"Mr. Alexei, how strong is Song Ji-hoon?"

"Well, his strength is equal to that of a god, he has acquired impressive magic during his journey, even though he is nowhere near completing what he set out to do."

"Equal to the power of a god? How is that possible?"

Mr. Alexei rises from his chair and his legs are robot-like.

"Basically, he can kill anyone whenever he wants, but the more he's pushed the more he loses power and the less chance he has of succeeding"

Petrov shudders.

"So you're saying Horizon and Toyazo will die in the fight with Ji-hoon?"

"Yes Petrov, that's exactly what will happen, everyone will die, including the captains, that's well and understood if they don't exhaust him"

Petrov shudders even more.

"And if he can beat such strong teams, doesn't that mean he will win completely?"

Mr Alexei approaches Petrov and puts his hand on his shoulder.

"You see Petrov, they are not the strongest, there are others and more, and those are staying in this house, if somehow Ji-hoon enters here he will be assassinated instantly if he is exhausted, Horizon and Toyazo were sent to be bait"

...

Yuri leaps to attack but ends up having his hand cut off by Ji-hoon's sword.

Yuri falls and holds on to where his hand should have been to stop his bleeding.

"It's no use, you've been infected with viper venom."

Yuri's eyes turn red from the venom.

"BROTHER!"

Liliya is angry and a golden aura appears around her.

"Brother?"

I remember now, I remember how my sister called me like that and ended up monster food, I'll never forget that day, I could have saved her but I was too scared.

Ji-hoon lifts his head from the ground.

Now I will kill anyone to achieve my goal.

A tear of blood runs down his cheek.

I'll only win by killing everyone, everyone who has harmed mankind.

"You're just like my sister, you both suffered but from different causes"

Ji-hoon approaches Liliya but her aura keeps him away from her.

[Announcement]

' Golden aura signifies hatred, intense hatred for those who hurt the person's family '

' Even if her strength is 10 times weaker than normal, it's still a risk '

Liliya's talisman floats in the air making a bright light and Ji-hoon puts his hand to his eye to avoid being blinded.

Now I understand, she's an elite class, not her brother.

A flashback appears in Ji-hoon's head.

"Oofff are you done fighting already?"

Ever since then I've felt a strange rush, a sensation that froze the blood in my veins, a sensation that's now gone.

A red light appears from the talisman and a laser comes out of the eye of the talisman.

This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.

"Shit."

Ji-hoon runs around and hides behind a wall.

Meanwhile dust is everywhere making Ji-hoon cough.

What's that talisman? I've never seen one like that, and especially not one to kill me.

Ji-hoon peeks over to where Liliya is but she's gone, both her and the rest of her and Yuri's team.

What the hell, where did they disappear to?

Ji-hoon turns her head back and sees Liliya with Yuri's knife.

Shit.

Ji-hoon throws himself to the side to avoid being stabbed.

He looks at Liliya who has changed her clothes, she has them in the color of that talisman, that gray the talisman had before it was triggered.

Where is my sword?

His sword is in Liliya's hand and she runs towards it with the sword pointed at Ji-hoon.

Ji-hoon dodges and knocks Liliya to the ground.

Where did her talisman go?

The talisman appears behind Ji-hoon and the red in it is brighter.

Shit.

Ji-hoon runs down the stairs making a sharp noise.

He finally reaches the top and looks around and sees nothing, neither the talisman nor Liliya.

Ji-hoon is pushed falling with his chest on his sword.

Blood splatters everywhere and Ji-hoon vomits blood.

Ji-hoon is breathing heavily, having severe trouble breathing due to his lungs being stabbed.

What just happened?

Ji-hoon is flipped onto his back and Liliya pulls the sword out of his chest, making Ji-hoon run out of air faster.

Ji-hoon's eyes turn normal again and Liliya aims the sword at Ji-hoon's neck to decapitate him.

Ji-hoon close his eyes.

Knock, Knock.

Hatoru and Ren enter Mr. Tanaka's room and see him in a deplorable state, he is paralyzed in bed.

Hatoru and Ren look at each other in terror and then approach Mr. Tanaka.

"Hi Mr. Tanaka"

Mr. Tanaka looks at Hatoru and Ren.

"Oh guys, hello to both of you!"

Mr. Tanaka coughs gravely.

"I wanted to ask you Mr. Tanaka, why did you choose me as the new head of the organization?"

Mr. Tanaka charges to get out of bed but falls back down.

"Sir don't pull yourself up if you can't get out of bed"

Ren leaves the room to get Mr. Tanaka a glass of water.

"Can we get back to the point sir?"

Mr. Tanaka looks at Hatoru and smiles calmly.

"Yes, I chose you because you're capable, you have the power to do brilliant things and everyone respects you for your courage so you're the best for the head of the organization"

Hatoru stares blankly.

"I'm not good for this role, you know well that because of me 20 members died, the only ones left alive are Ren and I"

Hatoru stands still, watching in his mind as everyone on the team dies.

"HELP!"

One of his teammates is torn in half by a monster.

Hatoru shakes his head.

I was a loser, I couldn't save anyone from there, everyone died except Ren who became a close friend of mine and I honestly don't want to lose anyone else, absolutely no one I want to lose.

