My Range is One Million

Chapter 260: Come on! – 1

SWOOSH

The weather was rather chilly.

If the gate of the Republic of Korea was a subtropical climate, this gate was at a place that was cold and windy. Short grasses and desolate rocks that stick close to the ground greeted him.

There was no one around except Jaehwang.

When Jaehwang said he wanted to move as quietly as possible to Elus, Rothschild guided him to a gate unknown to the outside world. Failure to report the discovered gate is a serious crime, but for the family of Rothschilds, such seems allowed.

Where Jaehwang passed was a small gate about 20 meters high, hidden by a natural barrier on Elus’ side.

Jaehwang, who checked the terrain through his tablet, said with a nod,

“Well, This looks like a correct location...”

Before coming here, Jaehwang took over all the information the Rothschild family had gathered. It was about 600 kilometers from where he was now to his destination, Kingdom of Three Sky religion. It would take as long as a half-day on Earth, but it’s quite a long way from here in Elus. The family said it would provide a means to move into the air, but Jaehwang doesn’t know how to use it anyway and doesn’t want to take another pilot because of it.

Walking down the rocky mountain where the gate was located, Jaehwang took a necklace out of the Infinity Storage. It was a necklace with a small jewel in the middle, which he received as a token of promise after the fight with L. Of course, it has more function than being a token.

Holding it in hand and pressing down on the center of the necklace with his finger, the golden light began to rise from the jewels.

FLASH

The jewel that was emitting light soon turned into stones emitting a dull glow. It’s not so surprising. It’s kind of a cool time, and Jaehwang knows that it’ll be back in about ten days.

When Jaehwang raised his head, he saw a figure in his sight. It was a woman with a cigarette on her finger who fell from the air and landed in front of Jaehwang.

Her face crumpled like a piece of tissue when she looked at Jaehwang. Jaehwang opened his mouth first.

“Long time no see.”

“Isn’t it just two days?”

“I didn’t know I’d use this so fast.”

With a shrug, Jaehwang tossed the necklace into the Infinity Storage. L, who was looking up and down at Jaehwang with uncomfortable eyes while dropping the cigarette ash, immediately sighed.

“Yes. What did you call me for? Don’t tell me you called me on trial.”

“Are you busy?” Jaehwang asked.

“Yes, your girlfriend almost broke Al’s heart, so I’ve been treating him so far.”

Jaehwang shrugged at her answer.

Although Goongi almost broke his stomach, it happened inevitably because the two met as enemies.

“The reason I called is because of the humans who are building a country called the Kingdom of Three Sky religion in Elus.” Jaehwang showed the map by activating it with his tablet and L, who checked it, nodded. “Do you know about this?”

“You mean those guys who live deep in the Great Forest?”

“The Great Forest?”

“Yes, there is a quite large mountain range called Tiss. It’s a place that comes so far that I don’t really care about.”

“Have you been there?”

“Yes, I went up and had so much fun when a new girl in the temple who believes in me told me that humans would show up and kidnap her fellow countrymen.”

Jaehwang didn’t know what it meant to be ‘having fun’, but now he knew that L knew about that kingdom.

“Good. I have business there.”

“Is that all you’re asking me for? Humans can go there easily.”

The only reason humans don’t use aircraft in Elus was because of the airborne monsters, not because they can’t. Moreover, there was no threat of airborne monsters if Jaehwang, a specialist on a long-distance attack, was there.

“There are a few small requests...”

“Huh...” L’s face frowned at Jaehwang’s words.

“What’s the problem?”

“Al’s treatment is not over. He was forced to sleep, but we can’t leave for long.”

“It’s nothing, really. Just do me a simple flavor after taking me to the place I want. It’s going to be over in a day at the earliest.”

Jaehwang shrugged slightly. What he asked for was really nothing. Of course, it’s nothing much on this side, but it’s a disaster on the other side.

Three Sky religion, who was pushed out of the earth and settled in Elus, took a foothold in the center of the Great Forest of the Tiss Mountains around a huge lake. Lee Myung-bok, the first leader, named it the Holy Land of Three Sky religion and completed the city of El-Seoul 20 years later.

Many lives were lost in the process.

To the humans who came to Elus with nothing, everything in Elus threatened their lives. Not only that, but the Three Sky religion also spared no lives of his congregation in building a saint.

Three Sky religion wasn’t the only one who crossed over to Elus at the time. Many of whom were deceived by the religion were taken away and the number was as high as half a million. And 100,000 of them were sacrificed in completing this El-Seoul.

With the lake as the center of El-Seoul, a huge sky-high castle stood tall. This was the Three Sky Palace where the Three Sky religion’s leader stays. The entire palace was shining in golden light because it was covered with gold. The amount of gold injected amounted to tons and, except for it, all kinds of colorful precious metals were adorned.

