Episode 235. This leads to this
Time manipulation.
It’s a word that even Kim Jin-seong, a cautious person who always assumes the worst of the worst, has never thought about.
That time when I was momentarily stunned by a completely unexpected ability.
[Come to your senses!]
Dantillion’s loud shout shook Kim Jin-seong’s brain.
‘… Let’s start with warp.’
Kim Jin-seong came to his senses and used the ‘Dimension Shift Teleportation’ skill.
At the same time, the surrounding environment changed in an instant.
In a pitch-black dark space, in the middle of the city where buildings are lined up.
As soon as you get to the rooftop of one of those buildings,
“What happened?”
Park Do-jun’s voice asking urgently came from right next to me.
Jinseong Kim answered.
“It was a complete failure.”
“this… .”
“We will begin the second operation immediately. “The second operation location is Alpha Clan headquarters.”
Park Do-jun’s expression distorted at the words that followed.
“Alpha Clan?! Ah, sir! “Of all the clans, why is it the Alpha Clan headquarters?”
“Move quickly! “We need to get into action quickly before the enemies unite.”
“Damn… .”
Even though Park Do-jun was grumbling, he immediately pressed the power button on the radio and quickly began reporting to someone.
After talking for a while, he said to Kim Jin-seong.
“Preparations for the second operation have begun. “I will report as soon as preparations for the headquarters terror attack are complete.”
“okay.”
As soon as he answered, Kim Jin-seong’s new brother disappeared from the rooftop.
Afterwards, he appeared above the Alpha Clan headquarters building in the sky.
Jinseong Kim was looking down at the building from the air while using the ‘Complete Invisibility’ skill.
Now, as soon as I heard Park Do-jun’s voice through the earphones I put in my ears, I was scheduled to be deployed to the second operation.
‘Anyway, are you really sure?’
Kim Jin-seong, who had some free time, once again asked Dantillion a question.
[What do you mean? Are you talking about the abilities of a guy named Hemmingston?]
‘uh.’
[Yes.]
Dantillion continued his answer.
[I was suspicious from the beginning after seeing the video keep moving around, as if a video was being played with the middle part cut out.
Even if you are a demon god and not from Middle Earth, if you move quickly, you will leave at least a trace. But Hemmingston, he didn’t leave any traces when he moved.
And at the end, when I blocked your attack.]
Dantillion recalled Hemmingston blocking Kim Jin-seong with his sword while he was charging at him while being hit by an Abyss bomb.
[When I saw that a sword that had never existed before suddenly appeared, I was convinced that it was a time manipulation ability.]
‘… ‘There was no sword?’
[Think about it carefully.]
Jinseong Kim quickly traced his memories from the final floor of the Demon Dungeon a little while ago.
… It was true.
From the time he was first surrounded, Hemingston had not had a sword mounted anywhere on his body. He did not have the sword sheathed on his belt or back, nor was he holding it in his hand.
‘Even the first time I attacked, I rushed in with my bare hands and used the skill.’
When he suddenly divided the final sum, he swung his sword with all his might.
So where did the sword come from? It wasn’t anywhere on my body before, and what’s more, one of my subordinates had never brought it to me.
‘I didn’t even see it being taken out of something similar to a subspace bag. So really… ?’
[Time manipulation is correct.]
Dantillion’s voice was heard interjecting in a confident tone.
‘Are you really sure? Could it be that he has other abilities? Someone with the ability to teleport a weapon from subspace to their hand… .’
[With such an insignificant ability, how could he have attacked you, who moves at the speed of light, twice?]
Dantillion, who silenced Kim Jin-seong with a rebuttal, continued.
[And among the guys I know, there is one guy who acts exactly like Hemingston.
‘That guy’ also has the ability to manipulate time.]
‘okay?’
[From now on, you must use ‘that guy’s’ abilities.]
Dantillion’s tone changed to a familiar tone.
This is the tone that Jinseong Kim uses when he usually educates him.
[Because the only way to overcome the ability to manipulate time is to possess the same ability.]
‘… How can I use my time powers? And who is ‘that guy’ again?’
[Do you remember what I taught you yesterday just before leaving the Demon Dungeon?]
‘That’s it… .’
Kim Jin-seong’s eyes suddenly widened as he tried to answer Dantillion’s question.
‘… no way?’
[okay. Now you know who the ‘guy’ I was talking about is.]
Jinseong Kim nodded.

Because, with the abilities taught to me by Dantillion yesterday, I could only summon ‘that’.
It was then.
– Everything is ready.
–
Park Do-jun’s voice came from the earphones in my ears.
Jinseong Kim answered right away.
“Operation begins.”
At the same time, Kim Jin-seong began descending vertically toward the Alpha Clan headquarters building.
* * *
That time.
“phew… !”
“I lived… .”
“Is everyone okay?”
In a secret location set up in the Alpha Clan’s headquarters building, the people who had come over as a group were gathered together and heaving a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, Alpha Clan members quickly inspected the damage and reported it to Hemmingston.
“I will report to you. There are a total of 24 casualties among the deployed clan members, 3 of whom are seriously injured. Fortunately, there were no deaths and all of the seriously injured appear to be able to return to their original state after treatment.”
