42 – Choi Da-hee’s Regret
“Heogee… Huhuk… Heoguk…”
Abelida Goddess Bureau, Yun Seong-won, a warrior, started running away like crazy, abandoning his comrades. Yoon Seong-won thought as he ran.
‘f*ck… Now is not the time to worry about the aftermath that will come later. If it continues like this, I might really die. It’s better to be f*cked later than to die right away.’
“Heeuk… Heouk…”
It was truly miserable to see Yun Seong-won abandoning his teammates and running away. In addition, Yoon Seong-won was not running away alone. He was taking all of his warrior party members with him.
The reason Choi Da-hee, Han Min-seo, and Lee Ye-seul, the three warrior party members, Yun Seong-won took them and ran away was simple.
To increase his own chances of survival.
No matter how strong the monsters are and the warrior party members look weak, they can be said to be the elite chosen by the Goddess. Choi Da-hee’s buff, Han Min-seo’s swordsmanship, and Lee Ye-seul’s magic are quite outstanding compared to normal hunters and swordsmen. That’s why Seongwon Yoon tried to increase his chances of survival by escaping with the minimum number of people rather than escaping alone.
If one of the monsters follows him, he may battle with the warrior party members, and if things go wrong, he may abandon them and run away, so in a word, it is like insurance.
Han Min-seo, who was half-forced to run with Yoon Seong-won, shouted.
“What are you doing?”
-Hush
Yoon Seong-won stopped at her seat at the sound of her voice and looked at her coldly.
“What are you talking about?”
Han Min-seo answered Yoon Seong-won’s question.
“People are fighting right now. But why are we the only ones running away like this?”
“Ha.”
Yoon Seong-won sighed in amazement and pointed at Han Min-seo.
“You, you just had a fight with those demons, and you still hear that kind of noise? What can you do by fighting them? If they didn’t fight properly, you would have been cut off by the head. What can you do to me!”
“….”
Han Min-seo shut his mouth. In fact, she received Choi Da-hee’s buff and rushed at her monsters. However, she was not successful in a single attack and she was knocked to the ground. The difference in overwhelming force. I felt the difference in her hopeless skills with her whole body. If the demons had immediately tried to take her life, she would have died.
Yoon Seong-won started to push Han Min-seo, who kept her mouth shut.
“Apart from being hit and pinned to the ground while foolishly running ahead, isn’t it embarrassing to have managed to save your life thanks to Lee Ye-seul’s magic? A bastard with no skills is fighting or what the f*ck. If you want to just go and die, do whatever you want!”
-Parr Leure
Han Min-seo’s hands trembled. Strength of demons. It is because the overwhelming power of an untouchable level was imprinted in her head.
I know rationally. That she had to fight alongside those on the battlefield now, but her instincts, her own survival instincts, were stopping it.
“This… For now… I think it’s only right to… Run away…”
Choi Da-hee. She is a person with a soft heart. But at the same time, she is a person who knows how to judge calmly. Da-Hee Choi is a girl who is most important to her and the people around her. Han Min-seo and Lee Ye-seul, both of whom he cherishes very much. It was clear that they would die if they returned to the battlefield. The power of those monsters was unusual.
Listening to Dahee Choi, Yeseul Lee muttered.
From noble mtl dot com.
“Damn it…If only we had the power…”
Choi Da-hee also muttered to herself.
‘When Hero Kang Eun-chan was around… there was nothing like that monster…’
She burst into tears.
‘Hero Eunchan Kang has been fighting such strong monsters head-on… Didn’t you give us a hint of difficulty, did you deal with monster-like monsters by yourself… How… How could you do that? Was there?…’
Choi Da-hee reminded me of Kang Eun-chan.
She saw him smiling, saying that he was okay even though he was hurt all over his body. The appearance of a man who was always at the forefront receiving all attacks when monsters appeared and dealt fatal blows to the enemies.
Kang Eun-chan has always been alone in fighting dozens, no, hundreds of people. He realized the strength of the monsters today.
The reason why the former warrior party was able to proceed smoothly was simply because Kang Eun-chan was so strong, and because he sacrificed himself to protect others.
