8.
Meanwhile, inside the final gate.
“at las… … .”
Cheol-ho Choi, head of Rebellions’ first branch, looked thrilled in front of the final gate boss room.
How much effort did you put in to open the final gate?
The effort he put in to bring destruction to the world was beyond imagination.
It’s been almost 30 years.
It was the time it took to put pressure on the seven guilds, secretly build up strength, and come up with a way to break the seal.
“Kkkkkkk, I can see seven bastards howling! let’s go! Guys! “To destroy the world!”
Following Choi Cheol-ho, who shouted like that, the awakened people of the 1st branch of Rebellions began to move.
Choi Cheol-ho smiled as he opened the door to the boss room and entered.
“This is the starting point of the apocalypse. “The place where the demon god, Azathoth, is sealed.”
Choi Cheol-ho took out the magic tablet from his arms.
It took 30 years to create this.
To see everyone in the world screaming once again.
[The boss monster is sealed.]
Choi Cheol-ho saw a system message he hadn’t seen in a long time and approached the pillar where Azathoth was sealed.
Choi Cheol-ho, who brought the horse tablet there, shouted.
“He will be resurrected. I hope that you will be resurrected and bring despair to the world once again.”
The moment Choi Cheol-ho finished speaking, Ma Jeong began to glow ink.
***
Grumble.
The moment Kang Moo-seong opened his mouth, the gate began to vibrate.
“W-what is it?”
“Everyone stay calm!”
We all looked at the final gate together.
The vibrating gate soon radiated bright light.
And in that light, people in black appeared.
“Everyone, prepare for battle!”
Claire shouted after seeing that, and we started to get nervous.
“what? “Are there kids waiting for us who knew we would come out?”
In response to Choi Cheol-ho’s words, the people standing around Choi Cheol-ho began to say one thing at a time.
“We will handle it on our own.”
“I think the branch leader should go first and tell us this good news.”
“okay. Come have some fun. Because it’s not safe here either.”
“all right.”
At Choi Cheol-ho’s words, three awakened members of the first branch stepped forward.
“Only three people?”
“What shall we do, sir?”
“Before that, hero Kang Moo-seong. Please answer.”
At my words, we started watching Kang Moo-sung again.
Claire looked at Kang Moo-sung with annoyed eyes.
“The Rebellions have appeared. “If you don’t answer quickly, I’ll consider you an enemy.”
It had already appeared and was moving around around her.
Kang Moo-seong looked at that and said.
“I did not betray.”
“Then why did you bring us here?”
Kang Moo-seong sighed in response to my persistent questions.
“I received a favor.”
“To whom?”
“To the other guys.”
I asked with an uncomfortable expression.
The actions of the seven heroes when the apocalypse occurred in the second episode flashed through my mind.
“no way… … .”
“What, are you sure that other guys are letting you babysit?”
Kang Moo-seong’s reaction made Claire aware of the situation.
“These bastards, what are you doing, leaving all the kids to me… … .”
“What do you mean?”
“no way… Did our father ask hero Kang Moo-seong to help us?”
Choi Seol and Ban Hye-jin watched the situation unfold and said.
When asked that question, I first turned to Kang Moo-sung.
“sorry. I misunderstood. “I think it would be better to hear the details later.”
After saying that, I walked towards the approaching awakened members of Rebellions.
9.
“Little one, why are you going ahead alone?”
Claire followed next to me as I walked toward Rebellions.
“I have to finish it quickly.”
“huh?”
“Rebellions came out safely from the final gate. This means… … .”
“You’re screwed.”
“yes?”
I tilted my head, not knowing that such harsh words would come out of Claire’s mouth.
“it’s okay. I think you’re right. Go full force. Kang Moo-seong! “You take care of the kids!”
As Claire shouted, the Four Great Spirits appeared everywhere.
“uh? “You are the hero of the seven?”
The awakened members of Rebellions who saw Claire’s appearance recognized her and spoke to her.
“Kikik, it’s too late~”
“What makes you late?”
Claire asked, moving in an instant to the three awakened members of the First Branch.
The Four Great Spirits were not dealing with the three Awakened, but were chasing the Rebellions branch leader who was moving far away.
It seemed like I could leave that to Claire’s spirit, so I thought I should help Claire.
“I’ll take the left side, you take the right side.”
At that time, Yunmir passed by me and said.
Hearing what he said, I ran towards the guy on the right without another word.
Grumble.
At that moment, the gate vibrated once again.
“you… “What were you doing inside?”
The awakened members of Rebellions laughed at Claire’s question and shouted.
“Now the world is ending.”
“It’s destruction!!”
“Khahaha!!”
I extended my fist towards the three awakened people who seemed to be in the grip of madness.
As the strongest gauntlet was activated and struck the air, a wind blew towards the enemies.
Grumbling.
Claire, who was standing in front, saw that I had created a windstorm and lightly lit the wind.
Then the Fire Hand was created.
The awakened people of Rebellions who saw the fire fist flying did not dodge the fire fist.
“You’re not avoiding it?”
Grumble!
Even though it was stuck to their bodies, they started to laugh strangely, looking like they didn’t feel any pain.
“Have you heard of the name Demon?”
“… Kikikick, we have a new life.”
