“···.”

Charurk!

The Bali song dances dizzyingly along Clara’s pale fingers.

The girl, who had been shaking off the blood that had gotten on her face with her hands, clenched her fists and made a shape.

Then he shouts quickly.

There is no mercy in the hands.

Clara thrust her blade into her opponent’s vital spot without a moment’s hesitation.

He pulled the trigger without mercy, without even looking at those trying to enter the tunnel.

“Krrr···!”

The opponent desperately covers his perforated throat with blood dripping from between his lips.

He didn’t even seem to care that he had dropped his weapon on the ground.

He finishes off by using the pistol the girl was holding as a blunt weapon and ──bang!

After that, jump back.

“ The same year like a rat! ”

Kwaaang!!! The place where Clara was standing was destroyed by the big guy’s fist.

The large figures, each equipped with a sturdy prosthetic arm, looked like the Suin brothers that Rohan had mentioned.

‘Yeah, these two are the only ones left···.’

Clara was oblivious to the abuse and pressure spewed out by the criminals.

It’s a place where you don’t need to show social skills, so keep your ears and mouth closed.

You only need to accept the information you want to accept.

Crunch!

The girl who landed on the tunnel saw that the Suin brothers’ prosthetic hand had transformed into a gun.

There is no reason to be surprised.

Clara flew up like a butterfly without stopping.

Wheeing!!! Doo doo doo doo doo──!!!

Dodging bullets from two machine guns like a squirrel.

Check remaining magic power and read the battle situation.

‘Should I use Arachne again? Then the magic power…’

The cleanup is taking longer than expected.

Even though she knows that she shouldn’t add impatience to the battle, the girl is troubled.

Because Rohan is fighting the leader inside the tunnel.

Of course Rohan will win, but Clara wants to help him win without any injuries.

The reason it takes time is simple.

Each and every enemy is not bad in terms of skill. They are on a different level from the humans I met when I first worked with Rohan.

Although the atmosphere of being humanely greedy is common, it shows the power to make people realize that each individual is eating rice from a knife in the dark.

Even if it was possible to kill them in one blow, it was not easy to do so with more than ten of them rushing at them like crazy.

Shh …

The machine gun mounted on my brother’s prosthetic arm stopped firing due to overheating.

Even if I manipulate my arm, it only makes a clicking sound, as if I have used up all the bullets.

widely!

Clara’s momentary distance narrowing as she seizes the opportunity.

The girl’s path, where all the weeds that had been swarming were cut off, regained freedom.

“Fuck! This bitch is fucking fast!”

“Hold on until the recharge!”

The brothers were startled and used the strong prosthetic hand as a shield.

Clara pushed her magic power into the blade, trying to cut off the lifeline with one blow.

The moment the girl pressed the accelerator hard into the flow to make a conclusion.

Phew!

An arrow flew through the stream and hit the ground with a thud.

“···?”

A short arrow suddenly flew out of the tunnel.

It is a familiar weapon to the brothers who escort Doberman, but it has a strange feeling of not having even a speck of magic in it.

“Surely the boss···.”

The brothers watched the figure walking out of the tunnel with wariness.

Clara also stopped and looked at him before showing off her violent stabbing skills.

“It’s not even a toy. What can I use this crossbow for?”

The voice of the person walking out. Clara’s expression brightened.

The brothers, in turn, are astonished.

Rohan carried the sword he had finished using on his back and in one hand he held the crossbow, his prize.

In his other hand he was dragging Doverman’s corpse.

··

··

“Clara. You’ve worked hard.”

“Oh, you had a hard time too, oppa···! Are your wounds okay?”

With Rohan joining, the Bulldog brothers were quickly sorted out.

It was originally destined to be handled by Clara, but with Rohan joining in, the process became easier.

“Just a little scratch.”

Clara pursed her lips as she noticed that part of Rohan’s shirt was stained red.

Fortunately, none of the arrows hit directly. They were all just graze wounds.

“What about Clara?”

“Yeah, I’m fine···.”

Rohan smiled and said that he was glad to see the girl showing him her outerwear, saying that even the borrowed clothes were fine.

A second or so passed since then.

A notification window popped up in front of me.

[Quest completed.]

[Receive rewards.]

The rippling air catches your attention, telling you to take out the random point pouch, which is a quest reward.

But there was a more curious reward for Rohan.

‘What is transcendence? How is it paid?’

I roll my eyes, wondering if there is another void rippling with curiosity.

“!”

As if telling me not to be impatient.

A notification window pops up at a convenient time.

[The first transcendence shines.]

──Whaaa!!! A light flashed before my eyes.

And Rohan encountered a familiar place, even though he was seeing it for the first time.

Not near the tunnel where the corpses were piled up.

‘Here···.’

Somewhere where flames and blades fly to pieces.

They called themselves karma mirrors and reflected the appearance of Rohan all at once.

“!”

Rohan feels his own image reflected in all directions.

It was the satisfaction of finding what I had been desperately looking for my whole life.

Would it be right to describe this sound as pure emotion?

The feeling that your soul is enriched.

The feeling of fullness that filled my heart was something that could not be accurately described in words.

Jjeong!

It breaks. It follows providence.

The brief observation ends, and space flows away.

The original world came into view for Rohan.

