EP.125 The Heart of the Red Cross Society (3)

– Whoooosh!!! –

Kang Seo-jun flew through the clouds at supersonic speed, using 《Eye of Providence》 to check his current location.

‘I’m almost there.’

There was only one minute left until he reached the Red Cross Society’s hideout in Gangwon Province. Flying at Mach 1.2, approximately 1,469 km/h, it took him only five minutes to travel from Seoul to Gangwon Province.

‘This speed is unbelievable.’

Not just the speed, but the ability to take off and land freely regardless of the terrain was a powerful advantage. It offered overwhelming convenience that surpassed all existing human transportation methods.

‘Until now, long-distance travel was only possible with ‘Teleport Scrolls,’ which was really inconvenient….’

Now, he could cover a distance of 100 km in just three minutes by flying, significantly expanding his daily activity range.

‘Now I just need to grow stronger.’

Once he gained more strength, he could freely sweep through prime dungeons and treasure vaults around the world. By the end of this week’s farming trip with Park Tae-ho, Kang Seo-jun’s specs would grow to at least [SS-] grade, making a global farming trip not far off.

‘The academy… I guess I’ll graduate early naturally.’

Today was Saturday, a regular day off, but even on weekdays, there was no longer a need to attend the academy. Kang Seo-jun had three reasons for enrolling in the academy:

First, to obtain the Fruit of the Sun through graduating as the top student.

Second, to build relationships with the heroines.

Third, to earn dimensional currency by performing well in academy exams and receiving sponsorship from the Constellations.

However, thanks to the variables brought by Luck ’50’ and the item 《Record of Destiny》, his plans had progressed much more easily and quickly than expected. Now, there was no need to attend the academy for those three reasons.

‘When I first came to this world, I thought I’d have to spend at least a year at the academy….’

Now, he could simply take the Fruit of the Sun by force from places like North Korea. His relationships with the heroines were already solid, and earning dimensional currency through farming was much more efficient than through academy life.

‘When circumstances change, it’s only right to change plans.’

For rapid growth, he planned to focus solely on farming for the time being. This meant he wouldn’t see the heroines for a while.

‘Ju-hee noona, Eun-ha, Se-rin, Chae-won, Seo-yoon noona….’

He needed to leave a message for each person in his contacts, letting them know that he would be busy and hard to see for a while.

‘I’ll finish everything quickly and then we’ll all live happily together.’

– Whoooosh!!! –

With such thoughts in mind, he flew across the sky, and there were now less than 10 seconds left until he reached his destination.

‘I should start gaining altitude.’

To approach the hideout without being noticed by the demons, he needed to conceal himself. Kang Seo-jun stopped using the 《Fire Attribute Mana》 for propulsion and used only 《Wind Spirit Magic》 to ascend above the clouds.

– Whoooosh!!! –

As Kang Seo-jun stopped at an appropriate distance, Park Tae-ho, who had been closely following him, also came to a halt beside him.

“Phew…! Are we there?”

“Yes. The destination is right below us.”

“Ah! Finally…! You! You fly incredibly fast! If the journey had been any longer, I might have lost you!”

“Haha….”

“I’m not saying this lightly. Your skills are far beyond what I expected. Were you at this level at this age in your previous life?”

“No. This is the first time I’ve reached this level at this age.”

“Wow…. So, you’re the best you’ve ever been across all your past lives!”

– Wahaha! –

Park Tae-ho laughed heartily, hands on his hips. The grandson-in-law he had seen through the 《Record of Destiny》 was already an extraordinary figure, but now, standing before him was someone who could grow even greater, making him feel immensely pleased.

“Ugh…. But it’s too high up here. It’s cold and the air is thin. Bringing an old man to such a place, isn’t that a bit harsh?”

“…Didn’t you say this morning that you felt like you were in your prime again?”

“I got exhausted trying to keep up with you. You’re ridiculously fast. So, when are we going down?”

“First, I need to assess the state of the hideout. I’ll check the number of demons and the location of the treasure vaults.”

“Ah, reconnaissance. Important. What’s the plan?”

“No specific plan. Observing from here should be sufficient.”

“Huh…?? From this distance…? You’re going to survey the hideout?”

They were currently at an altitude of 10 km, high enough to see the entire city like an anthill.

