Episode 201: The Highest Level -1-
I closed my eyes and enjoyed the afterglow.
It’s level 7.
Level 5 is when you are treated as a noble in this world and recognized as a completely privileged class of society.
Because they are almost like members of the National Assembly, they are laden with privileges.
What about level 7 then?
It’s like treating a walking natural disaster.
Whether you are a member of the National Assembly, a mayor of a local government, or a CEO of a large corporation, you have to crawl unless you are a high-level superhuman.
In modern weaponry, level 7 is equivalent to an aircraft carrier.
Even the warrior class, which is the weakest in area-of-effect attacks, can easily take down a building or two.
That’s why it’s called the Ultimate Realm, the end of humanity and the limit of superman.
“at las…….”
It’s also nice to visit the superhuman tower and get certified like a saint.
I will sweep away all the topics of conversation, including the number one real-time search term.
But I’m busy.
There’s no time to brag or show off.
‘Episode 2 is just around the corner.’
Even if it weren’t for Gaia’s warning, I feel that way strongly.
Whenever I think of The Saint, Episode 2, I always get a strong sense of crisis that makes the back of my neck stiff.
Then we have to move.
Right now.
[Director Choi. I have work to do.]
[Your Majesty! Did you succeed?]
[okay.]
[Hahaha! As expected, it’s Mr. Geomseong! Our group president! Shouldn’t we be throwing a celebration party?]
[I’m busy. Director Choi will take care of distributing the bonuses. Both company security and company construction.]
[Hehehe. Our Chairman Geumseong really knows the hearts of his employees so well. The sound of his employees praising him will pierce through the clouds in the sky.]
This world is strange.
If you give a generous bonus, you will develop a sense of loyalty that you didn’t have before.
That all becomes my assets.
[Anyway, Director Choi decides what to spend and distributes it. But don’t spend it too sparingly. When you spend money, you have to spend it generously.]
[Yes. I am also now learning about Mr. Geumseong’s management philosophy. It is the first time I have seen employees volunteering to work overtime and even work extra hours. And the efficiency is incredible! I can confidently say that it is the best in the history of the Republic of Korea, no, in the history of capitalism.]
[Even if you volunteer, you will be paid overtime and special work allowance.]
[Of course! I am not wasting a single one of the precious teachings of the Master of the Sword!]
I’ve just delivered some new work here.
[That’s it. If you look at Mt. Hwaak in Gapyeong-gun, there is a place called Jigosuryeonwon.]
[Jigo Training Center… … Yes. I found it.]
[It’s a cult. It’s the worst of the cults. I heard they sacrifice human bodies every day.]
[Human sacrifice?]
[Yes. From now on, I will raid that place. I can’t just sit back and watch since they say dozens of people are dying every day. When I was level 6, I left them alone because there was no guarantee that I would be able to subdue them, but now that I’m level 7, I plan to subdue them from there.]
[Dozens a day? Sir, you’re mistaken. No matter how incompetent the South Korean government is and how incompetent the police are, dozens a day is difficult.]
[There must be a back.]
[ah…….]
Its true identity is the old Father’s Sect.
The Jigo Training Center and the old father’s sect had a symbiotic relationship.
One side looks after the other side and becomes the source of sacrifice.
[So, call the reporters and contact the Thor Cult and Gaia Cult. Tell them I’m going to personally subdue them. Please take care of the aftermath.]
[It would be better not to call the police. The police will probably be involved.]
[yes.]
[I will move right now.]
It’s still dawn.
No, it’s too late at night to even call it dawn.
2:00 AM.
But Choi Seon-su moved busily as I expected.
Me too.
He flew away on a red cougar.
Jigo Training Center located on Mt. Hwaak in Gapyeong-gun.
It’s a training center in name only, but it’s actually the headquarters of some pseudo-religious group.
The sect calls their god [Ji-Hwa].
Yes, that’s right.
That very supremacy.
That’s what I bet with the Sun Tower.
It is the sibling trait of Ji-geuk-hwa and the highest level of fire attribute, and it is a trait with no series restrictions.
Do you remember the achievement for obtaining the Master of the Sword?
Similar conditions apply to Jigohwa.
That you must succeed at a specific achievement or quest.
As far as I know, at this point, this is all I can do.
Swoosh.

The red cougar descended slowly.
A training center built to surround a peak.
A high wall rises like a castle wall.
The thing that is placed on top of it is an electric fence.
Even watchtowers are visible everywhere, and CCTVs are monitoring the area tightly.
It looks more like a military base than a training center.
[Radar is installed. It detects your arrival.]
“Even radar? It’s all over the place.”
[A communication is coming in. Should I connect?]
“No. I don’t need it.”
I opened the door and went out.
Right in front of the training center’s main gate.
The main gate is guarded by several security guards.
A few large men walk out of the outpost.
The attire is that of a common guard uniform.
However, they each had a pistol hidden in their arms, and the three-sectioned staff on their waists was detected to have electric shock magic.
“Where are you from? This is the Jigo Training Center. It is closed at night. Excuse me, but if it is not urgent, it would be better to come during the day.”
There’s a big cult here.
All security guards are superhumans.
