Return To Level Up

“Wow, what about this?”

Hwang Soo-young asked, looking around her with a tired expression.

She might be surprised at least once, but Ji-hye Kim answered while maintaining her calm expression.

“You have to choose between the two. Either fight them, or go back into the dungeon.”

It was a huge number of monsters that met the Guardians from the dungeon.

The only ones who would do this were the ones I saw in the dungeon earlier.

The Defenders did this.

It must have been that he had even dragged the monsters from quite a distance away.

Besides, what he had done to the monsters, he was much more violent and stronger than the other monsters in the past.

To some extent, the monster that couldn't jump over the wall was almost as strong as the monster that jumped over the wall.

A monster that jumped over a wall once was more like a monster that jumped twice.

There were plenty of such monsters.

So, no matter how strong the Guardians were, it was really difficult to deal with these monsters.

Hwang Soo-young looked at Kim Ji-hye with her eyes shining.

“So, what do you want to do, Mr. Kim Ji-hye?”

Kim Ji-hye confirmed her fierce fighting spirit from the depths of Hwang Soo-young's eyes. She had a small smile on her lips.

“Even if you don’t answer, I’ll understand.”

Hwang Soo-young grinned and she looked around the rest of the people. All of them had the same expression and eyes as Kim Ji-hye.

"good. Let's fight to the point of dying once. It must be fun, I think I can level up a lot.”

Hwang Soo-young fixed her spear in her hand and ran straight ahead.

She was followed by the rest of the Guardians.

Then, a fierce battle began with a huge explosion.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

* * *

After wandering through the labyrinth for a long time, Jason and his crew finally arrived at the center of the labyrinth.

Information about this labyrinth was obtained in advance.

It's because I contacted some of Marbas's minions and checked the information they had.

However, the information they had was not 100% accurate.

Since each person has different information, a lot of errors occurred when they were stitched together.

So I had to wander a bit.

“How did you get there anyway?”

“Isn’t it too different from information? To be honest, you didn't find any traps or monsters."

Jason grinned at Spencer's grumbling.

“From now on, we have to negotiate on that part.”

"Negotiation?"

“There is no reason for Marbas to set up traps. That part, we will take care of the construction.”

Spencer looked at Jason with puzzled eyes.

“Do you think that would be possible?”

“What else can’t be done? With a little help from Marvas, it is possible.”

Spencer bit her mouth. To be honest, unlike them, he had never met demons or demon kings properly, so he had nothing to say when talking about it.

So she turned around.

“By the way, why doesn’t it say Marbas or what? Are you here, right?”

Spancer grunted and looked around her.

But there was no room for Marvas anywhere.

"wait. Because this labyrinth itself is like preparation for breaking through a dimension.”

“I’m sorry, why didn’t you come again? Wouldn't it be easier to break through with him?"

Instead of answering, Jason smiled bitterly.

If Ash had been there, it would have been much easier for Marvass to break through the passageway through this way.

But Ash is out of control. It would have been better to spend some time and wait.

“Isn’t it difficult for a strong man to come here?”

As Spencer grumbled, Jason and William grin at the same time.

“It would be even better if you came.”

Then Spancer bit her mouth with a shy expression.

In the meantime, I've been pushed by Ash's presence, but they were both very strong.

Even if ten Awakeners of the same skill as Spencer attack at the same time, they will never win.

Spencer also became incredibly strong after becoming a member of their family, but it was still the same.

“What… something like that. If Ha-jin Kang appears here, it's just a dead life. Then you'd better come. I can clean it up.”

“I don’t know if it will get better, but it will be much more comfortable.”

"okay? Do you really think so?”

Everyone was startled by the sudden voice and looked at the direction the sound was coming from.

Ha-jin Kang stood on the only road that could enter the center of this place.

And behind Kang Ha-jin stood a woman who was indescribably beautiful.

For a moment, Jason and William's reason flew away slightly, and they stared blankly.

Spencer was even worse.

"Wow. Where else is that beauty from? That guy has a lot of women around him. That's really envious. That girl was my first favorite. I will never give up on this.”

