Secretary (3)
Quaaa—
The sound of the air being torn apart rang out violently, as if a missile had been launched.
However, it was not the use of any scientific technology, mysterious magical principles, or even special weapons.
“hahahahaha!”
Its source is purely physical power.
It was the pinnacle of violent physical power created by one human being, originating from a rock-hard fist.
…I don’t know if that being should be considered a real human being.
Quaaang!
“Whoosh!”
The scribe lost his breath due to the tremendous shock coming from the divine power shield held in his left hand.
The steps that had been continuously advancing like a runaway locomotive had already been pushed back a few steps.
Even though most of the damage received was neutralized by the divine miracle contained in the shield, this is still the case!
It was so absurd that I was embarrassed.
‘Off, what is it? Where did this guy suddenly come from…?
A barbarian with a body well over 2 meters tall, dressed in unique clothing and with flashy tattoos.
She gritted her teeth as she glared at the muscular giant blocking her path.
I thought it was all over now.
I thought that if she waited just a little longer, the surrounding area would be completely blocked off by her followers, and then she would be able to make the arrogant unbeliever who dared to attack her without fear pay the price…
‘How on earth…!’
It took less than a minute for the trend to change.
An ordeal that could have been easily overcome even though there were quite a few difficulties, turned into a desperate crisis that left me struggling to get my body back together.
It was all because of those strange men who suddenly invaded.
“Paha! Did you block it? This is a great punching bag! “Then, shall we try raising the tempo a little more?”
The barbarian, who burst into laughter with his mouth wide open as if it were about to be torn apart, lowered his body and clenched his fists tightly again.
Pop!
Gigigi-gi-gi-gi-gi-!
At the same time, noise leaking from the body.
Is that really a sound that can come from the body of a living being?
Extremely compressed muscles twisted and loud metallic sounds spread everywhere.
The fact that steam rose from my reddened skin was a bonus.
“Ugh! My Lord! “Please give me the strength not to fall in any adversity!”
However, the Scribe is a reinforced combat priest who is no less powerful when it comes to direct attack power.
The divine power within her body burned like a flame, and the head of the hammer glowed like a small sun.
“Be judged!”
“Eurachacha!”
Hiss— Quaaa!
The hammer swung in a large trajectory and the fist stretched out in a straight line collided head-on.
The enormous pressure that arose in the aftermath weighed down the son-in-law, and the Jin method that Harris had reworked screamed again.
“Hey! Is it really good? It’s been a while since I broke a bone! Kahahahaha!”
“…You monster. A fracture caused by colliding head-on with God’s hammer? No, wait. “He’s already recovered?”
“Ah, I tend to recover rather quickly!”
Immediately after exchanging attacks, the two people faced each other at close range and had a fierce conversation.
The scribe striking down with a hammer burning like the sun, and Harley clashing fists to resist the force.
The fierce appearance was so fierce that the overwhelming difference in physique was put to shame.
“Choose it carefully so that it won’t be able to use its mouth again.”
However, if there is a variable in the current situation—.
“Excuse me for a moment.”
The thing she needs to worry about now is not just the giant in front of her.
Sigh—!
“Whoosh!”
The cold voice was heard and the attack was launched at the same time.
In a secret attack aimed at the rear, the divine power armor on the back was torn and blood spurted out.
As soon as he sensed the presence, he reacted and twisted his body, but it was impossible to respond without harm from the beginning because he was defenseless and his mind was scattered right after using up all his strength.
“Ugh! “These cowardly demons…!”
Spreading divine power generously, she barely managed to step back and gritted her teeth as she suppressed the blood magic seeping into her body through the wound.
At least it ended like this because it was a divine power that had an absolute advantage over vampires. If he had been careful, his heart would have been ripped out in that single attack.
‘Playback speed is slower than expected. Is it a curse that worsens wounds? ···I need time. If it continues like this, really…!’
Of course, her ordeal did not end there.
———!
As if taking advantage of the gap created by the fatal wound, bombings that had already been experienced several times rained down one after another.
