Chapter 359 (1/2)

I showed surprise at the sight of the people in front of me and Yoo Seonyeong smiled.

[Do you remember who they are?]

“I remember. Aren’t these guys dead?”

[Where do you think this place is? Nothing in the Underworld can die without my permission.]

The moment she spoke, all four corps commanders looked at me with cold eyes. The pressure emanating from their bodies wasn’t light. From left to right were 1st army corps commander, Reaper; 2nd army corps commander, Balak; 3rd army corps commander, Cerberus; and 4th army corps commander, Ajucus.

Cerberus, the commander of the 3rd army corps, was the only one with an animal appearance. It was also the gatekeeper who guarded the entrance to the Underworld, located in the Labyrinth of Souls where I once visited to meet Atlas. I once again felt a chilling sensation and turned to the 4th army corps commander, Ajucus.

The moment I saw him, I felt a cold sweat flowing down my back. I confronted him, who was the oldest commander, and almost died. The surprising thing was that Ajucus’ true body was the Immortal Knight once summoned by that French madman. He only had one-tenth of his power when summoned. Now he was able to use all his power, so Ajucus was naturally strong.

I honestly thought it was pure luck that I beat him. If Ajucus hadn’t been reminded that it was training, then it wouldn’t be strange if my body was sliced straight away.

[Stop.]

Then a chilly death-like energy that seemed to crush my throat came from beside me. The owner of the strength was my wife, Yoo Seonyeong. I flinched and shrank back. I had been scared when she became angry even when she was alive. Now I felt even more scared.

“I’m... sorry.”

“Please show mercy!”

“Yip!”

“......”

All four corps commanders knelt at my wife’s feet. I started to see my wife differently. Sure enough, this was the dignity of Pluto, god of darkness and death. I thought I had a terrifying person as my wife.

[You clearly told me that you will acknowledge this man. You pledged to follow him sincerely. Wasn’t that what you said?]

A terrifying energy emanated behind Yoo Seonyeong. I was so surprised that I couldn’t even breathe. The immense energy of death seemed to grab onto my ankles and prevented me from running away. It was a very chilling feeling.

[Forgive me...]

[I will obey! Spare us!]

[Yip! Yiip!]

[......]

It was only when the corps commanders looked docile that Yoo Seonyeong retrieved her strength, giving them a cold stare as she did so. Only then could I take a slow, deep breath. The startled Yoo Seonyeong couldn’t put a hand on my shoulder.

[Ah, sorry. I forgot you were next to me.]

“Have you made any progress in training?”

“I have completed all the other Flying Kick Techniques, but haven’t learned the stars and moon ones.”

“Yes, it can’t be helped. You never know what will happen, but there might be a day when it will be helpful if you learn it.”

“That’s right.”

“Right, take this. It is the last Flying Kick Technique I left behind. Please read it on the way back to the human world.”

“Back to the human world...?”

I was naturally curious about Alexus’ final Flying Kick Technique, but I was even more surprised that I had to return to the human world. I turned my head to look at Yoo Seonyeong. Then she nodded with a serious face.

[In fact, there is something I haven’t told you.]

At the capital of the Atlan Kingdom, Metheus...

Rankers from all over the world saw the demons coming endlessly from the city walls and gulped. The world coalition forces were centered around Mido, the princess of the Atlan Kingdom. The rankers were in the front row and among them were Park Muyeol, Leslie, and various unique NPCs.

There were Michael and the executives of the Zeus Guild. Zhen Sulong and the Martial Arts Guild stood with dignity. There were also many allies of Atlan behind them. They were a mixture of users and NPCs. There were also representatives from various countries who were active in the World Competition.

The only thing in their minds was that they wanted to live. No one wanted to be killed here.

“There is no end to them,” Park Muyeol muttered in the cold breeze as he looked at the endless demons in the distance.

“Yes. There are too many.”

Surprisingly, his grandson Park Seongchan was by his side. Park Seongchan said he couldn’t leave his grandfather alone, so he entered the capsule despite the situation. At first, Park Muyeol was angry and asked why his grandson connected. However, it couldn’t be helped since it had already happened.

“Sigh. I really wish you hadn’t come in. If you die, how can I look at your father and mother in the Underworld?”

Park Muyeol gave a deep sigh like he had given up.

Park Seongchan slowly opened his mouth while looking at the approaching army, “Grandfather, you’re my family too. Mom and Dad died. Do I have to send Grandfather off like this as well? For me, you are my mother and father. Do you want me to be comfortable alone while you’re in this situation? I can’t do that.”

“Seongchan...”

Park Muyeol forcibly endured the emotions in his chest and suppressed them. There were some tears in his eyes, but he coughed deliberately in order to not show it. Seongchan smiled and turned his gaze to the woman wearing a red cloak.

“......”

Mido didn’t know about Park Seongchan’s gaze. She was ignoring her trembling heart and pretending to be okay. She had grasped the size of the demonic army through Arkstagram, but it was on a different level when seeing it directly. It was like a swarm of ants approaching the prey in an orderly manner.

‘Why are there so many?’
