The undead slowly gathered around Jinhoo.
They surrounded him from every direction, ready to tear him apart.
There were simply too many of them.
Jinhoo glanced around at his surroundings.
He was completely surrounded.
’Ugh... Can I just teleport back home?’
The moment he tried, nothing happened.
His power only allowed him to teleport within the surrounding area.
"Tch... So it’s being restricted."
The undead immediately charged toward him.
Jinhoo dodged each attack one after another.
Suddenly, one of the undead lunged at him from the side.
Noticing it instantly, Jinhoo spun around, allowing his leg to slam into the undead’s face.
Its body was sent flying.
The other undead reached for him, but Jinhoo leaped onto one of their heads before jumping even higher.
While suspended in midair...
Jinhoo reached toward his clothing.
He muttered quietly,
"Nano."
In an instant, countless microscopic particles flowed out from his outfit and gathered around his hand.
The particles fused together.
Within a heartbeat, they formed into a sturdy, razor-sharp steel sword.
Jinhoo’s body descended back toward the ground.
Without hesitation, he channeled his power into the Nano Sword.
A dark blue glow radiated from the blade.
Holding the sword tightly, Jinhoo spun like a whirlwind.
The undead trying to approach him were instantly sliced apart by the spinning blade.
He landed flawlessly on the ground.
Looking around, he quietly muttered,
"Hah... Looks like I’m going to have to work a lot harder for this..."
Slash after slash filled the battlefield.
A few moments later...
Hundreds of bodies lay scattered across the ground, cut apart by Jinhoo’s sword.
But no matter how many he killed...
More continued to appear.
’Ugh! This is starting to wear me out!’
Sweat soaked his face beneath the mask.
His breathing became heavier.
He tried to steady it.
Even so, it was only a temporary solution.
He still had no idea how to eliminate them all.
"Oh, come on! Give me a break!!"
he shouted.
He continued cutting down the undead without stopping.
His arms gradually began to cramp.
The dark blue glow on his sword, once brilliantly bright, slowly started to fade.
"Tch..."
The undead kept coming endlessly.
’This is really strange... I can’t even use my other abilities here... They’re only allowing my main power, and even that’s being restricted...’
As his thoughts wandered—
One of the undead suddenly attacked him from behind, slamming into his back and throwing him forward.
"Agh!"
He quickly turned around.
The moment he saw that undead, his eyes widened.
It was using a supernatural ability.
On its tattered clothing...
He saw the emblem of the Hero Association.
’The Hero Association!? An undead Hero!’
Just as Jinhoo focused on the undead Hero—
A loud roar echoed behind him.
A massive undead warrior leaped into the air, wielding an enormous greatsword.
It swung the weapon straight toward Jinhoo.
Seeing the attack, Jinhoo instantly teleported away.
"Hah... Looks like... this is even harder than I expected..."
His eyes swept across the battlefield.
’They’re all people who possessed supernatural powers...’
At that very moment...
Jinhoo sensed an overwhelming presence behind him.
He immediately spun around.
Only ordinary undead stood there.
’Where is it!?’
His eyes searched every direction.
Then realization struck him.
If it wasn’t around him...
There was only one place left to look.
The sky.
He looked upward.
Floating high above him was an undead figure.
Its arms were spread wide.
Above its head hovered a crimson-red crown.
"What the hell is that!?"
’I’ve never seen an ability like this while reading the webtoon!!’
The undead raised its right hand upward while lowering its left.
At once, tiny crimson waves emerged from both hands.
They converged together.
"Damn! It’s attacking!"
The converging waves suddenly transformed into a blood-red beam.
It wasn’t like an ordinary laser.
It looked more like a massive slash stretching across the battlefield.
The crimson beam shot straight toward Jinhoo.
Every instinct in his body screamed that blocking it was impossible.
The beam was already right in front of him.
A split second before it struck—
Jinhoo teleported away at the last possible moment.
Even so...
The overwhelming shockwave from the beam sent his body crashing onto the ground.
"Ugh... What terrifying power..."
He turned toward the place where the beam had landed.
The ground had been split apart instantly.
A gigantic slash carved through the earth, leaving behind a trench nearly four meters deep.
"That’s horrifying..."
’If I’d been even a second slower... there would’ve been a hole through my body...’
But something strange caught his attention.
He looked around.
’The ordinary undead... They’ve stopped attacking me...’
He looked back toward the floating undead.
"I see... So they submit to those who are superior among them..."
The floating undead assumed the same stance once again.
Preparing to fire another crimson beam.
"Heh... Trying that attack again? Too bad... I have an ability that lets me copy your attacks!"
Jinhoo immediately mimicked the undead’s movements.
Tiny blue waves formed around his hands.
They gathered together.
A beam nearly identical to the undead’s attack burst forth.
The only difference—
Its color was blue.
The floating undead answered with the exact same attack.
The blue and crimson beams collided violently.
Both attacks were equally powerful.
But one factor made all the difference.
Energy.
Jinhoo was human.
Naturally, his stamina had limits.
The undead, however...
Had no such restriction.
The crimson beam slowly began forcing the blue beam backward.
’Ugh! This technique is draining my energy way too fast...’
The crimson beam crept closer.
’Ugh!! This is bad!’
By the time it was only a few feet away—
Jinhoo could no longer maintain it.
His energy was being consumed at an unbelievable rate.
He released his attack and immediately dodged.
But the shockwave from the crimson beam blasted him away.
His body rolled repeatedly across the ground.
"Ugh... Damn it... How am I supposed to fight them when I barely have any energy left..."
His hand trembled.
He forced himself to stand.
His body felt unbelievably heavy.
"Hah... Hah..."
His breathing was ragged.
The undead floating in the sky slowly descended.
It landed beside the other two undead that possessed supernatural powers.
The three superior undead now stood together.
Jinhoo stared at them.
’The three of them possess incredibly powerful supernatural abilities... Especially the one that can float... Its strength is truly overwhelming...’
He glanced around once more.
’The ones without supernatural powers are just standing there... They don’t dare move forward... Looks like even the undead still retain some intelligence...’
Blood trickled down from his right hand.
Jinhoo lowered his gaze.
He had injured himself by forcing his power beyond its limit.
He grabbed his bleeding hand.
"Ugh... I’m really cornered now... There’s no way to escape them..."
Suddenly, an idea crossed his mind.
’Hey... my other self! Can you hear me?’
No reply echoed inside his head.
’Come on! I need your help! Please!’
Still...
Nothing.
’Tch... So I’m really on my own...’
He knew it.
Right now...
He was completely alone.
Facing thousands of undead...
And three superior undead.
He had truly been driven into a corner.
’Hmm... I can’t keep relying on someone else’s help... I have to figure out a way to survive on my own...’
