“There is noise everywhere you go these days.”

I lowered the sunglasses I was wearing, frowned, and looked at the place where the explosion sound had just come from.

I don’t know where this is.

Of course, I knew that this was somewhere in the southern country, but I didn’t know the exact location.

“Ha, it’s been a while since you had a vacation, but this is happening again… .”

I had made a promise to Yoon Sia in the past.

After everything is over, let’s go on a trip somewhere together. Then let’s forget everything and just enjoy the leisure time in an ordinary and pure way.

About three years have already passed since I returned. Some may say that it is not a very long time, but it is a time that is difficult to consider as short.

In other words, I also had no free time for three years. As if he had just fallen into this world, he went out and wielded a great sword.

From monsters that came out of the opponent’s gate, to demons, to be more precise, guardians who regained their sense of self.

And before you know it, you feel like you can’t help but rest a little.

I tried my best to keep my promise to her, but somehow Jang A-hyeon joined in, and my vacation turned into something similar to a large caravan with so many people gathered together.

And I was dragged by the two guys and boarded the plane without even knowing the location.

And then we arrived at the beach of this southern country… .

“It seems like it’s not just mine. There are even followers who follow them.”

Jang A-hyun, who was wearing the same model couple sunglasses as me, stood up from the beach bench and frowned.

The sound of the explosion tearing through the air still resonates loudly. At the same time, people on the beach start to run away in panic.

How does this scene appear to these people now?

Some people are probably panicking because they think that a demon attack has hit this small island, while others are probably relieved that they are safe because there are quite a lot of people with magical abilities here.

Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta.

Should I say airborne troops? Dozens of soldiers in great special warfare uniforms jumped out of the helicopter and surrounded me. It was a sight that was hard to imagine happening on a peaceful tropical beach, so I watched the scene in silence, fiddling with my sunglasses.

The guns pointed at me were a complete set of weapons, including several machine guns, heavy machine guns that were too heavy for a person to carry, and numerous support weapons.

Judging from the fact that each muzzle has a magical response, most of them are magical firearms. The soldiers holding them in their hands and looking at me felt like they were specialists.

Soldiers of various ages, from young men to middle-aged men to elderly men with a cold, cold-blooded look.

I can’t be sure because I don’t know their rank insignia, but it was clear that they had dragged out all the special talents who wanted to fight, whether they were soldiers, executives, or officers.

Look at those eyes looking at me.

It’s clear that they came to kill me. My eyes narrowed as I received such hostile gaze.

“We finally met, Northmund.”

A voice full of hostility but paradoxically sounds sweet. Even though she was wearing the same uniform as the soldiers, the woman looked so out of place that it could be mistaken for a dress.

A woman who feels as if her entire body is wrapped in mystery. The two eyes, which were beautiful but gave off a hostile gaze, were a blood-red garnet color so deep that it was difficult to believe they were human.

“There was a huge crowd. I don’t mind targeting me, but isn’t it a bit rude to follow me on my vacation after a long time?”

“I will avenge Gailok.”

“Did you follow me here just to say that? It’s a bit disappointing.”

“Yes, you guy!”

I know her identity. This is a guy who was a subordinate of Gailok, who was defeated previously. Of course, it’s a demon, not a human.

It looked like a human and was very beautiful, but I felt like something shining white was coming out of the atmosphere and trying to strangle me. At least among humans, there is no one who gives off that kind of vibe.

No, it is like the other side of a sense of heterogeneity that can be expressed because it has lost something that any intelligent being, regardless of whether it is human or not, has lost something.

“Tsk. It’s been a bother.”

I stood up from the bench with my legs crossed over the Aloha shirt I was wearing with my sunglasses folded up and clenched my fists.

“I’ll finish it within 10 seconds. Mine.”

bang!

Just as he was about to throw his fist at her, a huge explosion occurred.

