Chapter 208 – Episode 208 Salvation Church Raid

As a result of gathering the data of the students, me, Diana and the Sword Saint, I was able to identify the location of the Salvation Church’s stronghold.
It was Gangnam where I first met Shin Seo-ah.

A city full of people.
Their base was in this city.

“Look over there. It’s a swordsman.”
“Is there an iron wall near Lee Gangsan?”
“Saint Guild to Twilight Guild? Why is everyone gathered?”
“Isn’t something wrong?”

People’s eyes turned to us.
Everyone was surprised by the appearance of celebrities such as Geomseong, Lee Kang-san, and Diana.
Of course, they were famous for being the strongest in the Hunter world.
If you lined up in a row, everyone would be in your hands.
Even Chungha noona was able to rank in the top 20 in Korea.

“This is Seonhwa Chae, student council president. What is going on here?”
“Uh? I know that girl! Is she the one who appeared in the academy test broadcast before?”

There are my extracurricular students following in their footsteps.
All eyes were on students including Ara, Hyeri, Soo-ryun, and Mina.
Everyone was famous.
There are few people who do not watch the broadcast of the second test of the Korean Academy.

“Hey, there… Who is that man?”

And their eyes turned to me, who was with them.

The first person in your life to be with famous people.
The emotions in their eyes were curiosity and wonder.

Among those famous people, everyone seemed to be curious about my true identity.

“Now, don’t come any closer. Dangerous.”

The Twilight Guild members and Saint Guild members stood back.

“How are you feeling?”

Diana came up to me and asked.

“What do you mean?”
“I’m not going to be famous again. The shadow mask of a hero who used a stigma in the past, returns as Kim Si-woo! A story that reporters will like?”
“I don’t care about being famous.”
“Hmm, is that so?”
“Yes. I’ve been through too much to be thrilled with fame.”
“Well, I guess. You’re a veteran who’s been through this for a long time, aren’t you?”
“…”

Then Diana asked.

“Why did you bring your students this day?”

Her mouth was laughing, but her eyes were reprimanding me.
Why did you bring students to this?

“I promised to take him to a full-scale fight. And.”
“And?”
“Kids need to know. The reality of this Hunter world. They’re all adults, so they’ll be able to take it.”
“Whew, I’m not in favor of that choice. But since Siwoo and the students were talking, there is no reason for me to interfere.”

She’s worried
Will not the talents of the future, which are not yet fully ripe, be sacrificed in the fight that will take place in the present?

“There will be nothing to worry about.”

I won’t allow it.

“I trust Siwoo. I believe you will do well.”

She tapped me on the shoulder and smiled and went back to her seat.

“Teacher… Is this over there?”
“Okay.”

I nodded my head at Ara’s question.

“This is the headquarters of the Salvationists who believe in the Watcher as God.”

I pointed at the old building in front of me.
A 10-story old building that doesn’t seem to have any problems from the outside.
There were offices up to the third floor, and above that, there was a space that looked like an officetel.

-Mercy Guild Office.

Mercy Guild.
A medium-sized guild with about 300 guild members.
A guild under Daesung that has a solid track record.

However, when looking at various information, a mysterious disappearance accident occurred in 90% of the dungeons they subjugated.
And that wasn’t all.
I thought it had nothing to do with Shin Seo-ah, but it was a case where all of her core officials who were currently on the side of Shin Seo-ah and helped her inside Daeseong were all affiliated with the Mercy Guild and then promoted.
In addition, it was also estimated to be the location of one of the five gates pointed out in Odin’s prophecy.

Several clues point to this building.

To the point where I feel like if it’s not here, I’m nowhere.

The guild has the highest reputation in the neighborhood because it also does a lot of volunteer work.
But what appears on the outside is not the real thing.

It will probably be ordinary without anything special on the ground.
Because in the first place, the real thing was not a building on the ground.

The basement of that building.
The real owner of this building existed in the basement.

