“I beg your pardon?”

– [Excalibur: Despair (???)] was obtained.

Shin Eunah, convinced the situation was over, embraced him. In fact, he had roughly expected this, so she allowed his to hug him.

– Kii!

The administrator provided a brief explanation as Kang Shin-hyuk turned her gaze upwards to the person who had slain Oh Joo-young, Shin Eunah. She was floating above the gate as if he had been there from the start. Kang Shinhyuk had her spatial coordination skill, yet she hadn’t sensed his arriving at all.

“She must’ve escaped the limits of a human-like Oh Joo-young.”

Shin Eunah’s lightning flashed out. karate began to pour out of her, forming a sharp spear of lightning that shot towards the gate without hesitation. Kang Shin-hyuk decided to help her, drinking a potion quickly and then grasping the gate with her expanded spiritual power. Then, she cut the connection between it and this place.

“No, but I can zone it.”

his eyes drifted over the gate that remained in the air.

“You, you… how? No, still outside…”

“The situation outside is over.”

Shin Eunah spoke calmly and then released his karate again. Bomber Girl tried to alter his karate power with his trait, but he could not dare to invade the power of the Master of Mana. The next moment, he was cut in half, just like Oh Joo-young.

Kang Shin-hyuk tried to understand Shin Eunah after seeing her friends were safe. he had thrown herself into the gate right away. There was no way he could’ve been calm when Jormungand was opening a gate to their home base. Maybe that was why he had ended Oh Joo-young in a single strike, or perhaps it was because he was worried about him.

The administrator’s message flew by.

[Kiiiii?!]

I guess it’s not a position acquirable just by accumulating points.

– Of course. Being a VIP member means you’re in a position to lead other members and orchestrate worlds.

Kang Shin-hyuk looked up. Didn’t even the great Anvil barely become a VIP by completing the gun-knife at the end of her life? He didn’t become one from the HP she had obtained, but because of that. And then…

“… This isn’t the main body.”

“Woah, it’s over somehow.”

“That helps.”

-Kwaaaaang!

“Huh, what is it? So, was I fighting the same alter ego?”

Bridget Poulsen was shocked to realize that. As if to appease her shock, he flew towards Shin Eunah.

“Are you here to help me? After all, our love is now… ah.”

“Junior.”

“I’m fine, I’m fine, so there’s no need to check.”

“I’m glad you’re safe…!”

However, Shin Eunah ignored his and moved straight to Kang Shin-hyuk’s side. This time, she could detect it with her ability.

-I hate to admit it, but I think she’s done it.

Bridget, who realized what she was doing, began to dance on the spot. Kang Shin-hyuk felt energy concentrating on the bullet with his movements, increasing it even further.

-With a colleague that challenges the realm of the transcendent, you have subdued one that is harmful to the order of things! Bonus based on membership level! You received 155,000,000HP! As a VIP bonus, you received an additional amount of HP equivalent to 50% of the reward, for a total of 232,500,000HP!

Bomber girl, who had been fighting with Bridget, immediately flinched away.

“It was a good thing I arrived.”

“Can you close it?”

“What, huh…?”

he was standing over her half-burnt body, his head turning slowly towards Bomber girl.

It’s not that difficult with my spiritual power at SSS+ rank.’

“An alter ego created with magical power. he wasn’t that strong before…”

It was a fact she knew well enough; the feeling of his soul’s influence on the world was unforgettable. she drew Phoibos and activated Light Mastery simultaneously, using the power of light to create a bullet. Its power that pursued and destroyed evil would surely affect the gate! In addition to that…

“Give me that orb again.”

“Oh, wasn’t it a gift for our relationship?”

“Where did you get that idea?”

Kang Shin-hyuk grabbed the pitch-black gun-knife falling from the air with a blank expression. Oh Joo-young, with the body of a monster, boasted powerful energy that even Kang Shin-hyuk, with her stats raised to the limit, couldn’t dare to tackle without the aid of various orbs. Yet, she was slain with a single lightning strike.

-Oops, treasure predators!

