Chapter 178 . The Power of the Hero (2)

I immediately came back to Earth . I knew where Yua was . I rushed to her in my armor .

“Sharana!”

[Yes, Master!]

After infusing Sharana into my body, I even used Talaria . Then, I used Divine Speed and was able to reach Walker in just 1 minute 13 seconds .

In an area strangely silent and deserted, insect type monsters were flying toward Walker . It was undoubtedly Luca Bruno’s doing . In Walker’s arms, I could see Yua struggling to free herself .

“Let me go! Let me go now!”

“Kuk, calm down, Kang Yua! Your oppa is here!”

“Ah, Oppa! Oppa, say something to him! I have to go meet someone now!”

First, I used Peika’s ability to scorch the surrounding monsters, then calmly received Yua from Walker . I could see something condensed in her eyes . Her cheeks were flushed red and her eyes were out of focus . It was the typical charmed status .

“Let me go, Oppa! I would be troubled if I can’t meet him!”

“Yua, calm down first . ”

“I hate Oppa! You don’t even know how I feel! …Eh?”

Yua’s expression distorted as if she was agonizing over something .

“I, I… Oppa… but that person… uuu…”

She was in conflict because of me even while she was charmed? Touched, I wanted to hug her and rub my cheek against hers but now wasn’t the time . I took a deep breath and shouted .

“Yua, snap out of it!”

[You used Orc Lord’s Warcry! All party members are cleansed of negative status effects . All party members’ attack power increases by 50 percent for the duration . All party members become super-armored, unfazed by enemy attacks . ]

In an instant, Yua’s eyes became focused again .

“… Eh?”

She looked extremely confused . She touched her cheeks, knocked on her head a few times, then realizing that she was in my embrace, she blushed .

“Oppa, what’s going on…?”

“Sorry, Yua . I dragged you into my problem . ”

“N-No, I’m fine . Did I trouble Oppa? I-It’s bad if I did…”

“You didn’t, so don’t worry . Are you okay, now?”

“Y-Yes . It was really strange . I suddenly really liked someone I saw for the first time to the point I couldn’t control myself… It was too strange . Then, Walker ajusshi grabbed me and… If it wasn’t for him…”

I put Yua down and dusted her off a couple times . Then, I bowed to Walker .

“Walker, thanks . ”

“I just did what you told me to do . I’m just doing my job . ”

“Still, it’s thanks to you that Yua is safe . Thank you, really . I won’t forget this debt even if I die . ”

“… Hmph, as long as you know . ”

“Sorry, but can you continue protecting Yua right now? I have something to do . ”

“… Interesting . Of course, I’ll protect your sister wholeheartedly . Go wild . ”

I patted Yua’s head one more time, then opened my visor to reveal my eyes . Then, I stared at the insects that were still flying toward me . After meeting my eyes, the insects all turned to stone and fell to the ground . Countless thuds rang out as if there was a hail .

“You’re no human…!”

“This is Oppa’s…!”

The insects turned to stone the moment they got in my range . Unless there was a healer who possessed mana that surpassed mine, it would be impossible to cancel my ability . Hundreds, then thousands of rock sculptures piled up around us . Then, I lightly waved my hand, creating a tornado with Mad Typhoon . With Sharana’s power amplifying the tornado, I shredded the sculptures into tiny pieces .

In just a moment, all the monsters disappeared . I made a light sigh and pulled my visor back down . I then turned around to Yua and Walker and spoke .

“Then I’ll be off . ”

“Oppa, can I go with you? I want to see Oppa teaching him a lesson! I can’t forgive myself for being unable to choose between Oppa and that person!”

It seemed Yua wanted a closure for herself as well . I looked at Walker . He shrugged and remarked .

“I was also vexed because I could only run away . I want to see how he’ll react when he sees you . ”

“Alright, then let’s go together . Peika, materialize!”

[I’ve been waiting!]

Peika materialized in mid-air as a dragon . When I put Yua and Walker on her back, Yua cheered .

“How beautiful… Oppa is amazing! Do all dungeon explorers have something like this?”

“Sorry to break your fantasy, but it’s your Oppa that’s special . ”

I put a Mana Potion in my mouth and ordered Peika to fly . Peika soared into the air, and civilians who saw her from the streets screamed .

“Kang Shin, your sister’s face isn’t hidden . ”

“It’s fine . They already found out anyways . We’ll be more open from now on . I don’t plan on hiding anymore . There’s no reason to either . ”

I doubt Luca Bruno came all the way to Korea, saw Yua for the first time, and charmed her because he was mesmerized by her . He undoubtedly approached her knowing that she was my sister . In that case, there was no longer a need to hide my identity . There was only one thing I needed to do .

That was to show what would happen if they bothered me .

“Peika, full speed . Follow Luca Bruno’s mana . ”

[Got it!]

Peika shot forward like lightning . He wasn’t far from here . He had even used some ability to prevent people from approaching her . He must have thought that Walker was stronger than him in a direct fight and planned on chasing him away before he acquired Yua .

Acquire Yua and… acquire… Ha… Hahaha…

“Found you . ”

Peika shot down like an arrow . The people around us screamed and scattered . Meanwhile, I grabbed a man who was running away like the others by the nape of his neck . He looked at me with a flustered expression . As expected, he had disguised himself rather thoroughly . However, he couldn’t hide his mana .

“It’s been a while, Luca Bruno . ”

“What are you two doing!? I’m not such a per…!”

I threw him on the ground face down . Immediately, tiny monsters that were stuck on his body flooded toward me to counterattack then became petrified and fell . I grabbed his face and jumped down Peika’s back . People gathered around us, murmuring .

“What’s happening?”

“A dragon? Is that a dragon?”

“Wait, isn’t that Dragon Knight?”

