I obtained a skill that was unheard of thanks to the assistance of the commander and Ho Jin.

The ability empowers my skills only against monsters.

This meant that I could not deal bonus damage to humans, such as the radical faction.

However, that wasn't much of a problem.

Right now, Korea.... No, the entire world was being invaded by monsters, something far more dire than humankind's greed.

After hearing about the demonic realm from Ho Jin, the commander was further confused.

There was no guarantee that this invasion would come to pass.

Ho Jin already said so, and he agreed.

However, a period of peace that lasted 10 years since the level 28 portal explosion had been shattered.

Higher levels of portals were exploding.

Of course, the radical faction's portal explosion project was partly to blame.

However, monsters still poured out of the portal even after that.

He believed that there was something beyond the fault of humans that was causing the portals to explode.

Now the commander could guess that the magical energy the monsters released on death that was sent by the demonic realm was the cause.

The 80 days until the invasion was different from before.

To be precise, it had to be different from before.

For 40 years, the commander fought from the moment Awakened began to appear.

Whether due to his personal beliefs or a different agenda, he risked life on the front lines to fight.

Not once had he ever lost or retreated from any battle against monsters.

He was known as the lone general carrying righteousness upon his shoulders.

Still, he could not but worry about the current situation.

They were facing the demonic races, the ones behind the creation of the portals on Earth.

It was likely that they had power far exceeding that of the monsters.

He did not witness their powers himself, but it was obvious, since they could control the monsters.

After steeping in worry for some time, the commander picked up his phone.

"Hello."

"Have you been well?"

"Yes, commander. How about you?"

"For an old man like me, every day is peaceful. I heard from Ho Jin. Were you able to get any decent skills?"

"Yes. About sending you a thank you..... Sorry."

"No, no. I'm not trying to discuss about the skills. I called, because I had something I wanted to talk with you about."

"Please, go ahead."

"About the demonic realm that you talked about with Ho Jin....."

"Yes."

"What do you think? Do you really think they will invade?"

"Just like you, commander, I think there is a fifty-fifty chance it'll happen. I am just doing everything I can to be prepared if it does."

"Hm..... I see. Unlike the situation with the radical faction..... I won't let you handle all of this by yourself."