The explosion that occurred earlier was probably caused by her ability. Just when she thought it was just a surface-to-air missile bombardment from the helicopter she was riding in, the protagonist himself showed off his abilities.

Hwaaa!

Burning the air, she flew into the sky. And the huge pair of flames that unfolded behind them clearly resembled wings.

And every time those wings flap… .

Kwaaang!

… A huge explosion occurs.

“Oh wow.”

With a small exclamation, I retrieved the shield I had deployed. If there had been other guys here, they would have turned into white bones and died on the spot.

Na-man thought that by absorbing divine power, she had become stronger than before. This is because I felt that a considerable amount of magical power was being drained away in defense of the current attack.

To put it into perspective, it felt like I was hit directly by a missile of tens of megatons.

How do you know? That’s because while dealing with demons, I’ve been hit by modern aircraft attacks like that a few times.

Demons are evil things that sneak into human society and increase their followers in exchange for their power. Most of its followers are high-ranking people in society who have power.

It’s not at the level of Big Brother, who rules the world, but it’s far beyond what an ordinary individual can compete with.

Well, I’ve destroyed most of them now.

“It’s quite strong. The Omega-level demon wasn’t bluffing.”

But I don’t back down. It’s not that I don’t know how to back down. Although I am a bit reckless, I am not upright enough to stand firm in such a situation.

It’s just that there is no need to back down from the current situation.

“Three years have passed since then, but I still don’t know.”

“… What are you talking about?”

“I still don’t know my limits. Because this divine power was acquired so suddenly.”

“Ugh!?”

Wings of flame spewing out from her back.

The color of her wings, which were burning the air and fluttering their tongues, began to turn a dark red.

Her eyes, staggering in the air due to the sudden phenomenon, pass by my hand movements.

A large, clenched fist extended towards her.

There is probably no one here right now who would not have noticed that it was just that hand movement that brought about her change.

This is what extraterrestrial ability is.

Because everything was given from the great being in the first place. This magical power that fills the Earth. The divine power that flowed into this world after being handed over from a great being.

In the end, since I inherited it, all of its currents flow around my will.

Paang!

Her flame wings are violently ripped off, and Icarus, who lost his wings, falls to the ground.

“Maybe it will work. Could it be possible to kill Northmund? It’s a pity, because I must have come with that thought in mind.”

“Aaaa!”

Her emotional ups and downs were so severe that one thought she had schizophrenia. This time it’s hate. Her own death was imminent, but instead of fear, her lips trembled pale with hatred.

“What are you doing! Shoot! Shoot! Turn Northmund into a beehive!”

After screaming loudly, he gives orders to the soldiers he brought in with venomous eyes.

In fact, the soldiers she brought with them were frozen with their guns pointed this way. The supernatural power she displayed was so absurd that I was dumbfounded as I watched it.

They were pointing their guns at me, but their eyes were all frozen on the woman who had lost her wings.

“Ah.”

And the silence was broken by her command, and the shooting started towards me.

“So… Shoot! Fire!”

“Bar, open fire! Ouch!”

My eyes widen. The light bullet coming from behind me immediately started piercing their heads.

“Wow!”

“Kuok!”

A woman with long black hair flew in without even leaving an afterimage and began tearing them apart. All he did was take a quick breath and pull his foot, but it flew at a speed close to the speed of sound and appeared on the spot, sending a shock wave right in the middle of them.

How much training and hardship was put into that body to achieve this level of physical ability? Yun Shia wore a swimsuit that matched the tropical beach vibe, but her hands were very cruel.

Every time her fist swings, a fully armed soldier is turned into pieces by the shock wave, and her downward kick, as if it were an industrial press machine, loses its human form and is crushed to pieces.

“Uh, uhhh!”

The soldiers immediately fall into confusion at the sight that goes beyond their common sense.

An elderly man who appears to be an officer standing in the back looks at them with a shocked expression and thinks about how to respond, but from their perspective as ordinary soldiers, there is no way they can come up with a way to deal with such an extreme situation.

