Ch.20Ep.20: A Warning to Those from Another World

It was a completely unexpected change.

The third-level seal suddenly disappeared, and Radios regained his magical power along with his vitality.

However, he didn’t show it and waited for his opportunity.

Petrick thought Radios had run out of power.

If he came close enough to show an opening…

‘That’s when I’ll strike.’

Like a hunter waiting for prey to enter the trap.

Radios maintained his hollow gaze while watching for his chance.

Petrick, perhaps because his own life force was fading, failed to notice Radios’s change.

As he approached step by step, he stopped right in front of Radios.

He created a sword with magical power and gripped it in reverse.

“This is the end, Radios Magnum.”

“…”

“By killing you… I will–“

Squelch!

Petrick’s eyes widened as he saw a blade piercing through his heart.

Radios, whom he thought had lost all strength, had created a magic sword and stabbed his heart.

It happened in just a split second!

“H-how…”

“Just got lucky.”

If he could just thrust the sword in his hand, he could crush that damned bastard’s face.

But for Petrick, who had lost all his strength, that was impossible.

“Cough! Urgh…”

Spitting dark red blood, he collapsed lifelessly to the ground.

The Apostle, symbol of the Tulcha Order, had breathed his last.

“L-Lord Petrick!!”

“Eyes over here!”

“Ugh!”

Kinime showed an opening due to Petrick’s unexpected defeat.

Arsia wasn’t an amateur who would miss such an opportunity.

In that split second when Kinime’s attention was diverted elsewhere,

She targeted her blind spot with goblin fire.

Bang bang bang!

“AAAAARGH!!”

The goblin fire that penetrated deeply continued to burn until it completely incinerated Kinime.

Soon after her voice faded, no otherworlders remained alive in the village.

Just three people had completely destroyed an entire order.

“We… we won…”

“Captain!”

Radios collapsed as if he could no longer maintain his strength.

Arsia, who was relatively unharmed, supported him.

“Was this worth pushing yourself so hard? You could have just worn the goblin mask and fired Twilight Swords from the beginning!”

“I wanted to see how strong I really was…”

“Do you know you almost died? We’re lucky one level of the seal was released, or it could have been disastrous!”

“…Sorry.”

Hearing Arsia’s scolding words,

Radios couldn’t find anything to rebut, so he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

Seeing his attitude, she inwardly heaved a deep sigh.

Right. Radios had always lived like this.

“Still… I’m glad you didn’t die. I was really worried…”

“Thanks for believing in me, Arsia.”

“I didn’t believe you, I knew you were trying to do something crazy!”

“…Sorry.”

“There you go with ‘sorry’ again. Is that all you know? ‘Sorry’ and ‘I apologize’? Well, I guess you know ‘my regrets’ too.”

Arsia’s tone quickly changed to sarcasm.

Radios could tell she was feeling psychologically stable.

“What about Brina?”

“She seems to have fainted from accumulated damage.”

“That makes sense.”

Having fought with a goblin’s body, Radios understood.

Even with super-regeneration, damage accumulates in the body.

Pain is felt too, but it’s just a matter of enduring it as if you don’t feel it.

He had learned a lot about goblins from just one fight, which gave him new insights.

“Let’s take Brina and… return to the inn to rest.”

“For about a day… no news will reach headquarters, right?”

“Right. This will probably be our last day to rest freely.”

He plans to send a warning.

That the Guardian Spirit has returned, and otherworlders should be on alert.

He won’t use Radios’s name.

That name will only be used once all seals are released.

But he could instinctively sense it.

‘At this rate… if I release the fourth seal, I might surpass my prime.’

Even though he had only released the third seal.

Thanks to the experience he had accumulated so far, he already had power similar to a legion commander.

At this point, many of the restrictions on his activities were essentially lifted.

“Let’s rest for now. I’ll carry Brina, so please check if there are any surviving stragglers.”

“Understood!”

Radios carried Brina to the inn, Arsia checked for any remaining enemies.

They entered a period of rest, and a day passed.

“Yaaaawn…”

“Did you sleep well?”

“Yes, thanks to you.”

Brina greeted the morning with a big yawn and got up.

She had regained consciousness by the time they arrived at the inn.

She immediately went to wash up and then fell asleep.

According to Arsia, she had been fighting like crazy when suddenly a huge light appeared, and she lost consciousness.

Radios had taken care of Brina, so she felt grateful to him.

“Thank you, big brother Las. Thanks to you, I got to have such a valuable experience.”

“You really worked hard yesterday. I wish I could give you some kind of reward, but I don’t have anything suitable.”

“But you do?”

“What?”

“Your stick.”

“..?”

Brina pointed at a certain part of Radios with a very innocent face.

Radios turned pale and sputtered.