‘The terrible situation we’re facing now… Must be a punishment for those of us who didn’t believe in you…’
She whispered.
“Hero Eunchan Kang… Please… Please save me… I was wrong…”

Kessley Goddess Kingdom.
Chae Eunseo talked.
“Everyone, even though monsters aren’t appearing right now, you shouldn’t relax. A situation where you never know when a certain monster will attack. So you have to stay alert.”
Heo Na-yoon and all the waiting staff around looked at Chae Eun-seo with nervous expressions. But one of them, only Kang Eun-chan, stood there with a relaxed expression.
‘There is nothing difficult about a few people coming.’
A fraudulent privilege granted to Kang Eun-chan
[Unique Privilege] [First Demon King Slayer]
▶Increases damage dealt to demon lords and monsters by 1,200%.
▶When disclosing the contents of the privilege. Privileges expire.
Ever since Kang Eun-chan was possessed in the game, he has been fighting the demon king’s army for many years with this fraudulent privilege. He is even the only one who has experience in fighting not only the commander of the demon corps, but also the demon king, their leader.
For Kang Eun-chan, the other members except for the demon king are no different. Because his combat experience and strength were not weakened by the fact that he was using a ‘virtual face’.
The people around him who didn’t know about that situation were quite agitated by the monster that had appeared before.
Mujihan, the 25th level security officer, spoke to his security guards.
“Be careful… Those monsters weren’t just strong enough. It was overwhelming… To the point where I couldn’t even try.”
Unlike before, he had changed into a very passive and wary attitude. He felt it too. Arranging the commotion within Goddess Kesley or mediating disputes with people is dangerous, but it is different from dealing with monsters.
Stage Han has only seen a few crazy people or normal monsters he has ever met. He said that he had never seen the enhanced monsters belonging to the Demon King’s army.
Stage Han saw the monsters belonging to the Demon King’s army and realized how infinitely weak and small he was.
‘I… couldn’t do anything.’
Since he was a child, he was endowed with strong power, and was called a merchant among the people. He is not good at fighting because of his strength itself, but Stage Han had faith in his physical abilities.
However, his faith was completely shattered when he met the puppet monster Pechiniras.
A monster with only a ghost inside a doll. It’s a monster that doesn’t even belong to the high rank among monsters, but I was almost killed by that guy.
-Kadudeuk
I was upset. If a monster stronger than Pechiniras had come or if Kang Eun-chan hadn’t saved him, he wouldn’t be standing here right now. I mean he would have died horribly.
‘Level 31 police chief… Kang Eun-hyuk… What the hell is he doing?’
It’s only level 31. In other words, he is a person belonging to the lowest rank in the police force, where the lowest rank is 32nd. Kang Eun-hyeok casually subdued a monster that he could not catch even though he was the same security chief. It was difficult to even guess who his original identity was.
‘There are a lot of powerful people with a story in Goddess Kesley’s kingdom… But I wonder if there ever was a person this strong.’
The level of the stage was not as high as Chae Eun-seo, but I could feel it nonetheless. How amazing Kang Eun-chan was, he felt as if he was facing a huge mountain.
‘If I want to be active in the future, I need to get on the rope well.’
He made that decision.
Hun Na-yoon watched Kang Eun-chan from the side.
Her feelings were complicated.
‘The movement you showed when you went to slash Pechiniras… The path of the sword… It was similar to Kang Eun-chan…’
People form habits when they act. When you talk, when you move, even when you breathe. People have their own unique habits. However, as Yoon was aware of Kang Eun-chan’s habits, her suspicions about Kang Eun-hyuk grew.
‘If… This person is truly the hero Kang Eun-chan…’
How should I ask for forgiveness at that time?
It’s unlikely, but I’m sure that the possibility doesn’t exist, but Nayun Heon had vain hopes. Happily, by any chance, this person might be Kang Eun-chan. Such vain hopes

The next day. News came from Goddess Abelida.
Chae Eun-seo, who was defending the wall from the front, spoke with a wrinkled expression.
“What?… Say it again. Is it really?”
The man who came to deliver the news bowed her head and replied.
“Yes. The walls of Goddess Abelida… Have collapsed.”
