Chapter Title: Breaking into the Demon Realm
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Kwaaaaa—!
A fierce wind swept through the area.
“Eek!”
The ordinary soldiers staggered as if they might be blown away.
Kukuku!
The massive transport plane was pushed by the wind and began to move uncontrollably.
“G-Gate….”
Anton and the other players widened their eyes.
“Gate Break!”
What was happening now was a Gate Break.
Gates had appeared, players had emerged.
By the time massive guilds formed, the world had stabilized.
A Gate Break was an accident that only occasionally occurred in backward player nations.
Kwaaaaa!
It was as if a break had occurred at an airport that boasted near-perfect safety with Gate Break devices.
“Civilians are in danger! Association members, immediately…!”
“Secure the airport!”
Since a Gate Break had opened.
The sight of A-rank monsters like wyverns that had been inside the gate pouring out seemed to herald the end of Russia.
It was then.
Wuuung.
The wind whipped up once more.
“Is the Captain going to handle it personally?”
“Seems like the fastest way.”
A leisurely conversation came from behind.
When they looked that way.
Paat.
Go Yohan extended his hand toward the monsters pouring out.
And the moment he slowly rotated his hand, clenching the open palm.
Kung!
Even Mikhail, who wasn’t a player, could feel it.
Anton, a player, and the association members.
“……!”
Their faces twisted in shock as they hurriedly turned their heads.
There.
Wooduduk!
Dozens of wyverns that had escaped the gate were being literally crushed.
As if handling space itself with his hand, they flapped desperately at Go Yohan’s gesture, being pulverized.
The wyverns bit and tore at each other to survive, and even that wasn’t enough—they collided and shredded one another.
It was like.
Gulp.
The wall that had appeared in Vladivostok.
Like if the wall itself began to compress, all life inside would end up like that.
Charruk.
Cracks formed in the compressed space, and wyvern blood began to pour out.
Amid that grotesque sight.
Kwang!
The compressed wyverns fell.
A-grade gate monsters that could have devastated half the nearby city, even with countless players deployed to Vladivostok, vanished in an instant.
“Weren’t we short on time?”
Go Yohan’s voice.
“Let’s hurry and depart.”
“…Uh… Yes.”
Anton mumbled blankly.
“…….”
Mikhail couldn’t even move easily.
As Russia’s Minister of Defense, he had seen the power of players countless times.
“…Barbarians.”
The words Anton had spoken were true.
-They’re not players.
The only ones who could help in this crisis, the words he’d used to persuade.
-They’re just monsters.
Mikhail.
“I apologize once more…!”
He seemed to imagine what consequences his earlier rudeness could have led to.
But as if he didn’t care about such things, Go Yohan and Shins walked forward.
Only.
“Eh! Idiot.”
A boy of about fifteen muttered that in Russian.
There was no room for rebuttal.
Those things were.
‘…Monsters.’
Monsters, after all.

“You look so devious when you see your big sis.”
On the way to the wall, Kim Sion said to Yun Seunga.
“That was your doing, right?”
The Gate Break at the airport.
“The Captain’s involved, so it’s the scariest.”
“What? That was you, Seunga?”
At Kim Sion’s words, Lee Jaekyung’s eyes widened.
“Env… Shut your mouth.”
“That’s mean.”
Fortunately, only they were in the moving vehicle.
Anton and the high-ranking officials who were supposed to ride with them seemed to have been too scared by the airport incident.
“No, seriously, was that you, Seunga?”
Lee Jaekyung asked again.
“…….”
“Mister, don’t you know that face? The ‘Those guys deserve it!’ face…. Ack!”
Env hit by a sudden magic missile shed tears.
To precisely cast and suppress such a complex spell inside a moving car.
“Well, it feels good inside, but try to understand those guys.”
Lee Jaekyung chuckled.
“Who’d believe it.”
Shins, composed of apostles, had revealed themselves less than a month ago.
Without the Temple’s name or proof from the Black Gate raid, none of this would have been possible.
That these mere rookies possessed the power to do what no one in the world could.
“I heard….”
Heh.
Lee Jaekyung laughed as if it was truly absurd.
“They’re getting nukes transferred to them.”
Lee Jaekyung had watched Go Yohan and the apostles from the beginning.
Go Yohan had little interest in worldly affairs from the start, his mindset fundamentally different.
‘Demons.’
Only demons and the goddess filled his head.
And the apostles.
“…….”
They were completely twisted, to say the least.
The apostles’ common sense was entirely different from ordinary people’s.
Lee Jaekyung, once an ordinary person, still couldn’t easily understand.
‘To them, people are….’
Just bugs, perhaps.
No thought of protection, no loyalty or devotion to nations.
Just look at Greed.
