The woman was surely not breathing anymore, and Junhyuk could tell that by the woman’s body floating in the air. It looked as though someone was pulling her body up intentionally. He had slashed her neck, and blood was still pouring out of it. She was dead for sure.

However, a dimensional tear had appeared. The woman was dead, so she was incapable of warping, but Junhyuk thought that monsters would show up through the tear.

The iron soldiers appeared quickly.

Suddenly, monsters started pouring out of the tear. Pouring out was the correct expression for it as many monsters rushed out. Junhyuk ran toward the dimensional tear, shocked by the number of monsters that had appeared.

They looked like a water buffalo herd stampeding, but the monsters were, in fact, a pack of wolves. The iron soldiers fired bullets with decomposition liquid at the pack without giving Junhyuk a chance to react.

The shooting turned the wolves into used rags, but there were so many of them, that some of the wolves ran toward Junhyuk.

That’s when he stopped running and started slashing at the wolves, tearing them up like sc.r.a.ps of paper. Each slash generated a shockwave that swept through the wolves, and their bodies started piling like mountains.

As the waves of wolves kept coming, Junhyuk thought about triggering acceleration.

After all their bodies piled up, Junhyuk thought there should be five hundred of them. They were the size of buffalos, and there were five hundred of them.

As he stepped over the bodies, he saw the dimensional tear getting bigger and bigger.

“It’s not disappearing.”

That was a serious problem, and Junhyuk collected himself.

“Can you find out what is keeping the dimensional tear open?” he asked.

“I can’t find out what’s behind it, but the tear is growing,” Elise responded.

Junhyuk was watching it all.

“Considering its size, larger monsters might appear. Have the iron soldiers stay here, and evacuate the rest of the people. This may take longer than expected.”

After saying that, Junhyuk looked at the woman’s body once more. He stared at her and used the Spatial Slash on her again. Her body was sliced in half, but the dimensional tear did not dissipate.

Junhyuk folded his arms and stared at the tear. The tear kept growing after the pack of wolves got annihilated, but there was nothing coming through it. He just kept staring at it, until suddenly, something came out of the tear. This time, it was jaguars.

The jaguars’ claws could even slice through iron soldiers.

Junhyuk watched as the jaguars rushed toward him, and he raised his swords.

“I shall sweep them up!” he said and swung his swords.

Junhyuk had fought twenty-five twin-headed ogres at once, so he had gotten used to fighting many enemies at the same time. The jaguars had superb attacks, but their hides were weak, so he slashed through them easily. However, the jaguars displayed their speed prowess, and he had to trigger his acceleration to keep up.

Some jaguars came closed to escaping, and some did, but Junhyuk managed to kill all within his reach. The jaguars that got away were destroyed by the iron soldiers.

He has stopped jaguars, but he was now scowling. The dimensional tear was getting even bigger.

Things would become even more problematic if stronger monsters were to appear, and if an A-ranked monster showed up, he wouldn’t be able to do anything. Junhyuk stared at the dimensional tear. He had to stop it somehow.

When he looked around, he saw that the soldiers were still there, but the citizens were being evacuated by the quarantine team through the quarantine vehicles.

“Why don’t you attack the dimensional tear with the iron soldiers?” he asked calmly.

“Won’t that be dangerous?”

“We can’t let it be. Something strong might come out of it. What do you want to do?”

“We’ll attack the tear.”

Junhyuk distanced himself from the tear, and the iron soldiers began their attacks. However, their missiles got sucked into the tear. When Junhyuk saw the tear swallow up the missiles, he laughed out loud.

“What can we do now?”

A moment later, more monsters rushed out, hippo-like monsters, and they all ran toward him.

“What can I do?”

He swung his swords once more.

Eunseo was watching a monitor and frowning. The missiles had been swallowed by the dimensional tear, and she did not know what to do.

“What should we do?”

“The situation isn’t great. The missiles aren’t working, so I’m thinking of sending an iron soldier into the tear.”

“If the iron soldier goes in, can it still communicate?”

“I’m not sure about that. I can’t answer that question.”

“What happens if we can’t control it?”

“We should use an automatic process. We’ll send one in, and it’ll check out what is inside and return. I have a program like that set up.”

“Then, do it.”

