Thanks to giving Gongsam the power, the level of Gsondae was 60, which is 4 lower than before.
‘… Well, it doesn’t change that I’m still strong.’
In addition, Gong Sam-i, who has undergone numerous battles and gained strength by participating in this ceremony, has achieved considerable growth.
The level has risen by a whopping nine steps from the initial point, the rank of the ability has also risen, and the characteristics have also increased.
At this level, it is not inferior to being called an A-rank.
‘After all, it was correct to work in a crowd at that time.’
Due to its ability to handle fire, there are many uses, and there is still room for growth in the future.
I nodded the whale satisfactorily, cleared all the status windows, and thought.
‘This makes it worth trying against any monster.’
Except for the silk gongsami, the other shikigami also achieved great and small growth.

My current power is at a level that cannot be easily ignored no matter who comes. The firepower itself has increased, and the hand has been prepared enough to deal with any situation.And from tomorrow, the second summer vacation, which will finally be the stage for the second Baekgwi Night, begins.
Eun-seo Baek and Seo-ah Han and Ha-on Yoo and the group will practice as defense forces as I did before, and there they will face the incident of Baek-gwi-ya.
‘The question is, how am I going to move at that point?’
You can act as a helper by sticking with the main character, Ha-on Yoo, or you can make a plan to solve the situation from the other side.
‘… … .’
Although it was an area of concern to this day, the answer was already decided.
‘After all, I must move away first.’
In the very early stages of the 2nd Baekgwi Nights, even that powerful youkai do not appear.
It’s just that monsters that are stronger than usual are constantly appearing. Therefore, joining Yoo Ha-on and his party from the beginning is not very efficient.
‘If that’s the case, is it a group activity in the first place?’
When it is officially announced that Baekgwiyahaeng has returned, the Exorcism Headquarters declares the highest level of emergency, summoning all the exorcists with official qualifications, and forming a subjugation squad in each area.
There was a high possibility that I too would be the target and headed to the front line.
‘I’ll move like that right now, and then I’ll have to look at the situation and move fluidly.’
Arietta, Red Flower Team, and Baek So-yul.
Anyway, there are many cards that can be used appropriately depending on the situation.
After I finished organizing my thoughts, I lay down on the bed and went to sleep.
So, the vacation finally began.
***
“Yes. It’s the 2nd defense unit in Dongjak-gu.”
Just in case, I had confirmed in advance where Yu Ha-on and his party were going to go to, and I left the academy as it was and found Arietta.
And, as usual, he spilled the blood, leaving a final request.
“Prepare your heart. If we need help, we will contact you right away.”
“… yes. No problem. Be careful, younger brother.”
Three days passed like that.
At this point, Yoo Ha-on and his party must have become quite accustomed to the work of the defense force, and the academy’s cadets were also scattered across the country.
And the next morning, the situation finally began.
Wow!
Wow-!
[Real situation! All citizens, please go to the shelter, get off the street and go to your house or shelter!]
A broadcast sound so urgent that it hurts the ears, resounding along with the loud siren sound.
Citizens who were walking on the streets at that desperate voice understood the situation and started to leave their seats quickly.
And I was in front of the game center in Sadang-dong to catch a monster that would cause a really troublesome situation in the second Baekgwi Nightfall.
‘… I was worried about the lack of information about the place of appearance, but it was surprisingly easy to find.’
In the original story, there was a mention that the yokai, who likes to flash and flash, killed citizens in a game center in Sadang-dong after it first appeared.
And when I searched for it myself, there was only one game center that satisfies the conditions in Sadang-dong.
Wow-!
Although the siren was still ringing loudly, there were still citizens who did not run away inside the center.
Now that it’s a fairly repetitive daily life, he had a complacency in the belief that the exorcists of the garrison would solve the situation on their own.
‘Well, it must have been too late to notice because it was so noisy inside.’
After a few minutes passed like that, I felt the presence of a yokai with quite strong power around me.
‘… it’s inside the building Did you enter through the bathroom window?’
Since they were waiting nearby anyway, I immediately went inside and checked the situation.
“X feet!”
“Hey, go away!”
Citizens are holding back each other while retreating to one corner because the ghost has occupied the passageway leading to the entrance.
I sighed at that, and deliberately developed a restraint technique in a dangerous situation and bound him.
Quad Duck!
“Qwaak?”
It’s strong, but it’s a B-rank level if you hit it well.
However, because of this one guy, all communications in Seoul and nearby cities are paralyzed, causing massive chaos.
Considering the urgency of the situation, you can see with your eyes closed that it will cause a lot of damage.
‘It’s just because of a guy like this that the headquarters are so messed up.’
