“Ah….”

The morning sunlight struck my eyes, jolting me awake with a splitting headache.

It felt like the time before I was a Hunter, after downing three bottles of soju and going to an after-party.

And it wasn’t just my head; my back ached even more.

A back that felt like it was about to break.

I felt like I had lost all sensation in my lower back.

My back still ached, as if we had continued even after I lost consciousness last night.

How rough did we get…

“You’re awake?”

“…Be gentle…”

Ha-jeong asked Ha-yeon playfully.

Last night, I told him to take it easy so many times, but he didn’t listen and kept going, so this reaction was only natural.

Anyway, Ha-yeon glared at him and said that, and he chuckled before saying to her.

“You started it, and then you came in wearing outfits like that. How could I resist?”

“….”

He grinned slyly and pointed behind Ha-yeon.

Not the bed, but the floor.

There were quite a few clothes scattered there.

Ha-yeon’s original clothes, underwear, and the lingerie she changed into midway.

And finally, the outfit she bought yesterday for seduction.

He pointed to the last one, and Ha-yeon couldn’t argue.

Because she was the one who wore it. Deliberately, to seduce him even more.

Of course, she didn’t expect it to be so effective.

Ha-yeon sighed as she recalled what happened last night, but she couldn’t help but sigh again as she thought of her sister.

‘She really is scary.’

The cropped shirt and tight pants she wore.

All of them were clothes her sister had given her yesterday.

It was hard to explain in detail, but when her body met those clothes, it created an incredible synergy.

How does she know so much about this when she dates so normally?

My face just turned red.

‘…Or am I just lewd?’

This body, that is.

As she frowned in that situation, Ha-jeong chuckled beside her and asked.

“Can you get up right away?”

“No… absolutely not.”

It wasn’t as bad as when I was discharged from the hospital a while ago, but I felt like something terrible would happen if I moved.

But that thought was immediately overturned by what he said next.

“Still, you should put on your underwear, shouldn’t you?”

He said that while looking at her body.

Her body, which she thought couldn’t move even a step, blushed and put on her clothes as soon as she heard his words.

Even after that, several days passed.

As if it were the last time they would ever play, the two went to cafes and movie theaters, enjoying their time together, something they hadn’t been able to do for a while.

Except for the last day due to her condition, they didn’t even sleep, really making the most of it, enough to handle an incredibly tight schedule.

As a result, time flowed quickly.

Before long, the day Hairel mentioned had arrived.

When that day came, Ha-yeon finished all the preparations and waited.

That night, as she waited in the building Ha-yeon had created in the middle of the sea, a message arrived.

[The Constellation, ‘Moon-Cleaving Flash,’ says that all preparations are complete for you.]

“…It’s time.”

According to what Hairel said before, Ha-yeon would fight Gaia alone.

The others and Hairel would connect to the Source, and their role was to fight the monsters that would appear when Gaia, who sensed the Godhood, crossed over to this place.

“Can’t the Constellation become a Godhood?”

[The Constellation, ‘Moon-Cleaving Flash,’ says that his soul is already broken and cannot withstand the Source.]

I asked just in case, but as expected.

Hairel had already given up on becoming a Godhood.

That’s why he told me to become a Godhood.

Anyway, with that as the last thing, I headed to the promised place with the S-ranks.

The members who gathered were the same as last time.

Me, Ha-jeong, Jin Na-yeon, Lee Seol-ah, Kaede, Veronica, Ellen.

It was difficult to contact Raven, as he was already in seclusion, and even if we did reach him, he didn’t seem like he would help.

He had already lost his motivation.

However, we had a new force.

[The Constellation, ‘Moon-Cleaving Flash,’ notifies that preparations are complete.]

Hairel.

The fact that a High-Ranking Constellation was helping us.

Of course, it would be difficult for him to engage in full-scale combat in this world, but he would head to the Dimensional Rift where Gaia summoned Demonic Beasts and block them to some extent.

Not ‘quantity’ but ‘quality.’

He would take on the monsters that were outside the norm, like SS-ranks.

Anyway, with this, the preparations were complete.

‘The preparation to end the fight.’

Ha-yeon took a breath and said.

“Shall we begin?”

The other members smiled at those words.

Ha-yeon, relieved by their expressions, drew her sword and raised her hand high.