How shocked he’d been when a girl not even ten years old manipulated trillions in funds and devoured corporations.
To them, it was play, no different from elementary school midterms.
‘Monsters.’
Lee Jaekyung thought that wasn’t wrong.
However.
Swish.
Because Go Yohan existed.
Because the apostles were under his perfect control and moved by his will, it was somewhat fortunate.
“…Well, only one person can stop them anyway.”
“Mister, what’ve you been mumbling since earlier?”
“You shut up too, kid.”
Meanwhile, Go Yohan.
“…….”
Had his eyes closed.
Concentrating his mind, recalling the past.
-Chwiik.
The ten million orcs, and their great chieftain.
Kkiiik.
The vehicle stopped, and Anton approached.
“…We’ve arrived. I hope there were no inconveniences.”
Ignoring such words, Go Yohan exited the vehicle first.
There, thousands of players waited, and several times more soldiers controlled the area.
In front of them.
Wuuung!
Was the wall.
Go Yohan knew what it was.
‘Demon Realm-ization.’
It meant the full invasion had begun.
“Do you need preparations?”
Anton said.
Desperation he couldn’t hide emanated from him.
“No.”
Go Yohan replied and slowly walked forward.
Yun Seunga and the others followed.
Swish.
At Anton’s gesture, everyone waiting stepped back, clearing a path.
Their expressions weren’t much different from Mikhail’s at the airport.
‘What are they doing?’
‘Who the hell are those guys?’
‘Fuck. This isn’t a joke.’
Such mutters could be heard.
“I really don’t like them. Captain, can I just kill them all?”
At Kim Sion’s words, Lee Jaekyung pulled him back.
Go Yohan approached the wall in the meantime.
The wall grew blacker as time passed.
“For the past few hours… we haven’t even been able to scout inside.”
Listening to Anton who had approached.
Tok.
The moment Go Yohan touched the wall.
Hwaaaaaaak—!
Waves spread across the pitch-black wall, instantly revealing what was inside.
There.
“Uweeek!”
“W-What is that.”
“Fuck! You bastards—!”
Was hell.
*
*
*
Orcs were hunting people herded toward the wall.
Players resisted, but it was futile.
They tore arms from dying corpses and chewed them.
They smeared their faces with the blood.
Tremble.
Green-skinned, dumb-looking, purely ferocious.
That was the orc in the players’ minds.
“Cr… Crazy!”
“Fucking bastards! I’ll kill you all!”
In Go Yohan’s mind, orcs were exactly those.
Enraged players tried to charge the wall immediately.
Then.
Tok.
Go Yohan touched the wall again.
Puhwaaaaak!
Red orcs inside exploded, and finally, they looked ‘out’.
People spat out eyes of hope.
Swish.
The orcs cautiously retreated.
The orcs weren’t looking at the players.
Chwiik, Gorejul… Krack.
Only Go Yohan.
As the orcs’ lips curled sharply.
Tok.
He tapped the wall again.
Kwaaang!
A strike transcending space exploded among the orcs.
Right now, Go Yohan was warning them.
‘Don’t move carelessly.’
And.
‘I will enter.’
Perhaps realizing that intent.
Swish.
The orcs dropped their weapons.
To those bloodthirsty ones, human hunting was mere pastime; what truly boiled their blood was battle with the strong.
Amid that, the orcs who saw Go Yohan would have only him in their minds.
“…….”
Everyone watched the scene and fell silent.
An indescribable complexity.
Within that, Go Yohan stepped back again.
“Shall I assist?”
“No need.”
Replying to Yun Seunga, Go Yohan slowly gripped the necklace.
An inverted cross black necklace.
[Mark of the Sin]
And he closed his eyes.
This was different from the preliminary battles so far.
What began now was the true holy war.
‘Goddess.’
He offered a final prayer to her.
“Status window.”
As if in prayer, he opened the status window.
[Go Yohan]
[Class: Black Knight]
Truly, it had been a long time since he’d seen them.
[Level….]
The world rank 1 was in the low 400s, was it?
In his youth, there was no need to level up.
The same afterward.
Faith was all he needed.
But after sharing sins and curses, acquiring a total of nine player cores, changes appeared in Go Yohan’s status window.
[700]
The end of the level that rose no further was written there.
And below it.
[Faith….]
Faith was there.
Grip.
The moment he pressed the cross firmly.
[3000]
Go Yohan opened his closed eyes.
Creeeeng—!
A portion of the wall shattered instantly.
[First achievement accomplished! Acquire Domain Raider.]
[You can destroy the entrance to the Demon Realm territory.]
[Acquire a large amount of Karma Points.]
No sooner had the wall broken.
Hwaruruk!
Yun Seunga’s magic enveloped the orcs.
