Chapter 219 – Episode 219: The Final Battle (2)

“You’re leaving us behind?”

“Okay.”

All the students looked at me as if they couldn’t believe what I said.

Of course, they seemed to think they would go together.

However, as the opponent was Choi Woo-sung, taking them was risky in many ways.

Except for Chungha and Kim Hyun-jung, there was no one who could compete against Choi Woo-sung.

Moreover, attendance will be quite tight due to the match with Shin Seo-ah.

“You all have to graduate from the academy properly. Because of the suppression of the Salvation Church, we are unable to manage attendance.”

“But…”

“Wasn’t the reason you signed a tutoring contract with me to get better grades and aim higher?”

“Yes, but…”

I saw Chae Seon-hwa.

“Seonhwa, if you want to maintain your position as student council president and go to the association in the future, you have to show a completely flawless appearance.”

“…”

Everyone was silent except for those who had graduated.

“The same goes for Jeong Soo-ryun, Hyun-jeong, and Chung-ha.”

“Why… We don’t have to worry about attendance.”

“I know the inside of Daesung best.”

“I can fight well enough. “I can compete with my grandfather.”

I was silent for a moment in response to their rebuttal.

It’s not wrong.

It would be reassuring to have you next to me.

Because the graduates’ grades are certain.

Each of them has their own strengths, and if you take them with you, there will be many elements in which they can play an active part.

“The last time you went alone like this, you almost got hit by Shin Seo-ah.”

“The situation is a little different with her.”

However, unlike Shin Seo-ah, Choi Woo-sung also had great original strength.
He’s probably received Odin’s power by now.

Choi Woo-seong, who even received the power of Odin.

Can they really endure it?

No.

It’s impossible.

That’s why.

The reason I said I would leave them behind today.

“The opponent is Choi Woo-sung. You won’t be able to bear it.”

“…”

A look of disappointment was evident on everyone’s faces.

I’m sorry, but I can’t help it.

“So, trust and wait.”

I took a step closer to them.

Students shared their gaze among themselves.

Then he nodded.

“Hug me instead.”

Yuara said.

“Now? But then your physical strength…”

“Don’t do that, just hug me tight like this.”

Chungha’s older sister was held in my arms.

“Teacher pervert.”

Hyeri Lee smiled and hugged him together.

“You didn’t see us as horny perverts who wanted to be hugged by the teacher every day, right?”

“Wasn’t that what you wanted to do?”

When I responded to Mina Han’s words, she did not bother to deny it.

“Have a nice trip. You must come back safely.”

“Don’t forget to say hello when you come back.”

Chae Seon-hwa and Jeong Su-ryeon also hugged me.

“I will wait for you, master.”

Kim Hyun-jung followed and hugged me.

“I will give you the goddess’ blessing.”

Seongju Cho held me for the last time and blessed my body.

A message appeared saying that you had been blessed by the goddess.

It was then.

[You have earned the true respect of your students.]

-You can temporarily use some of the students’ abilities.

-Number of uses: 1

At that message, I felt something welling up in my heart without even realizing it.

It’s respect.

It seemed like they didn’t do much.

“Okay. “I’ll be back soon.”

I patted their heads and headed to the place I promised with Lee Kang-san.

***

“Are you ready?”

“Yes, I have prepared everything.”

“I’m nervous.”

When I arrived at the pre-arranged location, I saw Geomseong, Lee Kang-san, and Diana while preparing my saber.

The place where we gathered was a remote city located in the south of Seoul.

No, it was a city.

It was now a field where restoration work had just begun after dealing with all the monsters that had poured in since the gate was built.

The Sword Saint arrived with the first disciples, the most outstanding warriors in the twilight, and Lee Kang-san and Diana also brought the saint’s elite.

“Where has Marcusson gone?”

“We are protecting the students now.”

“I guess that would be better.”

It wasn’t a bad thing to be prepared for an emergency.

Because I don’t know what they’ll do.

“What about Hopan Guild and Cheongwol Guild?”

“It seems like they are trying to monitor the situation. “I don’t know about dealing with the cult, but it looks like I want to avoid confronting Daeseong.”

If there is a full-scale fight against Daeseong, they will suffer considerable damage, so the two guilds will not want to make unnecessary sacrifices.

“So, in effect, it means that we will have to fight only among ourselves.”

“Daesung also has no intention of going into a direct confrontation. “There is no justification for them to start a fight.”

“They are probably looking for an opportunity too.”

Lee Kang-san looked at me and said.

That opportunity.

That meant they were targeting me.

With Shin Seo-ah’s plan revealed, it was confirmed that it was me they were targeting.

Yes.

At least it was like that among us.

Others won’t know.

This is the purpose of the Salvation Church.

Even if I tell you, you won’t believe me.

