The Tutorial Is Too Hard

I stood there for a moment.

Staring at the red stone like blood.

“Let's go back and think. That would be nice.”

It didn't seem like something I could do right now.

We destroyed the Shrines of the Pantheon, but the problems on Earth will remain.

Of course, I believed that Yong and Hotch are coping well.

It was not desirable to do anything new in the meantime.

Especially if you don't even know what the new narrative is.

[Agree.]

I decided to take care of the stoned sage.

If my ego is completely gone, even if I hold it in my hand, no response is given.

It really turned into a mystical source of energy.

There was no reason not to take it.

It was a condensed treasure.

If the gods who were feeding on the planet and feeding on the source were to gain more power, they would have turned their eyes away.

It wasn't just great because of its power.

[Can we figure out a way?]

The god of hope muttered.

I was thinking the same thing.

If possible.

If you can attack a different personality and boost it to an energy source and absorb it.

It could literally accumulate overwhelming power.

[I could make all the gods of the world beg.]

The perspective of the god of hope seemed a little different.

There won't be a big difference.

“We should do some research. ”

He said that, but he was skeptical.

It will not be easy

I opened the sub-space and kept the Wise Man's Stone beside the sealed couple.

I closed the subspace again and prepared for my return to Earth.

The war is over.

The first war I've had since I came to Earth.

No, it was the first war I ever fought.

I have fought many battles before, but it was my first time at war.

I've always fought alone without having to defend it.

But this time it was different.

There was something to protect, Earth and the Faith.

You fought alongside the giants against a massive force called the Pantheon.

I didn't feel any special emotion.

Of course, there was something different about fighting alone.

When I thought the war was over, I felt relieved.

I felt the opposite of what I felt at the end of every battle.

“Warrior?”

Serena calls to me in silence for a moment.

“It's nothing. Let's go back.”

* * *

Earth was still in chaos.

Unlike what had been feared, there was no direct invasion of the Earth by the gods of the Pantheon.

However, it was a matter of the troops that were sent to the stone.

Despite the overwhelming majority of the discrimination, the amount of troops was too great.

It was mostly a crash or seizure shortly after the summoning, but some survived, and some actively started destroying the planet.

Fortunately, no further summon portals were created after any point in time.

The Summon Portal was added endlessly, and the situation was somewhat different from the beginning when the location was randomly changed.

It was because the giants invaded the Pantheon Gods in reverse, and the fast-paced Pantheon Gods immediately withdrew.

But the troops that had already been deployed to Earth remained the same.

The troops could not be returned home.

Even before that, the Manchurian gods were wiped out by giants, closing the Summon Portal itself.

The way back is gone.

Some of the troops summoned by the gods of the Pantheon did not have the will to fight.

On the contrary, there were some very favorable people.

That was the case with the Mahamabas summoned to Australia.

This tribe, with dozens of black horns on its foreheads, did not crash during the summoning.

All summoned members safely descended to Earth and began carrying out their objectives.

“Kuaak! Kill him! ”

”Crush and destroy! ”

“Burn! Caaaak! ”

”Our god is coming here! ”

They shout it out and start destroying everything around them.

A group of people running away from the Mahamaba screams.

“It's blocked!”

There is an invisible wall in the air.

People knocked on the transparent wall, but naturally it was a wall that ordinary humans couldn't break.

I can see the Mahamabas chasing them as they urgently look back.

People didn't intend to fight them.

Monsters that use their power to break down concrete walls and destroy skyscrapers.

We can stop the Awakened or the superhumans.

However, the Awakeners did not even notice where they had all gone.

Kang!

I hit the transparent wall with the spanner and other tools that people had, but it didn't work either.

But people were desperate, too.

People knocked on the walls endlessly with what they were holding or with their fists.

The tools are broken and blood splatters from their fists, but they can't stop.

Dozens of Mahamabas rush towards them.

Humans blocked in front of them had nothing to do but knock on the wall.

A message appeared before their eyes.

[Miracle - Summon Intermediate Guardian]

[11 Intermediate Guardian Apprentices will be summoned.]

Boom!

With a powerful explosion, dozens of Mahamabas rush towards the blocked humans.

When the dust from the explosion subsided, the seven summoned appeared.

Summoned, they were chatting.

“Damn it, please take some time off. ”

Is there someone who is so complacent.

“Where am I? New York?”

There were those who looked around.

“No, it's Sydney. I've been here before. ”

They look relaxed.

Rather than being afraid of this situation, I felt annoyed.

“Training sucks, but it's more practical. At least give him some time to breathe. I'm going to die of exhaustion. ”

“Don't say that. It's better than being stuck on Hell's Level for the rest of your life. ”

The complainer agreed with that.

They were challengers trapped on the Tutorial Hell difficulty level.

Not the lower floors, such as the first and second floors, but also the challengers of Hell in the United States who remained frozen without crossing the early 30th floor of Mar.

“Help me! ”

Those who were banging on the wall asked for help when they saw them.

Challengers are more confused than running to help them.

“Huh. Why are there still people in the conclusion? ”

“Ah. The protected ones are being neglected here. ”

Challengers reported the situation urgently.

Meanwhile, the Mahamabas, who were knocked out by the explosion, regain consciousness.

The Mahamabas recall the explosion that occurred at the same time as their arrival made a quick decision.

