Who Is Calling Me?

"Call..."

After seeing that Ian hadn't lost his mind and dropped the terrifying nuclear bomb.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

They were terrified that the boy might actually choose to die together with his companions.

"Madman..."

King Gondor IV stared intently at Ian, and instead of replying to his mockery, he coldly cursed.

Honestly.

After witnessing the power of the Crystal Bombs that Ian had been bombarding.

He had already foreseen that the terrifying bomb this young man had just pulled out was one he... probably couldn't withstand...

As a former ancient king.

He doesn't shy away from this small setback.

Even... he was once a king who rose to power by humbly accepting advice.

But.

No matter what, he didn't want to get himself stuck here after just being resurrected.

"Foolish mortals..."

He muttered hoarsely, then prepared to leave, not wanting to get entangled with the other party any further.

This little brat in front of me.

He has mastered some powers that he is unfamiliar with, which are different from "Nen" and are extremely powerful.

King Gondor IV was not a fool; he admitted that he had underestimated the methods of humanity in this era.

But.

As a former king, he also had confidence.

Just give yourself some more time.

He will return to the world, restore the Gandor Dynasty, and establish a new order.

If I had to put it into words, this was the powerful confidence that once made him known as the "Born King"!

"महतरभिक्षुसङ्घेन..."

He slowly muttered eerie words.

Even gold couldn't understand it.

Not to mention Ian, however, "Godly Might No. 1" is floating next to him, and if anything changes, he will not hesitate to blast this thing away!

"Laugh..."

Located on either side of King Gondor IV, the green torches that had been there suddenly burst into flames as he chanted eerie incantations.

Then.

Under the astonished gazes of everyone.

The flames intertwined, forming an eerie green gate of fire.

Without wasting any words, King Gondor IV strode directly toward the gate burning with ghostly flames!

Everyone present noticed the other person's behavior, and their eyes narrowed.

"What is this guy trying to do!?"

The crowd was puzzled, and one of the Hunters said in a deep voice.

"Is this guy trying to run away?!"

Hearing this, even Ian was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening.

No way!?

Could this door be a spatial portal for this guy?

King Gondor IV did not have a [Anywhere Door].

But.

This [Netherworld Gate] is one of the abilities of [330,000-Part Requiem Offering Ritual].

By consuming 10% of the [330,000] offerings, one can use the ability to transfer to the Netherworld once.

Now, after being resurrected.

His former offerings of 330,000 are now less than one-fifth of what they once were.

No... you could even say it's less than one-eighth.

If, at his peak, he used this ability each time, it would mean consuming approximately three thousand people...

Even now.

The cost of using this ability is extremely high.

However, it is also very effective!

With the door already open, almost nothing could stop him from leaving.

He could even take away the terrifying monsters born from the "pillars".

They... formed the foundation for King Gondor IV's restoration of the Gandor Dynasty.

Jin was the first to discern the other party's thoughts.

His pupils contracted as he tried to stop the other party, no matter what method he used, as long as he interrupted the other party's ability, he thought he could deprive the other party of their means of escape.

So he tried to draw the other person into the Game World.

However, Jin failed...

He could sense that the other person was firmly locked onto by a certain space...

And...

The opponent's immense Nen was so overwhelming that he could hardly move against them.

"Ian, oh no, this guy's trying to escape!"

Jin quickly reminded him.

Ian instantly understood his meaning; the opponent was powerful, and they couldn't be allowed to escape so easily.

Otherwise, it will likely cause them endless trouble in the future.

But.

Aside from releasing Godly Might No. 1, he didn't have any particularly good options at the moment...

The dark aura surrounding the opponent already demonstrated their power.

Even using Cursed Doll wouldn't harm the opponent.

On the other side...

Even if they were forced to leave due to defeat.

However, King Gondor IV did not become angry or embarrassed, but instead said in a hoarse voice.

"Farewell, powerful young man..."

His gaze first fell on Ian, then swept over the crowd, and he said calmly.

"And you, the humans of this world, if you want to destroy me, then try it! Give me some more fun and let me see how powerful you are."

"Remember, you don't have much time left..."

"In time, the Gandor Dynasty will rise again, and you will enjoy... your final peace, while remembering my name..."

"I am King Gondor IV Sashado, the Born King, the King of the Sleepless Night!"

The words had barely left his mouth.

He had already stepped halfway into the [Netherworld Gate].

Then, he slowly stepped inside and mysteriously disappeared from the spot.

Since he left.

All the monsters inside the Ruins cave seemed to turn to stone, slowly sinking into the ground as they followed their king away.

Only one remains.

Located deep underground within the Ruins, there stand thirty-three unobserved "pillars" that have remained steadfastly within the Ruins.

No one has investigated it to this day!

And at this very moment.

Seeing Sashado leave.

Those who had intended to attack him widened their eyes in surprise as they watched him leave!

"This guy just left like that?"

"Damn it... that monster got away..."

"Once this guy escapes to the outside world, who knows what kind of trouble he'll cause!"

The team Exorcism Team also looked solemn and grim, whispering among themselves.

"This is bad. This monster is so powerful; it will likely cause a stir among the higher-ups..."

"I think our training needs to be intensified again..."

The crowd was buzzing with discussion.

Ian's expression was rather grim; the opponent's strength was unprecedented.

At least.

In his view, the opponent's strength was roughly no less than that of the Meruem, and he even possessed the ability to teleport, making him an extremely troublesome enemy.

To be honest, dealing with a guy like that is a real headache.

Every encounter with the opponent was an accident.

His priority right now is to develop himself, not to help Kim and Netero deal with these messes.

"Call..."

Ian let out a deep sigh of relief.

Let them go if they've run away.

In any case, he had temporarily averted a crisis, and he felt he had done a great service.

At the same time.

Located deep underground Ruins.

Unbeknownst to everyone at this moment, after the monsters within the Ruins disappeared with Sashado, the power of the thirty-three "pillars" embedded in the Ruins' structure temporarily ceased.

A strange Nen was slowly spreading outwards from the deepest part of the Ruins.

Located at the Sharku Manor.

Elina, who was playing with Aimon, suddenly paused, looked up at the horizon, and asked with some confusion.

"It seems... someone is calling me..."
