“Hey guys, where are you from?”

Jisoo approaches them carefully, one step at a time.

Then the twin girls hid behind the boy’s shoulder.

A look of caution towards her.

Jisoo tried to smile at that sight.

“Is your house near here?”

The boy calmly shook his head at her words.

And he held the girl’s hand.

At that moment.

“Okay, wait a minute. Guys!”

The children began to run away at a fast pace like animals.

Towards the empty hallway.

Jisoo blankly stared at his back.

She suddenly felt it.

That heterogeneous speed.

Physical abilities that are hard to believe for a child.

I feel like I’ve seen this a lot.

“!!!”

Jisoo, who had a blank expression for a moment, soon realized something.

Siho’s physical abilities.

It feels similar to her being as fast as a fox.

The ranker, who realized something, quickly started chasing after the children.

I ran down the precarious 45th floor hallway and turned the corner.

And then I climbed up the rubble of the building that was connected to the punctured ceiling.

As I climbed up to the ceiling, the roof of the building suddenly came into view.

It was clearly Songdo covered in fog.

However, when I went up to the rooftop on the 45th floor, a ray of warm sunlight was pouring down onto the rooftop.

Before she knew it, she had risen above the dark clouds.

Thanks to this, the view is very good even though it is outdoors.

Jisoo found the children who ran away thanks to the light.

Children running towards a cliff.

At that sight, Jisoo’s golden eyes sparkle.

“Guys, it’s dangerous over there…!”

Jisoo quickly followed the children who had moved away.

but…

She soon had no choice but to instinctively stop walking.

A white silhouette appears in the direction the children ran to.

The moment she saw that silhouette, her intuition told her that she was a ranker.

It’s dangerous to come any closer.

“… !”

A white-haired man sitting on a cliff with his upper body bare.

He had huge wings on his back.

A white and beautiful appearance like an angel.

Skin as white as a plaster statue.

Beautiful muscle form like a Greek statue.

The children who gathered under him.

They pointed to the index they were chasing with their fingers.

Thanks to that, even the stone statue-like man raised his head.

And then he looked at Jisoo with his eerie red eyes.

“… .”

A strange gaze.

A drop of sweat runs down Jisoo’s forehead as she meets his gaze.

“Da, who are you?”

“… .”

When asked who he was, the stone statue did not readily answer.

Instead, he sent the children behind him.

At that moment, Jisoo’s lips parted at the bizarre scene she had never seen before.

The sight unfolding behind the muscular man was….

Because it was so unrealistic that I couldn’t believe it.

Debris from a collapsed rooftop.

The debris floated into the sky, forming an aerial staircase.

And the stairs led towards a ray of sunlight streaming through the dark clouds.

The children run up the stairs with deft steps.

As if they were returning to their own home.

Jisoo could only watch them moving away.

Then, suddenly, I came to my senses at the sight of a man blocking the stairs.

He stands blocking the stairs like a gatekeeper.

He’s like the gatekeeper of heaven.

“Go back. This is not a place for ordinary people.”

A normal human?

Does that mean that the children and myself from earlier are not human?

It is said that the world is originally ruled by monsters and people use their abilities… .

The current situation is so bizarre that it’s hard to believe.

“Okay, but let me ask you one thing instead.”

But, there is no way backing out here.

Perhaps the only clue to finding Park Shin-ae, she asked bravely.

“Is Park Shin-ae in there by any chance?”

“Rep. Park Shin-ae… ?”

The angel tilted his head.

Then, something suddenly occurred to him, so he opened his eyes slightly and glared at Jisoo.

“No way… Are you talking about the prophet now?”

“Prophet?”

Jisoo furrowed her eyebrows at the words that sounded like something straight out of the Bible.

Then, soon, as if he realized something, he clenched his molars.

“I see, you were hiding there?”

The reason why I couldn’t find her even after searching all over Songdo until now.

The reason why there was no trace even though a new government was formed.

Now all the puzzle pieces fit together.

Because her home base wasn’t on land in the first place.

It was in the sky.

And this crumbling building was the link between the ground and her home base.

“… .”

“I’m sorry, but I need you to open the way.”

Jisoo walked confidently towards him.

Then the angel shook his head firmly.

He stretched his left hand into the air.

At that moment.

Jisoo stopped walking on the shaking rooftop floor.

Because the angel’s outstretched hand was equipped with a huge lance.

And the lance burst through the rooftop floor.

Like the sword that pierced Na-Hyeon, the lance was also made of bone.

“I warn you. If you come one step closer, I will destroy you.”

The angel’s massive lance is aimed at Jisoo.

It was so large that it cast a shadow across Jisoo’s entire body.

but….

Jisoo did not back down.

Is it because of the shadow’s overwhelming size?

Instead, her golden eyes sparkled even more.

“I’m the one warning you. If you don’t get out of the way, I’ll burn everything down.”

Jisoo’s tone of speech changed.

She no longer spoke politely to those who had kidnapped Siho.

“￣￣￣!”

A giant bone lance.

