“Brother. Come behind me!”

This time too, Da-ju takes the lead in the fight.

Bloodied believers, hit by multiple shotguns, are pushed back en masse.

Even though he ran out of ammunition, Dazhu doesn’t stop.

Phew!

Daju kicks the approaching believer in the chest.

“Brother!”

“Don’t worry, I’m here!”

I swung my sword and took care of one guy.

I didn’t even have time to look around.

The Foundation’s strategy was as powerful as it was simple.

They create cloned humans and corrupt them under the influence of the ‘Fifth Apostle’ to mass produce ‘bloody believers’.

There was no escape from the constantly pouring water.

“Eww!”

“Kkaaah!”

One side of the wall was breached.

Several believers grab a man and begin to tear his limbs apart.

A man screams in agony as his limbs are torn off while he is still alive.

Blood is spurting out.

Here too. There too.

Blood becomes the material for idols.

The believers begin to draw patterns with the blood they obtained from the fight.

The ‘Fifth Apostle’ descends here.

– We need to stop drawing patterns.

A familiar voice rings in my head.

It was Se-rim’s older sister.

– And Dabin.

“It’s on the left!”

I turned my head towards where the voice was coming from.

Far away. Sister Se-rim waves her hand in the crowd.

Sister Se-rim is holding Shim Ji-hee’s hand with her other hand.

The mother and daughter held each other’s hands and led everyone.

– Those in the back, please help us rebuild the barrier!

– You have to move the beds and furniture to make a barricade!

Even with Shim Ji-hee by my side with her amplifying effect, it wasn’t easy to convey my thoughts to everyone gathered in this space.

In addition, the influence of the ‘Fifth Apostle’ is eroding people’s minds.

“Dabin! You have to come this way!”

… … My sister needs me.

My sister can only feel a little bit more at ease if I’m by her side.

But now the distance is too far.

The believers surround the area so thickly that it is difficult to break through alone.

Still, it’s something that must be done.

The only thing that can prevent Sister Se-rim from mentally breaking down is me.

“I’ll be there right away!”

And one more thing.

I could tell this without even having to hear it.

Sister Se-rim is preparing something.

Perhaps, he would use his ability to interfere with the thoughts of others to the fullest extent possible to knock out and knock out the believers all at once.

After using your abilities to that extent, your mind becomes very fragile.

Then comes the moment when you have to endure with will alone.

It is also possible to be brainwashed by the fifth apostle in an instant.

So, Se-rim needs me.

I have to help from the side.

“Die!”

A voice shouting wildly rings in my ears.

I immediately duck down, and the bloody body of a believer rushing towards me passes right over my head.

The next moment, when I was about to get up again.

I lost my balance when my arm was grabbed.

“… … !”

If you fall to the floor like this, you will definitely lose your life.

I could tell as I got closer to the bottom.

Only then can the screams of those who were lying face down on the ground and being trampled are heard.

“Ah.”

A single sigh escapes from his mouth.

Just before I fall to the floor, the grip that was holding my body loosens.

“Hey. Im Da-bin! Wake up quickly!”

Seok Hyun-min was standing holding a paroo.

Paru drew another arc in the air, and more blood spurted out.

after.

Taking a deep breath, Seok Hyun-min looks at the person next to him.

It was Heo Yun.

“Sister! Clear the way for Dabin!”

“Okay!”

Heo Yoon, who was next to Seok Hyeon-min, quickly runs towards him.

As he came in from the side, Heo Yun roughly tackled a believer who was blocking his path and knocked him down.

Taang!

Daju finishes reloading and starts taking down the believers with the shotgun again.

But that’s the story at the front line.

While Daju fought to establish a somewhat tenable line of defense at the front, believers were constantly pushing in from where I was.

– Dabin… … . I need a girl with black hair!

Sister Se-rim’s voice.

– That’s the only way to change the situation! Those of you nearby, please help!

Shim Ji-hee’s voice rings in my head one after another.

I took out my pistol and took care of one more guy.

All I see around me is scenes of fighting.

Each of the people with special abilities is making the most of their abilities.

To survive.

A female superpowered person with telekinesis.

The bodies of several believers float into the air and then crash down hard to the ground.

Another male power user with telekinesis.

A heavy metal ball moves quickly through the air, shattering the heads of the apostles.

Thanks to that, the path was opened up for a moment.

I ran down that road quickly.

Just a little more.

Just go a little further.

Believers pour in, as if they will not tolerate even the slightest empty space.

What was even more problematic was the condition of my body.

I thought this kind of thing was familiar.

Whether it’s because he’s not feeling well or because his stamina is rapidly declining, he’s now panting as if he’s almost dying.

“Ugh. Gasp.”

I force air into my lungs, which feel like they’re going to burst.

Heart and head deprived of oxygen.

My body feels like it might collapse at any moment.

“Ms. Dabin.”

Another familiar voice.

I raised my head.

“I’ll protect you around here.”

It was Robin.

Robin quickly throws one of the believers over his shoulder as he charges towards him, then grabs another’s arm and breaks the joint.

Bloody believers fall down in front of her.

It’s not for nothing that Robin is the leader of the Foundation, he’s practically invincible in one-on-one combat.

He doesn’t even show any signs of being tired or out of breath.

Again, the road was open.

“Dabin! Let’s go!”

I gritted my teeth and ran.

One guy got in front of me, but I was able to take him out with my pistol.