[When using Weakness Infliction, there is a low probability of inflicting a debuff. The level of the debuff shares the level of the weakness infliction.]

[Shop skill refresh time is accelerated.]

[The caster is not affected by the flames of the Heavenly Holy Sword.]

‘amazing.’

Rohan clenched and unclenched his fist, savoring the overflowing energy.

I read the notification window.

In Transcendence, increasing physical ability and magical power is a basic option. In addition, unique skills are developed at the same time.

Since it has three unique skills, its growth potential is also great.

‘···.’

Transcendence is proof that I have been a business card and a tin can character up until now.

Transcendence, where 6 is the maximum.

Now one thing has been achieved. The means and directions for becoming stronger have been expanded.

“Brother.”

“Oh, yeah?”

Clara’s voice pierces my ears.

As Rohan regains consciousness and shifts his gaze, the girl asks.

“Brother. What should we do now?”

“I have something in mind.”

Rohan approached the discarded Doberman corpse. Searching through its contents, he found an antique leather pouch.

What he took out from there were two black coins.

I don’t have time to farm each and every corpse lying around, but I had to find these for future reference.

‘I guess we needed one last thing.’

You will need at least three of these coins to take the first step towards Doberman’s grand dream and goal.

Some call it ‘baptism’, some call it ‘grace’.

The guys who collect these have various names on their lips.

The exact name of the item is the Silver Coin of Judah. It is black, but that is the name.

‘good.’

It was a shame that I didn’t have the luxury of emptying my wallet one by one.

Rohan checked the time on his smartphone and headed toward the tunnel where cars were piled up.

Clara followed behind him.

Rohan approached the black sedan that had turned into an open car in Clara’s trap.

I started the car with the stolen keys and opened the trunk to briefly check the weapons piled up there.

“The front is a little wrinkled, but it’s okay. Ta.”

“Brother. Can you drive too···?”

“Of course. I’ll just ride this to the entrance. Let’s go for a drive.”

“D, drive···!”

When Rohan, sitting in the driver’s seat, taps the passenger seat, the girl quickly sits down.

Rohan turned on the seat heater and exited the tunnel.

“It might be a little cold because there is no ceiling or glass.”

“I’m warm, so it’s okay! Let’s go quickly!”

Clara proudly showed off the Rohan coat she was wearing.

Rohan smiled happily at her cuteness and checked the time.

‘Coming soon.’

I want to save Zion quickly. That part is also urgent.

But that’s separate.

There is a natural disaster that occurs in Abyss City if you fail to kill Doberman within the time limit.

If you keep going straight, a small dimensional crack will appear nearby. Dozens of monsters will pour out.

Monsters are always hungry, so they will come after you and sniff out blood. You just have to leave the cleaning up of the corpses and mess to them.

‘If I get caught… well, there’s nothing I can do.’

It’s going to be quite a hassle to give convincing testimony after you’re caught, but it’s not a problem.

Booo!!!

After finishing his thoughts, Rohan stepped on the accelerator.

··

··

Jiiing──!!!

A message arrived just as Rohan was getting out of his car, hiding it near the ruins.

This time there is a red exclamation mark.

[Elysium Police Department: Today at 01:55/ Small-scale dimensional cracks confirmed/ Refrain from going outside/ Report to the Police Department if you see a monster···]

‘good.’

The memory I had was not wrong. Moreover, it was detected because quite some time had passed.

Seeing the ideal and satisfactory results, Rohan walked with Clara.

“Here’s the location that was shown in the message. It’s near where we were just now.”

“Really!?”

“You’re lucky. Things always go well when you’re with Clara.”

“That, that’s right···?”

We delve inside and talk to Clara, who is startled by the message.

Zion will be cleaning this area periodically.

Traces of battle and the remains of useless monsters are common.

Let’s dig deep.

Clara glanced to one side as if she sensed something.

Rohan stopped walking, impressed by the girl’s sense.

“Brother. The magic just now up there···.”

“Yeah. I know. Zion will be there.”

The building where Zion and the Elf Elders will be located.

There is an eye looking this way from over there. It is a type of observation skill.

‘Shall we try?’

The elven elders are from the old Tigrova, a place where bloodline was valued over strength.

It’s not ability. These are people who were born into politics.

They are a tribe with virtually no combat experience, but they are very timid, so they are sure to guard against intruders.

So, if you just get in, you’re halfway there.

So Rohan continued to worry.

How do I get into that building? Is it just a matter of going through all the trouble to get in like in Abyss City?

I thought about it. I pondered it. I worried about it.

As I spent time piling up thoughts, my afflictions bore fruit.

Rohan’s answer came out in a direction that was impossible in the game.

“Clara.”

“Yeah!”

“From now on, you can move based on the mood. If you feel uneasy, just stay behind me.”

“···?”

Rohan asked the girl with the sad face to keep a blank expression.

I walked briskly towards the building.

The magical energy surrounding me is surging, as if something will pour out at any moment.

Rohan opened his mouth with a confident attitude, not caring.

A look of belittling and an overbearing attitude toward others were essential.

“Elder Levin Maxwell!”

A thunderous voice echoed through the ruins.

“Come out now and obey the orders of the Counter-flow Praise Society!”

Rohan showed the black coin he had taken from Doberman.

The path chosen to break through this quest.

It’s impersonation.
