━ Comments ━

[Fallen Power Knight: Malak-nim and the Seven-Headed Dragon, the dragons have engaged in battle!]

ㄴ [Goollreu: Everyone knows that. The monster’s roar is so loud, it’s impossible not to know.]

ㄴ [3Reps500: Pleasewinpleasewinpleasewin]

[Not a Netkama: （Picture of a broken wall）]

ㄴ [Not a Netkama: The wall is breached! Two High-ranking Demons have appeared! Someone come help!]

ㄴ [Not a Netkama: We’re all going to die here! Is Close-Range Spy or Dina around? Or even Rake!]

ㄴ [Brahmanda: All three of them are engaged in battle with High-ranking Demons. I’d like to go, but I’m treating critically injured patients right now, so it’s difficult. Sorry.]

ㄴ [Fallen Power Knight: I have to protect Malak-nim’s totem…]

ㄴ [Morning Tent Erection Knight: Hold on]

ㄴ [Not a Netkama: The older of the Bella Sisters is dead. Is there really no one who can come help?]

ㄴ [Morning Tent Erection Knight: I’ve requested assistance from the warriors! They should be arriving soon!]

[Samurai Jackson: Gukbap… Ppooppooppeung is dead. He saved everyone here and…]

ㄴ [Fallen Power Knight: Ah… He was a good friend.]

ㄴ [Morning Tent Erection Knight: May he rest in peace.]

ㄴ [I Trusted the Monkey Man but: My condolences.]

ㄴ [Princess Dina: Gukbap… I’m sorry.]

[Goollreu: Ah, shit, why are the High-ranking Demons so strong? A Level 7 can’t do anything against them!]

ㄴ [Close-Range Spy: There’s no defense against a group attack, so just hold them off for now. Upload a picture of your location.]

ㄴ [Goollreu: （Picture showing the High-ranking Demon and the background where it’s located.）]

ㄴ [Close-Range Spy: I’ll be there soon.]

ㄴ [Goollreu: As expected of the leader of the Close-Range Spy Raid~! I knew I could count on you, damn it!]

ㄴ [Close-Range Spy: It’s the Goja Buro Raid.]

[Princess Dina: The main gate has fallen. Inform Chieftain Kanto about this.]

[Odo Daejangbu: Emergency! Code Red! Demons are invading the building, targeting the Evil God Idol!]

ㄴ [Petit Noah: The warriors will be there soon!]

[Close-Range Spy: We won! Malak killed the Seven-Headed Dragon Demon and all the dragons!]

ㄴ [Dairy Cow Bikini Dance: Wow, shit.]

ㄴ [Morning Tent Erection Knight: Fucking sex!]

ㄴ [Bangguseok Choseon: Can we go home now…?]

[Princess Dina: It’s too early to relax. Our strongest guardian is incapacitated, and the High-ranking Demons are still alive and leading the attack. We need to eliminate them first.]

ㄴ [Not a Netkama: I’ll join you there. With Jackson and Bella.]

ㄴ [Close-Range Spy: I’m coming too. Mark the location.]

ㄴ [Princess Dina: （Picture of the background.）]

ㄴ [Princess Dina: Let’s take down the High-ranking Demon here first.]

[LuluTV: Did everyone see the post that just went up on the community forum…?]

ㄴ [Full Play: Could it really be Karon?]

ㄴ [I Trusted the Monkey Man but: No.]

ㄴ [I Trusted the Monkey Man but: Ha.]

ㄴ [Salted Yellow Corvina: Ah, this is so fucking annoying.]

ㄴ [Fallen Power Knight: Everyone calm down. We won the war.]

I walked through a dreamlike field, reading the comments on the post. The traces of the fierce battle were left vividly on the community forum.

“Gukbap. Bella.”

They were the people who fought alongside me to subjugate Asha and the Black Coral Tribe. They were also the possessed who had fought harder than anyone else in this hopeless world.

“I hope we’ll be back on Earth when we open our eyes.”

That was the happiest ending I could think of.

Many others must have lost their lives too. I briefly mourned, hoping that they all went to wherever they believed in.

“But what about me?”

I should be back on Earth, beating the crap out of Karon right now, but instead, I’m lost in a fantasy garden I’ve never seen before.

“Sigh.”

I couldn’t help but sigh.

Walking aimlessly would get me nowhere. I needed to climb to a high place and check my surroundings.

“Heave-ho.”

I climbed a nearby giant tree. It was bigger than a building, probably nourished by something extraordinary. What is this, the World Tree?

“Whoa.”

After climbing for a while, I felt dizzy, and my legs started to tremble. This is too high. I might get seriously hurt if I slip. The nearest branch is still far away.

This part-timer’s body is not that different from my real body. And I wasn’t exactly a fitness enthusiast.

Well, what I’m trying to say is I have poor stamina. And I lack strength.

I might not be immortal here. I should avoid risky actions just in case. I slowly climbed down from the tree.

