Episode 237
To be honest, I was curious too.
How much power is my current strength, and to what extent can I raise my power?
And the results were, to be honest, astonishing.
[Kyaak?]
[Keek!]
[Shhh profit!]
Aww!
Aww!
Fuwaak!
As if a tsunami was coming, my shikigami, who shot out from the shadows, mercilessly began to destroy the monsters.
From the ones closest to you, to the ones that flock to the entrance to the shelter and stand in your way.
They were pretty powerful, but my shikigami were even more powerful than that.
“… Burn it.”
Fuwaak!
Whoops!
“Heh, these are of low quality for a long time to get along with the real woman.”
Kwajajajak!
Whoops!
Every time Gongsam-i fired a flame, the monsters struggled in pain, and the vines summoned by the painter grabbed their bodies and twisted them.
The other shikigami were also dealing with the monsters that fit their level in turn.
“Damn, how many of them… … .”
“Is what I’m seeing right now real?”
The exorcists who were with them lost their words with a puzzled expression on their faces at such a sight.
And, sensing that things were going strangely, the high-ranking youkai over there also started to move.
[Boo-!]
The guy who wants to reinforce his power by summoning the monsters around him again.
But, of course, I wasn’t the one to let it go.
“Press it.”
[ooh!]
thud! thud! Koo!
When I gave the order, the Gsendae, who had been smashing the monsters nearby, began to charge towards it with fierce momentum.
The guy who felt the difference in level was scared and tried to run away, but that was also impossible.
It was because the old man who smashed the ground and jumped into the sky just grabbed the guy’s neck and smashed it on the floor.
Wow!
Aww-!
That was the end of it.
The shock was so intense that he couldn’t stand up any longer.
After that, he slammed his fist a few times and left the body of the guy as if it was annoying and started moving again in search of the target.
Seeing the neatly organized situation, I said to the citizens with wide-eyed eyes.
“Let’s go.”
“Yes, yes!”
There was no one to object or doubt any more. It was just that everyone followed me in a respectful manner.
‘I didn’t mean to scare you.’
Haha, the power I’ve shown right now is so intense, it might not be so strange.
And more than that, there was one thing that bothered me.
‘There are too many monsters.’
Originally, as far as I know, the number of normal yokais in the 3rd White Ghost Night Tour wasn’t that great.
They are also like side branches, just a harbinger of a huge typhoon.
Therefore, the core power was A rank or higher, and most of them were yokai with powerful powers.
‘Of course, the appearance of monsters was rare, but… … .’
A catastrophe with an incomparable danger to the previous one, that was the last White Ghost Nightfall.
‘By the way.’
Now something is strange. It was obviously different from the flow I knew.
Contrary to the original, in which the mediocre youkai were barely noticeable, aren’t you already seeing all over the place?
‘It is difficult.’
After all, it was a kind of balance adjustment.
Instead of powerful entities appearing one after another, an arrangement tailored to reduce the overall number and focus more power and respond.
However, if there are more small monsters like now, of course, the difficulty will be much more difficult.
Because this was not just a person-to-person battle, it was a kind of war.
It was said that precious power could be wasted to catch them.
“… … .”
I expected it, but in a more difficult situation, I kicked my tongue a little and moved on again.
In my head, constantly thinking about the variables that will arise.
***
“What is this… … .”
As soon as the exorcists who were leading the citizens for the first time entered the shelter, they looked for the person in charge with their angry faces.
It is natural to be angry because they were actually trying to abandon themselves and their citizens.
However, the moment they saw the scene inside, they, too, had no choice but to let out a sigh of embarrassment.
“I am Ji Young-min, the head of this place. There’s nothing I can say about being cruel to you guys.”
“Oh no, how the hell did this happen?”
The patients who spit out mournful noises and the dead who had already become cold corpses and left in a corner.
And even a few exorcists who became exhausted as if they had gone out of their minds.
The situation in the shelter was dire. It was certainly not at a level that could be done without worrying about the outside like Ji Young-min’s judgment.
“Are you saying the situation is this serious?”
“There was something fundamentally different about this Baekgwi Night Trip. Even though we thought we had enough manpower, almost all the groups suffered damage in the process of leading the citizens.”
Certainly, Joo Yong-taek and his companions would have suffered great damage from the previous situation without Han Kang-yun’s help.
Thinking about it, their miserable condition was also understandable.
‘Wait, then, does that mean that such a monster is appearing almost everywhere?’
At first, Joo Yong-taek thought he was unlucky, but looking at their condition, it didn’t seem like that at all.
And if that statement is true, it was in line with the great disaster that has now occurred in Korea.
‘They were obviously strong! It was not at a level that a single exorcist could handle.’
In order to completely protect the citizens from the previous situation, you would have to bring all personnel to level 2 or higher, or bring in an exorcist of level 1 or higher.
However, there was not enough manpower to be dispatched to various parts of the country.
In short, there was no answer.
‘Is this enough?’