“A flame of this magnitude cannot harm us!!”
“Let’s see if you can survive if your head falls off your body.”
At that time, it was Yoon Mir who approached them.
Yunmir, who swung his dragon claws and aimed for the heads of the Rebellions, thought he could easily cut off the heads of the awakened members of the Rebellions.
Kaang.
The dragon claw collided with the neck, and it made a sound like hitting something hard.
Yunmir looked at Rebellions with disbelief.
“you guys… “You met a demon god.”
Claire, who saw this, muttered to them with eyes filled with astonishment.
“Kikiki, worship!”
“I will kill them all!!”
A dark energy began to flow from their entire bodies.
-Kyaoo!!
-Kwaang!!
-Awww!!
The moment the dark energy overflowed from their entire bodies, the cries of the monsters, believed to be monsters, could be heard from the final gate.
“Siwoo!”
“Leave those guys to us.”
“You trust us and just deal with the awakened ones!”
“I will lead the students, so you and Yunmir follow Claire and take down those guys.”
Even Teacher Kang Joo-hyuk said that and passed me by and ran toward the monster.
I glanced back at Yoon Mir.
He had a thoughtful expression.
I definitely had a lot to think about.
The fact that Yoon Mir is here means that Yoon Ga-on may have also entrusted Yoon Mir to Kang Moo-seong.
I bit my lip.
Choi Kang, Yoo Da-hee, Ban I-su, Kang Yeon-geum and Yoon Ga-on are not here.
As soon as the apocalypse broke out in the second episode, they fell into a big crisis.
I looked around.
The past and present I knew have become so different.
While we were here, other heroes could be in danger.
‘Damn, that’s why Choi Kang is like that…’ … .’
When I remembered the suspicious look in Choi Kang’s eyes while I was teaching him during vacation, I remembered what he said before sending me back to Awakening High School with Choi Seol.
10.
“Please take care of Seol.”
At that time, Choi Kang thought that it was a good idea to say those words to Lee Si-woo.
By now, the disciple must be burning with enthusiasm as he looks at the unlocked gate.
[The status window opens.]
[The seal of the final gate has been released.]
[The world is destroyed again.]
Choi Kang bit his lip when he saw the system message that appeared in front of him.
As expected, the Rebellions seemed to have broken the demon’s seal at the final gate.
“In the end, this is what happens.”
He blurted it out deliberately and self-deprecatingly.
As if reacting to his words, numerous people in black appeared around him.
Susssseu.
“A long time? Strongest?”
The one who walked out from among them was Hwang Yu-hyeok, the deputy director of the 1st branch of Rebellions.
“Hwang Yoo-hyuk… … .”
“30 years ago, we were so opposed, but you betrayed us and made the world peaceful.”
“that… … .”
“I still can’t forget what you said about cutting off the livelihood of all the hunters in the world.”
Hwang Yoo-hyuk gritted his teeth as he recalled what happened 30 years ago.
“Do you want to make it difficult for people living in the present because of what happened in the past?”
“I won’t make it difficult for you.”
Choi Kang tilted his head at Hwang Yu-hyuk’s words.
“We will prevent destruction again.”
“what?”
“This time, it will be our Rebellions who become the seven heroes.”
Choi Kang looked dumbfounded at Hwang Yoo-hyuk’s words.
“So, are you saying that you have now unsealed the gate that we closed in order to become us?”
“okay.”
“you… “I think you are taking Azathoth too lightly.”
Hwang Yu-hyuk answered those words.
“I think you think too easily of us. “It was Rebellion that prevented you, the world’s strongest, from doing anything.”
Choi Kang closed his mouth at those words.
Even though he clearly knew the Rebellions’ intentions, the strongest could not stop them from moving.
Unlike 30 years ago, now there are too many people who are important to Choi Kang.
But unfortunately, Choi Kang was not given time to spend with his precious people.
Due to the nature of Kangrim’s talent, the strongest’s lifespan was bound to be short.
The more Choi Kang used his talents, the more he felt that his lifespan was short.
In this situation, the Rebellions threatened the strongest with the lives of the strongest’s family, members of the strongest guild, and their families.
Don’t move, stay still even if we come to the front.
Pay now for betraying us 30 years ago.
Choi Kang could do nothing at the words of Choi Cheol-ho, the first branch leader of Rebellions, his own younger brother who had now become a stranger.
… That’s what Rebellions must be thinking.
‘Without even knowing what my real purpose is.’
But I’m done with pretending to be treated like this.
“You can’t do it your way, right?”
“what?”
“The world is not so gentle.”
“Do you know why I entrusted the kids to Kang Moo-seong?”
Hwang Yoo-hyuk swallowed his dry saliva at Choi Kang’s words.
“You guys sent guys from each branch to the other seven heroes just in time for this moment, right?”
Hwang Yu-hyuk flinched at those words.
“Yes, today the Seven Heroes will disappear from the world, and the Rebellions will reign over the awakened ones!”
Choi Kang smiled strangely at Hwang Yu-hyuk’s shout.
“Cheolho too. I don’t know how they came up with the idea of using kids like you. Yoohyuk. Because today is the end for you anyway. Listen carefully. “You were used by me.”
