When the business with the black creatures out there wasn't over, he had to get another problem in the afterlife.
"Am I dead?""Are you an angel?"Adam felt confused. The place he visited seemed to be on earth, but the atmosphere he felt was like being in another dimension. "Just answer my question. Do you want to come back to life and take your revenge?" The creature continued to press him. "How can I go back?" He could only stare at the creature."I will come with you. The explanation will come later after we return to your world." the creature whispered into Adam's ear with a smile. Snap! The snap of his fingers made everything between the two of them into an infinite white room. Adam was surprised by the change. The creature in front of him suddenly transformed back into a luminous figure that shone so brightly. If you could imagine the black creature before, then the creature in front of Adam right now was the light version."Before we go back, there's something you should know. The black creature that killed you has made a massive invasion across the world. What happened to your town is also happening in other towns. Your top priority is to hunt them down and kill them! They are your current enemy." The glowing creature snapped its fingers again before Adam could reply. Snap!When Adam opened his eyes, he woke up where he had died. What he saw was still the same. Barren, arid, fire everywhere, lots of debris scattered around, and many bodies lying around. He pinched his cheeks to prove himself alive again. And he was sure! "No way! How can I come back to life?!" Adam looked at his previously badly injured chest. Incredible! The large hole in his chest had disappeared. He also felt his heartbeat returning. This really didn't make sense!"Well, now what do I do?" He felt confused. In the midst of the destruction there were no other humans except him. "Oh, you came back?" someone spoke behind him.Adam turned around. He felt an overwhelming sense of fear when he saw the black creature again. The creature's smirking black lips were enough to make Adam shiver. "W-what should I do?!""It's right in front of me!""Help... anyone! Help me!" Sweat began to pour down his body. His tongue felt numb and he could only stand without moving. "How did you come back to life?""Are you... a hunter?" The creature approached Adam. It watched every inch of his face while questioning the reason Adam came back to life. There was no fear, the creature was really playing with Adam's already frazzled feelings."Hey, answer me. How did you come back?" He tapped Adam's forehead with one finger. Can't speak! Adam felt like his mouth couldn't open. The intense fear was crushing him. Even more so, when the black creature was so close to him. He trembled even more when he looked into the creature's eyes."You won't answer? Fine... then I'll kill you again! Let's see if you can come back to life after this!" The black creature immediately attacked Adam's chest with his hand. But before his hand could penetrate the young man's chest, he was shocked as his target disappeared from sight. Adam suddenly moved away from where he was."What?!""Why am I here?"His eyes opened very wide. His previously closed mouth suddenly opened in surprise. "No way!" The creature didn't expect that. It stared at Adam curiously. As the black creature again attacked Adam by moving towards him, the man was again able to dodge the fist thrown by the creature. This time Adam dodged so quickly. The creature's attacks also rushed towards him. "No way!" The black creature was annoyed. Its fist, which had a speed above that of an ordinary human fist, was easily dodged by Adam."Punch him in the face!" Someone whispered loudly in his ear. One of Adam's hands immediately struck the black creature in the face, sending it flying far back. Adam felt an energy field collide between his hand and the creature, causing it to move away from him. The smile on his face assures us that he has the ability to defeat the creature. However, he also felt confused about himself. "What's going on?" "Is this the kind of power that superheroes have?"Adam still doubted his punch. But he was eager to kick the creature again. "You bastard!""You dare hit me?!"The creature stood up again. This time it looked very angry. The darkness surrounding its body was suffocating. Even the small stones beneath it were flying around. "Die!" He suddenly appeared right in front of Adam while swinging his fist. For the second time, Adam heard the same voice as before. "Dodge!" In a matter of a few seconds, the creature's fist closed in on Adam's face. But strangely when the creature managed to punch his opponent in the face, a few seconds later his opponent was standing elsewhere unharmed. "What?!" "He changed places again?!" The creature looked dumbfounded.Adam realized that the voice that whispered to him had saved him twice. He had recognized it long before the voice whispered to him. Adam only realized that the voice was coming from the luminous being he had previously encountered in another dimension. "I remember you. You're a strange glowing creature, aren't