That was the reason why they did not fear death.

"I see. You are not yet dead."

Jaehwan understood.

"YES! We will not die! Because…"

"You came here through the [Narrow Door]."

"…Huh? So, you knew! Hah!" the General exclaimed. Jaehwan focused his energy into [Suspicion] and found a thin line above each of their heads, the link that connected them to their bodies. That was what allowed them to return to their bodies.

"Whatever you do, we will not die…"

"No, you will die here," Jaehwan declared as he watched the lines.

"Stop bluffing! You foo- UGH!"

Jaehwan swung his sword. Everyone heard ripping sounds from above. The Generals closed their eyes, thinking it was aimed at them. However, they did not feel any pain and opened their eyes.

"…What? Have you given up?"

Another General stood up, reversing his sword grip. He was pointing it at his own stomach.

"Y-you wait right there. When I return…"

"W-Wait! Something's wrong!"

The General turned, and in the next moment, he felt severe pain from the top of his head.

"AAAARGH!"

The Generals all began to scream in pain and Laika s.h.i.+vered in fear as he watched. He had never seen such a thing after he became a General. Laika, who was standing a distance away, clearly saw what Jaehwan was doing.

'Impossible..!'

One of the Generals shouted angrily, "What have you done?!"

The General had exceptional senses and knew what had happened.

"The connection is broken…!"

The link that connected them to their bodies, or rather, the only line that allowed them to return back to their bodies... If it was broken, then…

Jaehwan asked, "How does it feel?"

The Generals felt a s.h.i.+ver run down their spines. It was a feeling that they had long forgotten. They knew what it was.

"Death awaits you now."
