[Warning. The army of Abundance reveals itself.]
Hugo and Guisun both were startled at the sight.
Perhaps about fifty.
Because monsters appeared across the river.
Moreover, they were all familiar faces.
‘That’s definitely what I saw when we went looking for Sophie…!’
But that was what made it so flustering.
‘How are they there!’
Indeed.
Beyond the Han River, visible now.
The place where Abundance’s army appeared was precisely Singungjwa’s new sanctuary.
[Singungjwa 2nd Sanctuary]
-Hangang Park (Diameter 2km)
And until now, Man was Singungjwa’s sanctuary, but now it was different.
Perhaps the influence of becoming Igeon’s subordinate.
As their own levels rose, they could expand their territory.
So they had newly designated the 2nd sanctuary.
But now, the place where the enemies appeared was exactly that new sanctuary!
Flustered, Hugo hastily drew his bow.
“Damn! How did monsters invade the sanctuary?”
A sanctuary is so-called the house of the Holy God.
The Holy God’s sanctuary was far stronger than the domes made by the subordinate gods.
No monster could appear intact there.
So Hugo was flustered, but Igeon beside him clicked his tongue as if pitying him.
“That’s why I told you to leave that sanctuary to me. The stubborn subordinate insisted for nothing.”
“Get lost?!”
Indeed.
Singungjwa was Igeon’s subordinate.
As the head divine constellation, Igeon could manage all sanctuaries of Singungjwa.
But Hugo flatly refused.
Having his own room taken was enough already, he thought.
So he said.
“What on earth is the Holy God doing for monsters to appear in the sanctuary…!”
[The Lord of Burning Passion is deeply distressed]
[He is in no state to manage the sanctuary]
[He suggests handing over the sanctuary’s authority to Baemjuin]
“This damn god…!”
In the end, Hugo, his veins bulging, created a powerful arrow.
Because the bird monsters in the sky were about to use a suspicious power toward the city.
[Life desired by Abundance ]
He didn’t know its identity, but it was an extremely ominous energy.
It seemed they couldn’t let them use that.
So, even if there was some damage, he hastily activated his Eojeon skill.
Bang!
A powerful solar arrow flew toward the sky across the river.
Boom!!!
The red arrow, shot like a laser, exploded on the neck of a flying monster.
Ka-boom!!
But that moment.
“Kyaaack!”
“……!!”
The monster didn’t die easily. Its body was intact.
And Hugo’s face turned pale.
‘This is absurd. Even the Eojeon skill doesn’t work…?!’
Last time during the invasion, it had at least left a burn scar!
As Hugo panicked, Igeon clicked his tongue and said.
“Stop wasting time and just use my power aggressively. You can’t do it anyway.”
At that, Hugo’s pride was deeply wounded and he flared up, but soon followed Igeon’s words.
Because first, they had to lure those guys this way so Igeon could run wild too.
And as Hugo gathered magic power, a surging green light rose!
At the same time, an arrow tinged with red and green flew across the river.
Simultaneously, a massive explosion spread across the sky!
Ka-boom!!!
“Heoeok!”
In the fierce wind, Seogigwan grabbed a street lamp.
Kugugung!
Finally, the bird monster in the sky, which was like an iron fortress, burst apart without a sound along with the explosion.
And with that, debris of monsters falling to the riverbank!
At the tremendous destructive power, Seogigwan’s mouth dropped open as if his jaw would fall off, and Igeon smirked contentedly.
“See? One shot.”
“…Ugh, damn!”
Hugo trembled at the power beyond imagination but was also angered.
It was because of Igeon’s mockery.
“Saw that? So stop being stubborn, take my power, and hand over all your new sanctuaries.”
“No way?”
“Why do you hate using my power so much?”
“Why! Because I don’t want to sell even my soul to you!”
Hugo frowned and pulled the bowstring.
Well, he said that, but honestly, it wasn’t because of pride.
‘How much magic power do you think a Saint-level takes away?’
Because system-wise, the Holy God was bound to be overloaded.
He’d already taken Virgo and Aquarius as subordinates; he couldn’t drain magic power from himself too.
In fact, wasn’t it Igeon who collapsed from overload while fighting the Giant Crab Constellation last time?
He couldn’t stand to see that again.
‘Well, if I bring experience points to Igeon and level him up, it might work…’
Because naturally, as the Holy God grows, he can lead more troops.
Anyway, if he, who isn’t even at 100% faith, sends experience, wouldn’t he take more magic power in return?
And as if reading that worry.
When Seogigwan, annoyed, was about to tell Hugo the truth.
Flash!
[Condition achieved]
[A new Bible page is created in Baemjuinjwa]
Startled by the sudden voice, Guisun opened his scribe’s notebook.
At the same time, seeing the contents, Seogigwan’s face turned as pale as if he’d seen a ghost.
It couldn’t be helped.
[Page of ]
Then Seogigwan clutched his head and screamed.
“Nooo!!!”
Aside from Cheon Seongjae and Cheon Yuha, Hugo’s page had newly appeared.
So Seogigwan had no choice but to fall into a mental breakdown.
Because this was impossible.
‘Without the scribe’s blood flowing, a page can’t be created!!’
But it had appeared.
That is.
‘C-Could it be that if faith is high, pages are added like this?’
Seogigwan plopped down.
