“Mister. “What’s wrong with your eyes?”
Lily looked at the bruise on the man’s face with a curious expression.
It was definitely not there last night, but when I woke up in the morning, one of his eyes was bruised like a panda bear.
The great man gently rubbed his blue bruised eyes with an egg.
I felt like I was in a very low mood.
“…you do not have to know.”
At that time, Lily clapped as if she knew what it was.
“ah! It’s in disguise! right?”
“no it’s not? hey! Do not touch! “It hurts!”
The great man sighed, swatting away the little devil’s finger poking at the bruise.
“Tsk. I thought the last attack would work….”
For three days, Daein practiced the martial arts of Geomwangbirok by sparring with Baek Changsu and receiving beatings under the pretense of sparring.
Yesterday was the last day.
Daein attempted the attack of conversion that he had been waiting for.
It was an attack I made with the determination to give my dog a proper meal before going on vacation.
The attack on conversion failed and the price was painful.
Because Noontaeng was beaten until he became Bamtaengi.
“How on earth did that man come into existence as a monster?…”
While Daein was rubbing his bruises with an egg and muttering, Baek Young-hee knocked and came into the room.
“manager. “Are you all ready?”
The great man nodded and said.
“What about Youngshin?
“I’m waiting below.”
After a while, Daein and Lily each took their bags and went down the elevator.
Youngshin Jang was waiting in the lobby of the building, and familiar faces were there to see them off.
Wang Guho. Sirutdeok.
Team 7 leaders.
And….
“Hahaha! Team Leader Lim! Today is finally the day to go on vacation! “Did you sleep well?”
Daein grinned and looked disapprovingly at Baek Changsu, who had a huge smile on his face.
“…Thanks to the CEO, I slept so soundly that I almost fainted.”
Baek Chang-su hits Daein’s back! He knocked and laughed heartily. Daein was truly hurt.
“I feel good that it’s all thanks to me! Have a nice trip! Achieve all your goals! “Don’t go anywhere and get beaten up!”
The great man sighed and nodded.
“Thanks to you, I don’t think I’ll get hit while on vacation.”
Three days of special training.
Although it was a short period of time, Daein achieved some results.
Our senses have become more sensitive, and our skills have become sharper than before.
The great man briefly greeted the people who came to see him off, one by one.
“Wang Guho.”
“Yes…”
Wang Guhao had a sullen expression.
Wang Guho, who did not receive vacation time with the two, seemed already worried about being left alone on the team.
Daein tapped Wang Guho on the shoulder.
“When I’m not around, you are the captain of Team 7. do well.”
Wang Guhao looked at the great man with an anxious face.
“Can I do it well?…”
While Daein and Lily were away, Team 7 was scheduled to play the role of supporting other teams in the guild.
At that moment, Daein frowned and said.
“If you win, all 7 teams will win. “If the team is making noises when I come back… then you can take care of it?”
“…Four four!”
The great man nodded in satisfaction at the sight of Wang Gu-ho’s spirit full of spirit.
What Wang Guho lacks is confidence.
With that alone, Wang Guho was already one of the top five tankers in the city.
The great man turned his head and looked at Sirutdeok.
“You watch closely to see if Wang Guho behaves like a bully.”
“yep! older brother!”
Sirutdeok’s scary appearance will be able to properly filter out those who try to catch Wangguho.
Daein turned his head and greeted the leaders of Team 7.
“everyone. “Please take care of the children who are missing while I’m away.”
Cheon Il-nam, Cheon I-nam, and Cheon Seol-ah nodded at the same time.
“I will do my best.”
“Please bring us a gift when you come.”
“Don’t get hurt.”
Finally, Daein looked back at Baek Younghee next to him.
Baek Young-hee was looking at Daein with eyes full of expectation.
“Younghee.”
“…yes. manager.”
She shyly closed her eyes as she approached the great man.
The great man said with an expression of bewilderment.
“Why are you closing your eyes all of a sudden?”
Baek Young-hee narrowed her eyes and said. His face was full of mischief.
“…Didn’t you mean to kiss me goodbye? “Now is the perfect time.”
Baek Young-hee stuck out her lips and narrowed the distance more actively today.