Jason and William looked at Spencer with pitiful eyes.

“Don’t just look at your appearance, look at your essence. Does that woman look like a normal person?”

Upon hearing this, Spencer looked closely at her Gaia. But she eventually tilted her head.

“Not usually. There is no one in the world who is so pretty. But what is it? Do I not deserve a woman like that?”

“Whoa. do what you like stupid bastard.”

Jason dismissed it that way. But Spencer was delighted with the answer.

"Thanks. I will never forget this grace. Are you really looking forward to this?”

Spanther glanced at her Gaia with a sinister look.

Kang Ha-jin looked at them and smiled. And she took a step forward.

Whoa!

A tremendous presence overtook them.

The three men's faces hardened at once. This was more than a shame.

No, even Ash wouldn't be able to create such a presence.

“What is your identity?”

Jason asked Ha-jin Kang with her bewildered eyes.

If Ha-jin Kang possesses the strength of this presence, they will never be able to defeat Ha-jin strong.

William and Jason looked briefly at each other.

In that brief moment, the operation was over.

The two decided to abandon Spencer. I was thinking of slicing off the spanner and running away from here.

Of course not right now. Implementing that plan was only after confirming that Ha-jin Kang over there really had the power of that presence.

“Looking at you all the way here, it seems that you haven’t met Ash.”

“Ah? Ah, are you talking about Jennifer?”

At Ha-jin Kang's words, the two's expressions darkened. Knowing that means meeting Ash.

“Yes, Jennifer. Are you dead?”

Hajin Kang nodded his head indifferently.

"perfectly."

It was completely dead. It was scattered and destroyed without leaving any powder behind.

Seeing this, Jason and William decided to implement the plan.

Kang Ha-jin was in a state of being quite inside from the only exit to get out of this space.

There was only one delicate woman blocking the way.

'that's enough.'

The two made eye contact with Spencer.

It was meant to attack at the same time.

The three of them took the time they had promised in advance.

'One, two, three!'

All three ran at the same time.

However, it was only Spanther who attacked Ha-jin Kang.

blah blah!

While Ha-jin Kang lightly blocked the attack of Spencer, Jason and William passed Ha-jin Kang and ran straight to the exit.

It was great speed.

The two attacked Gaia almost at the same time. No, that's what I was trying to do.

Tung!

Unless it collided with an invisible membrane and was not rolled backwards.

The two were rolling on the floor in anti-elasticity, but for a moment they did not understand what was happening.

“It still doesn’t deviate even an inch from expectations.”

Gaia said calmly in that beautiful voice. She looked down at Jason and William with contempt.

The two looked up blankly at Gaia.

Then he slowly turned his head to look at the side where Spencer and Ha-jin Kang were.

Spencer was no longer there.

It was completely destroyed in that brief moment. Hajin Kang's presence was real.

There was a feeling of despair in the eyes of both of them. Still, I had a question about the beautiful woman in front of me.

who the hell is that person

Meanwhile, Ha-jin Kang stood between the two of them and Gaia.

“It’s surprising.”

"What?"

“They don’t know you.”

“Of course I don't know. This is my first time meeting them. Well, I watched it for a while in the past. I couldn’t keep up because I didn’t have enough energy.”

The two people's eyes widened as they listened to the conversation between Ha-jin Kang and Gaia.

“Is it possible… dimensional will?”

At Jason's words, Hajin Kang looked at Gaia.

“Sometimes it’s called that in other worlds.”

Anyway, it was definitely something different from God.

“How can the dimensional will remain? Dimensional will is intact like that, but an invasion was possible? Only to Marbas?”

Gaia's face turned slightly red at those words. And she explained to Kang Ha-jin in a whisper.

“It’s because I’m too weak.”

She was understandable. Gaia was ruined once and then she rose again.

Even then, she used a lot of strength, and since then, she has worked hard to rebuild the world, so how weak she must have been.

Gaia smiled softly and looked at Ha-jin Kang.

“I’m glad I don’t have to worry anymore.”