“Ooh…? Don’t shoot for a second; I’ll help!”

-This might be enough to close the gate!

The expedition to Africa was just beginning.

Kang Shin-hyuk let out a sigh of relief. she was worried for a bit there, but with Shin Eunah’s appearance, the situation had ended surprisingly easily. she thought about what it would’ve been like if he hadn’t come to help, but there was no point in worrying about it.

she concentrated the power of Bomber Girl (alter ego) that could alter karate into the bullet.

‘Now!’

With no time to hesitate, she fired the bullet of light at the gate.

-Bang!

The gate collapsed as the bullet of light, containing the power to destroy the darkness and change magic, penetrated it. At the same time, Shin Eunah struck it with a massive bolt of lightning.

“Break!”

-Kii!

-It’s very annoying, but from this moment on, she’s a VIP member of the Hero Universe.

Unlike the superhumans, who had maintained a relatively bright mood, the mercenaries were barely crawling out of their despair. However, that was normal. They had been suddenly kidnapped by an irregular gate, and both their allies and their guild master had tried to kill them.

Eventually, the lightning broke through to kill it.

“Since he opened the gate with this power, it should be possible to close it…!”

“I thought it was a space monster.”

The HP that came in as a reward was considerable, especially given she had shared half of it with Shin Eunah, who was looking rather surprised.

-If you remember this sensation now, it will help your growth.

“Is the situation outside really over?”

With Kang Shin-hyuk’s proficiency with her space coordination skill, she couldn’t prevent it from doing so.

“What?!”

Kang Shin-hyuk calmed down Shin Eunah, who was trying to hug him.

Kang Shin-hyuk heard the sound of the gate breaking, but she also sensed something rushing out of it. she fired off ten threads with all of her spiritual power in an instant

Shin Eunah concentrated his infinite magical power on one point, striking at the enemy. It kept twisting its body and tried to use its spatial ability, but it wasn’t possible without interrupting Kang Shin-hyuk’s threads, which were imbued with SSS+ rank spiritual power.

-It wasn’t just a single lightning strike. It was lightning that was pushed to the limit.

“Ha…”

“We’re finished…”

Kang Shin-hyuk looked at the caterpillar the size of three people, thinking it looked simply disgusting, as Shin Eunah clenched his jaw and struck it with lightning

“VIP bonus, amazing…!”

“Now, we’ll be leaving the gate right away.”

The administrator was blatantly displeased. Kang Shin-hyuk tried to ignore her message, but suddenly, the space around them began to shake.

Shin Eunah mumbled as he suddenly realized something. It soon turned out he was right, as Bomber Girl’s body melted and vanished in the air.

But it was possible. From the start, his dance had two abilities: buff and attack. There was a reason he became a top ranker.

“Junior!”

“Yes, yes. I think I’m lucky to be so fine, senior.”

Perhaps because of the gate being broken, only one of the monsters jumped out. It would have been a frightening monster that had reached the current limit, but thanks to Kang Shin-hyuk’s Soul Connector tying him tightly, it couldn’t show off that strength.

“Can’t you hug me too?”

This is Africa (6)

“Yes. It’s not all over, but the most scandalous ones have been taken care of. By the way…”

‘What is this? How is this possible? The energy isn’t even magical power!

“Ohhhhh.”

her friends were also relieved, running towards Kang Shin-hyuk. When Shin Eunah noticed, he hesitantly retreated and let them hug each other.

“…Doing okay now?”

Only

“A little bit more.”

-Cheh.

-Kiji?!

‘Yes, I’m sure he has his reasons.’

It was too cruel for him to ignore her, given how she had been thinking about her safety. Kang Shin-hyuk reached out and hugged her, gently patting his back. It was like he was her young daughter or granddaughter.

“Ah…”

Shin Eunah buried his face in her arms. Bridget tilted his head and put his finger up to his lips but refrained from saying anything. Shortly thereafter, the gate was destroyed, and the mercenaries were able to escape with few sacrifices.

However, the moment it was about to be hit by lightning, it twisted the space around it to deflect the attack.