“Ego. Side~”
coo.
The great man said, pushing away Baek Young-hee’s lips with his palm.
“You film the movie alone. Please take care of everything I ask.”
Baek Younghee pouted her lips and grumbled.
“I just pamper myself every day. Instead, you should buy me the most expensive gift.”
“I don’t know how many presents I’m going to buy.”
Daein let out a small sigh and then turned to everyone and said.
“Anyway, I’ll go.”
On either side of Daein, Lily and Jang Youngshin also bowed their heads.
“I will be back!”
“…I’ll be back.”
And the three of them turned around and went on vacation.
Baek Young-hee looked at their figures getting smaller and smaller with a pensive face.
Baek Chang-soo stood next to his daughter and asked.
“My daughter. “Why are you looking like that?”
“…I’m just anxious.”
The reason I played mischievous pranks before Daein left was to shake off my strangely anxious feelings.
“It’s like I’m someone I’ll never see again… I guess it’s pointless to worry, right?”
The father said, wrapping his arms around his anxious daughter’s shoulders.
“There is nothing to worry about. Team leader Lim. “He is a much stronger man than you think.”
Baek Chang-su spoke as he touched his own neck with the hand that was not covering his daughter’s shoulder.
“Especially…”
Thinking back to the last sparring that took place this morning, Baek Chang-soo felt a chill below his neck.
“…That last sword was really dangerous.”
The three-day sparring also provided great inspiration to Baek Chang-soo.
It felt like I had found a clue that could break down a wall that had been blocked for a long time.
“Thanks to you, I think this dad can become stronger too.”
Baek Young-hee asked with a surprised face.
“really?”
Baek Chang-soo smiled and nodded. My whole body was already itching.
“When Team Leader Lim comes back from vacation, I’ll really have to stick with him. Until then, this dad is also a special trainee!”
It was a story that, if people heard it, would seriously consider returning to Earth.

Daein’s group crossed the restricted area and arrived at the place where they had previously set up their tent.
The tent was torn down and only traces remained.
Instead, the iron golem that had been moved in advance stood there, proud of its massive appearance.
“You’ve done quite a bit of remodeling, right?”
Jang Young-shin nodded with a proud expression in response to Daein’s question.
“…I added everything you needed, like what you said.”
The iron golem, which was 1.5 times larger than before, had a huge metal box as big as its body attached to its back.
At first glance, it looked like a giant ninja turtle with a huge shell.
“…This thing can also transform.”
When Jang Young-shin took the remote control out of his pocket and operated the button,
the golem and the metal box on its back changed shape together.
Clap, clank, clank.
Drurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
A moment later, a steel carriage and a huge iron horse pulling the carriage stood there.
Lily shouted, her eyes wide.
“Machine!”
Jang Young-shin shyly avoided the girl’s gaze and scratched his head.
“…It’s no big deal. “The golem transformation was originally there, but I changed it a little bit…”
The great man looked at the genius kid with an expression of bewilderment.
“…You are just as deceitful as the little boy.”
I asked for various things to make the trip more pleasant, but I had no idea that he would go this far.
Jang Young-shin, whose face turned red at the compliment, said.
“…Shall I show you other transformations?”
The great man shook his head.
“We’ll see about that later. A carriage is enough for now.”
The great man who stepped forward concentrated his consciousness and read the flow of mana around him.
An interdimensional fixed gate that will connect here in about a year.
The exact location where the gate connecting the Gaia continent and Earth opens is…
“…here.”
The great man found a place where the flow of mana was artificially distorted and drew a line at the spot.
After completing the formation, I stood in the center and took out the soul stone.
The great man whetted his appetite as he looked at the soul stone, which still had half of its mana remaining.
“It’s too expensive for travel expenses, but…”
When I put pressure on the hand holding the soul stone, the soul stone began to crack.
Damn it!
“You have to pull out that much mulberry and come back.”
The great man who broke the soul stone quickly escaped from the formation.
The enormous mana that came out after losing the vessel flew in all directions.
-Puhwaaaaaaaaaaa!
The law of mana is that if you lose the vessel, it scatters into nature.
However, at that moment, the formation set up by Daein bound the mana within a certain space to prevent it from dispersing.