Hajin Kang listened to Gaia and walked in front of her.

And she stood before Jason and William.

The two intuited their fate and cried out urgently.

“You have nothing to gain by killing us! If you spare me, I'll give you information about Marvas! You need it too! If we leave it like this, the earth will not be able to withstand it!

Hajin Kang calmly raised her fist. A lightning bolt struck his fist.

Fragile!

It wasn't just a lightning bolt, it was a lightning bolt with a tremendous impact.

The two men's faces turned pale when they saw it.

"I do not need."

Whoops!

The two of them perished with a single ray of lightning.

Kang Ha-jin's back words permeated into the debris scattered in the air.

“I know it all.”

* * *

When he came out of the labyrinth with Gaia, the Baekho, who had cleared the mountain range, approached and rubbed Ha-jin Kang's cheek.

Baek-ho instinctively noticed how strong Ha-jin had become, so he took care of it.

Hajin Kang, holding such Baekho lightly, headed towards the dungeon entrance.

When I left the dungeon, I saw the Guardians and Hwang Soo-young lying all over the place.

Those who found Ha-jin Kang stood up one by one.

All around them were corpses of monsters.

Hajin Kang took a quick glance and found that everyone had raised their level tremendously. I saw a few people just before crossing the wall.

“Are you done?”

Hwang Soo-young approached and asked. When she saw Gaia standing next to Ha-jin Kang, her body stiffened in surprise.

“What is it? Who is this woman?”

Hwang Soo-young was surprised once by the existence of Gaia and twice by her beauty.

It was the same for Hwang Soo-young as well as all the other Guardians here.

“I am a colleague who will be with you for a while.”

Gaia smiled brightly at Kang Ha-jin's introduction and approached Hwang Soo-young.

"Nice to meet you. I like it even more when I see it in person.”

Hwang Soo-young was greatly embarrassed by Gaia's words.

“I don’t like me, do I?”

Of course, she only spoke like that, but in reality, I was embarrassed by her familiarity.

As if Gaia understood everything, she hugged Hwang Soo-young lightly.

“What, what is it? Let this go! let go?”

Of course, Hwang Soo-young did not shove or push her Gaia. She just said she floundered.

“It’s like the person I chose.”

Hwang Soo-young stiffened at those words. And with a look of disbelief she looked at Gaia blankly.

Hajin Kang intervened in the strange atmosphere.

“Now, let’s go back. It’s a break for the time being.”

Everyone was startled by those words and looked at Ha-jin Kang.

“Isn’t this dungeon closed?”

“It doesn’t close. The passage has been blocked from use for the time being.”

“Are you blocked?”

When everyone looked at them with surprised eyes, Ha-jin Kang glanced at Gaia.

It was the result of the combination of Gaia's knowledge and Kang Ha-jin's power that prevented the passage from appearing in Marbas's labyrinth.

Hajin Kang glanced around her noisy crowd and spoke.

“Instead, we will prepare and go on an expedition.”

“Won……Is it Jeong?”

Kang Ha-jin chuckled.

“It’s an expedition to the demon realm. It starts in a month, so if you are thinking about it, you can work hard to raise your level.

Everyone couldn't come to their senses and looked at Ha Ji-jin blankly.

Hajin Kang continued speaking with a more serious expression.

“Let’s break in this time.”

* * *

Countless people gathered in front of the huge structure.

Today was the day I left for the twelfth demon realm conquest.

The members of the Guardians' Guild, who were in front of the demon realm, were looking at the Guardian's master, Ha-jin Kang, who was in the midst of an interview.

No, to be precise, he was looking at the reporter who was interviewing Kang Ha-jin.

The reporter interviewing Ha-jin Kang was a person who gained immense popularity with her overwhelming beauty.

However, there were only a few people within the Guardian who knew her true identity.

Because she was Gaia from the dungeon of Marbas with Hajin Kang.

Gaia's beauty, with her goddess-like appearance, was overwhelming enough to blow her personal taste to the galaxy.

Hwang Soo-young, who joined the demon realm conquest team with difficulty this time, looked at Gaia with a vague expression on her face.