God will descend using the human body.

Does that make sense?

Even if I tell you, will I be able to get your cooperation?

Well.

It will be difficult.

So it was a problem we had to solve.

“I still think I should have convinced them.”

Geomseong said.

“You won’t believe it. Even if they believe it, what solution can they come up with?”

It would be possible to split Daesung.

It would be possible to break the company into small guilds and weaken Choi Woo-sung’s social power.

But what is Choi Woo-sung’s power?

What is his power?

At least it was something other guilds couldn’t do.

“There’s nothing we can gain if we handle it on our own, right?”

“Of course there is.”

I continued speaking while looking at Geomseong and Lee Kang-san.

“You will be able to rightfully absorb what was separated from Daesung.”

“Is it possible?”

“Sure. First, there is the Sword Saint, right? And the Saint Guild will help you. Plus…”

I continued speaking with just one index finger extended.

“Who can disobey the words of Korea’s strongest hunter who defeated Choi Woo-sung?”

The strongest.

The symbolism of it was a name that no one could ignore.

In a world where guilds still have power and are full of dungeons and gates where monsters pop out.

It was said that power could soon become law.

So Daesung will not plan a way to consume more of his power than necessary.

If we win, we will prepare.

“Okay. “It’s an adventure, but having a hundred more people around isn’t going to help.”

Geomseong nodded as if he understood.

“But is there a reason it’s here?”

“If you fight in the city, you’ll get criticized even if you win.”

I intentionally leaked information that I was here.

If it’s Choi Woo-sung, he will come even if he knows that it was an intentional trap.

It would be even more so if you received the power of Odin.

I know because I have received the power of Helios.

The blood you feel when you receive even a little bit of God’s power.

Confidence that you can do anything.

He was probably intoxicated with that power now and believed that he could accomplish anything.

So by now…

“You’re here.”

The swordsman spoke at the sight felt from afar.

I was feeling it too.

A rapidly approaching destructive force.

Similar to Shin Seo-ah, but with stronger strength.

Lee Kang-san and Diana bit their lips.

“It won’t be easy.”

Geomseong laughed at Lee Kang-san’s words.

“When was it ever easy? “Hehe.”

After giving the final touches to his sword, the swordsman stood up.

“It’s been a while. “It reminds me of the time in the past when I received the title of third term and fought for the position of the strongest player in Korea.”

“Did you win?”

“No. So, I have to avenge that time.”

I could feel the spirit of victory in his voice.

That was the same for me too.

Woosung Choi was the strongest hunter in Korea and one of the best hunters in the world.

He was someone I could never look down on.

And I even gained the power of a god.

Maybe it’s similar to Master America, who is said to be the world’s strongest.

“Whoa…”

By the time I calmed down.

Tuk.

Choi Woo-sung has arrived.

“As expected, everyone was gathered here.”

He looked much younger than when I saw him on TV in the past.

“Hehe, did you at least go back to the old country? “You suddenly became younger.”

Seeing him like that, Geomseong asked as if surprised.

“We reached a similar level. Sooner or later, you will see a higher level.”

After he finished speaking, he looked at me.

“Thanks to you, Shin Seo-ah is in good hands.”

“If you commit a crime, you must be punished.”

“Hehe, it seems like you’re talking about me?”

“How many people were sacrificed to gain that power?”

I asked, feeling the power of Odin burning in Choi Woo-sung’s body.

Shin Seo-ah sacrificed hundreds of people in the church to give me that power.

The power of thought was so powerful that I almost succumbed to that enormous power.

The same goes for Choi Woo-sung.

More people’s lives would have been sacrificed to gain that god’s power.

“Did you sit down and count the number of monsters you killed?”

It was disgusting.

That guy who shamelessly shows his face even after doing such a thing.

Choi Woo-sung thinks it doesn’t matter what he does to others for his own desires.

All the rotten thoughts of him and all those in the Salvation Church.

“Thank you.”

“What?”

“Now that I know what kind of person you are, I can fight to my heart’s content.”

Choi Woo-sung’s face was distorted.

“Khahahahaha!!!!”

The sound of mad laughter.

“What a funny and arrogant thing to say! I hope you have the skills to keep those words.”

“I will fight better than a guy who owes his strength to a one-eyed god.”

Did he realize who that one-eyed god was?

The guy’s face was distorted differently.

“How dare you insult God?”

I had a hunch that maybe that facial expression wasn’t made by Woosung Choi.

A force that took my breath away came to me.

But I don’t back down.

It won’t happen.

Since I came here, I have to see the end.

“He’s not my god anyway, right?”

I drew my sword.

“Okay. Not your god. But you will soon realize it. “Who have you made your enemy?”

Choi Woo-sung also drew his sword.

And that moment.

The surrounding air has changed.