Due to the repulsion, mana began to swirl within the narrow space.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
A tremendous storm of magical power swirled within the formation.
The great man stood back with the children and watched.
“The passage is still connected. But the door is closed so I can’t go in. The door normally opens only after some time, but…”
Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwa!
A storm of concentrated magical energy continued to knock on the door again and again.
The powerful magic contained in the soul stone forcibly grabbed the closed doorknob and twisted it.
In the end,
it’s a joke -.
The great man laughed as he watched a crack opening in the air.
“If you keep knocking, the door will open for a moment.”
Jjiiiiiiig-!
The crack tore wide and soon turned into a black hole.
Crackling, crackling!
The gate that was forcibly opened swayed incompletely.
It continued to change shape little by little, creating an ominous feeling.
“Ugh…”
Lily trembled.
As if memories she had wanted to forget were coming back to her, the girl crouched down and looked beyond the gate with frightened eyes.
“I don’t want to…”
The moment Lily was about to sit down on the floor, Daein hugged Lily’s waist and put her on his side.
And he spoke in the same voice as usual.
“let’s go.”
The voice was so reassuring that Lily unconsciously sighed in relief.
“…huh.”
The three people rode in a carriage and crossed the gate.
As soon as they crossed the gate, what they saw was a village on fire.
*
*
*
“Search everything and find it!”
At the shout of the bandit leader, a band of more than a hundred bandits devastated the village.
The bandits were ruthless. They searched the house thoroughly, pulling out people hiding in the house and destroying all household items.
“Please save me!”
“Don’t hurt the child!”
The thieves mercilessly stabbed the villagers with swords if they did not listen to their orders, and set fire to them if they did not like them.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Fires were burning throughout the village and the smell of blood was everywhere.
There was a vigilante group protecting the village, but they were all torn apart by a battle ogre that the bandits had tamed.
Jeokjeokjeok.
In the middle of the village square, a battle ogre was enjoying a dinner.
The bandit leader asked, squeezing the hair of the village chief he had taken hostage.
“Speak softly. “Where did you hide it?”
The old village chief, whose face was covered in blood as if he had already suffered greatly, glared at the bandit leader with eyes full of hatred.
“Didn’t you say you didn’t know!”
At that moment, a cruel smile appeared on the bandit leader’s lips.
“If it keeps coming out like that, it’ll be troublesome.”
When the bandit leader gave a glance to his men, he threw one of the hostages that his men were holding to the battle ogre.
He was a relative of the village chief.
Crrrrr….
“Please save me! “Aaaah!”
The battle ogre found a new toy and tore the village chief’s relative from top to bottom.
Sigh!
“These bastards deserve heavenly punishment!!”
The village chief, who was tied to a wooden stake, struggled with his whole body and screamed.
The bandit leader said with a grin.
“Next are your children, then grandchildren. “If you want to save, you need to know something.”
Hawkin was hiding and watching the terrible scene unfolding in the village.
Hawkin muttered in a despairing voice.
“Is it all over?…”
I thought I had finally managed to hide myself, but this is what happened in the end.
“This is what happened anyway…”
Hawkin decided to step forward. Because I couldn’t let my benefactor, the village chief, die like that.
‘Let’s lure them out and take them out of the village.’
The gate opened in the air at the moment Hawkin made up his mind and appeared in front of the thieves.
“You guys! “I am…!”
Oooooh!
An ominous black gate opened in the sky and a huge carriage fell out of it.
Ugh!
It was a fairly large and heavy carriage. The moment it hit the ground, the ground around it shook.
Moreover, an iron horse three times larger than an ordinary horse was tied to the carriage.
Everyone looked at the unusual carriage and iron horse with wide eyes.
The bandit leader shouted to his men.
“What are they doing! “Investigation immediately!”
At that moment, the carriage door opened and a black-haired young man revealed his face.
The great man looked around the village and frowned.
“What a bad timing.”
It was then. Hawkin, who had run to the carriage with all his might, knelt down in front of the carriage.
“Please help!”
The great man answered with a sour expression.
“why me?”
“I will thank you!”
“…how much?”
I thought I’d give it a try first.
