5 minutes ago.

“Whoa!”

A group of people with special abilities came out through a narrow hole and stretched out and caught their breath as soon as they came out together.

“Arrived. Right here?”

“The GPS location is correct here.”

Taking a breath inside the underground cave was like breathing in dust, but since they had dug a fairly long tunnel, they felt relieved just to have arrived at their destination.

“Is this really here? There’s nothing? They say it’s a vein of gold?”

Rasputin surveyed the entire cavity.

The fairly large cave looked more like a natural cave than a mine created by humans, and it didn’t look like any human hands had been put into it.

“It’s a vein of gold. Not yet developed. Reserves….”

” That’s ridiculous. That kind of gold remains until modern times? That can’t be possible. It would have been stolen a long time ago during the Japanese colonial era?”

“This ability is what makes that possible. Come this way.”

The Heavenly Demon shined the flashlight inward and infused magical power into his fist.

“Happy!”

When she stretched out her fist forward with a short burst of energy, blue-black magical power immediately shot out from her hand like a fist and flew forward.

Kwa-ang!

The fist-shaped magic bullet flew through the air, touched the wall, and exploded.

Soon the wall shook violently, causing dust to flow down, and the light from the flashlight began to sparkle in gold through the collapsing wall.

“…Crazy. Is that really gold? That’s ridiculous.”

“You may not have known, but this happens. This time, I’m sharing information with great intentions, so please know it well.”

After approaching the wall he had destroyed, the Cheonma lightly tapped the gold nugget shining beyond the camouflage wall with his hand.

“Do you know that saying? ‘Money can be copied’.”

“Isn’t this what people with special abilities say when money comes into their accounts?”

“That’s right. But try changing your money to gold there. Then the answer is simple, right?”

“Well, is it alchemy?”

“Maybe.”

Tuk, knock.

As the Heavenly Demon continued to knock on the wall next to him with his hand to tear it down, golden minerals began to sparkle even in the collapsed area.

“Crazy, is that all pure gold? How is this possible?”

“Do you think it is right to say ‘how’ in the modern era of natural ability?”

“No, it’s not like this though. If it’s a gold mine like this, how can you dig it up? Because it’s a waste.”

Coo coo coo.

Soon, the entire wall collapsed.

When all the camouflage walls had collapsed, the entire inner wall of the vast cavity was glistening with gold.

“……Even if we bring five large containers from the port, it won’t be enough.”

“Will it end with five? What if it is more deeply rooted underground?”

“Crazy. How is this possible?”

Since it was an underground cave, the only light available was a flashlight and a smartwatch, so I couldn’t say for sure, but there was a large shiny mass sitting there, like a giant golden Buddha statue in a temple.

“You must be going crazy. What is this?”

“I guess nothing has been confirmed yet from Vladivostok. We confirmed it.”

“If you want to tell me, just say it calmly. What is this? How can such a huge mass…no, the entire land sparkle like pure gold?”

“It’s because it contains magical power. It may be because it is a resource buried in the great Korean soil. There are many possibilities, but we decided to call this ‘resource assimilation’ for now.”

“Resource assimilation?”

“The surrounding resources are turning into very expensive and valuable resources.”

The Heavenly Demon raised his hand on the gold while speaking to himself, wondering if this was right.

“I don’t know. Is someone with the ability of alchemy changing the resources in this land at will, or is the world being changed by the magic spread by an alien meteorite that fell in the East Sea?”

“Ha, haha. If this continues, will all the different types of gems in the world be found only in North Korea?”

“Sure. Oil may soon be gushing out of the sea off Taean. Well, I’ll think about that phenomenon later.”

Puff, puff.

The Heavenly Demon struck the gold nugget again with his hand.

It was not a hollow sound, but a heavy sound that seemed to touch the hearts of those gathered in the space.

“Let’s cut this off quickly and then shake it off. Let researchers think about the principles later, and now – damage!”

As soon as the Heavenly Demon’s cry rang out, something flew out of the darkness.

Poobubuk!!

The sound of something sharp being stabbed into the body.

A sound resounded throughout the entire cavity, as if in a historical war movie, an arrow fired from a distance hit a person’s body.

“Wow!”

Those with special abilities fall.

All of those who fell had something black like an arrow stuck in their knees, and those next to them pulled out the arrow.

“Black…steel…?”

“Who are you!”

[You don’t need to know.]

“……You can tell who he is just by looking at his abilities.”

Seup, seup.

A man in a black suit walking out of the darkness.