“The dragon he’s riding changed! It must be an Asian version!”

“I’m just an American touring Kore… Kuk!”

Grabbing his face, on one hand, I poured mana in my foot and kicked him in the face . The mana barrier he had instantly shattered and a few of his teeth flew into the air . The bystanders screamed .

“Dragon Knight is beating up an innocent man!”

“Call the police!”

“Call them for what?”

A second, third, fourth… I wasn’t satisfied with just his face . I threw him down on the ground, raised my foot and slammed it down on his back .

“Kahak!’

“Luca Bruno, this will be my only question, so answer . ”

I asked .

“Who told you about my sister?”

“Why are you doing this… to me… Kak!”

Was he still trying to hide his identity? I smirked and brought my spear out . Then, I cut off both of his arms . Yua screamed, but I had no plans to go easy because she was watching . I scorched his severed arms using Peika’s power and swung my spear again to fling the blood off . Next, I placed my spear on his back and said firmly .

“Next is your heart . ”

“B-Brightman! It was Brightman! Not just you, but he has the information on everyone in Revival! An organization he is forming without Guardian knowing is… Kuhuk!”

I smacked his back with my spear shaft . Then, I asked again .

“You sure it wasn’t Guardian’s doing?”

“Y-Yes!”

“Organization name, members, tell me everything . ”

“N-Now? C-Can you heal me first…? M-My arms…!”

I raised my spear . Just when I was about to strike down with it, Luca Bruno shouted desperately .

“I’ll say it! I’ll say it now!”

“Walker, sorry, but can you take out a note?”

“… Sure . ”

Walker gnawed on his lips and took out a notepad . While he took down each and every word Luca Bruno was spewing out, he asked .

“Xin who…?”

“Xin Shaomei!”

It was China’s SS ranker . It seemed I’d need to see her face too . The question was whether she would still have her face afterward .

After Luca Bruno finished saying everything, I took my spear back . When I looked around, I saw several police cars around us . An officer who seemed to have a high rank shouted on a megaphone .

“We’re the police!”

“Go back . ”

I put mana into my words . The police blocking the road were pushed back by the mana’s pressure . It was the same for the people around us . Although there might have been a better way to go about it, I didn’t want to be bothered by anyone right now .

At the same time, I opened the guild communication channel .

[All members of Revival on Earth, confirm your family’s safety . If something seems off, notify me immediately . I will take care of it within 5 minutes . ]

[Don’t worry, Shin . I have Guardian members and familiars protecting everyone’s families . It’s mainly you and I that’s being targeted . ]

Hwaya immediately responded . I didn’t think other members’ information would have had their information exposed as well . Brightman, just how much money did you use!? I gritted my teeth .

In any case, I felt grateful to Hwaya for taking care of something I had forgotten about .

[Hwaya, thanks . I only thought about my own family… Damn, I didn’t think other members would be targeted at all . It would have been obvious if I thought about it for a moment!]

[It’s fine, it’s my job to take care of things you don’t have the time to do… So? That got me many points, right? Did you fall for me yet?]

[Yeah, I did… Is your mother okay?]

[… U-Un, she’s fine . Walker messaged everyone as he took Yua . I took care of it before it was too late . ]

In the middle of talking to Hwaya, I raised my spear and struck down on the ground once . Ability users that popped out amidst the police force and Luca Bruno who was trying to join them all froze .

[Everyone, stay with your family . I’m going to go take care of an organization called ‘Heroes of Shadow . ’ I’ll take you when everything’s over . ]

[Shin, I want to go too . ]

[M-Me too!]

[No, it’s fine . You don’t have to come with me . ]

Sorry, but having you there won’t help me . For now, you guys should focus on increasing your ability through the dungeon .

I swung my spear and shot out a whirlpool, shredding the ability users limbs and Luca Bruno’s leg .

“Kuaaaaak!”

“If there’s anyone else you brought with you, tell them to come out now . I’ll take care of all of you together . ”

[… Want help?]

A sluggish voice rang out . It wasn’t from the guild communication channel but from the private messaging system .

[Daisy?]

[Insect extermination must be done… cleanly, leave none behind . Thoroughly . My ability, very useful . ]

Daisy’s unexpected offer made me reconsider .

[But Daisy, I don’t want to use your power for something like this . Plus, this is Earth’s—]

[I want to, help . You’re benefactor, friend . Grateful person . ]

To be honest, I was thankful for her offer . Like she said, insect extermination had to be done thoroughly . Otherwise, they might reproduce again . I didn’t want to involve her something like this since she had trouble with people, but she sent me another message, [I want to help . ] as if to urge me again .

[In that case, I’d be happy to have you . Thanks, I’ll come get you in a bit . ]

[Un . I’ll get ready . ]

After I finished talking to Daisy, I approached Luca Bruno . He gasped and crawled backward .

“I, I told you about Brightman, so please…!”

“That’s beside the fact . ”

I held my spear up and struck down at his ‘place . ’ A fountain of blood shot up into the air . Luca Bruno screamed .

“Guaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

“Kuk, just watching it hurts me…!”

“Sorry, but it doesn’t look cleanly cut . ”

I struck down once again, and again, and again . Just in case, I used Mad Typhoon to shred the area . Only then was I certain that I finished the job .

“Guuuuu…”

“Good, perfect . With this, it wouldn’t matter even if you seduced women . ”

“Ah, my oppa is too cool…”

“Cool!? Cool!? Hey, Kang Shin! Your sister is still weird! She’s not normal!”

It was then that a white ball of light appeared above Luca Bruno’s forehead . I didn’t feel any hostility from it, so it wasn’t an attack . I tilted my head and reached out toward it . The moment my hand touched it, a message rang out in my head .

[Would you like to use the Hero’s authority to retrieve the ability given to Luca Bruno?]