The Stigmata engraved there shone powerfully, scattering light around it.

“Elvaros, Ann, Karian.”

[The Divine Beasts, ‘Ann,’ ‘Elvaros,’ and ‘Karian,’ are attempting to descend!]

At the same time as that System window, the void cracked.

Three beings descended from the cracks that formed.

One was a giant turtle, as large as an island.

One was an elegant white fox, as large as a house.

And finally, an ice bird that seemed to reign over the summit of a mountain.

The beings closest to the ‘System’ and the ‘Source.’

The Divine Beasts.

[Mitigating restrictions with the power of Aether.]

[The power of Aether has risen above a certain level!]

[Summoning restrictions are eliminated!]

Before, by killing Eleina, her Aether had become unimaginably powerful.

Divine Sword Unification and this incredibly powerful Aether.

And finally.

The remaining eight Divine Swords obtained from Eleina after the New King Church subjugation.

Pink, green, sky blue, orange, black, as well as the red and yellow she already had, and finally, blue.

What Hairel prepared was the combination of all these Divine Swords.

‘This isn’t the true form yet.’

The dignity when a Constellation used it was not like this.

Among them, the black Divine Sword.

The black, which had the most ferocious energy, was incredibly calm.

That’s why the combined sword based on this was.

[Transcendent Weapon, ‘Divine Sword of Glory (Unmeasurable),’ is drawn by your hand.]

It was so beautiful.

A beautiful sword blade with iridescent colors and a black guard.

And finally, a white handle.

Even the appearance alone looked gorgeous and sharp, but the amount of mana contained within possessed formidable power.

‘Amazing…’

It was just the mana contained in a ‘sword.’

It surpassed Ha-yeon’s mana, which was almost in the realm of a Constellation.

An enormous amount of mana, as well as a certain amount of Aether that seemed to wriggle, perhaps influenced by Ha-yeon.

She chuckled briefly at the bizarre phenomenon of that enormous mana and Aether.

Her face hardened, and she took a breath, finishing the final preparations.

Ha-yeon opened her mouth slightly a moment later.

“System.”

Of course, nothing popped up with just that.

That’s why she opened her mouth again. Along with mana.

“[Expose the Source.]”

The Word Spirit, a passive skill residing in the Divine Sword of Glory.

As she commanded the System using the Word Spirit, a blue barrier appeared in the air with a spark.

Nothing was written on it.

Just a blue barrier.

This was a test. A test to break this barrier once.

And Ha-yeon was willing to take that test.

“Elvaros, Ann, Karian.”

-We shall obey.

As she commanded, the three Divine Beasts charged straight towards the System.

The ultra-high-temperature flames coming from Ann.

Karian’s freezing, Elvaros’s blue energy.

As those energies came into contact with the System, cracks began to form there.

However, a finishing blow was lacking. A finishing blow to deliver the final blow.

That’s why Ha-yeon poured mana into the Divine Sword of Glory.

“It was good to have a test!”

The other S-ranks were the same.

One point.

They poured attacks towards the point the Divine Beasts were attacking, and Ha-yeon also swung her sword at that sight.

Quietly, but more brilliantly than anyone else.

[The Divine Sword of Glory contains a wish.]

[Transcendent Skill, ‘Crescent Moon (Unmeasurable),’ is created from your hand.]

The skill containing Hairel’s wish stretched forward.

A brilliant cluster of iridescent light.

The light that moved forward without hesitation.

Kwaang-!!

Soon, it collided with the System.

A huge roar and thick smoke erupted.

As the smoke that erupted along with the blazing flames cleared, the scene behind it unfolded.

“Is that the ‘passage’…”

The collapsed System, and the Other Dimension visible beyond the crack.

A passage that looked similar to a galaxy unfolded.

That must be the passage connected to the Source.

Ha-yeon approached it.

“…How long do you think it will take for the Constellation?”

[The Constellation, ‘Moon-Cleaving Flash,’ says that it won’t take that long.]

It won’t take long.

That meant he didn’t really know either.

She sighed briefly at that message, then raised the Divine Sword of Glory in her hand and stretched out her foot.

“Come back safe.”

Ha-jeong said that to her.

Ha-yeon smiled playfully at his words, which contained worry, and said.

“You better not die.”

And with that.

She crossed over to the other side of the passage.
