Destroying My Own World

Han Suk-Jin heard about what happened in China and there was so much footage about the cruelty that Aurea and Lillith did. He was summoned by the South Korean government because of that and they wanted him to protect the country.

"It's all happening around the world, and the worst one so far is South America. We don't know exactly how many lives that have been taken, but the whole continent has been occupied by the Rebirth Guild," The president said to Han Suk-Jin. "We have counted that almost all of the Rebirth Guild members are currently invading Europe, Asia, Australia, and South America. We believe they will send one or two of the remaining members here and in Africa," he added.

"You want me to deal with them on my own? To protect the whole country? That's a bit too much and I don't think I would do it for free either," Han Suk-Jin said as he crossed his legs.

"Of course, we will give you everything that you need, and we will give you special treatment. Not only that, we will loosen the restriction for you as a citizen," The president answered as he nodded his head since he already knew something like that would happen. "Also, you're not alone, we still have Jeong Ahn," he pointed out.

Han Suk-Jin looked at the president and started to chuckle then laughed because it was too funny for him.

"Right, I almost forgot, but what can he do exactly? He's a washed-up Awakener now, and I don't think people remember anything about him since he's always hidden in the shadow back when the Guild of the World existed," Han Suk-Jin said as he kept chuckling.

"You would be surprised after you found out what he's capable of now after he joined the government," The president said.

Han Suk-Jin was curious about that since nobody knew what happened to Jeong Ahn. The moment he joined the government and abandoned everything behind, everything about him disappeared.

While they were discussing the plan, the secretary came in hurriedly. He was panicking and they both already knew the time had finally come, but they were surprised who came to South Korea.

"Only one? Are you sure about that?" The president asked.

"Yes, and she's Manna. We don't actually have any information related to her and what kind of power she possesses. But if she came here on her own and appeared out of nowhere, we can assume she's powerful enough to terrorize the whole country," The secretary answered as he caught his breath. "As we speak, Jeong Ahn responded and is on his way to deal with her with twenty Awakeners and ten Chosen Ones," he added.

Han Suk-Jin hummed as he stood up.

"I'll join them now and get this done as soon as possible before that woman create havoc," Han Suk-Jin said and then left the office.

When he arrived, he saw a similar scenery to what he saw in China, Australia, Europe, and the United Kingdom. He couldn't believe that they would kill innocent lives even though the ones who had problems with them were the Guild League, the Union, and the Eurasia Guild.

Seeing there were a lot of dead bodies, Han Suk-Jin took their bodies and turned them into immortal warriors. He wouldn't get the same opportunity twice, and he took them happily since it would be a waste to not use them.

When he was turning the bodies into immortal warriors, he stumbled at someone that he recognized. He looked at the body and he pitied the body because it was Jeong Ahn with a big wound in his chest.

"You really risked your life for the people, I admire that," Han Suk-Jin said and then took Jeong Ahn's body and turned it into an immortal warrior.

He looked around and tried to find where did Manna go after she slaughtered those people. It didn't take him a while to find Manna who was busy terrorizing and killing people she saw. At that moment he immediately summoned his immortal warriors and the death knights and creatures from Korean mythology.

Manna turned around and saw thousands of warriors, knights, and creatures coming toward her. She then looked back and found the same thing approaching her, and she was glad she took South Korea over Japan.

"You came to the wrong place," Han Suk-Jin said with a cold stare.

"No, I think I came to the right place," Manna answered as she unsheathed her sword and covered the blade with [Hellfire].

Han Suk-Jin didn't have reason to talk with Manna anymore, so he ordered his summons to kill her. All the summons charged toward her, and the moment they were in range, she swung her sword and set them all ablaze.

He was surprised that Manna could hurt his death knights and creatures since they were supposed to be invincible by physical attack. But he kept watching to find out how strong she was and what kind of power she possessed.

"The only way to kill the dead is by burning them with fire from the underworld where they belong," Manna answered. "Something like this, I have dealt with this for a very long time," Manna said after she killed hundreds of them in just a minute as she looked at Han Suk-Jin.

"But you forgot that the dead can't be killed and their lives are eternal," Han Suk-Jin answered.

All the summons that Manna killed raised again, and this time all of them started to combine into four massive blobs. She watched carefully until the four blobs turned into something majestic and terrifying at the same time.

A black dragon, a blue kirin, a red peacock, and a white nine-tailed fox. All of them had the same size, a hundred meters tall and each one of them possessed different power and element. The dragon had poison dripping from its mouth, the kirin had water flowing around its body, the peacock had flame feathers, and the fox had wind circling its body.

"Now this is what I'm talking about," Manna said as she sheathed her sword. "I want to test my skill on a real opponent," Manna added as she clenched her fists and lit them with fire and cold mist.

Han Suk-Jin watched Manna could use magic like his summons as well, and not to mention her magic was more powerful than what his summons had. She could manipulate the ground, the steel, the light, the wind, the water, the ice, and lastly the weather. She could handle the four of them at once, and she was enjoying it that she toyed with them.

"(She's toying with those mythical creatures, that's nonsense)" Han Suk-Jin said as he watched Manna's power grow and increased the gap between her and the creatures. "(I never thought I would have to use this)" Han Suk-Jin looked at his palm.

Han Suk-Jin grabbed his dagger and cut his left palm open, letting the blood drip on the ground. The mythical creatures suddenly stopped attacking Manna and looked at the blood in his hand. They all immediately flew toward him and stood right in front of him with their heads lowered to smell the blood.

They drank the blood that Han Suk-Jin offered, and then the four of them slowly combined themselves and entered his body. Manna furrowed her eyebrows as she watched him surrounded by death and made his presence more powerful.

Han Suk-Jin was shrouded in red mist and coated his body with it, and his raid turned long and red as a rose. The mist was acting like a scarf, a cape, armor, a skirt, and a robe which made him look like a God. The blood on his palm slowly formed and turned into a long sword with red color like blood which was similar to the Blood Sword that everyone had before.

"It's over now for you," Han Suk-Jin said as he readied his stance and then dashed forward faster than the speed of sound.

He pulled his sword and then swung it down vertically right above Manna's head. When he thought he was about to cut Manna's head open, a flash of a sword could be seen passing through. His sword was shattered into tiny pieces when he thought he cut her head open.

"I should be the one who said that not you," Manna said and just stared into Han Suk-Jin's eyes.

Han Suk-Jin was in disbelief when the sword shattered, but when he wanted to move his body, his body was unresponsive. Suddenly his neck and down to his waist had been cut open, and blood started to gush out.

"Impossible..." Han Suk-Jin said as he slowly fell to his knees. "I borrowed the power from God! You're not supposed to be stronger than God!" Han Suk-Jin shouted and glared at Manna with a shocked expression.

"Then that means your God is weaker than me," Manna said and then cut Han Suk-Jin's throat.

Han Suk-Jin collapsed as blood covered the road underneath his body. Manna left and continued to find someone who would challenge her.
