The man couldn’t avoid it even though he was staring at it. Instead, he barely stretched out his right arm and spoke.
“shield.”
Woohoo!
The
-Phew!
The man was thrown dozens of meters and fell after hitting the wall of the building. Zombies swarmed towards him.
“Coolook… Damn. Shield.”
The man opened his shield, spitting blood from his mouth.
Zombies’ attacks poured down on the shield. The man squeezed out all his remaining magical power to maintain the shield.
Crack, crack!
The shield cracked and was repaired repeatedly. The man raised his body with his shield open and a shout.
“Eww!”
The man used the shield as a shield to drive back the zombies.
Tsk tsk tsk!
Jjaeng-!
The moment the shield reached its limit and shattered, the Guardian’s bracelet also broke into two pieces.
However, the man had no time to worry about the broken Guardian’s Bracelet. He was so busy cutting and stabbing the zombies that he had no time to rest.
At one point, the zombies that had been attacking the man retreated and formed a wide encirclement.
Krrrrrrrr···.
The zombies in front moved to the left and right, and the giant bear that had blown away the man appeared again.
The man spoke, breathing heavily.
“Haa… It’s you again?”
Krrrrrrrr···.
The giant bear reared up on its hind legs, and its height instantly doubled.
Wow! Wow!
The man frowned as he looked up at the roaring creature. His vision was blurry, and he could see the bear’s head in two.
“Hey. Does your throat hurt?”
It was when the man grumbled and raised his sword.
“Team Leader!”
The man laughed in disbelief. It seemed like a revolving lantern or something.
No, but still. Why is that voice?
“Now I can even hear nonsense. I can hear the voices of fools…”
“You’re the team leader!”
“···?”
It wasn’t nonsense. The man turned his head in the direction of the voice.
And soon I noticed a huge golden mass approaching.
And at incredible speed.
-Kwaaaaang!
Kuweeeeek!
The giant bear that had been threatening the man was thrown back like a compact car hit by a dump truck. To the man, it looked like a scene from a cartoon.
“···Wang Gu-ho?”
When the man called his name in a bewildered voice, Wang Guho hugged him tightly.
“Team Leader! It was you, Team Leader! I’m glad you’re alive!”
“···Ugh! Hey, stop talking about this. I’m going to die because of you, you punk!”
As the man struggled in the arms of the giant Wang Guho, the zombies, who had come to their senses late, roared and rushed at him.
Kiyaaaa!
Kiyaaaa!
But the zombies were no longer a threat.
-Kwaaaaang!
With just one stomp of Wang Guho’s foot, zombies would fall down in droves, and with one swing of his fist, more than a dozen of them would be blown away, turning into blood clots.
Wang Gu-ho, who had instantly turned the surrounding area into scorched earth, spoke while carrying the great man on his back.
“Team Leader, let’s get out of here for now. I know a safe place.”
Perhaps because the tension was completely relaxed, Daein could barely hear what Wang Guho was saying.
“Wang Gu-ho. You, Inma···.”
The man muttered while hitting Wang Guho’s hard back of the head.
“···It’s been a while.”
“Yes! Me too!”
Bam.
The palm of the great man weakly touched the back of Wang Guho’s head, then slid down.
“······.”
The man lost consciousness with peace of mind.