you?""It's good to be remembered. Earlier, I promised to help you. And right now, I'm keeping my promise.”The luminous being continued to speak through the heart. Adam hadn't expected to see him again. But hearing that it would keep its promise this time, he was happy. "Don't play games with me!""You bastard!" The black creature looked agitated. It attacked Adam again. This time one of its hands seemed to turn into a spear point. But just as the creature was about to stab him with the spearhead, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of the two. "You dare to pass through the portal and mess up this world. So, don't blame me if I kill you and the Ordogs. The black creature's hand stopped. It was surprised when a palm grasped the spearhead tightly. "You?!" "No way!""Paladin?!"The name uttered by the black creature made Adam curious. Paladin—he had never heard that name before."Ordog, you've really made us furious! Your foolishness of wanting to rule the three worlds is unforgivable!" The paladin standing in front of Adam strangled the black creature with his other hand. "Wh-what do you want?! You're not allowed to interfere in human affairs!" The black creature called Ordog looked annoyed. It tried to release the grip of the Paladin's hand from its neck. "Don't worry. We already have a way out. If we can't interfere in human affairs, then we just need to make them like us. You will witness the rise of your people's hunters. And those hunters will be referred to as Jager by the other humans." After he finished speaking, he threw the disgusting creature away. "Insolent!" The unidentified ordog stood back up. Just as he was about to attack again, the Paladin who had been near Adam stood behind him. Ordog was taken by surprise. There was no time for him to turn away or dodge. Quickly the sword that Paladin created from his light slashed through Ordog's neck until the black creature vanished into a puff of black smoke. "He is dead, but there are many other Ordogs. We must hurry to close the portals in this city to stop the invasion." The Paladin approached Adam at a leisurely walk. "You owe me an explanation!" Adam had no idea about Paladins or Ordogs. He also didn't understand what exactly the portal and the invasion meant. "Agreed. Then let's go!" Paladin took Adam to where the portal was.Using teleportation, Paladin brought Adam near a dimensional portal. The portal was located at the site of a national monument. But unfortunately, the portal destroyed the national monument without leaving a trace. And the portal was the cause of all the disasters that occurred. The diameter of the portal was as high as the national monument. It was about 550 meters tall. It was shaped like a circle with a bluish-white shell of energy in the center. If you're used to seeing dimensional portals in science fiction games or movies, that's what the portal in front of Adam looked like. Everything around the portal looked destroyed. There were so many ruins of buildings scattered around. Plus, there were several humans who seemed to be approaching the portal. "So this is the portal?""Cool, right?""Do you want to admire it or close it?""Both."Paladin saw several people walking from different directions. They were heading towards the portal. He realized that they were humans shaded by
"King?!" Adam was startled. He turned his head quickly towards the Paladin. "Adam, from now on you must fight alone. I will only stay inside your body. The Paladins are not allowed to join in attacking the Ordogs. You must fight them with your own strength." The Paladin felt it was time for him to say goodbye. He would return to Adam's body and serve only as an observer. "Wait a minute! Then what about me? Am I supposed to kill those creatures with my bare hands?" Adam felt confused. The paladin had given him no choice. He doubted himself. He doubted if he could defeat those creatures. The paladin didn't just walk away from him. He gave Adam the knowledge of his powers. Each Paladin is endowed with their own special powers. It was that power that could be used by humans who were chosen to become Jagers—Ordog hunters. "Take a good look at my power. When we join again, your body will understand me. Every experience and memory I have will be experienced by you as well. It's like we s
The swing of the black trident, which was as large as a 400-meter lighthouse, sent the Jagers flying. The wind caused by the swing of the trident made the dust around the portal billow upwards. As the Ordog king swung his trident again, the few people who managed to dodge began to attack him. They created a combination attack to tie up the giant's body. "Hey, tell me how!" Adam tried to think. He was still looking for a way to defeat the Ordog king. "You have to die." Paladin gave the answer. "What do you mean?" Adam was confused. "I will drain my maximum power into your body. Your body will be destroyed, but you will evolve into a being equal to Paladin. Let's call it half-Paladin. With that evolution, you can use up to 80 percent of my power. That's enough to kill him." The Paladin had finished explaining. Adam felt indecisive. He who had just come back to life did not want to die again. Moreover, this time there was no guarantee for him to live again. Paladin left the decision