“Kuaak! Hostiles! ”

”A new enemy has emerged! ”

The Mahamabas shouted loudly and gathered the scattered people around the city.

The summoned challengers frown.

“I think I saw them on the 31st floor. Aren't they horses?”

”I'm sick of seeing horns on my head. ”

[Existing mission will be cancelled.]

[A new mission has occurred.]

[Mission - Protect Survivors.]

[There were remaining protected persons within the restricted area for unknown reasons. Transfers from protected persons are experiencing difficulties for unknown reasons. Reinforcements will be deployed for safe isolation of the protected. Protect the protected persons until reinforcement arrives.]

[Time to augmentation: about 5 minutes]

A message that seemed natural told them what to do.

When they read the message, they smiled.

“50 minutes is fine, not 5 minutes. Get some rest. ”

”I see. Hahaha. ”

They were confident.

Until the reinforcements of the Mahamaba arrive.

The number of Mahamabas that flocked to the outer walls of the building because they could not fill the road was horrifying.

“50 minutes?”

“Five minutes would be perfect. ”

The Mahamabas swiftly gathered and rushed toward the challengers without delay.

“Kuaak!”

“Hostiles! Kill them! ”

“Burn!”

“Rip him to pieces! ”

Dozens of Mahamabas are shot down at the moment by the challengers, but they do not stop.

“Our god is coming here soon! ”

I just went forward, calling for the existence of God.

* * *

Caaaak!

Several Mahamabas attempted to fall on the rooftop of the building.

To ambush ordinary people who are protected by challengers.

The Mahamabas realized that the challengers were protecting the weak humans behind them and were trying to attack them.

Each time, challengers had to venture out to protect the weak.

There was an endless explosion.

The flame rises higher than the building.

The whirlwind blows, the asphalt floors freeze and melt.

Challengers were pouring all sorts of magic against a large number of Mahamabas.

You swing your fist at the stuck Mahamaba.

The Mahamaba's head is stuck under their shoulders, struck by a fierce fist.

Every time I swing my sword, several Mahamabas swept out at the same time.

The exchange cost was overwhelming.

The challengers have yet to die, but they have already defeated thousands of Bahamas.

Not just superhumans, but challengers who have survived for a long time on the Hell difficulty level that the gods created to cultivate talents to be apostles, and have also achieved some degree.

They were challengers who had been breathing together for a long time, and had overcome many of these enemies.

But this battle was too heavy for them.

It was the people behind them.

In the tutorial, I didn't need to care much, even if I was protecting someone.

Even if it failed, it was enough to try again.

His life mattered the most.

Then this colleague's life.

Then there was the stage information.

But on Earth it was different.

The people behind were really living humans.

I couldn't let them leave or get hurt with a light heart.

To protect them, we had to allow gaps or limit our own power.

“Damn. I'm dying. ”

A challenger bleeding from his forehead mutters.

“When the hell are they coming? ”

The five minutes that the message had given me had already passed.

“Kaaaa! Here comes God! ”

“God is looking at us! ”

”God be with us! ”

The Mahamabas cried out to God vigorously.

That's when the space opened up in the air.

When the Mahamaba saw it, they cheered.

The challengers smile quietly.

“Idiots. That's one of ours. ”

It was man who came out of the cracked space.

No, he was a man, but not a man.

[Backup has arrived.]

[Mission successfully completed.]

[You protected them perfectly until reinforcement arrives.]

[You will be rewarded for your future performance.]

[Increased (1/1)]

[Ehochi]

Walking out of the room, Hotch sees the people and challengers gathering in the corner and raises his hand to the Mahamaba.

Hotch didn't enjoy fighting someone.

Disliked it very much

Lee Ho-jae asked us not to brutally wipe out those summoned through the Summon Portal.

Hotch agreed.

They were victims.

However, the Mahamabas in front of them could see that they were not of that kind.

He was actively attempting to sabotage it.

The Mahamabas were not to be shown mercy to Hoch who was guarding the Earth and the believers.

One day, Lee Ho-jae said he would regret something he had never experienced before, when the day would come when Hotch would have to put blood on his hands.

It tilted.

Hoch was willing to be cruel, with something to protect.

[Magic Squeeze]

[Absolute Targeting]

[Create Tiny Black Hole]

A small, black space cracks open over Hotch's hand.

“Activate.”

It was a short and simple starter word.

Hotch speaks a starter, and the Mahamaba around him begin to be dragged toward the space.

It was an invisible force.

And it was overwhelming.

The Mahamaba resisted desperately to avoid being drawn to them.

It was all meaningless.

Even if they tried to survive, the Mahamabas were dragged into the space.

The power of the black hole only applies to the Mahamabas.

There was no damage to the people or buildings around me.

The Mahamaba have not been able to hold on to anything due to the excessive force.

He was already being sucked into the hole in the space before reaching for the street lamp, even though he tried to hold onto the street lamp right next to him.

The Mahamabas, either inside the building or behind the building, were sucked in with the wreckage of the collapsed building.

Even the Mahamabas, who had become mush and blood before they were sucked into the space, were crucified.

Just one second.

Right after the space opened and started sucking up the Mahamaba.

There is not a single enemy left in the streets.

The sound of the breathing of the surviving humans is still echoing in fear.