“What is the damage to these people?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“good. “Everyone, return to your positions.”
“four.”
After the reporter retired with a salute, Hemingston looked around.
He was lost in thought as he looked at the people who were still unable to recover from the shock of meeting the demons.
‘If it weren’t for me, there might have been a chance that it would have been wiped out.’
If Hemingston, who had set foot in the final layer of the Demon World even once, had not attended this meeting.
What if he didn’t know he could use the ‘time reversal’ ability?
There was a very high probability that most of these people could not break through the demons’ siege and were destroyed.
‘I checked again. Demon gods are absolutely impossible to deal with with human abilities.’
Even Hemingston did not dare to confront the demons and considered running away.
In such a situation, how could those who were much weaker than him survive against the demon gods?
‘Luckily, I was able to find the coordinates quickly through time reversal, but… .’
▷ Time Rewind: Turn time back to the past. Only the user goes back to the past with all their memories from up until now.
You can go back in time for up to 10 seconds.
Immediately after moving to the final floor of the Demon World, Hemingston, who confirmed what dimension he was in, immediately used his ‘time retrograde’ ability to return to the past.
Hemmingston, who returned to the 5th floor Demon Dungeon dimension, the original meeting location, picked up the ‘dimensional coordinate calculator’ that had been placed near the conference room in advance.
Hemmingston, who was forced to move back to the final layer of the demon world at almost the same time, immediately found the current coordinates and used the ‘time retrograde’ ability again.
After preparing to open the ‘dimensional gap’ connected to the Alpha Clan headquarters, the dimensional gap was opened as soon as they moved to the final floor of the Demon World.
‘After that, I was barely able to get help from my subordinates, but it was still dangerous. Especially Kim Jin-seong, that guy… .’
Hemmingston’s eyes sank as he remembered Kim Jin-seong’s appearance.
A little while ago, when he faced Kim Jin-seong twice, Hemingston used the ‘Time Reverse’ and ‘Time Stop’ skills once each.
At first, it was used immediately after confirming where Kim Jin-seong was hiding.
By tracking the movement of the Magi through the dimensional gap, he managed to find Kim Jin-seong’s location, but during that time, the dimensional gap closed again.
So, I went back to the past 10 seconds later using ‘time retrograde’ and even used the ‘time stop’ skill.
▷ Time Stop: After stopping time in the current dimension, only the user can take action.
However, the time limit is 0.01 seconds.
Although the time limit was very short, it was still enough time to surprise Kim Jin-seong.
This was possible because Hemingston’s level was so high.
‘But that guy was moving so fast. I never thought I would use my abilities again to block one attack… .’
To be honest, Kim Jin-seong’s last charge was unstoppable at first.
In fact, Hemmingston reacted after Kim Jin-seong rushed in and blew up the dimensional gap. Kim Jin-seong’s speed was that fast.
After using ‘Time Reverse’ again to go back to the past, he used ‘Time Stop’ in succession to rush into the charging route in advance and block it, which was a shame, otherwise Hemingston’s own life would have been in danger.
‘… In any case, I escaped the most dangerous situation.’
First of all, safely moving to the Alpha Clan headquarters without any deaths was a great success in itself.
Now that they have returned to their home ground, no matter what strategy Kim Jin-seong carries out, they can prepare more quickly and safely than on the final floor of the Demon World Dungeon.
“Thank you, Mr. Hemingston.”
At that time, Yoo Jun-ho approached him and bowed politely with sincerity.
“If it weren’t for Hemmingston, none of the people here would have survived so safely.”
“Don’t relax yet.”
Hemingston said firmly.
“Only one of the enemies who appeared on the final floor of the Demon World was Kim Jin-seong. “It wouldn’t be surprising at all if the rest of the team raided the headquarters right away.”
“I know. So as soon as we arrived, we immediately requested emergency reinforcements from all major clans.
“Within 10 minutes at the latest, reinforcements from all clans in the center area will gather here, at Alpha Clan headquarters.”
“… “I understand.”
Hemingston stared at Yoo Jun-ho with his head lowered.
‘It’s definitely a great piece of wood. There’s a reason why that old man from the Daehan Clan praised me until my lips dried.’
He never loses his temper in any situation, and the way he responds to emergency situations is also quick and flexible.
Considering his already proven personal abilities, Yoo Jun-ho is a perfect leader in every aspect except experience.
‘It’s going to take a while for Duke to catch up… .’
Hemingston’s gaze naturally turned to the Duke standing behind him.
The sight of him silently looking at Yoo Jun-ho’s back with a cold gaze was no different from before in the 5th floor Demon World Dungeon.
It was then.
Ugh~!
Suddenly a familiar sound came from above the ceiling.
When he looked up, Hemmingston’s eyes caught the sight of a wide warp magic circle that had been created before he knew it.
‘how?!’
It is not anywhere else, but inside a secret building within the Alpha Clan headquarters. This means that it is a place where it is impossible for outsiders to sneak in or break in.
An unauthorized warp magic circle is created in such a place?
‘Could it be the work of Kim Jin-seong’s people again?’
That was when I thought about it.
Someone appeared through the warp magic circle,
“… … !”
Hemingston’s eyes widened.
That… ?!
