Chapter Title: Why Avoid Director Han Su-ah?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
066
"Why are you avoiding Director Han Su-ah so much?"
Go Yohan had once asked Lee Jae-kyung that question.
"That big sis..."
Lee Jae-kyung had replied as if completely worn out.
"She doesn't know when to quit. It's like she's an F1 racing car."
And now.
"What are you doing?"
Han Su-ah pointed her rapier at Go Yohan and spoke.
"Pick up a weapon, you rascal."
Once she set her sights on something, she never let go.
Her tenacity was infamous, said to last for decades in some cases.
"No choice, then."
Go Yohan eventually shrugged.
He had wanted to see and experience firsthand just how far the divine power went.
"But not like this."
Still.
"I don't need a weapon."
He figured he should test it out.
Whether they could keep up with his mother's efforts.
"What?"
"And."
Boom!
The aura bursting from Go Yohan swept across the training grounds like an explosion.
Clang!
In an instant, the Seventh Raid Team members drew their weapons and assumed combat stances.
Even so, their faces showed bewilderment.
"Instinct."
They had no intention of getting involved in this event, yet their instincts had sensed danger and moved their bodies.
What was even more surprising was that Jeong Ho-gun, a non-combatant, felt nothing at all.
Even as a non-combatant, was it because he was part of the Sanctuary?
Step.
Jeong Ho-gun wisely backed away, hiding behind the safety barrier.
"It won't mean anything if the raid captain goes alone."
"You insolent..."
The raid team members who had drawn their weapons couldn't easily sheathe them again.
"Auntie, huh. Yeah..."
Screech!
A sword slashed through the air, stopping right in front of Go Yohan's nose.
"You're supposed to be a villain, and you do look the part a bit. But to me, you're still just a brat."
It wasn't Han Su-ah's will that halted the sword as if to threaten.
Two of Go Yohan's fingers were gripping the rapier.
"You all saw that, right? No joke. You were curious too, weren't you?"
It could have bruised their pride.
"Think of it as a raid."
"......!"
"The enemy we're facing is..."
Smirk.
Han Su-ah smiled.
Twitch.
The moment her muscles flexed, the rapier slipped from Go Yohan's fingers and swung again.
"Go Yohan. Don't think I'll go easy on you. Looks like I can't fix my nephew's manners alone."
Screech!
Even so, Han Su-ah's rapier precisely targeted only Go Yohan's vital points.
Clang! Tremble.
The rapier clashed against Go Yohan again, ringing out and trembling.
"What are you doing!"
That was when Han Su-ah's voice rang out.
"I'm sorry!"
Right behind him, Yeo Jin-hwi thrust his sword toward Go Yohan's back.
Whether multiple skills were stacked, the eerie blue light seemed ready to shred Go Yohan's body to pieces.
And.
Screech!
Arrows flew in simultaneously.
But.
Whoosh!
Go Yohan swung his free arm, unleashing a fierce gust of wind that deflected everything.
"What... such brute force..."
Both Han Su-ah and the Seventh Raid Team looked stunned.
A mere swing of his hand had canceled skill activations and knocked away arrows from ranker-level players?
"This is about the level of a two-horned demon right now."
Go Yohan said as.
Crunch.
He stomped the ground.
"I'll match your level."
"Where do you get off imitating a villain!"
Fwoosh!
Intense energy poured from Han Su-ah's entire body.
She really was a fiery woman.
*

Roar!
Flames seemed to blaze across Han Su-ah's body.
The sword she swung simultaneously whipped up long trails of fire that enveloped Go Yohan.
Heat that would turn most players to ash in an instant.
Whoosh!
Go Yohan swept his hand again, and the gust of wind pushed back Han Su-ah's flames.
"What the hell."
A plain wind couldn't have done it.
"From two-horned demons onward, they can manipulate mana."
If infused with mana, the gust could.
And at that moment.
"Raid formation! Assume humanoid monster!"
The Seventh Raid Team began moving together.
They instantly formed up, positioning themselves to surround Go Yohan.
Rumble rumble!
The energy pouring from them converged into a single point, bearing down on Go Yohan.
"Formation."
Mana had flows, and players were those who manipulated and wielded those flows, often instinctively.
Whether they knew it or not, their positions and structure.
Hummm!
The auras from some players manipulated the flow, compressing it into a single point.
The Sanctuary's raid teams varied in size by squad, but generally around fifty members.
The Seventh had a bit more, around sixty.
Rumble rumble rumble!
Their mana merged in unison, becoming something even greater as it crushed down on Go Yohan.
"......"
"No way."
But the ones panicking were the Seventh Raid Team.
Even a gate boss would be pinned to the ground screaming under this pressure, yet Go Yohan's expression didn't change.