El-Seoul was a circular city that radiated around the Three Sky Palace. If you look at that section, there are four main sections, the center of the Three Sky Palace was home to the leader, the children of the leader, and the core power of Three Sky religion and their families. The second section surrounding Three Sky Palace was home to high-ranking Hunters and high-ranking officials of the Three Sky religion, and in the third section surrounding them, the upper-ranking believers were last, living off of the outermost section, dividing the living quarters of ordinary believers and slaves. What was unusual was that the third and fourth zones were divided by high fortresses, and when high-ranking monsters appeared in the city, the fourth zone was still exposed to danger.

The ordinary believers, who are always exposed to the danger of monsters because they are adjacent to the Great Forest, live poor-quality lives, mobilized for various services such as El-Seoul’s development of the Great Forest that did not stop expanding even to date.

Dang, dang, dang...”

When the magnificent bell rang out at noon in the distance, those who were working in great sweats all at once knelt toward where the Three Sky Palace was.

“Under the light of the God of the Three Kingdoms, our father’s son, our lord...”

They looked far at the golden cross of Three Sky Palace, murmuring the Prayer of the Three Sky Religion and singing their hymns soon after. People were singing as hard as they could in fear of getting their throats burned in exchange for others seeing them as if they were not believing enough. Suspicious of the belief, the parish trials would take place and if the attention was raised, it would be used as a “holy party” to lure monsters to the attack squad that raids the Great Forest. Half of them would become food for monsters.

The child, who was sitting on his knees with his parents singing the Three Sky Hymns, began to look around with his eyes wide open. The child couldn’t stand the boredom of this time, though such conduct wasn’t supposed to be done. The child, who was rolling his eyes, suddenly stopped singing.

“Jaeho! What are you doing?”

When the child’s singing stopped, his mother pressed the child in a low voice to make sure others can’t listen. The parish trial did not consider age. In fact, if a child’s faith was suspected, the child’s parents were dragged instead.

But the child looked at one place absent-mindedly. The child’s mother then turned to the way the child was looking. And, like a child, she stopped the Three Sky Hymns and opened her mouth wide.

The Great Forest surrounding El-Seoul was fluctuating and wriggled as if it was alive.

There seems to be an outpour of murderous intent towards them coming from the Great Forest.

“Oh, no.”

She knew what it was.

That’s a monster wave... she was not without experience. Waves happen three or four times a year and so, many people were killed, but that’s not what she’s looking at now.

It had a terrifying scale that she had never experienced before, but what scares her more than that was the discovery of something huge flying towards El-City.

It was impossible to measure its size...

“D...Dragon...”

She’s never seen it in person, but she’s heard about the dragon.

The dragon, which appeared only once a long time ago, made a hell for a day and as many as 30,000 had to be brutally killed by the monster that the dragon brought.

The dragon, which was only heard by a story, appeared.

It was reproducing the nightmare of the past.

Some of the deepest parts of the Three Sky Palace were large and luxurious for prisons.

It’s a place with luxurious carpets, beds and everything else to live in, except for its thick, specialized iron doors.

A red-haired beauty was staring at a white man sitting in front of her with murderous eyes, using it to lock up a high-ranking hunter who had been recruited or kidnapped from the outside.

“Miss Serena, it’s not good for you to hold on longer.”

“Brown. Now you are threatening me?”

“It’s not a threat. Miss Serena, I just want to prevent you from being dragged away to repent for your sins.”

“My sin?”

“Yes, Miss Serena. You tried to seduce the innocent saints in our Kingdom of the Three Sky religion. Don’t tell me you don’t know that.”

“Ha.!” At his words, Serena snorted without refuting it. Even if she refuted it, it was only a recurring story, so she was now too lazy to open her mouth.

“If you change your mind now, I would recommend you to be the Three Sky Religion’s Goddess. This is a great opportunity.”

“Three Sky Religion’s Goddess? Ha-ha! How dare you try to make me, Serena Rothschild, the martyr of your church.”

“How dare you say such profanity... The master is the incarnation of Trinity. You’re going to be God’s woman!”

Thud!

“You’re crazy!” Serena punched her chair and shouted.

“Ha! Miss Serena, you are now rejecting it, but you will soon be born again under the blessing of the Holy Spirit of the Trinity.”

Serena wanted to kill the man in front of her right away. Not only did he appear every day and night and talk nonsense, but it was him who was the true cause behind the failure of her team’s attack.

He was the former head of Clan’s branch run by the Rothschild family, and he voluntarily participated in the expedition led by Serena. Had it not been for him, countless hunters who trusted and followed Serena would not have been killed, nor would they have seen those who had been enslaved be burned alive.

That was not enough and now, he’s asking her to become a woman of their god.

But Serena held back her anger. He was guarded by four six-star Hunters outside the door. Their intention was clear and it was to make her a believer of the Three Sky Religion. Though she was sick and tired of talking, she has to hang in there until the family sends a rescue team.

It was at that moment when a man burst into the door and whispered something to Brown.