No matter how elite or special forces they are, they are literally conventional forces with no way to respond to attacks that go beyond common sense.

I don’t know if the shocked-looking officer only realized that fact now, but they were groomsmen from the beginning.

Because their numbers were just numbers, not against humans but against people with special abilities.

One side of Mine’s face, which had been screaming in anger, distorts as she sees this.

I ran over and punched her on the left side of her face.

“Aaaah!”

As she screamed, the torn off wings began to rise from her back again.

but

“It’s a futile effort.”

As she was holding out hope in vain, he slapped her cheek and snapped his fingers, and her body swayed at the sight of the wings of flame turning into embers again.

Is it the shock that made me blush so hard, or is it because I lost my senses and thought it was ridiculous at such a vain sight?

Seeing her lose her movement and become dazed.

“Goodbye. May you rest in peace.”

“Ah, ah.”

My fist contains the repulsive force of an explosion, as if it were going through a storm. Her body, which had stopped moving in shock, was thrown upwards.

Wow.

I heard a sound that was hard to believe that I had hit a living creature.

Her body was literally broken into dozens of pieces and thrown into the sky.

*

“Ha.”

I shook off my blood-soaked hands and let out a sigh of displeasure.

In fact, in terms of eradicating demons, it would be good if they approached me first.

It would be easier for me if they came and died like this, rather than hiding in society and making themselves difficult to find.

But now I’ve come to keep my promise to them, right?

It’s been a while since I was off duty, so I tried to rest, but it was extremely unpleasant, as if work orders kept coming in the company’s group chat room.

“Hehe.”

“?”

I can hear Yoon Sia grinning from afar. The dozens of soldiers who faced her had all lost their original forms and turned into hideous figures.

A sight that would have made an intolerant person feel nauseous as if they had just seen hell and run straight to the bathroom.

She was covered in blood and was running towards us, smiling and waving her hands.

“That woman. Isn’t it a bit scary, Professor? eww… .”

“It’s not that it’s terrible, but, um, it’s a bit unrealistic.”

“Right? It looks like the climax scene of a cheap splatter movie.”

The moment I forgot what to say for a moment out of embarrassment, I felt a hand lifting me up from underneath me, and while I was shaking, I was grabbed by Sia’s arms and lifted up.

And in an instant, my body fell into the beach with her, and with her hand embracing me, I felt a crunching sensation on my back.

“Hehe, Professor! Let’s wash together. The professor is also covered in blood.”

“Ah, huh. Sia, I’m glad you’re safe too.”

“Huh? There’s no way I could fall for something like that, right?”

As Sia said that, she released her arms that were hugging me, took a step back, and looked into my eyes. She caught my bewildered gaze and smiled again.

How long has it been since I saw her face like this?

Even after coming back, I feel sorry for not being able to take care of her properly during my busy days.

“Thank you, Professor.”

“What do you mean?”

“It was just a passing promise, but thank you for not forgetting it. I am so happy that you brought me here.”

“That’s a promise, isn’t it obvious? There is no way I can forget it.”

Actually, I didn’t bring it, but Jang A-hyeon rented the plane.

Of course, I wasn’t a fan of walls and windows to the extent of saying that.

Then, upon hearing what I said, she laughed and spun around in the water.

“As expected, I’m glad I met you, professor.”

“… .”

” This feeling is not unreasonable. The professor who helped me for the first time that winter. And the professor who was not prejudiced against me and never gave up on me until the end. To be honest, I like the professor.”

As I looked at her smiling shyly, saying, “Ehehe,” I felt something boiling over me and was about to approach her.

“Hey there you two! Instead of creating such a mood, please help me clean up!”

Jang A-hyeon’s angry voice was heard, and the brief spark ended with mutual smiles.

And after some time, I returned to my dorm.

It’s also a side note that I had to expend more stamina than when I dealt with the demon woman earlier.
