Going out (2)
My whole body throbs.
Beep-
At the same time, tinnitus rang in my ears.
Suddenly, after receiving a strong shock, my head started buzzing and I felt dizzy.
-Kahaha! For a free world!
-Aaaah—!
-Seonghyun! escape…!
-no!
Memories from the past that I had buried so deeply bounced around like fragments, stimulating my brain.
‘What the fuck is this!’
But even for a moment.
My body, which had been numb from being swept away by the explosion, recovered in an instant, and my shaken mind became clear.
Memories that had been surfacing sporadically sank below the surface again.
In the blink of an eye, the body shakes off all shock and returns to perfect condition.
It was the result of overwhelming status, “super recovery,” and constant reinforcement, which is the additional effect of “object projection.”
‘Whoa, some crazy person is at the hospital…!’
But my personal safety wasn’t the only issue right now.
Grinding my teeth, I lifted my body from the corner of the garden in front of the hospital and hurriedly checked the condition of my two grandchildren in my arms.
‘Fortunately, there doesn’t seem to be any major problems.’
A fleeting moment when I grasped the flow of energy.
I immediately grasped the situation and moved.
While applying the power of the protective magic tool that he always wore to protect his body as widely as possible, he physically embraced the two people in his arms, protecting them from the direct aftermath.
Thanks to this, there didn’t seem to be any major problems for either of them, aside from being thrown from the hospital entrance to the garden.
Although I was unable to overcome the sudden shock and fainted.
‘No, Taesan may be okay, but Grandma is still in danger. I’ve just been discharged from the hospital, so if anything goes wrong…’
I reacted reflexively to the urgent situation at the time, but I wasn’t sure if it was the best.
Maybe there was a better way.
And above all…
“Ugh, it hurts… Please help me…”
“Ahh! Ahhh-!”
“It’s terrorism! Quick, quick! “Run away quickly!”
In that moment.
The surrounding area was in chaos.
Those groaning in pain and citizens in confusion.
Although it was quite far from the center of terrorism, the explosion containing supernatural powers had a wider impact than expected and caused many victims.
It’s like this outside, so what happened to those who were close to him?
“I have to report to the city first… Why is this happening?!”
“My phone doesn’t even work!”
“Once we get out of here, we’ll come back again…!”
Among those who were not seriously injured, there were some brave people who quickly took out their smartphones and tried to report the situation, but they all panicked and began to panic.
And I could see why they reacted that way.
‘He planned to explode from the beginning.’
It was no ordinary explosion.
Some of it was harmful because it contained hostile magic, but it also contained some kind of wavelength that neutralized electronic devices.
Like the electromagnetic pulse (EMP) emitted when a nuclear bomb explodes.
‘…This is a hospital full of sensitive medical devices!’
Gritting my teeth, I tried to calm down as much as possible and helped the two people out of the room.
First of all, the most important thing to me was the safety of these two.
But that didn’t mean it was okay for others to do anything.
‘How dare you in my territory.’
How many people were killed in that one attack just now?
Even if it were not a direct explosion, those who depended on medical equipment to survive would be on the verge of death by now.
Also, although it wasn’t as loud as the first attack, it seemed like a battle had begun with the awakened person in charge of hospital security as I heard the small bursts of drinking continue.
For some reason, it didn’t seem like it would last long.
‘First of all, let’s definitely get the situation under control. Hans… no. Because of that energy, it would be like checking and killing the sick. Then, Heinz II….’
I knew that the world was like this originally.
Even if Hahoetal Hans and Phantom Heinz II adhere to the zero-tolerance principle, incinerate trash on a large scale and establish a shadowy order using the clan that swallowed up the underworld.
As long as the structure of the world itself does not change, this will continue to happen.
‘Dealing with him is no big deal. But…’
How should I deal with it?
Many thoughts passed through my mind in an instant.
“…….”
In the meantime, my gaze naturally turned to the unconscious grandmother.
