The Tutorial Is Too Hard-Chapter 365 - Earth (5)

Chapter 365 – Earth (5)

I stood still for a while.

Looking at the blood-red stones.

“Let’s go back and think about it. That would be good.”

It didn’t seem like something I could fix right away.

Although the shrines of the gods of the Pantheon were all destroyed, the problem of Earth will still remain.

Of course, I believed that Yong-yong and Hochi were coping well.

In the midst of this, it was not desirable to do something else.

Even more so if I don’t really know about the new problem.

[I agree.]

I decided to take care of the sage who became a stone.

The self was completely gone, and even when I held it in my hand, there was no response.

He had turned into something like an energy source that contained divine power.

There was no reason not to take it.

It was a treasure with condensed faith.

It was such an object that would surely have turned eyes if the gods who were sucking the source and putting a straw on the planet to gain more power had seen it.

It wasn’t that great just because of the power it contained.

[Can you figure out how?]

The God of Hope muttered.

I was thinking similarly.

If it is possible.

If you can attack other gods, downgrade them to an energy source, and absorb them.

You can literally accumulate overwhelming power.

[I could make all the gods in the world kneel down and beg.]

The God of Hope’s point of view seemed a little different.

It won’t make a big difference.

“I have to do some research.”

I said that, but I was skeptical.

It won’t be easy.

A sub-space was opened and the sage stone was stored next to the sealed Abubu.

I closed the subspace again and prepared to return to Earth.

The war is over.

The first war since I came to Earth.

No, it was the first war I ever fought.

Until now, I fought countless times, but this was my first war.

I have always fought alone with nothing to protect.

But this time it was different.

There was something to protect, Earth and the believers.

Together with the giants, I formed a force and fought against the huge forces of the Pantheon.

I didn’t feel any special feelings.

Of course, there was a difference from fighting alone.

Thinking that the war was over safely, I felt a sense of relief.

It was the opposite of the emptiness and regret that I felt every time a battle was over before.

“Warrior?”

After a while, Seregia called out to me.

“Nothing. Let’s go back.”

* * *

Earth was still in chaos.

Contrary to what was feared, there was no direct invasion of Earth by the gods of the Pantheon.

However, the troops were a problem.

The unidentified force’s number was too large.

Most of them were killed or crushed immediately after being summoned, but some survived, and some actively initiated destruction on Earth.

Fortunately, at some point, no additional summoning portals were created.

The situation was a little different from the beginning when the summoning portals appeared endlessly and even changed their locations randomly.

It was because the giants invaded the gods of the Pantheon in retaliation, and the gods of the Pantheon, who were quick to notice, just pulled out their feet.

However, the troops already put onto Earth were still there.

The troops were never repatriated back to their home.

Even before that, the summoning portal itself was closed as the gods of the Pantheon were extinguished by the giants.

The way to return had disappeared.

Some troops summoned by the gods of the Pantheon did not have the will to fight.

On the other hand, some were very belligerent.

This was the case with the Mahabaha tribe summoned to Australia.

This race, with dozens of black horns on their foreheads, did not fall to death during their summoning.

All the summoned members came safely to Earth and began to carry out their purpose.

“Kaaak! Kill it!”

“Smash and break it!”

“Burn them! Ka-Ak!”

“Our God is coming here!”

They shouted so and began to destroy everything they saw around them.

A group of people who were running away from the Mahabaha tribesmen screamed.

“It’s blocked!”

There was an invisible wall erected in the air.

People knocked on the transparent wall, but, of course, it was a wall that ordinary humans could not break.

In the sight of those who looked back in haste, the Mahabaha tribesmen who had been pursuing them were seen.

People had no intention of opposing them.

They are monsters who crush concrete walls and destroy skyscrapers with force.

An Awakened might be able to stop them.

However, the awakened people didn’t even see where they went.

Kang!

The people tried hitting the transparent wall with tools such as a wrench that people had, but that too was no use.

But people were desperate.

People hit the wall endlessly with the objects they were holding or with their bare fists.

The tools broke and blood splattered from their fists, but they couldn’t stop.

Dozens of the Mahabaha tribesmen were running towards them.

Humans who were blocked in front had nothing to do other than bang on the wall.

A message appeared in front of them.

[Miracle- Summon Intermediate Guardian]

[11 intermediate guardian apprentices are summoned.]

Bang!

As a powerful explosion broke out, dozens of Mahabaha tribesmen, who were running toward the humans blocked by the wall, were pushed out.

When the dust generated by the explosion subsided, the seven summoned appeared.

Summoned, they were chatting.

“Damn, please let me take some time to rest.”

Someone complained that way.

“Where is this again? Is it New York?”

Someone looked around.

“No, it’s Sydney. I’ve been here before.”

They looked very relaxed.

They seemed to feel annoyed rather than fearful in this situation.

“The training is crap, but the practice is worse. At least give me time to breathe and pamper me. I will die of overwork.”

“Don’t say that. This is better than staying locked in Hell difficulty forever.”

The complaining person agreed with their words.

They were challengers who were stuck on the Tutorial’s Hell difficulty.

It wasn’t the low sections like the 1st and 2nd floors, but the challengers of the Hell difficulty of the United States, who were stagnant without exceeding the early 30th floor.

“Help me!”

Those who were smacking the wall when they saw them asked for help.

The challengers were bewildered and paused rather than seeing them and running to help.

“Eh. Why are there people left in the barrier?”

“Ah. The protected targets are neglected here.”

The challengers quickly reported the situation.

In the meantime, the Mahabaha tribesmen, who had collapsed due to the explosion, woke up.

Recalling the explosion that occurred at the same time as the challengers’ appearance, the Mahabaha tribesmen quickly made a decision.