Because Baemjuinjwa, due to its entry requirements, basically all members are fanatics.
Then in the worst case.
‘Pages for all followers could appear.’
And for example, if 1,000 followers come in, Bible pages…
The pale Seogigwan screamed.
It wasn’t simply a matter of numbers.
Fanatics, by their nature, you never know what will be written on the Bible pages.
‘Then I’d have to edit all 1,000 people’s pages...’
Moreover, the scribe’s Bible ability comes with tremendous pain.
Seogigwan’s mind was about to fly away.
Was that why?
‘Let’s burn it.’
It was enough to hide the fact that a new Bible page had appeared.
‘We can just pretend it never existed!’
But just then.
“That new page. Organize it well?”
“?!!”
At Igeon’s voice, Seogigwan froze.
But regardless, Igeon instantly disappeared.
Ka-boom!
And where Igeon appeared was right on a monster corpse floating on the river!
Stepping on the corpse, Igeon used the monster as a stepping stone to jump into the sky.
Thump!
Of course, if Seongjae, who can teleport, were here, it would have been simpler, but it didn’t matter.
Thud!
The jumping Igeon landed on the back of a flying monster.
At that sight, the bird monsters clustered in the sky swarmed.
The riders on the monster’s back flared with anger.
[Where do you belong?!]
They seemed to think Igeon was a monster from the same unknown civilization.
Of course, that had to be.
After blocking the eyes of the divine realm, their subordinate gods had been tailing him madly, so he was annoyed and moved around hiding his power.
Maybe that’s why.
Monsters that don’t distinguish human faces well didn’t seem to recognize him.
Perhaps.
[By your abilities, you don’t seem human. You too seem to be one who was with that scribe under the general’s command.]
[Are you not thinking of dealing with Singungjwa’s saint and daring to obstruct the general’s mission!]
“The general’s mission?”
[Yes, the order is to retrieve the corpse of the dead Baemjuin.]
[But it’s good. Where did you hide the body of Baemjuin that you dealt with?]
[Speak quickly. We must report to the general who went to Baemjuin’s sanctuary.]
“Baemjuin’s corpse?”
As soon as the words fell, Igeon’s black eyes flashed red.
Along with that, the power of Baemjuinjwa suddenly surged!
Kugugung!
Finally, with a sound striking heaven and earth, green and black light surged, and the faces of the riders turned pale.
Igeon raised the corners of his mouth.
“That. Are you looking for me now?”
[……!!!?]
With that ferocious gaze, screams echoed through the sky.
***
Meanwhile, around that time.
[Still no contact?]
Igeon’s 2nd sanctuary. Hawaii.
On the sea where the island could be seen clearly, the Abundance general furrowed his brow.
With a goat head, he had chased Kevin and Kali all the way here.
Because the Virgo subordinate gods had moved them to Igeon’s sanctuary.
Since Igeon’s sanctuary basically exhibits ultra-regeneration properties, it might have been a natural measure to heal Kevin.
And though they knew their location, the general did not move from the sea.
The reason was simple.
‘The power is tremendous.’
It was only a tiny booger of an island, with a tiny booger of a divine constellation.
But the green power enveloping the island was beyond imagination.
And that regenerative power that restores everything, and the power that makes one fall into ecstasy just by looking at it.
‘For a young Holy God, he’s quite something.’
Truly, it was worth having their eyes on for a long time, decades.
‘Still, he’s our master’s.’
Well, whatever.
[Contact has come!]
Three pigeons flew over the general’s head.
And those pigeons spoke.
[It is said that Baemjuin’s scribe used the Bible to deal with Baemjuin!]
[So they say you can go in without worry!]
[Good. Well done. Moreover, I hear there’s a weapon made by Baemjuin inside.]
[That’s right. It’s a weapon that killed even a Holy God.]
At that, the half-beast smiled and immediately used a suspicious authority.
[]
Simultaneously, the general’s appearance transformed into an ordinary pigeon like his subordinates.
And after erasing the monster smell, the general instantly infiltrated Baemjuinjwa’s sanctuary.
Thud!
The barrier of the sanctuary did not recognize the general’s intrusion.
So in truth, they could have invaded the sanctuary without waiting.
But still, the reason he waited until the end for his subordinate’s contact was one.
‘We don’t have Baemjuin’s data.’
They had already stolen the data of other Holy Gods.
So this time too, they could send their subordinates into Singungjwa’s sanctuary.
And as long as they had that, Singungjwa’s attacks wouldn’t work on his subordinates.
But since Baemjuin was not, they had to deal with it definitively so that Baemjuin could not appear.
Besides.
‘He’s the one who killed a Holy God, so caution isn’t a bad thing.’
Thus, the general quickly entered the center of Baemjuin’s sanctuary.
His subordinate laughed.
[As expected, the sanctuary’s traps are not activating.]
[It’s certain that Baemjuin has been secured.]
It was when they had come halfway through the sanctuary like that.
[Found them! They are Virgo’s servants!]
“!!”
The Virgo subordinate gods, spotting the flying birds, were horrified and drew their swords.
[Young Baem’s sanctuary has been breached!]
[What?! Block them!]
But as if it was too late, the moment they unleashed their killing intent.
[All who set foot in Baemjuin’s sanctuary shall face divine punishment... Ah, damn, you dare invade our uncle’s land? Just die!]
A flash burst forth.
It was a trap.
