Chapter 111:
Chapter 111
"No! Something is wrong here! Gods, take back this divine judgement!"
Seong Eui-gyeol pleaded desperately, but the judgement was set in place. Like a person shackled on both arms and legs, Seong Eui-gyeol's movements visibly slowed after receiving the penalty.
-Rooooar!
In contrast, the Diamond Guard raged even more fiercely, relentlessly attacking Seong Eui-gyeol. Seong Eui-gyeol, who took the Diamond Guard's fists with his whole body, spat out blood.
"Cough!"
Watching this, Seo Gangrim felt relieved inside. Meanwhile, Seong Eui-gyeol glared at him as he dripped with blood.
"You coward...! Not even helping me!"
Seo Gangrim knew Seong Eui-gyeol was stupid, but he was even stupider than Seo Gangrim hought.
'Attacking me then expecting me to save him.'
While leisurely observing this scene, Seo Gangrim heard a voice from his earpiece.
[Gangrim-ssi, Geoul and I came nearby.]
"Got it. Jang Taeheon, Yoon Bom, deactivate the device."
[Yes!]
As the device was deactivated, the bluish aura surrounding the Diamond Guard disappeared. Nevertheless, the Diamond Guard was still beating Seong Eui-gyeol into a bloody mess. Then, as if sensing something, it stopped attacking and turned around.
[A more threatening enemy has appeared, changing attack priorities!]
"Gangrim-ssi, did we come too late?"
The more threatening enemies, Shin Sooah and Yoon Geoul, were walking over.
Seo Gangrim stood up while swallowing a recovery potion.
"No. You came at just the right time. I think we just need to finish up."
"Take a rest. We'll handle this."
The Diamond Guard walked towards Shin Sooah and Yoon Geoul, still dripping with blood. Despite this, Shin Sooah's expression remained cold. Then, her eyes sharply shone as her ability activated.
[The ability 'Way of the Forest' is activated!]
The moment she finished speaking, vines shot out from all directions, wrapping around the Diamond Guard's limbs.
It struggled violently but the vines did not break. Shin Sooah was strong, and it had no magic power left after Seo Gangrim had hammered it down once already.
"Let's finish it off when Bom and Taeheon arrive."
They waited until the rest of the group joined before ending the Diamond Guard's life. Then, a notification popped up in front of Seo Gangrim.
[First Great Demon Realm conquered!]
[Seo Gangrim, Shin Sooah, Yoon Winter, Yoon Bom, Jang Taeheon's names spread far and wide!]
[Their patron god's fame rises!]
[Additional rewards given to the top contributor Seo Gangrim!]
"Phew..."
After checking the reward notification, Seo Gangrim let out a long breath. It was troublesome in many ways but they had managed to clear it somehow.
At this time, people came up to him with worried expressions.
"Master, are you okay? You're very injured..."
"Hyung-nim. Did you get beat by the boss? Anyway, who's that guy over there dying?"
Jang Taeheon pointed to where Seong Eui-gyeol was. He was wheezing and struggling to breathe.
Seo Gangrim then briefly explained.
"An assassin of sorts that Sura sect sent to kill me."
"An assassin...?"
"I'm not an assassin! I only came to reform a sinner!"
Leaving the bewildered Seong Eui-gyeol behind, Seo Gangrim exited the Great Demon Realm. Meanwhile, Dokgo Jun kept smiling at Seong Eui-gyeol.
Part 12: When a Nameless God is Born
"Did you hear the first Great Demon Realm was conquered in one go yesterday?"
As soon as Seo Gangrim went down to the hotel lobby, he heard people chatter. The hotel had been noisy since last night. He listened to their conversation with his hood pulled low.
"Yeah. They succeeded on the first try."
"It's called a Great Demon Realm so I thought it would be hard, but I guess not."
"No, I heard it's at least dragon-rank difficulty!"
They were excited even though they didn't clear it themselves.
One person grumbled, "Right. I thought I was gonna die halfway through. I would've actually died if they didn't clear it."
"The people who cleared it were those guys, right? Seo Gangrim."
Hearing his name, Seo Gangrim hunched his shoulders.
They continued enthusiastically, "Yeah, Seo Gangrim. From the Bureau's training facility."
"Come to think of it, I heard he's staying at this hotel..."
Seo Gangrim headed towards the restaurant but turned back to take the elevator again. He felt like going to the restaurant now would draw too much attention. Hence, he decided to just order room service.
As the elevator went up, Seo Gangrim could feel the others inside glancing at him.
"Are you Seo Gangrim by any chance?"
"Looks like him..."
Just then, the elevator doors opened.
'I'll have to eat in my room for a while.'
As he was about to return to his room, he heard a gravelly voice.
"Oh, hyung!"
Seo Gangrim turned to see Jang Taeheon standing there. He came up to him with a bright smile and said, "What luck running into you. I was just coming to get you."
"Coming to get me?"
"Yeah. We were gonna get together for breakfast. But people kept bothering us at the restaurant."
It wasn't just Seo Gangrim gaining fame. The others who were relatively unknown also rose to stardom after clearing the first Great Demon Realm. They must be getting love calls from all over too.
Coincidentally, Seo Gangrim wanted to discuss something regarding yesterday, so he followed Jang Taeheon.
"Master, you're here!"
Everyone except Seo Gangrim had gathered inside. Well, Father Yohan wasn't in the place either. He must have been called away by his church and wasn't done yet.
Despite the big battle yesterday, everyone looked cheerful.
Jang Taeheon excitedly said, "Hyung, did you see the community? Our story is blowing up!"
"I saw."
"We're getting calls from all over after just one day! Even interview requests!"
Jang Taeheon seemed to be enjoying the popularity quite a bit. Well, it was indeed exciting.
Shin Sooah also said a little shyly, "I got contacted too. Many offers to join sects."
"So will you be joining one?"
"No. I was thinking of making my own but..."
She pondered briefly before looking straight at me.
"Gangrim-ssi, do you have plans to create your own sect?"