She honestly didn't know that Gaia would fit in so well.

She was so human that at times I thought she was really her god.

Of course, there were only a few subjects that Gaia revealed her human side to.

It was because there were only Hwang Soo-young and Kang Ha-jin, and the Guardians Guild members I met as soon as I came out of Marbas' dungeon at the time.

If I had to add a little more, it was about Yoon Kyung-min.

“By the way, the world has changed a lot.”(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

Kim Ji-hye and Lee Ji-young, who had barely joined this time because they were too busy like her to hear Hwang Soo-young's murmuring, sneakily approached and nodded their heads.

"Iknow, right. It seems like yesterday that he died and came back to life in the first expedition, but it’s already the twelfth.”

In the first demonic expedition, Ha-jin Kang annihilated Marbas.

But that didn't end it all.

The Demon Realm was vast and did not simply span one dimension.

After that, everyone trained to the point of dying and went on an expedition to the demon realm.

A structure called the Guardians Gate was installed where Marbas' dungeon was.

It was a dimensional shift device that would enable the demonic expedition.

Of course, the underlying technology came from Gaia.

Currently, there are three cities in Japan.

One was the first established Guardian's base city, and the second was the central city where the Guardian's Gate was located.

The other one was a united city created by the rest of the world except for the Guardians.

Of course, the largest and most developed city among them was, of course, the central city.

Because this was the only way to go to the Demon World Expedition.

Japan was still a great hunting ground, and now it is the only place that can supply raw materials for the dungeon-related industry that has dominated the world.

Marbas's demon realm and the drilled hole were not simply a passageway to the demon realm, but a hole drilled in a dimension.

Naturally, it became a place to aim for in a different dimension.

So, because dungeons and monsters were infested, this place became an excellent hunting ground.

Guardians completely absorbed the existing Defenders and reborn.

The Guardians are now the center of the world.

And Hajin Kang, the master of the Guardians, became the king of the world.

Ha-jin Kang got what Jason wanted so naturally as he saved the world.

Ha-jin Kang, who just finished the interview, approached the party.

And Gaia was following after Kang Ha-jin. She did not dare to abandon the name Gaira.

Still, no one doubted her identity or thought it was strange.

That was the power and presence of the dimensional will.

She joined naturally and had a pleasant conversation with everyone.

Hajin Kang watched it from a distance.

It was a really good thing that I didn't receive Gaia's power. It was something that not only Hajin Kang but Gaia acknowledged.

Perhaps the world would have been more unstable if it had been received.

Because the difference between having dimensional will and not having it was significant.

‘Anyway, everything worked out.’

With that thought in mind, Hajin Kang looked at the Guardians Gate.

This expedition will be a turning point in the Demon World expedition.

The opponent we're going to attack this time is the Demon King who conquered Renok and Jason's dimension Neusnemid.

Hajin Kang looked around the crowd, feeling the powerful source of power that swayed his body according to the god of wind.

Feeling the atmosphere changed, the guild members looked at Ha-jin Kang with a little nervousness.

Kang Ha-jin made eye contact with all the guild members once with a trusting gaze.

She felt a rush of warmth that she had never felt before.

Ha-jin Kang accepted that feeling pleasantly.

A lot has really changed. They, themselves, and this Earth.

Gaia suddenly approached Kang Ha-jin and whispered in her ear.

"Come back safely."

Hwang Soo-young, seeing this, clenched her fists with blazing eyes.

Kang Ha-jin looked at the two of them, and she smiled. Then she turned her gaze and looked at Ji-hye Kim and Ji-young Lee who were nearby.

A lot has changed, but nothing has changed.

She thought that Ha-jin Kang wished she would always be the way she is now, and she moved her steps to the Guardians Gate.

After that, the twelfth demon realm expedition followed.

A great momentum was brewing.

Many people and cameras captured their images in their eyes and lenses. The whole world was watching this scene.

Before Kang Ha-jin entered the gate, he looked around carefully at all the sights.

And quietly entered the gate.