The colorful beams of light flew in without a sound and beat mercilessly on her body, which was quickly in a defensive posture.
“Kya! I guess it’s because he’s a divine power user, so he’s strong? “It’s holding up better than I thought?”
Ttuduk! Pudduk!
The humanoid monster, which began to actively use physical mutation and expand its size as if to reveal its true colors, entered the war again.
“hehehe, is it because of Kangshin? I guess I can’t use blood at all. Now 2 minutes… no, a little less than 3 minutes? “If I want to finish within 5 minutes, I’ll have to move a little tight.”
The body of the vampire lord, who spat out the blood he had put in his mouth, disappeared as if melting into thin air.
These are transcendent powerhouses whose odds of victory are difficult to predict even if they face each other one-on-one.
They linked together organically as if they were one body and completely cornered their only prey, the scribe.
‘···how? why? How did this happen? Was it a gang from the beginning? I can’t believe people of this level didn’t notice until they dug a trap and approached…!’
Confusion about the current situation arose like wildfire inside Adeline, whose hands and feet were dizzy from the constant attacks.
The monster blocking her front as if blocking her movement had no intention of breaking down no matter how many times she was beaten, and in the meantime, the continued sneak attack of the vampire and the barrage of the sniper mercilessly cut down her life force, which had been exploding like an active volcano with its almost infinite divine power. It was enough to bet.
“Wow! Ah, Lord…! Please forgive this ugly servant…”
Just 5 minutes.
This was the time it took for her to finally kneel as she struggled to the end.
***
Western United States, near San Francisco, California.
Squeak—squeak!
“This way!”
“Hurry and prepare the barrier! Don’t let down your guard and deal with it clearly!”
Many people got out of several vehicles that stopped suddenly and quickly dispersed to the surrounding area, moving in an orderly manner.
The people were naturally divided into several groups, wearing various uniforms.
“Phase inflection point detection. “This is the central core!”
“Then let’s get started right away. “What is Pantheon doing now?”
“They say they are preparing to rush in right away. “Wouldn’t they have no choice but to prioritize the safety of their subjects?”
“Please cooperate as much as possible so that unnecessary words do not come out later. “Nothing is more tiring than a fanatic who has become sensitive.”
“Yes, I understand.”
In fact, although they happened to act together, they were not part of one group.
There were a variety of people, including agents from the California State Government, guardians dispatched from the American Returnees Association, and those dispatched from the Pantheon headquarters in San Francisco.
But their goals were all very similar.
They gathered together to safely rescue Adeline Schneider, one of Pantheon’s top executives and a member of the 12th Committee.
“By the way, how dare you mess with the leadership of the Pantheon. The liver is also really big. After all, it must have been done by a follower of an evil god, right?”
“Well, there’s been a lot of talk about that lately. The same goes for Gun, the saint from this world who summoned that dragon.”
“ah! Come to think of it. Could this have something to do with it too? Those guys called Beoncheonhoe are responsible for this incident…”
“You don’t know that.”
As many talented people were gathered in one place, it took less than a few minutes to identify the center of the spatial gap, install a barrier, and complete preparations for the assault.
Including the time I realized what was wrong and rushed here, has it been a little over 10 minutes now?
It was a quick response that was possible because they had already sensed something suspicious and were moving even before the signal was detected.
“Going inside!”
“Three—two—one—!”
In that situation, the Pantheon side was the first to enter the camp.
For them, the safety of the leadership was more important than neutralizing the traps inside or building a barrier to prevent the beast from escaping.
“now!”
Pajik—!
The first thing they encountered as they entered the other side of space with such a nervous mind was…
“···oh my god.”
“What is this…”
It was truly a scene of destruction on an enormous scale.
Trees were not only uprooted and scattered, but also completely burned and turned into charcoal.
A rock that has been shattered to pieces so that its original shape cannot even be guessed.
Not only was the land cracked and dug up as if there had been an earthquake, but a huge crater was formed and the insides were clearly exposed.
Even at a glance, you could tell that something unusual had happened here.