A man wearing a rider’s helmet, slightly different from a motorcycle helmet, on his head, which was sold as a suit in the sun, slowly emerged from the darkness wearing black gloves.

“Long time no see, Taejo.”

[…….]

“There is no way in Korea that anyone else is this good at manipulating metal. Isn’t that right?”

[Having your true identity revealed just by using this ability is quite tiring. Even if you’re famous, it’s okay.]

Flash!

An orange light exploded in the air.

The light bounced through the ceiling and stuck to the walls, and soon the entire cavity was colored orange, making the inside brightly lit.

[If you went into exile, you should live quietly in your own country. Why do you come all the way to Korea and try to steal our resources?]

“Oh my. Wasn’t this North Korean territory?”

[Is it because I couldn’t learn it? This has been Korean territory for a very long time. North Korea was just recklessly occupying the area illegally.]

“Rather than brainwashing education that teaches strange things, it is better not to learn such things.”

[Tsk. Conversation is not working.]

“You didn’t come here to talk, right?”

The Heavenly Demon came forward, fiddling with his clasped hands, and Rasputin walked next to him, extending his hands to the sides.

“Heung, can I deal with these two?”

[What are you saying, you who haven’t even made it to the S level?]

“…still a cocky little boy.”

Buuung.

The blue crystal extending from Rasputin’s hand began to take some form.

“Why, even after being put down by me, will someone say something like that later? huh? I’m looking forward to it. The sound of Armored King Taejo crying.”

The crystal shining with ether was like an elongated club.

The form at the end is an insidious form that is difficult to put into words.

[I’m sorry, but this side is more about crying than crying.]

King Taejo bobbed his head left and right and stretched out his hands forward.

[I will give in to the first goer.]

Pa-ah!

As soon as the Heavenly Demon and Rasputin disappeared from their seats at the same time, the S-class battle began.

* * *

[brother. I think he’s following his older brother.]

[me?]

[I thought it was a complete goblin Mk.2. Even the way he speaks and his lines are all similar to Doji Rider.]

[…Maybe so.]

Feeling a sense of déjà vu, Taejo became Taejo Rider and provoked Cheonma and Rasputin.

[There are more enemies than I thought. Don’t you have to go apply?]

Ymir’s worried voice rings in my ears.

Because Taejo and two A-class people are dealing with enemies that include so many people with special abilities, and even two S-classes, it seems like a burdensome task.

[While the S-classes are confronting each other, the other A-classes are now tied up by the A-classes over there.]

[yes.]

[Then, in the meantime, the gold nugget over there… won’t all be taken away?]

Kagagagagang!!

Battles rage throughout the cavity.

Taejo will face Cheonma and Rasputin, and Giparang and Twin Fish will face other A-level players from China and Russia.

And in the meantime, people with magical abilities, estimated to be E-level, bring a shovel imbued with magical power and swing it towards the gold mine.

Puck, puck.

The gold nuggets, shining brightly like pure gold, came off very easily, like tofu.

No matter how much gold it is, no matter how much it is an iron shovel, it is not a big problem in front of a person with superpowers who has infused ‘mana’ into the iron shovel and strengthened his body with mana.

If we don’t sort it out quickly, if we don’t kick them out quickly, all that gold will be smuggled overseas.

[are you okay. There is one dangerous enemy, but it is at a level that can be covered with sufficient force.]

[Is the person called Cheonma dangerous?]

[okay.]

A woman who was purely S-level in Korea.

In other words, it is a being beyond Taejo’s S-class reading.

[Rasputin was below King Taejo. It was only after he went to Russia and received the nickname Rasputin that he was classified as S-class. If you compare it to Korea, it’s level A+.]

[There is a possibility that he may have become stronger in the meantime. Rasputin, one of Russia’s top three players. If even the Heavenly Demon joins forces….]

[It looks like Taejo is at a disadvantage.]

On the surface.

Because the situation is so close to a battle, and because Taejo has shown another side, Ymir seems uncomfortable with the idea of Taejo getting hurt or dying here.

Crayfish are flat, green is the same color, and arms are grilled on the inside.

No matter how Canadian he is, Ymir is now almost half Korean.

[Ymir. As for being S-class, the decision is ultimately made by the Hero Association, right?]

[Yes?]

[In that case, the decision is made based on overall combat ability, including the ability to save people as a ‘hero’. However, there is one judgment missing from that measurement.]

This is something that cannot be said carelessly in the world of light.

[Lethal power.]
