Chapter 762: PAID

Childhood Friend of the ZenithWords: 2084

Rumble---!!!

The deafening roar from the sky threatened to burst my eardrums.

Crackle.

Boom.

Beyond the churning black clouds, streaks of lightning swirled, crackling with raw energy. It was a scene one might expect only in the heart of a thunderstorm.

Everyone watching could only hold their breath.

Even without knowing its cause, the sight was awe-inspiring. Yet, this spectacle hadn’t formed naturally—it was the work of a single human.

How could anyone not be astonished?

This was no ordinary display—it went beyond mere admiration.

Rumble-!! Rumble---!!!

The storm above raged as if a colossal serpent writhed within the clouds.

A breathtaking scene, impossible to look away from.

While countless eyes remained fixated on the ominous display—

[Keeeee-aaaaah---!!!]

A monstrous cry pierced the air.

And at that moment—

[Kraaaaaaa---!!!]

From the countless Magyeong Gates suspended in midair, swarms of monsters poured out.

They resembled beasts but were far larger and more grotesque than any ordinary animal.

It was like watching massive buildings come crashing down.

Each one was powerful enough to raze an entire village, and the warriors nearby instinctively held their breath.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Disaster had struck.

Crimson-ranked monsters—beasts so powerful that only highly skilled martial artists could handle them alone.

Now, dozens of such creatures appeared at once.

If these monsters reached the ground, everything would be annihilated.

No matter how much they fought with determination and unity, there was a limit to what the warriors could endure.

They had already resolved to lay down their lives in battle.

Yet none of them could have expected this.

“Stay on your guard.”

That someone like me would dare face such monsters—

“It’ll get blinding, so you’d better close your eyes if you can.”

—only to summon something even more fearsome.

Whoosh.

A crimson robe fluttered as the old man raised his index finger and made a slight downward motion.

And then—

Rumble---!!!!

Boom--!!!

Lightning rained down from the heavens.

[Kraaaa!!]