As expected, it was difficult for his weakened body to withstand the shock, and his complexion was paler than when he was discharged.
“Whoa, okay.”
The moment I saw it, my complicated mind was cleared up.
I immediately turned around and entered a nearby commercial building where no one had already evacuated.
‘I was planning to treat my grandmother as quickly as possible anyway.’
There was no need to worry about CCTV or anything like that.
None of the electronic devices around here were in good condition.
I went straight to the store’s bathroom and made the two people sit in the appropriate stall.
And then he took a step back and—.
I used “object projection” without hesitation.
OK.
The body changes in an instant, like changing a filter.
My eye level has changed.
The energy in my body has changed.
The sense of perceiving the outside world has changed.
Something connecting my body and the world was twisted.
“Hmm.”
I turned my head and looked at the bathroom mirror.
The silver hair sticking out of the helmet scattered the surrounding light, and the golden eyes that seemed to have been made of gold sparkled beautifully.
The sturdy body swelled even further, transforming into the body of a warrior trained to the limit, and the solid body was wrapped in elegant pure white armor.
Saaaa—
A subtle aura that naturally spreads with him and surrounds the surroundings.
Clap—
I lifted my hand and pulled down the face shield of my helmet.
“Okay then…”
That’s how I became Saint Heinrich of the Main Order of Outerica.
***
The incident happened at a moment when no one expected it.
Sunny days.
A huge shock wave explodes in the lobby of a large hospital where people were going about their daily lives as usual.
Kwaaaaang—!
It turned the surroundings into chaos in an instant.
Spattering blood and miserable screams and moans.
The surprise attack with all its might inflicted fatal injuries on the unsuspecting awakeners, and the aftermath of the process drove the hospital area into chaos.
Crackling— crackling!
A subtle electric current sprang from the fingertips of the villain who caused the incident.
“Puh…puhuh. “It’s ugly… these pigs.”
The villain, a middle-aged man in his 50s who had defeated the guard who had been holding on tenaciously through several attacks following the first surprise attack, let out a chuckle with a distorted face.
He looked around the messed up lobby with unfocused eyes and twitched the corner of his mouth.
“I really like Rice Hospital… huh? Excellent! There’s also security for returnees. After all, it’s expensive… haha.”
A man stuttering and muttering like he’s lost his mind.
Of course, those guards were nothing more than mercenaries of a not very high standard, but that was not that important to him right now.
Because right now, resolving my own resentment came first.
“Well, I know… I’ve been there too. Our Se-yeon too… huh? “If only I had received treatment, I could have survived…”
The resentment over losing my child had been stagnant and rotting for a long time.
“I… I said I would bring money… It was so hard to wait for that…”
A stranger who was barred at the door because he had no money, lost his only family, wandered, and ended up in another world.
Afterwards, he was the one who returned after dreaming of twisted revenge and seeking only power.
“Okay. Dad will be there soon too, Se-yeon. “But can you wait a moment…?”
His eyes, which were muttering to himself, became increasingly clear.
With nothing left, the slayer with distorted beliefs twisted the corner of his mouth.
“Isn’t our Se-yeon bored? “Dad is going to bring a lot of friends.”
Crackling—!
The magical energy that had subsided for a moment boiled again, and the sparks that bounced gradually grew larger.
The technique used in the first attack.
However, since there was no need to cast it secretly anymore, it was completed faster and stronger than the first time.
“Uuuuuu… Save me…”
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
your whole body was completely destroyed. Those who were alive continued to squirm, but he did not even look at them.
Just lost in your own world.
“Okay, I think the rich pigs here will be enough. So…”
Finally, the rising energy reached its peak.
A deep madness flowed from the villain’s eyes as he smiled along with his daughter’s laughter that appeared in his head.
“…Die, you pigs.”
Kugugoogung!
At the same time, multiple bundles of energy explode around him.
Mixed with sparks, it spreads mercilessly as if it would engulf the entire building…
[“Lord. Please grant your grace to this land.”]
