ULW78ONThe sound of the propeller rumbled through Seoul, immersed in silence. It was a helicopter urgently dispatched by a television network.oru
OkyckThe main television networks had their bases in Wonju, where the Joaquin Academy was located.6IKAS8v
fgJREDTherefore, they had no choice but to arrive late at the scene.Fv0Ykl
3qnZ0“…Wow.”PMw4
H2UN94fThe cameraman, who was focusing on Seoul with his lens, let out an exclamation.SQd8jt
GtTVC4ZThis was a true disaster. The level of destruction could rival any apocalyptic movie.1DI
jXNk9“Focus!”45DnD
dnRG8p“Ah, ah, sorry.”Snyxz2J
PWTLsdAt the reporter’s reprimand, the cameraman shook his head.hJ92tL
eyL9ztH“No matter how surprised you are, you can’t act like this during a live broadcast!”q1U94r
Fmgh7Z“Yes…”9wQkQ
EEC3XThe reporter’s attitude reflected professionalism. However, behind that façade, she was the most shaken when she saw the status window spread by Kali Yuga.rS7v
3g7aaBpShe only began to calm down when the status window, which had kept appearing before her retina, disappeared completely.GUmfF
xhZoFThe network wanted to cover this unprecedented phenomenon directly from the scene.BPykyXO
CT30NThat’s why they sent this reporter, who seemed to have recovered quickly, along with this cameraman, as special correspondents. They put them on a helicopter reserved for executives.Zs0bW
WjA“Good afternoon. This is reporter Kim from CCB.”h9BWRrU
WZjUC8The cameraman captured the reporter opening the broadcast, while he searched for another target with the lens.cLJ
TFFzaEHis professional instinct told him that the one responsible for this disaster was still nearby.ioL
xyLn“Huh?”Udggf
1DNY“For real! We’re live, for heaven’s—!”o5s2JPh
W3qkeh6“No, look! Look over there!”xHHjtn
qjDpd4XThe cameraman sharply turned the lens. Reporter Kim, visibly annoyed, reluctantly followed his gaze.YVsaQOb
Qa5Q“Huh?”lWYZ
4e7JaAn astonished exclamation.OkU
ezb2uPA large bridge connected the north and south of the city, crossing the river. The cloud of dust covering the bridge dissipated, revealing a figure.3Q7xHH
L2GdGs“Is that person…?”9oxEOEx
CCDnUThe reporter shouted loudly toward the helicopter cabin:ZQP
f2zd“Please, get closer to Yanghwa Bridge!”eLF
PRN1Drdrdrdr.YgqEC
UsvVvThe helicopter obeyed and veered.mpmA
T0AtdkDThe angle of tilt was so sharp that the center of gravity was at risk, but no one cared.4NIyst
j9RZsQvWhen they approached Yanghwa Bridge, the reporter held her breath.t5N
vrNkObA“Heavenly Sword.”KDo
dMYHe was there.7JMq
sJSThe cameraman, as if rehearsed, aimed the lens directly at Kang Geom-Ma.Zn39AbB
ZxQ0‘Huh?’Byp1rc
tMdRjRZAs he adjusted the optical zoom, he realized that, besides Geom-Ma, there was something else. It looked like a bluish piece of flesh completely turned to mush, unrecognizable.VLt3J
H5n3hThe only thing deducible was that it had been a living creature until recently.lE1a
75w64mIt was at that moment.Jo6QO
NWGeU=No…=wZrgEF
W8t6NmA chilling sensation ran through the folds of the brain. Not only did the cameraman feel it.ddP7
u5aUFkCAlso the reporter, the helicopter pilot… And all the citizens of Seoul, at the same time, were enveloped in an ominous gloom.pRo5h
1n2wlpGThe cameraman, with trembling hands, filmed Kang Geom-Ma and that thing.HQafT
bWTHolding back his fear as much as possible.HGQI
lAEIyk=I, I… can’t go like this…=1QZJ
fOxVThat being lamented.0Wk
kHCnQ=Oh, Power of Suppression… Is this too part of your will? Did my moment of arrogance offend your will? Then… this is unfair! Why is that other, being also an apostle, left free? Why do you favor him and not me? Why don’t you give me even a little space…?=e3Cbj
QdaO0fM“Enough.”E7es
orUKang Geom-Ma interrupted his monologue.O1SNYCd
TDJmsIz“All villains, when their time comes, can’t help but run their mouths.
