Chapter 39 Noona's Wrath Toward Those Who Came Across Dimensions
Chapter 39: {Big Sister's Wrath Against Those Who Crossed Dimensions}
The day had finally arrived.
The dimensional shift magic to Earth was complete.
"Ah..."
Mine, the silver-haired Saintess, let hot tears stream down her face.
'At last... I can see Ji-hu again!'
For the past month, there hadn't been a single day when she hadn't thought of him. His face appeared whenever she closed her eyes, his voice echoing in her ears as if he were right beside her. The thought of seeing his gentle smile again made her heart tremble uncontrollably.
Every passing day had been hell—a living nightmare.
"Ji-hu... I'm so sorry..."
As Mine whispered the words she most wanted to say to him, she smiled even as tears fell. The joy of seeing him again clashed with the crushing guilt of what she had done to him.
The memory of him collapsing, bleeding because of them, sent waves of agony through her chest, as if her heart might stop. Once praised as the benevolent Saintess, she didn't know if she could ever return to those days when she would blush at his compliments.
If he wanted her dead, she would gladly offer her life as penance. She didn't dare hope for forgiveness—only that she might ease even a fraction of his pain. And there were so many things left unsaid...
"It's time... Let's begin. Everyone, get ready."
At the words of Scarlet, the beautiful red-haired mage, the Saintess Mine, the golden-haired Princess Knight Iris, and the green-haired Elf Yenia gathered together.
"Via ad alium mundum... The path to another world..."
As Scarlet began chanting, they felt an immense energy envelop them. The extracted energy from the Demon King Reisir's Heart served as the catalyst, while Ji-hu's spilled blood acted as the medium, linking them to Earth—his home.
SHWOOOOOOSH—!
A blinding light swallowed them whole. When it faded, they found themselves in a world filled with towering structures.
"Those buildings...!"
Long, massive constructions stretched across the landscape. Though they had never seen such things before, they had heard of them.
"Finally... Finally!"
Iris laughed through tears, overwhelmed. There was no mistaking it—those were the skyscrapers Ji-hu had described. They had arrived on Earth, in the Republic of Korea!
"Whoa, who are they?"
"Damn, they're gorgeous!"
"Shit, they're hot."
"Watch your mouth. They might be Returnees."
Given how often Returnees brought people from other worlds back with them, the sudden appearance of four women in the middle of the city didn't faze the onlookers. Normally, authorities would intervene to verify their identities, but this time was different.
WHOOSH—!
A vast darkness abruptly swallowed them whole.
"W-What is this?!"
Mine hastily summoned holy power to shield herself and the others, but the darkness consumed them effortlessly—defenses and all.
"They're gone?"
"Where'd they go?"
In a world where spatial teleportation existed, people barely batted an eye at the spectacle, treating it as just another oddity.
THUD!
"GYAH!"
"Ugh!"
"Khh—!"
Mine, Scarlet, Yenia, and Iris groaned as they realized they had been transported to an unfamiliar space.
"I had a feeling you'd come, but you saved me the trouble of hunting you down."
The voice was cold—beautiful, like rolling pearls, yet so frigid it felt like their bodies might freeze solid just from hearing it. Then, its owner stepped forward.
Long, jet-black hair cascaded like polished ebony. A simple black top hugged her frame, paired with tight blue jeans that accentuated her curves. Her beauty was otherworldly—so flawless that for a moment, they wondered if they were hallucinating.
She surpassed even the most renowned beauties of the Terra Continent.
"Welcome, you filthy bitches. You've walked straight into hell."
But the words that left her lips were venomous.
As she advanced, Iris hastily drew her sword, trembling.
"Stay back! Who are you?!"
The terror she felt dwarfed even what she had experienced fighting the Demon King. As a skilled swordsman, she could usually gauge an opponent's strength—but this woman was beyond comprehension.
'Too strong...'
She eclipsed even the Hero Yu Ji-hu. The pressure was suffocating.
"Grant us your blessing...!"
Mine desperately invoked holy power, shielding the group.
WHOOSH—
Scarlet summoned flames of mana, ready to strike.
Yenia nocked an arrow, spirits materializing around her for a multi-pronged assault.
The black-haired woman smirked.
"Struggle all you want. If you want to live, you should."
The moment she raised her sword, Scarlet and Yenia attacked.
BOOOOM—!
SWOOSH!
CRACKLE!
FWOOM!
A relentless barrage of spells, arrows, and spirit attacks—an all-out assault that would have obliterated any normal foe.
But the woman didn't even flinch.
"HAAAH!"
Iris lunged, golden hair whipping as she swung her blade—
CLANG!
—only for the woman to block it effortlessly, the impact sending Iris staggering back.
"So this is how it was."
The dust settled instantly, revealing the woman completely unharmed.
Her flawless beauty was terrifying now.
Then, her next words shattered them.
"This is how you betrayed my Ji-hu. How you hurt him."
Ji-hu.
The name drained all fight from them.
"J-Ji-hu...?"
"H-How do you know him?"
"D-Don't tell me—"
Iris stammered. They had learned Korean from Ji-hu, so while their speech was slightly awkward, they understood perfectly.
And now, they noticed what they had missed in their terror.
'She looks like him!'
'The resemblance...!'
The black-haired beauty bore an uncanny resemblance to the man they longed to see.
And then it hit them—the strong, beautiful older sister Ji-hu always spoke of.
"Y-You're..."
"Yu Ha-rin... Ji-hu's sister?"
The woman—Yu Ha-rin—glared, her voice glacial.
"How dare you traitors say my name after betraying and hurting my brother."
Her eyes burned with unrestrained fury.
Ji-hu, don't worry.
I'll make sure these bitches taste hell before they even realize they're dead.
Forget about them. Stay with me forever.
If it's what you want... I'll do anything for you.
A dark aura surged around Ha-rin's blade.
