“Then that thing right now….”[They hid it so tightly that even the villains couldn’t find it. That’s why the goblins went insane once they learned about it. They’re foaming at the mouth, saying they’re going after it. Oh my, Podo! What do you think you’re doing going there?!]A clamor broke out beyond the doll. Beast-like cries followed, then Mother Ship’s urgent voice came through.[No good, kid. Get out of there fast. Jekyll Jack’s fighting the goblins, but there are too many. Hyde and the Phantom Thief can’t reach you—communication’s cut off.]Another deafening explosion came from outside, as if the whole world had split in two. The building shook so violently that it felt like the ground itself was swaying. Uichan stood up and said,“Mother, Podo—don’t come here. Tell Jekyll Jack to escape as soon as possible, too. I’ll head out soon.”[All right, got it. Be careful, kid.]Just then, sirens began wailing throughout the building. Uichan left the now-ordinary doll behind and stepped out of the waiting room. The hallway was already pandemonium. Screams and curses filled the air, the corridor swarming with people trying to find an evacuation route.Through the chaos, Uichan ran toward the training hall. Someone grabbed him.“Why are you going that way! The evacuation route’s the other side! The heroes are already dealing with the villains—going there’s dangerous!”“Sir, I’m a hero too. It’s fine.”He gently freed himself from the man’s grip, but misfortune struck again. The moment Uichan let go, the man was rammed by someone charging like a bull. Bounced around like a ping-pong ball, he let out a series of pained groans before collapsing far away.Seizing the opening, Uichan sprinted toward the training hall. The sight that met him was disastrous. The mock-city built for the exam was half destroyed, black smoke rising from everywhere. A hurricane-like gale swept through it all—Noatis’s wind ability.“Jekyll Jack’s over there! Get that bastard first!”“No! We can’t get close!”At the name “Jekyll Jack,” Uichan quickly searched for him. One wall of the hall had been blown apart, revealing the outside. Villains had apparently poured in through the gap, and heroes were throwing themselves in harm’s way to block them.“Damn it! You’re in my way—move!”Jekyll Jack snarled, roaring at everyone around him. Uichan immediately moved toward the explosions. There, amid successive blasts, Jekyll Jack was locked in a vicious fight.“That’s….”Through the flames and smoke, two figures clashed, ready to tear each other apart. One was Jekyll Jack, charging and bellowing like a beast. The other—A goblin.Over two meters tall, blue horns sprouting from his head, pale hair against dark skin, clad in a ragged but white robe.It matched exactly what Uichan had seen during the Seolhyang Village disaster. The fact that these beings had revealed their true forms—usually hidden in human guise—meant that whatever had been lost was incredibly precious to “Aengak.”“Brute strength is all you’ve got—!”“You’re one to talk!”The two glared at each other, eyes bloodshot, and collided again. Each impact sent out waves of wind that spread like wildfire, the earth-shaking crashes echoing through the hall.Jekyll Jack’s ability amplified his muscles thousands of times over, generating explosive power. On top of that, he could convert received attacks into raw strength—a regenerative combat ability. In close combat, almost no one could defeat him.But the goblin was matching him blow for blow. That meant its power far exceeded anything Uichan had imagined.“You think stopping me alone will change anything? How many of my brothers do you think came here today?”“Like I give a damn? As long as my kid brother’s safe, I’m good! Doesn’t matter how many of you there are—touch even a hair on his head, and you’re crossing the Jordan River today.”“You sure talk big!”“Wanna test it?”Jekyll Jack grinned, baring his fangs, his muscles swelling grotesquely. Veins bulged across his temples, and his body lunged forward like a cannonball.He rammed into the goblin head-on, driving him back with bull-like force. The concrete floor split, long cracks gouged out as the goblin was slammed into the ruins of a collapsed building.Jekyll Jack didn’t stop. His fists flew faster than the eye could follow, and only the echo of brutal impacts rattled through the air, muffled by the choking dust.When the shattered structure finally caved in completely, Jekyll Jack halted. Dust hung thick over the ruins, and only the frantic shouts of evacuating heroes filled the air.Uichan knew they had to get out—fast. Staying here with Noatis nearby would only make things worse.“Jack, stop and get out now!”“What the—kid?! Where are you! You’re the one who needs to get out! Don’t come—don’t you dare come here!”Through the dust, Jekyll Jack’s voice rang out. Uichan ignored him and moved toward the sound—until he heard a deep, ominous noise.Crrrk—.Like twisted rebar, like a skeleton collapsing—it echoed through the entire hall. Uichan stopped and looked up. Everyone around him must have felt the same dread.The air grew eerily still. In that silence, certain sounds stood out all the more.KWA-KWA-KWA-KWA—!A hurricane engulfed the entire hall. Within it, multiple shadows flickered. Noatis stood at the center, fighting alone against more than ten goblins.“Cover Noatis! Hurry!”“With what! We can’t even get close!”Heroes were flung back by the storm, helpless to approach. Another ominous crack # Nоvеlight # groaned through the structure. The gale made it sound faint, but it was anything but small.“Kid!”Jekyll Jack, covered in dust, burst from behind and grabbed Uichan’s arm. By then, everyone had realized where the dreadful noise was coming from—The dome ceiling spanning the entire 5,000-pyeong training hall was collapsing. Starting from the corners, the framework gave way. It was about to crash down, and if it did, the casualties would be catastrophic.“The ceiling’s falling! Run!”“What about the civilians still inside?!”“Damn it, Noatis!!”Beyond the hall, in the stands, terrified civilians crouched and trembled. The heroes had no clear way to reach them.Everyone cried out for Noatis to save them—but he was already locked in deadly combat. Their pleas only made things worse.Cracks spread across the ceiling, and the entire dome tore free. As it gave way under its own weight, it began to fall. The immense shadow covered everything below, screams breaking out everywhere.“Kid, come here! I’ll hold it back with this sturdy body, so don’t worry!”A massive, bear-like hand pulled Uichan close. Shielding him like a child, Jekyll Jack crouched under thick steel beams. But Uichan saw it—The trembling rising from the ground, debris floating upward like weeds in water, and the faintly green wind surging from below.“Noa!”Someone shouted toward the air. There, Noa stood alone, facing the villains. Those who had covered their heads now opened their eyes, shocked to find no impact. They looked up.“The wind… it’s holding up the dome.”The wind rose from below, supporting the massive structure. Its refined, sharp texture was visible to the naked eye. But because of that, Noa couldn’t counterattack properly.“Let’s go while we can. Those bastards aren’t going to stop.”Jekyll Jack stood, scanning for an exit. But Uichan didn’t move. Jack grimaced, ready to hoist him over his shoulder—when Noa, bleeding heavily, fell from the air under the goblins’ relentless assault. Barely regaining balance, Noa sent blades of wind slashing through his enemies.But even fighting with all his might, he was also holding up the dome above them.The violent hurricane vanished as if swallowed whole. At this rate… Noatis was in danger.
