Now that I've confirmed my squad's safety. It's not a bad idea to leave them here for some time while they recuperate. I'm worried about my father, placing Mina by his side was for his safety, but I'm not sure about the outcome of her battle with that creature. I need more information and time is running short.

That Outworlder...

As I think about my next move, I throw a glance at "Rapheal". I don't sense evil intentions from him and since he took care of my squad, I don't plan to antagonize him. In addition, the future hero seems to be under him...

All the more not to disrupt the flow of events here.

I walk to my squad members. "Guys, stay here for the time being and recover. I will return to Lorain and check on the situation. Moreover, that creature might still be roaming."

My members nod.

"Wait a moment," Rapheal says. "Why don't you stay the night? Since you've come this far."

What is the Outworlder doing?

"You wouldn't want anything to happen to your friends, right?" Rapheal's voice suddenly emits in my head.

!!!

How did he do that? And this bastard is threatening me with my subordinates' life?

...

On the outside, nothing changes. However, my gaze shoots killing intent at Rapheal. Yet, he suppresses it with his aura pressure.

Not telling your real name? Fine.

I recognise his name, the Namgung clan!! One of the top powerhouses in his world.

And he is in a realm I've never seen before!

My subordinates notice something wrong.

"Sir? Mister Rapheal?" Issac says.

"Alright, I will stay for one night. I'm beat," I reply and walk into the cabin.

Hajin shows a pleasant smile. "Great, we have more than enough rooms."

No words. I simply enter the cabin. My subordinates exchange looks of confusion.

Later that night, Hajin uses the same power and calls me to the peak of the mountain behind the cabin.

Awaiting beneath the moonlight are Rapheal and his wine jar. He takes a huge gulp of wine and turns around.

"Did the Demonic Divine Cult send you?" Hajin says.

"What the fuck are you talking about?"

He stares at me eye to eye. "So we are doing this the hard way."

He vanishes and slashes from behind.

!!!

I barely leap forward to avoid it and block his second strike.

I don't sense killing intent, he plans to subjugate me.

Tch.

My injuries...

One glance and I can tell there's no way I can win, but I won't just take a beating.

I release all of my aura and unleash every attribute from my blade.