The iron soldier cost hundreds of millions of dollars to make, so they couldn’t just send one in.

“I’ll send one in now,” Elise said, smiling.

After stopping the wave, the iron soldier advanced into the tear, and everyone watched it nervously. Money wasn’t an issue now. They had never experienced a tear like that one, and monsters just kept coming from it.

Eunseo had Junhyuk deal with the monster waves all by himself. She had heard everything about him, but she was still shocked by what he could do. There were so many monsters, and he was all by himself.

She was very worried about him. The roof of Yongsan station was already completely filled with bodies, and she was concerned with how they would remove all of them.

The waves did not give them any time to clean up. They kept triggering at five-minute intervals, so there was no means with which they could remove the bodies.

They couldn’t simply detonate the dimensional tear either, so they could only trust Junhyuk.

—

A previously unimagined dimensional tear. Junhyuk was getting tired of slashing monsters, but he was expecting results from the iron soldier that had just entered the tear.

The tear was still growing, already reaching a diameter of five meters. The tear was big enough for twin-headed ogres to start coming out. That was possible now.

Junhyuk had thought it was good that he could predict the monster waves, but after dealing with all of them up to now, there were over two thousand bodies piled up.

Their weight made it very possible that the building might collapse. Junhyuk was seriously worried. The soldiers had already evacuated, only military helicopters kept flying around. The building was still standing, and Junhyuk got up slowly once the time for the next expected wave approached.

Only an iron soldier was protecting him now, and Junhyuk pulled out his sword from a monster he had just killed. The tear grew again, and different monsters came through.

Boom!

With heavy footsteps, golems appeared, and there were more than fifty of them.

“I’m tired.”

He had thought he would only have to kill the infected, so he had come to prevent others from getting infected, but now the infection wasn’t the problem.

The powers of those infected were shocking. The woman was able to dispel his force field, which had never happened before, but he hadn’t thought he would die at the time since his equipment was so much stronger than anything on Earth.

However, now he knew that he the powers of those infected were beyond limitations.

Junhyuk ran toward the golems. Their cores needed to be destroyed, and he was capable of doing it. As he attacked, the golems shattered, and Junhyuk murmured to himself while they did, “When is it coming out?”

An iron soldier had gone inside, and it was already the second wave after it had done so. He was destroying the golems, but he was incredibly frustrated. At that moment, he thought he had to talk to Agenchra about what was going on.

He dealt with the golems alone, but he was exhausted and collapse on top of the golems’ shattered bodies.

“Agenchra.”

The iron soldier had gone into a tear that contained that many monsters, so he didn’t expect it to be OK.

Junhyuk called for Agenchra because he wanted to know what management was thinking. He did so multiple times, but there was no answer, so he stared at the open sky above him. Without Agenchra, he was unable to talk to the Dimensional Battlefield Management.

Staring at the dimensional tear, Junhyuk sighed.

The tear was there, and an infected person had created it, and it kept going in perpetuity.

“It never stops!”

Monsters kept coming, so what could he do about the tear? He thought about it. Junhyuk had been able to stop the waves, but each following one was composed of stronger monsters than the one previous to it.

He wondered if he should stay there or not. So far, all monsters that had shown up could have been stopped by the iron soldiers and the army. However, twin-headed ogres were a different matter.

Thump, thump, thump!

Suddenly, the ground started shaking. It started small at first, but as he looked down, the shaking got stronger. It got so strong that Yongsan Station collapse. However, the roof remained standing, and Junhyuk frowned and looked around.

The weight of the bodies had sunk the stantion, but the dimensional tear was still there, and the monsters kept pouring out of the empty air.

Suddenly, Junhyuk thought about someone he could ask about the dimensional tear. So, he pulled out his communication orb and said, “Vera.”

“What’s up?”

“A dimensional tear has appeared where I live. Monsters are coming through it by the thousands. How can I stop it?”

“A dimensional tear? What happened?”

“A person infected by a poring appeared, and she was trying to warp, but I killed her, and now the dimensional tear won’t disappear.”

“Poring? Why?!”

“Do you know anything?”

“I can’t read the minds of the managers, but do you want to stop the dimensional tear?”

“Yes.”

Vera laughed brightly.

“Then, go inside it.”

“What?!”