"I know you were wrong on that mission but it was my fault for sending you there, you don't have to judge yourself for it"

Mr. Tanaka coughs.

"You may be right, but I can't get over the horrors I saw on that island"

Ren walks back into the room with a glass of water.

He carries the glass to the small table next to Mr. Tanaka.

"What did you talk about?"

Ren asks rubbing his head.

"Nothing important, I just wanted to know why he chose me as the head of the organization and told me that I simply deserved it."

Hatoru scratches his head in stress.

"Hm, okay then."

...

No, my mission must be completed.

Ji-hoon grabs the sword blade with his hand and an eye appears in Ji-hoon's chest.

Ji-hoon kicks Liliya's leg and stands up, his sword remaining on his hand.

Liliya's talisman appears again taking Ji-hoon running around.

He examines his trajectory and jumps up reaching for the talisman and plunging his sword into it.

A bright light comes out of that talisman so Ji-hoon throws it at Liliya and the talisman explodes, blood jumping everywhere from the explosion along with pieces of the wall.

Ji-hoon touches his pipette with his hand and feels something liquid and when he looks he sees that eye, a reddish eye the size of his palm.

What the hell is that?

Even though he's disturbed by this eye, he still doesn't have a feeling of fear.

The golden aura appears even more voluminous and Liliya is on her feet.

"Do you think, you can kill an elite class so easily?"

Before Ji-hoon can say anything he is thrown into a wall by Liliya.

Ji-hoon gets up from the ground and when Liliya comes at him with her fist, Ji-hoon shoves his sword into her throat.

What was that blood that jumped out? This bitch doesn't have a trace that she stood in an explosion.

Liliya's blood approaches Ji-hoon causing him to let go of the sword.

What the hell? The blood moves on its own towards the hole in my chest, I have to be careful.

Liliya pulls the sword out of her throat and throws it to the ground, her throat regenerating.

Fuck.

Liliya tries to punch Ji-hoon in that eye that's in his chest and he blocks the attack and moves away from Liliya.

The eye in Ji-hoon's chest starts crying blood.

What the hell?

Liliya sits back, with her head down.

This is my moment.

Ji-hoon runs at Liliya and punches her in the head knocking her to the ground.

[Success]

' You beat an elite class '

' You made it to class 2 '

Is it really over? It doesn't seem to be over to be honest.

Liliya wiggles her fingers and stands up.

It's really not over yet.

Ji-hoon stands in the attack position.

Liliya lifts her head from the ground, tears in her eyes.

Confused Ji-hoon looks around seeing absolutely nothing.

It's just a way to trick me, right?

Ji-hoon's eye in his chest blinks rapidly and Ji-hoon drops to the ground as a bullet hits the wall.

What's going on.

Ji-hoon stands up and Liliya has vanished from the scene.

Where did she disappear to?

A hand almost grabs Ji-hoon by the throat but he's quicker and grabs the person's hand putting them down.

Yuri?

Does that mean the others haven't disappeared either? Is this some kind of camouflage ability?

That means what killed that exploding talisman wasn't Liliya but members of their team.

Ji-hoon swallows his saliva.

No, I won't let anything happen to me again.

Ji-hoon pulls away from Yuri and feels something icy cold on his head.

A gun, Liliya has a laser gun pointed at Ji-hoon's head.

Nah I already know how to avoid that.

Ji-hoon kicks Liliya's leg, causing her to shoot in the other direction and giving him the opportunity to grab her head.

Ji-hoon forces his hands to crack Liliya's skull.

Liliya throws the gun at Yuri and he shoots at Ji-hoon but Ji-hoon disappears.

Ji-hoon appears behind Yuri, thrusting his sword into Yuri's back.

Liliya looks with horror and anger at Yuri falling to the ground and the blood pouring from him.

When Liliya lifts her head Ji-hoon is gone and she feels her head fall off.

Ji-hoon has decapitated her.

I'm done fighting, once and for all.

The camouflage ability breaks and everyone on the team appears and they make a run for it but Ji-hoon blocks their exit.

"Not so fast everyone, let's have a little game, the hunter and the cowardly wolves."

They all scream, wanting to escape so Ji-hoon takes action.

He decapitates three of them in just a millisecond.

The others run out of there trying to look for different exits.

"I love it, I love watching you suffer"

Ji-hoon runs at the others and decapitates them.

Blood splattering everywhere, including Ji-hoon.

And when the latest one almost comes out the main exit that seemed clear he feels his head fall off, also being decapitated by Ji-hoon.

Ji-hoon's chest wound closes.

[Announcement]

' The last enemies of Russia are in Siberia '

' Be prepared for some extreme temperatures '

Extreme temperatures? Then I'll be prepared.

Ji-hoon cleans his sword of blood.

"What, he even got rid of Liliya? At least he's tired enough to be out of the game, right?"

"I don't know what to say Mr. Alexei, it seems his strength is greater and he's not exhausted enough to be an easy target"

"Useless were these Horizon and Toyazo teams, at least we got rid of some weaklings"

Let's see how you'll stand up to the Siberian temperatures, Song Ji-hoon.

Mr. Alexei grins.