“Should I try using a blessing?”

I checked earlier, and except for blessings that were marked ‘Totem’ or required a totem to use, most of them worked fine.

I could use Zombie Control, Power of the Wind and Rain God, Malak’s Domain, and Strengthening Tattoo.

As soon as I realized I could use blessings, I tried to use Strengthening Tattoo, but it didn’t work. It seems like it’s a buff that can’t be cast on oneself.

Ugh, if only Strengthening Tattoo worked, I could just run around freely or climb trees easily. What a waste.

“Power of the Wind and Rain God.”

A blue aura enveloped the ground beneath my feet, and white powder fell from the air.

Soon, the roots of the tree surged from the ground and rapidly expanded. I quickly climbed onto the top of the tree.

“It’s Jack and the Beanstalk.”

It grew rapidly as if there was no limit to its growth. The tree had easily surpassed 5 meters in height.

“Wait, can I even get down from this?”

It’s growing much better than I expected.

“Power of the Wind and Rain God, cancel! Cancel!”

As I spoke, I repeatedly tapped the [Power of the Wind and Rain God] text on my status window. I’ve deactivated blessings before, but this is my first time canceling one.

“Whew.”

At least the tree’s growth, which had been going crazy, stopped, so it seems like canceling works.

“Anything here?”

I stood up and looked around. A huge tree. Another huge tree next to it, and another huge tree beyond that.

“Perfect.”

This place is a literal forest of trees. I can’t even see the ground. It’s a green hell, a green inferno.

“Why am I suddenly dragged into a rainforest?”

I grumbled as I carefully climbed down from the tree.

Now I understand that I overused Manifestation beyond its limits. And that’s why I was dragged to a （?） place even more dangerous than the mental world.

But shouldn’t I at least be able to guess where I am?

It’s all because that Jin Malak didn’t tell me where I was before he left.

“Argh, thinking about it makes me angry. ‘Darn it, Sanz-kun~! I’m escaping now~! Good luck~!’ And he just leaves like that. He should have told me where this place is. He always just says what he wants to say.”

It’s possible that telling me the location itself is taboo. I was trying to find another way while grumbling when…

[Malak’s representative. You must help me.]

A sentence was written in red letters near my status window.

“…Ishtania?”

Only the goddess could have this kind of ability.

It seems like she sent a personal message to me instead of a community-wide announcement like before.

[Malak was connected to you and was able to descend thanks to my help.]

“Well, you’re stating the obvious. So what do you want me to do?”

I responded indifferently. I didn’t want to be polite to the bitch who forcibly possessed me and other Earthlings while we were living peacefully on Earth.

[Protecting the cathedral was the contract between Malak and me.]

“Hey, lady. If you have the divine power to send messages, tell me where I am first. I’m lost.”

[Karon has gained the power of outer gods called Watchers. He will grow stronger day by day. He will covet the Celestial Domain. He must be eliminated quickly.]

“So where is this place?”

[As his representative, you must fulfill the contract. Order your followers to save the cathedral.]

Just like a god, she only talks about what she wants to say.

“Think logically for a second. I’m gone, Rake is probably exhausted from using too much divine power, and the Tribal Federation and the Paladins must have suffered heavy losses. How can they go to the Capital and fight Karon?”

Does she think the Tribal Federation is some kind of Suicide Squad?

[Karon is also exhausted. There will be minor sacrifices, but with your current forces, you can win.]

“What?”

Minor sacrifices? Minor?

I saw what was in the Capital. I saw how thoroughly they were prepared for a siege.

And she says it will be minor? That’s bullshit. They’re not just anyone, they’re my followers, they’re Earthlings.

It’s obvious that a lot of them will die, but she’s just telling them to go?

“Just get lost. You have a really shitty way of talking…”

Before I could finish, a new message arrived.

[It was I who ordered Pope Holland to sacrifice his life. I saved you by sacrificing my followers.]

“You! You son of a bitch!”

I couldn’t hold back my anger and exploded.

“Am I supposed to be grateful to you, you bitch? Huh? Did you think I’d say, ‘Oh, thank you so much! I’ll go save the cathedral right away!’? What the fuck do you think human lives are!? You piece of shit━!”

After spewing out a torrent of curses, I suddenly felt dizzy.

“Ugh…!”

It wasn’t because I was angry for the first time in a while. It was because the goddess sent too many messages.

Even though it was through the status window, I communicated with a god for too long. The reason Jin Malak didn’t have long conversations with me through personal messages was to prevent this kind of situation.

This bitch of a goddess, in her desperation, attempted dangerous communication without any consideration.

Perhaps she realized it, or maybe she was angry at what I said, but the next message didn’t come.

“Huff, huff.”

I was sitting down, trying to recover my mental strength, when…

“You there.”

A woman who resembled Rake, but appeared slightly more mature, emerged from the bushes.