“B-Brina! What are you saying?!”

“Come on, don’t act like you don’t know.”

“You’re a minor!”

One wrong move and it’s jail time!

Why is she suddenly making sexual jokes?!

“But I heard it’s really amazing.”

“Who said that?!”

“The uncles and aunties. When they go into a room together, it’s like… oh… good.”

“…”

At Brina’s thumbs-up, Radios was left speechless.

Unlike other goblins, he thought she was normal.

He was glad her greed wasn’t too great.

But… to be abnormal in this particular area.

‘What the hell were these goblin bastards doing in front of a child!’

In reality, Brina had just seen it out of curiosity, but Radios had no way of knowing this.

Anyway, after that conversation that made his face burn.

Radios called Arsia and they began their meeting.

“So… we write ‘Guardian Spirit’ in the town square and leave?”

“Yes. This is a warning that the Guardian Spirit has returned.”

An Apostle had died.

More precisely, the main forces of the Tulcha Order headquarters had been completely destroyed.

It’s the perfect incident to awaken a sense of crisis among the otherworlders.

“Honestly, even resting for a day carried some risk. If the goblins hadn’t been causing trouble…”

“We should thank the chief for that.”

The reason Radios’s group could rest in the village was because

The goblins had been causing trouble all over Kadinant.

The so-called Pepe Colony Incident.

They drew a giant frog on the walls of major orders and left the message:

[From this moment, this place is ruled by the Goblin Minor Gallery. Like if you agree lol]

It wasn’t just an ordinary graffiti incident.

If it had been just graffiti, that would be one thing, but for some reason, it couldn’t be erased.

As a result, they had to demolish the order’s main castle.

It truly revealed the goblins’ execution ability and craziness in full detail.

“By now they’ll be thinking something’s wrong. Since the connection with Petrick has been cut, they’ll think something bad happened.”

We’re the ones controlling the situation now.

Radios, who activated the Sword of Judgment, had surpassed his prime.

He had a powerful ally in Brina and the goblins backing him.

With such a formidable force behind him,

The three major orders—

The Order of the Boundary Dweller, Yog-Sothoth.

The Order of the Crawling Chaos, Nyarlathotep.

The Order of the Witch of Dreams, Idra.

Unless they dispatch troops, there’s no chance of being caught.

So what should they do after sending the warning?

To Arsia’s question, Radios opened his mouth as if it were obvious.

“We disappear. For three months.”

“Disappear…? Why now of all times?”

“We’re already defeated soldiers. Creating fear won’t be as easy as you might think.”

The Guardian Spirit has returned and destroyed the Tulcha Order.

It’s scary to hear, but not enough to make people tremble.

So Radios came up with a plan.

“We need to create the feeling of the calm before the storm. And when they start to forget…”

“We appear like predators snatching prey and create a big incident? I like it.”

Arsia also used her foresight and determined it was safe.

It’s been almost a month since they were reincarnated and started moving actively.

Releasing the third seal in just a month is a great achievement.

But conversely, they could also tell how far the fourth seal was.

Even after killing someone with a demigod’s order, only one level of the seal disappeared.

It’s hard to imagine how many more enemies they’ll have to kill.

But one thing is certain.

When the fifth seal is released, Radios will far surpass his prime.

Perhaps with the power of the goblin mask, he might even be able to wield divine power.

‘I wonder how Hades would react if I really wielded divine power.’

For some reason, the image of a stupid old man with his mouth wide open comes to mind.

Anyway.

“To summarize, our next goal is to disappear and train. As an elite few, we need to build our strength to prepare for unexpected situations.”

“What about the lower strength!”

“…”

A strange comment suddenly popped up.

Arsia looked puzzled at Brina’s innocent face.

But Radios, having already heard countless sexual jokes from the mouth of this minor,

Could only put his hand on his head and shake it from side to side.

“For now… our hiding place will be the ruins of Hermes Temple. It’s a place where we can escape immediately if discovered.”

“Sounds good. When do we leave?”

“Now.”

With those words, Radios got up from his seat.

Not long after, the group left the village without a trace.

Time passed, and two days later.

“Stop! From here on, we might see the criminals who destroyed the order!”

Another order in Noslet, the Order of the Extreme Fist Monarch, Apum Ja.

They had dispatched troops after hearing that the Tulcha Order had been destroyed.

As a result, they were now witnessing the village that had been devastated by Radios.

“A-Apostle! That is!”

“…Damn it.”

The Apostle of Apum Ja and his troops who were searching the village.

They swallowed hard as they looked at the letters painted in blood on a huge rock.

“Contact… Lady Ihyun…”

The Apostle of Apum Ja struggled to speak as he looked at the rock.

“They… have returned…”

The letters carved into the rock read:

[Guardian Spirit.]