Even though it’s only level 2.
I walked forward without saying anything.
The security guards are visibly tense.
It can’t be helped.
Even though it was dark and they couldn’t see my identity, the red Cougar I was riding in looked expensive at first glance.
“If you come closer… … .”
No words are needed.
I just threw myself into it.
He stomps his foot hard and hits the security guard.
[Giant’s Power][Diamond Body][Immortal]
[Magic Soul][Real Fight][Air Raid]
My shoulder hit the security guard’s chest as if it was being sucked in.
Could a mere level 2 superhuman be able to withstand this?
You’re not wearing a protective suit like me, nor are you armed with armor like a cult knight?
It’s impossible.
Security guards soar into the air.
Blood was flying like a bomb exploding, and the security guards who had been braced on their shoulders looked dazed.
Crunch!
And the blood that bloomed.
He swung his sword in one breath and killed all the security guards.
The same was true for those who still remained at the outpost.
As the black energy exploded like a ray of light and pierced through their foreheads, they all fell down without even being able to sound the alarm.
“joy.”
All the superhumans here are trash.
It wasn’t even worth keeping alive.
He kicked the gate while holding the silent sword.
Kwaang!
A fairly thick iron gate.
He was completely helpless before my kicks.
It immediately crumples up like a piece of paper and flies far away.
Of course, the emergency bell rang loudly.
Why, why, why! Why, why!
Then, a magical light illuminates the entire training center.
Pot! Pot!
Searchlights were turned on in each watchtower.
A halo of light extending in a straight line shines down on me all at once.
Do you feel like a top star?
I threw Mjolnir absentmindedly.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One Mjolnir throw takes down one watchtower.
There is no need to grant an extermination spell or anything.
The lightning that Mjolnir unleashed, and the storm that was created by the thunderbolt and divine power, could easily obliterate even a flimsy watchtower.
“It’s an attack!”
“Emergency! Emergency!”
“Everyone, stand up!”
Now it’s a race against time.
Start running.
Destroy all visible facilities.
Any superhuman that is visible will bring about the end of life.
My decision was firm and without a moment of hesitation.
Because these guys called the Jigohwa Church, they know very well what kind of things this cult has done.
How many layers of defense have been breached?
The pseudo-people respond with guns, cannons, and missiles, but it’s no use.
pitfall?
It was the same.
Everything was seen through and destroyed by my eyes, which were equipped with ear, sixth sense, and even trap characteristics.
And so, we arrived at the underground great temple.
The heart of a cult.
It’s a monstrous form.
The pillars that rise here and there are reminiscent of thorns.
There are victims tied up here and there, bruised and broken, on each thorn.
With dead eyes.
Looking only at the huge pile of firewood in the center, the cremation ground where they were almost thrown.
“Black Star! Die!”
It’s the final gate.
The guardians rush in.
Mostly levels 5 and 6.
High-level superhumans who will be treated well wherever they go.
That’s not all.
A huge sword grew and shone from the holy sword raised by the leader of the guardians at the front.
A sword that cleverly combines fire, light, and darkness.
It was a supreme sword.
A superpower used only by the Holy Sword Knight, the highest rank of Paladin.
“Kuuuuu.”
The cult leader sitting high on the stage laughs.
The other Guardians also have triumphant expressions.
It is the ultimate holy sword of a level 7 paladin.
It is a superpower comparable to the sword master’s swordsmanship.
I had no doubt that that great sword would cut me in two.
But you were wrong.
I played Mars’ Sword Fighting, Nephilim’s Sword, and Kalaratree in succession.
A tiger-claw-like attack swept away the Guardian Leader and the Guardians.
What emerged at the end was a black and white sword.
It easily destroyed the Great Sword and turned into lightning to burn the superhumans.
Kkwarreung!
All that remains after the thunder is ashes.
“no!”
The leader stood up in shock.
His eyes were wide open as if they were going to tear apart.
“This, this is impossible! It’s impossible!”
Is that really true?
I didn’t go through all that trouble to collect the three great swords for nothing.
Phew!
Kicked the level 7 villain, the leader of a cult.
“Coolook! Keuheuk!”
The leader is rolling around, making a death sound.
Even if you are a level 7, as a priest, you have physical limitations.
As the magic seal was filled, the leader shouted.
“You! You infidel! Don’t you fear divine punishment? The great Supreme Being will personally punish you! If you don’t want to suffer in the Supreme Being’s stomach for eternity, release this now!”
“What the hell is this? It’s nonsense.”
“What, what?”
Horrible blasphemy.
The leader opened his mouth wide.
“How dare you, how dare you insult the Supreme Being!”
“Strictly speaking, your very existence is an insult to the Supreme Being. It is blasphemy. Do you understand?”
“This infidel!”
“Why? Should I use it as a last resort?”
Crunch!
I went around and freed the victims.
They are all in good condition because they were well cared for to be used as sacrifices.
Except for a few who have lost their minds after losing their relatives and family members right before their eyes.
The victims bowed down to me.
“Thank you! Thank you so much!”
“How can I repay this favor… … .”
“It’s okay. Oh, don’t hit that guy over there. It’s dangerous.”