With a pious voice that seemed to echo from heaven.
Hua Aak —!
It was swept away by a wave of brilliant light that came from somewhere and disappeared.
So ridiculously vain.
“under?”
But the embarrassing situation did not end there.
“…Armor?”
When the wave of light passed by, there was an armored monster standing there.
The villain, who was nervous, began to cheer up again.
Saaa—
The enormous energy flowing from the armored person swallowed up the entire space in an instant.
Regardless of floor, wall, ceiling or air.
“Lord. “The power to bring a smile to the poor.”
The energy of immense purity, which I had never seen before, spread naturally to everyone in the area, including those who were about to lose their breath in the lobby, as well as the entire building and surrounding area.
It was an exercise of power too overwhelming to be considered carried out by one individual.
It was also so beautiful and amazing that just seeing it made me feel distant.
It was like a miracle performed by God himself when he came down to earth.
“…Divine power.”
The villain’s gaze, which had been looking around in a daze at the further situation, turned back to the armored monster.
He clearly exuded a warm and benevolent spirit, but when I met his gaze, I felt a sense of intimidation that felt like my lungs were going to collapse.
The villain who survived all kinds of crises in this world was able to instinctively realize this.
This is the difference in class.
That the being in front of me right now is a monster that I can never overcome.
“Yeah, you guys were there too.”
However, he forced out a word as if he was rebelling against the intimidation.
The corner of his mouth, which had been twisted and twitching, suddenly lowered and hardened, but he glared at the armored monster with anger rising as if it was burning him.
Of course, he did not seek help from clergy.
However, the supply was far short of the demand, and in the end, he had to turn around when his turn did not return no matter how long he waited.
“Puh… puhuh… yes. If there was such divine power back then…!”
“Shut up you criminal.”
However, the villain’s mouth, which had been making a lot of noise, was immediately shut with a solemn word like a heavenly judge.
Heinrich, the armor monster, had no intention of listening to him, no matter what his situation was.
As always, he just made decisions based on his own standards.
‘There’s no need to waste time.’
No matter what excuse you use, if you cause this much loss of life, you will be sentenced to death.
In addition, he seemed to have quite a bit of skill, but it wasn’t even close to the ultimate level.
He, the Paladin of Transcendence, is a small child who is not even worthy of drawing his sword.
Sigh—
But Heinrich did not mind the trouble of pulling out the holy sword.
Of course, rather than dealing with villains, it was simply to use the holy sword’s additional effect, amplification of divine power.
‘There is nothing we can do about those who are already dead, as long as they are alive….’ Unlike
the saint who specializes in healing and protection, there is nothing she can do to effectively use her power, which is focused on destroying evil and judging demons. It was better to use everything I had.
‘I also have 『Dimensional Barrier Relief』, so it might be useful.’
He had no interest in the guy who was already fidgeting in front of him with his bright red eyes wide open.
“Sinner, repent in the underworld.”
and.
That ‘fairly usable’ storm of divine power.
Whoa whoa!
It burned and enveloped the hospital and the surrounding area.
***
Korean Returnees Association Seoul Southern Branch.
“What! This!”
Kwadangtang—!
Branch manager Yoon Ji-yoon, who was leisurely sitting in a chair playing a mobile game, jumped up from his seat.
Because of the rough movement, the chair bounced and rolled around on the floor, but she didn’t care and closed her eyes on the spot.
“…Divine power? On Earth… this much divine power? “Is this possible?”
Then, with her spirits up again, she muttered absentmindedly in a shaky voice.
It is common knowledge that the power of divine power on Earth is decreasing.
But even taking that into account, does this amount of energy… how much power does it actually have?
“Ha ha ha… Saint? A saint? Or did she inherit the blood of some god?”
And she wasn’t the only one who had that reaction.
Not only the powerful and the clergy who are sensitive to divine power…
the Korean branch of the Pantheon, a world-religious union that had been obscure due to its various doctrines, began to move.
