The moment Kang Han defeated the A-rank Dirt Dragon with a single blow, thousands of comments flooded in, all praising Kang Han and the Justice Guild.
The crowd gathered around Gangnam Station Gate shared the same sentiment.
The atmosphere had been building since Jang Su Ho displayed unexpected prowess, but when Kang Han took the final battle, the crowd erupted in cheers.
“Does the Justice Guild sell merchandise?”
“I want to buy some too. They’re seriously cool.”
“I got chills when he charged with lightning in both hands. Look at my arm.”
“People were calling them frauds, but the Justice Guild’s skills are no joke.”
Yet in stark contrast to the bustling surroundings, the area directly in front of the Gate was deathly silent.
Everyone was too busy reading Woo Jun Kyung’s expression—Sa Ma Young’s right arm and the true power behind the Sama Guild.
In preparation for the Justice Guild’s potential failure, the Sama Guild had stationed two elite teams on standby.
An assault force of staggering proportions, composed entirely of A-rank Awakeners with Woo Jun Kyung as team leader.
Yet hours of waiting in front of the Gate had been rendered pointless.
“Um, the Justice Guild should be coming out soon… Perhaps you could return to the Guild now…?”
An Awakeners Association staff member spoke cautiously, but Woo Jun Kyung merely stared down at the phone in his grip with dark, expressionless eyes.
“This is bad.”
The staff member internally clicked his tongue and retreated.
Woo Jun Kyung’s pride had clearly been wounded.
‘And rightfully so.’
Those elite teams had mobilized directly, yet the Justice Guild had succeeded in clearing the Gate.
Woo Jun Kyung’s wounded pride was no trivial matter.
Though they stood beneath a hastily erected tent, the summer heat was oppressive—yet a cold chill seemed to radiate from Woo Jun Kyung’s presence.
The staff member sighed quietly and turned his attention to the tablet displaying the live broadcast of the Gate conquest.
The live feed had paused briefly, and a short replay was now playing.
It was Kang Han’s final strike.
After exchanging words with the team’s healer, Kang Han had manifested spears of pure electricity in both hands.
His solitary figure walking toward the colossal monster seemed almost divine—a sacred hero.
And in the moment the Dirt Dragon opened its maw, bristling with hundreds of teeth—
Kang Han, propelled by pure S-rank strength alone, landed atop the Dirt Dragon’s head.
In one fluid motion, he drove both brilliant yellow spears down into the monster’s crown.
The battle ended in that instant.
The Dirt Dragon, its jaws still agape, petrified as its body oxidized to black ash from tail to head, while the camera rapidly zoomed in on Kang Han standing atop its skull, filling the screen.
His hair swayed gently in the dungeon’s wind, and his lowered eyes gleamed with brilliant yellow electricity.
Kang Han’s appearance was exactly as the crowd had described—godlike.
“Oh no.”
As the replay ended and the live chat returned to the screen, the staff member muttered involuntarily.
The comments had already begun mentioning the Sama Guild.

– Wait, wasn’t Sama Guild supposed to be on standby? How is this happening? lol
– They’re going back empty-handed
– But seriously, the guild master being S-rank is just so cool
– Ugh, Sa Ma Young is only A-rank so he doesn’t have that presence
– Look at Kang Han, he’s got the answer
– If Sa Ma Young were the same A-rank, wouldn’t he have struggled?
– Would he have gone himself? He’d probably just sent his subordinates
– Being A-rank, he’s probably too scared to take risks, right? lol

Woo Jun Kyung’s eyes darkened further.
That’s when it happened.
“They’re here!”
“Wow! They’re amazing!”
“Justice Guild!”
The outside erupted into chaos in an instant.
Woo Jun Kyung burst out of the tent.
There stood seven members of the Justice Guild, bathed in camera flashes from a reporter and cheers from the crowd.

* * *

‘Good. They’re here as promised.’
Before entering the Dungeon, I had called the reporter who had covered my joining the Justice Guild back then.
It was to ask him to photograph us clearing the Guerrilla Gate and emerging.
But the reporter’s response was lukewarm.

“My superiors told me not to write any more articles about the Justice Guild….”
“Don’t you have any ambition for an exclusive scoop?”