As I approached the building, a security guard rushed over.

“What are you doing?”
“I came to meet the guild leader of the Mercy guild.”
“I’m sorry, but the guild leader is out of the office.”
“Then let me meet Bugilma.”
“The assistant guild leader is currently absent…”
“Do you have a manager? Or something like that.”
“Sorry. We are not accepting outside personnel. Because this is our private space, no one…”
“Do you think I came here for a good cause?”
“Yes?”

I took a step closer to the guard.

“Do some internal research. I came here for an investigation related to the Salvation Church in Gangneung.”
“What? What kind of cops are you guys?”
“I am not a cop. But since the incident is an incident, there is nothing I can do about it.”

When Choi Woo-suk presented the story of Salvationism and the end times, we presented the data we had collected to the Guild Association.
Upon seeing the material, the association was astonished.

Because the Salvation Church has permeated many guilds more deeply than I thought.

Less than a day later, the association announced.

– Capture and redeem the Salvationists by any means necessary. When the resistance is strong, it can also be killed.

An unconditional war against the Salvation Church.

As soon as I finished speaking, the swordsman handed out the documents.

“This is an investigation report that I received after formally requesting it from the association. If that side refuses, it’s a document that says guild wars and other armed conflicts are possible.”

The guard saw the official letter from the guild association and shouted while grinding his teeth.

“This is tyranny!”
“If you don’t like it, make a formal complaint to the Association. The official letter has already been dropped.”

The moment I take a step forward.

“Stop it now!”

At the same time as the guards shouted, a number of people came out of the building.
As if you were waiting in advance.

“Didn’t you try to hide it?”

Even if it were me, I would have hit the floor first.
If the opponent was Diana, the swordsman, and Lee Kang-san, he would never have been able to hide it.

As soon as they attacked, we reflexively drew our weapons.

A full-scale battle has begun in the middle of Gangnam.

“Prevent as much damage as possible to the citizens!”

The damage was not so much thanks to the citizens who were back in advance.

The fight was one-sided.

It wasn’t a match in the first place.
No matter how skilled the Mercy guild members are, they are hunters, but their opponents are the Saint Guild, the No.
Daesung’s satellite guild was not something they could stop.

“Turn it off…”

After the last Mercy guild member fell, I approached the guard who stopped me first.

“Tell me honestly. Who is in there now?”

Hypnosis.
It was the power of Han Mi-na who helped them easily infiltrate Gangneung.
What makes her different is that she has a limited number of people.
Now, even Kim Hyeon-jung has succumbed to me without hypnosis, so there are a total of 2 people left in my hypnosis slot.

It was not difficult to invest at least one person here.

“Tell me quickly.”
“Ugh… Inside, the school, the teacher…”
“If you are a religious leader, do you mean Shin Seo-ah?”
“That, that… That, that…”

The guard who was about to say something to my question grabbed his throat.

“Cuck!”

It was as if someone invisible had grabbed him by the throat.

Awesome!

There was no bird to dry.
The guard collapsed with his neck broken just like that.
It will probably be banned.
The prohibition imposed on them by the religious leaders.

“What was that just… ?”
“It was a simple investigative magic. But it seems that there is a ban on it.”
“Haha…”
“Let’s go inside. We have to catch them before they run away.”
“Okay.”

We quickly entered the building.

To find Shin Seo-ah, the religious leader.

“The space has been enlarged by magic.”
“To the point of expanding a building like this… I can’t do this either.”

Unlike the exterior of the old building, the interior was larger than any guild office.
It was perhaps the size of the World Cup Stadium.
Seeing this, Diana exclaimed.

“This is the headquarters of the Salvation Church… ?”
“What kind of magic are you using?”
“From now on, everyone is nervous. It won’t be easy.”

I have awakened vigilance in everyone.
This is the enemy’s base.
I defeated all the enemies that popped up, but I don’t know how many more there are yet.
There could be a monster, or something worse could be hiding.

