The Main Characters That Only I Know-Chapter 355:

Yu-hyun understood what the people who called themselves the liberation army were thinking.

He also accepted how wary and tense they were when they saw him.

He had appeared out of nowhere from the sky and swept away the legion’s soldiers, saving the villagers. They were grateful, but they couldn’t trust this powerful being completely.

He understood.

He understood everything.

“But that doesn’t mean I’ll let you point your swords at me.”

He wouldn’t take their lives. But he intended to make them feel how much they had provoked him.

He took a light step forward.

Boom!

A massive pressure that felt like the world was collapsing crushed the liberation army.

“Ugh!”

“W-what is this…!”

The people who were pressed down by the pressure slammed into the ground.

In an instant, 80% of the liberation army’s forces that had gathered in the village were incapacitated.

Only 20% remained standing. Among them, only one man who was at the front kept his head up and stared at Yu-hyun properly.

“You’re quite resilient. Has there been a general upward leveling over time?”

The people who could withstand Yu-hyun’s pressure were at least mid-level collectors or higher. The man at the front was high-level. His level seemed to easily exceed 90.

Then it was time to move on to the next step.

Yu-hyun took another light step.

Vroooom───!!!

A stronger pressure engulfed the liberation army. The 20% who had clenched their teeth and endured it all fell to their knees or flattened on the ground, except for the leader.

The leader, who was presumed to be the leader of the liberation army, gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

Blood vessels popped up on his neck, and his eyes were red with bloodshot. His gaze never left Yu-hyun.

Soon, a light descended from the sky above his head. Yu-hyun frowned behind his mask at the sight.

It was not ordinary energy. It was not a power that humans could wield, but something much more noble. It was a blessing from a Divine Spirit.

“Is it the power of a direct contract?”

Sure enough, the man’s face relaxed a bit. The Divine Spirit gave him strength so that he wouldn’t be pushed back by Yu-hyun’s power.

Yu-hyun quietly watched the scene and analyzed the situation in his mind.

‘He is estimated to be a high-level collector, but if he actually receives support from a Divine Spirit, his power would be much stronger than actual collectors. It’s quite significant that an entity that can help can intervene in a fight.’

When the earth became fully part of the mixed world, the system no longer blocked the Divine Spirits’ intervention. The earth was no longer a lower world classified as material.

The leader who endured the pressure that crushed his whole body immediately grabbed a spear and shield made of light.

Yu-hyun recognized who the leader had contracted with just by looking at his weapon.

“You’ve contracted with Achilles.”

“…How do you know?”

“You’ll see.”

In fact, he didn’t guess it, but found out by using the book floating above the leader’s head. But that was enough to instill fear in him.

The leader bit his teeth and ran towards Yu-hyun. He wanted to end this quickly and thrust his spear towards Yu-hyun’s forehead.

“Do you want to kill me?”

Yu-hyun asked, but there was no answer. He didn’t hesitate to attack because he thought he was facing an opponent who would stake everything on him.

It was true, and he decided to let it go with a generous heart. It wasn’t bad to see him doing his best.

Yu-hyun dodged the incoming spear and reached out his arm.

The leader tried to block Yu-hyun’s hand with his shield. As soon as Yu-hyun’s fingertips touched the shield, the leader knelt down without knowing it.

A black energy that raged above his head pressed him down with tremendous force.

It was CSeven Demons Black Sky Divine Skill Variation: Heavenly Pressure Silence Breaker.

“Kuuuuuuu!!!”

He bit his teeth and tried to endure somehow, but the more he did, the more his body sank into the ground. The spear and shield of light that he held disappeared. He couldn’t hold on any longer as the Divine Spirit’s support vanished.

The leader lay on the ground. Yu-hyun confirmed his state and withdrew his power.

Silence surrounded them.

The villagers who watched this fight from afar shivered with anxiety, and the liberation army also avoided Yu-hyun’s gaze and waited for his judgment.

Even their leader, whom they trusted, couldn’t last a few seconds against Yu-hyun.

“Oh my god.”

Kate, who came out late with Jimmy, couldn’t close her mouth as she saw the situation outside.

She knew Yu-hyun was strong, but she didn’t know he was this strong. She thought that even if he won the fight, he wouldn’t be able to avoid getting hurt, but he was fine.

The fight was one-sided. He didn’t even injure a finger. What was more shocking was that there was not a single death. He had spared all these people.

Yu-hyun was that strong.

“Why…why are you here?”

The leader of the liberation army, who had lost to Yu-hyun, asked with a streak of blood on his lips.

“Tell me. What is your purpose?”

“I don’t have any purpose.”

“Then why…”

“Why did I save you? Ask that lady over there. I’ll tell you one thing. It would be better for you not to mess with me or try to use me. This time, I showed you some mercy, but…”

Yu-hyun’s gaze swept over the liberation army. Every time his eyes met them, they shuddered on the ground.

“There won’t be a next time. Remember that.”

No one answered, but Yu-hyun thought that was enough.

He had confirmed that fear towards him was engraved in their hearts.

Yu-hyun turned his back and headed out of the village. He had already learned everything he needed to know, so he didn’t need to stay here any longer.

“Wait a minute!”

Kate hurried after Yu-hyun.

“Are you leaving now?”

“Didn’t I tell you not to worry about me?”

“You’re going to the Black Thunder Lord, right?”

“…”

Yu-hyun looked at Kate instead of answering. He was wearing Apollya’s mask, and even a bold person would be terrified by his gaze, but Kate bit her lip and didn’t avoid his eyes. ƒreewebɳovel.com

“So…what do you want to say?”

“I’ll help you.”

“Sister!”

Jimmy shouted from the side. Surprisingly, Yu-hyun was the same.