Ah, he couldn’t resist acting alone.
It seemed he had ignored his superiors’ orders and come anyway.
I stepped slightly to the side to ensure Kang Han and Jang Su Ho remained at the center of attention, then glanced around at the crowd.
“Kyaaah! So cool, Justice Guild!”
“I want to become a fan starting today!”
“Jang Su Ho is so cute!”
The crowd’s reaction was excellent.
It was completely different from before we entered the Gate.
The broadcast of our clear had been remarkably effective.
I forced down the corners of my mouth that kept trying to curl upward into an unbecoming grin and followed behind Kang Han.
Somewhere along the way, they had even set up an impressive tent bearing the Awakener Association’s seal.
Among the people pouring out from inside, I spotted the face of an Association staff member who had been there before we entered the Gate.
Kang Han walked forward with steady strides and reported to the staff member.
“Justice Guild has cleared the Guerrilla Gate.”
“Th-thank you for your hard work. We confirm Justice Guild’s Gate clear on July 2nd at 20:57. However….”
“Before exiting the Dungeon, we confirmed all monsters had been eliminated.”
Kang Han’s green eyes shifted toward the area behind the staff member.
“A backup team is unnecessary.”
Following Kang Han’s gaze, I also craned my neck to check what was behind the Association staff member.
When had they shown up?
Members of the Sama Guild, dressed in uniforms bearing the guild’s red seal, were glaring at us with hostile eyes.
And at the very front of their group was a somewhat familiar face.
It was the man who had handed me a contract on the day I registered as an Awakener.
I couldn’t quite remember his name, but I could recognize his rather handsome face.
“Still, we should go in and verify….”
“The Gate is already closing, however.”
Han Ji Sung glanced at the Gate, which was narrowing with each passing moment, and spoke.
“Ah, y-yes, that’s true.”
The Association staff member, who had been trying to give the Sama Guild some credit, had run out of things to say.
As the staff member hesitated, unsure how to end this awkwardly, someone came striding forward from behind.
It was that handsome man from the Sama Guild.
Was he coming to confront Kang Han?
In front of all these people?
But his approach was strange.
He wasn’t heading toward where Kang Han was speaking with the Association staff member, but rather toward me, standing off to the side.
His target wasn’t Kang Han.
It was me, standing at the very back of our guild members.
“What? Why are you coming toward me?”
“Wait, what are you—!”
Lee Yu Chan, who had been stretching beside me, tried to stop the Sama Guild man.
“Move.”
“Ugh!”
But the man who’d swatted Lee Yu Chan’s hand away with a folding knife he’d pulled from his waist just as quickly seized my wrist.
What the hell is this bastard doing?
Why is he hitting someone else’s kid?
“How dare you be so rude.”
I’d planned to call him out loudly so everyone around could hear, but I couldn’t finish my sentence.
My wrist throbbed with sharp pain from his grip.
But I had no intention of showing that I was hurt, even if it killed me.
I hardened my expression and looked up at him.
“Yeo Joo.”
“What?”
“What is it?”
“That’s what I’m asking. You need to speak properly if you want me to understand.”
I tried to wrench my wrist free, but he was so strong that all I got was a twisting pain.
At this rate, it’s going to break.
“What is that ability of yours?”
Trying to dig into someone else’s secrets.
I’d figured him out back when he shoved that contract without the advance payment written on it.
This guy has no basic decency.
In the meantime, Kang Han rushed over so fast the wind whipped around us and forcibly tore the man’s hand away from my wrist.
Whether it was a difference in rank or not, the man who’d swatted Lee Yu Chan away like a fly was inevitably pushed backward by Kang Han’s strength.
“Damn it.”
Now that my wrist was finally free, it throbbed and tingled.
At the same time, the atmosphere around us grew even more ominous.
Kang Han and the man whose name I didn’t know faced off, while my guild members formed a protective circle around me.
“Yeo Joo, are you okay?!”
Jang Su Ho asked urgently, as if he was about to draw his shield right then and there.
“Yeah, I’m fine….”
“Woo Jun Kyung, what are you doing?”
Kang Han spoke in a voice even lower than usual, pushing the man’s shoulder back.
Wait.
This guy is Woo Jun Kyung?!
That changes things.
No wonder he’s so handsome—I always see him carrying around a fan or something!
I couldn’t just leave my wrist in the hands of someone who specializes in poison.
I immediately cast self-healing on myself.

[ Self-healing penalty applied. ]
[ Used 20% of maximum health to treat critical wounds. ]
[ Remaining health: 55/100 ]

Damn.
My health, which I’d boosted with potions, plummeted in an instant.
Suddenly, it felt as though someone had placed a stone on my shoulders—exhaustion crashed over me.
“Come out here, hyung. I’ll kill that bastard for you.”
Jang Su Ho growled at Kang Han.
“Stay out of this, mad dog.”
“Woo Jun Kyung.”
Whether Woo Jun Kyung’s comment about mad dogs had properly enraged Jang Su Ho, Kang Han’s eyes had turned a sickly yellow.
I had no intention of staying silent either.
“Is this how the Sama Guild treats their healers? I made the right call not joining.”
Then Woo Jun Kyung’s dark eyes turned toward me.
All of that was because of the poison he carried within his body.
Ugh, it gave me chills.
“And you didn’t even know? What my ability is. You didn’t even know I was a healer when you made the recruitment offer, did you, Sama Guild?”
“How could that be called simple healing….”
“And don’t call a perfectly normal person a mad dog, will you? The one who only chases after their master’s ass is you.”