I heard a warning that this Baekgwi night trip would be something different.
He was also wary of himself.
Well, before the incident, all sorts of extraordinary things happened, and there was even a strange aura in every direction.
Now that I come to see, this was not a problem that could only be dealt with with such a humble attitude.
“Then, the situation at the other shelters… … .”
“I don’t know where the high exorcist was dispatched, but it won’t be much different.”
“It’s a total mess.”
Of course, now there was a high-ranking exorcist here too.
Joo Yong-taek turned his gaze slightly to look at Han Kang-yoon, who was listening to the conversation.
His prestige, which I had seen a while ago, was so low that even the rumors that he was exaggerated were rather humble.
However, wondering what kind of sign he read in those eyes, Han Kang-yoon gently lowered his head and opened his mouth.
“Sorry, but I can’t stay here.”
“Uh, why?”
“The situation is serious. Even 3rd-level exorcists can’t guarantee a win, and there are yokais roaming around, and there are rare high-ranking ones among them. At times like this, if you are there, it will be a great help.”
At Ji Young-min’s words, Joo Yong-taek nodded without realizing it.
Definitely need some help here. In such a situation, it is impossible to let a talented person like Han Kang-yun leave.
However, the words Han Kang-yoon soon uttered were of a kind that completely exceeded the expectations of Joo Yong-taek and Ji Young-min.
“If that’s the case, I’d be happy again.”
“that is… … What are you talking about?”
“Can’t you feel it?”
Han Kang-yoon raised a finger and pointed in two directions on the other side of the door. And then he spoke again.
“Northwest and southeast, at least A+ rank.”
“What… … .”

Minimum A+ rank. Joo Yong-taek and Ji Young-min did not know the hidden meaning of those words.“Now, what are you talking about?”
“you’re right. Anyway, it can’t be… … .”
The reason the two of them were so embarrassed and embarrassed was simple.
No matter how much Han Kang-yoon’s skills are ahead of them, the range in which he can detect the yogi is not absolute.
In other words, there are two youkai that are close to S-Rank in this area alone, and if you expand the scope to the whole country, there are a lot more monsters floating around the world.
“It’s hard to admit, but it’s all true.”
“Well, then, isn’t that something we can no longer do with our own strength?”
Han Kang-yoon nodded softly. And Joo Yong-taek was able to intuitively realize the truth hidden in it.
‘So, being unable to be here means that you are going to catch those guys yourself.’
It’s really scary.
Joo Yong-taek, too, had been deeply aware of the transcendent power of a high-ranking youkai through the past.
Even less than that, the individual who stayed at the bottom of the A rank did it, so I couldn’t even imagine how great the fear of a monster higher than that would be.
‘… The bowl is different.’
To be honest, Joo Yong-taek was a bit envious.
What if he had the same talent as Han Kang-yoon, what would it be like if he had that much power?
But now I see it wasn’t. Han Kang-yoon was well-deserved to have enough power.
For some reason, Joo Yong-taek felt nostalgic for the time when he obtained the qualifications of an exorcist in the distant past.
At that time, it was the feeling of being engraved in my head again, the attitude I was aiming for as an exorcist.
“I don’t know if it will help, but I… … .”
The moment Joo Yong-taek was about to reveal his decision, Han Kang-yoon frowned and made a gesture to stop.
And with a serious face, he began to focus on something.
“What happened all of a sudden?”
“… … .”
Han Kang-yoon, who had been silent for a long time, clicked his tongue to see if something was not working out the way he wanted, and eventually passed it on to everyone.
“Among the things I just mentioned, youkai from the southeast. He’s heading this way.”
“What!”
If that’s true, that’s a big deal. A+ rank youkai. If he came after the shelter, the lives of the citizens could not be guaranteed.
“Isn’t there any possibility to simply go through the route?”
“I am predicting that too.”
There are several barriers in this shelter.
The ghosts of the past also followed the traces of the leaders, and it was almost impossible to recognize the people gathered in the shelter from a distance.
However, even after a few minutes passed, there was no sign of Han Kang-yoon’s expression on his face.
“… It’s probably something strange. Without a moment’s hesitation, he faces exactly where the shelter is located.”
“Stand, maybe.”
An indescribable calm spiritual power spread from Han Kang-yoon, who closed his eyes.
And Han Kang-yoon, who opened his eyes, strode forward with a face of absurdity, and grabbed someone’s wrist among the citizens.
“You, what do you have?”
“Yes, yes?”
Hanging on his sickly-looking wrist was a red-black rosary with a strange light.
“Where did you get this?”
“That, at the antique store, it’s good for health… … .”
Han Kang-yoon, who took it and destroyed it at once, returned to Joo Yong-taek and Ji Young-min and said,
“There was a sphere associated with gold magic. He took the reverberation.”
“That is… … .”
“Yes. I will come here.”
It was a moment when Joo Yong-taek and Ji Young-min’s faces turned white.