One victim tried to kick the cult leader when I wasn’t looking.
When I ran over and stopped him, the victim started crying.
“Let go! That bastard, I’ll kill that bastard! That bastard killed my husband!”
“But not yet.”
“You’re not planning on putting him on trial, are you? The judge and the prosecutor are all in cahoots! Even if he gets caught, he’ll get released on probation!”
“I know. I’m going to kill you here.”
“Then why… … ”
“It won’t end if we just kill that guy.”
I can’t even make my own masterpiece.
Of course, I swallowed those words.
Instead, he made up a reasonable excuse.
“If you really want to end them, you have to kill God.”
“Poetry, God?”
“Yes. Even if you kill one apostle, a new apostle will be born. That’s how powerful their god is. So you have to kill the god. Then they won’t do something like this again.”
He grabbed the leader by the hair.
As we dragged ourselves towards the altar, the leader shouted.
“You infidel! What are you trying to do!”
“Okay. Try it.”
“What are you talking about!”
“I’m talking about the grand rite. Try it.”
They threw the leader down on the altar.
The cult leader looks at me with poisonous eyes.
“Ha! How presumptuous. A human being summoning a god and killing him? That’s possible… … .”
Then suddenly, his complexion changed dramatically.
The face that was filled with anger and hatred changed to one of shock and fear.
“S, really, you, you, Kim Jeon-sa, you were a warrior of the gods? I thought something was strange. So that’s how it was. You became so strong so quickly because you were a warrior of the gods. Which warrior of the gods are you? By any chance, by any chance… … .”
The leader’s face turned dark and dead.
“You’re not that cruel old father’s great warrior, are you?”
What is this?
Is that because you don’t know that I overcame my old father’s fever?
I can’t help but laugh.
Perhaps, with the mind of a fraudster, he came to the conclusion that the old father’s sect had thrown him out first.
The leader gritted his teeth.
“You damn bastards. You damn dogs. This is what you raised me for. You raised our sect! But you won’t do as you wish. The great incarnation of the Supreme Being will come down and devour you, your sect, and even the black-gold armored whore!”
“Oh, right. That’s why I said to summon it!”
“Don’t regret it! O great Supreme Being!”
The leader shouts.
There is no divine power.
The magic wave doesn’t extend out either.
However, the leader was an apostle of the god of disaster, and was in the same position as Saje Kim.
Naturally, the voice reaches the fire god of disaster.
Gulp.
The temple began to shake.
Sparks drip from the ceiling.
A texture that seems to be a mixture of liquid and solid, like lava.
As the flames hit the floor, it crackled and smoked.
The victims stepped aside in fear.
“Offer a sacrifice.”
“Sacrifice?”
“Of course. How can you summon a god without a sacrifice? Come on, come on, offer a sacrifice. I am ready.”
The leader lies face down with his chest out.
As if offering one’s own heart.
Both eyes were gleaming with madness.
It is actually possible.
Even if you sacrifice the leader, the incarnation of the god of disaster will descend.
An incarnation that is stronger than usual and burning with vengeance.
It’s a trap.
The problem isn’t getting stronger.
The problem is that it’s a wrong choice.
Whether the cult leader is sacrificed or the victims trembling behind him are sacrificed, the incarnation descends the same way.
If you defeat that incarnation and eat its heart, you will obtain [Calamity Flame].
If you use all six characteristics at once while holding the heart, it is combined into [Fire Disaster God].
Both are duds.
The reason I came here is because of the high ground.
And to obtain the highest rank, you must achieve certain feats like the Master of the Sword.
“No need.”
“what?”
“I will not offer sacrifices.”
“Huh, what are you talking about? God won’t respond without a sacrifice. Even if you kill me, a new apostle will be born in the branch in Busan.”
Busan branch is a piece of shit.
There are branches only in Incheon and Gyeonggi-do.
And you’re still joking even at this point.
I went and sat down on the pyre in the center of the temple.
Sparks are dripping all around.
A speed that contains magical and theological meaning.
Changed the trait.
[Black Flame][Sun Flame][Hell Flame]
[Heavenly Flower][Chaos Flower][Dragon King Flame]
Six treasured traits.
Among the fire attribute traits, these are tier 1 and top traits.
When I change my traits, my mood also changes.
As the flame attribute magic began to flow gently, the leader narrowed his eyes and looked at me.
“What are you trying to do? Are you trying to sacrifice yourself?”
“okay.”
“Poohahaha! Now I see that you were a crazy guy! If you want to die, die by yourself! Even suicide is really amazing!”
Is that really true?
It created magic.
The woodpile catches fire naturally.
Even though I didn’t use the trait, the specially treated firewood copied my trait and was spitting out six sparks.
Crackle. Crackle.
The fire burns me.
Burn it.
“Hahahaha! Hahahaha!”
The leader laughs and shakes his body.
“Your Majesty… … .”
“Why on earth… … .”
The victims look at me with anxiety.
It was painful, but I endured it.
The six traits swallowed a groan based on the fire resistance they provided as a basic feature.
A self-sacrifice that is almost like a double.
And sacrifice.
Because these two were the basic conditions for the [Saint of Fire] achievement.
