I Login Alone

Episode 81.

Jung Si-woo and Marina had no right to stop the Emperor guild from hunting, and even Jung Si-woo didn’t like to persecute innocent people. It would have been best if the area were cleared up before they came, but the only thing they could do now was to compete while dealing with the “power of God.”

“I’m still at a loss.”

“It’s because the whole area is full of Setnak’s power. If you break down the pawns, you’ll start to gain some sense.”

“As we explore this long, long canyon.”

“There’s a possibility that it goes beyond the canyon.”

The more they talked, the more they realized that the situation was high and dry. However…Jung Si-woo grinned as he looked back at the Emperor guild. He was inspired by their performance and redoubled his efforts to destroy the undead.

“Thanks to their presence, at least we’ll be able to kill the monsters faster.”

“We need to stop them from coming into contact with Setnak’s fragments. The Emperor guild is one of the radical groups that actively insist on using god’s power.”

So that’s what Marina was worried about. As much as she was born with the ability to deal with mana, she realized early on the dangers of using god’s power.

‘It’s different from other elite guild players who regard god’s power as a pure blessing. At least I don’t have to persuade her.’

Jung Si-woo shook his arm strongly as he was thinking to himself. His hammer instantly increased in size, crushing the pack of armored monsters in front of him. He swept their remains away all at once and put them in his inventory. He was on alert of other monsters trying to approach him, battering them away with his other hand. His movements were as graceful as a butterfly’s, yet as rough as a storm, with the power to make a person feel both fascinated and frightened. However, as soon as Marina tried to express her admiration, Jung Si-woo let out a small sigh.

“But it’s too late.”

“What?”

She wasn’t good at reading other people’s mana. She didn’t know that they already had the power of another god in their bodies. However, it was visible to Jung Si-woo. He knew that those unique mana patterns and colors weren’t their own.

“They already have the power of god. Maybe they’ve been blessed.”

“So you’re coveting their powers right now?

Marina’s expression was strangely distorted. Jung Si-woo felt the same way as she did.

‘Seo-hee’s guild members are holding up well because they accepted the power of god. Their powers are clearly on a different level. So it’s possible that they think they’re pulling this off with their own power…how come they still don’t know that god’s body is what holds their power?’

It was different from the rifle, which was completely separated from god. The power given to them wasn’t only returnable whenever god wanted, but it was also possible to transform the form of power. The tragedy in Otaru might be repeated. However, it was impossible they would listen to Jung Si-woo’s words, and even if they believed him, there was no way to take god’s power away from them. Jung Si-woo just wanted them to step back quietly.

“Ahhhhh!”

Just then, Seria Wilson was displeased with Jung Si-woo and Marina Bissett killing most of the monsters and used a powerful skill. She fired off five white-colored mana bullets in a row! They fell into the middle of the undead crowd, causing a huge explosion. A low-lying cloud of hatred and hostility echoed in the collapsed canyon.

[Our enemy!]

[The power of light! Kill them!]

[You can’t be one with us! Let’s kill them and prove our loyalty!]

“Good, I am your enemy! And I’ll kill all of you!”

Seria Wilson, who quickly became the main character of the battlefield, shouted with great satisfaction. The Emperor guild members began to sweep away the undead as if they had waited for that moment. It was a light similar to the divine power of a priest but somewhat different. The power of light, which was effective against undead, was leading the war in a different direction.

“That’s their…?”

“Oh no, Oppa. That’s…”

“Huh?”

If Marina and Jung Si-woo were vaguely worried about god’s power, Soo Ah-rin was different. She tilted her face, speaking stiffly.

“That’s the power of Louisos. Louisos, the god of light!”

“Oh, Louisos. I see. I’ve heard of that god.”

“How did you know about that?”

“When I got a message asking if I wanted to transfer jobs, I felt his power.”

She was also an elite who was never fooled by anyone else when it came to dealing with mana! Her ability to remember other kinds of mana was remarkable.

“Huh?”

Wait. Louisos? Louisos and Setnak…Jung Si-woo’s face turned dark.

“Aren’t those gods at odds with each other?”

“I didn’t know about that information either. You’re a good partner.”

“I’m not your partner.”

“Please be quiet.”

[Gyaaaaaag!]

Jung Si-woo was considering a hypothesis while killing the undead monsters by swinging a hammer in both hands. Was it pure coincidence that the Emperor guild was the fastest to find out what was happening in the Grand Canyon? And B&Y just came running here? When were there monsters rampaging in other states?

‘If not…were they ordered by the god?’

If so, the situation became more serious. What happened when the group holding Louisos’s power encountered Setnak’s traces directly on earth? No, how would the power of the two gods react in the middle of the earth?

“I have to stop them.”

“I’ll tell you in advance, but I can’t communicate with them. They’ll take everything we do now as a hostile act.”

“Okay, let’s leave them alone.”

Jung Si-woo decided to stop thinking. It was their choice to gain the power of the god and their choice to come all the way here. He didn’t know exactly what would happen, but he didn’t have to worry about saving them.

“They’ll take care of themselves, whether they survive or die.”

“You’re acting pretty chill right now.”

“We can solve this if we act more quickly than them. But…”

He looked around with a hammer on his shoulder. More than half of the undead had been killed due to the destructive mana bullets fired by Jung Si-woo before the battle began, and the number of undead filling the canyon was rapidly decreasing as the others jumped in.

“Die! All of you!”

