What the 12 signs took out were magic scrolls filled with words.
They then formed a circle and spoke together in a humming voice.
COMMENT
It caused a strange and bleak atmosphere.
And a moment later, they closed their eyes and lips.
In the midst of the silence, blue light began to shine from the scrolls as soon as they opened their eyes.
And that light floated up to the sky and became one.
Once they ripped the scrolls.
Rippppppp!
A portal gate opened along with the sound of the space ripping apart.
A round gate formed that radiated with a blue light.
After looking back at Min Sung, the 12 signs walked through the portal gate.
Every time one person passed through it, a ripping sound rang as they disappeared through the portal.
They had all gone through with just Min Sung and his party remaining.
Min Sung led the way, followed by Ho Sung Lee and Ssol.
***
As soon as they walked through the portal, they felt a tingling sensation, and once Min Sung opened his eyes, he could see that he was in a whole different world.
He was standing in a place that was all clouds beneath him.
Ho Sung Lee looked around with wide eyes and a dropped jaw, and Bowl stuck his head out of the pocket to enjoy the view.
Ssol ran around the clouds with a joyful look on his face.
"Right this way, " said Harmonic, and the 12 signs led the way.
Min Sung's party walked on the clouds.
It was fascinating that they could walk on top of the clouds.
It didn't feel like they were walking on clouds but rather the ground.
They continued to walk on the fascinating clouds and proceeded on their tiring journey.
Since this was a big deal, Ho Sung Lee didn't think to talk to Min Sung.
Unlike Ho Sung Lee, who was under pressure, Min Sung's face looked as though he was tired of walking.
"How far do we have to walk?"
Min Sung asked, obviously expressing his dissatisfaction.
"Just a little further. We'll be there soon, " Harmonic answered with a relaxed face
Not long after he said that, something began to appear.
It was a large wall on top of the clouds.
It was so high that they couldn't see the end of it.
"This is the entrance to the Heaven where the low-ranking god is, " Harmonic explained while pointing at the wall.
"How do we get in?" Min Sung asked while tapping on the wall.
It was going to be hard to open with force alone.
An unknown power was keeping the wall up.
"We'll open it for you."
"How far are you going to accompany me?" Min Sung asked Harmonic.
"We will guide you until you meet the low-ranking god, so do not worry. Also, before you try to fight, I suggest you ask him for the item that will cut down the Iris tree..."
"I'll take care of that on my own, so open the door."
Harmonic smiled and nodded.
"Sure."
Harmonic met eyes with the other 12 signs, and in response, they all took out a necklace from their item windows. They put it around their wrist and put their hands against the wall.
As a result, a gold light spread across the surface of the wall.
It was so vibrant that it almost looked like a work of art.
In no time, the endless wall turned into gold light, and on the surface where they placed their hands appeared a large magic square.
A white light flashed from the magic square, followed by a white light that nearly blinded their eyes.
And once that light disappeared, the door, which turned back to grey, had a door on it.
Harmonic opened the door, and the 12 signs entered through it.
Min Sung and his party also walked through.
On the other side of the wall was a completely different world from the clouds.
Despite there not being a sun in the sky, the sky was red, and the ground was red as well.
The world was completely red, and the ground was smooth and level.
But on a land like that, beautiful trees were planted, and they also saw mountains in the distance as well as lava boiling on the ground.
"This is the world of the low-ranking god, who likes to create all sorts of things. Isn't it spectacular?" Harmonic asked with joy.
But Min Sung's face was straight.
"Where's the low-ranking god?"
Harmonic smiled with his eyes.
"If you go straight this way, you'll see where the low-ranking god works. He's usually there, so you might run into him if you're lucky."
"If he's not there, where else could he be? Like his home."
"We can't tell you that much."
Min Sung nodded.
"I see. Then are you saying, I can meet the low-ranking god who has the weapon that can cut down the Iris tree as long as I go this way?"
"That's correct. We will continue to guide you..."
"No, no need, " Min Sung said in Harmonic's direction.
"I'm sorry? What do you mean... ?"
Kaboom!