It was something I already knew, but when I actually check the reality, it loses its meaning.
I unfolded the incandescent charm as it was, cut off his head, and opened my mouth to the completely stunned citizens.
“Let’s go, I will guide you to a safe place.”
***
University student Oh Taek-min, who usually lives in a game center, felt his heart racing several times a day and hurriedly followed Han Kang-yoon.
I just ignored it, thinking it was a problem that would be resolved quickly, as usual, but when I went out in person, this was not just a situation like that.
‘Four, people screaming from all sides… … .’
So many monsters appeared, and it was proof that the citizens were falling into chaos.
In fact, Taek-Min Oh himself might have already been killed by the monster if it hadn’t been for the exorcist Han Kang-yoon, who was leading the party at the forefront.
“We have to move more than 500 meters to the shelter, is this okay?”
“Well, I just want to go home. I think it should be.”
“no. Leaving my side right now is suicidal. And looking at the situation, I don’t think it’s safe to say that it’s a normal household.”
The citizens who were with them were terrified and did not know what to do, but Han Kang-yun, who led them, stuck to the destination with a silent and decisive attitude.
As Oh Taek-min knew, Han Kang-yoon’s judgment was correct in the current situation.
‘… Anyway, the family will lead the exorcists of the defense force around a certain area and lead them to the shelter.’
However, even knowing this, he was very nervous and anxious now, but Han Kang-yoon, who seemed to be the same age as Taek-min or a little younger, did not waver.
Taekmin felt that Han Kang-yoon was so amazing even in the midst of his hesitation.
However, perhaps not all of them had the same thoughts as Taekmin, and one of the party opened his mouth with a swear word.
“Hey, what are you and what are you doing? Are you an exorcist who got a qualification in the first place? I don’t look like that age. I’m sorry, but I don’t trust beginners with no experience,”
Obviously, Han Kang-yoon had a face that looked too young to be a skilled exorcist.
Once an opinion was expressed, some of the party sympathized with it and moved to leave.
“… Frankly, it is. How do we know if we have the skills to protect us?”
“Gee, the last time I saw, the guy who just got his qualifications and went out was rather attacked by a monster and carried away leaving the citizens behind!”
Public anxiety was justified. Even now, shouts and screams are being heard from all directions, but there was no law that the next target could not be them.
And as if the anxiety had hit them, another youkai appeared in front of them.
One in the front, one on the roof of the building next door, and even the guy banging and destroying cars in the alleyway.
“Oh no, I mean, why are you screaming! Erase!”
When the situation came, the citizens visibly shrugged and called for Han Kang-yoon in a crawling voice.
“Hey, hey exorcist, are you okay?”
“… Request support! Hey, isn’t there something like a walkie-talkie over there?”
Among the citizens who were completely panicked, Han Kang-yoon sighed heavily and spit out a small word.
“No need to worry. Looking at the energy, it’s not that great.”
At the same time as those words, Han Kang-yoon’s shadow suddenly squirmed like a living creature and spat out something.
slurp.
Whoops!
Fuwaak!
Protruding out of it were various creatures that looked like shikigami.
“Take it all together.”
That one word was over.
At Han Kang-yun’s command, the ghosts who were watching the citizens were brutally torn to death.
The citizens, relieved at that time, wiped away their cold sweat and coughed in vain as if they were indifferent.
“Well, what, it really wasn’t a big deal.”
“… After all, I don’t think we’re leaving now, I’m just going to the shelter with this guy.”
Citizens, recognizing that they were alert to the visible threat, stopped shouting and began to follow Han Kang-yun’s instructions.
And Oh Taek-min, who watched the whole process, opened his eyes wide and looked at Han Kang-yoon’s back.
‘… No, of course it can’t be, right?’
I knew it because I once wanted to become an exorcist while studying witchcraft. There is no such thing as a monster No matter how low-class youkai are, they have the power to brutally kill ordinary people.

Moreover, as Oh Taek-min felt, the monsters Han Kang-yun dealt with now were not even those with low ranks.‘It’s just that guy, he’s incredibly strong.’
In the first place, I had never even heard of such a bizarre magic that a shikigami was used through the shadows.
‘… The situation is probably not serious.’
The overflowing of these monsters now reminded me of the Baekgwi Nightfalls of the past.
When I glanced at the messenger, my acquaintances all over the country seemed to be experiencing the same situation.
Then, as Kang-yoon Han said, there is no safety anywhere in Korea right now.
And it was clear how I could save my life in such a situation.
‘You must follow this person.’
Next to a strong man with proper skills.
Because that was the only place where I could put my mind at ease.