Do they give classes on that with the Power of Suppression? Is there an academy for it? Is it affiliated with Joaquin Academy?”EuXg
jL79iQ=Ah, ah! Look at him! Every time he opens his mouth he spouts blasphemies! How can you allow that…?!=g0jYn
jOYLWpFKali Yuga couldn’t finish his sentence. Because he was bombarded by Daiso sashimis.gXlAYpF
HiB419The pilot instinctively tried to turn the helicopter, but the knives passed millimeters away, embedding themselves in the ground without touching the aircraft.HDb4C
4li4Cn=¡Aaaaaaaghhh!=2bCBbz
pVJa“Shut up. Just get lost already.”HSIjxv
2SNNIt was a horrible scene. But the reporting team in the helicopter felt a strange sense of relief.uocs2
xck4It was liberating.bCO
EMj2cGLKali Yuga had tried to dominate human minds through the Blessing of the Apocalypse M.Ehw4L
qJ8gYHwAnd the result was before their eyes. His plans were destroyed. He was being beaten down by Kang Geom-Ma.UIh
T2AEven the giant eye watching from the top of Seoul Tower blurred.AmR8
QTRUnknowingly, the mental chains binding the citizens broke.2zNF6rE
KrOMaybe those who had awakened magic felt some regret. But most were civilians who had been dragged into the events.9ZF9e
B5lTSF3They had finally been freed from an unprecedented confinement. They felt relieved.yvi
hkFokPAnd everyone knew perfectly who had returned that freedom to them—Kang Geom-Ma.T18xoIe
GoUBoW“Are you filming properly?”CMiRcyl
f7q9“Of course!”A5m
2UjzaEveryone could see it. The audience of the live program was rising at a dizzying pace.2HA4
avC8iMoreover, this was South Korea, leader in digital culture. And the holder of Heavenly Sword, symbol of the “Do You Know Club” movement.54Exb
JWhjtThe citizens were determined to spread these images across the world.Etlc
wEsOnce again, the one who marked the end of a global disaster was none other than Kang Geom-Ma.ptPag
Bonb“Huff…”YGjwn
r8Fdn27The reporter removed the microphone pressing against her chest. The broadcast was already ruined. Let happen what may.WrX
dljp2They would only ask her for a report. She already planned to protest with her superiors.SydxCE
EjTKAnyway.spxQN51
6wrThe reporter saw the sashimis bursting in front of Kang Geom-Ma. They were part of his distinctive technique, the fencing of the “Higher Self.”bhr
zVEVShe had suspected it, but now she confirmed it: without a doubt, it was Kang Geom-Ma.13D
yw6gUM=Oh, Power of Suppression! Have mercy on me!=QkTBEG
vJs“The end of the world, huh…”FYa7esS
0xEKamMWham wham!kIBMBls
P6nkQSS=Please, save me!=Wo5V8
eCA8md“How can someone be more pathetic than the corps commanders I defeated ten years ago?”FiqFS0V
DdDJWham wham!J66l
W6ZKx=¡Aaaaaaaghhh!=phPt
vUlvi“I don’t even need to go that far back. Even Ragnarok imposed at least three times more than you.”QMF
NG0Kali Yuga tried to crawl away. Kang Geom-Ma snapped his fingers.DYoRmW
IeCDwiAnd what followed was worth beholding. As if time had stopped, thousands of sashimis hung suspended in the air.sg8enq
LptwAnd everything was captured clearly on camera.weC2RkA
O52OWvKang Geom-Ma unsheathed Murasame and his EX-rank sashimi. Then, the ability of the latter was activated.9Y5rir

v35=Ah, ah…=FTW7
BjvVK“Where is that insect that won’t stop buzzing?”SjHmJDo
GugvQlOKang Geom-Ma lunged immediately. The sword dance that followed couldn’t even be captured by the camera.nlReX4p
TMz0UAn astonishing sword technique combined with an apocalyptic-type ultimate weapon. The substances that composed the end dispersed at a particle level. Like dandelion seeds.XxWb
7scN“Because of pests like you who keep interfering.”3Sp
0yItn1XThe price of mockery.OWD
zvclD5“People around me get hurt.”ktfo
WQ2h=Uaaaahhhh!=aOpq4j2
1UcUWTOr it could also be called a threat.sLB

7p0X“It’s a warning letter written with your blood.”FfivhV
zVjIn technical terms, his teabagging was excellent.Rft
oIX9sKang Geom-Ma was nowhere near being a hero with a strong sense of justice.EE2WN