“There are traces of battle like this. “If there was no barrier…”
“The impact on the surroundings must have been significant. “There would have been quite a few casualties.”
“No, that’s not important right now! Mr. Schneider, is Adeline Schneider okay?!”
“Huh! “Track it right away!”
As soon as those who were overwhelmed by the miserable scene came to their senses, a search of the surrounding area immediately began.
And as they suppressed their nervousness and continued to use the mystery of exploration and information collection, they soon had no choice but to face an unbelievable reality.
“What about there? Did you find it?”
“···No, nothing…”
“Okay, same goes for this one. “The traces remain so clearly, but I can’t figure out any information!”
It was the fact that they could not find out anything here with their own abilities.
Starting with psychometry, which reads past memories from traces, clairvoyance, clairvoyance, tracking, etc., everything was of no use.
“···It has been erased cleanly. “It looks like the beast took action first.”
“That means Mr. Schneider has already…”
“her! This is ridiculous! He is a transcendent being that America is proud of, and one of the greatest in the entire pantheon! But there’s no way he could have suffered this in such a short period of time…!”
I tried my best to deny reality, but no matter how much I searched the scene, nothing changed.
That was the same even after those on the outside completely disbanded the formation and joined in.
“This level of concealment ability. “I’m at a loss for words.”
“Complete erasure that even supernatural abilities cannot intervene in. The rank used there seems to be at the level of transcendental, to say the least. “I wonder if there is anyone who can see through this.”
“Building a barrier, concealing information, and even traces of battle left at this site. First of all, it is clear that the culprit is not an individual.”
They had no choice but to recruit people specializing in exploration and try to figure out what happened here, but all they could find out was a mysterious void that felt almost empty.
In the end, the entire story of the terrorist incident targeting Pantheon’s leadership had no choice but to fall into the labyrinth.
It served as an opportunity to raise caution not only among the leaders who were in a similar position to her, but also among the leaders of forces other than Pantheon.
With a sense of crisis about an ‘unknown dark force’ whose identity cannot be known.
***
‘It was worth the investment of excessive effort.’
Time attack of 5 minutes.
That was an extremely tight amount of time against a transcendental person who even used a strong spirit.
Although there is a time limit, it is possible to use almost infinite divine power within it, and the explosive increase in all abilities resulting from that has demonstrated a power that cannot be ignored.
‘In the first place, there is no business in terms of numbers.’
I thought it would be a bit difficult when Harris was alone, but after putting in extra effort, didn’t things get resolved so easily?
It’s not for nothing that the heroes of justice are pushed by numbers when defeating villains in comics.
I guess these are life lessons learned in real life.
‘Plus, thanks to Heinz II, we were able to erase all traces cleanly.’
“Denial of Existence” has grown to the point where it can be said to be the final skill in the Concealment category.
It performed well in post-war post-war operations as well.
If he was like Heinz II, who had begun to germinate a weak seed of divinity after becoming a divine blood, no one would be able to see through the traces left unless someone of the same rank as the Lord of the Heavenly Order came directly.
‘Main tank Harley, who holds down the enemy, Harris, a ranged dealer and utility supporter, and Heinz II, a close range main dealer. That’s a really good combination. ···More than anything, the blow received from this incident will be fatal to Beoncheonhoe as well.’
I nodded slowly, satisfaction welling up in my heart.
It was a very great achievement to deal with the secretary who was the head of the North American branch of the Buncheonhoe, the apostle of the order, and at the same time one of the leaders of the Pantheon.
We could use this as an opportunity to further increase Heinrich’s influence on the Pantheon.
‘···And that’s not the end.’
I quietly closed my eyes and sank into the chair.
A scribe who is an apostle of Beoncheonhoe Church.
A priest who has reached such a high level that he not only uses the divine power bestowed from him, but also uses the river spirit.
Naturally, that spiritual body was bound to contain a huge amount of information about the Buncheonhoeju.
‘From one to ten. ‘I will analyze it thoroughly.’

Coincidentally, he had the best expert in this field.
The world’s best… no, the best expert in all dimensions.