“What can you see from here?”

“I have a special trait for my eyes.”

《Eye of Providence Lv. Transcendent》, to be exact.

“Huh…! You can scout the enemy camp from this distance? The more I learn about you….”

Hearts filled Park Tae-ho’s eyes. He felt an overwhelming urge to take this remarkable and talented grandson-in-law to the tower immediately. With the abilities Kang Seo-jun had just demonstrated, he would already be a significant asset, and he was only going to grow stronger. It was impossible not to love such a grandson-in-law.

“….”

The gaze was too intense….

Kang Seo-jun tried to ignore Park Tae-ho’s fervent stare and looked down at the distant ground below. His gaze was fixed on the outskirts of a port city. There stood a large logistics center beside a nearly deserted coastal road. It appeared to be an ordinary logistics center, but in reality, it was the Red Cross Society’s supply hideout.

‘Let’s see….’

Kang Seo-jun activated 《Eye of Providence》 to zoom in on the logistics center. The first thing he needed to check was the position of the sentries.

‘First, I need to take out the sentries.’

If the sentries saw Kang Seo-jun and sounded the alarm, the demons could escape with the important items, reducing the loot by more than half. To ensure that not a single demon or piece of loot from the hideout was missed, he had to eliminate the sentries who acted as their eyes and ears first.

‘They’ve placed them densely.’

There were a total of 32 sentries. The security was tight at every entrance, regardless of direction.

‘I’ll deal with them all at once later….’

Next, he needed to locate the storage area where the loot was kept.

‘The logistics center building itself… doesn’t have much.’

The upper floors of the logistics center were filled with everyday items one might find at a Daiso store.

‘The real stuff is underground.’

There was a massive underground space spanning five floors.

‘The number of demons inside is….’

Roughly over 400.

‘That’s a lot.’

Among them, there were 17 demons of [A] grade or higher.

‘They look delicious.’

Seventeen [A] grade demons would be a formidable number even for [S+] grade Park Tae-ho, but to Kang Seo-jun, they just looked like sweet dimensional currency.

‘Since it would be difficult for Grandfather to handle them alone, I’ll join in and help take them down.’

Now it was time to plan how to deal with the underground hideout.

‘To ensure none of them escape, I need to block all their escape routes first.’

Apart from the 32 demons standing guard outside, the rest were all gathered underground. There were a total of eight entrances to the underground. Three were large enough for trucks, and five were indoor stairways.

‘That’s a lot of entrances. In the game, there were only two. Reality does change things.’

Blocking each entrance individually would take too long and risk alerting the demons.

‘The Kuyamoto clan could arrive at any moment. I need to hurry.’

The fastest and most effective way would be to collapse the entire building. If the debris blocked all the entrances, even [A] grade demons wouldn’t be able to escape easily.

‘Good. The plan is set.’

The rest could be handled with improvisation. Time to start.

“I’ve finished assessing the situation. There are a total of 448 demons, with 32 standing guard. The rest are gathered underground.”

“Huh…?”

Park Tae-ho’s eyes widened.

“Wait, you can assess that accurately from this distance? No, more importantly! You can see the ones underground too?”

“Yes. It’s a pretty good trait.”

“Pretty good? Hahaha….”

To call a trait that allowed one to assess an enemy camp as if it were in the palm of their hand from 10 km above ‘pretty good’—was this humility or arrogance? Even Park Tae-ho, who dealt with [S] grade monsters daily in the tower, had never seen someone with such an ability.

The continuous display of his grandson-in-law’s talents filled Park Tae-ho with excitement.

“What else are you going to show me?”

“….”

He hadn’t brought his grandfather along to show off his talents.

‘Well, if it helps increase his favorability, it’s not a bad thing.’

Kang Seo-jun decided to show everything he could at this moment.

“Until we enter the underground, I’ll handle things alone. Grandfather, please take care of the demons once we’re inside.”

“Alright. Leave it to me. I’ll handle it for sure. But when are you going to start?”

“First, I’ll take care of the sentries outside.”

“How? From here again?”

“Yes. I’ll show you another one of my new talents.”

It was a moment that would reveal a glimpse of the archmage level Kang Seo-jun would one day reach, using the extraordinary computational support of 《Eye of Providence Lv. Transcendent》 to cast high-difficulty spells.