Clank-

I’m out of bullets.

Instead of killing the bastard, dodge its attacks with flowing movements.

“Phew… … . Ugh… … .”

“Ugh… … .”

Now I know.

The reason why my body got tired quickly.

This space was already under the influence of the ‘Fifth Apostle’.

People fought as best they could, but they did not survive.

Their blood and flesh were dismantled by the believers and reassembled into the idol of the ‘Fifth Apostle’.

It is visible from a distance.

A huge lump of flesh.

Red flesh is attached to the bones in the shape of an inverted cross.

The waves spread out around it.

The waves were increasingly building up negative emotions in people’s minds.

Slowly descend into madness.

To give up resistance and just sit back.

So that I can no longer live.

“Take it.”

Someone hands me a paroo.

“It’s not over yet.”

The one who handed me the weapon.

The nameless man disappears into the crowd again.

The blood of the mad believers spurted out, and the only traces left were their cries.

“… … .”

Still gasping for breath, he looked down at the Paru in his hand.

Having the will does not grant you immortality.

But as long as we have the will, we do not simply disappear.

The Paru is moderately heavy and has a good center of gravity.

I swung my newly acquired weapon and took down one more believer.

“… … I’m really dying.”

“Sister. There’s not much left. Just go that far.”

Before I knew it, Jeong Hae-won was there.

“Hey. Jeong Hae-won. I… … . Let’s rest for a bit.”

“No!”

“I’m not saying I’m giving up.”

The serious guy’s expression is quite funny.

“Go ahead and fight. I’ll rest.”

“… … No.”

As I said this with a smile, Jeong Hae-won also smiled faintly.

“Sister, are you a gangster?”

“Don’t tell me to talk. My heart feels like it’s going to burst.”

After a long struggle, I was finally able to reach Sister Se-rim.

Se-rim and Shim Ji-hee. And Ye-bin, who is by their side, who I don’t know when they met.

Shim Ji-hee quickly grabs my hand and explains the plan.

“From now on, Selim will use his powers to knock people out. You said it’s a strategy you’ve used a few times before. Right?”

“Yes.”

“And after that, Dabin has to take on some of the burden that Se-rim is under. You know this too, right?”

“Yes.”

“Ah. And there’s one more thing. Yebin. You’re a person with special powers, right?”

“… … .”

Yebin is shy even in this situation.

Instead, I answered.

“Yes. It seems to be the ability to connect thoughts. But it’s only connected to me, so it probably won’t help this time.”

“No, it can help you a lot.”

While still holding onto Sister Se-rim’s hand tightly with one hand, Shim Ji-hee gently holds my hand with the other.

“It actually helps a lot.”

Then my hand was placed on top of Yebin’s hand.

“Dabin and Yebin. These two people are sharing Selim’s burden together.”

“I tried it last time, but it didn’t work that well. I think it might be because of the connection speed… … .”

“No, it will work.”

Shim Ji-hee smiles brightly.

In one hand, he is holding Se-rim’s hand. In the other hand, he is holding Ye-bin’s hand.

“Because I’m here.”

This way, both Se-rim and Ye-bin’s abilities will be amplified at the same time.

Now, all that remains is my role.

Sister Se-rim reaches out to me.

“Dabin, hold my hand.”

“Yes, sister.”

In my left hand, I hold Se-rim’s hand.

He held Yebin’s hand in his right hand.

In the middle of the battlefield, we formed a circle.

“Now, I’m going to finish it in one go. Are you ready?”

Sister Se-rim looks at me and says.

The hands we hold are warm.

As I nodded, Sister Se-rim then turned her gaze to the side.

“What about Mom?”

“Okay. Let’s get started.”

“Where’s Yebin?”

“I’m ready too.”

“Okay. Let’s start.”

Soon, Sister Se-rim closes her eyes.

It really didn’t take long for my sister’s power to kick in.

dump.

It was like dominoes falling.

All the bloody believers fall down in one blow.

“Huh?”

“What?”

Some even escape from the influence of the ‘Fifth Apostle’.

They come to their senses and look around with blank faces.

The supernatural beings of the worldwide occult association did not miss the opportunity.

He pushes away the ‘believers’ who have fallen to the ground, confirming their deaths.

The idols that had already been erected were brutally destroyed, and the wounded were taken to the rear.

After a while.

Another fight began.

Negative thoughts are coming my way.

All sorts of sadness and frustration come flooding into my head, along with the urge to run out and destroy something right now.

Even in that situation, I tried my best to remain calm.

Because Se-rim and Ye-bin were by my side.

I managed to do it somehow.

“Okay, Dabin. It’s okay now.”

“Just a little more.”

“Why. Do you want to keep holding my sister’s hand?”

“Yes.”

When I answered right away, Serim, who was trying to tease me, got embarrassed and her face turned red.

“Just a little more. I’ll hold on. So that it won’t be hard for you.”

“What about Yebin? Isn’t it hard?”

Yebin also seems to be enduring it.

Yebin answers, maintaining her usual expressionless expression.

“I’m okay too. This much.”

“Thank goodness… … .”

I can feel the strength in the hand that is holding Se-rim’s hand.

“Thank you so much. Everything.”

Me and Se-rim, Ye-bin, and Shim Ji-hee.

A shadow appears before us as we hold hands.

A giant paper wall.

It was a new box from the foundation.
