A flood of messages pours down like rain right before your eyes.

‘Huh? Didn’t something strange just pass by?’

Do Yu-jin, who had been staring at the sight with blank eyes, let out a breath of shock when she saw the ominous letters peeking out from the very top of the message.

‘What the hell were those guys trying to do?’

The size of the presence and the scale of the mental wave were much larger than expected, so Do Yu-jin also expected that the person who was about to appear a little while ago would not be an ordinary guy.

But even so, he’s a devil… …

Even though everything was over, I still felt like a cold sweat was running down my back.

‘I’m not kidding, if I had pulled the trigger even just one second later, I would have died… ‘

Even if it had fully revealed itself, it might have been possible for a demon of the lowest level to somehow escape.

But if a demon of intermediate level or higher had appeared, it would have been impossible to wait for the next opportunity like that.

Do Yu-jin has finally gained the power to be called a capable person thanks to her steady growth and overcoming many unintentional adversities, but…

‘The devil is a monster that even if a bunch of people with my level of skill rush in, it would be difficult to properly inflict a single wound on them.’

That guy almost popped out so suddenly, out of nowhere… …

Sigh-

‘This hellish difficulty level really doesn’t allow me to let my guard down for even a moment.’

Do Yu-jin let out a sigh of deep fatigue and collapsed on the spot.

If it were the usual Do Yu-jin, she would have been lying down like that, flipping through the messages that came up a little while ago, and checking what she had just gotten.

But now it was too much.

I was so tired that I had a hard time even rolling my eyes, let alone wiggling my fingers.

To be honest, if I lose consciousness even a little bit, I’ll lose my mind.

But on Do Yu-jin’s lips there was a faint smile that only someone who is truly happy at this moment can have.

‘I’m glad it worked.’

Because the arrow on the roulette wheel that I had spun with great tension was pointing to the word “win” in a very cool way.

‘Hmm… … But I still feel like that railgun is a bit of a waste. I invested all the points I’ve worked hard to save up into making it.’

In fact, the exact value of the railgun that Do Yu-jin used a little while ago was more than the points invested.

It was an incredible thing that was created by gathering together the numerous magic stones, relics, and artifacts that were obtained by raiding the department store in the broken city, and then adding the corpse of the Daitengu and its equipment that Yuna had brought.

Of course, even if the opportunity came again, Do Yu-jin would pull the guy’s trigger without a moment’s hesitation.

In the first place, that railgun was able to produce such an absurd amount of power because it had the [Production] function, leaving only the minimum durability, and was given the condition that it could only fire once.

‘It’s a bit of a shame that I used up all my points, but… well, I gained a lot more than that.’

Thanks to clearing away the demon fragments and receiving a large amount of points, I was able to fill up my empty point bag to some extent.

But that’s not what Do Yu-jin was trying to say now.

The true nature of the gains that Do Yu-jin was talking about now was the level and characteristics that had increased in large quantities this time.

‘I guess you could call it luck.’

As I’ve said before, once you get to a certain level, it becomes insanely difficult to level up or acquire traits.

And Do Yu-jin had already crossed that line.

No one thinks highly of an elementary school student who has just learned to walk.

Likewise, in order to grow further, Do Yu-jin needed to achieve more than what she had achieved so far.

‘So I was worrying about many things, but I never thought I would catch the devil like this.’

Thanks to this, Do Yu-jin was able to achieve rapid growth once again in a short period of time.

Well, it didn’t matter that I didn’t harm the demon’s body.

Because just taking down a small part of the demonic being that was a transcendent being was an achievement worthy of being called a feat.

‘The only thing I’m worried about is that my stats, which were already so damn slow to increase, will now be like hell and won’t increase at all.’

But actually, this wasn’t a big drawback.

Do Yu-jin was already in a state of ruin, having crossed the river of no return a long time ago.

Swish-

Do Yu-jin, who had finished organizing her thoughts, finished her break and got up from her seat.

“Where are you going next?”

Yuna, who saw that sight, opened her mouth like a ghost and grabbed Do Yu-jin.

By the way, the other two were unconscious and collapsed on the ground because they had stretched their limits while summoning a giant storm cloud and lightning.

‘Honestly, I thought Yuna would faint too, but this is unexpected. No, if it’s obvious, then it’s obvious, right?’

When Do Yu-jin was still recalling the image of the huge eyes that were vaguely engraved in her instincts.

“Let’s stop now and go back.”

Yuna said.

“Even your already shabby body has become even shabby because of the wound. Even your shabby dad must already be feeling it.”

“How many times do you have to say “sloppy” when you say something once?”

“Huh! If you don’t want to hear that, you should be healthy like me.”

“You’re lying on the floor, barely able to move your mouth, but you’re still good at talking.”

“It’s better than passing out like a sloppy little brother and not being able to say anything.”

Do Yu-jin chuckled at her shameless answer and patted her head.

At that touch, Yuna furrowed her eyebrows slightly.

An expression that seemed to tell anyone to quickly let go.

But when I lightly scratched her chin on that topic, Yuna narrowed her eyes like a cat and purred softly.

The moment Do Yu-jin was about to slowly pull away from her, looking at her like a full cat, Yu-na spoke again.

“Don’t go.”

It’s different from what I’ve told you so far.

Words full of sincerity, with all the thorns of coquetry gone.

“What are you going to do with such a weak body?”

Her words were correct.

Although he was able to block the impact of the railgun by using the shadow he used to stabilize his body, Do Yu-jin’s body was so thin that it couldn’t even properly withstand the indirect aftereffects.

In fact, even now, Do Yu-jin was in such a precarious state that it wouldn’t have been strange if she had collapsed from even a small shock.

Do Yu-jin had been intuitively sensing this fact through the countless pains piercing through her hazy mind, and Yu-na had noticed it through the string connecting their hearts.

But even if that were true… …

Swish swish-

Instead of saying anything, Do Yu-jin quietly and gently stroked her head.

“Anyway, the worst, not only is it sloppy, it’s also stupid and idiotic… … ”

“Sorry,”

Do Yu-jin apologized honestly.

“I’d like to just faint and collapse, but I still have one thing left to do.”

“If you can’t even take care of yourself, don’t take care of others.”

“You’re not someone else, you’re family, right?”

“Even a sloppy lightning?”

“He’s… …not family, but I can’t let him die here.”

“Tsk, I don’t like it.”

This was stubbornness.

Because of my own shortcomings, I brought my child to this dangerous place.

‘If that’s the case, then at least it’s my turn to put an end to it.’

But if the parents are stubborn, the children will also be stubborn.

Kwaaak-!

Do Yu-jin also knew that fact very well.

In the past, he was also a child who freely displayed that kind of stubbornness.

That’s why Do Yu-jin didn’t bother to stop Yu-na, who was desperately trying to get up while holding onto his hand.

Instead, he muttered quietly.

“I’m extremely tired, so I’ll ask you to do it in a way that won’t shock you as much as possible.”

“Huh? What is that… … ”

Before Yuna could even utter her questioning words.

Phew-!

A green shadow suddenly appeared and knocked her unconscious.