Min Sung took out his Gungnir S from his item window and stabbed Harmonic in the stomach.
Slash!
The Gungnir S penetrated Harmonic's abdomen.
"Cough!"
Harmonic coughed up blood.
"... What are you doing?!"
Harmonic stared at Min Sung in shock.
Min Sung pulled out his Gungnir S without a word.
Blood and intestines poured out of Harmonic's stomach.
And the other 11 signs, who saw this, took out their own weapons with their eyes jolted wide open.
Min Sung knocked down Harmonic, who was grabbing onto his stomach on the verge of falling, and swung his Gungnir S with his right hand.
Kaboom!
The Gungnir S rang with a loud thundering noise.
A white magic light charged toward the signs.
Boommmmm!
An explosive sound.
The signs, who blocked out Min Sung's magic energy, glared at Min Sung with the desire to kill him, but they didn't have time to express such emotions.
That was because Min Sung's Gungnir S, which left his hand, stabbed through one of the signs' neck.
Min Sung jumped off of the red ground and began running.
In the blink of an eye, Min Sung pulled out his Gungnir S from the head body. He jumped off of its shoulder into the air.
When the signs saw Min Sung in the air, they decided it was their chance and unleashed their divinations toward Min Sung.
A large Aura targeted Min Sung.
Counter barrier.
Min Sung launched the skill that returned an attack that he received.
As a result of his counter barrier, the attack bounced off of Min Sung and returned to the players.
Since the signs were solely focused on the attack, they didn't have the time to calculate a defense against the counter barrier.
As a result, they were exposed to the attack.
Flash!
The 11 signs were unable to dodge or block out their own attack and suffered damage as a result.
And they got swept away by a large force.
Due to the strong hit, some had their arms broken off. Their legs have broken off or suffered substantial blood loss from wounds.
Min Sung flashed his eyes at his opponents, who couldn't get up, and stabbed his Gungnir S onto their bodies.
Slash! Slash! Slash!
Every time his Gungnir S stabbed into their bodies, there were noises of pain and groaning.
Some signs managed to get back up, but they were unable to defend themselves due to the fatal blow.
Seven of the signs were dead on the ground.
Harmonic was on the ground as well.
The only ones remaining were three signs who managed to put up a defense.
Min Sung stared at them with cold eyes and walked toward them.
"... You coward!"
"This is not what we promised!"
"How could you attack those who tried to help you?"
The three signs screamed while blood spurted out of their mouths, but Min Sung simply smiled.
"I know what you were planning, " Min Sung replied in a low voice.
In response, the three signs' faces hardened like rocks.
"If you think you can just end us like this, you're mistaken!"
The three signs charged toward Min Sung at the same time with their weapons.
Min Sung scanned their attacks with cold eyes and dodged them all.
Due to their injuries, they were slow, and the Aura within their weapons was so weak that it wasn't sharp or powerful in the slightest.
In Min Sung's eyes, the three signs looked like they were standing still.
Min Sung clenched back on his teeth and launched his power.
Kaboom!
Thunder and lightning shot through his Gungnir S, and Min Sung's power launched in the form of an attack.
Min Sung dropped his Gungnir S down.
Slash!
The sign to his left lost his head.
After that, the Gungnir S slashed the neck of the sign in the middle.
Despite their reputation as the 12 signs, they were weak to Min Sung.
The thought of how nervous he was because of them made him feel annoyed.
Of course, his counter barrier played a big part in killing the 12 signs, but even if he didn't use that skill, it wouldn't have been difficult for him to kill them.
The last remaining sign besides Harmonic screamed and swung his large sword.
Min Sung quickly dodged his attack and thought for a moment.
'If I end up fighting the low-ranking god after this, he's probably on a different level than these inner continent players. '
'I wonder how powerful they are. '
'The gods. '
Min Sung had such thoughts as he swung his Gungnir S.
Kaboom!
Along with the sound of thunder, he cut the last sign aside from Haromic in the waist.
The sign's body fell over while spilling blood.
While the 11 bodies laid on the ground covered in blood, Min Sung looked back at Harmonic, who was in the middle of treating his own wounds.