"This is a gift from me to you. Live once more and stop them the right way. We will meet again when you realize who you really are." Those words always plagued Adam's mind when he slept. Dreams about the war between Ordog and himself, the ruined city, the dimensional portal in the middle of the city, and the glowing figure of a Paladin he did not recognize. All of those things continued to plague Adam for the rest of his life. "Another nightmare?" Someone greeted Adam who was asleep at his desk. "Sorry. These dreams have been coming for the past few years. I don't even know what it means." Adam stretched his neck muscles. After that, he drank the coffee he made last night."Hey, if you think the dream is related to Ordog's first invasion of Earth, then you've lived for a hundred years. You could be a survivor or a time traveler. But, that's not possible." Jonny; Adam's coworker laughed so hard that he forgot about the glass door in front of him. "Ouch!""Who moved the door?!"He w
"Get out of here!" One of the soldiers shouted once more before he was killed by one of the Ordogs. The citizens immediately ran to save themselves. But unfortunately, the Ordogs who were shaped like birdmen immediately hunted down the fleeing citizens. Adam who was carrying Patrick immediately left the chaos. The loser who was good at running away finally showed his skills. He took a shortcut on a small road. His legs kept running until he reached the end of the road. "Oh, shit! "They're everywhere!" Adam ran into the Ordogs again. He turned right and ran away from them. Together with the people, he continued to run towards his office which was not far from the road. Unfortunately, the bird-man Ordog chased after him. The claws on the Ordog's legs slashed at both of Adam's shoulders, causing him to fall forward. And the cat also fell and escaped from his hands."Patrick!"Unfortunately, the cat ran off without him. It seemed that Patrick really knew how to return a favor to his
The situation outside the administration building was getting messy. After the administration building was destroyed, the people who took refuge inside chose to leave for the mountains to the south. Even so, the Ordogs were still on the loose to hunt down the humans still around the portal. The black gorilla was still serving the few Jagers and soldiers who kept urging him to return to the portal. "Are you coming with me?" Jonny asked his friend to come with him to the south. "Sorry, but I'm staying here." Adam felt that there were many things to take care of in the city. "Are you crazy?! Why do you want to stay here?" Jonny found his friend very strange. "Patrick is out there. I have to find him." Adam's reasoning made no sense. "Patrick? He's just a cat! You want to risk your life for him?" Jonny felt like his friend's brain was broken. "Whatever you say, but I'll stay here." Adam remained in the administration building. He refused his friend's offer. "Whatever you say!" Jonn
"Is there any guarantee that the portal won't close while I'm inside?" "Of course not. No one knows what will happen."Adam felt unsure about going inside. However, looking at the injured people, the destroyed buildings, and the dead, he felt their sacrifice should be atoned for. If the portal remained open, Adam feared a second attack from Ordog. "Hey! You!" Someone shouted at him. Adam looked down. He saw a Jager who asked him to come. It looked like the person was a senior Jager. It was obvious from his rather old face. "You shot that thing?""That's right.""Are you one of the Jagers?""No, I'm not. I'm just a citizen.""Just a citizen? That doesn't make sense.""Then why?""An ordinary person with Jager powers as strong as yours should be in the Jager organization. Are you a newcomer?" The Jager continued to ask her questions. He was curious about the identity of the man who had killed the black gorilla. While the junior and senior Jagers cleaned up the mess, he continued to
The shot caused the crystal at the top of the tower to crack and slowly disintegrate in an explosion. A wave of energy swept through the air to where Kato and Oliver were. Both immediately turned their heads towards the portal that was quite a distance away from where they were. "The portal is shrinking!" Kato shouted."We have to hurry! I don't want to get stuck in this dimension!" Oliver recreated the shadow horse. Since there was no time left, Kato got on the horse as well. Oliver rode his horse at full speed. He used his Mana to speed up his horse. "The portal is closing very fast!" Oliver was afraid he wouldn't be able to catch up. They were currently about a kilometer away from the portal. "Maybe I can do this!" Kato remembered his teleportation technique. His memory of the battle between himself and Gideon had come in handy. "Do what?" Oliver doubted that they would make it in time. Before snapping his fingers, he held Oliver's shoulder with one hand. And when he snapped