The lance rises toward the sky.

Soon, it struck the ground with a sound so fierce that it tore through the air.

“—!”

How great was the power.

A corner of the rooftop floor collapses.

Thanks to this, the appearance of the 44th floor she climbed up is clearly revealed.

However, Jisoo did not give in to this.

She has faced numerous rankers so far.

No more backing down.

He pulled out his greatsword.

The moment he pulled it out, an intense flame enveloped the blade.

Gradually, her eyes also turned crimson.

Stand tall against the oncoming lance.

And the moment the two blades clash.

A vibration so strong that it shook the heavens echoed throughout the world.

A lance several times thicker than a longsword.

The thick thickness pushes the index’s sword.

The power is so strong that both of Jisoo’s hands holding the sword tremble.

Enough to twist my wrist.

“Ugh… .”

Overwhelming difference in power.

12 and 08, which I’ve played against so far.

It’s on a different level from them.

It feels like I’m holding up a collapsing building all by myself.

The soles of Jisoo’s feet, which had been holding on firmly, began to gradually sink.

yet.

“￣￣￣￣.”

The rooftop floor where Jisoo was standing soon collapses.

Thanks to that, she ended up going down with the pouring debris.

“… .”

The angel stared down at the debris that had poured down to the 44th floor.

And I muttered alone, feeling no more presence.

“I have to tell the prophet. I have to close the entrance.”

He tried to leisurely walk back towards the air stairs, still clutching the lance.

but.

I turned my head at the small sound I felt again.

“This… !”

In a split second, a black shadow falls over him.

I raised my face to follow the shadow.

Finally he saw.

Jisoo, whose whole body was covered in flames.

She leaped into the air with her eyes wide like an animal’s.

And then he swung his long sword straight towards the angel’s head.

At that sight, the angel’s open eyes also sparkle.

He quickly raised his lance and blocked her sword.

This time, the angel tried to strike Jisoo’s sword with overwhelming force.

But this time, the index was different.

“I’m sick of being stuck on the ground…!”

Highly compressed flame.

A sword blade sharpened in flames.

The blade dug relentlessly into the angel’s lance.

As a result, the bone blade gradually began to crack.

When the angel heard that sound, he grabbed the sword he had been holding with one hand with both hands.

And then he hit the index hard as if he was swinging a bat.

“—!”

Index thrown into the air along with the sword.

However, she focused the flames towards the soles of her feet.

It stops the flying body through its ignition power.

And then he threw his whole body towards the cracked angel’s lance again.

No matter how much he pushed and pushed with overwhelming force.

Keep rushing.

Like a moth to a flame.

Even the angel who had been steadfast until now began to feel bewildered at that sight.

The more they clash swords, the greater the shock will be felt by Jisoo, who is an ordinary human being.

However, she kept on rushing so hard that every nerve in her face stood out.

“Why are you doing this…!”

Jisoo didn’t answer his question.

Because she no longer saw such a watchman in her eyes.

Only the title.

A kiss left with the word friendship.

After that, he left with tears in his eyes.

It was just my stupid self who couldn’t catch that sight.

“What kind of grudge do you have against the prophet!!”

The angel also clenched his teeth.

And then he swung his lance towards Jisoo’s sword with all his might.

Two long swords clashing.

Could it be because the shock was stronger than ever?

A murderous vibration shakes the heavens.

So much so that all the glass windows left on the roof of the building were broken.

But it wasn’t just the fragile glass that broke.

Lance, who has been cracked so far.

And the index’s longsword.

It broke at the same time.

Jisoo’s face rushes in between the broken blades.

Her blazing crimson eyes reach the angel.

The ranker who had come close spoke to him softly.

“There’s someone I need to meet.”

A sad excuse called friendship.

I hurt that kid again by making him lie.

Both of them were left bare-handed.

The angel raised his fist and tried to swing it at the digging index.

Now that both sides are out of weapons.

Rather, I thought that I would have an advantage because I had the physical advantage.

But he soon realized.

That the index is not a simple test.

She was still holding the broken sword.

The moment the broken sword was raised into the air.

Flames rose above the half-remaining blade.

As if containing her anger, the flame took the shape of a giant sword.

“So give me back my nickname, you motherfuckers!”

A flaming sword as large as an angel’s lance.

It was thrust down with all its might towards his body.

yet.

His massive body was split in half.

A fierce flame bursts out through the gap.

Thanks to this, his body, as white as a plaster statue, turned to black ash and fell to the floor.

“Sigh… .”

The index soon landed on the floor.

But, perhaps it was because most of my strength had been exhausted.

My legs gave out without any strength.

Soon she collapses helplessly on the roof.

And then he covered his eyes with the back of his hand and took a few deep breaths.

Light pours in through the gaps between the hands.

I looked at the light with half-open eyes.

The stairway to heaven that the children climbed.

There is a poem above.

However, the index did not go up there right away.

I just waited.

Until the enemy and Anna return.

Because both of them are people that Siho loves.

I firmly believed that we would definitely save her together.
