The teleporter brought them to Korea’s Player association in an instant
“We've arriv—huh?!” He yelped in surprise
‘W-why are there so er the association he knew There were people at the entrance, sidewalk, and there were even people looking on from the rooftops across a four-lane road They were all here for one reason
“I-It’s Specter-nim!”
“Ohback!”
It was to see Specter
By the estiathered in front of the association
“”
Seo Jun-Ho felt touched as he looked at theather here for him
‘Thank you’
It was thatbecause he hadn’t expected it There was a big difference between hearing that people hadn’t forgotten hi it for himself
“Specter! Specter!”
“Specter! Specter!”
Their chants were so loud that they couldn’t be replicated by even the most expensive speakers It was to the point he felt the vibrations up to his bones which gave hie—We’re glad you’re back And thank you
“”
Even the large billboards connected to the buildings were playing videos from his past Seo Jun-Ho started to feel a bit shy and embarrassed; he lowered his head When he did, they started to cheer again
“You really are quite famous” Even the Frost Queen was in awe
“Specter-nim, ill escort you inside” The association Players flanked him Seo Jun-Ho looked back one last tiuys will see this too I’ll make sure of it’
He made a pro scene
“You’re here?”
When he entered the waiting roo for him Seo Jun-Ho took off his mask and flopped down on the sofa
“Is this your doing?”
“The people? Nah” shi+hed as if he found that ridiculous “The police esti Do you think I’?” Even if he was, it would be iather so many people in such a short time
“How about the billboards?”
“Ahem Well, that’s…” He must have influenced it a bit because he squared his shoulders proudly, but a h I’ve known you for so long, you have always been unpredictable”
A few hours ago, Seo Jun-Ho had sent hi for a press conference
“I’ to announce your cooperation with the association this tiht?”
“Yeah” Seo Jun-Ho nodded
“You told me before you went to Ro relationshi+p with the association so that we can build connections, rather than working under us” shi+ed my mind” Seo Jun-Ho closed his eyes and as if he re, he said, “Deok-Gu, do you re to me that day”
It had already been four months, but it still felt like yesterday
“You told me that the world is peaceful now That I don’t need to return because our sacrifice had saved the world That I should live for myself now”
“”
“But after four ht” Seo Jun-Ho concluded
At the very least, the fiends hadn’t been this bold 25 years ago when he had been active—it was impossible for them to be this brave back then
“Jun-Ho That’s because of the 5 Heroes But their effect is irreplaceable, and now…”
“I know The fiends I encountered at Paradise were treating er scared of him They hunted him like a trophy to be won
“Jun-Ho” shi+erous than the courage of soreed hat shi+s could end if those with no power sought justice “But I can’t just stand by any longer”
“Why are you so…”
“Paradise” Seo Jun-Ho said darkly “Do you knohy it was made? Haha—It was made to create the 2nd Specter”
“!” shi+m Deok-Gu was stunned speechless
“Isn’t it funny? They hated me so muchBut they sacrificed thousands of children to create a being similar to me”
“It’s not your fault”
“I know that But that doesn’t change the fact that it started because of onna take responsibility?” shi+ht that all I needed to do was to get a little stronger and save ed his h when the fiends are working around the clock”
The fiends fro bad, they would always remember Specter’s face
“Specter always shows up at the sinner’s door All fiends who meet him die”
Such a simple phrase had dissuaded crime, and Specter’s simple existence kept people safe
“But as you said, you can’t take on the same role as before”
“I know If it’s possible, I don’t want to do this either” If there was someone else to carry the burden, he wouldn’t need to do anything But no one could “The Nine Heavens and the RankersTheir levels and stats are higher thanforward”
Rather, no one could step forward There was no one as powerful or influential as Specter
“They know that the nail that sticks out gets ha time, Seo Jun-Ho realized that he was the only person who could do this “My skills h, but my influence is”
The moment he opened his mouth, thousands of Players would listen And he would ain before they committed a crime
“Only Specter can destroy the fiends like this, as he did in the past”
Seo Jun-Ho was a person A selfish person
‘Specter is a co if I retired and all that was left of me remained in history books’
But he refused to take such an easy path He would use his naain
“You have e” The Frost Queen applauded his bravery
