Chapter 760: PAID

Rumble—!!!

The ground trembled violently underfoot.

I steadied myself with Qi and looked up at the sky.

Torn dimensions—countless rifts like opened eyes filled the air.

The sky was crawling with Magyeong Gates.

“Fucking lunatic.”

The words spilled out before I could stop them.

And who could blame me?

It wasn’t just the sheer number of gates.

Every single one radiated red light.

That meant—they were all red Magyeong Gates, and red-ranked monsters were about to pour out of them.

Monsters that required a peak-level martial artist just to be hunted.

Creatures capable of turning the surroundings into ruins with their mere presence.

Of course, at this point, they weren’t all that threatening to me anymore.

‘I can handle a couple of them easily.’

Realistically, I could probably take on five, maybe six, at once.

But—

‘This is overkill.’

There were just too many of them.

I counted roughly over thirty.

Thirty red-ranked monsters?

‘They could flatten Hanam without breaking a sweat.’

Even in my past life, I’d never seen numbers like this.

This was completely outside my expectations.

Fighting numbers like that wasn’t just harder—it was exponentially worse.

Especially under these circumstances.

With no way to run and no chance to hunt them down while retreating, abandoning this position wasn’t an option.

‘There’s too much to protect.’

I scanned the area.

Fifty-some people still remained.

Understandably, their faces were filled with horror.

“R-red Magyeong Gates… so many of them.”

“Damn it. What are we supposed to do now?”

“How… how do we stop that…?”

Their despair rang out through the air.

Even in the grip of terror, they asked how to stop it rather than how to run.

‘Tsk.’

They knew.

They knew what would happen the moment they turned their backs.