But right away, nothing came out on the first floor and it was quiet.

“The search is divided into 3 teams. Perhaps the basement of this building is more dangerous than any dungeon, so only the elite will search it. For the rest of you, please investigate the offices and officetels on the ground level of the building.”

Team 1 was the elite guild members of the Twilight Guild, including the swordsman.
The search team 2 is the elite members of the Saint’s Guild, including Lee Kang-san, Diana, and Marcuson.
Lastly, the 3rd team consisted of me and the students receiving tutoring.
That included Chungha noona.
Geomseong said that it would be enough without Cheongha noona, so I sent her to the search team 3 to which I belonged.

“Then slowly investigate. We will continue to keep in touch with this.”

Diana pointed to the radio.
A walkie-talkie that she provided for her to keep in touch with even inside and outside the dungeon.
As long as it didn’t break, it was something that could continue to communicate with each other.

We headed underground from different directions.
As the leader of Team 3, I led the students.

The basement of the building was full of numerous traps.

It was a trap that was difficult for everyone to overlook.
On the 1st basement floor, there is a trap with exhaustion magic that prevents those who have not reached a certain level from standing.
On the second floor, there is a hallucination trap that shows hallucinations to passers-by.
On the 3rd floor, there are bamboo spear traps where the floor suddenly goes off and kills everyone who falls into the trap.
The physical, magical, and mental traps grew more and more as we descended underground.

To protect the students who came down with me, I pioneered all sorts of traps next to them.

“Sir, it’s dangerous!”

The traps that I couldn’t attack by myself were supported by Yuara’s telekinesis, Chae Seonhwa’s magic, and Seongju’s holy power.

And when I arrived at the 4th basement floor.

“I think this is it.”

Chungha noona approached and said.

“I feel it. That son of a bitch energy.”
“Are you talking about watchers?”
“Huh. This suit is responding.”

Chungha noona pointed to the suit she was wearing.

Born by the Watcher, the newly remodeled suit suddenly started to lag because of me.

“Are you sure. It’s in me.”

Chungha noona said in a voice full of confidence.
And that moment.

-Long time no see? No Is it after a month?

Shin Seo-ah’s voice was heard from beyond the door.

“Does time matter?”
– Well, it doesn’t matter. Between us is not it? Unlike the girls there, we were officially dating.

The power contained in the unique speech and voice that confuses people.
She was the one who led many people to the Salvation Church with her dazzling, doubting eloquence and power.

However, even the power of Shinseo Ah did not work on her disciples.

“It looks like it was said to agitate, but it doesn’t work.”

The blessings of the saints are flowing through them.
Shin Seo-ah’s power won’t be able to pierce that blessing.
Seong-ju Seong-ju is different from Shin Seo-ah, who has not yet been fully completed.

– Hmm? But it’s true. That I’m your ex-girlfriend.
“It doesn’t matter. You know It’s over between us.”

A lot of useless words.
I pulled out my saber.

“Do you know why I came?”

Shin Seo-ah, on the other side of the door, kept her silence.

“I’m here to kill you. So open the door.”

At the same time, a light surged through my body.

A purple color that makes the viewer feel ominous.

“Teacher, you have to get out of the spot!”
“Siwoo!”

Jo Seong-ju and Cheong-ha noona looked at me and shouted urgently.

“I know. What this is.”

It was Shinseoah’s forced teleportation magic.
The location the teleport is heading to is beyond the door in front of me right now.

Shin Seo-ah is now calling me to come over the door where she is.

“I know what the trick is.”

You don’t want to fight under the power of a saint, right?

“I will be back.”
“Teacher!!”
“There are ways. So wait here I’ll be back soon. And Jo Seong-ju, never take off your blessing.”

With those words, the world turned upside down.

“Nice to meet you. Darling.”

Shin Seo Ah’s voice was heard.