“If you’re trying to use me now…”

“That’s not it. I heard your warning just now. Do you think I’m crazy enough to disobey you right away?”

“Still, you want to do that?”

“I’m not trying to use you, I’m trying to help you sincerely.”

Yu-hyun gestured her to continue with his chin. Kate took a deep breath and calmed her mind before opening her mouth.

“Do you know where the Black Thunder Lord is?”

“I’ll find out eventually. I don’t need to ask here.”

“The Black Thunder Lord’s residence is called the Black Thunder Palace, and it’s very far from here. If you go blindly, you’ll surely get lost. Even if you take the shortest route possible, you’ll have to pass through three cities in the middle, and one of them has a ‘Nasang Gate’ that only allows authorized people to pass through.”

“…”

Yu-hyun watched Kate with a deeper gaze.

He knew what she wanted to say.

“Can you handle it?”

“I wouldn’t have brought this up if I couldn’t.”

Kate didn’t avoid Yu-hyun’s eyes. Her pupils didn’t tremble anymore.

Her steady and upright gaze stared at Yu-hyun.

The people who watched the scene sweated coldly and swallowed their saliva.

In their eyes, it looked like Yu-hyun would kill Kate at any moment.

But.

“Pass.”

Yu-hyun smiled and took off Apollya’s mask.

Kate, who was prepared for death, asked him like a fool without knowing herself at his answer that drained her strength.

“Yes?”

“You passed.”

“Uh, that’s… I mean…”

“I admire your unwavering Divine Spirit. That’s how a person should be. If you had said that with a half-hearted attitude, I would have been angry, but you didn’t, so you passed. I don’t dislike people like you.”

Yu-hyun always respected people who followed their convictions.

It didn’t matter if they were strong or weak. What mattered was how far they could push their will.

No matter how powerful a person was, they would eventually break and crumble in the face of death.

He could never trust such a person.

But Kate was different.

“I don’t know why you are doing this, Kate. You must have some reason, and you must have decided that you can’t achieve it without me.”

“…And you accept that?”

“I just thought that you were good enough to be my companion. At least you seem to have more brains than the other idiots.”

The rebels who knew who he was referring to made bitter faces. But they couldn’t refute Yu-hyun’s words, since they were all true.

“I thought you would be a decent guide. Do you mind?”

“…No. I was just surprised by your sudden offer.”

Kate said and extended her hand.

“I’m Kate Clinchel. Please take care of me on our way to the Black Thunder Palace.”

“I’m Kang Yu-hyun.”

“Now that I think about it, your name sounds familiar…”

“Sis!”

That’s when Jimmy intervened.

“Take me with you!”

“Jimmy!”

Kate planned to leave Jimmy in the village and move with Yu-hyun alone. But Jimmy was quick-witted and clung to Kate.

“If you’re going, I’m going too! I don’t want to be left alone!”

“Jimmy! Don’t be stubborn! Do you know how dangerous it is where we’re going?!”

Kate was ready to risk her life to help Yu-hyun. Of course, she couldn’t take her only blood relative with her. But Jimmy was stubborn. He grabbed Kate’s clothes and refused to let go.

Kate was about to use force to get rid of him.

“Let him come.”

“What?”

Kate was the one who was surprised when Yu-hyun agreed to take Jimmy with him.

“He won’t be able to relax here anyway, and this place is not that safe either.”

“But…”

“It won’t bother me to have one more person in our group. Besides, Jimmy helped me a little bit.”

Yu-hyun thought that Jimmy had something to do with his awakening. Although it was hindsight, Jimmy had played a big role in bringing Yu-hyun here.

He didn’t mind doing a small favor for such a kid.

“…If that’s what you want.”

“Hehe.”

“Jimmy, I’ll see you later.”

“Aw, why!”

Yu-hyun moved his feet as he watched the two siblings. Kate and Jimmy hurriedly followed him.

“Are you leaving right now?”

“We have to move as soon as possible.”

“Wait a minute! I’ll get my stuff ready!”

Kate said and disappeared somewhere. Soon, she came back with a large backpack on her back.

“Let’s go.”

“You’re very well-prepared. Did you expect this?”

“I’ve been waiting for this for a long time.”

Yu-hyun shrugged his shoulders. He had nothing to complain about having such a thorough guide.

“Kate…”

“Thank you for taking care of us until now. But I have to go.”

The leader of the liberation army could not stop Kate from speaking firmly. He nodded and agreed to let her go.

“…I apologize for being so rude earlier. I will never forget your kindness for sparing my life despite my insolence. And…I know this is asking too much, but please take care of Kate and Jimmy.”

The leader bowed deeply to Yu-hyun at a 90-degree angle. His subordinates shouted in protest, but he remained silent.

“How many people like you are there in the liberation army? You don’t seem like the real leader.”

“…Did you notice?”

“No offense, but you are not qualified to be called a leader with that level of skill.”

The leader smiled bitterly and nodded.

“You are right. I am only a deputy at best. The real leader of the liberation army is much stronger.”

“Who is that?”

“I don’t know either. He always acts in secret and his identity is shrouded in mystery.”

“How can you trust such a person? How do you know he won’t become the second Black Thunder Lord?”

“Because he is the only one who reaches out to the people who have fallen to the ground.”

“…”

Yu-hyun did not say anything more to the leader’s unwavering gaze.

The leader also did not bother Yu-hyun any further, as if that was enough for him.

Yu-hyun urged Kate to leave.

“Let’s go.”

“Okay!”

Kate held Jimmy’s hand and followed Yu-hyun.

Their goal was the Black Thunder Palace, where Kang Hye-rim was staying.

Yu-hyun decided to meet her no matter what happened.