However.
"Buff!"
"Buff!"
The supporter players' buffs activated.
Roar!
With Han Su-ah at the center, the flow shifted once more.
Boom!
Even fiercer mana pressure bore down on Go Yohan.
Groan groan groan!
Go Yohan's body began to tremble faintly, and small footprints appeared beneath his feet.
"Impressive."
Han Su-ah clicked her tongue at the sight.
"So you're at least villain-worthy, my rascal."
"Still, better than I expected."
That was when Go Yohan's eyes changed slightly.
"Now it's three-horned. About the level of the Black Gate boss that opened in Korea."
Grrrrrind!
The Seventh Raid Team began to be pushed back.
They couldn't hide their shock.
Around sixty ranker-level players—most capable of entering the rankings at any time.
They had given their all, joined by Han Su-ah in the formation.
Grind!
And it was being pushed back.
Step.
In contrast, Go Yohan moved as if feeling no pressure at all.
"You all just going to stare?"
Go Yohan's voice.
Screech!
At the same time, a sound of wind erupted from behind.
"No way."
Han Su-ah had closed in on Go Yohan's back at a speed incomparable to before.
Boom!
An explosive blast erupted between the blocking fingers and the rapier.
"Nice block."
Han Su-ah retreated without hesitation.
Screech!
Sword strikes and arrows poured from behind once more.
It was remarkable.
Clearly, no one in the Seventh Raid Team matched Han Su-ah's strength.
Boom!
Yet the power was no less than hers.
"Mana transfer."
A technique using the formation to transfer mana.
The player receiving the focused mana endured immense pressure that could damage their body momentarily.
Boom boom boom!
But it was as if they'd gained another Han Su-ah-level player.
Seamless linkages without openings.
Boom!
Pressing Go Yohan relentlessly, small scratches began appearing on his body one by one.
"Impressive."
Was this what it meant to be Korea's number one?
"They've internalized it well in such a short time."
There was something the Seventh Raid Team didn't know.
That.
Humm.
Go Yohan had taught them this mana formation.
Of course, discreetly through the church, but for them to master it so perfectly.
And the Seventh Raid Team, not even the Sanctuary's absolute elites, achieving this much was remarkable.
"One point."
Go Yohan's divine eyes saw the threads weaving and crossing.
A slight touch there would shatter their mana formation.
But he couldn't do that.
"Divine eyes are my ability."
They needed to experience a demon.
Boom!
Several descending swords bound Go Yohan like a prison.
Following that.
"Binding!"
"Entangle!"
Magic formed by skills restrained Go Yohan once more.
"How's that, rascal? Does the Sanctuary still look lacking?"
On top of that, the rapier's blade at Go Yohan's throat.
Han Su-ah looked at him with a victor's smile.
"I know you've got more, but we're no slouches in the field."
That was when Han Su-ah spoke as if she'd already won completely.
"It's lacking."
"What?"
At that moment.
Twitch.
Han Su-ah's body jerked.
Tremble.
The players who had formed the sword prison began to shake.
Thud.
The support players, lacking in level and physique, collapsed outright.
Go Yohan had mimicked the power of a three-horned demon, but hadn't shown everything they possessed.
Demons.
"Those damn fiends."
Had even trickier talents.
The most troublesome one.
[The Curse, Sloth, activates.]
Curses and domains riddled with all sorts of debuffs—that was it.
To imitate it, Go Yohan spread Sloth in its weakest form.
Those without resistance to curses were collapsing one by one from the overwhelming sense of powerlessness.
"And..."
That was when Go Yohan's eyes sank once more.
"Gah!"
Screams began to echo.
Rooooar!
It was a waterfall, a tidal wave.
"This is four horns."
Level 600.
"Want more?"
At Go Yohan's question, Han Su-ah gritted her teeth and glared.
"...Do... it."
She truly knew no surrender.
*

The Sanctuary's training grounds could withstand even high-rankers causing chaos, ending with mere scratches.
The guild building itself was confident to endure several nukes unscathed.
And there.
Rip!
A torn hole whistled with wind.
"Huff, huff."
The collapsed raid team members gasped for breath.
"......"
Han Su-ah.
Thud.
Passed out with her eyes still open.
"Sigh."
Go Yohan covered his face in exasperation.
Of all things.
"Now I get why he avoids her."
It was the day he truly understood why Lee Jae-kyung dodged Han Su-ah.
Most of the Seventh Raid Team fainted from the four-horned demon's power, but Han Su-ah had pushed her player core to overload trying to fight to the end.
Of course, not quite to five horns.
"...Not bad."
Go Yohan placed his hand on the fallen Han Su-ah and said.
"In their own way."
He acknowledged not their skill, but their will and grit.