7N9He often clashed with nobles and even heads of state, constantly threatening them. He was the type who created enemies on his own.iQK
620t0trAnd yet, people adored him. Not because of his violence.egDU
474tW“But because he is the Heavenly Sword.”XY2N
wIUfFhBecause, in the end, he stood on the side of humanity.A7jKO
wTpDUWhen public enemies appeared as now, Kang Geom-Ma showed no mercy.Qjo
j7YKang Geom-Ma granted no cheap mercy. If someone provoked him, he cut them down. That was how he was known.Its
IL6“Though lately he’s changed a little.”Xlnj9x
Fp9xnCommentators said that since he formed a family, he had become calmer. And it was true.tweY
21bUewLEven during the Parsy incident, Kang Geom-Ma faced Ragnarok with a somewhat intimidated attitude. The media workers who replayed the video noticed a strange sensation.vC9d
9B2fgSZThe reporter brought the microphone to her lips.xig
pJt“In terms of not causing conflicts, one could say he has matured compared to the past.”nz9
1QTum50Staring directly at the subcamera, she continued her report.gox
qaFMk“But still. We all know, don’t we? The violence of Heavenly Sword has always been a means to break social inequality. Because nobles and heroes, those bastards, don’t listen to words. That’s why punishment is necessary.”bVPZS
lC191The cameraman flinched. The basic rule of journalism is neutrality. Of course, each network could have its leaning.uAFs70v
zqM34uM“It has always been that way. Kang Geom-Ma, the Heavenly Sword, has always stood on the side of humanity.”Dc1FeJc
M1qRInIt was a statement full of subjectivity. Ignoring the cameraman’s gesture of denial, the reporter kept speaking.JZ2
FlvT“I can’t say it with certainty, but considering his trajectory until now, I don’t believe he’ll ever turn into an enemy.”3MWV
QJnSylc“……!”Nx6
FlJuThe cameraman jolted so hard the camera shook. It was because the reporter tore off the skin of her face. It was a magical disguise spell.3gi8vR
zFoCome to think of it, it hadn’t been noticeable while she was sitting, but had reporter Kim always been that tall?fX2RvFm
ylv4uJ“I…”ll5Dh
TAufFShe shook her head to wipe the sweat from her forehead.eNv
pheg1L“I dare to say it. The Heavenly Sword, Kang Geom-Ma, in the past, present, and future, will always be on your side. At least, under the premise that you’re not a threat to humanity.”C6qVd
PWjChoi Seol-Ah smiled brightly.0ASnmpd
eES“To the nobles, to the heads of state, and to all of you watching this—stop putting obstacles in the way of the Heavenly Sword. Have you ever dirtied your feet in a crisis like this?”nl0zrT
XbOJumThe sunset light over the Han River illuminated Choi Seol-Ah’s face.QBr
9ag7“You may want to deny the achievements of the Heavenly Sword, but it’s impossible. While you sat arguing, he was out there, wielding his sword and exterminating the enemy.”k94
Su6Her earrings sparkled.N9KJ
2gNRtSk“There are no shortcuts to glory. The path Kang Geom-Ma has walked proves it.”eCBGo6
w4xBy that moment, the heart-wrenching screams of Kali Yuga could no longer be heard.FaQSqT
PB2q“That was all.”0Fng
oXkcMHsChoi Seol-Ah threw the microphone. Bzzzzz, a buzz disturbed the listeners’ ears.P8G
YThDnkt“This was Choi Seol-Ah, the public service girl!”K1rFy2O
rnzqyAnd she jumped from the helicopter.l9TJUi
JdFWkiWith her arms spread like a cross, she fell against the resistance of the air.A4EQX
l7N3Nqc“Wheeeee!”Tmr4upB
NSU54She screamed with joy.fpOGE4
E5jqkya“Welcome back!”j0HTv
MyyxKang Geom-Ma lifted his head. He looked at her with puzzled eyes. Kali Yuga had vanished.D5PjO
jteMThe helicopter was backing away.YolY
MrtvThanks to that, the cameraman was able to capture the entire scene with a wide view.PiDtdhG
ZIJdoz“…Who the hell is she?”0iiIC

RDNtrew“Yoohoo!”66g2v
9JBHEThat overwhelming feeling.rmpz
fMHhj5P“I’m not good with feelings because I’m a villain!”jlkU