“Kaaak! It’s the enemy!”

“A new enemy has appeared!”

The Mahabaha tribe shouted out loud, summoning their people scattered throughout the city.

The summoned challengers frowned at their appearances.

“I think I saw them on the 31st floor. Isn’t that a demon?”

“I’m sick of seeing those with horns on their heads now.”

[Existing mission will be canceled.]

[A new mission has occurred.]

[Mission-Survivor protection.]

[For unknown reasons, protected areas remained within the restricted area. For unknown reasons, the safety of protected persons is at risk. Reinforcements will be dispatched to ensure the safe containment of protected persons. Protect those under protection until reinforcements arrive.]

[Time remaining until reinforcement: about 5 minutes]

A message appeared telling them what to do.

As they read the message, they smiled.

“It’s okay if it’s 50 minutes instead of 5 minutes. Let’s take a rest here.”

“Yeah. Hahaha.”

They were confident.

Until the arrival of the Mahabaha reinforcements.

A terribly large number of Mahabaha tribesmen flocked to the outer walls of the building because they were unable to fill the roads.

“50 minutes?”

“5 minutes is just right.”

The Mahabaha tribesmen gathered in no time and ran toward the challengers without delay.

“Kaaak!”

“It’s the enemy! Kill them!”

“Burn them!”

“Tear and kill!”

Dozens of Mahabaha tribesmen were bombarded at once by the magic of the challengers, but they did not stop.

“Soon our god is coming here!”

They were only moving forward, crying out for the existence of God.

* * *

Ka-Ak!

Several Mahabaha tribesmen attempted to jump over from the roof of a building.

It was to attack ordinary people who were protected by the challengers.

The Mahabaha were trying to attack the challengers, realizing that they were protecting the weak humans behind them.

Each time the challengers had to take a break to protect the weak.

There was an endless explosion.

The flame soared higher than the building.

A whirlwind blew, and the asphalt floor froze and melted.

Challengers were pouring out a variety of magic to deal with the large number of Mahabaha tribesmen.

They swung their fists at the stuck Mahabaha tribesmen.

The heads of the Mahabaha tribesmen who were beaten by a fierce punch fell under their shoulders.

Several Mahabaha tribesmen were swept away at the same time by each stroke of the sword that was released.

The exchange cost was overwhelming.

None of the challengers had died, but they already killed thousands of Mahabaha tribesmen.

They are not just superhumans, but challengers who have survived for a long time in the Hell difficulty level created by the gods to cultivate talents to be apostles, and have gained some achievements.

They were challengers who had been together for a long time and had been working together, as they overcame many enemies.

But this battle was overwhelming for them too.

It was because of the people behind them.

Even if your mission is to protect someone in the Tutorial, you don’t have to worry too much about it.

If you failed, it was possible to challenge the floor again.

Your own life was the most important thing.

Then the life of a colleague.

Then the information about the stage.

But on Earth it was different.

The people behind them were real, living humans.

They couldn’t leave them unattended or hurt them.

To protect them, they had to either continue to allow gaps or constrain their own strength.

“Damn it. I will die.”

The challenger, who was bleeding from his forehead, muttered.

“When are they coming?”

The five minutes that the message told them had already passed.

“Kaah! God is coming!”

“God is looking at us!”

“God is with us!”

The Mahabaha tribesmen were crying out to their god with great strength.

At that time, a space opened up in the air.

Seeing it, the Mahabaha burst into cheers.

The challengers also smiled quietly.

“You idiots. That’s our side.”

It was a human who came out of the cracked space.

No, although they were human, they were also inhuman.

[Reinforcement has arrived.]

[The mission has been completed successfully.]

[Until the arrival of the reinforcement, you have completely protected those behind you.]

[Reward will be paid according to future performance.]

[Reinforcement (1/1)]

[Lee Hochi]

Hochi walked out of the space, confirming the crowds and challengers gathered in the corner, and raised his hand toward the Mahabaha tribe.

Hochi didn’t really enjoy fighting with anyone.

He hated it very much.

Lee Ho-jae advised not to wipe out those summoned through the summoning portal indiscriminately.

Hochi agreed with his opinion.

They were victims.

However, seeing the Mahabaha tribesmen in front of him, he could see that they were not of that kind.

They were aggressively attacking and were attempting destructive acts.

The Mahabaha were not an object of mercy to Hochi, who protected Earth and its believers.

Lee Ho-jae once said that when the day came when Hochi had to put blood on his hands, he would regret not having experienced it beforehand.

It was tiring.

Hochi, who had something to protect, was willing to be cruel.

[Magic oppression]

[Absolute targeting]

[Generating ultra-small black hole]

A small black space opened above Hochi’s hand.

“Activate.”

It was a short and simple starter word.

As Hochi spoke out the starter word, the nearby Mahabaha tribesmen began to be dragged into the space.

It was an invisible force.

And it was an overwhelming power.

The Mahabaha desperately resisted so as not to be dragged by force.

It was all pointless.

No matter how hard they tried to endure, the Mahabaha tribesmen were sucked into the space.

The power of the black hole was applied only to the Mahabaha and anything blocking them.

Therefore, there was no damage to the people or buildings around it.

The Mahabaha tribesmen were too strong to hold onto something properly.

Even if they tried to hold on to the streetlight next to them, they were already being sucked into a hole in space before reaching for the streetlight.

The Mahabaha tribesmen inside or behind the building were sucked into the building with the rubble of the collapsed building.

The Mahabaha became bloody and sucked into the space.

Just 1 second.

Shortly after the space opened and began to suck in the Mahabaha tribesmen.

There was not a single enemy left on the street.

Only the breath of the surviving humans panting in terror rang silently.