“We’re fine with them taking out the pawns, but we can’t let them take the elite monsters! The elites are the priority!

[Kuooooo!]

[Keuhiiig!]

The power of Louisos, the god of light, was too much for Setnak’s pawns! The Emperor guild was getting more and more absorbed in their power. If it weren’t for the battle with Setnak, Jung Si-woo would’ve taken the time to make his decision…

“But shouldn’t we give them a warning before there are any deaths? Usually, when you watch novels or cartoons, the main characters issue indulgences to themselves like this. They’ll be warned, but they won’t listen, just like this.”

“The worst part is that you’re saying that.”

“Oh my, that was cool…”

“Cool! That’s cool!?”

Some undead rushed the Emperor guild, who were led by Louisos’ power, while the others attacked Jung Si-woo, the man who created this situation. Jung Si-woo bravely rushed toward the largest elite undead, an armored bear.

[Kuwo-eoeoeoeoeong!]

“Heuaaaab!”

The giant bear snorted at the tiny arrogant humans rushing in. It swung its front paws against Jung Si-woo. The vicious claws glowed darkly, and it looked like it could rip Jung Si-woo’s head off at any moment. But then…

[Kahak!]

Jung Si-woo’s front paw hit the bear’s shoulder, and it twisted it in a strange direction. At the same time, his other hammer hit the bear’s abdomen, and the bear floated in the air for a moment with the sound of a drum popping!

[Coooohaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!]

“Oh, my goodness…”

“That’s not a player, that’s a monster…?”

It looked like it was roughly level 230; the bear might’ve lost a little power after turning into an undead. The elite monster, which was much stronger than the other undead, wasn’t able to overcome the rush and was tossed into the air. It drew the attention of humans and undead alike.

“Whoo…”

What was even more shocking, however, was the appearance of Jung Si-woo jumping with his giant hammer just below the bear’s body, which rose high into the air. It was like a baseball batter waiting for the ball to fly, and everyone realized what he was about to do.

[Khekkk…that’s too much.]

[Dear Setnak…I’m going to meet you now.]

Shortly after the undead realized it was fighting against an enemy that was powerful from the start, it silently paid its respects. Jung Si-woo swung at the giant bear, which was falling down, with all his might.

[Kooooooooooaahhh!]

[Leheg!]

[Kiuooo!]

It was like a meteor. The body of a giant bear left an indelible wound in the canyon, crushing all the undead in its path! In the process, the bear died, and all the undead that somehow survived had no choice but to pay silent tribute without thinking about running away or attacking.

“Yeah, you guys should’ve kept quiet from the start.”

If there was any good news, the armor of the bear he hit was so hard that despite the chaos, there wasn’t even a scratch. It raised expectations that this would be strong enough to make Dullahan’s new armor.

“Okay, then…you guys.”

“Why, why!”

Jung Si-woo, who recovered the loot, turned his head toward the Empire guild. Seria Wilson came to the front of the guild members, trying hard not to look scared, but she couldn’t hide her shaking legs. He spoke to her calmly.

“I’ll warn you in advance that the power of god you have isn’t very good here. I’m telling you because I’m thinking about you, so go back while I’m being nice.”

“So, there is god’s power here!”

“You already knew everything. That’s enough of your jokes.”

“Uh…”

Jung Si-woo’s icy voice stripped away the pretensions and lies from Seria Wilson. She stiffened and shouted at him.

“Well, yeah! We’re here to take the sign of god. I can’t let that power pass on to you!”

“Take…?”

They probably hadn’t been communicating with their god on a deep level. He didn’t know if they’re the only ones who thought so, or if they were being deceived… either way was bad. Jung Si-woo had a bitter smile on his lips.

“Louisos is up against Setnak. You can’t take the power of both gods.”

“What…? Uh, how did you know the name Louisos…?”

“Again, I’m saying this out of concern for you. You better go back. While you still maintain your human form.”

“…Bullshit.”

Seria Wilson snorted.

“I decide what we’re going to do. I won’t be able to hear the proud chatter of a beggar who wasn’t blessed by god.”

“Okay, I see.”

He thought he had done enough. He gave them all the information they need, and he explained the risk, so now he was confident that he wouldn’t feel bad even if they turned into monsters!

“You’re the worst!”

“Let’s go, Marina.”

“Okay!”

Marina was no different from Jung Si-woo! He was talking with a very serious look on his face a while ago, so when Seria Wilson saw him suddenly turning back with a refreshed look, she was stunned.

“What, what, are you giving up like that?”

“Good luck! We’ll cheer you on! I hope you guys don’t die!”

“What! It’s even more uncomfortable now!”

“Fighting!”

“What is it, really?!”

Jung Si-woo gave Seria Wilson an extra shot and didn’t hesitate to take out his bike and drive off with Marina. There was no longer any undead in the canyon, so he was going to search the neighborhood for signs of Setnak while hunting other monsters.

“Bye, Zai Jian!”

“Ahhh!”

So they both left. Seria Wilson was just staring blankly at the bike as if she had become a clown on a stage.

“What do we do, Master?”

“What do you mean? Our goal hasn’t changed.”

She bit her lip. It wasn’t that she didn’t care about what he said, but this wasn’t the time for her to be swayed by what others said. On this chaotic earth, they needed more power than anything else to stand tall!

“I’m gonna put Setnak’s power in my hands.”

“Yeap!”

So the Emperor guild started to move. The fragments of Setnak weren’t revealed yet.
